Senator Rod Smith Tells Tri-County

Residents That Education Of Our Kids

Is A Priority


By Anna Wild
Senator Rod Smith came out to
the Gilchnst Counry FFA Rodeo
Arena on Monday. February
27, 2006 to speak to the local
community about the changes
he wants to make if elected the"
state's next Governor. He hosted
a fund-raising dinner which was
catered by Bell's from Chiefland
and drew over 150 people
from Gilchrist and neighboring
counties. Rod Smith k as pleased
to see people in the crowd whom
he recognized when he ran for
the job of State Attorney in
1992. Rod is a native Floridian
who understands the concerns
of those of us in North Central
Florida and throughout the state.
Rod Smith understands the
importance of our public schools
and wants to make changes that
should have been made a long
time ago.. "Two years ago.the
state with the worst graduation
rate' in America was. Florida,
this year the SAT scores of our
college bound seniors were 49th
in the nation." He \anis to
make sure the public schools are
not just preparing our children
for a week of special exams, but
for real life. "This FCAT has
become the be all'end all of the
school system. But by the time
we get the score it's the end of
the school year: by the time we
find out the deficiency's there
we haven't addressed it." He
wants to make sure there is "a
difference between no ,child
left-behind and no child left
untested." He wants to keep
class sizes smaller and make sure
children that are having trouble
keeping up are getting the extra
help they need without holding
up those who are ready to take


Rod Smith, Democrat for Governor of Florida, is for our children and their right to a good
education in our puidlic schools. He proudly holds iii"granddaughter, .ni,.'ah Gra.' Glover, '
'who is-nine mIonhts old and "gifted." He hopes ears from n'o's she can sa that tthe State of
Florida elected her grandfather Governor and he was the best they ever had. Shown from left

on more. He wants to keep our
good teachers by paying them
what they are worth. He told the
story of a math teacher he met
who explained "after 21 years
she's now teaching in Georgia
because they pay her $9,000
a year more to cross the state
line." He went on to explain. "In
Tallahassee there are car pools
of teachers who gather to "drive
into Georgia to make $6,000


more to teach there." Our kids
are missing the education they
deserve because we don't have
the money to pay these teachers
what they require. Rod Smith
promises to see the teachers'
salaries increase in his 1st four
years in office or he wants us to
call him on it.
Rod Smith wants to see the
Health Care industry reformed
to help the people of Florida but


not at the cost of the poorest and
sickest Floridians. He knows
families, have, to make some
tough decisions' that, are not
always easy to make, but each
is personal decision and should
stay as such. Because of that he
stands firm that if he is elected
Governor he will make sure
that government "will stay out

On Monday February 27,
2006, the Trenton Rotary Club
had a full agenda at their meet-
ing. They were first happy to
welcome Gigi Daube who serves
on the Public Relations Devel-
opment Committee with Habitat
for Humanity of Suwannee Val-
ley Inc. She explained Habitat
for Humanity is a non-profit,
nondenominational Christian
housing organization. Each af-
filiate (locally run, independent,
non-profit organization) coordi-
nates as aspects of Habitat home
building'in its local area: fund
raising, building site selection,
partner family selection and
support, and house construc-
tion and mortgage servicing.
They are in the organizational
phases of operating a chapter for
Gilchrist, Dixie and Levy coun-
ties and need volunteers now
from all ethnic and economical
backgrounds with diverse skills.
Gigi made clear that Habitat is
not a give away program; own-
ers must have a down payment,
make monthly mortgage pay-
ments (at no interest), and volun-.
teer between 200 to 300 hours of
sweat equity to qualify. Habitat
houses are typically 900 to 1100
sq.ft homes that are affordable
for low income families. They
are currently looking for a lot of
help from the community in the
form.of financial donations, land
'donations and personal time to
volunteer to inake this program
a success.
The Rotary members were
also present to see Trenton Rota-

ris Fellow Award for her dedica-
tion to her community and put-
ting "Service Above Self."
Then the group was pleased
to hear from Father Michael
Pendergraft from the Epiphany
Catholic Church and School in
Lake City. Father Pendergraft
was well known to many be-
cause he was formerly the Pas-
tor of St. John the Evangelist
in Chiefland. He spoke on the
importance of routine and ritual
and encouraged everyone to de-


velop a ritual in their daily life.
The community is encouraged
to participate in the Habitat for

Gilchrist Commission Listens To

Pros And Cons Involving Hart

Springs Being Purchased By

Suwannee River Water

"Management District


By John M. Ayers
The Gilchrist County
Commission heard residents
talk to the board about the
advantages and disad\ antages of
the Su"\annee Ri\ er Water
Management District
purchasing the park through a
not for profit organization.
Jerry Scarborough.
Executl e 'Director of the
organization that sets water
policy for parts of fifteen
counties in north central Florida
made a proposal to the
commission in a. Thursday
e% ening public hearing.
"We want to make Hart
...Springs a community park and
Sto protect the natural resources
Sof the park." Scarborough
explained. '"If we can't make
Hart Springs better, \e don't
.need to be here," he explained.
Kirk Webster. a staff
member of the \\" er
management district presented a
power point presentation to give
the audience attending the
meeting a perspective of the
park. "This is a park that needs
to: be preser% ed." Webster
explained.
Webster posed this question
to the five-member board of
commissioners? Why do we
care about Hart Springs? Hart
Springs has a significant amount
of, heritage that is associated
with the park that has belonged


to the Gilchrist County for
many years.
The cultural heritage of Hart
Springs dates back to the late
1850s when members of the
Lindsey family went to Hart
Springs by horse and wagon.
Man\ families of Gilchrist
Counr, natives ha\e enjoyed
this county park for generations.
Hart Springs has an
en ironmental heritage that is
also. ery important to the
residents of the county, as well
as to the thousands of guests
that are expected to \isit this.
spring fed park in the future.
Gilchrist County is currently
working to use a $200,000
FRDAP grant to repair some of.
the sea ,walls and other
structures that have been eroded
by .the storms of recent years.
The. park is also striving to
clejanout the springs. from rock
and debris that have fallen do" n
into the mouth of the cavern
system during the many floods
that ha\ e impacted the park
Hart Springs is a. beautiful
natural facility that has
tremendous economic potential.
Kirk Webster explained in detail
the importance of the springs
and the Suwannee River'to link
the Suwannee RiTer Wilderness
Trail from the Branford area
south into the Giichrist County
portion of the Suwannee Valley'


area.
The Suwannee River Water
Management District is
currently working with several
springs in the Suwannee and
Lafayette county area to
enhance these natural parks and
attract more visitors to this
beautiful, natural area of. the-
sunshine state. The district is.
constructing cabins on elevated',
pilings for visitors to rent on a'
weekly and monthly basis. The
district is also constructing
screened-in room areas that \ ill
allow up to a group of twelve-
people to have a picnic or sleep
overnight in the.screened-in
Room that is also elevated up off:
the ground.
Jerry Scarborough explained
to the county commission that'
the water management district is
interested in workingg with
Gilchrist County to improve the
park and also enhance the
natural beauty of this diamond
in the rough. The executive
director explained -that 'the
county has several options to
choose from for Hart Springs.'
The county carl continue to
operate the, springs as, they
currently haye for many years
with a minimum budget and
continue' to try and build the'
springs back up when a flood or
another type of natural disaster

The Gilchrist County 'Board

future of Hart Springs.
As I sat and listened to many
residents of the county address
the board and staff members of

night, I could feel a certain
amount of concern and

audience.
I share the concerns that the

the future of this park. I could
just imagine ho%' I would feel if
an adjoining property owner
would tell me the, would never
sell their property and then all

for many years always took the
time to take my sister Elizabeth

Is The Law Of Moses Binding Today?
(Kent Heaton)


The descendants of Abraham became a nation at
Mt. Sinai (Exodus 19). What once was a band of
nomadic people fleeing the tyranny of Egypt was
now a nation with Law. During the stay at Mt. Sinai,
Jehovah handed down the statutes, judgments and
commandments for the people to follow. A covenant
was established between the house of Jacob and the
Almighty who "bore you on eagles' wings and
broughtyou to Myself (Exodus 19:4). The covenant
God made that day was with the children of Israel
who numbered 603,550 fighting men (20 years old
and above) besides women and children (Exodus
38:26). The Law of Moses was given to a small
nation of people who would number as the stars of
heaven (Genesis 15:5).
The Law of Moses was only binding to the
nation of Israel. Nineveh was not bound under the
Law of Moses (Book of Jonah) nor the other nations
of the world. Paul described the covenant with the
Gentiles as a "law to themselves" (Romans 2:14).
Many today have the mistaken idea that God gave the
Law of Moses to all people. This misunderstanding
comes from a misapplication of the Old Testament
scriptures.
Is the Law of Moses still in effect today? Are
there tenants of the Law that still apply to people
today? It must be understood the Law of Moses was
only given to Israel and Israel alone. "And they spoke
unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Law of
Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel"
(Nehemiah 8:1). This law was not given to Abraham.
He was justified before and without the Law of
Moses (Romans 4; Galatians 3). The people of Israel
were under the Law as long as the covenant existed
with Jehovah.
Paul explained the purpose of the Law in
Galatians 3:19 "It was added because of
transgressions, till the SEED should come to whom
the promise was made." When the SEED came, the


law became of no affect. The Jews demonstrated that
man could not keep the will of God with a written
law and the Gentiles proved that man could not live
as a law to themselves (Romans 2). Thereby the
sacrifice of Christ would bring all men Jew &
Gentile into one covenant that established salvation
not by the Jew nor by the Gentile but only through
Jesus Christ.
Jesus fulfilled the Law (Matthew 5.17,18) by
becoming the curse of the Law "that the blessing of
Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that, we might receive the promise of the
Spirit through faith" (Galatians 3:10-14). In
fulfilling the Law, Jesus abolished the division
between Jew and Gentile (EphesianS 2:14-18); not
that salvation was granted only to the Jew or only to
the Gentile (Romans 3) but that all men must come
to the Father through Jesus Christ (John 14:6). The
curse of the Law was broken when Jesus became the
offering for sin on the cross thereby (in effect) nailing
the Law to HIS cross having victory over the curse
(Colossians 2:14,15). Jesus kept the Law of Moses
perfectly and thereby removed the curse (Galatians
3:10).
Early Christians tried to bind the Law of Moses
upon the church (Acts 15) commanding "to keep the
law of Moses" (v5). Paul had already shown in Acts
13:38, 39 "that through this man is preached unto
you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that
believe are justified from all things, from which ye
could not be justified by the law of Moses." The
covenant of God with Israel known as the Law of
Moses ended at the cross as did the covenant of God
with the Gentiles. All men must come to Christ for
salvation (Acts 4:12). No one is accountable to the
Law today. Why is a person lost? Because they refuse
to know God and refuse to obey the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:8).

Last week I made a visit to
the Levy County Quilt Museum
and learned a new %wa3 to cook
sweet potatoes.. Mrs. Winelle
Horne demonstrated how her
mother cooked fried 'sweet
potatoes. The fact is it is a very
old way to cook fried sweet
potatoes.
Our : family peels sweet
potatoes and slices them like
French fries and deep-fries them
the same N a\ we do homemade
French fries. Once they are
fried and still hot I sprinkle
them with salt, black pepper.
and McCormick's Season
Salt. .
When Mrs. Horne cooks fried
sweet potatoes she bakes her
potatoes first and then peels and
slices them. Her slices are made
the long na). or with the grain.
and the slices are just o\er 1i
inch thick. Then she heats a
good bit of vegetable oil in her
trust) ol' frying pan. Her frying
pan has high sides so it holds
quite a bit of oil. Mrs. Horne
drops her sweet potato slices
into the oil and fries them until
the\ turn brown on the edges.
While the fried sweet potatoes
are still hot she sprinkles them
nith salt, black pepper and
garlic pow der.
Mrs. Horne's mother. Frances
Home Mercer was the daughter
of Eugena Macenia Horne and
Poley Home, they had ten


earnings by 14 to 16 cents per
share.
If you calculate the company's
intrinsic value using a
discounted earnings model and
input parameters that include
an earnings growth rate over the
next 10 years of 10 percent and
6 percent thereafter, along with
a discount rate of 11 percent for
the first q1 years and 12 percent
therteate/. your 'resiit is "an
intrinsic value of $65'. ,

Moving to ,the ValuePro
discounted free cash flow model,
if you use the same 10 percent
earnings growth rate, a weighted
average cost of capital of 6.59
percent, an equity risk premium
of 3 percent and, a risk free&
(Treasury bond),interest rate of
5 percent. \ou have an intrinsic.
value of $99.
So why is there such a
divergence between the two
models? For one, thing, in FY
2005, Clorox completed the
largest transaction in its history
with the acquisition of $2.8
billion of its stock from Henkel
KGaA'at a cost of $46.25
per share. This has distorted
earnings somem\hat short-term,,
as has expensing stock options.
Moreover, the company is
being quite conservative in its

remembers going \% ith her
mother to the potato bank and
digging :up sweet potatoes.
Potato banks on early Florida
homesteads were made by
digging a hole in the ground and
lining it with straw. The sweet
potatoes were dug and placed in
the straw lined bank .and
; covered over. Mrs. Winelle said
her. mother would take the
potatoes from the bank but she
never turned the potatoes, w which
were left in the bank because if
they were moied it would cause
the potatoes to rot.
These pre-baked fried s\eet
potatoes ha\e a different fla or
from the raw then fried sweet
potatoes that I cook. The\ are
much sweeter and a little crisp\
on the outside and nice and soft
on the inside. Several of the
ladies at the museum
commented that their mothers
and grandmothers always baked
their sweet potatoes before
fr ing them.
I ha\e to tell \ou the\ Nere

that this would be a great \ay to

Therefore, 'I would give. more
weight to the discounted free
cash flow model.
MIy FY 2006 earnings estimate
for Clorox is $3.02 per share or
a 5 percent increase over the
previous year. The shares are
currently trading at $61.54.
Historically, Clorox trades at
a multiple of 21 times annual
earnings. .
If that multiple or. P/E
continues, and I believe that
it will, then Clorox should be
trading at around $63.42 per
share in 6 months, for a 6.2
percent annualized rate of return.
Add in the 1.8 percent dividend
yield and you have an 8 percent
total annual rate 'of return.
Looking ahead, if I had to take a
rough cut at earnings for FY 07,
$3.40 per share comes to mind,
with a $71 share price.

Journal and 1I about fainted
when I realized that I had
accidentally omitted the tomato
juice from the recipe. Clops, if
you happen to be one of those
folks who are collecting Just
Southern recipes please replace
the No'ember recipe with this
one. All this cold weather
makes me long for a big ol'

hand full of oyster crackers
floating on top.

1 five pound Redfish
8 large potatoes
1 large bell pepper, chopped
2 large onions, chopped
6 stalks of celery. chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced :
12-15 green olives sliced thin
1 pound thick sliced smoked
bacon, cut up into pieces

from the heat.- Let cool then
remove fish :from backbone.

SPeel and cube potatoes. Add
enough water to cover, bring to
boil and cook til almost done. In
a cast iron frying pan brown
bacon; then add celery, onions,
garlic and bell pepper. Saut6
until tender. Transfer bacon and
vegetables to a large pot and
add fish stock, potatoes, potato
stock, tomato juice, bay leaf,
Tabasco and Worcestershire
sauce and olives. Cook about an
hour to an hour and a half. I
bring my chowder to a boil then
reduce the heat to medium low.
Yoi will need to stir chowder
about every: 15 minutes. Add
lemon juice, lemon slices and
fish. Cook for another 15
minutes or so.
Chowder will be better the
next day. The flavor seems to
blend while it sits overnight in
the refrigerator.
I add the fish at the very end
so that it will not come all to
pieces while the chowder cooks.


A Letter To
The Editor
As a senior in the Bell High
School Health Academ, I would
just like to say I agree % with Doug
Craw ford's letter in the February
16th Gilchlts County Journal.
I enrolled in the Bell High
School Health Academy min
2003 At firstI was completely
unsure if \working in the health
:field was something that I
wanted to do for a livingi'but
as I continued through the next
three years. I realized health
was definitely where I wanted
to be. The Health Academy
has brought me to a point in nmy
life at 18 years old that regular
high school could never have
taken me. I am 18 years old. a
senior in high school, working
as a CNA (certified nursing
assistant) at Ayer's Health and
Rehabilitation Center in Trenton
and making well o\er minimum
\,age. The Health Academy
has benefited me by sa ing
me time and money. 1 now do
not have to spend an e\tra two
years in college and I can help
myself through along ,with any
scholarships I ma\ receive.
Our superintendent %\ants
S,':'ei r'liigh,'st~; ool student tio
attend college after the\ graduate
but what he doesn't realize is not
,eery student is going to;attiend
college and he wants to get
rid of all vocational programs.
How does that make any
sense? If there are vocational
programs, then the students
who are less likely to attend
college would have a bigger
percentage of attending college.
Besides, almost every business
requires a high school diploma
and some form of college or
technical degree. The students
who do not have a vocational
program to graduate from and
do not attend college will not do
anything to benefit themselves,
the corimunity and the country.
This saddens me and what
saddens me even more is our
school board not having the
backbone to stand up for what
is right and the better things in
life. The school board is there to
debate with the superintendent
on what is best or not best for the
students in the county. They are
not there to just stand behind the

From The
Shelves Of
The Bell
Library
If you didn'T read the Legal
Notices in, the Gilchrist County
Journal this week, go back and
read the invitation to submit
bids on the renovations on Bell
Library. This pleased us that
something is being done towards
beginning the improvements
which are so badly needed.
Maybe by April we can see
something happening.
A few days ago I watched a
movie on' television. The next
day I began reading The Carousel
by Richard Paul Evans that is a,
continuation of the same movie
I saw. Has this ever happened
to you? It is like seeing an old
friend une\pectedl .
For the junior reader I-
recomend an adventure story,
The Search for Madjack's Crown
written by J.J. Fortune. In the
novel a young teenager went to
the jungles of South America to
check on a mine he owns there.
Bandits attack and cause their
plane to crash. They survive and,
find Madjack's Crown which is
an antique and worth a lot of
money. They gave the crown
to a young lady to sell to raise
money to'establish a school.in
the jungle.
The beginning reader book
I enjoyed this week was The
Jewel Heart by Barbara Helen
Berger. Gemino does not have
a voice but he can sing with his
violin for Pavelle to dance. One
day he fell and hit his head on a
stone. While he was not moving,
a woodrat stole his heart. The
shadows found clothes for him
"butfcould oily find a seed for a
heart.' Pavelle used spider web
to put the seed into his chest.
Soon he could play his violin
again for Pavelle to dance.
We are still looking for 'some
good volunteers. Somewhere
out there may be a retired couple
who could spare a few hours a
week to help us. Please think
about this and get involved.

GILCHRIST COUNTY FAIR BOOSTER

Dear Gilchrist County Fair Booster,
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 ol' 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, FL 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.
Again we really appreciate your help and look forward to your participation this
year.


Sincerely,



R nie Smith

Bits & Pieces From
The Joyful Heart
Quilters & Crafters
Of North Gilchrist
County
Well, didn't I fell you? You
can't say I didn't warn you. Ms.
Spring was and is indeed still
outrageously flirting with us.
Everywhere you look she has
left her calling card but Old Man
Winter and his buddy Jack Frost
were not through with us yet and
still aren't I'11 bet.
Trees are budding, shrubs are
putting forth green leaIes. Ev-
elyn Wood's daffodils are in full
bloom, blue birds are starting
to nest ard what are we doing?
Scraping ice off our windshields
Sand dragging out our long johns:.
Oh, spring is on the way, to be
sure. In the meantime, we just
have to take it one day at a time,
dress according\ and keep the:
faith. All in all. we're in good
hands and things are moving
right along as planned and isn't
that a great thing to know ?
And so it \was on Wednesday.
February\ 15th. that 24 Jo.ful
LHearts met at the fire station on
one of those "\"ho know s w hat
the \weather will be b\ noon"
kind of da\s. Alice Binns \was
under the weather and couldn't
make it and Lera Tow% nsend has
lost a sister-in-law so she w\as not
able to attend. We i\\ll be keep-
inig them both in our prayers.
Ann Mangone had no \ice at
all but sat quietlN at the quilting
frame fingers flying She wasn't
alone. Barbara MNIrick. E\elyn
Wood. Elaine Nemeth and Mar\
Lou R\der all io:ned her. The\
all chattered like magpies except
Ann \' ho smiled a lot while lis-
tening to the latest happenings.
Een though A.ice was absent.
her spirit \as right there in the
midst of the S\wedish \weaers.
Martha Foster, S\l\ia Arthur,
'Heidi Kamp, Jackie .Moore
and Cathy Strom., By the \%a..
Cath\. being the good sport she
is, looked as cute as the rest of
the V.lentine decorations \ith
her hot pink valentinee antennae.
Ruth Vilkerson \.as bus\
crochetin, on a beautiful af-
ghan and l Matt, Turner %was
still crocheting her "w~hate\er"
and -it's looking good.:. It was
good, to have Alberta Swanner
back in her place in the amen
corner along with Ann Taylor
and Paulene Martin. Alberta
and Ann were enio ing the .'day
and e\er'eone's company while
Paulene kept knitting on a hat
for hubby, George.
Madeline Norman was still
making: more yos yos., She
needs about a gazillion more to
finish her quilt. She said she'll
never make another one and
that's for sure. We can't wait to
see:it completed.
Ramona High is working on
an. interesting piece of weaving,
on a material like that used for
hooking rugs. It is similar to
Swedish weaving only different.
Diana Lynn, Marvine Deer, and
I workedd on our lap quilting and
to tell the truth,' I missed out on
what Jane Boyd was doing. I
do know she brought her grand-
daughter Karin (better known as
little Jane) along ., ith her." She
is absolutely darling and so well
behaved. She has the biggest,
brownest eyes ,- o' \ e e\ er seen.
Pat Luka minus lj\mne. her
mom, rambled around chatting

TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY"


INFORMATION .
This form answers some common questions taxpayers have concerning Tangible:
Personal Property. In addition, it provides information that will help you file an accurate
and timely tax return.

Questions Most Frequently Asked About Tangible Personal Property


Q; What is Tangible Personal Property?
'A; Tangible Personal Property is e\ersiiing other than real
estate that has value by itself. It would include things such as
furniture, fixtures, tools, nachinery. 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 January 1 ;"h.i has either
a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employed
agent or contractor, must file'each year. Property owners who
lease, lend or rrit proper must al.i.; il e
Q. Why must I file a return?
A. Florida Statutes 193.052 requires that all tangible personal
property be reported, each year to the Property Appraiser's
office. If you receive a return, it's because our office has
determined that you may have property to report. If you feel the
form is not applicable, return it with an explanation. Either way,
the form MUST be returned. Failure to receive a Personal
Property Tax Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your
obligation to file.
Q. How can I obtain this form?
A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible
Personal Property owners. If you do rot 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 1 of the taxing
year, follow this procedure:
1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and
the manner in which you disposed of your business assets.
Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.
2) Sign and date the return.
3) Have your signature notarized:
4) Mail the return back to this office.
Q. What is an office or field review assessment?
A. When a tax return is not filed by April 1 we are required to
place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents
an estimate based on the value of business with similar
equipmentand assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your
responsibility to file an accurate return.
Q. What ifI 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:
Damon C. Leggett
Gilchrist County Property Appraiser
112 South Main Street, Rqom 138
Trenton, Florida 32693
(352) 463-3190 1-800-219-3208

Q. What if I receive more than one tax return.?
A. All returns'must be sent back. If you have more than one
location, the assets of each should be listed separately on each return.
Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully'depreciated and
written off the books?
A. Whether fully depreciated in your accounting records or not,
all property still in use or in your possession should be reported.
Q. Do I have to report assets that I lease, loan, rent, borrow or are
provided in the rent?
A. Yes, there is an area on the return specifically for those assets.
Even though the assets are assessed to the owner, they must be listed for.
informational purposes.
Q. Is there a minimum value that I do not have to report?
A. No, there is no minimum value. A tangible tax return must be
filed on all assets by April 1.
Q. If I rent my furnished home or condo for a few months, do I have to
Sfile a tangible personal property tax return?
A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature,
you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should
be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal
property included in the rental unit.

Q. Are there deadlines and penalties?.
A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After April
1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at 5% per month
or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is required for
unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO RETURN IS
FILED,

SRemember Our
Troops
SWith Gilchrist County resi-
dents who are parents, grandpar-
ents and other relatives of per-
.sonnel presently serving in--the
military, there's a sense of pride,
which cannot be explained.
When some of those relatives
share how they feel when they
see a particular name mentioned
in the newspaper and know that
other people are reading the arti-
cle and then praying for those in
the uniformed ser' ices, it is ever
so encouraging. So. keep the
prayers going forth, for prayer
is a powerful thing. Ask our
Heavenly Father to show Him-
self strong in their lives. while
keeping them safe and helping
each one to stay focused on their
job, particularly those who are in
a combat zone. We all know that
freedom is not free. so the least
we at home can do is take the
time to pray and name each one
who is on the list. If you know
someone \who is active service
and his or her name is not
mentioned here, please contact

Getting Ready For
Inspection, The
Horrifying Event
Through A Cadet's
Eyes
Anyone who has ever had to
be evaluated by a higher author-
ity figure, for any reason, can
relate to the shaky, cold, sweat,
and fear, which can suddenly
consume your every move or
thought, Getting ready for an
Army JROTC inspection can
quite easily be compared to a
dentist or doctor's appointment.
The anticipation of knowing
something major is about to take
place, and the gut-wrenching
fear of not knowing what the
outcome may be, can make even
the bravest of people shriek like
frightened kittens.
Let me help you understand
exactly what I mean. Each
Army JROTC program in the
United States has an inspection
from the IUnited States Army ev-
- ery three years. This inspection
covers the entire JROTC Bat-
talion, including its instructors.
For those of you who ha\e never
beeh in a JROTC program, you
may not be able to comprehend
just how challenging a process it
can be to prepare for one of these
inspections.
The JROTC program at Bell
has a total of 72 cadets. That
.:means, that this program had
only three years to redevelop a
program % ith all the right people
in the appropriate positions. You
would think such a task would
not be complicated, however, let,.
me remind you that we are deal-
ing with high school students.
Giving certain cadets complete
authority over the program did
not appease many of the cadets.
However. that is part of what
makes JROTC such a memo-
rable experience. By guiding
these students to learn to \work
together in teams. and to take or-
ders from other cadets, even ones
that they may not necessarily get
along w\ith. we have instilled in
them the ability to lead or be led.
Though the formal inspection is "
a very stressful and time-con-
suming process. it has proven to
be quite useful in providing the
cadets with a greater knowledge
of ho\w to successfully handle
stressful situations.
For me personally, this inspec-
tion gave me the self-confidence
-to know that-I can successfully'
accomplish any task that I set
out to achieve. I know that the
wisdom and self-respect I have
gained through this program will
forever remain in a special place
in my heart.

RoftSmith, Democrat for Governor of Florida, was happy to see people come out to the'

State Attorney. He thanked everyone on the Democratic Committee for all their hard work and

A Letter To
The Editor
I have a child in the Voluntary
Pre-K program that is offered at
Trenton Elementary School this
year. She is five years old now
and I have been a stay at home
mom since she was 18 months
old.
When I found out there would
be a VPK program offered at
TES, I considered enrolling her,
but'I was unsure if I wanted to
send her for the three hours that
would be covered under the VPK
program or if I wanted her to
stay all day for the full program
curriculum. After speaking \w ith
Mrs. Marilyn Beach, I decided
to send her for the full day,
and I am very pleased with the
program.
Before school started, Mrs.
Beach explained to me that the
OWL curriculum wouldd be used
and that it would be beneficial to
my child to stay for the entire
school day. That way my child
would be able to participate in
all of the activities afforded in
the curriculum.
I know that my child has truly
enjoyed her year at TES in the
Pre-K program: I tried to keep
her home with me one day and
she informed me that she could
not stay home because she had
already missed one day! She

loves her teachers and so do I!'
This program has been great
for my daughter and I would
encourage anyone that has
a child eligible for Pre-K to
consider the program at Trenton
Elementary School.

Gilchrist Commission
Listens To Pros And
Cons On SRWM ID
Purchasing Hart
Springs Park
(Continued from Page One)
strikes this area.
The county can sell the 280-
acre park to a private indi\ idual
and get out from under the
operation 'and the continual
budget demands the park has
become on the count 's general
revenue budge.
The county could sell the
park to the Su%\annee River
Water Management District and
this would allow the park to stay.
open to the public and remain a
natural tourist attraction to this


area.
The county could
an agreement to
involved with the


enter into
become
SRWIMD


through a not for profit
organization and still be
in% ol\ ed in the management and
operation of the park through a
five member park board. This
board would control the
operation of the park uith four
board members from Gilchrist
Count\. A fifth board member
would be a member of the
SRWMD board.
Scarborough explained the
sale of the park would be based
on an actual appraisal that the
county and the district would
agree on. The funds from this
sale would be placed in' a
perpetual endowment that
would provide revenues to
operate the park as well as
administer funds to take care of
some of the upgrades to the
operation of the park. The
SRWMD would be responsible
to pro ide for, the capital
upgrades that would be made at
the park.-
Over the past year, Gilchrist
Count) has reported losses of
up to $85,000 due to the impact
of the flf6bds of 2005. Hart
Springs has been impacted by
floods for several years that
have forced the county to
.reassess the upgrades they
would make involving' a
$200,000 FRDAP grant. The
budget for Hart Springs in 2005
is $124,000.
The SRWMD. staff
explained that the Manatee
Springs State Park is being
identified' as a yard stick
regarding the upgrades that
could possibly be made at Hart
Springs. The park would not
become a state park, bbut the
operation of the park at Manatee
in relation to the camping,
general admission and other
aspects would be reviewed if the
SRWMD.is to become involved
in Hart Springs.
The Executive 'Director of
the SRWMD pointed out to the
county commission that the
Gilchrist County School District
could also use the Hart Springs
Park as an environmental
education opportunity. The
school district could have
students visit the park and learn
more about environmental
issues that the park deals with
all the time.
Scarborough explained that
the working organization
between Gilchrist County and
the SRWMD has to be built on
trust and understanding that
both organizations want the best
park that can become a reality
for the citizens of Gilchrist
County and the visiting public.
"If it is not good for the
community and Hart Springs,
lets not do it," Jerry
Scarborough explained.
County Commission
Chairman Tommy Langford
opened the meeting to the public
to allow those attending to ask
questions of the SRWMD staff
and commission staff.
Mike Myers, Sr. asked if the
SRWMD would consider
extending a sewer line from the
new sewer treatment plant near
the Hart Springs campground to
property owners along the river.
He emphasized that the
connection of the housing units
along the river would lessen the
impact of septic tanks would
'have on the sensitive river
ecosystem .during a natural
flood.
Jerry Scarborough explained
that a feasibility study would
have to be done to determine the
cost and economics of this
project.
Sheree Lancaster explained
that the Lancaster Family loves
Hart Springs and has owned


property that adjoins the park
for many years. "The Lancaster
Family is in support of this
proposal from the Suwannee
River Water Management
District," she explained.
Gilchrist County School
Superintendent Buddy Vickers
explained thaf the school district
was also in support of this
proposal. He added that the
school district would consider
the educational and
en ironmental education
possibility for the students to
have the opportunity to visit the
park in a .classroom
en ironment in the future.
Billy Smith, a former
chairman of the Gilchrist
County Park Board told the
board that the SRWMD has
been a tremendous asset to the
county in the past involving
Hart Springs. He also explained
over the 13 years he was a
member of the park board, the
budget for the Hart Springs park
was a $22,500 portion of race
track: tax 'revenues that was.
Gilchrist Countu's share of.
funds from the state wide
program. Mr. Smith explained
that he is in favor of the
proposal involving Gilchrist
County and SRWMD owning
and operating the park.
Julie Harrison, the present
manager of the Hart Springs
Park, asked how the current
staff would d be affected by the
change in operation.
Jerrm Scarborough explained
that all of the staff would have
to make application for
positions under the new
operation. .
Mr. Scarborough explained
that the ne\\ proposal would
look to have independent
contractors to come to the park
and provide services like the
concessions and other rental
type programs.
Some residents asked if the
park was purchased by the
SRWMD, if there would be the
possibility of the state taking
over that park and a water
'bottling operation constructed
on the property.
Scarborough explained that
neither the SRWMD nor the not
for profit organization \would be
in the business of battling or
trucking spring water from the
Hart Springs property. Kelby
Andrei. a member of the
SRWMD board, explained that
the present board has no interest
or intent to e er take anm of the.,
adjacent properties by way f
eminent domain.
Dale Lindsey, a fifth
generation member of a family
that has ow ned property around
Hart Springs since the 1800s
told the board that his family
will be most adversely affected
if this SRWMD proposal is
approved by the County
Commission. He explained that
the, bureaucracy involving state
operations can change and the
goals and guidelines for Hart
Springs might also change. Dale
explained that the Lindsey
family is very concerned about
the proposed aggressive
marketing campaign that is
being considered for Hart
Springs.
Beth Latner told the board
that every county department
would like to have and extra
$125,000 for their budget. "I
feel like it would be a mistake
to give up the ownership of the
park," she explained.
Gilchrist County resident
Leslie Sapp told the board that
the, Hart Springs Park is capable
of being managed and operated
at a profit to make money for
the county.
The board asked the county
attorney .to meet with the
SRWMD attorney to draft a
document to be presented to the
commission in the March 6,
2006 meeting.
