NSBNEWS.net photos by Sera Frederick. The New Smyrna Beach High School 'Cudas defeated Spruce Creek 43-0 before a big crowd at Homecoming earlier tonight. At left, the defense was all over the Creek squad, stifling both the running and passing plays. At center, quaterback A.J. Granger led a balanced offensive attack. At right, 'Cudas alumnus and Mayor Adam Barringer got a close-up view of the games on the sidelines.
We have a new Guard. The Nov. 3 municipal elections brought more voters. Yet out of 18,000-plus voters, we had roughly 6,000 show up.
It starts in your own backyard people.
NSB wanted change, leadership, and success for our city. We will see what happens.
We, in America, can only change our "future" by voting. This is a "sorry turnout."
Maybe, and I mean maybe, when it gets so bad, people will realize that change will come with the power they have, their "VOTE." This goes with federal, state, county, and municipal elections.
So where are we?
Did Congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas take $132,000 and other donations from PhRMA?
Did this convince her to vote no to Health Care Reform?
Since the Newe Smyrna Beach Democrat voted against the Health Care Bill in the house I am convinced that PhRMA was an influence on her vote. I have emailed her Washington DC office four times asking for an explanation of why she took an estimated $132,000 from PhRMA used in a direct mail piece. I have received no response.
Our forefathers’ original mistake in printing American currency was to blur the “L” out of it, and so it is that we continue to insist we’re a Christian nation because our coinage hymns out, “In God We Trust.”
Biblically speaking, this was one of those “fortunate falls.” Where else more appropriate for “God” than His endorsement printed on the object Americans worship the most?
“Gold” just doesn’t ring with it!
From my vantage point on the perch, it seems that I was one of the few fortunate ones' to be able to hear any part of what was going on at Tuesday night's city commission meeting, as our I.T. department blew it out there tail feathers yet again.
Can anyone in that department explain why that in 2009, our I.T. birds are still unable to provide a reliable audio feed allowing the citizens to listen in to the meetings being held by their elected and appointed officials?
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- A Chinese food service carrier attempting to make a delivery to a local business was robbed at gunpoint last night by two armed men when he tried to get out of his vehicle in the 400 block of Palm Street on the Westside, New Smyrna Beach police said.
