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 are Bruce E. Thomas, Jr., Brett Cra, ford, Jaycee Thomas, Ashton Sanchez, Kaylee Craifo rd Rachel Thomas, and Bryn Thomas, who are proud to support Rod Smith for Governor. Photo by Anna Wild. 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 (Continued to Page Sixteen) By Anna Wild 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- ry President, Todd Gray, award Susan Bryaht with the Paul Har- Trenton Rotary President, Todd Gray, was pleased to present Susan Bryant with the Paul Harris Fellow Award for her dedication and service to the community at their meeting on Monday, February 27, 2006. 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 Humanity program.

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 (Continued to Page Sixteen) Habitat For Humanity Visits Trenton Rotary Club 2006 SUWANNEE RIVER FAIR AND LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION SHOW AND SALE SCHEDULE OF EVENTS- Fridat.

As I sat and listened to many residents of the county address the board and staff members of the Suwannee River Water Management District Thursday night, I could feel a certain amount of concern and uneasiness that was being felt 'by. some members of the audience. I share the concerns that the Lindsey family has involving 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 of a sudden I see a for sale sign on the parcel next door. I have enjoyed Hart Spring, Park for many years. My father for many years always took the time to take my sister Elizabeth and I to the springs on Thursday afternoon after he put the newspaper in the post office: I grew up pickihg up trash for Mr. and Mrs. Ned Bovette at Hart Springs during the summer.

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). Trenton Church of Christ 463-3793 502 Northeast 7th Street Trenton, Florida 32693 'Please Visit www.trentonchurchofchrist.com Email kerux@bellsouth.net By Cindy Jo Ayers 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.

She, said that she 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 pretty good and I'm thinking that this would be a great \ay to used left er baked sw eet potatoes. This w eek I received a call from a friend lwho wanted my' Red Fish Chowder recipe. I found the recipe in a November guidance. Nl"My \ie\ is we're not being conservative." but we are being appropriate in- the volatile environment we're seeing, responded Jerry Johnston. Cloro\'s CEO. According to Johnston. Clorox needs two or three more quarters to more accurately assess issues. such as seeifig how consumers Sreact.,t to 1bnprjqpjo ;,nre5ses. before it an eet baIck'j ',,"a more normalized approach." 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.

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 (Continued to Page Sixteen) i (11 ('I-1PTS T COUNTY JOURNAL.

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.

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 and encouraging those busy working as did Rita Simcoe who came to visit a.spell but couldn't stay. Bonnie Edwards dropped off her camera so we could at least get a picture of our February babies Diana Lynn, Matty Turner, Martha Foster, and Pauline Martin. Bonnie had to go to Gainesville'to take our mother, Lorraine Booth a former member, to the doctors. .I believe both Maxine and Gwen MiLanich .are Out of town and I'm not sure why Judy Pflueger, Leona Wirta, 0 r: Q _' -.'.-.

But the real thrill of the fair was Elaine's announcements. at our meeting, of what the Joyful Hearts had w\on Our group quilt, :"Girl's Night Out," won a third place ribbon.

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, Gilchrist Team Wins Featherweight Division At Ocala Endurance Ride NE Gilchrist rider Jean Won- ser rode her hometrained Ara- bian mare FMR Seneca to first place in Featherweight Division Saturday in Ocala National For- est AERC competition.

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 , the Gilclrist Count' Journal so their name can be added Cla.ton App, Kathy Ar- rington.

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.

Page Sixteen GILCHRIST COUNTY JOURNAL THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 2006 RoftSmith, Democrat for Governor of Florida, was happy to see people come out to the' fund-raising dinner whom he can remember seeing back in 1992 when he was, running for State Attorney. He thanked everyone on the Democratic Committee for all their hard work and support. Shown from left are Ray Earl Thomas, D. Ray Harrison, Julie Thomas, Rod Smith, Michelle Crawford, Howell Lancaster; Joe Gilliam, and Sheriff Turner. Photo by Anna Wild. Rod Smith Speaks of people's private business." after someone has analyzed To Our Community He explained he may not be the impact of certain answers. a "Perfect Democrat";, he -He takes the. values that are About His Goal TO answers questions with answers important to our families and Be Our Governor he feels are iight and not the makes decisions based on that. (Continued from Page One) way they should be answered He is not for gun control and never has been. He also stands firm that our waterways and springs are going to stay safe from use from other areas. Rod Smith believes it is very important that the Governor is accessible to the people of the state. He promises that as Governor you will be able to. communicate your concerns to him. And he hopes that years from now his granddaughter can stand up and say that her grandfather was the best' Governor the State of Florida ever had. Letter to the Editor (Continued from Page Two) superintendent aind agree with Whatever he says. Another thing that saddens: me is our county's teachers and other students feel the same \ay I do but do not say anything because they feel afraid of losing their job due to insubordination and the students are afraid of some form of punishment. Why should itbe right for the county to be afraid of one person" We should riot be afraid and we should stand up for \%hat is right. We should not take away the things that are benefiting our communni and its citizens. Ashley Cross,.~ Bell Health Academy Senior 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 AM mo.ain c usoe-Srieanales -Darn 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. Lisa Johnson Trenton 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.
