NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- A man walked into the TD Bank branch at 1811 State Road 44 at 12: 24 p.m. Sunday sporting a Nike shirt with the slogan "Just Do It" as he passed a teller a note demanding money. The teller complied and he ran off.
The Volusia County Sheriff's Office assisted New Smyrna Beach cops with deputies and the Air One helicopter, but the robber was not located.
No word from police whether he was wearing Nike sneakers or if he wrote in the note "Just do it." And speaking of bizarre, what bank opens its lobby to customers on a Sunday anyway? Apparently TD Bank, which was robbed earlier this year. That suspect was later caught because police knew who he was from the surveillance camera.

I just watched President Obama kick off his re-election campaign with the entire Congress as a backdrop. You have to give it to Obama, he is quite the showman. He may be short on substance and results but he certainly gives good theater.

By STATE REP. DOROROTHY L. HUKILL PORT ORANGE -- Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks against the United States. We all can remember where we were or what we were doing when the news came in from New York on that fateful fall morning.
Soon after, we would learn of a larger plot against our nation, one that would also claim American lives in Pennsylvania and in Virginia, near our nation's capital.
It was a day of great national mourning for all the innocent lives that were lost. But it was also a day in which we recognized the great heroism and valor of true American heroes.
