City Commissioners approved a settlement in a slip-and-fall case at their Feb. 17 meeting, but it was a 3-to-2 vote after a debate on wheth-er the city should settle other simi-lar cases or go to court.
The city’s legal staff had reached a settlement amount of $30,000 in mediation, and recommended it to the commission.
The case involved a then 63-year-old woman who in 2010 was walk-ing on the wooden pier on the west side of the Granada Bridge and al-legedly slipped on a “black gooey area” consisting of “bird droppings, algae and fish scale.” Her claim said she sustained a left wrist injury which required surgery and physi-cal therapy, incurring approximate-ly $33,388 in medical expenses.
The claim says she still has pins in her hand and has lost dexterity. She sought recovery for econom-ic losses, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
The liability issues for a jury to consider at trial would be whether or not the city failed to exercise rea-sonable care to maintain the prem-ises in a reasonably safe condition.
In December, the commission ap-proved a settlement in the amount of $37,000 in a lawsuit that involved a fall on Seville Street when a wom-an allegedly tripped on pothole.
Florida Statutes limit the city’s damages to $100,000 to any one person, which is the amount de-manded in both cases.
Before the vote on Feb. 17, Mayor Ed Kelley questioned the settle-ment. He said people should accept responsibility for their own actions. The person had been going to the pier for four years, and should have known it was wet.
“When are we going to stand up and fight someone?” he continued. “I’m very sorry that the person is hurt. I do not believe there is any way we can make sure there is no water or slippery things on that dock.”
He said perhaps the city should

+ Painter donates art to Ormond Beach
A reproduction of a painting called, “South of Timacuan” was presented to the city of Ormond Beach by artist Barry Barnett at the recent City Commission meeting. Suzanne Heddy, executive director of the Ormond Beach Historical Society, told the commis-sioners that Barnett, who lived in Ormond Beach as a child, wanted to show appreciation for the city’s commitment to preserving history.
“It’s an honor to sup-port the Ormond Beach Historical Society,” he said.
The painting depicts an eagle trying to steal a fish from an osprey. Barnett will have a one-man show at the Anderson-Price Memorial Building Feb. 27 and 28.

St. James cuts debt with crafters’ help
Tara Dills and DB Pickles owner Pete Polzella are fight-ing cancer together. And both say that if it wasn’t for commu-nity support — and little bit a humor — they wouldn’t have made it this far.
Dills was originally diag-nosed with colon cancer three years ago at stage zero. Doc-tors congratulated her and said, “You are so lucky that we caught it so early.” Nine months later, she felt the pain of kidney stones out of no-where, and went back to the doctor early for her colonoso-copy. She was told the cancer

About 50 men and women of St. James Episcopal Church, 44 S. Halifax Drive, have formed a group to pay down the church’s debt, and they are planning an Arts and Crafts Fair for March 21 and 22 at the church.
The Rev. Ernest Bennett, interim rec-tor, said they have cut the debt in half in the past year, not only with their own efforts, but by inspiring oth-ers to donate. He said it’s similar to when a child has a lemon-ade stand, trying to raise money for char-ity. Others see the ef-fort, and say, “I can do something to help.”
“They have been a source of income and also a catalyst for very
good feelings about the church,” Bennett said.
The church found itself in debt when the school closed in 2013 after 50 years in the community.
“The future of the church was far from certain,” he said.
Called Friends of St. James, the group formed about a year ago to meet the fi-nancial challenges.
They have conducted several money-raising functions.

+ Police Department to hold ‘Soda Pop With A Cop’
The Ormond Beach Police Department hopes to build new relationships with the city’s lunch crowd. From noon to 3 p.m. Feb. 27 at Chick-fil-A, 1464 W. Granada Blvd., officers and citizens are given the chance to meet and discuss community issues. Chick-fil-A will provide free kids meals to the first 50 children at the Soda Pop with a Cop event. There will also be free soda pop beverages and iced coffee with no purchase necessary.
McGruff the Crime Dog will make an appearance to spread crime awareness and safety to the children.
Soda Pop with a Cop program was
developed to give parents with young children, working professionals, and any-one who is unable to participate in the Coffee with a Cop events in the mornings a chance to get to know their police offi-cers. Everyone is invited to attend and encouraged to ask questions and discuss issues. Participants can schedule a resi-dential or commercial security survey at no cost and set up a crime prevention presentation at their next HOA or Club meeting. Registration for the upcoming OBPD Citizen Police Academy class will also be available at this event.
The program’s goal is to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships and communica-tion.
Call Officer Jay Brennan with any ques-tions at 676-3526.
The department also hosts Coffee With A Cop from 8 to 10 a.m. at the following locations:
Feb. 26 at Einstein Bros Bagels, 110 S. Nova Road.
Mar. 26 at Cracker Barrel, 125 Interchange Blvd.

ORMOND FANS GET TO MEET DRIVER BEFORE THE BIG RACE
NASCAR driver David Gilliland was in town recently for the Daytona 500, but he’s no stranger to Ormond Beach. He said his two favorite restaurants on the NASCAR circuit are Peach Valley Cafe and Stonewoods Grill and Tavern.
A family friend was born in Ormond and they usually spend time here. “We run on the beach,” he said.
Gilliland, who drives the Love’s 38 Ford for FrontRow Motorsports, signed autographs and chatted with fans at the Ormond Beach location of Love’s Travel Stops on Feb. 21.
Holli Ridley, of Ormond Beach, said
she’s a lifelong fan of racing and enjoys meeting people in the business and get-ting to know their personalities.
“They’re just regular people,” she said.
Peggy Bame, of Palm Coast, said it’s always exciting to meet drivers, especially Gilliland. “I’ve been follow-ing David for the past three years,” she said.
The Daytona 500 is promoted as a special race, and Gilliland said it’s true. He had to miss the race one year because his car needed repairs, and he said it was “heartbreaking.”
Eight years ago, he won the pole for the 500, and he earned pole position in a July race last year at Daytona.

‘the hottest new thing’ By Wayne Grant | News Editor
Gourmet beef jerky shop opensCamouflage Dave’s Jerky and More: With use of marinades, it’s not your dad’s beef jerky.
After making jerky for friends and family for 30 years, Dave Porton hopes to take advantage of the surge in popularity of the meaty snack. He and his wife, Maria, recently opened Camou-flage Dave’s Beef Jerky and More, where they sell their own home-made brand along with other se-lections.
Jerky, the ancient method of preserving meat, has come into its own. An Internet search turns up several articles on how it’s the latest thing. Once only found in glass jars at gas stations, it’s now on the top shelf of food stores in a variety of flavors, as well as gourmet shops like Camouflage Dave’s.
“It’s the hottest new thing,” Maria Porton said.
Now, 52, Dave Porton started eating jerky when he was 14 years old. He said the brand he always bought went out of busi-ness, so he researched how it was made. He later learned to make marinades, so his jerky bursts with juice and flavor.
After he started to ride motor-cycles, he found it was the per-fect snack to take on a trip. His riding partners also liked it, and that got him thinking about sell-ing it one day.
His homemade jerky is called the Signature line, which in-cludes black pepper, teriyaki, barbecue and sweet heat. They also have some of their recipes produced by another company, offering habanera, jalapeno, whiskey, IPA beer, sweet and spicy, and more.
To make jerky, they first buy
top-quality sirloin. Then the pro-cess of cutting, marinating for 48 hours and drying takes a week.
“It’s a labor of love,” said his wife, who handles the sales and marketing for the store.
They also sell other brands, but all meat is from the USA. A wide range of sauces and dog treats are also available.
The available meats and fla-vors can be overwhelming, and Maria Porton said that’s where customer service plays an im-portant role. “I can explain the varieties and tell you what they taste like,” she said. “Sometimes I have samples.”
One reason for the popularity of jerky is that it’s all meat. She
said she ate it for the protein when she was a body builder.
Another intriguing thing about jerky is that “exotic” meats are available. She said kangaroo is currently the most popular, and python is also a top choice. Oth-er exotic meats include buffalo, venison and elk, and they are all farm-raised.
The Portons know they will have big crowds at their location during the motorcycle events, and hope to build up a local cus-tomer base for the rest of the year.
“The Rossmeyers have been wonderful,” she said. “They helped us get off the ground.”
The Portons knew each other 30 years ago in Columbia, Mary-
land, before they went their sep-arate ways. They got together, with the help of Facebook a year ago and were married within months. They then relocated to Ormond Beach where his moth-er retired in the late 1990s, and opened the store.
Dave Porton was an adjuster for Allstate for 18 years and now works at a local body shop, while also cooking jerky. Maria Porton minds the store during the day.
Camouflage Dave is a nick-name, because he has always worn a lot of camouflage clothes.
The store is open at 11 a.m. daily, is located next to Saint’s & Sinners Pub at 1637 N. U.S. 1. Call 256-3660.
+ France honored with statue
Halifax Health commemo-rated Betty Jane France’s commitment to the wellness of the community on Feb. 18 with the unveiling of a statue of her likeness in front of the France Tower at Halifax Health Medical Center.
Former Daytona Beach Mayor Glenn Ritchey and Halifax Health Foundation Executive Director Joe Petrock worked with community lead-ers to raise the funds for the statue to thank France for all she has done, especially in regard to women and chil-dren’s health care.
The statue was created by sculptor John Lajba who has sculpted Bill and Annie B. France, Bill France Jr., Dale Earnhardt, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and NBA All-Star Vince Carter.
In addition, Mike Helton, vice chairman of NASCAR, presented a check for $150,000 from the NASCAR Foundation to Halifax Health.
+ Enjoy a meal and support police
Mango Sun Café and Grill, 1185 W. Granada Blvd., will host a pasta dinner to support four Ormond Beach police offi-cers participating in the 2015 Police Unity Tour, a 250-mile bicycle ride to increase aware-ness of law enforcement offi-cers who have died in the line of duty. The dinner, 5-8 p.m. March 1, is being organized by the Congregation B’nai Torah Men’s Club. The cost is $10 per person, and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Police Unity Tour riders.
Tickets can be bought at the door or by contacting Capt. Jesse Godfrey at 566-1332 or Congregation B’nai Torah at 672-1174.
+ Tours of new hospice available
Halifax Health Hospice will celebrate the opening of its Ormond Beach Care Center at 235 Booth Road on Feb. 26 and 28.
The community will have the opportunity to tour the facility from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. on Feb. 26, with a ribbon-cutting and presenta-tion of colors at noon. A final event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Feb. 28. Refreshments will be served. Call 322-4701.
INBRIEF
Marie Halpin and Anna Ster-mensky cannot understand why anyone would want to stay home all day long. Volunteers for the Family Renew Community’s Se-cret Attic Thrift Shop, the ladies both agree that it’s their duty to donate their time.
“You finish work, you retire and then you go volunteer,” Halpin said. “I want to give back to my community, and I want to keep my sanity. We have a lot of people who come in here to shop who bring us cakes and tell us they ap-preciate how hard we work.”
Halpin originally started vol-unteering in New York as a grief counselor.
“I lost a daughter at 19, and I decided I do this ... for her,” Hal-pin said. “I thought this could be my little gift for her. I used to volunteer here one day a week, but my husband died so now I’m here three days a week.”
Stermensky volunteers two days at the thrift shop and one day at her church, Our Lady of Lords.
“It’s very healthy,” Halpin said. “Don’t sit home and mourn. Get out and get moving. When you volunteer, you meet the finest people in the world. The cream of the crop. The widows all say, ‘I’m so depressed. Come sit down and have a glass of wine with me in the evening.’ I tell them to get out and go volunteer. Don’t sit around drinking wine and being
depressed.” “My husband is boring,” Ster-
mensky said with a laugh. “He said it’s good that I go out.”
The two worker bees have more than just their love for volunteering in common. They both come from different coun-tries. Halpin moved to the Unit-ed States 58 years ago from Ire-land, and Stermensky moved 50 years ago from Slovakia.
“I came here for vacation and I forgot to go back,” Stermensky laughed.
Volusia Literacy CouncilBill and Carol Rice have been
donating their time to the Volu-
sia Literacy Council since 1999. It wasn’t until they witnessed the problem first-hand, that they made it their personal mission.
“My wife and I were at a church when we came across an adult who couldn’t read,” Bill Rice said. “We felt it to be a very worthwhile cause.”
Bill Rice said he and his wife never found the time to volun-teer when they were working full-time and raising their kids. He’s worked as a respiratory thera-pist since 1969, and he’s just now moving to a part-time position. But there isn’t much relaxing in his new-found free time.
“Through volunteering you get to meet different people,” he said. “You could be sitting in front of the TV wasteland all day. But this is something that helps the whole community.”
Being a volunteer tutor to adult students who dropped out of school has also been something that has helped Rice himself.
“I’m teaching them a lot of stuff from way back when,” he said. “My math, punctuation and spelling have gotten a lot better. You have to learn the stuff in order to teach it.”
Bill and Carol Rice have been married for 44 years, and decided to do the volunteering together. They enjoyed watching the suc-cess of some of their students.
“One passed his GED and an-other one has starting taking his
GED,” Bill Rice said. “We’ve been doing this together for a while, and we’re going to continue with the Volusia Literacy Council in-definitely.”
Get InvolvedVolunteers For Community
Impact recently announced its first Volunteer Fest. Held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Lakeside Community Center in Port Orange, the family friendly event showcases the many dif-ferent volunteer opportunities available in Volusia County.
The event includes music, Zumba, food, activities for chil-dren, and door prizes. Attend-ees will have the opportunity to peruse volunteer opportunities available with various local non-profits and businesses.
“We have 100 nonprofits match volunteers with,” Director of Development and Marketing Richard Paul said. “Giving back to the community is a win-win. When people reach out and help others, they are really helping themselves.”
In the past years, VCI volun-teers have given 356,123 hours of service to the Central Florida community, which is more than $8 million worth of time. Call 407-298-4180 or email [email protected].
The city of Ormond Beach also offers volunteer-matching ser-vices to residents. Call 676-3324.

ago, with the Friends meeting twice a week to create crafts.
“It’s such fun,” Dodson said. “We have more laughs. Besides raising money, we’re making friends.” She said people who go to the 8 a.m. service are getting to know the people who go to the 10 a.m. service.
In addition to their own crafts, ven-dors from as far away as North Carolina and Georgia are going to be selling their wares, she said.
Last year they had a rummage sale, fish fry and a holiday tea, which were all very successful, said Ruth Dodson, chairwoman of Friends.
The holiday tea was held at Oceanside Country Club in November and includ-ed tips on home decorating. “We had such a good turnout,” she said.
Bennett said one reason for the debt is that when the school was operating, not enough attention was paid to income and expenses.
“That’s something you have to watch
in any business,” he said.Dropping enrollment was also part of
the problem. In the summer before the school
closed completely, the church closed the middle school in a cost-cutting measure. Bennett said he believes that caused further loss of enrollment in the grade school, because some parents lost confidence in the stability of the school.
He said the Friends of St. James has been a great benefit.
“It’s a wonderful thing to see,” he said one morning in the craft room, where people were getting busy. “They are here to serve and benefit the parish.”

take a stand of not settling and send a message to those in the future.
Commissioner Troy Kent supported the mayor. “How many times have you heard me say the exact same thing?” he asked.
City attorney Randy Hayes said the legal staff would prepare the case for trial if that is what the commission desired, but said the amount is worth considering. “It’s the upper limit of what we’d be comfortable with,” he said.
He said the expenses incurred by the plaintiff often drive the amount of the settlement.
Kelley said he once hired a lawyer to fight a speeding ticket in California be-cause he was not guilty, and he won.
“I’d rather spend $500 and win if I’m right than pay $150 for a ticket I didn’t de-serve,” he said. “But that’s just me.”
Commissioner Rick Boehm said he was involved in that type of litigation for 34 years before he retired as an attorney.
He told the mayor that as a matter of policy, he had an excellent argument, but he pointed out that Florida is a compara-tive negligence state. He said the jury can decide how much each party is at fault and award damages accordingly.
For example, if the damages are $75,000, and the jury decides both are at fault, the plaintiff could be awarded half, or $37,500.
He said the jury could feel sympathetic toward the plaintiff and decide to “give her something.” Also, he said, if the jury didn’t like the city’s presentation, they could award as much as 100% of the claim.
He pointed out after that the plaintiff pays the lawyer, and any health insurance lien, they will not receive much money. There is a $10,000 health insurance lien on the settlement.
Kelley said he had made his point. “I don’t think it’s fair and right that peo-
ple have a slip and fall in an area where they travel and you the citizens have to pay for it,” he said to the audience.
The commission voted to approve the settlement, with Kelley and Kent voting no.

had moved to her liver, and she was now at stage four.
“No rhyme or reason,” said Dills, mother of three boys and one girl. “I’m like one in 10,000. The worst part was going to sit with the liver doctor who told me I had five years to live. My daughter was 10. I was a basket case.”
Through her full-time job fighting not only the cancer, but hospital in-fections, five surgeries chemothera-py reactions, foreclosure and trying to be a functioning member of her family, Dills also held a part-time job as a hostess for DB Pickles in Or-mond Beach.
“I walked into DB Pickles with my daughter in tow,” Dills said. “Pete was watching me on the camera I later found out, and liked me. Hired me on the spot, and I started the next day.”
Dills found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be another shoul-der she could lean on. Customers and fellow employees were always checking up on her.
“Pete was so awesome,” Dills said. “I had never worked at a restaurant before, ever. So it took a while, but I loved it. I’m a people person. One of the customers friended me on Facebook. Some of them ask the waitresses. ‘Where’s Tara? How is she doing?’”
Dills didn’t make Polzella aware of her condition when she was first hired. At the same time, Polzella had been diagnosed with stage four of a rare form of bone cancer called Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. The former Air Force veteran and retired law enforcement officer al-ways managed to stay healthy, and the fact that he was only 50 when the cancer began came as quite a shock.
“I had the cancer for seven years before I was diagnosed,” Polzella said. “My symptoms were simple, and it took them a couple of months
to find it. It’s a rare cancer. Only 1,500 cases worldwide have been re-ported. There were a lot of tears and a lot of fear.”
“I revealed my condition to him when I found out the cancer was in my lungs, and I had to quit,” Dills said. “That’s when we bonded, when he found out. He told me his story, and totally understood. He gave me a month off. After I walked up to him in the parking lot, and he said, ‘No, you’re taking an-other week.’ He wouldn’t let me come back to work.”
Eventually Tara had to quit when she found out she had to do an-other round of chemo-therapy. She was recently told she was in remission, and has an-other offi-cial checkup date in April. Though she would like to return to work one day, she is focusing on getting healthy and taking care of her children. Her two sons will be in orchestra and band this year at Mainland High School. One of her sons, Jonathan, was accepted into Cannon Music Camp for the summer. She’s current-ly raising money to send him there, and of course, Polzella has already donated.
“It is by no means a charity case,” Polzella said. “You gotta take people for what they are. She was honest. She did her job until she couldn’t anymore.”
Polzella said Dills isn’t the only cancer fighter he’s come across in his dining hall. Among the 400 daily
customers, there’s always someone who has fought cancer, is currently fighting or lost someone close to it.
“I think there’s sort of a camara-derie between people with cancer,” Polzella said. “I don’t think people realize how much it plays on your head all the time. It’s a plague.”
Though he was in remission for a year and a half, Polzella said that eventually, his number started to slowly rise. There is no cure yet for
his type of cancer, and he said people can live anywhere from five to 20 years with it.
“All you can do is keep it at bay, and know what you’re fighting,” Polzella said. “To be a good business owner, you need to be good stewards in your com-munity. You can’t just take, you have to give back. I’m by no means a saint, but I was raised a certain way, and I don’t compare my-self to some of these people that I meet. I lost three friends in two-and-a-half years. I count my blessings no
matter what and take it as it comes. Tara is a strong woman, I pray for her and hope she can get through this.”
“All of a sudden, life takes on a dif-ferent perspective,” Dills said. “Peo-ple take sunrises for granted. This cancer won’t win because I’m not a quitter. What I hate is what the kids have been through. They were in to-tal fear of losing their mom, and still are. But I think God is behind this. He gave me that kidney stone when I wasn’t going to the doctor. He forced me too.”

CANCER / FROM PAGE 1
A suspected bank rob-ber was arrested within minutes after he ran out of a bank about 4 p.m. Feb. 19 after a failed attempt, according to an Ormond Beach Police Department spokesman.
A teller said the sus-pect was alone and en-tered the Suntrust Bank, 160 N. Nova Road, and demanded money. She said he implied he was armed, and had a beard, sun glasses and hat and a black-hooded sweatshirt according to the report.
Apparently, the suspect became impatient while waiting for the teller and fled before getting any money. He has been iden-tified by police as Mat-thew William Semione, 26.
A Volusia deputy in an unmarked car saw a man matching the descrip-tion running out of the bank and driving off in his white Ford pickup truck with a law enforcement logo on the sides and rear. He called on his radio to say that he was following the suspect.
Meanwhile, Ormond Beach police were re-sponding to a silent alarm at the bank. Using infor-mation supplied by the deputy, the officers and
sheriff’s deputies stopped the suspect at the inter-section of West Granada Boulevard and Orchard Avenue without pursuit.
The suspect was re-moved from the truck and placed in handcuffs. He had a crumpled up piece of paper, which he threw on the ground. It was found to be the hold-up note. He had a large foldup knife in his pants pocket.
In a post-Miranda inter-view, the suspect admit-ted to passing the note at the bank, according to po-lice. He said he had been struggling with money and had a girlfriend and a baby on the way.
Inside the truck, the police found a hat, black-hooded sweatshirt, sun-glasses and a pad of pa-per matching the holdup note.
A teller was transport-ed to the scene, and she identified the suspect.
The investigating of-ficers found that the sus-pect borrowed the truck from his employer. A per-son from the company ar-rived and took custody of the truck.
The suspect was trans-ported to Volusia County Branch Jail without inci-dent.

Personally, I don’t consider Ormond Beach a small town. I mean, once you’ve
driven from Tomoka State Park to Destina-tion Daytona, every-thing pretty much feels a million miles away. The 20-minute traffic lights don’t help either, but we’ll save that for another column.
Even though Or-mond isn’t small in size, there aren’t many strangers. In this beach town, it seems like ev-erybody is connected in some way. Whether
I’m interviewing someone or just buying groceries, I always discover a new twist in the Ormond Beach social circle. My cur-rent favorite connection is Ed Kelley and Taylor Swift. His famous son, Brian Kelley, was on stage with Swift during the New Year’s Eve show. I don’t think anyone’s go-ing to beat that anytime soon.
A recent trip to Starbucks just validated the “Cheers”-like atmosphere that inhab-its this town.
There’s a colorful carousel of people that come through Starbucks Coffee on West Granada Boulevard. Even on a Mon-day afternoon, where the majority of nine-to-fivers are simply stopping in for their lunch break, nobody is in a rush to leave. Oh, and almost everybody greets the barista by her first name, which I think is Sharon.
One woman walks in smiling with her baby, whom she immediately shows off
to the barista who might be Sharon. They chat about daycare and coffee until the smiley mom hops in line for her after-noon pickup. It seems as if every other person who comes through this establish-ment knows someone behind the coun-ter. Hugs and high-pitched “hellos” are exchanged as frequently as credit cards and cappuccinos.
One man feels so comfortable, he leaves his laptop unguarded for at least a half hour while he makes a milk run for the barista.
Due to the slight change in sunny weather, there are an unusual amount of people in bathing suits at Starbucks. Their hair drips from the salt water, caus-ing small puddles on the floor that are soon labeled with a yellow caution sign. In the store at the same time is a woman with pink flip flops, wet hair and a tye-dye beach coverup and a blonde woman with
business pants and a heavy white coat. The contrast of Florida’s current weather patterns can be visibly seen inside an Or-mond Starbucks. I’ve only been sitting at my computer pretending to work for half hour, and I’ve already witnessed so much.
My short travels and story assignments this week all seem to have a theme: com-munity involvement. Whether it’s dedi-cating a few days of your week to working at a community thrift store (see page 3), helping out an employee who was diag-nosed with cancer (see page 1) or simply getting to know the name of your barista, giving back does so much for a town — and ourselves — than we realize.
DB Pickles Owner Pete Polzella said it perfectly in an interview we had this week: “If we’re not using our time to help other people, shame on us.”

Where everybody knows your nameNo matter where you are in Ormond Beach, you can always find a friendly face.
BREAKING NEWS: THE YARN-BOMBER HAS BEEN NAMED! The great mystery of Ormond Beach has finally been solved! Joyce Inderkum took
credit for the scarf wrapped around the alligator statue at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum when she made the following comment on the story online:
“I actually had bombed the whole area before the holidays, and all I know still remains are the Christmas scarves on the Fireman’s statue on A1A and the scarves on the Captain Hook and Davey Jones at Pirates Cove Miniature Golf on A1A. I bombed all over, including the ballpark, and that whole park area there along the river. I was only met with one objection, and that was when I tried to tie a scarf on the octopus at Ocean Walk, the security guard told me if I left it there he would have to take it down. It was a fabulous experience, I loved it and plan to do it again next holiday. I know Tammy at Sweet Marlay’s in Daytona has been trying to get a Yarn Bombing Squad going…..Textilers, UNITE! I am thrilled to have found out about this article, a friend alerted me. I hope the scarf is still there. Glad to know my vandalism was seen as art instead of destruction.”
Churches of many different denominations spoke of the same topic in their sermons this week: the season of Lent.
Held from Feb. 18 to April 2, Lent is commonly observed by Catholics through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Father Thomas Barrett, pastor of St. Brendan’s Catholic Church, has noticed an increase of 50% in attendance for daily Masses.
“Some families have a bowl at dinner where they collect money to be donated to a wor-thy cause,” said. “I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this, but when you turn on the TV, everyone is capitalized on the Catholic’s food. We don’t eat meat on Fridays, so you see all kinds of seafood specials try-ing to entice us. We have our
Lenten Soup events to keep into the spirit of the season.”
He also said he thinks Or-mond Beach is one of the areas where the celebration of Lent is seen more than normal.
“We have a lot of snowbirds here,” Barrett said. “We have them coming to our Lent ser-vices because it’s something they grew up with.”
The snowbirds have plenty of options of Lent services this year. Tomoka United Method-ist is also observing the 40-day season.
“The season of Lent is be-come more and more observed in the Protestant churches,” Tomoka United Methodist Pastor Kandace Brooks said. “It used to be associated with only Roman Catholic church-es. I think in general Lent is
becoming more observed. You see people who are not churchgoers who observe. That’s very different. I think it has become so engraved in our culture. Maybe they’re not connected to a traditional church, but they are connect-ed to the practices and the rhythm of the church.”
At TUM, Brooks said, “I try to empathize the traditional giving something up or fast-ing for something, but not just candy or coffee. I try to suggest giving up bad habits like being impatient or too much com-puter time. I think the even more important aspect of it is picking something up. Do-ing some additional volunteer work or having more prayer time. Things that not only get you more attuned to the pres-
ent moment, but more con-nected with God. Sometimes that’s through service and oth-er people.”
Father Bill Zamborsky, of Prince of Peace Catholic Church, said he’s not surprised that people think Lent has ex-panded to other churches, be-cause it used to be practiced by all Christians.
“If you go back 2,000 years there was only one Christian church,” Zamborsky said. “Christians developed this li-turgical cycle, and that was rooted in all Christianity. I think some Christians got away from that and are now rediscovering their roots.”
He also said that it is really up to people practicing the Lent disciplines at home to re-ally observe the season.

Partington warns of FEMA changesCity Commissioner Bill Partington
and South Daytona Vice-Mayor Brandon Young attended the 2015 FAST Fly-in in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 10 and 11 on behalf of Volusia County. The Fly-in is a federal advocacy trip where attendees meet with their congressional delegation
to discuss key federal issues.Partington and Young met with Sen. Bill
Nelson and staff from the offices of Rep. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Marco Rubio and Rep. John Mica.
Topics included long-term transporta-tion planning and funding; tax reform threatening the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds which are used to fund local infrastructure projects; and FEMA funding for disaster relief.
At the Feb. 17 City Commission meet-ing, Partington said FEMA has “defund-ed” some projects in the state. For ex-ample, Naples was promised $30 million during the 2004 hurricanes, and then 10 years later FEMA said $9 million should be refunded.
“This has not happened to us, but, be-cause of where we live, it could happen,” Partington said.

The City Commission will hear a re-quest at a future meeting to amend city codes to allow a business in which cus-tomers sip beer or wine while learning to paint. The city’s Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval to the commission at the Feb. 12 meeting.
Krista Goodrich, president of Master-piece Mixers, wants to start a business in which groups of friends create a paint-ing with the help of an instructor. They would bring their own beer or wine.
“The concept is that it’s a night out for women,” said Goodrich. “It’s just some-thing fun to do.” She said most of her customers tend to be women. She has 10 franchises, but she would operate the one in Ormond Beach. A resident of Georgia, she recently bought a house on the beachside here.
The city Planning Department struc-tured the proposed change in the code so that the usage would only be allowed in the downtown area.
“This is where the city wants to have unique uses,” said Senior Planner Steve Spraker. “This is where we want people to come.”
Goodrich said it would be similar to friends enjoying wine while playing cards.
Board member Lori Tolland said she thought it was a cool concept. “It’s a lot of fun and would add to the downtown area,” she said.
The owner has a planned location at 154 W. Granada Blvd. and would be a tenant of the Highlander Corp., which is
owned by Bill Jones who has renovated several properties in the city.
“We are thrilled,” said Dorian Burt, as-sistant to Jones.
Last year, a similar operation, called Painting with a Twist, came before city officials for discussion. However, the owner did not pursue the request and started the business on International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach.
The amendments to the code that would allow the Masterpiece Mixers business are tentatively scheduled for a first reading by the City Commission on March 17.
Rezoning and Annie Oakley’s SaloonIn other action, the board recom-
mended that the City Commission ap-prove zoning changes along North U.S. 1 to help finalize the Interlocal Agreement with Volusia County. County zoning will be replaced with city zoning along the corridor.
Becky Weedo, senior planner, said they used city codes that were most similar to the county codes that were in place. She said there is a business that is now nonconforming to code, Annie Oakley’s Saloon. The area is zoned is for restau-rants, and requires 51% food service.
At the board meeting, the owner of the Annie Oakley’s Saloon asked if she can continue her business, even though she was now nonconforming. She was ad-vised that she can continue operating as before.

Feb. 17Inside job
10:30 p.m. — 1600 Block of North U.S. 1. Fraud. The motel clerk said four guests had said they had received calls from the front desk, but she said the calls were not from the front desk. Also, the calls could not have come from outside the motel, because outside calls come through the front desk and she did not have any incoming calls.
The caller had to be a guest at the motel. To call room to room, it is only necessary to dial the room number, and there is no caller ID. All calls were received 9-10 p.m.
A guest said she received a call from someone who identified them-selves as Allen Jones. He said he was the general manager of the motel and had done a computer upgrade. He said all of her information was lost, so he needed her name, address, phone number, credit or debit card number and how many night she was staying. She said she gave him her name and last four digits of her debit card and nothing else. She became concerned and called police.
Another guest was contacted, and he said he only gave his name when he re-ceived the call. He told the person he would not give out the other information over the phone. He then went to the front desk to tell what happened.
Two other guests said they were also called. None of the guests would sign a witness statement. They said they did not want to pursue anything further.
Feb. 18Burglar finds slim pickings
12:28 p.m. — First Block of South Ridgewood Avenue. Burglary. The victim was called by a lawn spray technician, who said that it appeared as if someone
attempted a burglary at their residence. He had noticed damage to the house. The victim then called police.
Upon arrival, the officer noticed that three jalousie window panes had been removed, and the plastic screen had been pushed in on the side of the house.
The rear porch door was open. A jal-ousie pane had been removed from the door, and the window screen was cut, which appeared to allow the suspect to unlock the door. The sliding glass door to the house was also open.
Several closets and drawers were open, but nothing appeared to be out of place. The officer contacted the victim by phone and he said there was nothing of value in the house.
Fingerprints were taken from the slid-ing glass door and a wine bottle in the kitchen. The victim said he would arrange for someone to make repairs to the house.

Feb. 17Smokin’ in the school bus
11:02 a.m. — 100 Block of East Granada Boulevard. Burglary of Con-veyance. The victim said she went to
the company bus at the private school that morning and found one of the doors open. When she
went inside the bus, she noticed a faint smell of marijuana. The officer saw ash-
es on the floor. There was no damage. The
victim said it was pos-sible for someone to pull the folding doors out from the bot-
tom far enough so that a small person could slip inside.

While the Sandcrabs didn’t do well as a team, Seabreeze weightlifter Justin Browder won the 119-pound weightlift-ing division against Flagler Palm Coast,
New Smyrna and Spruce Creek Thurs-day, Feb. 19, at FPC.
“During my last lift, my buddy Cameron (Mitch-ener) was yelling ‘Come on, Justin,’ which gave me an adrenaline kick that helped me get the 195-pound clean and jerk,” Browder said. “When I saw the three white lights, I yelled,
‘Yeah!’ and fist bumped Cameron and the rest of my team.”
Browder, a senior, made it as far as the sub-sectionals in his sophomore year, and he sat out all his junior season with an injury. After a full recovery, Browder says that he’s used his time wisely and has trained well for this year to make it to the state finals.
GAME TIMEJeff Dawsey | Sports Writer
Crabs get a winner in weightlifting
Volusia/Flagler seniors put on show in all-star gameIn its inaugural year, the Flagler/Volusia Senior All-Star game goes down to the wire.
last shot By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer
Rich Weber, the Flagler/Volusia Se-nior All-Star game’s event organizer and Matanzas soccer coach, walked off the pitch happy for all the seniors who partic-ipated in the event and who got to show-case their skills for the last time in their high school uniforms Friday, Feb. 20, at the Indian Trails Sports Complex.
“I expected it to be good, and it far ex-ceeded my expectations,” Weber said. “The level of play was good. Sometimes, when you get a lot of players in different areas, they don’t play the same styles, but it came together really quick.”
The Dark Uniforms beat the White Uni-forms in a high-scoring 5-4 exhibition that was decided in the last five minutes.
Flagler Palm Coast’s Nate Monsanto put Dark on the board first with a goal in the first five minutes of the match. The Whites quickly responded with a goal by Taylor’s Christian Ramirez, but the Dark Uniforms led at halftime 4-1, after University’s Asair Casas, Spruce Creek’s Liam Tate and FPC’s Robby Ferguson netted goals.
Coming out of the half, the White Uni-forms stormed back to tie the game at 4-4, with three goals of the own from Spruce Creek’s Dylan Villalobos, DeLand’s Nate Bodger and Seabreeze’s Brooks Davis, who scored the goal of the night with a volley on a half turn.
“It was beautiful,” said Davis about his goal that excited everyone. “I was think-ing, ‘This is it. This is the all-star game, my last game as a high school player,’ so I just ripped it. It was definitely the best goal I’ve ever scored.” Davis also mentioned how special this year was for him because the Sandcrabs were successful in Robert Wallace’s last year as Seabreeze’s princi-pal.
In the waning minutes of the sec-ond half, all the players on the sidelines
thought they’d see more action because, had the game finished 4-4 at the end of regulation, penalty kicks would’ve decid-ed the outcome, but Tate was able to find the back of the net a second time to give
the Dark Uniforms the victory.“Both teams played really well, and it
was fun,” said Mainland’s Zach Van Heu-sen. “They picked the coldest day, but it was definitely well worth it. They should continue with the game.”
Father Lopez head coach Jon Kinsler, who was on the White Uniforms’ coach-ing staff, said, “I think it was very benefi-cial overall. A lot of the kids play as rivals, but they got to play as teammates, which made for a good game, and some of the players who play on the same team were split up, and it was fun for them to com-pete against each other.”
“I think it’s good exposure for kids who aren’t sure they want to play in college or not,” Kinsler added. “If we can get some more coaches out there and watch, may-be they can get noticed and further their playing careers.”
Players from Ormond Beach included Zach Van Heusen from Mainland; Alex Orlolani, Edwin Fuentes, Jacob Espittia and Brooks Davis from Seabreeze; Collins Maude, Doug Abate, Carlos Metcalf and Matt Lafleur from Father Lopez.
The coaches talked about making the event a double header with boys’ and girls’ all-star games going forward.

The Seabreeze Sand-crabs (4-1) routed the Matanzas Pirates 11-1 Tuesday, Feb, 24, at Matanzas.
The Sandcrabs began the game batting in four runs in the opening in-ning and never looked back. After giving up a run on an error in the third, Seabreeze added six more runs in the top of the fourth to put the game out of reach.
Meredith McGarity went 3-for-4 along with two walks, and Sammi Poehlman went 2-for-3 and two RBI.
Sophomore pitcher Marlana Sutton allowed just four hits and no runs.
“I thought it was a
pretty solid win for us,” coach Tarisa Craig-Craggy said. “We’re hit-ting the ball really well right now, and I feel like
we can play with any-one right now, so we just have to keep swing-ing.”
The Lady Sandcrabs will next play Pine Ridge Thursday, Feb. 26, at Pine Ridge.

Tomoka Elementary students get a lesson in local careersThe school welcomed 25 speakers for its annual Career Day event.
Breaking news: If you want to be a cop, math is really important.
At Tomoka Elementary School’s annual Career Day, students discovered how the academic lessons they were learning in class translated into different types of jobs — making the school work that much cooler.
After discussing foot-prints, blood splatter and DNA evidence, Ormond Beach Police Detective Tom Larsen told Jim Ra-vede’s fifth-grade class how the things he learned in school came in handy when he was on patrol.
“Before I was a detec-tive, I worked in traffic homicide, which is really bad car accidents,” Larsen said. “I was amazed at how much of that was math and algebra, when you’re
trying to determine fac-tors, angles of the road and figure out speeds.”
Larsen was just one of the 25 local community members asked to partici-pate in Career Day. School Counselor Jewel Johnson said they had many career covered, from insurance agents to photographers to lawyers.
“I’m really happy with this year, because we have such a variety,” Johnson said. “We’re trying to help the kids to see how care to education plays into career. The speakers are talking a lot about why it’s important to be responsi-ble and respectful in their particular careers.”
Larsen and his partner, Detective Tara Kist, had the classroom captivated while they spoke about the different things they’ve had to do on the job, and the skills from school they’ve used daily.
“It’s important to pay attention to your teach-ers,” Larsen said. “When I go write my report, I’m amazed when I reach 3,000 or 4,000 words. I realize this is why I paid atten-tion in school. Every job will have you incorporate the skills you learn here, no matter what profession you take.”

Detectives from the Ormond Beach Police Department taught students what it takes to be a cop.
Michael Jones looks on as his teacher, Jim Ravede, lifts a fin-gerprint with the help of Detective Tara Kist.
Detective Tom Larsen let Catie Todd try on his bal-listics vest.
WHAT CAN STUDENTS LEARN FROM YOUR JOB?“I try to let them know that they need to find some-
thing they really love to do. I can explain to them why I love what I do, why I do that, so they can find their careers. It’s the most important thing.”— Dr. David Ramshaw, of Surgical Associates of Volusia
“Character. Good character, good reputation and impartiality. They need to see that women can do the same thing that everybody else can do. You’re not confined by your looks or your height. Just study hard and you can be anything you want to be.”
— Dawn Fields, Volusia County Court Judge
“I want them to know that insurance is something that everybody needs, and that it can be fun. You build lifelong careers selling insurance, and you get to help people.”
— Valerie French, insurance agent
“I try to reinforce the fact that a good education is the key to any career. It’s the most important thing. You have to have good grades to get to the next level.
— Michael Politis, attorney
“I think it shows them that there are a lot of different careers out there. They have a lot of choices that they can choose from.” — Sharon McCrary, dentist at Smile Family
Dentistry
