VOLUNTEER Better Jena Boat Ramp On the Way By David Ryman r he County Commissioner's meeting on Thursday was well-attended and cov- ered proposed improvements to the Jena Boat Ramp. Applications are being made to the Florida Boating Improvement Program for grant monies to reno- vate and expand the Jena Boat Ramp at the end of CR 358, the only launching fa- cility on the Steinhatchee River near Jena. The board was given the option of ap- plying in two parts, the first to cover the planning phase and the second to cover the actual construction, or a single application to cover the complete project. After discussions the commission opted for a single application, believing that although the odds are better with the phased application, there is no guarantee the second part will be granted as no-one knows what fiscal constraints will be imposed next year. The one-hit approach puts the onus on the funding body to consider the whole project and if they decide to split the planning and construction Average Sales Price for homes in Qtrula over 2 years then.that would work Steinhatchee, FL... too. $1,000,000 Improving the relatively sparsely �aowo�� populated area of Jena benefits Dix- $6o, 0 ie County residents by increasing $400,000 the attraction of the waterfront com- oMW. munity and attracting badly needed _ tax revenue to the area. Although 210oo sBMi iuo2 3/104 7o's M iSos 3a/311 property values and demand peaked * aln r' in late 2005, the last year has not been as beneficial to residents. Home prices in the Steinhatchee area have been decreasing and demand has slowed due to economic conditions and financing re- strictions caused by the "mortgage meltdown" of the last few months. Any eco- nomic boost to the area would be welcomed. April 19th is "Dixie County Toxic Round Up" day, a project to collect, recycle, treat and properly dispose of Household Hazardous Waste, jointly sponsored by Florida DEP and the County Commission. Items wanted include:- Oil, oil filters, gasoline, antifreeze, batteries, fertilizers, pesticides. insecticides, poisons, computers, TVs, aerosol cans, household cleaners, fluorescent lamps, pool chemicals, paint thin- ners, paint and photographic solutions. There are two round up locations, Old Town Fire Station, CR349, 1/2 mile north of Hwy 19, open between 9am and 4pm and Dixie County Court House on the corner of CR351 and Barber Ave, between 10am and 3PM. Call Joe Ruth at 352-498-1289 for more information. Mr Bellot expressed his disappointment at last week's Advocate editorial concern- ing Waldo Park. He said that much effort, money and thought had gone into the ,park over the years. Many trees were removed from the 40 acres of donated land; unfortunately, bugs and hurricanes took care of several of the rest. He explained that the stainless steel playground equipment was selected for its durability over the less expensive plastic coated version. The Advocate's suggestion to allow local businesses to sponsor shaded seating areas at the park to save county money was not addressed. Other issues discussed included proposals to ban large-scale strip mining in Dixie County and the damage done to roadside ditches by off road vehicles.

I could be talking about the Big Apple's "newspaper of record," that being the New York Times, but we already know what to expect from that rag. This has to do with New York City's Police Dept. No, this is not a put-down of the NYPD. I've called them on a couple of previous occasions, but this time they're the intended victim. It seems that an illegal alien, operating an un- licensed taxi service, is suing the NYPD for report- ing him to the Immigration and Customs Enforce- ment (ICE) agency, that being the new name for what used to be the Immigration and Naturalization Ser- vice (INS). What's wrong with that? Isn't that what the cops are supposed to do when they catch an illegal, especially one operating an unlicensed business and also, in this case, one who has already had some pre- vious run-ins with the law? Not in New York City, thanks to Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. In NYC, the police are not per- mitted to report illegal aliens to federal immigration, authorities. Why? Because that might make them feel uncomfortable about contacting the police in the event they needed to report someone for jaywalking or being illegally parked. The illegal resident in question is Waheed Saleh, which does not sound at all Mexican, and cer- tainly not Irish. It seems Mr. Saleh is from the West Bank territory adjacent to Israel, where driving a cab can be even more hazardous than driving one in NYC. I don't know how he got into this country, but there's a good chance he didn't even get his Gucci's wet in the process. More importantly, he is not here legally, and yet "the system" accommodates him filing a law- suit against the city because a police officer allegedly reported his illegal status to a federal agent. If matters relating to this situation were placed in their proper perspective, the first thing that would be done would be to deport Waheed Saleh, after which none of the other considerations would make any difference. He'd be on his way back to the turbu- lent Middle East, from whence he should not have sought our borders in the first place. Mayor Bloomberg's policy typifies a serious failing of responsibility currently found in a lot of city governments. It's called the "Sanctuary City" concept. This is a corruption of an Old Testament priority according to which a person guilty (or pre- sumed guilty) of involuntary manslaughter (as op- posed to intentional homicide) could legally escape retaliation from the victim's family and/or friends by going to a "City of Refuge" (Numbers 35:6-13) and staying there at least until he had outlived anyone who would be inclined to seek revenge. Like quite a number of other big city govern- ments, Bloomberg's NYC has arrogantly presumed the authority to defy the federal government's legiti- mate role in controlling who gets to come into this country, how long and under what conditions they can stay, etc. Just for the sake of argument, let us suppose that the mayor or city council of some American city decided that the federal government's policy of col- lecting taxes on individual incomes did not apply in their jurisdiction. In other words, the IRS had no au- thority to collect taxes in their town, and if any city employee ratted out a resident (legal or otherwise), the tax-dodger could sue for damages. So, what's to be done with the problem of ille- gal aliens driving taxis in NYC and suing the city when they get caught? Simple enough. Replace the ICE with the IRS and see how long it takes to get may- ors of the Bloomberg persuasion to cooperate. If you would like to send a letter to the editor, please mail it to editor at P,0.

THE DIXIE COUNTY ADVOCATE (USPS 158-760) is published weekly Every Week without Fail, Since July 1, 1921 �2007 Dixie County Advocate ourselves the laughingstock of the na- tion. This time, we're debating whether to keep the contemptible old state song, Stephen Foster's Swanee River (Old Folks at Home), or adopt a new one that's 21st century, inclusive and inspirational." Contemptible. Harrumph. Sure, the words are writ- ten in what passed for "black dialect" at the time, and in Stephen Foster's SWAt4EE RIVER ri1 imagination. So what? What's wrong with having the State Song of Florida; a song about love of family and home, sung in a "black voice?" Plantations happened. We can't change what happened before we were born; but erasing all traces of it as if plantations and Jim Crow never happened shows a total disrespect for the people that lived through those hard times. Swanee River is a haunting song, with a soul. The Maxwells of the state want to take that rich, deep, beauti- ful song with its complex and somewhat dark racial histo- ry and replace it with a sanitized, all-inclusive Disneyworld of a song that really only represents the values of white South Florida urbanites who've never been off pavement. The Swanee song itself was altered for political correct- ness years ago: most versions have updated the "dialect" to language more suitable to public events and class rooms. So why change it any more? I remember when our music teacher Mrs. Keating was teaching us to sing it in chorus at Anderson Elementary. It's a great song for kids to sing; easy notes, especially for. an alto girl like me. I thought we sounded so good! I also remember staying up as late as I could after Star Trek or Doctor Who to catch the beautiful sign-off that PBS Gainesville used to play every night around midnight. Do you remember that? The video was actually of the Suwannee River...cypress trees and song. It was beautiful. It was a damned shame when they stopped playing it. Mr. Maxwell apparently doesn't share S-.- any fond memories of our state song. He does say that he went to Middleton High School, where his homeroom . teacher told his class that the song was "sickening blackface minstrelsy," and his music teacher gave up trying to get the class to learn the song because of the students' mockery. I can't imagine Mrs. Keating putting up with that foolishness for two sec- onds. Maxwell has to make it a personal fight in which people who support the new song are enlightened and modern and anybody else is just a stupid redneck hick. He says that "rural, white Floridians are pitiful when they wax nos- talgic." He also says that the lawmakers in Tallahassee who are fighting for the Suwannee are "a gang of fellow Bubbas," and he takes special care to note that they're all republicans. Yeah, well, Mr. Maxwell of the St. Pete Times, if loving a song I grew up with makes me pitiful, and pride in my home and history makes me a bubba, I can live with that. A ' Soaring gas prices and Sunoco in Cross City The rise in gas prices over the past two years has many people in limbo. It has been taking its toll on many of us in Dixie County and all over; especially when combined with weakness in the housing market and increasing costs for groceries. Faced with paying more at the pump, some people, like me, make use of change. In the past I have saved my change for a rainy day, so to speak. It is my opinion the "rainy days" of yester- day are gone out the window with the high prices of everything. We all are hitting the piggy banks to put gas in our vehicles. The Fed says Prices are going to get worse at the pumps, Yet many companies like Sunoco are show- ing profits. I did some research on the Internet and found this in- formation on Sunoco. Retail Marketing earned $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 versus a loss of $11 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher average retail gasoline mar- gins and lower expenses. Versus the fourth quarter of 2006, monthly gasoline and diesel throughput per com- pany-owned or leased outlet increased approximately * two percent and convenience store merchandise sales were up approximately six percent. After-tax gains from our Retail Portfolio Management program to- taled $4 million and $2 million in the 2007 and 2006 fourth ,quarter periods, respectively With this corporation making this kind of money my question is who are the employees of such gas/con- vinience stores to deny my use of change? Are they, then, getting so well off of us that they can afford to decline my change? My story, I went into town to pay bills on Saturday By the time I was done I had several singles crowding my change purse plus approximately 2.00 in change. Quarters, A note from the Production Manager: Thinking that failing to accept change may be a viola- tion of the law, I took the liberty to have a look at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's website www.richmondfed.org. On their "Frequently Asked Questions" page I found the following information that I thought everyone might find interesting. Is U.S. currency legal tender for all debts? According to the "Legal Tender Statute" (section 5103 of title 31 of the U.S. Code), "United States coins and cur- rency (including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and Dimes, Nickels and a few pennies. I parked my gas efficient Honda at the pump in Cross City at my in the past "friendly" gast station, I handed the gentleman 8 singles and pulled my change out of my purse and told him Ialso wanted this in the tank. The gentleman said" I don't need change". I would like to put it in the tank along with the 8 dollars. Again he stated "I don't need change". I said" I beg your pardon? Catching on that he didn't want to bother counting my change I decided if my change wasn't good enough neither was my business and I told him so and left the establishment. I was totally apalled that I was denied the use of my change and that I was further inconvinienced by hav- ing to drive home on empty Luckily the following morning my gas efficient Hon- da made it to "Friendly" two Sisters where they gladly accepted my change plus my 8 singles for a total of 10.00 in gas. This is good for business. No business should deny accepting change from its customers. As a result of what happened to me at the Sunoco in Cross City I have decided I will no longer bring my business there and go instead to where my money wether its change or a bunch of singles is accepted in a friendly manner. Any business that can afford to turn down customers for their measly change must be well off and don't need my business because clearly they drove me away I feel I am adjusting to high prices of food and gas and so should Sunoco. Just my opinion Sincerely Connie Arvidson Old Town dues." This means that all U.S. money, as identified above, when tendered to a creditor legally satisfies a debt to the extent of the amount (face value) tendered. However, no federal law mandates that a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as pay- ment for goods or services not yet provided. For exam- ple, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pen- nies or dollar bills. Some movie theaters, convenience stores and gas sta- tions as a matter of policy may refuse to accept curren- cy of a large denomination, such as notes above $20, and as long as notice is posted and a transaction giving rise to a debt has not already been completed, these or- ganizations have not violated the legal tender law. Page 2 -1 Bill Maxwell at the St. Peters- burg Times (it's always them, isn't it?) published an editorial on Friday urging Floridians to boot Stephen Foster to the curb along with "Way Down Upon the Swanee River." Mr. Maxwell states: "And so here we are again making ZL*CmoU~liQ~bmb*f Thursday April 10, 2008 Law Enforcement FDLE Arrests Taylor County Man in Murder for Hire Plot The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has ar- rested a Taylor County man in connection with a plot to have another man murdered. Dallas Vernon Plymel II, 34, was apprehended yesterday after FDLE agents from the Tallahassee Regional Operations Center (TROC) obtained a warrant for his arrest. Taylor Coun- ty Sheriff's deputies working with FDLE conducted a traffic stop and took Plymel into custody. Plymel, who lives in Perry, was taken to the Taylor County Jail where he is being held on $1 million bond. FDLE launched the investigation in early February when agents learned that Plymel wanted the man killed because of their mutual involvement with the same woman. A confidential informant told agents that Plymel had allegedly offered to pay $1,000 for the job. Earlier this month, Plymel allegedly gave the in- tended hit man a down payment and a photo of the vic- tim, then pointed out the victim's residence in prepara- tion for the murder. The intended victim was unaware of the plan to kill him until informed by FDLE. Plymel has been charged with solicitation to commit murder, a first-degree felony. If convicted, he could face up to 30 years in prison. BI-MONTHLY C. 0. P. MEETING AND COMMUNITY ACTIVITY REPORT The bi-monthly C. 0.

DELTONA MAN GETS 15 YEARS FOR TRAVELING TO MEET "CHILD" FOR SEX ~ "Traveler" is the first individual prosecuted by the CyberCrime Unit to be sentenced under new CyberCrime law ~ TALLAHASSEE, FL - Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that a Deltona man was sentenced to 15 years in prison after he plead- ed guilty to several criminal charges including traveling to meet a minor for unlawful sexual act, soliciting a minor via computer, and transmitting harmful material to a minor. Authorities with the CyberCrime Unit arrested Douglas R. Phillips last October after he traveled to meet who he thought was a 14-year old girl for sex. He is the first indi- vidual prosecuted by the CyberCrime Unit to be sentenced under the CyberCrimes Against Chil- dren Act of 2007. His prison sentence will be fol- lowed by 15 years of sex offender probation. An undercover investigator with the Cyber- Crime Unit was approached in an internet chat- room by Phillips, who believed he was talking to a teenage girl. Over two weeks of conversation, Phillips, 47, sexually solicited the "girl" online and sent multiple pornographic images to the agent. Eventually, Phillips told the "girl" he wanted to meet her and take her to live with him. Phillips was taken into custody by law enforcement offi- cers with the CyberCrime Unit, the Florida De- partment of Law Enforcement and the Seminole County Sheriffs Office. He was the 50th arrest made by McCollum's CyberCrime Unit and the first by the unit's Orlando Office, which opened just weeks before the arrest. A copy of Phillips' booking photograph is available online at: Myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/WF/MRAY- 78AKRS/$file/PhillipsMugShot.jpg. As part of his probation, Phillips must also register as a sex of- fender with the state. Phillips's actions were charged under the Cy- berCrimes Against Children Act, which created a new crime for traveling to meet a child or some- one believed to be a child for the purpose of sexu- ally assaulting that person. The legislation was championed by Attorney General McCollum dur- ing last year's legislative session and gives Flori- da some of the strongest laws in the nation against child pornographers and internet child predators. The CyberCrime Unit's mission is to protect children from computer-facilitated sexual ex- ploitation. The unit does this by working coopera- tively on a statewide basis with law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to provide resources and expertise, while preventing the spread of these crimes through education and community aware- ness. The unit is a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) of North Florida, as is the Florida Department of Law En- forcement and the Seminole County Sheriffs Of- fice.

Success breeds enthusiasm and enthusiasm leads to having FUN! The general plant types I will talk about are; an- nuals; perennials; deciduous; and evergreens. ANNUALS: This group only lasts for one growing season then dies off. They need to be reseeded each year or new seedlings started each season. These are plants that can produce lots of flowers, tend to be more sensitive to weather conditions, require a little more TLC (including water) than the other types.These are the plants that add color to the paint- ing of your garden. PERENNIALS: This category includes some area favorites such as heather, lantana, plumbago, butter- fly bush, butterfly milkweed, and blue daze. They have root systems that should survive the winter frosts in (our zones) 8 &9. Some of them may look D dead in February and March, but all you need to do is check.the very base of the trunk for the new growth popping out of the ground. Trim off the brown sticks left over from the freezing days of the winter and wah lah, they will be good to go! DECIDUOUS: These are the trees and shrubs that shed their leaves in the fall and winter; you know, the ones that FALL to the ground and call out "rake me up!" Generally speaking, once a deciduous tree gets its roots established, it is easy to maintain and care for.Give then some spring food and watch 'em grow! EVERGREENS: This type does just what the name implies - they stay green all year long. A few of them may change their color tone in the winter, like the cedars. One word of caution when selecting an evergreen; be sure to check out its mature height BE- FORE you plant it! Some species look small and inno- cent when they are young, but grow up to be mon- sters of 50 - 60 feet or higher! YIKES! April showers are upon us and flowers are bloom- ing, blossoms are in full fragrance and it is a good time to keep your eyes open for new plants. Do your research about the required sunlight, mature size, and special soil needs. Check out the web or ask a qualified plant specialist at a local nursery for advice to insure success; then wake up early each day, take a walk in YOUR garden and ENJOY! kAs Dixie County Supervisor of Elections, 1 welcome and encourage you to browse through our new web site at http://www.dirxievotes.com and explore the Kid's Korner and other links on our site that is of interest to you. and as always I welcome any feed back..

CHIEF FIiANrI wwzw. dcadvocate. net Page 7 II' \h cooou~rce Chiefland, FL - The Muscular Dystrophy Association is proud to announce that Hudson Food Stores has . raised an outstanding $2,113.00 during the Shamrocks Against Dystrophy Campaign. In four counties in- cluding Trenton, Cedar Key, Cross City and Chiefland, Hudson Food Stores sold $1 Green Sham- rocks and $5 Gold Shamrocks. The response was record breaking for Hudson Food Stores participation with the MDA Shamrock Program. Through inner store competitions and aggressive goal setting the em- ployees and staff of Hudson Food Stores were able to give back to the community in a way they never have before. The employees responded to the challenge with enthusiasm when Hudson Food Store owner Stoney Smith set individual store goals at $800 per store. With competitive spirits high, the hopes of be- ing number one remained constant in the general manager's minds. With consistent motivation store number 2948 in Chiefland, FL surpassed it's goal and took the number one spot reaching $814. General manager Sandy Decamp is proud of her victory with the Shamrock Program and was happy to support such a worthy cause. Watch for Hudson Food Stores on the local broadcast of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon on August 31st and September 1st. A big thanks to the men and women in the communi- ty for their participation and together they have sent two local kids to MDA Summer Camp in St. Simons Island, GA at Epworth by the Sea for one week in June. Also with combined efforts from the communi- ty and Hudson they have covered two support group sessions, one physical, occupational, or respiratory therapy consultation and six annual flu shots for our members in the area. This year, the Shamrocks Against Dystrophy Cam- paign has raised more than $16 million dollars na- tionally through the efforts of volunteers, participat- ing businesses and donor. By purchasing a shamrock you to are also helping in the fight against neuromus- cular diseases. MDA is a voluntary health agency working to defeat more than 40 neuromuscular diseases through pro- grams of worldwide research, comprehensive ser- vices, and far-reaching professional and public health education. The Association's programs are funded al- most entirely by individual private contributions.

The ice cream social at St. Alban's Church off of Highway 19, Chiefland, Florida Big Church on the right Sunday, April 13, 2008 Noon to 2 pm Public Welcome Calvary Temple News I was recently confronted with a question that caused me to look deep inside myself. The question followed a conversation/pastorly correction concern- ing a certain "prophet" that many Pentecostal believ- ers seem to place great confidence in today. So much so in some cases that the supposed prophecies deter- mine the course of life in making certain decisions. Careful and honest evaluation of these prophecies re- veal that less than 50 percent actually are accurate. This would indicate, that this individual "is not" a genuine prophet of God. To be perfectly honest, over the past few years my faith in many "big time" min- istries has been severely shaken. The many scandals that have come to light; the gross and incorrect focus on material prosperity, etc. The question? Pastor Jim, "Who do you follow? * Which of these ministers do you have enough con- [ fidence to follow?" I I have given this serious thought and in no way mean to discredit "any" of those who appear across our T.V screens. Some are truly sincere and genuine servants of God; others are merely seeking fame and for- tune. My answer? On this issue I must vote for "your local pastor!" It is your pastor "who watch- es for your soul" (He- brews 13:17). I think the word "support' would be a better word to use than 'follow." It will be your local pas- tor who God holds re- sponsible for how you are led and what you are taught. Since the pastor "lives among the flock" you pretty much know what goes on in their life, whether it be good or bad. Those who come across your T.V screen "you do not know." We live in a day when we cannot be too careful for there are many wolves who appear in sheep's clothing. Peter said, "They feast among you as one of you, yet they are not and never were." Be careful!

In the morning service, Buddy and Dot Britton sang "I Am Blessed" and did their usual great job. We were so glad to have them back after Buddy's recent surgery God is so good. In the evening service, Tom- my McQueen did the special music and-did a wonder- ful job as well. We are forever grateful for the talent in our church. Bro. KacieAfilled in as song leader this morning for Bro. Jim Fisher who is away on vaca- tion. We missed Bro. Bobby Bryan as he is filling in at Hatchbend for the next 5 weeks. It will be so good to have him back. Next Wednesday night will be our regular monthly business meeting. Come out and do your duty as a member of Faith, taking care of God's business in His church. Also, remember the AWANA program and bring your little ones out to learn about Jesus. They love it. Remember this week to pray for the sick, the less fortunate and especially the lost around us. Invite someone to Sunday School and Church with you and don't forget to come on Wednesday night for your mid-week fill-up. Until we meet again, may God keep you safe, happy.. and healthy and continue to bless you. -I- New Prospect Baptist Church US 19 * Between Cross City & Old Town Jesus is The Answer For Your Life Sunday School 10A * Morning Worship 11A Children's Church 11A- Evening Worship 7P Wednesday Evening 7P Pastor- Billy Robson (352) 498-3711 Calvary Temple Assembly of God Suwannee Lumber Road - Cross City "Join Us For AVIst Stay ForAULetlme."

Destin, FL (PRWEB) April 8,2008 -- Following more than two years in a real estate slump, a large majority of consumers surveyed say they want to buy real es- tate within the next two years, according to a new Housing Predictor poll. Three out of four respondents to the online survey said they will be in the market to buy property in the coming two years. Some even want to make their pur- chases sooner. Congress is working on a plan to aid some victims of foreclosure, which are already at record levels. But the proposals lack the ingredients to help more than a third of those that are facing the possibility of foreclosure. Housing Predictor fore- casts foreclosures will top 5.6 million units through 2011. The real estate crisis has developed into the worst fi- nancial crisis for the nation since the Great Depres- sion, which Housing Predictor analysts forecast last year. It has sent shock waves through the Wall Street community and other financial markets, sending the nation's economy on a downward cycle. Many consumers are willing to take the leap back into the market in even shorter time frames. Find the break down on the survey's entire results on Housing Predictor. Visitors are regularly surveyed on a vari- ety of real estate issues. Housing Predictor forecasts more than 250 local housing market futures in all 50 U.S. states. Demand on the part of prospective real estate buyers has increased as a result of slumping home sales, lower prices and the Federal Reserve's series of inter- est rate cuts. The over-whelming majority of housing markets in the nation are forecast to deflate in 2008. Housing Predictor online surveys are some of the most heavily monitored studies in the real estate in- dustry, and the results are published in hundreds of newspapers and by many online news organizations. All time record numbers of foreclosures are at least leading in part to the nation's thirst for investing in real estate. More than two million homes have al- ready been foreclosed as a result of the real estate cri- sis, and higher adjustable rate mortgages many home owners have been unable to afford. Foreclosures are increasing and are forecast to worsen over the next three years unless widespread Federal intervention occurs. Critics blame the White House and Congressional lawmakers at least partially for the nation's economic woes in their slow response to the crisis. A series of new creative financing products offered by lenders and easy to obtain subprime mortgages for many home buyers, who would not have other wise quali- fied for mortgages are also at fault.

The National Illegal Immigra- tion Boycott Coalition (NIIBC) is known nationally for prior sustained boycotts against Miller Brewing and Bank of America for their support for illegal aliens in the US. The NIIBC has launched a new website at www.boycottabso- lut.com to inform American consumers and provide re- sources for citizens to engage in the boycott. "Absolut vodka is trying to sell liquor to Mexicans that aspire to control the Southwest United States," says William Gheen of ALIPAC. "The warning signs are everywhere. Illegal immi- gration is creating a rising threat to our existing border lines and the very existence of the United States. The sepa- ratist sentiments and animus towards America are prevalent in the Mexican population and the ranks of illegal aliens in- side the US creating a clear and present danger to our nation. Everywhere we look, Global corporations have a hand in this brewing disaster and Abso- lut just made the list." The 100 organizations support- ing the boycott will be inform- ing their collective hundreds of thousands of supporters using websites, e-mails, and talk ra- dio shows. The offensive Abso- lut ad was created by the Mexi- can advertising agency Ter- an/TBWA.

By watching and recording the bees who arrive at the sunflowers students help the Project to understand the chal- lenges that bees are facing. You can sign i up for your free seeds at www.great- sunflower.org. A.." Your home, school or commu- nity garden and those around the world produce roughly 15-20% of all the food we eat. And for the urban poor, who spend 50-70% of their income on food, these gar- dens are a real source of good nutrition and an essen- tial route to food security Whether your garden contains "' . . ' vegetables, fruit trees, flowers,, or ' even medicinal plants, many of these plants must be pollinated before a fruit forms. And as the headlines for the last year have made clear, bees are under threat. We know very little about bee activity in home and community gardens and their surrounding environ- ments, but we are certain that they are a crucial link in the survival of native habitats and local produce, not to mention our beautiful urban gardens. Our local pollinator populations require our understanding & protection, and to answer that call we need to deter- mine where and when they are at work. When your sunflower seeds arrive, find a sunny spot to plant them. Sunflowers like full sun. When you plant them, plant each seed about 1 inch deep and at lest six inches apart. These seeds have an 80% chance of germinating so, you might plant two seeds for every one plant that you want. You can al- ways thin them after they come up. Be sure to water them after planting. It usually takes a week or so for the seedlings to appear. This seems to depend alot on how warm it is. You can start your sunflower indoors. We like to use pots made out of peat because you can transfer them straight.into the soil when it's warmed up. If you are going to grow your sun- flower in a pot, it's best to have a pot at least 15" deep. The deeper and larger the better because these plants like to send their ..................... roots out, out, out.... You'll want to keep the soil moist and fertilize them ) every other week. The'Pro- ject usually waters them heavily once a week when they are getting started (about a month) and then wa- ter a little bit every day. Between 10 and 12 on Saturday or SW Sunday (or the day you pick), check the temperature and write it down. Then, grab a cup of your favorite warm beverage (bees pollinate coffee!!), a chair, a data sheet and pencil and a stop watch or clock. Set up your chair so that you can see your sunflower plant but are far enough away that you won't scare the bees. Focus on one sunflower plant. Count the number of open flowers on the plant. Only count younger flowers that still have pollen or nectar (you can touch the center of the flower to see if there is pollen). Once you are settled, start timing and write down how long it takes for the first five bees to arrive at your sunflower. After 30 minutes, you can stop. If you haven't seen 5 bees by then, The Sunflower Project wants to know! You probably have some of their most important data. School packages and curriculum information on bee identification is available, too, at no charge at great- sunflower.org.

RE Welcome, fellow com- puter users, to the first installment of the Dixie County Advocate's new column, "Redneck Tech". In this column you will find a great number of potentially useful informa- tion about your home or office computer. I shall strive to keep the information as simple and understandable as possible. "Welcome to the internet" I shall assume, dear reader, that you have already purchased & installed a computer, and also that you have man- aged to get said contraption connected to the internet. The internet is a great place, full of useful information, places to shop, nifty programs, and things of that sort. One thing many people fail to realize is that the internet is now largely a commercial place. Very few websites of- fer anything for free. Those which do will usually subject you to some form of advertisement. This is all very understandable when one notes that very few people like to work for free. So, you can find out a great many things, and download a huge quantity of programs for a minimal cost if you are willing to be exposed to internet advertisements. Now, before you go clicking on that "DOWNLOAD NOW" link, one thing you should be made aware of is that not all programs are helpful. Why, you ask? Why would a person author a program that could damage your computer, an- noy you to the point of tearing your hair from your scalp, or at the very least tie up valuable system resources and make your computer slower than edneck Tech by Eli Loy molasses? As I said before, the internet is largely about money A lot of "malicious software" is written and at- tached to various other files or programs simply to find out what it is that you do on the internet. This information can be used by marketing agencies to discover what types of advertising work on which types of peo- ple. These programs are usually called "spyware". It is not always so. Many programs are authored for the sole purpose of causing chaos. If someone has a vendet- ta against a corporation, they may write a few lines of treacherous pro- gram code and send their newly created "virus" off into the world of the inter- net to infect said corporations customer base and/or computer sys- tems, causing damage to valuable data, and forcing the company to spend further monies repairing their computers. So here you are, newly connected to the internet and potentially, nay, assuredly, awash in the crossfires from thousands of malicious/unscrupulous individuals, and market research teams. The first thing to know is that without firewall, antivirus, and antispy- ware programs install on your computer, you are going to get a virus, The second thing to know is that even with these installed, you will like- ly get one anyway. There is a light, my fellow sufferers: if you DO have these programs installed you can FIX these terrible problems with the judi- cious use of your protection programs. A good start is to check your computer for an antivirus program. If you have no antivirus I highly recommend Grisoft AVG Free Eddition. For a free antivirus program it prtoects and ** OFFICIAL* * NOTICE OF GENERAL ELECTION I, Kurt S.

"I contacted Angie Freeman at Dixie Re- alty and then talked my wife into com- ing here on our vacation." Says Mr. Bowens, "I just fell in love with this place right away." Mr. Bowens says that they spent their first night in Dixie at the Suwannee Gables Motel and at around 2 a.m. he was awakened by the absolute noiseless- ness. In the morning a young lady held a door for them. On their way to Horse- shoe Beach, and also on the way back, everyone who they met waved at them. They made arrangements to'purchase a house that day. Mr. Bowens had a twin brother named Clyde who passed away some years ago. After they had moved into their house, he mused to himself as he looked at the house next door. "I wish Clyde lived there." The next morning the neighbor who lived in that house came over to intro- duce himself. His name was Clyde. It was also discovered that their other neighbor shared a name with Mrs. Bowens' late brother. "It was then that we decided that God had guided us here," said Mr. Bowens. Here in Dixie County with an actual yard, not just a small lot like he had be- come accustomed to in the city, Mr. Bowens says that he began to neglect his church attendance in favor of working in his yard. Mrs. Bowens did not approve and prevailed upon him to once again at- tend regularly.. Mr. Bowens began to regularly attend the Holy Cross Catholic Church with his wife. As soon as he walked through the � door Francis Roberson and Jan Kramer gave him a big hug and welcomed him. There were 18 people attending that day and, according to Mr. Bowens, more noise came from frogs than from people. As he rose and began to leave Father What a success!

On Easter day in 2005 Mr. Bowens was baptized and became a Catholic convert. "I felt the Holy Spirit so much that day that it seemed I would float through the ceiling." Pope Benedict XVI will be in New York, at the Yankee Stadium on April 20. There are 165,000 people registered as practicing Catholics in the St. Augustine Diocese. Twenty tickets were given out to see the Pope. Mr. and Mrs. Bowens are two of those people. "We are very excited to be able to at- tend," say the Bowens, "We would like to thank the Knights of Columbus council 9957 for their gracious donation of the airfare so that we could make the trip." Father Joe McDonnell was the one who telephoned to tell the Bowens' that they had been selected to see the Pope. "When Father McDonnell said, 'you have been picked to go to New York and see the Pope', I just said 'Oh, yeah...' I thought it was a joke," recalls Mr. Bowens. However, Father McDonnell as- sured him that it was no "Father Joe Joke". The Bowens, at the time of this writing, have not received any information about their trip; and, as they have never at- tended such an event before, are not sure what to expect. "The Pope is one of God's chosen lead- ers. He is here to help bring us peace, harmony, and unity To get to meet him really touches my heart. I am blessed to be able to go and be among those people who will get to hear him speak and to .worship with him. It is a great honor." The Bowens are obviously looking for- ward to the trip. We hope to hear from them on their re- turn. -E. Loy OLD TOWN FIRE STATION, CR 349 1/2.MILE NORTH OF HWY. 19.
