To re-visit


insurance


consultant


appointing

The Macclenny City Commis-
sion will likely re-visit its decision *
last week to appoint local insurance
agent Jack Baker as the exclusive
representative for Blue Cross Blue
Shield in future deliberations over
employee health care benefits.
Tim Owen. of the city's insur-
ance consultant firm Ow'en and
Associates of Jacksonville, has
asked for an agenda slot August 8
to suggest the board may be vio-
lating state statutes w ith the Baker
appointment.
In a parallel development, the
county commission decided on
Tuesday of this week to schedule
a workshop for August 21 on the
same subject.
Mr. Baker, a local Farm Bureau
agency manager, requested the de-
signation approved during a spe-
cial meeting the evening of July
25.
Mr. Owen had been expected
at the meeting also. but cancelled
due to a family emergency.
Mr. Baker approached the city
a year ago seeking Nlacclenny's
blessing as the sole consultant for
Blue Cross. Recognizing a long-
held policy that local vendors
be given preference when fea-
appr.'ed "e req ues. ,. .
aC'Isultant Or'en, who con-
tracts, also with Baker County on
health policy matters, says that'
compromises Mr. Baker, and in
effect makes it a requirement that
a consultant live in Baker County.
"If Jack represents Blue Cross.
can he be unbiased when he pres-
ents a quote for health insurance?"
asked Mr. Owen.
"We're not against Jack, but we
don't think the city can make it a
requirement that a person acting
as a consultant be local.
"If that's a special requirement
for the job. it isn't unbiased on the
part of the citl." concluded Mr.
Owen. whose firm represents both
private and public entities in five
states.
City manager Gerald Dopson
said he is aware the consultant
feels he might be losing "a com-
petitive edge" b. conceding the
Blue Cross proposals to-Mr. Baker,
and told the board during the half-
hour meeting that evening the lat-
ter merits consideration because
he is based in Baker County.
Mr Owen. in fact. secured
the present coverage for 42 city
employees %with Aetna. The con-
tracts are normally bid annually.
and the Owen firm has handled
negotiations for several years.
Mr. Dopson said the Aetna
package "\as deemed overall the
best of several, despite the fact that
it and others are as of this month
not accepted by Fraser Hospital
for emergency services.
"My point is is this the best
way?" stated Mr. Owen. "When
an entity like the cit\ sends out
requests for proposals, it must by
law send out one set of specifica-
tions (for co\eraget. Does having
multiple agents equal having mul-
tiple specifications?"
Mr. Baker, who was at Tuesday's
county meeting, asserted no laws
are violated by the single consul-
tant status.
S"The only thine l'xe asked to
do is bring you a quote from Blue
Cross," he said. adding that all car-
riers have vary ing specifications.

He said Ms. Smith also had a pistol,

It was the second time in two weeks the

Joseph Jordan, a violent fugitive wanted
in at least two states, was holed-up inside

which had no window.
In response, Ms. Smith apparently
grabbed the shotgun and retreated to the
bathroom, stuffing towels under the door to
prevent the gas from coming in.
She sat on the toilet with the gun pointed
at the door.
Led by deputies Scotty Rhoden and Mi-
chael Crews, the SRT went room-bN-room
in Ms. Smith's mobile home until they
reached the bathroom.
Deputy Rhoden, a drug investigator,
went through the door first, holding a four-
foot-long metal shield in front of him.

County manager s


pay package settled at


$82,280 with perks

County officials negotiated a base pay and benefits package worth
$82,280 during talks last week with the new ly hired county manager.
Joseph Cone requested and received a $5000 auto allowance atop his
$75,000 annual salary. and the county will kick in an additional $2280 as
his share of a medical insurance plan held by his wife, a registered nurse.
Mr. Cone, 59, thus \ ill not be added to the Humana plan subscribed
to by other county employees.
A day after he was chosen from among three finalists for the posi-
tion that has been vacant since last November. Mr. Cone conferred with
county attorney Terry Brown of Starke and Alex Robinson, chairman of
the county commission.
As of Tuesday this week, Mr. Cone had yet to return a signed copy of
the contract. He left last week on a previously planned vacation.
Copies of the contract were distributed to commissioners during the
board's regularly scheduled meeting this week. and Mr. Brown advised
them to look it over for revisions and a final discussion before accep-
tance.
The commission earlier indicated it wanted Mr. Cone on the job in
early August before budget deliberations begin.
He was hired during a special meeting July 24 on a 3-2 commission
vote.
Other key contract elements:
A six month probationary period.
Severance pay equal to six months salary if he is dismissed after the
probation. Dismissal for cause negates severance pay.
A $50 monthly allowance for a personal cellular telephone. Ironi-
cally, it was misuse of the counts's phone that led to the firing of his
predecessor Jason Griffis in late 2005.
Mr. Cone resigned in June as city manager in neighboring Lake City.
a job he had held for ten years.
His resume includes positions in administration and planning in
Marion County and the city of Ocala, jobs the majority of the board felt
beneficial here due to present and anticipated growth, both commercial
and residential.
The contract also contains a provision that Mr. Cone move to Baker
County within six months.

This would be an excellent time
to declare a brief moratorium on
permitting of new commercial sig-
nage, both countywide and in the
City of Macclenny.
The focus should be fine-tun-
ing the rather detailed ordinance
already in effect in the city, and
putting some teeth into one regulat-
ing commercial signs in the county.
The coming explosion of com-
mercial development at Interstate
10 and SR 228 is still in its infancy,
and the target zone involves acre-
age both in and outside Macclenny.
But already the sign requests are.
coming in: the Wa I Mart Super-
center and its adjoining Nlurph's
gas mart, possibly a chain restau-
rant on a nearbN out-parcel, and
more recently, the request from
Walgreens for a second sign near
228 and CR 23A.
The citN turned that one down
because the sign w\as located off
Walgreen property, so the chain is
purchasing land from the county
and intends to go with the off-site
plan.
The count 's planning and zon-
ing office, with a new\ director start-
ing this week. can expect a flood of
similar requests the next two years.
It's important that signage be regu-
lated as to not create the eyesores
we have on South Sixth on both
sides of the interstate.
A mish-mash of styles. coloring,
height. lighting and other elements
have been allowed to collide on
that stretch, including the hideous
Scrawline message sign in front of
The fast-food icon recently com-
peted a refurbishing of its property

, Macclenny is on the verge of
adopting a new zoning category
for the 228 corridor leading to the
interstate.
Based on a "limited access"
concept, it allows for four-laning
of 228 with "greenscape" space
between the road and commercial
development on both sides of the
road.
A re-vamped sign law fits in
nicely probably lower lying to
meet eye-levels of motorists or in
neat clusters where applicable for
uses like professional buildings
with multiple tenants.
Lighting and landscaping


INeCIy developed areas o I
Jacksonville's southside and north-
west Gainesville show the effect of
stringent yet effective-sign control.
The signs are there to guide you to
a destination, but they don't domi-
nate the landscape or distract you.
Signs are a necessary element of
an urban environment, but should
be kept to the most subtle presence
possible. Does that mean from time
to time you won't find a location
on the first try? Yes, but the pay off
in more pleasant surroundings is
well xorth it.
Planning and zoning depart-
ments realize there will always be.


ment.
Businesses generally want "big-
ger and more," and local govern-
ments should make it their business
to sensibly define those limits.
Fact is, most chain retailers have
several sign schemes to comply
with varying local laws, but in the
absence of limitations, they will
always go for the biggest ones.
Right now is the optimum time
for both the city and county to
fine tune sign (and accompanying
landscaping ) ordinances so tomor-

Glen doesn't in fiveyears look like
South Sixth in Macclenny today.

DESERT DIARY
MAJ.BOBBY HART

July 30,2006
FORT McCOY, Wisc.--One
thing about the Army is the pro-
cedures they come. up with usu-
ally work-despite what many of
us wearing, the green think or how
much we all complain about why
we have to do things a certain way.
For instance, we all questioned
why we had to go to Wisconsin to
train to go spend a year in the des-
ert. We've found out the last week
or so as the temperatures here have
been over 100 almost every day.
Of course, the high temperatures
here-usually in the mid 90's-is
lower than the low temperatures in
Iraq.
We get the weather every day
for Iraq and Kuwait. Iraq usually
ranges from the low to mid 120s
with the lows in the 90s. Kuwait is
usually a bit %warmer and quite a bit
windier.
Someone said the other day,
"Well at least you have a breeze."
The problem is if .the wind is
p not blowing, it feels like an oven
when you w alk outside. If the wind
is blowing, it feels like a convection
oven.
But to 'get back to the train-
ing. at the 3rd Medical Command
(MEDCOM) we have' more than
30 percent of our soldiers--almost
40 percent who are cross-leveled or
moved in from other units to fill in
the voids.
When we deployed with' the
143rd Transportation Command in
2003, we had two. I wrote then how
amazing it was to see how quickly
these guys fit into our unit.
It is even more amazing now to
see basically an entire platoon from
all over the country-California
to Delaware, Washington state to
Florida-meld into- an effective
working group.
The credit has to go to Army
training. We have manuals, regula-
tions and procedures for everything
we do.
We were doing live fire exercises
on convoys this week. This means
you drive down the road and see
targets pop up and you jump out of
your vehicle and start shooting.
Again, remember many of these
guys we've never laid eyes on, so
when you get out and see basically
a stranger-sometimes a teenager
who isn't even shaving yet-blaz-
ing away with an M-16 less than a
foot from your head, it can be a bit
unnerving.
You just have to do every thing
"by the numbers." We exit the vehi-
cle according to a set procedure,
start putting lead downrange, re-
enter the vehicle and then finally,
clear unused ammunition "by the
numbers."
There was a joke many years ago
that the Army even had a regulation
that instructed you how to urinate
"by the numbers," but it isn't fit for
a family publication.
The system does work. There
were 40 of us locked in a room this
week coming up with a restated
mission statement for what we'll
be doing once we get to Iraq. Each
person has his or her own piece of
the pie and most are pretty territo-
rial over that part of the mission.
What we used was the Military
Decision Making Process. We had
a mediator who opened up the regu-
lations, started reading definitions
and then went down the list until we
had the mission we wanted and one
that every one could agree on.
We're now stuck in two rooms
with the windows covered up and
have to work together to solve real-
world problems as they happen to
the group we're going to replace in
Iraq.
It looks like chaos, but each sec-
tion does its own thing and in the
end, things fall together-as long as
we do it by the numbers.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday August 3, 2006 Page 4


Pair swipes car after


owner just says no


A Macclenny couple was jailed the
morning of July 29 for stealing a 1989
Oldsmobile belonging to an acquain-
tance in whose north Macclenny resi-
dence they had been residing.
Brett Dotson and Kathy Harding,
both 36, were in the vehicle when it
was stopped by Depurty Brad Dough-
erty on Andrews St. in Glen St. Mary
about 9:00am,
The theft was reported earlier that
morning by owner Rebecca Conner,
who told police the couple asked her
the previous evening to borrow the car
to buy some crack cocaine.
She refused, and had earlier done so
when the couple asked her to drive to
buy drugs .
When Ms. Conner awoke the next
morning, the car was gone.
Mr. Dotson was also charged with
possession of the anti-anxiety drug
Xanax without a prescription. He ap-
parently attempted to conceal several
pills in the rear sear seat ofa patrol car that,
transported him and his girlfriend to
county jail.
Mr. Dotson also figured in an indi-
rect way in a case the previous day that
resulted in the arrest of Jeffrey Craw-
ford, 23, of Macclenny for trafficking
in stolen property.
iMr. Dotson and Ms. Harding were
guests at the 'residence of Marie Par-
rish on Reid Stafford Road about the
time $300 in jewelry went missing.
The property was traced to Duval .
Gun and Pawn in Macclenny where
it was allegedly pawned on July 20 by
Mr. Crawford for $15.
The suspect initially blamed the

Clerk stole $

or her kids
A store clerk caught stealing cash
and failing to ring up merchandise
confessed to the crime on July 26
/ and told police she stole the money
"'for her kids."
Pamela.McRae, 31, of Macclenny
was questioned by Deputy. John
Hardin shortly after he reviewed
a surveillance tape from the Citgo
store on South 6th and Hodges.
The tape furnished by manager
Tim Nunn reportedly shows Ms.
McRae, stuffing cash in her pocket
and not recording purchases on a
register.
In all, Mr. Nunn estimates she
took over $300. The police report
does not specify a time frame nor
the date of the video tape.
Ms. McRae, who is also listed
as a cook at Connie's Kitchen, is
charged with grand theft.
In another theft from a local
business, someone made off with an
estimated $600 in cash from a cabi-
net in Calendar's Deli overnight on
July28.
A person doing repairs inside the
locked building reported a broken
rear window that morning just after
9:00. The opening was too small for
someone to squeeze through, and a
rear door was found partially ajar.
Police say there is a suspect.


Cried over not

having license
A Jacksonville woman was ar-
rested July 28 for reckless driving
after a witness called police saying
there was an obviously intoxicated
woman at a convenience store try-
ing to put gas in her car.
Jennifer Dugger, 24, was pull-
ing out of Country Boy's in Glen
St. Mary heading south on CR 125
when Deputy Brad Dougherty ar-
rived at 9:46 am.
As he tried to catch up to her, he
saw her car weaving in and out of
her lane, then veer into the path of
an oncoming car as she crossed the
railroad tracks.
He stopped her at Andrews
Street.
Ms. Dugger began crying and
said she didn't have a license be-
cause it had been suspended.
A computer check revealed it had
been suspended six times, once for
being a habitual offender.
Unsteady on her feet and slurring
her words, she denied consuming
alcohol, but said she'd taken some


prescription medication.
In addition to reckless driving,
she was cited for driving with a
suspended license as an habitual of-
fender.


crime on Mr. Dotson, according to the
report by Deputy David Morgan.
In another theft case involving a ve-
hide, someone pried open a rear slid-
ing glass window to take a shotgun;
CB radio and more than $300 in cash,
and coins from a parked pickup over-
night on July 24.
April Conner told police she bor-
rowed the 1996Toyota from her father
and parked it the previous evening on
Dolphin St. in Sanderson.
She locked the vehicle, and discov-
ered the burglary the next morning.
The shotgun was stored behind the
bench seat, about $300 in cash in a
purse under the seat, a roll of quarters
in a coin slot and a cooler containing
beer was taken from the truck bed.
Ms.. Corner' estimated the loss at
$800

A Glen St. Mary woman was
arrested July 27 for possession of
drug paraphernalia just 20 minutes
after a deputy had cited her for not
having a valid license and warned
her not to be, driving.
Delene Ilano, 46, was stopped
at 8:13 am for running a stop sign
and failing to signal for a turn from
South Boulevard to Ninth Street.
Deputy John Hardin cited her for
driving with a suspended license,.
then warned her not to drive until
she got it back.
He also gave her a warning on
the traffic violations and for not

Nonetheless, he saw her behind.

Street. He followed her as she drove'
to \est Minnesota Street, where he

Intoxicated woman is

arrested despite heritage


S A woman wearing, a wig and
camouflage, and staggering along
SR 121 near Woodlawn Road after
midnight July 25 told a deputy not"
to be harassing her because she was
a "Cajun German from California."
Maureen White, 53, from Long
Beach, Calif., was arrested for dis-
orderly intoxication after being un-
able to tell Deputy Garrett Bennett
where she was.
She said she was on her way to
Miami from Louisiana and had had
S "just two beer," although a breath
test later measured her blood alco-
hol content at .23, nearly triple the
legal limit.


She also had prescription drugs,
including barbituates, in her blood.
When the officer confronted her
on the road and was able to get her
out of traffic, she yelled at him:
"Why don't you go arrest some
[black people] and quit harassing
me! I am a Cajun German from
California."
Later, while being examined at
Fraser Hospital, she cursed staff.
members and yelled out that she was
filing a lawsuit against the sheriff's
department and hospital for "beat-
ing" her.

No public input on the

tentative school budget


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
The Baker County School Board
approved without dissent a tenta-
tive fiscal 06-07 budget and millage
during a public hearing Monday,
July 31.
Final budget approval will be
voted on at the September 18 hear-
ing. .
No one from the public was pres-
,ent at the evening hearing.
The total district budget of $52
million for fiscal year 2006-07 \\as
proposed and initially approved by
the board earlier in July.
The current budget is $7.5 mil-
lion more than lasr year's budget of
$44.6 million. The local property
tax effort in revenues decreased
slightly from the current year be-
cause of new and re-assessed prop-
erty on the tax roll.
The school district receives rev-
enue from state, federal and local
sources. The 2006-07 revenues
from these sources are:

Knife versus

baseball bat
The sheriff's department filed a
battery charge against a Sanderson
man who hit another man in the
hand with a baseball bat July 25.
Tra\ is Roberts. 30, pulled up to a
home on Joan Street in Nlacclenny
around 4:30) pm to confront Hidies
Akins.
Mr. Akins told Deputy Brad
Dougherty the two had an ongoing
dispute. g ,r b t
Mr. Roberts grabbed the alu-
minum bat, jumped out.of his car
and challenged him using a racial
epithet and profanitN. Both men are
black.
Mr. Akins said he: pulled out a
pocket knife to protect himself.
Meanwhile, Dinitri Jefferson,
who lived at the residence, jumped
between the two men.
S Nonetheless, Mr. Travis swung
the bat, hitting Mr. 'Akins on the
hand, causing the knife to cut--Ms.
Jefferson. ,
Police were unable to locate
accused, whose listed address in
Sanderson is not valid.
Ms. Jefferson told Dep. Dough-
erty the fight was mutual and that
Mr. Travis shouldn't be charged.
The officer, however, filed the
charge with the state attorney.

Correction noted
An article in last week's edition
on candidates in the upcoming pri-
maries incorrectly listed the occu-
pation of Leroy Green, running for
the north county seat on the county
commission.
Mr. Green is a licensed life and
: health insurance broker.


$33.2 million state
S$2.6 million federal
$7.1 million local sources
The district's largest expense is
in the area of instructional services
totaling $19.2 million.
The tentative millage amounts
for fiscal year 2006-01 are:
Required local effort 5.001
Discretionary .510
Additional discretionary .250
Tentative capital

Mold

By fared Wilkerson
Real Estate Wrirer
The other day I was out show-
ing properties with one of my
investors when we pulled up to
a cute little vacant house on the
north side of Jacksonville. From
the outside, it looked to be about
parwith the
others we'd
seen so far,
but the nr
extremely
low price
on the -
in fo rma -
tion sheet
made it
look pretty
sweet on Jared Wilkerson. Realtor
paper.
As is the norm for seller's secu-
rity procedures. I had called the
day before to inform the listing
agent that we'd be stopping by.
While on the phone weith her,
she said. "Oh, and you may want
to wear a gas mask or something


The chuckle put me in a light-
'hearted mood,_so.J. just said, -
"That bad, huh?" To which she
responded in a much more seri-
ous tone, "You've no idea."
Never one to back do\vn from a
challenge, I kept the home on the
list and there we were the next day
going inside to take a closer look.
Immediately upon entering
the house. I felt like my lungs
were collapsing. No joke there.
Either there was no oxygen in this
structure and I actually couldn't
breathe, or my lungs had a mind
of their own and just knew better
than to do so.
The investor said something
like, "Ya know, I don't know if we
ought to stay in here very long:'
while breathing through her
sleeve and motioning around the
living room with her free hand.
However, being a man of very
* limited education and having an
overall "dumb as a box of rocks"
demeanor, I suggested we open
a few windows and let it air our
while we looked around the yard.
So we did.
When we came back, it wasn't
much better in there at all. But
we were able to move through
the house until we finally saws it.

en walls and on both bathroom
ceilings, as well as the master bed-

Obviously, that's the time to take

Awesome.
Mold's function in nature is to
break decaying matter down to its
simplest building blocks in order
to recycle it back into an eco-
system. It reproduces using tiny
microscopic spores that travel by
air at the whims of the wind. So,
when walking outside in a humid
environment, we are breathing in
mold spores whether we can smell
that faint mold' odor or not.
The only time that mold pres-
ents a health risk is when it is
producing compounds that have,
toxic properties, called mycotox-
ins. They occur when the mold
has just the right combinations of
temperature, pH and humidity.
The surface on which the mold is
growing also makes a difference in


Interestingly, while the mold is
alive, it is covered by a thin slimy
layer that prevents the spores from
escaping. It is only after the mold
dies and dries out that the spores
are released.
These spores continue to fly
around, both outside and indoors
in a dormant state until they land
on something moist, such as
condensation in a shower or the
inner walls,of your lungs. In the
case of just a few spores finding
their way into the human body,
most immune systems will lay the
smack, down and simply back-
hand the mold right back out of,
the body. In the shower stall on
the other hand, the spores will
take root and begin to spread and
reproduce to other damp areas of
the home.
In time, the mold will prog-
ress to a level at which it is visible.


requiring professional assistance.
I know what you're thinking.
Who on earth would allow a spot
of mold to grow that huge with-
out whippingout the Tilex some-
where along the lines?
The answer is someone who
can't see it. Part of mold's awesome
cosmic power is that it thrives in
humid areas with dim light. Most
ofthe time, the mold will be found
growing in the interiorofwalls on
the backside of drywall following
a homeowner's bout with water
damage or a leaky roof that has
gone undetected. Another com-
mon hidden mold area is on the
underside of wallpaper that has
been trapping cooking vapors for
years in a kitchen.
If you can't see t, it's tough to
fight it. In this situation, most
homeowners will begin to notice
that the children or older mem-


IBS (if you don't
know what that is,
it's nor my place
to tell ya here; just
consider your-
self lucky), con-
stant fatigue, new
food allergies,
headaches, and
of course nasal
and sinus conges-
tion. Prolonged
exposure to mold
spores has even
been linked to
memory impair-
ment.
If these symp-
toms persist in
otherwise nor-
mally healthy
individuals, mold
is probably the
cause and hom-
eowners should
begin testing for
it immediately.
There are two
main types of
tests that you can
do yourself and
both are relatively
cheap.
The first is a

Zaxby's is

coming to

Macclenny
BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Busint'e
NMacclenny officials have con-
firmed reports that a Zaxbv's res-
taurant is slated for a parcel of land
located on South Sixth Streer on the
north side of Interstate 10.
Specializing in chicken dishes,
Zaxby's is parr or the growing trend
of "fast casual" restaurants, which
bridge the gap between fast-food
and casual dining, according to
W\ikipedia, an online encyclopedia.
Fast-casual restaurants are similar
to fast-food restaurants in that they
do not offer full table service, but
promise a somewhat higher quality
of food and atmosphere.
A preliminary site plan has been
submitted to the city and the res-
taurant is seeking a permit from the
St. Johns River Water MNanagement
District.
The proposed 314-6-square-Foot
facility will sit on about 1.1 acres.
Reportedly the restaurant want-
ed an entrance onto South Sixth,
bur stare transportation officials
nixed that because it would have ex-
ited onto rhe on-ramp For 1-10 west-
bound.
Instead, the entrance will be on
George Hodges Road.
Zaxb\'s was established in Stares-
boro, Ga. in 1990 by childhood
friends Zach McLeroy and Tony
Townley.
The chain, which spans the South-
east United States, has approximate-
ly 350 restaurants, including several
in Jacksonville.
The menu features buffalo wings
and chicken fingers, along with sal-
ads such as The Blue, which is mixed
greens, red cabbage, carrots, roma
tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles,
fried onions, blackened chicken or
/ Buffalo Finmgerz with Texas toast.
There are also several chicken
sandwiches and desserts, including
cheesecake and key lime pie.

second is an air quality test kit,
which soaks up air particles from
any room in the house.
Both of these test kits can
be acquired for FREE at www.
homemoldtestkits.com (simple
enough) and conform to testing
guidelines set out by the EPA and
OSHA. The kits themselves are
free, but they get ya on the back
end by charging a few bucks for
shipping and then of course the
kit itself doesn't give a positive
or negative result there in your
home. It must be sent off to their
lab for analysis, but this fee is only
$20 per kit. That's cheaper than
another ENT doctor visit.
A word of caution: Although
these kits do conform to testing
guidelines, many professionals
claim they are not completely reli-
able, due mostly to the fact that
untrained people are collecting
the samples.
If mold is found to be pres-
ent, although not visible, the
absolute safest route to take is to
hire a professional. Here in the
Baker County area, technician
Chris Eddins of Dry Core Water
Damage Solutions provides the
type of thorough cleanup and dis-
posal required and can be reached
at 259-8929.
For times when the area is vis-
ible and falls within the 10 sq ft
section rule, it is usually safe to
handle the problem yourself. Just
remember to wear eye goggles
that do not have vent holes in the
sides, long sleeves accompanied
by gloves that go at least halfway
up the forearm, and a heavy-duty
respirator (such as the EPA sanc-
tioned N-95, $20 at a local hard-
iware store). while e you're clean-
;ing, you'll be6 releasing all of the
loose spores into your air supply.
That's why you need the make-
shift spacesuit.
Thoroughly clean the area with


simple detergent and a coarse
cloth until no more evidence of
mold is visible. Then allow the
surface to dry for at least 24 hours,
although 48 is recommended,
before resuming it normal use.
Caution: Some porous surfac-
es cannot be adequately cleaned.
The mold spores will simply hide
out in the small holes or, worse
yet, die from the detergent and
then release the spores upon dry-
ing out. Ceiling tiles, carpets and
other such expendable surfaces
will need to be replaced.
The most important step in
the clean-up process is to locate
the source of the moisture and
eliminate it. All is for naught if
this is not done.
In order to prevent future
outbreaks, there are certain steps
that should be taken on a regular
basis.


1. Be sure to clean and repair
roof gutters regularly. Clogs and
leaks are good areas for moisture
to collect and provide a habitat
for mold growth.
2. Keep air conditioning drip
pans clean and make sure that
drain lines remain unobstructed.
Once a mold growth migrates into
an HVAC system,'it will have to
be turned off and completely gut-
ted before its use can continue.
3. Keep indoor humidity low.
Set a dehumidifier to 50% or
below to squash potential mold
growth inside the home.
4. Turn on vent fans or crack
windows when showering.
Bathrooms are real trouble areas
for mold and will have to be treat-
ed regularly regardless of good
maintenance habits. However,
venting moisture to the outside
of the home when possible is

Rayonier selling a big chunk of land
for a DRI.
The county's Development Com-
mission had been trying to buy some


of the land east of Macclenny on US
90 for industrial development, but
the company "won't discuss selling,"
Ms. Barber said.
The commission's success in bring-
ing industry to the county is causing
its land holdings to dwindle.
With the Hansen RobfTile plant
now operating in Enterprise West,
there remains just a 6.9-acre parcel.
There is more space in Enterprise
East, including about 52" acres on
US 90 directly in front of the Wal
Mart Distribution Center. There are
also two other parcels 54 acres and
18 acres behind the DC. Much of
those parcels are wetlands, however.
Ms. Barber said two prospects
inquired about sites in Enterprise
East. She wouldn't name the com-
panies, but one, which is still active,
is a manufacturer looking to build a
200,000 square foot facility on 20
acres. Estimates are that it would
bring 100 high-wage jobs with it.
The other, which ended up select-
ing a site in Georgia, was planning a
500,000 square foot facility on 30
acres, with 1-5 to 200 employees.


Ms. Barber also said that Sander-
son Pipe, located in Enterprise West,
and the Wal-Mart DC, have gener-
ated 1010 jobs and $24.75 million
in payroll. Hansen is expected to add
81 jobs.
In addition, the DC paid
$825,560 in taxes last year, while.


Sanderson Pipe paid $122,81".
Hansen is projected to be paying
$122,542 in taxes next sear.
The Chamber of Commerce re-
cendly agreed ro three-year contracts
with both the county and city for
economic development services.
Each will pay $16,500 per year.
