Debris collection is ongoing

The city of Ormond Beach continues its debris efforts, with 85,000 cubic yards of debris collected from Sept. 28 through Oct. 31.

City Public Works Director Shawn Finley informed the commission on Tuesday, Nov. 1, that there were 19 Crowder Gulf trucks on the road that day. So far, the city’s contractor has collected $1.2 million worth of debris.

The city is awaiting authorization from FEMA to pick up debris in private gated communities. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said city staff is contacting homeowners’ associations and formulating ways to address this issue.

Don’t throw away election signs

Most recyclers won’t accept election signs — but the Volusia County Agricultural Center will.

Residents may bring their signs to the center at 3100 E. New York Ave. in DeLand, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Nov. 19 and 20, where volunteers will deliver the signs to a specialized recycling center, according to a county press release.

Selby, Kent, Littleton say farewell to city

for capital purchases within the police and fire depart ments; and the securement of a state grant for a septic to sewer conversion for three city streets, to name a few he listed.

If they reviewed all of the minutes from the estimated 120 meetings he attended as commissioner, he’s sure there would be more accomplish ments.

“As I reflect on my tenure on the City Commission, I look back with pride, know ing the campaign promises I may have come to fruition,” Selby said.

City Manager Joyce Sha nahan said Selby’s, Kent’s and Littleton’s fingerprints are “all over the city,” from the Christmas decorations on Granada Boulevard to the Environmental Discovery Center.

City Commissioners Dwight Selby, Troy Kent and Rob Littleton were recognized for their years behind the dais during their last commission meeting, on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Selby and Littleton were first elected in 2016. Kent has served on the commission for 19 years, having been first elected in 2003.

Mayor Bill Partington said all three have always taken the role of com missioner seriously.

“You do what you believe is right,” he said. “You love the city of Ormond Beach. You’ve made tremendous sacrifices to serve and provide ser vices to this community, and indi vidually and as a crew, you have pro tected this city and made it better.”

Partington recited the Athenian Oath and said the commissioners had lived up to it with their service.

Each of the outgoing commis sioners received an engraved clock commemorating their time in public office.

Since he was sworn into office, Kent counted about 456 commis sion meetings have taken place. He remembers missing only three, one of which was for the birth of his son, Wyatt.

“My goal when I was elected 19 years ago was to make Ormond bet ter,” Kent said. “I feel like I did that. I’m leaving it better than when I found it.”

Some of the accomplishments he’s most proud of include the height lim it in the city, Andy Romano Beach front Park, the creation of Movies on the Halifax, the splash pad at South Ormond Neighborhood Center, and the double left turn lanes on South

Halifax Drive toward Granada Bou levard.

Littleton said he was most proud of how the commission and city staff dealt with adversity — storms, the COVID-19 pandemic, a ‘conten tious’ 2020 election.

“And through that Ormond Beach still has a 15% general fund reserve, but more importantly, it was still a great place to live,” Littleton said.

“People still want to live here.”

Selby prepared a statement, which he read during his final remarks of the night. He spoke about the update of the downtown master plan that led in part to new restaurants, busi nesses and art galleries; the dedica tion to First Step Shelter; the trans formation of Vadner Park with the Garden Club of Halifax Country; the establishment of a dedicated millage

“Your dedicated selfless service has made Ormond a better place,” Shanahan said. “... I’ve been the most fortu nate city manager there is to spend the last 13 years here in Ormond Beach with most of you all. You pushed me to be a better leader and you chal lenged staff to do things more efficiently, more effectively. You tightened the belt straps on the budget to make sure we are fiscally sound, and we are a stronger and better commu nity for each of your services.”

Excerpt of the Athenian Oath

Be their voice

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

The sun peeked through the clouds on the late afternoon hours of Thursday, Oct. 17, as a group of about 30 peo ple clustered in the side walk in front of City Hall in Ormond Beach. The Farsi version of “Bella Ciao” — a song that was originally the anti-fascist anthem for Italians during World War II — played over a speaker.

Many held signs with Mahsa Ami ni’s name, with the promise that they won’t forget the 22-year-old’s death on Sept. 16 in Tehran, Iran, after she was arrested by the coun try’s morality police for allegedly wearing a hijab improperly. She died later in a hospital under suspicious circumstances. Since then, Iranians have held massive demonstrations in the country, with women burning head scarves, despite violence from Iranian security forces.

And the Iranian-American com munity of Greater Daytona Beach decided it was time locals paid attention to what is happening in their homeland.

“This has been going on for five weeks,” said Dr. Mona Mashayekh, one of the protest’s organizers. “They’re killing the teenagers, stu dents, high schoolers, and they just have no morals. It’s a dictatorship that should go, and unfortunately, we don’t see that much support from the U.S.”

In the aftermath of Amini’s death, Mashayekh said she had nightmares as she recalled her own experiences

in Iran. This isn’t the first time, she said, that an uprising has occurred because of the Islamic Republic’s actions.

“But this time, the sad thing and the beautiful thing is that people from all ethnicities in Iran and all cultural groups have become united,” she said.

Asal Mohamadi Johnson, an asso ciate professor and the director of the Public Health program at Stet son University, was born and raised in Iran. Twenty-three years ago, as student protests surged, she was approached by Iranian state-spon sored militia and told she needed to cover her bangs, she wrote in a recent op-ed to the Observer. She was saved by people who intervened and decid ed not to be “passive bystanders.”

At the protest, Mohamadi Johnson said many local Iranians are sad that

“They’re killing the teenagers, students, high schoolers and they just have no morals. It’s a dictatorship that should go, and unfortunately, we don’t see that much support from the U.S.”

DR. MONA MASHAYEKH

they can’t have a direct role in what is happening in Iran. But what they can do, she said, is take advantage of free speech in the U.S. and share posts and videos of the demonstra tions in Iran on social media.

“What is important is for us to be their voice,” Mohamadi Johnson said.

School Board prepares for changeDEP waives seawall restrictions

The agenda workshop was the final meeting for board members Trevor Tucker, Janet McDonald and Jill Woolbright.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Flagler County School Board workshop on Nov. 1 had more seats at the table than normal.

Two incoming board mem bers and the two candidates for the District 2 seat shared the discussion with the five cur rent School Board members.

The workshop on the first Tuesday of each month focuses on the agenda for that month’s business meeting. The Nov. 22 business meeting, however, will have a new board sworn in. Board Chair Trevor Tucker and members Janet McDonald and Jill Woolbright partici pated in their final meeting, as their terms will expire after the Nov. 8 election.

Incoming board members Christy Chong and Sally Hunt were invited to join the work shop along with Courtney VandeBunte and Will Furry, who are contending for the final seat.

“You do learn a lot as you go along.

Ms. Woolbright and I had to learn by the seat of our pants during the pandemic. So don’t panic.”

CHERYL MASSARO to new School Board members

The board members and district staff explained pro cedures to the newcomers.

Patty Wormeck, the dis trict’s chief financial officer, who presented a financial statement and capital expense report that will be on the Nov. 22 consent agenda, told the incoming members that she will be available for a “finance 101 crash course.”

Board member Cheryl Mas saro told the newcomers they shouldn’t worry about infor mation overload.

“You do learn a lot as you go along,” she said. “Ms. Wool bright and I had to learn by the seat of our pants during the pandemic. So don’t panic. This is the hardest job I’ve ever had and the least money I’ve ever made.”

But she added that it’s also one of the most rewarding jobs she’s ever had.

After the workshop, Hunt said it was a great idea to have the incoming members included in the meeting, since they will be voting on those agenda items later this month.

“It was super helpful,” Hunt said. “I was just sharing with Cheryl that had I been sworn in I would have had many more questions, but I really felt it was my place to do more listening today.”

Chong said the workshop was informative.

“I just really appreciate the previous board welcoming us. It was a great learning experi ence, and I think we’re off to a good start,” Chong said. “There’s a lot to learn, so I’m very open. I’ll be doing my research and continuing to follow the agenda.”

At the end of the meeting, School Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt said she’s had “an amazing two years” with the current board and gave each outgoing member a plaque

recognizing their service to Flagler Schools.

Tucker, who has been on the board since 2010, told a story — which he said would be a treat, since he’s known to not talk much. Tucker said that just as three friends will take different routes and modes of transportation to meet at a common location for lunch, so do students require differ ent approaches to learning, and it’s the educator’s job to find the right direction and mode for each student.

“You may have to be that bicycle, that bulldog, that train or ferry, but it’s our job to get them there,” he said.

Massaro thanked Tucker for his operational and economic expertise during his years on the board.

Woolbright, in her closing comment, warned the board about the increasing numbers of home-school students and vouchers subsidizing private education. In the last five years, she said, Flagler Coun ty home-school students increased from 176 to 1,180.

“Vouchers increased for all levels of income. We had $5 million backed out of our budget at the end of last year because of vouchers,” she said. “No matter how you feel about vouchers, they’re here. I suggest the new board take a look at how to be competitive to draw those people back to public schools.”

Woolbright had been a Flagler County teacher for 29 years before running for County Commissioner Andy Dance’s vacated School Board seat in 2020.

“I’ve advocated for children no matter what their walk of life,” she said. “I’m going to still advocate for all children. I won’t have an official title any longer, nor will I seek an official title, but I will be involved.”

Locals who need a permit should apply promptly, Volusia officials said.

The state government is waiv ing three requirements that have become obstacles for private property owners seek ing to repair seawalls after Hurricane Ian.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection suspended the requirements through an Oct. 28 Volusiaspecific emergency final order on coastal armoring.

The order removes the pro vision requiring that seawalls be repaired to the original level of protection, waives the determination for eligibility and removes the rule barring permits for seawall projects in areas where a beach nour ishment project is scheduled within nine months, Volu sia County Senior Assistant Attorney Paolo Soria told the Volusia County Council on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Property owners will still need to get a permit from DEP for seawall repairs that would be considered “permanent” by the agency’s standards. Tem porary permits for repairs such as sheet piles not exceeding 4 feet, small bags of sand or sand replacement can be obtained through the county. DEP staff are available to answer ques tions at the county’s building at 440 Beach St. in Daytona Beach.

Soria urged residents to move quickly.

“Contact the DEP immedi ately, get that permit, get that application in, so that they can start the process,” he said.

Because of the risk that nor’easters could bring signif

DEBRIS COLLECTION CONTINUES

Volusia County is aiming to have most hurricane debris collected in unincorporated areas by Nov. 22.

“We’re ramping up,” said Ben Bartlett, Volusia County public works director. “Working as hard as we can, pushing the contractor to get as many trucks in here as we can.”

Bartlett said there are 49 hauling units working throughout the county for debris collection, which began on Oct. 5. The county’s contractor, CrowderGulf, is collecting about 235 loads

icant waves to Volusia Coun ty’s shores, Coastal Division Director Jessica Fentress urged all concerned oceanfront property owners talk to a DEP representative in person. She cautioned people against hir ing contractors and engineers who may not have experience with oceanfront structures.

“We’re looking at a storm event that’s coming this weekend, and you’re going to have 6- to 10-foot waves with 20-mph winds coming out of the east,” she said. “So I urge everybody … go and talk to DEP and see what your options are.”

That’s the most important thing the public can hear now, Council Chair Jeff Brower said.

“It’s critical that they go and have that face-to-face, because we started today with the season for northeaster lies,” he said.

Fentress warned people not to ignore signs stating walk overs are closed. They are structurally unsafe, and some have no support underneath and have 30-foot drop-offs at the end, she said.

per day, which amounts to a daily collection of around 11,250 cubic yards of debris.

Through Oct. 31, CrowderGulf has collected 160,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris and 15,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition debris. Bartlett said the county has opened a management site to help reduce haul times and increase efficiency.

“It’s going to be a steady stream for the next 20, 30 days,” Bartlett said.

Nov. 1 also marked the start of Volusia’s off-season for beach access. The off-season runs through Feb. 1. The coun ty is looking to open 15 beach ramps on weekdays, and 17 on weekends. The plan was not significantly impacted by the storm. Due to the loss of sand and high tides, beach driv ing has been limited to two to four hours a day. Recently, the county reopened the fol lowing areas to beach driving:

„ Granada Boulevard to Mil sap Road, Ormond Beach

„ Harvard Drive, Ormond Beach to University Boule vard, Daytona Beach

„ Seabreeze Boulevard, Day tona Beach

„ International Speedway Boulevard, Daytona Beach to Botefuhr Avenue, Daytona Beach Shores

„ Beach Street, Ponce Inlet

OCT. 23 A SIDE OF GROSS

5:30 p.m. — 100 block of Cypress Edge Drive, Palm Coast Indecent exposure. A man was arrested on Sunday, Oct. 23, after exposing his genitalia the previous Friday to a woman working at a local restaurant’s curbside pickup.

The woman told deputies that the man routinely parked in curbside pickup, but would ask for a menu and order there, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. On a previous occasion, the woman said, the man’s pants had been down when the woman returned to the vehicle with his receipt.

This time, the woman told deputies, the man’s window was rolled completely down, and the man was holding his exposed genitals as the woman approached the car. The woman immediately went back inside the restaurant, and the man drove away. A male employee got the car’s license plate number.

The man was later identified by the victim in a photo lineup and taken into custody.

OCT. 25

DINE AND DASH, BUT QUIETLY 7:52 p.m. — 1600 block of North U.S. 1, Ormond Beach Larceny. Police responded to a local restaurant after a couple ordered $142 worth of food and drinks and left without paying.

According to a police report, the restaurant’s manager said that the man walked out the front door and around the building to a small U-Haul truck and pulled it up to the front. Then the woman left through the patio door and entered the truck as well.

No one was aware they had dined and dashed until the

waitress who had been serving them noticed.

The restaurant owner decided to press charges.

OCT. 26

TRIED AND TESTED

11 a.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach Petit theft. A 34-year-old Ormond Beach man was issued a notice to appear in court after he was caught stealing $468 worth of merchandise from a local supermarket.

A customer alerted store staff to the crime, and an employee watched the man ride through the store in his wheelchair and conceal toys, clothes, shoes and other items in two tote bags, according to a police report.

The man then exited the store and entered the parking lot, where he was confronted by a police officer.

The man admitted to the theft and said he had the money to pay for the items, “but thought he could get away with it,” the report states. The store’s management wanted to pursue charges.

Because the man had no previous theft convictions, he was released at the scene and issued the notice to appear in court.

THIEF OF CHIPS 11:32 p.m. — 600 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach Larceny. A gas station convenience store manager became wary of a young man who entered the store “acting suspicious,” according to a police report.

The man walked around the back of the store and grabbed two large

bags of chips, then asked if the 2-liter sodas came in different flavors.

When the manager turned her back on the man, he left the store with the bags of chips, valued at $9.18, the manager later told police.

The man was accompanied by a second man, but the second man didn’t steal anything.

OCT. 27 THE NAME IS ‘HOOAH’ 8:37 p.m. — 100 block of Cypress Point Parkway, Palm Coast

Disorderly intoxication A man was arrested Thursday, Oct. 27, after threatening to shoot people at a big box store on Cypress Point Parkway. Store managers said the man threatened to shoot them and the customers with a gun he claimed he had with him.

When Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived, the man threatened them and fought detainment, according to his arrest report. His speech was slurred, and he smelled of alcohol.

When asked, the man gave “Hooah” as his first name and “Semper Fi” as his surname, according to the report.

The man was placed in the back of the patrol car, where he made “extremely offensive and derogatory” statements to the deputy driving the car, according to the report. Because the man had a history of convictions for threatening deputies, he was charged with a felony count of threatening law enforcement.

Wanted man arrested after seven-hour search

Flagler County Sheriff’s Of fice deputies arrested a man and a woman after the pair entered Flagler County in a stolen truck, then abandoned it and ran when deputies chased them.

Suspects Jerrod Oats and Jada Wells face multiple charges after the seven-hour pursuit. Oats was a fugitive with 10 arrest warrants from Georgia for charges including armed robbery, kidnapping, sexual battery of a child under 16 years of age and aggra vated assault, according to a press release from the FCSO.

The FCSO was notified of the suspects’ presence when a truck stolen from Georgia entered Flagler County just after 3 p.m., according to an arrest affidavit.

Deputy Seth Green found the truck empty just north of State Road 100, near John Campbell Road.

Deputies scoured the area with a police dog and a heli copter, finding a towel and a knit beanie, but no suspects.

Close to 7 p.m., someone who owns property in the area called the Sheriff’s Office and said they saw a man on a game camera near the truck.

Deputies arrived and found shoe prints going north, to ward a hunting camp on John Campbell Road.

The search began again with a police dog and a helicopter. Deputies tracked Oats to a hunting camp. Oats fled into the woods, but deputies caught him just before 10 p.m. Wells had been caught

earlier, when a woman at a different property called 911 and said that a woman — later identified as Wells — was banging on her door.

“This is another great example of our emergency calling system and the ‘see something, say something’ working,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “A special thank you to the resident for calling us im mediately.”

Man arrested for concealed firearm

A 21-year-old man was ar rested on Oct. 24 for carrying a concealed Glock 19 without a permit.

The young man was ap proached by FCSO Deputy Alton Ogden after the deputy saw him smoking “from a joint-styled item” in the driv er’s side of a vehicle with two other occupants, according to Ogden’s report. The man im mediately dropped the joint when he saw Ogden.

Ogden wrote in the report that he approached the situa tion comically to put the man at ease, saying, “Uh oh, here comes the cops.” The man began apologizing. When Ogden checked the car’s oc cupants’ driver’s licenses, he found that the female driver’s license had been suspended.

Ogden told the three to stand next to his patrol car while the vehicle was searched.

The 21-year-old man, un prompted, said he had a gun in his pocket. He admitted that he did not have a con cealed weapons permit.

The man was arrested on the felony charge.

Deputies tase an inmate attacking with a plunger

An inmate at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility was tased twice by deputies after he attacked them with a broken toilet plunger on Thursday, Oct. 27.

The man, Delray Beach resident Isaac Brevil, was re-arrested on five felony charges after the incident.

Five deputies at the jail were involved. Four were uninjured, and one sustained a fractured elbow, according to a press release.

“I commend our detention deputies for how they handled a very dangerous situation, and thank God the injuries were not any worse,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Brevil got the plunger from a deputy to unclog his cell’s toilet, according to an arrest report, but would not return it and instead broke it in two, creating sharp-ended sticks.

Brevil was initially arrested in September for fleeing a traffic stop and has an open extradition warrant from Palm Beach for carjacking.

Man convicted for armed robbery

At the conclusion of a twoday trial, a Volusia County jury on Wednesday, Oct. 26, found Edgardo Hernandez guilty as charged of principal to rob bery with a firearm.

Hernandez has a history of gun charges, including a pre vious robbery with a firearm.

On May 22, 2021, Her nandez, who was 19 at the time, went along with two other teenagers for the resale transaction of a belt.

Second Strike Team deploys to Fort Myers Beach

A second “Strike Team” of Fla gler County Fire Rescue staff left for Fort Myers Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 25, to relieve the first team.

The second team will undertake the last half of a 10-day operation to staff a Fort Myers Beach fire station, according to a press release from the Flagler County gov ernment.

The first team had departed on Oct. 20 for their five-day stay.

Battalion Chief Cody King, Community Paramedic Rob Errett and firefighter-para medics Justin McDonald, Ron Titus and Adam VanDeusen were sent to replace Lt. Karl Froling, Lt. Tony Guerin, Reu ben Zuazua, Beau Kruithoff and Prince Mack.

Fire Rescue Chief Michael Tucker chose the members of the Strike Team. Their fire en gine will remain in Fort Myers Beach the entire 10 days.

Tucker said the Strike Team in Fort Myers Beach has been dealing with gas leaks, medi cal calls and construction accidents.

“They are starting to bring the power back to the island of Fort Myers Beach, which is when you start to see fires,” Tucker said.

Providers to hold outreach event

391499-1

During the buy in Daytona Beach, Hernandez and a codefendant pointed guns at the victim, ordering him to hand over his belt and wallet and get on the ground. The victim gave the defendants his belt, valued at $400, and his wallet containing more than $100.

Later that night, a Daytona Beach Police Officer found the car involved in the armed robbery and arrested the defendants.

The stolen items and the phone used in the crime were recovered from the car. The Glock used by Hernandez was found dumped nearby.

It had been stolen in Semi nole County shortly before the armed robbery took place.

A “Flagler Fall Outreach” event will bring social service providers to Cattleman’s Hall at the Flagler County Fair grounds on Friday, Nov. 18. The event will be held from 1-4 p.m. at the fairgrounds at 150 Sawgrass Road, Bunnell.

Service providers will of fer free information, as well as assistance with things like free food and haircuts, according to a Flagler County government news release.

The Flagler County Health and Human Services Depart ment is organizing the event.

“It really helps the com munity to have an event that provides one-stop shopping, if you will,” said Health and Hu man Services Director Joseph Hegedus. “There are times when people slip through the cracks for no other reason than they are unsure where to go for help. This is the place to be.”

The funding will support the Ed Foundation’s Flagler Peer Learning project.

OBSERVER STAFF

Florida Power & Light recently awarded more than $10,900 to the Flagler County Education Foun dation as part of FPL’s statewide Empowering STEM (Science, Tech nology, Engineering and Math) Edu cators Program, FPL announced in a news release.

The program’s goal is to train teachers in effective math and sci ence instructional practices that align with Florida standards.

The funding will support the Fla gler Ed Foundation’s Flagler Peer Learning project. As a part of the

program, 10 teacher leaders will facilitate a session in which they share their lesson plans with fourthto eighth-grade math and science teachers.

“High-quality, engaging, stan dards-based instruction is critical for students to build strong foun dations in math and science,” said Mary Chance, president and CEO of the Consortium of Florida Edu cation Foundations. “Through this program, we are grateful to provide our teachers with a valuable learning opportunity that will benefit both their professional development and the education of students across Fla gler County schools.”

FPL is partnering with the Con sortium to bring the educators pro gram to school districts around the state. The Consortium and FPL developed this program specifically for math and science teachers.

“We know that when you invest in teacher development, you are also investing in every student they will instruct and inspire for many years to come,” said Sarah Marmion, edu cation and outreach centers man ager for FPL. “Supporting our local students and educators’ education helps better prepare tomorrow’s leaders and innovators while also making Florida an even better place to live, work and raise a family.”  Including Flagler County, FPL is awarding a total of $131,000 to 11 local education foundations across the state.

As part of a continued commit ment to STEM education, FPL and the NextEra Energy Foundation will also award up to five Florida schools a $50,000 classroom makeover grant to improve technology, equipment and resources.

BRIEFS

Volusia school staff honored for hurricane recovery efforts

Clad in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, employees of Volusia County Schools’ facilities, maintenance and operations departments were recognized by the School Board on Oct. 25 for their efforts in helping Lee County recover from Hurricane Ian.

VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said she had received an email Oct. 11 from Department of Education Senior Chancellor Jacob Oliva, who wrote that Lee County schools needed support recovering from Ian.

Seventeen VCS employees quickly volunteered to be deployed to help, starting on Oct. 12.

The employees have 126 years of cumulative experience with VCS, and they spent 2,456 hours serving about 20 schools, doing debris

removal, water filter changes, ceiling tile replacements, HVAC repairs and other projects, according to the VCS Facebook page. The employees returned to Volusia County on Oct. 17.

“There were no hotels for them to stay at, so they took their own cots and they just got comfortable, I guess, at the Educational Leadership Center there,” Balgobin said at the School Board meeting. “But it really shows you the heart, the camaraderie.”

VCS Chief Operating Officer Earl Johnson said that when they asked for volunteers for this recovery effort, the district had to turn some volunteers away.

The employees that participated in the effort were: Dustin Andrews, David Battistone, Darmin Baysinger, Shawn Capman, William DeRosier, Derrick Dillard, Richard Dominy, Sean Gilbert, Jared Gross, Garrett Holcombe, Garrett Kennedy, Alec McCaskill, Tyler Purnell, Morgan Pull, Hector Rodriguez, Steve Taylor and Joel Williams.

Art festival to be held this weekend

A total of 236 artists — 175 from Florida — will showcase their wares at the annual festival in downtown Daytona Beach.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

The 60th-annual Halifax Art Festi val is bringing 236 artists to down town Daytona Beach this Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5 and 6.

The festival will be on Beach Street, stretching between Bay Street and Orange Avenue.

Festival Chair Andrea Pair said a number of high quality artists return to the juried festival year after year. The festival, presented by the Guild of the Museum of Arts and Sciences, is organized and run entirely by vol unteers to benefit the museum.

“The festival started in downtown Daytona, in the Beach Street area — the same place we are now — with folks who just kind of showed their wares on the ground,” Pair said. “It was a hit from the start, and so 60 years later, we’re still having the art festival.”

The guild also partners with the Downtown Development Authority to host the festival, which will also have live music, food vendors and a student art exhibit and competition.

The winning art will be on display at MOAS after the Sunday awards ceremony.

TALENT ON SHOW George Guadiane, of Ormond Beach, is one of the artists who will be par ticipating in this year’s festival.

An award-winning woodturner, he’s been part of the festival for about eight years, and said it is a “well-presented and well-attended” event each year.

“There are a lot of really talented artists that come and do this show from in and out of the area, and it makes me proud to be able to be among them,” Guadiane said.

Guadiane decided he wanted to

work with wood about 23 years ago, and as he explored this idea further, he attended a woodturning sympo sium. He turned a pen, and got it right on the first try, he recalled. He felt that was an indication of the path he should take.

He now makes hollow forms — vases, bowls, platters and the like — mostly out of exotic woods.

How does he come by his mate rial? Guadiane said he’s a “hurricane shopper.” Instead of cutting trees down, he goes out and looks for wood once the trees have already fallen, or finds wood through estate sales.

“One of my superpowers is the ability to see from experience what the wood is going to look like when I cut it up and then when I turn it,” he said. “I’m not always right, but there

are certain things that you can count on in most wood, in terms of how it reveals itself when you shape it.”

What calls to him about wood turning as an art form is the idea that making a form on a piece of wood changes a person’s view of the wood.

“In other words, if it was a flat board, you’d have one view of the wood,” Guadiane said. “If you took the same piece of wood and turned it into a cylinder, all the different aspects of the contours and the grain patterns, etc., would be changed. So it’s revealing the beauty of the wood in a different way.”

‘ARTISTS OF TOMORROW’

Pair said one of her favorite parts of the festival is seeing the camaraderie of the team that puts it together.

The festival takes almost 100 vol unteers to run, and preparation takes place year-round.

The festival is held in the first weekend in November every year, and by December, the guild is already making decisions regarding the next year’s festival.

“I love it when the plan comes together,” Pair said. “... It takes a lot of people to pull it off, and of course Sunday afternoon is always, ‘Whew, we did it.’”

Pair is also excited about the stu dent art display, which features art from Volusia County students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Thanks to The Wessell Founda tion, the students will compete for a total of $4,000 in awards. All in the all, the festival prizes total $27,800.

“The students get really excited about winning some money for their artwork,” Pair said.

And those students could very well be in the festival one day, she added.

“I’ve always been amazed at the quality of the student art,” she said. “Of course, those are the artists of tomorrow, so it’s important to us to encourage the young people in their artwork to continue. And one day, they’ll be the ones that will be going through the jury process and have a booth on Beach Street.”

Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery opens in Ormond

“We got approved very soon, and then we were looking for a good loca tion,” Desai said. “And we found out that Starbucks was actually going to move ... and we thought it was worth waiting for the spot.”

Nothing Bundt Cakes was founded by Debra Shwetz and Dena Tripp in Las Vegas in 1997.

Twenty-five years later, Desai said, there are now almost 500 of the bakeries in the U.S.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

The first time Yamini Desai tasted a bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes, she chose a white chocolate raspberry flavor.

She had bought it for her husband’s birthday, and the family loved it, the Ormond Beach resident recalled. With a bakery near her children’s school in Jacksonville, Nothing Bundt Cakes quickly became Desai’s “go-to gift” for every occasion for the past few years, Desai said. So her husband asked her, “Why not open one in Ormond Beach?”

And that’s what she did.

Desai opened a Nothing Bundt Cakes bakery at the former Star bucks location at 1425 W. Granada Blvd. a couple of weeks ago.

It was an accomplishment two years in the making. She and her husband began working to own a franchise of the bakery during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a new bakery owner, Desai said, she can pick up the phone and call any one of those bakery owners with questions, and they’re all will ing to help her — something she loves about the company.

“I really love the brand,” she said. “I love what they stand for. I love their cultures, their values. They really want us to create those genu ine connections in your community.”

Some of the top flavors of bundt cakes include chocolate chocolate chip, red velvet, white chocolate raspberry — which is still Desai’s favorite — and lemon.

In Ormond Beach, carrot bundt cakes are also pretty popular, Desai has found.

“I love meeting new people and just sharing this delicious cake with everyone,” she said. “We love it because everyone’s typically celebrat ing something. We see happy people all day, which is really nice, and it’s just nice to be part of the celebration.”

Lack of transparency in city government

Dear Editor:

In the Sept. 15 Ormond Beach Observer article on impact fees, com missioner Dwight Selby commented on western growth and the impend ing impact of Avalon Park Daytona.

He said, “We’re going to be wholesaling our water and sewer services to them.”

Citizens have no idea when the City Commission made this decision, or at what public meeting.

Why are we selling Ormond Beach water and sewer services to Daytona Beach to enable the Avalon

Park mega-development, and building a second sewer plant to provide those services?

This impactful decision is the latest in a series of similar City Commission actions taken with little or no public input.

Here are nine other major decisions without citizen input to round out the top 10:

„ Annexation of Plantation Oaks

„ Closing of River Bend Golf Course

„ Extending the airport runway

„ $440,000 for a transportation consultant

„ $340,000 for outside legal coun sel to challenge River Bend tax bill ($271,000)

„ Abolishing the city’s strict land development wetland rules

„ New redesign and reconstruction

names in attendance for this year’s Daytona Beach Festival of Magic,” said Harry Allen, who has operated Daytona Magic in downtown Daytona Beach since 1957. “It’s going to be a great weekend of magic.”

Admission to the convention costs $175 for the entire weekend, with Friday single-day admission at $115 and Saturday single-day admission at $120.

Tickets for the stage shows at the News-Journal Center cost $50 for each night.

FPL, UNITED WAY PARTNER TO BUILD 200 HOMELESS KITS

FPL is partnering with United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties to build and distribute 200 kits for the homeless community.

The kit bags were donated to the Family Life Center, the Volusia/Flagler County Coalition for the Homeless and Family Renew Community.

After Hurricane Ian hit, many families and individuals were forced out of their homes.

of Granada Boulevard

„

New redesign and reconstruction of Ocean Shore Boulevard

„ Purchase and demolition of Ormond Union Church

Additionally, waivers and exemptions for large “planned business developments” are negotiated by staff long before the public hearing process begins.

In theory, government transparency is guaranteed under the Sunshine Law in the Sunshine State.

It appears Ormond Beach elected officials believe they are smarter than the people they represent, leaving citizens in the dark while making final decisions for them, not with them.

STACY DAY Ormond Beach

Editor’s note: During an OB Life meeting in December 2021, city staff reported that the Avalon Park project would move forward wheth er the city provided utilities or not. If the city is unable or unwilling to serve as the utility provider, the city of Daytona Beach will serve as the utility provider. Additionally, the redesign and reconstruction projects of West Granada Boulevard and Ocean Shore Boulevard are FDOT projects.

Ormond Beach Middle School construction ends

According to the Ormond Beach Observer edition from 10 years ago this week ...

„ The construction of Ormond Beach Middle School concluded, and the school district held a ceremonial dedication on Oct. 24. The $47-million school took five years to build and was funded by the district’s

half-cent sales tax. The school was built to have six buildings, a video production studio and classrooms with interactive whiteboards.

„ The Volusia County School Board and Volusia Tax Reform met at Daytona Beach’s Schnebly Recreation Center to debate the merits of the school district’s proposed one-mill property tax increase, which was set to appear on the ballot on Nov. 6, 2012.

These individuals lost everything and are seeking assistance from shelters and the community.

The homeless community needs the same basic items that others take for granted.

The kits contain items such as socks, dental hygiene items, towels, ponchos, soaps and nail clippers.

Denise O’Toole Kelly, development director at Family Renew Community, attended the kit packing event in Volusia County. She told the group:

“Sixteen thousand families are on the edge of being homeless at any given time.

“Any unexpected expense could cause a family to be homeless.

“These families are known as the ALICE [Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed] population, which United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties has data on. We can see these numbers rise because of Hurricane Ian destroying homes.

Angler’s pompano ties Georgia record

Cathy Sanders caught a 1 pound, 7.68 ounce pompano to tie a 40-year-old women’s record in Georgia.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

When Cathy Sanders caught a Florida pompano during a redfish tournament on St. Simons Island, Georgia, she considered eating it. She’s glad she didn’t. It turned out to be a record fish in Georgia.

“All the Georgia people were like, ‘Whoa, we don’t catch those here. We don’t get them that big,’” said Sanders, of Palm Coast. “I just didn’t think too much of it because for Florida, it was not a very big pompano. It was like just barely keeper size for here.”

Instead of bringing it home and eating it, she labeled it and put it in her freezer and looked up the women’s record for Florida pompano in Georgia, which was 1 pound, 7 ounc es by Laura Cheek in 1982. Sanders’ pompano measured 12 inches from the fork in the tail to the snout and weighed 1 pound, 7.68 ounces. Under the rules set by the Georgia Saltwater Game Fish Records Program, any fish exceeding a record by less than four ounc es qualifies as a tie.

So Sanders’ Florida pompa no, which would be one inch longer than the minimum keeper length in Florida, tied a 40-year-old women’s record in Georgia.

Sanders is the first recipient of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ newly designed state record certifi cate, which features an image of the record-setting species, a gold-color embossed state seal, and signatures from the

governor, commissioner of DNR and director of DNR’s Coastal Resources Division.

Sanders, who caught the fish on Oct. 9, received her certificate on Oct. 24. It was her first record catch.

She was surf fishing in a redfish tournament benefit ing the Kids Can Fish Foun dation. Her husband, Andy, was a volunteer judge for the tournament. Hardly anybody was catching redfish, she said.

“There were 177 people fishing, and maybe 20 to 25 people caught redfish in the whole tournament,” Sanders said. “When I wasn’t catching redfish, I started baiting for my friend who lives up in that area in Georgia. He said they catch whiting there all the time, which the redfish love to eat. So I said, ‘Let’s catch some whiting then.’ So I took

one of my lines — we were only allowed two lines in the water — and started baiting it for whiting. I brought my own salted shrimp and Fish bites and stuff. So, I started throwing that out and we started catching whiting left and right.”

The next day was the same. Sanders caught more whit ing for fresh bait for when the redfish would show up. And then all of a sudden, she had a pompano on her line.

“I think right before that I had a pompano on the line too, because my line went slack, which, if you fish down here, you know if your line goes slack you’ve got a pom pano. And then it popped off, which happens all the time with pompano in the wash

Local boy places fourth in tournament

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Palm Coast’s Liam Sugden, 11, caught a 37-inch redfish on Oct. 9, at the Kids Can Fish Founda tion redfish tournament on St. Simons Island, Georgia.

Liam placed fourth in the tournament’s youth division. He was reeling in a 40-pound stingray for 10 minutes when his other rod got a hard bite and he knew that it was a red fish, his mother, Christine Mullen, said.

Liam’s friend, Cullin, helped keep the rod tip up as Liam reeled in the fish, Mullen said. It was Liam’s biggest catch and his first tournament. He’s usually targeting pompano on Flagler County’s beaches, she added.

Record fish caught

and when the waves are com ing up to the shore. It popped off my line, so I threw it back out, and that’s when I caught the record pompano.”

Sanders moved to Flagler County in 2020 from Cen tral New York, where she did freshwater fishing in the Erie Canal and the Thousand Islands area in the St. Law rence River.

“It was more of a hobby that I did every once in a while,” she said. “When we moved down here I saw people fishing on the beach, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah.’”

Late last year, she started

her own business, Fishin’ Girl, where she does surf fishing charters, teaching people how to fish on the beach. And she started an online community for women who love to fish. Her website is fishingirl.com.

The Georgia record pompa no is her best catch ever, she said, because it is record fish and was very unexpected.

“I posted it on my YouTube channel and I was laughing a lot, because none of the locals knew the regulations (for minimum length), and we’re sitting there looking it up, and they’re like, ‘They don’t catch these things here,’” she said. “So it’s just kind of fun to be able to catch something in a place where you know

they don’t really see that type of fish — not at that size, at least.”

Lass David, who said her dog Kiki had gone missing.

On Oct. 23, Animal Control Officer Shelley Burton was tipped off about a new Kiki sighting. Burton set two kennel-style traps — baiting them with fried chicken — covered them with debris, and

waited. By evening, the scent of chicken had drawn the hun gry pooch. Kiki was scared, but Burton set the dog’s mind at ease with a chicken treat.

“Reuniting a pet with their family is an indescribable feeling of joy and happiness,” Burton said.

FESTIVE & FRIGHTENING

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Brandy and David Schoolcraft hosted their ninth-annual Schoolcraft Halloween display to record-breaking crowds this year at their home on Pine Creek Court in Ormond Beach.

Brandy Schoolcraft’s mother, Mar jorie Cutsingers, had a passion for decorating during the holidays. The couple has been carrying her passion on after she died in 2017.

The Schoolcrafts met in 2002 and discovered that both of their moth ers loved to decorate. At that time, they lived in southern Indiana, where inflatables were not ideal to decorate with due to the wind. Instead, they had approximately one million lights spread out on 26 acres between three houses.

“We just want to give something for the community to do, especially here in the past couple years,” Bran dy Schoolcraft said. “They needed

tors from Germany, France, Brazil, South America, Austria, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Russia, Ukraine and Sweden. They had eight cars arrive from Miami, and the occupants asked the Schoolcrafts where else they could enjoy lights. They then created a list of locations and posted it on their Facebook page for those that expressed interest in other light displays.

Many locals have been bringing their children to the display since they were babies and toddlers.

Ormond Beach resident Danielle Caravella has brought her daughter Carmella Scrofano since Carmella was 5. She’s now going to be 14 and dressed as Chuckina, the female ver sion of the horror doll Chucky.

“There’s also a Christmas event and there’s a Santa,” Caravella said. “You can have your picture taken with Santa, and they’re really great photos. They give you a stuffed ani mal and they post it on their Face book page. So it’s really nice for those families that can’t afford Bass Pro Shop ... because the pictures are amazing.”

It’s not just for kids. Adults also get a kick out of the display. The Schoolcrafts have had women that were 104, 94 and 93 years old.

Setup for the Halloween display commences on Sept. 1. This year, the Schoolcrafts were interrupted by Hurricane Ian and had to cover everything as best they could. They were up and running by Oct. 7. The display makes way for Christmas the

day after Halloween. The School crafts would like to have the Christ mas display up by Thanksgiving night, even if it is not fully set up.

In nine years, they have never duplicated a Christmas display, the couple said.

ABC reached out to the School crafts and asked if they would like to participate in “The Great Christmas Light Fight” TV show. They applied for Season 11, but have not yet heard back.

“I told them this isn’t really lights, it is airborn inflatables,” David Schoolcraft said. “I would have thought by now we would have heard something. It’s OK. We don’t intend on changing anything. It was kind of neat to go through that experience, though.”

Donation boxes are standing throughout the displays. The funds are not used for the power bill, which averages $1,000 for the months of October and December, but are used to purchase stuffed animals which are given out during Christmas.

“We pay for the decorations and electricity ourselves,” she said. “The donations, we try to put right back into the community.”

After 19 and a half years, David Schoolcraft retired from firefighting and suffers from PTSD. He got very sentimental when asked to choose a favorite inflatable.

“Now, you know, that’s like choos ing which one of your children you like better,” he said.

After a delayed start due to Hurricane Ian, Brandy and David Schoolcraft host record crowds at their Halloween display.

TEACHING JUNIOR TO FLY Palm Coast artist Dave Bowers’ exhibition, ti tled “Dream Weaving,” opened at Jane’s Arts Center on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

And it’s all about sur realism — an art form that depicts some times unnerving, illogi cal scenes rooted in the subconscious. Bowers, president of the Flagler Beach Photography Club, has been explor ing surrealism.

His piece “Teaching Junior to Fly” is an ex ample of what he has produced.

“I most enjoy us ing my photographic skills as my medium to express, engage and educate,” Bowers said in his artist’s bio. “Pho tography is indeed an art form, for it tells a story for others to in terpret.”

Jane’s Arts Center is located at 199 Down ing St. in New Smyrna Beach. An opening re ception is scheduled for 4-7 p.m. on Satur day, Nov. 5.

PAINTED SKY Christophe Hanckowiak loves capturing the serenity and beauty of nature while engaging people to dive into their emotions and live in the moment, according to his artist statement. A native of France, he moved to the U.S. in 1995 and is a landscape, seascape, abstract and sports photographer.

“Photography is a very relatable art medium,” the statement reads. “It mirrors our reality while also drawing on our emotions. ... It invites everyone

to come up with their own interpretation of it. It asks compelling questions and moves us in a way that is both individual because of our distinct sensitivities and universal because of our shared human connection.”

PLAYOFF BOUND AGAIN

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

For the first time since he injured his knee in the season opener, Mainland offensive lineman Mal colm Curry played for four quarters.

His knee was sore at the end, but that didn’t stop him from toting the Mainland-Seabreeze game trophy up and down the sideline after the Bucs defeated the rival Sandcrabs for the 12th straight time.

Mainland’s 51-22 victory on Oct. 28 at Daytona Stadium clinched the district championship and guaran teed the Bucs a trip to the playoffs for the 29th consecutive year.

“It’s a testament to what our coaches put them through in prac tice. We make it hard on them, and the kids responded tonight,” Main land coach Travis Roland said.

Mainland quarterback Damarcus Creecy threw for 267 yards and five touchdowns and ran for 116 yards.

“The key for us was staying focused through all the talking on the inter net, all the outsiders talking,” Curry said. “We just stayed focused and played our game.”

James Randle caught his first of two touchdown passes with 22 sec onds left in the first half to put the Bucs ahead 22-9. Mainland then dominated the second half, tak ing advantage of three consecutive Seabreeze turnovers.

“For 22 minutes, we had real good focus,” Seabreeze coach Pat Brown said. “That last drive (of the first half) by Mainland, we had a couple of mental busts in the back end that led to them scoring. It kind of flipped the

Mincey and Drayden Wood. The Bucs also recovered a Seabreeze fumble off a bad snap in the end zone to take a 44-16 lead with 8:02 left.

Creecy’s fifth touchdown pass of the night, a 36-yard strike to Ajai Harrell, made it 51-16 less than two minutes later.

Drew McNerney booted a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter to pull the Sandcrabs within a touch down at 16-9. Hayden Hayes tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass Eli Camp bell with 3:01 left in the game to close the scoring.

“We had some opportunities in the first half,” Brown said. “We dropped a wheel route. We missed on a post corner that was open for a touch down. The focus went down a little bit, the spirit went down when we

Swimmer Lucy Noble thrives on competition

Lucy Noble has never backed down from a challenge.

That’s why the Flagler Palm Coast swimmer will be competing in the 100-yard backstroke at the Class 4A state championships on Nov. 5 in Stuart.

Noble, who specializes in the free style sprint events, will also swim in the 50-yard freestyle in her final high school state meet. Last year, she fin ished 13th in 50 free and was 17th in 100 free at state. But at the beginning of this season, when it came time to pick her two events, Noble picked the backstroke over the 100 free.

Croquet club competes in Friendship Cup

Four members of the Grand Haven Croquet Club traveled to Chesapeake Bay, Virginia to compete in an international golf croquet tournament on Oct. 20-23.

Dorothy Silliman placed second in the first flight among 40 women competing in the Women’s International Friendship Cup Golf Croquet Tournament, hosted by the Chesapeake Bay Croquet Club.

Also competing with Silliman from the Grand Haven club were Kathie Gamble, Mijai Pagano and Nancy Crouch.

“She’s so versatile, she can swim all four strokes well,” FPC coach Tom Gillin said.

In fact, she owns the Bulldogs’ school records in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard but terfly. Gillin believes her future in college — she will swim at Eastern Michigan University next year — is the individual medley.

The 100 backstroke was not really on her radar until she lost a close race to DeLand’s Anna Monette in a dual meet last year. Monette was the top backstroker in the area. Monette beat Noble under water on the turns. Instead of moving on and concen trating on her regular events, Noble studied film of the race.

At the Five Star Conference meet, she said she wanted to swim in the 100 back to get another shot at Monette. This time, Noble won the event, reversing the tables on Monette.

“Lucy beat her under water. It was an exciting race,” Gillin said. “She

was really motivated to work her walls better. I think that gave her the confidence that the backstroke can be one of her best events.”

Noble is the only FPC swimmer to qualify for state this year. She finished third in the 100 back and fourth in the 50 free at the Region 1-4A meet on Oct. 29. She enters state seeded ninth in 50 free with a time 24.14 seconds and 12th in the backstroke at 58.57 seconds.

She is in the mix to reach the A finals (top eight in preliminaries) in both events.

“She wants to break 24 (in the 50 free),” Gillin said. “She’s one of those swimmers that doesn’t seem to get nervous. She enjoys the competi tion.”

Indeed, at state last year she tied for 17th in preliminaries in the 100 free with Creekside’s Kylie White. No. 17 in the alternate to get into the B final in the unlikely event that one of the swimmers drops out. Noble and White were given the option of a coin flip or a swim-off to decide the alternate spot.

“Lucy said, ‘Let’s swim off.’ She swam about a second and a half fast er than her prelim time a half hour earlier,” Gillin said. “She just races whoever’s next to her. She’s the same way in lifeguard competitions. She’s always someone you like to put at the end of a relay.

“She’s a diamond in the rough. The next four years, she’s going to keep dropping her times. I don’t know if the Eastern Michigan coach knows what he’s getting.”

Flagler Bulldogs Youth Football teams advance

Two Flagler Bulldogs Youth Football teams won their divisions at the Mid Florida Football and Cheerleading Conference District Championship on Oct. 30 in Winter Haven.

The Flagler Bulldogs 8U team defeated the Winter Haven Wolverines 14-13. The Flagler Bulldogs 12U team won 35-0.

Both teams will advance in the playoffs. Their next games will be on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Winter Haven against the North Tampa Uptown Eagles.

The Flagler Bulldogs 6U team has also advanced and will play the Tampa Ravens on Nov. 6 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.

The Bulldogs’ 10U also had a successful season, but lost in the first round to the Wolverines.

Ricshay Nelson, the Flagler Bulldogs president, and Ashley Perkins, the head administrator, said the teams would not be successful without the support of the coaches, team moms and parents.

FPC boys cross country team eyes strong finish

The Bulldogs have advanced to state as a team for the first time since 2014.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Flagler Palm Coast’s boys cross country team is back.

For the first time since 2014, the Bulldogs have qualified as a team for the state championships.

FPC will be competing in the Class 4A race Saturday, Nov. 5, at Apalachee Regional Park in Talla hassee.

“The kids are excited,” FPC coach Dave Halliday said. “It’s kind of been a rebuilding process since the pan demic. In 2020 we didn’t make it out of district, but we had a whole bunch of freshmen and sophomores, and those kids are on the cusp of definitely finishing in the top 15. But they’re shooting for top 10 in 4A, which is the best of the best.”

The Bulldogs placed sixth in the toughest region in the state on Oct. 29. Four of the five teams that fin ished ahead of them placed among the top 10 at state last year.

Earlier this season, FPC finished second at the Spikes and Spurs Clas sic and won three events, including the Five Star Conference champion ship. The key to the Bulldogs’ suc cess this season has been their depth.

Sophomore Braedyn Wormeck was the Bulldogs’ top runner early in the season, but he has been out since undergoing an appendectomy in late September. He has returned to prac tice and could run at the state meet, Halliday said. While he was out, the team rallied behind him.

“It was kind of the turning point for the team,” Halliday said. “When that happened, everyone knew they had to step up. The boys are all very close. They wanted to step up for him.”

Junior Justin Gilliam led the Bull dogs with a personal record time of 16:22.9 to finish 16th overall at the

Region 1-4A meet in Gainesville.

Four other Bulldogs finished in 17:15 or under — Hayden Herndon (28th, 16:44.0), Barak Olago (34th, 16:50.6), Brandon Kalasnik (47th, 17:01.8) and Peyton Woodward (59th, 17:15.0).

Every race for Gilliam is a triumph.

Shortly before school started last year, he was hit by a car while he was running on his own. He rolled over the car’s hood and suffered a broken arm. Four weeks later, he ran in a meet.

“He was shaken,” Halliday said. “It definitely hit his psyche. When they get a challenge, you have to show them there’s an opportunity coming out of that challenge. It’s a big story for him to overcome that. It’s been fun seeing him grow.”

The FPC program has overcome its own challenges. Under former coach Peter Hopfe, the Bulldogs won boys

cross country state championships in 2001 and 2002 and were runnersup in 2003. They added a third state championship in 2005 and a runnerup finish the following year under Halliday, who is now in his 19th year with the program.

But in the past 10 years, just get ting out of their district and region have been tough. They finished ninth at state in 2012 and 12th in 2014. In 2015, Justin Pacifico was the indi vidual state runner-up.

This team’s strength this year is that it has no standouts.

“We have four guys who have been No. 1 at one point,” Halliday said. “They understand that it’s not about the individual, it’s about the team. If one beats the other, and you both run your best time, that’s OK.”

MATANZAS, SEABREEZE BOYS AND GIRLS QUALIFY

The Matanzas boys and girls teams, the Seabreeze boys and girls teams and the Father Lopez boys team also qualified for the state champion ships in Tallahassee.

Matanzas and Seabreeze will be

competing in the Class 3A races, while Lopez will run in the Class 1A race.

The Pirates’ girls team finished seventh and boys were eighth at the Region 1-3A meet. Nina Rodriguez led the Matanzas girls with a 23rdplace finish in a time of 20:32.6. Sierra Howard was 35th in 21:23.9. Christian Norfolk (41st, 17:40) and Blaine Vogel (47th, 17:53.3) led the Matanzas boys.

The Seabreeze boys team finished seventh and the girls team was eighth at the Region 2-3A meet. Three Seabreeze girls finished among the top 15: Mackenzie Roy (10th, 20:33), Ariana Roy (11th, 20:34) and Nick ole Dane (13th, 20:43). Tyler Lewis (28th, 18:12) and Hunter Shuler (34th, 18:29) led the Seabreeze boys.

The Father Lopez boys fin ished second at the Region 2-1A race with brothers Andrew Gazzoli (fifth, 16:54.8) and Matthew Gaz zoli (eighth, 17:03.7) leading the way.

Talon Spires was 12th in 17:23.5.

FPC’s girls did not advance with a 12th-place finish at region. Cassidy De Young led the Bulldogs with a time of 20:29 to finish 35th. Arianna Slaughter was 40th in 20:36.2.

had (three straight) turnovers.”

Mainland (6-2) snapped Seabreeze’s four-game win streak. The Sandcrabs (4-5) still have a slim shot of joining the Bucs in the play offs if they can beat North Marion (6-3) on the road Friday, Nov. 4, in their final regular-season game.

Heading into the Mainland game, Seabreeze was ranked 11th in the region, with four district champs and four at-large teams moving on to the postseason. Only one of the three region teams ranked immedi ately ahead of the Sandcrabs lost on Oct. 28.

“We’ve got one more game for sure, and then we’ll see where the point system ends up,” Brown said. “It’s so hard to even calculate that. It’s kind of like a secret. But if we beat North Marion, which is a playoffcaliber team, that would help us.”

Mainland’s Ty Richmond (7) stands with the other captains during the coin toss.
