Among trio of dated
cases solved recently

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.

Cyclist killed on 121 Monday


A Macclenny motorcyclist who was thrown from his bike after he
struck a car that pulled onto SR 121 into his path the afternoon of April 3
died several hours later at Shands Jacksonville of massive head injuries.
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.

After sidestepping a potential
fiscal land mine. 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 did not belong to her when she
pawned it.
She is charged with grand theft
and dealing in stolen property.
A surveillance tape and state-
ments by two witnesses led to the
arrest of Leonard (Monkey) Jones,,
22, of Glen St. Mary for theft of a
counter coin jar from the Mac-
clenny Burger King on February
23.
The jar contained donations
intended to aid a cancer victim and
police did not know how much
was in it.
Mr. Jones, who also goes by the
name Leonard West, was positive-
ly identified in mid-March by the
two witnesses who were shown
the surveillance tape.

Political correctness has do% n-
sides to it other than the obvious,
the tiresomeness of it, if you % ill.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

ving on a suspended license.

computer check revealed that An-
tiaun Peggins, 20, of Hinestille

fenses. .
The officer also ticketed him for

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.

TOWN OF BALDWIN

FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

The Town of Baldwin is considering applying to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to
$650,000. These funds must be used for one of the following purposes:

1. To benefit low and moderate-income persons; or

2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or

3. To meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or wel-
fare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs.

The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas of housing,
neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization, or economic development and include
such improvement activities as acquisition of real property, loans to private-for-profit busi-
ness, purchase of machinery and equipment, construction of infrastructure, rehabilitation of
houses and commercial buildings, and energy conservation. Additional information regard-
ing the range of activities that may be undertaken will be provided at the public hearing.

For each activity that is proposed, at least 51% of the funds must benefit low and moderate-
income persons.

In developing an application for submission to DCA. the Town of Baldwin must plan to min-
imize displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities. In addition, the Town
of Baldwin is required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons.

The public hearing to receive citizen views concerning the community's economic and com-.
munity'development needs will be held at the Baldwin Town Hall, 10 U.S. Hwy 90 West, on
Tuesday, April 11, 2006, at 6:45pm. For information concerning the public hearing, contact
Lula Hill, Town Clerk. (904) 266-5031.

The public hearing is being conducted in a handicapped accessible location. Any handi-
capped person requiring an interpreter for the hearing impaired or the visually impaired
should contact Lula Hill at least five calendar days prior to the meeting and an interpreter
will be provided. Any non-English speaking person wishing to attend the public hearing
should contact Lula Hill at least five calendar days prior to the meeting and a language inter-
preter will be provided. To access a Telecommunication Device for Deaf Persons (TDD),
please call (800) 955-8771. Any handicapped person requiring special accommodation at

BAKER COUNTY
FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

Baker County is considering applying to the Florida Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to
$750,000.00. These funds must be used for one of the following purposes:

1. To benefit low and moderate-income persons; or

2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of-slums or blight: or

3. To meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or wel-
fare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs.

The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas of housing,
neighborhood revitalization, commercial re\ italization, or economic development and include
such improvement activities as acquisition of real property, loans to private-for-profit busi-
ness, purchase of machinery and equipment, construction of infrastructure, rehabilitation of
houses and commercial buildings, and energy conservation. Additional information regard-
ing the range of activities that may be undertaken will be provided at the public hearing.

For each activity that is proposed, at least 51% of the funds must benefit low and moderate-
income persons.

In developing an application for submission to DCA, Baker County must plan to minimize
displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities. In addition, Baker County is
required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons.

The public hearing to receive citizen views concerning the community's economic and com-
munity development needs will be held at the Baker County Board of County Commissioners
Chambers, 55 N, Third St., Macclenny, on Monday, April 17, 2006, at 6:00 pm. For informa-

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-

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

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

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

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.

Florida's NCAA tournament

starting at the same time as the
party, Dobson made sure there
w~as a television \\as brought
into the Mathis House.
With surprisingly little old
school talk of how "these kids

the general

then headed

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?

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

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-

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.
