APRIL 20-21, 2012
IN BEAUTIFUL PORT ORANGE, FLORIDA
8 MINUTES FROM THE BEACH!

 

March 29 to April 1
Spring Fair to bring new look to Port Orange
 
The sidewalks and park area around Port Orange’s City Center Lake will bloom with arts and crafts and old fashioned fun March 29 to April 1 as the volunteers, who attract more than 100,000 fun-seekers a year with free entertainment and movies and family oriented expos, take on a new theme for their annual Spring event.
 
“We’ve run Kidz Dayz the last few years in the Spring, and while it has been well-attended, the focus and the appeal has always been for families.  Our Board decided this year to recognize that focus and recreate the feel and fun of a fair,” said Debbie Connors, Chair of the event and Executive Director of the Port Orange/South Daytona Chamber of Commerce.  “Even those who have never attended a true Spring Fair know from stories and movies the idea was that after the hard winters, community residents got together in the Spring to show off their handiwork and take part in events that let them work off energy stored when winter activities slowed.  Our Volusia winters aren’t that bad, but the idea still has a lot of appeal,” she said.
 
Family Days Spring Fair aims to debut with one of the largest food and craft expositions held in the region.  The Craft Fair will be Saturday and Sunday March 31 and April 1 and will replace the business expo feature of Kidz Dayz, although year-round Family Days sponsors will be represented along with food and craft booths. Other activities will include a car show, a pie bake-off and cake walk. Most of the handicrafts and art works will be for sale and many demonstrations are scheduled for those interested in learning new skills.  Extensive free entertainment will include excerpts from a well-known musical presented on the amphitheater stage; an old fashioned barn dance, an Amazing Pet Tricks contest and an evening of free movies.
 
A high point of the Spring Fair will be a large, family friendly carnival with rides and games appealing to all ages.  Details of the entertainment and other events will be announced as the dates approach and will be posted on the Family Days web site at www.familydays.com.
 
Food and craft vendors interested in participating in the Spring Fair are urged to get information from the web site or apply by calling the Family Days office at 386-506-5935.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date: 01-19-12

The City of South Daytona

http://www.southdaytona.org/

from       Jeanne Willard, Public Information Officer

    Jwillard2009@live.com

 FPL Supported Petition Deemed Not In Compliance With Laws

 SOUTH DAYTONA –   A petition circulated by the FPL-backed political committee “Take Back Our Power” (TBOP) is not substantially in compliance with the Division of Elections standard petition form, and the City has been advised by legal counsel to return the signed, unapproved forms to the Political Action Committee. (See attached.)

In an effort to conduct its city elections in accordance with state law, the City retained legal counsel which determined that the format “departs from the state-adopted form in a material way” by not including statements informing voters that all information on the form, including signatures, becomes public record, that it is a crime to knowingly sign more than one petition and that the form will not be valid if all requested information is not completed. In addition, counsel contacted the Division of Elections, who advised that the Division would not approve any petition form that did not include this information. City Attorney Scott Simpson concurred with the opinion and recommendation.

The FPL-funded petition drive effort follows a protracted legal battle between the City and the utility over the City’s right to exercise the purchase option contained in its franchise agreement to buy the electrical distribution system, despite the fact that the City already voted to purchase the utility in July. Following the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s ruling that FPL was not entitled to stranded cost, the City received a letter from FPL stating that it was forming a PAC to amend the City Charter in an attempt to stop the City from buying the system. Financial documents filed by the PAC show that FPL has contributed $20,000, while residents have contributed less than $300 to date.

TBOP was previously given notice regarding the petition format.  On Dec. 9, TBOP submitted the charter amendment petition to the City. The City Clerk denied TBOP’s petition format, directing TBOP to resubmit the petition in accordance with the State’s pre-approved petition form. TBOP responded that it believed that it was in compliance and proceeded to collect signatures on the unapproved petition form. Those signed petitions were submitted to the City in January.

Time is right for development

Since I am a resident of Port Orange, I have read with interest of the trials and tribulations regarding the riverfront property that my town is trying to develop.

January 21, 2012

 

...I have been treated for chronic pain due to degenerative disc disease and multiple surgeries since October 2010.

Since the new laws intended to close the illegal pain clinics went into effect, I have not been able to get an internist or general practitioners to write scripts for medications I've been taking. They are not willing to register with the state and have a bureaucrat tracking the prescriptions they write.

I have never abused the drugs written for me and yet I am suffering because I have run out of pain patches and pills. I have contacted three pain management doctors on my new plan, and the earliest appointment I could get was the end of this month. In the meantime, I have to deal with my situation on my own....

Our Towns, Jan. 19: Southeast

For immediate release

from vcso: Brandon Haught, Public Information Office

 

LEAVING KEYS IN CAR IS OPEN INVITATION TO THIEVES

 

Don’t make life easy for car thieves by leaving your car keys in the ignition. It might seem harmless to leave a car running in a store’s parking lot while you dash inside “just for a minute.” But that minute is all opportunistic thieves need to take off with your vehicle. Making the scenario potentially worse is when children are left unattended in a vehicle. Not only is this dangerous, it’s also a crime.

 

A 60-year-old man suffered the consequences of leaving his keys in his car when he went into a convenience store near Daytona Beach Jan. 15. He watched as a man jumped into the unlocked vehicle, used the keys left in the ignition to start it up, and then speed away. His car was later recovered, but the theft could have been easily prevented by simply taking his keys with him. There are other similar incidents where vehicles were stolen because spare keys left inside were easily found or the owner was distracted and forgot to take the keys with him or her.

 

Deputies want to prevent crime, not write a bunch of tickets. However, leaving keys in the ignition of an unattended vehicle is a nonmoving traffic violation subject to a $116 fine. Even more significantly, it’s a crime to leave a child younger than six years old unattended in a vehicle. The person responsible for doing so could face a second-degree misdemeanor if the child is left for more than 15 minutes. If the vehicle is running or the child is in danger, the responsible person could also face a noncriminal traffic fine of up to $500. Deputies will be vigilant for all of these infractions, especially in convenience store and grocery store parking lots where motorists most often leave keys in their cars or leave the engine running.

Construction business and Hospital ties to two Port Orange City Councilmen.

Hank,

 
As I continue to follow the posts on your website I have noticed something that is a little bit concerning. We seem to have a mayor who is extremely supportive when it comes to using taxpayer dollars to buy real estate and employ contractors to develop land, even ignoring the lowest bid at times to hire someone "local".  The suspicious part of that is the mayor is in the construction business himself and I imagine the word "local" is code for "friend"!
 
The latest, unless Im reading wrong, is what appears to be ordinance language that gives a business advantage to Halifax Hospital over "local" doctors. The suspicious part.... A councilman who works for Halifax Hospital! If I read the information wrong please feel free to correct me.

10:00 PM-12:00 AM -- The Universe - Nemesis: The Sun's Evil Twin
Could there be a monstrous, undiscovered star orbiting our own Sun? Could it be scattering killer comets throughout our Solar System like clockwork every 26 million years? New scientific surveys are probing the edges of our Solar System--a realm populated by giant worlds and mysterious planetoid--hunting for Nemesis, the Sun's purported evil twin. We may be on the verge of discovering this ultimate death star, suspected of causing every mass extinction in Earth's history. We employ everyday experiences to explain what Nemesis is and why it's been so hard to find. Experts start a wildfire on a dry California hillside, race a NASCAR around an oval track, and juggle fire, all in the effort to present how Nemesis works, and why life on Earth may depend on its discovery.
