line in the sand has been drawn in the local beach debate. Some people say voters should make all beachdriving decisions, while others say car-free areas are critical for economic development. Some say cars and crowds on the beach are a dangerous mix, while others say walking across State Road A1A is treacherous. The matter will come to Ormond Beach on April 21 when the City Commission discusses whether to send a letter to the County Council in support of requiring voter approval before cars are removed from the any section of the beach. At the April 7 commission meeting, Donna Craig, of Ormond Beach, a member of Let Volusia Vote, asked the officials to send the letter. “We need to retain the identification we have that is so special,” she said. “Perhaps you’ll do what Deltona and Port Orange did and tell the county to let Volusia vote.” After the meeting, Mayor Ed Kelley asked City Manager Joyce Shanahan to place a discussion item on the next agenda. Craig said in a later interview that the effort started last summer when the Hard Rock Hotel indicated it wanted a no-driving section on the beach in front of their planned property. “We said, ‘Enough is enough,’” she said. The group has been collecting signatures to get a referendum on the 2016 ballot. If passed and held up in court, it would require voter approval before any restriction is made to beach driving. “Let the people decide,” Craig said. She believes if beach driving is

taken away, it would be almost impossible to get it back. “We don’t want it to go away. It’s one of the reason we live here,” she said. County Attorney Daniel Eckert and others have said the petition and any vote by citizens on beach matters would be unconstitutional and the county would retain control of the beach. Craig said people she has talked to believe it’s legal. County staff is crafting an ordinance to ban driving on the beach at the Desert Inn, which developers hope to convert to a five-star Westin Inn, and at the proposed

Hard Rock Hotel location. A vote by the County Council is expected in May. RESIDENTS FEAR MISSING OUT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH

Another group of local citizens formed Coastal Community Beach Association last year, which favors working with developers to allow no-driving zones if they provide adequate off-beach parking. Peggy Farmer, of Ormond Beach, said the group presented recommendations for the County Council to consider when

approving the ordinance. “We want to be balanced and have economic development and beach access,” she said. Farmer believes it’s important to take advantage of the opportunities for economic development, much needed in the core Daytona Beach area. “We haven’t had a new hotel in 20 years,” Farmer said. “Other areas are having prosperity. We’re going to miss out and won’t be

When a person is diagnosed with cancer, they are like a boxer in the ring. They go back to their corner, and get ready to fight. That’s one of the things that cancer survivor Mia Bryant will be telling people on April 18, as speaker at the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. She said cancer patients must have people in their corner, giving them a strong support system, and that’s why the Relay of Life is important. “They let people know they

are not alone.” Bryant said a diagnosis of cancer does not mean it’s “the end,” and she should know. When she was 14 years old, she was in the final stages of Hodgkin’s disease, and now at the age of 42, she has been cancer-free for 24 years. She was misdiagnosed for two years before the cancer was discovered, because of a mistake in the lab, and that’s why the cancer was able to grow until it was fully metastasized in her body. She said she was told she would not make it. “There must have been another plan in place,” she said. “I’m still here.” She had radiation that was much more intense than given today, chemotherapy and 50 operations. She had tumors removed and her knees replaced because they had been damaged by the radiation. Originally from South Carolina, Bryant now lives in Palm Coast, and spends her time helping cancer patients with her nonprofit company, Embraced

in Arms of Hope. Bryant said the work being done by the American Cancer Society continues to improve cancer treatments, so people suffer fewer ill effects from the radiation and chemotherapy that she endured as a teenager. Also, the survival rate continues to climb. This year’s Relay for Life will be noon to midnight on April 18 at Calvary Christian Church, 1687 W. Granada Blvd. So far, 32 teams have raised almost $17,000. Kendra Bright, one of the organizers, said their goal is $30,000 and they plan to continue collecting money until mid-July. The Relay will begin with a survivors’ lap and then a caregivers’ lap. The survivors and caregivers will enjoy a meal, and the teams will begin their relay walk which will last until midnight. Bright encourages people to come out, saying there will be food, games and entertainment. People can also purchase a luminary candle that will be placed by the track to honor a victim of cancer.

able to improve the blight.” Property tax revenue from new hotels will fund improvements, the group contends. Farmer said developers won’t invest in an area with a lot of uncertainty. Farmer’s group recommends that developers provide parking to make up for any spaces lost on the beach. If the lot is on the west side of State Road A1A, it must be near an intersection with a traffic signal, have an overhead walkover or utilize “rapidly reflecting beam technologies” at the pedestrian crosswalk. They also recommend dropoff points, so people can unload their car on the east side of A1A and then go park. Craig said she didn’t think beach driving would affect development. She pointed out that the Hard Rock Hotel had planned to build in Daytona Beach, knowing there was driving on the beach. She said they only changed their mind when the Westin developers asked for no driving. Both Farmer and Craig put safety high on their priority list. Farmer points to recent accidents where children have been hit by cars on the beach. Craig said parents should watch their kids on the beach and crossing State Road A1A is dangerous. Farmer points out that offbeach parking is available every day, while the beach is only available when Mother Nature allows. Craig also favors more offbeach parking, because it means less traffic on the beach and “relieves some of the issues that some people have about it.”

The County Council is set to vote at their April 16 meeting whether to buy more land for off-beach parking in Ormond Beach. The lot, which contains The Other Place, a former nightclub, is at the corner of Cardinal Drive and State Road A1A. The cost would be $1.8 million, with half coming from ECHO and half coming from the general fund.

YMCA fundraising effort underway

Ormond Beach

“It will have a ‘wow’ factor.”

WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

CHARLES LYDECKER, retail president of Brown and Brown, on planned YMCA renovations

CENTRAL PARK

Central Park consists of approximately 150 acres, 5 interconnected lakes providing access from lake to lake by canoeists, and over 5 miles of trails winding through diverse natural habitats. Central Park also has exercise equipment, boardwalks, observation decks, viewing areas, playgrounds, basketball and tennis facilities, picnic pavilions, a labyrinth, and restrooms.

The Central Park picnic pavilions are available for rental for your next gathering. Please contact the Leisure Services Office for more information at

386-676-3250.

The parks are open from sunrise to sunset. Central Park I is located at 601 Fleming Avenue Central Park II is located at 601 Hammock Lane Central Park III is located at 602 Hammock Lane Central Park IV is located at 601 Division Avenue

Lydecker said the Ormond YMCA needs to be more relevant. He pointed out that Daytona Beach no longer has a Y, and he wants to prevent that from happening in Ormond Beach. He said he travels to about 50 cities a year, and seeing other YMCA facilities has made him realize how badly the Ormond Beach location needs upgrading. “Ormond Beach deserves the best,” he said. “It has a vibrant membership base, and we want it to be part of the fabric of the community.” Lydecker and his wife Chris donated $500,000 for the current pool renovations. One of the new features in the building will be a large community space, so people can socialize; more cardio workout facilities; and a kids zone. They also plan to light up and beautify the entrance road, as well as expand the parking lots and add another entrance from Sterthaus Drive.

“What’s given in Ormond Beach, stays in Ormond Beach.” TERESA RAND, YMCA CEO

Around a new dog park, they hope to have a “human-doggie fitness trail.” “The whole place will be lit up,” Lydecker said. “It will have a ‘wow’ factor. It will be a feel-good place.” When the pool opens in June, it will have 20 lanes of 25 meters in one direction, or 10 lanes of 50 meters in the long direction. The old pool only had eight lap lanes and was L-shaped. The deck will also be expanded. “The pool deck was not large enough for parents while their children were swimming,” Rand said. The pool will get more improvements in the hoped-for next phase, including a splash pad for kids, and a staffed entrance with lockers so people can go directly from the parking lot to the pool area. Rand said they will have community days when nonmembers will be able to use the pool for a fee. Rand said with the improvements, she expects about 50% growth in membership. Without the improvements, she said the future of the Y would be uncertain.

DONOR SAYS NEW YMCA WILL BE A ‘FEEL-GOOD’ PLACE

167393

THURS.

The enlarged swimming pool at the YMCA is expected to open by mid-June, and now donors and YMCA officials are hoping to raise enough money to also renovate the building and grounds, plus add recreational opportunities and a dog park. “It’s like when you clean a room in your house,” said CEO and President Teresa Rand. “You have to clean all the other rooms.” The pool and building were constructed in 1989, and some interior remodeling was done about 10 years ago. She said a renovation is long overdue. YMCA members will get a chance to learn about the new plans at a forum on April 28. Invitations will be sent out. The existing YMCA was built with $2.2 million of corporate and individual donations collected in a two-year fundraising campaign, according to archived newspaper articles. Leading the charge to raise money for the planned renovation is Charles Lydecker, retail division president of Brown and Brown Insurance Inc. He and Rand are currently having informational meetings with various groups about their plans. Their goal is to raise $5 million, which includes money that was raised for the current pool renovation, and they have raised half of that amount, Rand said. Work would begin next year. Rand said many people don’t

realize that the Y is a nonprofit, 501c3 corporation. “We have a product to sell, memberships, but we put it back into the community,” she said. She mentioned school-reading programs and Project 396, the Y’s youth development program. The Y also provides scholarships for income-eligible residents. “What’s given in Ormond Beach, stays in Ormond Beach,” she said.

SHANAHAN GETS REVIEWED

City Manager Joyce Shanahan received another glowing annual review from the City Commission, receiving a 4.85 score out of a possible 5. A rating of four means “exceeds expectations” while five translates to “outstanding.” In the coming year, Shanahan said in a memo, she will continue to focus on identifying grant opportunities. She provided the commission with a multiple-page list of accomplishments in 2014 and goals for 2015, which can be found in the agenda packet for the April 7 City Commission meeting, available on ormondbeach.org. The evaluation is item 9A on the agenda. “She keeps us informed about everything,” said Mayor Ed Kelley.

CITY LOOKS AT CODES

The Quality of Life Advisory Board is currently considering recommending changes to the city Code of Ordinances, related to property maintenance. The City Commission would make any final decisions. At the April 1 Board meeting, City Manager Joyce Shanahan gave a presentation on the current codes. “There are some things we can regulate and some things we can’t,” she told the board. “We want guidance from you.” Examples of current regulations include grass height, signage and inoperable vehicles. Examples of areas not under city control include shrubbery, boarded windows and peeling paint. She told the board that she would bring examples of codes from other cities to a future meeting, and she expects the discussion to take a couple of months.

ORMOND BEACH OBSERVER

Branching out, in Ormond Beach the three oaks in his front yard were so robust that they had survived a hurricane that damaged one of the neighboring homes. I thanked the man and took some pictures before I left for my meeting. In the age of Walmart and McDonald’s, when seemingly everything you can buy is mass-produced, these trees are pure originals. I felt like I was in the presence of a great work of sculpture, but it was not the work of a mere mortal — it was shaped for decades, miraculously, by the sun and the rain.

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

I just had to turn around. As a newcomer to Ormond Beach, I had never driven down Neptune Avenue, and when I first saw the twisted trunks that seemed to fill the front yards, my inner tree geek blossomed. My wife makes fun of me for getting distracted by trees while I drive, but I love the controlled chaos of the branches, as well as the brilliant shades of green leaves in the sun. And so, although I was already nervous about getting lost on my way to a meeting, I turned around. I parked and knocked on the front door. The homeowner didn’t want to be named, although he said I was the easiest door-to-door salesman he’s ever had to deal with (I guess that’ll have to do for a compliment). The man said the house was built in the 1950s, and that

A SPEECH TO REMEMBER

Later that morning, on April 9, I arrived at the Oceanside Country Club to hear Matt Walsh, the CEO of the Ormond Beach Observer’s parent company, Observer Media Group, speak to the Tiger Bay Club. Later that night, he also spoke to the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties. I’m not bragging when I say Walsh did a masterful job. He wove several strands of history and politics together to argue that our country is not taking the threat of radical Islam seriously enough; in fact, he said, we are making all the same

Why don’t people respect the anthem? Dear Editor: Thank you for bringing to attention (no pun) the protocol or lack thereof for our national anthem in the April 9 edition of the Observer. The lack of respect that is shown today by people of all ages when this tribute is played is discouraging and disrespectful. Nothing lights me up more than when I see people talking, walking, drinking, not removing covers and doing everything else during this, as you put it, two minutes and 30 seconds. Is it ignorance to the meaning and tradition of this event? Is it plain laziness or willful contempt for the generations past, present and future who wear the uniform of the United States? I just don’t understand. I instructed both my chil-

dren about common courtesies, standing at attention when the anthem is played, removing your cover when entering a building and so forth. My son is an active duty U.S. Marines; he now practices and instructs these values on a daily basis. Thank you for your service and may God watch over you and your family. FYI, to the author, Jeff Dawsey, as a former service member, you are authorized to salute during the playing of the national anthem, and I encourage you to do so as an example to others. MARK J.

to roam. If I was the bear that was in your garbage pail, I also might want more land. If we had so much land for conservation, we would not really be reading about dead animals. What I do hear from this article is that the money for conservation is “too much” and the Legislature would like less to be put in this account. They are using the funds for the “improvement” part of the bill. This is not unusual for the politicians to do this. Any way they can think of using these funds for the “improvement” they will do it, so that they do not have to fund the Department of Environmental Protection and all that is associated with it. Before this Amendement 1, the state of Florida budgeted for items.

lican wrote, I have serious concerns from reading about other problems that deal with the amount of land that will not be built upon. The map is very deceiving, since it appears that the bottom of the state is all conservation, and that is not really true. A true map showing the lands and whom they belong to would make a real different assessment of the “map.” There are a lot of governments and public utilities who own land for our use. The lands that this article is stating includes ball fields, schools, parks and water shed properties, too. I’m not sure if they included all the roads we drive on, but it might be since the local, state or federal government owns that land and the easement into your properties. Now if I was the panther that was hit by a car in lower Florida, I would like more land

PURSE LEFT ALONE COULD BE PURSE THAT IS GONE 2:37 p.m. — 1500 Block of North U.S. 1. Burglary of Conveyance: The victim took her debit card out of her purse to buy gas at a pump, and put the purse into her pickup truck. After pumping the gas, she walked to the store, where her daughters were waiting, and left the truck unlocked. When she returned to the truck, her purse was gone. She called police and started calling her credit card companies. The store clerk told the police officer that the cameras had been down for a while. Fingerprints were lifted, but

The surveillance video showed a halfdozen juveniles using the skate park after hours from about 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. One subject is seen using a bicycle in the park, and another is seen throwing a skateboard over the fence and then climbing over. The video did not show the fence being cut, and some of the suspects remained outside the fence. The officer requested extra patrols for the area. Damage to the fence was estimated at $500.

they showed the suspect was wearing gloves. The victim’s daughter was on the phone and reported that the credit card company said someone just tried to use one of her cards at an ATM on the 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard, but the transaction was declined. The officer planned to check for a security camera at the ATM location. SKATEBOARDERS BECOME NIGHTRIDERS 8:40 a.m. — 400 Block of North Nova Road. Vandalism: A police officer noticed a significant cut in the fencing at a skate park large enough for a person or bicycle to pass through.

CHECK THOSE $100 BILLS 9:09 p.m. — 1500 Block of San Marco Drive. Fraud: The victim said he posted his Xbox for sale on a local Facebook swap page. The suspect contacted him through Facebook, asking how much he wanted. The victim replied that he wanted $200. The suspect then sent a message saying she would come to the victim’s apartment that night. A car arrived with the suspect and two males. One of the males walked up to the patio and asked the victim if he would take $175. The victim

said he would only take $200, and the suspect gave him two $100 bills. The victim handed over the Xbox. After the victim went inside, he noticed the bills were obvious counterfeits. The victim tried to reach the suspect through Facebook, but she had blocked him. The victim showed the officer the suspect’s profile picture on Facebook. It showed that the suspect had a tattoo on the left side of her neck. Through a computer search, the officer was able to locate a driver’s license photo that matched the suspect. He also found that the suspect had been a suspect in an identity theft and fraudulent transactions. The victim had the serial number of the console and said he wanted to press charges.

WHERE DID THAT LEAFY GREEN STUFF COME FROM? 8:15 p.m. — 700 Block of South Nova Road Possession of Marijuana: The officer conducted a traffic stop for in inoperable headlight. As he approached the car, the suspect got out. The officer explained why he was stopped, and asked the suspect to turn on the headlights so he could show him which one was not working. When the suspect leaned into the vehicle, the report states he “fumbled around” with his pants. The officer then observed a bag of green leafy substance under the car by the driver’s door, and the suspect admitted to dropping it. The substance tested positive for cannabis and the suspect was arrested for possession of marijuana.

The Buccaneers’ speed runs down a district championship, the first since the 1980s. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

s the announcer began calling out fourth, third and runner-up in the District 3A-1 meet, the name of Mainland High School was not heard. For the first time since the late 1980s, the Buccaneers were called last as the champions. “We were keeping a close watch on the scores after the 10th event, and when we were up, we knew we had a chance to win it,” coach Terry Anthony said. No individual has meant more for the Bucs’ success than sophomore Adrian Killins. While already locked as one of the fastest in the state in individual events, Killins also lends his speed to the 100- and 200-meter dashes and the 4x100 relay, all of which he’s usually swept this season or helped his team win. “It’s a great feeling where we’re at, but it’s just the beginning,” he said. “I’m looking forward to being regional champs this coming Wednesday.” When told how long Mainland has gone without a district championship, he added, “That’s a great accomplishment. I had no idea that it’s been that long. We have been working hard all season, and it’s truly paying off as a team.” One of the athletes Anthony mentioned was Meiko Dotson. “Meiko always says that he’s

probably the slowest sprinter on the team,” Anthony said. “But now, he’s getting ready to compete at regionals in the 200-meter dash. He’s just one example of how these guys have been working.” As long as the Bucs continue to run and jump the way they have been doing all year, they will have no problems getting a lot of state qualifiers. Regional qualifiers include Killins and Wilfred Taylor, who finished first and second in the 100-meter dash; Killins and Dotson, who took first and third in the 300-meter dash; Latavies Sylvester, third in the 400-meter dash; Demarcus Adams, second and third in the 110-meter hurdles and long jump; Alex Mack and Johnny Barkley, first and third

LANE in the 300-meter hurdles; 4x100 relay team, first; and 4x400 and 800 teams, third; Bryan Gregory, fourth in the long jump; Warnell Bryant, third in the triple jump; and Kevin McCrary, second in the shot put. Everyone on the team plays football, and some of them, according to Anthony, said the track win was more important than the football district win, because they haven’t won one in a very long time. Mainland’s regional meet will be held April 22, at Harmony High School in St. Cloud.

TWO LADY BUCCANEERS QUALIFY FOR REGIONALS While the boys will be heavily represented at the regional track meet, two girls also will look to make a push to the state finals. Sophomore Kayla Littlefield won the 300-meter hurdles title, and Breona Butts qualified for regionals in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, finishing third and second.

Alex Mack won the 300-meter hurdles district championship. Bob Rollins

did. They didn’t know that they’d only drop seven out of 103 total matches through the regional championship, where they demolished former champs Windermere Prep. They swept the district title, winning all seven matches, and they pulled off one of Father Lopez’s most successful tennis seasons in its program’s history. By the end, the team believed it could win. Unfortunately, at the state level, all but one player lost in the first, second or semifinals round, including both doubles teams, and that ended the season short of a state title. Although the Green Wave will be losing some of their top players, such as Mike Munier and Zach Pifer, along with Tyler Turnbull, Kevin Fountain and Jacob Attia to graduation, coach Jane Fountain believes the best from her bunch is yet to come. “Our guys are tournament players, so they’re only going to get better,” Fountain said. “These guys play year-round, so I expect this team be stronger next season.” Top players Will Greaves and Dane Hawthorne will both be returning next year, along with Connor Sikorski, the only player to reach the final, which he finished as the runner-up, and his brother, Caden Sikorski, an eighth-grader who will be playing for Lopez next season. This past season, the Green Wave had their sights set on avenging last year’s district loss to Windermere Prep. Next year, their focus will be on not only getting to the state finals, but winning championships. As I watched Sikorski walk off the court after losing his championship match, I saw the anger and disappointment in his face. I walked up and reminded him of his team’s attitude toward Windermere, and I told him that he needed to play with that mentality going forward, until he made it back to states. He agreed. But, he’s not the only one who walked off the court disappointed in defeat. The rest of the team did as well. Now, with a taste of what the state finals feels like, you can expect a hunger for more.

hen Judy Bell first brought Honey Bun into her home, it was only supposed to be a temporary thing. Bell rescued her right before the pup was about to be euthanized at a shelter. She intended on fostering her until she found her a forever home, which is her mission at her organization, Saving One Dog or Cat at a Time, but the plans soon changed. “I failed,” she smiled. “I kept her.” Bell’s story was not unique at the Kritter Jam mass pet adoption event. Shelter owners and volunteers alike all shared stories of how they kept just one too many. The event was held April 11 at Main Street Station in Daytona Beach. Though not every pet was saved that day, several did find their forever homes.
