PRESS YONGE LIBRARY FLA. HISTORY PO BOX 117007 UNIV. FLA. GAINESVILLE, FL 32611 Aranmuts arTe- stolen from BCHS's ag department Some rabbits died while some chickens remain missing after somebody entered the Baker Coun- ty High School agricultural depart- ment building on graduation night, May 12, and snatched the animals. The person (or persons) then broke into several school buildings and released the livestock into the hallways. The thefts were reported to the sheriff's department May 18. The report did not specify how many animals died. Meanwhile, some person (or persons) broke into the BCHS foot- ball shed and stole a number of items, including two blocking dum- mies, 20 football beanies and 100 cones. Head coach Bobby Johns told police that David Register and David Corona saw the items in the back of a silver Dodge pickup parked at Wal-Mart. They took-as much otf he stolen property as they could and returned it to Coach Johns.

PHOTO B' GOP says it was in the dark over use of board chamb BY JIM McGAULEY Press Publisher When the Baker County Republican Party realized recent- ly its brethern Democrats were meeting in the county, com- mission room of the courthouse annex, they cried foul to no one in particular. Last November, both political parties were informed by then-county manager Jason Griffis the board chambers, with its arched dais and ample audience space, was off-limits to political parties of any persuasion. The Republicans, polite citizens that they are, decided to lease commercial space on College St. in Macclenny for' their headquarters at a $500 monthly price tag. So GOP stalwarts were a bit miffed when the Democrats announced the first of their meetings in 2006 at the com-, mission room. Another is scheduled this Thursday evening at 7:00 featuring Bob Harms, a District 4 congressional can- didate. Shortly after the departure of Mr. Griffis as county man- ager, Andy Bailes, chairman of the Democrats, once again asked if party meetings could be held at the annex. Fine, responded commission Chairman Alex Robinson. The facility is open to any recognized political party or quasi-government group. "I simply asked again." said Chairman Bailes. "I reasoned it's a county facility paid for by taxpayers and they should make it available for any legitimate use. They agreed." Trouble is, no one ever told the Republicans and they never asked if they could use it. . There could still be a conflict of sorts, since Mr. Griffis cited county attorney Terry Brown as the auth ban. "After discussing the issue with our county has given us (a) legal recommendation to no I political meetings to be held in our chamber county manager's letter of November 18, ab( before he was fired.

He turned a lost job into a life-changing BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff When Bill Beckum made the decision to .f enroll in the machinist program at Calhoun S, Community Jr. College in Decatur, Alabama, he never dreamed that one day he would be 'rubbing elbows with astronauts from all over the world. The Jacksonville native, who now lives in K: ,Macclenny, resided in Alabama for years and was a long-time employee of the Dunlop Tire Company. In 1990, Goodyear bought the Dunlop loca- tion in Alabama and closed the plant. Mr. Beckum was 47 years old and suddenly found | himself without a job. At the time, according to Mr. Beckum, when a plant closed, the federal government had pro- Sgrams in place that allowed employees to enroll in college level courses to earn Bill Beckum, wearing his Boeing work team t-shir4 holds a degrees that qualified them to schematic for the International Space Station docking rings he work in other areas. He chose helped to construct Behind him is a signed print of the 1971 the machine shop program at illustration of the Lunar Roving Vehicle which accompanied. Calhoun. Apollo XV to the moon. The print was presented by artist Calhoun. Thomas Sperman. PHOO BY KiEEY LANNIAN "I figured I'd get out, get a Career regular job punching a clock somewhere work- ing nine to five building whatever and then going home like other guys," he recalls of those days. But fate had different plans for the enterpris- ing Floridian. While Mr. Beckum was complet- ing his courses, recruiters from Boeing Aerospace visited the school looking for future team members to work on the space station simulation project at the Marshall Space Flight Center in nearby Hunstville, Alabama. He was hired right out of school and imme- diately joined the Boeing team. The small scale model of the future International Space Station the engineers and machinists eventually built is now on perma- nent display in a lobby of the U.S. Senate in Washington. The first full scale component of the space station that Mr. Beckum was assigned to work on was the waste disposal system. He worked with a father and daughter team of engineers from the Netherlands, who formulated the pro- totype design. His team would take these plans into their shop and start constructing. The prototypes were installed in the regular employee bathrooms on the site. "You have to test what you build to know if it works and to identify problems with the design and the components." explained Mr. Beckum. "There's no better way than the real deal." When someone visiting the site asked for a drink of water, the standard answer was always, "Just don't get it from Bill." "Actually, the water from the filtration units on the waste disposal system was more pure than the water from your kitchen faucet," he says. Bill Beckum is proud of the fact that today's contemporary technology for kidney dialysis systems has been adopted from the waste dis- posal and filtration system he helped build for the space station. He points out that many such developments related to space research go on to have wider applications in the public sector. He also helped on the air support system, building a large stainless steel sphere with numerous connecting lines attached to a main computer. A computer-dictated simulation of the sphere's inner climatic environment. If, for example, four astronauts were present, the com- puter calculated the proper mix of oxygen and nitrogen fed through the lines to sustain that number of people and measured the removal of carbon dioxide. While Bill Beckum was being challenged daily in his job as a machinist with Boeing and loving every moment of it, another unexpected challenge arose. A memo circulated stating that NASA was looking for recruits to work as training techni- cians in the simulation tank with the astronauts: Candidates would become NASA-certified (Page two please) 6 III IIIiIll I81 6 98907648819 8 - -j4 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, May 25, 2006 Page Two *AU IEfS8WI~~ fk* I%k1I *Ak S *" "_ - 4O e e a -. -opyr. h4 m- i a ,,Co Cm~m _pyrighteciOMaterial lkb Af ON ~ 41. 41M -w _ * C -yi]uidLUU UIILIIL3 Available from Commercial News Provide w ql mm 1 1 I * Ce * 0. 0*. 0. * e-Q *0 oe 000. 0* * . 4 o~ ON. 4 00 . 3F! 4D 0.3 400. m * tlopo C Q - *- C C -4w . om rs" rs" 0 l * ~ * ~ * Q 6 CoUNTRY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION 602S.

Mr. Beckum felt he had to try. He also knew he would have to get in shape to pass the Navy fit- ness exam required to even apple) for the position. He quit smoking and started running. . The Marshall Center's huge tank originally built during WWII for torpedo testing now is used to train astronauts from all over the world. Submergence in water is as close to zero gravity conditions in space as can be simulated on earth. Bill Beckum waited and then. the good news came he had been chosen. He would be the only one from the original Boeing team to complete the NASA scuba certifi- cation and go on to train astro- nauts. It took four months of training to earn the certification. Mr. Beck- um was able to successfully com- plete the task while still working his regular job. Then he entered a whole new world. When astronauts suited up in full space flight gear, attached themselves to a mechanical arm and entered the tanks, Bill Beck- um, in radio transmitting scuba gear, was there beside them in the water. The training was intense and :.-clto:se'ly- monitored. Astronauts s must have an intimate'knowledge of the space station and know how the entire structure functions. "In zero gravity, the mechanical laws that we understand on earth are completely different," says Mr. Beckum. "Water simulates what it's like to move in outer space. Physical objects in space behave much dif- ferently and the astronauts have to learn how to anticipate and com- pensate. They also have to be tech- nicians. They must know how every part of the space station works and how to repair it." Even in the midst of such intense work, there were funny _occurrences, many of them the result of cultural differences. He recalls the first time a team of Italian astronauts was brought in to become familiar with the tank. They spent an afternoon freely swimming and getting acquainted with the tank's features such as the location of the decom- pression chamber. One member of the team was a woman. When the swim was over they all climbed up on deck and immediately stripped off all their clothes and started drying off. An American astronaut fluent in many languages hurried over and quick- ly explained to the team that in the United States, men and women LOGS AND PULPWOOD 1 ACRE OR LARGER DIAMOND I INC.

Mr. Beckum's work with the project was finished. With the different components built and tested, the designs were then put into produc- tion at three facilities across the United States. Six years later, in 1998, the first two modules of the space. station were launched on the space shuttle and .the assembly of the station began. The first crew arrived in 2000. "It was the experience of a life- time, says Mr. Beckum. "Who gets to be in contact with so many astronauts from around the world on a daily basis? Hardly anyone. I was lucky." There was only one regretful.1 thing about his experience. The project's chief engineer, George Wishart, with whom he worked closely and came to admire, died before seeing the completion of the space station., "My only regret is that George didn't see the station go into space," he says. "Otherwise, I have this to say about my job at Marshall Space Flight Center. It's the only job IL ever had that I would have done for free."

Chairman Robinson said this week he was unaware Mr. Brown advised the ex-county manager' thusly, but he sees no harm in using a public building for a legiti- mate political purpose. "I remember before .I was in politics, the Democrats used to meet in the commission room of the old courthouse, and even in the second-floor courtroomm" noted Mr, Robinson. He believes use should be limit- ed to "certain things government related stuff." "I sure don't want to make any of my Republican friends mad. I've got friends in both parties and I don't need, to alienate anybody over something like this," added the board chairman. Don Marshall of Macclenny, chairman of the local GOP, said there was considerable grumbling in the ranks over having to lease the College Ave. headquarters, but now that it's done the point is a bit moot. "We were looking for a decent place so we wouldn't have to keep meeting in people's homes, and we have a place now, so I don't want to raise a stink.

A computer check on Ainsley Peckoo, 44, the morning of May 22 revealed his license had been suspended 26 times for offenses ranging from failure to pay child support to failure to enroll in a dri- ver safety course. Deputy James Parham III clocked Mr. Peckoo's eastbound BMW sedan at 90 mph near the Interstate 10 intersection with CR 125 about 1:30 am on May 22. He stopped the vehicle' near Macclenny and Mr. Peckoo admit- ted his license had been suspended "a couple of times." Another interstate speeder was stopped in the same area about 1:00 the previous morning, and was driving on a license suspend- ed three times in Florida and six times in Georgia. Mareya Bryan, 28, of Smyrna, Ga. was at the wheel of an east- bound 2006 GMC van clocked at 85 mph.by Deputy Ben Anderson. Lt. Glen Gnann arrested Forest Klate Jesseman, 20, of Macclenny the evening of May 20 after stop- ping his swerving 2001 Cadillac on Steel Bridge Road. The driver's license had been suspended for a DUI offense, and Mr. Jesseman was also ticketed for failure to maintain a single lane. * Slag Fill Dirt Sand Milling Clay * Fish Ponds, Land Clearing, Culverts & Roads Built 4MMEW I %Nommmw- elk ff 'OA on owu 0% 40 OW& 0%: w9h 40 OW& w9h 40 THE BAKER COUNTY PRES JAMES C.

"These students are just amaz- ing" he told me. "And so is the school. I think you would find it an enriching experience." I wouldcbe one of five people judging a group of the school's highest academic male achievers who qualified to compete for the; opportunity to represent the school as Mr. Andrew Jackson for the year 2006-07. After I agreed to participate as a judge, I had second thoughts. Was I the right person for the task? Never a fan of pageants in the past, was I the right person to be putting in my two cents worth in the final deci- sion making process? After some consideration, I decided to go with an open mind and set aside any pre-conceived biases. Besides, I was dying of cur- iosity to see the guys strut their stuff. And strut they did. I'd have to say this group of young men blew me away. I was a very shy, self-conscious teenager. What would it have been like, I wondered, to have been em- powered back then with even a tenth of the self-confidence these young men possessed? It would have been, as the kids say nowa- days totally awesome. Mr. Ferreira coached the judges earlier in the evening on the scor- ing process. As it turned out, we used the same point system devel- oped by the judges of the Miss America and Miss USA pageants. The guys had a private prelimi- nary interview with the judges, which gave them an opportunity to talk about themselves, their beliefs and the goals they hoped to accom- plish. Sitting in a small room in front of a group of people dressed in business attire and answering rapid. fire questions is an intimidating and formidable experience even for seasoned professionals-- let alone:a - 17-year-old boy. I'm just' glad':it:, wasn't me. They all did fine, though, every one. , The rest of the evening, the guys gave it all they had through the rounds of public speaking, model- ing casual and formal attire, answering more unrehearsed ques- tions and following choreographed stage entrances and exits. A lot to keep straight, even when you aren't nervous. It was the talent segment of the pageant that knocked us back in our seats, however. One' by one, the young men, sang, danced, performed original dramatic monologues and stand up comedy. The judging was difficult. Each of the contestants could easily have been awarded the title and been completely deserving of it. But, it was a competition and there could only be one Mr. Andrew Jackson. I wouldn't trade anything for the experience of witnessing the reac- tion of the young man who won the title. Surprise, shock, realization and excitement played across his face in a kaleidoscope of emotions. Then he started shaking, partly in disbelief and partly in sheer, utter delight. The audience was roaring with support, as it had throughout the entire evening and oh, my goodness, was his daddy and fami- ly proud. For this young man and for the others, I feel certain it's just the start of a life of many more proud moments. According to the Florida Depart- ment of Education website, Andrew Jackson High School is one of the state's success stories. About five years ago the school received an "F" for its over-all grade. A group of dedicated admin- istration, faculty and staff rallied together with the goal of changing the future course of the inner city magnet school. In the brief time since, they have accomplished a complete overhaul of the school's media center, initiat- ed an aggressive reading program and implemented a successful Ren- aissance Reward academic pro- gram to motivate and inspire stu- dents to achieve. The school and the students are blossoming as a result. Mr. Ferreira is proud to be a part of that ongoing process. You can hear the passion in his voice t\ hen he talks about the school and its students.:He is as proud of their achievements as he is of those of his own children. It's not unusual'fdt a successful man or woman, reminiscing about their high school experience to credit a dedicated, passionate teacher with inspiring them to go out into life and achieve to the best of their ability. In the Baker County High School Class of '06 supplement to the May 11 issue of our newspaper, valedic- torian Lauren Higginbotham, and co-salutatorians Matthew Wright and Jason Cantrell all paid high accolades to teachers in their part- ing senior essays. Teaching can be a tough job and sometimes a seemingly thankless one. Teachers are a lot like soldiers going out into the trenches every single day and doing their best to get their team through the combat zone intact. With all the negative challenges facing today's youth the perva- siveness of drugs and alcohol, lack of discipline and role models in the home, pressure to join gangs land the general degeneration of morals and standards the influence of a dedicated, caring teacher can often be the singular critical factor that helps a teenager choose a positive path and empowers him or her to pursue a goal and achieve it. Teachers are the "unsung heroes of our society and that's never been more true than it is today.

Conduct of some parents shameful Dear Editor: God blessed us with a beautiful graduation night on May 12. It was perfect weather and the graduating class at Baker County High School was so well behaved. Class members were probably ashamed of the behavior of some of the parents who attended. It's a shame when the valedicto- rian of the senior class, the pride of Baker County, stands to give a speech to fellow classmates who absolutely deserve the speech, and parents in the audience so jealous of her success yell at her to hurry up and get off the stage. I've lived and worked in Baker County for some time. My daugh- 'ter went to Baker High and my son was in this year's graduating.class. I am very proud of him and so is Woman alleges grandson was mistreated bydeputy Dear Editor: I am writing this letter about an incident between a mother and daughter at the Northwood Apartments on May 20. Police were called to the scene and they came to the wrong apart- ment. They assumed my grandson Curtis Givens Jr. had a part in the disturbance. He was an innocent bystander and had been walking to- ward the location of the disturbance. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Curtis was the victim of misconduct on the part of the deputy who responded. He asked Curtis a question, and when he didn't respond the way the deputy wanted, Curtis was grabbed by the shirt and around the neck. I am upset at this treatment of my grandson; The deputies should have investigated the situation more thoroughly, along with the people involved in the disturbance, before assuming my grandson had any- thing to do with it. This misconduct is unnecessary. Sheriff Joey Dobson should look further into this incident where an innocent bystander could have been hurt on the basis of assumptions. LETTIE RUISE Macclenny his family. Why can't we, "step up" in com- ing years and have better provi- sions for our' graduating seniors? Maybe we need better planning. There was a lot of honor on that stage, honor that came from Baker County. v/ Why was only one side able to see the festivities? V Why were the bathrooms on the visitor side locked? My .mother has a condition requiring her to be close to a bathroom. V Why is there more focusing on the football games (control and organization) than on graduation night? Maybe we could rent a place like other schools do. I bet parents would help, just knowing they have something better to look for- ward to. The class of 2006 was beautiful. They probably didn't notice, but I guarantee we can do better if we really want to. GAYLE BOWMAN Macclenny Your opinion counts... Send us a letter -and sign it DIGITAL RECEPTION SERVICES, INC.

Get EVERYBODY'S attention for only $4.50 PRESS CLASSIFIED Suspect tries to run away I .l: ? * A passenger in a southbound pickup truck stopped on CR 229 the evening of MaN 19 was arrest- ed after he attempted to run from a sheriff's deputy. Lt. Glen Gnann said Reginald, Nelson, 27, of Raiford ran and flailed his arms to get away during questioning about 9:00 that eve- ning. The suspect moments earlier' produced a plastic cigar container from a pants pocket during a :search, and Deputy Ben Anderson shot at and missed the fleeing sus- pect with a Taser gun. He thenicol-. lared Mr.-Nelson after chasing him on foot into a nearby wooded area. The cigar container, often used to store drugs, was never found. The driver of the vehicle, a 16- year-old male from Raiford, was charged with underage possession of alcohol. A breath test at.county jail later determined a blood alco- hol level above the'minimum for drunk driving. Another juvenile age male in the truck was released to family and not charged. About the same time that eve- ning, Danny Carver, 38, was ar- rested on a charge of disorderly in- toxication after a county deputy found him llaggering' on Canal Road south ofMacclenny.

The victims said a disturbance began shortly after. Mr. Harvey arrived with the couple's son. The daughter said she swung a hammer at the accused when he threatened her, and the mother came to her defense.

Mr. Harvey also ransacked a living room and tossed a wall phone into a rear yard. When the teen attempted to use a cell phone to call the sheriff's department, he allegedly threw it into a fish tank. The victims told police Mr. Harvey earlier threatened to kill them.

A, cruise-in is an informal gath- ering of car enthusiasts \\ho put- their vehicles on display and often give rides to interested spectators. It's a good way to see \ vintage cars and trucks w which often are on dis- play only in classic car museums. Art Pritchard, maintenance dir- ector at Nlacclenny Nursing and Rehab, has always loved cars. As a young guy with limited funds. Pritchard couldn't afford anything brand new off the lot, so he went for used cars and taught himself how to repair and renovate them. t "I learned a lot. that w\al and developed a real appreciation for automobiles," he said. He started attending cruise-ins with another local car enthusiast, B. J. Cannon, who had a particular interest in early models. The two men eventually. came up with the idea of holding a cruise-in as part of the week-long observation of. National Nursing Home Week. Macclenny Nursing. and Rehab residents and members of the community get an opportu- nity to see the vintage automobiles and interact with the proud, own- .ers. : ' "The residents love it and it makes me happy to see them en- joying themselves," Mr. Pritchard said. "And you won't believe the folks just driving by who stop and want to know about the cars." A cook-out and music are also part of the cruise-in festivities and Mr. Pritchard brings items to deco- rate the lot such -as a real gas pump, traffic light and black and white racing flags. Three couples from Macclenny were present to tell what makes their autos so special. Pat and George Collier brought out their black and yellow authen- tic 1931 Model A Roadster for dis- play. "This is a great hobby," said Ms. Collier. "It keeps my husband out of trouble. I never worry about what he's doing and I always know where he is in the garage," she joked. Dave and Ann Kurtz were on hand to talk about their 1951 gray Chevy Delux Sedan which Dave bought and restored. The car is just like the first one they had when they married many years ago. When they bought the sedan which had been in storage for 37 years, much of the original uphol- stery was still in good shape. Mr. Kurtz was delighted to find a com- pany that sold reproduction fabric for what needed to be replaced. "This car brings back so many wonderful memories of our early married life when I was in the mil- itary and we were stationed down in Pensacola. The 1950's was a great time for us," he said. Without a doubt, the most eye- catching vehicle on the lot that afternoon belonged to Cheryl and PeeWee Jordan. Their 1940 Chevy truck with bright paint the color of Florida Orange Juice attracted a lot of attention, especially from the youngsters. , 'Mr. Jordan's wife watched as her husband loaded two enthusias- tic voung boys into the cab and' took off down SR 228 on a ride, around the cit\. 'He just loves his trucks. she said. "He s restored four of them.' This is \what he lo\ es to do." Men aren't the onlh car enthusi- asts, as it turns out. Be' erl\ Mlic- Daniel of Baldt in brought her prized 1983 cand\ apple, red . A\anti to the cruise-in. "Studebaker started making the Avanti in the earl\ 1960s," said; Ms. McDaniel. "'A\anti is an lIali- an word that means future or for- ward.' It \as supposed to ret ital- ize sales for the company . Ms. McDaniel's car is special to. her because 19,S3 was the last , year the original Avanti body style . was produced. The first time she saw the car she iasse'dift'bn the road going inij the opposite direction. She turned' around and flagged down the dri- ver. "I was in my Camaro and the Avanti's driver thought I wanted to race him," she said, laughing. Her persistence paid off. Soon, the Avanti belonged to her. Her enthusiasm for her vehicle is apparent in her voice as she points out the Avanti's features. The car i~i was customized by its previous ow ner, a pilot. The dash is config- ured similar to the control panel of an airplane Even the glo ebo\ was personalized for the pilot's wife. He designed an interior pull- out \anit\ tra\ with a pop-up mir-" ror and compartments for her cos- metics. "I guess it's apparent how much I love my car," said Ms. I McDaniel, proudly. And I love to show it to other people." Art Pritchard is pleased %w ith the response to the cruise-in, from the rehab's residents and the commu- nity. He credits the car owners for their w willingness to make their cars accessible. He says the success of the cruise-in wouldn't happen w ith,,ut their \\ killing participation.

"We love our. trees here in Flor- ida," said Ste.e Anderson, veg- etation specialist for FPL. But the last two storm seasons claimed many, and some knocked over power lines, causing power disrup- tions and safetN hazards. "A little planning will go a long way toward protecting our trees, our property and our safety." said Anderson. FPL recommends the following tips to prepare Florida residents - and their trees for the upcoming storm season, while minimizing the likelihood that trees will inter- fere with power lines and disrupt electrical service: /Now is the time, before a hur- ricane threatens, to survey and pre- pare your yard. Look for dead or weakened branches that could snap during a storm and begin pruning to help trees better with- stand high \winds. V If you do see a tree tangled in or too close to a power line, don't tr\ and trim it \ourself. Only spe- cially trained line clearing profes- sionals should work around power lines. V If a tree or branch has dam- aged a pole or line. creating sparks or a power outage, call 1-800--1- OUTAGE to report the problem. V The best way to keep trees from interfering with power lines is prevention: choose the right tree and plant it in the right, place to begin with. Consider the mature height of a tree \hen planting near overhead electric lines. FPL offers specific tips on the selection and proper placement of trees through its Right Tree Right Place pro- gram. Visit www.FPL.com/trees for a list of recommended trees and sug- gested setbacks from o% erhead utilities, as well as those to avoid planting near power lines.

Many stay busy, taking care of grandchildren and great-grandchil- dren, or get involved in communi- ty and church activities. Some go back to school. It's never too late to do that. There are three couples currently attending GED classes at the Sanderson Christian Revival Cen- ter. Larry and Jackie Sluder are 74 and 76 years old; David and Judy Harris are 66 and 62. Larry Sluder was raised in West Virginia and later moved to Fin- leyville (the small community west of CR 229 south of Sander- son). He quit school to take care of his family when his father was seriously hurt in a coal mine acci- dent, and had to stay out of work four years. Larry had just completed the ninth grade and being the oldest boy, had to make a living for his mother, three sisters and five brothers. He went to x ork at a meat packing plant making 35 cents an hour. Larr) and Jackie are a team - they do everything together. Se eral months ago, the Sluders decided the \\ anted high school diplomas. Jackie was raised in Jackson- ville and dropped out of Kirby Smith High School in the ninth grade to get married. She had three children, and she married Larry in 1962. They have lived in Finley- ville since 1976. " For the first time ever, Jackie is learning how to do fractions, deci- mals and percentages. The Sluders study in class only a few feet away from their great- grandson Thomas White and his wife Rebekah, who is now aw\ait- ing the results of her GED test. She tutors the Sluders and her, husband in math and she hopes to enter college. Her husband will soon take the test. David and Judy Harris mo ed to Florida six years ago from Kingston, N.Y. Both are retired and working aggressively toward their GED degree, David grew up in a broken, lotivaied to get their GEDs: ithe Sliiters andiltl /,: uHal-Ioia, home with no father. His mother died of cancer when he was 16, and he then lived with his aunt and cousins. He felt like an orphan. Enrolled in the tenth grade in Scranton, Pa., he dropped out be-. cause he didn't get along with a teacher he thought was too strict. David always wanted to return to school and get a degree. He now ' says he has two reasons: his self- esteem.and his three grandsons. One of them recently dropped out of school. "I lo\ e my grandchildren and I % ant to encourage them to get their education." he says. "Anyone who doesn't have an education will have a hard time getting any-- where in life." Judy Harris grew up in Middle- town, NY. in a single parent home after her father was killed in World War II. She was only eight months old. Judy later needed but one Eng- lish class to graduate high school, but dropped out and went to work at a dry cleaning store, She mar- ried and became a cosmetologist. She and David wed in 1967 and have three children. six grandchil- dren and one great-grand. I wrote this article because I am so proud of Larry, Jackie, David and Judy. It takes courage to go back to school. The\ are an inspi- ration to me, our class and our community. iAnyone interested in getting:' high school diploma should con-' tact the GED program at the school district office, 259-0407. The Sanderson GED program is on Monda) and Tuesday evenings from 6:30-9:00 pm. Contact me at 386-965-0127 to make arrange- ments., PRESS ADVERTISING DEADLINE 4 PM MONDAY qual-i-ty- adj.

The film is about English athletes training for the 1923 Olympics. It shows their training regimen and pretty much all they did was run around. One of the runners hires a profes- sional coach what a scandal that caused, the coach was not even allowed on the field during the Olympics who analyzed the run- ner and set out markers to get the Athletes nowadays are highly tuned machines, with legions of coaches, weight trainers and sports psychologists. Machines determine their muscle mass, arm rotation, body fat, anything that can be measured. runner to increase his stride. A hurdler put pine glasses on his hurdle to see if he was touching the hurdle and another American runner did endless jumps over objects to increase his stamina. They ran and ran. I was in the mall thumbing through a biography of Babe Ruth and there was a photo of the Bambino riding a stationary bike. That was about the extent of his 'training regimen. Athletes nowadays are highly tuned machines, with legions of coaches, weight trainers, sports psy- chologists and others. They are hooked up to machines to determine muscle mass, arm rotation, body fat, anything that can be measured. 'Their diet is regulated, each mus- cle group isolated and worked. Exotic training routines are devised, and often they train with electrodes taped to their bodies, monitoring blood pressure, brain waves and. heart rate.- Even sports that you wouldn't consider high tech have gone over the edge. I heard a report on the newest America's Cup racer. The America's Cup is a yacht race that has been run since the 1800s. Each year it's run it gets a little faster because the technology of the boats improves. But what the sailors do hasn't substantially changed until this year. In the past, if a boat had to tack, or sail against the wind, the sailors would rush to the side of the boat they were going to turn, hang onto a rope and lean out over the sea to give added weight and make a quicker turn. Yachtsmen have been doing this for years. Not this year. This year, the keel of the boat is mechanized. The is a sharp, triangu- lair piece that is under the center of the boat to give it stability. This year, the whole keel moves to help the boat turn. Technology has gone a little too far if you ask me. I don't think that the Bambino would recognize the game he loved. In fact, I wonder whether he would even want to take part. BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports Although Bobby Johns is coaching Wildcats' football this year because of what happened last year, he prefers to not look back. Sort of. "We're starting over. here,. we're not going to worry about last year," he said Monday night, but added that "at practice some days when it was tough out there on the field I used it as a motivation tool." The Cats failed to win a game last sea- son, which, together with off-field issues, led to the res- "We executed fairly ignition of well. We were a little bit head coach Carl West further along than I prior to the thought we'd be. We Baker High h hoghtwe'homecoming were 't very good when game. The we started this spring. team .ost, we finishing, 0- 10. Less than ti(o months later, Johns a former Wildcat player and assistant coach -was hired away from Blountstown High School where he left behind a 23-game winning streak in football and state cham- pionships in weightlifting. S Johns said Monday he'd watched film from two of last season's games to evalu- ate returning players, although he esti- mates he lost 20 members of last year's- varsity squad. He now has his more current film after the Cats held their intrasquad scrimmage Saturday night at Memorial Stadium. Overall, it was good showing, accord- ing to Johns, who said the game was physical but without significant injuries. "We executed fairly well. We were a little bit further along than I thought we'd , be. We weren't very good when we started this , spring."" Johns said he grated film ' from the game - and was sched- uled to meet Tuesday with his coaches to put together the team's depth chart. Although they will choose ' who the starters i are going into m' the fall, the line- up is not set. in stone. "We're not experienced by any means, but they were able to grasp the offense," he said. Johns has put in 75 percent of- his offensive scheme during spring practice. "We didn't show it all Saturday. he said, "mostly because we split our per- sonnel."' On the other side, of the ball, they pla ed a "very. very simple defense... our base front." Johns is hoping to add three more coaches before the season begins, but is waiting for teaching jobs to open up. He didn't name the candidates, but said he coached one, while another came high- ly recom- mended by a good friend and the third answered an internet ad. Johns said he graded' finm from the game and was scheduled to meet Tuesday with his coach- es to put together the team's depth chart. At least two coaches from last year - Joe Vanivactor and junior varsity coach Franklin Griffis did not return. Summer workouts begin May 30. Players \ ill participate in two sessions per day one in the morning, the other in the afternoon Monday through Thursday. State rules prohibit pads and contact during the summer, so much of the \\ork will be weight training, running routes and working on timing and execution. Johns calls weightlifting "the heart of my football program." Since 1998, he's coached three state champions in weightlifting to go along with three consecutive district titles in football, including being state runner-up in 2004. "That's S where I'll be- ...; A gin to rebuild Baker Count\ 's program," he ". said when ." hired in De- cember. "It's y not just strength train- ing, it's where I -teach kids how to compete and how to be champions." what he's seen so far, his team isn't where it needs to be. "It's not paying off yet... but I do think we'll see im- provement over S, the summer." Top, coach Bobby Johns prowls the backfield behind his offensive team in his first on-field appearance as Wildcat head coach. Above, quarterback Rod Rentz is brought down by Calvin Hawkins. Cats' baseball banquet honors champions BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports Pitcher/infielder Matt Wilson was named most valuable player during the Wildcat baseball team banquet held May 18,on the infield at the Baker High field. More than 150 players, parents anid others - the most ever attended the steak dinner, according to coach John Staples. "I couldn't have asked for a better year from a team, their parents and the administration of Baker County High School," he said in a state- ., ment. "I cannot recall a single negative matter 1 that I had to deal with as far as this team goes." : Staples said 13 of 22 varsity players received P academic certificates for having a 3.0 or better grade point average. Trae Knabb finished his The C high school career with a 4.0 and received the senior team's academic achievement award. Alan "I think I'm as proud of that as I am the dis- trict championship," said Staples, who returned this sea- son to coach the Cats after several years away. In addition to being named Baker County coach of the year, he has been selected to be one of three coaches on national high school rules committee. After five years without-a representative at the North Florida All-Star weekend, the Cats sent five this year. Wilson, J.D. Milton and Ryan Powell played in the Cats' baseball banquet was a solemn affair as you can tell from this photo of rs with coach John Staples. From left, Jarred Carter, Trae Knabb, Josh Whiteh Tanner (kneeling), Matt Wilson, Ryan Powell, J.D. Milton and Dustin Combs. seniors game held May 20 at the University of North Florida.Powell got two hits and played well at first base, Wilson got a hit and pitched two solid innings, and Milton drew a walk and scored in his only at bat. The following day, in the juniors game, Adam Lewis and Kelly Davis also had solid performances. Staples said both players drew interest from Florida State coach Jamie Schouppe and were invited to attend I I the FSU baseball.camp this summer. 5 u "The all-star weekend really capped off the year as all of my boys represented well," Staples SI said. "I even had a college coach comment on how he noticed the first guys at the park both days were the Baker County boys. "It's one of those little things that goes a long ,. way with the people who count." In addition to Wilson, other winners at the banquet were Ryan Powell, Wildcat award; Travis Tyson, rookie of the year; Adam Lewis, most valuable underclassman; Jarrell Rodgers, most valuable pitcher; J.D. Milton, offense; Trae Knabb, defense; Dustin Combs, sparkplug award; Alan Tanner, leadership; Josh Whitehead, coaches award; Jarred Carter, most team improved; Dustin Rowe, Standard award. head, Staples also recognized Timmy Combs and Billy Dugard for their efforts in building the new Wildcat locker room; Wendy Tyson for her hard work in making the concession stand a huge success; Larry Payne, Jimmy Yarborough and Cindy Oglesby for their support of the baseball program. "We got so much accomplished this year through col- laborative efforts of the parents and players by everyone pitching in when work needed to be done," Staples said. "It really raised the bar of expectations for players and parents next year and years to come." e t. W VIM THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, May 25, 2006 Page Twelve SCHOOL .IS Honor Rolls...

Finance Manager Sales Associate Sales Associate Sales Associate AMERICAN RVOUTION I Kyle Craig Sales Associate ~g IEV Classified Adverti The Baker County Press By Jared Wilkerson Real estate writer In case you haven't been watching the news lately, hurricane season is coming back around soon. The weather folks on O , TV love to remind us all of hurri- cane sea- son ,be- cause the Jared Wilkerson, Realtor topic has . the ability to scare the insur- ance premiums out of home-- owners and boost ratings. Hurricane season also has an important impact on the real estate market. Here's a little known fact about buying and selling a home: There is an imaginary box out in the Atlantic Ocean that spans an area of about 250 square miles. When a tropical storm that looks like it may turn into a hurricane either forms in or passes through that box, insurance companies put a, halt on all homeowner's insurance poli- cies being considered for un- derwriting until the course of the storm can be deter- mined. No new policies will be issued during this time. That's important because any home being financed through a lending institution will require a homeowner's policy. Not being able to get the policy will delay closing until everything regarding the storm is straightened out. Sometimes, that could mean losing the deal alto- gether 'if a couple of storms, time their paths just right. The reason the insurance companies do this is obvious. They don't want to have to shell out the money to rebuild a home on which they've only collected one premium. Re- pairing the damage on a hurri- cane devastated home can get pretty costly. In light of last year's storm season, companies that issue policies here in Florida have gone back to' the. drawing board to come up with new guidelines and pricing tables for their premi- ums. Some companies pulled out of the area com- pletely. Last year's hurricane sea- son was a real doozy. In fact, 2005 set 23 new records for various cate-' gories ranging from highest damage costs to longest lasting hurricane season in recorded history. Last year's total damage report came to $150 billion, although $80 billion of it came from Hurri- cane Katrina alone, which was a mixture of hurricane and flood based damage. Any way you look at it, hurricanes are a fact of life that folks in the Northeast Florida area have to be con- cerned about. Considering that, along with the current upswing of homes being built here in Baker County, it seems like May- Hurricane-proofing your home a good idea to consider building options that can in- crease the stability of newly constructed homes. Contractor Tom Barber and his wife Malissa of GCO Construction and PolySteel of North Florida, based right here in Baker County, may have the answer for local F, ', residents considering build- ing a home with added safe- ty in mind. PolySteel is actually a pre- fabricated wall that is in- stalled on the, home site, rather than conventional wall structuring, and then filled to the brim with concrete. This stuff is guaranteed to with- 1 stand winds up to 200 mph and to stop a flying projectile weighing 15 lbs. at speeds up to 100 mph. From the outside and inside of the home, it looks no different than th6 fram- ed walls to which home- owners are accustomed. The obvious question that came to my mind when I first learned of PolySteel was "what about the roof?" That's the thing that usually flies off at some point in the storm and then allows the wind and water to whip apart the insides of the home. I figured that just having impenetrable walls might not completely solve the prob- lem. Then Malissa told me about "Lite-Deck." PolySteel can actually be used to con- struct the underlying portion of the roof. Better still is the manner in which it is ap- plied. When the roof is placed atop the walls, it is filled with concrete in such a way as to conjoin the con- crete in the walls with the concrete in the roof. Malissa explained that this process actually makes the walls and roof one complete structure as if they had been poured all at once. That roof isn't going anywhere unless the hurricane feels like taking SF home is currently being built using Polysteel in Fernandina on the Wal-mart gets its permits; moves on gas station BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Business Earlier this month, Wal-mart pulled the building permit for its Supercenter, which will be 173,429 square feet, accord- ing to county records. In addition, the company's representative has begun the process for approval to build a gas station on the property. Wal-mart paid $11,044 in fees for the construction, elec- trical, plumbing and HVAC per- mits for the building, which will be located at CR 228 and Interstate 10. Word is that the world's largest retailer is aiming to be finished by Thanksgiving. For permitting purposes, the store was valued at nearly $8.9 million. The actual value will be higher. Coincidentally or not the state formula for determining the valuation of a structure was changed less than two weeks after Wal-mart filed for its permits. The per-square-foot charge rose from $62 to $88. Wal-mart pulled county per- mits because it has thus far declined to be annexed into Macclenny, although it will tap into the city's water and sewer lines. As a result, the company will pay one-and-a-half times what utility customers inside the city pay. There is an agreement, how- ever, that the Supercenter will eventually be annexed in. In the meantime, homeown- ers between the city limit and the Wal-mart site are about to seek annexation. You may have noticed the banner draped over the Days Inn sign on South Sixth Street. For the near future, the Days Inn will be the American Inn, an independent motel managed by Chris Patel. Mr. Patel said he wasn't get- ting enough reservations from the chain to justify the 10 per- cent royalty he pays, so will go it alone over the next six or seven months. He also wasn't satisfied with the chain's internet reser- .* Tom Barber stands with one of te Polysteel forms that is filled with concrete to create the walls.

PolySteel has a few more tricks up its sleeve than just hurricane resistance. It is twice as flame retardant as the current building codes require even for commercial properties. It has an STC rating (Sound Transmission Control) of over 48. Con- crete block only carries a rating of 27, which is still good. Therefore, PolySteel is practically soundproof as Well. It also eliminates any wor- ries regarding termites. Con- crete just isn't on the menu in most of the finer termite dining establishments. One of the best features of PolySteel is .its cost effec- tiveness. Obviously, these heavy duty walls are going to cost more to install than frame walls. However, I was surprised to find out that the cost is only an average of 5% more per square foot than conventional methods. That's not bad at all when considering that it also in- creases the resale value of the home significantly. It al- so reduces the man hours required to install PolySteel over conventional frame walls, thereby lowering total construction time. On top of that, the bene- fits of PolySteel are not con- fined only to safety and pri- vacy. It also has an R-factor of 50 nearly three times the average of concrete block construction. The R- factor in a home refers to its energy efficiency regarding insulation. According to PolySteel's own estimates, that means an average savings of about $1400 a year for heating and cooling, implying that the added cost of the mater- ial pays for itself after a few years. It is also important to note that federal insurance regulations require insur- ance premium reductions for homeowners with hurricane proofing materials installed about their homes. PolySteel of North Florida, Inc is the official supplier for PolySteel products in Baker, Bradford, Union and Colum- , bia counties. They offer their services in a subcontracted form, thus allowing them to work on homes being built by builders as well as the homeowners themselves, They even provide a training service for those choosing to build on their own, which allows homeowners the abil- ity to acquire the pre-fabri- cated walls and install them themselves. PolySteel of North Florida can also be contracted to build "Safe Room" additions to existing homes, which may come in handy during a severe storm in anh area where basements and storm cellars are not common, such as Florida.
