City hires new fire chief: Howard Bailey The city of Ormond Beach will soon have a new fire chief.

On Monday, May 5, City Manager Joyce Shanahan announced to her department directors via email that Volusia County Fire Chief Howard Bailey will be retiring from the county and joining the city as its fire chief on Aug. 1. OBFD Battalion Cmdr. Dave King has been serving as interim since Fire Chief Richard Sievers retired in late February.

Bailey began his fire service career in 1989 as a volunteer firefighter with the Palm Coast Fire Department. He began working with Volusia County Fire Rescue in 1992 and spent the next 30 years working his way up through the ranks.

He was named the county’s fire chief in 2019.

City held a meeting about the airport. Did it make a difference?

When it comes to the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and the proposed 600-foot runway extension to the west, the community is divided.

Some believe that the runway extension will only increase noise in their neighborhoods. Others want the extension, on the basis that the airport is an economic driver.

At the city’s OB Life citizen engagement workshop on the topic held on Tuesday, May 10, at the Ormond Beach Senior Center, the estimated 140 people in attendance represented both views. (While there was a virtual option to attend, residents reported that they encountered technical difficulties.)

It was, at times, a tense meeting, with one resident being escorted out by police after he stood up and spoke against the runway, earning boisterous applause.

“Most of the residents here are concerned about the noise that this airport is going to bring up,” the man shouted. “You’re completely ignoring the issue.”

The city’s standpoint regarding noise is that a longer runway would allow planes to gain altitude quicker and therefore reduce noise when flying over nearby neighborhoods, such as Bear Creek. Some residents are not convinced.

Likewise, when one person submitted a question asking why people complain about noise after moving next to an airport, a loud applause also rang through the room.

Brian Rademacher, the city’s economic development director, said that the airport had 105,170 operations in 2021, showing a graph with a downward trend since the height of about 164,000 operations in 2008.

One takeoff or one landing count as one operation.

Residents protested the airport runway extension prior to the OB Life meeting on Tuesday, May 10.

But despite having fewer operations, Rademacher said that the airport contributes to a regional employment of 426 jobs, a total payroll of about $18 million and and a total regional output of $56 million, per data by the Florida Department of Transportation.

During the question and answer portion of the meeting, one resident asked about the need for the Ormond airport when there are ones in Flagler Beach and Daytona Beach. City Airport Manager Steven Lichliter said airports don’t compete with each other. General aviation airports, like Ormond Beach, provide service to smaller aircraft so that the larger airports are able to better serve commercial carriers.

“Can you imagine flying out of Daytona Beach ... but you were waiting behind 25 Cessna 172s waiting to takeoff to do flight training?”

Lichliter said. “... That’s why there are general aviation airports.”

One of the major points of contention regarding the runway extension project involves the number of jets that could utilize the airport in the future. The three jets based at the airport counted for 0.2% of the annual operations at the airport , with the majority — 93.9% — coming from its single-engine planes. The Ormond Beach airport is primarily a flight training facility.

The city brought in two representatives from Environmental Science Associates, an Orlando-based environmental consulting firm, to provide a broader context on the airport and its operations.

ESA National Airports Practice Leader Michael Arnold said that the public should expect, if the project is completed, to see about 2-3 more operations per day, and that the

reduction of the runway extension from 1,000 feet to 600 feet would keep the runway protection zone on airport property, minimizing impacts to nearby parcels.

City Finance Director Kelly McGuire also spoke about the airport fund, explaining that it is a separate financial entity and that it is supported from land and hangar leases.

These lease revenue funds take care of operating expenses, such as salaries, maintenance and utilities. The city has borrowed $668,000 internally from its general fund to provide local match dollars for grants by the Federal Aviation Administration and FDOT. For every $1 of matching funds, McGuire said the city receives $22 in grant funds, which in turn become a $750 economic benefit.

Annually, the airport fund pays the city back as much as it can from its leases, and pays interest, she added.

“Dr. Balgobin led the district intelligently and calmly through these very, very stressful times and did so without having a deputy superintendent to assist her. Let’s be clear, Dr. Balgobin is not a female version of Dr. Fritz. She has an outgoing, very friendly, engaging personality and takes time to listen to everyone.”

OMAM celebrates ribbon-cutting for its $4 million renovation JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

“People can see us and we have invited everybody in and we hope every person that comes here gets a little bit of the magic that we all share.”

KATHY CROTTY, Museum Executive Committee Member

In 1946, World War I veteran Malcolm Fraser offered to donate his collection of art to any town in Florida along U.S. 1 on one condition: That they open an art museum that paid tribute to veterans.

The city of Ormond Beach took him up on his offer, and citizens later raised $10,000 — equivalent to over $147,000 today — to make the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens a reality.

And history has repeated itself. On Monday, May 9, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the reopening of OMAM after the completion of its $4 million renovation project, an effort that began back in 2018 and was made possible through community donations, collaborations and dedication.

“We have followed in those exact footsteps of wanting to preserve this special and magical place for decades to come,” OMAM’s former director Susan Richmond said.

The renovation project, which began in late January 2021, demolished a 1998 addition to the original museum building, which fronts East Granada Boulevard and was built in 1915. The original building had been an attorney’s office before the attorney donated it to the city. It still has some of the original glass in its front windows.

The 1998 addition was replaced with a two-story building, plus a rooftop terrace. The building has granted OMAM with more classroom space, a reception hall and catering kitchen. A new community pavilion area in the corner of East Granada Boulevard and Halifax Drive was also added.

Nancy Lohman, the museum renovation project campaign chair, said

that though the project ended up costing more than the anticipated (it had been estimated at $3.5 million), the project will be paid in full once the museum receives the remainder of this year’s pledges.

“What’s really amazing about this is that we succeeded in completing this project during a global pandemic,” Lohman said. “I mean, how crazy is that, right? That all during this period of time in our world, all of you gave generously and believed in our future.”

‘A HUGE DIAMOND’

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington said it was an accomplishment to see the museum project completed, remarking on the synergy that is taking place on the beachside portion of the city’s downtown district.

“It’s an incredible building,” he

said. “I don’t know if you’ve seen it at night. It’s just as incredible and beautiful as it is during the daytime, but the outreach that is going to be accomplished through the arts as a result of your efforts is really, really wonderful.”

In 2018, the city approved a 50-year building lease for the museum, allowing its leadership to pursue a $400,000 ECHO grant, a voterapproved program which provides funds for environmental, cultural, historical and outdoor recreational projects. The museum provided $415,000 in matching funds. Volusia ECHO Advisory Committee Chair Pat Northey highlighted that OMAM acquired the grant dollars during the 2020 funding cycle, made more challenging because of the pandemic.

“Your commitment to the completion of this project for the reopening just a few years later is especially noteworthy,” she said.

Lohman, Campaign Co-Chair Ann Burt and OMAM Board of Directors Vice President Sherry Gailey were known as the “Blonde Ambition Tour” for the project, leading the donation effort.

Burt, who was the OMAM director before Richmond, said that when she looks at how far the museum has come in 70 years, she is left in awe. She used to say she had the best job in the city because she worked in a “beautiful garden surrounded by fabulous art,” and yet now, she thinks the museum has been made more beautiful. She and her husband, Locke Burt, donated $250,000 for the museum’s educational center.

“This is for our children and our grandchildren,” Burt said. “This is so that in 70 years, they can say, ‘Look at what this group of people gave their community.’ ... I always felt that this was not a gem, it was a huge diamond in the crown of Ormond Beach.”

twined in her family’s life.

Her family has lived in Ormond since 1958, and she recalled a time when her mother brought her and her sister Beth to the museums when she was their Girl Scouts leader. Her mother was running a promotion ceremony; her sister Beth was rising from being a Brownie to a fullfledged Girl Scout. Afterwards, when they were all hot and sweaty, they drank Kool-Aid in the gardens.

“Mom, we’re drinking champagne today,” Crotty said.

The museum project wasn’t just about renovating a building, she added.

“We have opened the corner,” Crotty said. “People can see us and we have invited everybody in and we hope every person that comes here gets a little bit of the magic that we all share.”

In the world today, people tend to focus on their differences, Richmond said, but she felt the museum renovation was an example of what can be accomplished when the community focuses on what they share in common.

“We collaborate on a common goal,” she said. “We can be part of something epic.”

Shootings of two local teens are ‘directly linked,’ sheriff says SCHOOL DISTRICT REACTS TO FATAL SHOOTING OF FPC STUDENT

One person believed to be connected to the fatal shooting of FPC student Noah Smith has been arrested on an unrelated charge. Crime Stoppers has installed a billboard seeking more information.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The fatal shootings of local 16-yearold Noah Smith in January and 16-year-old Keymarion Hall on May 3 are directly related, and deputies have arrested someone they believe is connected to Smith’s shooting, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in a news conference on May 6.

Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida is increasing the reward for information leading to an arrest in Smith’s shooting from $10,000 to $15,000.

“We know who did it — and so do you — but we need your information to make a rock solid case for the state attorney,” Staly said.

Crime Stoppers has erected a billboard on South State Street in Bunnell seeking tips. Submit tips to 1-888-277-TIPS to remain anonymous and eligible for the $15,000 reward. (Tips can also be submitted to the FCSO at 386-313-4911 or TIPS@FlaglerSheriff.com, but tips submitted that way will not be eligible for the Crime Stoppers reward.)

Staly and State Attorney R.J. Larizza stood in front of the new sign, which bears Smith’s image, as they pleaded with community members to come forward with information.

“We have to hold the folks accountable that commit these crimes, but we can’t do it unless we can prove it.

So we need your help,” Larizza said.

“We need the community’s help, and I’m begging please help us solve these crimes.”

Pointing to the new Crime Stoppers billboard, he said, “It’s just a damn shame that we’ve got a bill-

board behind us ... with a photo of a 16-year-old young man, teenager, that has been murdered by gun violence ... and just within the last couple of weeks, that makes the second 16-year-old victim. ... And it’s a shame that we have trouble getting folks to come forward.”

People with information are often relatives or friends of the suspect, Staly said. “We want justice for Noah and Keymarion’s families just like you do,” he said. “We ask the family to speak up. Tell us what you know, and help us bring these investigations to a close.”

Bunnell Police Chief David Brannon said the Bunnell Police Department is working with the FCSO to solve the recent shootings.

“But I implore you to please speak with our officers,” Brannon said.

“We’re out here to help you. We want to make this community as safe as possible.”

Larizza said he’s heard speculation about why people won’t come forward.

“Is it because folks are afraid? Is it because folks don’t trust law enforce-

ment? Is it because folks just don’t know anything? Maybe it’s a combination of all of that,” he said. “But we have to do better. Law enforcement, the State Attorney’s Office, and the folks in the community — we’ve got to find a way to stop this violence. ...

How many families are we going to have to talk to? How many times is this going to have to happen before we can find a way to get into these communities and stop this violence from happening?”

Smith’s father, Keith Smith, blamed the suspect’s parents, as well. “It ain’t just the kids, it’s these parents too,” he said. “Because if that would’ve been my son, I would make him man up today.”

Staly did not call the individual who was arrested — 18-year-old Terrell Sampson — a suspect in the shooting itself, although Staly said detectives know that Sampson is “connected to” the Smith case.

“This is an arrest on an unrelated charge; the Noah Smith homicide investigation is active and ongoing,” Staly said. “We also believe that the murder of Keymarion Hall

is directly linked to this case. There are rumors of pressure being made to keep potential witnesses silent in both cases.”

Sampson was arrested May 5 on a charge of possession of a firearm by a delinquent. The offense date listed on Sampson’s jail record is Jan. 12, the date of Smith’s shooting.

Sampson has seven felony convictions already, Staly said, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon domestic violence, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of cocaine and marijuana, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, and resisting an officer.

“This young man has already wasted his future, and will probably spend most of his life in a state prison if he is not killed on the streets if he doesn’t change his behavior,” Staly said.

The two shootings appear to be relationship-related, Staly said in response to a reporter’s question about whether the shootings weregang-related. Smith, Staly added. was “probably in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“It was probable he was an unin-

Flagler Schools officials offered condolences to the family and friends of Flagler Palm Coast High School student Keymarion Hall after Hall's fatal shooting in Bunnell on May 3.

"On behalf of everyone with Flagler Schools, I want to express our sincere condolences to the friends and family of Keymarion Hall," Flagler Schools Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt wrote on Twitter. "The death of one child is one too many, and our community has experienced too much of this senseless violence."

It's the second time since January that Flagler Schools has made crisis counselors available to students and staff due to the fatal shooting of one of its students.

The shooting of Hall, a 10th-grader and basketball player, follows the Jan. 12 fatal drive-by shooting of FPC student Noah Smith, also 16.

FPC basketball coach Derrick Williams posted this quote on Twitter on May 4: "Lord give us understanding. Allow us to stay positive and hopeful in our most confusing, emotional & exhausting moments.

We need you."

tended victim, from everything we know at this time,” Staly said. “And we’re still investigating Keymarion Hall on what’s going on there.”

Smith urged parents to be aware of what their kids are doing at night.

Gun owners, Staly added, need to stop leaving guns in their unlocked cars, because that’s how kids are getting them.

“I’m confident ... that between community assistance, the detectives that we have, the forensics and the data dumps that we’re getting that are being analyzed — we will solve this case,” Staly said. “The question is how long it will take. ...

You’ve got $15,000 now, and we just need that one piece of evidence. And that’s what we’re asking for.”

Volusia elected officials put transportation subcommittee on hold The topic will be revisited in January after the elections.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Volusia County elected officials are still interested in a transportation subcommittee — but maybe, after the new year?

The Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials met at the Daytona Beach International Airport on Monday, May 9, and came to the consensus that the effort to form a subcommittee to address infrastructure needs should begin anew in January 2023, as there was little immediate interest among the county’s 16 municipalities, and because there will be turnover come the November elections.

At the beginning of the discussion, Roundtable Chair and Deltona Mayor Heidi Herzberg said the only stipulation from the county on the subcommittee’s creation was that a municipality take the lead in the administrative side of the subcommittee by keeping minutes and scheduling meetings.

Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette, who has been vocal on the need for

BRIEFS DSC celebrates new student residence hall In front of an audience of more than 200 students, faculty, staff and members of the community, Daytona State College officials cut the ceremonial ribbon to mark the completion of the new student residence hall on May 5. Located on the Daytona Beach Campus, the four story, 252-bed facility opens its doors to DSC’s first-ever oncampus residents this summer. The residence hall was designed to be an affordable option within reach for all students, including those on financial aid and scholarships.

“Today marks the end of one chapter in the life of our college and begins a new one, with fresh ideas, hopes, and dreams for the future,” said Dr. Tom LoBasso, DSC president. “The impact this facility will have on our campus life will be unmistakable. In this era where everyone wants to be online, the residence hall will help build stronger relationships between faculty and students. It will strengthen the ties with our future alumni and create a positive feedback loop that will in turn make us stronger.”

The campus infrastructure is in place for a full college residential experience, and includes amenities such as a dining facility with meal plans, a fitness center, pool, and recreational areas. Student housing is projected to increase student retention as support services such as tutoring, the library, Writing Center, Academic Support Center, and Career Services, are all within walking distance from the facility.

“We were confident that many of our students, including local students, would want to take advantage of a residential experience,” said Dr. Randy Howard, DSC District Board of Trustees Chair. “Living in the heart of this campus where they can fully immerse themselves in their educational experience – close to faculty, recreational facilities, our wonderful student center and library – this is one more example of how Daytona State keeps the needs of our students at the forefront of everything we do.”

the subcommittee in the past roundtable meetings, volunteered. But he had stipulations of his own: That those who serve on the subcommittee be fully committed, and that there be citizen involvement.

“My problem with it is we’re fractured on our direction about it,” he said. “I don’t want to do anything halfway.”

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington was in favor of delaying the subcommittee issue, not only because of the elections, but also because he said he felt this was a “precursor to a one-cent sales tax.”

In May 2019, Volusia held a special election for a half-cent sales tax referendum for infrastructure projects; it failed by 55% of the vote. Partington questioned why some would think a one-cent sales tax would be passed by voters. Some, he explained, may feel like the half-cent sales tax referendum failed because “it wasn’t enough to meet the needs,” and a one-cent sales tax will pass because it might be deemed enough.

“That makes no sense to me,” he said. “I think there will be double the opposition to a one-cent sales tax than there was to a half-cent sales tax, and that half-cent effort started out well but it just turned into

THE FUTURE OF THE ROUNDTABLE? At the meeting, Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington suggested the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials should meet quarterly in the future. The group currently meets every other month.

He also said he was open to discussing holding the meetings at a different time, as 9 a.m. on Mondays is not only hard for elected officials with day jobs but also for citizens to attend. He suggested the meetings be held closer to the end of the workday, such as around 4 or 4:30 p.m.

“I feel like what we do here isn’t in the public view as a meeting that they would at least have access to,” he said.

a disaster at the end whenever everybody piled in their special interests.”

The projects that could have been funded by the half-cent sales tax ranged from roadway improvements and reconstruction, to new school sidewalks, to stormwater improve-

ments and septic tank conversions.

Partington said a sales tax initiative needs to be citizen-driven.

Volusia County Council Chair Jeff Brower said that if the final outcome of a transportation subcommittee is indeed a sales tax increase, that “it

Volusia medical director retiring

Dr. Peter Springer, who has been Volusia County’s medical director for 16 years, is stepping down from his role. His last day will be July 1, according to a memo he delivered this week to Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald.

“I have been honored to serve the people of Volusia County and I am hopeful that my 16 years of service has made a sincere difference in how emergency medical services have been delivered to our wonderful citizens,” Dr. Springer wrote. “I have never been so proud of the wonderful people that I have been blessed to have the opportunity to work with.

It has truly been an honor and a privilege to be associated with such a competent and caring team.”

Dr. Springer has served as medical director since January 2006.

He works in the county’s Public Protection Department as part of Emergency Medical Administration team, which is responsible for providing clinical oversight to the various emergency medical services providers throughout the county.

Essentially, all emergency medical technicians and paramedics in the county, regardless of their agency, operate under the direct supervision of the county’s medical director.

‘Mentor, leader and trusted brother’: Sean Major retires after 31 years The Palm Coast Fire Department celebrates the retirement of Battalion Chief Sean Major after 31 years.

In 1991, Major was working at a Lawn and Landscape with then-Lt. Mike Beadle. He was encouraged to check out the fire department as a volunteer. Beadle’s encouragement would lead to a 31-year career of service to the citizens of Palm Coast.

He began his first shift as a career firefighter on July 3, 1995. Three years later he would be among the first to respond to the 1998 wildfires that devastated Palm Coast.

When the fire department officially transferred under the control of the city of Palm Coast in January 2001, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Major became among the agency’s first paramedics when

they established their Advanced Life Support program.

Major was promoted to captain in April 2009 to succeed recently promoted Deputy Chief Jerry Forte. After his promotion, he was tested yet again as the first on-scene incident commander for the FEC Train Derailment. He was promoted to battalion chief in January 2017. As captain and battalion chief he has served as the shift commander for C-Shift, where he served as a mentor to many of the department’s members.

“I have had the distinct honor of knowing Chief Major his entire career watching him grow from a novice firefighter to what could be one of the best chief officers in the state” Fire Chief Jerry Forte said.

“He has been a mentor, leader and

trusted brother to all the firefighters. To me, he has been a reliable sounding board to keep me centered and most of all, a great friend. I will certainly miss him.”

Major completed his final shift on May 6, 2022; but he was able to give back one more time before his retirement. The Major name carries on in legacy as his son Tyler, a department intern will begin his first shift as a career firefighter.

Sean Major was a 1990 graduate of Flagler Palm Coast High School.

He obtained his firefighter from Flagler Adult Education, EMT Certifications from Daytona State College and his Paramedic Certification from Hart Start. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Public Administration from Flagler College.

patients every year to area hospitals.

As medical director, Dr. Springer — who is a licensed, board-certified emergency medicine physician — is responsible for establishing standing orders and treatment protocols for all EMS personnel working in the field.

During his tenure, Dr. Springer established a countywide paramedic clearing program to ensure the competency of clinical providers before they’re approved to provide patient care. He also created a comprehensive stroke protocol, established a stand-alone emergency medical dispatch program as well as an innovative nurse triage program to better assess the medical and treatment needs of callers.

“There’s no doubt that Volusia County is safer and lives have been saved as a result of Dr. Springer’s efforts,” Recktenwald said. “I’m sure the entire community joins me in thanking Peter for his service.”

budgeted revenue freed up in the county’s general fund as a result of COVID relief money the county received from the federal government.

The council approved a long list of projects in February that were prioritized for financial support out of the funds the county is receiving from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA. The list includes community projects for things such as broadband enhancements, affordable housing, mental health and substance abuse, stormwater improvements and the establishment of a juvenile assessment center.

On Tuesday, the council finalized a funding agreement for one of the projects — $1 million to Halifax Urban Ministries to help pay for renovations to create a facility to provide temporary shelter and social services for homeless veterans.

HUM already operates a homeless shelter for veterans in Daytona Beach. But it’s moving the facility about 3 miles away to the new site at 962 Derbyshire Road. The County Council rezoned the new, 2.35-acre site in April to pave the way for the homeless facility. Currently, there’s a fellowship hall, a single-family home, a church sanctuary and a community garden at the site. The plan is to renovate the fellowship hall and home on the property to create 20 private shelter residences.

Pursuant to the contract the council approved on Tuesday, the $1 million will be disbursed to HUM

in four installments — $300,000 by June 15, $300,000 when the building permit is issued, $200,000 when construction is 50% completed and the final $200,000 installment when construction is 75% completed.

The County Council vote on Tuesday was unanimous.

agreed on both suggestions, though added that if there was a pressing emergency issue the elected officials were actively collaborating on, meetings should be held more frequently than once a quarter.

“For instance, during the pandemic, I think that this was very helpful for all our cities to be able to share information and get information directly from certain people,” he said.

But changing the time could impact some municipalities who have workshops or government meetings Monday evening.

The issue will be brought forward again at a later meeting for discussion.

will fail more miserably than the first one did.”

“The public doesn’t think that we’re taking the way that we’re developing, the requirements that lead to more and more infrastructure — they don’t we’re taking it seriously,” Brower said.

Before such a committee is formed, he said the elected officials should form a committee of their own where they speak about topics like what each municipality is doing to examine their comprehensive land use standards to regulate density.

Burnette said that there were a lot of problems with the last sales tax initiative.

“It’s like a Christmas tree,” he said.

“You put too many ornaments on it.

They look nice but it falls over. That’s kind of what happened. There were a lot of things that didn’t belong.”

What he was seeking was an effort to bring into focus what needs Volusia County is facing right now before more growth is added. Since it is being pushed until 2023, Burnette said that each municipality should internally assess and prioritize their infrastructure needs and be prepared for January.

The roundtable will meet again on Sept. 12.

Flagler County disposes of 75 pounds of medications Residents of Flagler County utilized the National Prescription Drug Take Back locations, provided by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, to safely and properly dispose of 74.75 pounds of unneeded or expired medication on Saturday, April 30.

“I want to thank the community for helping to dispose of unwanted and expired prescriptions properly and safely,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

The goal of the 2022 National Prescription Drug Take Back is to address crucial public safety and public health issues. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained by family and friends, often from a home medicine cabinet.

BRIEFS OBPD: Pro wrestler who caused fatal crash was drunk A WWE Hall of Famer who caused a fatal three-car crash on U.S. 1 on March 25, was arrested on Friday, May 6, after toxicology results showed she was driving under the influence at the time of the crash.

Tamara Lynn Sytch, 49, known by her ring name “Sunny,” had failed to stop around 8:28 p.m. while driving southbound on U.S. 1 just north of Granada Boulevard and crashed into a stopped vehicle, according to Ormond Beach Police. The second vehicle driven by Julian Lafrancis Lasseter of Daytona Beach Shores, crashed into the car in front of it.

Lasseter was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police report that Sytch’s toxicology results, obtained via a search warrant shortly after the crash, determined her blood-alcohol limit was 3.5 times higher than the lawful limit to operate a motor vehicle.

OBPD investigators on Friday, May 6, with the assistance of the State Attorney’s Office for the 7th Judicial Circuit, obtained an arrest warrant for Sytch. She was located at the Hard Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach shortly before 10 p.m. and arrested and transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail with the assistance of the Daytona Beach Police Department.

Drug-laced birthday cards sent to Flagler jail inmates Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies recently busted an inmate

trying to smuggle suboxone strips through letters addressed to him from outside the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Facility. The FCSO Special Investigations Unit conducted an investigation regarding two inmates at the jail trying to arrange an illegal narcotics delivery. Deputies determined 26-year-old Eric Marcotte was having mail sent to him, specifically birthday cards, with suboxone strips glued inside them.

Detectives first intercepted a piece of mail addressed to Marcotte on April 27. Detectives found a birthday card with a peeling corner. As they inspected the card, they discovered a silver strip of tape located in between the card paper containing two strips of suboxone. Detectives made a controlled delivery of the “birthday cards” and then arrested him.

“An inmate at the Green Roof Inn just extended his stay,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Marcotte was charged with Introduction of Contraband into a Correctional Facility. Marcotte was arrested in February on two felony charges for Grand Theft and Carjacking. He’s being held without bond. He’s previously been charged in Florida with multiple drug and weapons charges.

Fleeing suspected drug dealer caught at Ormond Walmart

A fleeing suspected drug dealer and his passenger were taken into custody in a Walmart parking lot on Thursday after they fled from New Smyrna Beach to DeLand and finally to Ormond Beach.

The silver Honda Accord fled from an attempted traffic stop the morning of Thursday, May 5, after a New Smyrna Beach police officer saw it swerving on the road with the driver’s door open, nearly colliding with people on bicycles while the driver, Laterrick Jones, 30, of New Smyrna Beach, offered to sell them drugs.

Jones remained held at the Volusia County Branch Jail with a total bond of $43,500.

The passenger, Jonathon Watson, 32, of Daytona Beach, began casually walking away in the parking lot when he saw law enforcement, but was spotted by VSO Capt. Ben Yis-

FCSO hosts 2022 Fallen Officers Memorial The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office hosted the 2022 Fallen Officer Memorial and Candlelight Vigil on May 5 just outside of the Flagler County Courthouse.

The Coastal Florida Police and Fire Pipes and Drums, St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office bugler, FCSO Honor Guard, FCSO Chaplains and family members or relatives all participated during the ceremony and paid tribute to fallen law enforcement officers near and far.

In 2021, the FCSO mourned the loss of Detention Deputy First Class Paul Luciano along with Bunnell Police Department’s Sgt. Dominic Guida, both of whom died in the line of duty. Luciano worked in the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and contracted COVID-19, ultimately succumbing to complications of the virus. Guida, previously a deputy sheriff with FCSO, worked for BPD and had a fatal heart attack during a training exercise. The ceremony also honored FBI Agent Daniel Alfin, son

of Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin.

“In 2021, 616 extraordinary officers across our nation laid down their lives in service of others,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “These men and women ran toward danger, and 55 of those officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our safety were from Florida. ... Memorial services like this one serves as a reminder of the price that is paid by some to keep the peace for many.”

The ceremony honored all law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty: Sheriff Perry Hall, End of Watch August 21, 1927; Deputy George “Son” Durrance, End of Watch August 24, 1927; Sheriff Homer Brooks, End of Watch March 23, 1965; Deputy Charles “Chuck” Sease, End of Watch July 5, 2003; Sgt.

Two felons back at Flagler jail after deputies serve arrest warrants, find drugs Two habitual offenders who have previously faced a total of 27 felony charges are back at the county jail.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 39-yearold Ryan Giovine and 20-year-old Jason Chum on active warrants, and found that both men were also in possession of illegal drugs.

Deputies arrested Giovine Thursday morning, April 28, at the Country Store on County Road 305 in Bunnell after an FCSO deputy recognized him as having an active warrant.

During the arrest, deputies found Giovine in possession of drug paraphernalia.

Early Friday morning, April 29, deputies arrested Chum on drug charges after learning he was in the area and had an active warrant for Violation of Probation.

“We’re going to keep bringing these felons and poison peddlers back to the Green Roof Inn until they are held responsible for their actions by the criminal justice system,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I commend our deputies for their proactive policing. Convicted felons, fugitives and poison peddlers will get locked up every time if they continue their criminal activity in our county.”

Halifax Health adds Volusia School Board new arts coordinator to hire Dr. Balgobin Kristin Heron, of Ormond Beach, is a curator at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens.

Board to hold a special meeting on May 17 to make the offer.

JOHN GUTHRIE

The Volusia County School Board tends to be split when it comes to controversial or challenging votes, but when it came to choosing the district’s new superintendent, the board members were unanimous: They want former Deputy Superintendent Carmen Balgobin.

At the board’s meeting on Tuesday, May 10, the School Board voted to appoint Balgobin as the superintendent for a three-year term, pending the negotiation of an employment contract. The board will hold a special meeting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 17. If she accepts the district’s proposal, she would transition into the position in July.

Balgobin began working at VCS in January 2020, and served as the interim superintendent from July 2020 to February 2021 while former Superintendent Scott Fritz was out on medical leave.

She left VCS in late March to accept a deputy superintendent position with Broward County Public Schools, though the board hinted that she left under duress.

“You don’t know the true story of why she left,” School Board member Jamie Haynes said. “You don’t know what happened. I know what happened and I know why she left, and I said to her, ‘You have to go’ when she told me what was happening because no one deserves to be harmed or hurt. We’re here to educate kids and take care of people.”

Members of the public spoke against the board’s decision, asking them to go through a formal process to hire the next superintendent.

They questioned the decision not to advertise the position.

One speaker, teacher Karen Weinrich, said hiring a superintendent “without a fair and open process” would mean losing the trust of the district’s employees, students, parents and community members.

“Dr. Balgobin may very well be the best candidate for the job, but unless the process is done fairly, she will have a very difficult job ahead of her,” Weinrich said.

Kristin Heron has been hired as the first Arts in Medicine Coordinator with Halifax Health – Center for Oncology.

Heron graduated from Rollins College with a bachelor of arts degree in studio art and music and attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She also received a degree in graphic design technology from Daytona State College. At UF Health Shands, she attended the Arts in Medicine summer intensive program and volunteered at the hospital during the program.

Additionally, she is the curator of education, outreach and exhibitions at Ormond Memorial Museum and Gardens in Ormond Beach. She is a painter and photographer in her spare time.

Just as the arts enhance life outside of the healthcare setting, the Arts in Medicine program offers patients, healthcare workers, caregivers and families opportunities to connect with the parts of themselves that are still well.

“The arts give those in medical situations a way to share who they are as a whole person, rather than one defined by diagnosis, and in doing so pave a path for connection and empathy,” Heron said.

Patients will be experiencing a variety of creative

modalities starting with visual arts projects and musical performances, eventually incorporating writing, drama and more. Art projects will include collaborative art projects, music, chair-side art kits and group experiences with patient navigators.

“Being an artist herself, Kristin appreciates the benefits of artistic outlets in healthcare settings,” said Julie Roth, service line administrator for Halifax Health – Center for Oncology. “Halifax Health – Center for Oncology is proud to have Kristin on our team as she has worked with veterans and other artistic healing programs.”

Halifax Health has plans to expand this program into all aspects of its medical care with musical performance and visual art experiences.

The Arts in Medicine program is made possible by a generous $400,000 endowment from Andy and Molly Clark of All Aboard Properties. According to Andy Clark, “seeing the generosity of others prompted me to think what could we do to help people in medical need and or during treatment regimens. The idea of providing therapeutic arts was a natural.”

said that the night’s vote would send “a very strong message to the employees within Volusia County Schools.”

“It’s either going to tell them that you value their input, want to hear their voice, address their concerns and create a fair process, or it’s not,” Albert said.

The board defended its stance during the discussion.

School Board member Carl Persis said Balgobin served as interim superintendent during the bulk of the COVID-19 pandemic, having navigated the reopening of schools and the expansion and staffing needed to provide a virtual education option.

“Dr. Balgobin led the district intelligently and calmly through these very, very stressful times and did so without having a deputy superintendent to assist her,” Persis said. “Let’s be clear: Dr. Balgobin is not a female version of Dr. Fritz. She has an outgoing, very friendly, engaging personality and takes time to listen to everyone.”

Interim Superintendent Rachel Hazel was asked for her opinion, and she said that having worked directly with Balgobin, she described her as smart, kind and “a champion for students.”

“She is relentless in her pursuit of taking care of students and staff,” she said.

Chair Ruben Colon said he spoke with Balgobin the day he heard she would be leaving VCS. It was then she shared details of her situation at the district. The board didn’t share details; they felt it was her story to tell.

“Unfortunately, procedurally, we did not have the time to do what we needed to do,” he said.

Colon continued by saying Balgobin was present during the creation of the strategic plan, and hearing her speak about the district’s accomplishments made him aware of “who was doing the work.”

Colon said he felt the board’s wish to install Balgobin as its new superintendent wasn’t a secret; they had openly discussed it in past meetings. He said they had agreed to do a search, only if she turned the district down.

“For me personally, this is succession planning,” Colon said. “This is what we wanted. We wanted a deputy who could step up and she did already.”

AdventHealth unveils new helicopter Trash hauling rate to rise BRIEFS Avian flu plagues for unincorporated Flagler Volusia County The new state-of-the-

ADVENTHEALTH COMMUNICATIONS

AdventHealth’s Flight 1 program is undergoing a major expansion with the addition of a second state-of-the-art helicopter and, for the first time, a hangar at the Orlando Executive Airport that will allow the program to react faster to calls and fly more patients in need.

For the past 36 years, the Flight 1 program has relied on one rescue helicopter, callsign Archangel 1, to transport

an emergency respiratory therapist, in addition to a flight nurse, on every flight.

The new helicopter can also hold more oxygen and carry heavier loads.

Also as part of the expansion, AdventHealth is leasing a 7,000-square-foot hangar to store both helicopters and some of its ambulance fleet and is renovating an adjacent 10,000-square-foot office building for the hospital’s Emergency Medical Services.

Until now, the hospital system’s helicopter was stored on the Orlando campus.

Slated to finish construction in 2023, the building will house administrative offices for the Flight 1 program and a simulator used to train team members from the flight and ground rescue fleets.

YOUR TOWN PORTUGUESE SOCIETY PRAYS FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE The ladies of the Portuguese Rosary Society of Palm Coast invited the Portuguese community of Palm Coast to come and pray the rosary in Portuguese at the foot of the image of Our Lady of Fatima, for peace in Ukraine, on Tuesday, March 29. The group also announced that it would make a fundraiser collection to send to Ukraine for those in need.

The donations will be given to the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and it will be forwarded to the Diocese of St. Augustine, and then be delivered to Ukraine.

About 50 people attended and raised close to $700 on behalf of our community.

The Portuguese Rosary Society of Palm Coast was formed in 2009 by Felismina Bico, mother of the late Father António Bico from New Jersey, and she is still the person in charge of the group that is part of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. This group of ladies meet every Tuesday at 6 p.m. to pray the rosary (in Portuguese), and the community is welcome.

They also offer their services to the Portuguese community for the prayer of the rosary in case of need for the sick or family deaths.

The image of Our Lady of Fatima is located in the rear of the church’s parking lot, is made of white marble, was transported from Portugal and donated by two Portuguese ladies to the Church of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Palm Coast a few years ago.

Waste Pro is raising its rates to $25 a month.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Earlier this year, Palm Coast’s waste hauling contractor, Waste Pro, announced a steep increase in rates — 47%, starting June 1. Now unincorporated Flagler County, which Waste Pro serves through a “piggyback” contract modeled on Palm Coast’s, is also facing an increase.

Rates in unincorporated Flagler County will increase from the current $19.82 to $25 per month. The increase would be steeper — Waste Pro will actually be charging $29.77 per month — but the county has an ordinance in place that caps monthly rates charged to unincorporated area residents at $25 per month, or $300 per year.

The county will have to cover the $4.77 per month per resident remainder until it can change the ordinance.

“Essentially, you’ve got a difference of about $4 a month that we are not able to currently collect from the resident that would be receiving the service,” County Administrator Heidi Petito told county commissioners at a May 2 commission meeting.

Once the ordinance changes to increase the allowable monthly rate, unincorporated area residents will see their rates rise slightly above $29.77 as the county government recoups the money it covered for residents while the $25 per month cap was in place.

The county hadn’t budgeted for the increase because it was informed of the change after it set this year’s budget, Petito said.

The increase was, in part, a result of Palm Coast’s decision to only enter into a oneyear contract with Waste Pro — the city has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the hauler’s service and is seeking other options.

In Palm Coast, the rate hike takes rates from $20.36 per month to $29.97 per month, while the hauler will be suspending the city’s Recycling Rewards and Hazardous Waste Collection programs and adding new limits on yard waste and bulk items.

“In the short term, we will be covering that additional cost to the resident, the difference between our maximum that we’re allowed to collect and the amount being charged by the waste hauler, but we will go back to the resident the following year when we’re able to put that in the assessment,” Petito said.

Avian flu continues to be detected in Volusia County.

Technically known as highly pathogenic avian influenza, the disease was documented in Volusia County in February when three sick water birds were brought to the Marine Science Center and park rangers at Hontoon Island State Park noticed that black vultures were dying at higherthan-normal rates.

Since then, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has confirmed the virus in 24 counties.

Wild birds can carry the virus but may not always show signs of illness. Vultures are of particular concern because they can pick up the virus while feeding on carcasses.

Domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks and turkeys are also at risk because they seem to have less ability to fight off the disease.

There is a low risk of transmission to humans, but in late April the CDC confirmed the first human case in the United States: A Colorado man who had direct exposure to poultry and the culling of birds. He has recovered.

The FWC advises the public to avoid handling sick or dead wild birds, keep wild birds away from domestic birds, and report wild bird mortalities at https://app.myfwc. com/FWRI/AvianMortality/.

LETTERS Bicentennial Park, a hidden gem in Ormond Beach Dear Editor: Yes, this is an amazing complex for those of us living beachside, and it has much to offer. There is tennis, basketball, softball, biking, walking, dog parks, bathrooms and parking — plus a wonderful and safe playground for our children. We truly are blessed by this well-maintained recreational jewel.

However, the county is attempting to add pickleball at Bicentennial Park at the expense of taking 25% from the tennis program. We strongly encourage the County Council to construct a pickleball court/s on the unused concrete surface to the west of the wall where there is ample room. There already are two state-of-the-art basketball courts there, which are rarely used so there is absolutely no need to add two more basketball courts.

This is a win-win for our taxpayers and a plan that Tim Baylie and the council should adopt — the sooner the better.

PADDLE-OUT CEREMONY HELD FOR FALLEN RETIRED BEACH SAFETY OFFICER

PACE CENTER FOR GIRLS CELEBRATES ITS STAFF

A late retired Volusia County Beach Safety officer was recently given a final honorable send-off.

Robert Joseph Augustynowski was a dedicated Beach Safety officer until his retirement in 2014, having started as a lifeguard in 1981, according to a family statement. He died on Oct. 15, 2021.

On Saturday, April 16, during the weekend of Easter, the Augustynowski family, friends, community and Volusia County Beach Safety held a paddle-out ceremony for Augustynowski. The ceremony began with prayer and followed by words from his closest friends, including statements shared by his children and wife Jackie, to whom he’d been married for 20 years.

Then, experienced surfers took on a challenging paddle-out, as Augustynowski’s wife and children rode on a jet ski.

“There was such a significance for this event to be held on Easter weekend,” the family statement read.

“There is definitely no better way to honor Bobby.”

During his 33 years with Beach Safety, Augustynowski, was awarded two medals of valor. He retired in 2014 on Good Friday from the same Ormond lifeguard station his paddleout ceremony was held.

“Bobby’s legacy lives on as so much more than as a respected beach patrol officer for 33 years,” the statement continues. “His legacy continues on through both

As part of the school’s Staff Appreciation Week, the Pace Center for Girls participated in challenges throughout the week and won a variety of prizes.

The challenges, conducted through a game of Survivor, began on Monday, May 2, and ran through Wednesday, May 4. According to an email, when staff arrived on Monday morning, they were greeted with signs displayed throughout the building that provided them with clues for what they were about to experience. Staff spun a wheel to reveal a number that coincided with a secret challenge to be completed for points. The wheel also presented opportunities to win prizes and acquire mystery envelopes, with the goal to earn the most points to become the winner.

Challenges included anything from playing out “The Masked Singer” to mini-marshmallow bombing, to holding a dance party in the hall.

“The teachers and staff enjoyed themselves and won lots of prizes,” said Tamara Huth, community engagement coordinator in an email.

“The girls enjoyed watching their teachers, counselors, and other adult figures participating in such wild antics.

The Pace Center for Girls was founded in 1985 and provides free year-round academics for middle and high school students, in addition to case management, counseling, and the development of life skills.

Pace’s model has positively impacted over 40,000 girls, according to the center.

My wife put this incident on the neighbor website for Plantation Bay, and we have had over 100 responses of people relating similar near accidents with trucks running that light.

I recorded the information off the truck as it was waiting to get on I-95 south and later called them. The driver told me there is no way to safely stop at that intersection if you are carrying a heavy load, and my discussion with the Sheriff’s Office in Volusia verified that as well. Just a few weeks ago, a tractor trailer was in the ditch at the entrance to Plantation Bay coming from the south side of U.S. 1 and traffic was detoured for hours getting around that accident scene. Maybe the data does not support doing anything with this intersection, but many of us here in Plantation Bay know people who have been killed there over the years.

A great idea by Commissioner Kent was said during a City Commission meeting to replace the water-needy and costly highmaintenance grass with beautiful and resilient Perennial Peanut or Asiatic Jasmine.

A no-reclaimed water notice issued by the city and seeing water streams all over Granada coming from sprinklers for the St. Augustine grass atop the medians this past week reminded me of that idea.

As we’ve all seen in this past year, things aren’t getting any less costly and the water environment isn’t getting any more clean. It’s time to take action.

But this time, also facing his captain, Myles Camputaro, a dear friend of his father and an equally fierce competitor. Seth Augustynowski made it to the final round and won.

Ormond Beach artist Thays França works on her painting for the final round

WINNER, WINNER The winner of the One Daytona Art Battle was Neysa Millán, of Orlando.

Millán, who grew up in Daytona Beach, had participated in the last local Art Battle event held during the Daytona Beach Arts Fest in early April. Though she had made it to the final round, she didn’t win.

So walking into the battle on at Gallery500, a win is what she was aiming for.

Both of her paintings were purchased at the auction as well.

What inspires her art? Portraying beauty in order to draw emotion out.

“If I have subject matters that are sad or whatever, I try to make it beautiful,” Millán said.

It was a battle of artful proportions.

Twelve artists showcased their talent during an Art Battle event at Gallery500 at One Daytona on Friday, May 6. Art Battle, a live painting competition where artists compete to create works in just 20 minutes to be voted into a final round, is held in over 50 cities worldwide, and this event determined the artist that would represent Daytona Beach and the surrounding art community at the state championship.

Held in conjunction with Ormond Beach artist Angel Lowden and Imagine Daytona, in addition to benefitting the individual artists — whose works were auctioned off — the event also benefited Jeep Beach.

“To watch something go from a blank canvas to a beautiful painting in 20 minutes is exhilarating for a crowd to watch,” Lowden said. “I think it gives the artists an opportunity to get outside of the box for a little bit and test their abilities to think on their feet while they’re painting.”

A national Art Battle championship is set for April 2023, and Lowden said they are hoping the event is held at One Daytona.

The adrenaline and nerves of the artists were visible prior to each round.

Ormond Beach artist Thays França expressed her nerves by jumping, cheering and getting the crowd excited. She said when she’s nervous, “the energy just starts coming out of my pores. I can’t sit still.”

“If you don’t make challenges for yourself, then you’re never going to grow as an artist,” França said. “I just love putting myself in situations that are not easy, but I love this event. I love that Ormond and Daytona are getting together to actually do some art.”

Her supporters also extended from beyond Gallery500’s walls — Though her mom wasn’t able to be present, she was able to watch the event’s livestream from Brazil.

Competing in the Art Battle was also Gallery500 owner Lesa Kennedy, who said it was honor to be able to host the event.

“It’s also an extension of some of the things we’re trying to do in bringing art to this area,” Kennedy said. “This is a really, really nice event and nice complementary event to what we’re doing.”

Jeep Beach Executive Director Charlene Greer urged the crowd to bid on the artists’ works throughout the day, emphasizing that proceeds would help local children.

“It’s our responsibility as a community to make sure we’re raising the next generation to show the world what Daytona Beach is about, and it is about beauty, it is about art and it is about supporting each other,” she said.

THE FINE ARTS COLOR CUBES Palm Coast resident David Rubello, born in 1935 in Detroit, designed this six-story mural, called “Color Cubes,” in 1972, in Detroit. It remained for over 40 years, until it was painted over for an advertisement — an enormous picture of a cat, Rubello said with a smile. “Public art is for everyday people to see often, and they appreciate it more as it becomes a landmark in their daily lives,” he wrote. “My ‘Color Cubes’ mural has a dimensional aspect where the cubes visually flip, thereby giving the viewer a renewed visual experience.”

The mural led to another commission for a store in Detroit in 2017, and he continues to paint daily, he said. This spring, in 2022, three more designs were commissioned to be painted on outdoor basketball courts in Detroit, and, from Sept. 8 to December this year, a retrospective of Rubello’s work will be on display at the University of Michigan, Dearborn campus.

Drive and surprise Flagler event distributes 162 scholarships to high school seniors BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Converting the Flagler County Senior Scholarship Ceremony from an assembly to a “Drive and Surprise” event two years ago was a matter of necessity.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was how successful the new approach would become. Instead of high school seniors receiving their awards on stage, the scholarship sponsors, teachers and administrators drove to the recipients’ homes to personally present them with their scholarships and yard signs announcing their achievements.

“The Drive and Surprise is the best thing that came out of the pandemic.

It gave so much more meaning than walking across a stage,” said Christy Butler, the Ed Foundation’s student services coordinator.

Foundation executive director Joe Rizzo, who died in March, came up with the idea, so the class of 2020 would not be denied a scholarship ceremony. Now, the Drive and Surprise is the permanent model, only bigger and better.

The 36th-annual ceremony was held on Monday, May 2. Ed Foundation assistant director Rebecca Bower organized the event, which began with a barbecue picnic and debriefing for about 250 drive participants outside of the Government Services Building.

Scholarship representatives and Flagler Schools employees then had a shotgun start, taking 29 district vehicles and five personal vehicles to distribute 162 scholarships worth a total of about $380,000 to the homes of Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high school seniors. Each vehicle made about six to eight stops.

“The excitement we had with the teachers, organizations and with the families was amazing,” said Dr. Jennifer Thornton, the Ed Foundation’s executive board president. “It is inspiring to watch a community come together to celebrate our 2022 graduating seniors.”

Scholarships were provided by 59 business and organizations, including Take Stock in Children, which the Ed Foundation facilitates in Flagler County. Seniors began applying for the scholarships in October on an online platform. After answering questions, they were matched up with the scholarships they qualified for and then they could complete the application process on the same platform.

The African American Mentoring Program also provided a scholarship for one of its participants — Schneald Castor of FPC — and the African American Mentoring Program for Girls provided scholarships, to Samira Renee Taite-Headspeth of FPC and Sofia Curtain of Matanzas.

The Rotary Club of Flagler Beach and the Rotary Club of Flagler County provided a total of 14 scholarships.

Some organizations sent large groups to the students’ homes. High school teachers, administrators and guidance counselors, and even middle school and elementary school teachers who surprised their former students, participated in the distributions. Students were told to be home between 5:30 and 8 p.m., but they weren’t told what scholarships they would receive.

In some cases, the students had

conflicts. For example, Matanzas’ Bailey Russell had a district baseball game at St. Johns River State College in Palatka, and FPC’s Preston Roberts had a district baseball game at Creekside High School in northern St. Johns County.

Matanzas athletic director Jordan Butler presented Russell with his scholarships — Take Stock in Children and the A1A Burrito Works Kimball Family Scholarship — at the

baseball field. And Christy Butler, Teresa Rizzo, FPC principal Greg Schwartz and Ed Foundation board president-elect Ann-Marie Zweifel presented Roberts with the Joe Rizzo Memorial Scholarship.

“The Drive and Surprise brings the community, the families and the schools all together with a reason to celebrate,” Ed Foundation operations specialist Shelley Wheeler said.

BUSINESS OBSERVER Q+A JAN CULLINANE, ‘THE NEW RETIREMENT’ AUTHOR

Health, friends, finance: the whole picture of retirement BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

J

an Cullinane wrote, “The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life,” in 2004, which reached the overall No. 2 ranking on Amazon.com. The third edition of the book will be released May 10.

So much has changed since the previous edition came out in 2007 that this is almost a completely new book, she said.

Cullinane has lived in Hammock Beach for the past 16 years with her husband, Roger, a CPA. Her other books include “Retire Happy” and “The Single Woman’s Guide to Retirement.” She takes a holistic approach to retirement. A former community college science and health psychology instructor, Cullinane concentrates on well-being while leaning on Roger’s financial expertise. Her philosophy is summed up on a coffee mug that says, “Create a life you don’t need a vacation from.”

Cullinane also has an unusual talent. She speaks backward fluently. For example, “this is what it sounds like,” looks and sounds like: “siht si tahw ti sdnuos ekil,” when Cullinane turns it around.

In a recent interview with the Observer, Cullinane discussed what people should think about before they retire and what it was like to try out for David Letterman’s Stupid Human Tricks.

What is a holistic approach to retirement?

I didn’t want it to just be about money, which so often it seems everything is. I wanted it to be about lifestyle. I wanted it to be about relocation, about health, about making friends, about all the other things when you think about retirement.

It’s been 15 years since the second edition came out. What has changed since then?

The new book is quite updated with more recent research and with anecdotes from people who have lived very interesting kinds of lives. New kinds of communities are being built now. I mean, there’s niche communities for everyone.

So for example, Margaritaville, that wasn’t around back then. But now, that whole idea of a lifestyle where everything is sort of in one place, they’re certainly going after this (showing her coffee mug), about living a life you don’t need a vacation from. Vacation may not be the best word, because I think you need to have some sort of a purpose: to make yourself better, to help others be better.

Some people have trouble with not working anymore. Some people never retire. What advice do you have for people struggling to make that transition?

So many people in retirement do work or create their own job or create their own way of making additional money. When you hear the word retirement, you think of over the hill, you think you’re done being worthwhile. You don’t want to view your life like that. You can reinvent yourself and use (retirement) as an opportunity. I call it the 168 hours a week that people have when they leave their primary job.

When you think about how much our job shapes us, and now you have perhaps 168 hours a week stretching out ahead of you, you need to (find) structure. So yes, a lot of people are not financially prepared.

But when you think of all the things work provides for you: It does give you a sense of your own self worth, it does give you the something to wake up for every morning, it does give you social support, it does give you a structure to your day. So, you have to replace those in retirement.

If you’re thinking every day you’re just going to wake up without a plan, I don’t think that’s kind of a healthy thing to do for most of us.

To impose some structure, I think is important. But it’s also the opportunity to reinvent yourself to do things that you maybe never have tried before. Go places you’ve never gone before or start your own busi-

ness or do something that’s been a passion, pick up a new sport. All those wonderful kinds of things.

Can you give three tips, financially and otherwise, for people who are about to retire?

There are a lot of people who are not financially prepared, that is for sure. I would say you should really start planning as early as possible.

I’d also suggest that you do get professional help from either a certified financial planner or perhaps a CPA if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Nonfinancially, a big thing is location. Your location really drives a lot of your activities. You probably heard that Palm Coast, according to Retirement Living, was ranked the No. 1 city to retire in. I think environment really shapes our behavior.

Just speaking of myself, living in a place where the weather is pleasant, I mean I like to ski and things like that, but I have to say I like the nice whether. I can become an avid tennis player, which to me, takes in all those ingredients. It’s social, it’s exercise. A place like Margaritaville has a club component. A lot of people are extroverts, a lot are introverts. With that club component, if you don’t like initiating things, you have somebody who can set up programs for you and you can just sort of go there and attend and not have to make the effort yourself to create social relationships.

Because, you might have heard that statistic that being lonely is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

We need other people around.

The other thing I’d say is about your house. There’s a concept called universal design that your house should be able to age with you. So, that’s things like having nonslip flooring. If you’re building a house, there’s an entire list that you can get that I actually include in the book. Things like, (doorways) wide enough for a wheelchair if you need to get to that point, an entrance on the ground floor or somewhere you could put a ramp in if you needed to. And if you have children, are you going to live close to them? Are they going to be scattered, or are you gonna go where they go, but then they may be transferred? Those are all the kinds of things I think people ought to be thinking about.

What are some common mistakes people should avoid?

I think a lot of people stay in their house beyond the point they should. They may not be able to easily access it as they get older.

The other thing is being sure everyone has access to all the financial information. Don’t just have the woman doing everything or the

man doing everything. Or if you’re single and you have children, you need to decide who’s going to have access. In fact, one of our neighbors actually wrote a little booklet for his spouse and it was entitled, “If I die.” It had all the passwords and everything in it because she was not interested in that area. But yet he had it all there for her.

Thinking about living in your house and making sure you can age in place, because the biggest predictor of going into a nursing home is actually the ability to get up out of a chair, as far as physically needing help. And so, you need to be sure you’re able to access the things in your house. And the third I would say is the social aspect. A lot of people may be aging in place and then their friends move away or they pass away or the spouse passes away. And so you need to be involved in things so you always have some sort of a social group to interact with. That’s very important for the mind as well as for the body.

What is speaking backward fluently?

It’s a crazy thing. I can visualize the word and then say it backwards.

What was the local tryout like for Letterman’s Stupid Human Tricks?

I thought, mine won’t come across, because it sounds like gobbledygook, right? One woman, she could play the violin very beautifully, but she sat on the floor and she could take her legs and wrap them back around her neck. Now that was visually very cool. Another guy could take his uvula, you know the little thing that hangs down in the back of your throat, and grab it and

pull it out. Another person, and I didn’t think this one was so great, he took an entire roll of aluminum foil, and he balled it up and stuck it in his mouth. The only thing I was thinking was what if he had cavities. Ever bite on metal with metal fillings?

Did any of these people make it onto the show?

No, they didn’t. A (reporter) wrote up a little thing for the local newspaper. He did mention me, and I think he liked words, so he was sort of fascinated that I could do that.

Ever make use of this talent?

Yeah, at the University of Maryland.

Remember speech class? I had to do

the extemporaneous speech. And so I thought, Well, I’m gonna take this ability to talk backwards and use it no matter what (subject) I pick.

So I picked out how to be the life of the party. I said, some people will do this or tell jokes, but I can talk backwards.

When did you realize you could do this?

I think it’s when my parents made us to to church every Sunday. Looking through those missals. From the time I was a kid, I can just visualize the words. Yeah, it’s an odd thing.

The Pumphouse will open in time for Memorial Day weekend A grand opening is scheduled for the new Ormond Beach restaurant.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

It’s official. Barbecue is coming to Ormond Beach’s downtown.

The Pumphouse Barbecue and Smokehouse will be a fast-casual joint located at 124 W. Granada Blvd.

The restaurant is four years in the making, and will be opening in time for Memorial Day weekend, with a grand opening to be celebrated during the weekend of Fourth of July.

For owner Rob West, of Ormond Beach, it’s been an enjoyable journey, but he’s ready to finally open his restaurant.

“Downtown Ormond Beach just deserves good barbecue, and we’re going to bring it to them,” West said.

West and his friend James Friedman came up with the concept of the Pumphouse in 2018. After taking a look at the downtown district, the former blighted gas station at 100 W. Granada Blvd. caught their eye.

He said that they felt there had to be something that could be done with the building.

At the time, he and Friedman were leading a community group of about 30 young adults at Salty Church and every Wednesday night, they would feed them — barbecue, of course.

They found it was tasty and efficient

BIZ BUZZ GROUND WILL BE BROKEN FOR 285-UNIT DEVELOPMENT DOS PALMAS NEXT MONTH The Klotz Group of Companies, a Jacksonville-based private equity real estate investment platform, in partnership with KABR Group, has closed on a $38 million construction loan for their newest multifamily development, Dos Palmas, at 100 Ariella Place in Palm Coast, at the corner of Matanzas Woods and Belle Terre parkways.

The team is expected to break ground on the development next month, and completion is expected in January 2024. Regions Bank provided the loan.

“Palm Coast is great city with great leadership and a strong future. It is currently one of the top five fastest growing cities in the entire country, with a population that is expected to double by 2035,” said Jeff Klotz, CEO of The Klotz Group of Companies.

“This is the perfect time for us to expand our footprint in that market which offers a prime location between Orlando and Jacksonville.”

The 285 units at Dos Palmas will include one-, two- and three-bedroom units.

for feeding a large crowd.

That’s when they realized that there were no barbecue restaurants in the downtown. Together with developer Bill Jones, they worked to change that. Originally, the Pumphouse was going to open in the gas station building at 100 W. Granada Blvd., but the needed changes to the property to make the restaurant a success were too expensive. Today, the building houses Neighborhood Scoop, an ice cream parlor that recently opened.

Jones didn’t give up on the idea, though. He had just purchased the building next door at 124 W. Granada Blvd. and suggested they move the Pumphouse project there, which is part of the reason the restaurant took a little longer than expected to open. “[Jones] was like, ‘Hang with me guys, and it’ll be worth it,” West recalled. “So after we decided to transition to this building and make that building an ice cream shop, it all turned out better.”

West has been in the restaurant industry since he was 18, having worked at The Garlic in New Smyrna Beach most recently. He is also an architect, and the Pumphouse worked to combine his two passions, having been involved in construction when he served on church missions abroad. West wanted the inside of the Pumphouse to have an industrial feel to complement Jones’ vision for the exterior of the building.

The restaurant has been doing catering since about 2018, though

Beach. The new store location measures 5,378 square feet.

The current store will stop accepting donations on May 16. All donations starting on May 16 will be accepted at the new location. The existing store on Granada Boulevard. will remain open to the public until May 31.

The soft opening for the new store will be on June 1, with the official grand opening to be on June 4 from 9-11 a.m.

The public is invited to join staff and volunteers for music, special discounts, raffles, great prizes, and more.

“Our thrift store now has a new manager and a beautiful new space,” said Dawn B. Duncan, director of development. “Please consider donating your gently used items and visiting Rescue ReTail to hunt for treasures, knowing your purchase directly helps the animals at the shelter.”

Store hours at the new location will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Sunday. Visit http://www.halifaxhumanesociety.org/thrift-store/index

STETSON STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR TO BE FEATURED ON NEW TV SHOW There’s exciting news from Stetson’s School of Business Administration: Junior Kendall Buck, class of 2023, an entrepreneurship and management major, will be featured on a new TV show — Fox Business Network’s “Billion Dollar Idea.”

On the show, Buck and other contestants will compete for $1 million in startup funding from billionaire entrepreneur Ben Weiss. The show debuted Tuesday, April 26, at 9 p.m. on FBN. Buck is one of 15 entrepreneurs from 15 cities who will go head-tohead, testing their ideas with the hopes of being the big winner. The show will air for weeks to come on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m.

Weiss created Bai, a revolutionary beverage company that was sold for $1.7 billion.

Buck has already made news with her groundbreaking product, Herbtastic, a kitchen tool that strips leaves from the stems of many types of herbs and spices. She has won several prod-

uct competitions as part of Stetson’s highly successful Prince Entrepreneurship Leaders program.

As a sophomore Buck created her product under the guidance of Lou Paris, professor and director of Stetson’s Joseph C. Prince Entrepreneurship Program, which houses the Prince Entrepreneurship Leaders program.

The product was built at Stetson’s Innovation Lab. “Kendall had a spark in her eye,” Paris said. “She was very articulate and animated, and most importantly she had a deep desire to do it. You never know what you’re going to get as you start developing these ideas. Students can understandably get frustrated and fizzle out on it, but Kendall never did.”

Being on a TV show was something Buck didn’t expect.

“It never occurred to me that I could be doing this while I was in college,” Buck said. “The fact that Stetson encourages student entrepreneurship is amazing and opened up a lot of doors

The advice helped me tremendously. Even though it’s hard work, it does pay off if you are willing to commit yourself to always being on the clock.

What have been the biggest obstacles to opening or running your business? How have you overcome them?

My biggest obstacle in starting my business was figuring out how I would get the capital and financing to start up. I started when I was 26 years old by borrowing over $100,000. Failure was not an option — I took the word out of my vocabulary. My success came from working hard, surrounding myself with other successful business people, feeding off the knowledge they gave, staying away from the negative, learning and taking care of my customers.

SPORTS Sprinting to states BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

This was not the senior track season Jada Williams expected. And yet, her final race at Flagler Palm Coast High School ended the way she might have envisioned. With big hugs and tears of joy.

Williams qualified for the Class 4A state championships in the 800-meter run with the fifth-best qualifying time in the field. The 800 is a race she never expected to compete in this season. But then, nothing has turned out this spring the way she planned.

Williams was one of seven FPC track and field athletes to qualify in individual events for state at the Region 1-4A meet on May 7 at FPC. The Bulldogs also qualified in the

FPC’s Williams, Murray, 4x400 relay among top seeds at state track meet

PIRATES' COX, HOWARD QUALIFY FOR STATE Two Matanzas athletes qualified for the Class 3A track and field championships May 13 at the University of Florida's Percy Beard Track.

Junior Bradyn Cox broke his own school record in the discus with a throw of 149 feet, 5 inches to finish fifth at the Region 1-3A meet May 6 in Fort Walton Beach. He is seeded eighth at state.

Sophomore Sierra Howard placed fifth in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:22.88 and is seeded 14th at state.

boys 4x400 and 4x100 relays. D.J. Murray qualified in the 400-meter run and is also a member of both relay teams. Gerod Tolbert qualified in triple jump and 4x100, Jake Blumengarten qualified in shot put, Isaiah Joseph qualified in 300 hurdles and the 4x400 and Zeli Hayworth qualified in javelin.

On the girls’ side, freshman Maya Tyson qualified in shot put with a school-record 38 feet, three-quarters of an inch to finish sixth at the region meet and attain the 10th seed at the state championships May 14 at the University of Florida’s Percy Beard Track.

Murray is heading to state as the seventh seed in the 400 after finishing as the runner-up for the second week in a row to Sandalwood’s David Terry. Murray ran a 48.68 into a headwind, with Terry edging him by just over a tenth of a second at 48.56.

Murray runs the anchor leg on the 4x400 relay, which finished second with a season-best time of 3:19.29 and is seeded fourth at state.

Tolbert is seeded 10th at state in the triple jump after finishing fourth at region with a personalbest leap of 44 feet, 2 inches. This is Tolbert’s first year running track.

He started the season using distance spikes. Now he has a pair of gold Dreameagle sprinting spikes.

Gerod Tolbert qualified for state in the triple jump wearing Dreameagle sprinting spikes.

Jada Williams (8) runs ahead of Alisha Boyer (1) of Orlando Evans in the 800.

"That was my last race on this track. I definitely left it on a good note. And I'm really grateful I can have one last race."

JADA WILLIAMS

WILLIAMS SHIFTS GEARS

Williams, who will run for the University of North Florida next year, had several goals this season after finishing ninth in the 1,600 meters and 11th in the 3,200 at state last year. Podium finishes in those two events and the school record in the 3,200 to go with her school record in the 1,600 appeared to be attainable until a series of injuries delayed her season for six weeks.

A severe IT band injury required physical therapy. By the time she could run again, the season was more than half over.

“It was really stressful,” she said.

“Getting back wasn’t easy. Everybody else was getting ahead when I was just getting into it. But my injury forced me to work more on the muscles in my legs, and that made me faster.”

While Williams’ endurance was lagging, FPC head coach Dave Halliday and distance coach Virgil Williams saw her potential in the 800.

“We knew she could do the 800.

She ran in the 4x800,” Virgil Williams said. “We just started working on her speed. She showed early it was going to come.”

In her first 800 race of the season on April 8, she ran a personalrecord 2:23.89. At district, she failed to qualify for region in the 1,600, but she finished third in the 800 to keep her season alive.

Mainland’s Nate Davis has qualified for three events at the state track and field championships, while Seabreeze’s Ella Chandler is projected to medal in two events at state.

Davis is the No. 2 seed in the 100-meter dash. He will also run in the 200 and the 4x400 relay at the Class 3A championships May 13 at the University of Florida’s Percy Beard Track.

Chandler, who finished third at state last year in the 800-meter run, is the fourth seed in Gainesville after winning the Region 2-3A title May 6 at Orlando East River High School with a time of 2:15.68.

Chandler also ran lead leg on the 4x800 relay team that placed second at region with a time of 9:40.56.

The relay, which also includes Nick-

ole Dane and twin sisters Ariana and Mackenzie Roy is seeded sixth at state.

Davis transferred from Atlantic High School after football season.

Davis has the 11th seed in the 200.

He finished ninth in the 200 for Atlantic last year in the 2A championships.

Matanzas milestone: Pirates reach district final for the first time New Smyrna Beach quieted the Matanzas Pirates’ bats with an 11-1 district championship victory.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

After scoring a total of 23 runs in their first two district tournament games,

the Matanzas Pirates were stymied in the District 9-5A final.

New Smyrna Beach pitcher Nick Delucia did not allow an earned run as the Barracudas defeated the Pirates 11-1 on May 5 at St. Johns River State College in Palatka to advance to the regional playoffs.

Matanzas was playing in a district championship game for the first time in school history.

“Obviously, the end result is not what you want, but our players have

to be proud of the fact that they accomplished something no other team in Matanzas history had ever done,” Pirates coach Jim Perry said.

Delucia allowed six hits and two walks in the game, which was shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. Bailey Russell and Michael Martinez each had two hits for Matanzas.

“We hit a lot of balls hard. We just hit them at people,” Perry said.

Matanzas trailed 3-1 going into the bottom of the third inning, but NSB

“Obviously, the end result is not what you want, but our players have to be proud of the fact that they accomplished something no other team in Matanzas history had ever done.”

Five Matanzas seniors — Russell, Martinez, Jacob Cope, Jack Rainey and George Johnson — played their final high school game. They took turns going around a circle, hugging all their teammates and coaches after the district final.

Russell play every position except catcher during his high school career, Perry said. Rainey was a three-year starter at shortstop and center field.

Martinez was a three-year starter at first base.

The Pirates will be young next year, but they should be solid up the middle with catcher Braden Russell, shortstop Gabe Breckenridge and second baseman Brady Novack returning and Alex Ortiz likely moving from right field to center.

Josh Cope was the second of three pitchers for the Pirates against New Smyrna Beach.

scored five runs in the bottom of the third and added two in the fourth before ending the game with a oneout run in the fifth.

The ’Cudas (8-15) tallied 11 hits and three walks and stole five bases against the Pirates.

“They scored 17 against Vanguard (in the district semifinals) and 11 against us,” Perry said. “They’re obviously swinging the bats better than they have the entire season.”

The Pirates finished the season with an 11-12 record. They were coming off a 10-9 district semifinal win against Belleview on May 3. They led 10-2 in the middle of the fourth, but Belleview scored six runs in the bottom of the inning and scored again in the seventh on a hit-by-pitch and three infield hits.

Ben Apfelbach got out of a oneout, bases-loaded jam with a fly to right field that wasn’t deep enough to score the tying run, and a pop-up to shortstop. Belleview and Matanzas combined for 19 walks, but Perry said the pitchers on both teams were not wild.

Bailey Russell pitched three innings.

Spring football: ‘Put up or shut up’ time for Matanzas Pirates Matanzas will have more depth and experience in the fall season.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Matanzas’ football team won’t have a lot of seniors playing major roles this fall, but that doesn’t mean the Pirates will be young.

“We’re young no more,” said coach Matt Forrest, who is entering his third year with the Pirates. “This is a year to put up or shut up. The juniors are now upperclassmen.”

Four juniors are entering their third season as starters. Cole Hash, Sho’Marion Gaines and Jordan Mills are stalwarts on defense, while Dakwon Evans will be entering his second season as the starting quarterback.

Hash, Gaines and Mills will also play on offense, but this season they won’t be on the field all game.

“I think we’re going to have more depth than we’ve ever had,” Forrest said. “We got guys in key positions who can give us 20 to 30 plays in a backup role. That’s something we’ve never had here, and I’m excited to see that.”

Forrest said his junior defensive stars will have packages on offense, but they won’t be on the field for 70 plays on offense and 70 plays on

“I can see the difference when I’m trying to shed a block or having to take a guard head up. It’s a lot different than last year. It comes with a lot of confidence. I think the whole team is confident.”

defense.

“They’re three dynamic players on defense,” Forrest said. “Realistically, they’ll see 20 to 30 plays on offense, and that’s because we have a lot of guys who can fill in those key depth positions.”

Gaines, a safety, wouldn’t mind playing 70 plays on offense and defense.

“I plan on getting a lot of rotation on offense,” he said. “I’ll play wherever I have to, to help the team win.”

Mills, a cornerback, said the defense is balanced with ballhawks in the secondary and tough guys in the trenches.

Hash, a linebacker and part-time receiver, is coming off a third-place finish at the Class 2A state weightlifting championships in the 183-pound class. He said the strength he gained during weightlifting season has been

noticeable during spring football spring drills.

“I can see the difference when I’m trying to shed a block or having to take a guard head up,” Hash said. “It’s a lot different than last year. It comes with a lot of confidence. I think the whole team is confident. We know what we can do and what we can accomplish.”

Having experienced players who are starting their third year in Forrest’s system has made all the difference, the coach said.

“We haven’t had to coach our culture this spring, because our culture is established,” he said. “Guys are giving everything they got. They’re on time, they’re paying attention, they’re listening. We have guys sprinting from drill to drill. We haven’t had to teach kids to tuck their shirts in, wear the right gear, keep

WOOD’S HOT BAT Matanzas defeated North Marion 7-2 to win the District 4-4A softball championship May 4. The Pirates hosted Jacksonville Paxon on May 11 in a regional quarterfinal.

Emma Wood went 2 for 3 with a double, a triple, three runs scored and two RBIs in the district final to raise her batting average to a sizzling .642. She also pitched the final four innings for the Pirates. Freshman Leah Stevens started the game and struck out nine in three shutout innings.

Flagler Palm Coast lost to Ocala West Port 4-1 in the District 2-7A title game. The Bulldogs, who finished the season with a 10-10 record, defeated Sanford Seminole 8-7 in the district semifinals.

Mainland lost in the District 5-4A semifinals, 3-2 to Pine Ridge.

BASEBALL EXITS After rallying for seven runs in the seventh to defeat Jacksonville Mandarin 7-5 in a District 1-7A baseball quarterfinal, FPC fell to Bartram Trail 5-0 in the semifinals on May 3 to end its season.

Seabreeze fell to Orlando Bishop Moore 3-1 in the District 9-4A semifinals May 3.

Calidonio nets spot in elite summer league It didn’t take long for Flagler Palm Coast High School girls soccer coach Pete Hald and assistant Cat Bradley to see that Gabby Calidonio was a natural goalkeeper.

It took a little longer for Calidonio to see it.

“It was hard for me to give up playing in the field, but I realized I could help the team more in the net,” said Calidonio, who is coming off an outstanding freshman season at Division II Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire.

Calidonio started 14 games for the Ravens last fall. She saved 67 shots, allowed just 10 goals and recorded four shutouts. She was named to the Northeast-10 Conference’s weekly honor roll six times.

This summer, she will play in the inaugural season of the USL W league for Florida Elite Soccer Academy in Jacksonville. The USL W is a pre-professional women’s league for college players who are identified as future professional prospects.

The season will run from May 21 to July 1 with Florida Elite playing its home games at Jacksonville Mandarin and Creekside high schools.

Calidonio played on Florida Elite Soccer Academy’s Elite Clubs National League team in high school.

“They said I’d be a great asset to their team,” she said. “This is a really good opportunity for college athletes who want to play beyond college and play against some really good players.”

She is one of three goalkeepers on Florida Elite’s roster. The team’s first practice was May 10, but because of her final exam schedule, she was scheduled to arrive in Florida on May 12.

“I get back to Florida, and I have to drive right to practice,” she said.

Calidonio was a defender before she was asked to play goalkeeper on FPC’s JV team when she was a freshman.

“We needed a goalkeeper on JV,” Bradley said. “Gabby was naturally athletic. She had the gift of height.

She was a great defender, but when she was in goal, she was really good.

Coach Hald and I pestered her a little bit. That first year, there were so

COOKSEY OVERCOMES HURDLES Ormond Beach resident Paige Cooksey was recovering from ACL surgery this past summer. Now, she is ranked 16th in the nation among NCAA Division III track and field athletes in the women’s 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:03.28.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology sophomore is in her first year as a college athlete after last season was canceled due to COVID. She would have missed the outdoor season anyway after her January 2021 surgery.

“She’s obviously fully recovered,” said MIT first-year track and field director J.J. Hunter.

“She’s done an amazing job coming back from that.”

Cooksey, who graduated from Spruce Creek High School, has won just about every week, including the April 30 New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference championship.

The mechanical engineering major was also named to the NEWMAC All-Conference Academic Team.

“She has an incredibly high ceiling with a ton of potential,” Hunter said. “She’s a great athlete. Over the next two years we will improve her hurdle mechanics, and she’ll get even better.”

many times she would say, ‘Coach Cat, can I go in the field?’ It’s crazy how it worked out.”

After her freshman season, Hald told her, “You’re going to be (the varsity) goalie next season.”

At that point, she decided she’d

better really learn the position.

“I never was trained as a goalkeeper,” she said. “So, I decided to try out for Florida Elite’s ECNL team. I realized that goalkeeper could take me to the farthest level possible.”

Calidonio was a three-year starter in goal for the Bulldogs.

“She kept us in so many games,” Bradley said. “She was good in the air and didn’t mind going to the ground.

She was a leader too. She was a great teammate.”

Calidonio said her experience as a defender helps her communicate better with the players on the field.

“I can relate to the girls,” she said.

“I was in their position. I know how hard it is to get back.”

Bradley said the USL W is lucky to have her.

“I’m super proud of her,” Bradley said. “It’s exciting to see all the hard work pay off. When you’re a college athlete, that schedule is brutal.

Gabby did so well in her freshman season, and she kept her grades up.”
