osmtal Patients *
Church groups and service clubs
in Levy, County are being- asked
this year to help brighten the Ch¬
ristmas Season for long-term pa¬
tients at the Southwest Florida-
Tuberculosis Hospital in Tampa.
Mrs. Teresa McFail, Program Ad
ministrator for the Gulf Coast Tu

project to provide gifts for two
hundred of the patients at the state
hospital.
Many of the patients would re

¡Levy communities. Contributions.

Americans have long been accustomed to turning on the
faucet for a glass of fresh water without worry. The supply
was taken for granted. But times have changed. Water pol¬
lution has become a growing national problem.
The job of pollution control is a gigantic
one. It calls for the support of every citizen.
President Kennedy summed it up this way on
July 20, 1961: “Only through an intensified
attack by our communities, our states, and by
the national government can we make real
progress on this most vital national problem.â€
President Johnson has served notice that this
nation cannot afford to spoil its water resources.
The American people today use 3 55 billion gal¬
lons every day. By the year 2000 the nation

will need a trillion gallons daily.
Congress lias authorized and
President Johnson has directed
implementation of legislation
that:
• Broadens and strengthens
the Federal government’s anti¬
pollution enforcement powers.
• Lays the basis for a greatly
stepped-up program of waste
treatment works construction.
• Authori^s'increased Fed-
adf of state and inSer-
>11 u tion control pro-
- rrovides more funds for
research to come up with more
effective pollution control
methods.
What has happened? Why
has water pollution become a
problem?
The answer is simply that a
new kind of environment has
been created in the last 20
years. At least a half million
new chemical compounds have
come into existence. We manu¬
facture them, use them, dis¬
charge them into our rivers and
streams, dump them on the
ground and let them seep into
our underground water supply.
And then, days or months or
years later we drink them.
Some of these chemical, sub¬
stances come out of our kitchens
and washing machines at home.
Housewives each year pour bil¬
lions of pounds of detergents,
bleaches, arid powders down the
drain. Eventually these chem¬
icals find - their way into the
nearest waterway.
Others of me new chemical
substances come from the farm¬
lands. Every rainfall washes
fertilizers, herbicides, and pesti¬
cides off the crops and fields and
into the streams and rivers.
Then there are the factories
that are continually dumping
new substances into our waters
while processing billions of
pounds of chemical products
each year.
The most disturbing thing
about these new substances is
that nature can’t handle them
as efficiently as she handles
human waste and other impuri¬
ties of natural origin. Fish,
plants, bacteria,, and other liv¬
ing organisms in water can, in
time, break down any impurity
and use it as food. But for
many of the man-made com¬
pounds, there seems to be no
organism that can give us a
helping hand.
This is not a problem that.
can be solved overnight. "We
have a vast amount of practical
knowledge about pollution con- .
trol, but well over 5,000 towns
and over 6,000 industries today
still lack adequate sewage-
treatment and waste-treatment
facilities. Many have none at
all.
The Surgeon General of the
United States has declared he
sees no reason, scientific or eco¬
nomic, why we cannot protect
our water supplies as we now
protect our food. "Our civili-
£tion which has worked so
many miracles,†he observed,
"can surely protect itself against
its own poisons.â€
’ • How you can receive
a check signed by Uncle Sam
twice a year
When you buy an H Bond
you can be sure of receiv¬
ing your first interest check
in six months—and every
six months till maturity.
Every year the U.S. Treas¬
ury mails out more than
314 million interest checks
worth $149 million to the
folks holding Series H
Bonds.
Why buy Series H Bonds?
H Bonds are especially
good if you’re living on a
retirement income or want
to invest for current in¬
come.
•If you own E Bonds ypu
can trade them for H
Bonds at anytime. (A nice
feature of trading is you
don’t have to pay tax on
the accumulated E Bond
interest until your new H
Bonds mature or are
cashed.)]
Guaranteed growth.
Your Bond money now
earns 3%% interest held
to maturity. Your money
can’t be lost because Uncle
Sam replaces destroyed
Bonds. And you can get
your money with interest
anytime you want it.
Every Savings Bond you
buy is a share in a stronger
America. Why not ask
your banker for all the de¬
tails?

by the Chicago Symphony Or- poultry program, he hopes to
chestra are part of the mem-
à ones two Levy County 4-H Club
j members and two other 4-H’ers
from Citrus and Orange Coun-
i ties have been sharing with
schoolmates since their return
«from the 43rd National 4-H
i Club Congress held recently at
j the Conrad Hilton Hotel.
James Arrington, 15, the son
I of Mr. and Mrs. Carrel Arring-
’ ton, Trenton, won an expense-
paid triff to the Congress as
| state winner in the 4-H tractor
program, while Tommy And-
I rews, 17, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Andrews, Chiefland,
took top state honors with his
poultry project.
Outstanding work in the
health program brought a state
award to Miss Jennice Hair, 16,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Hair, Inverness. Miss Viv¬
ian York, 18, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Donald York, 1825
Rose Blvd., Orlando, won her
trip to Chicago as state winrier
in the home economics pro¬
gram.
All programs fall under the
supervision of the Cooperative
Extension Service. '
Arrington has consistently
won awards for his tractor proj¬
ects throughout the five years
he has participated in the pro¬
gram. His poultry and swine
projects also have taken a num¬
ber of top honors. The earnings
from these and other 4-H proj¬
ects have been earmarked for a
college education to help pre¬
pare him for a career in agri¬
culture.
Arrington’s parents also take
an active interest in 4-H work,
serving as adult leaders of the
local club in which he is en¬
rolled. The American Oil Foun¬
dation sponsored his trip to the
congress.
Heisdorf & Nelson Farms,
pursue a career in poultry
science.
Finding a suitable location
for his chickens and building
pens for them took much of
Andrews’ time during his first
poultry project four years ago.
At the Florida State Fair last
year, he almost made a clean
sweep in the 4-H poultry divi¬
sion by copping eight blue rib¬
bons including awards for the
best cock bird, best hen, best
pullet, best bird in show and
the best exhibit.
Work in the County health
department and as a candy
striper in the local hospital has
given depth to Miss Hair’s ac-.
tivities in the health project. It
also has influenced her decision
to seek a career in the medical
field. She was the guest of Eli
Lilly and Company in Chicago.
Other projects undertaken by
Miss Hair, such as foods,, have
been closely linked to the health
program. She also has been ac¬
tive in recreation and crafts
and makes many of he^own
clothes.
Outstanding work in many of
these same projects—clothing,
foods, home improvement—and.
others earned a trip to the con¬
gress for Miss York, state win¬
ner in the home economics pro¬
gram. Montgomery Ward was
the sponsor.
The sweet taste of success
was long in coming for Miss.
York. A freshman this year- at
Florida State University and a
veteran of nine years of 4-H
work, she won second place in
the state home economics con¬
test in 1962 and was the first
runner-up in 1963. Hard work
and patience brought the long-
sought prize this year.
During her senior year at
Lakeview High School, Miss
York served as hom^ econom¬
ics assistant teaching several
classes.

proof of accomplishing much.â€
it is not .through anxious
haste that oné accomplishes the
most. It is the calm action
based on trust in divine Love’s
ever-present guidance that is
effective; It is the poise of hu¬
mility, not the pressure of
pride, that leads to achieve¬
ment. It is the stability that
springs from obedience to
God’s will, not the frantic push
of self will, which guides to
success.
Trust, humility, obedience to
God, are vital to the overcom
ing of thoughtless haste. In
Bible we read (Isaiah 28:16),
“He that believeth shall not
make haste.†When fear would
^precipitate hurry, the truth of
God’s ever-present control qui¬
ets thought.
God carries out His purpose
in orderly unfoldment of good.
Man in God’s image reflects the
certainty of. the uninterrupted
action of good, and the realiza¬
tion of this fact enables us to
move calmly and fearlessly.
trust in God’s
government leads away from
the anxieties which would im¬
pel haste, whether one is dash¬
ing to an appointment or push¬
ing to meet a deadline. Clear
understanding of God’s unfail¬
ing direction enables one to
meet deadlines without anxious
haste, to reach appointments
promptly without frantic flurry.
Christ Jesus set us an exam¬
ple of calrp, trusting action
which was effective and imme¬
diate, but not hurried, impetu¬
ous, bustling. He healed calmly
and instantaneously. He was
jwhere he needed to be at
the right hour. He did not a-
chieve this through rushing but
through his understanding of
the ever-presence of God-gov¬
erned action.
Is it pride with the desire for
personal approval which push¬
es one at a frantic pace, impell¬
ing tense competition? If so, let
one turn to the fact that divine
Mind is th# source of man’s
ability. One gains humility
through obedience to the Masr
ter’s admonition (Matthew 5:-
16), “Let your light so shine
before men, that they may see
your good works, and glorify
your Father which is in heav¬
en.†If it is pride that brings
hurry and tension, it is vital to
glorify God in all we do, to
know that mairts the reflection,
not the source, of good. Ii is
God/ v&fi is causing all right

Watching for your
child's drug usage signs
Hi, everyone and
welcome to the
Sheriff's. Corner.
This week's corner will re-
turn to the topic of drug abuse
and our children.
So far we've talked about
communication and how im-
portant a good relationship
with your child or children
is. But we know that as our
children grow into preteens
and teens, mood swings and
unpredictable behavior are
frequent occurrences. Spot-
ting alcohol and drug abuse
becomes difficult.
So let's talk about some of
the signs your child might ex-
hibit if they were starting to
abuse drugs.
Your child might become
withdrawn, depressed, tired
and careless about personal
grooming. Your child might
become hostile and unco-
operative, even frequently
breaking curfew. The rela-
tionship you've been working
on can deteriorate. Your child
may start hanging around
with a new group of friends.
Also possible is a grades' de-
crease in school. Attendance
may also become a problem.
r Another pos-
sible sign may
be a loss if in-
terest in hob-
bies, sports and
other favorite
activities.
Physical
JOHNNY signs might in-
SMITH clude a change in
eating and sleep-
ing patterns. Up
all night and sleeping during
the day may be witnessed.
Your child's eyes may be red-
rimmed and/or their nose is
runny even if they don't have
a cold. Your child may have a
hard time concentrating. And
household money may be
disappearing.
In addition, pipes, roll-
ing papers, small medicine
bottles, eye drops and butane
lighters may now be in your
house.
If any of these indicators
show up, parents should start
discussing what steps to take
so they can present a united
front. More next week. Take
care.
Johnny Smith is the Levy
County Sheriff.

*Each year we give our son's teachers gift certificates to a
nearby coffee shop. Flybaby in Holland Landing
*Teachers LOVE a note from a parent that for once isn't
complaining about something. Take a few minutes and
"thank" the people who work so hard to give your children
the best education possible! Frankfort, Ky.
*Take the time to write your clergyperson a note saying
how much his or her ministry means to you. As a pastor's
wife I can tell you that this means more to us than anything
you could buy. We have saved all the thoughtful letters and
cards we have received over the years and reread them often,
especially when we need a "lift". From Maine
*For over 20 years my DH has been giving "Cashew
halves" in 9 oz. tins. When we were married (13 years, thank
you very much) I joined him in delivering. Now that we
have kids the delivery of the nuts has become a family tradi-
tion on Chist as Eve., ...
We pile'all.-fur.kids (now ages 11,;9, 7 and 6) into the
van. Then we wrap them (the cashew tins- lol) in shiny silver
mylar liquor bags found in liquor stores around the holidays.
Next, we make a hole-punch into our family photo and tie
it with a pretty ribbon around the opening of the silver bag.
This becomes our christmas gift to many, many friends,
neighbors, teachers, service workers (mail carrier, garbage,
etc.). It's quite inexpensive (approx. $2.50) because we buy
the 60 to 70 cans when they're on sale in October. And we
save postage because we don't have to mail as many Christ-
mas photo cards. We have worked out a route and we sing
Christmas songs as we drive. The kids love taking turns run-
ning up to the door and ringing the bell. We wave and shout,
"Merry Christmas," wait for the kid to get back into the van
(lol), then drive off. If they're not home we leave the nuts on
the door step. People know we're nuts, and I like the idea it's
not clutter for them. Flying Mary Poppins in St. Paul
*When my boys were toddlers, 'several of our friends had
toddlers the same age. We had a Christmas party as a gift
to our FRIENDS. They got two hours of free time to wrap
gifts, go shopping, reconnect with each other, or whatever,
while we entertained the children. We had very simple
games (pin the nose on Rudolph), reindeer games (running
and leaping), and a little craft project. Afterward we invited
the. parents over for chili and enjoyed their company. This
was a favorite tradition when our children were younger.
- Flybaby in Georgia
*As a teacher I can tell you, we would love classroom
supplies! Either ask what we are running low on or buy a
little goodie bag of the basics. Tissues, pencils, paper, glue,
scissors, erasers, tape, notecards, etc. We will love you for it.
Flying in Virginia
*A collection of beautiful stickers, if they use them to mo-
tivate the children. That way they don't have to spend a dime
on such an.item, and it spares them a trip to the store.
For my children' teachers, at the end of the school year
I give them a card telling them that I have made a donation ,
to the school library for the purchase of more books and
have each child write them a letter saying how this teacher
has helped them learn and grow. When my children were
younger they felt these were not "real gifts" as they were not
tangible, so I then would include something that could be
used up like a candle or bouquet. My father taught post-sec-
Continue from page 4
ondary and received many, many bottles of wine over the
years, and as a non-drinker he was able to bless others he
knew would be more appreciative.
Being a primary school teacher, I have received a lot of
mugs, beauty products, photo frames, chocolates...the list
could go on. A lot of these are recycled as presents to others.
The best gift I ever received as a teacher was a voucher. My
voucher was for a book store as I love books. However a
department store voucher would also be a great idea. This
way the teacher can purchase something they like and need.
Rather than adding another mug to their already' cluttered
cupboards. Australian Flybaby
*For my two tenant farmers who are brothers, one item
I am going to give to each of them is a container of dispos-
able tar and bug wipes. They can use the wipes on the farm
equipment or the pickups. There is no need to give them
anything td'll*hect y~ ijn their h6iies. Hbosier Farm Fly-
, baby (in-Indiana)a -.. .. ..
*For teachers: a movie coupon (or for the real special one:
the booklet which has two tickets for free admission and
a bucket of popcorn). So very often, the teacher has been
working at a hectic pace since the beginning of school year
to the holidays. This is a little bit of luxury for them which
doesn't clutter their classroom or home. Instead, they have a
few hours of fun during a busy time.
And this year I know we are making a donation to the
local Habitat for Humanity office for our relatives but you
could specialize your donation in many ways. Just get cre-
ative: for somebody you know with cancer it could be to the
American Cancer Society, or if they have diabetes it could
be to the American Diabetes Association. And local food
banks would always appreciate donations and since every-
body eats it's the perfect clutter free gift for anyone!
I have decluttered myself and made holiday presents all
based on one plant. This plant (called a prayer plant) throws
off babies, which I had never clipped. Having these babies
hanging off the plant is actually unhealthy for the plant. So
I clipped the babies as part of superfling boogie week (there
were 27, amazingly enough...). I got the potting soil from
an old bag in the garage, plus a pile from the yard. I used
flower pots from old, dead plants that I had been saving for
no reason. I have the newly potted ones all assembled on an
old washing machine tray (the under-machine thingie) on
the deck. Now I have a ton of clutter recycled into very nice
little presents! Fluttering in North Carolina
*I make Pampering Packs. In a cellophane bag I put a
tealight, a bath bead or bath bomb, a pack of matches, and a
few individually wrapped chocolates. Attached with ribbons
are the directions: Light the candle; lock the door. Drop bath
bead into warm bath. Get into bath, eat chocolates. Result:
complete relaxation. Serves one. They're very inexpensive
to make, and they get used up in one night, guilt free. Cana-
dian FlyBaby in Montreal, Quebec
*For teachers: a gift certificate to a teaching supply store.
Or supplies for the classroom. To get specific ideas for
what's needed, simply volunteer in the classroom (to see
what's there) and talk to the teachers) (to find out what's
needed/desired).
*Another idea for teachers: a gift certificate to a spa/salon
so they can have a pampering session.

LOCAL AUTHORITIES are investigating graffiti
vandalism that occurred in the Rosewood com-
munity in the night hours of Dec. 7. Several signs
for at least a mile were spray painted with racial
slurs and vulgarities. By noon Friday, most prop-
erty owners along the way had either covered or
removed the signage. The sign above is behind
a fence several yards off the highway and on pri-
vate property. Calls to the Levy County Sheriff's
Office were not immediately returned.

Other studies point to a correlation between peaceful
urban neighborhoods and plenty of trees. Trees draw
people out-of-doors. Once outside, people interact with -
their neighbors. People with strong neighborhood ties are
healthier-physically and mentally.
Levy County and its environs have acre after acre of
green space. I only hope our elected representatives-and we
the people-work to maintain the natural beauty that is our
portion of the Nature Coast.

Feral cat neutering program needs money
Job Well Done
CEDAR KEY-An all-volunteer staff is committed to hu-
manely putting a stop to the overpopulation of feral cats on
the island of Cedar Key.
At this time the group relies completely on the support of
Cedar Key citizens, business owners and tourists for fund-
ing.
Veterinary assistance is provided by River City Commu-
nity Animal Hospital, a 501C-3 non-profit organization offer-
ing reduced fee mobile spay and neuter service for feral cats.
RCCAH (www.rccah.org) will visit Cedar Key monthly and
requires a minimum of 35 cats to be neutered per trip.
Levy County Humane Society, a 501C-3 Non-Profit Orga-
nization, provided the group with 20 new feral cat traps ex-
pressly for the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) project and will
also be providing much needed assistance each month with
the pre-and post-surgery preparations and recovery.
Phase One of Operation Cedar Key began in October with
the guidance of Cats Angels, Inc SPCA of Fernandina Beach
and the veterinary and volunteer group of Operation Catnip
in Gainesville.
A total of 47 feral cats were trapped from the areas of Dock
Street, First Street, corer of First & G and Whiddon/HWY
24. An additional 12 kittens were removed off island for adop-
tion. Phase Two was recently completed with the assistance.of
Cats Angels and RCCAH.
A total of 33 cats were neutered/spayed and 11 kittens tak-

en off island for adoption. Areas of capture were scattered
throughout Dock Street, First Street, 6th & 7th along G Street,
Lions Club building, Gulf Blvd., Paroda, E. Point Road and
the cemetery.
Cedar Key is well on its way to taking responsibility and
educating the public on how to care for feral cat overpopula-
tion through humane TNR programs. To date 80 free-roaming
cats have been successfully neutered/spayed and 23 kittens
were removed to a No Kill Shelter for adoption.
The volunteer group seeks approximately $1,700 per month,
estimating 20 females at $50 each and 20 males at $35 each.
Check donations should be made .out to: River City Com-
munity Animal Hospital and write 'Operation Cedar Key Fe-
ral Cats on the check. Drop off at the Faraway Inn on Third
and G Street or mail to Faraway Inn, P.O. Box 370, Cedar
Key, FL 32625-0370.
Phase Three of our TNR program will begin on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday Jan. 10-12, 2007. Trapping of the
feral cats will be done on Wednesday and Thursday, surgeries
will be performed on Friday and cats released late Saturday to
their original place of capture.
If you have questions, would like to volunteer, want infor-
mation on how to start your own community TNR program

Go paddle your canoe (or
kayak) at Manatee Springs
December marks the
beginning of Manatee
Springs State Park winter
paddling program. Every
Friday at 8:30 a.m., the park
offers a guided canoe/kayak
trip on the spring run and
out into the Suwannee River.
December also is the time of
year park visitors can expect
to see manatees returning
from other areas of the Gulf
Coast seeking refuge from
the colder waters of the Gulf
of Mexico.
"For park visitors, the
milder temperatures of winter
offer relief from the humidity
and insects often encountered
in the summer," says Sally
Lieb, park manager. "The
water of the Suwannee River
is often clearer in the winter
making it an ideal opportunity
a to seemanatees as you paddle
the river," Lieb added.
Participants should have

SIt's big alright," Angie said to the real estate lady. It
was her weak attempt to find a positive.
As her husband, I knew too well Angie didn't
really want to be wearing that smile.
Sure enough, as soon as the agent turned her back, it
molded into a glare, aimed at me. I guess I deserved it. Even
the real estate lady didn't seem too thrilled about driving
way out here for this eye sore.
: The agent led us out onto the back deck where she tried
to spin a dilapidated pier on a dried up lake into a stunning
view.
"Be careful near that rail," she warned, "Wouldn't want
you to fall over." She stomped her high heel, "The flooring
still seems good though."
SUnfortunately her stomp awakened a wasp nest. We
made a mad dash back inside where that same heel caught
in some peeling linoleum and sent her sprawling across the
floor most un-lady- like. Scrambling to her feet she quickly
gathered her books and what was left of her composure.
"Well," she managed, "I think I'll give you two a chance
io look around. I'll.be in my car."
As she wobbled off I shrugged, "Now, Angie, this house
has more square feet for the money than any other house in
the listings. It's just a fixer upper."
She cocked her head, "A fixer upper? The grass is four
feet tall out there." She inched into the living room like she
might be expecting to find a family of bears hibernating
thbre. "I do like this crown molding though," she admitted,
"and that rock fireplace."
It was crazy. For every negative the old place did offer
some hint of redemption. It was huge and the expandable
area upstairs was large enough to land a crop duster. The lot

they started
dumping old
tires in it.
Finding
our original
trail, we
came out at
the road and
the agent
lady rolled
down her
window about an inch.
"What'd you think?" she asked.
"It's big," Angie smiled. "We'll give you a call."
It's always been hard for me to walk away from a scrap
heap. Growing up monetarily challenged you are just sort
of conditioned to the fact that any diamonds-you find will
probably need a little polishing.
I cut my teeth pestering pawn shops, fleecing flea markets,
and grazing garage sales, so even as we drove back towards
the paved roads I couldn't help picturing the possibilities
for that old house. It was within our budget and all I would
have to do is learn some light carpentry, roofing, dry wall,
and electrical skills and we'd be ready to move in within a
couple of months.
The next day I began to pray that God would give us the
place. I even tried to persuade Angie to stay with me if I
made an offer on it.
"-'-Whdfi PWdM cohViided'she w6ildT'c&llFd'the real estate''
lady. No answer. I called again, no answer. None of my
messages were being returned either.
I was getting really upset until I ran into an old friend and
for nothing
told him about the place. He looked at me like I was stupid.
"Dude," he said, "That's like the worst drug neighborhood
in the state. They call it crack alley." He went on to describe
it with a little too much detail. "Wow," I admitted, "I was
about to move my family there."
You know sometimes I hear people complaining because
they think their prayers were not answered the way they
wanted. Then I hear others gossiping about how it was
because they didn't have enough faith. It can all get a
little silly. Maybe their prayers got answered according to
Romans 8:28?
I don't know about you, but the more I grow in the Lord
the more I'm glad that sometimes my prayers don't get
answered. If they did I would have gotten divorced and
re-married at least ten times in the sixth grade alone! How
would you like to live in "The World According to Guy"? I
don't think so.
When my children gripe about my answer to a request
it really doesn't lead me to think they are having faith in
me as a dad. I wonder how our heavenly Father feels. Of
all people, shouldn't we trust that He knows best? Don't
misunderstand me. I'm not saying don't pray. I'm saying
pray harder, and listen longer. Determine to study the Bible
and learn how to pray according to God's will for your
situation. Jesus prayed, "Father, if you are willing, please
take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your
will, not mine." Luke 22:42 NLT.
But anyway, if you're that real estate lady, I'd just like to
say it was very rude of you not to return my calls. "Thanks!"

Upsets mark women's golf tourney
BY NEAL FISHER T. ... _-. to:.. tournament as she took Patsy Sheppard. B
SPORT WRITER in another step towards her goal tournament's 10th s
tThe Chiefland Women's .-of making her way through a one-hole lead after
Golf Association's annual the waters of the loser's Baker was another
handicap tournament move
into its middle stages as 12
golfers continued to press on
in their pursuit of adding to
their list of holiday cheer a
prestigious title.
Once again, with the change
to a double elimination and
match play format, when the
dew from the greens melted,
four more women were
eliminated from play.
"This is a tournament that
gives the mid handicappers
and the higher ones a chance
to win," Marilee Leonard, the
association's president, said.
"It makes the field equal
even before we step onto the
course and it is even unusual
at times for the higher seeds
to win."
After the winners' bracket
was shaved from eight golfers
to four competitors in the
previous round, the women
who found themselves on the
short side of the scorecard
were matched up with the
participants already fighting
for survival in the loser's
bracket.
The result was once again
a grocery list of surprises and
close matches that made the
tournament an exciting arid
eventful affair.
The built-in disadvantage
for the lower handicappers
came to fruition for number
one seed Barbara Ahola.
After winning her first round
match in convincing fashion
she was summarily dismissed,
from the tournament with two
consecutive losses.
KEEP YOUR HEAD down and look for the sweet spot. That's what these
ladies of the Chielfand Women's Golf Association practice during tour-
ney play.
In the winner's bracket, she
succumbed to Pat Renaud's
crushing consistency and
then found herself in a match
with another lower seed who
was playing her steadiest and
finest golf of the year.
Although she parlayed an
impressive round of 88, it
was no match for the llth
seeded Arma Beauchamp
who dropped over 11 strokes
off her average score in this
particular match.
With the upstart raising
the quality of her game, she
made sure she advanced as
she forced the tournament's
number one seed to cut at
least one stroke off of her
average score on over half of
the holes. Beauchamp won
by four holes.
In suffering her second
consecutive defeat, Ahola ran
into another opponent who ran
off a string of several regular
and net pars. Beachamp's
consistency was produced by
a strong putting game and it
was spearheaded~by a regular
par on the third hole.
With the unexpected
situation of the tournament's
number one seed falling out
of the event because of her
opponent's hot streak, Betty
Beck and Freida Martin made
the most of the opening.
For as much as the
tournament's feel and the
players' approach was
changed by the elimination of
its top seed, the same could
also be said of the opposite
end of the spectrum.
The lowest seed, Betty
Beck, staved off elimination
for the second consecutive
match with a four-hole
victory over Jeannie Clark.-
In defeating the tournament's
sixth seed, Beck continued her
potent play from the previous
round as she scored net pars
on over half of the holes.
After becoming the
tournament's biggest first
round upset, Leonard
sustained her place in the
bracket by besting Fran Ice in
a tight nip and tuck affair.
Ice captured some of the
momentum with a prolific
chip-in on the third hole and
rode it until the turn.
Leonard, finding the
consistency she said would
be needed to win this
tournament, matched her hole
for hole until the turn. After
extending that lead to two
holes by the time they came
to 16th fairway, for the second
consecutive match, she took
advantage of the lake on the
hole. Leonard's experience
and proficiency took over as
she won the hole and put the
match out of reach.
The other match in the
loser's bracket emphasized
the advantage lower seeds
have in this tournament as
Freida Martin took on Nancy
Klug.
Klug, the 15th seed, earned
a ticket to play at least
three games with her first
round victory over Leonard.
However, she quickly lost
her touch in the next round,
particularly her putting game.
It continued against Martin.
Klug was also hindered by
physical problems, reducing
any possibility of her swing
being used as a part of her
arsenol.
The winner's bracket saw
Pat Renaud defeat a game
Betty Altieri.
Then in the tournament's
most exciting match to date
the tenth seeded, Ruth Baker
took a two-hole victory over
aker, the
eed, held
17 holes.
;r lower
seed that upped her game.
She remained steady and
true to her average, putting
pressure on the tournament's
number three seed. Among
the reasons for being able to
maintain her average score
were multiple putts from at
least 20 feet.
"The top six seeds in this
tournament have all lost
at least one match. Those
handicappers have really
taken advantage of their
opportunity to shine. They
feel it is their tournament
to win and they are really
shining. They are enjoying
it."

Love -f thr"gam- kicked soccer program into existence
BY NEAL FISHER,
SPORTS WRITER
As the only school in Levy
County with a soccer team,
Williston High School al-
ready holds an unusual place
within the region, but it may
soon also be known as a pro-
gram of tradition.
Four years after taking the
field for its first-ever game,.
the Williston soccer team is
coming of age while enjoying
its best season to date. But
before the team could start
to think about winning be-
coming convention, the pains
and difficulties of building a
program from scratch created
the hardships from which the
program was born.
Shannon and Amber Agu-
irre have played soccer al-
most their entire lives. The
whole family believed a team
at the school would have long
lasting benefits to both the
community and the players.
This was because, even
though, a significant part of
the affinity for the two sis-
ters and their father, is tied
to their love for the sport and
what they mean to the com-
munity within the Bronson
Recreational League they
and their friends still needed
another outlet of play.
In doing so, they also
wanted to bring a new source
of student and athletic par-
ticipation to Williston High
School.
"We always felt that soccer
was the one sport that was
ours," Amber, who is now a
senior and one of the team's
tri-captains said. "I have been
playing it since I was in the
third grade. We thought we
could bring it to the school
and share it with others.
"When I step onto the soc-
cer field I feel an adrenaline
rush and now I see the same
with my teammates. When
we first went to the school,
(with the proposition) I had
gained so much from playing
Journal photo by Neal Fisher
THE TEAM struggled in their first three years, often doing the mambo while try-
ing to find the right combination-of how to pursue their philosophy of controlling
the midfield.
soccer, like patience and re-
lying on a team and I wanted
others to play the sport so
they could gain those types
of things too."
The first step in making the
team a reality was gathering
a group of girls who wanted
to play. It was also the hard-
est part of the process, but
eventually 22 girls answered
the call.
The girls along with their
parents and people who fol-
lowed the school's athletic
department first went to the
school's principal and the ath-
letic director (neither are no
longer at the school). Then
they explained the proposi-
tion to the school board.
The proposition was met
with halfhearted responses
at first, but the large turnout
'of adults, some who had no
children attending the school,
swayed the powers that be in
the direction of considering a
soccer team would be of ben-
efit to all parties. The large
support outside of the would
be players was also a definite
contrast to the youth league
as there is a lot more family
backing at the high school
level.
"When Amber and Shan-
non came to me with the idea
of starting a soccer program at
Williston High School I was
excited about bringing all the
things it has given me .to the
community and it has been
great to be able to play sports
year round," Midfielder and
one of the other tri-cpatains
Kaitlyn Guinsler, said.
"I would like for the girls
who follow us to see getting
the program started and get-
ting it to the point where it is
now as a message of never
giving up. It was hard to get
it started but we kept pushing.
And since we started playing,
it has been hard and there are
still some obstacles, but we
are making progress."
"When we first started
there was less than ten people
in the stands. But now we get
about 60. It's not much, but
it is definitely better than be-
fore. And that is how a pro-
gram gets known."
With the approval finally
being granted, the team be-
gan playing in 2003, three
years after the sisters and
their father first broached the
subject. Shannon was a se-
nior at the time.
Their father, Max, who
was among the parents voic-
ing their support from the
beginning, volunteered to
coach the team from its earli-
est stages. Including his time
at-the helm of the Lady Dev-
ils he has coached soccer for
12 years. His experience with
the sport made him an obvi-
ous choice. Juan Colina and
Ray Douyard are the assistant
coaches.
"Having a soccer team
means a whole new oppor-
tunity for many of the stu-
dents," Amber said. "A lot
of students who have athletic
ability, but no team to display
them with, now have that op-
portunity to sense feeling like
part of a team.
"Since we were new, we
didn't have tryouts or turn
anybody away. The program
is setup for the players to
learn the game. We enjoy'
it, because it is unique to
the girls at 'Williston High
School, just like football is to
the boys. And just like foot-
ball is unique to the boys, we
feel soccer is unique to us."
While the Aguirre sisters
and Guinsler spearhead the
initiative, it didn't make much
of a difference in attracting
experienced soccer players.
Eighteen of the girls had no
soccer experience and
with so many players
without any soccer
experience, it showed
as the team ackward-
ly muddled its way
Through its first three
seasons.
However, this year
has been a turning
point for the team.
The team's impressive
record through twelve
games is a direct con-
nection, to the nine
seniors on the squad
and the introduction '2-:
of passing certain ele-
ments of the Williston
way and play from one
generation to the next. ALO
The season started te
the t

having to start over at ite
the most basic level of inte

In addition, this is allowing
the younger players to devel-
op those skills and be ready
to step in when the seniors
graduate.
"This year we started doing
some of the things earlier, like
conditioning and it has been a
big help," Guinsler said. "We
wouldn't have been able to
do that the last three seasons,
because the players had to be
taught what to do.
"The seniors and juniors
are now in a position to help
and show the others what to
do, instead of having to be
taught it themselves. I think
we are now at the point where
if we get the girls who follow
us started early, in' the ninth
grade, they will have time
to develop their basic skills
before they are forced to see
significant time."
Anything worth doing
in life is never easy and as
the Lady Devils are spread-
ing their pitchforks, they are
showing why.

showdown against perennial
Powerhouse P.K. Yonge.
However, only seven
* minutes into the match, the
- team found. itself behind
when Hawthorn's midfielders
i. pushed and then crossed
* the ball in front of the Lady
< Devils' goal. Their striker
was left open and found the
net with ease.
The goal seemed to wake
the Lady Devils out of their
, funk as the team began
playing with the energy and
Y, thrust they had in winning
the previous two games.
L Their defense pushed the ball
up fast to the offensive zones
, and created opportunities for
the offense by giving them
t the rock in one-on-one and
r. odd man opportunities.
Sarah Gaskins scored off a
comer kick 15 minutes into
the game to tie it. Amber
Aguire connected for the
Second goal of the game

streak to four games and
upped their district record
to 3-2, The game produced
Four red cards among the two
teams as the upstart Lady
Devils took another step
towards a possible berth in
the post-season by defeating
the district's best. With one
game left against Ft. White
the Lady Devils in only their
third year are in the middle of
the chase for a playoff berth.
A win in that final contest
would give the Red Devils
a strong position towards
earning that playoff berth.
Amber Aguirre assisted
on all the goals, which were
scored by Kaitlyn Guinsler.
The team pushed the ball up
quickly from the backfield
approach worked once again.
Each of the three goals started
when Aguirre received passes
from the defense and with

three pinpoint passes within
15 feet of the goal to put
Guinsler on P.K. Yonge's

However, the team got off
to another slow start, falling
behind by a 1-0 score before

the atmosphere and the.
conditioning of involvement
with college football has
become and the powers that
be need to acknowledge it.
Obviously with Michigan
and Florida having no way to
play each other to determine
who should play Ohio State,
the decision had to be made
off the field. I will probably
never be convinced that
if the two teams played,
Florida would win.
Nonetheless, starting
with Michigan's head coach
Lloyd Carr, many fellow
members of the Wolverines'
nation have complained
about Urban Meyers
politicking.
As a Michigan fan, I find
this stance rather perplexing.
Instead of worrying about
what Meyer is doing, what
the coaching staff, the1
administration, the players
and the fans should be
complaining about is that
the Wolverines didn't get the
job done when they had the
chance again.
Understandably, I was
disappointed when the
announcement was made that
Florida, not Michigan was
chosen to play in Glendale,
Ariz. on Jan. 8, but I do not
think it was necessarily the
wrong choice. I am far from
convinced that if Michigan
were chosen, the outcome of
the game would be different
frornth.Novo 1,7 outcome.--
I make this statement
because throughout Lloyd
Carr's tenure at Michigan,
he has consistently been out-
coached in almost every "big
game."
This is particularly true
of the last six years. An
abbreviated list includes
a 1-5 record against Ohio
State's coach, Jim Tressel,
a 1-3 mark versus Charlie
Weiss of Notre Dame and he
is winless in three attempts
against Pete Carrol, the
leader ofthe Trojans.
I do believe Meyer's
politicking had some,
albeit a minor, role in
T;6~'s'~T.. 'es Tr e
the Gators jumping the
Wolverines in the final
polls and their inclusion in
the championship game.
However, what truly
influenced the voters was
simply the fact Michigan lost
when they had their chance
to secure a berth in the
championship game.
A team could beat another
squad nine out of 10 times,
but if the unit that wins
only once does it in any of
the NCAA championship
tournaments, they would
move on. Because there
are no second chances in
the tournament and most
people feel they had their
opportunity to prove they
were the better team.
College football might
not crown its champion
via a tournament, but it is
still deciding who the best
team is. So, if Michigan
was the only one-loss team
remaining they would be
the only choice by default,
but in a situation where two
teams had the same number
of losses, it is hard to justify
using different logic.
So, it is hard for me to
argue Michigan should be
going to Glendale when they
lost with so much at stake.
To me listening to Carr
say Florida is going to the
championship game because
of Meyer's politicking is but
a grasp at straws to explain
the uncomfortable situation
of not being chosen to play
in the championship game
after another painful loss to
an elite team determined the
decision.
While Michigan is the
team involved this year in
the school that was unfairly
left out of the championship
game controversy, it is
not the first and will not
be the last to make such a
complaint.
College football's
crowning of its
national champion is an
uncomfortable process,
because rarely do two teams
stand head and shoulders
above the others. This trend
will not change anytime
soon.
The actions of tradition-
rich schools year after
year:looking to explain
their non-inclusion in the
championship game by
complaining about the other
colleges only makes this
process more uncomfortable.
And if the powers that
be in college football do
not want to change the
way it crowns its national
champion, then the least they.
can do is understand that in
exchange, this is what they
will deal with on a yearly
basis.

Indians lose three in week
BY NEAL FISHER
SPORTS WRITER
With every team in the
Indians' district pushing a
transition game and athletic
pressure defenses, Chiefland
could not afford to turn the
ball over and shoot poorly,
but that is exactly what they
did in three games last week.
The Indians turned the ball
over 103 times in thee games.
The result was three losses
and a 1-5 record as the team
tries to find itself.
Improvement is coming,
but against teams with the
speed and athleticism that the
Indians played the amount
was too little to net a victory.

Taylor County 60
Chiefland 32
Record: 1-3 (overall), 0-2
(district)
Taking to the road, the
Indians turned the ball over
40 times and shot less than 20
percent from the field.
The team played a game
contest, but using the old
adage of each turnover
leading to at least one point
for the other team, they gave
up at least 40 points.
The decision making of
the ball handlers showed a lot
of room for improvement as
their turnovers led to Taylor
County's forcing the tempo
and feel of the game with
a fast pace. The team was
behind at halftime 33-11,
before cutting the lead to
14 points. However, Taylor
County's 14-0 ruin crushed
the Indians to end the game.

them only one point behind
Newberry at halftime, 24-23.
They reduced their turnovers
to 18 in the first half, but
Newberry stormed to an
insurmountable lead in the
third as they took advantage
of a dozen miscues by the
Indians. The Indians' lack
of depth was the primary
cause. Going only seven
deep against Newberry's use
of their fill roster, the Indians
found themselves physically
tired and without the stamina
of their opponents. The
visitors outscored Chiefland
by 18 points in the quarter.

After falling behind by

only four points behind.
As they had throughout
the season their defense and
rebounding was their strength
as they fought their way back

However, it was also, for
the first time this year, their
defense was erratic and off

In reducing their turnovers

their opening game win, they
were in the contest throughout
the second half. After falling
behind by a score of 16-5 at
the end of first quarter, the
Indians rallied to make it a
one-point game at halftime.
After a nip-and-tuck third
quarter Dixie County rambled
off nine three pointers in the
final stanza to win the game.
The Indians for the fourth
consecutive game shot less
than 20 percent from the

Wave sweeps over Devils
BY NEAL FISHER
SPORTS WRITER
WILLISTON-After the Red Devils laid the smack down on
Dixie County in the fourth quarter to up their district record to
3-0, they got their shot at toppling the big, bad juggernaught
of P.K. Yonge.
The two teams met with matching and undefeated district
records of 3-0, but despite a host of athletes who could run,
jump and fly with the best of them, that is where the similarities
ended.
Facing a trio of seniors from P.K. Yonge who have already
signed with major division I-A programs, Williston was
outmatched and "out-athleted" from the tip-off as the visitors

coincidence, their five-game winning streak also started at the
same time.
For the first time in its existence the team also has speed.
After trying several tactical strategies during its first five
games, the coaches decided they could exploit their opponents'
weaknesses best by deploying its newfound speed in the
backfield.
When the Lady Devils found the right personal alignment
for its backfield, the difficulty they had in pushing the ball up
field to the midfielders and begin odd man breaks became a
key to their ability to control the game and the ball.
Allison Norman and Lauren Foreman remained at the
fullback positions. However, Suzie Smith, the team's fastest
player, was moved to the sweeper position after an injury to
team tri-captain Mindy Hughes. Smith was playing stopper.
It gave the defense a solid and experienced player to take
charge and direct their attempts to move the ball up field
quickly. Backup goalie Heather Porter was moved into the
stopper position.
The team also placed its speed at the striker position. With
Sarah Gaskins' and Lucia Bernal's speed they are receiving,
the ball with much more space to maneuver and are often in
one-on-one match-ups as once again, moving the ball up field
quickly is the reason.
"We are keeping the ball but of the defensive zone,"'
midfielder and tri-captain Amber Aguirre said. "That opens
up scoring opportunities and limits the opposition's ability to
score. With the speed we have when the defense gets the
ball out of our zone, it allows us to cross the ball through the
middle of the field.
"Which is hard for defenses and goalies to stop, especially
when the ball is moving quickly. We have really come a long
way since the first game and the team's idea of controlling the
midfield with speed is coming of age. It has really given us a
solid defense and offense. With the way we are playing, we
rally have a good shot at the district title."
Those aspirations of a district title were enhanced with a
hard fought 3-2 victory over P.K. Yonge last Friday. The Blue
Wave is the beast of the district and in order to win it, a team
must defeat them. The Lady Devils split their seasoi sferies

with them and now sit in the runner-up spot only one game
behind the Blue Wave.
With a 3-2 record in district the Lady Devils have only
one more opportunity to make a push for a post-season berth
against Fort White on Jan., 5, but a win:puts them in the
position of the odds being in their favor for a playoff berth.
After starting the season with the difficult task of playing
six away games in their first eight contests, the team also has
the muscle of a string of home games in the second half. They
begin it with five consecutive home games and play at Booster
stadium seven times.
"Playing at home is huge,"'Amber Aguirre said. "The long
road trips can make a team drowsy and we were missing
something. But we still did go 2-2 and had some good play.
Now we get to play almost all of our remaining games at
home and with the inspiration and fire it gives us, we should
be able to play even better and continue our run."
Surviving the change in its personal, for the first time in its
existence the team's communication took on the form of the
reason for its greatest strength and has been key in creating
the open space and the odd man rushes.
"Our greatest strength is our unity," Max Aguirre said. "It
has really come together since the communication began
improving. Communication was our weakness. Improving '
it has really changed, the possibilities we have. Whoever
receives a pass has multiple options. We can get the ball
down the wings.
"And the players have much more open space when they
receive the pass, because the passers'know where to kick
it to. Trying to use our speed and passing the way we do,
communication is what makes it possible to push the ball like
we have been. The girls can lead each other to the open space
with communication."
Among the remaining non-district games that can determine
the outcome of the Lady Devils' season are two match-ups
with Vanguard. The coaching staff is looking for the team
at this point to become a little bit more polished and with its
reputation as a contending state titlest every year, they will
force the Lady Devils to smooth over the rough edges in their
quest to make a'name for themselves. :: :;-

The Lady Devils conclude
their first half of the season
with three games this week.
Two of the games were re-
scheduled and could be a
stumbling block. Among the
games are district and cross-
county rival Chiefland.
The Lady Devils have been
something of a surprise win-
ning their first five games and
starting the season off with
a 6-1 record. Their defense
and rebounding under first
year coach Jason Odom has
been vastly improved and the
strength of the team.
It will be counted on even
more as Williston heads
down the final stretch off
their season. However, they
have accomplished the goal
of getting of to a good start.
with both their overall and
district records.

They will be tested by P.K.
Yonge and the rest of the dis-
trict when they meet them for
the second time.
"Of course we would have
liked to be 3-0 in the district,
but the loss to Newberry is
something that we can use,"
Odom said. "It will give
them a great deal of experi-
ence heading into the second
half of the season. They real-
ize they can be beaten if they
don't play up to their poten-
tial."
"We have yet to put togeth-
er a complete game, but they
learned this week we have to
fight for every point on every
possession in most games.
It was important we won,
despite not playing our best
game and for them to come
and get a win after Newberry,
it is big in regaining momen-
tum."

*Chiefland
When asked about the
charges Williams referred to,
commissioner Teal Pomeroy
said that he had once sold
alcohol to a 20-year old,
and that he had been twice
charged with battery by a
girlfriend in a relationship
gone bad. Pomeroy owned
and managed a bar prior to
serving as a commissioner.
Records at the Levy County
Clerk's Office revealed that
Pomeroy has had five charges
against him. He was charged
in 1999 with a boating
infraction-for failure to use
a diving flag. Adjudication
was withheld and Pomeroy
paid a $25 citation fee.
He was also charged that
year with selling liquor to
someone under the age of
21. The state dropped those
charges that December. In
2000, he was charged with a
health and safety infraction.
Although the records did not
indicate the precise infraction,
a clerk's office representative
said that this was likely a code
violation such as failure to
remove debris from property.
He pled guilty and paid a
$55 fine. In 2002, he was
twice charged with battery.
One charge was dropped
due to insufficient evidence
and the other was dropped
for "lacking prosecutorial
merit."
Williams concluded,
"Several ofthe commissioners
representing us should resign
and get their lives in order.-
On a final note, the "N" word
that I'm identified by doesn't
bother me...I'm an outsider
even with some members
within the black community
because I don't play games or
jump on bandwagons."
Although Williams is
director of the Levy County
Housing Authority and
president of the Greater
Chiefland Chamber of
Commerce, he said that
he was not speaking on
behalf of either of the two
organizations, but rather as a
business owner and manager
in Chiefland.
Pomeroy maintained that
Williams was speaking with a
political agenda in mind. "He
hired a private investigator
to look into my background
during the elections last
August. He was running two
campaigns. (for candidates for
city commissioners) at the
time-for Debra Houska and
Sharon Livingston. He has an
extensive political agenda."
Houska was employed
in the housing office with
Williams at the time of the
election. Williams was listed
as Livingston's campaign
treasurer during the run up
to the elections held last
August.
Pomeroy went on to say
that while Williams had
complained about the manner
in which city manager
candidates were selected, at
no time had Williams called
him to express his opinion.
"My number's listed in the
phone book. He could have
called with his advice."
When she was called for
comment after the meeting,
commissioner Teresa Barron
said she felt that Williams
was "a little over the top.
I felt like I was being
coerced--if I didn't vote his
way, even my children would
be threatened.;. Citizens
need to stand up. There is
* Plan
Continued from front
working with an assistant
superintendent to the school
board, Jeff Davis, who was
formerly a defacto member
of the city's planning board.
The proposed development
could add an additional
410 students to the city's
schools.
Commissioners voted
Monday to resubmit the
request to DCA for approval.
The motion was made by Teal
Pomeroy, seconded by Teresa
Barron and unanimously
passed by all.
