The Historic Sanford Wel-

The Sanford City Commis-sion approved a resolution Monday to spend up to $30,000 for materials and fur-niture to partition the first floor into offices. The plan was proposed by Mayor Jeff Triplett who abstained from voting on the measure because he had presented in his role as the president of the Greater Sanford Chamber of Com-

ing Class of 2020. “An investment in learning pays the best interest. Be grateful for how far you’ve come; have faith in how far you can go; go confidently into the direction of your dreams; and don’t forget to enjoy the journey.

• Marvin "Wayne" Allen II, com-

pleted his coursework this past week and is now a graduating sen-ior at Morehouse College (Atlanta, GA) in the Class of 2020. He resides in Maryland with his parents, Mar-vin Wayne Allen I and Charlene Stallworth Allen (formerly of San-ford), but he will always consider Central Florida his home. Many proud relatives, including his grand-father, Deacon Lemuel Stallworth of Sanford, continue to cheer him on from the Sunshine State; and there are very few places that bring him as much joy as being in Florida where he can reconnect with his musical roots.

Wayne earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music with a concentra-tion in vocal performance. Because of campus closure and social dis-tancing affiliated with the COVID-19 Pandemic, commencement exercises have been postponed until December of this year; he is sched-

uled to receive his degree officially in June.

Wayne will be attending Indiana University (Bloomington, IN) in the Fall to pursue a Master's Degree in Opera and Vocal Music Pedagogy (education). He grew tremendously as a vocal performer and had many valuable experiences during his time at Morehouse, including serving as President of the Morehouse Glee Club and being a member of the ac-claimed Morehouse College Quartet his senior year. Majoring in vocal music at this Historically Black Col-lege and University (HBCU) for men in a city with strong ties to decades of civil rights activism also provided him frequent opportunities to sing for and be in the presence of many great political leaders, humanitari-ans, and celebrities while there.

Other accomplishments worthy to note from his undergraduate experi-ences include studying opera in Salzburg, Austria during the sum-mer of 2018; and the following year, being the featured soloist in a Black Lives Matter Musical Tribute, "The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed", which was written by Joel Thomp-son, a young Black composer, for full symphony orchestra and a male chorus. Thompson's seven-move-ment choral composition pays hom-age to the memory of seven unarmed Black men who suffered untimely deaths in this country; it has been performed in several cities since it premiered in 2016. In March 2019, the Morehouse Glee Club and

the Florida A&M University (Talla-hassee, FL) Concert Choir per-formed this piece along with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra; and Wayne sang the solo in the Third Movement. A recording of this performance can be viewed online at: youtu.be/15k2MoIAuyc. Read the online summary of the composi-tion, “The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed”, at www.wikipedia.org.

In 2019, Wayne was selected to sing at Carnegie Hall as a featured performer during a college music festival; he was chosen to sing at St. Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church in Bermuda for several of their Christmas and Easter Concerts; his international travels include singing with the Glee Club in Alge-ria.

Classical music is in Wayne's blood. He credits his maternal grandmother, the late Sylvia Ham-mond Stallworth of Sanford, with inspiring him to perform music as a career. Her influence was not lost on him, as he will continue her legacy of keeping hymns, spirituals, and classical choral music alive in our community and in the world. Con-gratulations and best wishes for con-tinued success to Marvin "Wayne" Allen II.

• Morehouse College, founded in

1867, enjoys a proud tradition of producing outstanding leaders; and its mission remains steadfast: to pro-duce academically superior and morally conscious leaders for the

The prestigious Morehouse Col-lege Glee Club, founded in 1911, is the official singing organization of the College. Made up of music and non-music majors, the group offers the opportunity for students to learn choral technique, vocal production, and diction by applying them to a wide variety of choral literature in-cluding classical works, African music, music by African American composers, arrangements of spiritu-als and more. The group has a long tradition of significant public ap-pearances, i.e., at Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral, President Jimmy Carter's Inauguration, 1993 Super Bowl and the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. International performances include tours in Africa (Senegal, Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda, and Nigeria) , Russia, Poland and the Caribbean. The group appeared on the soundtrack for the movies “School Daze”, directed by Morehouse alumnus Spike Lee and “Miracle at St. Anna”, and in performance with the Atlanta Sym-phony Orchestra and Atlanta Sym-phony Chorus under the direction of Robert Shaw in the television spe-cial Christmas with Robert Shaw.

THE ARREST REPORTAt least he’s trying to work

Police responded to a WaWa in Altamonte

Springs after an employee said a man had stolen beer and then rode off on his bicycle.

While canvasing the area the police were able to catch the man. They also noted that the man had several warrants for larcenies he had committed over the past few weeks. When they interviewed the man he told po-lice he regularly “takes orders” from random individuals in the area and then steals the beer and sells it to them. They found $10 in his backpack, which he said he stole two 12-packs to earn.

Dudley Farrier, 43, of Winter Park, was charged with larceny and trespassing and taken to the Seminole County jail.

Yosemite Sam

Sanford police were called to Travertine

Terrace after several neighbors reported a man who seemed very agitated was scream-ing and shooting a gun.

When police arrived the neighbors said

they saw the man sitting in his vehicle and screaming into a phone. They said he rolled down his window, pulled out a black hand-gun and began shooting. Nearby residents began yelling for everyone to “get down,” but one neighbor was able to catch video of the incident. Police secured the handgun in the man’s vehicle and checked with his spouse, who he was on the phone with, to make sure she was O.K.

Herman Stepp, 33, of Belle Isle, was charged with firing a weapon from a vehicle and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and driving under the influence.

Hold my tattoo gun

A woman contacted Child Protective Serv-

ices after a strange incident occurred with a child she knew.

The woman said she was getting a tattoo from a man, and their children were playing together. While he was completing the tat-too, the woman said he stopped several times and abused his child. Finding this be-havior bizarre, the woman collected her

child and planned on leaving. At this point, the other child’s mother insisted the woman take her child as well and the father said, “take her, don’t bring her back, just take her.” After watching the other couple’s child for almost 24 hours, she finally contacted the authorities. When they interviewed the child she said her father often abuses her and sev-eral other family members admitted they had seen the abuse, but were afraid to tell anyone because the child’s father was a member of a gang.

Lorimel Rivera, 33, of Altamonte Springs, was charged with two counts of cruelty to-ward a child. Meredith Pena, was charged with one count of child neglect.

Somebody reached a new low

The non-profit Million Mask Challenge

contacted police after they suspected a fraud had occurred.

They told police they had given 262 masks to a woman under the pretense that she would deliver them to another member of the organization who would distribute them.

The masks had a value of $4,300. Members of the non-profit said they attempted to con-tact the woman, but could never get a hold of her. They eventually realized she was sell-ing the masks for $4 each on Facebook Mar-ketplace.

Anna Lieble, 27, of Sanford, was charged with grand theft and fraud.

Hit and run through

Employees of the PDQ called police in Al-

tamonte Springs because a man in the drive through had hit another vehicle while passed out in the driver’s seat.

When he got to the window employees told him to pull forward to wait until the fresh chicken came out. Instead of chicken, the man got interviewed by police where he admitted he was high. Police also said the car smelled like marijuana. He told police, “Don’t remember much from the past 48 hours…I think I’m a little too high.”

Christopher Otero, 20, of Orlando, was charged with driving under the influence and taken to the Seminole County jail.

merce. The plans call for a series of

small offices to occupy the space that now houses a retail area for visitors. Among the offices would be a new up-front one for the Chamber, ad-jacent to a new office for Triplett as head of the Cham-ber.

There are actually two con-figurations, but there would also be offices for the Main Street organization and the Community Redevelopment Agency. The Seminole County Arts Council would remain in its spot on the eastern side of the building. The Welcome Center office would remain in the back of the building, but they may have something to say about that before final plans are made.

The current Chamber office would become a conference room. There would also be a classroom and a small com-puter station with high speed internet connection. An infor-mation desk would direct visi-tors to offices in the building and an Internet cafe rounds out the plans.

The business resource buildout, as the plans are called, was not on the agenda, but presented at the end of Monday’s Commission meet-ing by the mayor.

Triplett envisions a busi-ness center with resources that could help businesses startup or grow or even stay afloat during difficult times such as the current pandemic.

Someone who wants to start a business, for example, can come in and talk with the various groups. They could form a checklist of what they have to do to start a business. Some of the people on the checklist would already be in the Welcome Center, Triplett said Thursday. He was out-side the building working on

a display for graduating high school seniors.

During his presentation to the Commissioners Monday, Triplett said he had broken down the expenses to get the building renovated from about $250,000 to $27,000.

He wanted to get much of that purchased from a St. Louis, Missouri, company called Starrco. He said there would be a 45- to 60-day lead time once a deposit was made on the materials.

Triplett mentioned that there are future discussions that would have to take place about having an employee to run the place. There has been talk among the various groups that a multi-party agreement could be reached.

But the fact that one hadn’t been reached before ordering materials led to a conflict. The mayor stepped back from the voting because, he said, he would have an office in the new plans.

For the Commission meet-ing, that meant Commissioner Art Woodruff would direct the discussion and vote on allo-cating the $27,000. It could come from the city or the CRA, the mayor said. That caused some confusion among commissioners, and Woodruff had some misgivings about moving forward without an operation plan in place.

Commissioner Patty Ma-hany said she was confused because she thought the money would come from the city, not the CRA. Where is the best place for the funding to come from, she asked.

“I think both the city and the CRA have a vested interest in it, and I plan on there being a CRA representative in there,” Triplett said. But it did-n’t matter to him where the $27,000 comes from.

“For such a little amount of money to get that operational can be easily found in Nor-ton’s (City Manager Bona-parte’s) purse strings,” Triplett

said. The mayor acknowledged

that there would be further modification needed in the fu-ture, including work on the four inside walls, air condi-tioning modifications, bath-room work, in addition to exterior work on the building that’s going on right now.

Mahany made the motion to spend up to $30,000 to get the project started. Commis-sioner Patrick Austin sec-onded the motion.

Woodruff said he thought the plan was going to be for a business incubator space, not the CRA. The mayor said he had to cut one office because of limited space in the build-ing.

“Which organization is going to be responsible for making sure the building is open during the public hours?” Woodruff asked.

Triplett said that was for a future discussion. The Wel-come Center group is there through September or Decem-ber, according to various peo-ple at the Commission meeting. Welcome Center President Derrick Daniels would later tell the Herald that there actually is no con-tract right now.

The mayor made it clear that the Chamber could not afford to take the responsibil-ity for the center. It is a city building he said, and the Chamber is a tenant. He told Woodruff he didn’t know ex-actly how the operations would work.

“So it sounds like we don’t have an operational plan?” Woodruff asked. “I’m a little reluctant to say let’s put $27,000 into reconfiguring the building not knowing exactly how we are going to operate the building.”

The mayor replied: “Well, I’m telling you there’s going to be an operational plan come, but if we don’t get the offices there is no operational plan.”

“Well, how long do you think it will take to get the op-erational plan together?” Woodruff asked.

“I don’t know,” Triplett said. “You want to write it?”

Laughing, Woodruff replied: “No, because I’m not one of the group’s in there.”

Triplett said the four or five groups involved could sit down and work all that out.

“The point was that taking the Welcome Center is a great location to service our busi-nesses downtown,” Triplett said. It would depend on everyone’s willingness and ability to fund the operations.

“So now I’d be happy to write that down for ya, but …” Triplett started to say be-fore Woodruff said:

“Well, I guess who’s going to sign the agreement with the city that says the building will be open these hours to service the people coming from the AutoTrain, or are we getting to the point are we just saying we’re not going to do that any more?”

“No, we’re saying we ab-solutely want to do that,” Triplett said, “but how we’re going to do that, with doing this, I think we can take the cost associated with having an employee, paying a full-time employee to sit there, or two or three or four employees to sit there during those hours can be greatly reduced.”

People in the building al-ready can do some of the visi-tor interaction.

Triplett said: “Because hon-estly, either Kim or I are al-ways there, Donna Bundy from the Arts Council is al-ways there, the Welcome Cen-ter, they’re there, Main Street is going to have an executive director when they get all their stuff finalized, we’re going to have to have people there. Right now, everybody’s hidden behind closed doors in the back and around the sides because it’s basically consid-ered a retail center that stores

luggage for Auto Train people, so we gotta make a change, if we want to make a change to a more business style, Internet cafe, business service group, workforce group, this is the start of that change and how it has to look, in my opinion from a Chamber perspective and from a city perspective.”

“Well, are you expecting the city to help fund this em-ployee, or are you saying the groups that are in there are going to fund the employee?” Woodruff asked.

The groups in there would not want to fund the whole amount, but a shared agree-ment could work, Triplett said.

The Welcome Center would change from a retail outlet and information booth to a busi-ness center, he argued. He told Woodruff that he would work on an operational plan if that’s what was necessary, but if Woodruff wanted to maintain the status quo at the Welcome Center, he was not going to in-vest any more time.

Woodruff replied that he likes the idea for the business center.

“I’m concerned that we’re jumping ahead to reconfigure the space without knowing exactly how it’s going to be operated,” Woodruff said. “I

mean that’s been sort of the sticking point all along is the keeping it operational. You’re telling me the Chamber does-n’t want to take on that re-sponsibility by itself, but you think that the groups together will but that you’ll probably want some funding from the city which you know we haven’t been willing to do be-fore when the Welcome Cen-ter was there.”

“That’s the way you make the big money, man, you gotta make the decision, how you want it,” Woodruff said.

Mahany jumped in to try to mediate the situation. She said she could see both sides.

Austin said at some point, the city would have to fund someone for the Welcome Center.

Woodruff argued that the city would be funding some-thing different now. After a bit more discussion, he called for a vote. With the mayor ab-staining, the measure passed to spend up to $30,000 to get started.

“Art, I understand your hesitation on it, but I think you’ll be pleased with the out-come,” Triplett said with the tensions clearly eased.

“Can I get that in writing?” Woodruff asked.

“No,” the mayor replied.

SNARKY McSNIDE SAYS,

Fourth of July The City of Sanford has cancelled its

Fourth of July fireworks celebration. The reason given is that Sanford is a caring city and wants everybody to be "safe".

The merchants and restaurateurs are

not feeling too "safe" as their livelihood disappears.

Here is a suggested open letter from

the President of the Sanford Chamber to the Mayor.

To: Jeff Triplett, Mayor, City of Sanford Dear Mayor Triplett, As President of the Sanford Chamber

of Commerce, I represent a number of merchants and restaurateurs who are suffering tremendously from the "lock-down" supported by you, Mayor, and the City Commission. We were looking forward to the end of the "lockdown" and the resumption of normal commer-cial activities.

We anticipated that you and the City

would see that the crisis is winding down and would want to go forward with our biggest moneymaker, the Fourth of July fireworks celebration.

We are talking about our Independ-

ence Day. The day we celebrate our re-volt against the tyranny of the King of England. Don't trade that one for a tyranny run by the Health Department.

People want to get out and about. If

you could see your way to changing your mind and convincing the commis-sion to back you, Sanford's celebration would be the biggest yet and would go a long way in showing our Chamber members that the City of Sanford "cares" about us, too.

Mayor, you and I go back a long way,

some people even call me your alter ego.

Please reconsider your decision, it

will help me earn my keep. Because of the present hysteria, the namby-pambys in Altamonte are not putting on a show. Besides, I think we can get a good deal from the fireworks guys. We can have the best and biggest celebration we have ever had.

I ask this on behalf of our members

and the citizens of our fair city, Respectfully yours, Jeff Triplett President, Sanford Chamber of Commerce.

#BelieveAllJournalists By Erick Erickson   

When COVID-19 began im-

pacting the United States, a vocal minority of conservatives began making statements that wound up being betrayed by the truth. For example, a recur-ring sentiment had been that the virus was nothing more than "a bad flu." Many com-pared it to H1N1, the swine flu.

In the 2009-2010 swine flu outbreak, approximately 12,000 Americans died in a year. In the current outbreak, over 80,000 Americans have died in 10 weeks. Some would argue the numbers are overstated, but none will venture to guess how many are overstated. Even as-suming a 50% overstatement, in 10 weeks, COVID-19 has killed many more people than the swine flu did in a year.

Some conservatives pushed back on these conspiracists, and they were joined by the Ameri-can press corps. If the left did the same, these same reporters would surely push back, too.

On MSNBC last week, Brian Williams interviewed the At-lanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bot-toms. Bottoms publicly disagreed with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's decision to re-open the state. Williams, while getting Bottoms to acknowl-edge the reopening had not gone as badly as she expected, said, "There's a robust conversa-tion going on about the quality of the numbers we're all getting out of the state of Georgia."

That robust conversation is a conversation of progressive ac-tivists who, as Republican states in the south reopen, are ignoring the data just as much as some on the right did at the beginning of the pandemic. Re-porters who robustly pushed back against conservative "data truthers" have largely kept silent or amplified progressive data truthers.

There have been some issues in Georgia with its data. But each has had credible explana-

tions backed not just by politi-cians but also by the hospitals and epidemiologists doing the data entry. The great conspiracy of late had been a 231-count spike in cases that disappeared. It turned out those were not positive COVID-19 cases but the results of antibody tests that had to be removed from the data. Much of the national press played up the spike, down-played the reduction or sug-gested sinister motives.

The same has happened in Florida. Rebekah Jones had been the manager of Florida's geographic information system used to geographically display the spread of the virus in Florida. On May 18, the state fired Jones for insubordination. Her bosses, including several epidemiologists, took issue with the data Jones was enter-ing. She purportedly ignored them. Much of the national press claimed Jones was a scien-tist. Actually, she has degrees in journalism and geography and was the manager of the Florida Department of Public Health's geographic information system program. Contrary to media re-ports that Jones singlehandedly programmed all the informa-tion, she managed a team.

The facts of Jones' dismissal did not matter. The press de-cided to portray her as a martyr to accuse Florida's Republican governor of covering up or fab-ricating data on the virus. Actu-ally, Florida has a larger

population than New York and far less cases and deaths. After a press conference where Gov. Ron DeSantis defended himself and blasted reports on Jones' departure, a Washington Post reporter tweeted that DeSantis was bragging about his state's death rate. DeSantis could not win.

Of course, we should have known much of the press is in-terested not in truth but in help-ing Democrats. Eager to play up Christine Blasey Ford's accu-sations against Justice Brett Ka-vanaugh, many of the same members of the press have dis-missed Tara Reade's more re-cent and more corroborated allegations against Joe Biden. The New York Times began gaslighting its readers, claiming the #BelieveAllWomen hashtag on social media had actually been a right-wing stunt.

On CNN, Chris Cuomo has nightly blasted the President, Republicans and anyone who defends them, while giving softball interviews to his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who incompetently handled the viral spread in New York. If he were a Republican, you would know of his incompetence. In-stead, he is sainted by a press that demands we believe them; just pay no attention to their ever-shifting standards for be-lief and credibility. Journalists only care about that if Fox News deviates from media or-thodoxy.

Uber offers Veterans Free Ride to Appointments During COVID-19 Special to the Herald

The Florida Veterans Foundation today announced its part-nership with Uber to create the ‘Veterans Ride Program’ for Florida Veterans who may have limited transportation options when trying to keep essential medical appointments during coronavirus. The program will be overseen by the Foundation who has partnered with The VA Sunshine Healthcare Network (VISN 8) which includes all VA facilities around the state of Florida.  “This is a profound gesture on the part of Uber to rec-ognize the importance of helping transportation disadvantaged Veterans getting to and from their appointments especially dur-ing these difficult times,” said Lew Wilson, President, Florida Veterans Foundation.  Visit www.HelpFLVets.org for a map of participating Florida VA facilities only.

 Veterans interested in participating in the program can con-tact their local VA facility in Florida to receive an Uber code.  Each trip is limited to a $25 value and the supply of free rides is limited to the first one thousand trips. The free ride codes will be issued to Veterans on a case by case basis by each local VA facility after a brief evaluation.  “We’re proud to partner with the Florida Veterans Foundation to ensure Veterans in need are able to move around safely throughout the state. This service will provide Florida Veterans in need critical access to safe transportation amid the COVID-19 public health crisis,” said Stephanie Smith, Senior Public Policy Manager, Uber. 

 For Veterans who do not have an Uber app, they may dial 1-

833-USE-UBER, where the rider will be paired with a live team member that confirms the trip request, provides an upfront price quote (which would be free up to $25 using the free code provided by the VA facility), and uses the same marketplace technology powering the Uber app to help find a ride. To use this feature, one will need an SMS or text-based mobile phone to receive important messages about the ETA, the driver’s li-cense plate details, and the driver’s name. Riders continue to receive messages before and during the trip, and once it con-cludes, will receive a trip receipt. There is no extra charge for using this service, though carrier message and data rates may apply. 

 About Florida Veterans Foundation The Florida Veterans Foundation was established by the leg-

islature in 2008 as a Direct Support Organization for the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Tax deductible contributions help to fulfill its mission which provides a variety of emer-gency assistance programs and services to Florida’s Veterans and their families.  For more information visit http://www.helpflvets.org/.

 About Uber Uber started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you

get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 10 bil-lion trips later, Uber is building tools to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens the world to new possibilities.

PEOPLEA GLANCE AROUND TOWN AND COUNTY

Guest Columnist - Elvis, Keeping the King Alive

Special to the Herald By Kenn Barr

Paul Colon’s connection to Elvis started early. In fact, he was born just a few miles away from where Elvis was giving a perform-ance at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

With musical parents, Paul’s father taught him to play guitar, and his Mom always had music in the house. She was especially fond of Elvis. Paul already had a good musical foun-dation.

Starting out playing his guitar with friends at school, Paul spent his high school years with his guitar playing different songs of the day. He even managed to get paying gigs early on. Time went on, gigs came and went, and in time the spark was lit to do what even-tually became his Elvis show. When we talked Paul was very clear that what he does is a show, not a gig. There is so much more to this than just playing the songs. Paul has period correct costumes that he either had made or worked on himself. Paul painstakingly watched any performances he could, to get

the moves, the detail, everything there was to an Elvis Presley show.

What you are watching when you see him is the result of hundreds of hours of work, re-hearsal, whatever it took to make things per-fect. As Paul says, “I work for Elvis”.

On a show day Paul spends the day focus-ing on his upcoming performance, getting his game face on. By showtime Paul is focused to a razor sharp edge, and before each perform-ance he takes a moment to thank God and Elvis. When it’s showtime he is walked out by the Orlando Mafia and takes the stage. The Orlando Mafia are modeled after the Mem-phis Mafia who were Elvis’s people, they went everywhere with him and took care of him. I had the honor of being a member of Paul’s Orlando Mafia at a show, I never told Paul this, but I had chills walking out there with him. It was as close to the real thing as there is. When I was talking to Paul, I asked him for any final words. He replied, “There is only one Elvis”.

Paul can be found on Facebook, and when the world returns to us, he can be seen at ven-ues across Florida.

CFRH Nationally Recognized with an ‘A’ for the Spring 2020 Leapfrog Hospital Safety GradeSpecial to the Herald

HCA Healthcare awarded 2019 Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award

Special to the Herald

HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA), the parent company of Central Florida Regional Hospital and Oviedo Medical Center, as well as one of the nation’s leading healthcare providers, today announced that it has been recognized by The Joint Commission and the National Quality Forum (NQF) with the prestigious John M. Eisenberg Patient Safety and Quality Award for its pioneering work using artificial intelligence to help reduce sepsis mortality.

 Sepsis Prediction and Optimization of Ther-apy, known as SPOT, received the award for Innovation in Patient Safety and Quality at the national level. SPOT goes by the popular dog name because it sniffs out sepsis in a way hu-mans cannot. Its algorithm continuously moni-tors vital signs, lab results, nursing reports and other data to detect often subtle changes in a patient’s condition and alerts clinicians to signs of sepsis in patients, as much as six hours earlier than previously, so they can take appropriate action.

 “The current public health climate of COVID-19 has emphasized now more than ever the importance of early detection of life-threatening illnesses,” said Dr. Jonathan Perlin, HCA Healthcare’s chief medical officer and president, clinical services group. “We are hon-ored to receive this respected award for our technology that helps clinicians detect sepsis earlier, accelerates treatment, improves the care provided to patients, and helps save lives.”

 Sepsis is an overwhelming infection that can lead to total body failure, taking the lives of approximately 270,000 Americans each year. A case study on SPOT was featured in the May-June issue of NEJM Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery. 

 HCA Healthcare is a learning health system that uses the significant data it collects from approximately 35 million annual patient care episodes to inform and improve the care it provides to patients. HCA Healthcare’s na-tional clinical data warehouse, which receives information from the electronic health record, is the heart of HCA Healthcare’s data ecosys-tem, providing the ability to aggregate and an-alyze data streams in real time and feed tools like SPOT that, in turn, provide actionable in-formation to caregivers.

 The Eisenberg Awards bring together the quality community to recognize groundbreak-ing initiatives in health care that are consistent with the aims of the National Quality Strategy: better care, healthy people and communities, and smarter spending.  

The awards recognize major individual, local and national achievements in health care that improve patient safety and health care quality.

 “This year’s Eisenberg Award recipients have demonstrated both a positive impact on the patients they serve as well as fulfilling the quality community’s mission to ensure that care is measured and can be improved,” said

Shantanu Agrawal, MD, MPhil, president and chief executive officer, National Quality Forum.

 The patient safety awards program, launched in 2002, honors the late John M. Eisenberg, MD, MBA, former administrator of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Qual-ity (AHRQ). An impassioned advocate for health care quality improvement, Eisenberg was a member of NQF’s founding board of di-rectors, chaired the federal government’s Quality Interagency Coordination Task Force and personally led AHRQ’s grant program to support patient safety research.

cers. The video was a lengthy undertaking on part of the team.

“The documentary was approximately two years in the making,” said Bob Kealing, senior public affairs administrator. “This is our most ambitious project to date. We are thankful to the Sheriff for empowering us to do these kinds of videos.”

Kealing had the idea to make memorial videos for all six after the success of their memorial for the first to die in the line of duty, Deputy Sheriff Cleveland Jacobs.

“We wanted to put them all together as another tribute and to call attention to the memorial VI ribbons and decals we display every day on our uniforms and vehi-cles,” Kealing said.

The video starts with Jacobs, who died Sept. 14, 1922. While responding to a report about stolen pants, the suspect shot him in the chest with a shotgun. He joined the force while Seminole County was still undeveloped.

“Deputies like Cleveland

Jacobs, and those men that he worked with during that time, were really, really tough men,” said Sheriff Dennis Lemma. “They displayed great bravery at the time. They didn’t have much back-up.”

Jacobs, 30 years old at the time, left behind a wife. His Aunt Sally made the hood that went over his killer’s head during the execution.

It was 52 years before the county lost another deputy. Robert Moore died while res-cuing people during a fire at a jail on June 9, 1975.

For over 20 years, Moore served in the Army, Air Force and Navy. He survived a year as a prisoner of war in Korea and suffered a knife wound in Vietnam. His wife, Marie Moore, describes his perse-verance.

“He kept on going,” she said. “It was like, kind of washed off his back, and let's go do some more.”

After leaving the armed forces, he became a Seminole County deputy. While serving corrections, an inmate set fire to a stack of mattresses. Surviving inmates noted how he continued to go in repeat-edly, despite running out of oxygen. He died of smoke

inhalation. He currently has the Robert Moore Award named after him, given to those who display heroism.

Reserve Deputy George Pfeil died Dec. 29, 1977. While off-duty but in uni-form, he stopped to pick up a prescription. Unbeknownst to him at the time, a group was robbing the store. Once they saw him come inside, they opened fire.

He was previously a Marine serving in the Pacific theater in WWII. Before becoming a volunteer Seminole deputy, he served the NYPD for 22 years.

“He is one of those people if you knew him, you knew that he would do it willing-ly,” said his son, also named George Pfeil. “He would give up his life to save someone else.”

Deputy Sheriff Hugh Thomas was the youngest to die in the line of duty. He was 24 when he died March 28, 1989. While responding to a call about a prowler, the sus-pect shot Thomas and then turned the rifle on himself.

Thomas joined the Sheriff’s Office at age 19. Ever since he was a kid, he wanted to be a police officer. He displayed a natural talent, officials said.

People who knew him noted that he easily retained knowl-edge of the law and he had great people skills.

“It just seemed like he'd already had training before he came to have his training,” said Dave Commodario, his friend and former roommate.

The team had great prospects for him, believing he would go far.

“If he would not have been tragically taken from us,” Sheriff Lemma said, “he would have been a police chief and a sheriff, and gone on and done remarkable things.”

Deputy Sheriff Eugene Gregory died on July 8, 1998. While responding to a call where a man pulled a gun on his landlord, the suspect shot and killed him.

Gregory grew up on a ranch. His coworkers noted that he liked to adopt a cow-boy aesthetic with the hats he wore. His family remembers him as a good father with a particular sense of humor.

“He had a dry wit and it was sometimes hard to tell whether he was joking, or whether he was not,” said Gene Gregory, his son.

The man who shot him suffered from mental illness.

In the wake of his death, measures have been put in place to make involuntary commitment easier, the video said. Additionally, he had the Eugene Gregory Memorial Youth Academy named after him.

Deputy Sheriff Matt Miller was the most recent death, having died Dec. 26, 2011. In an accident while doing traf-fic enforcement, a vehicle hit his motorcycle. He died from his injuries suffered in the crash.

Miller was a veteran of the Marine Corps. He liked being part of the motor unit due to the bond he shared with his fellow officers.

“Motormen and women have a fraternity amongst themselves,” Sheriff Lemma said in the video. “A brother-hood and sisterhood that is extremely tight, and he liked that fraternity.”

Part of the road where he was killed, a stretch of Maitland Boulevard, was renamed the Matt Miller Memorial Boulevard to honor him. His name also adorns the sides of motorcycles in the motor unit.

Kealing said that he is grateful for the support of the family members in making this production.

“The key to this effort has been the families and close friends,” he said. “Remembering these tragedies evokes grief and loss. We are so thankful for

their willingness to partici-pate and their positive feed-back about the documentary.”

After the showcasing of the deputies, a brief ceremony plays. However, it was not filmed recently.

“The public ceremony you see in the video actually took place last year,” Kealing said.

This year due to Covid-19, the Sheriff’s Office held a sep-arate Standing Watch for the Fallen memorial Thursday evening, which was streamed instead of having a live audi-ence.

The video ends with the narrator stating “that it is our hope, and indeed our prayer, that this number never goes higher.”

Rick McClelland served as the senior multimedia coordi-nator and photojournalist/editor for the video. He used to be a news photographer and specializes in high end offline editing.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office made a simi-lar video. Sheriff Mike Chitwood read off a list of their deputies who died in the line of duty. At the end of the video, officers performed a ceremony honoring the fall-en.

OBITUARIES

Avenue and State Road 415 east of Sanford. In the I-4 crash, the 54-year-old male driver

and his 53-year-old female passenger were thrown off their motorcycle when they lost con-trol on the wet road. They were traveling west-bound and ended up in the westbound lanes. Each was then hit by other vehicles. It was unclear if the initial accident or being hit by other cars killed the Winter Garden pair.

“The medical examiner will have to determine through an autopsy, as to the cause of death,” said Lt. Kim Montes, public affairs officer for the FHP. She said the preliminary investigation by troopers could not determine when they died.

“Troopers believe that the vehicles that struck the victims as they lay in the road did not have time to react,” Montes said. The vehicles were driven by a 48-year-old Longwood man, and a 42-year-old Deltona woman, who had a teenage passenger. She wasn’t sure which lanes the motorcycle riders were in prior to the crash. The crash is still under investigation. Names were not

released because a new FHP policy no longer provides personal information in press releases. Once the crash report is complete, that informa-tion will be given, Montes said.

The Thursday fatality happened at 10:25 a.m. Thursday. A 42-year-old Sanford woman tried to turn left onto northbound 415. She turned into the path of the motorcycle, which was traveling south on 415. The bike hit the left side of the woman’s SUV. The SUV overturned, and the driver was taken to the hospital.

The motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene, Montes said in a press release.

Parts of Celery Avenue and all lanes on 415 were closed after the accident. The roads were not fully opened until 2:42 p.m. Thursday.

Two children in the SUV were not injured. This crash, too, remains under investigation.

Both crashes happened under different cir-cumstances, but a period of lower fatalities and crashes in April seems to be over.

“As more people get back on the road,” Montes said, “they need to remember the basics about following traffic laws.”

In April 2019, she said, FHP investigated 36 fatal crashes. This year for April, there were only 11 fatal crashes.

CRASHESContinued from Page 1

ices, the county fire department and the Sheriff’s office honored those from the armed services and first responders who lost their lives in the line of duty.

County Chairman Jay Zembower read the official proclamation for Memorial Day during the 17-minute ceremony covered live on the county’s Facebook page.

The proclamation asks all Seminole County residents to voluntarily observe a moment of remembrance and respect at 3 p.m. Monday to honor military heroes and their valor.

Veteran Tommy Oliveras, who works in public safety telecommunications for Seminole County, was asked to speak. He served in the U.S. Air Force during Operation Desert Storm. He asked that people remember why Memorial Day is so important.

“It is a day to honor in remembrance all men and women who have given the ulti-mate selfless sacrifice of their lives so that others may live in peace,” Oliveras said.

His speech was followed by a 21-gun salute, the playing of Taps, the ringing of the fire service “final bell,” and “Amazing Grace” played by a lone bagpiper.

In Sanford, on Memorial Day, the city’s Veterans Memorial Park on the waterfront will be ceremoniously dressed with flags and a wreath starting at 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

“This Memorial Day weekend the City of Sanford encourages all to remember the final and noble sacrifices of our service men and women who laid down their lives in the cause of freedom,” a news release said.

In Oviedo, a Memorial Walk has been planned for Sunday, May 24 at 11 a.m. A woman known by many as Navy Mom Mary asked that people contact her and sign in at Mission BBQ at 968 Mitchell Hammock Road in Oviedo. The walk will proceed to a local cemetery, Mary said. She wanted to make sure that military person-nel were remembered even though many events had been cancelled.

“I was afraid that their Memory would not be Honored this year on the only day of the year we as a nation Honor those who make the ultimate sacrifice,” Mary said in an email to the Herald.

Social distancing for the walk will be fol-lowed, Mary said. She added that several Gold Star mothers are expected to take part. Gold Star parents are those whose children have been lost in military service.

To register, email letswalkforthem@gmail.com. Participants will get a memorial flag pin.

WORSHIP GUIDE

Special to the HeraldORLANDO — To everything

(turn, turn, turn); There is aseason (turn, turn, turn); And atime to every purpose, underheaven - - from “Turn! Turn!Turn!” by The Byrds, 1965.UCF baseball coach GregLovelady has been a collegiatehead coach long enough tounderstand how it normally ends.Most of the time the finality

arrives after a loss, whether it’sin a conference tournament orthe NCAA Championship.It often comeswith a teammeet-ing in the outfield— and it occurswith Lovelady reminding thegroup that that moment is likelythe last time that exact group ofindividuals will be together.That sort of season-ending

moment didn’t happen forLovelady and his Knights in2020 — and the UCF coachfeels badly about it.“It was all just taken from us,”he says. “It just magnified thefeeling of loss and despair. This isa great group of kids that changedthe culture of the program.“It’s tough not to say good-

bye and thank them. The hugsand emotions aren’t there theway this played out.”It’s just one of themanifestationsof the ongoingCOVID-19 pan-demic that has affected athletic pro-grams everywhere. It’s a silent andpotentially deadly virus that hasspread a closing veil over collegeathletics seasons across the land.Lovelady has experienced so

many emotions — in a weekunlike anything anyone hasseen—that he has no idea whereall this goes. Every time he andhis staff have another meetingand create a game plan, theworld tilts sideways yet again.It’s no different for the other UCFspring sport teams - - their playersand coaches and support staff.And there’smaybe evenmore of afeeling of disappointment giventhe great starts that somany of theKnightswere enjoying.Lovelady’s baseball team (15-3)stood eighth in the last RPI num-bers for college baseball. CindyBall-Malone’s UCF softball team(21-5-1) was seventh in the initialRPI for her sport. TheKnights’ ten-nis teams bothwere off to top-2510-3 starts— eachwith its own listof wins over ranked opponents.TheUCF golf and rowing squadsall had their share of early brightmoments. The track and field teamhad yet to begin its outdoor slate.UCF finished a best-in-school his-tory 29th in theNACDADirectors’Cup all-sports standings throughthe fall seasons—and it’s safe tosay the combined start of Knightspring campaignsmarked themostnoteworthy in the record book.Now it’s all gone — seasons

left unfinished and players andcoaches left unfulfilled.With competitions andpracticescanceled and classes andworkhap-pening remotely, Lovelady, Ball-Malone and the rest ofUCF’scoaches aren’t surewhen they’ll seetheir players again orwhenpracticeandgameswill qualify as routine.The final act for Lovelady’s

team came on March 11 in a 3-2

home loss to fifth-rankedMiami in front of 2,454 specta-tors at John Euliano Park. TheUCF head coach was drivinghome when he heard the NBAhad canceled its season.“I knew that was going to start aripple effect,” he says. “I got homeandwatched them leave oneNBAgame that did not start and youknew that wasn’t a good sign.”By the next afternoon the

College World Series had beenscratched, along with allremaining winter and springNCAAChampionships. Nextcame online classes and work-ing at home — with both atUCF moving from temporaryto at least semester-long. And itsoon became official that bothpractices and contests for these2020 spring seasons, are done.After UCF’s weekend serieswith Yale was canceled whenthe Ivy League suspended com-petition, Lovelady had given histeam the weekend off. He hadno idea then how close the endof his own team’s season was.“In the beginning you hopedthat maybe it was going to be acouple of weeks and then we’llcome back to play and move onwith our lives,” he says. “Thenon Thursday I was driving andone of my assistants texted methat the College World Series hadbeen canceled. That was a game-changer. It snowballed and gotprogressively worse day by day.”It has been a glut of emotions

for Lovelady — amid the prac-tical ramifications of trying tohelp his players deal withworld realities that change withthe snap of fingers.“We’ve communicated with

our players through the apps

we use,” he says. “I’ve filmedsome messages that we’veshared with the team.“We thought maybe we

would still come back Mondayand practice and yet you didnot really want to come backand just go through themotions. You’re not really surewhat you’re practicing for. Arewe training for the (MLB) draftand summer ball? Are we goingto have games later in the year?“By now, I haven’t called all

the players, but I’ve talked tomost of them, especially theolder guys. Every time I putout a message I call the seniorsimmediately to check theirreactions and see if they aredoing okay. All the assistantshave been doing the samething with their position guys.Eventually I’ll talk to them all.“There are just so many unan-

swered questions for all ofthem. There’s no playbook forthis. We don’t have an end date.There’s no absolute light at theend of the tunnel when we cando this or do that. So it’s hardto give much guidance.”Lovelady and his staff are try-

ing to make sure their playersare set up for various summerbaseball options. Yet they don’t

know if they’ll be able to helptheir players prepare or if thatprep will have to be handledindividually by team members.“We’ve met every day since

this happened and then some-thing happens in the next hourthat totally blows up that plan,”says the UCF head coach.“We’ll try to let the dust settleand then try to see what the long-term prognosis looks like, not justfor us but for the whole worldand all of college athletics.”Lovelady says the prospect ofplayers receiving another year ofeligibility creates lots of uncertain-ty. Some of his senior playersalready are prepared tomove onwith their lives beyond baseball.Withmany of his players on par-tial scholarships, there‘s noroadmap as yet on how additionaleligibility wouldwork financially.“No one got the send-off they

deserved and now some of themare thinking, ‘Now what do Ido? Do I graduate? Do I figureout how to get a master’sdegree? And, if I want to comeback and play, what does thismean financially for my family?’“And we have no answers for

them right now. The fluidity istough. We can’t turn the pagebecause we have no idea whatour roster will look like.”In some ways, dealing with theday-to-day changes in reality haskept Lovelady from brooding toomuch over the disappointment ofthe lost season— and the dreamsof what might have been.“Our guys are just crushed,” hesays. “You set off on a mission,and we’d put ourselves in a posi-tion that was extremely positive.“We preach about leaving

their legacy here and leavingthe program better — doingthings that no one else haddone. They really bought into it.They wanted to do somethingspecial, something different.“If you drew it up, they had

followed all the steps of whatwe wanted to do. We put our-selves in position to control ourown destiny in terms of win-ning a conference championshipand hosting an NCAA regional.

The trajectory of the programwas maybe even bigger thanwhat they thought it could be.“The comment I heard was, ‘I

really thought this was goingto be the year.’”The rest ofUCF’s spring sportcoaches are feeling similar emotions,frustrations anddisappointments.In themiddle of spring break,Ball-Malone and her softball teamwere on theirway fromCaliforniato aweekend series atOleMisswhen travel plans changed.“On our trip we were probably

playing the best softball I’ve seensince I’ve been here,” she says.“Everyone gets it from a healthstandpoint - - it’s bigger than thegame. But the extremely sad partof it is that there are some seniorsthat are not going to be able to fin-ish out their careers. They playeda huge role in what we did hereandwhat we did this season.

“We’re going to do somethingmore official once we can all comeback, but our team got togetheron its own for one last shindigand they all wore their TEAMFIRST shirts - - these are T-shirtswith our five core values on them.“That’s what defines this

group and why they were sosuccessful. Our senior leader-ship was something I haven’tseen in a long time.”The five seniors on the 2020

squad sent a photo of them-selves to Ball-Malone with thoseTEAM FIRST shirts on display.“For them to do that on theirown, it really meant something tome in terms of our culture,” shesays. “I think it’s going to last.“We tell our players you

never know when it’s going tobe your last game, your last at-bat, your last pitch.“We got back to Orlando at

midnight and it turned out tobe our last meeting.”Like with the baseball squad,

Ball-Malone expects some sen-iors to have interest in a poten-tial extra year of eligibility,while others already are com-mitted to graduate school.The legacies of the abbreviat-

ed seasons likely will comewith asterisks:

—The baseball team’s startmarked the second-best at UCF(behind only 2008with its 17-1opening), with a ranking as highas 12th (by four of the six nationalpolls), best since sixth in 2015; theUCF pitching staff finishedwith a2.17 ERA(ninth in the country);Jeff Hakanson led the countrywithsix saves; with four victories, JackSinclair paced the nation inwins.— The 16-2 softball start was

best in program annals, includ-ing an 11-game winning streak;the Knights posted a 6-5-1 recordagainst ranked opponents orthose receiving votes (9-4-1record against Power6 teams);the Knights were as high as No.22 in the last NFCA/USATodayand ESPN/USA softball polls.— The women’s tennis team

climbed as high as 12th in theOracle/ITA team rankings, topsin program history, thanks toPower6 wins versus Utah, No.18 Texas A&M, TCU, Nebraskaand No. 22 Baylor; newcomerEvgeniya Levashova won threeconference player-of-the-weekhonors, most by any UCF play-er in a single season; for the firsttime in program history foursingles players and three dou-bles teams were ranked at once.— The men’s tennis squad

enjoyed its best start to a dualmatch season since 2003 (theyear of the team’s first confer-ence title), with an eight-matchwin streak to finish; the Knightsclimbed as high as No. 22 in theOracle/ITA team rankings,highest in program history;UCF posted wins againstVirginia, Illinois, No. 20 TexasTech and No. 24 San Diego;Gabriel Decamps and JuanPablo Grassi Mazzuchi eachwon three conference player-of-the-week awards; Decampsranked as high as the nation’sNo. 7 singles player - - Decampsand Grassi Mazzuchi ended thespring ranked as the No. 7 dou-bles tandem in the nation.—The rowing teamwon its onlyspring regatta (sweeping theMetroCup), but that programhas been aconsistentNCAAChampionshipqualifier—with five straight top-20 finishes (18th in 2019).— Men’s golf competed inonly two events; that squad’stop accomplishment was win-ning the Tavistock CollegiateInvitational in October by 14shots; the Knights were ranked16th in the GolfStat.com pollfollowing that win.— Thewomen’s golf squad hadplayed three spring invitationals,ranking as high as 13th in the falland ending the shortened springseason at 39th (second in theAACbehind #31 Houston); freshmanTunrada Piddon earned her sec-ond college victory at the LadyGator Invitational. Piddon,AlyssaLamoureux and ElizabethMoonwere all ranked in the top 10 intheAACwhen the season ended.—Thewomen’s track and fieldteamhad yet to begin its outdoorseason, with a young squad thatsaw 10 of 18 individuals compet-ing at their firstAAC IndoorChampionship in 2020; nearlyevery teammember set a personalbest during the indoor campaign.As much as all the UCF coach-es and players understand thescary magnitude of the coron-avirus, they can’t help wonder-ing what their 2020 seasons ulti-mately might have wrought.“This did not end with a

crushing defeat,” says Lovelady.“And there’s nothing to moveon to. You don’t feel like yougot a fair chance. It (stinks).”Reality says sports for now is

not a priority.Lovelady, Ball-Malone and

their colleagues can only guesswhen that will change.

NOTICE OF AGENCY ACTION TAKEN BY THE ST. JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT Notice is given that the following permit was issued on May 11, 2020: RJDM Building, LLC. 1450 Tuskawilla Road, Winter Springs, Florida 32708 permit#141183-7. The project is located in Seminole County, Section 16, Township 21 South, Range 31 East. The permit authorizes a sur-face water management system on 1.08 acres for Medical Office Building known as Oviedo Medical. The receiving water body is Lightwood Knox Canal. A person whose substantial interests are or may be affected has the right to request an administrative hearing by filing a written petition with the St. Johns River Water Management District (District). Pursuant to Chapter 28-106 and Rule 40C-1.1007, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), the petition must be filed (received) either by delivery at the office of the District Clerk at District Headquarters, P.O. Box 1429, Palatka FL 32178-1429 (4049 Reid St, Palatka, FL 32177) or by e-mail with the District Clerk at Clerk@sjrwmd.com, within twenty-one (21) days of newspaper pub-lication of the notice of District decision (for those persons to whom the District does not mail or email actual notice). A petition must com-ply with Sections 120.54(5)(b)4. and 120.569(2)(c), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Chapter 28-106, F.A.C. The District will not accept a peti-tion sent by facsimile (fax). Mediation pursuant to Section 120.573, F.S., may be available and choosing mediation does not affect your right to an administrative hearing. A petition for an administrative hearing is deemed filed upon receipt of the complete petition by the District Clerk at the District Headquarters in Palatka, Florida during the District’s regular busi-ness hours. The District's regular business hours are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., excluding weekends and District holidays. Petitions received by the District Clerk after the District's regular business hours shall be deemed filed as of 8 a.m. on the District’s next regular business day. The District's acceptance of petitions filed by e-mail is subject to cer-tain conditions set forth in the District’s Statement of Agency Organization and Operation (issued pursuant to Rule 28-101.001, Florida Administrative Code), which is available for viewing at www.sjrwmd.com. These conditions include, but are not limited to, the petition being in the form of a PDF or TIFF file and being capa-ble of being stored and printed by the District. Further, pursuant to the District’s Statement of Agency Organization and Operation, attempting to file a petition by facsimile (fax) is prohibited and shall not constitute filing. The right to an administrative hearing and the relevant procedures to be followed are governed by Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, Chapter 28-106, Florida Administrative Code, and Rule 40C-1.1007, Florida Administrative Code. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means the District's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Failure to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the requisite time frame shall constitute a waiver of the right to an administra-tive hearing. (Rule 28-106.111, F.A.C.). If you wish to do so, please visit http://www.sjrwmd.com/nor_dec/ to read the complete Notice of Rights to determine any legal rights you may have concerning the District's decision(s) on the permit applica-tion(s) described above.
