  • Wild observations

    I've been writing this column for a long time, and some weeks I think, "there's nothing to write about." Then I sit down, usually on Fridays, to put my nature observations down in a column format, and three pages later-well, nothing has become something.

  • County keeps millage rate

    Levy County's property tax millage rate will remain at its current rate - 7.4212 mills - for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1.
