Planning Board meeting make-up

Since the Planning Board meeting originally scheduled for Nov. 10 was postponed due to Hurricane Nicole, the board will meet at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5.

The board will discuss five items related to a proposed 137-room hotel and 15-home project at 251 S. Atlantic Ave. and 264 S. Atlantic Ave.

The developer, Ormond Beach Holdings LLC, has requested a development order, two zoning map amendments, a comprehensive land use amendment and approval of a preliminary plat.

The five-story hotel is planned to cover 95,700 square feet on 2.19 acres of oceanfront land. The 15 residential homes across the street, if approved, will occupy 3.49 acres of the former Florida Hospital Oceanside site. The hospital was demolished in 2019.

The proposed 15-home community along Valencia Drive will be known as “Tide’s Edge at Ormond Beach.”

The developer plans to construct 108 parking spaces next to the hotel east of A1A, and an additional 62 spaces across the street. The hotel is planned to be a Marriott Residence Inn.

FDOT reopens A1A after storm repairs

After three days of emergency repairs, all sections of State Road

A1A impacted by Hurricane Nicole reopened on Saturday, Nov. 12.

The local sections of road — one of which was located in Ormondby-the-Sea — had sustained signif icant erosion due to the storm. The impacted areas were:

„ A1A fro m South 28th Street to South Seventh Street in Flagler Beach

„ A1A from Highbridge Road in Volusia County to South/Central Flagler Beach in Flagler County

„ A1A from Wisteria Drive to Sunny Beach Drive in Ormond by the Sea.

FDOT filled the damaged areas of the roadway using thousands of cubic yards of granular fill, FDOT

spokesperson Cindi Lane said in an email last week.

Crews used nearly 11,000 cubic yards of sand — over 600 truckloads — for the repairs, according to a Nov. 12 press release by FDOT.

“FDOT has completed emergen cy repairs on the last three stormdamaged sections of S.R. A1A, and reopened the roadway after only three days of work,” Gov. Ron DeSan tis said in the press release. “FDOT crews have been working to complete repairs in a couple of days that would normally take much longer.”

The press release states that the storm conditions “significantly damaged the scenic highway by washing out nearby dunes, eating into the shoulder, and undermining

the roadway in scattered portions of the road throughout these three counties.”

Repairs were also made to A1A in St. Johns County.

“FDOT’s goal was to get the road way accessible again as quickly as possible, which was made possible under the leadership and support of Gov. DeSantis,” FDOT Secretary Jared Perdue said. “FDOT continues to work diligently to serve Florida’s residents and ensure that the state’s impacted infrastructure is open and available to the traveling public.”

FDOT also cleared sand and debris from 14 miles of A1A in Volusia and Flagler counties, according to the press release.

City to discuss storm damages

Ormond Beach city staff will provide an update on impacts from Hurricane Nicole at the next commission meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

The commission meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, was an organizational meeting to swear in the new commission.

“I just want to make it clear that we’re not blind to the fact that we’ve all just gone through a difficult time, and really came through it quite well as a city thanks to our staff and prior commissions,” Mayor Bill Partington said.

Deadline for city’s parade nears

Those seeking to take part in the city’s 31st-annual Home for the Holidays parade on Dec. 10 should submit their entry forms by Monday, Nov. 21.

This year’s parade theme is “Christmas on the Coast.” There will be a tree lighting at 6 p.m. at City Hall, followed by the parade at 6:30 p.m.

The number of parade entries is limited.

Ormond Beach has a new City Com mission.

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, Mayor Bill Partington and city commissioners Lori Tolland, Travis Sargent, Susan Persis and Harold Briley were sworn into office by Volusia County Judge Bryan Feigenbaum as dozens of their family members and friends watched from the seats of the City Commis sion chambers. Three of them — Tolland, Sargent and Briley — are new to the commission.

“I’ve heard from so many people in our community who are so excited about this commission — a fresh new commission, with fresh ideas and the stamp of the vote of the people,” said Partington, who was reelected for a fourth term as mayor. “Moving for ward is an exciting time to be a resi dent of Ormond Beach.”

Partington said he looked forward to working with the new commis sioners. He added that it was encour aging to see the support in the audi ence — daunting, too, he said, since there is a lot of work to do at the city in the near future.

During the meeting, Briley was also sworn in as deputy mayor after being nominated for the position by Tolland, who later asked the com mission to consider rotating the position on an annual basis to give each commissioner a chance to serve in that role. Currently, a commis sioner who is voted to serve as dep uty mayor does so for the duration of his or her two-year term.

Briley said he was shocked to be

Pledged to serve

nominated as deputy mayor, and that it was an honor to serve. He thanked former commissioners — several of whom were in the audience — for their contributions.

“You all have been great stewards of our city, and we can only hope to carry on with the vision,” Briley said.

Tolland said she’s looking forward to serving on the commission and working alongside city staff.

“I pledge to work hard and give my best, to be available to those that I serve and advocate for a beautiful community,” Tolland said.

The real work begins now, Sargent said.

“My pledge remains the same — to bring transparent, honest and commonsense leadership to make Ormond Beach city government

People should stay away from the beach

Volusia County officials are asking for everyone’s help to spread this message: Stay away from the beach.

After Hurricane Nicole, the beach remains the most prominent safety threat to people in Volusia County.

The ocean holds debris and con taminants. Coastal structures such as piers and walkways have also been compromised by Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Nicole. Officials are working to examine the structures’ integrity.

Even though a structure may not look damaged, it may have under lying problems that could lead to collapse.

$522 MILLION IN DAMAGES

The Volusia County Property Ap praiser has submitted initial damage assessment report for Hurricane Nicole. The dollar figure is over $522 million, already eclipsing Hurricane Ian’s damage of $377 million.

Individual city totals as of Satur day, Nov. 12, were:

„ Daytona Beach Shores: $370.3 million

„ New Smyrna Beach: $51.1 million

„ Daytona Beach: $50 million

„ Unincorporated areas: $5.5 mil lion

„ Ponce Inlet: $2.6 million

„ Port Orange: $1.3 million

„ Holly Hill: $452,676

As assessments continue, addi tional buildings and properties may be deemed unsafe. Residents and visitors may contact the local build ing official’s office to determine if a structure is safe.

Hurricane Nicole batters the beachside

Damage assessments are ongoing. In Ormond-bythe-Sea, FDOT performed emergency repairs to a section of A1A.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

Volusia officials continue to assess damage to structures along the coast after Hurricane Nicole.

Bridges to the beachside reopened to all on Friday, Nov. 11, but the coun ty has asked people not to use piers, walkways or other beach structures: They may collapse without notice, even if there are no signs of damage, according to a county press release. Some areas of Atlantic Avenue in Wilbur-by-the-Sea and Dayto na Beach Shores are off-limits to the public due to ongoing damage assessment and recovery.

In Ormond Beach, Andy Romano Beachfront Park is closed due to damage. The Milsap Road beach approach north of the park shows signs of erosion. The Cardinal Drive beach approach also sustained sig nificant damage.

Damage assessment teams from the county and municipalities are evaluating and surveying structures Floodwaters

damaged by the storm, according to Volusia County Community Infor mation Director Kevin Captain.

As of Monday, Nov. 14, officials reported that 496 structures had been damaged in the county, accord ing to data from the Volusia County Property Appraiser. Total damage has been assessed at over $522.8 million.

These include 229 single-family homes, 216 commercial buildings, 30 condominiums, 14 duplexes, three government buildings, three mul tifamily buildings and one mobile home, according to a county press release.

As county assessments continue, there may be additional buildings and properties that may be deemed unsafe. Residents may contatct he local building official’s office to determine if a structure is safe.

So far, no structures in Ormond Beach have been deemed unsafe.

Because of the state of emergency declared for Nicole, which made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in Florida, the county announced in a press release that residents who own damaged or destroyed coastal struc tures, or ones that are threatened by erosion, may access the beach though approved vehicle ramps to survey damage and remove debris.

COPS CORNER

NOV. 4 JAYWALKER 8:22 p.m. — Intersection of Lincoln Avenue and North Yonge Street, Ormond Beach Possession of fentanyl. An officer was driving south bound on North Yonge Street when a pedestrian stepped directly into the path of his patrol vehicle. The officer was able to brake in time to avoid hitting him, and as the pedes trian — a 24-year-old DeLand man — was not in a marked crosswalk, the officer asked him to approach him.

According to a police re port, the officer explained to the man that the officer could have hit him with his patrol vehicle, and the man apolo gized. The officer wrote him a warning for the pedestrian violation.

The officer then discovered that the man had been previ ously arrested on narcotics charges. The officer asked him if he had anything illegal in his backpack, and the man admitted to having narcot ics paraphernalia. The officer asked what it was, and the man said he just wanted to go home, the report states.

The officer searched his backpack and found less than a gram of fen tanyl, as well as syringes and other drug para phernalia. The man said the fentanyl was not his. He was arrested and taken to jail.

NOV. 6 TRAIL ERROR 6:11 p.m. — 700 block of Air port Road, Ormond Beach

Information. Police responded to a local park after a man in a Jeep got stuck while attempting to drive down a mountain bike trail.

According to an incident report, the 43-year-old Ormond Beach man told police that he had just finished building the Jeep and thought the trail was open for utility vehicles. He didn’t realize it was a moun tain bike trail. The reporting officer noted that the Jeep was stuck in the mud with a tree lodged in its front right bumper.

The man had attempted to remove his vehicle but broke the Jeep’s winch in the process, sinking the ve hicle in the mud.

Eventually, the man was able to get the winch working, the report states, and safely removed the Jeep from the trail.

8:14 p.m. — 1200 block of Palm Harbor Parkway, Palm Coast DUI, property damage. A woman entering a gas station struck the front end of a truck, causing around $5,000 in dam age, according to an arrest report. The woman was suspected of having been drink ing, so an officer was called for the potential DUI.

The woman said the other car had hit her. When asked, she said she’d only had one beer two hours before the incident. The offi cer said in his report that the woman smelled of alcohol.

The woman refused to per form any field sobriety tests, the report said, but eventually consented to a breath test — after the officer explained three times what implied con sent was. Her blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit. She was arrested and taken to jail.

Girls vandalize foam business, cause $350,000 in damage

Three girls ages 12 and 13 vandal ized an Ormond Beach business on Nov. 10, causing at least $350,000 in damage by slashing bags of poly styrene material, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

The girls have been charged with criminal mischief and burglary of a business.

Because Volusia County was un der a state of emergency at the time, the girls’ charges were enhanced to second-degree felonies.

According to an incident report from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, an employee of Imperial Foam and Insulation at 2360 Old Tomoka Road entered the warehouse at around 2:27 p.m. and noticed spray paint on a foam log inside the building.

She heard noises coming from further inside, and soon saw three

When the employee entered the warehouse after law enforce ment arrived, she saw that multiple bags of raw polystyrene had been slashed, the material spilling onto the floor.

Fork lifts had also been moved and crashed into products.

Between 120 and 150 bags were slashed, and each bag cost between $2,000 and $2,500. A speaker was also smashed, there was food thrown on the floor and multiple items in the warehouse were spray painted, the incident report states. Two of the girls had spray-painted their names onto foam blocks, ac cording to the VSO.

When patrol deputies arrived at the scene, the man was identified as Clint Ingram. He told deputies his son, Luke, had attacked him, and that his father was on the floor at 34 Clermont Court, bleeding.

Clint Ingram believed that Luke was outside looking for him, the report said.

The deputies entered 34 Cler mont Court and saw Luke Ingram standing over an unresponsive man, later identified as Darwin Ingram, according to the report.

Deputies told Luke Ingram to exit the home, and he complied.

The order declared Mody incom petent to stand trial for second-de gree murder due to major neuro cognitive disorder, also known as dementia.

Mody was released from invol untary hospitalization, since he no longer meets the criteria to be held legally.

“It’s a very sad situation,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved, especially the victim’s family. I continue to en courage anyone who wants to send family members to an assisted living care facility to do their research and ensure the safety of that family member before they move in.”

Clint Ingram told deputies that he had convinced his son to visit them from college in Georgia on Nov. 8 because Luke Ingram was acting strange. During dinner that night, Clint Ingram said, his son just stared at him and his father, the report said.

When Clint Ingram went to bed, he locked his door because of Luke Ingram’s behavior.

But he awoke to “a growl-like sound and screaming,” and found his father bloody and unconscious on the living room floor, the report said.

Clint Ingram tried to call 911, but Luke Ingram attacked him and tried to put him in a choke hold twice, the report said. Clint Ingram escaped

Fugitive arrested for threatening to kill law enforcement

Flagler County deputies arrested a 32-year-old fugitive on Nov. 8 after locals reported the man for suspi cious behavior.

The man, a resident of North Carolina, had a fugitive arrest war rant for threats made against the Moore County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina in December 2021, according to an FCSO news release.

On Nov. 8, someone called the Sheriff’s Office and reported see ing a man behind the businesses in European Village, walking along the tree line and burning unknown items.

Deputies found the man standing along the wood line with a halfmelted candle in his pocket. He told them he was engaging in a “black magic” ritual using the candle.

Deputies confirmed his identity and arrested him for the North Caro

and ran down the road, knocking on doors for help.

Luke Ingram was taken to Adven tHealthPalm Coast, and then the State Attorney’s Office at the Flagler County courthouse.

An SAO detective and a SAO Homicide Investigative Unit inves tigator tried to search for evidence on Ingram’s person and take a blood sample to test for prescribed or ille gal substances. Ingram tried to flee, asking, “Who did I kill?” and “Who did I almost kill?”

Multiple deputies struggled with Ingram, who bit one detective twice, puncturing skin, and threatened multiple times to kill them. The deputy has received medical care and will recover, the press release said. Luke Ingram is now at the county jail on no bond. The FCSO Major Case Unit is still investigating, the press release said, but detectives do not believe anyone else was involved in the attack.

He resisted, and was also charged with resisting an officer without violence and being a fugitive from justice. He is awaiting extradition to North Carolina.

Deputies arrest Maryland man for violating court order

A 36-year-old man from Frederick, Maryland, was arrested by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies on Nov. 8 for an outstanding warrant.

Deputies had noticed the man’s car parked in a travel lane of the parking lot of Wells Fargo located at 1050 Palm Coast Parkway, accord ing to an FCSO news release.

When they spoke with the man and confirmed his identity, they discovered that he had a warrant for violation of a court order from the Anne Arundel County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland.

Deputies took him to the county jail. He will be extradited to Maryland.

Suspect Luke Ingram is accused of murdering his grandfather and attacking his father, according to detectives.

JU offers 1-year nursing program in Palm Coast

Jacksonville University’s new accelerated bachelor’s program will begin in January.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Jacksonville University began an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program last year. Starting in January, JU will also offer the program at its Palm Coast location in Town Center.

The program allows stu dents to earn a bachelor of science in nursing degree in 12 months.

In a news release, JU Presi dent Tim Cost said, “Jack sonville University is proud to expand this highly soughtafter program, which has been extremely successful in Jacksonville and has served as a groundbreaking model for nursing education in our state. The demand for welleducated, quality nurses per sists nationwide in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Jacksonville University is committed to bringing inno vative solutions to address this urgent crisis.”

To be accepted into the pro gram, students are required to have a bachelor’s degree in any field, and they must have completed prerequi site courses in microbiology, anatomy, physiology, chem istry and statistics.

“They have to have those prerequisites that are specific to the nursing content, but they can have any bachelor’s degree,” Dr. Leigh Hart, JU’s associate dean of nursing, said in a Zoom interview with the Observer. “The program does not cut the curriculum at all. They already have their core

courses, so they go directly into the nursing classes. They do the exact same courses, the same amount of class time and the same amount of clini cal time that they would in the traditional program.”

Hart said the initial goal is to have 24 students in the Palm Coast program in the 2023 spring semester.

“We are admitting now,” she said. “We do have many appli cations. There’s an applica tion process that involves an interview, they have to submit their transcripts, they (sub mit) a writing sample, then the faculty evaluates those and makes the admission decisions.”

Hart said JU started the accelerated program because of a nursing shortage in the state that is expected to worsen. The Florida Hospital Association projects a deficit of 59,100 nurses in Florida by 2035.

The predicted shortage, Hart said, is a combination of some nurses leaving the field along with a large number

reaching retirement age while the state’s elderly population continues to grow.

“It’s kind of like the perfect storm,” she said.

JU’s Palm Coast campus has 5,000 square feet of space with three classrooms and a simulation lab. The cam pus currently offers graduate programs in speech language pathology and clinical mental health counseling.

The simulation lab is a skills lab without electronic manikins, but the university also has a five-year deal with AdventHealth Palm Coast to use its $1 million high-tech simulation center.

Dr. Dawn Onstott is the coordinator of the Palm Coast nursing program. Dr. Charles Harvey, a clinical assistant professor of nursing, will be a full-time instructor. The uni versity is also hiring student success specialists to be on the campus, Hart said. Oth er professors from the main campus will be in Palm Coast part-time to teach specialty classes. Hart will teach the

nursing research class.

“We want to offer (the students) an education that aligns with the Jacksonville campus,” Onstott said. “So getting different clinical sites ready, getting supplies, look ing at quality candidates and having additional faculty here to help provide them a great education has been our main focus since we planned this.”

Northwestern Mutual opens Ormond location

Northwestern Mutual, a financial security company focused on financial planning through both insurance and investments, is opening a new office in Ormond Beach.

“As a fourth-generation Daytona Beach native, it has been a childhood dream of mine to open an office in my hometown,” Jessica Butcher Salazar, managing partner at Northwestern Mutual, said in a press release. “I’m opti mistic this office will deepen Northwestern Mutual’s community impact and bring meaningful career opportuni ties to financial advisors in the greater Daytona Beach area.”

Salazar started as a finan cial advisor for Northwestern Mutual in 2005 and has been working with the company for 17 years.

She received her under graduate degree from Stetson University and returned in 2021 to earn her master of business administration.

The Ormond Beach office is located at 1275 W. Granada Blvd., Suite 4A. In partnership with Northwestern Mutual’s Distribution Growth Ventures team, the office held a ribboncutting ceremony on Nov. 3 to celebrate the expansion.

Salazar’s team will consist of approximately 10 mem bers, with the potential to double that number after opening.

How to fix coastal damage? Volusia considers local, federal options

Hurricanes Ian and Nicole caused a combined $30 million in damage to Volusia’s coastal assets, according to officials.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

County officials called the destruc tion from Hurricane Nicole “unprec edented” during an update to the Volusia County Council on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

“Seems like we’ve been using that word a lot,” Community Information Director Kevin Captain said. “It’s certainly devastating, and it’s defi nitely wrecked our beach profile.”

Since the storm, officials have continuously urged residents to stay off the beach due to unsafe coastal structures and debris on the shore.

Structures that were damaged during Hurricane Ian were further compromised, or destroyed, by Nicole.

Public Works Director Ben Bartlett said that the county has assessed about $30 million in damage to its coastal assets from both storms combined.

Beach ramps that had minor dam age from Ian, and that the county had thought could be repaired quickly, are now “total losses,” he added.

“We’re working with beach safe ty on getting some of these access points up so that we can get folks on the beach in safe areas, where there’s no debris or limited debris, and mak ing sure that when in fact we do open those areas up, it’s safe for people to return,” Bartlett said. “People do want to go to the beach, we under stand that, and we’re working very hard to make that happen.”

County staff contacted the office of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was in the area over the weekend.

County Manager George Reck tenwald said staff had a “fruitful” exchange with the governor’s office about the county’s storm damage.

Recktenwald drafted a letter to the

governor, asking for more aid and thanking him for coming.

The council voted 5-0 to approve sending the letter to the governor; Councilwoman Heather Post was absent and former Councilman Fred Lowry’s last meeting was Nov. 1.

Deputy County Manager Suzanne Konchan said the Florida Depart ment of Environmental Protection is planning temporary beach repairs.

The council discusssed using Tiger Dam portable flood control measures and large sandbag placements to help support compromised seawalls.

The governor has directed DEP to provide $20 million for emergency sand placements to address dune and beach erosion in the state.

Volusia is hoping to get a signifi cant share of that aid.

County Council Chair Jeff Brower

asked if the county could get a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers to dredge sand from offshore and place it on the beach.

Konchan said the county hopes that Congress will pass a supple mental bill for Hurricane Ian so that Volusia’s project could be consid ered outside of the normal process for approving Army Corps projects.

“That is really the only way to get federal involvement in sand nourish ment, but it is undoubtably the very best way for the county to receive sand nourishment, because with the Army Corps projects, should future storms take the sand back into the ocean, they would come in and replace them at their cost,” Konchan said.

The only other federal way to get sand placement is through FEMA.

But sand placed with FEMA aid

can’t be deposited at the base of a seawall or dune or anywhere that is repeatedly impacted by high tides, and the amount of sand is much less than what the Army Corps could place.

The letter to the governor is a start in addressing the issues on the beach, Recktenwald said.

Speed is also something to con sider, he added, and the county may opt to repair some of the ramps and coastal structures itself.

“We can wait for FEMA, which we’re still waiting on the other [storm], and not have a beach sea son,” he said. “So we may have to make some decisions and say, ‘We may not get reimbursed, but we’re going to open this ramp and that ramp and we’re not going to wait for FEMA.’”

The storm undermined beachfront structures like dune walkovers.

A voice for Iranian women

Dear Editor:

On Oct. 27, my husband Jon and I stood with those from our IranianAmerican community in front of the Ormond Beach City Hall, pro testing the murder of Mahsa Amini and the disappearance of 16-yearold Nika Shakarami.

In the “My View” published in the Observer on Oct. 27 by Asal Mohamadi Johnson, director of the public health program at Stetson University, she implores us not to be passive bystanders. Although my husband and I were physically pres

ent at the protest, Asal tells us, “We do not have to be physically present to be active bystanders.”

Ellen Nielsen, poet and active member of the Unitarian Univer salist Congregation of Ormond Beach, is one such active bystander. Using her talents, she composed this poem, a voice for the Iranian people.

Hijab For Mahsa Amini: All over Iran women are yanking off their sober black scarves, waving  them over their heads and tossing them on bonfires.  All over Iran fires are burning for Mahsa who died mysteriously in custody of the morality police, who died  because she was young and Kurd

years. He had previously worked for the Volusia Sheriff’s Office and the Daytona Beach Police Department, and served as chief of the Daytona Beach International Airport Police Department, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page.

ish because a few strands of her hair escaped from confinement, because of the glimmer in her dark eyes, because her body swayed grace fully under her loose black dress, who died for perilous beauty who died for unquenchable joy that can tear down prison walls who did not die for nothing.

Asal tells us we can advocate for those protesting for “Women, Life, Freedom” in Iran by sharing their stories and struggles.

Brant Gammon receives full honors from brother and sister firefighters

The Palm Coast firefighter/ paramedic died of brain cancer at 51.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Hundreds of people filled Parkview Church on Saturday, Nov. 12, to cel ebrate the life of Brant Gammon, a Palm Coast firefighter and paramed ic who died Nov. 3 of brain cancer.

After the funeral service, the Palm Coast Fire Department performed a full honors ceremony for Gammon.

“His time with us was way too short. His impact is everlasting,” Department Chief Kyle Berryhill said at the honors ceremony.

Gammon died two days after his 51st birthday. He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Josie, a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher; their grown children Noah, Grant and Grace; his parents; and two brothers.

Gammon joined the department in 2018 as a volunteer intern and was hired as a firefighter-EMT in 2020 after switching careers from IT. Shortly after completing Daytona State College’s paramedic program in August, he was diagnosed with metastatic brain cancer and admit ted to Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital in Jacksonville. He returned home on Sept. 26.

Other area fire departments cov ered for Palm Coast on the morning of Nov. 12 to allow the entire depart ment to participate in the honors ceremony.

Gammon’s coffin was transported to and from the church in Fire Engine 25. The ceremony included bagpipers and drummers, a color guard, several fire engines, three sets of three ring ings of the bells, a bugler playing taps and Gammon’s last call.

The pallbearers were all crew members with Gammon. Two fire department cranes raised an over sized American flag in front of the church. Department Chaplain Chris Cottle read the “Firefighter’s Prayer.” A helicopter flew over as bagpipers played “Amazing Grace.”

Carole Gauronskas, the vice presi dent of the Florida Education Asso ciation, pitched in as volunteers stuffed reusable grocery bags and delivered them to waiting cars at the second annual Gobble Event.

The event was put on by FESPA — the Flagler Educational Support Professional Association — for FES PA members. Lakisha Ayers-White, a Flagler Schools bus driver and FES PA’s vice president, came up with the idea for the event and has organized it for the second year in a row.

This year, 56 FESPA families arrived at the Government Services Building on Nov. 15 to pick up the supplies for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Over 40 volunteers helped out with the event and over 40 donors made it possible. The volun

“I wasn’t able to make it last year, but I wanted to see all the work Laki sha has done,” said Gauronskas, who lives in St. Augustine and was an ESE paraprofessional for 18 years at Ket terlinus Elementary School. “These are tough times right now. This will make a difference. This is what union work is. As a union, we help our brothers and sisters.”

The bags included turkey, stuffing, cranberry, gravy, vegetables, mashed potatoes, pumpkin filling, evapo rated milk, brownie mix, a gallon of juice, plates, cups, utensils, Lysol wipes and donated paparazzi jew elry, Ayers-White said.

Some bags had bonus gifts. The top prize was a 46-inch TV, donated by National Teachers Associates Life Insurance Company. One bag also had a $50 gift card, six people got a gift certificate for a Subway sub and the district’s transportation depart ment donated a Ring video doorbell.

FESPA gave away 10 more turkey

dinners than last year, but AyersWhite said they had to cut it off because they weren’t sure if they would have enough donations to cover the higher cost of food this

year.

The turkeys cost $1,200.

“Cheryl Massaro (Flagler School Board member) said she would help us get a better price next year,” AyersWhite said. “I see that as the years go on, the FESPA Gobble Event will be growing, and with the support of the community we can keep it going.”

SCOUTS + STEM the perfect match

“I take my children to as many events with ERAU clubs as possible, as they also benefit from it,” she said. “It motivates them to engage in higher-level critical thinking, with out even knowing it. They know that math and science is fun and have the confidence to work towards com pleting any goal.”

That made me stick with the club the last four years.”

Brush bot robots, clothespin air planes and bottle rockets covered tables at Temple Beth-El in Ormond Beach Nov. 14 as Embry-Riddle Aero nautical University students met with a group of girl scouts and cub scouts.

ERAU Society of Women Engi neers and STEM Outreach club fac ulty advisor Claudia Ehringer Lucas, an assistant professor of engineering at the university, thought it would be valuable for the groups to speak with Ormond Beach scouts during their weekly meeting.

Her daughter, Hailey Lucas, is a Girl Scout with Troop 371, and her

Lucas is proud of her engineering students for using the skills they’ve learned at ERAU to teach children in Volusia County the importance of STEM and inspire them to become interested in learning more about the subjects through examples and experiments. Alexander Maschner, president of the STEM Outreach club, remembers how Idaho State Univer sity physics club students came to his school to do demonstrations.

“They would do crazy experi ments,” he said. “They would light stuff on fire, blow up balloons. All sorts of stuff. I was inspired by them. So when I came out here and met the (ERAU) club, I did one event with them and I was immediately hooked.

“I did not really get this intense STEM as a child,” she said. “It’s great for the kids. They are so excited. It’s cool to be able to bring STEM to them at such a young age.”

Joe Jernigan has been an assis tant cub master for three years and involved in scouts for 22 years. He believes it’s important for the scouts to interact with the ERAU students and to learn about STEM.

“Giving the scouts the opportuni ty to not only work with STEM, get ting the technology and education in mathematics, but also allowing them to work with other young people that they can look at and say, ‘These are the people that I want to be when I get to be that age,’ is a fantastic pro gram,” he said.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University clubs met with Girl Scout Troop 371 and Cub Scout Pack 327 to teach them a thing or two about science and tech.

Matthew Monroe has collected at least 8,000 shoes in the last 13 years. He’s hoping to pass on his initiative to another student.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

For 13 years, Matthew Monroe has been asking for shoes on his birth day.

Monroe has likely collected at least 8,000 shoes in that span of time — all for Soles4Souls, a nonprofit that distributes shoes to those in need worldwide. And since Monroe recently celebrated his 18th birth day and will be away at college for his next one, this year’s collection

WANT TO DONATE?

Soles4Souls ambassador Mat thew Monroe’s annual shoe drive in Ormond Beach will run through the end of the year. He invites locals to bring new or gently-used shoes of all kinds and sizes — from flip flops to ice skates — to the following collection locations:

„ City of Ormond Beach, 22 S. Beach St., Ormond Beach

„ Spruce Creek High School, 801 Taylor Road, Port Orange

„ Morejon & Andrews Ortho dontics, 163 Tomoka Ave., Ormond Beach

„ McDonnell & Parsons Pediat ric Dentistry, 1688 W. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach

„ Modern Minds Learning, 495 S. Nova Road, Suite 103, Ormond Beach

„ Pine Trail Elementary, 300 Airport Road, Ormond Beach

„ Ormond Beach Middle School, 151 Domicilio Ave., Ormond Beach

„ Ormond Lanes, 260 N. U.S. 1, Ormond Beach.

efforts will be the last he takes on in Ormond Beach.

Monroe said he’s excited and hop ing to make this year’s shoe drive a good one.

“I think what has kept me going is just knowing that what I’m doing is making a difference,” Monroe said. “And getting to see it spread and have all these new people involved and see them get to enjoy doing the same thing has been really a driver for it. That makes the work worth it.”

The Spruce Creek High School senior began holding donation drives for his birthday when he turned 5.

That year, he asked his friends to bring pet food for his birthday, with the aim of donating the items to a pet pantry in Atlanta, where he and his family lived at the time. Before his next birthday he heard about a shoe donation, and shifted his focus.

He’d like this year’s collection to be the biggest.

In past years, his collection has surpassed 1,000 shoes.

It’s gotten harder to track the spe cific number of shoes his donation drive collects for the nonprofit, as some people have chosen to ship them directly to Soles4Souls in his name.

A few years ago, the nonprofit sent him a poster of someone with a pair of donated shoes.

“That to me was just a really pow

erful moment,” Monroe said. “To see the actual impact and get to see someone wearing the shoes, it put a face to sort of the thing that I’ve been doing, which I think was really amazing.”

Monroe’s mother, Cynthia Petrie Monroe, said she’s often come home to see random bags of shoes left at their front door. People in the com munity look forward to the drive, she said.

“It’s wonderful for him to see that he’s made a difference,” Petrie Mon roe said. “For other people to want to help has seriously given him a sense of community, that people call and know about it and remember all year.”

Petrie Monroe sees her son’s shoe drive not just as an opportunity to help people in need, but also as a way for locals to teach their children about doing good deeds.

Monroe — who is enrolled in his school’s IB program, active in theater and was named Mr. Spruce Creek 2023 — hopes to continue holding shoe drives in college, but he’d also like to see the Ormond Beach dona tion drive continue.

Monroe is seeking a student to whom to hand off the shoe drive, so that it can continue without him.

The ideal candidate would be a stu dent in fifth or sixth grade who can commit to hosting the drive until they graduate. Those interested should call 678-525-3160.

“I think everybody plays a role in the future of our community and in the future of other people’s commu nities, and we can all do whatever we can to contribute,” he said.

Once in college, Monroe said, he hopes to pursue research biology, and is considering teaching higher education one day.

Three Beachside students selected for All-State choir

ALEXIS MILLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Beachside Elementary music teacher Sarah Johns was overjoyed when she heard that three of her students had passed the All-State auditions and will be performing with the Florida Elementary Music Educators Asso ciation All-State Ensembles in early January of next year.

“They competed against other students for their spot,” Johns said. “Now all the students across the state that have been selected will meet in Tampa to present a concert. ... When they report in January, all the students that are there will have been selected by the judges as the best musicians in the state of Flor ida.”

Johns teaches kindergarten through fifth grade at Beachside. This is her fifth year teaching at the school and her 22nd year as a music teacher.

Rena Raymond, a fifth grade stu dent at Beachside, was one of the three girls selected for All-State.

Raymond will be performing with the All-State Elementary Chorus. She just started singing in choir this school year. She said she is excited but nervous to participate in the chorus group at the All-State con cert.

Amaya Mathon, another fifthgrade student at Beachside, was also chosen to participate in the chorus group at the All-State concert. Ama ya said she has been singing since she was little and would like to possibly have a career as a songwriter in the future.

Lastly, Adele Rae Foster, also in the fifth grade, was chosen to participate in the elementary chorus and Orff Ensemble at the All-State concert. Adele said she has been singing since she was 2 or 3, and started singing in a church choir in the second grade. She said is excited to perform at AllState and continue her family’s lega cy, as her mom and aunt had partici pated in the All-State choir as well.

The All-State concert will be tak ing place at the Tampa Convention Center Jan. 10-13.

The All-State concerts will be held in Tampa in January.

THE FINE ARTS

SILVER LININGS Stacey Fletcher, of Ormond Beach, is known for creating bold, colorful paintings.

An abstract artist, she layers her canvases with materials such as acrylics, spray paint and oil sticks. An exhibition of her works, titled “Silver Linings,” is on display at Arts on Douglas at 123 Douglas St. in New Smyrna Beach.

“As she builds up layers, she explores connections between what cannot be seen and what is seen directly on the surface,” a press

release states.

In her artist statement, Fletcher said that her work is “a process of layering thoughts, memories, and ideas with sensual materials which motivate the paintings and displays the evolution of the mark.”

Her solo exhibition runs through Nov. 26. Fletcher will be presenting a free talk about her art process at the gallery at 11 a.m., Friday, Nov. 18.

Power play

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Travis Roland is not afraid of the dark.

When the stadium lights went out early in the third quarter of Mainland’s play off game with Eau Gallie, the Bucs coach knew exactly what to do.

“I’ve got experience in it,” he quipped.

It’s now happened to his teams three times in three years — against Madison County when Roland was Flagler Palm Coast’s coach in 2020, at FPC last year when Roland was in his first season as Mainland’s coach and against Eau Gallie at Daytona Stadium on Monday, Nov. 14, in a Region 3-3S quarterfinal.

This time, a blown transformer delayed the game for 50 minutes, with Mainland trailing 14-6. Roland, whose squad fell to FPC last year in a blackout game, knew what to do.

“We actually separated our guys into their position groups,” Roland said. “Because at FPC, there was too much chaos. We were all spread out. This time around, we handled it dif ferent.”

The Bucs were driving for a touch down when the stadium went dark. When play resumed, Ajai Harrell ran for a short touchdown and Mainland remained in control the rest of the half to turn away the visiting Com modores, 28-14.

The fourth-seeded Bucs (8-3) will now go on the road for a regional semifinal Saturday, Nov. 19, against No. 1 seed Rockledge. The Raiders (9-2) held on to a 13-12 win against eighth seed Satellite on Nov. 11 to advance.

“It’s going to be a tough game, but we can get it done,” Mainland quar terback Damarcus Creecy said. “We just have to execute more consis

touchdown passes to Harrell and James Randle and ran for a 27-yard score. The Bucs also had three touchdowns called back because of penalties.

Roland said the Rockledge game might be called differently by the officials.

“You have a different set of refer ees, they may let you play different,” he said. “So those no touchdowns can be touchdowns. I’m glad to see us moving the ball and handling our business, so the biggest thing is just making sure we do what we’re sup posed to do — play mistake-free football. We’ll fix those penalties. And I think we do a pretty good job of it in practice. We can’t control tickytack football though.”

The Commodores (7-4) scored both of their touchdowns on long pass plays from sophomore quar terback Jamari Crooms. University of Miami recruit Robert Stafford caught an 89-yard touchdown pass to put the visitors up 7-6 with 7:30 left before halftime. And sopho more DL Hardison, who has already committed to Florida State, caught an 82-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the third quarter.

“The play after halftime was just busted coverage,” Roland said. “If we don’t bust coverage, it’s hard to beat us. Staf ford made a good play on Zavier Mincey, and we’ll live with it. Zavier is going to be one-on-one because he’s that good, and if you beat him, we tip our

14U Wildcats head to regionals

The North Flagler Wildcats 14U football team finished the season 11-0 and is headed to the regional tournament Sunday, Nov. 19, in Ocala. The Wildcats, 8-0 since the spring, will be competing with other Southeast Region teams.

DSC men’s soccer in nationals

Daytona State College is the top seed at the NJCAA Division I Men’s National Soccer Tournament, which began Nov. 13 in Melbourne, with the title game set for Nov. 19. DSC (15-2-1) won its first game in pool play, 3-1 over Montgomery College of Rockville, Maryland, on Nov. 13. The pool winners advance to the semifinals on Thursday, Nov. 17. The NJCAA Network is streaming the tournament live.

DSC men’s hoops moves up in poll

DSC’s men’s basketball team has jumped three spots to No. 4 in the NJCAA Region 8 coach’s poll. The Falcons improved to 5-0 with a 96-67 road win over Miami Dade College Nov. 12. Their closest margin of victory this season has been 10 points. They host DME Academy on Nov. 23.

FPC swimmer places at two events at state

Lucy Noble saved her best for last.

The Flagler Palm Coast senior completed her high school swim ming career with two top-10 finishes at the Class 4A state championships on Nov. 5.

Noble finished first in the B final and ninth overall in the 100-yard backstroke with a personal-record time of 58.08. Her time was faster than the eighth-place finisher in the A Final and about two-tenths of a second faster than her prelim time.

She also placed 10th in the 50-yard freestyle, with a time of 24.27. Noble had hoped to break 24 seconds in her signature event, but after finishing 11th in prelims, she moved up a spot to 10th with a second-place finish in the B final.

“Definitely the best results I’ve had out of my four years,” she said.

“My results from the 50 free weren’t exactly what I was hoping for, but I was really happy with my 100 back.” Her time in the 100 back qualified her for the 100-meter backstroke event at USA Swimming’s Futures Championship July 27-30 in Cary, North Carolina.

Noble, who will attend the event with the Hydro4 Swim Club out of the Ormond Beach YMCA, had already qualified for Futures in the 50-meter freestyle. She will also get to compete in two bonus swims at Futures.

“I can pretty much guarantee I’ll be in the 100 freestyle, and then whatever stroke is feeling good to me at the time,” she said. “If I had to guess I’d say probably the 100 breast, because for some reason, in long course meters I can pull together a

pretty good (100 breaststroke).” Noble is adept at all of the strokes, but her strength is sprint events — 50 and 100 yards and meters — so she is hesitant to swim in the 200 individual medley in college.

“I can do each stroke separately. I just can’t seem to put it together,” she said. “The 200 is just some thing that I’m not really the best at, but I’m definitely willing to work on it. I mean, my club coaches and I have been working on it for years, and I’ve improved, but just not nearly fast enough to swim it in college.”

Noble will continue her aca demic and swimming career at Eastern Michigan University next year. While she might not be ready for the 200 IM, she expects to swim the freestyle sprints and will try to continue to develop her 100 back stroke, which is a relatively new event for her.

In the meantime, she’ll continue to swim with Hydro4.

“Every day is club practice,” Noble said. “I’ll swim up through the summer, and then once it’s time for me to go to college, I’ll say goodbye until next summer, and then I’m sure I’ll be back swimming with them in the summertime.”

He plays both kinds of football

Mikhail Zysek stepped from the football field onto the soccer pitch.

Two days after Flagler Palm Coast was eliminated from the football playoffs, Zysek, the Bulldogs’ leading receiver this season, rejoined the soccer team and scored the only goal of the game as FPC defeated St. Augustine 1-0 on Nov. 14. Grayson Ronk assisted on the goal as the Bulldogs improved to 2-0 with the home victory.

8U Bulldogs win Super Bowl

The Flagler Bulldogs 8U team shut out the South Florida Bengals 24-0 to win the MidFlorida Football and Cheer Conference Super Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 11.

Tysin Willacy scored two touchdowns for the Bulldogs. He opened the scoring with a 78-yard catch-and-run touchdown from quarterback Janobi Fennell. Majour Eitheridge scored on a 17-yard run, and Cameron Perkins scored the Bulldogs’ final touchdown. Fennell also had a goal-line stop.

The players on the Bulldogs’ 8U team included Kaiden Smith, Majour Ethridge, Tajai Edwards, Kobe McCall, Davion Johnson, Julisia Green, Markell Spearmon, Jean Rodriguez, Dylan Woods, Janobi Fennell, Kayson Santiago, Kent Coleman, La’Vadre Brock, Ja’on Bennett, Tysin Willacy, Haidyn Nelson and Cameron Perkins. The coaches were Marquis Murphy, Sayvion Murphy, Guy Burkley Sr. and Guy Burkley Jr.

The Bulldogs’ 12U team also advanced to the Super Bowl, but lost 32-12. Xzayvier Johnson had a touchdown catch for Flagler.

Seabreeze’s Caleb Orchard aims for two top-3 finishes at state meet

Six Seabreeze swimmers and one Father Lopez swimmer have qualified for the Class 2A and 1A championships.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Just about every time Seabreeze senior Caleb Orchard dives into a pool, he improves on his swim times. So, when he says his goal is to finish among the top three in both of his events at the Class 2A state swim championships and maybe take a win, his competitors ought to take him seriously.

Orchard is seeded fourth in the 50-yard freestyle and fifth in the 100-yard breast stroke at the Nov. 19 meet at Sailfish Splash Waterpark and Aquatics Center in Stuart. He won district on Oct. 25 with a

time of 22.32 seconds in the 50 free.

At region a week later, he lowered his time to 22.08. His drop in the 100 breaststroke from 1:03.18 at district to 1:00.54 at region was even more

dramatic.

“I dropped 11 seconds this year in my 100 breast, and I drop three seconds at every meet I swim in,” he said.

Perhaps his advantage is that he’s just hitting his stride. Unlike most swimmers who qualify for state, Orchard is not a year-round club swimmer. He’s only been swimming regularly since he was a freshman, and he only swims during the high school season. In other words, he’s a swimming unicorn.

“I did a swimming class in sixth grade,” he said. “It was an intro into it. Then I swam a little more in sev enth grade, just for two months. That was in California. When I moved here, I didn’t swim again until fresh man year.”

Orchard said he tried club swim ming for about a week and didn’t like it.

“The club teams don’t feel as much like a team, because everyone’s there to swim for themselves,” he said.

FABULICH, Seabreeze

“Here, it feels like everyone wants to be together. It’s fun. That’s what I like about it.”

Orchard is one of six Seabreeze swimmers who will be competing at state. In addition to his two indi vidual events, Orchard is also in the 200 medley relay with Martin Montalvo, Dante DiPietro and Cole Long. The Sandcrabs are seeded 16th. Montalvo is also swimming in the 100 backstroke, where he is seeded 21st.

Freshman Addie Smurdon is seeded 14th in the girls 100 free style and 23rd in the 200 freestyle.

Sophomore Mackenzie O’Keefe, who like Orchard is making a return trip to state, is seeded ninth in the 100 butterfly and sixth in the 200 freestyle.

Father Lopez sophomore Nela nee Fulton is seeded ninth in the girls 200-yard individual medley and 15th in the 100 butterfly at the Class 1A state meet on Nov. 18 at Sailfish Splash Waterpark.

Both the 1A and 2A state meets were moved back a week because of Hurricane Nicole. The sud den change of schedule did not do

the swimmers any favors, Seabreeze coach Samantha Fabulich said.

“It makes it a little difficult to train kids, taper them properly,” she said. “But I know they’re excited and ready to get it done.”

O’Keefe is hoping to finish among the top eight in prelims in both of the 200 free and the 100 butterfly.

“I’m hoping to make the A final in both of my events,” she said.

Last year at state, O’Keefe finished 21st in the 200 free and ninth in the 100 fly. This year she has been focus ing more on the 200 free.

“I owe it to my two coaches (Fab ulich and Garrett Klayer),” she said. “Because I feel like I’ve swam a lot of 200 frees this year. My tech nique with my stroke is a lot better. I wanted to improve in that event, and I dropped so much at districts this year.”

Unlike Orchard, O’Keefe is a yearround swimmer with Hydro4. Her highlight last year was qualifying for Speedo Sectionals, where she got to see Olympic gold medalists Caleb Dressel and Michael Andrew compete.

“It was a huge accomplishment for me,” she said. “There were a ton of huge Olympian swimmers. It was really motivating.”

Orchard is planning to join a club team for the first time after state. As well as he’s been swimming, he says he’s not ready to hang it up.

“That way I can drop my times even more and walk on to a college team, wherever I go to college, and see if I can swim for them,” he said.

Mackenzie O’Keefe is seeded ninth in the 100 butterfly and sixth in the 200 free.
