News-Journal gives no respect to SE Volusia
Posted Wed, 2008-06-25 14:37
It was not a big surprise that the News Journal closed their offices in New Smyrna Beach, Deland and Palm Coast. Here in New Smyrna, they really didn't appear to have their heart in covering us in New Smyrna to begin with. It probably wasn't much different at their other locations.
One thing I find amusing is that they plan to raise the price of the Newspaper. Does that mean that their coverage of New Smyrna, Deland and Palm Coast was so bad that the paper is worth more without it?

Here is something to think about:Did you read about the United States Supreme Court ruling on no crosses? On any federal property. Can you imagine? The Supreme Court not wanting a Christian cross on any federal land.
Question? Where are all of our soldiers who gave the supreme sacrifice and are buried in not only Arlington National Cemetery but the cemeteries across the world on federal property?
Does this mean we will have to remove these thousands upon thousands of their crosses?
When are we going to learn?

Mighty Metro not so mighty
Posted Mon, 2008-06-23 21:31
The Daytona Beach News-Journal fired 99 employees and closed its New Smyrna Beach, Palm Coast and DeLand bureaus today. The Daily Journal, the zoned local section has also been eliminated. And get this: The ownership is going to raise the rates for home delivery and the Sunday paper is going up by 25 cents to $1.50 starting this Sunday. You are going to get even less news now and pay more for it. But there's a way you can tell the News-Journal owners this new arrangement is unacceptable: Don't buy their newspaper. Cancel your subscription.

DBC uses management skills and hard work to skate through budget shortfalls
Posted Fri, 2008-06-20 13:04
Watching the Volusia County School Board and the Volusia County, NSB, Edgewater and Oak Hill governments grapple with revenue shortfalls makes Volusians ask the question: What could they have done better? The management, faculty and staff at Daytona Beach College, which includes a campus right here in New Smyrna Beach, provide some insight into what can be done.
It all started several years ago when D. Kent Sharples took over as president. He was cost conscious right from the start.
I know firsthand because I am on the DBC Board of Trustees.

Father's Day -- guiding along the path of life
Posted Sun, 2008-06-15 05:45
Today is my holiday -- Father's Day. I am a father and have a father. I am blessed. I have so many memories of my father, who I look up to as my ultimate hero. He was a big influence in my development from an early age. And now, I'm using the benchmark he provided to raise my own son, Henry IV, who is 14. My father taught me courage and toughness. The same things I am now trying to pass on to my son.
