Paid circulation leader Winner of 21 state and national awards for journalism excellence in 2005 HE BAER COUY PRESS YONGE LIBRARY FLA HISTORY PO BOX 117007 UNIV FLA GAINESVILLE, FL 3261 1 to- to group's upgrading ofrailroad parking lot BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff Macclenny's downtown revital- ization effort, which already ap- peared to be languishing, is now faced with persuading CSX to al- low improvements on the railroad's right-of-way. The centerpiece of revitalization plans is the landscaping and light- ing of parking areas on Railroad Avenue, which runs along the north side of the tracks. Tentative plans also call for the street to be converted to two-way traffic. The Core Downtown Macclenny Group has been working with city officials to make improvements to Macclenny's core district bounded by Fifth Street and College Street between US 90 and the railroad tracks. They hope to stimulate business activity in the area to stem the pos- sible migration of customers to the Wal-Mart Supercenter and inevit- ably, other businesses being built at SR 228 and Interstate 10. At a meeting Ma\ 8 \with the Core Group, city planning and zon- ing officer Roger Yarborough said he'd spoken with a CSX represen- tative in a discussion he character- ized as "negative." "He was basically saying no more leasing, they just want to use [railroad rights of way] for loading. unloading." The city currently leases the right-of-way on the south side of the tracks. City manager Gerald Dopson noted that years ago one of CSX's corporate ancestors granted the city an easement to pave Railroad Street, which sits on the right of way. Attendees at Monday's meeting agreed the proposed improvements to the street would not extend any farther onto CSX property. Mr. Dopson said city officials would'be reluctant to lease the north side because of the cost, which he (Page two please) 1 Year, Vol. 4 Thursday May 11, 2006 Macclenny, Florida 504 Repeat offender Morning is given ... 20 year sentence ',; -.

Kellcy Lannigan BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff James Edward Moring, who received nothing more than a slap on the wrist after violating proba- tion four times in less than three years, violated once too often. Circuit Judge David Giant on May 8 sentenced him to 20 years in prison. Mr. Moring, 31, from Mac- cleno) but living in the Baldwin area when last free, was sentenced to five years' probation in Nov- ember 2000 after pleading no con- test to battery on a police officer. aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated attempt to elude police, and resisting arrest w ith violence.

It was, to those who knew it back in the 1940s and 50s, the old Barber slaughterhouse. The land prep contractor finished pushing down what remained of the landmark last week, but for Joe Barber, a retired chief deputy sheriff whose family owned much of the property pur- chased for the new mega-store, seeing it sitting in the back of the field brought back memories. Slaughterhouses aren't exactly the optimum workplace for reasons that needn't be clarified. But for the better part of two decades, the Baker slaughterhouse was an economic outpost of sorts in a Baker County that didn't have much in the way of commerce. Several of Mr. Barber's older brothers Ed and William (Dub) were much more involved in the operation than Joe, a teenager in the mid-1940s in the heyday. World War II created a demand for everything, and meat was no exception. It wasrationed, and what didn't go for the war effort A Sanderson man with a record of large-volume Mr..

Mr. Clayton was indicted by a federal grand jury in Jacksonville on April 27, charged with distribution of crack cocaine. The officers, Randy Crews and Matt Bowen of the federal task force, along with local investigators David Bryant and Scott\ Rhoden, found 17 ounces of pow- der cocaine in shoes underneath a bed and on a shef; 30 pieces of crack cocaine and a box containing plastic baggies commonly used in drug sales. The officers also confiscated $1651 in cash, most of it from the pocket of a pair of pants belonging to the accused. The indictment and warrant stem from two alleged drug buys back in October of on was d in July, 7 months prison for y to dis- caine, and n late er, 2003 to ve year ary period last )ear. On the 13th and 21st, a confidential source bought $500 worth of crack from the accused. A federal magistrate on May 5 agreed with the US Attorney's Office that Mr. Clayton be detained in cus- tody, in part because he has a past record of federal drug violations He was sen- tenced in July, 1999 to 57 month for conspiracy to dis- tribute cocaine, and released in late September, 2003 to begin a five year probationary period. The government will seek to re-sentence him for violating probation with the alleged drug sales. He is the latest of defendants whose activities have drawn the scrutiny of the federal task force based on the suspected large amount of trafficking they engage in. Sheriff Joe) Dobson described Mr. Clayton as a "big-time" drug dealer who based his operation mostly in the Sanderson area. "From what we can itll. he went right back in business after getting out of the prison, and we've been wanting to get him back out of circulation for a while." said the sheriff. after his arrest for assault on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest with- out violence. His probation was "modified," but he remained out of jail. In February 2002 he violated again by failing to take his medica- tion and continue mental health treatment. Two months later, he violated by failing to report to his probation officer. He was re-sentenced to two years probation. In September 2003 an arrest for disorderly conduct violated his pro- bation once more. Again, his pro- bation ,was modified to include 90 days of community control. Then, two years ago, he was ar- rested in connection with an arson at a Macclenny home. After that came an arrest for domestic violence (in September 2005) and a contempt of court charge (November 2005) % hen he became loud and belligerent during a court appearance and had to be restrained bN officers. "With Moring's history of vio- lence and violations of probation by violence, he is viewed as an active threat to open society," probation officer Charles Rogers w rote to the court prior to Monday's sentencing. Judge Giant ordered Mr. NMoring to serve five years for each of the four counts he'd pled to in November 2000. And he ordered the terms served consecutively. Mr. Moring will be credited for 1119 days already served. Still charged with the arson, he has until May 12 to accept a plea offer with prosecutors or go to trial May 15. The deal reportedly calls for a 20-year sentence to be served concurrently w ith his sentence from Monday. In other recent cases before Judge Giant: Devin Alan Sisler was sen- tenced to 99 months in prison for violating probation. Mr. Sisler, 24, had been placed on ten years' probation in March 2005 after pleading no contest to lewd behavior w ith a girl under the age of 16. He'd had sex three times with a 14-year-old Glen St. Mary girl. In May 2003, she would sneak out of her home to meet him. A friend of hers, however, told her parents who discovered her diary, which told of the sex. Prior to probation, Mr. Sisler had been sentenced to two;years in prison, although he apparently was released before his term was up. A string of three violations of probation began March 31 of this year when he was fired after one month on the job at the Baldwin Waffle House. Prior to that he worked in Macclenny with A Touch of Grass landscaping (one month), Taco Bell (four months) and Burger King (one month). His probation required him to (Page four please) Joe Barber points to the remains of the family's slaughterhouse before it was pushed over to make way for the Supercenter. was quickly bought up by the private sector using ration cards. The late Ed Barber first came up with the idea of a processing plant in Macclenny sometime during the 1930s, says his son of the same name. "He built it to slaughter cattle that belonged to his uncle Charles (Roe) Barber and my grandfather James (Ed) Barber," said the namesake, who like many descendants of the Barber clan resides just across Turkey Creek. The elder brothers owned an estimated 5000 head of cattle that grazed across several northeast Florida counties. The next ten years brought a number of contracts outside the family, most notably with Benny Setzer of Jacksonville, who owned a chain of neighborhood groceries.

"Usually the railroad's right --of-way is maintained for the support of railroad operations, but we do entertain requests and proposals....

Dopson said that Earth- works of Macclenny is prepared to . begin work on Railroad Street, but "would probably like assurances that [it's OK]." Core Group chairman Jim Mc- Gauley cautioned against the pro- ject losing momentum. "This has been languishing, and this CSX thing is irritating," he said. The group had hoped the city would apply for a Community De- velopment Block Grant to help fund the project, but city officials have yet to be presented with pre- lirninary engineering work needed to move forward with the process. Macclenny Commissioner Phil Rhoden said at Monday's meeting g parking tri bbard als'd would need a gener'- al tfimb frame and costs estimates. Dick Edwards, the city's grant, coordinator, said there's probably. not enough time to meet the dead- line for the upcoming CDBG ap- plication cycle. "It's best to skip this cycle," hel advised, adding that the next cycle starts February 1, 2007. Mr. McGauley said the group is aiming to have the basic informa- tion for city commissioners at their June meeting. "I'm concerned that if we don't get the engineering done in '06, if will drag on and on." He also said he'd like to have' the CSX situation resolved by then.

These phrases are. meant to describe events in a way. that everyone understands, but somewhere along the line, we're missing some important compo- nents of the truth. In fact. they often don't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I suppose that's wh) they are so popular with politicians. Here are some that I've compiled with the help of my pal, Cathy Bales. v' When a doctor tells you that something he or she is about to do might cause "a little discomfort," you'd best stand by for the kind of pain inflicted in a Turkish prison. A few years back, when my dentist could not remove a tempo- rary crown, he and I swear this is true brought out a blowtorch and told me it might cause "a little dis- comfort." If he hadn't have been leaning over me with that thing I'd have run for the hills. V When my wife bought our daughter Sara Beth a Barbie RV and it came with the phrase "some assembly required" emblazoned on the box, .Ishould have realized that to put thistlhing together I would have to go back to school and get a degree in mechanical engineering. It took me half the night to assemble a Barbie RV. The Winn- ebago people can probably assem- ble a real RV in half the time it took me to put together Barbie's. I hope she and Ken and Midge and Skipper had a good time at the Grand Canyon. V If a television weatherperson tells you that there is a "significant. indication" that a hurricane is like- ly to come ashore nearby, you'd better hide in the bathtub with a couple of tins of Vienna sausage and Yoo Hoo. You might be there for a while. / If Alan Greenspan's replace- ment at the Federal Reserve tells you that there may be a "slight ten- dency" for the stock exchange to "fluctuate," there's a good chance that people are going to be jump- ing out of windows at the New York Stock Exchange. Batten down the hatches for rough weath- er ahead. ; / If the president claims that he is "genuinely concerned" about the situation in some third world coun- try, that means that people in that country better start ducking and covering because it's only a matter ner. V If you are in the airport and hear an announcement that there will be a "slight delay," then start MY SIDE OF THE MATTrER walking. You'll probably get to Cleveland faster riding your thumb than: you will waiting for Fly By Night Airlines to arrive. V A "slight delay" can also apply to other things. If %ou want- ed the latest video game or action figure for your kid for Christmas and are told that there will be a "slight delay" in filling your order, you probably shouldn't expect it before Arbor Day. As a matter of fact, I think that I'm still waiting for that 12-inch red Power Ranger that I ordered in 1993 for my son Spencer's birthday. , V If a salesman tells you that there is a "negligible difference" between the car that you want at a lower price and the high priced car that he wants to sell you, it really' means that one of them has an engine and one of them has a squirrel on a conveyer belt. If he goes on to tell you that there is a "negligible difference" between the gas mileage of one as opposed to the other, that means you'd better put a second mort- gage on the house or befriend a Saudi prince. V If someone tells you that hav- ing that bass boat is "a mixed blessing," it means that you are in for a heap of trouble. "Mixed blessing" means that the 5 percent of the time you are actually out on the water is great and that the remaining 95 percent of the time it is a black hole that money falls into, never to appear again. V I was driving in downtown Jacksonville the other day and when I had finished what I was doing I tried to find the interstate. I 'got to the junction of 1-95, only to find that there was a "temporary detour." When you are dealing with the Department of Transportation, "temporary" could mean two days or two years, depending on whether that big drilling rig is just putting in a light pole or whether it One other thing about "tempo- rary detours." They never take you through scenic places like San Marco. They always take you through parts of town that resem- ble Baghdad on a bad day. The last "temporary detour" I took had signs for Podunk, One Horse Town, No-Man's Land and The End of the World. E If you have the misfortune of seeing a sign that says "Speed Limit Strictly Enforced," it means that behind every billboard is a' local officer ready to remind you that 45 mph really means 45 mph anid riot 46 nmph. These signs are .usually half the size of the one right in frobii 'of'you that says "temporary detour" which is lead- ing you into that speed trap. SIf someone claims that what you've just heard is a "slight understatement,",what it really means is an' outright, bold-faced LIE! V If someone is'described as having "questionable moral char- acter" then you'd better hold on to your wallet, it's about to take a major hit. That person is probably on the criminal justice track and will wind up in jail or high politi- cal office one day. V If someone tells you a child in your Sunday school class might be "a little difficult" you can read into it he is actually Damian from The Omen. Don't be surprised when he sets fire to the Nativity scene and turns his head around in a com- plete circle. V If something is described as "a challenge," it means that you'd better be a comic book superhero with an IQ: to equal Einstein's or you aren't going to have much luck. I've gotten to the point where I wish that people would just say what they mean. But, I guess there's not much chance of that. Pere a 'klutz' scores 1id mthe biker road games THE BACK PORCH I was standing along the road- beside Celebration Park in Glen St. MarN last Saturday when I received an unexpected proposal. The post-event festivities for the county volunteer fire department's third annual Ride With Fire benefit ride were underway and I'd stop- ped by to see what was happening. Members of the Route Hawgs motorcycle organization take part in the e\ent and bikes were every- where. Since, I carry a camera with me most of the time and the bike rodeo games were about to start, I was also scouting for a photo opportu- nity .'' . Suddenly, one of the bikers-. cam.p ,jo,to m.e nd asked "I'v. ost my partner, can you help me out?" This guy wants me? I thought in surprise. The event called.for teams of two people, but I certainly wasn't experienced in anything having to do with operating a motorcycle. In fact, until recently, it had been over 20 years since I last rode on one. I was thrown off on that fateful ride long ago and never had the desire to ride again. I could see he was really anxious to compete, so I swallowed any trepidation I momentarily felt, handed off my camera to someone I knew I could trust to watch it, then climbed.aboard the big Harley Davidson.

I can't play backgammon or Clue or card games of any kind. I don't understand strategy or scor- ing or the rules of games and 1I can't seem to learn them. I have tried and failed miserable , \When I was seven, it only took one neighborhood game of baseball in which I was jeered off the field for ineptitude to make me shy away from team sports for good. And in the sixth grade, I got my toe broken so badhl in a basketball game that I walked on crutches for two weeks. P.E. class in school was miser-. able. No one chose me for their team. It' was assumed I would be the last one standing on the.court or field after everyone chose their teammates. It wasn't a 'pleasant feeling. And the look on the faces of the team that ended up with me by default' wasn't pleasant either. It's hard to muster up the gumption to ven try when you know that nobody wants you. So I became better at other things. I read books. I became something of an! artist. I developed, my singing voice. I danced. Maybe I had no coordination on the . field,but I had more than my fair share on the stage. My "sport" became working out at the gym. There was a time I was in considerably better shape than many folks who had outshined me physically when we were younger. From time to time I tried things like dribbling a basketball or catch- ing a baseball, and even golfing. But.it just wasn't there. The one time I managed to actually hit a golfball at a driving.range, I hit the ball up over my head and it landed in the street behind me. I greatly envied people who were good at things like lacrosse, Associated Training Services and pole vaulting and polo and racketball. They seemed so far be- yond my reach. Back to the biker rodeo. As we got into position I noticed four orange caution cones had been set up along the shoulder of the road. When it was our turn I was handed four hula hoops. The object of the competition was this: The driver of the motor- cycle had to keep the bike on the outside of the double yellow line in the middle of the road. As we rode past, I was to .try to throw the hula hoops across the lane and over cones. I watched how the riders ahead of me were throwing the hoops. It didn't seem to be % working too well. I tried to mentally corripensate. When it was my turn, I missed the first t wo cones, but somehow read- justed the angle and force of my throw and got the hoop over the last two.. What a surprise! And what. a feeling. On our second pass, I fas more than ready. As we approached and passed the four cones, it worked like choreography. All four hoops sailed across and circled all four cones. I was about as amazed as S'\e ever been in my life. When they handed me my prize a gift certificate for dinner at a great restaurant out of to\\ n I almost cried. Remember, I was the kid who couldn't even play Red Rover and get it right and became too discour- aged in later life to even try. I once saw an 80-year-old woman drive up to the beach in a small truck and unload a surfboard. She was a bit bent over and a little shaky. It, took her a while to negoti- ate the stairs and boardwalk and get the board do\\ n to the beach. She never took her eyes off the water. There were stares and snickering along the way by the surfer.dudes who ruled the beach and the waves. When that little old woman got that board in the surf however, it was a different story. She blew those guys out of the water. The snickering and the laughing ceased and stares of amazement took their place. Before I left, I noticed that a group of the guys had gone over to talk to her and look at her board. On the bumper of her truck was a sticker that read: Just do It. Maybe in 30 years, when I'm close to eighty, I'll be that little old lady. In the meantime, where's that baseball bat? Your opinion counts...

"They also cut meat for a lot of the 'mom and pop' grocery stores over in Jacksonville and Winn- Dixie," said Ed Barber.- Joe Barber remembers working at the slaughterhouse as a teen, and the hundreds of animals shipped in by truck and at a rail- head behind the present day office of The Baker County Press. "They're sometimes be hun- dreds of head penned up on the property and most of them .who got here by train came from big ranches out in Texas." Slaughter operations come with their own nomenclature: the hold- ing pens, the killing floor, the guts buckets, the chilling room, the butcher tables. "You can imagine it wasn't the cleanest place in the world when they'd get/started during the day, but every night that place had to be scrubbed down and cleaned," recalls Joe Barber. "There was a USDA man there all the time to enforce the rules and inspect the meat." Every part of a carcass ended up used for something: the hides were salted down and hauled off daily by a processor; entrails and non-edible parts were boiled and rendered down for use in soap and other products. The blood that was' a different story. It flowed out through con- crete chutes pushed forward with a water rinse right in to Turkey Creek, a disposal method consid- ered primitive and illegal today. The Barbers processed meat for local farmers as well, and at its peak Joe Barber estimates a dozen or two were employed at any time. During the 1930's the plant burned but it was quickly rebuilt. The demise of Barber's slaugh- terhouse coincided with the emer- gence of large regional meat pack- ing plants that served both grow- ing grocery chains and privately owned stores. The Barbers aren't sure exactly when it ceased to operate, proba- bly the late 1950's, but the trees, vines and foliage gradually: began to envelope the site, hiding it from view on both the interstate and CR 228. , Until three weeks ago, when the huge bulldozers pushed past, and then finally pushed over, the relic of a bygone era.

Kiio Le,rng.ng 'Explion of mnalithere involving juvenileage partiants Sheriff's deputies found them- selves faced recently with an explosion of crimes by juvenile- age suspects, some acting alone and some acting in collusion with adults. The most serious of the inci- dents involved burglaries, one where, a front door was knocked down to steal prescription drugs, the other involving the theft of an estimated $3000 in jewelry. A witness to a breaking at Baker Manor Apartments in south Mac- clenny called police attention to a passing Ford Probe the evening of March 6 while the officers were processing the scene. Deputies Jimmy Stalnaker and James Parham III stopped the vehicle near SR 22S and ended up arresting two 16-veTar-bld male and two 17--year-old females" along with Angel Rhoden, 21, of Macclenny. Subsequent questioning led to burglary and grand theft counts against Ms. Rhoden and the two males, who witnesses at the apart- ments said entered the residence of 41-year-old Troy Mort. Ms. Rhoden is charged with acting as a lookout while one of the males kicked, open a front door. She initially told the youths, the occupant owed her money. One of the females is charged with driving the getaway Ford, and police say one of the males attempted to bring some of the stolen pills into county jail in a shoe. .. , Two of four suspects in a grand theft and burglary at the residence of Kathryn Ross near Taylor on May 6 are juveniles. The 16-)ear-old males, who live in the vicinity of God's Acre Lane, are charged along with Michael Burnette, 23, and William Rigdon, 19, with stealing watches, rings and bracelets from the mas- ter bathroom. Some of the items were sold for drugs and some were recovered. In other juvenile crimes: V A 15-year-old Baker High School student is charged with theft of an estimated $160 from teacher Marlys Thomas, all pro- ceeds from the sale of snacks. Other students reported seeing him take money on two days in late April, and the youth told his mother he was being paid $5 a day to help the teacher. ',\ A 16-) ear-old female'.isr"sus- petted of fleeing the Cato clothing store on South 6th about midday on May 6 when a store employee saw her stuff eight pairs of under- wear in a purse. . She was with another young female who also ran from the store when confronted. Deputy Matt Hilliard contacted the girl's moth- er, who said she hadn't been home for several days. VA 15-year-old male is charged with the theft of two bicycles from the residence of Carol Finkle on Stoddard St. in Macclenny ov- ernight on May 5. Both bikes were recovered, one in a nearby field and the other next to the suspect's house. V Campus deputy Tracie Ben- ton arrested a 12-year-old male student at Baker Cbunty Middle School for battery on two other students the morning of May 4.

The new ordinance was approv- ed by the Baker County Com- mission last month, and means members of the Code Enforcement Board whose terms are near expira- tion may be appointed to an addi- tional three-year term. When the initial reappointment of three years is concluded, the new amendment allows members to continue to serve additional three-year terms indefinitely with commission's approval. Current members of the Code Enforcement Board, by unanimous vote of the county commissioners, were recently reappointed to serve a three year term and were official- ly notified of the appointments by ,letter. The code board in its May, 8 meeting ruled on four cases involv- ing citations for violations. James Wright of Deerfield Cir- cle was cited for excessive refuse, which included five apparently abandoned vehicles. Mr. Wright, pleading extenuat- ing circumstances, asked for and was granted a 30-day extension from May 8 to bring his property into compliance. Failure to comply will result in a $75 fine for the first day beyond the extension and $15 per day thereafter. Samuel Miller, of a different ad- dress on Deerfield Circle, was cited for excessive refuse and mo- bile home skirting violations. Samuel Miller's sister Georgia Miller appeared before the board on behalf of her brother who is presently incapacitated. Ms. Miller, pleading extenuat- ing circumstances, was also grant- ed a 30-day extension with the same fine structure if the property is not brought into compliance. Ricky Taylor of Lila Harvey Road was cited for a mobile home non-skirting violation. Notice of violation was issued January 17, 2006 and again on February 27. Multiple attempts to contact Mr. Taylor by certified mail and in person have been ignored. Mr. Taylor did not appear at the May 8 meeting. The board agreed to designate the Taylor case as a "no response" non-compliance case. It agreed to a ten day extension, but failure to comply will result in the fine of $250 the first day beyond the end of the extension and $100.00 for each day there after for a maximum of up to 180 days. Michael Wilcox of Fred Harvey Road was cited for a non-skirting violation. As of May 8, as reported by code enforcement officer Glen Patten, Mr. Wilcox was found to be in compliance and the case was dismissed.

The new space. which Mr. Hill estimated would be 1800 2000 square feet, would house the fin- ance/utilities operations currently located just inside the Macclenny Avenue entrance to city hall. STe move would clear the way for a drive-through window where ccustomers pay utility bills. The building and zoning depart- ment, which is now located farther inside city hall, would slide to the space vacated by finance. ,The resulting space could be used to help accommodate expect- ed growth in staff. Meanwhile, in the back of the building, the city manager's office w would ,be combined with the city secretary\ 's office to form a confer- ence room, which would be con- rinected to the commission cham- bers.. 'Those two would move into offices in the new wing. Mr. Hill said he had no firm cost .'figures, bit with the board's green light he can "...go further to get, :concrete figures." Two key aesthetic aspects of the plan are landscaping/green space and lighting that matches plans already in motion for the revitaliza- tion of thedowntown area just to the west of city hall. Hill said he envisions a kind of miniature park, "a garden-type thing," perhaps with benches, nes- tled between the wings of the pro- ,.posed building. That ideal, hoveTers depend- ent upon how much parking will be needed. The preliminary concept draw- ing allows for just 19 spaces. "I can get more in there, but ,wanted to leave green space," Mr. Hill said. He added that more spaces may open up along the railroad tracks as part of the revitalization effort. The city is also looking into expanding to the east if it can ac- quire the land. In other action at Tuesday's meeting, commissioners: Granted a three-month grace period for Geneva Rhoden, owner of The Glass Menagerie on Mac- clenny Avenue, to comply with a city ordinance prohibiting mer- chants from placing their wares on public rights of way. City- manager Gerald Dopson said the move to revitalize the downtown area has prompted the 'city to be more vigilant in enforc- ing its code there. "We've been a little relaxed on some of these ordinances because, quite honestly, we... had trouble getting businesses to come there," he said. Ms. Rhoden argued that her merchandise does not block the sidewalk. Cabinets stolen * Someone made off with cabi- nets valued at $1265 from a con- struction site the weekend before last. The assembled cabinets were inside a yet-to-be-completed home on Islamorada Dr. in the Cypress Pointe subdivision. They were the property of Maronda Homes. St. George homecoming The annual St. George, Ga. school homecoming will be on Saturday, May 27 beginning at noon at the family life building of the First Baptist Church of St. George. The special honoree this year is Irene Parish, whose teaching ca- reer in the St. George community spanned 27 years. Please bring your favorite cov- ered dish and join us for lunch and an afternoon of renewing aquaint- ences, sharing old school memo- ries and honoring Ms. Parish, who contributed so much to so many Greg Griffis, who is wheelchair- bound, attended the meeting to support Ms. Rhoden. He said he had no problems traversing the area in front of her store, and that even when he's sitting there pedes- trians can still walk through. Ms. Rhoden also argued it's not fair for the city to force her to change the way she's been doing business for 14 years. City attorney Frank Maloney, however, said she couldn't be grandfathered in because the ordi- nance was in place before she set up shop. Finally, she pointed to other business who she believed were in violation, including a store across the street displaying tires outside. Mr. Dobson, however, said the tires are on private property, not the sidewalk, which is a public right- of-wa. Commissioners discussed a spe- cial exception for her or voiding the law, but expressed concern it w would "open Pandora's Box." "Geneva is not the only issue here." said Mayor Gary Dopson. "It must apply to every one else... and %we're just asking for trouble if we do atwa% with the ordinance." Commissioner Phil Rhoden of- fered a compromise under which Ms. Rhoden would be given a grace period to notify her cus- tomers of the pending change. Earlier, she said she was worried that people would drive by and think she x% ere closed if they didn't see items out front.

Herman Solano, 50. was lying in the bed of an eastbound pickup truck pleading for help after it was stopped shortly after it merged onto Interstate 10 from the SR 121 interchange. Deputy James Parham III said he saw the 1998. Ford Ranger moments before and followed it onto the interstate. A witness to a fight in the park- ing lot of the Thomas Rhoden real - ty office at South 6th and Bou- levard alerted the sheriff's de- partment with a description of the vehicle. The caller said he witnessed the fight between Mr, Solano and the driver of the pickup, 37-year-old Mitchell Lewis, and that the for- me %sAiead asTco\, r m b---.W ' The officer said both men ad- mited to drinking heavily that af- ,ternoon, and Mr. Lewis said he struck Mr. Solano in the head with a beer bottle. The initial argument started when they, along with Mar- ia Olson, 51,. also of Jacksonville, were riding in the Osceola Nation- al Forest. SThe two men were fighting and arguing in the Macclenny parking lot when spotted by witnesses who became alarmed at the amount of blood on Mr. Solano's head. Deputy Adam Faircloth said he had to threaten Mr. Lewis with a Taser gun to get him to cooperate during questioning. He was treated at the scene for injuries received in the fight, and Mr. Solano was taken by rescue unit to Shands when inclement weather, prevented a helicopter ,transfer. t His injuries apparently were not as serious as first believed, and he was released the following day. Mr. Lewis was. booked into county jail for aggravated battery, driving with a -license suspended six times and having an improper license tag. ,A- criminal complaint was filed charging Mr. ,Solano with aggra- vated battery.

Sheriff's deputies made several arrests the past week for both vehi- cle theft and thefts of property from vehicles. Jonathan Parish, 29, of Jack- sonville is charged with possession of a 1990 Toyota on May 6 that had been reported stolen earlier in Jacksonville. Deputy Brad Dougherty said he checked the license on the vehicle after following it to the parking lot of Cuz's Store in downtown San- derson that afternoon. Moments earlier, the deputy said Mr. Parish and trwo occupants acted suspiciously after turning around on US 90. The occupants, a 26-year-old male from Sander- son and a female. 29. of NMacclen- n\, were not charged. They said Mr. Parish told them he purchased the Toyota in Jack- sonville for $1700 and had been staying in Baker County for sever- al days.

I'm 'one lazy' dude.: . I have a website I pay someone else to update with the latest and greatest real estate-related news articles from all across North America. That way, I can keep up . with all of that stuff in one 1 . handy-dandy source and I don't actually have to copy and paste it all to the site myself. Maybe in time, I'll be able to get away with call- Jared Wilkerson. Realtor ing that "good time management skills" instead of just lazy, but for right now, it sounds like a good opener for an article. I was browsing my own site links the other day when I came across an article regarding what many real estate experts are calling "the year of the apartment." The theory is something I've seen and heard about for a few months now, and I think I'm just about ready to hop on board with it. in order to understand the thinking behind the projected rise in apartment occupancy for 2006, it is important to note the recent activ- ity here in our own market area. In the summer of 2005, homes in the Northeast Florida area were selling like hot- cakes...really, really expensive .hotcakes. Sellers were getting pretty much whatever they were asking for their homes and real estate agents knew if their buyers liked a house, there was no "think it over for a day or so" lines that could be offered. In fact, there weren't even any "taking the time to drive back to the office to draw up the contract" options. I'd wager that 90 percent of the contracts on successfully obtained home sales last summer were written right there on the kitchen tables of the homes being purchased, before the buyers ever left. the showing appointment. :.The competition was indeed fierce. Probably the most r, significant factor that 75.L "t brought about this mar- "., ket anomaly was the outstandingly low inter- est rates for home loans at the time. - Buyers could afford to borrow more money than they were accus- tomed to having access to and sellers wanted all of it. That was okay, though, because the lower interest rate meant that it cost less money to borrow those higher amounts and thus, the payments were still low. As a result, many of the people who were considering purchasing a home at the time decided to go for it. Real estate agents saw a huge increase in the total sales volume as opposed to the previ- ous few years and house listings were tough to come by. Sadly for the realtors, homeowners who knew a little about selling a home themselves didn't need us quite as much as normal in order to find people fighting over their homes. We're loving it now, though. Interest rates are up (although they're still pretty good) and most of the buyers are now sellers and fewer people are lining up to become buyers again. Homes, on the market are already taking longer to sell and For Sale By Owners now get fewer calls than an asbestos insulation com- pany. However, even though sales appear to be slowing down a bit and rising interest rates are slowly but surely starting to knock more and more potential buyers out of the market across the nation, home prices are still con- As the number of renters increase more apartment buildings will be built. tinuing to rise. This makes it even tougher for folks to find homes that truly suit the needs of both their families and their wallets. The would-be buyers who cannot' qualify for these high-priced homes at the current inter- est rate still need to relocate. Young people still need to move away from home. Lower income families still need a place to stay. One answer to their problems is renting instead of buying. My office is co-located with a property man- agement office run by my company that han- dles rental properties in the greater Jacksonville area. I see more and more people walking through those office doors daily. More often, I speak with agents who ultimately had to refer homeowner hopefuls: to that office for: the time being. There's a huge problem with this situation, though. The number of available rental units in an area is kept prettymuch in check according to the population because land- lords don't like vacancy rates in their units. They want to make sure that there are just enough rentals available to cover the likely number of people that will rent in the area. That narrows their profit and loss margins to steady and predictable income levels. Here's what happens a-little farther down the road in this scenario: The number of renters begins to exceed the number of available rental units. Supply and demand dictate the prices of these units will rise in order to reflect the higher demand. (See Page 2) Bealls, restaurant planned for new strip mall BY MICHAEL DRINKER Press Business If you've driven on Sixth Street just south of Lowder in the past couple of weeks, you probably noticed site preparation work being done on the vacant lot on the west side. It probably comes as no, surprise that it's going to be a shopping center, which will be anchored by a Bealls department store, according to tentative plans filed with the city of Macclenny. The tenants aren't written in stone, but for now include Dick's Wings restaurant, Aaron's rental store, a check cashing store, and St. Johns Seafood restaurant. The parking lot will front Sixth Street the length of the shopping center, with the businesses set toward the back of the property. There has been some behind-the-scenes action that changed and may fur- ther change how the center looks when it's completed.. Reportedly, Fred Rhoden, owner of Woody's restau- rant, had planned a unique eatery for the far south end of the parcel. It was to have a "swamp" theme with a large dining area facing the creek. The idea must have been tabled because it's not included on the site plans. Conversely, Domino's Pizza is on the plans but apparently is staying in its space in' the Winn-Dixie shopping center. Bill Gross, of W.H. Gross Construction, which is build- ing the center, did not return a phone call. The Blue Haven: restau- rant, well remembered by long-time residents, has been purchased after years of sitting unused and deteri- orating at the southeast cor- ner of Fourth Street and Macclenny Avenue.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, May 11, 2006 Section B Page Two 2006: A space oddity (From Page 1) Landlords will begin build- ing new apartment units and renting out more houses in order to maximize their prof- its by competing on price with other landlords. As soon as the rise in rent charges reaches a level at which renters realize that at these payments, they may as well just buy a house, then that's what they'll begin to do agaip. Meanwhile, however, the homeowners will all be get- ting hair replacement surgery to replenish all the roots they pulled out trying to find someone to purchase their homes so they could move. The prices of homes will have most likely come down just a bit in order to steer people away from renting when they could own. It meets there in the middle somewhere and for a time, neither sellers nor landlords will be very happy with the outcome. Those of you who read my. articles with some regularity are now wondering how I could write this article after recently telling people who are worrying about their future property values to stop doing so. Well again, don't worry. This won't happen overnight. It'll take years of struggle between homeowners and landlords before .it tips one way or the other.

There are several For Sale By Owners I spoke with months ago who still have not sold and have yet to decide to list with an agent. My advice is to get into holding a few rental proper- ties if you can afford to you won't be sorry over the com- ing years. Be prepared for some fierce competition with the new subdivisions if you might be moving soon. They can afford to offer monetary' incentives to their buyers to carry them through the low sales periods which you alone cannot. Attempt to sell your home yourself if you must, but set a timeline for, achieving some measurable results iIP~MLS 1~t~ and then turn it over to a marketing professional if you don't achieve them. They're calling 2006 "the year of the apartment." All we can do is wait is see.

The city's zoning adjust- ment board on May 8 ap- proved a variance for Les Stone, owner of LV Hiers Oil, to build new office/ware- house facilities to replace the existing one. He had considered asking for the property to be, desig- nated light industrial, but was advised to seek the variance rather than a blan- ket rezoning. "The neighbors might feel more comfortable that it's not industrial," city manager Gerald Dopson said at a Macclenny commission meeting last month. The site has been a long- time eyesore amid the sur- rounding residential neigh- borhood. Mr. Stone, who said he worked for the company 30 years and has owned it for about two, said he is "trying, to do the best I can for the neighborhood." The 40-feet-by-110-feet metal building will sit on a flat concrete slab and will have sloped roof that peaks at 20 feet. Mr. Stone said more than, half the building will be of- fice space, and added, "I will do a good job on land- scaping," which will include a barrier hedgerow. 0 0 Walgreens' move into the county hit an unlikely snag recently when company offi- cials were told they can't erect a sign near the inter- section of Fifth and Lowder streets. The sign would violate Macclenny's sign ordinance. The store is planned for the old health department property at the corner of Sixth and Lowder, which the company bought from the county. However, the sign, planned for the east side of Fifth, is on city property. One alternative is to place the sign on the west side of the street on the post office property, which is owned by the county. A spokesman for the de- veloper, however, said Wal- greens will not pay for addi- tional land on which to place the sign. County officials are work- ing on a solution.
