Jury takes less than30 minutes to reach verdict on convicted felon


Macclenny, Florida 500


Convicted in pawn


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
One of two men accused in the foiled armed
robbery of a Macclenny pawn shop one year
ago was sentenced to a second 15-year prison
term by Circuit Judge David
Glant.
A Baker County jury after a
one-day trial Thursday found
Glen Schofield of Jacksonville
guilty of possession of a firearm
by a convicted felon.
Jurors deliberated less than
half an hour before reaching a bi o
verdict, and the judge sentenced
him afterward. .. ,.
The defendant must serve his
sentence consecutively to the one
imposed after another jury in Oc-
tober found him guilty of attempt-
ed armed robbery of Duval Gun
and Pawn on West Macclenny
Avenue.
Under state sentencing guide-
lines, he will have to serve at least .....
24 years before being eligible for ,
parole, according to court offi-
cials.
Mr. Schofield has an extensive Glen
criminal record, including a con-
viction for homicide.
His alleged accomplice in the failed robbery
attempt, Samuel Williams, is on the March trial
docket.
Mr. Schofield walked into the pawn shop

Attention all you scanner freaks
out there in radio land!
Starting in a few weeks, you'll
have to find another way to while
away the hours, at least if you're
not willing to spring for an expen-
sive new radio monitor.
That's because the Baker Coun-
ty Sheriff's Office and other emer-
gency agencies are switching over
to the "800 system" (for 800 mega-
hertz) from the time-honored VHF-
all part of inclusion into a statewide
emergency communication system.
That means scanners will not be
able to pick up radio-to-radio con-

around 1:30 pm February 23 and asked to see a
knife.
Owner Bruce Sale Jr., who said he was on
the phone with his brother-in-law, handed the
knife to Mr. Schofield, who pulled a .22 caliber
magnum revolver.
He pointed it at Mr. Sale and
handed him a green pillow case,
telling him to put it on his head
and get down on his knees.
"I thought it was joke... I was
scared. I was confused," he tes-
tified Thursday morning.,
Mr. Sale said he told Mr.
Schofield more than once to
"Get out of here!"
He testified that Mr.
Schofield kept trying to shoot
him, but that the gun didn't fire.
S"He realized the gun wasn't
going off, so he cocked it," Mr.
Sale said. "I realized I was
probably a dead man, so I start-
ed fighting back."
He grabbed for Mr.
-',- Schofield's wrist and they
.,-'.'.. struggled. The gun went off,
discharging a bullet into the
ceiling and startling the men,
hofield who each recoiled.
Mr. Sale grabbed his Glock .40
caliber gun and fired three shots at Mr.
Schofield as he fled the store and headed west
on Macclenny Ave.
The hollow-point bullets hit a seven-foot


iop holdup

high display case that Mr. Schofield had walked
behind, blowing big holes in it, but disintegrat-
ing on contact.
Mr. Sale briefly gave chase outside, but fired
no more shots. "I wanted to see where he was
going so I could tell police."
: Mr. Schofield ran past the veterinary office
adjacent to the pawn shop, then disappeared be-
yond a nearby car wash.
Police called in tracking dogs from Baker
Correctional, but lost the trail in the YMCA
parking lot several blocks south of the robbery
scene.
Meanwhile, according to police, Mr.
Williams was walking toward the parwn shop.
He'd called earlier about picking up some items
he'd pawned.
After speaking with police, he went to his
car, which was parked a couple blocks away at
a gas station.
He later returned, confronting officers about
allegedly taking money from him when they in-
terviewed him. He then left the scene. He was
picked up later and charged as an accessory.
Around 9:30 pm, an anonymous caller told
police about a suspicious man loitering near the
NAPA auto parts store store at the corner of
Macclenny Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr.
Drive.
Mr. Schofield was apprehended after a brief
chase. Police found his gun lying nearby.,
At first he denied trying to rob the pawn
shop, but faced with a positive identification by
Mr. Sale, he admitted involvement.

versation as in the past, with the
exception of pager calls to fire and
rescue.
For those people who consider a
scanner as much a part of their
existence as toothbrushes and tele-
visions, it's a big change.
For police and fire, it's a more
efficient system that eliminates
garbled communications with offi-
cers in far-flung areas of Baker
County like Baxter and the Os-
ceola National Forest.
"The changeover is part of a


state law enforcement radio sys-
tem," said Chief Gerald Gonzalez
earlier this week.
"It enhances everyone's ability
to talk to each other That all
became more important with the
hurricanes and 9/11, and that's
what is driving a lot of these
changes.
Technicians this week were
installing a 911 emergency up-
grade at the Emergency Operations
Center in west Macclenny where
all the dispatching is done.


It's not related to the upcoming
radio upgrades, except via the tim-
ing, and modernizes the five-year-
old system to track calls from cel-
lular phones, for instance.
It also has the TDD capability
for deaf persons and other new
technology. According to Emer-
gency Services Director Rick
Clark, the $266,000 price will be
paid with federal dollars coming
through the state.

Couple jailed for 'random'abuse

of three children and step-children


A Macclenny
couple is charg-
ed with child
abuse and cruel-
ty toward chil-
dren for alleged
spankings and
beatings the
youngsters said
were often ran-
dom and unpro-
voked.


,tate Deputy Sheriff
Ctate Ben Anderson said he was called
nning to a residence off Woodlawn Road
the afternoon of February 25 to
investigate a report that Tiffany
Frazier, 31, was beating her step-
PAGE 5 son with a wooden paddle.
He found evidence of the beat-
II ing when he interviewed the 16-
year-old and his father, David Fra-
zier, 39, at their residence off near-
by Ivey Hodges Road.
1 9 8 According to the stepson, the


David and Tiffany Frazier
step-mother beat him on the but-
tocks when she found him at the
residence of a friend. The deputy
saved the broken paddle as evi-
'dence.
The boy also said beatings were
routine and often at random,
adding both his step-brother, 10,
and an 18-month-old step-sister
were victims as well.
The middle child told police his
father, Who is 5'11" and weighs
230 pounds, punched him in the


stomach twice earlier that after-
noon when the boy flinched as the
father walked by him while he was
cooking.
The older son said both parents
also frequently spanked the sister,
and the deputy noted a statement
by the middle child "that he was
glad to have the Sheriff's Office on
the scene due to the ongoing
abuse."
The mother told Deputy An-
derson she is on crack cocaine and
unable to explain why she went to
the nearby house to administer the
beating.
The children were placed in the
custody of a grandmother and an
investigator with the Department
of Children and Families was
assigned to the case.
The couple remains in county
jail early this week under $10,000
bond each.

A representative of Chicago-
based Walgreens said the food and
drugstore giant is coming to Mac-
clenny and expects to be open for
business later this year.
John Kiddy of Southeastern
Property Inv estors said "we got the
go-ahead, they're going to do it."
Southeastern, which is part of
Sleiman Enterprises in Jack-

find suitable locations for new
stores.
The proposed store will be built

The Macclenny store is among
475 new stores that Walgreens
plans to build in 2006.
The next step in the process will
be rezoning the property from gov-

Macclenny cit\ commissioners
will have the first reading of the re-
zoning at their March 14 meeting.
Sale of the property is good
news for the Baker County Coun-
cil on Aging.
County officials have promised
that proceeds will be used to build
a new COA facility.

East Macclenny Avenue, is dilapi-

'Bye-Bye' scanners...


(From page one)
The technicians this week were
also installing another emergency
dispatch center just feet away from
the two recently upgraded ones
that are manned around the clock.
It will enable a supervisor to
have access .to the same, equipment
in times of hear\ radio traffic, like
during a hurricane or other disas-
ter, and allows room for growth as
the number of calls daily increases
with Baker County's population. .
As for the "800" system, the
county is funding that through sev-
eral avenues, most notably the
$12.50 surcharge on-traffic and
other citations written by county
deputies.
The surcharge is expected to
fund $100,000 of the cost, about
equal to what the county will have
to borrow long-term. Another third
will come from emergency man:-
agement funds through the county.
"We decided to 'piggyback'
with the state'on the new system,"
explained Sheriff Joey Dobson.
"Some other counties opted to
go it alone, like Nassau County,
but the cost if we set up our own
towers and equipment would be
prohibitive."
The new system will beam
"I L'


throughh an existing emergency
communications tower in north
Baker County, resulting in clear
transmission.
The need for constant repeat-
and clarification from far-away
locations has been frustrating both
for dispatchers and officers, and
potentially dangerous. ,
As for the home and. portable
scanners so loved by the public,
it's a safe bet that. someone will hit
the market quickly with units able
to pick up the new system.
They will have to be able to
,unscramble the frequency. to clari-
fy actual voices, according to Lt.
Gonzalez. Other units said to cost
much more than traditional scan-
ners and resembling portable,
hand-held police radios should be
available in the near future.
They are the same as units
issued to police, but there is not
means to transmit. ) '
The public is also aware that a
good deal of police chatter now
takes place on cell phones issued
to officers in the field.
In fact, as one county deputy
put it recently: "There's nothing
much on the scanners anymore; all
the juicy stuff goes over the
phones."

MY SIDE OF




I stopped at a gas station in
Georgia last week on my way back
from Atlanta in the pouring rain. It
was about 28 degrees outside and
the cover over the gas pump stop-
ped about three feet too short.
As a result, I was getting soak-
ing wet. As I cranked the heater up
to Mojave Desert, I asked myself
about one of life's little mysteries.
Where are full service gas stations?
I know the answer to this ques-
tion, of course. Full service gas sta-
tions are about as hard to find as a
Brontosaurus or an SUV that gets
more than 20 miles per gallon.
Some people reading this might not
have even heard the concept of full
service.
When I was a kid, every time
that you stopped at a gas station,
some guy in a uniform and a cap
rushed out of the office to gas your
' car. While he was doing this, an-
'other guy washed your windshield,
checked your oil-and the pressure
in your tires. Rain or shine.
Hard to imagine, isn't it? There
were some service stations that
even vacuumed out your car while
you waited. Almost every station
had a mechanic on duty.
Come to think of it, I know
where to find a Brontosaurus skele-
ton the Field Museum in Chica-
go. I don't have a clue where to
find a full service gas station.
When stations stopped offering
full service they claimed it would
Shelp keep down rising gas prices.
That was back around the time
when gas went for about 29 cents a
gallon.
Worked pretty well. didn't it?
Nowadays, you can't get some-
one to pump gas for you and you're
lucky if you can get them to stop
,talking to their girlfriend on the cell
phone long enough to ring up your
gas and soft drink. It's a shame, but
also just a symptom of the lack of
;service in our service economy.
As I continued driving that day, I
thought about other stuff that you
don't see any more. When my
grandfather was my age he was a
milk man. He delivered fresh milk,
eggs, cream, buttermilk and choco-
late milk in glass bottles. He had a
schedule and had the deliveries on
'the front porch every morning be-
fore breakfast.
In our neighborhood, kids wait-
ed impatiently on their front porch-
es in the afternoon for the sound of
the ice cream truck. The recogniz-
able calliope was like the pied
piper and when we heard it coming
we ran inside and fished our quar-
ters and dimes out of our piggy
banks for a Fudgesicle or a Good
Humor Bar.
No longer.
When I was very young, my sis-
ter got really sick with scarlet fever.
She had a temperature of close to
105 and my mom had to give her
cold baths to bring it down. Then
there was a knock on the door and
everyone breathed a sigh. of relief
because we knew the doctor had ar-
rived for a house call.
Talk about a thing of the past.
The house call is a good 25 years
down the pike. The doctor showed
up at the house with his black bag
containing his instruments and he
checked my sister and called in a
prescription from our house phone.
A couple of hours later the delivery
truck from the pharmacy arrived


with the penicillin she needed to
get better.
Doctors are quick to tell \ou that
they are overworked and have
more sensitive and sophisticated
equipment in their offices and thus
can do a much better job of diagno-
sis from there. I'm not doubting
that, but when your kid is sick with
scarlet fever and you live in Buffa-
lo, New York, it's nice to know that
you don't have to take her out into
a blizzard with ten degree tempera-
tures.
Those are just a few of the
things that used to be a vital part of
American life that we don't have
around any more.

Speeders

'typical' on


stretch of


Barber Rd.
Dear Editor:
It's Monday night, February 27,
and a very typical day on Barber
Road in MacclennN.
It's typical because we have to
put up with speeding cars and
trucks going over 50 mph in a 30
mph zone day after day.
Tonight is a little different be-
cause the speeding auto did not
make it past the curve and slam-
med into a power pole. Thank
goodness the driver was not hurt.
The reality is the car was head-
ing for a house w here a person
was sleeping. The pole was in his
way and stopped the driver from
hitting the house.
This is not the first time this has
happened. A few months ago. an-
other driver hit a pole near the one
hit this week, and late last \ear a
driver actually went into the
house-.
There have been numerous
times when yards have been dam-
aged by people going so fast they
lose control and go through yards.
Mailboxes have been torn down
by trucks going through the area.
one going so fast around a curve
that two children were thrown
from the rear of the truck. They
thought it was funny because no
one %%as hurt.
This has to stop now. There are
signs on Barber Road alerting mo-
torists that we have a blind child in
the area.
Another person who lives here
is afraid to go out into his yard be-
cause of the speeding vehicles.
We need some help from.local
law enforcement to stop speeding
and reckless driving before some-
one is killed.

Youths are Several arrests for marijuana possession


implicated



The sheriff's department arrest-
ed a 15-year-old Glen St. Mary
youth and issued a warrant for a
17-year-old alleged accomplice in
the theft of saws and other items:
from a locked shed off Aunt Mary
Harvey Road on February 21.
A witness who lives near the
residence of victim James Corby
told police he saw two white males
on a black Honda 4-wheeler in the
area, and police canvassing the
neighborhood spotted the vehicle
at a Stoddard Ave. address.
They questioned the younger,
suspect and he admitted involve-
ment in the theft of two chain
saws, a skill saw, gas can, drill and
stereo from the shed.
The youths used a bolt cutter to
gain entry, and left the tool near
the shed.
The boy identified his accom-
plice and Investigator Steve Har-
vey served a warrant at his address
across the Georgia state line.
There he recovered most of the
stolen property. Its value was
placed at nearly $500.
In other theft reports, the man-
ager of the Macclenny Waffle
House reported on February 24 the
night receipts came up $97 short.
Police questioned three shift
employees and all denied know-
ledge of the missing funds.
An employee at the Macclenny
Burger King reported February 23
a customer made off with a collec-
tion jar on the counter containing.
donations for a cancer victim.
Police have a surveillance tape
and a tentative identification of the
man.

Husband is

charged with

beating wife

Police arrested a husband for
domestic violence after he alleged-
ly came home drunk and attacked
his wife because she refused to get
him cigarettes.
April Bryan,,31, said Kevin
Bryan, 31, returned to their home
off Shave's Bluff Road about 5:00
am on February 25, and during an
argument he allegedly choked her
and pulled her by the hair to the
floor of their bedroom.
The husband then picked up their
4-year-old daughter in a threatening
way, according to Ms. Bryant, but
placed her back in bed after she
pleaded for him to leave her alone.
Police made the arrest after
finding physical evidence that Ms.
Bryan had been choked and drag-
ged.
Shelly Shumate, 26, called
police the morning of February 22
with a similar complaint, but her
boyfriend was not arrested because
police could not find any physical
evidence that she was choked and
slapped.
The state attorney's office will
decide whether to prosecute Curtis
Myers, 43, of Sanderson, who de-
nied the allegation. The call was
.made from the couple's residence
off CR 127 north of Sanderson.
Another domestic violence
complaint was made February 20
by Rebecca Yonn, 31, who alleged
ex-husband Erik Yonn, 32, pushed
her during an argument at her resi-
dence off SR 121S.

County deputies arrested several
persons for misdemeanor marijuana
possession recently, including a trio
of Jacksonville youths who drove
to a Macclenny convenience store
to retrieve a cell phone.
Clerk Anthony Boykin of Glen
St. Mary called police to the S&S
store on South 6th in Macclenny in
the early hours of February 26
after he received a threatening call
on a phone that had been left at the
store earlier by an unidentified
male.
The caller said he was driving
to the store from Orange Park, and
police were waiting, nearby when
the caller, identified as Bryan
Wooley, 18, of Orange Park ar-
rived in a 1998 Chevrolet.
Deputy James Parham said Mr.
Woole\. who was driving, and pas-
sengers Jon Scherrill, 19, of Jack-
sonville, and a 17-year-old from.
Orange Park all smelled of alco-
hol. They admitted to drinking ear-
lier that evening.
A search turned up a plastic bag
of marijuana on the juvenile, and a,
later search of their vehicle yielded
a small amount of pot in a plastic
pill bottle and a near-empty bottle
of rum.
All were charged with underage
possession of alcohol and misde-
meanor possession of pot.
Robert Porterfield, 27, of Glen
St. Mary \was arrested for misde-
meanor possession after Deput\
James Stalnaker found a small
amount in his 1992 Chevrolet
pickup the evening of February 21.
The suspect was stopped near
CR 229 and Tony Givens Road
north of Sanderson for having
fault) lights on the vehicle, .
The officer, on routine patrol in
an area known for frequent drug
activity, said he detected a strong
smell of marijuana smoke when he
questioned the driver.
Deputy Stalnaker noted in his
report he stopped Mr. Porterfield
earlier this month and warned him
about possessing unspecified drug
paraphernalia.
A tip from a passerby in north-
west Macclenny in the early morn-
ing hours of February 24 resulted
in the arrest of Micah Morrison,
2-3. of Macclenny -for possessmig.a---.
smnall amount f.o, t .anjgljt pJis.; .


for which he did not have a pre-
scription.
Mr. Morrison was allegedly try-
ing to evade Deputy Darrin Whi-
taker near Lowder and Ohio Sts.
about 4:20 am, and when ques-
tioned said he was visiting a fe-'
male acquaintance in the area.


The drugs were found after he
consented to a body search. The
female he named told the deputy
Mr. Morrison had been knocking
on her windows and was not wel-
come at her residence.
He was also charged with loi-'
tering and prowling.

Bikers ride

in memory

of fallen

comrade
Route Hawg club

SBY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
On a recent Sunday morning
more than a dozen motorcycles
pulled into the parking lot of Bay-
less Highway Baptist Church on,
CR 225 near the town of Starke.
When the roaring engines of
Harley Davidson Night Trains,
Road Kings, Classics, Ultra Clas-
sics and a Honda Goldwing be-
came silent, the riders dismounted,
removing their helmets and face
, guards. Chrome glinted and
gleamed in the sunlight. .
Even though the morning ser-
xice had begun, several curious
members of the congregation
stepped out onto the church's
'porch to watch as the group of bik-
ers walked past. Solemn and sub-
dued, the leather-wearing riders
spoke in quiet tones as they made
their way to one of their destina-
tions the intersection of CR225
and NW 188th.
At this 'er6 spot, a quiet setting
where an unassuming dirt road
ends at a paved highway, one of
their group, Gene Pollard. lost his
life a few weeks before when the
driver of a truck failed to see him
bringing up the rear and pulled di-
rectly into his path.
These bikers are members of
The Route Hawgs, a local motor-
cycle club based in lMacclenn\.
w ith a chapter in Jacksonville. The
Route Hawigs' central meeting
place is The Haw g Rider Store, a
motorcycle supply store owned
and managed by Dennis Schmnitz
and his partner Calvin \\ork on
Hwy 90 west of Glen St. Mlar\.
Organized rides, for pleasure or
to raise money, for a worth\ cause,
are common activities-for the,-.
Route Hawgs. But this ride, orga-
nized by Mr. Schmitz, was differ-
erit.
The Hawgs v. ere riding that day
to pay their respects to the memo-
ry of friends lost to accident and
illness. .
One by one, as thc\ stood at the-
intersection, the Hawgs gate per-
sonal accounts about the accident:
what they saw, heard and felt that
fateful day. There were some tears,
and iihanN struggled to find the
words to express their feelings.
But ultimately a few grins crossed.
th-ir faces as they remembered
their friend Gene, and his special.
personalitY.
'You know Gene," one of the
bikers said, "If he's watching right
.,now he'd probably say 'what in,
,the world are you idiots,doing?
Get back on the road and go have
some fun.'" '
The bikers shook their heads
and laughed quietly .
Then it was back'to the, road.
The Hawgs continued on past
open pastures ringed with moss
covered trees where cattle grazed
lazily in the early morning sun.
Along the way, stops were made at
cemeteries where their comrades
had been laid to rest.
A group of leather-clad bikers
gathered in a cemetery is not an
everyday sight. It's a humbling ex-
perience to see a big,, tough,
leather-jacketed biker kneeling be-
side a grave, head bowed, hand
resting on a grave marker, saying a
prayer for a fallen friend. And
many prayers were said on this
day for fellow riders who have
gone on to that Big Highway in
the Sky.
Motorcycle riders have special
ways of communicating with each
other. When riders pass on the
highway they give each other a
low, relaxed, open-handed wave to
the side, which signifies acknowl-


edgement and respect,
When the Hawgs passed the
homes of their deceased friends,
they "rapped the pipes," a biker's
way of saying hello, letting the
family members inside know they
were near.
Rapping the pipes involves
rolling into throttle by pulling in
the clutch and revving the bike's
engine, creating the roar so often
heard but seldom understood by
pedestrians and motorists.
Later, during a stop at The Slab,
a favorite watering hole, some of
the members talked about their

love of riding.
"We're a brotherhood and a
family and most folks just don't
understand that about people who
ride bikes," declared Dale Leggett,
the group's elected chaplain, w ho
earlier that morning at The Hav\g
Rider Shop lead the group in a
prayer for safety before they began
their memorial ride.
"Couldn't be more true." agreed
John End, an aircraft mechanic
%ho often rides with the Hawgs.
"W\e're not just a bunch of irre-
sponsible guys that get drunk.
scream and holler, knock holes in
the walls and ha'e no considera-
tion for other folks,. infortunatelh.
as in an\ organization, there are
some bad apples out there that do
that sort of thing and they ruin it
fore\ er\bod\ else."
"Some of us don't e\en drink
alcohol," said Big Dan Harrison, a
tall man with the physique of a
lumberjack who looks like he
could pick up the rear .end of a'
truck %k ith his little finger.
Harrison sits an empty\ Coke
can on the bar and calls for anoth-
er. He pops the top.
"If somebody is out having.a
..good time and drinks too much.
which happen sometimes, they
call one of us and somebody will
go pick them up aind take them
home." '"
"People' expect all bikers to
have a.bunch of tattoo a," said End.
"Know. how many I have?.Not a
one."
The Route Hawgs are riot what
some people might expect. In-,
man\ ways they defy the stereo-
types normally associated with the
biker image. The grantn, rowdy,
beer-sw killing, brawl, ling, disre-7
spectful, tear-the-place-up behav-
ior typical\ associated with bikers
is becoming a thing of the past as
more and more regular folks from.
.he mainstream take up riding for
recreation.

The Hawgs are extremely\ safe-
tY minded and responsible behav-
ior is expected of all members dur-
ing a group ride as well as when
they ride independently.
"Belie e me," sa\ s Schmitz. "if
one of our group is out there act-
ing up on the road and it gets back
to us, that person hears about it
and good. We don't put up with
that. One persori's careless behav-
ior can ha\e a negative effect for
the %\hole group."
The Route Hages strongly. ad-
vocate safety\ and are particularly\
safets-minded since the death of
their friend. The motorcycle orga-
nization's mission is to promote
high'.'. aj awareness and safety ca-
maraderie among its members and
participation in local charities.
SE\cr), )ear at Christmas wee
hold a ride for To\ s for Tots,' sai s
Ron Mallet, another member of
the Route H:tiwgs. "We ride in the '
Lighted Christmas Parade and
raise money\ anddonate toys." \
"Yep, we're very civic mind-
ed," End agrees. "E er) year we
sponsor a child at summer camp
and we have a food concession
booth at the annual Olustee Battle,
-i Reenacnimnt. The proceeds go to |
a ch aity. We hij\e lots of different


kinds of rides,. like the Sweetheart
Ride for w ives and girlfriends. We
take the ladies along and ma\be go
to a nice place like Sax'annah for
the day and eat in a good restau-
rant. It's great fun and it's quality
time on the bikes."
Before the\ depart The Slab.
the Hawgs leae behind a person-
alized dollar bill. It's long been a
custom among patrons to \% rite
their names and the date of their
visit on a dollar bill and tape it to
the \wall. Gene couldn't be there to
do it himself, but now, somewhere
on the %\all, among hundreds of
others, is a dollar bill in his memo-'
Try '
"He's still w% ith us in spirit." the
Route Haw.gs sa. "So re the\ all.
,Out there on the open road, our
friends still ride with us."- '

Seniors gathered at the Center on
Saturday morning to join up % ith
the Baker County Health Depart-
ment "Step Up Florida" walk. An
extended delay for the walk to the
Court House didn't bother these
folks one bit. They managed to get
in three dart tournaments and a lot
of good natured ribbing while they
waited. The entire group (except
Amy) made it to the Court House
and had a great time in spite of the
sprinkles. The only thing missing
was breakfast!
Although no one wants to- plan
on having a catastrophic illness 'or
accident, there are many questions
everyone should answer before the
need for answers actually arises.
What would happen to your
spouse or your affairs and posses-
sions if an accident or illness sent
you to a nursing home for an
extended length of time? What
would happen if you were declared
unable to make decisions concern-
ing your own care or other personal
or business affairs?
All Baker County residents,
young or old, are urged to attend the
Council on Aging's "Family Sup-
port for Health and Financial Aware-
ness" workshop on March 21, for
help in finding answers to these and
many other questions. The work-
shop will be an evening event, to
accommodate those who work out-
side the home.
Registration and vendor booths
will be open early and there will be
entertainment, refreshments, free
health screenifigs, door prizes and a
lot of very useful information for all
attendees.

Wildcats shrug of


tough loss to beat


Panthers in disbict


help make


Oly mpics


endearing

The Winter Ol mpics are over
and that fact will be met with
mixed reviews depending on who
you are and whether you enjoy
this display of winter sports. Per-
sonally, I enjoy the Olympics but
other folks are vocal opponents of
the winter showcase. -
Bryant Gumbel of HBO's Real
Sports went on a tear at the end of
this week's program. "I for one
don't watch the Winter
Oly mpics," he said. "Why should
I watch a sport that people only
care about for three %weeks every
four years?"
He's got a point, of course.
Not.many people in the United
States really give a rip about curl-
ing unless they live on the Cana-
dian border. The skeleton, the
biathalon where skiers stop and
shoot at targets the luge and the
half pipe are certainly not sports
that are household names.

Part of the charm
of the Olympic
Games is that they
dofocus on events
we don't normally
Ssee, and in the
process, hopefidl
make us fans.

Even so, part of the charm of
the Olympic Games is that the\
do focus on events we don't nor-
mally see, and in the process,
hopefully make us fans. There are.
plenty of Summer Olympic sports
that fall into that category.
The hammer throw, the eight-
man scull, .synchronized swim-
ming, water polo, the steeple
chase these, too, aren't games
that are wildly popular in most
households. Still, With a few ex-,
ceptions, I watch them religiousl.
The reason, I suppose, is that
some of these sports and some of
the athletes are really appealing.
and before long, I'm hooked. M)
son, Spencer (and I would come
home from school and tune in to
curling. If you've not seen curl-
ing, think shuffleboard/chess/pool
on ice. The U.S. won its first curl-
ing medal a bronze at Torino.
I also was hooked on half-pipe.
Americans dominated this sport,
which featured teens who looked
more at home on a, skateboard,
doing amazing tricks in the air
above the ice and snow. It was
very exciting.
I'm not one of those people
who love figure skating, but this
year's competition was riveting.
The competition between Sasha
Cohen and Irina Slutskaya for the
gold was interrupted by falls in
triple jumps and a flawless Japan-
ese competitor who showed the
world how it was done.
But perhaps my favorite of the
figure skaters was 16-year-old
Emily Hughes, whose sister Sarah
won the gold in 2002 over Slut-
skaya. She wasn't even supposed
to be there in Italy. She was the
alternate and only got a chance to
perform when Michelle Kwan
withdrew with an injury.
Hughes skated a flawless short
program and the look on her face
made the Olympics for me. She
fell during the long program, like
so many others, but her joy at just
being able to compete was what
,the Olympics are about.
I would love to go to Vancou-
ver in 2010. I was in Atlanta in
1996 and it was something I'll
never forget. I love the Olympics,


funky -little sports and all.

Bradford County scored two
runs in the top of the seventh in-
ning to steal a win from the Lady
Wildcats, who wasted Jessi
Nunn's perfect day at the plate
and Tiffany Smith's solid perfor-
mance on the mound.
The 3-2 loss drops the Cats'
record to 1-5 (0-1 in district play).
The game was played February
24 at the Baker High field.
The girls were rained out of
their other scheduled game last
week, a February 23 ,game at
Middleburg.
The Cats twice led against the
Tornadoes, scoring a run in the
second on an RBI single by Nunn.
Shannon Nickles drew a one-
out walk, took second on a wild
pitch, then came home on Nunn's
hit.
That run stood up until the
sixth when Bradford tied the
game with an unearned run.
With one out, Smith gave up a
walk and a single to put runners at
first and second, but got the next
batter on strikes for the second
out.
The Cats then committed the
fourth of sixth errors in the game,


nents to a batting average of .212.
After the Tornadoes/tied the
game in the top of the sixth, the
Cats retook the lead in the bottom
of the inning.
With two outs, Nickles singled
and took second on a passed ball.
Nunn again delivered with an RBI
single.
The sophomore second-sacker
went three for three and drove in
both the Cats' runs. The perfor-
mance nearly tripled her batting
average for the season, boosting
her to third place on the team with
a .250 average.
Taking a 2-1 lead into the sev-
enth, Smith gave up a lead-off
single.
An error put runners at first and
second, but the Cats got a force
out at third.
Smith, a freshman, then got the
second out on a line drive, but
gave up a single that tied the
game.
The winning run scored on yet
another error.
The Cats went three up and
three down in the bottom of the
seventh.,
The girls are next scheduled to
play March 2 at Santa Fe and
March 3 at Suwannee County.
Their next home game is March 7
against First Coast.

After opening, the season with
five straight wins, the Wildcats
baseball team suffered a frustrat-

ruary 21. but bounced back to
pick up an important district win
three days later.
A home game scheduled for
February 23 against Bradford
County was rained out.
In Lake City, the Cats led 6-5
going into the seventh inning, but
the Tigers scored a pair to take the
game.
