Many who know Barbara Woodburn know her for her passion for bridge and teaching others to learn and love the game. What they may not know is that when she was a teenager she helped build bombers.

“I was at a bomber plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan,” she said. “I had just gradu-ated and was in junior col-lege.”

Woodburn decided to take a break from college and follow her two sisters who moved to Ypsilanti from their home in Iowa to live with relatives and find work in the bomber plant.

“The war was going, and jobs were available at

the bomber plant,” Wood-burn said. “I thought, ‘This is great! Why don't I do this?'”

Woodburn saw it as a way to contribute to the war effort while saving money to attend Iowa State College.

“It was a wonderful ex-perience for a teenager,” she said.

Rosie the Riveter is an icon from World War II, a woman, her biceps flexed. The image repre-sents women's contribu-tion while most of the men were away.

water woes By Jacque Estes | Staff Writer

Pursuit of clear drinking waterCity of Bunnell, Flagler County are exploring options to ensure Plantation Bay residents have quality water.

Residents should soon be seeing clear water coming out of their faucets soon.

“Well No. 1 is back online as of (March 9),” said Bill Green, utilities director for the city of Bunnell. “We re-placed the well pump and some of the piping, valves and other mechanical parts.”

The repairs will improve the color-ation, one of the problems residents had been experiencing. He also gave a tour to residents on Feb. 11 (see Page 2 for the full story.)

water woes, continued By Maria Peters | Contributing Writer

Bill Green, utilities sirector for the city of Bunnell and op-erations director for Plantation Bay’s water and wastewater treatment facility, made good on a promise made during a Jan. 26 board meeting (see Page 5 for the full story) and conducted his first plant tour for residents on Feb. 11.

The three-hour tour coincided with news that he was send-ing out a Florida Department of Environmental Protection-re-quired letter that the plant’s wa-

ter has violated the number on trihalomethanes and haloacetic acid testing (TTHM-HHA) by ex-ceeding EPA standards.

“We did not meet the require-ments for drinking water stan-dards, but we are going to cor-rect the situation,” Green told residents. “This is a notice, and you have a right to know. It is not something that just happened. It’s an annual average.”

Green said a few people had been discussing the issue in on-line chat rooms, and he hoped to address their concerns.

“When utility does tours, I want to clear the air,” he said. “We are working here all of the time. I can stand in a meeting and tell you things but that only means so much. I want you to see for yourself before you form an opinion.”

Green said TTHM has been a problem for many years. He showed data in his office to the tour group from the year 2007 onward that “the numbers were out there for years.”

“It is better to know and solve it on a permanent basis,” he said. “The numbers were based on an average testing over the last year.”

He added: “If you drink gallons of water a day with a high TTHM

over 25-30 years, you have the possibility of getting sick from liver or kidney damage or can-cer,” he warned.

Resident Tony Law on tour from the Bay Isle Subdivision, said, “I don’t mind flushing my toilet or washing my car, but I don’t want to drink the water. What degree of assurance — or can you offer us any hope?”

“I feel we have made correc-tions at the plant to keep it at the right levels,” Green said. “Now we have to get it down in the field. It’ll take 2-3 quarters below

threshold before the state sees our progress,” he said. “And, in answer to your question, ‘If you invited me to your house tomor-row and you gave me a drink of water — yes, I would drink it.”.

Jack Wilson from Prestwick subdivision asked, “What about the people who already have cancer?”

Green said, “I am not a physi-cian and not a scientist. If you feel the need to get bottled wa-ter, do so. Remember that some of that bottled water comes from where? It comes from someone

else’s plant, and it’s stored in plastic.”

Ideally, Green would like to see a new facility, but it’s unlikely that will happen any time soon.

He inherited an antiquated water and water-treatment sys-tem that had a history of viola-tions.

In February 2013, the Flagler County Board of Commission-ers entered into an agreement with the city of Bunnell paying $5.5 million for the Plantation Bay Utilities. The county is in charge of replacing needed com-ponents of the system while the city of Bunnell, with Green at the helm, is in charge of the day-to-day operations and billings.

“This plant has been here since 1986, but it was already 10-15 years old before it was brought up from another place and put together,” Green told his visitors.

“The county is investing every penny it gets back into the sys-tem. It is more important that we fix things so that we don’t get in trouble with EPA and take care of operational stuff and then look at the aesthetics,” he said.

“My job, as operations direc-tor, is take what I have, correct it and move on,” he added. “We knew that the plant was in bad shape and that is why we bought it. But how much is peace of mind worth? We want to give you

Official attempts to ‘clear the air’ at plant tourAt a Feb. 11 tour, water plant manager Bill Green explained the state of the plant.

Jack Wilson, a resident of Plantation Bay’s Prestwick subdivision, points to the lime silo structure which eventually will be replaced. Director Bill Green calls it a “mechanical nightmare.”

What are trihalomethanes?

Trihalomethanes occur when naturally-occurring organic and inorganic mate-rials in the water react with the disinfectants, chlorine and chloramine.

Some people who drink water containing total triha-lomethane in excess of the MCL over many years could experience liver, kidney or central nervous system prob-lems and increased risk of cancer.

ation. It may take about a week before residents see changes,” he said.

Some of the preliminary tests were received for the 4-inch drill the first week of March have officials weighing the options.

“We had a meeting and de-termined we need more back-ground information for wells 1

and 2,” Green said. Green said the results were

still high, and it was important to determine exactly where the issue is originating.

“If we have a ground water issue, then the trouble is at the source. If we have to drill a new well, it wouldn't make sense to drill a new well in the same spot.”

The city is waiting for all of the testing to be completed.

Green expects to have those results in less than a month.

“If I drill a new well, I need to know whether I should go north or south,” he said.

The transfer of the plant to Flagler County will be complet-ed once the financial arrange-ments have been made. “The process is moving forward,” Green said. “As far as I know, they are just waiting for all of the financial to be completed.”

Westlake President’s Message

Update for our Westlake residents

Happy spring to all the residents! With the perfect weather we hope to see everyone out and about enjoying the beautiful weather.

Because of the beauti-ful Florida weather, the Westlake Neighborhoods have a lot of new homes being built. Because of this, we have been in close contact with ICI and Kargar homes to ensure that con-struction site areas remain clean. Building is always a good thing for property val-ues in Plantation Bay, but we want to make sure there are very few disruptions for our existing residents.

On the maintenance side of things, Steve Martin’s crew from Landcare has been busy mulching all the beds in Westlake and getting ready for the grow-ing season by trimming shrubs and making sure the common areas look good. Please let us know if you see anything maintenance-wise that might need to be addressed.

Lastly, you have seen our new sign in the Westlake Park. It was just installed and looks great. We hope all residents can find the time to enjoy the park, especially for this beautiful spring weather.—Gregory P. Brousse,Westlake Homeowners Association president

the best water we can.”Among issues facing the op-

eration are replacing a lime silo structure, which Green calls a “mechanical nightmare.” The steel chlorine contact cham-ber has to be replaced with a

poly-tank.“And If we get all four wells

running, we’d have plenty of water,” Green said.

Currently, wells 3 and 4 are down.

“We’ll find out whether we should get new wells or if the geologist feels we can fix these wells,” he said.

During the tour, Green looked at some of the struc-tures at the plant and said he had never run across anything like them in his entire career.

At the conclusion of the tour, Green said, “I hope you’ll talk to your neighbors and tell them about what you’ve seen and heard today.”

about Rosie the Riveter, but what they don't know is it took two people to do the job,” Woodburn said. “Rosie with the gun and a helper to hold the bar. I was the helper.”

She stayed a year-and-a-half and as the war and the produc-tion at the bomber plant began to slow down, she attended Iowa State College, now Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, to resume her college studies in math and education.

“It was a great experience, and we had a wonderful time,” she said. “One of my sisters met her future husband at the plant.”

Clock watching was not a part of the job, and Woodburn

isn't positive about how many hours they put in each day, but said it was eight or nine.

“My partner, a little gal from Alabama, and I worked pri-marily on the stabilizer,” she said. “The B24 has two per-pendicular things with a big thing in the middle — that was called the stabilizer, and that's what we did.”

They learned on the job how to hold the bar correctly so the riveter gun would flatten the rivets properly.

“They told us, ‘You two are going to work together and here is what you are going to do.’”

All of the work was regularly inspected.

“If she didn't place the gun right or I didn't hold the bar right, the rivet would have

to come out, and that would leave a bigger hole which is what you didn’t want,” she said. “Most of the time, our work passed inspection.”

She laughed when recall-ing the effect her partner from Alabama had on her. “When I came home,” she said, I had a Southern accent.”

Woodburn said there were men at the plant, too — not a lot, but some: men with 4F classification and ineligible to go to war.

“It was a very diverse group of people working together. I was meeting people from dif-ferent backgrounds, a great opportunity for a teenager.”

WOODBURN / FROM PAGE 1


Once upon a time there were no televisions, no computers, no telephones, but there were play-ing cards. Games were played in royal mansions, homes and taverns. Bridge, derived from Whist, a game played by the Brit-ish starting in the 16th century, is still the card game of choice in Plan-tation Bay.

It’s hard not to find a bridge game going at Club de Bonmont. From Monday through Friday different groups meet to play, and there is a group for ev-ery skill level and style preference.

Never having played bridge is not an excuse not to join in the fun. There is a group that ca-ters to beginning and less ex-perienced players and there are those who will teach you how to play the game.

Barbara Woodburn moved

to Plantation Bay in 1989 and found established bridge groups in her new community. In 1990 she started the Friday duplicates with Ann Clapham. The Friday group continues to meet.

“I have all of the records back to 1990,” Woodburn said.

Being in a com-munity with ac-tive bridge groups was important to Woodburn.

“I played bridge practically all of my life,” she said. “My par-ents played, so I watched them, and in college there was always a bridge game go-ing. You learn by doing.”

After marrying her husband, also a bridge player, they made it a point to find people who played bridge wherever they lived

“If four people can get togeth-er and want to have classes, I am pretty much available for anyone

who wants to begin,” she said. “I taught bridge for the Flager County School System.”

Woodburn also wrote a teach-ing program for the game.

One of her students is Karen Stenhouse, who started playing seven years ago and now heads up the Wednesday afternoon contract bridge group. “I took lessons from Barbara Woodburn, and she's a very good teacher. It's a good idea to get out and play and practice.”

All are welcome to join the Wednesday group but those in-terested are asked to sign up be-fore coming to a game.

“We have a mixed group, not all one skill level,” she said. “It does help if the beginners have some experience.”

Stenhouse says there are

health benefits to playing the game.

“Bridge takes a great deal of focus, memory and attention to detail,” she said. “It's a really good way to stimulate the gray matter up there.”

For many like Stenhouse, be-coming involved with the bridge groups is a good way to meet

your new neighbors and get in-volved in the community.

“When you first move in, you start meeting new people and learning about different ac-tivities,” she said. “We play five rounds of four hands and we fin-ish about 3:30 p.m., and we wa-ger 50 cents.”

The other Wednesday group lead by B.Z. Westervelt starts at 11 a.m., breaks for lunch and re-turns to the tables about 1 p.m.

It was standing room only at Plantation Bay Community Association’s Board of Directors’ first meeting of the year on Jan. 26 at Club de Bonmont.

Flagler County Engineer Faith Alkhatib, County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin and Bunnell Utilities Director Bill Green made an appearance. There was also a slide show from pro bono beautification landscape architect Michael Weremay, who showed the crowd options for three different cost levels of maintenance for a proposed landscaping project at the U.S. 1 entrance of Plantation Bay.

The board took action and inched clos-er to a maintenance contract agreement with Flagler County on the landscaping project, which would be made possible with a $500,000 grant from the Florida De-partment of Transportation. The money is only available if the community agrees to fund the perpetual landscaping mainte-nance.

Before the vote, Alkhatb reminded the board, “Grant money is still available, but it is first come, first serve. We have been talking about this for a long time — five months now.”

Board President John Gamin remarked, “We have to make a decision today, or the money will go away.”

A motion was made by Gamin, second-ed by Roy Brewer and unanimously ap-proved to move forward with negotiations with the county on a contract for mainte-nance on the project.

Gavin’s motion to enter with the county for perpetual maintenance is contingent upon developer ICI and the Westlake community agreeing to the funding.

The location of the project will stretch for a total of 1.5 miles in the median.

The center will be the red light at U.S. 1 entry, north to the Eagle Rock subdivision and south to the form U.S. Food entrance.

Flagler County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin’s appearance and the subse-quent Flagler County Commission’s ac-tion also throws something new into the mix. Plantation Bay’s two entrances are situated at two of the five gateways into Flagler County.

McLaughlin said because of this, he was willing to go back to Flagler County with his support for installing a gateway sign near the U.S. 1 entry into Plantation Bay — the same site as the beautification project. At the Feb. 2 commission meet-ing, there was a consensus to discuss a “Welcome to Flagler County” gateway sign on the same site. The commission will hold a workshop in March to begin a grant search.

If the gateway project goes forward, the board is asking for their contract with the county to contain language allowing for modification or reduction of Plantation Bay’s area of maintenance responsibility.

If finally approved, resident Michael Weremay, of M.J. Weremay Design LLC, will be the pro bono landscape architect on the project. He said at the meeting, “It’ll be eye-catching and a name recog-nition for Plantation Bay. It’s all about branding. We are talking about enhanced value.”

Weremay presented a slide show dis-playing three different levels of beautifi-cation. He was assisted by Steve Martin, of Landcare Management Inc.

“The highest and most elaborate of the designs would cost each homeowner about $15 a year,” Weremay said. “After one year, the maintenance will divert to the homeowners. Duration is forever, and there will be a contractural agreement with the county. The county can’t com-mit to this project until there is a commit-ment from you to maintain.”

But that cost may go down consider-ably if ICI and Westlake join in and /or the county gateway sign goes through.

SecurityDonna Velardi, head of security, re-

minded residents that if there is anything requiring law enforcement, security can’t be called.

“We cannot respond to incidents that should got to the Sheriff’s Department. We can only advise. We do not respond to neighbors’ spats and security cannot en-force CC & Rs.”

Water plantUtilities Director Bill Green from the

city of Bunnell and operations director of Planation Bay’s utility plant made an ap-pearance in response to what he called “disturbing allegations” about the water being unsafe to drink because of discolor-ation. He sent out a letter to residents on Jan. 23 about the status of the potable wa-ter system. Green answered complaints about discoloration and assured residents that it was not harmful in any way.

“I can’t just flip a switch and fix it, but I am here to give you the best water that I can,” Green said.

“I would like to be kind enough an at-tend every board meeting that I possibly can and open up the doors of communi-cation to give residents an update. I am also planning on conducting tours of the facility so people can see what we are do-ing.

keeper of the gate By Donna Velardi | Security Director

What can you do to keep your home safe?Spring has sprung, and the

daylight will continue to become longer with each passing day. This weather will bring more ac-tivity into the community. Walk-ing, jogging, riding bikes, etc.

Please remem-ber the road is shared by all.

After 6 pm you are travel-ing the commu-nity roads with your neighbors.

VendorsAll vendors

have left the community by

6 p.m., as well. The construction hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon-day through Saturday.

There are exceptions, however. Sunday work sometimes be-comes necessary to meet dead-lines. Normally, security is noti-fied if there is a need for Sunday work. If you witness construc-tion work on a Sunday, please notify security.

If security is aware, they will advise you of the exception. If they are not aware, they will go to the site to have the offenders pack up and leave.

When an incident occurs, se-curity writes an incident report to have on file. The notification of offenders will be brought to the contractor who is respon-sible for the site the offender has been ask to vacate.

Lock your vehiclesThere are incidents which oc-

cur in our community that secu-rity is not always aware of. There has been activity in Flagler and Volusia counties that gated com-munities are not excluded from. Flagler and Volusia Sheriff’s of-fices have asked that I notify resi-dents of the following.

Lock your vehicles when you are not occupying them, Parking your vehicles in your driveway does not necessarily make them secure.

Lock your home when you are inside and away from your home. A gated community does not protect you from incidents that occur in non-gated commu-nities.

Valuables should be kept in an area in which a thief does not go to immediately for access. Valu-ables do not belong in a jewelry armoire or jewelry box in your bedroom or your nightstand drawer. Any valuables should be kept in a secure area of your home that you do not share with anyone other than your imme-diate family members who may need to remove the valuables because of a hurricane or fire, etc. Don’t keep large amounts of money anywhere from purse to house, mark all your valuables with an identification number or name, and take photos of any valuables. Having photos helps law enforcement.

If you have photos of items which have been taken and the thief attempts to pawn your valuables, the photos will help identify your items for law en-forcement. Unfortunately, you do

not live in a secured, locked com-munity. Security controls gate ac-cess, but we do not protect you and your valuables from anyone or anything.

‘Lived-in’ appearanceThis is no time to be compla-

cent. Many criminals prey on people who are off guard. Crimi-nals look for people who are not paying attention to their sur-roundings, and then use the ele-ment of surprise to their advan-tage. A residence which presents a “lived-in” appearance is a de-terrent to burglars. Never leave notes that can inform a burglar that your house is unoccupied. Make certain all windows and doors are secured before depart-ing. An empty garage advertises your absence, so close the doors. Do not leave door keys under flower pots or doormats, inside an unlocked mailbox (Westlake area) over the doorway, or in other obvious places.

When going out at night (din-ner, movie, shopping), leave a light on inside your home. Tim-ers may be purchased that will turn lights on and off during your absence for extended time away from home. When you are

home, you can turn your porch lights on at night to prevent any break-ins or burglary and lock your door at all times.

Strangers at the doorBe suspicious of strangers who

come to your door. Never auto-matically open your front door. Make sure you know your caller’s identity if the caller is unknown to you ask for identification to be passed under the door before admitting him or her. If the per-son is unwilling to identify him or herself don’t open your door.

Visitors listAll residents need to update

your visitor list every six months or when you change vendors. Vendors on your visitor list, lawn care, pool, health care, and care-giver stay on your list permanent and do not require you to notify the gate for access. If you change any of the above it is your re-sponsibility to notify property management of your changes or you can sign into your CapSure account and make the changes yourself.

A resident guest stays on your list permanent and does not re-quire you to call your guest in; the visitor will receive a one-day pass. However, the pass can be extended for a week to 10 days for a short stay at your request. A permanent visitor is a visi-tor who at your request receives a 30-day pass. The only time a 30-day pass should be issued is when you have a house guest who is staying for an extended

visit. Vendors do not receive a 30-day pass. This is a safety pre-caution to prevent passes be-coming lost or passed to some-one else for access. A visitor who has a pass is required to show his or her driver’s license at all times when gaining access into the community. There are no excep-tions; please advise your visitors. The security staff is doing the due diligence to control gate ac-cess into your community.

Alligator mating seasonReminder: Alligator mating

season begins the middle of March. This will have the alliga-tors moving from pond to pond. For a sighting of an alligator, please notify security. Do not feed alligators and or any other wildlife. This is a danger to you and the wildlife.

Wildlife has instincts to pro-tect themselves from harm; hu-mans feeding the wildlife does not help the animal it only dis-ables — especially the young wildlife. Wildlife can turn on a human in an instant. Please use caution and do not break the law. The game warden can arrest you if someone reports feeding of the wild animals.

Contact securityIf you need assistance access-

ing CapSure, staff can help. For emergencies, call 911 first, then security. ODH Main gate 386-437-2496 or U.S. 1 South 386-672-5680. Non-Emergency num-ber for the Flagler Sheriff Office: 437-4116; Volusia Sheriff: 248-1777 or 736-5999.

for the love of reading By Jacque Estes | Staff Writer

Bookworms in Plantation BayThe Plantation Bay Book Club first

met at least 8½ years ago according to long-time member and reader, Maryel-len Weingarten. Word got out, and the group grew to 60 members, with 25-30 regularly attending the book discussions 2:30-4 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month, at the conference room at the Prestwick Club.

“Others ... participate using the club website,” Debbie Fadde said.

Occasionally the suggestion to split off into smaller groups is made but never re-alized.

“We've all made so many friends — no one wants to do that,” Weingarten said.

Designed by former member Susan Gillmer, the website includes the read-ing list through June 2015, complete with the discussion questions and an author bio. There is also a book recom-mendation archive. Fadde has taken on the daunting task of maintaining the website. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61426970/BC/Book_Club/Wel-come.html,

The website benefits those who might not want to, or be able to, attend the meetings.

“People that can't come out follow along on the website and read the book,” Fadde said.

Books are selected from recommenda-tions from club members. Fadde com-piles the list and writes a brief synopsis about each and the author, and the mem-

bers vote on which book they want to read as a group.

With 60 people reading the same books there are going to be varying tastes, but this diversity is a plus for Fadde who en-joys historical fiction.

“A good part about the book club is it forces you to read outside your normal genre,” she said.

“‘State of Wonder’ was not my favorite book but all of the discussions are good to me,” Weingarten said. “The discussion gives a whole new way to look at the book.”

Participants have included the author themselves.

“A couple of times we had the opportu-nity where we had the pleasure of includ-ing the author,” Fadde said. “The Kitchen House,” by Kathleen Grissom, was one such conference call with the club.

Weingarten enjoys the camaraderie and support of the group.

“I don't see a lot of judgment in our group,” she said. “And there are some who don't say anything, they just listen.”

The club is open to all readers in Planta-tion Bay.

“Our feeling is someone who wants to come and read is welcome to join us,” Fadde said. “You can just show up.”

In October the group meets with the Westlake book club, a smaller group that does meet in member's homes to share a book and fellowship.

“People that read are really nice peo-ple,” Weingarten said.

‘Fore’ the ChildrenWith a little help from their friends, the fifth-annual Children's Museum Golf Classic tees off March 30.

In 2010 George Fortuna and Mike Arm-strong decided to establish a golf tourna-ment specifically for the Museum of Arts and Sciences children’s museum. Five years later, the tournament has become a popular annual event.

“The guild is always looking for fund-raisers,” Fortuna said. “First it was the Festival of Trees and the Halifax Art Festi-val. All of the money goes to the children’s part of the museum.”

This year’s event is on Monday, March 30, with a four-player scramble, shotgun start at 9 a.m. at the Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club.

Sponsorship is important to all non-profit organizations, and Glenn Yar-brough, senior vice president wealth ad-viser at Merrill Lynch, is a valued sponsor of the golf classic.

“Being involved in a number of dif-ferent nonprofit organizations, Glenn Yarbrough has seen the benefit in being involved in a cause. Whether it is for end-of-life care with Hospice or to help local homeless families with children, there is a lot to be said about giving not only time, but money, to a cause,” said Fortuna in an email.

“Our team is proud to be working to-gether with the Guild of the MOAS in their efforts to nurture kids’ positive growth with the Children’s Museum,” said Yarbrough stated in a press release. “We support many causes within our community because of a strong personal connection. We believe it is important to recognize our success and return it to the communities we live in. We call it paying it forward and try to live and work by the words of our vision: Transforming Pas-sion into Action.”

The Charles and Linda Williams Chil-dren’s Museum opened two years before the first golf club was swung for its ben-efit. The youngsters wing is 9,300 square feet and the only hands-on science cen-ter between Orlando and Jacksonville.

Financial gain from last year’s tourna-ment resulted in new computers for the children to use. Previous golf classics at Plantation Bay have funded the purchase of new exhibits, and funding for supplies for the education department.

“You don’t have to attend the golf tour-nament to support the Children’s Mu-seum. You can join us by choosing to in-vest in the museum today,” Fortuna said. “Much progress has been made in the development of continuing education, but there is still a long way to go, and we need your help. Nothing is more reward-ing that making a donation to a worthy cause. Contact the museum directly at: 352 S. Nova Road, Daytona Beach, FL. 386-255-0285 or visit www.moas.org.”

The entry deadline is March 23. The fee is $125 for those not a member of the country club and a discounted rate of $85 for members. To register or for more in-formation, email [email protected] or call, 386-437-2604.

While golfers play the course for the cause, they will also get a continental breakfast, range balls prior to play, the use of a beverage cart with snacks and drinks, a commemorative golfer gift pack, and on-course contests. Prizes are awarded to the top teams, top ladies teams, top co-ed teams and top 9 holes. There is also a hole-in-one prize and a putting contest. The event concludes with an awards cel-ebration and silent auction, and a barbe-cue at Club de Bonmont.
