Comments made by County Council members about the city of Ormond Beach needing to pick up the tab for maintaining a new beach parking lot drew a lot of consternation at the April 21 City Commission meeting. The County Council approved spending $1.8 million to purchase a lot at the corner of Cardinal Drive and State Road A1A. The lot now contains an operating gas station, a defunct nightclub (The Other Place) and a strip mall with closed offices. Before the vote, council members mentioned that Ormond Beach would need to pay for maintenance, which apparently caught Ormond Beach officials by surprise. “I wasn’t called by any county representative and asked my thoughts on them purchasing property for parking,” said Commissioner Troy Kent. “I read about it in the paper, like most of you.” SEE CITY SURPRISED PAGE 4

Ormond YMCA to get a new look Open design, lighting, and a ‘doggie-human fitness trail’ in the works. WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

Dr. Frank Farmer served as an adviser in the Vietnam War. Later, he became surgeon general of the state of Florida.

Hall of Fame veteran says the pendulum has swung too far in the war against prescription drugs. WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

The distinguished career of Dr. Frank Farmer has taken him from college lecture halls, to the rice paddies of Vietnam, to the office of Florida Surgeon General and, recently, induction into the Florida Veterans Hall of Fame. “I tell people I had three professions,” he said recently, “teaching, medicine and the military.” Born in New Smyrna Beach and now living in Ormond Beach, Farmer, 74, has decided to retire, thinking he’d better start doing some things he’s been thinking about. “I read the obituaries and I see people who are younger than me,” he said. He wants to explore the battlefields of the Civil War, which he taught about as a history professor, and write a history on the Vietnam War using his perspective as a historian and veteran. “I want to look into what led to the decisions we kept making, and who had responsibility,” he said. “I know books have been written. But I want to get new facts and perspectives.” He said the Vietnam experience provides valuable lessons, when it comes to deciding whether to engage in a war, and developing a strategy for winning. He believes the big mistake in Vietnam was fighting for a negotiated settlement rather than a victory. Also, people should consider the possible consequences before entering into warfare, such as recent experiences in the Middle East. Farmer started his career as a teacher. He attended Stetson University and the University of Georgia, attaining a doctorate in history, and taught history at the University of Georgia. “I enjoyed history, and inspiring young people,” he said.

STRATEGY A NEW CAREER DISCOVERED IN WAR-TORN VIETNAM

It was 1969, and the country was divided in the debate about the Vietnam War. Following a desire to serve his country, Farmer quit his teaching position and joined the Army. He was deployed to Vietnam. He knew it might be difficult to return to academia, because of the strong anti-war sentiment. As his tour of duty was running out, he contacted universities about returning as a professor, but received letters stating there were no openings. “They said they didn’t understand why I would resign and join the Army,” he said. That’s when his second career got started. His assignment was as a medevac officer in the Mekong Delta, helping the injured. “They depended on me getting them on a helicopter,” he said. “I found out I liked that part.” He decided to pursue medicine after being discharged and went to the Medical College of Georgia. After internship and residency, he began private practice as an internist in 1980. In 2004, he became medical director at Covance Inc., a medical products company. He also continued his military career while practicing medicine. He was in the inactive Army reserve 1971-1979, and a battalion surgeon in the Florida National Guard from 1985 to 1994. In 1994, he joined the Air Force Reserves and served as flight surgeon at Elgin Air Force Base, until retiring as a colonel in 2004. “Other doctors were playing golf on the weekends,” he said. “But I enjoyed it.”

TO WIN ANTI-DRUG PENDULUM SWUNG TOO FAR?

In 2011, Gov. Rick Scott called and asked him to be surgeon general. He said as he drove to Tallahassee, he wondered what “epidemic,” or major task, he would be faced with. After he started the job, he received calls from the mothers of people who had died from overdoses of OxyContin and other prescription drugs, asking him to do something about the problem. He learned that of the top 100 OxyContin prescribing doctors in the U.S., 98 were in Florida. “People were driving from other states to buy it and then sell on the streets,” he said. “Prescription drugs were rampant.” The state needed a strategy for winning. During his one-year tenure, he developed a drug monitoring program and more than 300 “pill mills” closed. The number of top OxyContin prescribing doctors in Florida dropped to 13. He said there was a lot of work done by a lot of other people, including laws passed by the state legislature, which stopped the drug epidemic. But it’s too early to declare victory. Some say now that drugs for pain are too difficult to get for those who genuinely need them, and Farmer agrees.

“Anyone who needs pain medicine should get it.” Dr. FRANK FARMER, on the problem of patients getting drugs for pain

“The pendulum has swung too far the other way,” he said. “Anyone who needs pain medicine should get it.” He said state and federal laws should both be examined, and if any laws are causing the problem, they should be changed. He also suspects that pharmaceutical companies are finding it too inconvenient to comply with the laws, and they share the blame for patients not being able to get prescriptions they need.

Susan Weis regularly takes her poodle to the dog park at Bicentennial Park in Ormond-by-theSea. That’s why she was happy to hear that the plans for the Ormond Beach YMCA, which is closer to her home, include adding a dog park. “It’s an excellent idea,” she said. “I know many people in this town will support it. It’s good for the dogs to socialize, and the people get to socialize, too.” Weis made her comments April 28 at the official unveiling of plans for a complete renovation of the YMCA on Sterthaus Drive. Teresa Rand, CEO, said they are halfway to their $5 million fundraising goal and expect construction to start next year. The pool, which was in phase one, should be complete by the end of June. The facility will have a completely new look if all goes to plan, with extensive lighting, fountains at two entrances and expanded parking. The interior will have more a more open design and a community room. The gymnasium will become a large cardio area. “We’re going to continue all of our basketball and volleyball programs,” Rand said. They will be moved to the Holly Hill YMCA. Those attending the meeting were asked to write suggestions on “sticky notes” and place them on the wall of the gymnasium. Rand said the design is still very fluid and member ideas will be considered by the project team. Charles Lydecker, a top executive at Brown and Brown Inc., who is spearheading the fundraising and renovation, said some people tell him that the YMCA in Ormond is hard to find, in its current location in a wooded area. “The flip side is we’re in a beautiful hammock,” he said. He said there are plans for a yoga room, with views of the woods, for a “zen experience.” He also pointed out that the Y is strategically located in the center of town. An audience member said he also likes the location. He said he lives on the beachside, and he is glad to see the Y renovated rather having a new one built out near Interstate 95, where new construction tends to take place. Lydecker said a “doggiehuman fitness trail” will be available to the public, as well as the pool on certain days, and that should increase membership. He said the facility will have such a “wow” factor, that visitors will want to join. Currently, there are about 6,000 members of the Y. Member James Lambert said he uses the Y every day, and is glad to see the renovation plans. He said the current design reminds him of the 1950s. Rand said the facility will remain open throughout the construction.

City surprised by county plans for new parking lot

Ormond Beach

FROM PAGE 1

Mayor Ed Kelley said no commissioners were notified. Kent said he applauded the purchase of land for beach parking, but didn’t like hearing that the city would pay for upkeep. “Don’t put me in a corner and tell me what I have to do,” he said. “That doesn’t feel right.” Kelley said that his understanding, after talking to representatives, is that an agreement will be negotiated. “I told two members of the County Council that we need to discuss it,” he said. “We don’t want to have it imposed on us.” Kent said he applauds adding any beach parking, but Commissioner James Stowers said he is not in favor of west-side parking. “In Ponce Inlet, you have two lanes. You park on the west side, and jump over 24 feet of pavement,” he said. “This is five lanes.” Also, he said he was disappointed that the county is making plans on their own, because the city and the county had partnered in a positive way to build Andy Romano Beachfront Park.

He would like to work with the county on building another lot on the east side of the highway. “I’m begging and pleading to go back to the successful partnerships we’ve had,” he said. “The welcome mat is out.” Commissioner Bill Partington said he didn’t see a problem with west-side parking, but there should be a walkover and dropoff area on the east side of A1A. City Manager Joyce Shanahan mentioned that she had met with county officials about beach parking. Last year, County Councilman Doug Daniels and Deputy County Attorney Jamie Seaman showed her a list of properties along State Road A1A that the county was looking at purchasing. After the meeting, she said if the county wants to partner with cities for development, there should be a dialogue and a planning process. The city does not currently have any money budgeted for park development. Caleb Barnaby, who lives near the new lot, told a reporter that he is glad to hear about the plans, because the current closed businesses are a haven for “delinquents.” He pointed out that a west-side beach parking lot down the street at Rockefeller Drive is not used very much, but believes the new one at Cardinal may be used more because it should be more visible from State Road A1A.

Speaking out: Positive Champions create a familiar face for HIV The Positive Champions Speakers Bureau was recently honored for its impact in the community. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

When Jeff Allen was first diagnosed with HIV, he decided to move to a place where homosexuality and his disease were accepted: Key West. Living off little money and mustard sandwiches, Allen told no one about his diagnosis, believing the battle of his addiction to cocaine and heroin to be more important. After he got a job and started making more money, he fell back into drugs, and eventually became homeless. It wasn’t until he was on the edge of death that his life began to change for the better. Allen was in the hospital, sick with PCP pneumonia for four weeks, when he met someone who had ventured down the same path. That person gave him the support and guidance he needed to get a job, have a spiritual connection, stay sober and even have his own place. All this person asked was that Allen pay it forward. And for the past 27 years, that’s exactly what he’s done. “I had been involved with the Central Florida AIDS Planning Consortium for many years,” said Allen, who has been an Ormond Beach resident since 1995. “The HIV infection rate was on the rise,

and when we asked the people why they didn’t know their status, they said they just didn’t want to be involved with an HIV organization. We were concerned.” That’s when Allen decided to start the Positive Champions Speakers Bureau, a charity that allows individuals who have HIV/ AIDS, or have been affected by the disease in some way, to speak about the fear and stigma associated with it. “We thought if we get a group of people together, and put a face to HIV to show it’s not just gay or drug-related, maybe this would make people want to get tested and know their status.” Since he began working with Positive Champions, his focus has also been on quality improvement for individuals living with the disease. He was included in the FACES OF HIV campaign which is a statewide prevention campaign put forth by the Florida Department of Health, and this year he was recognized in “POZ Magazine” as among the 100 of America’s Unsung Heros. Currently, the Positive Champions Speakers Bureau has 13 speakers that travel all throughout the community speaking about the disease, and how to treat and prevent it.

BRIEFS Residents help direct city’s future Preserving historic buildings and natural beauty seemed on the top of people’s minds at a “Community Conversation” on April 18 at the Performing Arts Center. Another meeting was held on April 22, and the meetings drew a total of 107 people, according to a city spokeswoman. Facilitating the workshop was Marilyn Crotty, director of the Florida Institute of Government at the University of Central Florida. The City Commission will have the results of the meetings for a Strategic Planning workshop 3:30-9 p.m. May 12, in Conference Room 103 in City Hall. “This is the beginning of a strategic plan for Ormond Beach,” said Crotty. Ann Crescitelli, who moved to Ormond Beach two years ago from New York, said she didn’t want Ormond Beach to make the same mistakes that were made up north. “We watched it all get built up,” she said. “They kept adding condos and it changed the character of the town.” Kimberly Park said the city should attract modern industry, such as software development, to have a diversified population. Other desirable items mentioned included walkability, mass transit, sophisticated yet friendly, green spaces, recreation, sensible growth and economic development.

Expired food? Not so fast ...

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Hurricane season is coming up again: It begins June 1. And so, it’s time for everyone to get your emergency food supplies together. My family has always had a 72-hour emergency kit in a plastic tote, thanks to the efforts of my wife, Hailey. We were stocked with three days’ worth of oats-and-honey granola bars, Nutri-Grain Bars, Ramen noodles, fruit snacks, little cups of diced peaches, trail mix and Capri Sun pouches. So, basically, we were going to eat like kings. The problem is, you have to rotate the food every six months or so to make sure it doesn’t get stale. We hadn’t done that in years, so when we opened up the tote a few weeks ago, we discovered that everything was expired. For a long while, I stared at the mounds of food, all neatly sealed in Ziploc baggies. “What, are we just supposed to throw it all away?” I asked Hailey. “Well, we need to buy more,” she said. “But you can try it if you want.” And try it, I did. I start-

ed with the fruit snacks, Walmart Fruit Smiles. I prefer stale fruit snacks anyway — I like to feel like I’m biting into something tough and substantial. And the expired kind did the trick. A few of the packs were a bit slimy, but not in an unhealthy way, just syrupy. Delicious! Next were the Nutri-Grain Bars. A bit crumbly, and the jelly was a bit darker than you’d like to see, but not bad. Just don’t try to eat them while driving. The peaches? Divine. Might as well not even have an expiration date on those. I let the kids drink the Capri Suns, and they filed no complaints. Trail mix is no good when it’s old. But erstwhile crunchy oats-and-honey granola bars are pleasantly chewy when expired. THE TEST OF TIME

You can call this food “expired” if you want, but I like to call it “free.” Because all this stuff is theoretically garbage, right? We were planning to throw it away and replace it. In fact, Hailey already bought replacement food, and the 72-hour kit has already been sealed back up and set on a shelf in the garage. So, instead of paying for lunch food, I will choose a free package of Ramen noodles, please. Expiration date of 112112? I’ll be the judge of that.

And as it turns out, Ramen noodles are good eating, even after a few years. And they come with a sense of humor about their notorious nutrition facts. On the packet, under the warning that you’re about to consume 70% of your daily sodium, there is a helpful tip that says, “You may reduce the sodium level by simply using less of the seasoning packet.” Heh heh. The folks at Ramen are creative, you have to admit. I could imagine a similar suggestion on a Snickers: “You may reduce the amount of fat by simply throwing half of this candy bar in the trash.” DON’T TRUST ME?

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture created an app called USDA FoodKeeper to get more people to follow my example of eating expired food. From blogs.usda.gov: “Every year, billions of pounds of good food go to

EMERGENCY GUIDE How should you prepare for an emergency? There are also great resources on the Volusia County government website: volusia.org/services/ public-protection/emergency-management/.

waste in the U.S. because home cooks are not sure of the quality or safety of items. USDA estimates that 21% of the available food in the U.S. goes uneaten at the consumer level. In total, 36 pounds of food per person is wasted each month at the retail and consumer levels!” If it’s on a .gov site, and if it has an exclamation point at the end, you know it must be true. A foxnews.com article about the new app quotes a USDA official saying this: “Many products may have a sell-by date of, say, April 1, but they could be good in your pantry for another 12 or 18 months. And by throwing those out, what you’re doing, is you’re contributing to food waste in the United States.” So please, Observer readers, don’t throw away your Ramen noodles. Go right ahead and eat them. However, take it from a person with experience: You don’t want to eat the expired beef jerky.

Ormond Beach residents in need of expert hospice care can find it close to home at Halifax Health - Hospice’s newest Care Center located at 235 Booth Road in Ormond Beach. The beautiful, $5-million facility joins Halifax Health - Hospice care centers in Port Orange, Orange City and Edgewater in serving the compassionate care needs of Volusia and Flagler county residents. “We are excited to expand our hospice care services to our neighbors in Ormond Beach,” says Fran Davis, executive director of Halifax Health - Hospice. “Like our other Care Centers in Volusia County, this facility will provide a homelike setting where hospice nurses, physicians, spiritual and emotional support care staff and trained volunteers offer around-the-clock compassionate care for patients who are unable to remain at home.” The Ormond Beach Care Center is an impressive 12-bed, 20,320-square-foot facility that includes a kitchen, chapel, living room, and a garden area that features a labyrinth where family members can reflect. In addition, the garden area includes a veterans’ memorial. The Care Center is themed after the iconic Hotel Ormond, a beloved Ormond Beach hotel that hosted many of America’s elite industrialists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Opened in 1888, the hotel’s guests included John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and the Vanderbilts. The Care Center features several artifacts from the hotel, including a door, windows, banisters, a menu and other items that are on display and incorporated into the Care Center’s design. “It is an honor to house these beautiful artifacts that once adorned the Hotel Ormond. It makes us feel even more a part of our new neighborhood,” Davis says.

SPORTS Adrian Killins: “Things will be different at state this year”

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

Volusia and Flagler county women get to live a life-long dream, playing organized tackle football. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

here is a group of women that blends in with society throughout the day. Some of these ladies patrol the streets as law enforcement officers, firefighters and college professors, while others work at, manage and own businesses. But, what they do in the evenings may come as a surprise to their co-workers: They play football — tackle football. “There are a lot of ladies that get after it like the men do,” said Darold Williams, the Daytona Waverunners head coach. “If their hair wasn’t hanging out of their helmets, you might forget that there are women out there playing.” The Daytona Waverunners, a semiprofessional women’s tackle football team in the Women’s Football Alliance, has played three games in its inaugural sea-

son. For most of the ladies, they are playing football for the first time in their lives, but for those like Taylor Wood, though she wasn’t getting tackled, she’s been around the game for a while. “I grew up playing with my brothers,” the 5-foot-3-inch. 115-pound receiver said. “I also played flag football in high school, so I’m pretty familiar with football. I’ve been an athlete all my life.” Wood, a cook at the Panda Express, is one of the smallest players on the field, but her

speed, which she inherited from her mother, a former track star, allows her to avoid dangerous hits and make big plays for her team. She found out about the women’s tackle league when she overheard a player talking about tryouts, as she rode on the bus. “I never thought there would be a league like this,” Wood added. “I just came out a while back, tried out, and I’ve been here ever since.” While the game seems to

come easy for Wood, that isn’t the case for everyone, according to Williams. “A lot of the guys that play football have been playing since Pee Wee League,” he said. “Having to coach the ladies and teach them the rules of the game are some of the hardest things for us coaches.” On top of a full-time job and learning a new sport, most of the players are moms. While their moms practice and play under the night lights on game day, some of the kids and significant others cheer and root from the stands, while some get close to the action on the sideline, a few even running up and down the field as ball boys. A great factor about playing for the Waverunners, according to Wood, are the many connections on the team. Because so many opportunities are represented, either teammates help other teammates with various issues, or they always know someone who can assist. Because the team is still in its infancy, the Daytona Waverunners are still recruiting and holding open tryouts for any ladies who want to fulfill a dream.

his past football season, I wrote a feature about Adrian Killins’ speed. Honestly, I knew he was pretty fast on the football field, but I knew very little about his track-running potential. I was seeking an angle, other than football, and I decided to go with his speed. After seeing him on the track for the first time, at the East Coast Classic, where he set a national time, I was confident I picked the right topic. Last year, Killins finished third and second in the 100- and 200-meter dash runs in districts, and also fell just short of winning at regionals, but this season Killins has avenged all his close losses. He swept the top speed runs at Mainland’s conference, district and regional track meets, and now Killins is staring down the only meet where he hasn’t been victorious: the state finals. As a sophomore, Killins finished seventh in the 100 and sixth in the 200. “I was not happy with my finishes last year, but they humbled me,” Killins said. “But, I’m not going to dwell on the past, because it’s a new year and a new era. I’m feeling healthy and wellprepared, so I’m confident I’ll capture a title for my school and my community.” Killins’ speed has garnered attention by some of the top colleges in the nation. He’s already received offers from the University of Miami, West Virginia, Michigan State and Missouri, to name a few, and after running the fastest 40-yard dash time, out of over 500 athletes, at the Rivals Combine Series on March 28 in Tampa, Killins’ stock is only rising. Right now, Killins isn’t thinking about the college he’ll attend. The only thing in his mind is running. “Things will be different at state this year,” he said. “I don’t expect anything except first place. With the help of God on my side all things are possible; the sky is the limit.”

The Arc is a nonprofit organization that assists adults with developmental disabilities in building skills, independence and education. Leadership Ormond is sponsored by the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce. Individuals attend a series of half-day sessions to learn about government and business issues in the city. The current class ends May 7. At the Arc, the class members filled a dumpster with trash, cleaned, painted and built a work bench. “We’re giving back to the community,” said project cochairwoman Mary Smith. Mike Beauregard, in charge of maintenance at The Arc, said the help in getting the building cleaned and organized was overwhelming. “I’m pumped,” he said, “I really am.”

A beautiful Earth Day in the neighborhood

Ormond gaming community helps peer The Arena LAN Center hosted a fundraiser for Jason Burkhart, 24, who was diagnosed with cancer.

City celebrates Earth Day with 23rd-annual Picnic on the Plaza.

EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

The kids of Mrs. Leslye Grossmann’s class wiggled their toes in the grass as they ate their sandwiches and drank their juice boxes Thursday morning. The Ormond Beach Elementary students had walked over to City Hall to participate in the Earth Day 2015 Picnic on the Plaza. Grossmann said her students had spent the past week learning about their planet. “Videos, foldables, all sorts of information,” she said. “They’ve learned a lot of ways to save, and they had to make a pledge to do so.” The event took place April 23, and also included music by Five O’Clock Charley and dozens of booths and exhibits on how to keep the earth clean.

Mrs. Cook’s second-grade class walked over to City Hall from Ormond Beach Elementary.

“But then I thought ‘OK, I have cancer. What can I do next about it?’” JASON BURKHART, 24, on being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma two months ago.

David Carter said. “Especially not in your 20s. That’s supposed to be a fun time.” The gaming center was full, and raised $585 for Burkhart’s GoFundMe account. “It was packed,” Burkhart laughed. “I wasn’t able to get on anything! I didn’t want to kick anyone off, so I just sat back and watched.” To donate to help Burkhart, visit gofundme.com. Email emily@ormondbeachobserver.com.

The Arena LAN Center was packed full April 19 for the Ballin’ for Burkhart fundraising event. Jason Burkhart, who has been a supporter of the arena since it opened, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s lymphoma two months ago. “It all came around when I was at my chiropractor for back pain,” Burkhart said. “He said my lymph nodes looked very swollen, and I should get checked out. At first I didn’t think anything of it.” After multiple tests, he found out that the cancer had been going on for a while, and had spread throughout his entire body. Burkhart didn’t know how to react. “I was shocked more than anything,” he said. “But then I thought ‘OK, I have cancer. What can I do next about it?’” He’s started chemotherapy to battle the cancer, and will likely remain on it for six months. Though he’d like to own his own business one day, Burkhart currently works as a stocker for Publix. With the medical bills piling up, his friends at Arena LAN decided to pitch in. “Nobody should have to deal with anything like what Jason is going through,” Arena LAN owner

Thrift shop offers a ‘hand up’ not ‘hand out’ Income-eligible area residents and the homeless get food and clothing to help make ends meet. WAYNE GRANT STAFF WRITER

The Hand Me Ups thrift shop, 1100 Ocean Shore Blvd., looks like a lot of other thrift stores. There are racks of clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, household items, toys, etc. But there’s more. Rather than just raising money for those in need, they help them directly. They have a food bank downstairs, and provide vouchers for those in need so they also can get clothing. The store was started about three years ago by the Society of St. Vincent dePaul, of nearby St. Brendan Catholic Church. Food and clothing are donated by area residents and church members, and money raised in the thrift store is used to buy food for the pantry. Lois Jaskulsky, vice president of the society, said when she and her husband moved to the beachside 10 years ago, they felt like they were moving to paradise. After the society opened the thrift store and food pantry about three years ago, she found out it’s not paradise for everyone.

She said she was shocked at how many people in the area have trouble making ends meet. For example, there are families with children who get food stamps, but sometimes near the end of the month they need help putting enough food on the table. The Hand Me Ups store also helps the homeless. Jaskulsky tells the story of a man who was living in nearby woods. “We were able to provide food, then a tent, then clothes,” she said. “That led to a dish washing job and an apartment. We’re happy about him. There are not many stories like that, but that’s why we do what we do.” They have a special food package for the homeless, called a snack pack. It has food items that don’t need cooking, as well as tooth paste, deodorant, etc. For the homeless, simple items like socks and underwear are important. “That doesn’t sound like much to us who live in a house but to them it’s a big deal,” she said. “We’re not just handing out a bag of groceries,” Jaskulsky said. “Hopefully they can pull them-

selves out of a hole. They realize there are people willing to help them and not judge them.” They sometimes help people get bus tickets so they can return home. For example, a young couple had moved to the area, hoping for a bright future. They couldn’t find work and ended up on the street. The Society of St. Vincent dePaul worked with a chapter in the couple’s hometown and were able to get them back home.

The society is aided by the St. Vincentians, fifth- through eighth-grade students at St. Brendan. At the school, the students had an opportunity to have a dress-down day if they donated $5. The St. Vincentians were able to provide $1,040 to the thrift store. “We feel like this is what our faith has asked us to do,” Jaskulsky said. “Our mission is to feed and clothe the needy.”

Smiling through the blues Einstein’s Bagels Though this 4-year-old might be singin’ the blues, he’s anything but sad about his cerebral palsy. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

Matthew McGrane isn’t like a lot of the kids his age, but not for the reasons you may think. The 4-year-old has a very specific taste in music. Let’s just say “The Wheels on the Bus” is not on his playlist. “I started singing blues to him when he was not even 2 years old,” his mother, Heather Eaton McGrane, said. “It cracks me up because he’s this angel-faced 4-year-old belting out this song by B.B. King called ‘Ghetto Woman.’ It’s fascinating.”

And his love of blues and the people who created it goes far beyond the songs. His mother says he spends his time watching concert videos and documentaries about the early blues era. They even baked cookies on March 30, in honor of Eric Clapton’s birthday. Matthew’s unique taste in music isn’t the only thing that separates him from his peers. He told the Observer that he has a superpower: cerebral palsy. “His power is that his brain and his muscle communicate in a very special way,” Heather McGrane said.

Emily Blackwood

“You’re doing great, kid,” Heather Eaton McGrane tells her son.

After being born two-and-ahalf months premature, Matthew was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia, or PVL, a year later. His diagnosis makes large and fine motor skills difficult. Through physical therapy, he’s been able to teach his brain how to do things like walk up stairs and chew foods. “It’s training the muscles to respond,” his mom said. “Things that we normally don’t have to think about or learn by trial and error, Matthew has to learn to think about.” Matthew’s next challenge is to teach his legs how to walk without braces with a WalkAide, an electronic stimulation device. Heather Eaton McGrane’s insurance may not cover the cost of the WalkAide, which has been the story for most of Matthew’s medical expenses. As a single mom working as an English professor at Daytona State College, she pays $8,000 to cover what insurance won’t, and the new device is an additional $5,000. That’s why she set up a GiveForward campaign to raise money to pay for Matthew’s medical expenses and to raise money for the WalkAide, which she believes will majorly improve his movement and fatigue issues. “The response has already been so overwhelming,” she said. “We’ve already raised $2,250 just from my friends and family alone.” Visit her GiveFoward.com page to donate.

boss gives back Michael Towzen learned lessons early in career. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

Michael Towzen started off in the hospitality industry at a fivestar restaurant, where customers would dress to the nines, often wearing tuxedoes. Still, this ritzy restaurant wasn’t one for exclusivity. “When we would close for the holidays,” he said, “my boss would open the restaurant for homeless people. He would buy nice outfits for the whole families, to let them dress up and eat at a nice restaurant for once.” Towzen attempted to carry that type of business and community partnership through his career. He’s worked at Applebees, Taco Bell and a few high-end restaurants in Atlanta before moving to Ormond Beach. It was here that his life dramatically changed. Four years ago, Towzen was diagnosed with kidney cancer. “It started as a pain in my side that they thought was a kidney stone,” he said. “It was actually a large tumor on my right kidney.” Though the tumor was removed with no issues, he said it was just the wake-up call he needed to get him back on track. Soon after, he and his wife divorced. He stayed

in Florida to remain close to his 12-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. “It was pretty scary,” he said. “But I came out a lot stronger on the other side. It refocused me.” He said that’s why he decided to work at Einstein Bros. Bagels, 110 S. Nova Road, because it had the same philosophy as the first restaurant he started at. “You got to make the place a home,” he said. “Get to know the people who walk in the door every day. We’re creatures of habit. The same people get out of their car at 6:15 every morning, and Frankie’s already got their cup of coffee ready. You get to be a part of their life.”
