recently.
"It was a 56-year-old male who had
trouble breathing," she explained. "He
kept saying,'I can't breathe!', and then his
chest stopped moving. He went into a

above grade level in 2005.
Third grade students
reading at or above grade
level in Hamilton County
increased 14.98 percent, up
to 68 from 53. This year,
every district experienced
increased improvement in
the percentage of third
graders reading at or above
grade level over last year,
and 16 districts made dou-
ble-digit increases. Like-
wise, every district saw a
drop from last year in the
percentage of students
reading at the lowest level.
Five districts had double-
digit decreases.
Third grade students
demonstrating mathematics
skills at or above grade lev-
el in Hamilton County in-
creased 11.38 percent, up to
60 from 48. Sixty districts
experienced improvement
in the percentage of third
graders demonstrating
mathematics skills at or
above grade level over last
year, and nine made dou-
ble-digit increases. All but
seven districts saw a drop
from last year in the per-
centage of students demon-
strating mathematics skills
at the lowest level. Seven
districts had double-digit
decreases.
The schools in Hamilton
County have used several
methods to improve third
grade FCAT reading and
mathematics scores, accord-
ing to Rex Mitchell, Director
of Instruction. Each staff
member undergoes contin-
uous professional develop-
ment and is dedicated to
meeting the individual
needs of each student. At
the beginning of the school
year, school staff members
review student data to de-
termine student weaknesses
and strengths.
Each third grader in the
district now receives direct
reading instruction in addi-
tion to the regular reading
program. They also use
computer technology pro-
grams, such as Compass
Odyssey and Read 180, on a
consistentbasis.
A district math coach in-
structs those students who
need extra help in math
skills. After school tutoring
services are provided by Ti-
tle I (SES Services).
"Reading and math skills
are critical for a student's
success in school and in
life," said Education Com-
missioner John L. Winn.
"These school districts have
shown the rest of the state
the commitment necessary
to take students to the level
of their capabilities. I com-
mend the students, parents
and teachers for their hard
work in making these gains
a reality."
This year's scores show
the largest year to year in-
creases in reading since
2001. Overall, 57 percent of
students in grades 3
through 10 are reading at or
above grade level compared
to 47 percent in 2001. In
mathematics, 61 percent of
students are demonstrating
skills at or above grade lev-
el compared to 50 percent
in 2001.
Social promotion for third
grade was eliminated in
2001 as a necessary inter-

produce spontaneous

sounds, and coughing,
moaning and various voice
sounds.
Skipper said during the
intubation of SimMan,
she could see all the vocal
cords in his throat. "Every-
thing looked just like it was
supposed to. It was neat!"
She said her group had to
intubate SimBaby@ too.
"Karen would cause the
baby/s throat to close up
and I would think, 'No,
don't do that! I have to get

"It was really special to
be able to train in situations
that we don't see too often,"
Skipper added.

The town of White Springs
is basing their entire eco-
nomic future on tourism.
The state of Florida's econo-
my is based also on tourism.
This is "risky business" at
best. Last year the Florida
Keys lost five million dollars
a day in tourist business dur-
ing hurricane season. This
means the state of Florida
lost revenue on the five mil-
lion dollars a day. As a busi-
ness owner in White Springs,
I lost 50 percent of my earn-
ings for my bed and break-
fast during hurricane season
2004 and spring flood season
of 2005. The bed and break-
fast business is down by 25%
across the nation due to high
gas prices.
If people cannot get gaso-
line for their vehicles or the
cost of fuel is too much, the
town of White Springs will
dry up economically. It
struggles now to survive.
Florida will have low rev-
enues to meet the demands
of the possible destruction of
hurricanes.
None of us relish industry
in Hamilton County but the
reality of not having fuel for
our automobiles in a rural
area where many must com-
mute 40 miles or more to
work is not a pleasant
thought. Just think what life
would be like for you and
your family if you cannot buy
fuel because it has reached $5
a gallon or worse yet, there is
no fuel at any price. Think
what it would be like to have
empty or near empty shelves
in the grocery stores because
truck drivers cannot get fuel.
If the United States does
not become energy indepen-
dent in the near future, we
could have a drastic change
in the American lifestyle.
Every state needs to have
ethanol plants and we should
do our part in Hamilton
County. Florida is growing at
the rate of 4,000 people per
month (not counting illegals).
The US 41 corridor is an "en-
terprize zone" and if you
haven't noticed, becoming
more and more of an indus-
trial area. This is going to
happen regardless of
whether the ethanol plant
opens. Having ethanol pro-
duction within the county
could be the difference in
having fuel in your automo-
bile in a few years. Besides,
Hamilton County needs the
revenues from the industry
since tourism is such a "risky
business."

Dear Editor,
I address you as a mem-
ber of the White Springs
Beautification Board, of
the White Springs Devel-
opment Committee, ant I
am to be confirmed as a
member of Hamilton
County's Board for the
Enterprise Zone. I am also
a member of the Chamber
of Commerce and my
home is a National Regis-
ter Historic House.
As a caring and con-
cerned citizen and also a
business owner and pro-
moter of historic White
Springs, I am troubled
about the future of our
town and its vision for the
future. If an ethanol plant
comes, it will defeat all
the many hours, the years
and years of hard and
dedicated work that peo-
ple like me many of who
have been caring for
White Springs much
longer than I and at enor-
mous personal sacrifice -
have put into making ,our
area a special place to vis-
it.
Each year, White
Springs becomes a nicer
place to live and feel a
part of. Projects we have
worked on for years are
just now coming together:
new sidewalks, boat
ramps, parks, trails,
shops, restaurants, bed
and breakfasts and more
beautification plans. I am
not against all industry,
but I have to resist the
coming of one, which will
make White Springs into a
"pass through" for traffic
associated with the
ethanol plant. Their
trucks thundering past
will make of our city any-
thing but a place to picnic,
canoe, stroll about, and
enjoy the natural world.
Therefore, I plead with
you to reconsider the pro-
posed plant and set its po-
tential damage (also to
our air and water re-
sources) against the per-
spective of our citizens'
vision for White Springs
and the surrounding ar-
eas. This vision is the sum
of many peoples best
thought and all the steps
we've already taken to en-
hance our natural heritage
will have been taken in
vain if more noisy trucks
are routed through the
center of town.
I have a mailing list of
more than one thousand
people who come to
White Springs and I want

-
to share with you a story
like many others I have
heard from our visitors.
These are the words of a
woman named Patty Las-
sow who only a few days
ago told me this:
"My mother used to
love to come to White
Springs. She would sit in
her wheelchair and watch
the river and look at the
pretty flowers. It was her
favorite place to be for
quiet and peace. My
mother passed away four
years ago and now I come
here every year for Moth-
er's Day. You don't need
more-traffic. It would ruin
White Springs."
I look forward to work-
ing with the Hamilton
County Commission and
the Town of White
Springs in developing our
community in the best
way possible to attract
newcomers who will con-
tribute in many ways, in-
cluding, their payment of
taxes, to our community.
Thank you for the respon-
sibility you bear in guid-
ing Hamilton County, in-
cluding the hearing of my
plea.

Bura Mae Trotman
ura Mae Trotman,
age 83, of Pavo,
Georgia, passed
away on Sunday, May 28,
2006. Mrs.,Trotman was the
daughter of the late Willie
Cole and Effie Lee Hender-
son.
Survivors include eight
children: Effie Hogan
(Samuel) of Jacksonville,
Florida; George Trotman Jr.
(Gloria) of Gainesville,
Florida; G. Helen Udell
(Isadore) of White Springs,
Florida; Carl Trotman
(Yung) of Dallas, Texas;
Maple Wright of Charlotte,

Ealy (Ron) of Augusta,
Georgia; Iris Teasley
(Zachary) of San Antonio,
Texas; and Karen Boles
(Anthony) of Fort Bragg,
North Carolina.
Family will receive visi-
tors on Friday, June 2, 2006,
from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at
Mt. Pleasant A.M.E.
Church, Marion Station,
As most of you know Har-
vest Fellowship Church is
building a new church build-
ing just south of Jasper on
Highway 129. As we were
making preparations for the
building we had to do a lot of
site work. We removed all
the foreign materials from
the soil where the building
will be built and replaced it
with good dean compactable
soil for the foundation to set
upon.
When the general contrac-
tor laid out the building and
started digging the founda-
tion I was amazed at the size
of the holes that had to be
dug and the amount of con-
crete that had to be poured
for the building to sit on. The
compacted soil, metal rein-
forcement, and concrete
made .a formidable founda-
tion for the church building
to sit upon to keep it from -
shifting or sinking under the
weight of the structure or
storms that will come our
way.
The engineer told me that
the foundation had to be'.
,deep and wide enough not
only to hold the building up
but to meet the wind require-
ments to keep it from blow-
ing away in a hurricane.
In that same way every
person needs a good founda-
tion in their life,to keep them-
selves from shifting or sink-
ing under the weight of life
and the storms that come our
way.
Florida. Services will be
held on Saturday, June 3,
2006, at 11:00 a.m. at Mt.
Pleasant A.M.E. Church. In-
terment will follow at New
Hope Cemetery in Jasper.
D.M. Udell & Sons of

ments.

Ray "Buzzy" Michael
Merritt, age 48, of
Lee, Florida, passed
away Thursday, May 25,
2006, at his home following
a brief illness. Buzzy was
born in Live Oak, Florida,
on January 24, 1958, to the
late John Henry and Edna
Guest Merritt and was
raised in Jasper, Florida. He
was a self-employed car-
penter and was a veteran of
the United States Navy.
Survivors include his
brother and sister-in-law,
Butch and Patty Merritt of
Jasper; one sister and broth-
er-in-law, Joy and Jack
Monk of Chipley, Florida;
his fiancee, Sharon-Souza of
Lee; nieces and nephews:
Melissa, Ashley, Donald,
Nancy and Theresa.
There will be a private
service to be held at a later
date. Harry T. Reid Funeral
Home was in charge of
arrangements.
In Matthew 7:24-29, Jesus
gives us good advice to build
our lives. He tells us that we
need to build our house on
the rock rather than the sand.
The rock is~stable where the .
sand is shifting. The rock Je-
sus is talking about here is
the rock of adhering to the
word of God. If we adhere to
the teaching of the word of
God we will be able to with-
stand the storms of life when
trouble rains down upon us,
trials flood us, and the winds
of tribulation blow and beat
.against us. If we are founded
upon the rock Jesus Christ,
we will weather the storms of
life. But to do so we need a

So, just as we need to prop-

The weather for Memori-
al Day weekend was very
nice, and, here in White
Springs, on the banks of the
Suwannee, we welcomed a
very large crowd to the 54th
annual Florida Folk Festi-
val. The agricultural ways
of Florida were highlighted
in the Folklife area, and one
could learn about every-
thing from orchid cultiva-
tion to auctioneering tobac-
co. It was all there.
One highlight of the
weekend was the dedica-
tion of the Suwannee River
Gazebo in memory of the
late Ann Thomas, longtime
festival supporter and out-
standing Florida singer and
songwriter. Ann helped es-
tablished the Florida songs
stage at the River Gazebo a
number of years ago. It was
fitting that it be named in
memory of her.
I emceed the event, and it
was well attended by
friends who came to pay
homage to a folk icon.

A very special guest for the
event was Frank Thomas,

Wales. Frank continues to
be a viable part of the Festi-
val. There was also a very
fine plaque, that was un-
veiled on the site of the
gazebo.
As always, it is good to
see home folks at the Festi-
val. I was so pleased to
share a visit with Aunt
Nancy Morgan who has at-
tended all 54 of them.
Niece, Phyllis Lewis, and
daughter-in-law, Irene
Morgan, had Aunt Nancy
out for the day. She seemed
to be really enjoying herself.
She is a former recipient of
the Florida Folklife Her-
itage Award. She listened to
the River Gazebo concert
given by grandson Kerry
Waldron, city manager of
Adel, Ga., my brother Jerry
Lawrence and myself, as
well as a number of musi-
cian friends.
I was also pleased to
.share a visit with Chad
Davis, Atlanta, Ga., son of
Don and Beverly Davis,
Lake City, and Lloyd and
Jeanette Raymer, Lake City.
Chad was 'visiting with sis-
ter, Sissy Gay, Lake City,

was good sharing a visit
. ith all of them.

Norris Notes
By Lillian Norris
Although the official cele-
brations of Memorial Day
will be past when you read
this, we have not participat-
ed in the programs at this
writing, you hopefully ob-
served the day in some
way. The musical tributes
Sunday on television were
tastefully presented, with
feeling. They brought back
memories of WWII. I was a
young girl during those
years when .the hymns of
the various branches of ser-
vice were being sung by
everyone, on the radio, or
whenever and wherever
people came together. We
learned all of them, getting
excited every time we heard
the music begin. So many
lives were lost then. Since
then, during these days so
fresh in our minds, it is only
fitting that we should offer
our prayers and thahksgiv-
ing for those who have sac-
rificed so much, that we
may freely express our feel-
ings and thankfulness in
public. There were also
good movies, what we
could bear to watch, to re-
mind us of the sacrifices
made in the past. We are
safe in our homes while oth-
ers are fighting that we
might be free.
We will not be able to
make the Memorial Day
Program on Monday morn-
ing, hosted by the Bryant-
Phillips American Legion
Auxiliary 215. My plan is to
attend Tuesday morning
sponsored by VFW Post
8095. This is one thing we
can do to honor those who
have given the supreme
sacrifice for our freedom.
Martha Mitchell Dicker-
son from Jacksonville, her
daughter Kimmie, and
Kimmie's daughter, were
visiting Martha's parents,
Dr. Billy and Martha
Mitchell. They attended
church at First Presbyterian
Sunday morning and other
family members gathered at
the Billy Mitchell home to
share lunch with each other.
Last week was a visiting
time for family members of
Sharon and Ralph Gay.
Their daughter, Pam, and
her husband, Lt. Col. David
Kovach and their two
daughters, Hannah and
Sarah, were here from Col-
orado Springs, where Col.
.Kovach is a Flight Pilot In-
structor in the Air Force.
The Kovach family re-
turned to the Air Force
Academy after being sta-
tioned in Hawaii. The

daughters are active in bal-
let performances. Sarah re-
cently performed the lead
role in the ballet Swan Lake.
The family gathered on
Friday evening included
those mentioned, plus
Sharon's mother, Mrs. Lil-
lian Bembry; Ralph's moth-
er, Mrs. Elvie Gay; the Gays'
son and his wife, Randy and
Melanie Gay; Col. Kovach's
mother, Mrs. Marion Ko-
vach from Valdosta, Ga.; Dr.
Bo and Charlene Bembry;
Marilyn and Farrell Bur-
nam, Jeff and Roxanne Bur-

Scott Burnam; Alma Bem-
bry from Adel, Ga.; Teresa
and Mark Leif and son,
Spenser; Lucille Brown;
Heath Bembry and a friend;
Roger Bembry Jr., Albany,
Ga.; and Geraldine Fisher,
Jasper.
The Kovach family took a
few days to go further
down the state, including a
trip to Disney World. The
Gays took them to their
place at Manatee Springs
for a few days and were
joined by Randy and
Melanie.
The Kovach family went
to Valdosta to spend a few
days with Col. Kovach's
mother. While there, Mrs.
Kovach had an unexpected
trip to the hospital for emer-
gency surgery. They were
able to be there with her for
a few days before returning
to Colorado. Other mem-
bers of Col. Kovach's family
had joined them in Valdos-
ta. Mrs. Kovach is recuper-
ating, doing well.
Does anyone know why
Hardee's is closed? I do not
even know when it was last
open. Ben said he went by
Sunday morning, saw the
sign "Closed Until Further
Notice" at the drive-
through order board. This
is a shocker, unless some-
one knows the meaning of
this.
Again, we are interested
in hearing from former res-
idents. In response to a note
in my column regarding
Dr. Ben's accident, an email
came from Koby Adams,
who most of you will re-
member, wanting to know
what had happened. He
had recently been in Jasper
and subscribed to the
Jasper News. We learned
that he owns a property
management-real-estate
services agency (The
Adams Agency, Inc.) in
Lake City and is planning
to expand to Live Oak and
Jasper. I replied and asked
him to let me know what is
happening with his family.
His wife, Cindy, works
with him, along with his
daughter, Ashley, who is a
sophomore at Lake City
Community College; his
sister, Theresa, also works
with him.

It's important for people of all ages, especially
seniors, to stay active. According to the Centers for
Disease Control, being physically active can reduce
your risk of dying from heart disease and
decreases the risk for colon cancer, diabetes and
high blood pressure. Physical activity also helps
control weight; contributes to healthy bones,
muscles and joints; relieves the pain of arthritis;
reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression; and
can decrease the need for hospitalizations,
physician visits and medications. Indeed, there's a
lot riding on incorporating exercise into your
lifestyle.
There's no better time than now to start
exercising. Be sure to check with your doctor before
increasing your physical activity, especially if you
have a chronic disease or family history of chronic
disease, chest pain, shortness of breath, high blood
pressure, asthma, diabetes, blood clots, infections
or fever, joint swelling, hip surgery or a hernia.
Here are some tips
to help you get started:
Don't just jump into a fitness routine. First,
stretch your arms, legs and back. Start off slowly,
gradually increasing the pace of your exercise.
Don't do too much too soon or you will hurt yourself.
For example, the AARP suggests starting with 10
minutes of walking before going to 20 and then 30
minutes. For a strength-training program using
weights and machines, talk to a fitness instructor on
how much weight to lift and how to use the
machines properly.

Exercise should make you feel better, not worse.
A little soreness, discomfort or fatigue is normal.
Listen to your body if you feel lightheaded, a
shortness of breath, a sudden, severe headache,
are sweating excessively, or have pains in the chest,
stomach or anywhere else, you should stop
exercising. If symptoms persist, contact your doctor.
If you are on medication or have a condition that
alters your heart rate, don't use your pulse as a
judge of how fast your heart is or should be beating.
Wear the proper protective equipment for your
activity. If you are biking, wear a helmet. If you are
in-line skating, wear a helmet as well as knee and
elbow pads. Protective gear should be of good
quality and fit properly. It may be expensive, but it's
an expense that is well worth it.
Watch out for the elements. If it's hot, exercise in
the early morning or early evening when it's cooler,
or stay in the shade and wear lightweight clothing. If
it's cold, dress in layers, and be careful of ice and
snow.
It's especially important to stay hydrated when
you are engaging in exercise that makes you sweat.
Drink before, during and after exercise to prevent
Dehydration.
A cool down is just as important as a warm up.
Stretch your arms, legs and back to bring your heart
rate back to its normal level.

Mitchell and Hatcher Realty
Longtime business with new connections
Mitchell Realty was begun
in the early 1980s by Mitch
Mitchell after receiving his
real estate license. catcher
then began to buy and sell
land and prostered. He went
on to start a gold and diamond
business "and by the grace of
God it exploded!" Mitchell
said.
Mitchell continued to de-
velop land, and after many
successful years, his son,
Trey, took over the real estate
business and partnered with a
life long friend, Dewey
Hatcher, changing the name to
'Mitchell and Hatcher Realty.
Mitch Mitchell is still in-
volved as an advisor to the
company.
For Trey, real estate had al-
ways been a passion as he
watched his family grow and
succeed in the business begin-
ning '\\ith his grandfather.
Fred Mlitchell. It. is no\\ his
chance to do the same.
Dewey Hatcher Jr. received
his bachelor's degree from St.
Leo University. A short time
later he became interested in
the real estate profession.
When the opportunity pre-
sented itself, he whole heart-
edly accepted Trey's offer to
become a partner.
Trey and Dewey share re-
sponsibilities such as market-
ing properties, employee rela-
tions, sales and many other
aspects of the business.
Mitchell and Hatcher Real-
ty currently has offices in
Steinhatchee, Fanning
Springs and just recently
added an office in Cross City.
The company plans to expand
to more communities in the
future: '
Mitchell and 'Hatcher has
seven associates Cheryl
Pridgeon, Carol McClellan
(office manager) and Emily
Hatcher (Steinhatchee office),
Nick Hatcher and Duane Can-
non, Cross City office; Carol
McQueen, Davey Padot and
Jennifer Padot of the Fanning
springs office.
Trey and Dewey are very
involved in the communities
they serve. Both are members
of the Dixie County Chamber
and are on the Board of Real-
tors in Dixie, Gilchrist and
Levy counties and are mnem-
bers of First Baptist Church of
Steinhatchee.

"What's a fish
By: Capt. Brian Smith,
Big Bend Charters
Go to your local fish market
and they'll tell you, to the pen-
ny, what each fish there is
worth at that moment. They
will often times have a price
sign stuck in the ice, right be-
side the fish's head so you
don't even have to know what
kind of fish it is, but you'll
know it's worth $12.95 a
pound.
If you look around, you'll
notice different types of fish
have different prices. Some
types of fish are priced higher
than others even though
they're lying right next to one
another in the ice bed. A fish is
not a fish, is not a fish' .Aren't
all fish created equal? Come
back in a few days and some of
the prices will have changed.
The fish you saw three days
ago for $12.95 per pound is
now $9.95 per pound. Come
back the next day and the same
lis h is $S.95 a pound. The
price of that fish is dropping
$1 per pound per day; I'll come
back in a week. A week later
you conclude that someone
else obviously bought that fish
the day before you returned,
but you learned old. fish aren't
as valuable as new fish.
Ask commercial fishermen
the worth of a fish, and he'll
tell you the current wholesale
price and let you know that
price will be less by the time
he returns with his catch. Fur-
thermore, the decline in
wholesale fish price by the
pound appears to be directly
correlated % ith _he increase in
diesel cost bN the gallon.
I asked a fellow in Panama
Cici how much' a fish was7
Sort. We' w ere at the yacht
basin standing beside his well
polished 63-foot sport fishing
wagon with a triple decker fly
bridge trimmed with numerous
gold international fishing
reels. He s-ijcome aboard. I
did, after ipaintg of m\ feet
on the section of carpet on the
dock with the name of the ves-
sel embroidered on it. The,
cockpit w as a large dance floor
with .tA in fighting lounge
chairs port and starboard: em-
broidered name on the back-
rest. of course. On the transom
was a hide-awa. sink. see-
through hte-well,. raw% and
fresh w after %wash down and
tackle storage. Looking for-
%ward. there twas a full size
chest freezer for fish food, a
refrigerator for people food
and drink and a bait prep, sta-
tion larger than a drafting
board, table with, integrated
tackle, storage. A stairwell
leads to the primary helm sta-
tion on the first tier of the fly
bridge. Gold plated rod hold-
ers dot the brightwork. A wrap
around sofa framed the cap-
tains' chair so guest could have
a great view of a bank of elec-
tronics that would shame
NASA in the 1960s. The sofa
had a stocked baby refrigerator
so you wouldn't have to go up
and down the stairs to get a
fresh drink. Embroidered
name on the sofa? What do
you think? A stainless ladder
dropped from above and lead
to the secondary helm station.
Looking up the ladder, it
seemed to me to be the "stair-
way to heaven," judging by
. how far it went up. I can't
imagine anyone climbing up
that thing in a rolling sea with-
out a safety harness. I suppose,
in the event of bad weather,
you could transfer helm con-
trol to the upper station so the
Lord could take the boat in!
Through the double doors
was an all mahogany salon.
Walls, sofa, chairs, table,
hutch, galley/wet bar, etc. were
all trimmed in mahogany in
such detail that the grain of the
wood was seamless. The floor
was, covered in a rich bur-
gundy carpet, except for be-
hind the bar, which was Italian
tile engrained with seashells.
Going down and forward, we
looked at the queen sized guest
quarters and full sized bath-
room. The term "head" doesn't
apply to me when the head
was larger than the bathroom I
have in my house.
We .peeked into the king
sized captains' quarters. "This
is %% here I stay," he said and
closed the door. I assumed it
had its' own "head." You know,
one of those dank mildew
smelly cramped toilet closets
you find on party boats. He
didn't let me in his quarters be-
cause he was a little embar-
rassed he couldn't afford a
showcase bathroom like the
guests were privy to, or so I
a drink and %we chatted some
more. I found out it costs $800)
per month to. have his boat
float at that slip. That fee in-
cludes two parking places next
,to your slip. For $2000 a day
he'll hae his captain take out
your party for a wonderful day
on the w\.ater. The mate's tip is
not included, by the by. He
was a gracious gentleman but
never quite answered, my
question as to the worth of a
fish.
Two hours of prep time on
Friday night. to make sure
:most things are rigged and
ready, to minimize doing
much.work in the darkness-of
the early morning, meaning
that your Honey Dumpling
didn't get any "quality time"
after the work week. Then an
hour and a half drive to the
crowded boat ramp where it
takes all your restraint not to
blow your top at the ill pre-
pared fellow ahead of you
who obviously shared quality
time with his Honey
Dumpling the night before.
Then an hour or so bumpy
boat ride to the best fishing
spot in our GPS to find out
that three other boats have
stolen your secret number.
The bite is slow so you decide
to take a snack break, you ask
your buddy, whose sole re-
sponsibility was to bring the
food and drinks, for a sand-
wich and soda. The look on.
his face tells you he spent
quality time with his Honey
Dumpling last night too and
forgot the groceries. You
inanageto put a ife fishl in the
boat before hunger and thirst
force aborting the fishing mis-
sion. After the mental anguish
of loading the boat back on the
trailer at the public boat ramp,
you find yourself at the Quick-
ie Gas Food Mart and Laundry
Emporium putting $25 worth
of gas in your- truck, $50
worth of gas in your boat, 2
quarts of two-cycle oil ($5), a'
cold six pack of liquid prosac,
bag of stale chips and a pep-
percorn hotdog i Ii,. (Defin-
ition: Peppercorn hotdog-
what you assume to be a spicy
all beef link ith a sprinkling
of peppercorns only to find
out, after first bite, that the
"peppercorns" there just
roasted flies that got stuck on
the wiener as it rolled-around
for hours on the machine).
The parn\ continues once
you pull back on the road, af-
ter you donate the chewed and
unchewed portion of the pep-
percorn dog to the roadside
raccoons. Your buddy offers to
help clean up the boat and the
fish, but you're so ticked off
that for the sake of the friend-
ship you feel a little time alone
is best and tell him you'll take
care of it this time. Soon you
find yourself alone in the
backyard with a few dead fish
and a bomber squadron of bit-
ing flies that somehow heard
what. you did with their kin,
folk at the QGFM&LE. Still
scratching the whelps from the
flies, you toss the chunks of
bagged fish parts in the garage
freezer, drag yourself to the
shower, flop down in that
nasty oeri staffed chair she's'
been dying to have hauled off
to the dump, pop the last can
of warm liquid prosac and re-
ceive the silent treatment from
your Honey Dumpling. "Hon-
ey, do you want me to cook
that fish for diner tomorrow
night?" No answer. and she's
sitting across the room staring
at. you. The worth of those
fish? I don't believe math ap-
plies.
The jo\ ful screams and an-
tics of.child speed cranking
grunts to the boat at a rate that
is only curbed by the time it
takes you to 'remove the fish
and put oh more bait. He is ab-
sorbed in the moment like- salt
in water. He is the best fisher-
men the 'world has ever
known. Just ask him. The sat-
isfaction of digging, a big
grouper off the bottom to the
point of getting x inded brings.
the child out in a grown man.
You can tell by the way he
poses for a boat photo and
then sneaks a few peeks in the
cooler to marvel at the accom-'
plishment. The roller coaster
facial expression brought on
by a submarine missile strike
from a five foot plus barracu-
da on a trolled tube lure. The
aerial dance brings silence till
splash down. "Did you see
that?" "Somebody get the
rod!" The naked flicker of a
redfish tail, bringing out the
springer spaniel instinct in a
guide as she poles her client
within casting range. "Fish.
ON!" Who's more excited? I
vote the fish but I could be
w rong.
ThosN four'quick scenarios.
are all very different but the
same. You see, we can add up
the cost of equipment and so
forth, the value of our time
'and even factor in what we
could have been doing if we
weren't fishing. But w e can't
put a price on that single red-
fish, or one grunt out of a hun-
dred or more, or that dancing
barracuda that most people
would just release anyway.
The value of the fish is in the
moment.
The fish retailer and com-
mercial fishermen are
painfully aw are of the cost of
getting fish. They know the
value of that fish declines
from the time it is caught to
the time it is sold. They're
simply trying to affix a dollar
figure on the fish. They're in
the fish business but the val-
ue of the fish is in the mo-
ment.
Sportfishermen look at fish
a bit different but there is a
similarity. The man with the
63 footer spent millions to be
in the lap of luxury the mo-
ment the fish struck. The oth-
er fellow endured' hurdles
and hardship to have a brief
moment with a few fish. The
scenarios depicted the high
moments with a fish but ne-
glected all the time necessary
to be there w hen it happened.
Will the little boy remember
dragging out of bed early, the
hour, long boat ride, the cap-.
tains' name, the bait used,
.ete? Probably not. He will
remember the moment with
the fish for the rest of.'is life.
'What is a fijh qL.t..orth?
Your life and those lives with
you! The same. person that
counts calories. cholesterol,
and/or carbs, doesn't smoke
or drink, drives the speed
limit, makes .sure their,child
is in a car safety seat, is wor-
ried when a loved one is on
the road late a night, etc can
be the same person that ig-
nores the dark clouds, turbu-
lent seas, preventative main-
tenance and "expensive"
safety equipment and takes a
huge risk to catch, a stupid
fish. If a little voice in your
head sounds off a warning
whisper; pay attention to it.
There is no fish swimming
worth enidanlgeting yourself
and others. If conditions
aren't right, go golfing. I do.
