Daytona strikes a deal for affordable housingTh e City of Daytona Beach is working with Framework Group LLC to address affordable housing. The City Commission approved a grant agreement Nov. 2 that paves the way for Framework to build apartments at 544 Orange Ave. in midtown under the project name of Paradigm Daytona. The property is between Division and Marion streets. The property formerly housed the city’s Public Works storage yard. Not only did the two sides come to an agreement, but they also agreed to a trade. In exchange for getting the land at no cost, Framework Group has agreed 24 of the 62 apartments will be earmarked as affordable rental units. The agreement defin es affordable as a monthly rent that doesn’t exceed 30% of a low-income or moderate-income household’s annual gross income. What constitutes a moderateor low-income household is based on comparing annual gross household income against the median household income for the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metropolitan statistical area. There is an adjustment made for family size so the comparison is apples to apples, not apples to oranges. The agreement stipulates the cost of the land is $310,000, for which Framework Group would be liable if it defaults on the agreement. Otherwise, the developer will receive a tax break for 10 years in the form of a grant reimbursement to begin once the project is built. The reimbursement will not exceed $655,000 for the life of the agreement. In a memorandum written by Kenneth Thomas, the city’s Redevelopment and Neighborhood Ser vices director, the hope is this development will help Ormond Memorial Art Museum and Gardens Naval Aviation Veteran Suzanne Oliver will give the keynote address at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum’s annual Veterans Day Tribute at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at 78 E. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach. At a nontraditional time for women in the military in 1977, Ms. Oliver qualified as par of an air crew and plane captain. She worked on both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. She is first vice commander and finance officer for American Legion Post 267 in Ormond Beach. Admission is free and seating will be provided. The beachside art museum and surrounding gardens were established as a tribute to veterans in 1946. Entertainment will be provided by the the Daytona Beach Choral Society, and light refreshments courtesy of the Pilot Club of Daytona Beach. Parking will be in lots at St. James Episcopal Church and the Casements. For more information, con tact Stephanie Mason-Teague, museum executive director at (386) 676-3347 or smt@ ormondartmuseum.org. Pull up fundraiserVeterans Day Pull Up Fundraiser will be at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at Gold’s Gym, 333 W. Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach. Dr. Ernie Panza, 80, has committed to doing 111 pull ups in one hour or less to raise money for homeless veterans, veterans in need and veterans families. To make a donation, send B-CU students march to early vote siteBethune-Cookman University students did their part to deliver the crucial youth vote with a March to the Polls. On a beautiful sunny morning Nov. 2, as band music flowed from a boombox, the students met on campus and walked to their precinct. A bevy of candidate signs dotted the precinct grounds at the Midtown Cul tural & Educational Center at 925 George Engram Blvd. in Daytona Beach. Candidates roamed the crowd as snacks and hot dogs were available to the young voters. Dannette Henry and Malcolm Williams, who were squaring off for the Daytona Beach City Commission Zone 5 seat and Zone 3 candidate Steve Miller campaigned in the crowd Many of the students held “#BCU VO TES” signs, including Tyrone Franklin Jr., 20, a quarterback for the football Wildcats. “My impact on voting is just to get the young folks to vote m ore,” Mr. Franklin said. “It has a big impact on our lives.” Barely more than half, 54%, of eligible voters age 18-29 voted in Florida in the 2020 election.

It is not the only measure Daytona Beach has taken lately to spur affordable housing. There is a small footprint (also known as tin y homes) project in development on Brentwood Drive, aptly called Brentwood Village. The city also works with local nonprofits in an initiative called Affordable Home Ow nership Assistance Program. AHOAP is an income-based program that he lps residents with closing costs, down payments, home inspections and minor rehabilitation costs. Information on AHOAP can be found at codb.us/. Framework Group LLC is a Tampa-based real estate developer that has worked previously in Daytona Beach. They are the developers of The Napier, a 260-unit apartment complex on Williamson Boulevard, completed earlier this year. The city commission’s approval of Paradigm Daytona gives Framework Group its second in-progress Daytona Beach development. The other is a 307-unit Beach Street apartment complex for which the firm hopes to break ground on next month. There is no date set for construction to begin on Paradigm Daytona. Once dirt is turned, it will take about two years to complete. Randy Barber/staff photographer The City of Daytona Beach is trading land on Orange Avenue for affordable apartments in a deal with a developer. Alabama, spoke a better message than many candidates. “I think we just need to come together as one in the country,” he said. “Try to help each other instead of going against each other. We have a reputation of doing that, going against each other, seeing what’s wrong within each other instead of helping each other.” It was the first time voting for Devon Harrell, a 19-yearold sophomore and linebacker on the Wildcats football team. “The walk to the polls was good,” Mr. Harrell said. “We all formed up as a group, took a march down here because voting is important. Every vote matters.” Mr. Harrell said his friends and teammates encouraged him to vote, an example of how events like the March to the Polls increase voter participation. Another first time voter, Pat rick Reid, 20, a sophomore, said he and a classmate thought voting would be a “good idea.” “Every vote counts,” Mr. Reid said. “It was an experience. I feel like, all grown up. I feel like whatever I have to say matters, because if I didn’t vote it’s like I’m not saying anything.” Krysha Caldwell, a 23-yearold criminal justice and psychology student, said she came out to express her rights as a young voter. “Elections determine, to a point, what we experience . . . and we have a right to affect the outcome,” she said. Ms. Caldwell said her major concern locally is to see more support for schools, especially from the mayor. The March to the Polls was a partnership between the universi ty, the Center for Law and Social Change, and the Political Engagement Committee.HousingFrom page A1 VotingFrom page A1VeteransFrom page A1 NotesFrom page A1 See NOTES, page A4 S.P.C.A.

Russia has refused to say nuclear weapons are off the table, causing the world to shudder at the thought. Those of you my age remember all too well the threat of the bomb that came when the Soviets put missiles in Cuba back in the early 1960s. In school we were taught to dive and take cover should we see a nuclear flash. We were instructed to get under our desks or cover with a towel or sheet. While that didn’t seem too trustworthy, it did demonstrate the rampant paranoia that gripped the U.S. These days it is difficult to explain just how dire those circumstances were. Everyone lived in fear on a daily basis. All sorts of emergency plans were in place to ensure survival of a nuclear disaster. Canned goods were hoarded, other food stuffs were buried and water was stored. At the height of that scare, an elderly gentleman came into the locker room after a high school football game to congratulate me on my play. He then asked if I would be interested in a part-time job. Money was scarce back then and I told him I surely would be. The man said he was building a fallout shelter in his back yard and told me to pick a teammate and be at his house next Saturday morning. I played quarterback and chose my backup to come along on the job. I am not sure, but I suppose the man chose me for my athletic ability or maybe because I was smart enough to remember the plays. On the designated day we showed up not knowing what to expect. The man had a plan and put us right to work. First we laid a row of concrete blocks eight feet square and eight feet tall. He then had us fill the openings in the blocks with dirt. He had devised a tool for us to use to tamp the dirt solid. Next we moved out three feet and built another row of blocks. Between those two rows of blocks we filled the void with dirt and tamped that down. Each wall consisted of two rows of concrete blocks three feet apart with the center filled with dirt. I don’t know if you are following, but that made each wall more than four feet thick. This guy was not fooling around. We drilled a well in the center floor, but that was easy for it was in Louisiana where the water table is near the surface. My buddy and I worked on that thing for months and each piece was over built just like the walls. I wouldn’t be surprised if that fallout shelter is still there. I tell you this story to demonstrate the degree of paranoia that existed back then. I had not seen anything like it until Sept. 11, 2001. After that disaster most Amer icans wondered where the next strike would be? Those of us in Volusia County worried abut our proximity to Cape Canaveral and north of us people were fearful of living so close to the Jacksonville Naval Station. Trying times. I remember right after 9/11 Lana and I went to the boardwalk to see the Beach Boys. At the time we considered that an act of extreme bravery. People were avoiding crowds at all costs. Let’s hope things in Ukraine calm down. Think what those poor souls are enduring. We sure don’t want to go through any of that again.

Rants & RavesEmergency staff supremeOn the first day of Tropical Storm Ian, while attempting to get dressed, I slipped and fell in my bathroom and had to have someone call 911. The South Daytona EMS arrived covered me and helped EVAC get me onto a stretcher to get me to the ER. They were so professional, nice, helping me to try and get comfortable while in so much pain. The staff was, I am sure, worried about the storm and their homes, but you would think it was just another sunny (not) day. The EVAC staff apologized for getting me wet on the way to the ambulance, “ I said I won’t melt.” I can’t be more thankful for the emergency staff we have here. As it turned out, I dislocated and fractured my shoulder .What fantastic helping people we have here in Volusia County.Scary HalloweenThank you to all of the organizations that provided family activities for Halloween. They appeared to be organized and well attended. Next year, I’ll donate to these organizations instead of handing out candy at my door. It just didn’t feel right or safe this year. The first group was cute super heroes with an adult similarly dressed. The second was a young teenager with a small baby in a stroller, neither in costume. The third group of about six to eight kids, I’ll estimate between five and 10 years of age in various costumes did not appear to have an adult with them. They literally beat on my glass doors – they did not knock, they beat. The fourth group was 12to 14-year-old minions and the final person knocked on my door, closer to 10 p.m than 9 p.m. Shame on the person in the car that was dropping the 10 to 12 year olds off at various homes -it was too late. Halloween has always been one of those holidays that you never knew how many to expect or what kind of costumes you might see, but for the most part it was fun and entertaining. It’s awesome that we have organizations that provide an alternative to traditional trick or treating. I know more and more homeowners, over time, have decided against handing out treats and simply turn off the lights to signal no one is home. I hate to admit it, but after the turnout this year, I’ll do the same. Not Happy with Leaf Filter I had Leaf Filter installed a little over a year ago and have been sorry ever since. I have a manufactured home and when the sales representative came to measure and calculate how much it would cost me to have this installed, he never mentioned that it would still have to be cleaned out by hand due to the way they had to install it. It cost me $6,000. As you can tell I am not a very happy camper. I should have been told at the time of sale that it would not be installed as advertised. I still have to go on a ladder to clean the gutters out or pay someone, which is not what I thought would be happening. When an inspector came to check the installation he said he could do nothing for me, but would be happy to clean it out for me for another $95. Don’t think so. Nice way to treat a senior citizen on a fixed income. Thank you, Port OrangeYes, a big thank you goes out to Port Orange for flooding our neighborhoods. We are not in a flood zone, so flood insurance is not required. Guess what, our insurance company and many others will not pay for sustained damages to our homes. The last time, several years ago, when we had another rainmaker of a storm, the house across the street from me flooded out. The water only came halfway up my driveway, thankfully. This time, the whole neighborhood flooded, including my house. We had between eight to 10 inches in our concrete block house. The city has been working on a flood control plan for years. Where is the plan? Still in the planning stages or under review? Wherever the plan is, something has certainly failed. Areas in a flood zone did not flood as much as we have. The city needs to take responsibility for failures and reimburse the citizens for their losses. Maybe someone needs to look into a class-action lawsuit against the city . Politeness mattersI would like to commend the youth of New Smyrna Beach and, in particular, the subdivision of Sable Lakes during Halloween. Last night the children who came were very polite. Every per son said thank you. I was very impressed with the kids. It was very nice to see. UnpreparedHurricane preparation is something the City of Port Orange doesn’t understand. They have the most inept, ineffective government in the State of Florida. It’s time to clean up the swamp and get some responsible people in office who know how to run a city government.Teach not to litterSchool children who walk on North Hill Avenue in DeLand coming and going to school have been seen throwing junk and tras h along the sidewalk and in the woods across from Alhambra Villas homes. These children should know better or their parents should be told what they are doing. Lots of this trash ends up blowing over on the lawns of Alhambra? We keep our places neat and clean we don’t don’t need any trash. Ma ybe the teachers could give these students a lecture on being nice and not litter? Thank you.Too much for cable TVBack in 2015 many readers were writing in about the high cost of Brighthouse services, especially with their excessive rates of increase. My rant letter was chosen then. Now I’m reading more rants about Spectrum, who still continues to charge exorbitant rates – still my pet peeve of all services we pay for – especially with increases of 30% more than once in the past two years. In fact, we pay more for Spectrum each year than we do for our New Smyr na Beach tax bill. In light of the present economy and high inflation, I wish they would do something about it – everybody has had enough, especially the senior population. p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, Plaza Resort, 600 N.

A-6 • Ormond Beach/Daytona Beach/Holly Hill forming Arts Center renovation, clearing the way to obtain building permits needed to begin construction. The company will also per form an evaluation to make sure construction is efficient. Also covered in the contract is architectural oversight. The Friends of the Performing Arts Center proposed a $1,630,000 renovation of the city’s Performing Arts Center, which the City Commission adopted in its annual capital budget in September. Funding will include $600,000 from the Volusia County ECHO program, which supports environmental, cultural, historic and outdoors programs. Also, the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District board approved $425,250 in grants. Ormond Beach has earmarked about $800,000 in reserves and the Friends are seeking donations, such as the recent Murder Mystery Dinner fundraiser. “One of the important things this building was founded on is the local per forming arts groups,” said Marc Schwartz, center super visor. “We have our in-house groups, the Follies, the Kopy Kats, as well as the Children’s Musical Theater program.” A former New York City resident who worked as sound engineer for the band Spin Doctors, Mr. Schwartz took over the Performing Arts Center in 2010. He has focused on making the building work well for producers to bring traveling shows for local residents, which traditionally have been oldies, big band and family events. “Moving forward I expect that we will be doing even more diverse types of programming, because our facility, being essentially brand new after renovations and beautiful, is going to bring people here that have not come here before,” Mr. Schwartz said. Renovation plans include improving the exterior facade; mod ifications to the lobby stairway for public safety and aesthetics; changes to the restrooms to ensure full accessibility; adding a major art installation; upgrades of floor, window and wall coverings in the lobby, concession and hallways; and a canopy for shelter at the entrance during inclement weather. All seats have been removed from the 23,000-square-foot theater and will be replaced with high-backed theater seats with cup holders donated from the defunct Regal Theater on Williamson Boulevard. New furniture, artwork and a wall to recognize donors also are in the plans. The theater will remain closed during the renovations, but the 3,000-square-foot studio will be available for rehearsals and meetings. Professional sound, stage, lighting and backstage equipment are avai lable to serve general performance needs. The theatre is fully accessible to patrons with disabilities and offers hearing assisted devices free. Exterior renovations will change the way the building looks. “There will also be more and better signage because a frequent thing that I’ve heard people say is that they were not even aware that there was a Performing Arts Center in Ormond Beach,” Mr. Schwartz said. “So this is also going to do a lot to raise the awareness of the public of the fact that we do have a beautiful theater here.” He hopes the theater will reopen in November 2023.

Ormond Beach/Daytona Beach/Holly Hill • A-7 Industrial land sold for $18 millionCushman & Wakefield has arranged the $18 million sale of a 67-acre industrial land site at 1094 S. Williamson Blvd. in Daytona Beach. The buyer, Karis, expects to deliver two Class A buildings totaling more than 1 million square feet on the site by late 2023. Jared Bonshire, David Perez, Taylor Zambito and Matthew Trone of Cushman & Wakefield represented the buyer in the transaction. The sellers, John Schnebly and Craig Wells, are successor co-trustees of the Berrien H Becks Sr Revocable Trust. Karis has retained the Cushman & Wakefield team to lease the development, which is near the intersection of Inter states 4 and 95. The buildings will feature cross-dock configurations, up to 100 dock doors, 40-foot clear heights, large truck courts and ample off-dock trailer parking. One building will have about 226,000 square Business NewsIt was a cheap way to get a piece of Florida paradise for retirees.Buy an inexpensive mobile or manufactured home and park it in a 55+ community with relatively low lot rent. With the cost of traditional housing, apartments or condos skyrocketing, it’s still a cheap way to go, but as management companies and investors pay huge sums for parks, it won’t be nearly as inexpensive. The latest eye-popping purchase is Bear Creek Village, which Phoenix, Ariz.-based Cove Communities just bought for $71.54 million. The park, developed in the mid-1990s off U.S. 1 and Airport Road in Ormond Beach, had never sold before. Still, at that price, you can bet rental increases are coming. It’s already happening at Terra Mar Village in Edgewater where 46 of the 274 lots are rentals. Three Pillar Communities of Los Altos, Calif., bought Terra Mar Village in Edgewater for $14.5 million. It previously sold for $1.95 million in 2005. While most of the residents there own their lots, they are getting hit with a sharp increase in the amenity and maintenance fee. The 46 renters are facing a large increase in rent, of course. Residents of another community in Southeast Volusia are probably about to get hit with increased lot rent. Bedrock Communities Management of New York bought the Eldorado Estates manufactured home park at 2320 Eslinger Road in New Smyrna Beach for $5.535 million. It previously sold for $2.795 million in 2003. As far as fighting increases in lot rental and amenity fees, there’s not a lot you can do. The owner does have to give a 90-day notice. Residents can form a committee, or the homeowners association if there is one, and petition the owner to justify the increase. If you’d like to read more, do an internet search for Florida Statute 723. The justification, of course, is the value of real estate in Florida is much higher than it was even three or four years ago, which is why investors are buying up every kind of property they can get their hands on. The fallout is that seniors on fixed incomes or young people just starting out, will have to pay more than they probably can afford if they want to live in a manufactured home park. *** Commercial real estate is hot these days. Besides the two mentioned above, some other recent transactions included Hanover Capital Partners of Orlando buying about 160 acres of vacant land along South Kepler Road in DeLand for about $4.8 million. D.R. Horton bought a batch of lots in Strickland Reserve in Daytona Beach for $4.64 million. A New Smyrna Beach couple bought the former school turned office complex at 747 S. Ridgewood Ave. in Daytona Beach for $2.05 million. A California investor bought the Cambridge Court Apartments at Eighth Street and State Avenue in Holly Hill for $1.45 million. An Orlando investor bought part of Woodland Plaza, including Big Lots store, at 911 N. Woodland Blvd. in DeLand for $1.4 million. A Daytona Beach real estate investor bought Sunshine Plaza, an office/retail property at 3624 S. Atlantic Ave. in Daytona Beach Shores, for $1.125 million. *** Some recent building starts include vertical construction starting on a six-story apartment building at OneDaytona. DME Sports Academy is building a soccer field on Bellevue Avenue, west of Clyde Morris Boulevard, in Daytona Beach. Site work is beginning soon on a new section of Latitude Margaritaville in Daytona Beach. Demolition is about to start on North Beach Street buildings in Daytona Beach to create site for Framework apartments. *** Some new plans of note include a self-storage facility at Tymber Creek Village, across from Latitude Landings on LPGA Boulevard in Daytona Beach. Tony Danza of Orlando (I don’t think it’s the “Who’s the Boss” and “Taxi” actor) wants to convert the property at 110 Indigo Drive in Daytona Beach into a restaurant incubator and commercial kitchen with residences. Astro Roofing wants to build a 2,100-squarefoot office building and a material storage yard at 5006 Ridgewood Ave. in Port Orange, across from All Aboard Flea & Farmers Market. *** On a final note, some retail stuff includes Claire’s, a Chicago area-based retailer of accessories, jewelry and toys primarily aimed at tween and teen girls, is going into Suite 110 at Tanger Factory Outlet Center in Daytona Beach. Signs are going up for Jungle Boys, a marijuana shop, at 1342 W. Interna tional Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach. Advance Auto Parts is going into 2200 W. International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach. Managing Editor Cecil G. Brumley has been tracking business and the economy in Volusia County for more than 25 years.

LaRoche Fruits, Furniture & Edible Nursery has been serving customers in Volusia County for more than 65 years. Owner Lew Stremovihtg kept the name after buying the business from the LaRoche family in 1978. Known initially for high quality fruit, the company has expanded to include furniture as well as durable medical equipment and building supplies. One might expect a fruit business to expand into groceries rather than furniture. “I don’t think anyone else in the state has a fruit and furniture business.” Mr. Stremovihtg said. He explained that being close to a major supermarket dissuaded him from attempting to sell groceries. Though when his mother owned the business, they did carry milk and eggs. Decision time came in 1991 when “citrus waned a little bit,” Mr. Stre movihtg said. “It was necessary to use the building for another purpose.” A friend suggested antique furniture. Ultimately, Mr. Stremovihtg decided not to sell antiques at that time because “the traffic on antique type furniture isn’t as high as people looking for items in their home.” The company sells well made used furniture that reflects an old American workmanship. You won’t find particle board at LaRoche. You will find some antique furniture. Mr. Stremovihtg said a lot of old furniture is mistaken for antique, although technically it is not.

A-12 • Ormond Beach/Daytona Beach/Holly Hill Beautiful day Randy Barber/staff photographerIt’s was a beautiful day for the OneDaytona Art Festival on Saturday, Oct. 22. SMA Healthcare granted $1M to enhance servicesGale Lemerand, an area businessman and philanthropist, donated $1 million to the SMA Healthcare Foundation to support SMA services and expand the Larry & Joan Kelly Scholarship Fund. The gift was announced at a joint annual meeting of the SMA Healthcare and SMA Healthcare Foundation boards Nov. 1. A portion of the funds will be used to help SMA fur ther its relationship with the University of Florida’s Center for Research. Funds also will be used to consolidate program services on the west side of Volusia County and enhance services at SMA’s WARM program and DeLand Men’s Residential Treatment Center. The Kelly Scholarship Fund will get $50,000 to expand the opportunity for students at more local colleges and universities, and SMA staff members, who are pursuing or advancing their careers in the healthcare field. “Over the years I’ve been witness to the amazing support SMA receives from this community and watched the organization grow and expand to try to meet the overwhelming needs of those living with addiction and mental health issues.” Mr. Lemerand stated in a news release. “I’m happy to be able to contribute to SMA and look forward to watching the organization continue to thrive.” Halifax Humane Society will no longer place dogs that have a history of biting or known aggressive behavior. The society will have to euthanize such dogs already in its care or ones that come to the shelter in the future. “It is HHS responsibility as a leader of animal welfare in the area to continue to place animals while prioritizing the best interest of the community and public safety,” society officials said. “This will impact our live release rate. As difficult as these decisions always are, it is important, in the spir it of transparency, to communicate how this will impact both the organization and the community moving forward.” Dogs with a prior history of aggressive behavior often will continue to be aggressive, the officials said. “HHS wants to place animals back in the community they too would welcome into our own homes and neighborhoods. HHS strives to give every animal every opportunity they can within its limited resources. One incident has the ability to cripple, or possibly even shut down, Halifax Humane Society. The number of animals potentially affected in that event would be devastating to the community.” HHS efforts to save as many lives as possible are ongoing, officials said. “HHS under stands the emotional impact the loss of lives has on everyone reading or hearing about this. In turn, please under stand the impact these decisions have on HHS staff and volunteers who care for and dedicate their lives to these animals daily.” The society’s board of directors met Friday, Nov. 4, to address a number of factors making it difficult for it to carry out its mission. “One of the biggest issues we face is overpopulation,” a society official stated in a news release. “There are more dogs coming in than going out. We are also facing contractual and legal hurdles which are further complicating our ability to strike a balance between dog intake and dog adoption.” The society has a contract with County of Volusia and some cities to serve as the stray animal intake center. “In the days ahead we will be working diligently to create a plan which ensures that our policies and procedures align with both our mission and the current environment at the shelter,” the official stated. “However, we remain resolute in our commitment to find a home for every adoptable animal in our care. And as a result, our policies and actions surrounding that commitment will remain unchanged.”Humane Society no longer taking dangerous dogsFor Hometown Newsnewsdy@hometownnews mediagroup.comFor Hometown Newsnewsdy@hometownnews mediagroup.com Mr. Lenerand

ZZ Top is bringing their Raw Whisky Tour to Daytona Beach’s Peabody Auditorium Friday, Nov. 11, more than 25 years since a May 11, 1997, perfor mance at the Ocean Center. The 1997 ZZ Top concert ranked as one of the top attended performances hosted at the Ocean Center since it opened in 1985 with just shy of 9,000 tickets sold as well as record-breaking concession and merchandise sales that night. “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” has been at it for well over a half century, delivering rock, blues and boogie on the road and in the studio to millions of devoted fans. With iconography as distinctive as their sound, ZZ Top is virtually synonymous with beards, hotrod cars, spinning guitars and that magic keychain, all of which transcend geography and language. As a touring band, they’ve been without peers over the past five decades, having performed before millions of fans on four continents and have been the subject of their own Grammy-nominated documentary, “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas.” The band’s line-up of the bearded Billy Gibbons and Dusty ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20You have an energy to release this week, Aries.

When Dusty temporarily departed the tour in summer 2021, it was a given that Elwood Francis would be the perfect choice to stand in until he could return. But Dusty’s return was not to be and Elwood continues to handle the bass duties for the band now and into the future. The elements that keep ZZ Top fresh, enduring and above the transitory fray can be summed up in the three words of the band’s internal mantra: “Tone, Taste and Tenacity.” As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers. Their influences are both the originators of the form – Muddy Waters, B.B. King, et al – as well as the British blues rockers and Jimi Hendrix who emerged in the generation before ZZ’s ascendance. They have sold hundreds of millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of the State of Texas, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms. They are true rock icons and, against all odds, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. ZZ Top abides. Tickets range from $49.50 to $114.50 plus applicable sur charges and are available at ticketmaster.com or between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday at the Peabody Box Office.

The State of Florida is one of the most fished places in the world and therefore very regulated. The state does give a discount to all military personnel, both retired and active. In Florida, anyone over the age of 65 or under 16 will not need a fishing license. That is great for most of us Vietnam era vets and surely includes all Korean war veterans. The annual resident fee for a state fresh or salt water license is $17 each, but the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission offers the Military Gold license for $20 a year. That gives vets and active military the same privileges as the $100 Gold Sportsman’s license that is offered to the general public. That includes hunting, saltwater fishing, fresh water fishing, deer, wildlife management areas, archery, muzzle-loading weapons, crossbow, turkey, waterfowl, snook and lobster stamps. It does not include a tarpon stamp, alligator trapping, migratory bird stamp or a federal duck stamp. Those eligible for the Military Gold are active and retired members of the armed services, reserves, Florida National Guard, U.S. Coast Guard and Coast Guard Reserves. Folks this is a very nice break for Florida’s military personnel. To take advantage, you must be stationed in the state or claim Florida as your primary residence. To apply see gooutdoorsflorida.com on the net or visit the office of any tax collector. Any Florida resident who can show authorized leave papers and are home for 30 days or less are exempt from all license requirements. Valid documents must be carried at all times when fishing or hunting. I love it that the state rule of allowing anyone to fish from shore with any pole that does not have a reel (retractable device) means the cane pole rule is still in place. Most of us began that way and you can still fish in the same manner without a license. Remember all state rules governing the take of fish and wildlife are still in place whether you need a license or not. Any severely disabled person need not have a license, but must apply with corroborative documents to the FWC for a free permit. If you fish in a private pond of 20 acres or less, no license is required. When fishing with a valid state licensed charter, no license is needed. Same is true when hunting on a blanket hunt preserve. Yes, I realize there is a lot to know. In fact, so much info is out there I couldn’t possibly list it all here, but I believe this will give you the basics. Military people be sure to carry proper identification in order to avoid problems. Remember folks, being able to fish and hunt the state is a privilege. Laws are in place to protect our precious resources. If we are careful in the way we handle wildlife and obey the rules, we just may preserve fishing and hunting for our grandchildren. Have fun, but treat nature with respect. Florida is truly an outdoors wonderland here for all to enjoy and hopefully in perpetuity.
