During Opening Ceremonies Watermelons And Green Beans


By Anna Wild
On Friday, March 24, 2006
the Suwannee Valley League's
Baseball, T Ball, and Softball
teams took to the field at McAr-
thur Park to celebrate a new
opening season. 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.
There was much to celebrate
this night as the league burned

which was for $25.000 that was

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.

with "reining" it is the art of

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.

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.

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. In order to be
fair to all of the candidates seek-
ing public office, the Journal
"will only publish the endorse-
ments that'are paid ad'ertise-
ments. .
The Gilchrist Count) Journal
: has never endorsed a candidate
in a local political race. I can't
say that this publication never
will, but at this time there has
been no decision made to en-
dorse a candidate that is seeking
political office in the 2006 elec-

By Lauren Rudd
Wall Street has done rather
well lately and as we move into
the second quarter of the year
you want to be in a position to
take advantage of the upward
trend. That means you will need
a researched list of investment
candidates readily available. It
also means doing your research
now and not 20 minutes before
you decide to place a buy order.
So what is this week's
suggestion of a reasonable
investment opportunity?
Everyone needs guidance and
directional help once in a while
and Garmin Ltd. might just be
the company to provide you with
that kind of assistance.

Our Purp
(Kent I

In October of 2005, C. 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 commend our district
administrators for the job they
do. as they are charged with
finding solutions to difficult
problems which, ine itably. \ill
be unpopular \w ith someone.
A proposal to mole 5th grade
to Trenton Middle/High \as
presented to the board, followed
by lively objections from parents
and some teachers. By the end
of the meeting there were thrqe
possible solutions discussed;
.mo..ing-5th.gr.ade..mo% ing pre'k
and redistricting. 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

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).

From The

Shelves Of

The Bell
Library..
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.

by the year 2020, she projected
that we will have about 1,200
more school age children.

,. ,TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY

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

Questions Most Frequently Asked About Tangible Personal 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.

Tangible Personal Property please contact:

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.

Nevberry Road in Newberry This month's meeting \\ ll be on
April 4th at 7:00 p.m. and will feature a covered dish dinner by the

Sunday, April 9th, is a National Day of Recognition of
Returned Prisoners of War from all wars. This date coincides with
the surrender of Bataan and April 10th will be the 64th

survived those terrible times, and thank God that America has
pulled through to give us the best place on this earth to live.
On Saturday, April 15th, the Newberry Legion Post 149 is
co-sponsoring a Community Blood Drive in Newberry. The blood
mobile will set up in front of the City Hall across from Backyard
Bar-B-Que in the morning, then in the afternoon, it will move to
Hitchcock's to finish'the day.
Due to FDA regulations for protecting the nation's blood
supplies, some veterans cannot donate blood, due to places they
were stationed during certain years or even diseases they may
have been exposed to in the course of their service.. These
veterans still need blood supplies, and still want to give blood, but
cannot, due to the regulations for a safe blood supply. These
veterans gave for America when America called, now America can
give for these veterans. Donate blood for YOUR Vet! Look for
the big bloodmobile and stop by the Post 149 table to visit before
or after you donate. Post 149 Legionnaires, if you want to help
out at the table during the Blood Drive, let Wayne Gravely know
at the meeting on Tuesday, April 4th.
Remember the Auxiliary Appreciation Dinner at Post 149 on
Tuesday, April 4th at 7:00 p.m. Auxiliary Unit 149 doesn't have
to bring or fix anything ? or clean up! Come on down!

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. In recent years the
Federation has been leading a
grassroots effort to protect Flor-
ida's springs, many of which are
in trouble.
Fuller concludes, "We invite
the public to join us in this ef-
fort. -Please -visit our% website

protect Florida's. most. valuable

allow this structure to withstand
a 50-year storm by drastically
reducing the number of breaches
that have occurred in the past,"

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

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

"Pig and Crow" by Ka. Chorao.

participated in this event by
reading to the students at Trenton

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

our hearts drop because no one
answers back, or to hear a bone
chilling 911 call of a desperate
. child or spouse in need of help.
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.

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.

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'

Mallory Swamp To
Reopen For ATV Use
On April 8
The Suwannee River Water
Management District will reopen

2006, at the end of spring turkey
season.
The trail will remain open

examiner from public record
Slaws.
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."

there.


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.

OPPORTUNITY


-A.


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.

- 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,"

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

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.

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.
