Today's Opinions

  • Keep those pets cool

    As temperatures repeatedly reach over ninety degrees, we need to take some extra precautions with our furry friends. When leaving an animal outdoors, take the time to make sure there is plenty of shade and water available. An open shelter that provides cover and lets wind blow through is suggested. It's nice to provide drinking water in the shelter, too, though it's not absolutely necessary.

  • Thank you Chiefland Citizen

    I want to thank the Chiefland Citizen for coming to cover the recent presentation I did at the Chiefland Multipurpose Senior Center regarding the  basics of Alzheimer's disease. The exposure in your newspaper will help  increase our exposure and outreach in Levy County, which is one of our goals for the coming year.

  • Thank you to sponsors

     We would like to take this opportunity to thank and recognize the sponsors, volunteers, teams and the community for their contributions and participation during the CHS 3 vs 3 Basketball Tournament and 3 Point Shoot Out. 
    The much needed funds that were raised will go toward the continuing process of giving both the CHS boys and girls basketball programs, the tools needed to have productive and successful programs.

  • Kudos to Chiefland commissioners

    Dear Honorable Commissioners:
    The College of Central Florida Levy Center adult education program held a GED graduation ceremony at the Tommy Usher Center July 14. It was the best graduation we ever had because of your generosity in allowing us to use the facility free of charge.

  • Leadline safety with large animals

    It is so sad to hear of the child that was severely injured from leading her horse that spooked during a thunderstorm.  I pray she will recover.
    But a reminder of how to safely lead animals is appropriate: Never coil leadlines with the hand inside the coils.  Instead, use both hands to hold the line straight. Another method is to fold the line like a three-fold letter and place the hand totally over the line.
    Accidents can still happen but will be much less dangerous, usually.

  • Social Security already paid up

    From Webster's dictionary:
    Fund – a sum of money set aside for some particular purpose.
    Pension – a payment, not wages, made regularly to a person (or his family) who have fulfilled certain conditions of service, reached a certain age.
    Social Security – In the U.S., a federal system of old age, unemployment, or disability insurance for various categories of employment and dependent persons, financed by a fund maintained jointly by employees, employers, and the government.
