BRIEFS USDA awards $25 million for Lake to Lagoon Program The Lake to Lagoon regional conservation partnership program, which includes Volusia County as a key member, has been awarded $25 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conserve sensitive agricultural lands and implement conservation and land management activities that will bolster climate resiliency. The Lake to Lagoon area includes the low-lying counties of Volusia, Lake and Flagler, which are home to more than a million residents and a diversity of wildlife, wildlands, rural farms, and timberlands. The Alachua Conservation Trust leads the Lake to Lagoon program in collaboration with Volusia County and Stetson University’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience. Volusia County is the largest contributor to the program, having provided $20 million in matching funds through the voter-approved Volusia Forever program. The program will begin in 2024 and run through 2029.

City industrial park needs better cell service?
Planning Board member Al Jorczak suggested during the board’s meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9, that the city look at ways to improve cell phone service at the Airport Business Park off Airport Road. “This is an issue that has been going on for as long as we’ve been out there,” Jorczak said. “The efforts earlier to put a tower in proximity to the area that would help the business owners out there hasn’t transpired.” About eight years ago, he said, the board discussed cell service for emergency and law enforcement communications. He said maybe it was time to revisit the issue from a business standpoint.
City facilities to close for Thanksgiving
Ormond Beach City Hall and all non-emergency facilities will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 23 and Friday, Nov. 24, in observance of Thanksgiving.
The City Commission will review the deletion of the I-2 zoning district at its Dec. 5 meeting.
The Ormond Beach Planning Board unanimously recommended the deletion of the newly recreated I-2 “Heavy Industrial” zoning district at its meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9. This comes after weeks of residents asking the city to eliminate the zoning designation, approved via a land development code amendment on Aug. 1, to prevent Belvedere Terminals’ construction of a fuel farm at 874 Hull Road. The company recently stated it plans to build three fuel storage tanks with about 12.6 million gallons of capacity at the property in unincorporated Volusia County. The heavy industrial zoning designation had been created to provide the neighboring Halifax Paving property at 860 Hull Road and 1399
Hull Trail with a compatible zoning designation once the city annexed the company’s 52 acres of land, which has a heavy industrial zoning designation from Volusia County. Properties annexed into the city have a legal right to be assigned a land use and zoning that matches what they had in the county. According to a city staff report, the city agreed to process Halifax Paving’s zoning as a “Planned Industrial Development” rather than I-2. Halifax Paving is building a new office building. “It is a zoning district where they can add the uses that they’re doing now and they have historically done, but they’re not going to incorporate all the potential I-2 zoning district
(uses),” City Planning Director Steven Spraker said. “So that was a solution for the property that we have that needs to be assigned a zoning district.” There are currently no properties in the city with the heavy industrial zoning designation. Three residents from Bear Creek spoke at the Planning Board meeting, all in favor of deleting the city’s heavy industrial zoning district to prevent the proposed fuel farm. “Please continue to do whatever you can to prevent the fuel farm on Hull Road,” resident Patricia Franzem said. The City Commission will review the deletion of the I-2 zoning district at its Dec. 5 meeting.
“They chew through tax dollars, and their budget is larger than ours.”

Tomoka Christian seeks to build Care Center
Tomoka Christian Church is looking to build a new Care Center at its property at 1450 Hand Ave. Representatives with Zev Cohen and Associates and MGN Contracting met with the Ormond Beach Site Plan Review Committee on Oct. 25 to discuss the construction of a 10,000-square-foot twostory building to house a food pantry, consignment shop and counseling services. The consignment shop, according to the meeting’s minutes, will account for 6,000 square feet of the building. The church will need to go through the city’s review process to get a special exception amendment for the new care center, to be reviewed by the Planning Board and City Commission at public hearings.

‘Our nation stands stronger for their service’ Ormond Memorial Art Museum recognizes veterans in annual tribute. ALEXIS MILLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Ormond Memorial Art Museum hosted its annual Veteran’s Day tribute on Saturday, Nov. 11. Audrey Butler, president of the OMAM board of directors, welcomed attendees with an opening speech and introduced the Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington to give the Veteran’s Day proclamation. “We pay tribute to the fallen, the missing, the wounded, the millions who served and the millions more who awaited their return,” Partington said. “Our nation stands stronger for their service, and we honor their proud legacy with our deepest gratitude.” The Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Joint Color Guard presented the flag for the pledge of allegiance, led by Ormond Beach Police Chief and U.S. Army veteran Jesse Godfrey, and for the presentation of colors. Performances by the Daytona Beach Choral Society welcomed guests as they entered and honored each branch of veterans at the end of the ceremony with the United States Armed Forces Medley. The guest speakers were U.S. Coast Guard Reserves Cmdr. Anita Williams and retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. John Higgins, who spoke about their time in the military. “In the wake of devastation and destruction of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I felt compelled to serve my country and to share my personal and professional passions for law The Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Joint Color Guard presents the flag for the pledge of allegiance.
Retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. John Higgins earned his wings in July 1982 in Texas.
“Thank you for honoring our veterans today, and let’s walk toward tomorrow still honoring them by living and defending the freedom they protected, remembering their great deeds and salute those who are currently fighting for freedom.”

said. “I give this really quick glimpse of what motivated me to dedicate my life to what I believe is something greater than myself.” Williams recently retired from her career as a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives special agent for the U.S. Department of Justice. “Veteran’s Day isn’t just for veterans,” she said. “It’s a day for all Americans to remember why they were fighting, a day for all of us to begin our journey, for protecting our

freedom and the freedom of many generations to come.” Higgins started his journey in the Navy in September 1969 and trained as an aviation machinist mate. He later began learning how to fly after being reassigned and earned his wings in July 1982. In December 2000, he retired after 30 years of service. Higgins now helps out at the Military Officers Association of Halifax, a group for retired officers and veterans. After the ceremony, guests were invited back to the museum for refreshments and appetizers, compliments of the Pilot Club of Daytona Beach, and to enjoy the artwork displayed by Hope4Veterans. Hope4Veterans is a nonprofit organization that helps military women through education and mentoring to prevent isolation, homelessness, and mental health issues. Williams stressed her gratitude for honoring veterans at the ceremony. “Thank you for honoring our veterans today, and let’s walk toward tomorrow still honoring them by living and defending the freedom they protected, remembering their great deeds and salute those who are currently fighting for freedom,” Williams said. “Find your purpose to live for something greater than yourself.”

Volusia seeks help to relocate fuel farm Ormond commissioner Sargent files for reelection
County aims for $4.5 million in state funds. Belvedere Terminals has spent $3 million to $4 million on engineering and design. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
Volusia County is seeking $4.5 million in state funding to relocate the proposed Ormond Beach fuel farm by Belvedere Terminals. At the County Council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 7, Volusia Deputy County Manager Suzanne Konchan said the county, its lobbyists and Rep. Tom Leek’s office have been working on an appropriations document to acquire the funding. “It is necessary to help prepare an alternative site, with say utilities or road infrastructure, to relocate the facility to a more appropriate place than its current site,” Konchan said. The Observer reached out to a spokesperson representing Belvedere Terminals, asking if the company was aware Volusia was seeking funding to prepare an alternative site for its proposed fuel farm at 874 Hull Road in unincorporated Volusia County near Ormond Beach. “We continue to work with the county and the city, and we are not a part of any request for state funding,” Tim Schwarz, chief financial officer of Belvedere Terminals, said
SCHOOL BOARD OPPOSES FUEL FARM
campuses located in Volusia County, Balgobin wrote, are within 10 miles of the proposed fuel farm location, and hundreds of students practice and play at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. “In the event of a natural disaster, the proposed site is in the storm surge area,” Balgobin wrote. “Potential catastrophic events and environmental impact on the proposed site will cut off access to these schools, students and staff.” In a previous interview with the Observer, Schwarz said he understood citizens had safety concerns regarding the fuel farm, but that his company is focused on this as well and plans to implement technology to prevent disasters and keep impacts onsite.
On Tuesday, Nov. 14, the Volusia County Council received a letter from Volusia County Schools Superintendent Carmen Balgobin outlining the School Board’s opposition to the project. The letter was shared on Facebook by Volusia County Council Chair Jeff Brower. The letter states that an incident caused at the fuel farm, if constructed, could potentially impact 5,447 students within a 5-mile impact zone, and 13,387 students in a 10-mile impact zone. According to a map accompanying the letter, 15 schools are located within the 10-mile impact zone, including all Ormond Beach schools. More than 20% of school
in a statement. The St. Petersburg-based company plans to build a fuel terminal consisting of three tanks with about 300,000 barrels of fuel storage on site, or about 12.6 million gallons. In a previous interview, Schwarz told the Observer that Belvedere had spent between $3 million and $4 million on engineering and design work for the development of the property at 874 Hull Road. Residents have been staunchly opposed to the proposed fuel farm due to its proximity to neighbor-

Ormond Beach City Commissioner Travis Sargent is seeking a second term in office. Sargent, who represents Zone 2 on the commission, filed for reelection on Oct. 20. A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, Sargent was elected in 2022. He has worked in insurance for over 20 years and grew up in Ormond Beach. Sargent decided to seek a second term because he’s been able to see some of his key issues make progress in the city. “I feel ready to give two more years,” Sargent said. “The things I ran on the first time — which was updating technology and the chambers, the website — those were big items for me that I wanted to get accomplished that I feel like breed transparency to the city.” Those projects are out for bid and Sargent hopes to see the improvements implemented soon. Some of the issues he’s proud to have been a part of, he said, include the fight against the proposed Belvedere Terminals fuel farm, namely taking the stance to not provide util-
hoods, the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport and local businesses and manufacturers.

ities to the unincorporated Volusia County site, and being able to raise pay for police officers. If reelected, he said, he looks forward to continuing to help people as well as figure out ways to automate processes to save money at City Hall. He’d like to take the next year to figure out ways to reduce costs and reduce taxes. Sargent added he’d also like to look into reducing the pollutants going into the Halifax River. Transparency is also a key issue for Sargent, and he’d like to continue ensuring information is accessible for residents through social media and in local newspapers. “I’m looking forward to just continuing the momentum that we have and doing what’s best for all of Ormond Beach,” Sargent said.

AdventHealth’s new prostate procedure RV gift helps celebrate first year of Flagler CORe With the help of a robot, Palm Coast Parkways’ Dr. Ali Tourchi performs aquablation therapy, which uses precise mapping and a water jet to remove tissue.

Dr. Ali Tourchi learned how to perform aquablation therapy to treat noncancerous enlarged prostates when he was a urology resident in Arkansas. Now, Tourchi is performing the procedure at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway. He is the only physician in Flagler, Volusia or Lake counties performing the minimally invasive procedure. Instead of incisions or lasers, the procedure involves a jet of water delivered by a robot to remove tissue at precise locations. Tourchi maps out a full view of the prostate using both ultrasound imaging and a camera which is inserted through the urethra. “We tell our robot where the aquablation zone is based on the ultrasound and direct view of the prostate,” Tourchi said. “Then we will use high-pressure cold water to cut through the prostate to open up the channel which has been obstructed by a big prostate, which is very common in men over age 50.” The procedure takes about an hour, with the robotic treatment itself lasting just five minutes. Since October, Tourchi and his team have performed 11 aquablation treatments. All of them have been successful, he said. “It usually takes six weeks to see the full effectiveness of it, but many of our patients, even two weeks after,

they’re impressed by the results,” Tourchi said. “Some of our patients had other types of surgery for their prostate but it didn’t work as they expected, and they had this kind of surgery, and they were all impressed.” With such a detailed view of the prostate, Tourchi is able to tell the robot exactly how deep and at what angle to direct the water. “Each patient gets the treatment that is perfect for them,” he said. “Prostate tissue can go to different depths. Based on the findings of the surgeons’ imaging, the robot finds the perfect depths, which doesn’t cause any damage to other tissues around the prostate. That’s why it causes less chances of erectile dysfunction, less chances of patients having sexual dysfunction, meaning having a difficulty in ejaculation,
“Some of our patients had other types of surgery for their prostate but it didn’t work as they expected, and they had this kind of surgery, and they were all impressed by it.” DR. ALI TOURCHI
and less chances of bleeding after the surgery.” Because of the precision of the treatment, 10 out of 10 men do not leak urine after undergoing the procedure, Tourchi said. “The problem with previous procedures was that we were using either heat or electricity, which caused a lot of irritation to the bladder and prostate or a lot of bleeding. Patients needed to stay in the hospital for a long time,” Tourchi said. The robot is not mobile, so the procedure is only available at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway in the three-county area. It is also available at AdventHealth Celebration, Winter Garden and Kissimmee, according to an AdventHealth press release. Tourchi said a waiting list for the procedure is almost nonexistent. “If they need the surgery, we will offer it to them right away,” he said. “We are proud to serve the county of Flagler and surrounding counties. And we are blessed to be at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway to have this robot available.”
Flagler Cares celebrated the first anniversary of the Flagler County Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORe) initiative with an open house and a gift to one of its partners in the program. “Together, we’re making a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of our community,” said Flagler Cares Chief Innovation Officer Jeannette Simmons, who is the program coordinator for Flagler County CORe. In the year since the county received a $1.2 million grant from the Florida Department of Health to establish the CORe, 154 people have participated in CORe’s recovery services, with 89 currently enrolled. The Department of Health in Flagler County selected Flagler Cares to coordinate multiple agencies that work together to treat and care for people during each stage of recovery. The program is being funded by the Florida Department of Children and Families and LSF Health Systems. After the Nov. 7 open house at Flagler Cares’ offices, Flagler Open Arms Recovery Services held a ribbon cutting in the City Market Place parking lot for the RV — Recovery Vehicle — that Flagler Cares provided. The RV will allow Flagler OARS to bring services to people who might not have transportation. “One of the big barriers to recovery is transportation,” said Pam Birtolo, Flagler OARS’ executive director. “They can’t get to a doctor or therapist, so we said, ‘Let’s go to where they are and bring services there.’” Services include peer support, HIV and Hepatitis C testing and Nar-

can distribution. Flagler OARS also hopes to partner with the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide ID cards. Flagler OARS has received permission from the county to provide services at the county’s parks. The RV will stop weekly at Hidden Trails Park in Bunnell to provide peer services and distribute Narcan, Outreach Lead Eric Hoeni said. “All these different agencies want to get to people, but the people can’t get to them,” Birtolo said. Other partner agencies and organizations involved in the CORe initiative include Flagler County Fire Rescue Community Paramedicine and Outreach Community Care Network. Since the start of the initiative, Community Paramedicine has administered 240 in-field doses of buprenorphine, a medicationassisted treatment for opioid use disorders to help control cravings, paramedic Tracy Farmer said. The program then progresses to include peer recovery services, behavioral health, housing and social care navigation, psychiatric evaluation and services and group counseling and support. Flagler Pharmacy Manager Pat Patel attended the open house. The Flagler Pharmacy in Flagler Beach provides free flu shots and COVID vaccinations for uninsured patients, he said. Simmons thanked former DOHFlagler administrator Bob Snyder for reaching out to Flagler Cares to coordinate the program. She also thanked Flagler Cares Chief Executive Officer Carrie Baird “for saying, ‘Yes, let’s do this!’”

A resident on Tree House Place called deputies out to the street when she saw a pickup truck pull up in front of one new-home construction site and then drive down to another site on the same street, according to an arrest report. When the deputy showed up and questioned the two adult men, the men said they were dumpster diving. In the bed of the suspects’ truck was a box of unused drywall joint compound, wood boards — some with nails stuck in them — and several lengths of wire. The compound retails for $16.49, the report said. The father admitted to entering the construction build, but said they found the compound box next to the dumpster.

Flagler sheriff conducts traffic stop, catches fugitive Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly conducted a traffic stop on Nov. 6 that led to the arrest of three people. Staly pulled over a Chrysler van with six occupants in Bunnell near State Road 100 and County Road 55 for passing two cars in a double yellow no-passing zone, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office press release. Two of the passengers were arrested on a variety of drug posses-
BRIEFS Wadsworth Park skate park closes for renovations The skate park area in Wadsworth Park has closed for repair and renovation, Flagler County Parks and Recreation announced on Wednesday, Nov. 8. The rest of the park will remain open. The county government will begin repairing ramp sections and a section of concrete at the skatepark starting Monday, Nov. 13 according to the Flagler County government. “We will remove the section that cannot be repaired, repair the section that can be repaired and replace a small area of concrete that has failed,” Flagler County General
sion charges, and the driver had a warrant from Putnam County for child support. The driver initially gave Staly a false name and was driving with a suspended license, according to the press. The driver has been charged with providing a false name and driving with a suspended license. During a search of the van, backup deputies found several narcotics including fentanyl, cathinones, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, according to the press release.
Services Director Mike Dickson said in an email. The skate park area is expected to reopen by the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 17. Flagler Beach resident Jay Wolfington started a petition on Change.org on Nov. 8 to get the skate park area fixed. The petition had 1,064 signatures as of the afternoon of Nov. 13. In the synopsis for the petition, Wolfington wrote that Flagler Beach does not have enough positive recreational outlets for its youth. “Rebuilding the Flagler Beach Skatepark would not only provide an outlet for physical activity but also foster a sense of community among our youth,” Wolfington wrote. “It would serve as a safe space where they can find mentorship and camaraderie just as I did during my formative years.”

YOUR TOWN AMERICAN LEGION MARKS VETERAN’S 100TH BIRTHDAY American Legion Post 115 has thrown a birthday party for World War II veteran Mary German. German turned 100 on Friday, Nov. 10. The post hosted the dance party — which was combined with a celebration honoring the Marine Corps Ball — at the Veterans of Foreign Affairs building. “I’m living for today,” German said. “I feel very much alive, so I thank God every day.” In 1943, at 20 years old, German enlisted in the newly-formed Naval Reserves Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Services program, according to a press release from the American Legion post. After basic training in New York, German was trained for medical duty in Bethesda, Maryland, and
STATE BRIEF Legislature sanctions Iran, boosts security at Jewish schools Wrapping up a special legislative session shadowed by the war between Israel and Hamas, the Florida Senate on Wednesday, Nov. 8, passed measures to expand sanctions against Iran and provide money to bolster security at Jewish day schools and preschools. The Senate unanimously approved the bills, which passed the House on Tuesday. They are ready to go to Gov. Ron DeSantis. Legislative leaders called the special session after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, touching off a war that has killed thousands of people in Israel and Gaza. While the special session also

finished her two-year enlistment at a U.S. Naval Hospital in Shoemaker, California. Around 100 people attended German’s party, including City Council member Cathy Heighter, the Department of Florida American Legion Cmdr. Michael Raymond, and Assistant Judge Advocate Gene Smith, according to the press release.
Post 115 Finance Officer Ophelia Beier helped arrange the party for German. Beier said that as a veteran herself, she thanked German “for her valor, strength, courage and deidcation for leading the way for other female veterans in the military.”
addressed issues such as providing aid to areas hit by Hurricane Idalia, lawmakers focused heavily on showing support for Israel and Jewish residents of Florida. That included passing bills to target Iran, a key backer of Hamas, and to counter a rise in anti-Semitism. One of the bills (HB 5C) would expand restrictions on state investments in businesses with ties to Iran. The measure would expand a 2007 law that requires the State Board of Administration to divest from what are known as “scrutinized” companies with links to Iran’s petroleum industry. Certain financial criteria are used in determining whether companies land on the scrutinized list. The State Board of Administration manages Florida’s massive pension fund and other investments. Under the bill, the investment restrictions would expand to other types of industries, such as the financial, construction, manufacturing, textile and manufacturing
sectors. House and Senate bill sponsors acknowledged they do not know how many companies could be affected by the expansion. But supporters said it is important for Florida to show that it does not want state money supporting Iran. “They don’t want America to survive,” Sen. Jay Collins, R-Tampa, said Wednesday before the Senate passed the bill. “They stand in opposition to everything we stand for.” But some Democratic lawmakers questioned whether the bill would have much effect. Among other things, the federal government has imposed a wide range of economic sanctions against Iran in the decades since hostages were taken at the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979. “I just want to make sure we’re doing real things here, as opposed to puffery,” Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Sunny Isles Beach, said. –JIM SAUNDERS, THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Volusia lobbies to change affordable housing law that affects Home Rule Lobbyists are presenting legislators with almost 20 recommendations for changes to the newly created Live Local Act. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
Volusia officials are asking state legislators to amend a recently signed affordable housing bill that lets developers build apartments at the highest allowed density without authorization from local governments. Senate Bill 102, also known as the Live Local Act, went into effect in July. The law grants developers the right to build these high-density multifamily or mixed-use residential buildings on land zoned commercial, industrial or mixed-use, as long as at least 40% of units are slated for affordable housing. If the number of affordable housing units meets the law’s standard, developers would get a 75% or 100% property tax exemption for 30 years. But the law is instead causing threats of negative impacts in Volusia cities. DeBary City Manager Carmen Rosamonda, who is spearheading the Volusia charge to amend the law, said at the Roundtable of Volusia
County Elected Officials meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, that the bill’s language permits tax exemptions to developers renting out apartments at the current market rate. “This is going to create a lot of apartments, but it’s not going to create a lot of affordable housing,” Rosamonda said. The Live Local Act states that developers can qualify for a 75% property tax exemption if they rent 40% of apartment units to people whose annual household income “is greater than 80% but not more than 120% of the median annual adjusted gross income for households within the metropolitan statistical area.” To qualify for a 100% tax exemption, the units would need to be rented to people whose median income doesn’t exceed the 80% median annual adjusted gross income. The median household income for the Deltona-Daytona BeachOrmond Beach metropolitan area is $78,700, according to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. The 80% to 120% income range for a one-person household is $43,360 to $65,040. Based on rent limits as outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for between $1,162 and $1,743 to qualify as an eligible affordable housing unit for a Live Local development.

DeBary City Manager Carmen Rosamonda speaks at the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting at the county Emergency Operations Center on Monday, Nov. 13.
According to Rent.com, the average rent in Daytona Beach for a onebedroom apartment is $1,664. “It just funds current market rate, and so when it funds current market rate, it becomes pure profit,” Rosamonda said. The law also creates an “unfair competitive marketplace,” he added, since there will be apartments paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes while the new Live Local apartments — renting units out at the same or similar rates — will be mostly or entirely tax exempt. “And so what we have to do is change the law, make sure that the tax exemption — whatever they get, if you really, truly want to do affordable housing — that they have to use the tax exemption to subsidize rental rates,” Rosamonda said. In June, Ormond Beach City Commissioners begrudgingly approved the 270-unit Tymber Creek Apartments development at 36 N. Tymber Creek Road with a 4-1 vote, mainly because the developer could have built up to 525 units on the 19-acre property under the Live Local Act guidelines. Commissioners said they believed it was “too important a gamble” to take. Rosamonda and Volusia lobbyists, with input from other Volusia County municipalities, are meeting with Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo on Tuesday, Nov. 14, in Tallahassee to present almost 20 recommendations for changes to the law. Among those proposed changes are eliminating the 80% to 120% median income range and using only 80% or less for the rent limits; exempting commercial, industrial and mixed uses within Planned Unit Developments; exempting jurisdictions with a population of 30,000 or less; and eliminating the high density requirement and capping it at 12 units per acre. When these changes were proposed to the Volusia County legislative delegation, they received a mixed reaction, County Councilman Jake Johansson said at the meeting. He asked Rosamonda if that had changed.
PALM COAST LOOKS TO INCORPORATE LIVE LOCAL ACT IN DEVELOPMENTS Some community members in Palm Coast and Flagler County are looking for ways to embrace the Live Local Act in the Flagler County community. Palm Coast Planning Board Vice Chair Sandra Shank said local developers have already expressed interest in using Live Local Act incentives in their developments. Shank said the Live Local Act opens doors to address the affordable housing crisis in a community without creating concentrated poverty. “It removes barriers for developers who are interested in affordable housing,” Shank said. “Not just your traditional developers, but even nonprofit developers.” The Live Local Act, which passed the Senate in March, incentivizes developers and builders to include affordable housing in their developments. Shank said a lot of people have a stereotyped understanding of what affordable housing means. “Affordable” simply means that only 30% of household income is spent on housing. “When you think about your essential services,” Shank said, “those are the people, those are the workers, who are in need of affordable housing.”
Rosamonda said the legislators were “softening.” “They’re realizing from the business side (that) this doesn’t make any sense,” he said. “And they realize that this bill misses the target on affordable housing and incentivizes it in the wrong direction.” Both the Florida Association of Counties and the Florida League of Cities originally supported the passing of the Live Local Act. Rosamonda said that when his group met with the Florida League of Cities, they
According to Realtor.com, in October, the median listing price for a home in Flagler County was $424,900. The median household income in 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, was $62,305. Palm Coast City Council member Cathy Heighter said the Flagler County Affordable Housing Committee is also working on an agreement between developers to use the Live Local Act, though the details are still in the planning stages. “It is tough out here — for the young, the old and the middleaged,” Heighter said. Heighter said it is important to remember that the people who need affordable housing in Palm Coast and Flagler County are teachers, restaurant servers, lab technicians and first responders. And as the city continues to grow, Palm Coast needs them to live here, too. “What is so project-y about that?” Heighter said. “A schoolteacher, that’s teaching your child in school, wanting to live in a decent home?” — SIERRA WILLIAMS, STAFF WRITER
expressed that they would support a revision bill. Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette, who serves on the board of directors for the Florida League of Cities, said they are working to set their legislative priorities for 2024 and that the Live Local Act is a “very large topic of conversation.” “I doubt very seriously that the leadership of Florida League of Cities is going to not listen to us because we’re going to rattle some sabers pretty loudly,” Burnette said.

Schnitzel Time, a German restaurant at 1755 Palm Harbor Parkway in Palm Coast, opened on Wednesday, Nov. 9, after a six-month wait. The Schnitzel Time sign has been up on the building for months at the former pizza restaurant next to the BP station. “People had been walking in and asking us on our Facebook page, ‘When are you going to open?’” Sven Himmel, the manager, said. “The kitchen hood here was not the right one for our business, and the first company took forever. Watson & Company made it in three-and-a-half weeks and installed it. It was an awesome job.” The restaurant opened at 11 a.m., and by 11:05, about 10 people were waiting oin line to order.

A grand opening celebration will be held on Nov. 18. “What a location,” said Jacqueline Rusher, co-founder of Kava Culture and Botanical Brewing Co. “There’s such a great vibe here, it’s easy to get to, and the community has been so welcoming.

his wife, Bozena Himmel, the only employees. “We’ll have to see how busy we’ll be (before hiring additional employees),” Sven Himmel said. But after a very busy first three days they began advertising for part-time help. The menu is also small, with a variety of pork schnitzel and bratwurst offerings, German mac and cheese and sides including spaetzle, homemade potato salad and cucumber salad. Beverages include soft drinks and German beer. The food is authentic. Sven’s parents were restaurant owners in Germany, where he grew up in the restaurant business. Bozena, who is from Poland,
worked in Sven’s restaurant before they moved to Palm Coast about a year and a half ago. Helmut Wachter, who is from Austria, met Bozena on social media and asked her questions about moving to the United States. He moved his whole family to Palm Coast about 10 months ago. “We want to cook fresh. Everything is homemade — the sausage, cucumber salad, potato salad, spaetzle and all of the sauces — everything except the french fries,” Sven said. Sven makes the sausage and cuts the schnitzel. Bozena breads and fries the schnitzel. The two couples originally thought about opening a food

truck here but they found out the food truck business in Palm Coast is hard, Sven said. Then they found the closed restaurant on Palm Harbor Parkway. “It was dirty when we first got here. We cleaned with five people every day for two weeks,” Sven said. They brought in new booths, tables and chairs. Sven said eventually they want to add daily specials to the menu, but with only four employees they want to feel comfortable in the kitchen first.

business. Weigh Your Anchor Charters set sail in October, with its first charter on Nov. 4. The couple did not come to Palm Coast with the idea of opening their own business, but to retire. Thompson retired from the Navy in 2004 as a lieutenant commander, and the Thompsons moved to Palm Coast in 2016. “[Palm Coast is] just a good, all-around area for what our hobbies and interests were,” Thompson. In January 2023, the couple really began considering starting a charter business. By June, Thompson said, he had swapped out their bass boat — a boat generally designed for speed in shallower waters — for a bay boat — a bigger boat that seats eight for offshore trips. Originally, he said, Weigh Your Anchor Charters was supposed to weigh anchor over the summer, but it was delayed by paperwork. Thompson has a Masters Captain license with the U.S. Coast Guard and uses a Sportsman Masters 227 bay boat. Shelly Thompson — who is just as fond of boating and almost as fond of fishing as her husband — handles the administrative side of the job and will act as a tour guide on some charters. As a veteran-owned-andoperated business, Weigh Your Anchors offers a 20% discount to all active-duty military, veterans and first responders. Their first charter on Nov. 4 was a fishing excursion for employees at American Scaffolding in Jacksonville, Thompson said. “[November is] definitely not the weather that we were expecting to get started in,” Shelly Thompson said, laughing. “We were hoping for warmer, prettier weather.” Fishing trips are just one of five different tours that Weigh Your Anchors offers. The charter business also offers trips out to the sand bars, an eco tour that shows off historic sites and local wildlife, a combination tour that combines the historic forts, wildlife and scenery and a sunset tour — a two-hour cruise along the intracoastal waterway to watch the sun set. “There’s a little concern that when you make your passion, your job, how does that impact your passion?” he said. “I don’t think that it will ever come to that. … But that’s why we want to do tours, too. It’s not just fishing.”

Veterans were welcomed back by Mayor Bill Partington, who thanked them for their service. “Veterans Day is a day to honor you, to thank you and to celebrate you,” Partington said. “And I know for our Vietnam vets, we want to welcome you home in a way that maybe didn’t happen back when you first came home.” The event featured two guest speakers: Army veteran Trey-Shawn Perez, of Team Red, White, and Blue Daytona; and Diamond Johnson, curator of youth and outreach programs at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum. Perez, who served in Iraq, said Veterans Day is not a day to commemorate a specific date on the calendar, but one to reflect upon its significance. “It’s a day where we unite to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and preserve the values we hold dear,” Perez said. “It is a day when we remember the sacrifices, the courage and the unwavering dedication of those have served.” As an ambassador for Team RWB, an organization that supports the health and wellness of veterans, he said that Team RWB recognizes that a veteran’s journey doesn’t end with their service.

Make yourself at home
Aisles to go before I sleep: grocery shopping with Luke To my 5-year-old son, Luke, the aisles of Walmart seem to be designed to be experienced with all five senses.
BRIAN MCMILLAN PUBLISHER
To me, the aisles of Walmart after a long day of work are a labyrinth, designed to hedge me in and prevent me from ever going home. To my 5-year-old son, Luke, the aisles of Walmart after a boring afternoon at home are interactive exhibits in a children’s museum, designed to be experienced with all five senses. “Please, I beg you, put that down and don’t touch anything else until
LETTERS Correcting the record Dear Editor: I’d like to correct some misinfor-
next week,” is my refrain on our family shopping adventure. Even in “Baking,” the most boring food aisle of all, he makes a beeline to the packaging with the brightest colors. “But Mom, these are healthy for you!” he cries. “Look: ‘Mini fruit marshmallows.’” Over her shoulder, my wife, Hailey, says, “They’re just trying to trick you.” At first, Luke looks outraged at being so casually dismissed, but then he looks inquisitive. Maybe Mom is on to something. Trying to trick me? “How do you know?” he asks. But if he’s hoping for any further wisdom from his mother, he’s going to be disappointed. It’s late, and we have aisles to go before we sleep.
“Because I’m smart, and I’ve seen marshmallows before,” she says. I turn to Luke to see if he’s persuaded by this explanation, but he has already teleported to the next sugary treat. After hearing the word “no,” in every possible intonation, Luke knows that neither Hailey nor I will fall victim to his fantasies of a Willy Wonka shopping spree. Rather than get upset, though, he tries a more sophisticated tactic: financial independence. “How many moneys do I have?” he asks. When Luke earns money or gets a cash gift from grandparents, we don’t actually give him the cash; Hailey updates a Google Sheet on her phone. “Never mind about that,” I say. “I’ll buy it with my own money!” “Now is not the time, Luke. You still have so much Halloween candy at home.”
But how can we in good conscience deny Luke’s inalienable right to spend his own money as he pleases? The parents are foiled again. Luke triumphantly rides the grocery cart out of Walmart like Jack on the bow of the Titanic, clutching his treat of choice: watermelon mints. (Whatever those are.) Before long, the groceries are unpacked at home, and Luke has already plopped his watermelon mints in a glass of water at the kitchen table, completely wasting them and making a mess at the same time. In other words, in Luke’s eyes, an unqualified success of a shopping trip. Before long, I’m in bed, drifting off to sleep, visions of mini fruit marshmallows dancing in my head, on the grave of a Google Sheet full of cash.
mation as reported by the Observer. Dogs have not been allowed on the beach in Ormond Beach for 48 years. The county took control of the beach 36 years ago and continued the ban of our best friends from
the beach that the city of Ormond Beach enacted in June of 1975. And, for a point of interest, Mayor Ernest Cassen, who the park of the southwest end of the Granada bridge is named for, voted to leave the dogs to enjoy the beach, but City Com-
missioner Charles Bailey, who the park at the northwest end of the bridge is named for, voted to ban our canine family members. CHARLIE WILKES Ormond Beach

FBH, DSC AND VCS CELEBRATE LEMERAND CENTER OF EXCELLENCE On Monday, Nov. 6, Food Brings Hope, Daytona State College and Volusia County Schools cut the ribbon on the Lemerand Center of Excellence, an after-school enrichment opportunity for up to 70 students and their families who attend Palm Terrace and Turie T. Small elementary schools, two designated Title 1 schools. “It’s not just about the kids,” VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said. “It’s about the community, and it’s about doing the right thing. You also as parents, you’re doing the right thing by ensuring that your children are here every day and supporting their work. This spark that we’ve ignited here will last forever.” The mission of the Lemerand Center of Excellence program, funded through a $500,000 contribution by philanthropist L. Gale Lemerand, is to increase academic achievement by bringing tutoring and educational enrichment opportunities to students. “It needs to be a program that would make [Mr. Lemerand] proud, that would leave a legacy that [Mr. Lemerand] deserves, and this is just the beginning,” FBH Community Founder and Chair Forough B. Hosseini said. This program will take place at Daytona State College where students will be immersed with handson opportunities. Transportation to DSC will be provided to the college, as well as snacks and dinner. The program was also made possible with the help of VCS Community Involvement Specialist Dr. LaSherica Jefferies and FBH Program Director Mary Cortez.

Flagler Education Foundation donates $20,000 to Flagler Playhouse
SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
The Flagler Education Foundation has donated $20,000 to help the Flagler Playhouse rebuild from the Oct. 30 fire that destroyed the historic building on Moody Boulevard. The Playhouse held its first fundraising event for rebuilding at Woody’s Bar-B-Que on State Road 100 on Nov. 14. Foundation Executive Director Teresa Rizzo handed the check for $20,000 to Flagler Playhouse President Jerri Berry during the event. “I’ve always felt that the Playhouse is kind of like a family,” Berry said. “So seeing how that overflows into the community is amazing.” Rizzo said a lot of Flagler students and staff participate in the Playhouse, which is a big part of the community. “The Flagler Playhouse is part of our family,” Rizzo said. At the fundraiser, Berry announced that the Playhouse is planning to rebuild and thanked everyone in the community who had offered support. Berry said the playhouse is putting together several committees, including a rebuilding committee which will be headed by Chelsea Barney Herbert. Herbert, who owns 4Cs Trucking & Excavation in Bunnell, volunteered to lead the rebuilding committee. Anyone in the community who wants to help with the rebuilding efforts can contact Herbert or Berry. Herbert said she drives past the Playhouse every day on her way to work and had to find a way to pitch in. The Playhouse — as the theater and the historic church — is an important part of the Bunnell community, she said.
“It’s important to me that [the Playhouse] rebuilds in Bunnell,” Herbert said. Berry also announced that the Playhouse has found new locations for its entire 2023-2024 season of performances by coordinating with Flagler Schools and other community partners. “It’ll be a much shorter production window for each production. However, we get to still continue doing what we do,” Berry said in an interview with the Observer. “That’s pretty amazing.” Matanzas High School will host all of the Playhouse’s remaining shows, starting with “Great American Trailer Park Musical.” Berry said that show is likely to open in the last week of January, though the dates are still being finalized. Bunnell Elementary — the school Berry works at — will host the Playhouse’s Penguin Project, which works with students with disabilities and their parents and peer mentors. Rehearsals for that will begin sometime in January or February, she said. The Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center at Flagler Palm Coast High School may not have been able to make room in its schedule to host the Playhouse’s shows, Berry said, but the Fitzgerald has offered to cover the Playhouse’s custodial costs at the schools. “So, we have basically covered our entire season, which is fabulous, and now we can finalize that and focus on rebuild and fundraising efforts,” she said. “The Play That Goes Wrong,” which was set to open on Nov. 3, won’t be added back to the Playhouse’s season, but the performance isn’t going away, either. “Our hope is that that is our very first one we open with in our new facility,” Berry said. Even as planning for the season is underway, local — and some notso-local — organizations have begun supporting the Playhouse’s future rebuilding efforts. The Fitzgerald has called all the patrons for “The Play That Goes Wrong” and offered complimentary

tickets for the Fitzgerald’s “Almost ABBA” performance if the play’s tickets were donated instead of refunded, Berry said. Though the Woody’s Bar-B-Que fundraiser was the first, it will not be the last fundraiser planned on behalf of the Playhouse. Athens Theatre in DeLand will host a fundraiser for the Playhouse on Dec. 6, while the Ritz in Sanford is donating its proceeds from a fundraiser for the Orlando Greek Choir to the Playhouse. City Repertory Theatre has offered the proceeds from the last weekend of its Christmas performance. Theater Studio Palm Coast Director Steve Kaganovich also announced at the Woody’s fundraiser that The-
ater Studio will donate a portion of the proceeds from its performance of “Eight Loving Women,” by Robert Thomas. That performance will be held on Dec. 10 at Matanzas High School. “It is crazy. I’m blown away,” Berry said. “The community arts and our Central Florida Theatre Alliance group are just so generous in helping us.” Berry said that though she has not received the final report from the Florida State Fire Marshal’s inspection, the cause of the fire seems to have been electrical. “Hopefully soon we’ll be able to get in, and — those parts of the building that are salvageable — get in, start the cleaning process, start
salvaging items,” she said. One thing she’s been asked a lot is if the steeple will stay in the rebuild. The answer is yes, she said, whether that means replacing the steeple or restoring it. Berry said the original fabricator of the steeple even reached out when he had heard about the fire. Nothing has been guaranteed, Berry said, but she’s hopeful that even if the steeple does need to be replaced, she knows who the Playhouse can reach out to for cost estimates. “It’s kind of going through the stages of grief. And, you know, we’re going to be fine,” she said. “I think we’re going to be bigger, better, stronger.”

County denies request by Volusia County Schools to fund more deputies County Council members felt the school district could absorb the over $300,000 funding request. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
A request to help fund more school resource deputies was unanimously denied by the Volusia County Council, which felt that not only was the request a couple months late because the fiscal year’s budget has been passed, but that Volusia County Schools also has enough money in its budget reserves to cover the cost. “They chew through tax dollars,

BRIEFS UNF MedNexus launches program for Flagler veterans University of North Florida’s MedNexus is launching a pilot program to help veterans in Flagler County monitor their fitness and wellness using a Fitbit wearable device. This virtual care program will help veterans reach health goals, increase activity and reduce weight to prevent future hospitalizations and other significant future complications. It is led by Dr. Shyam Paryani, a retired physician and current UNF Health Administration faculty
and their budget is larger than ours,” County Councilman Troy Kent said at a Nov. 7 meeting. “They have more than enough in reserves to cover this ask, to make our schools safer. They don’t want to spend their money. They want to spend our money.” The Volusia County School Board submitted a request to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office for $762,011.35 to add seven school resource deputies and one supervising school resource sergeant to replace school guardians at eight middle schools: Creekside Middle School, Deltona Middle School, Galaxy Middle School, Heritage Middle School, Holly Hill School, Silver Sands Middle School and Southwestern Middle School. According to the county, the current contract mandates that the school board pay 55% of the total costs for school resource deputies. VSO pays the remaining 45%. The funding request would have resulted in an additional $342,905.11 expense for the Sheriff’s Office — which, per Florida law, can bill the county for services rendered or performed for governmental agencies. The money, if the funding request had been approved, would have come from the county’s reserves. Volusia County Schools has $26.8 million in reserves.
In a statement, the district said it was disappointed that the council chose not to support the request. “The discussion that took place this morning regarding the district’s budget and reserves was not relevant to the financial considerations of the interlocal agreement,” the district stated. “VCS previously had school resource deputies in these seven schools, which were removed during the pandemic and replaced with school guardians due to staffing issues. VSO has supported this initiative and assured VCS that they had the personnel to support these safety measures in our schools if the funding was approved.” The district was seeking the additional school resource deputies in hopes of increasing safety on the seven middle school campuses. This year, VCS reported 718 alcohol, drug or tobacco related incidents in middle schools, as well as 647 hitting, striking or fighting incidents in middle schools, according to data included in the presentation. Between Aug. 14 and Oct. 6, there were: 98 calls for service at Creekside Middle 71 calls for service at Deltona Middle 29 calls for service at Galaxy Mid-
dle 91 calls for service at Heritage Middle 123 calls for service at Holly Hill School 207 calls for service at Silver Sands Middle 36 calls for service at Southwestern Middle. This year, the district added two school resource officers: One at River Springs Middle School in Orange City and one at New Smyrna Middle School in New Smyrna Beach. Both schools saw a decrease in incidents during the first quarter of classes. Both are funded in a 50/50 split between the cities and the district, Kent said. Kent, an assistant principal with VCS, argued that funding the request would mean residents in municipalities — like Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach — whose tax dollars already help fund a school resource officer would have to “pay twice.” He also said he was disappointed that the district would make a funding request in the “13th hour” after the budget and tax rate has been set for the current fiscal year. “We worked really, really hard collectively during our budget session to get our tax rate as low as we could, and now in November the school
district comes to us to help them fix their problem,” Kent said. At the meeting, the district said that if the funding wasn’t approved, they would continue to have school guardians at each of the middle schools. Councilman Jake Johansson said he found it interesting that the Volusia County School Board prompted this request and highlighted its importance, but if the council turned them down, they’d continue operating as usual. “So it’s important if somebody else pays for it but if [the school district has] to pay for it, it’s not so important,” Johansson said. “I don’t believe that to be honest negotiations.” Deputy Superintendent Rachel Hazel said at the meeting that while the reserves may seem to be a large amount, the council wasn’t taking into account federal coronavirus relief dollars, known as ESSER funds. The district used ESSER funds for $46 million in reoccurring operating expenses, and the money will run out by the end of the 2023-2024 school year. “We are, in the next year with ESSER funding going away, going to incur a lot of recurring expenses,” Hazel said.
member, according to press release from UNF. An information session on the program will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29, at the Flagler County Government Services Building at 1769 E. Moody Blvd. The program will continuously monitor health parameters like heart rate, activity level, nutritional status, sleep patterns and the maximum rate of oxygen consumption during exercise, the press release said. Participants will be able to see their health status on a custom app on their smartphone, and daily emails will contain specific recommendations for health improvement. “As we honor Veterans Day this week, we are proud to launch this
health monitoring program for the Flagler County veterans community that will help those who have given so much in service to our country,” said Dr. Julie Merten, UNF MedNexus associate dean.
ing steam in his home state doesn’t bode well for his national campaign,” said Michael Binder, PORL faculty director and professor of political science. “Even if you wipe out the rest of the competition in a head-to-head, Trump leads DeSantis by 20 points.” Nikki Haley was third, with 6%; followed by Chris Christie, with 2%; and Vivek Ramaswamy with 1%, according to a news release from UNF. The rest of the candidates received less than 1%, and 8% refused to answer or said they did not know. The poll sample included 788 Florida Republican voters considered likely to vote in 2024 (they voted in primaries in 2022, 2020 and 2016 and, asked whether they expect to vote in 2024, did not state that they
probably or definitely would not). The poll also asked respondents to choose in a head-to-head race between Trump and DeSantis. Fiftynine percent said they would vote for Trump, 29% said they would vote for DeSantis, and 12% refused or said they did not know. Respondents were also asked their opinions about Trump’s actions after the 2020 election. Seventy-one percent said the statement, “he was just exercising his right to contest the election,” was the closest to their view, while 16% the statement, “he went so far that he threatened American democracy” was closest to their view, and 14% said they don’t know or refused to answer.
UNF poll: Florida Republicans prefer Trump to DeSantis
Likely Republican primary voters in Florida strongly prefer Donald Trump, with 60% indicating a vote for Trump, followed by Ron DeSantis at 21%, according to a poll from the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab. “Despite historically high approval in the polls, Governor DeSantis los-

The veterans were welcomed by PTE Principal Charlie Bynum, who said he was excited for them to see the performances students had prepared for them. “I do want to thank you for your service and your dedication, for all you’ve done for us to provide us this opportunity to have events like this,” Bynum said. “Your service is what’s done that for us.” The program, titled “A Salute to Veterans,” was organized by the Pine Trail PTA and music

THE FINE ARTS SACRED JOURNEY Orange City artist Peggy Banks says art is why she wakes up in the morning. “Creating art is my healing respite,” she said in a statement. “I choose to make happy joyful works that uplift the spirit and bring us peace and joy. Though we live in a complex and sometimes overwhelming world, I want my inner world to reflect balance and evoke positive energy.” She achieves that balance using handmade banana leaf paper and copper, saying she was drawn to the fusion of “hard and soft” materials. “I love the marriage of my handmade papers superimposed over each uniquely created copper frame because it is unlike anything I have ever seen,” she said. Banks is one of the artists featured in the Beaux Arts Annual Members’ Exhibit at the Art League of Daytona Beach at 433 S. Palmetto Ave. An opening reception is scheduled for 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19. The exhibit will run through Dec. 17. –JARLEENE ALMENAS

SPORTS Junior achievement Matanzas freshman Henry Robinson Jr. has already made a name for himself. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Henry Robinson got his first basketball recruiting call concerning his son when Henry Robinson Jr. was just a third grader. Kenoe Jordan, owner of the Nightrydas AAU program, already knew who “Junior” was. He was impressed by his size. Robinson Jr. is now a 6-foot-6½ freshman at Matanzas High School, about to begin his first season playing for his father, who is beginning his third season as the Pirates’ head boys basketball coach. “I’m really excited about that,” Robinson Jr. said. “I’ve played for my dad before, but this is going to be my first time actually playing high school ball for him.” Robinson Jr., who now plays AAU ball for the Nightrydas of South Florida, is ranked among the top 25 players nationally in the class of 2027. “The buzz got started when he was in the sixth grade,” Robinson Sr. said. “In seventh grade, he really took off.” Robinson Jr. respects his parents, but he has to sit down to look up to them. His dad is 6-3. His mom is about 5-10. “There is size in both of our families,” Robinson Sr. said. “Uncles who are 6-7, cousins who are 6-5, 6-7, but there’s nobody on either side who was 6-6 or 6-7 at age 14.” Robinson Jr. was always taller than his classmates and teammates and naturally was designated a post player — always under the basket on offense and defense — on all of his teams. That started changing three years ago when he was in the sixth grade

and he started practicing with his father’s team at Westside High School in Jacksonville. “I just put him out there with the high school kids, and he started developing guard skills,” Robinson Sr. said. “Now, he wasn’t the biggest guy on the court all the time.” Robinson Jr. is now a wing player who is comfortable playing anywhere on the court. “His athleticism is off the charts,” Robinson Sr. said. “He’s one of the top defenders his age in the country and he’s unselfish. He likes getting everybody involved.” Matanzas would be lucky to have one Division I prospect on its team, but it has two. Alex Davis, a 6-9 sophomore, is the other. Davis played in eight games with the Pirates last season after recovering from a broken tibia. He averaged 15.5 points and 13.3 rebounds. Practicing against someone his own size every day is making Robin-
son Jr. stronger and more physical, he said. The season is still days away, but he and Davis already have a nickname — the twin towers. “Yeah, that’s what people are calling us already, the twin towers and stuff,” Robinson Jr. said. He said the Pirates will try to take advantage of their height. “The first few plays of the game we’re going to look inside and see if we can get Alex hot early,” he said. On Nov. 11, a smattering of fans got to watch Davis and Robinson Jr. show off their dunking ability in a miniexhibition and play in an intrasquad scrimmage in the Pirates’ Blue and White game. Robinson Jr.’s team lost, and though it was just a scrimmage, he sounded as if his team had just lost a playoff game. “I could have done better to help us win, but that team did a good job with defense and bringing energy and effort,” he said. “My team, we should have done the same to match the energy, to make the game closer than what it was.” He is looking forward to when the real games start. Matanzas plays its first three games on the road (Jacksonville Mandarin on Nov. 20, St. Joseph on Nov. 21 and Oakleaf on Nov. 24) before hosting Camden County, Georgia, on Nov. 25. “In AAU, I play against a lot of the top players in the country, people my age. So, it’s good coming into high school and playing against people older than me, because it makes me better as a player and as a person,” he said.

New-look Matanzas girls soccer team topples Mainland 8-0 Freshman infusion leads Pirates to offensive explosion with 15 goals in two games. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
As the center back on Matanzas High’s girls soccer team, junior Eva Servello had mixed feelings about her team’s 8-0 victory against Mainland on Thursday, Nov. 9. The victory was great, she said, but … “I like getting touches on the ball.” There weren’t many touches for the Pirates’ defenders as Matanzas kept the ball in its attacking half of the field most of the contest. The game ended by mercy rule less than 10 minutes into the second half when freshman Siena Gutierrez scored the Pirates’ eighth goal on a free kick. Through their first two games this season, the Pirates (2-0) have shown they are a much more explosive team than they have been in recent years. Last year, Matanzas went 1-8-3 and scored a total of seven goals. The Pirates matched that total in their season opener, defeating Jacksonville Englewood 7-0 on Nov. 8. Their offense has been boosted by a group of newcomers. The Pirates have added five freshmen and two juniors, all of whom are experienced club players. Most of the newcomers are home-school students.
“As young as this group is, they bring a lot of knowledge of the game,” Matanzas coach Scott Crooke said. “They have a good work ethic, good personalities and they’re all good people. These girls came here because they knew what we wanted to build. It sure as heck wasn’t because of our winning streak.” Junior Naomi Cordero and her sister, freshman Rebeka Cordero, are home schoolers who played soccer last year for First Baptist Christian Academy in Bunnell. “We prayed about it,” Naomi Cordero said of their decision to join the Pirates. Naomi Cordero and freshman Kaylin Henthorn each scored two goals against Mainland. Freshman Isabella Hopkins and sophomore Emma Skinner, a home-school student who moved in from North Carolina, also scored. Skinner and Henthorn each had two assists. Junior Cassidy Simon was the only goal scorer in the game who was a member of the Pirates’ team last year. Servello has been with the Pirates for three seasons. She believes Matanzas can make the playoffs this year for the first time in her high school career. “My freshman year, we had a pretty good team with a lot of seniors,” she said. “Last year, we won one game. This year, I want to make it to regionals. We have a lot of good freshmen and some juniors coming in who are really helping. We have a

lot of offense.” Even though the players are new, they are meshing well as a team. “We’re definitely working together,” Naomi Cordero said. “We’re connecting.” Crooke agrees. “Our top and midfield are starting to communicate a lot better,” he said. “They’re very coachable girls.

Defense was never something we worried about. It was always getting the ball in the final third and finishing. The way they’re playing off each other, playing the ball to the right space, everyone jiving together this early, if they keep putting in the work, how we’ll look at the end of the season could be very positive.” Mainland, meanwhile, was playing
its first game of the season. The Bucs were 14-4 last year, but they lost several seniors. They were also missing two players who were preparing for the cross country regionals. The Bucs’ leading scorer, forward Lauren Abrahams (25 goals last season), is back, but Servello limited her touches in the game. “We have a strong junior class, but we’re in a rebuild,” said firstyear head coach Mason McKenzie, who was an assistant coach with the Bucs last year. “Our defensive strategies were breaking down a little, but Matanzas has a good team. We play them at home (on Dec. 7), so we’re looking forward to the rematch.” The Bucs’ home opener is Thursday, Nov. 16, against DeLand at 6 p.m. Matanzas plays at county rival Flagler Palm Coast on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. FPC has an 11-game winning streak against Matanzas, with the Pirates scoring just three goals during that span. The Bulldogs defeated Lake Minneola 7-1 in their home opener on Nov. 11 to improve to 2-1.

Michigan legend Michael Talley takes over FPC’s boys basketball program Talley won three high school state championships, played with the Fab Five at Michigan and won three state titles as a coach. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Michael Talley is a legend in Michigan. As a high school basketball player, he led Detroit’s Cooley High to three state championships and was named Michigan’s Mr. Basketball in 1989. He went on to play college basketball at the University of Michigan, his final two seasons with the “Fab Five”. After playing pro ball in Germany, he returned to Michigan where he coached at three high schools and won three state championships. “I came home and committed myself to coaching. You have to give back,” he said. Now he’s the head boys basketball coach at Flagler Palm Coast High
School. “It just kind of worked out the way it was supposed to,” FPC athletic director Scott Drabczyk said. Talley practically knocked on FPC’s front door. Tired of the cold weather in Michigan, he decided to move to Florida and chose Palm Coast. “I just fell in love with the community and also being so close to Flagler Beach,” he said. “We were driving around, and I saw the high school. I said, ‘That’s a nice high school, and it’s only 12 minutes away.’” It was serendipitous that FPC had been looking for a new head coach since the end of April when coach Derrick Williams informed administrators that he was resigning to move back to Alabama. “It was a wonderful thing,” Talley said of the opening. “I pray a lot, and I was really praying for a place that was close to home.” It took a while for Talley to make the move and get cleared by the school district. He arrived about a month after school started, and on Oct. 30, the first day of practice, he
was still learning names. But his players knew who he was, even if they had to look him up. “I don’t really talk about it much,” Talley said. “I had a couple of guys say, ‘You played at Michigan?’ I say, ‘Yeah, I played at Michigan. That was a long time ago. But hey, I’m a pretty good coach. I just want you guys to trust me and trust the process, and we’re going to be OK.’” He doesn’t know how long the process is going to take. The Bulldogs were 7-18 last year. But he proved at Michigan that he can be patient. He averaged 11 points per game as a sophomore. The following year, five highly touted freshmen arrived in Ann Arbor and took over all five starting spots on the team. Talley remained with the program as the Wolverines, led by the Fab Five, advanced to two consecutive national championship games. Winning has always been a part of Talley’s DNA, from Cooley to the University of Michigan to his coaching career. In 1999, his first year on the bench at Pioneer High in Ann Arbor, his JV team went undefeated.

New FPC boys basketball coach Michael Talley
The following year he moved up to varsity as an assistant, and Pioneer won a state title. As a head coach, he led the Academy of Business and Technology in Melvindale, Michigan, to state championships in 2009 and 2010. He turned the program around at Ecorse High School and then returned to Academy of Business and Tech. “Developing kids and developing programs are something that I’ve
been doing for a very long time. And I’m excited to be here at FPC,” he said. Johnny Hampton, who is now with his third head coach as an assistant with the Bulldogs, said FPC is lucky to have Talley leading the program. “As late in the game as we went, we were blessed,” Hampton said. “It was a pretty long process with that vacancy,” said Drabczyk, who was hired as AD in the summer. “But we couldn’t be more happy to have Coach Talley with us. He’s a high level coach. With his playing background and pedigree and his ability to build relationships, it is pretty cool for our kids to be coached by him.” Talley said he likes building programs from the ground up. “Our goal is to win one game at a time; that’s all we can do,” he said. “You don’t want to have any preconceived notions on how many games you’re going to win. You just want to get better. I really enjoy the kids here and the effort they’re giving. They’re extremely smart. I think this is the exact kind of place that I wanted to be.”
Matanzas girls cross country team qualifies for state Seniors Sierra Howard and Nina Rodriguez led the Pirates to fifth place at region; Christian Norfolk qualified individually. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Considering the circumstances, the Matanzas High School girls cross country runners were pleased with their performances at the Region 1-3A championships. The Pirates hosted the regional
Senior Nina Rodriguez was the Pirates’ second finisher with a time of 21:14.3 to finish 24th.
KANE'S LAST MEET Tim Kane will coach his final cross country meet at state this week. The veteran coach said he will lead the track and field program for one final season this spring before stepping down. Katie Hoover, who returned to Matanzas this year as an assistant, will take over the Pirates’ cross country and track program next year. Hoover had been an assistant coach at Matanzas from 2015 to 2017 before moving to Indian Trails Middle School, where she started the cross country and track program. “I’m excited to be taking over the program next year,” she said after the Pirates’ regional meet on Nov. 11. “That’s been my goal since I was here last.”
meet on Saturday, Nov. 11, and finished fifth to qualify for the state championships for the third year in a row. “It was a solid race,” senior Nina Rodriguez said. “We raced well as a team. We’re excited for states.” It rained a couple of hours before the girls race, and the ground was “squishy,” Rodriguez said. Matanzas was also forced to redesign the course because of the school’s expansion project. “It’s kind of sad that their construction is right where our course was supposed to be,” senior Sierra Howard said. Howard was the Pirates’ lone medal winner in the girls race. She placed 14th with her fastest time of the year — 20:20.1. Rodriguez finished 24th in 21:14.3. Freshmen

Sierra Howard crosses the finish line in her fastest time of the season — 20:20.1.
Noemi Malikowski (21:41.1) and Lupita Galeano (21:59.2) were 30th and 37th, respectively. Senior Chloe Irving was half a step behind Galeano in 38th place with a time of 21:59.6. The Pirates’ other runners were sophomore Sara Van Buren (41st, 22:13.8) and junior Maria Phillips (52nd, 22:36.5). Matanzas senior Christian Norfolk qualified individually in the boys race with a personal record 17:06.0.
Norfolk placed 19th for a medal spot. The Class 3A girls race is scheduled to begin at 9:25 a.m. Friday, Nov. 17, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee. The 3A boys race is slated for 10:15 a.m. Tallahassee Leon’s Patrick Koon is expected to win his third-straight state championship. He easily won the regional at Matanzas with a time of 15:24.5. He ran behind Gulf Breeze freshman Andrew Beroset for the first mile and three-quarters before turning on the jets. Beroset placed second in 15:47.0. Matanzas assistant coach Lee Winfree, who rode a golf cart ahead of the runners to keep them on course, said he had to speed up when Koon began taking off. Koon ran the sixth fastest high school 5K in history with a 14:11.92 at the New Balance Indoor Nationals
in March. Lincoln finished second behind Fleming Island in the regional team standings. Ponte Vedra won the girls title with the Sharks’ Lindy White (18:36.2), Daisy Ross (18:40.6) and Hilaree Vega (18:59.7) taking the top three places. The Matanzas girls placed 18th at state last year. Their goal this season has been to finish in the top 10, but coach Tim Kane said they’ll have to hit some PRs to be able to do that. “Right now we’re 13th to 15th,” Kane said. “But we haven’t had a great run all season. Hopefully we’ll have that on Friday morning.” Howard said the team has more depth this year with the addition of Malikowski and Galeano. “Last year our times were a little spread out. This year we’re a pack,” she said.
Flagler Palm Coast High School boys qualify for state cross country championships Braedyn Wormeck moved up FPC’s all-time running list with a time of 15:46.9 to place ninth at the Region 1-4A meet. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Flagler Palm Coast’s boys placed seventh at the Region 1-4A cross country championships, which was good enough to qualify for the state meet. “We kind of made it by the skin of our teeth,” FPC coach David Halliday said. “But we live to fight another day.” The top eight teams and top four individuals who are not on a qualifying team advance from each region to the state championships on Friday, Nov. 17, in Tallahassee. The Bulldogs are in the toughest region in the state and needed personal-record times
by Braedyn Wormeck, Evan Williams and Kamron Davis on Nov. 11 at the New World Sports Complex in Jacksonville to move on. Wormeck placed ninth overall with the sixth-best time in school history at 15:46.9. His time ties Matt Cianciulli on FPC’s all-time list. Cianciulli was a multiple state champ and two-time Flagler-Volusia runner of the year in 1999-2000 who went on to run for Colorado State. “Braedyn certainly moved into some elite company as far as local running is concerned,” Halliday said. Senior Justin Gilliam was FPC’s second finisher in 16:33.1 for 46th place. Williams (16:53.1) was 60th, Davis (17:04.2) was 67th, Hayden Herndon (17:06.4) was 70th and Jack Gilvary (17:23.7) was 80th. “Evan’s big PR probably saved our state bid,” Halliday said of Williams, a senior. Riley Smith (14:57.3) of Gainesville Buchholz edged out Thomas Chitty (14:59.3) of Oviedo Hagerty to win the regional title. Buchholz won both

the boys and girls team titles. The FPC girls finished 10th. Arianna Slaughter paced her teammates with a PR time of 19:21.7 for 23rd place. But the individual qualifiers all finished among the top six, led by Spruce Creek’s Mackenzie (18:28.0) and Arianna Roy (18:31.0), who placed second and third behind region champ Alyson Johnson
(17:54.5) of Creekside. FPC’s Cassidy De Young was 42nd in 20:00.6. Bulldogs teammates Taylor Novak (20:26, 59th) and Madison Lagard (20:51.8, 72nd) ran PR times. Isabella Tarsitan was 83rd at 21:19.2. Two local runners qualified for state at the Region 2-1A championships at Alligator Lake Park in Lake City. Senior Chris Murdock of First
Baptist Christian Academy in Bunnell placed 13th overall with a time of 17:15.0. Junior Matt Gazzoli of Father Lopez was 15th at 17:17.0. At the Region 2-3A championships in Kissimmee, Mainland junior Kiera Williams missed qualifying for state by 9.2 seconds. Williams placed 32nd at 22:40.0.

GAZZOLI 4TH, CARLISI 11TH
A year after winning the Class 2A state golf championship, Matanzas’ Alexandra Gazzoli placed fourth at the 2A state championships with a 1-overpar 143 at the Las Colinas course at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills. Gazzoli was tied for second after the first round with a 1-under 70 and shot 73 on day 2. It was the fourth straight year Gazzoli finished among the top four. She was third as a freshman and second as a sophomore. “She hits the ball so well; her drives were good,” Matanzas girls coach Brandie Alred said, adding that Gazzoli had seven birdie putts that missed by one or two inches. Seabreeze’s Amelia Cobb placed 22nd with a 77-80— 157. Cobb had also finished among the top four her previous two years at state. Flagler Palm Coast senior Carmela Carlisi finished 11th in the Class 3A championship. She was tied for fourth after the first round with an evenpar 71 and shot 78 in the second round for a 149.
Mainland advances; Matanzas’ football season ends Dennis Murray threw three touchdown passes and Mainland High dominated every phase of the game in thrashing Satellite 62-0 in a Region 3-3S football quarterfinal Nov. 10 at Daytona Stadium. It was the first step in the Bucs’ quest to return to the Class 3S state championship. The Bucs lost to Lake Wales 32-30 in last year’s title game. They are three wins away from returning to the final. Mainland (10-1) hosts Rockledge at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17, in a regional semifinal at Daytona Stadium. Rockledge (6-5) defeated Jensen Beach 19-16 in its quarterfinal. The Bucs rebounded from a 33-0 loss to Lake Mary in their regularseason finale. After suffering their first loss, they shut out their opponent for the sixth time this season. Mainland’s defense forced three turnovers that set up touchdowns against Satellite (5-6). Zavier Mincey and David Hall each had interceptions. Ramon McCollough recovered a fumble. Rodney Hill began the scoring barrage with four straight runs ending with a 2-yard touchdown scamper. After the Scorpions missed a field goal, Murray threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Phillip Moore on the first play of the second quarter. The Bucs scored five more touchdowns in the quarter to take a resounding 48-0 halftime lead and force a running clock in the second half. Murray threw 19-yard scoring passes to Marquis McCants and Tyree Weatherspoon. Corey Hill scored on two 1-yard runs. Khamani Robinson and Trell Edwards also ran for touchdowns. PIRATES’ SEASON ENDS

offense moving against a Lincoln defense that gave up more than one touchdown just three times all season. Lincoln (9-2) held Matanzas to 29 yards, including just 7 yards rushing. The Pirates’ defense kept them in the game in the first half as the Trojans headed into halftime with a 21-0 lead. But Lincoln added three more touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game away. Christian Sims and Maliek Denmark each threw two touchdown passes. Jashawn Washington scored three touchdowns, including a
season. He also had a 5-3 record on the mound with a 3.75 earned run average and 55 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched. “He’s a great young man who works super hard,” athletic director Scott Drabczyk said. “I think it was a great choice, a great fit for him. He’ll have the option after a couple years to play at a bigger school.”
51-yard run and a 51-yard reception. Matanzas coach Matt Forrest bid farewell to a senior class that came in with him in 2020 and helped shape the culture of the program. The seniors dominated the stats this year. Next season, the Pirates will have to replace their top three tackle leaders in seniors Cole Hash, Jordan Mills, Zach O’Gwynn and Sho’Marion Gaines. Quarterback Dakwon Evans finished his senior season with over 2,000 total yards. He threw 13 touchdown passes and ran for seven more. Hash rushed for over 400 yards.
Senior receivers Andre Andrews (35-for-493), Daniel DeFalco (18for-341), Mills (23-for-335) and Hash (22-for-243) combined for over 1,400 receiving yards. “When you’re talking about losing that kind of prodcution, it’s definitely going to be hard to (repace). Obviously, we’re proud of this group.” Forrest said. “But if the program is going in the right direction, you rebuild and go forward. “We feel we can continue to be in the playoffs year in and year out with each group raising the bar.”
ARNEAUD NAMED TO ALL-DISTRICT TEAM
BLAIR INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME Former Seabreeze High quarterback Connor Blair has been inducted into the LaGrange College Sports Hall of Fame. Blair, who graduated from LaGrange in 2018, is considered to be one of the most successful quarterbacks in school history, ranking first in the school record books in four categories: passing yards (9,231), completions (775), touchdown passes (80) and total offense (9,346 yards). As a junior, he set 10 singleseason records. As a senior, he was named to the USA South AllConference team. He was also the Panthers’ punter and tied for the longest punt in school history at 64 yards.
