"Today is one of the great first moments of the rebuilding of our state and most importantly the rebuilding of the shore."

IN THE CROWD MANY SANDY VICTIMS, INCLUDING PATTI VENGAL WHO TOOK OFF FROM WORK TO WITNESS IT.

"Because the boardwalk is Belmar. We have no amusements, we have nothing. We have family. We have the boardwalk."

"So it was important for you to be here?"

"Uh huh."

HURRICANE SANDY DESTROYED THE ENTIRE ONE POINT THREE MILE STRETCH OF BELMAR'S BOARDWALK.

BELMAR BORROWED MONEY INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR AID TO COME IN TO JUMP START THE WORK.

IT'S A SIX POINT SIX MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT.

"The federal government needs to reimburse them for that effort because Belmar is a jewel not only for New Jersey but for this country."

DOG LION LOOKALIKE -VO-PLASMA

IF YOU SAW THIS DOG ON YOUR STREET, YOU'D LIKELY DO A DOUBLE-TAKE.

9-1-1 CALLS POURED IN AFTER PEOPLE IN VIRGINIA THOUGHT THEY SAW A LION ROAMING THE STREETS.

BUT IN THE END, IT WAS JUST AN ADORABLE LABRADOODLE.

DOG LION LOOKALIKE -PKG

"911 what's your emergency?"

"I'm driving down the street right before the zoo and there's a lion that ran across the street, a baby lion."

911 calls about a lion loose near the Virginia Zoo.quickly came to the attention of the zoo director.

"At first we all looked at each other like could it be?"

Workers rushed to see if Zola and Mramba escaped. The sleeping cats hadn't moved a muscle.

"and immediately i knew the other lion in town."

"we call him our lab a lion"

When you see the face that caused all that fear, you can't help but laugh. at the labradoodle they call "Charles the Monarch."

"I bought him as a puppy. my daughter was going to ODU as a freshman and their mascot is a lion but when he grew as a puppy his fur just blew out."

And that's when owner Daniel Painter got the idea. to shave Charlie's fur and dye some of it a darker color. The goal to make the dog more popular at ODU tailgates.

"Now he turned into so much of a celebrity that its her dog again and im fine with that too"

"come home. awwww"

So the next time you see a lion on Granby Street or Colley Ave, remember, if it looks like a lion,

and it hunts like a lion.

It's probably just a dog with a funny looking haircut.

SARASOTA COUNTY ATTORNEY STEVEN DEMARSH NOTIFIED SARASOTA COMMISSIONERS JUST THIS WEEK THAT A RECENT COURT DECISION DECLARED LOCAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BAN SMOKING IN PUBLIC OUTDOOR AREAS.

ONLY THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE CAN MAKE SUCH A BAN.

"Whether it's a smoking facility or non smoking facility I think that should be up to us locally."

THE NEWS IS WELCOMING FOR SMOKERS ON SIESTA KEY BEACH, WHICH WAS RECENTLY RATED #1 IN THE COUNTRY LARGELY ON THE NOTION THAT SMOKING IS BANNED.

"Now you can smoke on the beach and you don't have to walk all the way off the beach to some smoke a cigarette."
