If you love your job, you never have to go to work Principal Robert Wallace retires from Seabreeze High after 13 years. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

Samantha Crouch has two memories of Principal Robert Wallace standing outside the halls on the first day of school, welcoming everyone inside: one when she was a freshman, and one when she was an employee. Now the director of the Culinary Academy at Seabreeze High School, Crouch says that Wallace provided an atmosphere that put everyone at ease on those first days of school. “It really made a difference,” Crouch said. “And I feel lucky to have been in a position to have the same mentor as a student and in the workforce. Now I really had the chance to see the impact he had on students.” Last week, Wallace announced his retirement, after 13 years of serving as principal. Though the

decision was financially right for his family, it doesn’t mean he was necessarily ready to go. “I was not one of those people who couldn’t wait to retire,” Wallace said. “I loved being around the kids every day, being a part of their world. It kept me young.” During his time as principal, Wallace says he’s proud of the different things the school put together for seniors, and the type of students the school produced. “There’s a saying that goes, ‘If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life,’” he said. “I loved all my years at Seabreeze. It was a wonderful combination of students, dedicated faculty and community involvement. Our kids are very respectful and they value education.” As one of his former students, Crouch went on to college and eventually made her way back to Seabreeze as a teacher. She said no matter how old she is, one thing will never change: “Being called into the principal’s office,” she laughed. “That was always scary.” No matter where the rest of his life takes him, Wallace says he wouldn’t trade his time at Seabreeze for anything. “I’m going to miss the interaction with the students,” he said. “The talks in the halls and in the classroom. I very much enjoyed my time there.”

City cuts down tree to deal with hazardous situation in Central Park.

Resident Paul Duncan said young people in Central Park had vandalized his property and injured his dog, which had to be put down.

A narrow trail through thick woods in Central Park leads to the scene of the crimes. At one point, a fallen tree blocks the path. The walker faces a decision: Lean over, and try to fit underneath, or go around, and plow through the palmettos and other underbrush. The trail leads to a small bluff overlooking one of the park’s lakes. In this remote area, unseen from Hammock Lane, young people have been enjoying a summer tradition. Grabbing tightly onto a rope hanging from a tree, they swing out over the lake. Momentarily airborne, they crash into the cool water. It’s pure Americana. But things got out of hand at this secret location, with crimes of underage drinking and vandalism. There was danger of serious injury in a hard-to-reach area. Nearby neighbor Paul Duncan said it’s a case of a few bad apples. “It’s mostly kids under 16 having fun,” he said. “They’ve been doing that 50 years. My problem is they started coming inside my fences, stomping down my gates.” OFFICIALS HEAR PROBLEM

He took his problem to the City Commission at a recent meeting. “My request to you is to remove a tree,” he said. “This beautiful oak tree leans out over the water

10 feet from my property line. We have hundreds of kids there on a regular basis, swinging and dropping into the water. On spring break I came looking for my boat that had been sunk a while back. I came across 30 kids that had enough beer for 100.” He told the commissioners that kids were diving from a platform and catching the ones who swung from the rope. He said if someone gets hurt, paramedics won’t be able to get to the location in time to help the victim. “They can get drunk and have a good time because the cops can’t bother them,” he said. “They can’t hear them, and they can’t see them, but I’m tired of it.” He said one reason for the large crowds is that the tree is on social media. There are many people from out-of-state at the site. In a final remark, he suggested the city hire a contractor to build a zip line across the lake to provide recreation. After his comments, Mayor Ed Kelley asked City Manager Joyce Shanahan to investigate. DOG HAD TO BE PUT DOWN

After the meeting, on a walk to the tree, Duncan said he came to know some of the kids who frequented the tree, once fixing a bicycle chain. But incidents in the past few months have taken a turn for the worse. His boat was stolen and found

sunken in the lake. An RV that he parks on his property was stripped of aluminum. And one of his dogs came limping back home one night, beaten near death. He had to put it to sleep. He talked to people at the tree swing, and they described two individuals who had beaten the dog after being bitten. Duncan complained to his commissioner, Bill Partington, who visited the site. “We found cigar wrappers, beer cans, sleeping bags, clothes,” Partington said. He referred the matter to Shanahan and police. Shanahan said enforcement was difficult because of the remote location. END OF THE ORDEAL

The end of the walk down the trail led to the scene with a body — the body of the old oak tree, cut down by the city on April 24. Public Works Director and Assistant City Manager Ted McLeod said he was faced with the possibility of injury in a remote location and described it as a hazard. “I don’t know how we’d get emergency services back there,” he said. They had tried taking down the rope and the steps nailed to the tree, but they were back up within hours. Also, the tree was not in good shape, being loaded with nails from attaching the steps. “I hated to do it because I swung from a rope when I was a kid,” McLeod said.

“I came across 30 kids that had enough beer for 100.” PAUL DUNCAN, resident near Central Park

The City Commission approved annexation on May 5 of three properties on North U.S. 1, made possible by the recently signed Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement with Volusia County. Previously, the city only annexed properties that were contiguous with the city, but the new agreement allows enclaves. Planning Director Rick Goss told the commissioners that the property tax will be lower for the two businesses that will be annexed, because county millage rates are higher. Microflex Inc., 1800 N. U.S. 1, received final annexation approval. According to the agenda documents, the company applied for the annexation and already receives city utilities. The city of Ormond Beach estimates it will receive $9,697 in additional tax. Crossroads Calvary Chapel, 1805 N. U.S. 1, was notified April 1 that the city intended to annex the property. Since it is a church, there will be no tax revenue. Utility taxes are lower in the county, but water and sewer charges are less in the city, according to agenda documents. The city approved the annexation in a first reading, and final approval will be decided on May 19. Pastor David Sharp appeared at the meeting, and said the church had no reason to oppose the annexation. Blue Coast Bakers, 1899 N. U.S. 1, was annexed in a first reading and a final vote will be made May 19. The city estimates there will be $22,568 in additional tax revenues. Reached by phone before the meeting, Owner Kambiz Zarrabi said he had not looked into the difference between being in the city and county, but plans to attend meetings to get the details. Zarrabi is currently renovating the building. He plans to have a job fair in June and start operations by September. He currently has more than 20 employees and plans to have 300 in three years. MUSEUM PROPOSED

In the public comment section of the meeting, a representative of the Ormond Beach Historical Society spoke to the commission on the importance of preserving the MacDonald House, which was built in 1900 and now serves as headquarters for the society. Ann Kashmer, a volunteer, said the society has a vision of developing the property as a museum of local history, which would serve as an economic benefit in addition to preserving history and culture. “Museums have a proven track record of drawing visitors,” she said. “History and culture are magnets.” At a brainstorming session earlier this year, commissioners discussed several possibilities for city-owned buildings, including an idea to sell the MacDonald house to a developer.

BIRTHPLACE OF SPEED PARK

A STANDING OVATION

The Birthplace of Speed Park is a .7 acre oceanfront park located on the north side of the Granada Blvd. beach approach at A1A. The park provides a lovely pavilion, picnic tables, outdoor grill, shower, and drinking fountain. Paid parking is available nearby on the beach. The park is a wonderful setting for wedding ceremonies and gatherings.

ikayla Rogers stepped onto the stage at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center on May 1 to perform her rendition of “Fight Song,” by Rachel Platten. Halfway through the song, the music stopped, and the young girl stood with a confused look on her face for a few short moments until a cheerleader in the crowd yelled, “Keep going!” She finished the song a capella, with the help of 200 clapping hands to keep the beat. That sense of community and being there for each other is not unusual for Very Special Arts Volusia, an organization dedicated to providing arts and educational opportunities for people with disabilities, like Rogers. The charity held The Luminaries, the 25thannual talent night with 15 acts performed by 35 different local performers.

Teachers get raises contract almost resolved. “It’s certainly a win-win for the whole district,” she said. “I’m glad we were able to give the teachers a raise. They are certainly deserving. We gave them a respectable raise last year.” In other school-related news, Costello said the board has formed a citizens committee to help come up with a mission statement, vision statement and slogan to develop a strategic plan for the school system. The group will meet with each department. “Every department is aligned with the strategic plan,” Costello said. She said interim superintendent Tom Russell, who was appointed after Dr. Margaret Smith resigned earlier this year, has done an amazing job and has been given a one-year contract. She said the board is not currently seeking a new superintendent and likely will not resume the search until a strategic plan is in place. FLEXIBILITY FOR EXAMS

Russell notified teachers April 30 that the school system has decreased the number of end-ofcourse exams required and added flexibility. Costello said the state Legislature has recently provided more freedom on exams. “We’re over-testing our students,” she said. Elementary special area teachers (art, music and physical education) are no longer required to administer EOCs, according to

OBAMA’S MEDICAID EXTORTION The legislative session collapsed because of a Mob-like battle between the president and governor.

MATT WALSH OBSERVER MEDIA GROUP

If you read last weekend’s newspapers in Florida, you’d get the impression there was a crisis the size of Saturn in Tallahassee, and it’s threatening to bring about the collapse of state government. So what: Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli adjourned the House of Representatives three days before the officially scheduled end of the 2015 legislative session. And he did it without the House and Senate completing the one job they are required to do — adopt a budget before July 1, the start of the new fiscal year. For those in the vortex of the capital, this was a big deal, even ruled a violation of the Florida Constitution. But for millions of Floridians who pay attention tangentially to Tallahassee, there is little reason to lament that lawmakers were unable to pass dozens of bills. Cynical as it may sound, taxpayers are better off that way. The less lawmakers do, the less they infringe on your freedom. But here’s what this whole “crisis” comes down to: how power corrupts and turns into Machiavellian vindictiveness — all at the expense of the innocent. It’s Barack Obama, his federal Mafiosi and Congress’ Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, versus Florida Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida House. And at the center of this power corruption? Medicaid and Florida’s 10-year-old Low Income Program. They are the chess pieces that help illustrate one of the worst parts of federalism: legalized extortion. It’s when a higher level of government takes money from taxpayers and then redistributes the money to a lower government — as long as the lower government follows the higher government’s dictates. In the private sector, we call that racketeering, extortion and the Mob. And if you challenge the Mob, watch out. You pay a dear price. It’s easy to fall into the “MEGO” mode (my eyes glaze over) when you try to understand the political, Machiavellian maneuvering that has transpired the past six months. But the story behind the outcome — which was the collapse of the legislative session — demonstrates the levels of vindictiveness that sometimes consume politicians who are so antithetical to each other. That would be President Obama and Gov. Scott. It starts with Jeb Bush You have to start at the beginning, which goes back to 2005. That’s when Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visited the George W. Bush administration to seek a waiver from federal Medicaid requirements. Gov. Bush was at the forefront of experimenting and innovating — what the Founders envisioned states should do. Gov. Bush wanted to convert Medicaid from a feefor-service program to managed care to control its spiraling costs. The G.W. Bush administration granted the waiver, creating “LIP,” the Low Income Program. This allowed federal money to be sent directly to a select group of Florida hospitals and county health departments to reimburse them for care given to people who could not afford to pay, “uncompensated care.” Each year, the program distributed $1 billion in state and mostly federal money. It worked. The feds renewed the waiver for nine years, and the amount of money

involved grew to $2 billion. Not everyone liked LIP, of course. All government redistribution has winners and losers. In this case, hospitals that didn’t receive LIP money thought the system should be changed so that the money more closely followed the patients and not just a select group of hospitals. Obama administration officials, after the adoption of Obamacare, didn’t like LIP either. The leaders of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began to let Florida officials know they wanted changes. It didn’t take a genius to recognize what CMS officials ultimately wanted — Florida to expand Medicaid under Obamacare. The Mafia had spoken The Obama administration’s opposition to LIP came to a head in early 2014, when the CMS feds and Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration (ACHA) renewed the LIP waiver. The feds told the state that was it — the last time CMS would grant the waiver, and in 2015, the program would need to change. The Mafia had spoken: Do it, or the $2 billion would be gone. But exactly what the state was to change CMS did not say. Elizabeth Dudek, secretary of ACHA, told the Senate Ethics Committee last month: “When we were told last year there would be only a one-year extension to the current program, we began discussions with CMS. We contracted for an independent study, and that would provide a beginning for our discussions.” Apparently, little through the spring, summer and fall. Florida Senate leaders were incredulous in April when they learned that the even though the state knew $2 billion in federal funding was tenuous, little had been accomplished in more than 10 months. The feds and ACHA say they were waiting for the results of a “Navigant” study. Keep in mind, too, what also was occurring during 2014: • Even though the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 had ruled the federal government could not coerce states to expand Medicaid, President Obama repeatedly lobbied publicly for states to expand their Medicaid programs. Liberal newspaper editorial boards and progressive think tanks and political candidates incessantly called for expanding Medicaid to every state. It’s free money, they always said. How can you turn it down? • All the while, Gov. Scott was ensconced in his re-election campaign. In a step clearly aimed at assuaging his opponents and those who favored Medicaid expansion, Scott, to the surprise of many, reversed his opposition to Medicaid expansion and said he was for it at the start of the 2014 legislative session and at the peak of his campaigning. This came despite his spending millions of his own money to defeat Obamacare before being elected governor and his consistently expressing opposition to Obamacare. Feds said they’d be flexible But in spite of his new position, Scott did little in the 2014 legislative session to persuade the House to change its opposition to Medicaid expansion. Neither side — the feds, nor the Scott administration — showed much urgency during most of 2014 to change the LIP — the deadline approaching and the $2 billion at stake. An ACHA spokesman said the agency and CMS held monthly calls to discuss the Florida’s Medicaid waiver. But it wasn’t until February 2015, just before the legislative session began, that the

pace of negotiations increased. Secretary Dudek, this past April 15, told the Senate Ethics Committee: “We had discussions in December (2014) and January (2015). CMS indicated it would be flexible in the normal time frames and that a new waiver would not be required.” In that same hearing, former Senate President Don Gaetz said to Dudek: “We knew a year ago that LIP was ending or being radically changed. When we dealt with this in the past, we submitted a 235page proposal to the federal government. Did we submit a formal proposal with narrative any time before late February or March of this year?” Dudek: “No sir. We were told we did not need to … They would have flexibility with us to formulate something with us together.” According to an ACHA spokesman, state and CMS officials had “frequent communications” — five phone meetings — from mid-February to mid-March about LIP, although no agreement emerged. CMS ties funds to Medicaid Then, on April 6, despite all of the meetings and phone calls, and with lawmakers increasingly on edge about the fate of LIP funds, Dudek issued a press release. CMS has “made no commitments around whether [it] will fund the LIP program or when [it] will reach a decision … CMS still has not offered a date or a time to continue discussions about the future of the LIP program.” This was no accident; CMS officials knew the imminent deadline lawmakers were facing. The pressure from Washington and on legislators intensified a week later. April 14: Victoria Wachino, acting director of the CMS, sent a letter to the state regarding LIP. The next day, Justin Senior, Florida’s deputy secretary for Medicaid, responded to Wachino: “Thank you for your letter of April 14, 2015, regarding the future of Florida’s Low Income Pool (LIP). Your letter, for the first time, clearly links a continued LIP with Medicaid expansion. In NFIB v. Sebelius 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012), the U.S. Supreme Court explicitly warned the federal government against attempting to coerce states into participating in Medicaid expansion — yet that appears to be exactly what the federal government is attempting here.” Mafia retribution and extortion at work. To the Ethics Committee, Secretary Dudek said: “We worked under the understandings we had with them as to how we would negotiate this. We moved forward in an open a process as we thought we could. But they have 100% control over how this works.” The feds knew all along what they were doing. In turn, Scott, like a mob chief defending his turf, responded with his own retribution. On April 28, he filed suit against the Obama administration for attempting to coerce the state to expand Medicaid. On that same day, the Florida House adjourned — three days early, with no budget passed and still no decision on the $2 billion in LIP funding. Two heads of state in a power struggle, one trying to extort the other. The Legislature, caught in the middle, in disarray. It has about 45 days to pass a budget. And Florida taxpayers, low-income recipients of LIP care and hospitals and their employees — all collateral damage. Political power corrupts, absolutely.

BEWARE OF FUNNY MONEY 2:21 p.m. — 100 Block of North Nova Road Counterfeit bill: The store said a male came into the store and attempted to buy beer with a counterfeit $20 bill. The clerk knew his name. A police officer was able to locate the girlfriend of the suspect. She said the two of them were sitting on a bench when a man rode up on a bicycle. Her boyfriend asked him for a few dollars so he could buy some beer. She said the man handed him a $20 bill and said bring back the change. The police interviewed the boyfriend, and he admitted to going in to the store for beer. He said he didn’t know the other suspect but later referred to him by his first name. He then admitted he knew him. The police believe they were working together and arrested the boyfriend. The other suspect has not been located. The United States Secret Service was contacted and will follow up in the case.

want her trespassed. The officer told them to place the purse in lost and found, and call the police when she returned to retrieve it. Several hours later, the officer received a call from the business. The officer returned, and the suspect said she was there to get her purse. The officer told her the business did not want to prosecute for shoplifting, but only to have her trespassed. The suspect insisted she had not stolen from the business. The officer then offered to check the video, and if she is found shoplifting she would be arrested. The suspect said it was not necessary to review the video and accepted the trespass.

She said she had signed a contract with a company to handle an estate sale. She moved out of the home, and the sale was to last two weeks. The suspect said she returned to the home a week later and saw that items were missing. She told the officer she wanted to force them to give her a list of items that had been sold. The officer reviewed the contract, and it had nothing about keeping a list of items that were sold. It only said the owner would receive the profits of the sale. The victim allowed the sale to continue.

SPORTS ADRIAN KILLINS:

STATE CHAMPION

Is second place the first loser?

After falling just short in the 100-meter run, Adrian Killins redeems himself to become the 200-meter champion. JEFF DAWSEY

JEFF DAWSEY

SPORTS WRITER

drian Killins said that he wanted to win a state championship in football or track before he graduated next year, and now, the wait is over. He breezed to a comfortable 200-meter championship, in 21.16 seconds, on May 2, at the University of North Florida. “It feels unreal to be a champion at state,” Killins said. “I never thought this would happen, but it took hard work and dedication. I’m just blessed, but I’m at a loss for words.” Killins, a junior, became the first state track champion for Mainland in 10 years, since Tony Wiggins captured the championship in the same race. Killins went into the state meet expecting to sweep the 100- and 200-meter dash, but he fell short in the 100 by a 10th of an second. “I had to bounce back in the 200, after taking second in the 100,” Killins said. With just one chance to redeem his close loss and to clinch a state title, Killins made the most of it. All year long, he has been focused on hard work, dedication and preparation at every practice and event, and Killins believes his work has finally paid off. He said he had dreamed of this day all his life, back when he was surprising older onlookers in street races, as a kid. After the race, he knelt numerous times, and when asked about it, he said, “I was just in total shock, and I kept thanking God.” Although he’s the champion, don’t expect Killins to slow down any time soon. He’s already declared his expectations for his senior year.

“It feels unreal to be a champion at state. I never thought this would happen, but it took hard work and dedication.” ADRIAN KILLINS

Adrian Killins takes in the moment of becoming a state champion.

“I plan on coming back to win the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay,” he said. “It really feels good to be able to bring a championship back to my school and my community. I’m just going to let this ride out and get ready for football.” Killins was the only athlete to win a gold medal from Flagler or Volusia counties.

Killins said that his constant kneeling, after his win, was to thank God.

TOP FINISHERS Seabreeze had a team of distance runners that performed well enough to place at states. Kianna Bonnet finished seventh in the 3200-meter run and 12th in the 1600, while Alyssa Bayliff took 14th, and the 4x800 relay team (Alauna Neely, Alyssa Bayliff, Lea Gray and Elizabeth Murray) took ninth. Gray also finished 13th in the 800. Also, congrats to Mainland’s Breona Butts, took sixth in the 200-meter dash. Breona Butts took sixth place in the girls 200-meter dash. Kianna Bonnet finished seventh in the 3200-meter run.

he first organized sporting event I ever played in was a middle school football game, and with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, my team was down 33-0 against our crosstown rivals. I was furious. But when we got the ball, on the first play, I ran for a long touchdown to erase the shutout, and I gave our fans something to cheer for. As selfish as it may sound, I left that game feeling a lot better than I would have, had I not scored that touchdown. This past weekend, I had the privilege of watching hundreds of high school student-athletes compete at the Track & Field Championships at the University of North Florida. While there were many who sought the coveted gold medal, only one could stand in the middle of the podium, bend his/her head down and look back up into the stands with a big smile and a new, shining medallion gracing his neck. (See the picture to the left.) For some, winning would have felt great, but doing better than expected didn’t feel bad, either. As Matanzas’ Tahiem Shakir waited for his fifth-place medal for the high jump, he conversed with his fellow opponents with his characteristic smile and personality, and then he hugged and congratulated his teammates, Savannah and Kinley Drummonds, on their fourth- and fifth-place pole vault finishes. “A lot of the guys kept saying they didn’t want an eighth-place finish, but how many people can say they’re the Top 10 in the state in anything?” Shakir said. There was also a girls 4x100 relay team that took third place, and they seemed happier than the gold-medal winners. They never stopped smiling, waving and laughing on the podium, and when they heard how fast they ran, their joy multiplied. If only the same could be said about another third-place winner. A female runner from a school out of our area exhibited the worst sportsmanship from all the participants I saw. When some athletes didn’t get first, they planted their faces in their hands, while others just took some time to themselves. Not this one. After refusing to smile on the podium, she refused to take a customary picture with the winner and second place, who was on her team, and when she hopped off the podium, she threw her medal in the dirt and walked away.

Dale grabs student-athlete honors Ormond Beach Lions recognize flag football star. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

She was clearly the best flagfootball receiver in the area. It seems as if Kaley Dale was a part of nearly every big play for the Seabreeze Sandcrabs. When the game was on the line, Bright House Network’s Player of the Year, McKenzie Bowlus, found her favorite option for a touchdown. It is only fitting that Dale would be the Ormond Beach Lions Club’s final Student-Athlete Award. “It is an honor to be picked my school for this award,” she said. Dale is an all-around athlete. She also played volleyball in the fall and soccer in the winter, while

in the end zone, I was so excited that I was shaking because it hit me that I caught the game-winning touchdown. It felt so nice to beat Mainland because they were the ones that knocked us out last year.” Catching a football has become second nature to Dale. She’s been doing it her entire life. “Ever since I was little, I would always throw and catch with my family,” Dale said. “I was the only girl growing up, so I did things that the boys did.” With Tuesday’s second-round loss to Fleming Island, Dale’s flag football career is over. She will now focus her attention on becoming a nurse practitioner at Daytona State after graduation this year.

maintaining a 3.5 grade point average in the classroom. While she played well in the other sports, flag football is where Dale excelled. She finished the season with well over 1,000 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns. All season long, teams tried to shut her down with two defenders, but their attempts were futile. Dale even recognized Mainland’s effort to triple mark her during the district championship, but she still managed to grab the catch that won the game for the Sandcrabs. “When I heard that the play was coming to me, I wasn’t nervous at all,” she said. “I just told myself to do what I know, but once I was

“Ever since I was little, I would always throw and catch with my family. I was the only girl growing up, so I did things that the boys did.”

Kaley Dale makes an acrobatic catch in a losing effort against Fleming Island.

DALE’S BEST MOMENTS: Kaley Dale played her best when it mattered most. In the Sandcrabs’ playoff win, she had 175 yards and three touchdowns. Dale caught the game-winning touchdown against Mainland in the district championship. Down by less than a score against Spruce Creek, she caught the game-winning touchdown with 4.5 seconds left. In Seabreeze’s 28-7 win over Flagler Palm Coast, Dale caught three touchdown passes, along with over 100 receiving yards. She scored in nearly every game this season.

STARS A

Ormond Beach: hosts 43rd Art in the Park. EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

rtist Eric Shupe stands proudly next to his sculpture, made out of 13,200 butter knives, called “Star Reborn,” a recreation of a mermaid chasing her star. It not only took him a year to complete the piece, but two years alone to collect enough knives. But the time spent is worth it, though, when he sees his inspirations come to life. “My wife is my inspiration,” Shupe said with a smile. “I’m also drawn to the aerial of Cirque du Soleil. I love the fluidity and the way they move.” Shupe’s work was displayed on the main stage in Rockefeller Gardens at the city’s 43rd-annual Art in the Park on May 2 and 3. Last year, the Gainesville artist was the Best in Show winner. This year, the title went to David Mallory for his wooden, hand-carved vases and other home decor.

Top scavengers: Ormond residents Ormond residents were among those who won prizes in the recent scavenger hunt called Rediscover U.S. 1: America’s Business Highway. The contest, which ended April 19, involved eight cities along the U.S. 1 corridor from Ormond Beach to Oak Hill, and was organized by economic development personnel in the cities to promote businesses. “Approximately 50 residents from the eight participating communities took the time to visit most of the 38 places listed on the scavenger hunt program,” said Patty Rippey, redevelopment director for the City of South Daytona. Joe Mannarino, economic development director of Ormond Beach, said he was pleased with the turnout and enthusiasm of the residents and businesses that participated. The contestants had to answer

questions on a form to be eligible for prizes. The forms were drawn at random for gift baskets, which included restaurant gift cards, floral gift cards, water park passes and assorted teas, coffees and baked goods. Three grand prize winners answered at least 30 questions. Grand prize winner Sherri Ladanyi, of Ormond Beach, said, “My mother and I really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. We spent quality time together exploring lots of places that we had never visited before.” Two of those who answered less than 30 questions also received gift baskets, including Colleen Freeman, of Ormond Beach, who went on the hunt with friend Jacob Price. Sharon Parker, co-owner of Magnolia House Antique Village, said more than 70 people came into her shops that had not visited before. “This was a home run on U.S. 1,” she said. — WAYNE GRANT

Shark Bait Surf Shop sinks teeth into Ormond Owner sees Ormond-by-the-Sea as ‘up and coming.’ WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

From the Jersey Shore by way of Sanibel Island, the McCarthy family has found a home and business in Ormond-by-the-Sea, opening Shark Bait Surf Shop at 1458 Ocean Shore Blvd. They like the outdoorsy, laidback lifestyle of the community, and their home and business are within walking distance from the waves. “I grew up on the beach, and I wanted my son to grow up on a beach, too,” said Suzanne McCarthy. Husband and co-owner Kevin built the displays and remodeled the interior of the building to create the low-key atmosphere of surf shops he knew years ago as a kid. “Surf shops today are highend, multi-million dollar businesses,” he said, “We wanted a relaxed atmosphere … that old Jersey surf shop feel.” They sell a variety of surf boards, skate boards, Ormond Beach T-shirts, sterling silver and pewter jewelry, which they design and cast themselves. The Jersey Shore is a popular area for surfing and the McCarthys learned the business by working at Ron Jon Surf Shop before opening their own store on Long Beach Island. They moved to Sanibel about 20 years ago, after deciding that Florida would be a better location

because New Jersey surf is seasonal. They ran a shop until Hurricane Charley made a direct hit. “It was two weeks before we got back on the island,” Suzanne McCarthy said. They knew it would be a long time before business returned to the island, so they concentrated on their pewter jewelry, which has been their livelihood until opening the current shop. Now that the economy is picking up, they’ve decided it’s a good time to get back into retail. Also, Kevin points out, Ormond-bythe-Sea seems to be up and coming. Beach parking has brought more people, and little restaurants have popped up. That has led to more retail, he believes. Their son, Connor, 13, is an integral part of the business, lending his expertise, especially on the skateboarding side. “He talks from experience,” said his mother. Connor also makes designs for the boards and the clothing. “We’ve always worked retail and we want Connor to experience it,” she said. All of their boards are made by a North Carolina shaper, Kenny Briel. The McCarthys said he will work directly with a customer for a custom board by email or phone. They sell merchandise that is made in the U.S. as much as possible, including the shirts, which are made in Colorado. They also plan to have shirts screen printed locally.

Kevin, Suzanne and Connor McCarthy recently opened Shark Bait Surf Shop.

They also like to be environmentally friendly. The board wax is biodegradable, and the inks in the shirt designs are water-based. “The ocean is not going to take care of itself,” Kevin McCarthy said. In addition to being within a skateboard ride to the ocean, they also like their location between two restaurants, because people stop before or after eating. Heffer’s Twooo Cafe serves

Chamber

Channel

breakfast and lunch, and Lenny’s New York Pizza Co. serves lunch and dinner, so they have long hours on Friday and Saturday so they can take advantage of both crowds. The name, Shark Bait, is not because of dangerous fish in the ocean. It’s from the film, “Finding Nemo.” Shark Bait was Nemo’s nickname. Call 265-0663 or email sharkbaitsurf@gmail.com.

“We wanted … that old Jersey surf shop feel.” KEVIN MCCARTHY, owner of Shark Bait Surf Shop
