J IJV-4l" BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff Macclenny officials approved a priority list of road repairs Tuesday night, but will seek bids on the work before deciding whether the city can afford to do all of them. A preliminary estimate for com- pleting-all 19 trouble spots is $715,232. The work ranges from resurfacing to new construction. The city will ask that the bids remain valid for 60 days, giving city manager Gerald Dopson time to figure out the financial impact. on the budget. "We don't want to come back a couple of years from now and say, 'We made a boo-boo here,"' said city commissioner Vernon Bennett. Consultant Frank Darabi pre- sented the priority) list to the com- mission, saying the city could ask for bids on the cost per linear foot then determine how much money is available in the budget in order to figure how many of the projects could be done. Mr. Dopson and Mr. Darabi have been working on the list for more than tvx o months. They drove around the city to assess the condi- tion and relative importance of the streets. For instance, streets around the Fraser Hospital north Third Street and east Stansell Avenue were included on the list of roads need- ing resurfacing, as is South Boulevard in front of the Kindergarten/Pre-K center. Mayor Gary Dopson said he was in favor of doing all the projects at (Page two please) Hit and run 1-10 fatality Baker County's traffic fatality count climbed to six late on June 11 when a Tennessee man who had been thrown off his motorcy- cle was struck by an eastbound ve- hicle that failed to stop. James N. Roberts, 49, of Sum- mertown was also eastbound in the inside lane of Interstate 10 two miles east of Sanderson when his bike struck a piece of tire debris in the roadway, said the Florida Highway Patrol. He was lying on the pavement still in the inside lane when what witnesses said appeared to be mid- size passenger vehicle rolled over him. The impact tossed Mr. Ro- berts' body into the median. The accident occurred at about 11:00 pm and was the second mot- orcycle-related fatality in Baker County since early April. 11101111 1 III 6 89076 48819 8 be answer to fie woes, dPy summer It was unclear as the remnants of Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Alberto moved over Baker County early this week, but the man in charge of for- est fires here says 6-7 inches of rain could relieve the area of danger for the majority of the summer. . "If we get that much and it soaks into the ground around these ' swamps and timber, we could be in good shape for a long time," sur- .mised Steve Holman, area sup- ervisor for the Suwannee District of the Florida Division of Forestry. Though rainfall in the area at 10.5 inches so far.this year lagged behind normal by 8 inches, DOF . stopped short this month of ordering a burn ban similar to the one man- Deputy co spotter plane dated in Union and Bradford coun- ties to the south.

The US Forest Service dispatched crews from as far away as Puerto Rico to battle that fire on a limited basis because most of it was in an area protected by the government. Mechanized vehi- cles are banned from the area, so agencies sur- round it and starve it of ground fuel (brush and undergrowth) once it reaches a perimeter. The government several years ago abandoned then-traditional methods of controlling wildfires burning off underbrush on a regular and con- trolled basis. Protected areas of the Osceola now are left essentially alone for the elements to take their course, and often during hot, dry summer months that means lighting ignition and hope for the best. Baker County-based DOF crews also were dis- patched to help out with wildfires that raged across Volusia and Brevard counties in recent weeks. Those areas are also hoping for helpful precipitation from Alberto this week. The decision earlier to hold off on a burn ban is based largely on a drought index of varying factors. Baker County's was 609 at the begin- ning of this week; 800 is the maximum. /a t, ta r Feds arrest local Border Patrol agent for The federal government last week charged In an twist dripping with irony, the govern- na purchase the evening of December 10, a Border Patrol agent who lives in Macclenny ment alleges the co-conspirator who arranged 2005 over a period of less than one week, with selling three pounds of marijuana out of for Mr. Henderson to sell to a confidential according to the 30 page criminal complaint the rear door of his government-issued SUV. informant from Suwannee County is himself and affidavit used by the government to get Tony [Hollywood] Henderson, 45, was released on $20,000 bond after a first appear- ance before a federal magistrate in Jacksonville on June 9, the day following his arrest.

The story was also submitted at the state level writing contest sponsored by the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs. Cameron, age 11, again won for his grade category. Cameron's story tells the tale of Alex, Arian and Tor, three young heros who brave entering a dark cave with bows, arrows and rock swords to slay a legendary dragon and protect their home, the village of Varrock.

Mr. Darabi confirmed there would be cost savings, especially given the rising cost of fuel. Of the three categories of pro- jects, resurfacing work on 13. streets would cost the most at 5522.000. Repairing and replacing pavement on four streets would cost $152,532 while new pave-. ment construction on two streets would run $40,700. The most expensive project would be the repair and replace-. ment of pavement on about nine- tenths of a mile on West Boulevard,. which would cost an estimated $90,250. , Next would be resurfacing .about a mile of North Boule ard for $83,430. Resurfacing about three-quar- ters of a mile on both Miltondale and Florida avenues would cost, nearly $66,000 each. Also at Tuesday's meeting, commissioners were updated on discussions with the Northeast Florida State Hospital about the city taking over the water treat- ment plant there. . Mr. Darabi said the city approached NEFSH officials with the idea, which would allow a tie- in to the NMacclenny II plant and pave the way for the city's plan to .have a utilities loop that runs down SR 121 and across to SR 228.

The city will ask DOT to place signs prohibiting truckers from turning left onto Fifth or Si\th streets to access 1-10 westbound. The intersections are tight and the turns are disrupting traffic there. Most of the trucks are coming from the Wal-Mart Distribution Center. Truckers will be directed to fol- low US 90 to the Sanderson inter- change. The city, however, will have no enforcement power, as it cannot legally ban the trucks from making the turns.

"We'll proba- bly get a lot of rain and some wind. By the time it reaches us, it will probably be nothing more, than a nor'easter." I've been on the beach in a nor'easter and actually prefer the grey, blustery days on the ocean to the bright and sunny ones. I'm not a complete idiot. If this were a real hurricane heading our, way, I'd be out of here and headed inland in a minute. Thankfully, I've been through precious few hurricanes and tropical storms.' The first was Dora. We hadjust moved to the area from New York and spending a few months in Ft. Lauderdale. We were living in a little house in Lake City at the time, and I remember watching George Winterling on a 15" black and %% white Motorola TV. That was 1964. Even then my mother trusted George Winterling. In her estima- tion, if George said it, it had to be true. Years later, when I got a mas- the party.. Through this, we never once complained to the school board. People would ask me where I lived, and I'd proudly proclaim that we are next to the school board building. I am sorry to say this is no longer true. I do not know what solutions exist for the present traffic problems, and yes, they are definitely prob- lems. One would think they were addressed long be- fore the new Kindergarten-Pre-K center was ever started, and not after the buildings were completed. It is understandable that there are minor prob- lems with new'facilities, but what we are now living with in this neighborhood are not minor problems. The fences erected around out properties are only a, "band aid" and certainly not solutions. I am a. peace-loving person who only wants my neighborhood back. YVONNE HART Macclenny ter's degree in communications studies from Baylor I learned why. People watching television devel- op what's called Ties of Union with certain people. George Winterling is one of those people. Walter Cronkite and later Dan Rather were others. Channel 4's Tom Wills and Deb- orah Gianolis were certainly in that category. But George was the man. "I just don't like what that surfer boy Tim Deegan says," my mother once commented. "I trust George." I think her trust of George (notice that I'm on a first name basis here) started during Hur- ricane Dora. We were still what my wife would call Yankees at that point and had never been in the way of a direct hit from a hur- ricane. The idea did not appeal to us. My mother and father did what- ever George told them to do. The\ stocked up on canned food and batteries. They filled the bathtub with water and they hand plenty of candles on hand. Our big boxer, Duke, who hated - and I mean, hated storms, got to stay inside the house. This was a good thing for Duke because bad weather made him nuts. He was a huge dog, but shook and tried to crawl under the couch when a bad storm came. During one awful thunderstorm some \ ears later, he literally broke out the front door and disappeared into the woods behind our'house,. aer to be seen again. We couldn't predict that, of course, but the big guy came inside with us. We had no idea what to expect. We lived by some woods and were worried about trees and tree branches. Our rental house wasn't the sturdiest thing around and so we also worried about wind damage., We hunkered down and stayed awake most of the night. It was very windy. You could hear it blow and howl and things bang up against the house. My sister and I took turns trying to comfort the dog, which was probably my mother's way of keeping us calm. I don't recall that it was too dra- matic, and if my memory serves, when the eye of the storm passed over us the next morning, we went out into the grey light to survey the damage. There were some big branches down in the yard we picked up and moved to one side, but other than that, all was pretty calm. We went inside after about 20 minutes when the weather started to pick up again, but the other side of the storm wasn't nearly as bad. After it was over, George had got- ten us through it alright. From then on, we were loyal followers. I watched George tonight to help me make decision about weather to go or stay here at the beach. George seemed to think it would be okay so we stayed. I feel pretty comfortable with our decision. After all, if George says it, it must be true. ..... ... Your o p" n" o n uuu -.,-- .... ... .... .... - * *.. -*- U',* '. *- C* ,'..': > "*".'i.. .'..

"Copyrighted Material SSyndicated Content. - Available from Commercial News Providers" Wants her neighborhood back Dear Editor: Let me begin by saying I support Danny Lamb one-hundred percent in his efforts to find a solution to the traffic problems we encounter in our south Macclenny neighborhood. .I have lived in this neighborhood 52 years, and when we built our home there was nothing but woods between our property and the school. Macclenny Elementary was built first, then the. superintendent's office. We have always had school traffic, but nothing of this magnitude. Our children were in school and my husband and I both worked, so the traffic was something that could be tolerated. Our home was not air condi- tioned back then so we slept with the windows open. The parking lot of the superintendent's office was a popular spot for local party animals. Their parties began around 3:00 am and one could tolerate the loud music and carousing for just so long. I could always call the sheriff's department and they would show up in a few minutes to break up by citizens wno teit intimici.ateci by THE BAKER COUNT' PRESS Thursday June 15 2006 Page Four Homeowner shoots at, misses fleeing robber BY _MICIAEL RINKER Pr(_ Staff A Ilacclenn, teen was arrested for armed robberN after he entered a home on %kest Railroad Avenue. -tole $140 at gunpoint and fled through the neighborhood as the 70- ,.car-old homeowner gave chase. blasting \\aj wCith his o\n gun.

Several neighbors, w ho refused to identify themselves. approached deputies and said they'd seen "Benji" running w ith something that looked like an air gun.

In the past, students have had a )choice of books to read, but many chose not to read at all. This year, all students will be tested within two weeks of school starting in August.

"You hear people say they've always dreamed of doing certain things," says 18-year-old Caytlin, who lives in Macclenny. "I'm lucky in that I've been able to make my.dream happen." Like many girls in the area, Caytlin was taught at a young age by former twirler Sherrie Rauler'son, principal of the PreK- Kindergarten Center. The years that followed were filled with lessons, competitions and performances under the tute- lage of June Stoeber, who coaches the University of Florida Gatorette Squad. Commuting to Gainesville sev- eral times a week became a way of life. Caytlin worked and worked and worked, the dream of one day being a Gatorette always present in her mind. Learning a baton technique can involve hours of practice, tossing the baton hundreds and hundreds of times until the movement becomes natural and the timing, synchronized and automatic. Having the ability to master movements such as splits,, cart- wheels and walkovers (a hand- stand/flip) combined with tossing and catching a baton is a given. "Most people don't understand what's involved in this activity. It's very physical and you can get pret- ty banged up," says Caytlin. "I'\ e had my share of bruises been hit in the face by falling batons and once broke my toe. I've been a cheerleader too, and twirling is much more demanding physical- ly." . During the(2005-06 school year when Ca tlin as a senior she as 'head majorette for the Baker High Wildcats, an experience she be- lieves was integral to her prepara- tions for the event she had been working toward for so long the Gatorette audition. "There was so much responsi- bility for the younger .girls on the team and I had to help design the performance routines of the twirling team for every halftime show," said Caytlin. "It was pretty demanding." For the past two years, Caytlin has participated in America's Youth On Parade at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. AYOP brings together the best baton twirlers, teams and corps under one umbrella for a series of national and % orld open championship con- tests. Caytlin's first experience com- peting at the, AYOP was also the first time she 'had traveled away from home by herself. "I was so nervous for my child," said Cath,. Ca tlin's supportive mother. "She'd never been away from me and never flown on a plane before either. When the phone rang and I heard my daugh- ter's hysterical voice on the line, I thought something awful had hap- pened." It was Caytlin's amazement and excitement that her mother heard across the miles. Caytlin had man- aged to perform a no-drop solo routine, something very unusual even for very seasoned competi- tors. "Almost. everyone has at least one drop during a routine," says Caytlin, "That's just normal. But I performed my routine without a single drop. I couldn't believe it." This year, Caytlin and her team- mates placed in the top ten in the *AYOP competitions. The Gatorette auditions were held early .last month and Caytlin was among the 16 girls competing for the coveted few vacancies.

The 2-3 minute dance-ti\irl rou- tines are customized 'by each twirler and performed to her choice of music, but must display the suc- cessful execution of required baton tricks which use more than one baton. For her twirl-dance per- formance, Caitlin 'chose a song from the the musical score of the broadway play Rent. The seven required elements of the Gatorette audition are: 3-turn or higher toss/catch Toss illusion (no-hands mid-air cartwheel) Toss reverse illusion High toss cartis heel and or high toss walkover Split right and.or left 2-baton trick 3-baton trick Then the applicants are judged on their timifig and ability to stay in step with music as they perform a -high-step march to the Gator fight son g Orange and Blue. All the hard work and holding faithfully' onto her childhood dream paid off. Ca.tlin aced her audition and is now anh official . member of the 2006-07 Florida University Gatorettes. "I'm very proud of this girl," says Caytlin's mother. "She's the first one of her twirling team to ever try out for the Gatorettes. And she got it!"

Developing dynamic reading programs for all children in Baker County is her ultimate goal. Ms. Nauman, a Children's Outreach Assistant at the Emily Taber Library has developed a. vivacious reading program called Arts Alive!, which is targeted toward children ages 4 -10. Arts Alive! which runs through June 29th is a reading participation program held :Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Macclenny Woman's Club on Fifth Street across from the library from 10:00 am- to, 11:00 am. The pro- grams are free to all children in the community. Arts Alive! has rapidly grown in popularity due to Ms. Nauman's arts and theatre' background and her natural ability to connect with a youngg audience. "Reading and the arts go hand in hand," says the energetic Nauman. "It's been proven in study after study that young children exposed to some sort of arts program in school featuring music, art, writ- ing, or theatre do much better in all subjects, including math and sci- ence," she says. "Combine an arts program with reading and you give children an invaluable experience." Ms. Nauman, a native of Peoria, Illinois, started and managed her own theatre arts program called The Children's Performing Com- pany. She has also worked for the Georgia school system as a drama 'specialist and been involved with children's music programming. The Arts Alive! reading series features many classic children's books such as Clifford the Big Red Dog, i-tere The Wild Things Are and The Cow that Went Oink,. all stories that lend themselves to cre- ative dramatic interpretation,.par-, ticipation and self-expression. The The jtoni of C hflt rd The Bi t:Red Dot! come s to lilt a'S I r[- .4It 'he 'h r T \ ai, nan entertains children atil/ic tti'ren's- Club Tih'free pni.Izriim iS spomiored b he iEpnili% Taber Librari for children ii aLs'4- .10iand iinke',place .at' 161 Oilinn liiesd1a% and T/ndr,r* l mornig.s through .June 2ilth stories are presented in such a \ a\y that children ha\e lots of opportu- nities for interaction. Manners and consideration are stressed, too, especially listening, during the program. . To get the excited children's attention, Ms. Nauman pulls out a horn and toots on it loudl\. "Now boss and girls, I need your ears for a while," she. says. "OK, everyone take off your ears and throw them to me!" The children pretend to unscrew their, ears and toss them to Ms. Nauman, who jumps back and forth catching them. "I'll give them back after the program," she tells the children, who think this hilarious. "Now don't forget and go home without your ears, 'cause you'll look really funny!" she laughs., It's easy to see why the program is successful. Ms. Nauman is hav- ing as much fun as the kids. The Emil) Taber Library will sponsor additional reading pro- grams with Ms. Nauman in the library's children's room featuring such topics as space exploration, good manners, insects and more. These programs '\aill start Jul\ 12th. Look for a % isit from Smokey The Bear at the end of July. For more information call Terry Nauman at 259-6464. As soon as the recorded message begins dial 23.

Kendall Hand drives this ball to the wall for a triple to go with his two home runs in the Cats'June 8 summer-league win over Ed White. Cats' summer team wins two BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Sports It's been a month since the Baker High Wildcats won their dis- trict baseball championship, but members of the team. continue to play well and get noticed. The Cats' summer league team won both games it played this week, beating Bolles 2-1 and shut- ting out Ed White 32-0. (BCHS coach John Staples said the Jack- sonville school sent its B team, which would be composed of mostly junior varsity players.) Against the Bulldogs, Kellh Da\ is tossed afour-hitter and hit a solo shot in the seventh. Klate Duval dro e in the win- ning run with a bases-loaded sin- gle. , "Davis did a good job of shutting Bolles doM\ n," Staples said in a state- ment. "Offensively. een though I know it's the summer and we don't practice too much, we were not very effective.... "We can't continue to play down to lesser programs than ours, no matter what the season." The coach said his team plays tw% ice a week and practices only on those days, prior to the games, Some of his gu s. hov.e\xer, pla\ in other pTices" - Against Ed White, Thursday at the Baker. High field, Bobby Dugard gave up just two hits in five innings before wielding to Tra\is Tyson,w v ho pitched the final inning. Kendall Hand had two homers and a triple to lead the Cats' 34-hit performance. SObviousl\ Ed White didn't sent their best team, but I still liked our hitting approach." Staples said. S"We made some nice adjustments at the plate and Kendall really put on a show\. The summer league runs for about another month. Off the field.

He is only the second player ever from Baker County to be cho- sen to the team. The other is BCHS assistant coach Dale Johnson. S"This is as big an honor as high school baseball gets," said Staples, who was on the Team Florida staff last year. "Matty deserves this and will be, an asset to Team Florida because of his versatility." Last year, Roger Clemens' son played for Team Texas.

Qne SA few months ago I had a home- owner in i the area tell me he did not wish toQ hire me to sell his Jared Wilkerson, Realtor home. I cried a little, then wiped my, nose and asked a rather silly question: "Why not?" "Because we know this place is gonna sell itself," he replied. Well, I'd feel kinda dumb if I now had to tell every- one that the home had sold already. Besides, that would ruin the whole premise for this article. Last I checked, they were still trying to sell it by owner. I'm not happy that it hasn't sold after all this time. I kinda knew they'd: have a bit,of trouble with it when I walked out of the house that evening. Inefact, I even went so far as to tell them so. But TI'm a pretty decent guy over- all and I don't get a kick out of saying "I told ya so." To be honest, I really can't say for sure why it hasn't sold. It's a fantastic house, in a great neighborhood with relatively .high traffic and they've spent a small for- tune on advertising., Well, they're not alone. There are' several good homes on the market right' now that are having a tough time trying to find the right buyers. There's no doubt about it, the market has slowed down a bit and some of these problems selling can be attributed to that. Overall, however, home sales are still moving along at a pretty fair pace. So, when they aren't selling, there are a few things that deserve a closer look. For the most part, the usual suspects when a home doesn't sell are marketing, condition, and the kingpin of crime himself, price. An ineffective marketing plan, whether from lack of gest obstacle a homeowner can face. Owners trying to sell on their own are not the only ones that run into this prob- lem. Last year alone there were 76 homes in Baker County being marketed by local real estate agents and they didn't sell either. We call these "expired listings."- Basically, the homeowners ni.. thin~ir +>i t UL IIII LI rustL in someone and most like- ly figured that since a profes- sionalwas han- dling it, it was pretty much * a done deal. Apparently for 76 house- * holds, it wasn't. " The market- ing plan has to include several -j,, - activities, such | J as local adver- tising, internet exposure, fly- ers, Multiple Listing Service (for REALTOR homes), open houses, mail-outs to nearby neighborhoods, target mar- keting (to the demographic that will most likely purchase the home; either renters or home's current value), show- ing appointments, feedback from buyers who viewed the home but still decided not to buy it and, of course, stick- ing a sign in the front yard. Try to keep in mind that there is no successful com- pany (well, at least none I can think of) that only adver-, tises its products through one medium and leaves it nt -h nit Thi, aL LI IaL. I I 1C strong com- panies all hit consumers with TV, radio, magazines, coupon deals a doutth ,n reason oreU.ae .1S and junk ,mail. Selling a home is the same thing. Just doing one or two of- the activities. above will only make buyers ,pay attention for a split second, then they'll forget all about it. The second culprit, condi- repair, they still won't buy it regardless of how excited they were to see it. If they do decide to make an offer any- way, they certainly won't pay a decent price for it, even if the repairs are simply cosmetic in nature. This is especially true if, despite its poor showing condition, the home is still being marketed at top dollar for the area. Homes for sale should ideally be freshly painted. inside and out. They should be free of clutter and unnec- essary furniture. Believe it or not, the way that the home smells makes a world of difference to buyers, too. I've seen buyers and even agents walk about five feet into a home, get a good whiff of the family dog and turn right back around and get in the car. It may seem a bit trivial, since smell is a problem easily fixed, but if they can't stand to be in the home long enough to fall in love with it, they aren't gonna be buying it, either. On the opposite end of the condition spectrum, just tion, is an aspect of the sale having a home that is in pris- that only the seller can con- tine shape doesn't give the trol. If the marketing gets seller license to go wild on 40 groups of buyers to show the asking price, either. Investors e- is fresh, new, and crisp and the other looks like it has been dragged through the mud and then hung up to dry. If I held them out and asked you which one you'd like, you'd probably want 'the newer-looking one. But would you be willing to pay a lot more for it just because it looked better? Probably not. It's still worth a hundred dol- lars regardless of its condi- tion. So, for the most part, condition is more of a sell- ing feature than a huge price determinant, which leads me to pricing. Without a doubt, the number one reason that homes have trouble sell- ing is because the sellers, whether influenced by a real estate agent or not, are sim-, ply asking too much money for the home. There's an old joke that the three most important things forthe salability of real estate are location, location, location. I called that a joke because the truth is that the most important factors are price, price, price. It doesn't matter if the home is right in the middle of a nuclear test- ing site, if it's priced right, some guy with three eyes and a five-legged dog will come along and buy it. If you've been trying to sell your home for some time and truly feel that the marketing plan being used is a good one, then it may be time to rethink your assessment of local market values.

George Knabb Jr. said Monday checks were cut June 9 and forwarded to the Jacksonville real estate agent who'd been working with the 17 to 19 investors from the Maryland area. "We worked out a number that was'fair to everyone," he said. Each had put down $2500 deposits on townhomes planned for the Cypress Pointe development off US 90 just east of Macclenny. The project, however, ran into trouble. "There were severe engi- neering problems that set us back," Knabb said. "I tried to explain to then that it was just a delay, but they ran out of patience. I can't blame them for that because it had been about a year." He wouldn't identify the engi- neering company, but said a new one has been hired. Meanwhile, William, Walton Jr., a Jacksonville businessman who had invested in the project, bought out Knabb, who said he now has limited involvement. He also said Walton offered the Maryland group "pretty good discounts" off the town- homes if they wanted to stick with it. Pre-construction prices w ere $109,000 to $122,000 This country home has a Iwo-slory family room, a two-car garage, and a second-floor bonus room The large master suite is located on the first floor, while the second floor has a balcony and three additional bedrooms.

Wit hout THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday June 15 2006 Page Two-B Investors refunded money on townhomes (From Page 1) ere $109,000 to $122,000 when the investors signed con- tracts, according to David Kull, a spokesman for the group. He speculated, however, the value' has greatly increased. City officials, say revised plans for the project have been submitted and are- being reviewed. : : Knabb predicted construc- tion could start in about four months. Under a deal with the city, building permits will be issued for four units before a turn lane' must be built on US 90 into the development, which is already well populated with single-fam- ily homes. :. : 0 . The City of Macclenny has asked Lamar Fish to move his welding business from its loca- tion on US 90 next to the fire department. City manager Gerald Dopsoh raised the issue at a meeting of the downtown revitalization committee June 12.. He said no official request has been made, but he may ask the city commission to set a deadline, perhaps by the end of the year. One possibility for the city- owned land would be a park highlighted by a beautiful old oak tree near the back of the tract. However, a suggestion raised at the meeting would be for office space adjacent to the property so that it would gener- ate revenue from leasing and Staxes.. The idea of the city reclaim- ing the land has long been considered and is "inevitable." .according to Manager Dopson; -, who said that-while Mr. Fish has done well to keep the front clear, it's the type of business that leads to unsightly accumu- lation of equipment. With the revitalization move- ment on the south side of US' 90, and the expected office space planned for the former Blue Haven restaurant, the city will be looking to improve the north side of the highway. Mr. Fish and others received a flyer from car dealer Danny Lamb calling for the building to be razed and,the property. X<(S((S~tiS((<(NSN cleared for the Macclenny train depot to be relocated there. The depot, which had been downtown, was moved to Heri- tage Park on Lowder Street. Although Lamb is a member of the revitalization committee, The Ideal Realtor Rose M.

What sellers must realize, though, is that an agent may seem to be quite competent 'when they give you a good -asking price to use for your home, but most of the time that price will only be useful if you actually hire the agent to market the property. Unfortunately for sell- ers wanting to sell on their own, the cards are stacked against them when it comes to competing with homes that are actually on the mar- ket with agents. We're steal- ing a lot of your exposure to buyers by working with them at no cost out of their pock- ets. They know that if they try to buy directly from an owner, they won't have the advantages of professional representation. Therefore, most 'buy- ers, (roughly 79 percent, according to the National Association of Realtors 2005 market survey) will stick to what's listed if they intend to purchase a used home. Another 12 percent will purchase new construc- tion. This limits a lone sell- er's exposure, thereby low- ering demand and thus low- ering offers. That's why owners who have a plan to speak with an agent only to get a little free priding advice often find that their plan backfired on them. The natural instinct is to later assume that the agent just didn't know what her or she was talking about. However, the truth is that sellers are unfortunately often unaware of what they're getting them- selves into. Before placing a home on the market for sale, whether by owner or hiring an agent, take a good, objective look around the house. Try to find things that buyers might look down on and fix them. Plan out a timeline for marketing activities which allows the. highest number of people nnssihle to all find out about THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday June 15 2006 Page Three -B the home at the same time. Then, make certain that the price is based on actual recent sold prices for the neighborhood. Most people don't just one day get bored and say, "Honey, what do say we put the house on the market for the next six months? It'll be a hoot!"
