Gilchrist Supervisor of Elections, Susan J. Bryant reported the county witnessed over 300 voters marking absentee ballots and over 900 vot- ers cast their ballots during the Early Vote program. On Election Day, over 56% cast their ballots at their polling places in Gilchrist County. The Gilchrist County Commission (Continued on Page Two) By John M. Ayers Marilyn Bruce, Tax Collec- tor of Gilchrist County, during the Monday, November 6 meeting, ad- dressed the Gilchrist County Com- mission. Mrs. Bruce requested the board provide funding for the Tax Collector's office to give Longev- ity bonus pay to the employees that qualify to receive this first time an- nual pay bonus. She explained that she was unaware that the county was going to provide the Longevity pay to the employees, so she did not include the amount in her proposed 2006-2007 budget. She explained that the Tax Collector's Office would need an estimated $13,000 to provide the Longevity pay to the' long-term employees. Mrs. Bruce explained to the board that she was returning $13,010.00 to the board of remaining revenues from the 2005- 2006 fiscal year. The board discussed her request and determined that the other consti- tutional officers in Gilchrist County funded this revenue from within their departments. "I feel if we fund the Tax Collector's Longevity pay, then the board should provide fund- ing to the Sheriff, Clerk and the oth- er officers as well," Commissioner Randy Durden explained. Gilchrist County Clerk Joe Gilliam explained to the board that he was considering funding the Longevity bonus pay on the annual date of each of the employees. Paying the bonus in that manner would not require the Clerk to fund the entire lump sum at one time, he explained. Commission Chairman Tommy Langford told the board that he was in favor of providing this funding to the Tax Collector. "She is returning $13,010 to the county from her 2005- 2006 budget," Chairman Langford explained. Gilchrist County attorney, John McPherson asked the chairman if he had any family members that worked in the Tax Collector's Office. Commissioner Tommy Langford ex- plained his mother-in-law worked in this office. Mr. McPherson first told the chairman there was no conflict of interest. Commissioner Sharon Langford explained that she would file a conflict of interest and not be involved in this discussion. The at- torney looked up the confidential- ity statute and determined that the Chairman would be required to file (Continued on Page Eightteen) Seven Residents Qualify For Bell Council Election The municipal election in the Town of Bell has drawn the interest of seven candidates seeking three council seats and the office of may- or.

POSTMASTER Please Send Address Change To: Gilchrist County Journal, 207 N. Main Street, Trenton, Florida 32693 John's Comments By: John M. Ayers On Election Day 2006, the weather became a factor in the outcome of the elections as rain blanketed Gilchrist County. In the past when my father, J. Min Ayers would look at the elec- tion, he would explain if the weather is good, then there should be a good turnout. Well, Mr. Ayers is no longer with us, but I am sure that he would say that the turnout would be affected by the rainy conditions. This General Election has also set a record regarding the number of nega- tive advertisements that have been aired on both the radio and television stations. On Sunday, Cindy Jo and I both answered telephone calls that tried to sway us to vote a particular candi- date or party. I did not pay attention to this type of political advertisement other than the fact that it turned me off about the candidate. I also hope that when the ballots are counted in the local elections Tuesday night that Gilchrist County had over 50% of the registered voters go to the polls. Letter To The Editor Once again, I ask myself where did the time go?-Was itreally fifty (59), \ears ago that I"ijined the United States Marine Corps. The answer, of course, is a resounding yes, it was. fifty (50) years ago this November 7, 2006. Ironically, November 7, 1956 Streetwise By Lauren Rudd Last week I mentioned that if you are looking to invest in a company whose share price has fallen as a result of lower sales, you might be looking at an excellent buying op- portunity. A good example is Tractor Supply. When I last discussed the company a year ago, the company's shares were trading at $47.81. My 2006 earnings ***l Rufus Washington fifty years ago. was an election year, and President Eisenhower was running for a second term. This November is also an elec- tion year. Although I've been fairly success- ful since retiring from the Marine Corps, I shall forever be grateful to the Marine Corps for having me. I entered the Marine Corps at age 18 (see photograph). I had a High School Diploma but I did not have a High School Education. This be- came abundantly clear when I took a battery of tests at Parris Island; the tests that \%ere ued to determine, a military Occupational Speciality i.MOS). I scored a 72.

I was assigned to the field of Motor Transport. In 1970, while stationed in Okinawa, Japan I was selected for the Warrant Officer Program. In January 1971,I was assigned to War- rant Officer Candidate Course 11 (WOCC 11). There were fifty-five (55) of us in (WOCC 11). I would go on to graduate with honors (the head of the class). My father and mother, the late Ru- fus and Veda Washington attended the parade anrd Commis.sioning Cer-| emony. Mom proudly submitted the, article that appeared in the Quantico paper to the Journal for publication, of which the Journal did. "Warrant Officer Rufus Washington, II hon- ored with Award at Marine Corps Graduation." I would go on to retire from the Marine Corps with the highest rank held, Captain. See photograph of me in Officer Dress Blues, Memorial Day 2006. After retiring from the Marine Corps in 1976, I earned a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree from East Carolina University, graduating with a GPA of 3.528. In August 1999, retired as the Fleet Maintenance Manager, RPS/FEDEX Ground, at their World Headquarters, Pittsburgh, PA. I live in Memphis, TN with my wife of 46 years. We celebrated our 46th Wedding Anniversary in San Antonio, TX on July 2, 2006. We have 4 children and 5 grandchildren. The oldest grandchild is 20 and, the youngest is 6. Rufus J. Washington Captain, USMC (retired) Homosexuality And Hypocrisy (Kent Heaton) The recent revelation a prominent evangelical preacher had a relationship with a male prostitute brings out a dark parody of the depravation of our nation. The male prostitute came forward' with his "story" to expose the hypocrisy of the preacher. Clearly, the Bible shows that hypocrisy is a sin. "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness" (Matthew 23:8). There is nothing men will do that is not revealed to Jehovah. "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad" (2 Corinthians 5:10). "For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:14). While hypocrisy is a sinful thing and the hidden actions of a man will not go without penalty from God, it should not be lost on anyone that homosexuality is a perverted act condeinned before God as much as hypocrisy. Our depraved nation exalts a male prostitute as a spokesman and representative of a case of hypocrisy while failing to feel righteous indignation and shame of homosexuality. Be clear that neither Haggard nor Jones are innocent! "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth. in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18). Without repentance and turning to the Lord, all men will be cast into eternal damnation (Matthew 25:41,46; 1 Corinthians 6:9,10; Revelation 20:14,15; 21:8) Homosexuality is the perversion of the marriage bond between a man and a woman. "The men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them" (Romans 1:27-32). False religion, drugs, immorality, lying, hypocrisy, adultery, murder "Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4). Lawlessness is the breaking of the eternal law that will not change. Our nation may embrace homosexuality and lesbians but the Creator never has nor will He ever. The putridity of our moral conscience will destroy us one day. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God" (Psalms 9:17). The only hope our nation has is Jehovah God. "Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah; the people He has chosen for His inheritance" (Psalms 33:12): Trenton Church of Christ 463-3793 502 Northeast 7th Street Trenton, Florida 32693 Please Visit www.trentonchurchofchrist.com Email kerux@bellsouth.net Lottery Numbers Wednesday November 1 Lotto Drawing: 1-24-28-34-49-51 No winner of the $3 million jackpot. 5-Digit Winners: 42 at $8,050 4-Digit Winners 3,035 at $90.50 3-Digit Winners: 66,718 at $5.50 Play 4 Drawing: 5-6-8-4 Cash 3 Drawing: 8-9-5 Saturday, November 4 Lotto Drawing: 5-7-23-24-36-48 No winners of the $6 million jackpot. 5-Digit Winners: 117 at $4,236 4-Digit Winners: 6,329 at $63.50 3-Digit Winners: 125,540 at $4.50 Play 4 Drawing: 8-6-2-5 Cash 3 Drawing: 2-8-6 estimate was $2.50 per share. Given the price/earnings multiple of 25 at the time, my target price for the stock was $63 per share. In retrospect, my earnings number was a bit high as earnings are likely to be closer to $2.44 per share, prior to stock option expenses. Nonetheless, the shares did hit $65 per share last May, but have fallen off somewhat since then. They are currently trading at about $49, down from $53 per share earlier in the nionth, as a result of slightly lower' sales. So is Tractor Supply still a viable investment candidate, and if so, what should you expect from the company going forward? On Oct. 25, Tractor Supply reported third quarter earnings ended Sept. 30 of 44 cents per share, as compared with 45 cents a year ago. Revenues were $559.2 million, as compared to $479.6 million a year ago. However, same store sales were up 2.4 percent. A year ago they were only up 1.8 per- cent. The company cited strength in its clothing, footwear, along with its horse, pet and animal product lines. Offsetting that strength was a weak- ness in certain "seasonal" equipment items such as generators. In addition, higher selling, general, and adminis- trative (SG&A) costs contributed to a lower earnings number. Yet, earnings still grew at a rate of 6.7 percent. In its forward looking guidance, management forecasted 2006 earn- ings of $2.43 to $2.44 per share, ex- cluding 14 cents per share of stock option expenses, on sales of between $2.37 and $2.39 billion. Same-store sales are expected to increase 2 to 3 percent. Although annual sales growth has fallen to the 20 percent range annu- ally over the past couple of years, earnings and cash flow have grown at a rate closer to 30 percent. Fur- thermore, the company is growing. through the use of internally generat- ed funds, as opposed to increasing its negligible long-term debt position. The intrinsic value of the shares us- ing a discounted earnings approach with an earnings growth rate of 15 percent is $86 per share. Using a more conservative discounted cash flow to the firm model, with the same 15 percent earnings growth rate, gen- erates an intrinsic value of $53 per share. Tractor Supply's management is fully cognizant of the effect a slow- ing economy will have on their sales. They are also taking steps to mitigate the circumstances that adversely im- pacted their cost structure. As such, I am increasing my estimate of their earnings growth rate for 2007 to 20 percent from the 15 percent we used in the intrinsic value calculation. As a result, my projected 2007 earnings estimate is $2.74 per share. My 12 month price target for the shares is $58, for a potential gain of about 20 percent. That projection has the implicit assumption that the cur- rent P/E multiple of 21 remains rela- tively unchanged.

Glen Thigpen Is Unopposed For City Commissioner Group 3 Thank you for allowing me to serve as your City Commissioner in Group 3. I have been humbled in recent months by the support and encouragement that I have received from citizens, property owners, in- By: Cindy Jo Ayers Those holidays are slipping up on us. Seems we just turn around and they are here again. In an effort to find something new to cook for Thanks- giving I've been trying out recipes for Pecan Buttermilk Pie. While thumbing through the piles of cookbooks at my house I found not only a really good pie recipe but a wonderful pie crust recipe. I am so excited to find the crust recipe; now even I can make a pie crust with the best of them. To tell you the truth I was kind of embarrassed to admit that I use a store bought crust. Even though the store bought crust was pretty good it just wasn't homemade. Growing up in Levy County all the women in our family prided them- selves in making cakes. It must be a Southern thing to make cakes instead of pies. We grew up eating fresh co- conut cakes, sour cream pound cakes and many layered jelly cakes. But aside from pecan pies and an oc- casional coconut pie we stuck with mostly cakes. The following recipe for pie crust is real easy and very good. If you have a food processor get out your large knife blade and you are ready to whip up a great pie crust. What caught my attention while reading the following recipe was that it had a cup of butter, you know any recipe with an entire cup of butter has to be good. While making the recipe I appreciated the fact that it rolled out well and was very easy to move onto the pie plate. If you use this crust for a chicken pot pie you my want to leave out the tea- spoon of sugar. Also I think its im- portant to let the dough chill for the full hour before rolling it out. This buttermilk pie recipe is rich, real rich but very good. I tried a cou- ple of recipes and found this one to be best. 1/2 cup butter 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla 3 eggs 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust 1/2 cup chopped pecans Heat oven to 300. Cream butter and sugar. (This will be kind of dry because there isn't enough butter to make it light and fluffy). Blend in vestors and the business owners of the City of Trenton. For this, I am truly grateful. As your City Commissioner I pledge to continue to work hard for-you. I will strive to continue to make common sense decisions that will have a reasonably equal impact of all property owners in the City of Trenton. I will work hard to operate within the budget and not spend your tax dollars frivolously. I am commit- ted to keeping ad valorem taxes down by utilizing other sources of revenue that will not put an undue burden on a minority of property owners. I will continue to vote to improve and ex- pand Police and Fire Protection for our citizens and businesses. As your city commissioner, I work for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at home and I'll be happy to speak with you. Once again, thanks for the confidence that you have placed in me. Glen Thigpen Trenton City Commissioner, Group 3 (352) 463-0312 Trenton City Election Scheduled For Tuesday, December 5 (Continued from Page One) of the Group 2 seat as Commissioner Bill Clifton announced he would not seek re-election.

(Used the slower speed on your mix- er to add the eggs) Mix salt and flour in a small bowl and add it a little at a time then add buttermilk. Sprinkle pecans in bottom of crust and pour the pie mixture over the pe- cans and bake one hour and 30 min- utes on 300 degrees. Best served at room temperature. This pie sets up as it cools. Also remember to shake up the buttermilk well because it sepa- rates in the carton. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 scant teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 cup very cold butter (cut into small pieces) 1/3 cup ice water (you may add just a little more if crust is too dry to come together) Put the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor, pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter pieces to flour mix- ture, and process about 10 seconds until mixture is consistency of coarse. meal. With the food processor running, slowly pour ice water in a slow steady stream through hole in top of proces- ser lid. Process until dough comes to- gether, it will form a big ball on one side of the processor bowl. This takes a very short time. Stop it as soon at the ball forms because over process- ing will make the crust tough. It should take less than half a minute. If you don't have a processor you can hand mix this dough. Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter pieces, and cut in with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture looks like course corn meal. Then mix dough adding just enough water to make the dough stick together. Turn dough ball out and wrap'it in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour before rolling out. Makes enough dough for two 9 inch pie crusts. Di- vide dough in half. Flatten dough ball while shaping it into a round shape. Place on floured board and roll out with floured rolling pin. Fold crust in half and then fold again to make a quarter fold. Place folded crust into greased glass pie plate unfold and trim edges and form crust edges in zig-zag pattern. This crust recipe can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Main Street, Chiefland, on Saturday night, November 11, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. For over 45 years, The Dixie Echoes have been delivering the good news of the Gospel through their spiritually uplifting musical ministry. Although considered to be one of the pioneer Southern Gospel groups, the Dixie Echoes have maintained a refreshing vocal style, and a diverse selection of songs that appeal to audiences of all ages. This captivating group offers hope and inspiration as they share the message of God and his love for all people during each invigorating per- formance. Since the Dixie Echoes formed in 1960, they have released over 50 albums, and have had numerous top 10 singles. In addition to their long- standing popularity on Gospel ra- dio stations, the Dixie Echoes have received numerous awards such as Group of the year and Album of the Year by the Southern Gospel Music Association, as well as various Sing- ing News Fan Awards. Most recently, they were honored in a Singing News report for being one of the top 10 groups in America to have consis- tently recorded top 40 songs during a 20-year period. The Dixie Echoes have performed throughout the United States and Canada at such well-known venues as the National Quartet Convention, Suwannee River Jubilee, Dollywood, and the Biggest All-Night Sing in the World at Bonifay. The Dixie Echoes also share their music ministry with church, county fair, and television au- diences. They have appeared on such programs as TBN, GOSPEL MUSIC TELEVISION, and are probably best remembered for their performances on the Gospel Singing Jubilee. Although each of these individu- als present their own distinct musical styling, collectively they share the common goal of being the best they can be for the glory and honor of the Lord, as they present the Gospel in song with a touch of excellence. The Dixie Echoes consists of: Randy Shelnut-lead vocalist, em- cee, and manager of'the group. Hi . father, Dale was one of the founding members of the Dixie Echoes, and Randy has been with the group since 1969. Besides writing many of the groups most popular songs, he has re- ceived the Singing News Fan awards twice for his vocal category. Stewart Varnado-is the pianist and is originally from Franklin, Louisi- ana. His personality and showman- ship added with his versatile style has already made him a fan favorite across the country. Stewart has been nominated for Favorite Pianist in the Singing News Fan Awards. Dallas Rogers-provides the tenor vocals and is the newest member of the Dixie Echoes. He joined the group in August 2005, he is a native of Seymour, Indiana. In his first year with the Dixie Echoes, Dallas was nominated for Horizon Individual in the Singing News Fan Awards. Randy Shelnut, Jr.-known to Gos- pel Music fans and family as "Scoot" is the baritone singer and plays bass guitar. He began his gospel music career with the Dixie Echoes at the young age of 11. He is an accom- plished musician on several differ- ent instruments. Most recently he was nominated as Favorite Musician, and Favorite Baritone in the Singing News Fan Awards. Tracy Couch-is the bass singer for the Dixie Echoes. Tracy joined the group in September 2004. He comes to the group from Iota, Louisiana. Fans all over the country are already taking notice of the impressive low voice of this young man. Since join- ing the group, Tracy has been nomi- nated twice as Favorite Horizon In- dividual in the Singing News Fan Awards. The Dixie Echoes have become a respected standard in the field of Gospel music. Their ministry con- tinues to play an important role in- fluencing the performances of many newer groups who enter the Gospel music arena. There is no doubt that' the Dixie Echoes will be sharing the message of God's Word for many years to come. As always they will strive to sing songs that reach out and touch the ears and lives of people of all ages and backgrounds. A donation will be requested at the door.

Remember Our Troops For those who believe, prayer is a powerful weapon. It not only does something for the pray-er, but also it can increase the faith of those who are being prayed for, especially those who are in harm's way and protecting our freedoms which we sometimes take for granted here in the United States of America. We all should be consistent in our prayers for those of our county who are serving in the Armed Forces. The following is a known list of those who are on active duty, and who ei- ther have a residence here or who are relatives of someone who lives here in Gilchrist County.

Log Cabin Quilters The Log Cabin Quilters met on Thursday, November 2 at the Levy County Quilt Museum. Our weather is so wonderful, it seems that we have waited for cool weather a long time and now its here. Soon' we will be wishing for it to be warm. We take it one day at a time. A lady from Old Town brought in an old crazy quilt that was over 150 years old. We love to see these quilts and wonder at the work that they did so long ago. She wanted to know how to take care of it in the future and some said one thing and some another and I said to take care of it very carefully. These old quilts can not be washed, cannot be hung but can be put on a bet to be looked at but never used. We are trying to help people take care of quilted quilts, they are treasures and when hand quilted that makes them so special. Today many quilt tops are appliqued and pieced then they are finished on a machine. Hand quilting is slowly go- ing out because sometime you get in a hurry, its machine quilted and that makes a comforter. We put out about 16 quilts a year with sometimes four or five quilting at each quilt. We have three going all year and once in a while it takes months to quilt just one. Done on a machine it only takes a few hours and that why we push to take care of your old quilts. A quilt is not a quilt until it is hand quilted. Machine quilting makes it a comforter. Lunch was great with fried sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, cheese and macaroni, chicken, biscuit and lots of salads and all kinds of pumpkin cake and apple pie. All were so good. Six- teen were present. Winnelle Home LOG CABIN QUILTERS B. J. Johnson is a rider of motorcycles. This quilt has the emblem of a motor bike and she has made several of these quilts that represent her club. A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down.

Purple Powerhouse Receives Superiors At District On Saturday, October 28th, the Purple Powerhouse Marching Band traveled to Santa Fe High School for the "Showcase of Champions" marching competition. The Band re- ceived Superiors in Drum Major and Music categories. They placed 3rd in their class and 12th overall. Disappointed as the Band was, they came home determined to return from the District FBA Marching As- sessment in Lake City with a superior rating. That the band accomplished. The Bell High School Marching Band received Superiors in marching and maneuvering, both categories of music and percussion. They received excellent in general effect and flag unit. The band's overall rating was Superior. The Purple Powerhouse Band was one of only six bands to achieve a Su- perior rating at the nine county assess- ment this past Saturday at C61umbia High School. The other bands were Bucholtz, Columbia, Gainesville, Santa Fe, and Union County. The fact that the Bell Marching band received, Superiors with these larger and more financially endowed band programs is a testament to the outstanding in- struction by Band Director, Todd Eckstein and the hard work and dedi- cation of the Band members.

A few months ago a very special person brought in a large container of the items mentioned. She said it just got boring saving pennies and decided to donate them to 4 Pets Sake and for that we thank you. There is another precious lady who has the wisdom and knowledge that I admire. She donated many things for the auction, some are new and some are collectibles such as cups and sau- cers with gold trim. The variety of merchandise that is coming in can make anyone hap- py. It ranges from box deals to gift certificates to some collectibles and antiques. If you don't walk out with something from this auction it's be- cause you didn't look hard enough or -bid high enough! The reason I'm walking around with this hideous color hair is be- cause Mr. Emenecker and I went to the Halloween pet costume party that Newberry Animal Hospital held and to blend in with the crowd I sprayed my hair shocking pink and Mr. Eme- necker was purple. As life would have it his washed out and mine did not. That's OK though, scissors have many uses. Just a reminder, 1 p.m., Satur- day, November 18th at Newberry City Hall there is an auction wait- ing for you.

A A A&l g.117.1 *IRMI On Halloween night, October 31, the Town of Bell was alive with ghosts, goblins, and many, many other cos- tumes on parade. The event was handled in a very orderly manner with an estimated 300-400 people including moms and dads who accompanied their children. They came walking, pulled in wag- ons, riding in trailers pulled by trucks and even a few golf carts were part of the processions that filled the streets in the Town of Bell. At the Bell Library, not only candy was given out but also, each child was allowed to choose a book from the many tubs of books that lined the parking lot in front of the library. A GREAT TIME was had by all in- cluding the volunteers who helped to make this possible. Come on out next year to help us with the fun. Also, vol- unteers are always welcome to come out to help or just to see what the vol- unteers are doing at the Bell Library for our community. Gilchrist County Sheriff's Volunteers Meeting November 14th The monthly meeting of the Gil- christ County Sheriff's Volunteers (GSV) has been re-scheduled to 6:00 p.m. on November 14, 2006, at the Sheriff's Office in Trenton.

Division of Forestry Recommends Refraining From Outdoor Burning Due to the predicted windy condi- tions and low relative humidity over the next couple of days and the contin- ued dry conditions, the Florida Divi- sion of Forestry is asking residents in North Central Florida to refrain from all outdoor burning activities for the next couple of days. The cold front that passed through this area over the last 24 hours is bringing with it wind gusts between 15 20 mph and low relative humidity between 24 26%. Both weather conditions are indica- tors for wildfire concern. Escaped outdoor pile/trash burning is the number one cause of wildfire in the state of Florida year round. Winds gusting up to 22-23 mph would cer- tainly assist in spreading firebrands, causing an escaped fire. Even though some residents may have received several inches of rain from last week- end's cold front, it was not enough in all areas to reduce the wildfire threat for this weekend. Residents should continue to use caution until this area experiences significant rainfall, 1-2 inches over several days. For further information, please con- tact your local Division of Forestry office at 352-955-2005 or visit ou- website at www.fl-dof.com.

Small Game Hunting Area The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is requesting public comments con- cerning proposed regulation changes for the Lower Econfina River Public Small Game Hunting Area in Taylor County. According to John Ault, FWC's re- gional public hunting areas biologist, "The Suwannee River Water Manage- ment District has requested the FWC consider opening the Lower Econfina River Public Small Game Hunting Area to deer hunting with primitive weapons. We are proceeding with this request and want public com- ments on the proposed changes." The changes would allow deer and all other legal game hunting during the archery and muzzle loading gun seasons and turkey hunting during the spring turkey season. The small game season would continue as it has since the area was established in Sep- tember 2003. The changes, if approved by FWC commissioners, would take effect July 1, 2007. The seasons on Lower Econfina River would be: archery, September 22 to October 7; muzzle loading gun, October 26 to 28; small game; January 21 to March 2; spring turkey, March 15 to 23; and fishing and frogging, throughout the year. It would be legal to take all legal game, fish, frogs and fur bearers dur- ing the appropriate seasons. The pos- session or use of dogs, other than bird dogs or dogs with a shoulder height of 15 inches or less, would be prohib- ited. Huiting hoj; with dogswould& %e prohibited,. The public would have access to the area from 1 1/2hours be- fore sunrise to 1 1/2 hours after sun- set. Motorized vehicles could only be operated on named or numbered roads, and. ATVs and motorcycles would be prohibited. The area east of the Lower Econfina River would be open to motorized vehicles only dur- ing open hunting seasons. The Suwannee River Water Manage- ment District is holding its monthly governing board meeting in Mayo on November 16, and this item is on the agenda. The public will have an op- portunity to provide comments at that time. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Lafayette County Commission Room. People can also send their com- ments to John Ault via e-mail at john. ault@MyFWC.com or by mail to 3377 E. Highway 90, Lake City, FL 32055. More information on the Lower Econfina area can be found at: http:// MyFWC.com/hunting/wma/2006- 07/NorthCentral/LowerEconbro- chure.pdf.

This Pro- gram is just one of the many MCL's projects. The trike is made for children who cannot use their legs, but can ride the trike by using their arms. There is no cost; so if you know of a family with a child that we can "make smile" - please call Commandant Harry Hop- wood at 352/543 6879. Thank you Harry Hopwood, Tri-County MCL Commandant South in Fort White. Florida Statutes require that MFLs - water levels and flows designed to prevent significant harm to water resources be established for wa- ter bodies. The District already has established proposed MFLs for the Lower Suwannee River, Manatee, Fanning and Madison Blue springs, and is now beginning the same pro- cess for the Lower Santa Fe River (the portion of the river downstream ofO'Leno State Park) and associated springs. MFLs will help in the water supply planning process and in determining water availability for consumptive use purposes. In addition, they will provide guidance in making water use and permitting decisions; ensure sufficient water resources for the public and ecosystems; protect wet- lands, fish and wildlife habitat; and provide protection of water resources for navigation and recreation.

A Dunnellon man suffered seri- ous injuries after falling from a tree stand during muzzleloading season at Cedar Hammock Hunt Club in Levy County. James "Tim" Waldron, 42, was taken to West Marion Hospital in Ocala after the 6 p.m. Nov. 4 incident in which he suffered multiple pelvic fractures. He later was transferred to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where, as of Monday, he remains. Waldron, who had fallen asleep, was not wearing a safety belt or harness when he fell 16 feet to the ground. He landed on his Connecticut Valley Arms Buckham 209 muzzleloader which discharged and broke in half upon contact with the ground. The victim, who had left his cellu- lar telephone in his vehicle, dragged himself 30 yards before rescuers found him. Neighboring hunters, Jack Reese of Crystal River and his son, Jack Reese Jr., heard Waldron's cries for help and quickly found him. Waldron .told people where he would be hunting, something every- one should do. "If hunting by yourself, let someone know where you will be hunting and the time you expect to return home," said Steve Robbins, hunter safety co- ordinator for the FWC's North Cen- tral Region. "If possible, carry a cell phone with you. When hunting out of a tree stand, wear a safety belt or har- ness. Take an approved hunter safety course and always use safe hunting practices." For information regarding state- wide courses, log on to MyFWC.com and click the Hunter Safety link or call the local FWC office for the next available course in your area. This is the second hunting-re- lated incident in a week. A 14-year- old youth was accidentally shot in the lower back, sustaining non-life threatening injuries, Oct. 28 at a hunt camp in Marion County. Forget past mistakes. Forget failures.

Bits And Pieces From The Joyful Heart Quilters And Crafters Of North Gilchrist County Goodness gracious and sakes alive.. what happened to fall? I feel like old man, Rip Van Winkle. I fell asleep one cool, crisp fall night and woke up to the hot muggy dragon breath of summer. Did I sleep through the rest of fall, winter, and spring or is Moth- er Nature playing games with us? I'm sure birds don't know whether to stay or fly south 'cause I don't know whether to pack up summer clothes and drag out winter wear or what. Meanwhile, the trees are shedding their leaves, summer blossoms are fast fading and all the mums are in bloom. Of course, if we never get any rain everything will continue to look poorly. My yard and gardens have never looked as peaked as they Left to right, Rita Simcoe, Ann Taylor and Alberta Swanner.

Since we have been blessed with no hurricanes to worry with that also means little or no rain. As the Good Book tells us, the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.. Amen. But a muggy morning did not stop 23 Joyful Hearts from coming to- gether on Wednesday, October 18th, for our Halloween Howl, and howl we did. The trick was to find enough room in our tummies for all of the won- derful treats that were brought in for us to gobble up. Cathy Strom did a "spooktacular" job of decorating our meeting place and it made for a real party atmosphere. She goes all out and leaves no "tomb" stone unturned and it certainly raises all our spirits. Some folds did do some work on their works in progress while some played games and set up the buf- fet tables. We had such a variety of tasty treats including a ghost birthday cake for Mary Lou Ryder and Jackie Moore our October birthday babies. Ruth Wilkerson stuck to her knit- ting, Elaine Nemeth, Maxine Hale, and Pat Luka did some quilting on the club quilt, which is coming right along. Matty Turner and Myrle Gilkey busied themselves crocheting while Marvine Deer worked on her block of the month quilt. Alice Binns, Jackie Moore, Mar- tha Foster, Betty Hicks, Heidi Kamp, and Lu Rowland all were..yes, you guessed it.. Swedish Weaving. Bonnie Edwards and Diana Lynn both dropped by but neither one could stay and help eat all the good- ies. Paulene Martin was feeling p p to the festivities so hubby George brought her and his special dessert treats, for which he's known. It's so good to see Paulene looking so well and doing so well, and all the glory goes to God. Five of us dressed in costumes and some others wore Halloween T-shirts and vest. George was "volunteered" to judge the costumes since he was not a member. Rita Simcoe won first place with her witch's costume com- plete with wig. While cowgirl Pat Luka, was second. Elaine Nemeth was in third place as a country gal, Marvine Deer a cheerleader with pom poms was fourth and me, Miss Mouse brought up the rear. George, thanks, you did a great job. Lu Rowland guessed the closest to how many candies were in ajar. She guessed 251 and there were 255; she FHP Driver License And Vehicle Inspection Checkpoints The Florida Highway Patrol will be conducting driver license and ve- iicle inspection checkpoints during he following dates: November 1-30, 006.

This closure occurs each year to help re- build overfished red snapper stocks in the Gulf. In Gulf state waters, the recre- ational harvest and possession of red snapper is prohibited November 1st through April 14th. However, while the recreational red snapper fishery in Gulf federal waters also closes on November 1st, the Gulf federal wa- ters fishery does not reopen to recre- ational harvest until April 21st. Florida state waters extend 9 nau- tical miles offshore in the Gulf, and federal waters extend beyond state waters. Advertise It Pays!

Elaine Nemeth a made the most words out of Hallow- t een, Ann Mangone was second and t Ann pinned the nose on the pumpkin u closest to where the nose might be. i We giggled and laughed and relived r being a child once again and that's a 1 blessing in itself. r Tummies were beginning to rum- h ble with the sight of all the treats in store. When we just couldn't wait f another minute so we gathered in our f friendship circle and Elaine said the 1 grace. Then came the rush of lively g spirits that decended on that table full of delicious treats. There were "deviled" eggs, of course, and crackers with cheese, crunchy veggies and dip, a wonderful orange jello dish and a platter of crisp lettuce, tomato wedges and tasty po- tato and pea salad helped to keep the calories from mounting. There was cole slaw, and platters of sandwiches; ham salad, cream cheese, cucumber and cream cheese and others. I can't forget the Kidney bean salad, the honey barbecued chicken wings, the stuffed mushrooms or the wonderful vegetable casserole. No buffet would be complete without bread and but- ter pickles and of course desserts of which there were several all sweet and scrumptious. I'm sure I have left something or things out but not be- cause I didn't eat them just that I've forgotten them. Oh yes, those yum- my little cocktail wienies in a sweet sticky sauce. Was it any wonder that we could hardly find the strength to push our- selves away from the table and clean up. One thing for sure we not only can quilt and craft but we can cook.. and eat.. and"all God's'children said, Amen. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, November 1st. That's when we will be having our thanks- giving Feast so don't forget to bring your covered dish and your appetite with you. I know this is close to our Halloween party, but we had voted to do Thanksgiving early because so many folks get so busy with church suppers, their own Thanksgiving and the fast approaching holidays. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. since some will need to cook that morning. We are all familiar with the saying, into each life a little rain must fall. For some of us, this year, more that a little rain has fallen it's been a cloud burst but as the season of Thanksgiv- ing draws neigh we must remember 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 'Til next time. A Joyful Heart Marilyn Runde - ALL TYPES 4' Chain Link $6.50/ft.

Commissioner Kenrick Thomas asked how long is the county expect- ed to be involved in the budget ap- peal with the Sheriff's Office? John McPherson explained that at this time the Governor's Office has sent a letter to the Sheriff requesting more information involving his appeal. The attorney was not able to give the board an answer on how long this process would take. Commissioner Thomas told the Tax Collector that he was in favor of her request, but until the budget appeal is finalized with the Sheriff's Office, the board is not sure of their finances, as'they have just be- gun the 2006-2007 fiscal year. The board took no action on this matter. The board agreed to reimburse the Tax Collector the money she spent, $3,801.64, for postage in sending the tax bills to county property owners recently. If there be one thing upon earth that man- kind loves and admires better than an- other, it is a brave man-a man who dares look the devil in the face and tell him he is the devil. James A Garfield ing when they heard a gunshot. Both officers set up surveillance in the area of a parked vehicle. After approxi- mately 30 minutes, a hunter walked out of the woods and advised the of- ficers that he wasn't hunting and he hadn't heard a gunshot. After no- ticing several drops of blood on the subject's pants leg, and finding a spent .223 cartridge in a nearby shoot house, the officers called for Officer Leonard Bailey and K-9 Buddy. After several minutes of searching, the K- 9 team located a freshly killed spike buck and a .223 rifle. Both the deer and rifle were hidden under brush. The subject admitted to killing the spike buck with the .223 rifle. NOVEMBER 9, 2006 ~-~t~ r f~ ,s r - *c~ t- ~--- a' -*. -r3 118~1 C- C1 _L~- --~I' I =IC ~- GILCHRIST COUNTY JOURNAL I Changes Proposed For Lower Econfina River Small Game Hunting Area The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is requesting public comments con- cerning proposed regulation changes for the Lower Econfina River Public Small Game Hunting Area in Taylor County. According to John Ault, FWC's re- gional public hunting areas biologist, "The Suwannee River Water Manage- ment District has requested the FWC consider opening the Lower Econfina River Public Small Game Hunting Area to deer hunting with primitive weapons. We are proceeding with this request and want public com- ments on the proposed changes." The changes would allow deer and all other legal game hunting during the archery and muzzle loading gun seasons and turkey hunting during the spring turkey season. The small game season would continue as it has since the area was established in Sep- tember 2003. The changes, if approved by FWC commissioners, would take effect July 1, 2007. The seasons on Lower Econfina River 'would be: archery, September 22 to October 7; muzzle loading gun, October 26 to 28; small game; January 21 to March 2; spring turkey, March 15 to 23; and fishing and frogging, throughout the year. It would be legal to take all legal game, fish, frogs and fur bearers dur- ing the appropriate seasons. The pos- session or use of dogs, other than bird dogs or dogs with a shoulder height of 15 inches or less, would be prohib- ited. Hunting hogs with dogs would be prohibited. The public would have access to the area from 1 1/2 hours be- fore sunrise to 1 1/2 hours after sun- set. Motorized vehicles could only be operated on named or numbered roads, and ATVs and motorcycles would be prohibited. The area east of the Lower Econfina River would be open to motorized vehicles only dur- ing open hunting seasons. The Suwannee River Water Manage- ment District is holding its monthly governing board meeting in Mayo on November 16, and this itemn is on the agenda. The public will have an op- portunity to provide comments at that time. The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. at the Lafayette County Commission Room. People can also send their com- ments to John Ault via e-mail at john. ault@MyFWC.com or by mail to 3377 E. Highway 90, Lake City, FL 32055.

The FWC Report For October 6th-12th This report represents some signif- icant events the FWC handled over the past week; however, it does not include all actions taken by the Divi- sion of Law Enforcement. NORTH CENTRAL REGION LEVY COUNTY October 7th, Officer Robert John- ston organized a detail targeting a large baited dove shoot in Levy County.
