LCCC moves forward with Gilchrist facility south of Bell

Though it is unlikely Sidney Phil-
pot will see his vision of a Lake City
Community College campus built
in Gilchrist County during his life-
time, measures were taken on Tues-
day afternoon to move forward with
construction of a new center on 30
acres of land Philpot donated to the
college.,
Lake City Community College
President Dr. Charles Hall asked the
Gilchrist County School Board dur-
ing the special meeting for consent
on the project so that work can begin

Neiman as manager of Otter Springs
Park and Campground on January 5.
Gilchrist County Administrator
Ron McQueen reported Neiman be-
gan working fulltime at the 635-acre
state park on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Nancy Neiman
She is an Ohio native that relocated
to the sunshine state in 1972.
Neiman, has been involved as a vol-
unteer working for over 1000 hours
in the state park system.
Otter Springs, which is located just
off County Road 232 at 6470 SW
89th Avenue in southwest Gilchrist
County, has one-mile of river front-
age along the beautiful Suwannee
River, which provides a beautiful
natural setting with a second mag-
nitude crystal clear spring and other
smaller springs on the property.
Otter Springs Park will provide its
guests with heated indoor swimming


nated for the college.
"Mr. Philpot is not in good health
and this consent will let him know
that we are very supportive of what
he has done and thankful for his gen-
erous donation though he won't be
alive to see the project's fulfillment,"
Hall said.
During a phone interview Monday,
Hall explained that the community
college has not received the property
from the Philpot family, but the con-
sent given by the Gilchrigt County
School Board will act as a symbolic
gesture.
"This will be a long process,"

President Dr. Charles Hall, Gilchrist County School Superintendent Don Thomas, Gilchrist County School Board members, Cloud Haley, Bob
Clemons, Michelle Carter and Assistant Superintendent Dr. James Surrency.


Hall said. "Action will be taken
Tuesday afternoon, but that doesn't
mean bulldozers will be on the site
Wednesday."
.The community college president
pointed out that the state legislature
has no money for new projects at this
time, so it could be some time before
the Gilchrist Center is built on the 30
acres just south of Bell.


"We know Gilchrist County is a
growing area," Hall said. "Enroll-
ment is up at the Lake City Center
in Bell and we know that the state re-
sponds well to outgrowth of a facility
... it's an evolutionary process."
.Hall explained that the location, at
30 total acres, falls just beneath the
total acreage needed for the new fa-
cility to be considered a center, and


well beneath the 100 acres needed
for 'the facility to be deemed a cam-
pus.
"One option is that more land could
be donated to the site," Hall said.
As it stands now, the facility that
will be constructed will be a small
storefront similar to the Lake City
Community College Gilchrist Center
that is currently located in Bell.


Gilchrist County Planner Tay-
lor Brown said that 10 acres is still
needed for the new Lake City Com-
munity College facility to be consid-
ered a center.
"Mr. Philpot has given us the
foundation," Brown said. "There are
people with the means and desire to
leave property to the college through
estate planning."


New sheriff strives to Win back citizens' confidence


By Carrie A. Mizell
Don't be alarmed at the sight of a
uniformed Sheriff's deputy knocking
on the door. Chances are the deputy
just wants to say hello, make intro-
ductions, and establish an amicable
relationship.
"Knock and Talk" is just one of
Sheriff Daniel Slaughter's plans for
the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office.
Though he just took office two weeks
ago, Slaughter said he has plans for
the Sheriff's Office, which include
deputies knocking on the doors of
homes, and asking citizens what their
concerns are.
"One of the main complaints I
heard while -out campaigning was
that people don't know the deputies,"
Slaughter said. "I want deputies to
establish a rapport with citizens so
they will be more likely to call us if
there is a problem."
So far, Slaughter said he feels like
the citizens of Gilchrist County are
taking a wait and see approach re-
garding their new sheriff.


"I think they [the residents of Gil-
christ County] know it will take time
to transition," Slaughter said.
After working under Sheriff David
Turner for years, a number of citizens
have expressed concerns over wheth-
er or not things will change under the
new administration. To this, Slaugh-
ter said residents should look at the
two individuals he has placed in top
administrative positions. Major Tony
Smith has 36 years of public service
experience having served as a fire-
man, paramedic and law enforcement
officer, and Major Teri Gentry has a
bachelor's degree in criminology and
a Master's degree in criminal justice.
In her spare time, she teaches crimi-
nal justice classes online through
Saint Leo University. According to
Slaughter, Gentry will serve as chief
administrative officer, while Smith
will oversee law enforcement opera-
tions.
"Look who I moved up in my or-
ganization in reference to who he
[David Turner] moved up in his or-
ganization," Slaughter said. "I want
people based on their ability to do the
job, not who they are."
Slaughter opted to have two majors
rather than a chief and captain, which
eliminated two positions within the
Sheriff's Office.


The new sheriff said he feels that
having two majors working closely,
beside him will allow. for a split,
therefore giving more responsibili-
ties for overseeing the departments to
the majors. Slaughter said this setup
will give him a better idea of what's
going on within each department.
With 66 total employees, which
includes employees at the jail, office
staff, deputies and administration,
Slaughter said the Gilchrist County
Sheriff's Office does. not have a lot
of excess personnel, so having two
majors will be most effective.
"My intent was not to run every-
one [Sheriff's Office employees]
off," Slaughter said. "We have a lot
of good people ... they just need to
be pointed in the right direction."
Slaughter said his staff will focus
closely on combating a rise in bur-
glaries. He attributed the climbing
number of residential and commer-
cial burglaries to not only -a poor
economy, but also a drug problem in
the community.
"People are going to have to start
looking out for each other," Slaughter
said. "Call us if you see a vehicle in
your community that doesn't look fa-
miliar. It doesn't matter if it's a false
call and it turns out to be someone
who's supposed to be there. That's


okay. We'd rather be sure."
Slaughter said he met with local
investigators and officials from the
Florida Department of Law Enforce-
ment last Thursday regarding the
ongoing investigation into the brutal
murder of local farmer, Junior Kelly.
"The investigation is still very ac-
tive," Slaughter said. "I cannot give
out any other information as it is on-
going."
The sheriff said he also plans to
combat the rise in burglaries by build-
ing up Gilchrist County's Crime-
Watch organization. He explained
that CrimeWatch volunteers give of
their time freely and their presence
alone patrolling a community should
help with the increase in crime.
. Slaughter said he also plans to put
drug dogs back on the streets in an
effort to eliminate the growing drug
problem within the community.
Ultimately, Slaughter said he ran
for sheriff because he thought he
could make a change for the better.
"Some of the candidates had more
education than I did, but I have the
most experience and knowledge
of the needs in Gilchrist County,"
Slaughter said referring to the last
17 years, which he has spent wdrk-
ing at the Gilchrist County Sheriff's
Office. i

NesSmith nomi-
nated Taylor for
the program be-'
cause he exceeded
the criteria for
admission, which
reiuiired -he' have
at least a "B" aver-
Bushway age or rank in the
top 25 percent of
hisclass. To be considered, students
had to show a commitment to the
community, or school involvement
through participation in co-curricular
activities.
While in 9th grade, Taylor took the
ACT test for the first time and scored
a 32 out of a possible 36 points. He
also scored fives on the FCAT last
year.
"I'll take the ACT again because
my writing, score was a bit low,"
Taylor said. "I've never been good at
writing."
Currently, Taylor is serving as vice
president of Fellowship of Christian
Students, while also taking dual en-
rollment classes.
"After high school I want to go to
UF and get an engineering degree and
probably a master's," Taylor said.
For now, Taylor is looking forward
to his first trip to Washington D.C.
where he will not only attend inau-
gural activities, but also tour national
monuments and attend caucuses.

als.
This park features 100 drive-thru
RV campsites as well as miles of'
scenic trails and canoeing and wild-

beautiful natural swimming area for
all ages.
There were over 30 applications
submitted for the new manager's
position. The staff committee recom-
mended eight finalists of which the
manager was selected from.
One of several points that made the
hiring of Neiman so attractive was
that she has extensive experience in
recreational vehicle camping and is
expected to expand that segment of
the park.
She has moved into the Otter
Springs Park residence fulltime, Mc-
Queen explained.
The park is owned by the Suwan-

County, City of Trenton owe FEMA

thousands of dollars after 2004 relief


By Carrie A. Mizell
County and city officials are cur-
rently scrambling to find all paper-
work showing how FEMA money
given out in 2004 after two tropical
storms went through Gilchrist Coun-
ty in 2004was spent.
According to Trenton City Man-
ager Jered Ottenwess, the city had
no choice, but to accept a FEMA dis-
bursement of $120,000.
"Our insurance claim was for
$110,000,.so once we got that mon-
ey we were to use it to reimburse
FEMA," Ottenwess explained.
Gilchrist County Emergency Man-
agement Chief Ron Mills said that
Gilchrist County also received haz-'
ardous mitigation funds following
the 2004 storms.
In May, 2008 FEMA officials con-
tacted Gilchrist County officials and
the Trenton city manager to say they
were attempting to close out dis-

Cross City man
dies in traffic crash
By Carrie A. Mizell
A 24-year-old Cross City man was
killed early Friday morning after the
truck he was driving ran into the back
of a tractor trailer before overturn-
ing.
Thomas C. Valentine, 24, of Cross
City, was driving a 2001 Chevrolet
pickup southbound on State Road 55
in Dixie County at 5:39 a.m. when
for an unknown reason he failed to
see a tractor trailer that was attempt-
ing to make a u-turn ahead of him.
The left front and side of Valentine's
truck collided with the right rear of
the tractor trailer, which was driven
by Napoleon Walker, 62, of Palatka.
Upon impact Valentine's truck be-
gan to rotate in a counterclockwise
manner before overturning several
times. According to a Florida High-
way Patrol report, Valentine was not
wearing a seatbelt at the time of the
accident, and was ejected from the
vehicle at some point while it was
overturning.
The impact of the crash sent Val-
entine's truck across" the southbound
Slanes of State Road 55, through the
grass median and into the left lane of
northbound State Road 55. The truck
finally stopped in the left lane of
State Road 55, facing in a northerly
direction, stated Trooper G.D. Potter,
of the Florida Highway Patrol.
Valentine was pronounced dead
at the scene by Dixie County EMS
at 5:50 a.m. The driver of the tractor
trailer was uninjured in the accident.


bursements for 2004 and they needed
documentation of every check and
invoice written that would account
for the money that was spent.
"We did it the best we could, but we
could only come up with $75,000,"
Ottenwess .said. "Short of having an
auditor come in, I can't say for sure
where all the money was spent."
The city manager said he has ex-
hausted every record, but that city
officials .do not have the time, man-
power, or expertise to conduct a full
audit. Ottenwess estimated that it
would cost the city $10,000 to have.
a full audit performed.
"I suggested we submit what we
have to FEMA and they'll work
with us to go through the close out
process," Ottenwess said. "I just
met with FEMA and the guys from
the state's department of emergency
management in November."
Ottenwess said that when the close-


out process is completed this year, he
anticipates the city will find out they
have to pay back roughly $10,000,
which he says the city will be able
to take care of within a time period
after possibly working out a payment
plan.
"We could take some money away
from other line items within the bud-
get," Ottenwess said, pointing out
that gas and electricity prices have
fluctuated.
According to Mills, once an au-
dit was conducted of the county's
records a $29,000 difference. was
found between FEMA and Gilchrist
.County's accounting. Mills said
FEMA officials are trying to deter-
mine if Gilchrist County will have to
pay the money back, or if the money
will, come 'out of the next hazardous
mitigation grant given to Gilchrist
County when another storm comes
through the area.

18-year-old

arrested after

stealing snack

cake from

Tackle Box

By Carrie A. Mizell
An armed teenager was arrested
on Saturday morning after he al-
legedly stole a snack cake from
the Tackle Box convenience store
and brawled with a well meaning
customer in the parking lot..
James Michael Johnson, 18,
of Old Town was arrested by
Deputy Jimmy Anderson of the
Levy County Sheriff's Office and
charged with carrying a concealed
firearm and aggravated assault fol-
lowing the incident. -
According to Capt. Evan Sul-
livan, of the Levy County Sher-
iff's Office, numerous 9-1-1 calls
were received from citizens con-
cerned about a man being armed
with a handgun inside the Tackle
Box, which is located in Fanning
Springs.
While investigating -the scene,
Deputy Anderson ascertained that
a patron saw Johnson concealing a
Debbie snack cake in his pants and
when Johnson walked out of the
store the patron told Johnson that
he should not steal from the store.
At that time, Johnson reached in
-his waistline, at which point the
patron noticed that Johnson had a
gun concealed in his pants .
The witness physically wrestled
Johnson to the ground and .was
able to disarm him prior to Deputy
Anderson's arrival on the scene.
Once there, the deputy confiscated
a loaded 22 caliber handgun be-
fore transporting Johnson to the
Levy County Jail.
As the Levy County Sheriff's
Office spokesman, Capt. Sullivan
explained that Johnson did not
have a concealed, firearm permit.
"It is unknown why Johnson
had the loaded gun," Capt. Sulli7
van said.

Character Council's

Personality of the Month


By Geneva Cornwell
Generosity requires that we share
with others and expect nothing in re-
turn.
Generosity teaches us to give of
our time and talents and praise the
good we can see in others.
Generosity is realizing that I am a
trustee of all I have and using every-
thing for its best purpose.
The English word generosity comes
from the Latin word generous, mean-
ing "Of good or noble birth." What
makes one's birth "noble" while an-
other is "less" noble?
The fact is every person is born
empty-handed and totally helpless.
It is 'only because of the prepara-
tions and investments of others that
a child has opportunities to grow and
develop.
Generosity is realizing that every-
thing one has is directly or indirectly
the result of others' labors. The more
clearly we see how others are respon-
sible for our opportunities, the more
we will recognize the importance of
investing in the lives of others and
continue the cycle of generosity.
This month's personality surely
fits the bill of having a generous
heart. Mrs. Cindy Slaughter, Direc-
tor of Admissions at Ayers Health
and Rehabilitation Center, believes
that "showing generosity has its just
rewards, for when a person shares,
it's about blessings which are sure to
come, while knowing that a person
has been helped in some needed way;
and when joy, happiness, and some-
times relief, is shown in the recipi-
ent's response."
Cindy stands by her commitment
to others in leading by example.
Mrs. Slaughter is the mother to
four grown children, and eight grand-
children.
She continues to emulate to her
offspring that "being generous to
others and expecting nothing, in re-
turn brings satisfaction in itself, for
no price tag can be placed on the sim-
plicity of just being generous."
This lady, with such a bubbly per-
sonality, fits the bill in her occupation
she has held at Ayers for eighteen


Cindy Slaughter
years now, for her generosity toward
others is "knowing that 'This is the
day which the Lord has made. Let
us rejoice and be glad in it' (Psalm
188:4), because for some they may
not have a tomorrow and being gen-
erous brings an investment into their
lives today."
This author has learned so very
much from so many Gilchrist County
citizens who strive to be all they can
be and to do their best in whatever ca-
pacity they are presently living their
lives. Cindy Slaughter, like so many
others who are our neighbors, dem-
onstrates that good character surely
makes a difference and contributes
much to our friendly, cheerful, and
generous environment.

Meet Your Neighbor


In celebration of my grandmother,
Doris Beauchamp's 80th birthday on
Saturday, mom and I put together a
little tea party in her honor. We invit-
ed over 25 of Granny's friends to her
house for the afternoon party, which
featured several varieties of tea and a
table full of delicious treats. We were
thrilled when nearly all of her friends
arrived at the drop-in hour of 2. Most
of Granny's friends stayed the en-
tire two hours, catching up with one
another's latest happenings, while
discussing grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, recipes and quilting
(of course!)
Guests (and later the "workers")
enjoyed pecan tassies, pound cake,
coconut tassies, cream cheese and
pepper jelly with crackers, cheese
straws, fruit skewers, chicken rounds
and cucumber sandwiches. Mom or-
dered our tea from The Tea Room in
Savannah, which is a must see next
time you're on Broughton Street. She
selected Mirabelle, Emperor's Bride
and Brins Cup, a green tea. I opted
not to try the green tea, being ada-
mantly opposed to all things "green,"
but I did enjoy Mirabelle and Emper-
or's Bride.
Granny had THE best time! I think
it was the happiest I've seen her in
ages. I know it must get a little too
quiet in her hotise..living all alone
since my Papa passed away; and re-
cently she has lost two of her dear
friends so to say she needed a little"
party would be an. understatement.


Besides Granny LOVES to be the
belle of the ball, which is so much
fun to watch!
Granny's best friend, Mrs. Dorothy
Jean Carter, attended the tea. She is
one of my favorite people, and for
sure the only person I know who
would wear her sparkly cowboy belt
to a tea party!!! (She said she had
her "bling" on) Isn't that great! Mrs.
Dorothy Jean is so much fun to be
around. Now in her early 70s, Mrs.
Dorothy Jean has not even thought
about slowing down and Heaven help
that Carter crew if she ever does.
One of my favorite things at the
party was the memory board mom
made. Positioned on the book table
with two pieces from Granny's first
set of dishes; the memory board fea-
tured old black and white pictures of
my grandparents taken over the years
when their children were small, with
bird dogs at the hunting camp, but
most importantly together.
Seeing, Granny with all her friends
has given me something to strive for.
When you stop and think about it,
how many 80-year-old women have
nearly 30 special friends, of all ages,
from women they quilt with, go to
homemakers club meetings with, or-
garden club meetings with, to women
my mom's age who granny taught to
sew or once served as their 4-H lead-
er. It speaks so highly of her charac-
ter and God's blessings in her life.
I hope to get 80 years old and be
that lucky one day.


Streetwise B
I By


As I get ready to head to Las Vegas
fo'r this year's Consumer Electronics
Show, the thought once again came
to mind that it does not take much
in the way of ingenuity to postulate
an association between Wall Street
and unbridled gambling. Further-
more, one might even conclude, tak-
ing recent events at face value, that
Wall Street had marked the cards and
loaded the dice.
Although I will certainly acquiesce
to the argument that.the fires of greed
were fed by a regulatory'environment
that was far too lax, remember that
at one time many individuals were
more than happy to "fudge" a bit on
.a mortgage application, or gleefully
speculate in a rising real estate mar-
ket, one that defied all reason and
logic. Wall Street, in turn, did its part
to help sell the euphoria, while at the
same time pocketing exorbitant fees.
The end result is all too evident in the
carnage of decimated portfolios.
On a more positive note, I would
counter that over time equities will
resume their rise in value as com-
panies enhance their value through


dividends and retained earnings. A
corollary to that theorem is that there
is no such thing as a market that does
not have investment opportunities.
Moreover, market fluctuations
should not enter into your investment
decision process. There has never
been a time in history when there
were not reasonable investment op-
portunities available to those desir-
ous of searching for them.
Yes, the market's overall 2008 per-
formance was miserable. That is cer-

Crawford
Lives: Bell
Family: Husband of 22
years, Doug; son, Brett, 18,
and daughter, KayLee, 13.
Works: Reading Coach at
Chiefland High School for
the last four years.
Prior to that: Worked a
total of 18 years as an ag.
teacher at Bell and Trenton.
In your spare time: I like
to work in my yard. Mowing
my grass is like my blood
pressure medicine.
First job: Pulling weeds
out of peanuts for no pay,
but for school clothes. I was
about 8-years-old.
Something not many peo-
ple know about you: I'm a
Southern Sister..
Your hero: My momma
for'putting up with my daddy
because now I appreciate it.
You're always telling your
kids: If you're early, you're


tainly no secret. Unfortunately, mar-
ket gains and losses do not adhere to
a desired or specific timetable. There
are intervals, and we are currently in
one, where it could take two or three
years before the worth of a particular
investment decision is fully vindi-
cated.
That said; let us move; on to look-
ing for those investment ideas that
are going to be productive as we go
forward into the coming year. To il-
lustrate the points just made, we will
kick off our investment New Year
with Genentech (DNA).
A year ago my 2008 earnings es-
timate for Genentech was $3.75 and
I. had a target price on the shares of
$81. Back then the shares were trad-
ing at about $70. Genentech recently
closed at $84 for an annual capital
gain in 2008 of 26 percent. Yes, you
read that correctly.
Founded more than 30 years ago,
Genentech is a leading biotechnolo-
gy company that discovers, develops,
manufactures and commercializes
medicines to treat patients with sig-
nificant unmet medical needs. For the
third quarter ended Sept. 30, Genen-
tech reported U.S. product sales of
$2,452 million, a 14 percent increase
from the $2,155 million reported in
the third quarter of 2007. Earnings
per share came in at $0.68, a 6 per-
cent increase from the $0.64 in the
third quarter of 2007.
The company is currently forecast-
ing full-year 2008 non-GAAP earn-
ings in the range of $3.40' to $3.45
per share, down from $3.40 to $3.50
per share. The drop. is due primarily
to the cost of the employee retention
programs, estimated to be $0.08 per
share in 2008.
It is interesting to note that the
company's cost of sales fell to 15 per-
cent of revenues in the third quarter,
as compared to 17 percent a year ago,
while R&D expenditures increased
to 22 percent of operating revenue,
as compared to 20 percent a year ago.
Marketing, general and administra-
tive expenses came in at 18 percent
of operating revenue, as compared to
19 percent a year ago. In other words,
the company spent less on overhead
and put more money into developing


What Shall We Do Then
(Kent Heaton)


John the Baptist was a fire and brimstone preacher. His
appearance alone would strike fear into most hearts. "Now
John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a
leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts
and wild honey" (Matthew 3:4). His sermons were direct
and not very commending to the religious order of the
Jewish nation. "But when he saw many of the Pharisees
and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, 'You
brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath
to come? Therefore bear fruit in keeping, with
repentance'" (Matthew 3:7-8). He would warn them not
to trust in their lineage for God did not approve of their
hypocrisy.
When John was preaching to the people he would
rebuke their pretense but then follow up with great words
of encouragement. The. historian Luke records such a
sermon in Luke 3. After warning the multitudes to "bear-
fruits worthy of repentance," John was asked by the
people,, "What shall we do then?" (Luke 3:10). John
outlined five things they needed to do.
First, they needed to give to the needy. "The man who
has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and
he who has food is to do likewise" (Luke 3:11). Albert
Barnes said of this passage: "In other words, aid the poor
according to your ability; be benevolent, and you will
thus show that your repentance is genuine." John did not
want to make the people think that repentance required
only hardship but the attitude of heart that would reach out
to other people. A changed heart toward God is a changed
heart toward one another.
"And some tax collectors also came to be baptized,
and they said to him, 'Teacher, what shall we do?'And
he said to them, 'Collect no more than what you have


been ordered to'" (Luke 3:12,13). Honesty is a
characteristic of the people of God. Tax collectors were
hated by the Jews because of their propensity to take more
taxes than required by the Romans and pocket the rest for
themselves. Zaccheus acknowledged if he had defrauded
anyone he would return four times as much (Luke
19:1-10). The author' Matthew was a tax collector. John
exhorts the people to be honest before all men.
Remarkably, some soldiers came arid questioned John
the Baptist about what they must do. "'And what about
us, what shall we do?'And he said to them, 'Do not take
money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely,
and be content with your wages'" (Luke 3:11-14). The
final three admonitions are found in response to questions
by soldiers. Soldiers had a powerful role in John's world;
whether as Romans soldiers. or those who served Herod or
Philip. Regardless of their place of responsibility, John
admonishes them to be kind, be truthful and be content.
What a powerful example the soldiers would make for the
teaching of John the Baptist to fulfill those roles.
These lessons should not be lost on the people of God
today. Our lives must be filled with benevolence (Matthew
25:31-46) for we will be judged by such. Honesty is the
golden crown of a Christians life (Ephesians 4:15;25-32).
Kindness and truth should be our garments of grace to
others (Colossians 3:12-17). Being content is the
admonition of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:11 and 1
Timothy 6:8. The Hebrew writer also exhorts the
Christians to "Make sure that your character is free from
the love of money, being content with what you have; for
He Himself has said, 'I will never desert you, nor will I
.ever forsake you'" (Hebrews 13:5). John the Baptist had a
good sermon.

V. Bell Takes Down


Trenton High School has several
budding artists enrolled in the Art
I class this year. During the 2nd 9-
weeks, students learned about the
elements of art. The art elements
are line, color, shape, texture, form,
value, and space. What the ABC's
are to reading, the elements are to art.
Students created many projects that
not only helped them learn about art,
but also made them think in new and
creative ways.


Artwork created by the THS Art Students.


THS Art classes


Art I students also learned how to
work with basic art mediums dur-
ing the,2nd 9-weeks. They learned
several drawing techniques, made
collages, painted, learned how to
shade and how to make a portfolio.,
They created several mixed medium
pieces--where several techniques are
combined into one artwork. Stu-
dents also participated in art critiques
where they analyzed their' work and


the work of other students and of-
fered suggestions for improvement,
if needed. Art incorporates all the
higher order thinking skills; and many
students discovered that art is harder.

of their work and many were over-

ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD

older who meet an income limitation may be

DISABILITY
Each veteran who is age 65 or older who is partially or totally permanently disabled shall
receive a discount from'the ad valorem tax otherwise owed on homestead property the

benefits. Disability forms are available at the Appraiser's Office.


Additional Homestead Exemption
How does the "double homestead" work?
The existing homestead exemption typically reduces the assessed value
of a property used as a primary residence by a Florida resident by
$25,000. This would provide an additional homestead exemption up to
$25,000, on the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000.
For example, if your assessment ib $65,000, the first $25,000 and that
portion above $50,000 ($15,000) would be exempt, making your taxable
value $25,000 (65,000-25,000-15,000). Prior to new law, the taxable
value would have been $40,000 (65,000-25,000).
This additional homestead exemption does NOT reduce the assessed
value upon which school taxes are based. Also, it does not reduce or
otherwise affect the "Save Our Homes" deduction or any other exemp-
tions. It Is not necessary to file for this additional exemption if you, have
the Homestead Exemption already.


HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE -- A NEW
APPLICATION MUST BE FILED FOR
ANY CHANGES
Information will be required from all persons applying for exemptions to
determine their residency status. If Iusband or Wife is filing for one or
both, residency documentation will be required for both.
We are at your service and will be most happy
to assist you in any way.
Our office is located in the Gilchrist County Courthouse.

Trenton 56-24
By Joel Elliott
Bell played host to Trenton on Fri-
day, December 19, with Bell look-
ing to stop a recent streak of losses
against their cross-county rivals.
With the tip-off, the game was un-
derway and Bell looked like a team
ready to win. The sound defense and
good shot selection by the Bulldogs
led to a 14-7 score at the end of 'the
first quarter. With everyone on the
team playing tough defense, Coach
Mehl was able to insert his second
team, who proved that they aren't to
be. sneezed at either. The defensive
show kept going, and the Bulldogs
led 28-11 at the halftime buzzer.
The third and fourth quarters were,
as you may have guessed, a defen-
sive show, as Bell held the Tigers to
only thirteen points in the final two
quarters. The Bulldogs never trailed
at the end of each quarter, and many
times, doubled the score of the Tren-
ton team. The team effort put forth
by the Bulldogs was indicative of the
philosophy put forth by Cogch Mehl
and his staff every day in practice.
The defensive performance can be
summed up in a quote drilled into
the players' heads every single day:
"There is no glory in defense, only
victory." And a convincing victory
was the result.
The victory by Bell improved their
season record to 7-3, which includ-
ed victories in the Bronson Tip-Off
Classic against Bronson and a tough
-wpr.y -er Mayo. Of the three lqsss
that-Bell has experienced, none: hs
been greater than an eight-point mar-
gin. The exciting play of this team of
"young guys" has been entertaining
to watch.

TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY

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

Questions Most Frequently.Asked About Tangible Personal Property


Q. What is Tangible Personal Property?
A. Tangible Personal Property is everything'other than real
estate that has value by itself. It would include things such as
furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, household appliances,
signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies, leased
equipment and any other equipment used in a business or to earn
income.
Q. Who must file?
A. Anyone in possession of assets on January 1 who has either
a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employ6d
agent or contractor, must file each year. Property owners who
lease, lend or rent property must also file.
Q. Why must I file a return?
A. Florida Statutes 193.052 requires that all tangible personal
property be reported each year to the Property Appraiser's
office. If you receive a return, it's because our office has
determined that you may have property to report. Ifyou feel the
form is not applicable, return it with an explanation. Either way,
the form MUST be returned. Failure to receive a Personal
Property Tax Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your
obligation to file.
Q. How can I obtain this form?
A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible
Personal Property owners. If you do not get one, contact the
Property Appraiser's Office.
Q. What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file a
return?
A. Yes, if you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out
items I through 9 on the return, and attach an explanation of
why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and
rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies,
rented equipment or household goods.
Q. If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return?
A. Yes, if you were not in business on January 1 of the taxing
year, follow this procedure:
1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and
the manner in which you disposed of your business assets.
Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.
S2) Sign and date the return.
3) Have your signature notarized.
4) Mail the return back to this office.
Q. What is an office or field review assessment?
A. When a tax return is not filed by April I we are required to
place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents
an estimate based on the value of business with similar
equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your
responsibility to file an accurate return.
Q. What ifl don't agree with the assessed value that appears on
the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in
August of each year?
A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If
you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the
actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the
opportunity to review all the pertinent facts.

$25,000 Tangible Personal
Property Exemption

In order to receive this new exemption, you must
file a Tangible Personal Property Return by April
1, unless an exemption has been granted.

Tangible Property Return shall be considered an
application for the exemption and will be applied
to the first $25,000 of assessed value for the TPP
account.


To inquire for more information about
Tangible Personal Property please contact:
Damon C. Leggett
Gilchrist County Property Appraiser

Trenton, Florida 32693
(352) 463-3190 1-800-219-3208

Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year Who is
responsible for the taxes?
A. The new owner is responsible, however if there is insufficient
property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January I would be responsible for
the difference. Most title companies do not do a search of the tangible assets of a
business. You should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent to
avoid problems in this area.
Q. What if I receive more than one tax return?
A. All returns must be sent back. If you have more than one
location, the assets of each' should be listed separately on each return.
Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully depreciated and
written off the books?
A. Whether fully depreciated in your accounting records or
not, all property still in use or in your possession should be reported.
Q. Do I have to report assets that I lease, loan, rent, borrow or are
provided in the rent?
A. Yes, there is an area on the return specifically for those
assets.. Even though the assets are assessed to the owner, they must be listed
'for informational purposes.
Q. Is there a minimum value that I do not have to report?
A. No, there is no minimum value. A tangible tax return must
be filed on all assets by April 1.
Q. If I rent my furnished home or condo for a few months, do I have to
file a tangible personal property tax return?
A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature,
you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should
be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal
property included in the rental unit.
Q. Are there deadlines and penalties?
A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After
April 1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at 5% per
month or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is
required for unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO
RETURN IS FILED.

Wilbury C. "Pee Wee" Thomas


Card Of Thanks
The family of Wilbury C. "Pee
Wee" Thomas would like to most
sincerely thank everyone for the out-
pouring of love during ourrecent loss
of our loved one.
Pee Wee was certainly one in a
million. He was a most generous man
with innumerable friends, a love for
life, and was blessed to call Gilchrist
County home. His love for this com-
munity and the people thereof was
unsurpassed.
The kinds words, delicious food,
beautiful flowers, and most of all the
prayers from everyone who knew
Pee Wee were very genuine.
Our loss of Pee Wee is a void that
can never be filled, .but your gestures
of love and concern for'our family
were tremendous and are most ap-
preciated.
The following poem was written
in honor and memory of Pee Wee.
Again, thank you all so much for your
love and support during this most dif-
ficult of time.
Pee Wee
The Master of Friendship
A son, a nephew, a cousin, and a
very dear friend. A Mason, a farmer, a
deputy on whom you could depend.'
. A man of honor, of courage, of
certain talents, you see. A master of
friendship to all of you, as well as to
you and me.
A man who loved life, and had that
famous, deep-throated laugh, Pee'
Wee was such an amazing friend for
each of us to have.
As the son of Mr. Bish and Ms. Na-
nette he was sent from God above, a
fine .example of an obedient son, for
he gave them all his love.
Ms. Nanette used to kid of just how
Pee Wee got his name; he was a tiny
little fellow at first; my how things
did change.
She would smile as she would say, '
"I almost lost him in the sheets, he
wasn't a big as a minute, from his
tiny head to his little feet."
She surely thought he- baby boy]
could have olice' hung' the moo,',"'
thank goodness she never saw some
of the pictures hanging in his room.
After her passing, he and Mr. Bish
sure did 'make quite a pair, with Le-
roy and DeRon not far behind, sitting
in the big chair.
And let's not forget the latest of
Pee Wee's four-legged friends; his
name is less than acceptable here, it
was "Unintelligent Back-End."
DeRon was the man, spoiled rotten
right to the max, if Pee Wee was near,
DeRon was right behind him, follow-
ing in his tracks.
For his closest and dearest friends,
and you all know who you are...Pee
Wee loved his time he had with you,
his favorite times by far..
A compassion to help others, he
loved to lend a hand, perfect, not so
much, but love him you must; he was
a unique man.
He enjoyed his time here, lived
each day with full tilt, his fried food,
his sweets, and even his cigarettes
with very little guilt.
Family meant the world to Pee Wee;
there was something about blood kin,
but' some relatives, he would say
needed to make' visits more-thin.

He loved Gilchrist County, and as
a deputy served very well; everyone
loved Pee Wee, except the ones he
toted off to jail.
A good pair of cowboy boots, now
that was the thing to find, -and a shirt
without a pocket, you must be out of

that you might use with Pee Wee in

lowed, now he really tried to obey;
not really, you know Pee Wee, he was
gonna do it his way!
Rarely could you pass by and not
see a yard full of trucks and cars, Pee
Wee's friends were just as plentiful as
a night sky full of stars.
At his home you were always wel-
comed with his sincere, "Ya'll com
in." Have a seat 'round the bar and
visit, he loved for you to drop in.
There were times it got pretty dim
and we all thought that might be it,
but ole' Pee Wee would bounce right
back, always giving us a fit.
For some time now his body has
fought and sure put up a good fight; it
had simply exhausted efforts, given it
all of his might.
And the example he has left here
for each and all of us, life is a precious
gift, soak it up with dear friends, for
they are a must.
For Pee Wee is at home now, no
more appointments and no more
meds, he's at home with his dad and
mom, at heaven's table being fed.
If he could see us once again, for
just a moment, I think he would say,
thanks for you friendship, it was the
best, I'll see you soon, one fine day.
For he taught us that there are
things in life that far surpass the rest,
personal relationships with family
and friends, that's what makes life
best.
We all have our memories and sto-
ries, some that wouldn't be appropri-
ate to share; Pee Wee loved to laugh,
loved to have a good time, loved to
show you he cared.
At the end of this day. we will all
look back and know how much we
were blessed; to have known him
was to love him; Pee Wee was more
special than all the rest.
Pee Wee, we love you buddy, you
have most certainty touched us all,
never a dull moment with you, you
lived your life, and you most certain-
ly had a ball'.
God bless you all,
The family of Pee Wee Thomas

From the shelves of the

Bell Library


I hope you all had a wonderful
holiday and are all ready for 2009
and what it brings. Atjthe library,
we are adding new books almost
every day. One of these is "The
Front," written by Patricia Corn-
well in her style of mystery and
intrigue. The hard charging dis-
trict attorney believes the evidence
that is'available could solve the
forty-year-old case of the Boston
Strangler.
The junior age book we will
review today is "Animorphs: The
Forgotten." The author is K. A.
Applegate. We are pleased that
these comments were written for
us by a seventh grade Bell El-
ementary student, Nikki Bolender.


Nikki stated that the book is about
five children who have the ability
to transform into animals and are
trying to save Earth from aliens
called Yeeks.
For the beginning reader we
suggest a Lamb Chop Fable, writ-
ten by Shari Lewis, "The Boat
Contest" featuring Aesop's Fable
concerning the lion and the mouse
in which a mouse irritates a lion
but later proves he can be helpful
to him as he helps the lion escape
from a trap. See how this boat
race is similar to the Aesop's Fable
mentioned.
Hope to see you at the library
soon.
