A fifth Friday is the one week a month The Ledger — our read of West Volusia's monthly property sales, normally one city at a time — pulls back to take in all six locales at once. April's widest view: Deltona moved the most houses, 107 of them; DeLand set the ceiling with a $935,000 place on Marsh Road and four of the county's seven priciest sales; and Lake Helen, which logged exactly one qualifying sale all month, watched that single house land inside the top seven. The Briefs, the week's regional news pulse, keep their own arithmetic: a $79,400 county-and-Habitat build finishing four homes for veterans on DeLand's East Walts Avenue, the Neighborhood Center asking the county for $81,000 to refill a food pantry that keeps emptying, and a Lake Helen water main opened by a septic truck parked at the wrong meter.

The Almanac, the week ahead, runs from a Tina Turner tribute on the Athens stage to an accordion afternoon at DeBary Hall to a blue-moon hike along Blue Spring. The Register — which logs the week's new business filings across the six locales — counted DeLand out front at 34, a rare non-profit among them in DeBary, and a knot of cleaning and home-service LLCs in Deltona. And The Plate, this issue's eatery pick, stays in Deltona: Sabor Latino, the criollo kitchen a Puerto Rican family has run on Deltona Boulevard since 2013, where the mofongo gets measured against the island and the walls carry a gallery's worth of art.
