Almost 19 acres of wooded land off of Airport Road north of the Tomo ka River and west of U.S. 1 will stay wooded and become recreational land near Riverbend Nature Park. The Ormond Beach City Commis sion voted 4-1 during a City Com mission meeting the evening of Aug. 16 to buy the land in partnership with the St. Johns Water Management District and the Volusia County government for $770,000 through the Volusia Forever Land Acquisition program, designed to preserve eco logically valuable properties from development.“Ourresidents are clamoring for this,” Mayor Bill Partington said. “It couldn’t be more clear in the Parks and Rec Master Plan update and oth er surveys that we’ve done that they want open space, they want trails, they want preserved land, and this fits — I mean check, check, check — and knocks off every single one of those that our residents are demand ing from us. … And so it just seems like a huge environmental win. Huge win from a partnership perspective.”

The property will be owned jointly by the Volusia County government and the city of Ormond Beach gov ernment, while the Water Manage ment District will have a conserva tion easement for the whole property. The city will be responsible for creating and implementing a land management plan for it, and will allow passive recreational activities such as hiking, bicycling and birding. The Water Management District is paying 60% of the purchase price, or $462,000, while Volusia County and the city of Ormond Beach are each paying 20%, or $154,000 each. The land had previously been appraised at $800,000, and the owner had fielded private offers of $800,000.Closing costs will be divided equally between the three parties and will not exceed $7,000 each. The city completed a budget amendment to allow for the purchase. The land had been owned by Pen land & Pomerenke and had a previ ous site plan showing 80,000 square feet of office and industrial use, with a zoning classification of light industrial and land use designations of open space/conservation and light industrial/utilities.Citystaff,recognizing late last year that the property might meet Volusia Forever acquisition criteria, had approached Penland & Pome renke about buying it, and Penland & Pomerenke submitted a Volusia Forever Land Acquisition program application, city staff members told commissioners during the Aug. 16 meeting.When the city divided potential Volusia Forever properties into two categories based on priority this past spring, the 901 Airport Road was ini tially in the lower-priority category and didn’t receive funding. But the St. Johns River Water Man agement District was interested in preserving the land and its wetlands to mitigate a Florida Department of Transportation Project, according to city records, so Water Management District staff members began meet ing with city and county staff mem bers and worked out an agreement for the purchase.

Sanchez Park, damaged by fire in December, is on track for repairs in early September, City Manager Joyce Shanahan told Ormond Beach city commissioners at an Aug. 16 Ormond Beach City Commission meeting. The fire had damaged $50,000 worth of playground equipment.A51-year-old man was arrested for setting it. Replacement equipment has been received, and the city recently held a preconstruction meeting with the installer, Shanahan said. There have been delays because the equipment has custom colors honoring Cameron Brenneman, a 12-year-old Ormond Beach Middle School student killed in a car-related incident in 2012.“There were custom colors for this particular playground that were honoring that child that was killed and the family members,” Shanahan said. “We consulted with them before replacing that. It took a while to get those custom colors, so we weren’t dragging our feet there.” city Ormond Beach

Children who need specially designed education is the area with the greatest need for improvement in the county, Moore said, adding that the district has begun taking steps. “This summer, we started with professional learning for our teach ers. We looked at how we as a staff can meet the needs of students with disabilities, teachers not only being certified in ESE but certified in their particular content areas they’re sup porting as well,” Moore said.

JONATHAN SIMMONS MANAGING Flagler County commissioners at an Aug. 15 meeting agreed to extend a timeline to develop a new interlocal agreement that would dictate how and when developers pay fees to off set their developments’ impacts on localTheschools.commission shifted the dead line to approve an agreement from Sept. 1 to Nov. 9. The interlocal agreement — incor porating the school district, county government and local city govern ments — is required by law: Without an agreement in place, development would have to stop. The commission and the school district have been at odds for months over how much money developers should have to pay up front, with the school district seeking greater up-front payments while the coun ty pushes back. But in recent weeks, they’ve appeared to be nearing an agreement based on a proposal put forth by the city of Palm Coast and tweaked in recent meetings. At the meeting Aug. 15, commis sioners were considering a com promise agreement that would have developers pay 30% of their pay ments at the time of their final plat and site plan approval, another 30% 21 months later, and another 30% 21 months after the second payment, with the remaining 10% to be col lected as impact fees. “The November 9 deadline that we’re asking is more than enough time,” Deputy County Attorney Sean Moylan told commissioners. “We’re sticking it out a little further because in case some wrinkle arises, we don’t want to come back and ask again.” Commissioners approved the extension unanimously. The County Commission, school district and cities will have until Nov. 9.

Massaro, Conklin condemn ‘satanic’ comments
One year after a Flagler County School Board meeting got ugly, two School Board members complained about an election that they believe has also gotten ugly. At the Aug. 16 board meeting, Cheryl Massaro used her five min utes of closing comment time to rebut remarks board member Jill Woolbright made at a church service Sunday, Aug. 14, disparaging some of her fellow board members and the district office. At the New Way Church, Wool bright was recorded in a video posted to YouTube by FlaglerLive, saying, “I have never in my life been in such a satanic warfare, spiritual warfare, that I’ve felt the past two years on the board, especially dur ing this election season. We need a breakthrough. We have not had a conservative, God-fearing majority on the board.” She went on to say, “The two seats not up for election are far, far left progressives. They’re for everything we’re against.” She added that the district office is “progressive liberal.” After Woolbright and Janet McDonald used their closing com ments at the board meeting to praise the start of the new school year and the positive energy they experi enced on the first day of school, Massaro said she would like to be positive in her comments, but she couldWithoutnot. mentioning Woolbright by name, Massaro said, “I have to release my satanic vibes, at least that’s what I’ve been told to have. There is a lot of fake news out there, people.”Massaro said she has always tried to be the voice of reason in the mid dle and added that she is a lifelong Republican and a lifelong Catholic, but she believes in the separation of church and state. “If you want to call that satanic, I’m very sorry for that,” she said. She said she has tried hard to work with her colleagues on the board, “and I’m not sure I can do that any more.”Colleen Conklin followed Mas saro, saying, “Apparently, you and I are of the same satanic cult.” Conklin said she is a woman of great“I’mfaith.looking for this election to be over,” she said. “What is impor tant is educating our children, not politics.”Atthe church, Woolbright said, “The Lord has put in this race three conservative Christians,” referring to herself, who is running against Sally Hunt for the District 1 seat; Will Furry who is running against Lance Alred and Courtney VandeBunte for the District 2 seat; and Chris ty Chong, who is running against School Board Chair Trevor Tucker for the District 4 seat. The board has been collegial in recent months, unlike last August when deputies cleared the room dur ing public comments and a crowd protesting potential mask mandates got unruly outside the county board room.
The meeting itself was brief, with the board unanimously approving all agenda items. They passed a new memorandum of understanding, with the school district agreeing to reimburse the county half the salary for the Fla gler Palm Coast Fire Academy’s lead instructor for the current school year. The county had been provid ing the instructor since 2016. Students enrolled in the Fire Academy are able to earn industry certification in CPR, first responder and firefighting I and II. Students completing the program are certified as firefighters and are able to take the state firefighter exam. “I’d like to thank the county for paying 50% for this instructor, because it is a unique program,” Tucker said.

BOARD TO SHARE FIRE INSTRUCTOR’S SALARY
According to the 18-year-old’s arrest report and the FCSO’s press release, the text message to Mullins had offered to sell him an eight-ball of Mullinscocaine.told the Observer that the phone number had been on a list of voters Mullins had been calling ahead of the coming primary elec tion. But the name associated with the number on his voter list was not the name of the 18-year-old man who was arrested. “He called my phone back thinking I was someone else, and he must’ve had someone’s number that was no longer valid,” Mullins said to the Observer in a text message. “They changed the number and he must’ve gotten it as a cell.” After Mullins got the suspicious text message, he called FCSO Chief of Staff Mark Strobridge. Detectives traced the text number to the phone’s owner, an 18-year-old Palm Coast resident, and collected screen shots of the text messages between Mullins and the suspect. With Mullins’ cooperation, the FCSO set up a “buy-bust” operation at about 12:40 a.m. Aug. 15 near a pond off Bird of Paradise Drive. The 18-year-old arrived and walked toward an undercover FCSO car to sell the drugs, according to the arrest report. When he approached the rear door, a detective inside identified himself as a law enforcement officer. The suspect threw a container he was holding toward the lake. Depu ties found it on the ground with a baggie containing a white rock-like substance.Adeputy then called the number the suspect had been using to set up the drug buy. The teen’s phone rang. The white rock-like substance weighed 3.17 grams and tested posi tive for fentanyl, not cocaine. Deputies arrested the 18-year-old on changes of felony possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and unlawful use of a two-way commu nications device. He’s previously been charged in Flagler County for possession of alco hol by a person under 21 and posses sion of 20 grams or less of marijuana. Mullins, quoted in the FCSO press release, praised the Sheriff’s Office and warned about the dangers of drugs. “On Tuesday the 16th, I celebrate 11 years of sobriety,” he said, accord ing to the press release. “I hope this arrest brings this person to the real ization that there is a problem in their life. It is my prayer that is a wakeup call and that he will seek help. The quick action further proves we have the finest sheriff’s office and they deserve our full support.” When the FCSO posted a press release on the agency’s Facebook page, locals speculated in the replies, suggesting that Mullins had turned in his own drug dealer or had arranged the incident and the FCSO’s press release for positive media coverage ahead of the election. Asked for a response, Mullins text ed the Observer: “Addiction is a very serious issue in our society, and we need to treat it that way in this coun ty and do the best we can to stop it by getting this stuff off the streets and help for the ones suffering. It could be anyone’s child or family member or friend that got ahold of that stuff and died. It’s sad that some are treat ing this any Strobridgedifferently.”toldtheObserver that the FCSO had reached out to Mullins for a quote for the press release, not the other way around. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly, in the press release, spoke of the incident as an example of how ‘See something, say something,’ protects the“Icommunity.thankCommissioner Mullins for immediately reporting this poi son peddler,” Staly said, according to the press release. “His cooperation allowed our SIU detectives to arrange the buy-bust and get this dangerous drug off the streets. This poison ped dler is now staying at the Green Roof Inn. It’s another example of how ‘See Something, Say Something’ works.”

JONATHAN SIMMONS MANAGING EDITOR A local 18-year-old texted County Commission Chairman Joe Mul lins with an offer to sell cocaine, and Mullins contacted the Sheriff’s Office, leading to the man’s arrest. A Flagler County Sheriff’s Office press release, headlined “Drug dealer arrested with commissioner’s help,” referred to the text Mullins had received as “a random text message.”
Keeping Flagler County’s sand beaches from eroding into the Atlantic will cost millions of dollars per year and may involve extend ing a planned Army Corps of Engi neers beach project further along the county’s 18-mile Commissionerscoast.discussed options during a workshop Aug. 15 as they reviewed the results of a $250,000 study conducted for the county government by the engineering firm Olsen Associates. The county is expecting the Army Corps of Engineers to renourish a 2.6-mile stretch of the coast, but must still determine how to address the rest of it; the county is prepar ing to draft an ordinance that would place the county government in con trol of beach management for the whole Flagler County coast. Some commissioners expressed interest in having the Corps extend its work area further north and south. Olsen presented the county gov ernment with six options involving adding varying amounts of sand to the beach, the dune, or both, with varying methods; the sixth would extend the fill volume of the Army Corps project — 44 cubic yards of sand per linear foot — along all 18 miles of coastline. The county would need assistance to fund the sixth option. The annual estimated cost for the six alternatives ranges from $7.9 million per year to $15.9 million per year. “The first three [options] are just Band-Aid fixes, I think,” County Commissioner Greg Hansen said. “And then four, five and six are unaf fordable at this time.” Adding a seawall along some areas would add design and permitting costs. Those would total around $1.8 million for a 2.4-mile stretch of coastline, County Engineer Faith Alkhatib said. The county’s erosion problem has gotten progressively worse in recent decades, said Christopher Creed, an engineer with Olsen Associates. In the almost five decades between 1972 and 2021, the county lost 3.6 million yards of sand, which would average out to about 73,000 cubic yards per year. But a third of the total loss occurred over the last decade. Commissioner Dave Sullivan was interested in the possibility of add ing jetties to contain the sand. Commissioner Donald O’Brien said the county needs to identify a funding source. “The problem is not going away, and obviously we need to figure out how we’re going to take action going forward amongst the options,” O’Brien said. “I think the biggest priority needs to be preservation of life and property. No matter what we do, we have to prioritize that way amongst those 18 miles, I think.”

Trulieve, the state’s largest medicalmarijuana operator, and countrymusic legends The Bellamy Brothers are backing a proposed constitu tional amendment that would allow recreational use of marijuana by people 21 or older. The proposed amendment was filed Monday, Aug. 8, at the state Division of Elections, with Tallahas see-based Trulieve contributing $5 million to the effort to get the measure on the 2024 ballot. Other multi-state medical marijuana op erators also are expected to support theFloridacampaign.voters passed a consti tutional amendment in 2016 to broadly legalize medical marijuana, and nearly 800,000 patients have been authorized for the treatment. While past recreational-marijuana initiatives in the state have failed, supporters of the new proposal say they’re confident it will satisfy Florida Supreme Court require ments to make it onto the ballot and will gain support from voters. “It’s all about improving access,” Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers told The News Service of Florida in an inter view.The “Adult Personal Use of Mari juana” proposal would allow people 21 or older “to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and mari juana accessories for non-medical personal consumption by smoking, ingestion, or otherwise.”

Don’t pick palmetto berries on county property: It’s illegal Palmetto berries on Flagler County public lands might be tempting, but county ordinance forbids picking them.“It’s palmetto berry season, which means it is the time of year when we see people on the side of roadways and in our parks to pick the berries. I received my first call of the year about palmetto berry picking at MalaCompra a week ago, and our parks staff called a deputy for palmetto berry poachers at River to Sea Preserve today,” Flagler County Public Lands and Natural Resource Manager Mike Lagassé said, according to a news release. Flagler County ordinance also prohibits the removal of soil, rock, sand, stones, trees, shrubs, plants or wood materials. The penalty is up to “Palmetto$500. berry harvesting activities reduce the amount of food available for wildlife and can create unwanted trails and debris on our public lands,” Lagassé said. “These berry pickers are working in hazardous conditions damaging our parks and interrupting food sources for our native wildlife, and out-ofcounty private companies profit off of Toit.”report illegal berry harvesting on county property, call Lagassé at 386-313-4064 or call the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office nonemergency number, 386-313-4911. Palm Coast man, 24, arrested for molesting girl A 24-year-old Palm Coast man was arrested Aug. 12 for molesting a 13-year-old girl as she slept in his apartment last year. The arrest was the result of a 13-month investigation, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies arrested the suspect, Joshua Paul Brown, at his home on Hummingbird Lane.The crime occurred in June 2021 at the Integra Woods Apartments complex.Thevictim had been sleeping on a couch in the living room when she awoke to find Brown, naked, grabbing her hand and placing it on his genitals. She pulled away, and he told her not to tell anyone, according to the news release. She tried to get away from him by moving to a bedroom and locking the door, and he repeatedly tried to get into the room. She finally fell asleep, but awoke again to find him in the room, naked, pulling a blanket off of her. She was able to drive him out of the room and text her mother to pick her up from the apartment. Brown is charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a minor and with lewd and lascivious exhibition to a minor.
Democrats target DeSantis over raid comments Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidates called out Gov. Ron De Santis for comments he made after an unprecedented FBI raid on Aug. 8 at the Palm Beach home of former President Donald Trump. During a news conference Tues day morning outside the governor’s mansion, Democratic candidate Nikki Fried said both political parties should tone down inflammatory rhetoric about the raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and that the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice should be allowed to investigate. The search was reportedly tied to Trump’s retention of classified material amid investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. It came as speculation swirls about Trump and DeSantis running for the White House in 2024. DeSantis went on Twitter after Monday’s raid and said President Joe Biden’s White House had “weap onized” federal agencies. “The raid of MAL (Mar-a-Lago) is another escalation in the weaponiza tion of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves,” DeSantis tweeted, referring to the president’s son. Democratic gubernatorial can didate Charlie Crist, a congress man from St. Petersburg, issued a statement Monday night saying that “no one is above the law, not even a former president.”

For the ninth year in a row, Volusia County’s Purchasing and Contracts Division has received the Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award from the National Procurement Institute. With the 2022 award, the county’s Purchasing and Contracts Division has won this award 15 times, according to a news release.Volusia County is one of only 36 counties among the 171 U.S. and Canadian agencies to receive the award, which recognizes innovation, e-procurement,productivity,professionalism,leadershipandaccordingto the news release. The Purchasing and Contracts Division is led by Pam Wilsky. Woman arrested for abusing child A 33-year-old Palm Coast woman wrote derogatory words on a juvenile family member’s face, shoved a metal bar in the child’s mouth, handcuffed the child inside a hot car and shaved the child’s head after the woman found sexually explicit photographs on the child’s phone, witnesses told deputies. The woman’s coworkers saw the incident and reported it, leading to her arrest at 4:58 p.m. Aug. 11, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect, Priscilla Jocelyn Florentino, also resisted arrest. Florentino is facing charges of child abuse without great bodily harm, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting an officer without violence. “You have the right to discipline, but this woman took her anger out on the victim in completely unacceptable ways and then tried to impede the deputies who responded to investigate,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said, according to the news release. “In my career, I’ve never seen someone do these kind of horrific acts to a minor as disciplinary measures. I hope she gets anger management classes, which she obviously needs.”

What’s a message that you’d like to get out to the OBMS family? I want the school to be a positive atmosphere for all, with education and positive culture at the forefront — that their students are safe, that they know they’re com ing to a safe campus, because that’s on everybody’s hearts rightWe’renow.providing a safe place for their students to have a positive learning envi ronment.
JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR Q+A HEATHER IANNARELLI, ORMOND BEACH MIDDLE SCHOOL’S NEW PRINCIPAL
W hen she started her career in edu cation, Heather Iannarelli didn’t think she would one day be a principal.Sheloved being in the classroom, having worked as a parapro fessional while she was in the college as well. But when she was a teacher at Ormond Beach Middle School, her principal at the time, Carl Persis, saw lead ership potential in her, Iannarelli said. It was a scary thought at first having that responsibility to lead, she said. “But I went for it, and I think I was influenced by my leaders, who thought I had the qualities of what it would take, and just having the confidence to do it myself,” said Iannarelli, who has been in education for over 20 years. The Ormond Beach Observer recently spoke with Ormond Beach Middle School’s new princi pal about changes coming to the middle school format, the people who shaped her as a principal and what inspires her.
What is your favorite thing about being a principal? The people — working with the kids, the students and the community, the families. It’s looking into seeing how we’re building the future and doing everything we can to give the kids the best possible experi ence in school that they can have, the learning experi ence. It’s a safe space, and we try to make sure it’s some where where it’s welcoming and where they’re excited to come here. Going into next school year, what are some of the goals you have in mind for OBMS? Middle school has got excit ing things. Middle school districtwide is under rede sign. We’re going back to the teaming aspect of it. When they leave elementary and come to middle school, it’s a huge change. They’re going from one, maybe two teachers to now they’ve got six periods and every teacher is different, and the personalities are dif ferent, and they have different behavior management plans, and different ways of teach ing, and it’s juts a huge change for the children. So our district level people looked at that and decided, “Hey, maybe we want to con sider bringing teaming back.” This is supposed to bring the fun back to middle school, eventually intramural sports, a lot more one-on-one work ing with students. When I say that, it’s because we’re going to have three teams in sixth grade, for example. These 150 kids will have the same ELA teacher, the same science teacher, the same social studies teacher and the same math teacher. So it’s making things a little bit more consistent for kids to help the transition be a little more towards sec ondary [school] while still guiding them. At the same time, those teachers will be able to There’scollaborate.goingtobe a lot more communication on student wellbeing, which is great for middle school. We’re also implementing what’s called PBIS, which is Positive Behavior Incentive Systems. That’s going to be districtwide in middle school. So it’s a chance for us to really celebrate when they’re doing something right, and they earn points. That’s going to be really cool Coupledtoo.with the teaming, I think we’ve got a really bright future in middle school. Education is still key. That’s what we’re aiming towards, but if we can get the positivity and the culture for learning in place, education is going to fall right in line. During the pandemic, kids were at home, and learning loss was a big concern for parents. How are you hoping to address that at OBMS? We’re on the track to doing that. We’re up from where we were, but we’re still not where we want to be. So we’re a “B” this year, but we want to be a high “B” and then an “A,” so we keep shooting towards the top. We really want to focus on our instructional practices, and there’s several different ways we can do that with dif ferent strategies and profes sional development, because it’s not just what the stu dents are doing — it’s what we’re doing too. Our focus areas are going to be towards our ELA and our students with disabilities, and our behavior too. I think the teaming and the PBIS is going to be a big help with decreas ing behavior concerns. That middle school age level, there’s been a lot of problems nationwide, with respect and knowing how to deal with conflict, and not just between peers and themselves, but when a kid is dealing with something that makes them unhappy, how they react to it.

Of course Carl Persis was very influential in getting my leadership and education off the ground. Matt Krajew ski, he was a principal here before, and I was reading coach under him. His leader ship style was amazing. He was great with the culture of the school, but then also keeping us goal-driven to keepJasonexcelling.Watson was an amazing principal that I worked with at Holly Hill. He was so good at making sure that everybody was taken care of but at the same time, we kept going towards a goal — very similar to Matt. As a child, who made me want to go into education? I’ll never forget Courtney Ronca. She was my fifth grade teacher, and she was one of those teachers that was ahead of her time, like with projectbased learning, and just so energetic and loved her job, and you could see that she loved it and loved kids. I strive for every kid to have teachers like that. What is the biggest lesson that you learned over the course of your career that inspires you every day? I think the biggest thing is, it’s not a solo job. You have to have all of your stakeholders and hear everyone’s ideas and their plans and their con cerns, because it truly does take a village to raise a child, and we’re all influential in that child’s life. So we all have to work together.

Volusia County employs 100 guardians to supplement its 22 school resource officers and school resource deputies in protecting cam puses.The Department of Education mandates that every school has a safe school officer. Guardians can fill that requirement.TheFlagler County School District has only nine schools, and they are all covered by school resource deputies supplied by the Flagler County Sher iff’s Office. Now, the district is look ing into adding guardians to put an extra safety officer on the campuses. At a School Board workshop on Aug. 16, District Safety Specialist Tom Wooleyhan explained the pro gram to board members while Sheriff Rick Staly answered questions. “I think the size of our schools demands we should have more than one person on campus,” School Board member Janet McDonald said.The guardian program was estab lished by the state legislature after the mass shooting at Marjory Stone man Douglas High School in 2018. It was named after Coach Aaron Feis, who sacrificed his life protecting students at the school. Guardians are tasked with pre venting or abating active assailant incidences. Guardians are armed, but they have no arresting authority. Each guardian must complete a minimum of 144 hours of train ing, 132 of which is mostly devoted to firearm instruction and safety. Twelve hours are devoted to diver sityStatetraining.statute requires the training program to be administered by the local Sheriff’s Office. Michelle Newman, the Volu sia School District’s chief of secu rity operations, said guardians go through more firearm training than law“Theenforcement.trainingthey get is truly fan tastic,” she said. The Volusia guardians are military veterans and former law enforce ment officers who still want to serve their communities, Newman said. “They’ve really integrated into the fabric of the schools,” she said. “We get so many compliments on our guardians. Teachers, principals tell us, ‘please don’t take my guardian away.’ They work seamlessly with schools that have SROs and SRDs.” Districts are reimbursed $500 per guardian through DOE grants for Sheriff Office costs for screening, training, firearms and ammunition, but Staly said the cost would more likely be $1,000 to $1,200 per guard ian.“That means you would have to come up with another $700 for us to do the training,” Staly told the board. The district is responsible for paying the guardians’ salaries. Staly said the district would need to hire 12 guardians to cover vacation, sick days, etc., if it wants to add one to each of the nine campuses. He said he would not be in favor of using guardians to replace deputies on campus and wouldn’t want to be a part of the program under those circumstances.Boardmember Colleen Conklin asked if de-escalation training would be included. Staly said he would like Volusia County currently has 100 guardians to supplement its school resource officers and deputies. to add that to the 144 training hours. He said de-escalation would proba bly require another 20 hours of train ing for it to be effective. Board Chair Trevor Tucker said the board will need to have anoth er workshop on the program. If it decides to participate in the pro gram, Wooleyhan said it will have to decide whether the guardians would carry their weapons openly or keep them concealed. If the weapons are concealed, would the public know who the guardians are? Some dis tricts choose to have their guardians wear uniforms. Others wear plain clothes.Guardians can be school employ ees who take on the added respon sibility, or as in Volusia County, per sonnel hired specifically to be school guardians.

The latest rant by perpetual May oral candidate Rob Bridger in the Observer this month is disturbing, yet unsurprising. As is customary, Mr. Bridger and his narrow-minded supporters fill this section of the paper each week with their venom toward our city and its leaders, and often with half-baked information andThismischaracterizations.particularabjectlesson in ignorance included revisionist his tory on Ormond Beach and some Chicken Little concern of what the next 100 years might bring, using the same trite, fear-fueled argu ment that we are “overdeveloped.” Like most Ormonders, Mr. Bridger moved here from some where else, as did I. The difference is he moved here as an adult, and I moved here in kindergarten. He had a choice on where to reside and chose to contribute to the “overde velopment” by relocating here. Did someone complain about growth when his home was built or his moving van arrived? Most likely, which is why his grievances on this topic are so inconceivable. Imagine if Christopher Columbus sailed into town in 1492 and told everyone in Europe, “I found America, but you can’t join me, because only then will we become overdeveloped!” Anyone who thought they could move here from some faraway place and expect the door to lock behind them was sadly mistaken. People like Mr. Bridger should be exposed for what they are: hypocrites. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the decade with the highest population growth in our city was the 1980’s, coincidentally the time when Mr. Bridger says he got here. Residency increased by 8,285 peo ple back then. Every other decade in history, Ormond has grown by less than 7,000 people, including the most recent one, the 2010’s, which saw an increase of just 4,943. If that’s overdevelopment to you, I’ve got a “Bridger” to sell you! Some of us actually like call ing Ormond “home” and we can also do basic math to see that his arguments are, as usual, riddled with mistakes. Our city hasn’t grown because it’s as terrible as the anti-everything crowd spokesman Bridger would have you believe. Mr. Bridger has run for mayor three times now. I get it: he really, really, really wants the job. But voters should view him skeptically. Anyone who will say anything to get your vote and hopes you won’t notice their sheer hypocrisy is not someone you want as the elected leader of your hometown.
I have been developing in our community for 37 years, and I continue to invite any resident, and that includes those running for office, to meet with me if they have questions regarding our projects. We may not agree on all aspects of the development, and in some cases we may not agree at all, but I welcome the dialogue so we can at least establish the facts. I understand it is difficult for a candidate to comprehend the entire development process and regula tions. I do not fault Mr. Valerio for his lack of experience, but that should not give him a free pass on promoting his campaign at the expense of others. I am a 52-year resident, and I believe that Ormond Beach is the best community to call home.

community, I believe the first quali fication is that they are informed and truthful; isn’t that a reasonable starting point for any candidate? In response to Joseph Valerio’s recent editorial “Development Games,” relative to the Regal multifamily project, a “traffic study” is not required by the county and the city for this type of redevelopment, which will generate 47% less traffic then the previous use. We provided a traffic analysis of the past use, the proposed multifamily use and also an alternate use of large box retail, which, by the way, retail would generate triple the multi-family use traffic. I encourage Mr. Valerio and any other candidate to research the data submitted, speak with the planning staff or meet with the applicant to learn the process and regulations before attempting to insinuate that the City Commission ignored a requirement for a traffic study.

In general, the human race has not evolved beyond our animal nature, which is good, in that it provides survival instincts. Beyond that, our survival instincts can be channeled into creative solutions. Don’t be left behind quarreling with one another. There is a new way to do things. It is the power of synergy, in which everyone walks away thrilled with what we have come up with together, across party lines and divisions. One does not come to the table with half-baked solutions, because the ideas emerge out of the dialogue. Then we see the proof that when we engage with one another, through the actual interaction itself, we can come up with innovative solutions. “Let’s Create It,” put together by Bill Denny and Linda Williams, meets every two weeks to bring together forward-thinking ideas from all sides of the spectrum. The topic is, “How do we all together want to grow in our communities in Volusia County and the surrounding areas?” Send an email to billden ny105@gmail.com for an invite to our next meeting, on Zoom.

MIKE SCUDIERO Ormond Beach Editor’s note: Scudiero is a mem ber of the Ormond Beach Planning Board and works on incumbent Mayor Bill Partington’s reelection campaign.Bridgersubmitted the following response:DearEditor:Mymessageis clear and concise. My message is resonating with every voter I’ve spoken with during the primary election’s early vot ing this week at the Ormond Beach library.Mymessage is that: Ormond Beach is being overdeveloped ... overdeveloped to the extent that our environment, our small-city qual ity of life, and ultimately our water supply is being threatened. In 1989, I made an adult decision to become a Ormond Beach resident and homeowner who loves this city ... enough to commute I-4 to work in Orlando for many years. I will support the development of world class neighborhoods like The Trails, Tomoka Oaks, Ormond Lakes, Tymber Creek, and Breakaway Trails. Until 2002, good development hap pened on a level playing field under rules protecting both the environment and adjacent property owners’ rights. I am against overdevelopment. I am against the densities proposed for the Tymber Creek apartments and Tomoka Oaks’ interior. I am against Ormond Beach supplying water and sewer services to Avalon Park overdevelopment in Daytona Beach. And against the city con tracting a second sewer plant largely to service Avalon in Daytona. Over the last 20 years, our city gov ernance has lost its way with weak ened wetland and development rules, and with waivers and rules excep tions for planned business develop ments. My message to residents, business owners, developers, grass roots environmentalists — we were once all on the same page. We can be again. Every last one of us wants a better Ormond Beach. My message is that after 19 years, it’s time for a change, time for new leadership, time for government transparency and accountability. My name is Rob Bridger, and I’m running for Mayor to end polariza tion and unify a great city. If you run for office ...

TIM GRIGSBY Ormond Beach
Editor’s note: Grigsby is a candidate for the Zone 1 Ormond Beach City Commission seat. Tolland submitted the following comment in response to Grigsby’s letter: “It’s unfortunate that Mr. Grigsby would choose to go so negative when I have made it a point to campaign as a positive voice for Ormond’s future. I’m blessed to have a plethora of family friends and work or service group colleagues that have donated to my campaign. But it’s also worth noting that I have abstained from taking money from developers. Unlike Mr. Grigsby, this is my first time running and campaigning is expensive.Astothe issues, I have had hun dreds of positive discussions with residents as I have walked neigh borhoods in this campaign and am always happy to do so. My heart is with what is best for our city, and that means balancing between the rights of property owners with what is best for the community. I strive to maintain that balance and show favoritism to no one. I look forward to continuing to dialogue with all who care for our city and refuse to resort to negative attacks in my campaign.”

Lori Tolland campaign offers soft promises, but no solutions DearExpensiveEditor: glossy mailers from my Zone 1 City Commission opponent Lori Tolland keep turning up in my mailbox. A recent mailer shows a pair of hands stretching a $1 bill, with Lori’s photo and words promising low tax rates and careful spending. These claims are made by a can didate who has amassed $57,835 in campaign contributions, the high est total of all seven active com mission candidates. Her campaign has already blown through $41,450. Why does careful spender Lori Tolland need all that money to win? Our tax rates are low because Ormond Beach has $4.5 billion in property value, up 11% from last year. The tax rate is important to wealthy property owners, but has little meaning for lower-income homeowners struggling to pay enormous utility bills that have gone up 15 times in the last 20 years, with more increases coming. At the CFOB forum last month, Lori called the airport runway extension a done deal, a “moot point.” She had no position on the loss of the historical Union Church or the commission decisions that purchased the church, allowed it to rot, then razed it for a parking lot. The latest mailer touts her love for the environment, claiming to save the loop from overdevelopment. Yet Lori’s Planning Board decisions voted to recommend the clearcut ting of hundreds of acres, approved the development Granada Pointe, clear-cutting of 2061 trees for the Wawa gas station, allowed overde velopment that removed historic live oaks on Sterthaus Avenue, and vacated historic district protections to approve high-density townhouses on New Britain Avenue. In comparison to Lori’s vague fiscal promises, here are my ideas to saveStopmoney:theairport runway exten sion and the capital spending at an Ormond Beach airport that is now a million dollars in debt. Concede the property tax bill for the River Bend golf course and stop paying outside legal fees ($340,000 so far) to fight the bill in court. Vacate the last year of a five-year, $440,000 contract with Ghyabi Consulting, a transportation con sultant for Daytona and Ormond Beach who donates to politicians who rubber stamp her contract renewals. Do not provide Ormond Beach water and sewer services to Avalon Park and do not build a second sewer plant to provide those services. Sunset the downtown CRA (set to expire in 2036) that has poured millions into the pockets of five business owners. Use the sav ings to give our police, first respond ers and code enforcement a salary and pension that is above average for area municipalities. Partner with a hospital to establish an emergency room/urgent care center on the beachside to replace the hospital that closed five years ago. Compare my common sense, practical action plan with the vague promises made by my opponent who will deliver more of the same, business as usual.

Preston(“Dick”)Richard
In the early morning hours of August 3, 2022, Richard (“Dick”) Pres ton passed away at the age of 80 in Monterey, CA. Richard was born in Flint, MI to Al and Erma Preston.Hereceived his Bachelor’s degree from Western Michigan University. After college, he served for 3 years in the Army as a 1st Lieu tenant (1966-69). He shared 55 years with his wife, Mary (“Dee”), who he met on a blind date while in the Army. They raised two daughters together.Richard worked as an operations manager for Sun Company moving often throughout the Northeast, until settling in Murrysville, PA. He enjoyed golfing, trav eling (especially planning), hunting and fishing. His fondest memories included, fishing with just his Dad and the whole family in Deep River, Canada, the infamous cross-country motor home trip of ’83 (where much to the chagrin of his family he decided to quit smoking), pheasant hunting with his English Setters, golfing in Ireland and traveling with his wife to Alaska and Greek Isles. He was an avid card player, often schooling people in bridge, poker and cribbage. He raised his girls to be fiercely independent (bordering on stubborn) and was very proud of their accomplishments. One of his greatest honors was serving as the Manager for the East Archery Team for the US Olympic Festival in 1987. He retired early and headed to Ormond Beach, FL where he played at least 18 holes of golf daily for almost 20 years. He made life-long friends. His friends describe him as a genuine and likeable guy who was generous with his time. He loved his standing breakfast/lunch dates with them. He never hesitated telling stories of his family and travels (and giving travel advice whether solicited or not) with anyone who would listen. He was curious and interested in people, always talking to strangers, wanting to hear their stories. After moving to Monterey at the start of COVID to be closer to his girls, he spoke to his Plantation Bay friends daily as if they still lived right next door.Richard is survived by his wife, Dee, his two daughters, Christina (Linda Arceo) and Heather from Monterey, CA, two sisters Karen (Herb) Kuehlwein from Tucson, AZ and Penny (Yank) Moore from Brunswick, GA, many nephews and nieces, and wonderful friends.

We have learned that building wealth for investors, just like building a scalable business, does not take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Through our Regulation A+ offering, investors are able to invest in bonds bearing 9.0% interest annually and maturing on the third anniversary of the initial issuance date.

The Rands have sold Billy’s to developer Bill Jones. In 1977, the couple celebrated their move to Florida at Billy’s. Doug’s career in the restaurant business began with Mister-Donut, which he bought from his father at the age of 23. “I can turn 36 doughnuts in five seconds,” he Eventually,said.the Rands purchased Doug and Lil’s Potato Patch, which seats 58 and serves breakfast and lunch. They had differing opinions regarding their next venture. Doug always wanted a dinner restaurant, while Lillian wanted to spend time with her husband. Little did she know that they would be buying Bil ly’s, where the couple would spend a great deal of time together working the business and building clientele. In 2010, the restaurant closed due to foreclosure, and the Rands notified the bank that they were interested in purchasing the business. After fail ing to reach an agreement initially, they were pleasantly surprised when the bank contacted them to let them know it was still available. They pur chased the restaurant and reopened in May “The2011.restaurant business is not easy, but it is rewarding,” Doug said. “It’s one of the few businesses where you can get instant gratification if you do a good job.” Patrons of Billy’s have always been guaranteed quality steaks and sea food, along with excellent service — all staples of a successful estab lishment.“Seventy percent of the equation is offering good service,” he said. “I tell everyone I hire, you can always replace a bad meal, but you cannot replace bad service.” Friends, family and former employees returned to enjoy a meal at Billy’s and say farewell to the Rands.“Icame along in 1946, and my par ents were already eating here,” Chris Wickersham said. “This has been a piece of our family and heritage for years. We will definitely miss it. More than that, we will miss Doug and his wife. They are wonderful people.” For several years, Rand has sug gested that Billy’s is for sale. He wanted to sell to a local business owner, preferably with experience in the restaurant business. Jones brought his crew to Billy’s, which made the Rands feel that he was seri ous about the purchase. Both parties reached an agreement, and Jones bought the “Knowingrestaurant.it’stheright person, the right buyer, made it worthwhile,” RandOnesaid.ofthe concerns expressed by several patrons was not knowing if the new owner would keep Billy’s vintage look, which harkens back to the Rockefeller days and racing on the“Ibeach.really hope they keep the same feel,” Lloyd Bowers said. “It’s basi cally had the same look since the 1920s, and everyone loves that.” Employees also questioned what the future without the Rands would bring. They said they are like fam ily and will miss their customers. Michelle Spicer has been a server at the restaurant for 22 years. “It’s heartbreaking,” she said. “I’ve been with them since they reopened and with two other owners. It’s not just a restaurant, it’s a family. I have a lot of regular customers, and I’m going to miss them so much. Some of them are getting older, and I don’t want to leave them.” Tears came to Doug’s eyes as he talked about what Billy’s has meant to him. The Rands said that even though they may have had to buy tacos on their way home from work ing at their restaurants, they always had fun together. “It’s bittersweet,” he said. “It’s time to move on and watch other people do it.

“Wilson Romero is just an incred ible artist,” Shirk said. “When I was looking around to get my feet wet in the art scene (in Central Florida), he was one of first artists to knock my socks off. Wilson’s work is very detailed, very romantic, very stylized in its own way.” Shirk is a neo-pointellist painter who creates his pieces on multiple sheets of layered plexiglass. “The effect creates a threedimensional kinetic painting that moves and changes as the viewer’s perspective changes,” he said. “If you look at my paintings close up, one layer might be reds, the layer beneath it might be blues. It gives the paint ing a lot more complexity.” Ryan was a detective and a foren sic artist in the New York City Police Department until his retirement in 2004. He was born in Trinidad, which may explain his attraction to Caribbean Carnival. “I’ve been to every Carnival in Florida — Miami, Orlando, Jackson ville, Tampa,” he said. He photographs women at the fes tivals and creates his paintings from the photos. Ryan’s wife, Richlin Bur nett-Ryan, is also an artist. Women are the caretakers of the art world right now, he said. “Women are at the forefront today. They’re aggressively saying, ‘We’re here,’” Ryan said. His painting “Ammo Galore” depicts a woman in costume wearing bullet bandoliers around her shoul ders and head. “She depicts power and strength,” he says. Ryan said his art and Montoya’s have the most similarities among the five“Leonardoartists. and myself both paint in oil, we’re both realists and we’re both colorists,” he said. “His themes are really exciting. Mine are based on the Caribbean diaspora, the cos tumes, the lifestyles, the excitement participating in Carnival. I like to paint women in their most joyous state.”

T he five men sharing the latest exhibition at the Art League of Daytona Beach approach their work from different perspectives. What they have in common is their subject matter. The show, “Men Painting Women,” draws together five award-winning artists who focus on the female form. “We’re five males painting with different sensibilities. It makes it interesting,” said Palm Coast artist WeldonOrmondRyan.Beach artist Robert Shirk gathered the artists together for the original show in the summer of 2020 at the Orlando Public Library. This is the second version of the show. The artists, in addition to Ryan and Shirk, are Leonardo Montoya Perez from Fort Lauderdale and Wilson Romero and Herbie Martin, both from Orlando. “I came across Weldon Ryan’s works at the Flagler County Art League,” Shirk said. “I thought, this guy’s awesome. I met him, we hit it off. And as I’m meeting other art ists, I saw that some are really good, and like me, paint mostly women. I thought it would be great to have our ownTheshow.”exhibit runs through Sept. 4 and includes 25 diverse paintings of women. An artists’ reception is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 20, from 4 to 7 p.m. “We come to the subject matter from totally different angles,” Shirk said. “We all do it differently.” Martin, for example, is a profes sional photographer who literally paints women. He body paints his models, photographs them, photo shops the prints on canvas and paints on the canvas to create a final piece. The artist’s reception will include a body-painted model. “In my world, every piece I do is poetry,” Martin states on Shirk’s website promoting the exhibit. “That’s how I see women, and that’s why I create pieces about women.” Montoya’s Diva Collection fea tures actresses and artists from Yalitza Aparicio and Lupita Amondi Nyong’o to Frida Kahlo, Twiggy and AudreyWilsonHepburn.Romero’s art is reminis cent of 19th-century Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, but he says his biggest influence was his mother.

Giorgetta Gasperi ni was a pioneer, who never viewed herself as such. Giorgetta was a confident, risk-taking, successful business woman, long before it was “okay” to be one. She grew up both in Italy and the US, which while not uncommon in the first part of the 20th century, was still a unique life. As a citizen of Rome, she always proudly considered herself a true Romana, regardless of the fact that she spent most of her life in the US. Being fluent in Italian and English, Giorgetta had a very productive career in the travel industry; first working for Green Stamps (back when they offered tours as perks), then Ford Motor Company, and then as an independent travel agent for the last years of her career.
Giorgetta was very proud, deservedly so, of her ability to organize tours, solve problems, anticipate issues and make sure everyone had a great time. She traveled the world (including China), long before it was popular, and lived in wonderful places, including Rome, Italy; Chicago, IL; Washington, DC; and Santa Rosa, CA. She retired to an incredible condo in Palm Coast, Florida, facing the Atlantic, with dolphins leaping through the surf. Giorgetta is survived by nephews, nieces and cousins. Her remains will be interred in Frankfort Cemetery next to her beloved mother, Mamie Pardi Gasperini. She will be missed and remembered.

We ran the ball good, and we passed great. Our quarterbacks had a lot of time.”
The Bucs, who travel to Matanzas for a kickoff classic Friday, Aug. 19, appear to be ready for the start of the season. Quarterback Damarcus Creecy, who transferred from Spruce Creek in the offseason, helped Main land jump out to a 28-0 first-quarter lead, and the defense kept the Titans off the scoreboard.

“He had a great football game,” Roland said. “That’s why he won the job. He’s the best quarterback around here, maybe in Central Florida. And he’s going to continue to prove that. He has the best targets he’s ever had in his career. He’s never had kids like this to throw the ball to with Ajai Harrell, Man-Man (Clarence McCloud), James (Randle) and Jona than Williams.

Seabreeze High School’s new head swim coach, Samantha White Fabulich, brings the accolades of a natural-born swimmer and a fierce love for com petition to the Sandcrabs. The for mer assistant swim coach stepped into John Nunnelley’s position fol lowing his departure to Chowan University this summer. “I’m a very competitive person,” she said. “I really looked forward to the competitive side of sports. The practice was a little more tough for me. I would be that one (swimmer) that would frustrate the coaches because I would take off a summer, come back and be fine. As a coach, now I Fabulichunderstand.”wasborn and raised in Ormond Beach surrounded by a fam ily of athletes. Her father, Fred White, played football and ran track in col lege. Her mother, Melissa White, was the swimmer who got her started in the sport. Both parents were physi cal education teachers who went on to become principals. Participating in sports was a part of being in the White family. As a Seabreeze junior, Fabu lich won a state championship in the 100-yard breaststroke with a 1:04.36 and brought home a second in the 200-yard individual medley her senior year. She was offered a full scholarship to the Florida State University for swimming where she went to the ACC Championship all four years, garnering a first in the 200-yard medley relay in 1996 and a first in the100-yard breaststroke in 1997. During her first season as a Seminole, she placed first, seven times, in various events—the 200yard medley relay, 100-yard back stroke, 200-yard breaststroke and
Super swimmer, competitive coach the 50-yard freestyle, to name a few. Fabulich believes the start of a new season is the time to have her swim mers try all the strokes, even the ones they may not be familiar with or comfortable practicing. They have until mid-September to narrow it down then focus on their forte. “There has been some push-back but that’s okay,” she said. “I think some of these kids are going to be really good at other strokes. They just haven’t been given the chance.” This is a building year for the Sandcrabs following the 2021 season, when the boys were district cham pions and the girls were runner-up. Six boys have graduated since then, along with Clare Cassidy and Jordyn Eckert, who qualified to compete at the state championship for the girls team.“The six boys that graduated were strong swimmers, so it’s tough on our relays,” Fabulich said. “My son joined the team because we were low on boys. Sometimes when certain kids join, then other kids see them and join Helpingtoo.”with the influx of 10 to 15 freshmen and new swimmers at practice are three recent Seabreeze graduates who were on the swim team — Addie Hannapel, Brody Ochipa and Caleb Wooten. They have been assisting the newbies with their swimming technique and teaching them how to prepare mentally. “Swimming is difficult,” Fabulich said. “It’s mental. Once your head is down, you’re swimming against yourself. You have to be really focused and mentally driven to push through.”

Highly touted freshman Rylan Miller joins Matanzas volleyball team while senior Sydney Moses will return to the setter position.
t’s not every day that one of the top freshman volleyball players in the country walks into your gym. Rylan Miller didn’t just stop by. She’s the newest addition to the Matanzas High School varsity volleyball team. “We are really lucky,” said Dawn Moses, who is beginning her second stint as the Pirates’ head coach. Vballrecruiter.com ranks Miller as one of the top 100 players in the nation in the 2026 graduating class. The website listed Miller as one of the standouts at the libero position at June’s Under Armour Orlando Next Selection Camp. “Only the players going to the next level are invited to the Under Armour camp,” Moses said. Miller’s family moved to Palm Coast from Dallas, where she played for Texas Advantage Volleyball, one of the top clubs in the country. Now she is playing for another premier club team, OTVA Jacksonville, when she’s not playing for the Pirates. “I think we are going to be good,” Miller said during a Matanzas prac tice on Aug. 11. “I just want to win for the seniors. I want them to go out on a high, have a good last year.” Miller’s arrival allows senior Syd ney Moses, Dawn’s daughter, to move back to the setter’s position after playing a lot at libero last year. A fourth year starter, Sydney Moses enters her senior year with 1,103 career assists and 734 digs. “I like having (Rylan) at libero, because I know the ball’s always com ing to me,” Sydney Moses said. “It’s nice having a consistent passer.” Miller is more than a consistent passer. She is an athletic and skilled defensive player with exceptional court“Sheawareness.hasallthe basic skills down,” Coach Moses said. “She’ll be our pri mary passer. She’ll be on the court for all of our rotations, and she’ll serve for one of the middles.” Miller has always played libero, volleyball’s specialty position. Libe ros wear a different colored jersey and always line up in the back row. They receive most of the serves, making the first pass to start the offense. Being a good libero takes hard work and dis cipline, Miller said. “I’ve always been a passer. I just like the action. Being a part of everything is fun. Making plays is fun,” she said. “I like defense, keeping the ball off the floor. That’s my favorite part of it.” With Sydney Moses moving back to setter, versatile junior Senna Thayer will move to outside hitter. “It has a trickle-down effect,” Dawn Moses said. “On the other hand, they were willing to do what we asked of them last year.” Moses was the Pirates’ head coach in 2016 before taking over the Father Lopez program for two seasons. She was an assistant coach with Matan zas for the past three seasons and was named head coach after Julie Menendez stepped down after last season. Moses is also the Pirates’ beach volleyball head coach. Matanzas went 11-11 last season, and they lost senior outside hitter Emma Wood, who had 289 kills. “It will be hard to fill her shoes with how much she brought to the court,” Sydney Moses said. “Our hit ters are not as experienced, but with time, I think it will come to them. I’ve already seen a lot of improvement. “I think we’re going to have a good season,” she added. “This is my last high school season, and it’s fun but sad at the same time. It’s the last time I’ll be playing for the Pirates, but it’s going to be a great year because it’s the last time I’m going to be playing with all of these amazing girls.”
