DAYTONA BEACH -- Andy Gygi, who gives his time to the investigative unit at the district office headquartered in New Smyrna Beach, is among several people honored as volunteers or employees of the quarter honored by Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson.
It appears that everyone running for city office was under two mandates. The first, to get the city budget into balance without raising taxes and the second, to make the city more business friendly.
The one thing the city shouldn’t do is sit back and wait for economic improvement or “money from heaven” to bail them out. Mayor-Elect Adam Barringer understands this, which is why he pledged as part of his campaign to devise an economic development plan within the first 100 days of office, if elected.
DAYTONA BEACH -- A 16-year-old girl was stabbed to death last night at the Daytona

midnight. Desiree Jures, 22, was being treated at Halifax Medical center for at
least two stab wounds and Jordan Hess, 18, was admitted as well, stabbed in the
back.
