The Florida' Department of
Law Enforcement was
contacted to, conduct the
investigation of the crime scene
at the residence, reported Chief
Smith. FDLE,. Trenton Police
Department and the Gilchrist
County Sheriffs Office are
actively .involved in the
investigation ofthis homicide.
Chief Smith explained that
FDLE is conducting the

complete laboratory
examination of the crime scene..
Chief, Smith explained that
w within 30 minutes of the law
enforcement officers
determination 'of how Mrs.
Frazier had been killed, the
rumors of the cause of death
were already on the streets in


the Northwest community.
"There were only three people
that were reportedly' aware of
how.:Mrs. Frazier had been
killed and they 'were the
Sheriffs deputy, myself and the
killer,"..Chief Smith explained.
"I feel.confident that when the

Sons Of The Confederate Veterans Hold Annual Lee/Jackson

Dinner


By Anna Wild
On Saturday, January 14,
2006 members from ten
Florida camps of the Sons of
Confederate Veterans met at
the Alachua Woman's Club for
the second annual Lee/Jackson
Dinner. The evening was hosted
by the John Hance O'Steen
'Camp 770 of Gilchrist County,
Dixie Defenders Camp 2086 of
Fanning Springs, and Madison
Starke Perry Camp 1424.
Approximately 160 members
and guests were present to share
dinner, fellowship and their
heritage.
Present at the dinner were
special guest speakers General
Tom Jessee, representing
General Lee; Emery Thrift,
representing General Jackson;
and Hal Merritt, representing
General Merritt of the Union
Army. After dinner these three
Generals spoke to the guests
about their lives during the Civil
War. General Merritt spoke of
how it felt to be a Union General
coming up against General Lee
and Jackson. Hal Merritt, as


General Merritt, explained the
admiration felt when finding his
opponent was one of the great
leaders General Robert E. Lee
or General "Stonewall" Jackson
and it was an honor to fight
against them. General Tom
Jessee as General Robert E. Lee
shared some moments of his life
with the group.
General Lee came from a
poor family and went into the
Army to receive his education.
He graduated with high honors
(2nd in his class without any
demerits). In 1846 he went to
fight in the War with Mexico
where he received much of his
fighting experience. He was
awarded the honorary title of
Brevet Colonel for his gallantry
during that war. Later the
President asked him to go to
Harpers Ferry to suppress John
Brown and his rebellion. Later
he would resign his commission
to fight in the Civil War for the
Confederate Army.
Emory Thrift, as General
"Stonewall" Jackson, explained
many similar events in his life


including a difficult childhood
but still he went on to graduate
from West Point. He also
served in the War with Mexico
and was also called to Harpers
Ferry to control the rebellion.
He went on to be one of the
most recognized Generals to
lead in the Civil War until he
was mortally wounded during
a maneuver at Chancellorsville
where he had to have his left
arm amputated and died eight
days later of pneumonia.
Special Guest Speaker
Commander Jack Bridwell
of the Army of Tennessee
commended the three on their
job representing their respective
Generals. He impressed upon
the group the importance of
one's heritage and the need
to pass on the knowledge arid
the truth about your heritage.
One of the largest threats to the
Sons of Confederate Veterans
are individuals who wish to
wipe away all of the heritage
and remembrances of the Civil
(Continued to Page Sixteen)

two great Civil War Generals. From left are Doug Dawson, Florida Division Commi
Commander Jack Bridwell, Army of Tennessee; Host Commander Clement Lindsey of th

On Monday I had the
pleasure of accompanying Capt.
Gary (Possum) Tryon and Billy
Cannon aboard the captain's
airboat as we fished out from
Shired Island in Dixie County.
This trip took us into the
bays and creeks of Dixie
County coastline between
Fishbone Creek and Horseshoe
Beach. This is an area that
provides not only good fishing
but a scenic opportunity for
folks that love to get into the
outdoors.
We had the inside track on
catching fish in this area as we
were on an airboat fishing with
a guy that not only knew the
waters, but also knew where the
best places were 'to catch the
redfish,, sheepshead, speckled
trout and of course mullet.
After this group went with.
me offshore some time ago,
these two guys have been after

admit that riding on the airboat
was a rush and fishing with
these two guys was a non-stop

morning, the tide was low and

A number of readers have
written in to ask about General
Motors, with the idea of buying
the' shares as either a contrarian
investment, or to take advantage
of the current 9 percent dividend
yield. I would advise extreme
caution before making such a
move.
To. be more specific, you
have to wonder what tea leaves
GM is reading. For example,
at the recent North American.
International Auto Show, GM
Displayed the concept for a new
Chevrolet Camaro muscle car.
The company has spent seven
months developing the 400-
horsepower vehicle in an effort
to challenge Ford's Mustang.
With the country's attention
riveted on oil and gasoline
prices, fuel efficient hybrids are
in heavy demand. Furthermore.
my research indicates \ou can
look forward to $70 per barrel.
for. crude, with the associated
increase in gasoline prices, by
mid-\ear. Meanwhile, GM, is
spending precious research
'dollars on 400 horsepower
muscle cars.
Dividends are" designed
to \return a portion of a
company's profits back to its
shareholders. Companies that
are hemorrhaging red ink should:


sheepshead bent his rod over
into the r-position that he was
unable to get the hardest pull of
tle' day into the boat. Billy
probably caught more fish than
anyone else on this trip, and he
continued-to remind Possum
and myself of his superior fish
catching ability. On the other
hand; there was our Captain'that
almost everytime he would get a
true'ri-'d'elding experience, he
would call for the net, I.have.yet
to recall Billy or myself
reaching to the far side of the
boat to get the net and place it in
the water. Possum also caught
some good fish during the day
and guided us to a very
enjoyable trip.
I was aboard on this trip due
to my desire to catch a mullet in
my cast net. It has. been years
since I haVe stood on the front
of an airboat with my hands full
of cast net waiting to'see a whirl

On Saturday my mother and I
made a trip to Moultrie, Georgia
to pick up a few pounds of
sausage. Actually I bought a
few other items including
several slabs of rids, and some
link sausage, along with stuffed
pork chops for our son J. and
daughter-in-law Lyndsay. You
might be wondering why in the
world I would drive to Georgia
instead of buying meat here.
Fact is I mostly shop at,
Hitchcock's, buying Gilchrist
Sausage and any other meat
John and I eat. But a couple


not be paying dividends; .and
GM lost nearly $5 billion on its
core North American automotive
operations in the first three
quarters of 2005.
If GM 'cut its dividend
by 50 percent it \would add
approximately $566 million
a. year to the bottom. line. So
wh\ is GM. paving such a
high dividend? The company
is worried that a dividend cut
.would put tremendous selling
pressure on the stock, driving
its price e\en lower. Yet, a lower
price today might help ensure a
higher price tomorrow.
Wall Street is bailing out of
a stock that, while e\pensi\e
from:,a price-to-earnings iP/E I
perspective, still sho\s some
excellent promise. Genentech
recently announced annual 2005
,.GAAP earnings of $1.18 per
share, a 62 percent increase over
earnings of 73 cents per share in
2004.
Total product .sales 'were
$5,488.1 million, a 46 percent
increase over product sales of
$3,748.9 million in 2004, while
sales of Avastin increased 108
percent to $1,132.9 million from
$544.6 million inr 2004. Fourth
quarter Avastin; sales increased
89 percent to $359.1 million
from $190.5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2004 ;.. ;, .,'
But ,\ jll Street s. focu,.s was
on Avastin's fourth quarter
sales, which were about $10
to $20 million short of Street
expectations. That amounts to an


of a fish in the shallows, but I
was -excited about the
opportunity to again do so. At
first .:I was hesitant about
trusting the Captain by standing
t on the front of his boat, but as
I time went by, I became more
Comfortable with his driving
and felt he knew where the fish
were.
This fishing trip was a true
experience of fishing and
having a good time. As we
caught fish during the day, I
was surprised to see the number
of single-person kayaks out
around the mouth of the bay
leading into the creeks. There
were three guys paddling
around in their single person
boats. I couldn't tell if these
guys were catching any fish, but
as the day passed by, we got a
laugh as we watched these guys
paddle up and down creeks
trying to find their way :to a
beach where they: could land
their boats. They finally came
by our boat close enough to ask
which way is Fishbone Landing.
Possum gave them proper
directions and we saw them
walking back to the, Shired
Island ramp site as we were
driving down the road headed
home later that afternoon.
I can't imagine the
experience 'one would have in
paddling one of these boats
around the saltwater marshes
and out into the Gulf of Mexico.
I can see paddling up and down
a creek and staying near the
landing, but getting out and not
being able to get back is beyond
my understanding.
Having a day to enjoy the
outdoors with friends is not only
a pleasure, but a trip down
memory lane.


Streetwise


error rate too small to calculate.
While the medical jargon
revol% ing around Genentech
,,may. riesmble ancient Greek.
rthe resulting numbers, do not.
For. Its 2006 fiscal year, I am
forecasting GAAP earnings for
Genentech of $1.71 per share,
or an earnings growth rate of 45
percent. But:will it be enough to
maintain Genentech's lofty P/E
ratio of 75.
Even if the P/E ratio should
fall to 55, a. dop of 27 percent,
you would still have a $94
stock for a 6 percent price gain,
assuming my earnings estimate
is correct. However, with a 45
percent earnings growth rate,
a drop of that magnitude is, in
my opinion, unlikely. However,
you would want to wait until
the Street gets over its selling
frenzy before considering an
investment.

Imagine receiving a letter from someone that you
did not know as they briefly describe who they are
and why they have written to you. Responding to the
letter, a correspondence begins that carries over a
lifetime. Through these letters, a bond grows that
over the miles of separation builds trust, faith /and
love in the one who sent the letter. It will be many
years before the time comes when'you will actually
meet the person face to face. The day arrives. You.
Stake a flight to their home far away. As you make the
journey, your mind races with the anticipation and joy
of finally seeing the person you have come to love
and adore face to face.
Departing the plane, you find yourself in a sea of
people thronging about you. In the crowd, a face
stands out that you recognize as your friend. You
have never met them, seen a picture of them or talked
with them on the phone. Yet there is no doubt who
they are. They look just as you have imagined.
Through the pages .of time written upon the years of
correspondence, you know without a doubt who your
friend is. You embrace. Everything you have learned
about that person is true. All you have shared is
complete. Your bond is everlasting.
This story is not improbable as many have met
over lines of correspondence, fell in love or
established years of friendship. Our relationship with
the Father and the Son is the same way. We have
never met God, seen Him or talked with Him. This is
also true of Jesus Christ. Peter writes: "Whom
having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye

have not seen? We, spend time communing with
them!
The great joy and blessing of being a child of God
is spending time listening'to the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit and talking to them. Jehovah has revealed His
mind to man through the written word and as often as
we spend time meditating upon its truths and
precepts, we gain a greater knowledge of Him. Found
in the pages of divine writ are the characteristics of
the Heavenly Father. We see His love, His mercy, His
grace, His justice, His severity we see the total
image of the Father through His word. What is so
wonderful about meditating on the word of God is
how clear the Father becomes in our mind.
How can we know the personality of Jesus Christ
without knowing who He is, why He is, what He is
and every part of Him embedded in our lives? Paul
expressed the desire to "know Him, and the power of
His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being made conformable unto His death" (Philippians
3:10). This knowledge was a complete understanding
of Jesus Christ. When Paul faced death (2 Timothy 4)
he was not afraid. He was finally going home to see
his friend that he had loved for so many years and yet
not seen. Such is the character of those who diligently
seek to know the life of Christ in their lives.
A figure is given of eternal life that when we stand
before God in judgment, are we going to be strangers
to the Father or children who have drawn close to
Him? Will God ask strangers to live in His home? No
- "Well done, good and faithful servants" is
reserved for those who are familiar with the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. How well do you know the
Father and how well does He know you?

,tried \el.
Ashley told me that the
original store, on High%\a\ 300
.near Cordele, will be double the
current size once their new
building is complete. The
Highway 300 Stripling's store
has. all sorts of items including
all kinds of seasonings, salad
dressings, jellies, barbecue
sauces, and.jams and I'm not
'sure "hat all else, but the\ ha\e
a huge line of. other special food
items. One of the Stripling's top
sellers is their beef jerk\ which
has a little kick, it could be the
amount of black pepper they
add.
I know it sounds kinda foolish
for me to drive a couple hours
just to buy sausage. To tell you
the truth their sausage reminds
me so much of the sausage my
late father made that I can't
resist making the drive
occasionally. You know how it
goes, you can take the girl off
the farm but you can't take the
farm out of the girl.
Last summer the folks at
Stripling's opened, a store in
Moultrie, which is about an
'hour or so- closer to us than
Cordele. I have to admit the
original store: at Cordele on
High%\aN 300 is a little more fun
to visit because they have a
huge number of specialty. food
items. If it's ,sausage you're
after the store in Moultrie is the
one for you, because it the
closest.
The web site for Stripling's
General Store is
www.striplings.com, their
location in Moultrie is 1401
West Blvd. and the hours are
9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday
through Saturday. If you wish tc
call, their phone number is
(229) 985-4226.
The store slogan is,
Stripling's General Store. "You
.never Sausage a Place."

The following recipe is for
sausage balls and it comes from
the Stripling's General Store.

From The
Shelves Of
Bell Library
Here is a question for our
beginning readers, "What is a
Fraggle?'" I don't know. I asked
Roselyn's grandmother and she
, said the books about Fraggles
Were Roselyn's favorites. When
, she visits the library again, I.
will have to ask her. Maybe I
will ask Brian, he is getting to
be a big boy and he reads a lot.
Maybe he can tell me. You' will
find the "Fraggle" books in the,
beginning reader's section at
Bell Library.
I read a junior b:ok, The
Fireball Mystery, written by,
Mark Adrain that is an intriguing
hovel about a brother and sister
whose father bought an island.
They are living on a houseboat
until he can build a house on'
the island. Do you think the)
are frightened when, on the first
night aboard the boat, they saw
a m serious light, like a ball of
fire on the uninhabited island?
Tutoring is being offered
J at the library. after school for
students needing help with
Assignments, etc. If you know
'of an adult who cannot read,
we can help with this also. Two
members of the volunteer staff
S have taught reading in public,
school, as well as to adults.
The Friends of the L ibra, v are
truly friends of both libraries

dedicated to supporting the
programs and materials made

Well, we made it through an-
other year, thanks be to God. and
.I'm sure that we all made at leasl
one if not a dozen New Year's
resolutions. Come on..'fess up.
You know you did: Maybe you
didn't write them down. Maybe
Syou didn't say them out loud, bul
you made 'em. Somewhere in-
side your being you consciously
or unconsciously \owed to do
something different, something
new, something better. I,know
I did:and I'm sure that each of
the 23 Joyful:Hearts that met
together on Wednesday, Janu-
..
'.A"I ar\ 4th did also. Will we keep
them...well. maybe.
ztiet' Despite the cold, the colds.
the flu. and just plain after-the-
holidat tiredness. we managed
to be 'a pretty lively bunch.
There were lots of hugs, hellos.
and catching up to do before we
could settle down to \work on
projects already started and to
S make our calendar for the com-
ing year, 2006.
After all the cups Cathy Strom
made for us were filled with
steaming hot coffee or tea. Diana
,, Lynn led us through our calendar
one month at a time. We shared
ideas, opinions, and voted. \v.hen
all else failed Everyone had a
say on our meeting times and
acti cities. Diana \ill ha\e the
calendar printed up and % ill pass

ideas for our "Make It and Take

at collecting ideas and putting
them in notebooks She brought

of course the Queen Mother o

with the basting of a newest clut

We had two quilt frames given
to us and .several of the ladies
who are old hands at putting
these things together did just
that. So, now we can go back to
having more than one quilt in the

block of the month project for
those interested. So far Marvine
Deer, BarbaraMMyrick and Diana
have started theirs and it has en-
couraged me to give it a try even
though one of my resolutions
was to finish all the projects
started before starting a new one.
Oh well, what can I tell you...old
habits die hard.
Matty Turner was doing a'
great job on her embroidery-
work. It takes a lot of time
but the end result is worth it.
Maxine and Pat brought a guest
.with.them x hose name is Sam.
She is Pat's granddaughter and
That makes her Maxine's great-
grapddaughter. 'She was paint-
S ing a wooden horse and getting

Wilkerson, who was really not
Feeling well. was working on
t her afghan and the rest of us
just passed the time visiiing and
getting caught up on things since
Some of us had not seen each
other for several weeks.
Before .ou knew it we \ere
putting away our things and
t bringing out our lunches. EB-
"eln said grace and that was;
our signal to eat. We chatted
and ate and chatted some more.
After things were cleaned up we
left reminding one another that
our next meeting -\ould be on
NWednesda\. January 16th We
\dll celebrate our January birth-
days then, so Judy. E'elyn and
Elaine, iou better be there.
The other day I \ias reading
a small booklet gi\en to me by
sister Bonnie, The article \as
entitled. "Sound the Thank You
Notes" It made me really stop
and think. As children most of
us are taught to sa\ "thank \ou."
It is a \wa\ of ackno pledging a
gift that -was not ours to begin
w ith. .
It doesn't e'en have to be a.
material Gift. it can be a kind
word, a gesture of thoughtful-
S.ness, a ,ord of encouragement.
The gift can take man. forms
and we either thank the person
right then or %e send a thank ou
note. Especially at this time of
the year, after %e ha\e received
hso many gifts. we tend to say
thank you and send such notes to'
friends and loved ones.
But who is a better friend?
Who. loves us more than our
Heatenlt Father? Who gives
g us more gift'? Who gave us the
greatest gift \e can er er recei e.
His only begotten Son? Afl gifts
u are gifts from God. All we have
e to do is look around us every day
Sto see His wondrous gifts.
f This year T recei ed ananony-
mous gift. cardin the mail. It
Swas a gift of $100. don't know
f who or why someone would
Send such a generous gift to me
but I knovy it was a gift from
God. He laid it on someone's
heart and used them to do His
mighty works.. I gave thanks to
Him and prayed He would bless
this person as fully and e\en
more than He blesses me.
During this, season many
gifts have to be returned or ex-
changed. Our great gift, that of-
salvation, never does... It's one
size fits all. No matter how big
Sor small our sins, we are cov-
ered. Stop and think about it.
You may have already thanked,
in person, on the phone, or sent
a card to friends and loved ones.
What have you said or sent to
Him whose gift comes with a
life guarantee?
'Til next time.,
A Joyful Heart,

On January 9, 2006, the Blue
SSprings 4-H Club had their first
meeting of 2006 at the home
of Ronnie and Sandra Beach.
Our President, Chris Harding,
brought the meeting to order and
we started with the election of a
new secretary who is Breanna
Stalvey. After the election we
discussed old business.
We received a wonderful
"thank you" letter from Ayers
Rehabilitation Center for deco-
rating their Christmas trees. We
Shad a report from many members
who went to the Dudley Farm
Cane Grinding a few months
ago. Also we all signed a "thank
you" card we are sending to a
business in Gainesville for their
generous donation of wood and
paint that our club used to make
four leaf clover plaques to enter
in the Tallahassee Fair and hang
up at the Suwannee River Fair.
In our new business we dis-
cussed the' upcoming County
Events for January .28. We
talked. .about different things
we are going to do like, model-
ing, demonstrations, speeches,
photography, poster contest,
Cakes, creed contest, and even
comedy for Share-The-Fun.
Breanna Stalvey, last year's
County Events Creed contest
winner, stood up and recited the
* creed for the club as an example
on how to do it. Other members
stood up and practiced the 4-H.
Pledge; some, demonstrated
how to model; Dakota Hard-
ing demonstrated inappropriate
4-H attire and Savannah Harding
demonstrated proper 4-H attire.
We talked about attending Dud-
.ley Farm Plow Days on January
21st. Pig weigh-in is March llth
and record books are due June
1st.
Special thank you to Mr. Ron-
nie and Mrs. Sandra Beach for,
letting us hold our meeting in
their home.

TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY

INFORMATION
S This form answers some common questions taxpayers have concerning Tangible
Personal Property. In addition, it provides information that will help you file an accurate
and timely tax return.


Questions Most Frequently Asked About Tangible Personal Property


Q. What is Tangible Personal Properrn?
A. Tangible Personal Property is everything other than real
estate that has value by itself It would include things such as
furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, household appliances,
signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies, leased
equipment and any other equipment used in a business or to earn
income.
Q. Who must file?
A. Anyone in possession of assets on January 1 who has either
a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employed
agent or contractor, must file each year. Property owners who
lease, lend or rent property must also file.
Q. Why must I file a return?
A. Florida Statutes 193.052 requires that all tangible personal
property be reported each year to the Property Appraiser's
office: If you receive a return, it's because our office has
determined that you may have property to report. If you feel the
form is not applicable, return it with an explanation: Either way,
the form MUST be returned. Failure to receive a Personal
Property Tax Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your
obligation to file.
Q. How can I obtain this form?
A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible
Personal Property owners. If you do not get one, contact the
Property Appraiser's Office.
Q. What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file a
return?
A. Yes, if you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out
items 1 through 9 on the return, and attach an explanation of
why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and
rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies,
rented equipment or household goods.
Q. If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return?
A. Yes, if you were not in business on January 1 of the taxing
year, follow this procedure:
1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and
the manner in which you disposed of your business assets.
Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.
2) Sign and date the return.
3) Have your signature notarized.
4) Mail the return back to this office.
Q. What is an office or field review assessment?
A. When a tax return is not filed by April 1 we are required to
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.
Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year -
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
would 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.

Tangible Personal Property please contact:

Gilchrist County Property Appraiser

Trenton, Florida 32693
(352) 463-3190 1-800-219-3208

Q. What if I receive more than one tax return?
A. All returns must be sent back. If you have more than one
location, the assets of each should be listed separately on each return.
Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully depreciated and
written off the books?
A. Whether fully depreciated in your accounting records or not,
all property still in use or in your possession should be reported.
Q. Do I have to report assets that I lease,-loan, rent, borrow or are
provided in the rent?
A. Yes, there is an area on the return specifically for those assets.
Even though the assets are assessed to the owner, they must be listed for
informational purposes.
Q. Is there a minimum value that I do not have to report?
A. No, there is no minimum value. A tangible tax return must be
filed on all assets by April 1.
Q. IfI rent my furnished home or condo for a few months, do I have to
file a tangible personal property tax return?
A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature,
you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should
be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal
property included in the rental unit.
Q. Are there deadlines and penalties?
A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After April
1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at!5% per month
or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is required for
unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO RETURN IS
FILED.

Springhouse Quilters
News
The first meeting of 2006
for Springhouse Quilters was
held on Tuesday, January 10
with 47 members and guests
present. Anna Gilliam opened
the meeting with a welcome
and new years wishes to all
for a successful 2006 quilting
year. There were eight guests
in attendance with most of them
joining Springhouse: Quilters.
Visitors are always welcome at
be the meetings.
Gloria :Sutton, block-of-the-
m, month chairlady, presented a
zd sampleof the January block; a
"Pierced Star." .This block is
similar to the "Ohio Star" but
has- a ray of "light" piercing the.
upper right corner of the block.
Gloria challenges each member
to- make a. sample of each
month's:block and by the end
of the year a total of 12 blocks
would be finished. This would
be enough blocks to ,assemble
into a medium size quilt.
Stephanie Metts. owner of

Workshop., "Mett's Surprise." At
present, 25 members have signed
up to attend the workshop.

December 5th meeting. Quilt
ladies stay busy and al\ ays have
a project in progress. In fact,
most of us have more than one
project in progress at all times
and are just waiung to begin
another one. A new piece of
fabric or pattern is all a qullter
needs to start another quilt
project.

volunteers, did a great job in
preparing and hosting the 30-
minute social time prior to the:
meeting.

Mary Dubie, the winner of the BBQ in a Box.


Assembly Of Fine
Artists News
Winners were announced of
the raffle held during the wine
tasting event at the Assembly
of Fine Artists meeting held at
Dakota Winery in Chiefland on
December 15th. Mary Dubie
of Old Town won the BBQ in
a box. The winner of the door
Santa was won by an Emerson
College, Boston, Massachu-
setts student. His ticket was
purchased during the Winter
Festival held in Chiefland on
December 10th. The emerald
green and silver jewelry set used
in AFA fashion shows was won
by John Ritchie of Brandon The
purple irridescent Fenton Glass
vase was won by Anna Alstrom
of Fanning Springs. She was a-
last minute purchaser of a ticket.
Bob Rittgers shook and drew all
the winning tickets.
The meeting informed the
members that AFA was no longer
functioning as a non-profit orga-
nization, but rather as a social
club for two reasons. There is
another worthwhile organization
using the initials AFA, which
the directors felt would lead to
confusion; and I personally have
used too much of my own funds
and time to get this venture off
the ground.
We discussed getting a li-
brary and senior center into the
heaviest populated area of Dixie

costs, mail order options, and
\\ whether or not the 'donut hole'
is covered in each plan : Also,

least expensive plan ma\ not
necessarily' b the best plan in
the long run. We will b'ehappy
to go over the plan details with
you and answer any questions
you may have.

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.

Sons Of
Confederate Veterans
Hold Second Annual
Lee/Jackson Dinner
(Continued from Page One)
War. Commander Bridwell
asked that the members make
sure the truth about what they
stand for is being passed on to
others. He is fighting to keep
their right to fly the Confederate
Flag and have the Civil War
Memorials stand. He was
unhappy to report that there
are those in government who
are trying to have these things
removed permanently and they
could even have an impact on
gravesites. He impressed upon
the group the words "always
tell truth and know what you're
talking about." "The Civil War
was not about slavery, slavery
was going away" whether the
war happened or not. "The Civil
War was about money," and
there are a dot of people who do'
not know their history.
Doug Dawson, Florida
Division Commander, was also
present at the dinner. He asked
the members to spread the word
about the Sons of Confederate
Veterans and ask others to join.
He also asked the members to
have the strength and courage to
correct those who misrepresent
their group. The Sons of


oR *19900
Mo."


Confederate Veterans have
asked some individuals not to
renew their membership who
have not represented themselves
and the. group appropriately.
As for those who were under
the impression that this is an
all white group he reminds
them that their group has black
members including Mr. Nelson
Winbush whose grandfather
fought in the Civil War.
Commander Clement Lindsey
of the John Hance O'Steen
Camp 770 thanks his co-hosts
Commanders Fred Donaldson of
the Madison Starke Perry Camp
1424 and Joe Sparacino of the
Dixie Defenders Camp 2086
in Fanning Springs for their
support in putting on this second
annual dinner. He also wanted
to thank the many members for
joining them in fellowship and
remembrance. The Commanders
hope everyone will take the time
to remember their true history
and their heritage no matter what
the time.

Delegation Hearings in every
county to prepare us for the
S2006 Legislative Session that
will begin March 7th. Your,
locally elected officials,, county
administrators and many of
your neighbors all used the
opportunity to outline issues
they hope the Legislature can
address during the next session.
Senate and House committees
are now meeting to review
reports on projects started as a.
result of the 2005 Legislative
Session. Members are also
discussing proposed changes or
additions to Florida's statutes and
budget that %v ill be considered in
the: upcoming session, starting
on March 7, 2006. Committee
hearings began last fall and are
scheduled throughout January
and February in Tallahassee.
I anticipate that several topics
will be of statewide interest as
session begins. I expect there to
'be a continued focus on quality)
implementation of the Voluntary
Pre-Kindergarten program. In
light of the recent Supreme
Court.ruling, Legislators will
be reviewing Florida's eminent
domain laws and my concern
is'that we safeguard indis idual
property rights. Another issue
that will require thoughtful
action is the needed oversight.of
state contracts for services to be
sure state funds are well spent.
Finally, I expect discussion of the
Jessica Lunsford Act, to be sure
the law is working as intended-
and to address implementation
issues that arose. As a co-author,
I am most proud of the pro; ision
that requires a mandatory 25
year sentence for those who
molest children under the age
of 12.
Our North Florida interests do
not alhwa.s coincide %with those
of the more urban areas and I,
am fortunate to serve with other
Senators and Representatikes
who 'pride themselves on
working as a team to serve
all the rural counties in north,
central Florida. Ii always helps
me be a better advocate when
I hear from my constituents.
'While I may not always agree
with you or be able to take
immediate action on your ideas,
I do value lots of input. You
are welcome to write to me:
Senator Rod Smith, 4131 NW
28', Lane, Suite 4, Gaines\ ille.
Florida 32606. Or,.you can use
my email address: smith rod w e
b@leg.state.fl.us.
You may also call' my
office and talk to one of my
Legislati e Assistants, who will
let me know your concerns. My
Gainesville office number is
352-375-3555. If that is long-
distance, please use my toll-
free line at 1-866-778-2300.
It is my aim that. my office
is also a resource to you for
questions about how Florida's
government works or how to
get in touch with the right office
to solve a problem.
Finally, I want to remind you
that I serve as the Chair of the
Agriculture Committee, the
Vice-Chair forboth the Criminal
Justice and Criminal Justice
Appropriations Committees.

DeVore Retires From
Lower Suwannee
Refuge
Lower Suwannee National
Refuge engineering equipment
operator, W. Armegy DeVore,
recently retired in January
2006, after 18 years with U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service.' Mr.
DeVore leaves behind significant
positive impacts to the refuge
including years of high quality
maintenance to more than 100
miles of refuge roads. For many
of his years, he also protected
the refuge wildlife, habitat, and
visitors by serving as arefuge
law enforcement officer.
Before going to work for the
federal agency, DeVore worked
with various municipalities as
a heavy equipment operator
and served two years in the
United States Marine Corp in
the Eighth Engineer Battalion
Force Troops at Camp Lejuene,
North Carolina. At one time, he
owned his own land clearing and


excavating business.
He began working with U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service at the
Lower Suwannee in June 1989.
In the earliest years of the refuge,.
there were roads to be built,
boardwalks and fishing piers to
be constructed, nature trails to
be cut, and signs to be erected.
He always enjoyed the variety
the job provided. After 14 years
of hard work, DeVore is proud
the Lower Suwannee National
Wildlife Refuge has developed
into. an outstanding example of.
the Florida he remembers.
The Refuge received extensive
damage during the 2004
hurricane season; management
began looking for better
solutions to road restoration.
As an expert, 'DeVore was
assigned .the resurfacing of
miles of refuge roads with over
100 tons of gravel. He was
responsible for overseeing the
dumping, spreading and leveling
of the gravel using a Caterpillar
motor grader. This application of
gravel:on the roads will reduce
cost) road maintenance in the
future and ensure'safe passage
for %isitois and employees..
Being the primary heavy.
:equipment engineer for the past
1.6 years, DeVore's retirement
will- leave. a large vacancy at
the refuge one that will be
difficult to fill due to lis vast
kno\ ledge of all phases ofroad
construction and maintenance.
"Armegv leaves us %with
big shoes to fill in terms of
maintaining 'our roads,. and.
public use areas. His expertise
with a motor giader is not
commonly found within the
Fish and Wildlife Service" said
Refuge Manjger KathyWhaley.
S"We appreciate all of the work
Armeg. has accomplished at'
the Refuge and wish him the.
best in retirement" she said.
After a retirement party
with family and co-workers,
DeVore said, "I know I'll miss
the Lo'er Suw:annee Refuge,
the staff, and the work I have
been doing for many years,
but it's time to move to another'
phase of my life." He plans to
spend time fishing,. enjoying
his grandchildren and catching
up on the many projects he has
neglected through the years.
