EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

p until this year, no one has ever told Adrienne Bishop that her 6-year-old daughter would be able to walk. A few months and one revolutionary surgery later, that dream is looking more and more like reality. Avery Bishop, who has quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy, had a selective dorsal rhizotomy procedure a month ago to help relieve the spasticity and tightness in her muscles that makes it hard for her to walk without the assistance of a walker. Thanks to this procedure, her mom says she should be able to walk independently in a year. “It takes about a month to get to pre-op levels,” Adrienne Bishop said. “So we’re kind of just getting back to where she was before. She’s going to Easter Seals for physical therapy five days a week. We’re working on strength training.” In order to pay for the surgery — which was done at St. Louis Children’s Hospital — the Bishops had to raise nearly $40,000 from the community. They held yard sales, had fundraisers and reached out to people via Facebook to get the help they needed. “We were there for a week, and she didn’t want to come home,” Adrienne Bishop chuckled. “It was the first time we met the surgeon, so that was really amazing. People come from all over the world to see him. It was surreal that we were able to go and have the surgery.” For updates on Avery Bishop’s progress, follow the Facebook page “Help Avery Bishop Walk.”

Aberdeen residents plead for traffic light NEXT STEP

Coming subdivisions would add to traffic.

The next step for the rezoning approval will be City Commission approval, tentatively set for Sept. 20, first reading, and Oct. 4, second reading.

WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

Wayne Grant

Roy Rearden says a traffic light is needed at Clyde Morris Boulevard and Allwood Green Boulevard, the Aberdeen intersection.

The residents were speaking at a Aug. 11 Planning Board meeting where a rezoning was considered to allow a Planned Residential Development of a 48-lot, 28.6acre subdivision at 355 Clyde Morris Blvd. called Cypress Trails. The property is zoned low density, which means that the development must be approved as a PRD if the planned lots are less than two acres each or one acre if connected to water and sewer. Cypress Trails would be north

of the Aberdeen access to Clyde Morris Boulevard, but another subdivision, called Birchwood, is planned directly across from Aberdeen. It’s by the same developer, Grande Champion Partners LLC and Indigo Development LLC, but it will be in Daytona Beach and not under the control of Ormond Beach. The Aberdeen residents in the audience want a traffic light at their street installed before the subdivisions bring more traffic.

COUNTY JURISDICTION

Bringing Volusia County into the picture is that Clyde Morris is under county jurisdiction for traffic signals or any other kind of traffic control. Board Member Howard Briley told the audience that the county was supposed to consider a traffic light at the Aberdeen entrance when Clyde Morris Boulevard was widened to four-lanes. He encouraged the residents to follow up with the county and find out the status of that study.

Board chairman Doug Thomas asked City Attorney Randy Hayes if the board could put in a caveat about a traffic light with their rezoning approval, and Hayes responded that they could add an annotation that the county should do what is required for traffic, but it would not be binding. The board members agreed the traffic light problem was not their purview, but decided to add wording to the motion approving the PRD. “It’s a precarious position to have three entities,” said Board Member Lori Tolland. “I agree we should put our concerns to the county. We need to be proactive.” The board members also agreed with the audience that a traffic light will be needed in the future if children from the new subdivisions walk across the road to get to Hinson Middle School. “These are large houses and would have children,” said Board Member Rita Press. “They would cross the street which would be impossible.” The board approved the rezoning, with a note to let the minutes show their concern about traffic and a traffic light. The next step for the rezoning approval will be City Commission approval, tentatively set for Sept. 20 and Oct. 4, first and second readings.

TALE OF TWO CITIES

Sometimes a person gets caught between a rock and a hard place. From the discussion at a recent Planning Board meeting, it seems some residents are caught between Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach and Volusia County. Several residents of Aberdeen, an adult living community off Clyde Morris Boulevard, appeared at the meeting to express their fears of new planned subdivisions on the busy highway, adding traffic and making it even more difficult to get out of their neighborhood. There is no traffic light at Clyde Morris Boulevard where it intersects with their street, Allwood Green Boulevard. “We need a traffic light. We need one now without this (new subdivision),” said Roy Rearden, representing the Aberdeen Home Owners Association. He believes it’s only a matter of time before an Aberdeen resident is killed. Another resident said that Aberdeen has people 70 years old and older. “They’re scared to pull out into traffic,” she said. “They sit. You’re going to have some bad trouble.” But Aberdeen resident Marge Gaither added that they drive safely. “We are senior citizens,” she said, “but we go to traffic schools and obey all the rules.”

Ormond schools take on over 300

Have faith, will travel Missing Peace is celebrating one year of adult gymnastics, garden cleanups and other worship experiments in Ormond Beach.

EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

The idea for a nomadic, experimental community church came from a ladies’ brainstorming session. When they thought about what kind of world they wanted their kids to live in, they decided they wanted them to be physically and mentally healthy, to exercise their intellect, to make time to give back to their community and to develop spiritually. While the majority of those could be accomplished in the course of normal activity at school or play, the women felt like spiritual development was something people don’t have much access to out in the world. It was the “Missing Peace,” they decided to name their church after. “We asked what was the missing piece in the lives of our families, communities and the peacefulness that’s kind of missing in the world,” said Missing Peace Pastor Katy Cuthill Steinberg. “The institutional church wasn’t

that place for a lot of people.” The church launched in August 2015, and members will be celebrating their one-year anniversary Aug. 28. In an effort to remain nomadic and be out in the community taking action, the church meets in a different place every week that’s appropriate for the activity. Each week, the service is based on worship through physical, spiritual, cerebral, service and play. They’ve cleaned up community gardens, participated in adult gymnastics, walked a labyrinth and asked local professors spiritual questions about the creation of the universe. Every unique activity is an experiment that relates in someway to Steinberg’s message. They have an average of 15 to 30 people attending services every week, and in total they’ve had 175 people attend at least one event this past year. Steinberg also gives her sermon after the service via Facebook live, and said she has an average of 300 to 500 people

tuning in each week. “I think people are hungry for a spiritual engagement,” she said. “The spiritual self has been neglected, and traditional churches have gotten disconnected with the community. Some of that is good, we’re preserving who we are, but it creates a disconnect. We’re [Missing Peace] being engaged in the community. We’re going and doing and moving. It’s not come here and sit, but we’re going to go and do it.” Steinberg doesn’t think traditional churches are doing anything wrong, but rather that they’re not for everybody. Missing Peace is offering something that might appeal to a person who doesn’t feel connected in a normal church setting. “We launched this thing as such an experiment,” she said. “My hope would be that we would grow in numbers, but not lack in depth.” Follow Missing Peace on Facebook for more information or visit ormondsmissingpeace.com.

MISSING PEACE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY 10:30 a.m. at 1 N. Beach St. Missing Peace partners and friends to join for a time of celebration, food, drink, and highlights from the last year.

After the state gave the parents of Campbell Middle School students the option to send their kids to another, higher-performing school, Ormond Beach middle schools have found themselves a little more crowded this year. Hinson Middle School took on 147 students, while Ormond Beach Middle School took on 160. While both principals say the addition has come with some definite adjustments, both are also reporting smooth sailing. “The only strain I’m seeing is in the common areas, such as bus loop and parent pickup,” said Ormond Beach Middle School Principal Matt Krajewski. “They are a little more congested, but the school was built to be over capacity.” OBMS is currently at 85% capacity. Last year, they finished with 1,040 students, and this year they are starting with 1,069. But even with the increase, Krajewski said they still have the space in classrooms and will not be needing portables on campus. David C. Hinson Sr. Middle School started off just under capacity at 930 students. An atcapacity level is considered to be 1,065. They are now at 1,077 students, and Principal Robert Ouellette said they will be hiring more staff to take on the additional students. “We’re in the process of hiring some more people, such as a P.E. teacher,” Ouellette said. “We actually received a teacher from Campbell too, along with the new students.” Despite the need for a few more teachers, Ouellette said the school year is off to a great start. “The beginning of the year is always a flexible time,” he said. “But we’re not doubled up on any classrooms. Math class isn’t being held in the media center or anything like that. Sometimes the unknown is more of an issue than the known. Once you get into it, things start to run really smooth. It’s been a great first week of school.”

iffany Paraggio has always known what kind of person her mother is. Generous and never one to think twice about giving back, Donna Paraggio’s tendency to help pay a stranger’s bill at the grocery store landed her some fame two years ago. She won the “#liveAOK” contest on the TV show “LIVE with Kelly and Michael,” which was started to reward and celebrate people with a generous spirit. Paraggio won because she paid a grocery store balance for a young mother who came up short at the register at the Publix in The Trails Shopping Center. The prize was $500 and a year’s supply of Extra Gum — which didn’t make it the full year thanks to her grandson. Now the woman known for generosity is asking for some help. Over the years, she’s developed bone-on-bone arthritis in one of her knees that’s gotten so bad that she can’t make it around the grocery store without a wheelchair. “My knee feels like it’s gonna break in half when I walk some-

times,” Donna Paraggio said. “I miss the those days when I could walk around the store without being in pain. I used to walk around my apartment complex every night. I can’t do that anymore.” Tiffany Paraggio said she moved down to Ormond Beach from New York because she wanted to be close to her mom and help take care of her during this difficult time. In addition to her knee problems, Donna Paraggio also has stage-four kidney disease. “I couldn’t take hearing her every day tell me how much pain she is in,” Tiffany Paraggio said. “I wanted to come down because I don’t know how much longer I’ll have with her. She’s gotten progressively worse, and it keeps me up at night.” Tiffany Paraggio also said she thinks her mother — who is 66 years old — is way too young to be having all these medical issues. “She’s so young,” Tiffany Paraggio said. “Her parents were in their 80s when they passed and never had problems like that. I had to buy her a wheelchair for when we go food shopping.” “I’m falling apart,” Donna Par-

aggio chuckled, still attempting to be in good spirits. In order for Donna Paraggio to get the knee replacement surgery needed for her to walk, she would have to take three months off work and be able to pay for the procedure itself, medication, rehabilitation, physical therapy and all the other bills and necessities needed for day-to-day life. Her current job does not offer short or long-term disability, so Tiffany Paraggio had the idea of starting a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her mother to get the help she needs. They’re wanting to raise $15,000. “I’m helping her as much as I can,” Tiffany Paraggio said. “But I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job. My mom needs this. I’ve witnessed her paying for the person behind her in the drive-thru. She does stuff like that all the time. It’s the type of person she is. I know she’d do this for someone else.” Anyone interested in donating to help Donna Paraggio pay for her knee replacement surgery, visit gofundme.com/2jcmvf3h. The name of the campaign is “Mom Needs Knee Replacement.”

Mannarino said the building they will be occupying is now just an office and a warehouse, and PGG will be converting it to a manufacturing facility and doubling the size of the building. The $1,000 per job from the city will help the company get a grant of $5,000 per job offered by the state. The average salary of the jobs, which will be added over a three-year period, must be $39,900 which is 115% of the average wage in Volusia County. . Mannarino said the company officials worked with Volusia CEO Business Alliance, looked around the area and liked the Ormond Beach Business Park. One advantage at the park, Mannarino said, is that it has an efficient canal drainage system that allows a company to cover 80% of their lot with impervious surface. Mannarino said it will be a significant boost to the economy as well as an improvement and expansion of a building.

A manufacturer will be moving to Ormond Beach with the promise of bringing 38 jobs over a threeyear period with salaries above the local average. The City Commission recently approved an incentive package for the company. The officials approved growth assistance funding of $106,800 over a five-year period to PGG, a machinery winding and coil processing manufacturing company, now located in Ringwood, New Jersey. They plan to move their entire operation to 3 Aviator Way in the Ormond Beach Business Park over the next few months. The incentives include $1,000 per employee hired, a capital investment incentive payment of $37,200 and reimbursement of city property tax, expected to be $31,600, on the value they add to the building over five years. These incentives depend on the company spending $750,000 in building renovations and installing $2.15 million in manufacturing equipment, as well as adding 38 jobs. Joe Mannarino, city economic development director, said they may bring a couple of employees down from New Jersey, but most will be hired here. Machinists and engineers will be needed.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 2016

‘No’ on Amendment 4 Property-tax breaks for solar-energy devices sounds and reads like an environmental Apple Pie issue. But with every new law, there are always winners and losers. Here we go again: Another proposed constitutional amendment on Florida’s ballot that reads and sounds like Apple Pie goodness. If approved by 60% of voters in the Aug. 30 primary elections, Amendment 4 would codify in the state constitution tax breaks for having solar or renewable energy devices on all property. The big change from existing exemptions is that the tax breaks would be broadened to include not only residential but commercial properties as well. If passed, Amendment 4 will be the first step toward energy and economic utopia in Florida. At least that’s the impression the two primary proponents of the measure give you. Those proponents, by the way, are Floridians for Solar Choice Inc., which is mostly funded by the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE), a Knoxville, Tennesseebased organization of climate-change activists who have contributed nearly $2 million of the $2.12 million Floridians for Solar Choice has received in contributions since January 2015. But whenever a new law is adopted, there are always — always — unintended consequences, and there are always winners and losers. This also reminds us of the famous dictum about laws from the late Nobel economist Milton Friedman: What you give to one, you must take away from another. So let’s call this what it is: Amendment 4 is a subsidy for solar users and crony capitalism for the solar industry. It also is a regressive tax that likely will help the better off at the expense of the less well off.

Both of these consequences, however, are overshadowed by and wrapped in the environmental activists’ purity goal of reducing consumers’ use of the most economical forms of energy — fossil fuels, in favor of the most uneconomical and expensive form of energy — solar. If the amendment passes, and there is indeed an explosion in the installation of solar panels on residential and commercial buildings all over Florida, city and county tax assessors would create a benefit (lower property taxes than they otherwise would be) for those who can afford solar panels. Those who can’t afford solar panels gradually would feel the shift of their property taxes going up so local governments can maintain their levels of tax collections and services. Why does Florida need to codify a measure that will forever favor one form of energy over another? Can you imagine a U.S. constitutional amendment giving a similar tax break? Clearly, this is part of the political agenda of climate activists, such as those at SACE. Indeed, they would not need to tilt laws in favor of solar panels and solar devices if solar energy were economically competitive. Here’s the reality about solar: It’s clean and renewable, yes. But … Writing last December in “Solar Carve Outs for the Sunshine State,” James Taylor, a senior fellow at the Tallahassee-based James Madison Institute, noted a 2014 Brookings Institution study that concluded: “Adding up the net energy cost of the five low-carbon alternatives, far and away the most expensive is solar. It costs almost 19 cents more per KWH than power from the coal or

Volusia deputies support Dave Brannon for sheriff

Persis is the right person for School Board District 4

Dear Editor: We are disappointed to learn of the Observer’s endorsement for sheriff. We would like your readers to know that the Volusia County Deputies Association has overwhelmingly endorsed Dave Brannon for Volusia County Sheriff. Dave has been with the Sheriff’s Office for 23 years and has a track record of servant leadership and success in crime fighting. His experience is unmatched by any other candidate for sheriff. This depth of experience is precisely why he has also earned the support of Volusia Firefighters, Deltona Firefighters and Volusia Teachers. Dave cares about the community he serves and has dedicated his life to public service. He is well-known for coordinating the Volusia Honor Air program that took over 1,000 World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., at no charge to the veterans, to see their war memorial. For this reason, Congressman John Mica is also supporting Dave Brannon’s candidacy. We urge the citizens of Volusia to join our deputies in supporting Dave Brannon for sheriff.

Dear Editor: I’ve noticed that a number of people who seek to promote one of the two candidates for the Volusia County School Board District 4 are misrepresenting his opponent. The fact is that Carl Persis is a career educator, not a career politician. One writer oddly refers to servicemen and women with the respect they deserve, without taking note that they, as do career educators, receive hard-earned pensions. Carl is a family man and a proud American. He and his wife are very involved with their two grandchildren and numerous nonprofits. Carl Persis spent his entire career in education. His fulltime employment for 37 years was as a teacher, assistant principal, and principal at the elementary and secondary school levels. As principal, his schools achieved an annual “A” grade 10 times. Built upon decades of leadership, Carl Persis is well respected for his successes and tireless efforts for students, families, and teachers. Unquestionably, my vote in the Volusia County School Board District 4 nonpartisan election will be cast for Carl Persis.

gas plants that it displaces … To place these additional costs in context, the average cost of electricity to consumers in 2012 was 9.84 cents per KWH, including the cost of transmission and distribution of electricity.” “As a result,” the Brookings Institution added, “a new solar plant [would cost] at least 200% more [i.e., triple the cost] than using coal and gas technologies.” Let’s also keep in mind how much solar energy is subsidized already. In addition to the property-tax exemption already given to residential solar devices in Florida, solar power equipment is exempted from sales taxes. And state power utilities and municipalities also offer solar power rebates and incentive programs. Nationwide, according to Taylor, the solar power industry in 2013 received $5.3 billion in subsidies compared to $5.1 billion in subsidies for the coal, natural gas, nuclear and oil industries combined. What does that tell you? To be sure, every Floridian, for that matter, every American, embraces the idea of harnessing the sun’s power for energy. But at what price and at whose expense? While Amendment 4 reads and sounds like environmental Motherhood and Apple Pie, this measure is yet another attempt by political activists to cement forever in the Florida Constitution a special benefit, to pick an energy winner over an energy loser. Solar energy, like fossil fuels, should stand on its own merit. Amendment 4 should not be in the Florida Constitution. We recommend: No.

Local ties matter in Congress Dear Editor: The election guide and endorsements published by the Observer are very informative and no doubt much appreciated by the citizens of Ormond Beach. How surprising and disappointing it was to read the opinion of the Observer that a candidate’s local ties are of lesser importance for positions on the federal level, an idea that is nonsensical at best. The individuals that we elect to represent us in Washington, D.C., should be intimately familiar with their proposed constituency, with the kind of vested personal interest that comes from strong local ties and genuine membership in the community. That is perhaps the difference between electing a true representative versus just another politician. STEVEN LICHLITER Ormond Beach

We are merely stepping stones for DeSantis Dear Editor: The Observer endorses DeSantis and dismisses candidates with local ties. I strongly disagree. DeSantis has repeatedly voted against local interests to create a bulletproof voting record so he

If we are hit, how will the many congressmen in districts hit by Sandy vote regarding relief for us? He voted in favor of expanding offshore drilling. Oil fouling our beaches would be a disaster for our environment and economy. Given his voting record, He would vote against a bill that increased spending, but would improve our local economy. A congressman is called “our representative.” His first priority should be to represent the interests of his district (John Mica is a good example). Ron DeSantis’ first priority is to promote the interests and ambitions of Ron DeSantis. Clearly we are just stepping stones for him to move on up the next time an opportunity comes his way. His run for the senate seat made this obvious. Stepping stones get stepped on so someone can get to where they want to go. Don’t get stepped on!

TRICKY TRADE 5:15 p.m. — 100 Block of South Beach Street Theft. The victim says she regularly sells items on a website, and she was contacted via Facebook about a watch she had listed for sale on the site. She agreed to meet the suspect at Ames Park on South Beach Street to make the exchange. At the park, the victim said the watch would cost $30, and the suspect said she only had a $50 bill. The victim agreed to go get change at a store because the suspect did not have a car. She left to get change while the suspect stayed at the park with the watch. When the victim attempted to get change at a store, the clerk told her the $50 bill was fraudulent. The victim returned to the park and found that the suspect was gone. A person sitting on a bench told her that as soon as she left, the suspect took off running north on Beach Street. The officer was able to identify the suspect through her Facebook page. He issued charges of theft and passing a fraudulent bill.

OFF-ROAD DRIVING 10:57 a.m. — First Block of South Atlantic Avenue. Driving Under Influence. A witness called Central Dispatch and said he was behind a car on Ocean Shore Boulevard heading south, and the car had driven off the roadway, into the grass and dirt, and then back on. He said the car “looked like a moving bush” because of the amount of tree and bush debris on it. Information came in from dispatch that the car may have been involved in a hit-and-run in Flagler County. Later, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office reported he had only run off the road into a dune. The car was pulled over by Ormond Beach police. The officer noted that two very large branches from a bush had become lodged into the passenger door frame. There was also dirt and grass lodged under the passenger-side rear tire area. There were scratches and dings all along the side of the car. The officer remembered the suspect from another incident in which he was found to be taking high doses of controlled substances. He was arrested and charged with DUI.

SPORTS Welcome back, prep sports

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

Prep sports give students a love for school they tend to lose in elementary.

Sandcrabs disappointed in early tester The Seabreeze Sandcrabs fall to the St. Augustine Yellow Jackets 41-0 on Friday, Aug. 19, in St. Augustine.

Coach Troy Coke Above: Breonn StaufferMcCormick reels in a pass from Brevin Glaze. Left: Brody Loynd

Jalen Miranda breaks a tackle to pick up an early first down for the Sandcrabs.

y the time students pass on to middle school, they begin to loathe getting up early in the morning to go to school. But, when those students either participate in sports or have rooting interests, those alarms can’t sound off any faster. “I get excited to go to school, knowing we have a football game that night or practice that day,” said Seabreeze cheerleader Isabella Saucedo. “Also, sports brings you together with a lot of people, which obviously makes school more enjoyable.” A lot of students may never watch football, basketball or bowling, but I’ve seen many of these uninterested-in-sports teens at these events cheering because their school was involved, and/or their friends were competing. Last year, Matanzas Athletics Director Rich Weber spoke about changing his school’s culture with sports, because he believed that competing in sports increased the students’ participation in school activities. Today, and throughout this week, Matanzas High School will be filled with school spirit for the upcoming big game. Because the players care so much, school administrators have linked participation with academic performance. Those who fail to maintain a respectable GPA will not be able to perform. This has caused many athletes to hone in on even their most hated subjects for the sake of game day. Some students actually look forward to the school year, simply so they can play and watch sports. Student-athletes get coaches who motivate them to reach their full potential, and athletes discover certain aspects of learning they enjoy so well, they decide to pursue further in higher learning. “It makes a big difference, playing for a team,” said Flagler Palm Coast football player Ryan Dean. “It helps school go along a lot better.” So yeah, welcome back, Sports. We’ve missed you!

WHO WILL WIN ON FRIDAY? Hey there, football fans. This year, I’ll be making predictions, just for fun. Do you agree with my winners and the scores? Share your thoughts and follow on Twitter @PCOsports or leave a comment on our Facebook page.

Mainland vs. DeLand Mainland wins 45-17. Coming off an impressive kickoff classic win, Mainland will start stacking its win column this week against rival DeLand. Although the Bulldogs will compete for a quarter or two, Denzel Houston and company will prove to be too much.

Flagler Palm Coast vs. Matanzas FPC wins 24-17. I know why this was chosen as the Bright House Network Game of the Week. This game is expected to break last year’s attendance record. Matanzas made the rivalry interesting last season, winning its first contest in the series. This was, by far, the hardest game to pick this week, but I believe FPC will avenge its loss from last season and beat the Pirates at the ship in a thriller. The Bulldogs played with mostly underclassmen last season and kept the game close. Byrd will have a bigger game this time around.

Seabreeze vs. Spruce Creek Spruce Creek wins 31-3. The Sandcrabs have little fire power on offense and little defensive talent to keep it close with the Hawks. This should be an easy win for Spruce Creek, who won an impressive kickoff classic against Class 8A semifinalist Lake Brantley.

Father Lopez vs. Melbourne Central Catholic

MCC wins 45-14. Father Lopez has lost big to Melbourne in each of their last three bouts. This game will go about the same. — JEFF DAWSEY

Scotty Greene led all scorers with a 38.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY MARKS 40 YEARS WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

Is history a thing of the past? Apparently not, judging by the large crowd that packed the Anderson-Price Memorial Building on Aug. 19 for the 40th birthday celebration of the Ormond Beach Historical Society. History is very much alive and important to many people. “If you don’t know where you’ve been, you don’t know where you’re going,” said Bob Coleman, a society member. At the check-in table for the event was Becky Hawk, who said she’s learned a lot by attending the lectures about Florida and local history at the Anderson-Price Building, hosted by the society. Debby Bell said she had learned more about Ormond Beach in the three years she’s lived here than she learned in a lifetime in her home state. Kathy Dunlop, who was visiting and considering joining the society, said it was exciting to learn about the historic sites. “There’s so much to see and do,” she said. “Ormond Beach is rich in history.”

Historical Society President Pat Sample makes a toast with Lupe Burt who founded the organization in 1976.

DID YOU KNOW? The Ormond Beach Historical Society began when citizens got together to save The Casements.

“Ormond Beach is rich in history.”

A guest of honor at the event was Lupe Burt, one of the founders of the Historic Society in 1976. “It was founded in her kitchen,” said Sybil Greening, also a guest of honor, whose husband, William, was one of the early presidents. Burt said the organization got started in an effort the save The Casements, which had fallen into disrepair in the 1970s. There were some who wanted to raze the building and build a condominium. The group she formed worked with the city to obtain grants and raise money to restore the building, which now serves as the city’s cultural center. Burt now believes the city should create a plan for the important historic area that includes The Casements and the MacDonald House. “No other city has what we have,” she said. Another guest of honor was former state Senator Evelyn Lynn, who was also an Ormond Beach City Commissioner. She worked to save the cupola from the Ormond Hotel that now sits in Fortunato Park and many artifacts from the hotel. She also led Pennies for Preservation in 1996 for the MacDonald House. The society helped save the Ormond Indian Burial Mound, Pilgrim’s Rest Baptist Church, Anderson-Price Memorial Building, MacDonald House and Three Chimneys Sugar Mill Ruins. Visit ormondhistory.org.

Alfie’s Restaurant marks 30 years The restaurant owner is known for involvement with the community. WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

reg Evans, who has owned Alfie’s Restaurant and Lounge since 1986, said running a restaurant is not easy. In the early years, he decided to get involved in the community instead of worrying about making money. “And then I made money because of it,” he said at a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting on Aug. 18. Rick Fraser, executive director of the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, said it felt funny to have a ribbon cutting for someone who has been a member for 28 years, but the chamber wanted to recognize his 30th year in business, and the renovations that Greg and his wife, Dina, have done over the past year at the restaurant. “He’s been a dedicated member of the community and chamber for a long time,” Fraser said. On hand for the ribbon cutting was Mary Yochum, treasurer and past president of the OrmondBy-The-Sea Lions Club. “Greg does more for the community than anyone I know,” she said. She mentioned fundraisers, where he donates proceeds to charities, Christmas parties and his work with the Lions Club, local AARP, Knights of Columbus and other organizations. Evans has been in the restaurant

business since he was a teenager, moving down with his parents who opened an Alfie’s Restaurant in Flagler Beach in 1981. In 1986, when he was 24, they relocated to Ormond-by-the-Sea, and he has run that restaurant since. In 1988, a local resident named Dina came to work at the restaurant. In 1992, Greg and Dina were married. They now have three children and one grandchild. The Evanses closed for 10 days last Christmas to remodel the restaurant, redoing the floors, walls and ceiling. Dina Evans continues

to add remodeling touches when she gets an idea. Looking out the front windows of the restaurant, diners have a view of the ocean and the Al Weeks Sr. North Shore Park, which opened in 2010. “That park has been nothing but good for us,” Dina Evans said. People who park there often stop to eat. The Evanses were instrumental in getting it named for Al Weeks, a real estate agent who was active in the community and died in 2011. Along with others, they appeared

at County Council meetings to ask for the name to honor Weeks. Weeks, who was known for supporting the community, was known at the “unofficial mayor of Ormond-by-the-Sea.” “He was a champion for us,” Dina Evans said. Greg Evans said he believes businesses were slow to develop along State Road A1A because of a lack of a sewer system. But now that a sewer line has been installed, more business may come.

STAFF WRITER

Vaccinating all cats, even those that don’t go outside, is an important step in keeping them healthy.

ast week the Halifax Humane Society issued a warning about an unprecedented spike in confirmed positive tests for feline panleukopenia. Often referred to as feline distemper, panleukopenia is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease. The disease affects the lining of the intestinal track, causing anemic conditions and lowering the resistance to other viral and bacterial illnesses. My cat Samantha is an indoor cat, but she has been vaccinated because even cats that do not go outside and do not come into contact with other unknown cats can contract the illness when their humans track it in, unknowingly, on their clothing

There has been a spike in feline panleukopenia.

or shoes. The virus can remain in the environment for years, which is why when a shelter realizes they have taken in a cat with the disease, a deep clean is required. It is also the reason stray and dropped off cats with no vaccination record are put in a stray kennel, away from the general population and observed. “Knock on wood, we are OK,” Flagler Humane Society Director Amy Carotenuto said. “We are ever vigilant, and every animal that comes through our doors is vaccinated as soon as they come in.” On days when I am at any humane society or rescue, I leave my shoes in the garage and change my clothes as soon as I get home. Too protective? Maybe, but it’s worth it to me.

Spraying the bottom of your shoes with a bleach/water solution, or stepping into a shallow pan of the same solution, to wet just the soles of your shoes, will help prevent tracking the disease into your home. “To combat the spread of disease, Halifax Humane Society staff have been carefully evaluating the vaccination and medical history of every cat in their care, and remain confident all cats currently going out for adoption are protected against FPV,” HHS said in a press release. Before taking any pet into your home, whether you are adopting them, fostering, or cat sitting for a friend, please ask for a copy of their vaccination records.

For the first time, Macy’s is partnering with Halifax Humane Society and inviting customers to participate in the store’s 11th-annual national Shop For A Cause. The charity shopping event will take place Aug. 26-28. Formerly a one-day initiative, this year Macy’s has extended “Shop For A Cause” to a weekend event dedicated to supporting local nonprofit organizations’ fundraising efforts. Since 2006, the program has helped raise tens of millions of dollars for charities throughout the country, and more than 5,000 charities signed up to participate last year. Macy’s has provided Halifax Humane Society with shopping passes to sell for $5 each, and the organization will keep 100% of the proceeds for every shopping pass that it sells. By purchasing ashopping pass from Halifax Humane Society, customers support the animals of Volusia County and can enjoy spectacular discounts at Macy’s stores all weekend long.
