BRONSON - The storm clouds that were on the horizon are now here for the School Board of Levy County.

Financial officer Robert Clemons believes that with proper precautions, Levy will be able to survive the spring state budget cut storm.

The 2008-09 school year is another story.

With additional state funding cuts estimated at more than a half million dollars, Levy is preparing to make moves that could shave a big chunk of money.

These moves revealed at Tuesday's school board meeting would hopefully prevent faculty and other staff casualties.

I am absolutely certain without a doubt that the global warming stuff is true. Here is my scientific, can't-be-wrong evidence. For the past seven years (or seems so) my whip-poor-will has returned to the woods next to me on EXACTLY March 21, a.k.a. the first day of spring. But this year he returned on St. Patrick's Day (March 17), which is a full four days early. I can also add an extra day for leap year, which means that he actually returned five days early. No doubt now, the icebergs will be melting, and those of us who live toward Otter Creek will soon have ocean-front property.

"I had a family to support, so although those were my interests, I really wasn't able to pursue a career," he said.

“Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:4 NIV)

Is there a sin gene? Will DNA researchers someday discover that sin consists of a molecular structure and is scientifically observable so that a new professional endeavor will be devoted to eradicating this blight from humanity utilizing sophisticated treatments? Will these treatments be considered a violation of human rights, because they destroy an individual’s unique personality?
