Mrs. Iris Roberts Takes Oath Of

Office As President Of

Bell Town Council


By John:M. Ayers
The Bell Town Council met
Thursday evening and hosted
a standing room only audience
as Mrs. Iris Roberts was again,
sworn in as President of the
Council. This time the 93-year-
old retired school teacher had
another Iris Roberts in the audi-
ence.
An enthusiastic Iris E. Rob-
erts, that is eight-year-old Miss
Roberts, was accompanied by
her mother Kimi Roberts, and
Betty Ramey to the meeting
Thursday evening. Kimi and her
daughter. Iris, live in Lake City,
Florida. This young Iris came to
know about Mrs. Iris Roberts
through Betty Ramey and her
involvement in the Florida Re-
publican Party.
In 2005 young Iris met Bert)
Ramey at a Florida Republican
meeting and learned of Mrs. Iris
Roberts of Bell, Florida. Mrs.
Ramey explained to young Iris
that Mrs. Iris from Bell also was
very involved in politics and had
been involved in the Bell Town
Council for manny cars. At that~
time lMrs. Iris was experienc-
ing some health complications.
Betty Ramey explained'to young
Iris that she would be in touch
with her and would keep young
Iris updated on the medical con-
dition of Mrs. Iris.
As young Iris kept in contact
with Mrs. Ramey, she became so
excited about the opportunity to
meet Mrs; Iris' and have the for-
tune of learning so much from
someone of her age and experi-
ence with her own name. Young
Iris was very concerned about
Mrs. Iris Roberts's health so she
began to pray for her and that
God would heal her body. When
the opportunity finally came that
she would be able to meet Mrs.
Iris Roberts in,the Bell Town
meeting, young Iris made a card
to give to her that read: "Con-

Sgt. Jon Meinholz

Is Character Council

Personality For

February


By Geneva Cornwell
It's a grand and encouraging
thing to know how some people
have such a great love for the
younger generation that they are
willing to go beyond the call of
duty and spend precious time in
training teens to be leaders. In
doing so, youth learn respect for
.self and others, advance in skill
of ORDERLINESS and, in turn,
gain knowledge concerning the
precious freedoms we have here
in the United States of America.
1st Sergeant Jon Meinholz,
Since 1999, has been a mentor to
students in the Bell High School
Junior Reserve Officers Training
Corps (JROTC), has demon-
strated to them, time and time
again, how and why there is a
need to display ORDERLINESS
in one's life. ORDERLINESS
is the character trait highlighted
this month and whom other than
1st Sgt. Meinholz would be the
one to be featured, since the
word's meaning is so significant
for his line of work, and that is,
"observing law, rule and disci-
pline."
1st Sgt. Meinholz is originally
from Aurora, Illinois and came
to Gilchrist County to work with
the JROTC. Although he and
his wife, Erika, reside in Gaines-


1st Sergeant Jon Meinholz
ville, this retired Army Sergeant
of 20 years finds great rewards
in working with the high school
cadets in giving them a "safe
place to learn ORDERLINESS,"
before,embarking upon the adult
world, once they graduate. Jon
is the father of two sons, one
who is presently in the Army
National Guard and the other a
student at Santa Fe Community
College.
Jon Meinholz enjoys the re-
wards of many activities and
believes that if he was not con-
cerned about ORDERLINESS,

Gilchrist County To
Hold Ground
Breaking Ceremony
For Courthouse
Addition
February 17
The Gilchrist County
Commission approved the final
bid of the construction phase of
the new courthouse addition
during a meeting on February 6.
Lloyd Kelly, President of the
Alexander Group, reported to
the board that the bids for the
construction of the courthouse
addition have been approved
and the construction will be
$167,000 less than the original
bid of $2.789 million.
Commissioner Randy
Durden reported that the
courthouse addition committee
recommended that the board
approve the construction phase
of this project at a total cost of
$2,621,654.00. He put this in
the form of a motion and
explained that he would be in
favor of this as long as the funds
to pay for this project don't
come out of the General
Revenue budget. Commissioner
Mitchell Gentry gave a second
to the motion and the board
voted 5-0 in favor of this action.
The board decided to hold a
Ground Breaking ceremony on
Friday, February 17, 2006 at
9:00 a.m. The construction will
begin on Monday, February 20
and is expected to be completed
by January 2007.


Gilchrist County And Suwannee Water

Management District To Hold Public

Meeting February 23 To Discuss The Future

Of Hart Springs Park


By John M.Ayers
The Suwannee River Water
Management District Executive
Director Jerr\ Scarborough met
with the Gilchrist Commission
on Monday to discuss the future
of Hart Springs. He explained
that the water management dis-
trict executive board in their
November 2005 meeting dis-
cussed the future of several
springs along the Suwannee
Ri~er and the properties that
surround these county parks.
"Hart Springs Park which is
owned and operated by Gilchrist
County is a park that needs to
be preserved," Scarborough
explained. The e\ecuti e direc-
tor explained that Hart Springs
has three critical points that
need to be preserved for the
future:
The cultural heritage invol -
ing Gilchrist Count) and the
ownership and the operation of.
the park. Hart Sprirgs has been.
a county owned and operated
facility for over 25 years.
The environmental heritage
that has always been a concern
for the county and should be
even more a concern for the'
future to the residents.
The economic potential of
the park in the future has be-
come an even greater concern


for the county as floods and,
tropical storms have impacted
the park's economic return over
the most recent \ears.
Jerry Scarborough explained
that the Suwannee River Wil-
derness Trail that currently ends
in Branford could.possibly be'
extended to the Hart Springs
Park and bring more people to
this park.
Gilchrist County for the last
seo eral years has spent an esti-
mated $100,000 annually to
maintain, staff and control the
erosion in the park. Some
county residents believe this just
hasn't been getting the job done
adequately.
Scarborough asked how the
county and the water manage-
ment district can work together
involving the park.
,Should the count% continue
to keep the park operating as
they have up until the present
time? Should the county sell the
i '.. LL p i' tle indi iduril i'nd
the park be closed? Should the
county sell the park to the Water
Management District'?
The Water Management
District proposes for the county
to sell the park to the district
and the money be put into an
endowment account that is in-
terest bearing to produce reve-


nue for the operation and mar-
keting of the park in the future.
The district proposes that the
park would come under a not
for profit organization that
would have a five member
committee involved in the op-
eration of the park. Four of the
committee members would be
from Gilchrist County and a'
fifth would be a water manage-
ment district board rhember.
The park board would be ac-
countable to the Gilchrist
County Commission and the
Water Management District
Board.
This type of arrangement
would allow the county to save
valuable tax dollars from being
spent annually at the parkland
still give the.county a voice in
the operation and management
of this pristine facility. The Wa-
ter Management District would
be responsible for capital im-
provements.and would pay for
all future marketing of camping.
diving, and the enjoyment of'
this natural spring.
Scarborough recommended
that the county hold a public
meeting to allow the residents to
attend and find out more infor-
mation about this proposal. :We
hope we can work together to
keep the heart in Hart Springs,"


a district representative ex-
plained.
The County Commission
asked how the Water Manage-
ment District would determine
the selling price of the park.
Charlie Howder, the Director
of Land Acquisition with the
Water Management District,
explained that the district would
have two appraisals conducted
to determine the value of the
park. The Water Management
District has a list of approved
appraisal companies that are
contacted to provide appraisals
of property that are being con-
sidered foi purchase by the Wa--
ter Management District. Jerry
Scarborough explained that he
estimated the park and the prop-
erty owned by the county would:
be valued between $5 and $10.
million. An interest bearing
account would. be expected to
prot ide an estimated $300,000
annual for the management and
operation of the park.
The two governing boards
called for a public meeting to be
held Thursda,. February 23,
2006 at 6:30 p.m. The public is.
urged to attend this meeting and
ask questions This meeting will
be held in the Gilchrist County
Commission meeting facility.

Comments
By John M. Ayers
I recently had the
opportunity to attend a Bell
Town.Council meeting to enjoy
watching Mrs., Iris Roberts
accept the oath of office from
attorney David M. "Duke"
Lang. Mrs. Roberts has been a
member of the Bell Town
Council for as many years as I
can remember.
It seemed that the entire
town attended the meeting to
support the swearing in of Mrs.
Roberts as President of the
Town Council. I have never
attended a meeting that had so
many people there that they had
to open a side sliding door for
the people to witness and be,
involved in the proceedings.
This meeting was well
.attended and as I sat and
listened to the many issues
facing the rural community, it
was obvious that growth has
also become an impacting issue.
As I sat and listened I heard
people ask the council to do
things that they wanted to see
continue in the community.
Sqgtjgof -th~ese peoplee didn't
consider the safety issue or the
fact that an extension of this
activity would cause greater
liability to the municipality. But


the fact is, that something still
needs to be done.
The Town of Bell is also
facing a dilemma involving a
community water and sewer
system. The property around the
municipality is growing by,
leaps and bounds, and all of
these home sites will be on
water wells and septic tanks.
The town Council is facing
some real issues and I hope they
can work together to resolve
what is best for the community
and the area for the future.

Paul's trip to Rome was not without peril and
danger. In the face of death from his countrymen,
Paul and his companions were challenged on every
hand by the forces of nature. The writer Luke,
accompanying Paul on his journey, writes of the
dangerous conditions they found themselves of the
coast of Crete. "But not long after there arose
against it a tempestuous wind, called [Northeaster].
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear
up into 'the wind, we let her drive. And running
under a certain island which is called Clauda, we
had much work to come by the boat: Which when
they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the
ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the
quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven. And we
being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next
day they lightened the ship; and the third day we
cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
And when neither sun nor stars in many days
appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope
that we should be saved was then taken away." (Acts
27:14-20)
It was a desperate time for all on board. The
storm continued to battle against the ship and the men
gave up all hope of being saved. From the pits of
despair rose the voices of doom that seemed to bring
the final fate of the whole ship to a watery grave.
Paul had warned them earlier not to take the trip but
the centurion followed the advice of the pilot and the
owner of the ship. (Acts 27:10,11) The darkness of
their situation caused Luke to write that all hope was
gone. To compound the problem, the men did not eat
for many days. Hunger, gloom and despair hung
heavy on the hearts of all the crew and passengers.
The end would come soon:
Often when we come to the end of our strength
or things could not be any worse, a bright gleam of

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd

Last week saw us once again
celebrate Groundhog Day and I
can only .hope that General Be-
'auregard Lee, a groundhog ac-
quaintance of mine, did not find
the day too stressful despite his:
little "accident," what with all
the attention from the media.
-You see, Groundhog Day is
when they yank this poor furry
creature out of his comfortable
den, wake him from a sound
sleep at 7:34 a.m. and then ask
him if he can see his shadow,
the purpose being to predict
the weather six weeks into the
future.
Given the expertise most
groundhogs have with the Eng-
.lish language, not to mention
.meteorology, there is, prob-
ably some doubt as to scientific
strength of this forecasting ap-
proach. Unfortunately man% ..on
Wall Street have about the same
predictive capability and. effi-
cacy as good old Beauregard.
It seems that greed and specu-
lation (essentially two sides
of the same coin) has inves-
tors lusting after investments
with stories but no substance.
I always ask myself why this is
when there are so man' quality
companies, with solid on-going
records of earnings and divi-
dends, available to invest in.
For' example, one company
that I last discussed a year ago is'
Oshkosh Truck, a manufacturer
of heavy-duty vehicles. Osh-
kosh's closing price on Jan. 26,
2005, was $35.95, split adjusted.
Back then I forecasted that Osh-
kosh would earn a split adjusted
$1.95 per share for its fiscal year
that ended on Sept. 30, 2005. In
actuality, the company posted
earnings) of, $2A18! iperssharep on
revenues of $2.96 billion.
Using my FY 2005 earnings
estimate of $1.95 per share and
multiplying it by the then cur-
rent trailing twelve month price-
to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 21.8,
yielded a projected share price
of $42.51. The intrinsic 'value
back then was $61. The shares
recently closed at $49.31 for a
one-year gain of 37 percent.
Although the company's past
performance earns, it kudos, the
important question is what will
Oshkosh do going forward.
Let's begin by calculating the
intrinsic value of the stock using
a discounted earnings approach.
Inputting an initial earnings
number of $160 million, a
growth rate of 18.5 percent and
a discount rate of 11 percent (the
average return on the S&P 500),
yields a net present value for
the next 10 years of earnings of


hope appears out of nowhere. We feel much like
Luke that all hope is lost for salvation and yet in the
darkest of nights a star appears to guide the way. All
was not lost on the ship that carried the apostle Paul.
An angel.of God appeared.to Paul and told him that
he would not perish nor would any of the others. He
uplifted the hearts of the men when he said, "Do, not
be afraid ... keep up your courage, men." Paul
trusted in the word of God and knew that God would
keep His promise to keep him safe. The ship did run
aground and was destroyed by the pounding waves
but not a man on the ship lost his life, just as God had
promised through Paul. "Everyone reached land in
safety." (Acts 27:44)
SHow often in life have we found ourselves in the
midst of storms that seems to be never 'ending and
without letting up? The sea of life is filled with
turbulent winds of doubt and fear that seek to destroy
our faith. We can let these storms destroy us or
remember the help of the angel of God who stands by
the righteous and gives them strength to endure.
Consider the help from God promised to all who find
themselves in trials: "There hath no temptation
taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation also
make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) Isn't that wonderful? Can
we see the strength that God promises to help us bear
up any storm that comes on us?
Jesus calms our storms with His peace. (Mark
4:39) Sometimes He allows the storms to rage but
calms our spirits. (Matthew 11:28-30) We can never
lose hope if we have God to help us. (Romans 8:31)
Luke learned the blessing of trusting in God even
when the outlook is dark the up look is filled with
the hope of God's blessing and care.

If you are planning a special
dinner, or in our case supper for
that special someone, I have just
the recipe.' I have played around
with the following Chicken
Cordon Bleu recipe several
times and finally I combined a
couple of recipes and came up
with this one. I really think it's
the sauce that makes it
wonderful. Fact is, I could
probably drink the stuff.
Several years ago one of my:
good friends (an original
Southern Sisters member) and I
spent the day pounding chicken
breasts. The event was her son's
wedding and of course the
Sisters were planning to cook
for the wedding reception. I
have -to tell you I had been
pounding chicken breasts: for
about an hour when the mother
of the groom, showed up. Bless
her heart she must have
pounded chicken for three hours
straight. It takes a lot of chicken
.breasts when you are expecting
200 people. Anyway after the
big event we laughed at the fact
that both our elbows would
never be the same from all that .
pounding. For weeks afterward
we, claimed to have a case of
Chicken Elbo', which h is kinda
like Tennis Elbow.
You know there isn't much a
Southern mother will not do for
her baby, even acquire Chicken
Elbow. Even though our babies
are in some cases over six feet
tall now; in our hearts they will.
always be our babies. We surely

$2.34 billion.
Beyond year ten, if you reduce
the growth rate to 6 percent and
increase the discount rate to 12
percent, you have an on-going
earnings number of $5.45 bil-
lion. Add the two figures togeth-
er, subtract long-term debt of
$2.6 million and divide by 73.5
million shares and Nou hate an
intrinsw value f $105.-87.
If we use the Valuepro dis-
counted free cash flow model
to calculate the intrinsic value,
with the same earnings growth
rate, a weighted average cost.
of capital of 7.33 percent and
an equity risk premium of 3
percent, the intrinsic value is
$98.65. Although they use dif-
ferent concepts, the results are
quite close.
My earnings estimate for FY
2006 is $2.65 per share. If you
multiply $2.65 by the current
trailing twelve month P/E ratio
of 22.6, the result is a share price
of $60, or a potential gain of
about 22 percent over the next 9
to 12 months.

6 skinless, boneless, chicken
breast halves (half breasts not
whole)
6 slices of Provolone cheese
6 slices of cooked hami
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon season salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup whipping cream
Salt to taste
Wooden skewers
Flatten chicken breasts by
placing the breast between two
sheets of plastic' wrap and.
pounding it well with a meat
mallet. I ha'e a big heavy one
that has a meat tenderizer on
one side and is flat on the other
side. Pound the breasts using
the flatend. If you don't have
this type mallet you can use a
'rolling pin to pound it with.
Pound until they are less than a
1/2 inch thick. ; .
Place a slice of ham then a
slice of cheese on top of
flaiened chicken breast. Roll up
and fasten edges with a 6-inch
skewer. If you don't have
skewers you can use a couple of.
toothpicks. A ske% er just seems
to be easier to put in and also
easier to'take out when breast is
done. Be. sure to soak the
toothpicks or skewers in water
for at least an hour before using
them. This will keep the wood
from burning.
Mix flour, paprika and season
salt in flour and dredge chicken
in the mixture.-Melt butter over
mediftih'highhbeatbih Tfryingi pan
, and brown chicken on all-sides.
Place chicken in buttered
casserole dish. Combine
chicken bouillon and chicken
broth with butter that is
'remaining in the pan. Pour this
mixture around the chicken and
cover with foil. Bake for 30
minutes at 350'degrees. Chicken
should be done at this point.
Put chicken on a-platter and
pour drippings from casserole
dish back into the frying pan,
which was used earlier. Add a
little whipping cream at a time
to cornstarch in a separate bowl
until completely blended.
Gradually add : cornstarch
mixture into drippings, stirring
constantly, until thickened. Pour
over chicken and serve.
This sauce is good served
over rice.
Note: When buying cheese
and ham buy the best grade that
the deli has to offer. Also I
recommend that you have it
sliced thick. The original recipe
called for Swiss cheese but I
prefer the smoky taste of
Provolone.

Letter to the
Food Editor
With reference to your South-
ern Cooking column of February
2, 2006,I think you would do the
readers of your recipes a:great
favor if you would eliminate all
the frying and concentrate on
broiling or baking or sauteing.
The obesity so evident in this
country and Gilchrist County
could be helped b\ less empha-
'sis on frying e\ery thing Shrimp
and scallops -have more flavor
and nutritional value by broiling
or baking in a flavorful lemon
and herb sauce. Since, obvi-
ously you have not. traveled to
areas where there are great sea-
food restaurants and cooks, you
are unaware of fresh seafood
cooked in superb sauces where
frying only ruins the taste and
quality of good seafood which'
is freshly caught and served,
never frozen. Frying has always
masked natural flavors.
Do the over\whelmingly obese
people of Gilchnst County a fa-
Nor by offering more nutritional
and latorful foods. Thank you.
I think it is more worthwhile to
offer healthier lifestyles to al-
ready obese people..

A Letter To
The Editor
I was sitting in the VA Pain
Clinic last week, waiting with
my employer, for his acupunc-
ture appointment, when a news
item 'came on the television
about a cartoon that was making
people upset. I looked up at the
screen and saw a soldier,, who
had returned from the war, had
lost his limbs and was covered
in bandages. The people in the
audience were speaking out
against it.
When I first saw the cartoon
with the limbless-bandaged man
I thought, "Wow, how did the
cartoonist get away with that?"
and then I thought, "I wonder
if disabled people will be of-


fended."
I work for a disabled man and
I realize the difficulties they en-
counter minute by minute. Those
ofyou who are reading this. letter
are most likely using your hands
to hold the newspaper, to drink
your morning coffee, to brush
your teeth etc. Take a moment
.arid be thankful. Those of you
\ ho walked to get this newspa-
per, please, do the same.
I am sorry if you were ipset
by the use of the cartoon, but
the head of the DAV (Disabled
American Veterans) wasn't of-
fended and quite honestly, I
applaud the cartoonist. What
better way to make people sit
up and take notice? Hey folks,
this is what is happening right
now, while you are sitting in the
comfort of your home or office
reading this %weekly newspaper.
Please, don't get me \ rong. I
support our troops. I pray daily
for them. I also pray that our
government sets a date to bring
them all' idme, 'as quickly as
'-possible.1 Bring them home and
strengthen Homeland Security.
Enough human lives have been
lost and enough of our soldiers
have been "battle hardened."
The reasoning behind this war
has been questioned from the
beginning, and must end soon.
Please, pray for peace and if you
are against war, make your voice
heard.
God Bless Us All, Amen.
Diane Jackman

GILCHRIST COUNTY JOURNAL


- Springhouse Quilters News
---1--3--


The Springhouse Quilters' new home being moved onto their
property in July of 2002.


SSpringhouse Quilters
News
. February 8, will be the 14th
. anniversary of Springhouse
, Quilters since their beginning
in 1992. The first officers of
Springhouse were Mary Jo Her-
fner, president; Lois Schroeter,
vice president; Onnie Mae Col-
son, secretary; and Betty King,
treasurer. According to the
history records from 1992, there
were 35 day members by the end
of the first year.
In 1995, Springhouse mem-
bers decided to form a quilt
group of "Nite Owl Quilters."
This group was formed for those
..


who worked and were unable to
attend the day meetings. This'
group met for its first years.
in the Don Martin Insurance
Building on Highway 19, near
Fanning. They too eventually
moved to other locations with
the day group as Springhouse
continued to grow.
The first meeting place for
Springhouse was the lodge
building, which we refer to
as the Springhouse, at Otter
Springs Resort. During the
early years of Springhouse
Quilters, some of the campers
at Otter Springs participated in
the quilting projects of the guild.

When Otter Springs was closed,
the guild moved their meeting
place to the Shrine building near
Fanning. When this location
grew too small, Fanning Springs
City Hall became the next meet-
ing place.
With the membership still
growing, by 2001 there' were
81 members, the guild moved
again. This time to the Wood-
men of the World building just
west of Trenton. Excitement
grew in early 2000-2001 on the
prospect of a meeting place that
would belong to Springhouse so
to help save on expenses,. the
guild moved to the Donnie Vot-
ing Precinct.
In 2001, White Construction
Company Owners, Luther and
Juanita White, donated 2.5 acres


of land to Springhouse Quilters.
This is the comer property, 334A
and highway 26, at."Lottieville"
of what was once the "Mills
Family Home site."
Now we owned land but
there was not a house or meet-
ing room on the new property.
To the surprise of Springhouse
Quilters, Fanning Springs ac-
quired a double-wide mobile
home and decided to barter for,
the exchange of the home. Dur-
ing 2002, Springhouse acquired
this double-wide mobile home.
From July of 2002 until January
of 2003, Springhouse moved the
mobile home to their new prop-
erty.and remodeled the home for
use as a meeting place. The first
meeting,in the renovated new
"quilting house" for Spring-
house Quilters was January'. 14,
2003.
This is a long history of
Springhouse but none of these
moves or the current quilting
house would have been pos-
sible without the help of many,
individuals in the community.
Springhouse members will' al-
ways be thankful to each person,
which are too many to name, that
helped Springhouse by donating
land, cleaning and clearing the
property, moving, remodeling
and currently maintaining their
current meeting house and prop-
erty. To the entire community,
thanks for all the help you have
given to us.
For .more information on
Springhouse, meeting dates and
time, classes or any other infor-
mation you may call or contact
Anna Gilliam, 463-7922 or Lois
Scott, 463-2207.


From The
Shelves Of
The
Bookworm
The last two weeks have been
like Christmas and the Fourth
of July combined at Bell Li-
brary. The volunteers thank the
Town of Bell for extending their
lease and agreeing to assist with
repairs of the building. When
the repairs are completed,. the
library will be able to serve the
patrons in the town and commu-
nity more efficiently with an ex-
panded media center and a new
larger children's department.
The week before, the Friends
of the Libraries in Gilchrist
County offered to purchase two.
more computers for Bell Li-
brary. The volunteers really ap-
preciated their offer and gladly'
accepted it.
The adult book I read this
week is another of the three
books I told you about last week,
Solemn Vows, written by Ginny
McBlain.


Quinn and Meredith had been
married only a few days when
his best friend, Steve, and his
wife were killed by a reckless
driver who came up on the
sidewalk and ended their lives
leaving three children, all under
school age. The only family the
young men had known were the
friends they had made while
they were both at Boys Town, a
well-known orphanage for boys.
Quinn and Steve had a solemn
vow together that if either should
die and leave children, the other
would take and care for them.
What would you do if this
happened to you and if you
had just returned from your
honeymoon and were suddenly
faced with three small children
in a two bedroom, one bathroom
apartment and each of you hold-
ing responsible jobs?
Come by Bell Library and
check out our new books.

GAL Program
Looking For
Guardian Angels
The Eighth Judicial Circuit
Guardian ad Litem Program is
currently representing over 900
children who have been abused
or neglected and are invol ed
in the Dependency Court Pro-
cess. Most of them have been
removed from their parent's
custody and are living in a fos-
ter home or with relatives. All'
of them want to have as normal
of a life as possible while going
through this traumatic time. The
majority of these children miss
out on field trips. participating
in school-sports, going to camp
and many other activities due to
a lack of finances.
SIf 3ou wouldd like to make a
difference in a child's life, and
don't have time to be a Guardian
ad Litem volunteer, the Guard-
ian Angel Program is for you!
A Guardian Angel will sponsor
a child financially to help pro-
vide the "extras" that will help
brighten up their life.
There is no requirement of.
how much you have to spend.
For more information about this
exciting new program please

Remember Our
Troops
For those who believe, prayer
is a powerful weapon. It not
only does something for the
"pray-er" but it can also increase
the faith of those who are being
prayed for, especially those who
are in harm's way and protecting
our freedoms which we some-
times take for granted here in
the United States of America.
We all should be consistent in
our prayers for those of our
county who are serving in the
Armed Forces. The following is
a known list of those who are on
active duty and who either have
a residence here or who are rela-
tives of someone who lives here
in Gilchrist County. If you know
of an active military person who
is not listed, please contact the
Gilchrist County Journal or
write a letter to the Editor so
that person can be listed the next
time this article is published.

I Have A Rock In My
Pocket
By: Quitney Kincaid
Trenton Elementary School
Fourth Grade, age 9
The other day I had a rock in
my pocket. The rock came from
my granny's pond. I had named
the rock "Paul." Now as me and
Paul ride home from school I get
this feeling that Paul was not
feeling good. So I took Paul out
of my pocket.
I asked Paul, "Are
you feeling low?"
Paul replied, "I feel out of
place." I asked Paul, "Why do
you feel out,of place?" Paul
said, "It's not fair, I have to be a
rock. I want to be a huinan." .
"No, you would not like be-
ing a human. You have to go to
school: 'Being a rock, you can
be lazy."
Now I remember my mom
saying, "Be glad you are who'
you are. Thank you for helping
me but can you take me back
where, you got me from? I'm
sort of homesick and miss my
family."
So I put Paul back in my
pocket and when I got home I
took Paul back to his family.
We said our "goodbyes" and I
set him down with his family
and walked away with a smile
on m. face.

been a tad mild, even warm as
winters .here go, but it's only the
first week of February and you
know we're bound to see more
frost, more icy windshields, and
more freezing, cold weather.
It's beautiful to behold and
a most welcomed sight, to be-
sure, but here's hoping that Old
Man Winter and his pal Jack
Frost don't nip all this- spring-
time beauty in the bud...pun
intended.
And so with hints of spring in
the air, 24 Joyful Hearts came
together to enjoy God's handi-.
work and the company of good
friends. Several of our gals had
doctor or dentist appointmentss
and we're hoping everything
turned out just fine.
Last meeting's guest, Kim
Weise, asked if we would make
62 Valentines for children, with
whom she's working. So, Mar-
tha Foster, Elaine Nemeth, Bon-
nie Edwards, Diana Lynn, Mar-
vine 'Deer Ann Taylor, Cathy
Strom, and myself, all rolled
up our sleeves and got to work
making the cutest foam love
note valentines. We made 62 for
Kim and 50 for Elaine to take .to
Ayers Health and Rehab Center.
It truly is more blessed to give
than receive...and all God's chil-
dren said, "Amen."
Ruth Wilkerson, who was
still a bit under, the weather,
was crocheting a lovely afghan.
Matty Turner was crocheting
her "thing." Barbara Strom,
'Barbara Ml rick. Ann Mangone,-
and Mary Lou Ryder were all
toiling with love on one of the
quilts on a frame. As the saying'
goes, many hands make light the
work. Evelyn Wood was knit-
ting lap robes for a nursing home
and Ramona High, I believe, was
working on an afghan. Ramona


MEN,
WOME
&


brought her friend, Katy, to vis
and we hope she enjoyed oi
company.
Of course, no meeting wou.
be complete without our Swe(
ish weavers and as usual the
were in rare form. Heidi Kamp
Lu Rowland, Jackie Moore,. ar
the Queen Bee, Alice Binn
were all in their places wil
sunshiny faces. Alice is con
ing right along on my Swedit
weaving. She's such a swee
heart. She knew I'd probab]
never get it finished at the ra
I was going, such a friend. Ar
poor Lu, working away whi
nursing a really sore finger. .S
decided to be the referee in a dc
fight. Stick to your weaving Lu
it's lots more fun than a dog bit
and a tetanus shot.
Lera To0\nse-nd has finished
the top of a lovely quilt she
making for,,I believe, her grea
granddaughter. Each square hi
been painstakingly emnbroidere
in wonderful pastel bouque
of flowers...can't wait to see
finished.
Rita Simcoe had wonderfi
photos to share. We always ei
joy sharing our family; vacation
garden, etc. photos with one ai
other. These were Rita's Chris
mas photos including dolls sh
has made and of course a few
her many, mann cats.
SSoon tummies were rumbling

meeting so all you February ba-
bies better be there for cake and
ice cream.
I recently read a quilting story
about a couple visiting in Cali-
fornia. They were shopping in
a clothing store and came across
a display of garments all made
from recycled quilts. The wom-
an pulled out a jacket to look at,
and "got goose bumps all over."
The jacket had her mother-in-
law's name embroidered on it.
She called her husband over to
look at it. He was stunned. He
also recognized several other
embroidered names as well. All
had been his mother's friends
and all including his mother had
passed away.
They told the clerk of their
find. She recalled hearing that
a man from Texas bought old
quilts at garage sales around the
country.. He, in turn, sold them
to a clothing company, which
made them into garments. dis-
tributed to department stores.
They bought the jacket and be-
gan to investigate the trail of the
quilt. They found one woman,
%\hose name was on the jacket,
that w\as still .living. She was
in her 80s and recalled .'friend-
ship clubs in the 1930s. Each
quilt was made up of friendship.
blocks from the members.
A coincidence you say.: I
think not. Ho\' s that song

Has spring arrived or has
winter started? We have had a

shrubs, trees, fruit trees, grape-
vines, etc.
Fruit trees with low chill hours
are already budding. This could
mean a late freeze could wipe
out this early crop and you will
have a reduced crop later.
I have had several calls on

time to control them without
damaging your grass. If you
haven't been using a weed &
feed, then a 2-4D type broad
leaf weed killer should eliminate-
many of the weeds. Read the la-
bel and best results occur when
the temperature is 60 degrees or
higher. So pick a warm spell to
apply.
Mounds of dirt in your yard
are signs of a small animal we
call a pocket gopher. It is about
the size of a rat and will make
a tunnel, underground and he
brings the soil out and piles it
up. The surest way to catch him
is with a trap. Before dark, rake
down all the mounds. The next
morning, if there is a mound pile,
this is where he is, so dig down
to the tunnel; set your trap and
anchor it good. Usually within
an hour he will be there to seal it :
off and you should catch him.
February and March is the
time to fertilize your lawn. Plant
food should be available by
* April when the grass is ready
to grow.

ORDERLINESS
Is Character
Council's Trait For
February
ORDERLINESS is not a
natural tendency or event. The
second law of thermodynamics
states that without direct inter-
vention, matter goes from order
to disorder. This law applies
to people, too: We always tend
toward disorder. Not only is time
lost by disorganization, but dis-
orderliness also causes people to
grow frustrated, leading to dis-
satisfaction and lower efficiency.
However, there is a special sense
of fulfillment when disorder is
conquered and a person's area
of responsibility is efficiently
arranged. ORDERLINESS:
arranging myself and my sur-
roundings to achieve the greatest
efficiency. ORDERLINESS is
the quality of arranging things
neatly, disposing of things done
in sequence; arranging objects
harmoniously and observant of


law, rule or discipline.
Order comes from the Latin
word ordo, meaning "row; se-
ries." In the late 1500s, the word
order was used to describe the
formation of an army. The term
came to be used as a verb when
troops were ordered to get into
battle formation, or to carry out
a task. The term order always
denotes bringing something into
line with its proper placement
and purpose.
Efficiency is one key to the
success of any business or or-
ganization. There are five "I
Wills" which give practical way
to achieve efficiency through
ORDERLINESS. I will pick up
after myself; keep my work and
play areas clean and neat; put
things back where they belong;
use things only for their intended
purposes; return lost things to
their rightful owners.
When people around you
demonstrate ORDERLINESS
in even the most basic forms,
praise them for their character.
Resist the temptation to praise

achievement; instead, focus on
the character qualities behind
the achievement. Even a child
who has pulled something from
a low-lying shelf or taken toys
out of a toy box can learn to put
the items back.
It is possible for a person to be
so organized for every minute of
every day that he or she reacts to
an authority who gives a new or
adjusted schedule. Flexibility is
"not setting one's hopes or af-
fections on plans or ideas which
can be changed by others."
ORDERLINESS is critical to
accomplishing tasks in an effi-
cient manner even when the task
may change. It is easier to adjust
an organized plan than to work
aimlessly on an assignment.
If you want to enjoy of the
greatest luxuries in life, the
luxury of having enough time,
time to rest, time to think things
through, time to get things done
and know you have done them to
the best of your ability, remem-
ber that the only way to have
enough time is by displaying the
trait of ORDERLINESS,
Benjamin Franklin said, "Take
enough time to think and plan
things in the order of their im-
portance. Your life will take on
a new zest. You will add years
to your life and more life to your
years. Let all your things have
their places; let each part of your
business have its time."
As we've studied ORDERLI-
NESS let us make up our mind
that as we continue to grow in
knowledge of the 49 character
traits, one of which is featured
each month in this column, that
we will continue to be people of
Scharacter,for a County of Char-
acter is a County that Cares.


TIPP Program
S The Gilchrist County School,
Board, in partnership with area
1a agencies, held a TIPP (Truancy
Intervention Partnership Pro-
gram) hearing at the Gilchrist
County Courthouse on the morn-
ing of November 21, 2005. This
program, although still new to
many parents and students of the
Gilchrist County school system,
is in its fourth successful year as
a truancy intervention.
Parents and students are re-
quested to attend this meeting.
after students are identified as
having established absences
-that could be defined, as truant.
By the time these students and
parents have arrived at the TIPP
process, they have already met
with school administrators and
counselors and our Truant Case
Manager, John Vickers./ Mr.
Vickers plays a vital role in this
program and his position is fund-
ed through a grant received from
the Florida State Department of
Juvenile Justice. He feels "Stu-
dents cannot learn if they are not
in school. It benefits everyone
for the student to attend school
on a regular basis."


Catherine Vega, PA-C
Pediatrics


The TIPP meeting is a qua-
si-judicial setting designed
to reduce truancy in schools
by giving parents and students
information regarding the state
statutory guidelines pertaining
to mandatory school attendance.
This process works with the
involvement of the 8th Judicial
Circuit Judge, the State Attor-
ney's Office, Gilchrist County
School Board, Gilchrist County
Sheriff's Office and the State
Department of Juvenile Justice.
During this hearing procedure,
these agencies share information
on the laws regarding school at-
tendance, their involvement as
to enforcing these laws, and the
consequences to both parent and
student when the student fails to
attend school.
After this meeting, if students
continue to collect absences,
the Superintendent may elect to
submit a truancy petition and the
family is court ordered to appear
in front of the Judge. This may
result in serious sanctions to both
parent and student. The school
system does everything it can to
encourage student attendance.
However, if attendance does not'
improve, the school system has
no choice, as defined by state
statutes, but to file a tru-
ancy petition with the court
to bring about a change in
student attendance.

On Friday, January 20th, 71
students in grades 2, 3, 4, and 5

of fun. The selected students

swinging, sliding, and "king of
the hill." Some children chose
sidewalk chalk. The drawings
were beautiful.
Then, back to the BES cafeto-

Log Cabin Quilters
Log Cabin Quilters met Thurs-
day, February 2nd, at the Levy
County Quilt Museum. What
a day we all had going through
boxes and bags of scraps. Patri-
cia Yoe brought in so much that
her mother had and it was won-
derful fabric that many quilts
can be made. Carl Rolling, who
lives in Winter Haven, brought
in boxes and bags of curtain and
-upholstery fabric that we make
tacked comforters out of. Carl
has been doing this for five years
and he is our interior decorator
and he donates the leftovers to
us. Many crafts are made out of
donations that are brought in and
this gives us time to make some
for the quilt show in December.
Time is getting shorter for our
trip to Tampa to see if we have
a ribbon on the quilts and crafts.
We do have a few spaces on the
bus. The cost is $19 and you get
in free. We leave Old Town at 6:
30 a.m., Chiefland at 7:00 a.m.,
and Williston at 7:30 a.m. We
stop at Wildwood for breakfast
and arrive at about 11:00 am.
We leave Tampa at 4:30 p.m.,
tired and ready to come home.
Call 493-2801 if you are looking
for a fun day.
Lunch was so good with
greens and corn bread. Cheese
and mac., broccoli salad, corn
pudding, garlic pasta, slaw, and
the dessert table was full of too
many goodies. We had 23 mem-
bers and five guests present.

Choosing a Realtor
- Now that you have decided to sell your home, who do you entrust one of the
biggest'investments in your life to handle?
- Nowadays there seems to be Realtors on every comer. Everyone promises you
the same results, I will sell your home the fastest, and for the most money.
Sounds great right? Well how do you know who will be able to live up to their
end of the bargain, and who will not?
- There are many ways for you to research a Realtor. One of the best is by
visiting owww.myflorida.com on that web site you can research a Realtors
license, and know exactly who you are dealing with.
- When you do decide to list your home interview at least three Realtors. Ask
them specific questions, ask for copies of their ads, look at their web site, is it
easy to navigate? Can you find their listings easily? You want to find out how
much reprcrenitiion you are getting before, during and after the sale.
- The most important thing is to choose a Realtor that you feel comfortable with,
they are going to be your partner for the listing period and right up to the
closing table.

Character Council's
Personality Of The
Month For
February

then the only thing left would
be unfulfilled commitments and
disappointing people he desires
to encourage. This industrious
man is not only the JROTC in-
structor, but he. also. volunteers
as a church youth leader, is a
member of his church's men's
organization and even helps with
funding the needs of a "sister"
church in Guatemala.
1st Sgt. Meinholz believes that
being a part of the JROTC helps
him to not only model ORDER-,
LINESS and leadership, but it
allows him "to step back and su-
pervise the students as they learn
in the safe environment of the
program. They also get a feel for
who they are, for once the young
people get out in the world and
in an unfriendly environment,
they will have learned through
the quality of ORDERLINESS
to clean up after themselves,"
so to speak. Meinholz' motto is
"Do the right thing." He adds,
that "a person does not have
to be great at everything. By
showing ORDERLINESS and
keeping things simple, it helps a
person to help him/herself."
The Sergeant made a plug
for the JROTC by saying that
the program does not cost the
Gilchrist County School System
anything. The Army, even his
salary, pays all uniforms,.com-
puters and resources. He was
pleased to add that since he's
been with the program, the num-
ber has grown from about 40
members to well over 140. (The
annual Veteran's Day program
sponsored each year by the Bell
JROTC is written, performed
and carried out by the students,
being supervised by 1st. Sgt.
Meinholz.) The sheer increase
in numbers proves that young
people are looking for a change


in their lives for the better and
see that what their instructor
is teaching them, and not only
through ORDERLINESS, but a
whole host of other attributes,
is. assisting each of them in
becoming citizens of a County
of Characicr because Gilchrist
County cares.
