YMCA warns of diabetes risk
The Volusia Flagler Family YMCA is encouraging residents to learn their risks for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and to take preventive steps to potentially reduce their chances of developing the disease, according to a press release.
Individuals can assess their risk by taking a test at YMCA.net/diabetes. To learn more about the YMCA’s Healthy Living Programs, including the Diabetes Prevention program, contact Bev Johnson at 738-9622, ext. 313, or [email protected].
Electronic sign approved
The city gave final approval on Nov. 6 for Destination Daytona to have a changeable, electronic sign visible from Interstate 95 at their regular meeting on Nov. 6. A resident of nearby Plantation Bay, Ed Darling, spoke to the commission about concerns of a band shell being constructed at the complex that would generate noise.
“There should be a list of what they cannot do,” he said.
Mayor Ed Kelley said that the complex already has an amphitheater with a lot of outdoor events and there have been no complaints. He said any noise violations would be handled by code enforcement.
