Mr. Lappe was last seen driving a tan 1985 GMC conversion van, Florida license tag G65 4JW. He is described as 6' 0" tall, 150 pounds, date of birth 6/27/45. Anyone having information on Mr. Lappe's whereabouts is strongly encouraged to call the Levy County Sheriff's Department at (352) 486-5111. The Florida Highway Patrol reported that two adults riding on a 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle were killed Sunday afternoon when they crashed into a 2004 Ford that was mak- ing a "U" turn on US 129, three miles north of Chiefland. Robert Douglas, 57, of High Springs, and Diane A. Perez, 55, also of High Springs, were pronounced dead at the scene by Levy County Emergency Medi- cal Services after they were both ejected from the motorcycle they were riding. Bill J. Lockwood, 87, of Al- buquerque, New Mexico, was 'driving a 2004 Ford, traveling northbound' in front of the Harley Davidson driven by Robert Douglas. Diane A. Perez was a passenger on the motorcycle at the time of the accident. Lockwood was re- ported to have pulled off the edge of the shoulder of US 129 and began to make a U-turn when he failed to see the on- coming traffic. Douglas was reported to have veered to the left in an attempt to miss the truck, but was unable to, and in- stead slammed into the front left side of the truck as the truck was across the northbound lane of US 129. Upon impact, the motorcycle rotated counter clockwise and came to rest fac- ing south in the southbound lane of US 129. The Ford left the roadway on the west shoulder and came to rest facing north- west. The driver and passenger of the motorcycle were ejected from the vehicle. The driver of the Ford was not reported to have sustained injury in this accident. Corporal Virgil P. Sandlin and Corporal John Gourley are conducting the investigation in this accident. Charges involv- ing this accident are pending the investigation being finalized. Taylor Langford, left of Bell FFA exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion Dairy cow.

Gilchrist County Continues To Negotiate Gas Line Extension With Florida Rock Ily John M. Ayers The Gilchrist County Commission was brought up-to- date by County Attorney John McPbers. i on Monday, March 7th involving a natural gas pipeline extension. In the first regular monthly meeting the board discussed the continued negotiations of the proposed four-inch natural gas pipeline along CR-232 east to the Alachua County line. The commission, in a February meeting, requested that their attorney Mr. McPherson draft general conditions to be used for the guidelines of the Right-of-Way Permit. The attorney presented the board with 24 General Conditions and eight Special Conditions to be reviewed for consideration by the board for approval. The attorney also submitted a copy of these guidelines to Greg Tilden, a representative of Golden Energy Services, the consulting group that is representing Florida Rockfinvolving the Right-of- Way Use Permit. The consulting firm submitted a revised draft of conditions that they want the county commission to consider regarding the proposed Right- of-Way Permit. The board took action to approve four of six proposed conditions submitted to McPherson from Greg Tilden. These conditions are as follows: 1. We can limit the use to a single four-inch pipe and but we must have the ability to deliver gas to other users. 2. We need a term for which the pipe will be able to remain in place without being moved at our expense. The board agreed the county would pay the cost of moving the pipe within the first 20 years after construction is completed. After that time period Florida Rock would pay the cost of moving the line. 3.The active construction site will be several miles long from surveying crew to the final restoration. The permit will be located in one spot which will most likely be some distance from where other work is occurring. 4.The cost of the inspection needs to be specified and should be included in the fee Florida Rock is paying for the permit. This is what'. $10,000 is covering. Of the guidelines proposed by Florida Rock, these two proposals were denied by the board of commissioners. Florida Rock requested a provision that the rental fee be eliminated if they add customers in Gilchrist County and become a regulated utility. Florida Rock was seeking a provision that the rental fee of $12,000 a year plus 1.5 percent increase annually would be paid in lieu of ad valorum property taxes in Gilchrist County. A motion by Commissioner Tommy Langford was made to approve conditions one to four and deny conditions five and six. Commissioner Kenrick Thomas. gave a second to the motion and the board voted 5-0 in favor of the motion. Mr. McPherson told the board that he would be back in touch with the consultant representing Florida Rock involving the board's action.

Grand Jury Clears Levy Deputies In Shooting By Cindy-Jo Ayers Two Levy County deputies were cleared by the Grand Jury in a case where a Levy County man was shot and killed during an arrest recently. The Grand Jury met on Monday, March 14. STheir findings in the case were that the two officers had acted appropriately. The officers involved were Deputy Kerry Runnels and Sergeant Danny Turner. The incident occurred on February 17, 2005 in a neighborhood near Bronson. The officers were attempting to arrest Matthew Lee Arthur, 44, when Mr. Arthur pulled out a ,22 rifle from his vehicle. Once Deputy Runnels saw the weapon he discharged his weapon three times. The first shot hit the doorframe of the vehicle breaking the glass. The next two shots hit Arthur under the arm entering his chest. Mr. Arthur was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred after a somewhat extended struggle where Arthur was tazed and escaped twice from the officers. Both officers were put on paid leave until the Florida Department of Law Enforcement could complete a through investigation. Both officers have returned to work at the Levy County Sheriff's Office. Jo Buckles Displays Compassion And Is Selected Character Council Personality Of The Month By Geneva Cornwell This personality for the month of March uses a slogan from Zig Ziglar seminars, which has helped her get where she is today. The slogan? "You will get where you want if you help other people to get where they need to be." Mrs. Jo Buckles is a regis- tered dietician and made her way up the ladder of success by practicing COMPASSION to- ward others. She is presently the administrator of Ayers Health and Rehabilitation Cen- ter in Trenton, Florida. She readily admits her belief that "one person can make a differ- ence and if you're not that per- son, then you can steer someone to the right person so the indi- vidual's life will be improved." In 1982, while attending the University of Florida, Mrs. Buckles completed her intern- ship right in the Ayers' kitchen. From there she moved into con- sultation work and then in Oc- tober 1989 she was given the position she holds today in overseeing the work of 145 em- ployees. She lives in Gilchrist County with her husband, Ste- yen, and two sons, Anderson, who attends Bell High School, and Schiefer, who attends Trenton Middle School. Jo says, "We all have busy Jo Buckles lives and it's essential that we make ourselves stop and (show COMPASSION) to someone else and both people will be re- warded." This sensitive lady believes that it's a must to "be a good listener!" She gave an ex- ample of her work in the Rotary Club as a "cheerleader," an As- sistant Governor for the local district. In showifig COMPASSION, "in always looking for the best in people and making them aware of it," is the key to success in life, as far as Jo is concerned. In demon- strating COMPASSION toward others, Mrs. Buckles feels that a' friend then can be won for a lifetime. As an administrator, Jo re- cently initiated the use of the monthly Corporate "Character Bulletin" published by the In- stitute of Character Cities. The "bulletin" is used in conjunction with a monthly staff meeting to allow employees to enhance personal character growth and to assist the improvement of character with fellow peers. Jo Buckles is one of many in our beloved county who are proving from day-to-day that "a County of Character is a County that Cares." Gatornationals Are March 17-20 In Gainesville By: Skoal Racing Funny Car Driver Tommy Johnson, Jr. The NHRA visits Gainesville Raceway this weekend and I have never been so eager to get out on the track. It's no secret that the Skoal Racing team struggled a bit last year, how- ever, I had a good feeling com- ing into 2005 with a new slate and it proved to be justified as we won the season-opening race in Pomona, California.

Ayers Fishing on the Gulf of Mexico this past week was both confusing and rewarding. Confusing because the tides and the sea conditions were both good, but the weather of 370 at 7:00 a.m. had a bite to it. The trip was exciting as the three of us caught three amberjack which weighed almost 100 pounds. The target species of grouper was a challenge to say the least. When we left McGriff Channel before 7:00 a.m. Thursday, the tide was running out and it was extremely low. As we passed by the outside bar in the channel, I began to trim my motor up in hopes of being able to run out the channel without being caught. As we reached the third marker from the end, I felt the motor begin to run aground, we were lucky that our speed kept us from being caught. If we had waited until 8:30 a.m. when the tide was forecast to be low, we would have never gotten out of the channel. i W"e -searched for water with temperatures abo'e 600 before 4we:began to wet our trolling baits. We should have searched for temperatures above 65, because we had little to no success with the trolling baits. We came across some of the best structure on the Big Bend and stopped to exercise our muscles and see just how many amberjack we could catch. The excitement, was fast as we caught our three keeper fish in less than 30 minutes. I also boxed a small, but keeper size gag grouper at that stop. As the weather warmed just after noon, we decided to take our chances and move on to some structure in deeper water. We fished and caught black fish, pink mouth and some smaller amberjack, but we were unable to catch anymore keeper size grouper. I have talked with several other fishermen who have much more experience that I on catching grouper offshore in cold water conditions. It just seems that when the weather is cold, the grouper bite is often tough unless you are on the fish with the right bait when they begin to bite.

This nation is great because our founding fathers acknowl- edged there is "A Creator" when they wrote these inspiring words of truth, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". These same 56 men who af- firmed at the beginning of our founding document also af- firmed these words at the end of the same. "For the support of this declaration with firm reli- .ance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our for- tunes and our sacred honor." Just. look to the past since we have allowed God to be taken from our schools. Instead of the Ten Commandments (correction and character), they have been replaced with three other "C"s such as condoms, confusion and Columbine. It is time that we Christians stand together as the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independ- ence did when they pledged to each other their lives, their for- tunes and there sacred honor. It is the right course of action - Proverbs 14:34: "Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a re- proach to any people. Mayor Pete Randolph Trenton A Letter To The Editor Dear John, As I read the Gilchrist County Journal this week, I saw the ar- ticle that covered the Alumni Baseball Game and noted that a particular fact was reported in- correctly. Although it was nice to be mistaken for having, hit a home run to win a ballgame, I can' take credit for something that didn't happen. 'I didn't come close to hitting a ball out of the infield much less out of the park. I did score the game iining rih ho\\ever to put the Old Micn" up on the youngsters 6 to 5. The game was a lot of fun; it was great to see some of the folks I hadn't seen in a while and to play the game one more time. It was also nice to have Coach Tommy Malloy with us in the dugout and have him coaching us up again. Thanks again to both the cur- rent and former coaches and players of THS, organizers of the event and to the fans that braved the cool temperatures and came out to support the baseball program at THS. Respectfully, Robbie "Not a Slugger" Beach Gatornationals Are March 17-20 In Gainesville (Continued from Page One) standing and hope to move up. The win at Pomona meant a lot to everyone on the Skoal Racing team, especially our team owner, the legendary Don "The Snake" Prudhomme, be- cause it gave him his 50h career win as an owner. Add that to the 49 he earned as a driver and it puts him at 99 total wins -- just one shy of the 100-win milestone that only two active drivers have reached (John Force and Warren Johnson). We're hoping to help him reach that mark sooner than later and there'd be no better time than this weekend at one of the NHRA's biggest races. Gatornationals has always been known for two things: Fast times and a great crowd atmosphere. Gainesville Race- way was the site of the first-ever 260-, 270- and 300 mph Top Fuel runs and in 2000, eight of ten national records were set in the professional classes. Per- haps it's that potential for his- tory to be made each year that helps drive the tens of thou- sands of fans to the track each day of Gatornationals race weekend. Hopefully history will be made this weekend, too. I've yet to win at Gainesville Race- way during my professional ca- reer and no time would be better than this weekend to give Snake his 100th career win. There should be a lot of fast times turned in this weekend and I fully expect the Skoal Racing Blue Monte Carlo to be right there near the top. Gilchrist County Land Transactions Lucy J.

Boating Accident Claims Life Of Callahan Man The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is investigating a.boat- ing accident that occurred Sun- day on the St. Johns River, claiming the life of a Callahan resident. Steven Morris, 53, was pro- nounced dead at the Baptist Medical Center, Beaches Branch, after being pulled from the i^ater Sunday rhorning The operator, James Ryals, 40, and another occupant, Mi-, chael Burns, 40, both from' Callahan, were not injured. The three were fishing in their vessel, a 1972 18' Mako, which was anchored adjacent to the south jetty of the St. Johns River. A wave came over the transom. A second wave swamped the vessel and it sank, according to FWC investigators. Burns swam to the jetty rocks and was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. Ryals grabbed a seat cushion and was rescued by another fisherman. Morris floated away from the vessel toward the ocean. He was pulled from the water and trans- ported to the medical center. The investigation is continu- ing, according to the FWC. WhatThe Bible Says About Peter (Kent Heaton) The prophet Isaiah said of the Lord, "Come now, and let us reason together" (Isaiah 1:18). This spirit of reasoning should always be among those who seek truth and understanding of the word of God. I appreciate the "Letter to the Edi- tor" [March 10, 2005] and the spirit of reasoning together the things of eternal importance. The people of Berea did not receive the teachings of the apostles without an investigation (Acts 17:11). We must all have that same zeal. Mrs. Riordan addressed an article written about Jesus' statement of building His church. Let us reason together what similarities and differences there are in this subject. In paragraph two, we must point out the quotation of Matthew 16 is in- correct. The quote given: "You are Peter, the Rock, and on this Rock I will build my Church" is not the correct rendition of scripture. The Holy Spirit did not add the phrase, "the Rock" after Peter's name. The accurate reading should be, "thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18). The rock Jesus is referring to is not Peter but the confession Peter made that Jesus was the son of God. This is what Jesus built His church upon (1 Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 2:19-22). The implication is made that "Peter is to be the head of Christ's church on earth. Peter was the first 'Pope, and the other apostles were the first bishops. Every pope, bishop, and priest down through the centuries can trace his authority in a direct line from Peter, the one on whom Christ 'built the Church.'" The same Peter of which Mrs. Riordan speaks wrote in his first epistle, "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God" (1 Peter 4:11). There are no references from the Bible that support her claims. I assume the reason she put Pope in italics is because she also recognizes that the title is never found in God's word. If Christ wanted men to take on the title of "Pope, why is it left out of the Bible? The answer is found in Matthew 23:9 and Revelation 22:18-19. What does the Bible teach about Peter? Mat- thew tells us that Peter was a married man. "And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever" (Mat- thew 8:14). We also find that Peter had children. In 1 Peter 5:1 Peter refers to himself as a "fellow eld- er." He is writing to elders that Paul describes in Titus 1:5-9. Paul tells Titus the reason he left him in Crete was to appoint elders and gives the quali- ties of these men who would be ELDERS or BISH- OPS. In verse 5, Paul refers to these men as ELD- ERS and calls them BISHOPS in verse 7. An elder and a bishop are one in the same person accord- ing to the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21). In the list of qualities found in Titus 1 (and also 1 Timothy 3), an elder or bishop must have children! Peter was married and had children according to the Bible. Consider the passage of 1 Peter 5 again. Peter only refers to himself as a "fellow elder" and never refers to himself in any role such as the head of the church. There are three passages in the Bible that use the words "head" and "church" together and Peter is never mentioned in any of the three (Ephe- sians 1:22; 5:23; Colossians 1:18). If Peter Was the head of the church on earth, why did he never say he was? How could Paul rebuke him if he took that role (see Galatians 2:11-21)? The Bible says Christ is the only head and no man on earth can take that role. Mrs. Riordan asks: "How old is the Church of Christ denomination? When was it begun, and by whom?" The answer is in the Bible. Romans 16:16 says, "The churches of Christ salute you." Does the Bible mention the Roman Catholic Church by name? An honest examination of scripture will find it missing. The church of Christ began in Acts 2 and has continued until this day. It was begun by Jesus Christ who is the ONLY head. Its pattern of authority, worship, teaching and doctrine are found in the Bible not the "historical records of the church." When we reason together, let us give book, chapter and verse. Next week we will study what the Bible teaches about Bishops. Write to us with your questions and comments.

From The Bookshelves Of The Bell Library The book I reviewed this week for the beginning reader was The Best Easter Hunt Ever, by John Speirs. Five children were going on an Easter egg hunt. They hunt eggs in the garden, the country, and throughout the village. As you read the book you are given an opportunity to find the eggs too. This is a sample of the selection of books Bell Library has about Easter that you may enjoy. Have'you ever wondered how things work? The junior age book I read is entitled How Things Work. It explain what holds a plane in the sky. It also tells us how glass bottles are made, what force pulls the roller coaster along. These are just a few subjects discussed. The adult novel I read was Late Bloomer, written by. Fern Michaels. A murder occurred about 15 years before and one girl was accused of causing the death of her friend.

American Legion Family Day Highlights The blessingswere abounding as the Legionnaires of Post 91 banded together to put on the best rip-roarin' "Spring Fair and Family Fun Day" they had ever had. The sky was blue! It was a warm, sunny day! Parents, as. well as grandparents, came with kids to give them 'a chance to get their faces painted by "uLuu" the clown and laugh at the silly balloon shapes which her husband "BooBoo" made. Many of the kids, and "adult" kids, too, took a ride in one of Engineer Mike's train cars on the "Little Smokey Express." Yes, Saturday, March 12th was a fine day! Chefs Dr. Bob and Mr. Cecil (both members of the Post).spent their time greet- ing customers who purchased their wonderful 100'percent pure beef hamburgers, with de- licious trimmings, like roasted tomato slices and grilled onions marinated in root beer. Yum! The cookies and muffins sold at the "Bake Sale" table were mouth-watering. Many of the "lunch" buyers took advantage of the warm day by having a "picnic" right there on the grounds, and enjoying every minute of it. The "Sponge Bob Bounce" made a great hit with the kids who like jumping and rolling 'around. And the "Bob Ball .Toss" gave everyone who played a prize. Even Mr. Charlie and Mr. Bob, who manned the .booths, were observed chewing bubble gum and sucking on tootsie-roll pops! Carol Darkins of "Carol's Music Ministry" shared many delightful and toe-tapping Gos- pel music songs, There was even time for a sing-a-long. Many people who attended the affair invited Carol to sing at other places. She also enjoyed, as everyone else did, the selec- tion of goods at the indoor Flea Market, held inside the Post building.

This performance is used to judge the band's growth and musical development throughout the course of the year. The students received straight superior ratings from all four of the music judges. The students worked very hard all year long and did not relax with the straight superior awards that they received for marching in October of last year. With the superior rating, the students have qualified for the state band festival during the week of April 18th through 22d. Thank you to everyone involved and thank you for continuing to support the children of the community and all of their suc- cessful endeavors. Character Trait For The Month Of March: "COMPASSION" By Geneva Corwell Even ir the animal world there is a display of COMPASSION, as, described in the following: "Unable to keep up with the herd, sick or injured zebra fall prey to predators. However, rather than leaving weak members behind, the whole herd slows down enough to allow the weak to remain with the herd." But in a fast-paced society, children are prone to overlook those in trouble or assume that someone else will stop to ,help, so by teaching them the five "I Will's" chil- dren learn to display' COMPASSION when needs arise. I will stop to help; listen when others want to talk; give of myresources to help those in need; comfort others with- out regard to race, gender, faith, age or nationality. COMPASSION is. investing whatever is necessary to heal the hurts of others. The oppo- site of COMPASSION is indif- ference. COMPASSION's definition is "suffering with another; hence, sympathy; sor- row for the misfortunes or miseries of another with a de- sire to help; pity and commis- eration." COMPASSION is a cqoit- bioatioj. oft.ne .lO2[ n,, W .m4. , meaning-'' v.hi' a idheywold passio (or pati) meaning "to bear or suffer." The term COMPASSION means liter- ally to "suffer with" those who are hurting. A kind word, a thoughtful gift, a caring touch, or a virtuous act of service are all ways to effectively enter into and share the burdens of others. COMPASSION is like a doctor's care. It invests in the healing process, but it cannot actually heal. It comforts, as- sists, and encourages a hurting friend, but long-term relief is his or her own responsibility. Just as not everyone responds properly to a doctor's care, not everyone responds, kindly to COMPASSION. Some will- ingly receive help, and some do not. Some respond with carelessness or bitterness. Some respond with patience. and cooperation. The latter frequently experience prompt and effective healing while the former see their wounds fester and grow. COMPASSION is helping others heal their hurts. Sym- pathy is seeing someone's pain. Empathy is feeling someone's. pain. COMPASSION is relieving someone's pain. Compassion- ate leadership sees every need as important.: It's as the fol- Slowing words relate: "Time is a treasure. The richer the in- vestment, the richer the out- come. The earlier the invest- ment, the greater the dividend." (Anonymous) With each passing year, as the residents of Gilchrist County grow in relationship to each other and purpose to be sensitive to others' needs, more and more COMPASSION is observed while each grows in character, young and old alike, for in doing so, we of Gilchrist County demonstrate that a County of Character is a County that Cares." Gilchrist All County Band To Perform March 19 On Saturday, March 19, 2005, the Trenton and Bell bands will combine their tenth through twelfth grade students for a con- cert as the Gilchrist All-County Band performs at the Iris Rob- erts Auditorium in Bell.

The logistics were a little dicey, but it all came together on Saturday and the Executive Committee of Post 91 wishes to thank all of the workers that gave of their time and efforts in this fund-raising task. Carl and Geneva worked hard in getting the signs and advertising out around the area and other members of the Post assisted with their assigned chores, bringing this event to a successful finish. The leftover flea market items were donated to a local charity. The cooking crew of Cecil Robinson and "Dr. Bob" Vaughan, cooked all the hamburgers and nearly ran out of sodas, so there was little problem with left-overs. The LifeSouth bloodmobile had expected at least eight donors and we hit the mark with eight. All in all, this first time did fairly well. Congratulations to those Legionnaires involved. Thursday, March 17th, is not only St Patrick's Day, but also the regular monthly meeting for Post 91. The Post will have a Donation Spaghetti Dinner beginning at 5:30 PM and going until 7:00 PM. with an All-You-Can-Eat Spaghetti Dinner for a Donation of just $5.00. The dinner includes a salad, garlic bread, iced tea or coffee, and a birthday cake dessert. March 17th is the Post 91 celebration of the American Legion birthday. The American Legion is 86 years old this year. Doughboys from the Allied Expeditionary Forces met in Paris, France, in March of 1919, to discuss what could be done to help the American GIs when they returned home. By theend of 1919, the American Legion had been formed, the Preamble and by-laws written and in place, and the American Legion was underway, helping American veterans and their. families. Recently the Department of Defense caved in to the ACLU and declared that no Department offices or bases could sponsor Boy Scout Troops. The Sea Cadets in Yankeetown were affected by this decree and lost their sponsor in the US Coast Guard. They could still meet there, but needed a sponsor. Two of the adult leaders being members of Post 91, contacted Post 91 Finance Officer (and Gilchrist County Service Officer) Major Stroupe for assistance. Major initiated a telephone "emergency E-Board meeting" to discuss this problem. The outcome of this meeting is that now Post 91 is the proud new sponsor of the Sea Cadet Unit in Yankeetown. Major Stroupe should have more details at the meeting Thursday night. The Post is only a few members away from being 100 percent. If you have not paid your dues yet, please do so.

PATRICK'S DAY This 1800's advertisement of a Grand Army first-class six- hole range for coal or wood, I find very unique. I can recall from the time I was a young girl, we had a similar kitchen stove but not as classy as this one. This Grand Army one is elegantly ornamented with nickel and art tile. It has a 20" x 22" length by 18" x 20" width oven which is 11" x 12 1/2" high. The fire door on the end is 7 x 7" x 8-1/2-9" x 22 x 24' length. The fire box for wood is 22" x 24".. Classy indeed!

FANTASTIC FACTS This is how the "pup tent" got its name: These tents are smaller, that other tents and were named by the Union soldiers in the Civil War. When they were intro- duced and the soldiers were told Y6e 'u'sethern', tHOyViappetaTdnaSo much like dog kennels to the men that one of them stuck his head out and began to bark. The idea took hold and soon the whole camp was barking. The tents were therefore called "dog tents" the name soon degener- ating into "pup tents."

RIB TICKLERS I was scribbling my name on the receipt for my credit-card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed the back of my card. Before she could complete the transaction, she said I would have to sign it. "Why?" I asked. "So I can compare the signa- ture on the card with the one on your receipt." Fair enough. I signed it. She picked up the card and the receipt, and studied both signatures. As luck would have it, they matched. A new restaurant opened in our town, so my husband, Wal- ter, and I decided to try it. As the waitress took our order, Walter asked if the coffee was American Legion Hall Available Meetings Parties Weddings & Receptions 386-9535-3711 - I rU Gilchrist Title Services A Security Title Company ,352-463-6403) Gregory V.

"I'm sure it is," answered the waitress. "We've only been open two weeks." I -- A friend spent two hours in the salon getting her hair col- ored, cut and blow-dried. After all that, was it too much to ask to be treated like Cinderella en- tering the ball? Yet when she went to pay, the receptionist said, "Hello, Madam, who is your appointment with today?" A co-worker was beside him- self. He was expecting an im- portant business call, but his phone wasn't receiving incom- ing calls. He phoned the tech- nical department, but no one an- swered. So he sent this urgent e-mail: "Could you please give me a call; my telephone doesn't work." I walked for miles at night along the beach, composing bad blank verse and searching end- lessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the dark- ness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me. "I fear that one day I'll meet God, He'll sneeze, and I won't know what to say."

What a wonderful day we had with the Triple Crown Quilt Club. Thirty-five ladies and one bus driver came over from The Villages near Leesburg on a big bus and we had a great time. They all went home with new ideas and a quilt package to make and share. We had a big chicken and dumpling dinner with all the trimmings. Goldie made her famous egg custard that all enjoyed. There was so much food to enjoy. We had a friend who traveled from Ocala to get some chicken and other good things. We all learn from each other and look forward to seeing them again. The "Flower of the Month" quilt came out of the frame as well as a "Log Cabin" and next week we will put in two more. The green and white "Log Cabin" comes out next and then we will start on the third one. Last Monday we had Jeffery and ten boys out from Lancaster and on Friday we had Jarrod and six boys out to work. These boys do so much for us and I know without them we wouldn't have a beautiful mu- seum and yard. Lunch was enjoyed with 56 guests and members. From The Desk Of Gilchrist County Sheriff David P.

The Perryman Family, Cranford, Lester, Elizabeth, Seena, Richard, and Rachel The Journal Springhouse Quilter's News The Springhouse Quilters had an exciting meeting day on Tuesday, March 8th. There were 44 regular members and four guests present for the regular meeting. The quilters' house was wall to wall quilters. Even with a large group, the quilters made plenty of room for all the exciting quilted demonstrations, and completed quilted projects. Kay Fales, President, chaired the meeting and was able to lead the members through their meeting from the food and fel- lowship time to the showing and telling of the many completed quilted projects. The-members are working on a community project for 2005; making wheel chair tote bags to be shared with the nursing homes. These are to be given to Alice Gilberts upon completion for distribution in the early fall. The "Chicken" challenge has proved to be an exciting project for the quilt guild. This is a voluntary project. Each mem- ber participating must make a "chicken" project to be given to Alice Gilberts by April 11th. The chickens cannot be pre- printed chickens, they must be designed and made from pieces of fabric. The projects will be judged and the winners an- nounced in May. There will be a first, second and third place winner. Program Chairman, Jan Litz- inger, was unable to attend the meeting. She is in the hospital recovering from heart by-pass surgery. Jan has served as president, as well as, program chairman on many of the com- mittees. Well wishes go out to Jan with a prayer for a speedy recovery. A donated quilt top was dis- played during the meeting. Af- ter an exciting auction, the lucky person to acquire the an- tique quilt top was Mary Rawlins. The program for the work- shop on March 22nd will be changed to allow time for sev- ,,, ,, ,| -i ,,I i,o r,,,o r <,' 2,, eral members to sandwich some quilts. All members are urged to bring their quilting projects and work on them during this meeting time.

ORDINANCE NUMBER 2005-01 FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION ORDINANCE BY THE BOARD OF COM- MISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF TRENTON, FLORIDA FOR THE NFIP COMMUNI- TIES (Revised 27 January 2005) ARTICLE 1. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION, FINDINGS OF FACT, PURPOSE, AND OBJECTIVES SECTION A. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION The Legislature of the State of Florida, through pursuant to Chap- ter 166, Florida Statutes, delegated the responsibility to local govern- ment units to adopt regulations de- signed to promote the public health; safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore, the Board of Commissioners of the City of Trenton, Florida does hereby adopt the following floodplain manage- ment regulations. SECTION B. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The flood hazard areas of the City of Trenton, Florida are subject to periodic inun- dation, which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disrup- tion of commerce and gov- ernmental services, extraor- dinary public expenditures for flood protection and re- lief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which ad- versely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. 2. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative ef- fect of obstructions in floodplains causing in- creases in flood heights and o :' elocilees. and by 'thle'd6cu- nc. '"' 'cylfi -l,!fi kaa fftas ' by uses vulnerable to floods or hazardous to other lands which are inadequately ele- vated, flood-proofed, or otherwise unprotected from flood damages. SECTION C. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general welfare and to mini- mize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to: 1. Protect human life, health, safety and welfare, 2. Minimize expenditure of' public money for costly aJ flood control projects, 3. Minimize the need for res- cue and relief efforts associ- ated with flooding and gen- erally undertaken at the expense of the general pub- lic, 4. Minimize prolonged busi- ness interruptions, 5. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, roadways, and bridges and culverts located in floodplains, 6. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of flood prone areas in such a manner as to minimize flood blight areas, and 7. Ensure that potential home- buyers are notified that property is in a flood hazard area. SECTION D. METHODS OF REDUCING FLOOD LOSSES In order to accomplish its pur- pose, this ordinance includes meth- ods and provisions for: 1. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety, and property due to water or erosion haz- ards, or which result in damaging increases in ero- sion or in flood heights or velocities, 2. Requiring that uses vulner- able to floods including fa- cilities which serve such uses be protected against flood damage throughout their intended life span, 3. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels; and natural pro- tective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters, 4. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other devel- opment which may increase flood damage, and 5. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barri- ers that will unnaturally di- vert flood waters or may in- crease flood hazards in other areas. ARTICLE 2.

These ar- eas have special flood hazards as- sociated with high velocity waters from hurricane surges, and, there- fore, the following provisions shall apply: 1. Standards of Article 5, Sec- tion C. 2. All new construction and substantial improvements in Zones V1-30 and VE (Zone V if base flood elevation is available) shall be elevated on pilings or columns so that: a) The bottom of the low- est horizontal structural member of the lowest floor (excluding the pilings or columns) is elevated to at least 2 feet above the base flood elevation, and b) The pile or column foundation and struc- ture attached thereto is anchored to resist flo- tation, collapse, and lateral movement due to the effects of wind and water loads acting simultaneously on all building components. Water loading values used shall be those as- sociated with the base flood. Wind loading values used shall be those required by ap- plicable State or local building standards. A registered professional engi- neer or architect, who is authorized to certify such information by the State, shall develop or review the structural design, specifications and plans for the construction, and shall certify that the design and methods of construction to be used are in ac- cordance with accepted standards of practice for meeting the provisions of paragraph (2) of this Section. 1. Obtain the elevation (in re- lation to mean sea level) of the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural mem- ber of the lowest floor (ex- cluding pilings and col- umns) of all new and substantially improved structures. The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain a record of all such infor- mation. 2. All new construction shall be located landward of the reach of mean high tide. 3. Provide that all new con- struction and substantial improvements have the 'i",,..,pa e. below tlh' lowest floor either free of obstruction or constructed with nonsup- porting breakaway walls, open wood lattice work, or insect screening intended to collapse under wind and water loads without causing collapse, displacement, or other structural damage to the elevated portion of the building or supporting 'foundation system. For the purpose of this Section, a breakaway wall shall have a design safe loading resis- tance of not less than 10 and no more than 20 pounds per square foot. Use of breaka- way walls which exceed a design safe loading resis- tance of 20 pounds per square foot (either by design or when so required by local or State codes) may be per- mitted only if a registered professional engineer or ar- chitect certifies that the de- signs proposed meet the following conditions: a) Breakaway wall col- lapse shall result from water load less than that which would occur during the base flood, fractured home and has incurred b) The elevated portion of "substantial the building and sup- damage" as the porting foundation result of a system shall not be flood, and subject to collapse, b) Meet the require- displacement, or other ments of Section C, structural damage due paragraph (5) (b) of to the effects of wind this Article, if they and water loads acting are located on sites simultaneously on all in an existing home building components park or subdivision.

Variances may only be is- sued when thereis: a) A showing of good and sufficient cause, b) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hard- ship, and c) A determination that the granting of a vari- ance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public ex- pense, create nuisance, cause fraud on or vic- timization of the pub- lic, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. 2. Variances may only be is- sued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary devia- tion from the requirements of this ordinance. 3. Variances shall not be is- sued within any designated regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood dis- charge would result. 114 i Variances,may be, issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a determination that the pro- posed repair or rehabilita- tion .will not preclude the structure's continued desig- nation as a historic struc- ture, and the variance is the minimum necessary to pre- serve the historic character and design of the structure. 5.

SECTION E. VARIANCE NOTIFICATION Any applicant to whom a vari- ance is granted shall be notified in writing over the signature of the City of Trenton official that: 1. The issuance of a variance to construct a structure be- low the base flood elevation will result in increased pre- mium rates for flood insur- ance up to amounts as high as $25 for $100 of insurance coverage, and 2. Such construction below the base flood level increases risks to life and property. A copy of the notice shall be re- corded by the Floodplain Manage- ment Administrator in the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in and for Gilchrist County, Florida, and shall be recorded in a manner so that it appears in the chain of ti- tle of the affected parcel of land. 3. The Floodplain Manage- ment Administrator shall maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issu- ance or denial, and report such variances issued in its annual biennial report sub- mitted to FEMA. SECTION F. SPECIAL CON- DITIONS Upon consideration of the factors listed in Article 6, and the purposes of this ordinance, the Variance Board may attach such conditions to the granting of variances, as it deems necessary to further the pur- poses of this ordinance.

Hall then asked the subject if he had kept them and the subject said they were in his cooler. Hall found the subject in possession of five spotted sea trout, one of which was undersized. The subject was cited for possession of spotted sea trout out of season and warned for the undersized trout. On March 3rd, Officers Andy Maltais and Dave Rosado con- ducted 'land patrol in the May- port area. On a fisheries stop just off State Road A1A at the south bank of the St. John's River, three men were observed fishing with one pole. Upon contact with the individuals, the owner of the adjacent pickup truck, with dark tinted windows, was asked for consent to search his vehicle for fish. Rosado searched while Maltais ran war- rant checks through dispatch. When opening the door, Rosado smelled the burnt odor' of can- nabis. In a small Planter's pea- nut can found on the center con- sole, was a small bag of cannabis. The owner was asked if there were any drugs in the truck and he replied "Not that I know of." The owner was read Miranda and placed under ar- rest. His statements after arrest were "It's not mine" and "That's my boss over there." Upon initial hesitation, com- bined with a moment of staring, the boss came forward and said the can and bag was his. The owner waS released aid his boss received a misdemeanor citation with a property receipt for the 6.8 grams of cannabis from Maltais. On March 7th, Officers Dave Rosado and Andy Maltais were on water patrol in the Mayport area. Rosado came alongside of a vessel anchored in the St. Johns River. The vessel was occupied by a male and a fe- male both of whom were ac- tively fishing. Rosado obtained the male's identification and boat registration. The female did not have any identification, but gave Maltais her name and date of birth. Rosado asked her what her age was, but it did not add up with her year of birth. When running her name and date of birth, Rosado found that it came back to a white female that did match her description. The license information had several suspensions, but no war- rants. Rosado questioned her and she finally admitted she was using her sister's information. It was found that she had a bur- glary warrant with a $50,000 bond. She was arrested and booked on the warrant and for False Name and ID. It was also found that a week before this encounter, she had given Officer Brad Givens the same false in- formation. Charges for that en- counter are to be filed with the State Attorney's Office. On March 9th, Officers Giv- ens, Jamie Beven, Craig Ma- guire and Maurice Naylor worked a detail at the St. Augustine Fish Management Area and arrested two individu- als for lewd and lascivious con- duct. At high noon, the suspects were in public, engaging in a sex act when the officers made the arrests. The St. Augustine Fish Management Area has been plagued with this type of activity and the detail was in- stituted to combat the problem. LEVY COUNTY While on ATV patrol in Gulf Hammock Wildlife Manage- ment Area, Officer Rama Shus- ter stopped a small pickup driving on Maple Ridge Road. Shuster explained to the driver that the Gulf Hammock Man- agement area was only open to persons owning private property located within the management area. The driver stated that he was just going to his camp for dinner. Shuster then observed an open container in the vehicle. woo'00aw4td Q^~ Si~#s Printing Advertising Office Supplies ~as4cepslmei~5% I I I I I ~_ ~, ~I --~ ; II Pn c *. * Additionally, the driver ap- peared disoriented and con- fused. Further investigation re- vealed an alcoholic beverage in the cup found in the vehicle as well as the driver being under the influence of alcoholic bev- erage. After displaying several clues of impairment, the driver was arrested for DUI. The driver had a record of eight pre- vious DUls and a permanently revoked driver's license. The driver refused to give a sample of his breath for the purpose of determining his breath alcohol content. LEVY COUNTY-COPS On March 9h, Officer Shuster participated in a public speaking engagement in front of the Withlacoochee Fishing Club. The meeting was held in the VFW hall located in Inglis. During Shuster's speech, he talked about the new fish meas- urement regulations and boating safety. When questioned about why boaters had to wear their inflatable PFDs in order for them to be valid, Shuster in- flated a PFD and asked some- one in the crowd to put it on. The volunteer could not put the PFD on.
