Ormond Beach Observer

One Ormond Beach family has found more in living with less. David and Michelle Young live in a 250-square-foot “tiny house” in Ormond Beach.

“I’ve always loved small spac-es,” David Young said. “My par-ents owned a house that had a canning cellar in it, and when I was younger I made that small space my own.”

“People don’t realize how comfortable a small space is,” Michelle Young said. “We have everything we need. We’re not missing anything.”

The house is made by 2-by-4s and is insulated just like a house. David Young built his tiny house after reading about The Tiny

Lulu’s Oceanside Grille is going green. The coastal cuisine restau-rant recently installed an electric car charger in the parking lot — the first in Ormond Beach.

“A year or so ago, we moved towards going green,” co-owner Jeff

Bartholomew said. “With the amount of people getting electric cars now, we wanted to be the first in town to do it. No one in Ormond has it yet.”

Bartholomew also said he hopes it will encour-age people with electric cars to grab a bite at Lu-

lu’s while they charge up. “We have a lot of cus-

tomers that drive elec-tric cars,” co-owner Ron Defilippo said. “So we thought it would be kind of a cool thing to add. We’ve had people plug-ging in already.”

In addition to the car

charger, Lulu’s opened other avenues to be-come more eco-friendly. They cook only sustain-able fish, meaning they

are from fishermen who abide by all the laws and don’t overfish. They also

An effort by the City Commission to lower costs for pickup of garbage, yard waste and recycled materi-als backfired recently when waste companies came back with much

higher bids than were expected.

The city is current-ly paying $4,068,881 per year, and the new contract calls for $4,957,135 per year. Residents currently pay

$16.81 per month and will pay $17.61 in the new contract, which begins in October.

The new monthly fee would be $19.21, but the city is going to sub-sidize the rate for three

years. The city has sub-sidized the waste rate for many years, using money from the sale of trucks when the city first outsourced waste

The seventh-grade boys of the Ormond Beach Police Athletic League Boys Travel Basketball Team took home the gold at the 2014 United States Specialty Sports Association Championship, in Gainesville.

The Ormond Beach PAL Bruins faced the Skillset Vipers of Georgia in the cham-pionship game and won the 2014 USSSA Division 2 National Championship, 65-64.

Kevin Beans finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds to contribute to the win. Kevon McCrary had 13 points and 12 rebounds. Rodney Rhoden also scored in double figures and, with seven seconds left in the game, Rhoden scored the game-winning shot with no time left on the clock.

Kevin Beans received the Most Valuable Player Award. Kevon McCrary and Rodney Rhoden received All Tournament Team votes from various coaches.

“Our kids worked hard all year for this,”

coach Avery Randolph said in a press release. “They put in numerous hours of practicing and learning the game. These kids were able to manage extra curricular activities at school, chores at home and most important their grades to partici-pate.”

School may be out for stu-dents, but it was in for a cou-ple of weeks in June, when a group of 196 teachers from around the state gathered in Orlando. In a two-week ses-sion, they learned how to teach math according to the new Florida Standards that will take effect next year.

The conference was run by the state-funded Florida Center for Research in STEM, which is aligned with Florida State University.

Becky Pittard, of Ormond Beach, an elementary school teacher for 25 years, includ-ing stints at Pine Trails El-ementary and Pathways Ele-mentary, is one of the leaders of the conference.

Pittard was on the team that developed the Common Core standards a few years ago, which were later re-vised to become the Florida Standards, and she said the changes in teaching math are much needed.

She said the real difference next year in math education will be an emphasis on un-derstanding and reasoning, and not just memorization.

“Math education has been too rote,” she said.

Pittard said there was a time in the nation’s history, in the 1930s and 1940s, when schools taught math with more understanding. After World War II, she said, the teaching involved a lot of memorization.

The Florida Standards take

a new approach, which harks back to the past.

“It’s learning how to reason in math,” she said. “We need creative reasoning.”

She said the teachers at the conference are enthusiastic about helping students have more understanding.

“It’s enjoyable when a kid’s eyes light up, when they un-derstand,” Pittard said. “I want to get the word out that the new standards are want-ed and needed by students.”

The teachers are learning more about math at the con-ference. They are all taking the course, “Thinking Math-ematics.”

“If we want teachers to teach math, they need to un-derstand math,” Pittard said,

When Common Core standards were developed, Pittard said, they looked at teaching methods used in Japan, Finland and other countries that consistently have high student math scores.

She said that for years, people complained that American students were be-hind the rest of the world, and now they are complain-ing about the changes in the standards.

“It doesn’t make sense,” she said.

The Florida Center for Research was created by the Legislature to promote STEM, which stands for sci-ence, technology, engineer-ing and math. There have

been previous workshops on science, technology and en-gineering, Pittard said.

Pittard said 14 facilitators helped the teachers better understand math content and standards, research dif-ferent strategies for teach-ing and develop lesson plans and other resources that will be shared with other teach-ers on the state website, cpalms.org.

Pittard said there are mis-conceptions about Common Core. First, she said many people think it was “some kind of federal takeover.”

“It came from the National Governor’s Association Con-ference in 2008,” she said. The governors decided to make an effort to improve education and worked with the chief education officials in each state, she said.

There are 10 teachers from Volusia County at the work-shop, Pittard said. Although it’s only a fraction of the number of statewide teach-ers, she said the plan is that the teachers will go back and share their knowledge. Also, the lesson plans and strate-gies will be on the website.

Pittard said the teachers at the conference responded to invitations that were sent out to the schools.

“These teachers are taking two weeks out of their life to learn to do better,” Pittard said. “It speaks to their pas-sion.” She believes the new standards are important and hopes they don’t become a political hot topic and “changed for political rea-sons.”

Father Lopez enrollment soarsLocation on west side makes easy commute for students from throughout area.

The move from Daytona Beach to its current LPGA Boulevard location in 2008 has proven to be successful for Father Lopez Catholic High School, as enrollment has grown 80%. New facili-ties and a more accessible lo-cation have apparently com-bined to spur the increase.

Built in 1959, the high school’s previous campus on Madison Avenue in Day-tona Beach was showing its age after 49 years of opera-tion. The enrollment at the old school had dropped from 409 in 1984 to 269 in 2008.

“The building was really old, and there was no room for expansion,” school Presi-dent Dr. Michael Coury said recently.

Next year’s enrollment is currently 482, an 80% in-crease over the 269 low. En-rollment for the semester that just ended was 438.

Coury said new facili-ties, including up-to-date technology in the math and science labs, helped enroll-ment, as well as the location at 3918 LPGA Blvd., which is within easy access of U.S. 92 and Interstate 95.

The school draws stu-dents from throughout the area, including Sanford, New Smyrna Beach and Flagler County.

“It’s opened up a whole

gateway,” he said.Last year, 138 Father Lopez

students resided in Ormond Beach, Coury said, and 26 students were from Flagler County.

Dr. Alfred Alson, of Palm Coast, said the 30-minute trip to the school was “well worth it.” He said his wife, Rosalia, drove their daugh-ter, Jasmine, to the school each day and enjoyed “mom and daughter time.”

“It worked out wonderful-ly,” he said.

The school sits on 95 acres,

with space designated for baseball and softball fields, and tennis courts in the near future, if funding can be raised.

For the more distant fu-ture, there’s space for a per-forming arts center and an-other academic building, which would allow more students. The capacity of the current school is about 510, but Coury said but any growth would be handled carefully.

“We want to provide per-sonal care and attention; the

parents expect that,” he said.Currently there is an

education building, field house, chapel, administra-tion building, media center, multipurpose building and a football stadium.

Coury said the school’s mission is to educate “the whole person.” The students take part in community ser-vice projects, such as Healthy Hands, where they package 24,000 meals for the needy.

“The best way to thank the giver is to share the gift,” Coury said.

When you ask Lynn Elder what she likes about her job in the ceramics shop, she signs the word “money.”

Though she also loves to paint and make things, Elder is proud of her ability to create a living as a disabled adult. She is one of 100 current participants who have found pur-pose and independence through the Work Oriented Rehabilitation Center.

Kelly Ferguson, CEO of WORC, said the organization offers many different services to help people with disabilities gain independent skills.

“We provide them with opportunities for vocational education, adult education and contract service work,” Ferguson said.

Established in 1969, WORC has programs to live, work and play in the center. For employment opportunities, WORC offers a print shop, a ceramics shop, a sewing center, a food service center and a wood shop.

“They create the stakes that you see sur-veyors, mappers and construction industry people use,” Ferguson said. “It’s really won-derful to watch. We also have a food service area here with a commercial kitchen so our participants can learn to use commercial grade appliances. There are a lot opportuni-ties for employment.”

WORC also has a residential program where 15 individuals currently live. They are opening a group home in Port Orange to house six individuals.

“Through all of those kinds of programs,” Ferguson said, “we are able to provide em-ployment services, socialization and take care of all of the different needs that might be necessary.”

Since its inception, Ferguson said, WORC has placed 5,000 in employment in the com-munity and created over 5 million pieces through production.

“I’ve been in this community for over 20 years,” Ferguson said. “I’ve always known about this organization and always known that it provides an important service. But I think being here every day and seeing the difference that you make, it is really phe-nomenal.”

Ferguson, who was appointed CEO in April, said independence is the piece of the puzzle that holds WORC together.

“What I’ve learned is that adults with disabilities can do a tremendous number of things,” Ferguson said. “They take great pride in their work. The sole purpose is to give them the tools to live their own independent lives.”

have a herb garden surrounding the building.

“We grow our own herbs out-side,” Bartholomew said. “It helps with outside smells, makes it pleas-ant. People get hungry when they walk in, and we can use them in the kitchen.”

Lulu’s also recently switched to biodegradable takeout boxes.

“It’s a little more money, but it helps the environment,” Bar-tholomew said. “Overall, it’s going to pay off for us in the long run. Save the environment now, and we don’t have to worry about it later.”

Bartholomew also mentioned that Lulu’s recently purchased an electric golf cart that they will soon be driving up and down the beach as advertising instead of using planes.

“We’re gonna get people to see us and pass out free water,” Bar-tholomew said. “It helps us and helps people on the beach. So that saves a lot of gas.”

Bartholomew said his customers are taking notice. Within the first day of switching to biodegradable boxes, people were making positive comments.

“It helps us as a business,” Bar-tholomew said. “A lot of our business is based on cows, fish and chicken. If we can’t raise them in a safe way then it kind of defeats the purpose of me trying to sell it. The healthier we are and the better things we do, we are ensuring we will be here lon-ger. We want to bring the commu-nity together and do our part to save the world.”

“In order for us to be progressive,” Defilippo said, “we have to be pro-gressive. Whether it’s our food, our drink, our decor, it’s important that we do our part. I think we are cut-ting-edge all the way, from our stuff to our staff to our community.”

House Movement that started in 1996. “I grew up in an almost 4,000-square-foot

house,” David Young said. “We wanted to get rid of all the stuff in our lives. We had so much junk. At one point in our life we had a four-bedroom house, and every room was full. It was just us two.”

The Young family also started with the Tiny House Movement to save money.

“We wanted to be debt free,” Daniel Young said. “That was one of the biggest things.”

“We wanted more money to do fun things,” Michelle Young said. “Travel, things like that.”

The family used the money they saved to help start up Makin’ Waves Surf Shack, an all-natural smoothie concession stand. Da-vid Young hopes to franchise the business this month.

“We’ve had lines of people,” David Young said. “We’ve been up and down the east coast.”

After building his tiny house in Aurora,

Ohio, he moved his family to Ormond Beach for his business, which is also built on a 18-foot trailer.

They have also been raising a baby in the tiny house. Now 8 months, Charlotte was 2 months old when they first moved in.

“At first I thought it would be really chal-lenging,” Michelle Young said. “But we ad-justed really easy. But I don’t know how it will be when she starts moving. That’s why we’re going to end up in an actual house.”

But that doesn’t mean they will forget the lessons they’ve learned in their small space.

“I don’t think we will ever go above 1,400 square feet for the rest of our lives,” David Young said. “But because of Charlotte and depending on any other kids we may have, this is the wise thing to do.”

David Young said this isn’t his last tiny house. He plans on building more for other people, definitely another one for himself, and possibly even a playhouse for Char-lotte. Still, they will miss their unique place.

“The skylight — sleeping up there is so beautiful,” David Young said. “You can see the stars. We’ll miss that.”

pickup. After three years, residents will pay the full amount.

In March, Waste Management Inc. asked for market-based increases to be built into a new five-year contract, in addition to a retroactive cost-of-living increase of 1.67% back to Oct. 1, 2013. The market-based increases would be as much as 3%, and would occur in years three, four and five of the contract period.

A representative from a competitor, Waste Pro, at the meeting urged the com-mission to send out a request for propos-als, known as an RFP.

The commission voted to reject the of-fer from Waste Management and to send out the RFP. Mayor Ed Kelley and Com-missioner Troy Kent were in the minor-ity, voting to continue the contract with Waste Management.

When the bids came in, they were much higher than the current contact. Waste Management bid $5,933,861, and Waste Pro bid $4,957,135.

If the commission had approved the increases requested by Waste Manage-ment in March, their fee for the final year of their five-year contract would be $4.52 million.

The commissioners met in a special meeting on June 30 to select one of the proposals.

At the meeting, Janie Coleman, munici-pal services manager for Waste Manage-ment, said the higher bids were a result of corporate headquarters reassessing the costs.

“I said our rate was below market, and these RFPs proved it was true,” she told the commissioners.

Coleman urged the commissioners to reject all offers and negotiate a new con-tract with her company, but City Attorney Randy Hayes said the only legal options they had were to accept one of the bids or go back to the original contract with Cole-man’s company, Waste Management.

However, Waste Management rejected the idea of returning to the original con-tract.

“We’re forced to accept this bid, be-cause Waste Management has chosen not to go back to the original contract and that’s our only other option,” said Mayor Ed Kelley.

Commissioner James Stowers said call-ing it an unfortunate set of circumstances would be an understatement.

“I don’t feel good about this for the city,” he said. “But calculations were made on the facts, and here we are,” he said.

The commission voted unanimously to give staff the go-ahead to finalize the con-tract with Waste Pro. Commissioner Kent was absent. The commission will formally consider the contract at the next regular City Commission meeting on July 29.

City Manager Joyce Shanahan said Waste Pro will be held to the same stan-dards as Waste Management and that there will be no change in service to cus-tomers.

Ted Dolan, of Waste Pro, said the com-pany operates in several municipalities in Volusia County and “has a good reputa-tion.”

Getting from one place to another these days can be

s t r e s s f u l . You wait at a stop light. Then race to the next one. Wait again. Then race to the next one.

T h a t ’ s why the traffic light at Granada and Nova can be a nice break.

After a few minutes of star-ing at the light, I notice I’m hunched forward and my shoulders are tense. I tell my-self to relax. “You’re not going anywhere anytime soon,” I say. “Sit back.”

In addition to long traffic lights, there are other places to relax out on the roadway. There are several in the city, but today’s topic is South Beach Street.

Not far south of Granada Boulevard, you’ll find Ames Park. I stopped by there on a whim, and immediately saw I was in the right place. The sig-nage in the gazebo welcomes

you to Whim Garden. The city bought the land from the Ames family in 1972, and it’s now a park.

The Ameses started the gar-den in 1914, and it’s relaxing to walk by the ponds covered in lily pads, and the various sculptures that were created by the mother and daughter.

If you walk out on the dock, a walrus greets you from the water.

At least the signage says it’s a walrus, but to me it looks like a manatee. I doubt if the Ameses ever saw a walrus in the river. Maybe they thought they saw a walrus.

A visit to the park is a relax-ing break. Benches and flow-ers have been added in recent years to aid the enjoyment of

the views and breeze.Traveling on down South

Beach Street, across the bor-der in Holly Hill, is another place that takes the mind off the stress of the day: the Home of the Gnomes, at San Robar Drive. There’s a little door built into the base of a tree, and lo-cal legend has it that you can

leave a note with a wish for the gnomes.

The house was built for the gnomes in 2003 by a Holly Hill resident, after getting permis-sion from the city of Holly Hill.

Are the gnomes real? Can you prove they don’t exist? It’s a nice break to think about it.

“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is

the only truly progressive policy.”

No place like gnome: unusual spotsTime to explore the whimsical garden at Ames Park and the Home of the Gnomes.

on a drive around town ... By Wayne Grant | News Editor

Pathways meander by fanciful sculptures at Ames Park.

Several gnomes reportedly occupy this tree in Holly Hill.

I had been to ultrasounds before, but it was a new experience to see it through the

eyes of my three kids. We gazed at the moni-tor mounted on the wall at the doctor’s office last week. Like magic, a trapezoidal window of black-and-white digital snow suddenly came to life. Instead of static, we saw a person. Sort of. Eventually, this will be the kids’ youngest sib-ling, the fourth McMil-lan child.

“What do you see?” my wife, Hailey, said,

as the ultrasound tech skated a magic-wand-like instrument across her womb.

Grant, 7, tilted his head to one side to get a better angle. “Something with horns and a snout,” he said.

“Maybe it’s the baby!” shouted Ellie, 4.The image twisted as the wand gave us

a cross-sectional view of the heart, which looked remarkably like a halved green pepper.

“It looks like a human, except it has two layers of toes,” Grant said.

Jackson, 10, was excited about seeing something recognizable — an arm. Then he said, “It’s punching itself.”

“It’s waving at me,” Ellie said. “It’s like, ‘Hello, my big sister!’”

The unborn child was likened to a dino-saur, a dragon and a ghost. Grant added: “I can’t tell what’s the baby and what’s not.”

But fortunately, the kids weren’t trau-matized too badly, and they were excited to learn the gender. Would it be a baby sis-ter or a baby brother?

Thanks to Pinterest, nothing in life is simple anymore. Instead of just blurting it out, you’re now supposed to throw a party and reveal the gender in some kind of elab-

orate way. For example, bake a cake and inject pink or blue frosting into the center; when everyone has had a chance to guess, you cut the cake and everyone cheers no matter what color the frosting is.

My wife bought a bunch of cans of Silly String (actually a generic version, Goofy String) for our party. At the appointed time, with friends gathered around, the kids grabbed their cans of string. The tension was incredible for everyone (except for Hailey and me — we already knew) until the moment of Silly-Goofy truth: Pink!

All jumped for joy, as rubbery, chemi-cal-rich string got stuck in everyone’s hair and clung to the grass like spider webs.

Now, we can stop referring to the baby as “It.” Officially, a baby girl will be add-ed to our home in November, and we couldn’t be happier. I’m not sure if Ellie will be able to wait that long, though. She keeps asking, “Can we go to the hospital to see if the baby is ready?”

Sorry to ruin the surprise: It’s a girl

Enviro Camp got underway the week of July 7, at The Casements, with the camp-ers learning about weather through a visit by Meterologist Eric Burris of WESH 2, and conducting their own experiments.

Now in its ninth year, the summer camp for children ages 6 to 9 often fills to ca-pacity. It meets weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The children learn about nature and the

environment by taking field trips, learn-ing from experts and conducting experi-ments. Next week, the topic will be “living green,” and subjects will include recy-cling.

Cultural Center Coordinator Siobhan Daly said the kids go on field trips to the beach, gardens and parks.

“There are great resources in our natu-ral surroundings,” she said.

June 30Must be a good DVD

7:40 a.m. — First Block of Pine Bluff Drive. Burglary of Conveyance. The vic-tim said her car was broken into some time overnight. Someone had broken the driver’s door window, gone through the glove box and console and spread the contents throughout the interior.

All of the electronic items and money were accounted for, but a DVD titled, “Walking with the Dinosaurs” was miss-ing.

A fingerprint from the door was placed into evidence.

Thief passes on school books8:28 a.m. — First Block of Spring

Meadows Drive. Burglary of Conveyance. An officer noticed that a car at a resi-dence had been broken into. After being notified, the victim said that a bag with his school books was taken. The rear window of the car was broken and en-try was made through the door.

The bag was located on the lawn, and the books were still inside. The glove box and console had been gone through, but nothing was missing.

July 1Carts vs. car

3:26 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Information. The victim said her car was hit by a shopping cart in the store parking lot. She said the driver’s side mirror was damaged by carts being pushed by an employee while she was waiting to park.

The manager said it was not inten-

tional. The victim insisted that a police report be filed for insurance purposes.

July 5You can run the stop sign,

but you can’t hide5:48 p.m. — Melrose Avenue

and North Yonge Street. Traffic stop. The officer was at a four-way stop and saw a black mo-torcycle, travelling at a speed

of 50 to 60 mph, go through the intersection without stop-

ping. The driver, who was wearing a full-face, black helmet, accel-erated after passing the officer.

The officer watched the motorcycle approach the intersection of Melrose Av-enue and U.S. 1. The driver then slowed down rapidly, nearly losing control, and turned north on U.S. 1.

The officer reported a reckless driver over the police radio. Volusia County deputies reported over the radio that they had prior dealings with a simi-lar motorcycle and gave an address to

where he might be going. Officers later spotted him on Airport Road and made a traffic stop.

He was taken into custody by Volusia County deputies. The Ormond Beach of-ficer cited him for speeding and failing to stop at a posted stop sign.

July 6This vandalism looks familiar ...

2:40 a.m. — First Block of Warwick Avenue. Vandalism. A caller said four teenagers exited an SUV, struck a mail-box with a bat, and then left the area.

While approaching the area, an offi-cer noticed an obstruction in the road. Several wooden slabs had been moved there from a yard. The officer noted in his report that this was similar to van-dalism incidents that had happened two months prior, when a blockage of trash bags had been placed across the road, apparently to block cars from the vandalism scene.

Several neighbors reported damaged mail boxes. The officers searched the area but did not locate any suspects.

July 7I miss you — and also my money

3:38 a.m. — 100 Block of Myra Bou-levard. Theft. The victim said her friend, the suspect, stole $800 from her purse and took her house keys.

She said she had told her friend to leave the house and not come back. At some point in the evening, she fell asleep, and when she awoke she no-ticed all the suspect’s possessions were gone.

She also noticed that her house keys and money were missing.

The officer told the victim that a charging affidavit would be completed.

— Compiled by Wayne Grant

July 1Cat chases dog

9:35 p.m. — 1500 Block of San Marco Drive. Animal Bite. The victim said she was walking her dogs when a cat started chasing the dogs. She attempted to break up the ensu-ing fight, and the cat scratched her wrist. Another person tried to help, and the cat bit him on the finger.

When the officer arrived, the vic-tims had placed the cat in a cage. The officer delivered the cat, which did not have a collar, to the Com-munity Service Office in the police department.

+ Ormond Beach molester gets 25 years in jail

An Ormond Beach man, accused of molesting a 7-year-old boy, pleaded

no contest on July 7 to lewd and lascivious molestation of a child. Chad Spears, 33, will spend the next 25 years in a state correctional facility, according to a statement from the state attorney’s office.

He received a mandatory 25-year sentence, meaning he must serve all 25 years. Prosecutors agreed not to seek a life sentence after consulta-tion with the victim’s family and in consideration of the well-being of the victim, the statement said.

“The plea will spare the child vic-tim from having to relive the most traumatic event of his young life in a deposition,” Assistant State Attorney Heatha Trigones said. “Had the case gone to trial, the victim would have had to appear in court, testify and be subject to cross examination as well as preparing for all of those events.”

During an interview with law enforcement, Spears admitted to molesting the young boy.

Spears will face a lifetime of sex offender probation upon release, and will be required to wear a GPS ankle monitor and register as a sex offender. He will also be screened for involuntary civil commitment under the Jimmy Ryce Act.

INBRIEF

Chad Spears

What do you get when you take “FIFA,” move the “I” before the first “F,” then swap the “A” and the second “F?” Hint: It’s just like the World Cup — except Josh Stevens and Raushod Floyd are playing real

football. Stevens, a 2014

Seabreeze grad, and Floyd, a ris-ing senior, are in Kuwait City, rep-resenting Team USA in the IFAF Under-19 World Championship, an international American foot-ball tournament. Seabreeze coach Marc Beach is an

assistant on Team USA’s staff.On the surface, Kuwait City,

perched at the top of the Persian Gulf, bears some semblance to the Ormond area. There’s beaches, and it’s hot. Really hot.

“It’s like Florida on steroids,” Ste-vens said of high temperatures that spiked at 117 degrees on Tuesday. “The wind is hot, too.”

In-country for less than a week, the pair has already picked up on cultural nuances in the region.

“The people are all right, but there’s certain things you can’t say or do,” Floyd said. “You can’t really talk to females, and you can’t really make eye contact with the dudes. It’s just their religion. But it’s a nice place.”

Team USA had its first taste of pool play Monday, beating Mexico, 49-14. Stevens compiled a team-high 111 rushing yards on nine carries. Floyd said he didn’t touch the ball at his receiver spot but contributed some key blocks. He injured his knee in April, so this tournament marks his first action in pads since last season.

“It went pretty good,” Stevens said. “We executed, and I scored twice, so that was pretty cool.”

There’s a seven-hour time dif-ference, meaning yesterday af-ternoon, when I downloaded the “Viber” app to call Rashoud Floyd’s iPhone without either of us incur-ring ludicrous charges — it was nearly 1 a.m. in the Middle East. Fortunately, the guys were awake. The four teams in Pool B are stay-ing at the same hotel, making in-ternational interaction practically unavoidable.

“We just finished eating dinner with Mexico,” Floyd said. The intra-squad camaraderie “really depends on the level of respect the teams have for each other,” he continued. “We’re really cool with Japan. We could sit around and talk and play with them, but when Mexico was here … we really didn’t.”

Not all of the duo’s memories were forged abroad. Before leav-ing the country, Team USA partici-pated in a weeklong training camp in Winchester, Virginia. They visited the monuments in D.C., which Ste-vens and Floyd both said was a first.

In the fall, Stevens will suit up for Merced College (California).

If coaching was a college ma-jor, it’s safe to say Pat Monahan

has taken the survey course. Dur-ing his 17 years at M a i n l a n d (14 spent as an assistant athletics di-rector), he’s c o a c h e d boys’ and girls’ tennis teams, golf

teams and bowling squads. And, oh yeah, one season of freshman girls basketball.

“That was fun,” Monahan said.

Monahan took over as Main-

land’s athletics director this summer following Dick Toth’s retirement. As Toth’s assistant for the past 14 years, Mona-han’s experience made the choice a simple one for the school’s administration.

“They asked me if I’d be the AD, and I said, ‘OK,’” he said.

Now, Monahan’s looking to build upon the winning foun-dation that Toth created at Mainland.

“He brought a level of pro-fessionalism that was just the highest,” Monahan said of his predecessor. “He was always very professional, dealing with the other schools, the FHSAA, the newspapers. I just want to carry that over. It’s one thing I’ve learned from him — is to

The first Bucky Clas-sic Softball Tournament, held June 28, raised $6,500 for the local American Heart Asso-ciation.

A total of 14 teams played in the day-long softball tournament at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex and Fields. The Bucky Clas-sic softball tournament was held in honor of Ste-phen “Bucky” Buckholt, who died in December 2013 from a heart at-tack at age 36. To honor him, a committee of his friends raised funds and organized the event.

“This event was big-ger and better than we could have ever imag-ined when the original ‘I have an idea’ text went out to the group in Janu-ary,” said Greg Hunter, Bucky Classic chairman. “Our local community businesses and people stepped up in a big way to show their love for Bucky and the American Heart Association.”

To kick off the tour-nament, organizers pre-sented a $5,000 check to the Buckholt family who, in turn, donated it to the American Heart Association.

“We will never forget the amazing event that was held in honor of our

son to benefit the Amer-ican Heart Association,” said Denise and Steve Buckholt, Stephen’s par-ents. “The outpouring of love and support was overwhelming. This was one of the happiest days we have experienced since his passing. It just shows how many good people there are in this community.”

“It was our hope this tournament would bring those who knew Ste-phen together to honor him and his love for the game, but, more impor-tantly, raise awareness on heart health and the importance of taking care of yourself — in-cluding making smarter health choices and go-ing to the doctor when something is not right,” Hunter said. “It is our hope that by raising awareness, we might not lose another too soon and that our efforts will help the American Heart Association continue to spread their message.”

Games started at 9 a.m. after ceremonial first pitches from Ste-phen’s dad, Steve Buck-holt, and sister, Stefanie Ryan.

“We can’t thank Greg Hunter and the tourna-ment organizers enough for all their hard work

and dedication to honor my brother,” Stefanie Ryan said. “I know Ste-phen wouldn’t believe it himself how many peo-ple showed up to play ball and raise money in his name.”

Team “Volusia Top Gun” won the men’s di-vision championship. For the coed division championship, teams “Dunkin’ Donuts” and “Team Bucky” played in the finals; both are teams that Stephen had

Favorite sports film: “The Pride of the Yankees.” “That’s a good one. Everybody should watch it at least once.”

Favorite memory (player): “My junior year of high school, we won the district golf tournament in a playoff against New Smyrna. That was pretty exciting. And I made a par, so I was happy.”

Favorite memory (coach): “The year (2009) we won the state bowling tourna-ment. It was the first year we ever made it out of the district tournament. We lost the last three years in a row in the round right before making states — knocked out by Seabreeze every year. We made it to the state playoffs and ran through undefeated. We beat Tymber Creek in a roll-off. It was pretty awesome.”

He won’t have to start from scratch. As a Seabreeze grad and longtime member of Mainland’s administration, Monahan has deep commu-nity roots as he steps into his new role.

“I’m just excited to work with my coaches and the other ath-letic directors,” he said. “I’ve known them all as Dick’s assis-tant, so it’s good to get to know them a little bit. I feel I have a good relationship with a lot of my coaches, so I’ll try to keep that up and help them out whenever I can.”

The committee’s plan is to host the event each year. Its hope is that more teams will participate and raise even more funds. Find The Bucky Classic on Facebook at facebook.com/BuckyClas-sicSoftball.

He expects plenty of new opportu-nities and challenges as the Bucs’ AD, but right now, the focus is on the up-coming fall sports season; it kicks off in less than a month.

“It’s kind of tough,” Monahan said, “because football and volleyball start

Aug. 4, and the teachers don’t even go back until a week after that. I’ll be communicating with my coaches, making sure everyone’s on the same page and good to go that first day of practice. In 14 years as an assistant, you learn a lot.”

The Fourth of July was celebrated in a big way this past weekend in Or-mond Beach. Even with some rainy weather, locals flocked to the city’s Inde-pendence Day Celebra-tion.

Hosted by the city of Ormond Beach Depart-ment of Leisure Services, the event was held at three locations: Rockefeller Gar-dens, Fortunato Park and City Hall Plaza.

Each location held dif-ferent types of entertain-ment. Popular hits from

the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, were played by Tie Dye Road and The Click at Rockefeller Gardens. Clas-sic rock from Brad Yates and MoiMemtum could be heard from City Hall Plaza. Kids watched the Comedy and Magic of Glen Foster and The Amazing Antics of Todd Kay at Fortunato Park, where there was also face painting, inflatable rides and a giant coloring mural.

Fireworks went off later that evening and could be seen from all three parks.

Audiences watched in awe of The Amazing Antics of Todd Kay in Fortunato Park.

Broadwater Road boasts top seller

+ Pet store celebrates 30 years in business

Amazon Jungle, 557 S. Yonge St., is celebrating its 30th year in business on July 11, 12 and 13 with door prizes, homemade refreshments and special sales.

Cloide and Rindy Sauve started the business in Ormond Beach and have been in their present location since 1990. Rindy Sauve said fish and birds are a large part of their business, and they also sell reptiles and small mammals such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. Supplies and accesso-ries are also sold.

She attributes their success to having long-term employees and personal service. They provide advice on such things as raising baby birds, and will test aquarium water for customers.

“We know our customers,” Sauve said. “We know what kind of birds and fish they have.”

For their three-day celebra-tion, they are offering 30% off the entire store, except for birds, which will be 15% off.

FANTASTIC FLAGLER | by Shanna Fortier | Community Editor

Diversions

Ed Siarkowicz won his first cam-era for selling a large amount of goods for the Boy Scouts. It was

a Kodak Kodamatic, and it worked on 110 mm film. He brought the camera everywhere, but eventually it got lost.

Fifteen years later, he went to visit his parents in his childhood home and was tasked with cleaning out the guest room closet. Tucked away in the cor-ner, was the Kodamatic.

There were three exposed shots on the film, so he took it to a photo mat for developing. A couple hours later, he picked up his photos and stared back at three selfies of his teenage self.

“It was very surreal,” he said while sitting in the gallery at Ocean Books and Art.

Siarkowicz will show his photo-graphic imagery at the gallery July 16 through Aug. 13 in his show, “Fantastic Flagler.”

The show is centered around an image of a Flagler Beach sunrise that appeared as the cover of the Flagler County Chamber’s Fantastic Flagler magazine. The purpose of the show is to make people realize the hidden treasures of Flagler County.

“A lot of these places people don’t know about,” he said motioning to a photograph of a lake nestled behind Town Center. “You realize that you don’t have to go far; we have such a treasure trove of stuff here.”

While Siarkowicz loves the dramatic water and clouds in his nature photog-raphy, street photography is slowly be-coming one of his favorites, and he has a growing portfolio of people shots.

“I was solely focused on the envi-ronment,” Siarkowicz said. “If people got into my shot, it was an annoyance at first. But after having several shots like that, I started to see a value. I got bold and started finding a person and using them.”

His inspiration, he said, comes from God’s timing, quoting Ansel Adams, who said, “Sometimes I arrive just when God’s ready to have someone click the shutter.”

“For me, being the sole witness to a spiritually meaningful event and then capturing it, and displaying it, and making it touch people’s lives, that’s the greatest enjoyment.”

Siarkowicz said his grandmother is also one of his biggest inspirations, always walking around with a spring-wound 8mm video camera. When she died, she left him with all the fam-ily negatives, spanning from 1906 to 2000. It took eight months for him to convert the 3,500 negatives into posi-tives for the rest of the family.

“For me, in a way it’s a legacy of car-rying on what she did,” Siarkowicz said. “Even though she never did any-thing artistic, it’s neat to see I’m com-ing full circle to that point of captur-ing people instead of just places and things.”

Palm Coast photographer Ed Siarkowicz will show his Flagler County-centered works at Ocean Books and Art in Flagler Beach, with a July 20 opening reception.
