Building Supply opened its doors in Bell, and recently the locally owned business underwent a remodel.

The store didn’t change much in terms of square footage, but the look is dramatically different. Shelving units are now seven feet tall and they hold wares, including over 4,000 new items that are now in stock.

Mike and Donna Hayes opened the store in 1979, and though Mike has retired, Donna still works in the office. Their son, Jeff, and his wife

Gilchrist Building Supply in 1979 (at right) and today (above).

By Taylor BrownThis past Saturday evening I

attended a performance by the Trenton Drama Club of their musical production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. I’ve come to expect great things from the Trenton Drama Club and these Tigers, along with some Bulldog buddies, continue to deliver winning performances. From the stately persona of the Prince’s valet, Grimsby, to the whimsical flightiness of the seagull, Scuttle, the acting and singing is truly top-notch.

Trenton High junior, Kylie Johnson, brings the role of Ursula, the sea witch, to life with her commanding stage presence, and a voice that’s ready for Broadway! I hope we get to see and hear more of Kylie in her senior year.

Elizabeth Avila in her role as The Little Mermaid, Ariel, once again delights the audience with her magnificent voice. She has the acting skills to accompany her voice and is perfectly cast in the lead role. This is particularly impressive when considering that Elizabeth is a sophomore. This should please the audience since we’ll likely get

to enjoy a couple more years of watching this very talented Tiger.

Trenton senior Mike Ryan co-stars in the male lead role of Prince Eric. Mike has not participated in the Drama Club since the fourth grade, but you would never know it, as he seems so comfortable on stage. He excels in the role and conveys just the right amount of emotion required of his character. He strikes me as a natural actor with talent he’s hidden from us for years. Hey Mike, what’s up with that?

Austin Thomas, a junior at Bell High, brings some of that legendary bulldog courage with him to his role as the lovable crab, Sebastian. Austin has the courage to take on a major role, one that requires he speak with a Caribbean island accent, and considering this is his first time acting, you have to admire him for it! He pulls it off like an old pro.

Another Bulldog, Bell High junior, Penelope Sutliff, gives a gourmet performance as Chef Louis. The zany musical number “Les Poissons” is a real treat gastronomique.

Whenever I attend these plays I’m

Tigers and Bulldogs join forces for

The Litte MermaidEncore performance Saturday at 7 p.m.

The Little Mermaid cast has worked very hard on their latest musical production.

Lori oversee operations. Jeff has been working at Gilchrist Building Supply since he was 14-years-old and he is the one who built the store’s new service counters out of maple.

“Things were difficult during the economy’s downturn, but we got through it,” Lori said. “We’ve wanted to remodel for years, but with the economy, we didn’t actually get started until November.”

Customers clearly like what they see. According to Lori, business has picked up and Gilchrist Building Supply now serves 175 to 200

customers each day. “I love the new look of the store!”

said Pat Short, a Bell resident, who stopped in on Monday to do a little shopping.

Since remodeling, Gilchrist Building Supply now carries a new product line of Milwaukee tools, along with an expanded section of nuts and bolts in addition to automotive, building materials, cleaning supplies, doors and windows, electrical, farm and ranch, hand tools, hardware, heating and cooling, kitchen and bath, lawn and garden, lighting, paint and supplies, plumbing, power tools, safety, and storage and organizing essentials.

“The idea with the remodel was to offer our customers more of an assortment of the products they really use,” Lori said. “Every department in the store has been expanded.”

John Belasky has been working at Gilchrist Building Supply for two weeks now and said it was the owners’ Christian values and the good work atmosphere that drew him to the store. Belasky moved to Bell three years ago and works as the youth director at Bell Baptist Church.

“They [the Hayes family] are just really good people,” Belasky said.

Since going to work at Gilchrist Building Supply, Belasky said he has had the opportunity to meet many local residents, whether while

helping them locate products in the store or ringing up a sale at the front counter.

“It’s been great getting to meet all the customers, now I just have to remember everyone’s name,” Belasky said.

It’s those loyal customers who have continued to support Gilchrist Building Supply over the years that keep the doors open at this locally owned business Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We’re very grateful to our customers,” Donna Hayes said.

On behalf of your American Cancer Society’s 2014 Relay For Life of The Tri Counties we’d like to thank you for participating in the recent event. We are grateful for your commitment to donate and raise funds and awareness about a disease that affects so many.

The outstanding support received proves the people of Dixie, Gilchrist and Levy counties are truly committed to the fight against cancer and are to be commended.

With sponsorship and general donations the total to date is: $73,346.07. An outstanding job was completed by the thirty seven teams and the many Relay For Life

volunteers participating in this year’s event. We applaud the survivors and caregivers that participated in the opening lap and the survivor recognition. They are the reason we continue the fight because each year there can be more people living wonderful lives following a diagnosis of cancer and celebrating more birthdays. The Relay For Life Committee is to be commended for the job of putting the event together and we thank them.

Again, thank you for supporting the American Cancer Society and together we will save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

SubmittedWork is expected to begin in May

on a project which will improve the ability for pedestrians to walk from the Senior Center to U.S. 129, in Trenton.

A five foot wide concrete sidewalk will be built along the south side of County Road 307-A, from the Senior Center, to the existing sidewalk on the west side of U.S. 129; a distance of .2 miles.

Some of the driveways that the sidewalk passes will have to be temporarily closed so crews can place the concrete for the sidewalk. However, residents will be contacted in advance of the work.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will oversee the project and hired R. E. Arnold Construction, Inc., of Archer to build the sidewalk at a cost of $170,400.00. The project is combined with sidewalk construction in Levy and Suwannee counties and should be completed later this year.

For more information on this project, please contact FDOT at (800) 749-2967, ext. 7830.

“In family relationships LOVE is really spelled time.”

- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day, well really, a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend, since my mother and I spent Saturday together.

If you know my mother, Doris Beauchamp, then you know she stays pretty busy. Most recently, she has spent every Saturday, over the last few months, teaching one of her granddaughters to sew.

After some discussion about where we should go and what restaurant we would eat at this past Saturday, momma decided she would like to go to the Alachua County Farmers’ Market in Gainesville, visit Belk® to buy new sandals for church, and eat lunch at Cracker Barrel®.

My momma taught me to love a farmers’ market. As a child, she would have my father take any exit off the interstate that had a farmers’ market sign. Truly, through the years I have been to many, many farmers markets all over the South. Some markets were really good and some were not so good. I can truthfully say the Alachua County Farmers’ Market is a good one, especially in the spring when the vegetables come in.

On Saturday, momma and I purchased some fresh pole beans and wonderful cheese made by a lady from Hawthorne. She offered samples so people could taste test the cheese before buying it. I always take home her Magnolia cheese, but all the cheese the woman makes is really good.

The real find of the day was stone ground grits and meal. A nice gentleman from the Alachua area is growing corn that has been passed down through his Florida family for generations. So the grits and meal are made from natural heirloom corn that has been locally grown.

Graham Farm always has a booth of beautiful plants at the market and this visit I took home a nice basil plant. Momma admired all the pretty flowers and plants the vendors were selling, we even found a couple plants she had not seen before and the growers were happy to tell us all about them.

After shopping for shoes and lunch, we headed home talking non stop as you might imagine. After we got

back home we were having so much fun that we visited awhile longer. We looked at the clock and it was 4:00 and momma said, “Well, we have put in a day!”

At 85, she was a little worn out, but we had spent a perfect day together.

A few of my good friends have lost their mothers this past year and it has made me value mine all the more. If I could have written the script for our mother-daughter day I don’t believe I would have changed a thing.

Both my brothers spent time with momma on Sunday. One took her out for breakfast and a tour of his garden and the other invited her to a family fish fry.

Our Mother’s Day was spent at home. John grilled hamburgers and fish for our children and grandchildren on Sunday evening and then we sat around on the back porch visiting for a while before everyone went home. All and all, I have to say this was a wonderful Mother’s Day.

----- Our zucchini squash are coming in

now and I tested this recipe out on my quilting buddies last week and they liked it. Instead of making full size muffins I made mini muffins from the recipe and added the brown butter glaze. This recipe can be made with or without the browned butter glaze which is easy to make and tasty.

Zucchini Muffins3 eggs1 cup vegetable oil2 cups sugar1 teaspoon vanilla2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini3 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking soda1/4 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon1 cup chopped pecans

Combine eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla and zucchini, mixing well. Stir dry ingredients together in mixing bowl. Make a well in dry ingredients, pour in liquid mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon batter into greased and floured muffin pans, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Browned Butter Glaze2 tablespoons butter2/3 cup confectioners sugar1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon half and half or milk

Heat butter in sauce pan over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3 minutes or until butter begins to brown. Remove butter from heat and whisk in confectioners sugar and half and half.

----- This onion pie recipe was printed

several years ago and a friend asked me to reprint it since he had lost his recipe. This recipe is rich and really good.

Vidalia Onion Pie2 large Vidalia onions, sliced thin(about 3 cups onions)2 cups medium Cheddar cheese, grated1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, optional½ teaspoon saltblack pepper to taste¼ cup whipping cream1 pie crust

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange half the onions in pie crust

then top with half the cheese. Add a second layers of onions and top with a second layer of cheese, sprinkle salt and pepper over the top and drizzle the whipping cream over the pie. Bake for 25 minutes until the cheese is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set on a wire rack and cool slightly. Serve in wedges while still warm.

Tip: I blind bake my crust for about 10 minutes before I make this pie. I use the Pillsbury rolled up crust from the dairy case. To blind bake a pie crust, lay a sheet of wax or parchment paper over the crust and put about 1 cup of dried rice or dried beans into crust bake the crust for about 10 minutes and then remove the sheet of waxed paper with rice from crust. This blind baking process gives the crust a chance to pre-bake so it will not become soggy when the filling is added.

That’s why they play the game!Last Tuesday evening, while I was

attending the Trenton vs. Hamilton County regional semi-final baseball game, I witnessed a controversial play at home plate.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, a Tiger base runner was involved in a scoring attempt at the plate that resulted in the base runner being ejected from the game. The official based the ejection of the player on the fact that the player ran into the catcher who was standing in the base line, blocking the plate. The catcher did not have the ball, nor was the ball being thrown to the catcher who was blocking home plate.

FHSAA’s ruling, following the appeal from Trenton High School, reported that if the player attempt-ing to score had slid into home base, there would not have been an alterca-tion, thus the runner would not have been ejected from the game. FHSAA pointed out that the altercation by the runner was the problem.

I don’t think that is the case, if the player standing in the base line blocking the plate had not been in the way, there would not have been an altercation. If the runner had slid into home, thus taking the catcher’s legs out from under him, the catcher

would have still been in the wrong place, because he was not involved in a play with the ball at home plate.

In the eyes of the FHSAA, the moral of this case is to try beyond all means to not be involved in a colli-sion with another player. But, in the game of baseball, sometimes there is just no way around it. A coach and his staff instruct players on the fun-damentals of the game and then let them play.

I commend the THS Baseball team, Coach Rendeck, and all of his staff for doing an outstanding job this season. The Tigers are a great team and I think they play the game the right way.

Play ball, Tigers!___________

Dear Editor, Since no one commented in

last week’s Journal issue, we feel compelled to write to you a note, of gratitude and appreciation to all those people that helped with the area’s Tri-County Relay-For-Life event, held on Friday/Saturday, May 2-3, at the Gilchrist FFA Rodeo Arena.

There is absolutely no way to name all those folks involved, but we did want to personally thank Kyle Stone (our local “angel”), who orchestrated our event, along with working with the local Cancer Society’s chairperson, Tracy Ridgeway, and her “silent partner” Dale Anderson, who all were very instrumental in organizing this year’s event, along with all the other teams and participants that made it such a success (despite the rainy weather). Thanks also, for the FFA’s arena that serves many organizational events each year as well.

On a personal note, I would like to express a special hug to “Little Verna” Wilson, who was in charge again for the survivors/caregivers dinner, along with those local businesses/groups that donated towards the wonderful dinner, door prizes and gift-bag of goodies. Wow, we were even provided entertainment for this year’s dinner, by the guitar/singing duo of Don Thomas and Brent Owens—you guys were great!!!

It was amazing that so many people showed up, whether rain or shine, and the parking area stayed full, with several persons (unlike ourselves, who tired out too quickly after the survivors’ dinner) staying up and lasting the whole night. Bless you all!! It was even more inspirational, to see so many young people from the Trenton/Bell community participating this year, as we carry on this meaningful Relay to the next generations, to fight for the cure!!!

The money that was brought in (over $73,000 reported, so far) is amazing in and of itself, but the undaunting and caring spirit of our local citizens that are donating “gifts of life”, trying to find a cure and treat those patients with this dreadful disease, makes it all worth-while despite all the hard work and advanced planning that make this event such a success on all levels. Congratulations to the whole community-at-large, for another job well done, as you made us all proud.

Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, to each and everyone of you in Gilchrist (and the surrounding Levy and Dixie Co.’s area) that were involved. For all those giving of their time, money and physical/emotional/spiritual gifts to this cause, we salute you!!!

Whether you do this in the memory of loved family and friends, or to encourage faith and hope to those survivors living strong and never giving up, we love and honor you all…

years), Jean and Paul_________________

By Carrie A. MizellChevrolet trucks may in fact “run

deep” as the slogan boasts, just not into deep water.

Insurance adjusters recently totaled the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck Gilchrist County Road Depart-ment Superintendent Billy Cannon drove into flood waters while trying to save a couple near Sun Springs.

On Monday the Gilchrist County Board of County Commissioners vot-ed unanimously to purchase a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado as a replacement to the pickup truck that was totaled in a work related incident.

According to Bobby Crosby, Gilchrist County administrator, the transmission in the 2013 truck was damaged from the flood waters, along with air bag sensors in the ve-hicle. The insurance adjuster report-ed that the 15 to 18 air bag sensors in the truck were under water for an ex-tended period of time and as a result

Road Department superintendent’s truck replaced

they could now deploy at anytime, or just not deploy at all in the event of an accident.

Crosby said that it would cost an estimated $18,000 to $20,000 just to replace the air bag sensors on the 2013 vehicle.

The county administrator recom-mended the Board purchase a new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab pickup truck with four wheel drive from Scoggins Chevrolet. The list price on the truck is $47,070, however, the County can purchase the vehicle at a cost of $37,908.13. The insurance company will pay Gilchrist County $32,600 on the totaled pickup truck, which leaves the county with a difference owed of $5,308.13.

Commissioner Kenrick Thomas made a motion to purchase the ve-hicle and Commissioner John Rance Thomas agreed with a second, prior to the Board unanimously approving the purchase.

Accommodation indicates “something supplied for convenience or to satisfy a need.” If this meaning is not clear, talk to the parent of a two-year old. Accommodation is very convenient when you are trying to grocery shop and your toddler “needs” a cookie. When my kids were this age, I planned ahead to accommodate during a shopping trip if I ever wanted to leave the store with my sanity, or anything to cook for dinner. A box of animal crackers was an easy and perfect solution!

In continuing our study of conflict resolution strategies, accommodation is the strategy more focused on preserving relationships, at least in the short term. With minor issues (such as a cookie) this can be a productive strategy. However, this strategy may create a problem when the choice to give in to the demands of the other is related to more important issues, but is still chosen simply to avoid conflict or stress. One disastrous Biblical example of accommodation is found in the book of Genesis 16. Abram and Sarai had no children, despite God’s promise that He would give them a son. Sarai made the following suggestion to solve this dilemma: “So she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said.” Genesis 16:2 (NIV) Abram accommodated Sarai, no doubt to soothe her pain of being barren and to avoid further stress and conflict. Needless to say, further stress and conflict arrived rather quickly!

Those who always prefer the accommodating strategy are often described as being “nice” and find satisfaction in helping others. They believe the old adage that “you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar” and feel that this strategy serves them well most of the time. Accommodating can be appropriate and productive when preserving the

relationship is more important than winning the argument. However, we must think long-term to see the benefit of another strategy. Like in Abram and Sarai’s story, accommodation can actually damage a relationship over time (read the rest of Genesis 16). In fact, during disagreements those who usually accommodate the needs of others may find that they are not able to come to a resolution that seems fair to them (or what is best for the other person). Their natural reaction to avoid the stress of conflict and appease others may put them in a weak position where they can be taken advantage of. This usually leads to feelings of resentment and loss of respect from self and others. This is especially true when dealing with another person’s sin and addiction. The only way to accommodate someone living with an addiction is to help them destroy their life. This should never be an option.

Knowing when and how to utilize a different strategy is vital to successful conflict resolution and healthy relationships. People who are normally accommodating should work to develop the wisdom to know what choices to make in a given situation, and not be afraid of standing up for a solution that is more beneficial to all concerned. Because every heart matters!

The Log Cabin Quilters met Thurs-day, May 8, at the Levy County Quilt Museum, 11050 NW 10th Ave in Chiefland.

Jannie and Alice Mae helped name the old quilt blocks that had been on the porch. The old blocks will be in a scrapbook for all to see.

As you know, the Museum is run by volunteers and like most organiza-tions, we need more volunteers. You do not need to be a quilter or even able to sew, just wanting to be around others is all that is needed.

We’re open Tuesday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A few hours a week would be very helpful and you would not be by yourself. If noth-ing else, just come out and visit for a while.

By Geneva CornwellWith the month of May we are

promised flowers from those April showers; flowers of all descriptions. And with all those wonderful and individual shapes and scents, May flowers bring that special sunshine to one’s heart and mind. In thinking about flowers, it can remind a person of the diversity of the many character traits available for one to learn, for there are forty-nine of them and learning character is a life-long process.

This month we will concentrate on the quality of discretion. It’s kind of a challenging word to pronounce and remember, but as we study this special word, it is hoped that a good understanding will allow the reader to know that it’s a very special trait and one which brings, when practiced, refreshment to the soul.

Discretion: recognizing and avoiding words, actions, and attitudes that could bring undesirable consequences. Discretion: the quality of being cautiously reserved in speech, and the ability to make responsible decisions. Discretion considers reactions before they happen. Discretion chooses words carefully and checks the attitude. Discretion minds good manners, and learns from critics.

In learning about the deep roots of discretion it is necessary to know that the testing of actions must be so before the implementation of them, while weighing each word one hears from others, in turn, a response, or a lack of one, will communicate meaning. Discretion requires determining the attitude is right, not by how circumstances appear. As far as good manners are concerned, discretion teaches that showing appreciation for the people in one’s life demonstrates courtesy. And lastly, taking the time to discern from the criticism of others, can give a valuable lesson by learned from that criticism.

In conclusion, discretion is

considering every thought and attitude before acting in order to abandon those that would cause unnecessary damage, for with discretion, improvement in one’s life comes, which brings enrichment in relationships with others.

If the reader is interested in learning more about character, he/she is cordially invited to the upcoming Character Council meeting, to be held on Tuesday, May 27; 10:00 a.m.; to be held at the Trenton Library Meeting Room.

The Trenton and Bell Food Pantries also benefited from Sheriff’s Volunteers involvement.

One volunteer with the CARE (Check and Respond Every day) Program made 29 calls and 29 visits. The CARE Program provides daily well-being checks to residents who are elderly and/or infirm and live alone who would feel more comfortable having someone check on them. Anyone desiring more information regarding the CARE Program should call Director Blalock at (352) 463-6570.

The next meeting will be held on June 3 at 6 p.m. in the Sheriff’s Office meeting room. The public is invited to attend to learn more about Sheriff’s Volunteers and perhaps consider joining this public service organization.

Gilchrist Sheriff’s Volunteers NewsGovernor Rick Scott, joined by

Representative Ritch Workman, local leaders, emergency management per-sonnel, first responders, health and medical professionals, and industry and business representatives, signed House Bill 5601 that cuts more than $121 million in taxes for Florida families and creates a nine-day sales tax holiday for hurricane supplies be-ginning May 31.

Governor Scott said, “Hurricane season begins June 1 and Florida families need to get a plan. While we always hope for the best, Florida families need to be prepared for any-thing. Everyone should have a family disaster kit with supplies and medica-tions, be prepared to evacuate if ad-vised to do so by emergency manage-ment officials, know your evacuation route and where you can take your pets if you have to shelter, and have all of your important documents and cash together to take with you.

“I am excited to announce Florida will have a tax holiday on hurricane supplies starting May 31. During the hurricane supply sales tax holiday, Floridians will be able to purchase items to prepare for a hurricane, such as flashlights, batteries, weather ra-dios, and other essential items. Flor-ida’s first responders and emergency officials are the best trained in the world, but it’s no substitute for Flo-ridians being prepared.”

Senate President Don Gaetz said, “If past is prologue then Floridians must always be ready for hurricanes. The tax cut legislation Governor Scott is signing today will reduce the costs of hurricane preparation and protection for every Florida fam-ily and business. Governor Scott is keeping his commitment to broad based tax relief. He means it when he says ‘Help is on the way!’”

Hurricane supply tax holiday

“Floridians understand the impor-tance of being prepared, which is why the Legislature included a sales tax holiday for hurricane supplies as part of our $500 million tax relief package,” said House Speaker Will Weatherford (R-Wesley Chapel). “I join Governor Scott in encouraging all Floridians to be prepared for the upcoming Hurricane season.” Senator Rob Bradley said, “I ap-preciate Governor Scott for suggest-ing the hurricane sales tax holiday as part of his overall proposal to cut $500 million in taxes this year.”

Florida Health Officials, along with the State Emergency Response Team, remind Floridians to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes and to take basic precautions to limit exposure when performing home cleanup following the recent flooding in the Florida Panhandle.

“Residents are urged to take precautions against mosquito-borne illnesses,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong.

“Take simple steps to protect yourself and your family, like wearing protective clothing and using repellent when outside. Draining and dumping water is also important to prevent mosquitoes from emerging in large numbers over the coming weeks.”

To protect yourself from mosquitoes, always remember to “Drain and Cover”:

Drain standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying.

• Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rain water has collected.

• Discard old tires, drums, bott les, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren’t being used.

• Empty and clean birdbaths and pet’s water bowls at least once or twice a week.

• Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don’t accumulate water.

• Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.

Cover skin with clothing or repellent.

• Clothing - Wear shoes, socks and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.

• Repellent - Apply mosquito

repellent to bare skin and clothing. • Always use repellents according

to the label. Repellents with DEET(N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide), picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535 are effective.

• Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.

Tips on Repellent Use • Always read label directions

carefully for the approved usage before you apply a repellent. Some repellents are not suitable for children.

• Products with concentrations of up to 30 percent DEET are generally recommended. Other US Environmental Protection Agency approved repellents contain picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. These products are generally available at local pharmacies. Look for active ingredients to be listed on the product label.

• Apply insect repellent to exposed skin, or onto clothing, but not under clothing. • In protecting children, read label instructions to be sure the repellent is age-appropriate. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), mosquito repellents containing oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under the age of three years. DEET is not recommended on children younger than two months old.

• Avoid applying repellents to the hands of children. Adults should apply repellent first to their own hands and then transfer it to the child’s skin and clothing.

• If additional protection is necessary, apply a permethrin repellent directly to your clothing. Again, always follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house.

• Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches and patios.

Health officials warn of mosquito dangers

Most of all, the prayers for our family were so greatly appreciated. We thank each of you and pray for Gods blessings upon you.

We would also like to thank Haven Hospice of Chiefland for their excellent care and kindness during our time of need. Also, thank you Heartland Rehab employees of Chiefland.

The family of Donald O’Brien Mathis

VETS HELPING VETS By: Toni C. Collins

Many of the men and women who serve in our nation’s military face a number of obstacles when returning home. However, through the Internet, social media, and the press, today’s returning veterans are made more aware of the many helping hands available to make the transition easi-er. One such organization is the Com-bat Veterans Motorcycle Association of Florida, Chapter 20-6. According to President, Kirk Layman, the asso-ciation is not a motorcycle club but a “riding association.” In addition to the joy of exploring the open road, the organization’s main purpose is to raise money for military charities. Founded as a worldwide association, the not-for-profit group is one of sev-en such chapters established in Flor-ida. President Layman emphasized that the primary goal of the organiza-tion is “Vets Helping Vets.” And help a vet was what they did this past Sat-urday. The members of CVMA 20-6 showed their true colors by holding a BBQ dinner at the AMVETS Post #42 in Chiefland to raise funds to as-sist veteran Dale “Texas” Kolden and his wife, Marilyn. Recently Marilyn suffered a heart attack and stroke and spent eight days in the hospital. Al-though Marilyn has recovered, the family has been left with some stag-gering medical bills. A combination of perfect spring weather, great food, and entertainment provided by the lo-cal band, “Ole Skool,” brought out members of both the Amvets Post and the Veterans Motorcycle Association to show their support. Although the event raised some funds to help the Kolden’s with their medical bills, the family still has a way to go. Anyone wishing to make a contribution is wel-come to send their check or money order to: Jim Hess, 12731 NW 93nd Lane, Chiefland, FL 32626. Checks should be made out to CVMA 20-6 and all contributions are tax deduct-ible. Fund raising activities will con-tinue this Saturday, May 17th, when the Ladies Auxiliary of the Amvets Post #42 plan to hold a taco dinner. From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., the ladies are offering three beef tacos with sides for $5.00. The Amvets Post is located at 14472 US Hwy 19, Chiefland (across the road from Dakota Winery).

For more information or to place orders, please call (352) 493-7468. To learn more about the Combat Vet-erans Motorcycle Association, you can contact Kirk Layman at (904) 370-0182 (Cell) or (386) 776-2756 (Home).

filled with enormous pride in our community for what this group of young people accomplishes. Oh sure, the show’s costumes are sensational as is the elaborate set design and the decorations that even extend throughout the entire auditorium. But even more impressive to me, is the dedication, productivity, creativity, talent, determination, courage and team work that is also quite evident on that stage. If you want to feel good about the future of our community, go see the show; you’ll see that indeed, we’re going to be in good hands.

Due to popular demand, a special encore performance has been added for this coming Saturday night! The show starts at 7 p.m. at the Trenton Elementary School Auditorium.

SubmittedThe Lady Bulldog softball team

traveled to Vero Beach for the 1A Softball Final Four State Tournament, Friday May 9.

This would be the first time in 15 years the Lady Bulldogs had advanced to the Final Four. Bell, Chiefland, west Florida’s Jay High School and Sneads High School were the 4 teams that advanced.

The game started with great anticipation as a big crowd had traveled from Bell to support the Lady Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs went 3 up 3 down offensively in the top of the 1st inning to start the game. In the bottom of the 1st inning the Lady Bulldogs struggled defensively immediately. Shelbie Hutto started the game in the circle giving up 6 runs off 4 hits with the defense committing 4 errors. Kylee Barry entered the game in the first inning to replace Hutto, giving up 7 runs off 7 hits with the defense committing 3 more errors.

After the first inning the defense calmed down with Barry giving up 1 hit and 1 run the remainder of the game.

Bell battled back to score 8 runs off 13 hits but the errors in the first inning were too much to overcome with the Jay Royals winning 14-8.

Bell’s leading batters were: Ashley Williams 2-5, 1 run, 2 RBI; Shelbie Hutto 2-4, 1 run, 1 RBI and Bryn

Bell Bulldogs fall short in state semi-final

Thomas 3-4, 2 runs, 1 RBI. The Lady Bulldogs finish 18-11 for the season.

Thank you to all the people who

supported these ladies all year and who traveled to support them at the Final Four.

Hamilton’s Trevor Sistrunk is standing in front of home plate as Trenton’s Michael Smith is attempting to score for the Tigers in the 4th inning. The umpire scored the run, and ejected the base runner from this game.

By John M AyersThe Trenton Tigers faced a very

energized Hamilton County Trojans baseball team, Tuesday, May 6 in Trenton. The Trojans executed a 3-0 lead into the bottom of the second inning before the Tigers cut the lead to 3-2 by the top of the 3rd inning.

In the bottom of the 4th, a Tiger base runner was involved in a scoring attempt at the plate that resulted in the base runner being ejected from this game. The official based the ejection on the base runner running into the catcher from third base. The catcher was standing in the base line blocking the plate. The FHSAA umpire that was calling balls and strikes behind the plate originally called the base runner out, before he ejected the Tiger player, but then explained the run counted, and the base runner was thrown out of the game. The catcher did not have the ball, nor was the ball being thrown to the catcher blocking home plate.

The Tiger fans could not believe the action of the official when he ejected the base runner from the game. Mac Rendeck, THS head baseball coach, took a time-out and went to great lengths to discuss the issue with the umpire, but the Tigers were the losers in this action. The Tigers went on to score 2 runs in the bottom of the 4th to take a 5-3 lead.

In the 5th, Trenton added a sixth run to increase their lead to 6-3. Stephen Smith moved to the mound in relief of Jon Ward and the starting pitcher went to third base. Ozie Parrish went to catcher and Mill Lang swung over to first from his position on third base. Smith struggled in the 6th inning as he walked three batters, hit a batter and allowed 1 run to score.

In the 7th inning, senior shortstop, Kyle Wiggins swapped positions with Smith at pitcher. Wiggins got the Tigers back on track as he faced three batters, throwing 9 pitches and earned the save for the 21-3, Tigers.

Trenton hit the ball with limited authority as the Trojans got the bounce of the ball in their gloves in this game. Hamilton had 6 hits and 2 errors in this game. The Tigers had 7 hits, 5 stolen bases and clawed their way to a 6-4 win. Trenton’s Mill Lang had a hit, a walk, 1 RBI and

scored a run. Brooks Martin had a hit, a walk, a stolen base and scored 1 run. Ozie Parrish had 2 hits and 1 RBI. Michael Smith had a stolen base, 1 RBI and scored a run. Stephen Smith had 1 hit, a stolen base, 3 walks and scored 1 run. Jon Ward had 1 hit, a stolen base and scored 1 run. Hamp Cheevers had 1 hit, a stolen base, 1 RBI

and scored 1 run. Hadon Leggett had 1 hit, and 1 RBI in this game.

Trenton High School appealed the ruling on the field by the umpire. THS Principal Cheri Langford reported an FHSAA ruling stipulated the base runner would not have been ejected if he had slid into the base, rather than running into the player blocking home plate.

The Tigers played Lafayette County on Tuesday in Mayo in the Region Four final.
