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.

FCAT:

Results are a

mixed bag for

Baker County

-low point is

fourth grade

BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
Last week's release of FCAT
scores in reading and mathematics
revealed a mixed bag of results for
Baker County schools, but was
potentially troubling for parents
and teachers of fourth graders.
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).

reading and math scores.).

students on reading,, writing, math

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.

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.

Press Staff
The Da Vinci Code, a best sell-
ing book by author Dan Brown.
was published in April, 2003. 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

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.
No charges were filed.

'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.

"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

ha\e written n about the bloodline of
the married Jesus.
After researching the sources
used by Mr. Brown. Rex. Holohan
has determined that the -scores of
historians' are in fact, onl) four
people, none of v. hom are.histopr.
an-, and only one of % hom has an\,
academic credentials at all, a
degree in psychology.
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. Holohan also examined
the secret societies like the Prior)
of Sion that factor heavily in the
store\ ;
The Priory of Scion, which was
supposed to'protect the descen-
dants of Jesus and Mary Mag-
dalene, is a v, ell-documented hoa\
started in the 1950's by a man
named Planiard. who served jail
time for fraud
He fabricated "secret docu-
ments" and claimed to be one of
these "royal" descendants, hoping
his claim would help him ascend
to the throne of France.,
Plantard confessed under oath
in the 1990's that the entire thing
had been a deception.
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." '

Dan Brown's official website
features the following statement
by the author:

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.

lash at the polls come November.
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. That's the reason people
got so incensed in early May when
the Mexican flag was defiantly.
waved during the demonstrations
for immigration amnesty.
It was, if you'll excuse the cul-

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.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, June 1, 2006 Page Four


Stashed

crack while

on the run
A suspect later identified as
Steven Keith, 22, of Macclenny is
being sought for possession of
crack cocaine he allegedly at-
.tempted to stash in a pipe while
being chased on foot by a county
deputy the afternoon of May 27.
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.

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.

In other recent thefts from resi-

Road southwest of Macclenny.
A 16-year-old male accused
several acquaintances in the theft
of a $200 play station from a resi-
dence off Clete Harvey Rd. on
May 24, then recanted his story
when Deputy Brad Dougherty
learned the person he accused was
somewhere else.
The youth said he made up the
tale to avoid responsibility for ear-
lier giving the station to another
individual. The unit was a gift
from his grandmother.
Shillene McKowen reported the

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.

shortly after 1:00 am after receiv-
ing reports of squealing tires and
reckless driving in the neighbor-
hood.
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.

In loving memory of

Johnson
January, 8, 1938 -May 2,1997

Another year has come and
gone and the emptiness in my
heart is still as deep as it was the
first year you were called away to
your Heavenly home. They say it
gets easier in time, but, I guess
that time has not come for me as I
still miss you..very much today as
I have everyday for the last nine
years. Until we are reunited in
Heaven, I will still love you and
miss you daily.
LOVE FOREVER,
JOYCE

Richard wants no petty-coats in racing


BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Sports Commentary
Danica Patrick may have fin-
ished a disappointing eighth in the
Indy 500 Sunday. but the real loser
in auto racing this weekend was
Richard Petty. ...
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."

OBSERVATIONS BY BOB GERARD .............


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.

Market forecast show downturn


By Jared Wilkerson
Real Estate writer

Sometimes I get the feel-
ing that my life would be so
much
simpler if
I couldn't
read.


that I'd
starve to
death
without
the in-
Jared Wilkerson. 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-

Falling real estate values...


(From Page 1)
petition for them was higher.
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

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.
