Danielle Segil and Michael Jaeger will be married in May.

The mural of local and national African American figures in society is painted on the South Ormond Neighborhood Center.

+ Almost-high school sweethearts reflect on courtship With Valentine’s Day coming up soon, here is a love story that almost wasn’t: Danielle Segil can remember meeting Michael Jaeger at a country music concert when they were sophomores in high school. They danced and flirted, both very aware of the spark they shared — until she told him that she just wanted to be friends. “We had a mutual friend there, Adam, and I asked him later on for Michael’s number,” Segil said. “He swears, at the exact same time, Michael texted him asking for my number.” Segil went to Seabreeze High School, and Jaeger went to Father Lopez. While Segil remained stubborn with her feelings, Jaeger continued to chase her for two-and-a-half years. “I just want to be friends, I just want to be friends,’ Jaeger smiled. “That’s all she would ever tell me.” That changed when she found out Jaeger went out with another girl. “I found out, and I shattered my cell phone,” Segil said. “I called my parents at like four in the morning crying, and I was like, ‘OK, maybe I do like this guy.’” “And I told her, ‘I thought you just wanted to be friends,’” Jaeger said. “It was funny.” The two started dating in 2009, and have been inseperatable ever since. Jaeger proposed on Segil’s birthday this past June in front of both their families. Jaeger is an officer for the Ormond Beach Police Department and Danielle works as a nurse for Halifax Hospital.

Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum: Now open

Community leaders gathered to celebrate the longtime project. After four years of having a living room cluttered with works of art, Cici and Hyatt Brown now have a place to store it for the public to enjoy. The Cici and Hyatt

Brown Museum of Art opened Feb. 8 to a crowd of city officials, local leaders and the many people who helped the Ormond Beach couple make their dream a reality.

“The collection that you’ve generously given us is a legacy showing over 200 years of our state’s history,” said Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner. “By thoughtfully se-

lecting these works of art, you have given new life to them. I could not be more pleased and proud that the 2,600-piece

PIPE UP By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Musician returns for hometown performance A Seabreeze grad played bagpipes at Disney World for 25 years. Gladys Holton and her son, Jamie, sit outside the family home in Ormond Beach.

Gladys Holton, of Ormond Beach, never minded the bagpipe music that her son, Jamie, played around the house while he was growing up. “I was a mother of five,” she said. “I never minded happy noise. It was unhappy noise that bothered me.” Jamie liked to walk as he played the bagpipes, and not all of the neighbors shared his mother’s enthusiasm. One neighbor offered him a quar-

Black history preserved in Ormond Two local women are documenting the impact African Americans have had on the community. Andrea Hall’s family has lived on Lincoln Avenue for almost 100 years. “I’m a native of Ormond Beach,” Hall said. “My father came from Valdosta, Georgia, when he was 1 year old. And I have to say, I’ve had a good life here.” Hall grew up during the Civil Rights Movement, and remembers moving from the all-black Rigby Elementary School to an integrated one when she was in the fourth grade. “It was basically accepted,” Hall said. “But it wasn’t an easy transition for a lot of people. At Rigby, we knew without a doubt that our teachers loved us and wanted the best for us. I don’t think a lot of us thought that when we went over to the new school. We lost that balance.” Now an executive assistant to Senior Vice President Hakim Lucus at historical black university BethuneCookman, Hall has made it one of her many missions to preserve the history here in Ormond Beach. In 1999, she led a community project to change a historical plaque that gave tribute to the soldiers of World War II. Her uncle, along with 77 other black soldiers, were not named on the plaque. “David Lewis was mayor at the time, and with open arms the city

+ Knights of Columbus begin annual Tootsie Roll Drive The Knights of Columbus Prince of Peace Council 8791 began its annual Citizens with Disabilities Tootsie Roll Drive on Feb. 7, and Mayor Ed Kelley was the first to make a donation. “I urge all Ormond Beach residents and visitors to be generous to the Knights they see in front of local supermarkets and super centers over the next two months,” Kelley said. The Tootsie Roll Campaign runs until March 21, and it is the Knights’ largest charitable fundraising activity, with all of the proceeds going to schools and organizations that help developmentally disabled adults and children. Most of the money is distributed locally, but some also goes to a statewide Knights fund to help the less-disabled who live and work on their own in noninstitutional settings. Last year, the special education programs at five Ormond Beach schools and The ARC of Volusia received grants totaling $3,800. “Through the efforts of our council members and the generosity of area residents and visitors, we look forward again

extraordinary people By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Carter-Scott honored for service The award commemorates four chaplains who gave up their life jackets in World War II. Dr. Michelle Carter-Scott was recognized Feb. 10 at St. James Episcopal Church for “outstanding community service and philanthropy” by the Chapel of Four Chaplains, based in Philadelphia. She was presented with the Bronze Medallion of the Legion of Honor, which is given to six people, worldwide, each year. Capt. Lou Cavaliere, retired, said he had given out the award many times all over the country, and very rarely is he brought to tears. “But I was tonight,” he said. He was referring to the concert presented by the BethuneCookman University Concert Chorale, which preceded the award presentation and contained several moving hymns. The Chapel of the Four Chaplains was started to honor the four chaplains of different faiths who gave up their life jackets to others on a sinking ship, the Dorchester, in World War II.

ors with their award. He cited the many contributions of Carter-Scott, including her work with the Children’s Home Society, Anchor Home Ministries, Wings of Hope Foundation, Dream a Wish, Habitat for Humanity, Family Renew Community and scholarship programs. He noted that the Stewart Marchman Act Family Service building is named in her honor. The mother of professional basketball player Vince Carter, she is also involved with the Vince Carter Athletic Center at Mainland High School. “Dr. Carter-Scott has given her life jacket to many people,” Cavaliere said. Larry Babitts, of Ormond Beach, a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, is a member of the chapel’s board of direc-

tors and has served either as a director or a trustee since 1962, when he and his wife got married in the chapel in Philadelphia. Babitts said several other chapel members live in Volusia County and the organization is just getting started in the area. The Chapel of Four Chaplains is a nonprofit organization that recognizes voluntary service, and promotes cooperation among people to honor the four chaplains. Babitts said in addition to presenting awards, locally the organization has been involved with veterans groups and the Council on Aging, supported ROTC at a high school and arranged to have volunteer chaplains in emergency situations. wayne@ormondbeachobserver.com

DARK DAYS By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Two men arrested in weekend stabbing at Destination Daytona The victim’s girlfriend said they had been drinking and doing drugs in a Super 8 room. A pair of 30-year-old men have been taken into custody and charged with attempted felony murder in a stabbing on Feb. 7 at Destination Daytona on North U.S. 1. The victim, 29-year-old Kizon Brown, was still hospitalized as of Feb. 10 at Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach. Randy Bartle, of Maitland, and Joseph Hutchinson, of Largo, were transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail at about 1:30 a.m. Feb. 8 and were ordered to be held without bond, according to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office. Spokesman Gary Davidson said Brown was listed as a transient from the Ormond Beach area. Police were called at 9:18 a.m. Feb. 7 by a bystander who was in the area for a motorcycle training class. He said he heard the victim calling for help. The victim was found at Ultimate Motorcycle Seats on Destination Daytona Lane. About 10 minutes after deputies arrived at the scene of the stabbing, the Sheriff’s Office’s Communications Center received a call from a woman in Tampa who said her brother (Hutchinson) had called and told her that he was in the Ormond Beach area, had stabbed somebody and was planning to take his own life. Ormond Beach police officers canvassed the area and located

Hutchinson in his work truck, parked at a motel not far from the crime scene. He appeared to have blood on his shoes and jacket. Ormond officers took Hutchinson into custody at gunpoint. While there, several men walked up to the area and were immediately detained. One of them was Bartle. Although in critical condition at the hospital, the victim was able to tell sheriff’s investigators that he met the two suspects on Feb. 6 while at a bar in Daytona Beach with his girlfriend. He said he and his girlfriend were looking for a place to spend the night and the suspects offered to let them stay in their room at the Super 8 Motel in Ormond Beach. Around 5:30 a.m. Feb. 7, the victim said the suspects decided to go to the store and told him to go with them. After driving around for a while, the victim said they pulled off behind Ultimate Motorcycle Seats, dragged him out of the truck and started kicking him. The victim said Bartle stabbed him several times in the back and once in the arm as he tried to clutch Bartle’s legs. The victim said that after the stabbing, the defendants got in the truck and drove toward him as he lay on the ground bleeding. He said the truck struck him in the

chest area and nearly ran him over. Then the defendants drove off, thinking he was either dead or was going to die, the victim assumed. In an interview with sheriff’s investigators, the victim’s girlfriend said that she and her boyfriend and the two suspects were drinking and doing drugs in the motel room. Afterward, she said, Bartle complained about the way Brown was treating her and threatened to kick Brown out or beat him up. She claimed Bartle said he would slit Brown’s throat if he laid a hand on her, and she told Bartle that there wasn’t any need to resort to violence. Early on Feb. 7, she said the three men left together. When the suspects returned to the motel room, Brown was not with them. She said she overheard them talking about stabbing Brown and noticed blood on their hands and clothes. One of them threatened her not to say anything, she said. During the investigation, Hutchinson refused to give a statement and Bartle said his recollection of the events of the evening was hazy due to the drugs and alcohol. The knife believed to be used in the attack was recovered during the investigation.

INBRIEF + Ormond officials send letter to state reps The City Commission has agreed to send a letter to state legislators in Tallahassee, asking them to not adopt an ordinance that would prevent cities from having a local preference for awarding contracts to private companies. At the recent meeting, City Manager Joyce Shanahan said that in 2010, the commission approved an ordinance that allows the city to award a contract to a local vendor, even if they are “a little bit” higher than the lowest bid. Currently, representatives in the House Government Operations Committee are discussing a new ordinance that would take away that ability. To become law, the ordinance would need to be passed by both the Florida House of Representatives and the Senate. “We believe it is important to maintain that local preference,” Shanahan said. Mayor Ed Kelley said he had asked Shanahan to create a letter. “It basically states that we want the right to do that and we don’t need the state telling us what we can do on our local projects,” he said. Current law prevents the city from having a local preference for state-funded or transportation projects.

+ Sheriff’s Office: ’Tis is season for tax scams

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office has issued a notice to remind income tax filers to avoid falling victim to scammers. Recently, the Sheriff’s Office has heard from victims who received a phone call from someone claiming to be an IRS officer. The caller generally claims the victim owes money, and unless he or she pays immediately using a prepaid, reloadable money card, the IRS will file fraud charges. One victim in a recent case paid roughly $6,800 this way before realizing she was getting scammed, according to the Sheriff’s Office. When she told the scam artist she was calling law enforcement, he told her to go ahead — he was calling authorities to file fraud charges against her. Scam artists have also been calling local victims claiming they owe utility bills and demanding the same kinds of prepaid-card payments. In other cases, victims try to file their taxes only to find out a scammer has already received their refund. The IRS is launching a pilot project aimed at protecting Florida residents. It allows them to opt in to receive a six-digit PIN to prevent criminals from filing false tax returns in their name. For more information, visit irs. gov/Individuals/Get-An-IdentityProtection-PIN.

+ City Commission seeks vendor for skate park The city of Ormond Beach has sent out a request for proposals for management and operation of the concession at the skate park that is now under construction at Nova Community Center, 440 N. Nova Road. City staff will select a vendor and bring their recommendation to the City Commission for approval later this spring, according to city documents. Revenue from the concessions will go into the city’s general fund, according to city documents.

MEMORIAL GARDENS PARK

Located at 78 E. Granada Blvd. and situated on 2.5 acres, Memorial Gardens is built on what was once a sand dune and is a natural ground that was gently developed into a park. Natural depressions were made into ponds, and the steps near the waterfall are seemingly the highest elevation in the city. Parts are landscaped and other parts are left naturally wild. Although in the heart of the City, walking the paths gives you the feeling of being in a tropical rain forest. The Gardens contain five ponds that are home to numerous turtles, frogs and fish. Aquatic plants such as water lilies and water lettuces offer food, shade and natural cleansing within the ponds. Look for marginal bog plants such as papyrus, bananas, ginger lilies and wild flowers which flourish near the three ponds that were formed by natural depressions. Visitors can enjoy the solitude of a quiet bench or nook or walk the labyrinth inside the gazebo which is popular for weddings and memorials.

She hired the suspect on the recommendation of a friend. She became suspicious that the suspect was stealing items because things began to be missing. She would be searching for missing jewelry and would ask the suspect if she had seen it. The suspect would always know where it was located. There were several times when the victim became upset about not being able to find jewelry, and the suspect would find it in a strange place that it would not normally be. Even though the suspect would find some of the jewelry, there are still many missing from the residence.

It appeared that the owner forgot it, because there were no cars around it. The officer looked in the purse for identification and found paperwork and a driver’s license for two different people. The officer located an address in Breakaway Trails, but the house was vacant and for sale. The other address was in New Smyrna Beach, so he requested an attempt to contact. He then called Publix to let them know he found the purse. One of people identified by the purse identification was in the Publix at that time.

Noticing that the tinted windows may have been in violation of the law, the officer initiated a traffic stop. When the car stopped, the front passenger opened the door and fled on foot. The officer ran a check on the driver and found that his driving privileges were revoked for being a habitual traffic violator. He had been charged with fleeing and failure to pay traffic fines. The officer arrested him for driving with a suspended license and being a habitual offender. The officer checked the window tint and found it to be 17%, lower than the 28% required by law. A probable cause search was conducted and the officer located a small white rock substance on the floorboard. A field test showed positive results for cocaine. In a post-Miranda interview, the suspect said he had no knowledge of the crack cocaine. The backseat passenger was in possession of a hypodermic needle.

BROWN / FROM PAGE 1 collection is available to the public indefinitely.” The Brown collection is the most extensive collection of Florida art in the world. Some of the works date back to as early as 1839 and will be on displayed in the six different changing galleries at the museum, located at 352 S. Nova Road. “I have no doubt this will draw thousands of visitors here, and make our museum one of the best in the Southeast, if not the entire country,” Volusia County Chairman Jason Davis said. “Cici was instrumental in improving the arts for our county.” Cici Brown was a founding member of the Cultural Arts Council of Volusia County, and served on the trustees board for Stetson University. Cici and Hyatt Brown announced the $13 million gift for construction in May 2012. “You all have been a big part of it, bigger than a lot of you know,” Cici Brown said. “This team came together back a long time ago, to see this project come together. It wasn’t easy, but we had to make it work. It took a lot of people to make it work. Don’t give us all the credit.” “The buildings, the paintings, the ambiance and the history has all blow me away,” Hyatt Brown said. “I’m a local, born and raised here. We continue to collect things, and this is a representative group. We have an agreement with the museum that every 10 years, the entire collection has to be rotated. So people will get to see every painting.” “The best thing for me is the reaction of the people,” Cici Brown said. “It’s been so positive. We’ve been excited for a long time, but to see other people get excited, it’s really special.”

Archaeologists inspect Brown property Ancient human remains were discovered on Hyatt Brown’s property earlier this year. Riverside Drive, the shady street that ambles by upscale and historic homes, is prime real estate. Apparently, it was also a desirable location more than a thousand years ago. Shards of pottery and shells, as well as human remains, were found after an 18-inch-deep trench was dug for a coquina wall on the property of Hyatt Brown last fall. Katie Kole, director of marketing for the Florida Department of State, said a “concerned citizen” noticed the work being done for the wall and notified the Bureau of Archaeological Research that he believed the area could contain prehistoric burials. The bureau then found that the site was recorded in the Florida Master Site File, so he contacted the property owner, Brown. “He was highly cooperative,” Kole wrote in an email. “We asked a local archaeologist to come and check the site to substantiate that it contained archaeological materials.” Ken Sassaman, a professor at the University of Florida, said he was called by Brown, who he has known for six years, to

help with the work. He said everything was done as it should be, with everyone cooperating. “The Browns are incredible stewards of Florida history,” Sassaman said. In a phone interview, Sassaman discussed several old documents in the files of the Florida Historical Society Archaeological Institute that provide a sketchy but interesting history of the site, involving a leveled shell midden, the historic name of Bostrum and a skeleton dug up in the 1960s by two young men. Earlier this year, archaeologists spent about six hours sifting through the dirt, Sassaman said, and found large hard clams, coquina shells, moon snails, various conchs, and a few small oyster shells. The pottery shards were not ornate, but rather plain and mundane and dated back to 875 to 1200, he said. It was not a controlled excavation so they could not determine any type of village. Sassaman said they sifted through about 18 cubic yards of dirt. “It was no surprise you’d find archaeological deposits,”

he said. “They are all along the river.” They also found a tooth and part of a finger, but Sassaman said human remains are also commonly found. Kole said the state is consulting with representatives from the Native American Tribes of Florida to determine a respectful disposition for the remains. In the early 1880s, the Smithsonian Institute recorded a 6-foot-high mound at the site, registered as the Bostrum Bear Tree Mound, on property owned by J.A. Bostrum. In the 1870s, according to historic records, John and Andrew Bostrom came to Ormond to homestead and built a residence on Riverside Drive. The report also stated that the mound was cut through by a road built by Bostrum. The files show, according to Sassaman, that the remaining part of the mound was leveled in the 1930s and that ancestors of Bostrum had found skulls on the property.

His mother was one of his first fans, and she’s happy he’s playing at the Performing Arts Center in Ormond Beach at 7 p.m. Feb. 14. “I’m just thrilled,” she said. “I’ve wanted this to happen for a long time. I hope we’ll have a good response.” Jamie Holton said he has loved the bagpipes since he first heard them. “I love what they represent,” he said. “I enjoy carrying on music that has such a rich history.” Born and raised in Ormond, Holton played bagpipes at Church Street Station while attending Seabreeze High School. After graduating in 1988, he started a 25-year career at Disney World. While there, he formed the band Off Kilter, and they were the house Celtic band at Epcot Center for 17 years. He is bringing Off Kilter to the Performing Arts Center, where they will play everything from traditional Celtic

to country and western and hard rock. “We try to run the gamut as best we can,” he said. He said the bagpipes can be a lead instrument, even playing guitar riffs. Now living in Orlando, Holton is looking forward to returning to Ormond Beach with his band, which includes guitar, drums, fiddle and bass. “My mom still lives there, and this homecoming is a thrill for me,” he said. In addition to concerts, the band plays at Celtic festivals and highland games throughout the U.S. Gladys Holton said her son first heard bagpipes played live when his dad, who died two years ago, took him to hear one at Bellair Plaza when he was 12 years old. Jamie was so taken that his parents arranged to have teachers for him. Their Scottish heritage was an important part of family life, and Holton was able to take lessons in Scotland when they traveled there. (His mother’s maiden name is Burns.) Holton said his career at Disney was wonderful. “It’s a great company, and it allowed me to travel to Tokyo Disneyland, Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong,” he said. He has also performed in Europe. While at Disney, the Orlando Fire De-

partment asked him to help them form a pipes and drum corps. When he met the firefighters, he admired their sense of service and felt a lot of commonality with them. “I wanted to be part of that,” he said. So he went to firefighter school and now has been at the Orlando Fire Department for four years. He said it has helped fulfil his lifelong wish to serve in the military, like his dad, who was a marine. Holton said he still has to figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. He’s been a musician and a firefighter. “Someday I’m going to have to get serious,” he said. “I’ve definitely been blessed with having neat jobs.”

newspaper article in the institute files. Sassaman said a Daytona Beach Morning Journal story told the story of two boys who excavated the site and found an intact skeleton. They took it to the Museum of Arts and Sciences and an expert there said it was an Indian, tall and well built. The story says the boys reburied the skeleton and covered it with red sand, but does not say where. Sassaman said the remains were most likely Timacuan. There are no descendents of this tribe, having all died from disease and warfare. Sassaman said by law the pottery shards belong to the landowner, but Brown has allowed them to be taken to the University of Florida where they will be curated “The interesting thing about archaeology,” Sassaman said, “is that you never know what’s under you.” Sassaman said the law states that if a person finds human remains, they must notify law enforcement. If it is at an archaeological site and can be identified as ancient, then state archaeologists should be notified.

HISTORY / FROM PAGE 5 embarked on the project,” Hall said. “They were willing to correct it. It started out small, but it ended up going clear across the United States.” Hall did numerous TV interviews, had a small mention in Life Magazine, and President Bill Clinton even wrote her a letter. “It was a good thing that it happened in our city,” Hall said. “It wasn’t done in another city, because black soldiers were not recognized back then. We had to do major research to make sure no one was omitted this time. Now there’s a new plaque hanging in the Ormond Memorial Museum of Art.” Still, Hall knows there is more work to be done. She was integral in helping put together the Black History Mural on the South Ormond Neighborhood Center, and she’s currently in the process of writing a book about the forgotten soldiers. “I want it to be geared towards what happens when we listen,” Hall said. “I don’t think black history in Ormond is as exposed as it should be, but when it is, it is always respected.” Hall is also a part of local activist Lori Partington’s African American Heritage Project, an effort to capture and document black history in Ormond Beach. So far, the project has focused on the Liberia and Sudan neighborhoods, African American communities founded by freed slaves between 1880 and 1900. “I realized there were so much that we don’t know,” Partington said. “I wanted to diversify the history of Ormond Beach, so it had a place among Rockefeller, Anderson and the native america Tomoka Basin. I felt like we need all people of Ormond to be represented. It’s my push to see something like that happen.” The project has been going on for two years now, and Partington said a lack of volunteers is the problem. She’s hosting a volunteer interest meeting at 7 p.m. Feb. 23 at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center Conference Room. Email her at partingtonlo.1@ gmail.com or call her at 405-3525. “Instead of Black History Month being celebrated on a monthly basis, I wish it was just in our faces all the time,” Hall said. “I believe a lot of younger black children, they do not know our black history. It needs to be more in our textbooks, schools, community and churches. It’s a huge responsibly, and it relies on the shoulders of many faces.” emily@ormondbeachobserver.com

Dear Editor: Bravo for taking such a stand against the Islamic terrorists. Your “Never Again?” editorial is a mustread for everyone, and I mean everyone. We are at war. Make no mistake about it, and you took it upon yourself instead of writing about local news to warn our country that we must take action now. There is no one: ”No other nation with the might, the ingenuity or the ability to muster the will, courage and commitment to do whatever is necessary to end the slaughtering of innocents, to destroy this mortal enemy of Western values and civilizatiion.” Because, as you said, “If not we, then who will stop them?” What a courageous person to say it like it is.

Dear Editor: I cannot commend you highly enough for your bravery, your honesty and the courage it took to print “Never Again?” I am sure your readership expects a weekly stance on the usual: construction on a roadway taking too long; or a plea for money for school sports, etc. For you to boldly state what many of our citizens think, and make a plea for action on our part, as well as our state and federal leaders, required courage. Congratulations. We watch in horror as the radical Islamists destroy civilization, brutally murder and degrade, and yet nothing is done. Those in government are there through our generosity; we, in the small communities, are the voters. We sent them there. They are required to do OUR bidding, not satisfy their own petty agendas, living in their own self-satisfying world. Yes, you are correct: Never Again! Yes, you are correct: If not us, then who? Can we possibly be so naive to think it will not come here? It has in the past, and it is only a matter of time before it comes again. And if not for us, do we stand by as it happens on the other side of the ocean? The world did that before, and shame on us for that. Yes, Never Again. It has been argued that we are not the policemen of the world, let someone else do it. But there is no one with the power; no one with the

A RESPONSE FROM LONGBOAT KEY + Stick to Cops Corner Editor’s Note: This letter was sent to the Longboat Key Observer, a sister paper of the Palm Coast Observer. Dear Editor: I write with no illusions of seeing this in print. Nevertheless, I was so upset by your editorial calling for all-out war that I had to respond. Your “Never Again?” editorial went way beyond the expected limits of an advertisement-laden, local weekly. It is wrong on so many levels that I don’t know where to begin. To compare ISIS or any other fringe terrorist group to Hitler’s Germany is not only out of proportion with history, but it diminishes the deaths of millions of innocent, Jews, Slavs, gypsies, homosexuals, intellectuals and others who were slaughtered by a tyrant who has no equal in infamy. Yes, we had 9/11. Yes, there have been gruesome beheadings. But most of the killing has been Arabs killing Arabs, which has been going on for centuries. Your call to arms is frightening. Pumped up by jingoistic quotations from Army officers, you call for all-out war, risking the lives of thousands of young American soldiers to fight a battle that you are thousands of miles away from. Why don’t you and your family move to the Middle East and publish your paper there? Because you, personally, have no intention of putting yourself in harm’s way. It’s easy to throw spitballs from the comfort of your safe office. You even pay homage to that great American Spiro Agnew by using one of his favorite words — nattering. The president is “feckless,” the Congress “afraid.” But not you and your warrior friends. The answer is always war. My advice: Stick to Cops Corner and condo ads. If you have to vent, write a letter to the Times. You can’t turn the Longboat Observer into a bully pulpit when all you have to offer is bull----. Jeffrey Meltzer Longboat Key moral standards backed by such power. It has to be us. On behalf of Jews, Christians, nonradical Muslims, any peace-loving people, we must all shout “Never Again!” And let our politicians know we mean it, before it is too late. Eleanor Fella Palm Coast

+ Shout the truths Dear Editor: I am writing to highly commend the Observer. The courage you have exhibited to print the article “Never Again?” is extraordinary. These truths need to be shouted from the house tops of every country in the free and civilized world if we are to remain free. I am the granddaughter of German Jews who realized what was coming in Germany and were able to escape before it was too late. They were fired from their jobs in universities and cultural arenas. Family and friends were murdered. My great-grandmother was taken from her home when she was 81 to be burned in the ovens of Treblinka. The losses and trauma experienced eventually culminated in my grandparents taking their own lives. There was a man by the name of Zvi Jabotinsky who went around Europe telling my people “the ground is burning under your feet.” Now it is burning under the feet of all who do not adhere to this

diabolical, evil and barbaric agenda. As a famous sage of Israel said, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I?” If not now, when? We will find ourselves having to take a stand, hopefully sooner than later. Thank you again. Iris Sadove Ormond Bech

+ President deaf to threats Dear Editor: My compliments on “Never Again?” You are correct; unfortunately, what you say falls on deaf ears in the White House. Our country is sinking in so many ways, including our prestige around the world and our military/defense here at home. Dr. Len Indianer Ormond Beach

+ Truth about terrorists Dear Editor: Bravo and three cheers and more for finally speaking out the truth about the Islamic terrorists and what we need to do about it. I had just about given up on getting any truth from the U.S. press. I have contacted my senators and congressman with my comments to your editorial. I am not sure it will do any good, but if enough of us care enough to do the same it may help. Gail St. Pierre Palm Coast

Dear Editor: Competing level one and two with local Ormond Beach children at the Flamingo Fling in Lake Mary on Feb. 1, along with other local gyms, Riptide brought home the gold on both levels! Riptide has shown interest in moving its program to the city of Ormond Beach’s gymnasium, which would immediately relieve the taxpayers’ burden of keeping the city’s program from dying and give the highly successful teams at Riptide more space to grow. However, the idea seems to be getting stalled by the Leisure Services Board! The city is facing an $85,000 deficit year after year with no relief in sight. Riptide Gymnastics is highly qualified, ready and able to run a successful, family-oriented recreational and competitive program on the city’s premises. It is very frustrating to see the people who budget the taxpapers’ money close their eyes to this proposal! Meanwhile, these children are putting Ormond Beach on the top of the gymnastic podium meet after meet after meet! Congratulations, girls. Your hard work and dedication are showing every time you hit the mats! James and Hollie Terry Ormond Beach

brainstorm By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Beachside brainstorm: what’s next? Businessman would like a more walkable area. Where else can you buy a coffee, submarine sandwich or ice cream and then have a quick walk to the beach, other than at the Granada beach approach? At least part of the trip is alWAYNE ways quick, GRANT because you must walk briskly across State Road A1A in the time given by the light. As you drive through the intersection of A1A and Granada, the ocean beckons, but getting there is not that easy, without driving onto the beach. Granada Plaza, the beach, and a retail area with a public parking lot south of Granada are separated by heavy traffic corridors. Local businessman Ron DeFilippo has done a lot of thinking about the area. Owner of Lulu’s Oceanside Grill and several buildings in that neighborhood, he said he sees tremendous potential. His restaurant in Gainseville, the Swamp, has the benefit of 50,000 college kids nearby, and he always thought the beach would provide a similar source of customers.

But while Lulu’s has built a steadily increasing customer base, it doesn’t see the traffic of the Swamp. “You should sit in a lawn chair at Granada Plaza and watch,” he said recently. “Visitors get of their car, take a picture of the ocean and then get back in and leave.” Easier access to the beach and a walkable area would be big steps toward keeping those people in the area, he said. “You can’t walk across Granada from Halifax Drive to A1A,” he said. “You can’t get across A1A without track shoes.” DeFilippo would like to see a way for cars to drop people off at the beach with their chair, cooler, book, towel, umbrella and sun tan lotion. His vision would entail a complete redesign of Birthplace of Speed Park with parking and turnaround area. For getting across A1A, he suggests a tunnel. He feels strongly enough about his ideas that he’s had them drawn up by architects in a plan called “Bridges to Beaches.” For financing, he suggests the tax money collected In the Granada Community Redevelopment Area that is used as grants for building improvements. Walkability is the key, he said,

Ron DeFilippo not only for attracting tourists, but also for encouraging development of townhouses, high rises or updated housing. Another idea for easing the crossing of A1A, he said, is to have a traffic cop in a box in the intersection like you see in other countries. “It would be so unique,” he said. He said the city should concentrate on the area’s development because the ocean is the big attraction of Florida. “People are like lemmings,” he said. “They always rush down to

BIG KID NOW By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

BITTERSWEET Nothing says Valentine’s Day like a bad date. I have a boyfriend, my nails are done and it’s nearing Valentine’s Day. I should be happy, right? But because of Gabe’s military situation, I’ll be patiently waiting by the phone all week to see if Uncle Sam will let him come home for the weekend. So I have to spare the sappy stories for now. Instead, I’m relating much more to the sad and scary dating stories from my past.

EMILY BLACKWOOD Balloons, nails

It was summertime,

the air was humid enough for me to start hating my hair again, and hot enough to make a big investment in pony tail holders. I was standing outside in a New Smyrna Beach field surrounded by hot air balloons. The tall man-child who had driven me here was lost somewhere in the crowd taking photos. Before I had actually met him, I thought it would be nice to date a photographer. Someone to take pictures with (or just take pictures of me) would be a positive change to the boys I usually hang around with that don’t know how smile without looking like a serial killer. But I quickly realized about five minutes into the date that my fantasy life would not be happening. I saw him bring

the sea. That’s why we came to Florida.” He also owned the Gaslamp Shoppes on Granada, just west of Halifax Drive, until he sold them last year. He sees that area as a potential place for welcoming people as they come off the bridge. His idea involves moving the two-story building that houses the Historical Society to the back of the lot, making room for a welcome area.

Mainstreet director responds

Julia Truilo, executive director

out his camera, and I casually stepped in front of the lens, glad to be his subject. “Um, can you move out of the way?” he asked. “I’m trying to get a photo of the balloon.” Between that and his long fingernails (he claims they were so he could play guitar, but I think he might be a vampire), I was done with this date about two hours before it actually ended.

A fancy dinner

I made the mistake of going on a date with a slightly younger gentleman a few years ago. He promised me a nice dinner so we can really “get to know each other.” Instead, he took me over to his buddy’s house where I was given a slice of ham and a Yoohoo where I watched them play Xbox for the rest of the evening. Story over.

of Ormond MainStreet, agrees the area has a lot of potential and points out one project this year that will make a difference. The median on East Granada will be landscaped in the same manner of West Granada. For the long term, she said Ormond MainStreet and the city want to encourage multiuse developments that would bring in retail as well as more residents. There are closed businesses and unused parcels that provide available space. She said MainStreet is in the planning stages of a campaign to catalog a list of sites and market them to developers. She is encouraged by a national trend where people are moving into urban neighborhoods, even in small towns, for the convenience of walking. The city has taken steps to encourage people to stay in the area and use local businesses. Signs were installed along East Granada Boulevard pointing to a city parking lot and shops. Vining Court was streetscaped about four years ago and more parking was added. For the tunnel idea, Truilo said a study a few years ago determined it was physically impossible, due to slope, available footage, etc. For walkability, she said the timing of the light at A1A could be examined, as well as the speed of traffic on Granada. Remodeling Birthplace of Speed Park, while possible, would be difficult. “It would take a lot of political will to make that happen,” she said. But she said people should make suggestions and get involved.

Screaming over ice cream

Being 15, I wasn’t a pro at dating just yet. I was out (and by “out” I mean my mom dropped me off at the movies) with a guy, and we were eating ice cream. As he was yammering on about his awesome new shirt that he justbought, I was struggling with a spoon stuck in my hot fudge. I yanked just a little too hard and flung a chunk of ice cream onto his new shirt. He never talked to me again. High school boys can be very serious when it comes to their new shirts. I’m happy to report that after writing this up, I got the call that Gabe is coming into the down this weekend. So I’m off to buy a bunch of conversation heart candy and celebrate. Happy Valentine’s Day, Ormond Beach!

Sandcrabs defeat Mainland but lose district title game

The Seabreeze Sandcrabs (18-5) didn’t win the district championship, but they secured a spot in the playoffs by beating their crosstown rivals, the Mainland Buccaneers (15-9), 50-40 Friday, Feb. 6, at Seabreeze. The two had previously celebrated wins on each other’s home floor during the season, but it was the Sandcrab fan section that concluded the game by singing, “Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye.” From the jump ball, Seabreeze never surrendered its lead over Mainland, running out to an early 7-0 lead. For much of the game, the Buccaneers often made attempts to cut the lead, but they always failed. The Bucs got as close as 45-40 late in the game, but Seabreeze knocked down its necessary free throws to win and advance to the District 5-6A semifinals and end Mainland’s season. “It felt good knowing that beating Mainland would put us in the playoffs,” said Alex Loyd, who led all scorers with 16 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Terrell Ivey also finished in double figures with 12 points. Cyrus Fagan led Mainland with 14

The following day, Seabreeze hosted Deltona for the district championship and came up short 58-50. The game was surrounded by much controversy, including a disagreement about Ivey fouling out. Multiple record takers had him down for a different number of fouls.

Loyd also led the Crabs with 17 points, with Ivey adding 13. The Sandcrabs will play the Lake Minneola Hawks in the regional quarterfinal Thursday, Feb. 12, in Minneola. “Our mentality is to stay strong, trust each other and get the win,” Loyd concluded. jeff@ormondbeachobserver.com

Seabreeze softball team wins season opener

The Seabreeze Lady Sandcrabs opened the season with a 3-0 win over Pierson Taylor High School on Feb. 4, at Seabreeze. Hannah Demers, Taylor Lee, Kinsley Moore and Taylor Daller all went 2-for-3 at bat, including a triple from Moore. Marlana Sutton pitched the first shutout of the season, allowing just six hits but striking out six. Twins Megan and Taylor Daller both made athletic catches in the outfield that prevented any Taylor scores.

last-minute magic By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer

Father Lopez girls head to regional final Coaches usually say it’s difficult to beat a team three times in one season. Well, the Father Lopez Lady Green Wave had to beat Master’s Academy four times this season, with the most recent a 58-57 win in the Class 3A regional semifinal Tuesday, Feb. 10, at Brown & Brown Field House. After Lopez led 14-12 early in the first quarter, Master’s Academy ended the quarter on a 9-0 run and controlled the first half to 39-28 halftime lead. “We looked a little confused that first half,” coach Brad Ridenour said. “But, we made a few adjustments, and the girls came out and played. We looked like we wanted it more.” The game was a tale to two halves for both teams, as they exchanged roles in the second and third quarter. Lopez went to a half-court pressure set that focused on Master’s Academy’s center, who scored 17 points in the first quarter alone. After giv-

ing up nearly 40 points in the first half, the Green Wave held Master’s to just 18 points in the second. “We could’ve easily hung it up, but the girls just kept fighting,” Ridenour added. “We got punched in the face in the first half, but we didn’t back down.” Down by as many as 13 points in the third quarter, Lopez continued to chip at the lead with three pointers and fast break layups. Going into the fourth quarter, the Green Wave was only down by three points, and with just one minute left, Elle Cloer, who made four 3-pointers, gave Lopez its first lead since the beginning of the first quarter. Under 20 seconds remaining in the game, Madison Patrick nailed two free throws with just nine seconds to put the Green Wave up 58-55, and a Master’s Academy player attempted a 3-pointer for the tie, but the ball rolled out the rim.

“It’s like every game we play comes down to the wire,” Ridenour said. “This has been our lives these last three games. It definitely gets a little exciting.” Elle Cloer finished with 17 points, and Madison Patrick 17 points, eight rebounds and four steals. Madison Camporese, who scored 35 points in Lopez’s re-

gional quarterfinal double overtime win, scored 13 points and dished out four assists, while grabbing three steals. “It’s crazy to be going to an elite eight, especially as a freshman,” said an emotional Camporese. Father Lopez will play Seffner Christian Friday, Feb. 13, in Seffner.

Madison Camporese scored 35 points in Lopez’s regional quarterfinal double overtime win against First Academy on Thursday, Feb. 5.

Hana Uneda, Camryn Chiumento, and Emma Uneda went back around the finish line to continue to cheer on their classmates at the annual Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk. Slightly out of breath, they still managed to scream encouragingly for their friends till the race was over. The young trio wasn’t alone in their helpful attitude. The moment the line was crossed, most runners turned back around to support the rest of the pack.

good grub By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

2nd-annual Taste of Ormond sells out Rockefeller Gardens was crowded with locals ready to sample Ormond’s restaurant gems.

Diane Sok, Saring Sok, Kenji Phan and Ken Phan from Thai Woodhouse pose for a photo.

n just its second year, the Taste of Ormond has already made a great impact in this small town. The event was sold out, with 400 people in attendance to try to the wide variety of local eateries. “We had 330 people last year,” Executive Director of Ormond MainStreet Julia Truilo said. “It was a nice little upgrade this year.” The event, hosted by Ormond MainStreet, included 15 different restaurants. “We thanked the weather gods because it was a beautiful day,” Truilo said. “I think people were in a festive mood

because of it. One of the nicest compliments I heard from someone was that they were so happy to be there because they had tasted food from restaurants they hadn’t heard of before.” One of the bigger changes from last year that Truilo noticed was the diverse crowd of people. “It’s an opportunity for all kinds of people,” Truilo said. “It had such a nice mixed demographic. We had a lot of Ormond’s younger people there as well as the older people. We had three baby carriages and a couple of 90-year-olds.”

Carla Topper was the center of a group of cheering women, all eagerly asking her the same question: “How did you do it?” Topper won a blue ribbon at the Ormond Beach Garden Club’s Sweetheart Tea and Garden Show. Napkins decorated with American flags, red-painted dry palmetto leaves and patriotic paper plates were a part of her winning display. “I was poking around one evening, and I found those napkins from a party we had five years ago,” Topper said. “We’re not allowed to alter plant material in any way, unless it’s dried. So I went to my neighbor’s yard, picked a palmetto and dried it.” Five total categories of plant displays crowded the center of The Casements, where the club holds its shows and meetings. Throughout the historic

“I never realized you need so much stuff for a hurricane,” said Don Johnson, project manager for Frontline Insurance. He was watching fifth-graders at Calvary Christian Academy on West Granada Boulevard get a lesson in emergency preparedness on Feb. 2. Representatives of the insurance company visited the school as guests of the Step Up For Students Scholarship Program, which administers scholarships to private schools for students. Frontline is a donor for the program. “We like to show donors where their money is going,” said Ann Mackey, chief financial officer for Step Up for Students. Teacher Linda Weaver said learning about hurricane preparation is important for every age group. She said the students will be able to understand what is needed and ask their parents questions as a hurricane approaches.

‘Sweetheart Tea’ show Students get prepared house, plants were for sale from The Florida Garden Pit, tea and cookies to eat and an area where single-plants were judged.

Carla Topper

One of the lessons the kids learned from Weaver is that each person needs three gallons of water per day. They determined that a family of three would need nine gallons per day, for everything from drinking to brushing their teeth. The class included a poster-making exercise, showing the things they needed to collect in case of an emergency. This school year there are 2,370 Volusia County students using Step Up scholarships to attend 43 area schools, according to Ashley McDuffie, marketing manager for the program. Frontline has committed $760,000 to the Step Up For Students Scholarship Program for the 2014-15 school year throughout the state. Companies that donate to the program are eligible for a tax credit. Calvary Christian Academy educates students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade; nearly 150 benefit from a Step Up scholarship this school year.
