County leaders expect big improvements in 2019

Volusia County’s strong economy should allow it to make great improvements in 2019, county offi-cials told citizens in the annual State of the County address at the Ocean Center Jan. 15.

“We positioned ourselves very well in the last cou-ple of years to take advantage of economic develop-ment,” County Chair Ed Kelley told a crowd of about 600.

Some achievements include expansion of B. Braun, a medical products maker; the opening of OneDaytona, a retail and entertainment center; plans by Brown and Brown to build a new head-quarters and the opening of the Hard Rock Hotel.

Daytona Beach International Airport, which has

completed $35 million of taxiway improve-ments, added a daily flight by Silver Airways and seasonal flights by Sunwing, and Delta Air Lines and American Airlines are both added capacity.

Looking to 2019 Chair Kelley said, “We will begin several projects at the airport.”

He also noted improvements in quality of life in Volusia.

“This year we celebrate over 20 miles of new trails and many more to come. We have a beach environ-ment like no one else. Our artificial reef program got a boost with the sinking of the Everglades and Lady Philomena,” he said.

But, Chair Kelley said, “All of this rich community life means nothing if we don’t take care of our most vulnerable (through) Hope Place, First Step (Shel-

ter) and more. Hope Place has a 90 percent success rate of getting people rehoused. We expanded (Votran) service in New Smyrna Beach and added new ser-vice in Deltona.

“All of us deeply care about this county and its communities,” he said. “We continue to work for the good of all. Volusia County is one of the best places to live, work, play and raise children and grandchil-

Daytona Beach Interna-tional Airport now offers a new route to the Caribbean Islands with the addition of Silver Airways.

Silver began offering daily flights to Fort Lauderdale Jan. 17. The airline offers connecting flights to Key West and the Bahamas, and other destinations through its ticketing partners United, JetBlue, Avianca, Azul and Brazilian Airlines.

The airline has formed a partnership with the Dayto-na Tortugas, becoming the team’s official airline, and giving an aircraft a paint theme of Tortuga One.

Steve Rossum, CEO of Sil-ver Airlines, said at a rib-bon-cutting ceremony Jan.

17, “We are really proud of the airplane and we are really proud to be serving Volusia County and surrounding communities. The area is so wonderful and it is beautiful. The employees of Silver are really excited to be here, this is going to be a great market for us. We are going to bring you the world here.”

Ryan Keur, president of the Daytona Tortugas, noted it is the first-ever partnership between a minor league baseball team and an airline.

“We’re so excited to wel-come Silver Airways to Day-tona Beach and know they like to have fun like the Tor-tugas,” Mr. Keur said. “We’ve always had such a longstand-ing partnership with the air-port. When Silver decided it was going to start service

Wildlife biologist: ‘Coyotes are here to stay’

Catherine Kennedy, a wild-life assistance biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, didn’t give area residents much hope on coyotes.

“Coyotes are here to stay,” she said in a presentation to area residents Jan. 16 at the Ormond Beach Senior Center.

The presentation was initi-ated by Ormond Beach Police as calls from residents have increased both in Ormond Beach and New Smyrna Beach where there was another pre-sentation.

Jo Ann Owens, lead com-munity service officer for the Ormond Beach Police Depart-ment, said, “More people have been moving into the area and (thus) more complaints. There are a lot (of coyotes) on beachside and unfortunately the cats go missing. They are everywhere now.”

Ms. Kennedy stressed the need for people to coexist with

the animals, which live in every county in Florida and every state in the country. She emphasized how coyotes do an incredible job eating rodents; insects, such as cock-roaches; other pests; and smaller predators, helping bal-ance the ecosystem. The aver-age size of a coyote in Florida is 28 pounds.

On the negative side, given the opportunity, coyotes can include endangered species as part of their diet.

The biggest concern is the danger to small dogs and cats.

Human conflict is almost non-existent. Ms. Kennedy presented statistics showing domestic dogs are responsible for 1,000 emergency room vis-its per day. Coyote have been responsible for two human fatalities in 46 years (and those two may have been accus-tomed to humans through ille-gal feeding), compared to 176 by dogs from 2010 to 2014. Coyotes can carry rabies, but that also is rare with one case in the last 20 years compared

to 1,800 cases for raccoons. In terms of pet safety, what

is crucial, according to Ms. Kennedy, is never feeding coy-otes, which is illegal in Flori-da, and securing food.

Cleaning up pet food, not leaving garbage out and clean-ing up fallen bird seed are rec-ommended interventions. Coyotes won’t eat bird seed, but they will seek out the mice that do eat the seeds. Cats should be kept indoors and dogs kept on leashes and supervised when they are out-doors. Never run from a coy-ote, but rather make noise and frighten them away.

Before letting a pet outside, the yard should be surveyed, Ms. Kennedy said. One option is to establish human domi-nance by rattling bells or something noisy to scare any-thing away that might be out there. Hazing is an effective technique that scares coyotes by making noise through any number of methods, including

With Daytona Interna-tional Speedway revving up for the

annual racing events, I thought it might be relevant for us to talk about the very first speed weeks.

That happened in 1903 at Ormond’s beach and included the beach at Daytona. It should be noted that back then, Ormond and Daytona did not include the word “beach” in either official title. In fact, Daytona was only on the mainland and had no presence on the barrier island at all. What we now know as the central portion of Dayto-na’s beach was then composed of the two towns of Seabreeze and Goodall.

After arriving in February, “Senator” William Morgan was able to convince the managers of the Hotel Ormond to sponsor a beach racing tournament in late March. That rush act was done in order to take advan-tage of the snowbirds that added to Ormond’s popula-tion each winter.

With so little advance notice, the speed tournament was only able to attract two bona fide race cars, the Bullet of Alexander Winton and a frail looking little race-about belonging to inventor Ransom Olds that Morgan christened “The Pirate.” One other car

attended that claimed to be a race car, but the tiny Ste-vens-Duryea was more along the lines of a modern go kart.

Also in the line-up was Oscar Hedstrom of the Hendee Corp. with a motor-ized cycle he called “The Indian.”

To fill out the field, Morgan added five local passenger cars (of which there was a scant few.) Two of those were Olds’ Curved Dash models that were driven by area doctors. At the time, the Curved Dash runabout was the most popular automobile in America.

The aim of the tournament was to have the cars run against time in an effort to break the world land speed record for the flying mile, which was then held by a French Mors car. While that was an exciting undertaking, Morgan knew the public wanted to see head to head racing and on March 26 he would stage contests in order to allow the thin crowds to have a chance to place a wager

on the outcome. Also entered was hotel guest

J. F. Hathaway and his little Stanley Steamer. It was he who had written the letter describ-ing the beach that was the catalyst for Morgan’s arrival. On that first day, the steamer did the mile in just under a minute and a half. Slow, but probably the first timed flying mile by a Stanley and good enough for a state record.

H.T. Thomas, driving the Pirate, would do the mile in 54 miles per hour for an Ameri-can record in the lightweight division.

On the second day, the races began from the Seabreeze end of the track to take advantage of a strong tail wind. (It wasn’t until the 1920s that times had to be averaged between a north and south run to eliminate wind assistance.)

On March 27, nature proved to be a fickle master and the winds shifted from the north causing no records to be established. Once more, Morgan entertained the crowd with races between the passenger cars.

On the third and final day, the timed trials would once more begin at Ormond with the wind from the east and having little effect. Hedstrom and his Indian were up first and did the mile in just under 57 m.p.h. That was the first

world record on the beach.Winton would set an

American record in the kilo and 10 miles and The Pirate would also set a lightweight record for the kilo. At the end of the day, Morgan would alert the press to a head to head race between the only two race cars and call it the Ormond Challenge Cup.

Everyone in the hotel and the surrounding area turned out to see America’s two sleekest racers go at it. The race would be Morgan’s stroke of genius that would alert the world to the wonderful track that is the Ormond-Daytona beach. The fact the Bullet won by a couple feet is irrelevant. Photos of those two race cars speeding down the beach would go around the world.

From that small beginning, Ormond would host eight consecutive winter speed carnivals and begin a speed weeks tradition that has endured for 116 years.

here, it seemed like a no-brain-er to get the partnership roll-ing.”

Areal officials and residents are excited about the new air service.

Shari Simmons, executive director of the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Com-merce, was one of the first pas-sengers on the full aircraft.

“I’m so excited. It is such a great economic benefit in our community,” Ms. Simmons said. “It is going to drive a lot of business here in Daytona and expanding out to the west. We couldn’t be happier.”

Another inaugural passen-ger, Johanna Latzo of Ormond Beach, plans to use the airline

regularly. “I used to live down there and I am going to go and help a friend run a business there. I moved here because the cost of living is cheaper. All my friends and my family are there. I love it and am super excited,” Ms. Latzo said.

Silver’s service started at the county-operated airport just as JetBlue was ending its daily flights at Daytona.

Volusia County Council Chair Ed Kelley said, “Some-times you take one step for-ward and two steps back. This time we are taking one step back and three steps forward. I think they will be successful.”

Silver Airways is owned by Versa Capital Management, LLC, a Philadelphia-based pri-vate equity investment firm. It is based in Fort Lauderdale

with a maintenance facility at Orlando International Air-port.

To celebrate the new non-stop service between Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Silver is offering fares from $43 at silverairways.com for travel on or before Jan. 31 with ticketing before Jan. 31. It has $59 fares for travel on or before May 22 for ticketing before Jan. 31.

“DAB is excited to welcome Silver Airways to our commu-nity,” Airport Director Rick Karl said. “Since the initial announcement, we have received tremendous feedback for the new service to South Florida and beyond. We look forward to a very successful and mutually beneficial part-nership with Silver.”

dren. A place we are all proud to call home.”

But the County Council also faces challenges in 2019, including hiring a city manag-er and accommodating Amendment 10 requirements to create five constitutional officers, depending on the council’s appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn it.

Roadway needs, infrastruc-ture work and water quality and quantity were cited as additional ongoing projects. City partnerships were also deemed important along with a half-cent sales tax that will assist unmet needs that exist, identified in 2018.

“We have zero debt in our general fund,” Chair Kelley said.

In February, a new sheriff ’s evidence facility will open, already paid for.

County goals also include having thriving communities by promoting health and safe-

ty, providing services to meet the needs of citizens, and prac-ticing stewardship of the envi-ronment. Also, for economic and financial vitality, working on job growth, industry bal-ance and financial soundness. Lastly, for excellence in gov-ernment, fostering partner-ships to deliver exceptional services. Volusia’s vision is “to be a community rich with resources and opportunities

today and for generations to come.”

Citizens also were urged to serve on advisory boards. To apply for a board, visit volusia.o r g / g o v e r n m e n t / c o u n -ty-council/advisory-boards.

“coyote shakers.” Myths about coyotes include

fallacies about their size, that they run in packs, they carry disease, or that they act like “Wiley” of cartoon fame.

Eradication efforts fail as

coyotes are adaptable and intelligent animals. Removal efforts can include humane trapping or hiring a trapper.

Ms. Kennedy asked, “Are coyotes good, are they bad, are they ugly or are they just try-ing to make it in a tough world?

“There are lots of things we can do to protect our small

pets and children,” she said. “The most important of these is to take responsibility for our actions. We need to learn to live with wildlife just as they have made it pretty clear they are willing to live with us.”

Rants & Raves

Thanks, Officer CheksfeldOn Nov. 24, my new bicycle was stolen from our bicycle stor-

age unit. New Smyrna Beach Police Officer Stephen Cheksfeld was

assigned the case and never gave up looking for it. On Dec. 26, he brought me a day late Christmas present. He is a wonderful, caring young man! I am very thankful.

In response to: “Too cold for comfort”

My husband and I went to Big Lots on Wednesday, Jan. 17, and we left before finishing our shopping, because it was so cold in the store.

I am always on the cold side, but when my husband thought it was too cold, something is wrong. If they want our business, the corporation better change their policy and put the heat back on. I was glad to see someone put this in the paper as none of us older customers will be shopping at your store.

Christmas Angels

I was in Halifax hospital the week before Christmas. I made mention to a friend that we haven’t even gotten a

Christmas tree yet. Two nurses on the second floor, cardiac ICU, and offered to buy us a tree and bring it to our home and set it up.

We were and still are touched by the display of thoughtfulness and caring. Nurses truly are angels and, thank you to the ones who took care of me in Room 243.

Another warning about SpectrumRead every line of your bill, and be persistent to resolve mis-

takes. Spectrum began charging me $5 a month for Epix channel,

which I never ordered.I didn’t notice it, and paid it for four months. It took two

months and four phone calls to get a refund. They were only going to refund three months, claiming “ I must have ordered the channel or it wouldn’t have been billed to begin with.”

I spoke to a supervisor, demanded they review all of their computer data to prove that I had ordered it. In the end,they refunded all four months.

Empty the trash can, pleaseIn New Smyrna Beach, the bus stop shelter’s trash can used to

be emptied by 20/20 media and for awhile now, no one seems to be maintaining the trash cans.

I wish the city would remedy this.

In response to: “No more afternoon movies”The theater decided a year or so ago to have $5 movies up until

4 p.m. If I wanted to see a certain movie and it was popular, it was scheduled at 4p.m., which would cost me $7.

So, in reading this person’s complaint about no more after-noon movies, I’ve never liked this organization. Now they want top dollar, forcing everyone to show up at 4 p.m. That’s why no more early movies. They were $5. Like we can’t figure this out. Also they might not be making enough money at $5 to open early.

This group makes decisions to get people in the theater, then, without consideration, dumps us. We’ll have to meet in front and car pool to Port Orange. That ‘ll work.

Giving back

Photo courtesy of Callan Group Communications The East Central Chapter of the Florida Swimming Pool Association recently donated $1,000 to the Volusia/Flagler YMCA in DeLand. The money was raised by FSPA members with a new corn hole fund-raising event. The funds will go towards swim safety and lessons for children in the community. Chap-ter President Larry Drumb of Pool Renovations by Larry presented the check to Pete Hicks, executive director and Ginni Hiers, aquatic director, both from the DeLand Branch.

Speed Weeks jobsAmericrown, a subsidiary of

Americrown hiring events are at 525 Fentress Blvd., Day-tona Beach. Positions available include supervisors, cooks, bartenders, servers, suite attendants and runners.

Speed Weeks begins with the Rolex 24 at Daytona and ends with the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 17.

Employment growth and tourism slowed toward the end of 2018 in Volusia

County, casting a shadow on an otherwise great year for the economy.

Of course, the employment report for December is just estimates from the state labor agency, but they show the jobless rate at 3.5 percent, up from 3.2 percent in Novem-ber. Employment was down about 1,300 jobs with a corresponding drop in the labor force of half of that and a rise in unemployment accounting for the other half.

Judging by the separate non-agricultural jobs report, apparently a company, or more than one, that supplies business or professional services cut back on the workforce. We’ll eventually find out more with the quarterly census of employ-ment.

But while the employment report is an educated guess, the bed tax report for Novem-ber is actual numbers. Overall bed tax collections in Volusia were up 3.54 percent from last year, but down .6 percent in the Halifax area which accounts for the bulk of the

collections. It was the second month in a row the Halifax area was down, too.

Hopefully these trends don’t carry over into the new year and, based on other reports, they shouldn’t. But you can’t help but be nervous in these turbulent times.

***

Continuing with the bad news, sorry, the Tanger Factory Outlet Center suffered its first big closing with the VF Outlet going out of business. It occupied a big unit at the northeast corner. VF Outlet also closed its Vero Beach store.

***

On the other hand, more residential development is apparently on the way. Plans are moving forward for Walkers Green, a 390-acre

residential development, just south of Andros Isles, between Interstate 95 and Williamson Boulevard in Daytona Beach. Also, a developer is planning an 83-lot single-family residential subdivision at Lake Crystal near State Road 11 and Spring Garden Boulevard in DeLand.

***

The attack of the conve-nience stores continues. Vertical construction is set to begin on Wawa at Granada Pointe in Ormond Beach. The first business at Geosam Capital’s Coastal Woods development will be a 7-Eleven at State Road 44 and Sugar Mill Drive in New Smyrna Beach. At the rate 7-Eleven is going with building new stores and converting Sunoco stores to its brand, eventually you may be able to walk a short distance to a 7-Eleven from anywhere you live in East Volusia. You’re safe West Volusia – for now.

***

The only commercial real estate deal of note was the sale

of a mitigation bank near Oak Hill, along I-95, south of Osteen-Maytown Road, for $10.4 million.

***

On a final note, some other developments include site work starting for a Chase Bank at the Shoppes at OneDaytona, 1808 W. International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach. The rest is in Ormond Beach with permit-ting continues for new office/warehouse and RV and boat storage for Total Comfort Heat & Air on U.S. 1, just north of Ormond Lakes. FUGU Restaurant is planned at 26. N. Beach St. and plans are continuing to demolish the old Julian’s restaurant building on South Atlantic Avenue and replace it with a gift shop.

In Osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together resulting in pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?Advanced live motion sonography allows us to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. We prepare and introduce regenerative tissues into your knee (or other af-fected joint) and the healing process begins. Stem cells are the building blocks of nearly any tissue type, ie are multipo-tent, and support soft tissue supplementation and possible regrowth! This treatment also quickly reduces pain, inflam-mation, and swelling of the joint. Most patients describe the treatment as getting a shot at the doctor’s office and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT ACTUALLY IS A STEM CELL?Stem cells (also called mesenchymal cells) have the excep-tional ability to take on the behavior and characteristics of their surrounding cells. As such, following a stem cell knee repair procedure, the injected cells may become special-ized for the knee and, over time, may help to regenerate the damaged cartilage and other tissue. Results will vary among patients, but many report experiencing pain relief in as little as one week. You have probably recently seen many professional athletes in the news using stem cells to regenerate their bodies following a sports injury (including Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning). Stem Cell Therapy for joint repair is used for acute and chronic injuries, knee meniscal tears, loss of knee joint cartilage, and to stop the progression of degenerative arthritis.

WHEN WILL I FEEL RESULTS?Most people feel better as quickly as one week and can begin enjoying everyday activities within a few days following the treatment. Healing and regeneration continue for several months afterwards, further recoveringmore function in the joint and supporting tissues.

IS IT AFFORDABLE?Yes. Our clinic has made stem cell treatments affordableand within reach of most people. Imagine eliminating theneed to wear a knee brace or the dependency on antiinflammatories or opioids.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS TREATMENT?Do you wake up with knee pain? Does your knee painkeep you from certain activities? Have you been told youneed a knee replacement? Are you active and sometimessuffer from sore knees? Do you take medications for kneepain? Do you have difficulty going up and down stairsdue to knee pain? Are you considering surgery to alleviateknee pain? Have you tried everything to get rid of kneepain with no success? If you answered yes to any of thesequestions, you are ready to apply to see if you are aneligible patient candidate at Coastal Integrative Healthcare.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT THIS IS RIGHT FOR ME?In many cases, regenerative medicine is a solution for kneepain. Our medical staff will give you an honest and fairevaluation of your particular knee pain. We are pleased toannounce that we have opened up our schedule and weare now accepting new patients.

Jill Pope is January’s artist of the month for the West Volusia Artists Inc.

Her oil on canvas, “Bridge at St. Augustine, 2017” is on display at the Wayne San-born Events and Activities Center in DeLand through January.

Ms. Pope said, “This painting reminds me of one of the things I like about living in this area: one can be in an urban area one minute and in a completely natural setting the next. Plein air painters make art in a variety of places; this one happened to be in a small marina near down-town St. Augustine.”

Ms. Pope said as a rela-tively new painter, she has taken several workshops to learn about mediums, tech-niques, styles, tools, colors, composition, tones, values and more.

“There is still much to learn and I think every art-

ist continuously learns” she said. “I also take advantage of the many videos on the internet — the good, the bad and the ugly.”

DeLand became Ms. Pope’s home about three years ago when she moved here from central Virginia and says she has been exploring Florida ever since.

West Volusia Artists Inc. is a a DeLand-based orga-nization founded in 1964.

The West Volusia Artists meet to draw, paint, create and socialize from 9 a.m. to noon on the first and third Friday of each month from September through May at the Wayne Sanborn Activi-ty Center, 815 S.. Alabama Ave. in DeLand. Artists of all media and levels are wel-come.

I love cooking with fresh herbs right out of the garden.

You can taste the rich fresh flavor when you cook. Don’t forget when you cook with fresh herbs, the rule is 1 to 3. Dry herbs have other ingredi-ents to accent the taste. If you use 1 teaspoon dry oregano, you will need 3 teaspoons of fresh oregano to get the best flavor from the herb.

Now back to my lovely wife and her green thumb, or should I say, “Hands of Death.” It is hard for me to describe her gardening talents. When she is around, all plants should fold up and hide underground. There is an avocado seed in a glass on the window sill for the past two years that has not yet sprout-ed. How is that possible?

I had planted several herbs in pots and stored them on our back patio to use for cooking. It was wonderful. I loved it until one day she decided to move them to a new spot because she com-plained the patio was always wet and black dirt was everywhere. She also offered to take care of the plants. I quickly agreed without thinking.

Each year I mourn that day as “Scorched Earth Day,” the day when all my plants went to herb heaven. The plants were moved to the other side of the house and in direct sunlight all day. The water supply was on the opposite side of the house and you would have to hand carry a watering pot to hydrate the plants. I can still remember hearing the cries of plants at night. “Water, water.” Finally, I gave up on the idea as one plant after another dried up and croaked.

Now to my wife’s tree. Rosemary grows well in the Mediterranean areas and close to the oceans. The Latin name means, dew of the sea, which makes it ideal for Florida. It can be used to cook with chicken and meats of all types. It is part of the mint family.

Down through the centu-ries is has been used for many different purposes. Breathing in the herb would cover up terrible smells and clear the head. It is used in weddings to make a wedding wreath worn by the bride. The wreath symbolized fidelity, love, and abiding friendship. Rosemary is used to prepare many dishes in our home. It is especially good with lamb.

I love it, so it was time to try to grow a fresh herb again. I brought home a rosemary plant, around 15-20 inches high, and presented it to my wife. She loved it and told me exactly where to plant it, near the front door of the house in an area when she sits outside. To my surprise, it flourished! Maybe because it is near a sprinkler and has partial shade in the afternoon.

I used it regularly, and it kept on growing and growing and growing in every direc-tion. I made the suggestion to trim it back so it would fill out rather than up. She wanted no part of it. Leave it alone she said. Now it is a six to seven-foot tree at the front door.

For some reason she is very taken with that tree. I wonder if she has been reading my food history books. During the 1500s, a common saying was: “Where rosemary flourishes the lady rules.” Do you think she really believes that? She didn’t need a tree to convince me, I always knew it.

Here is a great rosemary recipe — enjoy!

Lamb RackChoosing lambI prefer to used USDA

Choice Lamb rack, not imported Australian or New

Zealand. They are good, but a little more gamey, U.S. lamb is milder. You might need to shop around. I think Winn-Dixie and Publix carry USDA lamb and Australian lamb.

Run a knife down each bone to chop about an inch into the meat. Do not cut too deeply. This will allow the meat to form into a rack if you desire, and it will cook internally faster.

MarinadeUsing a plastic gallon zip

lock bag add: ¼ cup olive oil¼ cup red wine1 teaspoon chopped

rosemary leaves1 teaspoon dry oregano1 teaspoon prepared

mustard (or Dijon) 1 garlic glove, mashed1 teaspoon kosher salt1 fresh lemon-add juice to

ingredients and add a piece of the lemon to the bag

Place all ingredients into the zip lock bag, mix well and add lamb rack. Lay in a dish or shallow pan and marinate over night.

CookingI use a sauté pan with a little

olive oil and cook the lamb rack, fat side down, 2-3 minutes then turn over and cook on the other side 2-3 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Pour marinade over lamb rack and roast 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees. Take out of oven, cover and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Should be medium rare inside.

Side dishes like roasted vegetables and potatoes using the marinade from the lamb are a great addition to this meal.

Jacquelyn D’Ercole’s oil painting, “Blue Mountain Winter,” is now hanging in the Deltona City Hall foyer because she is the Deltona Art Club’s Featured Artist for Jan-uary.

Although Ms. D’Ercole had some interactions with art, it was not until she injured her foot in 2014 that she really began to play with color and media. Never one to sit around doing nothing, she filled her time trying out pastels, col-ored pencils and watercolor.

However, it was not until

she took a trip to Santa Fe, N.M. that she was incredibly inspired by the landscapes and art galleries to really dive in to learn painting skills. When she returned home, she found a class at Hobby Lobby, a painting teacher in Judy Mil-likan and was on a path to learning the skills.

Now she enjoys painting, primarily using oils. “I find it relaxing.” Ms. D’Ercole said. “It also gives me a sense of accomplishment. I love bright colors and using contrasts. I like paintings that have a something just a little differ-ent. I feel I have a lot to learn

but I am really looking for-ward to that. I like to experi-ment and I like to teach myself by trying different things.”

Born and raised just outside Philadelphia, she first moved to South Florida with her fam-ily. She went to school at Ari-zona State University and ended up staying in Arizona and California for many years. But fate brought her back to Central Florida about 16 years ago where she met her hus-band. Now retired from as an occupational therapist, she lives with her husband in DeBary.

The Deltona Art Club,

established in January 1968, is one of the oldest continuing running clubs in Central Flor-ida. All area artists working in any medium are welcome to join the club, which meets the second Wednesday of each month at 9:45 a.m. September through May at the Deltona Regional Library.

The club also has weekly workshop time at the Center at Deltona from 12:30 to 3 p.m. each Thursday at 1640 Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd. For more information, visit delto-naartclub.com or email [email protected].

U.S. News names ERAU top online educator

U.S. News & World Report ranked Embry-Riddle Aero-nautical University as No. 1 in it’s 2019 ranking of the best online bachelor’s degree pro-grams in the U.S.

ERAU’s Worldwide Campus was tops among 348 schools ranked on the 2019 list. It was the sixth consecutive year ERAU’s online bachelor’s degree programs ranked with-in the Top 5 on the list.

It was the only private uni-versity among the top schools. Also ranking within the Top 5

were Arizona State University, Ohio State University, Oregon State University and Pennsyl-vania State University’s World Campus.

ERAU President Dr. P. Barry Butler said, “We are honored to be named No.1 among so many exceptional online edu-cators. The latest U.S. News & World Report ranking will inspire us to sustain and advance all of our award-win-ning educational programs in service to students.”

ERAU Chancellor Dr. John R. Watret added, “Embry-Rid-dle’s online programs meet the highest standards of academic

excellence, and they are also remarkably accessible to all students – from first-genera-tion university students to military members transition-ing back into civilian life. Because Embry-Riddle is No. 1, our students are exception-ally well-positioned to secure rewarding, meaningful jobs, particularly because the avia-tion industry is rapidly grow-ing, yet it faces a global short-age of highly qualified pilots and other personnel.”

According to Dr. Jason M. Ruckert, vice chancellor and chief digital learning officer at ERAU Worldwide, “Advancing

technology-enhanced educa-tion with affordability, aca-demic quality and student suc-cess at the forefront is what sets Embry-Riddle apart.”

The 2019 ranking involved an analysis of some 1,500 online bachelor’s degree pro-grams, based on student engagement, faculty creden-tials and training, peer reputa-tion and student services and technology.

Also, for the fourth consec-utive year, ERAU’s Worldwide Campus retained the top spot in U.S. News & World Report’s 2019 Best Online Bachelor’s Programs for Veterans.

Fishing around the state for more than 50 years has put me in contact with a

variety of strange and interest-ing individuals.

Those of you who have my book know about the red man who lived among the man-groves south of the causeway in Port Orange. The fellow lived in a lean-to atop a small oyster bar and subsisted on vitamins and supplements. Although he was surrounded by fine seafood, he neither fished nor gathered any of it. He had no boat and wore no clothing. None!

Actually when I arrived here in the late ‘60s, there were quite a few squatters living in the inland estuaries. Most had a homemade houseboat that must have been precarious at best in a storm. One fellow had built a hut above water just off the Government Cut in the northern Mosquito Lagoon. He lived better than most for he had illegally tapped into the power lines that crossed the lagoon.

One time around the year 2010, I had just finished lunch at a seafood restaurant on the St. Johns River when a worn out 1980 Oldsmobile pulled up. The car was hitting on only a few cylinders and each stroke sent a smoke ring out of the tailpipe. A large, older black woman stepped out with a brown paper bag that she

took out onto the rickety pier. There she pitched a couple handfuls of cat food onto the water and then returned the bag to the car. She took her time getting her cane pole, straw hat and chair into position on the dock and, when she sat down, the water at her feet was alive with large bluegill eating the cat food. I watched as she landed a half bucket of perch in about 20 minutes. She would tell me she had been doing that same thing twice a week for more than 30 years. A pretty good fisherman.

In the 1990s, Lana and I, with our two kids, were over on the west coast to snorkel for scallops. As it turned out, we were met with a strong storm and had to resort to plan “B.” We went in search of blue crabs and smoked fish for lunch.

That turned out to be more difficult than I had consid-ered, but finally we came upon a little hut out over the water on a long skinny wooden walkway. A handmade sign read “Smoked Mullet.” The door to the little 10-foot by

10-foot cabin was hanging open and I called out a “hello.” “Come on through, I’m out back,” a deep voice answered.

As we went through the cabin, the stench of the place would make your eyes water. Outside sitting in the sun was an old salt right out of central casting. When I asked him if he had smoked mullet, he answered that he did indeed and added “I’m enjoying one now.” The man was picking at a fish carcass with grimy fingers and in his beard was flecks of smoked fish I could tell were not all from that day. He told us as soon as he finished his meal, he would pull us out some, but we beat a hasty retreat. “Maybe later,” I said.

Once, Lana and I were in Key Largo staying with friends on the Atlantic side. Each evening we liked to walk west to watch the sun go down on the Gulf. We would go through a trailer park so old the roots of the banyan trees were securing most of the units against the storms.

There I met a Cuban fellow who had made a small rectangular boat and equipped it with an electric trolling motor. He also had a small solar panel that would keep

the battery charged. When he asked me if I wanted a ride in the boat, I couldn’t resist. He took me out about a hundred yards to the wreck of a small boat.

In the clear water, I could see the wreck was teeming with small fish. He told me he had a minnow trap back on shore and would fish the wreck each day for his dinner. Smart – and free fishing.

Well, those are but a few of the great characters I have met while fishing Florida. Another time I will tell you of more.
