The NSB Caps awards for 2010 at New Smyrna Beach High School demonstrated what can be achieved if you work hard and long and are enthusiastic and passionate about what you do. All six of this years award winners showed copious amounts of these qualities.

Jack Mitchell, class of 1944, is no doubt the best known of the six honorees. His photographs have appeared on virtually every national and international publication that deals with the arts.

Between the cold, the wind and the rain, it has been a tough few weeks, I'm sure for a lot of people with respiratory problems.
