The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.

Daytona Beach proposes major developments to replace NASCAR overflow parking

A large, open clearing in Daytona Beach, used for overflow parking during speedway events, may become the new site for major residential or commercial construction. ▶ LISTEN TO ORLANDO’S MORNING NEWS EXPRESS PODCAST ON WDBO The roughly 200-acre lot is located between Clyde Morris Boulevard and Jimmy Ann Drive in Daytona Beach; it is in the process of being rezoned by two subsidiary companies of NASCAR, Event Equipment Leasing and Southeastern Hay & Nursery, who own the property. The city planning board and commission must approve the rezoning request for development to begin. The two subsidiaries of NASCAR are being represented by Cobb Cole law firm throughout the process. NASCAR Lot 7 Planned District has served as an overflow parking lot for speedway events for several decades, but current zoning only allows for the construction of commercial or industrial buildings. However, if a new zoning designation is permitted, developers could use the property to build apartments or houses. It could also allow for the construction of large-scale developments, like Tanger Outlets or One Daytona. However, no developer or specific project has been named. Tanger Outlets, an outdoor outlet mall, opened in late 2016 near I-95 and LPGA Boulevard in Daytona

Dr. Josie, Daytona's first female mayor

Dr. Mary Josie Rogers was born 150 years ago on Nov. 26, 1876. She was fond of saying that she was the same age as Daytona , born the same year. She lived to be 98. Rogers, often just called Dr. Josie, was also Daytona’s first female mayor, chosen in 1922, only two years after the 19 th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, was ratified. (She wasn’t Florida’s first female mayor, though — that distinction goes of Marian Newhall Horwitz O’Brien of Moore Haven — but she was likely the third.) In those days, the city commissioners chose a mayor from among their number. Dr. Rogers was on the commission when the mayor resigned. After the male commissioners deadlocked on which one of them would be mayor, they picked her as a compromise. Dr. Josie was 'progressive, able and conscientious citizen' The town’s new mayor made national news causing The Daytona Daily Journal to editorialize: "Dr. Rogers was not elected mayor because she was a woman but because she was a progressive, able and conscientious citizen.” A graduate of Hahnemann Medical College, a homeopathic medical school in Chicago, she set up her practice in Daytona in 1907.
