Remembering Lisa Walsh The Palm Coast and Ormond Beach communities likely never knew how instrumental Lisa Walsh was in the early days of the Observer.

But I knew. She was my patient and wise mentor, editing every page with me on deadline for the first year or two, on the phone, from Longboat Key. She died Sept. 14, at age 69 — way too early.

Her life and life's work are captured well in the Observer Media Group's story:

ReGrow the Loop workshop coming The next ReGrow the Loop workshop will be held from 10-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Ormond Beach Regional Library, at 30 S. Beach St. The free workshop is titled “Edible Landscaping and Plants in History” and will feature Reid Farm owner Lonnie Reid. The workshop will focus on how to create Florida-friendly edible landscaping and highlight the history of plants that have played a significant role in the area’s past, according to a news release by Dream Green Volusia.

The workshop will also feature Tomoka Basin Parks Ranger Mark Adams, who will speak about the history of the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail as told by its plants.

He will focus on the era of plantations and the Seminole War. Dream Green Volusia Founder Suzanne Scheiber said her organization appreciates the resources and partners that have joined the campaign.

“With so many new residents, the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail is one of a kind and deserves the educational focus for the public,” Scheiber said.

County adopts maximum Volusia Forever millage In 2000, voters approved a referendum to tax themselves 0.2 mills over 20 years for Volusia Forever. Voters renewed the environmental land acquisition program for another 20 years in 2020.

So when it came to trimming the budget, and Volusia Forever’s millage rate — which, while still at 0.2 mills, was 10.1% above rollback due to rising property values — citizens asked the Volusia County Council at its final budget hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 19, to move forward with the established millage rate. The same went for the 0.2 mills for ECHO, also reapproved by voters in 2020.

“Both of these initiatives were passed or reauthorized in 2020 by overwhelming majorities of the voters in Volusia County,” said David Hargrove, past president of the Halifax River Audubon. “None of us are asking you to protect us from ourselves. We knew what we were voting for.”

Councilman David Santiago had been interested in pursuing the rollback rate (the rate that would generate the same amount of property tax revenue as last year’s rate) for Volusia Forever, saying that while he thought it was a great program, the 75% of voters who passed the tax referendum in 2020 didn’t know the impact inflation would have on citizens today. Going to rollback for Volusia Forever would have meant a $5 monthly tax cut for the average citizen.

“Many people are starting to look at, ‘How do I afford to live?” Santiago said. “... Five dollars a month can mean a lot to someone else so we have to take that into account. Decisions can’t be born out of who spoke in front of us as a council.”

Several speakers at the council meeting belonged to civic and environmental organizations, includ-

ing the League of Women Voters of Volusia County and the Sierra Club.

Since Volusia Forever was created in 2000, about 38,000 acres of environmentally sensitive, water resource protection and outdoor recreation lands have been purchased by the county. The rollback rate would have brought in $962,894 less in ad valorem tax revenue to the program, going from an estimated $5.1 million to $4.6 million.

Councilman Troy Kent agreed with Santiago that there are a lot of people struggling financially in Volusia, but that he supported adopting the 0.2 mills for Volusia Forever and ECHO, which provides grant funds to finance acquisition, restoration, construction or improvement of projects to be used for environmental, cultural, historical and outdoor recreational purposes.

“I am of the belief that many of our voters want us to purchase as much environmentally sensitive land so that places like the Loop and future Loops are truly there for future gen-

erations to enjoy,” Kent said.

County Council Chair Jeff Brower said that a lot of the land that is purchased using Volusia Forever funds includes wetlands, making them some of the most important property in the county.

“This is an inexpensive way to protect those lands and help them to recover,” Brower said.

The County Council unanimously adopted a general fund millage rate of 3.958, which is 23.16% below rollback, mainly due to the separation of 1.4541 mills in the newly-created Public Safety fund. If added together, the millage rate for both of these funds is the same as last year’s general fund millage of 4.8499.

In addition to Volusia Forever and ECHO, two other funds — the Mosquito Control and Fire Rescue District — went adopted above rollback.

The council also unanimously adopted a total budget of approximately $1.4 billion.

12-unit residential subdivision OK’d The Ormond Beach Planning Board approved a preliminary plat on Thursday, Sept. 14, for 12 single-family lots on 26.17 acres, a subdivision to be known as Enclave of Timber Creek.

The subdivision proposed for 475 N. Tymber Creek Road will be made up of lots ranging from 1.7 acres to 2.75 acres with a width of 125 feet along North Tymber Creek Road, according to the Planning Board agenda documents. A previous 2006 development proposal rezoned the property to a Planned Residential Development. At that time, the commission approved a 35-lot subdivision for the property.

The Enclave subdivision will connect to city water but use septic systems for wastewater services.

National Night Out coming Oct. 3 The Ormond Beach Police Department is hosting its National Night Out event from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at Rockefeller Gardens, located at 25 Riverside Drive.

The family-friendly event will feature bounce houses, a petting zoo, vendors, giveaways, live music and free hot dogs.

“From a safety perspective, this has all the makings of disaster waiting to happen.”

SHELF LIFE New law makes it easier to remove books from school libraries.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

A total of 89 books were challenged in Volusia County Schools in the 2022-2023 school year, according to data released by the Florida Department of Education.

Two books were removed.

Ormond Beach parent Anna Hannon called the ratio of challenged books to removed books “the worst in the state by a landslide” in an email to Volusia County School Board members and school district officials.

“When I see these numbers, I see a quality measure — a quantitative measure of the partnership between VCS and the parents,” wrote Hannon, who is part of the Moms for Liberty Volusia Chapter, a parental rights organization.

In an interview with the Observer, Hannon said that various parents — including herself and chapter chair Jenifer Kelly — have been working with VCS on pulling books with inappropriate content off library shelves since April 2021.

“We felt like we were making progress, like we were being heard,” Hannon said.

“And to go through this yearand-a-half of book challenges and this entire exercise of the challenge process, and then only two of those being removed? It just doesn’t feel like they are listening to the parents or that they respect our opinions on the fact that these are obscene books.”

Hannon and other parents plan to speak on the issue at a Sept. 26 School Board meeting, hoping to get more books removed. They’re relying on Florida House Bill 1069 to get this accomplished. The bill, which went into effect on July 1, states, “Parents shall have the right to read passages from any material that is subject to an objection.” If the board denies a parent the right to read passages due to explicit or obscene content, “the school district shall discontinue the use of the material,” the new law states.

At a recent Indian River County School Board meeting, the local Moms for Liberty chapter was successful in removing 34 books after the school board chair stopped people from reading passages or placed a content warning on the speaker, according to Treasure Coast News.

Volusia County Schools said in a statement to the Observer that the new law doesn’t require a revision to the district’s current policy on media selection of print and non-print materials.

In previous meetings where speakers read aloud from book passages that contained explicit material, School Board Chair Jamie Haynes issued a disclaimer. When asked if this would continue to be the protocol, the district stated, “This is at the discretion of the School Board chair.”

Ormond Beach resident Sheila Zinkerman, of a state grassroots organization called Citizens for Truth and Justice in Education, said the strategy used at the Indian River County School Board meeting was wrong and based on “bad law.”

“They (the committees) are reviewing the book as a whole, and Moms for Liberty just pick out these sections and these passages,” Zinkerman said. “... You can’t make a decision based on one little section.”

OBJECTIONS QUESTIONED

The two titles removed from library shelves in VCS were “Flamer,” by Mike Curato and “Relish: My Life in the Kitchen,” by Lucy Knisley. The district’s list only mentions the removal of “Flamer.”

Kelly said “Flamer” was removed because the governor called out the school district for having the book during a press conference, and that “Relish” was removed by a principal and a media specialist at one school at her request.

“So neither one of those books through all the challenges that we put forth over the last year and a half were removed by the actual policy,” Kelly said.

The district stated the claim about “Flamer” was not accurate.

Zinkerman said CTJE has been tracking the objections and found that VCS has not been very transparent about the process with the public.

There were 89 reported objections, but the majority were resolved during school-based reviews.

“That’s what we were trying to find out: What happened to all these books?”

Zinkerman said. “And so it looks like the other removals happened during the informal school-level reviews, and it seems the district knew the outcome of these removals. ...

But it’s unclear why detailed outcomes of the removals didn’t appear on the recorded report.”

"I'd like to continue to work with [the district]. But I am going to take the path of least resistance to get the sexually explicit material out, and if it is reading it at the microphone to have the microphone cut, that's what we're going to have to do."

JENIFER KELLY, chapter chair, Moms for Liberty Volusia

VOLUSIA CHALLENGES According to a list by VCS, eighteen books went through the challenge process and were retained. The books were: “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson (Retained in high school libraries only) “The Black Flamingo” by Dean Atta (Retained in high school libraries only) “Burned” by Ellen Hopkins (Retained in high school libraries only) “Crank” by Ellen Hopkins (Retained in middle school and high school libraries) “Darius the Great Deserves Better” by Adib Khorra (Retained in high school libraries only) “Fade” by Lisa McMann (Retained in high school libraries only) “Glass” by Ellen Hopkins (Retained in high school libraries only) “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter” by Erika Sanchez (Retained in high school libraries only) “I’ll Give You The Sun” by Jandy Nelson (Retained in high school libraries only) “Laura Deen Keeps Breaking Up with Me” by Mariko Tamaki (Retained in high school libraries only) “Looking for Alaska” by John Green (Retained in high school libraries only) “Out of Darkness” by Ashley Hope Perez (Retained in “upper” high school libraries only) “Sold” by Patricia McCormick (Retained in middle school and high school libraries) “The Infinite Moment of Us”

by Lauren Myracle (Retained in high school libraries only) “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chobsky (Retained in high school libraries only) “TTFN” by Lauren Myracle (Retained in high school libraries only) “TTYL” by Lauren Myracle (Retained in high school libraries only) “YOLO” by Lauren Myracle (Retained in high school libraries only)

The process for challenged materials is critical, she added. The committees are made up of professionals who review the books as a whole, not in sections.

“A child sitting in school at a desk reading this book, even with these passages in it, is much different than somebody standing up in public, picking out a few sentences and just blurting them out to get what they want, which is to ban it,” Zinkerman said.

No challenges, according to the district, have been submitted for this school year.

IS THE PROCESS WORKING?

VCS states on its website that each school library media collection is developed in accordance with Volusia County School Board Policy 320.

The policy states that “the primary objective of the school’s educational media center is to implement, enrich, and support the educational

program of the school. The media center shall provide a wide range of materials in a variety of formats on all levels of difficulty, with diversity of appeal, and representing different points of view.

Materials are considered for their quality and appropriateness and must serve both the breadth of the curriculum and the need and interests of individual students.”

It states that the materials selected will also comply with Florida statutes, and outlines definitions of what constitutes “harmful materials,” “harmful to minors,” “obscene” and “sexuallyoriented material.”

The challenge process starts when an individual brings their objection to the principal of a school where the book is present. Then the complainant meets with the principal and school-based instructional personnel to discuss the objection. Then, according to the policy, if the objection is not resolved, it must be presented in writing on a form.

The appeals process begins at the school level with the school’s instructional review committee. If a resolution is not reached, then the material is reviewed by a district-level committee appointed by the superintendent.

After that, if the complainant still disagrees with the decision, he or she may file an appeal to the superintendent, and the school board will make the final decision.

It’s a long process and one that feels like it’s “designed to fail,” Hannon said.

“A parent would have to go through several different levels of the challenge process, and I just don’t think that any parent has that kind of time to continue to go through all these different levels,” she said.

CUT MIC, BANNED BOOK

Another reason Kelly said the School Board’s policy must be updated is that HB 1069 states that objections not resolved at the district level can now be reviewed by the State Board of Education.

“I’d like to continue to work with [the district],” Kelly said.

“But I am going to take the path of least resistance to get the sexually explicit material out, and if it is reading it at the microphone to have the microphone cut, that’s what we’re going to have to do.”

The process was working, which is why Moms for Liberty opposes it, Zinkerman said.

“The books were going back to where they were supposed to be, and that’s why they passed this [HB] 1069

FLAGLER CHALLENGES The Flagler County School District removed 11 books from its media centers in 2022-23 after 24 books were challenged.

The district weeded out eight of the titles. One book, “Sold” was appealed to the School Board and was retained by a 3-2 vote.

“Nowhere Girls” was approved by a district committee but was later removed by the superintendent.

The books removed were: “A Court of Mist and Fury” by Sarah J. Maas “Damsel” by Elana K. Arnold “Dreaming in Cuban” by Cristina Garcia “L8r, G8r” by Lauren Myracle “Lucky” by Marissa Stapley “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” by Jesse Andrews “Precious/Push” by Sapphire “The Haters” by Jesse Andrews “The Nowhere Girls” by Amy Reed “Tilt” by Ellen Hopkins “What Girls are Made Of”

law, because the process to go through review was working,” Zinkerman said.

This is about the students, she added.

“It’s not about banning books,” Zinkerman said. “It’s not about this culture war. It’s not about Moms for Liberty coming in and causing havoc on school board meetings. It’s about the wellbeing of students for the greater good, and when a chair on a school board defends that right, that’s the bottom line.”

There’s a misconception, Hannon said, when the public hears about “banned books” that Moms for Liberty is trying to remove classic literature, like “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. She also said they’re not targeting books that have LGBTQ or diverse representation.

“That just happens to be part of the book as well, but we are going after the sexually explicit books,” Hannon said. “So I don’t think it’s fair that people call us racist or homophobes due to trying to pull the sexually explicit books.”

"They (the committees) are reviewing the book as a whole, and Moms for Liberty just pick out these sections and these passages ... You can't make a decision based on one little section.”

Tomoka Oaks golf course development to be reviewed Tuesday As Tomoka Reserve heads into its third Planning Board hearing, local developers say they want a chance to tell their story.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

Tomoka Reserve — the proposed 272-home development for the former Tomoka Oaks Golf Course — will be heard for the third time by the Ormond Beach Planning Board on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

The board has continued the hearing twice. First, because board members said they had too many questions to be able to come to a decision, and then because the developers’ site plan was submitted too close to the second hearing for city staff to review in depth.

The Planning Board hearings come after Developers Carl Velie, Ray Barshay, Sheldon Rubin and Emily Rubin held a series of “pre-neighborhood meetings” in 2021 before holding the official neighborhood meetings — two of them — in February.

“We just want a chance to explain our story well,” Barshay said. “We’ve done a lot of detail, of specifics, engineering, and just haven’t been able to tell the story.”

And their story, he said, is that they’re planning to construct a project that will be beneficial to the community. He and Velie both live in Ormond Beach.

“We want a nice place for somebody to raise a family in the city of Ormond Beach,” Velie said.

Their project is coming before the Planning Board, which will meet at 6 p.m. at Calvary Christian Church, at 1687 W. Granada Blvd., with a staff’s recommendation for denial.

ONGOING APPLICATION DISPUTES

The site plan to be reviewed next week by the Planning Board proposes 272 single-family lots on the 147.94acre golf course land at 20 Tomoka

Oaks Blvd.

The development would have a 50-foot buffer, a 5-foot sidewalk along both sides of the subdivision, outdoor recreation areas, and improvements to the current diamond intersection at St. Andrews Drive and Tomoka Oaks Boulevard.

Developers have also proposed two types of lots: 60-foot by 120-foot lots in the interior of the subdivision, and 80-foot by 125-foot lots along the perimeter of the property.

Save for the types of lots — the site plan submitted prior to the Aug. 21 meeting included 90-foot-wide and 100-foot-wide lots — the updated plan is virtually the same.

Velie said that the last board meeting didn’t provide their team with much feedback, other than wanting to see fewer lots and a decreased density. The first site plan proposed 276 units with a density of 1.87 units per acre. The latest site plan proposed 272 with a density of 1.84 units per acre.

“So really, we’ve clarified some information,” he said. “We agreed to certain things that the staff asked for. ... Some minor changes in both the buffer, the light, the number of units went down four.”

City planning staff is recommending a denial of the project because of the lack of permanent irrigation and planting plan for the natural buffer as well as the lot sizes, according to the staff report. Staff states the perimeter lots should be at least 100-foot in width and span a total of 10,000 square feet of lot area.

‘THERE’S JUST TOO MANY HOMES’

Tomoka Oaks volunteer Homeowners Association will ask the board to turn down the development at the Sept. 26 hearing.

Tomoka Oaks resident Jim Rose, who chairs the homeowners’ association’s golf course committee, said that their main issue with the plan is the density.

“There’s just too many homes and that’s just going to cause too much traffic,” Rose said.

The lack of 100-foot lots in the

developers’ site plan is also an ongoing point of contention. The HOA wants Tomoka Oaks to stay a community, and any homes that are added should be compatible to the existing homes, Rose said. Driving down Clyde Morris and Williamson boulevards, new builds are all 60-footlots and 80-foot-lots, with houses constructed very close together.

“We just don’t want that,” Rose said. “We don’t think it’s indicative of what our community is, and they want to be Tomoka Reserve. That means they want to be part of Tomoka, so they should look like Tomoka and they should be like Tomoka.”

Barshay and Velie said their development won’t look like the subdivisions recently built on Clyde Morris Boulevard.

“Why wouldn’t we want to do something that will bring as much value to what we have — the land — as we can?” Barshay said.

The more expensive the homes, the more value the property has, Velie added. The market research done by the developers shows people don’t want larger lots — they’d rather put their money on the actual house.

“Us doing a project that DR Horton would be interested in, we would lose money,” Velie said. “... It’s not something we’re interested in at all.

We want the same thing.”

The houses they want to build would likely run $650,000 to $800,000.

The HOA is also concerned about the buffer. The developers’ proposal states their planting plan will work, and are suggesting a two-year maintenance bond as a contingency plan, but Rose said residents are still nervous. Plus, it takes time for vegetation to grow, so residents will see the Tomoka Reserve homes for a couple of years, at least.

“I think there’s just a lot of trepidation because nobody can tell the future,” Rose said. “It may well work out fine, I don’t know, but that’s the problem: Nobody knows.”

Barshay said they are keeping as many of the existing trees on the buffer as possible and match the natural vegetation, rather than build

a hedge. The city is asking for a “type 6” buffer, which is composed oof seven trees, 70 shrubs and 70 ground cover plants per 100 linear feet.

The developers are proposing five trees and 50 shrubs per 100 linear feet. Velie said the reduction would allow the trees — live oaks — to have room to grow their canopies, which can reach 60-100 feet in width.

The city’s proposal, he said, would only leave 15 feet between trees. The shrubs then won’t grow, Velie said, because there won’t be sunlight.

“It’s going to be a natural buffer that’s going to grow up and be there” Velie said. “We want that as well.”

GOLF COURSE’S ORIGINAL COVENANT

Tomoka Oaks Resident Carolyn Davis, who has led an independent effort to prevent the golf course’s development, said the development has become a “hot issue” not only for Tomoka Oaks, but for all of Ormond Beach.

“I think there’s an awful lot of eyes on what the Planning Board and the commission are ultimately going to decide,” Davis said.

Since June 2022, Davis has argued that the golf course can’t be legally developed because the property’s 1963 original covenant declared it to be used perpetually as a golf course.

Her attorney, Brent Spain, submitted an opinion citing case law to the Planning Board in July that supported her claim.

“There is nothing ambiguous about Mr. Spain’s opinion that residential development is restricted,” Davis wrote in her September newsletter. “Mr. Spain further outlines how the city’s legal conclusion is ‘misplaced’ because the documents relied upon in the city’s opinion do not actually release, waive or modify the perpetuity use.”

Both the city and the developers state the property can be developed.

The thought of what the houses will look like is the “furthest” from her mind, Davis told the Observer.

When she thinks about the development, she sees land stripped to dirt and displaced wildlife.

Developer Ray Barshay said they are keeping as many of the existing trees on the buffer as possible and match the natural vegetation.

“It is the concept of a whole, brand new neighborhood being shoved into the Tomoka Oaks neighborhood,” she said. “The concept to me is horrific.”

Davis is also a member of the voluntary Tomoka Oaks HOA. The HOA’s mitigation efforts, should the development end up in the courts, are needed as well, she said. But her priority is advocating for no development.

TRUSTING THE PROCESS

At the last board hearing, Barshay said he recalled one of the board members — Mike Scudiero — saying the development will likely end up in litigation.

“It shouldn’t,” Barshay said. “I think that’s a terrible perspective.”

He said their hope is that they are able to explain their development well enough to gain the board’s approval, and later the commission’s.

If the city wants something different, Velie said staff, the board and the commission needs to communicate that in specifics.

“I think we’ve got to the point where we feel like we’re negotiating against ourselves,” Velie said.

“Without the feedback from them of what they’re specifically looking for, we’re shooting in the dark.”

The development process has been long, and at times contentious, but the developers said they’re trying to trust the process.

“We’ve got to trust them just like the community’s got to trust us,” Barshay said. “I think that’s at the root of so much stuff. It’s emotional. It’s political. It’s all those things wrapped into one, but we’ve got to trust them just like we’re asking to be trusted too.”

Volusia County Schools assessing possible dangers of proposed fuel farm District staff will have an assessment ready for the School Board to review by its next meeting on Sept. 26.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

Will the Volusia County School Board take a stand against the proposed Belvedere Terminals fuel farm?

School Board member Carl Persis, who represents District 4, spoke about the fuel terminal during his closing comments of the board’s Sept. 12 meeting, saying he’d received many calls from residents asking the school district to

voice its opposition to the location of the project, which is about a mile away from the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. Since the community has been made aware of the project, Persis said, there have been “record-breaking attendance crowds” at County Council and Ormond Beach City Commission meetings as citizens voice opposition to the location of the facility.

Belvedere Terminals, a company based out of St. Petersburg, aims to build a 16-storage tank fuel farm at 874 Hull Road, which is expected to see about seven trucks an hour — or over 160 a day.

The Ormond Beach farm is part of Belvedere’s plan to build a $750 million multi-site fuel distribution system in the

state that “will offer Floridians safer, lower cost and more reliable delivery of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel,” according to a statement from the company. The company aims to build a hub in Mississippi that will load its product onto trains. These trains will then travel along existing rail lines to its planned spur locations in Florida.

Belvedere is currently working to develop three fuel spurs in Florida: One in Jacksonville, one in Ormond and one in Fort Pierce. Jacksonville is slated to be the first spur to be developed.

On Tuesday, Sept. 19, the company announced it planned to build seven additional spur locations in the state, for a total of 10 spurs to

be built within the next five years.

The property at 874 Hull Road is under county jurisdiction, being unincorporated land. It is zoned heavy industrial, and has been since Florida East Coast Railroad, which owns the land, pursued land use and zoning amendments in 2006. A site plan would be reviewed by Volusia County.

If Belvedere moves forward with its development, it would need to connect to Ormond Beach utilities, requiring annexation. That would come before the City Commission for approval.

“It isn’t our responsibility, but I think because of where it’s located, we have so many children around there that to me, it seems like the right

thing to do — the right course of action,” Persis said at the Sept. 12 School Board meeting.

Volusia County Schools also has a joint use agreement with the city for the sports complex.

“So there’s students on those fields all the time,” Persis said. “And Pine Trail Elementary is not far away, as well.”

VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said the district’s safety and security department, along with its operational division, is looking into the fuel farm issue and working on an assessment regarding the proposed location. The district will use that assessment to support a position on the matter in writing.

“It appears clear as day that there is a safety issue,” Balgobin said. “But I suggest that if we’re going to write a letter, that we have the backup to support it, and that’s what the team is gathering right now.”

District staff plans to have the assessment ready prior to the board’s next meeting on Sept. 26.

School Board members all agreed to support a letter of opposition. Board member Ruben Colon said that, while he typically stays away from political issues related to development, he was concerned about the fuel farm.

“I trust you and your understanding of your community,” he said to Persis. “... I do think that [the fuel farm] is a clear danger.”

VCS declares impasse with VUE Support Belvedere to build 10 fuel farms in Florida VUE President Elizabeth Albert says impasse was an ‘unnecessary and very disappointing step.’

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

After a third failed bargaining session over salary negotiations, Volusia County Schools declared an impasse with Volusia United Educators Support, a district press release announced Friday, Sept. 15.

The district presented VUE with a proposal that included a 2% average salary increase and longevity compensation beginning with employees that have worked for VCS for

five years or longer. VUE, in turn, proposed a 3% salary increase and compensation for both retention and longevity.

“This recurring expense is not sustainable and would have significant and material long term effects for all Volusia County Schools stakeholders,” the district press release states.

In a Facebook live video, VUE President Elizabeth Albert said the union believes the declaration of impasse was an “unnecessary and very disappointing step.”

“We’ve been here before,” Albert said in the video. “We will now shift gears and we will work with [the Florida Education Association] to develop our response to impasse.”

A declaration of impasse doesn’t mean VUE and VCS

cannot continue to talk. The district’s press release, however, states that it expedites the timeline, citing that a delay would negatively impact all support employees.

“The district’s bargaining team is committed to finding a solution that is the most equitable for our employees,” the district stated.

Albert said schools cannot run without support professionals.

“In the VUE family, our support professionals are just as important as everybody else and I need everyone to understand our commitment that we have to ensuring that paraprofessionals and office specialists in Volusia County Schools are recognized for every bit of the value they bring to the equation,” she said.

Despite opposition, Belvedere Terminals announced it would increase its investment in the state.

OBSERVER STAFF

Belvedere Terminals is planning to develop a total of 10 fuel terminals in the state of Florida.

The St. Petersburg-based company announced it is planning to invest about $750 million in the state in a news release on Tuesday, Sept. 19.

The company plans to develop its first three sites in Jacksonville, Ormond Beach and Ft. Pierce, and the news release states Belvedere officials are working with community

leaders in these areas. The sites are in the early stages of planning and development, the company stated.

The next seven locations will be developed in the state over the next five years.

“As a sixth generation Floridians myself, we are beyond excited to begin working to develop Belvedere Terminal’s locations in Florida and bring more than $750 million in capital investment with more than 200 jobs to the state,” Belvedere Terminals President Edwin Cothron said.

Florida currently has no in-state production of oil and gas, or its own gas pipeline, the news release states. Belvedere aims to improve the state’s supply chain by making the state “less reliant on port deliveries of fuel.”

“This new system for fuel

CHANGING

delivery will help lower gas prices for consumers and offer a safer and more dependable method for getting fuel into the state that is not subject to port shutdowns when a hurricane forms,” Cothron said.

“We are in communication with Florida state leaders and we are hopeful that our company’s mission will benefit Floridians by taking some fuel deliveries off of Florida’s unique and fragile waterways while strengthening the supply chain for fuel.”

Locally, Belvedere to build a 16-storage tank fuel farm at 874 Hull Road in unincorporated land near the Ormond Beach city limits.

Residents have been staunchly opposed to Belvedere’s proposal since becoming aware of the development.

NEIGHBORLY LOVE 7:39 p.m. — 600 block of 23rd Street South, Flagler Beach Criminal mischief, resisting an officer with violence.

Police officers arrested a 54-year-old Flagler Beach woman for throwing rocks and other items at her neighbor’s security cameras.

Officers have been called to the address multiple times because of the same woman throwing things or spraying water at the cameras, according to the woman’s arrest report. In this incident, the woman — who admitted to throwing objects at the cameras — threw shampoo bottles, a ceramic Mother Mary figurine, a bra and golfball-sized rocks.

The cameras recorded the whole incident and the rocks destroyed one camera. Officers tried to tell the woman she can’t throw things at the cameras, but she yelled and stomped around her yard.

As officers arrested her, the woman kicked two police officers in the legs multiple times, yelling at them to let her go.

NAP TIME 3:23 a.m. — Interstate 95

northbound Exit 293 offramp, Flagler County Refusing to sign citation, DUI. A man was found asleep in his SUV with urine on his clothes on the northbound I-95 Exit 293 off-ramp.

A Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to the scene to check out a potentially disabled vehicle, but found the man, 39, passed out in the driver’s seat with his genitals outside of his waistband and urine on his shorts and shirt.

The SUV was still on, and several open containers of alcohol were in the car, according to his arrest report.

The deputy woke the man up. The man told the deputy he’d parked there to sleep.

He admitted drinking about seven drinks and refused to perform a field sobriety test.

The deputy arrested the man and had his vehicle towed.

MACK THE KNIFE 3:02 p.m. — 300 block of North U.S. 1, Ormond Beach Loitering or prowling. Police arrested a 33-year-old Ormond Beach man who was seen walking near local businesses with a knife in his hand.

When the man spotted police cars, he tried to hide behind a business, according to his arrest report. He was seen walking into the bay of a nearby auto shop.

Police caught him in the middle of the bay and found he was carrying a folded pocket knife. The man told po-

lice that he was in the shop to get his car worked on, according to the report, and that he hadn’t committed any crimes.

He then told police that he went into the auto shop “to get water” and hadn’t tried to elude police. He said he was with his friend and that they were on their way home to go swimming, then fishing.

Police also found a knife stuck in a nearby tree. A witness later said that the man had been holding this knife when he tried to approach an elderly couple. The witness alerted the couple to the man’s presence and had them return to their car before the man could reach them.

The woman then took her mother’s phone and threw it from a fifth-story balcony, according to a police report.

Her mother went downstairs to collect it, then called police.

The woman refused to open her condo door for deputies, but deputies entered when her mother gave them a key.

The woman was arrested.

Man found guilty of killing his girlfriend

Charges filed after child left in room with dead man

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

A Palm Coast man charged with the fatal March 2021 shooting of his 22-year-old girlfriend has been found guilty of murder.

A six-person jury found Brenan Hill, 34, guilty on Sept.

15 of second-degree murder in the shooting of Savannah Gonzalez. The jury also found him guilty of aggravated battery and firing a weapon inside an occupied vehicle. Hill will be sentenced on Dec. 1.

Assistant State Attorney Melissa Clark told the jury in her closing arguments on Sept. 15 that Gonzalez hadn’t wanted Hill to own a gun because she was afraid he would kill her.

“Within a week of him obtaining that gun, he did exactly what she was afraid of,” Clark said. “He shot her out of anger.”

Judge Terence Perkins presided over the case. Closing arguments began Friday, Sept.

15, after three full days of witness and expert testimony.

The jury deliberated for two hours and forty minutes.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies had arrested Hill for the shooting in 2021.

Gonzalez was shot in the head while the two were in their car in a Publix parking lot.

Hill had initially told detectives that he and Gonzalez had been in their parked car together when someone approached from behind in an alleyway, asked to buy weed, then shot Gonzalez in the head. He changed his story multiple times and later admitted that he’d shot Gonzalez, but said the shooting was accidental.

Gonzalez died in November 2022. Hill pleaded not guilty to all three charges.

During closing arguments, Clark reviewed evidence and testimony and said it all pointed to Hill and his “web of lies.”

“He’s lied over and over and over again,” she said. “If this was truly an accident, why are we coming up with a new version?”

Defense attorney Gerald Bettman argued that the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the shooting wasn’t an accident or that Hill had a depraved mind, one of the standards for a seconddegree murder charge.

“It’s a terrible case of lying and cover up,” Bettman said.

“But there’s still reasonable doubt.”

Bettman argued that some evidence was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The state also did not show evidence of what happened inside the car, he said — just speculation.

“They have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt,” he said, “and it’s reasonable to believe that it was an accident.”

Clark said that there should be no doubt that the shooting was not an accident.

“He was angry. He was frustrated, and he lashed out,” she said. “And then he did everything he could do to try and hide the fact.”

In a press release, Sheriff Rick Staly said thanked everyone involved in the investigation and prosecution.

“Our investigative team became the voice of Savannah to get to the truth in this case,” Staly said. “While we can’t bring Savannah back, we hope this brings some closure for her family.”

A woman admitted to deputies that she and her friends had a threesome and did drugs in the room while her son slept.

A Palm Coast woman allegedly left her son in a room where a man died after using drugs and having a threesome while her son slept in the same

BRIEFS Cyclist dies after being struck by SUVs A Palm Coast cyclist was killed on County Road 302 at 6:55 a.m. on Sept. 15 when he was hit by two SUVs. The man, 51, who was not wearing a helmet or reflective gear, died at the scene, a Florida Highway Patrol report said.

The cyclist was going west on C.R. 302 in the westbound lane ahead of two SUVs. The first SUV hit the cyclist with its passenger side mirror, knocking the 51-yearold off the bike and into the westbound lane. The second SUV hit the cyclist as he lay in the lane, the report said.

Hammock Beach Resort fined over labor violations

The Hammock Beach Golf Resort and Spa violated labor protections by not providing a private space for an employee to pump breast milk and overworking its 14- and 15-yearold employees, according to

room.

Amy Kemper, 32, was arrested and charged with felony child neglect on Sept.

10 after Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Flagler County paramedics responded to a call at Hammock Beach Resort about an unresponsive man. Paramedics tried to revive the man but could not.

As FCSO deputies spoke to Kemper, she told them that she, the victim and several others drank and used cocaine and marijuana in the room the night before. She and a man

the U.S. Department of Labor.

The resort is being fined $6,800 in civil penalties, a press release from the Department of Labor said.

An investigation by the department found that it took the resort four months to find a place for a new mother to pump breast milk at work, the press release said. She was eventually offered the use of a manager’s office. That space was not private, and another worker at one point entered the room while the mother was attempting to pump milk.

The resort also issued a “written counseling” for the employee when she left her workplace without permission to find a private place to express breast milk.

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires employers to provide reasonable break time to express breast milk for one year after a child’s birth. Employees are entitled to a place “shielded from view and free from intrusion,” other than a bathroom, to do so.

The department also found that the resort employs eight 14- and 15-year-olds who were working more than the law allows.

had stayed the night with the victim in the hotel room to have a threesome, according to her arrest report.

Kemper’s 11-year-old son was in the hotel room the entire night, sleeping on a couch tucked partially into the closet, the arrest report said.

Kemper told deputies that she had hung a sheet to separate the couch from the bed during the threesome so her son would not see anything if he woke up.

Kemper and the other man left around 5 a.m., she said,

leaving Kemper’s son in the room with the unconscious victim, cocaine, and drug and sex paraphernalia.

She told deputies they thought their friend was “just sleeping it off.”

When they returned around 9:30 a.m., the victim was cold and unresponsive, Kemper said in the arrest report. The two called 911 and began chest compressions.

The son told deputies he had no idea what was happening until deputies arrived.

Man gets 35 years for murder

CRIME REPORT

A man charged with seconddegree murder in connection with a death during a home invasion in 2021 pleaded no contest and has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.

A Flagler County court sentenced Kwentel Moultrie, 24, for second-degree murder and armed burglary on Sept.

14. He was also sentenced in January to 10 years for sexual battery. He will serve the two sentences consecutively, a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office press release said.

The murder victim, 23-yearold Zaire Roberts, was working with Moultrie and Taylor Manjarres to steal drugs from a drug dealer in the R-section of Palm Coast, a 2022 FCSO press release said.

Roberts distracted the resident as Moultrie and Manjarres tried to steal drugs from the home. The resident shot Roberts in self-defense after Roberts shot him twice.

Manjarres, arrested alongside Moultrie with the same charges, pleaded guilty in May. She has not yet been sentenced.

Prank call leads to bomb search at Matanzas Matanzas High School received a prank phone call about a bomb threat on Sept. 18, prompting staff and Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies to search the school.

The search was out of “an abundance of caution,” and deputies did not find anything suspicious, according to an email sent to MHS parents from Principal Kristin Bozeman. The “swatting” prank call was phoned in to the school’s front office.

The school’s front gate was briefly locked during the search.

“We know the intention of these kinds of prank calls is to instill fear and interrupt our school operations,” Bozeman wrote in her email. “We are appreciative of the support of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in responding quickly to assist us in keeping our students and staff safe.”

What is true love?

410410-1

On a seemingly endless loop, each day blended into the next: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. The routine was repetitive, a relentless cycle that drained me from my existence. Seven days, 168 hours, essentially the same 24hour day on repeat - days that felt indistinguishable from one another. Yearning for a change, a better one.

Then, unexpectedly, they entered my life - injecting excitement into my mundane routine like a comet streaking through the night sky. Texting before class, during class, between class, and even after; I’d devoted my life to them. Was it worth my time? Laughter, tears, smiles, and endless conversations, we shared it all.

Suddenly, my schedule felt different, and I was no longer a prisoner of the ticking clock; and the time seemed to pause when I was with them – my "25th hour;" a moment dedicated to someone truly special.

Months passed, and our relationship began to slip away. Yet, I had always seen them as my "25th hour," an extra hour in a day that defied the laws of time.

However, the truth is, we all live within the same 24 hours, and in their 24, I didn't have a place. The realization was a sobering one, and I had allowed those precious hours to slip away, ignoring the world beyond our conversations. There we were, two strangers who hold many memories.

Historica h c l ea

Generally speaking, love is an essential element in the mixture of time. Some say the most heartfelt thing you can receive is someone's love; however, I believe that the best gift to give someone is the gift of your time because once it's given, you can never get it back. It’s the moments we share, the memories we create, and the hours we dedicate to each other that truly enrich our lives and relationships, leaving a lasting impact that love alone cannot match.

Amid this seemingly hopeless reality, I believed I'd found an escape, but that wasn't the case. I became overly dependent on them, neglecting myself.

Sleepless nights on calls replaced early bedtimes, and I started waking up late, skipping breakfast. School assignments, once a priority, slipped from my mind as thoughts of them consumed me. Not only did my mental well-being suffer, but the bonds with my friends began to disappear. They felt unheard, neglected, as I completely ignored them for this stranger who I thought held meaning towards me. Years of friendship seemed to evaporate before my eyes.

Provision Packs to hold Backpack Bash BRIEFS

Dune restoration work shifts north

Provision Packs is facing an $87,000 deficit next year, but founder Carrie Torres and her volunteers are continuing to work to feed children in need.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

For Provision Packs Founder Carrie Torres, the bottom line of her organization’s mission is to feed hungry children.

Since 2015, Provision Packs has upheld that mission, and though the nonprofit has no plans to stop anytime soon, the rising cost of food due to inflation has posed a significant challenge. Now feeding upwards of 850 children a week in 13 schools in Volusia and Flagler County, this year was the first since Torres founded Provision Packs where she was unable to expand services. Rising costs means rising need, but it also means a decrease in donations.

“It’s like this triple whammy that we’re trying to get through,” Torres said. “We’re trying to be able to combat the rise in cost while still being able to feed that need.”

Feeding America found that one in five children in 2020 lived in food insecure households. To close that gap, Provision Packs distributes nutritious food for children in financial need to have during the weekends and extended breaks throughout the school year.

Provision Packs’ biggest annual fundraiser, its Backpack Bash, will be held from 6-10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23, at Forever Ranch in Ormond Beach. The fundraiser features food from local restaurants, plus outdoor games, a silent auction and live music by local band Hayfire. Tickets cost $50 per person in advance and $60 at the door.

Provision Pack’s goal is to raise $70,000.

Currently, the nonprofit helps students from Beachside Elemen-

tary, Champions Elementary, Holly Hill K-8, Ormond Beach Elementary, Pathways Elementary, Pine Trail Elementary, Port Orange Elementary, Spruce Creek Elementary, Tomoka Elementary, Bunnell Elementary, imagine School at Town Center, Rymfire Elementary and Wadsworth Elementary. There are six schools, Torres said, that are waiting to get help from Provision Packs.

For the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, Provision Packs is looking at a food cost of $303,000 to cover 36 weeks of feeding 850 children per week. That averages to about $8 per bag, Torres said. In 2019, it used to cost Provision Packs $5 a bag per child. Peanut butter alone this year is costing them $10,000 more, she added.

Torres said she and her board are facing an $87,000 budget deficit next year.

“We plan one year in advance,” she said. “This also tells us how we can and cannot grow.”

Provision Packs doesn’t require schools to provide any statistical or analytical data to deem a child eligible to receive food. While that increases accessibility, it also means Provision Packs can’t qualify for

state funding.

That’s why fundraising is so important, Torres said. Changing Provision Packs’ model would mean some students would not receive food.

“We don’t want red tape,” she said.

“So a lot of it is we just keep going in faith.”

And it’s primarily the local businesses that keep them going, Torres said. The following restaurants are participating in the Backpack Bash: Fugu, Ormond Garage, 31 Supper Club, Riptides, The Grind, Mario’s, Avanu, Hulls Seafood, Rose Villa, Sovereign 63, SoNapa and Salty Pint.

“The small businesses in this community — they’re not only the backbone of the community, they are the backbone of this organization,” she said.

Torres said over 50 local businesses have helped make the Backpack Bash possible in its seventh year.

“It makes me feel humbled, because everybody is going through it,” Torres said. “So many of these (businesses) are restaurants — their costs are rising too, and there’s just a lot of organizations that love this community, and knowing that this is their home base, they want to serve the community that they’re in.”

Efforts on the FEMA emergency dune project are shifting to the section of coastline south of Marineland, including the areas of the Beach Haven and Matanzas Shores neighborhoods.

Starting Tuesday, Sept. 19, the work staging area moved to the River-to-Sea Preserve on the west side of State Road A1A, and trucks are accessing the beach on the north access road at Washington Oak Gardens State Park, according to a Flagler County government news release. Motorists should expect traffic delays and dump truck traffic on the roadways between Marineland and Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.

“They will start placing sand in front of the Beach Haven neighborhood access and work south to Washington Oaks Gardens State Park for approximately four weeks,” said Flagler County Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley WrenKey. “Then they will focus on the northern portion of the project.”

Efforts are being made in collaboration with the Town of Marineland to keep the beach parking lot open for events during the project, which is expected to be finished by midNovember.

The dune work, which is being done with post-Nicole emergency funds, will be consistent from Riverto-Sea Preserve to Beverly Beach.

This northern terminus completes the dune work for this year, where about six cubic yards of sand per foot will have been placed on the northern 11.6 miles of the coastline.

“The remaining FDEP and FEMA funds for beach and dune recovery will be spent on a larger beach nourishment project,” Wren-Key said. “It will go through a design and permitting phase.”

Old Salt Park has re-opened, and Jungle Hut Park should be open Wednesday or Thursday (Sept. 20 or 21).

“This work is critical for Flagler County, and we appreciate everyone’s continued patience,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito.

Bunnell solid waste fees increase by $12 Bunnell’s new solid waste services fee increase of $12 went into effect on Sept. 11.

Residents will now pay $32 per month instead of $20, for the same services. The only other significant change is that there will no longer be any free bulk pickups for household goods, a Bunnell press release said.

Instead, residents will be charged by the cubic yard for pickup. The Bunnell City Commission adopted the increase at its Aug. 28 meeting.

The fees were last changed in 2017 for residential services and 2018 for commercial services.

Airport joins disabilities program

Daytona Beach International Airport is striving to make air travel easier for people with hidden disabilities.

Travelers with brain injuries, hearing loss, memory loss, asthma, diabetes, or any number of other hidden disabilities that may not be outwardly noticeable to airport staff can now receive extra assistance through the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program, according to a press release.

The airport recently joined the Sunflower program, which has grown to include more than 220 airports worldwide, including nearly 100 in the United States, plus 12 airlines and a host of other businesses. This voluntary program for airport passengers identifies hidden disabilities by the green sunflower product they choose to wear.

While this program does not allow for special treatment or expedited service, it is an indication to airport staff that the passenger may require additional assistance.

By wearing a sunflower lanyard, badge, or pin, people can discreetly inform staff that they have a nonvisible disability and may need extra help, understanding, or just more time.

DAB offers complimentary Hidden Disabilities Sunflower items (a lanyard and ID card or pin) at information desks and at Airport Control, located on the first floor near the elevators.

Developers propose 977-unit community Permits drop; Palm Coast Developers on Sept. 6 presented a concept growth steady plan for the ‘East Shore at Ormond’ development.

A 977-unit residential development — to consist of apartments, single-family homes and townhomes — could soon be proposed for a 222-acre property at 1845 N. U.S. 1.

Developers met with the Ormond Beach Site Plan Review Committee on Wednesday, Sept. 6, and presented a concept plan for the “East Shore at Ormond” development, composed of 359 single-family lots measuring 40-50 feet wide, 294 townhome units and 324 multi-family units. The property is east of the Flagler County line in unincorporated Volusia land, near the Future Foods Enterprises manufacturing company. It abuts the Plantation Bay subdivision.

The property has a “lowdensity” land use, which allows eight units per acre, according to the meeting’s minutes. The property, made up of three commercial parcels, has three zonings: “Commercial” B-8, “Highway Tourist Commercial” B-7 and Planned Business Development. The developers would likely pursue a PBD rezoning process.

Though the land is in unincorporated Volusia County, it has city zoning districts because it is part of the city’s Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement Area with Volusia County. Annexation would eventually be required for connection to city utilities.

Planning Director Steven Spraker outlined several concerns with the project, one

Initial plans for the “East Shore at Ormond” include 359 singlefamily lots, 294 townhome units and 324 multi-family units.

being the proposed width of the townhomes. The developer — Cathay Financial Holdings — proposed 20-footwide townhomes. The city’s minimum width requirement is 24 feet.

The development would also impact 39 of the 73 acres of wetlands onsite. Spraker said that draws red flags for city staff.

“Thirty-nine acres of wetland impacts is a lot,” he said.

“It’s high from what we’ve seen in other developments and other subdivisions, and while you may have the technical right through your state agencies and federal agencies to do it, you are in a negotiated zoning district, and staff, Planning Board, commission may have concerns with that.”

The developers of the Ridgehaven subdivision, one of those most recently approved by the commission, reported about 8 acres of wetlands on the 84-acre property. The approved site plan impacted 1.75 acres of wetland.

City Planning Civil Engineer David Allen agreed with Spraker.

“The wetland impacts are significant, and it’s kind of discouraging to know that you’re going to go and wipe all that out,” he said.

Bill Lites, with Zev Cohen and Associates, said the

developers planned to use a mitigation bank to offset the wetland impacts.

“The value of the bank is higher than the value of the wetland impacts,” he said.

Spraker said wetland impacts would likely be discussed during public hearings as well.

“We’ve seen with other applications — Plantation Oaks, Tomoka Reserve — the Planning Board and commission are very concerned about site design,” Spraker said.

“Your lot size. Your parks.

Your wetland impacts.”

He added that he assumed the 977 units would be the “maximum development scenario” and advised the developers to think about how they would justify their impacts in a public hearing.

Lites said a wetland on the east side of the property was cleared in the past, so it wasn’t a “pristine, functional wetland,” but that he understood the hearing process would be more complicated if the developer didn’t try to avoid wetland impacts altogether.

This was a pre-application meeting. Once a site plan is submitted to the city, the development would need to hold a neighborhood meeting before being reviewed by the Planning Board and City Commission.

Despite a 37.5% decrease in residential building permits, an executive officer for the Flagler Home Builders Association doesn’t see reason for worry.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Over the last two years, the number of residential building permits issued by Palm Coast has decreased by almost 38%.

Data from the city of Palm Coast shows that in the summer of 2020, the city was issuing an average of 200 singlefamily and duplex residential building permits in a month.

That number has decreased to an average of 125 a month from August 2020 to July 2023.

In 2005 and 2006, Flagler County was the fastestgrowing county in the state.

Twenty years later, the county is still the fourth-fastest growing county, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The declining number of issued permits, at a glance, may lead some to believe the growth rate is slowing, but Annamaria Long, an executive officer for the Flagler Home Builders Association, said that isn’t necessarily the case.

For one, Palm Coast has an inventory of new construction builds now.

“We have more housing stock now than we did in 2021 and 2022,” she said. “There wasn’t a choice then but to build a new home.”

With more complete homes to purchase, fewer people are building their own homes, so fewer permits are issued.

Developments also tend to request individual residential permits in batches, Long said, which means that development tends to happen in waves: The developer or builder will request a batch of permits, receive them, build the homes and then request another batch.

The drop in permits is not significant enough to worry about, she said.

“What we’re seeing here is actually pretty healthy,” Long said. “What would make me very nervous is if I had really, really large numbers, because they’re not sustainable.”

Realtor Carl Lilavois, of Keller Williams Realty, said that despite the rise in property values in the last few years, Flagler is still one of the cheapest counties in Florida in which to buy a home — especially if a family is moving from a more expensive market.

“They’re selling their property for maybe $750,000,” Lilavois said. “And they’re able to purchase a really nice home here and either A, have more money leftover in the bank, or B, come here, still buy that nice property here, and use the leftover funds that they have to buy a secondary property or an investment.”

Greg Blosé, president and CEO of the Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce, said while residential growth may not be slowing down, Palm Coast and the county need to focus on bringing in businesses.

“We’re upside down on the percentage of our population, the residents paying taxes versus businesses,” Blosé said.

Blosé said some industries are drawn to an area by the number of rooftops: retail stores like Walmart, Target and Publix. And while those are good jobs too, he said, the city and county need to focus on highly skilled, high-paying jobs.

“We need to invest more in economic development programs in Flagler County,” Blosé said. “That’s how you get there.”

John Anderson Lodge delisted from National Register The John Anderson Lodge formed part of Ormond Beach history for 133 years.

Demolished in 2019, it’s now ‘vanished into the mists of time,’ local historian writes.

RANDY JAYE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The John Anderson Lodge was a nationally recognized historic landmark located at 71 Orchard Lane in Ormond Beach. It was built in 1886 for Ormond Beach promoter John Anderson (1853–1911), who originally settled in New Britain (now Ormond Beach) in 1876.

In the 1980 book “Ormond-OnThe-Halifax,” local author and historian Alice Strickland described John Anderson as, “…a man of such charm and strength of character, that even today, over a hundred years later, his influence has left an indelible mark on present-day Ormond Beach.” Anderson, along with busi-

ness partner Joseph Price, were the first proprietors of the illustrious Ormond Hotel, which opened on Jan. 1, 1888.

The lodge was a rare and historically significant structure, as it used palmetto log construction, and was built in the Adirondack Rustic architectural style. Palmetto logs are typically unsuitable for building construction because of the soft, fibrous consistency of the wood.

The designers of the lodge wanted to use native Florida materials in the context of the natural environment, and that is why palmetto logs were used. It was one of the last surviving structures from Anderson’s original Santa Lucia plantation.

The lodge originally provided quarters for construction workers engaged in the building of local infrastructure and the Ormond Hotel. After these construction projects were completed, it was used by Anderson’s friends, and rented to hunters and fishermen who preferred more rustic accommodations instead of the upscale and modern Ormond Hotel facility. During much

The lodge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Sept. 6, 1989.

of the 20th century it was used as a private home. Over the past couple of decades, the lodge fell into disrepair and became a decrepit and unsafe structure. Its roof had several holes and was leaking, the interior was rotting away and was infested with mold, the floor joists were weak and teeming with termites.

On Aug. 6, 2019, a demolition permit was issued by the city of Ormond Beach because the lodge’s overall condition was determined to be “beyond economical repair.” By the end of September 2019, the lodge was completely demolished and all of its debris were hauled away.

On October 4, 2019, the Volusia County Property Appraiser recorded the parcel at 71 Orchard Lane as vacant.

The lodge was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Sept. 6, 1989 due to its architectural and exploration/ settlement historical significance. It was also part of the multiple prop-

erty listing of the “Historic Winter Residences of Ormond Beach, 1878-1925.” Flagler Beach resident and historian Randy Jaye submitted a petition to delist the lodge from the NRHP in November 2022. After making its way through the approval process at Florida’s Division of Historic Resources, the petition was forwarded to the National Park Service in Washington, D.C. for a final decision.

On Aug. 22, 2023, the Keeper of the NRHP officially removed (delisted) the John Anderson Lodge from the NRHP. After standing for 133 years, the John Anderson Lodge became yet another example of a once impressive, nationally recognized, rare historic landmark that has been demolished and thereafter has vanished into the mists of time. Volusia County now has one less structure on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places.

City Commissioner Susan Persis: Not here, Belvedere!

Fuel farm proposal has ‘all the makings of disaster waiting to happen,’ writes City Commissioner Susan Persis.

SUSAN S. PERSIS ORMOND BEACH CITY COMMISSION, ZONE 3

Residents in Ormond Beach and the surrounding areas are correct to be concerned and frightened by the potential of Belvedere Terminals building a large fuel farm at our

LETTERS Public trust needed Dear Editor: The proposed fuel terminal has frightened and angered our community. Unprecedented numbers of residents have turned out at County Council and city commission meetings to voice their protests.

There can be no rationale for the Belvedere Company’s plan to locate

city’s border. While governmental agencies should carefully choose their legal battles, I am proud our city commission has directed the city attorney to use all necessary resources to formally object to the location of this massive fuel distribution center.

From a safety perspective, this has all the makings of disaster waiting to happen. The area where the fuel farm is proposed to be located is near large residential communities, Bear Creek Village and Ormond Lakes. Thousands of children are in proximity daily at Pine Trail Elementary School

and at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. The very busy Ormond Beach Municipal Airport is nearby, as are large businesses including the Security First Insurance headquarters, S.R. Perrott, a beverage wholesaler, and Halifax Paving.

Regarding traffic, the county will require a comprehensive traffic analysis. According to the initial reports, the traffic generated by the fuel distribution terminal is estimated to be seven trucks an hour in a 24-hour cycle, for an average of 160 trucks per day, every day. These trucks will be coming and going through the I-95 interchange on U.S. Highway 1. This interchange is the site where many accidents a year already occur.

Clearly, the applicant has many

hurdles to climb before this project can obtain final approval. I applaud the Volusia County School Board for announcing its opposition to the project’s location. The Volusia County Council and the Ormond City Commission have directed their county manager and city manager respectively, as well as their legal team to coordinate their efforts and fight this every step of the way.

Finally, I wish to commend the residents who have attended city and county meetings and made thoughtful suggestions to the elected bodies and the municipal staff members. We are all working together, and our collective message is clear: Not here – Belvedere!

a dangerous fuel farm which will transfer tens of millions of gallons of flammable petroleum products in the middle of the northern population center of Ormond Beach. The unimaginable scope of this operation is exponentially greater than the city vehicle fueling station and the airport fuel farm, so many of us were surprised when citizen Tim Grigsby and Zone 1 City Commissioner Lori Tolland first sounded the alarm in July, long before local newspapers reported shocking

details.

It’s unfortunate that some residents have directed anger, attacks, and threats at our City Commission. There has been no betrayal, no secret conspiracy to approve the fuel farm enterprise. The City Commission is our most effective and best hope to remove the threat, and the actions of our elected and appointed city officials to date have been proactive, creative, and persistent. We appreciate their professionalism in hearing the thoughts

of hostile speakers and developing strategies to navigate the overlapping jurisdictions of four levels of government, myriad government agencies, and a tone deaf corporation.

Our mayor and commissioners deserve our public trust and confidence. They will get us all home safely.

YOUR TOWN LIONS FOUNDATION RECEIVES GRANTS FROM FLORIDA DOG GUIDES

Following the death of Founder Arlene Dickenson, the nonprofit Florida Dog Guides For the Deaf, found itself unable to continue operation of its training facility in Bradendon.

The board of directors then decided to provide financial support and assistance to other nonprofits having purposes and goals like FDG, gifting a $10,000 grant to the Florida Lions Diabetic Retinopathy Association and a $10,000 grant to the Diabetes Awareness Foundation of Lions Multiple District 35.

These grant donations were both made in honor of Dickenson, whose work was her life’s dedication, according to a news release.

“We are humbled to receive the kind donation from the Florida Dog Guides for the Deaf Foundation, which will help to continue FDG

After a week or two of practices for my 8-year-old daughter Kennedy’s new softball team, the coach asked if anyone wanted to learn how to pitch. Ever so slightly, she raised her hand, volunteering — but in a way that seemed to say, “If I’m no good, don’t forget that I only barely cared.”

But there was more to the story.

Kennedy’s journey began more than a year ago, at the swimming pool. I was playing catch with my son with a foam ball, and it bounced away from us and skidded to a stop in front of Kennedy. I asked her to throw it back to me, and, without

hesitation, she threw a perfect strike across the pool.

“Whoa,” I said.

We tried to sign her up for softball last spring, but we were too late, so she played baseball instead, on a team of mostly boys. This fall, she’s on a true softball team for the first time.

After practicing in the 95-degree heat, watching her looking sweaty and bored in left field, I suggested she could try pitching. So we went to a park and tried it out one day.

Mostly, she rolled grounders in my direction.

I expected her to give up. Pitch-

ing had a lot of strikes against it, so to speak. Specifically, if you were going to mess up on a softball field, pitching was the most embarrassing way to do it. But something caught hold of her.

At the next practice, this week, she volunteered to pitch to a real catcher, in front of her peers, alongside a few other girls who wanted to learn.

All of her practice pitches bounced at least once before reaching the plate. But this is a fall instructional league, so she wasn’t alone. Everyone was trying to learn.

Hot and pink-faced, she approached me after the practice, as the rest of the team was leaving.

“Can we stay and pitch some more?” she asked.

Those pale green eyes, the frazzled hair — she was a picture of determination. How could I say no?

As the mosquitoes came out to dine, I crouched at home plate in the orange clay, and she stood tall, all alone on the field, under the lights, letting the ball fly in my direction, over and over again, regardless of the failed tries, preparing for some future game, when she will face her fears, and maybe, if the coach believes in her, become a pitcher.

To me, she’s already a star.

Diapers needed: Junior League of Daytona Beach holds diaper drive According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 1 in 2 U.S. families struggle with diaper need.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

Since 2014, the Junior League of Daytona Beach has distributed 600,000 diapers in Volusia and Flagler counties.

The Junior League currently operates the only diaper bank in both counties and partners with other nonprofit agencies — Halifax Urban

“I think that’s one of the stigmas that may be out there — that this is like a poor person’s problem or something, but it’s not true.

It’s just a human problem.”

RONI PEGEE, community director-elect of the Junior League

Ministries, Healthy Start Coalition and Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia, to name a few — to serve families in need.

This July, the Junior League saw its largest distribution: 11,283 diapers.

“The need is increasing and growing,” Junior League President Amie Story said. “We’ve had several partners reach out just in the last couple of weeks. We’re at the point where we have to put partners on a waitlist until we can get more supplies.”

Sept. 18-24 is National Diaper Need Awareness Week, and 17 local businesses are hosting diaper drives to benefit the Junior League’s diaper bank, which was founded in 2014.

According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 1 in 2 U.S. families struggle with diaper need. It costs a family, on average, about $80 for a month’s supply of diapers, which are not covered by food stamps.

The diaper drive will help the Junior League, an all-volunteer organization, continue to try to meet the local need. The Junior League spends over $10,000 a year of its fundraised dollars to purchase diapers for its bank, so community support, both monetary and through hosting drives, is

essential, Story said.

“Every dollar, every diaper, absolutely helps us to be able to fulfill our mission and fulfill the gap in our community,” she said.

Roni PeGee, community directorelect for the Junior League, said that the drives during National Diaper Need Awareness Week are especially important as the Junior League’s inventory dwindles.

“I think the need has probably always been there, but now that people are aware, they’re tapping into us,” PeGee said. “... Plenty of people live paycheck to paycheck, or under, and with everything else going up, diapers are going up too.”

The Junior League has a membership of 256 women. PeGee has been a member since 2014. Story has been

a member since 2015. A lot of their members are moms or grandmothers, Story said, and if they don’t have a child of their own, they likely have bought diapers for a baby shower and seen how expensive they can be.

“I don’t think a lot of people, until you’re in that moment, understand the financial burden that puts on a lot of families,” Story said.

What families look like these days also varies, PeGee added. They could be single-mother or singlefather households, or grandparents raising grandchildren on their fixed incomes.

“I think that’s one of the stigmas that may be out there — that this is like a poor person’s problem or something, but it’s not true,” PeGee said. “It’s just a human problem.”

From firefighter to ‘gentleman farmer’: PCFD lieutenant retires After 25 years on the force, Rich Cline only wants to hold two titles for the rest of his life: papa and gentleman farmer.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Rich Cline has been planning his retirement from the Palm Coast Fire Department for years now.

“I started kind of shedding jobs about five years ago,” Cline said.

To celebrate his retirement, he and his wife spent the first few days at Disney World. But after that, Cline and his wife packed up their home in Flagler County and moved to the mountains of Tennessee to be closer to their daughter, granddaughter and other family.

Cline spent the last 25 years working in Flagler County. He started

with the Flagler County Ambulance Service — back when the county had 25,000 people and only four ambulances, he said — then joined the PCFD in 1999.

He was one of the department’s first three paramedics and was promoted to lieutenant in 2008.

“Is it saving lives, or is it helping people?” Cline said. “The majority of the job, I mean — you don’t save lives every day as a firefighter. … It’s about helping, not the hero stuff.”

He has a lot of good memories from his time with the department, he said — and a lot of bad ones, too.

But he focuses on the good memories and the good relationships.

“It’s like the old saying, ‘When the rats and roaches are running out, we’re running in,’” Cline said. “We see things that normal people don’t see and shouldn’t see. And the good memories kind of make those go away a little bit.”

One of his best memories is when the PCFD’s Halloween horror house

— the Hall of Terror — drew more than 1,000 participants for the first time. Cline, alongside former Fire Chief Jerry Forte, created the nowannual Halloween event.

“We had like two kids come in to get candy from the first year,” Cline said. “And the last year that I participated in it, which was two years ago, we had a little under 5,000 come through in two nights.”

Forte has known Cline since before Cline joined the PCFD. He said the idea for the Hall of Terror came about when the two of them were sitting around the old fire station.

“Let’s face it,” Forte said, “a lot of ideas are created out of boredom.”

Forte and Cline built the Hall of Terror up to what it has become — a safe community event for scares and family fun.

Cline became the “Boo Master,” a title he later bestowed upon PCFD Lt. Dan Driscoll when Cline began shedding his job titles.

The Hall of Terror is where Cline

became close friends with Driscoll.

One of Driscoll’s favorite memories of Cline, Driscoll said, is of a training exercise in the middle of August where Driscoll soaked Cline with a hose.

“It always makes me laugh when I tell that story,” Driscoll said. “And he always laughs when I tell it now.”

Cline is just that type of man, Driscoll said — passionate and a team player. Cline and his wife will return to Flagler County in the spring to attend MegaCon with the Driscolls: The two couples have attended together for the last several years.

Driscoll said that if he had to describe Cline to a stranger, it would be as “a love-able oaf with Tigger energy.”

“He’s not one of those guys that ever grew older or grew stale,”

Driscoll said. “He’s just always one of those guys who stood up for what was right.”

Forte said Cline is one of those guys who will always have your back.

“He just has a big heart, and he wore it on his sleeve,” Forte said. “He deserves the opportunity to be near his granddaughter and be part of her of her life.”

Now, after a lifetime of service, Cline said he has traded in his multitude of titles to be with his family, sit on his porch and watch his grass grow.

“I’ve always had a title; I’ve always had an identity around the job I was in,” Cline said. “Now, the only title I have — as one of the guys told me the other day — is: papa and gentleman farmer.”

Bulow RV Resort residents seek county’s help as management pushes to evict them The RV park has told residents who have unpermitted structures — and haven’t removed them as ordered — to tear them down and leave.

JONATHAN SIMMONS MANAGING EDITOR

For over a year, the Flagler County government has warned the Bulow RV Resort that “permanent structures” on residents’ lots are a code violation. Now, the RV park’s management is ordering residents to remove those structures, and the residents are pleading with the county government to stop the park from forcing them out.

“We will have to pay thousands of dollars to get our homes torn down and hauled away and lose every dime we used to buy our homes,” one resident told county commissioners during the public comment period of a Sept. 18 commission meeting.

“There has to be some kind of moral responsibility” when displacing longtime residents, she added.

County commissioners expressed sympathy for the residents and said they wanted to gather more information.

“I think it’s it’s critically important

that we try to ... do what we can to assist,” County Commissioner Andy Dance said. “... If the code enforcement action is what’s instigating this, then if we give time and put that off until after the new year or something, we can maybe have further discussions with the owner on how to rectify their situation.”

A Bulow RV Resort lease shown to the Observer states that residents may occupy the park for only up to six months out of the year. “This Resort shall not be your permanent residence,” the lease states. Still, it became just that for some locals who have lived there continuously for years and now don’t know where they could go next if they’re forced to leave.

Bulow RV Resort spokeswoman Jennifer Ludovice wrote in a statement emailed to the Observer that county government staff notified the RV Resort in the fall of 2022 that some lot sites were in violation of county code.

The resort’s management contacted the “guests” at those sites on Nov. 18, 2022, she said, and told them that their sites must be brought into compliance with county code within 30 days.

“Since that time, we have repeatedly followed up with guests who have not brought their sites into compliance with the county’s requirements, informing them that if sites are not brought into com-

pliance, we will be unable to renew the guest’s lease,” Ludovice wrote.

“After allowing nearly 10 months to bring their sites into compliance, on Aug. 31, 2023, we notified certain guests whose sites remain noncompliant that their lease would not be renewed upon expiration on Oct. 1, 2023.”

She added, “We appreciate the efforts of those guests who worked over the last 10 months to bring their sites into compliance and regret that it has become necessary to not renew the leases of those who would not make the required alterations to become compliant with county regulations.”

One RV Resort resident speaking at the County Commission meeting confirmed that timeline, saying that she and others had been notified last November and then received a 30-day eviction notice on Aug. 31 telling them that they must tear the structures down and vacate by Oct. 1, 2023.

The three residents who spoke to commissioners said they can’t move their homes that soon.

“I’m asking you for your help and your assistance in at least giving us additional time,” one resident said.

“I have an RV park model. I can’t just hook it up to a truck. ... There’s logistics. I have to hire an electrician to disconnect the electric. I have to hire a plumber. I have to hire a transportation company to move this

property off ‘their dirt,’ as the attorney referred to it as. That takes time.”

One resident said the he’d bought his trailer from Bulow with the permanent structures attached.

“I bought a trailer, a park model, from Bulow, from the corporation, with additions, porches, everything there — and now they want to throw me out,” he said. “I have no money. I have nowhere to go. I’m on oxygen. ... What do we do? Do I get to be homeless? We all get to be homeless now? Is that what our county wants for us?”

The Bulow RV Resort’s written statement did not answer the Observer’s question about whether trailers had been sold to lot lessees with permanent structures already in place.

County Commissioner David Sullivan asked Sean Moylan, the deputy county attorney, about the county government’s communications with Bulow RV Resort about the code violation case.

Moylan said the county began code cases against the park landowner last fall because of concerns about safety.

“There were too many structures too close together, and it becomes a fire hazard,” Moylan said. “They asked for additional time — I believe it was till October — and I suppose that’s why it’s coming to a head.”

The county hasn’t heard much since then from the property owner, and has just been waiting to see if

the owner has brought the park into compliance, Moylan said.

“Certainly we have nothing to do with non-renewing of leases,” Moylan said. “... The county is has no role in that or jurisdiction — would never ask them to do such a thing.”

Commissioner David Sullivan said he wanted to be cautious about making statements. But, he said, “It just seems like a terrible situation.

We don’t want people thrown out of their houses.”

Commissioner Leann Pennington implored the county administration to work with the RV Resort’s management to find a solution for the residents.

“We summoned the wind, and now they’re reaping the whirlwind of it,” she said. “So I would, I would hope that for your [residents’] benefit, that things are resolved amicably, and I feel horrible that you’re facing this at this time.”

Moylan said the county administration was “never out to punish anybody” and had reached out to the landowner that afternoon to start a conversation.

“We just want to make sure that the structures are not in a dangerous position,” Moylan said. “... Certainly we will ask them to please not throw people on the street because of this.”

YOUR NEIGHBORS The coast is clean Volunteers participate in annual International Coastal Cleanup event.

SUZANNE McCARTHY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

O

cean Conservancy’s 38th International Coastal Cleanup was held Saturday, Sept. 16, with more than 20 locations up and down local beaches.

Volusia County’s Environmental Management Division hosted the local effort in Volusia County, where volunteers collected trash along the coast and local rivers.

Ocean Conservancy’s cleanup event has grown to include more than 150 countries. Locally, volunteers filled contractor trash bags with debris, including hubcaps, propane tanks, dishes, refrigerant parts, and a car’s side mirror. Volunteers at Tomoka State Park collected 915 pounds of trash, according to Dream Green Volusia.

Ormond Beach resident Martina Wasdin, a Volusia County International Coastal Cleanup site coordinator, organized volunteers at Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park in Ormond-by-the-Sea. “This is our home,” she said. “We live here, and every single day, I want to come and see this. ... People are very active, and they are happy to participate.”

She was joined by her husband, Scott Wasdin, and daughter Lindsey Kauffman.

“We like doing our thing for our beaches and our parks,” Martina Wasdin said.

Thirty-nine volunteers participated at the Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park location.

In Flagler County, the county’s Land Management staff supported a cleanup in Marineland, hosted by the University of Florida and the GuanaTolomato-Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve.

“I am happy to be participating and picking up trash,” Public Lands & Natural Resource Manager Michael Lagasse said, according to a Flagler

County news release. “The International Coastal Cleanup engages people from around the world to remove trash from the world’s beaches and waterways, and it’s great to be a part of that.”

Flagler Beach residents took part in a cleanup event organized by the Flagler Beach All-Stars along the stretch of beach near the city’s pier.

“Personally, what I have been seeing the most of on the beach have been the rubber bands for hair ties,” said the All-Stars’ Carla Cline.

“That’s like the new straw, I guess.

And then, obviously, the cigarette butts.”

The All-Stars have been organizing beach cleanups for about eight years.

Scott Wasdin takes out the trash at the Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park location of the International Coastal Cleanup.

Flagler Beach Mayor Suzie Johnston took part in the All-Stars cleanup and noted that the Matanzas High School National Honor Society and Students Working Against Tobacco participated, earning volunteer hours.

Attendees recorded their finds on Ocean Conservancy’s Clean Swell App, she said.

Because the tide was high during the cleanup, they found more regular litter than washup trash, she said.

“It was great,” she said. “As long as people are happy to show up, I’m happy, and people always show up with a really great attitude.”

THE FINE ARTS “BUT I TOLD HER THIS WOULD HAPPEN.” Daytona Beach artist Beau Wild loves to sit in cafes. She said stories tend to unfold right before her eyes.

“As long as I remember, I was an observer and now an eyewitness,” she said in a statement.

“Why do people do what they do? What motivates their actions and reactions, what makes us all ‘tick’? Body language says so much more than words.”

Many of her café paintings, dating back to 1988, are on show at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum in Wild’s exhibition titled, “Observation Stories: The Wild Years.”

Wild, a non-objective and figurative artist, has shown her work in nationwide art festivals, competitions and museums. Today, she paints daily in her studio at 5960 Riverside Drive in Port Orange.

The show at OMAM runs through Oct. 15.

SPORTS “He's so determined, he's so physical. He's got a low center of gravity and he's got tree trunks for legs. You can hit him as hard as you want to, but you got to wrap him up and you're going to need help.”

DANIEL FISH, FPC football coach, on tackling Marcus Mitchell

Marcus Mitchell (4) rushed for nearly 300 yards against Matanzas.

Full spud ahead Mitchell’s 288 yards, four touchdowns are no small Potatoes in FPC’s victory.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

M

arcus Mitchell sat on the bench with a huge smile on his face.

The scene was typical.

Mitchell is almost always beaming from ear to ear. But this moment was special.

Flagler Palm Coast High School’s junior running back had just scored his fourth touchdown of the night, and Mitchell’s teammates were putting their finishing touches on a 28-9 victory over county rival Matanzas on Sept. 15 at the Pirates’ stadium in the annual Potato Bowl game.

A capacity crowd in both the Matanzas home stands and the FPC side across the field witnessed Mitchell’s dominating performance.

The 5-foot-8, 225-pound bruising runner ran over, around and through the Pirates’ defense on the way to 288 yards rushing on 25 carries. His final touchdown, a 44-yard run with 8:28

left in the game, took out whatever wind was left in the Pirates’ sails.

“You just can’t bring Marcus down with one person,” FPC coach Daniel Fish said. “He’s so determined, he’s so physical. He’s got a low center of gravity and he’s got tree trunks for legs. You can hit him as hard as you want to, but you got to wrap him up and you’re going to need help along with that as well.”

Mitchell has 527 yards rushing in three games, which is more than half his rushing total of 1,025 yards last season.

“We all worked hard as a team,” Mitchell said. “I wouldn’t have done it without the O-line, without the defense getting stops. But it feels great to have a breakout game like this.”

It was the Bulldogs’ 12th victory in 15 meetings with the Pirates.

FPC improved to 2-1 after losing its season opener at Live Oak Suwannee.

Matanzas, also 2-1, lost its first game of the season after opening with wins at South Lake and Tocoi Creek.

“I still firmly believe we got a really good football team,” Matanzas coach Matt Forrest said. “I think that was a really good football team we played tonight. It’s a hard pill to swallow. It’s rivalry game. It means a lot to these kids, this community, but we’ve got to move forward.”

The Pirates couldn’t overcome mistakes and turnovers. A Matanzas personal foul on an FPC punt kept the Bulldogs’ opening drive alive, and Mitchell followed a 20-yard run with a 4-yard scamper for his first touchdown of the night.

Matanzas then fumbled on its first possession, with FPC defensive end Colby Cronk recovering at the Pirates’ 31. Five plays later, Mitchell scored on a 21-yard run and the Bulldogs led 14-0 with 4:09 left in the first quarter.

“We had a good game plan,” Matanzas senior Cole Hash said.

“We came into it knowing we had a chance to win, but we had too many mistakes and they had too many big plays, and we just couldn’t rebound.

So much momentum was on their side that we couldn’t reel it back in.”

Matanzas appeared to score early in the second quarter on a 28-yard pass from Dakwon Evans to Daniel DeFalco, but the touchdown was called back because of holding. Hash then caught a 30-yard pass to set up a fourth-and-1 at the 10. But FPC middle linebacker Zaiden Greene tackled Hash for no gain to force a turnover on downs.

The Pirates get on the board with a safety on the first play of the second quarter when an FPC punt snap sailed over punter Chase Magee’s head. But the Bulldogs added another score before halftime on Mitchell’s 1-yard run to make it 21-2.

caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from Dakwon Evans with 8:07 left in the third quarter. Andrews caught a short pass and broke several tackles to get into the end zone.

Matanzas drove to the FPC 9-yardline on its next possession, but its chance of making it a one-possession game ended when Greene tipped a pass to himself for an interception.

Fish said Greene, a sophomore who moved in during the spring, earned the starting middle linebacker spot after starting spring practice on JV. “I just heard him putting his pads on people every practice, so I was like, let’s give this kid a try,” Fish said. “He doesn’t shy away. He’s not scared of

anybody.”

A trick-play pass by Hash on the first play of the fourth quarter was intercepted by FPC cornerback Aiden Peterson, setting up Mitchell’s fourth touchdown.

The Bulldogs rushed for 337 yards.

Quarterback Caden Gonzalez added 117 yards passing. Evans passed for 152 yards and rushed for 77 yards for Matanzas. Cronk had two sacks for the Bulldogs.

“It was a game of two teams battling hard and at the end of the day, the one that made the most plays won.

And they deserved that,” Forrest said.

“I feel our relays are going to do very well, both the boys and girls,” Fabulich said. “They’re able to do everything, which is nice, but we have to pick two relays between the 200 medley, the 200 freestyle or the 400 freestyle.”
