Planning Board to meet on Thursday The Ormond Beach Planning Board will meet at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8, at the City Commission Chambers located at 22 S. Beach St. On the agenda is a development order for a proposed development,residentialTattersall at Tymber Creek; a zoning map amendment and development order for a commercial property at 520 and 540 Flagler Road; and two administrative requests.
A 19-acre parcel of land within the city of Ormond Beach will be pre served, thanks to a joint purchase agreement between the city, the St. Johns River Water Management Dis trict and Volusia County’s Volusia Forever program. On Tuesday, Sept. 6, the Volu sia County Council unanimously approved a participation agreement with the city and SJRWMD to buy the property, known as the Penland and Pomerenke property, which sits along the north side of the Tomoka River and abuts Ormond Beach’s Riverbend Nature Park, according to the county. In April, the property had been added to the secondary “Group B” acquisition list by the Volusia Forev er Advisory Committee, rather than the top priority list, because acqui sition funding partners had not been identified.Because the city and SJRWMD decided to come forward — with the city contributing $154,000 and SJRWMD contributing $462,000 of the $770,000 purchase price — the acquisition was moved to the “A-list” on June 22. The county, through the Volusia Forever Program, will con tribute a total of $161,000, as each party is also contributing 33.3% towards due diligence costs, the county reported in its agenda item. Mayor Bill Partington spoke before the council during the public partici pation portion of the meeting in the morning, saying it was “a special piece of property.” “It was slated to be warehouses, but conserving it for the future for our residents makes so much more sense,” Partington said. He added that the preservation of this land presents an opportunity to create a trail system for residents due to the land’s proximity to Riverbend Nature Park. City Manager Joyce Shanahan told the council that she was grateful that SJRWMD joined the city and county in purchasing the property. “The city is committed to sup porting these efforts by managing the property as part of the Riverbend Nature Park that we currently have, and we’re required to do a plan for that,” she SJRWMDsaid.will retain a conserva tion easement on the property while the county and the city will have joint ownership, according to the county.

FIGHTING THE PROBLEM Substance abuse treatment is one of the five focus areas that Flagler Cares identified in its most recent commu nity health needs assessment. The organization is using about onethird of Dr. Stephen Bickel’s initial $1 million donation to the organization for mental health treatment, includ ing a medication assisted treatment program for opioid users. Bickel, the medical director of the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, has announced a $1 million a year donation to Flagler Cares for the next 10 years. Bob Snyder, the administrator of the DOH in Flagler County, recently told the Observer that the depart ment will receive a $1.4 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address overdose deaths and addiction. “We’re working with community partners to put together a plan and get an addiction stabilization program initiated here in Flagler, because right now we really don’t have much to offer relative to addressing addic tion,” he said.
BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR The Flagler County Drug Court Foundation had expected 70 to 80 people to take part in its vigil commemorating Inter national Overdose Awareness Day on Aug. Participants31. were to meet at Wad sworth Park and then walk over the bridge to Veterans Park where resi dents would give their testimonials and tell their stories. But Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, so the vigil became a Zoom event. Overdose Awareness Day is mean ingful in both Flagler and Volusia counties, which are among the state leaders in per capita overdose deaths. In the most recent statistics released by the Florida Department of Health, Volusia County was sec ond in the state with 69.2 overdose deaths per 100,000 residents in 2020.Overdose deaths soared in Flagler County from 10.3 per 100,000 in 2018 to 51.8 in 2020. Non-fatal overdose emergency room visits in both counties have increased every year from 2015 to 2020.Last year, there were 407 overdose deaths in Volusia County, accord ing to the Volusia County DOH. In Flagler, there have been 16 overdose deaths this year through Aug. 26, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Flagler County sheriff deputies and firefighters have administered 180 doses of Narcan so far this year. Narcan, the brand name for nal oxone, saves lives by reversing the effects of opioid overdoses, quickly restoring normal breathing. “The first thing we have to do is save the life before we can get treat ment,” said Renee DeAngelis during the Flagler County Zoom event. DeAngelis’ daughter, Savannah, died of a fentanyl overdose five years ago. Narcan might have saved her life. Renee and her husband, Chip, have been working with the Flagler County Drug Court Foundation and the Flagler County Opioid Task Force since 2018, educating the commu nity about Narcan and the addiction problem.“Iwanted to help other families from being devastated the way we lost our daughter, because it’s just the worst thing that can ever happen to anybody, to lose a child,” she said. “I just believe we need to get to the root, get to the children and the par ents before it causes a bigger prob lem in their lives. We have to be able to talk about this and be comfortable talking about it.” Mike Feldbauer, who runs the Fla gler County Drug Court Foundation, talked about reducing the stigma, because addiction affects people from all demographics, young and old, he said. There is also a stigma surrounding Narcan, with some people wrongly believing it can encourage drug use or prevent users from seeking treatment. “We take it as our job to educate people on how to administer Narcan and removing the stigma about Nar can,” Renee DeAngelis said. DeAngelis and Feldbauer have a meeting scheduled with Flagler Schools’ Director of Student Ser vices Marquez Jackson on Sept. 9 to discuss providing Narcan to the schools’ nurses’ offices. A new state law relating to over dose prevention authorizes pub lic schools to purchase and store naloxone on campuses. Currently, the school resource deputies carry Narcan. DeAngelis said John Fanel li, Flagler Schools’ coordinator of behavior and conduct management, and Flagler County School Board member Cheryl Massaro have been instrumental in helping the Flagler County Drug Court Foundation set up the meeting. “We do have Narcan on campuses. The deputies have it,” Fanelli said. “But we want to make sure that if something were to occur, that we are prepared to address it. We have never had an incident like that, but we always want to make sure we have what we need to keep our students safe.”Fanelli stressed that he was not speaking for the district, which has not approved or finalized anything yet.Fanelli said the district is also in the process of drafting a request for proposal (RFP) with Flagler Cares about partnering on a substance abuse prevention program for the school“We’redistrict.hoping to have some viable options on the table by the end of September,” he said.
Charles Silano, pastor of Grace Tabernacle Ministries, chairman of Grace Community Food Pantry and founder of Open-Door Re-entry and Recovery Ministry, provided the opening prayer at the Zoom event. “I don’t have words to describe what this event should mean to all of us and what it means to me,” he said. “There’s a lot of great people, talent ed people, loving people, people who have families, that have been swept away in this battle. But they’re not forgotten, and we fight because of them.”
Flagler and Volusia are among the leading counties in per capita overdose deaths; organizations and residents are trying to change that.
DRUG COURT PROVIDES ALTERNATIVE

The Flagler County Drug Court was established in 2006 as an alterna tive to jail for non-violent drugrelated felonies. John Dioguardi is the coordinator. Offenders who are dependent on alcohol or drugs meet with a judge, state attorney, proba tion officer and treatment provider. If accepted, the offender agrees to undergo a 157-week program.
Confronting a CRISIS
“All things the court can’t do,” Feldbauer said.
SMA Healthcare offers substance abuse services in Volusia County. SMA Healthcare distributes Narcan, said Wendi Jackson, a spokesperson for the Volusia County DOH. The Volusia County Recovery Alliance also distributes Narcan in the coun ty, prioritizing distribution based on location data the health department provides.“Holly Hill Pharmacy also pro vides Narcan with every medical assisted treatment prescription,” Jackson said. “We’ve heard that’s about 60 prescriptions a month.”
RENEE DEANGELIS
“It works,” said Feldbauer. “We have a high non-recidivism rate. Our non re-arrest rate is in the high 70Thepercentile.”Flagler County Drug Court Foundation began in 2009 and helps take over after the three-year drug offender program ends. The foun dation helps with GEDs, job training, finding new jobs and auto repair.
“I just believe we need to get to the root, get to the children and the parents before it causes a bigger problem in their lives. We have to be able to talk about this and be comfortable talking about it.”

BUS DRIVER SHORTAGE
CONSTITUTION DAY The agenda workshop included a proclamation that was scheduled to be read at the Sept. 20 School Board meeting. But the proclamation, rec ognizing Sept. 17 at Constitution Day in Flagler Schools, would be out of date by the board meeting, so Tucker read the proclamation at the workshop.Theproclamation noted that “it is a privilege and duty of all Americans to commemorate the 235th anniver sary of the drafting of the Constitu tion of the United States of America with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”And,itadded, “Flagler Schools recognizes the importance of teach ing our students about the Constitu tion and Bill of Rights.”File photo School Board Chair Trevor Tucker does not want to rush into the guardian pro gram.
“I’d rather have our ducks in a row first. I’m not in favor of asking the sheriff to do something when we don’t know if we want to do it, or if we can afford it.”
The Flagler County School Board approved a total millage rate of 5.546 and a final budget of $290,277,701 for the 2022 to 2023 school year. The board adopted the mill age and budget at a final public hearing on Sept. 6. The district's required local effort millage rate is 3.298. Its discretionary rate is 0.748, and its capital outlay rate is 1.5, which is the same for all Florida school districts. Chief Financial Officer Patty Wormeck said that while prop erty tax revenue went up, the state auotmatically lowers the millage rate. "Our property tax revenues has an inverse relationship with our state funding," Wormeck said. "That's the easiest way to describe it, and that is a result of us not being able to set our own millage.

The district began the year with a full complement of bus drivers, but now it is short of drivers, according to the district’s latest personnel report. As a result, many buses have arrived late so far this school year. Six drivers and a trainee have resigned, while another has request ed leave. Four new drivers have been hired.Superintendent Cathy Mittel stadt said drivers are now receiving competitive salaries, but some are choosing other work, and right now the transportation department does not have a large pool of fill-in drivers. Dave Freeman, the district’s chief of operational services, said the dis trict will host a job fair at the end of the month with the primary focus on bus drivers.
The FCSO would need to submit a grant application by Sept. 15 for the district to move ahead with the program this school year.

The Flagler County school district won’t be participating in the state’s guardian program this year. District Safety Specialist Tom Wooleyhan reported to the School Board at a Sept. 6 workshop that the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office would need to apply by Sept. 15 for a $6.5 million grant to pay for guardian training and Wooleyhansupplies.saidthe Sheriff’s Office was notified of the deadline on Friday, Sept. 2, the last day before the Labor Day weekend. Wooleyhan, Sheriff Rick Staly and Commander Jason Neat presented information about the guardian pro gram to the board at the its informa tion workshop on Aug. 16. The board was to discuss at a future workshop how many guardians it would assign to support the school resource deputies on each campus. Other details that needed to be decided were whether the guardians would be new hires or current dis trict employees; whether they would carry their weapons openly or have them concealed; and whether they would wear a uniform or be in plain clothes.Wooleyhan said the Sheriff’s Office could submit an application by the Sept. 15 deadline to reserve a spot for the grant money, but the board would be free to turn down the grant if it decided not to participate in the program this year. School Board member Jill Wool bright proposed that the board ask the Sheriff’s Office to submit the application.“Itdoesn’t cost us anything to move forward,” she said. Board attorney Kristy Gavin said once the state has exhausted its grant money, applications won’t be accepted again until next school year. “If we submit, we have an oppor tunity,” she said. Board members Cheryl Massaro and Colleen Conklin preferred to wait until the 2023 to 2024 school year.“I don’t see how we can do it. We don’t have all the information,” Conklin said. Board Chair Trevor Tucker sided with Massaro and Conklin, saying it wouldn’t be fair to force the Sheriff’s Office to go through the application process if the district is not ready to make a decision for the current school year. “I’d rather have our ducks in a row first,” Tucker said. “I’m not in favor of asking the sheriff to do something when we don’t know if we want to do it, or if we can afford it.” With three board members decid ing to tell the sheriff not to submit an application, the board essentially chose to hold off on the program for at least a year. Board member Janet McDonald did not attend the work shop. Woolbright, a supporter of the guardian program, said the board missed out on an opportunity. “I asked that we workshop this months ago,” she said. “So it’s a shame that we ended up where we are.”

Cuthbert added that she had recently heard the board called a “firing squad” because of its firings of the past three superintendents, and it embarrassed her. “This has to stop,” Cuthbert said. “We have to be a model for our stu dents. We have to work things out.” Persis didn’t cite his reasons for giving Doran a score of 11, but said he respected each of the board mem bers’Colonopinions.saidhe found it concerning that the board had approved a threeyear contract with the attorney even though policy states that the School Board attorney’s contract should be on a yearly renewal. He also said he was concerned about communica tion and professionalism: Board members are entitled to the same information, he said, and the board expects the attorney to stand by its decisions.“Inour roles, we are often con fronted with opinions and person alities, and ensuring an even tone during public meetings is my expec tation, even for myself, even when somebody is sitting there saying things that are not necessarily true,” Colon said. He said he considered the evalu ation a “baseline assessment,” and added that Doran should have the opportunity to respond to board members’ concerns. After about 40 minutes of dis cussion, Doran spoke, saying he had worked under about 20 differ ent board members and that he had believed they all would have given him a perfect score on the evalua tion. “So we obviously have a prob lem, because 20 board members and superintendents used terms like, ‘You’re the biggest blessing that ever happened to me,’ and so I look forward to talking and meeting with each of you individually,” Doran said. “... There’s a number of things here that are based on misinformation. It needs to be said that not one of you has ever privately or publicly criti cized me before tonight, and not one of you called me and asked me any questions about any of the decisions that you were making.” Doran had been present when the evaluation was created. What he understood from the process, he said, was that none of the board members had a “good handle” on what his job has been for the last two decades, because many of the things they focused on in the evaluation were things he wasn’t previously required to do. “Every board member I’ve ever worked under would tell you that I did everything in my power to pro tect them both legally and politi cally,” Doran said. “And that’s true today. I don’t want to publicly air or respond in a public way to some of these things — I would rather explain them to you privately, and if you still feel there’s an issue, then we can come back and talk about it.” Doran’s evaluation and the cor responding School Board Policy 103 will be discussed in a future work shop. Colon encouraged Doran to set up meetings with each board mem ber — with a mediator, if necessary.
The Volusia County School Board evaluated its attorney on Tuesday, Aug. 30, and gave him a total score of 45 out of 95. School Board Chair Ruben Colon, who gave attorney Ted Doran an overall score of 9 out of 19, called the results“You“concerning.”shouldbegiven the oppor tunity to adjust them with each of us and see if we can make it better,” Colon said. “There’s a lot of work to be done. Forty-five out of 95 is not good, and I don’t think anybody in this room can say that’s good.” The School Board had decided on an evaluation tool for its attorney during a workshop on July 26. The evaluation on Aug. 30 marked the first time in 40 years that the School Board had evaluated its attor ney, though a policy in place since 1974 (last updated in 2003) states that the retention of the board attor ney should be reviewed at the first meeting in July every year. The only board member to give Doran all 19 points on his evaluation was Linda Cuthbert. School Board member Anita Burnette gave him a 4, Jamie Haynes gave him a 2 and Carl Persis gave him an 11. Burnette said that Doran didn’t treat all of the board members equal ly. She said she’d been “intimidated” by him on the phone, and that some of his communication to some of the board members had been “rough.” “I don’t feel like I can trust our attorney to have a professional con versation because of things that were said that I’ve trusted him to keep between us at a meeting,” Burnette said.Haynes said she had been threat ened by Doran and received a text message “trying to skew what was said and turn it into a different type of statement.” She said Doran also reached out to one of her family members in his attempts to speak with her, a move she thought was not appropriate, and that he sent an email to the board when he was not able to reach her. “So I have some issues with trust, professionalism and being threat ened,” Haynes said. “If I were a prin cipal, and a teacher threatened me, how would I take that? That’s kind of the situation we’re in.” Conversely, Cuthbert said she had never had a problem with Doran dur ing the eight years she has been on the board. She said she wondered if her fellow board members had raised their concerns with Doran in private to find a resolution, and said she was happy with Doran’s performance.
One board member gave him a score of 2 out of 19. “There’s a number of things here that are based on misinformation. It needs to be said that not one of you has ever privately or publicly criticized me before tonight, and not one of you called me and asked me any questions about any of the decisions that you were making.”

While patrolling a local plaza, a po lice officer spotted a 30-yearold Ormond Beach man in the rear parking lot. The man was looking around the parking lot with a flashlight. All the busi nesses were closed. The police officer got out of his vehicle, and called to the man to stop. The man walked away, and the officer repeated his order. The man said he wasn’t going to stop. On the officer’s third re quest, the man turned around and walked toward him, and shone the flashlight in the officer’s eyes. The officer noted that the man was “very sweaty,” and shaking badly. The man could not say why he was in the area with a flashlight. He refused to an swer the officer’s questions, pleading the fifth amend ment. But he did repeatedly say he was just walking and not committing a crime, ac cording to his arrest report. He was issued a trespass warning.
WADING AWAY 8:38 p.m. — 100 block of South Yonge Street, Ormond Beach Fleeing/attempting to elude. An officer was driv ing north in the 100 block of South Yonge Street when a yellow motorcycle drove past him at approximately 80 mph. The speed limit was 40 mph. The officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop for speeding, but the motorcycle driver, a 41-year-old Daytona Beach man, disregarded him, according to an arrest report. The driver continued at a high rate of speed after looking directly at the officer’s patrol vehicle.Theofficer, after deactivat ing his emergency lights, fol lowed the motorcycle and radioed its description, and eventually lost sight of it. A deputy spotted it driving recklessly on South Center Street from Hand Avenue, and tried to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver fled again. The rider, now with several police units on alert, trav eled onto a dirt path at the dead-end of Fleming Avenue — one which officers knew led directly to a deep canal, im possible to cross in a vehicle. Sure enough, when police caught up to the suspect, the motorcycle was in the canal and the man was wading through waist-deep water. He was ordered out of the water at gunpoint and arrested. When asked why he didn’t initially pull over, the man said, “When that cage comes near me, I get away,” accord ing to his arrest report. He was taken to the hos pital for medical clearance before being taken to jail.
SEPT. 4 ‘WITH LOVE’ 10:40 p.m. — 500 block of North Nova Road, Ormond Beach Loitering or prowling. Police conducted an extra patrol in reference to reports about a suspicious woman walking around.When an officer arrived, a witness told him that the woman had walked into his garage and left. Another officer saw the woman, a 35-year-old from Daytona Beach, sitting on a nearby curb. A second witness told him that the woman had been seen pulling on a business’ door handle and trying to enter a code into the key pad. The woman, according to her charging affidavit, was defensive when police spoke to her, and expressed concern about going to jail. She said she had been inside a nearby gated com munity, as she knew the entry code, and that she asked to use someone’s phone once inside.She denied going into any one’s garage or pulling on a business’ door handles. She did, however, say she used her finger to write “with love” on a window, and that she didn’t like “how everyone wasBecausemean.”police discovered the woman had an injury, she was transported to the hospital.Thewoman was charged.

Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly has sent Palm Coast City Council Dis trict 2 candidate Alan Lowe a cease and desist letter demanding that Lowe stop using the sheriff’s image in his campaign materials. Lowe told the Palm Coast Observer that he has since removed the imag es.“You have used these images in social media posts, mailers and in commercials to imply both Sheriff Staly and the Flagler County Sher iff’s Office are supporting and/or endorsing your candidacy,” the letter states. “Both implications are untrue and provide a false narrative for vot ers. As you are well aware Sheriff Staly has not endorsed you, or your candidacy, for office.” Lowe said he hadn’t used the imag es to imply that Staly supported him. “No of course not — and that’s why I put on the picture that I support him,” Lowe said. “However, since there was a confusion, I removed it.” The letter, dated Aug. 12 and signed by Staly and the FCSO’s gen eral counsel, John LeMaster, goes on to cite Florida law on endorsements. The law states that it is illegal for candidates of people working on behalf of candidates “to represent that any person or organization supports such candidate, unless the person or organization so rep resented has given specific approval in writing to the candidate to make such representation.” The letter con tinues, “You are misleading the vot ers of Palm Coast in support of your agenda without authorization.” It concludes by demanding that Lowe and his campaign “immediate ly cease and desist all uses of Sheriff Staly, the Flagler County Sheriff‘s Office, and/or any other likeness of either,” and adds that the sheriff would take legal action if the images weren’t removed.
Lowe has since removed the images, he told the Observer File photo by Danny Broadhurst Alan Lowe during a candidate forum.

Fugitive arrested after standoff in Palm Coast Deputies arrested a 33-year-old fugi tive after a two-hour standoff at a Town Center apartment on Aug. 31. The suspect, Leroy Capers Samp son Jr., surrendered after Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies breached a third-floor apartment at the Central Landings at Town Center apartment complex in Palm Coast at about 6:30 p.m. Aug. 31, according to an FCSO news release. Sampson had barricaded the door with a couch. He lives in the apart ment complex, but the unit in which he was arrested wasn’t his own: He’d entered it through an unlocked door, according to an arrest report. Sampson had five arrest warrants, including probation violations for felony battery, cocaine possession out and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. “His actions caused a large re sponse and concern to the commu nity, but that didn’t work out too well for him, and now he’s in the Green Roof Inn,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. “It’s now time for the courts to hold him accountable and send him away to prison for a long time.”Sampson has been convicted of seven felonies and six misdemean ors and has faced 35 charges in Florida and Georgia since 2004, including burglary, aggravated bat tery on a pregnant person and sell ing drugs.

“There's been a lot of people that care for us, from our firefighter family, from my work family, from our friends and family. Just everyone's been so kind. We have a big army. And we appreciate everybody that’s trying to help us.”
BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR Brant Gammon was in his late 40s when he decided to make a career change. And not just any career change. Gammon, who had been an IT specialist, decided to become a firefighter and EMT. He officially joined the Palm Coast Fire Department in Then2020.he decided to take his new career on another path. About five weeks ago, he graduated from the paramed ic program at Daytona State College.Ashe was completing the program, he started having headaches. Gammon, now 51, thought it was the stress of the program combined with working full-time as a fire fighter. But his symptoms got worse, and about three weeks ago, he was diagnosed with metastatic brain cancer. “He’d finished paramedic school about two weeks before he went into the hospital,” said Gammon’s wife, Josie. “He started slowing down, and then everything just kind of started showing up with the symptoms, and it came really fast.”The Palm Coast Firefighter Benevolent Fund, supported by the Palm Coast Profes sional Firefighters Local 4807, is helping the fam ily. The benevolent fund sup ports charitable activities and assists active and retired fire fighters and their families who are in Theneed.benevolent fund has established a Gofundme page for Brant and his family. As of Sept. 6, the fund, had 150 donations totaling nearly $19,000.Afamily friend also orga nized a benefit for the family on Labor Day at Giovanni’s Pizza & Pasta in Flagler Beach. Firefighters have been spreading the word on social media, using the hash tag GammonStrong.“Wefeelthelove,” Josie said. “There’s been a lot of people that care for us, from our fire fighter family, from my work family, from our friends and family. Just everyone’s been Brant Gammon, who decided to become a firefighter in his late 40s, was diagnosed shortly graduatingafterfrom DSC’s paramedic program. so kind. We have a big army. And we appreciate everybody that’s trying to help us.” Josie, a dispatcher with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, has sat by Brant’s side at Brooks Rehabilitation Hos pital in Jacksonville for the past three weeks. The couple has three grown children: Noah, and twins Grant and Grace. Grant serves in the Army. In a phone conversation with Josie and Brant, he said he wanted to become a fire fighter because he was “look ing for a career that would give back to the community 100%. And that was being a firefighter.”Hejoined the department’s intern program in 2018. Lt. Patrick Juliano, the president of the local firefighters’ union, said the department never discourages people who are interested in becoming fire fighters, whatever their age. “That’s one of the cool things about the department and the intern program,” Julia no said. “When somebody has the passion, the heart, the dedication, you can accom plish anything you set your mind to. Age is just a num ber. It’s not an obstacle that you look at and go, ‘Oh, well. You’re too old or too young to do this.’ You got to have the heart and soul to want to do this, and he definitely does.” Josie said she was surprised when Brant told her four years he wanted to change careers, but she never wavered in her support for him. “It kind of shocked me, because he went from IT to firefighter to wanting to be a paramedic, but I was really excited for him,” she said. “It was a whole new journey for him, and he was just ecstatic about it. He’s had fun with it, learning it and working really hard.”Juliano joked that one of the reasons Brant’s fellow firefighters want him to get better and return to the job is because he is a champion bar becue“Wechef.lovehis brisket, and his burnt ends are outstanding,” Juliano said. He’s won a lot of trophies in barbecue competitions, Josie said.Brant has an appointment with his neuro team next week, said Josie. “He’s working to get stron ger, so he can start treatment,” she said. “He can’t start radia tion and chemo until he gets a little bit stronger. It’s just a really nasty, ugly cancer, brain cancer. We’re just waiting on the whole big picture to be put together.”“Thisis why we established that benevolent fund,” Juliano said. “So we can do stuff like we’re going to do for the Gam mon family to help them (with their bills).”

Another day on the dais, another conflict on the Volu sia County Council. On Tuesday, Sept. 6, Councilwoman Heather Post defended herself against rumors brought before the council regarding her con cealed weapons permit and the incident on April 5 where she fell down stairs in a coun ty building, resulting in an injury from which she spent several months recovering. A previous candidate for Post’s District 4 office, Sherrise Boyd, alleged that when Post fell down the stairs, a fire arm dropped from her purse and onto the ground and was picked up by a citizen, whom Post told to hand the gun over to emergency medical servic esBoydpersonnel. said that she was told the gun was transported with Post to the hospital in a biohazard bag before it was turned over to Post’s husband. “I don’t know if this is true or not,” Boyd said. “I’m very honest. I don’t know, but it has come up to me and it’s been going around, and if that is the case, then I do believe that at the council [chambers], the metal detectors that were put up here, they shouldn’t just be for the Floridapublic.” statutes prohibit the carrying of a concealed weap on at any meeting of a govern ing body of a county, public school district, municipal ity or special district. How ever, people with concealed weapons are allowed to carry in county-owned buildings. Post’s fall occurred outside the county manager’s office. Post’s defense was later corroborated by County Man ager George Recktenwald and Interim Public Protections Director Mark Swanson, who said that after Post’s fall, her weapon was given to the county’s corrections director, who gave it to Post’s husband, a deputy with the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. “No weapon went inside an EVAC ambulance,” Swan son said. “No ambulance ever delivered a weapon any place. It was done as I just said.” Another member of the public, Wendell DallaRosa, called for the county to con duct an internal affairs inves tigation. County Councilman Ben Johnson asked where Post had been planning to put the gun that was in her purse on that day, as there had been a coun cil meeting scheduled for later that morning.

Volusia to adopt rollback tax rate
The decrease is largely due to a reduction in excess fees from the Tax Col lector’s Office, according to the county. While city staff had recommended an operat ing budget of $1.06 billion in July, staff members at the first budget hearing recommended that the council set a tentative operating budget of $1.058 billion, which is a reduction of about $1.9 million. The last time Volusia Coun ty adopted the rollback rate for its general fund was in 2018. This year’s budget includes the addition of 55 new posi tions, 41 of which are public safety positions, according to the county’s budget presen tation. It also includes a 4%, or $1 per hour, wage adjust ment for employees, bringing every full-time position and employee to a minimum wage of $15, plus the addition of a new county recognized holi day — Veterans Day. But while the county is able to adopt the rollback rate for the 2022-2023 fiscal year, staff warned the council that tax rate increases could come in future years. The county expects an increase of $8.8 million in Votran subsidy costs over the next three years, and it is predicting a potential $9.7 million increase in Sunrail operations and maintenance costs for fiscal year 20232024. The county also cited increased staffing demand for future years, particularly in public safety, despite being able to add positions this year. If the county doesn’t raise its tax rate next year, staff estimated that the county would need to use $7.2 mil lion in fund balance dollars for recurring day,takeforfrombecausetheretakelookpayissuesaid.thingtice,aoutsomewhereescoffersnotrollback.”towages,countyHehasyear,betionalready.setbutlikeJohnsonVolusiaofsuggestingeesofpayhaveedabouterCouncilwomanexpenses.HeathPostexpressedconcernthewagesofcontractemployees,ascompaniesuntil2026tobringtheirto$15,aswellasthewagespart-timecountyemploymakingunder$15anhour,itisafuturetopicdiscussion.“IthinkwecandobetterinCounty,”shesaid.CountyCouncilmanBensaidhewouldalsotoseewagesincrease,saidthatthecouncilhasitsmaximummillagerateHesaidaconversaregardingwageswouldbestheldafterthenewoncethenewcouncilbeenswornintooffice.alsowarnedthatifthewantstoincreasethecouncilwill“havequitlookingatrunningto“Wecan’tcutourcostandhavethemoneyinourandpaytheseexpenswithoutitcomingfrombesidescomingofourreserves,whichisvery,verydangerouspracespeciallywhensomegoeswrong,”Johnson“Sothat’swherethiscomesin.Wewanttothemmore,wehavetoandsay,‘We’regoingtoandputhighertaxesouttopayforthesepeople,themoneycomessomewhere.’”Thesecondpublichearingthecounty’sbudgetwillplaceat6p.m.onTuesSept.20.

The Volusia County Council unanimously approved the adoption of a millage rate at rollback of 4.8499 mills — or $4.8499 per $1,000 of tax able value — at its first budget hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 6. This is a lower tax rate than the maximum 4.8506 mills the council approved on July 19, a result of $2.3 million reduced from the county’s general fund budget.

According to the Ormond Beach Observer edition from 10 years ago this week ... � The Ormond Beach Observer printed its first edition on Sept. 6, 2012, with a front-page top head line about the city budget. The City Commission had set the millage rate at the rolled back rate — the rate that would generate the same dollar amount of tax revenue as the city had received the previous year. At the time, that meant an increase in the rate, because overall property values were declining: The rate went from $3.8933 per $1,000 in taxable value to $4.0132 per $1,000 of tax able property value. � The Ormond Beach Union Learn ing Center added a new creative arts program for its preschool students.

Dear Editor: A member of our community, Michael George McGuirk, recently passed away. Some may not know him, nor know the positive force he was in our community. His son, Matt, who had been sexually abused by his teacher when a young boy, died from an accidental drug over dose at the age of 31. Mike and his wife, Victoria, turned their grief and anger around, by creating a foundation to provide free professional counseling for children and adults who had been sexually abused. The foundation, Straight Up SolGier, has benefited manyThoselives. who knew Mike are grate ful for the time he spent on this earth.

East Carolina University won, but Mike’s exhilaration of victory was short lived. The flight to West Virginia with the Marshall Univer sity players and coaches crashed.

� The city was updating its ordi nances to allow buildings with a broader range or architectural styles to go through the planning process without requiring City Commis sion approval. Previously, buildings in four styles — Spanish, Bermuda, Mediterranean and Old Florida Cracker — did not have to proceed to the City Commission for approval, but buildings in other styles did. The city opted to add a broad “neoeclectic style” to the pre-approved style list so that buildings with more modern features did not require a City Commission meeting.

“This year was the biggest de mand for backpacks and school sup plies, probably due to COVID these past few years, and the cost of living that had a very serious effect, espe cially on the lower income families,” Jewish Federation President Marvin Miller wrote in an email. All in all, 8,955 total school sup plies were distributed to 89 schools in Volusia and Flagler counties. The Jewish Federation thanked its members and all donors who sup ported its annual backpack drive. All of the money collected went toward purchasing school supplies.

The author advocates for public schools for a variety of reasons. But there is no claim that public school education provides better education than private, charter or home school education. The truth is that the public education system in Florida and in this country does not educate our K-12 students to be competitive in the world.
The OECD PISA (Program for International Student Assess ment) reported that the U.S. ranked 25th in student achievement in 2018. U.S. student performance has been falling since 2000, when the PISA was initiated. The U.S. spends more than any large popu lation country in the world per K-12 student. Only Luxembourg, Iceland, Ireland and Norway spend more. More money will not fix the problem.School vouchers provide an option for education that parents like. They believe that their children will be better educated in charter and private schools. And parents are accountable for the education outcome that their children receive. And school voucher programs should continue, and even grow, to provide parents a better option for educating their children. BEN FITZPATRICK Ormond Beach

The first edition of the Ormond Beach Observer hit driveways on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012. On the front page was a story about the city’s millage rate, a feature about the Ormond Beach Union Church’s preschool and a brief about how Yogi Bear and BooBoo were going to be present at the city’s Movies on the Halifax event thatAsFriday.Ireadthrough the stories, I thought to myself, “This is a quintessential example of what the Observer is.” It’s not surprising to me that our front page these days could have very similar headlines, because our mission to be the com munity’s watchdog is still the same. Being a watchdog doesn’t always mean exposing corruption, as my former editor Brian McMillan reminded me in a recent phone call, when I asked him for help writing this column. Being a community’s watchdog also means informing the community of things happening around them, like the approval of new developments, a new business opening in the downtown, a new nonprofit that aims to make sig nificant, local impact. These things may not make headlines outside Ormond, but they are the heartbeat of the community. It’s why having a local newspaper matters. I haven’t been a part of the paper since its inception, but I have been here for half its lifetime, and those five years have solidified my belief that a newspaper is a criti cal component of having a vibrant, informed and thriving community. In the first edition of the Observ er, Brian wrote a column titled, “Why we’re here.” I think this statement sums up our mission pretty well: “Our goal is to men tion every single person in Ormond Beach once a year on these pages,” he wrote. “We haven’t done the math to figure out whether that’s even possible, but you get the idea. This is your newspaper. It’s all about you, your neighbors and your neighborhood.”I’dliketothink it’s possible. Maybe not in a year, but perhaps over a paper’s lifetime. Since I joined the Observer, I have written over 2,000 stories. And counting. About Ormond Beach. So don’t let anyone say nothing ever happens in this town. The first story I wrote was about the reaccreditation of the Ormond Beach Police Department in 2017. I remember walking into the police station for the first time, how I walked up to the glass separating the waiting room from the record’s department and gave them my name. I handed over my ID, and I sat down to Communitywait. news reporting hadn’t been in my five-year plan, but seeing as a few weeks earlier — after several unanswered job applications — I was bemoaning my decision to major in journalism as I wallowed in a pit of despair on my parents’ couch, I was feeling relieved to just be employed. Those that know me personally, know I tend to be a little dramatic some times. Forthat first story, I sat across the desk from Chief Jesse Godfrey and then Capt. Lisa Rosenthal. I brought this up to the chief recently in a phone call, and asked him if he remembered that day. Spoiler alert: He didn’t, but to his credit, we have spoken, many, many, many times since“Thatthen.helps us because it shows we’re transparent and approach able,” said Godfrey during our recent phone call. “I can say this: From my opinion as a police chief, your coverage of the police depart ment has done nothing but foster goodwill, and it helps us build and maintain trust in the community.” For me, as the senior editor of the paper, the emphasis of why we do what we do will always be com munity. There are other newspapers and news organizations that will tell you what’s going on in Washington, what’s going on throughout the state, but we want to make sure the community knows what’s happen ing in their backyard, good or bad — because it’s our community, too. And we at the Observer look for ward to continuing that mission for decades to come.

An instance regarding book banning DearTwoEditor:excellent letters in the recent Observer. Thank you Mindy Mclar non and Sheila Zinkerman: Mindy for her attack on City Commission ers who allow developers to ruin Ormond even more than they have already, and Sheila for pointing out the absurdity of the government’s letting religious schools be “public schools” supported by taxpayers. It’s the latter I want to go on about, indirectly, but also about the banning of books in schools. Both are about something that happened when I was an English teacher in Key West in the mid-1960s. In two classes, I had students reading “1984” by George Orwell, the 1949 novel about a totalitar ian government run by Big Brother. The book includes a sex scene, not a detailed one, but an act of rebellion by a couple who loved each other more than they did Big Brother. Students understood this, but one afternoon I was called to the principal’s office. A lay preacher was there, sitting with “1984” in one hand and a Bible in the other. He was on his way to gather other preachers to have the book banned from schools and libraries. The preacher held up the book and the Bible and said, angrily, “You have students read this trash but can’t use the Bible!” We asked him if he had actu ally read the book. He hadn’t, only the sex scene he saw by accident when he opened his son’s copy. We explained the context of the scene and why the book was important. And I told him that the Bible should be taught in schools. He calmed down a bit, and never followed through with his plan. Of course what I meant about the Bible being taught in schools includes the requirement that its teachers must have university qualifications in biblical history. I once took a Bible course taught by a Stetson professor, a night course for local adults, mostly church people. Turned out that several of the church people were upset about what he told them. The teacher was himself a minister, but he told the truth about the Bible’s contradictions. And on my own I have read scenes of extreme violence, and others about sexual activity, not stuff you’d want a kid to Inread.fact, Sheila, I think it would be better if the government removes Bibles from religious schools now that they’re now part of the public school system.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR Nick Formisano and his father sell over 500 empanadas a week.It’s one of the menu items for which their food truck, Tango01, is most well-known. And soon, they’ll be serving empanadas from their first brick-and-mortar restau rant, to be called Tango’s, at 600 S. Yonge St., Unit 16B ,in Ormond Beach. “We found that we really like working in Ormond,” Formisano said. “... We start ed thinking of the idea after COVID of having a restau rant, because there were no events during COVID, and we were like, ‘Man, we’re really depending on these events forGrowingwork.” up in South Flori da, Formisano was surrounded by locally-owned restaurants. But when he moved to Central Florida, he found himself eat ing mostly at chains. Tired of working at a dealership at the time, he convinced his father, Andres, to move from South Florida, and the pair opened their food truck in 2017, based in Deltona. Since then, they have participated in events with local breweries such as Beachside Brew Pub and Red Pig Brewery.

“Our community offers a new kind of retirement lifestyle –one full of top-quality care, deli cious, restaurant-style dining and a pet-friendly lifestyle,” said Jake Knisley, The Azure executive director, according to a news release from The Azure. “At The Azure of Palm Coast, we offer an upscale senior living experience with all the relaxed pace and natural beauty of bayside life, that is, in a word, idyllic. We invite residents to visit and discover our property.” The Azure already has doz ens of residents. Palm CoastFlagler Regional Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Greg Blosé said the 65 and over demographic in Flagler County is expected to continue growing in the coming decade. “We need quality healthcare facilities, like The Azure, to provide care to senior citizens in our community,” Blosé said. “...

“I think it kind of helped in a way, because once things started opening back up, people received us very well,” Meinert said. “They were looking for anything at that point, and to have something brand new to this area that their kids have never seen before was exciting. Espe cially some kids being COVID babies, they have never seen anything like this before.”
Ormond Beach will soon have a new Latin restaurant.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR When 2,000-yard passer Blake Boda announced three months ago that he was transferring to Cocoa, the Seabreeze football team was left in a Thelurch.Sandcrabs were entering the season with a quarterback group that had virtually no varsity experi ence. Sophomore Hayden Hayes and junior Zeli Hayworth, a transfer from Flagler Palm Coast, have shared the snaps since the preseason. But now Seabreeze appears to have found its starter.“Hayden did some great things back there,” Brown said after Hayes came off the bench to throw three second-half touchdown passes in the Sandcrabs’ 38-27 loss to Bartram Trail on Sept. 2 at Daytona Stadium. “He did his reads, gave his receiv ers a chance, and we know we got a corps for four receivers that all can do some special things once the rock is in their hands. I would say, obvi ously, (Hayes) took some strides as far as putting himself ahead.” For the second week in a row, Seabreeze failed to score in the first half. Hayes, nursing an injury, was scheduled to play sparingly, if at all, but that plan changed in the second quarter after senior receiver Sam Gonzalez, a former quarterback, took some snaps under center after Seabreeze struggled to move the ball. “(Hayes) was a little banged up from last week,” Brown said. “So, we didn’t know if we were going to have him. We talked about having him in emergency situations. But I looked at the trainer and said, ‘Oh right, it’s time to roll. It’s an emergency.’ So he came in and did some great things.” With Seabreeze trailing 31-0 at the half, Hayes got the ’Crabs on the scoreboard with a touchdown pass to Gonzales early in the third quar ter. Hayes added a 78-yard catchand-run to Denali Campbell with two minutes left in the game. And a pass to Campbell set up a final TD to Gonzalez with 1:07 left. Gonzalez then caught a 2-point conversion pass from Hayes for the game’s final points.“After our ex-quarterback left, we’ve been trying to figure out who the guy is, whether it’s Zeli or Hayden, and tonight Hayden stepped up,” Gonzalez said. “So let’s just hope he can keep it going throughout the season. All three of those (scoring) passes to me were perfect balls where the defender can’t get it. If he keeps it going, we’re going to have something special.” ELI’S COMING Brown played football for Greg Schi ano at Rutgers before transferring to Bethune-Cookman. Schiano took some pages from former Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer’s book on punt block schemes. Brown is following through and has a puntblocking dynamo in Eli Campbell, who blocked his third punt of the season against Bartram Trail. Eli Campbell, who had two blocked punts against Spruce Creek, blocked another late in the third quarter against Bartram that Brogan

We had some explosive plays on offense, but it took us a while to get going,” said Matanzas football coach Matt Forrest, whose squad fell to 1-1 on the young season after crushing Pine Ridge 42-0 in its opener.“It’sa lot to ask of our defense, but if our offense is having a slow night, the defense has to bow up and keep us in the game.

ANOTHER SLUGGISH START Brown blamed himself for the offensive struggles in the first half.“Ijust have to do a better job with play calling,” said Brown, who is taking over for former offensive coordinator Matt Johnson, who is now running the offense at McDaniel Col lege in Westminster, Mary land.The Sandcrabs (0-2) got some early chances, which they weren’t able to capitalize. Micah Karr intercepted pass on the game’s first play from scrimmage. Denali Camp bell had a long punt return. Eli Campbell’s strip caused a Bartram Trail fumble inside Seabreeze’s 10-yard line. “I put us in a bad situation where I was not calling our best plays to get things roll ing,” Brown said. “Because we know they’re a good team that’s not going to allow you to beatLaythonthem.”
It didn’t take long for Flagler Palm Coast and Mainland to agree to a makeup date for their football game. The game, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 1 at Daytona Stadium, was postponed after repeated lightning delays. The earliest it could have started was about 8:45 p.m. which was too late for a school night, FPC coach Robert Paxia said.Less than 24 hours later, the schools agreed to reschedule the game for 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, at Daytona Stadium. The Bulldogs, who had two games canceled last season, were most eager to reschedule this one, pitting two of the top teams in the area. FPC will now have to play three games in eight days.The Bulldogs host Matanzas in the annual Potato Bowl on Friday, Sept. 16. Three days later, they travel to Daytona for the rescheduled Mainland game. And on Friday, Sept. 23, they hostMainland,University.meanwhile, has a bye on Sept. 16. The Bucs will have nine days off before they face the Bulldogs on Sept. 19. The Bucs, however, will have to travel to Lake Minneola four days later. Game tickets for Sept. 1 will be accepted on Sept. 19, Mainland athletic director Terry Anthony said. Those who purchased tickets online through gofan.co, will have to purchase another ticket for the game as the website is automatically sending refund receipts to customers’ email addresses.

Biddle had three first-half touchdown runs for the Bears (2-0). And Liam Padron booted a 48-yard field goal. Padron kicked a short field goal just before half time, but an FPC penalty gave the Bears a first down and they turned it into another TD for a 31-0 halftime lead. In Week 1, the Sandcrabs trailed Spruce Creek 21-0 before their rally came up short in a 21-14 loss. “This week (at University on Friday, Sept. 9) we’ve got to focus on coming out strong,” Gonzalez said. “We’ve got to score first quarter, we’ve got to score second quarter, we’ve got to score the whole game.

Kelly scooped up and ran for a touchdown.“Wealways want to have a block skewed up, and obvi ously, Eli’s got the most blocks in the area, probably ever,” Brown said. “I know he had two his sophomore year, three last year and he’s already got three this year.” With Eli Campbell a threat to block a punt, and his broth er, Denali Campbell, a threat to run punts back for a score, teams almost have to pick their poison, Brown said. “If we have an opportunity on a punt, you better believe we’re going for the block,” Brown said. “And if you’re protecting (the punter), you better believe Denali’s going to have a chance to run it back. So, you have to pick which Campbell you want to give it up to.”

Seabreeze cheerleaders perform. “(Hayden Hayes) was a little banged up from last week. So, we didn’t know if we were going to have him. We talked about having him in emergency situations.

Flagler Palm Coast’s volleyball team honored first responders, active military and veterans at its home match on Aug. 31 and notched its first victory with new head coach Nicole Puritis. Students dressed up in red, white and blue as the Bulldogs defeated Deltona in five sets (17-25, 25-18, 19-25, 28-26, 15-5). Junior outside hitter Lily Puritis led FPC with nine kills. Middle Blockers Bekken Mills and Bailey Holmes each had seven kills and two blocks, while senior Cristina Calidonio had 11 digs and freshman setter Faith Dailey had 33 assists. Familiar face Matanzas’ boys bowling team has won 27 of a possible 28 points in starting the season at 4-0. Morgan Naydich and Jett Walden lead the Pirates with 200-plus averages. “I have 14 bowlers, and I’m interchanging 10 of them in the lineup,” coach Jens Oliva said. “I’m really hoping we get to state. I think we can do it.” Walden, who transferred from FPC last winter, had a hot first week for the Pirates with game scores of 253, 266 and 209 in wins over Spruce Creek and Atlantic. Oliva said he didn’t know Walden had transferred until he saw him walking the halls last February. “I thought, ‘he looks familiar,’” Oliva said.
