GAINESVILLE FL 32611 BAKER CNTY PRESS 76th Year, Vol. 51 Thursday April 13, 2006 Macclenny, Florida 50 County leaders discuss new tax BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff Members of an interagencN committee formed to prepare for the county's growth kicked around a few ideas on how to pay for the services that will be needed - in- cluding a half-cent sales tax. higher property taxes and a temporary moratorium on new\ construction. Eight representatives from the county, citN of Macclenny, town of Glen St. Mary. the school board, the county property appraiser and the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council met April 7 at City Hall. Based on residential projects al- ready approved, Cathy Rhoden, county planning director, laid out some of the projected needs in ba- sic categories such as police, fire/rescue, recreation and trans- portation. She said the count, 'will need four to eight additional deputies; a new library: a fire station in Sanderson and another one in Mac- clennm, each with two rescue units and four personnel: four more soft- ball fields 'with concession facili- ties: parks: and improvements to roads, such as building shoulders and turn lanes. Despite ith enactmen ti f imp:i.a f tees last year by the city and count\ - and by extension the school board - the additional revenue %will not cover the costs for additional sern ices needed to accommodate growth. The committee, first proposed earlier this year by Nlacclenny ciht commissioner Phil Rhoden, was formed to foster integrated plan- ning for grow' th. At last- Thursday 's meeting. school superintendent Paula Barton asked whether the county can legally enact a moratorium to stop grow th. The school district, already strained by a high number of stu- dents, will be especially hard hit b, grow th. Ms. Barton and facilities director Denn) Wells said the dis- trict will be anywhere from 122 percent to 127 percent of its level of ser' ice. meaning it will need more buildings and buses. Ed Lehman, director of planning and development for the Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council, said, "You can't even start planning until you hit 120 percent, then you're already behind the eight ball." He also answered Ms. Barton's question about a moratorium, say- ing the county cannot enact one simply to "catch tip," but must have specific plans in place. Ms. Rhoden said she didn't think the county commission would have a problem with a mora- torium.

He's a former counts property appraiser. He's a former county manager. He's a former policeman. He's a former truck driver. He's a realtor. Add this to your list. Josie Davis 'of Glen St. Mary is the reigning winner of the Jim Reeves Sound Alike competition. And that means, in the opinion of the judges on hand March 18 at the annual competition in the country legend's hometown of Carthage, Texas,' amateur singer Josie Davis. sounds more like Gentleman Jim Reeves than the four other finalists. So, how did this happen? "I've always liked Jim Reeves and Marty Robbins, and people al- ways told me I sounded like Gen- 'tleman Jim," said Mr. Davis. "One of Jim Reeves' nephews, John Rex Reeves, does a sound- alike show in Branson, Mo. and I learned about the contest on his website." Josie, his wife Pam and fellow amateur singer Jimmy Barton and wife Annette of Macclenny drove out to east Texas for the contest. It was held in the auditorium of the , high school in Carthage that mor- , ing. "I didn't think I'd win it so I guess you could say it was a lark," the 63-year-old Glen St. Mary na- tive said in a recent interview. He sang just one Reeves hit, Adios Amigo, in the brief perfor- , ance, and that was enough to con- vince the judges he deserved the title - until next March 'when they do it all again. As the win- ner, he took the stage that evening for the finale and an en- core. He brought home a plaque commemorating the honor. Country mu- sic purists know all about Jim Reeves. They, called him "Gentleman Jim" because of his smooth de- liery that brought a coun- try flavor to the popular crooning singing style of that era. He was one of the first "cross- over" artists topping the country and pop charts in the 1950s and 1960s. He first smash hit was Mexi- can Joe and it remained a top seller 53 weeks. Josie Davis was a big country and rock fan back in the 1950s and his love for music remained more on the listening side. "I was too bashful to ever sing in public, and the first time I did was in church," he recalls. He's played and sang in a num- ber of local bands through the years, and more recently produced a CD of his favorites, all with kareoke background music. It's titled "Gentleman Josie." He owns sound equipment and performs at public functions with his kareoke review - events like birthday .parties and wedding recep- tions. .Like many kareoke artists, he gets other people in the act, party- goers with widely varying musical talent. Josie Davis plans to be there for the 2007 Reeves sound- alike competition, but he won't enter as the reigning champ. Will the Jim Reeves title in- crease his local bookings? He doesn't much think so, and it doesn't much matter. He sings because he likes it, and it brings back the sounds of 40- 45 years ago - back in the days of ' the transistor radio S and the Top 40. Josie Davis with Jim Reeves' only surviving sister. Macclenny, county will split costs to update 23A BY MICIHEL RINKER Press Staff The simmering issue of who will foot the bill for improvements to County Road 23A nearly boiled over Tuesday night, but the respec- tihe leaders of Baker County and the city of Macclenny backed off before it became overheated. As a result, representatives from the two governing bodies will get together to decide what needs to be done and how the costs %%ill be ap- portioned. County commission chairman Alex. Robinson was Tuesday's meeting of the Macclenny city commission to discuss an interlocal agreement for impro% ing the coun- ty road that is becoming increas- ingly overburdened by new devel- opments located within the city. At an earlier meeting, there'd been confusion over whether there %%as an agreement already in place, but as it turned out it was simple. a "gentlemen's agreement" under which the two agencies general) agreed to work together, according to Macclenny mayor GarN Dopson. "It's a county road but 'we real- ize we hale responsibility there, too." he said. "And we'll take care of our responsibility. "I don't think we're going to be hard-nosed about it." Mr. Robinson talked about whether the developers could be made to contribute. He was refer- ring to Sands Pointe, Rolling Meadows. Broken Oak and Barber Plantation (planned for the former golf course property). "Between four developers, they should be able to resurface 23A to 23B," he said. The mayor had pointed to the turn lanes promised b\ the Barber Plantation developers. Mr. Dopson sold the property to them last year. Mr. Robinson. ho weer, said. "those turn lanes aren't helping the pitiful shape of 23A." The mayor then pointed out that traffic from increased development in the north count\ area will also burden the road.

That's what Will Shakespeare claimed at any rate. I'm not so sure that the Bard of Avon was right. Romeo and Ethel just doesn't have the same effect as Romeo and Juli- et. I was listening to the ne\\s the other day and it was describing how Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick "Deadeye" Che- ney's former Chief of Staff. had fin- gered President Bush for giN ing the ;okay to leak the name of a CIA agent to the press. The Democrats claim a "culture of corruption" in the \Vhile House. I claim that the problem is a "cul- ture of bad nicknames." Scooter? A guy named Scooter is Chief of Staff to the next in line to the head of the free \Norld? Scooter is the guy who flips your burgers not the guy who is giving ad\ ice about putting troops in the Congo. Scooter would fit in with Fonzie and Potsie on reruns of Happy Days, not brow beating Conr 4men tou.-ei4 .dgalinsi an en- ergy ax.. If that's not bad enough, we've got a president %ith a nickname. W. What kind of nickname is that? It isn't really even a nickname. No wonder his approval rating is dip- ping toward the single digits. He's got a single digit nickname. The only other single digit nick- name I can think of was Q from James Bond. President Bush's nick- name is even farther down the al- phabet. Q at least had cool gadgets. W has Donald Rumsfeld. The Secretary of Defense has his own nickname. It's nothing quite as cool as, W, but it is pretty descrip- tive. The head of our armed forces, the man in charge of defending this country and our way of life is called "Rummy." That inspires confidence. When I was growing up, the term rummy was used to describe two things. If you were a red nosed uncle who sat around all day watching wrestling and drinking a suitcase of beer, you were called a rummy. Rummy was also a term of deri- sion similar to nerd or' dork. If someone looked at you and shook his head and said, "What a rum- my," you knew that you weren't be- ing complimented. The Governor of California, Arnold Schwartzenegggggggger- rrrrr is nicknamed "The Termina- tor." Some papers have started call- ing him "The Govinator" when Dear Editor: I am extremely disappointed in the County Commissioners after the statement made by Alex Robinson and Gordon Crews in the paper last week. I believe before Mr. Robinson made the statement that he remembers $500,000 or $600,000 was to go toward a new building for seniors he should have researched the information. The seniors of this county (of which I am one) have been continually put on the backburner when it comes to deciding which projects should get funding. Mr. Robinson you are senior and shame on you for not pushing to provide an up-to-date theyaren't calling h names. The Terminator is cal nickname.

The cats just sat on their chair, staring indifferently. I had plenty of opossums arid racoons eating my cat's food when I lived in the country, but I wasn't expecting it in the city. I wouldn't back down and nei- ther would the opossum. It hissed at me and I hissed back. That did it. I don't know what I said in opossum language but I got my point across. The opossum stalked off in disgust and disappeared into the shadows of the shrubbery. I'm kind to animals and will feed anything, but cat food is expensive and this guy was scarfing it down like it was water. I haven't seen it since but that doesn't mean it isn't around because the, food keeps dis- appearing fast. ,- But that could also be due to the fact that every other cat in the neighborhood seems to be in the habit of stopping by and helping themselves, too. And periodically, when she escapes from the house across the street at night, my neigh- bors' dog Sophie darts across the road, eats all the catfood as fast as she possibly can without choking to death, rattles the bowls all over the steps and then runs off again. Guess I should just hang a sign' on the door that says "a real sucker lives here." DIGITAL RECEPTION SERVICES, INC.

I understand that according to the National Agenda for Motorcycle Safety report, published in 2000, the most comprehensi\ e motorcy- cle accident analysis study ever conducted in the U.S., that most motorcycle riders kill themselves. The largest majority by traveling faster than their skills or conditions permit. However, \ihen considering responsible motorcycle riders, like my fallen brothers White) Green, Gene Pollard and Elick Driggers III, most of us are killed by "a %ehi- 'cle turning left into the path of the motorcycle, while failing to yield the ultimate right of way." The media's favorite dig at my two-wheeled brothers and sisters - Helmet, no helmet - is honestly a complete. dodge of the serious, real issue at hand. Ask anyone who rides a motorcycle - your father, your mother, your brother, your city council person, your dentist, your clerk of courts, your county attorney, your preacher - how many times they have heard " I didn't see him.": Since 1979, all motorcycles sold in the U.S. have, by federal law, a headlight that comes on any time the motorcycle key is turned. Most of us ha% e even added more lights on our own because we are tired of burying our brothers and sisters for the rest of America's right to drive like idiots. In this day and age of cell phones, eating on the run in the car, applying makeup on the way to work, riding with your pet in the front seat with you, and always being in too big of a hurry to get where you are going, it is time for America to stop breaking the law. Stop and think about the fact that you are in control of a 2000-3000 pound weapon that is killing hon- est, hard working, loving, affec- tionate, devout Christian men like Whitey Green. This is not an issue about one person who made a bad decision, it is about literally thousands of peo- ple who are making bad decisions day in and day out. Most impor- tantly, it is about Whitey and Anne and Misty and Robert and Tracey and Marvin and Paul and Clark and Gene and Kathy and Michael and Amanda and Elick III and Elick II and Wayne and Anna and Jennifer and Elick IV. This issue's solution does start with one person, and that person is you, America. A friend of mine favors "murdercycle" to "motorcy- cle." This friend, I am sure, would, if he rode a motorcycle, more accu- rately prefer "murdercars" to "motorcars" when referring to those of us who are responsible motorcycle riders. Ride safely my brothers and sisters, because as far as we are concerned, America's car drivers have a license to kill. DENNIS ScHMITz, JR.

Unable to pass sobriety test A Glen St. Mary man was ar- rested April 6 for DUI after he was stopped for careless driving. Matthevw Floyd, 20, was driving on Macclenny Avenue around 10:22 pm when Deputy Mark Hall saw him accelerate to a high speed then slam on his brakes to narrow.- ly avoid hittlling a car stopped in front of him. The officer approached the sil- \er Mustang and noticed the odor of alcohol and that Mr. Floyd had difficulty getting his license out of his wallet. *He became belligerent when asked for his registration and proot of insurance. Dep. Hall told him he was giv- ing him a ticket for careless dri- ving and that Mr. Floyd needed to Get EVERYBODY'S attention for only PRESS CLASSIFIED Car Truck epairs Cur & Truck Repairs call someone to pick up him and his car. "No one will come and get me: they \\ill say, 'Take him to jail,'" he said. The officer said if he was un- willing to call someone, he would conduct a DUI investigation to de- termine Mr. Floyd's ability to dri- ve the car. If he \'as unable to pass it. he would be taken to jail. Mr. Floyd continued to be bel- ligerent and uncooperative, so the officer asked him to take roadside sobriety tests. "I'm not doing any [freaking] exercises." he replied. The officer arrested him and cuffed him, then asked if he'd changed his mind about doing the tests. "Get these [freaking] handcuffs off me right now." was Mr. Floyd's response. He was taken to jail where a breath test measured his blood al- ,cohol at .196 and .205.

Woman steals Swishers A woman who stole three packs of Swisher Sweets from a dow n- town Macclenny convenience store April 3 agreed a few days lat- er to pay for the cigars prompting the store owner to drop charges. Debra Bradley, a clerk at the Amoco at Macclenny Avenue. and Sixth Street, told police she saw the woman, later determined to be Grace Church, of Macclenn., place the cigars in her purse. Ms. Church then approached the counter with a cup of ice and asked for a pack of Newport ciga- rettes.

The stuff was val- ued at $1220. Mr. Fraser suspected the box\,so he put word out that if the items were returned to him he wouldn't get the boy in trouble. The boy and his friend returned some of the things, but the, said the %\oman, Christy Nixon, wouldn't give back whai she had. The boys said it was Ms., Nixon's idea to break into the Mr. Fraser's house because "he has money. When contacted by Deputy David Morgan, she denied being involved, but the officer found Mr. Fraser's watch in her car. The gang has been charged with burglary of dwelling and grand theft, both felonies. Ms. Bradley told her she also must pay for the cigars, but Ms. Church threw $3.70 on the counter. called to a male who ac- companied her to the store, "Come on Bubba. w\e got to go. Hurry!" They got into a car driven by a third person and took off south on Sixth Street. Deputy Garrett Bennett later identified Ms. Church from the store's surveillance tape.

A catered meal under outdoor tents featured chicken, beef, potatoes, baked beans and a special anniversary cake. Another celebration for the long time couple was .hosted by their church on Sunday. In a recent interview, Chesser, 96, said that the hardest job he e\ er had to do was asking Mae's father for her hand in marriage. "I was afraid he'd say no and he did," Chesser said. "He said she %was too young. But eventually I did marry her in Lake Butler in 1931." Chesser first seriously noticed the girl who would become his wife when she would walk past his house on the way to church. Mrs. Chesser fondly looks at her husband with her large, blue eyes and smiles. "He's been so good to me," she says. "He has treated me the best anyone ever has. And he has such a good mind, even at his age. I admire that." The Chessers both agree that marriage and life have been about taking things one day at a time. "I developed a philosophy long ago." says Chesser. "-1 decided that if I got married, I'd stay married. If I joined the church, I stay w ith the church and so on. I've approached most things that way through my life." The Chessers hase seen many changes in the area o\er the years. Mr. Chesser has fond memories of swimming at Vonn's Washhole on the Little St. Mary's River. "I think all the new growth around Macclenny is exciting," Phtroet', Kue,, Lar nnan Rocking Chair Corner Seniors will be enjoying an Easter celebration this Wednesday with d the Macclenny United * Methodist Church.

April 13. 2003 Page Ten gorgeous, but notdy SIcompelhl' g "Look at that,. Kelley. Is that not gorgeous?" I said to my wife as I pointed at the television set. "Of course it is. It's Augusta," she replied, walking out of the room with absolutely no interest in what was happening on the television screen. It was, of course, the Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, the only golf tournament that I actually sit down and watch. I'm not a golf fan on most oc- casions. I enjoy walking the TPC course at Sawgrass. I was there for a practice round before the Players Championship and had a great time. Golf is one of thGse sports where you can actually get uip close to the athletes. On some of the early holes you can stand ten feet away and listen to them talking and joking with each other and their caddies. Watching golf on television, however, has all the appeal of watching grass grow. Even a close, exciting match is inter- minable. It's worse than profes- sional football in its delays. I can't really put my finger on why I enjoy, watching the Masters. Even when I'm busy- Ill try to block off a few hours on Sunday afternoon to watch the final round. A player hits a ball and then has to walk 200 yards to hit it again. In the mean time, they switch to other golfers I've never heard of before I get to see my guy hit again five or ten minutes later. I cai't really put my finger on why I enjoy watching the Mas- ters. Even when I'm busy like I was this weekend, I'll try to block off a few hours on Sunday after- noon to watch the final round., It wasn't particularly exciting this year. Phil Mickelson led the whole afternoon, and only when. playing partner Fred Couples had a birdie attempt on the 14th to cut it to a one-stroke lead was there any drama. But Couples missed the putt and the drama was gone. Tiger Woods made a surge late in the day and you can never count him out. But Tiger unchar- acteristically bogeyed the 17th to put him out of contention. I still watched. The course is just so gorgeous and subtly. treacherous. It looks like a lot of other layouts and its final holes are par 4s but they are very de- ceptive. At Sawgrass, a golfer knows he has the island green on the 17th and the 18th with its fair- way as slim as a fashion model. Augusta is more elegant in its difficulty. Its earlier holes are more challenging and so when you approach the final two a golfer might just relax and his ap- proach shot will roll forever. One of the ironies of Mickel- son's second green jacket is that he missed a gimme putt on 18 to remove a lot of the celebratory air of his win. But even that didn't diminish Tiger Woods helping him into that green sport coat. There are more expensive and beautiful trophies, but only the World Cup trophy, the Super Bowl trophy and Lord Stanley's Cup are more recognizable. I'm a sucker for tradition. Maybe that's why I watch. It beats watching my grass grow. in the wins against the Broncos and Panthers., He pitched a four-hit shutout against Ridgeview in Orange / 4 . . . , -'. .. , - ' ..,o,, - "'..' - ,, -* ?..!.,: ,'-.., 1 "* .- ' :-.'. -.;tc . - -p -: Alm..

Briuany Hansen ii thesecond baseman Wildcats have one last chance this season for a home victory BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports The Lady Wildcats lost 9-0 at West Nassau Tuesday night, man- aging just one hit against one of the state's best pitchers. The loss drops their record to 3-17 with one regular season game remaining - at home April 13 against Fernandina Beach. . The team's seniors - Kassie Crews, Brittany Hall and Shannon Nickles - will be recognized in a ceremony prior to the game, which starts at 6 pm. It will be the Cats' last opportu- nity to win at home this season, where they are 0-10. They are. 2-8 in district play, entering the playoffs as a sixth seed and scheduled to play Suwannee County April 1S in Starke at 5 pm. They beat the Bulldogs in Li'e Oak on March 3. The Cats were overmatched in. Tuesday's game against West Nas- sau and its star pitcher Katie Lawrence. a two-time all-state se-' lection who has a scholarship to . Stetson Universit. The only blemishes on her per- formance came in the fourth in- ning when she gave up a leadoff single to Brittany Hinson and a one-out \\alk to Kassie Crews. She closed out the inning, how-. ever, striking out Tiffany Smith and Nickles, two of her 11 strike-, outs in the game. Lawrence also went two for three at the plate, including a home run and two runs batted in. The Warriors jumped out to a five-run lead in the first, inning thanks to fiv'e Cats' error-.. The only earned runs West Nassau scored were on Lao rence's two-run blast in the fourth. In the Cats previous game, they lost 5-3 to visiting Columbia County April 6 despite a two-run homer b\ Kassie Crews and a sol- id pitching performance by Tiffan' Smith. The Tigers scored a pair of runs in the fifth inning to break open a tie game. The Cats had a chance to close the gap in the sixth, but Nickles was thrown out at home and Crews was cut down trying to steal third. Smith gave up just one earned run in six innings. Several Wildcats heading for regionals ,The Baker High track team did well at us district meet Aprl 10 at Fort White High School. The 4 x 800 meter relav team shown above (Blake Rowan, Wll Fletcher, Kyle Wray, coach Ron Lee, and Luke Kennedy) won the district championship. Kennedy also advances to regionals on the strength of his second place finish in the 1600 meters, while :- Fletcher also moves on with a third place in the 800 meters. Also heading for regionals, which will be held April 21 at The Bolles School in Jacksonville, are the girls' 4 x 100 meter relay team of Ciera Thompson, Mary Dugger. Kendra Jones and Andrea Jackson. Thompson also advances in the long jump. "Coach Lee and I really want to thank our kids - and their parents for their support," head coach Charles Ruise said Tuesday. "The kids continued to work hard to become better student-athletes, stepping it up each year. We really appreciate them." Cats lose to Santa Fe after pair of wins BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports The Wildcats baseball team pulled itself out of a late-season tailspin with two victories last week, but fell at Santa Fe Tuesday night. Details weren't available at press time, but according to the Gainesville Sun sports depart- ment, the Cats lost 3-2. I Between the Tuesday night's game and March 17, when Santa Fe beat the Cats at the Baker High field, the Raiders won just two of 11 games. With the loss, the Cats' record dropped to 14-9 with four games remaining in the regular season. , The district tournament begins April 24. In the week leading up to the Santa Fe game, the Cats racked up wins against Middleburg on: April 6 and Ridgeview April 10. Prior to that, however, they'd lost six of eight.

Wilson again came through with a two-out bunt that scored the go-ahead run as the Cats went on to win 8-5. Pitcher Jarrell Rodgers recov- ered from the shaky start to pick up the win. The Cats' next game is April 12 at home against Hawthorne. It is Senior Night, with the team's eight seniors being honored prior to the 7 pmi game.

And for the rest of you. I've got a good little heads up on a new oes . project ing its .. : rounds th . throughout our local planning d e p ar t - - ments and will most likely be hitting the Jaired L-lAerson. Reator streets in Sa couple of years... Adrian Development Group hailing from Coral Gables. Flori- da along with Prosser Hallock. Inc. of Jacksonville has chosen Baker County as the site of a new planned DRI. W hat's a DRI? DRI stands for Development of Regional Im- pact and more or less means that if all goes well with the ap- plication process and no one finds a nest -of-spotted owls along U.S. Highway 90 just west of Glen St Mary in the next year or so, then there's going to be a lot of construction going on dur- ing the next fifteen years in that area. Anthony Robbins, a senior planner for Prosser Hallock, spent last Wednesday morning meeting with members of local planning departments and vari- ous interest groups to explain the size, scope and purpose of the new DRI which is currently slated to be called Cedar Creek. According to the pre-applica- tion documents for the develop- ment, the land mass involved is projected to contain approxi- mately 3,012 acres (shown on maple and will provide for nearly 5,500 nev. residences com- ,posed of single family homes, town homes, condominiums. and workshop style apartments.

The Tony Robbins explains Cedar Creek to various groups and departments. Photo by Kelley Lannigan The above map shows the size and location of Cedar Creek. builders come in, get a few hun- dred permits for homes worked out, pave the roads, build the homes, add in an amenities center here and there in the nicer subdivisions, dedicate the roads back to the county and off they go to the next area. Cedar Creek is much more in- volved than that. Adrian Development Group's plan will be a bit more like a whole other city along the north- ern edge of Highway 90. Cedar Creelk will not only be full of houses, it will also include recreational parks, nature trails. bike paths, convenience stores, and over half a million square feet of retail shopping outlets, office spaces, and industrial centers: even two new schools are projected to be built on the site - one elementary and one middle. "This project is being sought in order to provide Baker County residents a complete lifestyle that affords the quality of life we all strive to live - - the ability to live and work in the same neigh- borhood, easy access to parks and educational facilities and commercial services within walking distance," according to Prosser Hallock, Inc. The application documents stress the importance of the Cedar Creek development in terms of the employment oppor tunities it will bring to Bakei County over the coming years. Obviously, 500,000 square feel of retail centers and offices will require a lot of warm bodies to man them, in addition to a one- million square-foot business park. Also, Prosser Hallock's plans for the development point out the added benefit of having many of the facilities for which Baker residents currently must drive to either Jacksonville or Lake City located right here in our own backyard. The plans are projected to be- gin construction in 2008 if all goes well with the approval process, which will include in puts from various agencies (See Page 2) THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, March 9, 2006 Section B - Page Two DRI planned for Glen (From Page 1) such as the Florida Department of Transportation, Division of Forestry, The. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion, The Baker County Fire De- partment, local law enforce- ment and the Baker CoLunty Chamber of Commerce. The current plans call for three distinct phases of devel- opment, each spanning a five year period adding almost 2,000 homes and 150,000 square feet of retail space dur- ing each phase. . In 2023, we should all be able to enjoy the total benefits .of our community's first full-on planned development. Having looked over all of the available plans in minute detail, Cedar Creek looks like it will be a great addition to the Baker County landscape. Don't call up the moving com- pany just yet, though...Cedar Creek is still in the very early portion of the application process. Environmental studies still have to be completed. Traf- fic impact assessments cover- ing a five-mile radius from the entrances of the development are planned, but not yet begun. And each department listed above will no doubt have their own suggestions and possible Objections that will alter Adrian. Development Group's plans somewhat over the coming years.

Covering almost 600 square miles and located 30 minutes west of lacksoimlle on Interstate 10, the area's population is poised to increase dramatically. Communities nearer the metropolitan Jacksonville areas are largely built-out, so development is moving West. In fact, the Board of County Commissioners recently considered a developer's petition to build 5,500 homes on 3,000 acres. The challenge for many years to come will be preserving the hometown pride and character of this friendly community in the face of development. Wiih growth will come change, and to remain a self-sustaining community, the County must ensure the optimum mix of residential/commercial/industrial land uses so its residents can live, work and play within its boundaries. With over 500 miles of dirt roads, improving the transportation infrastructure will be critical. Water and sewer services are lim- ited and provided by the city of Macclenny. They will need to be supplemented to support growth. The fire depart- ment is almost exclusively volunteers and the county's current staff of 85 and budget of $21 million will have to increase to support the additional services growth will demand. The County Commission has been stable. It is composed of five members who must reside in their districts, but who are elected at-large and serves staggered four-year terms. The group is forward thinking and recognizes the need to prepare for growth, to be ready to deal with developers and to ensure that the county's growth serves the long-term interests of all residents. While the Commissioners do not agree on everything and frequently express strong opinions, meetings are conducted in a collegial, professional, and respectful manner. The ideal candidate will have a track record of achievement and at least five years of progressively more responsible public sector experience in a high growth area. He/she will be personable, people oriented, friendly and open to the public, and will be someone with a common-sense approach to government. However, he/she will also be a "tough as nails" negotiator, fair and reasonable, and someone who will effectively represent the county's interests when dealing with developers and other parties. Financial management skills are also critical because the county's millage rate is already at 8.96. He/she will be creative, honest, a strong communicator, and have strong ethical standards. A Bachelor's degree is preferred, but applicable experience will be considered and may be substituted, Expertise and experience in utilities will be a significant plus. Salary DOQ, but the range is approximately $60,000 to $100,000. Forward resume to Recruit23@cb-asso.com before April 28, 2006. Mailed and faxed resumes will not be accepted.
