Port Orange Family Days
Great family entertainment at the Port Orange City Center this weekend. Last night my wife, daughter, granddaughter and I enjoyed a nice walk around the festivities, a ride on the dragon roller coaster, looking at the car show and mostly the food trucks. We really enjoyed the Kona Dogs, we first eat one of these last year while in Honolulu. It was recommended by Guy Fieri, from Diners, Drive- ins and Dives. The Hawaiian style hot dogs are very unique with the coconut, pineapple and mango toppings and Hawaiian sweet buns. We wouldn't dream of missing a chance of getting one when their food truck comes to town.

There is a new builder in Venetian Bay, Stanley Homes from Melbourne Florida. They are building luxury villas (town homes) in Savannah Pointe. Keeping with the Mediterranean style and the single and two story concept, these new villas will fit right in with the existing town homes in Savannah Pointe. There are four different models, each with 2 car garages;

Venetian Bay Golf Course Under New Ownership
The golf course at Venetian Bay was sold to a Canadian firm for $5.5 million. The new owner, Geosam Capital Ltd. hired the Palm Beach Gardens based Kitson & Partners to take over the management of the Venetian Bay Golf and Beach Club. The new general manager is Kyle Mooney, who managed the Kitson owned Highlands Reserve Golf Club near Orlando. It is too early to tell what changes will be made to the golf course and club, however the future is brighter than it was under the management of the Johnson Group.
Currently it is a private club with five different memberships which range in price from $850 to $4000 for a family annual membership, and a $500 to $5000 initiation fee.
Geosam Capital Ltd already owned the lots abandoned by Tiffany, in the Savannah Pointe section of Venetian Bay prior to closing on the Golf course deal. Along with the golf course/country club, Geosam acquired 25 acres of vacant commercial property at the Venetian Bay Town Center, this does not include the Tuscany Square Condo. Also included in the deal were 91 home lots and a development lot that can accommodate 118 townhomes.
Venetian Bay, which first started selling homes in 2004 was red hot until the housing bubble bust. Development came to a screeching stop in 2007 until late 2010 when D. R. Horton took over the lots owned by K B Homes. Now with Geosam Capital Ltd in the game, I look forward to seeing the dream that so many of us had for Venetian Bay to become a reality.

I Could Not Be More Proud
Today marks the 11th year since the brutal attack on American soil by a group of terrorist. I am sure each of us remembers where we were and what we were doing when those attacks happened. I was at work as an Air Traffic Controller sitting at a RADAR scope. It was just another typical day at work and I had just told a Delta departure he was RADAR contact and turned him towards the Atlanta airport, when the supervisor stood up and announced to the room that all departures were stopped and every aircraft in the air had to land at the closest airport. All the controllers in the room asked "why are we doing this, what is going on?" the supervisor said he did not know what was going on but we had to get every aircraft on the ground as fast as we could. I had been an air traffic controller for over 25 years and never had I seen anything like this happen before. Over the next hour and a half, the air traffic controllers of our nation safely guided over 4000 aircraft with hundreds of thousands of people on board to nearby airports. This had never been done before, there was no plan in place, what my brother and sister air traffic controllers did was truly amazing, and heroic.

Shortly after that day, my son joined the United States Army. He began his service in November 2001, and has served a tour in Iraq, two tours to Afghanistan, and is scheduled to return to Afghanistan in January 2014. I could not be more proud of my son for stepping up in the defense of freedom. I thank God for his courage and bravery, as well as that of all the other young men and women who have placed their lives on the line to served our country and the the world in the fight against terrorism. I for one am very grateful that they value their own freedom enough to ensure that others throughout the world can also be free. God bless America and all those who have proudly served Her.
