Ormond Beach couple arrested on child pornography charges

Ormond to consider staggering and extending City Commission terms

Over 2,300 photos and videos were found at the couple’s home.

Mayor Bill Partington proposed a ballot question in the upcoming mail-in special election on May 21.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Deputies arrested an Ormond Beach couple on multiple counts of possession of child pornography after an investigation dating back to last November, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office reported on Thursday, Jan. 31. Toni Zorda, 54, is charged with 30 counts of possessing child pornography, according to a VCSO press release. Her husband, 50-year-old Patrick Stephens, is charged with three counts of possessing photos and videos depicting a sexual performance of a child. He’s also been charged with failure to register as a sex offender, as he was previously convicted of possessing child pornography

in Georgia in 2000. Detectives searched the couple’s home in the 700 block of Orchard Avenue on Dec. 3, 2018, after Stephens was arrested during a traffic stop on a warrant for failing to properly register as a sex offender with previous felony charges. When Stephens returned home that day, detectives interviewed him before taking him to jail. Detectives found more than 2,300 photos and videos of girls between 5 and 12 years of age in sexually explicit situations. Stephens remains in custody on the previous charges of four counts of failure to register as a sex offender and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. His bail is set at $75,000. Zorda is also being held on $75,000 bail. The VCSO has asked that any potential victims of these suspects or another similar case call the VCSO’s child exploitation unit at 323-3574.

Voters may soon have a say in how Ormond Beach conducts its municipal elections. During his closing comments at the Feb. 5 City Commission meeting, Mayor Bill Partington discussed staggering commission terms and extending them from two to four years. An Ormond resident had brought the idea up earlier in the meeting, and Partington said the topic also came up when he attended a recent Rotary Club meeting: Members asked him

why the city risks losing all its commissioners, with all their institutional knowledge, at one time. “And frankly, I’ve gotten that same look and those same questions from elected officials across this county and then across the state, really not understanding how we got into the position where we did it that way and not understanding why,” Partington said. Because the city is already committed to a special election on May 21 for the half-cent sales tax referendum, Partington asked city staff to draft an ordinance to add a ballot question for residents on staggering and extending term limits. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said it could be done, but the

The City Commission voted 4-1 to amend its contract with Waste Pro of Florida to adjust the recycling program and rates. Commissioner Dwight Selby voted against. The city will no longer recycle glass and non-marketable plastic containers (Any plastics aside from No. 1 and 2) This will increase the monthly residential recycling fee by $1.21 per unit.

city would need to get the ballot language to the supervisor of elections by Feb. 28, and would likely need to hold a special City Commission meeting because the ordinance will need two readings. City Commissioner Dwight Selby asked that the commission think about shifting its election to the primaries, which will give Ormond Beach a chance to go to a runoff in the general election should there be more than one candidate. Citing stability and retention of institutional knowledge, the rest of the commission agreed with Partington. “Let’s put it out for the voters and see what they say,” City Commissioner Troy Kent said.

“We want to come together with the residents and the city and grow the area together.” LENA LUX, of Tipsy Taco

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

ight restaurants clustered near Andy Romano Beachfront Park along State Road A1A are banding together to promote themselves and build up the area. Calling themselves Restaurant Row Ormond Beachside, they are working on plans to advertise together and also to seek help from the city. “We’ve had two meetings and we have all kinds of ideas,” said Lena Lux, general manager of Tipsy Taco, 746 S. Atlantic Ave. The group would like for the city to have events such as kite festivals, concerts, surfing contests, 5K races or First Fridays at Andy Romano. Lux also suggests banners on light posts, like they have on Granada Boulevard, that say “Restaurant Row.” After Lux presented the idea to the City Commission in January, a meeting was set with staff and local leaders for Feb. 6. Steve Spraker, city planning director, said the city’s economic director and the executive director of the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce will attend the meeting. “I’m super excited they have responded,” Lux said. “We want to come together with the residents and the city and grow the area together.” Business is especially needed from locals in the tourist offseason, Lux said. Streetscaping and landscaping would also improve the area, but Lux said they realize the area is in the city and the county maintains the road and runs the beach. “We’re starting to learn,” she said. “We’re just taking baby

steps. We want to start small and get the ball rolling.” One thing all the restaurant owners agree on is the damage done by the two hurricanes, Matthew and Irma, which is still causing problems — not because of damage to the restaurants, but because some hotels have not reopened. Also, the frequents rains of 2018 dampened business, especially for the upper deck at Dimitri’s Bar and Grill. The restaurants include the Tipsy Taco Cantina, Dimitri’s Bar and Grill, Riptides Raw Bar and Grill, Black Sheep Pub and Eating House, Don Peppers Mexican Grill Cantina, The Beach Bucket, Bonefish Grill and Charlie Horse Restaurant. FEELING NEGLECTED

Some business owners on A1A look at Ormond MainStreet, with its landscaping, lamp posts, flags and events, and they wonder when their turn is coming. “A lot of us on restaurant row are feeling neglected,” said the owner of Dimitri’s Bar and Grill, 790 S. Atlantic Ave. Dimitri (who likes to go by his first name only) said he believes South Atlantic Avenue has been on the city’s back burner. “It’s time to do something here,” he said. “Granada Boulevard gets Christmas wreaths. What do we have?” He pointed out that the county is creating a new parking lot north of the Restaurant Row area, which will provide parking for any planned festivals or events. “We are on the beach. People should be coming to the beach to

hang out,” he said. He congratulated the city on the creation of Andy Romano Beachfront Park, calling it “outstanding.” He also thanked the commissioners for allowing him to build the upper deck about six years ago, which has been very popular. He believes helping the businesses will result in helping the city, by providing more tax revenue. He points out that the area is one of the few in Florida that is not overdeveloped, and the city should take advantage of it. Spraker said improvements occur all over the city, including A1A, such as pedestrian crosswalks and several buildings on the state road that are being redeveloped. HIGH HOPES

A group of friends from Ormond Beach enjoy the view from the deck at Dimitri’s Restaurant: Glenna Colley, Penny Edwards, Teresa Smith and Christi Beard.

Lori Dupree, co-owner and manager of Charlie Horse Restaurant, 810 S. Atlantic Ave., sees a big potential for the street, pointing out the beachside neighborhoods to the west of the restaurants. She envisions a street like Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach,

with residents and visitors walking and biking along the street, if more businesses could develop on A1A in Ormond. Dupree promotes her restaurant to the hotels and makes sure to deliver advertising material to the Chamber of Commerce for distribution. She sees Restaurant Row working with the chamber to have the most potential. She does not agree with some who say South A1A is an eyesore, saying the worst lot is where the county is slowly tearing down buildings to build a parking lot. Otherwise, there are only a few closed businesses. “It’s not like we have bombedout buildings,” she said. There’s a lot of discussion in Daytona Beach about International Speedway Boulevard, considered to be the entrance to the tourist area. Dupree would like to see tourists to enter Daytona from Ormond, down A1A. “It’s all one big tourist area,” she said. The Restaurant Row initiative will help spread the word about the wide selection of family-friendly restaurants on South A1A, she said.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

The future of the half-cent sales tax is now in the residents’ hands as the Volusia County Council voted 6-1 on Tuesday, Feb. 5, to hold a referendum via a special mail-in ballot May 21. The election is estimated to cost $490,000, with Volusia County bearing about half of the overall cost. The rest of it will be funded by the municipalities, based on their projected profit shares should the tax pass. The city of Ormond Beach will contribute 5%, amounting to $35,000. If the tax is implemented, Ormond is estimated to gain $2.3 million annually for infrastructure funding. A half-cent sales tax has been in the works in Volusia since the beginning of last year, but was placed on hold in May 2018 as a result of an unexpected audit requirement imposed by the state Legislature — and the discovery

that impact fees had not been raised for 15 years. After raising impact fees last December, it didn’t take long for the half-cent sales tax discussion to be brought back. By Jan. 10, following a roundtable meetings of local elected officials, the council asked staff to draft an ordinance for a special election. Not all the council members agreed this was the right move. County Councilwoman Heather Post, who dissented against the motion, said that she doesn’t feel taxing the residents is the answer to the county’s infrastructure needs. “It’s a regressive move that unfairly taxes and puts the burdens on the citizens in the county that can least afford it,” she said. She asked that the county find another solution, and that the council sit down and discuss its priorities to make decisions on areas that need to be addressed. If the half-cent sales tax ordinance was passed, which it was, she

COUNCIL SAYS ‘NO’ TO REVISION OF IMPACT FEES Developers will not be allowed to pay impact fees in advance of the impending hike this March, the Volusia County Council decided, when it denied the Volusia Building Industry Association’s request at the council meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 5. VBIA had approached the council with this request, saying that its members were concerned that permit applications would need to pay the new impact fee amounts due to local government delays in review and issuance of building permits as a result of increased building activity. Staff was concerned that, by allowing this exception, developers and builders could avoid the new fee. Some residents asked the council to hold strong on the ordinance. “Don’t back down,” Daytona Beach resident Linda Smiley said. “You implemented these impact fees, and you sent out the notice. The chips need to fall where they fall.” The County Council decided it was time to resolve the impact fee issue, especially with the upcoming half-cent sales tax special election. “We did what we said we were going to do,” Council Chair Ed Kelley said. “We increased the impact fees.” The council set a deadline — March 4 — and Kelley said the council held the meeting today for transparency and to show that everyone had an opportunity to voice an opinion. He asked supporters to help campaign for the passing of the half-cent sales tax.

asked for the vote to be delayed until the next general election. County Council Deb Denys asked council members to raise their hands if they had served on a transportation board for more than one year. When Post raised her hand, Denys said being an alternate didn’t count. Denys illustrated the dwindling funding for infrastructure with the Turnbull Bay Bridge project in New Smyrna Beach, saying the cost of the project went up as it went along. She showed a slide from a Florida Department of Transportation stating bills passed by the Legislature in 2018 reduced infrastructure revenue by $71.2 million. “If you think you’re going to find another funding source, you haven’t been to a transportation planning meeting at all,” Denys said.

City won’t expand Food truck discussion tabled medical pot zoning Aside from communitywide special events and breweries, food trucks are not permitted in Ormond.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Medical marijuana dispensary VidaCann opened in Holly Hill last summer.

of caution,” Planning Board Chair Doug Thomas said. Thomas said if the city kept its options limited, it would protect Ormond down the road should recreational marijuana be legalized in the state. Ormond Beach resident Joe Hannoush, who ran for Florida House District 25 in the past election, said he believed the city should open the zoning for medical marijuana dispensaries. Planning Board member Lori Tolland said dispensaries have opened in Holly Hill and Daytona Beach, and they deliver. Hounnoush said not everyone can afford delivery. City Commissioner Dwight Selby said that he hasn’t had a resident talk to him over lack of access to medical marijuana, or a dispensary talk to him about lack of locations. He said the city may be trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. “We’re fine just the way we are,” Selby said.

Whether Ormond Beach will grant food trucks a designated zone to operate in is yet to be determined. No action on the topic was taken following a brief City Commission and Planning Board joint workshop discussion on Tuesday, Feb. The conversation was first brought up in August 2018, when Ormond Brewing Company sought out a land development code amendment to allow food trucks at breweries in town. The City Commission approved the amendment in October 2018, meaning food trucks were now permitted in two settings: Community-wide special permitted events and breweries. City staff outlined several possibilities to expand the food truck use the city, including allowing them in the light industrial I-1 zoning district, construction sites and larger employment centers, allowing on private property as an accessory use under certain conditions, and letting private property owners to have food trucks four times a year for 14 days as part of a special event permit. While most of the City Commission and Planning Board expressed wanting to allow food

trucks on a wider scale in the city, there was no consensus as to how to implement this. City Commissioner Troy Kent said he wasn’t ready to allow food trucks to operate in a district, and that he believed they should be handles on a case by case basis, like Ormond Brewing Company. “If there was a restaurant anywhere near that brewery, I would have been a ‘no’ vote on it,” said Kent, who voted for the amendment last year. “But there wasn’t.” He said he couldn’t help but think about how food trucks could impact restaurants in the city, something Planning Board member Mike Scudiero also brought up. Scudiero called food trucks “an edible form of itinerant vending,” and said Ormond should be careful with that because other cities have struggled with itiner-

ant vending. “It’s not an easy call because you’ve got constituents that love them,” Scudiero said. “I patronize them too, I get it.” Planning Board member Al Jorczak said economics dictate where a food truck stays and goes in a city, and that’s what will have the most impact, regardless of what zones they’re permitted in. He asked that the city get feedback from the food truck vendors before making a decision. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said staff will take their feedback, generate new policies based on that and bring back the food truck issue for another workshop in two to three months.

Medical marijuana dispensaries will not be allowed to open beyond the pharmaceutical zoning district in Ormond Beach — at least for the time being. In a joint workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 5, the City Commission and Planning Board decided to wait and see what happens at the legislative session. Gov. Ron DeSantis has asked the Legislature to allow medical marijuana to be smoked. Currently, medical marijuana dispensaries are confined to open in the small professional/office B-1 district, like other nonretail pharmacies. Planning Director Steven Spraker said there are about 150 acres of land in the B-1 zoning district, but that not all of that is available. In March 2018, the Planning Board explored expanding the zoning districts in which a medical marijuana dispensary could operate in Ormond, fueled by an interested provider who said it could not find an available location in the city. Discussion of adding a pharmaceutical use to the B-8 commercial, B-9 boulevard and B-10 suburban boulevard zoning districts ensued, and the Planning Board recommended expanding it to B-9 and B-10. However, now a year later, some Planning Board members had a change of heart. “I would rather err on the side

What does tai chi have to do with performing music? Observer ORMOND BEACH

“Music and movement are not just good for the soul, they are good for physical health.”

Eastern solutions: Workshops offer guide to optimal performance WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Clearing the mind, releasing tension and focusing on the job at hand. These are important principles for pianist Rose Grace, and she believes they can help others in all facets of life. She learned them when she used ancient oriental practices to recover from serious health issues, and they now play a role in her musical performances and teaching. She is bringing these techniques to the community in the Music and Medicine Symposium set for Feb. 15-16 at the Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center. Leading the workshops will be clinicians David Kaplan, M.D., a violin player, and Stephanie Mayer-Sattin, music educator, both of Washington, D.C. The public is invited to this free, two-day event and people may attend any part or all of the workshops, which utilize tai chi and qigong, a system of body movement, with a goal to achieve an optimal state of wellness and performance for medical practitioners, mental health providers, physical therapists, sports medicine professionals, athletes, performing artists, or anyone seeking to meet the challenges of a fast-paced world. As associate professor of music at Bethune-Cookman University, Grace, of Ormond Beach, said improvement in mind-body balance utilizes the principle of neuroplasticity, which refers to recent studies showing that the brain can adapt and change throughout a person’s life. At 2 p.m. on the second day, a research study will be available for groups of musicians, athletes, etc.

Pianist Rose Grace came back from illness using techniques for mindbody balance.

BACK TO LIFE

Six years ago, Grace had a lung infection. Due to a misdiagnosis, she said, she had large amounts of medication. “I could hardly stand up,” she said. “And I had to teach. I had concerts.” Her path to getting off the medication and back to normal included tai chi and qigong, and she once again could play the piano. “It was meditative,” she said. “I felt my breathing and cognitive sense was back to normal.” She became fascinated by the power of Eastern philosophy in combination with music. She started attending conferences, and it was a serendipitous moment when she saw Kaplan and Mayer-Sattin leading programs on music and medicine. “These are people I had been searching for,” she said. “It was like it was meant to happen.” She talked to them about expanding the program beyond music to daily life, and that will be the theme of the upcoming symposium.

“I thing everyone will get a lot out of the workshops,” she said. “It will be life changing.” Grace still practices qigong, and it helps her get into the zone for musical performances. She becomes more aware of her body movements. “The breathing helps you clear and focus you mind and bring it in tune with your body,” she said. For her students, she encourages visualization techniques, such as playing a piece with the lid closed, just going through the motions while hearing the music in the head. For a performance,

Also helping to plan the symposium is Diana Lee, M.D., director of the Odessa Chambliss Center for Health Equity, which implements health programs at B-CU and the community. “This is something close to my heart,” Lee said. “Music and movement are not just good for the soul, they are good for physical health.” She said the Asian techniques of tai chi, etc., have been practiced for centuries, and holistic health has been growing in recent years. It’s beneficial if people can avoid medications, she said. “We know people who practice tai chi have a longer life span and feel better,” she said. “Come enjoy the event and feel happier and healthier,” she said.

All you have to do to keep the designation is have a tree board, have a tree ordinance and have Arbor Day once a year. You are allowed to cut down every tree in the city and still keep the designation. It is not about the trees, it’s about the Arbor Day festival gathering. — Tim Scheiber

“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

WHY TREE CITY? Dear Editor: When I read this article in the Jan 31, 2019, issue, I wondered this about CANDO 2: If the clear cutting for Granada Pointe was such a disaster for our city’s trees as CANDO 2 folks were advocating, how in the world did the city of Ormond Beach win another Tree City USA Growth Award? What do CANDO 2 folks feel about this award? Will some say the judging committee was bought off by developers? Hmmm ... Just wondering.

I have lost all respect for the Arbor Day Foundation. — Dawn Chase Like the Ormond Beach Observer’s Facebook page and let your voice be heard. Also, send letters to the editor at editor@ ormondbeachobserver.com.

WHINE AND DINE 11:19 p.m. — 300 block of West Granada Boulevard DUI. Police arrested a 47-year-old Daytona Beach woman, who, during field sobriety exercises, outed herself by saying, “You realize most people don’t have balance like this when they are sober?” The woman was about to start an exercise requiring her to stand on one leg. The woman was initially stopped by police after she was seen driving through a parking lot at a high speed, cutting through all travel lanes and parking sections. According to the arrest report, officers smelled alcohol as she spoke. They also reported that her eyes appeared “glossy.” It wasn’t only the one-legged stand exercise the woman complained about. When asked to follow the tip of the officer’s pen with her eyes during another exercise, police report she became frustrated and said, “I can’t move my eyes that far.” She later told police she had drunk three shots of sake earlier that night. She was taken to jail.

“We’re one step closer

SPORTS EDITOR

eabreeze boys soccer player Connor Rioux broke his ankle right before the end of the first half of the Class 3A state championship game last season. He wasn’t on the field when the Sandcrabs went to overtime with American Heritage. He could only watch as the Patriots scored with 4 seconds left to win the title. Returning to the state championship game has been at the forefront of his mind since that moment. “I just have to get back there,” Rioux said after the Sandcrabs’ 2-0 win over Taylor in the District 6-3A championship on the night of Friday, Feb. 1, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. “I’m going to go 120% until we get back.” The Sandcrabs scored early against Taylor. Dillon Vollinger pounced on a ball that was bouncing along the front of the goal nearly 5 minutes into the first half. The Sandcrabs struggled to get scoring opportunities for the remainder of the game. “I love playing Taylor, but I also hate playing them,” Seabreeze’s first-year head coach Eli Freidus joked. “They always play us tough. They’re a good team.” Rioux put the game away with a goal with 7:35 left to play in the game. Freidus called it “one of the best plays of the year.” He played the ball perfectly between a pair of Taylor defenders. The ball found the upper left corner of the net.

Seabreeze goalie scoops up a ball against Taylor.

“I had to put it in the goal,” he said. “We needed to finish this game.” Teams don’t need to win the district in order to win the state championship. The Sandcrabs won the title in 2016 after losing in the district title match. But a district champion means a home-field advantage during regionals. The Sandcrabs will most likely face Taylor once again in the regional semifinal — if both teams win their regional openers. “We’re one step closer to our goal,” Freidus said. “Now it’s really business time. If you lose, you go home.” Vo l l i n ge r added: “We’ve got to win that trophy. It’s ours.”

Sandcrabs coach pleased with progress after Flagler Rotary wrestling tournament Seabreeze placed 17th out of 25 teams. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Seabreeze wrestling’s Mike Fries has had some challenges in his first season as the head coach of the team. Of all the kids who returned to the team this year, none had a winning record from the previous year. That’s since changed. Three Sandcrabs now have at least 20 wins on the season: Victory Lispey has a 22-6 record, Brock Roberts is 27-10 and Devin Stickney is 24-10. The Sandcrabs, which won the Ray Hollingsworth Tournament on Jan. 26, competed in the 33rdannual Flagler Rotary wrestling tournament on Feb. 1-2 at Flagler Palm Coast High School. The Sandcrabs placed 17th out of 25 teams. Fries said his team did well — considering their lack of experience. “I knew it would be a little bit of a challenge,” he said. “The kids have really exceeded all my expectations for this season. They’re stepping up, working hard to meet all of their goals.”

YOUR NEIGHBORS ‘Our Miracle’ Ormond Beach family tells story of premature son’s birth

Ashley Cornelius with Scotty shortly after he was born in 2016.

baby. Can I just go?’” he recalled. “And they’re like, ‘Go! Go!’” When he got to Ashley Cornelius’ floor, he was embraced and congratulated by his parents and in-laws. Confused, he asked to see the baby and his wife. A nurse brought him to the end of a hallway. To the left was his baby, she told him, and to the right was wife. Neither of whom he was allowed to see at that moment. He spent the next 20 minutes sitting in the hallway with his head in his hands wondering what was going on.

IF YOU GO ... Scott, Scotty and Ashley Cornelius in front of the Tomoka Outpost.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

rmond Beach resident Ashley Cornelius was exactly 28 weeks pregnant when her water broke. It was a Monday — Sept. 12, 2016. Her baby stopped moving, and the thought of losing him when she was less than three months away from her due date terrified her. She and her husband, Scott, rushed to Halifax Health, and that sparked what would become an eventful 48 hours for the family. “It was scary,” Ashley Cornelius recalled. “There was a lot of emotions and thoughts and just everything. It was a whirlwind of a day.” As she was being admitted, she felt her son move, and felt relief. Then, doctors told her that there were two possibilities: Her son might be born any second, or she might have to stay in the hospital until she was 34 weeks along. Either way, her son was going to be born premature. The couple felt overwhelmed. The Corneliuses had just opened the Tomoka Outpost inside Tomoka State Park, and they still had a long way to go in preparing for a new baby. Ashley Cornelius hadn’t even had her baby shower yet. She hadn’t had an easy pregnancy, either. Ashley Cornelius was considered to be high-risk because of two prior miscarriages and was monitored very closely throughout her pregnancy. “Every time we went to the doctor’s, we weren’t expecting bad news, but we had the thought in our mind, ‘Is this going to be No.

3?’” Scott Cornelius said. He stayed with her that night in the hospital, but he had to leave in the morning to go to work. Her parents came in to keep her company, and nothing much had changed with her baby. He was doing fine, and his heart rate was up. Until it wasn’t. Her son’s heart rate dropped in the afternoon. She recalled the way doctors and nurses rushed into the room, prepping her for an emergency cesarean section on the way to the operating room. “There was no wasting time here,” Ashley Cornelius recalled. “It needed to be done right away.” ‘IN SLOW MOTION’

When Scott Cornelius got the call on that his wife was in labor, he was inside the Tomoka Outpost. He quickly locked up, took his dogs home and raced to the hospital. “It felt like my life was in slow motion,” he said. “It would be like standing on stage in front of a million people for the first time ever, where you probably feel like you’re not where you are right now.” His only thought was that he needed to get to the hospital as fast as he could. So he flagged down a police officer after turning left on Clyde Morris Boulevard from Granada Boulevard. He doesn’t remember what agency the officer belonged to, but he definitely remembers what the officer did for him. Scott Cornelius motioned to the officer to roll down his window, and informed him his wife was in labor and that he needed help getting to the hospital. “And he looks at me like he

thought she was in the car with me, having the baby,” Scott Cornelius said. “He thought he was going to have to deliver a baby.” After clarifying, the police officer told him to follow him, and that he’d be OK. They zigzagged through traffic until the officer turned on Dunn Avenue, and Scott Cornelius continued on to Halifax Health. “It was one of the neatest things ever,” he said. “I felt like I was in a movie.” He parked his car and ran up the main entrance to the hospital. He remembered the way the security officers looked at him then. “I’m like, ‘My wife is having a

MEETING SCOTTY

It took 45 seconds for Scott Cornelius Jr. to be born on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2016. He weighed 2 pounds and 4 ounces. “After he was born, that night I recall Scott and I both sitting there staring at the wall,” Ashley Cornelius said. “Like, ‘What just happened?’” They had been able to see their son, whom they call Scotty, that first day in the neonatal intensive care unit. All they could do was hold his hand. “It barely wrapped around my fingertip,” Scott Cornelius said. Scotty would spend the next nine weeks in the NICU. Every milestone thereafter was a cause for celebration — from the first time they were able to hold him, to his first smile. It’s hard to have a baby in the NICU, Ashley Cornelius said, but having the nurses help you is like having parental personal trainers. “You deal with a lot of emotions,” Ashley Cornelius said. “You learn a lot. You have this whole new respect for nurses and doctors.” Since Scotty’s birth, the Corneliuses have learned more than they ever imagined about premature birth. They have since gotten involved with March of Dimes, a national nonprofit that raises awareness of and funds research about premature birth. They now serve as the organization’s ambassador family for the Daytona Beach walk. They want families who are going through similar circumstances to know they’re not alone. Scotty is now 2. He loves being outside and is described as one of the “happiest little boys you’ll ever meet” by his parents. Scott Cornelius said he’s a pinball. “I’ve always said that he knows he’s lucky,” Ashley Cornelius said. “He knows he’s a miracle.”

Others have only been there for a couple of weeks, and some only drop by occasionally to pick up yarn or drop off a completed quilt. Ellen Krokel has been regularly attending the society’s meetings for 10 years. She’s been knitting for almost 60. Her favorite thing about the meeting is the socializing. The ladies often trade stories of their youth, from working in the New York Fashion District

to stowing away on a ship from Russia. “If you’re home and you’re knitting and crocheting, you’re still alone,” Krokel said. “It’s a way to find out new things, learn something new, help one another with something.” The meetings were originally part of a class, recalled Kathy Astrella, who’s been coming to the meetings for 16 years. When the instructor died, the women continued to meet. Astrella started attending after she retired because she wanted to learn how to make a doily, like her mom used to make. She joined the society seeking help, and she’s never left. Kitty Boch joined around the same time, needing help with understanding patterns, as she had recently moved to the U.S.

from Germany. Boch jokingly refered to her and Astrella as the historians of the society. “Our lives are just entwined since,” Astrella said, “one way or the other.” Aside from their own personal projects, the group regularly donates quilts and knitted clothing to organizations such as the Pregnancy Crisis Center, Halifax

Urban Ministries, the Ormond Beach Police Department and to homeless and disabled veterans. They’re a mixed bag of talents, Krokel said. There are times where she’ll start a knitting pattern and hand it off to another member to finish or add on to. “A lot of our donations are a bit of everybody,” she said.

a SPLASH of color

Artists, vendors and musicians gathered for the fifth-annual Granada Grand Festival of the Arts. On a beautiful day in the heart of Ormond Beach, art lovers flocked to the fifth-annual Granada Grand Festival of the Arts, an all-day celebration of art and music. The event was sponsored by, Ormond MainStreet and the Ormond Arts District. The mission of these groups is to make downtown Ormond Beach a premier destination. The vendors consisted of over 70 local artists and some artists who traveled great distances. There was a live community art project in which guests could show their creative side, as well as other demonstrations. Local jazz bands, dance groups and acoustic performers took the stage. The kid zone kept the smallest art fans happy. A German geer garden and a row of gourmet food trucks made the day a success. — TANYA KAYS

Dennis Burns remembered for his dedication, leadership The United Way leader served since 2015. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Dennis Burns, president and CEO of the United Way of VolusiaFlagler Counties, died last weekend in Ormond Beach, where he resided. “The entire UWVFC team mourns this loss and extends our deepest sympathies to his family,” Courtney Edgcomb, vice president, said in an email. “It was always the aspiration of Dennis to lead a local United Way.” Burns is survived by his wife, Mary, and their three children.

Ormond Beach City Manager Joyce Shanahan, a United Way board member, said she is deeply saddened by his passing and knows he will be missed by all who knew him. “Dennis was tirelessly dedicated to the mission of the United way and to our community,” she said. “His guidance and direction was immeasurable in transitioning our United Way to the Community Impact Model focusing on education, health and financial stability with measurable goals. Dennis was committed to service above self in all he did.”

Edgcomb credits him with increasing the community’s engagement with United Way. “Dennis was an incredible leader that cared deeply for his local community,” she said. “He believed in the mission of United Way and in seeing a more prosperous life for all.” Burns led the local United Way since Nov. 2, 2015, replacing Ray Salazar. John Walsh, Ormond Beach Observer publisher, was on the selection committee. “Burns was a perfect fit for the Volusia-Flagler United Way because he brought years of experience gained while he worked his way up to a leadership role

at another, larger, United Way Chapter,” Walsh said. “Hiring Dennis Burns as the executive director was a unanimous vote of the committee members.” Edgcomb said Burns was very grateful to the Volusia-Flagler community for their expression of confidence in him. “He was an amazing leader, an advocate for this community and supporter of the United Way mission,” she said. Burns grew up in Hornell, New York, and graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in communications. After working for the Orlando Sentinel, he worked for the Heart of Florida

From 1996 to 1999, Fries starred as a wrestler at FPC under the tough but encouraging direction of Coach Steve DeAugustino. After winning second place at the state competition his first two years, he earned two back-toback state championships to close out his junior and senior years. Fries went back to school at Daytona State College and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Exceptional Student Education in 2016. When he started teaching special education at Seabreeze, he didn’t think he would be coaching at all. When Seabreeze Principal Rawlings asked him to be the girls flag football head coach, Fries said he was a nervous. “I had never coached girls before, never was the head coach of anything before and never really coached flag football,” he said. “But it really turned out to be one of my favorite things to do.” His relationships with the JV and varsity teams at Seabreeze are simple. During practice, laughs are thrown into the mix, but when game time comes, it’s all business. “I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them,” Fries said. “If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake. But they understand I’m doing it out of love.” In his classroom, a handwritten note on an index card is pinned up on his bulletin board. It reads “Thanks for the tough love” and is complete with a drawing of a flexing emoji arm muscle and a heart. Fries’ star quarterback, Bailey McQuarrie, who wrote the note, stuns him with her talent, even being only a sophomore. “I’ve loved having him as a coach for two years,” McQuarrie said. “He’s been one of the

best coaches I’ve had since he’s really tough on us. He doesn’t let anything just slide. He gets on us about everything, which makes our playing a lot better.” The team’s flag football game on Tuesday, March 20, was cancelled due to impending inclement weather, but while Fries sat in his classroom before the school day was over, he said he bet at least two of his players — McQuarrie and Grace Remey — would be out on the field, practicing for themselves during seventh period. Remey postponed graduation to play another year of flag football with the Sandcrabs. Sure enough, the pair and sophomore Kara Haas were spotted on the field throwing a football around until the thunder rang too loud and pushed them inside. “He makes it fun, but we’re still learning everything that we need to learn,” McQuarrie said about practices. “And then at game time, there’s no laughing on the sidelines or anything. We’re serious.” Fries said the Varsity Sandcrabs have set high standards this year, scoring 73 points total for the two regular season games so far, while also keeping the opposing teams from scoring any points. “I love coaching girls,” he said. “They learn so quick. They push themselves so hard. They kind of adapt to my personality and want to go out there and succeed in everything that we do.” Last season, the Sandcrabs ended 8-2. While Fries is optimistic about this season, he’s keeping his girls level-headed — with their game faces at the ready.

“I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them. If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake. But they understand I’m doing it out of love.”

Grace Lucille (Winge) Lippert died on March 13, 2018 at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, North Dakota surrounded by her loving family. Grace was born on April 15, 1932 atTrinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota, the fourth child of Albert Nicolai and Mabel Caroline (Gregerson) Winge. She grew up on the farm that was homesteaded by her father in 1913 in Van Hook, North Dakota where she did her fair share of chores in the barn with her father and chores in the house with her mother. She attended Van Hook Public School and graduated in 1950. During the winter months she was transported to school by horse and sleigh with her father at the reins, keeping her feet warm with bricks taken from the cookstove. She enjoyed Glee Club during her school years. After graduating from high school she entered the school of nursing at Trinity Hospital in Minot. She worked for a short period of time in the hospital in Rugby, North Dakota. In the fall of 1951 she entered Minot State Teachers College, now known as Minot State University, where she studied to become an elementary school teacher. On July 29, 1953 she graduated with her standard diploma in elementary education. 1953 was a very significant year for the entire Winge family as their farm was taken by right of eminent domain to accommodate Lake Sakakawea, the lake that would be formed by the building of the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. The family moved to a farm in Litchville, North Dakota where Grace taught 3rd and 4th grade in the Litchville Public School for two years, 1953 - 1954 and 1954 - 1955. After two years in Litchville she accepted an offer to teach 3rd grade at Washington School in Fargo, North Dakota which involved a significant pay increase, from $2,500 per year in Litchville to $4,300 per year in Fargo. She taught in Fargo for three school years, 1955-1956, 1956-1957 and 1957-1958. During her years in Fargo she shared an apartment with her younger brother Royce who was studying at North Dakota State University, watching out for him as a big sister often would. She enjoyed her time teaching, guiding children and developing their minds. She also enjoyed the colleagues with whom she worked. While in Fargo she experienced more life changing events. Her mother died very suddenly of a massive cerebral hemorrhage on July 18, 1956. Grace also met the man who would become her husband, Wilbur Eugene Lippert. He was a student at North Dakota Agricultural College, now North Dakota State University. He graduated in 1957, they got engaged and he accepted a job offer in Chicago, Illinois. Grace, always being the cautious one, suggested he try the job for a year before they got married. Grace continued to teach in Fargo and Wilbur began his career in Chicago. On a very hot June 28, 1958 Grace and Wilbur were married at First Lutheran Church in Litchville, ND.

Wilbur and Grace honeymooned in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada before establishing their home in Elmhurst, Illinois where Grace taught reading to students in elementary schools in Lombard, Illinois during the 1958-1959 school year. She then switched careers, becoming a mother to Muriel Jean on February 10, 1960 and Nancy Ann on July 31, 1962. She loved being a mother and was a very loving and devoted mother, always cheering on her girls.The Lippert family became lifelong fans of Roberto’s Pizza in Elmhurst, Illinois as a result of Grace’s work as a cashier at Roberto’s from 1963 - 1967.

Proudly Welcomes

Grace returned to her first love, medicine, and began a 30-year career when she started working as an aide in the surgery department at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois in 1967. In 1970 she completed classes and passed her national certification exam to be a Certified Surgical Technologist. As she studied, her children also learned many medical terms. In 1990, she completed certification in Sterile Processing and helped set up the new Sterile Processing unit at the hospital. She moved to the Endoscopy Unit in 1992 from which she retired in 1997 completing 30 years of service.

the community, but also to help celebrate the

As the years went on she welcomed 5 grandchildren with great joy and spent much time with them after retirement. Whether visiting Emma and Eric in North Dakota or Lauren, Alex and Maureen in Florida or them visiting she and Grandpa in Elmhurst, every moment spent with them was a treasure to her. She was delighted to become a great grandmother on May 8, 2017. In the late 1990s they were able to purchase a second home in Palm Coast, Florida and have enjoyed spending time there in the winter, being close to Nancy and her family and making new friends. Grace frequently checked on her neighbors at Kings Colony, whether she was in Florida or back in Elmhurst. They considered her a blessing.

Flagler Matters.

Grace and Wilbur have both been grounded in their faith in God, being active members of Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elmhurst, IL their entire married life. They both have a deep sense of call to serve others. They have often welcomed others to live in their home with them and have worked for the benefit of others in many and various ways their whole lives. Whether it be driving someone to a dentist appointment or the grocery store or serving up some coffee and cookies or banana bread along with a listening ear, they have both always had a heart that cares about others. Jesus said “I came not to be served, but to serve” and they have followed Jesus’ example. Grace is survived by her loving husband of almost 60 years: Wilbur Lippert; two daughters and their families: The Rev. Muriel J. Lippert of Williston, ND and her children - Emma Bernice (Michael) Berg of Wilton, ND and Eric Paul Schauer of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Nancy (John) Walsh and their children - Lauren Aileen (Byron) Lewis of West Melbourne, Florida, Alexander James Walsh & Fiancée Christine Ghlain of Atlanta, Georgia, Maureen Grace Walsh of Palm Coast, Florida and one great granddaughter - Harper Aileen Lewis. Two brothers: Ralph (Jane) Winge of Valley City, ND and Royce Winge of Ames, Iowa. Nephews: Vernon Winge, Alan Winge. Nieces: Carol Winge, Joyce Winge, Julia Winge
