ULA's Delta IV Heavy Prepares for Historic Last Launch
The United Launch Alliance's Delta IV Heavy rocket is slated for its final launch this week at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, concluding its significant contribution to national security and space exploration. The Delta IV Heavy, known for its triple-booster launches and dramatic liftoffs, will be succeeded by ULA's more advanced Vulcan rocket. The Vulcan, designed with new engines and for reusability, represents the next generation of space exploration vehicles, building on the legacy and technological advancements of its predecessor. The final launch of the Delta IV Heavy, marking both an end and a beginning for ULA, is scheduled for 1:40 p.m. on Thursday at Launch Complex 37.
Ormond Beach Hotel Developers Rethink Sidewalk Plan After County Refuses To Maintain It
Developers of a new hotel in Ormond Beach are reconsidering their plan to build a public sidewalk to the beach after Volusia County declined responsibility for its maintenance and liability. The sidewalk, initially part of the development plan for the 137-room hotel approved in January 2023, faced setbacks when the county expressed its unwillingness to maintain it. This led to discussions among city officials and the planning board, who unanimously recommended its removal from the project plans.
Concerns centered on the financial and logistical implications of city or developer maintenance, with broader issues of jurisdiction and public resource allocation at play. The city commission is set to review this amendment in their April meeting, as the community watches closely.
Statewide Grand Jury in Florida Requests More Time for Vaccine Investigation
A Florida statewide grand jury, tasked with investigating COVID-19 vaccine-related issues, has requested a six-month extension from the state Supreme Court. Originally convened in Hillsborough County following Governor Ron DeSantis's directive, the grand jury cited the need for more time to complete its investigation, which has extended beyond state lines. Despite producing an interim report, the grand jury, through the Statewide Prosecutor's office, acknowledged the extensive work remaining and the complexity of the issues being examined. The request seeks to extend the grand jury's term until December 26, emphasizing the thorough and diligent nature of the ongoing investigation.

Steer-In-Burger Offers Fresh Meat and Hand Cut Fries
Along S. Nova Rd., David Martin, a seasoned entrepreneur with a rich history of businesses and adventures, including piloting his own plane around the globe, decided to settle down and open Steer In Burger. At 73, David embarked on transforming a space with bright orange and red walls and a black ceiling into the welcoming burger shop it is today. After months of DIY renovation from a Mexican restaurant, Steer In Burger opened its doors in April, 2023, offering a menu centered around freshness and quality, a realization David had after struggling to find good, fresh food in the area.
Delicious Burgers
Steer In Burger stands out not just for its freshly ground meat burgers and hand-cut fries, but also for its Philly cheesesteaks, vegetarian options, desserts, and a variety of drinks including beer, milkshakes, and root beer floats. David's commitment to the community shines through with "Family Day" every Tuesday offering $5 hamburgers $6 cheeseburgers and $2 hot dogs. Spend $50 you get a free churro . It’s dine in only and they do it to give families an opportunity to go out to eat.
Hand Cut Fries
So, nearly a year after opening, Steer In Burger has become a testament to Dave Martin’s lifelong journey and dedication. It's more than a burger joint; it's a reflection of his dreams and adventures, serving as a warm, inviting spot for the Ormond Beach community.
Steer-In-Burger is located at 663 S Nova Rd., Ormond Beach. You can reach them at 386-285-1544 or by email at [email protected]
