WyoTech AMVETS post is one of a kind Officials say organization will help veterans and community. Chuck Solustri, military admissions representative for WyoTech Daytona, said 22 veterans across the nation commit suicide every day. That’s one of the reasons he believes the new AMVETS post on the school’s campus is needed.
“It’s another outreach to the veterans,” he said. Out of 260 students at the school, which is located at Destination Daytona, about 100 are veterans. The post that was started on Jan. 15 at WyoTech is the first AMVETS post in the nation at a

LABOR SHORTAGE By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Looking for a few good mechanics Wayne Grant
Manager Dennis McLaughlin and owner Eric Sewell are going to open an Honest-1 Auto Care shop in February.
Things have changed since the days when young people leaned into the engine compartment of a car under a shade tree, changing parts and fixing problems. Cars have become rolling computers, requiring sophisticated tools and knowledge. Unfortunately, according to Rissy Sutherland, COO of Hon-
est-1 Auto Care, a national franchise company, the job of mechanic still has the “grease monkey, blue-collar” image and is not attracting young workers. She said these factors have combined to create a nationwide shortage of mechanics. That’s

One of the paintings featured, “Folklorico IV,” was created by local artist Glenda Donoghue. It is the fourth in the series she has painted based on photos she took of a dance program in Mexico. Donoghue has been painting since she retired to Florida in 2002, and explored other media including oil, watercolor and colored pencil before settling on soft pastels. She develops paintings from her own photographs and enjoys the process of finding great photo subjects that will translate into good models for paintings. In the last several years she also self-published a few photo books, using photographs taken around the world as well as photos of the paintings she has done. The public is encouraged to attend the opening reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Feb. 6. Visit www.thecasements.net for hours and directions.

making plans By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Hospital names new administrator New leader tasked with planning future role for Oceanside facility. When Howard Perch was a student at Flagler Palm Coast High School in the early 1980s, he would often drive by the hospital on State Road A1A south of Granada Boulevard on his way to Daytona Beach. There was a sign for “rehabilitation,” and he said he would often think how he’d like to work there someday. “I wanted to be physical therapist,” he said. After getting a degree at the University of North Carolina, and working in the rehabilitation field for 20 years, Perch was recently named administrator of that health care facility, which is now Florida Hospital Oceanside. Perch, who has the ready, confident smile, and physically fit appearance that you would expect of someone who works in physical therapy, recently talked about his new job. He said his first task is to determine future plans for the hospital. While well known for the Florida Hospital Peninsula Rehabilitation Center, which includes physical, occupational and speech therapy, Oceanside remains a full-service hospital
with imaging, lab, cardio-pulmonary and 24-hour emergency department. Perch said it’s important for the large beachside community, as well as the many tourists and visitors, to have the facility in the location. They are licensed for 82 beds, and currently have 48 beds in rehab occupied and five in acute care. Perch said Florida Hospital administration believes the facility is under-utilized, and it’s his job to develop a business plan. He said there will be meetings with residents and focus groups to determine what services are desired and needed. “This is a tremendous opportunity to assess and identify the health care needs locally and explore ways to meet those needs,” he said. “First we have to make sure people know there is a hospital here. We want to get feedback.” Four years ago, Perch was manager of rehabilitative services at a hospital in Iowa, when he happened to notice an ad on the Internet for a similar job at Florida Hospital. After interviewing, he was hired as executive director of

rehabilitation services for Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center, which includes five outpatient facilities. He still retains that responsibility, as well as his new job as administrator of Florida Hospital Oceanside. Previously, Oceanside was managed by administrators at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center. Perch is board certified in health care management and is a fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives. Perch enjoys working in rehabilitation, calling it a “happy place.” “We say they get wheeled in and they walk out,” he said. The rehab department receives patients from all over the state and even as far away as the Bahamas, he said. It’s the only rehab facility accredited for stroke care by the Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilita-

tion Facilities in Volusia and Flagler counties. Perch said people that need rehab should approach it with an open mind and take full advantage, so they can remain independent. The goal is to return a person to their previous level of function. In addition to the physical therapy staff at the hospital, Perch said also important are the nurses, who are there 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He said they have a reunion each year of former rehab patients and last year 400 attended. “It’s like a huge family,” he said.

ON THE MOVE By Wayne Grant | News Editor
City moves closer to U.S. 1 agreement individuals have 30 days to appeal the approval. The U.S. 1 corridor has been a checkerboard of city and county jurisdictions, causing inefficiencies in delivering services, such as police and fire, and inconsistent regulations. Happy to see the plan move forward is the U.S. 1 Coalition, a group of individuals and businesses working to improve the corridor. Peggy Farmer, leader of the group, said they had a recent meeting with about 20 participants and reviewed city plans for landscaping the medians. They learned that the I-95 and U.S. 1 interchange will be landscaped.
“It’s exciting,” Farmer said. “There will be a single line of medjool palms along the ramps.” Hayes said some housekeeping work needs to be done in addition to getting state approval, such as working out the intenerate vendor agreement in the code. Properties with year-round businesses are grandfathered in for itinerant vendors, but others will not be able to have itinerant vendors after five years. Farmer said several businesses that have been grandfathered in are taking part in the U.S 1 Coalition. Attending the recent meeting were Destination Daytona

The crash remains under investigation.

CELEBRATING KING’S LEGACY
Like an iceberg inching its way down a mountain, the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement moved a little closer to its destination Jan. 20 when the City Commission gave approval to the comprehensive plan amendments that are necessary to implement the agreement. The city is one step closer to being able to apply its codes and zoning along the entire length of North U.S. 1, even in unincorporated areas. The agreement has been in the works for four years, including negotiations with Volusia County, and will now go to the state for an “expedited approval process.” City Attorney Randy Hayes said

and Harris Village and RV Park, both of which have vendors during motorcycle events. The U.S. 1 Coalition got its start when it donated a total of $20,000 to landscape the medians, and the amount was matched by the city of Ormond Beach and Volusia County. The Florida Department of Transportation is contributing $750,000. Farmer said the construction of the landscaping should begin in April and be complete by the end of the year. She said even though the landscaping is now “on autopilot,” the coalition plans to stay involved with the corridor.

It’s a great idea, and if it works we’ll have it other places.” AMVETS accepts all veterans with honorable discharges, whether or not they served during wartime. The organization provides scholarships, processes claims, assists veterans, conducts community events and supports other organizations. There are 79 posts in Florida. Allen Baggett, department commander, said it’s refreshing to see young people join the organization. “The average age of AMVETS is 65,” he said. “We need the younger people.” The WyoTech campus, which offers training in motorcycle and marine technology, has a lot of young candidates. Solustri, who travels to bases to let military people know about G.I. Bill educational opportunities, said so far 40 WyoTech students have petitioned for membership in the AMVETS post. The membership is transferable, so if a student graduates and moves away, he can be a member at a post in that location. He said veterans miss the camaraderie and teamwork they had in the service, and sometimes feel lost when they get out. The post on campus will provide an opportunity for the vets to work on community projects together, such as helping Habitat for Humanity and conducting motorcycle rides for charity. “They really want to give back to the community,” he said. Several AMVETS state officials attended a ceremony on Jan. 15 to inaugurate the post. It was held at a memorial in back of the school that was built by students to honor veterans. Charley Sikes, an instructor, said the

WYOTECH LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE AFTER ROCKY YEAR
Kareena Salter, president of WyoTech, said the school is still going strong after a year of allegations that resulted in Corinthian Colleges, a California company, reaching a deal with the U.S. Dept. of Education to sell its 56 WyoTech schools, including WyoTech Daytona. Corinthian had been placed on oversight by the department after concerns of faulty job placement data being marketed to students. The closing is planned to take place on Feb. 5. Salter said she is looking forward to working for the new owner, ECMC Group, a nonprofit company that collects student debt for the government. “It’s a win for the school and the community,” she said. “We do a lot of volunteering for the community and employ 80 people at our campus.” On their website, ECMC says it plans to increase affordability, accountability, improved job placement and individualized support. “This is an extraordinary opportunity for us to make a difference in career education by offering students a new path for gaining the in-demand skills and training that employers are seeking,” said David Hawn, president and CEO of ECMC Group, in a press release. As far as being under new ownership, Salter said they are “thrilled to be moving forward and getting past the negative press.” Salter said the key part of the allegations was when a former student said an adviser told him he would be a certified Harley-Davidson mechanic upon graduation. An arbitrator awarded him a settlement from the school. Salter said she does not believe the adviser would have said that, because the school has never provided certification. “Not once was this ever proven,” she said. “Nothing was ever proven in a court of law.” When students graduate from WyoTech, they receive a diploma, she said. Certification must be received from Harley-Davidson Corp. “Anyone who has attended WyoTech knows that our first and foremost focus is our students and always has been,” she said.
memorial provides a quiet place for students to be alone or talk with others. Sikes said having the post at the school started with the school contacting AMVETS. “We’re excited for the school, the veterans and the community,” he said. Military veteran Mitch Mouton, a student at WyoTech who joined AMVETS, agreed. “The service agencies are our best
friend when we get out,” he said. “They fight for our rights and help us find where to get help.” Kareena Salter, president of WyoTech, said she was thrilled. “This is groundbreaking,” she said. The post will be AMVETS Post 1966, because WyoTech was formed in 1966, Salter said. wayne@ormondbeachobserver.com
she said. Eric Sewell, owner of an Honest-1 franchise set to open in February at 720 S. Nova Road, said the perception of mechanics needs to be changed. “If you like to play with video games, we’ve got some high tech games here,” he said, referring to computer diagnostics
and other software. Sewell said many high schools have dropped vocational training, or haven’t kept their equipment current with modern technology. He said today’s mechanics need skills in math, science and computers. To attract certified mechanics, Sewell said it’s important to offer a better working environment, benefits and competitive wages. Along with hiring master mechanics, he said they will also hire some entry level workers, and help them get degrees and become certified by the American Society of Mechanics. Sutherland said the company offers an education reimbursement plan for people with the right aptitude and attitude. She said the company also is looking at partnering with universities to develop internships. “If we don’t do something now, we’re going to have more shops than technicians,” she said. Sewell, who also own two Honest-1 franchises in the Orlando area, said the Honest-1 Auto Care shop that will open in Ormond Beach will not reflect the old image of a garage. He said working conditions have changed and his shop will have a clean, attractive environment “like any other business.” The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports on its website that demand for automotive service technicians and mechanics should be very good in the next 10 years.

Board: Keep city-run gymnastics program The city is tumbling around the idea of a private company. Doug Thomas said he was glad the Leisure Services Board discussed having a private company take over the gymnastics program from the city at their Jan. 14 meeting. He said it reminded him of why he started working to build local sports programs in 1978. “Our purpose is to provide general recreation for the children,” he said. “We are a city service.” Thomas, a board member, was opposed to the idea of a private company taking control, saying it was the city’s responsibility to make sure all citizens had access to sports. He was concerned about a private company fulfilling that obligation. The city offers scholarships and reduced rates to those who qualify. In December 2012, the city put out a request for proposals to take over the program after finding that participation in city-run gymnastics had dropped off, but no bids were received. The idea came up again recently when Riptide Gymnastics, 1230 N. U.S. 1, requested the opportunity to partner with the city to provide gymnastics. The Leisure Services Board was asked to consider putting out a request for proposals so that all private companies could make a bid. Hollie Terry, co-owner of Riptide Gymnastics, said all citizens would have a chance to take part, because they have scholarships, just as the city does. “Nothing is sadder than seeing a child who wants to compete but can’t because their parents can’t afford it,” she said. Board member Pam Connor said she was extremely impressed when she vis-
ited Riptides. “The parents dropped the kids off and they couldn’t wait to get in there,” she said. “They jumped on the bars.” Terry said her business needs space to grow and wants to partner with the city to provide recreation. She said it’s hard to find a building in Ormond Beach with a high enough ceiling to practice the sport. Lori Tolland, who represents gymnastics on the board, raised this concern: “What if a company decides to close and move and take all their equipment? We’d have to start over.” But board member Mike Mitchener said if gymnastics participation has gone down over the past five-year period, they are obligated to do something. Leisure Services Director Robert Carolin said participation in all city sports has gone down in the past five years because of the recession, but is starting to pick back up. City Gymnastics Coordinator George Postell said there was a loss of staff a few years ago and the numbers went down because there were not enough coaches, but now he has an assistant and they will be able to accept more students. The board voted to not recommend sending out an RFP for gymnastics. Leisure Services is an advisory board for the City Commission. Their recommendations are sent to the commission, which makes the final decision. The city subsidizes gymnastics at a cost of $84,828 per year. All recreational programs provided by the city, as well as The Casements and Performing Arts Center, require a subsidy from the city to operate.

97 years, not a moment wasted
A granddaughter remembers her grandfather, after attending his funeral this weekend. If I was going to give you a tour of my grandfather’s house in Knoxville, Tennessee, I would start with the backyard. Magnificently tall pine trees outline the half-acre filled with wildflowers, EMILY BLACKWOOD bird baths and tributes to the lives of former pets. But the real treasure of Lloyd C. Blackwood’s backyard was his garden. Rows of green beans, cucumbers, corn, jalapeño peppers, okra and my personal favorite, ridiculously huge tomatoes, were tended by my 97-year-old Papaw, until his final days. Even as he was lying in his hospital bed, he was questioning my grandma (or Pokey, as I call her), asking her who would prep the garden for the upcoming season. But the garden wasn’t for his own benefit; one year he donated food to 63 families. His constant giving wasn’t something I just saw in the garden. Papaw was known for keeping a handful of Dove chocolates in his pocket to pass out to people who need-
ed a little pick-me-up. In other words, if you ran into my Papaw, you weren’t walking away empty-handed. Papaw spent the majority of his life working and being on the road. He was a member of the Steamfitter’s Union for over 70 years, supervised the construction of two nuclear plants in Ohio and managed the installation of the heating and cooling equipment for the refurbishment of Ellis Island. When Papaw finally retired at 73, he wasn’t ready to stop moving. He began a routine that included gardening, taking care of two puppies and becoming established as a member and occasional preacher at his church — a place where his generosity didn’t go unnoticed. In my lifetime, I’ve seen a lot of older family members pass on. But there seems to be a great difference between them and my Papaw. Though his earlier life was always the subject of dinner table stories, and he was more eager to discuss his faith and needs of the local community. In the last two decades of his life, at an age where people are considered to be the least active, is where I think he shined. His church, Sinking Springs United Methodist, became a second family. Practically the entire congregation showed up to his funeral. Papaw at-

On my 18th birthday, Papaw sent me this photo as a reminder of my one true love, Tennessee tomatoes. tended every Sunday, where he would don a bow-tie and a fedora (he had a lot of style for 97), and look for an opportunity to lend a hand. When it comes to the idea of how to live a “full life,” I think my Papaw had the answer: generosity. To need and be needed are what keep us going with a purpose. So whether you’re 22 or 97, remember to never underestimate the power of community — or a piece of chocolate.
One of Papaw’s favorite pastimes was sitting at the table, playing solitaire against the only worthy opponent — himself.

by Dr. King. He dedicated his life to benefiting all mankind.” Parker, who presided over the ceremony, said she recently asked some young people if they had a dream. One dreamed of a day when people would get along and stop all the violence. “I noted that the dream hasn’t changed much,” she said. In his speech, Davidson said King was one of the most inspiring persons in history, whose life was full of passion and dedication to freedom. He was a man of powerful words that will never be forgotten. “He was a catalyst for change,” Davidson said. He continued: “Miracles are the result of effort. How can you want change and not be the cause of change? The legacy of Dr. King shows what one person can do and what people working together can do.” He mentioned that today’s social media gives a voice to people, saying that one person with a computer has as much power as a group of protestors.

The Rev. Haywood Davidson, pastor of Historic New Bethel A.M.E. Church in Ormond Beach, said Martin Luther King Jr. Day may be a federal holiday, but people should be thinking of how to make good on his legacy every day. “My dream is that we can be better citizens of the community by getting involved,” he said. “We need to make discrimination not exist.” Davidson spoke at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast on Jan. 19 at South Ormond Neighborhood Center on Division Avenue. Sponsored by the city of Ormond Beach and VITAS Healthcare, the free event is organized each year by the MLK Committee, a group of local citizens led by Tina Carlyle. Representing the city was City Commissioner and Deputy Mayor Bill Partington. “Over the past 12 or 13 years, I’ve only missed a couple of these,” he said. “It’s a special day. I always learn something or something touches my heart.” The opening events included a stirring rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” by Christine Rowe, which brought the audience to its feet; a poem read by Carolyn Parker; and a singing of the National Black Anthem, which was written in 1900 to commemorate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Rowe sang two other songs during the service. Welcoming the audience to the event was Minister Gary Pelham of New Harvest Christian Church, who said King was divinely inspired by God to serve. “To be leader, you first must be a servant,” he said. “I pray you are all inspired

11:22 a.m. — First Block of Cypress Grove Lane. Fraud. The victim said he was selling some vehicle rims online for $500 and was contacted by someone named Steve. They only communicated via text message. The suspect, Steve, said he would send a check to pay for the items that would include the cost of shipping and handling. Later, the victim received a check for $1,670 that appeared to be from a business account. He contacted the suspect and asked him why the check was so large. The suspect said if it’s too large, he should deposit the check and then return the remainder of the funds along with the rims. The victim took the check to the bank and found out it was fraudulent and the account did not exist. Photos of the check and envelope were placed into evidence.
7:50 p.m. — First Block of North Yonge Street. Possession of Narcotics with Intent to Sell. Police were dispatched to a service station in reference to a suspicious person. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the suspects, a male and femaie. The male had a Mohawk haircut, numerous tattoos, and was shirtless and barefoot. The officer noted they appeared to be jittery, paranoid and were fidgeting. The clerk in the station said the male tried to purchase items with a handful of marijuana, but he told him no and called police. The officer smelled marijuana and asked the male if he could search him, but he did not find anything. When asked why he smelled so much like marijuana, the male said, “because I have some on me.” The officer asked him to pull it out. The suspect then reached into the rear of his pants, pulled out several small nuggets of green, leafy substance and placed them on the police car. After making a field test to determine if it was marijuana, the officer placed him in the back of the patrol vehicle. Asked for identification, the female walked over to their rental vehicle and removed their two driver’s licenses. They agreed to answer questions. The male attempted to tell where several meth labs were located but did not make sense. In the rental car, the officer found Sudafed, nasal decongestant, insulin syringes, amphetamine, ADHD medication, less than a gram of crack cocaine, a small glass pipe, digital scales, metal grinder, lithium batteries, throwing knives and other suspicious items. Since the male’s name was on the rental agreement, he was arrested. The female was released.

Seabreeze’s Ryan Fulcher

Fulcher chosen to play for USA
Seabreeze offensive tackle Ryan Fulcher has been selected by USA Football to represent the United States in an international game against Canada on Jan. 30, at the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. A junior, Fulcher previously participated in the USA Football regional development camp in July in Towson, Maryland, and the Oregon Ducks football camp in Eugene, Oregon, in June 2012. Fulcher was a starter at offensive tackle on the original Ormond Beach Pride varsity team that went 10-1 and placed third in the Southeast region in the fall of 2011.
Mainland tops ’Breeze in hoops
The Buccaneers repaid Seabreeze with a 71-66 win Friday, Jan. 16. A little over a month ago, the Sandcrabs embarrassed Mainland, 73-38, before Mainland’s football players joined the team. On Jan. 16, Denzel Houston led all scorers with 22 points, making four 3-pointers, and Alex Fritch added 15, hitting three more from downtown. Terrell Ivey led Seabreeze with 17 points, and Kaeylin Jones and Jimmie Hawkins added 14 each.

fter watching many of his family members and friends get killed in gang turf wars, Terrell Ivey knew it was time to leave that life and pursue a different dream by making money the right way. Ivey was introduced to the gang life by his older brother and cousins when he was 11 years old in Fort Pierce. But after moving to Buffalo, New York, to live with his mother, he began to see the worst that that life had to offer. “I was always partying with drug dealers, and I was around a lot of shootings,” Ivey said. “I saw my best friend get shot and killed. It’s only so much you can take, once you see all your loved ones get hurt over nonsense like street names and colors.” His eyes were opened more to the negativity of gang life, when on his 14th birthday, one of his cousins got arrested, and the police officers tried to involve him in the crime. Though both were ultimately cleared, Ivey was alarmed. “That scared me,” Ivey added. “It wasn’t worth the money, anymore, that I was making in the street, which is every gangbanger’s goal. I figured I can start making money by pursuing a dream doing it the right way.” After a year in Buffalo, Ivey’s mother sent him back to Florida to Daytona Beach, because life had gotten too dangerous

for him, and she feared that he would eventually die or get seriously hurt, so Ivey started going to Seabreeze High School, where he met Pepper Johnson, the basketball coach. “When I met and talked with Coach Johnson, he showed me that I was, now, in a better environment,” Ivey said, “I began to be thankful that I had left that gang life in Buffalo, and was surrounded by people who cared about me at Seabreeze.” According to Ivey, Johnson said he would do everything in his power to make sure Ivey graduated and succeeded in life, and Johnson has been doing just that. Now a senior, Ivey has emerged into one of the area’s best basketball players, averaging over 18 points, seven rebounds and over two blocks per game, all in the Top 10, according to the Daytona Beach-News Journal’s area stats. While Ivey has led Seabreeze to one of the best records in its district, his biggest accomplishment, thus far, came this past week, when he made the honor roll for the first time in his life. “I felt amazing because I never thought I would be focused enough in school to get those grades,” Ivey said. “I took two honors courses and no electives, so I was excited to see myself reach one of the goals that I had established for my senior year.

Mainland’s special team’s coach Dan Lundy will be hosting his second-annual Bud Asher’s Kick Back To Central Florida Clinic, a free football clinic (kicking, punting and snapping) 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 8, at Mainland High School. The clinic’s staff for the event will inJEFF clude over 25 current NFL DAWSEY and collegiate kickers, punters and snappers, including Cairo Santos (Kansas City Chiefs), Caleb Sturgis (Miami Dolphins), Pat O’Donnell (Chicago Bears), Ryan Quigley (New York Jets), the Florida Gators specialists, University of Central Florida specialists and many more. Seabreeze’s kicker and punter, Sam Hayworth, who led the area in kicking and punting, praised Lundy, saying, “Coach Lundy helped me realize a dream that I never recognized.”

had a 3.4 GPA.” After celebrating for a moment, Ivey said that he immediately ran to show his coach, who has taught him how to carry himself and makes sure he stays out of trouble. “We always joke around and talk about my grades, but when I showed him how I did, he just told me how proud he was of me,” Ivey said. “He reiterated to me how he knew I was capable of doing well in class and that now wasn’t the time to let up. I’m even more motivated to do well in school now.” Though Ivey has come a long way from the gang life he was once entangled in, he’s not satisfied yet. He wants to get into college. With the help of his coach and his uncle, Steve Wilbon, who’s been one of his main supporters since coming back to Florida, Ivey has all the confidence in the world that they will be able to help him continue to pursue his dream, doing it the right way.

Faith Christian spoils Father Lopez’s senior night to play in that game,” Maitland said. “I just want to be a good influence for my school and my community, and I don’t want to wait until I leave; I want to make a difference now.” On what he will miss the most about Father Lopez, Maitland said he would miss the people, everyone from his best friends to the janitors. He said that everyone at the school is supportive. Having coached Maitland these past three years, Miller said about his star player: “Malik has become a complete player. He has improved his perimeter game, and he’s developed the ability to create his own shot.” The Green Wave has three games remaining in the regular season, and then they will begin district play. “We’re getting better defensively. We’ve lost a lot of close games, so we have to do better in the fourth quarter.”

After putting up a fight, the Father Lopez Green Wave lost to Faith Christian 51-43 Tuesday, Jan. 20, in what could potentially be the last home game for seniors Hogan MacIntyre, Malik Maitland and Brad Donley. Coach Eddie Miller, who has witnessed growth in each of his senior’s lives over the years, talked about the players they’ve all become. “We’re trying not to think that this might be their last home game,” he said. “But they work extremely hard, and they’re fun to coach. It means a lot to have coached them because Malik, Brad and Hogan have been with the program for three years on varsity.” Maitland led all players with 25 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and three assists, and Richard Perez added 12 points, four rebounds and three steals. As the game progressed, an exhausted Maitland, with a sweat-drenched undershirt, continued to lean over fatigued. When asked if he played harder because it was senior night, Maitland replied, “I try to play like it’s my last game every time I get on the court. We always play hard, but the other team was clicking and executed, and we didn’t make enough plays.” Maitland, who has already committed to Morehead State, was recently nominated to play in the McDonald’s All-American game in April. “It’s an honor to be nominated

hen Lisa Brooks began gardening, she soon discovered that her education would be a lot of trial and error. “I moved down from Vermont and realized everything I knew about gardening was wrong,” Brooks chuckled. “I made friends with my local nursery person. She gave me a lot of information, and I was using a lot of books. But I still had a lot of failures.” Eventually she found her way to the Volusia County Master Gardeners program, a demanding and intensive course that partners with the University of Florida. “People who have an interest in gardening usually have a specialty,” Brooks said. “So you’ve got the guy who loves this, and the woman who grows that. Eventually, you end up with this network of people to call on.”
Brooks has been a Master Gardener since 2011, and she credits most of her knowledge to answering the phones for the “plant help line.” She gave a talk about the elements of landscape design Jan. 15 at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum. According to Brooks, the five basic elements of landscape design are: — Line — Form — Color — Light — Texture “I like the elements of design, because it gives you something to rely on,” Brooks said. “The brain often wants symmetry, but it’s interesting what you can do when you try to be more asymmetrical.” Brooks urges anyone with plant questions to call the The Andersons’ yard was Master Gardener hotline at designed and created by the family themselves. 822-5778.

Over 50 residents came to the Ormond Memorial Art Museum to listen to Lisa Brooks.
One Ormond Beach resident’s considers her yard a work in progress.
Lisa Brooks’ common mistakes beginners make: “Not making beds for plants, and just sticking plants in the ground. You’ve got to think about the size of the plant, what it will become and what it will do during different seasons. Our slogan is: right plant, right place. You really need to know about your plant and know about your place.”
AMATEUR GARDNER CREATES BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE Susan Anderson doesn’t have any professional training in landscaping or yard design. But after moving into her current home in Ormond Beach 11 years ago, she said, she realized her plan of “a gorgeous pool would never happen, as we sit on a large coquina rock bed (so) I decided to embrace what was here to enjoy.” Anderson hoped to transform the yard from a natural look to something more manicured. Her current backyard has a long wall of coquina rocks that she and her husband have filled with ferns. They started gradually clearing out areas, and making paths to wander around edged in brick filled with stones. “Every inch was lovingly done by my husband and myself,” Anderson said. “Five years ago we cleared the largest natural area, and continued a large stone pea gravel area for a huge fire bowl.” Anderson says her inspiration is having different areas for dining, entertaining and planting. “I was lucky in the beginning to meet a great gardener, John Issac of Whisperwood Farms,” Anderson said. “He patiently helped with planting and educated me on so many do and don’ts. Where as I wanted an instant fix in areas, he was quick to remind me that plants don’t grow over night.” Susan Anderson is retired from 22 years with Volusia County schools and calls herself a plant nut.

‘OF CONSEQUENCE’
A PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTALLATION “Tar Sands,” Alberta, Canada, 2008 by Colin Finlay
The work of documentary photographer Colin Finlay will be on display at the Southeast Museum of Photography.
F
rom genocide in Rwanda, famine, war, ethnic conflict, cultural destruction and disappearing traditions to the fallout of war in Cambodia and Vietnam and to the environmental crisis of climate, pollution and habitat destruction and species extinction, Colin Finlay’s photographic work aims to put a human face on what’s happening around the world. “An idealist and an optimist, Finlay wants this work to initiate and drive, amongst us all, a healing of our selves, our divisions, our kin and to heal our home, this earthmother,” wrote exhibition curators Andy Patrick and Kevin Miller on the exhibit’s promotional page. But his work is not just images alone. Finlay had composed and recorded an entire album with his writing partner and fellow musician/engineer, James Saez, to go along with his photographs. “The creative collaboration between Finlay and Saez delivers a fluid, ambient and textural soundscape for the images,” Patrick and Miller wrote. “But Finlay pushes us even further, sharing his deeply personal journal writings, luring us to become spiritually invested in the journey. His images beg us to see deeply the souls of those for whom he gives voice; his music breathes sound into our emotions, and his words rip open the passage to the personal life of one of the world’s leading photojournalists.” As one of the foremost documentary photographers in the world, he has been awarded the prestigious Picture of the Year International honor six times. His work has been honored by organizations such as the Lucie Award/ IPA, POYi, New York Art Directors, Photo District News, Applied Arts, International Center for Photography and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. His photographs
have been featured in Vanity Fair, TIME, U.S. News and World Report, American Photo, Los Angeles Times Magazine, Asia Week, World Health Organization, UNICEF, Photographic Magazine, Communication Arts and Discovery and will now be on display at the Southeast Museum of Photography at Daytona State College starting Jan. 23. An artist talk is also scheduled for the opening night. Another panel discussion will be held 1-3 p.m. Thursday, March 26, with Finlay, Patrick and Philipp Ritterman and a musical performance by Finlay will be 7-8 p.m. Friday, March 2. Finlay’s work will be on display at the museum until April 19.
