Gilchrist County To

Receive Third New

Fire Apparatus

Through Homeland

Security Grant


The United States Fire Adminis-
tration's "Assistance to Firefighters
Grant" has awarded Gilchrist Coun-
ty's Bell Fire Department a Vehicle
Acquisition Grant in the amount of
$249,000.00. The grants are part of
the 2006 Assistance to Firefighters
Grants (AFG) program a program
designed to help departments and
emergency medical'service organiza-
tions improve their ability to protect
the public and first-responder person-
nel from fire related hazards. Florida
United States Senator Mel Martinez
recently announced that Gilchrist
County was one of several rural fire
rescue programs that will be receiving
one of these grants. "The Department
of Homeland Security announcement
is good news for these departments.
The investment translates into criti-
cal improvements in the areas of life
and property protection services,"
said Martinez. "Safety is a top prior-
ity for these community departments
and these grants will help each meet
their mission."
Gilchrist County Emergency Man-
agement's Ron Mills appeared before
the Board of County Commissioners
in the-December 4th meeting to an-
nounce the grant had been verbally
received and to request the Board to
accept the terms wherein the Coun-
ty's responsibility is to provide 5%
($12,450.00) of the total cost and the
Federal share consists of the 95%
($236,550.00) balance. This is the
second Vehicle Grant for an Engine/
Pumper Mills has written, submitted
and acquired for the County's fire
rescue program and will allow the

The grant will be used to acquire
a new Engine/Pumper with 1000-gal-
lon water capacity, foam capability,
generator and emergency lighting,
additional storage for medical sup-
plies, tools and equipment. Allowing
for vehicle designand assembly time,
the new engine should be in service
at the Bell Fire Department (Station
1) within the next 8 to 10 months.
Spring Ridge (Station 3) placed their
new engine in service in July of this
year and North Gilchrist (Station 2)
has had their new Brush Truck in ser-
vice since September.
Congratulations to Gilchrist Coun-
ty and a special thank you to the

Camp Blanding
Hunting/Fishing Area
Closes For Military
Training
Camp Blanding's still hunt area
Number 2 will be closed to hunting
through January 11lth for military
training.
SThe area will reopen January 12th
through the last day of hunting sea-
son, January 14th, according to Flor-
ida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) officials.
Lowry and Magnolia lakes on
Camp Blanding have been open for
fishing during the hunting season.
However, when the area closes to
hunting due to military training, the
lakes close also, said Gary Byerley,
FWC freshwater fish biologist.
"The last day of Camp Blanding's
general gun still hunting season also
will be the last day the lakes will be
open all day," Byerley said. Begin-
ning January 15th, the lakes return to
their normal schedule from 6:30 a.m.
to 1:00 p.m. Sunday and from noon
to 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Magnolia and Lowry lakes on
Camp Blanding opened for public
fishing access July 28, 2006. The
lakes had been closed since Septem-
ber 11, 2001, because of security rea-
sons.
"Anglers must check in and out
at the Treat Road gate check station
off State Road 21 near Keystone
Heights," said Byerley. "Because of
military security, we must monitor
access to the post."

The City Commissioners of Trenton
will have the opportunity to step clos-
er to a completely new Streetscape
at the January 8 city meeting. The
commissioners will discuss and
possibly approve the next phase of
the streetscape master plan. The
streetscape work will be completed
at a cost of approximately 5 million
dollars.
The city adopted an ordinance in
2002 which described the publicly
funded capital projects to be paid for
with CRA funds (Community Re-
development Area funds). The plan
calls for the publicly funded capital
projects within the Redevelopment
Area as improvements to consist of
acquisition of property, parking area,
and a street clock. Jered Ottenwess
the city manager said the funds for the
project will come from the CRAmon-
ey which came the city's way in 2002
when the city enacted their Commu-
nity Redevelopment Plan. The CRA
will last from 2002 .until the year
2032 with such type projects as the
new streetscape to be financed with
these tax increment revenues gener-
ated within the redevelopment area
which is the entire city of Trenton. In
other words the ad valorem property
tax increase assessments or additions
since 2002 that would normally go to
the county will be transferred to the
city for a span of 30 years. The first
year the city received these funds in
2004, they received 42,648.62, in
2005 they received 86,260.06.
Of those CRA funds some 60,000.00-
is left at this time to apply toward
the streetscape project. The City has
to put in some $45,000.00 as part
of their 3.14 ad valorem tax assess-
ments which were enacted recently.
The 2006 portion which comes to
the city from the county this year is
146,459.00. So at this time the CRA
account has around 245,000.00 in
funds. The next step is to give the
RMPK Group the approval to begin
the Construction Plan which will be
done at an approximate cost of half a

million dollars. The city plans to bor-
row, against the expected CRA funds
to pay for this project.
The plan includes making medians
in the center of US 129 which will
begin at the area of the Suwannee
Valley Quilt Shoppe and continue
south to the traffic light. The median
plans down the center of main street
call for there to be live oak trees as
well as cabbage palms planted in the
medians. Mr. Ottenwess said the me-
dians will probably be maintained
by the State Road Department. The
master plan states "The transporta-
tion needs addressed in the Plan are
aimed at increasing pedestrian mobil-
ity while organizing, vehicular traffic
flow. Currently Main Street is a state
highway in both form and function,
with truck traffic dominating the en-
vironment. Main Street lacks center
medians that will help slow traffic
and control left turns. Travel lanes
are wide, allowing high-speed traf-
fic." The master plan addresses this
issue by slowing traffic by decreas-


ing the lane size in some places to 15
foot per lane, the median will be 10
feet wide with a 7-foot parking area
and planter space for live oaks and
cabbage palms which will be planted
on either side of main street. All the
side streets in the master plans will
have paved on-street parking as well
as landscaping work which includes
trees and shrubs, benches, street
lamps and trash cans. At least one
street, N.E. 1st Avenue from N.E.
1st Street to SR 26, could become
-one way. B3 making this street one
way it will allow for more parking in
the area near the courthouse and the
health department.
The master plan calls for 15 live
oak trees and 12 cabbage palms on
a typical street block ?rea, of which
there are four from the train depot to
the traffic light. This plan comes at a.
price with all the improvements, in-
cluding signs, clock tpwer, landscap-
ing, irrigation pedestrian lights, plus
the paving work, new gutters, asphalt
and sidewalk as well as trash recepta-


cles and benches. The benches come
with a price tag of $1000.00 each.
There will also be pedestrian lights
installed for the walking public. A to-
tal for all four blocks will be around
1,264,962.71.
The plan calls for each avenue
block of which there are 7 blocks in
the plan to have 12 live oaks, 60 In-
dian hawthorn, 100 liriope, mulch,
sod, irrigation system, electrical ser-
vice and pedestrian lights. The grand
total for the work on the seven block
area is $1,312,927.00. Another five
block area with a similar streetscape
work is estimated to come at a price
of $718,850.00.
According to the plan it is hoped
that a creation of an historic look will
be re-created in downtown Trenton.
It is estimated that the construction
plans could take up to one year. An
optimistic estimate on a start date
would be the beginning of 2008. The
project including permitting could
take up to a year to complete once
ground is broken.


Lou's Burgers and Bell Town Hall Take Top Honors

In Chamber Of Commerce Light contest

The Gilchrist County Chamber
of Commerce announced that Lou's

The Gilchrist Chamber of Com-
merce holds this annual contest to
give the businesses and government
offices an opportunity to design and
display a Christmas light exhibit. The
contest is reviewed by out of county
judges. The winners will receive
their individual recognition during

reopened to the public. Anglers need
to be aware of some additional re-
strictions when using Magnolia and
Lowry lakes," Byerley said.
"Anglers need to abide by the
scheduled closing times of the lakes,"
he said. "Access to these lakes should
be considered a privilege. Responsi-
ble use will hopefully result in long-
term availability of these lakes."
Use of the lakes is restricted to
fishing, according to Department of
Military Affairs and FWC officials.
Swimming, picnicking, sightseeing,
water skiing or operating a boat over
idle speed is not allowed.

Comments
By: John M. Ayers

On this first working day of 2007,
Charles "Charlie" Crist will take the
Oath of Office as Governor of the
Sunshine State. I have recently read
in several outdoor and fishing publi-
cations that the new governor will be
a friend of the outdoorsman and take
a stand to lessen further restrictions
on Florida's recreational anglers re-
garding proposed upcoming changes.
The fishing pressure in the Keys
and other parts of the state is be-
coming more and more intense.
It seems since fewer people have
the opportunity to hunt, more and
more people seem to be taking the
time to get out -on the waterways.
Florida, in the Big Bend portion
of the state, is facing some difficult
trials involving further restrictions
of boating traffic as well as how will
boats that are new to the area navi-
gate a very shallow natural waterway.
I am not in favor of further re-
strictions, but when people fail to
use common sense then the Florida
Freshwater Conservation Com-
mission takes the appropriate ac-
tions to require that people should
think before they take action.
I have talked to several people over
the holiday and everyone seems to be'
catching their share-ofifish.Almost ev-,;,,
eryone remarks about the abundance
of legal redfish being caught and
also their legal limit of speckle trout.
For myself, fishing is good
for my soul. It allows me to re-
lax and enjoy the outdoors.

of saving and investing as soon as
possible.
For example, you cannot do better
for a young child than with a gift of a
few shares of Disney. Whether Disney
is the most sanguine investment is
not relevant. What is important is
that you request the actual stock
certificate. Then you can frame it and
place it where the recipient can view
it regularly.
Decorated with Disney characters,
a Disney stock certificate is almost
a piece of art. Besides, how many
pictures can your child hang on
the wall that will likely increase in
value?
For those family members who
claim to be too old for the Mouse
and crave a more exciting life, there
are companies that most teenagers
will not only recognize, but will
likely raise their adrenaline level. For
example, Microsoft, Adobe, Intel,
Cisco and Nokia are but a few.
If video games are more their thing
then you might want to consider
such names as Activision, Electronic
Arts, Take-Two Interactive Software
and THQ. While the shares of video
game manufacturers are somewhat
speculative, that does not mean that
an enterprising teenager might not
uncover a lesser known name that is
outperforming its.brethren.
There have been countless letters
asking how to go about setting up
an account for your soon-to-be Wall
Street prodigy. To start, use only
a deep discount brokerage house.
Commissions should be under $10,
regardless how many shares are
traded. For a teenager, the shares
should be in an account that can be
viewed on demand via the Internet,
while still maintaining whatever
supervision and restriction on both
trading and the withdrawal of funds
that you deem necessary.
Ideally, you want to instill the idea
of investing as opposed to trading.
However, if your child can make a
case for moving out of one stock and
into another, based on research, why
not go along with the idea. As is the
case with investment clubs, learning
should take precedence over simply
trying for the highest possible return.
Finally, let your young investor
go it alone. Try out your ideas on
your portfolio. The more kids can
learn about investing and investment
research, the greater the likelihood
that they will be able to establish
themselves on a sound financial
footing in their adult life.
Finally, in the event no one
takes the time to express his or her
appreciation for your efforts, let me...
Thank you.

How Many Genes Does
It Take To Learn?
Lessons From Sea Slugs
Scientists analyzing the .genom-
ics of a marine snail have gotten an
unprecedented look at brain mecha-
nisms, discovering that the neural
processes in even a simple sea crea-
ture are far from sluggish.
At any given time within just a
single brain cell of sea slug known as
Aplysia, more than 10,000 genes are
active, according to scientists writing
in Friday's (Dec. 29, 2006) edition of
the journal Cell. The findings suggest
that acts of learning or the progression
of brain disorders do not take place

Divorce For $600
(Kent Heaton)


In our fast food society of drive-thru service, microwave
dinners, plastic money and ATM's serving our financial
whims of fast cash now divorces can be secured for a few
hundred dollars.-The sign was simple it was a direct
statement: "Divorces for $600." What the sign did not say
was the price paid when a divorce is granted. For a 'fist
full of dollars", a divorce could be secured and lives could
go on with their self-centered and self-indulging desires of
self. For a few hundred dollars, the summation of
heartache, pain, sorrow and tears dries upon a few
signatures of ink.
A divorce is not the beginning of something but the end.
The finality of a divorce is the culmination of two lives that
began in earnest to love and cherish one another yet fall to
the prey of self-interest. It is not about blaming others or
the ills of society. A failed marriage is brought about by the
lack of commitment on the part of either the one or the
two. Egotism drives a man to leave his wife for another
woman. Selfishness poisons the love of two people who are
seeking not the welfare of their love but the desires of their
own hearts. Six hundred dollars hides the true cost of what
a divorce will do to a family.
"For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of
Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong,"
says the LORD of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that
you do not deal treacherously" (Malachi 2:16). Why
would Jehovah God hate -divorce? He knows the
breakdown of the family element when two people divorce.


bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man" (Genesis 2:23). God
desires this union for all marriages it is a union of two
hearts that become one.
The Holy Spirit continues: "For this reason a man shall
leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife;
and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his
wife were both naked and were not ashamed" (Genesis
2:24, 25). Divorce destroys that joining and the blending of
the flesh. There is no shame in the union of a man and a
woman. God hates divorce because it destroys the
happiness of the home. The cost is high especially for
children of divorced parents. How difficult it will be for the
father to "not provoke your children to wrath, but bring
them up in the training and admonition of the Lord"
(Ephesians 6:1). Mothers would struggle to guide their
children in the example of truth and righteousness.
Divorce leaves a scar that is almost unbearable and $600
will not buy the happiness lost. In many cases, divorce
destroys a soul by its action. Jesus said, "Everyone who
divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery,
and he who marries one who is divorced from a husband
commits adultery" (Luke 16:18). An unlawful divorce ends '
in eternal heartache. Even with the allowance afforded by
,God (Matthew 19), sin can destroy the eternal happiness of
the guilty party. What a high price to pay.
"Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the
bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will

tribute to major neural events.
"For the first time we provide a
genomic dissection of the memory-
forming network," said Leonid Mo-
roz, a professor of neuroscience and
zoology at the University of Florida
Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bio-
science. "We took advantage of this
powerful model of neurobiology and
identified thousands of genes operat-
ing within a single neuron. Just dur-
ing any simple event related to mem-
ory formation, we expect differences.
in gene expression for at least 200 to
400 genes."
Researchers studied gene expres-
sion in association with specific net-
works controlling feeding or defen-
sive reflexes in the sea slug. To their
surprise, they identified more than
100 genes similar to those associated
with all major human neurological
diseases and more than 600 genes
controlling development, confirming
that molecular and genomic events
underlying key neuronal functions
were developed in early animal an-
cestors and remained practically un-
changed for more than 530 million
years of independent evolution in the
lineages leading to men or sea slugs.
Moroz and his collaborators un-
covered new information that sug-
gest that gene loss in the evolution of
the nervous system is as important as
gene gain in terms of adaptive strate-
gies. They believe that a common an-
cestor of animals had a complex ge-
nome and different genes controlling
brain/or immune functions were lost
independently in different lineages of
animals, including humans.
Until now, scientists have been
largely in the dark about how genes
control the generation of specific
brain circuitry and how genes mod-
ify that circuitry to enable learning
and memory. For that matter, little
is known about the genes that distin-
guish one neuron from the next, even
though they may function quite dif-
ferently.
Molecular analyses of Aplysia
neuronal- genes are shedding light
on these elusive processes. In 2000,
senior author Eric Kandel, M.D., of
Columbia University in New York
shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology
or Medicine for his work using Aply-
sia as a model of how memories are
formed in the human brain.
Despite its simple nervous sys-
tem Aplysia has about 10,000 large
neurons that can be easily identi-
fied, compared with about one hun-
dred billion neurons in humans the
animal is capable of learning and its
brain cells communicate in many
ways identical to human neural com-
munication.
In the new findings, scientists iden-
tified more than 175,000r gene tags
useful for understanding brain
functions, increasing by more than
100 times the amount of genomic in-
formation available for study, accord-
ing o Moroz and 22 other researchers
from UF and Columbia University.
More than half of the genes have
clear counterparts in humans and can
be linked to a defined neuronal cir-
cuitry, including a simple memory-
forming network.
"In the human brain there are a
hundred billion neurons, each ex-
pressing at least 18,000 genes, and
the level of expression of each gene
is different," said Moroz, who is affil-
iated with UF's Evelyn F. and illiam
L. McKnight Brain Institute and the
UF Genetics Institute.
"Understanding individual genes
or proteins is important, but this is a
sort of molecular alphabet. This helps
us learn the molecular grammar, or a
set of rules that can control orches-
trated activity of multiple genes in

COOKING AND CARRYING' ON


Be always at war with your vices,
at peace with your neighbors, and let
each new year find you a better man.
~Benjamin Franklin

The new year is a time of renewal,
a time to look ahead to the future,
make plans, clean up and reorga-
nize our homes, offices and even our
lives.
Many of us begin the new year by
looking back and remembering how
things were back in the day.
Remember When?
It took five minutes for the TV to
warm up?
Nobody owned a purebred dog?
When a quarter was a decent allow-
ance?
You got your windshield cleaned,
oil checked, and gas pumped, with-
out asking, all for free everytime?
It was considered a great privilege
to be taken out to dinner at a real res-
taurant with your parents?
Laundry detergent had free glasses,
dishes or towels hidden inside the
box?
No one ever asked where the car
keys were because they were.always
in the car?
Stuff from the store came with-
out safety caps and seals because no
one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger?
Lying on your back in the grass
with your friends and saying.things
like, "That cloud looks like a" and
playing, baseball with no adults to
help the kids with the rules of the
game?
When being sent to the principal's
office was nothing compared to
the fate that awaited the student at
home? Basically we were in fear of
our lives, but it wasn't because of a
drive-by shooting, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a
much bigger threat! But we survived
because their love was greater than
the threat.
Still remember Nancy Drew, the
Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy, How-
dy Dowdy and the Peanut Gallery, the
Lone Ranger, Roy and. Dale, Trigger
and Buttermilk, Hoss and Little Joe,
and Gilligan?
Our telephones had party lines?-
Green stamps, Hi-fi's, metal ice
cube trays with levers, mimeograph
paper, cork pop guns, drive-in mov-
ies, washtubs with wringers, first
time you ate at a McDonald's, penny
candy, 35 cent a gallon gasoline and
Jiffy Pop popcorn?
Remember the time when?


Decisions were made by going
"eeny-meeny-miney-moe"?
Catching the fireflies could happily
occupy an entire evening?
It wasn't odd to have two or three
best friends?
The worst thing you could catch for
the opposite sex was cooties?
Having a weapon in school meant
being caught with a slingshot?
The worst embarrassment was be-
ing picked last for a team?
Water balloons or a raw egg were
the ultimate weapons?
Talk about simpler times; if you can
remember most or all of these you
have surely lived in a simpler time
than this.

Do y'all ever have breakfast for
supper. This time of year when its
cold outside one of my favorite sup-
pers is homemade buttermilk pan-
cakes and fresh sausage patties. And
if you are really, really lucky you
have a big ol' bottle of Mr. George
Jones' sugar cane syrup to pour over
the pancakes.
The following is the recipe that I
have used for years to make pan-
cakes. If you are craving blueberry
pancakes just throw in about 1/2 cup
of fresh or frozen blueberries. You
can also sprinkle a few chopped pe-
cans into the batter'once it is poured
in the frying pan to make pecan pan-
cakes.
^u3dftte'mik JSc/zcaies
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Beat egg. Combine flour, baking
powder, soda, salt and sugar; add to
egg. Add buttermilk and oil beating
until mixture is smooth.
For each pancake. pour about 1/4.
cup batter onto a trying pan that has
about a tablespoon of butter melted'
in it. Be careful not to burn butter.
Turn pancakes when tops are covered
with bubbles and edges look cooked.
Makes 8 (4-inch) pancakes.



We are continually faced by great
opportunities brilliantly disguised as
insoluble problems.

The military newspaper "Stars and Stripes" in a report says "of the more than sixty
monuments or memorials honoring Americans and allied forces killed in the D-Day
invasion at Normandy, not a single one represents the U.S. Navy. The Naval Order of
the United States has begun its fundraising effort to collect $500,000 needed to build,
transport and erect what will be a 12-foot bronze monument honoring the U.S. Navy.
The organization is expected to dedicate the monument on June 6,.2008, the 64th
anniversary of the D-Day invasion. The foundation is accepting tax-free donations via
the mail at: Naval Order Foundation, P.O. Box 583, Glenview, IL 60025-0583, or by
visiting its Website at: www.navalorder.org."
Trenton's Post 91 meets on the second Thursday of the month at 6:00 PM at the
Post Home for the joint Executive Committee meeting with Auxiliary Unit 91. On the
third Thursday of the month, the Legion meets at 7:00 at the Post Home. There is a
Donation Dinner preceding the monthly meeting, beginning at 5:30. Come eat dinner
and stay for the meeting. The dinner is open to all in the community, so come out for
dinner, look the Post Home over, and if you are a veteran, maybe you might be
interested in becoming a part of the American Legion. Come and be a part of the
Legion Family, assisting area veterans, widows and the community. There are several
American Legion programs for the local schools and the youth in the Trenton and Bell
communities, and all that is needed is your participation in the programs. These
programs are rewarding, not only to the community, but the veterans involved as well,
so come out to help out.
With the death of former President Gerald Ford last week, President George Bush
has ordered all National flags to be placed at half-staff in honor of the former
President. The National U.S. Flag Code states "By order of the President, the flag shall
be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States
Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect
to their memory. The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the
President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President,
the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the
House of Representatives; from the day of death until interment of an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a
former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession; and on the
day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress." In following these
instructions, the flag will be at half-staff until January 26, 2007, in honor of former
President Gerald Ford.
When he entered the White House in 1974 as the 38th President, Gerald R. Ford,
Jr. became the fourth consecutive President to have served in the U.S. Navy, following
JFK, LBJ and Nixon, all WWII Naval officers.
Remember our Armed Forces each day in your thoughts and prayers, and here at
home, watch over our Legionnaires, veterans, their widows and the families of those
called to active duty in service to America. Help out whenever and however you can.
For God and Country,
Wayne Gravely,

A Year of Time. ........
Steven B. Cloud,
Pulpit Helps, Vol. 14, # 2
...Though even thinking on the
subject of time may prove discom-
forting, it is not a bad idea-espe-
cially at the beginning of a new year.
As we look into 2007 we look at
a block of time. We see 12 months,
52 weeks, 365 days, 8,760 hours,
525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 sec-
onds. And all is a gift from God.
We have done nothing to deserve it,
earn it, or purchase it. Like the air we
breathe, time comes to us as a part of
life.


The gift of time is not ours alone.
Women really o' want to be on It is given equally to each person.
time. It's jiiut that everything starts Rich and poor, educated and igno-
so darned early. rant, strong and weak-every man,
Sela Ward woman and child has the same twen-
ty-four hours every day.


Another important thing about time
is that you cannot stop it. There is no
way to slow it down, turn it off, or
adjust it. Time marches on.
And you cannot bring back time.
Once it is gone, it is gone. Yesterday
is lost forever. If yesterday is lost,
tomorrow is uncertain. We may look
ahead at a full year's block of time,
but we really have no guarantee that
we will experience any of it.
Obviously, time is one of our most
precious possessions. We can waste
it. We can worry over it. We can
spend it on ourselves. Or, as good
stewards, we can invest it in the king-
dom of God.
The new year is full of time. As the
seconds tick away, will you be toss-
ing time out the window, or will you
make every minute count?

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. (If you know
of an active military personnel who
is not listed, please contact the Gil-
christ County Journal, so that person
can be listed the next time this article

"This is a partnership effort de-
signed to provide a clear picture of
the extent and locations of damage to
primary residences, businesses and
infrastructure," said Scott R. Morris,
director of FEMA's Florida Long-
Term Recovery.
At the state's request, the Florida
Long-Term Recovery Office (FL-
TRO) deployed two individual as-
sistance teams and three public assis-
tance teams to Volusia County. One
individual assistance team was de-
ployed to Pasco County. FLTRO also
sent a debris specialist to each county
to proactively assess and anticipate
any debris removal needs.
The state will review the informa-
tion gathered during the assessments.
If the state determines the damage


exceeds state and local resources it
may seek a presidential declaration
by submitting a written request to
the President through the FEMA re-
gional office, which will recommend
a course of action.
FEMA manages federal response
and recovery efforts following any
national incident, initiates mitigation
activities and manages the National
Flood Insurance Program. FEMA
works closely with state and local
emergency managers, law enforce-
ment personnel, firefighters and other
first responders. FEMA became part
of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security on March 1, 2003.
FEMA's temporary housing as-
sistance and grants for public trans-
portation expenses, medical and den-

expenses do not require individuals
to apply for an SBA loan. However,
applicants who receive SBA loan ap-
plications must submit them to SBA
loan officers to be eligible for assis-
tance that covers personal property,
vehicle repair or replacement, and
moving and storage expenses.

Forestry Activities In
Florida During The
Winter Includes
Planting Pine Trees
Winter in Florida is the time for
many forestry activities, including
planting pine trees and applying un-
derstory prescribed fire (burning in
the woods). Both of these activities
are highly weather dependent. If
weather conditions are not appropri-
ate it can be extremely difficult to
perform these activities and achieve
the desired results. Pine seedlings
that are planted in loose, dry soil and
do not receive any immediate precipi-
tation will have much lower survival
rates than seedlings planted in moist,
compact soil that do receive imme-
diate and steady rainfall. While we
cannot custom-order our weather,
careful attention to long term predic-
tions and planning forestry activities
around predicted rain events can be
helpful.
Mature timber that has been ex-
posed to months of drought or lower
than average rainfall levels are weak-
er and less vigorous than timber that
has received normal amounts of rain-


fall. These weak trees can be stressed
further or even killed outright by the
inappropriate application of under-
story prescribed fire. Pine trees that
have been weakened or stressed are
more susceptible to attack from in-
sects and disease. One or two rain
events are generally not enough to
undo months of drought stress. An
entire rainy season may be necessary
to return standing timber to "normal"
health conditions. Be extremely
careful when performing prescribed
fire activities, especially under stand-
ing timber. As always, please call the
Florida Division of Forestry, Usher
Forestry Station (352) 493-6060 to
obtain a burning authorization for
any open burning and for piles over
8 feet in diameter. Any questions
about tree planting, prescribed fire
or any other forestry activity can be
directed to the Gilchrist County For-
ester (352) 463-3138.

EHV Conference Draws
Huge Crowd of Con-
cerned Wellington
Equestrianis
In excess of 600 concerned people
from the local equestrian community
attended a press conference hosted by
Stadium Jumping Inc., in the Jockey
Club alongside the Internationale
Arena at the Palm Beach Polo Eques-
trian Center this morning (Dec. 16).
Unfortunately, on a weekend when
the site should have been teeming
with horses and people at the AGA
National Championships--canceled
earlier this week--the issue at the
forefront of everyone's thoughts is
the recently confirmed outbreak of
equine herpesvirus (EHV).
In an effort to keep everyone in-
formed, a team of veterinarians was
on hand to present the facts and an-
swer questions with regard to this
health crisis. Present were: Dr. Mi-
chael Short from the US Depart-
ment of Agriculture (USDA) State
Veterinary Office in Tallahassee; Dr.
Maureen Long from the University
of Florida School of Veterinary Med-
icine, USDA Florida District Vet-
erinarian Dr. Julie Gauthier; Dr. Dix
Harrell, also representing the USDA
for the Florida area; and central to
the Wellington outbreak of EHV, Dr.
Scott Swerdlin of Palm Beach Equine
Clinic.
Short outlined known information
to date, including the chronology of
the outbreak that focused on a ship-
ment of horses imported from Europe
and transported from the USDA quar-
antine facility in Newburg, N.Y., on
Nov. 29. Harrell confirmed that none
of the horses had shown any clinical
signs of the disease when they were
released from quarantine. He did go
on to say, however, that horses are
not specifically tested for EHV be-

caused "substantial damage" to doz-
ens of homes and businesses and dis-
rupted electrical service to hundreds
of other homes and businesses, ac-
cording to the Governor's executive
order, which says the damage ex-
ceeds local government's capabilities
S to respond.
"Florida's recent history with hur-

ists can crawl out of the woodwork in
hopes of preying on those who suf-
fered damage," said Crist. "Citizens
S should be cautious to make sure they
don't fall victim to price gougers."
: Residents of the four affected coun-
ties who suspect price gouging as a
result of the tornadoes should call the
Attorney General's hotline at 1-866-
S9-NO-SCAM (1-866-966-7226),
and investigators will look into the
complaint. Florida law prohibits ex-
treme increases in the price of such
commodities as food, water, hotels,
ice, gasoline, lumber and equipment

Her aunt, cially declared emergency.
Under Florida law, a commodity's
price is unconscionable if the increase
in the price represents a "gross dis-

the Holy mediately prior to the declared emer-
e s safe agency. Violators of the price gouging

$25,000 for multiple violations com-
mitted in a single 24-hour period.
elle Home In addition to the civil penalties for
price gouging, state law criminalizes
the sale of goods and services to the
public without possession of an occu-
pational license. Violators of the law
can be charged with a second-degree
ring misdemeanor.
Crist cautioned consumers to be

unties af- arise in the wake of the severe weath-

fore being released, "because it's not
a foreign disease."
It was also confirmed by Short that
of a total of the six cases of EHV that
have displayed neurological symp-
toms, there.have been three fatalities.
Currently, only one barn is under a
state quarantine order, although a
second had been voluntarily quar-
antined, with, test results pending.
He added that the horse community
must remain patient because, "What
happens in the next three weeks will
determine the next three months."
Long confirmed that EHV is a la-
tent virus and can, therefore, be car-
ried by horses that themselves show
no clinical signs of the disease, a
typical "... typhoid Mary scenario."
She was also quick to point out that
there is an unfortunately "low chance
of survival" for horses that exhibit
neurological symptoms. "The good
news is that we were on to this very
quickly. The bad news is that it's her-
pes."
Long continued by saying that
"neurological signs are not always
accompanied by fever. We have a
high rate that are neurologic but don't
yet know how many horses may have
been exposed to EHV."
During her presentation, Long fo-
cused primarily on sanitization pro-
tocols based on the "best givens,"
and also unequivocally stated, "I do
not want to see people jump up at
the end of this press conference and
truck their horses a couple hundred
miles," reiterating the need for cau-
tion as stress is a known trigger factor
for EHV.
Long also addressed vaccination
issues, saying that while vaccinated
horses may not be prevented from
contracting EHV, it will certainly
"blunt the fever and reduce the
spread by reducing nasal shedding."
However, she also said that vacci-
nating now, when there has been no
history of prior vaccination against
EHV, could be contra-indicated be-
cause the vaccine itself might cause
temperature fluctuations that could
be misread.
Having been involved from the lo-
cal onset of EHV, Swerdlin outlined
the area that is currently under a
mandatory quarantine order: Pierson
Road south to 120th West, and east
from Rustic Ranches heading south
to 160th. A voluntary quarantine or-
der is also in place for the Southfields
area. He reiterated that "there are
civil criminal penalties for breaking
the orders."
During his presentation Swerdlin
said, "We have to be proactive in
order to stop it [EHV] in its tracks,"
but didn't think it was necessary to
introduce a testing protocol into a
barn where horses were showing no
fever or clinical signs. He also said
he couldn't sufficiently stress the
need for a collective effort among
the equestrian community, especially
with regard to the movement of per-
sonnel between stalls and barns.
It was suggested that all barns in-
troduce footbaths for people entering
and departing, all dogs and/or other
"barn buddies" should be leashed and
segregated, washing and/or sanitizing
hands is vital for all barn personnel,
likewise for any barn equipment and
tools that may be used for multiple
stalls--paying particular attention
to "drinking buckets" according to
Long, who, in fact, also advocated.
the use of individual manure buck-
ets and pitchforks, stressing that if
a horse sneezes, the nasal discharge
can be sprayed 35 feet.
Short confirmed that as of today's
date, there were no inter-state restric-

tions in force, but strongly recom-
mended that if horses are scheduled
for shipment into the area, "wait sev-
en days. A lot can happen between
now and then" that could determine
the course of the disease, with spe-
cific implications for the upcoming
show season.
In this regard, Swerdlin said that
there would need to be a 21-day pe-
riod with no horses showing clinical
signs (fever) of EHV before a barn
could be deemed clear of infection.
In the meantime, he suggested twice-
daily temperature taking in order to
identify early onset.
Overall, given the level of anxiety
among local horse owners, the press
conference was extremely informa-
tive and answered a great many ques-
tionsin terms of the current situation
and how the community can work to-
gether to ensure the earliest possible
containment and eradication of this
disease.
A hand-out entitled: EHV-1 Bios-
ecurity Information Sheet contained
the following information:
Horse stables on or surrounding
the Wellington show grounds are to
have temperatures taken a minimum
of twice daily, with a temperature
log being maintained for each horse.
Horses whose fevers are 102.0 or are
greater than one degree above their
normal temperature should be re-
ported to the state veterinarian's of-
fice and the stable's veterinarian. The
horse should be isolated and samples
taken by the stable veterinarian to in-
clude whole blood (EDTA tube) and
nasal swab for PCR testing of EHV-
1.
Precautionary measures for bio-se-
curity should be employed.,
S1) Limit admittance of people into
the barns. Allow only essential indi-
viduals. When entering or exiting a
stable or barn, use footbaths to disin-
fect outer footwear.
2) Wash hands with soap and water
after handling each horse.
3) Minimize use of shared equip-


ment. Equipment such as water buck-
ets, lead ropes, grooming equipment,
etc., should not be shared. Items
belonging to each individual horse
should be labeled. Other equipment
should be disinfected daily and be-
tween each use.
4) Care should be taken when fill-
ing buckets and feed troughs. Neither
the horse nor the feed scoop should
have contact with the bucket or
trough.
5) Multi-dose medications should
not be shared between horses. For ex-
ample, oral medication such as bute,
banamine, surpass, etc.
Plus any -additional biosecurity.
precautions the stable veterinarian or
stable manager might deem appropri-
ate.
Florida's Association of Equine
Practitioners' Web site will be post-
ing updates starting this afternoon,
and hereafter with regard to on-going
developments.
The entire press conference was
videotaped, and as a public service,
will be available for free viewing on.

dogs had a 64-36 lead and the junior'
varsity players were showing good
signs for the future. James Thomas
led the Bulldogs with 9 rebounds and
both TJ Frier and John Bailey had
several steals. The story of the game
was the strong offense of David Bai-
ley and Tyson Railey who both scored
18 points. The Bulldogs got an easy
victory winning it 85-47.
Both Bulldog teams had won the
previous day's game and came to
Branford Friday night looking to
win the tournament. Ironically both
of'Brahford's- teams had won their
games as well. So the Bulldog/Buc-
caneer showdown began with the
girls. The first quarter was low scor-
ing as the teams felt each other out.
The Lady Bulldogs wore down the
Lady Bucs in the second quarter and
went on a scoring spree in the last
five minutes of the half. The Lady
Bulldogs started the second half with
a 37-15 lead and looked like they had
the win. This didn't slow them down
although. They made Branford cre-
ate errors and caused turnovers. The
Lady Bulldogs led the game by as
much as 30.points. In the final min-
utes, Coach Harden, his starters and
Branford closed the gap to eleven be-
fore the game ended. The Lady Bull-
dogs won the Holiday Country Clas-
sic with the final score of 53-42.
The final game of the tournament

Ferrellgas Offers Safety
Tips For Heating
Appliances
As winter weather sets in, the em-
ployee-owners of the Ferrellgas team
want to remind local homeowners to
be safe when heating their homes.
"Propane space heaters can be an
efficient and effective way to keep
warm," says Service Center General
Manager Andy Gatlin. "However,'it
is crucial that safety precautions are
carefully followed and the appliances
are used for their intended purpose
only. Some propane space heaters are
'designed only for use outdoors. Oth-
ers are designed only for use indoors.
Check your owner's manual or con-
tact a qualified service technician to
be sure you are using the right kind
of heater."
Even when used properly, any
heating device can emit dangerous
levels of odorless, tasteless, and dan-
gerous carbon monoxide (CO). The
following suggestions and safety tips
were compiled by Ferrellgas, the Na-
tional Propane Gas Association, and
the Propane Education and Research
Council.
Have a qualified service technician
check your propane appliances and
venting systems annually, preferably
before the heating season begins.
Be aware of the dangers of carbon
monoxide. High levels of CO can be
generated from heaters that are not
designed for indoor use. High levels
of CO can make you dizzy, give you
headaches, or cause flu-like symp-
toms. In extreme cases, extended
exposure to CO can result in brain
damage or death. Install UL-listed
CO detectors on every level of your
home, or as recommended by the
manufacturer. Never use a gas oven
or range-top burners to provide space
heating. Never use portable heaters
indoors, unless they are designed and
approved for indoor use. Never use
a barbecue grill (propane or char-
coal) indoors for cooking or heating.
Regularly check your appliance ex-
haust vents for blockage.
If you suspect CO is present, act
immediately.
1. If you or a family member show
physical symptoms of CO poison-
.ing, get everyone out of the building
and call 911 or your local fire depart-
ment.
2. If it is safe to do so, open win-
dows to allow entry of fresh air, and
turn off any appliances you suspect
may be releasing the CO.

3. If no one has physical symptoms
of CO poisoning, but you suspect that
CO is present, call your propane re-

Manatee Springs State
Park Announces Guided
Paddling Trips
December marks the beginning of
Manatee Springs State Park's winter
paddling program. Every Friday at
8:30 a.m. the park offers a guided ca-
noe/kayak trip on the spring run and
out into the Suwannee River. De-
cember also is the time of year park
visitors can expect to see manatees
returning from other areas of the Gulf
Coast seeking refuge from the colder
waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
"For park visitors, the milder tem-
peratures of winter offer relief from
the humidity and insects often en-
countered in the summer," says Sally
Lieb, Park Manager. )Lieb added "the
water of the Suwannee River is of-
ten clearer in the winter making it an
ideal opportunity to see manatees as
you paddle the river."
Participants should have at least
some paddling experience but the
trip is easy to moderate and does not
require advanced paddling skills.
The paddle departs the kayak/canoe
ramp at the spring run at 8:30 a.m.
and is limited to the first 10 boats reg-
istered on the day of the paddle.
The paddling trips will continue
through the last Friday in March
2007. The trip is free with a paid
park admission if you have your own
boat. Those needing a rental canoe
or kayak can make arrangements
with Suwannee River Tours at (352)
949-0379 no later than'5:00 p.m. on
Thursday, the day before the paddle.
For more information about this or
any other park program or activity,
please call John Lohde, Park Services
Specialist at (352) 493-6823.

Author Lectures On
Florida's Statewide Civil
Rights Movement At
The Matheson
Museum
Paul Ortiz, an associate professor
of community studies at the Universi-
ty of California, Santa Cruz will give
a lecture at the Matheson Museum on
Thursday, January 18th, 2007 at 7:00
p.m. Dr. Ortiz will talk about his
most recent book entitled Emancipa-
tion Betrayed: The Hidden History
of Black Organizing and White Vio-
lence in Florida from Reconstruction
to the Bloody Election of 1920, which
looks at African-American Floridians
who organized the first statewide
civil rights movement in the United
States. The lecture is sponsored by
the Florida Humanities Council.
Decades before the Montgom-
ery bus boycott, African-Americans
in Jacksonville, Florida, organized
streetcar boycotts that forced the
city to abandon efforts to segregate
the system. That little-known act of
rebellion is one of many instances
of African Americans organizing
against white supremacy that his-
torian Paul Ortiz, an associate pro-
fessor of Community Studies at the
University of California, Santa Cruz,
documents in Emancipation Betrayed
(Berkeley, CA: University of Califor-
nia Press, 2005) http://www.ucpress.
edu/books/pages/10102.html.
Handed down within black fami-
lies but unknown among histori-
ans, the story of black resistance in
Florida from Reconstruction until the
bloody election of 1920 is an. inspir-
ing chapter of U.S. history. Written
for a general 'audience, Emancipa-
tion Betrayed focuses on the African
American struggle for voting rights
while documenting networks of se-
cret societies, fraternal organizations,
labor unions, and churches that black
Floridians relied on to organize and
sustain themselves in the state with
the highest lynching rate in the coun-
try.
"They created the first statewide
civil rights movement in U.S. his-
tory," said Ortiz. "This book is really
about what happens when people are
faced with political terrorism--how
they'challenge that and find the cour-
age and self-confidence needed to put
together a social movement."
Through oral histories, Ortiz
learned about the courageous actions
of African-Americans who fought
for their rights at enormous risk to
themselves and their families. Sam


Dixie, and octogenarian, told of
blacks taking up arms in self-defense
and shared his childhood memories
of a shootout in his hometown of
Quincy between blacks and the ku
Klux Klan. The Klan had found out
about a secret oath taken by members
of the Colored Knights of Pythias, a
black fraternal organization, to fight
for their rights, and Klansmen burned
the lodge and killed several during
the shootout. That memory was the
catalyst that "completely changed
my understanding of American his-
tory and social change," wrote Ortiz
in the preface to the book.
Ortiz described going "back and
back" in time, picking up threads of
resistance. "We are not taught to see
African Americans as protagonists
fighting for their own rights, but that's
exactly what these people did," he
said. Black Floridians found inspira-
tion in the activism of their parents
and grandparents. In 1901 and 1905,
black residents of Jacksonville orga-
nized boycotts that forced the city to
abandon efforts to segregate the state
legislature. "It isn't like every effort
was successful," noted Ortiz.)
The Colored Knights of Pythias,
which at one point claimed one in
six African-American men in Florida
as members, was a vital avenue for
organizing, according to Ortiz. Af-
ter World War I, the Knights passed
a resolution requiring each member
to pay his poll tax and register as to
vote before the 1920 election or face
expulsion. Churches and other or-
ganizations promptly followed suit.
Years of organizing culminated with
the 1920 presidential election in Flor-
ida, when the state sanctioned white
supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan to
used violence to prevent blacks from
voting. Between 30 and 60 African
Americans were killed, according to
cautious estimates by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People (NAACP), and
scores were wounded and displaced.
Despite copious evidence of political
terror presented during a Congressio-
nal investigation, the election results
were certified. The Florida move-
ment was defeated.
Despite the tragic outcome, the
legacy of early black activism in
Florida is a powerful one. With roots
in the days of slavery, it set the stage
for the Civil Rights Movement of the
1960's, said Ortiz. "Black Floridians'
courageous struggle for emancipation
established the grounds for our mod-
ern expectation that all adults in the
United States have the right to vote,"
he said. "This is a brutal part of our

be at the Matheson Museum, 513

Professor Ortiz received his Ph.D.
in history from Duke University in
2000. He earned his Bachelor's de-
gree from the Evergreen State Col-
lege in 1990 after transferring from
Olympic Community College. Be-
tween 1982 and 1986 Ortiz served as

Excerpts from Reviews of Eman-
cipation Betrayed:
"Emancipation Betrayed is a re-
markable piece of work, a tightly
argued, meticulously researched
examination of the first statewide
movement by African Americans for
civil rights, a movement which since
has been effectively erased from our


collective memory. The book poses
a profound challenge to our under-
standing of the limits and possibili-
ties of African American resistance
in the early twentieth century. This
analysis ,of how a politically and
economically marginalized commu-
nity nurtures the capacity for strug-
gle speaks as much to our time as
to 1919."--Charles Payne, author of
I've Got The Light of Freedonm: The
Organizing Tradition and the Missis-
sippi Freedom Struggle
"Paul Ortiz's lyrical and closely
argued study introduces us to the
unknown generations of freedom
fighters for who organizing demo-
cratically became in every sense a
way of life. Ortiz changes the very
ways we think of Southern History
as he shows in marvelous detail how
Black Floridians came together to de-
fend themselves in the face of terror,
to bury their dead, to challenge Jim
Crow, to vote, and to dream."--Da-
vid R. Roediger, author of Colored
White: Transcending the Racial Past
"Paul Ortiz's Emancipation Be-
trayed is one of those rare books that
alter much of what we know about
American history. As 'both an essen-
tial teaching of American history and
a critical resource for understanding
grassroots organizing today, Paul
Ortiz's Emancipation Betrayed de-
serves the widest possible audience.-
-Randy Shaw, author of The Activist's
Handbook

PAWS Program Offers
Veterinary Care
Support To Seriously Ill
Pet Owners
Many people who suffer from
debilitating illnesses such as can-
cer and AIDS struggle emotionally,
physically and financially to care for
themselves, so properly looking after
their four-legged family members
can quickly become more effort than
they can shoulder alone.
Enter the Pets Are Wonderful Sup-
port group, or PAWS, at the Univer-
sity of Florida College of Veterinary
Medicine.
"We generally have 20 to 30 cli-
ents, and each of them can have a
limit of three pets that we'll treat,"
said Jenna Ashton, class of '07, who
since 2001 has played a key role in
running PAWS and currently serves
as its vice president of surgery.
Richard Martin, a retired Pacific
Bell employee whose income is a
monthly disability check, has been
a PAWS client for five or six years,
he said. Martin has brought Rip, his
13-year-old Rhodesian ridgeback
crossbred dog, to PAWS for routine
physical examinations and for peri-
odic biopsies of the fatty tumors Rip
is prone to getting on his body.
Martin first heard about PAWS
through the Ryan White program at
the public health department.
"It has really been a blessing for
us," said Martin, who acquired Rip
as a puppy from his nephew. "I prob-
ably couldn't afford to have a pet if I


had to pay all the costs myself, after
rent, utilities and insurance."
PAWS works with representatives
of community organizations that
serve individuals with special health
needs to identify potential clients.
Participants must certify that they
have a terminal or debilitating ill-
ness, and that they meet low-income
criteria.
"The program was patterned af-
ter one in California that was set up
specifically to help AIDS patients at
a time when they were considered
pariahs and often had no one for
emotional support, except their pets,"
said Jack Gaskin, D.V.M., who along
with Amy Stone, D.V.M., serves as
PAWS' clinical instructor and ad-
viser. Natalie Isaza, D.V.M., is the
group's surgery supervisor.
He added that PAWS volunteers are
compassionate, community-minded
and dedicated to the true calling for
many veterinarians: the human-ani-
mal bond.
"Our clients are needy and very
grateful that these young profession-
als-to-be take time from their busy
schedules to assist them and their
pets," Gaskin said. "It's very much
a mutually beneficial relationship."
Gaskin, credited the program's found-
er, UF veterinary college professor
emeritus Tom Lane, D.V.M., with the
program's success. Lane, who also
helped to create the college's 24-hour
pet loss support hotline, retired in
2000.
"So much of the veterinary com-
munity has benefited from Dr. Lane's
largesse and expertise," Gaskin said.
"He is very iuch a credit to our col-
lege."
To participate in surgery clinics,
students must have completed either
the shelter medicine or surgical rota-
tions, whereas for general clinics to
serve as doctors under faculty super-
vision students must be juniors or
seniors and have taken either general
medicine or small animal medicine.

Freshman and sophomore students
serve as technicians.
Money is allocated to the group
through the Veterinary Medical Col-
lege Council, which receives funding
from the UF-wide Board of College
Councils. Gaskin said PAWS also had
benefited from support from West-
side Animal Hospital and its owner,
veterinarian Wilbur Wood, D.V.M.,
as well as from Micanopy Animal
Hospital and its owner, veterinarian
Molly Pearson, D.V.M.
"They really helped in the early
phases of the program by volunteer-
ing their clinics, staff and resources,"
Gaskin said. "In addition, Cheryl
Shechta and her associates at Webster
Veterinary Supply have been very
generous in donating supplies over
the years."
In addition to supplies provided
through Webster, pharmaceutical
companies including Pfizer, Novar-
tis and Bayer have donated medica-
tion to be distributed to pets receiv-
ing care through the program. Hills
Pet Food has donated food for PAWS
participants as well. PAWS also rep-
resents a meaningful learning oppor-
tunity for student volunteers.
"What's really important about
PAWS is that third- and fourth-year
students with clinical experience
give guidance to first- and second-
year students who, in turn, gain first-
hand experience dealing with clients,
patients and routine veterinary care
issues before they enter their formal
clinics," Gaskin said. "The PAWS en-
vironment is low-key and unhurried,
so students have the opportunity to
learn their way around the small ani-
mal clinic and gain some clinical ex-
pertise in advance of their classmates
who choose not to participate."

Turning Cold Weather
Into Hot Fishing
Underwater Tactics with Ken Cook
If it's not snow or freezing rain, it's
bone-chilling air temperatures and icy
winds that, make a day on the water
nearly insufferable. But just because
you're uncomfortable, it doesn't
mean that the bass are. Sure, it's De-
cember, it's cold outside and I'm sure
you still have some holiday shopping
to do, but bass are still in the lake.
If they want to make it through the
winter they will have to eat.
As the water temperature drops,
bass follow the migrating shad out to
deeper water (deep being anywhere
from 30 to 40 feet in clear, deep lakes
or six to eight feet in murky, shallow.
ones). Use your electronics and find
the balls of-shad. There's sure toQbe
some bass nearby, holding up in ver-
tical, deep cover. Typically, bass will
be easier to find down lake on out-


side channel swings, bluff faces and
points with vertical drops.
Since bass are cold blooded, the
colder water has slowed them down
- so you should slow down, too. This
ties in directly to your bait selection,
the most important aspect to catching
bass in the cold. Just because the bass
are following migrating shad that
doesn't mean that's all they will eat.
Fish biologists have discovered that a
bass prefers a bait about three inches
long and about an inch in diameter.
That jig that you spent all summer
pitching into the bushes will do just
fine. But instead of relying on the
oldest known fishing lure by itself, I
like to dress mine up with the newest
technological advancement in fishing
bait.
On a 3/8-ounce jig, I trim the skirt
just past the hook to keep it from hav-
ing too large a profile since I want to'
put a large trailer on it. I rig a Berk-
ley Gulp! Bat Wing Frog as the trail-
er. These two baits are meant to be
fished slow the perfect presentation
for a cold-blooded bass in winter-
time. I cut the front of the bait off just
behind the eye and thread it onto the
jig hook. The legs on the Bat Wing
Frog flutter like crazy on the fall and
with the slightest movements.
The Gulp! trailer isn't made of
plastic so it actually breathes un-
derwater and disperses scent like no
other bait ever made. And the slower
you fish it, the more scent builds up
in an area, expanding the strike zone
by drawing in sluggish fish in search
of an easy meal that might have not
been interested otherwise.
There's no secret to catching bass
in the middle of winter. Just like any
other time of year, you have to figure
out the right pattern. And once you
figure out where they are, slow down
your presentation. The fishing can be
good enough to make you forget all
about the plummeting temperatures.

ter Classic champion and a,14-time
Classic qualifier. A former fisheries
biologist, Cook lives on a ranch in
Meers, Oklahoma.


Wild Horse And Burro
Adoption To Be Held In
Mobile, Alabama On
January 20th-21st
The Department of Interior, Bu-
reau of Land Management-Eastern
States (BLM-ES) will hold a special
wild horse and burro adoption at the
Mobile County Agri-Ed Pavilion in
Mobile, Alabama, January 20th-21st,
2007.
"A special selection of animals
will be available to good homes for
an adoption fee starting at $125' said
BLM-ES Director Mike Nedd. There
will be about 60 horses and 15 burros
at this adoption including, geldings,
mares, and yearling horses. "This' is
your chance to get the special wild
horse or burro you have always want-
ed," he said.


The wild horse adoption will be
from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sat-
urday, January 20, 2007. Remaining
animals will be available for adop-
tion Sunday, January 21, 2007, from

blm.gov/adoption or http://www.
es.blm.gov/whb/ to get requirement
information and download an appli-
cation to become a qualified adopter.
While the adoption process is
simple and straightforward, anyone
considering adoption of a wild horse

,Burro Program began in 1973, over
213,000 animals have been adopted
nationwide, and of those adopted
there were 3,858 adopted in Ala-
bama, 4,566 adopted in Florida, and
4,306 adopted in Mississippi.

The BLM manages more land
- 262 million surface acres than
any other Federal agency. Most of
this public land is located in 12 West-
ern States, including Alaska. The
Bureau, with a budget of about $1.8
billion, also administers 700 million
acres of sub-surface mineral estate
throughout the nation. The BLM's
multiple-use mission is to sustain the
health and productivity of the public
lands for the use and enjoyment of
present and future generations. The
Bureau accomplishes this by manag-
ing such activities as outdoor recre-
ation, livestock grazing, mineral de-
velopment, and energy production,
and by conserving natural, historical,
and cultural resources on the publicc
lands, .

The John Hance O'Steen Camp
770, Sons of Confederate Veter-
ans, Olustee Chapter #2488, United
Daughters of the Confederacy and
Lees' Legacy #946, Children of the
Confederacy collected toys for those
in need within the Tri-County area.
Our organizations would love to
collect for the Toys for Tots program
but due to their deadline for pick-
ing up the toys, it does not work for
our members or our collection. We
turned the toys that we collected over
to Arlene Cameron of the Gilchrist
County Sheriff Department. She
passed out the toys to the families
that were in need.
This year we collected twice the
amount of toys as we did last year
and hope to do more next year.
The John Hance O'Steen Camp
770 is a non- profit organization. Our
goals are educational, living history,
working with the Tri-County com-
munity, and helping with our schools
within the state.
Our camp meets every third Tues-

After-Hours Nature
Program At Okefenokee
National Wildlife Refuge
Discover things that go "bump"
in the night! Find out what roams
the refuge when the lights go down.
Join staff and volunteers on January
131h to listen and look for bats, frogs,
raccoons, and owls, as well as other
creatures of the night, on a one and a
half mile stroll down Swamp Board-
walk. Meet at 5:00 p.m. at the visitor
Center parking lot located at the east
entrance to the refuge about 11 miles
southwest of Folkston, Georgia, off
Hwy 121. After a short introduction
at the pavilion, participants will drive
down the Swamp Island Drive to the
Boardwalk. The program will finish
by 7:00 p.m.
Fear of the dark and what lurks
there keeps some people behind
closed doors after the sun goes down.
Many of the scariest horror movies
ever made capitalize on this basic
human emotion. Whether it's a mys-
terious rustling of bushes, or strange
sounds emanating from the shadows,
movieamakers.excel atrbuilding their
viewers'..suspense, level: until the
climactic 'finale. In reailtv. the rus-


tling sound in the bushes is probably
nothing more than a harmless arma-
dillo, blindly rooting in the ground
for grubs. Perhaps that faint scream
heard off in the distance at night is a
bobcat, proclaiming its territory to all
who will listen. Maybe that "whoosh"
sound overhead is the wing-beat of a
barred owl, flying from one roost to
another under the night's sky. Join
us for a fun-filled evening, as we go
in search of things that go "bump" in
the night.
Preregistration is required. Par-
ticipants must register at the Visitor
Center before 5:00 p.m. where they
will receive a special program pass.
This program is limited to the first 30

able clothes and shoes to walk in.
This event is subject to cancellation
in'the event of inclement weather.
Refuge entrance fees are not re-
quired after 3:00 p.m. For more in-
formation, please contact the visitor
center at (912) 496-7836.

2007. This is a one time change
and we'll be back to Mondays next
month, February 5th, 2007.
Although our first walk this fall had
few birds they were interesting ones.
A Red-shouldered Hawk was our first
not sighting but hearing...and eventu-
ally we did see the bird soaring over
the swamp. We walked down the
River Trail. This trail through Cy-
press Swamp which is now quite
dry was very quiet. One feels as if
one were walking through the Forest
Primaeval. Then comes a boardwalk
that ends at a lookout over the river.
By scanning the river we soon found
a Pied-billed Grebe, a Coot and some
Cormorants while behind us a flock
of smaller birds landed in the top of
a leafless tree. They were Robins. Up
north the harbinger of spring, here
they bring our fall weather.
Again, meet on Saturday, January
6th, 2007 at the Refuge Headquar-
ters. For directions call me, Joan Ste-
phens (325) 463-1095.

ment area rule. Heath cited the hunt-
er for taking an illegal deer.
COLUMBIA COUNTY
Officers Todd Hoyle and Leslie
Sharp received information from two
off-duty Columbia County Deputies
on December 19th, regarding night
hunting near their residence. As it
turned out, three suspects were iden-
tified as having shot a spike buck in
an undeveloped new neighborhood
with the. aid of their truck head-
lights, while parked in the road. One
dropped off to drag the deer thru the
woods to another road where the
truck picked him up. The shooter was
charged with taking antlerless deer'
during closed season, taking wildlife
at night with a gun and light, and dis-
charging a firearm from a paved pub-
lic road. The other two were charged
with possession of an antlerless deer
during closed season. A 30-30 Mar-
lin rifle along with two bags of deer
meat were seized as evidence.
December 16th, Investigator Mike
Pridgen responded to a call about
trespass hunting. Pridgen arrived at
the leased hunting club and found the
leaseholder with a Columbia County
man and wife.- The couple had shot a
hen turkey on the lease. Neither had a
Florida hunting license. The man was
cited for no hunting license and tak-
ing hen turkey. The wife was issued
a warning for no hunting license and
the husband was issued warning for
trespass. The couple had knowingly
entered the leased property on their
all-terrain vehicle and taken the tur-
key. Columbia County Sheriffs Of-.
fice assisted.
DIXIE COUNTY
December 20th, Investigator Larry
Ayers and Officer Justin Allen were
targeting marine resource violations
on the Suwannee River at Alligator
Pass. While checking an individual
who claimed he had not caught any
fish, the officers found two under-
sized Red Drum attached to a stringer
under the boat. The individual was
charged with under-sized redfish and
over-the-bag limit.
DUVAL
December 15th, Officer Tim Sweat
was on land patrol in Duval County.
While driving through the city of
Baldwin, Sweat observed a Toyota
pickup with an obscured tag and a
broken tail light. After stopping the
truck, Sweat noticed blood stains on
the tailgate. When questioned; the
driver stated that his son, the passen-
ger in the vehicle, had taken a deer
the day before. He also stated that
the deer in the cooler, which was in
the bed of the truck, was illegal. The
deer meat and head in the cooler was
that of a short antlered buck. The pas-
senger was charged with the viola-
tion. The meat and head were seized.
HAMIILTON COUNTY
Officer Spence Yon responded to a
trespass complaint where an individ-
ual was reported to be hunting out of
a deer stand on private property. The
property owners insisted that trespass
charges be filed on the individual.
The witnesses gave written state-
ments and the defendant was notified
to appear in court.
Officer Arlo Rissman assisted the
Kiwanis Club with their second tur-
key shoot. As before, the event gave
participants the opportunity to ask
questions about FWC programs.
LAFAYETTE COUNTY
Officers Matt Tyre and Bryan
Humphries were working a night
hunting complaint area near the La-
fayette/Dixie County line when they
observed a vehicle driving slowly
and working a light. The vehicle was
stopped and three Dixie County resi-
dents were identified. In the vehicle
were two spotlights and one loaded
Ruger M77 Mark II .243 rifle. The
driver and passenger were issued ci-
tations for hunting at night with gun
and light violations and the female
passenger was issued a written warn-
ing. The rifle and lights were seized.
Officer Dennis Sharpe and Rodney
Boone received information from
the Royal Gorge Hunt Club about a
hunter who had shot a doe deer. The
officers located several witnesses and
obtained sufficient information to lo-
cate the person in the Tennille Camp-
ground at US 19 and SR 51 in Taylor
County. The Okeechobee County
resident gave statements and was
given a notice to appear in Lafayette
County. The meat was seized.
SUWANNEE COUNTY

ing a "trophy" deer illegally taken
from a private game farm on Hwy 49
outside Live Oak. Martin was able to
recover the deer, antlers and identify
four individuals involved. Charges
filed include trespass, grand theft,
discharge of a firearm from a public
road, and accessory to grand theft.
TAYLOR COUNTY
December 17th, Officer Randy
McDonald received a call from the
president of a local hunt lease. The
president told McDonald he had
watched three hunters throw a bur-
lap sack into the woods after being
alerted to his presence in the area.
The club president located the sack
and, found freshly butchered deer
meat inside. Fortunately, the club
president recognized the subjects
and turned their names over to Mc-
Donald. When McDonald arrived
on scene, he located a freshly butch-
ered doe deer with only the hams
and back strap removed. McDonald
located the subject's phone numbers
and called the subjects, who were en
route back home to Pasco County.
During the phone conversation, one
of the subjects claimed to kill the doe
deer because it appeared injured. A
subsequent necropsy, completed by a
FWC wildlife biologist, determined
the doe had no prior injuries and died
from a single gunshot through the
front shoulder and lung. Charges will
be filed for taking an antlerless deer
out of season.
December 21st, Officer Randy Mc-
Donald arrested a subject for attempt-
ing to take deer with a gun and light.
McDonald watched the subject make
several U-turns along US 98 before
shooting at a deer feeding alongside
the highway.
Investigator Guy Carpenter con-
cluded an investigation stemming
from an incident that occurred in
Spring Creek WMA on December
3rd. This incident involved a man
and his grandson walking down a
woods trail, with the grandfather
shooting at "bright eyes trail mark-
ers" attached to a tree. The grandfa-
ther was unaware that down the trail
was a man in a tree stand. Concerned
for his safety, the man in the tree stand
called for help on his cell phone. As
a result of the investigation, Carpen-
ter issued a warning for unsafe use
of a firearm and direct filed charges
for possession of a firearm by a con-
victed felon.
UNION COUNTY
Officer Bret Gill was called by the
Union County Sheriff's Office to
assist with a night/road hunting in-
cident in progress near the sheriff's
residence December 1st. A truck was
seen and heard by a neighbor shin-
ing and shooting a spike buck along
a county road. The shooter got out
and the truck began to pull away
when a motorist began to follow
the truck. The motorist called 911
and continued to follow the suspect
vehicle. At some point, the suspect
driver stopped his truck, got out, and
shot at the following motorist and
his passenger with a .38 pistol. The
projectile lodged in the gas tank of
the following vehicle. The suspect
driver then sped off. FWC Lieuten-
ants David Lee and David Ferguson,
and Officers Billy Giles (K-9) and
Zach Clark along with other Union
County deputies and Department of
Corrections K-9 teams assisted. The
suspect was stopped and arrested for
two counts of aggravated battery, dis-
charging a firearm into an occupied
vehicle, taking deer at night with
a gun and a light, and taking deer
from a roadway. His partner (the
dropped-off hunter) was later located
and charged with trespass with a fire-
arm, taking deer at night with a gun
and light, taking deer from a road-
way, and giving a false statement.
The shotgun used was located in the
woods along with the deer. The sus-
pect vehicle was towed, the .38 pis-
tol and shotgun were seized, and the
deer was donated.

FEMA Preliminary
Disaster Assessment
Teams Deployed To
Tornado-Damaged
Counties
At the request of the State of Flor-
ida, the U.S. Department of Home-
land Security's Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Pre-
liminary Damage Assessment Team
(PDA) members were deployed at
8:00 a.m. today to Volusia and Pas-
co Counties which were struck by
tornados on Christmas Day. FEMA
received the request December 26thl
shortly after 5:00 p.m.
Joint PDA teams, led by county
emergency managers, include local
and state officials as well as repre-
sentatives of the U.S. Small Business


Administration (SBA) and FEMA.
The teams will visit and inspect dam-
aged areas and document the find-
ings.
"This is a partnership effort de-
signed to provide a clear picture of
the extent and locations of damage to
primary residences, businesses and
infrastructure," said Scott R. Morris,
director of FEMA's Florida Long-
Term Recovery.
At the state's request, the Florida
Long-Term Recovery Office (FL-
TRO) deployed two individual as-
sistance teams and three public assis-*
tance teams to Volusia County. One
individual assistance team was de-
ployed to Pasco County. FLTRO also
sent a debris specialist to each county
to proactively assess and anticipate
any debris removal needs.
The state will review the informa-
tion gathered during the assessments.
If the state determines the damage
exceeds state and local resources it
may seek a presidential declaration
by submitting a written request to
the President through the FEMA re-
gional office, which will recommend
a course of action.
FEMA manages federal response
and recovery efforts following any
national incident, initiates mitigation

How Many Genes Does
It Take To Learn?
Lessons From Sea Slugs
(Continued from Page Two)
specific neurons. If we are going to
understand memory or neurological
disease at the cellular level, we need
to understand the rules."
Scientists also analyzed 146 human
genes implicated in 168 neurologi-
cal disorders, including Parkinson's
and Alzheimer's diseases, and genes
controlling aging and stem-cell dif-
ferentiation. They found 104 coun-
terpart genes in Aplysia, suggesting
it will be a valuable tool for de\ elop-
ing treatments for neurodegenerative
diseases.
"The authors have assembled a
tremendous amount of data on gene
transcripts associated with neuronal
signaling pathways in Aplysia that
sheds new light on evolutionary re-
lationships of this very ancient and
highly successful marine animal,"
said Dennis Steindler, Ph.D., execu-
tive director ofUF's McKnight Brain
Institute, who did not participate in
the research. "A very important part
of this study is the discovery of novel
genes not'formerly associated with
the mollusk genome that include
many associated with neurological
disorders."
The findings are especially impor-
tant for scientists using mollusks.in
experimental systems, according to
Edgar Walters, Ph.D., a professor of
integrative biology and pharmacol-
ogy at the University of Texas Medi-
cal School at Houston, who was not
involved in the research.
"Few animals other than Aplysia
allow scientists to relate a molecular
pathway directly to the function ofa
cell, all in context with an animal's
behavior," Walters said. "In a mam-
mal, it's hard to identify and manipu-
late a single cell and know what its
function is. With Aplysia, there is
direct access to whatever cell you're
interested in with just a micropipette.
As a scientist who wants to know
which molecules are present in Aply-
sia for experimental manipulation, I
am very happy to see this paper come
out."
