Ormond Beach Observer

Mr. Wich Deli Owner George Ni-kitas works 16 hours and day — but it doesn’t bother him.

He’s been working on his feet since he bought the sandwich and pizza shop 36 years ago from own-ers who only lasted a month in the restaurant business.

“I’ve been working in a kitchen since I was 6 years old,” Nikitas said. “I’m a third-generation restaurant owner, and I grew up in the food business. My first job was peeling potatoes at Seaside Coffee Shop in Daytona Beach.”

Nikitas’ family owned a few diner-style restaurants like Seaside, and, though he didn’t necessarily intend to stay in the industry, his tough work ethic led him to Mr. Wich.

“It just kind of happened,” Nikitas chuckled. “I worked in other res-taurants in high school and after I graduated. But it’s just the way it is: You keep working.”

After three decades, Nikitas doesn’t believe in a secret ingredi-ent to success, just hard work.

“I have quite a few customers that have been coming ever since we opened,” Nikitas said. “I just do my own thing and continue on doing it. I don’t worry about anybody else. I don’t worry about competition. It’s a lot of hard work, but any business you get into will be like that.”

His long hours have come with a price: 17 years ago, Nikitas had to have his knee replaced. But at age 67, he doesn’t plan on slowing down.

“It’s just the way I am,” Niki-tas said. “I’m not one to be sitting down and not working. As long as my health will let me do it, I’ll do it.”

+ Bald eagle greets hospital patients

Patients at the Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center had a surprise visitor Oct. 7. A bald eagle landed on the sixth floor of the medical center in Ormond Beach, surprising patients and staff.

+ Ormond kids participate in Walk to School Day

Local kids recently expe-rienced the many forgotten benefits of simply walking or biking to school.

Ormond Beach Elementary was one of the Volusia County schools that par-ticipated in National Walk to School Day, an event aimed at showing students all they can accomplish just by changing their mode of transportation.

“Because all of our students live within two miles of our school,” Trish Scuteri, office specialist, said in an email, “we feel it is extra important to create a heightened awareness.”

ORMOND BEACH

BIKETOBERFEST roars into Ormond

Betty Kenter is competitive. She cel-ebrated her 102 birth-day this year, but the resident of Signature Healthcare of Ormond has a goal to be 108.

“She had a relative who lived to be 107,” said Denise Crosby, administrator at the facility.

Kenter was induct-ed into the Signature Hall of Fame in a cer-emony on Oct. 9 along

with another resident, Herbert Thackston, and several commu-nity leaders.

Crosby said Signa-ture wants to honor their achievements and contributions. Signature, a national organization, induct-ed nearly 350 people into the Hall of Fame on 100 campuses around the country on the same day.

She said the seniors

are war heroes and business leaders.

“We need to stop and celebrate, and re-cord their work,” she said.

Kenter, originally from Connecticut, was married to her husband, Philip, for 72 years, until he died in 2003. She taught pia-no and was president of the local Cancer Care Chapter.

Thackston is from

Kentucky. He was a se-nior vice president of a mortgage loan service and director of off-shore insurance com-panies. He’s known for his involvement with Easter Seals and says he enjoys cook-ing for his family. He’s most proud of his two children and Christian faith.

B i k e t o b e r f e s t doesn’t officially start until Oct. 16, but for several days before, there was definitely a roar in town, especial-ly along U.S. 1. Bikes were finding parking

spots at the water-ing holes, and bike wash girls were wav-ing signs as motorists drove past.

Jay Patel, who owns J Discount 2, 1401 N. U.S. 1, says it makes

economic sense for the bike washes to be busy the weekend before the event. The vendors pay a flat fee for a permit to the county, and a flat fee to Patel to rent his

lot, whether they are there for a few days or a week.

“If you’re smart you’ll be here more days,” Patel said.

+ Youth rowing team startedThose long, narrow boats (called rac-

ing shells) with teams of rowers (called a crew) pulling in unison and smoothly glid-ing down the river is a common sight near the Halifax Rowing Club.

It soon will be a regular sight in Ormond Beach, because a group of parents and about a dozen teenagers have formed the Ormond Youth Rowing Club.

They bought three shells, trailers and even a truck to haul them, and they set off on their first rowing exercise on Oct. 9, putting in at Fortunato Park.

Until they get permanent location, they are going to truck their shells to the river

for each outing from their temporary hous-ing in donated warehouse space.

“We need a place on the river where we can build a boat house,” said club President Anne Lunsford. “Hopefully, we

+ Domestic Abuse Council raises awareness

With a mission to prevent bullying and domestic violence, the Domestic Abuse Council hosted its third-annual Purple Parade Sept. 27, in Daytona Beach.

Students from kindergarten to 12th grade came out to enjoy face paint-ing, magicians and self-defense dem-onstrations. Bella Piparo, 17, shared her experience with being bullied that started in the fifth grade. Now a senior in high school, Piparo said she is still healing.

“Please do not abandon your friend,” Piparo said. “What bullies say is con-vincing, but it is still not true. We can-not be silent bystanders. We have to help the bullied.”

can partner with the city to find a place.”She said it’s a quiet sport that would

not interfere with a nearby neighborhood. The teens in the new club are mostly

former members of Halifax Rowing Club. Lunsford said they decided to form their own club for youth, because the college kids seemed to be given priority and the younger kids didn’t get enough time on the water.

She said there is a lot of interest among youth in rowing.

Her husband, Scott, said many colleges have rowing teams, and the chances of a rower getting a scholarship are good.

They plan to row three times a week after school.

In addition to buying the equipment they need, the group has hired a master rower as coach, Patricia Redman, along with her son, Adam.

Along with physical exercise, the rowers also mention the team aspect.

“It exercises the whole body,” said Ben

Lunsford.Taylor Coulson agreed, saying, “It’s

quite grueling, actually. But there’s a lot of teamwork.”

+ Ormond Beach officials show the color of the month

It was a colorful City Commission meet-ing on Oct. 7, as all of the officials wore pink T-shirts to help spotlight October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They got the shirts from the Ormond Beach Fire Department, which is selling them for a minimum donation of $15 to raise money for the cause. City employees are encour-aged to wear pink each Friday during the month of October.

“This is also fire prevention week so it serves a double purpose,” said Mayor Ed Kelley.

To buy a T-shirt, call 676-3255.

Decked out in puffy long dresses and an-tique suits, the cast of Rockefeller Revisited went over the rehearsal one more time.

Set in the atmosphere of one of Mr. John D. Rockefeller’s famous parties, a candlelit tour of The Casements opens for one night Oct. 18.

The tour will be led by one of Rockefeller’s maids, who will guide the guests through the house to meet Rocke-feller and a few of his fa-mous friends, including Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. Rockefeller Revisited started five years ago as a way for The Casements to host a Halloween-type of event without being too spooky.

“We decided to keep it fun and educational,” The Casements Cul-tural Center Coordina-tor Siobhan Daly said. ”We wanted to bring the characters alive. Mr. Rockefeller was one of our most famous resi-dents that lived here, and he had several dif-ferent guests that were famous in their own rights.”

Guests will tour parts of the house during an autumn dinner party in 1931 and go to vari-ous rooms to see how the house would have looked like back then.

“We thought it would

be cool to make it as if he were here,” Daly said, “take them back in time so to speak. We want them to feel like they were a part of it. The premise of the event is that Mr. Rock-efeller is about to have a party, and his maid Lil-lian, who is not the best worker, gets sidetracked and invites guests in.”

Though the tour isn’t meant to be scary, the guild wanted to keep everything as authentic as possible.

Instead of using lights, guests are given

candles to help guide their way. The event is held from 6 to 9 p.m.

and the cost is $12 for anyone over the age of 12. Opus Five will per-

form on the North Lawn Gazebo.

delivering By Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

Frappes North marks 24 years Meryl Frappier used to drive

past the building at 123 W. Granada Blvd., sigh, and say, “If only it said ‘Frappes’ on it.” Now she’s celebrating the res-turant’s 24th anniversary.

Bobby and Meryl Frappier started out in the restaurant business when they opened Fraps Famous Hoagies in South Daytona.

“My father-in-law was called ‘Fraps’ as a kid,” Meryl Frappi-er said. “When we moved down to Beach Street, we changed the name to Cafe Fraps. When I came up here, I wanted to call it Fraps Brassiere but all these bankers asked if I was trying to sell bras. I wish it was a more romantic story.”

The couple really began to feel the sense of community with their customers when they opened Cafe Fraps on Beach Street.

“Every day my husband would call for me to come in because we were really busy,” Meryl Frappier said. “We start-ed out doing really delicious food, always using fresh ingre-dients. I changed our menu ev-ery day.”

The cafe was very mom-and-pop, an atmosphere that

continues to show in Frappes today. Meryl and Bobby Frap-pier can often be found greet-ing guests in their restaurants when they’re not busy work-ing.

“Our favorite restaurant is the one that knows us,” Mer-yl Frappier said. “The nicest people walk through our door. Some customers we’ve known for 24 years when I was five-and-a-half months pregnant.”

She was pregnant when she moved to the Ormond Beach area from New York City right before opening up their first shop. Neither she nor Bobby had been in the industry.

“We were in way over our heads,” Meryl Frappier said. “We just opened up a sand-wich shop because we felt like we could do it. I don’t know, when you’re young you just do those kinds of things. I never thought it wouldn’t work.”

The couple’s consistent cus-tomers of the area really got to know the people behind their favorite Daytona Beach cafe.

“People would come in and ask Bobby where I was,” Meryl Frappier said. “He would say delivering, and they would say, ‘Food or the baby?’ With a lot

of gut, luck and good food, we persevered, and we really got a good reputation.”

Meryl Frappier credits a lot of the success to her husband’s cooking.

“His mom was a great cook, his dad was a great cook and Bobby is just phenomenal,” Meryl Frappier said. “I tell him

that our last name should be ‘Foodier’ not ‘Frappier.’ He’s like Paul McCartney who just knows how to sing. Bobby just knows how to cook.”

The couple also thanks Chef de Cuisine Jason Aldrich for being an integral part of their kitchen and making every dish look “magazine-worthy.”

CANDLELIGHT TOUR Emily Blackwood | Community Editor

Casements gears up for Rockefeller The cast of The Casements’ Rockefeller Revisited held a dress rehearsal Oct. 13.

The Volusia Council of Govern-ments voted at their meeting on Oct. 13 to undergo a transformation that will save local taxpayers money but will leave the group without a staff of employees.

Effective Oct. 31, the group, made up of the county’s mayors and rep-resentatives of the Volusia County School Board and County Council, will meet in a monthly roundtable in a location provided by the county.

Previously, VCOG, along with the Volusia League of Cities, had a staff of three employees in a building on International Speedway Boulevard, with an annual budget of $200,000. The money came from membership fees paid by the cities and the county.

The ball started rolling toward reor-ganization when the city of Deltona, the largest city in the county, and the Volusia County Council decided to drop out of the organization. Their fees had made up a large part of the funding.

Mary Swiderski, the executive direc-tor of VCOG for nine years, said she is winding down the organization and then will look for a new job. She is helping one staffer find a job, and the other has retired.

“I’m a person of great faith. I know the right thing will come along,” she said.

Swiderski points to many accom-plishments, such as promoting smart growth; coordinating the develop-ment of the Volusia County Eco-Map, a plan for sustainable development; and the cooperation of 911 and fire services.

Her only regret is that VCOG never seemed to get publicity or credit for its contributions.

She said she thinks members of county government were not com-fortable with VCOG, because VCOG would vote on policy, and then it would be up to county and city gov-ernments to implement it.

Ormond Beach Mayor Ed Kelley, the current chairman of VCOG, said the group has been effective, and he expects it to continue to be.

It was instrumental in getting state laws passed a few years ago to fight the problem of prescription medical abuse by communicating problems to state officials.

“We’ll be able to discuss mutual problems and concerns, such as homelessness and transportation,” he said. Medical marijuana, if passed, will also be a common topic.

He said a new chairman will be elected when the group meets after Oct. 31.

Kelley said other topics discussed by VCOG have been the Mayor’s Health and Fitness Challenge and school safety.

“I’ve learned a lot from the other mayors,” Kelley said.

Before the decision to end VCOG, there was talk of merging with the Volusia League of Cities and calling it “Volusia League.” Ormond Beach City Commissioner Bill Partington was heading up the transition team.

The League of Cities is made up of all elected officials, and is education-oriented, often scheduling seminars and speakers. It also allows the of-ficials to get to know each other and share ideas.

Partington said the dues will prob-ably increase to make up for the loss of staff, but the league will continue the same functions.

Also, he said, Bik-etoberfest is not a long weekend along U.S. 1. It’s nine or 10 days.

He’s expecting to “get slammed,” Biketober-fest weekend.

Alexi Bairstow, gener-al manager of the Royal Floridian, at the corner of State Road A1A and Granada Boulevard, said another reason bikers are in town is be-cause of the way time-shares are structured.

He said the owners buy timeshare weeks, so if they want to en-joy Biketoberfest, they come down for an en-tire week, instead of just a long weekend.

He said there are 115 units in the main build-ing, and 53 in the newer tower, and at least half of them are occupied

by people in town for Biketoberfest.

He said special event weeks float, so that if the actual days of the event change, the time-share week changes along with it.

“There are 48 time-shares in Volusia Coun-ty,” he said. “So you can

imagine, that’s a lot of people.”

Steve Fritze, manager of the Iron Horse, is also expecting a busy week-end. “So far it looks good,” he said. “The crowds look big.”

He has been open for Biketoberfest business since Oct. 11. He had

three different bands playing music 1-10 p.m. over the weekend prior to the official event.

“There are a lot of people in town,” he said. “It’s like Bike Week. They come down for a whole week.”

It’s hard to compare this year with last year, he said, because last year had a rainy prior weekend.

Mandy Rossmeyer Campbell, of Bruce Rossmeyer’s Harley-Da-vidson at Destination Daytona, said their ven-dors don’t set up shop until the day before the official opening, but the Harley-Davidson store was busy the weekend before.

“We have 500 bikes in the showroom,” she said. “The sales depart-ment is in rally mode.”

She said the Howard

Johnson hotel on the Destination Daytona property is sold out for the weekend.

A new event at Des-tination Daytona this Biketoberfest will be “demo rides,” which are normally only available at Daytona Internation-al Speedway.

“We’re paying to have the truck here,” she said. “There will be free demo rides of the 2015 Harley-Davidson mod-els.”

She said many visi-tors to Destination Daytona during bike events are people who arrive in cars.

“People can park their cars and walk around during bike events,” she said.

Email News Editor Wayne Grant at [email protected].

Donna Craig, Sue Parkerson and Sheila Turner were also welcomed into the Hall of Fame.

Parkerson, a native Floridian, was very involved with trying to save the Ormond Hotel, which was ultimately demolished in the early 1990s.

She has served on several advisory boards, including the Historic Landmark Preservation Board, and is currently a member of civic organizations and garden clubs. She said her motto is “do everything with love.”

Craig is part of a seventh generation of Minorcans born in St. Augustine; her fam-ily moved to Daytona Beach when she was 2. Craig has a degree in psychology and has worked in youth services and as a real estate agent. She said volunteering at Sig-

nature and spending time with her mother are her two most rewarding experiences.

Turner is chaplain for Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center, New Smyrna Beach Police Department and Sisters Alive-Daytona chapter. She is a suicide prevention trainer and serves on several advisory boards. She travels throughout the world as a speaker and instructor.

Also honored was Louise Pickett, chap-lain and spirituality director at Signature. She was activity director for 25 years. She also has worked at Living Faith World Min-istries and is an evangelist volunteer.

City Commissioner Troy Kent and Dep-uty Mayor Bill Partington were on hand to help honor the recipients.

“Our senior population is one of our greatest resources,” Partington said. “Their wise counsel, years of experience — it makes us a stronger, better city.”

Civil Air Patrol Cadets hold open houseThe program for youth centers on aviation, leadership.

During World War II, German pilots fly-ing along the U.S. East Coast were report-ed to have complained to their superiors about those “pesky yellow airplanes.” They were referring to the Civil Air Patrol, which flew over the ocean and reported locations of U-Boats to the U.S. Navy.

Civil Air Patrol planes are still flying out of Ormond Beach Municipal Airport, but today they go on search and rescue mis-sions and to help in emergencies. Before 2011, there was also a Civil Air Patrol at Daytona Beach International Airport, but the two were merged at the Ormond Beach headquarters.

Another big part of CAP is the Cadet program, which held an open house on Oct. 4 for young people interested in the program. For ages 12 through 20, the pro-

gram focuses on developing leadership, aerospace education, fitness and charac-ter development.

“You get to fly,” said Cadet Bryan Le-mus, who attends Matanzas High School, when asked what he liked about the pro-gram.

Cadets get five free training flights in an airplane and three in a glider.

The Cadets meet weekly, with special events once a month, such as a trip to Charleston last summer where they spent a week aboard the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Yorktown.

The cadets rise through the ranks as they increase their knowledge and skill levels.

For information, email [email protected].

Street and Beach Street, according to city documents.

The next step will be for city staff to send the project out for bids.

The project also includes both sides of Granada Boulevard and all four Granada Bridge slopes.

The estimated cost for this project is approximately $975,500, but the FDOT will reimburse the city $950,000, through a joint participation agreement. The city will pay an additional $50,000 for neces-sary modifications to the irrigation system.

The planting design includes medjool date palms, hollies, crape myrtles, cab-bage palms, assorted shrubs and flowering ground covers.

+ St. Brendan Catholic Church celebrates 50 years

Members of St. Brendan Catholic Church and School gathered Sept. 28 to celebrate 50 years of educational service. The Mass was attended by current and former students, as well as Bishop of the Diocese of Orlando John Noonan. Noonan expressed his appre-ciation to all who have supported the school since its founding in 1964.

The annual Parish Family Picnic followed the mass and was sponsored by the St. Brendan School Parent-Teacher Organization, the St. Brendan Council of Catholic Women and Father Eamonn Gill Council 13018 Knights of Columbus.

+ Abuse council receives strollers from Unitarians

The Unitarian Universalist Society in Ormond Beach has no problem lend-ing a hand. The society recently made a donation to the Domestic Abuse Council that allowed the council to purchase 10 umbrella strollers and three kits to make double strollers.

“In the last year, we had nearly 200 children who lived in the emergency shelter,” Danielle Stansbury, shelter Mmanager, said in a press release. “It is common for a mom who is living in shelter to have two or three toddlers and a stroller is often left behind.”

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Bear was relentlessly barking at anything

that made a wave. It was Sunday, and I had

made the executive decision to put all work and laundry aside to take my Rottweiler, Bear, to the dog park in New Smyrna Beach. Bear had al-ready made my morning dif-ficult by spreading my trash throughout the living room and then sneezing in my face, but I was determined to have a good day.

Bear was already well rest-ed from a nap in the back-seat, so I expected him to be

wide awake when we arrived. Not the case. It took at least five dog treats and lots of loud

clapping to awake the snoring beast. He stum-bled out of the car like he had been out late partying last night, and we slowly made our way toward the beach.

Bear made nice with a white, hyperactive pit bull that was intent on getting a local squirrel. They sniffed each other’s butts, barked at the squirrel in unison and went on their separate ways. Total best friend material.

When we made it to the beach, Bear was confused. He barked at the waves and then laid down for nap number two. Desperate to force some bonding time between me and my dog, I lured Bear into the calm waters with a treat. Just like any good mother would do.

He was hesitant at first, but eventually he warmed up enough to the water that he at-tempted to lay down for nap number three — until a wave crashed over his face and he start-ed growling at it.

A man and his golden retriever were nearby

playing fetch in the ocean. Bear was intrigued and slowly started walked over to them. I was intrigued that Bear was intrigued by something — anything — other than food and naps, so I let him go. But instead of running to play, he got close enough just to sit and watch.

“Does your dog want to play?” the man asked, obviously confused. He tossed the ball toward Bear, but the ball just hit him in the face and dropped into the water.

“Sorry, he must be broken,” I said, quoting a line from one of my favorite childhood movies, “Cats and Dogs.” (Basically, in the movie, the dog isn’t playful because he’s a secret agent. I have the same suspicions for Bear.)

“No, he’s not broken,” the man said. “He’s a cop dog. He doesn’t play, he just observes.”

At that moment, Bear looked back at me as if to say, “He’s right and there’s nothing exciting here. Can we please go home and nap?”

And we did.

Bear vs. beach: Wave wins

Emily Blackwood

Bear was obviously not a fan of the beach.

The second-annual Ormond Lakes Fall Fes-tival entertained resi-dents of the community with food, music, a car show, art show, kids’ activities, bake sale and silent auction on Oct 11. Members of the 607-home community gave a donation to take part, and all of the proceeds went to Halifax Urban Ministries. Last year the community raised $1,400 for Libby’s Lega-cy, a breast cancer fun-draiser, and they plan to help a different charity each year.

“It brings the com-munity together,” said board Vice President Jim Pisors.

LeAnn Alexander, event organizer, said the generosity of local

businesses “was over-whelming.”

More than 120 items were donated from lo-cal businesses and resi-

dents for the silent auc-tion.

Troy Ray, executive director of HUM, who was at the event, said

grants come and go, so local support is the key to stability.

“Events like this keep us going year after

year,” he said. He said there are

21,000 families in Volu-sia County living below the poverty level.

+ Amendment endorsements: Right on No. 2

Dear Editor:Good going, guys.

You got it right on all three amendments and for all the right reasons. Even without seeing the disgusting John Morgan video, the evidence that Amendment 2 is just a field day for law-yers, and a gateway to zombieville, is written all over the amend-ment.

I saw first-hand what happens when poorly written legislation becomes poorly enforced law in California. We are witnessing similar impacts on Oregon and Washington right now. I do believe states should be the laboratories for social experimentation. This is precisely why.

ORMOND

Oct. 3Home alone

6:06 p.m. — 1300 Block of Oak Forest Drive. Animal Complaint. Police received a complaint of a dog barking constantly. Once on the scene, the officer heard the dog barking. Peering over the back fence, he saw a small dog that appeared to be locked out and barking to be let in.

The officer rang the front doorbell and additional dogs began to bark at the sound of the bell. No one came to the door. The officer called the number associated with the residence, but there was no answer, so he left a voice message.

The person who had complained said that the barking dogs at the residence are a constant nuisance.

The next day, the homeowner apolo-gized and said he would attempt to keep the barking to a minimum.

Oct. 6Inside job

11 a.m. — 2000 Block of West Grana-da Boulevard. Theft. The loss prevention manager said the suspect, an employee, was responsible for stealing money, as well as merchandise worth about $2,000.

In a written statement, the suspect said she began stealing a year ago. She took one to four packs of cigarettes per week for about six months. The victim said it totaled 30 packs.

The suspect said she also processed fraudulent transactions, and then pock-eted the cash from “returned” items. The suspect said she did this for about six months, and transactions ranged from $20 to $80. In total, she said she took about $2,000. The suspect stated that she took the money to pay for methadone ses-sions. She was arrested and taken to jail.

Locked gate not a help4:17 a.m. — 1200 Block of North U.S.

1. Theft. The victim said someone took scrap shavings from a 55-gallon barrel that was stored outside his metal shop. When the barrels are full, he takes them to be scrapped.

The parking lot is fenced, and a code is needed to open the gate, but several busi-nesses share the parking lot. The victim found a truck on the property that had scrap shavings all over the bed.

As the victim and officer spoke, a person pulled up in a work van, and the suspect identified him as the driver of the truck.

The suspect seemed nervous and later said he was the person who took the scrap shavings. He apologized and said he was low on gas money. The victim said he would not press charges.

Oct. 5Hole in one window

9:08 p.m. — 600 Block of Calle Grande Street. Vandalism. When the officer arrived, he noticed a hole in the suspect’s front window. It ap-peared that a small, round object went through the window.

The officer went inside and the vic-tim found a golf ball on the floor near the window.

She said she first heard a bang-ing noise coming from the backyard. When she went to check, she heard a crash at the front of the house.

The officer checked the perimeter and found nothing unusual. Police checked the golf course next door and found there was no one hitting golf balls. Damage: $100.


The smell of funnel cakes and the sound of screaming children filled the parking lot Oct. 9-11, at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, for the church’s 46th-annual Octoberfest Parish Festival.

Started in 1969, the festival has grown to include over 50 rides and games, Split-the-Pot bingo, a busi-ness expo, various food vendors and music ranging from rock to high-energy country.

“The festival was first held in

1966,” Octoberfest Committee Chairman Ron Nowviskie said. “The church was built in 1969, and the festival became a fundraiser to help with the finances of the parish.”

Though Nowviskie himself doesn’t ride any of the rides, an av-erage of 30,000 people come to the four-day event to do so.

“It’s been through a few genera-tions of residents,” Nowviskie said. “They’ve enjoyed it, and you see people come back. The people you see once a year, you see them at Oc-toberfest. It’s probably the longest-running community event in the area.”

No. 1CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

ARTICLE X, SECTION 28Water and Land Conservation Dedicates funds to acquire and restore Florida conservation and recreation landsFunds the Land Acquisition Trust Fund to acquire, restore, improve, and manage conservation lands including wetlands and forests; fish and wildlife habitat; lands protecting water resources and drinking water sources, including the Everglades, and the water quality of rivers, lakes, and streams; beaches and shores; outdoor recreational lands; working farms and ranches; and historic or geologic sites, by dedicating 33 percent of net revenues from the existing excise tax on documents for 20 years.This amendment does not increase or decrease state revenues. The state revenue restricted to the purposes specified in the amendment is estimated to be $648 million in Fiscal Year 2015-16 and grows to $1.268 billion by the twentieth year. Whether this results in any additional state expenditures depends upon future legislative actions and cannot be determined. Similarly, the impact on local government revenues, if any, cannot be determined. No additional local government costs are expected.

No. 1ENMIENDA CONSTITUCIONAL

ARTÍCULO X, SECCIÓN 28Conservación de aguas y tierras: dedicar fondos para adquirir y restaurar tierras objeto de conservación y recreación en el Estado de FloridaProvee fondos para el Fondo Fiduciario de Adquisición de Tierras con el fin de adquirir, restaurar, mejorar y administrar tierras objeto de conservación, entre ellas pantanos y bosques; el hábitat de peces y vida silvestre; tierras que protegen los recursos hídricos y las fuentes de agua potable, incluidos los Everglades, y la calidad del agua en ríos, lagos y arroyos; playas y costas; tierras de recreación al aire libre; establecimientos agrícolas y ganaderos en actividad, y emplazamientos históricos o geológicos. Para ello se dedicará el 33% de los ingresos netos obtenidos del impuesto especial existente sobre documentos durante 20 años.Esta enmienda no incrementa ni reduce los ingresos estatales. El ingreso estatal limitado para los propósitos especificados en la enmienda se estima en $648 millones para el año fiscal 201516 y aumenta a $1.268 mil millones hacia el vigésimo año. Si eso traerá como consecuencia gastos estatales adicionales depende de futuras acciones legislativas y no puede determinarse. De la misma manera, tampoco puede determinarse el impacto sobre los ingresos de gobiernos locales, si los hubiera. No se prevén costos de gobiernos locales.

Observer ORMOND BEACH

2014 ELECTION GUIDEPAGES 9-12

WELCOME TO THE GUIDEIn addition to the sample ballot

(Amendments 2 and 3 are omitted but can be found on Pages 6-7 of the Oct. 9 edition of the Ormond Beach Observer), you will find a story on the appeal judges (below), plus Q&As with the candidates in the state house race and City Commission, as well as profiles on the circuit judge candidates.

NOTE: Only residents in Zone 2 will have the Kent-Dragone race on their Nov. 4 ballots.

When voters choose whether to re-tain judges in the Fifth District Court of Appeal, they may be interested to know that Florida lawyers have overwhelm-ingly recommended retention for all of them, according to the Sept. 15 issue of The Florida Bar News.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal contains several judicial circuits, in-cluding Circuit 7, which covers Flagler and Volusia counties.

Greg Coleman, bar president, said that the confidential poll lets voters know how the attorneys practicing in the courts assess the judges.

“Once again, as in past years, the re-sults are very positive,” he said.

He said voters can also go to court websites to read decisions.

If a judge is not retained, a new judge must be appointed by the governor of Florida. However, Ludi Lelis, spokes-woman for the Seventh Judicial Circuit, said she could not remember when a judge was not retained by voters in the circuit.

The poll asked if the judges should be retained, and to consider eight at-tributes when making decisions: qual-ity and clarity of opinions, knowledge of the law, integrity, judicial tempera-ment, impartiality, freedom from bias/prejudice, demeanor and courtesy.

Following are judges on the ballot for the Fifth District. The percentage shows the support for retention.

Wendy W. Berger, 82%. A lawyer since 1993, she was appointed by Gov. Rick Scott in 2012.

Kerry I. Evander, 90%. He has served on the appeal court since 2006 and was retained by voters in 2008.

Charles A. Lawson, 90%. Serving on the appeal court since 2006, he was re-tained in 2008.

Richard B. Orfinger, 92%. Serving on the court since 2000, he was retained by voters in 2002 and 2008.

William D. Palmer, 88%. He served as chief judge from 2007 to 2009 and has been on the appeal court since 2000.

Thomas D. Sawaya, 92%. Serving on the appeal court since 2000, he was chief judge from 2003 to 2005.

F. Rand Wallis, 86%. He was appoint-ed by Scott in 2013.

The bar sent out 70,467 ballots to in-state members in good standing and 5,206 participated.

Coleman said bios of all the judges can be found by visiting floridabar.org/thevotesinyourcourt.

“For more than three decades, Flori-da’s merit retention system has worked well,” he said.

JUDGING JUDGESWayne Grant | News Editor

Fla. lawyers: Retain judgesA confidential survey was sent out to Fla. attorneys.


City Commission, Zone 2

n Explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position.I have been a small business owner my entire life, food distribution, construction,

lawn and landscape. The city needs to be run more like a business so we can provide the services the citizens deserve while keeping property taxes low.

n For challengers, what do you disapprove of most in the incumbent’s service in the most recent term?

While I respect the 13 years that Mr. Kent has been on the commission, I feel it is time for a fresh perspective. His most recent vote to raise property taxes are too high and too sudden.

n What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent can’t? I will ensure the voice of the people is heard and respected. I promise to serve with

an open mind, research the issues and make fair and logical decisions.

n What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? If elected, what would you do to address the challenges?

First: so called “zombie houses,” which blight our neighborhoods. I would like to hire a full time “czar” to be proactive not reactive.

Second: vacant storefronts, I would waive permit and inspection fees to any first-time small business.

Third: improvement of U.S. 1. Even though I would like to adjust some of the cur-rent plans, I would continue to work with Volusia County and annex more properties ...

Lastly I would work to bring a dog park to Ormond Beach.

n Explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position.My entire professional career has been about public service. I have been a public el-

ementary school teacher for the past 16 years. I have a master’s degree in educational leadership, and I am a National Board Certified teacher. I have represented Zone 2 in the great city of Ormond Beach since my first election in 2003. I only represent the needs of our residents.

n For incumbents, what votes or other accomplishments are you most proud of in your previous term?

I am very proud that I continue to vote for our city to have the third- (sometimes second-) lowest tax rate of the 16 municipalities in Volusia County. I am also very proud of my work on pension reform within our city. I have never voted to pull the rug out from under our employees. I voted to honor their contracts; however, new hires went from a defined benefit to a defined contribution plan. The results have been extremely positive for our city.

No one has worked harder than me on increasing beach access for our residents. I was successful with the Andy Romano Beachfront Park, and I was also successful getting the Milsap beach approach open. I am not finished fighting for more beach access for our residents.

n What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent can’t? I have the record and character that separates me from my opponent. While I have

spent over a decade working to benefit this community, my opponent has no record of public service. I have spent my entire adult career teaching elementary students and serving the city of Ormond Beach while my opponent has background issues that separate us greatly.

n What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? If elected, what would you do to address the challenges?

• We need to continue our work on locating abandoned (zombie homes) and then keeping the property owner (even the bank) accountable for the appearance of their property. In Ormond Beach we have a set of standards that set us apart from our sister cities. We all deserve to live next to neighbors that hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to their property’s appearance. When the rules are broken, code en-forcement needs to intervene.

• Continue to provide first-class services to our community while maintaining our competitive tax rate. This is something that I work on year after year. I have and will continue to scrutinize every single tax dollar spent by our city. This is a challenge but one that I welcome as your representative.

&QA &

QA

INCUMBENTCHALLENGER

REBUTTALLet it be known that my opponent, Mr. Kent, just voted in property tax increases

for Ormond Beach residents. This is something I would not have done. Property values are on the increase but have not rebounded entirely. We do not need to put anymore hardship on our residents.

I have been the president of my homeowner’s association for more than 10 years and served as vice president of our larger association. Along with my life-time of business ownership, this experience will help me greatly serve as an Ormond Beach City Commissioner.

I am not a career politician. Something must be said for years to go by without anyone challenging the current seated commissioners.

Being an ambassador with the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce is just one of the ways I currently give back to my community as well as all the donations of time and money to local charities my wife and I support.

The abandoned/distressed/bank foreclosed on properties are a big concern, and I would appreciate if my opponent and the other politicians would stop using them for placement of their campaign signs.

Note: The increased beach access for residents has been the work of the entire city commissioners, not just by my opponent.

REBUTTALOur city runs like a well-oiled machine. We went from 426 total employees

when I was first elected, to now having 363 total employees. In Ormond Beach we not only “talk the talk, we walk the walk.”

As your commissioner, I have saved our taxpayers money while keeping our city services at a premium level. Just to be clear, I have been on the commission 11 years, not 13 as my opponent states in his answer.

I voted to keep our tax rate the exact same rate it was last year. I am proud of the fact that Ormond Beach has the third-lowest tax rate out of the 16 cities in Volusia County.

As a reminder, I have for the past 11 years and will continue to host “Coffee with the Commissioner” (an open meeting for all Ormond Beach residents) at my home — 130 Magnolia Drive — the first Monday of each month from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Ormond Beach residents have a direct line to me, their commissioner, at these informal meetings. I share valuable information about our city during these gatherings, but most importantly, I have and continue to learn from my con-stituents about our amazing city.


Florida House of Representatives, District 25

n Explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position.A Florida legislator must have a view point that works for all constituents and not

one that is dictated by ideology and big money interests.My background has prepared me to deal with many of the problems Florida faces.

Two important concerns are the deficiencies in our health care and educational sys-tems. As an MBA with a specialization in health care and as both a former hospital administrator and adjunct professor in economics and marketing, I fully understand how solving these issues are directly related to a healthy population, a thriving econ-omy, and the creation of good jobs. As a former small business owner, I understand the needs of other business owners and can champion the issues that challenge them and their employees. Having served on numerous not-for-profit boards, I have col-laborated with people from all walks of life, with differing approaches, to achieve suc-cessful end results. Lastly, as a Mom, the hardest job I have had, I understand the needs of women and children in our communities.

n What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent can’t? This election clearly gives the voters a distinct choice between the priorities each

candidate would champion in Tallahassee.I believe that women deserve equal pay for equal work, that our families need bet-

ter economic conditions, that our state should accept the Medicaid dollars to cover a million Floridians, many of them veterans and their families, and that we need to protect our environment.

I believe in a strong public education system, while my opponent wants to divert our tax dollars to subsidize religious and private for-profit schools.

I believe that family planning should be done by the family and not by politicians in Tallahassee. My opponent’s public statements and voting record show otherwise.

I believe my opponent’s unworkable, regressive sales tax plan would be an econo-my depressant and would send needed local government taxes to Tallahassee to be distributed by Tallahassee politicians.

I will have a different approach to communicating with the voters. I will conduct frequent town halls on issues being considered in Tallahassee, not after the legislative sessions have passed, but during session.

As a retiree, constituents will have a full-time champion for their interests.

n What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? The most significant concern that District 25 voters face is how special interest

money controls the agenda in Tallahassee. Consequently, it is these special interests that are being served instead of the average person. It is a perversion of the demo-cratic process.

Among the many challenges we face are how we develop a vibrant economy, a sus-tainable environment, and produce a well-educated and healthy workforce prepared to enter today’s and future job markets. I will work every day to be responsive to the needs of not only my constituents, but of Florida as a whole. My experience as a me-diator, and my strong communications skills, will enable me to work across the aisle to help enact legislation that will benefit our district. My knowledge of finance and economics will enable me to interpret the issues and put into action legislation that will empower our citizens.

n Explain how your professional career so far has qualified you for this position.I am blessed to genuinely love practicing dentistry. To have a successful dental

practice, you must determine a vison, listen to your patients describe their needs (and wants), inform patients of their options, and help them prioritize within their resources. Sometimes the resources aren’t there to achieve optimal health.

To be successful in public service, one must listen, prioritize and then weigh op-tions within available resources. Sometimes the resources aren’t there to satisfy the community standard our residents seek. At the local level, we must either find ef-ficiencies, cut other budget items, lower our expectations or as a last result, raise rev-enues. However, the responsibility of the elected state official is to prioritize and live within the revenues available. Fortunately, Florida’s Constitution requires a balanced budget. If state resources are deemed inadequate, we must grow our economy to in-crease revenue. By way of example, we prioritized and cut expenses and taxes in 2011 and 2012 (including painful temporary education funding cuts) so Florida’s economy could grow and thus provide more revenue to better fund education. It is working!

Until this question, I had not consciously realized how well my dental career pre-pared me for public service by the experience I gained in listening and helping pa-tients prioritize within their financial resources.

n What would you contribute to this office that you feel your opponent can’t? I have the local and state public service experience (mayor of Ormond Beach 2002-

2010 and state representative 2010-2012) to be effective in Tallahassee, as demon-strated by my being one of only three of 120 State Representatives to be honored as “Defender of Home Rule,” the Florida League of Cities highest honor.

Effective advocacy for policy legislation involving significant reforms is often de-pendent upon building relationships. I am fortunate to have close relationships with the House leadership team — even after refusing to sponsor legislation requested by the majority leader which resulted in increased respect from representatives on both sides of the aisle.

Additionally, as a small business owner endorsed by both the Florida Chamber and the National Federation of Independent Businesses and health care provider and former member of the Halifax Hospital Board endorsed by the Florida Medical As-sociation, I am well positioned to understand Florida’s needs regarding legislation to stimulate job creation from both a big and small business perspective and to address the significant health care reforms that must be enacted.

As far as the cannot or will not part of the question, I am confident that my oppo-nent will not be married to a Volusia County School Board member. My wife, Linda, and I look forward to bringing the local education perspective to Tallahassee to advo-cate for legislation that will benefit Florida’s students!

n What are the three most significant challenges facing your constituents today? Jobs and Florida’s economy. We must decrease unnecessary regulation, decrease

litigation by passing tort reforms and enact revenue-neutral tax reform to lessen the property tax burden on homeowners.

Education. We must make investment in education our No. 1 priority. We must continue reforms, including expanding parental choice of schools and requiring in-creased accountability from our educational system, while decreasing testing not specifically designed to benefit students and offer alternate educational pathways to success including increased vocational/technological training options.

Environment. We must improve and preserve Florida’s water quality and quantity through partnerships with property owners, various industries, local governments, water management districts, state and federal agencies; we must protect Florida’s springs, rivers and estuaries by eliminating failing septic systems and eliminating dumping of contaminated byproduct or treated sewage into our rivers by industry or government agencies while we increase the use of treated effluent for agriculture and, most cost effectively, we must create a culture of conservation to decrease the per person use of potable water.

REBUTTALAs a former health care executive, professor of economics and a small business

owner, I applaud my opponent’s dedication to his full-time practice of dentistry. As a resident of Ormond Beach, I appreciate all the years that he has given to our community as a local politician.

However, I believe that the time has come for a different approach to Florida’s challenges. I believe that Florida is heading in the wrong direction, and current thinking does not help the average citizen. I am against making it harder for people to vote, siphoning taxpayer dollars from public education to support private schools and raiding our trust funds to balance the budget.

In health care, in education, for women’s issues, veterans’ needs, equality and fair wages and our precious environment, we have significant opportunities to cre-ate a better Florida for all citizens, not just the special interests that have been the focus and beneficiaries during the past decade. Serving as a full time repre-sentative, I will help change the course in Tallahassee.

We need a Florida for all Floridians!

REBUTTALWhile serving as a representative, I reached out to freshmen Republicans and

Democrats in an attempt to “co-sponsor” at least one of their bills if it would:• reduce regulation, accomplish tax reform keeping property tax dollars local

or enact tort reform to encourage expansion of Florida’s economy stimulating job growth,

• improve educational outcomes for all Florida’s students, including making scholarships available to low-income students trapped in failing schools, empower our teachers, eliminate excessive testing, avoid teaching to a test and make fund-ing education our No. 1 priority and,

• protect Florida’s natural environment.I plan to again reach across the aisle. Needless to say, this is not typical.I support women receiving equal pay for equal work, a baby’s right to life and

a waiver program to use federal dollars to fund health care for needy Floridians. My voting record shows I stood up to special interests and for local “Home Rule” rather than supporting expansion of Tallahassee’s reach.

The success of my dental practice is based upon listening, evaluating and pri-oritizing before treating. Combined with the experiences gained while serving as Ormond Beach mayor and in the Florida House, these experiences have prepared me well to serve you effectively!


Kathy Weston

‘I want to serve the community by working hard

and making the right decisions.’Kathy Weston stays busy. As a single

mother of four children, she not only works full time as counsel at Cobb Cole, but also is active in the community.

In Ormond Beach, she’s on the city Budget Advisory Board, legal counsel for the Historical Society and has served on the board of directors for the Chamber of Commerce. She’s been active at her chil-dren’s schools, serving on advisory coun-cils and coaching soccer. She is also pres-ident of the Tiger Bay Club and a member of Daytona Beach Rotary.

“I want to set an example for my chil-dren,” she said.

If she wins the election for circuit judge in the 7th Judicial Circuit, things will change, a little. For one thing, a judge can’t solicit for charities. But Weston in-tends to stay active.

“It’s important to not disappear after the election,” she said. “You need to be out there meeting people, so people are not afraid of judges.”

Weston currently handles family law at Cobb Cole. “The best part is helping people,” she said. “That’s the part I love. Emotionally, it can be more difficult, but it’s very rewarding.”

Weston has been a trial attorney for 15 years. She spent five years litigating tax cases against the IRS in Chicago, and became a civil litigator after returning to Florida 10 years ago, focusing on busi-ness disputes.

Weston first became interested in the law while a student at Seabreeze High School and working at the Daytona Beach Shores Police Department. While attending Stetson University, she worked

at the Daytona Beach Police Department and eventually became a police officer.

“I’m not afraid of hard work,” she said. She got her law degree at Notre Dame. Weston says she wants to be judge be-

cause, “I want to serve the community by working hard and making the right deci-sions.”

One of challenges facing the court sys-tem is docket overcrowding. Weston said she wants to use technology, such as vid-eo conferencing, to speed up the process. But she said technology will have its lim-its, because people without computers need to have access to court documents.

Weston said she had been endorsed by seven retired circuit and appellant judg-es, the Volusia County Deputies Associa-tion, and former State Attorney General John Tanner.

Weston said there is a need for people to step forward and serve as judges.

She said the circuit is losing a lot of tal-ented and experienced judges through retirement.

“I want to be sure some are doing it for the right reason, and not just looking for a government paycheck,” she said.

Weston said there is sometimes a per-ception of unfairness in the court system, and she is committed to maintaining the integrity of the judiciary. She said she has worked hard to maintain a reputation as an honest and ethical attorney and will maintain that has a judge.

“You sometimes hear people say they didn’t get a fair shake,” she said. “That’s another reason for a judge to be involved in the community. People will under-stand more about how things work.”

Adam Warren

‘The most important qualifications I have are my honesty, personal character and

commitment to following the law.’Adam Warren loves the law. It started

at an early age, listening to his dad, Dan, a Florida state attorney, and his mother, Stasia, a county judge, talk at the dinner table.

“The law was always there,” he said. “From an early age, my parents taught me the importance of public service.”

His father, as a state attorney in the 1960s, was involved in civil rights issues and prosecuted the Ku Klux Klan.

Warren said that when he was growing up, his parents would also take him to court to watch jury trials.

“Dad would talk about the issues,” he said. “I was always asking for more infor-mation. It was interesting.”

One thing he was taught, he said, is that the law must always be followed, and it can’t be changed by a judge’s feel-ing or opinion. He said that if elected, he will bring professional ethics and a com-mitment to follow the law to the job.

Warren said he has received endorse-ments from Diane M. Matousek, the clerk of the Circuit Court for Volusia County; Mary Jane Henderson, an attorney and former Volusia County judge; Steven DeLaroche, attorney and former Volusia County judge; and attorneys Jason Harr and Michael H. Lambert.

Warren has been a licensed attorney for 10 years. For seven years, he worked as assistant state attorney in the 7th Ju-dicial Circuit. He said he not only gained trial experience but also advised police officers on legal issues.

He also worked as a law clerk in the 5th District Court of Appeal, making recom-mendations to affirm or reverse circuit

court decisions. He currently works in private practice, focusing on criminal de-fense, family law and civil litigation.

“I am the only candidate with both civil and criminal courtroom experience,” he said. “Working as an assistant state at-torney taught me how to manage large dockets. I will apply my strong work ethic to move cases to a timely and just dispo-sition.”

The circuit judge for the 7th circuit could be assigned to family court or de-pendency court, but still would be re-quired to handle some criminal cases and be on call to make decisions involv-ing warrants, etc.

The large volume of cases that our judges must manage is an important is-sue facing our courts, Warren believes, and he said technology should be used to alleviate the problem. Warren said that currently, some judges use automated scheduling of hearings, which can elimi-nate a lot of time spent calling back and forth. Also, video conferencing could be used for first appearance hearings to re-duce operational costs, he said.

“Judges must ensure that cases move forward as quickly and as economically as possible while protecting the rights of all litigants,” he said.

Warren said being a judge is not just about professional experience; it is about who you are as a person.

“My father often said anyone can lean the law but few have the integrity and honesty to be a judge,” he said. “I believe the most important qualifications I have are my honesty, personal character, and commitment to following the law.”

7TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, GROUP 20

Stories By Wayne Grant | News Editor

MAINLAND CRUISES 41-7 OVER OVIEDOThe 6A top-ranked Buccaneers (7-0, 2-0) extend-

ed their win streak on the season to seven with a 41-7 win over the Oviedo Lions Thursday, Oct. 9, at Daytona Municipal Stadium.

The Lions opened the game with a successful drive down to the Buccaneers’ red zone, and then Bryan Gregory picked off Nick Carbone’s pass.

“After I got the interception, the offensive momen-tum picked up,” Gregory said.

Mainland quarterback Denzel Houston took the Bucs down the field and connected with Kaylo Hannah for a 14-yard touchdown pass. On a long third down, Houston found the end zone, when he scrambled 23 yards to extend the Bucs’ lead to 12-0. Just before halftime, Houston hit running back Adrian Killins on an 11-yard touchdown pass to take the lead to 18-0. Houston finished the first half with over 200 total yards and three touchdowns.

Mainland came out for the second half and drove down field, and Killins found the end zone a second time on a 1-yard run to put the Bucs up 25-0 over Oviedo. Oviedo would get a defensive score from a fumble recoveryto cut into Mainland’s lead 25-7.

On Mainland’s next possession, Killins ran 80 yards for his third touchdown of the night to put Mainland up 33-7. Mainland scored its last touch-down on a trick play, when Houston threw the ball to Cyrus Fagan, who then threw it to a wide open Will Collins for 56 yards.

The Bucs’ defense has not allowed a second-half point this season. Gregory caught two interceptions in the Bucs’ territory to help continue their streak.

“I couldn’t have done it without the help of my D-line getting pressure on the quarterback,” Gregory said. “The fact that we haven’t given up any second-half points shows that we finish. We fight hard until the end, and that comes from our coaches pushing us hard at practice, having us run in the dark when the lights go out.”

Mainland will play the New Smyrna Beach Barracudas Friday, Oct. 17, in New Smyrna.

bryan’s song By Jeff Dawsey | Sports Writer

When Bryan Gregory takes the field, he sees his teammates’ dads supporting their sons, but his dad is nowhere around. Before his sopho-more season, when Gregory even-tually became a starter, his dad was sentenced to six years in prison for drug-related charges.

“When he first went to prison, it affected me a lot,” Gregory said. “Our relationship was starting to grow, and then he left again. He won’t get to see me play until I’m in college. I look around and see all the dads out here, and I think, ‘Where is mine?’”

Gregory, a senior, struggled on and off the field when his father was incarcerated. His father used to come to the practices and games when Gregory was a freshman, but then he was gone. Gregory began to emotionally shut down to every-one around him, until he eventually broke down at one of Mainland’s in-spirational events.

“It upset me because I was al-ways there to take him to his foot-ball games, but I understand why he was hurt,” said his mother, Latoya Gregory. “That was his dad. ... I know it’s hard on him seeing all the other players’ dads out there but not his.”

Latoya Gregory has always been there for her son. She took him to get his first haircut. She’s the one who taught him the importance of an education, also.

“Bryan has been going to a private school all of his life, until he started going to Mainland,” she said. “I told

him that he could stay at Mainland, if he kept his grades up. He knows that God comes first, grades next and then football. If he hurts his leg, the coaches will pick somebody else. So, I always tell him he has to get his education.”

“My mom stays on me about my grades,” Gregory said. He has re-ceived interest from Ivy League schools, according to his mother.

Gregory has been able to get past his father not being at his games, and he’s now making a difference on and off the field.

“After a while of knowing that he wasn’t going to be here, it just mo-tivated me,” Gregory said. “I have a little brother who looks up to me, and I know I have to be a good figure in his life.”

Very few high school students have as many responsibilities as Seabreeze’s Olivia Squires.

In addition to Squires being a student and volleyball player for the Sandcrabs, she is involved with the following: Tomorrow’s Leaders, Seabreeze Culinary Academy, the National Honor Society secretary, a member of the Florida Elite National Volley-ball team, Girl Scouts Ambassa-dor, Save our Seas Club, and she is a part-time employee at Sun Dollar.

When asked what she doesn’t do, Squires replied, “Sleep.”

“I have one busy daughter,” said Laura Squires, her moth-er. “Olivia knows that her best chance for college success is to be well-rounded, so that is her goal.”

Olivia Squires believes that she received her work ethic from her parents. Laura Squires was a music agent at the William Mor-ris Agency in Beverly Hills and an agent at Hawaiian Tropic Promo-tional Model, and her dad, Gary Propper, was a former East Coast Surfing Champion, the executive producer of the first three “Teen-age Mutant Ninja Turtles” mov-ies and the former manager of Gallagher and Carrot Top.

Squires has had a heavy load of responsibilities since she was young. She competed in mul-tiple sports as a kid until she fell in love with volleyball.

It was assumed that Squires would be forced to rest from all

her responsibilities, when she broke her hand in Seabreeze’s volleyball match against Deltona on Tuesday, Sept. 23.

“I tried to convince myself that I had just jammed my fingers and kept on playing because my serve was coming up,” Squires said. “When I swung to serve, I realized I couldn’t open my hand. I completed some suc-cessful serves but then realized the pain was more than just a finger jam.”

Squires went to the hospital on

the night of her injury and was told to rest the next few days.

“I tried to talk her into staying home from school the next day, but she refused,” Laura Squires said. “She said that there were too many people counting on her, and she would just fall be-hind on everything, if I forced her to stay home, so I didn’t. In fact, we left early for school the next day because I drove her, so I could park and walk her to her locker to help open it and get books out.”

Squires has remained steady at her fast-paced, busy lifestyle. Because of her hand, she’s had to hold off on participating in all that she’s normally involved with.

“I am not able to play volleyball at all,” Squires added. “That’s the hardest thing for me. In all other areas I can get someone to help out with writing notes, typing, etc. Not being able to play in the games is extremely maddening.”

Although Squires has been sidelined from any game action, due to her broken hand, Squires has still managed to contribute to the team.

“Olivia can’t play, but she still tries to practice with one arm,” Tarisa Craig-Craggy, Seabreeze’s coach, said.

“Even though I can’t play in the games now because of an in-jured right hand, I’m still part of the team,” Squires said. “As part

of that team, I want to keep im-proving myself. Instead of wast-ing time by just sitting there dur-ing practice, I figured now was a good time to learn how to use my left hand. Maybe if I master that, next time I hurt my right arm or hand, I can still play in the games with my left. It never hurts to have a Plan B.”

Squires hopes to attend Flori-da State University in the fall of 2016, in order to earn her under-graduate degree, and then she will determine whether to apply to law school or to advance her education in radiological sci-ences.

“Olivia has very little down time with all of her commit-ments at school, community ser-vice projects, sports and a part-time job,” Laura Squires said. “I anticipate that Olivia will have a very successful adult life, and I could not be more proud of her.”

Grace Lutheran Church opens 12th-annual pumpkin patchThe Ormond Beach church was delivered over 1,800 pumpkins this year.

You haven’t seen a 4-year-old run until you put him in a pumpkin patch.

Eric Palacious Jr. darted up and down the aisles of pumpkins at Grace Lutheran Church, desperately trying to win first place at a race that only he was aware of. Meanwhile, Matthew Niblett was testing his own strength as a toddler by picking up a pump-kin that was almost half his size. After stumbling a few feet, he realized he was better off picking a pumpkin he could handle.

Niblett and Palacious were just a few of the 91 students of Noah’s Arc Preschool who wandered through the church’s pumpkin patch Oct. 14 — a tradition for 12 years.

“It’s a fundraiser for the various ministries for the church,” Sue Under-wood, preschool administrator, said. “It’s primarily for the youth, but we also do a lot with other social minis-tries that help people in the area. It’s all for the kids.”

On average the pumpkin patch brings in around $4,000 for the church ministries, and this year the church was delivered 1,875 pumpkins to sell.

“It all makes a difference,” Under-wood said. “The majority of it has been for the youth to send them to camp because it’s an older congrega-tion so there’s not as many youth. But the ones that are here, we try to give them something special to look for-ward to.”

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2014NEW IN THE OBSERVER: Arts and Entertainment, from St. Augustine to Daytona Beach

DAYTONA STATE | by Shanna Fortier | Community Editor

Diversions

Since its inception 50 years ago, the Daytona State College photography program has grown and developed

with the change of the industry, attract-ing accomplished faculty and producing renowned alumni.

Dan Biferie, photography program chairman, has been involved with the program 46 of those 50 years. He first en-rolled as a student in 1969, when what was then Daytona Beach Junior College began offering an associate of science degree in photography. Biferie recalls that as a piv-otal year for him and his career, citing a professor who inspired him to under-stand the art of photography and define his goal of becoming a teacher himself.

While making his way for Fort Lauder-dale to take a job as a teacher at The Art Institute, he stopped off to see his old pro-fessors. They interviewed him on the spot and, to his amazement, he is still there 40 years later.

“Some people gasp when they hear that, but I have to say that in a field like this, there has always been opportunity for me to develop and grow profession-ally,” Biferie said.

Biferie has seen the program evolve with the opening of the Southeast Mu-seum of Photography, which is celebrat-ing 35 years, and a partnership with the University of Central Florida, which is cel-ebrating 10 years.

But the biggest change Biferie has seen is the dawn of the digital age.

“Photos became more complex, re-quired a whole new set of skills,” he said. “But ultimately what sets the photogra-pher apart is not the camera or technol-ogy, but the ideas that they have and their ability to communicate their ideas.”

Photography has changed over the years, not only in the tools but with the mobile devices. Biferie sees this affecting the pro-fessional field in both good and bad ways

“Now, everyone with a phone has a camera, and so now everyone is taking pictures,” Biferie said. “And that doesn’t make them a photographer any more

than having a typewriter or a computer makes someone a journalist.”

This is a challenge Biferie said he works through with his students while preparing them for their careers.

“There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a young student skyrocket in their career,” Biferie said.

Celebrating alumniTwo graduates of DSC’s School of Pho-

tography will share their insights 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Hosseini Center Ballroom, Daytona State College, 1200 W. International Speedway Blvd.

Stephen Crowley, a 1975 Daytona State graduate, is considered one of the major influences working in photography today.

In 2002, he was named Photographer of the Year by the White House News Photog-raphers Association for a portfolio that in-cluded his essays, “Voices of Afghanistan” and “A Day in the Life of President Bush.” The same year, the Pulitzer Prize for Fea-ture Photography was awarded to Crow-ley and four other photographers at The New York Times for work produced during the war in Afghanistan. In 2005, American Photo Magazine included Crowley on its list of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.

Lawrence Cumbo is a 1992 graduate of Daytona State and forged a successful ca-reer as a documentary filmmaker, writer and producer before purchasing one of America’s oldest movie theaters four years ago and transforming it into a cultural arts landmark. The venue is the home of the Smithsonian Channel music series, Opera House LIVE!

In 2002, Cumbo filmed, wrote and pro-duced “Search for the Afghan Girl,” the story of Afghan refugee Sharbat Gula, whose photograph first appeared on the cover of the National Geographic maga-zine in 1985. The film was nominated for an Emmy and has won several awards, in-cluding a CINE Golden Eagle Award and a Gold World Medal at the New York film festivals.

The Daytona State College photography department is celebrating 50 years with events showcasing alumni Monday, Oct. 20, and Tuesday, Oct. 21.
