FWC Investigates

Large Number Of

Dead Alligators In

Mallory Swamp


I TS okI C 0


The Historic Trenton School Gymnasium is now located on the new site where the facility will once again be best utilized by elementary school students.
A State of Florida Historic grant will be applied for in the near future to assist in defraying the cost to put the historic facility back to its original
condition. Gray Construction Services will be constructing a new foundation to hold this historic building. When the facility is completed a dedication
program will be held on the site to honor the many people.that made this "Old Gym Project" a reality. The historic facility will once again be one of the
best recreational facilities in the area. Photo by Anna Wild.


A large number of dead.
alligators found in the Mallory
Swamp area in Lafayette County
has the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
(FWC) concerned.
According to Capt. Roy
Brown, area supervisor for
Lafayette County, numerous
alligators have been found shot
and floating along the North and
South Canal grades and the L.A.
Bennett grade which borders
private lands and the Mallory
Swamp Wildlife Management
Area.
"We believe these are random
shootings.. No parts are taken,
after the animals are killed,".
Brown said. "This is a useless
and wasteful crime that tarnishes
the image of ethical hunters."
In the past year, FWC officers
have arrested six subjects for
killing five alligators in the
general area. In those cases,
however, the suspects were
apprehended with alligators or
parts and thought to be unrelated
to this latest spree, according to
Brown.
"Unfortunately, there are some
dog hunters who may believe
that by killing alligators, the
potential threat to their hunting
dogs is eliminated," Brown said.
However, according to Allan
Woodward, FWC biologist,
alligators in north Florida eat
very little during the fall and
winter months and pose little


threat to dogs.
"When water temperatures
drop below 60 degrees, the
gators stop feeding and become
,semi-dormant. This usually
occurs in early December. They
can come out and bask in the sun
during a warm front, but they
don't eat during the winter,"
Woodward explained.
Alligators are a- .protected
species and are listed as
"Species of Special Concern." It
is a third-degree felony to kill an
alligator and punishable up t6
a $5,000 fine and/or five years
imprisonment.
Anyone with knowledge
about what happened to these
alligators can call the FWC's
Wildlife Alert hotline toll. free
at 1-888-404-3922. Callers
can remain anonymous and
are eligible for a reward of up
to $1,000 if the information
leads to an arrest. Reports can
also be made online at http:

Comments
By John M. Ayers
With this edition the
Gilchrist County Journal ushers
in a new year. In: Gilchrist
County the New Year'brings an
increase of the cost of business
and residential living for new
residents and businesses moving
into the' county of just over
16,000 in population.
The increase in the
residential Impact Fee to
$3500.00 provides funding for
Gilchrist County and the
Gilchrist County School
District. The. School. District
will receive their portion, $750
beginning January 1, 2006. The
county will now receive $2,750.
The increase is reported to
provide revenue for the many
upgrades in service for 'the
increasing population in this


rural .county. The Gilchrist
County School District
requested that the. Gilchrist.
County Commission approve an
Impact Fee specifically for the,
School District to, purchase
equipment and other
administrative needs.
. The Gilchrist County. Impact
Fee revenues are divided
between transportation needs
and capital building projects
'(courthouse expansion and new
jail).
The new year brought 14
new students to school. at
Trenton Elementary, reported'
Assistant Principal Riley Deqn.
Mr. Deen explained that the
school had lost 3 students to-
transfer before the holidays and
*the actual increase w ill report 11
new students in class. The Pre-'
K -hrough fifth grade scho61o in
Trenton reported that 809.
students are listed on the roll at,
the beginning of 2006.

Streetwise
By: Lauren Rudd
"...The world looks brand-
new," said Hobbes. "A New
Year...a fresh clean start," said
Calvin. "It's like having a big
white sheet of paper, to draw
on," said Hobbes. "A day full of
possibilities," said Calvin. "It's
a magical world, Hobbes old
buddy...let's go exploring."
Bill Watterson wrote those,
words' in, December of 1995
as he concluded the last .of his
Calvin and Hobbes comic strips,
a framed copy ofv which hangs on
the wall by my desk. Moreover,.
every year since 1995, open my
first column of'the New Year by
quoting that phrase because, the
message is so abundantly clear.
It is a reminder that clearly
the New Year is like an
untouched canvas waiting
for whatever creation you are
inclined to place upon it. From
an investment perspective, the
financial markets are analogous
,to Calvin's magical world...full
'of possibilities. All that remains
is for you to go exploring.
By the time you read this.
Wall Street will have closed the
curtain on a 2005 performance
that left a lot to be desired.
As I write this, the Dow Jones,
industrial average is up about
71 points for the year, or about
0.7 percent. The NASDAQ is
up 73 points for the year, or, 3.4.
percent, while the S&P 500 is up
56 points or 4.7 percent. Yet, that
data is relatively meaningless.
To see why. consider that the
second best performer within
the S&P500 was Valero Energy.
with a gain of 128 percent (See
Streetwise for Oct. 2, 2005. Oct.
3,2p04atRuddReport.com). The
point being that the connection
between your portfolio and the
markets' performance is tenuous
at best.
During the upcoming New
Year, you will have to deal with
many of the same hurdles that
challenged your investment
acumen in 2005, including
rising 'interest ,rates, weaker
profit growth, tenuous economic
expansion, budget deficits and
higher energy prices...just to
name a few.
Therefore, Wall Street will
once again snare the unprepared
and the naive in a quicksand
like embrace from .which a
profitable extrication is next to
impossible. To avoid problems,
you will need to be patient with
your portfolio and use common
sense when you invest.
As Warren Buffett once
said, "Success in investing
doesn't correlate with I.Q.,
once you're above the IQ level
of .25. Rather what you need
is the temperament to control
the urges that get others into
trouble."
As much as I dislike the
idea of trying to project
annual market performance,
no first-of-the-year column
would be complete without a-
forecast of some kind. For two
years now the.Dow has ended
the year tantalizing close to
the 11,000 mark. This year,.
barring a recession, the Dow
will likely break through that


We'll be moving to our new
location in February 2006! Until
then we're still where you've
always found us!

psychologically important
11,000 mark no later than mid-
year, while the NASDAQ and
the S&P 500 will mimic this
year's performance. ,
Unfortunately, over the next
few weeks, you are going to be
inundated with market forecasts
of every description. You need
to remember that the trick is not
to fall sway to the passions .of
the market, gr the tenets of its
prognosticators.

Remember when we were
young? For me that would be a
little over 30 years ago. If you
are about my age you will
remember that a big date in
those da\s included a movie and
pizza in Gainesville. Believe it
or not the best place and about
.the only place to eat .pizza was
at a Pizza Hut which was
located on 13T Street. This was
.the first Pizza Hut@ in the
Gainesville area and it has now
been closed for years.
John and I .were talking about
how good the pizza was -back in,
the day. Their pizza had a
wonderful crust and the\ piled
their toppings and cheese on'
.real thick. Needless to sa\ Pizza
Hut@ pizza is not what it once
was.: If you've eaten at one of
their restaurants lately] ybu
know what I mean.
Our. generation has many
happy memories of eating there
in the 70s. Sev eral of my friends
were proposed to and proudly
put on their engagement rings
for the first time in that very.
restaurant.
Remembering this good pizza
has recently sent me on a quest
to learn to make good pizza at
home. I called my good friend
Paulette Vickers and asked her
for .pizza making ,advice.
Paulette you see ,is known far'
and wide for making wonderful
pizza. I'm wondering all the
time I'm talking to her if a
Florida Cracker can make good
pizza. Now mind Nou mine isn't
quite as good as Paulette's but it
isn't half .bad. In fact, my
husband's eyes kinda light up
. when I tell him we are having
pizza for supper.
To make a long story short I
hae found a good crust recipe,
that will make enough dough
for two large pizzas. I also
in ested in a pizza baking stone
which makes the crust crisper,
on the bottom. Let me warn
you, just in case you decide to
make the crust it'takes about 2
hours rise time, so by all means
do not try it unless you have the
time.


1 V cups warm water (105 to,
115 degrees)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 packages dr.\ Neast
4 V cups all-purpose flour
Combine first 4 ingredients in
a mixing bowl; sprinkle yeast
over mixture, stirring until
dissolved. Gradually add flour,
mixing well after each addition.
Turn dough out onto a lightly
floured surface, and knead until
smooth and elastic. Shape into a
ball, and place in a greased


bowl, turning to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm
place (85 degrees), free. from
drafts, 1 hour or until doubled.
' Punch dough down, and
divide in half. Lightly grease
hands, and pat dough evenly
into 2 12-inch pizza pans. Cover
and let rise in warm place, same
as above, about one hour, or
until doubled. Bake the pizza,
crust untopped for 5 minutes at
450 degrees.
The topping. of course, is
your choice but I have included
some of my favorites at the end
of the following recipe.
Note: I mix up this .crust
recipe using my electric mixer
and the dough hook. I do not
hand kneed it I just'beat a few
minutes' extra on lower. speed
!using my machine.



1/2 green pepper.,chopped
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
3Iounces tomato paste
(1/2 can) '
teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Saute first 4 ingredients in hot
oil in a heavy bottomed pot
until tender. 4
Place .tomatoes in food
processor, process until smooth.
add to onion mixture. Stir in
tomato paste, oregano, and salt
andpepper. Bring to boil then
reduce heat and sinimer for one
hour.'
If you don't have a food
processor .ou can use a blender
to process the tomatoes.

Use, this sauce w ith any
toppings you like, such as green
peppers, onions mushrooms,
mozzarella cheese, pork
sausage, pepperoni. ham, olives.
.and Parmesan cheese. After
pizza is topped as you desire
(don't add cheese Net) bake it,
for 15 minutes at 450 degrees
then top with cheese and 'bake'
an additional 5 minutes.
NOTE: when all is going well'
with my 'kitchen I have, a bush
of fresh basil growing. in a.pot
near the front door. If I have it
on hand I tear it into small
pieces and add it near the end of
the baking time when I. add the
cheese. Fresh basil isad a
wonderful addition and' very
easy to grow.

Each day of our lives we
make deposits in the memory
banks of our children.

Our Calendar Is
Too Full
Ask the Learning
Advisor Ideas for Raising
Successful Children
Q: My kids are involved with
so many activities. We always
seem to be.rushing off to another
class or driving to another
practice. When I look at last
year's calendar, I realize it was
'just way too full. There are so
many opportunities available,
but how can I manage it all?
A: Parents sometimes worry
that they'll be shortchanging
their children if they don't
involve them in all those
activities. But consider the
impact on your family life.
What is the family. sacrificing
so your children can be in these
activities?
Check your own lifestyle.
Are: you over-committed?
Exhausted? Have no time
for what gives you joy? Your
children are likely to mirror
you. So, relax. Help your family
find more time for togetherness.
Tell your children that you want
to cut down on some of the
activities this year.
Schedule a, time to talk with
your- children individually.
Ask them to choose one or
two activities that are most
important. This will teach your
children to make some choices.
Some may even surprise you.
Even if you loved seeing your
son take piano lessons, he may
tell you that's not what he's
interested in.
Get the family together
and start filling out your new
calendar. Build in more family
time now-you'll hate time for
other activities later on. Include
some of the following:
Family Night. Designate one
night a week to watchh a movie.
pop popcorn and simply be
together with no rushing.
Fun time. Schedule dates for
the zoo, the children's theater,
or an afternoon to bake cookies.
Keep the dates.
Dining out. Go out to eat
together. Try new foods.
Practice table manners.
Sporting events. Go to a-,
community ball game. Cheer
for your home team.
Go to the library or book
store., Schedule time to talk
about %%hat you're reading.. ,
Volunteer together. Try
visiting residents at a nursing
home. They will love it-and
you will get even more out of it
. than they) will.
Turn off the TV. Play a board
game once.a week. After initial
Resistance, kids arid adults.will
love it and look forward to the
time together.
With all the activities
available to children today,
it's easy to get so involved that
you lose sight of their most
important priority-getting an
education. Help your children
learn how to take. part in the
activities they enjoy, but still
have time for studying, for
family-and just growing up.


The Value Of Daily Meditation
(Kent Heaton)


The physical body is designed to have
nourishment each 'day. Through the creative power
and wisdom of God, the flesh requires renewal and
sustenance to maintain life. A body lacking water or
food will die. Starvation is a terrible way to die as a
slow, painful and miserable process takes place
because the requirements to sustain life are neglected.
Neglect of the corporeal needs of the body will bring
death to the flesh and neglect of the spiritual needs of
the soul will cause spiritual death.
As God designed the mortal body to require
nourishment, so the inner man requires nourishment.
Paul wrote, "Wherefore we faint not; but though
our outward man is decaying, yet our'inward man is
renewed day by day" (2 Corinthians 4:16). There is a
part of man that is of more value than the outward
tabernacle; the image of God. When God created man
in Genesis 1,. He said, "Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness" (v26). This is the
component of man that neVer dies.
The need of the inner man is a daily renewal.
Without the nourishment of God's presence, the
spiritual man will suffer malnutrition and become
diseased. The value of daily meditation with God is
the sustenance drawn from His presence in our daily
lives. David knew the value of daily meditation when
he wrote, "But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;
and on his law doth he meditate day and night. And
he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of
water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose
leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth
shall prosper" (Psalms 1:2-3).
The law of Jehovah is a delight; as something
we enjoy, we find pleasant and we desire. As food to
the body is a nourishing delight so the law of our
Lord is something we must have each day. The
presence of His word in our lives is a meditation that
guides us through the day as we ponder His power,
love, majesty and wisdom. Psalm 119 is a declarative


thesis on the power of the law of Jehovah. The writer
declares how much they love the law of the'Lord as a
meditation all the day and the wisdom gained from
the knowledge -of Jehovah's mind. The law makes
one wiser, with more understanding, helping to
refrain ones feet from every evil way and serves as a
"lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (v105).
The Psalmist further states, "How sweet are
Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my
mouth" (Psalm 119:103). The' value of daily
meditation is how sweet the words of the Lord affect
our daily walk. In times of trouble, we find solace in
the guidance of a loving God; in times of joy, we
share with the ancients of old the happiness in
trusting in a bountiful Savior; from the pages of our
daily meditation we ascend to the throne of our
Father to find safety in His arms.
The value of daily meditation is the time we
spend with the Lord. Eternal life will not be granted
to those who are strangers to the Son of God. Only
those who have a daily walk with Him will share
Heaven. Each day is filled with a long discussion
with the Creator of this world; the Savior of all men
and the power of His gospel. Our daily mediation is
the joy we find in consuming His words in our life.
Jeremiah the prophet wrote, "Thy words were found,'
and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a
joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by
thy name, 0 Jehovah, God of hosts" (Jeremiah
15:16).
As the Lord instructed Joshua, so we must do.
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and
night, that thou may observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success" (Joshua 1:8). May our lives be enriched by
the daily meditation of the word of God.

Log Cabin Quilters
Log Cabin Quilters met
Thursday, December 29th, at the
Levy County Quilt Museum. It
was a busy day for being the last
meeting of the year. Two quilts
were put together and quilting
was started. Another one was
taken out of the frame and a new
one goes in next week. We are
now quilting on four quilts each
week.
We are trying to get every-
thing back in place and put up
the Christmas crafts. It seems
we have so much here but: we
always find a space for it. Many
new crafts are being made all the
time and it's fun to see what can
be done.
Tuesday was a great day for
me. Jarrod and six boys were
out to do the many things that
have to be done and then Blythe
Stender, her mother and daddy,
came to visit from Washington
.State and Maryland. I took
care of Blythe when she was 22
months old until she was almost
seen. I gave her the doll she
played with and her name was
Susy. I gave her other things
I ha]e kept for her through the
years She is no%. 28 \ears old
but still a little girl that I love
%erN much.
Lunch was so good. We had
chicken and dumplins. beans.
potato fritters. all kinds of salad.
lots of desserts and so much
more. There were 15 members
and three guests.

A Note From Ms.
Cosgrove And Your
Country Connection
GREETINGS:
Happy New Year to all my
Country Connection Friends,
Please excuse me for not send-
ing greetings over the Christmas
. holiday. :I became seriously ill
and spent some time in the hos-
pital. I started having stroke-like
symptoms such as needing help
walking, unable to talk much,
shaking all over, etc. Thankfully
tests showed the cause was from:
the lack of enough sodium in my
.system. Imagine? I never heard
of such, a. thing. Anyway, due
to this I've been' home bound,
needing home health care to
come in,. and having to use a
walker. I'm told it has a slow
recovery period but I'll come
through it okay. I'm a fighter
and with God's help I can't lose.
Already, I'm beginning to get
my voice back some and feel
stronger and am eating better.
Thumbs up!
Best wishes to all of you,,
Lois

From The
Shelves Of
The
Bookworm
Don't forget! If you write a
check or if you are putting the
date on your homework paper,
the year is 2006. What about
this resolution business? Did
you make a resolution or maybe
resolutions? Once I asked' a
young man this question and
he answered that he had not.
He said if you are perfect, you
don't have to make resolutions.
Was he truthful or was he being
arrogant?
My resolution is that I can
keep up with paperwork I 'am
expected to take care of and
complete. Last week I finished
one report, now another -one
from another group 'will be due
next week.
Recently a very gracious
patron came into Bell Library
and gave us about 20 books,
all in good condition and were
from popular writers such as
Debbie Macomber, Patricia
Hagan and Nora Roberts to
name a few. Some were regular
print and others were large print
for our patrons who are having
problems with reading small


print. This is the way we exist,
getting donations like this.
Thank you so much, we are
anxious for another visit from
you.
The Summer I Dared by
Barbara Delinsky will hold
your attention as you meet the
main character who is one of the
survivors when a ferry boat was
struck by a speeding pleasure
craft.
It is not every day that a
young lady 'is asked to take a
part in a movie featuring a well
known teenage star. It is in
Star Rider, a Saddle Club Book
written by Bonnie Bryant, that
this happens. Are her friends
pleased or are they jealous?
A charming little book, Jump,
Frog, Jump, relates how the little
frog escapes being another
animal's dinner because this
frog knew when to jump, frog,
jump!
Come by-and get a book or
use the Internet. Remember we
are closing at 5:00. p.m. each
day except for Saturdays when
we close at 2:00 p.im.

A leader is a person with a

UThich House is Right for Wou?
Looking at houses can be
confusing. Grouping several in a
day can make the process even
more mind boggling. It is
important for you to look at. each
house carefully. My goal is that
once you read this article, you will
be better prepared when looking at
the next home for your family,
- Taking notes is a good way to
keep houses straight. Writing
down the features that you like,
and the ones you dislike is good
information. The Realtor that you
are working with should have a
copy of the, MLS sheet available.
This is a perfect place for note
taking, as the important
information about that specific
house is included.
- Along with taking notes, bring
your digital camera. Looking at
the house through your eyes is the
most important view. Marketing
photos may not embellish the
features that you are interested in,
and not the Realtor's view.
- Also, write down the feelings you
get while in the home. A number
of Buyer's have expressed to me
that they knew as soon as they
walked in the home, that it felt like
home. Imagine if you were
already living there, picture your
belongings, and decorations in the
home.
- Include any cosmetic changes
that you would like done to the
home. Also do not forget the
outside of the home, imagine the-
landscaping you like, and see how
your tastes would work with the
architecture of the home.
- When you sit down to go over all
your notes, the pictures and the
feelings will help bring back to life
the overall experience you had
while in the home. This should aid
you in narrowing down your
choices, and help you choose the
right home foir your family.

place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents
an, estimate based on the value of business with similar
equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your
responsibility to file an accurate return.
Q. What if I don't agree with the assessed value that appears on
the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in
August of each year?
A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If
you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the
actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the
opportunity to review all the pertinent facts.

Who is responsible for the taxes?
A. The new owner is responsible, however if there is insuffi-
cient property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January 1
woutd be responsible for the difference. Most title companies
do not do a search of the tangible assets of a business. You
should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent
to avoid problems in this area.
