Murder-suicide The Volusia County Sheriff's Office is investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide in a home near Ormond-by-the-Sea. Gail Ann Still, 57, and Ronald Alan Still Sr., 59, both died Feb. 12. Deputies received a call around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday to 26 Seabridge Drive after the couple's daughter received a text message from her father indicating he and his wife were dead. Upon arrival, deputies discovered both parties deceased inside the house. The initial investigation suggests Mr. Still killed his wife, then himself. "This is the type of tragedy you fear when you respond to a potential domestic violence situation," Sheriff Mike Chitwood said. "My heart goes out to the family and friends who are left to deal with their loss."

PARAMOUNT CLAIMED $66 MILLION

LLC via an assignment of benefits contract. This relinquished all of the condominium’s rights to Paramount, which was put in charge of handling the insurance claim. In November 2017, as residents dealt with air scrubbers and barricades and put up signs on their doors to keep Paramount out of their units, a new board was put in place, and Cutter became president. About 60 days later, the board hired attorney Michael Ciocchetti to help them with the condominium’s claim. It took almost a year and a “hard, hard fought” legal battle, said Cutter, but Ormond Heritage is finally closing its Hurricane Matthew chapter.

Ormond Heritage Condominium moves on from Hurricane Matthew JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

The residents of the Ormond Heritage Condominiums popped bottles of champagne on Jan. 10 — 27 months after Hurricane Matthew — in celebration of its $2.5 million claim settlement. Board President Jerry Cutter bought 12 magnums and a large cake for the 100 homeowners who

attended the 15-minute meeting held in the condominium’s ballroom, the same place they were all told in 2017 that mold had been found in the building and all homeowners needed to evacuate. “Life isn’t getting back; it is back to normal,” Cutter said. After Hurricane Matthew, the previous board signed away the condominium’s claim to Paramount Disaster Recovery

Ormond Heritage settled its claim in the litigation between Ariel and Paramount on Dec. 6, 2018. It was a happy day, not only for the residents, but for Ciocchetti. His son was born. The mood in the condominiums has also changed drastically. The current board, which was re-elected in November 2018, is now working on restoring the Ormond Heritage. Previously closed-off rooms like the library, billiards and card rooms have been re-opened, and the board is working on renovating some common areas. Every week, Cutter said real estate agents call them asking what they have for sale and rent. “The morale has been miraculous,” Cutter said. “The change in the attitudes — we had despair, we had people fighting amongst themselves. ... And in the 12 months we restored people’s confidence and trust.” Email Jarleene Almenas at jarleene@ormondbeachobserver. com.

The stars aligned for Ormond Heritage. The condominium’s insurance carrier, Ariel Syndicate 1910, filed suit against Paramount in federal court over Paramount’s $66 million claim for Ormond Heritage. Ciocchetti said Ariel defended its lawsuit on the basis that there was no hurricane-related damage, and that any damage was pre-existing. It also asserted that Paramount’s $66 million claim was fraudulent. If Ariel had won the lawsuit on that defense, Ormond Heritage would not have received any money for its claim. “The only way for us to counteract that was to intervene in federal court in the action between Ariel and Paramount,” Ciocchetti said. Ciocchetti said intervening was the quickest and most efficient way to resolution, as well as a way to protect Ormond Heritage’s interest in the litigation. “Certainly, it’s the board’s position that there was some damage to the property as a result of Hurricane Matthew,” Ciocchetti said. “The disagreement there is the extent of the damage.” Paramount had claimed that all of the roof systems in the condominium were damaged, all exterior walls needed to be stripped and that there was mold in the wall cavity between the drywall and the exterior walls. Ariel, having conducted an investigation where its experts and engineer’s reports differed from Paramount’s findings, disagreed with the claim. So did Ormond Heritage. Ciocchetti said the condominium presented about 20 unit owners during litigation who got their own experts — some homeown-

ers got a second opinion as well — and found no mold in their units. Paramount also shouldn’t have claimed the roof, Ciocchetti said, as the flat roof is warranted by the roofing company for up to 140 mph winds. If it had been damaged by Hurricane Matthew, the repairs would have been directed back to the roofing company. The $2.5 million settlement given to Ormond Heritage as a result of the litigation was for repairing and replacing the tiles surrounding the flat roof, repairing the outside wall scarring, and repainting and sealing the building.

DECISIONS DECISIONS T

he City Commission will face three decisions at upcoming meetings that will affect the downtown district, consisting of Granada Boulevard and a few blocks north and south. Salty Church, at Bovard Avenue and Vining Court, is seeking to add a building to allow for future growth, bringing more people to BEACHSIDE PARKING Salty Church seeks approval to build a 6,457-square-foot assembly hall to the west of the present building and expand the parking to the west of the buildings. New landscaping would be included, and some parking would be on grass to retain pervious surfaces. At the Planning Board meeting on Feb. 7, parking issues dominated the conversation but ultimately the board unanimously voted to recommend that the commission approve the project. The city would require 121 parking spaces if the new building is constructed and the site plan shows 98 spaces. But through an agreement, the church can utilize 47 spaces at the 200 East building across Coquina Avenue, and there are 11 at the old firehouse on West Granada Boulevard, which the church now owns, according to the meeting agenda. The nearby public parking along Coquina Court and Vining Court was not calculated in the required parking, but it’s available to anyone, including church attendees. “I foresee that being used,” said board member Harold

Highlander Corp., owned by developer Bill Jones, seeks to have a neon, animated sign at a planned Japanese restaurant that would be located in the building at 26 N. Beach St., Suite B. The ordinance would only allow neon, and not a television picture. The signs could be animated, but no wording would be allowed. “Downtown is becoming more vibrant,” said Dorian Burt, Jones’ representative. The example showed at the meeting was a drawing of a puffer fish increasing in size in three stages and then decreasing. City Attorney Randy Hayes cautioned the Planning Board that they would be amending the sign ordinance, which must be content-neutral. Once they approve a neon sign for the location, they cannot control what images appear on the sign. The Planning Board recommended the City Commission approve the request, with any future neon signs being a special exception, meaning they would each need approval by the City Commission. There was no word about when a Japanese restaurant would be constructed at the site. Also coming to the City Commission will be a request by Ormond MainStreet to allow murals on buildings. The program would be administered by Ormond MainStreet and each mural would be approved by the Arts District board and then the City Commission. Hayes said the murals would be art and not signage, so the city would have control over the content. The Planning Board members agreed that enough safeguards were in place with the approval process and voted unanimously to recommend approval by the City Commission. “I think they will add an eclectic, fun element,” said board member Lori Tolland.

Briley. He said he imagines that Lulu’s Oceanside Grille also uses the street parking. Planning Director Steven Spraker responded that Lulu’s customers probably also use nearby businesses such as CVS pharmacy. He said the city would rather have businesses share parking than to build a lot that’s only used at certain times. “That area has not demonstrated a need for a parking lot,” Spraker said. Board member G.G. Galloway asked if shared parking could be saturated, and Spraker responded that each new project is approved based on the current parking situation. A tour of the area after the meeting showed that CVS does not have no-parking signs, but other businesses on the block have “Tow-Away Zone” signs.

Costs soar for recycling

NEON SIGNS AND MURALS

The sign at the church says, “Salty Church Parking Only.” The current parking area for Salty Church was a privatelyowned, paid-parking lot for people going to the beach or nearby businesses until 2014, when the church bought the lot. The church currently has a service on Thursday and Friday, and three services on Sunday, with about 300 attending the 9 a.m. service, 350 at 10 a.m. and 200 at noon, according to church representives. The seating capacity of the new addition is estimated at 670 people. According to the meeting agenda material, the church also has 70 other spaces through parking agreements with other businesses in the area that are not listed on the application for the special exception.

CLANG WENT THE TROLLEY During the public comment session, Linda Williams, who lives on Bosarvey Drive, said she hopes city officials can keep the increased traffic out of the neighborhoods, because people are cutting through to avoid Granada Boulevard. She also suggested trollies be utilized. A trolley traveling back and forth across the Granada Bridge would allow pedestrian access to the area and also allow them to get across Granada Boulevard. There are shops and restaurants on both sides of the busy thoroughfare. “I’m hoping for a more walkable community,” Williams said.

Volusia County is looking into educating residents on what can be recycled as the cost of processing recyclables increases in a depressed market. The state of recycling in the county was discussed at the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting at the Daytona Beach International Airport on Monday, Feb. 11. Recently, municipalities have taken different approaches to deal with the increase of $77.50 per ton processing fee for all recyclables: The city of New Smyrna Beach decided to bear the added cost for its residents, Ormond Beach cut glass recycling, and Deltona suspended the entire service. Jaqueline Kerr, financial controller of recycling company GEL Corp., said that the China bans on mixed plastic and paper don’t mean that recycling is over. China has impacted the market price, she said, increasing commodities in the U.S. and dropping the price. Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington mentioned the city’s 93% recycling rate, saying that the residents were willing to pay more to continue the service. At the City Commission meeting on Feb. 5, the commission voted 4-1 to amend its contract with Waste Pro of Florida to eliminate glass and non-marketable plastic containers from its service. Because of the market, this increased the monthly residential recycling fee by $1.21 per home. Kerr said glass is a harder product to recycle because it’s brittle and difficult to handle if it breaks. The conversation is coming up now in cities because of the rise in processing fees. “People are making the decisions now because cities are having a share in the cost,” she said. In 2018, GEL Corp. recycled 17,000 tons of material coming from Port Orange, DeBary, DeLand, Deltona and unincorporated Volusia County. People still want to recycle, Kerr said. The state has a 75% aspirational recycling goal to reach by 2020. Partington said education was important, and that it would help for all the cities to update their websites with information on what is and isn’t recyclable. City Commissioner Dwight Selby spearheaded this effort at the last commission meeting, and the city had previously discussed generating educational material for it’s residents. “That’s going to be the key to making all the programs more successful,” Partington said.

CITY HALL: 22 S. Beach St. Ormond Beach, FL

Ormond Beach resident Kelly Harris came up with the idea for Conklin’s 40th-anniversary gala.

When Kelly Harris saw a job opening in the Conklin Center for the Blind, she knew this was the job for her — so much so that she picked up her life in New York City and moved down to Ormond Beach. “Everything about it just felt right to me,” Harris said, who is now the center’s new president and CEO. The Conklin Center, located in Daytona Beach, aims to help adults who are blind or visually impaired and have additional disabilities become independent through one-on-one residential and vocational training, and lifelong support services. It is the only facility of its kind in the U.S., according to Florida Agencies Serving the Blind, and has serviced over 500 individuals with an 85% success rate since it opened in 1979. From 2017 to 2018, it helped 100 adults through its supported living and employment trainings, placing 31 in work experiences and 11 into unsubsidized employment. The Conklin Center’s mission resonated with Harris. She was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma, the leading cause of blindness in children, at 5 months old. She’s had about five surgeries in her life because of it, and is thankful her parents brought her to a doctor in Washington, D.C., who she said was a pioneer in his field. “I was very fortunate that I had him,” Harris said. “You’d be hardpressed to meet an adult my age with congenital glaucoma who is sighted.” Before arriving at the Conklin Center, Harris worked in the White House within its Council on Environmental Quality, and then became part of the late U.S. Sen. Howard Metzenbaum’s staff. Harris moved to Los Angeles and worked in the HIV/AIDS issue, and then went back to New York City and helped raise awareness of childhood immunization and the measles epidemic. One of her first big endeavors at the Conklin Center was to plan for for its 40th-anniversary gala, to be held March 21. She wanted to do something meaningful, and a

connection through her son gave her an idea. Harris’ 20-year-old son studied piano performance and composition in Juilliard, and is now at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. She’s remained in contact with her son’s first piano teacher, Aldo Ragone, who is a classical pianist from Rome, Italy. When she heard about the center’s 40th-anniversary gala, she called him. Ragone answered, and asked her how she was doing in New York City. “I said, ‘I’m not in New York City, I’m in Daytona,’” Harris recalled. “Where’s Daytona?” Ragone asked her. “Daytona Beach,” she said. “Oh, with the palm trees and the race cars,” Ragone said. As soon as she explained the Conklin Center’s mission, and asked him to perform at the gala, Ragone told her he would be there. Despite her career experiences, Harris said she had to pay attention and learn a lot when she arrived at the Conklin Center in October 2018. She shadowed past President and CEO Robert Kelly for that month. Kelly had been with the Conklin Center for almost 30 years, 18 of which he worked as its president and CEO. That is almost unheard of in the nonprofit world, Harris said. But she quickly found out why Kelly, and a lot of the center’s staff, have dedicated their lives to the Conklin Center. “You come in and you’re just engaged with the mission,” Kelley said. “It’s like family with our students who are doing remarkable things.”

Smaller Margaritaville? Pros, cons What does it mean for Ormond Beach roads? WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Cassen Park pier on track to open in May FEMA money is expected to cover 75% of the construction cost. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

The city of Ormond Beach may soon finish one of its last hurricane repair projects: The contractor has until May 18 to reach substantial completition on the Cassen Park pier. Repairs to the pier were bid out last October and began in November. A $759,125 contract was awarded to Brothers Construction Inc., a company from Stuart that also repaired the fishing pier at the Dunlawton Bridge in Port Orange after Hurricane Irma. The hurricane damaged about 6,600 square feet of decking and framing at the Cassen Park pier, leaving only the pilings. FEMA money will cover 75% of the cost, and state grants another 12.5%. The remaining balance will

come from the city’s general fund. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said the new pilings — already installed, according to a city document — are significantly deeper than the original ones. The added depth is meant to give the pier more stability in future storms. “Many people walk that area on a regular basis and fish from that pier, so we’re delighted to be able to reconnect that pier to the other portions of the pier that were undamaged to complete that loop for walking and fishing,” she said. The project has been running smoothly, with framing 50% complete and decking 45% complete as of Feb. 8, according to a staff report. Shanahan said that construction ran into some coquina, but the project remains on track. The city continues to wait for $6 million in FEMA reimbursement for Hurricane Irma, though in April 2018, Shanahan said she wasn’t optimistic about receiving that money by April 2019.

Citing rising impact and transportation fees, Minto Communities has canceled phase 2 of Margaritaville, at least for now, but while the county will be missing property tax dollars, and the businesses in the booming LPGA/Williamson area will lose customers, at least some Ormond Beach residents are relieved. “It certainly alleviates future traffic and infrastructure concerns,” said former city commissioner Rick Boehm. Phase 2, with about 3,000 homes and 4,800 residents, would have had access to State Road 40 from South Tymber Creek Road. “We would have seen no benefit in property tax, with a lot of traffic congestion,” Boehm said, referring to the fact that all of Margaritaville is in Daytona Beach. Former mayor Ed Kelley, now Volusia County Council chairman, said the area was annexed from Ormond Beach into Daytona Beach about 18 years ago, and it was a terrible decision by the City Commission at the time. Kelley said he learned of a developer in later years that would have built houses there, if it could be annexed back into Ormond Beach, but he was not successful in drumming up interest in taking the area back into the city. It’s also possible that Ormond Beach would have to provide water

to the neighborhood, requiring the city to increase capacity, but final decisions on utilities have not been made. Boehm said he regretted Tymber Creek Road not being connected to LPGA Boulevard, which would have provided a bypass around Williamson Boulevard. That connection would have been made in phase 2. Brian Rademacher, Ormond Beach economic development director, said it’s hard to predict how much traffic would have travelled Granada Boulevard. Most affected would be businesses in the Tymber Creek and Interstate 95 area, he said. He pointed out that Margaritaville is designed to be inclusive, with nearby grocery and retail. But some of the residents could have been attracted by the locally-owned businesses in Ormond Beach, as opposed to the chain stores in the LPGA area, he said. “It would have been a good support for local businesses,” he said. Granada Boulevard would also provide a route to the beach, providing customers for businesses,

but more traffic for those getting around town. Phase 2 would also provide another housing option. Phase One has been successful in attracting buyers. Bill Bullock, president of Minto Communities, said originally the homes were to start at $225,000, but increases in the cost of material and labor pushed the price to $250,000. With the new impact and transportation fees, the price would rise beyond what Minto deems affordable in the area. Phase 2 would have started in six to eight years. “We love Daytona Beach,” Bullock said. “We will try to resolve the issues.” The land for phase 2 is owned by Consolidated Tomoka and would be purchased by Minto before development starts.

Dennis M. Burns MARCH 6, 1953 - FEBRUARY 3, 2019

Dennis Burns, 65, of Ormond Beach, President and Chief Executive Officer of the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, passed away Sunday February 3, 2019. It was always the aspiration of Dennis to lead a local United Way. He was the President/ CEO of the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties since November 2015 and his leadership was responsible for the implementation of the Community Impact model locally. Dennis grew up in Hornell, New York and was very proud of his small town beginnings. He attended Hornell High School and moved to the Central Florida community to attend the University of Central Florida. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. Dennis worked for the Orlando Sentinel before completing a stint as a Loaned Executive for the Heart of Florida United Way in Orlando, Fla. Following that time, he joined the Heart of Florida United Way full-time in Resource Development and began his 20+ year career with the team. In 2015, he joined the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties as the President/CEO and in addition to the successful implementation of Community Impact, he was also responsible for the increased advocacy of the ALICE population, and increasing the community’s engagement with United Way. Dennis was an incredible leader that cared deeply for his local community. He believed in the mission of United Way and in seeing a more prosperous life for all. Dennis was involved on many local boards and committees including: Flagler Cares, Commission on Homelessness for Volusia & Flagler Counties, One Voice for Volusia and VMA Education Committee. He was a member of the Daytona Beach Rotary and a graduate of Leadership Daytona. Dennis is survived by his wife of 41 years, Mary Burns, and their three children; Cameron Robert Burns, Carlyn (Ryan) Linker and Charisse (Adam) Bitner; sisters, Margaret Burns and Roberta (Farris) Riggsbee; brother, David Burns; grandchildren, Kelsey and Kyle Linker and Emma and Hailey Bitner and several nieces and nephews. His parents and brothers Eugene and Thomas Burns predeceased him. A celebration of life memorial service for Dennis was held Tuesday, February 12, 2019 at Tomoka Christian Church. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the United Way of Volusia/Flagler County at https://app.mobilecause.com/ public/campaignskeywords/32180/donations/new.

Sales tax a bad idea Dear Editor: Thank you, Heather Post, for being the sole member of the Volusia County Council to oppose the very bad idea of holding a special referendum, estimated to cost at least half a million dollars, to determine the future of an even worse idea, a half-cent sales tax. A half-cent doesn’t sound like much, but it is nearly an 8% increase to our existing sales taxes. Heather is right. The sales tax hurts everyone, especially those least able to afford it. I wish the council would spend more time on finding creative ways to reduce expenses. Like avoiding unnecessary special referendums. ALAN HOVEY Ormond Beach

Dear Editor: It is incomprehensible to me that much of our world is choking to death on our garbage, yet recycling efforts seem to be on the chopping block due to economic constraints. It is an essential flaw of our profit-driven economy that such necessary measures as keeping our planet livable for everyone must be shoved aside if pockets are insufficiently lined. Whatever happened to just doing the right and sensible thing? Considering the extent of the problem, cleaning up the mess we’ve created and preventing future damage is obviously an essential need. Dollars and nonsense, that’s what I call it. I might be a dinosaur, but I remember when glass containers

like milk bottles were sent back, sanitized and reused. What happened to that concept? I suspect that the political clout exercised by petroleum interests — those whose products are an integral part of all that plastic — had something to do with it. Then, there is our sue-happy society in which our valiant knights in armor tilting at the big, bad, alltoo-real windmills of the insurance companies (aka TV lawyers) exhort us to seek recompense at the drop of a hat — or a glass milk bottle. As that dinosaur, I recall an old Jack Benny routine in which the iconic comedian is confronted by a robber who demands, “Your money or your life.” After a long pause, the robber prods Benny, “Come on, come on.” Benny answers, “Wait a minute. I’m thinking about it.” Seems very fitting in this case. STEPHEN L. DOLL Ormond Beach

Calling all residents Dear Editor: At 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, there will be a City Commission meeting at City Hall. An item of primary concern is the vote regarding the proposed car wash for the Granada Pointe site. The Planning Board has voted it down, but the City Commission can still pass it. Do not let a committee of five approve of a matter that will negatively affect a major thoroughfare in our city for years to come. There is strength in numbers! Show your support along with your fellow neighbors. ED KOLASKA Ormond Beach

BRIEFS

COPS CORNER

Two men arrested in plot to rape Ormond Beach toddler Volusia County deputies arrested a 37-year-old man from unincorporated Ormond Beach after discovering he was involved in a plot to rape a 3-year-old girl. Lafe Best’s arrest stems from a related case in Ormond Beach involving 39-year-old Benjamin Worster, who was arrested by Ormond Beach Police in January on charges of lewd or lascivious molestation, lewd or lascivious conduct and 21 counts of possession of child pornography, VCSO reports. Worster, who is Best’s partner, had been allegedly planning to rape the 3-year-old girl, and he revealed detailed plans to do so in text messages he sent to Best. The girl and her mother had recently moved in with Worster at his apartment on Hand Avenue, and soon after, the girl told her mother that Worster had touched her, VCSO reports. The text messages on his phone were discovered on Dec. 17 when Worster was taken to the hospital after an apparent overdose, and the girl’s mother looked through his phone. The graphic texts exchanged between Best and Worster detail plans to “groom” the girl for rape, drugging her, as well as describe sexual acts they’d planned. One text from Worster to Best reads, “Might invest on some small spy cams for changing and bathtimes also.” Another reads, “the videos will show her that’s what girls her age are supposed to do.” A text from Best to Worster

Lafe Best and Benjamin Worster

reads,”I’d prefer awake if we can manage it without repercussions,” in response to Worster saying “knocked out or awake” made no difference to him. Worster told detectives the texts were “just foreplay” meant to work Best up before hooking up with him, according to Best’s arrest affidavit. Best was living in a home with two people and a 20-month-old child, VCSO reports. While it’s not believed that child is a victim of any abuse, the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are expected.

Man charged with mobile home arson Ormond Beach police arrested a 57-year-old man who reportedly set fire to his roommate’s mobile home, in which he was also currently living, in the 800 block of South Nova Road on Feb. 7. The victim told officers that Joseph Gerard has been “acting crazy” prior to the incident, and that he was banging items on the south side of the home. When she confronted him over the noise, he told her he was cleaning. The victim believes Gerard was upset with her because she didn’t want to be in an intimate relationship with him.

She told police that she then smelled gasoline coming from the south side of the trailer, and confronted Gerard about it. He allegedly responded with “I’ve had it.” Police report Gerard had threatened to burn down the home the day before. The victim contacted law enforcement and was on the phone with dispatch when Gerard demanded to know whom she was talking to. The victim told him it was a “friend,” and Gerard then ignited the fire with a purple lighter. The victim did not sustain any injuries. The mobile home was extensively damaged, police report. Gerard fled the scene, but was located by Volusia County deputies on LPGA Boulevard. Gerard was transported to the hospital due to medical complaints unrelated to his custody, police report, where he later said he couldn’t remember the incident. He said social interactions with the victim had “become problematic,” and caused excess stress and anxiety in his life. He told officers he “probably” poured the gasoline in the trailer and ignited the fire, though not in attempt to hurt the victim. He said he felt he had “no other choice” and that he was sorry for what he did.

FEB. 2

GREENER PASTURES 9:27 a.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard Trespass. Police arrested a 29-year-old transient man for hanging around the shrubbery in the back of a local supermarket’s parking lot. The man had been trespassed from the supermarket the day before, and so had the other two men with him. Police report the man told officers he didn’t realize the shrubbery was part of the store’s parking lot. When asked by officers why he continued to enter the supermarket’s property after being trespassed, he said he “didn’t think it was a big deal.” He was taken to jail.

FEB. 3

FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS? 2:45 a.m. — Intersection of Cypress Circle and Rockefeller Drive Possession of heroin. Being left behind proved to be a stroke of luck for an unidentified man in Ormond Beach when his two deserting friends were arrested shortly afterward on three drug charges. Police were observing the group after a local gas station clerk called regarding a suspicious vehicle. The two friends drove away from the gas station

as the unidentified man was making a purchase inside the store. As the officer was leaving to follow the vehicle, he overheard the unidentified man say, “Where did they go? I can’t believe they left me.” When police conducted a traffic stop on the two friends, they found heroin, marijuana and Xanax in the car. The officer asked the two friends why they left the unidentified man behind, and they said he left his bicycle at the gas station earlier that night and planned to ride it home.

FEB. 6

A HAIRY SITUATION 10:28 a.m. — Ormond Beach Battery touch. An Ormond Beach man was arrested after he allegedly ripped out a clump of hair from his wife’s head, police reported. When officers arrived at the house, they heard yelling and entered the home through an open door in the back of the property. They made contact with the couple inside, and the wife told officers, “Take him. I’m sick of it.” She told officers that she and her husband got into an argument because she was smoking his cigarettes. She said that he then took a comb and “maliciously ripped” her hair out of her head. The woman showed officers a comb with a clump of her hair in the bristles. The man told police he didn’t touch her. He was taken to jail.

SPORTS HIGH

Pin it 5 to win it 1

Seabreeze High School competed at the Special Olympic’s 2019 State Basketball Championship on Feb. 1-2 at The Big House in Tavares. One Seabreeze team won a bronze medal and another Seabreeze team took fourth place.

Seabreeze’s boy soccer team advanced to the second round of the regional tournament, defeating Eastside in the opening round 1-0 on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. It was the Sandcrabs’ 21st win of the season.

eabreeze’s Victor Lipsey was one of four returners to the Sandcrabs’ boys wrestling team. Last year, he grappled in the 182-pound weight class. But when Mike Fries took over as the Sandcrabs’ new head coach before the start of this season, he asked Lipsey to drop over 20 pounds into the 160-pound class. Lipsey dieted the entire summer and made weight before the start of the 2018-19 season. He wrestled in the 160-pound class the entire regular season. However, he recently put on some weight so he could wrestle in the 170-pound class, where Fries thinks Lipsey has the best opportunity to advance to the FHSAA wrestling state tournament on March 8-9 in Kissimmee. Lipsey won the title for the 170-pound class at the Five Star Conference Championship on the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 9, at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

Seabreeze coach Mike Fries looks on during the conference championship

“Victor’s doing whatever he needs to do to be successful,” Fries said. “He’s peaking at the right time. As long as he keeps grinding and working, I think he’s going to make it.” The Sandcrabs didn’t perform well as a team at the conference tournament. They finished in sixth place out of nine teams. But two other Sandcrabs in addition to Lipsey shined individually. Grant Schwartz won the 126-pound class, and Cayden Quirion finished second in the 120-pound class. Going up against one of the top 120-pounders in the state in New Smyrna Beach’s Michael Shannon, Quirion was down just 4-1 with 30 seconds left in the match. He went for a dig move in an attempt to win, but he was pinned. Quirion is a freshman. “He really showed up,” Fries said. Part of the Sandcrabs’ disappointing overall performance was their struggles in the consolation matches. The Sandcrabs lost five of those matches. If they would have won two of those, the Sandcrabs would have finished third as a team. “We just had mental breakdowns,” Fries said. “There were some kids who didn’t wrestle like they could have.”

Mainland girls basketball team’s season closed with a 73-60 loss to Atlantic on Feb. 6 in the district semifinals. The Buccaneers won 14 games this season.

Seabreeze girls soccer team’s season came to an end with a 4-1 loss to Eastside in the opening round of the regional tournament on Feb. 8. The Sandcrabs finished the season with a 14-7-3 overall record.

Mainland’s wrestling team finished in ninth place at the Five Star Conference Championship on Saturday, Feb. 9.

Bucs football players choose colleges at NSD ceremony Moving on to play in college has become common place for Mainland’s football program. SPORTS EDITOR

High school football players across the country signed their national letters of intent during National Signing Day on Wednesday, Feb. 6. Mainland High School held its signing ceremony that morning and, per usual, the Buccaneers’ senior class produced another outstanding crop of signees. These are the Buccaneers who took the next step to the college

level: D’Andre McMillian didn’t have a college offer entering his senior year. The stress and anxiety weighed on him — until he was offered by Prairie View A&M on Aug. 19. He piled up several offers since, and on Wednesday, McMillian signed with Division I school Murray State. Blake Sadusk, who was solid for the Buccaneers’ linebackers unit, signed with Division II program Chowan University. Defensive back Brandon

Team captain and the anchor of the Buccaneers’ defensive line, Kevon McCrary, signed with Sacred Heart, as well. Star two-way player Andrew Plummer, who decommitted from South Florida, signed with Division I program Florida Atlantic. Plummer played wide receiver and cornerback the past few seasons.

Offensive lineman Travis Robinson chose to stay home. He signed with Division I BethuneCookman. Team captain and offensive lineman John Endara signed with Division I Stetson. In addition, Kemari Kemp and Kaleem Chohan signed letters of intent to serve as student football managers. Kemp signed with Bethune-Cookman, and Chohan signed with Central Florida.

YOUR NEIGHBORS Kings and Queens for a night Night To Shine gives Volusia special needs population the royal treatment JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

rmond Beach resident Janell Riggs got the chance to be a princess for a day. Riggs was one of 165 attendees at the fifth-annual Tim Tebow Foundation’s Night To Shine event at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Friday, Feb. 8. Lighthouse Christ Presbyterian Church hosted the event for the fourth year in a row, and Tomoka Christian Church also participated this year. Night to Shine provides a prom night for the special needs community, and is held worldwide. At Embry-Riddle, the night started with each prom attendee being escorted down a 150-foot red carpet by either a member of the school’s ROTC or a cheerleader. Family members, photographers and volunteers acted as “paparazzi” to welcome them into the prom, where once inside, they enjoyed a live DJ, photo boot, limo rides, a karaoke station and the opportunity to be drawn by one of the three caricature Disney artists. For event co-chair Bob Coleman, it was a night to show the special needs community they really are kings and queens. These are people who are not always told they are beautiful, he explained, and this is an opportunity to give them a fun evening. He said the community has been engaged every year to help them raise money for the prom because they see what a difference it makes for the local special needs population. “It’s probably one of the most gratifying things we do,” Coleman said. Riggs’ special night started long before the date of the prom. She visited Lighthouse Christ Presbyterian Church’s Glitter and Shine, which helped the prom attendees pick out an outfit to wear. She picked a sequined red dress. “It reminds me of Princess Jasmine,” Riggs said.
