GCSO busts mobile meth labBy Carrie A. Mizell

A Sunday afternoon traffic stop ended with two arrests and two children being taken into protective custody by officials from the Department of Children and Families.

Harold E. Wilson, 34, of Old Town, and Stacey L. Kersey, 29, of Fanning Springs were pulled over for a traffic

violation on February 16, just before 1:30 p.m. on Florida Street near 81st Trail in Fanning Springs.

After searching the vehicle, Deputy M. Rexroat and Deputy S. Douglas, both of the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office, arrested the driver and passenger after discovering a mobile methamphetamine lab inside the vehicle.

Kersey’s two children, ages 6 and 7, were in the vehicle at the time, so officers called in the Department of Children and Families.

Wilson was charged with two counts of Child Neglect With Great Bodily Harm, Possession of Methamphetamine, Manufacture Methamphetamine, and Unlawful Possession of a Listed Chemical.

Kersey was also charged with two counts of Child Neglect With Great Bodily Harm, Manufacture Methamphetamine, and Unlawful Possession of Listed Chemical.

Both individuals appeared before County Judge Sheree Lancaster on Monday, Feb. 17. Bond was set at $450,000 for Wilson and $225,000 for Kersey. Harold E. Wilson Stacey L. Kersey

By Carrie A. MizellHow do you explain a heart

transplant to a 4-year-old? Bell Elementary School PreK

teachers Shanann Cannon and Donna Sullivan simply say, “Wyatt was sick when he was a baby, so he got a new heart.”

At 4, Wyatt Thomas’ classmates accept this explanation without question, after all, he looks and acts just fine. His red t-shirt, worn specifically for Valentine’s Day, covers the scars on Wyatt’s chest, evidence of the heart transplant he underwent at just 9-months-old.

“When people see us they see a little boy, but when we look at Wyatt we see a miracle,” said Ann Thomas, Wyatt’s mother.

With a buzzed haircut and big blue eyes that are full of little boy mischief, Wyatt is a ball of energy. He loves tractors and running dogs with his daddy, Johnny Thomas, and would rather play outside on the playground with his PreK classmates than be cooped up inside any day of the week.

On Friday, Wyatt’s class celebrated Valentine’s Day, as well as National Donor Day. Not only did Wyatt and his classmates eat heart shaped candy and cheese puffs, but they also wore a red heart, cut from construction paper and pinned to their chest. The hearts read, “Thank you donor.” Wyatt’s construction paper heart was the largest and it stated, “I love you Miss Holli” and “Thank you”.

Wyatt’s new heart belonged to a South Carolina baby who died at 7 months old after a tragic accident. Miss Holli is the baby’s mother. Four years after her son’s death, Holli still stays in contact with Wyatt’s mother, Ann.

“I used to take organ donation for granted, but without that baby’s heart my son wouldn’t be here,” Ann said. “Every time Wyatt hits

another milestone I think of Holli and what she’s missing out on with her son.”

Since Wyatt has been old enough to talk, his parents have told him repeatedly that he has an angel and they point to his heart. When he gets older Johnny and Ann plan to show Wyatt a picture of the baby boy who died and tell him that the baby’s heart saved his life.

February is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Month. The website organdonor.gov is set up to promote organ donation to save lives. According to the website, 121,234 Americans are waiting for an organ, 18 people die each day waiting for an organ, and one organ donor can save up to eight lives.

Please consider donating the gift of life to families like Gilchrist County’s own Thomas family.

Wyatt Thomas is shown with his PreK class at Bell Elementary School.

Johnny and Ann Thomas are crazy about their son, Wyatt.

By Christine SmithOn December 23, 2013, lives were

changed forever…a young man, his family, his teammates, his classmates, his teachers, his coaches, and all who knew him.

Lane Langford, a junior at Trenton High School and a member of the football team, was involved in an automobile accident. As a result of the injuries he sustained, Lane is paralyzed below his waist.

I remember visiting Lane a few days after the accident. As we approached his hospital room, we were not sure what to expect. Although only a few days before his life had been irreparably changed, the heart of a champion was still evident in Lane’s countenance and determination. Using his upper body strength, he hoisted himself up and looked us square in the eye. He began to thank us for coming and to reassure us that he would not be staying in that bed.

And, true to his word, Lane returned back to school in late January. His first school appearance was at the football banquet.

With head held high, he rolled himself into the auditorium and victoriously came back as part of the team to celebrate their accomplishments together.

That is Lane. No quitting allowed.We have organized a Spirit Night

to help support Lane and his family

“Team Up for Lane” fundraiser will benefit Trenton High School athlete

as they deal with the expenses of past care and of future care.

Things we take for granted must now be considered… width of doorways in his home, adaptations to vehicles, accommodations that must

be made so that Lane can continue on his path to becoming an independent young man.

Although we wear different colored uniforms and cheer on different teams, I believe we can all come

together as one team to support this amazing young man.

“Team Up for Lane” will be held at Beef O’Bradys on Monday, Feb. 24 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

If teams or student groups from other schools would like to wear their school jerseys to identify themselves as joining Lane’s team from their respective high school, that would be awesome!!

The Suwannee River Water Man-agement District (District) Governing Board on Feb. 11 approved several agreements totaling approximately $765,000 to implement cooperative springs protection and restoration projects in key locations through-out the District. These agreements are putting state appropriations for springs protection and restoration to work.

The District will partner with Jef-ferson County, Suwannee County, and Gilchrist County to conduct res-toration activities at Wacissa Springs, Charles Springs, Hart Springs and Otter Springs. The projects will im-prove water quality by removing sediment within the springs and sta-bilizing the springs banks to control further erosion.

Plans also include the District part-nering with an agriculture producer in Gilchrist County, the Florida Depart-ment of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and DEP to reduce nitrate in groundwater within the Ginnie and Gilchrist Blue springsheds of the Lower Santa Fe River Basin. The project involves implementing new technologies that have been shown to remove more than 95 percent of nitrate, with an estimated annual ni-trate removal of 7,500 pounds – or four pickup truck loads. The District will also be partnering with a plant

Restoration activities approved for Hart and Otter Springs

nursery in Alachua County to ex-pand a current denitrification system to reduce nitrate loading within the Upper Santa Fe River Basin and to contribute to improved water quality within the springs of the Lower Santa Fe River Basin. The first phase of the project reduced nitrogen loading by 64 percent annually or 6,105 pounds, which is nearly three and one-half pickup truck loads.

“Many of these projects will take place in strategic locations to support the recovery of groundwater levels within the Lower Santa Fe River Ba-sin, while assisting with the imple-mentation of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Basin Management Action Plan to improve water quality within the Santa Fe River Basin,” said District Executive Director Ann Shortelle. “These projects are only made pos-sible by state appropriations to the District and by cooperative funding through our project partners.”

The District will also be partnering with an aquaculture operation in Ala-chua County to implement a water reuse project. The project will offset about 900,000 gallons of groundwa-ter weekly – or 47 million gallons annually – within the Ginnie and Gil-christ Blue springsheds in the Lower Santa Fe River Basin. The District is also partnering with Gainesville Regional Utilities to construct a re-charge wetland in Alachua County. The first phase of the project will pro-vide between roughly 500,000 and 1 million gallons per day in recharge to the aquifer to support spring flows in the Poe Springs Watershed and ben-efit water supplies within the Lower Santa Fe River Basin.

“Today’s Board action will ad-vance projects to reduce nutrient loadings and restore flows necessary to revitalize the Santa Fe Basin,” said Tom Frick, Director of DEP’s Divi-sion of Environmental Assessment and Restoration. “The projects are critical to achieving the nutrient re-duction targets the DEP set in 2012, and are an integral part of the over-all restoration plan for the Santa Fe River and its many springs.”

“Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well.”

- Mark Twain

Boy, have I had a humdinger of a weekend. Bright and early Saturday morning I tackled one of the most dreaded jobs around the house. I don’t know about you, but I sure can put off cleaning out our freezer for a good long time. Not that I’m a pro-crastinator or anything like that, I just tend to put things off a bit.

Yep, there sure was a lot of caked up ice to scrape through and lots of surprises in the old freezer. Luckily we have a small freezer out in the garage that I could move the inside freezer food to while I cleaned it out. The only problem was that the small freezer in the garage had to be cleaned out some before a single package of inside food could be moved.

Years ago John laid claim to the outside freezer and frankly I don’t even lift the lid. In fact, to tell you the truth, I’m a little afraid to see what all resides in that freezer. But, truly it wasn’t too bad after removing two big plastic buckets of ice he had frozen for some upcoming fishing trip. I got down to a couple boxes of fish bait which is pretty smelly when thawed. Then I found several pack-ages of very old fish, in fact no one knows just how old it is because my guy doesn’t date freezer bags. After the very old fish came out, I uncov-ered a mesh bag full of crawfish.

At that point I decided it was time to quit exploring John’s freezer be-cause there was enough room to store the frozen food from the inside freez-er and thus far I had not uncovered anything covered in fur. Time to stop while I was still ahead.

But, as you might guess several garbage bags of not so good stuff was hauled away from the inside freezer also.

After the work was done we now have several bags of last spring’s acre peas, a couple bags of butter beans, several packages of grouper and a couple packs of venison neatly tucked back into a very clean freezer. Funny how bad I dreaded this job and how it makes me smile to open the door to find the ol’ freezer looking almost brand new.

As you might guess, there is a rea-son for the big clean out. There is half of a locally-raised cow heading our way this weekend.

Let me tell you, I am some kind of excited about the prospect of cooking this beef. Last night, I went to sleep with images of grilled steaks, tender roast, and beef liver, dancing through my head.

It really does not take much to make a country woman happy. A cleaned out freezer soon to be full of beef, that was raised with a great deal of care by a dear friends, and her family, does it for me.

Life is so sweet. It doesn’t seem like many people

are interested in my recipe for fried beef liver smothered in onion gravy served over a mound of stone ground grits these days, so I’ll pass on that recipe and move on to a very simple recipe that most people would like.

Who pray tell, does not like a good steak?

Black Pepper Steak2 rib-eye steaks about 1 ¼” to 1 ½” thickSaltGarlic powder3 tablespoons butter2 tablespoons olive oil1/2 cup chopped green onionsFresh ground black pepper

Sprinkle both sides of steak with garlic powder and salt, set aside. Let the steaks come to room tempera-ture.

Melt the butter in a cast iron frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add green onions and cook, stir-ring until the onions are tender. Re-move the onions and set aside. Add cracked pepper to one side of steaks, pressing pepper into steak with palm of your hand and place it in hot pan pepper side down. Sprinkle top side of steak with pepper. Cook the steaks for about 5 minutes per side or till desired oneness. Remove steaks and sprinkle green onions over them and serve.

Dear Editor,The art of lying is not unique to

politicians of any political party. Many people believe “most” politicians lie most of the time. That’s probably not correct, however, what may be closer to the truth is “some” politicians lie most of the time. These are the easy ones to spot as they choke on the truth if they ever attempt to speak it. Many of our politicians in Washington have recently taken lying to a new level regarding several national issues. The Affordable Care Act, Bengazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS targeting of US citizens, and the latest NSA spying scandal are all examples of our government out of control. If you hadn’t heard, good honorable Americans died over several of these occurrences and their families and we Americans are still awaiting answers. Shameful. It all reminds me of another politician, William Jefferson “Big Dawg” Clinton, lying under oath for which he lost his license to practice law. Additionally, he faced an impeachment trial for perjury and obstruction of justice. Politicians and lying, some things never change because we Americans do not hold our elected officials accountable for the things they say and do (or don’t do) as long as they just keep giving us “folks” more “free” stuff. Yes, Virginia, it is true, there really are millions of Americans who actually believe it is all “free”. Thank you and a tip of the hat to our career, self-serving, anything for a vote, politicians. Yikes!!

I want to thank Alan Lott for stop-ping by the Gilchrist County Journal last week and sharing with us sev-eral heads of his tasty and beautiful Snowball Y organic cauliflower.

Alan explained that he planted this variety in September 2013 when he planted his fall garden, right along side his broccoli. Alan said his grand-daughter has really enjoyed the broc-coli and his heads of cauliflower have just begun to head up as well.

“The cauliflower take a really long time to mature, but it is well worth it when you get to eat it,” Alan ex-plained.

Cindy Jo has been growing brocco-li and carrots with the grandchildren now for some time. Gus and Allie Claire love eating the fresh vegeta-bles and learning about the garden.

It is nearing springtime and soon the bees will be buzzing and the warm weather will have everything around here in a growing spree. I look for-ward to springtime, as the water will soon be warm and fishing will be at its best.

Letters to the Editor

Thank youDear Editor,

New members inducted into Trenton Rotary Club

SubmittedThe Trenton Rotary Club, at its

regular Monday lunch meeting, hosted Jill Heinerth, one of the best known and most experienced female cave divers in the world today.

Jill has been in places within the earth that have seen less people than have walked on the moon.

She has dived within watery caves in Antarctic icebergs cataloging strange new life forms never before known.

Jill gave the program to the Rotar-ians on conquering fear which has been the driving force in her life of exploration.

Although Jill was born in Canada she has been a longtime resident of Gilchrist County.

FSA county committee election results finalized

Results of this year’s election for the vacant seats on the Gilchrist/Dixie/Levy County Farm Service Agency committee were announced Tuesday by Brandy S. VanAernam, county executive director of the Gilchrist/Dixie/Levy FSA.

The election results for Admin-istrative Area 2 Gilchrist County are: Randall “Randy” Roberts Jr — Elected to the county committee (COC), Craig C Watson - 1st alter-nate to COC.

The election results for Local Administrative Area 3 Gilchrist County are: Rantz Smith — Elect-ed to the county committee (COC), B J Wilkerson — 1st alternate to COC, Douglas Simpson Jr – 2nd alternate to COC.

The election results for Local Administrative Area 6 Levy Coun-ty are: Jacob Sache — Elected to the county committee (COC), Rosanne Cantwell — 1st alternate to COC, Mark Graham – 2nd alter-

nate to COC.The election results for Local Ad-

ministrative Area 7 Levy County are: Andy Robinson — Elected to the county committee (COC),

Elected county committee mem-bers serve a three-year term and are responsible for making decisions on FSA disaster, conservation, commod-ity, and price support programs, as well as other important federal farm program issues. County committee members are a valuable asset because they are comprised of local produc-ers who participate in FSA programs themselves and have a direct connec-tion to farmers and ranchers in the community.

Candidates are nominated by local farmers and ranchers and must be eli-gible to vote in the county election.

Duties of county committee mem-bers include:

• informing farmers of the purpose and provisions of FSA programs

• keeping the state FSA committee

informed of local administrative area conditions

• recommending needed changes in farm programs

• participating in county meet-ings as necessary

• performing other duties as as-signed by the state FSA commit-tee.

Returning members are Rachelle Philman of Bell, Herman (Trey) Sanchez III of Cross City, and Gary Jones of Old Town, FL.

The committee members will hold their organizational meeting February 28, 2014 at 8:30 am. at the local FSA Office at 723 E Wade St, Trenton, FL 32693. Meetings are open to the public. The county committee chairman and vice-chairman will be selected at this meeting. FSA appreciates all of the voters for taking the time to com-plete the election ballot. The coun-ty committee system works only because of your participation.

Almost every commercial I have watched this past week has been for jewelry or candy or something to do with Valentine’s Day. So, every guy who has had a remote in his hand for more than five minutes this week had no excuse not to remember his Valentine! I so hope you remembered to cherish your girl.

As I write this column just a few days before Valentine’s Day, my husband and I are getting ready to go out of town for a marriage retreat for Valentine’s weekend. One thing that we have learned during our 25+ years of marriage is that we still have a lot to learn! It seems about the time we think we have some things figured out, life throws a curve and the season of life we are in changes. And we find ourselves asking, “What do we do about this?”

About a month ago, we packed up our third born and moved her away to college. First girl out of the nest. Needless to say, it was tough. I don’t know any other way to describe it but homesick. I was sick for her to be home. But at the same time, I want her to step out, experience life and get an education. All my emotions were colliding at once and when I finally looked up, I decided that I was mad at my husband. Anybody? I know there is no rhyme or reason to explain this, but truth be told, I believe he was also a little aggravated at me for letting her grow up. Needless to say, we had several “discussions” over all of this and finally got things back where they needed to be. And we grew stronger because of the experience.

It is a mystery to me why our first reaction to the curves of life is to push each other away, when what we need most is to come together. In Genesis 2:18, “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’” I can’t help but think if God had left man alone, he would never have found anything. Can’t you just hear Adam: “Eve, have you seen my fig leaf?” A funny thought, but I think we miss God’s intention if we read into this verse the idea that a helper is someone of inferior status or skill just helping out or being an assistant.

According to Bible scholar Joseph Coleson, in our English language, a helper refers to someone who assists the master tradesman, such as a “mason’s helper or a carpenter’s helper.” However, in the Hebrew Scriptures, it means just the opposite. The Hebrew word “ezer” translates as helper and it usually refers to God the Helper and Rescuer of those who cannot help themselves. In the context of this verse, helper means that God intended to make someone who would rescue Adam from solitude. It was not good for Adam to be alone,

but that was not a problem he could fix on his own. He needed a rescuer, so God designed one in His image. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible supports this interpretation.

So here we are learning something new! Your wife is much more than just your helper; she is the one who rescued you from solitude. Honor and cherish her as your life long partner and watch God bless your marriage! Because Every Heart Matters!

Trenton FFA competes at State Fair

By John M AyersThe Trenton Tiger varsity baseball

team is now, 3-0, as they defeated Cedar Key, Branford and Newberry in the first few days of the 2014 sea-son. The defending Class 1A State Champs are under the direction of Head Coach Mac Rendek and As-sistant coaches Shannon Smith, Greg Turner, and Terry Parrish.

The Tigers opened their regular season on the road in Cedar Key, Feb-ruary 10. Bryan Worley started on the mound for the visitors. He pitched four innings allowing 1 hit and 1 walk, as he struck out 7 batters. Mill Lang, a junior pitcher for the Tigers came into the game in the fifth inning

Trenton Tiger baseball team is 3-0 this seasonas he struck out 3 batters and had 1 walk in the last inning of this game. The Tigers at the plate hit the Sharks pitching well as they recorded 5 hits, 9 RBIs, and 6 stolen bases. Mill Lang led the Tigers, hitting 2 of 3 with 3 RBIs. Kyle Wiggins hit 1 for 2 with an RBI. Brooks Martin hit 1 for 3 with 3 RBIs and a double. Jon Ward hit a 2 RBI homerun in this game for the Tigers. The Tigers clinched a con-vincing, 11-0 victory in five innings.

On Thursday, February 13 the Ti-gers hosted their home opener with the Branford Bucs at Bryant Field. Trenton’s Jordon Hewitt opened on the mound, pitching four innings striking out 8, with 3 walks. Mill

Lang took the mound in the fifth in-ning, striking out 1 as the Tigers de-fense shut out the Bucs, 10-0, in five innings. The Tiger hitters shelled the Bucs for 9 hits, and 2 stolen bases. Seniors Kyle Wiggins and Ozie Par-rish led the Tigers at the plate. Wig-gins hit 2 for 2, with an RBI double, and scored a run. Parrish hit 2 for 2, and scored 3 runs. Michael Smith hit 2 of 3, with an RBI, scoring 1 run. Hamp Cheevers had 1 of 3 hits with an RBI scoring 1 run. The Tigers to-taled 9 RBIs with 2 doubles and a triple, on this cold, windy Thursday night at Bryant Field.

The Tigers traveled to Newberry on Friday night February 14 to avenge

a season opener with the Newberry Panthers. Trenton had stumbled as they were defeated by Newberry in the pre season tournament. This game was slated to be a great game and it only disappointed the Panthers. The Tigers had a solid effort Friday night as they defeated the Panthers 3-2 in a classic 1A contest.

This Friday night the Trenton Ti-gers will travel to Bell to play the Bulldogs. Bell is reported to be much improved in 2014 as they have set their goals on competing for the Dis-trict 6 1A title. The first pitch for this game will be at 7 p.m. Come out and support these young men as they com-pete to win the District 6 1A title.

SubmittedThe February meeting was a sea of

reds, pinks and black as the Gilchrist County Woman’s Club celebrated a Valentine’s theme. There were two guest speakers. Wayne Griner of Three Rivers Library talked about the wide variety of programs being offered by the library. The programs have attracted over 1,200 people this past year and the classes are growing. If you want more information you can visit the website: 3riverslibrary.com .

Elizabeth Gutierrez talked about a Child Advocacy Center for our tri-county area. Child Advocacy Centers help children in need, and allow the various child protection disciplines to be centrally located for the convenience of those children. I am sure you will be hearing more about this vital endeavor in the coming year.

The Program Committee did a great job this month on the delicious dinner and the two outstanding speakers.

The Club’s Spring Rummage Sale will be held the weekend of March 28-29, so start gathering items for the sale. We will be discussing the details of this event in the March meeting.

Members: We have voted to have a cakeless bake sale. Be sure to bring $20 to the next meeting to go towards our “Emperor’s Cake Sale” (remember the story about the Emperor’s Clothes?).

The next meeting will be held on March 13 at the Gilchrist County Woman’s Club. The social starts at

Gilchrist County Woman’s Club News

6:30 p.m. and the meeting follows at 7 p.m.

Members are encouraged to bring a guest who is interested in joining the club.

Highway 26 became a busy place on Tuesday, Feb. 11 as 40 day members and 32 night members met for their meetings throughout the day. The 40 day members were welcomed by President Kathy Beaulieu and Hostesses Fran Roberts and Pat Castor. Decor for the meeting was Valentine, in traditional red. Fran and Pat do a wonderful job of organizing the fellowship time that is enjoyed by the day members before the monthly business meeting. The night quilters enjoyed a Valentine party during their evening meeting. Six new night members will begin a beginner class starting on February 18.

Terri Trail, Special Event Coordinator, presented plans she and her sister, Madonna, have made for the upcoming quilt festival on March 15. Springhouse will be located in the historic depot and will have 50 or more quilts on display for viewing by the public. Springhouse will also have their gift and bake shop on the large porch at the depot. Members were encouraged to participate and make special small gifts and baked

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, Feb. 13th at the Levy County Quilt Museum at 11050 NW 10th Ave. Several people brought in their projects for show and tell. Mildred had redwork and Janie brought in several pieces of chicken scratch.

What is chicken scratch? It’s a variation of cross stitch that makes a lacy like image. Using gingham (the small plaid print) material embroidery work is done around the white part of the print (you could also do the colored part) and create a pattern on the material. You can create your own pattern on graph paper then create embroidery work on the material. We have a quilt that has been done in the chicken scratch

Jean visited us last year and thought we would be a good home to her vintage Lone Star quilt. She brought it and knows that we’ll give it a good home. You can see where the quilter stopped for a couple of years, then finished the quilt. All the quilting is done by hand. Thanks Jean for thinking of us.

Log Cabin Quiltersso come out and see for yourself what I’m trying to explain.

During the week, Jean Mitchell donated a Lone Star quilt that’s about 70 years old, that she had found in an antique store in Georgia about 15 years ago. If only this quilt could talk, there would be some interesting stories. The quilt maker completed 6 of the sections and put it aside for whatever reason. Years later, the final 2 sections were finished and the quilt was hand quilted. Think of the history and tales this quilt could tell.

Don’t forget the first Saturday of the month yard and craft sale is March 1. We’d love to have you join us. There is no charge to set up. For more information, call (352) 493-2292.

Springhouse Quiltersgoods to be placed in the gift shop. Donna Hayes, Chris Schreiber and Cheryl Hamrick will collect and prepare the quilt display on festival day.

The monthly Sit and Sew, hosted by Fran Roberts, will be on February 24, beginning at 9:00 AM. This is a chance for members to bring their items to share and work on in the meeting room at Springhouse. This is a fun time to just sit and sew and finish UFO projects.

Membership in Springhouse is up to 105 members and seems to keep growing. We do lose a few members each year, but are lucky enough to gain new members to replace those who leave us.

A long time member, Mary Rawlins, will be leaving the area at the end of February. She will be relocating to be near her daughter. Another long time member, Gloria Sutton, moved away during 2013 to be near her family. Springhouse will miss these two ladies and their quilting talents.

Saint Leo’s Trenton Center launches BA degree in Accounting

By Rosemary McDaniel, PIO

At the January 7, 2014 meeting, the Sheriff’s Volunteers welcomed Burton “Doc” Wester as a new member.

During the month of January, Citizens Patrol cars were driven 3,195 miles and volunteers contributed 137 hours of their time while patrolling city and county roads, Rock Bluff Park, Sunset Point boat ramp, Ellie Ray’s Campground, Suwannee River boat ramp, Log Landing boat ramp, Santa Fe River park and Hart Springs. Volunteers also covered numerous school crossings and provided a funeral escort.

CARE (the Check and Respond Every day) program volunteers made 52 well check calls and 30 visits to county residents enrolled in the program. If you, or someone you know, could benefit from a daily phone call or visit because they live alone, please call Director Milli Blalock at (352) 463-6570 for information regarding enrollment.

The next meeting will be held March 4th at 6:00 p.m. in the Sheriff’s Office meeting room. All volunteers are urged to attend and the public is always invited.

News from the Sheriff’s Volunteers

The Garden Club of the Tri Coun-ties will hold its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 25, begin-ning at 7 p.m. at the Fanning Springs Community Center. Our program for this month will be “Flowers, Plants and Planting Seasons”. It will be presented by Heather Blake. It is with much relief and gratitude that I announce Heather has agreed to be the Program Chairperson for the year 2014.

Also, I need to remind the mem-bers that our annual dues should be

paid no later than our April meeting. They are $10 per year.

Our Painting party in January was so much fun. We visited, we ate and we actually did paint. Most everyone finished their flower pot except for the few that had large pots. Perhaps we can have another one this sum-mer. If you were unable to come in January just find yourself a pot (old or new), store it away and stay tuned for updates.

Hope to see you next Tuesday. Re-member-everyone is welcome.

Garden Club will meet Feb. 25

The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) is currently working with electric companies throughout its 15-county region to provide electrical consumption data that will be used to determine agricultural water use.

The District requires monitoring and reporting of groundwater and surface water withdrawals for new, renewed, and modified permits. The requirement applies to permitted withdrawals from wells with an inside diameter of 8 inches or greater and to surface water pumps with an outside diameter of 6 inches or greater.

The District is pursuing an innovative, cost-efficient means to obtain accurate water use data from agricultural producers. Agriculture is the largest permitted water use in the District. The water use data is critical to plan for future water supplies and manage water resources.

Agricultural producers electing to participate in this program will authorize the participating electric utility to provide electrical consumption meter data for each water pump. The District will then be able to accurately determine the water use.

Central Florida Electric Cooperative, Inc., and another cooperative have signed agreements with the District to allow for the transmittal of electrical data, following customer authorization to release the data. These partnerships provide essential data that will enable the District to assess water use without additional costs to our agricultural producers and save our taxpayers money.

The District is presently working with other electric companies to obtain this vital information in a cost-efficient manner. Once the other companies partner with the District to share the electrical data, agricultural producers in those service areas will be able to participate in the monitoring requirements while avoiding additional costs to provide the data through other methods.

“We are happy to provide electrical consumption data to the District to enhance its water use monitoring program,” said Central Florida Electric Cooperative, Inc., Chief Financial Officer Eddie Thomas.

“We appreciate the leadership of Central Florida Electric Cooperative, Inc., in partnering with the District to provide us this information, which is the most cost-effective method to collect accurate water use data,” said District Executive Director Ann Shortelle.

and timely tax return.

Questions Most Frequently Asked About Tangible Personal Property

What is Tangible Personal Property?A. Tangible Personal Property is everything other than real estate that has value by itself. It would include things such as furniture, fixtures, tools, machinery, household appliances, signs, equipment, leasehold improvements, supplies, leased equipment and any other equipment used in a business or to earn income.Who must file?A. Anyone in possession of assets on January 1 who has either a proprietorship, partnership, corporation or is a self-employed agent or contractor, must file each year. Property owners who lease, lend or rent property must also file.Why must I file a return?A. Florida Statutes 193.052 requires that all tangible personal property be reported each year to the Property Appraiser's office. If you receive a return, it's because our office has determined that you may have property to report. If you feel the form is not applicable, return it with an explanation. Either way, the form MUST be returned. Failure to receive a Personal Property Tax Return (DR-405) does not relieve you of your obligation to file.How can I obtain this form?A. At the beginning of the year a return is mailed to Tangible Personal Property owners. If you do not get one, contact the Property Appraiser's Office.What if I have no assets to report? Do I still have to file a return?A. Yes, if you feel you do not have anything to report, fill out items 1 through 9 on the return, and attach an explanation of why nothing was reported. However, almost all businesses and rental units have some assets to report even if it is only supplies, rented equipment or household goods.If I am no longer in business, should I still file the return?A. Yes, if you were not in business on January 1 of the taxing year, follow this procedure:1) On your return, indicate the date you went out of business and the manner in which you disposed of your business assets. Remember if you still have the assets, you must file on them.2) Sign and date the return.3) Have your signature notarized.4) Mail the return back to this office.What is an office or field review assessment?A. When a tax return is not filed by April 1 we are required to place an assessment on the property. This assessment represents an estimate based on the value of business with similar equipment and assets. Being assessed does not alleviate your responsibility to file an accurate return.What if I don't agree with the assessed value that appears on the notice of proposed property taxes that I receive in August of each year?A. Call this office or come in and discuss the matter with us. If you have evidence that the appraised value is more than the actual fair market value of your property, we will welcome the opportunity to review all the pertinent facts.

HELPFUL HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS* File the original return with this office (with name and account number preprinted), as soon as possible before April 1. Be sure to sign and date your return.* Work with your accountant or C.P.A. to identify any equipment that may have been "Physically Removed". List those items in the appropriate space on your return.* If you have an asset listing or depreciation schedule that identifies each piece of equipment, attach it to your complete return.* Do not use vague terms such as "various" or "same as last year".* It is to your advantage to provide a breakdown of assets since depreciation on each item may vary.* Please include your estimate of fair market value and the original cost of the item on your return. They are important considerations in determining an accurate assessment.* Additional information regarding filing is provided in the instructional section of the return itself.* If you sell your business, go out of business, or move to a new location, please inform this office.

Q. What if I buy or sell an existing business during the year - Who is responsible for the taxes? A. The new owner is responsible, however if there is insufficient property to satisfy the taxes due, the owner on January 1 would be responsible for the difference. Most title companies do not do a search of the tangible assets of a business. You should therefore consult your realtor, attorney or closing agent to avoid problems in this area.Q. What if I receive more than one tax return? A. All returns must be sent back. If you have more than one location, the assets of each should be listed separately on each return.Q. What if I have old equipment that has been fully depreciated and written off the books? A. Whether fully depreciated in your accounting records or not, all property still in use or in your possession should be reported.Q. Do I have to report assets that I lease, loan, rent, borrow or are provided in the rent? A. Yes, there is an area on the return specifically for those assets. Even though the assets are assessed to the owner, they must be listed for informational purposes.Q. Is there a minimum value that I do not have to report? A. No, there is no minimum value. A tangible tax return must be filed on all assets by April 1.Q. If I rent my furnished home or condo for a few months, do I have to file a tangible personal property tax return? A. Yes, since rental activity is of an income producing nature, you must file a return which lists your personal property. Items that should be listed include: Draperies, furniture, appliances and any other personal property included in the rental unit.

Q. Are there deadlines and penalties? A. The deadline for filing a timely return is April 1. After April 1, Florida Statutes provide that PENALTIES be applied at 5% per month or portion of a month that the return is late. A 15% penalty is required for unreported property, AND A 25% PENALTY IF NO RETURN IS FILED.
