Pink building caught curator’s eye. Targets 2016 opening. APRIL O’NEIL CHIEF BUSINESS WRITER
EXCLUSIVE
What is to be done with the abandoned building on North U.S. 1 that used to be the gentleman’s club, Cheaters? Max Chapstick, who owns seventeen wax museums in the Orlando area, was visiting Ormond Beach last week and fell in love with the pink building. “I’ve been looking for a town that would allow me to have a bright pink building,” Chapstick said. “I love Ormond Beach!” The announcement came with some trepidation, however. Bill Quill, a local beat poet, said he didn’t think wax images sent a good message to children. “What if they start eating crayons?” he said at the commission meeting. “Did anyone think of that?”

Although Andy Romano Beachfront Park has long been praised as one of the jewels of the city of Ormond Beach, the future is even brighter. The new architectural drawings are in, and whoever buys the condos in the proposed 15-story building will continue to enjoy pristine views of the ocean. “We are also planning to paint a mural of the ocean on the back side of the building,” said Sly Winkton, president and CEO of Condos For Us Inc. “That way, the kids at the splash park can use their imaginations to the fullest and experience the waves.

The United Nations wasn’t sure what to do. After giving a certificate of appreciation to the woman they thought was Hillary Clinton, the real Hillary Clinton showed up. “That one was a pickle,” recalled Babs Razorly, an Ormond Beach blonde who impersonates the former first lady on weekends. “I had to get escorted out, but they did let me keep the certificate.” Razorly has studied Clinton since the Rodham days. She has posters of all the major scandals. READ MORE ON PAGE 2
Sam Spread, 26, and Nancy Nutella, 30, met online while playing Texas Hold ’em online. By a strange coincidence, they both lived in Ormond Beach. They decided to get married, but thought it would be extra fun to not actually meet in person until the day of their wedding. “The first time I saw Nancy in the flesh was when she was walking down the aisle,” Sam said. “It was like a dream come true. She was even more beautiful than her ‘Hold ’em’ avatar.” The couple and their guests later enjoyed a virtual wedding cake. Nancy threw her bouquet of flowers over her head, and they were caught by Sam’s pet llama. “I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean,” Sam chuckled. “But it sounds like a good omen to me. That llama usually can’t catch anything.”

Teachers stand up Work to contract: Hours don’t match salary? EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR
Volusia Teachers Association President Andrew Spar regularly receives text messages from the teachers of his two daughters asking for common school supplies like paper to be donated. “They don’t have enough to get through the rest of the year,” he said. Conditions like a lack of tools and classroom cleanliness are part of the driving force behind county teachers participating in a work-to-contract initiative, meaning they are only working for the contracted hours they are paid for. According to Spar, the stance is a little bit about everything. From working conditions to pay to genuine respect, teachers are asking the School Board for real, lasting change. “We need change in the district,” Spar said. “We have a School Board that says they want to make change, but now we’re SEE WORK PAGE 5A

A single mother with a 3-yearold walks into the Ormond Beach Housing Authority office on New Britain Avenue. She’s in trouble. She’s about to become homeless, but she has heard recently about low-rent public apartments, so she has hope. Can she have an application? Tuesdae Kleppinger, public housing coordinator, takes calls and walk-in requests like this woman’s on a regular basis. Some are veterans. Some are homeless. People who have lost their jobs and don’t have anywhere else to go. “A single mother or father with a child under 5, they would only qualify for a one-bedroom unit,” she said. “I only have six units, and they’re full, and the individuals have lived there for years, and they’re not going anywhere until they go to a home or to heaven because they’re on a fixed income, and they’re very happy where they are. … I have people who have been on the waiting list since 2004. That’s very frustrating to me because I have to tell the individual, ‘You can’t apply because you don’t have enough people in your household to qualify for anything larger than a one bedroom.’” In addition to the six onebedroom units, the OBHA manages 35 others from two to four bedrooms, and they’re all full. In the past, the waiting list has ballooned almost to 500, which translates to a five-year wait. Today, the phone number for the office informs callers that even the waiting list is closed. It has dwindled down to 88, Kleppinger said, and it might open again soon, but when that happens, a flood of applications will come in once again. Low-rent public housing is one of two main programs administered by the OBHA, which is a local office under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The 41 apartments, located on five different streets around town (New Britain Avenue, Washington Street, Ramsey Terrace and Flormond Avenue), are owned and managed by the OBHA. The second main program is Section 8 housing, which is more expensive; it offers vouchers for residents to help them pay rent at privately owned homes elsewhere in the city. OBHA has 219 vouchers, and all are being used. The waiting list is 471 families long. “All I can do is refer them to Daytona housing or DeLand or Flagler,” Kleppinger said. “If they don’t have room, then they go back to sleeping in a tent.” Kleppinger is empathetic. She
Striving for something better One resident makes the case for the city of Ormond Beach to approve the $15,000 waiver for OBHA. BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR
Joanna Williams, 44, has lived on Washington Street for three years, and she takes pride in her low-rent apartment, supplied by the Ormond Beach Housing Authority. She bought a discounted set of chairs with bright red cushions for her patio, and she hand-painted the wooden roses in the wreath that hangs on her front door. “It shouldn’t make a difference where you come from or how much you make,” she said. “Even if you’re poor, you still want to feel good about yourself and where you live.” According to Tuesdae Kleppinger, public housing coordinator with OBHA, Williams is a prime example of someone who is improving her situation through public housing, without abusing the system. Williams never planned to live on Washington Street. Five years ago, she was married with two children. She and her husband each had jobs. “I was making $9 per hour, and he was making $15, so we were well off.” Then, divorce. Then, Williams lost her job. She applied to live in low-rent public housing and was put on the waiting list. She moved to an apartment and struggled to pay the bills every month, while applying to 10-20 jobs per week. Then, unemployment checks ran out. Then, the children’s father lost his job, and child support stopped. By 2012, she was out of options. An eviction notice arrived. “It looked like a warrant,” Williams recalled. She called a family meeting grew up in public housing in Oklahoma, and, when she first moved to Ormond Beach in 2002, she was homeless. “I know how that feels, when you don’t know where to lay your head at night.” SHORT-TERM IMPROVEMENTS
Caroline Reviere, executive director of the OBHA, said Ormond’s public housing shortage is not unique. “It’s worldwide,” she said. “Other agencies have waiting
with her children and explained that she would do everything she could to keep the family off the streets. She was frightened of the unknown, and also embarrassed that she had fallen so far. “But it didn’t get me down, and that’s because I had faith,” she said. “Whatever it is, Heavenly Father would not let my kids be on the street. I’ve been through a lot of things I my life. He’s delivered me before, and I knew he would deliver me again.” Finally, she went back to the OBHA with her eviction notice and explained her situation. As it turned out, she had risen to be among the top few people on the list, and so her application was approved. She had avoided the streets, after all. Now, she is going to college and has dreams of opening a holistic health clinic. She graduates in 2017 — the same year her daughter graduates from high school. Williams has been vocal about the proposed improvements to the low-rent public housing apartments. She hopes the City Commission will approve the waiver to free up about $15,000 for the OBHA to fix roofs and improve playgrounds, etc. After all, she said, this is Ormond Beach. The annual Christmas parade, one of the city’s best events, begins right in front of her home. “If it’s a place where they’re going to line up, I don’t want our apartment complex to be an eyesore,” she said. She added: “I’m appreciative of even being able to live (here). I’m not complaining. It’s a blessing. But there’s room for enhancement, and you should always strive to better yourself.” lists that are closed permanently because it’s like 10 years.” Like other public housing authorities, the OBHA is reliant on HUD for funding. A 2011 report found that $26 billion worth of capital improvements were needed nationwide in public housing. The 2016 proposed budget includes $1.97 billion in the Public Housing Capital Fund. Reviere, who took her current position in 2014, said she is still assessing Ormond’s situation to determine a course of action. But

EMERGENCY SHELTER
2002. Tuesdae Kleppinger slept in her Jeep. She hated chicken and dumplings, but that was the only food she had, so she opened the can and ate it cold. Now 44 years old, she had moved to Tampa in 2002 after a divorce. She couldn’t find a job, and so when someone suggested she come to Ormond Beach with them and work, she followed along. The people proved to be untrustworthy, and so she was stuck. The stress of homelessness clung to her. “You don’t know where you’re going to park to sleep, you don’t know where you’re going to shower,” she recalled. “The police approach you, and they really discourage homelessness in the city, and ask you what you’re doing. ‘Are you loitering?’ And the worst thing was, you go to bed not knowing what the next day’s going to bring, and you wake up trying to battle depression.” One day she spotted a sign that said, “Emergency Shelter.” Her spirits rose. In her imagination, she drove to the shelter and took a clean shower, ate hot food and found a comfortable cot. But it was all in her imagination. She
getting, ‘Give us time,’ and, ‘We’ll see.’ We need change now. We don’t need another school year to go by.” But that’s where it looks like things are headed. The Volusia County School Board sent a declaration of impasse to the Volusia Teachers Organization after they failed to reach an agreement in negotiation. “The unresolved issues include negotiations for wages and benefits to be paid to teachers for fiscal year 2014-2015,” the letter said. Laura Hoskin, first-grade and kindergarten teacher at Pine Trail Elementary said she would like to see wages for teachers more competitive with those of surrounding counties. “I’d like for teachers to be paid for years of experience that they have,” she said. “Teachers deserve respect for all the time and effort we put in. We need time to do all the paperwork and mandates required by the district and state.” Spar said the impasse itself was a sign of disrespect for teachers because it came in at 7 p.m. March 25, right in the middle of spring break. “Anyone who does negotiations knows they are built on relationships and acting professional,” he said. “It shows how little respect they have for us.

members in January and asked them how valued they felt. Ninety-eight percent said they do not feel valued. Then we asked if what we’re doing right now is good for kids, and 99% of teachers said no.” The next step, according to Spar, is for the VTO to select a magistrate from a list of seven names to hear both sides of the issue and make a ruling. A decision of the magistrate must be made by April 15, but Spar said that the magistrate’s ruling isn’t binding, so the issue could still drag on. “This process will take two to three months at a minimum,” he said. “That’s too long. We want something to happen now. So that’s why we’re doing the work to contract, to raise awareness for what’s going on in our schools. There isn’t a teacher out there that wants to do this. They don’t like saying no, but we’re more concerned about long-term well-being than what’s happening now.” In a statement to My Fox Orlando, Volusia County School district said the following: “The school district trusts our teachers will continue to do their best, as they always have for the students of Volusia County. We are looking forward to a successful completion of good faith negotiations with the VTO.”

an sleep in a bed, so I felt like a queen.” Today, she is firmly settled and is working in an office that she finds fulfilling: She’s helping people get out of the same situations he once faced. She said she rarely has any issues with people trying to get away with something. Some residents seem to take the low-rent apartments for granted, but most are working to improve their lives, and she facilities their efforts by stabilizing their shelter. But then another single mother comes into her office and asks for a one-bedroom apartment. “When they come through the door, it moves you,” Kleppinger said. “It hurts when you can’t help them.”
later learned that the sign referred to a hurricane shelter; it wasn’t open except in the event of a natural disaster. After weeks of job hunting and sleeping at a rest stop on Interstate 4, where there were no bathrooms but plenty of mosquitoes, she finally drove to a motel. She told the manager, “I will clean rooms for you. You don’t have to pay me, just give me a room. I don’t want to be homeless again for the rest of my life.” The manager agreed and let her clean rooms for $5 per hour. After her first workday of 16 hours, she finally closed the door behind her.

is getting to those who need it,” he said. He instructed City Manager Joyce Shanahan to get with Reviere and create a list of needed repairs for the City Commission to review as they decide whether to approve the waiver. After the meeting, Rev. Willie Branch, chairman of the housing authority board, said the reason the buildings were in such bad shape is they had been neglected by previous administrations at the OBHA. Reviere took over in 2014, and Branch said it’s a “new day” at the agency. He said it’s important to inspire people to improve themselves and get back on their feet. “You want to break the stigma of poverty and break that mindset in the tenants,” he said.

the short version of the story is that more public housing is needed. She has been told that HUD wants local agencies to raise private funds to build more housing. That would then require demolishing the current apartments, some of which were built in the 1950s, and finding temporary housing for the current tenants while new apartments are built, likely with more than one story. And that’s if she can find private investors. “Congress has been chopping, chopping, chopping,” she said. “You can only do so much with the little that you have.” Among the steps she can take in the meantime is to try to improve the current apartments. For example, she made a plea with the City Commission on March 17 to waive the annual payment to the city for 2013 and 2014 so the agency will have enough money to make repairs on the properties. The $15,000 payment that would be waived is called PILOT, or payment in lieu of taxes. Rather than pay property taxes, OBHA makes an annual payment to the city. She told the officials that the agency is getting a Community Development Block Grant for roof repairs on the facility at Washington Street, along with matching funds from HUD, but they have two other roofs that “are in a bad state.” Other needs cited are playground improvements, flooring, Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades, sidewalks within the properties and outdoor lighting. “We have no sidewalks on our properties. None at all,” she said. In January 1993, the OBHA was six years in arrears on making PILOT payments. At that time, the City Commission waived all outstanding payments due totaling $17,760. In later years, the OBHA often fell behind in payments, but eventually made them, until 2013. Mayor Ed Kelley thanked Reviere for her leadership in “turning around” the housing. “Under your direction, the money

Amendment 1: Bad deal for you Floridians should be alarmed at how much land the state already controls — nearly 60% of Florida’s 53,000 square miles. Buy more? Since when is the state a better steward than you? It’s never enough. And they will not be happy until we are all walking around in caveman loincloths, and every developer has been run out of the state. These are the Amendment 1 fanatics and their news media brethren. They have complained the past two weeks — and are still complaining — that Florida lawmakers essentially are flipping off Florida voters. You recall no doubt that 75% of Floridians who voted in November said “yes” to Amendment 1. The amendment requires 33% of the state’s documentary-stamp tax collections be appropriated “to finance or refinance: the acquisition and improvement of land, water areas and related property interests.” In the current legislative budget talks in Tallahassee, those doc stamps are expected to generate $742 million for the environment — $442 million more than was authorized to be spent each year under the Florida Forever program. But instead of earmarking that money to acquire a long list of “environmentally sensitive” land, a House budget proposals so far is designating 60% of the funds for debt payment and land management, 39% for land acquisition. As they point out, the amendment did say “acquisition and improvement.” (emphasis added). To no surprise, Florida’s daily newspapers were blaring with headlines, news stories, editorials and columnists, all excoriating lawmakers, accusing them of ignoring voters’ wishes. And dutifully, these reports quote the standard protests from the Amendment 1 sponsors and leading environmental spokesmen. It must be springtime, right? Isn’t that what we hear at this time every year — those awful Republicans and developers are choking and raping and pillaging Florida’s environment? Every year, you get the impression from the Tallahassee news reports that lawmakers are on track to remove all barriers to development and turn Florida into a free-for-all to develop all 53,000 square miles of the state into strip malls, high-rise condos, stucco homes and trailer parks. But if truth be told, Floridians should be more alarmed by the opposite — by what the environmentalists have achieved over the past 30 years and how they are intent on not stopping, on using “the state” (i.e. your money) to buy, own and forever forbid development on as much land as possible. Using that warm-and-fuzzy pretext of “preserving Florida for future generations,” along with the alarmist harangue of “climate change” (sorry, Governor, we said it), the state’s activist environmentalists have persuaded taxpayers and federal, state and local lawmakers to use $7 billion of taxpayer money over the past 30 years to buy up 28% of the state’s land mass and remove 30% of the state’s land from future development. Let’s be more explicit: Nearly 60% of Florida’s land mass is under government control. Emotionally, a large majority of Floridians probably would applaud that. They think it’s good when the government owns land for “preservation.” But what Floridians failed to get before they voted for Amendment 1 was an honest picture of what already existed. The supporters of Amendment 1 harped on how lawmakers during the recession did not appropriate or spend up to the $300 million a year they were authorized to under the Florida Forever land-acquisition program. They led Floridians to believe the past decade of Republicancontrolled Legislatures turned against the environment and preservation. If lawmakers won’t spend $300 million a year on land buying, the amendment supporters decided, they would force them to do it with a constitutional

amendment. Unfortunately, in spite of a few of us warning against approving the amendment, it’s safe to say few Floridians knew the facts of just how much the state already controlled (see the box). Nor did they think of consequences. Start with this: When you think of nations that have had the worst environmental management disasters, the former Soviet Union and China top the list — communist countries where the government controlled the land. And think of this: Who is most likely to be a better steward of the environment — an individual who owns his property, or a collective group, many of whom have no hands-on or financial stake in properties they will never see or step foot on? It’s another Tragedy of the Commons. When the Pilgrims came to America, they started out as a collective. Everyone owned everything and each was taken care of according to his needs. For two years, the Pilgrims nearly starved to death. And then Col. William Bradford and the elders made a dramatic shift. They gave every family in the community his own piece of property for his own

Since 2001 to present, the Florida Forever has acquired more than 707,740 acres of land with $2.89 billion and has protected: • 610,270 acres of strategic habitat conservation areas • 575,070 acres of rare species habitat conservation areas, including 962 sites that are habitats for 329 different rare species, 128 of which are federal or state-listed as endangered, 59 federal or state-listed threatened and 18 species of special concern • 696,240 acres of ecological greenways

subsistence. The results? Annual surpluses of food. Moral: Private ownership is far, far better than collective, public ownership. Indeed, when everyone knows the public sector is less competent than the private sector in almost everything, it’s counterlogical to continue spending taxpayer money to buy more and more land. Another bad part to this amendment: As Florida continues to grow in population, doc-stamp revenues will continue to grow. If the state is awash in close to $1 billion a year in land-acquisition funds, as it is this year, there is no upper limit to how much the state can and will spend. With the pressure to buy, the government inevitably will make inefficient, wasteful and poor purchases. This is as true as the sun rising in the east. And Amendment 1 guarantees this for 20 years — $20 billion more for land buying and maintenance. Criticize lawmakers if you will for not budgeting the purchase of more land this year. But we’ll argue they are being good stewards of your dollars and the environment. Take care of what you have before you succumb to the urge to buy more.

Easter egg hunts are for kids? A visit to a local egg hunt shows what Easter should be about: giving and not getting.
EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR
Do you remember what it was like to believe in the Easter Bunny? Being older and so much wiser (stop laughing, Mom), I now realize how creepy the concept of a giant bunny breaking into houses to impress children really is. Also I’ve frequently made unwanted eye contact with the mall Easter Bunnies, and it has not been pleasant. Still, believing in the bunny was one of the things that made Easter feel magical. Until you got older, realized the magic wasn’t real and started being a brat for not getting enough money in your Easter basket. My apologies, parents. Once I grew past my bratty phase (Mom, I said stop laughing), I started to have fun with the younger cousins in my family during Easter through egg hunts, crafts and the occasional failed egg toss. It didn’t hurt that my beautiful soul of a grandma realized early in my childhood that money was the motive.
Our eggs were filled with all the change she had collected throughout the year. The cash egg hunt has made growing out of the tradition very difficult. What can I say? I’ve got bills to pay now. This egg hunt has officially become a part of my income. This year, there are really only two cousins left who are the proper age to participate in an egg hunt. My mom tells me she’s calling it quits. She’s done with our greediness and unappreciation of the holiday. She’s also tired of her adult children fighting with toddlers for quarters.
The Ormond Beach Art Guild’s Spring 2015 Exhibition is being displayed at the Ormond Beach Regional Library. Shown in the window at the library’s entrance, the show will run until April 29.
UNITED WAY WOMEN ANNOUNCE BOARD In a recent meeting, the United Way’s Women’s Initiative Volusia installed four Ormond Beach residents to its new board of directors for 2015. Jessica Fox-Sznapstajler, Jessica Blumenfeld, Michelle Drake and Shelley Lee are among the eight new members that will be responsible for overseeing the annual Power of the Purse Luncheon, distributing grants through the grant review process, and promoting the Chicks for Kicks shoe drive. The Women’s Initiative Volusia will be led by President Sabria Tabaku of A Blinds Company. “The Women’s Initiative is a great way to give back to the community,” Tabaku said in a press release. “My goal this year is to provide more opportunities for women to become involved with our organization and for us to serve more families.” The board also consists of Elinor Yacobov, Shelley Lee and Lindsey Preston. “The Women’s Initiative Volusia is continuing valuable traditions while starting new adventures this year,” President of United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties Ray Salazar said in a press release. “I am excited for the new board’s vision and goals.” Visit unitedwayvfc.org/women.

ART GUILD HOSTS EXHIBIT AT LIBRARY
I had the privilege of attending a real egg hunt this past weekend (see Page 17 for the story), and I got a glimpse at what my childhood could have been like. I saw a little boy slowly pick up an egg, and place it in a girl’s basket. His mother cooed at his thoughtfulness. “Isn’t that what Easter is about?” she beamed. I felt a quick twinge of guilt thinking about my mother, who maybe never had that experience with her moneyhungry daughter during this holiday. This year, maybe I can focus on child-inspired generosity instead of figuring out how to beat my 11-year-old cousin in an egg hunt.

April 7 Special Election: House 24 PAUL RENNER
give voters to support our candidacy is: leadership.
Age: 48 City of residence: Palm Coast Years lived in this community: Raised, work, and live in Northeast Florida (35plus years). Hobbies/ interests: Traveling, reading, exercise and time with family, including our dog, Mia. Family: Married
Q: What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? If elected, what would you do to address the challenges? A: 1) Promoting economic growth; 2) expanding opportunity; and, 3) improving our quality of life. To promote growth, I will ensure that taxes remain low, apply fiscally conservative budgeting priorities, and hold government spending in check, just as businesses and individuals do. We can expand opportunity through top-quality education. I support school choice, so that parents and students can choose the education best suited to each child’s needs. We should allow for customized education, which may include tutors or online learning to supplement classroom instruction. Our flagship programs are another great example. We should provide greater flexibility in the classroom and empower parents outside the classroom, so that each child stays at or above grade level in all subjects. Finally, Flagler County provides a great quality of life. As we grow, we need to maintain what drew us here. This includes strong public safety, good roads, clean beaches and smart resource management of our water sources, parks, and recreational facilities.
Paul Renner, Republican
Q: Please explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position. A: The greatest privilege in my life has been serving our country in the military. During more than 20 years on active duty and in the reserves, I served in multiple leadership roles, including forward deployments to combat zones in two wars, Operation Desert Storm (1991) and Afghanistan (2011). After active duty, I attended law school and continued public service as a criminal prosecutor. Today, I am a business attorney and partner in a law firm. With demonstrated leadership under pressure in the military and broad experience as a prosecutor, partner in a small business, and business attorney, I will be an effective advocate for our community in the state Legislature. Q: What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent cannot or will not? A: Our campaign is focused on the positive reasons to support our candidacy. However, as described above, I have a lifetime of public service and a record of results. The one-word I would
surfs here and truly lives here. I have a love for the outdoors and willingness to fight for the goodpaying, meaningful jobs that our community needs to move forward. Adam Morley, Democrat
Q: Please explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position. A: As part of the next great civic generation, my personal and professional life are congruent with each other, and that has allowed me to effortlessly work toward common goals in the community. Having been a small-business owner in this district, the president of a citizen support organization, a captain and naturalist, and a life-long member of this community, I don’t just know my community’s core values, I embody them. And that is what this position calls for: someone to represent the community’s core values and not just tote party lines.
Q: What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? If elected, what would you do to address the challenges? A: The lack of meaningful employment opportunities; I would work to remove regulation on solar and other tech based industries so that they would be able to expand and put people to work in meaningful ways. Inadequate representation and interest in the people of our community at the state level; I will be accessible and will work with those in the community working to make a positive difference here at home. The distrust and perception that government is corrupt; I will be transparent, explain my decisions at length, and represent the spirit of government we all wish to see.
ADAM MORLEY Age: 30 City of residence: St. Augustine Years lived in this community: Born and raised in southern St. Johns/Flagler counties Hobbies/ interests: Solar/renewable energy, technology, boating, fishing, surfing, dancing (ballroom, Latin, and swing), tiny home movement, local business, the outdoors, and social media Family: Wife Janine, and our first child is due July 25.
Q: What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent cannot or will not? A: As a Millennial, heart, youth, passion, and enthusiasm for our community and making it a better place is what clearly sets me apart from my opponent. I am the only candidate that was born and raised in this district, that started a small business here, that dances here, fishes here,

April 7 Special Election: Senate 6
David Cox, Democrat
At a Flagler Votes forum Feb. 26, Democratic Senate District 6 candidate David Cox emphasized his background as an educator and commitment to public education. “I’m an educator; I’m not a politician,” he said in his opening statement at the forum. “I work down at Bethune-Cookman University. I’ve been at the university for three years. Previous to that I was in the public education system. I’m proud to be a teacher. I think we need more teachers in Tallahassee. I think we need more people to get up there and really fight for our students and fight for our communities.” Cox came out strongly against a bill his opponent had co-sponsored that would allow guns on college campuses — “I think that guns have absolutely no place in schools,” he said, saying that a recent nonfatal shooting at his university the previous night “could have continued to escalate and become the OK Corral ” if more students were armed — and emphasized his support for ensuring that social programs like Medicaid and Social Security remain viable.
When asked by a moderator to list three issues of importance to the community — other than economic development, job growth and education — Cox mentioned social programs and getting federal funds available to the state under the Affordable Care Act, then came back to education. “We need to make sure that our Medicaid and our Social Security are secure here,” he said. “You know, the state of Florida just became number one with the Affordable Healthcare Act. We passed 1.6 million folks. Again, we continue as a state Legislature, and as a state to deny the federal funds coming in here to the state. Those are federal funds that we definitely need here to service this population. The program is in place. It’s here. I understand that my opponent and others are adamantly against the Affordable Healthcare Act, but it’s here, it’s in place, we need to work on funding it. We need those federal funds to come into state. That’s extremely important to s here. Again, going back into education: As an educator working in our classrooms for 10 years now, we need to make sure that we’re supporting our students we need to look at those STEM programs, we need to look at programs that are putting people to work here So these are really our top three. I believe they’re an opportunity for all.”
Travis Hutson, Republican
Republican candidate Travis Hutson, a first-term member of the Florida House of Representatives, emphasized his experience in Tallahassee during a Feb. 26 Flagler Votes forum. “I’ve been your House representative for District 24 for the last two years going into the third year,” he said in his opening statement. “I think it’s important to mention some of the things that I was able to get done. I filed 15 pieces of legislation in two years: 12 of them passed the House floor, eight of them became law. And when you look at every other freshman going back 10, 15 years in the history of every other freshman, it’s only been two of us that have ever done that. And I think that’s very important and I think we’ve passed some good things for Flagler specifically, but the most important thing I like to hang my hat on is the piece of legislation we did to keep sexually violent predators off the streets, make sure we maintain them, monitor them and keep them away from our kids. …With my knowledge and experience in Tallahassee, I look forward to maybe going over to the other side of the aisle and bringing more good leg-
islation back and hopefully some good appropriations items.” Hutson emphasized his support for a bill he’d co-sponsored that would let people with concealed carry permits carry guns on college campuses. “We’re talking about gun-free campuses right now ... and individuals are coming in creating these crimes,” he said. “When you have a concealed weapon, and you have a concealed carry, you can actually protect yourself.” When asked by a moderator to list three issues of importance to the community — other than economic development, job growth, and education — Hutson mentioned beach restoration, water issues and transportation. “We’ve got drainage issues in Flagler County,” he said. “I put that, actually, at No. 2 under beach restoration. Beach restoration is very important. (In) Flagler Beach ... we’ve got a road about to fall in. We’re about to lose everything there, so we’ve got to come up with some ideas, both locally, state and federal on how we can solve that issue. And if I had to say a third: transportation. As Flagler’s grown and grown and grown, we’re now starting to see some of the transportation dollars that we need coming back to this area. We’ve got an interchange we’re putting in. You know, on Palm Coast Parkway recently you see some of that construction that the state’s doing.”

MAILBOX THEFTS STILL OCCURRING 4 p.m. — 100 Block of North Nova Road. Counterfeit check: A suspect was detained by police at a bank after attempting to cash a suspicious check. A bank employee showed the police officer the check, and the officer could clearly see the handwriting, ink color and boldness were inconsistent in multiple areas. In a post-Miranda interview, the suspect said he was paid the money for detailing vehicles. Later, he admitted it was stolen. He said a partner steals checks from mailboxes, and they alter the checks. He said it was his partner’s idea, but he did not want to give his name. The suspect said there were more checks in his car. They were from cities throughout Florida and Kentucky, including Palm Coast, Ormond Beach and Holly Hill. He was arrested in relation to cases in the various cities.
medic in Iraq,” said Janie Rocke, a member of American Legion Auxiliary Post 120, in Holly Hill. “I was thrilled when I saw the flier.” Jim Arthur, owner of Body Exchange, Ormond Beach, a former Marine, had offered free training to the National Guard troops to get them in “battle shape,” and some took advantage of the offer. Don Ashworth, of Daytona Beach, had a patch on the back of his jacket that said, “Vets don’t forget.” He said veterans don’t forget what they went through and don’t forget each other. “I love that we stick together no matter what,” he said.
MARCH 23
MYSTERIOUS CAR SCRATCHER 1:19 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Vandalism: The victim said someone damaged her vehicle in a store parking lot. She said she went to the store about 12:45 p.m. and was in the store about 30 minutes. When she returned to the car, she noticed a large scratch down the entire passenger side. She then noticed a scratch down the full length of the driver’s side. She only had one suspect in mind, her boyfriend’s ex-wife. She said she drives a black BMW. Security at the store was able to retrieve video of the area. Shortly after the victim entered the store, the video shows a black BMW park near the victim’s car. The occupant, a woman, walks across the parking aisle and then alongside the victim’s car. She then walks toward the store. A short time later, she exits the store and walks into the lot. Again, she walks alongside the victim’s car.
The victim watched the video and said the woman was not her boyfriend’s ex-wife, and the BMW did not look like her car. GPS COMES IN HANDY IN THEFT FOR VICTIM 10:15 a.m. — 1500 Block of San Marco Drive. Stolen Vehicle: The victim said her 2005 Buick Lacrosse was stolen from a convenience store in Daytona Beach. She was able to locate the vehicle using a GPS tracking device, which showed it at an apartment complex. The officer confirmed the identity of the car by the license plate, model and color. Daytona Beach police were contacted, but they said they did not require any further investigation. The victim responded to the location with a spare key. The officer searched the vehicle to make sure there were no illegal items or anything that did not belong to the victim, removed it from “stolen” status and turned it over to the victim.

OrmondBeachObserver.com
Many people may think the war in Afghanistan is winding down. But a group who gathered in the early morning darkness at the Granada Bridge on March 29 know differently. As the sun rose on a cool morning, they had a prayer, said the Pledge of Allegiance and then walked over the bridge in a “vigil walk” to remember the 200 local National Guard troops who were recently deployed for one year of combat operations in the wartorn country. The plan is for the walk to continue each morning until the troops return, about one year. Those who wish to take part can meet at 7:15 a.m. at Cassen Park, located at the southwest corner of the bridge, across from City Hall. A video journal of the walks will be posted on the website ormondstrong.com and Run Keeper phone app, so the soldiers can see they are being remembered by supporters back in the states. National Guard troops from the 1st Battalion, 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment deployed from Daytona Beach on March 16. After training, they will spend six

months in Afghanistan. Denise Wisely, born and raised in Ormond Beach, said it’s important for the community to be aware that troops are still fighting in Afghanistan. Julian Cantillo agreed, saying the key is to acknowledge their service. “These people are leaving their home for a year to serve their country,” he said. “Because of their service, we can be free.” Several walkers commented that they wanted to honor the troops, because those who served in Vietnam did not get the same support ant recognition. Peggy Turner, of Ormond Beach, said she believes in everything the troops are doing. “I have to think of them every day,” she said. “They are on our prayer list at church.” The group gathered at Granada Pier Bait and Tackle, and owner Ike Leary said he was “all for” the walk. “I’m against war, but sometimes you do what you have to do,” he said. Many of those at the walk did not have relatives in the deployed National Guard unit, but had other connections to the military. “My son served as a combat

hen the Tomoka Marathon, half marathon and 5K runs ended, the 1,400-plus runners stayed well after the event to party, get massages and take pictures to capture their exciting moments Saturday, March 28, in Ormond Beach. Runners from all over the country participated in Tomoka’s second-annual marathon, a Boston Marathon qualifier, which took place on one of Florida’s historic nature courses that included Tomoka State Park. The route, known as The Tomoka Loop, returned along the Intracoastal Waterway, and concluded at The Casements. The post-race party was held at Rockefeller Gardens located beside The Casements on the Halifax River. “We were very pleased with the turnout of this year’s event, and

we look forward to next year’s runs being even bigger,” said Tangela Boyd, public relations specialist for Halifax Health. Along the courses, runners’ families and friends, including their dogs, cheered the participants and other runners on, while shivering in the 54-degree weather in the early morning along the river. Of the 1,400 who were identified with microchip bib plates, 318 marathon, 669 half marathon and 225 5K finished. Halifax Health and the Volusia Flagler YMCA have partnered together to present the Live Your Life Well Race Series, which includes 22 events in 2015. “The goal of the race series is to challenge Volusia residents to take 124 million steps to better health in 2015,” Boyd added. “We are actually adding the number of runners and average steps it takes to complete a race to see if we meet this goal at the end of the year.”
ORMOND’S TOP FINISHERS
Of the 318 marathon finishers, Ormond Beach resident James Morgan led the city’s runners with a 33rd-place finish (second in his age division) with 3 hours, 28 minutes, 50 seconds; and Troy Railsback placed 81st (11th) with 3:49:58.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER The Green Wave continued to roll in, by far, its best tennis season with a sweep of all seven finals in the District 6-1A Championship Tuesday, March 31. Father Lopez only dropped two of 30 total sets the entire tournament. Top singles player Will Greaves won his final 6-1, 6-2. No. 2 player Dane Hawthorne won 6-4, 6-4, and No. 3 Michael Munier defeated his opponent 6-1, 6-0. No. 4 Zach Pifer won 7-5, 6-1, and No Connor Sikorski 1-6, 6-0, 6-1 for the singles complete sweep. In doubles competition, Will Greaves/Dane Hawthorne defeated Master’s Academy 6-2, 6-4, and Michael Munier/Zach Pifer won 6-7, 6-2, 7-6. “The boys all fought hard and supported each other through every match to win the title,” coach Jane Fountain said. “Their goal was to win every line in the tournament and they did it in fine style. They have come together as a team and are looking forward to the first round of regionals next week.” Greaves will represent the Green Wave at the individual state tournament as the singles player, and Greaves and Hawthorne will represent Father Lopez at the individual state tournament in doubles competition. After losing to Windermere Prep last year, Lopez has been on a mission for a rematch with the Lakers in the regional tournament. They have remained focused throughout the entire season, destroying everyone on their path. After opening the season with a 4-3 win over Trinity Prep, the Green Wave only dropped three of 77 potential matches afterward. They won eight matches 7-0 and the other three 6-1. Next up: April 7. Good luck!

Green Wave rallies for Brown’s first win After six straight losses, Father Lopez picked up a win over Mainland to get things on track. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER
Although it took four tries, interim head coach Antwan Brown, now knows what it feels like to win a varsity baseball game. His Green Wave came from behind to beat the Mainland Bucs 6-4 Monday, March 30, at Mainland. “It feels pretty good to finally get over the hump,” Brown said. “The most important thing was to see the guys come together and keep fighting. Having all the naysayers and people who wanted us to fail around, the kids coming together felt more like a win to me.” Down by two heading into the sixth inning, Lopez scored on a throwing error and a Charlie Gray single to tie the game at 4-4, with one inning remaining. At the top of the seventh, Blake Young nailed a single with two outs that sent Si Grinstead and Troy Naab home, which eventually won the game for the Green Wave. “Our guys really started to buy in and trust what I’ve been telling them, and it showed today,” Brown added. “We never got down today, and that’s a new step for us. In the past, when we made a few errors, we would shut down, but we never got down and stayed on track.” Young led Lopez’s hitting,
going 2-for-2 with two hits, two runs and two RBIs. Si Grinstead scored a run and batted another in, and Charlie Gray went 2-3 with an RBI. James Durant got the win for Father Lopez Green Wave, allowing four runs over six innings but striking out seven while only walking one. Logan Lecras got the save.

The inaugural egg hunt was held at Nova Community Park on March 28. ittle Elena Nugent grabbed the black chain-link fence with both hands as she peered out into the baseball field where 20,000 eggs were almost ready to be hunted. Jane Nugent held the 2-year-old, and attempted to make conversation about the upcoming search, but Elena’s focus could not be broken. When Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rick Fraser finally gave the “go” to start the egg hunt, the Nugent duo disappeared into the crowd. Nearly 200 kids and their families attended the inaugural egg hunt, hosted by the chamber and Anchor Group. The kids ran, walked and crawled their way to find eggs that contained candy, small toys and the coveted golden ticket that could be used to buy prizes. Alyssa Hodgson, assistant with Anchor Group, said they wanted to recreate the large event that used to be held at The Casements. “We just wanted to do something for the community,” she said.

Ormond Beach bands together for autism Team Joseph and Grind Gastropub are partnering up for the 8th-annual United Nations World Autism Awareness Day. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR
Today, autism is the fastestgrowing developmental disorder in the United States, affecting one in 68 children. According to the nonprofit Autism Speaks, the disorder costs the family $60,000 a year on average. But those statistics alone are not what’s driving community members of Ormond Beach to raise awareness. Team Joseph and Grind Gastropub are coming together for the 8th-annual United Nations World Autism Awareness Day, a global autism awareness campaign, also called “Light It Up Blue,” that encourages participants to dress in blue for support. Both Autism Speaks Volusia County Community Chairperson Kathleen Davis and Grind Gastropub General Manager Matt Morris have local ties to this global event. Davis, an Ormond Beach resi-

dent, is raising twin boys, one who is on the autism spectrum. “I think the biggest misconception about Autism is the fact that people with autism are all the same and have all the same the same traits,” Davis said in an email. “When actually they are so very different in their abilities, and their disabilities and therefore their needs are also very varied.” Morris’ 10-year-old niece, Rachel, is autistic. “She still has issues with potty training and things like that,” Morris said. “She’s 10, but she’s closer to 3. I think autism is growing in knowledge, and the awareness is becoming greater because more kids are affected.” During the event, held all day April 2, people can use a voucher to have 10% of their bill donated to Autism Speaks and Team Joseph, which represents Davis’ autistic son, Joseph, to raise funds and awareness for the upcoming annual Walk Now for Autism Speaks. Kathleen Davis will be at the event to hand out flyers regarding Autism Speaks and have a sign-up sheet for people to volunteer for future events or to just be informed. Flyers are also available through emailing Davis at teamjoseph3@ gmail.com or at any Southern Title Holding Co. location. Email emily@ormondbeachobserver.com.

They have recently decided it would be more efficient to have a group meeting in the board room at the Chamber of Commerce, 165 W. Granada Blvd. Starting April 13, they will meet in a new format called “Coffee with the Mayor.” “We found that we could visit just so many businesses in an afternoon, and it was hard to arrange with our schedules,” Fraser said. They will meet at 8 a.m. on the second Monday of each month. Fraser said Einstein Bros. Bagels, 110 S. Nova Road, has offered to supply bagels and coffee, and food will be provided by Edible Arrangements, 128 N. Nova Road. Kelley said talking to the business executives gives him a good barometer on the local business community, and group discussions may spur new ideas.
