6 The Orlando Sentinel, Wednesday, January 10, 1990 TV cameras tturn national focus on Volusia By Craig Quintana and Gnnie Johnson OF THE SENTINEL STAFF the program aired. A month earlier, the disappearance of Denise Dansby, a 24-year-old Texan who disappeared in May from a Daytona Beach Shores hotel and whose body was identified in December, was aired on an episode of MissingReward. Most agree that brief moments in the national spotlight have little lasting effect on the area's image. "Volusia County has always been notorious," said 7 1 0W County Council member Big John. "We've long been a hotbed of controversy, and we still are.

I think that's what makes Volusia County an interesting place to live." Ron Rees, president of the Daytona BeachHalifax Area Chamber of Commerce, said the national attention is slightly annoying because Volusia's crime did," she said. "A lot of things have happened, and it's been good and bad." Cycler had mixed feelings about Vogel's latest brush with fame. While highlighting his anti-drug efforts puts the county in a positive light, it also dramatizes the drug problem in Volusia and the state. However, "Vogel is news," she said. "It shows that we're definitely doing something." At the sheriffs office on Friday, 20120 reporter Tom Jarriel's visit was met with bemused nonchalance.

The sheriff made no attempt to publicize the interview within his department, and the television crew's two-day stay drew little attention from his staff. Sheriffs receptionist Dawn McCray said the reorganization of the office seemed to occupy more conversation among the staff Friday afternoon than the television crew's visit. "Nobody took much notice with the moving and all," she said. Sgt. Dale Anderson, who heads the sheriffs drug and drug-money interdiction program on Interstate 95, said the 2020 segment would neither help nor hinder the department's efforts.

"Here we go again with the publicity on a national publication, but the dopers are not going to stop," Anderson said. "If they do see it the broadcast, they might try to better hide it, but it's not going to help." Like most of the others, McCray didn't get caught up in all the fuss. "I can't believe what people get all excited over," she said of Jarriel and company. "Now, if it was a famous movie star DELAND Volusia County is the home of the world's most famous beach; the Daytona 500 auto race; and spring break, the annual invasion of hordes of frolicking college students. But in recent months, the area's lurid crimes and a media-conscious sheriff have been featured on several nightly television shows giving the county a different kind of fame.

Last week, the video cameras focused again on Volusia when 20120 came to interview Sheriff Bob Vogel about his war on drugs. Vogel, whose 1987 appearance on 60 Minutes helped catapult him into office, said he was unsure how his latest brush with the national press would turn out. "I think that the tone is positive," said Vogel, who added he is nervous and excited about the appearance. "You never know how these things will turn out." A Current Affair and Inside Edition featured stories in December on the titillating Daytona Beach murder-for-hire case in which Konstantinos Fotopou-lous is charged with paying two hit men to make six unsuccessful attempts to kill his wife, Lisa. Several months before, NBC's Unsolved Mysteries featured a Pierson nudist camp where an 11-year-old girl allegedly was molested.

After months on the run, William Eugene Hilliard, who is charged in the crime, was apprehended in September a day after ii I jjiulmciu la livj wuiac uicui uiat ui other areas. "We're happy when Daytona Beach gets national publicity, but we're disappointed when it's negative," Rees said. "We're happy there's a sheriff in Volusia County named Bob Vogel who's doing something about our drug problem to such a successful degree that it's getting national attention." Publicity, even negative, doesn't mean that much, said County Council Chairman Alice Cycler. "You've got all these TV shows with nothing to do, and they have to come up with their stories and they Longtime Deltona motel due for 'entirely new look' DELTONA A business that has stood at the entrance to Deltona since the community's beginnings in 1964 is undergoing a $500,000 renovation. The 135-unit Best Western Deltona Inn on Deltona Boulevard will take on an "entirely new look" this spring after construction workers give the structure's exterior an updated look for the 1990s.

Harry Granoff, general manager of the family-owned motor inn, said the ter Park designed the new plans. The construction is. being handled by Sted-fast Construction Managers of De-Land. Completion is set for May 15. The motor inn began with 56 units and, after a major renovation in 1974 that included the addition of a new wing, the room number jumped to 135.

Improvements also were made to the lounge and restaurant as recently as 1987. The Granoff family has owned the inn since 1979. said Granoff father, Robert, who serves as chairman of the company. The new look for the main building will include a portico supported by Grecian columns. The only thing that will be left of the original building's front will be the walkway; everything else will be new, said the senior Granoff.

"We're just taking a motel whose look originated in the '60s and giving it a 1990s look." Randy Reyna and Associates of Win renovation should "complement the community" and give a "great first impression to visitors and future residents." The modernization will include adding a splash of beige and pastel green, plus new landscaping, and completely changing the look of the building's front. "All the room fronts will be completely redone; the architecture will be a totally new look for a motor inn," 200-Financial 308 PETS FOR SALE BEAGLE PUPPIES 9wks old. S75.
