Bell FFA Wins Gilchrist

Soil Conservation Competition


By Terri L aiglord Dixe .-AdIocate
Stal'Writer
Last Friday, January 27th
FFA members from. the Levy
and Gilchrist Counties met at
the First District Community
Center in Dixie County for the
annual Tri-County Land Judginig
Contest. The Dixie County Soil
& Water Conservation District
sponsored the event this year.
After checking in the teams
traveled down the road to
the Oak Grove Dairy where
members would test their skills
at reading the soils permeability,
drainage capabilities, texture,
and determine whether or not
there had been any erosion.
Alfred Jones from Natural
Resource Conservation Service
(NRCS) noted that these contests
are, conducted to .give these
"Future Farmers of America"
(FFA) the knowledge of what
type. of land they may purchase
in the future. It also gives
them a history of past weather
conditions such as drought and
flooding in the area.
'Helping with the grading and


scoring were members front the
Gilchrst and Cross City Div-ision
of Forestry, County E\tension
Agents, and the NRCS.
Once everyone had their fill of
BBQ, Paul Ridaught, Dixie Soil
& Water Conservation Chairman,
started off the awards portion of
the event by recognizing two
special people, Ron Piechocki
of Oak Grove Dairy and
Tommy Jones of the Suwannee
River Resource Conservation
& Development for all their
help with the contest. Then, for
the moment they had all been'
waiting for, announcement of
the winners. Each county had
a Jr. and Sr. Division as well
as a High Individual winner.
Unfortunately there were no
teams from Dixie County's FFA
programs this year.
The Dixie Soil & Water
Conservation would like to
thank the following for their
generous donations. Without
them pitching in the lunch
provided would not have been
possible. They are Oak Grove
Dairy, Anderson, Columbia,

Gilchrist County School Board
and Lancaster Development
Youth Center are partnering
together in an effort to bring
students at the Gilchrist County
Alternative School mentoring
and life changing ideas. January
24, 2006 was the introductory
meeting that gave the mentors
an opportunity to see the
classrooms,, learn about the
Alternative School Program and
meet the students. Each mentor
was given an opportunity to
share a brief summary about
themselves and their reasons
for wanting to be involved
with these students. There
will be two groups 'of mentors
coming on alternating Tuesdays
to mentor these students. Mr.
Whitaker, assistant principal for
Trenton High School, welcomed
the mentors and expressed the
school's gratitude for their
.commitment and involvement.
Mr. Rawlings, director of the
Gilchrist County Alternative
School, shared with the mentors
the history of the Alternative
School Program and how it
functions within the main school
system.
Mentoring in the State of
Florida has benefited many
students as part of the Mentoring
Initiative created in 1999 by


Governor Jeb Bush with' the
motto: Think. Care. Mentor.
Mentoring continues to provide
the necessary tools to many
students throughout the state
that are involved in programs
such as Teen Trendsetters and
Take Stock In Children.

Mentoring is a vital part of
anyone's life. More people fail
in life for lack of encouragement
than for any other reason. Can
you remember adults who paid
attention to you, who believed
in you, and who guided you
during your childhood? Those
individual's were mentors.
This mentoring program
was initiated through funds
provided by the Department of

Juvenile Justice. "We expect
our students here in Gilchrist
County to succeed because
we believe ALL students have
potential that can be discovered
and developed," commented
Deborah Douglas, Student/
Career Development Assistant
and Mentor Coordinator for
Gilchrist County School Board.
She added "We are Changing
Lives ONE Student At A Time!"

Comments
By John M. Ayers
The Gilchrist County
Chamber of Commerce
deserves a standing ovation
after Thursday night's Annual'
Installation Banquet and
Awards program. This year the
award recipients were most
deserving. It is great to see the
people, that often times work in
the background who never
receive the thanks they deserve,
finally receive the appreciation.
Chamber President Julie
Thomas and her Board of
Directors have really put
together a great year after
Maureen Gentry came aboard as
Executive Director.
The banquet has taken on a
new look and many of the new
business people coming-into the
county have joined the
organization and attended the'
banquet last week. It is good to
see these. new folks getting
involved in' the chamber of
commerce.
I have to say that Mr. and
Mrs. Wilbur Bush are the type
of people that I feel Mr. Ayers
.iould be pleased wt,ith if he
Kne\ they had just received the
award that has been named in
his honor.:
"Big -Jim" Jones, the
Gilchrist Citizen of the Year is'
an individual that has always


been happy to give and be
involved in getting things done.
I spoke with Big Jim following
the banquet and he explained
that there are many changes that
are just around the corner that
will seriously affect this area
over the next five years.
I enjoyed the banquet but
was disappointed when my wife
and I didn't win one of the
many door prizes that were
'being given away by Jim Troke
and his fellow board members.

Circumcision Proves The Necessity
(Kent Heaton)


The apostle Paul appeals to the "saints and
faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse" to
discharge the philosophies of men and embrace Him
who has the preeminence in all things (Colossians 1).
The church at Colosse had been, troubled by the
teachings of men that distracted from the glory of the
church and pure teaching of the Savior. Paul seeks to
admonish the brethren to maintain their faith in Jesus
Christ in writing, "If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection
on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God"
(Colossians 3:1-3).
Paul reminds them of their obedience to the
gospel of Christ in the use of the remembrance of
their being raised with Christ and the death
experienced in that raising. He wants them to keep
their focus on the one who sits on the right hand of
God establishing the preeminence of Christ in their
lives and removing the shackles of this earth from
their minds. The apostle had earlier shown how this
"raising" took place and when. "In whom also ye are
circumcised with the circumcision made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh
by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in
baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through
the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised
him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins
and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he
quickened together with him, having forgiven you
all trespasses" (Colossians 2:11-13).
Most religious people today deny the necessity
of baptism. Modem preachers delude the masses into

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd
This week marks a major
change in the way in which I
talk about companies and their,
future going forward.- For the
past several years I have been
providing an intrinsic value
based on a discounted stream
of earnings, in addition to.
my earnings estimate for the
upcoming 12 months.
Both methodologies provide
an insight to 'a company's
potential, are easily, understood,
and the ,intrinsic value
calculation can be duplicated
by readers and the parameters
changed if so desired.
The difficulty with using
earnings is that companies have
considerable leeway in how they
calculate their numbers. As a
result, the consensus of opinion
is that a discounted cash flow
(DCF) model is a more accurate
methodology to use, although
it is also more complicated
mathematically.
However, I recently came
across Valuepro, an easy to use
program developed by three
university professors. Valuepro
is a DCF model using free,
cash flow to calculate intrinsic
value. Details of the program,
and instructions on obtaining a
copy, will be available soon at
SRuddReport.com .
For those who do not wish
to run the -model themselves,
you can.rest assured that I will
always provide the DCF intrinsic
value ,for every 'company
discussed here. Therefore, we.
will have two distinct intrinsic'
values, along with an earnings
estimate, with which to gauge
the potential performance of a
company's shares.
Moving on, this week's
company- is another solid

Of Baptism


believing that baptism is only an outward sign of an
inward grace that has no connection with, salvation.
Paul establishes firmly in the book of Colossians the
necessity of baptism as clearly as the necessity of
circumcision commanded by God in an earlier time.
The covenant of circumcision was given to Abraham
in Genesis 17. "And ye shall circumcise the flesh of
your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the
covenant between me and you" (Genesis 17:11).
Circumcision was established in the Law of Moses
(Leviticus 12). This was a fleshly circumcision.
Under the Law of Christ, circumcision would be a
spiritual act- "without hands."
Imagine someone in the days of Moses
preaching that circumcision was not necessary for
salvation. Paul told the' church at Colosse that the
"circumcision made without hands" was not the
putting off of a fleshly foreskin but the "putting off
the body'of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision
of Christ" being buried in baptism! The covenant
of God is established through baptism and without
this covenant there is no salvation.
Paul also reminded the brethren they had died
for Christ. Where does this death take place? Did
they die in the Lord when they accepted Christ as
their personal Savior? No! Their death took place in
the waters of baptism. "Know ye not, that so many of
us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by
baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up
from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we
also should walk in newness of life" (Romans
6:3-4). Colossians 3:1-3 shows the necessity of
baptism. Have you been raised with Christ?

By Cindy Jo /

Last week while frying
shrimp for my boys; John and
J., I had a flashback to a simpler
time in life, way back in the
70s. As I stood over my old cast
iron frying pan watching the
shrimp turn golden brown in the
bubbling oil my mind wandered
back to my high school years
while .living in Cedar Key. My
.first real job was at Castell's
Restaurant on the Dock where I
worked for the former Barbara
Jean Castell along ith her very
colorful kitchen staff.
Needless to say I learned a lot
about cooking seafood and even
more about life. My job title at
age 16 was Salad Maker I must
have made thousands of Palm
Salads while working at the
restaurant. Before the restaurant
got busy each night I would slip
into, the kitchen and hang out

fourth, quarter numbers were
slihhtlh less than the Street had
hoped for, despite the bank's
excellent performance over the
past several years.
A year ago I \ rote that my FY
2005 earnings estimate for Bank
of America (BoA) was. $4.20
per share. The price of the stock
back then xas $44.97. The.bank
recently reported 2005 earnings
of $4.21, excluding one time
merger and restructuring charges
of 6 cents per share. So I was a
penny under.
However, fourth-quarter net
income was 93 cents per share,
versus 94 cents a year ago. The
profit, decline was the first since
the third quarter of 2001. For
2006. the Bank expects earnings
per share to increase percentage
wise by a low- to mid-single-
digit.
Now let's see if we can
determine BoA's underlying
strength. Calculating the
intrinsic value using the
discotinted earnings approach,
with an initial earnings number
of'16.89'billion andian earnings
gro\ th rate of '6.67 percent,
yields an intrinsic per share
value of $59.05.
Using the discounted' free
cash flow' model \ ith the same
earnings growth rate, a weighted
average cost of capital of 6.98
percent; and an equity, risk
premium of 3 percent, yields an
intrinsic value of $58.85. As you
can see the two results are close.
My earnings estimate for
fiscal 2006 is $4.50 per share.
Assuming the current trailing.
12-month P/E ratio remains
unchanged at 10.5; BoA should
be trading right around $47 per
share. With a recent closing
price of $44, that represents a
potential 12-month gain of 6.8
percent.
However, there is a kicker.
BoA's dividend yield is currently
4.5 percent, which means the
potential total 12-month return
on the stock is 11.3 percent

with the cooks. Man, what an
education I received in that
kitchen...Thank goodness those
walls can't talk. I would peel
shrimp or slice lemons, but
mostly I listened to the latest
news aka gossip. Those women
were so good to me. The late
Janie Robinson and Ma Helen
(Kirkland) took me under their
wing.
Once the cooks realized I had
an interest in cooking they
started teaching me how to cook
seafood. The former Nanc\
Braswell, while explaining the
particulars of inaking a good pot
of clam chowder, told me to
never serve it the same day it's
made. Nancy explained that
chowder needs to spend the
night in the cooler to let the.
,flavors. come together, before
it's served.
To this day I still fry shrimp
like they did at the restaurant.
Nanc\ would beat a couple of
raw eggs with about 1 cups of
water. Then add Worcestershire
Sauce and lemon juice, she
added a couple of teaspoons of
each. They would dip' the
shrimp in. this mixture before
rolling them in cracker crumbs.
In those-days they used Lance's
Captain Wafer crumbs to
bread the shrimp in. Last week I
found Maitha White Cracker
Crumbs which were .pretty.,
good. Nancy's advice on frying
shrimp was to never over-bread
or overcook them.
If I happen to have good
scallops fresh from the Gulf
during the summer months I'
will go the extra mile when
frying them. I have been known
to unwrap individual Captain
Wafers@ packs and put them in
the food processor with the
knife blade, then chop them to
smithereens. Fresh scallops are
one of my .family's favorites
and unwrapping Captain
Wafers@ ,to make crumbs
doesn't'" '. Ir like too much
tioublei-6.e\.C rCone to think of
it, I enjoy shelling peas too. I
guess this. just proves how
obsessive I am about good food.
The shrimp that I cooked last
week came from Neeley Shrimp
Company out of Horseshoe
Beach. The Neeley's shrimp
were great and we really
enjoyed them. Ms, Neeley said
they were caught fresh from the
Gulf the same week we received
them. She de-heads the shrimp
and freezes them before she
Sells them. I'm all about eating
wild shrimp no matter if they
come from the Gulf or the
Atlantic.. Shrimper's, like
fishermen, will be out of
business if we don't buy wild
shrimp from the coasts of
Florida and Georgia. Those
foreign farm-raised shrimp just
can't compare with our fresh

shrimp may be less expensive
but they just don't have any

Gilchrist Remembers When...

article promoting The 2nd Annual RCA Rodeo. The rodeo was
sponsored by the Chiefland Saddle Club. The stock contractor
was Circle D Rodeo Company and it was held at the arena
located at Lotoma Ranch.

Letter To The Editor
I attended the Board of Ad-
justment meeting on January
17, 2006. For those interested,
the Board of Adjustment (your
county commissioners) ap-
proved the Special Exception
being requested by a .property
owner in a subdivision to allow
dump trucks to be stored and
parked on his property. This
business is now allowed to
house 6 dump trucks and 5 other
heavy vehicles and begin work
at 5:30 am Monday through Sat-
urday. This is a "forever" deal.
There is no time limit on this
Exception.
What a sad day for the neigh-
borhood. I applaud those neigh-


bors who attended the Planing
and Zoning meeting and/or the
Board of Adjustment meeting
and explained their reasons for
being, against this exception:
declining property values, de-
terioration of roads, noise, dust,
traffic, and ground and air pol-
lution from gas and oil. Their
concerns were dismissed at both
meetings.
In this case (and probably oth-
ers in this county), this property
owner started out with one or
two trucks, lived on the prop-
erty, and the neighbors tolerated
the business: Then, over two or
three years the owner tripled the
numbers of trucks, moved off
the property, and the business
became ,a real nuisance in the
neighborhood causing daily,
clearly\ un.'.anted agrm.aation to
man\. not to mention real dollar
.property value losses.
When finally neighborhood
voices could' be heard, your
Board of Adjutment members
ignored those voices, the time
in the County Comprehensive
Plan, ana then.L'nd ti elo'pment
regulation,. These t.:.lks really\
rnmis.ed'theioatu on this one We
would all like the Board to tell
us how this exception is "com-
patible with adjacent properties"
and "promotes the general wel'-
fare" of the neighborhood.
A comment by one of the
County Commissioners at the
end of the meeting, speaking
about the property owner, was
inappropriate. something to
the effect that "this poor boy
made good, pulled himself up
and grew a business." Well,
most people are poor starting
out, and "make good", but not at
the expense of their neighbors.
Maybe it's who you know in this'
county.
I hope people looking to live
in Gilchrist County .take heed,
really look at the neighborhood
they're going to move in to: and
gauge the activities of neighbors
as far as business development
allowed. Chances are, once a
"blight" there, always a blight
there. Don't look to the county
for help when things turn bad.

In Regard To The Tyler Creek Business Community

A few points to ponder, regarding last week's article in John's Comments about the Tyler Creek Business Community.
I agree with John that Gilchrist County needs an Industrial-Commercial business park, and that it needs to be engineered
to protect our environment.
Concerning the adjoining wetlands, guidelines established by our Land Development Regulations are used to ensure
the protection of the wetland area adjoining Tyler Creek. These include establishing the wetland area by Dr. David W.
Hall, PH.D., an Environmental Consultant and Forensic Botanist, design and engineering by Causseaux and Ellington
Inc., and review and approval of the design by the Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD).
The flooding that occurred in 2004 established new high water elevations throughout our community, and a low area
on my property was flooded, but most was not. The Gilchrist County road department and a neighbor (Billy and Pat
Rogers) used it for access to Tyler grade during this time. I consider the new elevations beneficial for the development of
Tyler Creek. If a business constructed in Tyler Creek is flooded it will mean there is nearly 2 feet of water in the Trenton
Post Office.
Commissioners agree it is a priority to have an industrial-commercial business park, and this is number four on a list
established by the Commissioners for Gilchrist County's Community Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). It is my
desire to'create a business community that will attract a number of small businesses to provide needed services for our
area, while providing jobs, economic growth, and an increased tax base with less demand for county services. These
businesses will include craftsman, storage/warehouses, distribution, light manufacturing, and service providers.
I didn't consider myself "Pleading with the commission to approve the preliminary plat", but rather appealing to them
to follow the recommendations of staff and county attorney in their decision. It is common practice to approve preliminary
plats with contingencies to be completed before the final plat. I want my fellow board members to feel comfortable with
their decision, and I accept the process needed to achieve that level of approval.

Thank you,
Mitchell Gentry
County Commissioner District 2

The proceeds from the sale of her
books are being used to pay the
expenses for the treatments and
medications required to treat the
renal disease she suffers from.
Please stop by and welcome this
lovely lady.
A dear friend gave me three
new books for Bell Library. I
am reading one of these, Bear
Hugs written by Ginny McBlain.
The two other books by the same
author are Solemn Vows and
Faith Hope and Charity.
In Bear Hugs, a mother called
a television performer who did
a children's program and asked
him to make a special tape
commanding her son, Jamie, to
wake up from the coma he was
in caused by a car accident when
his father was killed. Bidwell
Bear was his stage name and
all the children loved him and
would not miss his program
for any reason. His personal
tape to Jamie worked but. his
mother joined her son as a fan
of Bidwell's. -Read the novel to
see if he ever meets this newest
member of his fan club.
For the beginning reader we
recommend Carmichael'sa Book
of Nursery Rhymes as a book
of catchy little rhymes you will
remember and come to love.
We are pleased to tell you,
patrons are beginning to make
.pledges to the building fund to
help us enlarge our space at Bell
Library.

Sinkholes can act as direct
paths, transporting pollutants to
the Santa Fe River and springs,
as well as the groundwater we
all need for drinking. This is
why it is so important not to use
sinkholes as dump sites, and why
we need to clean up this sinkhole
that is so close to the. above
mentioned water resources
Along with Current
Problems, other partners in
this endeavor include Alachua

Karst Environmental, CCDA,
and. Ginnie Springs Outdoors.'
Current Problems was awarded

Gilchrist County
Sheriff's Volunteers
News
The Thanksgiving Food
Drive was the largest ever with
251 turkeys and accompanying
food items being distributed to
those in need. Many hours were
devoted to collecting donated
items, packing the boxes and
distributing to residents who
were unable to come to the dis-
tribution center to collect them.
The Sheriff's Volunteers
want to publicly thank the area
businesses, organizations, and.
individuals contributing much'
needed money and food to this
cause. Without your generosity
and involvement, the food drive
and distribution would not be the
success it has been.
Besides the many hours spent
on the food drive, Crime Watch
vehicles were driven 2,726
miles patrolling county roads.
Volunteers also assisted with
the Down Home Days event by
posting signs and directing traf-
fic. Volunteers directed traffic at
the Trenton Elementary School,
The Bell Parade, a circus, Bell
football game and an accident.
365 hours were contributed to
these various functions during
the month of November, 2005..
CARE (Call And Respond Ev-
eryday) callers made 246 calls
and contributed 36.75 hours dur-
ing the month of November to
those requesting the service.


The next meeting will take
place on Tuesday, February
7th at 6:00 p.m. in the Sheriff's
Office Conference Room. All
interested residents are invited
to attend.

ness of.a quilted star on it.
The attached information said
that for the Lakota (Sioux)
people, the star is a sign of
hope and honor. It is a symbol,
of the gathering together as one


people. A "Star" quilt is given
to honor someone that the giver
respects.
Each piece of the quilt is
the work of human hands and
'hearts, but when joined togeth-
er, the pieces become a new gift
that celebrates all people in the
spirit of God. Today, star quilts
are one'of the most valued gifts
of the Lakota and to receive one
is a cherished honor.
I wanted to share this with
you because I believe that as
quilters the energy of our love
for one another, our friendship,
our.caring, goes into each stitch
we make. One who sleeps
under. such a quilt is twice
blessed. Once, by the beauty,
second and most imporiantl,
b\ the love from the hands and
hearts that gave birth to it.
'Til next time,
A Joyful Heart,

girl Lorelei Lee, a role made
famous on Broadway by Carol
Channing in 1949 and on screen
by Marilyn Monroe in 1953. Set
in the roaring 20s, Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes tells the story
of a fun-loving and hedonistic
gold-digger Lorelei Lee and her
trip aboard the Ile de France to
Paris with her chum Dorothy
Shaw.
The score is packed with
lively melodies neatly evoking,
the fancy-free age of the late
twenties. Tuneful melodies like
'". Little Girl from Little Rock,"
"I Love What I'm Doing," "Just
a Kiss Apart," "B\e Bye Bab."'
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,"
"I'm A Tingle, I'm Aglow"
and, of course,. "Diamonds
Are a Girl's Best Friend" are
just a few of; the gems from
the collaboration of Jule Styne
(Gypsy, Funny Girl, Sugar) and
lyricist Leo Robin. ,
Tickets for the show are $14
general admission, $13 seniors,
and $12 LCCC staff, students,
and students from other schools.

Sanchez Kicks Field Goal To Give The

Black Team A 9-8 Victory


The Trenton High School
Annual Alumni football game
drew an interesting group of
former Tigers and friends
Saturday night to Tiger
Stadium. In a rocking four
quarters of play, Daryl Sanchez,
a 2005 graduate,, gave the Black
Team a 9-8 victory when he
kicked a 27-yard field goal
midway through the fourth
quarter.
The Orange Team took an
early lead as quarterback Scott
Guthrie threw a 60-yard pass to
Marty Malloy for a touchdown.
This pass was tipped by' a Black
Team defender, but Malloy
grabbed the ball for the first
score of the game. Neil Pollock
gave':the Orange, Team an 8-0
lead when he dashed into the
end zone on a conversion run.
The black team came
fighting back as they recovered
an even team.fumble in the end
zone for a touchdown. Their
extra-point conversion. attempt
failed as the Orange Team held
an 8-6 lead into the final
quarter. The two teams played
hard but the shortage of plaN ers
on each 'team took their toll on
these former stars. .
The Trenton i Quarterback
Club has, held ,this game
annually to raise funds for the
football teams rat Trenton High
School.


the dinner is $8.

Comrades, Ladies, Tri-County Friends;
I am not completely up to date on the post's activities. I have
missed a few meetings because of health issues. Today though,,
that is not the point. Several of our officers have resigned for
various reasons. Some are probably legitimate and some are hurt
egos or disagreement with another officer. I only have one answer
for each and every member:
For GOD and country we associate ourselves together for the
following purposes:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of
America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one
hundred percent Americanism; to preserve the memories and
incidents of our association in the Great Wars; to inculcate a sense
of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to
combat the autocracies of both the classes and the masses; to make
right the master of might; to promote peace and goodwill on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our
comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.
There shall be no form or class of membership except an active
membership. All the members sacrificed so that we ALL can be
free. We must all function as a united organization for the
purposes stated above. We owe it to our community, our state and
our nation. God is. a member of our organization and is also the
supreme commander. We must unite to support OUR commander.

Log Cabin Quilters met
Thursday, January 26th, at the
Levy County Quilt Museum. As
we meet each week, everyone
has a story to tell about their
week. We don't like to know our
members are sick. If they are
missing we hope they are taking
a few days off somewhere. Rose
and her husband took some days
off, got sick and it takes so much
time to get well, so be careful
where you go. She is back but
had several bad days as well as-
her husband.
Two quilts were put together
and will be done at home. Doris
Beauchamp has put together a
"Hankie" quilt that she is going
to decorate with ribbon and lace
and whatever. Maybe it will go
to the fair next year.
On Tuesday we had Greg
Stalvey and five boys out to
work.' They planted onions,
cauliflower plants, seed potatoes
and. trimmed a grape vine and
also planted another one. They

- :TANGIBLE PERSONAL-PROPERTY '"

INFORMATION
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 Property?
SA. 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,
sighs, 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 I 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
K to avoid problems in this area.


To inquire for more information about
Tangible Personal Property please contact:
Damon C. Leggett
Gilchrist County Property Appraiser
112 South Main Street, Room 138
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. If I 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.

The Farmers' Market Nutri-
tion Program (FMNP) provides

locally grown, fresh Florida
fruits and vegetables. The Senior
SFarmers' Market Nutrition Pro-
gram (SFMNP) provides low-in-

vegetables. This produce can be
purchased at authorized commu-
nity farmers' markets from April

programs, only fresh fruits and
vegetables grown in Florida or

Florida Prepaid
College Board Teams
With Chamber Of
Commerce To Help
Educate Gilchrist
County Families On
Affordable College
Savings Options
'The long-term success of a
business community is tied to
a better educated workforce.
While high school diplomas are
a great start, many of today's
businesses are looking for
college graduates to fill entry-
level positions. And for many
parents in Gilchrist County,
the question isn't whether they
want to send their children to
college, but 'if they can save
enough money to get them there.
The Florida Prepaid College
Board offers two great options
for college savings: the Florida
Prepaid College Plan and the
Florida College Investment
Plan.
To help 'inform' residents' on
ways to save for future college
expenses, the Florida Prepaid'
College Board has joined
forces with the Gilchrist County
Chamber .of Commerce. As part
of the alliance, the Chamber
of Commerce will distribute.
information, regarding both,
college savings plans. '
The Florida Prepaid College
Plan began:in 1987 and has sold
close to :.1.1 million contracts
since its inception. Our data
shows that, on average, one out
of every 10 children in Florida
have a Florida Prepaid College
account. However, there are still
many families with children in
Gilchrist County r ho have not
taken -advantage of the benefits
the program offers.
"Higher education opens the
door to greater opportunities
for children, families and the
business community," sa)s Tom
Wallace, Executive Director
of .the Florida PrepaidCollege
Board.\"Through our partnership
with the Gilchrist Count\
Chamber, of Commerce, we
know we can achieve our goal'of
reaching many Gilchrist County
parents and provide them with.
affordable options to save for
their children's future college
education."
With the Florida :Prepaid
college Plan, families can lock
in thecosit of college riAtion.
locai : fees'- and dormitorN
housing for a child at today's
prices. When the child is ready
for college, the. plan covers
the actual cost at any Florida
public college; or the value of
the plan can be transferred .to
most private colleges in Florida,
select technical schools and
most out-of-state colleges.
Investing in 'a college_
savings plan is a big financial
commitment, but it is well worth
it. With a Prepaid College Plan,
the rates are locked in today and
prices never increase. A family's
investment is guaranteed and
will be there when it is time
for the child to go to college.
There is a prepaid plan to meet
every family's financial need,
to provide the opportunity for
each child to realize his/her full
potential.
Additionally, the savings
for a family can be dramatic
in many cases. According to
Ernst & Young,' the Board's
actuarial consulting firm, when
today's newborns enter college
18 years from now, the cost of a
four-year education at a Florida
public university (including
tuition, local fees and dormitory
housing) will be approximately
93,628. With the Florida Prepaid
College Plan, today a family can
purchase four years of tuition,
local fees and dormitory housing
at a Florida public university for
a newborn for approximately
$28,191, if made in a lump-sum
payment, and save more than
$65,000*.
The Florida Prepaid College
Plan is financially guaranteed
'by the State of Florida, making
it a safe way to save. To qualify,
the child or the child's parent/
guardian must be a Florida
resident. Anyone, including
parents, grandparents, friends or
even businesses, may purchase
a plan. The open enrollment
period for the Prepaid College
Plan ended on Tuesday, January
31, 2006.


The Florida Prepaid College
Board provides families with
a second option to save for
college. The Florida College
Investment Plan, which offers
a range of investment options
and flexibility, may be used for
any qualified college expense,
including 'tuition, fees, room
and board, 'books, supplies,
computers, and equipment
required by the college. The
plan may be used at any public
or private accredited university,
community college or technical

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
$1,0,000 an acre.
You do not have ta 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.

Gilchrist Chamber
Of Commerce
Honors Outstanding
Leaders In
Annual Banquet
(Continued from Page One)
whenever he is needed.
Many farmers in this area
are always calling on this man
to assist them with tips on


proper application of their
chemicals, pesticides .and
fertilizers. Charles Townsend
explained that this man always
has gone above and beyond to
help local youth in financial
matters when the need is there.
'This man is an honest,
hardworking friend to all and is
most concerned about the future'
of Gilchrist County. Tonight we
honor "Big Jim" Jones.
The J. Min Ayers Lifetime


Achievement award is an honor
that was established by the
Gilchrist Chamber of
Commerce in honor of the late
J. Min Ayers, the editor,
publisher and owner of the
Gilchrist County Journal for
over 65 years. This is a man that
loved Trenton and Gilchrist
County and he made his. life
working and raising his family
in this rural community. The
past recipients of this honor are:


Theodore M. Burt, Mrs. Iris
Roberts, William O. Clifton,
Frank Grant and Gary Rexroat.
This year, Chamber Director
Randy Durden introduced the
honorees for 2006. "Just as the
name of this award says a lot,
having the privilege of
presenting this award tonight,
that is named in honor of Mr. J.
Min Ayers is very special to
me," Durden explained.
"I have known this years
-recipient all of my life. I have
always respected them and have
grown to love them as a family
member. They have been very
active in their church and have
taken a tremendous interest in
making Gilchrist County a
better place to live. They are
always willing to take the time
to help anyone who is in need
and will always be there in
times of trouble. I believe this
Comes from them not only being
devoted Christians but also
having strong family values.
As in the past, this 3ear's
award will be presented to a
husband and wife. As longtime
citizens of Gilchrist County,
they represent, the hard work
and dedication that ~ as needed
in past.years to succeed as a
family and also to be successful
business owners. I knn\\ that if
you ask either one of them what.
is the key to their, success, they
will tell you that it begins with
the support that they have given
each other through the years.
This couple has long been
active members of the. First

serving this family in many

Association. He has been a
successful businessman for over
40 years as he owned and
operated the Farm Service'Store
in Trenton. He. has sern ed as a
director of Tri-County Bank. In
1992 he was elected .to the
Gilchrist County Commission
and served the people of
Gilchrist County until
No\ ember 2004 As 'ou


probably know by now, this
year's recipient is Mr. Wilbur
and Mrs. Betty Bush," Durden
explained. They received a-
standing ovation from everyone
attending the banquet.
The Gilchrist County,
Chamber of Commerce had a
very successful year as the
Board of Directors has Maureen
Gentry now on their team as
Executive Director. President
Julie Thomas has also led the
organization through a trying
year of successful acti\ cities.
The Chamber in 2006 will


have four new directors come
on board. These members are
Pam Sanchez, Tony Crews,
Tammy Davis and Mitchell
Gentry.
The 2006 banquet was a
very nice ,evening as Captain
Hugh's catered the meal of roast
beef, mashed potatoes and much
more. The meal was served
cafeteria style and a group of
Trenton High School students
did a great job providing the
drinks and desserts to those
attending the evening program.

Getting A New Cat
Settling a new cat in your
household takes time and*
patience. Remember, the cat
is .being introduced to terri-
tor\ already "claimed" by your
resident pet, so you need to take
both cats' feelings into account.
In addition, it is \our respon-
sibiliit to protect the health of
your resident'pets and the new-
comer.-For instance, many cats
that are adopted from shelters
have upper respiratory infections
that are either brewing or obvi-
ous. It is important for a cat with
such an infection to be treated as
soon as possible. Make sure to
keep your new cat completely
isolated from your other 'cats
for at least a week, or until the
infection has. completely cleared:
up before attempting introduc-
tions. Check your resident cat's
vaccination status to make sure,
he is sufficiently %ell protected,
against diseases the newcomer
.may be harboring.
Upon bringing your new cat
home, put him into a private
room for his first week. This is
where your new cat will begin
to settle into his new home.
Your resident cat should not be
allowed to enter this room or to
stay at the door growling and
hissing.
After a week has passed, allow
your resident cat to explore out-
side the door of the room where
the new cat is residing.
Only when all signs of ag-
.gression (hissing, growling) are
absent, open the door a crack.
Use a doorstop or hook to secure
the door. Again, wait for the
hissing and growling, if any, to
disappear.
If you have a large carrier or
crate, place the new cat in it.
Then bring it into your main
living area. Try simultaneously
feeding both cats treats or deli-
cious food so that they associate
each other's presence with a
pleasurable experience.
Once the cats are comfortable
in this situation, allow them
interact under your supervision.
If there are any signs of aggres-
sion, you might have to limit
their exposure to, say, 5 to 10
minutes, or perhaps go back to
the separation phase.
Gradually increase the time
the cats spend together as long
as they are not aggressive to
each other. Remember cat play
can be pretty iough.
You should also obtain new
food and water bowls, an extra
litter box (or two), scratching
posts/pads, various toys, and
bedding for the new cat. Ob-
tain the same type of food that
the "new" cat was eating in the
previous home. If you choose
to switch the cat's ration, do so
gradually over a two-week pe-
Sriod to decrease the chances of
causing -diarrhea. All these hints
will help your new pet settle in
and become one of the family.

Free Stormwater
Pond Workshops
Being Offered
I The Alachua Count) Environ-
mental Prtectrin Department
is hosting three free stormwater
pond workshops for people
whose work may be affected
by ponds and interested citi-
zens and businesses. The new
county regulations mandate the
incorporation of new approaches
and principles to the design
and maintenance of stormwater
ponds. This workshop can help
you better understand what these
requirements are and how they
may affect your work practices.
People from outside Alachua
County who are interested in
learning more about stormwater
ponds are also encouraged to
attend.
While all people are welcome
at any of the workshops, each of
them will target a different audi-
ence. The first will target people
whose work may be affected by
new approaches, and in the case
of Alachua County, the new
Land Development Regulations
(LDRs). Examples of people
who might be especially inter-
ested in the February 15th date
are agency staff, parks person-'
nel, public works employees,
grounds keepers, landscapers,
and the like.
The February 25th work-
shop will be geared toward the
general public. Neighborhood
associations, homeowner asso-
ciations, businesses, and inter-
ested individuals might prefer to
attend this date.
Lastly, March 1st will be tar-
geting the building community,
builders, developers, planners,
engineers, consultants, etc.
There will be more focus on de-
sign concepts at this workshop,
with a tour of several ponds
included. New approaches to
stormwater ponds that have a
greater emphasis on water qual-
ity, wildlife habitat, and ecologi-
cal diversity as well as the new
LDRs will be explored.
Dr. Mark Clark, IFAS Exten-
sion Agent for Wetlands and
Water Quality, will conduct
each of the three workshops.
All workshops, are free, and
lunch will be provided. Each
of the workshops will have
both a classroom component
and hands-on activity with the
toyr being substituted for the
hands-on work at the March. 1st
workshop..
SThis is a great opportunity
for all to learn new ideas and
methods regarding stormwater
ponds. The workshops are spon-
sored by the Alachua County
Environmental Protection De-
partment, Current Problems,
and IFAS.
