Plantation Oaks, located between U.S. 1 and Old Dixie Highway, is seeking more single-family lots.

The developer of Plantation Oaks has requested a new major amendment for the project, received by city staff last week, according to an email by city Planning Director Steven Spraker. The amendment consists of the deletion of a middle school site as well as the 18-hole public golf course, which would have also housed a restaurant and a shop. The amendment application details that the developer, Parker Mynchenberg, seeks

to add 80 single-family lots to the first phase of the project. In the third phase of the project, Mynchenberg seeks for the age restriction be removed as well as the addition of 86 single-family lots. The fourth phase of the project would require a rezoning of the 53.41-acre school site to house 125 single-family lots. In January, the Ormond Beach City Commission unanimously approved three amendments to the Plantation

Oaks development order, which allowed the first phase of the project to consist of single-family homes, and, not have an age-restriction for residents. The new amendments will need to be reviewed by the city’s Site Plan Review Committee, and Mynchenberg will need to hold a neighborhood meeting before the item is reviewed by the Planning Board and commission. The dates for these meetings are not yet set.

Ormond resident Barry Tishler starts foundation for addiction education JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

rmond Beach resident Barry Tishler knows firsthand that substance abuse recovery is not always a linear journey. But, fighting back against the stigma surrounding the illness? That’s equally challenging. It’s why he created his nonprofit, the Addiction Education Foundation, whose mission is to provide public and private organizations with information, education, training, workshops, resources and solutions regarding substance abuse, addiction and recovery, according to its website. AEF is, Tishler said, the accumulation of his own life story. “It’s really bringing all my life experiences — personal, professional, recovery, everything, educational — all together,” Tishler said. He’s not trying to reinvent substance abuse treatment; instead, he wants to reach out to the community to help break down the barriers created by the stigma of substance abuse, be that through educating prospective employers about why they should hire people recovering from substance abuse, or by providing parents whose children are dealing with addiction with resources and support groups. “What people don’t realize is that there’s the other side of addiction, the recovery side — that people’s lives are transformed,” he said.

TISHLER’S STORY

Tishler grew up in an affluent home. His adoptive father was a doctor, and materially, Tishler’s needs were cared for. But, emotionally, he always felt different. “I can’t necessarily put my finger on what it was, but I just didn’t feel like I belonged, or that I was a part of, or that I was validated, or that I was treated the same,” Tishler said. “I just didn’t feel right.” It’s a feeling that eventually led him to alcoholism, and by the time he was 16 years old, he had dropped out of high school due to his addiction. He had driving under the influence charges on his record before he was 21, and had gone through rehabilitation programs as a result. Alcohol and drugs, mainly cocaine, became his medicine for the next two decades, he explained. They were the things that gave him the confidence and inner contentment to keep living, and he would go through waves of recovery and relapse. In the late 1990s, he went back to school and graduated with his bachelor’s degree in psychology, and went on to work in the field of addiction. He later left that job and became an entrepreneur, but later losing his business caused him to relapse for the next 10 years. But there came a turning point where Tishler accepted “his truth and his illness,” he said, and that came when he had a “complete collapse of the ego.” “When you recover, you recover mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, but the spiritual

“It’s really bringing all my life experiences — personal, professional, recovery, everything, educational — all together.”

On Aug. 26, Barry Tishler, executive director of the Addiction Education Foundation, presented a talk on how to have a recovery-friendly workplace at the News Journal Center for the Performing Arts as part of Elevate Daytona.

“What people don’t realize is that there’s the other side of addiction, the recovery side, that people’s lives are transformed.”

BY THE NUMBERS:  Nearly 841,000 people have died from a drug overdose since 1999.  Over 70% of the drug overdose deaths in 2019 involved an opioid, mainly synthetic opioids, which account for 72.9% of opioid-involved overdose deaths.  From January 2020 to February 2021, 2,022 people died from a drug overdose in the state of Florida.  No state experienced a significant decrease in overdose deaths from 2018-2019.

part comes first,” Tishler said. “Today, I live my life based on spiritual principles that guide me toward everything else in my life.” He was a single parent at the time, raising two girls, and he knew that he needed to do more to financially sustain them. So, he went back to school. He later graduated from Nova Southeastern University with a master’s in business administration and a doctorate in education, all the while he worked full-time in the retail industry. “People are capable of doing a lot of really, really great things when they get sober,” Tishler said. “They’re not bad people. Unfortunately, they have this stigma they can’t get out of. It’s like trying to get out of a depression, trying to say you should just fix yourself. It’s just not that easy, so people need help. I want to be part of that process.”

ADDICTION DOESN’T DISCRIMINATE

Everyone suffering with substance abuse has a different story, but through his foundation, Tishler hopes his story gives hope. “Nobody ever asks to be a drug addict or an alcoholic,” he said. “It was declared a disease a long time ago by the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association, and it’s just viewed upon, unfortunately, in a very bad light.” Society doesn’t typically consider substance abuse an illness, and Tishler said it’s likely because of the ripple effects substance abuse has in the mental health and judicial systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has also worsened the issue, as services are not as available as they used to be, while the need for those same services has increased. The Centers for Disease Control reports that over 93,000 people died from drug overdose in 2020 in the United States, a 30% increase from 2019. Early data for the months of January and February 2021 show the country is on pace for another record-setting year. Florida has seen a 32.6% percent increase in overdose deaths in the past year as well. “Addiction, awareness and prevention needs support — just as much support as anything else because overdose and addiction does not discriminate against anyone,” Tishler said. “It could be anybody’s child, and it could be anybody’s friend, and it’s devastating, but there is a solution.” Visit addictionedufoundation. org.

BRIEFS Ormond woman murdered, deputies arrest boyfriend Volusia Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested a 61-year-old man on first-degree murder charges for the killing of a 62-year-old Ormond Beach woman, who was found dead in her home in the The Lakes of Pine Run community around 3:20 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 22. On Sunday, Sept. 26, VSO reported that the deputies’ investigation into the suspicious death of Elizabeth Crisanti, who exhibited “sharp force injuries” when she was found in her bedroom, revealed evidence that

she was fearful of her boyfriend, Nelson Rivera, who was found lying unresponsive beside her in the bed. VSO initially reported he appeared to have overdosed on prescribed medication. Once he regained consciousness, he was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail, where he is being held without bond. At the scene of the murder, detectives found signs of a struggle, but no sign of forced entry into the home. Deputies had responded to the home on Wednesday, Sept. 22 after they were called by a relative to perform a well-being check after Crisanti failed to pick up her grandchildren from school.

Included in the operating millage rate is a new public safety vehicle and equipment replacement fund for 0.1580 mills, which will fund the replacement of six new patrol cars, two specialty units and one motorcycle, as well as two commercial dryers for the Ormond Beach Fire Department and communication headsets for two fire trucks.

CITY BANS BIKE WEEK, BIKETOBERFEST WASHES The City Commission voted 4-1 on a second reading of an ordinance amendment to prohibit all car and motorcycle washes in Ormond Beach during recognized special events at its meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 22. Commissioner Rob Littleton voted no. Two residents, one of whom is a business owner, spoke against the city passing this amendment, pointing out that the washes raise money for nonprofits. The commissioners voted on the amendment without further discussion. At the first reading of the amendment, voted on by the commission on Sept. 8, Commissioner Troy Kent said the residents he had spoken with don’t want to see these types of washes in the city.

budget. While the total millage rate of 4.0308 mills remains the same as last year’s (when the city adopted the rollback rate for its operating millage), the message states that ad valorem property tax revenues will increase due to the city’s 5.53% increase in property values. “While the economic outlook remains strong, we continue to adhere to our conservative approach to the budget by managing costs without compromising the services that add value and serve our residents and businesses,” wrote Shanahan in the budget message. At the meeting, Mayor Bill Partington said the commission and city went through a smooth budget process, as he only heard from two people in the community who were unhappy with the proposed budget and millage rate. He also said he spoke to a new resident who relocated from Daytona Beach to a more expensive home in Ormond Beach, and is now paying less in property taxes. “When you look at the millage rates and see where we are compared to other cities, you realize the value that you’re getting for your dollar and our staff strives really hard to make that happen, and we as a commission push them to do that,” Partington said. The city is also using $4.9 million of American Rescue Plan Act dollars to fund infrastructure repair and replacement projects for the city’s water and sewer system. In addition, the commission approved a 3.5% water and wastewater utility rate increase in a 3-2 vote. Selby and Commissioner Rob Littleton voted against. Both favored using ARPA dollars for “generational” water quality projects.

What Christina would have wanted Ormond Beach resident loses her sister to COVID-19, starts GoFundMe campaign to help raise her niece and nephew. ASSOCIATE EDITOR

This time last year, Marissa Smith did not personally know anyone who had died from COVID-19. She cannot say the same today. On the morning of July 8, Smith’s 43-year-old sister Christina Tocco, of Ormond Beach, died at AdventHealth Daytona Beach, leaving behind her 15-year-old special needs daughter and 11-year-old son. For her family, everything happened very quickly — so much so that none of them had the chance to say goodbye. Since the start of the pandemic, 53,580 people have died in the state of Florida due to COVID-19. Of that number, 1,369 have been Volusia County residents, according to data by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “COVID is serious, and it’s not just a numbers game,” Smith said. “It’s something that actually affects and impacts real families in really devastating ways, and that’s something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.” REMEMBERING CHRISTINA

Smith’s family was small, but close-knit, growing up. It was just Smith, Tocco, their older sister Laurie, and their father, who died in 2016. Each sister, of course, has her own distinct personality, but Tocco was the loudest, Smith recalled fondly. They are halfItalian, she said, but Tocco was

probably “200% Italian.” “She had a very big personality,” Smith said. “Even strangers didn’t feel like strangers when they were around her because she was so open and welcoming.” A server at DB Pickles for 15 years, Tocco was a staple in the restaurant, according to Smith. She was so charismatic that people often requested to be served by her. For most of her life, Tocco was a single mom. But, that never stopped her from giving her children the best life she could. On a server’s salary, she made sure their birthday parties were exactly what they wanted, that they had the shoes they wanted to start school, and as a family, made time for vacations. In 2015, Tocco met the man who would become her fiancé, and they became a blended family for the next five years before he asked her to marry him. The couple was supposed to wed in 2020, but their wedding was postponed because of the pandemic. When Tocco was admitted to the hospital, Smith and her family were on vacation halfway across the country in Arizona. They were due to return to their home in Ormond Beach on July 7, and that morning, Smith woke up to a text from her sister’s fiancé informing her Tocco had been admitted to the hospital and had been placed on a ventilator. A week prior, Tocco’s daughter had told Smith that her mom had tested positive for COVID-19, but

came over me that I’ve never had in my life, and the feeling was that it’s not OK, and it’s not going to be OK.” WATCHING OUT FOR THE KIDS

at the time, Smith hadn’t been too concerned. After all, her sister was healthy. But that changed when she read the text that morning. “I had this sense of dread,” Smith said. “I had this feeling that

Smith and her family made it home four hours before Tocco died. A woman of faith, she believes this was God’s first indication that he was there to support her family in their moment of grief. Her sister died at a time when Smith was in town, and could take charge of the

situation. And her main worry? Making sure her sister’s children, Sofia and Sebastian, Smith’s niece and nephew, continue living their lives the way her sister had planned. Tocco started a GoFundMe page on July 13 to fundraise for the future needs of Tocco’s children. Within the first minute, she had received her first $100 donation. The page has since raised almost $24,000. Smith said she is grateful for each and every one of them. She invited all who donated to attend her sister’s Celebration of Life, held at Tomoka Christian Church on July 24. The success of the fundraiser shows how many people loved her, Smith said. “That shows how many people she touched, and it makes me feel more secure, because at the end of the day, no matter what, these kids are going to be taken care of by my husband and I,” Smith said. The dollars raised will go toward addressing the needs of Sofia and Sebastian, who remain at home with their mother’s fiancé, the only father figure either have ever known. “It is to make sure that their lives go on exactly the way my sister would have insisted,” said Smith, her voice laden with tears. “Period. And if I can do anything to honor her and her legacy, I think that’s the best thing I can do.” Want to help? Visit https:// gofund.me/393ec93d

Leverage over Avalon Park Dear Editor, Many people may not realize this, but the city of Ormond Beach was granted the right to sell wholesale water and sewer services to the upcoming residential project Avalon Park. Although the development lies within Daytona Beach’s boundaries, it would stand to reason that, as the utility provider, Ormond would have some leverage over this megadevelopment. Indeed, Mayor Partington and Commissioner Kent acknowledged on separate local radio programs that such an arrangement gives Ormond some control. As a citizen, I would hope Ormond would exercise such control to negotiate down the proposed massive 10,000 home density. Nearly everyone I talk with shudders at the thought of the additional traffic that will pour onto Granada Boulevard, our sole east-west traffic artery. There’s also the concern of the additional stress on our water and sewer systems, including water coming out of the aquifer. Lastly, the commission is

considering a tax hike and a water and sewer rate increase. Perhaps one source of additional revenue could be reflected in the utility rates charged for Avalon Park. I would hope that such rates are sufficient to cover the above-mentioned burdens and potential hidden costs. MINDY McLARNAN Ormond Beach

How the airport brings value Dear Editor: I would like to commend Mr. Blankenship for his in-depth research in his Sept. 16 letter regarding the Ormond Beach municipal airport. I would like to clarify several points regarding the runway extension. First, there will be no commercial airlines using the runway. The current runway surface and the extension are not designed to handle the weight of commercial airliners. There will also be no heavy shipping or receiving of manufacturing goods or supplies. The additional corporate traffic will be to send technical and sales support to customer sites and potential clients.

GALLERY’S FEATURED ARTIST FOR OCTOBER

Local artist Ed Siarkowicz will celebrate an opening reception for his exhibition inside Ocean Art Gallery, located at 197 E. Granada Blvd., during the monthly art walk event on Saturday, Oct. 2. Siarkowicz will release 17 images to the public at the event after over four years of careful study, according to a press release by the gallery. He is the featured artist for the month of October, and his photos capture journeys into local wilds with artist Pierre Matisse. His “Impressionistic Water Reflections” opening reception, will take place from 5-8 p.m.

There will also be potential clients coming here to work with businesses. To keep it in perspective, there are less than a dozen corporate airplanes based at Ormond Beach. They normally leave in the morning and return late in the afternoon. His contention that the airport doesn’t operate profitably is also patently wrong. One of the issues not discussed often enough is the economic impact that our airport has on our community. Several of the businesses in the industrial park located here specifically because of the airport. Our company looked at available land in several communities before choosing Ormond Beach in 1986. We started with seven employees and now have 160 with a payroll of over $7 million. Our workers range from accountants and engineers to direct factory workers. There are many high-paying technical jobs that are 40 hours a week with benefits. The companies located on the airport also employ over 400 people. The business revenue from these activities is over $56 million. If you add the total employment of the adjacent business park, the

airport area is one of the largest revenue and jobs producers in the city of Ormond Beach. This runway extension will create more jobs and lessen the noise pattern for those people that live east of the airport also. The success of Ormond Crossings commercial park is greatly enhanced by its location adjacent to the airport. The new headquarters for Security First Insurance company is adjacent to the airport, and their executives use corporate airplanes to travel efficiently to clients. They employ over 300 people in their beautiful new headquarters. This project started due to the need to modernize the airport and bring in more high paying companies. That is working, and now we have a chance to see more high paying career jobs to keep our well-educated children here in Ormond Beach. DAVID SLICK SR. CEO, Command Medical Products Inc.

BAD WIRING 10:45 a.m. — 500 block of Riverside Drive Burglary. Police charged a 55-year-old Daytona Beach man with three felonies after he was caught cutting and stealing circuit breakers and wiring from a residence.

The homeowner called police after he discovered the man cutting wires from his main electrical panel. The homeowner asked him to stop and inquired as to why he was cutting the wires, to which the man replied that he thought the wiring was “junk,” according to the police report. Once the homeowner informed him he would be calling 911, he said the man became nervous and offered him money to let him go. The homeowner estimated the wiring damage caused by the man totaled about $2,500, in addition to the $1,000 worth of circuit breakers and wiring that were stolen. Police issued a “Be On the Lookout” alert for the man.

SEPT. 17

BEWARE OF THIS SCAM 8:08 a.m. — 100 block of Deer Lake Circle Fraud. An 82-year-old Ormond Beach woman was scammed out of $30,000 after she received a call from a “hysterically-sobbing female’ who claimed to be her daughter, and that she had been arrested for driving under the influence, and causing the death of an unborn baby, as she had allegedly been involved in a car crash and the other driver had been pregnant.

The woman on the phone then passed the phone on to a man who claimed to be a public defender and instructed the Ormond woman to send the $12,000 attorney fee through two bank routing numbers. The next day, the woman received another call from the “public defender,” who this time requested $18,000. Again, the woman did as he asked. Once she realized she had been scammed, she notified police of the crime and advised she wanted to pursue charges.

Teacher, support staff vacancies are impacting Volusia County Schools The district currently has 77 classroom vacancies and 129 support staff vacancies.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Teacher and support staff continue to pose a concern for Volusia County Schools, with principals pivoting non-classroom instructional employees back into the classroom and the district working to retain employees in a year where resignations and leaves of absence are up by 35% as compared to 2020. At the Volusia County School Board meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 28, VCS Superintendent Scott Fritz told the board that the issue with vacancies in schools didn’t start in 2020, and that Volusia is not alone in its struggle. “This is one that’s plaguing our profession, not just even the state of Florida,” Fritz said. “It’s difficult to get people to go into this profession in all areas, and it’s becoming more and more difficult.” The district currently has 77 classroom vacancies and 129 support staff vacancies, about 100 of which are paraprofessionals, said Mark West, chief human resources officer for VCS. VCS also has about 5,900 more students enrolled this year, as compared to last year. “Our principals are working hard, and they are doing what they need to try and get those vacancies filled,” West said. Classroom vacancies decreased by 21 as non-classroom instructional vacancies increased by 10, a result of principals moving

certified teaching staff such as academic coaches back to classrooms. This is occurring as the district is working to hire more teachers, and compared to 2020, VCS has done as such — to date, the district has hired 475 teachers; by this time in 2020, it had hired 355. However, resignations and leaves of absence are up by 90 positions, with 341 compared to last year’s number of 251. West said the district is looking at substitutes, as well as trying to get teachers and support staff to stay by working to offer incentives for bus attendants and bus drivers such as signing bonuses. The district is working on a similar offer for paraprofessionals with Volusia United Educators, the labor union representing educators and support staff for VCS. VUE President Elizabeth Albert addressed the issue of vacancies during the public participation portion of the meeting, saying the district should look to take care and retain its employees by addressing the wage disparity between VCS and other districts in central Florida. The district’s starting salary is $44,335. “It’s time the board and the district begin to recognize the sacrifices and dedications of our current employees,” Albert said. “I am not a fan of using tricks and gimmicks, like hiring bonuses, for potential employees while our current employees continue to suffer and fall further behind.”

State revamps COVID-19 rule for schools JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Pointing to a need to “minimize the amount of time students are removed from in-person learning,” the Florida Department of Health on Sept 22, issued a revised rule that gives parents more authority to decide whether children go to school after being exposed to people who have COVID-19. The emergency rule also continues to require that parents be able to opt students out of school-mask requirements but includes a change that takes aim at some school districts that only

allow opt-outs for documented medical reasons. That change says opting out of mask requirements is “at the parent or legal guardian’s sole discretion.” Another substantial change in the revised rule deals with protocols for students who have been exposed to COVID-19. It gives parents the option of allowing the “student to attend school, school-sponsored activities, or be on school property, without restrictions or disparate treatment, so long as the student remains asymptomatic.” Parents also would have the option of quarantining their students for up to seven days.

Noah’s superpower

here words fail, music speaks. The quote by Hans Christian Andersen rings true for 12-year-old Noah Arazashvili, of Daytona Beach, who performed his first 40-minute piano concert inside The Casements during the third-annual Ormond Beach Live Original Music and Art Festival on Saturday, Sept. 25. Noah began his performance with a 15-minute set on the side main stage at Rockefeller Gardens, and for his mother, Rachel Arazashvili, it marked a proud moment for not just Noah, but the autism community as a whole. “We’re raising him up to recognize his strengths and not focus on his weaknesses, and, as an

advocate for autism, that’s what I encourage parents to do,” said Arazashvili, who is the executive director of Kidds are First, an Ormond Beach-based nonprofit. Noah, who goes by Noah A-Z on stage, began playing piano when he was 3 years old, shortly after being diagnosed with autism. Though his speech was delayed, he found a way to communicate with his parents through the preprogrammed songs on his keyboard. Eventually, he learned to play the songs himself by memorizing the sequence of the keys that lit up as the songs played. His mother said it was his superpower. “He’d get on the keyboard and it was just like this light went on,” Arazashvili said. “It was his world and his element, and he would just play these songs.”

At age 7, Noah fired his piano teacher, not because he didn’t like him, but because he was already composing songs on his own. His parents found 10 original songs on his iPad, all of which Noah had composed using the GarageBand application. Those 10 songs would become Noah’s first album, released in 2016 and titled, “Rhythm Unspoken.” Arazashvili said she was blown away when she saw him perform at Ormond Beach Live. The only thing on his piano stand was a script to remind him what to say to the audience. All the songs he performed, including an original, were done so by memory. Noah said he simply loves to learn new music on the piano. “I feel like it touches my soul,” Noah said.

Seabreeze looks to end Mainland’s dominance in rivalry football game

Ready, aim, roll

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Seabreeze girls and Mainland boys bowling teams continue to dominate in high school competition MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

resh from a weekend tournament win at the Kegel High School Challenge where they placed third overall, the Lady Sandcrabs continued their streak against the Lady Buccaneers at Ormond Lanes on Monday, Sept. 27, finishing with an 8-1 overall record. Kara Beissel led Seabreeze with a solid 227 first score, giving her and the team the high scratch games of the match. The Sandcrabs included a 199 for their second Baker game and three bowlers with additional high scratch games: Madison Kuenning-179, Madelyn Sniffen-175, and Stacey Spaulding-174. Buccaneer Catie Todd scored the Mainland girl’s top game with a 170. Mainland boys dominated the match against Seabreeze and placed first overall, edging out DeLand High School by 28 points. After losing their first Baker game to the ’Crabs, the Bucs rallied to win the remaining two games. This is Mainland High School coach Adam Rosenberg’s second season coaching the team. In his first year, he took his team to the State Championships, where After a successful frame, Gene Smith yells the call of the Buccaneer.

they placed second. He has a lot of return bowlers and with a current 8-1 overall record, he knows they are definitely competitive. “It was a little stressful in the middle there,” Rosenberg said. “I got them to

calm down to be more consistent and try not to do too much. I trust all of them as bowlers so once they got comfortable and started to figure it out, I knew they had it.” Two-handed bowlers Walther Lents and Coltan Hagan shined with Mainland’s top scratch series of 395 and 385, respectively. “We figured it out the second game,” Lents said. “We didn’t lose hope. We stayed consistent like a train. That’s how we got the W.”

Buccaneer Coltan Hagan winds up with a two-handed delivery.

Can this year be a different story for Seabreeze in its football rivalry with Mainland? You can’t overstate the Bucs’ dominance in recent years: n Mainland has shut out the Sandcrabs in each of the past four years, averaging 38.75 points in those games. n The Bucs have won 10 in a row over Seabreeze and have held the Sandcrabs to under 10 points each time. n Mainland has scored 40 or more points five times in the past six games against the ’Crabs. In 2016, the Bucs won 70-7. Seabreeze and Mainland will meet at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, at Daytona Stadium. The Bucs, who are trying to stretch their playoff streak to 28 consecutive years, have not been dominant so far this season. For the first time since 2010, they have a 1-3 record. They are coming off a 27-13 loss to reigning Class 8A state champ Sanford Seminole. Seabreeze, meanwhile, continues to improve. The Sandcrabs are 2-3, but two of their losses went down to the wire, including a 20-14 loss to DeLand on Sept. 24. “We’re two teams basically trying to put it together right now. Both teams are struggling in the trenches right now,” said Seabreeze coach Pat Brown. Last year the Bucs won 24-0, but they did not take the lead until kicking a field goal on the final play of the first half. This will be Travis Roland’s first Mainland-Seabreeze game as the Bucs’ head coach, but he certainly isn’t a stranger to the rivalry, having played for the Bucs in 200003. Brown, in his third year as the Sandcrabs’ head coach, is a relative newcomer. But he was in town in 2010 as a senior transfer at Bethune-Cookman when Seabreeze last defeated Mainland. “We won’t have to give too many motivational speeches this week,” Brown said. “... This game is for bragging rights every year.”

‘Walk From Home’ to raise money and awareness 24/7 HELPLINE

The Alzheimer’s Association’s Oct. 2 virtual event will include a pre-recorded opening ceremony.

Alzheimer’s Association’s 24/7 Helpline: 800-272-3900. Dial 711 to connect to a TRS operator.  Through this free service, specialists and master’s-level clinicians offer confidential support and information to people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

For the second year in a row, the Flagler and St. Johns counties’ Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be a virtual “Walk From Home,” on Oct. 2. “We’ve been planning it now probably since the beginning of March,” said Melissa Wos, who is a co-chair of the local Alzheimer’s Association event. “We had no intention of it being a virtual walk until a few weeks ago. But the delta variant was spiking horrifically in Flagler County.” To participate in the Walk from Home or for more information, go to https://bit.ly/3F1bJHc. After last year’s virtual walk, the local volunteers wanted to return to the in-person event with participants gathering at the amphitheater at Daytona State College Flagler/Palm Coast campus. “Normally people would go on stage and carry flowers,” Wos said. “Each color flower means something different. The event itself is really just camaraderie for folks dealing with Alzheimer’s. Either they have it themselves or they care for someone or they lost someone.”

Melissa Wos, top, and Carrie Meyer get ready to walk in their neighborhood with their dogs at last year's virtual Walk To End Alzheimer's.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 6 million Americans are living with Alzheim-

er’s disease. Additionally, more than 11 million family members are providing them with daily

care. In Florida, there are more than 580,000 people living with Alzheimer’s and 527,000 caregivers. The walk will kick off with a pre-recorded opening ceremony at 9 a.m. that will include a speech from Sheriff Rick Staly. Last year Wos walked with her wife, Carrie Meyer, and Wos’ mother, Joyce, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s eight and a half years ago. Joyce rode in a wheelchair. This year she is bedridden and in the last stages of the disease, Wos said. “People just think it’s a disease where you lose your memory. That’s not what it usually looks like. It starts that way, but it doesn’t end that way,” Wos said. Before Joyce was diagnosed, she started forgetting stories Wos had told her. She forgot the way to the grocery store. She had crying fits, and Wos couldn’t console her. Her brain was shutting down, Wos said. She forgot how to feed

herself, how to go to the bathroom by herself. “A very high-functioning adult is now being spoon-fed by my wife, being turned so she doesn’t get bedsores,” Wos said. “That’s what happens with Alzheimer’s that a lot of people don’t see. It’s a very, very difficult journey for most families. That is why we walk as caregivers get together to say, ‘Yes, I understand,’ because most people don’t understand.” The 2021 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Flagler and St. Johns counties had raised $31,397 as of Sept. 28 with a goal of $48,000. “The biggest thing we try to do is raise awareness,” Wos said. “Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the country and it has no cure and no treatment. People who are going to be caregivers need to know that they can get help.” Each walker will receive a Promise Garden flower to be “planted” in their front yards. Blue flowers are for people living with Alzheimer’s, purple for those who lost a friend or loved one to the disease, yellow for someone caring for someone with Alzheimer’s and orange for those who are supporting the cause. Normally, the flowers would be planted in the Promise Garden at DSC. The Alzheimer’s Association’s goal is to one day present someone a white flower. That will be the first survivor of Alzheimer’s, Wos said.

LINDA LEVIN, Chief Executive Officer

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Sometimes, a phone call can make a world of difference. Through ElderSource’s Caring Connections Telephone Reassurance Program, seniors who are homebound or living alone are able to receive a friendly phone call from a volunteer to liven up their spirits. With the aim to reduce feelings of isolation, loneliness, cognitive decline, depression and anxiety, the volunteers reach out to these seniors on a regular basis and chat about a variety of different topics — their family, the weather, what they’re watching on TV. That’s the approach volunteer Daniel Malone takes. He first got involved in the program about six months ago when his wife was looking for volunteer programs in the area. As Palm Coast snowbirds, they thought the flexibility offered by the program was well-suited for them. Plus, based on his own life experiences, Malone could relate to the clients. “I know what it’s like to be alone,” Malone said. “It’s a very painful place, and I’ve learned to do the opposite of that and share my experience, strength and hope and that feels really good.” THE POWER OF VOLUNTEERS

ElderSource, an area agency on aging and the aging and disability resource center for Northeast Florida based out of Jacksonville, launched Caring Connections at the end of 2020. Chief Executive Officer Linda Levin said that, even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, they had heard older adults express feelings of loneliness and feeling a disconnect with their families and community. The pandemic simply shed a spotlight on the issue, and Caring Connections is their effort to address that need. “The phone is an easy way to do that,” Levin said. “It’s lowtech, you don’t need a computer or smartphone even. It’s just a very informal, nonthreatening, friendly way to connect.” It makes the seniors feel like someone cares and is reaching out, she added. Some of their clients have even gone on to become volunteers of the programs themselves after seeing how it made a

Caring Connections volunteer Daniel Malone

positive impact in their lives. So far, ElderSource has 40 volunteers for its Caring Connections program, though Levin said many more are needed. Each volunteer typically only calls one client, with a maximum of three. The program has a waiting list, and with more volunteers, especially those who are bilingual, ElderSource can continue to help more people in this respect. Humans are social beings, Levin said. Caring Connections helps to fill the social gap isolated seniors experience. “It’s lifesaving really,” Levin said. “You don’t realize that, but isolation and loneliness could be deadly.” COMPANIONSHIP

Malone said it is a very rewarding experience to take part in the program. Decades ago, he was the one in need of companionship. Having grown up in a dysfunctional family, Malone said his life took a wrong direction over 40 years ago when he was suffering from alcoholism and got into a couple of car crashes. The first was a motorcycle crash that resulted in him being in a body cast for a year and a half; the second blinded him. For the next decade, Malone dealt with loneliness. Eventually, he was able to restructure his life, leading him to obtain his dream job of teaching both the visually impaired and sighted to learn how to use computers at the Center for the Visually Impaired. He doesn’t usually share his story, or the fact that he’s blind, with the clients unless he’s asked. Instead, he focuses on stories involving his dog, his children and his grandchildren — stories that will uplift. It’s a wonderful feeling to stay connected, Malone added. “In fact, I feel like it’s not fair because the more I share, the more I’m lifted up,” Malone said.
