Credit union

Space Coast Credit
Union will shutter one
of its DeLand branches next month. The
Space Coast Credit
Union branch at 1576
N. Woodland Blvd.
will close permanently
Friday, Sept. 28. The
Melbourne-based financial institution says
in a letter to customers
that the closing is “part
of an adjustment ... to
increase operating efficiencies.” SCCU also
has branches at 1450
S. Woodland Blvd.
and in the Orange
City Walmart, 2400
Veterans Memorial
Parkway.
Tropical Storm Isaac, which was busy
soaking the Lesser Antilles with heavy
rain Wednesday, Aug. 22, was expected
to become a Category 1 or 2 hurricane
Thursday or Friday.
If that prediction is correct, Hurricane
Isaac will visit South Florida by Monday
morning, Aug. 27, after a tour of Cuba
Sunday, and could be a threat to the Republican National Convention planned in
Tampa Aug. 27-30.
On Wednesday afternoon, the National
Weather Service’s five-day forecast map
had the storm aiming toward the Gulf of
Mexico, alternately making landfall along
the Gulf Coast, or turning east and moving across the northern half of the Florida
Peninsula.
As Floridians know, hurricanes are fickle creatures and hard to predict. Weather

Beach International
Airport. The latest
data show 7 percent
more travelers passed
through the DBIA terminal in July than during the same month last
year. Last month, more
than 51,000 passengers
flew into or out of the
airport, whose principal airlines are Delta
and US Airways.
Fuel prices
still rising
As people begin
making their Labor
Day travel plans, the
price of filling up the
gas tank of the family
car continues to increase. The latest information compiled by the
AAA Auto Club South
shows the average price
of a gallon of self-serve
unleaded regular gasoline in Volusia County
is $3.67. That figure is
about 14 cents higher
than the average price
at this time last year.
The pump price for
the same grade of fuel
in the Orlando area is
about $3.59 per gallon. Volusia County’s
gasoline prices are
typically higher than
elsewhere in East Central Florida, because
Volusia County has an
extra gasoline tax not
levied in surrounding
counties.

Open house 3-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25
BY PAT ANDREWS
A DeLeon Springs woman is doing her part
to get decent-paying jobs for West Volusians,
and it involves her passion: dentistry.
Elicia Hester is opening the Hester School of
Dental Assisting at 1045 Williamsburg Road
in Brandywine. Classes start Oct. 1.
Dental assisting topped the list of good
jobs for young people in a March Forbes.com
article. It takes special training, but less than
a bachelor’s degree, and the training is much
less expensive.
Nationally, dental assistants earn an average of $33,470 a year, and 17.6 percent of these
workers are younger than 25.
Now in its third year, the City
of DeLand’s program to clean up
overgrown lots has cleared 50 lots
that were causing their neighbors
grief, and collected $90,000.
The money has come mostly
from liens placed on property for
cleanup work done by the city. If
the property is sold, the lien must
be paid off to the city.
At its Aug. 20 meeting, the
DeLand City Commission approved placing another lien on
551 E. Voorhis Ave., this one for
$156 — the cost to have a local
contractor mow the grass, and the
cost of the city staff’s time.

DeBary passes rollback property-tax rate
BY PAT ANDREWS
The Volusia County Property Appraiser’s Office is required to send residents
notices of next year’s property-tax rates
no later than Tuesday, Aug. 21. The letters — called TRIM or “truth in millage”
notices — were expected to go in the mail
Friday, Aug. 17.
When DeBary residents open their envelopes, they will find their property-tax
rates increased slightly to provide the City
of DeBary with the same property-tax revenue it had this year.
The current millage rate of 2.99, or $2.99
in taxes for every $1,000 of property value,
will increase to 3.0935 mills, or about $3.09
per $1,000 of value.

dollars in revenue is called the rollback
rate.
The Property Appraiser’s Office has certified the taxable property within DeBary
city limits as being worth $1.377 billion, a
decrease of $47.7 million from last year.
The higher millage rate will generate
$4.269 million in property taxes for the
city.

ended his earthly journey Aug.

was 66 years
old. A memorial service will
be at 1 p.m.
Saturday, Aug.
25, in the Allen-Summerhill Memorial Chapel, 126 E. New York Ave.
in DeLand.
Coach “U” was born in Waterbury,
Conn., on Feb. 14, 1946, to Jennesse
and Helen Underhill.
He received his degree from
Campbellsville University, where he
played No. 1 singles and doubles on
the tennis team until his graduation
in 1968. He was voted most valuable
player in 1967 and 1968.
Coach Underhill began his
Florida teaching career at Woodward Avenue Elementary School in
DeLand in 1969, where he taught
physical education until his retirement in 2009. He was a substitute
physical-education teacher for two
additional years at Southwestern
Middle School in DeLand and Volusia
Pines Elementary in Lake Helen.
During these years, he was also a
teaching tennis pro (USPTA) at all
three DeLand tennis facilities (City
of DeLand, DeLand Country Club
and Brandywine Racquet Club), as
well as coaching tennis at DeLand
High School and Stetson University
under Ray Hussey.
Bill played tournaments in the 35plus bracket, where he was ranked
No. 3 in doubles and No. 35 in singles
in the state of Florida.
Bill was a former member of the
DeLand Lions Club, the DeLand
Volunteer Fire Department and the
Volusia Teachers Organization, as
well as Trinity United Methodist and
New Light Methodist churches.
He was preceded in death by
his father, Jennesse, and his sister,
June. He is survived by his mother,
Helen, his wife, Jodi, and Margaret,
the mother of his four children, Bill
(Kim), Sharon (Larry), Karen (Chad)
and Robb. He was adored by his
stepchildren, Casey Marshall and
Kendall Gleason, and his seven
grandchildren.
Coach Underhill always felt
fortunate that he had two careers for
many years that brought him great
satisfaction and joy. He met so many
kind people who, he felt, brought true
meaning to his life.
Memorial donations may be made
to the Duvall Home in DeLand or

in DeLand.
When Margery, with her husband,
Fred, moved back to Florida from

Margery’s father died in DeLand
during the great flu epidemic of
1918, and her mother was librarian

daughters.
Margery loved history, entertaining, and becoming involved with the
numerous interesting places where
she lived. In Paris, she enjoyed
entertaining by showing guests the
points of interest in Paris and the

When a complaint is

Adair explained the process.
The ordinance, which
allows the city to step
in and mow grass and
clean pools, has been on
the books for a while, he
said.
In 2009, the city collected on a $60,000 lien.
The City Commission
gave the building department half of that, $30,000,
to start a nuisance-abatement program.
The goal, Adair said,
was to reduce the time
spent on code-enforcement cases by the city’s
special magistrate.
“The special magistrate
costs $150; the attorney
is $150, plus staff time,”
Adair said.
Since the City Commission approved the
program, the fund has
grown from $30,000 to
$130,426.57, and some
50 nuisances have been
abated.
The lion’s share of the
increase in funds came
from the sales of two properties the city foreclosed
on to collect its liens. One
erty owner the bill. If it’s
not paid, Adair takes
the bill to the City Commission, so the property
owner can be “billed” in
the form of a lien on the
property, at 12-percent
interest. The money is
usually recouped when
the property is sold.

The July issue of Florida
Trend ranked the top 350
companies in Florida, dividing
them into the top 200 private
corporations and the top 150
public companies. Of the top
public companies, all but 35
showed increases in revenues
over the previous year, totaling
8.2 percent to $287.2 billion.
The 200 private companies
did even better, with all but 32
showing increases in revenues
of 9.3 percent for an aggregate
of 192.1 billion. These are not
the numbers of a great recession.
On Aug. 12, Gillian Tett,
managing editor of the U.S.
edition of the esteemed British
newspaper the Financial Times
(FT), published an article titled
“Global shift in US business
confounds Washington.”
The FT article began by
profiling a famous American
company: Orlando-based
Tupperware Brands. Founded
70 years ago, the company
thrived with a marketing
plan that would eventually be

known as the multilevel market method. Thus the famous
Tupperware “parties” hosted
by local distributors became an
iconic American brand.
In the July issue of Florida
Trend, Tupperware Brands is
ranked 26th among the top 150
public companies in Florida,
with revenues of $2.6 billion
and profits of $218.3 million.
Florida Trend also noted that
Tupperware employs 13,600
people — a seemingly splendid
example of American free enterprise. However, the FT noted
that Tupperware’s current
success is now derived almost
entirely from international
customers. Moreover, of those
13,600 employees, only 1,000
live in the U.S. — and not all
of them are Americans. Rick
Goings, CEO of Tupperware,
noted: “Our number two executive is English, our head
of manufacturing and sourcing
is Belgian, our head of human
resources is German, our head
of tax is a Czech and one of our
group presidents is a Swede and
the other a Colombian.”
President Barack Obama
has been criticized for his
statement “The private sector
is doing fine” — but the large
companies are doing very well!
It is small businesses and the
American work force that are
not doing well. Ms. Tett summarizes: “Washington should
take note. As America gears up
for the 2012 election, endless
rhetoric is being tossed around
about what ‘American’ business needs from Washington.
Politicians have been anxiously
debating, for example, what
might prompt business to create American jobs by investing
their estimated $2 trillion of
spare cash.”
But this discussion is over-
laid with contradictions. As
Tupperware shows, many successful “American” companies
are no longer American in
their market orientation. Add
on the well-known exodus of
manufacturing jobs and/or the
effects of automation, and it
is clear that large American
companies now hold about 60
percent of their cash outside
the U.S. and derive ever-larger
portions of their revenues from
abroad.
Here’s some additional data:
The S&P 500 shows American
corporations gain 54 percent of
their revenues from outside the
U.S., up from 42 percent a decade ago. This is a boardroom
choice! The global market
is larger than our domestic
market, and foreign labor is
cheaper. So why do we spend
more American treasure and
lives defending the international marketplace than the rest
of the world combined?

Say no to
socialism
More teachers,
fewer politicians
Editor, The Beacon:
Editor, The Beacon:
In Bill Hall’s “Two
champions of socialism” he states that the
world’s greatest advocates
for socialism are Jesus
of Nazareth and Albert
Einstein.
Wow! So here is a
question for you, Bill:
Have you given up all your
worldly goods, and do you
live in a commune?
Jesus and Einstein lived
in very different worlds
than we have today. What
about the good things that
have come out of today’s
democratic society, such
as: the advancement of
medicine, the Internet, and
advances in education and
science?
Here is some food for
thought: Why don’t those
who advocate socialistic
distribution of wealth
start with distributing all
of their own wealth?
Barack Obama’s net
worth in 2010 was $10.5
million. That $10.5 million would go a long way
to solving some of my
own fiscal challenges.
Distribute that right over
to my bank account, and
I will show you how I
can create jobs. Give
me the $500 million we
lost with Solyndra, and
I will find jobs for the
unemployed.
No doubt we need socialism for the judicial and
legislative systems. But
by extending socialism far
beyond the area where it
is unavoidable, we have
ended up performing essential government functions, and far less well than
was attained earlier. In a
poorer and less socialistic
era, we produced a nationwide network of roads
and bridges and subway
systems that were the envy
of the world. Today we are
unable even to maintain
Volusia County needs
to stop laying off teachers
and other people working
in government offices who
help citizens with their
needs.
Why does the mayor
need a city manager?
That’s his job. Why do the
county commissioners get
such high salaries? There
are many retired people
and Stetson University
government students who
can handle that job for less
money.
Congressmen, senators and governors should
take a 20-percent cut in
salary. We need more law
enforcement. Maybe fire

I found it interesting
that Jan R. Young referred in a recent letter to
the Republicans as being
“utopians.”
It seems to me it is the
progressives and liberals
who are the utopians! The
way they govern seems to
be based on that infamous
phrase by Karl Marx,
“From each according to
his ability, to each according to his need.”

them.
Socialism is an attack on
the right to breathe freely.
The best example of
catastrophic results from
attempting to distribute
the wealth in the name
of socialism: the housing
bubble meltdown.
The government (going back to the Clinton
era and yes, through to
the Bush era) encouraged
homeownership. They
threatened Wall Street with
“consequences” if they did
not make it easy to own a
home. So you found people
buying houses they could
not afford, under terms they
did not understand.
There is no doubt that
there is evil in capitalism,
but the alternative is being
told where to work, what
to eat, what to learn.
In my opinion, the
stagnation of socialism
is so dangerous that it is
infecting the entire global
economy.
Here is my bottom line: I
refuse to back an economic
system that destroys my
motivation to work hard,
while others realize the
same benefits with little or
no sweat equity.
Nope; I will take evil
capitalism over lazy socialism any day.

Healthcare debate
continues
Editor, The Beacon:
The public-option
debate died before the
Affordable Care Act
— coined Obamacare
— became law.
The public option and
our current systems of
Medicare and Medicaid
are flawed in that they are
linked to private healthcare insurance.
At the taxpayers’ burden, in many instances,
payment for organizational synergies between
public and private insurance is one-sided, so
while the public pays, the
private insurers benefit
financially. A conflict is
evident.
Public and private
insurance for health care
must be permanently
separated. Cut the cord.
Why not develop a public
system of single-payer
insurance? Operated on a
state level, for individuals from birth until death,
it would receive federal
funding, which would
directly pay privately
owned for-profit and
nonprofit enterprises. It
would be an insurance

Complement the public system with a private

One federal mandate

Strickland, for whom
antiques are a passion,

its buildings, “I’m going

The packinghouse
is in bad shape, he acknowledged, but Strickland wants to “save everything,” he said.
The real-estate closing is set for Thursday,

Strickland is paying
$50,000 for the property, he said. He had been
looking at the property
for a couple of years, and
recently made the offer.
In February 2009, River of Lakes Heritage Corridor tourism officials
tried to purchase the
property to preserve and
use the packinghouse,
perhaps as a museum. At
that time, the price was
$175,000, too much for
the group to raise.

The packinghouse began processing oranges

Theodore Strawn built

Pier 44: Premier boaters’ haven on the St. Johns River
Pier 44 Marina’s importance to boaters on the St.
Johns River is easily explained: First, it has the perfect location at the junction
of New York Avenue (State
Road 44) and the river, centrally located between a few
of the popular boating spots
like Silver Glen Springs and
Blue Spring.
Secondly, if you are looking for a new motor, they
have the smallest to the largest Mercury engines, either
in stock or on short order.
If you’d like a new Lowe
Boat, managers Jenny and
Danny Fogle can show you
a full lineup from which to
choose. A fair number of
used boats, both trade-ins
and consignments, are also
available.
Also, master mechanic
Larry Crandall, with more
than 25 years’ experience,
can either repair a problem
or perform preventive maintenance on your boat’s motor. To top it off, Pier 44’s
wet slips and dry docks are
available for your boat’s
storage.
So, we can buy a boat, repair a boat, and store a boat at
Pier 44 Marina. What does
that leave? For one thing,
fuel. They have both ethanol-free gas and diesel fuel.
It’s the only diesel fuel pump
for several miles either up or
down the river. And when
you pay for your gas, be sure
to check out the engines, lubricants, and spare parts on
display in the Ship’s Store. If
you want your boat detailed
and waxed, call ahead and
Pier 44 Marina will connect
you with a specialist who
can make it look pretty close
to brand-new.
After 25 years running
Pier 44 Marina, the Fogles
know how to care for all
our boating needs. After all,
our main boating concerns
should be finding new inlets in which to swim, new
coves to fish, new park areas for picnicking. If we can
do that, Pier 44 Marina will
pretty much handle everything else.

Accent on Quilting
— Offering a
season full of
fun classes
By Abby Anderson
Accent on Quilting
is a shop boasting innumerable possibilities
for those interested in
making quilts. Located
at 951 N. Volusia Ave.,
Suite 200, in Orange
City, Accent on Quilting offers a neat promotion called the Brat Pack
Club. Membership costs
$60, which includes a
one-time 20-percent discount on everything in
the shop, attendance at
any three classes within
six months, and a day
of power-sewing each
month, including food
and beverages to keep
that power creativity
going. You will also be
entered into a monthly drawing for a free
book.
The calendar was full
of classes offered at Accent on Quilting this
summer. Additional information can be found
online at www.accentonquilting.com, where
all the class offerings
are listed. A sample of
July’s classes were: Hand
appliqué and needle
turn; a “Block of the
Month” course on hand
embroidery on teacups
and flowers; a “Purse of
the Month” showcasing
“Purse-o-nality,” which
is an everyday purse with
pockets and zippers; a table-runners trilogy class
that continues in August
and September.
A mystery quilt was
presented for those quilters at the beginner skill
level. Aug. 7 gave students a very intriguing
class on pieced appliqué.
From the looks of it, students will learn some
tricks they can apply on
any project they take on.
The “Little Sister” purse
made its debut at a class
on Aug. 17. This bag is
great for a baby-shower
gift to be used as a diaper
bag or even as a tote.
Exciting news for customers: During the next
30-60 days, gift-type
products will be available at Accent on Quilting. This includes everything from dips and

where her interest in dentistry began.
As a child, she was fascinated with her grandfather’s dentures. And, dentist Dr. Bruce Gordy was
a family friend. He still
provides Hester encouragement, and will provide
oversight to the school.
So will local orthodontist
Dr. Mac Steen.
“So, the support’s
there,” Hester said.
She had planned to
become a dentist, but an
unplanned pregnancy
and life got in the way.
Instead of going to dental school, Hester went to
dental-assisting school.
She later got a bachelor’s
degree in biology.
“It’s a great career,”
Hester said.
She’s grateful her husband, Bobby, a citrus
grower, has been supportive. He will help with
the business end of the
operation.
The school will host an
open house 3-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25. The DeLand Area Chamber of
Commerce will sponsor
a ribbon-cutting as part
of the festivities.

Continued from 1A
to Brandywine Shopping
Center. Along with dental labs, radiography and
sterilization facilities, the
school boasts four fully
equipped work stations
with dental chairs where
students can practice
their newly learned skills
on an artificial student
called “Dexter-Head.”
They can also practice
on each other, and on locals who want their teeth
cleaned and polished.
In the front lobby is
a small museum dedicated to dental history,
including antique dental
chairs.
Hester had planned
to open the school in
DeLeon Springs, to help
that community with
job training, but ran into
too many problems involving zoning, parking
and plumbing requirements, along with DeLeon Springs’ lack of city
water and plumbing. She
found a location as near
as possible — but one that
has city utilities.
Hester has begun the
process for accreditation through the American Dental Association,
and the school is licensed
with the Florida Board of
Independent Education
and the Florida Board of
Dentistry.
Hester has been a certified dental assistant
for more than 28 years.
She started teaching at
Americare School of
Nursing’s dental-assistant program, where she
worked 2000-04. She
wrote the school’s accreditation package, then
helped open another location in St. Petersburg.
She liked it.
“I got to teach women
like me,” Hester said.
She finds teaching very
rewarding.
Hester grew up with
her grandparents in College Park, and that’s

The total cost of the
program is $13,500, including tuition, books
and supplies, and labs.
Students are issued a set

The school can teach
12 students in the daytime, and another 12 in

Church members to help their neighbors in need
Community work
planned
Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church in DeLand
will celebrate “Service Sunday — God’s Work, Faith’s
Hands” after the 9:30 a.m.
worship service Sunday,
Aug. 26. Church members
and friends of Faith Lutheran will fan out into the
community to help their
neighbors in need.
The church requests that

to 386-943-8758, by visiting their website at www.

Faith Lutheran is eager
to do what they can on the
Lord’s day.
In 1977, Anita Bryant
began a crusade against the
gay community in Miami,
culminating with the Florida Legislature passing a law
that bans gay people from
adopting children. The law
remains in effect today.
There is no charge to attend.

or Getting Gone?” at the

services.
Many people begin to
disappear as Jesus becomes clearer and clearer
about his message and the
requirements they need to
follow if they want to be
his followers.
It can be like that in our
world today; when the going gets tough, most people
“get gone”! Jesus asks his
12 closest followers whether they want to leave. Peter
answers, “Lord, to whom
shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life!”
A special offering will
be taken for Rainbow
Child Care Center at both
services, and teachers who
are present will receive a
blessing.
Other church activities
include a Rainbow Child
Care Center board meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.

Bexaida Leiba honored with superintendent’s award
The Volusia County
School District and FUTURES Foundation have
announced the recipients
of the 2012 Superintendent’s Outstanding
Achievement Award:
Bexaida Leiba of Pine
Ridge High School in Deltona, and Marsha Hartman of Atlantic High
School in Port Orange.
This award honors support-staff members who
have demonstrated outstanding commitment,
teamwork, cooperation
and innovation in their
jobs.
Others from West Volusia
who were nominated for this
honor were Morgan Berry,
Citrus Grove Elementary
School in DeLand; Brenda Adams, DeLand High;
Eric Hoffmann, DeLand
Manatee Cove Elementary School and River
Springs Middle School,
both in Orange City, have
a traffic pattern for student drop-off and pickup.
Parents whose children attend either of these schools
will be asked to enter from
Scholars Path and exit on
West Ohio Avenue. Both
streets will be one-way,
and there will be no parking along either street. This
will significantly improve
safety before and after
school.
Last year, 27 students
throughout the county were
struck by vehicles. Please
do your part to keep students safe. It is suggested
that drivers do the following: Watch out for pedestrians and bicycles; expect
children to be walking or
riding bicycles to and from
school or to their assigned
bus stop between the hours
of 6 and 9 a.m. and 1 and 5
p.m.; obey the speed limits
and stay alert; urge your
friends and neighbors to
use caution when driving
before and after school;
and avoid using cell phones
while driving.
Schools that have information about student and
staff honors, as well as
about events that will be
happening in the future,
The DeLand Parks may send the information
and Recreation Department will be offering a
Youth Soccer League

Deltona gets
another Dollar
General
BY AL EVERSON
al@beacononlinenews.com
The continuing economic slump is benefiting
some retailers.
Dollar General is planning to build yet another
store in Deltona.
The new store will be
on the north side of the
city, and the proposed location is along Howland
Boulevard, across from
the new Fire Station 65.
Dollar General is also
looking to build a new
store in Stratford Commons, a parcel just east
of the Deltona Plaza. The
company had a store in
the Deltona Plaza until a
few years ago, but it was
closed following a robbery and the murder of
two employees in 2002.
The Deltona City
Commission must approve any new commercial development, such as
the construction of the
proposed Dollar General
stores.
Headquar tered in
Goodlettsville, Tenn.,
Dollar General now has
more than 10,000 stores
in 40 states.
Another Dollar General store recently opened
at 676 N. Volusia Ave. in
Orange City.

Back to school — George Marks Elementary School is busy Aug. 20, as parents and children figure out classroom
assignments on the first day of the school year for Volusia County public schools. A total of 55,142 students
arrived for the first day, but the school system expects that count to rise steadily over the first few weeks of the
year. Last year, there were 55,918 students on the first day. George Marks, with nine fewer students, was among
West Volusia schools that had smaller enrollments on the first day this year. Other elementaries that had fewer
students, compared to last year’s first day, included DeBary (56), Discovery (66), Forest Lake (four), Freedom
(42), Horizon (eight), Manatee Cove (34), McInnis (two), Orange City (two), Osteen (61), Pride (39), Starke (19),
Sunrise (29), Timbercrest (nine) and Volusia Pines (44). The students pictured on Page 1A are Andrew Tingler
and Zander Tingler.
