Trenton Pediatrics
Holds Ribbon
Cutting Thursday
Trenton Medical Center Inc.
partners with USDA Rural
Development to bring pediatric
health care to the fore front in
Gilchrist County. .Trenton
Medical Center Inc. held a
ribbon cutting ceremony to open
the 5960 sq. .ft-Trenton
Pediatrics on Thursday, January
20. The facility is located on
U.S. 129 south in Trenton. The
doors have opened at Trenton
Pediatrics. Children's healthcare
services in Gilchrist and Levy
counties are taking a dramatic
step forward. The USDA
funded in part by a $962.500
low interest Communitt
Facilities loan.
DeWayne Yates CEO of
Trenton Medical Center Inc.
recognized the Board of
Directors of Trenton Medical
Center ; Inc. Gail Osteen,
chairman of the board of
directors explained the Trenton
Medical Center is in their 34th
year of being a part of the health
care program. This health care
provider strives to meet the
health care needs of the area.
Trenton Medical Center, Inc.
a non-profit organization
serving Gilchrist and levy
counties, opened it's doors in
1988, establishing the pediatrics
unit in 2001. The center
formerly operated it pediatric
medical service from a mobile
building. The staff is the first
facility served 40 pediatric
patients per day in four exam
rooms by one pediatrician. This
new pediatric facility will.
enable Trenton Medical Center
staff to better serve more
patients.
Rural communities have
significant health related needs
and problems but substantially
fewer health resources. Small
rural communities face special
difficulties in attracting
healthcare providers and
facilities in their efforts to
ensure that their residents have
this critical:healthcare access.
Issues affecting rural medical
care include a lack of public
transportation to and from
medical services, difficulty in
retaining health care providers,
difficulty for managed care-
providers to achieve economics'
of scale and a significant
number of residents are not
covered by health insurance.
USDA rural Development is
committed to improving access

The Gilchrist. County
Commission once again began
the discussion of the need for
road maintenance and
improvements to 6200 feet of
the' south portion of SE 70'
Street.
Board Chairman Mitchell
Gentry recognized Mike Odom.
a resident that lies near SE 70th
Street. He attended the meeting
to tell the board %\har the'
residents in the area would like
to see done to improve the road.
"I have talked to residents that
live in this area, some are in
favor of paving all the way
south to CR 337 and some are
willing to have cold patch put
on the roadif the, board is
considering making this road aa
limerock road again," Odom
explained.
Odom reminded the board
that in the first meeting in
January, he \%as told this road is
maintained e'er\ two weeks. "I
think .the board was
misinformed when I was told
this," Odom explained. Mike
dm '.ol inedJ :. truc tive
commissioners that no one
living along this road wants the
1300 feet of milled material to

become a limerock road.
Bill Humphries a resident of
this area told the board that
when the milled material was
put on the 1300 feet of road in
the early 90's, the base and
surface of the road was not
properly prepared. "We just
hope that the county wiN repair
this area of the road properly to
improve the roadway," he
added.
Commissioner Gentry told
those attending the meeting that
the County's Road Department
has done road boring to test and
see how thick the base of the
road is. The county's guidelines
to take over maintenance of a
paved road is to have a
minimum of 6 inches of
limerock base. Commissioner
Gentry explained that the entire
6200 feet of road being
discussed for improvements
does not have an adequate base
to support a paved asphalt
surface.
Marly residents told the
commission that the tough road
was causing serious damage to
their vehicles.
Jack Whinehurst told the
board the county could raise his
taxes if that is what is needed to

pave this road.
Commissioner Tommy
Langford explained to the
residents the county has :a
program called Special
Assessment that will provide for
road improvement and paving if
70% of the residents and users
sign a form to participate in
paying for the improvements.
Many of the residents
spokeout against the county
raising their taxes or charging
them a Special Assessment to
pay for the road improvements.
These residents felt since they
already pay taxes, the county
should pave the road with
county revenues.
Commissioner Sharon
Langford explained to the
residents that the Department of
Transportation has a program
that is called SCRAP that would
review this road to see if it
would meet the guidelines for
paving.
The Justin Watson.-Gilchrist
County Road Department
Superintendent told the board
andthe audience that the milled

Sons of Confederate
Veterans Lee &
Jackson's Birthdays
By Anna Wild
On Saturday, January 22,
2005, the John Hance O'Steen
Camp 770 of the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans hosted a
birthday dinner in Newberry to
honor the birthdays of General
Robert E. Lee and General
Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
Both generals shared January
birthdays so Camp 770 felt it
only fitting to honor this special
occasion. The John Hance
O'Steen Camp 770 invited area
camps to join them in the cele-
bration. They had about 100
guests at the dinner and they
were pleased to see several
camps join in.
After the dinner we heard
from generals Lee and Jackson
themselves (well close to it.)
We were honored to have Gen-
eral Tom Jessee (who looks a
lot like General Lee) pose as
General Lee, and Emery Thrift
pose as General Jackson. The
two educated the crowd on their
lives, many accomplishments
and challenges and events that
lead to their deaths. The crowd

Comments
By: John M. Ayers
The Gilchrist County Com-
mission Chairman Mitchell
Gentry went to extremes Mon-
day night to try and get what he
.wanted, but a wiser group of
'fellow commissioners prevailed
as they agreed to put the paving
of the south end of SE 70th
Street on the agenda for the
:budget workshops for the 2005-
2006 fiscal year. Chairman
-Gentry agreed with the audience
of residents and property own-
ers from the Waccasassa Lake
area in that right now the county
has $47,000 in revenues from
transportation impact fees, but
-who knows if the money will be
available in 2006.
Commission Vice Chairman
Randy Durden explained to the
'6oard that the commission can
identify the issue as a line item
in the budget and the revenue to
completee the project be identi-
,fled in the 2005-06 budget. The
)o6ard could then appropriate the
revenue for the project and
make sure the county would not
be over-extended if an emer-
gency like a hurricane hitting
the area in 2005 should occur.
Gilchrist Cou ty ,Clerl .of
Courts Joe Gilliam explained to
the audience that-"the county
went,into the 2004-2005 fiscal
year with a budget reserve of
btetwee.n $300,000 and
'400.000. Following the hurri-
Canes that impacted the area in
;004, the county has spent an
15timated $250,000 of that re-
'ser.e for hurricane relief. Gil-
1am further explained that a
portion of these revenues are
expected to be reimbursed by
IEMA, but at this time the

county has not received these
funds.
Commissioner Sharon Akins
Langford, the District 1 repre-
sentative, told her neighbors
that she would be in favor of the
board further discussing and
appropriating the funds to pave
the 6200 feet of the road in
2006.
Chairman Gentry supported
the theory that Waccasassa resi-
dent Mike Odom told the board
that the county should not go
backwards in taking the 1300-
foot strip of milled asphalt and
making it a limerock rock road
again.
Road Department Superin-
tendent Justin Watson explained
to the board that the 1300-foot
strip of milled asphalt has a
base of two to four and a half
inches of lime rock. "This en-
tire road does not have enough
base to hold an asphalt surface,"
Watson explained to the Com-
mission. From this prospective,
the board, following a 4-1 vote,
decided to go back and grind up
the road base and add additional
rock, up to six inches, and pre-
pare the road for paving in
2006.
I feel the board needs to
keep in mind that the revenues
they spend on road paving are
limited d and should be spent for
the best overall road for the fu-
ture. I compliment the .four
commissioners that agreed to go
forward in planning to identify
the funds for the project in the
future. I also admire these four
commissioners for standing up
for what they feel is best for all
of Gilchrist County's future.

The best preparation for to-
morrow is to do today's work
superbly well.
-Sir William Osler

Takes Action To
Improve Road Base
Of SE 70th Street
(Continued from Page One)
the SCRAP program. The DOT
would accept a limerock road
for this program.
Mrs. Doris Smith told the
board that the paved portion of
S.E. 70th Street coming south
from SR 26 is too narrow. "I am
a taxpayer and we need
something done for our roads in
this area," she added.
Commissioner Gentry
explained that he has looked
into resurfacing the 1300 feet of
milled pavement at the entrance
of Waccasassa Road. "I think
the first 1300 feet of-road needs
to be paved. The Gilchrist
County Road Department could
resurface this portion of road for,
$16,000 and it be paid out of
Transportation Impact revenues,
Gentry explained.
Commission Sharon
SLangford explained to the board
that 2/10 of a mile of the rock
road at the southern portion of
the 6200 feet of road is also in
serious need of improvements.
Mike Odom told the board
that three Gilchrist County
School buses travel this road on
a daily route. "The safety of
these kids I feel is a top
priority," Mr. Odom explained
Many residents living along
the road requested the county
erect signs that would establish
a weight limit and restrict heavy
trucks from traveling this road.
The board advise that they can't
restrict an agriculture operation
from having their crop
transported out from the
growing fields. The board also
explained that the trucks used in
transporting the timber being
harvested in the wooded areas
south of Waccasassa Road
could not be restricted from
using this road.
A resident asked the board if
a proposed mining operation
would be allowed to use SE 70th
Street to transport their products
out of a proposed location of a
mine. The board did not discuss
the details of the proposed
mining application expected to
go before the board in the near
future. Many residents told the
board that they would be back
-in that meeting to remind tehe
cdlinty 'of'-tie preseinY'Ctdtltn
'of the6oro'd in this' di&a'. The
increased heavy traffic will only
make our roads worse, a
resident explained.
Commissioner Randy
Durden explained to those
attending the meeting that the
$47,500 that Commissioner
Gentry identified in the
Transportation Impact Fund has
a debt service of $60,000 that
must be paid annually to pay off
previously improved highways.
He went on to explain that the
board has also earmarked
revenues from this fund to pay
for a bull dozer for the road
department and other existing
road improvements projects that
the county is involved in. The
commission has also purchased
other new equipment for the
road department that is being
paid for from these revenues.
Gilchrist County Clerk Joe
Gilliam told the audience that
S the Impacts Fee revenues are
funds that take time to build up.
S The county doesn't rely on these
funds because they are not
scheduled to be received by the

Sergeant Michael Butler Returns

Home From Iraq

Sergeant Michael Butler ar-
rived safely back with his pri-
mary unit in Hawaii on Monday
after a yearlong deployment in
Iraq. While serving in Iraq, he
was based with the Army's 25th
Infantry Division in Kirkuk and
operated a Node Center. Ser-
geant Butler is a member of the
125th Signal Battalion and is or-
ganized with a Headquarters
and Headquarters Company and
three line companies that are
equipped with Mobile Sub-
scriber Equipment, multi-
channel satellite terminals and
single channel ground and air-
borne radio systems. The 125th
Signal Battalion's mission is to
deploy to a theater of operations
to provide Command, Control,
Communications, and Computer
support for the 25th ID,
USARHAW, and USARPAC or
PACOM directed contingency
headquarters.
The 25th ID is fast paced with
lots of training and real-world
commitments. The home base

valorum taxes that are paid on
residential and commercial
property is not used for road
maintenance and improvements.
These funds go into the General
Revenue Budget and pay for
mandated services provide, by
the county, such as law
enforcement ard other
necessities. Commissioner
Langford explained that a
portion of the taxes on the sale
of gas and fuels in Gilchrist
County go to pay for road,
improvements.
Commissioner Durden
explained that a ground up
milled rock road with an
increase in limerock base to a
minimum of 6 inches would
improve the road surface and
make it easier to maintain. He
also explained that putting a
good base on this road now
would make it a better surface
when the county decides to pave
this road.
Commissioner Durden
commended Road Department
Superintendent Justin Watson
on the improvements that are
being made in the Gilchrist
County Road Department.
Commissioner Durden made

Commissioner Tommy
Langford gave a second to the

favor of eliminating the
previous action taken by the
previous board.
Commissioner Durden then
made a motion to mill the 6200
feet of roadway and add
limerock to make the base a
minimum of 6 inches and to put
the road on the agenda to be
considered for funding in the

about the "Old Gym Project"
that is in the works to move the
old gym from the Trenton High
School campus over to the
Trenton Elementary School
campus. Not only is moving the
historic structure a complicated
process, but the foundationalso
needs to be ready before it is
moved, and then the restoration
work'has to be done.
The speakers explained that
they have been working for
three years on this project, with
fund-raising, grant-writing and
planning. When the first grant
was received to move the
structure, it required a match of
$50,000, and Mrs. Ledvina ex-
plained that. their fund-raising
efforts have raised $50,640.
They expect that it will take at
least $100,000 just to move the.
structure. A second grant of
$300,000 was written which
will be used.to restore and bring
the building up to code and into
compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Dr. Surrency and Mrs. Ledvina
explained that they had gone to
Tallahassee to present their
grant request, in competition
with'many other people who
had other worthy historical
projects that need restoration.
i The.Old Gym-will-be-able to -
be moved in one piece, ex-
plained Todd Gray, who is con-
sulting with the School Board
on,the project. It will be moved
across the hay field and a
limerock road which run across
the back of the properties.
Phase I will consist of building
a pier foundation similar to the
one that it sits on now, moving
the building and securing it to
its foundation.. Phase II will
consist of the renovation (in-
cluding new boys and girls
locker rooms) as well as the
building of a new museum to be
placed into the front lobby of
the gym. The museum will
highlight the history of the
structure when it was built by
John Franklin Beach, Sr. and his
company during the Great De-
pression, and will showcase
sports memorabilia from Tren-

ton sports stars.
Dr. Surrency and Mrs. Led-
vina explained that there are two
reasons why the gym is being
moved: It is "landlocked" at the
high school campus with no ac-
cess for cars, and the Trenton
Elementary School would bene-
fit from having an indoor gym-
nasium for gym class and as-
semblies. The museum will be
an added attraction for commu-
nity members.
The Trenton Rotary Club is
helping to celebrate the Rotary
Centennial this year, as the Ro-
tary Club marks its 100-year
anniversary. To commemorate
this occasion, the club will re-
build a fountain out in front to
resemble one that existed in
front of the gym in times past.
Jonathan Kincaid is organizing
this project. Surrounding the
fountain will be benches and the
bricks that have been purchased
by community members. Mrs.
Ledvina stated that the bricks
are still available; you can have
a short message or family name
printed onto a brick to be placed
at the site for $100.00. For
more information on purchasing
a brick, please call Mrs. Ledvina
at (352) 463-3224.

Members of the Trenton Ro-
tary Club were out on Saturday
morning, January 22nd putting
the primer coat of paint onto the
racquetball courts located at the
Trenton City Park. It was too
cold for the primer coat to dry
that day, so they called it quits
by 10:30 a.m. and are going to'
put the color coat on at a later
date. Thanks, to everyone who
participated in this worthy
community service project.

Ayers' Residents
Visit Youngsters
It was a fun-filled day for the
children at Trenton Elementary
School and Kids' World
Learning Center when Karl
Leschanz and Doris Pope from
Ayers' Health & Rehabilitation
Center came in for a visit.
Ms. Pope is a retired elemen-
tary school teacher and enjoyed
being back in the teaching at-
mosphere. After each story was
read, Ms. Pope would ask the
children questions to keep them
involved and attentive. Ms.
Pope stated that "the children
were good listeners and very
interactive."
Mr. Karl Leschanz enjoyed
playing number games and
reading with the children. After
all the learning activities were
through inside, Karl played soc-
cer outside with the children.
"Playing soccer with the little
ones was nice, I played soccer
as a child also," said Karl.
All the parties involved had a
wonderful time together, expe-
riencing new relationships and
remembering good old times
from the past.

Bell came into this game

Bell got the first point of the
game when #32 Zach Woolsey
hit a free throw, and missed the
other. Branford guard #14 went
down to the other side of the
court and easily pulled up and
made a great jump shot to take a
2-1 lead. Bell would answer
right back as #1 Todd Scaggs
drained a tremendous shot to
give Bell a 3-2 lead. The Bull-
dogs would never trail again.
On Bell's next trip down the
court #44 Buck Douglas created

Character Council
Sponsors Its 1st Kick
Off Breakfast
By Geneva Cornwell
With contributions from local
merchants, the Character Coun-
cil of Gilchrist County spon-
sored its first annual "Kick off
Breakfast" on Thursday, Janu-
ary 20, 2005. The reason for'the
event was to kick off the new
year by introducing its guests to
the Council's purpose and
scope. The breakfast, held at
the Trenton Community Center,
began promptly at 7:30 a.m.
with President Dr. Jim Surrency
as its MC.
The 20 distinguished guests
present were given the opportu-
nity to observe the Council in
action by witnessing an abbre-
viated form of an actual meet-
ing. The Council members
voted to have the Council join
the Chamber of Commerce, do-
nate an "Achieving True Suc-
cess" book as a door prize to the
upcoming Chamber Banquet,
and to obtain a post office box
for its incoming mail.
After the meeting the guests
were favored with a nutritious
breakfast, while fellowshipping
among themselves and looking
over the two display tables. The
tables exhibited the activities of
the Council with its scrap book,
a binder with "character" bulle-
tins for businesses, as well as
one each of the four volumes of
the character education cur-
riculum which is used in both
Bell and Trenton Elementary
schools.
After the meal, keynote
speaker, Mr. Keith Jackson, de-
livered a most interesting ad-
dress. Mr. Jackson is one of the
public speakers for the Charac-
ter Council of Florida. He trav-
eled from Brooksville to be with
the group. He gave a short syn-
opsis of different changes in our
country over the past century
regarding "character." He en-
couraged everyone to continue
down the right path of leading
the younger generation in moral
character training and educa-
tion, by teaching and learning
how we all must suppress bad
character and show forth good
character as we live our every-
day lives.
There was a time for discus-
sion and kiq;tl tjItfW _)l

sent, Krstie McElroy and Judy
Overstreet, gave a report on
how well the "Character First!"
curriculum is exceeding expec-
tations in the lives of those stu-
dents, with the assistance of
their parents. They shared that
the training in character is
.helping the students to adhere to
guidelines and principles being
taught.
Vice President, Sheriff David
Turner, then gave, a few words
of exhortation as to how the
"Character First!" program is
working among those he over-
sees in the law enforcement
sector of our county. He em-
phasized how he tries diligently
to encourage those working for
the Sheriff's Office by praising
them for the good character
qualities which they exhibit on
the job.
As a result of the "Kick-off
Breakfast," those of the Char-
acter Council, as well as the
guests, left the activity encour-
,aged with the fact that they all
know more now about the un-
derlining good things that are
coming from being a part of
building character in themselves
and in the lives of others. The
Council would like to publicly
thank the area restaurants and
businesses for their contribu-
tions in making the breakfast a
success, and in exemplifying
with all of Gilchrist citizens,
that a "County of Character, is
a County that cares."

FANTASTIC FACTS
Where did the dullard get the
name, "Clod Hopper?"
In early England the peasants
were uneducated; it was there-
fore assumed they were unin-
telligent. The gentry rode
horses across the fields, while
the peasantry walked afoot,
hopping over the clods of earth
turned up by the plow. They
were literally "Clodhoppers."
It's hard to be nostalgic when
you can't remember any-
thing...
RIB TICKLERS
One pastor made a list of 357
sins mentioned in the .Bible.
Afterwards he got many re-
quests from people who were
interested in obtaining the list.
They were afraid they had
maybe missed one or two sins.
As the last of 15 postcards
disappeared into the outgoing
mail slot at a nearby post office,
I realized I'd forgotten to add
something namely the
stamps. I ran to the counter
and, hoping to elicit some sym-
pathy from the woman behind
it, began, "Did you ever make a.
mistake?"
Terseley, she replied, "Well,
I've been married three times."
As the lights began dimming

at a recent classical music con-
cert, an offstage announcer ad-
dressed the audience: "...And
at this time, would you be good
enough to set your cell phones
and small children on vibrate."
Hopelessly lost, the man
pulled his car into an abandoned
gas station in the desert and got
out. The only creature there
was an owl. "Owl, are you able
to tell me the quickest way to
town?"
"Are you walking or driv-
ing?" asked the wise owl.
"I'm driving."
"Well. that's the quickest
way .
"When people ask me if I
have any spare change," says
comedian Nick Arnette, "I tell
them I have it at home in my
spare .wallet."
"Skiing? I do not participate
in any sport with ambulances at
the bottom of the hill."

2 tbsp. butter or margarine,
melted
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt
Pepper
Little neck or hard shell clam
is the variety used. Scrub the
shell with a brush and wash free
of sand in several waters. Place
clams in a large kettle. Add 1/2
cup boiling water. Cover
tightly and steam for 10 minutes
or until shells open. Lay a nap-
kins on a hot platter and place
the clams in their shells on this;
cover with a second napkin and
serve. In eating, remove the
clam from the shell and dip in
butter and lemon juice mixed
and seasoned with salt and pep-
per. The thin, tough part known
as the neck is not eaten.
One doesn't have a sense of
humor. It has you...

Open Mon. Fri.

And His redemptive grace pro-
claim!
As years have passed, the stal-
wart souls
Have moved toward God's ad-
vancing goals;
Faithful to His Kingdom's plan
They've served Him and their
fellow man!
And now with faith that ever
grows,
And Love that seeks but to
disclose
The consummation of our Hope,
We climb with cheer this hal-
lowed slope!
God bless the lives that in the
past
Have toiled that this great
church might last.
God bless the lives that now
will give
That this great church for aye
will live!

Log Cabin Quilters
The Log Cabin Quilters met
Thursday, January 20th at the
Levy County Quilt Museum.
It was another busy day. We
now have the third quilt in to
work on. The new one is like
"Jacob's Coat," a quilt of
many colors done in the "Log
Cabin" pattern.
Mike Brannon came up from
Camp Caruth and brought fab-
ric for us to use when the chil-
dren come to camp. They
paint the squares we make the
quilt and wall hanging from.
When we finish them they are
taken back and hung in the
school rooms. We will be go-
ing down soon to visit and see
how the children are doing.
We are in a busy time and
are having lots of visitors.
Many of them are looking for
land to move tooo and wecan't
blame them. Country living is
so peaceful as the cities are
getting so crowded. Sometimes
it's hard to see the stars at
night there are so many lights.
We meet so many and usually

Character First!
Theme Of The
Month Is
"Availability"
By Geneva Cornwell
AVAILABILITY: focusing
on others' needs.
AVAILABILITY doesn't sit
around dormant waiting for
something to happen. Rather, it
keeps people busy on their own
projects, but with a readiness to
change projects and priorities if
needed. AVAILABILITY is
similar to a river that powers a
water mill. The energy is in the
river all the time, it just needs
directions to the right place.
AVAILABILITY is the capa-
bility of being used; that state in
which a thing can be reached or
obtained. It is being accessible.
The word available comes from
adding the suffice -able to a
variation of the Old French
term, avaler. Avaler is derived
from the Latin word ad, mean-
ing "to" or "for," and valere
meaning "to be strong; of
worth."
.AVAILABILITY is the abil-
ity to add strength or worth to
another person. it is the quality
of one who stands ready to con-
tribute his or her own strength
and talent to those who need it.
The one who receives that
service is said to "avail" himself
of those benefits. That is to say,
he receives "strength" or
"worth" from others.
AVAILABILITY makes eve-
ryone successful. Just as when
one member of a team hurts,
everyone hurts, so when one
person succeeds, everyone who
was part of the process suc-

ceeds, too. Only one player
may hold the trophy, but every-
one on the team is a winner.
By virtue of their position,
leaders must often change as-
signments and priorities of those
under them. Those changes fre-
quently cause resistance. The
resistance, however, is wors-
ened when leaders push instead
of lead. Skilled and successful
leaders make those under their
leadership feel they are working
with them, not being used by
them. They do this through
regular contact, personal interest
in other peoples' lives, and ex-
plaining the greater reasons and
goals behind a change in priori-
ties.
AVAILABILITY demon-
strates that others' needs will be
placed first. I tries to find ways
to help others, rather than find-
ing a way to hide. A person
who exemplifies
AVAILABILITY is ready when
called, is glad for a chance to
serve and always checks with
the right person before making a
commitment.
Most people who are truly
observant, can actually see those
in action who display
AVAILABILITY, for it usually

is in the act of community
service that most things get
done; such as school crosswalk
guards, teaching reading at the
library, collecting items and as-
sembling baskets for the needy,
and so much more. Gilchrist
County citizens certainly exhib-
ited AVAILABILITY in 2004
with all the priorities which
needed attention, mainly due to
the hurricanes' winds and rain.
It is precisely AVAILABILITY
that proves that our County is
"A County of Character Be-
cause It's a County that Cares."

"Trenton Day" To Be
Held January 29
On January 29, 2005, the City

Bulldogs Beat
Buccaneers In Girl's
Varsity Basketball
By Jason Avery
The fans filed into the stands
of the Bell High School Gym-
nasium to witness what would
be a great night for Bulldog
fans. The sound of cheers re-
sounding through the stands, the
echo of fans cheering on their
team, was evident as the two
squads took the court to do bat-
tle.
The game started off com-
petitive as Branford and Bell
both struggled to get points
early. Both teams showed great
poise on defense as each held
the other scoreless until
Branford guard #12 made a
great jump shot with 3:24 left in
the first quarter. Branford held
the lead, but not for long. Bell
took the ball down the court on
the ensuing possession and

worked it under the basket to #4
Courtney Mauldin to tie the
game at two a piece. Later in
the first, still tied at two, Bell
displayed great ball control and
hit Courtney Mauldin again for
another lay-up to take their first
lead of the game. Branford
looked to tie up the game again,
but as they took it to the lane the
ball was stolen by Courtney
Mauldin and #21 Jessica Sau-
erman made a beautiful lay-up
on a break away to build Bell's
lead to a 6-2 advantage. As the
quarter progressed Branford

guard #15 hit another shot, and
Bell's Center Courtney Mauldin
scored another four points to'
give Bell a 4-10 lead at the end
of the first-quarter.
The second quarter started off
with Branford scoring and cut-
ting the Bell lead to four. As
Bell took it down the court they
looked to none other than
Courtney Mauldin who scored
again. At this point she had ten
of Bell's 12 points. Branford
would then go on a 7-0 run in-
cluding points by #15, and #20
to give Branford a 13-12 lead
midway through the second
quarter. Bell couldn't convert
on their possession and #20
from Branford took it down to
the other side of the court and
hit a tremendous shot to build
their lead to a 15-12 advantage.
Bell would fight back before the
half as Bell guard #15 took a
great jump shot to cut the
Branford lead to one. Branford
would, make two shots, and Bell
would add one right before
halftime to give the Buccaneers
a 19-16 lead at the break..
In the third quarter Bell
would start to take over. It
would start off with Bell guard
#15 making a tremendous shot,
and then .on their next posses-
sion Courtney Mauldin hitting a
lay-up to take back their lead
20-19. Later in the third with
the Bulldogs leading 21-19 #10
Fran Coarsey pulled up from
behind the arch and drained a
gorgeous three pointer to add to
Bell's lead making it 24-19
midway through the third. On
the ensuing possession #21 Jes-
sica Sauerman for Bell got free
and hit a nice jump shot to
widen their lead. On their next
trip down the court #15 for Bell
makes a perfect jump shot, then
stole Branford's inbound pass
but couldn't produce points.
After a jump shot by #20 of
Branford, Bell's guard. #5 Amy
Ergle got fouled trying to make
a lay upin the lane. She then
made both free throws to ex-
pand the Bulldog lead to a 23-
30 margin.
In the fourth and final quarter
it would be much of the same
story, as Branford couldn't pull
themselves out of the hole they
dug in the third. It started. off
with Courtney Mauldin (who
had.a sensati0o,an, night) ittingi,.
laN -up to make the.Bell.lead.-23-
32. After #10 from B'rianiord "
answered with a jump shot, #5
Amy Ergle drove from outside
Sthe arch and into the lane for a
great off balance shot. As the
quarter progressed, the Bulldogs
didn't slow down and ended up
winning the game by a score of
43-32 over the Branford Bucca-
neers.
The lady Bulldogs will close
out their home schedule with a
rival game against the Trenton
Tigers on Friday January 28th at
6:00 p.m. Be sure to go out and
support the Bulldogs and Tigers
depending on your alma mater.

Bonnie needs a good home.
She is a West Virginia Moun-
tain Feist, weighs about 35
pounds and has a personality

with her and give her plenty of
attention.

canes and county offices being
closed during the normal dead-

age and pay the applicable

ness on January 31, 2005. Cov-
erage will not begin until 30
days after the application for

mined based on the number of

Bits & Pieces From
The Joyful Heart

Of North Gilchrist
County
My grandmother, who my
sister and I called "Mo, Mo,"
always told me to remember
that no matter how bad you
think you have it, there are
those who .are worse off than,

you...so be thankful.
And through the years that
good old fashioned philosophNy
has gotten me through a lot of
rough times, disappointments,
heartache, and pain, both physi-
cal and emotional. And I am
proud to say that I have tried,
although not always having
been successful, to instill that
same bit of wisdom to my six
children as they were growing
up and yes, even to this day.

Now I tell you this to remind
you that no matter how well you
may have learned the lesson,
there are times in our lives
when we lose all sense of per-
spective and don't care that
there are others worse off than
us.
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
was just such a time. I had for-
tified myself with a steaming
cup of hot chocolate and my
morning devotions. I had ap-
propriately layered my body in
jeans, a T-shirt, a sweater and a
jacket. I had gathered my craft
materials together and was
ready to embark on my early
morning journey to meet with
the other Joyful Hearts.
I threw open the door and was
greeted with an icy blast of
frigid air that was capable of
sending chills down the spine of
an abominable snowman.. Did I
feel less cold because people in'
Ohio, Indiana and far too many
states to mention were fighting
for their lives in below 00
weather? No, I did not. And
when I made it to my 'car and
quickly jumped inside to escape
a wind that cut through my "ap-
propriate" layers, like a knife,
did I think.about those where
the wind was producing factors
of-450 below zero? No I did,
not. And once in my car with.
motor running and heater turned
on, did I find the ice on my'
windshield just a slight incon-
venience when compared to icy
roads and six foot snow drifts?
Again, no I did not.,
I turned off the motor and
with the keys in mN freezing,
hands went back to the house
for water to un-freeze my wind-
shield. As I-stood in the freez-
ing cold trying to get the ice off
and the wipers: going so the .
water wouldn't freeze up again.
I started to laugh. Wh\ ? Be-
cause I knew somewhere in Mi-
ami, where it was in the 50s,
someone who had a grand-.
mother like mine was saying,
"Yea, it might be too cold to go
to the beach today, but at least
we don't have to scrape ice off
our windshields like they do in
North Central Florida." Enough
said.
And that's the way my day
started as 20 Joyful Heart
Quilters and Crafters met to
bring the warmth of laughter
and lo\e to one another on such
Sa cbld'~ rihtr day. '' .':
Dina Lynn had made up our
new membership list. \which
now: consists of 26. members.
She also distributed our 2005
calendar and our Calling Tree
list, to be used to communicate
information in between meet-
ings, as necessary. If you did
not receive any or all of these,
please, see Diana for your cop-
ies.
Evelyn Wood. Ann Mangone
and Rita Simcoe all gathered
round the quilt frame that has
been moved out of the smaller
room so those quilting will not
be left out of all the conversa-
tions and frivolity.
Alice Binns and a group of
her Swedish weavers, Jackie
Moore,. Mary Lou, and Heidi
Kamp all settled do wn to work
without hesitation. Ann Taylor
has finished her Swedish
weaving and is back to embroi-
dering once again. Paulene
Martin was busy crocheting tiny
baby hats for the hospital and
Ruth Wilkerson was crocheting

a lap robe that will go to a
nursing home.
Afghans seem to be almost as
popular as Swedish weaving as
Marvine Deer, Elaine Nemeth,
Barbara Myrick and Pat Luka
all were busy as bees working
on ones they had already
started. Maxine Hale was
painting an eagle buf got side-
tracked as she wasn't happy
with the tree branch the eagle
was standing on...looked great
to me. Geneva Carver was just
happy to be visiting with every-
one and watching others being
busy., And that's what's so
great about being a Joyful
Heart...you don't always have
to be doing something...it's
okay to just be. And all God's
children said, "Amen."
I know that Lu Roi:\land tin-'
ished her Swedish weaving but
for the life of me I can't recall
what she was up to Wednesday.
You know those "senior mo-
ments" just sneak up on a body.
Cathy Strom and I sorted out
and hung up Valentine decora-
tions 'cause it will be. here be-
fore you know it. Of course I'm
not overly concerned 'cause as
you well know my Christmas
decorations are still up. Well, I
don't light the outside lights
anymore but I have to admit my
Christmas tree still makes me
sigh a big sigh \when I light it.
Our next meeting will be our.
"Make It and Take It" day,
Wednesday, January 26''. Heidi
will show us how to make a;
Valentine wall hanging. Maybe
by then the weather w\ ill be just
a tad \warmer...we hope. Our
next regular meeting will be
Wednesday, February2nd. We.
hope that everyone will be well
and able to be with us.
I am writing this on Sunday,
January 23rd. Coming home
from church at 12:30 p.m. the
temperature, according to my
car was 40. As I passed by
fields of horses, cows and goats,
I wanted to find \arm, barns
filled with haN for all of them...
however, they didn't seem to
mind the cold or the wind. It's
Shard for me to believe that be-
cause, believe you me, I nearly
froze between the car and the
house and I like it cold. I
wanted to put little sweaters and
ear muffs on the birds all puffed
up like little balls sitting on
thbge cold bare branches., Don't
Ya| 0IPPpo6e their,{l)At JASq,,
were freezing? It's a wonder
that any of them stick around
here. You'd think they'd all fly
way, way south for the winter.
Oh, well I guess we have to
trust God's plan that all's right
with the world and be grateful
and thankful. Because you
know what? "Mo, Mo" was
right. No matter how bad off
you think you are, there "is" al-
ways someone who would trade
places with you. Think about it.
Until next time,
A Joyful Heart

Chaplain: Marilyn Williams 352-463-7031
The Saturday meeting brought out several good ideas for Post 91 and
our local community. The program was brought by Legionnaire 'Murph'
Everette and Dan Taylor, members of the Gilchrist County Historical
Society. The Society is making; plans for the coming Memorial Day this
May. The plans may include a parade, and Post 91. will plan to be
involved. Our Finance Officer, Major Stroupe, is also one of the
Historical Society's members and will act as our communications link
with the Society. Our goals are similar in some areas and it will be easy
to work with them. One of the suggestions-was to get our veterans to tell
what it was like for them during the wars, where they went, what their
jobs were and such as that. Plus, if they came from Gilchrist County,
what was it like here at that time. All this information will be shared and
will give a view of our county's history. If you have the opportunity and
time, 'why not give an interview with the Historical Society or maybe
even Post 91? There are so many interesting stories in the lives of our
Legionnaires, and these stories may never get told any other vay. It has
been said that those who do not learn their history are doomed to repeat
it. The schools today do not- have the resources to teach about our
Nation's wars. In some cases, the information is just plain wrong about
what happened and why. Just as the Smithsonian wanted to use the B-29
Enola Gay in an apparent apology to Japan raised the ire of many of
America's veterans with the slant of their ideas, so do some of the books
that are used to teach our history and geography. If the veterans get
involved in the schools as a guest speaker about the war that person was
in or has studied at length to know what happened, the students as well as
the veteran will be educated. The American Legion SHOULD be the
point-man for this operation. If we don't teach our children and
grandchildren, who will? Someone who was never there?
Now a note on.MEMBERSHIP: We are on our membership drive'for
the new year. For all eligible veterans, former members and members that
have had problems, it is time to join or rejoin and return to the roost. Post
91 is a progressive post moving in the direction of renewed help for our
veterans and increased involvement is this great community of otrs.
Please HELP US HELP YOU and get on the hay wagon to success. We
NEED YOUR help. Contact Dean Williams, (386)454-8143 or send an
e-mail to deandeana@msn.com. with your question. One of the ideas
discussed at the Saturday meeting was to change the meeting day to
Saturday morning. Either an 8:00 breakfast open to anyone and have the
business meeting at 10:00, or have the meeting at 10:00 and enjoy a meal
around 11:30. The idea is to make it easier to attend our meetings. Some
folks are not supposed to drive at night, but could make the Saturday
meeting and get a chance to be involved in Legion business once again. A
letter will be sent to the membership soon with the question "do we want
to change the day of our meeting" or do we just stay the same. Please
return that information as soon as possible so the Executive Board can
make their decision. Remember, this is YOUR Post. Get involved, and see
what we can do!
Another way to get involved is through the Sons of the American
Legion. Post 91's SAL (Sons of the American Legion) should start it's
new charter next month. Be a charter member and get involved. Contact
Post 91 Adjutant, Dean Williams for more information. If you are not
eligible for the American Legion and are a male descendant of a
Legionnaire, the SAL would be the ideal organization to be part of, to
help veterans and the youth of our community. The dues for the first year

Sons of Confederate
Veterans Lee &
Jackson's Birthdays
(Continued from Page One)
was further entertained and edu-
cated by Mr. Marion "Sid"
Mayer, from Gainesville and
Professor of Civil War History
with Santa Fe Community Col-
lege. He told us his story of
"The Good, The Bad and the
very, very Ugly." Mr. Mayer
explained that General Lee was
one of the all-time best Generals
of the Civil War. General Lee
resigned his position with the
federal government once Vir-
ginia withdrew from the Union.
He then offered his services to
the State of Virginia. This sin-
gle act made a huge impact on
the war. Then there was his
story of the Ugly, a man by the
name of Ben Butler, a General
for the Union Army. He was
brutal to most, but especially
terrible toward women. He sent
Eugenia Phillips (who earned
her own place in Civil War his-
tory), to Ship Island, an island
that housed individuals with
yellow fever. She was sent
there for allegedly laughing
during a Yankee funeral proces-
sion. She was released after
three and a half months. Her
family then fled to Confederate
territory. Last he told the story
of the very, very Ugly, the story
of "The Battle of the Crater."

The short version of the story is
the Union side, led by generals
Burnside, Ledly, Wilcox and
Ferrero, were to take control of
Petersburg, Virginia. They
were very close to their enemy
so the plan was to dig a tunnel
under the Union/Confederate
lines to the Confederate battery.
They would then fill it with
black powder and blow it up.
The tunnel was 511 feet long.
However they only received
half the black powder they re-
quested, and were given poor
fuses. After two attempts to ig-
nite the powder it did explode
killing 278 confederate soldiers
as they slept and creating a huge
crater. The 15,000 Union
troops were supposed to rush
across the field but instead
stood gawking at the crater.
Confederate reinforcements
worked quickly and in the end
the Union soldiers ended up
being slaughtered in their own
crater.
Camp 770 gave a special
award to Annette and Skee Hut-
son for all their hard work on
the camp's recent events. They
were an asset during the Bell
Christmas Parade, in which
Camp 770 took first place.
They set up a Christmas party
for the camp at their home and
they were the chairpersons in
setting up for this birthday din-
ner in Newberry. Camp 770
also received a special thank
you from William Wing Loring
Camp 1316 in St Augustine.

Camp 1316 thanked them for all
the support they have received
from Camp 770.
The evening was a big suc-
cess and everyone enjoyed
themselves. For more informa-
tion on the Sons of Confederate
Veterans please call Com-
mander Clement Lindsey at

Gilchrist County
Grandmother
Seriously Injured In
Mobile Home Fire
Wednesday Evening
(Continued from Page One)
he' was playing near the fire-
place, After the child rushed to
advise his 73-year-old grand-
mother of the fire, she rushed
into the living area to find the
fire up in the roof of the struc-
ture. Mrs. Norris grabbed her
grandson and rushed to escape
the burning structure. She fell
and injured her leg then her
husband returned to the scene
and helped get her and the child
out of the fire.
The Bell Volunteer Fire De-
partment was the first depart-
ment at the scene. The Spring
Ridge and Trenton departments
were called to assist in the
structure fire that was com-
pletely involved when the fire-
fighters arrived to the area. The
Southeast. and Spring Ridgg fie
departments : re called 4 o the
scene to assist with additional
water supply. Fifteen firefight-
ers responded with nine units to
the scene. As the firefighters ar-
rived, the fire had already begun
to spread to the grasses around
the structure.
The Gilchrist County Emer-
gency Medical Service arrived
on the scene and began treating
Mrs. Norris for the leg injury
and severe burns. The EMS
unit transported Mrs. Norris to
Shands at the University of
Florida where she was treated
for a fractured leg and burns to
over 25 percent of her body.
Her grandson was also treated
for minor burs he received.
The investigation of this fire
determined it began as an acci-
dent. The firefighters sprayed
9,000 gallons of water on this
fire to keep the flames from
spreading to nearby structures.
The Gilchrist County Com-
mission discussed the need for
volunteers to join and become
involved in the fire department
in the county
"We are in a crisis regarding
volunteers in our rural area fire
departments," reported Delight
Curtis from Southeast Volunteer
Fire Department. She explained
to the Gilchrist County Com-
mission in their Monday eve-
ning meeting that' board mem-
bers need to get involved in
their districts to show the resi-
dents the need for additional
firefighters in the rural depart-
ments.

Scouts As Stewards
Of Local National
Wildlife Refuge
The Lower Suwannee NWR
had some visitors from
Gainesville recently very
helpful visitors, not to mention
ambitious.
Cullen Roberts, a 13 year-old
member of Gainesville's Troop
432 decided he wanted to make
an everlasting difference; he.and
his troop ,would strive for the
William T. Hornaday Award for
distinguished service to .conser-
vation. His mother being the
president of the Friends of the
Refuge at the Lower Suwannee
NWR approached refuge man-
ager, Ken Litzenberger, for the
perfect project.
The 41 scouts were accompa-
nied by a support group of
twenty parents and leaders.

New Red Grouper,
Dolphin And Wahoo
Rules Now In Effect
The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission
(FWC) reminds anglers that
new rules are now in effect to
manage red grouper, dolphin
and wahoo.
The daily recreational bag
limit for red grouper now is two
fish per person (within the five-
fish aggregate grouper limit) in
Gulf of Mexico state waters.
This limit also applies in Gulf
federal waters.
Florida state waters extend
nine nautical miles offshore in
the gulf, and federal waters ex-
tend beyond state waters.
The new limit on recreational
red grouper harvest is intended
to help rebuild red grouper
stocks in the gulf. The mini-
mum size limit for red grouper
remains at 20 inches total
length, and the daily recrea-
tional bag limit in Atlantic
Ocean state waters is still five
fish per person (under the five-
grouper aggregate limit).
In addition, new management
rules are in place for dolphin
and wahoo. These rules are in-
tended to be consistent with re-
cently implemented regulations
for dolphin and wahoo in At-
lantic Ocean federal waters,
which were developed to pre-
vent over-fishing of these spe-
cies. The FWC has also imple-
mented other measures to
protect dolphins adti wahoo ii
state waters.
The new rules: Designate
dolphin and wahoo as restricted
species; Establish a 20-inch fork
length minimum size limit for
all harvest of dolphin on Flor-
ida's Atlantic coast; Establish a
statewide maximum recreational
harvest limit of 60 dolphin per
vessel (except ten dolphin per
paying passenger on for-hire
vessels); Establish a statewide
daily two-fish recreational bag
limit and a 500-pound commer-
cial daily vessel limit for wa-
hoo; Require commercial ves-
sels, harvesting dolphin and
wahoo on the Atlantic coast, to
have a federal permit; Prohibit
the sale of recreationally caught
dolphin or wahoo (except quali-
fied for-hire vessels may sell
recreationally harvested dol-
phin); and Require all dolphin
and wahoo to be landed in a
whole condition.
Other FWC rules that con-
tinue to apply for dolphin in-
clude prohibiting the commer-
cial harvest and sale of dolphin
less than 20 inches fork length,
a ten-fish daily bag limit for rec-
reational harvest of dolphin; and
limiting dolphin harvest to hook
and line, long lines (outside of
state waters) and spearing.

Under the direction of Refuge
Forester Daniel Barrand, the
group planted 6,000 native
pines over 12 acres for a refuge
restoration project. "The long
leaf pines will restore commer-
cial pine plantations planted by
the previous owners into a more
suitable habitat for the indigeo
nous wildlife," reported Bar-
rand.
Having brought bag lunches,
the youths worked throughout
the day when other kids were
playing video games and walk-
ing the mall. "Conservation and
the Boy Scouts of America have
been partners for a long time.
We're proud of Cullen's part in
scouting heritage," said Scout
Master Bradley Pollitt.
Youth volunteerism is ex-
tremely admirable, but unfortu-
nately rare. "Understanding and
practicing sound stewardship of
natural resources like the plant-
ing of these magnificent native
pines can only strengthen
scouting's emphasis on re-
specting the outdoors," added
Litzenberger.
