I thank you for electing me, your School Board Member, District Three, and having the confidence that I would serve. your children in the best way. possible. It is truly a humbling experience that I. and my family, have been able to represent you. It has been a blessing to have seen my children attend middle and high school in our schools, and to watch my grandchildren begin kindergarten in Gilchrist County. I have two grandchildren graduating this year and two in middle and high school. I have had the opportunity to get to know so many of their friends and families, and feel as connected to our schools now as 1 did when my children were in school. I know the time God has allowed me to serve has been well worth it, if at some time, if Ronnie Smith only one student expresses the Gilchrist County School Board made a positive difference in his/her life. I think it is important that you know I will not seek re- election for School Board Member, District Three. I am confident many in our county are as interested in helping our students as I still am. I hope that those who seek this position will not take it lightly, nor a simple political endeavor, but with pride in our school system and a true desire to help our students become the very best they can be in our fast changing society. Although I will not endorse any candidate, 1 would love to talk to anyone interested in pursuing this challenge.. I would be glad to listen, share my thoughts, and give advice; please feel free to call me at any time. Thank you again for allowing me to serve. Thank you to m\ colleagues on the board, and their true interest in children. I know Gilchrist County Schools is a leader in education. I will always be grateful to you for knowing 1 had a part in it. May God Bless You, Ronald D. "Ronnie" Smith Gilchrist County Welcomes Rob Willis, Public Safety Director By Anna Wild i I had. the chance to meet Robert Willis, the new Director of Public Safety for Gilchrist County. I had heard he was per- fect for the position but had not had the chance to talk to him. Well, I can honestly say I feel. confident that Mr. Willis will be a great asset for our county in this position. Even before Mr. Willis went to Law School he was an inves- tigator with the Sheriff's Office here in Gilchrist County. He received his Degree in Crimi- nology and a Minor in Law Enforcement Administration & Resource Management while he was working with the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office. Then he. went on to Law School and afterward he; worked with the State Attorney's Office, had his own private law practice, and worked as a partner in a firm. Mr. Willis most recently came to us from his second time with the State Attorney's Office where he was felony prosecutor in Brad- ford County. I'As the Director of Public Safety he is in charge of fire departments,' ambulance ser- vice, emergency management, and 911 administration. He is expecting animal control to soon fall under public safety as well. His position keeps him busy, with the 911 administration alone he is in charge of three ma- jor components; mapping, when a new home is built "someone" is responsible to make sure you have an address and are listed on the county map. Currently the mapping for 911 is handled within the building department. He is responsible for the 911 administration, in which he must insure the equipment the 911 call takers use is up to standard'and functioning properly. Finally he is responsible for the opera- tion of the 911 service which is currently handled at the Sheriff's Department. At this time Sheriff Turner is in charge of dispatch and the 911 call takers.. The individuals who answer your calls are his employees and he is in charge of the day to day op- erations. At this time things are working okay with the way 911 administration is being handled, but there are concerns due to the fact that .all areas are not being Robetrt IW'illi. managed at one site. Mr. Willis explained, "You have several layers of 911 and sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes it isn't," in regards to having the components of 911 handled in its current manner. The new fire department for Gilchrist County will be on SR 129 in north Bell. PeeWee Thomas donated the three acres that are next door to the existing ambulance station and that will be the site of the much needed' Gilchrist County Fire/Rescue. Mr. Willis explained, all of inde- pendent departments "are going to fall under Gilchrist County, Fire/Rescue and will go by numbers instead of names;we're basically consolidating all the fire service so we can get county standardization throughout. That way everything is the same; the chain of command is ,the same, and it's safer for the firemen that are coming out and there is a lot more accountability then there has been." Gilchrist County has several subdivisions being built now which will bring more people into the area. There are also over 50 additional sub- divisions on the table now, with the type of growth we know will. occur and the greater growth that has the potential to happen it is in the county's best interest to be proactive and be ready to pro- vide the services these families are going to expect and need. Recruitment and retention of' firemen will also become more difficult as well. Mr. Willis explained, "Right now all of ,our firefighters are volunteers, and the state has changed the requirements from the 40-hour course that you had to take to a 160-hour course and a state test, which is comparable to what the state did to law enforcement back in the 70s." While these changes will make things more difficult for those who wish to volunteer for their community, they are designed to ensure the safety of the firefighter and im- prove the level of service the firefighters provide, and training is still free of charge. In the past it was acceptable for volunteers to learn additional skills on the job and that is just not the case any longer. The new Fire/Rescue site will also have a helicopter pad. This is very much needed in our county because we are so far away from a hospital. Cur- rently if a helicopter was needed to come in they have to land on the Bell High School track, this in itself poses additional safety concerns so having one site clear of pedestrians and built for the job will improve our counties services immensely. The new fire station will have living quarters to accommodate staff firefighters around the clock. I know everyone is Iconcerned about how we would pay for staff firefighters and yes it will (Continued to Page Sixteen) Gilchrist Commission Is Told To Close Hurley's Sporting Clay Range, Or Neighbors Threaten Court Action By John N. Ayers The Gilchrist County Com- mission heard from Gilchrist County resident Frank Cun- ningham regarding the sporting clay target range at Hurley's Waccasassa Plantation during the February 20 meeting. Cunningham resides at 9120 NE 40'h Court Road. High Springs, FL. He explained to the board that a lot of people living along the Santa Fe River are unhappy about the gun fire from the target range at Hurley's Waccasassa Plantation. Cun- ningham explained that when he talked to Mr. Hurley about re- solving the issue peacefully, Hurley told him that he had followed all of the legal re- quirements and purchased the permits to have the plantation constructed on the 1600 acre tract that borders CR 138. Cun- ningham explained that none of his neighbors knew that they were about to have a firing range in their neighborhood until the shooting began. "We don't object to hunting. we ob- ject to year-around constant gun-fire. We moved here for peace and quiet and we have been robbed of that." Cunning- ham explained. He asked the board what recourse do he and his neighbors have? Do we need THS Baseball Team To Host Alumni Game March 4 The Trenton High School Varsity Baseball Team will be hosting an Alumni Game on March 4, 2006..

Cunningham told the board that the constant firing of shot- guns from the target range has become such a problem that they want something done about it. He explained that when they moved here they didn't think anything like this would hap- pen. We \were not consulted or informed about this firing range coming into our neighborhood before they constructed this business. A gun-range is a high- impact business. It has a foot- print much larger than its fence line. Liquid sludge, bad chemi- cals and noise are all pollutants and theN're all pollutants that don't respect fence lines. They have an impact on the entire surrounding area. Cunningham explained that Hurlev's Waccasassa Plantation is a High-Impact Develompent that causes immediate problems to the neighbors and property owners in the surrounding area. Cunningham proposed a list of si. new rules that identify high impact businesses He rec- ommended to the board to adopt these rules to keep this type of problem from occurring again. He also presented a list of seven questions that he wanted an- swers for regarding the firing Final Plans For Suwannee River Fair Are Underway B) Cind\ Jo Ayers The Board of Directors of: the Suwannee River Fair and .Livestock Association Show and Sale. met on Monday, February 20, to make final plans. Each fair show was discussed and plans were worked out to make the 54th annual event run as smoothly as possible. Fair exhibitors who have fat steers, feeder steers or heifers should :be aware that the State Livestock Inspectors are playing close attention to cattle with warts this 'year. Steer Show Superintendent Earl Jones, Sr. recommended that exhibitors should ask their veterinarians to give cattle wart vaccines when they acquire their health range at Hurley's Plantation. Commission Chairman Tommy Langford asked if any- one was present to speak for Hurley's Waccasassa Planta- tion.' Kenneth Copeland, Opera- tions Manager of the plantation. told the board that they could hear people firing their guns all along the Santa Fe River. He explained that the Hurleys' have done everything that the county has required of them before opening the plantation, hunting reserve and sporting clay target range. TormHurley told the board that the plantation has an aver- age of 10 quail hunts every week in the reserve. "'I will work with the county and make considerations, but I will not close the business," the owner explained. He explained that that there is from one half to almost one mile between the shooting range and the people complaining. David Summerall, a neigh- bor and owner of a dairy just west on CR-138. explained to the board that it would be a redl travesty if a working solution is not reached to allow the Hurley *Plantation to continue to oper- ate. He explained that he enjoys going to the plantation and certificates. Mr. Jones also said to make sure the %et lists the \accines on the health certificates. . The first event of the fair this year will be held March 3 with the heifer show registration, which will be from 3:30-6:00 p.m. at the fair barn. The following day Saturday, March 4 the annual' horse show % ill be held starting at 8:00 a.m. for horse check-in. The heifer show will begin at 7:00 p.m. On Thursday, March 9th, the fair will continue with the Poultry and Rabbit Show entries. On Friday.

Gilchrist County attorney John McPheison explained that the Waccasassa Plantation shooting range is in A-6 zoning. This classification allows for a firing range to be constructed and operated without any type of construction permitting pur- chased through the county. Commissioner Randy Dur- den made a motion for the at- torney to take the seven ques- tions and bring hack answers to each one in the next meeting. Commissioner Sharon Langford gave a second to the motion before .the board approved this action. The board %\ill consider this issue in the March 6 meet- ing.

Ayers The Gilchrist County Com- mission was issued a threat, warning or whatever you want to call it when someone tells you to change the rules regard- ing the operation' of a business or they will do it for you. This was the point that Frank Cunningham made to the Board of County Commissioners in regards to the sportsman's clay target range at Huirley's Wac- casassa Plantation on.CR 138 in' north Gilchrist 'County. Mr. Cunningham, a property owner in Gilchrist County for three years told the five-member board that they moved here to enjoy the peace and quiet and they have been robbed of that. He also told the board that when he sits on the porch and tries to drink coffee and read a newspaper, he keeps being dis- turbed by all of the bang, bang, bang, going on at the Hurley's Waccasassa Plantation. Cunningham also admitted that neither he not his neighbors "bothered to read any of the legal 'advertisements that were pub- lished in the pn er f record in Gilchrist County whei the Hur- Sle)y's \ere making application to open this multi-million dollar facility. The Hurleys' did what the county required of them to do to open a first class lodge, hunting operation and one of the most impressive skeet ranges I have ever seen. On a more pleasant note, our son J and I went to the Hurley's Plantation this past Saturday to. shoot a few skeet targets and enjoy a quail hunt. This was a very enjoyable time to not only see hunting dogs work quail once again, but to give' J the opportunity to shoot quail behind a.bird dog. I have hunted wild birds many ,years ago in the fence rows and on agricultural property throughout the county. In those days there was an abundance of cornfields, soybeans fields and plenty of grain sorghum for the birds to eat, I really enjoyed shooting a few of the skeet targets at sev- eral of the stations Saturday morning. I was also. impressed with Tom Tatum and the exper- tise he has in regards to shoot- ing of the skeet targets. Tom explained to both ,J and I that anyone can be as good as they want to be when they begin to shoot sporting clays. All you have to do is keep focused and shoot as often as you can. March 4, the Hurle\ Planta- tion will Hild' a sporting Cla. Tournament that is open to the public.

As to 'investing in the company, that is a different issue entirely. In my opinion, the shares are over valued and I will show you how I reach that conclusion. While th'e mathematical models on which I build my case could possibly be faulted for some of the assumptions employed that is not what scares me about Google. After reading the opinions of some of the Street's analysts, along with the commentary set forth by 'some readers, I am haunted by visions of what was said and done During the dotcom era, Despite all of the talk about .technology, Google makes its money. from selling ads. A full 99 percent of its $6.14 million of gross revenue in 2005 was derived, from advertising: the other 1 percent came from licensing its search technology. "Google is focused on one area. They're great at it, but the competition is mounting," wrote Scott Kessler, an equity analyst at Standard & Poor's. Kessler has a sell recommendation on the stock and a price target of $390. So what is the potential of Google's share price going forward? Let's begin by calculating the company's intrinsic value using an earnings model. Start with Google's 2005 earnings of $1.47 billion, an earnings growth rate of 23 percent and a discount rate of 11 percent (average return on the an ajx ge sf W9g.pW&t'1,0 targets on a course.

The result is a present value of $26.9 billion. Beyond the 10th year the growth rate is decreased to,6 percent and the discount rate increased to 12 percent for a continuing present value of $73.2 billion. Add the two numbers together, subtract long- term debt of zero and .divide by the 296 million outstanding shares for an intrinsic value of $335. Using the Value Pro discounted free cash flow model with the same 23 percent earnings growth. rate for the first 10 years, a 4.5 percent 10-year Treasury yield, a 35 percent tax rate and a cost of capital of 7.5 percent, yields an intrinsic value of $213. My .earnings estimate for Google's 2006 fiscal year is $7.00 per share: The shares are currently trading at:a multiple or P/E 'of 68. If the multiple does not change, you have a $476 stock. The shares recently closed at about $345. However, I do not believe that the markets will continue to award Google that high of a multiple. According to the Fed, a fair multiple for the S&P 500.is 1' divided by the risk-free rate, for which I am using 4.5 percent. That equals a fair P/E of 22 for' the S&P 500. A P/E of 22 would give Google a share price of $154. Let's 'double the P/E to 44. The result is a share price of $308. For reference purposes, Yahoo trades at a P/E of 25. So what does all this mean" In my opinion. Google has an intrinsic alue of between $213 and $335. If you use my earnings estimate of $7.00 and a P/E of 44, you have a share price of $308. Even if my earnings estimate is low by 20 percent. you still oriln have a $369 stock at a P/E of 44 and the shares currently trade at around $343. Nonetheless, you can find share price estimates on the Street of $400, $500 and even $600.

Last week in this column I didn't make myself plain enough. I wrote a couple of long paragraphs about how long my family had been in the South. But I never made the point I was trying to make. I guess I was chasing them rabbits again. The point was I am so very Southern it would be impossible for me to try to write a cooking Column using any other manner of cooking. Fact is I think -we cook pretty dog-gone good down .here. Yes it's a bit fattening I won't even try to deny that. 'Once when referring to good food my cousin, David. "Bud" Meeks, once said, "If it tastes good you better spit it out because it will surely kill ya." I'm pretty sure that a couple of my good friends who have moved to the area the past few years were a little upset with me last week when I wrote, "I now realize that e\er\one who has moved here just doesn't understand our way of life." WhatI should have written was "Not everyone who has moved here understands 'our way of life." It's true that quite a few of the folks who have moved up or down here try really hard to understand us and respect our Sway. of doing things. Those folks are a real asset to the community and I am real glad to have them here. On the other hand there are a few who would like to straighten us out a bit; those are the people who have left the longtime locals with a sour taste in our mouths. I have decided to let the whole thing rest and iot print an additional letter I received because if we keep printing letters on both sides of the issue this deal could go on forever.

It still amazes me how much trouble you can get into. by frying a few shrimp. Last Thursday I had a real scare. My daughter, Carrie, her good friend Annie Whitehurst and I were headed off on a shopping trip. Like, any good Southern mother I had made a fresh pitcher of sweet ice tea. I offered to make us all a glass of tea for the road and of course the girls accepted. As we were pulling out of the yard Carrie took a sip of .tea and said, "Momma, what in the world is wrong with this tea?" Well, I couldn't imagine what had happened. But once I tasted it I had to agree it was real funny tasting. I could not imagine what I. had done wrong, I make tea the same every time. I dump 2/3 cup of sugar into about three cups of water and bring it to a boil. Once the sugar/water comes to a boil remove it from the heat and drop a couple of family. size Luzianne tea bags into the water. Then cover arid let' it steep for only about, 5 minutes.

From The Shelves Of The Bookworm For the beginning readers I recommend Armadillo Rodeo written by Jan Brett. This is a book about. Bo, a young mischievous animal and how he was .always wandering off and getting into all kinds of things. The author turns her talents towards the Texas countryside where Bo was chasing what he thought was another armadillo but it \%as the. red boots that Harmony Jean was wearing as she rode in the rodeo. Chasing the boots he leaped on the horse but was soon bucked off. For the rest of you who may enjoy a' charming thriller I- recommend a novel written. by. Jill Churchill A Miidsunmer Nigli's Scream. From that title you. know there %ill be a. .mystery to solve. This is the'; second book I ha\e read by this author and hae enjoyed each of these. They will be found on the late arrival shelves. Someone donated a bag of larger print romances. These are on a shelf near the other large print books.

As you know, this year's Suwannee River Fair and Livestock Show is just a couple of weeks away., We are again working to raise funds to help buy animals that our FFA and 4-H members will show'in this year's fair. Our main goal is to help establish a minimum sale price so the youth of our county are all supported equally. We also support the FFA Chapters and 4-H Clubs of Gilchrist County by trying to purchase their animals. With your help,, last year we were able to raise approximately $17,000' with which we bought 30 animals. The children that benefited from your gracious donations all left this experience with a huge smile on their faces. Many of you mailed your check to us last year which greatly helped the fund-raising process. We would sincerely appreciate it if you would again mail your check to 2079 SW 75th Avenue, Bell, FI 32619. Please give me a call at 352-463-6143 if you have questions or if you would like to personally help with this project.

Anyone that can assist. please call Commander Shelby. .- BiNGO is in the working stages- Anone wishing to assist please call Shelby or Anne McKinne, We have all the equipment,, just need volunteers and adyertisement to get going.- We are in the last few months of the legion year. Most of our programs are in full swing or dead in the water for lack of volunteers These are great programs for the community: Blood Donor, legion baseball. Scouring. RO(TC, Boy's Girl's State. Law and Order, Firefighter, Special Olympics, just to name a few. The. legion also offers several scholarships, some totaling up to $18,000. We are working some of the programs, but for lack of volunteers, the majorir, of our programs for the community are dormant. I was just thinking of the last rime I saw 10 boys from a former post, getting on the bus, for Tallahassee for a weeks worth of training in leadership and government. \\Tat stories each had when they-returned. Or helping at the 'Special.Olj mpics' as a hugger at the finish line. What a feeling I got !.! !. Watching as Post 91's entrant for Firefighter of the Year, name was called atthe state convention. About three thousand fellow legionnaire's . clapping, what a surge of pride I had. When Sgt-At-Arms of the year came up, I was surprised when I heard Ted Henley of Post 91 called. Not surprised at Ted's name being called, but that a larger. post didn't win. Going to the legion baseball game and watching YOUR team win. I know a lot of you haveexperienced these emotions, the pride of being a member and the moments when tears welled up in your eyes. I sincerely hope WE can get back to those days,, those feelings and the comradeship we have for each other,and our community. We are very proud of the hard work the ladies auxiliary is doing for the legion and the community. We need more ladies like these to get involved with their programs also.

Well to make a long story short, after tasting the foul tea mixture I had concocted I nearly fell out with a big ol' heart attact. Lady, I was worried I had lost my touch and failed my sweet daughter who mistakenly thinks there isn't a whole lot I can't do in the kitchen. When I finally tracked. down -the problem it was the big wooden spoon that had polluted my sweet tea's taste. You see, the night before I had stirred a whole pile of minced garlic in butter and used the wooden. spoon.

I was born in a small farm- ing town in Illinois (yes, I am a Yankee). I didn't know I was- a Yankee until I moved to real America, Gilchrist County. The small town .I was. from was very, similar to the environ- ment in Gilchrist. Today, it is a big city and all the country has been sucked out of it. It is very disheartening. The small town allowed too much development from outside. I moved from that small town in Illinois to the hustle and grand lifestyle of the ''great" city life in South Florida (so I thought). I have to say I did enjoy the fast pace and good money for a time but, people are not human there anymore. People never say hi to each other, if you did say hi, they would think you were crazy. No one offers as- sistance to anyone for fear of being tricked or injured by the person you are helping. People only have time for themselves. They fight over parking spaces or being next in line. Children are disrespectful and unguided. You never see people praying in public or even admitting they believe in a higher power be- sides themselves. Gilchrist. hold your ground. hold on to your morals. You are what real Americans were and what all Americans should be looking to for an example. Thank you God for directing my family and me to this fine community. Please bless them and keep them strong. Direct them to be steadfast in their moral decisions. And above all God, please keep the children safe and on the path of keeping Real America alive. Gildchrist. you are the last of the real Americans and I am proud to be a part of Gilchrist County.

Yes, we may have to pay more someday for this protec- tion, as for myself I am willing to pay for this "insurance" to know that if something happens in my home, my parent's home or my grandfather's home, that someone will respond as soon as humanly possible. Right now I am at the mercy of those who respond from their home, work or leisure location; I am thank- ful for our volunteer firefighters and I know we will continue to need them in the future to help keep overall costs down. But I would feel better knowing that if I calll911 that someone is on the Way now and not'in 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Someone I love could perish in that short time. Mr. Willis made it clear that when handling the funds that pay for these services, "What my goal overall is, is to get the most service, the best service we can get for the least amount of cost. Spend the money as if it was your own and expect what you would expect if it was you who was being treated." I was shocked and disap- pointed to hear that an Emer- gency Medical Technician's (this is an individual who has been through over 4 months of training) starting hourly wages are less than $7.00 per hour. We also employ Paramedics which have undergone at least a year of training. The majority of emer- gency management is run off of grant funding from the state and federal government. The new "Phase II Compliance 911 plan" system was paid for with a $300,000 grant. This new sys- tem will be installed shortly and systems will.not be interrupted during the six week changeover. The-improvements among other things will improve calls re- ceived from cell phones. Your phone, does not need to have a GPS chip: they will also be able to use triangulation to locate cell callers. This may not seem like such a big deal on the surface but if something happens and you cannot "talk" on the phone, our 911 service will be able to deter- mine where the call is ,coming from and follow up accordingly. Mr. Willis gave some examples of things that he has seen happen to people and he's proud to say; "Me, the people who work for me, and the Sheriffs office get paid to think about those things for people. So everybody else Li tL T~i~-14Li --- -- * Sponsors of the Cattlemen's Dinner are very important and they received a huge "Thank You" from the crowd.

Mr. Willis first laughed a. little and had to say that "the people that work for me andthat are providing the services are outstanding.' I have no complaints about them at all, every one of them seems to have that same philosophy; they were here -to provide a service, and were happy to proi ide this ser- vice. I think that all the people that work for us right how are great people and I'm happy. to be associated with them." Unfor- tunately, balancing the job, with the "politics" that goes along \%ith it can be challenging at times. In the process of improv- ing the system and the changes that need to be made, "to get something done can be difficult, it doesn't happen as fast as I'd like.'" "I don't believe in change for the sake of change, change for the sake of change is point- less. But if you can show\ that the change you are proposing. is going to increase the quality of life for people while they are still able to maintain the comfort levels that they 're used to and as long as you're .not pulling away from that and you're bettering either them or the services they are receiving; it's confusing to me how it can be so hostile sometimes. I think that prob- ably the hardest part of my job is communicating to the powers that be new% ideas and getting across that maybe this is some- thing that we should consider. Because I'm not the person with the task of actually making those decisions, all I can do is make a recommendation and ultimately it's going to lie with the board of county commissioners." Mr. Willis understands that Gilchrist County wants to keep their iden- tity and. that is why he works hard to meet that balance. He must ensure that while we are trying to maintain our own spe- cial identity that we also meet the requirements that are set by state law and government regu- lations. "I don't think you have to give up who you are in order to keep up with these things." Robert' Willis is happy with: his position and I am glad to : see him in the position. He is 2. well qualified, understands the, people within our county and is willing to work hard for us. He really explained the job of: the people he works with well - when he said. "These people are the people that you call to remain calm when you can't.." The job of those in. the :field of public safety is a %ery important . one and many of us take them for granted. Please say "Hello" to Robert Willis if you have the chance, he is a great guy who K really has our best interests at heart. Final Plans Are.
