+ Ormond residents star in ‘Old Tyme Musical Revue’ The sentimental journey to the 1930s and ’40s returns to the Daytona Playhouse Feb. 21 and 22. The Daytona Seniors will perform hit tunes from the era, and the Andrews Sisters will have you humming familiar songs. The “Old Tyme Musical Revue” is directed by Ormond Beach resident Bob Weaver and Bruce Heighley. The show is also a kickoff fundraiser to support the major renovation to the Playhouse’s lobby and bathrooms. Tickets cost $15 and can be bought at DaytonaPlayhouse.org or by calling 255-2431.
+ Ormond Lions raise 10,000 meals Lions from Ormond-bythe-Sea and surrounding communities worked together to fight hunger Feb. 2. The team raised 10,140 meals of rice, beans and 21 essential vitamins and minerals were packaged in about 90 minutes. One package provides a meal for six people. Each club donated $400 to $500 for the food. “Last year we packaged over 10,000 meals, and they were shipped to Nicaragua,” Lion Jeff Follmer from the Ponce Inlet Club said in a press release. “The best part about this year is that all the food stays local.” Some of the designated organizations benefiting from the event are Halifax Urban Ministries, Jewish Federation Food Bank, and St. Vincent De Paul Food Bank from St. Brendan’s Catholic Church.

Bill France Jr. showed an early interest in racing. George Pilcher, of Ormond Beach, a friend and schoolmate, said Bill Jr. would organize bike races when they were in middle school in the 1940s. “He would charge everybody a quarter and there would be first, second and third prizes,” Pilcher said. That’s just one of the memories Pilcher, 81, a retiree from Florida Power and Light, has of racing and the France family after working

Dave Linkinhoker: It’s hard to go to Haiti and not want to do something. The Linkinhoker family sat around the fireplace on a recent, cool day in their cozy home on the beachside, talking about how in a few months they will be living in Haiti, as full-time missionaries with Children’s Lifeline. They will have no hot water or air conditioning in their apartment in the impoverished country, but feel called to go. “We fell in love with the country and the people,” Elizabeth Linkinhoker said. “It’s hard to see the devastation and the poverty and disease, but you see glimmers of hope and the persistence of the people.” Elizabeth, her hus-

Fishing tournament has openings
3
JOB WELL DONE Wayne Grant | News Editor
Also: Community garden to be planted this spring; historic properties discussed. Only half of the available spots in the free fishing tournament on Feb. 28, called Reel in the Fun, have been reserved, City Manager Joyce Shanahan said at the Feb. 17 City Commission meeting. In the catch-and-release tournament, children ages 4 to 12 are teamed with an adult, and prizes are awarded. The city has had two successful fishing tournaments for children and adult teams on the walkway under the Granada Bridge. This is the first year a tournament has been added at Central Park. City Commissioners Troy Kent and Bill Partington said the city should continue promoting the tournament. “This is what it’s all about as far as good family values,” Kent said. He suggested that the city deliver fliers to the elementary schools for children
to take to their parents. Information can be found on the city’s website, ormondbeach.org., or by calling the Leisure Services Department at 676-3250.
Community garden
Shanahan said the Community Garden is set to be planted this spring, but the volunteer committee is still $6,000 short of funds for materials, after raising $6,000. She said the city is going to supply the needed funds so they will not miss the planting and growing season. City Commissioner Bill Partington said that if all the garden spaces are not sold, he would like for the commissioners to get involved “in a meaningful way” in the garden. He said he has heard other commissioners talk about their container gardens. The
Leisure Services Department will start taking reservations for garden space on Feb. 23.
Brainstorming session
Before the meeting, the officials had a brainstorming session. In the session, the commissioners discussed different possibilities with the MacDonald House, which houses the Ormond Beach Historical Society; the Ames House on South Beach Street, which houses the city legal department; and the tennis courts located near the MacDonald house. Ideas included relocating the Historical Society and seeking private development for the tennis court and MacDonald House areas. Another idea was selling the Ames House to raise money to buy the historic firehouse that is
now up for sale on East Granada Boulevard, which could be a site for the Historical Society and other uses. The commission asked Shanahan to get appraisals on the MacDonald House and tennis court areas so future decisions can be made. Mayor Kelley mentioned that the top two floors of the MacDonald house are deteriorated and restoration would be expensive. Also at the meeting, Commissioner Rick Boehm said there should be a record of government officials who have served in Ormond Beach. He said it’s an important part of history. “It’s just absent,” he said. “There should be a compilation of people who served here. They talk about pioneers, but not who was in government.”

The basketball court at Osceola Elementary School has been home to a washed out map of the United States for, well, a long time. “It was in bad need of repair,” Eagle Scout Andrew Kelly said. “The colors were dull and fading. In some areas the asphalt was showing through.” Thanks to Kelly’s troop leaders and his own self-starting determination, new life was given to a very old map. “Andrew’s hard work, planning, and cooperation from 24 scouts and scout leaders took place on Jan. 31,” Paula Belfer, a physical education teacher at Osceola Elementary wrote in an email. “The map is used in many ways as the physical education teachers integrate other subject areas into their curriculum.” The 17-year-old completed the year-long project with the help of his fellow scouts from Troop 403. It was a part of a

“There are a lot of troops in Ormond, and most of them love to get involved. A lot of people inspire the younger generation to be active and go help the community. Seeing their eyes light up when they saw the map was awesome.”

When a tip came in that someone in Volusia County was writing emails about molesting two children, Sheriff’s Investigator Chastity Burke didn’t wait for subpoenaed records to identify the suspect. She tracked him down, according to Andrew Gant, public information office for the Sheriff’s Office. The case, involving an Ormond Beach man who used an email account to discuss his child sex crimes with another person, was just one of many Burke has helped solve in her time with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Over the past two years, Burke has worked more than 500 cases, Gant said. Burke was one of several Employees of the Quarter recognized Feb. 10 by Sheriff Ben Johnson. The others were: Deputy Christina Chaves, Employee Samantha Collins, Telecommunicator Teddy Griffin, and Volunteer John O’Brien. “What separates Chastity from her contemporaries is her tenacity and vigor to protect children,” said Sgt. Kurt Schoeps. Burke had received a tip that someone was exchanging emails about molesting one girl, with plans to molest another. An investigation led to the suspect’s home, and Burke discovered he was living there with three juvenile females. Burke staked out the home and when the subpoenaed records arrived, they confirmed he was the suspect sending the emails. She obtained a search warrant that led to suspect’s arrest and confession, Gant said. An 8-year-old girl and a 3-year-old girl told investigators the suspect had abused them in the past. “I’m so proud of what you have done,” Johnson told Burke. Chaves helped rescue a driver who had crashed and become trapped in his vehicle in the waters of a drainage canal. Collins’ work with the Sheriff’s Office 100 Deputies/100 Kids program has given hundreds of Volusia children and their families meaningful experience during the holidays, Gant said. Griffin was recognized for calm work on a call involving a combative, suicidal female armed with razor blades. Daytona Beach police officers were able to take her into custody swiftly and safely. O’Brien, who works in Deltona in the Citizens Observer Program, routinely responds to emergencies and helps get the right people and equipment in place at the right time, Gant said. wayne@ormondbeachobserver.com

HAITI / FROM PAGE 1 it, but it will be worth it,” Dave Linkinhoker said. “It’s a longing in our hearts to be there. It’s a call to our lives.” He said it’s hard to go to Haiti and not want to do something. He had been to Honduras and Mexico but was not prepared for what he saw. “It’s overwhelming,” he said. But he said it’s an awesome feeling when 20 kids come running up and hug you. Elizabeth Linkinhoker said she has a special feeling for the women, because many have lost husbands and children. There is a high mortality rate for children, she said. Haiti is still suffering the effects of the earthquake of 2010, with debris and rubble in the cities, and people in the countryside living in tent cities or homes made of old billboards or mud and sticks. There was an outpouring of help after the earthquake, which helped mainly with the digging of wells, but people still walk miles for clean water. The Linkinhokers’ 19-year-old daughter, Sara, was the first to go on a mission trip a year ago and last spring served as an intern with Children’s Lifeline. “Haitians are joyful, hopeful and generous,” she said. “They hardly have anything but will invite you into their home to have some fruit they’ve grown.” The Linkinhokers decided to go
to Haiti after talking to Sara about her trip. “I told them they will see things that will make them uncomfortable,” Sara said. “But you will see beauty in the country, and they appreciate your help.” Children’s Lifeline, based in Georgia, employs 150 Haitians at their medical clinics, orphanages, schools and feeds 8,500 people a day. A trade school teaches agriculture, sewing and home building, and plans are in place for training in welding and computers. Christian ministry, such as conducting Bible studies, is a large part of their efforts in the country. “Our main goal is to help people come to Christ,” Sara said. The organization was started by Arnold Lemke in 1983. Now 82, his trips there are now less frequent. Sara said that he emphasizes the importance of ministry. “He said you can feed a child and that’s amazing, but if they don’t go to heaven, what’s the point,” she said. The duties of the Linkinhokers will include building relationships and overseeing programs for feeding, child sponsorship, widow care and orphanages, and helping short-term mission teams. Elizabeth Linkinhoker said that on one of their previous trips, they took a day off at the coast. She said she saw the beauty of a mountain in the sunset. “I realized that God made Haiti beautiful,” she said. “It’s damaged, but now being restored.”
MORE INFORMATION The Linkinhokers offer to help others plan a mission trip to Haiti or sponsor children, and they also ask for support. Find them on Facebook at “Making Haiti Home.” They also have a website, makinghaitihome.com. Call 407-421-1356 or email makinghaitihome@yahoo.com. Also visit childrenslifeline.com.
UNITED WAY / FROM PAGE 1 cessation and mental health; and information about support groups, medical equipment, prescription and even such things as farmers markets, schools and parks and recreation. One of the more helpful changes, according to Ray Salazar, president of United Way, is that agencies will be able to update their information on the website. Out-of-date information has always been a problem with lists of services. “Human services change all the time,” Van agreed. Another advantage to the site, Van said, is that it will provide an overall list for someone new to the area. “People call for anything and everything,” she said. “Basic needs like food and housing are first and foremost. I’ve had people with serious health issues that don’t know where to turn.” She said one woman had gone through surgery and had difficulty talking. She couldn’t call around to various places, so she called 211 and they helped her find a physical therapist. Van said the website would have been a good resource for her. She said searching for key words on the website will be helpful for people finding appropriate services. Salazar said there is a higher level of need than when the 211 line began, with more agencies. Technology has also changed. “Everyone uses smartphones now,” he said. “It’s imperative we communicate with them.” People will be able to access 211live.org with their phones. The 211live.org website is a result of a cooperative effort by United Way of Volusia/Flagler Counties, Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, Florida Hospital, Halifax Health, Leadership Daytona and InFocus Media Group. Salazar said it was the sponsorships of the health systems that gave them the resources to update the website. Ann Martorano, chief operating officer for Halifax Health, said Halifax Health and Florida Hospital are not enemies, contrary to what some people believe. “We have the common goal of helping the community,” she said Bonnie Sorensen, county health director, said the new system should help, because sometimes people don’t know where to go with their health issues and end up in the emergency room. She said the overall health of Volusia County needs to improve. She said in 2010, Volusia was ranked 37th out of 67 Florida counties for public health. In 2014, it was ranked 43rd.

UNITED WE STAND By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Ray Salazar steps down as United Way head
RACES / FROM PAGE 1 the races each year since 1947. He started at the beach races, spent 32 years as head usher at the Speedway and now works at the Daytona 500 Club greeting guests. This year’s Daytona 500 is 1:30 p.m. Sunday. But he said there are many other people who can tell stories. “Everybody who has been here a long time has their own memories,” he said. Bill Jr. was the son of “Big Bill” France, who started NASCAR. The senior France was a tall man who commanded attention. “He was nice, but you respected him. When he talked, you listened,” Pilcher said. “He was an awesome dude.”
Beach races were wild
days, and the drivers would race down the road. At the south turn, there was an area of palmetto scrubs they could drive into if they didn’t make the turn. On the beach side of the turn, there was a huge pile of sand where a driver would sometimes crash. Pilcher said they would push the driver out, if they liked him. The pits consisted of tarps spread out on the sand. Drivers would stop for new tires or a carburetor adjustment. After the race, Pilcher and Bill Jr. would take the suitcases of money with a police escort to the France home, where they would count it on a dining room table. Bill Jr. eventually took over NASCAR when his father died, and led the organization through many growth years. Pilcher also knows Jim France, a quiet man who always worked effectively out of the public eye.
Racing with Bill Jr.
In the development of 211live.org, for example, he said they worked with nontraditional partners Halifax Health and Florida Hospital. In education, they worked with the school system in helping children reach their grade level in reading; and in the area of income, they worked with the IRS and banks to help people with income tax preparation and money management.
One of the more difficult days of ushering was when President Ronald Reagan attended a race. Pilcher had to give the Secret Service all the names of the ushers for background checks. He had a hard time getting into the track himself, because the security was so tight.
‘It was like a family reunion’
He said he enjoyed all those years, mostly because he saw friends coming back each year. “It was like a family reunion,” he said. “I had a family, a mother and four kids, all working in the Campbell Grandstand.”

He said he also enjoyed helping the fans have a good time. In 2004, the Daytona 500 Club started, which offers a higher level of racing experience for fans, and that’s where Pilcher has worked since. He also hands out Hershey Kisses to the ladies when they come in. Sponsors are important today, and were also important back in the old days. Once when a Plymouth won a race, a film of the race was placed on an airplane and flown to New York so it could be shown on the Ed Sullivan show. Plymouth was a sponsor of the show. “It started as a sport and now it’s a sport and a big business,” he said.

“The 15 years were not without their challenges,” he said. “Fundraising is always a challenge.” He said he always enjoyed working with people in the nonprofit area. “They are a different sort of people, driven by a motive of helping others,” he said. “And the volunteers I’ve met — they roll up their sleeves and improve things for the community.” Both Catron and Walsh feel confident there will be enough time to find the right candidate. “United Way is on solid ground,” Walsh said. “We had another successful campaign last year. He has given us ample time to find a replacement.” Ormond Beach City Manager Joyce Shanahan, chairwoman of the appropriations committee, agreed, saying that the position of the agency is excellent in both finances and staff. “If ever you had to make a transition, this would be a great time,” she said.

Pilcher said he noticed a competitiveness in Bill Jr. when they were young. They were driving up A1A to go on a field trip to Marineland, and Bill Jr. tried to pass Pilcher, but Pilcher blocked him. Bill Jr. then passed him with two tires off in the sand. When the Speedway opened in 1959, Pilcher was given a pair of white overalls and assigned to taking tickets. He eventually became head usher, until 2004. Pilcher never missed a chance to work a race. When stationed in Pensacola while in the Navy, he would take leave and hitchhike home to work the races. He also worked as a spotter. He would sit above pit row and watch four of the cars. He would watch what they did, such as change tires or add gasoline, and then call the office so it could be broadcast.

EXTRA
For the beach races, Bill Jr. and Pilcher installed stakes across the beach and the dunes, and then to the scrub on the other side of State Road A1A. Everyone was then charged admission to get on the part of the beach. They had to watch for cars that were low in the back because people sometimes tried to sneak in by hiding in the trunk. Pilcher also sold hot dogs and soft drinks. “We’d do anything for a dollar an hour back then,” he said. Today, the race starting times have a lot to with TV coverage, but back then they were determined by the tides. They would start the race as the tide was going out. Pilcher said the drivers would start three abreast and speed down the beach toward the north turn. They would almost get sideways making the turn, sending clouds of dust from the beach ramp. State Road A1A was straighter in those
Ormond Beach and Palm Coast Observer newspapers. They have formed a task force, consisting of five members of the executive committee of the board of directors, to seek a new president. “All five have executive hiring experience,” said Walsh, who will become chairman at the end of June. They have not decided if it will be a nationwide search or if a human resources firm will be utilized. “Ray is a good guy,” said Catron, a director at Halifax Media Group. “His leadership traits and his close connection with the community will be hard to replace.” Salazar, 68, said he is remaining at his home in Ormond Beach and will still be involved in the community, but first wants to take 60 to 90 days off. When asked for accomplishments, Salazar points to the fact that over his tenure, the United Way became a problem solver on its own, working beyond the member agencies in the areas of education, income and health.

Ray Salazar, president of United Way Volusia/Flagler Counties, announced to his staff and the United Way Board of Directors on Feb. 16 that he will retire as of Dec. 31. He enjoyed his time as president, he said in a phone interview. “I love this job and this community,” he said. “This is the culmination of my second career. I retired from the FAA after 27-and-a-half years and then started my nonprofit career.” Salazar began his nonprofit career in 1996, working for the Literacy Council, and found it to be something he enjoyed. “I saw a 63-year-old man learn to read for the first time and I was hooked,” he said. Three years later he was asked to work at the United Way. He was promoted to president in 2001 after a national search for candidates. Lori Catron, chairwoman of the United Way Board of Directors, said Salazar gave early notice to her and incoming chairman John Walsh, publisher of the

big kid now By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor
Why waffle fries may kill me
“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”
An afternoon of relaxation means different things to different people. For some, it’s a day at a spa complete with back massages and french manicures. For me, it’s eating Chickfil-A waffle fries in my parked car while watchEMILY BLACKWOOD ing Netflix on my phone. It’s not the most healthy habit, but I have been working on my health in other ways. I’ve improved my exercise routine (I now know what a kettle ball is), and I’m not constantly munching on snacks during the day. Plus I drink a ton of water. My mom asked me if I was pregnant the other day because I was going to the bathroom so much. So yeah, it’s impressive. But an almost-daily visit to my favorite fast food chain could actually kill me. At least, that was the sum of what I picked up from my recent conversation with Love Whole Foods owner Mitchell Booth. I went in with the mission to find out what supplements I should be taking on a daily basis. A magazine I was reading pointed out all the supplements Jennifer Aniston was taking, and I was pretty sure I would need the same ones. Conversations with Booth

always inspire and terrify me at the same time. After being in the whole foods business for 25 years, he knows his stuff. Stuff like how antibiotics fed to cows are affecting our brains or how pizza isn’t really food. We talked for nearly an hour about the different ways today’s processed, un-naturally food is slowly but surely killing us. By the end of the conversation, I was ready to throw away everything in my pantry, and replace it with its organic and natural counterparts. Also I was feeling really guilty about the Chick-filA I ate earlier that morning. Though he’s passionately tough, and will tell you like it is, Mitchell Booth is understanding. He knows I have the unrealistic expectations of maintaining a lean body while filling my stomach with garbage. So, he attempted to help me — and the rest of us who haven’t fully made that healthy lifestyle switch yet even though we know we should — by letting me in on the best daily supplements to take. Maybe three to four more health talks with Mitch will scare me enough to stay out of the drive thru.
NINE SUPPLEMENTS
According to Love Whole Foods owner Mitchell Booth, the best supplement to take is, of course, one created by his own store (Multiple Whole Food Gender Specific Vitamin). He says it includes just about everything you’d need. But in more general terms, here are nine more supplements and what they do.
9. Vitamin C. “It’s needed by every cell of the body, because the body does not make it. It’s a building block for all collagen and skin. If you’re slim to none on Vitamin C, you’re going to lose that elasticity.” 8. MSM or methylsulfonylmethane. “It’s a organic form of sulfur, the third most abundant nutrient in the human body. It’s needed by every cell. It’s critical as a building block for hair, skin and nails. MSM is also an anti-inflammatory. It’s on the same level as aspirin, but without any side affects.” 7. Magnesium. “It is a building block in regenerating our heart. It also helps to balance stress in a world where everyone is under stress. It also has an ability to have the brain go into automatic mode and de-stress. It’s side affect is bowel regulation.” 6. Probiotics. “We are living in a sea of hidden antibiotics with the mass market food supply. This fights it.” 5. Vitamin D-3. “It comes from cod liver oil. You only manufacture it when you’re in the sun. And we’re told to put on sun block now, so you can’t make it.” 4. Digestive enzymes. “This is a miracle that comes from our industry. If you don’t have enzymes to break the food down for gluten allergies or lactose intolerances, then it will sit in your stomach.” 3. Alpha lipoic acid. “It’s a very unique amino acid, which is what we get from protein. It regenerates nerve endings. We now have an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes, and one of the results is dying nerve endings in the feet, brain and eyes. This amino acid is a firewall to make sure that doesn’t happen.” 2. Omega 3 fatty acids. “Think of it as WD-40. It’s the key energy source for the heart muscle. It is the key element in preventing heart attacks. It has been the only thing that has been able to help prevent Alzheimer’s. At a cellular level, it can slow down the aging processes. It plumps out the skin and keeps it from dying prematurely.” 1. Turmeric. “It’s a spice that comes from India. It’s the basic element of curry. It does everything. It balances blood sugar. It’s the most powerful anti-inflammatory without using a drug.”

Dear Editor: Editor’s Note: This letter was also sent to the city commissioners. I was greatly dismayed as I read the article, “City enforces no trashpicking law” in the Feb. 5 Ormond Beach Observer. It used to be that “gleaning” was honorable and provided a useful service. It might even be called recycling at its best, not to waste what we have been given. I purposely leave items on the curb, hoping others might find a use for them. If it is something bigger and functional, I take them to a thrift store where someone might be able to benefit from them. I find it very sad when people throw out useful items that others can use and then call them “scavengers” for recycling those same discarded items. I thought that the city of Ormond Beach wants us to be more environmentally aware and responsible. Then when we recycle what others have thrown out, we become “scavengers” and criminals. I think that you might end up fining and arresting many nice, middle-class homeowners who stop to pick up discards to take to thrift stores, to those in need, or even to grandchildren. I am an avid gardener and teach
gardening classes. I have been taught to recycle oak leaves to use them as mulch and to keep them out of the landfill. The same goes for cardboard and potential garden art. Am I going to be fined for collecting oak leaves and using them in my yard and compost pile? If others would be taught to be better recyclers, we could save the city a lot of money. You could let the school children, the scout troops, and others recycle aluminum cans for their projects and personal needs instead of selling them to make a few bucks. I understand that the homeowner might get upset if they had a large amount of discarded items and trash, and several recyclers trashed it (excuse my pun). I think that this could be avoided by teaching homeowners to lay out their trash with recyclers in mind and encouraging them to be more tolerant and charitable to recyclers. I spoke to at least 10 people who were shocked to hear about section 10-5 of the Code of Ordinances. They all leave stuff out on purpose, hoping someone will recycle it. I would be an advocate for changing section 10-5 of the Code of Ordinances to something much more friendly to recyclers, to those breathing new purpose into old items and keeping them out of the landfill. God bless. Vivian Bowden Ormond Beach
+ Consider a pedestrian bridge at A1A/Granada Dear Editor: I agree with Wayne Grant’s column in the Feb. 12 edition that the A1A/Granada intersection is extremely treacherous for pedestrians trying to navigate their way to the beach. It’s only a matter of time before a tragic occurrence involving pedestrian-versus-vehicle. Has any thought been made to constructing a pedestrian bridge from the Granada Plaza to the Birthplace of Speed Park? Definitely not as elaborate as the walk bridge at the Ocean Center. The Granada/A1A bridge would only have to be 4 or 5 feet wide and open aired with the minimum height requirements for passing traffic. A resolution will have to be done eventually, foot traffic is only going to increase with time. Laurie Campbell Ormond Beach
+ Thanks for your bravery with ‘Never Again?’ editorial Dear Editor: Kudos to you and your newspaper for the opinion editorial titled, “Never Again?” I read it at my doctor’s office and I’m so thankful that finally someone in the media is not afraid to speak up and to defend our country and the evil that we face from ISIS and other radical Islamic extremists. Your article is exactly the way I feel, and I’m sure the majority of Americans feel, but so few people are aware of the real and present danger that we as Americans are all facing, and the mainstream media is not covering it as they should.

+ How do we contact our congressmen? Dear Editor: Kudos to you and the Observer staff for standing in the gap for our country, specifically in Ormond. We read other local papers and do not see any level of commitment from them to our local citizen to do something! Or even admit we are on the terrorist’s list as prime, after Israel. Would you please print the names and addresses of our congressmen and senators and the telephone numbers? Not everyone has a computer or the information at their fingertips. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your voice! Jim and Judy Ellis Ormond Beach Editor’s Note: The contact information is as follows: U.S. Rep.

ULTRA-LOW MILEAGE LEASE WITH A CURRENT GM VEHICLE
I am puzzled at your obvious anger and unwillingness to acknowledge that the “Never Again?” editorial by Matt Walsh in the previous edition is as timely today as it could have been in 1933, ’34, etc. Consider the possibilities had someone been brave enough to write such an editorial back in that grim time before Hitler — if Hitler had been unable to mobilize and get the backing he needed to proceed with the plans he wrote about in “Mein Kampf.” Are we to stand by and watch it happen again? I cannot understand your anger. If that hostility were put to the good of all people, might send our representatives in Washington the wake up call they need. We simply cannot turn the other cheek ever again and watch until it is too late to do anything — too much time and too many terrible events have already taken place and will continue. Seeing another Sept. 11 on our shores is within the realm of possibility and probability — we need to understand that as a people. Name-calling and other negative remarks are not going to address the issue: The issue is to try to stop ISIL from growing out of control. They want us all dead, just like Hitler wanted, and almost succeeded. Please open your mind to the human condition as it includes every living person in this world, including yourself. None of us want war — we had hoped that would never again happen. Sadly, this is not the case, as we are already engaged in a silent war — one that sees killing every single day. Write your congressmen and make your voice heard — that is where it will do the most good This has gone far past Arab killing Arab – have you seen the Times lately? No one is bullying here — it is called writing and acting on your conscience. Mine says, “Bravo, Mr. Walsh” and everyone else who responded to the positive nature of that editorial in their letters to the editor. Dana Williams Palm Coast

If at first you don’t succeed … 2:13 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Dealing in Stolen Property and Petit Theft. The loss prevention agent told the officer he saw two males enter the store. Suspect No. 1 went into the bathroom. Suspect No 2 took an air compressor off a shelf and took it back to the shipping department. He presented a receipt showing that an air compressor was to be shipped to the store yester- d a y for pickup. The receipt, however, was for the Palm Coast location of the store. When confronted with this information, he picked up the air compressor and walked to the front of the store where Suspect No. 1 was waiting. Suspect No. 1 took the air compressor to the Customer Service Section and returned it, receiving $159.43 in cash. He was stopped by the loss prevention officer and escorted to the office. In a post-Miranda interview, Suspect No. 1 said he was just along for the ride and did not know anything about a theft. Security footage showed that Suspect No. 2 fled the store when he saw the other one was being questioned.
Victim doesn’t notice losses 3:50 p.m. — First Block of Margorie Trail. Fraud. The victim said he has had a PayPal account for many years, and someone has stolen his information and taken money from his bank accounts that are linked to it. He said the first fraudulent purchase was two years ago. When asked why he was just now reporting the incident, he said he did not notice the purchases com-
ing out of his bank account. PayPal told him someone in Texas had made the purchases.
Absence causes concern 6:13 p.m. — First Block of Bay Hill Drive. Well-Being Check. A concerned citizen called police and told them he had not seen or heard from his 92-year-old neighbor since the day before. He said he had called the neighbor and knocked on her door but did not receive a response. He was concerned for her well-being. He said he recently had a key and was the emergency access contact for the house, but had given the key back to her so she could make another copy. Police officers and firefighters checked all of the windows and doors but were not able to see the subject or get a response. The firefighters said they had been at the residence recently because of a fire, and the subject had breathing problems. The firefighters made entry by lifting a rear sliding door off the track. After finding no one inside the house, the door was re-secured and the officers left the house. As the officer was clearing the call, the subject pulled up in a car. They explained to her the reason for their presence. A short time later, the officer received a call from the subject, saying someone had been in her house The officer told her what happened, and that they had explained it at the scene. She said she did not understand when they explained it previously. She said when she had the fire, she wasn’t happy about some items being damaged and did not like the fire department prying open her door.

Former Fusion 43 owner Ryals turns 94
She’s also worked as a telephone operator, a long distance operator and rented rooms at what is now home to Fusion 43. “She’s a whip,” Fusion 43 partner Stephan Raymond. “We have people in here in their 70s, and she’s quicker than them.” “I met all kinds of people,” Ryals said. “I had to learn how to handle a lot of people. I’ve always been a cook.” Her favorite things to make are fudge, cornbread, gingerbread and fried chicken. But she doesn’t get in the kitchen too often now. “It slows you down,” Ryals chuckled. “You can’t do what you once did. You can’t work like you once did. You just have to take life easy and a little quieter. Just sit back in the rocking chair with your legs up and get bored.”

Lenny Schneir, Mary-Ann Westbrook and David Axelrod Axelrod said that a lot of the more powerful poetry comes from experiences with loved ones, though they are not always well-recieved. “I wrote about my brother who terrified me all my childhood long,” Axelrod said. “He didn’t like the poem, so later after the reading he beat me up. Which I thought was very consistent.” “I think people think of Tomoka Poets or any poets as basically being extremely academic,” Westbrook said. “We think differently, but our group is very diversified. We’re made up of very, very different people.” The Tomoka Poets meet at 5 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month at the Ormond Beach Library.

Evelyn Ryals, former owner of the Fusion 43 building, celebrated her 94th birthday at the restaurant Feb. 11. Seated in one of the dining rooms, surrounded by her friends and family, she spilled the secret of a happy, healthy life. “Love the Lord,” she said. “Read the Bible. Trust it and trust the Lord. Give your life to him.” Her advice was rewarded with an “Amen” from people at her table. Ryals still participates in the Sunday School Class at First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach where she’s been a member since the 1950s. She was a Sunday school teacher for 60 years. Though she was born in Washington, D.C., Ryals moved down to Ormond Beach to be closer to her mom and dad when she was 18.
Roses are red, violets are blue, but there’s a lot more to Valentine’s Day poetry than that, according to the Tomoka Poets. At Andy Romano Park Feb. 14, the poets welcomed about 15 people to read their poetry to numerous interchanging crowds. Though the theme of the event was love, only a few people stuck to that topic. “A few of us tried to do love poems,” David Axelrod chuckled, “but they didn’t come out that way.” “We had a woman here who did three or four nature poems,” Tomoka Poets President Mary-Ann Westbrook said. “There were our young girls here who did some self-thought stuff.” Though the group has remained under the radar for most of its 28 years of existence, members have noticed a recent growth. “We’re getting larger attendance now,” Lenny Schneir said. “We’re getting nearly 15 to 20 people to show up.” “When we go over to Java Jungle in Daytona Beach,” Axelrod said, “we’ll get about 40 people to come out and listen. Poets will read to an empty room. Thirty to 40 people is pretty good.” The type of poetry that the group is producing is an attempt to get out of the “singsong, rhythmic” method of speaking. “That’s what a lot of readers do,” Axelrod said. “That’s why slam poetry is so popular because it breaks out of that academic style.”

Sweet taste of victory

Mainland tennis team beats Seabreeze in first crosstown battle.
Jeff Dawsey
Freshman Madi Camporese will return next season with nearly her entire Lady Green Wave team.
Green Wave just getting started To make it to the Elite Eight in any sport usually takes a ton of seasoned veterans and experience. The Father Lopez girls’ 201213 state championship team was a prime example. Six of their first seven players on the court were seniors, and the other was a junior JEFF who moved the following DAWSEY year. This past season’s Lopez team had neither, but they advanced anyway. With just one senior (Teresa Tabar) on the roster, the Lady Green Wave (24-5) made it all the way to the Region 3A Championship game before losing to the regional powerhouse, Seffner Christian. On getting to the state final eight with very little experience, coach Brad Ridenour said, “Now that they got a taste of it, I hope they’ll work harder in the offseason, so we can go even farther.” The Green Wave were led by firstyear players, sophomore Madison Patrick (transfer), who averaged nearly nine points and nine rebounds and freshman Madison Patrick, who averaged 12 points, six rebounds and an area-best six assists this year. With 11 returning players and new transfers, Ridenour expects his team to be much better next season, saying, “Kids in my system are much better their second season than they are the first year.” With their top talent being underclassmen, don’t expect the Elite Eight finalists to go anywhere anytime soon. They are just getting started.
The Buccaneers nearly swept their crosstown rivals, the Seabreeze Sandcrabs, winning 13 of 14 matches Thursday, Feb. 12, at Mainland and Seabreeze. Girls score: Singles — Hope Behnke def. Brooke Huling, 9-8 (5-2); Kyra Webb def. Sammy Harrison, 8-3; Emily Powers def. Genevieve Gibbons, 8-6; Alexis Holcomb def. Stack, 8-1; Schuyler Anderson def. Isa Koreniuk, 8-6. Doubles: Behnke-Powers def. Huling-E. Gibbons, 8-4; WebbHolcomb def. Harrison-Shannon Stack, 8-2. Inside: Due to the arriving dark skies, Behnke and Huling were forced to shorten their tie-breaker round. Boys score: Mainland 6, Seabreeze 1. Singles: Noah Thompson (S) def. Todd Arias (M), 9-8 (7-5); Miraj Patel def. Chris Ringue, 8-0; Todd Arias fist pumps after taking the lead in the boys’ top matchup of the day. Marc Zboch def. Ian Reilly, 8-4; August Deberri def. Sean Skinner, 8-1; Tyler Fuller def. Riley Ouellette, 8-5. Doubles: Arias-Patel def. Thompson-Ringue, 8-5; ZbochDeberri def. Ouellette-Reilly, 8-2. Inside: Arias scored four straight games to tie Thompson at 5-5, and then rallied after trailing 7-6 on several match points. Thompson needed the last game of the set to force a tie break and eventually won. The two schools will meet again Wednesday, Mar. 18, at Seabreeze for the boys and Mainland for boys.

hey, batter batter By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer
Mainland’s Josie Glass: falling in love with softball With the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning, Mainland led Atlantic 11-10 Feb. 5, last year. On the deciding play of the game, an Atlantic player crushed a ball toward the gate, but Josie Glass made an acrobatic catch for the final out that saved the game. Ask Glass, and she will tell you that she was destined to make plays on the softball field. Growing up as the only child in a family that loved the game, a young Glass practiced and played with her parents every day. “They always coached me to the best of their ability which shaped me to the player I have become,” she said. Watching her mother and father and grandparents play all their lives sparked her interest, which led to first playing on Little League baseball teams. When she got to middle school, however, Glass converted to softball, playing third base. While in middle school, Glass also developed a love for surfing. She regularly took her board to the ocean to catch waves, photographing herself with a GoPro camera. “I’ve made a lot of great memories out there,” she said. “On my birthday in 2012, my best friend, Danielle Miller, and
I were able to get some good rides on the waves and just hang out and relax in the middle of the ocean.” Then, last year, she realized how much softball meant to her, so she quit surfing to focus solely on the sport she grew up in. “I surfed for fun, but softball is my passion and something I would like to continue doing,” Glass said. “Every moment is a good moment when I’m on the field with my team, win or lose, but my favorite thing of all is when we play Seabreeze. I’m very excited to face them again this year because we have improved so much as a team.” After a number of losing seasons, the Lady Buccaneers are 4-0, and they have dominated their competition. With every win, the three-year starter’s confidence in her team goes to another level. “I believe we are going to shock the county this year,” Glass said. “Due to our past records no one believes we will succeed, but we have a solid team this year. We’re going to go far.” Mainland’s game against Seabreeze was canceled due to weather on Tuesday, but they will play Matanzas at 6:30 pm. Feb. 19, at Matanzas.

can you feel the SPARC? By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor
Special needs community feels the love at Valentine’s Day dance
The Special Populations Activity and Recreation Council hosted the annual event. Edna Fager doesn’t know what her child with special needs would do if it weren’t for the Special Populations Activity and Recreation Council. She began volunteering for SPARC 13 years ago, when she and her son moved here from New Jersey. “They wouldn’t have anything if it wasn’t for this,” Fager said. “If they didn’t have this, they would be sitting home in front of the TV.” SPARC, a countywide organization, hosted its annual Valentine’s Day Dance Feb. 13 at the Nova Community Center and Park. The city of Ormond Beach partners with the organization to bring many
events to the special needs community. “We started out with five people,” volunteer Chantal Jordan said. “We have over 400 now. We started out in New Smyrna, and we’ve grown to go all over. Everyone together kept it alive.” The event drew in 276 people plus volunteers for Valentine’s Day pictures, dancing, food and music. SPARC President Brooks Casey, who has held the title for 10 years, said the dances are their more popular events. “We want them to have a normal livelihood,” Casey said. “Just like everybody else needs recreation so do people with special needs.”
Susan and Jack planned to dance the night away.

A SECOND FAMILY By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor
Italian Club hosts Mardi Gras dinner Residents reminisce on living within an Italian family. The dinner was held Feb. 17. Kathy D’ambra remembers going to her grandparents house for Sunday dinners. She had a big family, and they only spoke Italian when they were together. “My grandparents are from Caltanissetta, a village in Sicily,” D’ambra said. “They came over here many years ago like so many of the other immigrants. My grandfather spoke English, but my grandmother spoke very little English. So we spoke Italian at the house. Once they were gone, it sort of stopped, and everyone spoke English. It’s unfortunate.” Attempting to refill the void of large, family gatherings, is part of the reason people join the Italian Club of Ormond Beach, where D’ambra is currently president. She said they also try to discover more about their heritage and pay tribute to it. “I’ve been to Italy six times.” D’ambra said. “People here want to know about their heritage. Last month when Mario Cuomo (former governor of New York) died, we had a salute to him, and told all about
his life. We dig and we try to fill them in. People are very interested in their backgrounds.” The organization held a Mardi Gras dinner Feb. 17 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, where most of its meetings are held. “We’re always looking for fun, new things to do,” D’ambra said. “Rosalie is from New Orleans, so she made the authentic red beans and rice.” Barbara Sposato was married to an Italian, and has been a part of the club for two years. “Everybody has a good time,” Sposato said. “We have a dine around once a month, to go to different areas around the city to patronize the local businesses.” The Italian Club of Ormond Beach meets at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of each month. “People don’t know that we’re here,” D’ambra said. “We’re really here, and we want people to join. If they’re Italian, or of Italian descent or their grandparents are from Italy or they married an Italian, they are welcome to join.” Call 334-0593.

Seabreeze student releases CD, will perform Sara Tomarelli sings March 1, at the News-Journal Center. When Sara Tomarelli was 5 years old, her parents bought her a tiny CD player and a collection of Disney movie soundtracks. Her father, Sam Tomarelli, remembers first hearing his daughter sing. “She would be sitting in her bedroom just singing along,” he said. “She would sing all kinds of songs. She sounded very good. Her career has been virtually uninterrupted since she started.” “My parents aren’t that much into music,” Sara said. “Dad used to play piano and organ. He heard me singing and signed me up for voice lessons. It’s been a lifelong thing for me.” Now a junior at Seabreeze High School, Sara performs cover songs on a regular basis for local venues around Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. She describes her music as a “pop-rock crossover and a classical crossover.” “It’s pretty much anything that Josh Groban would sing,” she said. “I’ve always loved singing. It makes me happy,
and it’s fun for me to do. I remember seeing broadway shows like ‘Phantom of the Oprah.’ I want to be on stage in front of people.” Sara’s first performance was at Daytona Playhouse when she was a freshman in high school. “I was a little nervous because it was a sold-out show, and I knew that before I went on,” she said. “They were good nerves. I just had to power through it.” She started working on a CD a year ago, and will be performing a few songs from it at 2:30 p.m. March 1 at the NewsJournal Center in Daytona Beach. After she graduates from Seabreeze, she plans on attending a musical conservatory to continue studying. She currently sings in French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and is working on her German. “I’m only singing covers right now, but I’ll continue to keep making music and performing,” Sara said. “Maybe one day someone will discover me.”

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor
Ormond ‘boomervox’ band releases first album Tarragona Way’s Dennis Culler: ‘My whole life, I’ve written songs and I’ve had tunes in my head.’ To most, Tarragona Way is just a street they pass in Daytona Beach. To Ray Daly and Dennis Culler, it’s where their love for music was born. It was there that the two grew up, and played in rival bands in high school. “It was probably the best time of our lives,” Culler said. “All we had to do was play music and chase girls.” “We would go to each other’s rehearsals and learn new songs,” Daly said. “We played gigs together back in the ’90s and even played in the same band called ‘Rock-It.’” Daly, who bought his first guitar in 1967, learned to play bass, guitar and keyboard. The first song he learned was “With a Little Help From my Friends,” by the Beatles, which he completely related to. “In church there was a big piano in the classroom,” Daly said. “I would get in before Sunday school, and play around with it. I was inclined towards it.” Daly says he’s self-taught, and prefers to learn by ear. Both he and Culler write their own music. Though Daly kept up with music throughout his life, Culler took a break to be a manufacturing engineer at Hudson Technologies. It wasn’t until he was diagnosed with prostate cancer that he decided to go back to his dream. “At the same time, my wife had been told she needed a liver transplant,” Culler said. “My whole life, I’ve written songs and I’ve had tunes in my head. I procrastinated my whole life, so I thought I better get started. I told Ray I wanted to do songs for my family, and he didn’t hesitate at all.”
The band was inspired by music they listened to growing up, including the Beatles. Together, the duo created the band Tarragona Way in 2009, and published their first album this year. The band signed with Tate Music Group, and their songs are reflective of the baby boomer era they grew up in. Daly even invented a new genre to describe their music, called
“BoomerVox,” that means the “voice and music of the baby boomers.” “It’s the stuff that we went through,” Daly said. Culler, who does the vocals for the band, said they plan on creating another album after he retires. He is now cancer-free,
and feels lucky to be able to get back into music. And Daly doesn’t plan on stopping anytime either. “You got to be real,” he said. “You gotta pay your bills while your chasing your dreams. But I’ll never give up, not until my last breath. I love music.” Hear the music at tarragonaway.net. Courtesy photos

Keep Your New Year’s Resolution . . . Slim Down Your Garage! Is your garage bursting at the seams? We have solutions!
Slim Down Your Garage Days Thursday, February 26th, and Friday, February 27th Waste Pro will be collecting your junk curbside.
ALL AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!
Place curbside on your normal trash pick-up day.
Annual Household Waste Amnesty Day Friday, February 27th | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Drop off at Public Works Complex
PLEASE NOTE: Waste Pro WILL NOT collect any type of hazardous waste curbside. These items MUST be dropped off during the Amnesty Day at the Public Works Complex.
Isn’t your garage lonely? Doesn’t it miss your car? Hazardous materials and clutter in garages help ignite garage fires and can make them spread very quickly and can block firefighters from entering the garage to put out a fire or rescue a victim. Did you know that more than 45% of garage fires reach other areas of the home? (USFA) Garage fires are not quickly detected because smoke alarms alert occupants in the home’s living area.
Use your garage as it was intended... ... for your car!
161566
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Waste Pro at (386) 788-8890
