Peter Mallory Tribute
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I didn’t know Peter Mallory well, but I did know of the relationship between him and Henry Frederick. The two of them gave this community a voice with NSBNEWS.net and for that that we are all thankful.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Every American has seen the film classic "Animal House" depicting life in a college fraternity.
The fraternity brothers were depicted as being totally without any redeeming qualities. They were totally lazy, irresponsible, undisciplined, destructive and any academic achievement was accidental and discouraged by the fraternity.
Nobody took the movie too seriously. However there has always been the lingering fear that there is a little bit of animal house in all fraternities. Over the years a few mishaps occurred which gave fraternities a bad name at MIT.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I felt very sad producing a tribute video in honor of Peter Mallory, who died Friday.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- I met Peter Mallory and his wife Jackie in 2003, when my husband and I moved to the same street in New Smyrna Beach, but I didn’t know them until I joined the Republican Club of Southeast Volusia County.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Peter Mallory, co-founder of NSBNews.net and a longtime New Smyrna Beach resident, died Thursday at an Orlando hospital. Known for his conservative political views, his award-winning weekly blog was aptly called "The Right Side."
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- For the first time in the history of Florida journalism, an exclusively online newspaper has received an award: The Florida Press Club has named Peter Mallory, co-publisher of NSBNews.net as an award-winning blogger for 2011.
The 6 percent wage hikes the union representing 80 employees of Edgewater government sought were not granted. It is outrageous they asked in the first place in these hard economic times when taxpayers are losing their homes. When things get tough and people in the business community start getting laid off in large numbers. You see headlines such as Boeing to lay off 15 percent of its work force or General electric to lay off thousands. What I would like to know is why we don’t read about thousands of government employees laid off at the federal, state and local level.
