Today's Opinions

  • Filty rich and lovin' it

    By the time you read this, I will not be a millionaire. I did not win the Powerball–again.
    But then again, I never bought a ticket. This time or ever.
    I know. I know. You can’t win if you don’t play. It never occurs to me to buy a ticket–not even when the jackpot is half a billion dollars.
    What does occur to me is how I would spend that money. I daydream about it. Often.
    A few minutes ago while I was on break, I drifted off into that place where life is idyllic, I’m a size 10 and I am the Powerball winner.

  • Something to be thankful for

    To the editor:
    I am a mother who lost her job at Walmart after five years. I am on unemployment, working trying hard to make ends meet. I  already told my children that Christmas would have to wait. My son, who is 10,  teared up. He said, “Don’t worry, Mom. It’s not about the gifts.”
    Later that day I rounded up change to buy diapers for my daughter and my grandson. My son went  with me. I was short a dollar.

  • I didn't even know I had a bucket list

    Let’s face it. I’m not a spring chicken.
    I have three adult children, two of whom have solid careers while the other is finishing his senior year of college.
    I don’t have grandchildren, but I’m definitely old enough to have a passel. I could even have a couple who could be as old as 12. But remember, I don’t.
    I’m not fit and thin and my eyebrows spotted gray two years before I found my first one in my head this past January.
    Indeed, I am old.

  • Reason to celebrate

    To the editor:
        Tuesday night the supporters of Obama went to the Island Room for dinner and drinks and got a chance to view election returns.
     Since the returns were not conclusive, they retired to the home of two members of the group and were pleased to see the campaign go very quickly for Obama.
    The final acceptance speech was not ready until 2 a.m. What a strong finish Obama had! He spoke of hope, working together and being the President of the United States, of all the people, whether they voted for him or not.

  • Florida's election tally a disgrace

    To the editor:
    It is an absolute disgrace that once again Florida leads the entire nation including states whose polls closed much later than Florida, in the inability to produce election results in a timely and reasonable fashion.
    The Secretary of State who has been placed in their position like Katherine Harris awhile back, and the governors (currently Republican Rick Scott) who appointed them are solely responsible for this disgrace which could have been foreseen.
     Come on Florida.  We can do better than this.

  • Williston does it right

    For a year Williston Mayor Gerald Hethcoat has led the effort that would bring this year’s Levy County Veterans Day parade to our city.
    Phone calls, e-mails, face-to-face conversations and a lot of work–and probably prayer and sleepless nights–paid off Monday when hundreds came to Williston to honor the men and women of our Armed Forces.
