THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS 13&40 'ONGE LIBRARY FLA HISTORY PO BOX 117007- UNIV FLA GAINESVILLE FL 32611 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. 6 89076 48819 8 Paid/circu/ition leaer l'"nner o /1 state anid national auar'dJfof journ a/inm excellence in 2006 Thursday August 3, 2006 Macclenny, Florida 500 Suicidal woman shot Olustee resident still critical a, standoffon Sunday BY NHCHAEL.

It was the second time in two weeks the sheriff's six-man special response team en- tered a mobile home to end a standoff. Joseph Jordan, a violent fugitive wanted in at least two states, was holed-up inside his uncle's Glen St. Mary residence July 17 for more than an hour before deputies went in to find him hiding in a kitchen cabinet. In both cases, SRT members entered the home after tear gas failed to flush either sus- pect. gas in every room but ohe the bathroom, 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. DISTANCE LEARNING: Bringing college classrooms to high school campus BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff A group of Health Science Ca- reer Academy students are cur- rently studying pharmacology in the first "distance education" lab recently established at Baker County High School. Students .... watch as the live image of Blanch Vanz- ant, a faculty member of the Department of: .. Allied Health at Lake Cit Com mmunit t College, lec- tures on the applications of pharmacolog B to the practice of nursing. W During the lecture, she asks the stu- dents ques- .. . tions and theN i answer via mi- crophones at- tached to their desks. Funded St s through a health career grant, the lab is connected to Lake City Com- munity College by a two-way viewing system that utilizes fiber optics and a satellite feed. The lab contains cameras, two plasma television screens and microphones to allow interactive conferencing. As the instructor lectures live from her classroom at LCCC, students at the high school question her via the microphones nitor the instructor and other classes via PHOTO BY on their desks. The distance lab's technol- ogy was designed and furnished by Visual Systems Group, Inc., %which specializes in video, voice and data conferencing products and services. The students from remote loca- tions can view each other, plus lis- ten to and respond to each other's comments. The greatest advantage, agree the Baker students, -. is the convenience .i 1 factor. Commuting to Lake City twice a week would be required to com- plete the course other ise. Another added advantage, accord- ing to the students, is the fact that they are also allowed to communicate per- sonally by e-mail with the instructor Students are re- quired to be pres- ent on the LCCC campus the first day of class for "orientation, to pick Lup class ma- terials and to go over the syllabus. screens.

Deputy Rhoden then raised his Glock .40 'caliber semi-automatic handgun over the curved top of the shield and began firing. After Sgt. Crew s regained his balance, he too began firing over the shield. The weapons, called "40s," are issued to all deputies, not just the SRT. They hold 15 rounds in the clip and one in the chamber. FDLE investigators confiscated the weapons, but have not yet said how many rounds were fired.

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.

JIM cIVGlAU LL I 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 at the comer of Barber Road, but the too-tall, awful sign detracts from n hat is other ise a very at- , 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- row on SR 228 and CR 125 into Glen doesn't in fiveyears look like South Sixth in Macclenny today.

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 DOFprogram The state is making forest land management assistance money available to non-industrial private landowners on a 75-25 cost-share basis.

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. MOLD!

So for me, brainpower minus 10, but 50 points for a strong immune sys- tem. 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 simple surface rest, involving lift tape that is applied directly to common mold areas, such as bathroom or kitchen walls. The 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. *0 '0* As one comes in, another goes out.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, August 3. 2006 Page Two-B Mold dangers at home (From Page 1) 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 New Development Special Unbelievable Savings of $20,000 SEDA Pays all closing costs*.

C, Macclenny Zaxby's coming to Macclenny... (From Page 1) doors about a month before its first anniversary in business. A sign posted last month in the window at its location on 11 West Macclenny Avenue said the business was 'for sale. Reportedly,, however, owner David Theus now is putting up the physical assets for auction. That leaves two coffee houses in Macclenny: Elliano's, a drive- through site on US 90 near the west city limits, and Calendars, located on Macclenny Avenue and College Street. Calendars also has a pizzeria adja- cent to the coffee house. During a presentation to county commissioners, Ginger Barber, ex- ecutive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said she anticipates 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. w, W k THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday.
