COMPLICATED CHAOS –
Aug. 12, 2026 – One of the alleged demons is 57-year-old Melinda Clarkson Isley, a married grandmother and small business owner who lives near Anastasi’s 30-person faith-based New Life Dream Center Anastasi sees Isley as an “enemy” out to shut down an institution he says has helped countless people overcome drug addiction.. Isley said she only wants to know how an unlicensed rehab center ended up in her rural single-family zoned neighborhood — and why so many local politicians have thrown their support behind it, including Congressman Byron Donalds, who recently toured NLDC and is currently the frontrunner to become Florida’s next governor.
