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

Slaughterhouse

Remains of local relic rise up
out of 50 years of underbrush
at site of new Wal-Mart

BY JIM McGAULEY
Press Publisher
As the giant machinery cleared out a half-century of under-
brush and noisily ground it up into a brownish-red mulch at the
site of the new Wal-Mart Supercenter recently, the skeleton of a
block structure rose on the west end of the 20 acres at the corner
of SR 228 and Interstate 10.
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

When the investigators, tribute co
three of whom are from
Baker County, knocked on released i
the door to arrest Arnold Septembe
Clayton at his residence off serve a fti
Clayton Ave. that after-
noon, they ended up seiz- probation
ing a sizable amount of
drugs and cash. 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

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

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.

estimated at $10,000, and that
"there is no assurance they would
allow us to do the project en-
hancements we want to do there."
He said there is a "feeling of.
uncertainly."
Another CSX official, however,
offered clarification when contact-
ed by The Press.
"We don't have a blanket.poli-
cy," Gary Sease said Monday
afternoon. "Usually the railroad's
right --of-way is maintained for
the support of railroad operations,
but we do entertain requests and
proposals.... We then determine
whether the proposed modifica-
tions would have a negative
impact on the safety of opera-
tions."
To reach that stage, however, he
said CSX would need more spe-
cifics on the project.,
The city has already agreed to
spend $20,000 to make improve-
ments to public space in the core
area.
Officials would then extend the
landscaping and lighting motif to
the planned expansion of city hall.

r. 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

Dick Edwards, the city's grant,

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.

%what they mean. 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

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.

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.
Our e\ ent w as the ring toss.
."Oh no!" I thought td myself.
This was bad. I; don't do games or
competitions or athletic events. I

don't do anything that involves a
stick or a bat or ball or ring or rack-
et or board. Nada.
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?

remains of

slaughter-

house on lot
(From page one)
(Mr. Setzer's retail interests
later evolved into the Pic N Save
chain, now defunct.)
"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.

'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.

A change to an ordinance of the
Baker County Land Development
Regulations will impact the length
of terms that .appointed members
of the Code Enforcement Board
are allowed to serve.
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.

City approves further


expansion planning


for Macdenny offices


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
Macclenny commissioners told
their planning consultant Tuesday
night to develop more detailed
plans, for a proposed expansion of
city hall.
,Marvin Hill presented commis-
sioners with a "conservative" pre-
liminary concept drawing of a new
wing running perpendicular from
the back of the current building
into the parking lot.
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.
Appro ed the second reading
of a rezoning request b\ American
Enterprise Bank. which h clears the
way for its Turkey Creek Branch to
be built on a tract on the eastside of
Fifth Street just south of Lowder
Street.
Approved a $59,800 contract
with Gainesville' engineer Frank
Darabi to study the impact that
doubling capacity of the sewer.
treatment plant would. have on'
Turkey Creek. The study is
required by the Florida Department
of Environmental Protection.
Authorized the city manager to
look into the feasibility of a
stormwater drainage project in the
southeast quadrant of Macclenny.

'Bloody fight participant is

around "--in the forest" on Nla\ 7
and resumed in the parking lot of a
Maccklnn) realtor ended with one
of them in Shands Jackson\ ille
with a serious head injurN.
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

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.

oddity


By Jared Wilkerson :

I have a confession to make. 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.

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.

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-

their homes so they could

The prices of homes will
have most likely come down

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.

(From Page 1)
Oscar Gray, owner of
Dependable Heating and Air,
is the buyer and reportedly is
considering a few options for
the property, although resur-
recting the diner is not one
of them.


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.

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.
Contact Michael Rinker if
you have any information (and
yes, that includes rumors)
about new businesses coming
to Baker County, changes
planned for existing business-
es, or any real estate news. He
can be reached by phone
259.2400 or by email at bc-
