Think of the word “positive” and it can be interesting when you dig a little. In the health related world “positive” can be a neg-ative, as when a medical test has indicated a “positive” result, showing disease, a lump or mass, etc. In the attitude realm, however, where many of our decisions are made, it’s a different story. When looking up synonyms for ‘positive’, one finds words like ‘upbeat’, ‘optimistic’, ‘encouraging’, ‘constructive’, and ‘confident’. That’s the positive we’re looking at in DeLeon Springs, although in a time like this where much of the news media focuses on the negative, we may have to dig a little deeper to shut out the negative static. But the positive is here, so let’s refocus to an optimistic, encouraging and upbeat conversation. DeLeon Springs is about to embark on a trip “back to the future”, a time when this community had a thriving downtown area and people who drove through would stop and spend some time and not just think of us as a state park. You can read more within, to learn about the exciting improvements coming to our business corridor. Our Chuck Lennon (County Park) Mountain Biking Trail is consistently rated in the top five to ten trails, and thanks to Kevin Phelps and his volunteers, it’s now considered a “destination trail” with over 10 miles of biking trails that serve everyone from toddlers with training wheels to the most daring trail riders seeking jumps and thrills galore. DeLeon Springs State Park offers hiking trails, areas to bike, picnic, boat, swim, and a new kayak launcher, donated by the DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. Take a tour with Capt. Frank and his guides on the Fountain of Youth Eco-History Tour boat, or indulge in a delicious meal at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill Restaurant while taking in this ecological wonder. Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge was established as a migratory bird refuge in 1964 and is open free-of-charge year round for bird watching, fishing, hiking, biking and fee-based hunting. LWNWR is renown as a nesting site for migrating swal-low tailed kites. These spectacular birds can be seen “eating on the fly”, throughout the spring and early summer. Spring Garden Ranch, North America’s largest standard bred horse training facility, continues to be the place “Where Winners Winter” and each year, the cream of the standard bred horse training world bring their winners to work out in our mild winter climate on the outstanding clay track here in DeLeon Springs. Every spring, you can take a picnic lunch or hot beverage and sit to watch these beauties workout beginning around 7:00 a.m., then take in “Matinee Day” in March to watch them qualify. Places like Vo-LaSalle Farms in the spring, and Spring Garden Vineyards in the fall are teaming with families enjoying locally grown produce, grapes, fresh squeezed OJ and frozen grape pops. U-pick vegetables and grapes are the best! DeLeon Springs is a thriving community of enthusiastic people. And as stewards of these natural jewels, we protect them with proactive interactions with our county and state government entities. If this sounds positive to you, we encourage you to come help us in “Making DeLeon Springs a Better Place to Live, Work and Play” and be part of the revitalization of DeLeon Springs.

On Tuesday, May 19, 2020, just before lunchtime, at the Volusia County Council meeting, the future of DeLeon Springs changed, in an instance, from a perpetual economic stagnancy to a bright future for our business community again. Once upon a time, the community of DeLeon Springs was a thriving hub for the citrus, cattle, and timber industries. Early on it was known as Spring Garden, and people like Frederick Northrup Burt, the wealthy owner of the F.N. Burt Boxing Company moved from Buffalo, New York to the DeLeon Springs area. In 1912, Burt purchased 5,000 acres and planned areas for livestock, agriculture, and housing. A portion of the acreage was set aside as a ranch on which to build barns, a water tower and other structures, where he maintained his own livestock and horses, founding the Spring Gar-den Ranch, which eventually became a standard bred horse training facility in 1949. Crews cleared large sections of land where he tried his hand at planting a variety of crops such as corn, watermelon, sugar cane, pineapple and even cotton.

Real estate development also interested Burt and he developed a housing community for the semi-retired to winter in, called Burwyn Park. The development included mod-ern innovations such as paved sidewalks, a water system and even a golf course and community center for social occasions. Burt tried to purchase the flourishing DeLeon Spring Attraction which offered a hotel, restaurant, and ‘casino’, which in that day meant gathering place, not gambling estab-lishment. When Burt’s offer was turned

down, he purchased the property next door on Spring Garden Lake, drilled an artesian well and created Burt’s Park, undercutting DeLeon Spring Attraction’s ten cent admis-sion price by five cents and making it a popular recreation spot for the middle class. Families like the Strawn's came from Illinois to participate in the burgeoning citrus in-dustry. Son Theodore developed his own “Bob White” brand of orange and erected the Theodore Strawn Packing House. When the original building burned down in

1921, he vowed to rebuild one that could not burn down and used innova-tive technology to build a structure of concrete and metal, remnants of which still stand today. The packing house used innovative conveyor belt systems to move oranges into crates marked for different branded oranges such as the Volusia, the Intrinsic and the Bob White. Crates were then loaded onto refriger-ated rail cars for shipment of fresh citrus to points North. The famous DeSoto House Hotel was known as a winter getaway for presidents and dignitaries who headed out on the St.

John’s River for long sport fishing excursions. Through the years, people remember a community that was quaint and ‘Mayberry-like”, as locals often describe it. It had a sweet little downtown with small, locally-owned busi-nesses that served the community’s needs but drew ‘outsiders’ to enjoy their services too, on the way to or from DeLeon Spring for a cool dip and some delectable pancakes at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill Restaurant. Over the decades though, DeLeon Springs took several tragic hits that began to dim the glow of its beauty. In the 1950s through 1960s, in a system designed to distribute goods quickly, the Department of Transportation decided to put a 4-lane highway right down the middle of this quaint little town. They rerouted the main thoroughfare and paved over the front of business parcels, making them increasingly hard to build on or sell. Legislation and more stringent codes for the separation of business wells from their own, and adjacent, septic systems, continued to squeeze tighter setback requirements on businesses as concern for the public’s health and protection of the drinking water supply mounted with Florida’s population increases.

Then, in the mid-1980s, the Johnson family found gasoline in their drinking water, and one of the largest underground fuel plumes in Florida was discovered, migrating westward toward our beloved DeLeon Spring. Downtown businesses were forced to share new wells put in by the predecessor of the FDEP, and businesses began to close or choose to go elsewhere due to the lack of water and wastewater infrastructure crucial to modern businesses. In 2010, the DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. embarked on a quest to bring this critical infrastructure to the busi-ness community, and to McInnis Elementary School, where the water was often undrinkable and they struggled with a prob-lematic wastewater package plant. We educated ourselves on the fact that City of DeLand was our area service provider. As an unincorporated community, we needed Volusia County’s help and we needed a USDA grant and loan to pay for it all. A general contractor and EPI Engineering in DeLand donated thousands of dollars-worth of time and talent to help us. Over 51% of our landowners along US Highway 17 signed petitions to have a Special Assessment District formed, that they would have to repay annually for 20 years, just to save their properties and businesses. But misfortune struck again, with an economic downturn that forced Volusia County to withdraw their help, and back we went to decay, crumbling septic systems and boarded up buildings. For ten years we have seen other communities recover, while we continued to slide backward, falling farther behind any abil-ity to meet code requirements… and then a funny thing happened. The Florida Legislature identified the Top 30 Outstanding Springs in Florida, and our DeLeon Spring was on the list! They tasked the FDEP with forming a plan to rescue these impaired springs, and the FDEP responded with BMAPs: Basin Management Action Plans, which they, in turn, told affected counties they would have to comply with, coming up with ways to restore and protect these outstanding jewels. When Volusia County Utilities Director Mike Ulrich got the news, he admittedly was not enthusiastic about coming up with a plan for DeLeon Springs, which is not even in his service area. But he and his staff dutifully complied with the FDEP by having engineering firm Jones Edmunds do the required study and he contacted the DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. about hosting a public meeting for the data to be shared and community input to be received. What Mike, Jones Edmund and other officials found was a passionate, unincorporated community that has been slowly dying on the vine for decades. And Mike saw that we adore our beloved Spring, and care about a way of life that is disappearing quickly in Florida. He found that we like being small and quaint, we just don’t enjoy being in a state of perpetual decay. The next thing we knew, Michael Ulrich was on a roll. He’s not known as “Aqua Man” for nothing. Mike in essence asked the FDEP to put their money where their mouth was and, in conjunction with Terry Lowery from Jones Edmunds, was able to get the FDEP to agree to a $2,500,000.00 grant for a project to bring water and wastewater lines to our crumbling business com-munity, and to connect to McInnis Elementary School, who desperately needed these improvements. The DSCA, Inc. wrote letters, conducted meetings to inform our community, sent e-mails to officials and shook every bush contacting landowners again, who were every bit as happy to sign on as they were a decade ago, while holding our breath that this could finally be the miracle we needed. When County Councilman Deb Denys invited us to her office to give us an opportunity to help her better understand what our community’s needs were, we felt our voices were being heard, and when we left that meeting, we knew we had been. On May 19, 2020, just before noon, the world changed for DeLeon Springs. Every County Councilman paid attention to Mike Ulrich’s outstanding presentation, outlining the need to protect DeLeon Spring, the drinking water supply, our kids at the school, and our business community. When we got up to speak for our three minutes, every Councilman looked us in the eye, listened, showed they cared about this little neglected jewel, and with their unanimous vote to approve “Item 10”, they backed it up with action. This was the finest of government in action, to see the State, County, and local community work in tandem to do what is right to protect the Florida we love. So often we hear people deride “government”, as though it’s some soulless behemoth, and at times it can seem that way. But this time, it was people, who were in positions with abilities to affect positive change, who committed time, energy, and money to protect a spring and a community, now and for future generations. This time, people, yes government, acted on something greater than ourselves. This was a shining moment we can all feel good about, and our descendants will benefit from, long after we are gone.

So, Back to the Future, DeLeon Springs, we’re on a roll!

A Breath of Fresh Air

By McInnis Elementary School Teacher Sonia Larrabee

How this Media Center landscaping project came together was truly refreshing, inspirational, and humbling – all at the same time. The outdoor space in front of our Media Center was an eyesore that had remained untouched for years, allowing na-ture to run amok. A tree had died, invasive plants choked out the hibiscus, and iris plants had become overgrown. The grassy walking area was now only weeds, and stones and plaques honoring past McInnis heroes were positioned in a way that gave the appearance of a graveyard. Thinking back to what this area used to look like before its transformation makes me now realize that a true miracle occurred on our campus just after Spring Break. We had planned a Spring Break work day, inviting community members, parents, and staff to assist in beautifying the area in front of the Media Center. The goal was to create an inviting space to enjoy as an outdoor classroom site. However, the night before, our school district began implementing CDC guidelines, so I hastily sent out emails to volunteers saying we needed to cancel the work. Fortunately for us, not all of our supporters received the message. Several arrived ready to work and before I could turn them away, they had hatched a plan to ensure that the project would be completed. Amy Munizzi, President of the DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. collaborated with Juan Mancilla, owner of Cutting Edge Lawn & Grounds Mainte-nance (also a member of the DSCA, Inc.), and in a matter of minutes, plans for the land-scaping project were well underway with approval from our Principal, Dr. Sharon Lavallee. The following week, Amy, Juan, and Juan’s landscaping crew got to work, while following the CDC guidelines. Their first obstacle was tackling the removal of the tree which turned out to be a much bigger job than expected. Undaunted, the Cutting Edge Team brought in the heavy equipment and out it went. After that it was all manual labor to remove the rest of the vegetation. Amy had taken the Iris home, separated them, repotted them, and then brought back what looked like new plants for replanting, since I use the flowers for science projects. Then mulch was placed in the planters, gravel was delivered and spread, and sod

was donated and installed around the gravel to complete the project. It was so fun to check on their progress and hear the comments from several school personnel on cam-pus, trying to figure out how to continue the school year. Everyone marveled at how each step toward completion made such a big difference aesthetically. I’m glad the Work Day had to be canceled; after seeing the work that was in-volved and realizing the amount of time it would have taken us, I feel so fortunate that the events unfolded the way they did. We would never have gotten this project to completion! While I had been given some funding through Volusia Futures for the work day and had pur-chased some needed supplies, most of the work and materials were donated by the DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. and Cutting Edge. They were insistent on not using my Futures funding on what they could provide. How incredibly gracious! Because they were so giving of their time and resources, I was able to spend the remaining grant money on a sign

for the area, which we decided to name “The Media Garden”. The sign will honor the work completed and funded by Futures, Cutting Edge, and the DSCA, Inc. This project turned out to be a labor of love for our students, school, and community. What began as a simple idea, will be a legacy for the McInnis School family. “A Breath of Fresh Air” has taken on a new meaning…one of community and solidarity. We always knew we had the support of the DeLe-on Springs Community Association, Inc. but now, the DSCA, Inc. is living and growing on our school campus. That is a legacy worth leaving.

Meet HAPPY DAISY FARMS

Happy Daisy Farms creates farm to table jams and jellies that are hand crafted for food lovers. We practice what we like to call our “Small Batch Ethos”, which means there's more than Jelly or Jam in each Jar. We grow, we source, we cultivate, we eat, breath and sleep small batch goodies for foodies. All of our recipes are carefully handcrafted in cast iron over an open flame. It’s a bit old fashioned but we think our customers are worth the extra effort. Running a small farm to table business can seem impracti-cal because we do things differently. For example, Happy Daisy Farms wants to preserve the Southern Huckleberry natural to only three states including Florida. In time this delicious marvel could vanish. So we maintain a natural patch, wild-forage by hand, and cultivate this variety for preservation. It’s impractical. But it makes us happy. Although our farm is not open to the public as we continue to operate under cottage industry practices, you can expe-rience “the happy” for yourself at local markets such as the DeLand Indie Market or the Sanford Indie Market. You can also contact us through our website and online store at happydaisyfarms.com. We also offer discounts to our CaseMate customers who need a full case to share “the happy” as a gift with employees, customers, or family. Our most popular item is Madagascar Vanilla Bean Banana Butter with Toasted Pecans. Yeah, it’s a mouth full to say and so much more to taste. We have several other options all just as quirky. Feel free to call the boss, Cindy Horvath at 954-651-8277 who will be happy to help. And she won’t mind if you accidentally call her Daisy.

Ride Into Reading Awards The DSCA, Inc. had a wonderful ‘problem’ when it was time to award bicycles and helmets in our Seventh Annual Ride Into Reading Third Grade Challenge that we host each year at McInnis Elementary School. This program, created by the DSCA, Inc. in 2013, is a reading incentive challenge based on the existing Scho-lastic Books “Reading Counts” program. Students read age-appropriate books, take a computerized quiz and earn points based on their comprehension of what they read. Two new bicycles, purchased by the DSCA, Inc., were on display in the MES Media Center during the school year, and were to be awarded during the end-of-year ceremony, to the top scoring boy and girl who earned the most points by school year’s end. To keep the competition lively, the DSCA, Inc. provided monthly Walmart gift cards, which were awarded to the most improved readers. For several years now, the program has had 100% par-ticipation from all third graders in the school. And most im-portantly, students are sharpening critical reading and compre-hension skills that they will use in every area of their lives. This year would have marked the 14th new bicycle we awarded, BUT…. When scores were tallied, we had TWO girls who had high-er scores than ever before in the program! Laurel Ashley topped the program for the girls with 706 points and Alejandro Santiago was the highest scoring boy with 302 points. But Abigail Kavanah was outstanding too, with 609 points. When the DSCA, Inc. learned of this achievement, we just HAD to purchase an-other bike and helmet. Since things are a little differ-ent this year, DSCA, Inc. presi-dent Amy Munizzi, MES teach-er Jennifer Campbell, Media Specialist Lisa Bertolami, Asst. Principal Michele McFall-Conte, and Principal Sharon Lavallee piled into their cars, which by the way were all black, and headed out to the homes of these remarkable readers for surprise awards. Parents said it looked like the CIA was descending on them as the cars drove up! All three students were pre-sented with a goodie bag, balloons, DSCA, Inc. Ride Into Reading Certificate, Reading Counts Certificate, and a brand new bicycle and helmet. Congratulations!

DeLeon Springs Trail Construction

Begins At Last

The construction of the “DeLeon Springs Trail” section of the “Spring To Spring Trail” is going strong. This is what Volusia County calls its portion of the “St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop” which runs through several counties. Maggie Ardito, Presi-dent of the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop Alli-ance said, “The names can be confusing but governments keep ref-erencing the historic names because they are in relevant documents that are needed to get new ap-provals. As trail construction completes, the old names will drop off, but it’s best to use the regional name, St. Johns Riv-er-to-Sea Loop, that is part of the Florida Greenways and Trails System Plan and the Florida SUNTrail program.” “SUN” stands for “Shared Use Non-motorized” trails. The Volusia County Council awarded two contracts. The first contract was for building the 12’ wide asphalt trail that starts at Ponce Deleon Blvd. and winds northward through woods to Spring Garden Ave. This will eventually connect to a rounda-bout to be constructed in the widen-ing of U.S. Hwy. 17 and a SUNTrail that will accompany that project. This $925,769 contract was awarded to Halifax Paving, Inc., and funded by a State SUNTrail grant. The second project is the 10’ wide concrete path that runs along Ponce DeLeon Blvd. toward DeLeon Springs State Park and Chuck Lennon Park. This $314,202 contract was awarded to Built-Rite Construction of Central Florida, Inc. and was funded by Volu-sia County’s taxpayer funded ECHO program. The DSCA, Inc. stayed in contact with Travis Terp-stra, Senior Project Man-ager with Volusia County’s Engineering & Construction Divi-sion for years on this and reported regularly to members at our meetings and in the DeLeon Dispatch. Both of these trail sections help us toward our goals of remaining a small com-munity, that is inviting for ecotourists, while providing healthy, family-friendly activities for our citizens.

New Scholarship Winner Chosen The DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. is pleased to announce the winner of the 2020 DeLeon Springs Communi-ty Association, Inc. Merit Schol-arship. Taylor High School Sen-ior and DeLeon Springs resident Jenny Rodriguez, received the $1,000.00 award. Jenny, who had a 4.0 grade point average and ranked 24th in her graduating class, was accepted to five universities, and will major in Nursing and Health Science at University of North Florida. Jenny was in-volved in Beta Club helping elementary school children learn Spanish, was in the National Honor Society and was Secretary of the Student Government. The DSCA, Inc. is pleased to sup-port this fine young woman as she continues into her future. The DeLeon Springs Community Association, Inc. Merit Schol-arship was created in 2014 to grant funds to a deserving high school student currently attending a secondary school in the DeLeon Springs area, in order that they might further their ed-ucation and develop the educational, personal and character skills to contribute in a positive manner to the world around them. The scholarship is offered at a minimum of $600.00 but the last several years the amount has been higher due to the generosity of our members. Additionally, the McInnis family, who has been in DeLeon Springs for over 100 years, helped boost the award amount this year. When Mr. Cliff McInnis recently passed away at the age of 95, his family requested donations to the DSCA, Inc. Merit Scholarship Fund in lieu of flowers. Their kindness will allow us to help fund additional scholarships in 2021.

MES/DSCA, Inc./CCDS “Adopt A Family” takes flight!

What began as a small, school-based initiative became a ‘project with wings’, when MES teachers voiced their concerns over the needs of their students, that went beyond academics. Many of these children come from working-poor families that were struggling to begin with and the virus crisis only compounded prob-lems. So the MES staff organized an ‘Adopt-a-Family’, so any school personnel that wanted to could spon-sor a family in need by bringing food directly to their home. Sonia Larrabee contacted the DSCA, Inc. to see if we wanted to participate. We asked our members if they would like to contribute and suddenly the pro-ject took wings. Donations of food and money began flooding in from members, friends and even the Mom’s Club of DeLand. Pastor Mark Gaeta and his wife Mari, a teacher at MES, offered the Christian Church At DeLeon Springs (CCDS) as the drop off location. The First Baptist Church of DeLeon Springs (FBDS) took up a collection and purchased fresh produce. Then volunteers met to sort the food, which filled the entire church foyer!

On May 4th cars were loaded at CCDS with food and then deliv-ered by MES teachers and staff to grateful families, over-whelmed by the giving of our community during such unusual circumstances in the name of helping our community’s children.

But the DSCA, Inc. wasn’t finished. We kept the initiative going with an additional wave of donations, shopping ‘BO-GO’ sales to stretch the dollars. MES teachers needed to focus on end-of year-activities, so we contacted Lucy and Juan Mancilla, who pastor Linaje Escogido Church (LEC). They knew several families whose children attended MES, so DSCA, Inc. and LEC mem-bers met at CCDS to fill bags with groceries. The stories the Mancilla’s shared of families who were on their last dollars be-cause their fernery jobs had ended was heartbreaking to hear, and we were filled joy to be able to help these families feed their children. The Mancilla’s distributed the food that night and the smiles and gratitude shown by these needy families was beyond priceless. Another food distribution was conducted June 30th and CCDS was again the donation headquar-ters, DSCA, Inc. provided the non-perishables and FBDS provided fresh foods. Volunteers and MES staff was the delivery crew for another successful wave of community caring and sharing. We thank the fantastic staff of MES who stretched themselves to the limit for our community’s children, and the wonderful community of DeLeon Springs for letting our generosity take flight!

Kayak Launcher “Launched” at DSSP

At a recent DSCA, Inc. meeting, member Melissa Borghorst brought up the idea of a kayak launcher for DeLeon Springs State Park, that would allow people to enter kayaks easily, since it can be hard to get in or out of one in steep or hard-surface areas. We’d never heard of it, so Melissa researched it, came back with details, pricing, etc. and contacted DSSP Manager Ken Torres. Then we got the word out, and our members stepped up big time to donate the $2584.00 needed to purchase this wonderful amenity, which DSCA, Inc. presented as a gift to DSSP, for the use of everyone who kayaks to enjoy. DSSP staff successfully installed the launcher and the DSCA,

Inc. organized a “Launch Event” with our friends from West Volusia Tourism to see how it worked. The event was quite fun as we all got to try our hand at launching kayaks from the launcher and returning to the dock. The DSCA, Inc. was excited to hear so many positive comments on how easy the launcher was to use, and how much safer it was than trying to launch from a typical kayak area.

A big thank you is due to Allen Tractor Service, Happy Daisy Farms, Mark and Tammy Schuler, Melissa Borghorst and her sister, and Lee and Amy Munizzi for their generous donations to pay for this launcher that will make it easier for everyone to kayak at DSSP. And special thanks to West Volusia Tourism’s Georgia Turner, Kristine Spence and David Swanberg for coming out to launch it with us! It’s quite a feather in the cap of DeLeon Springs to have one of the few state parks offering this, and to be the organization that did it. It’s amazing what this little non-profit can accomplish when we work together toward a goal!
