About a year ago, the Suwannee River Water Management District said it discovered an illegal road built across sensitive wetlands near Cedar Key.

The District sent a letter to the alleged offender, Scott McNulty. A month later, McNulty’s attorney sent a letter to the District claiming the road was exempt from any required permitting, claiming it to have been “grandfathered in” because of when it was built.

The GTO Airboat 13th Annual Fishing Tournament was held in Cedar Key last Saturday, May 21 and three local men won as the third place redfish team.They were the renowned fishing guide, Lloyd Collins and his novice fishing partners, Greg Lang and Bob Hudson.

It was a fun event and the GTO folks did a nice job. There were many nice prizes and lots of good food and fellowship. Most impressive was the GTO’s insistence that boaters idle their airboats when close to the public beach and shore, so as not to disturb people.

A common misconception of Buddhism is that of denying earthly desires and that to practice Buddhism, one must live an austere life by giving up possessions and spending a lot of time meditating. While that may be true of some sects of Buddhists, it is not of Mahayana Buddhists. Followers of Nicherin Daishonin fall into this group.
