DELAND -- A 46-year-old West Volusia man has been found guilty of manslaughter while driving under the influence resulting in the death of a motorcyclist.
Chris Kelly of the Volusia State Attorney’s office said the case against Tony Rogers dates back to September of 2007. It took a jury less than three hours Thursday to find Rogers guilty in the death of Raymond Flores.

DELTONA -- A wide-ranging crime suppression operation at the start of the weekend sent a clear message to the residents in the Deltona, Enterprise and Osteen areas: The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is serious about reducing opportunities for crime.
VCSO spokesman Brandon Haught says the multiple operation objectives produced a dozen arrests, the recovery of stolen vehicle parts and nearly 150 traffic citations.
Her frame undented, botoxed lip to chassis
Turned-back mileage, breastworks lifted, sassy
Denture grilled, tuned up in ear
Adjustments to her sagging rear
STP’ed, replacement kneed
In smooth, unwrinkled glory
Undimmed by years, she perseveres; goes on with her life story.

Monday Night Raw was nothing to write home about, which is why this report is short and sweet: The real excitement was the wrestling of Randy Orton.
The Viper was on his game in the main event match, a double tag team, with R. Truth, Evan Bourne, and Jon Morrison teaming up with Orton with the bad guys consisting of Ted Dibiase Jr., Chris Jericho, the Miz and Edge.

It looks as if city planning, bureaucracy, and incompetence have all combined into a critical mass to bring progress in New Smyrna Beach to a shuddering halt. It was brought to light by the reporting of NSBNEWS.net journalist Henry Frederick that the city has apparently failed to meet state requirements in complying with its own planning- and land-management rules in permitting the new Flagler Avenue hotel and a Super Wal-Mart store near Interstate 95.

Mayor Adam Barringer, shown in this photo in the weeks leading up to his successful election in November with economic development as his cornerstone, faces a major crisis with at least two multi-million dollar projects now in jeopardy because of a breakdown in planning management and oversight.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Just hours before Mayor Adam Barringer met with his newly formed economic advisory board Tuesday night, he was facing the biggest crisis of his seven months in office, and perhaps in modern times for this seaside community: Screw-ups in planning oversight at City Hall that have put the proposed Hampton Inn on Flagler Avenue and the Super Walmart near I-95 in peril.
"It's as bad as it can get," Barringer said tersely in a brief interview. "We stand the potential to lose the hotel. We've identified some administrative issues back through this entire process and I'm working with the city manager to resolve them."
