Ormond Beach Observer 11-20-14

The United Way of Volusia-Fla-gler Counties released a report Nov. 11 that stated 47% of Volu-sia and 42% of Flagler households struggle to afford the basics. This is a combination of those living in poverty and the 68,000 who live under guidelines of what it calls ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Con-strained, Employed). ALICE house-holds earn more than the official U.S. poverty level, but less than the basic cost of living.

This means there are 107,000 households in the two counties unable to afford the state’s cost of living, with conditions still lagging behind pre-recession levels.

The report was compiled by Rut-gers University and was commis-sioned by United Way agencies in six states.

“We all know ALICE,” said United Way President Ray Salazar. “ALICE is the recent college graduate un-able to afford to live on his or her own, the young family strapped by child-care costs and the mid-career professional now underem-ployed. These folks are vital to our state’s future economic well-being, and they face barriers beyond their control frustrating their ability to become financially stable.”

The report contains a House-hold Survival Budget, or how much would be needed for the basic ne-cessities of living. For a four-person family living in Florida, the survival budget is $47,484, an increase of 14% from the start of the Great

+ Ormond resident wins TV contest

Donna Paraggio, an Ormond Beach resident, was announced Nov. 14 as the first weekly winner of the “#liveAOK” on “LIVE with Kelly and Michael.” The contest was started to reward and celebrate those with a generous spirit.

Paraggio was awarded because she paid a grocery store balance for a young mother who came up short at the register.

The show, hosted by Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, will have five weekly winners who will be awarded $500 cash and a year’s supply of EXTRA Gum.

+ Mayor recognizes anti-bully advocate

Recognizing October as “National Bullying Prevention Month,” Mayor Ed Kelley presented a proclamation to Jacqueline Waters to make anti-bully-ing a priority. Announced Oct. 21, the proclamation outlines a set of principles modeling a strong stance against harassment, bully-ing and abuse.

Waters is the Founder and CEO of the anti-bullying nonprofit, “U” Niquely “U” Inc. She has been recog-nized for having a shared objective with Ormond Beach.

ORMOND BEACH

PRISON PUPS ’N’ PALS GIVES TO VETERANS

City Commissioner Troy Kent remembers running around the Memorial Gardens when he was just 5 years old — and Janett Van Wicklen-Taylor was there.

Almost four decades later, Wicklen-Taylor is being honored for her years of service

to the city of Ormond Beach. The museum’s new greenhouse was dedicated to her on Nov. 14.

At the ceremony, Kent spoke about his memories in the gar-den.

“I remember having picnics with my mom, and running through

the gardens,” Kent said. “It really is a spe-cial place.”

The greenhouse had been decaying and unused for 10 years, when the Garden Club of the Halifax Country, led by Lori Tolland, decided it needed an upgrade. The club partnered with the

city of Ormond Beach, A-Certified Screens, Austin Outdoor, Ann and Locke Burt, and Giles Electric to com-plete this project that should have cost the city around $40,000. According to Direc-tor of Leisure Services

Larry Ankeny, of Ormond Beach, a U.S. Army, Vietnam War veteran, said he needed someone to talk to when his wife is at wor. He needed a friend, a buddy.

He recently found one through Paws of Freedom, a program that matches dogs with veterans, most of whom have post-trau-matic stress disorder.

“He calms me

down,” Ankeny said.Ankeny’s psychia-

He said he decid-ed on his dog, Cody, when the dog leaned hard against him.

Evan Carabello moved to the beautiful beaches of Ormond several months ago when he realized he wanted a more personal relationship with his clients. Evan started his financial advisory career shortly after graduating from Western New England University, with a B.S. in Finance. Evan joined the Edward Jones home office in St. Louis, Missouri where he managed over ten outlying branches. Why Ormond? Evan wanted a more personal relationship with his clients, and to live in a nice community where he can one day start a family.

I understand everyone’s economic and life situations are unique, and I keep that in the front of my mind when providing financial security advice.

Evan transferred to the Ormond Beach office to work with Senior Branch Office Administrator, Linda Bickmeyer.

OrmondBeachObserver.com 3 ORMOND BEACH OBSERVERTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2014

Felicia Caruso was busy on her first day on the job Nov. 17 as membership sales direc-

tor at the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce. She was already talking to mem-bers about net-working and oth-er advantages of belonging to the chamber.

“It feels good to get back into it,” she said. “I’m starting to put a plan together and get organized.”

She’s starting a job she knows a lot about. She was membership director 2007-2011 and has remained active in the chamber while working as a real estate agent.

“I believe 100% in the cham-ber,” she said.

She’s been an ambassador for the chamber and worked on leads groups and after-hours events.

Caruso’s job is to make sure members know about leads groups and other advantages to belonging to the chamber, such as an arrangement with Office Depot. Members can shop online and get discounts for such things as printing and office supplies.

She said a lot of people call the chamber and say they are looking for business.

“People see businesses that belong to the chamber as in-volved with the community and tend to trust them,” Ca-ruso said.

She also emphasizes the chamber’s events, commit-tees, and other opportunities to “get out and shake hands and get the word out.”

“A lot of people just don’t understand how to utilize the chamber,” she said. “I’ve been a part of the chamber and also a business that has utilized it.”

She said coming back to work for the chamber is ap-pealing because of having Rick Fraser as executive director, as well as the staff.

Fraser said getting new members, and retaining exist-ing members, is extremely im-portant for the chamber.

“Felicia brings a wealth of knowledge about our chamber, and will be totally dedicated to providing value-added services

to our members,” he said.Bill Navarra, of Realty Pros

Assured, incoming president of the chamber, said the No. 1 priority next year will be to increase membership. He said they are looking at ways of increasing benefits for mem-bers, such as revamping the Economic Prosperity Hour.

“This year it was phenom-enal,” he said. “Next year it’s going to be much larger.”

He’s also looking forward to Caruso in her new role.

Caruso has spent the last 23 years in the Daytona Beach area. She has two daughters and was most recently a Real-tor with Sotheby’s Realty.

She replaces Rachel Bendix at the chamber, who relocated to the Florida Panhandle area.

City seeks Learning Center ideasA small but very interested

group of people showed up at The Casements on Nov. 12 to learn about plans and provide input for the Environmental Learning Center to be con-structed at Central Park.

“I’ve never heard of a city trying to get feedback before something is built,” said Joanna McKasy, who moved to the area from Wisconsin a few years ago.

In addition to opinions, the city is also seeking volunteers from the community to help plan and run programming for the center.

“I’m in, totally,” McKasy said. A former science teacher with a major in biology, McK-asy said she would like to see a center that fosters a bonding with the outdoors as well as learning.

At the presentation, attendees had the opportunity to fill out a questionnaire to indicate what they would like to see at the center. Those who did not attend can find the presentation on the city’s website, and submit the questionnaire.

In addition to opinions, the city is seeking involvement.

“I’m looking for a dedicated group of volunteers who want to come in and teach programs,” said Maryann Zeledon, recreation programming specialist for the city. “But we don’t

want volunteers to feel overwhelmed.”

People will be able to see exhibits at the center, even when no programming is scheduled, according to Leisure Services Director Robert Carolin. He said the city will partner with the Florida Fish and Wildlife. Zeledon said the Museum of Arts and Science, which is interested in having outdoor astrology

programs. There is too much “light pollution” at their location in Daytona Beach.

Noble said the 2,000-square-foot building should be complete by the end of 2015. Half of the $800,000 building expense will be paid by an ECHO grant.

The architect is Mark Dowst & Assoc. Inc. and the AM Wei-gel Construction Inc. will be the construction manager.

The new Enviornmental Learning Center should be complete by the end of 2015.

+ City Commissioners to continue work together

The new City Commission, contain-ing the same members as the old City Commission, was sworn in at City Hall on Nov. 18. Only Zone 2 Commissioner Troy Kent, who won against Dann Dragone, was challenged in the fall election. All of the commission terms will end in two years, so they can be challenged in the 2016 election.

Commission terms have not always been two years.

“It’s been all over the board,” said City Manager Joyce Shanahan. “Two-year terms, four years, six years.”

The term length is determined by the city charter, and city voters set the term limits at two years several years ago.

Having the officials all face election in the same year leaves the possibility of a major turnover in any election, but City Attorney Randy Hayes said the city manager is charged with running day-to-day operations.

“There would be continuity,” he said.Commissioner Rick Boehm said

an advantage to having commission-ers retain their seats is they can fol-low through on projects, such as the Environmental Learning Center, which is set to be built next year.

“I first heard about the learning cen-ter in 2010,” he said. “It takes a long time for an idea to become nuts and bolts.”

Commissioner Bill Partington said the stability and predictability of a commis-sion is important for the business com-munity and residents.

Partington was elected deputy mayor by the commission, a role he had in the previous term. He is responsible for filling in for Mayor Ed Kelley in com-munity and government meetings when necessary. He said it has been his plea-sure to serve.

“If this were Toronto, it would be a hard job,” he said with a smile. “It’s easy here because we have such a good mayor.”

+ Tropic Sun Towers robbedOrmond Beach Police are investi-

gating a robbery that occurred at the Tropic Sun Towers, 591 S. Atlantic Ave., at about 1:20 a.m. Nov. 17. The night clerk stated that the suspect entered through the front door, pro-duced a handgun and demanded money from the cash drawer.

After receiving the money, the suspect hit the clerk in the head and demanded his wallet and cell phone. The suspect pulled the phone cord from the wall and made the clerk lie down before leaving. The clerk said he went to the Circle K convenience store to call the police.

Police searched the area but could not locate the suspect. He is described as a white male, 5 feet, 6-8 inches tall, with a medium build and wearing black pants, a long-sleeve black shirt with white lettering on the front and a dark colored bandana covering his face. The investigation is continuing.

Anyone with information can call Crimestoppers at 277-TIPS or toll-free at 1-888-277-TIPS.

The greenhouse was named after the museum’s gardener, Janett Van Wicklen-Taylor.

Smiling, Mardene said, “He knew you needed help.”

Paws of Freedom is an offshoot of Pups ’N’ Pals, a program that allows adoptions of dogs from the Halifax Humane Soci-ety that are trained by inmates at Tomo-ka Correctional Institution on Tiger Bay Road in Daytona Beach.

During the graduation ceremony on Nov. 12, three of the 12 dogs were in the veterans program. The dogs are trained for seven weeks in Pups ’N’ Pals or 14 weeks in Paws of Freedom.

The people involved say the program is a win-win situation.

At the ceremony, the inmates proud-ly showed off the dogs they trained by putting them through a series of com-mands. After receiving a certificate, the inmates each thanked the officials for letting them take part in the program. Many spoke of how they learned pa-tience and responsibility in training and caring for their assigned dog from the Halifax Humane Society.

“He taught me a lot about myself,” said inmate Derek Maxwell, who had trained Cody.

“The experience was great,” said Pe-ter Umholtz, another inmate. “We have a good time, and the dog gets a second chance.”

After graduation, many of the dogs are adopted, making them also winners. Homeless and sometimes abused, they were at the Humane Society with the possibility of being put to sleep. After the ceremony, they went to their “for-ever homes.”

Not only have they received obedi-ence training and earned an AKC Ca-nine Good Citizen Certificate, the dogs have also been spayed or neutered, crate trained, housebroken, micro-chipped and are up-to-date on shots.

There are other programs through-out the country where military veterans are provided with companion dogs, but Paws of Freedom is the only one orga-nized by U.S. Veterans Affairs. The pro-

gram was suggested to the VA by Jen-nifer Muni-Sathoff, a social worker at the Daytona Beach office, who recom-mends veterans for the program.

“If a vet is anxious, you want to give him a calm dog,” she said. “If a vet is de-pressed, you want a dog with some pep and not one that will be lying around sleeping.” She works with Amanda Wil-liams of the Humane Society to find the right dogs.

Pups ’N’ Pals is the passion of Offi-cer Gail Irwin, of Tomoka Correctional Institution, who oversees the program and the Facebook page.

“This wouldn’t be sustainable without the inmates,” she said. “They do a really good job.”

The inmates receive help from Allyn Weigel, president of the West Volusia Kennel Club, who has trained dogs for more than 40 years and is co-founder of the Pups ’N’ Pals program along with Warden Steve Wellhausen.

Weigel said the inmates are with the dogs 24 hours a day. The dogs sleep in crates by the inmate’s bunk.

“They get house trained that way,” he said. He offers further training to dogs after they are adopted, if necessary.

Visit Pups ’N’ Pals on Facebook. More information on the veterans program can be found at prisonpups.org.

Robert Carolin, the greenhouse cost a little over $6,000.

“That just shows you what we can do as a community with the partners that are out there,” Carolin said. “There are won-derful people who are willing to loan you the time and the money. I’m honored to be a part of this project.”

The greenhouse will be maintained by the Garden Club of Halifax Country.

Recession in 2007. This translates to an hourly wage of $23.74, or $11.87 per hour each, if two parents work.

The annual Household Survival Budget for a single adult is $18,624, an increase of 12% since 2007. The single-adult budget translates to an hourly wage of $9.32.

Florida became less affordable from 2007 to 2012. Despite the Great Reces-sion, the cost of basic housing, child care, transportation, food and health care in-creased by 13%.

Bank starts living wage programFirst GREEN Bank implemented a Liv-

ing Wage Program as of Oct. 1, providing all full-time employees with a minimum $30,000 yearly salary. Part-time employ-ees received a comparable increase.

Green Bank is headquartered in Mount Dora and has a branch at 175 W. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach.

“The current minimum wage debate is continuing to heat up and needs to be addressed,” said Ken LaRoe, CEO and founder of First GREEN Bank. “We want to show organizations that it is possible to provide both hourly and salary employees with a sustainable income.”

Christina Heflin, spokeswoman for First GREEN Bank, said the bank decided to make the wage 50% more than the ap-proximate $10 suggested by a study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy. The school calculated living wages to meet minimum standards of living. For Volusia County, the school says the living wage is $9.20 per hour for one adult, and $20.04 for an adult with one child. The minimum wage by law is currently $7.25 per hour.

LaRoe said out of 68 employees at all the bank branches, 12 are getting raises.

Gary Ayers works part-time as a courier at the Ormond Beach branch, and was bumped up $1 an hour. At age 74, he’s on a fixed income and said it makes all the difference in the world.

“It means my wife and I can pay some bills or got out to eat or to a movie,” he said.

Many businesses, such as restaurants, have said that increasing the minimum wage would force them to lay off employ-ees or go out of business. LaRoe said he also owns a pizza restaurant and is look-ing at instituting a living wage there.

“I think it could be done,” he said. “The industry is stuck in a rut. Change the way you do things. Bump up the price and don’t accept tips. It’s un-American to make a profit at the expense of workers. People should be able to stay alive. ”

He said a well-run restaurant should be able to cover labor cost.

He also said, however, that a small mom-and-pop type of business might not be able to increase wages for employees. LaRoe said he has always been a “rabid capitalist and a rabid environmentalist.”

“You don’t have to be schizophrenic. They are complementary,” he said.

An Ormond Beach man convicted of three felonies stemming from a July 26,

2012, crash that killed two people from Fla-gler County was sen-tenced to 16 years in a state prison facility on Nov. 14.

Louis Prinzo, IV, 24, was convicted of two counts of DUI causing death, one count of DUI causing serious bodily injury and one count of misdemeanor driving under the influence.

Following Prinzo’s re-lease from prison, he will serve 19 years of drug offender probation.

Each of the two DUI-causing-death charges carries a four-year minimum mandatory, meaning he will not be eli-gible for “gain time” for those eight years, according to State Attorney Spokesman Spencer S. Hathaway. Gain time is used to reduce sentences for good behavior.

Evidence showed that Prinzo was driv-ing a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis and turned in front of two vehicles on Inter-state 95, causing a three-car crash. The crash resulted in the death of two people and the serious injury of two others.

The court heard two hours of emotional

testimony from both friends and family of the victims and of the defendant, ac-cording to Hathaway. Circuit Judge Leah Case ultimately sentenced the defendant to 16 years in prison followed by 19 years of probation with special conditions of no drugs or alcohol, an alcohol safety educa-tion course, a victim impact panel, resti-tution totaling $8,000 and court costs and fines.

The crash happened about 10:50 p.m. Doron Lyn, then 32, of Wilmington,

North Carolina, who was driving a Chevy Blazer behind Prinzo, was injured.

Lane Burnsed, 18, of Bunnell was driv-ing a Ford 150 behind Prinzo and was killed. Also killed was a passenger in the Ford, Meredith Smith, 17, of Palm Coast. Another passenger in the Ford, Tuesday Coulter, then 20, of Palm Coast, was in-jured.

State Attorney R.J. Larizza made the following comment after the sentencing: “The defendant illegally obtained and abused prescription drugs, a crime in and of itself. He chose to drive under the influ-ence of the drugs and two teenagers died as a result. His acceptance of responsibil-ity was the only positive of this tragic situ-ation.”

Assistant State Attorney Michael Wil-lard, of the State Attorney’s Career Crimi-nal Unit, prosecuted the case.

Jonathan Dills has been play-ing the cello for six years. Before that he played the violin for five years and a few months ago he picked up bass.

“Classical, almost every-thing,” Jonathan Dills said. “I like Bach and Mozart.”

“He always went over to his Papa’s and grab Papa’s guitar or Papa’s violin,” Tara Dills said, re-membering her son as a young boy. “He always wanted to play music.”

Though Jonathan Dills could probably play any instrument he wanted, he says he’ll stick with the cello. The excitement of his accomplishments might not show in his words, but it shines through when he plays.

Like many 1 5 - y e a r - o l d boys, Jonathan Dills doesn’t say much. Wear-ing an old cow-boy hat and a Christmas shirt his mother, Tara Dills, sewed for him, Jonathan Dills’ siblings describe him as “the weird one.” Though the family has a lot to say about their musical mem-ber, everyone is silent when he starts to play.

“He’s always played,” Tara Dills said. “Even when he was a little boy, he had a little gui-

tar. It took us a while to real-ize he was just playing by ear.”

Though the Dills are home-s c h o o l e d , Jonathan Dills is a part of the Mainland High School Orches-tra, where he got a chance to try out for the

Florida Allstate Band. And two weeks ago, he found out that out of 3,000 students, he was picked. “It felt good,” Jona-than Dills said in his usual, straight-to-the-point manner.

“The whole reason we joined

the Mainland High School Or-chestra was to attempt to get into Allstate,” Tara Dills said. “There’s only 15 seats. His pri-vate teacher told him, ‘15 seats, so don’t hold your breath.’ It’s not even known for anyone to get it on their first attempt. But he did it.”

Starting in January, the All-state Band will have an in-tense rehearsal schedule be-fore it performance on Jan. 17. And Ormond Beach’s own Jonathan Dills will sit first chair.

“I was told by the conduc-tor that’s it been over 10 years since someone from Main-land has made it to Allstate,” Tara Dills said.

Jonathan Dills

One year ago, I was standing in the middle of Burlington

Coat Fac-tory trying on shoes I didn’t need, when my friend, Av-ery, called to tell me she was e n g a g e d . She quickly hung up on me, af-ter I spent the next 30 s e c o n d s

screaming in the middle of the boots aisle.

This past Saturday, I was standing in the middle of a priest and a restless flower girl as Avery said her vows to her now husband, Vinny. Despite having to stop the flower girl from chucking a Bible across the pews and losing sensation in my feet from my heels, the Catholic ceremony was beau-tiful. I cried at least four times. And only one time was it be-cause of my shoes.

Now, this isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve been a bridesmaid three times before, and it is no walk in the park.

The first order of business is always the dresses, which have

the potiental to be a huge, ruf-fley pink disaster. Thankfully, I’ve got friends with good taste.

“I’ll try not to embarass you,” Avery promised.

But with our group of friends, there is always room for jokes.

“You look like big pickles,” my friend’s mom joked as we tried on our sage green, floor-length gowns. Whatever. I still loved the dress because it was long enough for me to go barefoot after the ceremony without the bride noticing.

I also had to pick out a gift from Avery’s registry, which turned out to be the most anxiety-filled shopping

trip of my life. What kind of friend was I if I bought her a $7 basket instead of the $40 utensil set? I wanted my gift to leave a lasting impression, but I couldn’t think of a time where Avery would need a $40 fork.

At the last minute, I also as-sumed the role of bachelor-ette party planner, just three weeks before the wedding.

I quickly threw together a night at a cute bed and break-fast in New Smyrna Beach, complete with manicures and massages the next day. But I guess it was thrown together too quickly because not even the bride could make.

So fellow bridesmaid Ka-

leigh and I spent Avery’s last night as a single woman with our moms. Turned out to be one of the best bachelorette parties I’ve ever attended.

The day of the wedding went smoothly, besides the bride-to-be falling out of her chair, taking a nearby lamp with her. Our photographer enjoyed making us strut like “those girls on ‘Sex in the City’” through a damp field of grass.

After the ceremony was over, we made our way to the recep-tion. It was the second wed-ding in which I’ve been placed at a table in the back corner, filled with people I used to go to high school with. Thankful-ly, the open bar made for some interesting conversation.

Tiffany, a bridesmaid eager to be a bride, kept her ears perked, listening for the call to catch the bouquet.

“I’ll pay someone $15 to keep her from catching it,” her boyfriend, well into his fourth cocktail, said. Luckily for him, she didn’t catch it.

No matter what headaches this wedding caused, it was all worth it to see one of my best friends get married to the man of her dreams.

Even if I was dressed like a big pickle.

+ Residents attend annual Health Fair in Flagler Beach

The fifth-annual Health Fair was held at the United Methodist Church in Flagler Beach and included 27 vendors who offered information about their businesses and services.

Among the services offered were hearing and diabetes screening, vision testing, blood pressure checks and flu shots.

First organized in 2010, the Health Fair has grown every year. “Home Instead has participated for three years,” Joyce Fenstermaker from Home Instead, said, and “every year it gets better.”

+ Local student wins Halifax Art Festival competition

Mady Ufheil, a 10th-grade student at Father Lopez Catholic High School, recently won the Signature Award for Best in Show at the 52nd-annual Halifax Art Festival’s Student Exhibit and Competition. Her papier-mâché strawberry won her the $400 prize.

The student competition was started in 1999 by Ormond Beach artist Donna Jordan. An average of 1,000 works are exhibited each year; 21 students were five cash awards.

The awards were the donation of The Wessel Foundation, established by Dr. Helen Wessel.

Nov. 5Doesn’t hurt to check

12:38 p.m. — 600 Block of Hand Av-enue. Traffic Stop. The officer saw a male go up to a residence known for drug activ-ity and make a hand-to-hand exchange. When the suspect returned to his car, the officer followed him.

The suspect increased speed and began to tailgate the car in front of him. He then made an abrupt turn into a shopping plaza where the offi-cer initiated a traf-fic stop.

Asked why he was at the residence, he said to loan the occupant $20.

The officer dis-covered the suspect had a suspended li-cense, and informed him the car would be towed and the contents in-ventoried.

The suspect became nervous and be-gan reaching around as if searching for something. Asked what he was searching for, he said he wanted to make sure no one had left anything illegal in the car.

The suspect would not stop frantically searching around the car, so he was re-moved from the car.

An inventory revealed three open beers that were cold and three unused syringes. The suspect said the syringes belonged to someone else.

The suspect was given a citation for driving with a suspended license and a warning for open alcohol containers.

The victim said she just moved here

and was look-ing for a job on

a job website as a housekeeper or

personal assistant. She received an email from the suspect saying

he wanted to hire her. The suspect told her he

was moving to the area soon and needed to have some items purchased

arrived. She cashed the check at her bank and wired the money to the person as re-quested.

After she received another check for $2,500, she became suspicious. She checked with her bank and they said it would be five days before they knew if the first check was fraudulent.

She turned all the evidence over to po-lice, along with the address in Milwaukee where she wired the money.

‘Just being stupid’4 a.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada

Boulevard. Petit Theft. The suspect passed all points of checkout without paying for knives and a wall charger, which he had placed in his pockets.

After being arrested by a police officer and read his Constitutional rights, the suspect said he was willing to answer questions.

Asked why he took the items, he said he was just being stupid. He was transported to Volusia County Branch Jail.

Nov. 6Nothing to see here

11:53 p.m. — First Block of Brook-wood Drive. Information. The police responded to an address after receiv-ing a report of a disturbance between father and son. The caller said the fa-ther had a gun.

Upon arrival, units established a perimeter and had dispatch try to make telephone contact, which was unsuccessful. Officers then tried to reach the parties using a patrol car public address system.

After several minutes, the officers reached a resident who said there was no disturbance and everyone was sleeping. Officers checked the house and found no sign of disturbance.

The owners said they suspected some neighbors that they had prob-lems with.

SportsORMONDBEACHOBSERVER.COM THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2014

In most sports arenas, there are two types of crowds. There is the section where everyone is dressed conservatively, occasionally cheer-

ing when its team makes a play. Then, there is the stu-dent section. In this section, no one looks or acts sane.

The stu-dent section is the heart of a team. When things are go-ing wrong, the section e n c o u r a g e s.

When the opponent is trying to concentrate, the section goes cra-zy. Rarely do they ever take a seat.

“It’s a huge motivator; when I look over to the sidelines and see all my friends cheering and screaming, even if the score isn’t in our favor,” said Sam Hayworth, Seabreeze’s kicker. “Honestly, they are one of biggest reasons why I love my school so much.”

Sandcrabs quarterback Jeremi-ah Wilson seconded his kicker’s sentiment about their student section, saying, “Coming from a school with no student section, and at one point having a 1-5 re-cord, it meant a lot to have them with us. They were the ones who supported us, when no else did.”

Seabreeze’s and Mainland’s stu-dent sections were the first well-organized sections that I’ve seen in high school sports. According to J.T. Vail, one of Mainland’s student section leaders, they were told that their section was horrible.

“We believed that we didn’t need a lot of people to be louder than everyone else,” he added. “We get the team hyped, and we put pres-sure on the other team.

Denzel Houston, Mainland’s star quarterback also believes that student sections, Mainland’s, in particular, make a big difference in the games, saying, “They are so loud at the games. There are a lot of people who are filled with team spirit.”

Though they’ll probably never be credited with a win, the players know who keep them pumped to perform well on the field.

Killin’ it: Mainland runs into playoffs

speed demon: adrian killins By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer

Adrian Killins fell in love with football at the age of 5. His peers quickly realized that he was the fastest player on the field. Now, as a track star and running back who is helping to lead Mainland High School into the second round of the playoffs, he has continued to put his speed on display.

Growing up as the son of a fireman, Killins learned toughness and quickness. After watching football on television, he went out to the park and began playing flag football. While getting better at the sport, he began playing tackle football and realized that he had to run a lot faster to escape bigger players.

“I was always one of the shortest and youngest play-ers,” Killins said.

Although Killins was al-ways the smallest kid, that didn’t stop him from being one of the fastest.

As Killins evolved into a being a good football player, his current track coach, Fred-die Morell, introduced him to running for track.

“It was frustrating for me, at first, because everyone seemed taller and faster than I was, so I just told myself that I was going to become the best,” he said.

The next track season, Kil-lins made it to nationals for track and finished second in the 12-year-old division for the 100- and 200-meter races.

Killins hasn’t stopped working hard in track or foot-ball. He finished the regu-lar season as one of the top running backs in the area,

running for 803 yards and 11 touchdowns. In his first play-off game this season, Killins ran for 196 yards and three touchdowns to help Main-land win 42-7.

Now, when he sees young kids around the city and in the football stands, they tell him how they want to be like him. “I always let them know that, if they stay in school, stay out of trouble and stay away from drugs, then they can do any-thing in life,” he said.

Up next for Killins and Mainland are the Edgewater Fightin’ Eagles Friday, Nov. 21, at Municipal Stadium.

“We’ve been coming up short, since I’ve been here,” Killins added. “I don’t plan on coming up short this year. We want to go all the way to state and bring it home.”

Malik Maitland has never doubted him-self on the basketball court, no matter where he was playing.

Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Maitland learned how to play basketball at the age of 5, and he has yet to put the ball down. While he continued to learn the game, Maitland skills got better, and coach-es from all the five New York boroughs be-gan to take notice.

“He’s always been the best,” said Yvonne Maitland, Malik’s mother. “All the coaches just told me to bring him to our team. Malik has a gift.”

Maitland excelled on the court on every team he played for while living in New York, and then his family decided to move to Palm Coast.

“Moving from place to place was not a bad thing,” Maitland said. “It’s helped me mature and see the world.”

After playing for several schools in mid-dle school and his first year in high school, Maitland finally settled at Father Lopez,

where he has become one of the top play-ers in the area.

After sparking interest from many col-leges, Maitland chose to sign his letter of

“This means a lot to me,” he added. “It’s a day where I give God tremendous thanks because I know that without him, none of this would be possible.”

Maitland will play his senior year along-side his younger brother, Mario, a sopho-more for the Green Wave, who boasted of finally beating his older brother last year and regularly now.

“He makes excuses, but I know he plays his hardest, when we play,” Mario Mait-land said. But, I’m proud of what he has done. He worked really hard for this.”

Maitland hopes that he can end his high school career as a champion, but if not, he will always feel at home with a basketball in his hand.

“When I’m on the court, I feel like I’m in heaven,” Maitland said. “I may not know how heaven exactly feels, but I just know that I get really happy out there. Nothing makes me happier.”

Last season the Seabreeze Lady Sandcrabs lost seven starting seniors, along with their head coach. Former assistant and new head coach Kim Merkel knew the team needed to get to know each other quickly, in order to play better, so she took the Lady Sand-crabs on an overnight bonding retreat this past weekend.

“We’re such a brand new team with new coaches, so we just cooked to-gether, made desserts, exercised, talk-ed and really got to know each other,” Merkel said. “It was important for us to do this.”

According to Merkel, Seabreeze had never done anything like that before. The team has even created a special team ball, where each player put a word on it that meant something to her. Some of the words are “sisters” “love” “family” and “passion.”

“In our match against Flagler Palm Coast, they beat us 8-1,” Merkel added.

SEABREEZE LOSES CLOSE MATCH TO MATANZASThe Seabreeze Sandcrabs came up short a goal to

lose 4-3 to the Matanzas Pirates Tuesday, Nov. 18, at Matanzas High School.

The Sandcrabs couldn’t have begun the match any better, with goals from Morgan Cramer (‘2) and Jenny Medei (’16) to quickly jump to a 2-0 lead.

Seabreeze relinquished the lead by allowing three goals in 10 minutes to head into the half trailing 3-2.

The Sandcrabs’ Medei found the back of the net again in the first five minutes out of the break to tie the game, but Matanzas was able to score a fourth goal to win. “We panicked when they came down the middle,” coach Kim Merkel said. “We have a lot of things we’re working on.”

“According to who we’ve beaten and how they played who we’ve played, we look a lot better now, and I credit the retreat a lot. I believe that we have nowhere to go but up.”

good grub By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

Gather ’round, Ormond Beach! MainStreet hosts RiverfestThe two-day seafood festival drew nearly 10,000 people to Rockefeller Gardens.

Crab legs, crawfish and lob-ster tails filled the plates of local residents attending the sixth-annual Ormond Beach Riverfest Seafood Festival.

The two-day community event celebrating all things water, drew nearly 10,000 residents to Rockefeller Park Nov. 15 and 16. Hosted by Ormond Beach MainStreet, Riverfest included live mu-sic, platoon boat rides, an in-teractive kids zone, cooking demonstrations, a public art project, a rubber duck race — and plenty to eat.

“We’ve been here since they started doing it,” Joe Sroufe, of Florida Super Grouper, said. “We’ve lived in Ormond for about 30 years. We used to have a restaurant up in Holly Hill, but this is more fun. We get to meet so many different people.”

Students from the Seabreeze High School Draft-ing Program helped create a public art project to hang in City all.

“We’re sponsored by Bill-

Partington’s AHC Safe and Lock,” Tommy Walburg, 15, said. “All the kids draw what-ever they want on the locks, and we hang them on this fence. It’s kind of a replica of that love lock bridge in Paris.”

Tommy Walburg, a 10th-grader at Seabreeze High School, helped put together a community art project based on the Love Locks Bridge in Paris.

Joe Sroufe mixed together a variety of seafood choices for his hungry customers.

Brandon Davis of Golden Gate Foods whipped up some grub for local residents.

A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS | by Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

Diversions

In the quiet pews of the Unitarian Universal-ist Society in Ormond

Beach, the Tomoka Trio sat in front of their instru-ments: a violin, a piano and cello. But instead of hearing the classical mu-sic one would expect from those instruments, a famil-iar tune filled the room — it was “With a Little Help from My Friends,” by the Beatles.

Formed over a year ago in Palm Coast, the Tomoka Trio consists of Debra Han-son on piano, Daniel Mas-bad on violin and Alexan-der Lynn on cello. Though they are all classical music enthusiasts, it wasn’t their common interests that brought them together.

“Daniel and Alexander were my students,” Debra Hanson, a long-time piano teacher, said. “They prac-ticed with me when they were in junior high. They were both wonderful play-ers, but I lost them to the strings.”

Hanson reconnected with her former students after she accompanied one of their orchestras that the boys were in together.

“I was thrilled to find that these young gentleman were approaching a level of professionalism with their

music,” Hanson said. “So I thought, ‘Hey, let’s start a trio.’”

“She knew us and we knew her, so we decided to start a trio,” Lynn said. “We wanted to practice together either to perform or just get some classical music under our belts to play. It’s fun to play with other musicians that share the love of music with you.”

As for classical music, Lynn says he doesn’t care too much for listening, but he likes playing it.

“I play pretty much any-thing I can get my hands on,” Lynn said. “I specialize in cello, ukulele and kazoo.”

The trio practices every Friday, but with so much talent and musical involve-ment, their days are often packed.

“I started playing with the Flagler Youth Orches-tra about eight years ago,” Lynn said. “I’ve also joined the St. Augustine Orchestra. I haven’t had many lessons, I’m self taught. There just aren’t many cello teachers in this area.”

For Lynn, he got involved with the cello unwillingly.

“I had a neighbor that was playing cello,” Lynn said. “I went to class with him one day, and I went in thinking ‘I’m never going

to do this. This is stupid. I don’t want to play an in-strument.’ I came out of the class, looked at my mom and said, ‘Well, I’m sorry. I would like to play cello now.’”

Though there might be a slight age difference be-tween Hanson and the boys, she said it’s nothing she notices when they play.

“These guys are so tal-ented,” Hanson said. “They have such a range of inter-est, and there is no feeling of me being the teacher. They’re very mature young gentleman. I hope they feel the same way, that we’re music comrades. Age is not

a problem.”Hanson said that though

they haven’t discussed their next performance, she hopes to do some Jimi Hen-drix.

Though they enjoy play-ing some other genres like the Beatles, the trio sticks to mainly classical music. Still, it’s fun to add in a little something extra.

“We knew if we were to play only classical music by old composers that people have never heard of, then we wouldn’t have that big of a crowd,” Lynn said. “So we had to put something in there to sort of sweeten the deal.”

A teacher and two former students reunite.
