Future cell towers will need visual impact evaluation

Land annexed for All Aboard Storage

Port Orange City Council, at the Jan. 22 meeting, voted 4-0 to pass an ordinance that establishes requirements for wireless communications facilities. The ordinance gives better protection of areas around wireless towers and safeguards residential properties. The ordinance will not affect what is all ready there. A hierarchy establishes guidelines for cell phone towers. Wireless companies need to put new communication devices on structures that can camouflage equipment, such as flag poles and palm trees. If camo sites are not possible, then new devices should be put on towers that are in light industrial areas. New requirements for setback from property lines were established. Maximum height for new towers are 300 feet. There would be a submittal of a visual impact analysis before any new towers are built. The area would have a wall or fence around the tower with appropriate landscaping. The ordinance updates technology development and keeps new tower construction away from residential properties. The city can hire an independent consultant to assist with the impact evaluation. The ordinace would hold wireless companies responsible for the fees of the consultant. Mayor Don Burnette would like the city and staff to review the ordinance every five years to keep up with evolving technologies.

Port Orange City Council approved the annexation of 3.8 acres of additional land along Taylor Road to an already existing commercial parcel of 9.5 acres. TANYA RUSSO STAFF WRITER

The Port Orange City Council voted 4-0 on Tuesday, Jan. 8, to annex approximately 3.8 acres of land owned by All Aboard Storage. The land will be added to an existing planned commercial development of 9.5 acres on Taylor Road, west of Fern Park Drive and across from the Crane Lakes residential community. Council members had reservations about the annexation, but thought it was better to bring the additional land in under city codes and requirements than to have no say in future site development. Before the annexation, the land was under Volusia County jurisdiction. “I, again, am just expressing reservations going forward with this,” Councilman Chase Tramont said. “I still support it. I’m glad that we’ll get to determine under our code. I just hope there’ll be some proactive conversations with some of our neighbors out there.” Like Tramont, Councilman Scott Stiltner was concerned that the developers needed to be mindful of the surrounding community through communication and participation. Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette said he struggled with developments like this when try-

want to maintain the right balance of commercial versus residential,” Burnette said. Councilman Drew Bastian thought it made sense to annex the smaller parcels into the larger one for the same reason Burnette cited. It allows the city to have a say in the codes and ordinances with which the developers must comply. At the Dec. 18 council meeting, information was shared about landscape design and how the property will be shielded from the street. Detailed information was not given, but there will be a security fence around the perimeter and landscaping will shield the buildings from the road. Landscape design for the development has already been created. Traffic flow in that area is considered low impact.

ing to maintain a balance between residential and commercial development. When developments fall under current zoning, the city has no say on what is to be built, he explained. “At least when we do these things we have a say so,” Burnette said. “I do like the fact that, since we know something is going to go there, it’s potentially low impact. That’s certainly a positive for us.” He also mentioned balance with the city’s tax base. “As we have residential tax base growing, if it gets too large, our residents end up taking too big a share of the tax burden, so we

Thank you, Mr. Ford

Friends gathered to say their farewells to longtime City Councilman Bob Ford. TANYA RUSSO STAFF WRITER

“He was a legend in Port Orange because of what he accomplished, Bob was intelligent. He was one of the good guys.” DREW BASTIAN, Councilman

The community of Port Orange bid a fond farewell to its longtime leader, friend, husband, father, former police chief and councilman, Robert Eugene Ford, on Saturday, Jan. 12. While people came to pay their respects to the Ford family, the remembrance service was really a lesson about how Ford touched people’s lives. It was a gathering of heroes. Members of the Port Orange Fire Department were solemn as they walked down the center aisle of the crowd, at Volusia Memorial Funeral Home, to make a presentation to the Ford family. The Volunteers in Police Service sat in one section to lend their support. Men and women in uniforms sat scattered among the crowd, as did members of City Council. It was a sacred occasion. The front of the room was filled with memorabilia from Ford’s life. Slide shows around the room displayed pictures. Ford grew up in an Irish Catholic family of seven. He was the oldest of five children, and the only boy. His sister, Genie Quinn, youngest of the clan, and now a teacher of gifted students, talked about how he both pranked the girls and protected them. She said that even as a child, one could tell Ford was different — that he thought different and was gifted. She said he disliked school, and she found it ironic that he ended up with so many degrees in education. Ford got his undergraduate degree from Niagara University, where he graduated magna cum laude. Ford received both a masters and doctorate degree in sociology from the University of

CITY HALL MOURNS FORD Longtime Port Orange City Councilman Robert Eugene Ford died on Dec. 22, 2018, following a courageous battle with cancer. He was 74. “He was a legend in Port Orange because of what he accomplished,” Councilman Drew Bastian said. “Bob was intelligent. He was one of the good guys.” Bastian called Ford a “straight shooter” and a man who was always respected. “Ford was a great servant,” Bastian said, “leaving a legacy that will last through infinity.” Ford was Port Orange’s police chief from 1986 to 1999. He was recruited by former city manager, Ken Parker. Prior to that, he worked for the Erie County

Illinois, where he worked in law enforcement while in graduate school. He taught criminal justice and research at the University of Central Florida until 2016. Ford’s innovations as police chief, his wit and sense of humor, “sparkling eyes,” and the ability to tell a good story were focal points of his eulogy. His leadership and consideration of his students at UCF was a strong part of who he was. His love of gardening, his devotion to his family and the people of Port Orange were some of the many qualities the speakers shared with guests. It was evident in all of the memories that he was devoted to Marilyn, his wife of 34 ½ years. Ford’s eulogy was abundant with memories of a man wellloved, a life well-lived, and a man who put service before self as his way of living. The service concluded with an invitation for guests to share in Ford’s favorite treat, Breyer’s vanilla ice cream.

Sheriff’s Department in Erie County, New York. His hometown was New York, New York. Ford had represented Port Orange’s District 1 on the council since December 2010. At the Dec. 4 council meeting, Ford could barely speak above a whisper. At the Dec. 18 meeting, he was absent. Ford rarely missed a council meeting in the eight years he served. “He was super tough,” Bastian said. “He fought, fought, fought. Cancer was not going to get him down.” Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette said Ford was “all business” in council. He was fiscally conservative and believed in transparency in government. But what most stood out to Burnette about Ford in the eight years they sat next to each other was his sense of humor.

“Bob was a dear friend and a great mentor since day one,” Councilman Chase Tramont said. He recalled Ford’s compassion for others: After both hurricanes, he and Ford visited people whose homes flooded and offered to help them, as well as listen to those who needed to talk. “He was the voice of passion for the citizens in the city of Port Orange,” Councilman Scott Stiltner said. When Ford was the city’s police chief, he hired a very young Stiltner, who at the time, was a 19-year-old rookie fresh out of police academy. Stiltner said they maintained a great relationship throughout the years, even consulting one another when they each decided to run for council. “Bob had the ability to debate

SPECIAL ELECTION TO FOLLOW The Port Orange City Council held a special meeting on Jan. 8, to vote on a declaration of vacancy in the District 1 position previously held by the late councilman Bob Ford. A bouquet of yellow carnations and daisies marked the empty seat where councilman Ford sat for over eight years. The resolution passed 4-0. Council also passed a unanimous resolution for a primary and special election to fill the remaining four-year term of the District 1 council seat. City Manager Jake Johansson outlined the dates for the election process. The city will advertise the position for two weeks, but effective immediately, candidates who wish to run for the District 1 seat can declare their intentions. The

topics and ideas,” Stiltner said. “He enjoyed discussions and different perspectives.” Stiltner said the Riverwalk Project was one of his and Ford’s proudest accomplishments. Once Ford, “got a shovel in the ground,” Stiltner said people could see that the project had moved forward. Stiltner hopes that it will continue to move in a positive direction for the future. “I’m gonna miss him,” Stiltner said. “The Lord gave him peace and rest. Bob was a fighter.” Within the past three months, Port Orange has lost three critical members. Finance Director Tracey Rhiem died suddenly following complications after a knee surgery in November 2018. Prior to Rhiem’s death, State Sen. Dorothy Hukill died in October from ovarian cancer.

qualifying period for candidates, will start at noon on Feb. 18, and run through noon on Feb. 23. A primary election will be held on April 30. If there is more than one candidate, a special election will occur on June 11. Candidates must currently reside in District 1 as well as have lived in the city for a minimum of one year. Johansson also said his staff is willing to sit with prospective candidates to educate them about serving in city government. He said Councilman Chase Tramont sat through many council meetings before he ran for office. The election will cost $40,000, said Lisa Lewis, Volusia County supervisor of elections. Appointment of the interim council position will be made at a special meeting on Feb. 26.

Staying afloat

Lisa Taber, owner of Balloons by Beth.

How the helium shortage is keeping one local party store down. A few weeks ago, the store restricted the balloons per party. Now, things are starting to look up.

ALYSSA WARNER STAFF WRITER

If you’re shopping for party balloons, you may find the prices are inflated. Effects of the nationwide helium shortage can be found here in Port Orange, including at Party City, Publix and Dollar Tree. Big corporations have other goods and services to keep them running. Not all small business owners do. Lisa Taber, owner of Balloons by Beth, moved her business in April 2018 to 3751 S. Nova Road and says the recent helium shortage has been a struggle. Since her relocation, many clients think the business has shut down. She said she would love to see her business thrive despite the recent setbacks due to the lack of helium. “Week to week it changes,” Taber said. “I don’t know what to expect.” Taber, who has been in the family business for over 30 years and only recently took over as the owner, is best known for her balloons. A few months back she would wonder if she would be able to get a helium tank every week. This made it hard to book clients, and she felt bad turning people away because of the shortage. Over the last month and a half the price of helium has tripled due to the shortage, leaving her with no choice but to raise her own

prices. “I can only hope the supply comes back and the prices will go back down,” Taber said. The changes in her pricing have caused some clients to turn away and she fears that could have a lasting impact for her shop. But, she also has over 250 costumes for sale and more for rent, keeping Taber optimistic. She is getting creative with her balloon arrangements and is having specials in February to offset the rising costs of her helium supply; her singing telegrams and “I love you” bouquets are options she is offering for Valentine’s Day during the shortage. The balloon columns, arches and swags are all made without helium and offered year round. She also crafts centerpieces and bouquets. Though the shortage is tough, Taber said, “it’s starting to get a little better.” She no longer needs to limit the number of balloons per party, like she did three to four weeks ago, but it’s not back to normal yet, either. “This is all we have,” said Taber of her supply. “I have to order a new tank soon. I’m dreading it.”

Owners Emad Kamel and Dimetry Ghabras are aiming to do what they feel is right for patients. JENNIFER KIRSHNER STAFF WRITER

Ten years of dreaming how to do pharmacy differently led two Port Orange former Walgreens managers to take the leap and partner to open their own drugstore. Emad Kamel and Dimetry Ghabras’ dream became a reality when the Port Orange Pharmacy opened its doors in October 2018, at 5820 S. Williamson Blvd. As veterans in the retail pharmacy world who have held management positions with local Walgreens branches for the past 20 years, Kamel said their vision was to restore “the old image of the drugstore.” “We are doing everything big box stores are doing,” Kamel said. “We are not competing, but we are different as we personalize the relationship with the customer, [and] we also personalize the need.” The Port Orange Pharmacy offers services customized to the patient’s needs, and several of them cater to the elderly. The pharmacy offers medicine compounding (the ability to prepare specially made medications for individual patients), and sets up a profile for customers with a list of all the medications they are currently taking. The pharmacy also utilizes medication therapy management, which takes a look at the patient’s medication profile, and searches for any contradictions or repetitive ingredients. Kamel said it’s a way for them to look at the effectiveness of the medications the people are on, and look into ways to save them money. “The feedback that we are getting right now is amazing from the patients and the doctors, and the traffic is growing day after day,” Kamel said. “People are welOpen Daily 10am-5pm

coming this kind of concept. Stuff that the big box stores don’t have the time to do, we do. That is why we are very successful in the early stage.” The Port Orange Pharmacy also helps elderly patients obtain coupons for medications via the pharmaceutical company or manufacturer, and helps take care of after-hours emergency pharmaceutical needs for hospice patients. It offers a $1 and $4 generic medication program, as well as dispensing medications for pets. The pharmacy offers free delivery for all prescriptions, over-the-counter medications and other medical equipment and supplies. Kamel and Ghabras also like to partner with nonprofit organizations for community events. They recently hosted free HIV testing and OneBlood’s Big Red Bus has come to the pharmacy for blood donations. They are hoping to host a mobile pet vaccination date in the future. “It’s not about financial reward, it’s about passion of what you do,” Kamel said. “What’s right for the patient? Let’s do what’s right for the patient.”

WOOD CARVERS SHOW OFF CREATIONS IN PORT ORANGE Wood carvers from clubs in Volusia County displayed several creations at the annual Friends Wood Carving Club Show, sponsored by the Port Orange City Council, on Sunday, Jan. 13, at the Port Orange Adult Center on Ridgewood Road. Animals, caricatures, birds, chains, people, bowls and fish, were among the creations that adorned the tables. The Friends Carving Club got its beginning from a man dedicated to the city of Port Orange, Wilbur Haller. Haller served as the volunteer fire chief for the Port Orange Fire Department for 18 years. He and John Thompson started the club in 1975. Haller became a friend and mentor to John Carleton, current vice president of the club and retired police officer. When Haller died, at 89

A brown rhesus macaque monkey was spotted Thursday, Jan. 17, in the Whitepalm Apartment Complex, in Port Orange. The monkey appeared to have an injured leg and was approximately 2.5 feet tall, according to an eyewitness. Animal control was contacted immediately and responded to the call, but by the time an officer responded, the monkey had disappeared into the nearby woods. There are prior reports of a rhesus macaque monkey living in the woods behind the Whitepalm Apartments, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s public information coordinator, Greg Workman. Residents were promptly notified by Whitepalm Management and were advised to take caution if they see the animal again. They were asked to contact Animal Control immediately and to not approach or feed the monkey. Monkeys can carry diseases, such as rabies and hepatitis, and can be harmful to humans. They are also aggressive in nature.

Taylor Road in Port Orange is now open Taylor Road was reopened at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 8, after being closed since Dec. 3, 2018, due to a water main break. The water main break eroded the ground under the bridge and roadway. Because it is a county road, the city and county worked together to repair damage to the infrastructure. Reports from engineers to the city revealed structural surprises at every part of repairing the bridge. Despite the challenges, workers were able to complete the repair and reopen the road three days earlier than anticipated. On Dec. 18. Brad Blais, engineer with Mead Hunt, reported to council that county staff decided that a bridge engineer was needed before demolish-

Workman confirmed the monkey spotted in Whitepalm is of the same species found in Silver Springs. He said it’s “plausible” that the monkey could have migrated to Port Orange over the years. However, “DNA testing would need to be completed in order to confirm.” It could also be a monkey that is established in the area, not one that is migrating. But, “I received information that there’s no escaped monkey from anyone who has permits to possess one,” Workman said. “We’ve also been trying to contact the individual that called this incident in to us and haven’t been successful in making this contact.” Whitepalm Apartments are located between Villages of Royal Palm Boulevard and North Summer Trees Road. If you see the monkey, please contact one of the following agencies: Animal Control, 506-5500; Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation’s 24-hour Wildlife Alert Hotline, 888-404-3922; Exotic Species Hotline, 888-4834681.

anyone. The clerks were able to flee the store unharmed, and police report the teen fled to a vehicle waiting outside. No cash or merchandise were obtained during the robbery. The vehicle was located by POPD shortly after, and the suspect was apprehended. Woods told police that he had tried to get the cash drawer at the 7-Eleven and that he was going to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who was in jail. The teen was charged with robbery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and depriving the use of 911. Video footage was also consulted, and the clerk positively identified Woods. In 2018, Woods was arrested for a similar incident at Mainland High School.

n a bright and sunny Thursday morning in the Spruce Creek Fly-In, Skip Simmons and 13-yearold Liam went fishing — or that was the plan at least. Following 20 minutes of no bites, Liam chose to leave his line in the water and go to the creek, where he wanted Simmons to help him build a bridge. After all, the point of the outing wasn’t fishing. Simmons, a Port Orange real estate agent, spends his free time working as an “undercover life changer” through his own nonprofit organization, No Longer Fatherless. “The type of activity is not important,” Simmons said. “The time you invest in a young man’s

life is what will impact his life forever.” Even though Liam was not interested in the intended activity anymore, Liam enjoyed spending time with Simmons. He didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. Simmons met Liam at the Meet and Mentor Community Learning Center in Port Orange 10 months ago when Simmons was teaching a 12-week program for the center’s middle school boys on leadership, respect and choices. “Liam and I just connected during the program, and I knew that I wanted Liam to be a part of our first one-to-one mentoring program that began in 2018,” Simmons said. Liam’s father died in the military when Liam was 3 years old. Today, Liam and Simmons have been building a friendship by going on weekly outings to the

SPREADING THE WORD

Recently, Simmons and No Longer Fatherless Board Member Chris Cardino spoke at an IMPACT meeting held at Mellow Mushroom. IMPACT is an organization for health professionals in Volusia County with a focus on networking and assisting kids in the community. Simmons and Cardino shared their organization’s mission and success stories to help recruit mentors and raise funds to support No Longer Fatherless. Simmons urged the crowd of medical professionals to help seek mentors in the community. “There is no shortage of boys that need mentorship,” Simmons said. “The hard part is finding enough mentors.” For more information about No Longer Fatherless, visit nolongerfatherless.org.

n the war on drugs, Volusia County is not exempt from the opioid epidemic sweeping the country. Dr. Ed Prevatte, a physician in family medicine at Halifax Health Medical Center, presented statistics about the opioid crisis in Volusia County at the Port Orange City council meeting on Jan. 8. He shared information about what Halifax is doing to combat the crisis. In 2016, there were 110 deaths due to drug overdoses in Volusia County. That number jumped to 150 in 2017. The same year, there were 620 Narcan deployments. Narcan is a drug administered to patients found unconscious from drug overdoses to revive them and save their lives. The age group with the most increase in drug induced deaths is 25-44. Mayor Don Burnette speculated that the number of 620 Narcan deployments is likely to increase in 2018. “You think about that, and it’s basically one in every 850 people in this county,” Burnette said. “And those are just the cases where we got there in time to deploy it. And one in 850 people — that’s a lot. When we talk about a health crisis, I think that qualifies.” Volusia is only county one among many facing this problem across the country. In 2016, over 11 million people nationally abused drugs, and there were 42,000 deaths. U.S. President Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a national emergency in 2017. With the staggering numbers of abuses and deaths reaching

epidemic proportions, national organizations have set new guidelines for health care providers. The Centers for Disease Control established new guidelines for safe prescribing practices. The Food and Drug Administration is performing a regulatory overhaul. The Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Hospitals has also made the assessment and management of pain its organizational priority. Locally, Halifax Hospital has developed a multi-disciplinary committee made up of physicians, nurses, pharmacists, research experts, patient safety teams and quality control experts who have established standards for addressing the crisis. The committee has identified best practice assessments and treatments to address chronic versus acute pain. Health personnel in the emergency room, inpatient and outpatient treatment have been given standardized tools to help assess pain based on functional impairment, levels of pain and other important factors. In addition, physicians now have pocket-sized guidelines for safe dosing, tapering off and finding alternatives to opioid prescriptions. Online educational opportunities are readily available, as are presentations by leading experts in the field of addiction. At Halifax Health, since guidelines have been established, the number of prescriptions written for opioids have been reduced. In the first six months of 2018, the number of opioid prescriptions written for inpatients was down 12.5% as compared with the first six months of 2017. With emergency room discharge, opioid pill

GRACIE’S STORY: THE LIFE OF AN OPIOID ADDICT Gracie’s drug use started out with a bang. In Virginia, in eighth grade, responding to peer pressure, the first drug she ever did was acid, a hallucinogen. She still has post-traumatic stress disorder from that experience. She progressed from acid to ecstasy in ninth grade. She was with a group of friends who were into the club scene, and she obtained a fake ID. At one point, she was in a car with others who got caught with marijuana. She went before a judge, who dropped charges against her. During this time, she and her friends would shoot up. Gracie (her real name is withheld) was a teenager out of control. Her unruly friends, behavior, and drug use led her to be in and out of the juvenile detention system. After several violations of probation, she was placed in a group home. During

prescriptions were down 28.5%. “It looks like it’s having the desired effect, and we are decreasing the number of opioid pills written for prescription and looking for alternatives to treat patients besides turning to opioids all the time,” Prevatte said. “What we feel this does is it decreases the number of pills out there in the public that could be diverted or misused.” Halifax Health utilizes tools

the time she was in the group home, she would have visits to her parents’ home, where she could find cheap highs by using inhalants and sniffing freon out from the air conditioner. Her parents did not know what she was doing. She had her first rehabilitation treatment in 12th grade. She was placed in an alternative school, from which she graduated. Throughout her 20s, she used all kinds of different drugs. She smoked methamphetamine and crack. It was in her late 20s when she started with opioids. A friend of hers, with whom she worked, offered her Vicodin, which she really liked. She started using it regularly. During that time she dated a man who was a drug dealer. He found a pain management doctor who would prescribe as many as 120 pills prescribed for them at a time. When Gracie and her boyfriend broke up, she continued going to that doctor until that doctor was arrested for drug dealing. The next doctor Gracie went

He would prescribe up to 160 pills without a thorough physical exam. She would take handfuls of pills. Gracie was a zombie. At the age of 30, Gracie went to rehab for a second time. Due to withdrawals, for a month, all she did was go from her bed to the bathroom. During that time, she was hospitalized for pancreatitis. Her fiancé broke off their engagement. He could not stand to see her like she was anymore. By this time, Gracie did not care about herself. She used heroin, opioids, smoked crack, drank alcohol. She did not care if she lived or died. She had gone through the whole week in a drugged-out stupor when she called a “friend” to bring some more “stuff” over. The apartment she was in had a security alarm system. She remembers setting the alarm, then let-

ting a man into the house. She doesn’t remember anything after that. The man threw her in the shower, turned on the water, then left. The alarm went off, which alerted the landlord, who called his daughter who lived close, to check out the house. She found Gracie unconscious and called 911. Gracie was hospitalized and in a coma for four days. Her immediate family was at her bedside. “By the grace of God, that’s what did it for me,” she recalled. “To see my dad, who was so loving and kind, my dad was whimpering in pain, ‘Please, please, I’m begging you,’ he said.” When Gracie went home to her parents’ house, they tried to help her. She did not want to go back into rehab. But she had met a girl in the last rehab who had been posting pictures on Facebook about how happy she was and how well she was doing

In Florida, Dr. Frank Farmer developed E-FORCSE, a prescription drug monitoring database that can track patient drug use.

at a sober house in Daytona Beach. Gracie wanted what she saw with that girl. During the same time, she got in a huge fight with her mother. Her mother kicked her out of the house. Gracie had nowhere to go. She slept in her car that night. Around that time, she told herself, “Gracie, you lost your engagement, all your friends and family.” She recalled, “Something changed from that night. I was finally, for the first time, hopeful and serious about getting better.” Since she has been in recovery, her relationship with her parents has improved. Gracie has become patient. She lives in a house with 10 other women. She is serious about the relationships she is building, especially with herself. She finally feels she is worth something. She is working to make ends meet, but money is not her priority. Living a sober life is. And finding ways to be of service to others.

“I want to show support for those who are still struggling, and those that have lost their battle.” MICHELLE LAMOIA, an ovarian cancer survivor

Close to 300 cancer survivors, friends and families ran to support Livestrong, a fitness program that encourages physical activity in cancer patients, in a 5k race at Aunt Catfish’s On the River on Jan. 12. After the race, which was sponsored by Volusia Flagler YMCA and Halifax Health, runners enjoyed a catered meal, live music and camaraderie among the other runners. “I want to show support for those who are still struggling, and those that have lost their battle,” said Michelle LaMoia, an ovarian cancer survivor. Melissa Cancio, also a cancer survivor, finished the race with the support of her husband, Michael, and her son Mason. Cancio said she was ecstatic for everyone who came out to support the cause. Livestrong at the YMCA is a free, 12-week program dedicated to helping cancer survivors reclaim their health and their lives.
