Wes ts ide

meningitis

patient is

home from

the hospital

BY JIM McGAULEY
Press Publisher
A local health official says a
meningitis scare at Westside Ele-
mentar\ two weeks ago has passed
with the release from the hospital
of a second-grade girl who hps re-
covered from a probable cas-e.
Both school and health officials
credited quick reaction by the
child's mother and a prompt re-
sponse inoculating fellow students
and adults w ith preventing a spread
of the potentially contagious and
sometimes deadly disease.
The school was first notified of
the girl's illness March 14 after the
mother took her to Fraser Hospital
and she was transferred to Wolfson
Children's Hospital in Jacksonville.
The child had been avay from
the class for five days because of
the teacher planning day on the
pre% ious Friday. according to Vi-
\ian Crew s, the Baker Count)
Health Department's manager for
epidemiology.
"We were able to get ahead of
the situation because the incubation
period is normally 2-,10 days with a
mean (average) of 3-4," said Ms.
Cre s.
The health office arranged to
vaccinate 17 classmates and eight
adults the next day. March 15, and
arrangements were made to have
others not in school that day take
the shots at the health department.
The school also sent letters
home to parents of all students ad-
vising them of the situation, and
health officials here kept a close
eye on the progress of the 8-year-
old at Wolfson.
"It's critical to get the vaccine
working in 'a 24-hour period and
we were able to do that," stated
Ms. Crews.
The child was discharged from
Wolfson last week with the proba-
ble diagnosis. Ms. Crews said a
certain determination was not pos-
sible because the girl had already
been given medication to combat
the disease. She is from the San-
derson area.
Meningitis causes swelling in
the -lining of the brain and spinal
cord, and its close relative septi-
caemia is the blood-poisoning form
of the disease. Both can kill within
hours untreated.
Parents were advised of com-
mon symptoms like high fever,
severe headache and nausea and
disorientation.

Turkey hunting;

that is; a passion

unabated for

Paul Rhoden, 91
BN KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
Paul Rhoden loves turkey season in Florida
Although he looks forward to the annual hunting of
gobblers, he is a conservative hunter by choice and usu-
ally claims only two of the magnificent birds during the
season, which in North Florida runs from March 19 to
April 24.
Hunting turkey is not unusual. The fact that Paul
Rhoden, a former pharmacist and drug store owner who
has lived all his life in NMacclenny and is still hunting at
age 91. most certain\ is.
"1l'e belonged to different hunt clubs over the
Nears." sa\s Mr. Rhoden. "I used to hunt quail. Then
the quail population fell into decline in this part of the
state. I took up hunting turkey after that."
The lifelong hunter has a lot of respect for the w% ild
game birds and considers them one of the most chal-
lenging birds to hunt.
"Here in Florida \e have two of the five %wild turkey
species found in the United States the Osceola and the
Eastern. In the northern part of the state there is mostly
Eastern Turkey. They are secretive, really smart and
have amazing hearing and eyesight." NMr. Rhoden says.
"Put that together with this region's dense, shadowy
vegetation and you've got quite a challenge on your
hands."
When Paul Rhoden hunts turke., he's out in the
voods by 5:00 a.m. To lure the big gobblers down from
the trees, he uses a diaphram caller that simulates the
call of a female turkey.
"I don't believe in hunting to excess. Two turkeys
per season more than fulfills our needs," says Mr.
Rhoden.
His family\ alw ays enjoys a turkey dinner when he
has a successful hunt. Wife Violet has often helped pre-
pare the turkeN for cooking.
Scalding water is poured over the bird to loosen the
feathers, making the job of plucking easier Wild turkey
has a distinctly different taste from birds raised on com-
mercial farms due to a natural diet and freedom to
roam.
The Rhodens enjoy the taste of the wild game and
frying the turkey breast is a favorite way to cook the
meat.
Many people have not seen a \\ild turkey up close.

"They are truly beautiful creatures," says Mr. Rhoden.
He once had an unusual experience that could easily be included in a book on
turkey hunting lore.

sort of floated down. I waited for him to die, but he just sat there, hunched and not

Springtime fun at Heritage Park opening Saturday
Karlie Marin Jessyn Sands andellen Marini enjoyed old-fashioned hot dogs and cokes in front of the replicated Blue Haven Restaurant at the grand
opening ofDarbyville at Heritage Park last Saturday. The project funded largely by the city of Macclenny, consists of buildings meant to re-create the fla-
vor of the city, both during and after it was known as Darbyville. Saturday's program featured dedication ceremonies and demonstrations of old-time cook-
ing and crafts. The Blue Haven, owned by William and Susie Barber, operated on the southeast corner of Fourth Street in Macclenny from 1947-1967.

6 more

sentenced

for roles

in local

methi ring

BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
A federal judge has sentenced
six more defendants in Operation
Sawmill, the investigation into a
large, locally-based methampheta-<
mine ring busted in February of last
year.
Ten of the 14 people arrested
have now been sentenced. The rest
including the local ringleader and
the California supplier also hae .
pled guilty to conspiracy to distrib-
ute methamphetamine and are
scheduled for sentencing.
Judge Harve3 Schlesinger on
Tuesday sentenced Charity Merrett,
of St. George, Ga. to 35 months in
prison and Robbie Burnsed, of
Sanderson to 27 months.
Carrie Morrison of Mlacclenny,
the only defendant to aloid prison,
received five years' probation with
four months of home detention and
four months of community correc-
tions.
Earlier this month, John Merrett,
one of two brothers at the center of
the ring. was sentenced to 92
months in prison, followed by 60
months of probation. He is from St.
George.
In addition to the four a3ntn,.edl
this month, there were five other
locals arrested. Three have been
sentenced. They are:
Kenneth Wilkes and Michael
Ferris, both from Glen St. Mary.;
were each given 70 months in'
prison for conspiracy to distribute
marijuana. The) also must serve
five years of probation.,
Wesley Lewis of Macclenny
%was sentenced to 37 months fol-
lowed by four years' probation.
Yet to be sentenced are ring-,i
leader James Merrett John's,
brother and Charit\'s husband -
and Timothy Burnsed. Both had
been on the docket this month, but
were postponed to a later date.
Of the remaining five defendants
- none of whom are from this area
- three have been sentenced:
Thomas Floyd received 77
months in prison and 60 months'-
probation.
Donnie Strickland got 51
months and 48 months.
Archie Crook was sentenced to
92 months in prison and five years'
probation.
That leaves Aaron Long, who is
scheduled for sentencing March 29,
and Carlos Ibarra, the primary sup-
plier to the ring, who is set for
March 30.
Operation Sawmill so named
because James Merrett ran a
sawmill on his property in Charlton
County -- was conducted by a task
force made up of federal and local
officers, including Randy Crews
from the Baker County Sheriff's
Office.
They arrested 11 suspects in-
- eluding the nine locals last Febru-
ary 28. Two others were arrested
soon afterward, but Mr. Ibarra, of
Los Angeles, was arrested more
than six months later after being set
up by an unnamed co-conspirator.
Court documents say he distrib-
uted at least 560 grams of meth to
the ring between late 2002 and ear-
ly 2005.
Basically, James Merrett used
truck drivers to fetch the drug and
bring it to the east coast where it
was sold.
Mr. Long, of Lake Wales, Fla.,
was a second source of meth, but
Mr. Ibarra supplied a higher quality
meth, called "ice."
Federal prosecutors said James
Merrett even conducted his drug
business while locked up in Baker
County jail.

Incarcerated on a DUI charge,
he passed instructions for running
the operation to his brother, Ms.
Morrison and Mr. Lewis.
He directed them to steer less
trusted members of the ring away
from Mr. Ibarra to Mr. Long.
Among those on the outs was
Robbie Burnsed.
Operation Sawmill began in
late 2003 when a witness tipped
off investigators to the drug ring,
fingering Mr. Merrett as the leader.
The unidentified source also
named Mr. Ferris, and provided
Mr. Ibarra's name and phone num-
bers.
In an unrelated federal case,
former-Baker County High School
baseball star Marcus Hodges was
sentenced to 30 months in prison
for conspiracy to distribute drugs,
The Florida Times-Union reported
last week.
Hodges was part the ongoing
investigation of the Florida State
Department of Corrections, which
is focusing on the prison softball
team on which he played when he
worked as a guard.
Originally, he was arrested in
Palm Beach County, then was hit
with additional charges in Baker
County when police found a box
full of drugs he kept at his sister's
home in Macclenny. The drugs in-
cluded painkillers, anti-anxiety


medication and Viagra.
The state charges were dropped
in connection with his federal pro-.
secution.

to. No one I know ever heard of
being charged by a turkey."
Although Mr. Rhoden has never
given one of his birds to a taxider-
mist for preservation, he has over
the years collected the beards from
the turkeys he's bagged.
An impressive collection dis-
played in a shadowbox frame
hangs on the wall of his home. A
turkey "beard" is a bundle of
tough filaments that grow from the
male turkey's breast and average
nine inches in length.
Some male turkeys will have
multiple beards and occasionally a
female grows one, but typically
it's a male trait. Mr. Rhoden 'has
dozens of beards in his collection.
When asked if he plans to retire
from hunting in the near future,
Paul Rhoden laughs a bit. "I don't
plan to quit anytime soon." he
says. "I love being up and out in
the early morning during turkey
season. I really love the chal-
lenge."

the $1200 door and slightly dam-
aged a 1994 Ford pickup parked
just outside the door.
Police also found evidence of
entry an.d exit from the fenced
perimeter.
Jhony Lopez of Jacksonville
reported before dawn on March 25
that his 2003 Ford pickup had not
been returned after it was driven
from the parking lot of the S&S
store on South 6th in Macclenny
earlier that morning.

trict's chief nurse, credited the
health department with doing a
"phenomenal job" dealing with the
scare.
"They did a fantastic job and
their hard work prevented this
from getting potential worse,"
said Ms. Crews.
Her sentiment was echoed by
School Superintendent Paula Bar-'
ton.
"Because it was an isolated
case, we wanted to be very proac-
tive and advise parents of the signs
and symptoms while at the same
time treating the children exposed
to it," said Ms. Barton.
"They-(the health department)
handled it in a very timely man-
ner."

Hall cartoon hit


lack of oversight


BY ED HALL
Press Cartoonist
First off, let me state unequivo-
cally that this is in no way an apol-
ogy for last week's cartoon. I'm
also not going to get into the habit
of having to explain or defend each
and every cartoon I do.
But since I have a deep affection
for teachers and what they do, I
did want to make a statement about
what the cartoon "wasn't."
The cartoon was not a "slap in
the face" to all Baker County Mid-
dle School teachers. If anything it
was more a reaction to what I per-
ceived as a lack of oversight by ad-
ministrators.
How did this guy get hired in the
first place? And who was watching
him?
When I do a cartoon on a sensi-
tive subject like this, my first
thought is always "who's getting
hurt?" WVell, this time it would be
our students.
What would have happened if
this guy had not just happened to
have been caught that day? I'll tell
you what he'd be teaching your
middle school student today!
Perhaps instead of attacking the
messenger, the school district



Oops!

I fiimped the gun a bit last week
with an opinion column on lack of
attendance at an organization
meeting of The Joint City-County'
Service Providers on MAfarch 17.
It turns out most of the agencies
initially included on the growth-
planning committee were not invit-
ed to the meeting.
I attended the meeting and left
before it ended to keep another,
appointment. and thus did not
express my sentiments to any of the
-participants. Had I done that, they)
likely would have told me the plans
changed and the first meeting was
to include only representatives of
the school system, Macclenny,
Baker County and Glen St. Mary.
Sorry.
-JIM McGAULEY


night be advised to take a look at
its hiring practices, or drop into a
few classes unannounced every
once in a while.
As a former teacher, I know that
they are some of the most under-
paid, underrated, and under appre-
ciated workers in America. I've
also seen what falls through the
cracks and passes for "teacher."
We cannot allow students to be
taught by any but the best educa-
tors. If we really care about our
children we'll make sure of that.
Editorial cartoons engage and
enlighten. They are not always
funny. Humor is used as a vehicle
to get to the truth, and as we all
know, the truth can hurt.
But I would think that clean,
innocent, hardworking teachers
would have nothing to worry
about, and in fact be glad that
someone who was dragging down
their profession is now gone.

Cartoon stung all teacher


Dear Editor:
As president of the Baker County Educa-
tion Association and a teacher for 21 years, I
feel the need to address you concerning the
cartoon in The Baker County Press last week.
LIam concerned the cartoon reflects
negatively on all our teachers in Baker 01
County.
The community knows us; we are
your parents, your aunts, uncles, cousins,
grandparents, friends, Sunday School
teachers and your children.
We have taught you, your children.
your parents, aunts, uncles, ministers and
even your grandparents.
Do not let the impression of one car-
toon scare you into believing you do not
know us, and that we are not doing our
jobs. I will put all the teachers up against
any group of people in this country, and
know they are above reproach.
However, you must also know we are hu-
man, and one teacher's problems should not
reflect teachers as a whole.
Teaching is one profession where you
have to be perfect the day you %walk into a
classroom, and e\erN day for the next 30
years.


We have no learning curve. A doctor does
not operate on a heart patient his first day, and
a new lawyer does not handle a murder trial
her first day on the job. .

How to breathelife back intoNASA


MY SIDE OF

,THE MArTTER-.


I read this interesting tidbit in'
the news the other day.
Despite successes with the
Mars Rover, the Saturn and
Jupiter probe and the launch of
the Pluto explorer, NASA is still
in trouble. People don't seem to
think that the space agency is
really doing anything useful.
What's wrong with these peo-
ple? Haven't they heard of Tang.
and WD 40? What about Teflon
and Super Glue? All of these
things are a direct result of the
space program.
I'm not fanatical about the pro-
gram, mind you, but I'm con-
vinced the government spends
money on a lot of programs of
less use than NASA.
The Haliburton Corporation
wastes a whole lot more money
theoretically rebuilding Iraq than
NASA theoretically going where
no man has gone before.
NASA just needs a revamped
image. All these guys in short
sleeve white shirts with pocket
protectors and calculators send
the wrong image. We need a more


exciting image for the space pro-
gram.
Get rid of the pocket protectors
and strap on blasters and light
sabers. The head of NASA should
dress like Obi Wan Kenobi.
The ipso facto head of the
space agency is Vice President
Cheney, who with a little makeup
could easily resemble Jaba the
Hutt. Of course, Jaba never han-
dled a pump shotgun like the
Veep.
Throw some donuts on the side
of Laura Bush's head and she
looks like a classier version of
Princess Leia. And I'm sure
there's nothing President Bush
would like more than dressing up
like Han Solo. He acts like him
half the time anyway.
. Of course the hallmark of my
revamping of the space agency is
one sentence loaning out the
space shuttle. A lottery that
allows average Joes like, well, me
to keep the shuttle for a weekend
is just what the agency needs.
I might actually go to my high
school class reunion if I could
pull up in the space shuttle. Of
course, don't expect me to valet
park it. I'm not turning the keys
to this baby over to anyone.
"So, Bob, what have you been
doing with yourself lately?"
"Oh, nothing much. I'm just a
shuttle jockey."


I don't intend to fly it, I don't
fly. I just think it would be cool to
pull through the drive-thru at a
fast food restaurant in the shuttle.
"Do you want to upsize that?"
"Yeah and make it fast. I'm
due in earth orbit in a few hours."
When my time is up and I pass
the Discovery off to the, next
lucky jerk, I get a bumper sticker
that reads "My other vehicle is
the space shuttle."
Right there and then the space
agency is suddenly more trendy
than American Idol and Deal or
No Deal combined.
This same technique would
work for other troubled agencies.
All we have to do is put a little
Hollywood "slap and dash" on
them.
Having trouble finding people
to run the American ports? Think
we need some Arabs from Dubai
to run them? Don't be silly. All
we need is Jack Bauer. Put Keifer
Sutherland and his CTU team
from 24 to work.
I'm not guaranteeing life in the
American ports will be normal.
At least 24 hours every year some
crisis striking at the heart of
America will unfold at some port
around the country. Bauer and his
team will whisper their way
through it and in the end we will
all feel safer for it.
Have trouble with FEMA, the


Federal Emergency Management
Agency? Not to worry, I've got
the solution. The gecko that sells
car insurance is the perfect head
of FEMA. With his sly smile and
British accent, he's a natural at
convincing people that they are
safer and getting a good deal to
boot.
Who could say no to the
gecko? People in government
dragging their heels? The gecko
Will get all those other lizards to
whisper in people's ears and get
folks moving in the right direc-
tion.
As for Congress, well, that's
gonna take some thought.
' I've got it! Those monkeys
from CareerBuilder.com who are
always advertising their website
on television.
You've seen the commercial.
The monkeys are all partying
because a graph shows productiv-
ity going through the roof. The
lone human walks over and turns
the graph over to show that the
company is in the toilet. The
monkeys look serious for a
moment then flip the graph back
over. If that isn't a metaphor for
Congress, I don't know what is.
See, this stuff works for every
facet of life. No need to thank me,
just leave me the keys to the shut-
tle.

Dear Editor:
' I am writing in regard to the car-
toon you published in the edition
of March 22. .. :., ,.,n
In that cartoon, you asked a sim-
ple question: "Do you know who is
teaching your middle schoolers?"
As a graduate of Baker County
Middle School and a graduating
honor student at Baker County
High School, I would lIke to an-
swer that question for you.
Some of the most influential
people in my life teach at the mid-
dle school. In sixth grade, By-
ronelle Williams and Kevin Mies-
ter were the first to introduce my-
self and my classmates to a world
where there was no recess and
playtime. They both did their best
to help students cope with the
change from elementary to middle
school.
Seventh grade was a breeze
thanks to Glenda Sue Scallan,.Jane
Rhoden, Brita Hobbs and Beverly
McCray. They helped shape my
education and showed me that
teachers are not just educators, but
adults you can confide in.
The most memorable year in
middle school was eighth grade.
Ms. Svhira (now Ms. Tanner) op-


eried my eyes to the %world around
me, figuratively and literally. She
actually helped me enjoy science!
I cannot put into words the im-
pact Gail Griffis had on me and my
life. Not only did she prepare me
educationally for the next most
challenging four years of my life,
but she also became mN mentor.
"There is no stupid question,"
she would say. She went beyond
teaching and was always there if
someone needed her.
Shame on you!
Because of one teacher's mis-
take, you have questioned what
kind of people work at Baker
County Middle School. The staff
should not be categorized in such a
demeaning way.
Baker County is growing rapid-
ly and with all the new people ar-
riving, how are they to know that
the middle school staff is not what
you portrayed them to be at all?
How dare you put that kind of
shame on so many good people!
If one of your employees was
caught stealing, does that mean
you are a thief, too?

Teacher 'exceptional,


says former student


Dear Editor:
This letter is coming to you
from an 8th grade student at Bak-
er County Middle School.
I am a former student of
Stephen Crews, and two weeks
ago I read the sad and shocking
story of his arrest and resignation
from BCMS.
He was an exceptional math
teacher. He had a way of explain-
ing very difficult material in a
way that made it interesting and
easier to understanding.
Mr. Crews always told us not
to use drugs that it would ruin
our lives. I can see now this is
true.
He has lost his job and we
have lost a great teacher. The
worst part is this is his fault and
no one else's. Through this Mr.
Crews has taught me a new les-
son: if you do drugs you'll not
only hurt yourself but the ones


who care about you.
I want the people of Baker
County to know what Mr. Crews
was really like in the classroom.
He cared whether or not you un-
derstood. This was evidenced by
my FCAT score going up a whole
point in a subject I struggle to
make a "C" in.
I hope he is able to recover
from this problem and will be
able to share his unique gift of
teacher with other struggling
math students like myself.
I could only hope this county
can separate the person from the
problem. We are a kind and lov-
ing community. I hope we can
show compassion to a teacher
who means a lot to us here at
BCMS.

FBI still mum one year after man

complained of beating by deputies


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
One year ago this week, a Mac-
clenny.man complained to the FBI
that a pair of Baker County sher-
iff's deputies violated his civil
rights when they used excessive
force while arresting him.
To date, the federal agency has
not notified the Sheriff's Office
whether it has completed its inves-
tigation of the claim.
Meanwhile, the sheriff's inter-
nal investigation has been com-
pleted and the trial of the deputies'
.accuser, Michael Harvey, has
come and gone.
A Baker County jury in October
found him guilty of resisting an of-
ficer with violence, but acquitted
him on two counts of battery on ai
law enforcement officer.
The results of the internal in-
vestigation were not released
pending the feds' findings.
FBI spokesman Jeff Westcott
has, failed to return calls over the
past several months, including one
on Tuesday.
Chief Chuck Brannan said he is
not aware of any word from the
agency, but added that when FBI
investigations turn up nothing in-
criminatingmthey are often dropped
without fanfare.
Mr. Westcott, in an interview
last year, said as much.
Mr. Harvey, who was wanted
on two felony arrest warrants, was
drinking at Mac's Liquors on
March 19 last year when deputies
Charles Ross and Darrin Whitaker
were told he was in the bar.
Deputy Ross went inside while
Deputy Whitaker waited outside
the door.
Mr. Harvey complied as he was
arrested and the officer led him out
of the bar.,
When they stepped through the
door, however, Mr. Harvey hit

Jewelry, gun

said stolen
Police are looking into the theft
of an estimated $3000 in jewelry
and a .38 caliber pistol from, the
residence of George Rhoden off
St. Mary's Circle in west Mac-
clenny on March 23.
Molly O'Neill reported the theft
that took place between 7:00 am-
9:45 pm. She returned to the home
and noted a garage door and front
door open. She said the house was
locked when she left. /
The jewelry belonged to Ms.
O'Neill and was stored in a box in
a bedroom. The pistol belonged to
Mr. Rhoden and was in a bath-
room.
In another home burglary with
no sign of forced entry, someone
took a laptop computer valued at
$850 from the residence of Kath-
arine Rhoden on E. Ohio in Mac-
clenny.
The theft was also reported on
March 23 and was between 3:30-
4:00 that afternoon.,

Deputy Whitak-r in the chcsi and
tried to run, according to the offi-
cers.
Deputy Ross, who was holding
Mr. Harvey's wrist with one hand
and carrying a flashlight in the
other, said he instinctively swung
at Mr. Harvey as he lunged toward
DepuLi\ Whitaker.
Deputy Ross hit him on the
back of the head with the depart-
ment-issue "mag" flashlight,
which measures about 10 inches.
He then grabbed Mr. Harvey
from behind in a bear hug, lifting
him slightly off the ground.
Mr. Harvey was swinging his
elbows back, hitting the officer nu-
merous times in the head.
At that point, Deputy Whitaker
regained his balance and rushed
.Mr. Harvey. .
Hie tried to hit him with a dis-
abling blow to the neck that would
have rendered his arm momentari-
ly useless.
Deputy Whitaker also was car-
rying a flashlight, a somewhat
smaller one.
Due to Mr. Harvey thrashing
around trying to get free, the offi-
cer said he accidentally hit him on
the head instead the neck.
Eventually the officers were
able to subdue him.
When Mr. Harvey took the wit-
ness stand at his trial, however, he
testified he didn't hit anyone, but
that he was the victim of an unpro-
voked attack by the police.
After being found guilty, he was
sentenced to ten years in prison by
Circuit Judge David Giant.


Had pot

in vehicles
Two traffic stops resulted in
arrests for misdemeanor posses-
sion of marijuana the pastweek.
The evening of March 24, De-
puty William Hilliard stopped a
1993 Oldsmobile driven by Jessica
King, 20, of Jacksonville for fail-
ing to yield ,the fight-of-way at 6th
St. and Ohio.in north Macclenny.
Ms. King had a small plastic
baggie of pot on the seat next to
her and was also ticketed for the
traffic offense.
Passenger Mark Crews, 24, of
Glen kvas arrested on a Baker
County warrant for violating pro-
bation.
John Barber, 18, of Macclenny
was booked on a possession charge
the morning of March 21 after his
speeding 1994 Chevrolet was
stopped on Woodlawn Road near
Mt. Herman Cemetery Road.
Deputy Adam Faircloth search-
ed the vehicle, which he said
smelled of marijuana smoke, and
found a cigarette roller and two
stubs of marijuana cigarettes.
A tip from a student to a teacher
led to the arrest of a 15-year-old
male student at Baker County
High School the same morning.
The student told campus deputy
Traci Benton he purchased a bag
of pot from another student for
$40 and named a suspect.
The officer found a snhall atnlount

City affirms moratorium


pending

BY JIM MCGAULEY
Press Publisher
"I guess I was blindsided by the
groe th \ e all were.:"
Those were the words of Mac-
clenny engineer Frank Darabi dur-
ing a city commission workshop
the evening of March 28 when the
subject was how to deal with the
demands explosive growth will
put on the city's existing \ asie
water (sewage) treatment plant.
"I guess we are were (blind--
sided). I had no idea we'd have
this many come this quick," added
the engineer later in the meeting.
Mr. Darabi, of Gainesville, and
City Manager Gerald Dopson
summoned the city board and
developers with expansion plans in
and near Macclenny to the meet-
ing to take a reading of both
groups on the city's commitments
so far on utility management.
Perhaps the most pressing of
the growth-related costs as they
apply to Macclenny, the issue
revolves around how many
promises the city can make to ac-
commodate developers vying for
utility) ser\ ice.
."I think in the end we'll be
okay. We'll get a permit (to ex-
pand the city's existing sewer
,plant), but you can't make com-
mitments until you get that,"
stressed Mr. Darabi during the
hour-plus session.
Earlier in his presentation, the
engineer noted that six different
developments seek approval for
1989 additional sewer and water
customers. Of those, the city,has
already committed to taking on
538.
53And therein lies the rub.:
The Macclenny Commission
earlier voted to accept develop-
ments outside city limits, but only
on an increased fee- basis with the
likelihood that. eventually they will
be annexed into Macclenny.
Developments inside the cur-
rent limits have been accepted on a
priority basis.
The board this week also agreed
it already accepted by inference
one of those "outside" develop-
pments, some 88 homes on j tract
currently owned b\ Ray Gatlin of
Macclenny and located in north-
east Glen St. Mary.
Mr. Darabi initially rejected the
contention by Mr. Gatlin's attor-
ney Hugh Fish of Macclenny that
the development could proceed
with the assumption of city utili-
ties.
. "We don't have any paperwork
or a check (for the impact fees) so.
we can't include it," the engineer
insisted.
However, at the urging of May-
or Gary Dopson, the commission
agreed it accepted the Gatlin parcel
earlier. The engineer backed off his
position and agreed the develop-
ment, which does not have a name,
be included under the umbrella
covered by existing sewer and
water treatment.
Two proposed developments,
the Blair Nursery project and
Greystone near the Gatlin tract, al-
ready have agreed to pay up front
$4950 impact fees for each new
parcel. The presumption after
Tuesday was the Gatlin property
will do likewise.
Mr. Darabi earlier urged strong-
ly the city collect up-front fees to
offset the cost of a conceivable
doubling of the present sewer

In Memory
of
Brantley Johns
7/7/1964-3/25/2005
The Final Tear
We all have walked rose-strewn
paths and wept tears of joy through the
years.
Then suddenly the dark clouds gath-
er, and we cry, "Dear Lord, dry our
tears."
When days are dark and filled with
pain, and we can't find joy in the little
things. Tears of joy become tiar's of.
sorrow; we become as birds ilh bi o-
ken wings.
The soul that once soared wiih; hap-
piness no longer, hears life's jubilant

A dream we had of holding near,
our little Peyton, who we loved so dear.
We had prayed and in faith believed
all was well, but God's ways are much
higher than our minds can tell'
Little did we know that-the dream
-.ih/t fade, and God in His wisdom,
inotheih t'lioi ce was made.
The journey i'a brief but God had
a plan, and he took our baby to a far
"away land.
As we held him closely to our breast,
we knew that our Savior always knows
best.
Peyton will never know any sorrow
or pain, and one day we'll see him once
again.
Our eyes are set on an eternal goal.

Both teams were shut out 7-0

Amburgey to step down from coaching


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Sports
Saying she is "really ready to retire after 30 years
of coaching," Karla Amburgey confirmed Tuesday
that she is stepping down as the Baker County High
School volleyball and tennis coach.
For now she will continue to teach, but plans to
move to Palm Coast, Fla.
She said she intends to pursue her national certifica-
tion as a teacher. "It takes a solid year of devotion."
The certification will allow her to teach in any state


in the country without having to recertify in each state.
It also would boost her into a higher pay bracket
Chris Armoreda will succeed Amburgey as head
coach for both teams. He was the junior varsity vol-
leyball coach this past season. His wife, Tiffany, will
help him with the teams, but will not be an "official"
assistant coach, he said.
In her three decades of coaching. Amburgey has
worked at schools in West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee, and has "coached just about every sport."
The past season was her third as head coach of vol-
leyball; she has coached tennis for five years.


The final pieces in the NC.AA
basketball puzzle are in place and
if anyone had marked his or her
bracket with this set of Final Four
.teams and put down $20 in Las
Vegas they would be very wealthy
at this point. Who'd have figured?
LSU and UCLA will meet in
one regional final. George Mason
and Florida will meet in the early
game.
Not a single number one seed
made it to the Final Four.
Early on in tournament. Duke,
the overall top seed looked beat-
able and LSU handled them.
LSU looks very strong. They
are a good outside shooting team
and terrific in the paint. The\ beat
Texas A&MN in a last-second
squeaker, lona in a walkaway, and
Texas in an overtime thriller.
They out-rebounded the top re-
bounding team in the nation.
Their opponent. UCLA, has
won more championships than
any other school, but 'as %were
not expected to do much this year.
This is a team that has stumbled
and bumbled its waN into the Fi-.
nal Four. Those are teams that are
ver\ hard to predict because they
seem to ha'e destiny on their
side. :. '
UCLA beat Belmont in easy
fashion and then had a nip and
tuck game w' ith Alabama.The
Bruins managed to get past West
Coast ri'al Gonzaga on a last sec-
ond basket. Then the. faced the
team that I thought might ''in it
all, the might'. Memphis Tigers,
but managed to squeak through
again. They match up pretty well
with the Tigers, though I really
think LSU should handle them.
Connecticut, %which %was most
people's fa%\orite, w.as on schedule
for the Final Four, then met the
surprising George Mason Patriots
of the Colonial League. George -
Mason, a number 11 seed, has
whipped every top team ihe\',e
faced. In a four-game period, the

The Gators have
had the easiest time
of any of their oppo-
nents. Whether that is
a good thing or a bad
is hard to say.

Pats have defeated Michigan
State, North Carolina, Wichita ,
State and Connecticut. .
When you', e beaten teams of
that pedigree, teams that have na-
tional championship banners
hanging from their gym rafters, it
is clear that you are more than a
fluke. George Mason was widely,
scorned and pundits claimed that.
Hofstra, the regular season cham- ;
pion of the Colonial League
should have .gotten the berth in-
stead. Nobody, but nobody, can
scorn the Pats any longer.
They will take on the Florida
Gators, who won their way into
the Final Four with easy victories
over South Alabama, Wisconsin-
Milwaukee, Georgetown and Vil-
lanova. In reality, the Gators have
had the easiest time of any of their
opponents. Whether that is a good,
thing or a bad is hard to say.
The Gators have a team that
could go all the way. They have
excellent outside shooters and a
strong inside game. Al Horford
hasn't gotten the press that
Joakim Noah has generated, but
he is a force on the inside. Noah
has looked every bit the All-
America that he should have been
this season, and NBA scouts are
probably drooling. Add three,
point ace Lee Humphreys and it
would be hard to go against them.

Local teens hit the decks


Skateboarding is premium pastime
By Kelley Lannigan
Press Staff .___


A group. of young men in Mac-
clenny take the recreational sport of
skateboarding pretty seriously.
Most afternoons after school
these guys can be found practicing.
skateboarding tricks and trying to
improve their technique; Over and
over they attempt to master moves
with names such as ollie,, 50-50
grind, kickflip, pop-shove it, front
slide, nose slid and fakie. There are
dozens of tricks and it's soon.appar-
ent that the world of skateboarding
has its own language.,
Skateboarders often pick a name
to distinguish their group from oth-
ers and will'give each other individ-
ual nicknames, too. The Macclenny
-group calls itself Artificial.
"We wanted something differ-
ent," one of the skateboarders said.
"So one of us saw this word written
somewhere and thought 'Hey", this
would be a good name.' That's how'v
we became Artificial." .
Other skateboard groups around
town sport such handles as White-
out, Lowlife and,.Hat. Obviously,
some thought' ahd creative ity go into
finding just the right name the group
identifies with.
Skateboarding teams often com-
pete. If a skateboarder is exception-
ally gifted, it's possible to become
part of a profes-
sional team, trav-
eling to perform
in skateboarding
exhibitions and ..- .. ;
being signed to en-
dorse products. ,
which can be very -
lucrative. -
According to the
guys in Artificial.
Gremmie's Board
Shop on SR 121 in
Macclenny will be
sponsoring a compe-
tition among local
skateboarding groups
sometime this sum-
mer. Artificial wants
to be ready to com-
pete.
Paul Demko, father
to skateboarders Mike '"-
and Dan Demko, is
very supportive of
Artificial. When com-
pared to the many neg- ..
ative influences that can
attract unsupervised .-
teens these days, he sees
skateboarding as a much
better alternative. '
"It gives them a way :
to channel their energy and learn
some skills. It teaches them to focus
and work toward a goal useful
traits ift this competitive world,"
says the elder Demko.
"These guys have rules, too," he
continues. "They are not supposed
to take their boards into the streets
and they've been instructed to be
mindful of pedestrians. If someone
comes along on the sidewalk, they
are supposed to stop and get out of
the way."
Dakota Carpenter, whose father
was also an avid skateboarder at one
time, built a stationary quarter pipe
ramp and several other smaller
ramps for the guys to practice their
moves, especially their boardslides.
One at a time they glide toward
the ramp, roll upward, turn the
board at a 90 degree angle, slide

the top of the ramp, then
head into a downward
descent. Depending on
the individual's skill lev-
el, board and skater make it smooth-
ly through the maneuver. or they
loose it and have to start over. The
ramp is only a few feet tall so there
is little danger of getting seriously
injured in a fall.
The skateboarders figure if they
get hurt, they're being careless or
not paying attention.
When the guys are together they
are always attempting moves, even
when they aren't' rolling freely
along. As they wait for a turn to do a
boardslide on the ramp, they prac-
tice kick flips or ollies.
A basic ollie is the workhorse.

cult tricks. And the tricks are impor-
tant.
"Yep, says Mike Demko, with a
grin. "Do the tricks and get the
chicks."
The 50-50 grind is another fav-
orite move. The skateboarder
attempts to slide his board along a
surface edge on the trucks of the
board instead of the wheels. The
trick's name comes from having the
wheels half on one side and half on
the other as you "grind" along on
the surface edge. This is the move so
often seen being performed along
the coping (top edge) of an empty
cement pool pit at a skating park.
Skateboarding can present the
challenge of maintaining one's dig-
nity at times.
Carpenter remembers when he
botched the transition between two
moves and unexpectantly twisted
his ankle. Mostly unhurt except for
the ankle, he tucked his board under
his arm and began limping home. A
deputy came along about that time,
slowed and rolled down his car wid-
ow.
"What happened, son?" asked the
deputy. "You bust your tail?"'
When asked how they got into
skateboarding, Artificial's members
have some definite reasons.
"It's great being part of a group,"
says Robert Martin, originally from
Michigan but now residing in Mac-
clenny. "I skateboarded in Michi-
gan, but I didn't do any tricks. Then
I saw (fellow skater) Jessie Mays
doing all these cool moves and I
said, 'Hey, IT ant to learn that.,'
.Watch-
.-. ing ,and
3,t'. 9be:in:g


involved with Artificial has person-
ally challenged me to go to the next
level. I've come a long way in just a
month."
"You form great friendships,"
says Carpenter. "Everybody helps
each other. You learn by doing in
skateboarding and in a group you
have lots of people instructing and
encouraging each other. You learn
fast that way. And it's great exer-
cise."
When asked about the board
itself, the skateboarders are full of
information.
A skateboard has three main
components: the deck (board, usual-
ly made of laminated wood) the
trucks (supports 'which hold the
wheels) and the wheels. Wheels on
the first skateboards in the early
1960's were made from baked clay.
Urethane is the material used today.
A board can be bought already
assembled or custom created by the
skateboarder. Grip tape is put on the
surface of the deck to help with trac-
tion .and shoes designed especially
for gripping the deck are now on the
market.
Regular tennis .shoes just aren't
really made for skateboarding.
SSome of the decks most highly
desired by Artificial bear the name
of the companies that manufacture
them such as Element, Birdhouse,
Golden Darkstar and ZooYork.
Birdhouse is a company started
Sby skating phenomenon Tony
Hawk, who at the age of thirteen
was :a professional skateboarder,
going on to become the greatest
skateboarder in the world.
Hawk invented many of the
tricks now associated with the sport.
He broke the world record for the
900 degree turn, which is an air-
borne two and a half board rotation.
That's probably the hardest move
there is, agree all the members, of
Artificial.
Artificial wants the town of Mac-
clenny to consider building a skate-
boarding, park or at least an area
where they could freely go about
their preferred pastime. The closest
park is Kona Skate Park in Jack-
sonville, the first of its kind built in
the United States. '
Kona features a .variety of cours-
es with ramps of differing degrees
of difficulty, plus the empty pool
pits so beloved by skateboarders.
A designated place to skateboard
would d be so awesome, the '~tys
agree. They say they have heard that
the local YMCA has given some
consideration to building a skate
park, but all focus seems to be on
the new swimming pool at the
moment.
In the meanwhile, the enthusiasm
of Artificial can't be dampened,
even if the group doesn't have ac-
cess to a specially designed skate
park. That won't stop them from
pursuing the sport they love. Or
from being optimistic about a skate
park in Macclenny. They know if
you want something bad enough, it
might just happen.

The Baker County Press March


'Upscaling,


downtown


acclenny


By Jared Wilkerson

Pete Osgard is going to build
condos in downtown Macc-
lenny.
Read that last line again if
you need to.
When I first heard the idea,
the realtor in me said some-
thing that fell roughly along the
lines of "hot diggity-dog!" The
lifelong Baker County resident
in me, however, responded
with something more akin to an
articulated and clearly skepti-
cal "whaaaaaaaaat?"
Pete Osgard, the owner of
Calendar's Deli and Pizzeria at
the corner of US 90 and
College, said in a recent inter-
view he's all for updating down-
town Macclenny in accordance
with the current needs of a
growing population. He also
wants to keep it stylish.
The planned condo-s, in the
two-story J.C. Yarborough and
Sons Building at the corner of
College and Railroad, are part
of his master plan.
There was no pressing on
past it. My split feelings had to
be reconciled. So, I found
myself listening intently to Iete
as he went over the. plaris and-
explained now and why Mac-
clenny was in fact ready for
condominiums right smack in
the middle of downtown.
Initially, I heard through the
pipeline there was a project in
the works that sounded pretty
interesting and i. wanted to
-know more about it. When I got
to Calendar's, I walked up to
the register and asked where I
might find the owner, expecting
to then be, led back to a plush
office down the hall.
instead, a girl working be-
hind the counter led me out-
side to the backyard behind the
pizzeria's dining area and sim-
ply pointed. My eyes instinc-
tively followed the direction of
her fingertip until 1 saw a man
in worn-out jeans and a sweat-
soaked T-shirt. He was walking
across the yard, carrying a
somewhat Hefty bag full of
sand over to a little work area
along the wall.
I immediately guessed that
the sandbag was not the first
of them since he was pretty
well covered with the stuff. He
was the only guy out there
working, so I figured this must
be the man I was looking for.
"Pete?" I asked with a rising
tone at the end, still not sure
this was the right guy. In my
business clothes, complete
with a pretty snazzy tie, I


i-
offered my hand to him and
introduced myself.
He mentioned the obvious
dirt and sweat on his hands
and respectfully declined the
handshake until he could wash'
up, which I admit made us both
pretty happy at the time.,
This was not at all the vision
I had in mind when I had first
walked in expecting to meet a
man I knew had started 37
successful franchises in vari-
ous cities all across the coun-
try.
Peter Qsgard is an entrepre-
neur in the truest sense of the
word. He knows the value of
some good, honest work. He
expanded his operation to
Baker County because some
time back he had forecasted
the enormous potential here.
"The growth for this area is
coming," Pete predicts. "Just
look at what's happening to
Jacksonville. It has to spread
out to somewhere and it can't
go 'any farther north into
Georgia or toward.the southern
coastal cities. They're already
packed.
"Thanks to the coastline,
that just leaves growth to the
west. Take a look along the 1-10
corridor and you won't find
another city quite like Mac-
clenny. Macclenny is simply
unique. And as far as growth
potential goes, it has the infra-
structure in place, the water
and sewer utilities, the fire
department, you name it."
Pete says that he first came
out here for financial purposes
and over time got to know the


people and subsequently fell in
love with the town.
Throughout the course of
operating the deli and the
pizzeria, Pete's initial interest
in the historic section of
Downtown Macclenny has
evolved into somewhat of a
passion. Just to talk to the man
about his vision for what the
downtown. area could be
restored to is inspiring. He
expounded about ideas for
making the main drag into a


prospering town center, yet still
retaining that quaint small town
feeling when 'one walks the
streets.'
Pete Osgard has lived many
of the country's major cities. At
first, when he started listing
them, I tried to take notes.
Somewhere about halfway
through the list, I decided to
just scribble "etc" on my
notepad.
"Basically, I've lived in a lot
of major bustling cities, so I

know why it is that people
come here. Macclenny is a
beautiful place, although some
people don't seem to want to
admit that... sometimes I just
want to yell out, 'you're beauti-
ful, Macclenny, admit it!'" he
added with a chuckle.
When I asked Pete to tell me
more about his thoughts on the
various directions the historic
area could take in the near
future, he said, "Well, the
change is coming one way or
the other... The people here
have to decide to either stand
up and direct that change and
make the downtown area
something to be proud to pass
on to the next generation, or
leave it up to the outside
investors," whom he implies
would likely want to come here
and turn Macclenny into anoth-
er metro area.
Pete also noted the reluc-
tance of some downtown prop-
erty owners to move forward
with the idea of doing some-
thing productive with their
buildings.
He implied they would be the
ones outside investors would
eventually use leverage on in
order to snap up the property
without regard to the preserve"
tion of the town.
On the other hand, he did
credit other members of the
Downtown Revitalization Com-
mittee such as Danny Lamb,

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, March 30, 2006 Section B Page Two

Upscaling downtown Macclenny


(From Page 1)
whose building is remarkably
stylish for a local car dealer-
ship, and Jim McGauley, who
has just completed extensive
work in restoring The Baker
County Press building. Several
others like Ed Barber are doing
their part to ensure the small
town look lives on.
According to Pete, who
knows something about doing
research before making busi-
ness decisions, the condos will
appeal to people in several dif-
ferent walks of life.
For example, elderly folks
who have lived in Baker County.
for a long time and have all
their family and friends here,
find themselves in a tough sit-
uation when they reach a point
in their lives where it is no
longer feasible for them to
maintain a large yard or even
to drive into town for the things
they need.
They can either move into a
retirement home, or pick up
their lives and find a nice
worry-free condo in Jackson-
ville. Not really much of a
choice if your life is here.,
Young professionals who are
at a point in their lives where
their chief concerns away from
work include a more relaxed,
convenient and carefree life-
style would also feel the draw.
of a downtown condominium.
Pete also stressed the all-
too-familiar trend among many
of the young people who go off
to college, get degrees and
then realize that they have no
real options pulling them back
toward Macclenny.
Most of them are not at a
point at which they can afford
to buy a home here and the
opportunities for decent local
rentals are not yet abundant.
Many of them end up settling
,Jrn one of the larger cities and
don t ever quite make it back
home.
Pete's plans on pricing time-
lines should also appeal to
local investors.
Just like most other condo
developments, purchasing one
prior to the completion of reno-
vations to the Yarborough


Building will run into the mid
$150's. By the time the con-
dos are finished' that price will
be closer to the $170's for the,
remaining units.
But what about the culture
shock associated with the fact
that there will still be CONDOS
in downtown Macclenny? I
wouldn't worry too much about
that.
Pete described in great
detail what he will be doing
with the building. The exterior
is to be restored to exactly the
way it looked when Mr.
Yarborough ran his gas supply
and appliance store there
decades ago. That includes
restoration of the old sign still
visible through the newer coats
of paint currently on the south
wall.
There will be six units fitted
into the roughly 7400 square
foot building each of which
will be about 1100 square
feet, depending on the unit's
location. Second-story units
will even have an upstairs loft.
All plans are currently slated to
have two bedrooms, but Pete
says that those who buy before


ll--L 51


C.


construction have the option of
requesting a one bedroom unit
with the extra space distrib-
uted by way of larger rooms.
Each condo will come with
two reserved parking spaces
inside a gated lot adjacent to
the building. Plans are already
in the works for establishing
more parking areas along
Railroad Avenue, just across
the street.
Pete pointed out that the
building is next door to his
places of business and he has
no intentions of putting any-
thing in that will detract from
the appeal of his own shops.:
"You have to give people a
good product. It's as simple as
that. I don't build cheap. I
wouldn't try to sell a place that
I wouldn't want to live in my-
self."
Sandra Rhoden, with Wat-
son Realty Corp and a Macc-
lenny native all of her life, will
be handling all of the details
regarding selling the units to
prospective buyers, and had
this to say about the project:
"I am excited- about the
restoration of downtown Macc-


lenny and very proud to be a
part of this project. Personally,
I think the young professionals
and retired couples in our com-
munity will be looking forward
to this."
After seeing the plans, tak-
ing a look around the building,
and spending a good amount
of time throwing a few clever
"what ifs" at Pete, the Baker
County resident in me felt pret-


ty good about the move.
After all, it's pretty much like
he said: "Big town, small
town...people all over are basi-
cally the same. They all need
food, shelter, and clothing."
For the time being, I guess
Pete is content sticking to help-
ing our local folks out with just
the first two basic needs. Good
thing, too...I don't think that
"sand-covered sweaty T-shirt"


look is gonna take off anytime
soon.

For more information on Mr.
Osgard's plan for the develop-
ment of these condominiums
and their availability, please
direct all questions to Sandra
Rhoden of Watson Realty Corp

Interest rate effects on the market


By Jared Wilkerson
Most people are aware inter-
est rates carry drastic conse-
quences for buyers in the hous-
ing market. What many people
fail to realize is that often times
these rates have an even
greater impact on a seller's bot-
tom line. The following is a gen-
eralized illustration of how inter-
est rates affect a seller's ability,
to proceed with their moving,
plans.
- Monthly payments with any
lender are'based either entirely
or in part on a system called
amortization: basically, the pay-,
ment is composed of at least
two parts the principle portion,
based on the amount of the


AN rs1P


loan, plus interest. The interest
portion is,.of course, based on
the interest rate. The lower the
interest rate, the higher the dol-
lar amount of the payment that
actually goes toward paying
down the principle of the loan,
and vice versa.
As interest rates rise, so
does the monthly payment as-,
soqiated with the, loan. In sim-
' ple terms,it costs moreO rmioney
to borrow money.
Here's where it gets a bit
more complicated. Let's as-
sume that a buyer in the hous-
ing market can afford a monthly
-mortgage payment of $1200
and nothing more. At a prime
rate (implying good credit)

based on current figures, that
.payment amount will secure a
loan of roughly $185,000,
which could vary slightly from
'lender to lender and program to
program. Add in the buyer's,
available monies for a down
payment and that is the
"amount of house"' the buyer
can afford to purchase..
If interest rates rise by one
percent, that means that less of
the $1200'will be going toward
paying off the principle portion
and more of the payment will go
toward paying off the interest.
In order to avoid going above
the $1200 payment limit, the
buyer will have to start out at a
lower principle loan balance. In

other words, purchase a cheap-
er home.
Here's where the sellers
come in: Buyers don't want a
cheaper home. They want the
home that suits their needs
and, more importantly to buy-
ers, they want the home that
they want. That's human na-
ture. Since rising interest rates
equally affect all buyers requir-
ing financing, and worker's
salaries don't immediately rise
alongside the interest rates, all
buyers are now able to afford
slightly lower priced homes. The
sellers still need to sell their
homes in order to complete,
their own moves.
Now, however, the buyers can
only afford to offer $170,000
for the same house that would
have gone for $185,000 just
one percent ago at the $1200
payment. It's either that or no
one moves until rates go back
down.
Anyone who, remembers rates
20 years ago can attest that
this last option is not what hap-
pens even during periods of in-
credibly' high interest rates.
What happens is that in time,
sellers must accept lower sales
prices for their homes in order
to move. Even sellers who are
in no hurry to sell and could af-
ford to wait for a more well-off
' buyer will still be brought down


by their neighbors' home prices.
This is basically one of the.
major causes for that horrible,
dare I even mention it, 'bubble
burst" that is being talked about.
in the news today.
The lesson to be learned
from this illustration is that re-


gardless of whether the market
is deemed to be a "seller's mar-
ket" or a "buyer's market," any-
time that is good for the buyer
is most likely great for the seller
if it accompanies a stretch of
low interest rates.
