Bell School Has Successful

Evening Of Arts Dinner Theatre


Town Of Bell Welcomes Dan

Cavanah As New City Manager


By Anna Wild
Dan Cavanah has been a
resident of Bell for the past 10
years and truly loves the people
in Gilchrist County. Many of us
know Mr. Cavanah because of
his Guinness World Record for
the most stick horses; others
know him as Mr. Dan from
Scaffs in Bell. A little over four
weeks ago he was appointed to
the position. of Bell's Town
Manager and has been having a
great time since. Changes were
needed to compensate for
changes in the area so the Town
Council created the new
position .of Town Manager
which is not an elected position.
The council felt that it was
important to have an individual
as the town manager who may
stay on long term. The position
of Town Clerk is an elected
position and Mrs. Deanna
Crews did not seek re-election
of her position as Town Clerk.
Mrs. Patsy Akins-Avery was
appointed by the Town Council
to oversee this position until the
next election.
As the Bell Town Manager
Mr. Cavanah will direct the
administration of the Town
government as prescribed by the
Mayor and Town Council,
Town Codes, and Florida
statutes. He will manage and
supervise all departments,
functions, and offices of the
Town to achieve established
goals within available
resources. His position is part-
time with 30 hours per week
salary (not eligible for
overtime). He will handle all of
the many duties that the Town
is responsible for such as;
occupational license, building
permits, property zoning
information, rental of the
community center, suggestions,
complaints, providing
leadership and direction in the
development and instillation of
various plans, maintaining
public relations, act as
purchasing agent and oversee
the bid process, prepare
preliminary annual budget,
monitor revenues and expenses,
ajpd the list goes on and on.


Patsy Akins-Avery, Town Clerk and Dan Cavanaugh is
the newBell Town Manager..


Mr. Cavanah was approved
for: such tasks due to his
impressive background. He had
worked for Scaffs in Bell for the
past 3 years as a manager, for
5 years prior to that he was the
general manager of Team in
Focus in Lake City, he worked
for Tasco Sales as their Director
of Operations and was with J.
Byrons as distribution director
prior to that. So you could say
he knows how to manage a
business and speak to the
public. Mayor Estes is very
impressed with Dan's
performance, he has come in
and reorganized the office and
made it look as if he has been
here for years. Mr. Cavanah
explained that he still has a lot
of work to do, "some of the
developments were looking at.
will streamline how we do
things." These developments
include implementing the use of
"Quick Books" going forward
as well as imputing Town data
since 2004. Mr. Cavanah will
also be working with the North
Central Florida Planning
Council to help update the Land
Development Regulation for the

On Thursday, February 9,
2006, the Bell Middle/High
School hosted their second An-
nual Evening of the Arts Dinner
Theatre. Once again the Bell
Elementary School Cafetorium
was decorated in lovely Italian
Bistro d6cor and the evening was
made all the more authentic with
the mustaches, hats, and ties of
the many waiters who served
drinks and deserts throughout
the dinner. The meal was exqui-
sitely made by Lisa Boutwell,
head chef, and her many assis-
tants. And the evening's dinner
atmosphere was filled with in-
strumental music selections and
vocal performances while guests
dined on lasagna, spaghetti and
meatballs, salad, breadsticks and
yummy deserts.
After dinner the crowd was
entertained by the performances
of the Bell Drama Club. These
young people chose "Firsts" to
be their evening play and they
each took a turn in directing an
act. Their performance was. out-
standing; it was hard to believe

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd
Throughout the year I receive
requests for a repeat for what
has now become a traditional
Valentine's Day column on how
the fairer sex can best tackle
SWall Street.
Long time readers of this
column may recognize some of
the material from prior years.
Please bear %\ ith me because the
theme is more important today
than it was when I first broached
the subject over 11 years ago.
For the men reading this,
what follows might encourage
you tolhelp that special lady in
your life become more proficient
in dealing with the suspender
crowd. '
Let us start u ith the hypothesis
that every woman needs to
establish her ow.n investment
portfolio. a portfolio that she
manages single handed) using a
deep discount brokerage firm.
For proof, consider these
gruesome statistics. Women,
reaching' the age of 65 can
expect to live for an additional
25 years. That means they have
a better chance of ou li\ ing their
financial resources than their
male counterparts. r
It gets worse. 20 percent of:
the female population will never
marry. For those that do marry,
half will divorce. Within the first:
year after a divorce, a woman's
income usuallJ drops by an
average of 30 percent.
Failing divorce. 75 percent of,
all married women are eventually
widowed. Of those widows who
find they are suddenly near the
poverty line, 80 percent were
doing fine before their husbands
died. That is a grim prospect to
say the least ,: ,:|, .
The good-news, is :hat onc a
women ,decies.~to" take control
of her financial destiny, the sky
is the limit. Yet, even the best
of intentions sometimes go
astray. For example, statistics
indicate that the average woman
who saves puts aside about 1.5
percent of her income. That is not
enough. I recommend, and most
experts agree, that everyone who
earns a wage should put aside no
less than 10 percent of his or her
gross income each year.
Do not write to me telling me
that you cannot do that, or that
it "hurts" too much. I can assure
you that spending your golden
years at the Golden.Arches will
hurt a lot more.
Women also have a tendency
to invest in safe, insured
money market accounts and
certificates of deposit. I urge you
to reconsider such a course of
action. Statistics show that stocks
have outperformed all other


After I received a letter last
week telling me how I should
write the Just Squthern Cooking
column I..now realize that
everyone who has moved here

of life. Bless .their hearts. So I
"think-I'll explain just how very

distant grandfathers pulled out
of Maryland just after the
Revolutionary War. He moved
to the edge of civilization
known as the Alabama Ter-
ritory. Long before the War
Between the States. aka Civil'
War another of my distant
grandfathers homesteaded in,
Jackson, County, Florida. A
couple of generations later the\

even bother to go into all the

:forms of'investment. 'I advocate
that anyone under the age of

A Letter To
The Editor
My Dad and Mdm, Carl. and
Geneva Cornwell, have been
very faithful. in their correspon-
dence and "care" packages to
me as I have been serving with
my Army National Guard Unit
in Afghanistan. -- -
Recentl the\ sentni. sme.
questions by E-mail regarding.
my personal observations and
experiences while in the country
and with the Afghan people. To
help my parents, as well as the
people of Gilchrist County bet-
ter understand some truths about
what's happening presently in
Afghanistan, I relate to everyone
my opinion as follows.
I feel. that the Lnited States
Forces are doing a lot of good
for.the country. The president
of Afghanistan sees it and knows
it and wants to go forward with
the rebuilding. There is still a
lot of work to be done, though.
Because this country which has
been in constant wars and con-
flict for 30+ years 'is going to
take a while to rebuild it to the
way it needs to be.
The presence of the Ameri-
cans here is highly respected
among the elders who have
lived through the last 30 years
of turmoil. They appreciate
everything .that the Americans


are doing for them. It is the
3 younger generation that has ne\-
'er seen a Russian or an) other
invader kill their family in cold
'blood, that stirs up trouble here.
Those are the ones that need to
be educated on Afghan historN.
SAbout 40}ears ago. this coun-
try was -a very excellent place
to vacation and is filled' with:
all sorts of historical sites: The
countryside is \er\ beautiful
and green, but war and invasion
make for changes. Afghanistan
was -one of the largest % heat ex-
porters.in the world because of
its fertile ground There are also
lots of precious stones here that
are highly valuablee to any gem
collector. Gold and silver is very
plentiful here also.
I believe that this country
has potential to let the past be
the past and look toward to the
.future and put themselves back
on the map. That is where the
local elders have their work cut
.out for them. The\ know why
the U.S. Forces are here. They
know the American military, and
civilians workers as well, are
not invaders of their country, but
we are all here to assist them in
rebuilding. The biggest threat is
impro\ ised"bombs (hat are boili
Sin a mud-hut some. here.and
placed out at night.
One of the reasons that we
have been so successful in
Afghanistan is the fact that the
Green Berets were allowed to
do their job in the beginning
without interference from the'
conventional military staff in
Washington.. In the beginning
phase of the war here, they knew
that they were about to enter into:.
an unconventional gorilla war,
and the best people' for a job like
that is the Special Forces Green
Berets. The Berets were able to,
win over the hearts and minds of
the Northern Alliance and defeat
and destroy the Taliban and
Al Qaida in less than 100 days
with less than 200 Green Berets.
Once we get the people to the
point that we are not needed as
much, the U.S. force strength
will be cut just like it was in
Bosnia. There are a lot of good
things going on that you will
not hear or read about though
the American syndicated news


media. I hope that the readers
of this article of mine will come
away with a better, understand-
ing of the way things. are in.
Afghanistan: for those i-n the
U.S. Military, like me. are doing
their best to keep our American
freedoms free, which we all hold
so'dear.
God bless America. God bless -
you.

(Kent Heaton)


Pride is a malicious beast that fills men with
arrogance and self-importance. Self worth is the only
motivation that drives their mind with a disdain for
others who are less equal. Pride is at the root of every
sin as man exalts himself above the will of God. Man
fills himself with, self-knowledge and conceit to
believe there is no greater being than he is. He may
derive his egotism from his accomplishments, his
wealth or his knowledge. For all its worth, pride is
likened to "clouds and wind without rain" (Proverbs
25:14).
The apostle Paul exhorts the brethren in the
epistle of Galatians to be mindful of others and to
bear the burdens of others (Galatians 6). The prideful
man is not concerned about the burdens of others and
will not seek to relieve his brother. Paul declares the
truth of pride when he writes, "For if a man think
himself to be something, when he is nothing, he
deceiveth himself" (Galatians 6:3). Many men think
of themselves as "something." As pride lifted up the
spirits of early man to follow wickedness (Genesis
6:5) and later to "make us a name" (Genesis 11:4),
so men today find the poison apple of deceit filled in
the feast of pride.
The deception of pride is that man is nothing.
"Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is
more hope of a fool than of him" (Proverbs 26:12).
The irony of man's conceit is that he is nothing more
than dust on a scale when compared to the Creator
(Isaiah 40:15). What would man be without the
power of God? Who makes the sun to rise and set it
is not in the power of man to direct these affairs
(Matthew 5:45). Daniel reminded Belshazzar the king
that the Most High God held his breath in His hand


(Daniel 5:23). What is man in the sight' of the Lord
God of heaven? Man can never see God when he
looks at himself.
John described the three-fold nature of sin in 1 John
2:16 as being "the lust of the flesh and the lust of
the eyes and the vainglory of life." Eve fell to the
vainglory of life when she looked at the fruit and
desired to be wise seeking to exalt herself above the
will of God (Genesis 3). Men have followed the same
path to look at the fruit of this world and believe that
wisdom will come in the pursuit of self-conceit. Pride
only produces shame (Proverbs 11:2) and brings
about contentions (Proverbs 13:10).
When man exalts himself, he cannot see the sacrifice
of Christ. The greatest tragedy of pride is that it
cannot bring a man to accept a crucified Savior (1
Corinthians 1:18-25). Lifting oneself up in pride will
not allow us to reach for the towels of humility in
washing the feet of others (John 13). Entrance into
the kingdom of God can only be given to those who
are "poor in spirit" (Matthew 5:3) and who possess
the heart of a child (Matthew 18:1-6). Bearing one
another's burdens and proving his own work will
bring about the proper attitude of humility toward
fellow men (Galatians 6:1-10). We must possess the
spirit of Christ who "existing in the form of God,
counted not the being on an equality with God a
thing to be grasped, but emptied himself 'taking the
form of a servant" (Philippians 2:6,7).
Man is nothing without God. Man lilling himself up
will be as the Chinese say, "He who stands on a
pedestal has no place but to step off." The Lord said it
this way: "Pride goes before destruction, and a
haughty spirit before fall" (Proverbs 16:18).

ARE YOUR PROPERTY TAXES PAID???
Your property is one of your most valuable assets and the Gilchrist County Tax
Collector's Office wants to help you understand the consequences of not paying
your property taxes.
Please realize, the failure to pay your property taxes will result in a lien being
placed on your property and additional charges and interest will be applied to
your tax bill.
Property taxes become delinquent April 1st of each year. (Additional monies
will be applicable on this date).
If your current taxes remain unpaid by May 1st, payment to our office must b.e
by money order, cashier's check or cash. (NO PERSONAL CHECKS
ACCEPTED DURING THE MONTH OF MAY FOR 2005 TAXES).
On of before 'June 1st, all remaining unpaid taxes will be sold at auction (VIA
THE INTERNET) as a tax certificate and a lien recorded on your property.
When a certificate is sold on your property, the holder of the certificate actually
is paying your taxes and drawing interest on their investment. A certificate is
valid for seven (7) years, but the holder of such tax certificate can start a TAX
DEED procedure against the property after two (2) years, if the property still
remains unpaid by land owner, these procedures could result in the loss of your
property.
PLEASE REMEMBER: IF YOU ARE THE CURRENT PROPERTY
OWNER, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOUR PROP-
ERTY TAXES ARE PAID. (CHAPTER 197.122 F.S.) For your convenience
our office has a website that you can check periodically as to the status of your
property. (www.gilchristtaxcollector.com).
To avoid additional charges and interest, and the potential risk of losing your
property, the Gilchrist County Tax Collector's Office wants to remind you that
payment must be in our office by March 31 st or if paying during the month of
May payment must be by cashier's check or money order or cash only.
If any questions, please feel free to cal the office at 352-463-3178 or 800-240-
3207.
Thank you,

On Wednesday, we welcomed
Carmen Buelvas Critchlow, an
author, to meet our patrons and
sign the books they had' pur-
chased from her. It is always
thrilling to meet an .author and
read the books they have written
and have had published.
Did you 'know we are open
four hours on Saturday and
Monday? Being open on Satur-
day makes the computers avail-
able to those who can not visit
on a week day.
We are growing! With the as-
sistance of the Bell Town Coun-
cil we will be able to expand our
facilities, to enlarge our chil-
dren's department and the media
center with two more computers
on line. With this expansion we.
will need more volunteers.

A Mentor Moment
In the world today, there are
considerable challenges that
our youth face daily that you
or I may not understand, but
that are REAL and staring each
young person in the face. I often
think back to a simpler time, a
memory of easy going summer
days on the back porch drink-
ing lemonade with family...the
laughter would permeate the
atmosphere to an almost exhila-
rated infectious uncontrollable
noise. Or perhaps chasing the
evening darkness with mason
'jars for the most fireflies you
could catch. Those were the
days...and my childhood memo-
ries. I want that for my girls,
and for the many young people
I encounter every day during my
job here with Gilchrist'County
School Board. Knowing full
well each individual student
has the potential to succeed and
BE all they can be. However,
in today's timeframe, you must
climb and perhaps jump over
the many layers of.past confu-
sion, poor choices, and the many
whateverr" that are plaguing
and holdingg that proverbial wall
:inplace. As I share this, I also
know within my heart, that one
person cannot impact another's
life alone. That is w\hy Mentor-
ing is the dri ing force in m% life
and my job today.
But that is enough about my-
self, I want to share with you a
very special individual with n
our community that is doing far,
more for our youth than I could
e'er dream of.
,Mr. Charles Scott. a Mentor
%with the Take Stock In Chil-
dren scholarship program. has
continued to make a difference
in our community. In the past
five years with this program he"
has mentored fi\e students. t\wo

ago from Bell High School. Mr.
Scott has provided food baskets
for my students o er the past
fibe years from his associa-
lion with the united Methodist

The Humane Society
Of Gilchrist County
Is Your Dog An Excessive
Barker?
If your dog is an excessive
barker, it can result in neighbor-
hood disputes, and ybu could
be violating an animal control
ordinance in your county. Since
your dog may be doing most
of his barking when you aren't
home, then it's a good idea
to talk over the problem with
.your neighbors. It's normal for
dogs to bark from time to time,
but if your dog barks a good
majority of the time, then you
have a problem with your dog
and probably your neighbors as
well.
The first thing you need to do
is to determine the reason why
your dog barks. Most dogs bark
because they are left alone for
long periods of time and miss
human interaction. Young dogs
that are under three years of age
will usually bark just to release
excess energy. They need lots
of interaction with people or an-
other dog to play with to satisfy
their excess energy. More time
spent with your pet will help.
Taking your dog for a walk, or
a dog training class, can also
be enjoyable for you and make
your dog a better pet. If your
dog barks at people walking
by, say "quiet" and interrupt his
barking by making a loud noise
to distract 'him. A soda can filled
with pennies is good for this.
Just shake it and usually the
dog will stop barking. As soon


as your dog stops barking, make
sure you say "good dog" or some
other spoken communication to
let your dog know that you are
happy with the quiet. You can
even give your dog a treat to
reinforce this behavior. So when
your dog is quiet make sure you
give him lots of attention and
praise to reinforce his good be-
havior.

s TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTYr

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?
A. Tangible Personal .Property is eter>thing ,other than real
eltie that lias value by i:'elf It o:uld indiudc things such as
'furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, household appliances,
signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies; leased
equipment and any other equipment used in a business or to earn
income.
Q. Who must file?.
A. Anyone in possession of assets on Januanr I 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 inust 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 Tak. Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your
obligation to file.
Q. How can I obtain this form?
A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible
Personal Property owners. If you do not get one, contact the
Property Appraiser's Office.
Q. What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file a
return?
A, Yes; if you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out
items 1 through 9 on the return, and attach an explanation of
why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and
rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies,
rented equipment or household goods. '
Q. If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return?
A. Yes, if you were not in business on January I of the taxing
year, follow this procedure:
1)On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and
the manner in which you disposed of your business assets.
Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.
2) Sign and date the return.
3) Have your signature notarized.
4) Mail the return back to this office.
Q. What is an office or field review assessment?
A. When a tax return is not filed by April 1 we are required to
place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents
an estimate based on the value of business with similar
equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your
responsibility to file an accurate return.
Q. What if I don't agree with the assessed value that appears on
the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in
August of each year?
A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If
you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the
actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the
opportunity to review all the pertinent facts.
Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year -
Who is responsible for the taxes?
A. The new owner is responsible, however if there is insuffi-
cient property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January 1
would be responsible for the difference. Most title companies
do not do a search of the tangible assets of a business. You
should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent
to avoid problems in this area.


To inquire for more information about,
Tangible Personal Property please contact:

Gilchrist County Property Appraiser

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

Q. What if I receive more than one tax return?
A. All returns must be sent back. If you have more than one
location, the assets of each should be listed separately on each return.
Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully depreciated andL
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 lato. A 15% penalty is required for
unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO RETURN IS
FILED.

HELPFUL HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
* File the original return ith thi office (with name and
account number preprinted. js -oon. as possible before
April 1. Be sure to sign and date your return.
* Work with your accountant or C.P.A. to identify any
equipment that may have been "Physically Removed".
List those items in the appropriate space on your return.
* If you have an asset listing or depreciation schedule
that identifies each piece of equipment, attach it to your
complete return.
* Do not use vague terms such as "various" or "same as
last year".
* .It is to your advantage to provide a breakdown of
assets since depreciation on each item may vary.
* Please include your estimate of fair market value and
the original cost of the item on your return. They are
important considerations in determining an accurate
assessment.
* Additional information regarding filing is provided in
the instructional section of the return itself.
* If you sell your business, go out of business, or move
to a new location, please inform this office. It will enable
us to keep timely, accurate records.

Schools Invited To
Take Part In
Programs Teaching
Community Service'
While Raising Money
To Fight Cancer
The Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society is urging local schools
to participate in its 10th Annual
Pennies for Patients Program,
which teaches children caring,
sharing, respect for others and
the value of community service
while raising money to find
cures for leukemia, lymphoma
and myeloma. The need for
cures is critical as Leukemia'
causes more deaths than any
other cancer among children
and young adults under the age
of 20.


During the dates of January
9 through March 31, 2006, stu-
dents across Northern Florida
are encouraged to collect money
including pennies and other
spare change; something ev-
eryone has, yet nobody misses.
The individual school's program
will run for three consecutive
weeks, chose by the school's
program coordinator. The top
fund-raising classroom in each
school raising a minimum of
$300, is awarded a catered lunch
of choice, not to exceed $50. In
addition to the catered luncheon,
schools also have the opportu-
nity to be awarded other great
incentives such as gift cards.
"Pennies for Patients dem-
onstrates to children that,their
efforts can really make a dif-
ference," said Cathy Cherry,


Executive Director of the North-
ern Florida Chapter. "Last year,
8 million students in more than
16,000 schools acrogs the coun-
try raised more than $13 million.
In Northern Florida, students
raised over $75,000."

National Skin Care
Institute News
The National Skin Care Insti-
tute brings you information arid
advice from some of this na-
tion's leading dermatologists, as
Well as other resources including
the Merriam Webster Medical
SDictioiiari :and. r the eMadicine
Medical Enayelopediaif3)Avwfth
over 4;000 articles about dis-
eases, tests, symptoms, injuries.
and surgeries.
With the emergence of the
Internet there are now literally.
tens of thousands of web sites
. that offer "natural," "herbal,"
"at home," and "holistic" treat-
ments. While much of this infor-
mation about, natural skin care
is very helpful and worthwhile,
some of it suggests treatments
that are simple not as effective
as they claim to be, and in some'
cases can even cause more skin
dr other health problems than
they claim to solve.
Our goal is to- provide you
with treatments and natural skin
care products th t have been
evaluated by high1, experiencedd
and recognized heai. care pro-
fessionals who special. in skin
care dermatologists.
SMany of us feel that the 'DA
(United States Food and D. .
Administration) is unfairly iti
fluenced by this nation's biggest
drug companies and the purpose
of actually 'protecting us against
unsafe drugs has lessened in
their list of priorities.
With the billions of dollars
now being spent by these big
drug companies to lull us into the
idea that their drugs are our best
road to health, and demanding
San ever increasing percentage of
our incomes, we feel there is a
great need to provide "natural",
"herbal", "at home" and "holis-
tic" treatments and products that
have been evaluated and shown
to be safe ard effective by lead-
ing dermatologists.
At the same time we offer un-
biased advice about your skin
care, when to see your doctor,
and what drugs to ask him or.
her for completely free from
the influence of pharmaceutical
companies. Many people would
prefer effective and natural skin
care options to most of these
drugs because some of their
side effects are often worse
than the diseases that they are
supposed to treat.
We welcome your com-
ments and suggestions. If you
have a skin care treatment or
method that you would like
to offer, please email us at
info@skincarenet.org. Visit
this web site often, as we will
be continually adding to and
updating the content.

FWC Creates More
Family Hunting
Opportunities
Families will have more op-
portunities to hunt together
on public lands under a rule
passed by the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission (FWC) in Gainesville
Wednesday.
Four additional wildlife man-
agement areas have added "fam-
ily hunts" to their list of hunting
opportunities for next season.
Those areas are Andrews and
Devil's Hammock, both in Levy
County, in the North Central
Region; Dinner Island Ranch,
in Hendry County, in the South
Region; and Lafayette Creek, a
new area in Walton County, in
the Northwest Region.
The family hunt format is
a weekend hunt, intended to
provide mentoring adults and
youths with exclusive opportu-
nities to hunt together on public
lands. One adult and up to two
youths can take part in these
opportunities by obtaining a no-
cost family quota hunt permit.
To participate, youths must be


between the ages of 8 and 15,
and adults must be over 18 years
old. Youths must hunt under the
supervision of the adult, and
adults may only hunt in the pres-
ence of at least one youth.
There will be a total of five
wildlife management areas of-
fering family hunts next season,
including Matanzas, in St. Johns
County, in the Northeast Region,
which ran the successful pilot
program last year.
"The Commission recog-
nizes the importance of passing
down the hunting tradition,"
quota hunt coordinator Eddie
White said. "We are making a
concerted effort to expand and
maximize these opportunities
across the state."
To apply for these fam-
ily hunts, interested parties
must submit applications June
20 July 7 at any license agent,
county tax collector's office, or
online at MvFWC.com/license.
Family quota hunt permit work-
sheets will be available in early
June at MyFWC.com/hunting.

The purpose of our pond
workshops is to help regulators,

.quality. Dr. Mark Clark, IFAS

sistant Professor in the UF Soils
and Water Science Department,
is one of the leaders in this field
and will conduct the workshops.

his expertise available for these
pond workshops and know you
will benefit greatly from what he
has to share.
Each of the workshops will
have both a classroom compo-
nent and hands-on activity, with
a tour being substituted for the
hands-on work at the March 1.
workshop.
This is a great opportunity
for all to learn new ideas and
methods regarding stormwater
ponds. The workshops are spon-

David Miller (Duke)
Lang Announces
Candidacy For
Election As Gilchrist
County Court Judge
(Continued from Page One)
truly appreciate your support'
in electing me to serve you
as your next Gilchrist County
Court Judge in the upcoming
election. Again, I believe that
you will find based upon my
experience in the practice of law
that I possess the qualifications
necessary for consistent, faithful
and impartial performance of the
duties of this important office.
Thank you very much for your-
consideration, help and support.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
David Miller (Duke) Lang


A Letter To
The Editor
Although a formal war has not
been declared, the casualties are
mounting and it is time to quit
pretending there is no cofiflict..
Where and when was the pro-
verbial first shot fired you may
ask? Well individuals involved
in the vocational programs of
the Gilchrist County schools are
not sure, but one thing is certain,
vocational programs no longer


have a good relationship with
the superintendent's office,.and
are losing enrollment.
The latest strike came to the
Bell and Trenton Ag depart-
ments over vacant land they
had used for parking cars these
last ten years. The Gilchrist
County Commissioners previ-
ously owned the vacant land and
had allowed Bell and Trenton Ag
departments use of the property.
The land traded ownership to the'
Gilchrist County School Board,
and before the school board
could meet to make known the
plans for the vacant lAnd or
get any input from the users of
the land, specifically Bell and
Trenton Ag Departments and
the Sheriff's Office, the property
was plowed, planted in pines,
and fenced. What is up with that
you have to ask? Was it the goal
of the School Board to disrupt
the workings of the Chapters
and the Sheriff's Office? Prob-
ably not, it was more likely a
spiteful act preformed by Su-
perintendent Vickers because
His plans for the property did
not prevail. Why are vocational
programs such a sullied concept
in Gilchrist County suddenly?
When the State has asked each
County to tell them what they
(the county) would do.if the
State gave specific funds to be
used in vocational programs?
Obviously, the State :believes.


-the vocational programs are of
value.

Individuals also felt let down
by the School Board members.
Board members need to stop
making excuses for how things
have become and get some
backbone and be what they
once were. The community is
yearning for your return to ac-
tion, pro-action; your ideas have
long been supported in the now
suffering vocational programs.
Your involvement is essential
to programs (health, business,
mechanics, agriculture and
drafting) your actions will make
the difference. There are a lot
of people out there that want to
talk to you about the troubles in
our programs: there are a lot of
people who still ha\e confidence
in you, it just seems to have
slipped.
I will see you at the next
scheduled meeting. where I
will silently take any rebut.
'There is no way Iwould write
this and not look each of you in
the eye. I also realize that as we
have expectations of you, you
should e.\pect us to be involved
and not just sound off in some
article.

A Letter To The Food
Editor
This is in response to the letter
to the editor about the new food
column. I am a Gilchrist County
resident. I have traveled north,
south, east and west from shore
to shore. I have also traveled
to Hawaii and Europe. I have
eaten in some very fancy
restaurants who served some of
the finest foods available. I have
also eaten in some real "dives."
In both types of restaurants, I
found food that was beyond
compare and food that I would
not recommend tb anyone!
While I can understand that
we are looking toward lower-fat
cooking in America, I believe
the food column is more about
the "story" of the food rather
than the food and recipe itself.
'This is, after all, a small town
newspaper and we can take that
liberty and isn't it wonderful
that we have that freedom!
While I have eaten all over
the world, my favorite place and
food was when I put my feet at
my Mama's table where she
ser ed grits, s% amp cabbage and'
fried mullet (fresh, not frozen).
Tern Andrews
Bell


A Letter To
The Editor
I was shocked that you chose
to print such tripe and equally
shocked at the ignorance
demonstrated by the writer, one
"Gloria B. Richards of Bell."
First and foremost we should
point out to Ms. Richards that
the title of the column is "JUST
SOUTHERN COOKING," not
how they cook somewhere else.
Ms. Richards also rudely'
casts dispersions on the column
editor's alleged lack of world
travel as though:this were some
.requirement for writing about
Just Southern Cooking. Well I
have traveled' widely including
to all the continents and US
States. Most everywhere I have
traveled and lived, I have eaten
the local delicacies and have
strong opinions for and against
such things as caviar in Russia
and camel-hock stew in Tunisia,
but when I:see a column in
a small local. Florida count\
newspaper titled as this one is,
I don't expect to read, nor do I
e\ en care to read about how they
do it somewhere else.
Perhaps you see by no%% that
I am sick and tired of hearing
"we just don't do it like this back
where I came from." or "they
don't, live like this in :- --_
(any northern state ."

misses the point and further

A Letter To
The Editor
What Are We Really Doing To
Ourselves?
Do you remember that day
when you were' behind that per-
son in line or on the road, or on
the phone feeling that the person
is holding you up for some rea-
son or. another and taking up
,your time? How\ dare the\? Just
maybe if they could just move'
a little faster; we all have been
that \wa sometime in our life, if
not like that \way today and every
da). We know that we are not
a bad person and we all want to
be treated kindly So why do ve
all continue to treat each other
in the way we do? We all make
mistakes so N\ h is it so hard t .
be nice to others?
Who kno s. but we can do
something about it. Let's make
ourselves proud. Give in to that ,
unkind person and see how in
time you'll see the rewards.
Come oin, let's just' try a little
.harder today and ma)be tomor-
ro\w w ill be so much brighter.

comical and a real joy to watch.
'The Dinner Theatre is' a'maj0r
fund raising event for.the Band

collected from area businesses
to hold the event and over 150
tickets were sold in advance..
This- year's final tally has not
yet been determined but Debbie
Norton-Aronowicz was happy
to say they had a larger turn out
than last ear and this ear they
sold ad space in their program
and also had sponsors for the
event. Debbie wanted to thank
everyone for all their hard work,
and a special thank % ou to David
(Boosters VP), Penny, and Allen
Aderholt for helping with the
decorations. Thank you Rhonda
Spears, Boosters Secretary,. for
your work on the program and
Rick Reed, Assistant Principal
at BHS, for managing the audio
.at the event. And a big thanks to
everyone who came out to sup-
port the Arts Programs.


"Seeds Of Hope" To
Rebuild Agricultural
Education and FFA
Programs In
Hurricane-Ravaged
Gulf States
National FFA President
Jackie Mundt recently an-
nounced that a fund-raising ef-
fort, "Seeds of Hope" to rebuild
agricultural education and FFA
programs in the Gulf states of
Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala-
bama and Florida hit hard by
Hurricane Katrina has been im-
plemented. Details can be
found on the National FFA Or-
ganization web site:
www.FFA.org.
Partnering with Team Ag Ed,
including the National Associa-
tion of Agricultural Educators


(NAAE) and the National
'Council for Agricultural Educa-
tion, FFA will use "Seeds of
Hope" to fund a sustained, long-
term rebuilding effort to put
agricultural education programs
and FFA chapters back on their
feet in the shortest time possi-
ble. Currently, an estimated
120 FFA chapters and schools,
5,000 students and their fami-
lies, and about 150 agricultural
education teachers have experi-
enced severe damage or total
destruction to their homes, fa-
cilities and school projects, in-


cluding human and personal
property loss.
"The National FFA Organiza-
tion and agricultural education
community are mobilizing relief
efforts across the nation to help
our people along the Gulf Coast,
and we have seen a marvelous
outpouring of generosity, initia-
tive and assistance," said Dr.
Larry D. Case, national FFA
advisor.. "We want to fast-
forward to the future through a
sustained effort to rebuild our
programs and restore educa-
tional opportunities to students."
Ini issuing the. call. to FFA
chapters for the rebuilding cam-
paign, Mundt asked them to
bring funds raised to the 78"
National FFA Convention in
Louisville, Kentucky October
26'h through 29f;. There, they
will be entered on the "Seeds of
Hope List of Heroes" support-
ing the Ag Ed/FFA hurricane
rebuilding effort. The final tally
will be announced at the end of
the convention on Saturday,
October 29th.
"This year's theme for the
convention is 'Living to Serve,'
and we expect the Seeds of
Hope campaign, to be the most
critical service activity of the
year," said Doug Loudenslager,
national FFA Chief operating
officer.
In a letter written sent to the
National FFA, agri-sciehce
teacher J. Wesley Graham from
Purvis High School in Southern
Lamar County, Mississippi,
provided qne example of the
hurricane's impact on agricul-
tural. education and FFA pro-
grams:
"We were greatly affected.
My agriculture 'classroom and
shop were -destroyed. Our fish
hut making area was in the
shop. The school officials are
saying that xve may start back in
October, but no one knows.
Tuesday after the storm passed,
I made it to the shop and just
stood there in disbelief. All that
we had worked so hard to build
in the three years I have taught
was gone. Students were very
upset. We found our FFA ban-
ner and the scrapbook and laid
them out to dry. Now all we
can do is move on and try to put
this behind us. Students are in
the community helping they
have to! We live in rural area
of South Mississippi. and with
all the national media outlets
focusing on New Orleans, we
are scrounging for help. We
will rebuild, we will survive,
but the images of destruction
that Katriia brought to Purvis
and Southern Lamar County
Mississippi are etched in our
memory forever. The ironic
thing about this deal is the pre-
vious Thursday Purvis hosted
the Pearl River Federation meet-
ing:. for the first time and the
students, parents and myself had
spent the, week cleaning and
preparing for our guests. We
had about 80 students and 18
advisors present, and all had a
great time. We even barbecued
after the meeting. Oh well,
don't count us out, though -
we will be back!"
FFA is a national youth orga-
nization of 476,732 student
members preparing for .leader-
ship and careers in the science,
business and technology of ag-
riculture with 7,223 local chap-
ters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico
and the Virgin Islands.. FFA
strives to make a positive dif-
ference in the lives of students
by developing their potential for
premier leadership, personal
growth and career success
through agricultural education.

The liberties of our country,
the freedom of our civil Con-
stitution, are .worth defending at
all hazards; and it is our duty to
defend them against all attacks.
We have received them as a fair
inheritance from our worthy an-
cestors: They purchased them
for us with toil and danger and
expense of treasure and blood,
and transmitted them to us with
care and diligence. It will bring
an everlasting mark of infamy
on the present generation, en-
lightened as it is, if we should
suffer them to be wrested from
us by violence without a strug-
gle, or to be cheated out of them
by the artifices of false and de-(
signing men.
