Jordan Hobson starts ‘Then and Now’ project to capture Ormond history
JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR
The area around the Tomoka basin was Jordan Hobson’s stomping ground when he was growing up. It was his grandfather’s favorite place, and, over the years, Hobson has taken to exploring it as much as possible — and documenting as much of it as he can. “Not a lot is taught about local history, and we live in an area in Florida that happens to be rich — the east coast of Florida is rich in local history,” Hobson said. About four months ago, the Holly Hill resident began a “Then and Now” project where he researches local historic photographs and revisits the pictured site to capture how it stands today. He’s compiled about 15 photographs in the series so far, mainly from the Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach area.

It’s a labor of love for the “amateur historian,” as Hobson calls himself, and he frequently posts his photo comparisons in Facebook groups dedicated to remembering and discussing local history. In November, Hobson also decided to join the Halifax
Historical Society, and at 33 years old, he’s one of the group’s youngest members. A ‘MINI-TIME CAPSULE’
One of his favorite “Then and Now” photographs in his project is the one about the lost causeway, a sec-

OBPD investigate Sanchez Park fire Ormond Beach Police are hopeful that evidence collected at Sanchez Park after a fire damaged a jungle gym, pieces of vinyl fencing, a swing and a plastic car on Wednesday, Dec. 15, will lead to at least one suspect. According to a press release by OBPD, officers arrived at the park, located at 329 Sanchez Avenue, at around 7:39 a.m. Ormond Beach firefighters were already on the scene extinguishing the fire, which police believe to have been intentionally set. Damages are estimated to cost the city $50,000; the city does plan to replace it. The playground was a memorial to Cameron Brenneman, a 12-year-old Ormond Beach Middle School student who was killed in a car crash in 2012. The plaque installed at Sanchez Park details that Cameron “spent many hours fishing, riding his bike and enjoying nature in Sanchez Park with his friends.” People who may have information about the incident should contact contact Officer Marianne Mele at marianne.mele@ ormondbeach.org.

The parcel is located next to AdventHealth Daytona Beach on Williamson Boulevard.
First United Methodist Church of Ormond Beach announced it sold 42 acres of a 75-acre parcel on Williamson Boulevard to Bridgepoint LLC on Monday, Dec. 20. The parcel, located next to AdventHealth Daytona Beach, sold for $6.6 million, according to the Volusia County property appraiser. The church purchased the parcel in 2000 for $2.4 million. “Twenty years ago, First United had the foresight to purchase property in the undeveloped area on Williamson between Granada and LPGA with plans for the future,” said Senior Pastor Scott Smith in a press release. “We are excited that for such a time as this we can create a place and a space for people to connect with God
and each other.” The plan is to use the remaining 35 acres of the parcel for The Gathering Place, a new church affiliated with First United Methodist Church. The Gathering Place was created on April 4, and hosted its first in-person service on Sept. 19. It currently meets at Westside Elementary School, located at 1700 Fifth St., Daytona Beach. According to the press release, The Gathering Place’s mission is to “rediscover ways to meaningfully encounter God and neighbor by gathering differently, welcoming everybody, and loving abundantly.” But the church has no plans to build a traditional church campus on the parcel, said Amy Armistead, pastor of The Gathering Place.
“Instead, we plan to build a multiuse structure on the property that will serve local residents and the Gathering Place community,” she said. The press release continues by stating The Gathering Place has focused on “going outside the walls of a conventional church,” by hosting unique Sunday services such as “Kayaks and Communion” at Tomoka State Park as well as “Healing Hikes” at local trails. Bridgepoint LLC, the company which purchased the 42 acres of land from First United Methodist Church, is based out of Tennessee, according to its website. It is identified as North Willamson Partners LLC on the property’s deed.

Volusia County recently announced that the Highbridge Boat Ramp in Ormond Beach will close beginning Thursday, Jan. 6, for improvements. The upgrades include the replacement of walkways and two floating docks. The boat ramp wiill be closed to all vehicles and pedestrians during construction. The county expects the work to be completed by summer 2022.
Second arrest in vandalism case Ormond Beach Police arrested a second man in relation to the recent series of antisemitic vandalism incidents in town on Dec. 14. Jeremy Imbler, of Ormond Beach, along with Daniel Howard McGinnis, has been charged with criminal mischief for placing antisemitic stickers and graffiti on city-owned property. Imbler said the symbols were of personal meaning to him and that he has no intentions of harming Jewish people, according to his arrest report, which also details Imbler dressed up as a rabbi for at least one of the vandalism incidents. “This type of behavior, and targeting our citizens with hate, will not be tolerated in Ormond Beach,” OBPD wrote on Facebook.

Remembering their legacy Wreaths Across America ceremonies held in Ormond Beach

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Live up to their legacy. Gen. James C. McConville, chief of staff of the United States Army, included those words in a quote to journalist Chris Wallace last year. The simple, reverent statement uttered by the highest-ranking officer and military adviser in the country resonated with Karen Worcester, the co-founder of National Wreaths Across America Day. It became the theme for 2021. The Worcester Wreath Company had been delivering excess wreaths to place on the Arlington National Cemetery gravestones since 1992 before officially becoming the Wreaths Across America nonprofit organization in 2008. Today, in its 14th year, wreath-laying ceremonies are now held in over 2,700 locations across the United States, Puerto Rico and at multiple oversees cemeteries. As a designated WAA city, Ormond Beach was able to host two larger ceremonies, one at Hillside Cemetery and the second one at Volusia Memorial Park. Volunteers also placed Stellar Taylor and Lily Thompson sing the national anthem.
Vincent Cue led the invocation and prayers.

wreaths at Gethsemane Cemetery and Pilgrims Rest. The Capt. James Ormond Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, hosted its wreath-laying event at 10 a.m. Dee Clark, the location coordinator for the chapter, reminded everyone of the purpose at hand to remember the fallen, honor those that served and their families and teach the value of freedom to the next generation. There was a moment of silence before Bree’Shawn Watson played the trumpet. Zone 4 Commissioner Rob Littleton presented Lee Thornton, Regent Captain of the Captain James Ormond Chapter, with Mayor Bill Partington’s official proclamation declaring December 18, 2021 as National Wreaths Across America Day. “I’m humbled to be here today,” Littleton said. “The city is also grateful to be part of it.” Volusia County Councilwoman Heather Post joked with Clark and Thornton regarding completing her DAR paperwork when she retires, then somberly explained the meaning of the day for her. “I see a few children in the audience today,” she said. “I think that’s really the point of why we need to do these things. So we do pass on this message, we do pass on this legacy and that they truly remember why we have the freedoms that we have.” At noon, the Veterans Assistance Coalition kicked off their wreathlaying ceremony at the Volusia Memorial Park. After 30 seconds of silence, Vincent Cue led the crowd
in prayer followed by the American Legion Post 120 of Holly Hill posting the colors. “All these people have shown up and they’re here for a very great and solemn occasion,” Cue said. “We are just loving life as it is and grateful to have a reason to come out and celebrate.” The day before the ceremony, a semi-truck arrived at the memorial park with 244 boxes of fresh, balsamfir wreaths. The Veterans Assistance Coalition had reached their goal of purchasing 2,000 wreaths. With an abundance of volunteers, it was only a short amount of time before the boxes were distributed throughout the cemetery and ready for the Veterans wreath-laying ceremony. “A person dies twice,” said Jim Kreinest, the master of ceremonies. “Once when they take their last breath and once when their name is spoken the last time, when nobody remembers them any more.”
Lee Thornton, regent of the Captain James Ormond Beach Chapter, NSDAR, reminded everyone to remember, honor and teach.

On Tuesday, Dec. 14, Volusia County Council members approved an ordinance adopting new council boundaries that will be in effect for the next decade. Known as plan FI-5B, the ordinance approved on Tuesday officially delineates the new boundaries for the Council’s five districts. The redistricting process, which the county must undertake every 10 years after each national Census, is designed to keep the districts as close in population as possible to ensure equal representation. The new boundaries will take effect for County Council elections starting next year. The five council members who serve in the district seats must live within their district and are elected by voters within those districts. The other two members of the County Council — the County Chair and the At-Large member — are elected by voters countywide.
Ten years ago, when the county last went through the redistricting process, the population of the five council districts ranged from 98,043 to 100,212. With Volusia County’s growth over the last decade, the population of the districts will now range from 110,054 to 111,217. Plan FI-5B was among 20 proposed maps that the council considered. In addition to maintaining population parity, the redistricting process also was guided by a series of goals established by the council, such as preserving municipal boundaries when possible, keeping intact large concentrations of minority populations and not splitting communities that have geographically connected populations and share common social and economic interests. While the Council actually selected the new map last month, county staff had the arduous task of creating a very specific legal description of the new boundaries to include in Tuesday’s ordinance — a description which fills approximately 40 pages of the ordinance. “This is the culmination of our redistricting process that we started back in January of this year,” Assistant County Attorney Sebrina Slack said. “The ordinance now takes that map and translates it into a boundary description and sets forth all of the census information into the ordinance itself.” Tuesday’s council vote to approve the redistricting ordinance was unanimous.

COPS CORNER DEC. 9
CAUGHT IN A LIE 8:45 p.m. — 100 block of West Granada Boulevard Filing a false report. A 22-year-old food delivery driver who claimed her rented car was stolen was charged with filing a false police report after she was found driving the “stolen” vehicle in another city a few days later. The woman told police that she had stolen the vehicle from her friend, who had rented the vehicle for her to use while working for the food delivery app. Police also found her to be in possession of 117 grams of marijuana, which she admitted to selling.
DEC. 15
FAKE BADGE 6:52 p.m. — 100 block of West Granada Boulevard Disturbance. A 51-year-old Daytona Beach man allegedly flashed a tin foil badge at an Ormond Beach resident after the man accused the resident of stealing his motorized bike. According to the incident report, the resident was walking down Granada Boulevard when the man, who was in a pickup truck, stopped him. The resident told the man that he found the bike on the side of the road months ago, and asked the man if he could provide a proof of ownership. If he did, the resident said he would give him the bike. However, the man then tried to take the bike by force, at which point he flashed his wallet and said, “Would you disobey an order from a public officer?” The wallet was left behind, and police attempted to make contact with the man. His driver’s license was not valid, so police placed it in records. The reporting officer determined nothing criminal appeared to have occurred.

during the American Revolution. The road, now hidden in Florida brush, runs through marshy John’s Island, located between the Tomoka River and the Thompson and Strickland creeks. The causeway, with its mysterious origins, captivated the Facebook groups Hobson showcased the photographs in, because many had never heard of it before. Among his notable photographs are those of the Fagen Oak, a historic tree on the Three Chimneys Sugar Mill and Rum Distillery archeological site in Ormond Beach. The tree is over 150 years old, and Hobson was able to find a photo of
a 1915 postcard featuring the tree — but with a “tree house,” built by Ormond Beach pioneer Billy Fagen who set up a tourist attraction at the Three Chimneys property known as Camp Fagen, according to the Ormond Beach Historical Society’s website. The attraction had a small museum, a couple alligators from Hotel Ormond and the platform so visitors could see the ocean. Hobson hopes his photo project serves like a “minitime capsule” for future generations. “Those pictures never leave,” he said. “They never go away. People will find them.” CAPTURING HISTORY

son is constantly seeing how the community is changing. Growth is impossible to halt, he said, but that’s why he stresses the importance of preserving local history. “It’s a little different than them just telling you or writing it out, but if you visually put it in front of somebody, I think that’s what really captures them,” he said. “It definitely takes them back.” Hobson believes local history needs to be taught more in schools, and at the same time, longtime residents need to take it upon themselves to try to get newcomers interested in the subject — entice them to reach out to the historical societies in the area and visit the various museums. “That’s why I like to put this stuff out there — get some younger folks interested in it, and not just worry about what’s going on around the world,” Hobson said. “There’s a lot that happens right here at home.”
“Not a lot is taught about local history, and we live in an area in Florida that happens to be rich — the east coast of Florida is rich in local history.” JORDAN HOBSON

LETTERS More pressing issues Dear Editor: While I see the same community issues brought up again and again in the letters section of the local papers, I think the most concerning issue facing our community today lies in our kids. As you hopefully know, the recent rise of easily concealable and used “e-cigs” and “vapes” has virtually reversed all pre-2000s declines in drug use among youth, something anecdotally is seen here locally. The
casual use of such allows for easy introduction, and while it does not guarantee, is a gateway into marijuana which is just as concealable in vapes. Think of the innocent kids that have to witness this within classrooms, yet aren’t willing to say anything about it. Think of the societal damage this will cause as more and more teens use such to cope with the recent rise in mental illness largely blamed on the advent of the internet and social media, something we didn’t grow up with.
I’ve heard that middle schools, such as Ormond Beach Middle School, are just as bad as high schools. There’s even been stories of fifth graders getting their hands on this — that’s fifth grade, folks. Elementary school is still “safe,” but it goes to show the nature of the issue being the stealthy usage of drugs through vapes, which has brought drug use in middle school to new levels that weren’t really possible before. Of course, we can’t let society’s new ills get us down. Instead, use it to fight for change,
while always staying optimistic. For us readers who aren’t in school and are older, this issue is not as obvious as it may seem, but it is slowly harming society nationwide in a number of ways in which you could guess, more so, than say physical city developments or ordinances. Ask your kids, talk to teachers, look up the statistics, and be aware of the issue. Really, I wonder what can be done. BARBRA RAWLINGS Ormond Beach

YOUR TOWN SECURITY FIRST GIVES BACK Security First Insurance has sponsored over 30 local charities this year. This includes donating to the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties’ Jerry Doliner Food Bank, providing 92 children with toys via EasterSeals’ toy drive and donating to Provision Packs, as well as collecting nonperishable foods for the organization. In addition, the local company continued its tradition of giving each of its 425 employees a $25 Publix gift card. “Showing support for families in our community through these impactful organizations is just one of many ways that Security First Insurance demonstrates that giving is good for the soul and the community — especially during the holidays,” a press release states. “In addition to financial donations, we provide support through our continued involvement in local events and volunteerism in the hopes of creating meaningful and positive change in the lives of Floridians — those we call colleagues, neighbors, friends, family.”
SUPPORTING PROVISION PACKS Thanks to the community’s support, Provision Packs recently received a $10,000 donation from O’Quinn Insurance Services. The award, according to a press release, will support the nonprofit’s fresh fruit and vegetable fund to ensure enough resources are in place for children to receive fresh fruits or vegetables every week. Andrew Van der Burgt, principal of O’Quinn Insurance, originally received a $5,000 donation for Provision Packs thanks to Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance’s 2021 Make More Happen Awards. Then, a story of the partnership was posted on the Make More Happen microsite, and through an awareness campaign, an additional $5,000 were raised.

CALLED TO ACTION: HONOR FOR GRIMES Ormond Beach Police Officer Courtney Grimes was recognized by the Ormond Beach City Commission on Dec. 8, after she helped a citizen change her tire on her day off. Grimes, who began her career
Sandall, who will be leaving MOAS at the end of the year. She most recently served as the president of the Museum of Science and History in Jacksonville, a position she held until August 2020. According to a press release, throughout her time at MOSH, Hane renovated exhibits and led a multi-year research and community input process that led to a capital campaign to fund the development of a new museum in the city’s downtown. “I’m honored to serve as the interim Director at MOAS,” said Hane in the press release. “The Museum campus is an amazing asset for the region and it’s exciting to be a part of the MOAS team. Andrew is leaving an impressive legacy of leadership and I’m thrilled for the opportunity to carry it forward while the board searches for the next Museum Director to take the helm. I am passionate about museums and their role in communities, and look forward to being a part of the Daytona Beach community.” Hane will begin as interim executive director at MOAS at the start of the New Year and remain for at least six months while the museum embarks on a national search for the next executive director.
It’s a real quality of life issue that affects everyone. And that’s why Volusia County government has a team of 28 professionals devoted to reducing nuisance mosquitoes and the risk of mosquito-borne illness in the county. And now, the team at the county’s Mosquito Control Division has a new leader. On Tuesday, Dec. 14, the

The student, Judi Rosen, was stuck on the side of the interstate as it grew dark outside, and roadside assistance was hours away.
Rosen hoped someone would sit with her while she waited, but Grimes and her father instead located her and changed her tire themselves. The mayor presented her with a proclamation for her “act of kindness and selfless display of compassion.”
Volusia County Council confirmed U.S. Navy veteran and entomologist Marcus McDonough as the county’s new mosquito control director. McDonough replaces former Mosquito Control Director Suzanne Bartlett, who retired in October after serving Volusia County since 2014 and another 28 years before that with Pinellas County.
“I’m very excited,” McDonough said. “I met with several of the staff yesterday and they seemed absolutely wonderful. I’m ready to get started and work with that great staff to continue the great work that they do for this county.” McDonough is scheduled to report to work on Jan. 10, 2022.
Marcus McDonough
McDonough brings 15 years of experience as an entomologist working to control ornamental, urban and vector pests. He was a nursery inspector and compliance officer for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for almost five years. McDonough also served as an entomologist for the U.S. Navy since 2011. His duties there included reviewing integrated pest management plans for the Department of Defense, developing innovative pest surveillance and management strategies and working with universities to identify new pest management products for military use. McDonough also led a team of entomologists and preventive medicine technicians that worked to control pests and vectors on military installations and ships throughout the world and served as a subject matter expert to foreign governments on behalf of the Navy in order to share best management practices and experiences involving pest management and public health.
ERAU STUDENTS AIM FOR MARS In addition to the EagleCam project, which challenged students to build a camera system to document mankind’s return to the moon in 2022, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University students are taking part in yet another outer space mission — this time, building hardware that will be launched to Mars, as part of a $55 million NASA mission. Dubbed the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers mission, the project aims to prove that spacecraft meant to explore other planets can be built, tested and launched for less than $80 million, and still accurately record complex scientific data. Similar NASA science missions in the past have exceeded $500 million in cost. “The critical thing is that students are working hands-on to build hardware that will actually be launched into space,” said Dr. Aroh Barjatya, professor of Engineering Physics. “Soon, Embry-Riddle students will have equipment they helped build destined for the moon, and for satellites orbiting Earth and around Mars. That’s incredible.” The ESCAPADE spacecraft, integrated with Eagle-built hardware, will likely reach the red planet and be exploring its atmosphere and interaction with solar wind by 2026.
ICI HOMES DONATES SHOES, SOCKS TO FBH ICI Homes employees recently collected 282 pairs of shoes and 466 pairs of socks to donate to Food Brings Hope students, according to a press release. Through this donation, KidsZone and TeenZone sponsors were able to choose 15-20 pairs of shoes as well as a bagful of socks for their students, which will help them start the new school semester in January with new shoes. “This outpouring of support each year truly expresses the care and concern that ICI Home’s employees have for their community’s children,” Food Brings Hope Executive Director Judi Winch said.

For its portion of the research, Embry-Riddle has been granted a nearly $1 million subcontract. The mission is led by the University of California, Berkeley, with the University of California, Los Angeles also participating. The spacecraft is being built by RocketLabs. “The project is also teaching students a lot about the radiation preparedness required for electronics to go into deep space, and Aerospace Corporation are graciously helping us test out some commercial parts” Barjatya said. To test that component of the work, Barjatya and engineering physics doctoral candidate Henry Valentine traveled to Aerospace Corporation, a leading federally funded research and development center for space, in California to conduct radiation testing on critical components of their instrument. “What surprised me is how well the ‘cheap’ commercial components performed,” Valentine said. “Space missions have the well-earned stigma of being costly, but it’s cool to see that a $50 component may perform consistently in harsh conditions where a $5,000 component that does the same thing would otherwise be required. I feel like it bodes well for the future and accessibility of space missions.” Valentine, who has been working primarily in analog design for the project in Embry-Riddle’s Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Lab, cited the wide scope of the work as the most rewarding part of his participation so far. “We’ve had the opportunity to design our instrument from scratch,” he said. “That comes with a lot of personal challenges and discoveries, but it’s super cool to see a project through nearly all stages of development: from initial conceptual design, to prototyping and testing, to finalizing the design and procuring flight-hardware.” But the work is never easy. “The biggest challenge is always identifying, locating and fixing small design or fabrication mistakes,” he said. “It plagues every engineer, and the only way to combat it is to scrutinize every aspect of your design, maintain a high attention to detail and always get someone else to check your work.” Other students involved in ESCAPADE, and their areas of focus, include doctoral candidates Nathan Graves, digital design and software, and Rachel Conway, radiation modelling and data analysis; master’s in engineering physics student Anthony Oreo, who built a subset of the instrument; and engineering physics undergrad Peter Ribbens, who works in mechanical sensor construction. Additionally, Dr. Robert Clayton, also of the College of Arts and Sciences, serves as the research associate.

15th-annual Holidays at The Casements brings Christmas cheer
T
he Moonlighters, Daytona Beach’s big band led by Joe Mirante, played “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” to a large crowd as Mr. and Mrs. Claus strolled onto Rockefeller Gardens’ north lawn during the Holidays at The Casements celebration on Thursday, Dec. 16. The city of Ormond Beach’s Department of Leisure Services has been hosting the event for 15 years in collaboration with The Casements Guild. Susan Hansen, a docent of the Guild, was on-hand to give tours and answer questions about the historic house during the event. She has been part of the Guild for seven years and just finished her tenure as president of the organization. She turned over the reins to Linda Powell this year. “I have passion for the house,” Hansen said. “It’s not just the house, it’s the neighborhood. We really like to be the ambassadors for the neighborhood.” The symbiotic relationship between Leisure Services and The Casements Guild has pro-
pelled the site to the forefront of interest amongst locals and visitors alike. “It is the best,” Hansen said. “I’ve worked for the government for years. This is the first government-volunteer relationship that is not only collaborative, but we are friends. We visit each other. We know what’s going on in each other’s families, who’s having babies and who is doing this or that.” People were invited to tour The Casements at 6 p.m., then have a seat outside as they helped themselves to holiday goodie boxes and beverages. The Moonlighters continued to play holiday favorites throughout the night as children recited a list of requests and adults had their pictures taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the gazebo. “I am a 21-year Ormond Beach resident and have never been to The Casements for this Christmas event,” Linda Gruber said. “I’ve gone to the summer concerts but now I’m going to make a point of going to Casement events.” –MICHELE MEYERS

State wildlife officials defended an emergency order that expands how far threatened gopher tortoises can be relocated as booming development continues in Florida. But members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission suggested lawmakers might need to be asked to beef up fines for people who cover up gopher tortoise nests or try to move the reptiles without permission. Commissioners, meeting Wednesday, Dec. 15, at The Henderson resort in Destin, directed staff members to review the various penalties, which would need legislative approval to change. They also backed a 90-day executive order issued Nov. 18 that allows “recipient” sites to be more than 100 miles from where the creatures initially dug their homes. The executive order is related to a surge in construction. The 100-mile limit was designed to prevent tortoises from being shifted into different climates, and the change in the executive order has drawn concerns from conservationists. Elise Bennett, senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, pointed to “reckless development that’s caused the shortage of recipient sites.” “When the availability of adequate habitat becomes a problem for the species, the response should never be to lessen the protections that already exist, even on a case-bycase basis,” Bennett said.
FLORIDA, TEXAS SEE LARGEST POPULATION INCREASES Florida trailed only Texas in population increases from 2020 to 2021, while the nation had the slowest growth rate in its history, according to information released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. Florida grew by 211,196 residents from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021, to a population of 21,781,128, the census estimates show. Texas grew by an estimated 310,288 residents to a population of 29,527,941. California continued to have the nation’s largest population at 39,237,836, though it lost a net 261,902 residents from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021. New York saw the largest decline of 319,020 residents, with its population dropping below 20 million, according to the census bureau. While areas of the country continued to see significant population increases, the nation’s growth rate was 0.1 percent, the lowest rate ever. The census bureau said that stemmed from a combination of factors, including COVID-19 deaths.

Momentum was evasive for the Mainland High School girls basketball team, as Orlando Dr. Phillips handed the Buccaneers a 74-40 defeat Dec. 17 to end the Bucs’ threegame win streak. Drives to the hoop by guards Nyasia James and Tia Dobson helped Mainland take an early 5-0 lead. But the Panthers regained their shooting prowess and shifted the direction of the game, taking a convincing 39-25 halftime lead. Mainland (7-4) kept the pressure on Dr. Phillips (9-5), even as the deficit grew, never losing sight of the game plan. The Panthers’ leading scorer, Asiana Govan, dropped two 3-pointers in the third quarter and finished with four. The Panthers drilled seven 3-pointers in the game, while the Bucs had four. Mainland was unable to cut the deficit to single digits in the second half. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” assistant coach Shana Cox said. “I think it was a good test (for) us. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board and come back out ready for the next game. We knew Phillips was going to come in and truly test us. I think we could have been a little more aggres-

Palm Coast Ford has over 500 vehicles on their lot to dispose of immediately! All you have to do is pay one dollar down (to make it legal) and take over the payments directly from the bank. These are Brand New Ford vehicles plus over 300 Pre-Owned vehicles, brought here courtesy of the bank that Palm Coast Ford has been contracted with to sell immediately.
ONE DOLLAR DOWN IS ALL YOU PAY TO TAKE OVER THE PAYMENTS FROM THE BANK! Do you want a $129 payment with $1 down? Do you want a $150 payment with $1 down? Do you want a $199 payment with $1 down? Pick the vehicle that fits your budget! The bank owns these cars, trucks and vans - Palm Coast Ford is the site that have selected to sell them. Remember, THESE ARE NOT BANK REPOS! These are brand new and preowned vehicles shipped here from around the country, made possible by the bank, to dispose of immediately! Bring ONE DOLLAR for the bank and bring your trade to our store! All prices on new or pre-owned vehicles are plus tax, tag and $899 dealer fee.
