HER HUSBAND, DON, WILL REMAIN...........PERHAPS FOR THREE MONTHS!!! OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL. EMAIL WARNING AND THIS IS FOR REAL!!! I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND (WHO DID NOT SEND IT BY THE WAY), WHEN I OPENED IT, THE EMAIL AUTOMATICALLY WENT TO MY CONTACTS. IT IS CALLED DESKTOP DATING AND LOOKS LIKE A GAME. I ACTUALLY RECEIVED LOTS OF CUTE LITTLE ICONS TO ADD TO EMAILS!!! THEN.......FOUND OUT IT WAS SENT TO OTHERS ON MY LIST AND IS NOT LEGITIMATE EMAIL AT ALL........I DID NOT EMAIL THIS TO ANYONE AND DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW YOU WOULD STOP IT AS WHEN YOU OPEN, IT TAKES OVER!!! IT TOOK ME OVER 2 HOURS TO COMPLETELY DEFRAG AND CLEAN.......SO IF YOU RECEIVED FROM ME OR ANYONE ELSE...........WE ARE NOT SENDING IT!!!! ONTO TO BETTER THINGS..............MEN'S AUXILLIARY HOLDING LIVE AUCTION TOMORROW 3-5 AND SERVING FISH DINNERS 4-7!!! THIS IS AWESOME MONEYMAKER FOR OUR MEN WHO DO SO MUCH FOR ALL OF US AT THE VFW. COME ON DOWN AND GET IN ON SOME GOOD STUFF!!!! SPAGHETTI DINNERS ON SUNDAY. CACTUS JACK'S DANCING TO THE TUNES OF SUGAR BEAR THIS WEEKEND. FRONTIER HAS SOUTHERN RUKUS WITH JESSE!!! HEH HEH SALT RUN WILL BE PLAYING AT THE PIG PEN WITH FRIENDS AND FOOD ON THE 24TH...........AND THEN PLAYING AT CACTUS JACK'S 20 ANNIVERSARY PARTY ON THE 26TH. BELOW I WILL ADD TO THE BOTTLING PLANT DILEMMA THAT HAS BEEN SENT TO ME. ALSO, FOR AN INTERESTING LOOK AT BOTTLED WATER AND IT'S EFFECT.........SEARCH DOCUMENTARY "TAPPED", WHAT AN EYE OPENER FOR EVERYONE!!!! Additional information to my prior message. -- I spoke with Todd Eller of St. Johns River Management and discussed the new Bottling Plant's proposal. Their proposal as discussed by Mr. Jones, the engineer, was that they would run 18 hours. We went over the numbers. Eller advised that tanker trucks hold 6,300 gallons (at 7.48 pounds per gallon is 47,000 pounds). Thus 100,000 gallons divided by 6,300 equals 15.8, but he would only allow 15 trucks per day. Thus 15 trucks times 45 minutes equals 11.25 hours of running time (course this depends if they can fill the tanks that quickly). He further stated that Mr. Jones agreed to put a meter on their well and he (Eller would be watching this meter). I got the impression that he doubted that a tanker could be filled in 45 minutes using a 4 inch well. So 6,700 gallons in 45 minutes would be 148.8 gallons per minute. That seems like a lot to me. Course they could use a pump. Does anyone know pumps? However, if they ran 18 hours for 15 trucks would be 1.2 hours per tank or 92 gallons per minute. I asked if he could put an additional well on the property. His answer was NO. I asked if he could divide the property and sell to another person, who could then do the same. His answer was YES, but it would have to be a legitimate sale. Hmmm! Course any sale by a lawyer (Moody) would be legitimate! Anyway the bottom line is that the Bottling Plant is approved by St. Johns River Management. (I WITHHELD THE NAME OF SENDER) A county employee told me that the Moody's will consider piping the water to their property at the marina and them taking it by barge to a bottling facility. The attached aerial shows the property owned by Moody's to be almost contiguous from the well to the marina. It appears they would only need a right of way agreement from the county to lay a pipeline in a short section of the road. Most of the route is on Moody owned property. (shown in red) The recent 5 to 0 BCC vote about meters on private wells seemed to indicate all commissioners believe the water coming from a well is the exclusive property of the real property owner. If they are consistent and vote the same on this issue, it will be hard to stop. (I WITHHELD THE NAME OF SENDER) THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT TO THOSE OPPOSING THE PLANT I AM SURE. ANYONE CAN CHECK THIS INFORMATION FOR THEMSELVES, I AM ONLY THE MESSAGER, REMEMBER????? I AM SORRY FOR THE SALT SPRINGS COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE FACING THIS, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SO CALM AND SERENE HERE AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND BACK TO THE LIFE WE ALL LOVE. WASN'T IT GREAT TO BE IRISH FOR THE DAY................GREAT JOB BY CACTUS "O'LYNN" AT JACK'S AND JOE/JOANNIE O'MASSEY AT VFW FOR ALL THE FUN .....FOOD.....ENTERTAINMENT!!!!! "THE WISE MAN IS HE THAT CONSTANTLY WONDERS AFRESH!" MOJO

( attorney ) reapplied, new permit states: Construction of a well with an outside diameter less than 6" to produce mineral water to be loaded in trucks and transported to a location within the St. Johns River Water Management District Territory for treatment and bottling. As of March 8th a core group of people meet with an Attorney to continue our fight to oppose this project, there are expenses, we all need to stay together and support this cause, Please donate what you can, be it money for legal expense or info ( facts ) that will help us win against this Unnecessary, Environmentally Disturbing Project, and save our well from more water shortages. As of this time Zoning is April 25th at 5:30pm, County Commissioners is May 17th at 2:00pm. Thank you DID YOU KNOW IF YOU LINE UP USED PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES IN ONE YEAR, THEY WOULD CIRCLE THE EARTH 190 TIMES???? THINK WE NEED TO USE THE WATER OUT OF SPIGOT!!!! KEEP WRITING YOUR CO. COMMISSIONERS AND TALLAHASSEE. THERE WILL BE A FUNDRAISER SOON AT ONE OF THE LOCAL BUSINESSES TO RAISE MONEY FOR SALT SPRINGS LAWYER.

Thank you for listening to Salt Springs............... yukko to our own Comm. Carl Zalak, who thinks it's a good idea and was quite rude to members of our community at the meeting. Yukko to Comm. Stan McClain also. This issue, however is NOT over!!! Do not let your guard down. I was told the proposal could be brought back to the Board within a year!!! So that would mean anytime??? What about ecosystem?? What about bird sanctuary or turtle nests?? What about making more plastic bottles, can't get rid of the ones we have!!!! What about the quiet neighborhood?? What about masses of semis in and out 19 on the slope of the hill??? Hmm, these are "what about's" and there's more from Boilers. Take time to email thanks to the Commissioners who voted NO, maybe take time to email the two ditty ones!!!! CORRECTION, BIG ONE!!! Where was my mind?? Oh in Mexico, aha!!! Valentine King for the Day was BOB HENRY and YOYO was our Valentine Queen. In Spanish that somehow translated to Joann and Johnny??? Must brush up on my languages!!! Another GREAT Jeep Run Saturday.

02/10/11 ~ AS THE SPRING BOILS FROM MEXICO.... OK OK hope this goes through. Seems like a big issue in the forest and IT IS!! Weather, food, friends in my Mexican community of Puerto Morelos are fantastic!!!!!! Family Wants To Bottle Water In Marion County. Some homeowners told WFTV they are gearing up for a big fight at a public hearing next week. See the News Report on www.wftv.com about the 6 million dollar water plant that is proposed for a residential neighborhood located in the middle of Ocala National Forest and will be overlooking Lake George!

|
02/08/11 ~ Below is more information emailed to me on the proposed bottling plant to be located on Lake George side of 19, near the existing Marina. I went on Marion County Commissioners and you can email them. Kathy Bryant and Carl Zalak (our commissioner) were both here for the Tea Party meeting to give politicians a chance to speak to Salt Springs. Meeting Feb. 15 at 2:00. Petition to sign at Seiler's hardware, email or ATTEND!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Melvene, Unless the original Feb. 15th meeting was postponed, the below is incorrect. It's Feb. 15th at 2 pm. Also, think we need to stress the amount of water Larry plans to use everyday. Get this, 90,000 gallons PER DAY! Yet, we are only allowed to water our lawns once per week. This will not only affect those of us who live out here, as think of how many of those trucks will be rolling through Salt Springs everyday! Thanks, (Remember we are talking about 30 plus semis running in and out of there each day!!!!!!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Melvene, A little more on this in case one asks, according to Larry Moody, I was told by him it would be a 4" well taking 60,000 gallons a day and would employ 30 people. Of course we see in the paper a 6" well and up to 90,000 gals/day. And according to a person at the zoning office, they were given a power point presentation by the "petitioner" saying this water already naturally comes up and they would just be tapping into it, taking no more out of the ground than 2 similar wells already in the area. I am not aware of any wells in the area that are taking several thousands of gallons a day. For sure, this info needs to get out. Thanks for sending it. Not to mention an 80’ X 360’, 20ft. high eyesore of a building, or the water level dropping and anyone with a shallow well will have to dig a new one. Sign the petition at Seilers Hardware store and show up at the meeting.

01/30/11 ~ Just a bubblin and boilin up Florida weather, hooray Now everyone, see why YOU are in Florida, what a beautiful weekend around Salt Springs!!! Jackie Doss, we love you and appreciate everything you have done for our community and the VFW. I look for YOU to be BACK!!!! You can party with the girls now!!!!! A great day at the "v" honoring Jackie........everyday should be in her honor (the way I cook I REALLY love her) What a honor I had on Friday night (at the VFW) meeting little Somer Thompson's grandparents Phil and Debbie. If you were in Florida I'm sure you remember the abduction and killing of Somer Oct. 2009 in the Orange Park area. She was thrown like nothing into a dumpster in Ga. The killer is in jail and sadly for us, he is being fed, clothed and still breathes!!! There is a website, SomerThompsonFoundation where you can learn more about Somer, her family and this case. Thank you Phil and Debbie for sharing with me and NO, PHIL YOUR name is NOT MELVENE when you are in the "V". FIRST ANNUAL 2011 JEEP RUN, and what a run it was. We had 19 or 20 vehicles enjoying nature on a poker run. Ended up on Salt Springs Run, got an airboat off the ground and into the water. Larry rescued him with trusty jumper cables and then he took us for rides, not Larry, the airboater!!! On the way back, Dr. Harris family from Palatka had taken wrong road and stuck up to the patooties...........well BULL to the rescue with his trusty wench (that would be a tool, not a woman). So lucky for them we were out yesterday or they would still be walking, of course, he said he didn't know how they got in so surely wouldn't know how to walk out. Yep, thats the woods, people!!! Our guide Randy Rudd KNOWS where we can go and thank you Randy!!!! Had gourmet meal of hotdogs, dips, sandwiches.........now where could you be to have so much fun. Like Charlie Armstrong said, this group will never sit around and wonder what to do. Returned to Frontier for some pickin' with Grayson and Margie and Larry!!! This was a STELLAR SS Day!!! again!!! John and Rita, lookin' for you next time!!! Several on their first Jeep Run.........hey, Cactus Lynn will be back I'm sure........too much fun, huh??? Oh Toni and Dave SOMEONE was holding out on the Apple Pie.............hmmm, we shared!!! TODAY WANT SOMETHING TO DO????? Well, just so happens that world famous Bluegrass Band, Salt Run, will be pickin the tunes at Cactus Jack's at 5:00. We listened to their songs on the ride yesterday thanks to Bill's Bose.............hey, they have their own website up so we can keep up with them!!! I just like to look at their picture, hmmmm!!! ALSO Card playing at the Frontier this afternoon, talked to Connie this morning and the group is comin' in. FOOTBALL ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY, THE BIG GAME!! SUPERBOWL.............WAHOO, food, fun, friends everywhere!!! Men's Auxiliary will be hosting party at the "V" with plenty of food, big screen, 50/50 tickets, football squares (better get in quick) AND Cactus Jack's having blowout with Suzanne's famous lasagna, snacks, happy hour drinks and more chances on the squares!! Thanks to all for the fun you provide......Dorothy at the Frontier, Lynn at Cactus Jack's and ALL the groups at the VFW. Just think another month gone by...............hard to believe. Don't we just love livin' life day by day. Thinking of anyone that needs our support and prayers, we are all in this together!!!

Have a great weekend and just be glad you're here!! "hor d'oeuvres - a ham sandwich cut into forty pieces" mojo

12/30/10 ~ It's a bubblin down to the NEW YEAR 2011, unbelievable..........time flies when you're having fun in Salt Springs!!! With a lot of sadness, Robert called from Macclenny and a very dear friend of all of ours, one who loved Salt Springs, fished and partied here every year for probably the past 30 years or more. He dearly loved and respected Cactus Jack and was here for all cookouts, services to pay respects and honor him for his community work. Gary Fraser died suddenly and unexpectedly yesterday. He was here with friends from Macclenny each year, Gene, Gerold and Joe to fish. Gary leaves his longtime wife and love Myra and three children with several loving grandchildren. He will be greatly missed in both communities. Our prayers to the Fraser family. Well, it's here..........the night before the last night of this year. Say goodbye to 2010 in many ways...........Frontier, Cactus Jack's and VFW all celebrating the old and new with song, food and friends. Many camps having their own cookouts and gatherings from all around. Here Hewey's camp is in town and also heard the "ho train" will be up and running????? hmmm, never a lack for having a good time around here.

She got to pick out anything under the tree........now that's neat!!! Thanks. Happy Birthday to YOU!!! UH, Billy should be ask what Shawn gave you on Christmas eve, your BD too!!!

Great fried chicken at Frontier last night, Thanks always to Dorothy for fryin' up those critters. Tonight, get on down to Jack's for Carol's karaoke and special snacks and drinks. AND for those of you who have ever wondered about the real names of BIG AND RICH, I have the answer. Mark one up for ME, hehheh..........Rich IS John Rich BUT Big is Kenny Alphin, alias Big Kenny.......OK OK, thank you very much and I won't race anyone to the redlight!!! It's been quite a year..............good times are good, bad times are remembrances!!! Here's to all.........wishing you a very very happy and prosperous NEW YEAR.

11/08/10 ~ I checked this out with another attorney, very true!!! Will be interesting to hear her speak........ only correction is that Jarvis is State Attorney in Lake City district..... mojo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salt Springs Patriots, Our next meeting will be on Tuesday November, 16th at the Salt Springs Civic Association at 7:00 pm. Our special guest speaker has conducted various interviews, and appeared on several television programs, including "Your World with Neil Cavuto", and has an extraordinary story to tell. Former Florida assistant attorney, KrisAnn Hall, was fired from her job by Jacksonville State Attorney Skip Jarvis for speaking at a tax rally and offering her opinion on the health care reform bill at her local radio station. KrisAnn, a constitutional attorney, wife, and mother of two, dared to question the constitutionality of the presidents health reform bill and paid a steep price. According to Mrs. Hall.... "At the end of January I was asked by the Chairman of the Suwannee REC to help review a Constitutional primer he was to give to voters in Dowling Park, Florida due to my background with a Constitutional Law firm in Seminole, Florida. I was then asked by the Suwannee County Republican Executive Committee to give a presentation of my own on the Constitution. I gave a presentation on Originalism. The presentation was well-received and multiple invitations came in from various groups. I also taught the Constitution in the public school through Florida Supreme Court Justice Fred Lewis’ “Justice Teaching” program. After giving many presentations over a period of four months, I received an invitation to speak on Constitutional issues at a tax day rally. It was the speech at this gathering and an appearance on WJTK that apparently invoked the wrath of my employer, Sate Attorney “Skip” Jarvis." What happened to KrisAnn's First Amendment rights? Could you get fired for merely offering your opinion? Where does this madness end? Please join us at the Salt Springs Civic Association, on Nov, 16th at 7:00 pm, to welcome KrisAnn, and hear her unbelievable story. If you would like to see more information on KrisAnn, and watch her interview with Neil Cavuto, please visit her website _Here_ (http://www.krisannehall.com/) . We will be offering light refreshments and any donations received will support our cause. A single voice can easily be lost in the house of government, but as a group we can echo and bring down the walls. Thank you and God bless America.

11/01/10 ~ TOMORROW, TOMORROW.................... THE BIG DAY!!!! We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Ah, remember those words???? Well, guess what WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, we can choose our candidates and make our own changes but we have to do it together. Get out and VOTE, YOUR VOTE does count. Each individual is as important as the next.............. and as important as anyone in Washington or Tallahassee!!!! Please remember MIKE YOST for US House, Dist 3. He visited with salt springs last Friday night........ a man of character, a working man and someone who would represent us well in washington unlike corrine brown, who has served all the time she needs to pad her bank account and that of her family. look it up. yes, it would be a good change, give him a chance Amendments............. well, I'm putting it together as I question and listen and here's what I have NO NO NO on Amendment 4, 5, 6 and 8.... yes yes yes on Amendment 1 and 2. Locally, I can just say that Kathy Bryant was here to speak with us. Co. Commissioner Dist. 2. Carl Zalak and Barbara Fitos were here also. Fitos is present Commissioner........ Zalak had a lot of good things to say. Of course, it's everyone's God given right to select and vote, that's why our Country is the Greatest. It would be a wonderful thing for Salt Springs to make their mark in this election and it can be done. I remember the Salt Springs votes were the very ones that upseated the last Co. Comm. who made demeaning remarks about us, ha!!! I am a registered Democrat but can assure you my ticket won't reflect it this time, nor last time!!! Good luck to all and may our best men and women win!!! mojo and it's my birthday tomorrow too. Hope I get my wishes!!!!

07/02/10 ~ Bubblin' RED, WHITE, AND BLUE ...all through Salt Springs! WOW, LOTS-n-LOTS OF INFO FOR THE WEEKEND AND UPCOMING TIMES TOO!!! Jesse is HOME, yes at his place right here in Salt Springs Village and doing well, of course we knew he would. Has a lot of recoup time and healing ahead but everything went well and he's on top of the world again, like he stays!! Great going Jesse. It was a really invasive, large incision, serious surgery and he will be at home tending to himself for a while. Let him know ya love 'em!!! Still sending those prayers for complete recovery too and we will see him dancing again. Joanne Crawford from the "v" has a grandaughter in Afghanistan. The Ladie's Aux. has been so good to gather and send things over to our troops, the guys and gals we adore and honor. Joanne asked what we could do for her and members of her squadron........... guess what, simple!!! LETTERS, POSTCARDS, MAIL, CARDS............. Some messages from US!!! Read letter below from Ladie's.................. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! The Ladies Auxiliary to the VFW Post 10208 in Salt Springs has been supplying goodies and needed supplies to troops in Afghanistan this past year. We now have a second member with a grandchild over there and her platoon is requesting letters from home. Many troops do not have family at home or for other reasons no contact from home. Many just want to hear what is going on in your life - and life back home here in the states - and most importantly they would like to hear and know they have our support. We are asking everyone to take a few minutes and sit down and write a letter to a troop. Letters can be dropped off at the Post and we will mail them in bulk to Afghanistan. And speaking of the BEST, WOW, the VFW is taking on new look per Rosie, tables moved around OH NO, whatever will we do finding our assigned seats NOW!!! Hey, she'll find it for us and it really looks good. Had great party for Glenda on Monday and YOU did it again, kept the SURPRISE!!!! She'll still be with us on the FUN SIDE!!!!! Wayne, our new Commander, took notice of our Wii bowling skills, ha, not mine!!! Anyway, now the "v" has a Wii, hmm that rhymes, bet Joe could put some words to that!!! Last night with Pizza everyone took advantage of some extra playing time!!! FIREWORKS IN SS, OH YES, THERE WILL BE!!!! FIRESWORKS ON SAT ON LAKE KERR, BIG AND LITTLE LAKE KERR. ELITE WILL ALSO BE SETTING THEIRS OFF. THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF THINGS GOING ON IN THERE. THE "REC CLUB GANG" HAS PUT TOGETHER QUITE A BANG FOR ALL THREE DAYS!! DON'T MISS IT!! TOMORROW, CACTUS JACK'S HOT AS A FIRECRACKER COOKOUT, APPETIZERS AT NOONISH AND BIG EATS AROUND 4 OR 5. MUSIC, FUN, FRIENDS............ NOTHING BETTER!!!! SWING DOWN THERE AND VISIT THE GIRLS AND LYNN, CACTUS LYNN THAT IS!!!! RUSTY EMAILED THAT DEANNE IS HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND IS OUT OF STATE. WENT TO SEE HER AILING DAD AND SHE GOT SICK, LOOKING AT SURGERY NOW. THE CONSIGNMENT SHOP BY ICEHOUSE, TREASURE CHEST, WILL BE OPEN WHEN THE AMERICAN FLAG IS FLYING, I LIKE THAT. RUSTY'S TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH IT ALL. THINKING OF YOU GUY AND SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT DEANNE, SENDING THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HER WAY!!! NEED A BOAT, A BASSTRACKER AT THAT, HERE'S A DEAL. DAVID BURKHALTER, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY, HAS 2006, 17'4", 60 hp Mercury, 4 stroke with tracker marine for sale................ 352-427-0607 $7,800. If you receive the Ladies Auxiliary magazine, July issue, there is an article about OUR POST, yep Salt Springs, Fl, it says!!! They "flew" a 90 yr. old retired woman pilot, yes, woman on the ride of her life!!! Joanne and Loretta put it together for her when she couldn't make it to Washington to receive a Congressional Gold Medal for her duties as a WASP during World War II...she just wanted to "fly" again and they did it!!! Mary Gates and Jaye Beeler also were there to watch!!! Why in the world, 90 yrs. ago, would a woman become a pilot??? "It was war, and it was our country.......... every woman got busy to see what she could do".......... banners and kudos to Marguerite Bernhardt from Ocala. OK OK, so much to do is such little time........... get out there and do something. Be aware of warm water temps and shallow places with children, being advised by Health Dept. to use earplugs and not putting heads under water in those conditions!!! EVERYBODY HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY AND FUN FOURTH OF JULY............... mojo, only in America!!!
