DAYTONA BEACH -- a jury deliberated for three-and-a-half hours today before finding Dangelo Belle guilty of the lesser included offense of second degree murder in the March 12, 2009, stabbing death of Chad Hankerson.
DELAND -- Determined seems to be the key word to describe the men and women of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office who earned the honor of being named Employees of the 1st Quarter of 2010 Tuesday morning. Every one of them demonstrated a passion for their jobs, including a deputy who makes sure the Sheriff’s Office’s communications center is always running efficiently, and an investigator who never forgets to take care of crime’s victims. Also getting awards from Sheriff Ben Johnson at the Deputy Stephen Saboda Training Center in Daytona Beach were an inventory control specialist, a telecommunicator, and a volunteer.

It seems that our City is a magnet for lawsuits.
We have the Judge (Nahum) Litt's lawsuit for "freedom of information act", the Alexander "building suit", the Volusia County "Homebuilders suit" and the suit of the contractor on the 3rd Ave. new fire station.
Are there any more out there? Let me know if I missed any, O.K.?
Now the big problem: We have a City Attorney in Frank Gummey who makes what a federal judge makes and has a $500,000 buyout.
DELAND -- The May 21 workshop scheduled for the Volusia County Council and St. Johns River Water Management District has been canceled.
