Gilchrist County 911 Service Upgrades To

New Electronic Computer Mapping And

Dispatch Equipment


City of Trenton Proposes 8.34

Mills Property Tax In

Municipality


By Anna Wild
The Gilchrist County
Emergency Management Center
and Sheriff's Office have been
working to get the 911 service
upgraded to the newest Phase 2
equipment. Molly Brafining,
Supervisor of the 911
Communications Dispatch'
Center, was happy to report that
the equipment is now installed
and dispatchers are very pleased
with the new equipment. All of
the equipment was purchased
with funding from. grants
received through the 911
Communications Center. What.
.this upgrade means to the
taxpa) ers of Gilchrist County is,
-that when we call 911,
dispatchers % ill see immediately
where the call is originating
from, on one of fi' e
computerized screens on their,
%ork station. The, new,
telecommunications and,
mapping system is tied through
a computer that also records the,
call. Even if .you live in a new
development, the map will sho\\
a call coming from \our
property. et en if the roads are
not on the map. This means
faster service which could- save
lives. ,
Before this upgrade, the
dispatchers used several t pes
of equipment Ihich "ere not
electronically compatible.
Cellular telephone users who
have a phone with a GPS chip
will now be able to call in and
their location will show on the
mapping system screen.
Unfortunately, the GPS
upgrades rely on the cellular
telephone companies to upgrade

their cellular towers in the
county. As for now, %hen a call
is made on a cellular phone, the
call is identified and % ill sho%
up on the 911 emergency
dispatch screen. Once the cell
towers are upgraded,
information received through
the system will be- accurate
with) 10 feet.
This system upgrade has


been needed in Gilchrist Count.
for man\ \ears The 911
indi iduals \\ho ans" er all the
911 calls also receive calls for
the sheriff's office and
dispatched calls from sheriff's
office employees over the radio.
Eleven years ago they received
an estimated 6000 dispatched
calls for the entire year..
According to Molly Branning,
in 2005, Gilchrist County
Emergency 911 received an
estimated 6000 911 calls, over
23,000 dispatched calls, and
115,000 phone calls that came
into the sheriff's office. That is
144,000 times a year these ten
individuals are asked to help in
some way or 394.5 calls on an
average per day or 16.5 average
calls per hour. Right now we
have two people working
together 24 hours everyday.
Considering the growth we
know our county 'will be
experiencing in the very near


future. %e maN need to add een
more indi' iduals to the dispatch
center soon.
The ne" equipment Gilchrist
Counts received allows for
three work stations to. receive
and manage information. Each
station has five computer
screens and two keyboards
(which will soon be one
keyboard). Training for this new
system only took about 30
minutes. Dispatchers and
management found' the
equipment very user friendly)
and since most screens showed
the information in the same
format they were already
accustomed to, training was
very easy.

Gilchrist County should be
very proud to 'be 911, Phase 2
capable. We are one of only a
couple counties in Florida with
the newest equipment available.


My name is Mitchell Gentry; I
grew up in Gilchrist County, and
am married to Theresa Gentry.
We have two children, Steven
and Leah, and two grandchildren
Colby and Emma. I thank God
for my family and being able to
raise them in this area As your
county commissioner for district
2, serving you for the past four
years has been. an honor, and
your support has. made it a re-
warding and wonderful experi-
ence.
I promised you to work hard
to become a well informed
county commissioner. I became
the first county commissioner
certified through the Florida
Association of Counties, and I
have earned a degree in Business
Administration. I consider my-
self a life long learner, and will
continue to gain knowledge and
do my job better.
My strengths are: Compas-
sionate understanding of issues
and problems you have involv-
ing our county, a willingness to


lead when I believe it is for the
benefit of Gilchrist County, and
the ability to balance and main-
tain a budget within our means.
These strengths, coupled with
the knowledge I have gained,
and my experience as your
county commissioner, qualifies
me to serve you best.
You chose me to be your
county commissioner four years
ago, and with your help I would
like to continue to represent you.
Now is the time for me to work
for you to meet the challenges
involving growth, providing
services, and preserving the
heritage and beauty of Gilchrist
County. I ask for your support
in the upcoming election to con-
tinue with strong leadership for
Gilchrist County in the future.

Thank You,
Mitchell Gentry

The Trenton City Commis-
sion took action Monday night
to propose an 8.34 millage tax,
increase that "as identified b\
the City Manager Jered Otten-
uess as required to balance the
General Fund budget.
The five member Commis-
sion discussed the deficit condi-
tion Of the City's General Fund
and some -of. the things the
board could do to reduce the
budget.
"Are there any areas in the
proposed budget that we can
make additional cuts," Coinmis-
sioner Tim Kinsey asked the
City Manager? ..
City" Manager Jered Otten-
wess explained that the Trenton
Police Chief has proposed the
addition .of one full time po-
liceman in the 2006-07 'pro-
posed, budget. -If the board
strikes this.from the budget, this
would be an identified savings
of $20,000.
The board discussed the cost


of health insurance for the
commissioners. .The proposed
budget identifies the estimated
.cost to be $15,000 per board
member. Commissioners Tim
Kinsey and Bill Clifton ex-
plained that they don't use the
City of Trenton insurance.'
"Last year when we passed
the proposed budget, we knew
we were going to be in a tight
financial pinch going into the
.2005-2006 fiscal year," Com-
missioner Glen Thigpen ex-
plained. "We need to adopt a
realistic budget that we can live
with," Commissioner Thigpen
added.
Commissioner Tim Kinsey
:asked the City Manager if he
had checked on, the amount of
.gasoline that the City uses and
if there was any way to reduce
this use? The City Manager
explained that there are tuo
vehicles that are driven home b)
employees that are in olhed in
responding to emergency calls.
The Cit', Manager \\as asked


what percentage of the General
,Fund revenues is actually used
to /pay salaries? "I would esti-
mate around 50%," Jered Ot-
tenwess explained.
"It appear -that the bottom
line is, we are going to.have to
approve an ad alorem tax,"
.Mayor Peter Randolph ex-
plained.
Trenton resident Rand) Rut-
ter explained to the board that
the ad valorem property tax is
the most unfair tax that can be
passed onto the residents, prop-
ert3 o% ners and businesses. An

Gilchrist County Accepts

Resignation Of Building

Inspector Randy Wiggins


By John M. Ayers ..
The Gilchrist County Build-
ing Inspector Randy Wiggins
had his attorney Ray E. Tho-
mas, Jr submit a letter of resig-.
nation which explained this was
his two-week notice as the,
building official and municipal
fire inspector in Gilchrist
County. The resignation was
received July 25, 2006.
The attorney explained in the
letter that Mr. Wiggins' em-
ployment has become such that
he finds himself in. a position
that he cannot continue em-
ployment with Gilchrist County
under the 'current arrangement.
Mr. Wiggins is a professional
engineer. Therefore, his license
is not only at risk for his actions
and decisions, but also for those
of the staff that perform their
work under the umbrella of his


license. The attorney explained
in. the letter that Mr. Wiggins
has been informed that staff
assigned to building permitting
and inspecting and fire inspec-
tions do not have to take direc-
tion and supervision from him.
It is difficult to imagine a situa-
tion in which a professional,
whose license is at risk, would
not have the authority to direct
the staff that assists him, the
attorney explained.
"It is my understanding that
Mr. Wiggins has previously
been advised that he answered
directly to the board which re-
tained his professional services.
If the board so wishes, I am
authorized 'to initiate negotia-
tions for Mr, Wiggins 'services
under new terms and conditions,
to be set out in a professional
services contract," the attorney


wrote. The board should be fur-
ther advised that Mr. Wiggins
,will not engage in such negotia-
tions beyond August 15, 2006,
the 'attorney explained in the
letter.
County Administrator Ron
McQueen advised the, board in
the Monday evening meeting
that he had received the letter
from the attorney.
The board discussed the. is-
sue before Commissioner
Mitchell Gentry made a motion
to accept the letter of resigna-
tion. Gilchrist County Attorney.
John McPherson advised the
board that they do not need to
take any action involving this
issue. He explained that the
County Administrator received
the letter and advised the board

terrific job with the steak dinner.
After dinner and a brief time in
the dark, thanks to a thunder-
storm, the real fun began.
Auctioneer, Bill Elrod, was on
hand again this year to auction
off items from NRA blankets to

The Trenton City Commis-
sion took action in their July 31,
2006 meeting to propose an
8.34 millage rate for the busi-
nesses and the property owners
in Trenton to bring the City out
of debt in one year.
City Commission W.O. Bill
Clifton got the board's attention
when he spoke up to go with the
City Manager's recommenda-
tion to approve an 8.34 mill
levy and get the City out of debt
in a single year. "I want a bal-
anced budget for the City of
Trenton," Clifton told his fellow
board members.
The City of Trenton Budget
Workshop continued Mondaiy
evening as the board members
proposed that they could take a
closer look at the salary sched-
ule and the proposed increases
for the 2006-2007 budgets.
Commissioner Glen Thigpen
told the board that he did not
see anything in the proposed
budget that really needed to be
trimmed. He explained thatche-
thought that it was more impor-
4 tant for the City of Trenton to
adopt a realistic budget and be
able to stick to it.
The City Commission dis-
cussed the General Fund and the
deficit shape that it is in.
The City Manager was asked
approximately how much of the
General Revenue fund is pro-
posed for salaries. He explained,
approximately 50% of the pro-
posed $811,035.00 ,General
Fund. The City Manager also
told the board. that he had fig-
ured from 4-6% salary increases
for City, employees, which
could include some overtime for
the departments that had a lot of
overtime in the 2005-06 fiscal
year.
The board also looked at the
insurance that had. been budg-
eted for the employees as well
as the Commissioners.
Commissioner Thigpen pro-
posed to the board a 6-mill tax


for


levy and for the board to stay
within the budget in the 2006-
07 year. The Commissioners
discussed that they could not
pass a higher village rate than
what they had proposed.
The board did not have to
make a motion and receive a
second and vote on the pro-
posed ad valorem village rate
tax. The City of Trenton will
now ad% ise the Gilchrist County
Property Appraiser's Office that
they propose an 8.34 millage tax
levy for the City of Trenton.
The City Manager told. the
commission that he could pre-
pare more information for the
board. to consider in the next,
workshop meeting. The board
did not ad% ise the City Manager,
to cut any line. items from the
proposed budget.,
It seems that the Cirt Com-
mission just can't come to grips
that they can't afford what they
think they need.' .
The Police Department pro-,
posed another fulltime police-
man. Commissioner Clifton told
the board that he would not be
in favor of cutting anything
from the Police Department or
the Fire Department proposed
budget.
I can understand that the
majority of the board has been
in their commission seats for
over five years, but they still
continue to approve budgets that
continue to get them further and
further into, debt. Some of the
board' members point out that'
the commission should have
passed an ad valorem millage
rate several years ago. They
explained that they would not.
be in the financial shape they
are in today if they have taken
that.actioin then.
The fact that you continue to
spend more money than you
take in is a real time case of
poor financial management. If
the City can't afford some of the
things that have been budgeted,
then it is the Commissioner's
job to question the need and
determine if the need is suffi-
cient enough to fund.
The City. Manager showed


Streetwise
By Lauren: Rudd
Regardless of market condi-
tions, there always seems to be
a company whose shares defy
traditional analysis and market
trends. I am not talking about
some story stock whose overly
hyped future is nothing but a
pipe dream.
No, this is. a solid blue chip
company I wrote about last year
at this time and whose 2005r
earnings came in well below my,
forecast, despite being the leader
in its industry. At the time. the
stock was trading at $44. My
2005 earnings estimate w as for
$2.80 per share and the company
earned $2.43. ,
Nonetheless, .its shares are
up 9.1 percent over the past
12 months, in addition to a 2.2
percent dividend yield. Further-
more, the company's outlook
appears to be improving %with the
announcement last week of bet-
ter-than-expected second quarter,
earnings.
Anheuser-Busch reported that
it earned 82 cents per share for
the second quarter., as compared
to 76 cents a year ago. If you
exclude a tax gain, the company
posted earnings of 81 cents per
share.i Meanwhile, the shares
recently hit a 14-month high of
$48.70.
With about a 50 percent share
of the domestic beer market, the
company said net sales for the
quarter came in at $4.25 billion,
as compared to $4 billion a year
ago..
In an effort to expand its stable

the Commission what the per-
centage break down would be
involving wh .would actually
,be paying the, ad valorem tax.
This information showed that
25% of the homeowners would
be paying the tax. An estimated,
15% of the residents that own
mobile homes would be paying
the tax. Last but not least, 100%.
of the people that own commer-
. cial businesses would pay the
tax.
The real loser in all of this
proposed tax levy discussion is
the few people that own busi-
nesses in Trenton. They will
have to provide the City of
Trenton with the greatest per-
centage of the money to come
clean from their debt. The ques-
tion remains, if the over spend-
ing of the General Fund is not
curbed during the upcoming
year, the Commission could
come back and propose a 10
mill tax levy to get them out of
further debt for the 2007,2008
budget year.

The long hot days of summer
have arrived. This time of year
I've backed off the yard work.
Frankly, my flowerbeds show
the lack of care. But, it's too hot
to get out there and dig those
weeds out. Recently I've been
spending the late afternoons on
our shady back porch sipping on
a tall glass of sweet ice tea.

to attack those ol' weeds with a.

This past weekend John

of brands, Anheuser-Busch re-
cently acquired the Rolling Rock
brand, while at the same time an-
nouncing that it had an exclusive.
arrangement to import and dis-.
tribute Dutch brewer .Grolsch's
beers in the United States and to
become the exclusive. importer
of Asia Pacific's Tiger beer:
To its credit, Anheuser-Busch
has, accelerated efforts to broad-
en its. portfolio of:imported and
,craft. beers. While sales of do-
mestic beer in the United States
have been sluggish as consumer
tastes hale shifted toward cock-
tails and mine. imports and craft
brews hate seen strong growth.
Anheuser-Busch also said
in its earnings statement that
productivity improvement ini-
tiatives are helping to mitigate
continuing cost pressures. Al-
though earnings and domestic,
shipment volume are expected to
be higher in 2006 than in 2005,
the company did not provide a
specific forecast.
If you look *at the intrinsic
value of Anheuser-Busch, it is
a mixed story at best. Using a
discounted earnings approach.
with an 8.3 percent earnings
grow th rate and an 11 percent
discount rate, the intrinsic value
is $42.51 .' : .'" .
-However, if: you calculate
the intrinsic value using a dis-
counted free cash flow to the
Firm approach, the intrinsic
value is $52.86 with a 4.5'per-
cent earnings growth rate. Raise
the growth rate to 8.3 percent
and the intrinsic value increases
to $75.
Even with the $52.86 figure,
there is a .9.3 percent inherent
value over the recent $48.35
share price, plus the 2.2 percent
dividend yield .
My earnings projection is for
Anheuser-Busch to earn $2.48
in 2006 and $2.67 in 2007. The
company currently trades at a
multiple or price-to-earnings ra-
tio (P/E) of 20.6. If that multiple
continues, and there is no reason
why it should not, you have the
potential of a $51 stock in six to
eight months.

potato salad just can't be beat

This week I've .,searched
through a lot of potato salad
recipes just to see what I could

questioned if I was planning on
changing the potato, salad recipe
we use. He was somewhat
relieved when.1 assured him I
had no plans to change, it.

Some years after closing her.

The Voice Of The Seven Thunders
(Kent Heaton)


The book of The' Revelation is filled with many
wonderful visions and images thrilling the mind with
the array of splendor, power and majesty at the grace
of God upon His redeemed; justice and vengeance on
those who reject Him. John affirms the message of
the book can be read and understood: "Blessed is he
that readeth, and they that hear the words of the
prophecy, and keep the things that are written
therein: for the time is at hand" (Revelation 1:3).
The student is admonished to read the book, hear
what the book is saying and to obey its divine will.
John tells his own people the events of The
Revelation are "at hand."
Before the great battle unfolds in chapter 12, a
series of visions take John to images of seals,
trumpets and woes declaring the wrath of God upon
the unbelievers and the salvation of the righteous. A
strong angel appears in Revelation 10:1 in wondrous
splendor and power. As he cries forth, "the seven
thunders uttered their voices" (v3). The apostle is
about to write what the seven thunders uttered when a
voice from heaven says, "Seal up the things which
the seven' thunders uttered, and write them not"
(v4).
The voice from heaven presents a valuable lesson
for the student of Holy Writ. There are many things
that are revealed by God to man for his instruction;
there are some things that are never revealed. Johrl
heard what the seven thunders uttered. He was about
to write those words down. The voice from heaven
forbids the writing of what he heard. When the great
apostle died, the words he heard died with him. The
temptation is to try to determine what the seven
thunders said and many have undertaken this task in
commentaries filling pages with postulations of


man's Wisdom. When it is all said and done no one
knows save God.
Jehovah does not reveal everything to man. This
insults the wisdom of man who expects to know all
things as much as Jehovah God. The student of the
Bible must realize the purpose of its message is to
save him from condemnation. It is not in the divine
will of God to give man an answer to every question
he may ask. Peter said, "His divine power hath
granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that called
us by his own glory and virtue" (2 Peter 1:3).
Everything we need to know is in the Bible.
The task of man is to understand all that God has
given unto man to obey and to find salvation in those
words. Noah was told to build an ark for the saving of
his household without a great deal of explanation of
the deeper theological analysis. of why God will
destroy man (Genesis 6-9). Abraham is commanded
to offer his only son as a burnt offering without the
volumes of questions modem man would present at
such a challenge (Genesis 22). These men did not
question the absence of information but simply
obeyed their Lord and God.
The children of Israel are reminded in the Law:
"The secret things belong unto Jehovah our God;
but the things that are revealed belong unto us and
to our children for ever, that we may do all the
words of this law" (Deuteronomy 29:29). There will
be many questions that are never answered but one.
question is answered with the blood of Jesus Christ -
"What must I do to be saved." The answer is God's
word. We can find salvation in obeying what we
know as revealed by God. Let the secret things
belong to God.

'Dobey' The Family Dog

Of Parker And Levi
Ferguson Is Lost


W. v


Shownfrom left are taIvnda
and Dobey Ferguson.


'Dobey' The Dog

Please help us look for our
newest member of the family.
He is lost and out somewhere
all alone. "Dobey" is a black and
brown, two-year-old dachshund.
Dobey wears a blue collar with
a 'gator' identification tag. Do-
bey was previously a member
'of Bob and Wanda Clemons
family. Shortly after our whole
life changed in April when
my husband Sam passed away
Wanda approached me with the.


Clemons, Parker and Levi Ferguson


possibility of the boys taking
on the responsibility of having
a cute little dog in our home.
They knew the boys would love
Dobey and they were so right. It
was love at first sight. Parker
and Levi do nothing without
having Dobey tag along.
Dobey simply crossed over
our rock road into the neighbor's
field of pines on Friday (Parker
and Levi's 5th birthday) to take
care of a little business. Just as.
i he does every time he gets that
urge, except this.time he did not
return. What a terrible birthday


present.
We have searched the pines
fearing a possible snake bite.
We have searched the roads
just in case he had been hit. We
have visited with our neighbors
checking to see if Dobey had
found a buddy or maybe even a
girlfriend. Now, we are ventur-
ing out to you.
Dobey is a very loveable dog,
loves attention, loves to play and
loves to cuddle. Dobey is on a
special diet to keep him fit and
beautiful. If you have seen Do-
bey my phone number is (352)
463-1409 or if you found Dobey
hurt, he is a customer/patient of
the Trenton Animal Hospital;
please feel free to take him there
and I will cover any expense. If
you by chance saw him thinking
he had been dropped off (which
we know happens sometimes)
that wasn't the case. That would
never happen with him. He just
loves to be out and about, he's.
very adventurous.
Dobey .loves to. travel. He'
goes to the, babysitter everyday
with Parker and Levi. He's been
to Cedar Key fishing just recent-
ly when the boys each caught
their very first fish. He loves
running down the beach with the
boys. He's'even gone to Vaca-
tion Bible School with them. He
always visits our family 's homes
running and playing %%ith his
new friends Sport i Jack Russell.).
Tiny (Chocolate Lab puppy) and
Bags (German Shep.
Dobey was last seen the after-
noon of July 2A, 2006 in front
of our house at 3349 SW 20th
Street, just south of the school
bus garage off SR 129. Dobey
is very missed at home. We go
out several times a day search-
ing and calling with our fingers
crossed, hoping he'Jl just run up'
and jump at our knees or knock
the boys down with excitement.
For those who know Parker
and Levi Fergusori (my guys),
you know they are struggling


at times with different things
because of losing their Daddy.
We talk about Daddy being in
heaven and look for the brightest
star at night. They ask a lot of
questions about Daddy not being
around because they do not fully
understand death and how final
it is. They were certain Daddy
would be at Cedar Key the other
day to fish 6ause that's what
Daddy enjoyed.
I am keeping my fingers
crossed hoping Dobey returns,
hoping I don't have -to explain
to them this type of final. They
jump right up each day and call
for Dobey. I'm hoping at one of
those moments Dobey. will be
whimpering at the back door to
get in. If you've seen Dobey and
can help us in any way, please
call.
Thanks so much.'

On Tuesday, August 1, at 7:00 PM, The Post 149 Family will have an
Installation of Officers. The meeting will begin at 7:00 PM and after the
welcome and introductions are complete, the meeting will recess for the
dinner that is planned. The Post 149 Family Installations will begin right
after dinner. The District Staff will install the Post Officers, Auxiliary and
Sons of the American Legion, and the Fourth District Auxiliary, staff will
install the Auxiliary Unit 149. All Legionnaires and Legion Family are
invited to attend this meeting and show support for your new Officers for
this coming year. Come out and see where you want to get involved with
the Legion and Auxiliary Programs this year. There is room for everyone.
There are usually some "anniversaries" connected with almost every
day of the year and this week is not excluded. Air Force Day was August
1st, the U.S. Coast Guard was established on Friday, August 4, some 216
years ago inl790, and on Monday, August 7th, the Purple Heart Medal
was established 224 years ago in 1782. August 14th, in 1945, Japan
surrendered, ending WWII and is also the Navaho Code Talkers Day. For
those that parachute out of perfectly good, and flying, airplanes,
Wednesday, August 16th is National Airborne Day. So, there is a "Day"
out there for everyone to celebrate.
Remember to mark your calendars for the second Thursday of the
month (August 10) at 6:00 PM for the Executive Committee meetings for
the Post 91 Legion Family. The Auxiliary and Legion meet at the same
time and place at the Post Home on US-129 five miles north'of Trenton.
At the regular monthly meeting at Trenton's Post 91 on August 17th,,
the donation dinner will be chicken and dumplings, starting at 5:30 PM
and will be served until about 6:45 so the meeting can start on time. Plan
to get there early, get supper and visit with your fellow Legionnaire
veterans and Unit members and get ready for the meeting that follows.
The American Legion and the Department of Defense signed a
partnership, formalizing the "Heroes to Hometowns" program, a support
network and resource coordination effort for our severely injured service
members to .be able to return to their homes. The program will set
everything in motion before the injured service member returns home,
such as: child care, temporary housing, errand-running, adapting homes or
vehicles, spiritual support, government claims assistance and financial
aid. These are just some of what the over 15,000 American Legion Posts
all around the world will assist in providing.
National American Legion Commander, Tom Bock said "The American
Legion had its origin in 1919. At the end of W.W.1, a bunch of Doughboys
got together to make sure returning vets were taken care of. Our
involvement in this program is what The American Legion has always
been about -- Veterans helping veterans"
Remember our Armed Forces all over the world each day in your
thoughts and prayers, and here at home, keep watch over our
Legionnaires, veterans, widows and the families of those in service to
America, helping out however and whenever we can.
For God and Country,

Make sure you wear clothes
that can get both dirty and wet,
same with shoes. The sun has
been scorching lately, so sun-
screen and a hat are a good idea,
as is a water bottle. At least
you'll be on a river with swim-
mable water and can dunk your-
-self every so often if need be!
We hope to have a good group
for this cleanup. Maybe you will
be one that can help? Let me

Commissioner Buddy
Lamb Speaks To
Tri-County Gator
Club
County Commissioner, Buddy
Lamb, of Dixie County was re-
cently the guest speaker of the
Tri-County Gator Club. His,
topic was about the ,existing
need for a hospital in the tri-
county area, which he strongly
supports. Commissioner Lamb
stated that he understands the
infrastructure of Dixie County,
isn't in place to support such.
a venture at this time, but the
hospital is desperately needed in-
the area. Whether it is located in
Chiefland, Trenton or nearby,. it
didn't matter as long as we had
one.


FENCING


Commissioner Lamb said that
the wear and tear on the county
'ambulances and gas consump-
tion and time' in;voed in the
many roundtrips ,to and from
Gainesvil'e are very .costly.
Every time at ambulance leaves
the county to go to Gainesville is
.one less life-saving vehicle and
emergency personnel that is not *
available to our needs locally.
The State of Florida rejected
a Certificate of Need two years
ago over financial questions
involving Ameris Health Sys-
tems, the company attempting
to secure the CON and build a,
hospital in Chiefland. All indi-
cators are that the company is in
good financial shape at this time

Veteran Phone Scam
The Health Re'enue Center
has advised of the follow ing:
"We have received credible
information regarding a tele-
phone scam whereby veterans
.are contacted and urged to call
a 1-S00 number. The prete\t for
this action is regarding the recent
data loss by the VA and publicity
generated from that event. The
veteran: is compelled to believe
this is a resource to assist them.
Once the \teeran calls the 1-800,
number. the\ are directed to call
a 1-900 number where they in-


cur a $9.99 per minute charge.
So far, this scam has only been
identified in VISN 16."

would provide money for as-
bestos research and treatment
programs. Because veterans as a
population have borne a dispro-
portionate share of asbestos-re-
lated illnesses, the bill says that
these programs are to be located
near veterans' hospitals, so that
sick veterans can benefit from
medical advances in the treat-
ment of asbestos diseases.
Today's legal process for han-
dling asbestos claims is clearly
broken. For the rare claimants
who make it through the current
flawed system, it takes years to
see a dollar of relief. But sick
veterans do not have years to
wait.
As a Florida veteran, I thank
Senator Martinez for his sup-
port for an earlier version of
this bill that was debated in the
Senate earlier this year. I also
ask Senator Nelson, a longtime
Florida public servant and a for-
mer Army reservist, to support
this critical legislation for vet-
erans. By passing the FAIR Act,
the Senate can ensure that many
thousands of ailing veterans will
get the compensation and help
they deserve.

Seven People Injured

Senator Nelson
Urged To Support
Veterans Support,
Asbestos Reform Act
A.E. Hall, Past State Com-
mander Florida Department of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
With more than 1.8 million
currently residing full-time in
Florida, our state has the sec-
ond largest veterans' population
in the country after California.
And that number doesn't even
include the veterans from colder
states who spend the winter
months in the Sunshine :State.
Florida also has' the oldest vet-
eran population, rand many of the
veterans here in the, state have
critical health care needs.
Sadly, among those with criti-
cal health care needs, there are
thousands from the World War
II era, the Korean conflict period
and the Vietnam War who are
sick from exposure to hazardous
asbestos that occurred during
their military service. Before
the dangers of this substance
were understood, asbestos was
used in many aspects of military
construction, including Navy
shipbuilding.
Because of the long latency
periods of these debilitating and
deadly asbestos-related diseases,
some veterans who served as far
back as World War II are only
today learning that they are ill.
But today veterans don't have
the same legal rights to compen-
sation for their illnesses as. civil-
ian sufferers of asbestos-related
diseases.
Due to the principle of "sover-
eign immunity" veterans cannot
seek compensation from their
former employer, the federal
government, through the courts.
Often, the only option for veter-
ans is to try to track down and
sue the companies that once
supplied asbestos to the military.
And in most instances, these
companies no longer exist.
Even for the few veterans who
can find a responsible party and
gain access to the court system,
it is still a very difficult and
drawn-out process. There are
thousands of asbestos lawsuits
currently pending in the courts,
so claimants must wait years
before their, cases are heard.'
Also, many -of the companies
responsible for exposure are in
bankruptcy, making it a harder
and longer for victims to get the
compensation they need.
The Fairness in Asbestos
Injury Resolution (FAIR Act),
which is currently pending in the
U.S. Senate, would finally pro-
vide prompt and equitable com-
pensation to veterans and other
victims of asbestos exposure. If
enacted, this bill would provide
compensation to sick victims on
a no-fault basis victims would
no longer need to identify a party
responsible for their exposure.
What's more, the compensa-
tion fund would be financed by
defendant companies and their
insurance companies, so taxpay-
ers' dollars would be needed.
In addition to providing help
to those suffers of asbestos
related diseases, the FAIR Act

The Bell
Library
For the beginning readers, we
will suggest you read Corduroy,
a delightful little book written
and illustrated by Don Freeman.
Corduroy lived on a shelf in a
department store. One day a
little girl saw him and begged
her mother to purchase him but
they had spent all their money.
Read the story to learn if the
mother and little girl came back
and took Corduroy home with
them and if he was happy..
I found a fascinating junior
book, Bigfoot ( man, monster or
myth?). In the early years when
the lands in the wild northwest
were being settled, the trappers,
prospectors, and ranchers saw
footprints of a man or animal
which were much larger than a
normal man's footprint. There
were stories of numerous en-
counters with this creature,
kidnapping of people, and that
men had captured him. Carrie
Carmichael recorded many of
the accounts of these occasions
in this book.
Last week I told you about
the new large print books Mrs.
Jordan donated to Bell Library.
Among these were another set,
The Heirs of Montana, three
novels written by Tracie Peter-
son tracing the lives of families
as the traveled west in a wagon
train and then settled on land in
the beautiful state of Montana.
Come in and check these o'er
and we hope you like %\hat Nou
Ssee. ..

allowed teachers to acquire the
strengths and weaknesses of
their students and target areas

which they will use when writing
lesson plans. This framework
requires teachers to prepare les-
sons that are rigorous, requires
students to think differently, and
requires more complex thinking.
The framework also requires les-
sons to be relevant to the student
and is taught through application
of skills to real-world situations.
The last two days involved in-
formation about learning styles
of students and how to teach to
those styles, building ,relation-
ships among students, teachers,
and administrators, and how'
to work as teams 'for student
achievement and success.
Gilchrist County High School
teachers are looking forward to'
a great year incorporating all
the strategies learned during this
training. ; .

NAM Lauds Florida
Senators For
"Critical Step
Forward" To Address
America's Economic
And Energy Security
Further Senate Action Needed
to Pass Act and Lower Energy
Costs
The National Association of'
Manufacturers, (NAM) today
commended Senators Bill Nel-
son and Mel Martinez for voting
to proceed with debate on safely
unlocking America's energy sup-
ply in the GulfofMNlexico. NAM
President John Engler hailed the
Vote as a "critical step toward
addressing America's growing
.energy crisis, and lower energy
costs for all consumers."
By- a 86-12 bipartisan vote,
the Senate agreed to begin
debate on S. 3711, the Gulf of
Mexico Energy Security Act,
which opens leasing in 8.3 mil-
lion acres of the Gulf of Mexico
Sto safe energy exploration and
development.
"Clear1\ Florida's Senators
recognize that, at a time when


prices are at all-time highs and
energy development is easier
and safe, there is no reason the
U.S. should, continue shooting
itself in the foot," Engler said.
"Over the past six years, Amer-
ica's annual natural gas bill rose
from $50 billion to $200 billion,
slowing our economy, damaging
our competitiveness, and hurting
consumers and workers alike.
"As S. 3711 moves to a final
vote, we encourage all Senators
to show their continued com-
mitment to addressing the se-
vere energy crisis by unlocking
the abundant energy supply in
the Gulf," Engler continued.
"Passage of this act will help
alleviate the negative impacts
high energy prices are having
on all Americans, so jobs.stay in
America and consumers pay less
to heat and cool their homes."
NAM- The National As-
sociation of Manufacturers is
the nation's largest industrial
trade association, representing
small and large manufacturers
in every industrial, sector and
in all 50 states. Headquartered
in Washington, D.C., the NAM
has 10 additional offices across
the country. Visit the NAM's
award-winning web site at

The FWC Report For
July 21st-27th
This report represents some
significant events the ,FWC
handled over the past. week;
however, it does not include all


actions taken by the Division of
Law Enforcement.
NORTH CENTRAL
.REGION
CLAY COUNTY..
July 22nd Officer Michael


Heath responded to a boating
accident on Lily Lake. Accord-
ing to Heath's investigation, two
PWCs were traveling on a paral-
lel course to each other with one
slightly ahead of the other. One
of the PWCs turned, to spray the
other, resulting in a. collision.
One of the operators sustained
a compound fracture to his right
leg and minor contusions. The
other operator was not injured.
Charges have been filed with the
Clay County States Attorney Of-
fice against both operators.
July 24th, Officer Harold Bar-
ry was dispatched to. a boating
accident that occurred on Kings-
ley Lake. Investigation revealed
that one PWC occupied by two
females was drifting in the water
when a second PWC approached
on plane. The second PWC
reportedly experienced engine
trouble and was unable to steer
clear of the drifting PWC. The
two vessels collided resulting in
minor injuries to the passenger'
of the drifting PWC. The opera-
tor of the PWC responsible for
the collision was cited for two
violations.
COLUMBIA COUNTY -
COPS
July 17th, Officer Jeff Sum-
mers provided an added level of
safety to divers who attended a
Santa Fe River cleanup at Ginnie
Springs. Approximately 15 div-'
ers participated during the event.'
They covered less than half a
mile and collected an estimated.
two tpns of cans and bottles from
the river bottom. They are plan-
ning additional cleanup dives in


the near future as the water level
is down.
a DUVAL COUNTY
July 21st, at approximately
4:30 a.m., Officers Craig Magu-
ire and Brad Givens responded
to a report of a Kingfish Tourna-
ment vessel that struck the Little
Jetties in the ICW. When the
officers arrived, they discovered
the vessel pinned on top of the
jetties. Maguire pulled up to the
vessel and assisted two individu-
als, who were onboard, into his
patrol vessel. The operator was
transported to the hospital due to
a laceration to her chin. The op-
erator of the vessel was issued a
notice to appear for violation of
a fiavigational rule resulting in a
boat accident.
July 21st, Officers Craig
Maguire and Brad Givens
were, on water patrol in Duval
County working 'the Kingfish
Tournament. .At approximately
9:00 a.m., the officers heard the
captain of a local commercial
dive boat, located approximately
40 miles off of St. Augustine,,
hail the U.S. Coast Guard for
assistance due to the 'vessel's
mechanical difficulties. Magu-
ire contacted the Coast Guard in
Mayport to offer assistance with
boarding the vessel. The two of-
ficers joined the Coast Guard on
the Cutter King fisher. While en
/ route, the captain of the disabled
vessel contacted the CoastGuard'
and advised that he had fixed the
problem and that he was under-
*way again. However, the King-
fisher continued on course to
intercept the vessel at about 16
miles off of St..Augustine. Once
the commercial %essel was in
"isual range. four Coast Guard
boarding officers, along with
Givens and Maguire, launched
the boarding vessel from the'
Kingfisher and proceeded to the
commercial dive vessel. When
the boarding vessel was approxi-
mately one-quarter mile from.
.the stern of the commercial %es-
sel, the captain of the dive boat
turned hard to starboard, turn-
ing his bow toward the USCG
boarding vessel. Maguire and
Givens boarded the vessel with
two Coast Guard officers. As
the officers inspected the ves-
sel, they began to find lobster
parts on the deck and in several
other areas -of the vessel. Ap-
proximately two minutes after
the officers boarded the vessel,.
the Kingfisher advised them
that something was floating near
their bow. Floating were several
plastic bags containing over 60
pounds of lobster tails. The
captain of the vessel admitted
throwing the lobster over board
when he saw the boarding boat
approaching. Some of the lob-
ster -were egg-bearing and had
been speared. The two FWC
officers and two Coast Guard
officers stayed on board until the
vessel docked in St. Augustine
where they were met by special
agents from the National Marine
Fisheries Service. The cap-
tain of 'the dive vessel is being
charged federally for possession
of lobster during a closed sea-
son, possession of egg-bearing
lobster and for spearing lobster.
He also received citations from
the USCG for safety violations.
Other state and federal charges
are pending further investiga-
tion.


July 24th, Officers Jamie
Bevan, David Garns, and Eric
Hall were on water patrol as part
of a.two-day detail designed' to'
detect illegal. early harvest of
lobster. FWC Pilot Steve Stout
and Capt. Mike Edwards were
in an agency aircraft as part of
the detail. At approximately
6:30 p.m., Edwards noticed a
shrimping vessel a half mile off
shore towing four nets. Bevan,
Gamrns and Hall intercepted the
vessel and cited the vessel's cap-
tain for the violation.
(July 25th, Lt. Gary Klein and
Officers Chip Butler and Givens
'were on water patrol, as part of
the lobster detail, when they
stopped a small boat with two
occupants on board. During a
safety and marine fisheries in-
spection, the officers discovered
an undersized snapper, an under-
sized grey triggerfish and three
undersized black sea bass. A
citation \was issued for the-snap-
per and warnings were issued for
the other two species.
July 25th, Officer Craig Mla-'
guire received a complaint about
a vessel that w.as in the process
of being dismantled and dumped
into the Trout River. Maguire ar-
rived and spoke w ith the owner.
of the. vessel, who stated he
was in the process of moving
the vessel when it broke down.
The owner said he %would have it
moved by that night. The next'
day. Maguire received a call that
the vessel had broken from its
anchor and \\as drifting down"
the river. Maguire and GiQens
responded, towed the vessel and.,
re-anchored it in a safe location.
Bevan; met with the %essel's
owner and' issued him a citation
for failure to secure his vessel
properly.
LEVY COUNTY
July 20th, at 1:30 a.m., Officer'
Ryan Maier observed a vessel
return to the CR 40 boat ramp
in Levy County. The vessel
had three occupants onboard.`
Maier noticed two gig poles
with spear tips and a cooler.
He conducted a safety/saltwater
fisheries inspection on the vessel
.and occupants. The vessel had
several boating safety violations
including ,no registration cer-
tificate onboard, no sound pro-
ducing device, and insufficient
number of visual distress mark-
ers-flares. He discovered four
speared redfisbh in the bottom
of the cooler. The redfish mea-
sured approximately 21 inches,
17 inches, and two at 16 inches.
Maier cited the individuals for
illegal method of taking redfish,
over-the-bag-limit redfish, ,and
possession of undersize redfish.

Friends Of NRA
Raise Over $25,000
In Annual Banquet
.(Continued from Page One)
his best buddy "Deputy Dog"
last year. These dogs were very
popular home or garden decora-
tive pieces by Critter Creations.
SA special sale was the final item,
a Savage Arms "Cub" .22 Rifle
that is perfect for young learners
with their parents or grandpar-
ents. The item was shown at the
auction by Landon Smith who
was helping at the event. The
gun sold for $425 and after its
seller was finalized Mr. Elrod
congratulated Landon and told
him his daddy had just bought
that gun. Landon's face lit up.
After all was said and done
the evening had raised in ex-
cess of $25,000 and just over
300 people had come out to
support Friends of the NRA.
Al Hammond, National Rifle
Association Representative for
Florida, was on hand to ex-
plain just how the proceeds are
used from these events. These
funds support various groups in
Florida which educate on fire-
arm safety. In March of 2006,
$59,745 in grants were awarded
which provided funds for 16
grants. Recipients included;
Bell High School JROTC which
was awarded a grant for $3,558
to purchase shooting equipment,
and the North Florida Council
of Boy Scouts of America was
awarded a grant for $4,874 also
for the* purchase of shooting
equipment. The grant money
is used for range improvements,
seminar costs, shooting-sports
camps, equipment, and more. In
2005 Florida received $98,207
in grant money which funded 23
grants. In the past 10 years over
250 grants have been given out
for more than $823,978.
Congratulations to the Com-


mittee Chairman, Patty Galyean
and her committee members for
another successful event. Com-
mittee members were: Donald
Campbell, Randy Durden, Bud
Fisher, Joe Gilliam, Jake Koens,
Roy Langford, Rosemary Mc-
Daniel, and David Turner. A
huge thank you went out to each'
,,sponsor, underwriter and attend-
ee for their support. Friends of
the NRA is making a difference
where you live!


Camp Blanding
Lakes Are Reopened
Again For Public
Magnolia and Lowry lakes on
Camp Blanding open for public
fishing access beginning July
28th.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, lake ac-
cess has been closed because of
security reasons.
The public, may access the
lakes from 7:00 a.m. to 1:30
p.m. Friday and Saturdays, and
any day hunting is allowed and a
check station operated.
"Anglers must check in and
out at the Treat Road gate check
station off State Road 21 near
Keystone Heights," said Jerry
Krummrich, Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commis-
sion (FWC) regional freshwater
fish biologist. "Because of mili-
tary security, we must monitor
access to the post."
Military training days occur,
at times, on weekends, 'clos-
ing the area to anglers. Anglers
should call the Camp Blanding
Lake information line at (904)
682-3318 for a recorded mes-
,sage about possible closures, or
the Lake City Regional Fish and
Wildlife Commission office at
(386) 758-0525.
"Camp Blanding military
staff and FWC personnel have
worked, together to get the ac-
cess to the lakes reopened to
the public.
