water woes By Jacque Estes | Staff Writer
Pursuit of clear drinking water City of Bunnell, Flagler County are exploring options to ensure Plantation Bay residents have quality water. Residents should soon be seeing clear water coming out of their faucets soon. “Well No. 1 is back online as of (March 9),” said Bill Green, utilities director for the city of Bunnell. “We replaced the well pump and some of the piping, valves and other mechanical parts.”
The repairs will improve the coloration, one of the problems residents had been experiencing. He also gave a tour to residents on Feb. 11 (see Page 2 for the full story.) “That's going to help with the color-

Barbara Woodburn was part of the war effort at home during World War II. Many who know Barbara Woodburn know her for her passion for bridge and teaching others to learn and love the game. What they may not know is that when she was a teenager she helped build bombers. “I was at a bomber plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan,” she said. “I had just graduated and was in junior college.” Woodburn decided to take a break from college and follow her two sisters who moved to Ypsilanti from their home in Iowa to live with relatives and find work in the bomber plant. “The war was going, and jobs were available at
the bomber plant,” Woodburn said. “I thought, ‘This is great! Why don't I do this?'” Woodburn saw it as a way to contribute to the war effort while saving money to attend Iowa State College. “It was a wonderful experience for a teenager,” she said. Rosie the Riveter is an icon from World War II, a woman, her biceps flexed. The image represents women's contribution while most of the men were away. “Everyone has heard

water woes, continued By Maria Peters | Contributing Writer
Official attempts to ‘clear the air’ at plant tour At a Feb. 11 tour, water plant manager Bill Green explained the state of the plant. Bill Green, utilities sirector for the city of Bunnell and operations director for Plantation Bay’s water and wastewater treatment facility, made good on a promise made during a Jan. 26 board meeting (see Page 5 for the full story) and conducted his first plant tour for residents on Feb. 11. The three-hour tour coincided with news that he was sending out a Florida Department of Environmental Protection-required letter that the plant’s wa-
What are trihalomethanes? Trihalomethanes occur when naturally-occurring organic and inorganic materials in the water react with the disinfectants, chlorine and chloramine. Some people who drink water containing total trihalomethane in excess of the MCL over many years could experience liver, kidney or central nervous system problems and increased risk of cancer. Source: water.epa.gov
ter has violated the number on trihalomethanes and haloacetic acid testing (TTHM-HHA) by exceeding EPA standards. “We did not meet the requirements for drinking water standards, but we are going to correct the situation,” Green told residents. “This is a notice, and you have a right to know. It is not something that just happened. It’s an annual average.” Green said a few people had been discussing the issue in online chat rooms, and he hoped to address their concerns. “When utility does tours, I want to clear the air,” he said. “We are working here all of the time. I can stand in a meeting and tell you things but that only means so much. I want you to see for yourself before you form an opinion.” Green said TTHM has been a problem for many years. He showed data in his office to the tour group from the year 2007 onward that “the numbers were out there for years.” “It is better to know and solve it on a permanent basis,” he said. “The numbers were based on an average testing over the last year.” He added: “If you drink gallons of water a day with a high TTHM

Director Bill Green calls it a “mechanical nightmare.” over 25-30 years, you have the possibility of getting sick from liver or kidney damage or cancer,” he warned. Resident Tony Law on tour from the Bay Isle Subdivision, said, “I don’t mind flushing my toilet or washing my car, but I don’t want to drink the water. What degree of assurance — or can you offer us any hope?” “I feel we have made corrections at the plant to keep it at the right levels,” Green said. “Now we have to get it down in the field. It’ll take 2-3 quarters below
threshold before the state sees our progress,” he said. “And, in answer to your question, ‘If you invited me to your house tomorrow and you gave me a drink of water — yes, I would drink it.”. Jack Wilson from Prestwick subdivision asked, “What about the people who already have cancer?” Green said, “I am not a physician and not a scientist. If you feel the need to get bottled water, do so. Remember that some of that bottled water comes from where? It comes from someone
else’s plant, and it’s stored in plastic.” Ideally, Green would like to see a new facility, but it’s unlikely that will happen any time soon. He inherited an antiquated water and water-treatment system that had a history of violations. In February 2013, the Flagler County Board of Commissioners entered into an agreement with the city of Bunnell paying $5.5 million for the Plantation Bay Utilities. The county is in charge of replacing needed components of the system while the city of Bunnell, with Green at the helm, is in charge of the day-today operations and billings. “This plant has been here since 1986, but it was already 10-15 years old before it was brought up from another place and put together,” Green told his visitors. “The county is investing every penny it gets back into the system. It is more important that we fix things so that we don’t get in trouble with EPA and take care of operational stuff and then look at the aesthetics,” he said. “My job, as operations director, is take what I have, correct it and move on,” he added. “We knew that the plant was in bad shape and that is why we bought it. But how much is peace of mind worth? We want to give you

I was the helper.” She stayed a year-and-a-half and as the war and the production at the bomber plant began to slow down, she attended Iowa State College, now Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, to resume her college studies in math and education. “It was a great experience, and we had a wonderful time,” she said. “One of my sisters met her future husband at the plant.” Clock watching was not a part of the job, and Woodburn
and 2,” Green said. Green said the results were still high, and it was important to determine exactly where the issue is originating. “If we have a ground water issue, then the trouble is at the source. If we have to drill a new well, it wouldn't make sense to drill a new well in the same spot.” The city is waiting for all of the testing to be completed.
Green expects to have those results in less than a month. “If I drill a new well, I need to know whether I should go north or south,” he said. The transfer of the plant to Flagler County will be completed once the financial arrangements have been made. “The process is moving forward,” Green said. “As far as I know, they are just waiting for all of the financial to be completed.”

During the tour, Green looked at some of the structures at the plant and said he had never run across anything like them in his entire career. At the conclusion of the tour, Green said, “I hope you’ll talk to your neighbors and tell them about what you’ve seen and heard today.”

to come out, and that would leave a bigger hole which is what you didn’t want,” she said. “Most of the time, our work passed inspection.” She laughed when recalling the effect her partner from Alabama had on her. “When I came home,” she said, I had a Southern accent.” Woodburn said there were men at the plant, too — not a lot, but some: men with 4F classification and ineligible to go to war. “It was a very diverse group of people working together. I was meeting people from different backgrounds, a great opportunity for a teenager.” — Know a neighbor with an interesting background? Email jacque@ormondbeachobserver. com.
Westlake President’s Message
Update for our Westlake residents
PRESIDENT / FROM PAGE 1 special announcements.
Happy spring to all the residents! With the perfect weather we hope to see everyone out and about enjoying the beautiful weather. Because of the beautiful Florida weather, the Westlake Neighborhoods have a lot of new homes being built. Because of this, we have been in close contact with ICI and Kargar homes to ensure that construction site areas remain clean. Building is always a good thing for property values in Plantation Bay, but we want to make sure there are very few disruptions for our existing residents. On the maintenance side of things, Steve Martin’s crew from Landcare has been busy mulching all the beds in Westlake and getting ready for the growing season by trimming shrubs and making sure the common areas look good. Please let us know if you see anything maintenancewise that might need to be addressed. Lastly, you have seen our new sign in the Westlake Park. It was just installed and looks great. We hope all residents can find the time to enjoy the park, especially for this beautiful spring weather. —Gregory P. Brousse, Westlake Homeowners Association president

BRIDGE The Indoor Sport So many residents of Plantation Bay play bridge it takes multiple bridge groups to meet the growing demand.

Right: Karen Stenhouse leads one of the bridge clubs at Club de Bonmont. who wants to begin,” she said. “I taught bridge for the Flager County School System.” Woodburn also wrote a teaching program for the game. One of her students is Karen Stenhouse, who started playing seven years ago and now heads up the Wednesday afternoon contract bridge group. “I took lessons from Barbara Woodburn, and she's a very good teacher. It's a good idea to get out and play and practice.” All are welcome to join the Wednesday group but those interested are asked to sign up before coming to a game. “We have a mixed group, not all one skill level,” she said. “It does help if the beginners have some experience.” Stenhouse says there are
health benefits to playing the game. “Bridge takes a great deal of focus, memory and attention to detail,” she said. “It's a really good way to stimulate the gray matter up there.” For many like Stenhouse, becoming involved with the bridge groups is a good way to meet
your new neighbors and get involved in the community. “When you first move in, you start meeting new people and learning about different activities,” she said. “We play five rounds of four hands and we finish about 3:30 p.m., and we wager 50 cents.” The other Wednesday group lead by B.Z. Westervelt starts at 11 a.m., breaks for lunch and returns to the tables about 1 p.m.

PLANTATION BAY OBSERVER
MARCH 2015
What can you do to keep your home safe?
Spring has sprung, and the daylight will continue to become longer with each passing day. This weather will bring more activity into the community. Walking, jogging, riding bikes, etc. Please remember the road is shared by all. After 6 pm you are traveling the community roads with your neighbors.
Vendors
All vendors have left the community by 6 p.m., as well. The construction hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. There are exceptions, however. Sunday work sometimes becomes necessary to meet deadlines. Normally, security is notified if there is a need for Sunday work. If you witness construction work on a Sunday, please notify security. If security is aware, they will advise you of the exception. If they are not aware, they will go to the site to have the offenders pack up and leave. When an incident occurs, security writes an incident report to have on file. The notification of offenders will be brought to the contractor who is responsible for the site the offender has been ask to vacate.
Donna Velardi
Lock your vehicles
There are incidents which oc-
cur in our community that security is not always aware of. There has been activity in Flagler and Volusia counties that gated communities are not excluded from. Flagler and Volusia Sheriff’s offices have asked that I notify residents of the following. Lock your vehicles when you are not occupying them, Parking your vehicles in your driveway does not necessarily make them secure. Lock your home when you are inside and away from your home. A gated community does not protect you from incidents that occur in non-gated communities. Valuables should be kept in an area in which a thief does not go to immediately for access. Valuables do not belong in a jewelry armoire or jewelry box in your bedroom or your nightstand drawer. Any valuables should be kept in a secure area of your home that you do not share with anyone other than your immediate family members who may need to remove the valuables because of a hurricane or fire, etc. Don’t keep large amounts of money anywhere from purse to house, mark all your valuables with an identification number or name, and take photos of any valuables. Having photos helps law enforcement. If you have photos of items which have been taken and the thief attempts to pawn your valuables, the photos will help identify your items for law enforcement. Unfortunately, you do
Security controls gate access, but we do not protect your valuables. not live in a secured, locked community. Security controls gate access, but we do not protect you and your valuables from anyone or anything.
‘Lived-in’ appearance
This is no time to be complacent. Many criminals prey on people who are off guard. Criminals look for people who are not paying attention to their surroundings, and then use the element of surprise to their advantage. A residence which presents a “lived-in” appearance is a deterrent to burglars. Never leave notes that can inform a burglar that your house is unoccupied. Make certain all windows and doors are secured before departing. An empty garage advertises your absence, so close the doors. Do not leave door keys under flower pots or doormats, inside an unlocked mailbox (Westlake area) over the doorway, or in other obvious places. When going out at night (dinner, movie, shopping), leave a light on inside your home. Timers may be purchased that will turn lights on and off during your absence for extended time away from home. When you are
home, you can turn your porch lights on at night to prevent any break-ins or burglary and lock your door at all times.
Strangers at the door
Be suspicious of strangers who come to your door. Never automatically open your front door. Make sure you know your caller’s identity if the caller is unknown to you ask for identification to be passed under the door before admitting him or her. If the person is unwilling to identify him or herself don’t open your door.
Visitors list
All residents need to update your visitor list every six months or when you change vendors. Vendors on your visitor list, lawn care, pool, health care, and caregiver stay on your list permanent and do not require you to notify the gate for access. If you change any of the above it is your responsibility to notify property management of your changes or you can sign into your CapSure account and make the changes yourself. A resident guest stays on your list permanent and does not require you to call your guest in; the visitor will receive a one-day pass. However, the pass can be extended for a week to 10 days for a short stay at your request. A permanent visitor is a visitor who at your request receives a 30-day pass. The only time a 30-day pass should be issued is when you have a house guest who is staying for an extended
Alligator mating season
Reminder: Alligator mating season begins the middle of March. This will have the alligators moving from pond to pond. For a sighting of an alligator, please notify security. Do not feed alligators and or any other wildlife. This is a danger to you and the wildlife. Wildlife has instincts to protect themselves from harm; humans feeding the wildlife does not help the animal it only disables — especially the young wildlife. Wildlife can turn on a human in an instant. Please use caution and do not break the law. The game warden can arrest you if someone reports feeding of the wild animals.
Contact security
If you need assistance accessing CapSure, staff can help. For emergencies, call 911 first, then security. ODH Main gate 386437-2496 or U.S. 1 South 386672-5680. Non-Emergency number for the Flagler Sheriff Office: 437-4116; Volusia Sheriff: 2481777 or 736-5999.

A visitor who has a pass is required to show his or her driver’s license at all times when gaining access into the community. There are no exceptions; please advise your visitors.

Bookworms in Plantation Bay The Plantation Bay Book Club first met at least 8½ years ago according to long-time member and reader, Maryellen Weingarten. Word got out, and the group grew to 60 members, with 25-30 regularly attending the book discussions 2:30-4 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month, at the conference room at the Prestwick Club. “Others ... participate using the club website,” Debbie Fadde said. Occasionally the suggestion to split off into smaller groups is made but never realized. “We've all made so many friends — no one wants to do that,” Weingarten said. Designed by former member Susan Gillmer, the website includes the reading list through June 2015, complete with the discussion questions and an author bio. There is also a book recommendation archive. Fadde has taken on the daunting task of maintaining the website. https://dl.dropboxusercontent. com/u/61426970/BC/Book_Club/Welcome.html, The website benefits those who might not want to, or be able to, attend the meetings. “People that can't come out follow along on the website and read the book,” Fadde said. Books are selected from recommendations from club members. Fadde compiles the list and writes a brief synopsis about each and the author, and the mem-
bers vote on which book they want to read as a group. With 60 people reading the same books there are going to be varying tastes, but this diversity is a plus for Fadde who enjoys historical fiction. “A good part about the book club is it forces you to read outside your normal genre,” she said. “‘State of Wonder’ was not my favorite book but all of the discussions are good to me,” Weingarten said. “The discussion gives a whole new way to look at the book.” Participants have included the author themselves. “A couple of times we had the opportunity where we had the pleasure of including the author,” Fadde said. “The Kitchen House,” by Kathleen Grissom, was one such conference call with the club. Weingarten enjoys the camaraderie and support of the group. “I don't see a lot of judgment in our group,” she said. “And there are some who don't say anything, they just listen.” The club is open to all readers in Plantation Bay. “Our feeling is someone who wants to come and read is welcome to join us,” Fadde said. “You can just show up.” In October the group meets with the Westlake book club, a smaller group that does meet in member's homes to share a book and fellowship. “People that read are really nice people,” Weingarten said.

‘Fore’ the Children
…Our Customers Do!
With a little help from their friends, the fifth-annual Children's Museum Golf Classic tees off March 30.
FREE ESTIMATES
The Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum opened two years before the first golf club was swung for its benefit. The youngsters wing is 9,300 square feet and the only hands-on science center between Orlando and Jacksonville. Financial gain from last year’s tournament resulted in new computers for the children to use. Previous golf classics at Plantation Bay have funded the purchase of new exhibits, and funding for supplies for the education department. “You don’t have to attend the golf tournament to support the Children’s Museum. You can join us by choosing to invest in the museum today,” Fortuna said. “Much progress has been made in the development of continuing education, but there is still a long way to go, and we need your help. Nothing is more rewarding that making a donation to a worthy cause. Contact the museum directly at: 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach, FL. 386-255-0285 or visit www.moas.org.” The entry deadline is March 23. The fee is $125 for those not a member of the country club and a discounted rate of $85 for members. To register or for more information, email chlidrensclassic@moas. org or call, 386-437-2604. While golfers play the course for the cause, they will also get a continental breakfast, range balls prior to play, the use of a beverage cart with snacks and drinks, a commemorative golfer gift pack, and on-course contests. Prizes are awarded to the top teams, top ladies teams, top coed teams and top 9 holes. There is also a hole-in-one prize and a putting contest. The event concludes with an awards celebration and silent auction, and a barbecue at Club de Bonmont.
2011-2014

In 2010 George Fortuna and Mike Armstrong decided to establish a golf tournament specifically for the Museum of Arts and Sciences children’s museum. Five years later, the tournament has become a popular annual event. “The guild is always looking for fundraisers,” Fortuna said. “First it was the Festival of Trees and the Halifax Art Festival. All of the money goes to the children’s part of the museum.” This year’s event is on Monday, March 30, with a four-player scramble, shotgun start at 9 a.m. at the Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club. Sponsorship is important to all nonprofit organizations, and Glenn Yarbrough, senior vice president wealth adviser at Merrill Lynch, is a valued sponsor of the golf classic. “Being involved in a number of different nonprofit organizations, Glenn Yarbrough has seen the benefit in being involved in a cause. Whether it is for endof-life care with Hospice or to help local homeless families with children, there is a lot to be said about giving not only time, but money, to a cause,” said Fortuna in an email. “Our team is proud to be working together with the Guild of the MOAS in their efforts to nurture kids’ positive growth with the Children’s Museum,” said Yarbrough stated in a press release. “We support many causes within our community because of a strong personal connection. We believe it is important to recognize our success and return it to the communities we live in. We call it paying it forward and try to live and work by the words of our vision: Transforming Passion into Action.”
