Admitted to buying

A Baker County Middle School
math teacher resigned on Monday
of this week, five days after he was
arrested in west MacclennN for fel-
ony drug possession.
Steven Paul Crews, 27, of Lake
City did not return to his seventh
grade class-
room after the
arrest and was

Steven Crews Crews' black
Toyota Camry about 2:30 pm on
March 8 on eastboundd Lowder St.
when it failed to stop while pulling
out from Quail Lane.
He stopped Mr. Crews near the
railroad tracks onwest Lowder,
and said the suspect appeared agi-
taled and nervous and kept looking
back at his vehicle.
HMr. Crews consented to a vehi-
cle search, and Deput% Ruise as-
sisted by Sgt. Thomas Dceal noted
marijuana seeds and residue on the
floor board.
The suspect then pointed the
officers to a cigar box in the front
seat console that contained 20 pills
of the prescription narcotic Soma.
He said the pills belonged to his
wife.
Sgt. Dyal contacted Mrs. Crews,
who said she had run out of her
prescription for the drug and had
."no idea" what her husband would
be doing with the pills.
Investigator David Bryant. said
he monitored Mr. Crews from a
next door office when the suspect
was left alone later in an interview
room at the sheriff's annex.
The teacher took a plastic bag of
marijuana out of his sock and toss-
ed it into a nearby trash can. It was
retrieved minutes later.
Lt. Chuck Brannan said Mr.
Crews admitted to having the
drugs, and said he bought the Soma
from Leo Jefferson in south Mac-
clenny. The pills, he insisted, were
for his wife's medical condition.
He told the investigator that af-
ternoon marked the fourth time he
purchased marijuana from the
source, however, and said the bag
he threw away cost $10.
Mr. Crews said he paid Mr.
Jefferson $15 plus some grocery
items he had in the car for the
drugs.
He has been employed by the
school district since July, 2004 and

Macclenny city commissioners
gave initial approval Tuesday night
for development of the former
Pineview Golf and Country Club.
To be called "Barber Planta-
tion," the development will have up
to 409 residential units on its 137
acres.
Golf View Properties, headed by.
Tommy and Rock Rhoden, applied
for the rezoning. The group pur-
chased the course last summer for
$4.28 million from Macclenny
Mayor Gary Dopson.
With a large but well-mannered
crowd spilling from the commis-
sion chambers into the hallway, the
board approved the first reading of
an ordinance that would rezone the
property from residential to
planned unit development (PUD).

Local attorney appointed new circuit judge


When local attorney) Phyllis Ros-
ier's telephone rang late in the af-
ternoon of March 8, she recognized
the voice on the other end of the
phone.
It was crunch time.
The voice was that of Governor
Jeb Bush, and it was a call Ms. Rosier
had been w waiting on pins and needles
for, well, it seemed like an eternity.
"So, do you want to be a judge?"
the governor asked in a joking man-
ner.
What a question!
With that call. Ms. Rosier, a former
honors law graduate from the Uni-


versity of Florida and former prosecu-
tor who has spent the last 11 years in
private practice, realized she at last
arrived at the spot she's sought more
than once.
"I wonder now how he would have
reacted had I said no...,',' Ms. Rosier
mused early this week.
Considering how hard she sought
the seat of retiring Circuit Judge Elzie
Sanders, another Starke resident, it
was best not to play around with Mr.
Bush's sense of humor.
Or risk the judgeship on the chance
he'd had a bad day in Tallahassee and
was in no mood for jokes other than


his own.
She accepted readily, and some-
time in the next two months Phyllis
Rosier will be sworn in as the Eighth
Circuit's newest jurist.
She'll be on the bench already,
however, as the chief circuit judge
told her last week he's ready for her
to assume both family and civil court
duties in early April.
That's the assignment vacated by
the retirement of Judge Sanders at the
end of February.

Adopting babies from distant lands


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
In November of 2004, Mac-
clenny couple Randall and Renee
Lyons traveled to China to meet
and bring home the child that
would become their daughter.
Children's Hope International, a
non-profit adoption and humanitar-
ian agency which has an organiza-
tion in China, made the Lyons' de-
sire to adopt a reality.
Many people hesitate to consider
adoption as an option to fulfill their
desire to have a child.
They wonder: "Could I possibly
love a child born to another person
and perhaps from a different na-
tionality as much as my own
child?"
If the Lyons family is an exam-
ple, the answer is a resounding yes!
"The entire experience has been
so rewarding," says Ms. Lyons.
"We selected Children's Hope In-
ternational after doing Internet


research on different agencies.
They have been fabulous to work
with and I recommend them to
anyone who might be considering
adopting a child."
Her husband concurs. "We've
pretty much became advocates for
adoption and for this particular
agency.
"We now volunteer as speakers
when CHI holds an information
program in the community. We
want to let people know firsthand
how positive an experience adop-
tion can be."
CHI operates organizations in
China, Russia, Vietnam, Kazakh-
stan and South America.
Families approved for adoption
get to meet each other and travel
together to the designated country.
The Lyons traveled with 35 other
families also going over to bring
home their adopted children. Hav-
ing this commonality is psycholog-
ically beneficial, believes the cou-

ple.
The couples share with and sup-
port each other to ease anxiety.
After applying to the agency, a
social worker visits the home and
prepares a "home study," which is
an evaluation of the home based on
observations and interviews. A
background check is run and con-


sideration is given to the parents'
age, health and financial status.
"They also determine the com-
mitment of the couple," says Ms.
Lyons. "Both parents need to be on
the same page regarding adoption.
It can't be one-sided."
Then the agency begins the pro-

ning consultant, said the developers
could have built about 700 units
under the current zoning.
A PUD offers more flexible and
potential l creative development,
allowing a developer to meet densi-
ty and land use rules without rigid
requirements such as minimum lot
standards and use categories. b.
"A PUD can result in better
communities... better aesthetics."
he told the crowd and the commis-
sioners. "They didn't have to do
it."
Among the advantages promised
under the Barber Plantation PUD
are wider-than-required internal

turn lane for northbound traffic-,
turning into the development on'
Golf Club Road from CR 23A
(Lowder).
The most common concern ex-
pressed by those in attendance -
most of whom apparently live in
Copper Creek, which adjoins the
golf course property was the traf-
fic situation on Lowder Street, es-
pecially in light of other new devel-
opments approved for the area.
Ward Koutnik, president of
Transportation Planners-Engineers
of Jacksonville, said the additional
traffic would still be well within ac-
cepted levels of service.
He did, however, recommend
that the county make safety im-
provements that are needed now on
the road.
Baker County Commission.
chairman Alex Robinson spoke at
the meeting, calling for cooperation
between the city and county in
planning for and implementing
road improvements to handle
growth.
Mayor Dopson told him there is
an interlocal agreement in place,
but it contains no specifics.
School Superintendent Paula
Barton also attended the meeting,

New judge
(From page oife)' ""
mittee, Judge-elect Rosier ad-
mitted she'd be very pleased with
an assignment similar to Judge
Sanders'.
Similar to Circuit Judee David
Glant of High Springs, who han-
dles the criminal bench for Baker'
County, she likes it up in the
northern fringe of the Gainesville-
based Eighth Circuit.
It's never spoken of outside the
inner circle, but some of the'Gaines-
ville jurists are less than enthusias-
tic about taking a Baker County
assignment with its hour or more
commute each way..
The 58-year-old Ms. Rosier
tried unsuccessfully for the
appointment to a newly estab-
lished circuit judgeship, and had
made it known long before that
she, was interested in Judge
Sanders' seat upon retirement.
She was an assistant prosecutor'
in the Third Circuit (Lake City-
Live Oak) for five years starting in
1989.
Ms. Rosier will this week resign
as counsel to the Town of Glen St.
Mary, the school board in Brad-
ford County and Town of Brooker.
* Sharon Coston, longtime judi-
cial assistant to Judge Sanders,
will fill a similar role for the new
appointee.
The appointee will be busy
closing out-her law practice in
coming weeks and is scheduled to
enroll in a phase of judge's school
in Orlando next week.
Mel Bessinger, anf assistant state
attorney in Macclenny, was one of
three other hopefuls who applied
for the judgeship. Others were
Jeffery Fleck, another assistant
prosecutor, and also Steve
Pennypacker, a Gainesville attor-
ney.

cess of matching a child to the par-
ents.
"Whatis interesting is they actu-
ally do try to find a child that
physically resembles the adoptive
parents in some way, if possible,"
noted Ms. L\ons.
Adoption is a legal process and
some of the money involved goes
toward paying legal fees. The fees
involved also cover travel costs
and a donation to the orphanage
where the child has been living.
The money eventually comes back
to the parents in the form of tax
credits.

There will be a four-county

Volunteers should bring rakes and
dipnets, sunscreen and sunglasses,

Don't look for him on billionaire's list'


in Glen translates


to "Do We Camre?'


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Commentary .
On those occasions when I come
to think of our Founding Fathers, I
am in awe. Always have been. Al-
ways will be. Those men were tran-
scendent in their intelligence, pas-
sion and dedication to the, ideals of
humankind,
In considering these consider-*
able men, I wonder: Where are
their modern equivalents?
I mean, imagine a politician now
writing words as stirring and vital
as "We hold these truths to be self-
evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalien-,
able Rights, that among these are
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness."
Don't hold your breath.
Maybe those kind of inspira-
tional leaders are out there some-
where, but one thing for certain is
they're not in Glen St. Mary.
How do I know that?
By the response to-the towns 're-
quest for applicants to fill replace
Councilman Larry Payne, who
stepped down last month.
As of a few days ago. they'd had
a single application, although May-
or Juanice Padgett said she'd been
talking to a "couple of interested
parties." ,
Forget about "We the people, in
order to form a more perfect
union...," Glen can't even get "We
care."
So as a public service to the
town, here are my suggestions for
ways to remedy the situation.
*.Staying with the Founding Fa-
thers theme, Glen can convert to a
monarchy. No town council re-
quired, and you need only one per-
son to rule. It would be icing on the
cake if they can find a guy named
George III to take the throne.
Pass an ordinance expanding
the council to 425 members, then
appoint everyone in town. Certain-
ly you could get at least four to


show up for any particular meeting
or workshop.
Before every meeting, pick a
name at random in the phone book,
call him or her up and make it
sound like they've won something
valuable, maybe an autographed
poster of Dale Jr. or a month's sup-
ply of Copenhagen. When he
comes to the council room to col-
lect, lock the door and make him sit
through another in a seemingly
endless string of fascinating work-
shops on water and sewer service.
Offer free land to one or both
of the Bush brothers. They'll each
-be out of a job in the near future
and might be interested in a work-
ing retirement. Giving them an acre
or two of prime Glen St. Mary real
estate especially with water and
sewer service should seal the
deal.
Get with Sheriff Joey Dobson
to develop a work release program
for selected county jail inmates.
Even a hot, stuff\. cramped meet-
ing room -is better than .a jail celI,,
right?
Right?
Force Mr. Payne to return.
Town officials can threaten to exer-
cise eminent domain to build a re-
gional sewage treatment plant next
to the House of Payne.
Turn the town's governance in-
to a reality show.
Oh, wait, it already is.


MY SIDE OF

THE MA.,E


I don't normally pay any atten-I
tion to business news, but there
were a couple of interesting stories
this week. I noticed that ATT and
Bell South are getting set to merge.
SI'm not Alan Greenspan or any-
thing, but it seems to me as if this
is ddjt vu. Wasn't it a couple of
decades back that ATT and Bell
were one big monopoly? If I'm not
mistaken, there wasn't a lot more
than ATT.


Ronald Reagan changed all that
by deregulating and breaking up all
the Bells into Baby Bells, what
they are now. So now they're band-
ing together again and paying a lot
of money to do it.
That's interesting. It's like hav-
ing to sell my car and then turning
around and buying it back for a
higher price. It doesn't make a lot
of sense. But then again, not much
makes a whole lot of sense to me.
It also reminds me of people
who sell off their land for housing
developments not like that's hap-
pening anywhere in Baker County.
If six months later they were to turn
around and spend a quarter of a
million dollars in the same housing
development, that would be a simi-


lar situation.
Another story was about the
Forbes 500 report of billionaires.
Forbes said that there are more bil-
lionaires now than ever before. Of
course, Bill Gates leads the list.
The Microsoft guru has close to
$50 billion in personal worth. His
former partner, Paul Allen, who
owns the Seattle Seahawks, isn't
far behind.
Another interesting entry is J. K
Rowling. If the name is vaguely
familiar, it's probably because you
have kids who are addicted to her
Harry Potter books.
Rowling has more money than
the Queen of England and is that
country's richest woman. Seven or
eight years ago, Rowling was basi-

How birthdays evolve over years


THE BACK




I'm fast approaching the half-;
century mark and find myself won-
dering where the time went. It
seems I blinked and it was gone.,
I remember when I was about
22 and could not conceive what it
would be like to be 30.
Birthdays came and went with-
out much notice. I usually spent
them with family and as the years
went by began to dread their
approach. Not because of my in-
creasing age, but because they just
weren't that much fun.
March, the month I was born,.
can be a brutal time of year in my
native South Carolina. The weath-
er is rainy and freezing, skies usu-
ally gray, the landscape bare and
even more gray.
My fantasy of celebrating my
birthday always came with a men-
tal backdrop of blue skies, warm
temperate weather, ocean waves
rolling up onto the shore, flowers
blooming, sunshine, sunshine, sun-
shine and being able to have this
wonderful party outside with lots
of happy folks laughing and smil-
ing and having a great time..
Nope.
As my family spread out it was
hard to get people together, even
for a few hours. Usually it was
everyone meeting in a noisy
restaurant that I didn't particularly
like, crowded around a table just a
bit too small, with music that was
too loud. It's hard to talk to some-
one when they are eight feet away


across a table.
Because it was my birthday, the
restaurant would give me a com-
plimentary dessert, which was
always the least interesting and
cheapest one on the menu. Harried
and bored restaurant staff gathered
around and sang the birthday 'song
while strangers at .other tables
stared at me.
I'd eat my slice of cake out of
obligation, not wanting to seem
ungrateful, while everyone else
ordered and ate the exact dessert
they wanted.
I spent my 40th birthday, sitting
on the couch with my cat. My fam-
ily, in its distraction with other
things, forgot my birthday.
Now, I'm a big girl and it's
unseemly to pout, but it was my
birthday and everyone FORGOT!
Someone remembered about a
week later and sheepishly apolo-
gized. I got a white envelope with
money in it and Happy Birthday
hastily scrawled'across the front.
Inside was $40 to commemorate
my 40th birthday. I took myself
out to lunch and ordered the
dessert I wanted for a change.
A couple of years ago I vowed to
never again have another boring
birthday. I'd do exactly what I
wanted and no longer accommo-
date anyone else's schedules or
needs.
And so with my birthday ap-
proaching in March I started to
make plans. I pretty much settled
on a drive to Palatka to charter a
skydiving service. Yes, I would
jump out of a plane! something
no one expected me to do.
But then, bronchitis knocked me
flat on my back for nearly two and
a half weeks. No skydiving for me.


On my birthday, which fell on a
recent;Sunday, I dragged myself to
church at St. Peter's, still a bit
weak from my illness. Because it
was my birthday, Father Charlie
gave me a special anointing at the
altar during Communion. New to
the Anglican faith, I was unaware
of this custom. It was one of the
sweetest experiences of my life
and to say it brought a tear to my
eye is moot.
Afterwards, in the church kit-
chen, I saw my neighbor Susan
Krall.
"If you're feeling up to it, come
for supper tonight," she invited.
When I arrived, much of the
entire congregation was there,
busily cooking steaks on the grill
outside. The weather was pleasant
and flowers were blooming every-
where. I got warm hugs and a fab-
ulous meal. There were jokes and
stories. After dinner, I got presents.
One was very special a silver
pickle fork I casually mentioned
wanting earlier. Susan had remem-
bered that.
Then out of the kitchen came a
delicious made-from-scratch birth-
day cake, candles blazing.
One church member had spent
the afternoon in her kitchen mak-
ing this perfection from a family
recipe. It was white cake with
raspberry and lemon fillings
between the different layers and all
covered with white cream icing.
Sitting there licking icing off
my fingers, I realized I had around
me what I'd wanted for a long
time: people having a wonderful
time, a meal fit for a queen, the
best dessert I'd ever had, hot tea
served in beautiful china and most
significant tons of laughter.


Was there anything that could be
missing from this scenario?
Nope.
I was reminded of a silkscreen
print of a beautiful Victorian house
I had often admired that hung in
the office of one of my college pro-
fessors. There were candles in the
windows and flowers in baskets on
the porch. A cat sat contentedly on
the banister. And below was the
caption:
"And in that house, was much
happiness and laughter.",
It was a very good birthday.

cally living in her car. So I am
happy for her. In fact, I believe her
newest book is Harry Potter and
the Vault Full of Money.
One person who plummeted off
the list from' last year wasMartha
Stewart. Her home decorating
empire is still worth a ton of
money, but fell below- the billion
dollar mark.
I guess a stint in prison tends to
have a negative effect on your
stock prices. Community control
bracelets kind of limit the amount
of time that you can visit your bro-
ker.
The youngest billionaire is 22.
the daughter of the assassinated
prime minister of Lebanon. An-
other billionaire is the head of
Bechtel. who with Haliburton is the
major contractor rebuilding Iraq.
Bechtel might have been higher
on the list, but the GAO. the
Government Accounting Office,
reports that the US government has
misplaced $4 billion in cash sent to
the rebuilding process.
How do you misplace $4 bil-
lion? I regularly lose my car keys,
but I think I could keep track of $4
billion. I imagine it would weigh a
little something.
The GAO's best bet at finding
this money is to check the Forbes
500 list of billionaires. If there is an
Iraqi named Ahmed Al Da'%i who
formerly ran a taxi service from the
Baghdad airport who has suddenly
shown up on the list, coming in at
$4 billion, give or take a million
and change, then they might raise
an eyebrow.
I can't quite imagine that kind of
money; it is out of my scope of rea-
soning. I'm a pretty simple man,
and for the life of me I can't figure
what I could buy with that much
money. I'd be happy with enough
to pick up a new weed eater so that
I could trim around the azalea
bushes.
People who are capable of mak-
ing that much money just have a
different genetic makeup than me. I
go to work, I collect my pa) check,
I'm happy when I'm washing a
pair of jeans and find $5 in the
back pocket. Hey, a large cup of
coffee and a blueberry bagel!
Does Bill Gates wash his jeans
and find $5 million in his back
pocket? Hey, a 50'- yacht and a
Mercedes!
Perhaps it's a matter of scope.
Maybe if I was rich, I'd develop
more exclusive tastes. Instead of an
$8 bottle of red wine from the
supermarket aisle to go with my
spaghetti, I'd demand an $800 bot-
tle from Bourdeau to go with the
spaghetti while dining at the restau-
rant on my private island off the
coast of Italy.
I don't know that it would taste
any better, though. But I would be
willing to find out.
Don't expect to see my name on
the list of billionaires any time
soon. That is, unless I share a cab
from the Baghdad airport with that
Bechtel guy.

Code board back hearing



cases; new officer is hired


Following a hiatus of ten months,
the Baker County Code Enforce-
ment Board is back in business.
The regulatory board met the
evening of March 13 and ruled on
two cases of violating the land use
regulations on mobile home skirt-
ing.
But the crux of the meeting cen-
tered around getting back in the
business of hearing cases of prop-
erty owners violating the county's
zoning c6des.


Tools taken

from van are

worth $2600

A half dozen property crimes
involving vehicles were reported
to the sheriff's department recent-
ly, including the theft of nearly
$2600 in tools from a work van
parked the weekend before last off
J.B. Hines Road.
Owner Robert Cumpston told
police March 7 the tools were
taken from a 1990 Chevrolet van
Outside his residence south of
Macclenny.
Included among the items he
used for his woodworking business
were sanders, drills and a nail gun.
He placed their value at $2558.
There is a suspect in the case,,a
male seen in the area that week-
end.
In other cases, a Kawasaki mot-
orcycle valued at $3000 was taken
from a pole barn near the resi-
dence of Russell McNeil off Se-
cret Lake Lane overnight on
March 12.
Rhonda Mobley' reported a
1997 Polaris motorbike taken from
a locked area belonging to Car
Quest, where she had left it for
repairs. There is a suspect in that
case also.'
Darron Robinson of Olustee
reported someone took his locked
1988 Che'. rQ.leit.parked in the early
morning hours of March. 11 off
South Ninth St. in Macclenny.
A 1987 Chevrolet belonging to
Jennifer Manning was taken early
on March 10 from outside her resi-
dence on Tony Givens Road north
of Sanderson.
Deputy Wayne Limbaugh found
the vehicle abandoned later that
morning on the shoulder of Inter-
state 10.
Joseph Marek reported a 2004
Ford truck taken from his resi-
dence off Linda St. in Macclenny
the evening of March 8. A teenage
daughter was named as a suspect.

We love you, Daddy, Mommy,

The blame for the dearth of cas-
es since May, 2005 was laid vari-
'ously at the feet of county admin-
istration and the pre-occupation of
the Building and Zoning Depart-
ment with growth-related tasks
like reviewing building plans.
"I apologize. Most of you know
what's happened since December
(the firing of ex-County Manager
Jason Griffis)," said County Com-\
mission Chairman Alex Robinson,
who sat through most of the meet-
ing.
"We lost our county manager
and our code enforcement officer
(Bobby Hancock) and everything
kind of came to a halt," said Mr.
Robinson.
Taking Mr. Hancock's place
and making an inaugural appear-
ance before the board this week
was Glendon Patten,'a retired
Army Lt. Col. who moved to Bak-
er County a year ago.,.
Mr. Patten, attached to the
Corps of Engineers and specializ-
ing in public works s~ stems.. ini-
tially volunteered with the build-
ing office and now has been hired
fulltime.
He has been on the payroll one
month, and has also been assigned
supervisor duties over the St.
Marys Shoals project off Ode Yar-
brough Road.
Mr. Patten told the board he
was sifting through dozens of past
complaints and categorizing them
for compliance or hearings before
the code board.
The complaints range from junk
cars to excessive trash and lack of
mobile home skirting, and like Mr.
Hancock before him, the newly
hired officer said he will make ef-
forts to work with violators and se-
cure corrective action before cases
are brought before the board for
action.
The code board routinely levies
fines if violations are not cleared
up by specific dates after hearings.
In cases of rare repeat offend-
ers, the CEB in the past has or-
dered immediate fines.
If fines go unpaid' the county
places lien on property and the ar-
rearage must be satisfied before
the property can be transferred.


In cases heard this week, the
board gave Richard Paulson 25
days to install skirting. If he fails
to do so within that time, the fine
is $75 the first day. and $10 a day
for up to a half-year.
Mr. Paulson said a new mobile
home at his residence off Reuben
Crawford Road was structurally
damaged when moved onto his
property in June, 2005.
Since then, he testified he has
had multiple problems getting the:
damage repaired, and asked for the
extra time to coincide with new
siding he was told will be in-
stalled.
The board found a similar vio-
lation in the case of Cynthia
Rhoades, who is awaiting a work
rehabilitation for which the permit
has been obtained.
Her case will be re-visited next
month. Board member Scott An-
derson and Chairman Jim Mc-
Gauley voted against the post-
ponemeni of the fine phase be-
cause the original complaint dated
back to December, 2004.
The CEB spent some time dis-
cussing %whether building depart-
ment employees should be more
aggressive initiating violation cas-
es. The law allows such activity,
but in the past the board relied in
most cases on anonymous com-
plaints from citizens.
It was generally agreed that it
would be best due to the current
backlog of cases to deal with them
first.

Pot, pills found after traffic stop


A passenger in a vehicle pulled
over in north Macclenny late on
March 11 for excessive noise was
charged with felony drug posses-
sion after a deputy sheriff found
both marijuana and prescription
medication on him.
A 16-year-old male who was
also in the vehicle just after 11:00
when it was pulled over by Deputy
Jimmy Stalnaker faces similar
charges.


The passenger was identified as
William Rigdon, 19, with an ad-
dress on Frank Combs Circle near
Taylor. The youth lives nearby and
both are students at Baker County
High School.
The driver of the vehicle, whose
name and age were not given, is
believed also to be a juvenile. He
was released after being ticketed
for the noise violation and not. hav-
ing a driver's license.

nity development needs will be held at the Glen St Mary Town Hall, 10046 S. Glen Ave., Glen

Having seen Die Hard and.

into 16 Blocks with a resigned
feeling like I have walking into
McDonald's. You know it's going
to satisfy your need for a Big Mac,
but it's getting old. Boy, was I
wrong.
This Bruce was not your Die
Hard Bruce. He was overweight
and seemed out of it for the first
20-30 minutes, which fit his char-.
acler perfectly.

Eddy out because he is on his way

bad cop is played wonderfully by
David Morse from The Green

Mosely wakens from the drunk-
en stupor that has become his life
and we have a movie.
Of course, there was a sense of
unbelievablity to the movie, for in-'
stance Bruce Willis drives a bus
with papered windows and no tires
to precisely the weakest point in
the police blockade. Nonetheless,
the superb'characters in the story
draw ypu in and keep you on the

sion. : :
The casting for this movie was
right on the mone\. The lead ac-
tors have great chemistry and play
, off of each other v'er) well. Morse
is the epitome of evil through and
through. Director Richard Donner
doesn't overplay the action with
obnoxious explosions and bal-
ances it with the character devel-
opment and storyline. .
R6 Blocks is rated PG-13 for \ i-

Cats' baseball team is multi-faceted on amond


Basketball:


Enjoy this


descent into


Madness

It's that time again. If you are a
fan of college basketball, it's the
high holy days. March Madness is
uponus. What makes it even
more exciting this year is that a
set of first round games takes
place at the Jacksonville Veterans
Memorial Arena.
Not that you could get a ticket
to the games, but if you could
manage it, you would have the
treat of seeing a resurgent Florida.
Gators as the favorite.
The Gators, who started the
season strong, and were ranked as
high as second in the nation,
stumbled along the way, .losing a
pair to both South Carolina and
Tennessee; they also lost to Al- *
abama and Arkansas.
.In late February they dropped
three straight, but peaked when
they had to,'winning the SEC
tournament in a low scoring game

The top seeds are
pretty predictable and
the number twos are
probably right, except
for Tennessee. What
in the world are the
Vols doing seeded
second?
against the same South Carolina
Gamecocks who had their number
the whole season long.
Neither team was able to break
50 points, but the Gators showed
character when it mattered most.
They face South Alabama in
their opening round game, which
tips off at 2:25 pm March 16.
Don't look past this game, the
Jaguars won't be an easy mark.
And it doesn't stop with that
game. There are other good teams
if you're lucky enough to have a
ticket.
Syracuse had much the same
run as the Gators. They won the
Big East tournament after having
a spotty season.
Never bet against the Okla-
homa Sooners. And then there are
the LSU Tigers, who gave the
Gators fits, and lona.
Yeah, I know. How can you
root for a team whose nickname is
the Gaels?
The top seeds are pretty pre-
dictable. Connecticut, Villanova,
Duke, and Memphis have been
good all season long. The number
twos are probably right as well
with the exception of the Ten-
nessee Vols. What in the world
are the Vols doing seeded second?
Tennessee has one more loss than
the Gators with seven. Gonzaga
was 27-3, which is one less loss
than Villanova, a number one
seed.
The talking points of this
year's bracket are the number of
teams from lesser known confer-
ences that made it in to the big
dance. The Mountain West and
the Colonial Conference each got
an at-large bid in addition to their
automatic bids.
The mid-major Missouri Valley
Conference, which isn't well
known to the casual fan, placed
four teams in the tournament.
There were some interesting
teams that were left out of the
mix, including FSU and Cincin-
nati. The Noles beat Duke and
lost to UNC, Duke and Boston
College by a total of five points.
Do they deserve to be in instead
of Air Force? Probably, consider-
ing the strength of schedule.
That's what I love about the
NCAA tournament. There's al-
ways something interesting, and
the games haven't even started
yet.

About the only thing-that can
stop the Baker High baseball team
lately is the weather.
The Wildcats were rained out
of Tuesday's game at Ridgeview,
briefly cooling their scorching
start to the season.
After the Cats' victory over St.
Joseph Academy March 10, their
record stands at 9-2, including
two wins in the pre-season Dia-


mond Classic.
In their 5-4 victory over the
Fighting Flashes in St. Augustine,
the Cats used timely hitting and
perfect execution to stage a last-
inning, game-winning rally.
St. Joseph pitcher Robbie
Dombrowsk held the Cats to a
pair of runs through six innings,
scattering five hits and walking
two.
However, in the top of the sev-
enth,trailing 4-2, Kelly Davis led
off with a walk. Rob Kirkland fol-


T he boys and girls track team lost a dualmeet to
Fort White March 9 at the Baker County High
School track.

couldn't overcome the loss of potential points %%hen they
had no competitors in four events. '
Justin Gaskins took first in the high jump, followed by
Tyler Oswald and Patrick Darby.
Luke Canaday led the Cats' sweep in the 1600. Allen
Huffman took second and Kyle Wray third.
Greg Williams picked up the only other individual first
place when h'e ofn the 100 meters.
The 4 x 800 relay team won by default when the Raiders
did not field a team in the event.
Girls' first place finishers were Mary Dugger in the 200
meters and Kendra Russell in the shot put. Dugger also
placed second in the 100, while Russell took second in the
discus.
"Everybody's time has 'dropped and I'm very pleased
with the high jump," coach Ron Lee said. "Coach Ruise and
I are very pleased with the effort."
The Cats' next meet is March 16 at Hilliard.

The Lady Cats softball team
lost 5-3 to Baldwin March 9, their
fifth loss in five home games this
season.,
They were scheduled to play
Tuesday night at home against
Ridgeview, but details of the
game were not available at press
time.
Overall the Cats are 2-8, with
both wins coming on the road.
Their district record is 1-2.
The Cats' loss to Baldwin
came about two weeks after
they'd beaten the Indians at Bald-
win.
The Cats fell behind early and
were unable to catch up although
they had the tying run at the plate
with one out in the bottom of the
seventh inning.
In the first, Baldwin scored an
unearned run on a two-out single,
a stolen base, an error and a

lowed with a pinch single to put
the tying runs on base.
Alan Tanner's sacrifice bunt
moved them into scoring position
with one out.
Davis then scored on a passed
ball, as pinch runner Josh White-
head took third. ,
Coach John Staples called for a
suicide squeeze, a play that failed
badly in the Cats' loss to Suwan-
nee County two games earlier.
J.D. Milton, however, laid
down the bunt and Whitehead


passed ball.
They tallied another unearned
run in the second, then added two
runs in the third on two doubles, a
single and three stolen bases.
Down 4-0, the Cats broke
through in the third when Shan-
non Nickels, who had a great
game, reached on a two-base er-
ror to lead off the inning. She lat-
er scored on another error.
Neither team was able to score
again until the final inning al-.
though the Cats had runners on
second and third with no outs in
the fifth.
In the top of the seventh, Bald-
win scored once and had a runner
thrown out at the plate.
With the Cats down 5-1,
Caitlin Griffis led off the bottom
of the inning with a single. Mor-
gan Harvey pinch ran for her and
scored on a Nickels' double.
One out later, Brittany Hinson
singled to drive home Nickles and

with one out.
Nickels had a single and dou-

and scoring two.
She also made a great defen-

within, striking distance in the
seventh when Baldwin had run-

out. Nickles snagged a line drive
and doubled up the Indians' run-

to discuss concerns about the -im-
pact on schools.
Marcia Tjoflat, who represented
Golf View, said that the schools
are currently approaching 120 per-
cent of capacity, which triggers the
need for more space.
"By the time we come along,
those issues will have been dealt
with," she said.
Ms. Tjoflat added that the in-
creased ad valorem taxes will ben-
efit the schools, as will the dis-_
trict's impact fee on new homes.
Several. nearby residents ex-
pressed concern over traffic and
other matters, but the meeting did.
not turn contentious as often hap-
pens in these situations.
That was in part due to Golf
View inviting Copper Creek resi-
dents to a meeting March 7 to dis-
cuss the development. I
As part of the motion to ap-,
prove the rezoning ordinance,
commissioners amended it to re-
quire that the developer place a
marker on the property to com-
memorate its historic significance.
The site played a role in the
Battle of Olustee, and historians
believe casualties from both sides
were buried there.
Union forces reportedly used
the Barber Plantation as a hospital.

In other matters at Tuesday's
city meeting:
Commissioners approved the
first reading for rezoning the old
Baker County Health Department
property from government use to
commercial general in order for
Walgreens to build a store there.
The county petitioned for the
rezoning. It is selling the tract to
Walgreens for $1.5 million.
A company representative e said
the store should be open for busi-
ness later this year.
City manager Gerald Dopson
said the city completed utility)
work on Sixth Street near US 90.
A bad joint in the main was cre-
ating a sink hole at the edge of the
road last week.
A video-inspection of the pipe,
which was installed in 1949,
showed extensive deterioration in
other areas, so the pipe was re-
placed at a cost of $75,000.
Mr. Dopson said new technolo-
gy allowed %workers to insert a new
pipe without major excavation
work that could ha\ e taken two to
three weeks instead of five da\s.
' Commissioners asked for a
cost estimate for engineering plans
that would be used to apply for a
do%% onto n re% italization grant.
A coalition of business ow ners
known as The Core Dow% ntown
Macclenn\ Group is asking the
city to provide increased parking,
landscaping and lighting in pub-
licly ot ned space.
Chairman Jim McGaule\ show-
ed the commission plans for con-
Serting College Street to a one-

ing to Fourth Street to increase

The 5 big


Overpricing, 'hard sell'


and other pitfalls that


trip up house sellers


By Jared Wilkerson

The decision to sell a home
and take that leap into a new
property can lead simultaneous-
ly to a very exciting and very
stressful situation. Even if all of
the decisions sellers make
along the way are sound, the
"what ifs"
and unfore-
seen sur-
prises that
pop up on
the way to i
closing can
still be -is ,
nearly in- -w
escapable
in most
deals. Re-
gardless of Jared t'lkerson Realtor
the 'numer-
ous stumbling blocks that occur
naturally when selling a home,
sellers still seem to go out of
their way at times to add, a few
self-imposed crises to the mix.
Here are a few mistakes
homeowners have the power to
avoid, although sadly, most
don't:
1. Overpricing. Real estate
agents can talk to homeowners
until even the family dog is blue
in the face about the impor-
tance of pricing a home at mar-
ket value and still get a plethora
of reasons why the sellers be-
lieve their home is better than
those of their neighbors"and
therefore is worth about forty
million dollars more. A thorough
verbal discussion on the advan-
tages of pricing a home to sell
generally takes me about 90
minutes with a homeowner.
That is a little beyond the scope
of this article. The highlighted
facts to consider are as fol-
lows:
a. Homes that are
priced right have
the highest
chance of en-
ticing a bid-
ding war
that


bumps the final sales price
to above market value.
b. "Trying it for just a little
while" will completely waste
the time period of market-
ing that has the highest lev-
el of activity.
c. Sellers who overprice statis-
tically end up reducing the
price several times until the
home finally sells at below
market value. It's true.
d. A home that doesn't sell for
months can severely offset
the seller's plans to move,
meanwhile costing thou-
sands in un-recoupable in-
terest payments on the
mortgage.
The list could go on into dou-
ble letters, but the point is obvi-
ous. If a seller has even the
slightest inkling to admit they
are unsure of the value of the
home, they should seek the ad-
vice of a professional, ,be it ei-
ther a real estate agent or a li-
censed appraiser. Giving up a
couple hundred dollars for an
appraisal or a couple hours lis-
tening to an agent's marketing
offers will be resources well
spent.
2. Trying to "hard sell."
Sometimes sellers get into their
rock-hard negotiating modes a
little too early with prospective
buyers. Remember that the
home should be as warm and
inviting as possible. That in-
cludes the hospitality of the

owners. The, buyers are about
to make one of the biggest emo-
tional and financial decisions of
their lives. As such, they can
and do turn away from good
homes due to bad vibes from
the owners. Be as nice as pos-
sible and then when it comes
time to talk terms, just be firm,
but friendly.
3. Avoiding real estate agents
like the plague. Admittedly, I am
a bit biased on this one. I only
include it to make one simple
point: Real estate agents are
still in business for a reason. It
may be worth a seller's time to
at least investigate what that
reason is. Agents are going to
come around when they see the
For Sale, anyway...may as well
pick their brains while they're
there.
4. Crowding buyers.
-,: As difficult as it may
be to set strangers
.i .; loose in the home,
it is the best
thing to do.
Buyers ab-
solutely
hate it
when
re-


Lo ,cation.. ..
":' ".: -' .:.- .'. : 2 ,,;


al estate agents follow them all
throughout the house spouting
off every little tidbit of info they
can. think of. Sellers are twice
as bad as agents because they
have a history with the home
and can tell stories about each
feature,
To make matters worse, the
last thing sellers or agents want
to do is hurry a buyer through
the home. By talking throughout
the showing, that is exactly what.
happens. As soon' as the mouth
stops running in this room, buy-
ers psychologically assume that
it must be time, for a new room.
What if the buyers really wanted
to spend more time in that
room falling in love with it? The
buyers are there to see the
home. Let them see it. Mention
that if they have any questions,
you'll be in the kitchen. This al-
so helps to keep buyers from
feeling as though they're .intrud-
ing in the home. Most people
would feel strange about open-
ing someone's closet if that
someone was standing right
there telling them how much of
a pain putting in that crown
molding overhead was. Put
away your valuables and keep-
sakes and let them see the
home at their own pace.
5. Not educating them-
selves on closing costs. There
are numerous details regarding
costs that need to be split up
between buyer and seller at
closing. Not familiarizing oneself


with who customarily pays what
can cost sellers thousands de-
pending on how contract terms
are negotiated. If you will be
handling the negotiations your-
self, you'd better do your home-
work. If employing an agent,
make sure they've done theirs
and can explain each item to
you thoroughly. It's your money.
In order to keep as much as
possible, you'll need to under-
stand the dollar figure associat-
ed with each negotiating point.,
