Daytona Lagoon Rewards Volusia Students' Reading Achievements with Free Park Tickets

Daytona Lagoon and Volusia County Schools have teamed up for the first time to reward students who excelled in the district's Spring Reading Challenge. Students who read for over 600 minutes in March received free passes to Daytona Lagoon Waterpark, with additional rewards for those who surpassed 400 minutes. The initiative, designed to promote reading and reward educational efforts, has benefitted over 3,000 community members by providing free access to local recreation while encouraging academic achievements.

SpaceX and NASA Set for Historic Back-to-Back Launches at Cape Canaveral

SpaceX is preparing for a Monday launch of its Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, which may coincide with NASA's launch of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft later in the day. The SpaceX mission, using a Falcon 9 rocket, is slated for a window from 11:34 a.m. to 4:05 p.m. EDT. Following this, NASA aims for a 10:34 p.m. launch of Starliner, marking a significant milestone in the Commercial Crew Program with favorable weather conditions forecasted. The slated track for the 10:34pm launch is to the Southeast, so viewing from the Ormond area will be limited. This series of launches could represent a landmark day for space travel, featuring both private and governmental space missions.

Backyard Chickens at Risk from Unprecedented Avian Flu Outbreak

The increasing trend of backyard chicken farming across the U.S. faces a significant threat from the largest outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in history, affecting an estimated 10.6 million households. The disease is spread by migratory birds that can contaminate environments through their droppings. Experts emphasize the necessity of strict biosecurity measures, including better coop designs and rigorous sanitation practices. Additionally, careful integration of new birds from certified sources and minimizing contact between different species are key strategies to protect domestic flocks. Resources and guidelines provided by the USDA’s Defend the Flock Program offer crucial support to poultry owners.

Enchiladas Verdes

From the author:
“Delicious enchiladas verdes with homemade spicy tomatillo sauce. I got this recipe from an amazing cook from Puebla and it is the best I've ever tried! I've been perfecting it for over 15 years and realized it was time to share it when my foodie friends tried to drink the sauce out of the saucepan. Be conservative with the Mexican crema and cotija cheese.”
