Despite a little rain, the meeting was held as planned in the Cooperative's Operation Cen- ter just outside of Chiefland. Coop- erative members,. the real honored guests at this meeting, were both entertained and informed, and if they were lucky, went home with one of the many door prizes given away at the meeting's end. Entertainment for the event was provided by the Gospel singing group, The Pickerings. At 10 a.m., the business meeting was called to order by CFEC Trustee and current President Tony Weeks. Rev. Greg Douglas, pastor of Pine Grove Baptist Church, gave the in- vocation. In the President's report, Weeks said that CFEC is in sound financial condition, and while they are working hard to meet the needs of the growing service area, they are also trying to keep costs in line so that members continue to have af- fordable, as well as reliable, power. SWeeks recognized several employ- ees who retired this year after many years of service to cooperative mem- bers. Those retiring were as follows: Freddie Hiers, Bill Ditter, James As- bell and Herman Gentry. The guest speaker for this year's Randy Mikell, Alan Mikell and district trustees. annual meeting was Tim Woodbury, Executive Vice President and Gener- al Manager of Seminole Electric Co- operative, the generation and trans-, mission cooperative that supplies CFEC's power. Woodbury said that the culture of sensationalism in the media about the environment and, specifically, global warming is not a good backdrop for creating sound energy policy. Hysteria created by Hollywood and others only serves to confuse the issues, not solve them. "It is more important than ever that consumers stay armed with the facts - that they understand the ramifica- tions of what their policy makers and elected officials in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C. are doing with regard to energy policy," Woodbury 0 0- in5 0 r- By Carrie A. Mizell A dinner will be held on Friday, Oct. 19 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in front of Trenton High School's football stadium to support the THS student government and homecoming 2007. The dinner will consist of barbecue chicken or fried fish with a choice of two sides: baked beans, potato salad or cheese grits. Also included is a homemade dessert and a drink. THS is currently pre-selling tickets for $5 each and $7 at the door. To pre-pur- chase tickets, call the school at 463- 3210. Homecoming 2007 will officially kick off on Monday, Oct. 22 and conclude with the crowning of the homecoming king and queen during the Tigers football game vs. Branford on Oct. 26. This year's homecoming theme is: "Tigers Got the Beat." Homecoming royalty includes king candidates: Travis Adkins, Jus- tin Diggs, Kyle Jenkins and Colby Perryman. Queen candidates: Jeni Boland, Nakita Jones, Jessica Nadler and Lauren Whitaker. Class attendants are: Darian Ev- erett, fifth grade; Nicole Langford, sixth grade; Olivia Rogers, seventh grade; Breanna Stalvey, eighth grade; Katie Miller, ninth grade; Alyssa Cordaico. tenth grade; Brenna Land, ele'.enth grade and Bridjete Rome, twelth grade. Spirit days will be: Monday, Oct. 22-Driess like a senior citizen; Tues-_ day, Oct. 23-80s Style; 1'W-dnesda\. Kyle Quincey will serve as CFEC said. "It is also important that con- sumers, as voters, have their voices .heard." Woodbury went on to say that pro- viding reliable and affordable elec- tricity requires a balance between cost, reliability and the environment. However, some of the policy being espoused and created by Governor Crist will tip that balance and the cost to consumers will be "very high." "We believe that the Governor's plan to go cold turkey on clean coal is a flawed policy," Woodbury said. ," d~ ~ 0, :4 *1~ i) Homecoming king and queen candidates are shown back row (l-r): Colby Perryman, Justin Diggs, Kyle Jen- kins and Travis Adkins.

"It will push us towards greater use of natural gas which is subject to vol- atile price swings, is already far more expensive than coal, and is subject to weather-related curtailments none of which are good for you." Woodbury pledged the commit- ment of Seminole electric coopera- tive to continue working in the best interest of the members of CFEC. In the final item of business, Rob- ert Beauchamp, from the accounting firm of Beauchamp and Edwards CPA, announced the results of vot- ing. Randy Mikell, representing Dis- trict 8, was re-elected without oppo- sition. For District 4, Kyle Quincey won re-election over Loran Brookins by a vote of 643 to 310. In a close race, Alan Mikell was elected to serve the District 6 service area over the current trustee Gail Asbell by a vote of 415 to 404, a margin of just 11 votes. With business out of the way, it was. time for members to pull out their prize tickets and listen for their numbers to be called, as more than 200 prizes were given away, includ- ing cash awards, kitchen equipment, electronics and a flat-screen televi- sion.

Mizell 4-H members from throughout the county converged on the court- house lawn Sunday afternoon to set up scarecrows clad as gators, ghosts' and game hunters to commemorate National 4-H Week. All 17 4-H clubs in Gilchrist Coun- ty were given the opportunity to vote on a theme for their scarecrow, build it, set, it up and decorate it oer the weekend, according to Chris De- Cubellis, Gilchrist Count 4-H H agent. "We had 12 entries last year and I think we have a few more this year," DeCubellis said. "I feel like the scare- crows are good for the community and I'm very proud of the 4-H members who worked so hard on them." Plans to leave the scarecrows up through- out National 4-H Week were extended last year by a request from Gilchrist County officials working in- 75 fat steers weighed in Saturday at the Suwannee River Fairgrounds -- By Cindy Jo Ayers -Young fat steers from Gilchri Levy and Dixie counties we 1. -..' trucked to the Suwannee Ri\er F; grounds on Saturday, Oct 6 for . initial weigh-in.

Ayers Bell Town Council members agreed to take action following .Thursday night's meeting to try to slow the traf- fic of 4-wheelers on public roads in and around the Bell community. The board discussed in detail that golf carts driving at a slow speed with the necessary safety equipment is different than 4-wheelers racing in and around the community. "I have been receiving a lot of com- plaints involving 4-wheelers and golf carts using the sidewalks and public roads in the City of Bell," said Dan Cavanah, city manager. Bell attorney David M. Lang told the council that 4-wheelers are not authorized to operate on public roads in the State of Florida. Golf carts on the other hand are allowed if the cart is equipped with the necessary safety equipment. The attorney explained that golf cart operators must be at least 14 years old. The Town of Bell has an ordinance in place to allow the use of golf carts on public streets when the guidelines are met. The council determined that this is an enforcement issue and the Town of Bell would have the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office try to police the mu- nicipality and cut down on 4-wheeler use before a serious accident occurs. The council pointed out that Sher- iff's deputies and Florida Highway Patrol troopers have been coming through town more often issuing cita- tions for speeding in the construction zone north of Bell near the Gilchrist and Suwannee county line. Mrs. Iris Roberts, president of the Council, pointed out that semitrucks are also traveling too fast for safety conditions through the Town of Bell. Councilman Al Powers told the board that he would like to see the town resurface some streets in the municipality. Powers put his request in the form of a motion to take action in the November meeting. Council- man Ray Sanders agreed and gave a second to the moti,.'ni be.e the the bid ,.oted 5-0 in faor. .rage wo - Nearly 400 flu shots have been given in Gilchrist County By Carrie Mizell Amanda Seay believes the painful pinch of a needle is worth avoiding the flu. The 21-year-old Trenton native has never had a flu shot before, but plans to get the vaccine this year after suf- fering along with four other family members with the flu last winter. "We were pretty much quarantined to the house for about seven days," Seay said. "My mom is a nurse and she always told me go get a flu shot, but I just ignored her. This year it will be worth the needles." Seay is not the only Gilchrist Coun- ty resident considering a' flu shot. According to Jana Land, nursing di- rector at the Gilchrist County Health Department, 200 flu shots have been given over the last two weeks. On Sqtdafnn Sen t "29 the health deonart- ment hosted a flu shot clinic where 132 flu shots were given, Land ex- plained. "October through January are our heavy months, but we can give the shots throughout the flu season," Land said. "I personally get a flu shot because I believe in immunizations. I also encourage my family and friends to get one." The health department orders 800 doses of flu vaccine each year. The vaccines arrive in partial shipments- beginning in late September and run throughout the winter. Cost of a flu shot is $15 and the health department will bill Medicare. Throughout the fall and winter months, health depart- ment officials will be doing outreach flu clinics for county employees, lo- cal dairy workers and possibly AARP m bne.mhlrs Trenton Medical Center, Bell Fam- ily Healthcare and Trenton Pediatrics are also currently offering flu shots. Between the three health facilities 1100 adult flu shots and 300 pediatric flu shots were ordered. One hundred eighty shots have been given between the three sites since Oct. 1. Flu shots are provided at these locations for $20 per shot. Once vaccinated, the flu shot takes up to two weeks to protect against influenza. Vaccines are updated ev- ery year so an annual vaccination is recommended. Mild problems could possibly result from getting a flu shot including soreness, fever, aches and redness or swelling where the shot was given. Flu shots are recommended for all children from 6 months to 5 years old anvnne over the are of 50 wonm- en who will be pregnant during flu season and anyone with long-term health problems such as heart disease, lung disease, asthma, kidney disease, metabolic disease such as diabetes, anemia or other blood disorders. Anyone with certain muscle or nerve disorders, such as seizure disorders or severe cerebral palsy that can lead to breathing or swallowing problems should also get a flu shot, as well as residents of nursing homes and other chronic-care facilities. The vaccine is also recommended for anyone who lives with or cares for people at high risk for flu-related complications: heath care providers, household contacts and caregivers of children from birth to 5 years old and people 50 years and older. Vaccines are good for six months. RLruLay, p p mefl.UL L.J LA ,.si. y -, 1o 3SHalloween pet T4__costume contest I ?. iS 'IAIMMII --i I ~ MiddeSho ("'ILi : 'C 1 E% Ii ' Cloit cti lad e. I/ INR c.

Ayers : Meet Your Neighbor: Fall is a magical time of year as the temperatures cool and the days become shorter, we look forward to the opportunity to get out into the outdoors. October is the time of year when we start to feel an expression or hint of the temperatures beginning to drop below 70. The goldenrods are in full bloom and the Iris stems are green as mid October brings them into full bloom. Their beautiful pur- ple and light colored blooms really dress up a wet roadside ditch and in the sloughs. This past weekend I loaded the old tractor and headed to the woods to do a little mowing in preparation for the upcoming hunting season. The weather was damp and the conditions were sprinkling rain off and on dur- ing the morning. The temperatures were nice and the wildlife seemed to enjoy it too as they were out feeding and moving about. There were several places where the deer have begun to make scrapes as the bucks prepare for the upcom- American Legion Post 383 News Fall is in the air and we have lots of things planned for the month of October at the Post. They are, first of all, a spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings will take place on Thurs- day night, October 11th at 4 p.m. for a donation of five dollars. Second is the Auxiliary's third An- nual Sock Hop Dance which has been a big hit in the past. There will be rock and roll music from the 1950s and 60s by Jerry, good food, a raffle, door prizes and much more starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 21st, all for ing rut. The cool temperatures around the beginning of muzzle loading sea- son have been around the same time as the beginning of the deer's rut in North Central Florida. If you are a deer hunter, this is a special time of year when deer often do some unbe- lievable things. It appears the number of deer in this area are growing to a record level. Often times when I am driving throughout the county and in the ru- ral areas, the deer can be seen on the sides of the highway and out in the fields. A lot of people that call the Tri- County area their home enjoy this time of year because hunting season is another occasion when we have the opportunity to get out and experience the outdoors. Whether it is hunting doves, bow hunting or wading the shallows for a redfish, the fall time of year is simply beautiful and most enjoyable. If you have the time to get out in the elements, take someone with you and enjoy this special time. a donation of six dollars which goes to benefit our children and youth in the area. A basket of cheer will also be raffled off at the dance. Next is a Halloween Party for the area children from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. at the Post. We will have costume contests, bobbing for apples, candy, hot dogs and lots of fun for the kids. Later that day beginning at 7:00 p.m., a Halloween Dance is planned with our popular band, the Salt Water Cowboys, providing the music. There will be a costume contest, door priz- es, finger foods, raffle and so much more with dancing until ?? L & B Development Corp.

A few of the success stories include a client's home that needed floor re- pairs. Once completed, the floor re- pairs not only reduced air infiltration, but also made her home tighter and safer. Another client reports that her home was greatly improved by the installation of new doors and win- dows. She also really likes her new hot water heater. Another client had windows broken out, exterior doors that were not closing and bathroom floors that had fallen in thus caus- ing air infiltration in the home. All of these problems have been corrected and the client is very happy with the ' Respecting Those In Authority (Kent Heaton) A nation that crumbles in the chaos of rion-conformity is a people that have rejected all forms of authority. Nature declares the need for authority as laws are established that govern life. Disobeying these laws will cause one to suffer consequences that Jehovah put into place that are unchangeable. Man cannot fly without aid and when he goes against this law he suffers physical harm. As in the immutable laws of nature, authority is established in government by God and to resist this authority will bring serious consequences. Paul writes, "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves" (Romans 13:1-2). In our world of freedom we must remember that while we have opportunities to express our freedom we cannot do so in a fashion that goes against the government. The only time this is allowed is when the law of the land declares law contrary to the law of God (Acts 5:29). Recent events such as the student TASERed at the University of Florida and hours of COPS illustrate that many people refuse to recognize authority and resist every form of it. The lawless attitudes of those who rebel against law enforcement officers, courts and government remind us of the steep road we as a nation are traveling to sure destruction. Schools no longer maintain levels of authority as students are allowed to curse teachers, refuse to obey staff and destroy the learning environment of days gone by. Respect for authority is no longer recognized by a vast majority of our nation. The book of Judges concludes with this statement: "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25). This sounds more like our time when everyone does what they choose to do and what they feel is their "right" to do. When men fail to recognize authority and respect the authority that exists, there are no boundaries or limits. The root of the problem stems from the suppression of God in the lives of men. "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice" (Psalms 53:1). Without God men seek to do what is right in their own eyes. Authority is based upon selfish motives of the individual. What is right and wrong is measured by the desires of the moment. Through the prophet Isaiah Jehovah God reminds us of the consequences of those who seek to usurp authority. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight" (Isaiah 5:20-21). There is only one clear truth the truth of God (John 17:17). Rejecting this truth is rejecting authority. Refusing to obey authority is refusing to obey the Son of God. Jesus said, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18). Dare we reject this authority?

It's a heavy blue den- im one that one of my best friends Wilma Jean Asbell gave me several years ago. I started wearing aprons a couple of years ago when my middle aged tummy began to round out to the point of my blouse becoming wet at my once-upon-a-time waist line. Needless to say, I love to piddle in my kitchen and therefore the wearing of my favorite apron has become a daily habit. While I was washing away on a stack of dirty dishes I remembered a box in my closet which contains my, treasury of flour sack and feed sack fabric. There is a special soft blue piece with little flowers that would make a wonderful apron. I keep hold- ing on to my small stash of feed/flour sack fabric hoping to one day make a quilt from them. The feed sacks themselves have an interesting history. Between 1840 to 1890 cotton sacks gradually replaced barrels as food shipping containers. Most of the logos on the sacks were circular and these round logos were carry overs from when the logos had fit on the top of a barrel. Women real- ized, that this fabric could be used for quilts and many other things. A good friend of mine who is a few years old thanI am once told me that she was in high school before she realized that-bed sheets could be made out of anything other than feed sacks. Between 1914 and 1929 the bot- tom dropped out of the cotton mar- ket. This occurred partly because of new types 'of fabric being invented. When cotton became so cheap even more products were shipped in bags. At one time all these bags were plain unbleached cotton with product brands printed on them. Housewives used everything from kerosene io lard to try to wash out the label. It took av while for feed and flour _ack mak- ers to realize how much women were using their sacks. Around 1925 color- ful prints began to appear in stores. These sacks had paper labels which were much easier to remove. By the 1930s there was heated competition to produce e most at- tractive and therefore the most sought after prints. Women picked out flour, sugar, beans, rice, cornmeal and even feed and fertilizer for the family farm based on which fabrics they desired. Some manufacturers even made bags with applique and quilt -blocks pre- printed on them. It became common for women to trade sacks in order to get patterns that matched fabric they already had. Feed sacks were a way women pro- vided clothing and bed covering for their family during the economic hard times of the boll weevil depression in the South in the 1920s and the great depression that followed. Feed sacks were used well after WWII. Back then it was necessary to conserve because of the need for war supplies and using feed sacks was considered patriotic. My own mother speaks of it taking three cow feed sacks to make a dress back during the war. My father had strict instructions to pick out three sacks that matched. I can just see it now, a bunch of grown men sorting through the 100 pound bags of feed trying to find three that matched. This sorting occurred at Cotton Producers Association or CPA located in an old wooden barrack that was at one time a part of a CCC camp. CPA was lo- cated in the same area as the former Western Auto Store in Chiefland. You know that pretty blue feed sack fabric may just stay in my fabric stash for a little longer. To tell you the truth, I just don't have the heart to cut it up. Maybe I'll just take it out every now and again and just admire it. 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pack active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1 large egg, beaten 2 cups all-purpose flour Cook first 4 ingredients in a sauce- pan over low heat, stirring until but- ter is melted.

Bell demolishes Tallahassee Maclay 39-7 By Joel Elliott Last Friday night, the Bell Bull- dogs made the lengthy trip to Talla- hassee to face the Marauders of Ma- clay School. 1 thought that perhaps traveling north would rid us of the rain that makes football difficult and note-taking impossible. I was wrong. However, the Bell Varsity Cheerlead- ers, despite the rain, did a great job pepping up the crowd all night. Once again, the Bulldogs played under rainy and wet conditions. And once again, the conditions didn't have a pronounced effect on how the Bull- dogs were able to play. The Bulldogs would kick off to start the game, and the Maraud- ers completed a few passes before Mitchell Cannon jumped on a fumble around midfield. Given excellent field position, Lee Carlisle and Bub- ba Joiner would pick up consecutive first downs on the ground. Then, Jus- tin Fowler would scramble his way down to the 8-yard line. Finally, Lee Carlisle would burst through the line for a 1-yard TD run with 6:19 left in the quarter. After the kickoff, the Bell defense would get a great effort from Robby Heck, who would sack the quarterback on 3rd down, forcing the Marauders to punt. The Bulldogs would start the drive from their own 24-yard line. Lee Carlisle would take it to the Marauder's 35-yard line froili there. After that, Justin Fowler found a streaking Robert Hankins for a 35- yard touchdown with 1:43 left in the quarter. The kick was unsuccessful, and the score was 13-0. Once the Marauders got the ball back, they wouldn't keep it long. Paul Clark would intercept a Maclay pass, and return it to the 45-yard line. This would conclude play in the opening quarter. The Bulldogs couldn't convert af- ter the Maclay turnover, bu iaftr -r ihe punt, Maclay would give the Bull- dogs another chance. They would turn over the ball on a fumble, and the Bulldogs would get the ball at their own 37-yard line. To start the drive off, Fowler would hit Robert- Hankins on a 34-yard pass play that would advance the ball all the way to the Marauder's 39-yard line. Here, the Bulldogs would utilize their great running game. Picking up four. and five yards every play, the Bulldogs would take care of the football and not let the conditions dictate who would win the game. The drive cul- minated with a Bubba Joiner 3-yard touchdown run. With 5:27 left in the half, the score was 19-0. After the score, Maclay would make a drive, but were forced to punt after a great defensive stand. This would end the second quarter. The Bulldogs would receive, the ball to start the second.half. After starting from the 35-yard line, the Bulldogs drove quickly down the field. Bubba Joiner would punch it in with 8:48 left in the quarter. Bell would not have to wait long to get the ball back. Bubba joiner would make a great interception, and give the Bulldogs the ball at the Maclay 35-yard line. This would set up a 30- yard run by Lee Carlisle. After that, the Bell defense would force Maclay FAST FACT to punt, and Bell would get the ball at the 30-yard line to end the 3rd quar- ter. The Bulldogs coaching staff was then able to put in substitutes on of- fense. Maclay couldn't even handle the Bell freshmen and sophomores, and the great drive ended with Garth Frier rumbling 35 yards for a touch- down. The Bulldogs would extend their lead to 39-0. At this point, fresh- men Garth Frier and Bradley Teck- enbrock began showing their defen- sive prowess, holding the Marauders back. To add to the youngsters great performance, junior Chris Wilker- son jumped on a fumble and gave the Bulldogs the ball at the 25-yard line. The'drive would be cut short on a fumble that the Marauders would return for a score. Maclay would roll the dice with an onside kick, but junior Ty Smith alertly jumped on it. The Bulldogs would run out the clock and win the game 39-7. The win boosted the Bulldogs re- cord to 5-1, which is a good sign a little more than halfway through the season. Lee Carlisle had a great game, carrying the ball 21 times for 167 yards and two touchdowns. Jus- tin Fowler had 77 yards passing and added a touchdown pass to Robert Hankins. Bell's next game will be away against Branford, with.the kick- off set for 7:30 pm. Costa Rica 2008 Attention Gilchrist County school children grades 3 thru 6.

By Jamie. Tucker On Tuesday, October 2nd, Bell High School's Junior Varsity and Varsity High-Q teams knocked off the academic teams from Trenton High School. The day was dreary and wet but the Bulldog teams didn't let the rain dampen their spirits. The Trenton teams traveled to, Bell for the first competition of the season. Coaches Ron Frigon and Roberta Kreinbihl started the compe- tition by getting their teams settled.. Dr. Frigon went over the rules and introduced the moderator and judges. The competition began and the stu- dents, armed with pencils and pieces of scrap paper, battled the clock and each other to answer complex ques- tions. Questions ranged from histori- cal facts to current events and math- ematical computations to classical literature quotes. The Junior Varsity team concluded their third round match with their first win. Their team consists of Captain Kristen Burke, Garrett Hudson, Kyle Johnson, Bobby Brito, Wyatt Rajer, Larana Wingate, and Emily Zerbe. The Varsity team, with Captain Joel Elliot, consists of Jamie Tucker, Bobby Wilson, Pete Camfferman, Ray Duvall, and Thomas Peace. This team took the competition into the last round with only a 5- point lead but kicked it into high gear to take the victory. Dr. Ron Frigon coaches the Bell High School High-Q academic team. He has been the coach for the past four years. The High-Q team is open to all students and consists of :stu- dents that can commit their time to the group. The group that participates is very well prepared for the high de- mands of the preparation and compe- tition. Just to have the opportunity to learn to work together as a team, to travel to different places for competi- tion, and to learn the real-life skills of handling victory and coping with defeat are sufficient incentive and re- ward to invest time in High-Q. These first victories will serve to propel the teams into their future matches. Bell High School High-Q team would like to invite you to stop in and watch, one of their competi- tions during this school year. See the school website for an activities cal- endar.

FWC says not all black powder guns are legal for muzzle loading gun season The Florida Fishi and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants to make it clear to all muzzle loader hunters not all muzzle loaders are created equal. Some of the new models do not meet the legal defini- tion of guns authorized for use during muzzle loading gun season. The two issues which seem to be generating the most questions are whether muzzle loaders with an elec- tronic ignition are legal and whether the use of nitro-cellulose powder is legal. Neither is legal for use in Florida during muzzle loading gun season. "In particular, the CVA Electra is a new muzzle loader on the market that doesn't qualify as a state-defined muzzle loader," said Capt. John Mill- er of FWC's Division of Law En- forcement. "It is not a legal weapon for muzzle loader season because it uses an electronic ignition, fired by a' battery." The legal types of guns for use during the muzzle loading gun sea- son use black powder or a non-nitro- cellulose substitute and are fired by wheel lock, flintlock or percussion cap ignition. They are not adaptable to use of any self-contained cartridge ammunition. The CVA Electra muzzle loader is legal to use during general gun sea- son however. For more information on muzzle loader hunting, visit MyFWC.com/ hunting.

Mizell Six new Guardian ad Litem Pro- gram volunteers were sworn in by Judge David A. Glant on Monday, Oct. 1 during, a ceremony held at the Levy County Courthouse. Volunteers who were recently recruited and trained through the Guardian ad Litem program are: Da- vid Kerney, Sharon Wolfe, Veleita Lovelace, Debbie Junkin, Tammy Hewett and Paul Champion. Once sworn in, the volunteers be- gan working with some of the 42 in- nocent children in Gilchrist County who have been removed from their homes because ,of alleged abuse, abandonment or neglect. Through no fault of their own, these children are placed into the dependency court sys- tem with no voice of their own. Enter the Guardian ad Litem Program. The new volunteers will be court appoint- ed to advocate for the best interests of the child. The Guardian ad Litem volunteer becomes familiar with the child and the child's case and makes recommendations to the court to help ensure a safe, caring, stable and per- manent environment. "This graduation means that 12 to 15 children will not have to walk through this nightmare alone," said Michael Whiting, case coordinator for the Guardian ad Litem program. "It is important for the community to know that we have many more chil- dren than we have resources and vol- unteers available in our area." The Guardian ad Litem Program is always in need of community sup- port for abused and abandoned chil- dren involved in the court process in ,Gilchrist and Levy counties.

The Roberts did not pull off the feat alone, they had a lot of help from members of their large family and many *,., devoted friends. This year's event was held in memory of the late Jim Hodge of Tren- ton and the late Dina Roberts Wasson of Chiefland. Jim and Dina were first cousins and both passed away after fight- ing long courageous battles with lupus. As of Monday a total of $6,700 had been col- lected for this worthy cause and Mrs. Roberts said that more money may still arrive. Of the past three lupus fund-raisers this one was the most well supported with around 300 people attending the event. The last two fundraisers along with the publishing of a cookbook has earned a total of $14,500 which was turned in for lupus research from this area. Julie Thomas of Bell who was a classmate of Dina's was the master of ceremony on Saturday evening. Julie introduced the guest speakers for the evening: Josh Wasson who is Dina's son, Maggie McQueen of the Lupus Foundation, Robert Pearce one of Jim's many friends, and Rep. Debbie Boyd. Ms. McQueen told the crowd about the current research efforts being funded by the Greater Florida Chapter. This year's fund-raiser, as in the past, featured wonderful home cooked dishes which accompanied barbecue cooked by Gerald Roberts and Lloyd Whann of M.M. Parrish. Also many wonderful homemade desserts were enjoyed by those at- tending the event. Cracker Johnson volunteered his time as an auctioneer. The auc- tion started with a Gator basketball signed by Billy Donc an. The basketball was finally\ purchased by Arnold ind Gerri Jackson, owners of Otter Springs RV Resorn. The basketball went for $700. A beautiful throw quilt made, by Connie Hodge was purchased b\ Nancy Hodge Jim's wite. The auction was fol- lowed by a silent auction which also raised quite a bit of money. The silent auction was organized by Lisa Townsend Thomas and Lori Townsend Kara- biean, both of whom \ ere Dina's cousins. Several gift baskets along \ ith many other nice items w ere purchased. Selma McClarian made a quilt wall hanging for the event. The wall hanging raised the most money of any item in the silent auction. A very nice charcoal grill was also given away in a raffle to Augie Ver- zaro of Bell. When the event was over Mrs. Rob- ' erts said, "I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of this year's fund- raiser. This was our best one yet."
