Halifax Health admits 39 during Biketorbest

Halifax Health reported a record number of 39 patients with trauma admitted as a result of Biketoberfest, held Oct. 19-22.

This is an increase from last year’s number of 33 Biketoberfest-related admissions. Of the 39 people admitted this year, 19 were wearing helments. Nine were Volusia County residents, 13 live in Florida and 17 were from out of state.

“The beautiful weather we experienced over the weekend most likely contributed to a slightly larger crowd for Biketoberfest,” said Lindsay Duffy, director of Emergency and Trauma Services, in a press release.

More men than women were admitted into the hospital due to Biketoberfest.

Of the 39, 31 were men.

One person died. He or she was wearing a helmet, according to Halifax Health. “ We all work to provide access to critical lifesaving care for the residents and visitors in the area,” Duffy said. “This is our busy season, and we know that many people depend on the Halifax Health team to be there with exceptional care when they need it most.”

The city of Ormond Beach celebrated the opening of its new gym at the Joe and Ellwillie Daniels South Ormond Neighborhood Center on Monday, Oct. 23.

The need for an additional gym was first advocated by the Leisure Services Advisory Board in 2019, and the city awarded a $1 million construction contract to Saboungi Construction, Inc. in 2021. A grant of over $235,000 by the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District helped fund the project.

“The South Ormond Neighborhood Center is a beloved facility, and this new gym expansion is only going to add to what is already a fantastic

gathering place for our community,” Mayor Bill Partington said during the ribbon-cutting.

Volleyball, pickleball and basketball are among the sports that will be available in the new gym.

Former Ormond Beach City Commissioner Rick Boehm, who helped secure the grant by the Daytona BBeach Racing and Recreational Facilities District, was also present at the ribbon-cutting. He said that he was motivated to push the project forward because of his memories practicing on the outdoor courts with his son during cold months.

“It just dawned on me a few years thereafter ... that Ormond Beach

could use another indoor recreation facility, built so the kids and now the adults, could come indoors and play and practice and get the benefit of what an indoor recreation facility can do,” Boehm said.

Partington also thanked Joe Daniels for his love for SONC, located at 176 Division Avenue.

“Every brick laid, every beam set, and every ball that will be dribbled here carries the echoes of his passion and commitment,” Partington said.

“This center thrives today because of the foundational work he did over the years, and this new gym is a beautiful reflection of that commitment.”

Volusia County is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations interested in becoming a certified Community Housing Development Organization.

CHDO certification is necessary to become eligible for some HOME Investment Partnerships Program opportunities to expand affordable housing and “strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing by publicprivate partnerships,” the press release states.

Applications due by Nov. 17. Contact Dudley Joseph at 386-736-5955, ext. 12211, or djoseph@volusia.org.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WOULD NOT SOLVE SENATE BILL 250 ISSUE, CITY STATES

Entitled to build?

A sign protesting Belvedere Terminals’ proposed fuel farm at 874 Hull Road stands on Airport Road in Ormond Beach.

Belvedere Terminals says it plans to build three storage tanks in Ormond, with no intentions to expand.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

For the last two months, a proposed fuel terminal at 874 Hull Road in Ormond Beach has caused residents to voice their anger and frustration to elected officials regarding the plans for the facility, which will be in close proximity to residential communities, the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and the Ormond Beach Sports Complex.

But Belvedere Terminals Chief Financial Officer Tim Schwarz said that the plans discussed — the 16 tanks with a storage capacity of 20 million gallons of fuel — are not accurate. The facility Belvedere Terminals plans to build in Ormond Beach, he said, would actually consist of three main tanks with about 300,000 barrels of fuel storage on site, or about 12.6 million gallons.

The air construction permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection was filed asking for the maximum capacity, Schwarz said.

“We’ve spent a lot of time studying the market, sizing the facility to meet the demand, both now and in the future,” Schwarz said. “So we don’t have any intention of expanding it, and that’s the right size for the location. Three tanks, 300,000 barrels of storage.”

Belvedere Terminals, which is based out of St. Petersburg, has spent between $3 million and $4 million on engineering and design work for the development of the Ormond Beach property, he added. From their perspective, they believe they have been transparent with their plans for the fuel farm, and highlighted the fact the property at 874 Hull Road is zoned for a fuel storage site.

“We followed the rules and are now developing the site and I think people feel like somehow that wasn’t right,” he said. “We never hid anything. We were very transparent with what we did, and so our intention is to con-

“We want to give people a chance to express their concerns directly to us and engage in a conversation about it. We think once people really understand exactly what it is and the state of the technology that’s being employed and the size of the facility, it’ll go a long way to easing people’s concerns.”

TIM SCHWARZ, Belvedere Terminals Chief Financial Officer

tinue to — notwithstanding some of the things that we’ve seen, the county resolutions or the city resolutions — we believe we are entitled to build this and we are going to continue to do that.”

Ormond Beach resident Robin Magleora, who has helped organize the citizen opposition to the project along with resident Elena Kraft, said Belvedere Terminals is “currently in PR crisis mode” because the issue has gotten a lot of press attention.

Residents are continuing to email county, city and state officials about the issue, she said.

“Our goal is to fight this, and we will continue to work as a group to fight it,” Magleora said.

Kraft said Schwarz makes the reduction in tanks seem significant, but with 13 million gallons of storage, the facility would still be a “massive fuel storage operation.”

“All of the concerns that we had were dismissed,” Kraft said. “They were ignored. It was just very disappointing ... they have not engaged with the community at all, like zero engagement, and then they basically came out and said, ‘None of your concerns matter.’”

ORMOND BEACH PROPERTY MET BELVEDERE’S CRITERIA

Conversations have taken place with county officials where Belvedere Terminals stated it is open to listen to suggestions about alternate sites.

The site would need to meet their criteria: It has to be contiguous to the railroad, be of “appropriate” acreage and be zoned for heavy industrial.

“This property met all of those criteria,” Schwarz said. “We have

Since becoming aware of the proposed fuel farm, both the community and city officials have voiced opposition to the project due to its proximity to the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and nearby residential communities.

not found another parcel that works for this area. We think the region — Volusia County and Ormond Beach — is ideally suited for this type of business. Leave aside where it’s located, the distance from the ports and the risks and disruption to supply, this would be a great resource for the area, which is why we came here.”

Schwarz said Volusia County staff recently approached the company and told them an alternate site may have been located.

“I don’t know whether it’s viable or not,” Schwarz said. “I don’t know anything about that. I think those conversations are going to be taking place within the next week.”

Belvedere Terminals’ goal is to be operational by 2025. It aims to invest about $750 million in the state as it constructs 10 fuel terminals, with the first sites being in Jacksonville, Ft. Pierce and Ormond Beach.

The Ormond Beach site would add 20 to 30 high-paying jobs to the area, Schwarz said.

At its Oct. 17 meeting, the Volusia County Council approved two motions regarding the proposed fuel farm at 874 Hull Road.

The first was to discuss amendments to the North U.S. 1 Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement with the city of Ormond Beach, in hopes the city could circumvent consequences from Senate Bill 250, signed by the governor in June. The bill prohibits local governments located within 100 miles of anywhere Hurricane Ian or Nicole made landfall from proposing or adopting “more restrictive or burdensome amendments to its comprehensive plan or land development regulations.” The bill also prohibits local governments from proposing or adopting “more restrictive or burdensome procedures concerning review, approval, or issuance of a site plan, development permit or development order” before Oct. 1, 2024.

But the city of Ormond Beach said the county’s proposal wouldn’t resolve the issue with the bill.

“The county cannot transfer to the city jurisdiction of the fuel farm property for the county’s desired purpose because that act alone would constitute a ‘more restrictive or burdensome procedure’ concerning development of the lands; and such act (i.e., approval of an ordinance authorizing a change to the interlocal service agreement for the purpose of allowing more restrictive or burdensome regulations) would be ‘null and void ab initio’ and would have no legal effect under SB 250,” City Attorney Randy Hayes said in an email to the Observer.

Additionally, the purpose of the interlocal service boundary agreement, Hayes said, is to transfer the jurisdiction over lands in the county deemed suitable to the city for annexation and the provision of utilities. If annexed into the city, Ormond would have to give the property a zoning similar to what it had in the county, even if the city eliminates its I-2 “heavy industrial” zoning district.

“The city commission has already determined that it will not provide utilities to the land and it will not annex the land,” Hayes said. “Therefore, the land is not suitable for inclusion in the interlocal service boundary agreement because it does not meet a fundamental purpose of the agreement.”

Hayes added that the city “continues to support the county in its efforts to resolve issues related to the fuel farm within the county’s jurisdiction.”

Initially, Kraft said she was happy with the motion made by Councilman David Santiago because he posed it as a way to deal with the limitations of SB 250. Now, she’s frustrated at the back and forth between the county and the city.

“I am very disappointed because now we (the residents) are left kind of in the middle,” she said. “The city says, ‘We’ve done everything we could,’ and then the county now basically has passed on this responsibility to the city.”

Residents need better representation and defense against SB 250 from both the city and the county, she said.

“They’re saying, ‘Our hands are tied,’” she said. “But I think it needs to be challenged.”

SAFETY CONCERNS REMAIN AT THE FOREFRONT

Schwarz said he understands citizens are concerned with safety, but said that it’s an aspect Belvedere Terminals is also “adamantly focused on” and for which it has plans to implement technology to prevent disasters.

“People talk about older facilities — facilities in the ‘80s or built in the ‘60s or ‘70s that had accidents occur,” Schwarz said. “We’ve got 50 years of experience now in designing these in a much better way that’s much safer.”

Any incidents would be contained on site, he said, citing technology such as a built-in foam suppression system in the tanks and a non-permeable membrane slated for underneath the fuel farm to prevent spills or leaks.

“I think people envision kind of a Hollywood-level explosion and then things extending beyond the site and that’s their worst fear,” Schwarz said.

“That isn’t reality. That’s not going to happen. That’s not what would happen with any of these facilities. If a fire were for some reason to occur, all of our suppression systems are designed to immediately kick in and put the fire out.”

Belvedere Terminals may state the company will implement state-ofthe-art technology, but accidents occur, Magleora said. Plus, the fuel delivery by rail car and 160 trucks on Hull Road pose safety risks as well, she added.

“It’s not just the terminals themselves,” Magleora said. “It’s the amount of tankers that are going to be on the road. If one was to overturn and it spilled fuel into our water-

ways, causing environmental disaster. A train derailment coming into Ormond Beach would be an environmental disaster carrying all that fuel for not only Ormond Beach but for Volusia County. So it’s not just the safety of the facility that we have concerns with. It’s with the whole entire operation of the facility.”

Kraft said that with Belvedere Terminals being a new company, it cannot guarantee there are no risks involved with their design. Better safety mechanisms may exist today compared to decades past, she said, but it doesn’t eliminate all of the risks.

“There’s been plenty of examples of accidents that have occurred in other parts of the country with newer facilities,” she said. “Again, things like a lightning strike, how are you going to be able to prevent that? A major hurricane, a fire ... You cannot prevent risk from those things fully. So he needs to acknowledge that his operation comes with risks and that’s just a fact.”

Belvedere Terminals is not trying to hide its plans, he said, adding that the company would be willing to hold open meetings if necessary to listen to residents’ concerns and speak about the company’s proposal.

“We want to give people a chance to express their concerns directly to us and engage in a conversation about it,” Schwarz said. “We think once people really understand exactly what it is and the state of the technology that’s being employed and the size of the facility, it’ll go a long way to easing people’s concerns.”

“All of the concerns that we had were dismissed. They were ignored.

It was just very disappointing ... they have not engaged with the community at all, like zero engagement, and then they basically came out and said, ‘None of your concerns matter.’”

County Council disagrees over enhanced sexual offender, predator ordinance

MANAGING EDITOR

An ordinance pursuing increased residency distance requirements for sexual offenders and sexual predators in unincorporated areas of Volusia County is moving forward — but with resistance.

The Volusia County Council approved two motions on Tuesday, Oct. 17, related to County Councilman Danny Robins’ “Safer Volusia” initiative, both by a 5-2 vote. The first motion directed staff to bring back an ordinance increasing the existing distance requirement dictated by Florida Statute prohibiting sexual offenders and predators from living within 1,000 feet from schools, daycares, parks and playgrounds to 1,500 feet. Councilman Don Dempsey and Chair Jeff Brower voted against, citing concerns about eliminating available housing for these offenders on the west side of the county.

“I was talking about this in my campaign when I ran for state attorney, so yeah, it’s no wonder that I lost, because again, it doesn’t sound politically correct to say, ‘We need to back off just a little bit on these sex offenders. It’s rather, ‘Let’s get the torches and the pitchforks out and let’s get them.’ That’s the politically correct way to get elected or reelected.”

DON DEMPSEY, Councilman

Volusia County Councilman Danny Robins.

“If you’re asking for sympathy for me over 500 feet, ladies and gentlemen, you’re not going to get it,” Robins said. “I’m sorry. To me, this is common sense legislation.”

He also highlighted the fact that he’d received letters of support from the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, State Attorney R.J. Larizza’s office, and the police chiefs of South Daytona, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Port Orange and Ormond Beach.

Dempsey said it’s not a “politically popular” position to take in an election year to show perceived leniency toward sex offenders.

“I was talking about this in my campaign when I ran for state attorney, so yeah, it’s no wonder that I lost, because again, it doesn’t sound politically correct to say, ‘We need to back off just a little bit on these sex offenders,’” Dempsey said. “It’s rather, ‘Let’s get the torches and the pitchforks out and let’s get them.’

That’s the politically correct way to get elected or reelected.”

The “tough on crime” approach will force some of the offenders into homelessness, Dempsey said.

Brower said it should be a simple issue because they all care about children.

“This should be a slam dunk ... but I’m worried about the unintended consequences,” Brower said.

The first motion approved by the

council also directed staff to bring back residency data on how many rental properties will be eliminated should the distance requirement be increased to 1,500.

CREATING A NEW FEE

As part of Robins’ “Safer Volusia” initiative, the council also voted 5-2 to pursue a fee schedule for registrations for sexual offenders and predators, with an administrative fee study to support the new fee.

Dempsey and Councilman Troy Kent voted against.

Robins said while sex offenders and predators already have to register with VSO, there are costs associated with processing applications.

“The paperwork, the printer ink, the desks, the computers, the tracking, the man hours — all of this creates a burden on the taxpayer that we, as a council, have the ability statutorily to charge for those services,” Robins said.

Councilman Matt Reinhart said fees are collected for other applications, like building permits and vehicle tags.

“Right now, the taxpayers that are not guilty of these things are paying for it,” he said. “... Things take time and money, so we’re just trying to offset those costs.”

Dempsey argued that sex offenders and sexual predators pay court

Robins’ initiative also sought to establish a “designated children’s play area.” This would prevent all adults 18 and older who are not accompanying a child from entering or lingering in a playground if there are children present. This motion failed 6-1, with Robins being the only vote in favor.

The rest of the councilmen thought this restriction wouldn’t necessarily increase safety for children, as sexual crimes can occur anywhere, and thought it would harm residents who want to enjoy parks. Councilman Troy Kent asked what would happen if two high school seniors wanted to go to a park. Under the ordinance, they would be banned from doing so if there were other children present.

“We’re criminalizing innocent behavior,” Kent said. “I think about those two 18-year-old seniors, still in high school, who we’re going to criminalize them going to a public park and swinging on a swing? Or God forbid, they want to go down the slide.”

Robins’ initiative also included a proposal to add cameras in county parks and playgrounds, but he opted to hold off on making a motion, citing that he wanted to collect more information.

costs, including a monthly cost for probation supervision.

“It’s not like the taxpayers are footing the bill for all their supervision,” he said. “I mean, they do pay, and I would only point out these sex offenders are given pretty onerous conditions for sex offender probation. It’s not like typical probation, so now we’re just adding more of a burden to them.”

According to data provided by the county, the increased distance requirement would result in a loss of 1,895 units or 6.1% of the total 30,926 residential units available to sexual offenders and predators today.

The Volusia Sheriff’s Office reports there are 1,267 registered sexual offenders and about 120 sexual predators in the county.

Dempsey, a former prosecutor, said he and Assistant County Attorney Russ Brown spoke with a probation officer who told them that the increased distance requirement would eliminate two of the three existing apartment complexes on the west side of the county whose landlords are willing to rent to offenders.

“If this passes, this is not just a 6% reduction in housing,” Dempsey said. “This wipes out the entire west side.”

Most cities in Volusia County have increased distance requirements for sexual offenders and predators. In Ormond Beach, they cannot live within 2,500 feet of churches, schools, parks, daycares, playgrounds, the library, recreational facilities, bus stops and the beach.

Only in unincorporated areas of the county, the city of Pierson and the town of Ponce Inlet (which doesn’t have a school) can offenders and predators live within 1,000 feet of schools and daycares. Ponce Inlet prohibits them from living within 2,500 feet of parks and playgrounds.

The county and Pierson adhere to the state’s 1,000 feet requirement for parks and playgrounds.

Robins, a former police officer for the Daytona Beach Police Department, said the ordinance would not apply to sexual offenders and predators who are currently living within 1,500 feet of a designated facility; it would only apply to those who look for housing after the ordinance takes effect.

The ordinance would also make an exception if the offender or predator was a minor when he or she committed the offense and he or she was not convicted as an adult, or if a facility was built within the 1,500 feet of their residence after they moved into their home.

Crisis alert badges let teachers District priorities: FTC, teacher certifications Flagler school district call police, initiate lockdowns The is also looking for help from The system lets all school staff in Flagler silently contact law enforcement in case of an on-campus crisis.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Flagler Schools teachers and staff are now able to click a button on a wearable badge to alert responders to an emergency or even lock down the school.

The district switched vendors this year to comply with Allyssa’s Law, named after a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. The law required all Florida public schools and charters to implement an advanced mobile panic alert system by the 2021-22 school year.

Flagler Schools has switched to the CENTEGIX Safety Platform.

The system enables all school staff to silently contact law enforcement in the case of an on-campus threat or crisis.

The CENTEGIX platform has been installed in all nine district schools.

The company has trained all schoolbased administrators, who in turn have trained their personnel.

At an Oct. 17 School Board workshop, Tommy Wooleyhan, the district’s safety coordinator, told board members that 1,500 crisis alert wearable badges have been sent out to school employees. He said an additional 150 badges were requested for personnel who visit the schools regularly.

If there is a medical emergency or physical disturbance, anyone with a badge anywhere on campus can click the button three times, and designated school responders will be automatically directed to the scene.

In the case of an extreme emergency such as an active shooting, a staffer would press the button repeatedly, which would initiate a hard lockdown of the school, activate CEN-

the Legislature to secure its five-year capital plan with new sharing requirements.

TEGIX alarms throughout campus and summon law enforcement. “(Flagler County Sheriff’s Office) road deputies will receive the alert through 911, and the cavalry’s coming,” Wooleyhan said.

The system does not require cell phone service, Wooleyhan added.

The platform’s implementation has been funded by the county’s half-cent sales tax.

Currently, one third of Florida’s school districts, including Volusia, use the CENTEGIX platform.

Imagine School at Town Center, Flagler County’s only charter school, has also switched to CENTEGIX, Wooleyhan said.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Flagler County School Board agreed to present three requests to the state legislature heading into the 2024 legislative session.

The school district is requesting $1.6 million for a local project to expand the facilities at Flagler Technical College to support more students and programs. The money would add three classrooms and two bathrooms to FTC. The other two requests focus on statewide issues that are critical to Flagler County: emergency temporary teacher certifications for critical shortage areas and funding to secure the district’s five-year capital plan to account for additional requirements to share capital outlay with charter schools.

“(Flagler County Sheriff’s Office) road deputies will receive the alert through 911, and the cavalry’s coming.”

Superintendent LaShakia Moore told the board that the request for temporary certifications “is paramount.”

She said that while the district can now place teaching candidates out of their field for a year, there are some candidates who have applied for positions who don’t have degrees in an area that would allow for any level of temporary certification.

“If they would up that, that would help us tremendously,” Moore said.

“It’s a priority when we think of staffing of schools.”

The third request is important locally because Flagler County has a higher percentage of students in charter schools than the average.

A five-year glide path builds the

school districts’ sharing percentages by 20% per year. But the state could provide other revenue to all districts to limit the impact. Flagler Schools has not adjusted its capital plan since the law was passed.

“It would ensure that we can continue to move forward with the items that are on our five-year capital plan with additional dollars shared with our charter school,” Moore said.

A fourth request, which was eliminated, would have asked for increased funding to provide competitive salaries to FTC instructors who have other opportunities in the private sector.

“It’s a need,” Moore said. “But I would ask, have we done all we can locally to address this area?”

She said there is already a lot of money earmarked for career and technical education, and the district first needs to see if it can shift funds before it includes the request in a future legislative platform.

Board Chair Cheryl Massaro noted that the issue needs to be solved in the future if the Legislature approves the FTC expansion project.

“We’re going to need more employees,” she said.

Blockwork on Matanzas building to end by Nov. 1 The central energy plant is almost finished, and site work for a new multipurpose building is well underway.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Blockwork on the new Matanzas High School building that will house a construction lab and a new media center is expected to be completed

by Nov. 1, said Chuck Coates, the expansion project’s manager.

Work began on the school’s $22 million expansion in late July. The

new central energy plant is also nearly finished, Coates said, and prep work is proceeding for the new multipurpose pre-engineered metal building which will be adjacent to the current athletic fieldhouse.

Coates said the multipurpose building, which will support athletics and PE programs, is scheduled to be delivered on Dec. 4, with assembly expected in mid-December.

Coates and Kory Bush, the district’s director of plant services, gave the School Board an update on the project at a board workshop on Oct. 17.

Bush said owner-direct purchases have saved the district over $140,000

on the project.

The school’s construction class has had monthly walkthroughs on the Building 5 site, which will house the construction lab, career technical education classrooms and a second-floor media center, replacing the current media center that will be converted into additional cafeteria space.

Coates said the construction students have been very eager.

“Each week we meet with them,” he said.

H.A. Contracting Corp. is leading the project, which is expected to be completed in 2025.

to walk away, the officer reported.

When the officer called for him to stop, the man refused, saying he “didn’t do anything,” the report states.

Once he was able to get close, the officer noticed the man’s breath smelled of alcohol. The man was detained as other officers arrived for backup.

The reporting officer then spoke with the couple involved, who said the man had been verbally harassing them and trying to provoke a fight.

The man was taken to jail.

The reporting officer took note of the incident while driving in the area. He saw that the man was “in a fighting stance” with his hands raised about 2 feet away from a man who was being held back by his girlfriend, according to a police report.

The officer stopped to break up the altercation.

As the officer approached, the man took his backpack and began

BEWARE OF THIS MAN 6:50 a.m. — Intersection of Division Avenue and South Old Kings Road, Ormond Beach Indecent exposure. An Ormond Beach woman called police after a man rode past her on his bicycle while masturbating.

“We are working with our partners at the Drug Enforcement Administration on this important program,” Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. “Collectively, we have kept hundreds of pounds of unwanted prescription drugs from harming our ecosystem through improper disposal methods and hopefully we have kept some prescription drugs from getting into the wrong hands.”

the man — suspected to be in his 30s or 40s — said “Good morning” to her as he continued to pleasure himself. He then asked her, “Do you like it?”

The woman told police she had seen the suspect in the area before, and described him as a white man wearing a baseball cap, glasses, and a dark shirt and shorts. She wished to pursue charges if he was identified.

THE ‘DARK WEB’ 6:25 p.m. — First block of South Laurel Creek Court, Ormond Beach Suspicious incident. An Ormond Beach resident was just trying to invest in cryptocurrency. What he got in return was threats.

Police report that, two months ago, the resident and his wife’s cryptocurrency investment failed, according to a police report. Since then, they have been receiving calls from unknown people threatening to leak their personal identifying information on the “dark web.”

Because the couple hasn’t been impacted financially, police told them to continue blocking unknown callers and monitor their financial accounts.

A couple days later, the man called police again and informed them that one of his social media accounts had

STATE BRIEF Florida denies defying federal judge in trans health care case Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration on Wednesday, Oct. 18, disputed allegations that it has defied a federal judge’s decision in a battle about state attempts to block Medicaid coverage for transgender people seeking hormone therapy and puberty blockers.

TOO FAST AND FURIOUS 11:56 p.m. — First block of Untermeyer Place, Palm Coast Reckless driving, fleeing and eluding. A 20-year-old Palm Coast man was caught speeding at 123 mph and attempted to hide from a Sheriff’s Office deputy by parking in the driveway of a vacant home, according to his arrest report.

The Sheriff’s Office deputy clocked the man’s Audi going 123 mph on Seminole Woods Boulevard.

The car wove through traffic and fled from a patrol car when a deputy tried to pull it over, the report said.

The car turned down a residential street, and the deputy turned off his emergency lights and began patrolling the neighborhood and side streets, the report said.

The deputy found the Audi parked in the driveway of a clearly vacant home, with the driver and the driver’s 14-year-old brother inside.

blockers and cross-sex hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria.”

The attorneys contended the state has continued to enforce the rule in “complete defiance of the judgment.”

But in a 10-page response Wednesday, lawyers for the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration argued the state is not enforcing the rule as a “categorical ban” on coverage for the treatments. That is because Medicaid patients could seek variances or waivers of the rule through an administrative process.

In the Oct. 4 filing, attorneys for the plaintiffs called such arguments a “red herring” and said, for example, that the Agency for Health Care Administration has told Medicaid managed-care organizations to deny coverage for such treatments.

Most Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in managed-care plans.

“In short, the denials of coverage and instructions to MCOs (managed-care organizations) are categorical, and defendants

BUCK WILD 5:41 p.m. — First block of Wedgwood Lane, Palm Coast Disorderly intoxication, exposure of sexual organs. A Palm Coast man was arrested after he pulled down his shorts, exposing his genitals, to prove he did not have a weapon on him, according to the man’s arrest report.

Sheriff’s Office deputies had first found the man in the road, arguing with a woman.

The man began yelling at the deputies to “charge him” and challenging them to fight him, the report said.

The man was clearly intoxicated, the report said, and kept screaming, pacing and swinging his arms like he was preparing to fight.

Then, for seemingly no reason, the man said, “where’s my weapon, nowhere,” and pulled his pants down, showing the neighborhood his genitals.

The man pulled his pants back up and told the deputies, “take me down,” the report said. The man then laid down on his stomach and allowed the deputies to arrest him.

The man had a blood alcohol content of 0.129.

have announced their intent to continue to enforce this categorical ban ... despite this court having deemed it unconstitutional and unlawful,” the plaintiff’s filing said.

The lawsuit was filed last year on behalf of two transgender adults and the parents of two transgender minors after the Agency for Health Care Administration adopted the rule. The lawsuit was updated this spring to also include a new state law aimed at preventing Medicaid coverage for the treatments.

Hinkle in June ruled that the law and the rule violated constitutional equal-protection rights, a federal Medicaid law and a federal Affordable Care Act prohibition on sex discrimination.

The state has appealed Hinkle’s decision to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals DeSantis and other Republican leaders across the country have made a priority in recent years of trying to restrict treatments for people with gender dysphoria.

What is tinnitus? And how do I get rid of it?

Tinnitus is the perception of a sound that has no external source. Patients will report “ r i n g i n g ”, “ h u m m i n g ”, “buzzing”, and “crickets”.

It can be constant or come and go, it can be soft sometimes and loud other times.

Although there is no external source for tinnitus, it is not a phantom sound- there is real neural activity in your brain that you are hearing as your tinnitus. While tinnitus typically begins with a hearing loss, it is not exclusively an auditory problem. It is a result of neurological changes within the auditory system and within the parts of the brain that influence conscious attention and emotional state.

No single explanation applies to all cases, but the process outlined below describes one of the more commonly accepted theories about what causes tinnitus. When the natural balance is upset by a hearing loss, the neurological activity is altered, and this altered activity is then interpreted by the brain as sound.

This results in whistling or ringing sounds commonly known as tinnitus.

Tinnitus most commonly results from hearing loss caused by exposure to exces-

sive or loud noises, however, it can also be caused by aging, ototoxic drugs, temporal-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ), depression, anxiety, Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, ear infections, or even wax in the ear. Normally, background neurological activity in the brain is covered up by everyday sounds. Neurological changes may then cause the perceived sound to be more noticeable and disturbing. For some people, the presence of tinnitus is troubling, and so the brain treats it as a threat and focuses on it, increasing awareness. This “increased awareness” can lead to stress, resulting in further enhancement by the emotional centers of the brain, and further amplification of the tinnitus.

Although there is no cure for Tinnitus, the good news is there are sound therapy treatment programs that can significantly reduce tinnitus

After your evaluation, your doctor will review a comprehensive treatment plan customized to your needs. Many patients find relief after just a few sessions, however if more comprehensive intervention is necessary, that is also available. Most insurance companies, including Medicare, do not cover tinnitus treatment, however

Additionally, the brain can try to compensate for the hearing loss by “turning up” the sensitivity of the hearing system. This not only amplifies the tinnitus but can also make ordinary sounds

uncomfortably loud for some people (hyperacusis), further adding to stress and anxiety. The result is a cycle of symptoms that can be self-reinforcing, leading to progressive worsening of the tinnitus over time. These factors have made tinnitus very difficult to treat in the past.

PCAF to unveil two final turtles Friends of the PAC form Jazz Society ‘COVID just did us in,’ said PCAF Executive Director Nancy Crouch.

The jazz society, which has about 20 members, is the brainchild of Lucy Jackman, president of the Friends of the PAC.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

The Palm Coast Arts Foundation will likely dissolve by the end of the year. But first, two new turtle sculptures will be added to the Turtle Trail.

PCAF President Sam Perkovich announced the decision to dissolve the 20-year-old nonprofit in a press release on Oct. 17. Executive Director Nancy Crouch said in an interview with the Observer that PCAF will probably officially close down by the end of 2023.

The foundation couldn’t bounce back financially after it was required to close because of COVID-19, she said.

“It is sad,” Crouch said.

“Twenty years of trying to get something developed in Town Center — with a lot of great movement — but COVID just did us in.”

The foundation focused on bringing in entertainment that Palm Coast residents may not have had the chance to experience before, she said — an opera star, jazz and blues performers, and, of course, the Jacksonville Symphony.

“We did some really creative things,” she said. “It was just really a great thing. We were just always trying to bring in different entertainment.”

Before it shuts its doors, PCAF will unveil sculptures number 20 and 21, the last two under PCAF’s direction, for the Turtle Trail, Crouch said.

Sculpture 20 will be unveiled at 4 p.m. on Nov. 1, at Central Park behind City Hall, Crouch said, and Mayor David Alfin will be there to accept the turtle on behalf of the city.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR Photo courtesy of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation

Renny the Turtle will be unveiled in the beginning of November.

Sculpture 20 is sponsored

by Mike Morello of Mike Morello Inc. Air Conditioning & Heating. It has a rural America theme and takes a “whimsical approach to the American Gothic painting of Grant Wood,” Crouch said.

Sculpture 21 is sponsored by Intracoastal Bank and will be unveiled at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, at the Intracoastal Bank on Palm Coast Parkway.

The turtle was created by Lisa Fisher and Nancy Zedar and is themed after French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

It is nicknamed “Renny” after the artist, Crouch said.

The Turtle Trail will continue with the Flagler County Cultural Council, under Crouch’s continued direction.

Crouch is transitioning to co-chair the Cultural Council, an umbrella organization uniting numerous arts, history and cultural groups, the PCAF press release said.

“It’ll be a seamless transition,” Crouch said.

The PCAF site will continue as a cultural events space through the city of Palm Coast, the press release said.

At an Oct. 17 City Council meeting, the council approved a partial release of covenant restrictions on the site to allow the city to take over maintenance of the stage.

Crouch said that even in these two years since the pandemic, PCAF struggled to recover without event revenue. The foundation had no more paid staff, and it was hard to get volunteers to return.

“When you rely on your operating budget from event revenues and you don’t have events for over two years ... it kind of does you in,” she said.

In the press release, Perkovich credited the success of PCAF to its members, donors, volunteers, event guests, the art community, the city, county and state, the Jacksonville Symphony and PCAF’s board.

She told the Observer she will continue promoting the arts at United We Art. “[United We Art] is just getting started,” she said. “So look for more to come.”

Between her work there and Crouch at the FC3, the two will be able to work together to support the arts, Perkovich said. Perkovich said that PCAF never got the full buyin it needed from local organizations to continue to grow, including the goal of building a roof over the PCAF stage.

“The arts are a multi-billion dollar entity in Florida, but we just don’t support them very well here in Flagler County,” she said. “Our elected officials all need to do better.”

The Friends of the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center are looking to jazz things up in town.

Six months ago, the nonprofit organization formed the Ormond Beach Jazz Society, a new arm of the Friends of the PAC, whose mission is to promote jazz music through both community performances and educational outreach.

The society is the brainchild of Lucy Jackman, president of the Friends of the PAC. She used to play piano in her high school jazz band, and in college, she sang with a jazz group for a time.

“That created my interest, but depending on where you live, you don’t have that access to jazz,” Jackman said.

Friends of the PAC board member Chancey Durham, who owns Dante Productions, said the jazz society was born from both the need for affordable jazz shows in the area and love for the music by people like Jackman and PAC Supervisor Marc Schwartz.

“Jazz is not dying, but in some areas it is,” Durham said. “So Lucy came up with the idea, ‘Let’s do something about that.’”

Durham joined the Friends of the PAC two years ago. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he lived on a block where 90% of his neighbors were musicians.

“I had no talent,” Durham

said. “So because I was one of the neighborhood kids, they gave me a talent. They said, ‘You run the business for us.’”

He learned all the “back office” skills — marketing, publicity, etc. Dante Productions has five bands, including the Divas of Jazz, which play locally.

The PAC is no stranger to jazz music. Before the building’s remodel, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra had performed several times at the PAC. “I have a real love for that music because it is uniquely American,” Schwartz said.

“Big band jazz, and jazz in general, is very much more respected and admired outside of the United States.”

Schwartz’s father played the coronet, so as a child, the music of many great jazz trumpet players filled his home. As an adult, he worked for some time at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City, where he got the chance to work with and listen to some of the biggest names in jazz music.

“Jazz is a universal musical language that people all over the world welcome and enjoy,” he said. “And so, I think it’s an essential centerpiece in any performing arts venue to have jazz performances on a regular basis.”

From the beginning of the $1.7 million renovation, a project the Friends of the PAC first pushed for about seven years ago, Jackman’s intent for the building was to create a cultural center in Ormond Beach.

“That really is the goal — and that’s what it should be,” Jackman said. “Because we have an art gallery, and we bring in every art: music, dance, drama and etc. This could be a gold mine for the

city.”

A cultural gold mine, added Durham.

Dante Productions, which has been helping in getting more members for the Jazz Society at its events at Cinematique in Daytona Beach, is aiming to showcase the history of jazz in a musical play next year, to be shown at the PAC. The Jazz Society now has about 20 members.

The Jazz Society’s biggest sponsors are 31 Supper Club and Rose Villa, where it has held membership drives. On Nov. 15, the Jazz Society will hold a membership drive from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at 31 Supper Club.

There is no opening date yet for the PAC, because construction is ongoing, but Schwartz said that once it reopens, it’ll be an economic asset for the city.

“Cultural assets are really important decision influencers for people that are deciding where to locate their businesses, because they want their staff to have access to cultural amenities like museums and performing arts centers,” Schwartz said. “... Arts and culture are economic drivers, and a performing arts center in particular is one that invites people for overnight stays.”

Schwartz remains excited about the renovations to the PAC. When it reopens to the public, it will look like a brand new building, inside and out.

The project is currently working on a new shade structure on the exterior of the building, which Schwartz said will help to create a welcoming environment people will associate with the arts.

“This is making an important visual statement that this is a building that serves a cultural purpose,” he said.

THE OBSERVER | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2023

BRIEFS River-to-Sea Preserve closes for sand project Marineland’s River-to-Sea Preserve will be closed as part of the final stage of Flagler County’s emergency sand dune restoration project.

The park closed Monday, Oct. 23 and will be closed on the weekdays until Thanksgiving, when the work is expected to be completed, according to a press release from the county. The southern half of the preserve’s parking lot and the restroom facilities will be open from 5 p.m. on Fridays through Sunday evenings.

Crews are using the west side of State Road A1A across from the preserve as a staging area and will access the beach from the east parking lot. Flagler County Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley Wren-Key said the park will be closed while the contractor is using the Riverto-Sea Preserve.

This northern section will complete the emergency dune restoration work, the press release said. The work is funded through emergency funding for Hurricane Nicole.

“This has been a long process, and we ask for everyone’s continued patience,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “We apologize for the inconvenience. We know our residents and visitors love to visit our beaches.”

Founders Day festival coming to Holland Park

Celebrate the Palm Coast Historical Society’s annual Founders Day celebration in Holland Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28. This free family-friendly event coincides with the 10th anniversary of the opening of the first PCHS museum in 2013.

Those hungry for knowledge can explore 200 years of local history, beginning with a mock archaeological dig of St. Joseph’s Plantation, a timeline of the dynamic decade of the 1970s when International Telephone and Telegraph changed the landscape of Flagler County, and two dozen outdoor exhibits by community groups that shaped our culture for nearly 50 years.

Music by DJ Vern of Surf 97.3 will provide music from yesteryear.

Those hungry for food can choose from five different mobile vendors including Andrea’s Italian Ice, Ramon’s Kitchen, Sweet Sheila’s Funnel Cakes, Somethin’ Different Catering, and The Wandering Hoagie.

Don’t miss PCHS historian Elaine Studnicki discussing the history of Palm Coast canals or local author Tim Baker sharing the inside scoop on his detective novels set in Flagler County. Retired firefighters will reflect on major milestones throughout their careers.

Interact with members of the Garden Club, Scenic A1A, King’s Road Historic District, African American Cultural Society, Flagler Humane Society and more.

Emergency director addresses House

Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord was invited to address the Florida House Select Committee on Monday, Oct. 16, for the second time this year about hurricane resiliency and recovery.

Lord emphasized that the $100 million set aside for the Department of Environmental Protection for beach recovery and renourishment “was a generous start,” and urged the committee to continue to make it a priority in the com-

ing year.

Lord asked the Florida House Select Committee for the following: Emergency Management Preparedness Assistance and Trust Fund – increase what is provided to all counties for planning, training, personnel costs, equipment, and Emergency Management operations, which has been unchanged for 20 years Create a similar program to the State Chief Financial Officer’s “My Safe Florida Home” program that would be floodcentric instead of addressing wind mitigation Build on the FEMA mitigation program that allows homeowners in flood-prone areas to elevate their homes or potentially sell them to local governmental agencies to be returned to open space.

Prioritize disaster sheltering options – other than local schools – for growing counties with demographic profiles that do not support adding to the inventory of schools.

City seeks volunteers for cleanup event

Help keep Palm Coast litterfree by joining the city’s “Keep Palm Coast Clean” litter pickup event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Volunteers will meet at the Public Works Department at 1 Wellfield Grade, just off U.S. 1. Multiple roadways are designated as focus areas for the event.

Awards will be given out and each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion and be recognized as a “Litter-Free Ambassador” for their role in the Litter All Effort.

The city will provide gloves, trash bags and refreshments.

Individuals or groups interested in volunteering can send an email to Solidwastedivision@ palmcoastgov.com.

Attempt to fit Essie Bass in photo goes haywire Mother says mannequin shouldn’t have been used as a temporary stand-in for her daughter, who has leukemia.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Get ready to SCREAM with fright as the Palm Coast Fire Department’s Hall of Terror returns to give you spooky scares. This event is free. Located at Fire Station 21, visit Mon, Oct. 30 & Tues, Oct. 31, from 7-10pm.

Three to See

Shannon Gutierrez wanted her daughter Essie Bass to be a part of Flagler Palm Coast’s senior class panoramic picture, even if she couldn’t be there in person.

Essie, who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2016, had a bone marrow transplant on Aug. 31 and was back at Nemours Children’s Health in Jacksonville.

The school’s attempt to have her included in the panoramic photo on Tuesday, Oct. 24, briefly blew up on social media and angered Gutierrez.

Evana Fretterd, FPC’s activities director and Student Government Associa-

tion advisor, asked the photographer from Cady Studios how Bass’ likeness could be included in the picture.

FPC Principal Bobby Bossardet said the photographer suggested using a mannequin head as a placeholder, with the studio later embossing her image into that space.

A student, who Bossardet said is a friend of Essie’s, held the mannequin head next to his face for a selfie and posted on social media, “we’re going to put essie in the photo.” A commenter, who Bossardet said was not in the building, wrote, “i would be so (mad) if I was replaced by a mannequin head.”

Gutierrez, who said she had suggested in an email to Fretterd to use a likeness of Essie that she has on a canvas board, was upset to see that comment and others and felt that Essie’s classmates were mocking her daughter, who had been on chemo up until Aug. 22.

“Why would you use a mannequin when I gave you an option? My daughter is bald.

But Bossardet said the student who posted that photo did not have bad intentions.

“He was Essie’s best friend growing up, supposedly. He was going to send her the picture,” Bossardet said, adding, “Everyone who reposted or has it on their story has taken it down. They said, ‘We didn’t put it up to be negative.’”

Bossardet said Fretterd was very upset by the sequence of

Cowart left the home in a blue Chevrolet as the father called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

While talking to an FCSO deputy, the victim said she left home to stay with her boyfriend, another minor, according to the report. Cowart had also stayed at the home for the previous two days and drove them and other teenagers around town.

The victim told the deputy Cowart had made several sexual advances towards her

events.

“I know (Gutierrez) wrote Evana an email,” Bossardet said. “Evana’s not an expert either. She followed the lead from the professional photographer.”

Bossardet said that Fretterd and the SGA have organized many Essie Strong days. On the morning of Essie’s transplant surgery, he and Superintendent LaShakia Moore had a FaceTime call with Essie, and students dressed in orange held up signs that said #Essie strong.

“That was SGA-sponsored,” Bossardet said. “Evana sent out an email blast saying, ‘Everyone wear orange tomorrow.’”

Gutierrez said Essie had been readmitted because of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures.

“This whole situation couldn’t have happened (at a worse time),” she said. But she later posted on Facebook that they are going home.

“I will have a bigger update soon!!! But we are going HOME, like Palm Coast Home!!!” she wrote.

and repeatedly touched her thighs and chest even after she told him to stop.

When FCSO deputies found Cowart’s Chevrolet and pulled him over, the deputies asked Cowart about the girl. Cowart denied touching her, but changed his story multiple times, with the deputies catching him in several lies, according to the report.

Cowart is being held at the county jail on $38,000 bond.

BETTY BOLES CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY

Betty Boles celebrated her 100th birthday on Oct. 17, surrounded by friends, family and music.

Boles was born in Scroggins, Texas in 1923 and moved to Palm Coast in 2013. Now she lives at Sabal Palms Assisted Living, and the attendants threw Boles a birthday party to celebrate her big day.

The best part of her party?

“All of the attention I’m getting,” she said, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes.

Boles spent 40 years playing the piano at her church and loves music from the 1940s and ‘50s. She spends

her days at Sabal Palms playing bingo and going to physical therapy. She uses a walker, but her goal in life is to be able to walk again without it, she said.

Karen Boles comes to visit her mother every day. She said she was so happy to be able to celebrate her mother’s 100th birthday.

“It’s amazing,” she said.

“I’m so thankful to have her.”

In loving memory, we announce the passing of Regan Kendrick Santry. Regan’s life was a testament to the beauty and power of creative expression. A lifelong artist deeply influenced by his love of the ocean, he found solace and inspiration in its embrace. His younger days were marked by the joys of fishing and surfing on Long Island’s South Shore, activities that forged an unbreakable bond between him and nature. Regan’s art was not only a reflection of the spirit of the sea but also a window into his gregarious nature. His life and love of people and nature offer glimpses into the passion and tranquility that inspired him.

Beyond his art, Regan’s legacy lives on in the memories of his friends and family. Regan was predeceased by his parents Philip Santry and Judith DiPrinzio Santry and his brother Jeffrey. He leaves behind his sons, Maxwell and Liam, and brothers Christopher, Thomas and William, all of whom will remember him in their hearts.

Regan was born and raised in Massapequa, NY, attended Massapequa High School and ultimately settled in the Flagler Beach FL area.

In keeping with Regan’s wishes, we plan to hold a memorial ceremony in Flagler Beach so loved ones can

gather to reminisce and celebrate his remarkable journey. Details regarding the specific time and location will be provided in due course. If you are interested, please send an email to cbsantry@me.com. Let’s come together to honor the life and spirit of “Raggs,” a soul whose inspiration was as profound as the sea he adored.

Regan’s family have entrusted his arrangements to Clymer Funeral Home & Cremations of Palm Coast, FL. Condolences may be left at clymerfuneralhome.com.

LETTERS Tomoka Oaks questions Dear Editor: Where do developer property rights end and Tomoka Oaks adjacent property rights begin? What adverse impacts will result from building 272 homes on the former golf course? How are 60-foot and 80-foot lot widths compatible with Tomoka’s surrounding 100-foot lot widths?

Will 2,774 additional vehicle trips a day compromise traffic safety? On streets not designed for such traffic volume? How will the extra traffic impact intersections at Nova Road and at State Road 40? Will hurricane evacuations be impeded?

How will fire trucks navigate a single-entrance subdivision with narrow streets? Has FDOT confirmed a date certain for installing a traffic signal at the Nova RoadTomoka Oaks intersection?

What happened to the original written covenants that protected the Tomoka Oaks golf course? Why did the city zone the golf course “residential” instead of “open space recreation”? Do implied, unwritten protective golf course covenants, upheld by federal courts, apply to Tomoka Oaks?

Does the project ignore a city land use goal to preserve natural open

space in urban areas? How many trees will be cut for this development? What will become of countless wildlife species?

Why compromise a water retention area deemed vital by the St. John’s Water Management District?

Will extra stormwater runoff from impervious roofs and paved surfaces be captured? Can the planned retention protect the Tomoka River, a Florida Outstanding Waterway?

Will digging up the golf course turf release chemicals, airborne toxins and toxic runoff?

What quality of life hardships will be imposed during five years of construction buildout? Is this fair to Tomoka Oaks residents who have paid premium property taxes for over 60 years? Will squeezing a subdivision inside a subdivision depreciate Tomoka Oaks property values?

Why did the Planning Board unanimously recommend denial of this proposed rezoning? Is this proposal an example of “the ever-present threat of overdevelopment” Ormond Beach historian Alice Strickland warned about in her 1980 book, Ormond-on-theHalifax?

If fire codes and public safety limit the number of people who can occupy a building, then why can’t we place legal limits on new development that seeks to occupy an established community, over-

“Magic of Lights brings the joy of the holiday season to life, and we love being able to share that joy at The World Center of Racing,” Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher said. “We pride ourselves in being a place for friends and family to come together, and to do so in such a unique and colorful way, especially this time of year, is really special.”

While inside their own vehicle, guests will enjoy Magic of Lights’ classic holiday favorites including Winter Wonderland, the 12 Days of Christmas, Toyland, festive Elves and Reindeer Road. Guests can also stop and take Santa photos for a magical experience.

Other illuminated displays include the 32-foot-tall animated Mattel’s Waving Christmas Barbie, Prehistoric Christmas featuring life-sized dinosaurs celebrating the season, and a BIGFOOT Monster Truck.

A new augmented reality feature will be introduced this year too,

the crème de la crème in dollar store Halloween decor.

But now, it seemed, full moon was fading on my favorite paper friend.

“Hang in there, buddy,” I told him, curling a strip a blue painter’s tape in a loop, pressing it to the back of his leg then re-sticking the limb onto his hips. “Stay with me.

You’re gonna make it.”

He snarled at me like old pals do and, whole again, we both went back to our busy lives: me, working and cooking and wondering if they still make Hi-C Ecto Cooler (and if so, why it’s absent from my pantry), and him, hanging there, trying his best to scare off monsters, unaware that he’s one himself.

The first time I saw him, over a decade ago, we locked eyes from across the discount shop. I was

whelming roads, schools, hospitals, and greenspace?

Will these questions be answered when Ormond Beach residents attend the Nov. 7, 6 p.m. City Commission meeting at Calvary Christian Center, State Road 40, west of I-95?

First Amendment rights Dear Editor: A fundamental constitutional right of every voter is to have the ability to address grievances to the government. Current procedure of Volusia County Council meeting agenda items is: A Q&A; between county staff and council members, then council discussion (five minutes each, with multiple opportunities to speak again), then comments from the public limited to a maximum of three minutes, and then sometimes more discussion by council members before a vote.

During council member comments at the Oct.17 Volusia County Council meeting, Councilman Troy Kent stated his hope to hear comments from the public prior to council’s discussion on the agenda items. I agree with him — that is a good thing.

However, the public isn’t pro-

in the Spam department. He was in Halloween-Shaped Junk You’ll Wanna Keep Forever. And our connection was undeniable. I had a roommate then, and we displayed him prominently in our rental — a sign to outsiders that even though we were house people now, we were still young and kitschy and fun. Then when I bought a place of my own, my werewolf traveled with me, just like he did when I got married, and then again when my wife, stepdaughter and I moved into our second home. That’s where he hangs now, right in the living room, tethering me to a former version of myself, to a past I barely recognize.

“The zombie’s leg fell off again,” my wife, Rebecca, said, shuffling into the kitchen.

I stopped chopping onions and set the knife down hard. “Um, you mean the werewolf?!” I said, stunned at her utter lack of empathy (or basic monster knowledge).

She opened the fridge. “Yeah, whatever.”

“WHATEVER?!”

I marched right in to see him, this time with masking tape, and again I

vided an opportunity to comment on amendments to agenda items or decisions made during closing council comments. For example, the decision to move the allotment time for when the public may comment on agenda items.

I was reminded of the Ormond Beach City Commission meeting in February 2019 when I (and other residents) spoke during public comment to add a term limit question to the special election ballot. I was pleased when the City Commission adopted the request. However, the way the ballot question was worded required other election questions to pass as well to provide for term limits. I would have loved to speak to the way the question was worded because it was not the single-issue, term limits-only that was the intent of the public. The election results showed two-thirds in favor of term limits, but the will of the voters was not implemented due to the contingent ballot measures failing.

My hope is that both the Volusia County Council and Ormond Beach City Commission (and governments elsewhere) adopt procedures to enable the opportunity to exercise First Amendment on substantive government body decisions.

looped it, pressed it, held it until the leg stuck to his hips. Then the next day, a denim-clad Lycan limb slid into the dining room, stuck under the wheels of our robo-vacuum.

“Look how they massacred my boy,” I cried, cradling the leg in my arms and looking to my werewolf for answers. He snarled at me the way family does when they know they can’t help you anymore and it’s time for them to go.

Every moment Rebecca and I have shared during every October since I’ve known her, my werewolf has closely monitored, a sharp-toothed Big Brother watching over us, casting judgement on our conversations.

Should we buy, sell, settle, grow, fight or forgive? I’d defer to my werewolf and, usually, he’d communicate with his yellow eyes a sentiment along the lines of, “Only if it doesn’t interfere with our thing.” And I liked the security in that, the idea that you can stay close to youth by simply staying away from change.

After the third time fixing his leg, though — this time with duct

tape — only to find him amputated again the next morning, I knew “our thing” had run its course.

“Au revoir,” Rebecca said, as I folded my werewolf up and laid him to rest in our trashcan. No goodbyes or goodnights exchanged. Just a monster transformed again by moonlight, this time into garbage.

DSC EXPANDS ITS ‘VETS CREATE’ PROGRAM

Daytona State College has expanded its scholarship-supported Vets Create program to include more art classes.

Veterans and their family members can sign up for ceramics, painting, drawing, design, photography, dance, theater and music courses during the upcoming spring and summer 2024 semesters.

“I have witnessed first-hand the therapeutic qualities of the arts, the camaraderie created in a communal studio and the physical and mental benefits of the ceramic medium,” said Trent Berning, chair of the Mike Curb College of Music, Entertainment and Art, School of Humanities, and associate professor of ceramics.

“I am excited to expand our offerings as part of the Vets Create programs to include all of our studio arts classes for our veterans and their families.”

Designated as a military-friendly institution, Daytona State enrolls more than 1,100 veterans each year.

Funding for the program is provided via a grant from The Margaret McCartney & R. Parks Williams Foundation, which was established in 2001 with funding priorities centered on education, veteran rehabilitative services, and the prevention of cruelty to children.

Veterans interested in being part of the program must submit a paper detailing their interest to Trent.Berning@DaytonaState.edu and must qualify for in-state tuition.

Rooted in tradition: Seabreeze hosts homecoming alumni reception Seabreeze held its first alumni reception for graduates from years ending in ‘3s’ on Oct. 19.

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mini quiche, sliders, 1963 jazz and memories were all part of the first Seabreeze alumni reception held for graduates of the years ending in three—1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003 and 2013.

The event was held in the Seabreeze cafeteria and catered by the school’s Academy of Culinary Design on Thursday, Oct. 19. The reception was the brainchild of Seabreeze Principal Tucker Harris. It came to fruition through the organizational efforts of his administrative assistant Jeanette Oberst and the culinary program.

Academy chef Hannah Offenberg was in the culinary program at Seabreeze for four years and graduated in 2013. She attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Offenberg said it is sometimes referred to as “Hogwarts” for its castle-like appearance.

She decided to return to teach at her alma mater.

“I became a chef, then decided to come back to help the program because it was dying and needed help,” she said. “So, I was like, ‘I’ll stay for a year or two and help out.’

But five years later, I’m in love (with the program). It’s exciting.”

Offenberg based the reception menu on specialty items her class used to serve at most of their events from 2009-2013. Quiche and sliders were usually the go-to.

“Now that it is full circle, I wanted to bring that back to life,” she said.

“I put my own spin to a few things, and a few things I’m sure alumni will recognize.”

Class of 1993 graduates — Seabreeze ESE teacher Debbie Bradley Gibbens, Volusia County Council District 4 Representative Troy Kent and 1993 Mr. Seabreeze winner Brad Sargent — were in attendance. Gibbens said it was like nothing had changed except they were older.

“The event is a great way for the alumni community to stay involved in our local high school to support future leaders and promote community partnerships,” she said.

Gibbens is part of three generations of Sandcrabs. Her father, Marshall Bradley, graduated in 1965, coached at Seabreeze and was an assistant principal. Her son, Taylor Guinther, graduated in 2016, daughter Karlie Guinther graduated in 2021

Seabreeze Academy of Culinary Design students Peyton Domayer and Haylee Ochipa serve food to alumni at the reception.

and daughter Tatum Gibbens will be graduating in 2026.

“I’m following in his footsteps teaching here,” she said. “Ormond

Beach is rooted in tradition, and our community feels like family.”

Graduates of ‘3’ notables are Jim France, NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation executive from the class of 1963, and Eric Weems, NFL wide receiver and return specialist from the class of 2003.

Following the reception, alumni were invited to attend a pep rally in the gymnasium where the Seabreeze cheerleaders, football players, Marching 100 band and color guard

“I’m certain as the years go on it will take off,” she said. “Mr. Harris is doing a great job including our alumni in the Sandcrab community, since he is a proud graduate himself.”

YOUR NEIGHBORS Symphony in Space

Fifth graders take the stage at the Peabody Auditorium to sing the Star-Spangled Banner before the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra’s Young People’s Concert.

Photos by Michele Meyers

The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra shared its Young People’s Concert with close to 4,500 Volusia County fifth graders on Oct. 17.

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Two groups of Volusia County fifth graders totaling 4,351 students descended on the Peabody Auditorium in Daytona Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 17.

They were there to fill their ears with sounds from the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and Opera Orlando singers, while watching the Orlando Ballet take the stage.

The collaborative performance was part of the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra’s Young People’s Concerts. This is the orchestra’s 31st season of the program, designed to instill knowledge of and love for music in young listeners while entertaining adults as well.

Daytona Beach Symphony Society President Margaret Yaeger believes in the importance of introducing young people to symphonic music.

“Symphonic music soothes the heart,” she said. “We have a YES program — Youth Experiencing Symphony. I’m hoping that children attend our seven concerts this year and grow in appreciation for symphonic music and opera. The symphonic music and opera will enrich their lives forever.”

Every year, the team devises a themed program designed to captivate young audiences with visual effects and interactive antics. This year’s theme is space-based and aptly named “Symphony in Space: A Musical Adventure That’s Out of this World.”

The story line follows the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, which is hosting the galactic games and is in search of an “interstellar superstar.”

A narrating alien named Gamma Ray, troupes of dancing stars and

aliens, and a singing moon that is in love with a self-centered sun all join together to take the audience on a trip featuring old and new composers — Mason Bates’ Mothership, Stella Sungs’ Starburst and Gustav Holst’s Jupiter are a sampling of the pieces played during the concert.

A VIP reception was held for Volusia County Schools district personnel, board members and the business community prior to the performances. VCS Curriculum Specialist John Dupuis thanked everyone in attendance.

“Volusia County Schools supports all of our music programs,” he said.

“We’re lucky in this state that every single school in our school district has music and a lot of our schools in our secondary program — middle school and high school—have dance and also have theater. Music and the arts are alive and well in our district.

We also have a very robust visual art department as well.”

Volusia County School Board Chair Jamie Haynes is thankful her children were exposed to the arts at an early age. She said it is important to provide opportunities like the Young People’s Concerts for all children and get them hooked, with the goal to have them continue with the

arts and experience the arts’ positive impact throughout their lives.

“When we want to build a strong foundation for our children, starting as early as our elementary level, we have to include the arts — music, dance, theater, all of those things,” she said. “I never started a day off in my classroom without music as a part of it. Music is that common force as well as a tool for learning. I want to thank everyone that works together to put this on for all of our children, because some of them would never

have this opportunity to do this.”

A group of fifth graders opened the program by taking the stage and singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Tomoka Elementary music teacher Lilly Kershner had four students participating — Croix Bello, Hailey Lucas, Autumn Clark and Luann Monahan.

Kershner is from Tampa, where she participated in band at Orange Grove Middle School. That is where she learned how to play her favorite instrument — the flute. She teaches her students how to play a variety of instruments, as well as sing. After school, she teaches her wind ensemble, which includes students playing the flute, clarinet and saxophone.

She remembers seeing the Florida Orchestra perform when she was in elementary school. She was a dancer, but said she thought it was cool.

That, and her friend’s persuasiveness, led her to music.

“I think just being in arts in elementary school gives [students] benefits, even if they don’t pursue it,” she said. “I feel like the foundations that music and certain arts teaches carries through the rest of their life. The arts and music teaches you a certain determination and motivation and discipline that not all areas focus on. I feel like just having to practice to be good at something and you to see the outcome and for other people to hear it and it be so universal, then, yes, I think it is very important and it does have a lifelong effect.”

THE FINE ARTS SANTORINI National artist Christina Doelling’s solo exhibition, titled “Blurring the Lines,” will be on display at Ocean Art Gallery from Nov. 4-30.

Doelling fell in love with abstract expressionism while studying art at Skidmore College in New York.

Her work has been featured in home decorating shows on HGTV and several magazines.

“Texture and movement are very important elements in Christina’s mixed media paintings,” a press release by Ocean Art Gallery states. “Her original artwork looks incredible in all environments; whether seamlessly installed in a modern space, or mixed in with more traditional homes, adding a contemporary touch to the walls, and a fresh update to a room.”

The opening reception for her exhibit will take place at the gallery, located at 197 E. Granada Blvd, from 3-7 p.m. during the Ormond Beach Art Walk on Saturday, Nov. 4.

Seabreeze launches offensive assault to rally to a 36-14 homecoming victory

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Seabreeze scored 33 consecutive points against Atlantic in a 36-14 takedown on Friday, Oct. 20, at the Sandcrabs’ homecoming football game.

Seabreeze improved to 3-5 with its second win in a row.

“I knew it (the transition) was coming,” Seabreeze head coach Lester Davis said. “We have been holding it back, holding it back. I wanted to start fast but, unfortunately, we did not. The first half was just us getting settled. When it was 10-14, I just said, we have been here before.

There’s nothing to be worried about.

We just came out the second half and executed, executed, executed.”

Atlantic quarterback Kuasie Kwaku Jr. threw two touchdown first-half passes — one to wide receiver Ayden Corley in the first quarter and a 57-yard pass to Pres-

ton Kuznof in the second quarter. In between Atlantic touchdowns, Davis needed some points on the board and sent in Seabreeze kicker Drew McNerney for a 32-yard field goal.

Seabreeze quarterback Hayden Hayes’ helped shift the momentum in the Sandcrabs' favor with a 41-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Landon Smith late in the first half.

“We were never fazed and never flinched,” Hayes said. “I knew we were going to come back. We owned the ocean tonight. All credit to the defense. They led tonight — they balled out.”

The Seabreeze defense recovered two Atlantic fumbles in the third quarter. Defensive end Gio Mitchell stripped the ball off Atlantic’s Kwaku as linebackers Alex Capua and Logan Smith assisted with the tackle. Linebacker Jesse Shirley and defensive end Brody Boda followed up with the second forced fumble in

the quarter.

Shirley’s name was announced after critical plays throughout most of the game. He had 13 tackles, and he blocked a punt, picked up the ball and returned it near the Sharks' 10-yard line. He said once he starts, “he loses his mind and lets his skill take him on the field and play the game.

“We practice all week and you just have to come out, pursue and do your job, that’s it,” he said. “You have to trust God and there you go. We are all a family, we play hard and we love each other. Shout out to the LBs — Alex (Capua) and Dylan Hayes. You know we’re coming back stronger next week.”

The first fumble recovery initiated a Seabreeze drive which wrapped up with a 14-yard Hayes touchdown pass to running back Denali Campbell. Smith had the second touchdown reception followed by a 2-point conversion after the second fumble recovery.

Once again, Campbell played quarterback intermittently, taking the snap on multiple occasions and rushing downfield. He said he got more excited as the game progressed.

“There’s been a lot of talking and a lot of action,” he said. “Me and my boys, we move in silence. We don’t really do all that talking. We had to come out here and show them. I showed them what I was about.”

Every week, a guest speaker talks to the team during halftime. At this game, Shirley’s father played the song “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

“Our coach repeated (part of the lyrics) ‘tonight is the night, we’ll fight ’til it’s over,’” Campbell said.

“With two turnovers (in) the second half, they (defense) definitely helped us win this game. Without them, we wouldn’t have won. Defense did their job, we (offense) capitalized. Everything worked in tandem.”

AIDEN FORD, Seabreeze guard and center

“That’s what we did at the end of the game. We didn’t stop fighting.

We will never flinch. I want to thank the coaching staff and all my players for not giving up.”

Offensive lineman Aiden Ford said he had three to five pancakes. He also briefly made a foray on defense. He had one tackle and another for a loss in approximately 10 defensive plays.

“With two turnovers (in) the second half, they (defense) definitely helped us win this game,” Ford said. “Without them, we wouldn’t have won. Defense did their job, we (offense) capitalized. Everything worked in tandem.”

The Sandcrabs finished strong in the fourth quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run by Hayes and a final score by Ty Cordare.

Davis said the defense woke up against the Sharks and believes if they do the same against Mainland, there will be a show. He smiled as he shared a few words for Mainland coach Travis Roland.

“Tell Travis Roland — meet me at the 50,” he said.

Seabreeze and Mainland are scheduled to meet in their rivalry matchup on Friday, Oct. 27, at Daytona Stadium.

MAINLAND BLANKS OSCEOLA Mainland defeated Kissimmee Osceola 22-0 on Thursday, Oct. 19 to improve to 8-0.

On Oct. 20, Mainland defensive lineman L.J. McCray, a five-star recruit, announced that he will play football for the University of Florida next year.

The Buccaneers shut out their opponent for the third straight game. If was their fifth shutout in eight games this season.

Quarterback D.J. Murray ran 80 yards for a touchdown and tossed a 45-yard touchdown pass to E'zaiah Shine. Khamani Robinson scored on a 22-yard run.

Trick for a treat Matanzas holds off Clay in a district football battle.

The Pirates’ Daniel DeFalco (6) takes a direct snap and gains the first down with 42.6 seconds left to secure the victory against the Blue Devils.

The Pirates’ Landon Grover boots a 46-yard punt in the second quarter.

Matanzas tight end Daniel DeFalco received the lateral pass from quarterback Dakwon Evans, faked a run to draw in the safety and threw a perfect pass to Andre Andrews for a 30-yard touchdown.

It went just the way the play was designed, and it gave the Pirates a 24-14 lead against Clay High with 1:45 left in the third quarter. Matanzas went on to win the district battle 24-21 on Oct. 20 at home to help solidify its spot in the Class 3S football playoffs.

The Pirates (6-2) were ranked fourth among Region 1-3S teams before their win against the Blue Devils (4-4). Matanzas has two regular-season games remaining, beginning with a district showdown at northern neighbor Menendez (3-5) on Friday, Oct. 27, before closing the regular season at home against Winter Springs on Nov. 3.

Against Gainesville a week earlier, DeFalco underthrew his receiver on the same play and was intercepted.

Matanzas Pirates fans cheer for their team in the Pink Out Student Section.

The senior also threw an interception earlier in the game against Clay. But his coaches never lost confidence in DeFalco’s ability to execute the trick play at a critical point in the game.

“We’ve been practicing that,” Pirates coach Matt Forrest said.

“We practice all of our special plays multiple times during the week. We felt it was the right time to try it again, because they knew our quick screens are a key part of our offense.

It worked out in our favor. Kwon showed composure by giving him a good ball he could handle, and Daniel did a good job selling it, getting the safety to come up. He made such a great throw. We needed a big play, and our guys couldn’t have executed it better.”

DeFalco also caught a touchdown pass as Evans found him wide open for a 69-yard play in the second quarter. Evans and Andrews also hooked up with Andrews catching a screen pass and running 49 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Clay pulled to within three points on Merrick Rapoza’s third short touchdown run with 1:52 left in the game. With 42 seconds remaining, Forrest called on DeFalco to take a direct snap on a fourth-and-2.

DeFalco gained the first down, allowing the Pirates to run out the clock.

“Daniel had to get 2 yards, and he got 2 and a quarter,” Forrest said. “We wanted to end it there. The players wanted to go win it. We could have punted, and we have a great punter

in Landon Grover, but we wanted to control our own destiny.”

Grover kicked a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter after the Blue Devils took an early 7-0 lead.

Matanzas went up 11-7 on Evans’ touchdown pass to DeFalco and Cole Hash’s 2-point conversion pass.

The Pirates’ offense had an upand-down night.

“We’re still waiting on that breakout game offensively,” Forrest said.

“We’re not having 11 guys in sync all the time. We’re making mental errors. We’re putting the ball on the ground.”

Matanzas lost a fumble when it led by 10 in the fourth quarter. The Pirates fumbled three other times but recovered them.

“Our guys on offense know they have to clean that stuff up,” Forrest said. “We’re proud of (DeFalco), and we’re proud of all of our guys.

They’re not afraid of those moments.

We’re turning into a team that finds a way to win.”

“We needed a big play, and our guys couldn’t have executed it better.”

Fun on the green: Matanzas, FPC golfers enjoy season-ending Palm Coast Cup The Pirates won the trophy in the co-ed tournament, with Gazzoli and Parker edging Carlisi and Dodson for low score.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

FPC’s Carmella Carlisi chips onto the green for an easy putt.

Sure, there is a trophy at stake for the winning high school in the Palm Coast Cup. But while the more well-known Potato Bowl provides a year’s worth of bragging rights for the winning football team, golf’s version of the Flagler Palm Coast-Matanzas rivalry is more about camaraderie than competition.

Everything about the Palm Coast Cup is fun, from the scramble format to the co-ed teams, the longest drives and closest-to-the-pin contests and dinner after the match with players from both teams enjoying each other’s company.

“It’s great, because we don’t normally get to the see the girls from our own high school play golf,” FPC’s Wynter Dodson said. “They play on a different golf course.”

Matanzas was the overall winner, 141-164, at the third annual Palm Coast Cup on Thursday, Oct. 19 at Palm Harbor Golf Club.

The top three teams were Alexandra Gazzoli and Londen Turlington Parker of Matanzas at 31; Carmella Carlisi and Dodson of FPC at 32; and Zoe Alred and Trevor Challice of

Matanzas at 33. The teams were picked out of a hat.

The tournament bridges the regular season and the postseason, with district tournaments played on Oct. 23-24.

“It’s fun,” Dodson said.

“Scrambles aren’t too common in high school, so we get to have lower scores because we help each other out.”

Carlisi and Dodson played against Gazzoli and Parker.

“I asked her for advice a lot,” Parker said of Gazzoli, who is the defending girls 2A state champ, the Florida Women’s Amateur Stroke Play champ and a future Florida State University golfer.

“What she would consider a bad shot was great for me,” Parker said.

But Gazzoli said they both had their share of best shots.

“It worked out. I’d hit a bad shot, he’d hit a good shot,” she said. “If he was in the fairway, I would hit driver where usually I would lay off the tee.”

“We’d take turns,” Parker said. “I’d play it safe, she’d play aggressively or she’d play it safe and I’d play aggressively.”

“I loved it,” Alred of the tourney. “It gave us a chance to know the boys team better, to build better relationships.”

Sandcrab girls bowl to fourth district win Seabreeze’s girls and boys teams, FPC’s Emma Pezzullo and Matanzas’ Grant McMillan advanced to the state championships.

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Seabreeze girls and boys finish onetwo in the District 3 bowling championship on Monday, Oct. 23, held at Ormond Lanes. It is the fourth title in a row for the girls.

The girls had three straight baker wins — University 3-0, FPC 3-1, Palatka 3-0. They will be returning to the Boardwalk Bowl Entertainment Center in Orlando for another run at the state championship next week starting on Oct. 31. The Seabreeze boys team also qualified for states this year.

Madison Kuenning was speechless regarding the return to the state championships.

“I mean, I really, really hoped we were going to (go to state),” she said.

“But we did win state two years ago, and we were runner up last year. It’s obviously a taboo topic in our group.

We weren’t going to be cocky about it and we weren’t, but we are happy we made it this year because it is most of our senior years.”

Kuenning said the driving factor behind the team’s success is Brian Beissel — teammate Kara Beisssel’s dad. He started recruiting the girls to bowl when they were 10 or 11 years old. They have been bowling together for seven years.

“I knew when Kara got to high school to bowl, we weren’t going to have any girls, so I started working with all of these girls when they were in fourth grade,” he said.

Four Seabreeze girls placed in the top 10 for individuals. Flagler Palm Coast’s Emma Pezzullo finished first with a 662 series and the district trophy. Breanna Hess snagged second with teammates Kara Beissel placing third, Stacey Spaulding fourth and Hailey Holcomb finishing ninth.

her to the bowling alley just to find out if she liked it or not. She did, and aside from a brief stint in gymnastics, bowling has been her only sport. Next year, after graduating from Seabreeze, Beissel will head to Youngstown State University on a bowling scholarship.

“Being a team made us all come together and realize that, if one of us has an open, then we make sure we pick each other up,” she said. “It hasn’t been the best season (for me) bowling-wise, but friend-wise it has been amazing, team-wise it has been great. Having Breanna (Hess) back on the team has been amazing.”

Seabreeze boys had two baker wins against Spruce Creek and DeLand but lost 0-3 to DeLand in the final rounds. Logan Compton and Brayden Barnes placed fourth and fifth respectively with their individual scores.

Pedro Menendez’s Eli Anckner got the individual district win with a 705 series. Matanzas’ Grant McMillan and Spruce Creek’s Logan Wolak tied with a 692. The two were forced into a rolloff toward the end of the tournament. McMillan won it with a strike and a nine-spare. Wolak’s six on his final frame clinched the trip to the state championships for McMil-

lan.

“I didn’t think I’d won yet,” McMillan said. “I kind of did it in my head, but I’m used to when it comes to bowling math, not being right ... I turned around to the hundred people saying he won before I realized I won, then all of a sudden there’s a whole bunch of fists everywhere and hands.

It was a big relief. I’m done. I finished it. Now I can go home. I have physics homework.”

In June, McMillan was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease site, fibromyalgia can affect anyone, but it ordinarily starts in middle-age people, and the risks increase with age. More women than men get the chronic disorder. At 17, McMillan is in the minority.

He said he grew up playing most sports and got pretty good at them.

He picked up bowling his sophomore year, just before fibromyalgia struck.

It is the only sport he can participate in today.

McMillan said his plan for going PALM COAST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH into the state championship is to control his pain with Tylenol and CONCERT SERIES Austin Weeks, Kaleb Costello and Grant McMillan relax in between games at the Advil.

tournament is an all-day affair.

“It’s rough to go from waking up in the morning and going for runs or bike rides, then to the bowling team and realizing, if I hadn’t joined the bowling team, I would have no idea what to do — I would have noth-

ing,” he said. “When I first joined the bowling team, I stuck around (for other reasons) and ended up falling in love with bowling. Having a team of guys around my age who all enjoy the bowling team as well, is really great.”

On Sept. 30, Anna Nugent completed the Run Matanzas Cross Country Invitational in 23 minutes, 25.8 seconds. Less than three weeks later on the same course, the Father Lopez sophomore improved her time by nearly a minute and a half and won her first race.

Nugent ran a 22:01.4 to collect the first-place medal at the Volusia-Flagler Freshman/Sophomore Championships on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at Matanzas High School. Freshman Connor York of DeLand won the boys race.

“I’ve never placed first,” said Nugent, who is lives in Ormond Beach. “It feels great. My hard work paid off.”

The course wasn’t exactly the same as it was for Run Matanzas due to the construction of a new multipurpose building next to the football stadium.

The new route takes runners onto the baseball field. The course also wasn’t as wet and muddy as it had been for Run Matanzas.

And Nugent ran faster at last year’s Run Matanzas, with a time of 21:53.5.

But she has been steadily improving since joining Green Wave’s cross country team as a freshman. She ran a personal record 21:09.3 at the BaleN-Trail meet on Sept. 23 at Bartram Trail High School.

“I always liked running, but my elementary and middle schools didn’t have any sports,” she said.

After passing Spruce Creek’s Sophia Medina at around the onemile mark, Nugent led the rest of the way. Matanzas freshman Noemi Malinowksi placed second with a time of 22:09.1.

“I was trying hard to catch (Nugent),” said Malinowski, who led the Matanzas girls to a first-place team finish.

Four other Matanzas runners finished in the top 15. Sara Van Buren (23:17.4) was sixth, Lupita Galeano (23:36.8) eighth, Megan Rhee (23:53.6) 10th and Gabrielle Duncan (24:43.9) 13th.

Flagler Palm Coast freshman Audrey Bowman placed fourth behind New Smyrna Beach’s Mya Erwin with a time of 22:21.1.
