Friday was the first day of spring break and the end of the third grading quarter. We are all feeling a little anxious to relax and take a break from school, leading to a lot of misconduct. Last week, teachers arrived to police and chaos. People, (I'm unable to find specifics so don't quote me on this), broke into the school breaking into two vending machines.
We all know what anger is, and we’ve all felt it: whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage. Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you’re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.
You have again failed to listen to the voters of your district and chosen, in your vote Sunday night on the Health-care bill, to follow the lead of Speaker Pelosi and the Democratic Party. This health-care bill is a disaster and fiscally irresponsible for current and future generations of taxpayers. It will destroy the health care of my family and others that reside in your district and the nation as a whole.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- It felt warm enough to go to the beach on the first day of spring and what a welcome sight it was when one of my teen daughters and I went to Smyrna Dunes Park on the Northern tip of the beachside peninsula. It cost $5 a carload, and I think it was well worth it because this lovely site has fascinating people, boats, and animals. There were few people on the sand between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, but there were plenty of boats passing Florida's tallest lighthouse located in nearby Ponce Inlet to the north.
Have you noticed? Haven’t you seen it? Surely you must have had a hint that a blush of green has started to replace the browns and grays of winter. Unquestionably spring is on its way. Every day should get greener by the hour. Buds will be breaking open and the prettiest time of the year will be here in full splendor before you know it. Welcome to the world of the Meleagris gallopavo osceola, more commonly reffered to as the Osceola Wild Turkey.
I am outraged that the Florida Board of Education has put out a memo excusing students from having to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of our country. First, we have our president who does not place his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is being played and now our children can ignore the significance of our flag.
Part of the reason for this is the one nation “under God” part which may offend some students in a class. Well, too bad!
Perhaps you have noticed kids being a little happier this week compared to last week. On the other hand, possibly you heard the enormous sigh of relief come from middle and high schools across the state on Thursday March 11. It was due to this little thing called FCAT.
EDGEWATER, Fla. -- This hawk intrigued me because I thought it was a Peregrine Falcon when I first spotted it sitting on a telephone line.
Stress. This is a word that every teenager on the planet is familiar with, but what we don't know is what stress can do to us. Everyone suffers from forms of stress -- adults, teens, and even sometimes young children, but it seems that stress affects teenagers the most.
I hope the citizens of New Smyrna Beach realize that 90 individuals are about to try and take some very valuable property that belongs to you, your children, and your grandchildren.
The Anglers Club has offered the City $795,500 for 2 North Causeway. Plus, they want city government to finance it for 33 years with the city holding the mortgage. Can you imagine that? The city in the banking business for a group of guys with influence who have had a sweetheart deal of a lease with the city since the 1940s at $25 a year on a lease that is suspect to begin with.
