In search of reclaimed water storage Could the city have its own reclaimed water reservoir field in the near future?

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The city of Ormond Beach wants more reclaimed water storage.

At a City Commission workshop held on Tuesday, Nov. 16, officials instructed city staff to seek out land options for the construction of a reclaimed water reservoir field similar to that of the city of Port Orange,

with the hopes that a project like this will help them reduce the amount of surface water discharge into local waterways.

“I really want us as an elected body to look at a large tract of land and make some strategic moves rather expeditiously and get a plan in place so that we don’t run out and we quit dumping our reuse into the waterways here,” City Commissioner Troy Kent said.

At the workshop, Public Works Director Shawn Finley walked the SEE WATER PAGE 4

Sidewalk project to be bid out The City Commission voted 3-2 to go out for bid for the $2.28 million Granada Boulevard Streetscape Sidewalk Banding Repair project. Commissioners Susan Persis and Rob Littleton voted against, as going out for bid will delay the project’s timeline.

The project will be funded using Community Redevelopment Agency dollars, which can only be spent within the CRA district.

The commission also opted to go for the “Etruscan Tile” banding option favored

by Ormond MainStreet rather than “Mesa Beige,” per their vote on Oct. 5.

Art in public spaces: City approves new program Ormond Beach’s downtown district could get a lot more colorful in the near future.

At its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 16, the City Commission approved the creation of a public art program in the downtown overlay district in a 4-1 vote.

The program’s creation was born out of the city’s 2019 downtown master plan, in which enhancing the district’s environment was a top priority. Murals have already been allowed to pop up in businesses, like the one at Ormond Garage at 28 W. Granada Blvd., but the approved ordinance would allow murals in public spaces. It also creates a new advisory board: the Ormond Arts District Board.

This ordinance is a long time coming, said City Commissioner Dwight Selby.

“I’m excited about getting this going,” Selby said. “Getting our signal boxes decorated and all the other possible public art projects that will come in the near future.”

City Commissioner Rob Littleton cast the lone vote against the ordinance to create the program. He

would have been in favor of it a couple of years ago, he said, but now, he feared the art program would create problems for the city down the road.

“Just last year, there was a whole year of people protesting over public art,” Littleton said. “That was mostly over statues, but it is public art, and I really think we’re opening up a can of worms here.”

Per the ordinance, “public art

must be solicited or commissioned by, or gifted or donated to, the city.”

The city will also paid for it, unless it was donated. It also retains control over the authority to accept, reject, modify, repair, relocate or remove the art.

If not donated, city staff indicated in a memo that the art could be funded through tax increment financing funds.

“To me, this is the cultural center of the city, and it needs to be even a bigger cultural center.”

Employees ask for higher wages Ormond Beach resident and city employee Ed Wilson, who spoke before the commission on behalf of Public Works employees, shed light on an ongoing problem within the division: Low wages resulting in a shortage of workers.

“The city of Ormond Beach has become a training ground for surrounding cities,” Wilson said.

A maintenance worker II position pays $11.97 an hour, while the city of Daytona Beach is offering $15 an hour for the same position; the city of Palm Coast offers $15.46.

One department in Public Works has gone through 20 employees in the last two years, Wilson added. Another has switched to 12 hour shifts because of a lack of employees.

Mayor Bill Partington said the city would likely discuss these issues in the shade meeting in January.

School Board sets new meeting time Starting in 2022, the Volusia County School Board will meet at 4:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, with public input beginning at 6 p.m.

The board also elected Ruben Colon as its new chair in a 4-1 vote; Jamie Haynes was re-elected as vice chair.

A promise to remember OMAM Veterans Day Tribute guest speakers highlight meaning of sacrifice JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Wynn Hamilton, of Ormond Beach, remembers her brother, a fallen Air Force soldier.

Everett and Evan Sargent

Retired U.S. Navy Capt. William Toti made a promise to make sure the sacrifices of a crew of Navy soldiers during World War II were never forgotten. It’s a promise he’s been trying to uphold for the last two decades.

As the final commanding officer of the USS Indianapolis submarine, Toti shared the story of the 316 surviving crewmen of the cruiser by the same name. The crewmen had recently completed a mission to deliver parts of the atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima, and on July 30, were attacked by a Japanese submarine. The USS Indianapolis sunk, and those who survived the initial incident spent the next five days trying to survive while stranded in the ocean.

Toti, of Ormond Beach, met many of the survivors later in his military career, and when he recalls their sacrifice — along with all the other veterans who have had to endure many trials for their country, he said nothing he personally experienced in his 26 years of active duty can compare.

And yet, Toti himself is a survivor, having lived through the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon.

“Many of my friends died that day, but for some reason I did not,” he said. “When something like that happens to you, you can’t help but wonder why you were spared when so many others weren’t. It took years for me to make peace with how this played out, but I eventually did.”

Toti was one of the featured speakers during the Ormond Memorial Art Museum’s Veterans Day Tribute on Thursday, Nov. 11. Held at the museum garden’s parking lot under a white tent, over 150 citizens, veterans and community leaders attended the annual event, which returned to an in-person format this year.

DECADES OF STORIES

A 9/11 survivor, U.S. Navy Capt. William Toti said it took him years to make peace with the day’s events.

OMAM’s history with veterans dates back to its creation. In 1946, it was built as a tribute to veterans of World War s I and II, and several of them participated in its construction. The museum, which is currently undergoing a $3.5 million renovation, has four veteran memorials, and when the new building opens in 2022, the original one will be displayed prominently in the reception area, said Lisa Perry, president of the museum’s board of directors.

“Your service and sacrifice have kept our country safe and free, and we are eternally grateful for your service,” Perry said.

The theme of remembering the sacrifices made by veterans continued in Cathy Heighter’s speech. An American Gold Star Mother, Heighter is the co-founder of Remembering Vets, a local nonprofit that supports

Volusia County School Board Member Carl Persis and his wife, City Commissioner Susan Persis, with their grandson Doyle and local philanthropist Nancy Lohman.

local veterans and first responders.

She also made a promise to remember.

Her youngest son died in Iraq in 2003, and she found herself in a club she said she never wanted to be a part of: Mothers who have lost children while they were in the service of the U.S. Armed Forces. The first time she went to an American Gold Star Mothers meeting, she watched as mothers told the stories of their fallen sons and daughters, some who had perished decades before.

Heighter said she chuckled to herself. That would never be her, she thought.

“Here I am today,” she said. “It’s almost 20 years later, and I’m still telling that story, just as I saw all those other, beautiful, American Gold Star Mothers devoted to their loved ones, telling their stories, remembering them. Honoring them, and I tell you today — not a day goes by that I don’t think of my dearly beloved son and all of those service members, men and women, who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation.”

‘EARN THIS’

All members of the U.S. Armed Forces know there may come a time when they’re asked to make “the ultimate sacrifice,” said Toti. But none ever think that sacrifice may come outside of the front lines.

“But that’s the world we live in today,” Toti said. “It’s not a world with defined front lines. It’s a world where the front line tomorrow could be in your backyard.”

The idea of sacrifice is something the veterans who served after 9/11 share with the veterans of wars past, he continued. Thousands of civilians died that day, and thousands of soldiers died after that.

“And yet, the concept of sacrifice has become alien to most Americans,” Toti said. “It seems to be limited to a very small percentage of our population, mostly veterans. But it wasn’t always that way.”

During World War II, Americans

Civil Air Patrol Cadet Capt. Evan Jameson during the presentation of colors

participated in scrap metal and rubber drives to help the war effort.

They planted Victory Gardens and endured harsh rationing. They bought war bonds.

Things changed in the generations that followed, Toti said, and despite the nation coming together on Sept.

12, 2001, the unity and notion of universal sacrifice didn’t last. Instead, he said only those who served post 9/11 endured those sacrifices. And most recently, when asked to wear a mask to stop the spread of COVID-19, many pushed back.

“If wearing a mask is too much sacrifice in modern times, what does that say about the more substantial sacrifices that prior generations had to make, or future generations might have to make?” Toti said.

He closed out his speech by referencing the 1998 film, “Saving Private Ryan,” in which the dying character of Capt. John Miller tells Private Ryan to “Earn this,” highlighting the sacrifice he made in the line of duty.

“Have we earned this?” Toti asked. “I worry that we haven’t, and knowing this, I worry for future generations, because if history teaches us anything, it teaches us that we struggle to learn any lessons from history. Let us earn this, starting today, and let this Veterans Day be a reminder that we need to earn this each and every day going forward.”

$35 fine for RVs blocking access to beach JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Buses, recreational vehicles and tractor-trailers that are obstructing vehicle access — such as those parking in multiple spaces — to Volusia County beaches will face a $35 fine, per a new ordinance passed by the Volusia County Council on Tuesday, Nov. 16.

The ordinance is meant to address what county staff states is a common complaint by residents. It also clarifies that parking is prohibited on the beaches or approaches between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., unless otherwise stated in a

commission through the three-tier plan submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection to comply with Senate Bill 64, which was signed by the governor this summer. The new law requires utility providers, like the city of Ormond Beach, to have a plan to eliminate all surface water discharges by Jan. 1, 2032.

In 2020, the city pumped 536 million gallons of reclaimed water into the river; It is permitted to pump 2.19 billion a year. According the Nov. 12 city staff report, the city averaged a daily surface water discharge flow of 1.31 million gallons a day from Nov. 1, 2020, to Oct. 31, 2021.

There are 4,000 customers receiving reclaimed water in the city — made possible by the wastewater coming from the city’s 23,000 utility customers — and Finley said that after customers experienced reclaimed water shortages in 2019, their first order of

Volusia County Beach Safety Director Andrew Ethridge assured that Beach Patrol does currently monitor for existing parking and traffic violations, especially overnight.

“Typically, if it’s causing an issue, we will have the owner rectify the problem immediately,” Ethridge said. “If they’re not on site, we can tow the vehicle if it is causing an issue.”

Additionally, the County Council approved an ordinance that allows e-bikes, electric scooters and other electric motorized devices on most areas of the beach —

the only exceptions are areas that are designated as a natural beach management area or a conservation zone by the Volusia County Habitat Conservation Plan. One such area begins 200 feet north of Granada Boulevard beach approach and runs north until the southern boundary of the North Peninsula State Park recreation area in Ormondby-the-Sea. As with the ordinance regarding traffic violations for buses, RVs and tractor trailers, the council voted to revisit the e-bike ordinance in the future.

business was making sure the city’s system was reliable.

“If you turn your tap on in your kitchen, you expect water to come out,” Finley said. “The same thing should be expected for people with their sprinklers.”

The city, which in 2020 agreed to receive Holly Hill’s surplus reclaimed water, tends to discharge more reclaimed water during the rainy seasons due to a lack of storage. City Commissioner Dwight Selby has been advocating for more storage in the last couple of years. He said the first tier in the city’s three-tier plan would expand the city’s distribution system to Ormond Crossings, homes in the south area of the beachside and Tattersall (if Tattersall is approved).

“Should we even be talking about that now until we have more storage?” Selby said.

Brad Blais, vice president of Mead & Hunt, a Port Orange-based engineering consulting firm, said Senate Bill 64 requires surface water discharge to be reduced to less than 10% of the total effluent flow by 2032. The city cur-

rently discharges about 23% of total effluent flow, and Blais said the goal is for the city to increase reclaimed water utilization by about 1.5 million gallons per day over the next decade.

“It’s certainly achievable,” Blais said.

The first tier of projects in the plan submitted to the state also includes a reclaimed water main extension for Airport Road. A 60-acre reservoir recharge basin is also proposed in the second tier of projects.

The commission was not in favor of increasing reclaimed water storage by way of the traditional tanks. A field like Port Orange is the way to go, said Mayor Bill Partington.

“Storage tanks strike me as expensive, clunky, dangerous to maintain,” he said. “They’re ugly, I mean when you drive down Orchard [Street] and you see those tanks, they just look horrible. Luckily, there’s trees covering most of them and keeping them fairly well out of sight.”

The commission directed staff to return with options for a reservoir by mid-May 2022.

Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center to apply for ECHO grant for renovation

ASSOCIATE EDITOR

For the last few years, the Friends of the Performing Arts Center have been hard at work trying to make a vision come to life: One where the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center becomes one of the draws for visitors and residents in the city.

A renovation project has been in the works since 2019 when the City Commission approved plans to update the lobby and main hallway of the 1982 building located at 399 N. U.S. 1. A former church, evidence of its original use are still visible today as church pews remain in the lobby to offer seating. The city purchased the building in 1988, and opened it as the

The Friends of the PAC are working to make a renovation of the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center a reality.

The Friends of the PAC are accepting donations to help the project.

Performing Arts Center in 1991. It has not been majorly updated since.

But the Friends of the PAC are hoping that changes very soon.

Lucy Jackman, chair of the nonprofit, said the improvements planned for the building are going to be “huge.”

“To me, this is the cultural center of the city, and it needs to be even a bigger cultural center,” Jackman said.

The project is estimated to cost $1 million, and the Friends of the PAC are working to raise as much toward the cost as possible.

The group has obtained two grants to date from the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District — a $20,000 grant and a $165,000 grant — and they are hoping to apply for an ECHO grant in the next county cycle. It’s an effort that is supported by the City Commission, who in Oct. 5, unanimously directed staff to help Jackman in the process, and expressed being in favor of amending the budget if necessary to help.

Other improvements com-

ing to the PAC come by way of concessions, as the city has put out a bid for a third-party to take over. This would facilitate the sale of beer and wine at the building, which the PAC has never sold. Jackman said one of the most common pieces of feedback from patrons is their wish to purchase beer and wine before a show.

In addition, the PAC has partnered with the Ormond Memorial Art Museum to host exhibits, and the PAC is currently hosting its third pop-up show, “A Gallery of Gratitude,” to be on display through Dec. 13.

When the Friends of the PAC started talking about the renovations, they were originally focused only on the inside.

“But, as the discussion went on with our board, we said, ‘You know, people aren’t going to see anything until they come inside. They’ve got to be aware that we’re outside,’” Jackman said. “That’s when we went and said we’re going to extend the project to the outside.”

The Friends of the PAC are hoping the building is repainted, new lighting is installed, and that the existing stone features are removed for a more modern look.

Another of the group’s goals is to start helping to bring in entertainment to the building.

Future fundraisers are now in discussion.

“This needs to be a priority at all times, and it hasn’t been,” Jackman said. “It seems to be now it is, we’re hoping, and when it’s done, people in this city are going to be amazed. They really are.”

MY VIEW

Vaccines save lives, but the government should not mandate them In general, I do not support medical mandates because I do not think they are very effective and do not achieve what they desire.

FRANK FARMER GUEST WRITER

Recently, Dr. Joseph Lapado, the designated surgeon general of Florida, went to the office of Sen. Tina Polsky in preparation for his confirmation by the Senate. At the meeting, Sen. Polsky requested that he wear a mask as she had a compromised immune condition. Later, she revealed that this was due to a newly diagnosed breast malignancy. Dr. Lapado declined to do so, and the meeting imploded. The incident has resulted in much pub-

licity and accusations by both pro mask and anti mask factions.

As a former surgeon general of Florida, I have been asked about my views on the matter.

Before I was a physician, I was a historian in a university setting and wrote my Ph.D. dissertation on the attempts to eradicate a specific disease in the South in the early 20th century. As I researched that topic, I became very familiar with the history of vaccines and continued that interest throughout my medical education and career. As a historian and physician, I believe that with all the great medical innovations over the last 300 years such as blood typing, transfusions, MRIs, CT scans, new surgical techniques, antibiotics and others, none have saved more lives and helped benefit society more than vaccines.

Because of vaccines, we no longer have the great scourges of smallpox, polio, yellow fever, influenza, and other diseases that have claimed millions of lives over the centuries. I encourage all eligible individuals to get the COVID vaccine with the advice of their physician.

In general, I do not support

LETTERS Why push for expansion?

DEVERA ROACH Ormond Beach

Avalon Park mistakes Dear Editor: Mayor Partington and Commissioner Selby continue to blame “poor decisions” by “past commissions” for the Avalon Park megadevelopment on the city’s western doorstep.

Facts: The Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. leveraged one city against the other in 2003, and Daytona Beach broke a long agreement with Ormond Beach in annexing 3,000 acres west of our city. Consolidated-Tomoka demanded we weaken our wetland rules to bring them in.

Facts: “Past commissions” were elected by constituents who wanted to keep our wetland rules and who knew growth does not pay for itself.

Bill Partington was part of the 2009 commission that abolished our wetland rules.

Mayor Partington says “past commissions” failed to “negotiate and reach a reasonable deal.”

Facts: Consolidated-Tomoka turned down a good faith offer to amend our density rules, allowing the same number of units condensed on higher ground while preserving low-ground wetlands, shortening the city’s lines of infrastructure. Three members of the 2002 City Commission appeared at a Daytona Beach commission meeting to ask them to honor the existing annexation agreements between our two cities.

Lapado’s views on mask wearing.

The surgeon general is the embodiment of all the physicians in Florida. When he entered that senator’s office, with her name on the door, he was essentially entering her home. If he declined to wear a mask, he could have congenially exited and offered to have a zoom or telephone conference.

Dr. Lapado has the right to wear or not wear a mask anywhere in any public area of the Capitol, but surely we can accept that an announced immuno-compromised sitting state senator, in her office, can be afforded a little leeway in regard to her request. Courtesy, compassion and empathy should reside in all of us.

With all the above being said, Dr. Lapado is a very well qualified medical doctor. He deserves a bit of patience as he adjusts to his new role as the surgeon general. Let us give the grace to Dr. Lapado that we should give to all human beings. He will either embrace this role or he will not.

Frank Farmer, of Ormond Beach, was Florida’s surgeon general from 2011 to 2012.

Questions: Why has the Ormond Beach commission agreed to provide water and sewer services to Avalon Park in Daytona Beach?

Why did we annex Plantation Oaks, roughly 1,500 manufactured homes that will receive our water, sewer, police, and fire services with no city control over the development and little revenue in return? Lastly, given the commission’s track record, it is doubtful they would’ve held the developer to a higher standard.

Instead of finger-pointing at past commission decisions, the current City Commission should re-examine its own decisions.

son, Illinois. After several minutes, Mnyofu criticized some school officials by name. At that point, the president of the board of education ordered that Mnyofu’s microphone be silenced and that a security guard stop Mnyofu from speaking.

Mnyofu sued the board of education and its president in federal court, alleging they violated his First Amendment free-speech rights by prohibiting him from criticizing school officials. He contended that the board unconstitutionally restricted speech based on content.

“The right to criticize public officials is clearly established,” he wrote in Mnyofu v. Board of Education of Rich Township High School District 227. “Additionally, the right to speak at public forums or designated public forums free of content-based restrictions is also clearly established.”

I would suggest before the School Board goes down this road, they understand the Constitution of the United States.

STACY DAY Ormond Beach

First Amendment first Dear Editor: In the Nov. 11 article titled “School Board considers changes to public participation,” School Board attorney and School Board Chair Linda Cuthbert are quoted as saying there is an increase in public challenges pertaining to the public’s civility and decorum when speaking before the board within the last several months. Apparently, this is uncomfortable to them. They should look at our Constitution of the United States and the protection it provides to its citizens when addressing public officials.

The First Amendment protects the right to criticize public officials. In 1931, Justice Hugo Black expressed it eloquently in Bridges v.

California, when he wrote, “It is a prized American privilege to speak one’s mind, though not always with perfect good taste, on all public institutions.”

These were training flights, the same planes over and over. They begin 7:30 a.m. to 8 a.m. most mornings, and are most active in the morning and evening, when most folks are home. The flight pattern is 360 degrees around the

airport. It negatively affects the quality of life for all of the surrounding communities.

What kind of guidelines control the number of training flights per hour? What kind of guidelines control the height aircraft fly over homes? Tomoka Oaks and The Trails regularly have helicopters and planes flying ridiculously low over the neighborhood. Does the city support having a jet flight school at the airport? Jets already regularly use the airport, some with barely a sound, others scream out at maximum throttle. Are there any noise restrictions on takeoff? Who enforces that?

Why is the airport allowed to create an unlimited nuisance to the surrounding community, and why is the city seeking a massive expansion of that nuisance?

It’s hard to understand where our community is headed. We spend millions to decorate sidewalks, instead of buying a 150-acre park or beachside parking for all citizens.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are paid to consultants to tell the city what to do. We elect folks to make those decisions, not pay someone else. There is a continuous commercial assault on our parks at Granada Bridge that benefit a few businessmen. Parking and traffic needs are ignored at the expense of us all. So we watch the shredding of the fabric that made this a desirable place to live.

Dear Editor: Why is the city pushing extended runways and a busier airport when it continues to approve and encourage new residential development on the airport’s doorstep? New homes, townhouses and apartments are slated for construction within the 5-mile county airport overlay district, including the latest proposal, Tattersall at Tymber Creek, a mile from the airport. (Are prospective buyers being told this expansion will accommodate jets and larger aircraft?)

Residents knew they were locating near an airport when they purchased their home, but did they have any way of knowing a smalltown recreation and flight training airport was slated for conversion to an executive airport by a master plan approved without a public mandate?

The City Commission airport policy is a contradiction, approving new residential development while at the same time creating a noisier, busier airport that will negatively impact the quality of life of that development, as well as three dozen existing subdivisions, three elementary schools and a middle school.

Meanwhile, the city permanently closed River Bend Golf Course to accommodate airport expansion, forfeiting a tangible community asset that paid about $100,000 annual rent to an airport awash in red ink. What additional damage will a larger airport do to the smalltown character of Ormond Beach?

Why must citizens continue subsidizing an airport that produces little economic return from the few who use it? Why do our elected

officials continue to tout vague economic benefits when years of actual numbers of dollars contradict such claims?

medical mandates because I do not think they are very effective and do not achieve what they desire. A mandate is exactly what is says — an order to do something. This is a rigid doctrine and, in my opinion, does not consider all the variables that should go into every medical decision. In the case of COVID-19, some of those variables include the general health of the individual, the age group of the patient, previous infection with COVID-19, immune status of the person, religious beliefs, psychological condition and mental health, to name a few.

The American people are an intelligent group and very independent, with a strong sense of their ability to make their own decisions about their health. They respond much better to explanations and reasoning than to mandates.

Dr. Lapado is an intelligent person, with a degree from Harvard and hundreds of published scientific papers. I am sure that he can make persuasive arguments on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19, but the incident in Sen. Polsky’s office is more than Dr.

COPS BRIEFS PETS TO CORNER Dog recovered by ADOPT SUSPECT ON A DIET 7:14 p.m. — 200 block of East Granada Boulevard Larceny. An unknown suspect stole almost $200 worth of diet pills from a local pharmacy retail store, A store employee called police after the man walked out of the store with his pockets bulging with the pill bottles.

The man had spent a long time in the diet and nutrition aisle and later approached the register with a juice, telling him that he had to go to his truck to get his wallet. The man’s pockets were full, but the employee couldn’t tell what he had concealed.

The employee went to the nutrition and diet aisle, and discovered three empty boxes of weight loss pills on the shelf. The store wished to pursue charges.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT 8:40 p.m. — 1600 block of North U.S. 1 Possession of methamphetamine. Police arrested a 36-year-old transient woman who was waving a BB gun around at a local gas station.

According to her arrest report, the woman told police that some people had started yelling at her after she asked them for a lighter. This scared her, so she pulled out her BB gun and “held it at her side to protect herself.” She said that from where she is from, this type of behavior was normal, adding that she never pointed the gun at anyone — she was only going to “pistol whip” the guy who was yelling at her if she needed to.

Police arrested the woman for disorderly conduct, and after searching her personal items, found over a gram of methamphetamine in her wallet. She was taken to jail.

deputies after she was stabbed by suicidal man A dog whose human stabbed her in the side before leaving her at home in DeLand and threatening suicide in Ormond Beach on Thursday, Nov. 11, was recovered by Volusia Sheriff’s deputies and Volusia County Animal Services officers, who took her in for treatment and put her on the road to recovery.

Animal cruelty charges are pending against the 36-yearold suspect who stabbed the black Labrador mix, named Midnight. The suspect was taken into protective custody by the Ormond Beach Police Department under Florida’s Baker Act after a brief standoff in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn at 155 Interchange Blvd.

OBPD had responded to the Hampton Inn around 3:20 p.m. after a crisis intervention hotline alerted them to text messages from a suicidal subject. Police successfully negotiated with the subject, who was in a vehicle holding a kitchen knife, and took him into custody without incident. When he was taken into custody, he told officers he had stabbed his dog at his home on Monroe Street in the DeLand area.

Deputies found Midnight in the house with an apparent knife wound to her right side. She was friendly and up and walking around despite her injury. Animal Services officers transported her for emergency evaluation and treatment and discovered she had an injury to her lung, but her condition was stable.

Animal Services is working in consultation with the State Attorney’s Office on the appropriate criminal charges against the defendant.

Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance are proud to announce that O’Quinn Insurance Services has earned a 2021 Make More Happen Award, recognizing its exceptional volunteerism with Provision Packs, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supplying nutritional assistance to low-income children and their families. The award includes a $5,000 donation with a chance to double the amount to $10,000 that will directly benefit the organization.

The story of O’Quinn Insurance and Provision Packs is featured on the official Make More Happen microsite (www.agentgiving.com/ oquinn-insurance) allowing the nonprofit a chance to earn the additional $5,000.

If the featured story receives at least 500 votes— shares to social media and comments on their story — the donation will be doubled to $10,000.

The donation will go toward Provision Packs’ Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Fund, giving them the resources to supply each child with a fresh fruit or vegetable every week.

“I was astonished to hear that one in five children in our area do not know where their next meal is coming from and during the COVID-19 pandemic, that number increased to one in three,” said Andrew

Van der Burgt, principal of O’Quinn Insurance. “Provision Packs provides food to about 550 children in twelve schools weekly – that alone explains the tremendous impact this program has on our community.”

O’Quinn Insurance plays an active role in Provision Packs’ major fundraising events throughout the year, including the River Scramble, Backpack Bash, Kids Fest and Golf Tournament. Several staff members regularly volunteer to help pack and distribute 17,000 meals to children in their area each week.

Throughout 2021, Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance will select a total of 34 independent agents nationwide for a Make More Happen Award donating up to $340,000 to nonprofits.

‘We accomplished a lot together’ Seabreeze quarterback Sam Gonzalez (14) looks for running room.

The Sandcrabs won their first district title in 14 years and finished with a winning record for the first time since 2013.

There was the summer road trip to Rutgers University in New Jersey for a 7 on 7 tournament that included visits to 13 colleges along the way. Hours upon hours in the weight room and on the practice

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

The score was not pretty, but it was the end of the journey that upset Seabreeze defensive end Jeremy West the most.

After winning their first district championship in 14 years, the Sandcrabs bowed out of the playoffs Friday, Nov. 12, with a 41-0 loss to Rockledge at Daytona Stadium.

A despondent West stood on the field after the game and tried to describe what his senior season meant to him.

“Throughout the whole season, we grew as a family,” said West, who led Volusia and Flagler counties with 12½ sacks during the regular season. “This is the best team I’ve been a part of. We always stick together.

We always back each other up.”

The Sandcrabs have been training together since mid-March. From off-season workouts to spring practice, to summer team camp to preseason drills in the heat of August.

MAINLAND FALLS SHORT IN PLAYOFF GAME Mainland’s rematch with Orlando Jones didn’t go as planned. The host Tigers edged the Bucs 35-28 Nov. 12 to knock Mainland out of the playoffs.

The Bucs finished 5-5 in Travis Roland’s first year as coach of his alm mater. They won four of their final five regular-season games to

field. Steady improvement after starting the season with four losses in their first six games. And finishing with their first winning record in eight years.

“We talk about establishing a foundation,” said third-year coach Pat Brown. “But this group right here is the foundation. The younger guys have to understand the foundation is leaving.”

Seabreeze (6-5) trailed Rockledge (9-2) 14-0 at the half, but the Sandcrabs never recovered from a 14-point swing midway through the first quarter when they fumbled at the Raiders’ 3-yard line, and then gave up a 95-yard run by Lavatus Watkins. The Raiders’ running back then ran it in from the 2 for the first score of the game.

“We just didn’t fit the appropriate

The Bucs, who lost to Jones (9-2) 33-21 in the regular season, committed five turnovers in the playoff game, including a late interception that clinched the victory for the home team.

gap,” Brown said. “We had a chance to go up 7-0 and ended up with nothing. In the playoffs, your windows get smaller — your blocking opportunities, your tackling opportunities.”

In the second half, the game got away from the Sandcrabs as they turned the ball over five more times.

“You got to get it together quick or it gets out of hand,” said Seabreeze offensive coordinator Matt Johnson.

“But there were a lot more positives than negatives this year. The guys came together as a team and kept getting better. Now we’ve got to keep it going.”

Seabreeze will graduate 17 seniors this year, including West.

“We accomplished a lot together,” West said. “I’m glad I got a chance to finish with this unit.”
