To the editor:

The appalling amount of litter lining our county’s roads is a depressing sight. Litter is not only ugly, it is a distraction for motorists. It decreases property values, depresses tourism, and discourages potential new residents from relocating to Levy County. It is also a hazard to pedestrians, equestrians, and animals. According to the National Audubon Society, by 2050 there will be more plastic debris in our oceans than marine life.

To the editor:

Orange Hill Cemetery is a beautiful place for our loved ones who are buried there. It is our wish and our desire that we continue to keep and maintain this memorable resting place.

We are having a bit of a financial challenge that we, as a loving group, must begin to address.

The source of income (lot sales) is beginning to diminish while the expense of maintenance is continuing to increase. We, as members and family of Orange Hill Cemetery, must now take charge to cover our expenses.

To the editor:

Three days before Richard Spencer’s speech at UF I received an email newsletter from Congressman Ted Yoho.  He seemed more concerned about possible violence by Antifa than by the attempted takeover of the United States government by the Alt right.  You know, the ones that shot at a group of peaceful protestors after the event, and beforehand, were reported to be gathering in Gainesville because “Florida is an open carry state”.  Spencer’s freedom of speech is allowing him to yell “fire” without restrictions.

To the editor:

Once in a while, you come across a person you know is so amazing and wonderful that you must acknowledge and recognize them.

This person for my husband and me is a young lady who is a banker at Drummond Bank in Williston by the name of Keisha Richardson.
