+ Painter donates art to Ormond Beach A reproduction of a painting called, “South of Timacuan” was presented to the city of Ormond Beach by artist Barry Barnett at the recent City Commission meeting. Suzanne Heddy, executive director of the Ormond Beach Historical Society, told the commissioners that Barnett, who lived in Ormond Beach as a child, wanted to show appreciation for the city’s commitment to preserving history. “It’s an honor to support the Ormond Beach Historical Society,” he said. The painting depicts an eagle trying to steal a fish from an osprey. Barnett will have a one-man show at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building Feb. 27 and 28.
About 50 men and women of St. James Episcopal Church, 44 S. Halifax Drive, have formed a group to pay down the church’s debt, and they are planning an Arts and Crafts Fair for March 21 and 22 at the church. The Rev. Ernest Bennett, interim rector, said they have cut the debt in half in the past year, not only with their own efforts, but by inspiring others to donate. He said it’s similar to when a child has a lemonade stand, trying to raise money for charity. Others see the effort, and say, “I can do something to help.” “They have been a source of income and also a catalyst for very

Tara Dills and DB Pickles owner Pete Polzella are fighting cancer together. And both say that if it wasn’t for community support — and little bit a humor — they wouldn’t have made it this far. Dills was originally diagnosed with colon cancer three years ago at stage zero. Doctors congratulated her and said, “You are so lucky that we caught it so early.” Nine months later, she felt the pain of kidney stones out of nowhere, and went back to the doctor early for her colonosocopy. She was told the cancer

City Commissioners approved a settlement in a slip-and-fall case at their Feb. 17 meeting, but it was a 3-to-2 vote after a debate on whether the city should settle other similar cases or go to court. The city’s legal staff had reached a settlement amount of $30,000 in mediation, and recommended it to the commission. The case involved a then 63-yearold woman who in 2010 was walking on the wooden pier on the west side of the Granada Bridge and allegedly slipped on a “black gooey area” consisting of “bird droppings, algae and fish scale.” Her claim said she sustained a left wrist injury which required surgery and physical therapy, incurring approximately $33,388 in medical expenses. The claim says she still has pins in her hand and has lost dexterity. She sought recovery for economic losses, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. The liability issues for a jury to consider at trial would be whether or not the city failed to exercise reasonable care to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition. In December, the commission approved a settlement in the amount of $37,000 in a lawsuit that involved a fall on Seville Street when a woman allegedly tripped on pothole. Florida Statutes limit the city’s damages to $100,000 to any one person, which is the amount demanded in both cases. Before the vote on Feb. 17, Mayor Ed Kelley questioned the settlement. He said people should accept responsibility for their own actions. The person had been going to the pier for four years, and should have known it was wet. “When are we going to stand up and fight someone?” he continued. “I’m very sorry that the person is hurt. I do not believe there is any way we can make sure there is no water or slippery things on that dock.” He said perhaps the city should

‘the hottest new thing’ By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Gourmet beef jerky shop opens Camouflage Dave’s Jerky and More: With use of marinades, it’s not your dad’s beef jerky. After making jerky for friends and family for 30 years, Dave Porton hopes to take advantage of the surge in popularity of the meaty snack. He and his wife, Maria, recently opened Camouflage Dave’s Beef Jerky and More, where they sell their own homemade brand along with other selections. Jerky, the ancient method of preserving meat, has come into its own. An Internet search turns up several articles on how it’s the latest thing. Once only found in glass jars at gas stations, it’s now on the top shelf of food stores in a variety of flavors, as well as gourmet shops like Camouflage Dave’s. “It’s the hottest new thing,” Maria Porton said. Now, 52, Dave Porton started eating jerky when he was 14 years old. He said the brand he always bought went out of business, so he researched how it was made. He later learned to make marinades, so his jerky bursts with juice and flavor. After he started to ride motorcycles, he found it was the perfect snack to take on a trip. His riding partners also liked it, and that got him thinking about selling it one day. His homemade jerky is called the Signature line, which includes black pepper, teriyaki, barbecue and sweet heat. They also have some of their recipes produced by another company, offering habanera, jalapeno, whiskey, IPA beer, sweet and spicy, and more. To make jerky, they first buy

Then the process of cutting, marinating for 48 hours and drying takes a week. “It’s a labor of love,” said his wife, who handles the sales and marketing for the store. They also sell other brands, but all meat is from the USA. A wide range of sauces and dog treats are also available. The available meats and flavors can be overwhelming, and Maria Porton said that’s where customer service plays an important role. “I can explain the varieties and tell you what they taste like,” she said. “Sometimes I have samples.” One reason for the popularity of jerky is that it’s all meat. She
said she ate it for the protein when she was a body builder. Another intriguing thing about jerky is that “exotic” meats are available. She said kangaroo is currently the most popular, and python is also a top choice. Other exotic meats include buffalo, venison and elk, and they are all farm-raised. The Portons know they will have big crowds at their location during the motorcycle events, and hope to build up a local customer base for the rest of the year. “The Rossmeyers have been wonderful,” she said. “They helped us get off the ground.” The Portons knew each other 30 years ago in Columbia, Mary-

land, before they went their separate ways. They got together, with the help of Facebook a year ago and were married within months. They then relocated to Ormond Beach where his mother retired in the late 1990s, and opened the store. Dave Porton was an adjuster for Allstate for 18 years and now works at a local body shop, while also cooking jerky. Maria Porton minds the store during the day. Camouflage Dave is a nickname, because he has always worn a lot of camouflage clothes. The store is open at 11 a.m. daily, is located next to Saint’s & Sinners Pub at 1637 N. U.S. 1. Call 256-3660.
‘GET OUT AND GET MOVING’ By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor
Volunteers share motivations for giving Whether it’s packaging food or running a thrift store, Ormond residents are giving their time. Marie Halpin and Anna Stermensky cannot understand why anyone would want to stay home all day long. Volunteers for the Family Renew Community’s Secret Attic Thrift Shop, the ladies both agree that it’s their duty to donate their time. “You finish work, you retire and then you go volunteer,” Halpin said. “I want to give back to my community, and I want to keep my sanity. We have a lot of people who come in here to shop who bring us cakes and tell us they appreciate how hard we work.” Halpin originally started volunteering in New York as a grief counselor. “I lost a daughter at 19, and I decided I do this ... for her,” Halpin said. “I thought this could be my little gift for her. I used to volunteer here one day a week, but my husband died so now I’m here three days a week.” Stermensky volunteers two days at the thrift shop and one day at her church, Our Lady of Lords. “It’s very healthy,” Halpin said. “Don’t sit home and mourn. Get out and get moving. When you volunteer, you meet the finest people in the world. The cream of the crop. The widows all say, ‘I’m so depressed. Come sit down and have a glass of wine with me in the evening.’ I tell them to get out and go volunteer. Don’t sit around drinking wine and being

depressed.” “My husband is boring,” Stermensky said with a laugh. “He said it’s good that I go out.” The two worker bees have more than just their love for volunteering in common. They both come from different countries. Halpin moved to the United States 58 years ago from Ireland, and Stermensky moved 50 years ago from Slovakia. “I came here for vacation and I forgot to go back,” Stermensky laughed.
Volusia Literacy Council
Bill and Carol Rice have been donating their time to the Volu-
sia Literacy Council since 1999. It wasn’t until they witnessed the problem first-hand, that they made it their personal mission. “My wife and I were at a church when we came across an adult who couldn’t read,” Bill Rice said. “We felt it to be a very worthwhile cause.” Bill Rice said he and his wife never found the time to volunteer when they were working fulltime and raising their kids. He’s worked as a respiratory therapist since 1969, and he’s just now moving to a part-time position. But there isn’t much relaxing in his new-found free time. “Through volunteering you get to meet different people,” he said. “You could be sitting in front of the TV wasteland all day. But this is something that helps the whole community.” Being a volunteer tutor to adult students who dropped out of school has also been something that has helped Rice himself. “I’m teaching them a lot of stuff from way back when,” he said. “My math, punctuation and spelling have gotten a lot better. You have to learn the stuff in order to teach it.” Bill and Carol Rice have been married for 44 years, and decided to do the volunteering together. They enjoyed watching the success of some of their students. “One passed his GED and another one has starting taking his
GED,” Bill Rice said. “We’ve been doing this together for a while, and we’re going to continue with the Volusia Literacy Council indefinitely.”
Get Involved
Volunteers For Community Impact recently announced its first Volunteer Fest. Held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Lakeside Community Center in Port Orange, the family friendly event showcases the many different volunteer opportunities available in Volusia County. The event includes music, Zumba, food, activities for children, and door prizes. Attendees will have the opportunity to peruse volunteer opportunities available with various local nonprofits and businesses. “We have 100 nonprofits match volunteers with,” Director of Development and Marketing Richard Paul said. “Giving back to the community is a win-win. When people reach out and help others, they are really helping themselves.” In the past years, VCI volunteers have given 356,123 hours of service to the Central Florida community, which is more than $8 million worth of time. Call 407-298-4180 or email volunteer@vcifl.org. The city of Ormond Beach also offers volunteer-matching services to residents. Call 676-3324.
Halifax Health commemorated Betty Jane France’s commitment to the wellness of the community on Feb. 18 with the unveiling of a statue of her likeness in front of the France Tower at Halifax Health Medical Center. Former Daytona Beach Mayor Glenn Ritchey and Halifax Health Foundation Executive Director Joe Petrock worked with community leaders to raise the funds for the statue to thank France for all she has done, especially in regard to women and children’s health care. The statue was created by sculptor John Lajba who has sculpted Bill and Annie B. France, Bill France Jr., Dale Earnhardt, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and NBA All-Star Vince Carter. In addition, Mike Helton, vice chairman of NASCAR, presented a check for $150,000 from the NASCAR Foundation to Halifax Health.

take a stand of not settling and send a message to those in the future. Commissioner Troy Kent supported the mayor. “How many times have you heard me say the exact same thing?” he asked. City attorney Randy Hayes said the legal staff would prepare the case for trial if that is what the commission desired, but said the amount is worth considering. “It’s the upper limit of what we’d be comfortable with,” he said. He said the expenses incurred by the plaintiff often drive the amount of the settlement. Kelley said he once hired a lawyer to fight a speeding ticket in California because he was not guilty, and he won. “I’d rather spend $500 and win if I’m right than pay $150 for a ticket I didn’t deserve,” he said. “But that’s just me.” Commissioner Rick Boehm said he was involved in that type of litigation for 34 years before he retired as an attorney. He told the mayor that as a matter of policy, he had an excellent argument, but he pointed out that Florida is a comparative negligence state. He said the jury can decide how much each party is at fault and award damages accordingly. For example, if the damages are $75,000, and the jury decides both are at fault, the plaintiff could be awarded half, or $37,500. He said the jury could feel sympathetic toward the plaintiff and decide to “give her something.” Also, he said, if the jury didn’t like the city’s presentation, they could award as much as 100% of the claim. He pointed out after that the plaintiff pays the lawyer, and any health insurance lien, they will not receive much money. There is a $10,000 health insurance lien on the settlement. Kelley said he had made his point. “I don’t think it’s fair and right that people have a slip and fall in an area where they travel and you the citizens have to pay for it,” he said to the audience. The commission voted to approve the settlement, with Kelley and Kent voting no.

Bennett said he believes that caused further loss of enrollment in the grade school, because some parents lost confidence in the stability of the school. He said the Friends of St. James has been a great benefit. “It’s a wonderful thing to see,” he said one morning in the craft room, where people were getting busy. “They are here to serve and benefit the parish.”

CANCER / FROM PAGE 1 had moved to her liver, and she was now at stage four. “No rhyme or reason,” said Dills, mother of three boys and one girl. “I’m like one in 10,000. The worst part was going to sit with the liver doctor who told me I had five years to live. My daughter was 10. I was a basket case.” Through her full-time job fighting not only the cancer, but hospital infections, five surgeries chemotherapy reactions, foreclosure and trying to be a functioning member of her family, Dills also held a part-time job as a hostess for DB Pickles in Ormond Beach. “I walked into DB Pickles with my daughter in tow,” Dills said. “Pete was watching me on the camera I later found out, and liked me. Hired me on the spot, and I started the next day.” Dills found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be another shoulder she could lean on. Customers and fellow employees were always checking up on her. “Pete was so awesome,” Dills said. “I had never worked at a restaurant before, ever. So it took a while, but I loved it. I’m a people person. One of the customers friended me on Facebook. Some of them ask the waitresses. ‘Where’s Tara? How is she doing?’” Dills didn’t make Polzella aware of her condition when she was first hired. At the same time, Polzella had been diagnosed with stage four of a rare form of bone cancer called Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. The former Air Force veteran and retired law enforcement officer always managed to stay healthy, and the fact that he was only 50 when the cancer began came as quite a shock. “I had the cancer for seven years before I was diagnosed,” Polzella said. “My symptoms were simple, and it took them a couple of months

FAILED ATTEMPT By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Suspect doesn’t get far from bank A suspected bank robber was arrested within minutes after he ran out of a bank about 4 p.m. Feb. 19 after a failed attempt, according to an Ormond Beach Police Department spokesman. A teller said the suspect was alone and entered the Suntrust Bank, 160 N. Nova Road, and demanded money. She said he implied he was armed, and had a beard, sun glasses and hat and a black-hooded sweatshirt according to the report. Apparently, the suspect became impatient while waiting for the teller and fled before getting any money. He has been identified by police as Matthew William Semione, 26. A Volusia deputy in an unmarked car saw a man matching the description running out of the bank and driving off in his white Ford pickup truck with a law enforcement logo on the sides and rear. He called on his radio to say that he was following the suspect. Meanwhile, Ormond Beach police were responding to a silent alarm at the bank. Using information supplied by the deputy, the officers and
sheriff’s deputies stopped the suspect at the intersection of West Granada Boulevard and Orchard Avenue without pursuit. The suspect was removed from the truck and placed in handcuffs. He had a crumpled up piece of paper, which he threw on the ground. It was found to be the holdup note. He had a large foldup knife in his pants pocket. In a post-Miranda interview, the suspect admitted to passing the note at the bank, according to police. He said he had been struggling with money and had a girlfriend and a baby on the way. Inside the truck, the police found a hat, blackhooded sweatshirt, sunglasses and a pad of paper matching the holdup note. A teller was transported to the scene, and she identified the suspect. The investigating officers found that the suspect borrowed the truck from his employer. A person from the company arrived and took custody of the truck. The suspect was transported to Volusia County Branch Jail without incident.

Personally, I don’t consider Ormond Beach a small town. I mean, once you’ve driven from Tomoka State Park to Destination Daytona, everything pretty much feels a million miles away. The 20-minute traffic lights don’t help either, but we’ll save that for another column. Even though Ormond isn’t small in size, there aren’t many strangers. In this beach EMILY BLACKWOOD town, it seems like everybody is connected in some way. Whether I’m interviewing someone or just buying groceries, I always discover a new twist in the Ormond Beach social circle. My current favorite connection is Ed Kelley and Taylor Swift. His famous son, Brian Kelley, was on stage with Swift during the New Year’s Eve show. I don’t think anyone’s going to beat that anytime soon. A recent trip to Starbucks just validated the “Cheers”-like atmosphere that inhabits this town. There’s a colorful carousel of people that come through Starbucks Coffee on West Granada Boulevard. Even on a Monday afternoon, where the majority of nine-to-fivers are simply stopping in for their lunch break, nobody is in a rush to leave. Oh, and almost everybody greets the barista by her first name, which I think is Sharon. One woman walks in smiling with her baby, whom she immediately shows off
BREAKING NEWS: THE YARN-BOMBER HAS BEEN NAMED!
The great mystery of Ormond Beach has finally been solved! Joyce Inderkum took credit for the scarf wrapped around the alligator statue at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum when she made the following comment on the story online: “I actually had bombed the whole area before the holidays, and all I know still remains are the Christmas scarves on the Fireman’s statue on A1A and the scarves on the Captain Hook and Davey Jones at Pirates Cove Miniature Golf on A1A. I bombed all over, including the ballpark, and that whole park area there along the river. I was only met with one objection, and that was when I tried to tie a scarf on the octopus at Ocean Walk, the security guard told me if I left it there he would have to take it down. It was a fabulous experience, I loved it and plan to do it again next holiday. I know Tammy at Sweet Marlay’s in Daytona has been trying to get a Yarn Bombing Squad going…..Textilers, UNITE! I am thrilled to have found out about this article, a friend alerted me. I hope the scarf is still there. Glad to know my vandalism was seen as art instead of destruction.” to the barista who might be Sharon. They chat about daycare and coffee until the smiley mom hops in line for her afternoon pickup. It seems as if every other person who comes through this establishment knows someone behind the counter. Hugs and high-pitched “hellos” are exchanged as frequently as credit cards and cappuccinos. One man feels so comfortable, he leaves his laptop unguarded for at least a half hour while he makes a milk run for the barista. Due to the slight change in sunny weather, there are an unusual amount of people in bathing suits at Starbucks. Their hair drips from the salt water, causing small puddles on the floor that are soon labeled with a yellow caution sign. In the store at the same time is a woman with pink flip flops, wet hair and a tye-dye beach coverup and a blonde woman with
business pants and a heavy white coat. The contrast of Florida’s current weather patterns can be visibly seen inside an Ormond Starbucks. I’ve only been sitting at my computer pretending to work for half hour, and I’ve already witnessed so much. My short travels and story assignments this week all seem to have a theme: community involvement. Whether it’s dedicating a few days of your week to working at a community thrift store (see page 3), helping out an employee who was diagnosed with cancer (see page 1) or simply getting to know the name of your barista, giving back does so much for a town — and ourselves — than we realize. DB Pickles Owner Pete Polzella said it perfectly in an interview we had this week: “If we’re not using our time to help other people, shame on us.” Email Emily Blackwood at emily@ormondbeachobserver.com

Churches of many different denominations spoke of the same topic in their sermons this week: the season of Lent. Held from Feb. 18 to April 2, Lent is commonly observed by Catholics through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Father Thomas Barrett, pastor of St. Brendan’s Catholic Church, has noticed an increase of 50% in attendance for daily Masses. “Some families have a bowl at dinner where they collect money to be donated to a worthy cause,” said. “I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this, but when you turn on the TV, everyone is capitalized on the Catholic’s food. We don’t eat meat on Fridays, so you see all kinds of seafood specials trying to entice us. We have our
Lenten Soup events to keep into the spirit of the season.” He also said he thinks Ormond Beach is one of the areas where the celebration of Lent is seen more than normal. “We have a lot of snowbirds here,” Barrett said. “We have them coming to our Lent services because it’s something they grew up with.” The snowbirds have plenty of options of Lent services this year. Tomoka United Methodist is also observing the 40-day season. “The season of Lent is become more and more observed in the Protestant churches,” Tomoka United Methodist Pastor Kandace Brooks said. “It used to be associated with only Roman Catholic churches. I think in general Lent is
becoming more observed. You see people who are not churchgoers who observe. That’s very different. I think it has become so engraved in our culture. Maybe they’re not connected to a traditional church, but they are connected to the practices and the rhythm of the church.” At TUM, Brooks said, “I try to empathize the traditional giving something up or fasting for something, but not just candy or coffee. I try to suggest giving up bad habits like being impatient or too much computer time. I think the even more important aspect of it is picking something up. Doing some additional volunteer work or having more prayer time. Things that not only get you more attuned to the pres-
ent moment, but more connected with God. Sometimes that’s through service and other people.” Father Bill Zamborsky, of Prince of Peace Catholic Church, said he’s not surprised that people think Lent has expanded to other churches, because it used to be practiced by all Christians. “If you go back 2,000 years there was only one Christian church,” Zamborsky said. “Christians developed this liturgical cycle, and that was rooted in all Christianity. I think some Christians got away from that and are now rediscovering their roots.” He also said that it is really up to people practicing the Lent disciplines at home to really observe the season.

to discuss key federal issues. Partington and Young met with Sen. Bill Nelson and staff from the offices of Rep. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. John Mica. Topics included long-term transportation planning and funding; tax reform threatening the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds which are used to fund local infrastructure projects; and FEMA funding for disaster relief. At the Feb. 17 City Commission meeting, Partington said FEMA has “defunded” some projects in the state. For example, Naples was promised $30 million during the 2004 hurricanes, and then 10 years later FEMA said $9 million should be refunded. “This has not happened to us, but, because of where we live, it could happen,” Partington said.

10:30 p.m. — 1600 Block of North U.S. 1. Fraud. The motel clerk said four guests had said they had received calls from the front desk, but she said the calls were not from the front desk. Also, the calls could not have come from outside the motel, because outside calls come through the front desk and she did not have any incoming calls. The caller had to be a guest at the motel. To call room to room, it is only necessary to dial the room number, and there is no caller ID. All calls were received 9-10 p.m. A guest said she received a call from someone who identified themselves as Allen Jones. He said he was the general manager of the motel and had done a computer upgrade. He said all of her information was lost, so he needed her name, address, phone number, credit or debit card number and how many night she was staying. She said she gave him her name and last four digits of her debit card and nothing else. She became concerned and called police. Another guest was contacted, and he said he only gave his name when he received the call. He told the person he would not give out the other information over the phone. He then went to the front desk to tell what happened. Two other guests said they were also called. None of the guests would sign a witness statement. They said they did not want to pursue anything further.

attempted a burglary at their residence. He had noticed damage to the house. The victim then called police. Upon arrival, the officer noticed that three jalousie window panes had been removed, and the plastic screen had been pushed in on the side of the house. The rear porch door was open. A jalousie pane had been removed from the door, and the window screen was cut, which appeared to allow the suspect to unlock the door. The sliding glass door to the house was also open. Several closets and drawers were open, but nothing appeared to be out of place. The officer contacted the victim by phone and he said there was nothing of value in the house. Fingerprints were taken from the sliding glass door and a wine bottle in the kitchen. The victim said he would arrange for someone to make repairs to the house. — Compiled by Wayne Grant
The City Commission will hear a request at a future meeting to amend city codes to allow a business in which customers sip beer or wine while learning to paint. The city’s Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval to the commission at the Feb. 12 meeting. Krista Goodrich, president of Masterpiece Mixers, wants to start a business in which groups of friends create a painting with the help of an instructor. They would bring their own beer or wine. “The concept is that it’s a night out for women,” said Goodrich. “It’s just something fun to do.” She said most of her customers tend to be women. She has 10 franchises, but she would operate the one in Ormond Beach. A resident of Georgia, she recently bought a house on the beachside here. The city Planning Department structured the proposed change in the code so that the usage would only be allowed in the downtown area. “This is where the city wants to have unique uses,” said Senior Planner Steve Spraker. “This is where we want people to come.” Goodrich said it would be similar to friends enjoying wine while playing cards. Board member Lori Tolland said she thought it was a cool concept. “It’s a lot of fun and would add to the downtown area,” she said. The owner has a planned location at 154 W. Granada Blvd. and would be a tenant of the Highlander Corp., which is

Channel
owned by Bill Jones who has renovated several properties in the city. “We are thrilled,” said Dorian Burt, assistant to Jones. Last year, a similar operation, called Painting with a Twist, came before city officials for discussion. However, the owner did not pursue the request and started the business on International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach. The amendments to the code that would allow the Masterpiece Mixers business are tentatively scheduled for a first reading by the City Commission on March 17.
Rezoning and Annie Oakley’s Saloon
In other action, the board recommended that the City Commission approve zoning changes along North U.S. 1 to help finalize the Interlocal Agreement with Volusia County. County zoning will be replaced with city zoning along the corridor. Becky Weedo, senior planner, said they used city codes that were most similar to the county codes that were in place. She said there is a business that is now nonconforming to code, Annie Oakley’s Saloon. The area is zoned is for restaurants, and requires 51% food service. At the board meeting, the owner of the Annie Oakley’s Saloon asked if she can continue her business, even though she was now nonconforming. She was advised that she can continue operating as before. wayne@ormondbeachobserver.com

Justin Browder placed first in the 119pound weight division at Seabreeze’s meet against FPC, New Smyrna and Spruce Creek.
Volusia players scored seven of the nine goals in the inaugural Flagler/Volusia All-Star Senior Soccer Game.
Crabs get a winner in weightlifting While the Sandcrabs didn’t do well as a team, Seabreeze weightlifter Justin Browder won the 119-pound weightlifting division against Flagler Palm Coast, New Smyrna and Spruce Creek Thursday, Feb. 19, at FPC. “During my last lift, my buddy Cameron (Mitchener) was yelling ‘Come on, Justin,’ which gave me an adrenaline kick that helped me get the 195-pound clean JEFF and jerk,” Browder said. “When I saw DAWSEY the three white lights, I yelled, ‘Yeah!’ and fist bumped Cameron and the rest of my team.” Browder, a senior, made it as far as the sub-sectionals in his sophomore year, and he sat out all his junior season with an injury. After a full recovery, Browder says that he’s used his time wisely and has trained well for this year to make it to the state finals.

Volusia/Flagler seniors put on show in all-star game In its inaugural year, the Flagler/Volusia Senior All-Star game goes down to the wire. Rich Weber, the Flagler/Volusia Senior All-Star game’s event organizer and Matanzas soccer coach, walked off the pitch happy for all the seniors who participated in the event and who got to showcase their skills for the last time in their high school uniforms Friday, Feb. 20, at the Indian Trails Sports Complex. “I expected it to be good, and it far exceeded my expectations,” Weber said. “The level of play was good. Sometimes, when you get a lot of players in different areas, they don’t play the same styles, but it came together really quick.” The Dark Uniforms beat the White Uniforms in a high-scoring 5-4 exhibition that was decided in the last five minutes. Flagler Palm Coast’s Nate Monsanto put Dark on the board first with a goal in the first five minutes of the match. The Whites quickly responded with a goal by Taylor’s Christian Ramirez, but the Dark Uniforms led at halftime 4-1, after University’s Asair Casas, Spruce Creek’s Liam Tate and FPC’s Robby Ferguson netted goals. Coming out of the half, the White Uniforms stormed back to tie the game at 4-4, with three goals of the own from Spruce Creek’s Dylan Villalobos, DeLand’s Nate Bodger and Seabreeze’s Brooks Davis, who scored the goal of the night with a volley on a half turn. “It was beautiful,” said Davis about his goal that excited everyone. “I was thinking, ‘This is it. This is the all-star game, my last game as a high school player,’ so I just ripped it. It was definitely the best goal I’ve ever scored.” Davis also mentioned how special this year was for him because the Sandcrabs were successful in Robert Wallace’s last year as Seabreeze’s principal. In the waning minutes of the second half, all the players on the sidelines

Flagler and Volusia senior all-stars
the Dark Uniforms the victory. “Both teams played really well, and it was fun,” said Mainland’s Zach Van Heusen. “They picked the coldest day, but it was definitely well worth it. They should continue with the game.” Father Lopez head coach Jon Kinsler, who was on the White Uniforms’ coaching staff, said, “I think it was very beneficial overall. A lot of the kids play as rivals, but they got to play as teammates, which made for a good game, and some of the players who play on the same team were split up, and it was fun for them to compete against each other.” “I think it’s good exposure for kids who aren’t sure they want to play in college or not,” Kinsler added. “If we can get some more coaches out there and watch, maybe they can get noticed and further their playing careers.” Players from Ormond Beach included Zach Van Heusen from Mainland; Alex Orlolani, Edwin Fuentes, Jacob Espittia and Brooks Davis from Seabreeze; Collins Maude, Doug Abate, Carlos Metcalf and Matt Lafleur from Father Lopez. The coaches talked about making the event a double header with boys’ and girls’ all-star games going forward.

Detectives from the Ormond Beach Police Department taught students what it takes to be a cop.
Tomoka Elementary students get a lesson in local careers Breaking news: If you want to be a cop, math is really important. At Tomoka Elementary School’s annual Career Day, students discovered how the academic lessons they were learning in class translated into different types of jobs — making the school work that much cooler. After discussing footprints, blood splatter and DNA evidence, Ormond Beach Police Detective Tom Larsen told Jim Ravede’s fifth-grade class how the things he learned in school came in handy when he was on patrol. “Before I was a detective, I worked in traffic homicide, which is really bad car accidents,” Larsen said. “I was amazed at how much of that was math and algebra, when you’re

trying to determine factors, angles of the road and figure out speeds.” Larsen was just one of the 25 local community members asked to participate in Career Day. School Counselor Jewel Johnson said they had many career covered, from insurance agents to photographers to lawyers. “I’m really happy with this year, because we have such a variety,” Johnson said. “We’re trying to help the kids to see how care to education plays into career. The speakers are talking a lot about why it’s important to be responsible and respectful in their particular careers.” Larsen and his partner, Detective Tara Kist, had the classroom captivated while they spoke about the different things they’ve had to do on the job, and the skills from school they’ve used daily. “It’s important to pay attention to your teachers,” Larsen said. “When I go write my report, I’m amazed when I reach 3,000 or 4,000 words. I realize this is why I paid attention in school. Every job will have you incorporate the skills you learn here, no matter what profession you take.”
WHAT CAN STUDENTS LEARN FROM YOUR JOB?
“I try to let them know that they need to find something they really love to do. I can explain to them why I love what I do, why I do that, so they can find their careers. It’s the most important thing.”
— Dr. David Ramshaw, of Surgical Associates of Volusia
“Character. Good character, good reputation and impartiality. They need to see that women can do the same thing that everybody else can do. You’re not confined by your looks or your height. Just study hard and you can be anything you want to be.”
— Dawn Fields, Volusia County Court Judge
“I want them to know that insurance is something that everybody needs, and that it can be fun. You build lifelong careers selling insurance, and you get to help people.”
— Valerie French, insurance agent “I try to reinforce the fact that a good education is the key to any career. It’s the most important thing. You have to have good grades to get to the next level.
— Michael Politis, attorney
“I think it shows them that there are a lot of different careers out there. They have a lot of choices that they can choose from.”
