:MANAGING EDITOR
SMany of the more than 100-
taxpayers who packed the
Bronson courthouse Monday
night thought they were be-
ing thrown a bone when the
county commissioners rolled
back the millage rate but not
enough to satisy them.
For more than two hours,
the county commissioners
heard their constituents plead
for not only reduced millage,
but mercy on their property
valuations.
Many of the taxpayers
were in agreement that if any
reduction in the millage rate
.were'to ever occur, this would
be the year because the coun-
ty is in solid fiscal shape.
Prior to the public com-
ments, Deputy Clerk Sheila
Rees announced the tenta-
tive millage at 9 mills. That
amount would generate 43.8
percent more taxes than last
year.
That number outraged
many of the citizens, who
asked what' kind of business
runs with that much of an an-
nual increase.
Commissioner Tony Park-
er assured the citizens that
the county commission has
no influence over their prop-
erty appraisals and reminded
them that land sales have
driven prices upward over the
last several years.
"The only way we can
help you is lower the millage
rate," Parker said, adding the
problem with lowering the
rate could mean a reduction
in' the services that growth
mandates.
Parker said he anticipated
property values decreasing
in the future and that would
mean less money for the
county.
He 'and Commissioner
Sammy Yearty, who served
as chairman in Nancy Bell's
absence, explained just what
services were anticipated.
Among them are new ambu-
lances, which will require 12
new employees, more money
for the sheriff's department
and communications, a new
courtroom and other capital
outlay projects.
Yearty also noted the coun-
ty would subsidize the water
and fire departments, as well
as the library.
Parker recommended the
county consider a millage
rate of 7.9 mills. He said that
would help alleviate some of
the tax burden on people who
received higher property val-
uations.

Eeny, Meeny,
miney, moe, to
whom should the
mayoral seat go?
BY CASSIE JOURNIGAN
STAFF WRITER
Mayoral and vice mayor nominations were among new
agenda items on Monday's Chiefland city commission
meeting as commissioners passed around the mayoral title
likethe proverbial hot potato.
Alice, Monyei made the first motion, nominating Betty
CWalker to the position. That motion failed two to three, with
Rollins Hudson, Teresa Barron and Teal Pomeroy opposing.
The next motion placed Hudson in the mayoral seat, but it
died for lack of a second.
The next motion failing to receive a second was made
by Hudson moving that Pomeroy be mayor. Pomeroy then
motioned and received a second by Monyei that Monyei
be mayor. This motion failed three to two. Pomeroy then
motioned that Barron remain mayor. Although Hudson noted,
"I think she's had way too much criticism," that motion to
failed to receive a second.
Hudson then moved that Walker receive the mayoral mantle.
That move was seconded by Monyei and passed three to two,
with Pomeroy and Barron opposing.
Pomeroy then motioned that Hudson. be appointed vice
mayor. Barron seconded the nomination. That vote passed
four to one, with Hudson voicing the one no vote.
Other items discussed or voted on included:
Oath of office administered to recently re-elected
commissioners Barron and Pomeroy.
Voting unanimous approval of purchasing a John Deere
tractor to replace a 1968 model.
Heard from Mayor Walker that the city "does have a
permit for the EMS building."

Log Cabin Quilters met
Thursday, Sept. 7 at the Levy
County QuiltMuseum. What
a great day with the most
wonderful rain; never heavy,
just a slow rain that you could
almost see the grass and
plants saying "thank you."
It is so good to have Marie
back with us to help in the
kitchen and other places.
Some time it's, great.to get
away from other things and
come to our quiet place and
really relax.
Greg and five boys were
out Tuesday and got so much
done. They always make the
place look so good and we do
appreciate all they do;
We will be at Law
Appreciation Night Sept.
21 at the Usher Center and
we will have an officer from
Lancaster there to be honored.
Come out and see how much
all of the men and women do
for you every day. What a bad
place it would be if we didn't
have these people working
for us.
Before we know it, it will
be quilt show time. We start
Nov. 24 and run until Dec. 3.
More about it as time goes
by.
Lunch was so good today;
rice, creamed corn, okra
and tomatoes, cheese and

Coastal cleanup slated for Saturday
More than three quarters
of a million people will de-
scend on beaches all over the
world on Saturday, Sept.J16
to help tackle the problem
of marine debris during The
Ocean Conservancy's 22nd
Annual International Coastal
Cleanup.
Volunteers around the
world will help to clean up
the mess that we have left
behind while enjoying the
beach. Trash has made its
way from inland to wind up
on our beaches.
In 2005, 450,00 volunteers
removed 8.2 million pounds
of debris from 18,000 miles
of coasts spanning 74 dif-
ferent nations. In Florida,
25,090 volunteers collected
585,378 pounds of trash from
our coastlines.
While marine debris can
be found in all of the world's
oceans, the problem does
not necessarily start there.
Close to 80 percent of the
debris found on the beaches
is washed, blown or dumped
from shore. Most people do
not realize that trash travels.
Marine debris has a damag-
ing and often lethal impact on
birds and marine animals.
The cleanup may be global

Vaccination clinic planned
Adelia Vachon, AARP
Advocacy Coordinator, and
Mignon Craig, president of
Williston AARP Chapter 912,
announce a Flu, Pneumonia
and Tetanus Shot Clinic on
Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. at the Fellowship Hall
of the United Methodist
Church at 213 W. Noble Ave.,
Williston. Maxim Health
Systems, LLC, of Ocala will
be administering the shots.
Maxim will directly .bill
Medicare Part B for the flu
and pneumonia injections
for all Medicare clients who
bring a picture identification
and their Medicare card.
Medicare will not pay
for tetanus shots. Maxim
cannot bill Medicaid or other
health insurance companies
but will issue a receipt,
which can be submitted for
reimbursement.
With all of the cuts and
scraps many older persons get,
paying for a tetanus booster
is a pretty good investment,
since it is only needed every
10 years unless a serious
injury occurs. Flu shots are an
annual event because of the
changes in the virus, which
causes flu. It is recommended
that a pneumonia shot be
repeated in five years, but this
is changed frequently by the
U.S. Communicable Disease
Department.
Cost of a flu shot is $25,
pneumonia vaccination is $40
and a tetanus shot costs $30.
Appointments will be made
at half-hour intervals with 40
being made for each time, so
please, come at' the specific
time of your appointment to
shorten waiting time.
An appointment can be
made by calling Adelia
Vachon at 528-5024 except
on Sept. 25, 26, 27 and 28
when you may call 528-
5977. In the past two years
morning appointments have
filled quickly. Leave your

OUR VIEW
i-
Prove to me how great it is
To the editor:
* Lately I have been bearing how great our economy is
doing. Jobs have been created, it looks like everything
is coming up roses. Well, if.this is true, I believe every
newspaper in the United States should publish a list of the
jobs and wonderful opportunities that are available to the
most wonderful, the greatest young men and women this
world has ever known. I am speaking of the young men and
women returning from Iraq and the Bush war.
God only knows just like past veterans they have truly
earned and deserve a piece of the American Dream. I only
hope and pray they receive it before the illegal immigrants.
William J. Franklin
Bronson
Do unto others
To the editor:
Let's say you live in a residential community and the
property owner next to you (who has no intention of residing
on his land) plans to build a structure capable of holding
200 persons at a time, has showers, has potential sleeping
quarters, and has a kitchen.
Or let's say you live in one of the houses along 1 and 1/2
miles of side rbads that lead to this structure.
If you're like many of the residents in Fox Grove Farms
and in Shamrock Acres, subdivisions in Morriston where this
has occurred, you are probably not very happy with this land
owner.
I have to admit that when I, a home owner in Fox Grove
Farms, first heard that the pastor of the Living Waters Life
Center, located off of HWY 121, planned to build a "church"
at the end of our subdivision, I wasn't overly concerned.
Other than a "little extra traffic", what harm would there be
in having a church in the neighborhood? Even after a phone
conversation with-the pastor and a neighborhood meeting
that included the pastor and his wife, I wasn't convinced
that a church, retreat house, community center, mission or
whatever it's called, is such a bad thing.
But the more I discussed this witihmy neighbors and the
more I thought about it was the more I saw the harm in
having this 2 story metal structure in our neighborhood. First
of all, with a seating capacity of 200 persons, there will be
more than a "little extra traffic". For starters, there will be
an increase of traffic AT LEAST four times a week (to and
from Sunday and Wednesday services). And then of course if
services are added and/or other activities held, our normally
sleepy side streets will be very busy. This will have an
impact on the safety of the neighborhood children and horse
riders who frequent our roads. Besides safety concerns, there
will b e'xcegsiVe dtisnalong with w ar and tefr bn our difrt'
roads.
The building use is another cause for concern. From
talking to the pastor on the phone and listening to him at the
neighborhood meeting, it is my understanding that his intent
for using those classrooms/sleeping quarters, and kitchen
is not yet clearly defined. Is this facility going to be used
for retreats, drug rehab, bible study, a troubled teen house,
revivals.or what? To say the least, the vagueness for use of'
this 5000 or so square foot building is unsettling.
Many of the folks that moved to this area did so for peace
and quiet. And many of us can't help thinking that a regular
parade of cars passing our houses along with whatever
sounds are created by a large assembly of people will take
away the very reason we chose to live here. I do not doubt
that there are people who benefit from Living Waters Living
Center but I question that it has to be done at the expense of
others.
I appreciate all the hard work that the folks in Fox Grove
Farms and Shamrock Acres are doing to ensure that our
rights as home owners in these deed restricted communities
are protected. While I will move forward with them in this
effort, I also invite the pastor of Living Water Life Center
and his supporters to ask themselves how they would feel
if someone planned to build a similar structure down the
street from, or better yet, right next door to them. And if they
would feel the slightest reservation to this, then I hope and
pray that they will embrace the passage "do unto others as
you would have done unto yourself' and rethink the location
of their ministry.

Journalism is my calling and my passion
Unlike most journal-
ists I know, there
was never any
light bulbs going off inside
my head when I decided
I wanted to be journalist.
However, somewhere
between the ages of six and
eight I began to fall in love
with the idea telling the story
of real events and important
information affected the au-
dience that reads my words.
My name is Neal Fisher
and I am proud to be a jour-
nalist. I think it is an honor-
able and noble profession
when done right. Along the
way I lost my way, but six
years ago, I realized our- '
nalism wasn't just a love or
something that I thought was
interesting, it is my passion
and calling in life.
Everyone has a purpose to
fulfill in this life and while
I have yet to discover the
purpose in its totality I am
to serve, journalism is the
vehicle by which I am>to
complete it.
The passion I have for
telling the public the story of
the issues that affect them is
more than something I enjoy.
To me it is a way of life and
its culture is the means by
which I have come to hold
the values and beliefs I hold
dear.
While I have spent a
lifetime pursuing a career in
journalism, the same can be
said of my passion for auto
racing and entertainment.
Hooked
On May 25, 1975, the
night before I turnedsix
years old, I saw my first
race, what was then known
as the World 600 and was
immediately hooked. Of
course, back in those days
the national networks only
televised segments of the
More prestigious races, I
don't remember what chan-
nel televised the race or even
what time it was, but I will
always remember the feel-
ing I had when I flipped the
channel with the race on.
My father was not around
often and I felt I had finally
----------
[SPORTSJ
found a group of men and a
fraternity whose atmosphere
was what I needed and
"desired: 'Tholi' en' bbcatrie
my role models. To.me they
were what a man should be,
both good and bad. A few
minutes after I began to feel
the-comfort that comes with
knowing a person has found
his place, the announcers
spotlighted Dale Earnhardt,
who was making his first
start in stock car's top cir-
cuit.
I was immediately attract-
ed to him'as a role model
and so was born a life long
admiration and appreciation
for the man who through his
public celebrity would come
to have the biggest influence
on me during my forma-
tive years. While he was a
nobody at the time, strug-
gling just to find his place
in life, his demeanor and the
look in his eye instilled in,
me a confidence that one day
he would be somebody and
could provide an inspiring
example.
I know many fans of NAS-
CAR nation had their issues
with the "man in black"
during his heyday, but I was
inspired by his determina-
tion to achieve his goal of
becoming a champion'racer.
and his relentless pursuit
of it as well as his steadfast
perseverance to be the best at
whatever he tried. Because
of this, he grew into a man
who was respected and his
opinions were cherished as a
racer, businessman, husband,
father and friend. He was
not per-
NEAL FISHER fect, but
the per-
U son who I
Columnist saw at the
time of
his death
was a
man who
had learned and grown from
his mistakes. He was proof
that when a family believes
in the man of the house, a''
..person has a keen-eye for
what is going on around him
and. with hard work, one
can pick himself up by the
bootstraps and rise above his
beginnings.
Inspiration
As much as Earnhardt's
life has been an inspiration to
me his colleagues also hold
a place in my heart. Men
whose last name are Wal-
trip, Allison, Petty, Pearson,
Baker, Yarborough, Unser,
Andretti, Mears and Foyt
have also given me the cour-
age to overcome obstacles,
refuse to give up, learn from
my mistakes, avoid taking
the easy way out of difficult
situations (many of which
were not of my doing) and
follow a career in the com-
petitive field ofjournalism.
In fact, if there ever was a
case for the karma thing my
birth is it. My mother went
into labor during the 1969
Indianapolis 500, which was
eventually won by Mario
Andretti.
Much like Earnhardt, as
I have grown older I have
evolved into a man with
many other interests. While
journalism and racing will
never be replaced at the top
of my list of significant influ- .
ences in my life, because of ,b
what they meant to me when
I was a child, many other
people have given me in-
spiration'in my teenage and
adult years. Among them are
Shania Twain, Nolan Ryan,
Mark Messier and more
recently Danica Patrick, Rick
Hendricks and Jerry Bruck- (
heimer.
On May 25, 1977 Stars :
Wars was released and
much like the first time I
saw a race, I was attracted
to the idea of being an actor,
producer and director. With
Darth Vader's first appear-
''ance, clanmor&ig thibotgh the-''
rock concert like fog and
smoke while his laboring
breathing gave off the eerie
, villainous feeling we have all (?
come to love, the same as-
surance that this was where
I belonged developed in the
pit of my stomach. While
it took almost 25 years, ,
I decided to act upon the sen-
sation a few years ago and
have been in several movies
as well as several events at
Universal Studios.
Born and raised in the big
city of Detroit, Mich., the
last thing I expected was
to work for a community
newspaper in Levy County.
However, the wheels of fate
kept me in Orlando for most
of the '90s, because I was
pursuing a degree at the Uni-.
versity of Central Florida.
After my graduation I began
training for a career in the
federal government's foreign
affairs department, but five
years ago I realized it wasn't
for me. I-did not feel it was
where I belonged. After
several months of consider-
ing my future, I came to the
conclusion journalism and
acting was where I belonged.

Chamber fears tax assessments
will hurt area businesses
BY CASSIE JOURNIGAN
STAFF WRITER
Tax assessments and
their resulting potential
increases that could
severelyaffecttheresources
of both homeowners and
small businesses in Levy
County was the main topic
of the Bronson Chamber
of Commerce meeting
Thursday, Sept. 6.
Tax assessment,
statements mailed out
to homeowners contain
three significant columns:.
column one shows property
taxes paid last year and
column three shows taxes
if no budget change is
made.
"Please pay attention to
column two," Chairman
President Bob Levesque
warned.
"It's a potential tax
increase. Be frightened by
it ifyou must-know where
your taxes could be."
Levesque said his
propertytaxeshadincreased
dramatically, and that the
newly assessed value was
based on a nearby property
that was both on a paved
road and had access to a
state forest.
He stated that
assessments are made
according to recently sold
properties within a few
mile radius.
"Homeowners need to be
aware of what their values are
and to request market value
decreases if the numbers
don't seem right."
Levesque challenged
his and has received a new
assessment he believes, is
more in line with the actual
value of his property.
"You need to act fast,"
Levesque continued, "since
the deadline for challenging
your assessment is Sept. 18.
If the new assessments are
passed, they will be much
more difficult to challenge
down the road."
Other topics discussed
during the September meeting
included:
The chamber is hosting
a yard sale Sat., Sept. 23
beginning at 7 a.m. in the
Affordable Solutions parking
lot. Space is available for
businesses ($25 per table) and
individuals ($15 per table).
Levy County Business
Expo will be held Nov. 11
and 12 in conjunction with
the Williston Home Show
Expo.
A motorcycle event, the
"Ride to Provide" to benefit
the Levy County Association
for Retarded Citizens. The
ride will begin at Nature
Coast Financial in Williston
at 9:30 a.m. and run through
Levy and Marion Counties.
The ride will end up at Bell's
Restaurant in Chiefland
where a BBQ dinner will
be available for $10. For
more information contact
Sean Mullins at 558-4102
or Mitchell Arnold at 577-
4241.
The chamber's ongoing
"Buy Local" campaign. The
group is currently working
on a one-page newsletter
that will be available free
at local businesses. The
newsletter will contain
display ads for chamber
businesses and other.local
businesses that purchase
them, and will contain
interesting area trivia.
Area teacher Ivonne Diaz
also spoke to the group
about ongoing activities at
area high schools. Students
from Chiefland and
Williston High Schools are
practicing for the United
States Decathlon (USAD),
a nationwide academic
competition. This is the
first time Florida will send
a team to the competition.
Only four teams are being
formed in Florida; two of
them are from Levy County
and the other teams are
from Brevard County. The
state competition will be
Feb. 7 9 in Orlando. The
national competition will
be held in Hawaii in April
2007.
Bomb threat delays bus travelers

Levy County Public Li-
brary System provides story-
time at all of our branches.
Please check with your local
branch library for its sched-
ule, and bring your child or
group to us or arrange a time
at your facility for a great
interactive experience with

WHAT IS STORY-
TIME?
Storytimes are 30 to 45
minutes of fun learning ac-
tivities, designed for pre-
schoolers. Each session may
include books, songs, pup-
pets, short films.
WHY DO WE HAVE
STORYTIME?.
Research has proven that
when children are introduced
to books at an early age,
developmental patterns of
reading form and continue
throughout life. Our experi-
ence confirms that preschool-
ers not only enjoy reading
and listening, but also sharing
what they have learned with
others. Children benefit from
the sessions by broadening
their vocabulary, listening
skills, and the ability to share
experiences with children of
their own age level.
10 GOOD REASONS
TO BRING YOUR
CHILDREN) TO STO-
RYTIME:
1. Enhances children's lis-
tening skills.
2. Introduces childrento a
wide variety of experiences.
3. Helps prepare children
for learning to read.
4. Improves and enrich-
es the quality of children's
lives.

Playing the hand you're dealt
y oT. ........ .. .. ..... r
New GALs
; m uD etU > S u i f ., f, ~ ; ,.
Back in school they
used to call me
f Flicktity. I don't
know where they got it, but
it just seemed to fit.
The Sheffield Unabridged
would define it: Flicktity:
Someone coordinationally
challenged. Someone un-
swooft. It's just these big
feet: size 14. They cause me
to run like a punch-drunk
Ronald McDonald with a
bad rash.
My football coach never
knew what to do with me. I
wanted to play running back.
SHe saw me run and yelled,
"Come back!" I weighed a
Sbuck fifty and couldn't keep
up with the lineman.
SAs most flicktity folks
do, I eventually found my
way to slow pitch softball.
Yet even there my feet just
seemed to stick out.
Most teams would be
J nice to me openly, but it
Swas awfully suspicious how
I was always the one who
ended up with the outdated
schedule and the wrong color
jersey.
Naturally I was a little
wary when a team called me
to come fill in recently. Had
They forgotten how many
triple plays I had hit into?
But then I thought, "Ah
who cares? Maybe it's time
Sold Flicktity came out of
Retirement anyway. I've been
Swedged in behind this desk
too long." Besides, I'd have
a whole week to get back in
shape.
Game day soon arrived
and along about the third
inning I finally swaggered up
to the batter's box.
I cleaned my cleats, spit,
scratched real good, and did
everything else cool I knew
to do just short of calling my
Shot.
At that point nobody
; could have guessed the
Truth; my only chance of not
getting thrown out at first
was to hit it out of the park.
This was
forefront
in my
mind
as the
pitcher
wafted
that
first big
grapefruit
down the
pike.
I took a cut that would've
made the Mighty Casey
blush. The wind shear
alone blew off the pitcher's:
hat. Unfortunately I had
swung several seconds early
and I fear I may have not
actually hit the ball until
my backswing. The pitcher
charged the little dribbler,
gathered up his hat, fixed his
hair, and was ready to toss
the ball to first before I could
stumble across home plate.
I knew both people in
the stands were probably
watching me so I decided to
be a good sport and.run it on
out. At least I could show
them that a Sheffield never
quits. In fact they used to
tell me, "Flicktity, you never
know when to quit."
Unfortunately there
seemed to be some sort of
mix up in my central nervous
system. I'm sure my brain
was sending out running
instructions, but my legs and
arms seemed to be receiving
fighting signals.
I commenced whooping
the air like a one man gang
until I was almost back
peddling. Somewhere along
the line I cleated a guy over
by the dugout with my right
foot and almost tripped over
the pitcher's mound with my
left.
When the dust finally
cleared I stood huffing on the
bag, looking to the umpire
for the call. He wasn't
paying me no mind; he had
his eye on the next batter
who was already working a
full count.
BUT ANYWAY
I
Guy E. Sheffield
I admit the temptation has
been to look into some sort
of foot reduction surgery.
Or maybe join a Flicktities
Anonymous. I'm sure there's
one out there.
But the more I thought
about it the more I realized
that it's just time I put my
foot down, and without
shame.
You see, it's God who
made me like this and He
likes me just the way I am.
To the praise of the glory
of his grace, wherein he
hath made us accepted in
the beloved. Ephesians
1:6. He didn't want me to
be like everybody else. My
fingerprints and DNA are'
proof of it! You know what?
I'm an original, sculpted by.
the Master Himself. I think
I'll just start celebrating my
un-swooftness.
But anyway, we've all
been dealt a different foot, I
mean hand. We all have our
strengths to play to and our
weaknesses to overcome.
The best thing we can
do is to just be a good sport
and run it on out. We're just
people.
There's only one perfect
One, the Lord Jesus, and
He wants us to find our
fulfillment in Him. I may be
Flicktity, but these are the
feet the Lord has made and
I will rejoice and be glad in
them.

Haven Hospice gets grant
Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET)
and the Aetna Foundation
have awarded Haven Hospice
a $50,000 grant in support of
its Health Care Disparities
Project.
Part of a new Compassion-
ate Care (SM) Program, the
grant furthers Aetna's and the
Aetna's Foundation's com-
mitment to empower Ameri-
cans to make well-informed
decisions about their health
care, including the care they
receive at the end of life.
"Everybody deals with end
of life issues," said Haven
Hospice Executive Director,
Tim Bowen. "This grant is a
leap forward for Haven Hos-
pice in our ability to provide
the best end of life care for
everyone we serve."
The grant will help Haven
Hospice research and ad-
dress the racial and ethnic
disparities regarding access
to end-of-life and palliative
care. Part of the grant will
include three 30-minute tele-
vision programs exploring
this topic in-depth. The pro-
grams will air on WJCT-TV
during November, December
and January and then be com-
piled into a 90-minute special
to be aired in February during
Black History Month.
"Working to build healthy
communities, Aetna and the
Aetna Foundation are ad-
dressing racial and ethnic dis-
parities in health care," said
Marilda L. Gandara, Presi-
dent of the Aetna Foundation.
"For six years, the Regional
Community Health Grants
Program has been a major
part of that effort by funding
programs that improve under-
standing of racial and cultural
diversity, and provide access
to quality health care."
Under the year-long grant,
Haven Hospice also will fo-
cus on educating health care
professionals and caregivers
on the barriers African Amer-
icans and Hispanic popula-
tions meet when accessing
end-of-life care. This portion
of the grant will be executed
in an innovative "train the
trainer" approach that utilizes
key community partnerships.

S ept. 11, 2006 dawned bright and clear, not
unlike that unforgettable date five years ago.
A breeze cooled the 100 or so people who
gathered in Cedar Key City Park Monday at
8:45 to remember those whose lives were lost on that
terrible day in 2001. The.memorial service was spon-
sored'by the Cedar Key Lions and a memory box was
begun for those wishing to leave their thoughts and
prayers.
The service opened with the raising and lowering to
half-staff of the flag by the Marine Corps League, Tri-
County Detachment 1018.
The ceremony was marked by a series of ones: no
one spoke except the lone Marine caller singing out
orders in a formal, clear voice. Nine Marines answered
his calls as one.
Carolanne Kellin sang the National Anthem, subdued
and a cappella.
SPsalm 33:12 was read by David Binkley, pastor of
Cedar Key Church of Christ.
John Howell of the Marine Honor Guard blew Taps.
The 89-year-old had just lost his wife Sunday.
Bill Siemon worked a solitary "Amazing Grace" on
bagpipe.
And then the bell tolling began, one peel for each
victim of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Reinstated employees get'satisfaction
BY CASSIE JOURNIGAN
STAFF WRITER
Reinstatement agreements
between the city of Chiefland
and three recently, rehired
city employees caused much
debate during Monday's city
commission meeting.
Attorneys representing
Mary Ellzey, Bill Hammond
and Shane Keene, who were
reinstated Aug. 28 after being
fired by former city manager
Rodney Russ Aug. 14, drew
up the agreements.
Commissioners questioned
agreement items including
the employees' requests for
reimbursement for attorney
fees and other costs resulting
from their terminations.
They requested the
reimbursements take the
form of annual leave. They
also sought renewal of the
unpaid portion of sick leave
that remained after the
terminations.
Ellzey requested the
city to reimburse her with
85 hours annual leave for
$1,667 in attorney fees and
costs; Hammond requested
78.5 hours annual leave to
compensate for $1,670; and
Keene asked for 86.5 hours
for his $1,667 attorney fees.
Since back pay was
not mentioned in the
reinstatement agreements,
Commissioner Teresa Barron
asked whether that would be
a part of the reinstatement and
was informed by interim city
manager Maxie Beauchamp
that it would.
Each employee was out a
total of nine days, and would
be owed gross payments in
the amounts of $1,411.88
for Ellzey, $1,533.16 for
Hammond and $1,391.71 for
Keene.
Commissioner Teal
Pomeroy raised concerns
about the attorney bills-
whether they had been
submitted to the city or if
outstanding attorney fees
remained.
He also said, "I wouldn't
have a problem with this if
they (employees) had gone
through the process (for
reconsideration of terminated
employees) in the employee
manual. But the process was
thwarted."
SLocal resident Mary
Golding made a similar
comment, saying, "They
opted for an attorney before
going through the process."
Unpaid sick leave
discussions also occurred,
with commissioner Rollin
Hudson stating a problem
with the cost to the city.
Interim city manager
Maxie Beauchamp objected
with the statement "It was not
their (terminated employees)
fault they were terminated."
Pomeroy disagreed, saying
if there was fault, it was not
known.
Commissioner Alice
Monyei stated the opinion
that if the employees were
not reinstated, the city would
have ended up paying a lot
more.
City attorney Norm Fugate
objected to clause 5 in the
agreement, a promise relating
to the original terminations..
According to the clause, the
employees would not bring
further action on the city in
connection with the firings
provided that the city cease
any further activity against
the employees as a result of
events that originally led to
the terminations.
Monyei placed the move
to accept the agreements
on the floor and Pomeroy
seconded it. Commissioner
Rollin Hudson stated, "I am
not totally against this but
really don't like paying extra
attorney fees.'
Several commissioners,
were ready to put the entire
chapter behind them. Hudson
said he was reluctant but
seconded the earlier motion
to accept the reinstatement
agreements. Fugate reiterated
being uncomfortable with
clause 5.
Barron wanted to "let
bygones be bygones."
Pomeroy moved to amend
the original motion by
approving the agreements
after striking clause 5.
Commissioner Betty
Walker thought "no one
was going to do anything,"
implying that even though
the clause contained a
loophole for the employees
to eventually hold the. city
responsible in some way, they
weren't likely to do that.
Mary Golding countered,
?If rio one is going to do
anything, then why not just
strike 5?"
Pomeroy rescinded
his. motion to amend the
agreement.
When Barron questioned
Fugate as to whether he
was comfortable or not,
he answered, "If the city
understands (clause 5) and
moving forward is what you
want...I think this is as good
as it's going to get."
The subsequent vote to
accept the reinstatement
agreements in the form
submitted passed three to two,
with Barron and Pomeroy
opposing.

Since then I hav' worked as a freelance journalist.
Along with my aysat the boarding school I attended
during my teenag ears, my move to Florida 17 years ago

rare opportunities community newspapers present.
While my travels and moves have given me the opportu-

for the loyalty are the offerings of Levy County, such as
hunting and fishing. So as I embark on a new era of my

Over the next several months, the Journal will be ex-
panding its coverage df Levy County with a new sports
section. The Journal's coverage will include traditional
as well as non-traditional coverage of Levy County's
sports scene. Coverage of the three high schools we
cover, Williston, Bronson and Chiefland as well as the
county's favorite leisure and recreational activities will
be introduced on a gradual, but steady basis. There will
also be some new material not usually printed in com-
munity newspapers. Please feel free to let us know what
Syou think of the section, make,any suggestions or simply ,
Scomment oti any sportsisssue. fMyhope is that by taking
this direction, the Journal can produce a sports section
and a paper that has the flair of our big city brethren,
while conveying and displaying the small town charm
Levy County has.

Suwannee Valley
Veterinarian Clinic
Small Business Award
winner Suwannee Valley
Veterinarian Clinic has
provided medical care to
dogs and cats and their
owners for nearly four
decades. Veterinarian David
Meeks began the business in
1969. His son-in-law, David
Renaid, now runs it. The
clinic moved into new offices
this past February.
Although the patients may
not pay too much attention to
their surroundings, pet owners
surely must notice the waiting
room and lobby-with its
ceramic tile floors, curved
wood counter and granite top,
curved glass brick interior
wall, and framed photographs
of Old Florida. The back
rooms feature examining
room, surgery.and ICU.
The clinic is home for
five cats and they wander
the lobby and offices with
freedom. Receptionist Safari
Fontaine explained that two
live out front, in the waiting
room area, and three stay in
the back with the veterinarians
and their assistants.
"Lily has one good eye.
She lives out here with us,
as does our three-legged cat
named Lucky," said Fontaine.
"Umpy D is nearly blind
from an eye disease, so he
lives here too, in the back."
Fifteen-year-old Umpy D
shares quarters with Oscar
and Olivia.
Renaud is assisted by
veterinarians JenniferMcHale
and Kathy Bowker. Renaud
has been a vet 15 years.
"I had a fascination with
medicine since I was a
young child, and I grew up
on a farm. I've been around
animals all my life." He's
also well versed in the rearing
of children. He has two teen-
aged sons and one daughter.
"Of all my children, it is my
10-year-old Eliza who wants
to be a vet."

Refuge
's
Jason Coates heads to Louisiana
The Lower Suwannee
National Wildlife Refuge
said farewell to Forestry
Technician Jason Coates as
he heads out for his new life
in Louisiana.
Coates begins work as a
fire engineering equipment
operator at the Southeast
Louisiana National Wildlife
Refuge Complex. Being
employed federally offers
him the opportunity to move
anywhere he qualifies to work.
for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service or any other federal
agency.
Coates started at the Lower
Suwannee & Cedar Keys
refuges over three years ago
as a temporary employee.
After four months on the job,
he became a career seasonal.
His first major project was
building needed spillways
throughout the 53,000-acre
refuge. When he began
assisting the heavy equipment
operators, they described him
as a "natural" when it came
to spreading, grading and
working with a variety of
heavy equipment.
Coates served time on
wildfires in the western
mountains and later,
hurricarie-relief duty after the
2004 and 2005 hurricanes.
He' was requested for road
construction details by
Merritt Island and other
National Wildlife Refuges in
the south.
In Louisiana they had
already heard how well
Coates works with front-
end loaders, tractor plows,
excavators, bulldozers and
marsh masters. With this
experience under his belt, his
specialty for the nine refuges
in the Complex will be
operating heavy equipment
developed for firefighting.
"Influencing young
peoples' lives for the better
and acting as a mentor was
very meaningful," said
Coates. "I wanted them to
know that I would be there
for them."
Coates served as the
supervisor for the Youth
Conservation Corps (YCC)
during his time at Lower
Suwannee and always looked
forward to working with
the upcoming generation.
Knowing teens need guidance
and patience while learning
the diversity of their summer
job, he tried to keep the job
enjoyable.
After long hot projects, he
would treat the YCC to a tour
behind the gates or field trips
to other refuges.
Youth Conservation Corps
(YCC) students joined the
refuge staff for a send-
off dinner. "I'm attending
forestry classes, but couldn't
miss wishing Jason the best
as this adventure of his life
begins," said Josh Reiter,
former YCC.
REPAIRING ROADS after hurricanes became Jason Coates' specialty.

All that glitters is not gold

CORRESPONDENT
On a moonlit night to my
delight, near breakers by
the shore I spied the most
wondrous thing that I have
never seen before .In gold
and silver glitter, it sparkled
and it shined.
I hurried up to see the
thing that I had come to find.
And as I had gotten closer
my joy had turned to fright.
The wondrous site turned
out to be a dead mullet in
moonlight.
All that looks like treasure
should have a closer look.

town. The first to receive a new flag was Ace Hardware.
That flag was purchased when tiny customer Justin Wal-

He mentioned this fact to his mother, who contacted Ace
Hardware. Justin and his mother were invited to participate
in Saturday's service.
VFW and Marine Corps honor guard raised the second

Luck o' the Irish takes Red Devils down
BY NEAL FISHER
SPORTS WRITER
Despite rebounding from
a horrible start to finish 5-
2 last year, the Red Devils'
nation circled this year's
game against Ocala Trinity
Christian when the 2006
schedule was released.
With their 39-point loss last
year to the Celtics still fresh
in their memories, a victory
over the state's number one
ranked and class 2B defending
champions would have gone a
long way in proving they are
indeed among the top teams
in class 3A.
And for three periods,
the Red Dogs did just that,
standing toe to toe with the
champions, taking their best
shots and dishing out their
own variety of blows, but
when the Celtics got their
second wind late in the third
period, and put together
a furious combination of
punches in the final period, it
was enough for them to weld
together a 28-10 victory.
"It was a testament to how
the kids played and their
attitude," head coach Jamie
Baker said. "To be able
to play with the defending
champs and a team that
might be the best team we
play all year will definitely
gave us confidence heading
into district action. It was a
game that doesn't have any
bearing on us getting into the
playoffs. So, it was a good
test and while it showed we
still need to work on some
things, we are definitely on
the right road and have made
a lot of progress."
Even though they lacked
the experience and size of
Trinity, the Red Devils were
hanging tough, trailing by a
slim 14-10 margin midway
through the third quarter.
Using its speed and the
atmosphere of a community
eager to prove their team has
come a long way since last
year, the Red Devils disrupted
enough of Trinity's offense
and read a sufficient enough
amount of the Celtics' offense
to minimize the damage of

Jiwan James had also negated
star wideout Dion Lecorn's
skills.
Williston had also made
several big plays on defense,
ending various opportunities
for the visitors to score and
putting their team in the
position to pull off the upset.
However, the visitors made
several defensive adjustments
at halftime, which stymied
the Red Devils' offense in
the second half. And with
8:10 remaining in the third
quarter, Trinity took over
the ball at their own 17. For
the first time in the game
they mounted an assault of
consecutive plays, consisting
of good offensive timing and
rhythm.
An eight-yard pass
completion, followed by a
four yard run by Derrick
Dempsey netted a first
down for Ocala. Then a
31-yard jaunt by Dempsey
and a subsequent five-yard

and regain some of the
momentum back, Rodrigo
Quezada's field goal attempt
on the first play of the fourth
quarter was blocked.
Taking over the ball
following the blocked field
goal, Ocala used the well-
timed pass and play action to
compliment a running game
that was taking its physical
toll on Williston's defense.
The Red Devils' offense
watched helplessly as Ocala's
offense gained several first
downs and chewed up almost
six minutes of the remaining
time. When the Red Devils
finally regained possession
of the ball, it was at their ten-
yard line and they needed
to score twice within six
minutes.
Williston drew first
blood. Following a Celtics'
fumble on the first play from
scrimmage, the Red Devils
scored on the next play when
running back Travis Evans
bolted around the right end for
a 36-yard touchdown run. He
scampered to the outside and
ran down the sideline to give
the Red Devils a 7-0 lead, 24
seconds into the game.
The Celtics drove to the
Red Devils' 4-yard line before
King Quinn's interception
off of a tipped pass in the
end zone kept them off the
scoreboard. However, with
4:45 left in the first quarter,
they tied the score at 7-7 with
a 34-yard Brantley to Nelson
touchdown pass, which
followed the Celtics' sack of
Devin Timmons on third and
short.
The Red Devils regained
the lead at 10-7 on a 47-yard
Quezada field goal, which
began at the opponents'
44 yard-line, following a
partially blocked Ocala punt
in the end zone. The Celtics
took the lead for good when,
"Bf~itlefy connected with
Nelson for the second time,
this time for 15-yards in front
of the field goal.
Running by committee,
the home team's multiple
set offense gained 158 yards
rushing, but was able to net
only 34 yards in the second
half.
Timmons completed five
of 14 passes for 60. Todd
Brown caught four passes for
61 yards.
Brantley finished an
unspectacular 8-of-17 for
110 yards, but his three
touchdowns, were a primary
reason for the lost.
While Williston contained
Lecorn, they could not put
the brakes on Nelson, who
caught three touchdowns.
And, with starting tailback
Rudell Small out with a foot
injury, Dempsey and Chris
Allen gained 240 yards
combined on the ground.
The final margin ofvictory
came when Allen slashed
through Williston's defense
for a 45-yard touchdown run
with less than a minute to
play.
"It was a tough, hard
fought ball game," Baker said.
"They just simply had more
depth, which allowed them to
control the ball in the second
half and outlast us. But we
did move the ball this year,
gained some yardage, earned
13 first downs and scored ten
points. We didn't do any of
those things last year. This
year, we came up with some
big plays when we forced
two turnovers in the opening
minutes, which set the tone.
-Perhaps most importantly.
we held them to under thirty
points. In the end, they just
had too much depth. For
example, they had three wide
receivers over 6'3". Holding
one or two wide receivers is
possible, but three players
over 6'3" is difficult for any
team."

FAMU plucks Eagles'
tail feathers 31-7
BY NEAL FISHER
SPORTS WRITER
After a third straight loss,
this time 31-7 to FAMU,
player and community alike
might feel indifferent towards
the team, but the Bronson
Eagles season is more than
scores and wins and losses.
"We played a real athletic
ball club and the score
reflects that," head coach
Greg Brochetti said. "But we
made some more progress and
their team is getting better.
We need to cut down,on the
mistakes, but we are a young
team and that is expected.
"We played real hard and
that is what we have to keep
doing," Brochetti said. "The
fact that we scored in the
closing minutes, while being
so far behind, on a kick return
is a good sign. It means we
are learning how to play and
our efforts will start to make
some of these plays more
productive."
Unfortunately for the
Bronson community, there
wasn't much suspense to the
outcome of the game. FAMU
ran with the ball from the
beginning and didn't have
to use any sort of a passing
game. Jonathon Ferrell and
Greg Watson carried the load
for FAMU as the Eagles were
clearly out manned and failed
to match their talent and
athleticism.
Ferrell opened the scoring
on a four-yard trot. Watson
followed with his own
specialty, a long distance
strike from 38 yards away.
The duo put the game away
in the third period when
they struck again with new
methods. This time Watson
scored first with a 25-yard
bolt and Ferrell, not to be
outdone, made the score a 28-
point bulge with a 28 yard-
fumble return.
The Eagles gave it 'their
best shot, but the final
statistics also showed they
were outclassed athletically.
Bronson's multiple set offense
gained 89 total yards, while
giving up 278 yards to the
visitors. On the other hand,
there was a ray of promise as
they earned more first downs
than FAMU.
Watson scored the visitors'
final score on a 37 yard run
in the fourth. William Harris
gave the Eagles their lone
score and allowed them to
avoid the shutout with a 75-
yard return on the kickoff.
"I realize it might not look
like much, but the kids are
playing really hard and they
aren't giving up," Brochetti
said.
"That is what improve-
ment is-the foundation im-
provement. We only have
one senior and most of our
guys haven't lettered, so once
we start getting some funda-
mentals down, we will have
the nucleus of an experienced
group of guys. Scores like
this one should start to be-
come fewer," Brochetti said.
"They are the best of group
of athletes since I've been
here. The right attitude and
work ethic will go a long way
inbuildingthosefundamentals
and the beginning of winning.
Despite losing, the kids
kept trying and had a great
attitude during the game.
They genuinely care. They
could have given up during-
the game, but they didn't and
I am proud of them. Even
in a loss like this, we. keep
leaining." -. -
The Eagles will play their
third straight home game next

Turnover
BY NEAL FISHER
SPORTS WRITER
It is no secret that while a
team can amass large amounts
of yardage, if they fail to
hold onto the ball victory is
unlikely and Chiefland's
25-14 loss last Friday to
Hamilton County was
proof positive of it.
"We played well and
really did all the things
a team needs to do, but
we just had too many
turnovers and gave up too
many plays to win," Head
Coach Bobby Rast said.
"We had a 31-16
minute advantage on time
of possession, earned 19
first downs to their 9 and
they were only 4-12 on
third down conversions,
but we loss two fumbles,
put it on the ground four
times and gave up a two big
plays when the score was 6-
6 and 12-6. That was pretty
much the difference and why
they won."
Two big plays turned the
tide of the game and put
Hamilton in a commanding
position heading into the
fourth quarter. A 63-yard
run with just less than four
minutes left by Hamilton
gave them a first and goal
at the Indians two-yard line.
Mitchell punched the. ball
over the goal line on the next
play.
A 61 yard strike from
Battles to Sowell with 11:41
left in the third quarter made
.rs scalp
the score 19-6 in favor of
Hamilton County. The
visitors took over possession
of the ball when they
recovered a Chiefland fumble
on the opening drive of the
.second half. The score came
on the very next play after the
fumble recovery.
With the Indians' inability
to hold onto the ball and
avoid giving up the big
play to Hamilton, the teams
exchanged possession of the
ball until the fourth quarter.
Hamilton struck again in the
fourth quarter to make the
lead a three-touchdown bulge
with only 6:12 remaining in
the game. Morris got loose
for a 26-yard jaunt into the
touchdown. It capped off
another lightning like drive.
This one was a 3 play drive
that covered 73 yards and
made the score 25-6.
The Indians scores came in
the first and fourth quarters.
Indians
They tied the score with
one minute left in the first
quarter on Isaac Hardee's
3-yard run. His run ended
an impressive 8-play, 75-
yard drive and answered
Hamilton's touchdown
after they took a 6-0 lead.
Chiefland also scored
the final touchdown to
S make the final deficit 11
points. Hardee ran the
ball in from the two-yard
line and the two-point
conversion was good.
"We are better than we
were when ,we played
our first game, but we
are not where we need to
be," Rast said. "It's not
a lack of effort. They
guys are playing hard
and we are compiling
some good stats. We only
had to punt twice, so we were
able to move the ball.
"We have .a lack of
concentration and need to start
focusing more on avoiding
those plays that kill teams.
We gave up two fumbles
and two interceptions. It is
really hard to overcome four
fumbles and' we wasted two
other plays when we had to
recover our own fumbles.
Those type of plays negate.
our big plays."
Hardee rushed for 90 yards
and scored two touchdowns.
Hamilton County's Michael
Durr ran for 106 yards.
Chiefland opens district play
against Union County next
week on the road.

Commissioner Sammy

At that point several people

SAY WE NEED a hospital? Many people want it for convenient access to
emergency health care, but some are looking forward to new employment
possibilities. Frank Schupp, of Health Development and Associates, the
company working to bring the Ameris Health Systems project to Chiefland,
said, "The sign was only put up this morning and I've already had three
phone calls for job interviews." Schupp and realtor Jim King stand to the
left of the sign, and property owners Tommy and Lois Livingston are to the
right. The 20-acre parcel is located behind the Wal-Mart Super-Center.
in the room," someone said.
"Shut up and let me tell
you something," Yearty said.
"Promise me you'll behave.
Somebody's going to be in
trouble if we don't behave."
At one point he threatened to
cancel the hearing.
County Coordinator Fred
Moody was asked to call 911
for backup. Finally order was
restored with Yearty giving
the folks another chance to
stay in the courtroom as long
as they were respectful and
courteous.
At last the vote was taken
to keep EMS assessments at
$75.
When the hearing for roads
came up, emotions once
again ran high as one person
after the other talked about
dust from the limerock roads
and the health repercussions
it had.
Special assessments for
Suncoast Estates ($113.22)
and Ocala Highlands West
($33.64) were proposed but
after a long session of public
comment, the commissioners
voted to not pass a resolution
for the collection of those two
assessments.
The decision came after
several residents in both de-
velopments said they didn't
need any more limerock
which would in turn cause
more dust;
The commissioners tried to
explain that this assessment
would ensure regular main-
Residents would have none
of it. Several said they had as-
sumed responsibility for the
care of the roads themselves
while others wanted asphalt
or nothing.
Many talked about emphy-
sema, asthma and other lung
conditions that are exacerbat-
ed by the dusty roads.
Concern for the elderly
and the very young was men-
tioned again and again.
Commissioner Lilly Rooks
asked if the citizens were
willing to pay for the roads to
be paved--to the tune of about
$2,658 per property owner.
Others complained about
idle road crews, inadequate
work and improper mainte-
nance.
Bruce Greenlee, Road Ad-
ministrative Superintendent,
stood at the ending of the
hearing segnient.
Greenlee said much ofwhat
he heard Tuesday night was
heard for the first time. Most
of the problems and concerns
had not been brought before
him, he said.
"When I get a call at the
road department," :Greenlee
said, "I respond. I'm standing
up in defense of me because
I know I've done what I sup-
posed to do."
Lastly, the hearing on fire
assessments was held and RV
park owners were smiling af-
ter the formula was redone to
allot the average square foot
per unit to 191 feet, compared
The owner of BK Cypress
in Bronson said her taxes
would be some $6,000 a year.
That coupled with tangible
taxes and real estate taxes
would mean almost $25,000
annually paid to Levy Coun-
ty.
She chastised the commis-
sioners for their 1.1 mill de-
crease Monday night, calling
it miniscule.
As a business owner, she
said she understood budgets
and also knew you cannot say
yes to all your employees.
She told the commissioners
the increase was too much ai
once.
"This tax is like a dagger,"
she said.
Commissioner Tony Park-
er said the commission was
trying to be business friendly
and .the millage reduction
would help offset the assess-
ments.
"1.1 mills is unaccept-
able," she said. "I don't know
it saved me any money," she
continued, adding she was
simply paying in another cat-
egory.
Owners of deer camps,
pole barns and empty build-
ings also called.the fire as-
sessments unfair and asked
the commissioners to evalu-
ate their situations.
The residential fire assess-
ment was set at $37 per struc-
ture. A complete list of as-
sessments will be published
next week.
.VONlayor Continued from front
Heard public comment
relating to placing .of
anonymous letters of
complaint against city
employees in employee files.
Resident Tony Crews stated
he thought employees should
have the right to know who
made the complaints, and that
letters should not be placed in
employee files without having
been investigated. He was
advised by city attorney Norm
Fugate that state law requires
that all correspondence
received by a municipality be
kept as public records.
Heard about Law
Enforcement Day activities
(Sept. 21 at Tommy Usher
Center) in a letter from
Barbara Lunsford.
Heard resident Stoney
Smith's request to allow
him to continue his normal
business once the involuntary
annexation takes effect.
Smith's business includes
sales of liquor,
which is
prohibited on
Sundayswithin
city limits. The
commission
entertained
MAYOR a motion to
BETTIYWALKER allow existing
businesses to
continue with Sunday liquor
sales. This item will need
passage of an ordinance
after coming back for two
readings.
SHeard discussion by
Pomeroy and Walker to fix
a sinkhole behind Chiefland
Farm Supply. Pomeroy
motioned that the road 'be
fixed and that updates be
added as a regular agenda
items so the commission
could remain informed of
progress. His motion was
seconded by Walker and met
unanimous approval.
Pomeroy also brought up
the hold-ups to development
progress being made within
city limits. He said certain
improvements already made
by developers benefit the city,
and that these projects present
"the city with a chance to get
something done." He moved
that a joint meeting be called
between commissioners
and the city planning
board to discuss upcoming
developments. After Hudson
seconded his motion, it
received unanimous passage.
Heard a request by a
resident to reduce sewer
fees on a bill after water
accidentally was left running
while the residents were
out of town. Resident Tony
Crews pointed out that if this
request were granted, more
Residents could come forward
and ask for sewer reductions
since water used outside, for
example, to wash cars and
to water lawns, also was not
burdening the sewer system.
He also stated that since the
water customers had admitted
to leaving the water on, they
should bear the responsibility.
Commissioners granted the
reduction request.
Mayor Walker mentioned
a $650,000 grant that the
city, has that is currently at a
stopping point. "I'm anxious
to get some things done, get
the city cleaned up; get the
annexation moving again."
Discussed the process
to hire a new city manager.
Commissioners agreed to use
the process currently in place,
but to shorten the timeframe
for listing the advertisement
from two months to six weeks,
and to add a job listing on the
city's website.
Unanimously accepted
a proclamation setting aside
the week of Oct. 15 as White
Cane Week. This supports
efforts for the blind by Lions
Clubmembers.
Gave unanimous approval
to Library Director Bonnie
Tollefson's renewal of the
interlocal library agreement.

JUDGE SMITH swears in newly reflected Chiefland
commissioners Teresa Barron and Teal Pomeroy.
lrax
was the first citizen to take the floor. He told the commission-
ers that regular people cannot afford the new valuations and
the increased taxes. He said appealing assessments was "an
exercise in futility."
He encouraged the commissioners to reduce the millage
by 3 mills and countered Parker's claim by saying property
values will not decrease over the years, but they could flatten
out.
Bibby also warned that Nancy Bell barely got re-elected
and soon there would be three other commissioners seeking
office.
Yearty was not happy and told Bibby, "We're not here to be
threatened by a vote."
"I thought I had a right to speak," Bibby said.
Yearty confirmed he did and allowed Bibby to continue
with his urging to get an economic development plan in place
to expand the tax base and take some of the burden off indi-
viduals.
Yearty reminded him there is a council in place but Bibby
said it wasn't doing anything-there were no new businesses,
no new jobs and no one is living better.
"None of us has gotten a 43 percent increase lately," Bibby
said.
Others including Shellie Downs, Howard Walker, Marty
Williams, Harry Hopwood and Jack Donnell followed Bibby,
each asking for relief.
Jennie Pinto, a Cedar Key resident, pleaded for equity in
appraisals and urged the commissioner to direct the property
appraiser to treat everyone the same.
Pinto alleged that Cedar Key property values are not in line
with other areas.
She said when she asked.Francis Akins, the property ap-
praiser, for a form to appeal the value to the Value Adjustment
Board, she was told he could not give her one without first
consulting with the county commissioners.
County Coordinator Fred Moddy said Commissioner Lilly
Rooks had asked that those forms be available Monday night
for disgruntled property owners, but Akins did not think it
was a good idea.
Moody also noted that Akins has not shown himself at a tax-
payer meeting in Cedar Key nor the meeting Monday night.
The commissioners again stressed to the group they cannot
control constitutional officers and/told the residents how to
appeal their valuations. i
Jerry Lawrence ofCedar'Key again asked the commission-
ers to lower the mileage more. If the millage were reduced
more, it \would still mean a 26 percent increase over last year
he said. "Why not be satisfied with 10 percent?" Lawrence
asked.
Parker told Law\rence and the others the county has had a
series of workshops:for weeks and the tentative budget has
been available as well.
"It's easy for you 'to say cut it 3 mills," he said, "and get
a hand clap. but I have to ensure we can provide services. I.
don't know how to gi\ e you the money back and still provide
services," Parker finished.
On a motion by Parker and a second by Danny Stevens,
who did not speak during the hearing, the commissioners
unanimously agreed to set the tentative millage at 7.9 mills.
Cries of "Lower" filled the room, as well as catcalls aimed
at the commissioners;
"Why did you vote?" A voice called out.
"This was a waste of our time," said another.
"You had your minds made up before we came here," still
another called as more than 75 percent of the group walked
out.
Continuedfromfront
Yearty called for order and threatened removal by a deputy
if order wasn't restored.
Following a recess where Rees reconfigured the new mill-
age rate and when the meeting reconvened, the commission-
ers unanimously approved a tentative budget of $77,891,819,
which includes all monies channeled through the county
(grants, fees, forfeitures etc), not just ad valorem taxes.
The commissioners will meet again Sept. 25 to adopt a final
budget and millage rate.
Copies of the budget, at more than 100 pages, are available
for public inspection.
Last year's budget was $57.2 million, Which means the
county budgeted almost $20 million more this year.
