Gun threat causes mass absenteeism at Seabreeze High

A total of 731 students — 44% of the student body — stayed home from Seabreeze High School on Tuesday, Feb. 19, after two students reported seeing a video in which an unidentified student threatened to bring a gun to campus on that date. The reported threat comes after months of violence between students, culminating most recently in a series of fights on Thursday, Feb. 14, and Friday, Feb. 15, according to police. Those fights were “both on and off campus at the surrounding businesses around the school such as McDonald’s, Dollar General, Planet Fitness, and others,” a Daytona Beach Police Department report states. The
fights were “possibly race driven in nature,” according to the report. One of the fights that occurred on Friday, Feb. 15, involved a crowd of as many as 50-60 students, according to a police report. In that incident, Ormond Beach police responded to a call about a fight in progress at 11:25 a.m. outside the Bank of America at 906 S. Atlantic Ave. A witness — a woman in the parking lot of neighboring Planet Fitness — had called it in, according to the police report. An arriving officer could see kids running and walking away in all directions, but none were willing to speak with law enforcement, according to the report. Another witness told OBPD that there were 40 kids around before the fight started, and that a white teenager had been jumped by a group of African American teens. Police found a blood trail leading north toward Harvard Drive. One student has been arrested in connection with one of the recent fights: Video footage recorded on witnesses’ cell phones showed
the student, a 15-year-old, pull a knife in an off-campus fight during lunch on Feb. 15, according to a police report. It was “unclear to this point if anyone was stabbed,” a charging affidavit states. The 15-year-old suspect was found at Seabreeze after lunch, walking between campus buildings. When the school’s dean of discipline told him to come to the dean’s office, the student dropped his backpack and ran. The dean stopped the student, and a deputy detained the student. The dean found a yellow box cutter near one of the buildings the student had walked past. The teen “admitted to throwing it down on the ground while running away,” but denied he’d had it during the off-campus fight. He told police and the dean that he had taken the box cutter from another student who’d pulled it on him. DBPD arrested the 15-yearold for bringing a knife to school. The next day, Feb. 16, two stu-
dents told the DBPD that they had seen a video and text messages of an unidentified student saying “that this is just the beginning,” threatening to bring a gun to school and stating that that “will be the end,” according to a police report. The school sent out an automated message on Monday, Feb. 18, telling parents that the administration was aware of the gun threat and that the school would increase its security. DBPD Sgt. Kelsey Harris stated in an email that police are aware of the threat and the activity on social media. The agency is working with school officials, the school resource officer and OBPD to identify other students involved, and the DBPD has increased police presence on campus for the following days, she stated. The 731 absences that occurred at Seabreeze Feb. 19 represented 44% of the school’s student body, according to Kelly Schulz, the director of community information for Volusia County Schools. On a typical day at Seabreeze, 70 students out of the 1,650 enrolled are absent, she stated. This latest gun threat comes a year after 17 students died in a school shooting in Parkland. Following that shooting, Volusia County saw an increase of false gun threats, leading to the arrest of at least 22 students. In December 2018, a student at Atlantic High in Port Orange was arrested after police found a loaded gun in his backpack.

LOL Lock it or Lose it As the city sees a spike in car breaks, the agency has upped the number of issued Lock it or Lose it cards. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
J
ust after 11 a.m. as Ormond Beach Police Officer Dan Jordan patrolled the parking lot at Granada Plaza, he spotted a new iPhone propped up on a red SUV’s cupholder. He shook his head, and started filling out one of OBPD’s crime of opportunity report cards. When he finished, he pulled open the unlocked driver side door and laid the card on the seat. The act didn’t trigger a car alarm — only a gentle chime. “See that?” Jordan says. “You could see it. That’s one of the examples.” In two hours on Thursday, Feb. 14, Jordan issued 13 of these cards warning people against leaving valuables like purses, cell phones and GPS devices visible inside their vehicles. It’s a way for the agency to fight the number one crime in the city: car breaks. Based on OBPD’s crime view data as of Feb. 11, car breaks are up 55% compared to this time last year. So far, the city has seen 42 incidents compared to the 27 cases year to date in 2018. Overall, there were 392 reported car breaks in Ormond Beach in 2018. At the same time, OBPD has upped its crime prevention tactics. The agency’s distribution of crime-of-opportunity report cards, also known as LOL cards for the Lock it or Lose it educational campaign, has increased by 150% compared to 2018. Officers have more than doubled their efforts, having handed out 875 cards so far. At this time in 2018, officers had handed out 349. Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said car breaks should go down with the number of cards distributed, but that this was only a two-week cycle, and numbers fluctuate. That 55% spike presented during the agency’s crime view meeting should be an alarm bell for the officers. It directs them to where extra patrol efforts need to be placed. But, he said, the responsibility lies with the citizens. “Ultimately, we can’t lock the cars for the citizens,” Godfrey said. ‘WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND’
During patrol, Jordan stopped at the public parking lot off East Granada Boulevard facing the tennis courts by The Casements. He peered inside the vehicles parked there, and explained that this lot was a common area for car breaks. People sometimes leave their cars unlocked or purses in the front seats while they play tennis. In between two vehicles, he pointed out glass shards on the asphalt. “This is where somebody got hit before,” Jordan said. “That’s why you see the leftover glass. This shows how frequent we are

in this area.” No cars were left unlocked this time, though. There also weren’t any valuables visible. This was a welcome surprise for Jordan, who often stops by this lot during his patrol shift. He doesn’t always have a lot of time to check cars and place LOL cards. On busy days when officers are responding to multiple calls, he will place at least five. But there have also been days where the number of LOL cards he fills out climbs up to the double-digits. The most he’s ever filled out in one day in 50, he said. Jordan has seen a lot: purses and laptops, mail with visible account numbers, and guns. He’s seen people leave behind wads of cash in the passenger seat. Some of these items were left in unlocked vehicles. Jordan encounters a visible gun inside a car about two or three times a year. The last time he saw one was two months ago in Granada Plaza. “People really take for granted what they leave behind,” Jordan said.
Locations like Gold’s Gym, day cares, Nova Community Center, Planet Fitness and Fortunato Park are other common areas for car breaks. Jordan said that three years ago, they arrested a man known to commit burglaries in the area. He said the man mentioned that Ormond Beach was a “place to hit” among local thieves because residents leave their stuff unlocked and that there weren’t a lot of police officers in the city. If that’s the rumor, Jordan said, the agency has to be proactive rather than reactive. “When you’re trying to do as much as you can with the amount of resources that you’re given, crime prevention is one of the best ways of tackling that,” Jordan said. Criminals are looking for the “easy target,” Godfrey said. Unlocked cars with valuables is “way too common” in the city, he said, and while locking vehicles is important, so is hiding visible merchandise. He said thieves want to pull up to a car, grab something and run off.
Car breaks have been an issue in the city for years, Jordan said. He’s spent 17 years with the agency. The LOL cards were created about 10 years ago, though OBPD has capitalized on them for the last five. Having people come up to him and report their possessions stolen from an unlocked vehicle is disappointing to Jordan. Sometimes, these are cars in which he or another officer had left an LOL card in the past. “I feel bad,” Jordan said. “I guess you could say I take it personally.” He said it’s because after a person gets their property stolen, there isn’t much an officer can do to help. Guns are traded in the streets, and merchandise is pawned quickly. Aside from the LOL cards, OBPD also began holding public crime view meetings in 2015. The agency became active on social media with its #9PMroutine, urging residents to lock up their vehicles, shortly after Capt. Chris Roos came onboard in March 2017. Godfrey said OBPD has received mostly favorable reviews from the citizens on the agency’s LOL cards, though sometimes they’ll get an email from someone telling them to stop placing them on their car. One of the cars Jordan singled out while patrolling the parking lot at Planet Fitness had already been issued an LOL card. It was crumpled in the back seat. Jordan didn’t leave him another. But Godfrey said he believes the prevention tactics matter because of the community contact between residents and the officers. Jordan said he is passionate about the initiative. He writes down the reason he leaves the LOL cards on every single one. “While it didn’t happen, we’re out telling you what could happen,” Jordan said. “It’s like a reverse type of education.”

Ambulance in Ormondby-the-Sea by this fall
Ormond Beach
The hope is the Volusia County ambulance will help cut extended response times in the north peninsula. JARLEENE ALMENAS
CALENDAR
As the Volusia County EMS system increases staffing and ambulances, the county also hopes to increase its service to beachside residents by stationing a fullystaffed ambulance in its North Peninsula Fire Station no. 14 in Ormond-by-the-Sea for 12 hours a day starting this fall. Adding an ambulance to the north peninsula was part of the five recommendations presented to the County Council at its meeting on Feb. 5. The council voted to implement the first two recommendations for a cost of $1.45 million (including start-up and recurring costs) by Oct. 1: Revise its interfacility transfer model by dedicating two of its ambulances around the clock for this purpose, an immediate action, and implement a nurse triage pilot program to handle low acuity calls. This one is meant to free up ambulances for “true emergencies” and will be phased in before Oct. 1. The ambulance at the Fire Station 14 is part of the county’s fourth recommendation, to be implemented on Oct. 1. The north peninsula was identified as a location where the county’s dynamic deployment system didn’t work, said Joseph Pozzo, interim county director of public protection. “If you get a call in the north peninsula, then you potentially can have an extended response time,” Pozzo said. EMS received 499 calls for service in the north peninsula from Oct. 1, 2017, to Sept. 30, 2018. The average response time for an ambulance to reach the scene was 13 minutes and 24 seconds; for the fire department, which is deployed from Fire Station no. 14, it was 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

were in result of the Volusia Managers Association EMS Ad-Hoc Committee formed last summer to review the EMS system challenges. Jason Lademann, EMS Union president, was part of that committee. He said in an email that the committee identified areas in the county that are difficult to reach in a timely fashion from the central areas ambulances are typically positioned. “The plan’s initial recommendation to add ambulances in Ormond-by-the-Sea and Osteen will improve response times to both communities and their surrounding areas,” Lademann said. That ambulance will make a difference, said Volusia County Councilwoman Heather Post. When she first came into office, she said people who lived along the A1A corridor approached her, concerned about the EMS service due to the elderly nature of the north peninsula’s population. “If you just look at the logistics, it’s physically impossible to get someone up there in a hurry when you have no one beachside, period,” she said. Without a hospital on the beachside, residents already face at least a 20-minute commute to AdventHealth Daytona Beach. That demonstrates an increased critical care need, Post said. “It has been needed up in the north peninsula for a long time, and I’m very excited to be getting one up there,” she said.

seconds or less countywide. And when the committee saw that, Pozzo said they looked into what was causing the lag. “What we discovered was that the demand, at certain times of the day, exceeds the available EMS resources,” Pozzo said. This is where the county’s PLUS program comes in to assist EMS, Pozzo said. New Smyrna Beach, Ponce Inlet, Edgewater, Deltona, South Daytona and Port Orange have all bought their own ambulances and entered the program. “We immediately addressed the demand problem,” Pozzo said. “As soon as we recognized we have a demand problem, we have some staffing issues, we have some interfacility issues, we went to work right away.” Pozzo said the county is working to fill all vacancies in EMS, as well as keeping a continuing pool
of candidates to fill positions later on. The new leadership in EMS has put “a strong focus” on filling positions, said Lademann. This has allowed EMS to better meet demand by staffing additional ambulances using overtime, he added. “Our paramedics and EMTs have stepped up to the plate again and again to work even more shifts each month until permanent staffing improvements are approved,” Lademann said. Opening additional EMS service centers, the third recommendation presented to the council, will also pre-position ambulances in strategic locations, Lademann said. This will reduce fuel costs and wear and tear on the ambulances, he explained, as well as create “a healthier and safer work environment, for nearly all EMS
crews are currently confined to the cab of the ambulance for each 12-hour shift.” CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP
EMS has undergone management changes since the committee began meeting. In December 2018, EMS Director John Zaragoza agreed to resign after a meeting with Pozzo, and Emergency Operations Director Jim Judge was moved to act as the EMS interim director. Pozzo said that Judge has had a “very positive effect” on the organization itself and the collective bargaining unit. He’s taken a “real interest” in the ambulances, their quality and conditions, as well as the paramedics and EMTs. Judge said that everyone has been T:10” working together to find what’s best for the system, a

partnership that has come under Pozzo’s leadership. “Before Director Pozzo was here, that didn’t exist,” Judge said. While Post said she would have liked to see the recommendations presented as a “full package” to be implemented at once, she said she understood Pozzo needed time. However, she said she was disappointed in the presentations. Some recommendations have been budgeted for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. “All of this needs to happen to get us to square one,” she said. “It wasn’t presented in that way.” If the county implemented all the recommendations, it would have cost Volusia almost $4.4 million in one-time and recurring costs. Still, she said this is a step in the right direction. Lademann said the biggest change EMS has seen since the committee began meeting last October is a change in atmosphere. “While the needs of EMS have long since received a proverbial shoulder shrug, new leadership gave EMS the time and attention that was long overdue,” Lademann said.

ORMOND BEACH
Car wash approved for Granada Pointe City staff said no. Planning Board said no. But the City Commission voted yes. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
Ormond Beach will have another car wash in town following a 3-1 City Commission vote approving Planned Business Development amendment for developer Paul Holub’s Granada Pointe. City Commissioner Susan Persis voted against; City Commissioner Dwight Selby was absent. Five of the six proposed amendments were passed by the commission: allowing privacy walls up to 8 feet high, removing the eight parking spaces on the north parcel for the Three Chimneys property, modifying the $10,000 contribution to the Ormond Beach Historical Society to allow the organization to use it without restriction, clarifying that two parcels are permitted on the southwest end of the property, and allowing a car wash. The City Commission denied the removal of an additional historic tree, which Holub had already asked to be taken off the amendment request. Eight citizens spoke against the car wash at the meeting; two spoke in favor, and a handful waived their right to speak as the night went on. The vote came down to whether a car wash fit the city’s comprehensive plan. It is the city’s planning director’s responsibility to interpret this plan and to apply it for development requests. City staff recommended the commission deny the car wash use. So did the Planning Board in January, 4-3.
But, the City Commission felt differently. Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington said things have changed over the years with how car washes look and operate. “I really don’t think this use is going to be bad in any way,” Partington said. “I think it’s appropriate. It fits in that area.” Partington said city staff “hasn’t had the benefit” of the commission giving them policy corrections recently on the appropriate locations for car washes. He said he’s always going to vote for projects that have less impact on the residents, alluding to the fact the parcel was approved for a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru, along with a special exemption for a Wawa gas station, in the initial PBD development order approved in 2017. Persis said she couldn’t support the car wash because the Planning Board and staff advised against it. Among the residents that spoke was Rita Press, who used to serve on the Planning Board. She said if the commission allowed a car wash on Granada Boulevard, it will be setting a precedent that would open the main corridor to other automotive uses. She said the city’s comprehensive plan is a road map intended to guide local governing policies with decisions. This is the controlling document of the city and takes precedence over the land development code. City staff determined the car wash didn’t

align with the plan, she said. “I think we should back them up,” Press said. One Ormond Beach resident who lives behind Granada Pointe said he supported the car wash because he didn’t want any fast food restaurants in the development. Ormond Beach resident Suzanne Scheiber presented the commission with a survey with 201 participants, which she said was more than what some OB Life workshops received. The survey was open for nine days, and asked people what they wanted to see in Granada Pointe. Sitdown restaurants, specialty food shops and ice cream, bakery or coffee shop were among the top answers. “To cast a vote for the car wash is going against the will of the citizens,” she said. She challenged the commission to come up with a “better vision” for Granada Pointe. After public comment, Holub approached the commission and said that he never envisioned bringing a car wash like Modern Car Wash to the development. He said he “didn’t know they existed.” He said opportunities for other fast food chains have come by, but that he rejected them because they weren’t what he wanted to build. After the commission approved the item, resident Linda Williams made a comment: “I am heartsick at what happened here tonight,” she said. “You did not listen to the citizens.”

ALSO OK’D Also at the meeting, the City Commission approved a development order for a special exception to allow outdoor storage at Big Chief Travel Center Inc., located at 1560 N. U.S. 1. Construction for a new Extended Stay America was approved. The hotel will have 124 rooms and will be located at 275 Interchange Blvd. An ordinance calling for amending the terms of office to include staggered four year terms for the City Commission and mayoral seats was approved, provided that it passes in the upcoming special election in May. It will be a referendum question placed on the mail-in ballot. In the consent agenda, the commission approved a proposal from Zev Cohen and Associates to perform a feasibility study regarding the relocation of the police station and emergency operations center. The city also approved in its consent agenda to accept a proposal from Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. to perform a feasibility study regarding the potential site uses for the church property at 56 N. Beach St.

A land-use designation amendment is required for a private home. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR
Optimism. A powerful element in fighting cancer. When Desert Storm veteran Lynette Bell’s follicular lymphoma went into remission, she chased her dreams to Florida and pursued a career in photography. However, during a routine doctor’s visit here, she learned her cancer had returned. Fortunately, she had access to Phase 1 clinical trials at Florida Cancer Specialists. In the past 4 years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with Florida Cancer Specialists participation. Today, Lynette’s cancer has surrendered, proving that when hope and science join forces, great outcomes can happen. “My team at Florida Cancer Specialists cared for my individual situation with the clinical trial I needed.”

Neighbors fear that a house built near wetlands on State Road 40 west of Interstate 95 will cause flooding, but Planning Board members at their Feb. 7 meeting believed those fears were unfounded. The board unanimously recommended approval by the City Commission, which will hear the matter March 21 and April 2. The property owner is seeking a land-use designation amendment for five acres to “suburban low density residential” from “public institutional,” which allows a house of worship, child care facility or assisted living facility. The property at 2575 W. Granada Boulevard has a pond and about 2.6 acres of wetlands. Hunter’s Ridge houses are to the north and east of the property. In the public comment section of the meeting, a couple of residents said they were concerned about water in the wetlands being displaced into their yard. One resident asked if all the trees would be cleared, because he currently has a wooded buffer from SR 40. Senior Planner Becky Weedo said any water would be required to stay on the property. “You cannot impact other properties,” she said. “That’s part of the engineering review.” In regard to the view, Planning Director Steven Spraker said that because of the wetlands, there will be a buffer between the new home and the surrounding properties. A septic tank would be required for any development there, because the sewer line in adjacent neighborhoods could not be extended through the wetlands. For this reason, Spraker said, approval of a house makes sense, because a public institution would also require a septic tank. Board member G.G. Galloway said the area is wet, but he would feel comfortable with one house there. However, he said Volusia County will have to test the area to permit a septic tank, and the county may not give approval.

COPS CORNER FEB. 12
LOVE ISN’T CHEAP 9:42 a.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard Petit theft. A 25-year-old Bunnell woman attempt at having a cheaper Valentine’s Day backfired after a local supermarket loss prevention officer noticed she “skip-scanned” a Valentine’s Day card and a necklace, earning her a notice to appear in court. Police report the woman stacked the items with some Valentine’s Day candy, paying only for the sweets. When confronted by police, she said she had never done this before and that she “was trying to save money.” She said she didn’t come into the store with the intent to steal, but that she was swayed by the “opportunity” once at the self-checkout. TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE 11:24 p.m. — 600 block of North Beach Street DUI. Police arrested a 32-yearold Ormond Beach man who was drunk driving and apologized for failing the field sobriety exercises. He had been stopped by police after an officer noticed him drifting over to the opposite traffic lane and overcorrecting. This happened four times before police pulled him over. The man appeared very nervous and had slurred speech, an officer noticed. He also continued to apologize for “no reason as well” according to the police report. During an exercise, police observed that the man could not keep his balance while standing in place, had to widen his

stance, and raised his arms from his body. He stepped off the line several times, police report. He then took 12 steps forward, stepped off the line, and approached an officer to say, “Sorry, I know I failed.” He later told police he had three Corona light beers at a bar in Daytona Beach while celebrating a friend’s birthday, but that he did not feel drunk. He was taken to jail.

BLOCKS OR MILES? 9:50 p.m. — Intersection of Deer Lake Road and West Granada Boulevard DUI. A 57-year-old man asked police to “cut him a break” when officers approached him after noticing his vehicle was “up on some rocks.” The man told police, in slurred speech and while stumbling, that “we both know I have been drinking. Cut me a break, I’m only a block away.” He was not a block away. He lives in Palm Coast. The officer reported that he had to ask the man numerous times what he was saying because he was having trouble understanding him due to his slurring. The officer asked the man for his license and registration, to which the man replied, “Yeah, thanks. You don’t need the paperwork. OK, have a good night.” He was arrested after he failed the field sobriety exercises. He told police that he missed a turn, and that it was all his fault. He was taken to jail and his vehicle was towed.
Ormond plans to buy wooded residential lot next to Central Park The city has had its eye on the property for at least a decade. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
The city of Ormond Beach is in the middle of negotiations to purchase a lot on South Old Kings Road for $285,000 near Central Park. During a workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 19, the City Commission directed staff to go forward with the purchase of the property, located at 385 S. Old Kings Road and owned by Paul Duncan. City Engineer John Noble said his predecessor discussed the city purchasing the property from Duncan about 10 years ago, but that Duncan was not interested in selling because his mother was living in the house. Since then, Noble said that Duncan’s mom has died, Duncan moved to the west side of the county, and now he is interested in selling. The 3.7-acre property is located at the south end of Central Park Phase III and in close proximity to the Environmental Discovery Center. Because a part of it is located in the flooplain, it provides for floodplain storage and would give the city a chance to increase its capacity within the Central Park and Laurel Creek drainage basin. “This is, yet again, our City

Commission putting our money where our mouth is and preserving a heavily wooded piece of property,” City Commissioner Troy Kent said. Duncan also has a few requests of his own. He’s asking that he be allowed to take everything on the property with him (the house has a house, several abandoned vehicles, boats, tires and other household items), be allowed to retain physical possession of the property for one year to clean it up and receive 50% of the money upfront. Duncan also wants the city to name the lake after his family. “Negotiations have been a bit … challenging,” City Attorney Randy Hayes said. Hayes recommended the commission counter Duncan’s request by asking for an amount to be set aside in escrow in case Duncan doesn’t clear out the property. If this happened, the city would take ownership of the things left
behind, making them the city’s responsibility to remove, and therefore necessitating the funds. Removal of the times is estimated to cost anywhere between $25,000 and $50,000. Hayes also recommended the city let Duncan have access to the property for six months and that instead of naming the lake after his family, the city construct some form of historical plaque discussing the historical ownership of the property. No city commissioner expressed strong opinions about naming or not naming the lake after Duncan’s family. Ideas for naming a dock or nearby creek were also discussed. The lot also has 37 discarded 55-gallon drums, some of which were filled with brake cleaning fluid. A city memo reads that some fluid had leaked at one one location. Hayes said this could slow down the purchase.

Mountain bikers offer to build trails at Riverbend Park There are no nearby mountain bike opportunities. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR
Riverbend Nature Park, the site of numerous past arrests for lewd behavior by men, still retains an unsavory image. Could this scenic area across Airport Road from the airport become busy with family activities? A group of residents say that could happen if they achieve their goal. On Feb. 13, three avid mountain bikers presented an idea to the Leisure Services Advisory Board, offering to build mountain biking trails with volunteer labor. “Perhaps if there’s a lot of usage by enthusiastic, outdoorsy people, it would deter any illegal activities,” said mountain biker Tim Cone. After a presentation and questions, the board, which makes recommendations to the City Commission, voted unanimously to support the project. A GROWING SPORT
The bike riders told the board members that they currently must travel to enjoy their sport. They drive to Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve, Graham Swamp Conservation Area in Palm Coast or to Chuck Lennon Park in DeLeon Springs.
Bike rider Mike Manis said the bicycling would not hurt the natural environment of the park and would not interfere with the current walking trails. The park currently has parking and a bathroom, which the cyclists called a big advantage. If the mountain bike trails become popular, the parking area might need to be enlarged. Doug Thomas, a member of the board, asked how motorized dirt bikes would be kept off the trails, and Manis said it would be selfpolicing, because dirt bikes would destroy the trails for mountain bikes. “The mountain bikers would run them out,” Manis said. Robert Carolin, the city liaison for the board, said that if the city allows the project, signage would be placed. In response to other questions from the board, the bicyclists said no trees would be taken down for the trails, and it would be maintained by the users. They said the area is hilly and would provide a good mountain biking experience, comparing favorably with other bike trails, but shorter. They said the lack of cars will help contribute to cyclist safety. “I never ride the Loop anymore,” agreed board member Ann Marie Zweifel. “It’s too danger-

ous.” There is one area of the planned trail that may need a bridge because it traverses a narrow area between Airport Road and the wetlands area. The biker riders said they would build the bridge, but would ask the city to pay for lumber. Thomas said he was extremely supportive of the project, but that the wetlands area must be determined. Shannon Julien, a board member who works in environmental services, said she would inspect the area to find out if the project is feasible near the wetlands and if state permits would be needed. After the meeting, Cone said
that the cyclists had forgotten to mention that there are a couple of homeless camps in the woods, and that this would be another reason for increasing the activity there. UNSAVORY IMAGE
“It would be nice to see family activities instead of what goes on there,” Manis said. A board member agreed, saying it could “change the complexion of the park.” On June 3, 2017, eight men were arrested for lewd activity at the park in a county-wide sting run by Volusia County Sheriff’s Office. The defendants were charged with indecent exposure

and related activities. On a recent day, an empty police car was in the parking lot. A sign with large, red letters said, “Park under 24 hours police surveillance.” A group of workers who had stopped for lunch said they stop by a couple of times a week and the park is usually empty. Jesse Godfrey, Ormond Beach Police chief, said there were no complaints or arrests at the park in 2018, and officers make daily checks. He said the idea of the park being utilized by mountain bikers is a great idea because there are no other nearby opportunities. “I think it will be a success,” he said.

When he first hooked up, he assumed it was a big stingray or cat fish. After fighting the fish to shore for a long time, he then realized that it was the largest redfish he’d ever seen.

T
wo minutes into the second half of the Class 3A boys soccer state semifinal between Seabreeze and Ponte Vedra, the unthinkable happened: The Sharks scored their second goal of the game to take a 2-0 lead over the Sandcrabs. It was the first time this season the Sandcrabs, who were scored on a total of eight times in the 24 previous games, gave up more than one goal in a game. Their goal of returning to the state championship for the third straight year was put on life support. But in their years of playing together, they’d been tested like this before. They battled back. Dillon Vollinger was the first to strike for the Sandcrabs. The senior midfielders’ goal came at the 29-minute mark in the second half and shifted momentum toward the Sandcrabs. A laser beam goal by sophomore midfielder Michel Hanna 8 minutes later tied it, and Hanna scored again a few possessions later, giving the Sandcrabs their first lead with 19:02 to play in regulation. However, a free kick by the Sharks slipped through the hands of Sandcrabs goal keeper Cameron Bowling. What should have been a routine save turned into a goal for Ponte Vedra. The two teams ended regulation tied 3-3. Contrary to the regular season, postseason high school soccer includes two overtime periods and, if necessary, a penalty shootout. Both teams had several opportunities to take the lead in each overtime period but couldn’t capitalize. The Sandcrabs limped into the penalty kick shootout. Nearly
every Sandcrabs player was either nursing an aching back, powering through leg cramps or sprinting on bum ankles. “We all believed in each other,” senior forward Nate Thompson said. “We were all picking each other up.” The team captains organized the lineup for the penalty kick shootout: Benjamin Hartsell first, Tanner Barnwell second, Thompson third, Will Crotty fourth and Ryan Betau last. The Sharks were the first to attempt a kick. With the weight of the team — and the season — on his shoulders, Bowling stepped into the box. His father, Rob Bowling, who is also an assistant coach for the team, couldn’t watch. He left the sideline to wait in the parking lot. With each cheer and each groan from the stands at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, Rob Bowling could only guess what was occurring on the field. “When two teams play that hard,” he said, “it’s unfair to decide a game like that.” When the first Sharks kicker approached, Cameron Bowling stared at the ball. He needed to redeem himself. He had a pep talk from former Seabreeze head coach Nate Murphy, who was in the stands during the game, before the shootout began. “He just told me to erase everything from what happened earlier in the game,” Bowling said. “This was my clean slate. So I just let everything go.” He picked a side and stuck with it. He guessed right. However, the Sharks’ goal keeper also guessed right when he got his opportunity. Hartsell’s shot was low to the ground, and the Sharks’ keeper batted it away. Both teams traded goals on the second attempt. Then Bowling regained his focus on the
third, diving low to the ground and punching the ball away from the net. Meanwhile, Thompson fooled the Sharks’ keeper on his attempt. The keeper dove right. The ball went left. Both teams traded goals again on the fourth attempt, and the Sharks were able to convert their final attempt. So when Betau approached the ball for Seabreeze’s final attempt, it was for the win. Betau walked to the ball with confidence. “I wanted to throw the goal keeper off,” he said. “He’s going to know you’re going to score.” He picked his spot in the back of the net: just a little left of center, like he usually does in practice. He kicked it — hard. The keeper had no chance. The Sandcrabs (22-2-1) outlasted Ponte Vedra on the night of Saturday, Feb. 16, to advance to the Class 3A state championship. “I’ve been a part of a lot of great games. But that’s about the best one I’ve ever been a part of,” said Elias Freidus, Seabreeze’s firstSeveral players from both teams leap to make contact with the ball.

year head coach, holding back tears. “These guys want to win. Period.” He added: “They’re warriors. I’ve never seen a team battle so hard. They’re brothers. They do this for each other. And I’m just happy to be along for the ride.” The Sandcrabs lost the state title a year ago to American Heritage in heart-breaking fashion. The Patriots scored with 4 seconds left in overtime to end Seabreeze’s chance at back-toback championships. But the Sandcrabs will have their shot at revenge. On Saturday night, the Patriots defeated Jesuit in a penalty kick shootout to return to the state final, which will be held Feb. 23, at Spec Martin Stadium in DeLand. “It’s just been an amazing season. We’ve worked hard. We’ve struggled. We’ve fought through the cold and the heat. We’ve come a long way,” said Thompson, whose high school career will come to an end next Saturday. “We wanted them, and we’re going to win this.”

Playoff bound! It was Mainland’s first district championship since the 2013-14 season.

The Buccaneers’ Rodney Rhoden sprinted down the court with the ball in his hands — with a trio of Sharks behind him. Mainland was leading rival Atlantic 47-45 with 5.7 seconds remaining in regulation of the District 5-7A championship, but Rhoden saw a clear path to the basket. He wasn’t going to wait for the Sharks to foul him. He didn’t want to leave any doubt. “My thought was to attack,” Rhoden said. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard rose high into the air and
slammed the ball through the hoop with his right hand. The crowd packed into the stands at Seabreeze High School’s gym exploded with applause after the game-sealing dunk. The Buccaneers captured their first district title since the 201314 season, defeating Atlantic 49-48 on the night of Friday, Feb. 15. It was their fifth straight win over the Sharks and their third straight this season. Mainland built an 11-point lead after the first half behind 11 points from transfer guard Jordan Sears. However, the Sharks fought back in the second half. A 3-pointer by Kendall Bean, followed by a steal and layup by Kevin Beans, cut the Buccaneers’ lead to 41-39 with 4:30 to play in the fourth quarter. The second-half rally by the Sharks was expected by Mainland coach Joe Giddens. “I knew it was going to be that way when you’re playing against a coach like coach David Howard,” Giddens said. “He does a great job. But my kids just kept fighting.” The battle-tested Buccaneers stayed in the moment. They were able to maintain their single-digit lead by playing tough defense, rebounding and sinking free throws. “We were just telling ourselves that we had to play hard each possession,” said forward Johnny Brown, who scored a team-leading 14 points. “We had to stay calm even when things don’t go our way.” The Buccaneers, who have just one loss this season, move on to the playoffs, where they were one game short of advancing to the Final Four last season. They’ll host Lake Gibson at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21, at Mainland High School.

Larrie Tiffany wasn’t always interested in theater. Far from it, actually. Tiffany was a construction worker. He used to spend his time on skyscrapers — not center stage. But then, 35 years ago, after a few life changes, he attended an audition for a Shakespeare play. And he got cast. “It just caught my interest,” Tiffany said. “I just feel comfortable on stage. I enjoy the process — the smell of the theater, I don’t know.” The Ormond-by-the-Sea resident, who describes himself as a “hometown boy,” born and raised in Holly Hill, has starred in about 40 plays and directed another 20. In a few days, the Daytona Playhouse will open with the latest show he’s been involved with. Tiffany is directing “A Bad Year for Tomatoes,” a seven-person comedic play about Myra, a famous TV actress who flees Hollywood to a small New England town to write her biography. But her nosy neighbors make “getting away” a bit complicated, and Myra, played by Kellie Jen-
kins, concocts a crazy sister to keep them away. The play was written 40 years ago, and as director, Tiffany had to make a few calls to update parts of the play into the 21st century, What Tiffany loves about directing is working with the cast and seeing them become the play’s characters. As an actor himself, he knows what that feels like. Recently, he played the lead part in the Daytona Playhouse’s rendition of “On Golden Pond” in January. It’s one of his four favorite plays he’s been a part of in the last three and a half decades. “Last of the Red Hot Lovers,” “Sleuth” and “Deathtrap” round out his favorites. These were all plays he starred in a leading role. “I had a great time with them,” Tiffany said. He doesn’t go to as many auditions anymore. As he’s grown older, Tiffany said he’s been more interested in directing. Aside from the Daytona Playhouse, he also has directed plays at the Little Theater of New Smyrna Beach. For Tiffany, being part of a production, whether backstage directing, building sets or in the reciting lines in the spotlight, has

been a “tremendous life enrichment.” He initially just wanted to meet new people when he attended that fateful Shakespeare audition. But it became more than that. He learned about culture, he said. He didn’t go to college or attend a theater school. All the knowledge he’s acquired, Tiffany has gotten from the stage. “It’s a wonderful experience — I’ve found it to be,” Tiffany said. “A Bad Year for Tomatoes” will open at the Daytona Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 22. It will run until March 3.

Kyle Snowden
Once school lets out this coming summer, one Ormond Beach teen is hoping to get back into the classroom: Only this time, at Brown University in Rhode Island. Kyle Snowden, 16, was accepted into the university’s Summer@Brown program, which offers more than 200 courses to over 4,000 students worldwide throughout the summer. He’s hoping to spend a week diving into the topic that has fascinated him since he was 3 years old and dressed up as a doctor for Halloween. Snowden’s chosen course, “Hands-on Medicine: Week in the Life of a Medical Student,” will feature dissections led by medical students and diagnosis simulations with actors. For Snowden, who attends Spruce Creek High School for its IB program, this course is a chance for him to gain deeper understanding of the medical field. One day, he hopes to be a surgeon. “It’s always something that’s

He works at Salty Dog Surf Shop and also volunteers with Team RWB, a veterans organization. He helps with its 0.0K fundraiser to buy Christmas gifts for the veterans at the Emory L. Bennett Memorial veterans nursing home, and later helps distribute them. “Kyle not only participates, but I have seen him develop relationships with some of the residents at the home,” said Vince Faulkner, veteran engagement director for the local Team RWB. “Kyle is an exceptional young man and I look forward to seeing where his life takes him.” Snowden’s father, Joey Snowden, said he couldn’t be more proud of his son. “I’m very excited for him,” he said.
