HISTORY PO BOX 117007 UNIV FLA GAINESVILLE, FL 326311 County to Dupont: do better than that Board wants roads in Deerfield paved as part of mining pact BY MICIAEL RINKER Press Staff Baker County commissioners are playing hardball with the huge Dupont corporation, rejecting the company's offer to pay $210.000 for permission to extend its titani- um mining operations across Deer- field Estates Road and CR 228. Dupont is offering an estimated $65,000 in royalties and a $145,- 000 donation to the counts for "inconvenience relief," especially for Deerfield Estates residents.. In a letter to the commission, Dupont plant manager David J. Podmeyer also said the company's ongoing mining operations in extreme southeast Baker County 7 generate $385,000 in county taxes. 0 The "total tangible benefits" to t the county, therefore, would be t $595,000, in the company's view. d Dupont wants to mine north i across Deerfield Estates Road, then a north-northeast across and along s CR 228. t It proposes to build a temporary n 1.1-mile Limerock road to bypass G the portion of Deerfield Estates ,, Road it will be mining. P The company estimates it will a take three months to complete the b project after which it would rebuild t the approximately 400-foot section of the road it must dig up, then close the bypass. b Plans for CR 228. however, call n for permanent relocation of a 1.44- , mile section of the road. Dupont would give the county title to the road after mining was completed. The county had originally asked Dupont to pave the dirt roads in Deerfield Estates. County road sup- erintendent Robert Fletcher esti- mates the cost at $465,000. Commission Chairman Alex Rob- inson, whose district includes Deer- field and its approximately 75 resi- dents, took the offer to Dupont. G "I figured we could save a little maintenance because we. wouldn't have to send our graders down P there again and again," he said. After several meetings, compa- A ny representatives seemed to be is co leaning toward accepting the deal, ers c but it was later rejected.

A Dupont again rejected the offer enou and came back with the $210,000 force in royalties and inconvenience re- to fu lief. and Mr. Robinson called the propos- comic al "unacceptable."

End of the school year activities- Thursday: Keller, 5th grade awards 9:15 am; Macclenny Elementary, 3rd grade promotion 9:30 am Friday: Last day of school Report cards Early dismissal BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff The county's search for a man- ager is down to five candidates - three from Florida, one from Pen- nsylvania and one from Michigan, but none from Baker County. All but one has experience in government administration, but the exception Michael Brown, direc- tor of special projects for the Northeast Florida Regional Plan- ning Council has expertise in growth matters, which is probably the county's most important issue. In addition to Mr. Brown. the other candidates are: *Lyndon Bonner, city manager of Bunnell. Fla.; *Richard Casey, McKean Coun- ty (Pa.) administrator; *George Hunt, community man- agement director tor Barefoot Bay, Fla.; and *Michael Nagy. city manager of Marine City. Mich. Colin Baenziger, who was hired by the county commission to con- duct the candidate search, said he received 34 applications by the deadline of April 28. The recruit- ment advertisement ran a little more than three weeks. Although he targeted Florida candidates, he received applica- tions from eight other states, in- cluding Texas and New York. Eleven Macclenny residents and three from Glen St. Mary also applied, but didn't make the cut. Mr. Baenziger selected nine of the 34 applicants, but four with- drew their names for various rea- sons, including one who found Baker County to be too rural and one who objected to the rigorous background checks.

Vith DRIs, you're in the driver's seat, not with the smaller ones," school superintendent Paula Barton said during last week's task force meeting held at Macclenny city hall. County planning chief Cathy Rhoden said,, ."We can tell them, 'If you bring in 100 units, you're going through a mini-DRI process." Unlike impact fees, however, the additional ,, nt assessment won't apply to s not people building their own to raise t homes. The plan would cover the tax b as few as three units and here- the range up to the DRI threshold of 625, accord- erS must ing to Mr. Rhoden. t "As quickly as we can, the servi we'll come up with a for- they gen mula, but we'll need to get with a land-use attorney to Com be sure of what we can Growth coL and can't do," he said. There have been discussions about the local governments splitting the costs of an attorney if they all can agree on one. Mr. Rhoden saidA early this week fair ax as dnd tP ce er . Pt unc Superintendent Barton indicated the school district favors the idea. He also said he thinks county commission Chairman Alex Robinson would approve it as well.

In addition to being at an estimated 124 percent capacity if the currently approved developments are "built out," some schools have run out of property and based in Wellington, Fla., will pro- vide commissioners with a '"note- book on interviewing" by May 23. It will be about two or three inches thick, including resumes, his notes from interviews with the candi- dates. sample questions, notes from references and background research. Two days later, he'll sit down individually w ith the commission- ers to discuss each candidate. Commissioners will review the material and decide which candi- dates will be brought to Baker County for interviews An informal reception will be held June 9. probably in the com- mission chambers, and would like- ly include community leaders. Mr. Baenziger said that a large part of a manager's job is representing the county at similar functions, for in- stance. Chamber of Commerce mixers or Rotary Club meetings. The next morning, commission- ers would meet individually with the candidates, then as a full board following a short break for lunch. There may be an opportunity at that stage for citizens to submit written questions to the candidates. On June 12, the commission will hold a special meeting to choose the next county manager. Baenziger said his firm also will help or fully negotiate the con- tract. They'll also do a six-month fol- low-up to help iron out any small wrinkles that may pop up. The firm also guarantees that if the new manager leaves in the first year, it will repeat the search for free. If the manager leaves in the second year, the firm will repeat it, and charge just for expenses. The guarantee is void if the (Page two please) -DRI 'fees can't expand. Even if they could, the money isn't available, according to Ms. Barton. Also, there is several years lag time before new schools can be up and running, so any money from the initial wave of development fees won't immediately pro- vide space for the children coming into the county. Ms. Barton said that based on De apartment of Education requirements, per student costs in Baker County are $22,000- plus for high school, $17,000-plus for mid- dle school and $15,000-plus at the elemen- tary level. If and when the task force settles on an attorney, it must decide how to implement the new fees. "For us to work together, we need an interlocal agreement," Ms. Rhoden said. "We can do that at the same time we set the fees." Mr. Rhoden agreed, saying, "We don't want developers playing us off each other." Task force members backed off previous discussions of a moratorium.

Growth group on the right track There's more to like all the time about the "growth study group" made up of elected and appointed officials whose governmental depart- ments will be most affected by predicted resi- dential growth here in Baker County. Represented by the county, Macclenny, Glen St. Mary and the school district, the group doesn't yet have a name, but what's in a name? It's what the officials are talking about that's important. Last Friday the momentum E swayed toward formulating IM PRE the "same message" to pre- sent to developers when they .. come in and plan to build large subdivisions where they are now planted pines. Second, the group seems determined to lower the bar on development size before it trig- gers a DRI (development of regional impact) type study, which would determining just what services from roads to schools to hospital beds needed to accommodate the added population. DRIs can also include commercial and industri- al growth, but Florida seems most concerned about the immediate burdens posed by more people no more jobs. Currently, a DRI process is triggered by developments of 625 homes and above. What the local group appears headed for is a much smaller number. Said another way why wait for that high a threshold when everybody knows urban blight can result just as easily from several smaller Rudeness ruined the . graduation ceremonies Dear Editor: When I think of graduation, I think of families getting together to celebrate a great accomplishment : in a young person's life. The graduation itself is a cere- mony, not much different than a Avail wedding. It is a time when every- one celebrates before and after, and joins in watching the occasion unfold as each speaker steps to the microphone telling the graduates how far they have come in 13 years of school. The valedictorian and other graduates make speeches they spend lots of time preparing and. the audience is eager to hear what each one has to say. At least some of the audience. I was in the stands Friday with quite a few of my family members s to watch my sister graduate. It didn't take long to realize that in our section, not many people were SUg interested in the graduation itself, but rather "reminiscing," as one young man put it. a The speeches were probably StO great wish I could have heard them. I would have liked to have If you h heard my sister's name called as think we she walked across the stage. As it jamesn was, we had to follow the program list and try to keep up so we THE cheered for the appropriate person. Most appalling was that the loud, annoying people behind us were not 104 Sou not young, but old enough to know 259 how to talk softly or not at all during the important parts. My 4-year-old son behaved much better than the so-called adults around us, Not only were they speaking loudly, from start to finish, but they made crude comments and said words I would rather my child not hear, much less repeat. Graduation itself was effectively ruined due to the ignorance of a handful of people. For my family members who traveled many miles to see the ceremony, I'm sorry for the behavior of the people around us. Maybe next year tickets should be given out so only the ones inter- ested in the seeing their loved one graduate can enjoy and join in the occasion. Thankfully, I don't have to make that trip again for 15 years! JESSICA PREVAT r Sanderson developments as from a 625 home tract. In fact, the impact from three such develop- ments is probably more taxing than from a sin- gle one. In any case, the argument is academic - both create almost an instant demand for ser- vices and infrastructure. If the state lets us get away with it. Baker County should demand accountability from developers in tracts as low as 25 or 50 homes. Access roads, utility lines and | umu ~the like will cost somebody, SSIONS somewhere along the line. Of course, the ultimate cost a nn of impact, at least initially, is ^ .- borne by the people who pur- chase the new homes. Developers pass on the added costs and walk away when a tract is "built out." Nothing wrong with that. New homes and the people who live in them create the demand, regardless of whether they lived in or outside- Baker County before moving into a new devel- opment. Ditto for older couples whose children no longer are school age. They can't be exempted from school-related costs. Comments from members of the growth board suggest they are catching on quick to the reality that 2006 is the time tb act, and for everyone to get on board with the same mes- sage. There is sentiment that we still have time to do this right though the crunch seems fast approaching. Some elected officials are content to "kick the can down the road" and let succ worry about the problems, but they ar minority. And if they oppose growth the erally have enough sense to keep it to selves and their close confidants.

It contains a little bit of uraged everything I've got some serious all this stuff, some goofy stuff and some stuff for your burgeoning entrepre- ,hoden neur. p with There are moments in a person's lpy one life that call for a little solemnity v, hone and dignity. Certainly weddings n, he's and funerals, but graduation also uld be ranks right up there. I remember bers. feeling very important and serious when I walked across that field many, many years ago. That feel- ing also made its way into the stands, where my parents and a couple thousand others were dress- ed up and ready to celebrate this momentous occasion. I was at Memorial Field on Friday to celebrate with my niece, IiT Fs Ashton,Norman:.i As a high school ,. teacher, I go to a lot of graduations S and have seen the entire ceremony change over the last few years. Gone are the days of solemnity for many people. We're in the real- ity television generation and it shows. The graduation ceremonies S: sounded like a sporting event, with air horns, booing and general rau- S cousness. I kept waiting for a hockey game to commence. That's right, air horns at graduation. I suppose they were brought to signal when a: friend's or relative's name, was called. But the temptation was tpo great and people were sounding air horns all through the ceremony. Kids being kids, there were also the smuggled beach balls that they batted around as the ceremony pro-, gressed. Fans of Graduationfest 2006 cheered from the stands. I didn't mind that nearly as much as what happened when the school admin- istrators confiscated the beach balls. Every time Doug Register or Melody Coggin grabbed one there was loud chorus of boos. I'm not exaggerating when I say that a third of the crowd loudly booed and catcalled. I thought I was at a professional wrestling match. ,, "In the blue corner,,at,5'7" and 105 lbsl the valedictorian -..." Speaking of the valedictorian, at times during her speech it was hard to hear because of all the noise and talking coming from the, crowd. That's depressing. Add to that the fact that some graduates thought that they were on American Idol, doing entire choreographed. dance routines or cartwheeling across the stage when their name was called. Whatever dignity was in the ceremony quick- ly disappeared. Maybe I'm a dinosaur and the time for dignity is long past, replaced by a football game men- tality. We'll see in a few years when air horns and booing start showing up at weddings. On a happier note, I was pleased to note an article on the Fox News website. It seems that some entre- preneurs in Tennessee have discov- ered a new use for their old moon- shine stills. It seems that moonshine has many of the same properties as ethanol. With just a little tweaking, a moonshiner can get his home- made brew to burn in the family F- 150. Using corn, apples, or sugar cane, a still can turn out 190 proof grain alcohol that will burn in a similar way to Ethanol and reduce by a third a family's fuel cost. The best part is that it is completely legal. No revenues perched up in trees with binoculars. The shiners started a family business called Dogwood Energy, turning out low cost stills that are just right for the fuel conscious. They've sold about 125 stills. Mixing corn with yeast, water and sugar and then letting the mix- ture sit for a couple of days makes close to three gallons of ethanol, which is blended with gasoline. The cost of the ethanol and the gasoline from the pump creates a mixture of blended gas that comes out to about $1.09 a gallon. Since Baker County used to be the moonshine capital of Florida, this could be a real cottage indus- try for the area. He&k, forget about Texas oil men. we could have Bak- er County Shin-anol men. Who needs Texaco when you can have Shinaco? The county's motto could by "Shin-anol, Drink it or Drive it." ' It works for me. A testimonial might read like this: Elmo D. Mott. Shin-anol user, claims it "works just great. It back- fires a little, but I got flames coming' outta my tailpipe. Watch old Bessie go. A course, if you drink the stuff you'll have flames coming' outta your tailpipe, too!" The crazy thing about this story is that it seems so plausible. I imagine making this home brew is a little tricky. It's got to be tougher than it sounds and I wonder if car engines are affected by this mix- ture. Besides, I remember stories of stills blowing up. Under the right conditions Baker County could produce the next John D. Rockefeller. Workers at the National Se- curity Agency in charge of moni- toring and tracking Americans' phone calls raised the national security index to orange after the use of telephones spiked on Mother's Day. They weren't sure whether the increase was due to people calling their mothers to tell them that they loved them, or some insidious terrorist plot. The NSA is welcome to track my telephone calls. If' they think that I am a security risk by order- ing a cheese pizza with light sauce, they have too much time on their hands. I imagine that they could track some pretty bizarre phone records. Tom Cruise keeps trying to call Uranus and Pluto to get instruc- tions for what to say on the next Oprah show. The NSA got the first news that Brittany Spears was pregnant again when it intercepted a call to Baskin-Robbins for a delivery of three gallons of pistachio. ice cream with pickles. The agency did get a sniff about the whereabouts of Osama when Al Jazerrah television called to complain about the low ratings of his last terror tape and threaten to pre-empt him for a rerun of Bay- watch.

The request was made by Denny Wells, the district's director of .facilities, in response to recent announced plans for development of 3000 acres by several large- scale developers. A school's level of service is a declared capacity rating reflected in statistics contained in the Florida Inventory of School Houses Report (FISH.) The report bases those statistics on detailed studies. of schools in each of Florida's 67 districts and examines criteria like the number of instructional and non-instruc- tional spaces, permanent and portable spaces plus the condition of existing structures. According to Mr. Wells and Superintendent Paula Barton, Bak- er County schools are currently at about 85% of total capacity. It w ill Diner trashes Waffle House A white male suspect trashed the Macclenny Waffle'House be- fore'driving off in a gold-colored car the morning of May 13. Employee Glenda Gibson told police the customer tossed food, plates and utensils before running out of the restaurant about 3:45 am. He was reacting to her request that he quiet down and cease curs- ing. In another case of criminal mis- chief, police have a suspect in the vandalism to a 2003 Chevrolet pickup parked outside- Fraser Hos- pital the afternoon of May 8. The vehicle belongs to Marvin Barnes Jr. of Macclenny and the case was reported by Angela Nor- ton of Glen St. Mary, an acquain- tance who told police her ex-hus-. Sband is responsible. County to Dupont.. (From page one) so bad you're willing to build a 1.5 mile road, but you don't want to let Baker County take care of this little old subdivision." Mr. Fowler responded by call- ing Dupont's offer "reasonable." "We built Deerfield Estates Road. We have been a good neigh- bor," he told commissioners. "Peo- ple think Dupont is very, very wealthy, but we have to make money here as a unit." Mr. Robinson asked the board to allow him and Mr. Fletcher to continue negotiations with the company. "Other than that, I'm a 'no' vote," he said. The other commissioners, who had met individually with Dupont officials, voted unanimously in support of the chairman's propos- al. not be long, given current popula- tion increase predictions such as completion of the future Cedar Creek Residential Development, before the schools reach an esti- mated 124% capacity. Having an established level of service in place will assist in assur- ing that developers match and pro- vide a proportionate share of serv- ices for any. student population beyond 100% of existing capacity. "We can't stand by and wait un- til growth engulfs us and then' think about doing something," said board Chlairman Dean Griffis dur- ing a May 15 evening regular meeting in Margaretta. "That just won't work." According to, Superintendent Barton,-Baker County and the cities of Macclenny and Glen St. Mary are also currently in the process of adopting service levels. "For us, (the school district) this is about being prepared," said Ms. Barton. "It would be irresponsible on our part not. to take every step we can to insure that future stu- dents get to attend schools that can adequately accommodate them." In other developments this week, the board approved a s%\ itch from, Etna to AvMed as the dis- trict's health insurance pro\ ider.' An insurance committee met April and voted for the switch. Insurance under A\ Med v.ill be. effective for the year of October 26, 2006 -through September 30, 2007. ' The primary reason is AvMed's ease in allowing clients the option of accessing local physicians and others for health care instead of those designated by the insurance company. The board unanimously agreed that access to local health care should save employees a lot of ex- pense. Co-payment fees for doctor vis- its are also less, such as $15-$25 vs. $25-$35. The district had previously been able to negotiate a 26% increase in * its Etna coverage down to 20%. Subsequently, however, bids from other major carriers were e\ aluated and AvMed was found to be more economical while provid- ing an acceptable level of service. In other areas, after board approved purchase of new comput- er network switches, Director of Support Services Marcelje Richardson reported an agreement with Cisco Systems' to allow a trade-in of existing s\\ itches. A total of 57 switches from all schools in the district will be trad- ed in to Cisco against the final cost *of replacing them. Cisco agreed to give the school district a discount of 10% across the board in addition to the state bid education discount of 32c.` "Many of the switches can be rebuilt by Cisco," said Ms. Rich- ardson. "'The a\cragce life expec- tancv of a system switch is about five \ cars. Many in our system are about to exceed that and have to be replaced." ALt. FLORIDA CUSTOM AIR, INC.

Teen arrest for having steroid pills One of the occupants of a speeding pickup truck stopped in west Macclenny in the early morn- ing hours of May 11 was charged with possession of prescription medication, a third-degree felony. The suspect, a 16-year-old stu- dent at Baker County High School, was riding in the bed of the 2001 Ford when it was stopped just after 2:00 at the corner of Lowtder and Quail. Sgt. Adam Faircloth got behind the speeding pickup westbound on US 90 and followed it as it turned south on Lowder. He said the suspect, who pro- duced an unlabeled prescription container from a pants pocket, was one of two males in the rear of the truck. The driver was identified as Ash- ley Tracer, 19, of Macclenny. She got a warning ticket for speeding. Also in the vehicle were two males, ages 14 and 16, and Bar- bara Lara, 18, all from Macclenny. Sgt: Faircloth said the suspect smelled of alcohol but denied drinking, and initially said he found the pill bottle in the parking lot of Mac's Liquors in downtown NMacclenny. He later said the pills were "antibiotics for muscles" but the officer noted that personnel at Fraser Hospital could not identify the pills, but doubted they were antibiotics.

In other traffic-related arrests, a Glen St. Mary motorist told the same deputy sheriff he was speed- ing through town the evening of May 12 because he had received a call his dog was sick. Sgt. Crews said he clocked a 1996 Saturn heading west of Glen on US 90 at 83 mph in a 35 mph zone and gave chase.

The officer learned via a com- puter check Mr. Tisdale's license was not only expired, but had been suspended four times, once for failure to pay child support. He was stopped the afternoon of May 9 for speeding on King Drive in west Macclenny. Earlier that morning, John Grin- er, 46, of Macclenny was stopped for speeding through a school zone on 5th St. and Deputy Curtis Ruise learned his license was suspended multiple times.

Two suspects, one of them a 16- year-old male from Macclenny, were implicated in the theft of a purse, some cash and three gold rings from an elderly tenant at Northwood Apartments in the north city. The victim, 91-year-old Carrie Snelling, told Deputy Randy Davis she left her purse hanging on a walker in the living room of her apartment late the morning of May 11. She and a neighbor, Latisha Ackerman, were cleaning in an- other room. Based on a tip from another neighbor who saw two males in the area about that time, Ms. Ac- kerman identified them and De- puty Davis later stopped a grey Cadillac with both suspects on West Boulevard. One of them, 20-year-old Vin- cent Wilson of Jacksonville, con- fessed to the theft and led the offi- cer to a dumpster near the apart- ment complex where he had tossed the purse wrapped in a plastic bag. The teen denied involvement, Pushed pistol away to avoid robbery May 6 A Macclenny mansaid he slap- ped away a pistol held to his head in a Sanderson parking lot the evening of May 6 during an at- tempted armed robbery. James Pack, 42, said he stopped outside Cuz's One Stop about 11:30 to ask directions and was ac- costed by a black male who de- manded $200 at gunpoint.

The suspects took only $200 of the $3000 in cash that Ms. Snell- ing said was in 6ne bank envelope, and $53 from a second envelope. The rings in a coin purse were not recovered. Both suspects are charged with grand theft, a second degree fel- ony. The youth was released later that day to his mother. In another case of cash theft from a residence, Jerry Younker reported $350 taken from a jar in his bedroom on May 7. The victim was gone between 8:00 am-10:00 pm and there was no sign of forced entry. He named several suspects. V Authorities say the death of a 72-year-old north Macclenny man the afternoon of May 10 was likely due to a self-inflicted gunshot. The body of Robert E. Williams was first spotted by a neighbor off Steel Bridge Road about 5:00 pm. It was lying partially on a picnic table in the rear yard of his resi- dence. A .38 caliber pistol was found in his lap. Another neighbor told police she heard a gunshot between 1:30- 2:00 that afternoon but thought someone was shooting a snake. Mr. Williams' body was taken to the medical examiner's office,in Gainesville for an autopsy. He was a retired estimator for a Jacksonville electric company and had lived in the area 13 years.

ADVERTISING DEADLINE Monday @ 5:00 pm THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Grandson took, sold drugs A 17-year-old grandson is charg- ed with grand theft and exploiting the elderly for allegedly taking three bottles of prescription med- ication from his 80-year-old grand- mother on May 8. The victim told police the teen has a drug problem and he was later found at a residence off Reid Stafford Road with a 15-year-old female who had run away from home in Orange Park. The youth told Deputy John Hardin he sold the drugs on the street shortly after he took them from the grandmother's residence on north Lowder in Macclenny. She had called police earlier this month when the grandson, who has been living with her, became unruly and attacked her. He was released back to her cus-, tody the same day. The stolen medication included the sleep aid Ambien, hydroco- done and Xanax. In other residential thefts, a male who lives in the neighbor- hood may be responsible for. the theft of nearly $2000 in diamond and gold rings from the residence of Laurie Miller on Deerfield Circle. The victim told police she ini- tially noticed the jewelry missing back in March, but assumed she misplaced the envelope containing the rings. On May 8, an ex-girlfriend of the suspect told her he mentioned pawning some of the rings he had taken from Ms. Miller. She report- ed the theft the next day.

Commissioner Julie Combs said the price of gas has exceeded what Glen Council okays zoning variance for a "barn 'store BY MICHAEL RINKER S'* Press Staff Glen St. Mar\ officials Tuesday, night approved a zoning variance for ,a drite-through convenience store planned for dow ntoow n.. The variance allo's the store to ,be built closer to US 90 40 feet instead of 50 and closer to the k est side of the property ten feet instead of 2"5. One reason for the \ariance is that under current setbacks the store would have been built amid recover\ wells there because of ground contamination. Another reason is that the dri\ e- '. \\a through the store %would have had too tight of a turning radius for some vehicles. The st'rc, a metal structure shaped like a barn, will be located at the corner of Jefferson Street on ihe the south side of US 90. The property is currently an empty lot sitting between a used car dealer- ship and a automotive repair shop. Tentatively called the "Tea Barn," it would sell typical con- venience store fare, including beer. Tow% n officials gave preliminary approval to the project at their March meeting.' Plans call for a 45-foot by 75- foot building; the parking area Would'be no more than 4.00.0 square feet. Cars would enter the store via a one-way driveway off Jefferson then exit onto US 90. The store likely will be open from 6:30 am-6:30 pm,.although in the summer it may stay open until around 8:00 pm. When it's closed, both the entry and exit will be covered by a large garage-style door. In other action at Tuesday's meeting, the town.council: HfI&R TRANSMISSION & ENGINE FREE TOWING FREE INSPECTION IN BUSINESS FOR 10 YEARS 904-382-7o86 will register on the pump, and the department won't let them sell gas. Prior to the latest round of price increases, state officials allowed stations to register half the price on the pump and inform customers that the posted amount needed to be, doubled. Apparently, one customer was flummoxed by.the concept at. Alt- man's store and filed a complaint alleging price gouging, Ms. Combs said. She noted that residents -"out in the country" rely on the local stores to get gas for their tractors, mowers and four-wheelers. Commission Chairman Alex Rob- inson said, "It upsets me that some- thing hasn't been done alreadN." The. board voted to have him %. rite a letter to the department. .In other action at .the Ma\ 15 meeting, the commissioners: Appr6\ ed a resolution clearing, the way for the county to be reim- bursed S193.715 when it widens and resurfaces CR 23B from SR 121 to CR 23A.

'Ih .'/ i ise Bonnie Pla~nts Third Grader's Cabb'agePiti Photo by Kelley Lann'igan Cabbage p Westside E BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Siaff Bonnie Plants, whose headquar- ters is in Union Springs. Alabama, is a distributor of plants throughout the United States. Each year, Bonnie Plants sales representatives deliver thousands of cabbage seedlings to third graders -in elementary schools across the country as part of its Third Grade Cabbage Program Schools are not required to pair- ticipate and the company simple makes the plants available at no charge if there is interest. The seedling gi'eak\a\ is the brainchild of Dennis Thomas, the company's general manager. In 2001, he came up \% ith the idea of, giving school children the seed-,' lings of the h) brid OS ko\ er-,ized) cabbage bred to, grow to tremen- dous sizes, some as large as fifty pounds. Mr. Thomas- thought growing the giant vegetables would be fun for the kids, and he was correct. The program has become very popular. Participating schools document the largest cabbages grown by the students and send that information along with a photo to Bonnie Plants. The entries are then separat- ed by state. A random drawing atch at elementary from each state's cntr.es deter- mines the recipient of a $1.100 scholarship. Keith Pugh, the company's cus- tomer relations director, heads up the third grade cabbage project. The seedlings are currently avail- able only in the 48 contiguous states. Pugh hopes to,get seedlings to schools in Hawaii and Alaska in the near future. "Last year, a child from \\ is- consin- grew a .cabbage that weighed 41 pounds," said Pugh. "That was one big cabbage. Think of how much cole slaw that made!" Westside .Elementary Sdhool was very supportive of the project, to the point of di',plaj ing thc.huge vegetables on the Iobb\ desk in the office for all \ Mitor to see. The largest c'.hbbLgaes grown this year by Westside Elementury third graders were: 40 lbs. by Delaney Brinson; 24 lbs. by Mitchell Hart- ley; 14 lbs. by Brendan Gibson. A few cabbage facts.: V Cabbage is a member of the "cole" family, which also includes broccoli and cauliflower. Cole is the German word for cabbage and is where coleslaw gets its name. VA cabbage is 90% water. V/Ancient Chinese believed that eating cabbage cured baldness. (Souirce: Bonnie Plants, Inc.)

Its two-phase residential devel- ;opment--Cypress Pointe--with :homes built using concrete block ,construction, is luring homebuyers ,from Jacksonville as, well as turn- ling renters into homeowners. | Cypress Pointe in northeast Macclenny is one of developments in the seven-county Jacksonville footprint where homes continue to ,sell faster year-over-year, according to the Northeast Florida Multiple Listing service. Maronda Homes is helping that effort with its afford- able new homes that start from the $180's. The family-friendly area of Mac- clenny offers a, small town atmos- phere with modern perks. The beaches and the state of Georgia are just a short drive away. And its prime location off In- terstate 10 provides east-west ac- cess along with five interchanges from the highway. Lake City, Glen St. Mary and Sanderson are, near- by which gives families a variety of recreational activities to choose from. Maronda's Cypress Pointe al- ready has over half of its homes in phase one sold. The 2,008 square foot Covington model and sales center is drawing a lot of attention. The four bedroom, two bath home features an open floor plan with the kitchen and breakfast nook conveniently overlooking the fami- ly, living and dining rooms. The lux- urious master suite has a walk-in closet and a garden tub. For homebuyers looking for a larg- er floor plan, the Cumberland mod- Iel is a popular ,choice and a great value. Boasting 3,897 square- feet, a grand two- .story foyer wel- comes guests into a combination for- mal living/dining room with plenty of room for enter- taining. The first floor den has a bathroom and walk-in closet, which can double as a guestroom. . .- -.. -.. .: -.. -:. -. The 2,008 square foot Covington model has four bedrooms, t\o baths and an open floor plan with the kitchen and breakfast nook con - \ieniently overlooking the family, living and dining rooms. The large kitchen contains a cen- ter island with a convenient sec- ond sink. A growing family or out-of-town guests will enjoy the five bed- rooms, three full baths, and an open loft on the home's second level. The loft area provides ample space for a child's play area or ex- tra living space. The large master suite features his and her walk-in closets, a double vanity, garden tub and separate'shower. Two of Maronda's home plans that are especially unique are the Baywood and the Monter- rey which come standard with two refrigerators, two . wall ovens, a five-burner range with a large over- the-cooktop. These are the only homes that have a first floor room that can serve as a bedroom. Most of Maronda Homes' floor plans come standard with architec- ss PC tural details sucl ways, plant led tured marbled v toilets, and oak out drawers that look without up| homes' exterior roof shingles, lights, landscape tam grass and s, Martie Gilbert agent, says tha very happy with 1 area.
