Chuck and Estelle are ages 69 and 72, respectively. They own their house and have no debt. Estelle was reluctant to file for divorce because she knew it might mean selling the home where she and Chuck raised their children. However, Estelle could establish a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit and use the money to pay Chuck for his share of their home’s equity. Estelle would be able to stay in place after the divorce, and have no mortgage payments, as long as she maintained the residence and continued to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance. Chuck could use his proceeds for other housing arrangements. Or, here is a second approach: If they both agreed to sell the house, the couple could divide the proceeds and then each use his/ her share of the money to purchase separate homes using Reverse Mortgage loans. Here’s a simplified example of how this could work: the couple lists and sells their house for $320,000 (net of closing costs and sales-related expenses). Estelle and Chuck each receives $160,000. Estelle can now use her
Using a Reverse Mortgage loan can benefit each of the divorcing parties. Of course, this type of loan isn’t just for divorcing spouses. It can be used by anyone who is age 62 or older and owns a home. In fact, the older you are, the more loan dollars you can receive, and the less you’ll have to use for a down payment when buying a home.

Coming soon to Granada Pointe? Developer Paul Holub seeks city approval for a car wash and removal of one historic tree. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
T
he car wash coming to Granada Pointe is not like ones the community has seen before, developer Paul Holub said at a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 18. “This is the top line of car washes, and if we’re going to have another car wash, this is the one we want in the community,” Holub said. He added that it is bringing a multi-million dollar investment to the area. The Cloud 10 Car Wash is being proposed for the southeast parcel of Granada Pointe, which will also be home to a Wawa gas station. The building will span 4,750 square feet and will see an average of 300-400 cars on a weekday and 500-600 on a weekend. Holub said this is a 25% reduction of daily trips compared to the ones a fast food restaurant with a drive-thru would generate. It is a current permitted use for the parcel. Building a car wash requires an amendment to Holub’s development order for Granada Pointe, which in turn, also required him to hold another neighborhood meeting. An estimated 40 people, including past City Commission candidate Sandy Kauffman and members from the Ormond Beach Historical Society, attended the meeting held at the Hampton Inn. Aside from permitting a car wash use in Granada Pointe, Holub is also seeking five other amendments: the removal of a historic tree from the north parcel; clarification that two buildings could be permitted in the southwest parcel; a permit for 6to 8-foot-tall privacy walls; the removal of eight parking spaces on the north parcel for the historic Three Chimneys property; and a modification stating that

a $10,000 contribution to the Historical Society can be used for repair and maintenance of the Three Chimneys. ‘BRING US SOMETHING ELSE’
Though 10 months have passed since the land for Granada Pointe was cleared, some at the meeting said they were still grieving the loss of the trees. Ormond Beach resident Linda Williams asked Holub and the other investors and project engineers if there was something else that could have been proposed for the site. “We feel like the trade-off is just horrible,” Williams said. “For a gas station and a car wash for that beautiful woodland.” Holub had stated earlier in the meeting that a Culver’s restaurant had been initially in the works for Granada Pointe, but that deal could not be finalized because another Culver’s franchise began construction at the Tomoka Town Center across from the Tanger Outlets by LPGA Boulevard. “We’re just heartsick that this is what you have brought us for

this piece of land,” Williams said. Holub said that other uses are coming to the development, including retail and a new grocery store. WILL ANOTHER TREE FALL?
Holub is seeking to remove a historic oak tree at the entrance of the north parcel. It’s not an oak with a full canopy, he said, but it is leaning into Granada Boulevard and its branches hover over the power lines. While the tree is
currently healthy, Holub said, it could pose a problem in a future storm due to its proximity to the $400,000 mast arm for the planned traffic light at the intersection of Tomoka Avenue and Granada Boulevard. Ormond Beach resident Ashlee Gruenewald asked why the tree was initially kept, and Holub replied that workers thought the tree was in a location where they could preserve it. As the development proceeded, he said, they noticed how much it was leaning. “I think a lot of people were upset about the leveling of that beautiful forest area that now we’re talking about, no offense, putting a car wash, and it seems like in lieu of an understanding of what we wanted, you could have thought about that,” Gruenewald said. Holub’s landscape architect gave the tree a “9” rating in terms of being a hazard, with “10” being the most dangerous. City Planning Director Steven Spraker said the city sent an arborist to inspect the tree, and the arborist found the tree healthy. Staff is likely to not recommend approval to remove it, Spraker said, but pruning the tree could be an option. “If the city does not want it down, then we don’t object, but we want to be on the record that it is a hazard,” Holub said. Kauffman suggested Holub consider putting a traffic light in that location if the historic tree could be an obstruction. She asked for a show of hands to see how many people wanted a traffic light so close to the one in Orchard Street. Four people, including Holub’s son Bryan Shaffer, raised their hands. “I would think that anybody that lived in the neighborhood to the south would welcome a traffic signal to go west, because this used to be a ‘Y’ intersection which is not allowed in today’s world,” Holub said. “It was there since the ’60s and ’70s. It was very dangerous.” The Planning Board is expected to review the amendments at its meeting on Jan. 10.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
The Volusia County Council said goodbye to its two outgoing members — At-Large Representative Joyce Cusack and District 1’s Pat Patterson — at the council’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 18, with anecdotes and jokes about their years in office. “To all things, there is a season,” Cusack said. “The time has come that I close this chapter on my journey.” County Council Chair Ed Kelley presented both Cusack and Patterson with memorial plaques after county staff members, the council and several members of the public spoke. The chambers were flooded with Cusack’s family and friends, including her daughters, sorority sisters and her best friend since kindergarten. Cusack introduced all of them to council individually after a video celebrating her years in public
office. The county also made a video for Patterson, but he chose to view it later with his wife, who was unable to attend the meeting. Cusack served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2000 to 2008, and Patterson served in the state House from 1998 to 2000 and then from 2002 to 2010. Cusack was elected to the County Council in 2011. Patterson was first elected in 1995, and later in 2013. Interim County Manager George Recktenwald said that when he thinks of Patterson, the words “statesman” and “professional” come to mind. For Cusack, he thinks “class and inspiration.” County Chief Financial Officer Donna de Peyster said she believes their journey doesn’t end here, and that both will stay involved in the community. “I don’t know two people who have enriched this council and have enriched this community as much as you two have,” de Peyster
said. Councilwoman Billie Wheeler said “people have it wrong” in that they don’t see all the things Cusack and Patterson have accomplished behind the scenes in the community. She also thanked Cusack for being there for her while she grieved the death of her husband. “I can’t tell you how much I respect you, and I love you,” Wheeler said. “And we know how hard it is to serve sometimesungrateful people, but we know that we were here for a reason.” That reason is seeing the good in people and wanting to serve them, she said. Councilwoman Deb Denys said that what the council is losing with their departure is institutional knowledge. She also said that what they do is all about leadership and integrity. “We are losing two great sources of wisdom and knowledge,” Councilman Fred Lowry said. Councilwoman Heather Post
said she admires how Cusack stands by her convictions and for people who have no voice. She said she also took note of what Patterson did behind the scenes, and that both are things she wishes to emulate in her own service. “They both serve, and have served, for the right reasons that I think people should serve in elected office,” Kelley said. “And that is to serve, not to try to be somebody. We all are somebody to start with.” Cusack and Patterson have served together for close to 12 years, combined with their time in the Legislature. Patterson compared serving in office to flying an airplane. “You have hours and hours of boredom interspersed with moments of sheer terror,” he said. Cusack said it has been a pleasure to serve with the rest of the council members, and that it has been a positive experience. “Dreams, they really do come true,” Cusack said.

There may be a few more places in town to get a mixed drink, if the City Commission follows through with a recommendation made by the Planning Board at their Dec. 13 meeting. At the request of an attorney representing Tipsy Taco Cantina, 746 S. Atlantic Ave., the board members voted to recommend changing the city code regarding alcoholic beverage licenses to match changes made by the state of Florida in 2016. The City Commission will vote on the change in two readings, Jan. 23 and Feb. 5. The city requirement to serve spirits now states that an establishment must have 2,500 square feet and 150 seats. The revised requirement states the business must have 2,500 square feet and is equipped to serve 150 persons, which means it has an allowed fire occupancy for 150 persons and not necessarily that many seats. The new law also allows outdoor dining areas to be included in the square footage.
Board member G.G. Galloway said he approved making the change, saying it may result in high-quality restaurants opening in the city. City staff recommended approval of the change, and City Attorney Randy Hayes said it was really a housekeeping matter because the city should change the ordinance to match the state. Also at the meeting, Planning Director Steve Spraker said next year they will probably be looking at food trucks and medical marijuana, which will be topics for City Commission workshops early in the year.

Ormond family carries on tradition of helping the homeless Family Renew aids families with children.

REAL ESTATE EDITOR
Helping homeless families is a tradition for an Ormond Beach family. Tom Ritzi, of Ritzi Jewelers, helped start Family Renew Community in 1989, and now, his grandson, Colin Gray, has been named treasurer for 2019, the 30th anniversary of the organization. Family Renew Community stabilizes homeless families or single parents with children by providing them with temporary housing and helping them become selfsupporting. Tom Ritzi’s widow, Ann Ritzi, was at the Family Renew annual luncheon Nov 29 when the new officers were sworn in, including Gray. “I told Colin that his grandfather is smiling down on him right now,” she said. She believes that her husband, who died in 2014, is happy to see the family connection continue. “Tom had a heart for homeless people,” she said. Gray, also of Ormond Beach, has been on the board of Family Renew for several years and looks forward to being more involved. “It’s my duty to carry on what my grandfather started,” he said. “We’re very excited about the team we have in place. We want to make sure we have amazing projects to help these families.” He plans to use his skills as a

financial planner in his role. One of the new innovations is monthly giving, where people can have money automatically donated. THE BEGINNING
Family Renew was founded by the late Father Lawrence Redmond, pastor of Prince of Peace Catholic Church, who asked Tom Ritzi to help him develop his idea to help homeless families. Cindy Ritzi, Tom’s daughter and Colin Gray’s mother, said Father Redmond recognized Ritzi’s business acumen, and asked him to write a business plan. She remembers going with her father to churches in the area to solicit sponsorships. He was successful in getting 18 churches to get the project started. Gray said it was unheard of at
the time. “He got together 18 churches, different denominations, all with a common goal,” he said. Family Renew was a family project for many years. Tom Ritzi was the president for the first five years. Cindy Ritzi has been involved with fundraising through the years, and she has a picture of Colin at the age of 3, sitting in front of the first Family Renew facility in Holly Hill. The whole family was involved in restoring an old motel for family housing. Gray remembers the ice cream socials, which continue to be one of the biggest fundraisers. “I thought they were great as a kid,” he said. “You could have all the ice cream and cake you could eat.” He also remembers attending
An important fund-raising source for Family Renew is the Secret Attic Thrift Shop, located in Granada Plaza. In addition to raising money, the donations of household items furnish all 32 resident families. Denise O’Toole Kelly, development director, said when families move out of Family Renew, they are allowed to take everything except beds and major appliances, so new donations are always needed. Area churches still support the organization, but O’Toole Kelly said there is no faith-based component in the programs. “Our faith is our motivation for what we do,” she said. Their main source of financial support comes from individual donors. They currently have a drive to raise $30,000 by the end of the year, and had raised $21,000 as of Dec. 15. The Ormond Beach churches that presently support Family Renew are Calvary Christian Center, Christ Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist Church, Ormond Beach Presbyterian, Prince of Peace, Riverview United Methodist, St. Brendan Catholic Church, St. James Episcopal, Temple Beth-El, Tomoka United Methodist and Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ormond Beach.
HIGH SUCCESS RATE
Case managers help parents with job seeking and identify skills or education they need, such as budgeting classes. “We’re a hand-up not a handout,” O’Toole Kelly said. On Jan. 20, 2017, the organization started tracking families and have found that 96% of those helped since then still have stable housing. They plan to continue tracking to watch the success rate long term. “They are doing a really good job,” Cindy Ritzi said. O’Toole Kelly said they plan several events for their 30th anniversary year, including open houses. Family Renew Community has residences in Holly Hill, Daytona Beach and DeLand. The administrative office is at 810 Ridgewood Ave., Holly Hill. Visit familyrenew.org or call 386-239-0861.

Prince of Peace expands food pantry

Volunteers John McCarthy, Jim Weite, Elena Torres, Director of Social Services Gretel Abad Ostrowski and volunteer Marieta Hartman inside Prince of Peace Social Services ministry’s new pantry space.
Now, trucks are able to unload just behind the new pantry room. “To me, this is the best part of the whole construction project,” Ostrowski said. According to a press release, in 2017, Prince of Peace distributed 5,785 bags of food, 389 clothing vouchers and 319 shelter vouchers. It also provided families with assistance to pay over 100 utility bills. Ostrowski said this is part of their Catholic faith, and while they know it’s not addressing the root cause of poverty — which she said is very much present in Ormond — it’s helping the symptoms. “What jobs pay in this area is not always a living wage, where you can work full-time and not have enough for the basics in your family,” Ostrowski said. “So that’s where we come in.”

housed in a classroom, and storage space was limited. “It was a gymnastic kind of event to try to get the food on there,” Ostrowski said. Volunteer Jim Weite remembers those days. He began helping out in the food pantry over 11 years ago, starting as a bagger and then progressively getting more involved with ordering food and picking it up. It’s almost turned into a full-time job, he said. Over the years, the ministry has gone from buying about $300 a week in groceries to now almost $1,000. “It’s come a long way,” Weite said. There just wasn’t enough room in the old location, and it was very labor intensive for their volunteers, Ostrowski said. They had to unload food in the sidewalk and wheel it down long hallways.

Gretel Abad Ostrowski is proud of the widespread support by parishioners of the Prince of Peace Catholic Church for aiding those in need in Ormond Beach. Thanks to the over 120 volunteers and numerous donations, the social services ministry is able to feed about 500 families a month. And now with the new addition on the church’s campus that houses a bigger food pantry, Ostrowski, director of social services, is looking forward to being able to help more. “There’s no way that one person could do this,” Ostrowski said. “Together, we’re doing it based in our faith. We believe that as a group, when we make this possible, that we’re acting as the body of Christ.” The new space was blessed by Pastor Bill Zamborsky on Sunday, Dec. 2. The $1.2 million project also included a large meeting room, an addition to the Prince of Peace Like New Shop and a new chapel, which will open in January. The project had been in the works since the early 2000s, Ostrowski said, but fundraising began in earnest in 2008 and was meant to be completed at the same time as the Like New Shop; however, due to the recession, Prince of Peace was only able to open the thrift shop in 2014. It all worked out, though, as the thrift shop’s success tripled since moving from the Tomoka Plaza to its new building — customers and donations included. The food pantry was the brainchild of parishioners Norma Gault and Pauline Schariter, who began the social services ministry in 1985. The food pantry was

Dear Editor: I guess Commissioner Troy Kent is so fascinated by his vision of having a concrete pier like the one he remembers from his youth in California, that he forgot to read the weather report. You know, the one provided by the scientific community under the heading “Global Warming.” We aren’t going to need a pier, Mr. Kent, we’re going to need a wall. He thinks it will really enhance our beachside. He thinks wrong. Beaches don’t need to be enhanced. They are perfectly beautiful the way they are. He already has naming rights in his head. I bet his vision includes the sign, “Kent Pier,” flashing in colored neon at night. If he’s looking for his legacy, then let him sell the idea of changing the name of the Kelley Dog Park to Kent Dog Park. Win-win! He’d have his trophy, and we taxpayers would only have to change a couple of letters.
Water Management District launched its winter “Skip A Week” water conservation campaign and is asking everyone to skip every other week of lawn watering. If property owners who irrigate skipped every other week of watering this winter, north and eastcentral Florida could save more than a billion gallons of water. Lawn and landscape irrigation accounts for more than half of all residential water use, so it is important to follow year-round watering restrictions that help ensure the efficient use of water. Research shows that ½ to ¾ inch of water per irrigation zone every 10–14 days is sufficient during winter. However, if you see wilting blades, manually turn on your irrigation system, saturate the root zone and then let the soil dry, which encourages healthy, deep root growth. Skipping every other week is as easy as manually turning off your irrigation system. Using less water encourages roots to grow deeper, which makes them more drought-tolerant and less susceptible to pests and disease. Your help is critical in meeting the current and future water supply needs of our region. You can learn more about Skip a Week on our website at www.sjrwmd.com/ skipaweek. You’ll also find tips on year-round water conservation and efficient irrigation at www.sjrwmd.com/waterconservation.

COPS CORNER DEC. 5
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT? 6:50 p.m. — 100 block of Pergola Place Petit theft. A local pizza joint pressed charges against a 35-year-old Ormond Beach woman who refused to pay for a pizza she ordered for delivery. The woman complained that the pizza was undercooked and that she should have gotten a free one, according to police. However, this happened during the second time the pizza delivery man arrived at her home for payment; She had told him initially that she paid by credit card over the phone. The owner of the restaurant contacted police, and an officer arrived at her home to investigate the conflict. According to the police report, she continued to argue with the officer until bringing the pizza box to the door and asking him to hand it back for her. The officer told her the owner just wanted payment. The large pepperoni pizza cost $14.99. “They can take me to small
claims court,” the woman said. The woman then accused the officer of sleeping with the restaurant owner.
DEC. 9
DEAL-BREAKER 8 p.m. — 100 block of North Yonge Street Battery touch. Police arrested a 59-year-old Ormond Beach who shoved his girlfriend and sprayed her with a garden hose after having an argument at a restaurant over her not helping a man having a medical episode near her. The victim, who is a nurse, told police she had her back to that man and never knew what was happening. The couple had met on an online dating site and was dating for three weeks before this incident. The argument caused the man to break up with her, and he drove her back to his home to pick up her things. Once there, she spilled a box of condoms on his bed and told him “good luck with his life in the bedroom,” police report. She said the man became angry and pushed her with his hands, and sprayed her back with his hose as
she left. The man told police he never touched her.
DEC. 13
‘CATCH THIS FADE’ 12:04 a.m. — 500 block of Collins Street Battery touch. A 26-year-old man was arrested after confronting ones of his roommates, bumping him chest-to-chest and taunting him to “catch this fade,” police report. The trendy phrase means, “I’m going to beat you up.” Police had arrived at their home the night before responding to a call by the man’s roommates, who said he was drunk and had started a verbal argument with the above-mentioned roommate. Police report the man had grabbed a pan of food away from the roommate and began to push him. The roommate declined to press charges then, asking police to give the man a ride to his mother’s house to sober up. Because he returned hours later and pushed him again, the roommate called police again. This time, the man was taken to jail.
VOLUSIA COUNTY EMS DIRECTOR TO RESIGN Under scrutiny for response times. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
Volusia County Director of Emergency Medical Services John Zaragoza was placed on administrative leave on Wednesday, Dec. 12, a county community information employee confirmed the following day. Zaragoza had multiple meetings with Volusia County Public Protection Director Joe Pozzo, where it was “mutually agreed Zaragoza would resign,” wrote Joanne Magley, the county’s community information director, in an email. She said Zaragoza is on administrative leave until the county finalizes its transition plan. “We wish him well going forward,” Magley wrote. Zaragoza’s position will be filled
in the interim by James Judge, director of Emergency Management in Volusia County. The county’s EMS has been under scrutiny for the past few months as concerns over response times and ambulance staffing have been brought to the table for discussion. The Port Orange City Council was so concerned about response times that it approved the purchase of its own ambulance this year. In September, County Councilwoman Heather Post was called “reckless” for stating that EMS was operating at a “scary” level and that ambulances are not able to timely respond to calls. At the council’s meeting on Sept. 18, shortly after County Council Chair Ed Kelley was transported to the hospital with a response time of 16-18 minutes, Post presented data on calls with long response times, which EMS Medical Director Peter Springer called outliers.

own 79-76 with 3 seconds remaining in double overtime, it appeared the Buccaneers were dead in the water. Moments earlier, Mainland seemed to squander its final chance to tie the game when point guard Jordan Sears’ pass ended up in the hands of Buccaneers head coach Joe Giddens. Many of the hundreds of fans who packed the stands at EmbryRiddle’s ICI Fieldhouse stood up, descended the stairs and left the building. Some Atlantic fans taunted Mainland’s bench as they made their way toward the exits. That didn’t sit well with Buccaneers forward Johnny Brown. “I told coach the game wasn’t over yet,” he said. “I just had to keep believing. I couldn’t give up.” Brown used every inch of his 6-foot-8 frame to fluster Atlantic’s Devon Robinson on the inbounds pass. With every second that passed by, Robinson grew more and more antsy. In a desperate attempt to avoid a 5-second violation, Robinson flung the ball at Brown’s feet, hoping the ball would bounce back out of bounds. Instead, Brown stole the pass, turned around to face the basket and heaved a deep 3-pointer from the left wing as the buzzer sounded — tie game. It was the second time in less than a year that Brown had stunned the Sharks. He sank a goahead layup as time expired to lift Mainland over Atlantic on Jan. 19. “I always tell him to keep shooting, even if he’s struggling,” Giddens said of Brown, who had only 7 points and one 3-pointer until that moment. “Eventually it’s going to go in.” Atlantic was poised to maintain its undefeated record. The Sharks initially sent the game into overtime due to a last-second 3-pointer by De’Andre Harvey at the end of the fourth quarter. But Brown’s heroics, and 37 points by Sears, lifted the Buccaneers to an unexpected 94-88 win on the night of Friday, Dec. 14. Sears was engaged from the opening tip. He scored 19 of his 37 points in the first half and connected on 13-of-23 field goal attempts, including four 3-pointers.
Mainland’s Johnny Brown points to the crowd after sinking a game-tying 3-pointer.
“I just had tunnel vision,” he said. Although Sears said it was his teammates who got him “fired up” to play, Giddens thought there might have been extra motivation for Sears to beat Atlantic, where he played for the past two seasons before transferring to Mainland. “He didn’t say it, but I could see it,” Giddens said. “His teammates did a great job supporting him the whole way.” He added: “This team is starting to come together. They’re starting to trust each other. I stress team every day. They did a great job as a team continuing to fight.” Mainland has won all three of its meetings with Atlantic since Giddens took over the program in 2017-18. The Buccaneers will have a chance to extend their steak over Atlantic to four games when the Buccaneers host the Sharks on Jan. 25. Sears is more than ready for the rematch against his former teammates, coaches and school. “Off the court, we’re all friends, we’re all blood,” he said. “But when we get between the lines, there’s no friends. It’s time to go to battle.”
“Everybody thinks we have beef with them, but there’s no bad blood. It’s just they have their boys over there, and we have our boys over here. Only one team can win, so we’re going to compete every time.” Buccaneers forward JOHNNY BROWN on Mainland’s rivalry with Atlantic

The participating children, all of whom attend one of the local elementary schools, boarded an Oasis Church bus at the Police Department and experienced a motorcade of lights and sirens while being escorted to Walmart. Once there, each of them was paired off with an officer and was given a budget of $100 to spend on anything in the store, courtesy of Walmart. After they finished shopping, the officers and children enjoyed burgers, hot dogs and sweets outside the store. This program is part of OBPD’s outreach effort in the community.

Ormond hosts 13th-annual Holiday at The Casements event Swinging into the holidays with Christmas tunes. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
Photos by Jarleene Almenas
The Casement’s Christmas Tree reaches the second story of the building.
With Christmas just around the corner, hundreds of people came out to The Casements on Thursday, Dec. 14, to celebrate the holiday early with eggnog, dessert and some of their favorite Christmas tunes. Presented by the Ormond Beach Department of Leisure Services, the 13th-annual Holiday at The Casements events featured The Moonlighters, a Daytona Beach swing band who performed 12 holiday songs that evening. Before the concert, people milled about inside The Casements, marveling at the decorated Christmas trees in the dance hall and checking out the gift shop. Suzana Petkovska and her granddaughter Alanna Petreska enjoy the Christmas tree display inside The Casements during the Holidays at The Casements event on Thursday, Dec. 13.
