Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM recently held its 2014 RAM Gridiron Challenge at Seabreeze High School on Dec. 2. The Class of 2014 took on the Class of 2015 in an attempt to out-raise the other in the challenge. Eventually, the Class of 2015 took the lead and had more RAM truck test drives taken than the Class of 2014. In total, the challenge raised $5,500 for the school.

Deb Young and her granddaughter, Angel Young were staying at a shelter until an unexpected call Angel Young, 4, loves purple and sparkles. So much so, in fact, that she plans on decorating her new house with that scheme — if she can get her grandma on board first.

Though Deb Young might not agree with Angel’s interior design ideas, she’s just grateful they have a home to decorate. Deb Young was working part time at Winn-Dixie and kept

getting further and further behind on bills. Between that and having to care for her grandchildren, Angel Young and Derek Young, her struggle became even harder. “I’ve been taking

care of them since they were babies,” Young said. “Ninetyeight percent of their lives, they have been with me.” Eventually she had

LULU OF A PROBLEM By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Lulu’s owner says visitors can’t find his restaurant A 50-year-old oddity gives Ron DeFilippo the wrong address. Lulu’s Oceanside Grill is in an unusual predicament because of changes to the roadway made 50 years ago. Even though the official address of the popular eatery is South Atlantic Avenue, it is actually one block away on the corner of Coquina Court and Bovard Avenue. Owner Ron DeFilippo said his business depends on attracting visitors staying in the condos and hotels, but they have a very

hard time finding him, even when using GPS. “People call and ask where we are,” he said. Local people know where the restaurant is located, but many from out-of-town do not. He would like to have a sign on South Atlantic Avenue, but that’s prevented by the city’s Land Development Code. He said he’s been reaching out to city officials for two years in an attempt to

Identity theft and phony credit were used in local crimes. Scott Edwards, owner of Mower Depot, 290 Wilmette Ave., knew something wasn’t right when the four men walked in on Dec. 2. With their designer clothes, expensive watches and gold chains, they did not look like guys who had been mowing lawns. Also, the day before, Edwards had received a phone call from South Daytona Tractor and Mower, warning him that four Hispanic men came in and applied for credit. One of the names was flagged by the credit company as being used in three previous credit frauds. Sure enough, the men asked for a credit application. They went out to their car and truck to fill it out. By coincidence, a representative from Stihl Inc., who had been at South Daytona Tractor when the first attempt was made, was in the store working on an equipment display. Edwards asked him if that was the same four men, and he said yes. Edwards was surprised they would try the same thing the very next day after being rejected for credit. “I guess they got greedy,” he said. He said he could see the four getting away with the fraud at a large store, but not his, because they know their customers. Edwards called a detective he knows at the Ormond Beach Police Department and gave him the license numbers of the suspects’ truck and car. He said he was impressed by what happened next. Two motorcycle officers, several

Food Brings Hope, a local charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of hunger, poverty and homelessness among Volusia County School students, hosted its first fundraising event in October. The inaugural Pearls of Hope Gala was presented by Holland Financial and took place at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. “Pearls of Hope was the first FBH fundraising gala,” said FBH Founder and Chair Forough Hosseini. “Our goal was two-fold. We needed to raise money toward our mission of eradicating hunger among school children in Volusia County. But we also wanted to share our mission with the community-minded individuals in attendance so that they can become ambassadors of our cause and spread the word.” “It was special to be a part of this inaugural event, raising funds to continue this program, taking it from an idea to the final evening,” stated Leigh Anne Giles, event co-chair. “The committee

Trail Elementary recently competed in the First Lego League on Dec. 6. During the nationwide robotics competition, there are four categories; core values, technical design, project and robot matches. The Pine Trail Robotics Club, or Heroes of Tomorrow, earned a perfect score in the project category. Their project focused on teaching kids in the elementary primary grades the dangers of smoking, and they are currently designing an app that would help educate kids while they have fun. In addition, the club was one of only two teams selected to compete in the Regional Qualifying Tournament to be held in February. “We are especially proud of the fact our team, named HOT, is in its first year,” coach Steve Waterman said in an email. “We have been together only two months.”

POSSI-BULB-ITIES ARE ENDLESS By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Bright idea: Granada Bridge to be illuminated? At the City Commission’s final meeting of the year on Dec. 2, the officials awarded a work authorization to Zev Cohen and Assoc. Inc. to study the feasibility of an aesthetic lighting project for the Granada Bridge. The idea was suggested by the Ormond MainStreet Board. Commissioner Rick Boehm said he is “really looking forward” to the project. The firm will also do preliminary engineering and present lighting and cost options to the commission. The cost of the study is not to exceed $34,560. The project would require approval from the Florida Department of Transportation.

City OKs settlement in lawsuit

The City Commission also approved a settlement in the amount of $37,000 that was reached in mediation in November regarding a personal injury

PARTINGTON HONORED

LEAGUE OF CITIES

A study is being done on adding decorative lights to the Granada Bridge. claim. The matter was scheduled for trial the week of Dec. 15. At 9:25 p.m. on July 4, 2009, Shirley C. Gay, 65, was walking on Seville Street when she alleg-

edly tripped on a pothole and fell, sustaining multiple fractures to her left arm and wrist, which required surgery, according to the city attorney.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OK’D FOR SALONS

Also on Dec. 2, the officials voted to amend the Land Development Code to allow complimentary beer and wine to be served to customers at personal service businesses in some commercial and business zones. It was a first reading and a second reading will be required for approval. The decision was in response to a request from Tipsy Nails and Spa LLC, which is located in the Trails Shopping Center. The business only requested the change be made in their zone, but city staff determined that various regulations would be confusing. Hair salons and massage parlors would also be considered personal services. Mike Sharpton, attorney for Tipsy Nails, said salons often provide an alcoholic beverage. “The need is to put a law in the books for something we know is going on,” he said. Tipsy Nails also asked to be able to sell alcoholic beverages, but that was denied. Commissioner Troy Kent said he had displeasure with the name, “Tipsy Nails,” because it implied drinking. “But we have no say in that,” he said.

In other city related news, Deputy Mayor and City Commissioner Bill Partington was elected on Dec. 4 to serve as the Volusia League of Cities Partington president for 2015. The vote was held at the league’s bimonthly meeting. Partington was raised in Ormond Beach and earned his law degree from Loyola School of Law in New Orleans. He currently serves as an assistant public defender for Florida’s Seventh Judicial Circuit. He has worked as a private attorney, assistant public defender and assistant state attorney. Early in his career he served as a Florida Senate page for the late State Sen. Ed Dunn and was also an intern for the late U.S. Congressman Bill Chappell.

She incurred $21,419.22 in medical expenses, and there is a health insurance lien of $12,206.19. At the time of the incident, the sovereign immunity limited the city’s damages to $100,000 to any one person, which is the amount of damages Gay initially demanded. The issue regarding liability relates to whether or not the city knew or should have known about the pothole; whether or not the city maintained the roadway properly and whether or not Gay was comparatively at fault, according to the city attorney.

MRI question tabled

The City Commission was set to consider if a trailer housing an MRI would be allowed in a park-

ing lot on West Granada Boulevard, but the item was removed by the applicant, according to the city clerk.

Tomoka United Methodist: Breakfast with Santa

Little Montez Robinson took big bites of his pancakes. When asked if he liked them, the 1-year-old gave a slow nod of approval, with his mouth still full. Robinson was one of the many kids who attended Breakfast with Santa on Dec. 6, at Tomoka United Methodist Church, 1000 Old Tomoka Road. The event included breakfast, a snow globe craft, a live nativity scene, a telling of the story of Christmas and, of course, an appearance from Santa. The church also collected donations of canned goods to give to local organizations. “It’s my first year doing this event,” said Coordinator Barbara LaBanca. “It’s a really fun way to tell the kids the story of Christmas, and let them meet Santa.” Call 672-6722.

to take her family into the homeless shelter at Halifax Urban Ministries. “It’s a shelter, so it’s chaos and tension,” Young said. “But it’s a place that we needed, so you just learn to do what you have to do. It’s a great place for people to go, especially people with kids. Those are the most important people you want to get off the streets.” “We had this lady we had never met before, approach us,” said Rich Fitzmaurice, shelter manager HUM Family Shelter. “She let us know that she had bought a piece of property and completely gutted it. Everything is brand new in there, it is beautiful.” After spending two months in the shelter, the Young family found out that they were getting a real home. The people of Community Thrift Boutique and Watching Over You Inc., recently bought, renovated and furnished a home in Ormond Beach that they are letting the Young family live in bill-free for six months to a year. “It was a big surprise,” Young said. “It’s a gift.” “I’m a firm believer that it’s not about us, it’s about who comes after us,” Marie Sciacca-Max, CEO and founder of Community Thrift Boutique (located at 1464 Ocean Shore Blvd.) and Watching Over You. “It’s hard trying to make money, care for kids and pay for everything on minimum wage. How can they make it? They just can’t.” According to Sciacca-Max, the organization’s goal is to open up five more houses like the one the Youngs are currently in. It took them two years to finish their first home, and they’re hoping someone will donate the next house. “All the money that is raised at the store goes to the house,” Sciacca-Max said. “We pay for everything. The family’s only responsibility is to get on their feet and care for their children.” The Young family moved into the new home Nov. 22, just in time for the holiday season.

revise the code. He even went to a sign company and sent proposed designs to the City Commissioners. “They keep putting it on the back burner,” he said. “They keep saying they are going to do something, but it never gets anywhere.” DeFilippo was given the South Atlantic address when he built the building. The odd situation goes back in history to when a large hotel, the Coquina Inn, was at the corner of Granada Boulevard and State Road A1A. It was so large, that State Road A1A was diverted west around it. In 1968, the Coquina Inn was demolished, and State Road A1A was straightened. The old detour became Bovard Avenue, but apparently, the address for Lulu’s location was never changed. DeFilippo said people have suggested having his address changed, but he said it would be a “monumental” task. He would have to change all of his paperwork and website. “I’ve been here for years,” he said. “There’s an easy fix. Let me put up a sign.”

Debra Young and her two grandchildren were presented with the keys to the new home by Marie Sciacca-Max, CEO and founder of Community Thrift Boutique and Watching Over You Inc., Maureen Dalton, board member and dedicated volunteer, and David Max, vice president of maintenance operations.

“It would have been the first time in 40 years that I hadn’t cooked a dinner,” Deb Young said. “We were lucky to have a great Thanksgiving.” Deb Young now has a job working full time at Premier Care and Bathing, and Derek and Angel Young are enrolled at KidsCo. The next goal is to get a car. “The next part is to cut down on my travel time,” Young said. “Right now, I’m on the bus about three hours a day. I want to cut that down so the kids are with me more than they are at daycare.” Young also made a call to action for everyone to donate to Community Thrift and HUM this holiday season. Currently, the shelter is housing 21 families. “Everyone that is living there now, they are a paycheck away from homeless,” Fitzmaurice said. “They come to us because they have no place else to go.” “They’re doing great things there,” Young said. “They need donations and help to keep doing it.” — For more information, visit halifaxurbanministries.org.

City manager has special sign created

DeFilippo spoke at the City Commission meeting on Nov. 18, telling the officials he needed their help in solving the problem. Mayor Ed Kelley told him that City Manager Joyce Shanahan had spent several months working on a project to alleviate his problem. She had a way-finding sign installed at the corner of State Road A1A and Vining Court that says, “Restaurants, Shops and Parking.” But DeFilippo still wants a sign for his restaurant.

City to look at codes

Kelley said later in a phone interview that the problem could be discussed next year when the city looks at the Land Development Code. He thinks they may be able to change it in a way that would allow DeFilippo to have a sign, yet not give “carte blanche” to other businesses. He said Lulu’s is a unique situation. “You wouldn’t want a business half a mile down the road putting up a sign on the corner,” he said. Kelley said he wouldn’t want to look at the issue in a separate workshop because all the codes should be examined simultaneously.

Your Smile. Our Specialty.

Businessman says east side needs help

DeFilippo would like for the city to look at much more than the signage problem. He doesn’t think the city has put as much emphasis on creating a walkable, desirable district as they have on the west side of the Granada Bridge. He said visitors travel east over the bridge, and when they get to State Road A1A, they turn left and go to Flagler Beach or right and go to Daytona Beach. He would also like to see something done about closed or abandoned buildings. He said in Aspen, Colorado, if a business does not operate for a certain amount of time, it has to pay rent to the city.

FRAUD / FROM PAGE 1 squad cars and a couple of unmarked cars swarmed into the lot. “I didn’t expect all that,” he said. “I was impressed. They did a great job. They deserve a feather in their cap.” The suspect in the car tried to back out, but he was blocked by police cars. The police got the other men out of the truck and one of them tried to drop IDs down a storm drain. The officers handcuffed the men and found stacks of IDs with different names in their possession. The action was out of sight for employees in the store, because the men parked on the side. Edwards thinks they wanted to be away from the security cameras. The IDs had identities stolen from people in Florida, but had the suspects’ photos. Ormond Beach Police Cpl. Mike Pavelka said the four had an accomplice in Miami who worked at the Department of Motor Vehicles who would create the IDs for them. There were no IDs of Volusia County citizens. One of the suspects cooperated with the investigators, according to the arrest report. He said they drove up from Miami, bought items after receiving credit on phony IDs, and planned to sell the items back in Miami. He told police they could find stolen merchandise at a motel in Daytona Beach in a U-Haul truck. One suspect said they had obtained IDs through the Russian mafia. “I don’t know how much credence we’re going to give that,” Pavelka said. Ormond Beach police displayed the stolen items on Dec. 3 at headquarters. There were generators, watches, phones, cigarettes, power tools and refrigerators.

IDENTITY THEFT

YOU CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL

Ormond Beach Police Public Information Officer Keith Walker emphasized the need for people to shred all paper with account information. Ormond Beach Police Cpl. Mike Pavelka said to be sure and go through all mail, to make sure you’re not getting a bill for a credit card that was taken out in your name. He said to check statements for purchases that you didn’t make. You can check your credit history if suspicious. Pavelka also said some information used for ID thefts is obtained through social media and by stealing from mail boxes. He said companies in Europe have started using computer chips in credit cards, and fraud has gone down dramatically. “We’re just a little late getting on that bandwagon,” he said.

The fraud had been used successfully at Lowe’s Home Improvement in Ormond Beach, Home Depot in Daytona Beach and other stores in Central Florida. All of the suspects are from Cuba, and Pavelka said the U.S. Immigration Service is involved in the investigation. He said they have determined the group was part of a large, statewide organization. Arrested were Jorge Tejeda, Angel Rodriguez, an unknown “John Doe,” and Alexis Zaldivar. They are in jail with no bond, charged with fraud and possession of stolen property.

+ Mailbox thefts reported Police incident reports in early December show that several thefts from mailboxes have occurred throughout the city. The suspects alter the “amount” and the “payable to” lines and take the checks to banks. In some cases, the teller became suspicious and called the check owner, causing the suspect to leave the bank. There have been some cases of checks successfully cashed.

Mile and Tatjana Petreski, with Alex (8), and Anabella (3) admire the central Christmas tree at The Casements.

Continuing a tradition started by John D. Rockefeller, The Casements’ 36th-annual Christmas Gala began Dec. 5, with the lighting of a two-story Christmas tree and the arrival of Santa and Mrs. Claus. The exterior and interior of the Casements have been extensively decorated for the holiday season. Young children had a chance to meet Santa Claus to pass on Christmas wishes; Nicholas Grillot, 3, of New Smyrna Beach, asked for a toy train on Christmas morning. Adults toured the festive rooms and browsed a large selection of holiday gifts from local vendors. Keyboardist Bob Piejak entertained guests with holiday classics. Outside, sisters Judy and Dixie Mesick offered carriage rides, while their horses Austin and Neiman provided propulsion.

LETTERS EDITOR TO THE

+ Kudos to Ormond’s Economic Development Department Dear Editor: I would like to commend our Department of Economic Development for the successes they have achieved over the past two years in getting more quality businesses to move to our wonderful city. With each edition of the Ormond Beach Observer, we get more positive news! The improvement has been remarkable. There has been a concerted effort of cooperation not seen here in many years to help our wonderful town meet our fiscal obligations and increase job opportunities for our young people. As a homeowner, I want to thank our di-

rector of economic development, our mayor, our commissioners, our planning department officials and our planning board for a job well done. The health of this city depends on sound, well managed commercial and residential development. We must be willing to grow, and I’m confident we are in good hands to further this effort. Chuck Wadro Ormond Beach

+ Once again, Jews are an afterthought in holiday season Dear Editor: We Jews are used to being treated as afterthoughts around here during the

holiday season. But is it too much to expect Community Editor Emily Blackwood to do a tiny bit of research in her Hanukkah story in the Dec. 4 issue? The article begins by mentioning a Jewish family celebrating Hanukkah, two birthdays and an anniversary every year. This is impossible, since the holiday is based on the lunar Hebrew calendar and can fall anywhere from late November to late December. And the money, chocolate or otherwise, given to Jewish kids for the holiday is not “gilt.” It’s gelt: the Yiddish word for money. Perhaps, out of “gilt,” you’ll get it right next year.

WHALE OF A TALE By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Agency seeks volunteers to keep track of right whales The busy season is beginning for Joy Hampp, of Palm Coast, program coordinator for Marineland Right Whale Project. She is leading classes around the area, educating people about the whales seen off our coast during the winter and hoping to recruit volunteers to keep track of the endangered mammals. The project, headquartered in Marineland, is sponsored by the Associated Scientists of Woods Hole, a 501c3 organization in Massachusetts. Their job is to collect data on the right whales and support measures that protect the species. The whales arrive from the Cape Cod area each year to give birth near the FloridaGeorgia line and then winter off Northeast Florida where the water is warmer. “It’s a big area and very few whales,” Hampp said. “We need volunteers to help us find them and collect data.” There are seeking “opportunistic spotters,” who call the group whenever they see a whale, and “surveyors,” who travel in groups to selected places to keep watch. The surveyors go out for four hours, one day per week, for 10 weeks. “Then you can have lunch with the friends you just made,” Hampp said. About 25 people were in the meeting room at the Ormond Beach Regional Library on Dec. 6 to hear a presentation by Hampp and volunteer

FINDING A RIGHT WHALE

— To spot a right whale, Marineland Right Whale Project Program Coordinator Joy Hampp said to watch the ocean with unaided eyes, because the eyes are programmed to see objects or movements that are “out of order.” When you think you see a whale, use binoculars, she said. — When a whale blows, the mist hangs in the wind for a while, unlike the splash caused by a bird diving in the ocean. Also, the right whale has a V-shaped blow, visible on nonwindy days. — Right whales often float near the surface with 10% of their body showing, so they are usually seen as a black line with a white ruffle of surf. If the ocean is choppy with lots of white caps, it is very difficult to see them, Hampp said. — Another thing to watch for is a large group of dolphins, because they often accompany the whales. — One of the main characteristics of the right whale is that there is no dorsal fin, unlike the humpback. — There are also white spots on the head and a black fluke. Humpback whales have a fluke that is white on the bottom.

Becki Smith. Some were volunteers from previous years, and others had seen whales off the coast and wanted information about the project. The geography of the area is the reason for the local sightings, Hampp explained. The sea bottom drops off quickly, so the whales are close to shore, sometimes just outside the breakers. Hampp said that makes it possible to collect data about the mammals in an unobtrusive way. She said there are about 500 right whales in existence, and only about 50 to 70 come down to Florida. They don’t know where the rest go. “The ocean still has its mysteries,” she said.

The whales are mostly endangered by being hit by large ships, 65 feet or larger, but can also be seriously injured and killed by small boats. “There are laws in place,” Hampp said. “You must be 500 yards away. Even if a whale comes to you, you are required to move away at idle speed.” She said the law also applies to surfers and paddle boarders. Another reason is safety, because the mother will protect the calf. The surveys begin Jan. 4. For more about being a surveyor or dedicated volunteer, call 904-461-4058 or visit aswh. org. To be an opportunistic volunteer, call 888-979-4253 or register at mrcirl.org.

POLICE

Dec. 1

Mysterious theft 12:23 p.m. — 700 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Theft. The victim said she used her debit card at 9 a.m. at a drug store and then went back to work at a nearby office building. At about 2 p.m. the same day, she went to a restaurant to eat lunch. At that time, she noticed her debit card and driver’s license were missing. She called the drug store, and they did not have the cards. Other cards were still in her wallet. At some point, someone had removed the wallet from her purse, took out cards and then put the wallet back. Other credit cards and a store credit card were also missing.

‘Thanks’ for the meds 10:22 a.m. — 900 Old Mill Run. Theft. The victim said medication used by her and her children was stolen. She said they had friends and family over for Thanksgiving and she believes the theft occurred at that time. She said she now has a safe for her medication. The medicine included clonidine and Vyvanse. The doctor said he needed a police report to replace the medication.

None of the neighbors saw or heard anything. Two residents also had their car burglarized about that same time.

Dec. 3

Drug dog at work 11:42 p.m. — Arroyo Parkway and South Nova Road. Possession of Cannabis and narchotic paraphernalia. The officer saw a BMW driving at night with an inoperable headlight. The officer made a traffic stop, and, as he was approaching the car, he saw a backseat passenger making

quick, furtive movements as if trying to hide something under the seat. The officers removed the backseat passenger from the vehicle because of his suspicious movements. The officer deployed his K-9 partner, Kane, for a drug sniff. As Kane reached the passenger side, he began to breathe more intensely as he started to work a scent from the window. He placed both paws on the window sill and stuck his head through the window. His body stiffened, and he lowered his body to sit to show a

final indication. Since his paws were on the window, he was not able to sit, but the officer understood it was an alert. As the officer began to pat down the backseat passenger to check for weapons, prior to a drug search of the vehicle, the passenger showed extreme nervousness and his legs were shaking. He told the officer he had some weed in his pocket and removed a plastic bag with cannabis. The officer also found cannabis inside the vehicle. The backseat passenger was arrested.

GAME TIME

Meet Kinsley, a 5-year-old who soars When Tiffany Hahn enrolled her daughter, Kinsley Hahn, into gymnastics at 2 years old, it was initially chosen as something fun for her to be involved in. Almost instantly, she noticed improvement in Kinsley Hahn’s sleeping habits and social skills. Within a year, her mother noticed a drive in her that she had not seen before. Soon, Kinsley JEFF Hahn no longer DAWSEY went to the gym just to have fun; she strived to do her best and was always excited about learning new skills. Kinsley dedicated herself to the sport. Kinsley joined the competitive gymnastics team, Sky High of Ormond Beach, becoming the team’s youngest competitor at the gym, as well as one of the youngest in the state to compete in a U.S. Gymnastics-sanctioned event. At the time, Tiffany Hahn hoped Kinsley could simply get in front of the crowd and compete without shying away, not even focusing on scores. She considered breaking through Kinsley’s shy character would be a success in itself. After a while, Hahn’s goal was to reach a 9.00 in any event. This season, she exceeded it by scoring a 9.00 or higher seven times, which is a huge accomplishment for a 5-year-old. One of Kinsley’s greatest accomplishments thus far has been placing seventh in the Florida Level 1 & 2 State Championship on Saturday, Nov. 22, in Fort Myers. Since Kinsley joined Sky High, Tiffany Hahn has appreciated the older girls on the team. “As a parent there is nothing sweeter than looking over during an awards ceremony at a competition and seeing your daughter propped up on the lap of one of her older teammates, with their arms wrapped around her giggling, waiting to cheer her on, when they hear her name called,” Tiffany Hahn said. “It’s a sweet vision, and I am truly grateful for the relationships that she’s developed and the wonderful friendships that she’s made.”

Mainland looks forward to next year Although Mainland wasn’t able to make it to the championship this year, the Buccaneers have enough returning players to make another big run.

bright future By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer

Terrion Tillmon tackles a Miami Central ball carrier while getting jumped over.

Mainland defeated 13 straight opponents before finally losing to the reigning 6A state champions, the Miami Central Rockets, in the semifinal playoff round. While the Bucs will be losing many key players to graduation, there’s still enough talent for Mainland to get back in the championship mix next season. It is said by many coaches that if a team has a good quarterback, there is always hope for a decent season. No quarterback in the area played as well as Mainland’s

sophomore, Denzel Houston. Houston led the Buccaneers to score at least 21 points, accounting for at least two touchdowns, in every game this season. From the beginning of the season to his last game, Houston displayed a playmaking ability that often turned nothing into something, mostly first downs and scoring plays. Houston leads a number of key players who will be returning for Mainland next year. Some of those include Kevin McCrary, Keevin Gillard, Randy Baker, Jachai Polite

and Adrian Killins, to name a few. Mainland has been knocking on the door to the championship for years now. They have come up short in the semifinals the last two years. They have made it to the playoffs for a number of consecutive years, but the Bucs have yet to reach the Promised Land. Having a dual-threat, talented, now experienced, quarterback in Houston for the next two seasons may give them the push that they’ve been missing up to this point.

Adrian Killins runs for a 69-yard gain in the first quarter of Mainland’s game against Miami Central on Friday, Dec. 5.

MAINLAND’S HOME WINNING STREAK AND SEASON COME TO END Mainland’s hopes of a state championship berth came to a halt, when the Buccaneers (13-1) lost to reigning 6A state champs, the Miami Central Rockets (12-1) Friday, Dec. 5, at Municipal Stadium, the place where Mainland hasn’t lost since 2010. The Rockets got on the board first with a field goal, and then Mainland responded with two touchdown passes from Denzel Houston to Randy Baker for three yards and Wilfred Taylor for 15. Central ran in an 18-yard score on

the ensuing drive to cut into Mainland’s 14-10 lead, and on Mainland’s next drive, one of Houston’s passes was tipped and intercepted, which led to another Miami Central touchdown to give the Rockets the lead for good. Mainland failed at a field goal attempt in the third quarter that would have tied the game up, and A.J. Westbrook intercepted a Rockets pass to give Mainland the ball back near midfield, but the offense couldn’t generate any points. With 8:20 to play in the game, Miami Central scored on a 41-yard run to go up 24-14. Houston and the Buccaneers continued to fight, scoring on a 32-yard

quarterback keep to close the gap 24-21 with 5:49 left in the game. After a big kick return, Miami Central had the ball on Mainland’s goal line on a fourth down. The Rockets were flagged on the play, which set them back to the six, although Mainland’s coaches thought the runner didn’t get in the end zone, which should have called for a turnover on downs. Miami Central decided to go for the fourth-and-six, and Mainland was flagged for pass interference. Miami Central eventually scored on a run to go up 31-21, which ended the Buccaneers season for the second consecutive season in the semifinal round.

rivalry By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer

Lady Sandcrabs fall to Pirates in soccer match After a scoreless first half, Seabreeze allowed two goals. The Seabreeze Lady Sandcrabs fell to the Matanzas Pirates 2-0 on Monday, Dec. 8, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. The Sandcrabs kept Miracle Porter and the Pirates away from the net for 40 minutes, and then just three minutes into the second half, Porter shook off a defender and got around the goalkeeper for the first goal of the night. Baily Pickering was credited with the assist on the goal. With 20 minutes left in the match, Leanna Ballschmiecher found Porter running down the middle of the field for a second score to put the match out of reach.

“I feel it’s somewhat hard to defend her (Porter), as she is definitely a skilled player, but we held her down until our marker got hurt,” said Kim Merkel, Seabreeze’s coach. “She only scored when our main marker was out. I feel if (our marker) could have stayed healthy during the game, we would have held her fine.” When asked about her team’s offense, Merkel added, “Unfortunately, they had all the right ideas but just didn’t put away their chances. We should have had four goals tonight, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.”

M

enopause. It’s one of those taboo topics that gets pushed under the rug. The silent passage. But over the past decade and a half, the change of life has become something woman can laugh about, and there’s no doubt that the Broadway hit, “Menopause: The Musical,” had a lot to do with women’s newfound celebration of the change. “I affectionately dubbed it, ‘the little show that could,’” said Producer Kathi Glist. Out of the 10-20 scripts per a week that hit the desks of executives, this one was an unlikely winner. “Here we have this author who has never written anything before and was living the experience of a woman miffed with menopause. She was with friends drinking wine and started singing parodies of songs she grew up with, and it caught on.” Writer Jeanie Linders took the silent passage and turned it into a mini movement. “What I discovered is women just didn’t want to admit that they’ve come to this juncture in their life,” said Glist, who has been producing the show for 12 years. “I’ve been with the show now almost as long as it’s been around, and I love to see women and men walk into the theater carrying the burdens of the day or life on their shoulders and then seeing them leave, dancing out. The show becomes a vehicle to continue the conversation about what women are going through.” The show zooms in on the lives off four women at a lingerie sale with nothing in common but a black lace bra and memory loss, hot flashes, night sweats, not enough sex, too much sex and other classic menopause symptoms. The musical parody is set to classic tunes from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s where “Staying Alive” becomes “Staying Awake,” and “My Guy” becomes “My Thighs.” Glist pointed out that the show does not make fun of menopause, but instead pokes fun so the audience can laugh to-

gether at the symptoms. “It is pure entertainment, toe-tapping tunes, but then it’s a little enlightening, as well,” Glist said. “About halfway through the show, it becomes very empowering.” Glist said that there’s something magical that happens and a relatability in the show that allows the audience to say, “That’s me,” and by the end, they have become the fifth girlfriend. And although women take ownership of the play, men are encouraged to join the audience to learn something about the women in their lives. Glist once heard a man while leaving a show say that it should be a mandatory workshop for all men.

Giving back to women

From the early stages of the show, the cast and crew have felt a strong pull to give back to women. Over the years, the show has donated $1 million to the Ovarian Cancer Alliance, and, more recently, in an effort to “share the wealth,” has gone pink with a partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. When the tour makes its stop at the Flagler Auditorium in January, the donations will be staying a little closer to home, with $5 of every ticket sale going to the Florida Hospital’s Pink Army. “When we can give back right to the community we are performing in, it is a great goal,” Glist said. The staff at the Flagler Auditorium is excited to have the show return for a second year and to support the Pink Army. Glist said that the shift to supporting

breast cancer also hits home with the cast of the show. Cast member Megan Cavanagh, who is known for her role as Marla Hooch in the 1993 film “A League of Their Own,” discovered she had breast cancer while touring. She recently rejoined the cast and Glist said the donations are honoring her and other cast members and women throughout the world, who want to make a difference in something that affects so many. In the fall of 2015, the “Menopause: The Musical” tour will take it a step further with a cast made solely of breast cancer survivors with proceeds being donated back to Susan G. Komen. “That’s what sets our show apart; it is that connection to the audience,” Glist said. “Menopause: The Musical” will take the stage at the Flagler Auditorium for two shows Jan. 10. The cast includes Herie Price as the Soap Star, Annette Houlihan Verdolino as the Iowa Housewife, Ingrid Cole as Earth Mother and Linda Boston as the Professional Woman.

IF YOU GO What: “Meonpause: The Musical” When: 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10 Where: Flagler Auditorium, 5500 State Road 100, Palm Coast Tickets: $39. Call 437-7547. Mention the Pink Army and a $5 donation will be made for every pink ticket sold.
