Service agreement with MainStreet OK’d

Last week, at its meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5, the City Commission approved a $70,000 service agreement between the city and Ormond Beach MainStreet, an increase of $5,000 in funding for this fiscal year.

According to a city memo, MainStreet requested the increase due to seeing “pricing increases in a myriad of products and services, including event insurance, entertainment, advertising rates, temporary labor, printing equipment and more.”

The agreement contracts work to MainStreet such as marketing, promotions, the weekly farmer’s market, merchant support and bringing events to the downtown.

City Commissioner Dwight Selby said he believes MainStreet does “a fabulous job.”

“All of the events that they produce for the city really help to make sort of the heart and soul of Ormond Beach, especially in the downtown,” he said. “So I think this is a wonderful investment that we make.”

Shanahan earns near perfect evaluation

for the last 19 years he’s been on the commission, and that Hayes was “filled with honesty and integrity.”

The commissioners discussed the evaluations during their meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 5, and they weren’t shy about singing their praises.

“The quality of the people that work for the city of Ormond Beach ... is exceptional, it’s unbelievable,” City Commissioner Dwight Selby said. “And that doesn’t happen by accident. That happens because of great leadership.”

Shanahan earned an average score of 4.96 out of 5; Hayes earned a score of 4.95 out of 5.

City Commissioner Troy Kent said he had worked alongside Hayes

“You are an example of what every city attorney should be,” Kent said. “You are a professional. You are tough when you need to be. You explain things for the layperson. You protect your commission, but you equally protect your city and the residents.”

Hayes has worked with the city for almost 30 years. Shanahan has been working as Ormond Beach’s city manager since 2009.

Kent said Shanahan is “a tremen dous asset to the city.”

“She is the hardest working man ager I know,” he said. “She truly cares about the city and residents of Ormond Beach.”

Mayor Bill Partington said he often sees Hayes and Shanahan’s cars parked outside their offices at night.

“Joyce, you’re one of the first peo ple here, and you’re the last to leave, and you lead by example,” he said.

“We appreciate that and the city is better for it.”

Shanahan said she’s grateful for the commission’s leadership, as well as the work Hayes does.

“Certainly Mr. Hayes is the best city attorney I’ve ever known,” she said. “He is second to none. He has amazing integrity and intuition about things, and I have worked in other communities where there’s not a good relationship with the city attorney, and that doesn’t make it good for anybody.”

Ormond resident dies in Yonge Street crash

One person is dead after a crash that occurred around 12:54 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, at the intersection of West Granada Boulevard and North Yonge Street.

‘Ormond Beach Shines’

Mayor delivers 2022

of the

Ormond Beach remains “a charming oasis by the sea,” Mayor Bill Partington said at the 2022 State of the City address on Tuesday, Oct. 11.

“We are vibrant and innovative while maintaining that long-time nostalgic charm of small-town life with great amenities,” Partington said to a crowd of about 200 at the Oceanside Country Club. “We are known for being close-knit and car ing and always willing to welcome other voices and opinions to the table. Ormond Beach continues to be the kind of place people feel proud to come home to.”

Themed “Ormond Beach Shines,” the State of the City event was pre sented by both the city and the Ormond Beach Chamber of Com merce. In attendance were elected officials, chamber members, com munity leaders and representatives from local businesses. The may or’s address, as in past years, was accompanied by a video on the city’s accomplishments and highlights for 2022.

Just a week after Hurricane Ian, the mayor highlighted the work done by city staff to return the city to normal operations. He said the storm was a reminder that “any problem feels lighter with the help of your friends and neighbors by your side.”

“We have weathered so many storms together, and after each one, when the sun comes out, we are all stronger for having joined together once again to keep our community going,” Partington said.

PATH TO EMPLOYMENT

In a video address, Partington called Ormond Beach “the sparkling city by the sea,” and the crown jewel of Volusia County. He spoke about the bright future ahead, thanks to com munity partnerships, job creation and economic development efforts such as the business expansions within the city’s Airport Business Park, which houses 48 businesses

AWARD RECIPIENTS

Every year, the recipients for the Mayor’s Award for Civic Engagement are recognized during the State of the City address.

This year’s awards went to:

„ Florida Rep. Tom Leek, for his help in securing state fund ing for city projects

„ Rick and Dee Boehm, for their dedication to city recre ation efforts and the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League, respectively

„ Lucy Jackman and the Friends of the Performing Arts Center, for spearheading the renovation project of the PAC

„ The Garden Club of the Halifax Country, for its work and partnership for Vadner Park

„ Patrick Sullivan and Kirt Roberts, for their role as res tauranteurs in helping revitalize the downtown

that employ over 1,000 people.

The city’s unemployment rate fell to 2.6% as of July 2022, down from 3.3% in January, though it had been at 2% in April. In July 2021, the city’s unemployment rate was at 5%, down from a high of 15% in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than 710 jobs were added to the local economy since January.

“This economic indicator dem onstrates that this year was a time to shine, as many companies continued their success, and the path to gainful employment in our city was strong,” Partington said.

Additionally, the city issued 131 business licenses in 2022, through the month of July.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Some projects in Ormond Beach’s future include the I-95 and U.S. 1 interchange project, for which the Florida Department of Transporta tion is conducting a planning, design and engineering study. The inter change was constructed in the early 1960s and no longer meets current standards.

“The need for this is evident based on the increased transporta tion demand of the interchange and the positive economic development growth we are seeing along this cor ridor,” City Commissioner Rob Lit tleton said in the video address.

The city is also continuing to pur sue projects to reduce the discharge of treated effluent into the Halifax River.

Ormond Beach recently received $2 million from the state for two water quality projects: a septic to-sewer conversion for Magnolia Drive, Oak Drive and Bonita Avenue; and an ultraviolet disinfection con version system for its water reclama tion facility.

“Our continued dedication to improving water quality for our residents and visitors is crucial to Ormond Beach’s future,” City Com

missioner Dwight Selby said in the video address. “The city is always seeking ways to maintain our envi ronmental stewardship and keep our waterways clean for future genera tions.”

SENSE OF PLACE

City Commissioner Troy Kent said the city has made strategic invest ments in its community centers and parks.

As examples, he cited the con struction of the new gymnasium at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center and the city’s partnership with the Garden Club of the Halifax Country for the creation of the allnative Vadner Park as examples.

“Our community offers a little bit of something for everyone,” he said. “Whether you’re interested in the arts or looking to spend a little time growing a seedling, Ormond Beach continues to be the perfect place to plant your roots.”

City Commissioner Susan Persis said that the renaissance of the city’s historic district continues with new events and the addition of restau rants and shops, as well as the reno vation and expansion of the Ormond Memorial Art Museum.

“More and more, the downtown is becoming the place to entertain and be entertained,” she said.

POSITIVE FORECAST

Partington said this year’s address was bittersweet for him and Persis, as three of their fellow commission ers will no longer sit on the dais with them after the general election in November. Selby decided not to run for reelection, and Kent and Littleton both opted to run for County Coun cil District 4, with Kent heading to a runoff election on Nov. 8 against

“I’m honored to have served beside you and wish you all the very best of luck in your future endeavors, know ing that Ormond Beach is a better place because you served here,” Par tington said.

Partington presented the commis sioners — Selby, Littleton and Kent — with keys to the city at the lun cheon event.

“I am so honored to be mayor of this great city,” he said. “Ormond Beach is passionate, it’s strong, and in 2022, it shines.”

Storm damage: Ian’s impact on an already flood-prone Shockney Drive

As Ian moved through Florida, Tomoka Estates residents on Shockney Drive watched the water rise in their homes.

Tomoka Estates resident Marcia Marion made the decision to stay in her house at Shockney Drive during Hurricane Ian.

“They were terrified for me,” said Marion about her family.

Marion’s house sits in between the Tomoka River and a canal that runs into Tomoka Estates. Residents use it to dock their boats and access the river for fishing and other recre ational activities. The day the hur ricane hit, the bodies of water had merged.

“This whole area smelled like gas,” said Justin Washington, Marion’s son-in-law. “There was so much gas floating in the water, it was crazy.”

As the storm made its way toward the east coast of Florida, the water began to enter Marion’s home. She and her dogs stayed on her bed where the water level was lower than the rest of the house. Even though her power stayed on, she lost cable and; therefore, her telephone service.

“That was the worst part,” she said. “Not being able to talk to any body. My poor daughter.”

Washington drove from Jack sonville, where he lives, to help his mother-in-law. The water was so deep, they used kayaks to get her belongings to the car. Marion con tinues to maintain a positive outlook about the whole ordeal.

“These are things that you have no control over,” she said. “Why would I get upset? I didn’t cause this.”

Kevin Gray, the deputy Public Works director for the city of Ormond Beach, lives a few houses away from Marion. He is also part of the city’s emergency management team, so it was necessary for him to evacuate to work on Wednesday prior to the

storm hitting the area. He went back to help his his wife evacuate early Thursday, Sept. 29, and missed the storm’s escalation that afternoon in Tomoka Estates.

“The pool and the dock were all under water,” he said. “You could not see them. My boat was in the back yard and now that the water receded, it’s stuck on the seawall.”

Gray returned Saturday, Oct. 1 to water that was too high to drive through with his pickup truck. He and his neighbors used kayaks to grab anything that was salvageable. Most of them had a 2-3 feet high water line inside their homes.

“I’m cleaning up,” he said. “I have a remediation company coming in to help me out but the beds and every thing are a total loss.”

Gray waits on his home and flood ing insurance companies. He was told his home insurance company would be surveying the damage next month, and his flood insurance com pany, next week.

“We pay for all the insurance then we have to wait forever for them to get here,” he said.

Anita Adams lives in one of the first houses on Shockney Drive. It is a two-story building overlooking the Tomoka River Basin. She and her husband decided it would be easier to ride the storm out upstairs since he is wheelchair-bound. As the storm hit, they watched as the river covered the islands, their boat dock, yard and finally entered their garage.

“I consider ourselves very, very lucky to have just this happen,” she said. “When you see how everybody else is suffering in Fort Myers, it’s so sad to see how people lost every thing. My heart goes out to them.”

Tomoka Estates was mostly marshland that was filled in for construction in the 1960s, said Ben Bartlett, Volusia County pub lic works director.

It’s an extremely low-lying area that is subject to sunny day flooding during a high tide event, though that mainly impacts the road, he explained. Several hous es at the end of Shockney Drive have been raised through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant program as a result of past flooding issues.

Ian pushed one of the high est tides inland ever seen in that area, and the rain event — parts of the county like New Smyrna Beach saw 21 inches of rain in a 24 hours period — compounded the problem.

“This amount of rain coupled with the high tides caused by the storm was just like the worst case scenario for something liike this, and Tomoka Estates and Shock ney Drive is one of many places that experienced similar type flooding,” Bartlett said.

The county does have storm water inlets and pipes with check valves that are meant to prevent water from the Tomoka River coming onto the road, but high tides often mean the water is un

able to flow as it should, causing road flooding.

Through the county’s resiliency planning, they have identified stormwater systems and areas that are subject to impacts from sea level rise, and the county is working to apply for grants for this purpose, Bartlett said. Shockney Drive has been identi fied as one of those areas, and the county is looking at projects to mitigate the effects of seal level rise.

In the meantime, homeowners have the options to either rebuild or retreat, Bartlett said. Choosing to rebuild could mean having their homes elevated through FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant program.

“That’s not an ideal situation down there just because it’s so low,” Bartlett said. “Back in the ‘60s, you didn’t have the rules that we have today as far as building your home above the floodplain elevation, building your home above the road, those kinds of things. And so, unfortunately, a lot of those homes see damage in situations like this because those rules didn’t exist when they were constructed.”

AN EXTREMELY LOW-LYING AREA

Ormond Beach City Commission praises staff for work during Hurricane Ian

ees did the right thing and took care of citizens.

He suggested the city take its Employee Appreciation Day “up a notch” to reward employees for how well they handled the storm.

HOW DID ORMOND BEACH FARE?

The city experienced a high of 16.59 inches of rain and wind gusts of 66 miles per hour during Ian, according to a National Weather Service sum mary of rainfall and peak wind gusts across central Florida.

sible.

Having an engineer examine all of the seawalls would be an expensive ordeal, Shanahan said, and the city would be using tax dollars to benefit private properties. But, he added, the city could send all of the condo associations a notice suggesting they perform an inspection.

RECENT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS HELPED

During the 2009 storm event, 176 homes flooded in Ormond Beach. Thirteen years later, about 20 homes took in water during Hurricane Ian.

“As horrible as that is, I was still encouraged to see such an incredible improvement, because that’s what we were working towards,” Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington said during the City Commission meet ing on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

City staff gave the commission a post-hurricane update at the meet ing, and commissioners praised city employees for their work dur ing the storm. Though the damage assessment countywide is over $157 million, the city of Ormond Beach sustained minimal damage in com parison to cities like New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange and Daytona Beach.

“We were blessed,” City Manager Joyce Shanahan said. “We did have a bad storm here, but it could have been much worse.”

Shanahan said she was proud of the city’s employees and has received many compliments via email from residents whom they helped. And some city employees — at least a dozen or more — lost homes as a result of the storm. One employee’s home took on 6-and-a-half feet of water, but he still showed up for work, she said.

“It’s times like hurricanes when you really understand how well your city works,” Shanahan said.

City Commissioner Rob Littleton said the actions of the city’s employ ees over the last week due to the storm have been “outstanding.”

There were too many instances to name, he said, in which city employ

“It’s important to point out that

this storm was not a hurricane when it got to us,” Partington said. “It may have been barely a tropical storm. It could have been considered a depression based on these numbers as far as the wind goes. But yet, just the path of it, the sheer size and the slow duration of it — you look at the impact that it had statewide, and on our city — it just goes to show you that every storm event is different.”

A total of 55 roads flooded in the city, though waters didn’t rise high enough to enter most homes. The city calculated that 10.3 miles of city streets experienced some flooding. There were 29 reported water breaks throughout the city during and after the storm, and the city issued two boil water notices. The water treatment plant sustained about $120,000 in damage, and the its wastewater plant about $100,000, but the damage was not to equipment that would render the plants nonoperational, said Pub lic Works Director Shawn Finley.

Debris collection by the city’s contractor, Crowder Gulf, began on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

Seawalls throughout the county have been a matter of concern since the storm, and city staff will have the seawall at Andy Romano Beach front Park inspected. Ian removed the stairs between the park and the beach, along with a ramp and some shade structures.

Beachfront structures, including condos, in Daytona Beach Shores were left with significant structural damage after Ian, and Ormond Beach City Commissioner Dwight Selby asked what the city’s responsibility might be about those. He mentioned the collapse of the Surfside condos, and said that he would like the city to be as helpful and proactive as pos

Ormond Beach city staff is docu menting the damage and flooding that the city sustained during Ian, Partington said.

He added that he’s hopeful that the federal government will recon sider its withdrawal of a city grant proposal for a drainage project on Fleming Avenue.

Partington said he believed that if that project had been completed before Ian, there would have been less flooding on that street because the city would have been able to pump the floodwater directly into the Halifax River.

“I think it would have taken some of the stress off the Tomoka River and the Tomoka River Basin and that northern section of the Halifax River,” he said.

Ormond Beach City Commissioner Troy Kent applauded the current and prior City Commissions’ decisions to pursue “non-flashy projects” to improve the city’s infrastructure.

“Tens of millions of dollars on things like stormwater,” he said.

He mentioned the federal funding the commission had acquired several years ago to interconnect the Cen tral Park lakes, an area that flooded significantly during the 2009 storm event.

That projects funded with that money allowed the city to pump the lakes down in preparation for Ian.

“That’s good planning, that’s good preparation, and it’s smart govern ment,” Kent said. “And I’m proud to be part of a team that has worked on this infrastructure, on non-flashy things but extremely important infrastructure projects, to keep you, pun intended, above water.”

SEPT. 22 AN EMPTY VESSEL MAKES

THE MOST NOISE

10 p.m. — Rosewood Street and Walnut Avenue, Bunnell Noise complaint. A Palm Coast man called in a noise complaint, requesting that an officer bring a certified decibel reader.

The responding officer did, but, to the resident’s frustra tion, found the noise level to be within the allowed range.

The resident said he “was unhappy with [the] response to his call for service” and that every deputy should have a certified decibel meter, ac cording to the incident report.

The resident said he would be calling the commander during business hours.

SEPT. 28

SHOTS FIRED

5 p.m. — 1100 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach Weapons complaint. A wit ness called police after he saw someone in a vehicle shoot five to six rounds from a passenger side window.

The witness saw a red Ca dillac leaving the parking lot of a shopping center, with the barrel of a handgun protrud ing from the passenger win dow, angled slightly upwards, according to an incident report. The passenger fired the rounds and the vehicle turned north onto Clyde Mor ris Boulevard.

Police found a 9 millimeter Luger shell casing at the park ing lot exit. Officers received

a lead regarding the vehicle’s owner, but were unable to make contact.

SEPT. 30 ONE MAN’S TRASH?

2 p.m. — 100 block of Wash ington Street, Ormond Beach Loitering or prowling. Police responded to a call about a man who tried to steal a bicycle from a local home, and later dropped it in a yard after being confronted by a homeowner.

The man, wearing a camou flage jacket, fled eastbound and was followed by one of the witnesses as she spoke to dispatch on the phone.

Police spotted the 37-yearold Ormond man running east on Grove Street and eventu ally found him crouched by a bush on someone’s property.

Police officers noted in their report that law enforcement officers were walking around and making radio transmis sions, “which would lead any reasonable person to believe that a law enforcement officer was present” as the man remained in hiding.

The man was secured in handcuffs, and was identi fied by one of the witnesses.

“Please don’t press charges on me,” the man said to po lice, according to the report.

When asked why he had tried to steal the bike, the man said it had been in the trash, and he’d thought he could take it.

He said he’d dropped the bike and concealed himself from police because he was scared of the female witness who’d followed him.

The bike’s owner chose not to press charges.

OCT. 6 COVERT CULVERT

2:18 p.m. — 60 block Boulder Rock Drive, Palm Coast Larceny. A 24-foot-long, 17-inch-wide driveway culvert was stolen out of a construc tion site on Thursday, Oct. 6.

The culvert was valued at

$689.90.

The reporting person told a responding officer that the theft had actually happened sometime between Oct. 3 and Oct. 4.

When asked why the theft wasn’t reported sooner, the reporting person said that their construction crews were busy cleaning up over 100 construction sites in Palm Coast after Hurricane Ian and did not feel that the crime “warranted it at the time,” ac cording to the incident report.

IMMEDIATE EVICTION

6:15 p.m. — 600 block of North Nova Road, Ormond Beach Burglary. An Ormond Beach resident called police after he discovered a man living inside the resident’s boat.

The resident told police that he had been on his way home from work when he noticed clothing hanging from his old boat outside his fam ily’s warehouse.

He stopped to see what was going on, and found the man sleeping inside.

Police made contact with the 35-year-old Ormond Beach man who’d taken up residence on the boat. He said he had been staying on the boat since the previous day, and hadn’t seen any “no trespassing signs” around, ac cording to his arrest report.

There was, indeed, such a sign on the south side of the building.

The man said he had en tered through the north side.

Police noted that the boat cover had beeen vandalized, as was the microwave inside the sleeping area. The man said he didn’t do it.

City staff address Woodlands concerns

After Hurricane Ian flooded Woodland-area streets, resi dents voiced concerns about how the city handles storm water in the neighborhood.

The Woodlands butts up against the Graham Swamp trailhead area, which takes stormwater runoff from the canals west of Interstate 95.

During heavy rain, the water eventually overflows and backs up into roads and yards.

Donald Schrager, Palm Coast’s deputy director of stormwater, said runoff is high because of the way the city was designed: Water from the west side of I-95 pours into canals and ditches, which eventually lead into Graham Swamp and then into the Intracoastal Waterway.

But these canals and ditch es, Schrager said, are not designed to handle 500-year rain events like Hurricane Ian.

“It’s like the bucket exam ple,” he said. “If you pour all the water into a sink slowly, it will drain fine. But if you pour it all at once, it doesn’t.”

Ralph and Ivette Esposito, who live in the 40 block of Black Alder Drive, had stand ing water in the road and in their back yard for days after the storm. Ralph Esposito said that when he came home after evacuating, the whole street was covered in water.

Ivette Esposito said there was more water in the neigh borhood from Ian than there had been from Hurricane Irma, in 2017.

“We were very lucky it

spread instead of going up,”

Ivette Esposito said on Oct. 1.

Shraeger said that before Ian arrived in Palm Coast, the city had drained the canals in anticipation of the downpour, emptying as much water as possible into the Intracoastal.

Another Woodlands resi dent, Alejandro Figueroa Morales, was driving down Old Kings Road during the storm to check on his parents when he passed over a culvert with water seemingly rush ing from I-95 into Graham Swamp.

He recorded a short clip of the rushing water and shared the video on a private Wood lands community Facebook page.

His fellow Woodlands resi dents were concerned that the clip showed water draining from I-95 directly into their backyards.

But Schrager said that wasn’t the case.

The water, he said, came from the L-4 canal pipes just

south of the P Section on the west side of I-4.

The pipes — which are being expanded — were over whelmed by the amount of water.

Schrager said the water overflowed from the L-4 canals into undeveloped land between Old Kings Road and I-95, which then drained into the culvert and Graham Swamp.

When asked why the L-4 pipes and culverts with simi lar issues, like those at Colbert Lane and Blare Drive, had not been fixed sooner after Hur ricane Irma, Schrager said that the upgrades are a slow process when every project is important.

In the meantime, he said, he’s just glad the water did not get into people’s houses.

“We learn from every rain event,” Schrager said. “Just because a system works now doesn’t mean we can’t make it better.”

Two caught stealing cooking oil

Deputies caught two men stealing more than 7,000 pounds of used cooking oil — valued at almost $5,000 — from a local restaurant in the early morning hours of Thurs day, Oct. 6.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy Kyle Gaddie was on patrol at around 3 a.m. when he saw 48-year-old St. Johns County resident Rui Gen Lin and 41-year-old Gainesville resident Rong Chen pump ing used cooking oil out of a vat behind Woody’s Bar-BQue off of State Road 100 and Interstate 95 just after 3 a.m.

The men, wearing head lamps, were pumping the oil into large drums in a white box truck, according to an arrest affidavit. The box truck had one 1,000-gallon drum filled to just under max capac ity, and two completely filled 250-gallon drums, according to the affidavit.

Lin owns a company in Jacksonville known as L&L Recycling, LLC, which buys used oil and recycles it, according to a FCSO press release. But Lin and Chen had not been hired by Woody’s to take the oil, according to the press release.

“They own a company that buys and recycles old cooking oil but, in this case, they tried to increase their profits by stealing the oil,” Sheriff Rick Staly said, according to the news release.. “Used cooking oil is often recycled to make diesel fuel and used in other products.”

Theft of cooking oil, Staly said, is on the rise across the country because the price of oil is rising.

VCS teams up with Sheriff’s Office for school safety specialist position

This will replace the director of security and safety position previously held by Michelle Newman, who resigned last month.

The Volusia County School Board unanimously approved an interlocal agreement on Tuesday, Oct. 11, between the district and the Volusia Sher iff’s Office for the position of a school safety specialist, who would also be an employee of the sheriff.

This will replace the direc tor of security and safety position previously held by Michelle Newman, who resigned last month. The agreement allows VSO to have command oversight and man agement of school safety and security, while providing the school district access to the sheriff’s resources, according to the School Board agenda item. The district also stated this would streamline com munications with VSO and other local law enforcement agencies.

The position will have a sal ary of $90,000. The sheriff will also assign a lieutenant to assist the new director.

School Board Chair Ruben Colon thanked Chitwood and his team for their efforts in drafting the agreement.

“What came before us today is the result of hard work, of understanding the differenc es between the work that we do and the work that you do,” Colon said. “And seeing this come into fruition is actually something I’ve actually want ed to see for a while because I wanted to see us get out of the law enforcement business and stick to the education busi ness, and allow folks who are in the law enforcement busi ness to be a part of the law enforcement business.”

He said that it might have sounded like he was speak ing in a circle, but due to state

IN NEIGHBORING FLAGLER COUNTY...

The Flagler County School Board is consid ering adding guardians to its schools, an inita tive proposed to begin in August 2023, should the board decide to partici pate in the Coach Aaron Feis Guardian Program.

The board was presented with three op tions during a Sept. 20 workshop — training and arming existing district employees who volun teer for the program; hire new employees to be guardians; or con tracting a vendor to provide guardians.

Volusia County Schools first implement ed its guardian program in 2018.

mandates requiring more collaboration between the district, municipalities and law enforcement agencies, the school district started to notice that they “weren’t speaking the same language” as the other bodies.

Volusia Sheriff Chitwood said that the district would be following Seminole County’s model with this interlocal agreement, with some dif ferences, such as the guard ian program, which will con tinue to operate as it has been in Volusia County Schools. Chitwood added that having a VSO captain embedded in the superintendent’s cabinet will help bring resources faster.

Not everyone is cut out to be a school resource officer or a school guardian, Chitwood said.

“We fully understand that this position is the same exact way,” he said.

Per the agreement, the new safety and security direc tor will be responsible for identifying long-range secu rity needs; maintaining and amending an emergency pre

paredness plan; developing and overseeing the imple mentation of emergency preparedness training and emergency education aware ness materials for use within schools; and collaborating all communications between the sheriff’s office command dur ing any critical school-related incident, to name a few.

The board agreed that, once hired, the new director would start as soon as possible.

Regarding taxes

Dear Editor:

Why do certain candidates in the city of Ormond Beach continue to say that taxes are increasing each year? Have they looked at their own annual property tax bills? Compar ing the Ormond Beach general fund category for 2019 when we moved into the Ormond Beach home that we live in today, our tax is less today than it was in 2019. In fact, for 2022, the total millage for Ormond Beach is 4.03 compared to Orange City’s, at 7.79 mills.

To top that off, Ormond Beach also has the lowest average monthly water bill, at $84.84, compared to Daytona Beach, at $122.84. And as far as our county General Fund tax amount in 2022, it is also less now than it was in 2019. If these candi dates can’t read their own tax bill, how can we feel confident in the votes that they might cast in the future that will affect all of our tax bills? I personally applaud the cur rent elected officials in the city and in the county for holding the line on taxes, and I strongly encourage voters to study the facts, and not believe the political rhetoric that certain candidates are spreading.

Time to reconsider our wetland regulations

Dear Editor:

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian and all the flooding it brought, I think it’s apparent our city needs to reexamine its development policies.

Back in 2009, the city lowered its wetland rules. Perhaps that wasn’t a good idea. I’m thinking reinstate ment to the pre-2009 standards would be the right thing to do.

In addition, the city has yet to release its Stormwater Master Plan. In the meantime, there is new development being considered, including Tattersall at Tymber Creek and Airport Road, which includes wetlands.

Last November’s Northeaster resulted in flooding over Airport Road right in front of the proposed Tattersall site and after Hurricane Ian, the Tattersall property was flooded and covered in standing water.

The first reading by the City Commission for Tattersall is on Oct. 18, a meeting in which we’ll be hearing testimony from the devel oper’s hand-picked engineer. The City Commission seems to be zeal ous in their desire to over-develop Ormond Beach and to do so without a Stormwater Master Plan MINDY MCLARNAN Ormond Beach

10YEARS AGO THIS WEEK

Prescription pain killer abuse on the rise

According to the Ormond Beach Observer edition from 10 years ago this week ...

� Prescription pain killer abuse was on the rise in the Volusia-Flagler area, and about 50-60% of people at the Vince Carter Sanctuary, an adult drug treatment center, had

abused painkillers. The CDC re ported at the time that prescription painkiller sales had risen 300% since 1999, and emergency room visits for painkiller overdoses had almost doubled.

� The Bruce Rossmeyer Ride for Children, a motorcycle ride to raise money for charities serving chil dren, drew about 800 riders, pas sengers and volunteers and raised $300,000.

A reply to Bill Partington

Dear Editor:

I noticed that Bill Partington did not refute one factual claim made by Lori Bennett. His assertion that her comments represented “every derogatory thought” avoids the reality that Ms. Bennett offered verifiable facts for the most part, and only included her views about Partington’s “disconnect” from Ormond Beach citizens and Rob Bridger. In my view, Partington ignored the legitimate, verifi able facts and attempted to deflect attention away from his shortcom ings by claiming the sun shines and life is good.

I do not deny that the sun shines and that much about Ormond Beach is good. I do deny that Bill Partington adequately represents the vast majority of Ormond Beach citizens. Supporting the “moneyed elite” and developers does not even come close to representing aver age citizens. Perhaps if candidates restricted themselves to verifiable reality and seriously reduced mis information and “red meat” bird whistles, citizens could make more informed decisions.

An American adventure: 50 half marathons in 50 states

Emma Craik has just one state left: Maine.

Emma Craik’s plan to run a half mar athon in each of the 50 states did not have a glorious beginning.

Her first race in South Carolina in 2012 was a near-disaster. She ran with an injured leg and wound up tearing a hamstring and injuring discs in her back. She finished the 13.1 miles walking and jogging.

“I told her not do it,” said her friend and fellow physical therapist Hella Reintjes — who, along with Craik, laughs about it now.

That ill-fated start shelved Craik’s pursuit for four years. The Ormond Beach resident returned to her quest in 2016. Six years later, she has run in 49 states, bringing along friends and filling up her travelogue with every sight she could fit in along the way.

She was supposed to run her final half marathon in Maine on Oct. 1.

But like her first race, and most of the others in between, there’s a story. This one involved Hurricane Ian. Craik, and the entourage accom panying her for the occasion, never made it to Orlando International Airport for their Sept. 29 flight. The airport was closed anyway.

Instead, she worked at the hos pital, and a tree hit her house. But damage was minimal. Maine will have to be rescheduled. Her 10-year adventure has never gone smoothly, anyway. But she seems to have loved every minute of it.

A DREAM DELAYED

Craik, 48, immigrated to the United States from Scotland in 1996. Her goal was to see the entire country, but life happened. She traveled for work but didn’t have time to sight see, and then she had children.

While watching her two daughters play soccer, a thought occurred to her. Rather than simply supporting her kids, she wanted to be an active role model.

“I wanted to do something my

kids were going to be proud of,” she said. “And they are. Every time I’ve thought about stopping, they’re like, ‘No, you can’t stop. This is brilliant. You gotta keep going.’”

Her daughters, now 22 and 20, built her a wall hanger to hold her medals. Painted across the frame is the phrase, “‘I just felt like running’ — Forrest Gump.”

Craik has always lived an active lifestyle. She played field hockey and rugby in Scotland. She plays tennis, and she’s run several 5Ks (3.1 miles). She wanted her next exploit to be more ambitious than a series of 5K races, so she decided to run half mar athons. Now she jokingly says that she should have looked into the 5Ks.

Her daughters, Kira and Eryn, joined her in Hawaii four or five years ago to run with her. They’ll never do it again, she joked.

“My older daughter was fine. My younger daughter, Eryn, complained the whole way. She’s not a runner,

but she did actually finish first in her age group. And she was very happy at the end,” Craik said.

Hawaii was one of the states that surprised Craik.

“I never thought I would like Hawaii, because I live in Florida, and you’ve got the beach right here. But it is entirely different, having the mountains and the rock crawls,” she said. “At the end, they had this little church and a guy was playing Elvis tunes on his ukulele from Blue Hawaii. It was just magical.”

CLIMBING, FLYING AND RUNNING

Craik is not a fast runner, she says. Her best time of 1 hour, 59 minutes, was in her second race in Tennessee — four years after the South Carolina race.

The number of trips she makes a year varies. Some years, when her daughters were younger, she traveled to just five states. Soccer matches, homecoming and proms took prior

ity. Last year, with both kids in col lege, she ran 10 half marathons.

Sometimes she groups them. She ran West Virginia, Virginia and Ohio in the space of a week, with active excursions in between.

“I climbed the Via Ferrata in West Virginia (at NROCKS in Circleville). That was five and a half hours of climbing with metal rungs. I had no idea. I thought it was going to be one of those kiddie things where you just go over the top,” she said. “I ran one half marathon on the Friday, climed the Via Ferrata on Saturday, ran another half marathon on Sunday, and then a week later, I ran another half marathon in another state. And I was dead. I was covered in bruises everywhere from the rock.”

Her friends say they never know what to expect when they accom pany her. Craik told Reintjes that temperatures in Colorado would be in the 40s and 50s.

“We get there, and it’s a blizzard,”

Reintjes said. “We drive up a moun tain, past car crashes, and we did our hiking. Everybody’s in snowshoes. And we’re climbing and climbing. Emma says, ‘You’ve got to see this lake.’ When we finally got there, it was frozen, white. I couldn’t feel my toes. But that’s OK, we had fun.”

In Idaho, it was pouring when Craik and her friend Anna Van Herck walked to a hot spring.

“The water was raging on the river right next to it. It was just amazing,” Van Herck said.

“If you had gone over into the river, you’d be gone,” Craik said, laughing at the memory.

In Alaska, Craik and her friends took a flightseeing tour over Denali. Craik always runs a tight schedule. But one of her friends broke an arm on the second-to-last day, so they had to make a “quick stop” at the hospital. During the race, Craig saw moose.

“They’re like 14 feet tall, and you’re not supposed to run from a moose,” she said. “So you’re think ing, ‘Do I keep on running or do I stop running, because the moose has seen me now?’”

The best food on her journeys? The lobster rolls and bisque at a little res taurant in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

The friendliest people were in Andalusia, Alabama. “I had a lovely time there,” she said.

Her most difficult half marathon? Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she suffered from altitude sickness.

Craik has learned how diverse her adopted country is, both geographi cally and demographically.

“In Oregon, we went to the state fair, and people were walking around with just body paint on,” she said. “In Louisiana and the southern states, they are much more reserved, but everyone I’ve encountered has been really friendly, and the runners that I’ve met are amazing.”

After Maine, she said, she plans to chronicle her adventures and make trips back to Scotland to visit her parents. She said she’ll continue to run 5Ks. But no more half marathons.

Think PINK

WORONOFF

For the first time in three years, the Pink on Parade 5K was live on the campus of Adven tHealth Palm Coast.

The 5K had been a virtual event for the previous two years. AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation Director

John Subers estimated that 1,000 participants and spec tators arrived the morning of Sunday, Oct. 9 for the 5K, the 1-Mile Pet Friendly Fun Walk and related festivities.

Three hundred ninety one runners and walkers complet ed the 5K distance (3.1 miles).

The event, organized by the city of Palm Coast and Adven tHealth, celebrates breast cancer survivors and raises money for cancer screen ings, education, materials and diagnostic testing. All of the money stays in Flagler County.

Before the start of the 5K, the Ladies of Flagler County — the largest team in the 5K race, with 65 par ticipants — presented the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation with a giant check for $1,670-plus. The plus represented the fact that the

group’s fundraising efforts were not finished.

Sisters Ana Reyes-Ouzts and Alina Perry-Smith began the networking group twoand-a-half years ago. The fundraiser was important to Perry-Smith, who was diag nosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 2013.

“I had chemotherapy, radiation, a double mastec tomy — the works,” she said. A teacher at the time, PerrySmith had always wanted to learn photography, so she decided to take some pho tography classes. Now, she’s a professional photographer.

Paul Shuler, Seabreeze High School’s wrestling and bowling coach, won the 5K race with a time of 19 minutes, nine seconds. He said it was his first 5K victory, and his first race since recently turning 57.

Paige Brammer, 15, of Palm Coast, won the female division and finished third overall, with a time of 20:31. Brammer, a high school soph omore, is a cross country run ner at St. Joseph Academy in St. Augustine.

Family Life Center hosts event for domestic violence awareness

The second annual Rise Up conference with the Flagler Domestic Violence Task Force will be held Friday, Oct. 14, at the DSC campus in Palm Coast.

The Family Life Center and the Fla gler County Domestic Violence Task Force are presenting their second annual Rise Up Against Domestic Violence conference.

The conference will take place at 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 14, at Palm Coast’s Daytona State College Cam pus. The conference will break down into two sessions with a total of eight discussion topics, each led by a member of Flagler County’s Domes tic Violence Task Force.

The half-day conference will include discussions on what the Bible has to say about domestic violence, how domestic violence impacts chil dren, the signs of domestic violence and more. The task force members leading the discussions are from all walks of life — a chaplain, sev eral Flagler County Public Schools employees, Flagler County Sher iff Office detectives — all coming together, educating people on and bringing awareness to domestic vio lence.

“The idea is to promote education about domestic violence,” said Trish Giaccone, chief executive officer of the Family Life Center. “It really is a community effort.”

Giaccone said a lot of victims may not even know the extent of resources available to them in Flagler County.

The Family Life Center connects vic tims and survivors to the help they need, through outreach services.

The Family Life Center’s in-house services include a 24-hour emer gency shelter, with clothing and food provided. Its reduced COVID capac ity is 12, Giaccone said, but those who need shelter can stay for eight to 12 weeks, depending on their situ ation. These services are available to all in need regardless of gender, ori entation or age.

“When we say domestic violence crosses all boundaries, we mean domestic violence crosses all bound aries,” Giaccone said.

The shelter can connect survivors to a lawyer or Department of Child Services liaisons as needed. It also has advocates available 24 hours a day helping current victims. Survi vors rebuilding their lives find and take their next steps there.

The center even, Giaccone said, has a youth advocate for kids, help ing them process what’s going on.

Palm Coast City Councilman John Fanelli works with the task force through his work with Flagler Coun ty Public Schools.

During the conference, Fanelli will co-lead a discussion session called “ACE’s and Handle with Care.” ACE’s, Fanelli said, stands for ‘adverse children’s experiences’ and focuses on how research shows cer tain childhood experiences can lead to specific issues later in a child’s life.

His presentation partner, Taurean Wilson, a mental health counselor, will lead that part of the discussion while Fanelli will discuss the pro gram FCPS has in place to mitigate these experiences — Handle with Care.

The program partners schools with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of

Juvenile Justice to reduce a student’s stress if they are acting out because of a traumatic situation. The FCSO and FDJJ send basic information to the schools, Fanelli said — nothing detailed, to protect confidentiality, usually just a name and birthdate — and lets the school know the child is going through a traumatic event.

It could be anything: a home domestic violence situation, the death of a family member, a car acci dent.

Knowing that there is something going on prevents the student from being punished if they aren’t follow ing the rules, Fanelli said.

Normally, a student might be written up if they are acting out, out of dress code, tardy, or even crying or sleeping in class.

“But if it’s related to trauma, the last thing we need to do is add to that [stress],” Fanelli said. “Basical ly, what we’re doing is handling the student with care — exactly what the title [of the program] is.”

Educating and aiding children dealing with domestic violence cas es is just one side of the puzzle. It is equally important to educate peo ple about what domestic violence entails.

That includes teaching people about the cross-section between intimate partners and sexual abuse, something FCSO Detective Jordan St. John will undertake toward the end of the conference.

St. John spent five years as a road patrol officer, she said, and another year on major cases like sex crimes.\

She said she’d volunteered to join the task force six months ago to be a voice for the voiceless.

A big part of that, she said, is informing people about their options — including the fact that they don’t necessarily have to make a report to the police, she said.

“That’s the beauty of the task force,” St. John said. “It puts all [the options] together in a room.”

Events like Rise Up are critical to opening up that dialogue and get ting people the best help they can, she said.

“I’m one part of a big puzzle,” she said, “and it’s about getting people to their best quality of life.”

Anyone who wants to attend the Rise Up Against Domestic Violence conference can sign up at Eventbrite.

The conference is free.

Anyone needing help can call the Family Life Center hotline at 386437-3505.

NASCAR DRIVER HONORED BY HALIFAX HUMANE SOCIETY

The Halifax Humane Society will honor its Humanitarian of the Year, NASCAR driver Alex Bowman, at the Ocean Center on Dec. 7 during the society’s 11th-annual FurBall Gala.

“Alex’s unwavering commitment to animal welfare has captured the hearts of millions while saving mil lions of animals’ lives,” said Dawn Duncan, Director of Development for Halifax Humane Society. “His use of the national stage to promote happy and healthy pets makes him a stellar example to all.”

Bowman, 29, joined Hendrick Motorsports full-time in

Camaro for 10 races during the 2016 Cup Series season. The Tucson, Arizona, native took over the No. 48 Chevy in the 2021 season after Jim mie Johnson retired at the end of the 2020 season. Since then, Bow man has tallied five wins — includ ing primary sponsor Ally’s first Cup Series win at Richmond Raceway in April 2021.

“I am honored to be named the 2022 Halifax Humane Society Humanitarian of the Year,” Bowman said in a press release. “Helping homeless animals is an important part of my life, and being able to have Ally support me and my pas sion means a lot to me. The fact that we get to help animals across the country is special and I hope to continue to work with Ally and Best Friends Animal Society for many more seasons.”

When Bowman joined the Ally Racing team in 2021, he and his new primary sponsor worked to make an impact in race markets across the country, with the help of Best Friends Animal Society, according to the press release. In their first year together, Bow man and Ally each donated $1,000 to a Best Friends network partner, increas ing the donation total to $10,000 for every win.

The duo donated a total of $130,000 at the end of the 2021 season. This

year, Bowman and Ally have donated a combined $4,800 each week, again increasing the total to $10,000 for every win.

“We are excited to partner with Alex to raise the awareness of ani mal welfare in our community,” said Nancy Lohman, FurBall committee chairperson and Halifax Humane Society Board member. “He under stands the role pets play in our lives and the part they play within human ity as an anchor of love and compan ionship. We are grateful that our two outstanding organizations are mov ing our mission forward together.”

This year’s FurBall Gala will be the first held in person since the begin ning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The theme is “Believe.”

It has been a difficult year for investors seeking reliable income streams. Banks are paying less than 2%. Corporate bonds are typically yielding under 4%. And the stock market is...well, let’s just say the stock market has been unpredictable for most of 2022. Phoenix Capital Group, a leader in mineral rights acquisition, aims to reintroduce predictability through our suite of high interest rate private bond offerings. We are currently offering investors the opportunity to invest in 8%, 9%, or 11% bonds through our Regulation A+ and recently available Regulation D Offerings. To date, thousands of investors across the United States have invested in Phoenix Capital Group to grow their personal wealth while we grow our business.

Our business is “mineral rights acquisition.” This is a unique type of energy investment that has historically been reserved for large institutions. Phoenix Capital Group acquires the rights to accretive mineral assets, such as oil and natural gas, that provide near-term revenues to our business when leased to operators. A typical asset purchased by Phoenix Capital Group starts producing an ROI in just months, allowing our team to continually invest revenues in growth. With our corporate offerings, both accredited and non-accredited U.S. investors can access high-value, reliable energy investments.

“We are currently offering investors the opportunity to invest in 8-11% bonds through our Regulation A+ and Regulation D offerings.”

We have learned that building wealth for investors, just like building a scalable business, does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Some investors seek shortterm gains in anticipation of an important life moment, like building a new home or taking a dream vacation. Other investors work to generate income to enjoy their retirement with friends and family for years to come. We have designed our investment products to meet this need for diversity.

Through our offerings, investors are able to invest in bonds bearing interest annually and paid monthly. It’s our job to blend investment needs with our growth strategy and deliver products that make the most sense for your current life situation. Please contact Matt Willer directly at mwiller@phxcapitalgroup. com for further information.

We invite you to reach out directly to learn more about how we may enhance your overall portfolio. You can watch one of our webinars to learn more about the business and our suite of investment products that can offer stability in today’s tumultuous landscape.

FINE ARTS

DR.E

Art can be fun, and An nabella Kaney-Olivari’s ceramic and mixed media sculpture, titled “Dr.E,” is certainly that.

Her piece will be on display at the fourthannual Volusia County Schools’ student juried show at Gallery500 through Oct. 21. It was awarded “Best of Show” during the open ing reception. KaneyOlivari, a Seabreeze senior, won a $500 scholarship, plus $500 for her school’s art pro gram, according to a blog post by the gallery.

Gallery500 director Amber O’Neal said that one can’t help but smile at the sculpture.

“Art is meant to be enjoyed, whether it is deeply thought-pro voking and makes a statement or it is fun and quirky,” she said.

O’Neal added that she’s always astound ed by the creativity of the students’ work.

“They don’t have the ‘art knowledge’ or ex perience of a tenured artist, but they are true artists in that they have a drive for the arts and the creativity to push the boundaries and present new ideas to the viewer,” she said.

The students’ work will also be on display during the One Day tona Art Festival Oct. 22-23.

Mainland denies University end zone access in 37-0 win

The Mainland Buccaneers wore their homecom ing game faces as they played against the Uni versity Titans on Friday, Oct. 7, delivering a 37-0 shutout to their fans.

The Bucs extended their winning streak to three games. They will play Deltona on Friday, Oct. 14 in their first district game.

“Great homecoming event,” head coach Travis Roland said. “We’re trying to restore the tradition of our fans being here all the time. Last year, we didn’t play like Mainland. Our Mainland fans have a very high standard of what they want to see so we are just thankful we can come out here and give them a good product. We knew what we were going to be capable of this year.”

The Bucs won the toss and chose to receive. On the first play, wide receiver Ajai Har rell grabbed a pass from quar terback Demarcus Creecy and ran for an 80-yard touch down. Harrell also scored the fourth touchdown of the game in the second quarter which brought the score to 30-0 before halftime.

The team co-captain attri butes practicing hard, watch ing film, focusing and mental preparation for the Bucs’ wins this season.

“I try to lead by example,” Harrell said. “I try to make sure everybody’s doing their part. If everybody’s doing their part, we are going to

UP NEXT Mainland at Deltona, Friday, Oct. 14, 7 p.m.

Seabreeze records first win of the season, 28-21 over Satellite

Denali Campbell scored three first-half touchdowns for the Sandcrabs.

After starting the season with a bru tal schedule against four schools in the largest suburban classification, Seabreeze finally played a school its own size on Oct. 7. The Sandcrabs held on to defeat Satellite 28-21 on the road for their first win of the season.

Homecoming: Pine Ridge (06) at Seabreeze (1-4), Friday, Oct. 14, 7 p.m.

Deltona (5-1) at Seabreeze, Monday, Oct. 17, 6 p.m.

The Sandcrabs host winless Pine

Ridge for homecoming on Friday, Oct. 14 and then return to Daytona Stadium on Monday, Oct. 17 for a game against 5-1 Deltona.

“Obviously, football is meant to be played once a week,” Seabreeze coach Pat Brown said. “We’ll take preventative measures to take care of our bodies. We’re making sure they hydrate from now all the way on.” Brown said it helps that they have a coach in Josh Roberts, who was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Stetson and understands the science of recovery.

The Sandcrabs jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead against the Scor

Crawford Olsen collected two Sat ellite turnovers, recovering a fumble and intercepting a pass.

Gonzalez started at quarterback for Seabreeze and passed for 83 yards while adding 63 yards rushing. The senior began the year as a receiver, a position he will likely play in col lege, but he gives the offense stability when he’s under center, Brown said.

“He’s played quarterback his whole life,” said Brown. “He’s got that experience and leadership and

ability to keep everybody calm.”

After Satellite pulled within a touchdown with three scores in the second half, Seabreeze got the ball back with 1:20 left and ran out the clock.

“We stopped ourselves a lot with penalties and dropped passes. It just wasn’t a clean second half,” Brown said. “But we did enough to hold on. It’s been a long time coming for the group. They see what it means to play a tough schedule early on. We have some first-time varsity players, and we’re seeing their confidence grow each week.”

Harrell was shocked when he heard his name announced as Mainland’s homecom ing king during halftime. Longtime friend and cheer leader Cassidy Campbell was announced as homecoming queen.

“I’m just going to keep being a good example—show ing what our school is,” he said. “Mainland is Mainland. That’s it. We’re the standard. The rest of the season, just lookout. We are trying to go undefeated for the rest of the season. No more losses.”

The combined strength of the offense’s speed and the defense’s ability to shut down plays prohibited their oppo nents from reaching the end zone. Period.

“The kids have worked hard,” Roland said. “They stay the course and show their resilience. Teenagers

and babies are the most resil ient people around. Give them positive influences and posi tive words and they respond.”

Creecy continued to be the master of screen passes and quarterback keepers through out the game. He threw a 51-yard touchdown pass to James Randle in the first quar ter, a quick toss to Clarence McCloud for a 4-yard touch down and a screen pass to L.J. McCray, who ran for a 26-yard touchdown.

In the final quarter, Roland used Mainland’s score advan tage to give a few younger players some reps with the varsity team. Six-foot-3, 220-pound freshman Freddie Wilson was all smiles on the field as he brought down a few offensive linemen.

“These guys are smiling and having fun at their homecom ing,” Roland said. “We are just glad to be here.”

Local to be inducted into Brown’s Hall of Fame

Thirty-one years ago, Trishna Patel left her family in Mumbai, India, at the age of 13 to play tennis in the United States.

She had been accepted to Nick Bollettieri’s prestigious IMG Tennis Academy in Bradenton. She went on to play tennis and major in econom ics at Brown University and was the Ivy League’s Player of the Year in 1997 when she led the Bears to the Ivy League title and a trip the NCAA championships.

On Oct. 29, the Ormond Beach resident will be inducted into the Brown University Athletics Hall of Fame.

Pirates second at Volusia-Flagler golf tournament

Matanzas finished second behind Spruce Creek at the Volusia-Flagler golf tournament on Oct. 10 at Crane Lakes in Port Orange.

Senior Ashtin Arlaud led the Pirates with a 72, followed by Alek Libby with a 75, Jacob Roster with an 80 and London Parker with an 89.

Pirates sweep Bulldogs

The Matanzas volleyball team improved to 12-6 with a 3-0 victory against Flagler Palm Coast on Oct. 6. The Pirates won 25-16, 25-12 and 25-21.

Hanna Schagen led Matanzas with 10 kills, while Rylan Miller had 18 digs, and Sydney Moses had 32 assists.

The Pirates will host Tocoi Creek at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13.

“I found out about it this sum mer,” she said. “A few of my team mates from the ’97 team live in the New York and New England area, and they’re going to come down. And we got in touch with our coach, Norma Taylor, and she’s going to come.”

Patel worked in finance for many years in New York City. In 2015, she moved to Ormond Beach and became the head pro at the Trails Racquet Club where she handles all the adult programming. Three and a half year ago, she also started a junior program at the club — the Trailblazers.

“It’s a great group of kids and their families,” she said. “We started with seven or eight kids. Now we have close to our goal of 50. We have kids playing on all levels. It’s not elite, it’s more recreational, introducing people to tennis.”

Last year, Patel also became the head coach of Seabreeze High School’s tennis team, taking over for longtime coach Bob Holtgrewe, who retired.

“Bob has been an invaluable source of information,” said Patel,

“(The Traiblazers are) a great group of kids and their families. We started with seven or eight kids. Now we have close to ... 50. We have kids playing on all levels. It’s not elite, it’s more recreational, introducing people to tennis.”

who already had been some of the Sandcrabs’ players on an individual basis.

Patel said when she was still living in India she was having good results playing international tournaments in the 12 and 14 age groups when Bollettieri’s academy offered her a scholarship. At the time, tennis stars Andre Agassi, Jimmy Arias, Monica Seles, David Wheaton, Mary Joe Fer nandez and Mary Pierce were at the peak of their careers and training at the academy.

“I was homesick initially,” she said. “But I was fairly focused, and I knew I wanted this. It was a very controlled setting, a very unique high school experience during that time.”

At Brown, Patel set school records in 1997 for single-season combined wins (61) and singles wins (36), while ranking second in school history in single-season doubles wins. Playing No. 1 singles and doubles, she led the Bears to a 19-3 record, 7-0 in the Ivy League that year.

She was named first-team All-Ivy

League in singles in 1997, first team in doubles in 1995 and 1997 and second team in singles in 1995 and doubles in 1996.

Three of Patel’s former team mates plan to attend her Hall of Fame induction: Michelle Keys, the cap tain of the 1997 team; Elisa Banner, Patel’s doubles partner; and Leela Raju, the No. 4 singles player and No. 2 doubles player on the ‘97 team.

“Leela had an awesome winning percentage. She almost never lost,” Patel said.

In New York, Patel had a success ful career in investment banking and risk management working for Salo mon Brothers, and Citigroup when the companies merged. Now she is back in tennis, devoting her time to coaching others.

“This opportunity to have a sec ond career almost came at a really wonderful time,” said Patel, who is the mother of two young boys. “I’m going to see where it takes me, and where I can take it.”
