NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Each month one of the 57 artists represented by Arts on Douglas Fine Art and Collectibles, the downtown New Smyrna Beach art gallery, is featured in a solo exhibition. During the month of May, the gallery will feature Jacksonville painter Jim Draper.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- An 84-year-old Edgewater woman refused to give up her money to a hooded teenager who approached her in her car at the K-Mart plaza on State Road 44, earlier today, even though he told her he had a weapon under his sweatshirt, after which he ran off, New Smyrna Beach police said.
Cecilia Battersby was not injured in the 1:51p.m. incident.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- A 67-year-old woman was walking through the parking lot at the Publix in the New Smuyrna Beach Regional Shopping Center just before 2 p.m. Saturday when a woman jumped out of a sport utility vehicle, snatched her purse, jumped back in and drove off, New Smyrna Beach police said.
Mary Burnazos of New Smyrna Beach was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Most people would agree that the mainstream media is very biased. Just ask Walter Johnson 55, owner of Settle Wilder Funeral Home: ”You can quote me on saying that the main stream media is very biased to the left.”
On the flip side of the coin, because the main streammedia is so biased, it has created a very strong demand for information sources that are biased in the other direction. No one is going to deny that many of the radio talk show hosts are biased in the conservative direction.
ORMOND BEACH -- The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office is issuing a scam alert to the public after a 74-year-old Ormond Beach woman nearly got conned earlier this week out of close to $7,000, the Volusia Sheriff's Office said.
At least four similar fraud attempts have been reported this week in East Volusia, and officials want to get the word out about the scam to prevent residents from becoming victims. No money was taken in the four incidents from this week.
You probably wouldn't remember the name, but you might remember the colorful parade floats of yesteryear made by Stanley Quaggin, who died April 28, at the age of 88.
Quaggin made headlines of a different kind nearly a decade ago when he twice went on trial for manslaughter -- convicted the first time and acquitted the second time in the 1997 shooting death of a teen boy.
All these years later, the Quaggin case troubles me, having covered both his trials. It's not the verdicts, but how the evidence was presented that resulted in those verdicts.
