My original intent was to run in a few years, but upon' learning of Mrs. Susan Bryant retiring, I am prepared to go forth with whatever is necessary to seek this office at this time. Mrs. Bryant has served our county for so many years with such confidentiality, dedication, leadership and community involvement. I would love the ,opportunity to do the same. My name is Leigh Hartzog. I moved to Gilchrist County after marrying my husband, Grady, 12 years ago. We then opened our Badcock Home Furnishings business that we currently own and operate. We later purchased the Newberry location in 2001 when my husband's parents retired. I have two daughters, Carleigh and Kendall, and have loved raising them in this great Leigh Hartzog community. I am a Christian and a member of First Baptist Church of Trenton where I have actively served for approximately ten years. I am a Rotarian and have been a Chamber member since, 1995 and currently serve on both boards. -.. In successfully managing two businesses and being involved with the community, I feel I have acquired a love for the people of Gilchrist County and would be honored to be your next Supervisor of Elections. I would appreciate your prayers and support.

Avers The Gilchrist CountN Com- mission is beginning to feel the pinch, of growth and the con- struction boom to this area as they struggled to find contrac- tors to fill restrict e budget projects that are scheduled to: be funded with grants and FEMA. reimbursements. The board's-top priority w"as dampened by the amount of' revenue they had to spend on the construction 'of a restroom. facility at Hart Springs. After Park Superintendent Julie Harrison had to contact pro- spective subcontractors to see if the) would bid on the job, she and County Administrator Ron McQueen reported to the board that the' project was going to take the entire amount of reve-' nue., These funds originated from, a FEMA program and a FRDAP grant to construct the 30x60 foot structure that will replace the former facility, which was located near the springs. The County Commission is trying to' construct this facility.

The board determined that.this is a builder's market with the construction boom that has hit Gilchrist Count' and the entire area of North Central Florida. '. The board determined that they 'would re-bid the Hart Springs project and hope that some masonr% contractors will be interested in completing the construction before summer.

When the bids were first reviewed the asphalt cost was reported to be $49.00 a ton.

Pest Control 352-463-2469 F-ni t0 i""' rQua In Savke...Since1975 Streetwise By Lauren Rudd! It would appear that Wall 'Street has rather dramatically overvalued the shares of Whole Foods Market. When I last wrote about Whole Foods a year ago, my FY 2005- earnings estimate was $1.24 per share (post split) with a projected share price of $56, a number that was close -to the company's intrinsic value at that time of $57 per share. Whole Food's .closing price back on March 15, 2005, was lr$49.97. .... 1 1 : , Here we are exactly one Near later and the shares are trading at $61.19 for a' gain of 22.5 percent. Earnings for the 2005 * fiscal year came in at $1.22 per share. However, the multiple, or P/E ratio, has gone from 45 to 59. . So where are my concerns? To start xNith, a' head-on collision with the large grocery chains, including W\Val-Mart, is inevitable. Stephen Quinn. Wal- Mart's senior vice president of marketing, said at a recent Bear Steams Retail, Restaurants.and Consumer Conference that Wal- Mart plans to expand its organic foods offerings. SAccording to Quinn, more than 400 stock-keeping units of organic foods are expected to be in Wal-Mart stores by this summer .at the low price points the retailer is famous for. John MackeN. .Whole Foods CEQ, recently told shareholders at the company's annual meeting that his plans are to reach $12 billion in annual sales by the year 2010.. That number is more than twice the $4.7 billion Whole Foods recorded in sales in limited quantities, The board discussed the construction project of CR 337 from SE 70th Avenue to the Alachua County line. They de- termined that the $500,000 shortfall in' revenue due to in- creased cost in materials is more than the county can afford. The board is now working to iden-. tify ways that some of these projected costs can be reduced to widen and resurface a portion of this county road.

I have, in fact I have several, one has high sides, my dad gave me one and one belonged to John's grandmother and it's as smooth as silk. I can't think of a single kitchen pot, pan or utensil that is closer to a country' cook's" heart than his or her well seasoned cast iron frying pan. Although my frying pans are m) favorites, I am kinda fond of my rolling pin also. Mrs. Dolly Read gave John and I a dishpan, rolling pin, butcher" knife, cutting board and colander when we got married some 27 years ago. With the exception of the cutting board all the items are still in use in our kitchen today. What a practical gift. Miss Doll) was a no frills kind of lad), and I hale wonderful fond memories of. her and Mr. Eli both. Anyw a, back to the cast iron frying pans. Cast iron can be traced as far back as the middle ages: this makes it one of the oldest types of cook\ are. In a study which was done in the 90's Dr. Craig Walker of the Cardiovascular Institute .of the South found that cast iron cook%%are contributes to the iron content of many cooked food. I'm pretty sure m\ grandmother could ha\e told -us this, information % without a study. If -you are lucky enough to receive an old family cast iron frying pan b) all means.keep it. The new cast iron you buy. today is not made out of the same quality iron as, the pans "ere years ago. In. fact I've bought several at antique shops to give as gifts. New pieces of cast iron have in 2005. Furthermore. it appears that an apparition of an extra $2 billion has suddenly been added to previous projections. To reach that $12 bill i 'al, -MackeN said he plans to open 25 to 30 new stores per year beginning in 2007. By .the end of the company's 2005 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, the company had added 12 stores to reach a total of 175. Furthermore, according to the companN 's most recent 10-K filing % with the SEC, Whole Foods has not opened more than 12 stores per year since 2001. Nonetheless. I could acquiesce to all this exuberance with a wait and see attitude if it were not for the intrinsic value of Whole Foods' shares. For example, a discounted earnings model with initial earnings of $146.8 million and an average 5-year earnings growth rate of 20 percent for the first 10 years and 6 percent thereafter,, along with a discount rate of 11 percent for the first 10 years and 12 percent thereafter, yields an intrinsic value of $57 Lottery Numbers Wednesday March 15 Lotto Drawing: 14-15-29-46-49-52 No winner of the $3 million jackpot. 5-Digit Winners: 35 at $8,515.50 4-Digit Winners 2,578 at $93.50 3-Digit Winners: 55,679 at $6 Play 4 Drawing: 9-4-0-4 Cash 3 Drawing: 3-3-7 Saturday, March 18 Lotto Drawing: 4-21-28-44-48-49 No winners of the $6 million jackpot. 5-Digit Winners: 103 at $4,062 4-Digit Winners: 4,267 at $79.50 3-Digit Winners: ,91,702 at $5 Play 4 Drawing: 1-5-0-2 Cash 3 Drawing: 4-3-8 to be 'seasoned.

A Letter To The Editor As a breast cancer survivor,- I was thankful to hear that our elected. officials are trying to help defeat this deadly disease.

Calculating Whole Foods intrinsic value using a more conservative ..discounted free r'cash flow& model y3ieldsan rreven .(more.gruesomatresultJI4mnputing a risk. free or Treasury .bond interest rate of 5 percent and a weighted cost of capital of 8.15 percent, results in an intrinsic value of $38 per share. My earnings estimate for Whole Foods for FY 2006 is $1.35 per share,.a number that is 10.7 percent higher than last year. At the current P/E level you would have a $79 stock. The difficulty is that I do not believe the P/E will hold at that level. Using last year's P/E.'of 45 (still too high) the share price would be $60.75, or about where the shares trade today. So what does it all mean? My opinion is that unless you want to accept an exorbitantly high multiple or P/E, Whole Food's . shares are somewhere between moderately and dramatically over priced.

Staring intently at the block of marble, someone asked Michelangelo what he was looking at. "An angel," he replied. What he had discovered in looking at the block of marble cast aside was what he could bring out with mallet and chisel. To others the block of marble was a rejected stone; to Michelangelo it became a masterpiece. It. would seem that when Jesus chose the twelve apostles, He was not looking as clearly as what they were but what they could become. On the surface, these twelve men were Galilean fishermen, a zealot, a tax collector and two brothers known as the "sons of thunder." (Mark 3:14-19) How could these men possibly be the future of the Kingdom of God to take a message of salvation to a lost world? With the exception of Judas, they became ambassadors of the good news of Jesus Christ to which later the apostle Paul would write, "Not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven." (Colossians 1:23) They became all that God wanted them to be because of God working through them. It is easy to focus on who we are instead of what we can become. We are the rejected stone that God saw promise in. In the Gaiden of Eden, God saw the blessing of bringing salvation to the creation that had rebelled against Him. Through Jesus Christ we are made whole in the "new creation." (2 Corinthians 5:17) Peter tells us we are an "elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession." (1 Peter 2:9) This is not because of who we are but what we have become in Jesus Christ. Our lives are changed by the power of God working through our thoughts, our speech, our actions and our motives. This change is a metamorphose of our character of sin to our realization of hope. What I can become with God's help is only limited by what I desire Him to work in my life. "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:18) Allowing God to work in my life will bring about great changes in every aspect of my character. Many people who lived reprobate lives before obeying the gospel are changed beyond recognition because of what God has done in their lives. Consider the changes in Saul of Tarsus, who became (with God's help) the apostle Paul. (Philippians 3:4-6) If these changes can be made in Saul, what great wonders can take place in my life? "What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him?" (Romans 8:31,32) How wonderful the promise of God to gives us all things in Christ. With God's help, I can hear those precious words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter!"

From The Shelves Of The Bell Library On Saturday, while I was working in the library, a young mother came in to renew some books and to check out others for her son. Her. son is seven- year-, old A. J. Home, a student at Bell Elementary. Big Pumpkin, is a beginning reader book that A. J. likes very much. The witch wanted a pumpkin pie so she planted a pumpkin seed and it grew and a small pumpkin grew. on the pumpkin %ine. The little pumpkin grew into a pumpkin so large the witch pulled and pulled but could not pull it off the vine. It was almost Halloween and the witch %anted to make a pumpkin pie. Read the book to learn how a ghost, a vampire, and a mummy all could now get the pumpkin off the vine. Finally a bat solved the problem. Do you think the %witch got her puinpkin pie for Halloween? See if you like this book as much as A. J. does. Junior readers, if- you like horses you will enjoy a fascinating little book,, Dark Horse written by Jean Slaughter Doty. When' the horse came to the stables he was a starved misfit but Abby fell in love .with him and discovered that he was a trained jumper %who %went onto win ribbons and become famous.

Remember Our Troops With 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 w% hen 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 services, 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 Gilchrist County Journal so their name can be added.

March Is National Brain Injury Awareness Month The Florida Department of Health. (DOH) joins the Brain Injury Association of Florida in promoting National Brain Injury Awareness Month. Each year in Florida, approximately 3,000 individuals sustain a moderate- to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). A TBI.occurs every 23 seconds and leads to more than one million emergency room visits each year. "Brain injuries and its effects are rarely the topics at the dinner table or in casual conversations so, our goal is to make Florid- ians more aware of the tragic consequences of brain injuries," said DOH Secretary M. Rony Francois, M.D., M.S.P.H., Ph.D. "The Department 'of Health is ready to inform the .public on ways to reduce the risks of brain injuries.", . Automobile crashes are the, most. frequent cause 'of these life-changing injuries, followed by falls and acts of violence. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), males are 1.5 times as likely as females to sustain a TBI, and the two age groups at the highest risk for a TBI are 0 to 4-year-1ods and 15 to 19-N ear- bids. It is estimated that 5.3 mil- lion Americans currently have a long-term or lifelong need for help to perform activities of daily living as a result of having sustained a TBI. In a 2004 report issued by the CDC for 1995-2001. "at least 1:4 million TBIs occur in the United States each year." Brain injury and concussions are a silent epi- demic. According to the CDC, Florida has upwards .of 20,000 brain injuries per year. Cogni- tive problems including memoryN and problem solving, managing stress and improving job skills can be a lifelong challenge for those with a TBI. It occurs'more often than breast cancer, HIV/ AIDS, multiple sclerosis and spinal ,cord injuriesJ combined. Despite this fact, many Ameri- cans are not aware of this public health problem or that preven- tion is the only cure.. DOH recommends Floridans follow the safety) measures be- low to prevent brain injuries: '*.Be, a safe Floridain!. Always wear your seat belt. When biking, always wear a helmet. Never, ever, shake a baby Secure' throw rugs in your home to prevent slips and.falls.

After Florida was admitted as a state in 1845, a Jefferson County planter. William Mosley, became the first Governor of Florida. Visitors were attracted to Monticello because of its %warm climate, beautiful rolling hills and "pine air" which %\as thought to be therapeutic. It is still therapeutic to stroll among Florida's finest collection of early 19th century residential architecture. Showcased among blooming camellias are a number of Greek Revival, Classic Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate and. Victorian homes that have made the tour a favorite with "new" visitors since its inception 40 years ago. - Among the historic buildings, Dixie Plantation was planned by John Russell Pope who also designed the Jefferson Memorial, the National Archives and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The house is an excellent example of neoclassical architecture. The Dunri House, built in 1890, is an example of Queen Anne style. Very few changes have been made to the original building. Spectacular wood detailing may ber seen in the home; ; Few changes have been made to Christ Episcopal Church built in- 1885, and it, still functions as a vibrant congregation. The church is also on the walking tour. - The John Denham House is a Victorian frame house built in 1888 bN John Denham. a pioneer settler from Scotland. One of the home's distinguishing features is an octagonal cupola. In contrast is the Beshears lovely and unusual home, built in 1875. Tennessee flagstone is used on the front porch, Italian ceramic tile covers the interior floors and a large fieldstone fireplace is the focal point of the family room. The Beshears' home boasts one of the largest live oak trees in the county. Tour hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets will be on sale downtown at the Monticello. Opera House and the :Wirick- Simmons House. Tickets may be purchased at Dixie Plantation. in the country. So put on your walking shoes but please leave the high heels at home. In order to protect these historic structures, tour visitors are asked to refrain from wearing high-heeled, shoes that might damage the wooden floors. While visitingg Monticello, be sure to check out the local. merchants, downtown shops featuring antiques and treasures. All funds ; collected from the tour are used to continue the restoration projects of the Jefferson Counts Historical Association in their efforts to, collect and preserve the rich historic heritage of Jefferson' County.

In addition Realtors have the same legal requirement of disclosure., - A Seller will fill out a form known as a "Sellers Real Property Disclosure". This form is kept in -the office of their Realtor, and is given ,to prospective Buyers when requested, or once a contract is received. - This disclosure goes over everything from where the mailbox is located, to actual issues with the home, such'as roof' leaks, plumbing leaks, electrical issues, and anything that the Seller has knowledge of that will affect the value of the Property. - The Realtor also must inspect the property and point out items they notice which may affect the value of the Property. In addition, when a realtor has knowledge of potential development, or other changes in the area, they must notify both parties as these changes may have an effect on the property's value. - There may be items that the Seller and the Realtor have no knowledge of. I always recommend buyers to have a professional Home Inspection performed. The Home Inspector will go through every nook and cranny in a home to find defects. For a list of Home inspectors in our area, visit my homepage www.willgillespie.net. , - Items that are not required to be disclosed, are deaths in the home, whether by natural causes, murder or suicide. The fact that a past owner has AIDS or HIV is not required to be disclosed and the fact that a sexual predator living in an area is not required to be disclosed. However you can obtain this information by going to the website .of your local sheriffs office, or the.FDLE website.

By Anna Wild On Saturday, March 4, 2006, Hurley's Waccasassa Plantation hosted their first Skeet Shooting Tournament and was pleased with the tremendous success. The tournament attracted first time skeet tournament shoot- ers and experienced shooters alike; they came from Geor- gia, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Sarasota, and even Merritt Island.

Mr. Sanrerxhite lies in St. Cloud and %as happy to come and represent the National Rifle Association and entertain other shooters with his shooting skills and give everyone the chance to see how fun shoot mi can be. Mr. Satterwhite has been shooting since he was a young boy and his father took the tune to make sure he understood the serious side of firearms. The\ are not to\s and both %oung and old alike must understand there are safe way.s to handle firearms and unsafe. He has an impressive background which includes his career in the U.S. Air Force on the All Air Force Shotgun Team in which he won the "All Armed Forces Champi- onship" in 1968 after entering the Air Force in 1967.

Gilchrist County Commissioners' Report (Continued from Page One) erty. Commissioner Thomas ex- plained that he had contacted Dukes Quality Hay, Inc. to get estimates on grass sprigging, fertilizer spreading, and applica- tion of hay to cover one half mile of shoulder and into the ditch banking on NW 93rd Lane. This application is expected to reduce the erosion caused by heavy rains. The commissioner explained that the cost of doing this was estimated to be $2.800 and he and the residents of 93rd Lane would hope that this cor- rects the problem. The board asked the Road Superintendent if he felt that this would take care of the prob- lems involving that portion of NW 93"' Lane. Mr. Watson ex- plained that he was not sure whether this would correct the problem, but this is something that needs to be done on this road. Commissioner Thomas made a motion for the board to approve this proposal and Commissioner Mitchell Gentry .ga\e a second to the proposal. The board voted 4-1 in favor of this action with Commissioner Randy Durden voting No on this action.

Lisa Boutwell Bell Band Boosters Free White Flowering Dogwood Trees Available From National Arbor Day Foundation Ten free white flowering dogwood trees will be given to each person' who joins The National Arbor Day Foundation during March 2006. The free trees are part of the non-profit Foundation's Trees for America campaign. "White flowering dogwoods will add year-round beauty to your home and neighborhood," . John Rosenow, the Foundation's president, said. "Dogwoods Standing Up For Individual Rights Florida citizens have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-protection and Florida law specifically guaran- I tees the right to transport and carry firearms in private vehicles for lawful purposes.- Those rights are well established in law and in public policy. Yet some corporate giants are violating those indi% idual rights. claiming a constitutional right to control business property, when no such blanket right exists. Corporate lobbyists have even claimed businesses .have the right to ban any personal prop- . er) inside private vehicles from . "guns" to "Bitles "to "'bananas." That is nonsense. Government, at all levels. heavily regulates business prop- erty use from zoning to building codes to public accommodations and laws against bigotry and discrimination. This is no dif- ferent. SB-206 and HB-129 were filed to protect the individual,. constitutionally guaranteed rights of citizens. The legisla- tion does not interfere with the employer-employee relationship except to stop illegal searches of private vehicles and protect employees, who want to exer- cise a constitutional right, from abusive anti-gun corporations bent upon discriminating against them. The right to transport and carry firearms in a vehicle means you can store that firearm locked in your vehicle in a parking lot' "\hen you go grocery shopping, to the doctor's office, to a mo\ ie, to visit a sick friend in the hos-,. , pital, to the dry cleaners, to the shoe store or anywhere else people commonly travel. Constitutional rights do not end, and, indeed must not,. %\hen you drive into a commer- cial parking lot. And business practices and policies do not supersede the constitutional or statutory rights of individual customers and employees. Courts have ruled that "an at-will employee may not be terminated for exercising con- stitutional rights." But big businesses in Florida are trying to place themselves above the laq and abope the Constitu- tion. And, tragically, some are reported to have executed searches of private vehicles and fired employees for exercising a constitutional right. This bill stops that illegal, abusive, and clearly unconstitu- tional conduct. The cold hard truth is. gun free parking lots are safe havens for criminals. Businesses that ban guns in private vehicles in park- ing lots are placing the lives of their customers and employees in danger. That conduct is repre- hensible and must be prohibited. Passage. of, SB-206 and .'HB-129 would put an end to corporate giants trampling the Freedom of law-abiding citizens who take responsibility for their own safety and by its practices, extorting employees by forcing them to chose between their jobs or their lives.
