27-year-old Trenton man suffers multiple injuries in Wilcox wreck


By Carrie A. Mizell
A 27-year-old Trenton man failed
to make the turn at the Wilcox curve
last Wednesday evening and suffered
incapacitating injuries after crashing
into the old Davis Grocery building,
several utility poles, a fence and a


tree.
Jesse C. Franke, 27, of Trenton,
was driving a 2005 Ford north on
State Road 26 at 6:25 p.m. when he
failed to make the right turn at the
Wilcox curve.
According to a Florida Highway


Patrol crash report, Franke's vehicle
left the highway on the west shoulder
of the road and traveled,, at an esti-
mated speed of 70 miles per hour, 36
feet before striking a metal pole that
supported an overhang of the old Da-
vis Grocery' building.


The vehicle then continued north
another 42 feet before hitting a sec-
ond utility pole and the comer of a
building. Speeding out of control,
Franke's vehicle continued on an-
other nine feet before striking a fence
post and driving through the fence.


Once the vehicle went through the
fence, it struck a tree before spinning
around and coming to a stop.
Gilchrist County EMS transport-
ed Franke to a waiting Shands Cair
helicopter that carried the driver to
Shands Hospital in Gainesville.


Trooper V.J. Gill stated that Franke
was not wearing a seat belt at the time
of the accident, and was believed to
have been drinking alcohol prior to
the accident.
No other information was available
at press time.


1954 Brockway tractor finds new life after restoration

Jackie Rome's tractor will be at Farm Toy Show and Old Tractor Parade in Newberry on Saturday


State Representative Debbie Boyd and State Senator Steve Oelrich
were in Trenton last Wednesday for a legislative 'delegation hearing.

Religion, recycling and

budget cuts among issues

local residents speak up on

Jesse Lee asked a state representa-
tive and ~t state senator last week to
consider working to get the Bible.
brought back into Florida Schools.
Lee spoke for his Sunday School
teacher J. M. "Murph" Everett, who
was unable to attend due to a family
funeral. In his stead, Lee presented a
letter to State Representative Debbie
Boyd and State Senator Steve Oel-
rich during a legislative delegation
hearing last Wednesday afternoon.
In the letter Everett said, "The state
of South Carolina passed a law a few
years ago stating that the Bible would
be taught in the high schools. It is
successfully being taught in South
Carolina. I am sure that the Bible
Ssrud there is just like other classes
being taught like history and other
classes there."
Attached to his letter, Everett had
the signatures of every member of
his "Next to Heaven" Sunday School.
class, who signed the petition to
show their support for having the
Bible taught at the high school level
as an elective.
"Representative Boyd, Senator
Oelrich, I am asking you to look into
this. Please check with South Caro-
lina and others to see how they go
about it. Please research it to see if
we in Florida can do something like
this," Everett further stated in his let-
ter.
Other citizens who addressed the
legislative delegation with issues
included Norm Conti, representing
AARP. Conti presented ideas for cre-
ating jobs through boosting recycling
efforts around the state.
As AARP president, Randy Dur-

den told the legislative delegation
that he understands there are budget
cuts, but presented them with a letter
addressing AARP's concerns.,
Speaking as a county commission-
er, Durden asked the state officials to
please make sure no unfunded man-
dates get sent down to Florida coun-
ties.
Sheriff Daniel Slaughter also said
he understands that funding is lim-
ited, but asked if there is any hope in
the future of funding being provided
to build the county a new jail since
the current facility is limited on space
and therefore has to farm out inmates
to other counties.
Senator Oelrich said he hopes to
work with the Sheriff's Office to find
funding in the future. He suggested
the sheriff contact the Florida Sher-
iff's Association in Tallahassee to get
information on further financial as-
sistance for a new facility.
While explaining budget problems
the state is currently facing, Senator
Oelrich said Florida can no longer
afford the Bright Futures Scholar-
ship Program, which was passed in
1997. The scholarship is Florida Lot-
tery funded and rewards students for
academic achievements during high
school by providing funding for col-
lege.
"It's a situation where we can't af-
ford it...we are going broke in higher
education," Senator Oelrich said.
"Most of the kids' parents can afford
to participate in their children's high-
er education costs."
Senator Oelrich suggested the state
set the tuition and let the market dic-
tate.
County Administrator Ron Mc-
Queen presented a list of issues to
the state officials, which included a
new county jail, regional water sup-
ply, seed money, county health de-
partment facility, tri-county senior
citizens project, State Road 26 re-
paving, solid waste recycling plant
funding, road construction funding
through STOP and SCRAP, and a
Lake City Community College cam-
pus in Bell.
School Superintendent Don Thom-
as told the legislative delegation that
2009 will be a tough year for. the
school system due to budget cuts.
According to Thomas, 80 percent of
the budget is personnel, so it will be
personnel that will lose their jobs to
make up for the budget cuts. The loss
in jobs will affect each school and
classroom, Thomas further stated. He
asked the state officials for more flex-
ibility with state funds.
"Let the school board use the mon-
ey where it is needed," Thomas said.

Though the last few months have
been grim, February 2009 looks
promising for Jackie Rome. The
Trenton resident and her late hus-
band, Hadley Rome, have a fully
restored 1954 Brockway tractor fea-
tured in "The Original Classic Farm
Tractors" 2009 calendar.,
The "Chevrolet orange" Brockway
tractor, which has a four-cylinder
1'62-cubic-inch Continental engine
paired with a four-speed transmission
and a chain driven rear end, shines on
the calendar page for the month of
February.
While growing up on a farm in Or-
ville, Ohio, Jackiecan remember the
day her father, Oral Butzer, purchased
the Ohio-built Brockway tractor,
brand new to use on the farm. One of
eight children, Jackie said she began
driving the tractor around the farm
at the age of 10 or 12. When Jackie
was 15, her family sold their farm
and moved to Florida. The Brockway
tractor, which boasted implements
used to haul lime and scrape snow,
also made the move to the sunshine
state.
According to Jackie, the tractor did
a lot of sitting prior to her father's
death in 1989. That same year, Had-
ley and Jackie took possession of the
factor, which'badly needed a new
paintjob and other maintenance work.
A heavy equipment mechanic, origi-
nally from New Orleans, Jackie said
her husband did not grow up around
tractors; but as a mechanic he knew
the inner-workings of the machine.
Once it was moved to their home on
Shady Grove Road, Hadley set about
refurbishing the aged tractor.
"When we got it, the tractor had a
busted grill that Hadley sandblasted
and repainted," Jackie explained.
"He also put in a new clutch, pres-
sure plate, brakes, radiator and water
pump."
. In 2000 the Brockway received its
first paint job, as a newly restored
tractor. The color Hadley selected


was affectionately dubbed. "Chevro-
let orange." Later, in 2003 a new 125
pound cast iron grill was installed on
the front of the tractor.
As the tractor work continued on.
the couple's love of vintage tractors
grew. It was at the Farm ToN Show
in New berr) in 1999 that Jackie said
she and HadleN found a copy of "An-
tique Power." While flipping through
the issue, the Romes discovered
more about their Brockway. tractor
Apparently. Brockway Tractors were
made from 1937 to 1939 and in 1940
the same family-operated company\
began putting out Leader tractors up
until 1949. %when theN sw itched back
to manufacturing Brockway tractors
up until 1959. Jackie said she also
found out through the magazine that
the grandson of the original Brock-
way tractor inventor was alive. In
early 2000, Jackie traveled to the
Ohio home of Al Brockway to visit
with the descendant of the tractor
inventor and see several of his own


Gilchrist County native

Sidney Philpot dies from cancer


By Carrie A. Mizell
Bell native Sidney Philpot, Jr.
passed away on February 1 after a
year-long battle with pancreatic can-
cer.
Raised on the family farm in Bell,
Philpot graduated from Bell High:
School in 1957. The son of Sidney
and Doris Philpot then graduated
from Florida State University vith a'
bachelor's degree in business. After
working in St. Petersburg for a short
time, Philpot returned to college to
obtain his law degree from the Uni-
versity of Florida in 1966.
Upon graduation, Philpot moved
to Lakeland where he worked for
42 years as an attorney. Even after
moving to Central Florida, Philpot
remained a true friend to Gilchrist
County.
Most recently, Philpot pledged to
donate 30 acres of land he owns near
Bell for construction of a Lake City
Community College campus in Gil-
christ County.
Funeral services for Philpot will be

the couple was only able to attend
one of their favorite shows, the Ala-

Then in September 2008, Hadley
passed away after a courageous fight

"Now all the tractor does is play,"
Jackie said. "My nephew, who is

"Stepping Forward for Education" Walk-a-thon Saturday


By Carrie A. Mizell
Saturday is expected to be a beau-
tiful day outside, with a high of 72
and a low of 42. That's great news
for walkers planning to lace up their
sneakers and participate in the Edu-
cation Foundation's annual Walk-A-
Thon on Saturday morning.
According to Tiffany Turner, 10
teams have signed up to take part in
the event, which begins at 9:45 a.m.


with an opening ceremony on the
courthouse lawn. Registration begins
at 9 a.m. and walkers will take to the
street at 10 a.m.
Plan to walk, run, wheelchair,
skate, roller blade, or push a stroller
along the two-mile course through
Trenton. There will be refreshments,
entertainment and fun.
Along with the annual Wild Beast
Feast, the Walk-A-Thon serves as a


primary fundraiser for the Education
Foundation. The money raised from
this event will be used to award mini-
grants to teachers to aid them in de-
signing and developing educational
materials and projects that enhance
student learning. The funds are also
used for scholarships for high school
seniors.
Turner explained that 2009 will
be a challenge for the Education


Foundation because the state has not
matched locally contributed funds
the last two years and prior fundrais-
ing has not been as successful. For
instance, in 2008 fundraising totaled
$29,779.84.
Currently there are 156 high school
seniors that are on track to graduate
from Bell and Trenton schools, in
June.

Bell teen plans for People to People trip to

China this summer

Bethel Baptist Church's FLC dedicated
By Carrie A. Mizell
As Bethel Baptist Church Pastor Jake Cravey said on Sunday, may.the church's new family life center serve as a
movement to see others come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
"May we not stick our thumbs in our shirt and boast that we built it, but humbly thank God for allowing us to be a
part of His plan for Bethel Baptist Church," Cravey stated. "And in all reality He built it."
Construction on the church's new facility was recently completed after eight months of labor. The building is
10,000 square feet and boasts a basketball court in the center, a total of six Sunday School rooms, a large kitchen and
bathrooms.
The vision to build such a facility came when Cravey encouraged church members to use money from the sale
of two river lots donated by church member Spurgeon Cheek, for the benefit of church members and reaching new
people who move to the area. The church sold. the two lots on the river at the height of the real estate market, therefore
making enough money off the sale to fund over half of the cost of the new metal building.
Church member Gary McKenzie suggested construction of a Family Life Center as it would provide additional
space for the church's growing AWANA program, which McKenzie works with. Along with room for AWANA on
Wednesday nights, church members are also looking forward to having a new larger dining area as they have out-
grown their current fellowship hall.
Bethel Baptist Church is located on County Road 344.
After a hard fight,
Sarah Tanner dies


age of 20


By Carrie A. Mizell
China is on the other side of the
world from Bell, Florida. That fact
coupled with the promise of seeing
one of the world's oldest people and
continuous civilizations has 16-year-
old Lacey Nobles very excited.
The Bell High School sophomore
is currently trying to raise the $6,500
needed to travel 7,482 miles to China
this summer as a student ambassador
with People to People International.
"We will have the chance to help
families on their farms, and to learn
cooking and marshal arts while we're
there," Lacey said.
As a student ambassador to China,
Lacey will leave the United States on
June 13 and spend 16 days visiting
major cities in China such as Hong
Kong, Beijing and Shanghii, 'while
seeing sites, including the Great Wall
of China and the Forbidden City.
A photography enthusiast, Lacey
said she is also looking forward to
seeing and photographing the region,
as well as having an inside look at
how the Chinese people live.
According to the People to People
International website, the program
was established by President Dwight
D. Eisenhower in 1956 to enhance
cross-cultural communication within
each community, across communi-
ties, and nations.
Lacey explained that she was anon-
ymously nominated for the program,
which looks for students with strong
leadership skills, who are open to
new ideas and are good citizens in
their community.
Once she was nominated, a letter
was sent to Lacey's home detail-
ing an upcoming People to People
International meeting that had been
scheduled to provide information on
the student ambassador experience to
all 200 students who had been nomi-


Lacey Nobles
nated. After the meeting, the students
had the option of applying for the
opportunity to take part in the China
trip, which Lacey did immediately.
After that, Lacey was interviewed


and was later selected as one of 40
students to take part. She is the only
student from Gilchrist County mak-
ing the trip to China through the Peo-
ple to People International program.
The trip is an exciting opportunity
to see a part of the world Lacey has
only heard of. Having traveled out of
the country on two prior occasions,
to the Bahamas ,and Canada, Lacey
never thought she would visit China
until the opportunity presented itself.
"We are supposed to learn a couple
of key phrases in Chinese," Lacey
said. "I can say 'Hello' and 'How are
you?'"
Lacey is the daughter of Connie
Nobles and Fred Nobles. She has
attended Bell schools since second
grade, when her family moved to Bell
from Alachua. While attending Bell
High School, Lacey has been active
in the Criminal Justice Academy; and
she has played on the junior varsity
volleyball and softball teams.

Sarah Tanner
By Carrie A. Mizell
After a courageous battle against
Cystic Fibrosis, 20 year old Sarah
Tanner went home to be with the
Lord last Wednesday.
The former Bell resident was first
diagnosed with the terminal disease
at just six and a half months old and
most recently underwent a lung trans-
plant in 2008.
During the 15 years the Tanner
family lived in Bell, while Sarah's
father, Wayne, was preaching at Bell
Baptist Church, the community was
aware of Sirah's condition and that
doctors had told her she might need a
lung transplant in the future.
According to friends, Sarah took
this news with the same attitude she
took all news, be it good or bad. She
told her parents that no matter what,
God would take care of her and her
family.
Sarah's funeral service will be held
at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 7 at Cha-
pel Hill Cemetery in Orlando.

Now arid 7A ei

By Carrie A. Mizell


Last Thursday was the coldest,
nastiest day of the winter, but that did
not stop Allie and me from traveling
to Gainesville to meet up with our
best friends Annie Whitehurst and
her new baby, Annabelle.
It had been two weeks since we'd
seen the girls, and that was just too
long. So we planned a trip to take the
girls to have their Valentine's pic-
tures taken at the Picture People in
the mall. In preparation for the big
day, we got the girls the cutest little
red and white shirts with a ladybug
on each one. With that, we felt like
we were ready....
Annie calls me on the way in on
Thursday morning and says she has
thought of just how we can all get
in the mall without getting wet. It
was a brilliant plan. We met under
the overhang at the main entrance,
loaded Allie, her stroller, and other
paraphernalia into Annie's car. Then
she followed me so I could park my
car and get in with her and the girls.
We then went back underneath the
overhang where we unloaded both
strollers, both girls, and all their gear.
I stood with the little ladybugs while
Annie parked her car and made a run
for it back to us in the rain. As Annie
later described it, we were breath-
ing hard and the day'had just begun!
I have no idea why we're worried
about post baby weight with work-
outs like that.
We got to the Picture People just in
time for our appointment, but unfortu-
nately they were running 20 minutes
behind. So all that perfect planning
of feeding times and changing into
the right clothes at the last minute (to
avoid spit up) was all for nothing. We
sat jostling the girls, offering paci-
fiers and making soothing sounds,
while trying to wait patiently. There
was a point when I was worried we
would have to kill a small child (by


"small" I mean not in school yet, but
old enough to know better). He came
dangerously close to our babies with
a ball and was practically shouting as
he bounced it off the ceiling. Yes, we
believe that mother needs to consider
her discipline options.
Finally, we got the girls in front
of the camera. Annabelle went first,
and she was precious. She smiled so
sweet, especially considering she's
only six weeks old. Then we put Al-
lie in a few pictures with Annabelle,
which was a real hoot trying to get
them to both look at the camera, smile
and sit upright. We thought the girls
were going to get in a knock down
drag out when the photographer sug-
gested it would be "cute" if we laid
Annabelle up on Allie's back while
she lay on her stomach on a bean bag.
Poor Annabelle; I know she must
have thought, "why is Allie scream-
ing like a wild banshee beneath me;
I'm not that heavy."
Once we finished our together
shots, Allie had her go in front of the
camera, which was a sight to behold!
She would not smile. My baby just
sat there staring at the photographer
like she had just about had enough of
all the publicity and she was not go-
ing to smile. The poor photographer
tried baby talk, squeaky toys and
-hand motions, but nothing worked.
That is until she pulled from her box
of tricks a genuine duck call. Once
she started blowing on that thing, Al-
lie came alive! She grinned so big. I
thought, go figure, a duck call of all'
things. Uncle J was so proud when I
later relayed the story to him on the
phone. (He has since tried a crow
call on her, which she also enjoyed).
Thanks, Uncle J.
Needless to say, the pictures turned
out precious; and Adam and I will be
buying Miss Allie Claire a duck call
for Valentine's Day.

Confucius made the observation that those who have no
children know so much about child rearing. It is very
difficult to imagine someone without'children presenting
themselves as an expert about children. All the books in
the world will not prepare one for the reality of child.
rearing. This is true in many walks of life. A person who
has never been married does not make the most reliable
marriage counselor. The doctor who has never been in the
operating room is very limited in the science of surgery.
When a General commands his troops in war it is best
suited when their leader has battlefield experience.
If you ask the common man on the street his opinion of
the Bible you will receive a wide range of analysis,
commentary and factual conclusions based upon a limited
(if any) knowledge of the true content of scripture. Many
of those who criticize the Bible have never spent any time
examining the book itself. Round table discussions of the
word of God include "facts" such as Jesus was really the
father of John the Baptist; Mhry Magdalene was a
prostitute; Paul was a frustrated gay man; Lazarus really
was not dead but just happened to come out of the tomb
when Jesus called him; Jonah was never swallowed by a
fish; the flood of Genesis 6 never happened; Jesus was
married and had children whose offspring now live in
Spain; and a myriad of other things that people candidly
pass off as informative conclusions about the Bible.
What is clearly evident in discussions such as this is
that usually the conclusions are being drawn by those who
are not opening the Bible up and pointing the proof of
their argument but you can do that with the Bible. "But
the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for

want to make their political bones
in the corrupt Chicago political
machine? To many of us, the answer
is obvious. His questionable dealings
and association with certain Chicago
notables raise serious questions as to
his integrity and his ability to wisely
pick his associates. These questions
have never been fully addressed, or
answered, due to the majority of our
main stream media ignoring them in
their quest.to see Mr. Obama elected
regardless 'of the facts and truth.
Shame on them. In this regard, Mr.
Obama carries some heavy, possibly
dirty baggage into his new job, such
baggage, which may well rival or
exceed that of our last Democratic
President, William Jefferson Clinton.
Mr. Obama's professional
accomplishments are limited at best.
His experience and qualifications
for his new duties are seriously
lacking. He has never run a business,
never made a payroll, nor ever had
to make a tough business decision
with resulting serious consequences.
Furthermore, his abilities have never
been tested in the private sector
of our economy, whereby, his
performance could be evaluated., He
is' simply unqualified. Even his claim
to have solely written a book has been
questioned and thanks again to our
biased media, this question has never
been fully answered. Finally, the
most telling aspect of Mr. Obama's
lack of leadership skills is to examine
his record as an Illinois State Senator.
When required to perform his duties,
by simply voting yes or no on issues
of importance to his state, the best
that Mr. Obama could do ,was to
merely acknowledge that he was
"present" almost one hundred and
thirty times. 130 times he could not
make a decision! Frightening, when
assessing his leadership qualities.
During the next four years we will
have the opportunity to determine
if our country made the correct
decision in the election of Mr.
Obama. The word brilliant is used
often to describe our new President.

Those who know me well know

tique shop. The hunt was on and after
about six months or so I must have 20
formance or so trays. Then another time I start-

icspeaker use in a quilt. Then some years ago
cspeawithout I took off lickety split searching for
e wi old clear glass tea pitchers. Being a
necessary big sweet tea fan, my collection now
on earth., comes in pretty handy.
Aleta Sheffield and I work together

of a mini about a web site she had discovered

,enter and com and now I am happy to announce
to use at I have a brand new hobby.
A cookbook was the original rea-
e who has son I took off on this search foi an old
ise funds book which has not been published
ve been in since 1907 to the best of my knowl-
y students edge.
slugends A. couple of years ago while in
delighted North Georgia I picked up a great
aid it all. cookbook entitled Smokehouse Ham,
tion is a Spoon Bread, & Scuppernong Wine
ts, teach- by Joseph E. Dabney. I read cook-
ity. Many books like most people read novels. I
and vol- usually start with the copyright page,
checking the copyright date and the
Sincerely, number of printings, and then on to
Lunsford the dedication page which in this case
Teacher hooked me. Mr. Dabney, who is a re-
ry School tired newspaper man himself, dedicat-
ed his book to Martha Berry. Well, to
tell you the truth, I was clueless about
who Martha Berry was myself until
cent my distant cousin and good friend
Diane Hardee Petersen filled me in
on Ms. Berry after her nephew Isaac
in Street went off to school at Berry College.
h Annual According to the dedication. page,
fundraiser Martha Berry's favorite Bible passage
s Farmers was, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the
on Satur- hills, from whence cometh my help.
Mo sat- y help cometh from the LORD,
two seat- which made heaven and earth." Psalm
p.m. For 121-1-2 KJV. Well as you can guess
call (386) by now, I was totally impressed with
9. the cookbook and very intrigued. A
few pages over I found the Foreword
written by John Egerton. Now I had
heard of John Egerton; he is a South-
(SHIP) emrn food writer. Mr. Egerton praised
thursday, the cookbook greatly but what really
lding at caught my attention was his mention
open to in the first paragraph of a book en-
titled Aunt Jane of Kentucky, written
a SHIP by Eliza Calvert Hall. According to
office at Egerton, Aunt Jane tells her grand-
daughter in the book how, "Piecin'
'ederson a quilt's like livin' a life." Ms. Hall
ederson caughtAunt Jane's mountain vernacu-
nistrator lar perfectly in the book. Egerton went
on to write how she used a patchwork
quilt to preach a sermon. Talk about
bers interested, well I nearly threw down
the cookbook to get to my computer
to check on Abe Books to see if the
book could still be found.
Can you imagine my happiness
when several copies popped up. The
million one I purchased came from a book
dealer in South Carolina. This book
was first copyrighted in 1898 and af-
ter several copyrights it was printed in
Boston in 1907 by S. J. Parkhill & Co.


I paid the sum of just over $10.00 for
this book that is over 100 years old.
The $10.00 price included shipping.
Let me tell yqu the book is a jewel.
Aunt Jane had two brothers who died
in the Civil War and as an old lady she
contentedly sewed her quilts, tended
her garden and "ricollectin" people
and places of her past. What a read;
Aunt Jane was surely the salt of the
earth.
In one chapter she tells of the time
her church's women's group, The
Mite Society, raised money by selling
extra butter and eggs to buy an organ.
The organ caused quite a stink as it
was the first musical instrument to be
brought into their church. Now re-
member this was 150 years-ago or so
and the men in the church considered
an Organ to be the Devil's instrument.
One paragraph in the The New Organ
chapter, reads, "Most o' the men folks
was against the organ from the start,
and Silas Petty was the foremost. Si-
las made a p'int of goin' against ev-
erything the women favored. Sally
Ann used to say that if a woman was
to come up to him and say, 'Le's go
to heaven,' Silias would start off to-
ward the other place at once; he was
set that mulish and contrary. He met
Sally Ann one day, and says he, 'Jest
gie you women rope enough and
you'll turn the house o' the Lord into
a regular toyshop." Well, once I read
that I just had to laugh. I wonder what
Silas Petty would think of praise and
worship music. .
-This may very well be the best
$10.00 I've spent in a long, long
time.
On the second page of the book
there was a pen and ink inscription
which reads, "Marion Bennett from
your Aunt AliciaP. Jordan, Christmas
1907." Later this book became the
property of American Merchants Ma-
rine Library Association in Baltimore.
There is just no telling where all my
century-old book has been. I sure am.
glad it ended up in my hands by way
of an internet site. I'm sure Aunt Jane
could not have imagined such a thing
as the internet.

This week's recipe is an old tried
and true one that many of you have
baked in years past, but I thought
it might be a good cake to bake for
your sweetheart on Valentines Day.

1 cup butter
1/2 cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 10-ounce package miniature
marshmallows
Frosting:
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup cocoa
1 16-ounce package powdered
sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Melt butter with cocoa in large
saucepan. Add sugar, eggs, flour, salt
and vanilla; mix well. Stir in pecans,
pour batter into greased and floured
13x9x3 inch baking pan. Bake at 350
degrees until wooden pick inserted
near center comes out clean. Sprinkle
marshmallows on top of hot cake
and cover with aluminum foil. Allow
cake to cool before frosting. Prepare
frosting by melting butter with cocoa
in saucepan. Add powdered sugar,
milk and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Spread on cooled cake in pan.


will bear you a son, and you will give him the name
John" (Luke 1:13). How can a person decide that Jesus
was the father of John the Baptist when it plainly says that
Zacharias was his father? Jesus and John were cousins
(Luke 1:5,13,26,27,36) and that is about all.
The lesson is found in the importance of being honest
with the Bible. There is more evidence (1000 fold) of the
accuracy of the Bible than the writings of William
Shakespeare. The reason that people approach the Bible
with a kind of mythical view is because it allows them to
dismiss the Bible as a fairy-story book of fables. The Bible
demands faith and faith is based upon truth (Romans
10:17). To deny the accuracy of the Bible is to allow the
reader to dismiss the necessity of faith. Through this action
accountability is removed and the individual can live as he
chooses; not under the servitude of the Creator.
This attitude toward the word of God is how the Jewish
leaders killed Jesus: Two false witnesses swore to the
Sanhedrin that Jesus said, "I am able to destroy the temple
of God and to rebuild it in three days" (Matthew 26:61).
Read John 2:13-22 to see how they twisted the words of
Jesus. The Bible is twisted so many ways today that few
can recognize the truth when they see it. The Psalmist
declared the truth of God's word: "Forever, 0 Lord, Your
word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89).
The apostle Peter wrote, "If anyone speaks, let him
speak as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11). In other
words, if you are going to say something about the Bible
do it as one who is speaking the utterances of God what
is written on the page. Then you will not look as a fool
before God (Psalm 53:1; Proverbs 10:8; 12:15; 13:16;
14:7; esp. 18:2).

J.R. Hernandez
One of the most rewarding aspects
of working with 4-H Club members is
getting to know the talents and skills
the young people have to share.
Our 4-H member of the week is
one of the most talented young peo-
ple around when it comes to playing
guitar.
* J.R. Hernandez is a 13-year-old
member of the Shooting Sports 4-H
Club. J.R. has learned in 4-H to safe-
ly respect, handle and use firearms.
In his 4-H Club J.R. has worked with
shotguns, rifles, and archery equip-
ment. J.R. has even represented
Gilchrist County at the State 4-H
Shotgun Match.
Another of J.R.'s passions is guitar
playing. J.R. has been playing guitar
for about three years. He participated
in the 4-H guitar classes last year, but
J.R. was a good guitarist the first day
he arrived at class. At 4-H County
and District Events days, J.R. has
won blue ribbons three times in the
Share the Fun category, the talent
portion of the events. J.R. also plays
in a band with some friends from his
church youth group.


J.R. Hernandez
J.R. is a wonderful, respectful
young man who is dedicated and
hard working. He has to be, to be so
proficient with an instrument and so

Bill Bulldous Basketball news ....... .


submitted
The Bell Varsity Bulldogs bas-
ketball team finished up its season
by traveling to Bronson to play the
Eagles, a team that they had beaten
earlier in the year. With the number
three seeding in the district at stake,
the Bulldogs outperformed the Ea-
gles in crunch time, and came away
with a 42-40 victory. The game was
all Bronson early, with the Bulldogs
tiring and Bronson playing tough de-
fense. Coach Mehl made the decision
to pull his starters midway through
the second quarter, and the second


string, as they have done all year,
played well and had the deficit down
to seven points at halftime. The coach
started his bench players in the third
quarter, and the freshmen and sopho-
mores played well once again. Final-
ly, the starters proved why they are
on the first team, and hacked away at
Bronson's lead throughout the fourth
quarter, eventually going ahead with
little time left on the clock,
The Bulldogs finished their season
at 13-5, swept rival Trenton and
Bronson, and are now headed into
districts with confidence. Coach


Mehl has been very pleased with
his players' dedication in the off-
season. "These players came in at
least three days a week, working on
their shooting, their speed, and their
strength, so they could compete
with some of the bigger schools in
our district. They worked hard all
summer, and now you're seeing the
results." Many of the players either
lost or gained weight in order to be
more effective on defense, a major
point Coach Mehl has tried to instill
in the squad.


Bell FFA Alumni news


February 22-28 is National FFA
week, and the Bell chapters will be
celebrating in a big way. Events are
being planned for the community and
elementary and high schools. Each
day will hold something new for ev-
eryone. A community-wide canned
food drive for local food banks will
be in full swing throughout the week.
Please keep an eye out for drop sites
or take your donations to the high
school. The week-long celebration
will end on the night of the, 28th with
a special event.
The Alumni are still selling orange
"These are my people, this is where
I come from" t-shirts. The shirts are
ten dollars each and can be purchased
from the Alumni at a meeting or by
sending money through the Agricul-
tural Department at the high school.
As the end of the school year ap-


preaches, it is time to prepare for the
end of year banquet. With this thought
in mind, all FFA members receiving
a degree must have their applications
in by March 2. Those who stand out
will be considered for Star recipients.
Also, seniors applying for the Alum-
ni Scholarship must have completed
applications postmarked by March 2.
The Alumni address is P.O. Box 764
Bell, FL 32619. No hand delivered
applications will be accepted for the
scholarships.
Previously the Alumni were plan-
ning a clay shoot for the end of Feb-
ruary, but due to unseen events, the
shoot has been postponed to a later
date.

held February 9, in the backroom of

TIUKRDAY, FEBRUARK 3, L2UUY


GIL CFHTTIcT COU NTY JOUIRNAL.


By Brandon McElroy
It's about that time! The 2009
Tiger baseball season kicks off next
Thursday, February 12, in a preseason
tournament right here in the Jungle!
For the past 4 years, Trenton has
gone to Chiefland for the preseason
classic but this year they will host
their own. Coach Scott Guthrie
noticed how much support the
surrounding areas were awarding
Chiefland's program and wishes to
achieve the same amount of success
here at Trenton.


There will be a band booster meet-
ing Monday, February 9, at 6:30 p.m.
All parents should attend so we can
get many important decisions made
for the Spring season. Mrs. Trente-
seaux will be available to answer any
questions as well on that date about
grades, practice time, performances,
scheduling, field trips, etc.
Starting in March our meetings
will be on the 2nd Tuesday of every
month, rather than Monday. I hope
this will help in everyone's schedule
so we may have more participation.
That is always our goal.
We are improving our system so
our students may reap the ,benefits.
Please sign up for one of our many
committees to choose from. Whatever
your likes are there is definitely


Saint Francis, Newberry, Bell, and
Trenton will all be swinging their

uncil's 2009 Kick-off Breakfast


Character Co
by Geneva Cornwell
It was truly the morning that was!
It was the sixth annual "Kick-off
Breakfast/meeting" sponsored by
the Character Council of Gilchrist
County. Even though it was early,
7:30 a.m., people arrived with smiles
and an expectant spirit for what the
council had "cooked up," and that's
not just a pun, for the breakfast
was very tasty, the fellowship was
grand, and the agenda for the event
was delightful and informative.
After the meal, Council President
Mary Dunn, led the abbreviated
meeting. New members to the coun-
cil were introduced; Cindy Slaugh-
ter as an Advisory Committee mem-
ber, and Kevin Randolph, the new
Council Website Master. This was
followed by a lively discussion of
the arrival of ALERT Academy Unit
40, and plans for the young men's
voluntary service work to our local
disabled elderly, widows, and dis-
abled veterans.
This is the third year that the
council has sponsored an ALERT
Unit, and the planning and execution
of those plans certainly takes a team
effort. Many Gilchrist citizens
and local businesses have stepped
forward to assist in whatever way
they can. The unit will arrive on
February 8 and depart on the 20th.
Council members, Diane Ron-
dolet, Carl Cornwell, Jessie Lee,
and Jimmy Sumner shared different
aspects of the agenda for what will
take place during the ALERT Unit's
stay, including work projects, trans-
portation, and meal planning and
preparation.
The after-meeting program
consisted of talks given tby guest

Bell Health Academy HOSA has great success at regional conference

~~~~~~~- . .-.Ii..." .


All Bell Health Academy HOSA students who competed at the regional conference at Chiefland High School on January 17 are pictured above.-


By Jesse Gray
On January 17, Bell Health Acad-
emy students attended the HOSA re-
gional conference at Chiefland High
School. At the conference, Bell had
about 58 people compete; and 24
placed to go on to the state level.
Marinda Norton, the new advisor
for the academy, had the pleasure of
going and watching the competitors
perform outstandingly.
"We actually had more first-place
winners than second and third com-
bined," she said after watching the
ceremony take place. "I was very
proud of all the students that attend-
ed." Thirteen out- of twenty events
were won by Bell High School stu-
dents.
HOSA stands for Health Occupa-
tion Students of America. The stu-
dents have a choice of picking one'
out of several health events and com-
peting in that event.
This year's state competition will
be held at The Double Tree Hotel in
Orlando on April 2 through 5. The
students will get to have a choice of
going to Universal Studios or Islands
of Adventure in addition to compet-

portal website
The Suwannee River Water
Management District recently rolled
out a new floodplain information
portal to help with public
outreach. The portal http://www.

been in use internally at the District
since early in 2008, went live to the

"I am very proud of our schools. We
have good programs that take good
people to run."
In closing, Representative Boyd
pledged to do the best she can.
' "The governor has just sent down
another round of large cuts," Repre-
sentative Boyd said. "There are a lot
of worthwhile projects that can't be
funded."
Senator Oelrich said the good news
is the state of Florida is not broke.

ers," Turner said.


public on January 1., 2009.
Flood information is now available
over the web, eliminating much of
the administrative burden previously
required to deliver flood information
to residents, businesses, surveyors
and other users. The tool educates
users and provides information con-
cerning flood zone location and type,
includes base flood elevation (BFE)
information, as well as descriptions
of how to interpret the specific Fed-
eral Emergency Management Agen-
cy (FEMA) flood zones.


"The flood report tool has been ex-
tremely useful when communicating
to property owners about their flood-
ing risk," says Kevin Wright, Water
Resources Engineer for the District.
"The system allows for accuracy be-
yond what is commonly possible by
interpreting BFEs from flood profiles
from'a Flood Insurance Study."
For more information on the new
floodplain information portal, please
visit the website listed above or
contact the District by calling (386)
362-1001.


A detailed floodplain map is now accessible on the Suwannee River
Water Management District's website. To access floodplain informa-
tion, visit www.srwmdfloodreport.com
