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. Bake
The county then asked for $200,- addit
000 and 20 acres of land. 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." "Ii
"I want Deerfield paved. If tax b
Dupont can't, then Dupont can't," pay

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.

of small and mid-sized subdivisions in
er County would be assessed charges in

acknowledging the current fees are not
gh to pay for growth in the county, task
members have been looking for ways
.nd the additional roads, schools, fire
police protection needed to ac-
modate the influx of new residents.
t's not fair for us to raise taxes on the
base that's here; the developers must

Macclenny Commissioner Phil Rhod-
who formed, the task force of city, coun-

tives.
he group wants to take the same rigor-
standards that the large, developments

to smaller ones.
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.

Superintendent Barton indicated the school
district favors the idea. He also said he
thinks county commission Chairman Alex
Robinson would approve it as well.
Coincidentally, atMonday's commission
meeting, county attorney Terry Brown intro-
duced to the board a new
member of his firm in
for US Starke whose expertise is
'es on land use and planning.
The school board has

hil Rhoden predicted.

particular is in need of


relief. 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

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. They had

wanted to pause new development
until they come up with a formula
for charging additional fees.
For now, however, the new plan
will act as a "soft" moratorium be-
cause some developers may hold
off on a project until a formula is
set.
"There (has to be common lan-
guage in the interlocal agreement
that you [the developer] are going
to agree that as soon as we deter-
mine how much cost for schools,

be assessed. You can proceed or

Ms. Barton added, "We need to

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!

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.
Other encouraging developments this
the county's attorney announced he has
on an associate purported to be familiar
growth-related matters. Excellent.
The school district says it is close to h
growth consultant to guide it through th
plexing maze of statutes and rules bunr
public education in a growth environment
At least one of the finalists for count)
ager appears schooled in growth matt
director of special projects for the No
Florida Regional Planning Council, a
governmental board that encompasses
County.
Unless he has the personality of a
snake, or hangs around strip joints in his
time, that candidate certainly merits s
consideration by the county commission.
Members of the board should be enco
to hang in there and move on through
new ground.
And Macclenny Commissioner Phil R
merits a great deal of praise for coming u
the idea and initiating the meetings. Like
of the youngest members of the coalition
looking way ahead, and the public sho

MY SIDE OF
S A ER


seriouss Think of this column like spring
cleaning. 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.
There you have it.

School board votes to establish a

'service level growth benchmark


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
The Baker County School Board
has approved a request that the
school district adopt a "Level of
Service" as a yardstick to measure
how added residential growth
translates into new facilities and
infrastructure.
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."

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.


The youth later said they were
steroids and that resulted in a sec-

Steve Holman, district supervisor for the Florida Division of Forestry, .was. the main speak-
.er May.4 at an upe'n house and dedication of the new John Bethea State Forest headquar-
ters in Baxter on Highway 2. State and federal forest agencies were in, it i, i., the afternoon
event/,including a tour of the $650,000 facility including equipment lots that lies just east
, of a new, $300,000 work center for the US Forest Service. The DOF station will eventually

7-year-old charged

with injury DUI count


A teenager. involved in an in-
jury accident'the evening of May
'13 in northwest Macclenny had a
blood alcohol level twice that con-
sidered intoxicated in Florida.
The youth, who Sgt. Michael
Crews said was crying and shak-
ing uncontrollably at the scene,
said he had several 32-ounce mix-
ed drinks before his 1992 Ford
Ranger was involved in an acci-
dent at Lowder and Short Putt Dr.
about 9:00.

several field sobriety tests and was
taken to jail. Following a breatha-
lyzer test, he was charged with
DUI involving a personal injury
accident.
Several still-cold beer bottles
and a partial 'bottle of rum were
found at the scene.
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.
He pulled the vehicle over after
it sped north on CR 125, then west
to Aunt Mary Harvey Road. Driv-
er Michael Larue, 22, swerved in
traffic passing another vehicle and
executed turns at a high rate of
speed before stopping.
He was charged with reckless
driving,
Several other local drivers were
arrested recently for driving on
licenses that had been suspended
multiple times.
Ricky Tisdale, 24, of Macclen-
ny initially told Deputy John Har-
din a physician took his license
because "he has seizures."
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.


DeputyTony Norman stopped
Michael Harris, 29, of Sanderson
the evening of May 8 on CR 229
because of a faulty headlight and
arrested him for driving with-.a
license suspended four times.


Another

version of

'self-serve'
A Macclenny woman who took
the concept of self-service grocery
check-out one step tdo far was ar-
rested the evening of May 14 for
stealing over $300 in food and oth-
er items from the Food Lion on
South 6th.
A video surveillance camera
allegedly shows Virginia Ortagus,
58, bagging her own .groceries
before pushing a cart.past the
checkout lanes and into the park-
ing lot, where she was confronted
by store, employees.
When Deputy Jeff Dawson ar-
rived shortly after 7:00, the sus-
pect was walking east in the park-
ing lot and said she wanted to use
the rest room at a nearby conve-
nience store.
She was arrested for petty theft
and shoplifting.
The store ran a receipt tape of
the merchandise in her cart and it
came to $295 plus, five. 12 packs
of beer. :
In another shoplifting case, a
white male was caught on camera
entering the S&S convenience
store on South 6th and running out
with a 12-pack of beer early on
May'14.
Assistant'manager William
Dillard was in the store just before
5:00 when the suspect entered and
took off with the beer from a floor
display.
He, was driving a -white Chev-

2 charged in purse theft Shooting

from 91-year-old woman death likely


but allegedly took money from tihe V t.


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.
He described the assailant as
5'8" with a slender build and dread-
locks, wearing a red ball cap.
Mr. Pack said he sped off west-
bound on US 90 after pushing the
pistol away. Police were unable to
find any witnesses or suspects.

purse after Mr. Wilson brought it
out of the apartment's open front
door. He also advised the older
suspect on disposing of it.
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.

The chatter on police

past two weeks in the fleet

The estimated hundreds
of citizens who routinely
monitor scanner transmis-
sions can still hear emer-

tw\een deputies are now en-
crypted and undetectable

Scott McGuire, the in-

"The way this is de-

in both patrol cars and on
the portable, hand-held
units officers use while
outside their vehicles.
Bill Rockefeller said on
Monday he's received a

-few inquiries at his Macclc nny.
Radio S.hack seeking modified

S, et.' s._id Mr. Rocketdlier it-, ?
Scanner addicts frustrated over
the new system should blame 9-11
for the s%% itch. SLERS (State Law
Enforcement Radio System) arose
out of the confusion created that
day when emerLencv channels
were unable to communicate with
each other.
That's what it took for'the gov-
ernment and a newly formed De-
partment of Homeland Security to
push for an inter-connected web of
closed radio signals tor federal,
state and local agencies
Baker Count\ is among a hand-
ful of Florida counties signing
onto SLERS and more are expect-
ed as time passes. -
The local system is funded in
roughly equal portions by a grant,
a loan and money raised via a
$12.50 surcharge to traffic and
other tickets issued by BCSO.
The radios operating on 800
megahertz (thus the name "800 sys-
tem") were first introduced by the
military branches and now include
emergency and law enforcement
agencies all over Florida.


For instance, local deputies can
Sjsily key in on '.oice traffic from
Fli idJ Department of La'w En,-
forcement, Florida Highlva, Pa-
trol, the L'ame officers and others.
Should deputies be sent on
--"nutual aid'" duty in the w ake ofea a
h'iUrricarie, ihe\ 'A ill be able to
i cnimmunicate ith other depart- *
ments rather than ride with offi-
cers of a far-flung city or county
for the sole purpose of staying in
touch.
Baker County fire and rescue
departnmnts can also tie'in later
when funds are available, as will'
the City of Macclenny fire.
Since the .si'SlU stem will be
routed through a north county
communication lower, the chronic
poor transmission between depu-
ties and dispatchers from areas
like High" a) 2, the Eddy Grade
and Baxter will go away.
The Ilarge number of "scanner
freaks", may well goad manufac-
turers to come up with marketable
units that can break the encryption .
(so far the only ones that can are
priced upwards to $2000 and are
not supposed to be available to the
public).
Until that happens, they'll have
to be content with listening to fire
and rescue pages and communica-
tion, and get used to a quieter ver-
sion of "what's going on."


County deputies made a num-
ber of recent arrests in cases of
battery and domestic violence
involving live-in couples.
Ernest Smith, 21, and Yasmeen

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.

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:

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. The money will
come from the Florida Department.
of Transportation through the
Small Counit Outreach Program.


Approved transmittal to the
Department of Community Affairs
three land-use amendments and
rezoning requests.
They are Long Branch Farms, a
proposed residential 'development
.with 230 large-lot horses located
on the east side of CR 127 just
south of the intersection with CR
125; The Lakes at Woodlat n, a
134-lot single-family subdivision
on nearly 54 acres on the north side
of Woodlawn Road east of Dupree
Road; and St. Mar.. Shoals Park,
the county's .1600-acre recreation
and conser ation area north of pde
Yarborough Road between CR
23C and CR 125.
Transmittal to the DCA for its
approval doesn't mean the county
has given its final OK.
Appro0 ed rezoning a half-acre
parcel in Sanderson at the corner of
CR 229 and Martin Luther King Jr.
Drive.
The applicant, James Williams,
has plans for a restaurant to be
called "Daisy's BBQ."
Talked briefly about commis-,.
sioner Combs' proposal to hire a
full-time professional planner for
the county.

Bonnie Pla~nts Third Grader's Cabb'agePiti Photo by Kelley Lann'igan

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.

Get more home for less money in Cypre


By Carolyn Klucha
Maronda Representative
Maronda Homes, a leading Flori-
da builder of single-family homes,
is taking part in the residential and
!commercial expansion happening
4in Baker County.
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.

plans come standard with architec-

Fair Housing... It's the Law!

Were you asked to pay a higher security deposit simply because you have kids?

Did you request a wheelchair ramp and were denied even
though you offered to pay for it?

Were you sexually harassed by your landlord?

Were you denied housing because of your race or color?

These are examples of Fair Housing discrimination.

You cannot be discriminated against because of your race, color, national origin,
handicap, religion, sex or familial status.

If you believe that you are a victim of housing discrimination,
please contact your local Fair Housing Center.
