Two Volusia County Council members agreed: There should be a new study.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Should there be another study on the impact of north peninsula septic tanks on the Halifax River?

Some Ormond-by-the-Sea residents think so. So do at least two Volusia County Council members.

Six people spoke at the beginning of the council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 15, insisting for a new study to support — or debunk — the reasons for a conversion to Ormond Beach sewer.

North peninsula homeowners held a meeting at the Ormond

Beach Regional Public Library on Sunday, and resident Roger Nutt told the council that over 100 people attended. The Ormond By The Sea Association has started a petition for a study, and Nutt said 90 people have already signed it.

An online version of the petition at Change.org had been signed by 56 as of Tuesday afternoon, and residents are canvassing for more signatures in their neighborhoods.

The petition states that there is “no evidence that the septic systems in Ormond-by-the-Sea SEE SUPPORT PAGE 3

City says no to mannequins on A1A

A 43-year-old Tennessee man died Sunday afternoon after getting caught in a rip current near the Maverick Resort in Ormond Beach.

Beach Safety reported the man, whose identity was not released, went into an unguarded area behind the resort around 2 p.m. The other bathers were rescued safely.

He was pronounced dead at the hospital. .

The Ocean Club Sportswear shop began the special exception process due to code violations.

The Ormond Beach City Commission drew the line at mannequins.

It denied 3-2 a special exception for outdoor storage at the Ocean Club Sportswear shop at 712 S. Atlantic Ave. Commissioners Susan Persis, Rob Littleton and Troy Kent voted against. The property owners, Eba and Pinchas Mamane, were seeking to allow two outdoor display areas in front of the beach

apparel store, which Planning Director Steven Spraker said could include beach items as well as mannequins.

That made Persis pause.

“I don’t know what those are going to look like,” she said. “I hesitate to approve something like this to put stuff, knickknacks out in front of any kind of building.”

Kent, who has voted several times against outdoor storage special exceptions, said there

wasn’t a “snazzy enough” mannequin for him, “I don’t ever want Ormond to look like sister cities next door to Ormond,” Kent said.

“My fear is that we are on a slippery slope.”

The Mamanes did not go to the meeting, perhaps due to health issues, Spraker said.

Persis recalled that at OB Life, people wanted to keep Ormond charming. She said this went against that.

“We have been spending countless hours, money, on beautifying and enhancing our area. And to allow a business owner to put any type of outdoor storage like this — I just think it’s against what we’re trying to do.”

Support grows for new septic impact study FROM PAGE 1

The trouble with city trees Lethal Bronzing Disease has infected and killed palm trees in 31 Florida counties.

City staff said that likely won’t happen here.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

For over a decade, palm trees in Florida have been facing a plague with no cure. Lethal Bronzing Disease has impacted and killed 16 different types of palm trees in 31 counties, reported as close as Brevard and St. Johns.

In September, the city of Ormond Beach accepted a $839,700 bid from R.J. Landscape Contractors, Inc. to plant 103 palm trees in medians from west of the I-95 overpass to Orchard Street. However, city staff said the chances of the new palm trees contracting LBD are low.

City Landscape Architect Cara Culliver said there have been no cases of the disease in Volusia County. The palms that were chosen for the project are Phoenix dactylifera “Medjool” palms, which she said are less susceptible.

“The Phoenix dactylifera ‘Medjool’ is a superior palm in every respect and its durability in Florida is long proven and well established,” Culliver said.

The palm trees will replace the holly trees currently in the medians, 23 of which were diagnosed with a fatal fungus disease called witches’ broom years ago. Along with the palms, 22 crape myrtles and two live oak trees will be planted as well.

WHAT IS LBD?

Lethal Bronzing Disease is caused by phytoplasma, which is an unculturable bacterium with no cell wall, according to a report by the University of Florida. It was first detected in 2006 in Hillsborough County and was isolated between four types of palms,

including Phoenix dactylifera.

The Medjool palm trees the city is going to plant, and has already started planting on medians west of A1A to Orchard Street, are a sub-variety of dactylifera.

The phytoplasmas live in plhoem tissue, where sap is transported in plants, and the bacterium is transmitted via insects that feed on the sap, mainly planthopper and leafhopper insects.

The first symptoms of LBD vary, the report states. If a palm tree has fruit, one of those symptoms would be premature fruit drop. Other identifying characteristics are the collapse of spear leaves.

Don Spence, an associate professor of biology at BethuneCookman University with a doctorate in plant pathology, likened the spread of LBD to malaria — just like mosquitoes spread the disease in humans, insects spread LBD to different trees.

Plants infected with LBD don’t live long, Spence said. And while the disease has yet to be documented in Volusia, that doesn’t mean it never will be. Medjool palms, he said, are susceptible to the disease because they share the same genus as plants infected elsewhere.

“It’s just outside of our borders, and it likely will be here in the near future,” Spence said.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

The city is buying the Medjool palms from GroundWorks, a grower of specimen palms located in Boynton Beach and Houston, Texas. Culliver said GroundWorks owner George Nottingham has “decades of direct experience and expertise knowledge about Phoenix palms.”

Historical and current distribution of LBD in the state of Florida, as shown by the University of Florida.

She said that, because Medjools are clone-produced, they are more resistant to LBD than palms that are seed-produced.

“He has inspected an almost countless number of sites where Medjools have been installed during the past 25 years and he has yet to see a previously well maintained, fully-established variety certified Medjool date palm succumb to either Lethal Bronzing or Lethal Yellowing (phytoplasm) disease,” Culliver said.

Should LBD reach Volusia County, the palm trees would be inoculated with an antibiotic injection called oxytetracycline.

Each dose would cost about $21 per tree. If each one of the new palm trees needed the injection, that would carry a price tag of $2,163.

“The best protective measures for keeping our palms healthy is keeping to a strict fertilization program and ample water,” Culliver said.

NATIVE VS. NON-NATIVE

The planting of Medjool palm trees poses another question: Why not opt to plant native species?

The Medjool is native to the Atlantic Coast of Morocco, according to the GroundWorks website. Crape myrtles originated in Asia.

Culliver said requirements from the Florida Department of Transportation play a big role in plant selection. All proposed trees and

palms must have an 8-foot trunk at installation, for motor vehicle visibility. That limits what can be planted.

Cities are also bound to follow the FDOT Bold Landscape Standards, meaning they have to plant large, mature palms or trees to create a bigger visual impact. The Medjool palms and crape myrtles abide by these requirements.

However, Culliver said, some native plants are used in medians across the state, including coontie, dwarf yaupon, holly, Muhly grass and sand cordgrass.

Spence said that while there are many native plants the city can use, the problem comes from maintaining grass in the medians.

That can adversely impact the planted trees.

Soil is another issue, he said.

Many medians have a construction-type soil.

“The trees struggle because they just don’t have good rooting conditions,” Spence said.

The concerns regarding the future palm trees on Granada are an example of the movement recognizing the value of native species, he said. But, having a native species is only good if its matched by great care.

“We have to cultivate things in a more landscaping or plantfriendly manner for plants to be successful,” Spence said. “If we concentrated on using natives, we’d tend to have fewer disease problems.”

are contributing any pollution to [the Halifax River and the adjacent Tomoka Basin], and all the available evidence indicates that they are not.” It also requests that the study should be accepted, observed and approved by technical representatives of the homeowners, and, that all work regarding the conversion be suspended until a study proves septic systems are polluting the river.

“With no soil testing or proper scientific investigation to determine the source of nutrient pollution in the Halifax, there can be no justification in forcing this conversion upon us for environmental reasons,” resident Rashida Hakeem said.

She asked why Volusia County isn’t stepping in to identify and fix problems in the north peninsula, “if they exist.”

Jeff Brower, who is running for Volusia County Council Chair in 2020, said the 2013 Florida Department of Health study Ormond Beach is basing the conversion on was a “list of five hypotheses.” He’s recently tested some soil samples from the drain fields in north peninsula homes, and the samples (tested at an outof-state lab) revealed little nitrogen in the soil.

However, Brower said the county shouldn’t accept his testing. It should ask the state to test it themselves.

“You have an opportunity to pinpoint where the problem is,” Brower said.

The city of Ormond Beach isn’t currently seeking to solicit a new study. The 2013 FDOH study outlines that the north peninsula isn’t suited for septic, and the city is in the bidding stage for the design and permitting of the first phase of the septic-to-sewer based on that finding.

County Councilman Ben Johnson said the septic-to-sewer conversion is an emotional issue.

The council keeps hearing about the study, and he said the council needs to look at that before voicing any support for the project.

“It’s not like it’s 50-50 or even 30-70,” Johnson said. “I think we need to take a look at it and get some kind of scientific opinion on it before we go any further on it.”

County Council Chair Ed Kelley told Johnson that it wasn’t “their call”; Ormond Beach is doing the conversion and spending the money.

“We’re not in play on this,” Kelley said, adding that would change if the city approached the county for a special assessment district.

Councilman Fred Lowry also voiced support for a study to validate the conversion. As it is right now, he’s hesitant to help with grant assistance or other forms of support. When Kelley asked if he needed a study to prove that septic tanks produce nitrogen, Lowry said no. That’s common knowledge.

“It’s just there’s been no study to show that those particular ones are affecting the river as indicated by certain people,” Lowry said.

hough the half-cent sales tax referendum failed in May, that chapter is yet to be closed.

At the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting on Monday, Oct. 14, the group briefly discussed reviving a sales tax initiative for the next election — only this time, it could be a full one-cent sales tax.

A countywide consolidation of fire services doesn’t appear to be in the cards.

“That’s what we walked away from that meeting — that you all were fairly satisfied with the functional consolidation that

exists in the county,” Pleus said.

There was some discussion about having an update to the 2010 study on fire services, but that didn’t garner enough support. Cities interested in exploring varying consolidation options may continue to do so, but without a countywide initiative.

The same goes for smart growth.

Pleus said cities have employed different strategies and that managers didn’t want to confuse residents with a unified county initiative. Cities should be responsible for developing their own smart growth strategies.

“We felt like that was the most appropriate way to handle it,” Pleus said.

Mayor Bob Apgar, who chairs the roundtable.

This isn’t the first time John has spoken about the sales tax to the roundtable. He mentioned it at the September meeting.

Apgar said his words hadn’t been forgotten, and that the roundtable was planning to speak about a possible sales tax at the next meeting, scheduled for Nov. 18.

There was skepticism from some elected officials. Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington was the most vocal at the meeting.

He urged other elected officials to check in with their councils and see what level of support there was for another sales tax.

For Ormond Beach, the support may not be there.

Partington questioned why officials would discuss a onecent sales tax when the half-cent failed. Ormond was on board with the last initiative when the dollars were slated for transportation projects.

“Then it got changed to basically ‘wide open fun,’” Partington said. “You could use them for anything possible, and we hung on — a little begrudgingly — but we hung on, hoping that it would work. And it didn’t.”

Partington said he feels the will of the Ormond Beach City Commission is that if a city needs something, the commission or council should raise the taxes to pay for it. He added, however, that he would be interested to hear the reasoning behind a sales tax referendum revival.

“I’m going into it dubious and with lessons learned,” Partington said.

The Planning Board, at its Oct. 10 meeting, approved comprehensive plan amendments to state that the 15-acre property at the northwest corner of Airport Road and West Granada Boulevard will be used for utility purposes as needed by the city.

The second amendment states that the 38-acre area site at the northeast corner of Airport Road and West Granada Boulevard will be available for use as a natural resource park for passive recreation.

For the land to be developed as a park, the city would need to approve funding and the matter would go through city board and City Commission approvals.

In other administrative action, the Planning Board amended the comprehensive plan to include the annexation of Plantation Oaks, including land use maps and interlocal agreements. City zoning will be assigned at a later date.

The City Commission will hear these items Nov. 19.

From Cuba to the American dream WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

ational Hispanic Heritage Month was special this year for Marisel Aleman, co-owner of Cruise Elite Inc., a full-service travel agency at 270 N. U.S. 1.

She was named the 2019 ASTA Travel Advisor of the Year, recognized for going above and beyond in providing exceptional service for clients. She also thinks of her parents during the month: They escaped Castro’s Cuba in 1966, bringing her to America as a 4-year-old.

Aleman learned her work ethic by watching her parents learn a new language and build a new life in New York, taking any jobs they could.

“Hard work is part of the American dream,” said Aleman, who owns the travel company along with her husband, Marc Hayes.

The family was helped by Catholic Charities to leave Cuba and move to New York after completing a lengthy application process. Getting approval was not easy, and her parents were afraid something might go wrong until the day they left.

Her mother allowed her to take only two dolls to America. A seamstress, her mother dressed one of the dolls in clothes exactly like the clothes Marisel was wearing.

Her parents got factory jobs and acquired a studio apartment filled with furniture they found on the street. She said her first bedroom was a walk-in closet and her parents slept on a sleeper sofa.

“My parents felt fortunate to

be in this country,” she said. “We kept our traditions but considered ourselves American.”

She said her father placed much importance on learning, believing a person can make their way anywhere as long as they have an education. She attended Mary Louis Academy in New York, then went on to earn her B.A. in accounting at St. John University.

The American Society of Travel Advisors is an international professional group with 12,000 members, and she was elected by the board of directors from those nominated.

“I’m humbled by my award. It’s because of the dedication of my crew,” she said. “I’m extremely lucky to have a crew that has a passion for the travel industry.”

Hayes agrees that the staff deserves a lot of credit.

“They say behind every great man is great woman,” he said.

“Well, in this case, behind this great woman is a great crew and I’m lucky to be a part of it.”

National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The day of Sept. 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries.

100 CRUISES AND COUNTING

Hayes, an Ormond Beach resident since 1975, met Aleman on a cruise in 2003 when they both were traveling with friends and family.

Hayes introduced himself in the disco, and they sat talking for four hours. They married in 2007 and

started Cruise Elite after realizing they both had a passion for travel.

Aleman’s family had moved to Miami, and she first gained her love of travel on an airplane between the two cities.

The couple had their wedding on a cruise and say they have now been on more than 100. They still enjoy traveling with family.

Their travel experience helps them plan trips for customers, arranging connections and also stepping in when things go wrong.

“That’s why she won,” Hayes said. “She does it all.”

Aleman received the 2017 Beyond Boundaries Award from

ONE CHOICE OF POTATO CHIPS

During Hispanic Heritage Month, Aleman thinks about how grateful she is that her parents made the decision to come to America.

“My life would be much different,” she said. “Life is still controlled there.”

A relative was able to visit from Cuba, because of her job, and was amazed when she saw the variety and amount of food in the grocery store.

“They have one brand of potato chips in Cuba and you take it or leave it,” Aleman said.

She also took her relative to Wal-Mart, where she stocked up on light bulbs.

Travel to Cuba was more open for a while, but the Trump administration clamped down.

“That was a mistake, because they were learning capitalism,” Hayes said.

Aleman enjoys sharing her love for travel.

“It’s nicer to invest in memories than buying things,” Aleman said.

Awareness alone is not sufficient to prevent human trafficking, and, to succeed, prevention strategies require a data-driven approach that guides collective action across local agencies and institutions, tailored to the specific vulnerabilities and needs of individuals and communities.

The recent passage of House Bill 851 establishes a direct support organization for trafficking survivors; increases training to better identify and aid victims of human trafficking for law enforcement, hotel workers and medical professionals; and develops a database of traffickers and those who solicit sex.

Human trafficking for labor and sex is one of the most disturbing forms of human rights abuse. Despite protection under the Federal Victims of Trafficking and Victims Protection Act of 2000, an estimated 293,000 children in the U.S. are currently at risk for commercial sexual exploitation.

Schools play an important role in promoting student health and well-being — an essential step in preventing, identifying and addressing trafficking of minors.

For example, school-based programs focused on promoting healthy relationships and preventing adolescent dating violence provide the opportunity to discuss sexual and labor exploitation as another form of violence against adolescents.

TRAIN WRECK? 5:25 a.m. — Intersection of Hand Avenue and Florida East Coast Railway DUI. A 22-year-old Tallahassee man told police officers — while visibly drunk — that he was the designated driver during a night out with friends.

Officers found the man asleep in the driver’s seat of the running vehicle. He was ordered to turn off and exit the vehicle. He agreed to perform the standardized field sobriety exercises, which he failed. He was arrested.

BE RIGHT BACK 10:28 p.m. — 200 block of East Granada Boulevard Petit theft. “You’re coming back, right?”

That’s what a local pharmacy retail store clerk asked a 24-yearold woman after she walked out of the store, setting off the security alarm. A police officer had been in the store at the time,

as part of his patrol, and he saw the woman try to purchase a few items at the register. Her card was declined, however, and she appeared to make a phone call.

The woman placed a large red purse on her shoulder and left the store, telling the clerk she would be coming right back in.

The reporting officer followed her outside and spotted her fleeing.

He began to chase her, and the woman screamed as she ran away.

The officer eventually caught her and placed her under arrest.

In her purse were several cosmetic items and a pair of sunglasses, totaling over $86 worth of merchandise. A meth pipe was also found.

Police also found text messages on her phone indicating the woman hadn’t been working alone. There were several others in the store in on the crime, and one text message stated to “keep eyes on the purse” as the woman dropped it while she ran from the officer. She was taken to jail.

Ormond to ask for ECHO grant for MacDonald House repairs The Ormond Beach Historical Society has pledged to contribute $100,000.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

A unanimous vote by the Ormond Beach City Commission triggered a sigh of relief from members of the Historical Society at Tuesday night’s meeting, as the commission agreed to let the city apply for a county ECHO grant to restore the MacDonald House on the society’s behalf.

The city received the request from the Historical Society on Sept. 26, according to a city memo. Due to the ECHO grant requirement of a long-term lease, the Historical Society couldn’t apply for the grant on its own. However, the organization pledged to contribute $100,000 toward the application.

The MacDonald House dates back to 1903 and is one of the oldest remaining structures in Ormond Beach. The city purchased the building in 1979 and has restored part of the building along with community partners, the memo states.

However, it is still in deep need of repairs, including improvements to the tower roof, wall renovations, removal of asbestos and lead paint, as well as siding repairs. The grant application is

meant to help kickstart the multiphase project, which could cost between $700,000-800,000.

The city would match the Historical Society’s contribution in the hopes of receiving a total of about $305,000 in both ECHO and city funding.

“I think this is fantastic,” City Commissioner Dwight Selby said.

“I appreciate the Historical Society stepping up and doing this.”

The city is also planning to budget $400,000 in the 20202021 fiscal year to further fund renovations. If it receives the

ECHO grant, repairs could start in October 2020.

City Commissioner Susan Persis commended Historical Society President Bonda Garrison on the organization’s efforts to save the MacDonald House.

“I know you’ve worked really, really hard.” Persis said. “So, it looks like it’s all going to come together. I’m proud of you.”

If the city isn’t awarded the ECHO grant, the Historical Society’s $100,000 will be returned within 30 days.

Won’t back down

Ormond Beach residents Gayton, Peck lead Father Lopez XC Father Lopez runner Samantha Gayton.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

S

amantha Gayton has always had the desire to be great.

She just needed a little extra push, the motivation to propel her to the finish line and beyond.

Gayton, an Ormond Beach resident, ran for Spruce Creek’s girls cross country team the past three seasons. She excelled in her junior year last season and was one of the Hawks’ top runners. However, the majority of the Hawks best runners graduated that year.

Father Lopez Catholic High School piqued her interest. And most notably, so did the Green Wave’s four-year letter winner Claire McDonnell.

Gayton transferred to Father Lopez in August, just before the start of her senior year.

“I was inspired by how hard Claire worked and how hard this team worked,” she said. “I really wanted to train with them. I wanted to hop on the bandwagon.”

Gayton and fellow Ormond Beach resident Mary Peck, a sophomore at Father Lopez, have made moves so far this season, becoming some of the Green Wave’s top competitors.

Peck, who has been running for three years, joined the team

her freshman year. She, too, was motivated to get better. She learned how to practice and how to finally feel comfortable in the heat of a race.

“It was great to finally have a team to run with,” she said.

“Everyone pushes each other.”

The team is like family. It’s a theme that is reiterated by coaches and players alike.

“We’re like sisters,” Gayton said. “The team has been great for me. They’ve been really supportive. I wish I could have made the decision to transfer sooner.”

Green Wave head coach Sue O’Malley has coached cross country for the past 27 years, the last 15 of which have been at Father Lopez.

She’s never had more fun coaching a group of girls.

“They’re the most hardworking, most dedicated group of young ladies that I have ever coached,” she said. “They sacrifice for each other. They’re always there to pick each other up.”

The girls know where they want to be by season’s end, and that’s at the state championship with an opportunity to place as high as possible.

“We all know it’s possible for us,” Peck said. “We just have to go out there and push really hard to get it.”

“We don’t back down from a challenge. We’re going to continue to work hard. I’m just working as hard as I can to be as strong as I can for the rest of this season.”

Seabreeze (4-3), winners of its last two games, lost to New Smyrna Beach 13-3 the night of Friday, Oct. 11, at the New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex.

The Sandcrabs’ defense came to play Friday night, keeping the score 6-3 in the Barracudas’ favor at halftime.

The Barracudas scored the game-deciding touchdown with 4:46 to play in the fourth quarter.

The Sandcrabs were held back by several key penalties that prevented them from scoring, including a 45-yard run by 210-pound running back Otis Walker that was called back due to holding.

However, Seabreeze head coach Pat Brown was still pleased with his team’s effort.

“It was a great game,” he said.

“Our boys played hard.”

A wide array of options are available for golf cars at Tee Time Golf

GOLF CARS GROW IN POPULARITY TeeTime Golf Cars, 1510 N. U.S. 1, celebrated 15 years in business on Oct. 11. When it opened, it was the first golf cart dealer/mechanic shop in the area and has grown steadily, according to Pat Appolonia, sales and marketing manager.

Golf car communities such as Margaritaville and Plantation Bay continue to create a demand. Owner Dale Sheppard said he knows some people in golf car communities that don’t even own a car. They like the ease of getting around.

“When you’re in a golf car, it’s open, you can talk to you neighbors,” Sheppard said. “You can’t do that in a car.”

Dogs also love to ride in them.

“Some people buy them just to drive their dogs around,” he said.

They are also used in cities.

The federal government, in an effort to conserve energy, wrote laws allowing “low-speed vehicles” on streets with less than

35 mph speed limits in the 1980s.

The LSVs require headlights, seat belts and other equipment that make them “street legal.” Since that time, some communities, such as Flagler County, South Daytona and Holly Hill, have written ordinances with their own requirements for street golf cars.

Service is a big part of the business at TeeTime, as well as customization. TeeTime offers lift kits, back seats, cargo bed and many other options. In addition to golf courses, the golf cars are used at apartment complexes, condos, schools, hotels, etc.

They are available in gasolinepowered or electric, and Sheppard said the new option is lithium batteries, which has advantages such as no maintenance.

They sell both EZ Go and Tomberlin golf cars, new from the factory or reconditioned.
