The measure would prohibit classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade. For older students, the bill would bar such instruction that is “not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate” as determined by state academic standards. Opponents said the wording is vague enough that lawsuits could follow any mention of gender or orientation, even at upper grade levels.

Rising gas prices force some to change their driving habits Pain at the pump has some drivers beginning to adjust their driving habits. Last week’s average price for gasoline in Florida was $3.57 per gallon. According to AAA’s survey, 54% would change their driving behaviors at that price — and it’s soared past $4 since then. Eighteen percent said their habits would never change.

A rendering showing what the proposed signage would look like for 100 W. Granada Blvd.

Ormond Beach developer Bill Jones is seeking special exception requests for his two latest projects in the downtown. The Planning Board will review them on Thursday, March 10. The first request is for a 25-squarefoot sign for Neighborhood Scoop, the future ice cream parlor at 100 West Granada Boulevard. Per the city’s staff report, the property was last used as a gas station convenience store and has been vacant since the mid 2000s. It was originally slated to become the new Pumphouse barbecue restaurant, but Jones purchased the former dry cleaning building at 124 W. Granada Boulevard and moved the restaurant project there. The project coordinator told city staff that they are seeking the exception because signage would other-

wise be obstructed due to the building’s exterior design. The project’s sign would not be fixed to a wall, and per the city’s land development code, would need final approval from the commission. The second special exception request for the Pumphouse is of a similar nature. The developer is seeking a 30-square foot sign along the “L” shape portion of the art deco-style building. NEXT STEP FOR RIDGEHAVEN

The Planning Board will also review an administrative request to the city’s comprehensive future land use map to include the changes caused by the second amendment to the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement between the city and the county. The second amendment, approved

on Dec. 7 by the City Commission and Feb. 15 by the Volusia County Council, resulted in the annexation of 103 acres north of U.S. 1 and east of Plantation Oaks Boulevard. The property is slated to become a new residential subdivision, called RidgeHaven. Additionally, the Planning Board will review a future land use map amendment for 19 acres of RidgeHaven to change the land use from “low intensity commercial” to “medium density residential.” If a development order for RidgeHaven is eventually approved, the development would be limited to a maximum of 298 units. No site plan has been submitted to the city. The Planning Board meets at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 10 at the City Commission chambers.

“This has not been a decision made or taken lightly and it has weighed heavily on me. I have spoken with my family and those closest to me and know in my heart it is the best decision for me in this chapter of my life.” HEATHER POST, Volusia County Councilwoman on withdrawing from the 2022 elections.

The deadline for artists to apply to participate in the 48th-annual Art in the Park event is March 25. Art in the Park will take place April 30 and May 1 at Rockefeller Gardens. It’s presented by the city’s Department of Leisure Services and the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens.

Pineland Trail residents worry about road conditions, drainage.

ORMOND BEACH OBSERVER

THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2022

ROAD DISPUTE

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

On Dec. 10, at approximately 11:50 p.m., a 19-year-old Ormond Beach man was driving southbound on Pineland Trail when he traveled off the roadway. According to the crash report by Florida Highway Patrol, he failed to maintain control of his vehicle and collided with a tree and a metal wire fence separating the road from I-95, and overturned. He wasn’t driving under the influence; the report details he was inattentive. He was transported to the hospital with non-incapacitating injuries. A few months later, the fence remains dented where his vehicle came to a rest. The tire tracks are still visible in the ground. A scrap of yellow caution tape remains. For some of the residents of Pineland Trail, the crash exemplifies the present dangers of the once-rural road. Now utilized more frequently by parents driving their children to the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, school buses and people headed to nearby Ormond Crossings, Pineland Trail residents worry about the conditions of the road’s shoulders. “I have experienced where I’ve been off the road and it doesn’t have the shoulder that it needs to,” resident Donna Blankenship sad. “To me, it’s very dangerous to run off the shoulder anyway and when there’s nothing but potholes and ... where there’s nothing to grab on to, it’s just holes.” The residents of Pineland Trail also find themselves in a unique position regarding representation at the local government level. They live in an unincorporated area of Volusia County, yet their road is maintained by the city of Ormond Beach.

A piece of yellow caution tape remains at the site of the December crash.

‘IT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE’

Pineland Trail resident Sharon Trescott spoke before the City Commission at its March 1 meeting about the road’s condition. She doesn’t like to do that, she told the commissioners, but she felt she needed to because it had become a safety issue. “I just need to put you all on notice that, in my opinion, it’s gross negligence out there, and surely should be addressed or explained why it’s not,” she said. It wasn’t the first time Trescott or her neighbors have approached the city for help. In addition to the road, the residents have also complained about stormwater drainage issues causing their properties to flood. City Public Works Director Shawn Finley said the city maintains the ditches and the swales and sends employees there on a regular schedule for such work. “Some of the things that [the residents] have brought to our attention are not things that are the responsibility of the city of Ormond Beach,” Finley said. Namely, issues with their driveways. Those are the responsibility of the residents, not the city, he said. DOCUMENTED ISSUES

In August 2021, Volusia County Public Works Director Ben Bartlett met with several of the Pineland Trail residents to discuss issues involving the safety of the rights of ways and stormwater runoff. Bartlett and other county employees documented the issues highlighted by the residents including a 4-foot-deep hole in the side of the driveway apron on a property owned by a retired Ormond Beach Public Works employee. The county noted that the culvert was in poor condition and that the side asphalt swales are contributing to the erosion of the driveway approach. It also took photos of a wash-out along the east side of Pineland Trail that has caused a “deep rut from the shoulder to the ditch bottom,” the lack of a paved apron at a driveway that resulted in the degradation of the residents’ driveway and leading to deterioration of the roadway edge, and an area where backfilling was needed to correct a drop-off forming on the west side of the road. In a letter dated Aug. 25, 2021, to the city, Bartlett wrote that he trusted the city “will evaluate the issues documented in the attachment and will expedite the necessary repairs.” These issues still exist today. “I feel that something most definitely is not right for the way this road is and the safety factor for anyone on it,” Trescott said. “And besides that, the lack of maintenance has only caused the flooding of the properties. You can see it from running down the driveways that once it gets off the road and our properties, it can’t get back off or it can’t get back to the ditches to drain.” Trescott has lived on Pineland Trail

for over 50 years. Issues have gone on for years, she said, because it’s been “very forgotten.” She contacted the city about drainage issues as early as 2018, when a hole appeared at the front of her driveway. After back and forth conversations with city staff, county staff and some elected representatives, the hole was filled and a new culvert pipe was placed. “But the water, to this day I would like to tell you, runs down my driveway from the road, onto my property as it does in many other driveways on the other properties,” she said. CITY SAYS IT DOES WHAT IT CAN

Pineland Trail from Tymber Creek to Airport Road was transferred to the city from the county in November 2012. The city is responsible for the maintenance of the roadway, road signs, roadway striping, stormwater conveyances such as pipes, ditches and inlets and vegetative maintenance within the right of way, per an email from Bartlett. Shortly after it was transferred to the city, the road, which used to be gravel, was paved. In response to drainage issues damaging driveways, Finley said that the city is doing what it can to maintain the road. Addressing drainage issues would take a new master drainage system in that area, but that wouldn’t eliminate some of the existing challenges. “These are very low-lying properties that are all in the flood zone,” he said. “Low-lying properties that have hydric soils that have the propensity to be wet.” In addition, he explained that the issues would be qualified as drainage issues rather than flooding issues, as they are localized to the property and not of regional scope. Though there are no major projects planned for Pineland Trail, a project was submitted to the North Florida

Transportation Planning Organization a couple years ago to fully re-do Pineland Trail. “That’s probably a long ways off, but we have some planning documents we put together for future projects, but nothing budgeted for projects this year,” Finley said. LACK OF REPRESENTATION

Each time it rains, Pineland Trail resident Stacy Wagner grabs her shovel. For the past two years, to prevent her property from flooding, she and her family have been digging their own channels to get the water off their yard. Two months ago, she reached out to the county thinking that, as a resident of an unincorporated area, they would be the ones handling the issue. But the county redirected her to the city, and the city said they weren’t responsible for the water coming into the driveways from the road. She knows her property is low-lying, but said the flooding wasn’t an issue years ago. Wagner has lived on Pineland Trail for 26 years. “It’s difficult, it really is,” Wagner said. “Sometimes they give you the time, sometimes they don’t.” Blakenship said she feels the city is ignoring the neighbors of Pineland Trail because they’re not city residents. “We’re not even represented by the county for crying out loud,” she said. “We can’t get representation from either one of them.” But Finley maintains that Pineland Trail is in much better condition today under the city’s maintenance than when it was under the county’s. “I think that we do those things that we can with the resources available to maintain Pineland Trail as we do any other roadway,” he said.

Councilwoman Heather Post withdraws from 2022 elections The District 4 representative was first elected to the County Council in 2017 and in 2020 was re-elected for a second two-year term.

Volusia County Councilwoman Heather Post announced on Friday, March 4, that she has withdrawn from the council’s at-large representative race and will not seek another term in public office in the 2022 elections. She informed the public of her decision via her Facebook page, stating that the decision was made “after much discussion, careful consideration, and reflection on my many years of service to Volusia County.” “This has not been a decision made or taken lightly and it has weighed heavily on me,” Post wrote. “I have spoken with my family and those closest to me and know in my heart it is the best decision for me in this chapter of my life.” Post was first elected to the council in 2017 and in 2020, re-elected for a second two-year term. As the representative for District 4, she represents the residents of Ormond Beach, Ormond-by-the-Sea, Holly Hill and surrounding unincorporated areas, as well as portions of Daytona Beach, DeLand and DeLeon Springs. In late November 2021, Post announced that she planned to run for the at-large seat on the council. In her recent announcement, she expressed that it was an honor to represent citizens in her district, but that she never had intentions to run for higher office or for politics to be her life-long career. She continued by stating she wanted to announce her withdrawal now to give “plenty of time for others who care for the

Volusia County Councilwoman Heather Post said she will not seek another term on the council.

community strongly enough to put people before politics and know they can make a difference to enter the race where they see fit.” But her announcement also acknowledged that her time on the council hasn’t been without conflict. “Finally, I am so grateful to my adversaries and those who have opposed me, sabotaging meetings, being deeply horrible people to gain favor elsewhere, spreading lies, encouraging stalkers, and worst, purposefully making decisions detrimental to the citizens and the future of Volusia County just to be able to ‘go against’ what I advocate for,” she wrote. “I have learned so much from them and it is through these battles that my positions, beliefs and tenacity have been re-affirmed and are now stronger than ever. I have worked tenaciously to stand up for so many in the community and within the county administration whose voices are sadly ignored and I will continue to do so.” She will serve until her term expires on Dec. 31.

The Volusia County School Board unanimously approved on Tuesday, March 8, a salary increase of up to 5% for non-bargaining employees, as well as a $500 retention bonus for any employee that has been with Volusia County Schools for five years or longer. The district took a tiered approach to the increases, with non-bargaining employees separated in 17 different levels, plus a separate category for technical non-bargaining employees, which include deaf interpreters and head custodians. Employees in levels 1 through three (which include administrative assistants, computer technicians and analysts) will receive a 5% increase, said Mark West, chief human resources officer for the district. Level four through eight employees (examples are network engineers, paralegals, therapists and project managers) will receive a 3% increase, and all administrators and employees level nine and higher will receive a 2% salary increase. It’s a proposal that will cost the district $1.26 million, in addition to the $270,740 needed for the retention bonuses. At the School Board workshop earlier that day, School Board member Jamie Haynes expressed frustration

over the levels employees were categorized in, as some job titles were repeated on the district’s chart. Other members expressed confusion as well, and Board Chair Ruben Colon worried about salary compression in the near future. West said staff listened when the board expressed the desire to increase the wages of lowest-paid employees the most, and that’s why they introduced a tiered increase. “In the past, I think, all we’ve done with non-bargaining is say, ‘We’re just going to vote flat — 2% increase for all non-bargaining,” West said. “And that way, I hate to say it’s easy, but it’s easy. What we’re trying to do here is tier a little bit so that we are trying to bring up our lowest paid employees.” With the 5% increase, a starting salary for an employees in level one will be $33,703 a year. For level two, it would $41,314. A 5% raise equates to 50 cents per hour. The district will also be raising some hourly wages beyond 5% for its lowest paid employees classified as technical non-bargaining employees. Its deaf interpreters’ wages will increase to $11 an hour; Extended Day Enrichment Program employees’ hourly wage will be increased to $12 and their minimum hours will increase from two to three. Haynes said she wished for the people whose hourly wages were increased to $10 an hour in September 2021 are able to get to $15 soon. School Board member Carl Persis said he wanted the board to remain aware of the job market and see which

positions, such as school nurses, are having staffing issues. “If part of that reason is because of the hourly rate, or the overall salary, then I think this is our opportunity to address that,” he said. Amid concerns on salary compression, School Board member Anita Burnette said the issue is about being “fair and equitable.” “There’s all kinds of ways we can go back and forth and we have to start somewhere,” said Burnette before echoing Colon’s earlier suggestion that the district form a fiveyear plan to address the problem. Fritz agreed that salaries remain a big issue that needs to be addressed, whether that be by bringing in an external auditor to look at pay or have the district do the research. “I think what you’re going to have to realize — and we all have to realize this — is that you’re going to have to pick the gator that’s closest to the boat to start with,” Fritz said. “You’re not going to be able to do it all at once.” Later at the School Board meeting that afternoon, Colon said that it was unfortunate the district couldn’t offer a higher increase at the moment, but that he is proud that the conversation to develop a plan to improve salaries has been brought to the table. “I’m excited that we’re having this conversation now,” Colon said. “It’s something that’s been in my heart for many years. It’s just the timing has to be right, and I am supportive of this. However, I don’t think it’s perfect by any means.”

The subject of a five-month narcotics investigation was arrested on more than two dozen traffickingrelated charges Thursday, March 3, in Daytona Beach, with detectives taking a significant amount of heroin, fentanyl and meth off the streets. Romario J. Burrowes, 21, a Jamaican national wanted on 28 counts with a total bond of more than $6.8 million, was arrested without incident Thursday afternoon outside an apartment complex at 600 Jimmy Ann Drive, Daytona Beach. Over the course of the investigation, an undercover detective made multiple controlled purchases of heroin, fentanyl and meth from Burrowes. The amount of drugs totaled 482 grams of heroin, 229.4 grams of fentanyl and 169 grams of meth. During his arrest, detectives seized another 103 grams of fentanyl, 410 grams of meth, 43 Oxycodone pills, four handguns, a little more than $1,000 cash and narcotics paraphernalia. Burrowes’ charges include counts of trafficking, and delivery of fentanyl, heroin and meth. The investigation was a joint effort involving the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Volusia Bureau of Investigation and the East Volusia Narcotics Task Force. These teams include members of the Volusia Sheriff’s Office and partners with the DeLand, Edgewater, New Smyrna Beach, South Daytona, Holly Hill and Ormond Beach police departments.

COPS CORNER

FEB. 20

COSMETIC BANDIT 8:54 p.m. — 700 block of West Granada Boulevard Grand theft. A 30-year-old Holly Hill man was charged with grand theft after he stole over $1,800 worth of cosmetics from a local pharmacy retail store. According to his arrest report, the man filled a garbage bag and hand basket with $1,878.39 worth of makeup products before abandoning it as he passed an employee, proclaiming he wished to purchase a soda. The employee grew suspicious, so she followed him to the beverage cooler and rang him up once he’d selected a Coke. The man paid and left, but returned a minute later to grab the trash bag and hand basket of makeup before leaving the store. The employee confronted him as he left and the man said, “I’m taking this. You can call the cops if you want.” And call the cops, she did. An hour prior to the theft, police had actually trespassed the man from a different retail pharmacy store after he was seen loitering in their cosmetic department, according to his arrest report. Police prepared a charging affidavit and forwarded it to the State Attorney’s Office.

FEB. 27

COMPUTER SCAM 11:05 a.m. — 100 block of Ormond Parkway Fraud. A 62-year-old Ormond Beach woman was scammed out of $16,000 in a scheme that began with a pop-up message on her computer. According to the incident report, the message warned

YOUR TOWN 10 CUB SCOUTS ADVANCE TO BOY SCOUT TROOP 403 On Saturday, Feb 19, Cub Scout Pack 74 honored 10 scouts in their annual Arrow of Light ceremony and Blue and Gold Banquet at YMCA’s Lake Winona Campground.

the woman that she needed to contact Microsoft or her computer would be disabled. She contacted the phone number included in the message, and the man on the other line asked for access to her computer. Thinking he was going to fix the problem, the woman allowed this. The man then alleged that she had 60 “hackers” trying to use her information and that she had a “Trojan” virus in her bank account. He instructed her to call another number to connect her “on a secure line” to her bank. The man pretended to connect her and she started speaking with another man who asked her questions about her bank accounts. The second man claimed that there was a pending withdrawal of $12,500 in her account, and advised her to remove the money before she lost her savings. This scared the victim, and she followed his instructions for the withdrawal of $16,000, which she deposited into a bitcoin ATM. The victim was instructed to lie to her bank and make up a story about home repairs if one of the employees inquired about the transaction “because they were not wanting the thief to become suspicious that they were aware of the thefts,” according to the incident report. Police advised her to contact her bank and to factory reset her computer.

D’OH! A DEER! 4:42 a.m. — First block of Box Elder Court Animal complaint. Police were dispatched to the home of an 81-yearold Ormond Beach man after a burglary alarm went off. According to the incident report, the man told police that he had heard a loud noise before the alarm went off, and police saw that the glass door leading to a back room had been knocked down. Suspecting the home had been burglarized, the reporting officer called for a second

The residence was cleared, and police noted the damage was only present in the back room of the home, with paintings and paint brushes scattered on the floor along with the broken glass. That’s when an officer noticed deer prints on the ground leading up to the room, as well as fur on the door and all over the room. Another officer said he had also seen a deer when he turned onto the street. Officers thus concluded that the suspect in this case was, indeed, a deer.

MARCH 3

PARK PROWLER 10:47 a.m. — 2000 block of North Beach St. Loitering or prowling. A 31-year-old Holly Hill man was arrested after he was seen attempting to open car doors while at a local state park. Police spoke with park rangers, who advised they had approached the man but that he had taken off into the bushes and only emerged after police were called. The man then told the park rangers that he had paid to enter the park; this was determined to be a lie, as the employee at the front gate said otherwise. The man told officers that he had come to the park because he was interested in its statue, and said he believed he had come inside the park yesterday, but that he had fallen asleep in the woods. He admitted into looking inside other vehicles, but stated that “he was not on drugs, and he was in his ‘right state of mind,’” according to his arrest report. The man, who was on probation for a previous burglary charge, was trespassed from the park. He was taken to jail.

is the brainchild of Ormond Beach residents Pat Abernathy and Dr. Pam Fieldus. The idea for an art festival came to Abernathy while she was at a classic car show in Holly Hill and heard a children’s orchestra playing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Upon her discovery that the children in the

Suzanne Ayala lets her medium dictate her art. As a glass artist since the late 1970s, she pays close attention to her torch. She’s only gotten burned once, and she’s never going to make that mistake again. When she’s ready to begin, she takes a bar of borosilicate glass and cuts off the portion she needs to work. For about the next 20 minutes, she works it back and forth until it is red and glowing. “I don’t feel like fighting anything with the glass,” Ayala said. “I let things go and let it fall whatever way it wants to. I really like that a lot.” Ayala, of Daytona Beach, is one of 70 artists who will be showcasing their work at the fourth-annual Holly Hill Arts Festival at Holly Hill City Hall on Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and 27.

orchestra lacked funds for instruments, she decided to find a way to help. Abernathy spoke to Fieldus, and they decided to use their combined decades of experience volunteering for the Halifax Art Festival in Daytona Beach to help children in Holly Hill. This resulted in the creation of Helping Hands Thru Arts, which supports fundraising through arts for local needs, in January 2019. Aside from the juried artists, this year’s festival will also have crafters and a student art exhibit, featuring art from students at the Holly Hill School, UBIC Academy and the Rossmeyer Family Holly Hill Boys and Girls Club. There will also be lots of festival food, including barbecue from Fraze’s Scratch Cookin’. “It’s a wonderful family-friendly event,” Abernathy said. “You can bring the kids because we’ve got the student art. Dad is going to be happy because we have the barbecue. Mom is going to be happy because she can shop jewelry and art and whatever — there’s something for everybody.” This will be Ayala’s second year

LOCAL Former Mrs. Ormond Beach on ‘The Real Housewives of Orlando’ EVENTS Leesa Marie Benz used her Marilyn Monroe impression to land on the Bravo show. JULIA AMBROSE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Leesa Marie Benz, a Marilyn Monroe tribute artist who lives in Halifax Plantation, has been cast in the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Orlando,” to air this summer on Bravo. Benz was first discovered in 1995, on Marilyn Monroe’s birthday, June 1. A look-alike competition was being held to promote the new Marilyn Monroe postage stamp, and she was encouraged to enter the contest. “I had three months to get ready,” she said. “So I really had to study her. I had a strong resemblance to her,

and then with tweaking the makeup and the hair, and getting clothes, old vintage clothes, it just kind of all came together.” After Benz’s Marilyn debut, she went on to win Mrs. Ormond Beach 1999 and Mrs. Daytona Beach 2000. One of the photographers she was working with then kept in touch and informed her, years later, of the audition for “The Real Housewives of Orlando.” She was apprehensive. She recalls telling him, “I don’t even live in Orlando, and I’m not a housewife anymore.” He responded, “You’re going to be perfect for this.” After the casting in November 2021, she landed a position on the show. Through the filming process, Benz has learned what it takes to be on a professionally made show, which requires about 30 hours of filming for a 20-minute episode. Patience was “truly a virtue” for her as she would film for eight hours a day. She describes the experience as “once in a lifetime” and although there might be a little bit of TV drama on the show, it is all part of the fun. In order to be “Marilyn ready,” Benz takes her time in the morning after getting plenty of sleep. When watching “The Real Housewives of Orlando,” she said, there will be a lot of jaw dropping moments, with participants talking about each other behind their backs, but the cast says a prayer before filming to keep a positive environment. The filming feels authentic, she said, because the director places actors in a setting and allows them to simply start a conversation. The mansions and sets she is working in makes her feel like “a million bucks for a day,” she said, and she hopes that this opportunity leads right into the next adventure.

participating in the festival. She had a wonderful time last year and sold some of her pieces. Feedback from festivalgoers was good too, she said. “Especially since I’m making the tall pieces now,” Ayala said. “... And they’re beautiful. They look so elegant.” Ayala uses rocks, such as coquina or volcanic rocks, as her base. Her glass art usually depicts blades of grass or weeds with animals such as fish, turtles and birds. All of her pieces are unique, since she doesn’t begin working with a specific idea in mind. “To me, I like everything to be different,” she said. “I don’t want any of them looking the same way.” Last year’s festival was held at Sunrise Park, but that is currently undergoing the construction of a new seawall, so it was moved to Holly Hill City Hall, where it was held in 2019.

Seabreeze aces first half of tennis season

ACES MICHELE MEYERS

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“The answer is keep training and get more confidence in myself. That’s 90% of it. You’ve got to know you can do it.” MAC CHIUMENTO, Seabreeze senior

For Seabreeze’s first-year tennis coach, Trishna Patel, the goal was to build camaraderie and create a team. The result has been an undefeated team: The boys and girls were both 7-0, after a sweep of Father Lopez on March 3. “The game plan was to have a lot of joint matches,” she said. “I really wanted the girl and boy athletes to watch and learn from each other. Also, I wanted them to understand how their particular games are different. Marry the two ideas.” Last year, Seabreeze’s head coach Robert Holtgrewe retired at the end of the season. Patel was encouraged by friends to seek the position, and after navigating the school system requirements, she landed the job. She has been running a local junior tennis program called the Trailblazers for five years and had already been training some of the Seabreeze players. It was a natural fit. “Tennis is a sport of life,” Patel said. “My number one passion is to train student athletes.” In terms of her experience regarding team tennis, Patel knew what to expect and how she planned to run the team her first season. She attended the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in high school, now known as the IMG Academy, then played Division I tennis at Brown University. In 1997, Brown made its first appearance in the NCAA championships, and the same year, Patel was named Ivy League Player of the Year. Qualifying for the state championships in April with his team, remains a goal for Seabreeze senior Mac Chiumento. His record this season after the Lopez match was 8-2 with the losses coming in one single and one doubles match against Daksh Talati of University High School. Chiumento’s favorite match this season was a grueling two-and-a-halfhour singles match with Talati. “I played him in doubles and I was thinking this kid is so good,” he said. “I was down 2-5, came back 6-6 and he ended up winning 8-6. I have to beat this kid. The answer is keep training and get more confidence in myself. That’s 90% of it. You’ve got

Two Mainland wrestlers reached the podium at the first FHSAA girls state wrestling championships March 3-5 at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee. Junior Jah’Mya Hill placed fourth in the 155-pound weight class, and sophomore Cheyenne Wigley finished seventh in the 235-pound class. Senior Abby Couillard also qualified for the state tournament and won her first match in the 100-pound class, pinning Genesis Gallegos of Miami Jackson in 1:14. But Couillard was knocked out of the wrestlebacks. She finished the season with a 28-12 record. “Our girls really showed out, especially Jah’Mya,” Mainland coach Matt Lawrence said. “We expected

Cheyenne Wigley to be in the medal mix as a returning placer from the unofficial tournament last year, but Jah’Mya has consistently beat the person across from her and that came from hard work and dedication at practice. Abby Couillard also offered senior guidance to our girls this year, and even though she fell short of her goal, she is looking forward to competing at the next level.” Hill pinned Raniya Stephens of Miami Norland in 1:07 in the first round and got a forfeit into the semifinals, where she lost to eventual champ Mya Bethel of North Miami by pin in 2:59. Hill advanced to the consolation final with a pin of Karla Ortiz of Jacksonville Westside in 2:35. Gabby Tutera pinned Hill to take third place. Hill finished the year with a 27-7 record. Wigley (24-9) advanced to the quarterfinals with a forfeit. Aniya Herbin of Tampa Jefferson sent Wigley to the consolation bracket, where she won two of three matches. Wigley pinned Daphne Pierre of Fort Myers in 2:03 in the seventh-place match.

Notice of Intent to Issue Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue a renewed Title V air operation permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that continued operation of the existing equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-213, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue subsequent final permit in accordance with the conditions of the draft/proposed permit unless a response received in accordance with the following procedures results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions. Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the draft/proposed Title V air operation permit for a period of 30 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice. Written comments must be received by the close of business (5:00 p.m.), on or before the end of this 30-day period by the Permitting Authority at the above address. As part of his or her comments, any person may also request that the Permitting Authority hold a public meeting on this permitting action. If the Permitting Authority determines there is sufficient interest for a public meeting, it will publish notice of the time, date, and location in the Florida Administrative Register (FAR). If a public meeting is requested within the 30-day comment period and conducted by the Permitting Authority, any oral and written comments received during the public meeting will also be considered by the Permitting Authority. If timely received written comments or comments received at a public meeting result in a significant change to the draft permit, the Permitting Authority shall issue a revised draft/proposed permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection. For additional information, contact the Permitting Authority at the above address or phone number. Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, Agency Cl rk@dep.state.tl. us, before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205 , F.A.C. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address, any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f ) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this written notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above. Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency C le rk@dep .state.fl.u , before the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding. EPA Review: EPA has agreed to treat the draft/proposed Title V air operation permit as a proposed Title V air operation permit and to perform its 45-day review provided by the law and regulations concurrently with the public comment period, provided that the applicant also transmits an electronic copy of the required proof of publication directly to EPA at the following email addresses: R4Title VFL@e pa.gov. The final Title V air operation permit will be issued after the conclusion of the 45-day EPA review period so long as no adverse comments are received that result in a different decision or significant change of terms or conditions. The status regarding EPA’s 45-day review of this project and the deadline for submitting a citizen petition can be found at the following website address: http://www2.epa.gov/caa-perm itting/flor ida-proposed-t it le- v-per mits. Objections: Finally, pursuant to 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 766ld(b)(2), any person may petition the Administrator of the EPA within 60 days of the expiration of the Administrator’s 45-day review period as established at 42 U.S.C. Section 7661d(b)(l), to object to the issuance of any Title Vair operation permit. Any petition shall be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the 30-day public comment period provided in the Public Notice, unless the petitioner demonstrates to the Administrator of the EPA that it was impracticable to raise such objections within the comment period or unless the grounds for such objection arose after the comment period. Filing of a petition with the Administrator of the EPA does not stay the effective date of any permit properly issued pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 62-213, F.A.C. Petitions filed with the Administrator of EPA must meet the requirements of 42 U.S.C. Section 766ld(b)(2) and must be filed with the Administrator of the EPA at: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of the Administrator, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Mail Code: 1101A, Washington, DC 20460.
