OUR TOWN + Poker tournament benefits B’Nai Torah Seven hundred poker players, enthusiasts and celebrities gathered at the Daytona Beach Kennel Club and Poker Room April 27 for the 6th-annual Deepstack Charity Classic. Proceeds from the event benefited the Ormond Beach’s Congregation B’Nai Torah and its community efforts. Famous stars included poker legend Phil Hellmuth, poker superstar Greg Merson, ESPN announcer Norman Chad and “First Family of Poker” Barry and Allyn Jaffrey Shulman. Due to the celebrities attending, the event was sold out for the fifth year in a row.

Though the vehicle took a hard blow on its left side, Barbosa drove on. “It was a really hard race,” Barbosa said. “The last lap was really tough, but we managed to keep fourth place.”
+ Osceola students celebrate at DIS Five hundred local students, including a few from Osceola Elementary, from Food Brings Hope’s Kid Zone and Teen Zone after school programs, celebrated May 1 at the Daytona International Speedway. James Banks and Samantha Jennings, from Osceola Elementary, won Citizenship Awards. Students involved in the program, which programs provides meals, tutoring and enrichment activities for disadvantaged Volusia County School students, were treated to tours, dinner and entertainment. “This is always our favorite event of the year,” said Forough Hosseini, founder and chairwoman of FBH.

City reports progress Music The city manager presented a quarterly status report on the city’s 2014 goals to the City Commission at the May 6 meeting at City Hall. The goals had been set by the commissioners at a workshop on Feb. 4. One of the fiscal policy goals is pension reform, because investments are not providing enough money to fund future retiree pensions. The city made contract offers, with revised pension benefits, to the police and fire unions and City Manager Joyce Shanahan said they “just received positive votes” from both unions. Next, the contracts will be brought to the City Commission. The city is still awaiting a vote by the general employees union on a contract offer. In the community development category, the commissioners want to develop a Joint Planning Agreement with the county regarding U.S. 1 between Granada Boulevard and Interstate 95. Some land along this corridor is in the county and some is in the city, and the city wants to be able to apply its own codes to the entire stretch. City staff has been working with county staff to finalize an agreement, which will go to the city planning board and then the City Commission in June. “Two years of hard work are starting to pay off,” Shanahan said. “The city attorney’s office has done an awesome job.”

Riptides will feature outdoor entertainment.
Continuum is currently represented by a committee in the Coalition. Hamilton’s plan remains in place even after all of the heated discussion and disagreements at the meeting. The most vocal opponent, Shannon McLeish, of Ormond Beach, a member of the Continuum, does not believe the Coalition has the right to be in charge of the process in electing the new Continuum board, saying the current process lacks
Another restaurant on the beachside has just received approval from the city to have outdoor music. Riptides Raw Bar and Grill, 869 S. Atlantic Ave., received a special exception at the May 6 City Commission meeting. Last October, Dimitri’s Bar Deck and Grill, 790 S. Atlantic Ave., received a special exception to have outdoor music, even though some nearby residents protested. The commission gave approval in a 3-1 vote, with one commissioner absent. The exception included a condition that if there were two noise violations in a 12-month period, the exception will be revoked. Approval for Dimitri’s was recommended by the Ormond Beach Planning Department, which had conducted tests at the restaurant by reading decibel levels as music was played. The Planning Department also conducted decibel readings at Riptides while music was being played. “We did a noise assessment test,” Planning Director Richard Goss told the commissioners. “We took readings at the boundary lines. We had no issue with decibel levels for a two-person group.” Prior to the City Commission meeting, the Planning Board recommended the restaurant for a special exception, with the following conditions: The exception will be revoked if there are two violations in a 12-month period (the restaurant will have a hearing before a special magistrate before revocation); there can be no more than two live performers; no outside karaoke is allowed; and the speakers must face the building. Music will be allowed from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday. The approval document stated that the Planning Board desired to maintain consistency with the hours of allowed music that was approved for Dimitri’s. “We want to make sure all the outdoor places have the same hours,” Goss said.

FUNDING FEUD By Wayne Grant | Staff Writer
Homeless agencies spar A board of directors will be elected this summer. Controversy continues to rock local homeless agencies struggling to abide by new federal rules, as a contentious meeting of the Continuum of Care was held May 12, at Daytona State College. Lisa Hamilton, executive director of the Volusia/Flagler Coalition for the Homeless, has charted a course for the Continuum of Care to elect a Board of Directors to meet Housing and Urban Development requirements. The new rules, which
take affect this fall, call for the Continuum of Care to control HUD funding. The Coalition for the Homeless is a nonprofit agency founded in 2000 to coordinate the various homeless assistance agencies in the community. The Continuum of Care refers to all the stakeholders affected by homelessness, including county and city government, police, schools, universities, veterans, the homeless, hospitals and faith-based organizations.

+ Ormond Beach graduates speak at Daytona State College ceremony Out of the 3,100 students graduating from Daytona State College this year, two Ormond Beach residents were chosen to give commencement speeches at the ceremony May 13. Sarah Cushing, 23, has been excelling in community outreach and pursuing a career in hospitality since she graduated from Seabreeze High School. Cushing’s involvement with her city includes everything from beach cleanups, sea turtle protection projects and the rebuilding of Rainbow Park. Graduating with her Associate of Applied Sciences degree in hospitality and her AA degree, Cushing will complete her Bachelor of Applied Science in supervision and management this summer. Her goal is to one day own a bed and breakfast hotel. “Even a simple idea,” Cushing said, “can lead to something big.” Kieran Carnegie, 31, was interested in

Sarah Cushing met with Daytona State President Dr. Carol Eaton at the ceremony. pursing a career in chemical engineering back in 2001. But life got in the way, and he didn’t go to a major university as he had planned. Now he’s finally getting his chance. Graduating DSC with his AA degree in math, Carnegie will continue his education at the University of North Florida this summer. He’s excited for all the career opportunities his major will open up to him. “If you think about it,” Carnegie said, “math is involved in so many careers, from engineering to business and education.

explorers club By Emily Blackwood | Staff Writer
Club helps Great Kids get on right track With growing opportunities to help struggling kids, the Great Kids Explorer Club is seeking more financial support. Oscar is a second-grader with parents who speak mostly Spanish. The language barrier caused him to goof off in class and quickly fall behind. Through the help of the Great Kids Explorers Club, though, Oscar went from failing every subject to getting on grade level in all subjects. Success stories like Oscar’s are the norm for the students who go through the Great Kids program, an early intervention program targeting at-risk students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Since 2001, the nonprofit has partnered with local schools, churches and civic organizations to bring the free after-school
program to kids who need it the most. Participants are selected by the schools. “We find that many children don’t do well in school because they didn’t enter with the skills needed,� Executive Director Sandy Rakes said. “As early as kindergarten and first grade, they can have challenges because they lose interest and give up.� Like the struggle of most nonprofits, money is always an issue for this organization. Currently, they have five locations, four of which are in local churches and cost nothing. They currently are only able to pay for one location in Ormond Beach.
The lack of funds makes for a lack of space and time to allow more kids into the program. “We can’t do galas,� Rakes said. “We don’t have that kind of money. We don’t have those kind of connections. We’re not United Way. We’re not the Frances, and we understand that. We’re just a group of ordinary people that come together to do extraordinary things for the kids.� One of their biggest fundraisers is taking place May 18, at Pirates Adventure Golf in Daytona Beach. The Great Kids Annual Spring Mini-Golf Fun Day typically raises $10,000 for the organization.
“We really need to expand our supporters,� Rakes said. “We need to expand this next school year and we need to raise $30,000-$50,000 above our budget to do that. If we had the financial backing, we could open up two to three programs every year.� Rakes said the organization has plenty of interested partners and only needs to raise the necessary funds.. “I am so wanting to go forward,� Rakes said. “We just need more people out there to know about us.� Email Emily Blackwood at emily@ormondbeachobserver.com.

Fire trucks, Coast Guard boats, police motorcycles and much more were there for the exploring, with the help of the officers who operate them. “We get a chance to interact with the public,� said Officer Lloyd Cornelius, who runs the Outreach Division of the Ormond Beach Police Department. “They can ask questions about what we do and why we do it.� In addition to fire and police departments, also represented were the Civil Air Patrol, EVAC, Florida Hospital and Volusia County Beach Patrol, among others. Free bicycle helmets and car seat checks were provided. There was a monster sand pile, face painting, music and hot dogs.

The report mentions the success with helping companies relocate to the city or build new facilities, including Duvasawko, Emergency Communications Network and S.R. Perrott. The report states that another economic development incentive application will be presented to the commission in the next several weeks. In the quality of life area, the report points to the opening of the Milsap beach approach, adjacent to Andy Romano Beachfront Park. Also, a new event is planned for 2015 that will showcase the Loop. Current plans call for a tour of historic and scenic sites. After the success of last year’s fishing event, two have been added. There will be a tournament on Sept. 6 at the pier at Cassen Park, and two next year with one being on the beach and the other in Central Park. One of the community goals is to maintain a list of properties that are not being maintained. City staff is currently developing a list of chronic offenders, both homes that are in foreclosure and those that are not. Also, the commission asked that staff address property maintenance standards for commercial and residential properties. A complete list of goals and their status can be found in the agenda packet for the May 6 city commission meeting by visiting ormondbeach.org. Email Wayne Grant at wayne@ormondbeachobserver.com.

the Coalition for the Homeless, answered that they were not under the Sunshine Law and minutes were not currently taken. She said minutes would be taken after the new board is elected. A person from the audience asked if efforts have been made to invite members of the community to join the Continuum of Care, and Campbell said they have been reaching out to the community for two years. McLeish started to read from a document that explained how a Continuum of Care board was formed in another county, where representatives were picked by a city commission, county commission, housing authority, veterans, etc., as well as elections. When interrupted by Campbell, McLeish said, “You’re being disrespectful and rude. You’re not allowing me to speak.” She was told her document would be placed online for all to read. As back-and-forth arguing continued, the audience started to chant, “Move forward, move forward.” A member of the audience encouraged the group to proceed with the plans. “We need to select a management team,” he said. “Then we can say if we like what they do. We’ve screwed around for two years, and now we’ve got two months. We’ve got to get moving or we’re going to have meeting after meeting, and I’m sick of it.” Patrick Wigmore, a consultant who has been assisting the Coalition with the process, agreed that things should start moving. He said other communities were much further along in developing a structure to satisfy the new HUD directives. He said the process being followed is “legitimate and valid.” Despite the disagreements, the process will move forward, with the schedule set by the Coalition. Public comment is allowed May 12-19. Ballots will be sent to Continuum of Care members and the elected board members will be announced on June 27. After the meeting, McLeish said she may take a step back and let groups who think they are being left out of the process step forward.

Swapna Singireddy remembers all the signs of high intelligence in her son, Suraj Singireddy, as he was growing up. Those signs of intelligence now decorate the walls of his room. “He was at Temple Beth-El and his teacher said she wanted to take him to the principal,” Swapna Singireddy said. “I thought, ‘Oh, my, I hope he’s not in trouble.’ So we go there and she just picked up a flyer, told him to read and he read it clearly. He was only 3-and-a-half at that time.” By the time he was 4, he was reading the newspaper, correctly spelling the days of the week and doing multiplication in his head. When he turned 6, his IQ was tested to be 155, the highest level being 160. Now 13, Suraj Singireddy is taking college-level classes at Spruce Creek High School and was recently accepted into Mensa International, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Suraj skipped eighth grade and is now a sophomore in the school’s International Baccalaureate Program. Though he is one of the smartest kids there, Suraj said he’s had no trouble fitting in without being labeled as “the tutor.” “I haven’t had a huge issue as far as socially,” Suraj said. “The IB kids are smart, too.

Museum hosts Seabreeze art I was lucky enough to attend a reception on May 9 for the current exhibit at Ormond Memorial Art Museum that runs every two years. It’s not a showing of art by some established artist, or a new breakout star, but I’m told it’s popular WAYNE with both GRANT local residents and visitors alike. It’s a display of art created by Seabreeze High School students for the annual Tradewinds Art Show. The show will run through May 29 at the museum, and Director Susan Richmond said visitors from out of town who just happen to stop by enjoy the exhibit. “I had a couple from England who said they were so glad they stopped,” she said. “People are consistently impressed by the quality of the work.” Touring the art, I could see the reason for the success of the show. You can see the thought and energy put into the effort. It’s interesting to see what’s on the minds of young people these days. The Tradewinds Art Show, a tradition at Seabreeze High School for more than 40 years, is a juried competition, judged by professional artists. After the show at the school, the works are displayed at the museum every other year. Lisa Botkin, one of the art teachers at Seabreeze, said it’s a popular tradition. “The entire school goes to the auditorium to see the art,” she said. Botkin said it’s good for the students to prepare for a juried competition, because they pay attention to the elements of style and principles of design. On the other hand, she doesn’t want them to be concerned about not winning or getting an honorable mention. “I tell them Van Gogh never sold a painting in his lifetime,” she said. “If you don’t win, that doesn’t mean your art doesn’t have merit. The same art might

Seabreeze students Jordan O’Dwyer, Kelli Roderus and Kelly Vickers attended the show. win another competition.” The other art teacher at Seabreeze, John Richmond, said it’s good for students to get rated by an independent judge. “They get an unbiased opinion from an objective observer,” he said. Best of Show winner Yong Zheng, an 11th-grader at Seabreeze, said she plans to have a career in art but hasn’t decided on whether she wants to create studio art or graphic design. She finds art to be very relaxing. “When I paint, my mind goes blank,” she said. “I don’t have to think about things. It’s a stress releaser.” First-place winner Cat Baker, a senior, only practices art as a hobby, and was surprised when she won. “I forgot they had awards,” she said. “I just entered because I enjoy it.” She said she has always enjoyed art, and finds it a good way to express herself, but plans on being a forensic pathologist. Alexis Rovegno, a senior, won second place for her ceramic piece. “It was inspired by Disney and Tim Burton,” she said. “Burton’s art has a dreary and dreamy feel at the same time.” The art was judged by James Harper, a local art dealer, and Andrew Sovia, a surrealist artist from New York. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and from noon to 4 p.m. on the weekend. Call 676-3347.

APRIL 30 IT COMES OUT IN THE WASH 8:18 a.m. — 100 Block of Bosarvey Drive. Burglary. The victim said the suspect was working for him, and he let the suspect and his girlfriend stay at his house for a few days until they had enough money to find another place to stay. After the suspects left, his wife found clothes of theirs in the washing machine. While the victim and his wife were out, someone entered their home through the unlocked front door and took the suspects’ clothes, $75 and work tools the victim had hidden in his bedroom. The victim told police that he doesn’t lock his door because he has three pit bulls that protect the home. He said the only person who could have entered would be the suspect because the dogs got to know him. He said he doesn’t believe anyone else would have taken the clothes. The victim said he called the suspect, and the suspect said he would send the money back through Western Union, but the victim never received any money. The suspect said he would leave the tools at their worksite and the victim went to the worksite and recovered the tools. The victim has tried to contact the suspect again, but he does not return his calls.

atlanta falcons select ... ricardo allen By Joey LoMonaco | Sports Writer
Joey LoMonaco | Sports Writer
Golf scores come to life Ping! Right down the middle. Slight fade. About 275 yards. Then, again. Same thing. I should’ve quit while I was ahead — after my very first two drives on the range. Friday, I played in the Mayor’s Golf Tournament at Halifax Plantation Golf Club, and man was I bad. I’m talking duck hooks, catching it fat, slices, topping it, yips — and other types of mishits JOEY that scientists are LoMONACO still identifying. It was a scramble, meaning the foursome all hits and plays from the best shot each time. We used my drive three times, maybe? There was the exception, the aberration — the Par-4 12th hole where I absolutely crushed it off the white tee. I legitimately hit a 325-yard drive. We proceeded — all four of us — to all fudge our approach shots, only making par (which is not good at all in a scramble). But despite my play, I was determined to have a good time. And I did. I relished the banter with the other guys — Ed Beckett (the father of Jaci Centofanti from our advertising department), Bill Patin and Ed Stachurski. Ed Stachurski … Where the heck had I heard that name before? And then, he answered my own unasked question when he bragged about how he had won a local golf tournament recently. April 30: Men’s league: 1st Flight: Ed Stachurski 41, Bob Kretzman 41, Steve Gandee 41. Of course. That Ed Stachurski! It’s certainly not the most glamorous part of my job, but every week, usually on Sundays or Mondays, I compile the golf scores and arrange them for the Palm Coast paper. It’s boring, tedious and makes diagramming sentences seem terrific by comparison. But these names, these recurring names — the fixtures of Palm Coast’s largely elderly golfing community — don’t elude me. They’re there, in my brain. So, when the light bulb went on, I told Stachurski that I had printed his name — that finally, the golf scores were real and meant something. His response? “Oh, I should look for those sometime.” Maybe you should, Ed.
Georgia on his mind Ricardo Allen, a 2010 Mainland grad, heard his name called in the 2014 NFL Draft. Ricardo Allen endured the better part of three days, four rounds and 146 picks before another number — 404 — lit up his iPhone and changed his life forever. “I was just sitting there, and I got a call from a Georgia (area code),” said Allen, a former standout defensive back at Mainland High School and Purdue University. On the other end of the line was Atlanta Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff. He asked Allen how he felt, if he was healthy. The exchange was brief and concluded exactly how Allen had hoped it would. “They said, ‘We’re going to turn your card in, and you’re going to be an Atlanta Falcon,’” he recalled. Back home in Daytona Beach, where Allen had gathered Saturday to watch the draft with his family and his girlfriend, Grace, the celebration ensued. “They were jumping around, laughing; they were real happy,” Allen said. Allen’s fifth-round selection marked the culmination of months of evaluations, scouting combines, workouts and waiting. Did he mention waiting? “It’s kind of like death row, sorry to say,” Allen said. “I’ve never been on death row, but I think that’s kind of what it feels

of knocking on his bedroom window. It was the summer of 2008, and Ricardo Allen was ready to get moving. “‘Are you ready to workout?’” Smith remembers repeating, equal parts groggy and incredulous. ‘It’s 10 a.m.!’ I jumped out of bed. I couldn’t say no, because he was so determined.” So the pair set about their routine, which consisted of jumping rope and running drills at Mainland. By Allen’s senior season, that regimen helped to mold him into a firstteam, all-state selection in 6A. Smith, a former running back at Bethune-Cookman University, began working with Allen when he was a freshman at Mainland. They started with basic speed and agility drills. As the workouts evolved in complexity, so did the pair’s bond. “I started as a personal trainer, but I ended up with a little brother,” Smith says. Ironically, Allen credits his career path to an accident that derailed the pigskin hopes of his older brother, Adrian. According to a November story published in the Indianapolis Star, Ricardo, then a seventhgrader, accidentally started a
grease fire while grilling hamburgers. Adrian tried to extinguish the blaze but suffered injuries that ultimately ended his career as a running back at Mainland. “It was never my dream,” Ricardo Allen says. “It was always his. And I took it away from him. He ended up going down the wrong path, and I had to step up to the plate.” Nearly a decade after the accident, he’s rounding third — gunning hard for a chance to cash in on that dream.
If I had a nickel(back)
In the days and weeks leading up to the draft, University of Toledo defensive coordinator Jon Heacock fielded inquiry after inquiry from NFL coaches regarding Allen. And they all asked the same thing. “Everybody felt that his spot was going to be nickelback,” said Heacock, who served as Purdue’s defensive backs coach during Allen’s senior season. Atlanta was one of the interested parties — the first to be exact. The Falcons came on hot and heavy, visiting Allen during

ALLEN / FROM PAGE 9 spring break. “After that, they left me alone,” he said. “I knew they had interest, but they just left it, left it dry. They didn’t want to get their name out there, to show other people that they were going to try to get me. They just kept it on the down low.” Allen snagged 13 career interceptions at Purdue and holds the Boilermakers’ all-time record for interceptions returned for a touchdown with four. He garnered All-Big Ten honors the past three seasons. But pundits and “draft experts” cited Allen’s 5-foot-9, 187-pound frame as a reason why he wouldn’t merit more than a third-day pick. “Undersized with skinny, wiry build and limbs...limited strength potential and will be out-muscled by WRs...forced to wrestle ballcarriers to the ground and lacks the natural power to consistently finish by himself,” CBSsports.com’s Dane Brugler wrote. Allen never read reports on him; he knew NFL franchises do their own legwork when scouting prospects.

“Personally, I really didn’t care what they thought about me, because they’re not the ones who’ll be drafting me,” he said. “If you have no say-so, and you’re not in the draft room, then it didn’t matter. It’s your word over, really, mine.” Atlanta has a plan for Allen, and that’ll work to his benefit as he looks to crack the roster, Heacock said. “He’s getting taken at a spot where they know exactly what they want to do with him, and I think that’s a huge advantage,” Heacock said. “They know what his upside is at that position, maybe what his downside is, and what he can do. That’s a pretty good world to live in.” From Daytona to West Lafayette and now to the ATL, Allen’s world continues to expand. He left for Atlanta on Sunday. The Falcons will hold a rookie minicamp May 16-18. “It feels great to be a draft pick just in general,” Allen said. “To go to the Atlanta Falcons was a plus — times two. That was one of my top picks as a team, and I’m just ready to go down there and play ball. … I have to be the anchor for my family.” Email Joey LoMonaco at joey@ormondbeachobserver.com.

Matty Zaccaria, 17, placed first in the men’s pro event at the May Day Memorial Surf Classic on May 10. About 100 surfers turned out for the May Day Memorial Surf Contest on Saturday, almost triple the number that showed up when Flagler Beach surfer Haley Watson founded the contest four years ago. This year, the contest raised $2,500 for the Halifax Health cardiology department. Watson founded the surf contest to raise awareness of heart disease in women and to honor her mother, Dollie Sue Watson, who died of heart disease at 48. “It’s such an amazing way to bring the community together while still honoring my mom,” Watson said. This year, the contest fell on Mother’s Day weekend, and Watson won the Women’s Pro division. Surfers came from as far away as Puerto Rico, and the number of spectators increased, too, Watson said. “This is the first year we’ve had it up on the boardwalk, and it’s definitely made a difference in the number of spectators,” she said. “People that aren’t competitors drive by, wonder what’s going on, and end up staying.” Ormond Beach resident Matty Zaccaria, 17, picked up surfing at age 14 from
some friends, but soon was practicing every day. Aerials, in which a surfer launches themself and their board off a wave, and then comes back down on the same wave, were the hardest to learn, he said. “Just the technique of it — the kind of wave you have to have, getting things in the right order to know what to do, what the wave is offering,” he said. It took him two years to get the hang of it, he said. Saturday, Zaccaria placed first in the Men’s Pro division. One of the youngest surfers in the grom division at Saturday’s event was 7-yearold Hammock resident Braeden Kopec, who placed sixth in the grom division and first in the open bodyboard event. Braeden said he surfs every day after school. “I just like going out there and having fun,” he said. Braeden said that he’d like to be a pro surfer one day. His father, Brian Kopec, said Braeden has already picked up some sponsorships and surfed more than 100 contests. Brian Kopec said he and his wife are also surfers, but “not like he is.”
Dylan Martin placed fifth in the men’s division at the May Day Memorial Surf.
Logan Hayes won best wave and placed second in the men’s event May 10.

W
hen he was a boy in Cuba, Elio Beltran spent time playing with a friend, Eloy Sardinas. They fired slingshots and walked through a canopied path near the railroad tracks where cattle were unloaded. They ran from bulls, they told each other stories of the woman who had been killed nearby, and they told stories of the rituals practiced by an African group in the woods. Today, that scene is depicted in Beltran’s painting, “The Forbidden Path,” which he completed in 1989. On Monday afternoon this week, that painting leaned against an orange wall along with others waiting to be hung and illuminated. Beltran’s memories of childhood in Cuba have inspired many paintings in his long career, which has now brought him to this weekend, when he will open the Elio Beltran Museum and Artist Gallery of Palm Coast, at 1 Farraday Lane, Suite 2E. “Thinking of that beautiful, clean atmosphere, the freedom to run around as kids,” Beltran reminisced about Cuba. “We played baseball and went swimming — it was spontaneous.” Childhood spontaneity informs the subject matter of many of his paintings, though his composition is controlled. He paints winding paths, surreal scenes, images of bays and docks. Another painting depicts his hometown of Regla, Cuba. In the distance, cranes
built by his father tower over the water. A small figure is seen walking along a path, and that is the inspiration for the title: “Loreta Va a Paseo,” which means “Loreta goes for a walk.” Loreta was a beautiful woman in Regla, and she was unmarried at 30, which made her mysterious to the boy Beltran. When she walked through town with her parasol, “She was someone to admire,” Beltran recalled. And in the foreground of the painting there is a surreal image of Beltran himself when, as a young man he borrowed one of his father’s suits to walk through town himself. He recalled, “I felt like a man that day.” Beltran has shown his work in exhibits in Miami, New York, Washington, D.C., and many other places. He lives in Ormond Beach today, but he decided on Palm Coast as the home for his new gallery, noting that it has an ascending arts scene. “I had been going back and forth to St. Augustine for two years, but I stopped here,” Beltran said. “Palm Coast has attracted some good artists. In dealing with the ambiance of people involved in the arts — this is refreshing. The people are passionate about education. They’re creating an attractive environment here. I feel very stimulated to be a part of it.” Beltran wrote a book about his escapades with his Eloy, his boyhood Cuban
Beltran completed “The Forbidden Path” in 1989. The Spanish title is “El Callejon del Sapo,” or “The Frog Alley.” friend, who died at age 13. The book is called “Back to Cuba,” and it was the subject of a talk he was scheduled to deliver on Wednesday, at the Flagler County Art League. To learn more about Beltran and his work, visit eliobeltran.com. The opening of his gallery is 2-6 p.m. Saturday, May 17.
