UNIV FLA GAINESVILLE FL :-'F61 ArresL theft of log trailer in late '05 | Among trio of dated cases solved recently ear, Vol. 50 Thursday April 6, 2006 Macclenny, Florida 500 Group forming to locate COA site BY NMICHAEL RINKER Press Staff A number of older theft cases, one dating back to November, 2005, were solved with a trio of arrests the past two w eeks. Alberto Torres, a 39-year-old truck driver from Lake Butler, allegedly stole a $17,000 logging trailer from a storage lot west of Sanderson during a weekend in early November, painted it and resold it to another pulpwood haul- ing company. According to Lt. Chuck Brannan of the sheriff's department, a break in the case came when an employ- ee of the original owner, Steven Hardee of Lawtey, spotted the trail- er on March 17 and called the Florida Highway Patrol to investi- gate. Police learned it was registered as a 1973 model trailer by Mr. Tor- res shortly after it disappeared from a lot owned by Anderson- Columbia Paving west of the US 90 and 1-10 interchange. In reality, the trailer is much newer than that and bore several modifications made by Mr. Hardee. When spotted in Jacksonville, it was blue in color and had been painted from the original green. FHP also found the vehicle number had been modified. Mr. Torres' original story was he purchased the trailer in November for $3000 from an unknown man in Live Oak, who originally sought to pawn it. He bought it because he ,wanted to get into the wood haul- ing business and said he altered the color to match a truck. An investigation revealed Mr. Torres registered the trailer in his name as the older model on Nov- ember 7. shortly after it was re- ported missing. Further, he sold it to Byrd Trucking for,$6000 in early March, and could not explain to investigators why the price was so far below market value. Mr. Hardee purchased it from a Lawtev man for $12,000 a year ago, said Lt. Brannan. Fellow in- vestigator David Bryant also worked on the case. Due to several such inconsisten- cies, Mr. Torres %%as charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property. In other dated cases, Danielle Combs, 27, of Sanderson was charged with stealing and pawning a $500 digital camera belonging to Anthony Gray of Macclenny. The camera and a check were reported taken from Mr. Gray's res- idence in Owens Acres on January 8. Investigator Brannan said a check of tickets at Duval Gun and Pawn in Macclenny revealed Ms. Combs took it there on January 16 and was given $50 for it. (Page two please) County manager at $100K?

Dwight L. Green, 65, was not wearing a helmet when his southbound Harley-Davidson slammed into the left side of a 1998 Pontiac driven by Dedra Carrington, 34, of Glen St. Mary just after 5:00 pm. The impact catapulted him over the 'chicle about 30 feet and he landed in the inside lane near a median. The Florida Highway Patrol said Ms. Carrington was alone in the Pontiac and leaving Baker Square Shopping Center attempting to turn north through the median onto 121. She apparently did not see the moto- rycle in the outside lane. Ms. Carrington sustained neck and other injuries when the driver side door of the Pontiac caved in with the impact, and she was taken to Fraser Memorial Hospital by a second rescue unit ' summoned from the Sanderson station. The Macclenny unit transported Mr. Green to the Emergency Op- erations Center off US 90 to meet the Shands helicopter. Macclenny Fire Chief . Buddy Dugger said his department was notified ',- later that evening Mr. Green died.

Baker County Commissioners and Council on Aging board members agreed on April 4 to form a search committee to find land on which to build a ne'w senior center. The two sides met in a work- shop Tuesday afternoon to discuss the long-needed and much-antici- pated replacement for the current dilapidated COA building in down- town Macclenny. Board president Barbara Yar- borough said the COA board want- Y 1 ed to find out from the commis- sioners their ideas on the new facil- Si.', what role they would play and $ what they wanted the board to do. V COA executive director Mary .. Baxla said the agency "didn't want f? to be presumptuous and start look- ing without asking." NMs. Yarborough asked the cum- Smissioners if they had a location in mind. S "I'm not a director." said com- V mission chairman Alex Robinson. "Where do y'all want to put it?" The impetus for the meeting was Walgreens agreeing to purchase the 6- old county health department prop- erty at the northeast corner of Sixth _ and Lowder Streets. The food and drug giant will pa% A $1.5 million for the property, and expects to open a store later this year. County officials had promised that proceeds from the sale %would be put toward the new senior cen- ter. S At Tuesday's workshop. how ev- " er, each side had a different inter- pretation of that fiscal promise. In the middle of a discussion -e about potential locations for the center, Mr. Robinson said the COA sA wouldn't necessarily get "the full amount of money from the sale." The COA representatives wore a collective look of puzzlement and apprehension as Bob Lambright. i Ms. Yarborough and Budd' Dug- ger each expressed a different inter- pretation. Their recollection of the promise %Was that all the funds from the sale would go toward the center. Chairman Robinson said he re- membered the commission dis- cussing giving the COA $500,000 to $600,000. Ms. Yarborough said she didn't recall specific figures being dis- cussed. "I didn't know y'all put a cap on it," she said. Commissioner Gordon Crews said his take on the issue is that the county will use whatever funds necessary to build the center. County and agency officials are hoping to get various grants to help pay for the facility, because it will also be used as a an emergency shelter. COA's Tonnie Blakely also said' it should include an Alzheimer's day care facility, .which may also draw government grants. s "If it's all paid for by the state, I'm not going to put the sale pro- r ceeds into an account for the COA," Mr. Crews said, adding however that the county will do -nd what it takes. gh The search committee, to be ngh chaired by Commissioner Mark nto Hartley, will include a representa- tive each from the City of Macclen- cr- ny and the Town of Glen St. Mary, ci- Ms. Baxla, COA financial director Kacie Kennedy, Mr. Lambright and go two senior citizens. Jte Commissioner Fred Raulerson as suggested the committee determine an the size of the building and the acreage needed, then look for the location.

It messes up our communication skills, and one need look only at the ongoing debate over illegal im- migrants for evidence. People are confused enough about the issue (another oiord - "issue" that's overused) without advocates on both sides of the de- bate clouding things up with ri- diculous verbiage. mExhibit A: the term "'undocu- mented workers." Rubbish! They are illegal aliens or "people who have broken our laws entering this country." Such terms are born of the desire of politicians and others in govern- ment (the academic establishment certainly included) not to offend anyone. Sometimes you just gotta offend people so obvious are the rights and wrongs of a situation. Take the illegal immigration epi- demic that has been going on at least two decades. Most of the illegals are from Mexico and most are willing to do the menial and sometimes back- breaking work that we think is beneath us. That's why they're here, some 12 million of them, and that's why a lot of people want thern to stay, though they'll give lip service to the other side of the debate. What incensed many of us the past week were the images of pro- testers waving Mexican flags dur- ing large street demonstrations against tightening the borders and cracking down on people who are illegally here. Some of them chose the occa- siOn to claim that California, New Mexico and Arizona, where the porous borders make illegals a real problem, rightfully belong to Mex- ico anyway. The human wave of illegals are, so to speak, quiet ar- mies invading to take back their original soil. Interesting. Maybe they haven't been in the States that long, but it's long enough for them to catch on to the fact that "political correctness" prevents anyone in a position of authority to say what they really think about absurd behave ior like this. The danger. lurking.beh-ind a desire not to offend one's race or culture is that newly arrived immi- grants, legal or otherwise, are not motivated to assimilate into their new culture. Such has happened in France, where everyone was so afraid to offend the Muslim population that it perpetuates as a sub-culture apart from the French. The result? They don't feel a part of the country, and as e% i- denced by the riots earlier this year, they have little respect for France's laws or the property of Frenchmen. Such is the case all over western Europe, where governments are now realizing they have a monster in their midst, one they have been coddling for a generation. SHow does-one prevent this? One tosses out the :politicallj-?' correct." Sure, the first one or two generations of immigrants cling to customs and languages of the native culture. Our institutions need to encour- age assimilation into our culture. That means we speak English, we begin teaching history again, %we make sure newly arri ed people are familiar %with our form of gov- ernment, our courts, our system of laws. If that means abandoning the "correct" behavior and speech we are so obsessed with, so be it. MY SIDE OF THE MATTER * 4-. President Bush is in Cancun, Mexico this week for a summit with Mexican president Vincente Fox. The two are discussing trade, illegal immigration and other pressing issues. Most of the conference has been hush-hush, but some information has been leaking out. Your intrepid investigative journalist has his own methods of culling informa- tion, gleaned from many years of searching out the big story for the readership of the Press. In my constant search for the illusive "scoop" I have run across, through methods of my own, President George \V. Bush's per- sonal diary. I have edited it of course, because it is very personal, but here are some excerpts that show the high le\el, serious issues being discussed at the Cancun summit. Friday Excited as all get out about my trip to Mexico. Haven't had a chance to practice my Span- ish since my last campaign visit to Miami. I always love going to for- eign countries like Mexico and Miami. Hola, my Alexicano ihom- bres. Later Friday I decided to lea\e Air.'Force Obe at hore.Jfo'f this trip. Instead 'Fbrbught the USS Missouri out of mothballs and refitted it as Navy One, my float- ing cruise ship. Heck, if everything goes well, we can save the taxpay- ers some money by renting it out to spring breakers and high school seniors. Ali Senorita Laura gave me some stick about the wardrobe I had packed. She said my "Party "till You Puke in Cancun" t-shirt is not appropriate. I hope she'll let me take the sombrero I picked up in Nuevo Laredo during that "summit" on gambling last year. Saturday morning Man, what a great choice I made about taking Navy One. First thing this morning when I woke up I went to the bridge and gave myself a 21-gun salute with those big 16-inch guns. You can't do that on Air Force One. Well, you can, but last time I tried I strafed a Wal-Mart and a Safeway outside of Emporia, Kansas. That was a bit of Snafit, as they say on Navy One. Later Saturday morning The breakfast buffet was okay. but I think I like the one on the Carnival Fantasy better. I wonder if I can hire their chef. Oh, yeah, and that guy who does the ice sculpture of the dolphins and stuff. I think an ice sculpture of Dick Cheney would be a nice touch for "Fiesta Night" on the Lido deck. Saturday afternoon Woo hoo! Me and the twins went water skiing off the fantail. I had the cap- tain kick this baby up to 21 knots and I'm here to tell you, when I cut across that big %wake on my skis it was almost as good as kick- ing John Kerry's butt in Nov- ember. Sunday afternoon. Cancun - We're docked. I hated getting off the boat, but Laura wanted to buy a handbag in the straw market and the twins were hot about trying some drink called a Cancun Comet. Sunday night Whoa! This , NIlexican waterhas kicked mry butt.,.. ' lan't stay out dfthe restroom and - the press won't leave me alone. They were camped outside the restroom at the conference hotel. It got so bad I almost told Dick Cheney to pretend he was quail hunting. Anyway, on my tenth trip to the john, Helen Thomas asked me how I felt. I don't want to tell you how bad I felt, but I put on a brave face and gave her a thumbs up and a "Mission Accomplished." Monday morning Laura is no fun. I was going for the dip in the hotel pool but mi senorita stopped me before I left the room and made me change my swimsuit. She didn't like my Speedo with the big presidential seal on the rear. Later Monday morning Vin- cente Fox is being a pain in my tail. He objects to my guest worker program. Vincente seems to think that when 1 mentioned guest work- ers that I meant letting thousands of illegal immigrants get tempo- rary legal status for 3-5 years. That's not what I meant at all. I meant 40 or 50 guests in the apple orchards of my Crawford, Texas ranch when harvest time comes. Monday afternoon Vincente and I do sort of see eye to eye on terrorists, though what we call ter- rorists are a little different. I call terrorists those radical Arab-types. Vincente calls terrorists members of his opposing political party. Karl Rove likes the idea of that. but I don't think that would fly with the liberal media. I'm having enough trouble with a little thing like wiretaps. Monday evening Had some quality time with the twins this evening. They have grown up into fine young ladies. I am so proud of them. Who'd of thought they could win the tag team jello wrestling at a club called Mexicali Rose. They handled those two rough looking Mexican girls with no trouble at all. Tuesday night Had a real good meal tonight.. 1pt to try out my Spanish, too. Though they-did. give me a funny look when I said, Yo quiero Taco Bell? It wasn't Taco Bell, but it w\as pretty darned good. I can't wait to get back on the boat tomorrow. I got a message today that the Marines drafted the chef on the Carnival Fantasy for the next two weeks and that we got a real nice ice sculpture of Dick Cheney in a duck blind on the table of the Princess deck. Maybe I'll try to cut this summit thing short tonight and get a head start home. MORE LETTERS ON THE CARTOON Wantss supor op new, Newvsvaer owves teachers Cartoon was ,,-.,SDA animalID sc -e, at mi ddle school an apology Dear Editor: First let me say I enjoy reading the Press, but the March 20 edition disturbed me and my middle school student. I have three children in the Bak- er County school system and each morning I am confident they are in great hands. I think the cartoon in the news- paper was absolutely uncalled for. What the paper did was blame every teacher in the middle school for what one teacher did. I have dealt with and am still dealing with elementary, intermedi- ate and middle schools, and have never had anything bad to say about any of them. . Every one of the teachers my children have fiad were great and really cared for the kids. The teacher in question taught one of my children and I still find the cartoon very offensive, and I am sure there are at least a few teachers and parents who agree with me, We see on the news about teachers who abuse their authority in all different forms (assaults, sex crimes, etc.). In Duval County they are worried about weapons, threats, rapes, and shootings near school, and don't forget about the two boys who to this day have not been found after being allowed to leave school grounds unsuper- vised. So things could be much worse. What that middle school teacher did may not have been right, but now this is fueling rumors and sus- picions about other teachers. Once the situation was know n, appropri- ate action was taken. I think the paper owes every teacher still employed at Baker County Middle Sc'iool an apology. To all the other Baker County teachers who have to deal with nu- merous children all day keep up the good work! The newspaper can publish its funny/offensive car- toons, but in my opinion our teach- ers are doing an awesome job. SHIRLEY KRAtUSSE Sanderson Appreciates the support Dear Editor: I would like to thank all of those Who wrote letters and called the school expressing their opinion on the cartoon printed (March 20) in your newspaper depicting a middle school teacher. As I read the letters and listened to their comments,: it reminded me how fortunate I am, along with my fellow educators, to work in this county and have the opportunity to be given educational stewardship over so many wonderful students. DAVID 0. DAVIS, Principal Baker County Middle School tasteless and unprofessional Dear Editor: I graduated from the Baker' County school system in 1998. I saw the cartoon in the March 20 edition of the Press and I was very upset. I had so many good teachers in my 13 years that I can not even be-, gin to name them all. They taught me character, as well as subject matter. The\ were concerned about' me educationally and personally, and I never once saw any of them do anything out of the way or un- ethical. For a cartoon to suggest that teachers lay behind their desks smoking pot and popping pills is tasteless and.unprofessional. In the future you should take in- to consideration the type of mes- sage you are sending to the com- munity. AMANDA CARLTON Macclenny Your opinion counts... Send us a letter -and sign it Dear Editor: Baker and surrounding counties have many horses and horse peo- ple. I love to read about the activi- ties of the 4-H riding club. The US Department of Agricul-' ture has come up with a plan threatening our horses and our way of life. It is called NAIS--National Animal Identification System. It is already being implemented in Texas, and a 4-H leader there is having to sell 'her horses as this program makes it impossible for her to afford them any longer. NAIS will affect everyone who owns one horse, one cow, one goat or one pig (pot-belly or otherwise). AnN one with one of the above ani- mals will be required to have a 7' digit premises ID number and each animal will be given a 17 dig- it number. Guess who will pay for this tagging and ID-ing? The owner, of course!! In addition, every time a horse show6 is attended, you and the neighbors go on a trail ride, you trailer the horse to the vet, this must be reported to some govern- ment entity within 24 hours. To find out more about this gov- ernment intrusion into our lives and what to do about it, please go to http://NoNAIS.org. The full im- pact of this program will be ex- plained there. If you have no computer, I am in the phone book and will be glad to mail you a copy of my informa- tion. Happy trails, at least for awhile. PATRICIA A. CORNELL, Sanderson RENTALS OR SALES .

Prepared earlier by by. the fi- nance and facilities departments, members review ed estimates of how each of the proposed dozen or so new developments % ill impact count\ schools. Superintendent Paula Barton re- peated a warning she has given in other meetings on the same topic: the district will not be able to keep up \w ith enrollment grow th from ne\\ subdi\ isions unless substantial infusion of funds become available. The district's recently established $1500 impact fee %\ill fall short of \ hat is needed for new, schools and staff to man them. she advises. Simply by adding children from proposed developments like Grey- stone near Glen St. Mary and Blair Nurseries south of NMacclenny, area schools could be pushed to near or be\ ond capacity. Follow ing the workshop, the board re-assembled for its regular first-of-the-month meeting, this \eek at the Talor Church. Among the items reviewed there was rene\\al of accreditation of the Baker (C'ount\ system b\ the South- ern Association of Colleges and Schools. The accreditation is good for several years, and signifies the county complies with recommend- ed le\ els of ser ice in both facilities and classrooms, employee training and other policies. Baker County is one of 37 of the 67 school districts in Florida to earn accreditation, and one of but a fe\w among smaller districts. The board also approved a bulky "educational plant sure\.'" a highly detailed picture of present facilities with. an eye on future needs. The sure\ s are conducted e\er\ fi, e years and submitted to the Depart- ment of Education for review. Results are also used to make recommendations for changes on a district level as w, ell as for indi' id- ual schools. The board also ,oted to amend and restate its Premium Only Plan. Initially adopted by the district in 1990, the amended plan allows district employees and other par- ticipating employers to choose be- tceen cash compensation and health care coverage under med-: ical plans approved by the district. Under section 125 of the Inter- nal Revenue Code of 1986, the Premium Only Plan. as amended. will allow eligibility for emplo - ees' health benefits to be excluded from their income for federal in- come tax purposes.

PHOTO BY PArrY NUNLEY Annual Chamber drive nets 31 new members There was a great celebration at the Baker County Chamber of, Commerce on Monday noon then the volunteers gathered at 20 East Macclenny Ave. to learn the latest count on the membership drive. The strong competition bet-ween Joel's Brain Gang captain Joel, Barber of Gibson McDonald Fur- niture, and Shawn's Buffed Beau- ties captain Shawn Eastman of Baker County Family YMCA kept the drive exciting. The chamber Two stopped with teenager, pot in vehicle Two Jackson ille men ended up charged with misdemeanor drug possession counts and contributing to the delinquency of a minor fe- male after their car was stopped in the earl\ morning hours of April 1. Deputy John Hardin said he stopped a 1981 Nissan driven by Randall Smith, 20, just after 2:00 because of faulty rear lighting. -He detected the odor of mari- juana smoke inside the Nissan and -t he-driver-produced se-xtral partial- ly smoked "'roaches" or pot ciga- rettes. He said passenger Carl Bundy had a plastic bag of marijuana in a pants pocket, and a pipe and roll- ing papers were also found in the vehicle. A 15-year-old Macclenny fe- male was with the two, and re- leased to parents. The two males were also charg- ed with having drug paraphernalia. Later in the evening of April 1, the same deputy% arrested a stum- bling, disoriented 17-year-old for misdemeanor possession of mari- juana and rolling papers. Deputy Hardin said he spotted the Baker High student walking near South Boulevard and Griss- holm in south. Macclenny just after -7:00. Upon questioning, the youth produced a small amount of pot rolled in a dollar bill, and later a small plastic bag containing mari- juana. increased their membership by 31 new members. That brings the new total of- chamber members to 255. Other volunteer callers included Tammy Norman and Lois ,Williams of Wal-Mart Distribution Center. Darlene Canada\ of Tim Prep, Christina Crews of V\Star Credit Union, Sam Kitching of Northeast Florida State Hospital and Dr. James Cardozo of Baker County Chiropractic Center.

Driver, are' arrested for possession A Macclenny man %wanted on two warrants was charged with felony drug possession the after- noon of April 2 after he was con- fronted by two county deputies at Lowder and 9th St. in the south city. Maurice Graham, 25, and a pas- senger in his 1999 Oldsmobile. 19- sear-old Dominique Lee, also of Macclenny. were arrested on the drug charge after Ms. Lee exited the car and tossed a plastic bag to the ground. According to Deputy Sgt. Michael Cres, the bag contained . four rocks of crack cocaine and a pill that was unidentified. Mr. Graham was stopped because he w\as %wanted on war- rants for violating probation and failure to paN child support. Ms. Lee %%as listed as a student at the count\ 's Alternatihe School. In another felony arrest for hav- ing crack, Deputy Curtis Ruise said he had to twice -use a- Taser- gun to subdue a fleeing Mark Bel- ford. 39, of NMacclenny just off CR 139B near Nlargaretta. The officer said he spotted Mr. Belford walking north while on patrol the afternoon of April 2. The suspect began walking "at a fast pace" and then fled toward a wooded area after the deputy ad- vised there was a warrant out for his arrest. Deputy Ruise gave chase and fired the first Taser shot, hitting Mr. Belford in the buttocks. One of the contact wires malfunc- tioned, and the officer said Mr. Belford pushed him away with both hands as he was grabbed about the upper body. The suspect ran a short distance before Deputy Ruise caught him and administered a second Taser shot. Mr. Belford allegedly attempted to bury a small pill bottle with his hand while the officer applied handcuffs, and it contained four rocks of crack. The suspect was checked over by a rescue crew for ill-effects of the Taser, then takeito'jaC'- " --.He is also charged with batter) on Deputy Ruise and resisting with violence, both felonies. Arrest for felony battery A Macclenny man was arrested for felon\ battery and a criminal complaint will be filed against another man with whom he was fighting at a residence off North 2nd St. that evening. Deputy John Hardin said he found Thomas Wilkerson, 32, walking north on 1st St. just after 10.00 as he responded to a distur- bance call. Mr. Wilkerson said he \was sit- ting in his \ard drinking beer with familN when Jeff Spivey, 35. also of Nlacclenn\, drove onto the property and attacked him. Deputy Harden found Mr. Spi- %eN at the residence with a large laceration o\er the left eye and an a face "extremely swollenn" A rescue team \%as summoned and determined Mr. SpiveN's in-, juries \were severe enough to w'ar-, rant airlifting him to Shands Jack-` son% ille. Several witnesses told the offi-- cer no weapons \were used in the fight, including brass knuckles as first alleged. Mr. Wilkerson was taken to jail and the complaint filed against Mr. Spivey, who had shown up at the scene with a female acquaintance. Threatens arson A criminal complaint alleging violation of a "no contact" court injunction was filed April 2 against Stanley Holland, 25. of Macclenny for making threatening telephone calls to his estranged wife. Mr. Holland and his 29-year-old w ife Selena of Glen St. Mary got into an altercation the morning of April 2 outside the Travelodge motel where he had spent the night with another woman. The husband earlier obtained an injunction barring his wife from contact as well. Deputy Wayne Limbaugh said he listened to message tapes of phone calls made by Mr. Holland March 31 and April 1, and in one of them he threatened to burn down the wife's house while she and their children were inside. -Woodlawn Kennels Quality Professional Care PICK-UP 259-4757 DELIVER Private Spacious Indoor/Outdoor Runs Complete Bath, De-flea & Groom ....$14-$20 Bath, De-flea & Nails Clip . .. .$10-$15 Boarding (per actual day) ;. .. . . .$5- $7 ^_______" *> ** / Florida Concrete * Footers * Foundations * Sidewalks Services, Inc.. Driveways 259-205 or54 81 BY KELLEY L-ANNIGAN Press Staff Karen Harrison is the Diversi- fied Career Technology (DCT) in- structor at Baker County High School, a position she has held for years. She has been employed nearly as long as the school district and state law allow and mandatory re- tirement from the Baker County system is approaching next fall. Not only will she miss working at BCHS, but the dedicated teacher is emotional about leaving the classroom where she has spent so many years with so many special students. "Look around for a few mo- ments," she says. gesturing to the walls. "You'll see why it's going to be hard for me to leave." Years ago, when Ms. Harrison was visiting the classroom of an- other DCT instructor, she noticed signatures on the block walls. When she asked about it, she was told that graduating students were allowed to sign a brick as a me- mento of their time at the school. Harrison thought it was a great idea. She brought the concept to her classroom at BCHS and it be- gan to evolve from simple signa- tures to something even more per- sonal. Students who complete all the categories of the DCT program are allowed their own cinder block to personalize. These small "canvas- es" function as self-portraits and contain pieces of information such as the year the student graduated, mottos, slogans, verses of poetry\ or scripture and artwork or sym- bols unique to the student. Many of the blocks contain such recognizable names as Winn Dixie, Nefcom and MacDonald's - businesses where the students worked as part of their DCT pro- gram requirements. Ms. Harrison points out a block with a wonderful cartoon-like ren- dering of a UPS truck. "It's obvious where this student was working," she says with a smile. "The students are proud of their achievements and that shows up in the content of their blocks." Certain blocks are very special to Ms. Harrison. She points to one graced with the images of a butter- fly and a treble cleft from a music scale. A verse from the book of Proverbs is written across the bot- tom: A friend loveth at all times. The teacher's voice becomes a little choked as she looks at this ,ery special part of her unique classroom. "This girl passed away and is no longer with us. she say s. "So it's extremely. significant to me that she left such a personal part of herself behind in my classroom. A part of her is still here every day." Harrison plans to continue teaching in some capacity after re- tirement and is excited about her future prospects. The idea of leaving her class- room with its special walls makes her sad and since she can't take the walls %with her, she plans to photo- graph them before she leaves. "That wa. my students w ill al- ways be ws ith me," she says. Speeder's license suspended two times for DUI offenses A Georgia man stopped for speeding on Interstate 10 near Glen St. Mary just before midnight on March 30 was arrested for dri- ving on a suspended license. Deputy Randy Davis said a computer check revealed that An- tiaun Peggins, 20, of Hinestille had two suspensions for DUI of- fenses. . The officer also ticketed him for going 92 in a 70 mile per hour zone. In other arrests the past week, Edgar Norman, 51, of Glen was Parked vehicles are burglarized Several vehicle burglaries were reported the past week to the sher- iff's department. including one overnight on April 2 during which a $300 CD player and speakers were taken. There w'as no sign of forced entry into the 1999 Chexrolet pickup belonging to John Coffman and parked off US 90 in Glen St. Mary. Police said they found no clues at the scene. Two nights earlier, someone took a radar detector and some loose change froni a parked pickup be- longing to Fletcher Gainey of MNacclennv. . The 2006 Ford was parked on Harley Thrift Road and there was ,no sign of forced entry. A wallet, credit card, license, cell phone and ROTC uniform were removed from a 1986 Chev- rolet Blazer parked on US 90 west in Macclenny the afternoon of March 30, The vehicle belonging toAshtin Feagle of St. George, Ga. had been "left unlocked because of a mal- functioning door. charged with disorderly intoxica- tion after confronted by Deput. Curtis Ruise in the Citgo Store off CR 125 adjacent to the interstate. The officer %went there the eve- ning of April 1 on a disturbance call and said Mr. Norman was \ isi- bly intoxicated. He also allegedly cursed both' Deputy Ruise and a ,'store clerk. i. ", A similar charge %\as made' against Randall Warner, 21, of Glen for interfering \with Deputy John Harden during a disturbance call at an address on Deer%\ood Circle in east MNacclennN. That incident took place about 1:30 am on April 2, and the officer said he s earned Mr. Warner four times not to interfere. lijren Harrisori vt irnu of unc fheir DCT eist,,ormi inalls at Baker Coiunt' High School Phot.o by Kle, Lmnig. n American Enterprise Bank Contact Janey .Hodges f- f all your lendingneeds Loan Produciion Office 692 W.

I1i h i , I * VOLUN1r'I ERS The state hospital can use talent in a number of ways BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff Sam Kitching first came to the Northeast Florida State Hospital as a chaplain. Today, he serves NEFSH as dir- ector of the hospital's .volunteer services department. "I can honestly say I lo% e w hat I do," says Kitching who has been in his current position since 2004. "Voblunteers are an integral and important component of the ever\- daN operation of this facilitN." he says. "The services they perform are in' valuable " Volunteers can serve in a %arietN of vays., putting in a little time or a. lot, depending on their desire and availability. "We've got a lot going on throughout the %ear," says Mr. Kitching. "We have many special celebrations and programs which include the community as well as the people directly, served bv the hospital, such as our annual Veter- an's Day Parades, health fairs, and golf tournaments. Volunteers are vital to our being able to provide these programs." Historically, the public perspec- tive toward mental health facilities has been one of negative it and mis- understanding. Fortunately, such facilities are no longer simply places where the menIall. ill patient is shut awa, and forgotten about, disappearing from society. At NEFSH, the goal is to prove ide an en%'ironment that fosters normalization and maxi- mizes opportunities for successful re-integration back into the com- munit). The 500-bed hospital offers sup- ervised work opportunities and people under residential treatment programs ma\ hold a job while the\ make the transition back into community living. "..We have art and music activi- .ties, woodwIorking, physical fit- ness, social interaction, entertain- ment, a beauty salon, a bank, reli- gious..programs and more." say's Director Kitching. "We have all the normal things anyone would expect from daily life. People can volunteer to help in any of those areas and we welcome that." There is always a need for extra help with such' things as clerical duties. "Just to give an example, says Kitching,. "one volunteer Catina Barton. was able to greatly assist the Fashion Nook which is our clothing issue department. She per- formed data entry and took care of a mro-Near information backlog created w hen our computers crash- ed due to the effects of Hurricane Charlie. And she did it in only one month's time, according to Char- lene Gainey, an employee in the Fashion Nook. "The girl is a w hiz. We can't even express how much she's helped us out." For those w\ho cannot actively volunteer but still desire to support the hospital, donations of both goods and money are always criti- cal need. Since transilioning awa\ from '"ward" clothing, donations of qual- it\ clothing are the lifeblood of departments like The Fashion Nook. Donated clothing is custom altered on site b\ capable seam- stresses for the indi iduals liking and taking part in the treatment programs. Director Kitching's personal \ish list for volunteerss has two specific groups of people in mind. '"One group would function as 'special friends.' The.\ would be contacted \when a person under hospital super ision might need some encouragement or a little ten- der lo ing care," he sa.s. "'This group would rite letters of en- couragement. make a phone call or a personal visit. "'And when one of our folks out here is ha\ ing a bad day orgels dis- couraged about something, it's amazing how far such: a simple gesture as gelling a card in the mail or a phone call can go in making' them feel good again," Mr. Kitch- Onie ojflk1,iv ALFSl-,I olwace s, Can vIa Bartoniv ~rA~on ifpdacig c.on~putcr files IItin lite h'%pUlot Fiuluon No'ok. clv..'lvuvl epartn'eav. Phc.i.:1b, Kd.-', L.nmg.an ing say's. "We also really need a volunteer group of guy s \\ho might be able to come over for a few hours on occa- sion to help set up or b'eak down booths, tents, tables and chairs w hen we have events and functions here on the grounds. That would be so fantastic." The volunteer director encour- ages people to consider donating their time or resources. "You might think Nou don't have an. experience or skill that would make you a aood volunteer. but that's not true. We have differ- ent levels of training for our \olun- teers and people can start out in one department and mo\e around until they find just the thing the\ feel comfortable with. There is something for anyone %willing to try. The volunteer services depart- ment at NEFSH strives to make volunteer experiences enjoyable. Assistance is given to help \olun- teers complete their orientation process and qualify\ at an appropri- ate level. Voluntier sert ice is tracked and documented. Meals are pro\ ided for \ volunteers ser, ing through the lunch hour. Letters. certificates and awards are a\\warded to outstanding volunteers. NEFSH also offers the opportu- nit\ to build work c\perience and can certify\ the serXiceC of %olun- teers to meet educational and pro- fessional requirements. All volunteerss are recognized at the annual awards banquet held NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LARGE SCALE AMENDMENTS TO THE BAKER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Baker County Commission, acting in its capacity as the Local Planning Agenc\, will hold a Public Hearing on Monday, April 17, 2006 at 6:01 pm, or as soon thereafter as possible, to cor,.ider pas..ae of the proposed adoption of the following Ordinances.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, April 6, 2006 Page Twelve _L a i~~ilgaTih~ffai; |1P Mal Exultation, celebration, elation inside GatorNation The residents of the Gator Na- tion are jubilant. There is much cheering in Gainesville and all outlying GatorNation regions. The Florida Gators are NCAA basketball champions. It was a resounding victory as well. They didn't back into the ti- tle, they won it outright, dominat- ing the UCLA Bruins in impres- sive fashion. The Gators played the best bas- ketball of any team in the tourna- ment, defeating their pre-champi- onship game opponents by a total of 80 points. And it was the same story in the finals. As a matter of fact, the Gators had a tougher time against George Mason in the semis. George Ma- son was a big tough team. So, too. are the Gators, but they also have an impress e outside shooting game. The Bruins had an even easier time with LSU. which surprised me to no end. The Tigers are very physical, with an inside game that rivals the Gators. I was certain they would be able to force the ball inside on UCLA, but it didn't happen.: LSU is much slower than the UCLA and speed kills. The Bru- ins used their speed to baffle the Tigers and steal the ball again and again. Watching them, I had a lit- tle concern about how they would match up with UF. I shouldn't have worried. While LSU is as big and as physi- cal as the Gators, they don't have the Gators' outside shooting skill and lightning reflexes. It wasn't close: UF 73, UCLA 57. Joakim Noah broke an NCAA finals record by blocking 6 shots, 5 of them in the first half. The Bruins, %who were confi- dent they could stop Noah and Al Horford on the inside, concentrat- ed much of their attention on Lee Humphrey. hoping to stop him from influencing the game with three-point shots. But Noah is not Big Baby Davis of LSU. Big Baby is huge and powerful. Noah is long and strong and very quick. He would take a pass from Taurean Green, make a head fake and be past the UCLA defender and free to slam a dunk. . Within the first five minutes of the game, the swagger that UCLA demonstrated all through the tour- nament was gone. They were worried and it showed in the way that they played ball. UCLA had bumbled and stum- bled their way through the tourna- ment, and teams like that can be tough because you never know what to expect. Remember Jim Valvano and NC State? Rollie Massomino and Villanova? A bumbling and stumbling team cant trip over the championship if. you're not careful. Or, they can get their rear spanked. That's what happened on Monday night. The Gators took the Bruins to the woodshed and gave them a good what for. They piled on the points and no matter what the Bruins did, they were stymied by the Gators. Will the national title raise bas- ketball in Gainesville above its status as a second class citizen compared to football? That's hard to say. The Gator basketball team has accomplished a huge thing. They have, for the last four weeks, been the best team in the country. Noah, who was widely ignored outside of the SEC is now an NCAA superstar and a lock at power forward in the NBA. For a few weeks, Urban Meyer and company will be able to prac- twice in relative obscurity while the BMOC's are Donovan's kings of Billy Ball. And rightly so. Bulldog runner beats the pick-off attempt as Trae Knabb takes the throw. BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports Brittany Hansen drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out sin- gle in the seventh inning to lead the Lady Wildcats to a 5-4 victory at Middleburg April 3. Pitcher Tiffany Smith made the lead stand up, retiring the Broncos in order in the bottom of the in- ning. The win ended an eight-game losing streak and improved the Cats' record to 3-14 (2-7 in dis- trict). On April 4, however, they lost 8-4 at Ridgeview. Details of the game were not available at press time. Against Middleburg, Smith turned in one of her better perfor- mances of the season, allowing just four hits and no earned runs. She struck out three and walked none. Cats lose to Bulldogs amid late-season funk BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports The Baker High baseball team lost 7-2 to Suwannee County Tuesday night, the Wildcats' sixth loss in eight games as they head into the home stretch toward the district tournament. The Wildcats scored in the bottom of the fifth to take a 2-1 lead, but the Bulldogs answered with four in the sixth and two more in seventh to pull away. The Cats have been alternating wins and loss- es. After they crushed Union County 16-0 last Tuesday, they split a home-and-home with Brad- ford County, losing there March 30 and winning here the next day. Prior to that string of games, however, they'd gone 0-3 in a Fernandina Beach tournament and dropped a home game to Santa Fe. .After a hot start to the season, the Cats have leveled off. Their record now stands at 12-9, with six games left until district playoffs begin. In the first of the two games against the Tor- nadoes, the Cats scored just three runs despite 10, hits, including two by Travis Tyson and a home run by Ryan Powell. The following night, the Cats.got a great per- formance from pitcher Jarrell Rodgers, who gave, up just two runs on three hits'while striking out seven on the way to a 3-2 victory. The Cats trailed 2-1 into the bottom of the fifth, but were able to manufacture two runs on a single and a bunt hit. Davis led off with a single and J.D. Milton walked. Matt Wilson laid down a sacrifice bunt, but was able to beat it out. When the throw got past the first baseman, Davis scored, Milton went to third and Wilson to second. Adam Lewis drew an intentional walk to load the bases, and Powell walked on a 3-2 pitch to force home the winning run. The; Cats' next game is April 6 at home against Middleburg. They then travel to Santa Fe April 11. The following night is Senior Night and Little Forty years later, state champs still family For two seasons in the mid-'60s, Baker County High School had the best Class B basketball team in Florida. They won a state title in 1965-66 and went on to set the record for most consecutive wins with 60. Most years since then, teatp members have met to reminisce and catch up on one another's lives. This is the 40th anniversary of their championship. BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports Last Saturday night, the his- toric Mathis House in Glen Nursery played host to what appeared to be a family re- union. And although most of the three dozen or so people there weren't related by blood or marriage, they were in a very real sense, family. "Baker County is home, it always will be," said Tommy Combs, who traveled from Memphis to be w : with his former teammates and ' friends. .op "This-group. ,and their par- " ents, did as much to raise me as anyone.... I. I'm thankful to / be a small part of this team. I reminisce every David Rot day." Earlier. Steve Porterfield had been smoking a cigarette on the front porch with Terry Reynolds. "Forty years," he mused. "Has it been that long?" When I introduced myself, I said, "So, you were The Man, right?". Actually, I wasn't able to the the word "right" out of my mouth before Porterfield jumped in to correct me. "We were a team. It was all about the team." Nonetheless. Porterfield was the best player: his dad, Rus- sell, was the coach. The elder Mr. Porterfield passed away', but his w ife, who is 91 years old. was able to make it to the reunion. "She's sharp as a tack," ob- served Sheriff Joey Dobson, a starter on the championship team. "-She remembers every- thing about \ou." So in fact there were some blood relatives at the reunion, but it was more than that. It was former principal B.B. WVhitfield coming down from berts, Joey Dobson and Terrn Reynolds atichi tM "out in the country north of Moultrie, Ga." And it was Candy Harrell, now 80, the, front office secretary who never missed a game." . And it w as the wise guy in the back sa.,ing, "I was on the team," but then adding, "I'm only saying that because you're too old to remember that it's not true." Only about four players of those who played both seasons weren't able to make it. It was a bigger crowd that usual be- cause of the 40th anniversary.

With surprisingly little old school talk of how "these kids nowadays don't know ho'e to play this game" - other than the general agreement that the), easily on de-. fense a handful of peop p e watched the 'first. half then headed he Gator game; out to the S. deck to take their place among the others. Dobson. the master of cere- monies, called on some ap- parently the ones no longer in the area as they sat around about a dozen decorated tables. Each in turn brought the others up to date on where life had taken them. It was mostly kids and grandkids, jobs and retirement, but always with a remem- brance from back in the day. Every once in a while, Roger Yarborough would re- port to the group on the progress of the Gators' game. The news was good. Yarborough, the code en- forcement officer for the city of Macclenny, Dobson and Denny Wells ("35 years at the school district and haven't been fired yet") %were the dri- ving force behind the reunion. Out on the deck they told the rest about plans for money that had been raised. They will purchase a solid metal plaque to honor the memory of Coach Porterfield. It will be placed on the wall of the BCHS gym at the next bas- ketball homecoming game. They'll also sponsor the Russell Porter field Coach's Award, a trophy that the school's basketball coach will present to a member of his team. They added, however, that it didn't necessarily have to be the best player, but one w ho deserves an award. The group also is consider- ing getting championship rings to commemorate their state ti- tle. They'd apparently gotten little gold basketballs at the time, but many have since bounced away. "A lot of us lost them in our first marriages," the sheriff said, drawing one of the bigger laughs of the evening. After the Gators had se- cured their win, which later would lead to their national,K champiiffiship, and as the party.. %was breaking up, Yarborough, who'd been manning the food table, kept reminding every- one. "Be sure to take a plate home, we've got plenty." Kinda sounds like a family reunion, doesn't it? BCHS state champions Teams Boys'weightlifting, 1988.1989 and 1993 -. Boys' basketball, 1966 .. .

Hinson and Jessi Nunn led off the game with singles setting up Crews' big.hit. She later scored on .a sacrifice fly by Shannon Nickles. Crews, one of just three seniors on the roster, leads the team in every major offensive category, including a .362 batting average. The Cats led 4-0 into the bot- tom of the third, but four errors led to four unearned runs for the Broncos. The game remained tied over the next three innings as the two teams combined for just one hit. In the top of the seventh, Crews and Smith led off singles, but Nickles grounded into a double - play, erasing Crews, but moving Smith to second. She went to third on passed ball and scored on Hansen's game-winning single. Last week, the Cats lost 10-2 at Fernandina Beach as the Pirates broke open a close game with six runs in the fifth inning. Tiffany Norman started on the mound, but surrendered five hits and three walks in four-plus in- nings, although just two of the ten runs against her were earned.' Crews' two-run homer in the third accounted for the Cats' runs. The Cats'next game is April 6 at home against Columbia County. Game time is 6 pm., After that, they travel to West Nassau to play the Warriors April 11, before returning home for their final regular season game against Fernandina Beach starting at 6 pm.

Clutch hiing helps Lady Cats snap eight-game losing streak Trildking to raise cash for St.Jude's BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff Kids and tricycles go ,together like frogs and water. It's hard to imagine one existing without the other. Lots of children from the Spec- ial Blessings .Infant and School Readiness Center on' March 31 rode their trikes for a purpose" beyond simply having a good time. They were rising money? to help other children. St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, started by the late televi- sion star Danny Thomas, is anwin- stitution at the forefront of treat- ment and research of .cancer and other catastrophic illnesses afflict- ing children. Trike-A-Thori is a special pro- gram developed for. early child- hood educators and child-care cen- ters to help teach children about bicycle safety tips while .helping the hospital. All money raised goes toward continuing %ital research at the heart of the hospital' s mission. The week before the Trike-A- Thon, children prepare to participate by watching and studying materials featuring "Bikewell Bear," the event's mascot. Family and friend sponsors pledge money for each lap the chil- dren complete.

Classified Adva By Jared Wilkerson Anyone who has watched a little late night TV has at least thought about the concept of investing a little time and noney into finding distressed Sro pe r- ies, fixing hem up, ind sub- ;equently selling hem for a profit As ai eal estate igent who las been nvi Ived Jared Wikerson, Realtor vith such propertiess in the past, I can ,ay this about the concept it vorks. There are countless people )ut there supplementing their incomes with- these tecih- fiques. All it takes is the ability o recognize a sound invest- nent property when one becomess available, a little cost ffective-based know-how when t comes to repairs, and a good trustworthy financial lender. It's a little outside the scope )f this article to explain the full processs of acquiring the right propertiess for this type of investment. Basically, just find home that looks outdated ind needs mostly cosmetic repairs. If the property in ques- ion can be purchased at a sig- lificantly lower price than hose around it (when they are n good condition) and the epairs won't cost more than he price difference between he two figures. it's probably a -ood candidate. The full concept is, of course far more in-depth than hat, but that's the basic idea. \t the end of buying, fixing and sellingg these properties. investors walk away with the )rofit and usually start over on he next opportunity they see. The purpose of this article is lot to explain the simplicity of lipping properties for profit., )ut rather to convince investors o stop doing it at least on the arge scale. Here's why: When an investor sells the propertyy they've just renovat- ,d, they hand over the title to for every home that may qualify as a good fixer-upper. Sometimes, it is in fact the right move to just take the money and run. Also, holding onto several investment prop- erties does significantly compli- cate the scope of liability for the investor; just ask anyone holding properties about how last year's property tax season went for them. The silver lining to this sys- tem is that in time, if kept in good condition, the equity in the home will appreciate to well above the owner's initial invest- ment. This is especially true if the investor leveraged the down-payment against the bank's money in the first place. What was once five or ten thou- sand dollars will someday become fifty or eighty. Based on projected appreciation rates for 2006, if the growth rate holds steady in the future, these profit levels could come into realization within five or six years of purchasing an average house. This is just something to think about when getting into or revising a real estate invest- ment strategy. Above, With some time and money this would be a great rental. The chart, right, shows yur goal as an investor. the happy new owners and that's the end of it. The investor now has to start all over again. Savvy investors fig- ured out a long time ago that rather than selling the proper- ties and paying out a large por- tion of their profits in closing costs and capital gains taxes, they can just go ahead and get all of the profit they've just gen- erated through repairs and keep every cent by simply removing one step of the process and replacing it with another. If selling the property is what causes all of the profit loss to taxes, etc, then just don't sell the property. The investor now owns a home that is worth more than they owe on it. Therefore, the monthly mortgage payments are not commensurate with what the home will likely rent for, either. Instead of dumping the property, rent it out for the, going rate in the neighborhood, which is easier to determine than most people might' think. Let the tenant pay down the mortgage while the property's value increases over time with the market double equity growth, zero expense for the investor. Next, apply for a HELOC (Home Equity Line Of Credit, or 2nd Mortgage) on' the home. The Bank will send out an appraiser and determine how much positive equity is now in the home. Loan origination costs will have to be paid again, Out the money from the loan is tax-free. Better still, it is now in the investor's account and can be used to purchase even more or larger investment properties than the reduced amount of profit in the first sce- nario would allow. Don't let me mislead anyone here. This process is not right Effects of interest rates on buyers & sellers The Baker County Press A I Flipping Properties: A selection of short and long term options for Investors By Jared Wilkerson Most people are aware that interest rates carry drastic consequences for buyers in the housing market. What many people fail to realize is that often times these rates have an even greater impact on a seller's bottom line. The following is a generalized illus- tration of how interest rates affect a seller's ability to pro- ceed with their moving plans. Monthly payments with any lender are based either entire- ly or in part on a system called amortization: basically, the payment is composed of at least two parts the princi- ple portion, based on the amount of the loan. plus inter- est. The interest portion is. of course, based on the interest rate. The lower the interest rate, the higher the dollar 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 associated with the loan. In simple terms, it costs more money to borrow money. Here's where it gets a oit 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 cred- it) based on current figures, that payment amount will se- cure 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 to- ward paying off the principle portion and more of the pay- ment will go toward paying off the interest. In order to avoid going above the $1200 pay- ment limit, the buyer will have to start out at a lower princi- ple loan balance. In other words, purchase a cheaper home. Here's where the sellers come in: Buyer's 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 requiring financing, and work- (From Page 1) THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, April 6, 2006 Section B Page Two Interest rate effects onf the market (Fmm Page 1) er's salaries don't immediate- ly rise along side of the inter- est rates, all buyers are now able to afford slightly lower priced homes. The sellers still need to sell their homes in or- der to complete their own moves. Now, however, the buy- ers 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 twenty years ago can at- test that this last option is not what happens even during pe- riods of incredibly high interest rates. What happens is that in time, sellers must accept low- er sales prices for their homes in order to move. Even sellers whom are in no hurry to sell and could afford to wait for a more well-off buyer will still be brought down by their neigh- bors' home prices. This is basically one of the major causes for that horrible, dare I even mention it, "bub- ble burst" that is being talked about in the news today. I.n the past, sellers have even had to go so' far as to pay off discount points back to the bank in order to lower the interest rates to more manageable levels for their buyers. To add insult to injury, the sellers would immediately have to turn around and face the same gauntlet as buyers ,when purchasing their next home. The lesson to be learned from this illustration is that re- gardless of whether the mar- ket is deemed to be a "sell- er's market" or a "buyer's market," anytime that is good for the buyer is most likely great for the seller if it accom- panies a stretch of low inter- est rates. By the way, interest rates are currently on an upswing. Homeowners whom are con- sidering moving soon should perhaps consider moving sooner. HORSE OWNERS MORE...
