This year al- most 200 children are participat- ing in SVL spring sports. Many .people have worked long and hard to make this spring season 'come to life, and seeing the kids in their uniforms with smiles ,on their faces makes the work seem less tedious. The league was proud to ha\e the Bell High School J.R.O.T.C. Color Guard on hand under the direction of Sgt. John Meinholz. to present the colors and lead in the pledge of allegiance. Cadet David -Whitwood led the group in the pledge and the Color Guard was made up of Jenmfer Smagacz, Sarah Money. Mindy Cannon. -and Kevin Gallion. The opening prayer %was conducted by Pastor 'Rickey Whitley. the National Anthem was sung by Mr. Hardee Myer, and Pastor David Jones spoke to the crowd about the im- pornance of sports and the strong ,,alues it enforces.

Suzanne DeChamplain Wins National Reining Horse Limited Non-Pro World Championship With Scattered Frostbite By John M. Ayers A record freeze blasted Gilchrist Count) and the Tri- County area with as low as 270 temperatures on Monday morning. Agriculture producers with watermelons running off the plastic beds and green beans over 6-inches tall \were bit by extremely cold temperatures for late March. On Monday, March 28, farmers in Gilchrist County were \watching their plants to see just how they would be affected by the fall in the thermostat before day light. Many farmers were up all night working their irrigation and spraying to minimize the frost from damaging their plants. Green 'bean producers in the Tri-County area were also up all night Sunday trying to keep their plants from being damaged. Elaine Jones reported that her husband, Tommy and her son Herman Sanchez, Jr. and grandsons also sprayed their green beans crops and ran their overhead irrigation to reduce the frost damage on their fields. They too reported slight damage to their crops. Billy Smith of Billy Smith Watermelons reported that temperatures dipped to 27" Monday morning. "If it had dropped 2 more degrees and remained there for some time. we would ha\e been facing an extreme situation," he added. He explained that Rantz began running the water on his melons This watermelon row had some scattered frostbite to the tallest leaves in the first few plants. A majority of the plants in many of the rows were not showing any frost damage on Monday morning. Friday night to put. as much water as the beds could stand under the plastic. The water w ill actually keep the beds warmer and the extreme temperatures \ ill not be as bad as if the plant beds %\ere dry, Smith explained. "We had some scattered frost damage on the field that has the largest plants. but if the weather %%ill warm up, within 10 days we feel the plants "ill o ercome the freeze damage." he added. Smith recalls four years ago %hen he and a teari of farmers pulled their airboats up and down the melons rows all night to create a w ind to keep the frost from damaging the melon plants. It didn't get that cold this time. Smith recalls. We still look for Easter in April before we don't \orrn ane longer about the frost and freeze damage." Smith added. All of the farmers feel the freeze damage was minimal this time. B.

A Soldier's Perspective of the Ongoing War on Terrorism By SGT Manley Frost SI served in Baghdad, Iraq for a year in the post-Saddam era that has been the source of such con- tdntion among Americans and what a difference a year makes. In early 2005, I came home for two weeks to witness my daughter's birth and was greeted in airports from New York to Texas with firm handshakes and heartfelt appreciation. But by the .time I returned from my deployment at the end of 2005, it was clear that something had changed. Fewer eyes softened at the sight of a man or woman in uniform, fewer yellow ribbons adorned trees in public places and fewer news segments cov- ered the progress being made within the former dictator- ship. Instead, sensationalism dominated the mainstream news and politician after politician claimed scandal was afoot. I left Iraq knowing that I had contrib- uted to our military's success in .fighting terrorism, securing free- dom and ensuring future stabil- ity within Iraq, only to hear from the American media a few days later that mine was an unpopular war with dwindling support and few prospects for victory. But have things really taken a turn for the worse or have Americans simply grown war-weary? After extensive exposure to and study of the Iraqi situation (as well as international terror- ism), I know that terrorists have exactly one effective weapon of mass destruction-and the global media holds the detona- tor. The insurgency in- Iraq cannot win a battle with the U.S. and our Coalition partners force-on-force, which is why Saddam's most elite armies fell within days of the initial occupa- tion. Instead, they rely on relent- less cheap shots that are often in violation of the Geneva Conven- tions. Roadside bombs, impro- vised explosive devices (IEDs), and 'suicide bombings have (Continued to Page Eighteen) that the time has come in our lives to actually retire and do the things that we have looked forward to. The future of the Gilchrist County School Board will be very exciting as we embark in many new directions. Globalization and rapid technological advancements are having dramatic effects on the lives of our students and the way \e teach them will be very' different than in the past. We must adapt to the changing world that we are in if our children continue to be competitive and prosperous. I am sorry that I will no longer be a part of these changes, but know this is the right decision for us. Thank \ou again for such a wonderful opportunity you have given me and hopefully I have made a meaningful contribution to the students of Gilchrist County. Carol Hyde-Buck Gilchrist County Approves Partnership With SRWMD Involving GIS Capabilities And Digital Water Resource Data By John M. Ayers The Gilchrist County Com- mission took action on Monday, March 20, 2006 to enter into a partnership with the Suwannee River Water Management Dis- trict involving digital water re- source data and enhancing Geo- graphic Information SyStem capabilities. Gilchrist County Adminis- trator Roi McQueen reminded the five commissioners that, by statute, residential development must be a minimum of 35 feet away from an identified wet- land. "The Suwannee River Water Management District wants to work with all of the 15 counties in the district to pro- vide tools to keep development out and away from wetlands," McQueen explained. A board member asked the county administrator how this information would be most use- ful? "This will be another tool in the permitting process. GIS mapping enables the county to be up to date on development," McQueen added. He added that the ability of this equipment could reduce the amount of property damage a county or municipality would have in- volving flooding wetlands in the future from another tropical storm. The Global Information Sys- tem equipment costs over $8,000. This equipment will be furnished to the county by the SRWMD and the county is re- quired to pay an annual $400.00 fee to upgrade the software. This program will be implemented over a two-year period and is available to all of the counties and municipalities in the Suwannee River Water Management District. The board discussed that the lack of planning regarding the development near the wetlands in Gilchrist County could create some unexpected, challenges. Commissioner Randy Durden made a motion to approve -the new GIS partnership with the Suwannee River Water Man- agement District. Commissioner' Kenrick Thomas supported the motion with a second. The unanimous vote approved the motion. The Time Is Here Don't Forget, SPRING, Your Clocks Ahead One Hour.

Main Street, Trenton, Florida 32693 John's Comments By: John M. Avers Politics and Guidelines Just recently an issue oc- curred that made me feel that I must publish again the Gilchrist County Journal's editorial pol- ic\ and the difference between a Letter to the Editor and a politi- cal endorsement. I ha'e had candidates and their supporters submit what they felt were Letters to the Edi- tor for publication. Usually if a letter is submitted for publica- Stion by a political group, it is endorsing a candidate. Letter to the Editor The Gilchrist County Jour- nal feels very strongly about gi ing everyone an opportunity to oice their opinions in a Let- ter to the Editor. I feel a Letter to the Editor gives an individual an opportunity to voice his or her opinion on an issue. Through a Letter to the Editor, everyone can speak out regard- ing an issue and how% they feel about it. In a Letter to the Edi- tor, the writer does not hold a loaded gun to blast the golern- S;ing 'board or iar.naninistrator' A Because thee)y isagr h with tIhe ..administration's \ iew. The Gilchrist Count) Journal %will accept and consider one Letter to the Editor from an in- di'idual regarding an issue. In that one letter, the individual Sill have an opportunity to gi\e their feelings in detail in relation to the issue. That Letter to the Editor must be submitted prior to the--deadline for that issue, typewritten, and. be less than 200 words. If the letter is not clear or is confusing, or speaks negatively in poor taste regard- ing an issue or individual, the letter could be edited before it is published. No letter w ill be pub- lished without the signature of the writer and the writer's tele- phone number. The telephone number will not necessarily be published, but will be used for information in contacting the Writer. Letter of Endorsement A letter of endorsement sup- ports an individual seeking or one that current\ holds a public office. A letter of this form identifies the reason wh% an individual thinks or feels this political candidate would be the best person for the position the\ are seeking. This t)pe of letter when it speaks in favor of or against the candidate's cam- paign must be approved in "ril- ing by the candidate it identi- fies. A letter of this t pe identi- fying an indi idual seeking of- fice becomes a political adver- tisement. This type of letter can be published, but it will be done only if the writer pa s for the lener as an ad% ertisement. The Gilchrist Counr' Jour- nal adopted the policy that this publication \ill either print all ,-f the politial. endorsepepLs supportingg all'ofife' anddt or none of them.

D. Moore of Bell, Florida offered a prayer at a gathering of saints at the Cherry Sink Church of Christ. In the course of the prayer he. offered, he made the follow ing statement: "Lord, help us to remember what our purpose in life is - the privilege to serve the Lord." Few thoughts sum up the total of man than the truth of how privileged we are to be considered worthy to approach, the throne of God. Men in their pride and arrogance have slain those who would dare enter their courts without permission (Esther 4:11). People of God have a. Father who entreats His children to come into His presence to lay their anxious hearts before Him (Philippians 4:6,7). Those who follow the Son of God have a single purpose in life: to serve the King! What an imposing thought to consider in the mind of man. We .stand before the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" (Revelation 19:16) to serve Him and to obey His every command. As servants of the Most High God we have dedicated our lives to follow Him who rides upon a white horse whose name is Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11-16). Jesus Christ is our King and His Father is the Almighty whom We find the summation of our life filled within our breath. It is a privilege to serve Him. It is an awesome thing to consider Him we serve. Moses said, "Who is like You among the gods, 0 Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?" (Exodus 15:11). The mercy of God has allowed us to have this benefit this blessing. Mortal man has been given the opportunity to serve the immortal Creator of this world who holds our breath in His hand (Daniel 5:23). We serve Him because He loved us enough to give His only begotten Son to die for our sins (John A Letter To The Editor There was a well-attended school board meeting March 21st in which the problem of overcrowding at Trenton Elementary was addressed. Based on the information- presented by Dr. Surrency, few would argue that steps must be taken to resolve the problem.

I would like to share my thoughts on the matter. primarily as a concerned parent. but also as a teacher at TES. I believe most of the objections to moving 5th grade were based on well-kno\wn principles of ' child de elopment. Parents and teachers are constantly reminded of the giant leap in physical, social and emotional de elopment that occurs between childhood and adolescence. The difference between a,10- year-old and a 12-year-old is huge. Elementary schools have historically) included kindergarten through 5th or 6th' grade precisely because of this developmental milestone. :7As the father of a current 4th grader, I share the concerns raised with respect 'to moving (Continued to Page Eighteen) ose In Life Heaton) 3:16). Our allegiance is borne upon the blood given at Golgotha (John 19:17). The servitude we offer to God is' only dust on the debt of redemption. God has allowed in His infinite mercy to seek men to worship Him. and by His grace we are, allowed to enter into His holy court. Our purpose in life is not about my needs and m; v. ants The rejsoi behind our motives, our wants, our needs arid our course of life is governed by the humble realization that we serve a risen Savior. We did not earn this right. There was nothing we could do that would offer this entrance before God. The Jews proved it could not be done by the written law and the Gentiles showed it could not be done as a law to themselves (Romans 2). Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:9 that God "has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity." Glory to God for this rich blessing of being able to serve a loving Father. Children of God serve the Lord through the blessing of the grace of God. When it enters the mind of men to forget this grace, lost is the blessing of God. All that we are and all that we can become will only be found in the knowledge that our purpose in life is a single thought: the privilege to serve the Lord. When our life ends and we are ushered before the great and holy presence of Jehovah, these words will ring in our hearts throughout the eternal ages: "Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with afew things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master" (Matthew 25:23).

Have you read the books writ- ten by :Patrick Smith? Land Remembered is about families living in Florida in the early days when the cattle jan loose and could be rounded up by the property owners. Another book that this author has written -was just recently donated to the library and is actually two books under one cover. The first book is about living on the river and making a living by fishing and catching frogs for their hind legs which some customers consider a deli- cacy. The second book tells how migrant camps \were operated and the residents were trapped b\ the owners. This book is on the shelves of new arrivals as a non-fiction edition. I was really pleased to learn that some roofing companies have looked at the library and are preparing bids to be sub- mitted to the city council for a new roof. They also need bids from a building company for the renovation to the interior of the library. A lovely lady came by recently and donated two shopping bags of inspirational romances to us. These will be found on the front bookcases under the windows. For the beginning reader. I recommend this week a delight- ful little book. Mailing Alay, in which a little girl wanted to visit her grandniother but her parents could not afford the train fare so they sent her through the mail to her grandmother's home. Of course. \we know this is impos- sible but the author, Ted. makes it seem true. Girls and boys. remember to come by and register for the Easter baskets drawing.

In addition, it provides information that will help you file an accurate and timely tax return. Questions Most Frequently Asked About Tangible Personal Propert- Q. '* hat is Tangible Personal Properh?, A. Tangible Personal Propern is e\er\thmng other than real estate that has alue b\ itself it uo.uld include things such as furniture fi\tures to:ls. machmier, household applances. signs. equipment. leasehold Jmprosements. supplies, leased equipment and anN other equipment used in a business or to earn inconle Q. Who must file? A. Anyone in.possession ofas'ets on JanuarN I who has either a proprietorship partnership. corporation or is a self-emploed agent or contractor, mul file each Near Properr owners % ho lease lend or rent property must also file. Q. Why must I file a return? A. Florida Statutes 193 115 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 'Oiu ma\ haNi proper to report. Ifyoiufeel 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 not get one, contact the Property Appraiser's Office. Q. What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file-a return? A. Yes, if.you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out items 1 through 9.on the return, and attach an explanation of why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies, rented equipment or household goods. ' Q. If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return? A. Yes, if you were not in business on January I.of the taxing year, follow this procedure: 1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and the manner in which you disposed of your business assets. Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them. 2) Sign and date the return. 3) Have your signature notarized. 4) Mail the return back to this office. Q. What is an office or field review assessment? A. When a tax return is not filed by April 1 we are required to place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents an estimate based on the value of business with similar equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your responsibility to file an accurate return. Q. What if I don't agree with the assessed value that appears on the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in August of each year? A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the opportunity to review all the pertinent facts. Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year - Who is responsible for the taxes? A. The new owner is responsible, however, if there is insuffi- cient property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January 1 would be responsible for the difference. Most title companies do not do a search of the tangible assets of a business. You should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent to avoid problems in this area. To inquire for more information about Tangible Personal Property please contact: Damon C. Leggett Gilchrist County Property Appraiser 112 South Main Street, Room 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 file a tangible personal property tax return? A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature, you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal property included in the rental unit. Q. Are there deadlines and penalties? A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After April 1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at 5% per month or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is required for unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO RETURN IS FILED. Thank You To: Chiefland Aluminum Osbron Braker Raintree Realty, Inc. C'Dell Stalvev Hall Services, Inc.

Nitrates fuel the eex: cessive growth of hndrilla and algae that has choked out native aquatic vegetation As a result Wakulla Springs, a designated Outstanding Florida Water ranks in the lowest 20 permit of all Florida rivers in terms of bior logical health. The Federation', goal is to hale the permit denied b) the court and for the City anc the DEP to subsequently de elop a permit which mandate: a significant reduction of nitrate, in its effluent. FWF believes that the permit issued by' DEP is inadequate to protect Wakulla Springs anc area groundwaters' and is lack- ing in documents that provide reasonable, assurance' that the City is not polluting Wakulla Springs. S The Federation has negotiated with both the City of Tallahassee and DEP to avoid this litigation but was, not able to reach an agreement, so the court system is the last resort available to seek remedies that will restore Wakulla .Springs.' Wakulla Springs is. a premier state park and worldwide tour- ist destination located ten miles south of the sprayfield. Fuller, who lives downstream on the Wakulla River, is alarmed that the river is being degraded and that this is likely to worsen. This also has had a negative impact on recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking and canoeing, bird-watching and boating, The FWF, established in 1937, with a membership of 14,000 ad- vocates, is a non-profit citizen's conservation organization work- ing for the protection. enjoyment and wise use of Florida's fish and wildlife and other natural. resources.

Seaberg, who was once the emergency medicine residency director for, the Cdllege of monarchs of the swamp, the, American alligator. As evident by the signs along. nearby highways, the American alligator is the unofficial "mascot" of the Okefenokee Swamp. An animal of. ancient design, in the water it has a strong, slightly menacing appearance that makes it look dangerous, especially to people whioare not familiar with them; When I. first paddled in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refiuge, I constantly scanned the dark, tannin-stained waters, searching for the tell-tale signs that would indicate the presence of this powerful creature-the distinctive shape of eyes and noses lurking just at the surface of the water. The primal fear of being preyed on by creatures larger ahd more ferocious than ourselves seems deeply imbedded in the human psche. Some of this can be attributed to watching one too man" "nature documentaries." which always show crocodiles leaping in the air to grab an unsuspecting African \wildebeest. Hollywood hasn't helped either, with its series of films depicting giant, boat-eating alligators on the loose; it's a wonder anybody still ventures out in a canoe. As I have learned over time. alligators may be curious, they may eeen be frightened, but they are generally not aggressive. It seems to me that they know\ to fear humans more than humans should fear them. In fact, there has not been a single case of anybody being attacked, let alone being killed by an alligator in the Okefenokee since it became a refuge in 1936. The word "alligator" is derived from the Spanish \word El Legarto. which means "the lizard." A visitor's first alligator sighting is usually a memorable event, and sometimes a deceptive one as well. On warm, sunny days, alligators' tend to congregate behind our visitor center. \\here they haul themselves on shore to bask in the sun and snooze the afternoon a\%a. in relative peace This is the sight \which greets many thousands of visitors eter\ Near at the refuge. leading mahy to comment that alligators seem to be lazy reptiles that enjov an easy life.

On March 16 over 1.000 farmers. ranchers, agriculture mdustry volunteers, educators, and FFA members across the state of Florida partcipated in Ag Literacy Day. The purpose of Ag Literacy Day is to educate elementary students that food, clothing, and other items they use daily come from agriculture and not from stores already made. The two books read this year were "Til the Cows Come Home" by Jodi Icenoggle, and "Pig and Crow" by Ka. Chorao. The Trenton Sr FFA chapter participated in this event by reading to the students at Trenton Elementary. Twenty two pre K through fifth grade classes had the opportunity to hear these stories and ask questions about agriculture. The students representing Trenton FFA for Ag Literacy Day were: Preston Garrison, Brandi Coleman, Shelly Law, Ivey Kee. Travis Sessions. Derek Perr man. Brittany Woods, Kirstie Boyette. Stephanie Fischer. Casey Fischer. and Jamie Ozment. Special thanks to Cindy Watson from Trenton Elementar. for help with coordinating the event.

UF Emergency Medicine Residency Program To Open In July 2006 The University of Florida College of Medicine will open an emergency medicine resi- dency-training program on the Gainesville campus next July', college officials have an- nounced. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has approved the college's plan to begin an emergency medicine residency program, making Gainesville just the fourth city in the state where emergency medicine training is offered. "Throughout Florida there is i' need for emergency physi- cians. particularly in rural ar- eas." said David Seaberg, M.D.. a professor and associate chair- man of the emergency medicine department and chief of emer- gency services at Shands at UF. "The best way to keep them here is to have residency pro- grams. Most physicians end up working within 250 miles of where they trained." Emergency medicine was the college's only major medical specialty not to have a residency program in Gainesville, Seaberg said. The college does have an emergency medicine residency program in Jacksonville, and the 45 residents who are trained there complete some of their rotations in Gainesville.' The new program will start smaller, accepting about eight residents a year for a total of 24 in the three-year program, and it will not duplicate the Jackson- ville residency, said Kevin L. Ferguson, M.D., a UF clinical assistant professor and director of graduate medical education for the emergency medicine department. Emergency residents in both programs will see different types of patients because Shands at UF serves a more rural eight-county area of the state, whereas the hospital in Jacksonville draws patients primarily from the city, Ferguson said. But the biggest difference. could be the curriculum. Ferguson has engineered the Gainesville curriculum to be accessed primarily online, al- lowing residents to view digital reading materials and watch taped lectures, no matter when they are working. Residents will meet 'in small groups to discuss and analyze their own interac- tions with patients and to learn things best taught in closer quarters, like how to bring all the different resources of the hospital together to help pa- tients, Ferguson said. "That's very difficult to teach in a lecture," he said. "And if residents don't know how to Medicine in Jacksonville. said he came to Gaines\ille in 2000 with the goal of establishing a residency program here within five years. The emergency department cleared one of its biggest hur- dles this year when Shands at UF was named a Le\el I trauma center. Opening a trauma center at Shands at UF \was a goal emergency department officials %wanted to accomplish before starting a residency program here. Ferguson said. "There is literature that shows that going to a trauma center w\vith an emergency medicine .training program greatly m- proves patient outcomes be- cause they are met at the door by people \\ho are experts." Ferguson said. The department likely, w ill hire some new faculty members, too. mostly because the number of patients \isitmg the emer- gency room is up about eight percent to ten percent. With a ne\ emergency room and trauma center slated to be built at the planned cancer hospital, that number would grow.' Sea- berg sfi7-NMlore tran -4l0.000 patients visit the Shands at UF emergency room each year. The department is currently accepting applications.

A Firefighter's Wish I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children at 3:00 a.m., flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen below you burs. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at. 6:00 in the morning as I check her husband of 40 years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hop- ing to bring him back, knowing intuitively that it is too late, but wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done to save his life. I wish you knew the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, the eeriness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke, sensa- tions with which I've become too familiar. I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a fire, "Is this a false alarm or a working fire? How is the building con- structed? What hazards await ne? Is anyone trapped?" Or to a call for help, "What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life-threatening? Is the caller re- ally in distress, or are they wait- ing for us with a 2x4 or gun?" I wish you could be in the emergency room as a doctor pro- nounces dead the beautiful five- year old girl that I have trying to save during the past 25 minutes, the girl who will never go on her first date or say the words "I love you, Mommy" again. I v"ish \6u could feel ihe frus- tration I feel in the cab of the fire engine, squad, or ambulance, my arm tuggingagain and again at the air horn chain, as a driver fails to yield the right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. Yet. when we are needed, the first comment heard on our arrival will be, "It took you forever to get here!" I wish you could know my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teen-age years from .the re- mains of her automobile. "What if this was mN daughter, sister, or friend? What is going to be her parents' reaction when they open the door to find a police officer with hat in hand?" I wish you could know how. it feels to walk in the back door and greet my family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come back from the last call.. I wish you could know how it feels dispatching officers, fire- fighters, EMTs. and paramedics out, and when we call for them Catherine Vega, PA-C Pediatrics James F.

I iish you could feel the hurt as people verbally, and some- times physically, abuse us or belittle what we do, or as they express the attitude of "it will never happen to me." I wish you could realize the physical, emotional and mental drain, the missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activi- ties, not to mention all the trag- edy my eyes have seen. I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfac- tion of helping save a life or preserving someone's property. of being able to be there in time of crisis, helping create order from total chaos. I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little' boy tugging at your arm and asking,' "Is Mommy okay?" not e\en being able to look in his eyes without tears from your own and not knowing what to say. Or to have to hold back a long time friend who watches his buddy having CPR done on him as they take him away in the back of the Medic Unit, knowing all along that he did not have his seat belt on. Unless you have lived this kind of life. you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, we are, or what our job re- ally means to us... I wish you could, though.

AARP Florida Opposes State Plan By A \RP Florida AARP Florida opposes a state plan to force Floridians 60+ to join a managed-care plan (like' an HMO) if they need vital Medicaid long-term care ser- vices. Part 3 of a series explains some of the plan's flaws. Everyone knows that health care is expensive. State officials say they want to force older Floridians into Medicaid HMOs to receive vital long-term care services because future Medic- aid costs are unstistainable. But state bureaucrats have testified before lawmakers that there is no guarantee that the plan will actually reduce Medicaid costs. In fact, if HMOs do manage to squeeze savings out of Medicaid long-term care costs, the state's, plan could let the HMOs keep any savings as profit. Taxpayers wouldn't benefit, and doctors, nursing homes, hospitals, and Medicaid .participants could suffer. AARP Florida knows that us- ing wise use of public resources for Medicaid is important to you. Call this toll free number 800-880-7640 and tell your state lawmaker that the Florida Senior Care initiative isn't guaranteed to save taxpayers any money. Ask that lawmakers delay implementing this program and look for a better long-term care reform plan.

Advancing Careers In Education Teacher Cadet Program Popular Beef Value Cuts Program Gaining Ground, Florida Beef Producers Say A program that identifies and improves the value of certain beef cuts is gaining momentum across America, according to Florida beef producers. The cuts take advantage of tender and flavorful muscles from the chuck and round, turning them into steak and other desirable products. - Previously many of these cuts- had been combined with less tender 'cuts and made into ground beef or sold as pot roast or other inexpensive items. New cuts identified include the Ranch Steak, Sirloin Tip Side and Center Steaks, Petite Tender, Flat Iron Steak, Western Griller and Western Tip Steaks. The research leading to these items was conducted through the Beef Checkoff Program in partnership with the University of Florida and the University of Nebraska. The study analyzed 39 different muscles from the chuck and round from 144 carcasses (over 5,600 anuscles in total) for palatability and functionality. It also highlighted a handful of individual muscles that have unique qualities such as a high degree of tenderness and/or flavor. This resulted in the Beef Value Cuts program, funded through the national Beef Checkoff Program, beginning about five years ago. Today more than 20,000 restaurants and 4,000 supermarkets in the U.S. are featuring the products. Each of the new cuts is helping revolutionize beef fabrication and marketing in this country, according to Jim Handley, Chief Executive Officer, Florida Beef Council. Partly as a result. the \alue of beef carcasses has increased. In addition, beef producers are enjoying greater stability and profitability in their operations. "For too long the industry has sold products in traditional ways. which has included grinding beef items into ground beef or selling chuck and round roasts at low prices." says Handley. "Today we're becoming more sophisticated about how we cut up and market what tVe--'have to sell. IB.V'refining 'odro'c'iting "and marketing operations we can provide consumers more of what they want while addressing the needs of beef processors and marketers to more effectively utilize every part, of the carcass." The Beef Checkoff Program, * funded by a national $1-per-head assessiperit on domestically sold bovine animals and imported cattle and beef, is.responsible for both the research that led to Beef -Value Cuts and the education of packers, processors, marketers and consumers of the resulting items.: Efforts. to gain greater visibility for these cuts' and better train- those who process and market the items are continuing, Handley says. .Materials for processors and marketers are more targeted, and include how the cuts are created, their nutritional content and the specific benefits of each item. "As beef producers we're proud of the work we're doing to give consumers what they want," says Handley. "That means meals that not only taste great, but are convenient and nutritious. These new cuts offer these benefits." At the same time. those who are responsible for creating these items are seeing how beneficial it can be to meet those consumer needs, even if it means doing a little additional work. Beef producers are using their Beef Checkoff Program as a catalyst to make a difference in the demand for our animals and products and meet consumer needs. The Beef Checkoff Program also funds promotion programs such as the "Beef. It's What's For Dinner@" campaign. 'It Swas established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill, with state beef councils playing a key role. These councils retain up to 50 cents of each $1 collected in the program, forwarding the other 50 cents to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board. which administers the national program subject to USDA. approval.

Billy Graham Fax-352-463-7393 Gilchrist County Journal Woodland Craft 352-463-7135 Signs Senator Rod Smith Honored By National Center For Victims Of Crime Florida Senator Rod ,Smith (D-Gainesville) recently re- ceived the Legislative. Leader- ship Award from the National Center for Victims of Crime. The award, for legislators who protect and advance the rights of victims of crime, recognizes.. Senator Smith's leadership in preserving the civil justice rights of Florida residents and visitors ' to the state. Senator Smith ac- cepted the honor at a luncheon at the Sheraton World Resort in Orlando. "Senator Smith's determina- lion to prevent crime and pro- tect victims' rights within the civil justice system makes him ..a 'natural' for this honor," said National Center for Victims of ,Crime Executive Director Mar Lou Leary in announcing the award. Senator Smith's distinguished career includes a series of vic- tories for victimss of crime. As state attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit in Gainesville, he established the circuit's first special prosecutions unit to :crack down on crimes against %\omen and children. In 1994. he successfully prosecuted se- rial killer Danny Rolling who murdered file college students. In prosecuting these cases, Senator Smith sought a court order to prevent the media from gaining access to crime scene :and autopsy photographs of the students' bodies. As state attorney, he also convinced the Florida Legislature to pass a law prohibiting perpetrators (or others) from profiting financially from selling the store of heinous criminal acts. In the Florida Legislature, Senator Smith has sponsored S'legislation to require notifica- tion of victims within 30 days if an inmate is approved for work release: give victims the right to have the courtroom cleared when a sex crime victim testi- fies, give victims the night to preview the pre-sentence inves- tigative report of a defendant considered for adjudication as a youthful offender; and fund the court system on fees collected from criminals. Senator Smith also co-au- thored'a bill to protect victims' pri\ ax c 6" *n e dpti 'tdr i'flitbs and recordings of autopsies in ..the possession of a medical "NEED A FENCE OF ANY KIND CALL DANNY ANYTIME."

More recently, Senator SSmithy played a key role in defeating legislation to curtail the legal liability of Florida businesses that negligently fail: to provide adequate security on their property. If the law had passed, businesses would have had less incentive to provide security. Senator Smith made' an impassioned plea on behalf of victims, urging the senate to keep Flondians safe from vio- lent criminals. His argument that public safety should trump corporate profits helped secure bipartisan support to defeat the bill. "Rod Smith is the crime victims' voice in the Florida Legislature." said Jeff Dion, . deputy director of the National Crime Victim Bar Association, an affiliate of the National Cen- ter for Victims of Crime, in pre- senting the award. "Rod Smith gets it." said Dion, praising the senator's "articulate, passion-? ate advocacy for victims of crime." Show n from left'are Ali.-sa Stewart, Als.

We went into Iraq to eliminate a global terrorist threat and to bring the fight to the Middle East before it came again to U.S. soil. We are still there because the overall mission requires more than the elimination of key infrastructure and personnel. Our leadership has the goal of establishing Iraq as a free nation, which would serve as a beacon of hope in the Middle East. Substantial progress has already been made, but we cannot afford to pull out even if our -ongoing war runs contrary to America's obsession %with instant gratifica- tion. But a war that lasts for three years is by no means an indication that U.S. Forces are losing as many in the media al- lege. On the contrary, the U.S. military is winning, but what the media and indeed Americans as a whole lack is a realistic defini- tion of victory. For years, such terrorist organizations as Al Qaeda have sent militants across the borders and into Iraq to at- tack U.S. and Coalition Forces. We are winning every time we eliminate a terrorist within Iraq who might otherwise conduct operations in America. We are w inning every time an Iraqi entrusts U.S., Coalition, or Iraqi Security Forces with his or her life by exerting the most basic freedom %we so often take for granted on Election Day. We are % inning every time an Iraqi child gets an education and every time a new unit of highly-trained and capable Iraqi Security Forces enlists to protect their nation's interests. Finally. we are win- nming every time a young man or woman in America raises his or her right hand and takes the oath to protect the United States of America against all enemies. foreign or domestic. The ongoing War on Terrorism has tested everyone's patience in the years following the attacks of 11 September, 2001. but 1 am ashamed of how the American media has handled it. In WWII, more U.S. Soldiers were lost in single battles than during the entire Global War on Terrorism. But would the outcome have been the same if the media had only shown the kamikaze attacks and if no one back home knew of the magnitude of .Hitler's cruelty? ,.It .is every,,Amercan's, righrrtroppose tbe \~ar.-arght It enlisted to protect and deployed to impart to the people of Iraq. And it is the right of free press to inform every American of the ongoing war. But it is irrespon- sible of the media to continually highlight every explosion that occurs in Iraq with no emphasis placed on the good news stones. I recognize that sensationalism sells, but at what cost? For that matter. wh\ is there so little coverage of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan--is it' because of the lack of explosions or the abundance of progress? They 'say that no news is good news, but ifall hews is bad news is it any wonder that support for the ongoing War on Terrorism is dwindling? In conclusion, every red- blooded American owes it to themselves and to their nation to see what service they can pro ide for their country and what the military, in turn, can do to make him or her a better person. I've served in Iraq and ha e reenlisted as a soldier m the greatest army on earth because I belie% e in w hat we are doing and want my daughter to grow up in a better, safer world. I want oth- ers to believe in what we are do- ing as well. and want the Ameri- can media to present a balanced view of the war. I want to watch the news and see not just the ac- tions of the few within Iraq who %want freedom to fail, but also the stories of those who are eternally grateful for their newfound lib- erty. Finally, I want people to know this: Even if the rest of the nation is growing weary of the ongoing War on Terrorism, the U.S. military is resilient and will do whatever it takes to ensure that our country, and indeed our future, remains secure. k RRIMKK OutstandingAgents.

Disclosure Simpts put. Disclosure means ,that a Seller of Rejl property must disc.,sc .ill facts which affect the 'ajlue ol t ihj property to potential Bu',ers In .ddiion 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. al SernceWithA Personal Touc/r ------- ------- I mmmmmmw K JIU KRSD i I, IVL tK -n H UJ .UUU D.. ... .. .

There had been quite a few upgrades bver the past few months and, Steve Buckles, the SVL Presi- dent, was pleased to say more upgrades were being planned thanks to the generosity of dona- tions from our community. Stele Buckles was also proud to announce a very special event that was taking place that Friday night. The evening was named Cloud Haley night and Mr. Haley was honored for all his hard work and dedication to the Suwannee Valle. League and its kids by ha] ing the second field named after him. Field B % ill now be called "Cloud Hale\ Field.'" He %\as also presented Suzanne DeChamplain Awarded National Reining Horse Association 2005 Limited Non-Pro World Champion (Continued from Page One) - 30 years old) the dream she had was slowly becoming a reality. Suzanne has been riding, horses most of her life, in 1995 after marrying Marc, a rein- ing horse trainer, she decided to try her hand at that as \\ell. She did not want her husband "telling her what to do" so she found herself a trainer in' Ocala, with a trophy to remind him of all the people who appreciate all he has done for his community. Mr. Haley was quite moved by the presentation and thanked everyone who has helped make' the league the success that it is. He thanked his mother, Irrus Haley. for her support along \%ith his father for giving him the gift of sports as a child. He also thanked his wife, Jennie, and children, Brice and Brianna, for their support in his endeavors over the years. Charles Smith; he has made more non-pro champions than any other trainer. In 2004 she was considering something dif- ferent in her life; this 63 year old grandmother of five had raised her children, created a beauti- ful home and wanted to prove to herself she still had more to do. She spoke to Marc about her thoughts and he encouraged her to follow her dream and go for the championship. So she worked long and hard with Charles and with his help would meet the next "love of her life," Docs Wizin (a.k.a. Little Wiz) a nine-year-old Quarter Horse. After a lot of hard work and determination Suzanne and her friend Teresa left their husbands, Marc and Gary, to care for their homes. These two grandmothers hit the road in 2005 and never looked back. "What made it, 'neat for 'me was that I'm a grandmother ,of five" Suzanne explained, and much of her in- spiration came from her grand- children. "My grandkids would always call and say 'Go Granny Go'" right before a show. After months of proving she still: had what it takes these two ladies and their proud husbands made their %ay' to Las Vegas, Nevada for the National Rein- ing Horse Convention and Awards Banquet.

I hope your storyI cant inspire other grandmothers Former Professional Pitcher Pleads Guilty For Taking Money To Play Softball For 'DOC Attorney General Charlie Crist recently announced that a former minor league baseball player pled guilih in connection with the ongoing investigation into the state Department of Corrections. Former pitcher with the Houston AsLros Nark Guerra must repay the $1,400 he received for playing on a tournament softball team and must complete 50 hours of community service. The case was prosecuted by the Attorney' .General's Office of Statewide Prosecution'. Guerra, 34, was charged for accepting paychecks for work never done at a North Florida prison library. -Instead of working, he took the more as an incentive to play on the winning team in the former DOC secretary Jim Crosby's softball tournament last Nlay. according to an affidavit issued for his arrest last October. Yesterday's guilty plea allows Guerra to avoid prison time in exchange for his cooperation in the ongoing state and federal investigations. "It is disturbing that a state agency would place so much importance on a team sport that it would stoop to committing crimes," said Crist. "We will continue to provide whatever assistance is necessary to rid this department of the corruption that has become all too evident. I commend Governor Bush for appointing Secretary McDonough, who is aggressively leading the department to integrity and accountability." Guerra's arrest came on the heels of the apparent suicide of Keith Davidson, a Corrections captain under investigation for sexual assualt. Other arrests included Allen Clark, the former prison administrator and two other corrections supervisors. Crosby resigned, under pressure from Governor Bush. Interim Secretary Jim McDonough has since fired an additional nine top officials within the department and has demanded reform from the entire system.

There are no losers just winners, when you seek to inspire, So lets do it today, then we'll retire." DOH Reminds Of The Risks Associated With Consuming Raw Oysters Officials %with the Department of Health (DOH) urge high risk Floridians to avoid consuming raw oysters, %which often harbor the naturally occurring bacteria Vibrio vulnificus. "It's important to realize that most cases of Vibrio vulnificus can be avoided by taking the proper precautions." said DOH Secretary John 0. Agwunobi, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H. "There are several cooking techniques individuals in high risk groups can use to enjoy oysters while remaining safe." Those most at-risk for devel- oping serious, illness from Vi- brio vulnificus include heavy drinkers with liver damage and people with certain health con- ditions such as liver disease, diabetes, cancer, stomach disor- ders or any illness oi treatment that weakens the immune sys- tem. While otherwise healthy persons eating raw oysters with this bacterium are less suscepti- ble to becoming ill. at-risk indi- viduals are more likely to be- come extremely ill or die. People in these high-risk groups are also at risk of illness if they have wounds or cuts and wade in estuarine areas or seawater where the bacteria might be present. Thoroughly cooking oysters, either by frying, stewing or roasting, eliminates harmful bacteria and viruses in the meat. Consuming raw oysters that have undergone a post-harvest treatment process to eliminate the bacteria can also reduce the risk of illness. Initial symptoms of Vibrio vulnificus infection can include mild nausea, vomit- ing or diarrhea, followed by distinctive swollen skin lesions, and septicemia (blood poison- ing). If someone experiences these symptoms after consum- ing raw- oysters, they should contact their personal physician immediately for diagnosis and to receive antibiotic treatment. Last year, the Florida De- partment of Health investigated 37 cases of Vibrio vulnificus, 11 of which resulted in death. Twelve of the cases were attrib- uted to wound exposure; ten of the cases and five deaths were attributed to the consumption of raw oysters; and the method of exposure of fifteen of the cases e and six deaths were undeter- rnal mined. et For more information, please visit DOH's Web site at www.doh.state.fl.us and choose ^- "Food and Waterbome Disease" S from the subject list.
