Life and lifestyle: What’s the difference? “Life is what hap- pens to you while you’re making other plans.” Yes, Bob I’ve been listening to Denny John Lennon’s music re- cently. His song, “Beau- tiful Boy” brought us that Just Thinking quotation. “Life” really does happen to you. But what’s the difference between “life” and “lifestyle?” Can you build a better life for yourself while life is happening to you? I look at “life” as everything you’re born with, what you learn, and how you adapt to the world and people around you. But “lifestyle” is the result of the choices you make. Lifestyle is how you’ve chosen to live, given all of those other factors that made you “you.” So, it’s all about the choices you make every day, all day long, minute to minute — whether you’re aware of making those choices or not. Choices can be the epitome of your personal power, the control you can have over your own life, and what you do with it, and what you make of your life. How can you use your own personal power, your power to choose, to build the best life you can for How often should we check yourself? First of all, acknowledge your power.

amazing,” Meeks said. The Cedar Key Light Station was built in 1854 and had a working light up until 1915. The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge own it, and the facility is maintained and operated as part of the UF/IFAS Nature Coast Biological Station. Andrew Gould, the director of the Cedar Keys Na- tional Wildlife Refuge, talked about how privileged the residents of Levy were to be surrounded by so much protected refuge land. According to Gould, the Big Bend area has the largest remaining unde- veloped coastline in the United States. Mike Allen, the director of the Biological Station on the island said the process of getting the lens rebuilt began three years ago. A grant was penned and a community effort helped push the project forward. Allen thanked everyone involved in that effort, including Dr. Jack Payne, the Senior Vice President of Agricultural Resources at UF. Allen also praised the partnership with UF, which allows edu- cational research and tours for students of all ages. Lastly, former Levy tourism director Carol Mc- Queen portrayed the late Catharine Hobday, took the stage to talk about the history around the time the lighthouse was operational. Hobday was one of the last lighthouse keepers. She was also mother of Andrew D. Hobday, who also served as a lighthouse keeper. Catharine served as the assistant keeper from 1873-1879. Catharine originally traveled here from Baltimore.

Since 1997, the Service has been able to retain fees collected at the station, first under the Recreation Fee Demon- stration Program and then, in 2004, under the authority of Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). The FLREA was established to provide funding for recreation program improvements. Typical projects paid for by recreation fee funds include road and parking lot maintenance, brochures, envelopes, handling and mailings of hunt information, trail improvements, and DEBORAH GOAD/Citizen salaries for law enforce- Greater Works Ministries Church in Bronson provided free chicken dinners for the volunteers participating in the community clean-up at the ment.
