Citizens of Gilchrist County: I have dedicated my career to the Gilchrist County School Sys- .. tem for the past 15 years as both a teacher and an administrator. I now would like. to serve you in the capacity of District 3 School Board Member. I grew up in Bell and graduated from Bell High School in 1982. I have a bachelor's from the University of Florida and a master's degree in education. I have taught at the elementary, middle and high school level and also have been an assistant principal at all three levels. My family and I are ac- Rob Rankin tive members of Mt. Nebo Bap-. tist and I look for guidance from God daily. I have been married to Natalie Shepherd for 20 years and have three beautiful children Reese 6, Faith 5, and Rhett 3. Reese will be in 1st grade at Bell Elementary and Faith will be in Kindergarten. My children and your children are the main reasons I have decided to seek election to the School Board. I'm uniquely qualified for this position because of the hundreds of hours I have spent in the classrooms in Gilchrist County and by participating in district meetings on the directions and goals of our school district. I want to make sure our A+ school system keeps moving for- ward. I have the desire and com- mitment to be a full-time school board member. I'm a product of our school system and hold a vast interest in its future. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible before the elec- tion. If you have any questions or input my number is 352-221- 4595. I hope you will consider my qualifications when voting for your District 3 School Board Member. Sincerely, Robert G. "Rob" Rankin We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the' ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

Mr. Mills was kind enough to join the group to remind them of the personal responsibility each of us has to ensure our own safety in the time of an emergency. As all of us are now aware we are in a time in which we are to expect more hurricane activity from June 1st through November 30 th. Because the number of storms and severity of these storms is expected to be higher than in the 'past each of us needs to make a plan on what we will do if a hurricane comes too close to us. The time to have a family plan is now, not when the storm is a day or two away.

Ayers On Saturday, June, 24, our daughter Carrie will turn 24 years old when. she takes the biggest step in her life, as she steps up to the stage to become Mrs. Adam Mizell. Yes, our little girl has grown up and we are very proud of her. When her fiance Adam first called me to have the big con- versation with me over lunch, I had mixed feelings regarding if, he was serious. I didn't know at, that time that I was actually the last to know that Carrie and- Adam were actually discussing marriage. Since that time I feel, that they have communicated with each other 'and they know and' share like 6oals for their future together. Carrie asked me one day what did I think of-Adam? Told her what I thought ofAdam was not important. The important, thing is did she and Adam know one another well enough to spend a lifetime together. I know Adam better now and I "think "that he iis'-a fine yoiuing' man. ,W Cindy Jo arid I have had the -. opportunity to meet and spend some time with Adam's famnil\ and we think the Mizell family are great people. We are espe- . cially pleased that they too have such a high respect for family values and they place their rela- tionship with Jesus Christ 'as.,a top priority in their lives. Carrie and Adam have. both' made the commitment as young Christians ,and have become members of the "same Baptist church in Callahan; . I recall the time when Bro. Charles Pinkerton 'sat down. with niy fiance and I to tell us %hat \\e needed to do to make our life together last forever., Many times over the 27 'years. on (July 28th), I, ha\ e recalled several of the points that he made and the commitment that 'we made to each other' and how important our marriage has be- come in our life. For us, this has made the difference in what I feel has been a successful life. together. We have been blessed with our children growing. up and becoming two outstanding young adults. Now both of these young adults have chosen indi- viduals that their mother and I think the world d of.

I last wrote about Best Buy a year ago, the company had just completed its -FY 2006 first quarter and the shares were trading -at $45..My earnings es- timate for the giant electronics retailer was $2.16 per share, with an estimated price target of $50 per share. In actuality Best Buy earned' $2,27 per share for FY 2006. As of last week the shares were trading at $52 after allowing for a 3-for-2 stock split this past August. The result \\as a capital gain of 15.6 percent, plus a divi-, dend \ield of 0.6 percent.. So no%% I ha'e a question for you. If you can invest in a stock like Best Buy., using a discount brokerage house where you, pay a one-time commission per trade of less than %10, and hold it undisturbed for a year with an annual return of o\er 16 percent. why do so many of ou w\ani to make this investing thing so dif- ficult? .

You simply pick out companies that you know and understand, that have a track record of earn-. ings and whose future you, your- self, can foresee.

No, of course not, especially if you only take into consideration a single one- year period. However, if you are careful in your selection, you will likely generate that level of return on average across your portfolio over a 3-to-5 year period. By now you are probably ask- ing yourself if Best Buy is still an excellent investment candi- date going forward. Although there are no certainties on Wall Street, we can probably generate an initial hypothesis by looking at some performance data and projecting out the company's intrinsic value. Understand that intrinsic value is not a projected share price, but rather an esti- mate of underlying value. Best Buy recently released its financial for first quarter FY 2007 ended on May 27, 2006. Earnings were 47 cents per share. Total revenue for the quarter increased 14 percent to $7 0 billion. Gross profit \\as 25 4 percent of revenue, a slight decrease from the 25 5 percent of revenue generated during the prior year's first quarter. Over- all. those are some excellent numbers. ' Calculatinegthe company' intrinsic 'alue using an earnings approach w ith a 15 percent earn- inas growth rate and a discount rate of 11 percent laterage re- turn on the S&P 500). yields a value of $S7 per share. :A more conservative free cash flow, to the firm model produces an intrinsic \alue of $6S per share In .either case, there is substantial alue in the shares that is not accounted for in the stock price. My FY 2007 earnings esti- mate for Best Buy is 52.72 per share. If the multiple orP/E ratio remains at about 21.5. then the shares should be trading at about' $58 in the next nine months for an annualized return of about 15 7 percent. plus the 0.6 percent di% idend yield.

Several quilters will be making one using the same colors. Since %e started the Log Cab- in Quilters in October of 1983. we have seen many changes, but quilting has made a great come- back with quilt clubs and guilds. Machine quilting has almost taken over but we keep hand quilting as we still say. "A quilts is only a quilt if it is hand quilt-. ed." If it is done on a machine it is a comforter. Our gazebo is almost done, at least the building is all done but Sthe roof. We will put benches inside, a step outside, and then we can enjoy it. Its canning and freezing time and there is nothing better than fresh vegetabless and fruit.

Ad- ditionally, the number of failing schools is on the decline, down to a fourth of the number of fail- ing schools in, 1999. " Superintendent Vickers praised the hard work and dedi- cation of all staff, teachers, par- ents and especially the students in achie' ing the great recogni-, tion. Superintendent Vickers went on to state, "that the call and congratulatory comments from.Chancellor Yecke not only, recognized Gilchrist County's high performance, but also that Gilchrist Schools were the first and oily district in the state to have all "A" schools. This is a great honor for our schools and reinforces the continued growth of Gilchrist County Schools as one of the highest performing school systems in the state." Don't Be Tempted To Work "Under The Table" This Summer This summer many younger !: workers and seasonal employ - ees may be tempted b\ offers to %work "under the table." The\ %ill find employers \ ho agree to pay them directly, in cash, w ith- 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 %\ill onl\ 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' Reltenue Service, and it's illegal for you and your employer not ,to, pay, Social SecuriN ta\es on %our earnings. Not only do Social Security ',1axI contributions build up future retirement benefits for workers and their families, but the\ also ensure that \workers are eligible for Social Secunrit) disability and survivors benefit pay ments, in the unfortunate event of injury or death : Disability can happen to an\- * 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 Securit1 disability -insurance. Younger. workers who have paid Social Security taxes for as little as one and one-half years and have an injury or illness that %ill keep them off the job for a year or more could start 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. Alo, it is important to under-' stand that anyone who qualifies for Social Security disability payments and remains disabled for two years 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 Sbe eligible for benefits when you die. Few of us want to think. about it, but one in seven Ameri- cans will die before reaching age 67. Social Security survivors benefits are paid monthly to the dependents bf 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 you may not have that Social Security protection when you need it.

Springhouse Quilters News Eighteen Springhouse mem- bers and one guest braved the rain on Tuesday, June 13th, to attend the monthly day meeting of Springhouse Quilters. The weather was not too bad until later in the day but that failed to stop 15 members from at- tending the night group meeting the same day at 6:30 in the eve- ning. While day group held a monthly business meeting in - the morning the night group held a. workshop on how to make a stack--and-whack quilt. Both meetings were very interesting and filled with a lot of good friendship-sharing time. Gloria Sutton displayed a, completed block-of -the-morith for June, named Arabic Lattice. which is. made in black and white. 'This is an unusual six inch block which can be totally changed in looks by the place- ment and selection of a variety of prints and. colors. The center is made by joining four, one and. a half inch squares and adding triangles to the outer edge of the, block or the pattern can be incor- porated into.a grandmother's fan by enlarging and adding a fan as the inner block. i ' Ruth Davis, Program Chair- person, has been collecting quilting tips' and shared 20 of the tips. The tips will all be con- solidated, printed and given to the membership at a later date. The most interesting tip Ms. Ruth gave was for quilters to use a Bass Pro worm bag for a tote to carry quilting supplies. Who would have thought that a worm bag would be a suitable tote! Elaine Faison gave a report on the first of three 4-H quilting camps. The advanced group finished their camp during the week of June 5th. The begin- ner camp will begin on Monday June 19th. At present, there are 17 4-H members enrolled for the camp. Show and tell during the regular meeting is always inter- left Jessica Stalvey, testing. Some items displayed were Goldie Bartusek with an antique quilt .she has recently completed and the advanced 4-H camp members displaying their 6-hour quilt the\ complet- 'ed during quilt camp week.

The agreement will affect the company's 919 Florida.stores and more than 9,300 outlets nationwide. Crist and 27 other attorneys general signed the agreement. . The Chevron settlement is the tenth such agreement pro-, duced by an ongoing multi-state enforcement effort in which Florida has actively participated. Previous agreements cover all 7-Eleven, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid stores and all gas stations and convenience stores operating under the Conoco, Phillips 66, Exxon, Mobil, BP, Amoco and ARCO. brand names in the participating states. The agreements provide measures to reduce sales of to- bacco products to minors by the nation's top retail chain (Wal- Mart), the top two drug store . chains (CVS and Walgreens), the largest oil company (Exxon- Mobil) and the biggest retailer of tobacco products (7-Eleven)'. Combined, the agreements, cover more than 70,000 retail outlets across the nation. "Every time a young Floridian is .prevented from purchasing tobacco products, that child's chance for a healthy life is improved," said Crist. "I am pleased that yet another major retailer has agreed to intensify efforts designed to curtail, teen tobacco use." Launched in 2000, the multi- state enforcement effort by the attorneys general focuses on retailers with poor records of selling tobacco products to mi- nors. Undercover inspections showed minors were able to, buy tobacco products at several Chevron stores. The enforcement program's goal is to secure the companies' agreement to take specific cor- rective actions. The agreements incorporate "best practices" to reduce sales to minors, devel- oped by the attorneys general in consultation with researchers and state and federal tobacco control officials. The agreement announced today requires Chevron to implement practices that will prevent youth tobacco retailing, at each of its company-owned stores. Chevron ,will also take steps to prevent youth access to tobacco at its franchise outlets in the participating states, includ- ing providing annual notices of the importance of complying with youth access laws, requir- j ,* Riverland Title Services, LLC 723 East Wade St., Trenton, FL 32693 Phone (352) 463-6333 Fax (352) 463-6340 devon'.'rts.cc www.rts.cc *Title Insurance *Real Estate Closings "Place &.

The attorneys general have long recognized that youth ac- cess to tobacco products ranks among the most serious public health problems. Studies show that more than 80 percent of adult smokers began smoking before the age of 18. Research indicates that every day in the. United States, more than 2,000 people under the age of 18 start smoking and that one-third of those persons ultimately will.die from a tobacco-related disease. Young people are particularly susceptible to the hazards of tobacco, often 'showing signs of addiction after smoking only a few cigarettes.

Gilchrist County Recognizes Flag Day By Anna Wild . On Wednesday, June 14, 2006 area Gilchrist Countx 4H clubs came to 'the Trenton Park to learn about Flag Day. They- invited representatives from the American Legion Post 91,, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the American Legion, and Boy Scout Troop 406 to' teach them about the importance. of Flag Day and also retire some American Flags that could no longer be flown. Major Stroupe froni the' American Legion Post 91 began by explaining why we burn flags that can not be flow n any longer. The Boy Scouts of Troop 400t were kind enough to carry out this ceremony by burning each flag individually until it was gone. then they would 'add the next flag into the barrel. Each flag was unfurled and placed 'in the flames stars side (union) first. This ceremony has been explained ,by some in, differ- ent ways. Some" onlookers, explained they. had been told the flag had to be disassembled before it could be burned. Major Stroupe explained that that is not what is explained in the federal rules: however. disassembling the flag for burning %would not show any disrespect and would also be an acceptable way of conducting the ceremony. This ceremony was conducted by the American Legion .and it, is recommended 'that you contact any local American: Legion. VFW, Elks Lodge, Knights of Columbus, Boy Scout or Girl Scout Troop for help in having your flags properly retired. Our local American Legion Post 91 'has offered to take all area flags' that need to -be, retired and they will insure' they are handled properly. While the flags were be- ing retired, Robert Robinson. Leader of Boy Scout Troop 406, explained some other flag rules with Major Stroupe. The chil- dren learned: that just because' a.flag touches the ground it does not; have to be burned: if the flaf .is soiled it can be washed 'and tlen.flown; when fl,,ing a flag at half-mast you first need to hoist it to the top of the pole . "then bring it back to half-mast; the flag should never be used as wearing apparel. When flags of States, cities, or local flags are flown with the US Flag on the" same pole, the US Flag should always be at the top And when flags of two:or more nations' are flown together they should be on separate staffs and flown at the same height. The order of precedence for flags would be the US Flag first then the others 'in, alphabetical order (English. for USA). There was a lIt of useful in- formation given at the ceremony and the 4H members wanted to thank the American Legion.Post 91, American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of the Amnencahn Legion, and Boy Scout Troop 406 for coming out and sharing their experience with them. You ,can learn more at www.ushistorv.org under flag rules and regulations. 1 With the 4th of July right around,, the corner I hope you will post the colors with pride and show the flag the respect it, has earned over the years.

With love and admiration, -: Your Friend, Rita President Bush Designates June As Great Outdoors Month President George W. Bush is- sued a proclamation designating June 2006 as Great Outdoors MNonth. This is the third year the month has cared national desig- nation. National Trails Da\ and the start of National Fishing and Boating Week are included in the designated outdoors month. .Great Outdoors Week begins with an action-packed agenda of activities around the country. The events will continue right to the end of the month with National Clean Beaches Week commencing on June 29th. :In our local area, the staff of the 'Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges invites you to enjoy recreational opportunities offered at both ref- uges. On the Le\% county side of the Lower Suwannee Refuge. the 1/3 mile Ri\er Trail is a' short shaded path to the historic Su% annee Rixer %%ith no sign of civilization other than the-boats that come and go on the river. If you. enjoy archeological sites or merely want to experience the view of the Gulf from an altitude of 30 feet,.tra\ el to Shell Mound for the da\. The adjacent Dennis Creek Trail, a one mile loop. is shaded with lush growth, except fotbr the three bridges that cross a salt barren that is alive with fiddler crabs. Take your fishing tackle and ihrow in your line From the fishing deck at Shell Mound. . Boaters take time to. familiar- ize yourselves with the unique islands of the Cedar Keys Na- tional Wildlife Refuge. Maybe take your daughter or son fishing before they think their i-pod is more fun. Whether you use a motor or you paddle your way, across Gulf waters, enjoy the, historic Atsena Qtie, with its hiking trail, 19th century cem- etery, and ruins of the Faber pencil mill. Beachcomb and swim off the point to counter the warm summer temperature. If you feel energetic, you could help the refuge by picking up lit- ter blown along the shore from passing boats and storms. America's citizens play an important role in protecting our natural spaces. Throughout our country, Americans are volun- teering in their communities with their local parks, refuges, and other natural areas for en- vironmental education, bird counts and other stewardship 'opportunities. You, too, can join your community in taking part in Great Outdoors Month. Shown are Rita Harris and Selna AIcClarigan matches and explosives, stings, snake bites, contaminated water and food poisoning. They com- pared exposures from 30 days before and up to one week after a hurricane's landfall. The system provides a collaborative, online -reporting system, displaying sur- veillanpe graphs and Geographic Information Systems mapping data with hour-to-hour updates that can be accessed in the of- fice or on a laptop in a car, in an airport or in the field. Health of- ficials rely on spikes in the data Hurricanes' Latent Hazards Tracked By Poison Centers With the start of this year's -hurricane season Thursday (June 1), Florida's residents are preparing for the all-too-familiar havoc the storms can wreak. But hurricanes cause more than flooding, high winds and power outages they also spawn public health hazards that often aren't evident until, days after winds' die and storm waters recede. Now, after fine-tuning it for the past two hurricane seasons, a University of Florida toxi-. cologist and state Department of' Health officials have pioneered a real-time system for monitoring storm-related public health haz- ards, including carbon monox- ide inhalation and contaminated food and water supplies. Using electronic data from' Florida's Poison Information Center Network hotline, the experts designed a surveillance sy stem to identify public health threats and make this informa- tion readily available o'er the Web to state health department epidemiologists. Florida health officials. for example. were able to track 200 percent to 300 percent spikes in' carbon monoxide and gasoline poisonings related to generator use after Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma made landfall last Near in Florida, according to data recently published in the Centers for Disease Control and Pre\ en- tion's NMorbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The CDC adopted the Florida model and used data pro\ ided b. the American Association of Poison Control Centers to monitor other hurricane-prone coastal areas, including Gulf Coast regions in the aftermath of Katrina. "The primary benefit is that you're not waiting g and reporting on things that happened three days ago; you're seeing some- thing and interacting in real time to stop it," said study co-author Jay Schauben. Pharm.D., a UF clinical professor of emergency medicine and pharmacy and director of the Florida Poison In- formation Center-Jacksonville. "The quicker \ou can identify a problem, the faster you can fo- cus your attention, the more in- dividuals you might spare doing 'the %\rong thing which h gets therm into trouble, health-wise. And I think that's the concept here." For example, higher-than-nor- mal reports of gastrointestinal distress in a small geographic area may indicate problems with a municipal \%ater supply. allowing health officials to \%arn , residents to s- itch to bottled \\ a- ter until the local '\ater source is cleared. Florida Department of Health officials started re viewing data collected by the Florida Poison Information Center Network during the 2004 hurricane sea- son. In 2005 the agencies began: monitoring poison control center records daily to see if any vere connected to. storm-related health hazards. "We monitored these hazards using a sophisticated. Web-based data-gathering system we al- ready had in place here that was originally designed to character- ize epidemiological information the incidence and spread of dis- ease for our statewide poison control centers," Schauben said. "Now this same system provides valuable real-time information and surveillance to identify pub- lic health threats left in the wake of hurricanes." Created by the Florida Leg- islature in. 1989, the network includes three poison control centers in Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville. Health profes- sionals and the public can call the network via the nationwide 4-hour, toll-free telephone "POISON HELP" hotline, 1- 800-222-1222. Poison informa- tion specialists at each center gather exposure and substance information from callers and enter it into a local database that is then uploaded within seconds to a statewide database, housed at the Jacksonville site. During the 2005 hurricane season, state health officials monitored expo- sure to carbon monoxide, hy- drocarbon fuels, batteries, fire, to help identify health-hazard incidences. "Data spikes provide clues and allow us to zoom in on something exactly when it's happening in a certain location," said Schauben. adding that the .system allows users to track patients names and addresses and then alert the nearest local health department of the inci- dent. "For example. we'll tell the local health department that we've had fihe carbon monoxide 'cases in a certain area in the past 24 hours and ask them to get out there 'and educate the people about generators," Schauben said. Operating generators in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas can lead to carbon mon- :oxide poisoning. Twenty-eight incidents, of carbon monoxide exposure were reported to the network in the two days after' Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Florida "A couple of %weeks after a hurricane hits, people start running out of gas because of gas shortages." Schauben added. "'When we saw data spikes for inhalation of gasoline. we stepped up our messages about using proper siphoning equipment." Department of Health epide- miologist Robyn Kay said that using a real-time, pre-existing sentinel surveillance system increases state health officials' ability to detect, public health hazards and prevent 'deaths. "Still, during emergencies and times of distress it's just as im- portant for' Floridians to think with a .clear mind 'about how to approach each situation as it. is for them to have.emergency plans to help ensure their safety before, during .and after the storm," she said. Schauben said he sees a future for the system in other states. "Poison control centers are the only entities in the country that have an infrastructure to share data between 64 centers (the number of centers in the United States) in real time," he said. "We detect it, we see it and we move on it." Santa Fe Community College Dedicates New Outdoor Geological Exhibit In a state where rocks are scarce, it's a novelty to visit one spot and see examples of 22 different types of rocks: Migmatite, a black and white metamorphic rock with a swirly pattern reminiscent of a hurricane's spiral.' A sandstone from Connecdticut stamped with the`footprint.of a dilophosaurus 200 million years : ago. An 11,000-pound gabbro boulder with light-colored veins of quartz and p rite. Santa Fe Community College dedicated its new Jean Klein Memorial Rock Cycle Garden on Tuesday, June 6. The garden's boulders encircle a sinkhole in front of the library at Santa Fe's NW campus at 3000 NVW S3" Street. a picturesque. park-like setting.. The rock c\cle, for all \ou non-geologist types, sho%\s that rocks can change from one rock t:pe to another o'er geologic time. The rocks are placed in 'order from early magma stage to later sedimentary forms, and a sign at each rock explains its origin, type, and donor. The rock garden is the result of Geology Professor Michael Patrick's vision and hard work. and is one of just a fe'v rock cycle gardens in the United States. "It's designed to instill in students and visitorss alike an appreciation ofthe beauty. origin. evolution and interrelationships between Earth's rocks." said Patrick. \ ho arranged for rock donations from quarries in states such as California. Oregon. Tenneseee and Colorado oer the past two years. The rock garden will be both teaching tool and inspiration. Patrick said. "It's one thine to hold a rock sample in your hand in a lab." explained Patrick. "It's quite another, experience to run \our fingers over a boulder ith real structure." The garden's namesake. Jean Klein. w'as a 31-year employee of Santa Fe. a geology professor Sand chairman of Santa Fe's science department for 13 years. Klein died in 2003. Teachers. parents., rock hounds all are invited to campus to check out the rock cycle garden.

FWC Ups Snook Minimum Size Limit Florida anglers need to note the Florida Fish and Wildlife- Conservation Commission (FWC) has added an inch to the minimum size for snook starting in September when snook sea-. son reopens. The FWC approved a rule Thursday to increase the snook. minimum size limit to 27 inches total length. Previously, the minimum size was 26 inches. The Commission did not change the 34-inch maximum size limit for snook. The FWC. passed the hew rule to complement another. new regulation which takes ef- fect July 1st. That regulation requires snook to be measured' by determining the straight-line distance from the most for iard point of the head %\ith the mouth closed. to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail compressed or squeezed together, while the fish is lying on its side. Increasing the snook mini- mum size limit by one inch will compensate for a slight increase in length some anglers may achieve when 'measuring snook this way, and likely will increase snook spawning stocks by decreasing snook harvest by 22 percent on Florida's gulf coast and by 12 percent on the Atlantic coast. The Commission decided not to raise the maximum size limit for snook because that could increase the harvest of large spawning snook which are im- portant to maintaining healthy stocks. A'recent FWC stock assess- ment for snook indicates snook harvest has been increasing in Florida because more anglers are fishing for snook, and con- sequently, the management goal is falling short for this popular sport fish. - To address this, the FWC is convening a stakeholder group to review snook management issues, and the Commission will consider further adjustments to snook regulations if management changes are recommended. The harvest of snook is pro- hibited from December 15th through January 31st statewide and from June through August on Florida's Atlantic coast. On the gulf coast and waters of Monroe County and Everglades National Park, snook harvest is not allowed from May through August. At all other times, a, recre- ational daily bag: limit of two snook per person applies on the Atlantic coast. The limit on the gulf coast and waters of Monroe County and Everglades National 'Park is one snook daily person. S,Licensed salt after anglers must purchase a $2 permit to harvest snook. Snatch-hooking and spearing snook are prohib- ited, and it is illegal to buy or sell snook: Snook regulations also apply in federal waters. FWC Requests Public Input On Proposed Osceola WMA Changes The Florida Fish and Wild- life Conservation Commission (FWCI is proposing changes to Sthe configuration of the still-hunt and deer-dog hunting areas on the Osceola Wildlife Manage- ment Area (WMA) and wants public input. - According to John Ault, regional public hunting areas biologist. ""This proposal was developed in response to two distinct issues: a deer-dog en- croachment problem and the FWC's endeavor to increase deer-dog hunting opportunities on public land.

Despite efforts by 'FWC law enforcement officers and local and state dog hunting associations, the trespass contin- ued. After much scrutiny, FWC staff concluded that in order to eliminate this problem, the dog hunting area should be moved away from the eastern boundary of the WMA," Ault said. "The second issue is to increase deer-dog hunting op- portunities on public lands. For a variety of reasons, public acre- age available for deer-dog hunt- ing has substantially decreased, in the past 13 years. During that same time, acreage for still-hunt- ing has increased. Because' areas suitable for deer-dog hunting on wildlife management areas must meet certain parameters, includ- ing size and shape, road system and traditional use, -replacement of lost acreage is difficult." In response to these two is- sues, FWC staff developed a proposal that addresses the tres- pass and substantially increases the amount of land open for deer-dog hunting on the Osceola WMA. : 1 . "We believe the proposed re- configuration meets the .param- eters for deer-dog hunting and is northh \ of consideration. In '01 Ford F-250 Supercab #968B $15,995* early May, a working group of diverse stakeholders met. They discussed the issues, examined the proposal and developed the current proposed configuration for the Osceola WMA. The. working, group, was composed of one person from each of the following organizations: Baker ,County Commission, Florida Dog Hunters and Sportsmen's Association, FWC, Florida State Still Hunter's.Association, Four Rivers Audubon Society, Si- erra Club, Suwannee River Dog. Hunters Association, United Hunters of Florida, Unified Sportsmen of Florida and Wild- Law," Ault said. . At the end of the meeting there was consensus that the plan, as modified bN the group,. addressed both issues and was ready for public input. "We are now asking the public to look over the proposal and respond to the changes.. The public's position and comments on this proposal are ver\ Impor- tant to us. We'd like the public to write us and let us know if. they support or oppose this pro- posal and the reasons, for their position." Ault said. In order for the FWC to sum- marize public comments in a timely manner, responses. are due by June 16th. Comments can be e-mailed to John Auhl@'M)FWC corn or sent to10: John Ault, Regional '04 Chevy Avalanche #1087A p24,995* Public Hunting Areas Biologist, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 3377 E.

FWC officials will then pres- ent the issues, the proposal and a synopsis of replies at an "open house" to be. held Friday, June 23rd from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Columbia County School Board Auditorium, 372 West Duval St., in Lake City.

Cab 4WD #1048A $19,1995* FWC Has New Management Plans In The Works For' Four Species The Florida Fish and Wild- life Conservation Commission (FWC) directed its scientists Wednesday to proceed with the final phase .of reclassifying four imperiled species manatees, bald eagles, gopher tortoises and, Panama City crayfish . The final phase is to draw up new management plans for each species, based on the spe- cies'. needs. Management plans typically take a year to draft, and the process includes public participation. For two species, the FWC's action reflects good news;. Bald eagles no longer are in danger of extinction in the foreseeable' future. -Once Commissioners approve a new management plan to protect them into the future, the FWC no longer will include them on the imperiled species list. "What we're doing for eagles is working," FWC Executive Di- rector Ken Haddad said. "That's good news. Our goal is for all imperiled species to recover to the point where we can remove them from the list." Bald eagles have established 1.133 known nesting territories in Florida. and each territory has '06 Chevy Suburban 2K Miles #1160P $39,g995* one or two adult eagles. Forty years ago, the whole country had about 400 nesting pairs. Manatees, currently listed as an endangered species, have recovered to the point they are no longer in imminent danger of extinction, although they still require careful management. Once their new management plan is complete, the FWC will, reclassify them as threatened. Haddad said the new classifi- cation will not result in less pro- tection for the species. He said protection measures are specific for. each species' needs, regard- less of its classification. Two other species that haven't fared as welfare gopher tortoises and Pariama City crayfish.

United States Senate Prepares To Vote On Flag Protection Amendnient Will They Still Sing "God Bless America"? , By Daniel S. Wheeler Often I am asked b,, reporters. "'\\ hat harm does it do to burn a flag?''. This question usu- ally comes'from young men and. women, most. of whom aren't veterans, and I frequently sense that the\ really don't understand why this issue is important. Recently,: I was asked this question:' "Tommy Lasorda told the story of a .flag burning during a Dodger game in 1976 , where Rick Monday ran out on the field and tore the flag away from a protestor .When ihe\ became a'.,are of what had hap-" pened, the crowd stood and sang "God Bless America." Doesn't that prove that we don't need the flag-protection amendment?" I was reminded of what Gen Patrick H. Brady, Medal of Hon- or recipient, said. He pointed out that nobody can change your mind or my mind about protect- ing our flag. It's.the children of American that we have to think, dbout i What happens: when they lose, or are no longer taught, respect for our flag.? What will happen when an enemy threatens our na- tion, or even attacks our country,. and our moral fiber has become so desensitized--our patriotism has been so eroded- that ordi- nary citizens .aren't willing to stand and fight for the United States? Brady reflects on, those who have died in battle, and those. who risked their lives for this .great country. He says that 'the' men who wear the Medal of Honor risked their loves for their country-many of them died-but he wonders if they would be willing to risk their lives for the "country we are becoming." Then I think about those thousands of men and women singing "God Bless America" in Dodger Stadium. Why were they doing it? Well, obviously they did it because they loved their flag. Throughout the lives of those who rose to their feet, we had laws protecting Old Glory. Many probably risked their lives in her defense, They understood that "the tree of Liberty is wa- tered with the blood of patriots." That's why they stood and sang. But what of this generation, and of the next? What are they being taught about love of coun- try? How many of them will start each school day pledging their allegiance to our flag, as most of us did? How many of them will learn the proper way to respect her, and what she means and why patriotism is important? Twenty years from now, when another Rick Monday snatches a flag from someone who is trying to burn it, will the crbwd still sing "God Bless America," or will it rise in anger because the game has been delayed? It's certainly true--as we've heard people say--one person burning a flag, or urinating on it, VISA Open Mon. Fri. 710 East Highway 26 or defecating on it, or trampling "it under his feet, \xill not harm Old"Glor). But:it's not true that no harm is done. The harm is done if the American people fail to respond to such vile and hurtful conduct. The harm is done onl if. by our apath\, \\e condone the defiling of the banner that has draped the caskets of our American heroes. Edmund Burke once said: "The only thing neces.iar for the tri- umph of evil is for.good men to do nothing " Failure to protect our flag by law is not a celebration of liberty; it is the celebration of evil. A great nationcannot pre- serve its greatness by turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to that which is wrong, to that which is destructi e, to that which is im- moral and evil. ': \hat harmndoes it do to ohurn a flag? . Over time it destroys the very fabric of our nation. It undermines the goodness that makes us great; and it ensures that future generations will not stand and spontaneously sing "God Bless America" because they will not know that -once- God did.

FWC Offers Unique Hunting Opportunities The Florida Fish and Wild-, life Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering sportsmen some unique hunting opportuni- ties for the coming season. The FWC is providing sports- men mobility-impaired hunts, supervised youth hunts, fam- ily hunts, quail hunts and track vehicle and airboat hunts, on selected wildlife management areas (WMAs). Worksheets are available at FWC regional offices and on- line at MyFWC.com/hunting under "Limited Entry Hunts." The period for submitting ap- plications to be included in the random drawings begins 10:00 a.m. (EDT) June 20 until July 7. Applications may be submitted through the Internet, at tax col- lectors' offices or at any license agent. Applications are no lon- ger accepted by mail. Mobility-impaired hunts are for persons who require special equipment.

Another unique hunt is for hunters .8-15 years old. Two WMAs in the North Central Region (Camp Blahding and Andrews) offer opportunities for non-hunting adults to supervise young hunters on public hunting areas where the number of hunt- ers and the hunting areas are rig- idly controlled to provide an op- timum learning experience and maximum safety. These hunts are popular, and the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available each year. The new Lafayette Creek WMA as well as Matanzas, Andrews, Devil's Hammock and Dinner Island WMAs will offer family .hunts this year. Appli-' cants age 18 or older may apply for a permit. The permit holder is required to bring one to two children ages 8-15. Unlike the youth hunt, the family hunt al-, lows the adult supervisor to hunt with the children. . A quota hunt permit %ill be required to hunt quail on the Blackwater WMA Hutton Unit and Black%\ after Field Trial Area in the Northwest Region. There are seven two-day hunts avail- able on the Hutton Unit and two four-day hunts'on the Field Trial Area. The quota is twogroups per hunt on the Hutton Unit and three groups per hunt on the Field Trial Area. A group may consist of up to three hunters. CTTLCHRIST COUNTY JOURNAL THURSDAY, JUNE 22,2006,- Pa e Ten i Shooting hours end at 3:00 p.m., and the bag limit is 12 quail per group per day. SWildlife management areas in the southern part of the state of-, fer hunters an unusual challenge, because of their open-marsh landscape. Hunting these areas requires special vehicles, and the FWC has established quotas on the number of vehicles allowed. Permits to operate track vehicles on Rotenberger, Everglades and Francis S. Taylor and Holey Land WMAs, and permits to operate airboats on Everglades and Francis S. Taylor WMA are- issued in two random drawings.

Main 352-463-7135 Trenton's I'init business!: NOW OPEN AT THE JOURNAL Hunters Generate Record Issuance of Gator Permits In less than four hours, all 4,406 of the state's alligator harvest permits were issued to 2,155 hunters wanting to ex- perience the thrill of alligator hunting. Despite a computer glitch that blocked permit sales for about an hour, permits sold out between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. June 15. This marks one of the few times hunters have gobbled up all available permits since the Florida Fish and Wildlife Con- servation Commission (FWC) began offering statewide 'alliga- tor hunts in 1988. The FWC. issues permits on a first-come, first-served basis. Last year, the FWC issued only about 2,800 of the- 4,300 available permits because of a shortage of appli- cants. At its February meeting, the FWC decided to give hunters more flexibility in scheduling their hunts, and it voted to ex- tend the length of the. alligator hunting season.. Also, unlike alligator hunts in previous years when hunters' could purchase only one .permit, the FWC of- fered 2006.hunters the option of buying multiple permits. These strategies worked. This year's season will include 41 additional hunt days and will, run Aug.. 15 through Nov. 1. / For' more information on alligator hunting, visit' MyFWC.com/gators and click on :"Statew ide Hunts." forever Flowers & Gifts 352-463-9176 or Toll Free 1-866-261-7986 ,' www.foreverflowerstrention.Com S"bYour Full Service Florist" "?/ Easti fHiie Sufie lD-ention.

Suwannee Valley Leagues Held Its Baseball Tournaments (Continued from Page One) Ozzie hitting an inside-the-park home run. The final score was SVL 5, Fort White 3. Sunday at 2:00 p.m. SVL took the field against Hamilton County. From the beginning of the game it looked as if SVL was still asleep, as error after error was committed. Kyle Wiggins did a great job on the mound, howe er, our defense just didn't show up. The final score was Hamilton 19-S\VL8. This meant there would be a rubber match show down as both teams now had one loss apiece. SVL sent their ace Justin Brown out to the mound to go up against Hamilton's star pitcher, "Poppa Smith." Both kids performed brilliantly dual- ing to a 2-2 tie at the end of six. Brown had 12 strike outs while R OWTION- S '07s Are on the Way! cgis All In Stock Units Must Go!

Gilchrist Emergency Management Tells Rotarians To Prepare For Storm (Continued on Page Three) ing on the severity of the storm aid % ill take typical) three da) s to arrive and may take longer if the storm is .very. devastating. This is what the kit is for and the time to make it up is now. Get a big plastic bin and start by buy - ing a little at a time, stock up on water (at least three gallons of water per person), non-perish- able foods, a manual can opener, first aid kit and medications, bat- tery powered radio, flashlights and extra batteries, clothing for three days and bedding (make believe your packing for a camping trip). Also, write down any special information such as how to turn off the gas or water or any information which only one member of the household would be familiar with. Again, you need to make sure your fam- ily can take care of themselves in your absence. Become familiar with some of the "'lingo" used in weather situations, a hurricane watch means conditions are possible in the specified area within 36 hours. Hurricane warning means conditions are expected in. the specified area within 24 hours. A category one hurricane has wind speeds of 74-95 mph and is expected to cause damage to un- anchored mobile homes, shrub- bery and trees, and can cause coastal flooding. A category two hurricane has wind speeds of 96- 110 mph and is expected to cause. some roof, door and window damage. It can cause consider- able damage to %egetation, mo- bile homes and piers, and coastal flooding is expected. A category three hurricane has wind speeds of 111-130 mph and is expected to damage small buildings and residences. Mobile homes can be destroyed, terrain lower than fi\e feet above sea level may be flooded inland eight miles or more. A category four hurricane has wind speeds of 131-155 mph and is expected to have more extensive curtain wall failures with some complete roof struc- ture failure on small residences, major beach erosion, and flood- ing especially terrain lower than ten feet above sea level as far inland as six miles. And finally a category, five hurricane has wind speeds of 155 mph or .greater. and is expected to completely damage roof structures of both residential! and industrial build- ings. Small buildings will be blown away and major damage to structures less than, 15 feet above sea lelel and within 500 yards of the shoreline is ex- pected. Evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5 to 10 miles of the shoreline may be required. Mr. Mill's information was very informative and some of the material he made available gave some great information for various situations and types of emergencies. I hope you will take time out today and make a "To Do List" for this hurricane season. The best idea is to be prepared and not scared when storms approach us this season. 7239 S.W. 80th Avenue Trenton, Florida 32693 tisapp@acceleration.net CR-C058431 AM CONTINl IRON-FREE WELL WATER COMPANY, INC.
