Dan Taylor welcomed the crowd and expressed his appreciation to those who came out on a hot day to pay tribute to some very important individuals to our country. Mr. Taylor presented a, plaque to Harold Mikell, a member of the Gilchrist County Historical Society, and WWII veteran, for his work with the historical society and his assistance in bringing today's events together. Tommy Langford, Gilchrist County Commissioner, presented Dan Taylor with a check for $250 for the historical society from the Gilchrist County Republican Party.

Mark Twain Next Saturday is the annual Chiefland Watermelon Festival. Fact is, around Trenton this time of year you can't miss that it is melon harvesting time. Semi after semi of melons are leaving the Suwannee Valley daily and even nightly. Friday night John and I drove out to the Farmers* Market and Billy Smith's watermelon shed and the activity was fast and furious. After., talking to a melon grower last week I understood how our strange spring weather has. affected this year's crop. Speaking of weird' weather, Sunday afternoon we had a crazy storm, which not -only brought about to inches of rain but also buckets of marble and larger size hail to our yard. I sure hope no, melon. patches, were. in the path of that storm. Speaking of %%atermelon I just lo\e it, don't \ou? NI\ children and John are big fans of ic\ cold fruit salad. I, make this several times a -year. I hae a Watermelon baler thai makes quick work of watermelons and cantaloupes alike. The "ka\ %\e 'make fruit salad is to ball-up a couple of watermelons. t1o cantaloupes and one honede\\ melon. To all this melon add blueberries, strawberries and sometimes kin i. On special occasions like the 4th of Jul% \%e usuallI sern e it in a hollo%%ed-out melon. Through the \ears the Southern Sisters have served this mixed melon fruit salad at several weddings, The trick to making it ahead of time is to store each t pe melon or fruit in a separate zipper top bag. When you are ready to mix it all up. dip out the melon from the bag leaving all the extra' juice in the bottom of the bag. 'By keeping all the- ingredients in separate bags it keeps the flat or of the fruit fresher. If you mix it all up the day before not only will you have way -too much juice in the salad but all the individual flavors just 'blend together, If you. add fresh peaches wait till the last minutes to peel and cut them up so they don't turn brown. The following fruit dip is realI quick and easy to make. It looks pretty served in a hollowed-out cantaloupe shell. The can-' taloupe can be 'cut in a zigzag pattern or the edges can be, scalloped. 1 8-ounce package cream program and honor the veterans that have severed in our countries armed forces. This" program was very rewarding. For A Different Gospel (Kent Heaton) The good news of salvation is found in the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel is referred to on many occasions throughout the .New Testament. "Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people" (Matthew 4:23). Mark begins his book with "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God" (Mark 1:1). The early disciples went throughout the land "preaching the gospel" (Acts 8:25). Paul defined the gospel in Romans 1:16 as the "power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." The gospel will judge all men in the last day (Romans 2:16). Men will be punished for not obeying the "gospel of our Lord Jesus" (2 Thessalonians 1:8).The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ and through the message of the gospel men obey the will of the Father. Religious men proclaim the gospel in their own terms today. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the word of Christ found in the Bible. Examining the gospel preached by man today finds lacking the words from the word of God. This-is not a new problem as Paul addressed the same dilemma in Galatians 1. "I am amazed that you are so, quickly deserting Him 'who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ" (Galatians 1:6-7. Paul warns the churches of Galatia of the reality of a "different gospel. Many had turned aside to this different message of salvation and followed a perverted, troubling and distorted gospel. Men today preach a perverted gospel when they preach matters that cannot be found in scripture. The religious world is troubled by a message that is not sanctioned from God. A distorted view of God and His plan of salvation is accepted by the masses as the will of God. . How can we tell if the gospel has been tainted? If the Bible is the divine word of God; received by men and delivered to other men through inspiration; preserved by God's power through the centuries and received by men today; how can we teach anything not found in scripture? The Bible is the divine word (2 Timothy 3:16,17); men received the message and delivered it to others (Ephesians 3:3,4) and.has been kept through the centuries by God's power for all men today. Yet, most of the religious world follows a gospel that .is a different gospel, for what they practice is nowhere to be found within the pages'of God's word. Peter proclaimed:. "Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God" (1 Peter 4:11). How simple to find everything that we practice, believe and teach in the Bible. Legions are the things that churches practice and believe -today that can never be found in the Bible. Yet they continue to preach a gospel that is different than what the Bible says. Examine the church you are a part of and make certain that everything everything that is taught is found in the word of God. The name of the church, the organization, the pattern of benevolence, the plan of salvation, etc. must be found in God's word. If it is not found in the word of God reject it and challenge your church leaders.

In response to the weekendd . I believe some words I have used in the past are %worth repeating. In particular, it is regretful that the devastating impacts of armed conflicts have a way of fading from memory If nothing else, the continual bloodshed ,in Afghanistan and Iraq should remind all of us that we have, a Memorial Day holiday for rea- sonsbother than just setting up" the barbecue grill.4 Moreo er, ftr thqse of us who saw Vietnam regurgitate the remains of our friends and classmates, the' day holds par ticular significance. Now I am sure you are asking yourself how those comments, relate to investing on WVall Street. They do not...except to point out that we must occasionally turn our focus away from what we can get and instead concentrate on .what we can give back. Traditionally, this is also the time of the year %%hen I discuss the subject of when and what to sell. Given that we just con- cluded Memorial Day weekend, I "Xould suggest .ou contemplate the words penned over a centurN ago by Catherine Lee Bates in the song, "America the Beauti- ful." She %wrote. "Confirm thy .soul in self control Forecasted market trends are not a reason to sell. At the same time,' never letothers, especially those who stand to make a com- mission, make the decision for you. It is nearly impossible to go wrong implementing a buy and hold strategy. In the trade, this 'goes by the name of a "low turnover" portfolio and .it is the antithesis of the brokerage in- dustry. Unrealized profits are never a reason to sell. Remember that a portion of any unrealized profit belongs to Uncle Sam. As long as you do not sell, you can continue to use his money to en- hance your gains...interest free. Does this mean you never sell a stock? No, of course not, espe- cially if a company is suffering from deteriorating management, inadequate cost controls, ques- tionable accounting practices, a lack of innovation or unfavor- able industry trends. Now I know what you are ask- ing yourself, are there any stocks I recommend selling? Last year at this time I mentioned the airlines and the domestic auto manufacturers. That viewpoint has not changed, with the ex- ception of .Southwest Airlines. Although there are several close contenders, GM's management is probably the most unenlight- * ened of any major company. I would also avoid or sell Merck. That decision was not an easy one. However, the Vioxx debacle is a clear indicator that the company does not warrant shareholder trust or money at this point in time. The same holds true for the entire tobacco Gilchrist County Remembers When... 'Life is like a vapor. I can hardly believe it's been 50 years. This is a picture of the graduating, class of 1956.

He passed on the hope, that his classmates will take these words to heart on a "global" level and ask not what the world can do for them, but what they can do for their world. Superintendent Vickers congratulated the graduating seniors on their accomplish-, ments and in becoming life long learners. He encouraged them to remember that the world today is, very different from the one they started with in Kindergarten.

These words begin the Preamble to our American Legion Constitution. Without members meeting together to work on the many programs in today's .merican Legion, these programs will not be completed and our community will lose. Many of our Legionnaires are involved in our communities wearing: more than one "hat". These members may be with the Crime Watch, school volunteers, working with a after school programs, ol unteering with elderly and other organizations, xolunteerng in a hospil or the VA system, but they are giving back to the community with their actions. More people are needed, always. If you're a veteran and your dates of service fall in the "eligible eras" consider joining your local American Legion Post and get involved in your community. The Memorial Day program on last Monday was put together by a dedicated group of volunteers that wanted to give the community a way to honor those veterans that gave their all for our freedoms, and to honor those who served as well. The American Legion organization is a volunteer operation and to get the job done, volunteers are required. Join with the Legionnaires to continue "Serving America". Saturday, June 3rd, at Post 58 in Dunnellon, the Fourth' District will hold the Constitutional Conference and elect the new Commander and Vice-Commanders for the coming year as well as the delegates to the National Convention. Plan to be a part of that meeting. Post 58 is on US-41, just north of the Wal-mart super store. Registration will begin at 09:00 and the meeting will begin at 10:00. A light meal will be served after the meeting. June 6th, at 7:00 is the regular monthly meeting at Newberry's Post 149, for the Legion and the Legion Auxiliary. June 8th is the Post 91 Executive meeting of both the Legion and Legion Auxiliary and the committees will be planning for their Installation of Officers on the 15th of June. Plan to attend that night to show support for the new Officers for the coming year. All members are requested to bring "light snack foods" to share. More information will be put out at the June 8th meeting. June 14th is Flag Day. Look at your flags. Do they need replacing? Now would be the time to do just that. Remind your neighbors, too. Then, bring the old and worn flags to your Legion Post for a proper retirement ceremony. Continue to remember our Armed Forces daily in your thoughts and prayers, for those here and abroad, especially those in "Harm's Way". Remember too, the families of those service members deployed around the world. Here at home, watch over our Legionnaires too, helping out where and when you are able and let the Post Chaplain know of any sick or troubled Legionnaires, veterans and widows. That, too, is part of what the American Legion does. For God and Country, Wayne Gravely, Post 149, Newberry Dn- T'ri... t Streetwise I IUJ-11'TRjthAV1, MP 1' An 1, z4Pu T jITNTY TLT IRNAT.

And the others who planned to attend and two, other guests? We missed you. Three guests joined us and they helped make the day quite exciting.: A discussion on membership was. held. The assembly can nrot function without funds or with- out members. Donations are acquired by. members request- ing them. Anyone requesting funds must identify themselves as members with proper identi- fication We are ans%%erable not only to each other but also to' the State of Florida as a Non-Profit organization. Plus we simply' don't have a fairy godmother; some very generous members, yes, for whom we are very grate- ful. This brings me to the topic of expressing gratitude. The direc- tors need to get together again and make it 'known to whom we are to forward "Apprecia- tion Certificates." Our year runs from September to September. This can serve as a reminder that dues will be due before our sec- ond Tuesday of the month meet- ing in September 2006. Annual dues are remaining' at $12.00 a year. Dues do not carry the Assembly, they only serve to get newsletters out to you and press releases out via newspapers and radio stations and other sources. We plan to meet more often during the summer months on Saturday or Sundays, usually 11: 00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. You will be notified either by telephone or a note..

There were 66 students in- %olhed in the production in all from acting to stage crew. There were many \olunteers this sear including stage manager Renee Hastings and prop master Janice Beach. Director, Krista Perry- man. has been directing the TES drama program since 1999. She directs a Christmas musical and spring musical each year. She has written several of the show s performed as %well. technical di- rector. John Yencho. directs the THS drama program. i.He does a fall show each' years. Four years ago Mrs. Perry man and Mr. Yen- cho decided to. join forces and combine the two drama groups for a large spring show. The first one %was titled "A Walk Through Time on Broadway." It was a, piece written by Mrs. Perryman based around Broadway mu- sicals that she and Mr. Yencho had compiled together.: Enough money was raised on that show to do "Wizard of Oz" the next year. Each year it .gets bigger -and bigger. One would only wonder how each show. could get any better. Again they \went over the top with Oklahoma. They would like to thank ex- eryone who helped both "physi- cally and through donations. We hope to'see your support in the years to come! THANK YOU GILCHRIST COUNTY! Remember, each show costs a lot of money to produce.

From The Shelves Of The Bell Library Mark your calendars. On Sat- urday July 1. 2006, the Town of Bell %%ill sponsor a fundraiser to benefit Bell Library. The public is invited and encouraged to at- tend, starting at 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., at the new park west of Bell on Paris Street off high- way 129. There will be food, fun and games. A cake-baking contest will be held with first, second and third prizes awarded. Your attendance and support will be appreciated. Remember the Bell Library serves everyone as the cultural center in our town. For the beginning reader we suggest Mr Potato Head Gets Dressed, a playskool book that has flip-out pages. Mr. Potato Head starts to look for his glasses and when he looked in the closet he found a mop and thought that it was his wig, next he found a flower pot and thought it was his hat. When he found his glasses he knew he had to get dressed all over. Read the book and do the flip outs to see what other silly things he had put on as he did his search. That Morals Thing written by Fred Hartley gives teenag- ers some advice about drug use and other"wrong acts we should avoid. This is a good book for the junior/teenage groups. For the adults who have read the Da Vinci Code there is a re- buttal called Cracking Da Vinci's Code available in the library.

Pat Members of the Levy' County Quilt Museum" Visit The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranch Recently I was invited to go ,to Live Oak to the Sheriffs Boys Ranch for a visit. We haxe been dealing with Camp Caruth in In- glis now.for about five years but I have never been able' to visit the Boys Ranch. So like Bran- nen, who is the director at Camp. Caruth,, invited Pat Osowieki and me to visit them. " We were ready at 9 a m. when Mike came by to pick us up. .When we arrived at the Boys Ranch the first thing that I no- ticed was this huge water oak tree. It must have spread a block wide. I have never seen such a beautiful tree as that one. As we drove on into the camp, everything was so clean, there wasn't a scrap of paper, there x\as nothing on the grounds. And as we got to the first build- ing. we were told we would have a guide. So %we waited a little bit and \who droxe up but Ste\e Bryant and Georgette, his wife. whom I had know n since the first Wal-Mart at Chiefland w\as built. He was the first manager there but I hadn't seen him in such a long time:.. : Steve and Georgette work at the Boy s Ranch as .'cottage parents.' Iknew they were there :and I w\as hoping I would get to see them, and.I did. And what a wonderful da. we had. We started our tour. As we rode along we went over tob. the horse ranch where the boys learn to ride horses. Some of the boss are into rodeos. We passed a beautiful church where we found there had been some baptisms recently.

The boys tend to the chickens to make sure they furnish enough eggs for everybody to ha\e .eggs for breakfast. Then we went on down to the Suwannee River. The camp is on the river. but of course the water was low. but there were some local people fishing there. They were prob- ably hoping to catch a mess of fish for their dinner. And as we talked and learned about this place. we found that there is a woodworking shop where the boys could learn woodworking. Then there is an arts and crafts place \ here they can paint. The\ keep these bo s busy. There is also a school room where the boys have to go back to school to catch up. Whenever the\ catch up w ith the rest of the .children, they go to .the public school in Live Oak. Many of the boys are on the VAB honor roll and go on to collegeon scholar- ships. They also Nolunteer in the community. : As we talked and I learned all about what the place had we came to this big statue. It is the statue of the, man holding the hand of a young boy w ho is car- r_ ing a suitcase. The statue rep- resents the "H lpirig"Hanid Soci- ety," the group w% ho hat e w\ worked to prevent juvenile delinquency since 1957. Back in April 1 had the honor of receiving. a "Help- ing Hand Society" 'plaque as well as a pin I can wear for the help I have given the group. It was just a wonderful day. We went to the cafeteria and had a great lunch and we saw how the boys cleaned up everything. As we have gone to Camp Caruth we have learned the many things thee children have to do. There are rules and regulations which is good. If they do something which is not 'really right they are put on some sort of a punish- ment. As we rode around we saw three boys who were using shovels to clean around the ball field. Even though it was hot, they had to clean up because that was part of their punishment.. I was impressed with the train- ing the boys receive they can use Closings Title Insurance * Public Record Searches 302 North Main Street Trenton, Florida in life. They are taught how to apologize, how -to give a com- pliment, how to report peer be- havior, how to accept criticism, how to follow instructions, how to respond to peerpressure, arid how to negotiate. Simple steps are printed on a card which each boy carries in his pocket. The instructions for each circum- stance start with the instruction 'look the'person in the eye'. Our final tour that day was to Roger Bouchard's office. -Roger is President of the Florida Sher- iffs Youth Ranches. We have known Roger .now for quite awhile.. As .we went into the office we saw several people whom we have met through the years. Pat Raulerson. Roger's secretary, and we met different ladies in different offices who do the many things that it takes to run not only this camp, but five others. There is a girls villa down: tear Bartow. there is another bo s ranch near Safety Harbor, one at Brandenton/Sarasota. Camp Ca- ruth at Inglis, and another at Bar- berville. The residential services handle about 437 ouths. They also ha'e FamilN-based Coun- seling Services which provide in-home counseling, parenting classes, aftercare and referral services, and they handle 806 families throughout Florida. The camp handles all types of children. Sometimes they are homeless and need a place to lie. They are screened before the\ come in and theN must mind and do what "Mnom and Pop' say. The total number of cases opened since the group started in 1957 is 79,072. Ste\ e and Georgette are "Mom and Pop" to 12 boys. The\ take care of them and see to their needs. The Bryants hale really found their place in life and I am glad for them. We hate been invited to come back and bring the members of the Log Cabin Quilters to do a tour so they can see what we saw that day. I was so impressed with the camp. the people, and every- thing that was there. The entire operation is supported by private grants, not government grants. and donations from individuals and private organizations and companies. They refuse to have grants from the State of Florida 4nicd-that'i glad of.;. Thousands of children attend the camp programs each Near like Project Harmony. Har- mon, in the Streets and Summer Camp.

Of course the Sheriff's of each county lend their support and twice a year they have a.big .dinner at Camp Caruth to honor everyone who supports each of these camps.

Appointments Prefer Don't Be Tempted To Work "Under The Table" This Summer This summer many younger workers and seasonal employ- ees may be tempted by offers to work "under the table." They will find employers who agree to pay them directly, in cash, with- out deducting income or Social Security taxes. In the short run, that may sound like a good deal. But in the long run, it is foolish and will only hurt workers and their families. Here's why. . First, it's illegal for your em- ployer not to report your .earn- ings to the Internal Revenue Service, and it's illegal for you and your. employer'not to pay Social. Security taxes on your earnings. Not only do 'Social Security tax contributions build up future retirement benefits for 'workers and their families, but they also ensure that workers are eligible for Social Security disability and survivors benefit payments in the unfortunate event of injur. or death. Disability can happen -to any- one at any age. For example, did you know that almost 3 in 10 of today's 20-year-olds will be- come disabled before reaching age 67? Few people have long- term private disability insurance. but workers who pay Social Se- curity taxes have Social Security disability insurance. Younger workers w\ho haxe paid Social SecuritN taxes for as little as one and one-half years and have an injury or illness that will keep them off the job for a year or more could stan receiving a monthly disability check from Social Security. The average monthly disability benefit pay- ment in 2006 for a worker and his or her spouse and children is $1,571. .. - Also, it is important to under- stand that anyone w\ho qualifies for Social Security disability payments and remains disabled for 'two year's will qualify for Medicare benefits. Today there ' are many young people in their 20s who not only get a Social Security disability check *but also qualify for Medicare cov- erage. With Social Security survivors benefits, you have the comfort of knowing your dependents may be eligible for benefits when Nou die. Few of us want to think about it. but one in seen Ameri- ,cans \\ill die before reaching age 67. Social Security survivors benefits are paid monthly to the dependents of a deceased worker. .The average monthly survivors benefit payment in 2006 for a widowed mother and two children is $2,074. Today, disabled workers and their dependents account for 17 percent of Social Security benefits paid, and survivors of deceased workers account for 14 percent. If you and your employer aren't paying Social Security taxes, then- ,)ou may .not have that Social Security protection when you need it.

He is a brother to Judge Ed Philman and one of twelve children raised here in Gilchrist County on their family farm near Bell. Admiral Philman spoke of the importance of this day and how the observance of this day touches all of us. He made mention of the red poppies that had been handed out to everyone to wear and explained that the poppies are worn in honor of those who died serving the nation during wars. This tradition, has spread to other countries around the world. He also shared with the crowd a, few. lines from the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD of the Canadian Army. He explained that even from the gravethose who have been lost know the importance of fighting for our freedom and encourage their brothers to continue the fight for freedom. Admiral Philman assisted Major Stroupe in a very special .presentation to Gary Hale. He was a member of the US Army from October 16, 1968 until August 15, 1971. He served in, the Infantry as a Scout Observer in South Vietnam. Mr. Hale was presented the Vietnam Service Medal with one Bronze Star and the Army Commendation Medal for his service during the Viet-, nam war. He was also awarded the Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm Unit Citation Badge, but was unable to present their award to him on Monda\. As Mr. Hale was moved around in his service to his country during the Vietnam War, he was unable to receive these, accommodations- A very special ceremony. was performed this year with Open Mon. Fri. 710 East Highway 26 the assistance of "Ace" and his owner Bruce Borders of Branford and James McCook of ,Trenton. They performed a very touching "Riderless Horse" ceremony in which the boots of the fallen soldier are placed backwards in the stirrups of a horse (Ace) and the soldier's hat is placed in the saddle with the American flag. This ceremony was dedicated to the memory of our own Ricky Lord who lost his life in the name of our freedom in August 2004. A memorial wreath was unveiled to honor all of our lost men and: women. Over the years the meaning of Memorial Day has changed for many. For too many today it is a "day off with pay" and a good reason to go out and. have some fun. Fun is still fine to have on Memorial Day. but I hope that everyone will take a moment every day to remember those who have fought for our freedom in the past and are still- ensuring our freedom today. Our freedom, tomorrow will, depend on us and what 'we are willing to do when our freedom, land, and very likelihood is threatened. We want to thank all of our veterans for their .-commitment to our country and the families like Karen Latham, who gae more than they should eyer .have to give.

It is not simple, and sometimes almost impossible, to answer. - Property values have a multitude of variables. One factor that affects property value is location. Being on a paved road for instance adds significant value. - Another factor is what is on the land itself. A piece of land that is mostly established pasture with some picturesque granddaddy oaks is more valuable than a similar parcel that is planted in pine. - The size of the land is a variable that is very important. In most cases, smaller parcels bring a higher per acre price than larger ones. Based on recent sales, the average of 10 acre parcels range from $11,000 to $15,000.00 per acre. On the other hand, 5 acre parcels are averaging a' slightly higher $12,000 to $16,000 per acre. - If you are interested in finding out the value of your property, call me today to schedule your no obligation Market Analysis. -Seervices PRESSURE WASHING.

Since 1988, the FWC has offered these alligator hunts, which provide a thrilling, hands- on hunting adventure unlike any other hunting experience imaginable. Starting this year, the season will include 41 additional hunt- days and will run August 15th to No ember'1st. Hunters also will be able to purchase additional permits if available, but they can purchase only one permit per transaction. More than 4,000, alligator har- vest permits will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Sale of these permits begins 10:00 a.m. (EDT) June 15th. Applicants have their preference of applying at an\ county tax collector's office, license agent (retail outlet that. sells hunting and. fishing licenses), online. at MyFWC.com/license or by calling toll-free 1-888-HUNT FLORIDA (486-8356). To purchase a permit, ap- plicants must submit payment' for an alligator trapping license and two alligator-hide validation tags, or provide proof of a valid alligator trapping license (must be valid through November 1st) plus pay the fee for the two hide validation tags. No other hunting licenses or permits are required. The cost for a resident alliga- tor trapping license and hide validation tags is $272, and nonresidents pay $1,022. The cost for additional permits is $62 regardless of residency. An alligator trapping "agent" license is also available for $52: This allows the'license holder to assist a trapper in taking alliga- tors but only when in the pres- ence of the permitted trapper. To educate participants on the rules and regulations of the 'hunts, the FWC offers a no-cost, three-hour training and orienta- tion program throughout the' state., Alligator hunters are not required to attend. but first-time participants are strongly\ encour- aged to do so. Courses will be offered in July and August, and all permit holders w ill receive. by mail, packages listing exact dates and locations. of these training sessions.

Gallagher Urges Residents To Take Advantage Of Tax Savings And Prepare For Hurricane Season Tom Gallagher, Florida's chief financial officer and state fire marshal, is urging Florid- ians to take advantage of the Hurricane Preparation Tax Free Holiday, going on now until June 1st, when the 2006 hur- ricane season begins. Gallagher also announced that the Depart- ment of Financial Services is offering a Hurricane Toolkit to help homeowners organize their financial information. so recovery can begin more quickly in the e':ent of a disaster, along with a checklist they can use to review their insurance coverage with their agent. "Another active hurricane sea- son is in the forecast and, while -we can't control the weather. we can control its' impact on our lives," said Gallagher. who as CFO oversees the Department of Financial Services and as state fire marshal oversees search and rescue operations when the Red Belly Day Belly Flop Winners Winners of the Jumbo Belly-flop category (226 & up) first place Mike Brigman of Cross City, second place Allan Weaver of Dixie, Georgia and third place Timothy Boyd of Orlando.

"It is vitally important to take personal responsibility now by stocking up on supplies and preparing your home, your fi- nances and your family." Galla-, gher said. "The more we prepare now, the quicker we will be able to respond and recover from any potential hurricane." The tax holiday is intended to provide an incentive for Florid- ians to stock up on items like. flashlights, batteries, generators and storm shutters, and is ex- pected to generate more than $41 million in tax savings. For more information on items in- cluded in the tax holiday, visit www.fldfs.com and click on "Hurricane Season 2006." Eight storms struck Florida in 2004 and 2005 and damaged an estimated one in five homes. To help lessen potential hurricane damage, the Legislature and governor earlier this month ap- proved $250 million for inspec- tions and matching grants to help Floridians enhance their homes so they can better withstand a storm. The department is cur- rently working to implement the program, and Gallagher said the program is expected to be in place by early fall. In addition to taking advan- tage of the tax holiday, Gallagh- er is urging homeowners to use the department's new Hurricane Toolkit to organize their finan- cial information. The toolkit will help jump-start the recovery process should disaster strike. "We've learned to take steps to minimize the physical dam- age storms can inflict; however, many of us may not think about being'financially prepared for a storm," Gallagher said. "This toolkit will provide the financial tools you and your family will need to recover from a disaster." The department has also cre- ated a checklist, available at www.fldfs.com. designed to help Floridians review their coverage with their agent and understand what their policy covers and what their potential out-of-pock- et costs could be. Gallagher said consumers should understand' whether they have "replacement cost" or actual cash value" for a covered loss and what their deductible would be under each potential peril. In. addition, homeowners should strongly consider adding flood insurance and law and ordinance cover- age to help pay for rebuilding an older home to meet current building codes. Gallagher said Floridians also should: Inventory. your household items, including receipts, pur- chase dates and serial numbers. -Photograph or video-tape your possessions. Keep copies of this information and your insurance policies in a safe place and keep the originals in a safe deposit box. Write down the name, address and claims-reporting telephone number of your insurance com- pany, which may differ from your agent's contact informa- tion. Keep this information in a safe place and make sure you have access to it if you are forced to evacuate your home. Designate a relative- or friend who lives outside of the area or the state as a family contact in the event of a disaster. This is a person your family should call if they get separated during a storm. Create a disaster survival kit. Each member of your family-- including pets--should have their own survival kit that includes water, food, extra medications, flashlight and batteries, photos of other family members, con- tact numbers, cash and/or credit cards and a change of clothes.
