The Gilchrist County
Commission stepped into a new
era on Tuesday, January 17,
when they took action on the
Preliminary Site Plan of the
Tyler Creek Business
Community before having the
property re-zoned for this
particular use. Commissioner
Mitchell Gentry reported that he
filed a conflict of interest
because he owned the property.
He stepped down as a
commissioner and had no
participation as a board member'
regarding this. request. Gentry
joined the group of professional
engineers and surveyors in
presenting the request to the
four-member board.
The Gilchrist County
Planner, Stacey Winfield
presented the Preliminary Site
Plan for approval to the board.
She explained that the property
is 13.65 acres and is currently
zoned Industrial and A-2. The
property involves 17 lots from
.41 acres to 1.13 acres, which
are all for industrial-commercial
uses..-She explained that an
industrial development requires
a site and development plan be
submitted and approved before
a business can locate on the
property. ,
The Gilchrist County Health
Department issued a letter
identifying setbacks of up to
100 feet for drain fields
regarding the septic tanks that
would be used possibly by each


explained that an evaluation
would be required on each
parcel at the time the property
owner is seeking a septic tank.
application.
The Planning Director
explained that the principal uses
of the Industrial Park include
warehousing and many other
uses but does not include single-
family residential dwellings.
She explained that there is a
cemetery located adjacent to the
southwest comer of the
property. The Industrial Park is
located in the southern portion
of the property.
A portion of the 18.34 acres
of property was previously
rezoned to Industrial.' The
Gilchrist Planning and Zoning
Board approved the rezoning of
8.34 acres of the property by a
3-2 vote. Zoning Board
member Alan Mikell voted
against the rezoning by
identifying that a portion of the
property contains wetlands.
Jonathan Kincaid voted against
the request because the
applicant did not agree to
establish a natural buffer
between the cemierir and the
business community.
Mrs. Winfield explained that
the staff recommended approval
of the proposed site plan with
the condition that the rezoning
of the parcel was approved by
the Gilchrist County
Commission.
Commissioner Randy
Durden asked why the property

to be. .submitted to the.
Department of Community
Affairs in Tallahassee. He
explained that the property in
question is larger than 10 acres
which is the minimum size of a
subdivision in Gilchrist County.
Mrs Winfield explained that the
property when it was rezoned
was considered as 8.34 acres.
She added that if the parcels
were rezoned w within 12-months
of one another, this would have
triggered the Small Scale
Amendment requirement,
Mitchell Gentry told the
board that water came on the
property during the 2004
storms. "We put new perimeters
on what level the water was at
that. time," Gentry explained
"To achieve this development, I
needed to expand it over an acre
that on the east end is a storm
water retention area."
Commissioner Durden asked
County Administrator Ron
McQueen what was the
standard that the board usually
considers regarding a. site plan-
re-zoning request?, "The
.tandard for the Board, of
County Commissioners
submission and approval
consideration is to have zoning
finalized before board considers
site plan, McQueen explained.
"We have discussed this
before and the reason I said that
it was OK because it involves a
Preliminary Plat and not a final
plat," John McPherson,
Gilchrist County Attorney


tllere WUUII UL 1no questonIUI, ne
added.
.There, is time between the
preliminary plat and the
submission of the final plat to
get the rezoning in place,
McPherson told the. board. "I
can't think of any legal reason
that you can't stipulate before
final zoning is approved that the
zoning must be in place, he
explained!
"I don't want Mitchell to be
blamed that the board would do
something for him, that we
wouldn't do for someone else,"
explained Commissioner
Durden.
"I would feel more
comfortable to wait and get this
property rezoned first,"
explained Commissioner
Sharon Langford,
"I don't have a problem
doing it as long as we do it
legally and lawfully," explained
Commission Chairman Tommy
Langford.
Mitchell Gentry told the
board that the planner found
more information involving the
rezoning later and she was
unable. to process this
information and meet the
deadlines involving .getting the
information to the board for this
meeting.
Gentry requested the board
consider the plat so he would be
allowed to move to the next step
in getting this development to

Trenton Rotary Club Honors Gilchrist

Teachers Of The Year


By: Anna Wild
On Monday, January 22,
2006 representatives from the
Gilchrist County School District
came to the Trenton Rotary
meeting to share their Teacher


of the Year announcement.
Every year each school asks
its employees to nominate
a Teacher of the Year and a
School Related Employee of the
Year. Once each school has one


winner in each category they
are interviewed by a committee
to determine one individual
who stands out from the others.
This year the committee had
very strong candidates for both


categories and is very proud to
have them working in our school
district.

You ask .ourself, where
in the world do people from
four different continents get
together once a week to play
the largest sport in the world?
Well, the answer is right here
in Gilchrist County.
Who would have ever be-
lieved that our age 13-18 soc-
cer division would become an
international league. We have
about thirty teenagers playing
serious soccer every Saturday
morning at 10:00 am. Four
of those 30 youths' heritage
are directly descended from
three different continents be-
sides our own North America.
You could make a pretty good
geography test out of this
league!
We have a player from
the continent of Africa, one
from Australia and even one
from South America. We also
have two brothers David and
John Bailey, playing on the
teams, who are from Mexico
and Mr. Dave Silva, who is
from Chile, coaching one of
our teams. Rounding out this
all world league are Rahma
Mkuu who is from Kenya,
Leo Paula who is from Brazil
and Emily Hetherington who is
from Australia. If you add in
Jamie Slysofski whose' father
is a third generation member
of a proud Polish family from
Europe, you can make it five
continents, wow!
So, if you come out and
watch our games and visit with
the players you could virtually
say that you have gone around
the world without even leav-
ing Gilchrist County. Truly
amazing!

The Gilchrist County
Commission set a precedent in
their January 17, 2006 meeting
as they considered the
application of a preliminary site.
plan for Commissioner Mitchell
Gentry involving an Industrial
subdivision he is developing.
I won't go into the details
involving the compromising
position that Commissioner
Gentry put his fellow board
members in by pleading with
them to.. approve the preliminary
site plan in the meeting. When
the county attorney tells the
board that if they don't want to
consider a site plan before the
rezoning of the property is
considered, the board can.
instruct the staff to not schedule
such a request.
Gilchrist County has strived
to have a staff that is educated
and well versed regarding the
planning, zoning and proper
protocol for future building and
zoning. The guidelines are in
place to allow the applicant to
have their property submitted'
and then scheduled to meet all
of the meeting of the Planning
S 'i l .. ,

-----ru.*--------


and Zoning Board, the Board of
.Adjustment and the Board of
County Commissioners.-
I have listened to attorneys
tell their board members that
they always need to deal with
zoning issues in a consistent
manner.
Then there are some
attorneys however, that advise
their board members that they
can deal with such an issue like
approving a preliminary site
!plan before a rezoning issue has
been considered iniol~ing the
same property and this. will not
set a precedent involving the
'board.
I.too- believe that Gilchrist
County needs an Industrial-
Commercial Business 'Park.
Although Idon't think it needs
to be located on the edge, of a
wetland or in a place that was
covered with water during the
2004 flood.
This is fine except when the
elected officials in the county
are forced to compromise their
ethical and responsible:
standards and could be forced
into litigation involving the
denial of some other developer
wanting the same favors for
their subdivision.

In the final epistle of John, the beloved apostle
greets his friend Gaius with warm remarks of love
and respect. John is thankful Gaius walks in the truth
and seeks to uphold the brethren in love. The work of
the church is filled with the witness of Gaius as a
man of God. This letter is an important testimony of
the good work accomplished by those who seek to
build up the church of the Lord in the holy work it is
established for. However, there is trouble in the
church there. A man called Diotrephes is not of the
character of Gaius. If anything, this man is the
opposite of Gaius.
Diotrephes has a spirit of leadership derived
from personal agendas and desire to be great among
the church.John writes of him as one who "loves to
have the preeminence" among the brethren (3 John
9). Diotrephes enjoyed being in a place of leadership
as being first in what was being said and done. He
seemed to have cornered the market on the teaching
of God and dictated such to the church.
Remarkably, this man Diotrephes was bold
enough even to suggest the apostle John was not
worthy of being received (3 John 9). He challenged
the apostleship of John and any who. would be
associated with him. What would possess a man to
take such action as Diotrephes? John threatened his
love of self-rule. His actions were not based upon a
proper interpretation of scripture but his own
darkened view of what he believed. Diotrephes
attacked John with malicious words and gossip,
clearly seeking to diminish the position of John
among the brethren.
The personality of Diotrephes was overbearing.
He guided the minds of the church to allow or
disallow those who would be part of the church there.
He forbade those who wished to be received of the
church, even taking action by "putting them out of
the church" (3 John 10). John called this evil (3 John
11). When men take upon the role of the conscience

of the'members, they take, on the "spirit of
Diotrephes" and bring disgrace to the church of God.
Paul did not bear the marks of Diotrephes. He
and Barnabas had a disagreement over John Mark
and their incongruity became so sharp they parted
from one another (Acts 15:36-41). Later Paul would
commend John Mark (Colossians 4:10). The apostle
Paul would write to the church at Philippi and exhort
them:' "If there is therefore any exhortation in
Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship
of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
make full my joy,' that ye be of the same mind,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind; doing nothing through faction or through
vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting
other better than himself; not looking each of you to
his own things,, but each of you also to the things of
others" (Philippiansi2:1-4).
Diotrephes desired to accomplish things through
faction and division. He sought the vain glory of men
to have a place of prominence among the brethren to
stand for the truth (as he saw it). He may have
pictured himself a Napoleon of the spiritual war to
defend the truth at all cost no matter the lives
destroyed or lost. Fellowship with Diotrephes could
only be measured by his rule of beliefs and none
other. This is why John called his actions evil.
Diotrephes would find his Waterloo before God.
There is no lowliness of mind in the spirit of
Diotrephes. This type of zeal is never characterized
by looking out for the "things of others" or to seek
peace in love. From the depths of this character
comes a zeal that Paul describes in Romans 10:2 -
"For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for
God, but not according to knowledge." Diotrephes
should have listened more to Demetrius who had a
"good testimony from all, and from the truth itself' (3
John 12). May we all have the spirit of Demetrius.

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd


Once again Wall Street is
guilty of throwing the baby
out with the bath water. Intel
recently reported its earnings
and you would think from
the Street's reaction that the
company' 'was hurtling towards
bankruptcy.
SYet, the problem was not with
Intel, it was with the Street.
The Street's analysts set their
expectations too high. When
the company did not meet
those expectations, the analysts
blamed the company (they
would not' think 'of blaming
themselves)) ,and suddenly'
Wall Street panicked. It was. a
ridiculous series of events.
Exactly one year ago I wrote
that my analysis showed Intel
earning $1.40, per share for
2005. Intel reported earnings
of $1.40 per share for 2005. In
other words, I was realistic in
my expectations.
In addition. Intel posted
record revenues of $38.8 billion
and record operating income of
$12.1 billion. The company, also
paid out record cash di'.idends
of nearly $2 billion and used
a record' $10.6 billion to
repurchase 418.4 million shares
of common stock.
In 2005, sales were. up 13
percent over 2004. Building
on that sales groL th. the
company achieved a 15 percent
improvement in net profits and
raised its:earnings per diluted
share by nearly 21 percent. One
way the company managed to
turn a 13 percent sales growth
number into a 21 percent
increase in 'earnings per share
was to buy back shares every

John will be celebrating a
birthday real soon, in fact, it's
not quite two weeks away. He
never requests a cake to
celebrate the big day because
his favorite dessert is a lemon
meringue pie. For the longest
time I searched high and low for
a really good recipe but never
seemed to get it right. After.
testing many recipes:I found a
wonderful recipe for John's pie
by Mrs. Martha Asbell.
Not only is the recipe special,
I think Mrs. Martha is special
too. In fact my mother Doris
Beauchamp has a whole circle
of friends who will always be
near and. dear to my heart. You
see, I've been surrounded by
them my whole life. Momma as
a young bride moved out to the
CurrN ille area south of
Chiefland.l She joined the.
Curryville Homemakers Club


time the Street sent its shares on
a downward slide.
Intel's board has authorized
the companN to repurchase as
much as $25 billion of its own
stdck, or about 18 percent of
%\hat is. currently outstanding.
If implemented in full, the
buyback proihises to further,
increase earnings per share in
the years ahead.
If Intel didn't take the AMD
threat seriously enough before,
- the company left no doubt about
its intentions going forward.,
Specifically, Intel said that it will
increase its capital spending and
R&D expenditures by 19 percent
and 27 percent respectively in
2006.
In doing so. Intel plans
to accelerate development
of advanced chips with 45
nanometer circuits, a generation.
ahead of the 65-nanometer
chips that Intel is currently
transitioning to. By contrast,
AMD is not expected to move
to 65 nanometer processors until
the second half of 2006.
STo calculate Intel's current_
'. intrinsic'-' value, I -,used- an
initial trailing twelve month
earnings number of $8.7 billion,
allowing it to grow at a rate of
10.15 percent and discounted
the results back at a rate of 11
percent (average return on the
S&P 500). The result is a net,
present value for the company's
next 10 years of earnings of
:$83.4 billion:
Beyond the 10th year, if you
lower the earnings growth' rate
to 6 percent and increase the
Discount rate to 12 percent, your
net present value is $142 billion.
Add those two figures
together, subtract long-term
debt of $432 million, and divide
by the 6.03 billion outstanding
shares for a per share intrinsic
value of'$37.37. The shares
recently closed at $22.60.
Using the P/E approach, if you
multiply my earnings estimate of
$1.52 per share for FY 2006 by
the current P/E ratio of 17, the
result is a per share price of
$25.84 for a potential capital
appreciation in the price of the
stock of 14.3 percent during the
next 12 months.

February Is
American Heart
Month
February is American Heart
Month, and not just because of
Valentine's Day! Heart disease,
including stroke, is the leading
cause of the death in the United
States. In an effort to fight'
this battle, Congress. in 1963,
declared February "American
Heart Nlonth." a time for edu-
cation about the prevention and
treatment of heart disease. This
February, make your heart your
valentine, and treat it right!
SNutrition plays a valuable role
in the prevention of heart disease.
Obesity, high blood pressure and
high cholesterol are three major
risk factors for heart disease, and
eating the right foods is essential
to keeping them in check.
The Cardiac Recovery Cook-
book (Hatherleigh Press, $15.95)
is the best resource out there for
heart-healthy and delicious
recipes. By altering a few, simple
ingredients to reduce sodium,
saturated fat, cholesterol and
calcium, family favorites will be
transformed into .healthful dish-
es without sacrificing flavor!
For a Valentine's Day treat, we
recommend baking your sweetie
a Heart-Shaped Frosted Cake,
certain to win both your heart.
and theirs!
re ac' : r *.i : { l' to a '. ; 1")
Heart-shaped Frosted Cake,-
2 cups cake flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cups sugar
4 Tbsp. margarine
4 eggs
1 Tbsp. orange peel
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup skim milkl

Icing:
3 dz. low-fat cream cheese
2 Tbsp. skim milk
6 Tbsp. cocoa
2 cups confectioners' sugar,
sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 and
grease a 10-inch round pan (at
least 2 inches high) with small
amount of cooking oil or use
nonstick cooking oil spray.
Powder pan with flour. Tap out
excess flour. Sift together flour
and baking powder. In separate
bowl, beat together sugar and
margarine until soft and creamy.
Beat in eggs, orange peel and
vanilla. Gradually add flour
mixture alternating with milk,
beginning and ending with flour.
Pour mixture into heart-shaped
pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes
or until done. Let cake cool for
5-10 minutes before removing
from pan. Let cool completely
before icing. For icing: Cream
together cream cheese and milk
until smooth. Add cocoa and
blend well. Slowly add sugar
until icing is smooth. Mix in va-
nilla. Smooth icing over top and
sides of cooled cake. Garnish
with strawberries or cherries for
an extra decorative touch!
The Cardiac Recovery Cook-
book is available in bookstores
everywhere and is the first
step to a healthier heart and a
happy heart month! For more
information on cardiac health,
refer to The Cardiac Recovery
Handbook (Hatherleigh Press,
$21.95).


From the
Shelves of
Bell Library
Remember last week I told
you the Friends of the Library
were meeting. We met Friday
night with a small group of
friends and three of the of-
ficers present. We were glad
to welcome two of our county
commissioners. Thank you for
taking time to meet with us.
The libraries are an important
part of our educational system.
Watch for an announcement of
our next meeting and get in-
volved. They are your libraries
too.
I found a delightful little book
in the beginning readers' sec-
tion. I felt I was meeting an old
friend. Remember "Little Jack
'Homer" or "The Mouse and the
Clock?" These are all found in
"The Real Mother Goose."
I am reading an adult novel,
"Dancing in the Dark" written
by Mary Jane Clark. Diane
Mayfield, a news correspondent
is forced to change the vacation
plans for her and her children fo
go to the Grand Canyon. They
were forced to go to report the
disappearance of young women
in a beach vacation town. The
residents had thought the first
young lady had faked her epi-
sode but when it happened with
others and one ended up mur-
dered, the. believed her. I hope
you enjoN this book If yol like
this type novel let me know.
Come by and check out the
new books we are receiving
most every day.

Senator Rod Smith
Calls for Immediate
Action to Assist
Patients During
Transition to
Medicare Part D
State Senator Rod Smith today
called for immediate action
by state government to assist
patients in need of prescription
drugs and medical procedures
whose cases are in limbo. Too
many patients have been denied
potentially life saving care
while the federal government
works through nie transition to
Medicare' Part D.
"At least 24 otherstates have
taken action to help their citizens,
and Florida should do the same,"
said Smith.. "We have heard
'horror stories from the mental
health community, patients on
hemo-dialysis, and others who
are being denied care while
the federal government works
out the kinks in the program.
This is unacceptable. State
government has a moral and
ethical obligation to intervene


and assist these citizens."
In a letter to Governor Jeb
Bush, Senator Smith urged
the governor to take action
immediately, arid noted that the
federal government is already
taking steps to ensure that states
will be reimbursed for costs
dutlaid during.the transition.
"We must act quickly to give
our citizens the life-saving drugs
and care they need and work
with the federal government to
fix the problems with Medicare,"
Smith added.

burner are to have an annual
Awards Ceremony to distribute
certificates to each monthly
"Personality of'the Month"
along with a "Personality of the
Year." Also, the Council hopes
to establish a week long summer
"Kids Character Camp" and to
design and make a "Kerry Char-
acter" body puppet to be used
at special county events and at
school assemblies.
One of the rewards of making
the public aware of the impor-
tance of character education,
which is a lifelong process, is
that those who work with the
Initiative and bump into people
in their everyday activities are
finding that others are just as
aware of displaying moral char-
acter as they are. School chil-
dren are learning about character
and are making attempts at be-
ing a part of exhibiting character
among their classmates as well
as settling disputes in a cordial
manner.
The City of Trenton Com-
mission was the first entity
in Gilchrist County to sign a
resolution establishing itself as
a "Commission of Character."
The school board .followed suit
and then the county commission
proceeded with its resolution.
Out of the 53 cities in the United
States listed as "Cities of Charac-
ter," tiny Trenton is among them.
Out of the 31 listed "Counties of


Character" the name of Gilchrist
ranks alongside.
Carl and Geneva Cornwell
are so very pleased to be among
the rank and file of everyone
in Gilchrist County who have
chosen to live moral lives of
character, whether or not they
work with the Council. For all
those doing so have many op-
portunities to teach others that a
County of Character is a County
that cares.



CyberCrime Unit
Arrests Clay County
Man On Child
Pornography
Charges
Attorney. General Charlie
Crist has announced the arrest
of.a Clay County man on child
pornography charges. Investiga-
tors from the Attorney General's
CyberCrime Unit arrested Kyle
Wade Rose, 21, after executing a
search warrant on his apartment
and seizing multiple images
:of child pornography from his
home computer. The Special
Victims Unit of the Clay County
Sheriff's Office assisted with the
execution of the search warrant
and the arrest.-
The search warrant and ar-
rest comprised the final stage.
of a six-week undercover online
investigation conducted by the
CyberCrime Unit. During the
Execution of the search %warrant.
two computers \were seized and
will be submitted to the Florida
Department of Law Enforce-
ment for forensic examination.
Investigators believe Rose used
his home computer to transmit
numerous images of child por-
nographN o\er the internet.
"A civilized, society is re-.
pulsed by the exploitation of a
child," said Crist. "The Cyber-
Crime Unit was.established to
help law enforcement use the
latest resources and techniques
to identify, arrest, and prosecute
those who would victimize our
vulnerablee citizens."
The CyberCrime Unit w as es-
tablished recently by the Attor-
ney General in order to focus on
the growing problem of crimes
committed via the internet, par-
ticularly, against, children. Cy- .
berCrime investigators conduct
covert investigations online and
target-iidividuials. who prey on
children as well as those wrho
pollute the internet with images
of child pornography. This unit'
allows law enforcement and
prosecutors to focus on an area
that poses a grave danger to chil-
dren but can be too technically
complex and ever-changing for
some local law enforcement
agencies to emphasize. The
unit is supported in part by the
federally funded Internet Crimes
Against Children task force
and is a member of the North
Florida Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) Task Force:
The case against Rose will be
prosecuted jointly by the Fourth
Circuit State Attorney's Office
and the Attorney General's Of-
fice. Rose is officially charged
with one count of promoting
the sexual performance of a
child, although more charges
may be added at a later time.
Rose faces a maximum prison
sentence of 15 years for each
image that was transmitted. He
is currently being held in the
Clay County jail.
A study by the Crimes
Against Children Research
Center several years ago indi-
cated that at least 24 million
children between the ages of
10 and 17 use the internet regu-
larly. One out of every five of
these children received a sexual


solicitation, one in every four
received unwanted pictures of
naked people or people hav-
ing sex, one in every 17 was
threatened or harassed and one
in every 33 received an aggres-
sive sexual solicitation asking
the recipient to meet, phone or
accept gifts.
The CyberCrime Unit's
mission statement directs it to
protect children from comput-
er-facilitated sexual exploita-
tion by working cooperatively
on a statewide basis with law
enforcement and prosecution
agencies to provide resources
and expertise, while prevent-
ing the spread of these crimes
through education and commu-
nity awareness.
In addition to the, Cyber-
Crime Unit, the Attorney Gen-
eial has taken several steps to
protect Florida's children dur-
ing the past year.
In May, Crist and Florida
Department of Law Enforce-
ment: Commissioner Guy
Tunnel, in conjunction with
Pitne -Bo es.,' announced an
enhanced state website that
.makes it easier to keep track of
sexual offenders and predators
in Florida.
SA new publication titled
"Safe Steps" was produced.
for the purpose of educating
parents on % a)s to protect their
young children and alert them


to issues involving teenagers.
The publication was produced
in conjunction with the Na-
tional Center for Missing and
Exploited Children.
A series of one-hour cours-
es called "Escape School,"
covering child safety for both
children and parents, was pre-
sented at 25 locations around
the state.
The Attorney General also
successfully fought for the
constitutionality of the Florida
Sexual Predators Act Flori-
da's version of "Megan's Law"
- which.is the act that requires
sexual predators to register
once they are released from
prison. The Florida Supreme
Court agreed with the argu-
ments put forth by theAttorney
General's Office of the Solicitor
General. The Supreme Court
also agreed with the Attorney
General's argument that auto-
matically placing a- convicted
offender's name on a list ofiof-
fenders is not unconstitutional.
-In addition, the U.S. Supreme
Court refused to consider a
legal challenge to the Florida
law, requiring sex offenders to
register with the state so their
.pictures and other identifying
information can be posted on
the internet.

Attorney General
Warns of Phony Car
Buyer Scam
Attorney General Charlie
Crist has issued a consumer
alert warning Floridians of an
emerging scam in which con
artists target individuals trying
to sell their vehicles and other
items.
The Attorney General's Of-
fice has received numerous
complaints from consumers
across the state reporting the
overpayment scam. In this
scheme, a thief selects the vic-
tim after browsing through clas-
sified ads for a car or other
large-ticket item offered for
sale. The thief pretends to be an
interested buyer from out of


town and sends payment in the
form of a cashier's check,
money order or personal check.
The payment typically arrives in
an amount greater than the pur-
chase price.
The con artist then asks the
seller to wire the overpaid
amount to another party or back
to the "purchasers," sometimes
explaining that the purchaser
lives in another country and the
third party will use the money to
ship the vehicle overseas. After
the money is wired, the original
check bounces or turns out to be


a high-quality counterfeit, and
the innocent consumer loses the
money.
"This is yet another example
of crooks taking advantage of
people's trusting nature," said
Crist. "Unfortunately, Floridi-
ans must constantly be on the
alert for people who might be
looking for a quick way to make
an easy buck. If consumers are
aware of these scams, they can
better protect themselves from
becoming the next victim."
Angie Denton in North Flor-
ida was suspicious when she
received an offer, for $4,000
more than the price of a truck
she was selling online. The
buyer wanted Denton to wire
the difference back to them, but
she felt uneasy about the request
and did not. accept the $8,000
cashier's check.
. Another South Florida couple
fell victim to the scam in Janu-
ary after they posted an online
ad for a Miami apartment to
rent. They were contacted by a
"student" from London stating
he or she was .interested in the
apartment and would send a
cashier's check for the rent.
The check was for $2,500 more
than the $1,000 the renters
asked for. The "student" asked
the couple to wire the difference
back, saying the overpayment
nas a mistake After wiring the
money\ back, the couple realized
the original check was fraudu-
lent and they had lost their
$2,500.
The Attorney General's Of-
fice offers the following tips to
a\oid falling prey to this scam:
Kno\w % ho ou are dealing
with. Independently confirm
the buyer's name, address and
telephone number. Keep .in
mind that most legitimate buy-
ers would want to see a car be-
fore buying it.
SNever accept payment for
more than the purchase price of
the item, no matter how tempt-
ing. Never wire money to the
buyer or a third party at the,
buyer's request. If the buyer
insists that you wire back funds,,
end the transaction immediately
as legitimate buyers won't pres-
sure you to send money.
If possible, accept only cash.
If you do accept a check for
payment, do not turn over the
car until you verify that the
check has cleared the, issuing
bank.
Request a check 'drawn on a
local bank or a bank with a local
branch, which allows you to
make a personal visit to make
sure the check is valid. If you
cannot get a check from a local
bank, call the bank where the
check originated and ask if it is
valid. Get the bank's phone
number from directory assis-
tance or an internet site you
know and trust, not from the
person who gave you the check.


Resist any pressure to "act
now." If the buyer's offer is
good now, it should still be
good after the check clears the
issuing bank.

The Holidays
Each ',ear the Florida Poison
Information Center in Jackson-
Sille records an increase in emer-
gency poisoning calls during the
holidays. "The holidays bring
about unique poisoning hazards,
often resulting in' accidental
exposures," explains Deborah
SSmith. RN, Education Coordina-

utensils and work areas clean,
and follow food product instruc-
tions regarding storage, thawing,
cooking and handling.
Alcohol
Is a common poison risk for
children during the holidays. A
small amount can cause a child's
blood sugar to drop to a danger-
ously low level. Sleepiness, sei-
zures and breathing difficulties
can also occur. When serving
alcohol, remove all empty or
partially empty cups, store al-
cohol in a locked cabinet, and
remember that motor vehicle
accidents remain a leading cause
of death in children. Approxi-
mately 1/2 of all fatal. motor
vehicle accidents have alcohol'
as a component.
Plants
Poinsettia, Christmas Berry,
Mistletoe, Holly, Bayberry,
Christmas Rose, and Jerusalem,
Cherry are often present in the
home during the holiday sea-
son. These plants can be dan-
gerous to children and should
be kept out of their reach.
Symptoms of plant poisoning
include nausea, vomiting, diar-
rhea, rashes, mouth and throat
irritation, arid choking from
airway obstruction. Call the
poison center for additional in-
formation if a child eats a plant
or any part of a plant.
Decorations
SModern ornaments, are usu-
ally non-toxic, but may, still
pose as a choking hazard if
small enough to enter a child's
mouth; Family heirlooms or
antique ornaments ma\ contain
lead; Metal toy jewelry sold in
vending machines can contain
lead (it, is difficult to distin-
guish the lead je welry from the
non-lead je\%elr),i; The liquid
contained in bubble lights is
very toxic if swallowed; The
application of artificial snow
can cause respiratory irritation
if not used in, a well-ventilated
area; Angel hair, made of'spun
glass, irritating to the eyes and
skin; Lamp oils can be toxic if
aspirated into the lungs follow-.
ing its ingestion.
Other holiday poisoning
hazards
Artificial tree scents, tree
preservatives, colognes and
perfumes often contain alcohol
and irritants, and can be dan-
gerous if swallowed or sprayed
into the eyes; Gift-wrap, hobby
glues, batteries/butto.n batteries
"can _blqck, a child's airv..:\, if
swallowed;- Decorative snow
globes contain water that may
be contaminated with bacteria

FWC Biologists
Release Preliminary
2005 Manatee
Mortality Data
Red Tide Contributes To
Second-highest Mortality Year
On Record
In.what proved to be the sec-
ond-highest year for manatee
mortality on record, biologists
with the Florida Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commission's
Fish and Wildlife Research In-
stitute documented 396 manatee
deaths in state waters in 2005.
Since 1974, the first year
manatee .mortality data was
collected, total annual, manatee
mortality was higher only in
1996, when 415 deaths were
recorded. A red tide bloom that
year contributed to 151 of the
total deaths. Red tide toxin ex-
posure played a significant role
again in 2005, contributing to 81
manatee deaths. Yearly mortal-
ity numbers and causes of death
fluctuate naturally from year to
year.
Eighty manatees died in
2005 due to watercraft-related
injuries. Although this figure


represents an increase over the
69 deaths reported last year, it
remains consistent with the five-
year average for watercraft-re-
lated deaths. Lee County led all
Florida counties in watercraft-
related manatee deaths in 2005
with 11 documented deaths;
Volusia County is the next-high-
est with eight. Watercraft-related
mortality averages approximate-
ly 25 percent.of annual deaths in
years without red tide.
Additional categories of
manatee mortality include: cold
stress, perinatal and other natu-
ral causes, as well as floodgate
and canal lock and other human

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.

money. I am paying for all of
these things including
permitting and staffs time. I
would like for the board to
consider this application at this
time," Gentry explained.
Commissioner Sharon
Langford made a motion to
have the .rezoning considered
before the board, before action
is taken on the preliminary plat.
Commissioner Durden seconds
the motion.
"I have two customers that
are interested in lots in this
development and I can't close
on a piece of property until I
have a final plat," Gentry
explained.
McPherson explained that it
is all right to .consider this
preliminary plat before rezoning
regarding this issue. "If you are
worried about setting a
precedent, you could direct staff
to never do this again. We want
to have zoning and land use in
place before the board considers
plats. I think the board could
prevent it from being a
precedent by doing this,"
McPherson explained.
The chairman called for a
vote and the board identified by
roll call that- the motion to
consider this preliminary plat
after the rezoning is brought to
the board failed by ,a .2-2 tie.
Voting against the motion were
Commissioners Tommy
Langford and Kenrick Thomas.
Mitchell Gentry asked the,
board to consider the
preliminary plat at this time.
"You have the advice of your
attorney that it would be OK,"
Gentry explained.
'Commissioner Kenrick
Thomas made a motion to
approve the preliminary site
plan. The attorney explained
that the chairman under Roberts
Rules, of Order could second a
motion. Chairman Langford
gave a second to the motion
before handing the gavel over to
Vice Chairman Randy Durden.
"I would appreciate it ifya'll
would consider approving this
preliminary plat. Of course
worse than delaying it would be
not approving it contingent on a
zoning change, attorney advised
OK," Gentry pleaded with the
board.
The chairman called for a
vote and the board identified by
roll call that the motion in favor
of the plat failed by a 2-2- vote.
Commissioners .Sharorn
Langford' and Durden voted
against the motion.
The board discussed the
issue and determined that the\'
would consider the issue again
following the rezoning request
scheduled to be on the, February
6, 2006 agenda.
