Two things about coyotes. They’re here. And they’re here to stay. Ormond Beach citizens were invited to a workshop Jan. 16 with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to learn about living with the wily mammals. Sightings are often reported in Ormond Beach on social media, but only about 15 people attended the workshop. The night before, there were 108 people at a workshop in New Smyrna Beach, the FWC staff said. Catherine Kennedy, senior wildlife assistance biologist with FWC, explained at the meeting that coyotes are now part of the landscape, inhabiting every county in the state. Some people would like to see them removed, but Kennedy said this is not possible. They are territorial, and another coyote will move into the area.

Before it became a hub for all things produce, the old Food Lion property — soon to become a Lucky’s Market — was a place to make a splash. A couple of weeks ago, Hawkins Construction discovered a pool at the Lucky’s Market project site, said superintendent Jeff Sims. Workers were digging in the property to put the grocery store’s grease tap in place when they hit concrete. Due to its bright blue coloring, Sims determined it had to be a pool. And while the Ormond-bythe-Sea resident has worked in construction for 40 years and has found objects like cars and buried tanks in past projects, this was a first. “I’ve never found a swimming pool,” Sims said. He also wasn’t aware there was one in that location, despite having lived in the area for 20 years. While not much is known about it, the pool dates back to the 1950s when the Oceanside Country Club SEE POOL PAGE 4A

In review: Conclusion of OB Life Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington urged people to stay engaged. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington held up a thick binder in front of about 50 people at the start of the OB Life program summary meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22. “This is the voice of the people,” he said. “This book represents a compilation of about nine months of work.” The binder contained upwards of 500 pages of feedback gathered from the six OB Life workshops. The OB Life initiative began in June 2018, and meetings were held every month on different topics, including community development, the environment and leisure. The feedback from the six workshops, which featured 17 speakers, will be used to help the City Commission update its strategic plan this year. There were over 600 questions answered in person and online. The seven meetings, including the program summary, are projected to cost the city about $35,000. This included renting the space inside the Calvary Christian Academy Kids Center, tables, chairs and the cost of the program’s moderator, Rafael Montalvo, from the University of Central Florida. Partington said that never before has a commission seen the level of citizen engagement brought on by OB Life. He said that leading up to the city’s next strategic planning update, the commission and city staff will refer to the binder for direction. “Please continue to stay engaged,” Partington said. “It will only make Ormond Beach better.” WORKSHOP TAKEAWAYS

On a scale from 1 to 5, workshop participants who filled out evaluations at the end of each workshop gave presentations a 4.37 rating. Overall satisfaction came in at about 4.3, Montalvo said. On average, 49% of workshop attendees filled out these evaluations. “I can tell you as someone who does a lot of these, that’s an extraordinary response rate on meeting evaluations,” Montalvo said. He explained some meetings saw 44% of people filling out the evaluations, while others jumped up to 70%. This is indicative of an engaged audience, he said. To summarize the six workshops, word clouds were generated to reflect the most common themes. For the first meeting, which dived into community development, words like “small,” “town” and “nature” made up sections of the diagram reflecting what people valued most about living in the city. The findings from that meeting, according to the OB Life summary of themes,

included that the theme tying all community development issues was “protecting and enhancing the things that contribute most to Ormond Beach’s small-town character, closeness to nature and quality of life.” That first workshop was the most attended, drawing a crowd of about 250 people. The three takeaways were protecting the character of the city by finding the right balance of preservation and growth, focusing on infrastructure and redevelopment, and planning wisely. The fourth workshop, attended by about 57 people, determined that participants expressed a “high degree of satisfaction” with police, fire and emergency preparedness services in the city. However, suggestions for improvement included the city undertaking a bigger role in emergency transport. Septic to sewer conversions, the Hand Avenue Extension, new bike paths and trails and redeveloping vacant properties were among the other suggestions in the six workshops. LOOKING AHEAD

The City Commission will hold a workshop for updating the strategic plan on Wednesday, Feb. 27. It will be facilitated by Marilyn Crotty, also from UCF. Also, the city announced that it will be launching a new financial transparency website on Feb. 15, that will allow people to see financial data more quickly than its current format. Finance Director Kelly McGuire said that this website will be updated weekly. Certain city financial “transparency reports” haven’t been updated on the web since 2017. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said this is part of a transition to a new software system for the city. It has been a big undertaking, she said, as the city’s previous software was 20 years old. “It really is as transparent as you can get,” Shanahan said. Gabriel Menendez, city director of public works, spoke about the continuation of the Open Gov software, which the city used for the OB Life series. Open Gov will be used to increase communication, highlight important issues and events, gather opinions and ideas and share feedback. Five years ago, Shanahan said the city held two workshops in which 100 people participated to update the strategic plan. Total attendance for the OB Life workshops was over 667 people — and there were people who attended every meeting. Shanahan said the central point for this workshop was for people’s opinions to be heard, and she thanked the commission for its vision of this initiative. “They wanted a community outreach where we went to the people, talked about issues that they were concerned about, and I think we did an amazing job at that,” Shanahan said.

Takeaways from OB Life’s first workshop, on community: 1. Protecting the character of the city by finding the right balance of preservation and growth 2. Focusing on infrastructure and redevelopment 3. Planning wisely

County interim manager gets offer Recktenwald’s contract for the county manager position will be reviewed at the next meeting. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington holds up the 500-page OB Life report during the program summary on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

WETLAND RULES TODAY VS. 2009 What is the difference between the city’s wetland rules today compared with what they were in 2009? That was a question asked at the Aug. 30 28 OB Life meeting, and the answer from staff was, in part, as follows: “The City adopted wetland regulations (today’s standards) consistent with St. Johns River Water Management District and Volusia County. ” But, after discovering a 2016 letter from Ormond Beach to Volusia County, recommending the county “eliminate its wetland regulations like Ormond Beach did in 2010,” CANDO 2 leaders raised concern regarding the city’s OB Life answer. The letter was written by then-mayor and current County Council Chair Ed Kelley, who wrote to tell the county leaders that the city at one time had regulations that were “more stringent” than either the county’s or the St. Johns River Water Management District standards. “The city regulations were difficult to administer, created conflict and were misplaced in that the regulations protected isolated wetlands that were not of high quality,” the letter reads. He continued to say that “at a time when the region is struggling to recover from the recent economic slump, it is difficult to understand why more stringent wetland regulations are required.” For Ken and Julie Sipes, founders of CANDO 2, the letter called into question whether the city was being truthful in saying it followed Volusia County standards when the city changed its wetlands rules. They wrote in an email to the Ormond Beach Observer, “This letter says otherwise.” The Sipeses said that isolated wetlands have value, such as water storage. They also added that by the date

of the letter, the economy had already recovered. “Kelley seems to be making the point that Ormond Beach must sacrifice environmental protections in order to have healthy economic development,” the Sipeses said. “This is a fallacy. Ormond Beach has flourished under the earlier more stringent environmental protections.” Ormond Beach City Manager Joyce Shanahan said in an email that the letter was a result of Volusia County requesting input from cities to propose changes to the county’s wetland protection regulations. “The mayor’s letter, as did other jurisdictions, encouraged the proposed Volusia County wetland standards to be consistent throughout the region,” Shahanan said. No action was taken by the county in the end. In an email, Planning Director Steven Spraker explained that there are two issues: wetland classifications and buffers. The city eliminated its wetland classifications in 2009, following the lead of SJRWMD. (Volusia County never had a classification system.) The city also adopted a policy of allowing for off-site wetland mitigation. This decision followed the Environmental Advisory Board, in summer 2008, which came to a consensus that “the city’s wetlands regulations were too strict,” he wrote. The county’s buffer requirements are more stringent than the SJRWMD’s requirements. All cities have to abide by the county’s rules. In an email, Kelley said that the 2016 letter was sent in hopes of all governmental entities adopting state regulations, “which would eliminate confusion with permitting.” “Shouldn’t the state regulations be adequate?” he said. “If not, I am sure someone in the legislature would have insisted in changing.”

Interim Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald could soon lose the first word in his current title. The Volusia County Council voted unanimously at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22, to allow staff to draft a contract offering Recktenwald a permanent county manager position, halting a national search. Recktenwald, a longtime county employee, had been serving as the interim manager since last June, after former County Manager Jim Dinneen retired. The contract will be reviewed and discussed by the council at its next meeting on Feb. 5. Volusia County Council Chair Ed Kelley said Recktenwald told him he wanted to be officially considered for the position on Jan. 12. Council members across the dais expressed their approval of Recktenwald for the job. “You don’t always have to go somewhere else to find an expert, when you have an expert here that became the expert because he worked in this county, and worked well throughout this county,” County Council At-Large Representative Ben Johnson said. With the changes that are coming to Volusia — specifically the outcome of the Amendment 10 legal battle and the special election for a half-cent sales tax — Johnson said bringing a new county manager from outside the area could create a problem, since circumstances could change in a few months. If Recktenwald doesn’t work out, Johnson said the council can “buy him a suitcase.” Councilwoman Billie Wheeler said she’s heard “nothing but good reports” of his communication with the public and the cities. “He knows what he’s doing,” Wheeler said. “He has the experience. He certainly has the respect out there in the public and he has my respect.” Councilwoman Heather Post said that at first, she was an advocate for a national search to hire a new county manager, as she felt that was a way to “reboot” and move the county in a positive direction. However, seeing how Recktenwald has routinely communicated with her from the start and that they’re able to have “hard conversations” without creating personal problems, she changed her mind.

A book on the club’s history from 1907-2007, written by Prudy Taylor Board, first mentions the Olympic-sized pool in an account by country club member Tommie Shutt. She recalled joining Ellinor Village Country Club in 1951 and how much she loved swimming and golf. “So we survived that first year without air conditioning or heat, and we survived the hurricane,” she said in the book. A brochure from the late 1950s advertises “swimming in the shimmering fresh water of the palm-lined swimming pool.” It also notes the pool had been the site of past women’s synchronized swimming championships.

While the book doesn’t contain any further mention of the pool, Board did note that in 1964, a year after Oceanside Country Club bought the golf course, the country club sold 1,450 feet of its Granada Avenue frontage for $445,000.

Coyotes: fact and fiction FROM PAGE 1

cans secure. They actually help maintain a healthy ecosystem in Florida, eating rodents and insects, she said. They also control the population of small animals such as raccoons, which do a lot of damage to bird and turtle nests. It’s against the law to feed coyotes, and it creates a dangerous situation with coyotes losing fear of humans. Attacks on humans are extremely rare, but they kill cats and small dogs and can be a danger to children. If a coyote approaches when you are with a child, Kennedy said to pick the child up. She said to never run from a coyote. Keeping cats inside the house will save them from predators. “I lost a cat to a coyote,” Kennedy said. “It was terrible. Now I keep my cat inside where it’s also safe from dogs and traffic.” Kathy Dunlop, of Tomoka Oaks, has seen several coyotes in her neighborhood. After the meeting, she said she’s also going to follow Kennedy’s recommendation and use a short leash to walk her dog, rather than a long, retractable leash. “If a dog is far in front of you, a coyote may not associate you with the dog,” Kennedy said. “Keep your dog close to you.” Elaine Sipe, and Marie and Bill Rohlfs, said they have seen coyotes in their Ormond-by-the-Sea neighborhood and they can attest to coyotes killing cats. They told of a neighbor who at one time

fed as many as 13 feral cats in her driveway. Now, there are none. Coyotes can be scared away with noise, called hazing. There are a variety of methods, such as tin cans full of coins, air horns, pots and pans, motion-activated sprinklers, sprays, etc. The coyotes will often run a short distance, and then the person must “double down” and get louder and move their arms to get the coyote out of the area. The FWC will provide a list of professional trappers.

COYOTE MYTHS

One myth about coyotes is that they hunt in packs like wolves or dogs. They actually live in family units with one mating pair and other coyotes related to them. A person should be more concerned about dogs, Kennedy said. Between 1960 and 2006 in the U.S. and Canada, there were an average of 3.5 attacks per year by coyotes, with two fatalities over a 46-year period. For domestic dogs in the U.S., there are 1,000 emergency room visits per day and five million cases a year that require medical treatment. The

presentation cited www.dogsbite. org as the source of information. Another myth is that coyotes will mate with dogs. Kennedy said this would only happen if there are no other coyotes around. It’s extremely rare for a coyote to get rabies. Only one case was reported in Florida from 1997 to 2016. MUSIC OF THE NIGHT

“They add to the music of our lives,” Kennedy said. “They sing and call to each other. If you hear it, it’s an unforgettable experience. People come to Florida for

wildlife. They contribute to that.” Because of different habits, the coyotes can share a landscape with panthers and bobcats. She said the coyotes learned to live in our world, and now people need to learn to live with them. The workshop contained much more information, such as a new technique being used out west, placing a roller bar on top of a fence to prevent coyotes climbing over.

Looking to 2019

Dear Editor: I’m writing in opposition to requests by the developers of Ormond’s Granada Pointe to amend their usage of the property to accommodate a car wash and cut down yet another tree. For decades, Ormond Beach has had a reputation as a cultural, historic and aesthetic jewel in the crown of Volusia County. For decades, the city’s leaders and residents saw the wisdom in maintaining a heightened approach to aesthetics and city planning. This was evident in residential developments such as the Trails, Tomoka Oaks and Tymber Creek. Houses were designed to blend into — not obstruct or replace — the landscape. Strong land development codes were at that time enacted to protect both trees and their symbiotic wetlands. In 1997, residents voted to tax themselves for a $1.5 million bond to preserve the 80-acre Rivers Property. In 2003, Ormond citizens rallied to “Save the Loop.” In 2006, voters approved a referendum to put building height limits in the city charter and protect our beachfront. Outside entities have even respected our traditions. Office Depot acknowledged Ormond’s character by preserving a magnificent set of trees. The location of Sahai Pediatrics is even more impressive. The first time I saw this site I did a double-take. Never before had I seen a more beautiful commercial property. This is the kind of development Ormond should strive for. The irony is that both are within a stone’s throw of the 27 clear-cut acres of Granada Pointe, a development that will bring a gas station and convenience store — and possibly a mechanized car wash — to Ormond’s main thoroughfare. I could list the advantages, in the realm of environmental science, of such planning strategies, but it may

Dear Editor: 2018 was a tumultuous year for Volusia County as many things began to come to light: the questionable departure of the county manager, the insight into the deficient operations of various county departments (the Medical Examiner’s office, ambulance services, etc.), the questions about the longstanding neglected conditions of various county facilities (the evidence facility, public works facilities, various fire stations, etc.), an underlying culture of operating on the basis of individual agendas rather than on the will of the citizens (delayed action on impact fees, Amendment 10 opposition, etc.) and more. I look at every one of those be enough to say that trees clean the air, wetlands prevent flooding, and both are aesthetically splendid and necessary. Strip malls placed on clear-cut forest and wetlands do just the opposite. In 1980, historian Alice Strickland said the following in her book “Ormond On The Halifax”: “The city government, and the people of Ormond Beach have managed so far to value the natural beauty of the town and surroundings above the material value of indiscriminate development, and the destruction of ecological and historically important areas. The early pioneers of Ormond … would appreciate and approve of the concern and efforts of its present citizens to preserve these valuable assets so that in another hundred years Ormond Beach will survive as a town that is noted for its conservative approach to development, and which has retained its God-given beauty and attractions.” If the gas station and convenience store — and a potential

I look forward to positive change as this momentum moves us into 2019, and I work to move the future Volusia County toward not always being the “exception” but as the “rule” for others to emulate.

car wash — slated for Granada Pointe are not examples of what Strickland called indiscriminate development, I don’t know what is. One thing I do know: We don’t need to cut down any more trees. ERIC BREITENBACH Ormond Beach

Editor’s Note: The developer of Granada Pointe suggested that the city remove the additional historic tree because it may present a hazard to the mast arms of the planned traffic light.

Resident involvement key to shaping city Dear Editor: I attended the Jan. 10 Planning Board meeting as a new resident of the city of Ormond Beach. The primary topic of discussion was a series of amendment requests for a Planned Business Development along the city’s main east-west corridor. Ultimately, the board voted 4-3 to deny an amend-

ment that was in clear violation of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. It is concerning to me that such an obvious decision required hours of deliberation and came down to such a close vote. My attendance at this meeting allowed me to see that I will need to dedicate time and effort to following the activities of this and other city boards, to help ensure that the community I have chosen to call home remains a place I want to live. I say this in part because the developer, whose project was denied an amendment, was encouraged to seek a change to the Comp Plan that would allow him to achieve his desired outcome. Many citizens do not realize the function or authority of their city’s Comp Plan or the dangerous precedent created if a board votes in violation of their plan. Nor do folks always realize that it is the citizenry that must guard the plan from undesirable changes. As residents, we must resolve to get involved and stay engaged in determining the future of our city. Personally, I chose Ormond and my new neighborhood because of its proximity to groceries, family-owned restaurants and shops, and the increasingly vibrant downtown. Having destinations to which I can walk or bike from home, in lieu of having to use my car, is important to me. My involvement in my new city will focus on working to make it more pedestrian and bike friendly and preserving natural areas. Increased participation will strengthen our sense of community, and we can all take prideful ownership in preserving and enhancing Ormond’s unique character, history and charm.

A LITTLE PIZZA MY HEART 6:15 p.m. — 100 block of Black Hickory Way Battery touch. Police arrested a 51-year-old Ormond Beach man who threw pizza at his wife during an argument. According to a police report, the woman locked herself in a bedroom until police arrival. Once she made contact with officers, they saw pizza stains on her clothes and sauce in her hair. The woman told officers that they had many arguments throughout the night. She said she poured herself a glass of wine for dinner and that her husband poured it down the sink. She poured herself another glass and sat down to eat the pizza they made for dinner when the argument continued, and he began throwing pizza at her. One slice hit her head, police report. She told police that she tried to throw pizza back at her husband, but missed and hit him on the cheek. He then shoved her, causing her to fall over a chair and hit her head against the wall. Her husband was taken to jail.

A 15-year-old Ormond Beach boy is facing a misdemeanor charge after he threw a golf ball at a woman’s car as she was driving west on Sanchez Avenue. The boy took off running, but the woman was able to talk to the boy’s friend, who stayed at the scene. The ball caused a dent in her hood and a scratch on her windshield. Police went the boy’s house and spoke to him and his grandfather. The boy told police that he was walking home with his friend when he found a golf ball. He saw a car coming and told his friend to “watch this,” with the intention of throwing the ball under the vehicle to see it get run over. Instead, the ball bounced and hit the vehicle. He told the officer he ran because he was scared. He apologized for his actions.

Playing rival Spruce Creek on the road, Seabreeze’s boys soccer team walked away from Spruce Creek High School on Jan. 18 with a 1-1 tie. The draw interrupted the Sandcrabs’ 15-game winning streak. The goal was just the fourth the defense has given up for the entire season.

rom the opening kick to the final buzzer, Kara Haas’ body ached. The same could be said for the rest of her teammates on Seabreeze’s girls soccer team. Three days prior to taking the field against rival Flagler Palm Coast, the Sandcrabs played arguably their toughest match of the season: They took on Spruce Creek — on the road. The Sandcrabs expended a lot of energy, both mental and physical, in their attempt to match the Hawks. The Sandcrabs lost 1-0 on Jan. 18. Still, against the Bulldogs on Jan. 21 (this time on their home field at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex), they powered through their aching muscles and sore joints. The Sandcrabs played the Bulldogs relatively evenly in the opening half. However, a late goal by FPC’s Taylor Murphy gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead entering half time. Haas evened the score 8 minutes into the second half. The junior received a cross from teammate Riley Stoner. Haas’ initial shot ricocheted off the right post. It bounced back to her, and she put the second attempt into the back of the net. The Sandcrabs had an opportunity to win the game in the match’s final moments. Stoner, a sophomore, slipped behind the Bulldogs’ defense with 15 seconds remaining in the game. She ripped a kick from well beyond the box as the seconds ticked away. It was a line drive — but it curved away at the last moment, just missing the left goal post. The Sandcrabs played the Bull-

dogs to a draw. It was their third tie this season. “These past two games were really hard for us,” Seabreeze head coach Kim Merkel said. “I think the girls just came out a little flat.” Haas added that the team was basically running on fumes after playing against Spruce Creek. “We could have beat FPC, but I couldn’t really ask for anything more,” she said. “We got beat up a lot in the previous game.” The tough schedule to close the season has taken its toll, but it has had its benefits. Haas said it’s helped push the team to compete. The opening round of the district playoffs begins on Thursday, Jan. 24. “We have a great future ahead of us if we keep working as hard as we have these past two games,” Haas said. “ We can go pretty far.”

Catching waves for cancer Amber Jeckovich catches a small wave in June 2018.

Ormond Beach surfer raises $1,000 for cancer by challenging herself to surf 365 days in a row. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Amber Jeckovich

rmond Beach resident Amber Jeckovich remembers the water on Aug. 9, 2018. The waves were small, but it was a beautiful day, she recalled. It was also the 12th anniversary of her grandmother’s death. Jeckovich was 10 years old when her 47-year-old grandmother died from cancer in 2006. “She said she wanted to be as light as a butterfly, and so when she did pass away, we saw butterflies everywhere,” Jeckovich said. “Yellow ones, specifically.” Now at 22, Jeckovich was in the middle of her 365-day surf-

ing challenge. On that day, there were two yellow butterflies near her on the water the entire time she was there. What started out as a New Year’s resolution to both help her progress in her surfing and challenge herself soon turned into an opportunity to make a difference for a cause that struck close to home. Her initial goal was to catch a wave every day in 2018, regardless of whether she was sick, tired, traveling or even if a hurricane passed through the area. It wasn’t until a few months later that she decided to “surf for a cause.” And she knew what organization she wanted to help. In 2016, during her time working at Pure Life Surf School, she helped teach a group of 40 people how to surf in Daytona Beach. They were with First Descents, an organization that helps young adults with cancer have outdoor adventures with the hope to empower them “beyond their diagnosis.”

There she met a woman who went by the nickname “Slip Stitch.” Teaching her how to surf was special, Jeckovich said. Slip Stitch told her she had been scared at first, but that Jeckovich made her feel comfortable enough to enjoy it. On April 10, 2018 — the 100th day of her surfing challenge — Jeckovich started a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $541. That would help First Descents provide meals for an entire group attending a local surf camp. She said she believed that was a realistic goal; One that she could reach by donating money herself if she wasn’t able to meet it at the end of the year. “Now I knew I couldn’t stop, no matter what,” Jeckovich said. And she didn’t. Jeckovich caught at least one wave every day in 2018, even when she was traveling. She visited California, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Barbados and Martinique, and she made sure she packed her surfboard. On the days she was traveling, she made sure to either go surfing before her flight or as soon as she arrived at her destination. It wasn’t always easy. In July, she came the closest to almost missing a day. Jeckovich’s flight left too early from California for her to surf beforehand, but since her plane was scheduled to land in Florida at 5 p.m. that day, she figured she had plenty of time to surf after she arrived. But, during her layover in Texas, Jeckovich’s next flight was delayed for three hours. It was a moment of high anxiety. She thought, “I’m going to miss my wave.” By the time she got to Ormond, it was after 10 p.m. She ran to the Granada Beach approach and caught a wave in the darkness. In the earlier days of her challenge, she also caught a few waves while the water was almost 40 degrees. Jeckovich said she’d get an “ice cream headache” anytime she went under. It wasn’t unusual for her to be the only one surfing those days. As the days passed, Jeckovich met her GoFundMe goal, and surpassed it. She spent the last few days of her challenge in Martinique. The night before day 365, Jeckovich went to sleep having raised $823. She woke up on the final day to see an anonymous donation of $177, making the total exactly $1,000. “I was super stoked that I made it,” Jeckovich said. She went out on the beach and braved the 8-foot waves of the Caribbean island. In the end, Jeckovich surfed for 371 days straight, a feat she describes as a one-time-only “incredible experience.” Then, Jeckovich received grave news on Thursday, Jan. 16. Her friend, Slip Stitch, had died the night before. There were days that Jeckovich didn’t want to go out on the water. There were times she was sick, tired, busy or juggling her multiple jobs and school work. But what kept her on track was thinking back to those who are battling, or battled cancer, like her grandmother and Slip Stitch. “They don’t want to be dealing with cancer,” Jeckovich said. “They don’t want to be dealing with it, but they have to, and they’re doing it.”

City celebrates Arbor Day by planting tree at Ormond Beach Elementary

Students get ready to plant a new cathedral oak during the Arbor Day tree planting ceremony in front of OBE.

t the start of the city’s 2019 Arbor Day tree planting ceremony, Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington asked a group of Ormond Beach Elementary second-graders if they had ever read a book under a tree. Some piped up with enthusiastic yeses, while others shook their heads. “If not, you should try that,” Partington said. “Trees are so important, and the city puts a lot of importance on trees.” In commemoration of the holiday, the city chose Ormond Beach Elementary as the loca-

tion to plant a new cathedral oak. Students from Laura Cook’s second-grade class helped in the effort. They shoveled dirt around the tree and in return, the city thanked them with doughnuts. Partington began the Arbor Day event — which is traditionally celebrated in April in the rest of the country — by asking the students what trees do for us. The students gave him an array of answers, including how trees provide oxygen, food and wood for pencils. The mayor read a proclamation dedicating Friday, Jan. 18, as a day to celebrate Arbor Day in Ormond Beach, which has been named a Tree City 28 years in a row. The

tree was donated by Yellowstone Landscape. Environmental Discovery Center volunteer Marjorie Giuffre was the event’s guest speaker. She talked about the mulberry and walnut trees in her yard, and entertained the students with stories about the animals that eat her trees’ fruit. “While I watch the adventures of the squirrel, and bird, and deer and turkeys so nearby, I am aware and in awe of nature and so appreciative of the trees that have provided, not only bounty of food for these delightful animals, but also joy and and peace that comes to me as I observe their antics,” Giuffre said.

New beach vendors have big plans

BIZ BUZZ

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

The ocean breeze was blowing across a wide, flat beach on a recent day. Alex and Victoria Kratochwill, setting up their beach vendor business at the Cardinal Drive approach, were hoping it was an omen for a great year. Storms and red sand presented challenges last year. The energetic and personable couple, both 30, are excited about their plans. In addition to umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc., they have a variety of games, such as corn hole, volley ball, a golf game and more. They also plan to work with local artists and bring some of the Ormond Beach art scene to the beach. Their first year was quite a learning experience, coping with soft sand, high tides, sudden rains, and winds that can send umbrellas sailing away. “We are ready to dive headfirst into our second year and have received such an overwhelming amount of support and love from the community,” Victoria Kratochwill said. While traditional vendors have always staked out a spot on the beach, they service the beach from Andy Romano Park to Granada Boulevard. Headquartered in a truck, they have a fourwheeler with a trailer to transport

their equipment. They enjoy seeing families playing their games, instead of sitting and staring at phones. “We’ve made it our mission to provide plenty of beach activity for family fun and competition,” she said. They are environmentally conscious, and will arrange beach clean-ups and encourage their customers not to litter. It’s a big change from their office life in Baltimore before moving to Volusia County in 2015. But it’s not the relaxing type of

job some people might think, her husband said. It’s a lot of work, especially carrying and setting up the equipment. “But you’re looking at the ocean and not a cubicle wall,” he said. The biggest perk, he said, is that they get to work together every day, even though they might have the occasional disagreement. They enjoy getting to know people they meet on the beach. “We hear their stories and they hear ours,” he said.

Victoria and Alex Kratachowill started a parttime business making and renting corn hole games in Maryland when they were laid off in the 2013 government shutdown. He worked for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and she worked for a company that hosted government servers. Their corn hole business became successful, and they moved to New Smyrna Beach and started a business they still own, BMore Corny LLC. A year ago, they started to ask about beach vendors offering their games, and after talking with the company that has the county contract for beach vending, Volusia County Beach Rentals, they ended up becoming vendors and moved to the Ormond Beach area. The government may be shut down again, but the young couple are busy with their new business on the beach.

A+ Tutoring Inc. has announced Romana “Ronnie” Fedun has joined the company. She most recently worked for three years as school counselor for Mainland High School. Fedun will help students conduct college research and the application process, as well as assist with scholarships and financial aid. Muffi Chanfrau, president, said, “With her addition to our center, we are able to help provide much-needed services as our students navigate their futures in preparation for the next level of their educations.” Fedun has served in capacities such as scholarship coordinator, AP Coordinator, testing proctor and academic advisor.
