SAVE THE DATE!
APRIL 20-21, 2012
IN BEAUTIFUL PORT ORANGE, FLORIDA
8 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH!

 

March 29 to April 1
Spring Fair to bring new look to Port Orange
 
The sidewalks and park area around Port Orange’s City Center Lake will bloom with arts and crafts and old fashioned fun March 29 to April 1 as the volunteers, who attract more than 100,000 fun-seekers a year with free entertainment and movies and family oriented expos, take on a new theme for their annual Spring event.
 
“We’ve run Kidz Dayz the last few years in the Spring, and while it has been well-attended, the focus and the appeal has always been for families.  Our Board decided this year to recognize that focus and recreate the feel and fun of a fair,” said Debbie Connors, Chair of the event and Executive Director of the Port Orange/South Daytona Chamber of Commerce.  “Even those who have never attended a true Spring Fair know from stories and movies the idea was that after the hard winters, community residents got together in the Spring to show off their handiwork and take part in events that let them work off energy stored when winter activities slowed.  Our Volusia winters aren’t that bad, but the idea still has a lot of appeal,” she said.
 
Family Days Spring Fair aims to debut with one of the largest food and craft expositions held in the region.  The Craft Fair will be Saturday and Sunday March 31 and April 1 and will replace the business expo feature of Kidz Dayz, although year-round Family Days sponsors will be represented along with food and craft booths. Other activities will include a car show, a pie bake-off and cake walk. Most of the handicrafts and art works will be for sale and many demonstrations are scheduled for those interested in learning new skills.  Extensive free entertainment will include excerpts from a well-known musical presented on the amphitheater stage; an old fashioned barn dance, an Amazing Pet Tricks contest and an evening of free movies.
 
A high point of the Spring Fair will be a large, family friendly carnival with rides and games appealing to all ages.  Details of the entertainment and other events will be announced as the dates approach and will be posted on the Family Days web site at www.familydays.com.
 
Food and craft vendors interested in participating in the Spring Fair are urged to get information from the web site or apply by calling the Family Days office at 386-506-5935.

9th Annual Freemanville Day Ceremony
Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, 941 N. Orange Avenue, Port Orange
February 14, 2012 at 4:00 p.m.
 
Port Orange, FL - In honor of our community’s African-American heritage, the City of Port Orange will host the 9th Annual Freemanville Day Ceremony on February 14, 2012, at 4:00 p.m.  Hosted in partnership with the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church and the Port Orange Historical Trust, the ceremony will be held at the church, 941 N. Orange Avenue.  The public is welcome to attend.
 
This year’s featured speaker is Dr. Leonard Lempel of Daytona State College.  Dr. Lempel conducted research on the beginnings of Port Orange and Freemanville.  His presentation will focus on Ms. Esther Hill Hawks, the wife of Port Orange’s founder Dr. John Milton Hawks.  A medical doctor herself, Ms. Hawks run the integrated school.  Also on the program are Harold Cardwell from the Port Orange Historical Trust and Alberta McLeod who will share stories of living and raising children in Freemanville.
 
At 12 Noon on April 26, 1867, the U.S. Postal Service officially recognized Port Orange as a community.  Dr. John Milton Hawks, a Union Army surgeon, and his fellow Union Army officers established Port Orange after the U.S. Civil War.   Initially, 500 former slaves settled near the shores of the Halifax River on public lands secured with the help of the US Freedman Bureau in 1866.  They came to Port Orange to work for the Florida Land & Lumber Company, which Dr. Hawks and his partners formed.  An additional 1,000 freed slaves made Port Orange their home six months later. 
 
Falling on hard times, the settlement, the company, and the integrated school disbanded in 1869.  A majority of the settlers returned to their home states or headed for area citrus groves looking for work.  Over time, the few families and individuals who stayed made up the pioneering African-American neighborhood of Port Orange known as Freemanville.
 
For information on the ceremony, contact Kent E. Donahue, Special Assistant to the City Manager, at 386-506-5501 or kdonahue@port-orange.org.

On the Port Orange City Council Agenda, February 7th
 

 

Item 25 -        Authorization for Wayne L. Helsby, Esquire to Initiate Litigation Proceedings for Enforcement of the Public Employee’s Relations Commission Decision

 PERC’s Order finding that the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 3118 (“IAFF”) committed an unfair labor practice by not conducting a ratification vote has not been appealed.  Staff recommends initiating litigation to require the IAFF to conduct the ratification vote.

 Staff recommends authorization for Wayne L. Helsby, Esquire to file a lawsuit in the Seventh Judicial Circuit, Volusia County, Florida, for enforcement of the Public Employees Relations Commission (“PERC”) decision rendered on December 22, 2011, in ULP Case No. CB-2011-061, and authorize its continued prosecution on behalf of the City. 

 

City Manager Comment: The City continues to work with the IAFF on contract negotiations.  We will be conducting another workshop with the Union and the Actuary attempting to reach an agreement with the Union on contract issues.  However, PERC has ordered the Union to conduct an election on the Impasse contract.  More than 30 days has lapsed since the PERC order.  In the statute, Circuit Court is the venue for enforcement of the PERC order.  Although we will continue to meet with the Union on attempting to reach agreement, we are requesting permission to go into Circuit Court to seek a court order if necessary to compel the Union to conduct a ratification vote.  They have raised two issues.  Our labor counsel has addressed those issues with their attorney.  Both of the issues should not be addressed pre-vote since those questions would have to be addressed in a post vote discussion.

....Another bill that should not be very controversial has been made so by some legislative leaders.  Legislation to “rightsize” the state-run reinsurance company known as the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, or Cat Fund, was added to the House Insurance and Banking Subcommittee.

Rep. Dorothy Hukill, R-Port Orange, chair of the Economic Affairs Committee, which oversees the aforementioned subcommittee, yanked the bill from the agenda within an hour of receiving it.  Critics say the bill would increase rates because companies who purchase below-market reinsurance coverage from the Cat Fund would have to replace that with coverage from the more expensive private market.  Proponents contend that the bill would protect the state’s consumers from the potentially catastrophic scenario where the Cat Fund would not have the ability to pay its claims following a storm, thus leaving thousands of Floridians without their legitimate claims being paid. They also contend that the bill would reduce rates prospectively because it would decrease the likelihood of post-hurricane assessments that the Cat Fund would have to levy on every insurance policy in the state to cover its debts....

THE WISE CHINESE DOCTOR


Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

A: Heart only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste on exercise. Everything wear out eventually. Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster. Want to live longer? Take nap.


Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: Oh no. Wine made from fruit. Brandy distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way. Beer also made of grain. Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one.. If you have two body, your ratio two to one.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU NOT LISTENING! Food fried in vegetable oil. How getting more vegetable be bad?

Q
: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Oh no! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should only be doing sit-up if you want bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: You crazy?!? HEL-LO-O!! Cocoa bean! Another vegetable! It best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming good for figure, explain whale to me.

Q: Is getting in shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is shape!

Well... I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

During the second world war, my dad worked long hours at the sperry's defense plant. 7 days a week. I remember him always trying to stay awake when he was home, but snoringly falling asleep in his chair.

After the war was over, he returned to normal working hours, and enjoying fishing, he often took me on a charter boat going out of Sheephead's bay on weekends. We went on Capt. Izzy's boat.

During the week, he kept up with fishing reports in a 7 am news radio fishing report. The introduction to the fishing report section played the song, Sailor's Hornpipe. Whenever I hear the song, I have happy memories of fishing with dad on weekends. -- hank

Apple Computer announced today
that it has developed
a computer chip that can store
and play high fidelity music
in women's breast implants. 

The 
iTit  will cost between
$499.00 and $699.00
depending on speaker size.
 

This is considered to be a major breakthrough
because women have always complained
about men staring at their tits
and not listening to them.

 

good night!
