PHOTO COURTESY OF EDDIE N' 1E.,., ' Arrested after two tries to get 'free food' A Macclenny man is charged with disorderly conduct after caus- ing disturbances at two neighboring Macclenny fast-food restaurants late in the evening of May 27. Lt. Billy Miller of the sheriff's department responded to a distur- bance call at the Pizza Hut on South 6th about 11:00, shortly after Hudson Bailey, 28, of Macclenny left the store ranting 'about a pizza his wife 'allegedly ordered by phone five hours earlier. Asst. manager Floyd Larry said the suspect used the same tactic several days earlier to wrangle a free pizza from the restaurant, and while discussing the situation with the deputy, Mr. Larry spotted Mr. Bailey standing at the drive- through window of McDonald's across ine street. Lt. Miller, in an unmarked cruis- er, watched nearby as the suspect argued with a manager about the lack of onions on a hamburger two days earlier. The officer noted an "astonished look" on Mr. Bailey's face when he exited the car to confront the sus- pect. who Lt. Miller said appeared high on drugs. A trio of arrests for disorderly intoxication took place over the Memorial Day weekendd. including that of Carl Miller, 32, of Mac- clenny. When several officers responded to a disturbance call at the Country Club Lounge south of Macclenny, Mr. Miller admonished them to "go eat some more donuts" and moved threatenly toward Sgt. Adam Faircloth. The officer noted Mr. Miller continuously cursed during the trip to county jail and while being booked. Robert Cowart, 49, of Bunnell, Fla. was arrested for being drunk and having a small amount of mari- juana just after 4:00 am on May 28 in the parking lot of the Fastway convenience store in Olustee. He told Deputy Darrin Whitaker some friends dropped him off there earlier and he was enroute to see a son. Dustin Parker, 18, of Jacksonville was arrested after he became loud and belligerent while being ques- tioned by Deputy James Parham shortly after 1:00 am on May 29. Mr. Parker was a passenger in a truck stopped for speeding on 2nd St. in Macclenny. ruffled...

The percentage of fourth grade students reading at grade level dropped 15 points from last year's; scores. By comparison, the next biggest drop was 4 percent among tenth graders, while fifth and sixth grad- ers each fell just one percent. The remaining three grades saw increases seventh (6 percent), eighth (5 percent) and ninth (9 per- cent). (See accompanying chart for reading and math scores.).

The scores are used to develop educational strategies for individual students as well as schools. , The FCAT is also used to assess schools and school districts, and hold them accountable. Within the next couple of weeks the state will release its school evaluations, which are letter grades based on FCAT performance. Typically, Baker County schools tend to receive grades of C. Susan Voorhees, director of ac- countability and special programs for the school district, said the large Sixth 52 Eighth 59 58 Tenth 63 59 drop in fourth grade scores might be attributable in part to the state's "good cause" promotion policy. Students who were retained a total of two years in kindergarten, first, second or third grade cannot be retained- again and must be pro- moted to fourth grade, according to 'the legislation. Noting those students "don't have a history of academic suc-. cess," Ms. Voorhees says that state education officials are pointing to this "first year bubble" as a ppssi- ble reason. She added, however, that it's possible there are other factors.

The story combines conspiracy, art, his- tory. religion and murder to culmi- nate in what the author's official website is declaring to be one of the most widely read books of our time. The Reverend Tom Holohan, a native New Yorker, is an evangeli- cal minister, author, and former television host currently residing in Macclenny where he has family. He believes the Bible today is under a cultural attack as never be- fore in its history, and one of the root causes of the assault is the publication of The Da Vinci Code. The movie version of the book opened last weekend to record breaking attendance. The story revolves around the revelation of a mind bending code hidden in the works of Renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci. Fam- ous paintings by Da Vinci, includ- ing the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper, figure prominently in the solution to the mystery. Seeking the truth behind the code guarded by a secret society results in a desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe, and culminates with the unveiling of an astonishing, shock- ing truth concealed by the Catholic Church for centuries. "The canon (authority) of the 66 books that comprise the Bible is currently under widespread, fla- grant attack instigated by the pub- lishing of this book," believes Rev. Holohan. He contends that a book such as The Da Vinci Code, although pre- sented and defended as a work of fiction based on "fact," is an exam- ple of extremely irresponsible jour- nalism. According to Rev. Holohan, the story mixes a small amount of fact with a very large' amount of fiction. Most people are not equipped to accurately filter fact from fiction. They will absorb as true whatever someone presents to them as truth.

The outcome was starkly different that same evening when Michael J. Collett, 1, survived being run over by a backing vehi- cle on Blair St. in west Macclenny. A witness told Deputy Alison Smith the GEO Tracker ran over the infant in a drive- way about 7:00 and she said the boy escaped with non-life threatening injuries to his low- er body. Christopher Johns, 17, of Macclenny, who was driving the Tracker, said stopped when he heard a honking horn and did not feel the vehicle hit or run over anything. He did hear a crunching sound as a wheel crushed a toy in the driveway. Passenger Thomas Pickering, 19, also of Macclenny, exited the vehicle and found young Collett lying under the door.

S' e POTO HY K I.Y .ANe(;\N 'DaVinci Code' (From page two) "There are assertion- in thi, book-that are totally incorrect., Anyone can do a little,research, and see for themselves that many of the "facts" are'just % wrong' " believes the minister. "The prob- lem is, most people won't do that. If the author gets:simple informa-- tion such as the well-documented date of an established historical event, incorrect, then how are we to trust him with more serious, so- called "fact." Rev. Holohan's program on the Da Vinci Code was one topic pre- sented during a four evening series of messages of his "Set For De- fense of the Gospel" program that started May 28 at New Life Church of God in Macclenny. "I'm not presenting this informa- tion as 'This is what I believe,'" said Rev. Holohan. "I'm presenting it as 'This is what fact is."' According to Rev. Holohan, The' Da Vinci Code story contains many assertions statements or ideas declared or stated positively, often with no support or attempt at proof. During his Monday night pre- sentation, the minister identified many of the main assertions made in the book that he takes exception to. Then, based on his personal research, he took those assertions apart, disecting them historically, archeologically and biblically. For instance, according to The Da Vinci Code story, the divinity of Christ was not preached until : the 3rd Century. Prior to that no one, including the disciples, believed that Jesuts Christ was God or divine. That idea was constructed by Emporer Constantine at the Coun- cil of Nicea'(ancient Turkey) in 325 A. D. This council was a two month meeting, during which. Catholic bishops from many lands hammered out doctrinal statements and _beliefs in an attempt to unify all of Christiandom. Butch's Paint 5573 Harl YOUR ONE STOP ( ALL MAJOR & M I ., - rent-a.ca.rl DROP-OFF St "That assertion is laughable to anyone with an\ knowledge of history at all," says Rev. Holoman. "There are many documented in- stances by legilimiate, respected historians lii ing during the era after, Christ's resurrection that ref- cred to Christ as tlie Sn of God and as divine long before the 3rd Century." For example: Ignatius in A.D. 105: "God himself was manifest in human form." Justin the Marty r in A.D. 160: "Being the first begotten word of God is even God; the father of the universe has a son and he is even God." Irenaeus in A.D. ISO9. "Our Lord and God, the,;j\ io i and king: He is God, .for the name Emmanuel indicates- this.". The Da Vinci Code also strong- ly asserts that Christ was married. to Mary Magdalene and there were offspring from their union "Listen to Brown's two reasons 'for supportingg this idea," said Rev. Holohan. 1. Jewish society would have looked down on men being unmar- ried; so therefore Christ was prob- ably married. 2. We don't know for sure that Christ wasn't married. "What kind of scholarship is that?" asks the minister. "What about John the Baptist? He wasn't married. Jeremiah wasn't married. Isaiah wasn't married. Neither was Paul. You don't hear anyone cast- ing speculation on their marital status." Rey. Holohan called attention to the fact that in chapter 60 of The Da Vinci Code, author Browvn asserts that "scores" of historians & Body Shop ey Thrift Rd.

The four so-called historians are x\ writers and researchers of the occult, the paranormal and reli-- glous mysteries who have pub- lilited such books as The Stargate Conspit ace. The 11rth about extra- terrestrial life andt thic mysteries of Egypt. Rev.

Yet, Dan Brown portrays this information differently. According to a recent 60 Minutes CBS News program: "As for Brown, he declined a 60 Minutes request for an inter-' .iew%. But on his %web site, there:is a page entitled 'Bizarre True Facts from. The Da Vinci Code,' where he continues to claim that the Priory of Sion is a European secret society\ that since 10199 has been guarding 'a shocking historical secret.'" . "The ideas portrayed in books and mo\ ies are powerfully influ-, ential," asserts Re\. Holohan. "NMy deepest concern is for those teeter- in, on the edge of making a faith- based decision to become Christ- ians. When they, read, this book, they are lost." The Macclenny minister finds it' ironic that many people \\ill read The Da Vinci Code and accept its ideas without an\ examination belowt the surface meaning, but re- ject the Bible outright without e\er having read it at all. "I've already encountered many people % ho, because of The Da, Vinci Code, have rejected the Christian faith and dismissed the e\i,tence and divinity of Jesus as a lie," Rev. Holohan claims. "Again, the problem is people not being equipped to separate the fact from the fiction. It's the young people \\ ho are most impression- able that te are losing because of this book that most breaks my heart."

Lionel Ritchie as a peace maker? We've gone nuts MY SIDE OF THE MATTER Real life is sometimes much more bizarre than anything invent- ed by art. In the fitful search for the germ of a column idea, your intre- pid yellow journalist will search the ozone of c berspace looking for inspiration. More often than not what I find are companies claiming to lower my mortgage payment or grow hair wherever I want it. But occasionally I run across lit- tle gems that I feel compelled to share with you. Here are a couple nuggets for your entertainment. VA duck comes into a hospital with a broken wing. Sounds like the start of a joke doesn't it (A man comes into a bar with a duck on his head.) Anyway, this duck gets an X-ray for its broken wing. Low and behold, the broken wing is the least of the duck's wor- ries. There's something growing in the duck's stomach. No, not a baby duck didn't you take high school biology? Ducks lay eggs, remem- ber? With thoughts of the headline of the supermarket tabloid News of the World Duck Gives Birth to Human Baby running through their heads, the veterinarians exam- ined the X-ray. Insert creepy music here. Instead of anything as mundane as a human baby inside the belly of the auck, what the vet seemed to see staring back at her was the head of ET. That's right, an alien. And before you start wondering, the vet was not Sigourney Weaver and the alien didn't burst through the lining of the duck's stomach and eat everyone in the building. Nothing so mundane. The duck did, however, die, whether from the effects of a bro- ken wing or having a belly full of alien was not clear. What also isn't clear what happened to the duck after that. If I were the vet; I might just have taken a scalpel to see what was going on inside its belly. But no, instead, this intrepid sci- entist did what any 21st century intrepid scientist would do in this situation. She decided to cash in on it by calling in reporters and selling the X-ray on Ebay. ET phone home! You're stuck like Jonah in the belly of Daffy Duck. V The only thing the Iraqi Sunnis, Shites and Kurds seem capable of agreeing on these days is the music playing on their IPods. Sunnis might hate Shiites. Shiites might hate Kurds. They all proba- bly hate Americans, but there is one American that keeps them rocking "all night long, all night, all night long." That's right, the Iraqis love them some Lionel Ritchie. Germans love David Hasselhoff and Iraqis can't get enough of the. 80s crooner. Even the most dedicat- ed insurgent will stop oiling his AK-47 and start breaking dancing in the streets of Baghdad when "Dancing on the Ceiling", comes on the radio. You think I'm kidding? Nope. Ritchie is baffled by his fame in delta of the Tigris and Euphrates. Babylon loves Lionel Ritchie. If I were President Bush, I'd jump on this opportunity. The Lionel Ritchie Unity Tour could do what the US and Brits can't. Ritchie's music could be the unit- ing factor for this troubled nation. Just think. Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds break dancing together. It's a start. V This just in from the Cheech and Chong school of journalism. When a teacher at a St. Paul, Minnesota elementary school asked a 6-year-old to turn in his home- work, it wasn't multiplication tables that fell out of his back pack. Oh, no. Scooby Doo coughed up 25 small bags of marijuana. The young student looked a little confused. The teacher was shocked. Scooby Doo on the front of the backpack looked a little cross-eyed and seemed to have. the munchies. Before the police arrived, the boy's rather flustered father show- ed up, took the backpack and left at a trot. They arrested 29-year-old Corey Randle for drug possession. It seems Randle hid the drugs in the backpack and when he discovered that the backpack was missing, ran to school to get it. V What can we expect next from Pat Robertson? The 700 Club host, who last year called for the assassi- .nation of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and claimed that the 9/11 attacks happened because God lifted his protection from the USA, now seems to claim that his physi- cal prowess rivals that of Samson. Robertson recently claimed to have leg-pressed a ton.-That's right, 2000 pounds, and he has. a photo showing the 76-year-old evangelist in the gym to prove it. I'm not saying I'm skeptical, but I have an easier time believingthe duck with the alien in its belly and the Lionel Ritchie will unite Iraqis. The fact that even the most buff FSU football player can only man- age half that total gives the effort Herculean, if not Samson-like Overtones. What's next, Robertson pulling down the columns in front of the Supreme Court? Worked for Samson. V Bird flu worries aside, a woman rescued her exotic chicken from drowning by performing mouth-to-beak resuscitation. Boo Boo the chicken was found by her owner floating face down in a pond. Jackie Calhoun, a retired nurse from Arkadelphia, Arkansas, used CPR on the bird, and it worked! What's it like to give Boo Boo the chicken the kiss of life? Tastes like chicken. They should 'have thought about that with the duck. The vet could have sold him and his alien buddy on Ebay. Your opinion counts... Send us a letter -and sign it ALL FLORIDA CUSTOM AIR, INC.

If the public anger is there as some suggest, 25 years of lack- adaisical enforcement of this na- tion's immigration laws will harm both major political parties., And well it should. Public opinion polls suggest most Americans strongly favor both enforcing existing laws on immigration, while at the same time they support letting others into this country as long as they follow the rules to become citizens. The public also appears to have no strong objection to allowing for- eigners in on work or study visas, this in spite of what most realize is a continuing threat from radical Islam and the host of other sects and nations who wish us harm. Americans like to believe their culture abides in a sense of "fair play," and that's what this is all about. Amnesty for those already here illegall, a requirement for back taxes or other superficial C"penalties" written into pending legislation don't seem to do "much to placate the average Joe. Illegal means illegal; it doesn't mean "undocumented"'or other terms used to soften the context, of what's really going on here. Illegals come into the country lacking the orientation into our cul- ture, customs and governmental institutions things necessary to aspire to American citizenship. You could make the case that students go through many public school systems today and don't get that orientation, either, but that misses the point. People who want to come to the United States like our ancestors did must want also to assimilate into this compelling and unique culture that we have. We are many but we are one.

Macclenny Ave. Mac259-205enny 259-2054 tural inference, like waving a red cape in front of a charging bull. Were I a candidate to unseat a member of Congress on the basis of being soft on illegal immigra- tioni, I'd play the "Mexican flag" card at the drop of, shall we say, a sombrero. One, can get lost amid the rea- sons given as to why we find our- selves in this situation in 2006. I believe our "head in the sand" mentality meshed so well with the politically correct dogma of multi- culturism, thus making it "insensi- tive" to come down hard on any group of foreign newcomers, legal or not. That explains why we have store signs and packaging in both Eng- lish and Spanish; A while back, an acquaintance vowed to avoid purchasing any product with bi-lingual packaging, or support any retailer falling prey to the "sensitive" side of foreign immigration. When the Greeks, Italians, Ger- mans, Japanese and Chinese im- migrated to America, did we feel the need to package cereal in their language? In most cases, immi- grants spoke native languages in their homes and neighborhoods, but realized if they wanted to make it in American they had to speak, guess what? It worked. The US became strong econonmi- cally and politically because it wel- comed others to its shores, and even those who met prejudice stuck it out and made it. A big reason was because they came in legally. Anyone see a les- son in that? With the exception of ho\\ we're e going to put the cap back on the toothpaste tube and send illegals ba6k, this isn't complicated.; It just takes a government with the guts to say, "No more." In the meantime, I don't think I'm going to go along with the boy- cott of products packaged in Eng- lish and Spanish, or avoid doing business with firms whose auto- answering devices ask me which language I prefer. I noticed the other day one of my favorite brands of toilet paper is packaged with both languages side by side. You gotta draw the line some- where. Classifieds...

Deputy John Hardin said the suspect started running after spot- ting his patrol car near Grissholm St. in the west city. The officer said he quit the chase after falling while climbing a fence, but saw Mr. Keith stuff a small bag into the pipe at the rear of a residence off Joan St. .He later retrieved the bag and its contents tested positive for crack cocaine. Deputy Hardin identified the suspect after talking to neighbors and looking at a mug shot. The criminal complaint charges him with felony possession. Toni Gainey, 19, of Glen St. Mary was booked on a similar charge the evening of May 26 after her 2004 Chevrolet was stopped by Sgt. Thomas Dyal on Tony Givens Road in north Sanderson. A search of her vehicle turned up a vial of 26 prescription pills of varying description, pills she told police she obtained from friends. Sgt. Dyal said he stopped Ms. Gainey in the neighborhood known for drug activity because she was following too closely behind the patrol car of another deputy. Two occupants of a vehicle that failed to stop at the intersection of Lowder and Griffin Ct. the eve- ning of May 26 ended up charged with several offenses. Deputy John Hardin said he" found a crack pipe and other drug paraphernalia in the vehicle driven by Lora Addison, 38, no address listed. - Passenger Wendell Rhoden, 46, of Macclenny was charged with having four open bottles of whis- key in the vehicle. T dt- Ai a A Sanderson woman is blaming an ex-tenant in the disappearance of a freezer valued at $600 from her rental property off CR 229 north. Cynthia Davis reported the theft on May 19, several days after the suspect, a 30-year-old Macclenny man, moved out. The ex-tenant had been at the residence to re- move a pool table, and his wife re- portedly gave conflicting stories ,on whether the freezer was there. FCAT results a mixed bag (From page two) cent respectively. The upper grades have solid math scores at or near 60 percent but their reading percentages drop significantly each year from eighth through tenth grades. Ms. Voorhees, however, pointed out 'that other FCAT scores show Bak)er County students improving as they move through the school system. She was referring to the Mean Developmental Scale Score (DSS), which tracks students' progress from grade to grade. The "grade level" scores com- pare separate groups of students - this year's fourth graders aren't reading as well as last year's. "Just looking at one set of num- bers doesn't give you the whole picture," Ms. Voorhees said. DSS scores show improvement in reading and math in all grades except tenth-grade. The DSS is intended to deter- mine whether individuals are pro- gressing as they should be as they, rise through the grades. The past year's eighth graders showed significant progress in reading, while fifth and seventh graders made big~gains in math. Crack-crazed man accosts girlfriend One of four criminal complaints filed the past week for domestic violence involves at Macclenny couple that has been feuding for, weeks, according to the investigat- ing deputy. Annetta Moore, 40, called po- lice about 3:00 am on May 23 af- ter boyfriend Leo Jefferson, 39, allegedly attempted to stab her with two kitchen knives at their residence on Grissholm St. Ms. Moore said her husband had been high on crack cocaine several days and accused her of having an affair. She and Mr. Jefferson are the parents of three children. Cashed 2 fake checks A criminal complaint for two counts of forgery has been filed / against a Jacksonville woman who authorities believe cashed two bo- gus payroll checks at the Mac- clenny Winn-Dixie the past two months. The individual furnished a dri- ver's license identifying her as Serena Edwards, 23, when she presented checks from Suwannee Medical Personnel in early April. They totaled $840.24. In other theft cases, two Mac- clenny area restaurants reported cash missing during the past week, and named employees as suspects. A manager at. the Waffle House said the cash.drawer came up $73.60 short from the morning shift on May 24. Roxann Buckminister told De- puty William Hilliard it was the- third such incident, and the suspect employees denied taking money. The following day, police were called to Burger King, also on South 6th, after a surveillance tape allegedly showed a 21-year-old male employee taking $40 from a safe. The worker denied taking the cash, and said he went to the safe only to get change. n 1co m~n She told Deputy Tony Norman that her boyfriend thrust the knives at her "in a violent rage" before she fled the residence and called police. A similar complaint resulted from an incident involving a Glen St. Mary couple the evening of May 24. Toni Griffis, 44, accused hus- band Tony Griffis, 47, of striking ,and choking her during an argu- ment at their residence off Con- federate Dr. She also said he threw her around the yard, then left the scene before police arrived. Mr. Griffis, later contacted via phone, denied the attack and said his wife became agitated earlier and is addicted to prescription medication. Johnny Harvey, 34, a correc- tions officer from Starke, is ac- cused of inflicting a laceration to the head of Marcus Rowe, 33, of Macclenny during an altercation off SR 121 South the evening of May 24. Mr. Rowe, who was treated at Fraser Hospital for a deep cut over his right eye, is married to Mr. Harvey's ex-wife Daisey, 28, and the trio agreed to meet that eve- ning at the intersection of Sapp Road to exchange the divorced couple's 10-year-old son. Mr. Harvey and the son gave police conflicting versions of what happened during that exchange, but it also resulted in damage to Mr. Harvey's truck, allegedly from a baseball bat. Several other minor children also witnessed the confrontation. Rosemary McDowell, 29, of Macclenny filed a domestic vio- lence complaint against husband Edward, 34, after he allegedly put her in a head lock and punched her in the face during an argument af- ter midnight on May 26. SMr. McDowell fled the resi- dence on North Boulevard after the incident, and the victim told police her ex-husband also took her wallet and identification cards belonging to her and their children. , He is believed to be in the Jack- sonville area and a warrant is to be issued for his arrest.

PHOTO BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Yet more drivers without licenses The sheriff's department's chief of patrol wondered aloud earlier this week which number was greater: those driving with or with- out licenses. "It seems like more of them out there don't have a license and don't care," observed Lt. Gerald Gonza- lez after another string of arrests, over the holiday weekend. Early on May 29, Cheryl Man- asco, 25;, of Baldwin was arrested for driving on a twice-suspended license after she was stopped for reckless driving at McIver and 2nd St. in Macclenny. She was charged also with hav- ing an e\pired license tag, having an open container of alcohol in her 1996 Ford Mustang and contribut- ing to the delinquency of'a 17- year-old female passenger, who al- so was drinking. Deputies stopped Ms. Mlanasco Dr: Wiegand Medical degree Luke Wiegand graduated with honors May 4 from the University of South Florida medical school among the top 20 studefits of his class.

His un- dergraduate degree is in biology from Jacksonville University, where he pitched all four years on the baseball team. He was also co- captain of the team and academic scholar athlete.

Deputy Tony Norman learned shortly after stopping James Ty- son, 32, of Glen St. Mary that he is designated an habitual offender following ten license suspensions dating back ten years. Mr. Tyson was driving a speed- ing Honda 4-wheeler east on US 90 from the Little St. Marys River bridge the morning of May 27.' The next day shortly after 10:00 am, Nathen Collett, 26, of Jack- sonville was charged with the same offense and resisting Deputy John Hardin by initially, giving him a false name. Mr. Collett was slopped in Macclenny after his 1994 Chrysler ran a stop sign at SR 121 and Michigan. Also charged last week with know ingli driving with a suspend- ed license was Oren McDermitt, 48. of Glen St. Mary. He was stop- ped in a 1986 Nissan pickup on College St. in Macclenny. One or more persons may be re- sponsible for stealing a .22 caliber rifle from a parked Ford pickup truck in the parking lot of the Macclenny Wal-Mart the after- noon of May 28. Kari Walker of Macclenny said she responded to an announcement inside the store that the truck belonging to her boyfriend Travis Crump was parked in the lot ith an open door. When she responded, she spot- ted a balding white male in his 30's standing next to the passenger side placing property back into the vehicle. He told her a black male was in the truck earlier and fled across the parking lot. When Ms. Walker bent down to place an amplifier back into the pickup, the white male fled. She' described him as 5'8" weighing 200 pounds. In other \ehicle-related thefts, a 1988. Mazda pickup parked in a yard off John Williams Road was reported stolen May 21 by its own- er Donald Mixon.

He was widely quoted as sao ing. "I just don't think it's a sport -for women. And so far, it's pro\ ed out. It's really not." Coincidentally, exactly 30 years ago, he expressed the same senti- ment when Janet Guthrie became the only woman to race in the Co'ca Cola 600. She also was the first w oman to drive in the Daytona 500 and Indy 500. "She's no lady," King Dick said., "If she was, she'd be at home. There's a lot of differences in being, a laUd and being a woman." On the other hand, there's not a lot of difference in being a seven- time Winston Cup winner and an ignoramus w ith a big, goofy hat. Compare Petti's opinion to that of NASCAR uber-legend Junior Johnson. "I thought of her as a race driv- er. I didn't think of her as a woman or a man. .- Will there e\ er be a time where that is the norm? Who know s, but it certainly isri't now. Nearly every tine golfer Michelle Wie gets a sponsor's exemption to compete in a men's tournament, there's, at least one dork in ugly pants who complains. that she doesn't belong. Usually, the objection concerns the poor fellow out there every' week trying to make a living, but can't get in the tournament because Wie swoops in and takes a slot that would have been his. As if any tournament would suf- fer because the 108th ranked male player isn't on the course while one of the most intriguing golfers in the' world is. He ,she's not just a female, but she', only 16, ears old! Who wouldn't't want to watch, her compete against grown men?, (Other than the grown men she beats.) "Here is my hypothesis on sports, gender-blendin. When was the'last time.you heard any players from the NBA, NFL, or Major, League Baseball complain about a \'oman pla. ing their sport? It's not a coincidence that the whining comes from auto racing and golf, %those participants are always the usual suspects in the ."Ari they really athletes?" discus- sions at bars. Feeling a little inadequate, boys? In mni opinion, it doesn't require classic athletic ability to drive.'a car. or drive a golf ball. The most basic human athletic endeavor is running. Throwing is right behind, then catching. Neither golf nor racing has any of those unless you count a driver running out on the track and throwing his helmet at the guy who spun him out, then catching hell from NASCAR officials. That's not to say it doesn't take serious skills to do both. It also doesn't mean that a golfer can't be . a great athlete, it's just not neces- sary to the sport. But walking around Augusta or driving around Talladega for a few , hours doesn't exact tax the car- dio-vascular system. Try running through the five boroughs in the New York City Marathon. Of course, if you're John Daly, lugging that beer gut around the 'course while sucking down ciga- rettes, you're probably working up a pretty good sweat. And I'm sorr\ NASCAR fans, but the fact ihat some drivers feel it necessary to urinate in their fire suits doesn't mean they re pushing themselves beyond their physical limits. It probably means the\ for- got to go before lea\ ing their RV. But most golfers or drivers don't \want to hear it Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds were announcing Sunday's Coca Cola 600. With- about 100 miles to go DW started talking dramatically about how dif- ficult the race is because it's longer than any other on the NASCAR circuit. "This is when all that nutrition, all that training pays off," the for- mer Cup champion said. McReynolds, a former crew chief, jumped in with, "Can you still focus? -Can you get up on that wheel?" One other thing he said, howev- er, better sums up the situation: "It's about driver comfort." /sanahA Mill,I blasted- -ne* ci ow ofthc park Thurldla i1n his Pi"ce' lied )ai'i-s'on 'i.ame His par'Lit hatI ,.L' ii 'ld a I I /Ich r i/ih fir>t ,-:r s,.', i7d t.c a Pee Wee hitter ho, clh'-cd iic I/, 'IL The tijttCill\u-al*ld is playing his first season in Litt'i LI .i1a ic His ll/hac Sox pliit the Yanke' in thI i ci'anmp;i.

If you .\watched any of the Southeast Conference champi- onship game, you got to see Macclenny nativeTyler Rhoden pitch for the Vanderbilt Commodores. Rhoden is the son of Jamie and Jane Rhoden. Rhoden led the surprising CommoJores.--inio the SEC cham- pionshipN game against i the Mississippi State Bulldogs, a perennial NCAA College world d Series team. Rhoden pitched four innings and ga\ e up four runs on. six hits in the 9-3 loss. It was amazing to see the Macclenny ace on the mound. That the Commodores would entrust the biggest game of the sea- son to a sophomore is a testament to the kind of confidence that coach Tim Corbin puts 'in his young ace. "He pitches well in tough situa- tions," Corbin said. There aren't many tougher than the SEC Championship. Prior to joining the Commodores, Rhoden pitched for Bolles and was an all First-Coast, All District and second team All State player. Rhoden played through some injuries to star for Vandy. Ricky Williams, the Miami run- ning back who tested positive for drugs for a fourth time and was suspended for a year by the NFL, will ply his trade in Canada this season. He will play ball for the Toronito Argonauts of the CFL. Those crazy Canadians must not care that the\ are getting a gu. v- ho is the ultimate loose cannon. Not only does he love his marijuana, but if you threaten to keep him from smoking it, he'll just walk off the team and disappear. He quit in 2004 to hang out on the beach and get high. The Dolphins gave him a second, or third or fourth chance bui he couldn't keep away from the drugs. ' At some point, the Dolphins and the NFL just need to cut this gu\ loose. If he wants to stay up north of the border, let him. Sure he can run, but what kind of effect does having a guy like Williams in the locker room have on the team. Football is a team sport about discipline and hard work and stick- ing together in tough times as well as good. It doesn't seem that those, qualities have made it through Williams' dreadlocks. He's all about Ricky Williams.

Realtor t i structions on the back of the TV din- ners and I'm thankful for lit- eracy again. Plus, this col- umn's bad enough as it is without it being a conglomer- ation of nonsensical letters and punctuation marks hap- hazardly arranged at random which only make sense to me. At any rate, the point I'm getting at is that, against my better judgment, I've been reading a lot of real estate speculation reports again and the news may spell trou- ble in the coming years. Let's start out with a cou- ple of questions my recent reading has brought up: I Is the lending industry responsible for a coming fall of home values across the nation? 1 Are weak real estate in- vestors who are still reeling from the 2005 boom about to ruin land developer' prof- its? , 1 Last but not least, why aren't the subdivisions around Baker County filling up faster? According to an MBA (Mortgage Bankers Associa- tion) national delinquency survey conducted in March, 2006, the number of foreclo- sure proceedings in the U.S. has been steadily increasing over the past three years. There are several factors be- ing blamed for the increas- es, ranging from rising ener- gy costs to the rising inter- est rates on home loans. But there may be another source of this evil which is going somewhat overlooked. First, let me say that fore- closures are absolutely horri- ble. Some investors may love them because it leads to opportu- nities to purchase homes at reduced prices, but the truth is that every time a home goes into fore- closure, someone's dreams have just been shattered... along with their credit. It's some- thing that will follow and affect that fami-' ly for years to come. Contrary to popu- lar belief. banks and lenders hate the foreclosures just as much as anyone else. For them, it means huge profit losses in the way of not getting the inter- est payments they were hoping to col- lect, as well as the possibility of por- tions of the principle amount of the loan never being fully paid back. It is for this last" reason that it may surprise some read- ers to learn that one t of the major causes for the increase in foreclosure proceed- ings is the maturing of a number of creative financing, methods that were offered by lenders in the recent years. In 2004, an unusual amount of adjustable rate mortgages (ARM programs) and interest-only loans were issued to buyers in the U.S. housing market. These lower payments were lovely during the first year or so, but as the interest rates rise along with the LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offered Rate) index and balloon payments be- come due forcing refinanc- ing, these payments aren't so low anymore. People who bought homes under these programs anticipating their own income to rise during those years to make up the difference are finding that it just didn't happen that way. Whether the homes actu- ally come to full foreclosure and are sold at auction or simply entice the owners to The real estate market could falter in the next few years. sell quickly with a real estate agent for a lower price really makes very little difference when it comes to the affect it has on the market. With an influx of these homes selling low, it drags down the appraisal figures for the homes selling in the same neighborhoods., Add that to the fact that the, ris- ing rates make less money available to the average buy- er and that's how prices go down. Don't .worry too much about the foreclosure thing here though. Right now, there are a whopping three bank-owned properties on the Baker County market and our county has support- ed an annual average of only about 70 letters of lis pen- dens (notice of impending foreclosure) issued over the last several years. Taking in- to account differences in population, that's still noth- ing compared to Duval and Clay counties, whose actual foreclosure numbers range in the thousands. . Regarding the investor im- pact on land developments, there are two prices that need to be considered pre- construction and post-con- struction. A simple rule of thumb is that preconstruc- tion prices are almost al- ways lower than post-con- struction. That's why so many investors take advan- tage of new developments. They buy the properties cheaply, wait for the subdivi- sion to fill up and become established, then resell the home when supply has di- minished and demand has grown. Simple. However, so many in- vestors did this in the 2005 boom that many speculators today are wondering if those same investors may still be too tied in with their previous properties to repeat this practice in the coming years, thanks to the slower housing market. Without the demand for new construction being somewhat inflated by in- vestors, it seems obvious that these homes and con- dos being built everywhere will have to sell at a slightly lower price than if the com- (See Page 2) Land sales recorded May 16-30 The following land transac- tions were recorded in the Baker County courthouse May 16-30.

Some developers are even trying to enforce "homestead- only"' guide- lines in order to prevent in- vestors from purchasing in the early phases of con- struction. The rationale for this is that it's an attempt to keep all th6se "For Rent" signs out of their pretty new subdivisions while they're trying to get buyers to come in and pay full price. However, it-borders on counterproductive to prevent the sale of these homes if the practice ultimately puts a halt on construction until a certain number of intend- ed residents commission to have the homes built in the first place. Basically, when some- thing isn't selling, the price goes down until it does. Which scares me into ask- ing the question: Why do so' many of the developments here in Baker County seem to be coming along so slow- ly? Maybe I've just been spoiled by the develop- ments I'm more accus- tomed to in Jacksonville, where one day I drive by and see a sign that some new development is coming and Truck Mechanics Needed 'Prefer 2 \ears diesel! xpericte Well vwrsed m preventive mamtenanre Must ha:' tIols. uimlorms furnished Good Pay & Benefils Apply in person at 1050 SE 6th Ave. (llwy. 121) Lake Butler or call Pritchell Trucking 800-808-3052 then a few months later I go back by and there's an en- tire neighborhood where, the woods used to be. Just the same, I get the feeling that some of these newer subdi- visions aren't selling so well. I could be wrong about that, no doubt. After all, these same home plans are selling for $30,000-$40,- 000 more in Jacksonville, so they're certainly attrac- tive to new people in this area. It's just that if these devel- opers do start having to come up with fierce competi- tion programs involving re- bates and paying buyer clos- ing costs, it will seriously hin- der the residential resale market here in Baker County. Baker County residents will just have to keep an eye out for these possible market de- velopments in the coming year and adjust their selling strategies accordingly.
