Commission to review Tomoka Reserve proposal
CITY WATCH
The Ormond Beach Planning Board will meet on Thursday, Nov. 9, to discuss the deletion of the city’s I-2 “Heavy Industrial” zoning district. The zoning district was created in August to be able to match Halifax Paving’s heavy industrial county zoning, but due to concerns about the proposed fuel farm at 874 Hull Road, the commissioners agreed to delete the new zoning district at their Oct. 4 meeting. The land development code amendment to do so must be heard first by the Planning Board before going to the City Commission for final approval. The Planning Board meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and be held at the City Commission Chambers at City Hall.
JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR
Sheriff denounces fuel farm project Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood has voiced his opposition to the proposed fuel farm project by Belvedere Terminals at 874 Hull Road via a letter to the Ormond Beach City Commission on Oct. 30. “Volusia County has a robust public safety system serving its citizens every day, with trained professionals in law enforcement, fire, EMS, emergency management and many other disciplines working together to deal with the challenges posed by rapid growth,” Chitwood wrote. “However, the large ‘fuel farm’ project Belvedere Terminals is proposing in our community has created a new threat to the sense of safety of all who live, work, and do business in Ormond Beach and surrounding areas.”
Options for 874 Hull Road?
In a statement Tuesday, the city of Ormond Beach said city and Volusia County staff members had met to discuss “cooperative solutions” for the property at 874 Hull Road. “Jointly, staffs are reviewing all legal options to permanently acquire the property, which could include eminent domain,” the city said.

A rendering of what the developers propose the entrance to Tomoka Oaks could look like, if Tomoka Reserve is approved by the commission.
Two years after developers held their first neighborhood meeting, their proposal for a 272-home subdivision at the former Tomoka Oaks golf course will be reviewed by the Ormond Beach City Commission. Anticipating a crowd far larger than the seating capacity available at the commission chambers at City Hall, the commission will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 7, at Calvary Christian Center, located at 1687 W. Granada Blvd. The development — known as Tomoka Reserve — is arriving to the commission with a unanimous recommendation of denial by the Ormond Beach Planning Board,
which held three separate hearings before reaching a decision regarding the 147.94-acre property on Sept. 26. The advisory board’s concerns included incompatible lot widths with the existing Tomoka Oaks community; that the planting plan for the 50-foot buffer was insufficient; that the proposed density was too high; and that the traffic that the new development will generate will negatively impact residents’ quality of life. In turn, the developers — Carl Velie, Ray Barshay, Sheldon Rubin and Emily Rubin — previously stated that they had reached an agreement with city planning staff, which also
recommended denial of the development, on all but two issues: the lot sizes (the city is also suggesting 100-foot-wide lots to be compatible with Tomoka Oaks) and the planting and irrigation plan for the buffer. The developers have proposed two types of lots: 60-foot by 120-foot lots in the interior of the subdivision, and 80-foot by 125-foot lots along the perimeter of the property. The developers also argue that the city’s requirement of a “type six” buffer — the kind typically put in for industrial and commercial developments — was inappropriate.

‘A systemic solution’ FAITH advocates for more affordable housing in Volusia at its community problems assembly. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
The creation of an affordable housing trust fund is justice, said Cynthia Slater, branch president of the Daytona Beach-Volusia County NAACP, on behalf of FAITH, a nonprofit coalition composed of almost 30 religious congregations in the county. On Monday, Oct. 30, FAITH, which stands for Fighting Against Injustice Toward Harmony, held a community problems assembly at Allen Chapel AME in Daytona where it asked candidates running for Volusia County Council chair whether they would help push the county, if elected, to allocate at least $2.5 million of its $55 million unallocated coronavirus relief dollars from the American Rescue Plan Act to begin a local affordable housing trust fund. “We’re not asking the government to solve the affordable housing crisis with their money, but with our money,” Slater said. “Elected officials represent us. In this room, there are people from almost any walk of life you can imagine. It is somewhat of a miracle that diverse political agendas can come together and focus on what we can agree on.” And FAITH’s members agree that Volusia County needs affordable housing. At a County Council meeting on Oct. 3, FAITH members flooded the council chambers in support of the Transform386 Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Action Plan, which dedicated $200 million for housing solutions, including repairing or replacing homes and rental units damaged by Hurricane Ian and dedicating $50 million of the funds to construct new affordable housing units. The plan passed 5-2, with councilmen Don Dempsey and Danny Rob-
ins voting against the plan. “It is time to add more affordable housing,” Slater said. “And we as a people of FAITH are going to continue to work with a systemic solution.” THE STORIES BEHIND THE NEED
Its coalition of congregations — which include Historic New Bethel AME Church, Lighthouse Christ Presbyterian Church, Tomoka United Methodist Church and Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Ormond Beach — held 48 meetings this fall, asking residents what community problems concern them. A total of 127 people shared stories about the need for affordable housing. The assembly also touched on the issues of mental health, criminal justice and flooding. At the assembly, attended by more than 300 people, Fran Owings, of Port Orange, shared her story. After her apartment was flooded by a hurricane a few years ago, she and her grandson lived a traumatic experience when they had to be rescued in the middle of the night. She lost her car, clothes and furniture, she said. Owings and her grandson then moved into an apartment, but soon discovered it was plagued with mold. “Despite multiple requests, management would not fix the problem,” Owings said. “We stayed there for nearly a year because we couldn’t afford anywhere else to go.” When the mold continued to make them sick, Owings said they refused to pay rent and were evicted. They lived in hotels for a time before staying at her sister’s house until it was sold. Her grandson then moved in with a relative, and she began sleeping in her car. Almost half of all Volusia County renters are paying over half of their monthly income on rent, according to FAITH. To afford a one-bedroom apartment, based on median rent, a renter would need to earn over $23 an hour. The fair market rent in the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metro area, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development, is $1,152 for a onebedroom apartment for fiscal year 2024. It’s increased by $89 since fiscal year 2023. According to Rent.com, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Daytona Beach as of Oct. 30 is $1,664. A CALL FOR ACTION
A housing trust fund will support projects that create local housing opportunities to help solve the affordable housing crisis, said Pastor Matt Mello, of Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church in Port Orange. “We know that there are state funds for housing that get raised every year in Tallahassee,” Mello said. “Because this money does not often get to Volusia County, we cannot rely on it as the solution to our problem.” An affordable housing trust fund, FAITH states, would allow Volusia County to control the funding at the local level without having to abide by state or federal guidelines. It would also would attract affordable housing developers. “Currently, Volusia County is a place that gets largely ignored by affordable housing developers,” Mello said. If anything was learned at the assembly, it’s that stories are powerful, said Rev. Floyd Narcisse, of Historic New Bethel AME Church in Ormond Beach. “The stories like these you heard tonight are a call for action,” Narcisse said. “It’s a call for all of us to do something.”
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS
At the assembly, FAITH also installed its 2023 executive committee. The new officers are: Co-chair: Pastor Matt Mello, Our Lady of Hope Catholic Church Co-chair: Jackie Mole, Allen Chapel AME Church Vice chair: Bishop Zannie McNeill, Jr., Daytona Deliverance Church of God Corresponding secretary: Rev. John Gill, Tomoka United Methodist Church Treasurer: George Colby, Our Lady of Lourdes Recording secretary and historian: Anne Marie Casey, Our Lady of Lourdes At-large: Rev.

Nathan Mugala of Allen Chapel AME, who is moving to serve in a church in Lakeland.

WHERE CANDIDATES STAND FAITH invited the 2024 County Council chair candidates to its assembly to publicly disclose their views on affordable housing. Three people are currently running for the seat: Former race car driver and longtime businessman Randy Dye; Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette; and incumbent County Council Chair Jeff Brower. Dye and Burnette both attended the assembly. Brower was absent; he was holding a town hall meeting at Ormond Lakes regarding the proposed fuel farm project. Dye said that, as a member of the Volusia Initiative for Church and Community board, he has been working on the affordable housing crisis for three year and knows it’s a difficult task. “Everybody will nod their head and say affordable housing is a good thing — until it’s right in their backyard,” Dye said. Burnette said part of the longterm affordable housing solution is helping people become homeowners. “When you rent, even an affordable rent, you’re still enriching somebody else,” Burnette said. Dye and Burnette were each asked four questions related to the affordable housing trust fund. Here is how they answered: DO YOU THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND? Dye: Yes Burnette: Yes WHAT LOCAL MECHANISM WOULD YOU PROPOSE TO FUND MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN VOLUSIA COUNTY? Dye: “There’s a lot of things that go on in our county — lots of development. ... Responsible development, accountable development, that’s important. And I think there’s a way that we can ask the developers who are driving up the price of housing to fund affordable housing. I would want to pursue that as these developments — that we can’t stop ... property owners have rights — but we can ask them and actually require them to help fund affordable housing. Burnette: “One, when we ask the developers to voluntarily give up funding, the answer from them is going to be no. So we’ve got to look for other things. It’s going to be a combination of Sadowski dollars ... I’ve served on the Salvation Army Advisory Board for 20 years, and people give endowments and endowments go a long way. We’re talking about developers, we’re talking about a lot more than just developers, but a lot of people with a lot of resources they can offer endowments, that will make this sustain itself for a long time to come.” HOW WILL YOU FIGHT FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND, IF ELECTED? Burnette: “I would say you start with a workshop, but we’ve had dozens of those already. But you’ve got to start with a workshop to get the other individuals on that County Council in the room talking about the issue. One of the big problems of being county chair is you can’t just show up and say I want to do this and have it get done. We’ve seen that the last three years. It doesn’t work that way. You have to collaborate with other individuals.” Dye: “I would agree that the county chair is one vote, so you have to build support. The citizens are the ones that control that. So let’s discuss support and when it comes from all the different parts of the county, then the county council members that are a part of that have really no choice other than to represent their constituents. So one of the things I would suggest to you is that we can also maybe utilize the tax bill that you get in the mail, and we can ask people to support a trust fund.” IF ELECTED, WILL YOU COME TO THE NEHEMIAH ACTION ASSEMBLY ON MONDAY, MARCH 18, AT 6:30 P.M. AT OUR LADY OF LOURDES CATHOLIC CHURCH? Burnette: Yes Dye: Yes

Jeremiah Marschka will ride a used Walmart road bike in the Florida Ironman at Panama City Beach on Nov. 4.
Marschka has been training and raising money for the Flagler County Drug Court Foundation. He regularly broadcasts live on Facebook, sharing stories about his “Ironman Challenge for the FCDC Foundation.” “I reached out to a friend of mine, Michael Feldbauer, a phenomenal man, who helps organize the Flagler Drug Court Foundation,” Marschka says. “I told him, I want to train. I’ll put the hours in, but I want to be able to use this to raise money for what you guys are doing, and the impact you guys are making and that will just add fire, accountability for myself, to train and make sure I get it completed, because now, I’ve told people I’m doing it and I’ve asked people to be a part of something. And I wanted to have more impact than me just coming home. I wanted to show my kids. They see the work going in.” Feldbauer says Marschka’s plans took him by surprise. “I was extremely happy. I’ve known Jeremiah for a long time,” Feldbauer says. “The desire to help the foundation is every bit as important as every dollar that comes in. We’re a 100% volunteer organization. Telling people about us is increasing knowledge of what we are, letting people know we are the oldest non-profit in Flagler County helping people in recovery since 2009.” The Flagler County Drug Court provides an avenue for those arrested on a drug-related felony to avoid prison and receive treatment. The Drug Court Foundation fills in the gaps, helping participants attain their GED, provide job training and life skills and help them with things like auto repair. “We take the burden off their shoulders, so they can concentrate on recovery. And it works,” Feldbauer says. Through grants, the FCDC Foundation has also been providing community education, distributing Narcan, training the Flagler County Health Department on how to administer Narcan and convincing the School Board to store Narcan in the schools. Marschka says his goal is to raise $10,000 for the FCDC Foundation. He tells his followers on Facebook that every little bit helps.
THE SCARIEST PART
Now, he’s in the final days of his training. He and his friends participated in a half Ironman on Sept. 24 in Augusta, Georgia. Marschka finished the 70.3 miles in six hours and 38 minutes. He was happy with the result. His goal at the Ironman Florida is simply to finish. The hardest part about training, he says, is finding the time. He has two young sons, ages 7 and 9. His wife, Brittany, is a sales manager at Daytona Toyota. So, he bought a trainer to turn his bike into a stationary bike, allowing him to train at home in the garage. While his friends were on 100-mile bike rides, Marschka was riding in the garage. “Even just two and a half hours on the bike, there’s always some meal that you’re missing,” he says. While many of the Ironman competitors will be riding bikes that cost $10,000 to $20,000, Marschka borrowed a bike from Matanzas wrestling coach Mike Fries. “I’m mesmerized by some of the bikes out there, but this one’s gong to work,” Marschka says. “It’s a Walmart road bike, to be honest. It’s not the lightest one. But I’ve changed some tires. I made some adjustments as far as putting aero bars on.” The scariest part was the swim, he says. He started with 50-yard intervals at the Frieda Zamba pool. Now, he’s finding a rhythm. He did a 1.2mile river swim at the half Ironman. “I remember the first day I hit 200 yards, non-stop. And I was like, ‘Man, I’m getting it. I’m figuring it out.’ Now I’ll jump in and I’ll go for an hour, hour and a half, non-stop,” he says. “I got to a good point where I’m understanding the breathing pattern. I just was never familiar with it.” He’s also learned about proper hydration and nutrition. “Getting nutrients while your training has been a real learning curve,” he says. “I’ve done some patch tests to see how much sweat I’m losing per hour. So how much salt do I have to be putting back in per hour?” “I’m not the best swimmer or the best bike rider or the best runner,” he says. “But my best quality is the fact that I won’t quit.” “I hope he does really well,” Feldbauer says. “I know he’s worked really hard.”
New Paytas Homes Community in Palm Coast
Kennet Lefkovic, 29, has autism and lacks expressive language. But he’s always been able to express himself through sports. The Palm Coast resident was a standout swimmer at Matanzas High School and went on to become a Special Olympics champion. Now, he’s set to compete in the Ironman Florida triathlon in Panama City Beach on Nov. 4. Lefkovic has already completed a half Ironman at the Ironman 70.3 Eagleman in Cambridge, Maryland, on June 11. His time of five hours, 42 minutes, 39 seconds ranked 520th out of 1,698 athletes. The Ironman 70.3 Eagleman included a 1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bicycle ride and a 13.1-mile run. The Ironman Florida doubles each of those distances for a total of 140.6 miles. When the Special Olympics in Florida added sprint triathlons to its program five years ago, Lefkovic loved it, his mother, Edita Lefkovic, says. But Kennet outgrew the sprint distances. He’s always preferred the longer events. The Ironman Foundation sponsored Kennet at the Eagleman. He was one of six athletes to compete in the newly created Physically Challenged/Intellectual Disability Open Division. Four of the six were Floridians who had competed in Special Olympics events. They all finished the half Ironman. The PC/ID athletes are paired with an accomplished triathlete, who

Jeremiah Marschka would never have been considered a candidate to run an Ironman Triathlon. Marschka, 41, is an ESE teacher and wrestling coach at Matanzas High School. He is a member of the Army National Guard and he played baseball, football and wrestled at Flagler Palm Coast High School, so he’s no stranger to running. But he’s never run a marathon. He had never taken long bicycle rides either. “I grew up in the country on dirt roads, so I never had bikes growing up,” he says. And swimming? “I swam enough to get back in the boat to fish,” he says. Until this year, that summed up Marschka’s experience in the three grueling disciplines that make up every triathlon. He has been training for the past eight months to swim, bike and run the distance at the Ironman Florida on Nov. 4 in Panama City Beach. An Ironman is no ordinary triathlon. A sprint triathlon is usually about 16 miles total. An Olympic triathlon is about 32 miles. An ironman is a total of 140.6 miles. The Ironman Florida begins with a 2.4-mile swim consisting of two loops around the Panama City Beach pier followed by a 112-mile bike ride and finishing with a full marathon of 26.2 miles. Marschka believes in pushing his limits. In July, he stepped into the octagon and fought in a mixed martial arts bout for charity. He has a boxing background, but he has no experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He won the bout. A group of four friends with similar Type A traits convinced Marschka to sign up for the Ironman. The group includes Blake Wall, who grew up with Marschka in Flagler County. Wall now lives in Asheville, North Carolina. The others are friends from the military and college. This past year and a half, the friends were training to run a marathon. But Wall said he’d only run a marathon if it was part of an Ironman. So they called his bluff. They called up Marschka and told him they were signing up for an Ironman. “I said, ‘You guys are crazy. You’re not going to do an Ironman? And they said, ‘We’re doing it,’ and they signed up,” Marschka says. When Marschka was younger, he says, he would watch the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. He admired the athletes’ perseverance. “It was a huge feat. I thought it was amazing,” he says. “I always wanted to do one.” So he told his friends, “Let’s do it.”
swims, rides and runs at their pace. Kennet was paired with Jeff Fejfar, who will also be his partner in Panama City Beach. The 1% Foundation is sponsoring Kennet at Ironman Florida. Edita said Kennet seemed like a different person at the Eagleman. “I almost didn’t recognize him,” she says. “He was so calm, he was so adult. He had no issues being around so many athletes.” Kennet was diagnosed with autism when he was 3. Edita, who was a teacher in Czechoslovakia before she immigrated to the United States, decided to put all her efforts into teaching Kennet. She discovered that he had no problem learning. His difficulty was in conveying his thoughts. “I wanted to give him as much knowledge as possible,” she says. “I was questioning myself what was best to start with, and I thought sports was the best choice, that it was going to actually open the door for him to be part of society, and I was right.” He learned all the sports and especially took to swimming. By 6, he knew all the swimming strokes, Edita says. After the Lefkovics moved from New York to Palm Coast, Kennet joined the Daytona Speed swim club. Coach Steve Lochte — the father of Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte — gave Kennet a scholarship. “That’s where he started to blossom,” Edita says. “And that’s when I realized all the information goes in, but he had difficulties getting it out. So I knew that he is capable of a lot more that he was showing me.” If Kennet finishes the Ironman Florida, he will be eligible to enter the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in October 2024.

Flagler Beach, downtown hotel at odds Lewis James Beilman Jr.
A gap in communication between the developer of the Margaritaville Hotel and the city of Flagler Beach has left the Flagler Beach City Commission blindsided at a proposed closure of Central Avenue for the duration of the 18-month-long construction project. The three-story, 100-room hotel is being built in the empty lot across from Veterans Park. The hotel’s developer, Sun Partners, LLC, and contractor, Welbro, submitted a traffic maintenance plan that included closing South Central Avenue between State Road 100 and South 2nd Street until construction ends in 2026. At a Flagler Beach City Commission meeting on Oct. 26, City Manager Dale Martin said the MOT plan was developed in a collaboration between city staff — including administration staff, city planners and previous city managers — and the developer.

Feb. 19, 1944 – Oct. 14, 2023
Lewis James Beilman Jr. passed away on Oct. 14, 2023, in Palm Coast, Fla. He was preceded in death by his mother, Marion Valentine, and his father, Lewis James Beilman. He is survived by his wife, Amy Beilman; his sons, Lewis James Beilman III, Kjell Beilman, and Neil Beilman; his stepson, Blair Wilhelm; his sister, Victoria Gunn, and brother-in-law, Winston “Buzz” Gunn; and his brother-in-law, Marc Lippitt, and sister-in-law, Suzanne Lippitt. Lewis was born in Middletown, Conn., on Feb. 19, 1944. His family moved from Connecticut to Florida when he was a teenager. He graduated from Miami Jackson Senior High School in 1962. After high school, Lewis served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He was part of the Navy’s Nuclear Power Program and later assisted with operating the nuclear reactors on the U.S.S. Enterprise. He also played trumpet in the Navy band. Lewis put himself through college after his military service and graduated from Florida International University. Post-college, he spent most of his 30year professional career as a financial controller at Combustion Engineering (CE) and Asea Brown Boveri (ABB). He and Amy retired to Palm Coast, Fla., in 2006. Lewis was an active retiree. He loved playing tennis; walking his dog, Hero; and biking—but most of all, he loved Move to Music, an exercise class he and Amy started in 2008. He created awesome musical playlists for the class, many of which are still used today. He also spent several years as the Treasurer of the Flagler Humane Society. After being diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2011, Lewis had to curtail some of his activities, but he and Amy later started an oral, head, and neck cancer support group at Advent Health in Palm Coast. The support group, which was associated with SPOHNC (Support
for People with Oral and Head and Neck Cancer), helped hundreds of patients and caregivers during the eight years it operated. Lewis will always be remembered for his broad smile, his positive attitude, and his love of life. He was always up on the “news of the day” and remained interested in the fate of the Miami Dolphins through his last days. Lewis eventually succumbed to head and neck cancer, but he remained an inspiration to so many during his more than 12-year journey. No matter what difficulties life showed to him, he made the best of each day and was grateful for whatever time he had with his family, friends, and animal companions. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to SPOHNC or the Flagler Humane Society.

to be a city street.” The closed section of Central Avenue would be used to store construction materials, according to city meeting documents. The plan also outlines plans to close the sidewalk along the lot and S.R. 100 and the S.R. 100 crosswalk near the lot. The construction crews would work Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and park in the empty lot south of the Flagler Beach Police station. Cooley said he’s heard a lot of panic from businesses along Central Avenue that would be impacted by the proposed closure. There are at least 15 businesses along that route, he said. “We can’t hurt 15 [businesses] to make it easier for one,” he said. Commissioner Jane Mealy said that in New York, where she is from, a road is never shut down for the duration of construction, and that shouldn’t be needed here. If the contractor needs to temporarily close the road while working on a specific part of the build, that’s one thing, she said, but the road should be reopened as soon as possible. “There are ways of not messing everything up for long periods of time,” Mealy said.

The MOT plan was not presented to the commission because the city does not have any formal policy or procedure to regulate such closures, according to meeting documents. The plan was approved by the Florida Department of Transportation, Martin said. Martin asked the commission to temporarily approve the MOT plan and allow him to go back and negotiate with the developer for a few weeks until Martin can come back with an altered MOT plan for the commission’s approval. “The project is less than a week old,” Martin. “Let me work on a compromise.” Martin said that going forward, any lane closures exceeding five days will be brought to the commission for approval. The commission agreed to let Martin handle the negotiations. Commission Chair Eric Cooley said FDOT may have approved the plans, but neither the commission nor the public have. A lane should only be shut down when it is necessary, he said, and for convenience. “I’m only speaking for myself, but the only time any parking spot, any sidewalk and especially any street is closed is based on a high need, not on convenience,” Cooley said. “If you need a spot to dump your supplies to build your building, it’s not going

DUMB AND DUMBER 10:24 a.m. — West State Road 100 and Water Oak Road, Bunnell Counterfeit license plate. The Sheriff’s Office arrested a 20-year-old Palatka woman who was driving with an expired license and a counterfeit license plate while on the way to a class for her felony probation, according to an arrest report. The Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled the woman over when he saw her Nissan Altima had a paper tag with too-small print on it. She told the officer the tag was a temporary one from when she purchased the car at a Florida dealership, according to the report. When asked why it was a Texas tag if the car was bought in Florida, the woman didn’t have an answer. While the deputy was looking up her information, the woman kept telling him she was going to be late for a required class she needed to take for her felony parole. The deputy ran the Texas tag number, which had a February 2024 expiration date, in the system to find the fake, the report said. The woman’s license was also a suspended learner’s license. She was arrested and taken to the county jail.

Vandalism. Police responded to a local restaurant after its manager noticed someone had slashed one of his tires. The manager told the reporting officer that he went to get his phone’s charger from his car when he noticed that his car’s rear passenger tire was flat, according to a police report. Upon closer inspection, he found a 2-inch slash on the side of the tire. The restaurant manager suspected a former employee caused the damage. He alleged that the former employee has been repeatedly harassing employees and causing other damage at the restaurant. The manager told police that he is often harassed on social media by the former employee, who he said uses a fake profile with the name of the restaurant and a warning not to eat there. He wished to press charges.

SEALED AND DELIVERED 7:12 a.m. — 100 block of Interchange Boulevard, Ormond Beach Suspicious incident. A fast food restaurant employee was delivering an order to a car outside when she was handed a note by a woman with blonde hair. The woman instructed the employee not to open the note until she was gone. The employee, according to a police report, went inside the fast food restaurant’s kitchen and opened the note, at which point she saw the woman enter the bath-
room. The note asked for her to call 911, listed an address in Deltona, and stated there were three hostages. The employee’s manager called 911. In that time, the woman exited the restaurant and left on foot. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the address in Deltona and discovered that the home belonged to a fellow deputy who didn’t know who the woman could be.

TUMMY TROUBLES 4:18 a.m. — 400 block of State Road A1A, Flagler Beach Battery. A Flagler Beach homeless man said he “punched” a convenience store clerk with his stomach after she told him to leave the store, according to an arrest report. The man told a police officer that he had entered the convenience store to use the microwave to heat up a bowl of instant mac-and-cheese, according to his arrest report. He left the store, but reentered because his mac-andcheese needed more water. As he left the second time, security footage shows that the clerk told him he needed to leave the property. That was when the suspect began swearing at her and then shoved her backwards twice using his stomach, the report said. The suspect described what he did as “punching” her with his stomach, according to the report.

CRIME REPORT
Stabbing victim’s Othal Wallace to 30 wife, sons arrested sentenced years in prison David Rainey’s wife and two sons have been charged with tampering with evidence. OBSERVER STAFF
The wife and two sons of a Palm Coast man who was stabbed to death and thrown in a Dixie County canal in July 2021 have been arrested in connection with his homicide. Victim David Rainey’s wife, Cindy Rainey, and sons Jack Rainey and Bailey Rainey were all arrested Oct. 25 and have been charged with tampering with evidence, according to a notice posted to the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page. Cindy Rainey had been the one to report David Rainey, 52, missing the morning of Sunday, July 25, 2021, while the family vacationed in the town of Suwannee with fam-
BRIEFS Motorcycle crash kills woman, injures man An Ormond Beach woman is dead and an Ormond Beach man is in critical condition after their motorcycle collided with a car on U.S. 1 in Flagler County. A 65-year-old man was riding the motorcycle north on U.S. 1 in the outside right lane, with a 66-year-old woman as his passenger, at about 10:02 a.m. Oct. 29 when a south-
ily friend Jeffery Sawyer, according to a news release from the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office. She told deputies that her husband had walked away from the house the previous evening after the two had argued and that he’d left his glasses, wallet and cell phone behind. Dixie County deputies found David Rainey’s body in a canal behind the rented home the evening she reported him missing. He had been stabbed in the chest multiple times before being placed in the water, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Dixie County deputies worked with Flagler County deputies on Oct. 25 to arrest Cindy Rainey and Bailey Rainey in Bunnell, and arrested Jack Rainey in Orlando with help from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, according to the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office.
bound sedan made a left turn from U.S. 1 to Karat Path, entering the northbound lanes right in front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle hit the car’s passenger side door. The car, driven by a 32-year-old Palm Coast woman, had “failed to yield to [the motorcycle] while making the left turn,” according to a crash report from the Florida Highway Patrol. Neither of the two people on the motorcycle was wearing a helmet, according to the report. The woman died at Halifax Health Hospital on Oct. 29.
Othal Wallace, the man who shot and killed Daytona Beach Police Officer Jason Raynor in 2021, was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Friday, Oct. 27. Wallace was found guilty of manslaughter by a Clay County jury in September. “The line of duty death of Officer Jason Raynor was an immense tragedy, one that still weighs heavily on this agency and our community,” Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young said in a statement. “Today, we take solace in the knowledge that the perpetrator of this heinous crime has received the maximum sentence allowed by law following his manslaughter conviction.” On the evening of June 23, 2021, Raynor was patrolling at an apartment complex off of Kingston Avenue in Daytona Beach when he came across Wallace sitting in a Honda SUV, according to a press release. The officer’s body camera video showed a 42-second interaction between him and Wallace, where
Woman, 18, dies in crash on I-95 exit ramp
Wallace refused to answer Raynor’s questions or listen to his commands. Eventually, the interaction escalated and a gunshot could be heard. Raynor, who was quickly found by his fellow officers, had been shot in the head and was sent to the hospital in critical condition. Three days later, on June 26, 2021, Wallace was found by Georgia State Police hiding in a treehouse in a remote area east of Atlanta with multiple weapons. He was arrested and extradited to Volusia County. Raynor died on Aug. 17, 2021, due to complications from the gunshot wound. “Officer Jason Raynor was doing his job — protecting our community — and he lost his life as a result,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said in a press release. “The defendant shot and killed Officer Raynor because he harbored a deep-seated hate for law enforcement — not because he was fearful for his life. There is no sentence that would adequately punish the defendant for his brutal murder but imposing the maximum sentence brings some measure of justice and
scene of the crash. No one else was in the car, according to the report.
An 18-year-old Palm Coast woman died the morning of Oct. 29 after the car she was driving swerved off an Interstate 95 exit ramp and struck a light post and a tree. The woman was taking the northbound exit from I-95 to Palm Coast Parkway at about 7:48 a.m. when her sedan left the roadway, turning to the right, according to a crash report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The woman died at the
School district, union agree on contract
Volusia County Schools and Volusia United Educators Support have reached an agreement in salary negotiations. On Thursday, Oct. 26, the school district announced that the two groups had overcome impasse to settle on a contract that includes a 2.5% salary increase and
accountability.” In his statement, Young expressed condolences to Raynor’s family. “Since the day Officer Raynor lost his life protecting and serving others, our community has sought justice for this senseless act of evil,” Young said. “Now, the judicial proceedings in this case have concluded, but our love for Jason remains. Always.”
Woman shot by FHP trooper
A woman shot by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper had driven her car at the officer while trying to flee from a traffic stop, according to the FHP. The shooting occurred at 16th Road and Ocean Crest Drive on Oct. 25. The FHP officer fired into the woman’s white Acura as it drove toward him, according to a press release from the FHP. The incident began when the trooper attempted to pull the woman over for reckless driving and endangering the public. Instead of pulling over, the woman fled before coming to a dead-end road, then drove her car at the trooper as he tried to take her into custody. The trooper fired at the woman in an “attempt to immobilize the deadly threat,”
an increase in longevity pay. VCS previously declared an impasse with VUE on Sept. 15 because VUE sought a 3% salary increase and compensation for both retention and longevity. The district had initially proposed a 2% average salary increase and longevity compensation, beginning with employees who have worked for VCS for five years or longer. “We are glad that the teams were able to overcome impasse and come to a resolution to reach an agreement for our deserving support staff,” VCS Superintendent

according to the press release. The woman has been hospitalized, and the press release did not include an update on her condition. Neither the trooper nor the woman’s female passenger were injured. The scene was later turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the shooting, a standard practice for policeinvolved shootings. The FHP will also conduct a routine internal investigation.
Teen charged with pulling knife at school
A 14-year-old student pulled a knife after a fight at Indian Trails Middle School the morning of Oct. 27 and has been arrested, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. A fight broke out between two girls at the school at about 7:45 a.m., and deputies responded to help break up the fight. But after that fight ended, a 14-year-old boy pulled a knife from his backpack and raised it over his head “in a threatening manner towards other students present,” according to a news release from the FCSO. Deputies arrested him, and no one was injured.
Carmen Balgobin said in a press release. “These employees are vital to the operations of our schools day in and day out, so we are pleased to come together to support them.” The agreement will be ratified the week of Nov. 6 before it is presented to the Volusia County School Board for approval on Nov. 14.

THE OBSERVER | THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2023
Hunter’s Ridge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
the city’s allegations that the developer violated the 1991 Hunter’s Ridge Development of Regional Impact. The violations included that the developer failed to grant almost 300 acres of conservation lands to the city, issued neighboring Flagler County a 60-foot wide public road easement in 2017 through those conservation lands on a road known as the 40 Grade, and failed to prepare a hydroperiod restoration plan for the conservation lands as outlined in the development order. The finding of noncompliance by the commission meant the city would stop providing utilities for new homes in the Flagler County side of Hunter’s Ridge. The Ormond Beach portion of the subdivision is built-out. “I cannot say which particular parts of Hunter’s Ridge will be affected,” City Attorney Randy Hayes said in an email to the Observer. “The enforcement does not apply to any existing approved permits and is not intended to create an inordinate burden on existing vested rights.” The city filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief on Friday, Oct. 27, writing that the city “has suffered damages as a result of the developer’s non-compliance and continues to suffer damages as a result of the developer’s non-compliance.” The developer and his attorney were unaware that a lawsuit had been filed until the Observer reached out for comment. “I think it speaks to the fact that Ormond Beach has never been open to discussion on this matter,” said Jake Beren, chief operating officer
of Hunters Ridge Acquisition and Development LLC. “There has always been accusations. There has never been a nuanced conversation.” Hayes said that the city chose to file the lawsuit because “it became clear during the presentation by Flagler County and the developer that neither of them intend to take action to remedy the public road easement violation.” The lawsuit, Hayes said, doesn’t affect the decision by the commission to find the developer in noncompliance. It furthers the direction of the commission to take all action necessary to remedy the violations, he said. DEVELOPER: SOLUTIONS WERE OFFERED
The city of Ormond Beach has stated that it is concerned that the easement could allow Flagler County to potentially build a public road in the future through the conservation lands, which are designated as open/space conservation in Ormond Beach’s comprehensive plan. The city fears the road could also connect the Flagler County portion of Strickland Road to State Road 40, worsening traffic for residents. Prior to the lawsuit being filed, the Observer spoke with Beren about his takeaways from the special commission meeting. He felt that his company’s rebuttals to the city’s concerns — including Flagler County offering to draft an agreement specifically stating the county will never build a road on the 40-grade, which the city stated was a major concern — were ignored. U.S. Capital Alliance purchased Hunter’s Ridge in 2021. A few months later, the
city was exploring building wells on Flagler County land within Hunter’s Ridge to provide utilities to the homes on that side, and that’s when the issues between the developer, the city and Flagler County began. Beren said his group has offered numerous solutions to the issue, including offering to deed over the conservation parcel, held in escrow, until the easement issue is resolved and he’s finished with mitigation work. The hydroperiod restoration work was done as dictated in the DRI, Beren said, claiming the city has annual reports on the matter. An email from St. Johns Water Management District states that the hydroperiod restoration work was completed north of the 287acre conservation parcel, and that the district couldn’t find information that required the work to be done within the parcel specifically. Beren said the city’s response was that the work was never permitted by the city and therefore the developers committed a violation of the DRI. “So it’s a gotcha,” Beren said. “That’s what [the city] is doing.” He believes the issue goes back to the city wanting to build wells on the conservation parcel, pointing to the fact that the $20 million project was included in the city’s recently approved Capital Improvement Plan, slated to be budgeted in the 2027-2028 fiscal year. Flagler County attorney Sean Moylan told the Observer that Hayes’ claim in the Oct. 25 meeting that discussions of wells on Flagler County land were only “informal discussions” between staff was not true. Ormond Beach staff requested and received a special use easement onto Flagler County lands to build wells from the Flagler County
ORMOND FINDS HUNTER’S RIDGE IN NONCOMPLIANCE The Ormond Beach City Commission unanimously found the Hunter’s Ridge development violated several agreements with the city during a special meeting on Oct. 25. It’s requiring Flagler County and Hunter’s Ridge fix the issues or utilities will be denied to the Flagler County Hunter’s Ridge development. City staff found five areas that U.S. Capital Alliance allegedly violated within the city’s Hunter’s Ridge development agreement, the biggest concern being a roadway easement the developer granted Flagler County within Ormond Beach boundaries. Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington said he feels bad for the current owners of Hunter’s Ridge — who bought the development, and these problems, in April 2021 — but said he ultimately didn’t see enough evidence to dispute the violations. “I have to protect Ormond Beach residents and make sure we’re following our rules. And that we’re following state law,” he said. Hunter’s Ridge is a 32-year-old, 3,534-acre development that encompasses land in southern Flagler County and in northwest Ormond Beach. Both Flagler County and Ormond Beach have their own separate development agreements with the Hunter’s Ridge development. In 2009, Flagler County and Ormond Beach also entered into an interlocal agreement where Ormond Beach would provide utilities to the Hunter’s Ridge development in Flagler. Ormond Beach city staff and Hayes said the developer violated the following conditions: First, that Hunter’s Ridge failed to convey a 300-acre parcel of conservation land to
the city. Second, that the developer granted Flagler County a 60-foot-wide road easement on the conservation parcel. Third, granting a public road easement on conservation land violated Ormond Beach’s comprehensive plan for conservation land use. The final two items referenced a hydroperiod restoration plan and work that the developer agreed to do as part of the development agreement. The city alleges the developer did not complete that work. The biggest issue debated at the special meeting was the granted road easement through the conservation parcel. “Flagler County doesn’t have the authority to legislate in Ormond Beach on the subject matter,” Hayes said. “You just can’t do it.” The 60-foot-wide road easement covers an existing unpaved fire trail known as 40 Grade that starts at State Road 40 and goes into Flagler County. In 2009, Flagler County updated its development agreement with Hunter’s Ridge and required the easement as part of it. Hayes said the developer didn’t have the power to grant that easement, which was issued in 2017. Flagler County Deputy attorney Sean Moylan attended the meeting and said that the easement, while broadly written, was intended as both an emergency access point and for maintenance of Flagler County conservation lands. Moylan said the county felt it more prudent to use the already existing path than to clear any additional conservation lands. Moylan said he believed the Flagler County Commission would be willing to consider narrowing the scope of the easement to prevent any
concerns about paving or developing the 40 Grade into a public road. “One of my main points here tonight is to tell you that we have no plans in Flagler County to pave [that road],” Moylan said. “It’s not getting paved by us.” The attorneys representing U.S. Capital Alliance told the commission, that not only has work been done for the required hydroperiod restoration (a process that restores water levels in previously drained wetlands) but easements similar to the one granted to Flagler have been accepted practice in other state cases. As for the conservation parcel, the city claims the developer, in the 32 years since both parties signed the development agreement, has not conveyed the land to the city and St. Johns River Water Management District U.S. Capital Alliance attorney Philip Crawford said the land has not been conveyed because the developer is required to give it to both the city and the water management district, and the district has told the developer it is not able to take on the parcel yet. The developer can’t convey the parcel until the water management district is ready to accept it, too, he said. “We’re in a Catch-22,” Crawford told the Observer. “What do we do when one party that has to get the deed is not ready to accept it? How do we comply?” After the meeting, Crawford said the legal team and their clients will need to look at their options. “We’re going to evaluate the enforcement of our rights. We have no choice,” Crawford. “We’re going to need to evaluate how to enforce the rights that we’re entitled to.”
County Commission in June of 2021, Moylan said, pending the city’s receipt of approval from the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Audubon Society. “It was much more than just conversations,” he said. “And the the irony, again, is that they wanted to use 40 Grade.” The county uses the 40 Grade easement to access its own conservation land. Moylan said at the meeting city staff showed a map of the different trails in Flagler County as alternative access points Flagler could use. Moylan said those trails are little more than dirt paths, suitable for four-wheelers or four-wheel drive, but not for heavy maintenance vehicles or logging trucks. During the meeting on Oct. 25 and again in an interview with the Observer, Moylan said Flagler County was willing to work on a more restrictive easement that reflects the county’s land management use of the easement. “We feel that this is something that can be worked out,” Moylan said. “If only they would engage us in conversations.”

IRREPARABLE HARM?
The complaint seeks a declaratory judgment regarding the 40 Grade easement with Flagler County. The city is asking the court to affirm that the easement violates the development order with Hunter’s Ridge, the city’s comprehensive land use plan and the city’s development regulations. Moylan said the county was surprised to find out about the lawsuit on Monday, Oct. 30. He said he had understood from the hearing that parties involved would have 60 days to work on the issues. “We were trying to find an amicable solution for both the city and the county,” he said. “We feel that litigation is not the right avenue. It will entail the expenditure of taxpayer dollars on both sides.” Hayes said that the 60-day timeframe was removed “to accommodate corrective action that might require more time to complete.” Moylan said counties and municipalities regularly own easements and even land in other municipalities — Flagler County, as an example, owns land in St. Johns County, just north of Marineland, he said. Municipalities can own land in other jurisdictions, it just can’t regulate within them, he said. “The commissioners kept saying, well, we want to protect the residents of Ormond Beach,” Moylan said. “I’m like, well, protect them from what? How does our dirt road and driving across a dirt road in the wilderness hurt the residents of Ormond Beach?” In terms of the developer, the city is seeking injunctive relief requiring the developer to comply with the development order, stating the city “has suffered and continues to suffer irreparable harm” due to the alleged violations of the development order by the developer. Beren said he doesn’t understand what the “irreparable harm” consists of. “They can’t be saying that it’s irreparable because it was supposed to be given 30 years ago and the citizenry never had access to this piece of land, because they had no intention of turning it into a park,” Beren said. “They were never going to open this up to the public. They take issue with the fact that 40 Grade has an easement for public access to particular individuals.” Additionally, he was questioned why the city would file a lawsuit when the order of noncompliance was supposed to grant him time to fix the issues. “They told me this is a corrective action to be done, and then they did not give me sufficient time in order to correct the action,” Beren said. “They may as well have filed suit at the hearing.”

Revive Fitness and Lifestyle hosted a grand reopening on Saturday, Oct. 28, to celebrate the renovation of the facility and workout equipment. Revive Fitness first opened 13 years ago. Located at 180 S. Yonge St. in Ormond Beach, the fitness studio has expanded from 5,400 square feet to 7,200 square feet, allowing more members to join and more equipment and classes to be added. At the age of 24, Arnold Kolozsvari, owner of Revive Fitness, moved from Hungary to the United States in 1999 to follow his dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder

like Arnold Schwarzenegger. “I saw a picture of him one day, and it helped me create a path and goal for myself,” Kolozsvari said, “First and foremost, I wanted to become a successful bodybuilder, and I want to live from my knowledge and not from my physical strength. I knew there was no better place to do that than in the United States, so I took the first opportunity I got and moved to the states.” Before he was able to open his own gym, he worked at other fitness facilities and did at-home personal training. In 2010, when Kolozsvari opened Revive, he had 13 clients follow him to Revive from the gym he worked at previously. Revive trainers work with people 10-87 years old, and half of their clients are over the age of 50. They focus on creating strength, stamina, functionality and well-being on top of offering nutritional consultation and programs to each client.
Each member of Revive receives a personalized fitness and nutrition plan based on their body, health, fitness level, goals and concerns. A movement screening takes place before their plan is created to find exactly where the body is lacking and to see how the body moves. Kolozsvari said a big part of his and Revive’s vision is that knowledge is more powerful than physical strength. Carlo Solorzano has been an employee at Revive for four years and a manager for a little over a year. He has a bachelor’s degree in sports medicine and 10 years of experience in the fitness industry. “Even with my background and experience, I have learned so much from Arnold,” Solorzano said. “He is constantly on us and himself about keeping up on our education and critiquing us so we can be better all around.”
A new dessert option has arrived in Ormond Beach. The Peach Cobbler Factory, located in Ormond Towne Square at 1474 W. Granada Blvd., hosted its grand opening on Saturday, Oct. 28, offering free dessert samples to the public, as well as face painting and photo opportunities. The Peach Cobbler Factory was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2013 by Juan and Tami Edgerton with the goal of “crafting delightful desserts that evoke the feeling
of grandma’s kitchen.” Toya Wallace and Oliver Ross, owners of the Ormond Beach Peach Cobbler Factory location, are Daytona Beach natives and attended local schools. Ross attended Tomoka Elementary School, and Wallace attended and graduated from Seabreeze High School. Before opening the Peach Cobbler Factory, Wallace was a registered nurse in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Daytona Beach area for around 18 years. “The company is familyoriented and not a huge company, which made it easier on us and more comfortable,” Wallace said. As an entrepreneur, Ross works with land developments, restaurants, and various other companies. He also owns and manages Crab Stop in Daytona Beach, located at 240 S. Martin Luther King Jr.

Blvd. “This right here is something that is diversified,” Ross said. “It’s an easy blueprint to follow, so we teamed up, jumped on board, and started creating this location. Our plan is to have 10 stores wherever there is a demand for them.” The Peach Cobbler Factory offers 12 flavors of cobbler and 12 flavors of pudding, which can be made into shakes. It also offers brownies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, churros and waffles that can be enhanced with a multitude of toppings. Ross and Wallace said their main goal is to be present in the community and to employ high school students, college students and people in need with jobs and give them an opportunity to learn and grow with the company. “We want to be a part of the community and for the community to know us as the owners,” Ross said, “We met a lot of people that own small businesses in the area and introduced ourselves, and they welcomed us with open arms, and we could not be more grateful.”

Lohmans extend funding Bible challenge YOUR for field study program dismissed at TOWN A $340,000 donation to the FUTURES Foundation two years ago launched the Museum of Arts and Sciences Field Study. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
Since 2021, about 16,450 fifth and eighth grade students in Volusia County Schools have been able to visit the Museum of Arts and Sciences for a day of hands-on learning. A $340,000 donation to the FUTURES Foundation by Ormond Beach philanthropists Lowell and Nancy Lohman made that possible. At the Volusia County School Board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24, VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin announced that the Lohmans had extended their donation by an additional $340,000 to ensure the Lohman’s Museum of Arts and Sciences Field Study program continues for another three years. “These two very, very special individuals here have helped our students not only acquire 21st century skills through STEM, but also develop a deep love ... for an area that we know that is expanding every single day — more job opportunities than we know that exist in these areas.” In the first year of the program, Balgobin said 6,700 students visited the museum. In the second year, the museum saw an attendance of 6,300 students. About 3,450 students have been to the museum this school year, which would have been the last for
the program. In the 2022-2023 test scores, fifth graders scored 10% above the state average in science and eighth graders scored 4% above the state average, Balgobin said. MOAS Executive Director Tabitha Schmidt said the Lohmans are “game changers.” “They make things happen,” she said. “I’ve been working in the museum and the education nonprofit field my entire career, which is a long time now, and I can tell you that metrics like what you just said are rare.” MOAS is thrilled to continue the program, she added. “We need to present at some conferences, because this is big stuff that’s happening in Volusia County,” Schmidt said. Nancy Lohman credited the idea for the program to School Board member Carl Persis, who she said suggested she and Lowell connect their love of the MOAS planetarium (named after the Lohmans in 2021) with the needs in the school district. “The idea that no child is left behind was really important to us, and that moved us tremendously,” Nancy Lohman said. The planetarium is also undergoing updates. Its resolution is being improved, the interior is being remodeled and solar telescopes have been added. Lowell Lohman said between 50,000 and 60,000 students will get to attend the field study program at MOAS and visit the planetarium. “So if you have 60,000 students going to the planetarium, Nancy and I get a lot of satisfaction out of that,” Lowell Lohman said.

Volusia County Schools received a challenge about having the Bible in school library shelves on Thursday, Oct. 19. The challenge was resolved on Tuesday, Oct. 24, with the district determining the book should be returned to shelves in the impacted 15 schools, said Danielle Johnson, VCS director of community information, in an email to the Observer. Three Ormond Beach area schools — Seabreeze High School, Mainland High School and Hinson Middle School — were among those were the Bible was available. The Volusia County School Board briefly discussed the matter at its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24, after School Board member Ruben Colon said he had received messages of concern from some local pastors. “I just wanted to be clear, for the public to understand that there is a state statute that specifically allows for the Bible to be in schools, and that is not something that this board can take up,” Colon said. VCS attorney Kevin Pendley cited Florida Statute 1003.45 which reads, “The district school board may install in the public schools in the district a secular program of education including, but not limited to, an objective study of the Bible and of religion.” “In my legal opinion, referencing a specific book title — the Bible — the legislature has authorized that book to be in the library media selection materials used in schools,” Pendley said.

DSC FOUNDATION, JEEP BEACH RAISE FUNDS FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
The Daytona State College Foundation and Jeep Beach celebrated a new scholarship program Friday, October 6 with the “Jeep Beach Scholarship Parade” as part of Daytona State’s Homecoming festivities. “Jeep Beach’s organizers and participants appreciate the value of supporting education, and their contributions will go a long way toward helping our students succeed,” Foundation Vice President Tim Norton said. Jeep Beach has contributed more than $25,000 in direct and indirect support to students attending Daytona State College over the years. Jeep Beach, which attracted 225,000 visitors and more than 25,000 Jeeps to Daytona Beach this year for their annual April event, enlisted the Foundation as host of the inaugural “Jeep Beach Rated Restaurants: Where the Locals Eat” tasting event. Proceeds from the tasting event enabled boys and girls from the area immediately surrounding the DSC main campus to attend summer athletic camps for free, provided scholarships for students in need of affordable housing while attending DSC this year, and supported the Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia-Flagler Counties Youth of the Year program. Students interested in applying for the Jeep Beach scholarships – some of the more than 240 scholarships available through the Foundation – should visit DaytonaState. edu/Scholarships.

Wanda Joy Moening (nee Hamlett) was born on January 29th, 1933 in Floyd, New Mexico. When she was a small child, the family moved to the small town of Devine, Texas. Wanda graduated from Devine High School. As college was too expensive an endeavor, she and a best friend moved to the big city of San Antonio and found work as a switchboard operator. Wanda married a USAF fighter pilot and they had two children together: Dan and Karen. She was always the consumate hostess for squadron dinner parties, holidays and other special events. While stationed in Japan, Wanda discovered a liking and expressive talent for oil painting, which she enjoyed doing off and on until the day of her passing. She enrolled in a class to learn the art and technique of oil painting and was granted a certificate with the license to paint a purple cow. In her own sense of humor, she did indeed paint a purple chicken. Wanda also took classes in Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, a talent she used throughout life to decorate centerpieces for holidays and other celebrations. Wanda also greatly enjoyed gardening and had a fantastic green thumb. Her gardens were the envy of everyone, although neighbors did enjoy the fruits of her labor. She shared extra vegetables and special plant cuttings with many of them. Other interests included photography, where her massive collection of pictures provided great resource for her painting and sketching. Wanda had a very strong faith in God and conducted her life with Christian values. She was never profane, never spoke ill of any person, and always saw the best in people; she always put others before herself. She cultivated many life long friendships. Wanda never forgot a special date for any friend or family member. For every

Unlocking our waterfront: the story of city’s docks Ormond MainStreet is committed to raising awareness of Cassen Park’s floating dock. JOHN ADAMS BOARD MEMBER, ORMOND BEACH MAIN STREET
JERRY JANERO CHAIR OF DOCK COMMITTEE, ORMOND BEACH MAIN STREET
The Intracoastal Waterway flows almost the entire length of the East Coast and presents Ormond Beach with an amazing opportunity to attract more visitors as boaters pass through downtown. The city maintains a small boat launch facility in Cassen Park, one of the four picturesque parks that anchor the Granada Bridge on the east and west sides. Thinking of the Intracoastal Waterway and the launch, an idea formed that adding a dock would be a golden opportunity to provide traveling boaters with the chance to stop and enjoy Ormond’s reinvigorated historic downtown with their vessels. In 2015, Ormond Beach Main Street recognized the immense potential of welcoming traveling boaters to explore and experience the charm of their downtown. They pitched the idea of the dock to the City Commission, which unanimously approved its construction in 2016. The plan was to construct a modern floating dock on the south-

west corner of the Granada Bridge, right at Cassen Park. Funding for the project was secured through community redevelopment funds, collected from downtown properties’ taxes, and a generous grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District. The process of planning and engineering began in 2018, with the involvement of city engineering staff, professional dock design companies, and experienced local boaters familiar with long-distance water travel. The main goal was to ensure a safe and user-friendly design that would make the dock a highlight of the downtown area. After careful consideration, the finalized design features a large concrete floating dock with concrete pilings extending well above any potential storm-high tides. Furthermore, to accommodate vessels up to approximately 60 feet, the existing shallow small boat channel that stretches from the boat launch ramp to the Intracoastal Waterway required dredging to a depth of 6 feet at low tide. The plan also called for the construction of a 500-foot breakwater to add an extra layer of protection to safeguard docked vessels and the existing fishing pier by the bridge from potential future hurricane damage. Construction commenced in October of 2019 with the dredging of the channel, followed swiftly by the installation of the docks and breakwater. By March of 2020, construction had been completed and the docks ready to welcome boaters. Unfortunately, as fate would
have it, March also brought newly enacted COVID restrictions, which resulted in the shutdown of cityowned public property, including the brand-new docks. As a result, for nearly two years, the docks remained underutilized, thwarting Ormond Main Street’s plans to market this fantastic addition to the downtown area. Even still, it won an award through the Florida Secretary of State for Outstanding Public Improvement during this time. COVID-19 affected various aspects of community life, and nonprofit organizations, like Ormond Main Street. However, the organization persevered during this time, only to encounter a minor setback during the 2022 hurricane season when passing hurricanes slightly damaged the docks. The city of Ormond Beach took swift action and appropriately closed the docks for repairs, that further delayed the use of the facility. Thankfully, two months ago, the docks reopened to the public, but the existence of Ormond’s best-kept secret remains known primarily to a small band of local boaters, who have learned about it through word of mouth. Nevertheless, Ormond Main Street has made a steadfast commitment to raise awareness about the downtown docks. The economic benefits for downtown merchants are undeniable, given the successful operation of over 70 free docks in communities similar to Ormond Beach, stretching from South Florida to North Carolina. Vast potential
exists to attract boaters looking to explore the downtown area when considering the approximately 18,084 registered boats over 17 feet long in Volusia County and another 4,334 in Flagler County. The construction of the dock has created a great opportunity for local boaters to spend a day on the water with the opportunity to discover the historic charm of the city, along with the variety of eateries and retail outlets. In addition to catering to local boaters, the dock has potential to tap into a broader market — boaters who journey from city to city, following seasonal changes. These travelers often rely on free docks, and in return, they contribute to host cities’ economies by utilizing shoreside services. Unfortunately, current cruising guides indicate that Ormond Beach lacks facilities for exploring the town from the water, directing boaters to dock miles away in Daytona Beach. Ormond Main Street will work determinedly to change this narrative and attract these boaters to their city in the very near future. In conclusion, Ormond Beach’s floating dock offers a picturesque and welcoming spot for boaters to explore the city’s historic charm, making it an invaluable addition to the downtown area. With proactive marketing and outreach efforts to the boating community, the city can unlock the full potential of this hidden gem, fostering economic growth, and becoming a soughtafter destination for both local and traveling boaters.

Public golf courses can serve as an important recreational resource for a community, providing a space for residents and visitors to enjoy outdoor activities and engage in physical exercise. They can also serve as a venue for community events and activities,
such as tournaments and fundraisers, which can help bring people together and build a sense of community. In addition to their recreational and social benefits, public golf courses also have economic benefits for a community. They attract visitors from outside the area, who stay in local hotels and eat at local restaurants, which helps support the local economy. They also provide jobs for local residents, including groundskeepers, pro shop atten-
dants, and other staff. Ormond Beach has no public golf course (we had two courses that welcomed the public — both are closed) even while golf has made a massive comeback in popularity. Ormond Beach should have a golf course as an amenity for all the people in the community. Young people should get outside and learn golf as an important skill that focuses their talents and minds.

My dad is retired and lives in Idaho, but he was kind enough to visit Florida and work with my staff for a couple of weeks. On his last day in the office, Oct. 27, he called over to me and said, “Come look at this for a minute.” I knew from experience going back to my teenage years that “a minute” in front of computer hardware with my dad meant that I might need to bring some snacks,
maybe a pillow. Sensing that I was once again a reluctant pupil, he said, with a fatherly eye roll, “Or at least pretend to listen.” I did my best to follow the cords and understand what was plugged in where, and why. But just as I did as a teenager, I was missing context and had no confidence that I could retrace his steps in case of an emergency. But, just as I did when I was a teenager, I knew that he would be a phone call away, way too generous with his time, way too forgiving of my sin of taking him for granted. When I was a teenager, it never occurred to me that I would eventually be 43 years old and he would be 70. Now that I’m 43, it is hard to avoid thinking about the dwindling
number of World Series games we have left to watch — or doze through — together. Ever since my wife, Hailey, and I bought the Observer, he has been encouraging me, like a guide who brought an extra life jacket when I forgot mine on the whitewater raft of business ownership. Because of his vantage point as a grandfather, on this trip he was also able to avoid taking my own kids for granted while he was here. At a softball game for my 8-yearold daughter, Kennedy, for example, Dad watched with amusement as Luke stole my wife’s $1,000 cell phone to use as a paperweight for his foil cheeseburger wrapper on the bleachers. My dad loves watching ocean
waves, and despite our best intentions, work prevented us from visiting Flagler Beach for the first 10 days of his trip. On his last evening in town, after my tour of the Hallway Closet o’ Tech, we drove over the bridge, and he sighed as the ocean seemed to rise into view like a ship coming for a rescue. We stood side by side, mostly in silence, taking pictures of surfers and watching the pale moon rise over the pier into the dusty blue sky. Hours later, we were on the road again, en route to the Orlando airport for his predawn takeoff, and he was gone. But not for long. Soon, he was texting me again about firewalls, backup drives, interdependencies.

Palm Coast veteran to receive free home upgrades thanks to nonprofit Vettes for Vets selected U.S. Air Force veteran Christopher Preveziotis, who retired in 2017. SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
A U.S. Air Force veteran and Palm Coast resident is the surprise recipient of a home improvement package from a national nonprofit. Vettes for Vets surprised local veteran Christopher Preveziotis at his home on Oct. 27 with a giant check labeled “free home restoration.” Vettes for Vets connects local contractors willing to donate their time with veterans who need assistance improving their homes. Preveziotis retired from the Air Force in 2017 as an E6, or technical sergeant, specializing in healthcare administration. He initially enlisted in 1990 but left the service in 1994.
In the summer of 2001, he returned to the Air Force and remained enlisted for the next 16 years. Preveziotis, a disabled veteran who is unable to work, said Vettes for Vets offering to complete needed upgrades at his home was a complete surprise. He’s very thankful, he said. “I had a lot of different feelings all at the same time,” Preveziotis said. “Financially, it’s going to help me out a lot but also spiritually … it has given me a better outlook on life.” Vettes for Vets was established in 2021 in Charleston, South Carolina, by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jason Dores, who owns a roofing company. The organization helps one veteran per year with home improvements in each state in which the nonprofit is active. Dores and several other Vettes for Vets members drove down from South Carolina to meet with Preveziotis. He said the nonprofit began as a helping-hand volunteer group to help a South Carolina veteran get a new roof. It has since expanded to Photos by Sierra Williams
Vettes for Vets founder Jason Dores and Florida Director Ron Boisvert present a check to Christopher Preveziotis. His wife, Xenia, their son Dimitris and Palm Coast City Council member Cathy Heighter look on.
Vettes for Vets members Ron Boisvert (the Florida director); his wife, Janice Boisvert; and Vettes for Vets founders Charlotte and Jason Dores
include the Washington D.C. area, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. “We’re going to continue growing,” he said. “It started off as just a roof, and now it has moved to bathroom remodels, appliances, bill assistance, anything that can help that veteran out.” Dores said Vettes for Vets will open in three additional states in 2024 — Michigan, Ohio and Texas — and in 2025 add Pennsylvania and Kentucky to its locations. “The goal is in 20 years to knock off all 50 states,” he said. This is Vettes for Vets’ first year in Florida. Ron Boisvert, the organization’s Florida director and a Palm Coast resident, said Vettes for Vets raises money and connects to people who want to help out through car shows and local Corvette groups.
“So people with a common interest come and ask, ‘Oh, what’s this about,’” he said “We do the big picture thing. We pick a veteran and we do a home improvement to try to get them back up the right step.” Boisvert said he talks to local veteran service organizations to get recommendations for local veterans who are in need. In Flagler County, he went to the county’s Veterans Services Office, the Florida Veterans of Foreign Wars office, and local branches of veteran groups like the American Legion for recommendations. Once a veteran is chosen, he said, the hard part is trying to arrange things without the individual finding out until the day of the reveal. “It’s like having a surprise party for your spouse,” he said. “It’s difficult.”
Presented by
Boisvert said Lowe’s has offered to supply the materials for the improvement projects, and he’s received verbal confirmations from a roofer, a general contractor and a landscaper. He said the work on Preveziotis’ home won’t begin until after the holidays. Preveziotis said Vettes for Vets will send someone to look at his home to see what work needs to be done, but he knows his home sustained some damage in the recent storms. Preveziotis said he doesn’t easily trust people, but having this happen out of the blue has made him feel like a better person. “It kind of heals me a bit,” he said. “It really opened up something good inside me.” Email sierra@observerlocalnews. com.

Temple Beth Shalom community celebrates 50 years in Palm Coast The congregation began in 1973 with 14 families who joined to hold services and celebrate holidays. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Margaret Oettinger has been a member of Temple Beth Shalom of Palm Coast for 36 years. “There was only one traffic light in town then,” she said. “It was at Old Kings Road and Palm Coast Parkway.” Jane Alexander moved to Palm Coast with her husband in 1980, when Temple Beth Shalom held its first service at what came to be known as its “little shul (synagogue) in the woods.” Oettinger and Alexander were among the 80-plus celebrants at the temple’s 50th anniversary celebration Sunday, Oct. 29, at Pine Lakes Golf Club. In 1973, there were about 18 Jewish families living in the newly-built C Section. According to the temple’s archives, compiled by publicity chairperson Marylynne Newmark, Dave and Anita Barber held an open

start a shul!’” Fourteen families formed the original congregation, according to a July 15, 1973 article in the Palm Coast News. They named their congregation Temple Beth Shalom, which means “house of peace” in Hebrew. The congregants held their first Friday night service at ITT’s Welcome Center. They outgrew the Welcome Center and then a model home and then the dining room at the original Yacht Club and began looking for a home of their own. They purchased a 3-acre parcel on Wellington Drive in 1978. Construction of the new synagogue was completed two years later. On March 14, 1980, 110 people attended the first Shabbat service at the temple. The golden jubilee weekend began on Friday, Oct. 27 with a Shabbaton, a celebration of the Sabbath that included prayer, learning, guest rabbis and music, and ended with the celebration and dinner on Sunday, Oct. 29.

A two-hour sale is planned for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5 at Temple Beth Shalom’s gift shop at 40 Wellington Drive, Palm Coast. Temple Beth Shalom houses the only Judaic gift shop in Flagler County. Inventory includes mezuzahs and kosher scrolls, bar/bat mitzvah and wedding gifts, baby gifts, talis sets (prayer shawls) for men and women, Chanukah menorahs and candles, Israeli jewelry and Judaic art. Anyone who is invited to a Jewish wedding, bar or bat mitzvah or to someone’s home for a Jewish holiday, and does not know what to buy as a gift, will find suggestions here.
Jane Alexander has lived in Palm Coast since 1980, the year the Temple Beth Shalom congregation held its first Shabbat service in “the little shul in the woods.”
Robert Arkin, Temple Beth Shalom’s president, spoke at Sunday’s celebration. He said it wasn’t crazy that a few families living in the woods decided to establish a synagogue. “Fourteen Jewish families became a community,” he said. “It was not wishful thinking. They weren’t doing anything different than their families had done over the centuries. Their love of Judaism and belief
in Torah were etched in their hearts. Today, the Temple Beth Shalom family continues to be one in peace and humanity.” Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin read a city proclamation designating Oct. 27 in honor of Temple Beth Shalom’s 50th anniversary. Rabbi Rob Lennick, the executive director of the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties, presented Temple Beth Shalom Rabbi Rose Eberle with a “Shamash Award.” Shamash means servant in Hebrew. Lennick said the federation “wishes blessings for the future” for the little shul in the woods.

S
eabreeze head coach Lester Davis engaged in some pre-game media banter before the rival match against Mainland, telling the Bucs’ head coach Travis Roland to “meet him on the 50.” Officials made that happen just before halftime when a brawl broke out between the two teams during the game on Friday, Oct. 27, at the Daytona Stadium. Coaches were called out to the midfield to find out how their teams would proceed. The Buccaneers went on to romp the Sandcrabs 48-14 to improve to 9-0. It was their 13th win in a row against the Sandcrabs. This season, Seabreeze running back Denali Campbell has been on the field on both offense and defense which put him in the fray the entire game. “It was a bit rough,” he said. “There was a lot of trash talking, of course. I feel like the brawl happened because we are close. It was a handful, especially with Khamani (Robinson). They’re Number 2 in Florida. I wasn’t expecting to beat them. I was expecting us to come out and put up a fight. We put up a fight.” Mainland deferred to Seabreeze after winning the toss and quickly took over after Seabreeze’s first pos-
sessions. Dennis Murray hit wide receiver Clarence McCloud for a 36-yard touchdown. With 7:14 remaining in the first quarter, Murray ran for a 37-yard touchdown, giving the Bucs a 14-0 lead. Following running back Robinson’s run to the 1-yard line at the end of the first quarter, Emmanuel Y’Israel finished the drive off with a push into the end zone at the start of the second. Minutes later, Robinson ran in for another touchdown. He said it felt good when he scored his first touchdown of the game. “It felt good because my grandpa just passed away recently,” he said. “This game was for him — Dwight Benjamin.” Robinson transferred from Seabreeze to Mainland this year along with fellow Sandcrabs Chris Rivera and Lawrence Campbell. He said it was strange to play against Seabreeze because his opponents were his teammates when his high school football career started. “I had a lot of love for my brothers (out there),” he said. “I just wanted to be better (than them). It was kind of tough because I really didn’t want to hurt my brothers. I grew up with them so I couldn’t beat them too bad. All I have to say is they fought. I give them that — they fought.” Seabreeze sophomore wide receiver Xavier Lucas intercepted Murray’s pass and followed it up with

a 36-yard sprint into the end zone before the half. Seabreeze became the first team to score against Mainland since September. Denali Campbell scored the last touchdown of the game. The Sandcrabs’ top pass receiver, Landon Smith, missed the game due to illness. Campbell said they would have been more competitive if they were not missing some of their starters but recognized that the level of skill of Mainland’s defense was undeniable. “Their defense was good,” he said. “Every run, every pass — they were there. They were flowing with the ball. I give them credit.” Robinson scored another touchdown before halftime and Mainland’s Jontrell Edwards followed suit in the third quarter. Defensive
end L.J. McCray, who recently committed to the University of Florida, scored the last touchdown for the Buccaneers after intercepting a pass by Campbell. Mainland plays host to Lake Mary (8-1) in its regular-season finale on Friday, Nov. 3. The Rams lost their first game of the season on Oct. 27, 29-28 to Seminole after losing by one point to Seminole and Seabreeze plays Lake Mary. Seabreeze hosts North Marion on Thursday, Nov. 2. Robinson said he is looking forward to the next game. “The game next week is going to be a big one,” he said. “I got a thing for (Lake Mary) because they said we can’t do it against a good team. I just got to go for better than I did tonight. I’m going to show everyone what we can do against a good team.”

playing our best football, because once you get that opportunity, anything can happen.” Mills and Braden Russell had interceptions against the Falcons, but Matanzas also turned the ball over five times with two lost fumbles and three picks. Dakwon Evans threw the touchdown pass to Mills and scored on a 2-yard run with 1:26 left in the second quarter. But the Falcons (4-5) controlled possession for most of the game. “Too many third-down conversions kept the ball in their hands for long periods of time,” Forrest said. “We didn’t make big plays this week. In prior games we have. It’s a credit to Pedro and how well they’re coached.” The Pirates failed on both of their 2-point conversion attempts following their touchdowns, which turned out to be the difference in the game. This week’s game against Winter Springs will be senior night. Matanzas will honor its 12 senior football players as well as senior band members, color guard and student athletic trainer aides.

Matanzas senior Jordan Mills caught a 30-yard touchdown pass with 5:41 left in the game, but the Pirates failed to convert the 2-pointer and fell to host Pedro Menendez 14-12 on Oct. 27. “We just didn’t make enough plays. We had too many mistakes on both sides of the ball,” Matanzas coach Matt Forrest said. The Pirates (6-3) are still on track to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020. They host winless Winter Springs in their regular-season finale on Friday, Nov. 3. “We have to win the football game Friday night and see if we’re in the bracket on Sunday,” Forrest said. “It’s out of our hands at this point.
