This :meeting began with the installa- tion ceremonies of Ray Sanders *as the new Bell Town Council :member. Mr. Sanders has lived :in Bell his entire life and most recently retired from the Bell *Post Office after 26 years of :service. He was sworn in by :David M. Lang, Jr., the attorney ,for the Town of Bell. After his 'installation, he took his place with the other council members and business began. Council members voted to approve the re-zoning of 80 acres presently being developed for a residential. subdivision. The subdivision is being constructed by Gray Construction Company Inc. and Jon Gray, president, was at the _meeting to provide information about the project. The re-zoning of this property will allow the residents to be located on V2 acre lots each rather than the original 1 acre size parcel. After a member of the com- munity requested the use of the To, n Hall FI'r .eddini o oi e. was made and approved that they implement the pohliecy of not al- lowing the use of the Town Hall for anything other than govern- ment usage. This decision had to be made due to sensitive doc- uments maintained on the prem- ises. The Town, Council also approved the vote which will prohibit outdoor yard sales on commercial zoning areas except for the Chamber of Commerce Park in Bell. Outdoor yard sales may be conducted at this park on Saturday. A conditional use outdoor sales permit can still be obtained from the Town Hall. This vote came about due to safety concerns about the many yard sale vendors now using the Bell Town Council Member Ray Sanders, left, is shown receiving the Oath of Office by David M.

The Council was presented with a new zoning map created by Chris Ruggles, an employee with the Gilchrist County Prop- erty Appraisers Office in their mapping department. The new map gives much more detail and clear zoning definition in .the Town of Bell. The board will be reviewing the map this month and will vote on. accept- ing the new map as their of- ficial zoning map in February. The council decided to form a planning committee for the 2006 Bell Christmas Parade. If anyone is interested on being on the parade committee please contact Deanna Crews at the Town Hall for more informa- tion.. . After much consideration the council -members voted to. pay Gilchrist Count. to continue to provide fire ser ice in the Town of Bell. Gilchrist, County Commissioner Randy Durden was present to explain that the county had not been charging the Town of Bell for fire ser- vices in the past, but they have been charging the residents of Gilchrist County. In October 2005, the Town of Bell exer- cised their option to not take part in the Fire Special Assess- ment in Gilchrist County. With the adoption of the Fire Special Assessment the fire service in Gilchrist will be upgraded over a ten-year period. Gilchrist County and the Town of Bell entered into an agreement that the municipality would pay the county for providing fire 'service to the Town of Bell. TiC. ..Fire Special As.sessment fee for the Towkn of Bell \'as' reported to be $19.536 17. Gilchrist County agreed to give the Town of Bell a credit of $6,000 annually for the use use of the Town of Bell fire house and equipment. The Town of Bell then agreed to pay Gilchrist County $13,538.17 annually for fire service to the Town of Bell. At this time it would cost the Town of Bell much more than this for them to provide fire sern ice in the cotnmunty The Bell Town Council meets the first Thursday of every month in the Bell Town Hall. The meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and the public is al- ways welcome.

School Board, District One. By announcing earl), those poten- tial candidates will have time to formulate their campaigns and develop strategies for election to this important office.

Sincerely, Gary E. Rexroat City Of Trenton Takes First Step To Install Digital Water Meters In Most Needed Areas By John M. Ayers The Trenton 'City, Commission took action Monday evening to purchase 100 digital water meters for replacement of the oldest meters in the municipality. Commissioner Glen Thigpen made a motion to purchase 100 of the digital water meters from Hughes Supply at the price submitted in the bid. The purchase was based on the usability of the new digital meter that is completely enclosed in the meter box. Commissioner Arlene Wilks gave a second to the motion before the board voted 5-0 in favor of the purchase. Commissioner Clifton asked the City Manager where would the funds come from to pay for these new meters. "At this time the City of Trenton would have to borrow the money to purchase the meters," Jered Ottenwess, Trenton City Manager explained. Commissioner Thigpen , made a motion.to allow the City Manager to contact lending agencies to review and determine what is the lowest interest rate available to the City of Trenton for this program. Commissioner Tim Kinsey gave a second to the motion before the board voted 5-0 in favor of the motion. The estimated cost of this entire project is $33,000. A spokesman representing Hughes Supply Company, which was in attendance in the Monday evening meeting, reported that the software and the hand held digital reader used to read the new meters would cost an additional $16,000 above the $16,500 actual meter cost. City Manager Ottenwess told the board that the City of Trenton had 13 of the older water meters that were being used by commercial and residential customers that were selected at random for testing. The City Maintenance staff replaced these meters before Jered Ottenwess became City Manager and had these meters tested to determine the accuracy for the study. Of the 13 meters tested, 4 leaked too bad to be tested and the remaining 9 failed the test that identified the (Continued to Page Sixteen) Rick Weder Is Character Council's Personality Of The Month Robert Vaughan of Trenton was installed on Saturday, January 7, 2006 as the Worshipful Master of the William T.

He is a ?;good shot with his rifle and really enjoys going to the 'woods. He has recently experienced seeing many .turkeys, hogs, doe deer and two young spike horn bucks sparring 'in the woods.

It reminded me of time spent rambling around Georgia with my mother. My mother and I have spent a lot of time making short trips around the South, mainly in the state of Georgia. It doesn't take much for me to whip out my frazzled atlas and plan up a trip. Momma has always been as ready to plunder around small country towns, dig through boxes of once loved, now abandoned linens in antique stores.as I have. She can even be swayed to stop 'at most every quilting store I find along the way. Anyway, at Christmas I received a copy of The Blue Willow Inn Cookbook, by Jane and Michael Stern. When I unwrapped the book I -was pleased because I hae eaten at the Blue Willo% se' eral times and always enjoyed it. My friend, Donna Leggett, first told me to eat at the Blue Willow located. in Social Circle, Georgia se\ eral years ago. Well, right off, the name Social Circle attracted my attention. On our ne\t trip to Dillard, Georgia we- drove a little out of our way to- eat at the Inn and really enjoy ed dinner (noon meal) there. The Blue Willo\w is located in the old neoclassical styled Upshaw Mansion, whichh was built in 1916.

I However, a couple of words of caution are in order here. Specifically, the P/E ratio is, high by most any measure and this is a relatively new compa- ny with a minimal track record.

Speaking of Gone With the Wind, the movie and the Blue Willow may actually have a connection. According to the authors of the cookbook, long before Margaret Mitchell wrote her famous book Gone With The Wind, she stayed at the Upshaw's antebellum Southern mansion. It seems she dated and later married the Upshaw's cousin Redd Upshaw. According to those who knew Redd, he may have inspired the character of Rhett Butler in, the 1936 novel. Apparently ol' Redd was quite a character, not only was he very handsome, but he was quite a ladies' man. I 'do believe if my grandmother had known Redd she would have referred to him as a Grand' Rascal. Ms. Mitchell'% and Mr. Upshaw's union onl lasted a short time. At the time she stayed in a small guest cottage near the mansion. She was a little know n reporter w working at the Atlanta Journal. Some even believe the Upshaw Mansion was the inspiration for Scarlett's belo% ed Tara. Louis and Billie Van.Dyke, who are Sa annah nati% es, stepped off in the restaurant business in 1985. They opened the Blue Willow in 1991. Since that time people have. been traveling to their restaurant to eat and enjoy the, gracious Southern hospitality that the restaurant has to offer. Mr. Van Dyke stressed how important good quality food products are to the success of any recipe. He uses only the best ingredients at home and in their restaurant kitchen. He recommends such name brand items as Kraft cheese, Eagle Brand condensed milk and Philadelphia cream cheese. He also said people should buy14ihUbesS- 'possible !cuts of meat they can afford. The restaurant's name, Blue Willow Inn came from the Blue Willow china the Van Dyke's have collected since .the 70s. Mr. Van Dyke said the late beloved Mrs. Wilks inspired him to one day own his own restaurant. Mr. Van Dyke spoke of eating at the Wilks' Boarding House in Savannah since the 60s when he was in college there. At the close of our conversation Mr. Van Dyke told me, that he and his wife are doing what few people are able to do, live 'their dream of owning and running a renowned restaurant. I'm guessing the fact that they love what they do plays a big part in making their meals so good and their restaurant so successful. I've included a couple of recipes that are served on the huge buffet at the restaurant. If ' THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 2006 picked up' many recipes throughout his 20 year career in the food business .and has several favorites including the recipe for Savannah Red Rice that follows. 4 cups rice 6 slices bacon 1 medium onion, chopped 1 small bell pepper, chopped 1 28-ounce can tomatoes, mashed with a fork . 1 14-ounce jar ketchup 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon salt Dash of black pepper Tabasco Cook and drain the rice.

A Letter To The Editor For discussion at a Planning and Zoning Board meeting on December 8th was a Special Exception being requested by a property owner to allow dump trucks to be parked on his property for business purposes. Zoning recommended that the exception be granted if the owner planted trees to shield the property from the neighborhood, and that the owner could work (Continued to Page Sixteen) The Sin Of Jesting (Kent Heaton) "Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children: And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himselffor us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks" (Ephesians 5:1-4). Paul exhorts the Christian to be a follower of God in accordance with the relationship of the child and the Heavenly Father. There are certain things that are not fitting for the child of God to engage in and are not appropriate or fitting for the character of purity. Noted in the text are such sins as fornication, uncleanness, covetousness and certain areas of speech that are not fitting for Christians: filthy speech, foolish talking and jesting are shown to be ill-fitting for the character of God's children. Jesting is language that has doubtful morality to its content. The use of words and suggestions that tease the mind with suggestions of sinful activity are condemned by the Lord. Often language is couched in terms of double meaning that can be taken two ways one innocent and harmless and one deadly and sinful. Jesting is a means of invitation without commitment. Vincent's word studies suggest jesting as "polished and witty speech as the instrument of sin; refinement and versatility without the flavor of Christian grace." Jesting is found in a devious question that suggests an action of sin in a cunning joke. There is room for levity or humor but underneath is a secret desire of sin. Our speech comes from our hearts. "Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by its fruit. Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof, in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" (Matthew 12:33-37). Coarse jesting comes from a heart that is uncouth by its nature and is seeking sinful company. The words we speak will be with us in judgment. Idle words are those expressions of the heart that seek for sinful pleasure without the .obligation of action. Dirty jokes, foolish talking and cursing will be "played back" for us before God - and we may stand condemned because of it. We will be justified by our words and we will be condemned by our words. Paul admonishes you and me to put far away from us that type of speech that is funny to the world but not funny to the Lord. Our measure of righteousness is how close our speech is to the Lord and not how far we are from the world. The morality of the world is filled with jesting and filthy language. Children of God must stand apart from that kind of speech. "Let it not be once named among you, as it fitting for saints" (Ephesians 5:3). "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one" (Colossians 4:6). "The tongue of the wise utters knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools pours out folly" (Proverbs 15:2). Do not be a fool be wise in speech! Gilchrist Remembers When... CJ0s04sKaI*NsG -... ., .

We are growing, getting more books .and hav- ing new patrons registering for library cards. This is our tenth year of serving the Bell commu- nity and the citizens of the north- ern part of Gilchrist County. We are truhl outgrowing our space. Just this week, someone asked how a patron could help Bell Library be more success- ful.. First, the Volunteers of the' Library have established a building fund at Capital City Bank., Donations, .which are .tax deductible, will be 'used to increase our space to. accom- modate our patrons. Donations canr be given by either visiting the library, depositing it directly , through bank, or by mailing it to Bell Library, P.O. Box 995, Bell, FL 32619. A Secondly, additional volun-' teers are alx\vzias needed at the Library. If you ha% e a few hours you can spare weekly, come join the dedicated staff serving the community. Remember, men can % volunteer in the library also. This week I read a novel written by Linda Lail Miller in- volving a rancher .,ho befriends a young mother and her seven-, year-old t%\ in daughters. During a winter snow storm, she, along with her daughters, arri-ve at the Last Chance Cafe on foot. Al- though she is given a job at the, caf6, her past remains a mystery. Read Last Chance Cafe to learn her past and her'fate. !

At times we give to other people and causes, always making the best use of our time, talent, and resources. The key though is not to expect anything in return for our investment. GENEROSITY is "realizing that I am a trustee of all I have and using everything for the best purposes." Stihiginess is . the opposite of GENEROSITY. GENEROSITY is the quality. of being generous; liberality or willingness in giving; unselfish- ness; freedom from meanness or . smallness of mind or character; nobility of thought or behavior; abundance. The English word GENEROS- ITY comes from the Latin word generous, meaning "of good or noble birth." What makes one birth "noble" while another is "less" noble? The fact is every person is boin empty-handed and totally helpless.- :It is only because of the preparations and investments of others that a: child has opportunities to grow and develop. GENEROSITY is realizing that everything one has is di- rectly or indirectly the result of others' labors.! Even the op- portunity to work is the result of others having established a company or created a market. The more clearly people see how others are responsible for their opportunities, the more they will recognize theft impor- tance of investing in the lives of others and continuing the cycle of GENEROSITY. Demofistrating 'GENEROS- ITY involves an investment in other people or causes. A per-. son must give without. hidden motives or purposes. GENER-. OSITY must be totally sincere. Freely giving and sharing with others requires a dramatic change in thinking from the Open Mon. Fri. 710 East Highway 26 popular mentality of "me first!: It is a natural tendency to be concerned primarily for one's own needs. A generous person, however, is concerned with the needs of others. At times, GEN- EROSITY requires sacrificing personal desires, preference, or needs for the benefit and wellbe- ing of others. Every society has those who are less fortunate than others. Some people lack even the necessary provisions to survive." A generous person is willing to share what he or she has in order to benefit those in need. In real- ity, many people falsely believe they have too little to share with others. A person's perspective has a lot to do with his or her GENEROSITY. A generous person doesn't look for ways to accumulate wealth or posses- sions, but how to use them for the best purposes. GENEROSITY applies to much more than money. Time is a valuable resource that can, be invested in others. Energy can be used to help people with practical needs. A generous per- son is respected as someone who, values other people's needs as important. Throughout life everyone has a time x hen the help of others is needed. GENEROSITY is real- izing that everything one has is.. from others and cheerfully shar- ing with others. People must learn the value of GENEROS- ITY at a young age. It is \ery important 'to encourage contin- ued development and to build GENEROSITY with praise., It is hoped that readers of this article; have received a deeper understanding of the quality of GENEROSITY, for it is true that "it is far greater to give than to receive." If there is one word which describes the majority of Gilchrist. County citizens it is GENEROSITY. for being gener- ous proes daily that our County "is a, County of Character be- cause it's a County that cares." B&J AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR Located 30 Miles West of Gainesville, in Trenton Bell Pre-K Has Christmas Program Christmas Program It was beginning to really feel like Christmas at Bell Elemen- tary School on December 8. The pre-k class took a little break from their new curriculum, Opening the World of Learn- ing, to have some Christmas fun. They. worked very hard on a program to present to their parents.and families. Each class did their own, presentations of Christmas songs, fingerplays,. and chants, ending witch every-' one participating insome songs together. They did such a great . job! The grand finale w\as a visit from Santa. The children also received their own collector's copy of The Nightl Before Christ- mas. ' We would like to thank all the parents and family members for coming out to support the hard work of all the pre-k children and teachers. We would also like to thank everyone who supported the Superintendent' Gala. Some of the funding from this event helped us present the books to the children that we hope will become a part of every Christmas in their future. Woodland Craft Signs o 207, N.

Remember how e eri',one Was 'talking about the event and 'ho\ excited we all were to be a part?' We were also a little anxious since it was our'first time putting on something of this caliber. We are EXCITED to inform Syou, the public, what the total Funds, after expenses, were and how the funds were used in the Pre-kindergarten through third 1 grade classrooms. t The proceeds from this event 0 permitted 74 Pre-kindergarten through third grade classrooms to purchase literacy materials such as books for, classroom libraries, classroom sets of d novels, as well as books and s materials for literacy, centers. 1 Even our youngest Pre- kindergarten students were given d personal copies of "The Night 1 Before Christmas" so they could add to their home libraries and 9 begin their journey to becoming n successful, independent readers. Yes, you read that correctly 74 classrooms! With your help and support the event cleared $10,600! The District has begun making plans to provide the same support for grades fourth through eighth with an event filled with music and food on Saturday, February 11th, at Bell High School.

Thomas, Inc./Diamond 99. It was syrup making time for our family and we were so excited to have so many Lil' Farmers in attendance 'to watch. After a huge breakfast cooked over an open flame that included fresh cane syrup, the Lil' Farmers were allowed to ride horses and watch the entire process of syrup making Rumor has it that they even played in the hay a bit, but don't tell Grandpa or Uncle Dan. Uncle John taught everyone a thing or two about his secrets for making yummy cane syrup. Un- cle Loyd was on hand to give his expert approval, after all, he is, the one who taught Uncle John. My daddy wanted me to thank all the other dads and moms who pitched in to help with breakfast: Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Thomas, Mr. Doug Crawford, Mr. Terry Parrish and my Granddaddy. McMillan. A special thank you to Mrs. Sanchez and Mrs. Colson for making 4-H so fun. God Bless. Respectfully Submitted, Raychel.

Building Home Equity - Based on history in our area, one of the surest ways' to increase financial security is to buy real estate. Why? The answer is simple equity. - Equity is the difference between what you owe on your home, and what your home is worth. If the balance on your mortgage is $50,000, and you could sell your home for $150,000 then your equity is $100,000. . - In our market, property has, been appreciating at a high rate, especially the land. Sometimes when customers call me to sell their property, they are surprised as to the actual value of their home in today's market. Just over a year ago, land was around 3-5 thousand dollars an acre. Today it is rare to see land for $10,000 an acre. - You do not have to sell your property to take advantage of the equity you have built. Many mortgage companies have loans available to take the equity out of your home in the form of a loan. These programs vary from lender to lender, usually they do have lower, interest rates than car loans, or credit cards. - There are other advantages as well to owning your own home. Visit my website, www.willgillespie.net or call my cell phone to see what your equity may be. Substitute Teachers High School Diploma or Equivalent.

City Of Trenton Takes Action To Purchase Digital Water Meters To Improve Service (Continued from Page One) meters were accurate enough to be used for actual water metering. Ken Corbin, Certified Water and Sewer Treatment Plant operator for the City of Trenton, explained that some of the, meters in Trenton are 18 years old. Jered Ottenwess explained- that the study by. the City of Trenton. determined. that some of the water meters being used were inaccurate by as much as 16% of the indicated reading. The City Manager explained that water meters are designed to be replaced' or upgraded every 10 years. The City of Trenton has an estimated 750 water meters being used by residential and commercial customers in the four 'quadrants -of the municipality. The. City Manager further explained that the City of Trenton would receive enough revenue from the new meters to go along with the new connect fees to pay for the new meters in a short period of time. The City Manager explained that at this time the City of Trenton has approximately $6,000 in an account that is identified to be used for water service needs. William T.

Rick Weder Is Character Council's Personality Of The Month For January (Continued from Page One) Weder is a widower, the father of one son and three daughters. and the grandfather to 16. He is presently one of the directors of the Senior Citizens Food Pantry as well as on the board of the lo- cal Salvation Army Unit. As the interview with Mr. Weder began, and in his back office of the food pantry ware- house, I was greeted by "Black Beauty," the cat, better known as "B.B." 'She is queen and mascot of, her- domain.. She chases all the other cats away and on occasions brings Rick Gifts -of mice and other critters. She comes and goes at will and- certainly does know w ho likes or dislikes cats. For those who are cat friendly, she purrs; for those who aren't. she hisses. She is a good "watch cat," for sure. The character quality featured this month is GENEROSITY. Since 1999, when the Waccasas- sa Volunteer Fire Department began a county-\wide endeavor in "fighting fires of hunger," Mr. Weder has proved himself very generous in the time he has given toward the purpose. He spends over 3,000 minutes on the telephone each month,, as well as the hours it takes to pick up food from the Bread from the Mighty Food Bank in Gainesville. He also dem- onstrates GENEROSITY of time in being at the warehouse for senior citizens who wish to come by and pick up a. box of food, just for the asking. (The actual food pantry warehouse is leased from the City of Tren- ton). Mr. Weder is the first to admit that the food pantry is. not his; it is a consolidated effort of the Waccasassa Volunteer Fire Department Board and other concerned Gilchrist Count\ cit- izens. He desires that more and more people will get in olled to help the senior citizens of 'the county'. especially since those who are on the U.S. Gov- ernment's supplemental 'food program usually receive only, a pittance (usually $72-$86 a month) for food. All kinds of' staples are provided, as well as paper products and frozen fish. red meat and chicken. Rick Weder believes that showing GENEROSITY to others in one's life is a way to give back to the local com- '04 Chevy Impala Kelley Blue Book Avg.

RHC 7TCIUWNr7Y AND W SUOUNDG AREArl I I I munity in productive ways. He believes that "everyone has a role in the community in try- ing to make things better." He says, "Exhibiting GENEROS- ITY is a way to leave a good mark." Rick understands how important it is to be "sensitive to others' needs." He looks at it this way, "If you can help, help. If you can't help, then find someone who can. There's no such.word as can't," when people are in need. "Deal with situations as you can." This sensitive man learned the character quality of GEN- EROSITY from his father. Rick is one of eight .children; he has seven brothers. His fa- ther died when he was a youth, but the character quality of GENEROSITY illustrated in his, father's life has proven to be a mainstay with Rick. Mr. Weder also finds great joy in working with teens. There are some who have. done community service work through the food pantry and he- has taught them the great plea-' sure derived from working with senior citizens. He feels that since the love he has gained from living in Gilchrist County is precious to him, this is where he antss to live for the rest of his life. He desires to have that love, that GENEROSITY, be continually spilled over.from his life into the lives of others. Since there are so many se- nior citizens in need in Gilchrist County, Mr. Weder desires that more people of the area will get involved with the food pantry. He accepts donations, not only of money, but also of used of fixable appliances, vehicles and such that can be repaired and sold to add tQ the food pantry fund. He must purchase the food from the food bank so he has used many outlets in raising money for the cause. For a do- nation and eter) first Saturday of the month, the fire depart- ment sponsors a breakfast/.ard sale held from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. at the Trenton Com- munity Center. If you are a senior citizen and are in need of food, please call Rick at 463-27 10 and schedule to pick up a box. He is will- ing to assist you seven days a week. The warehouse hours are usually 10:00 a:m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, but he desires to assist even on Saturday and Sundays. Call fist before' coming. Rick Weder is another great citizen of our community who is proving each day that we live in "a County of Character because this is a County that cares." Letter to the Editor, (Continued from Page Two) Monday-Saturday beginning at 5:30 a.m. Neighbors spoke against the exception for these reasons: declining property values, deterioration of roads, dust, traffic, pollution from gas and oil, fuel storage on the property, and loud noise (the rumbling operation of the trucks, their. backup "beeping," and slamming tailgates). For the property owner, a lady said that there were nice' houses on either side of the business, but the rest of the properties were !'just trailers," and another man said the dump trucks improve the limerbck roads by driving on them. The Gilchrist County Land SDevelopment regulations (Section 12.2.1.3) state that the Board grants special exceptions that "promote the public health, safety, morals, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, prosperity, or the general welfare." Further attention is paid to "the economic, noise, glare, or odor effects of the special exception on adjoining properties...," and that considerations are given to "general compatibility with adjacent properties...." Also, the exception is to conform to the County Comprehensive Plan, which considers "the existing land use pattern," and "the impact of the proposed use" (the neighborhood, property values, traffic, etc.). The dump truck property is in a subdivision surrounded by small residential lots. The trucks come and go as the jobs demand. And, there's not a driver out there, who, when a dump truck is in front of him, says "oh joy, I get to follow a dump truck," or "lbok how that heavy truck is improving the road." How is this "compatible" with properties? How improve property or promote the business adjacent will it values, "comfort, appearance, or general welfare" of the neighborhood? Did the Board actually weigh the Land Development regulations and the Comprehensive Plan against this request? Most of the neighbors live in trailers, but they pay taxes and deserve a decent neighborhood as good as they can make it. They voiced their concerns, but their concerns fell on deaf ears. Is this the best that Planning and Zoning can'do for Gilchrist County citizens?
