Reading in the Park BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff What's better than hotdogs, chips and drinks? Books, of course! Nearly 100 children and par- ents enjoyed books and lunch when they attended the Reading in the Park program held Sept. 16 at Glen St Mary's Celebration Park. Sponsored by the PreK/ Kindergarten Center, the two- hour program was held to pro- mote a love of reading animong Baker County children. "We wanted to give children a chance to see their teachers outside of a school setting and to help them view reading as a fun experience, not just something they do in the classroom." said PreK Center principal Sherrie, Raulerson. Small, brightly illustrated, paperback books w ith titles such as I Have a Friend. A Trip to the Zoo, and In The Garden were donated by the Wilmington Book Company. Volunteers Tony Esterling. a Navx recruiter and ArmN ser- geant Johnathan Preston donned their uniforms and delighted children by volunteering to read stories outloud. Twelve-year old Gage Preston. a student at NMacclenny Middle School \\as also a volunteer reader. Parents sat on benches and on blankets %\ith children gathered around listening to stories.

Glen hires new town attorney BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff Prior to and during its meet- ing Tuesday night, the Glen St. Nlar town council said hello to its new attorney and good-bye to its long-time maintenance man, who is retiring.

Both the county and the Eighth Circuit state attorney's office were awarded Communi- ty Issue Budget Request grants of $150,000. At a workshop Monday, county commissioners agreed to form a committee to develop "cohesive plan" after it became apparent they weren't on board with a request to spend $55,000 on a key card access system. County Judge Joey Williams said the system is "not anything novel... but, allows flexibility in programming for the public defender state attorney, clerk of court, judges and guardian ad li- tem... it controls access with all these differing needs." Led by chairman Alex Rob- inson, the commission seemed skeptical of the need for the con- trolled access system, especially with deputies already in place for security. County manager Joe Cone, also said the figure seems high. Commissioner Gordon Crews asked court officials to prioritize the need for the system. "It's not a 9-1-1 prior-. ity," Judge Williams replied. "If o u' e got better ideas, let's talk about them." Mr. Robinson said he'd fa- vor additional space at the courthouse in..order to-bring the county's constitutional officers together. Some are currently en- sconced in a building on Fifth Street north of US 90. Space at the courthouse is at a premium, due in large part to continued expansion by the state attorney's office. "'E\ er inch is occupied," said Clerk Al Fraser. There also. was talk about setting up video conferencing technology linking the court- house and the jail so that judges can conduct first appearances remotely. The technology also would connect different coun- ties within the judicial circuit. Judge Williams said court of- ficials put together their wish list "preliminaril.." and suggested all parties meet to "sketch out a long-term plan for this mone\." He said they would like to "hear from the county about what is on your mind." Mr. Robinson suggested that representatives from the judge, the state attorney's office, the clerk, and possible\ others, meet with Mr. Cone, who ill coordi- nate the committee. In other action at the work- shop, commissioners considered funding requests from three so- cial services agencies Baker County Community Mental Health Services ($126,694), Baker County Counseling Ser- vices ($80,000) and Clay and Baker-Kids Net ($12,000). The money .would have to come from the county's con-, tingency fund which is about $350,000 because the budget has already been advertised and can't be amended at this point. "Where were these numbers in August when we were. work- *ing on the' budget," Mr. Robin- son asked. Thke county board decided meet with BCCS representa- tives to see whether the agency can get by with less money, then determine how much the county can spare. Meanwhile, the commission (Page 6 please) BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Slifft Isaac Koenig had an experi- ence last month most people can only imagine. During a visit to Marineland south of St. Augustine, the 13 year-old Sanderson resident got to swim up close and personal with a dolphin. Isaac participated in one of the interactive programs being offered to visitors at The Dolphin Conservation Center of the newly refurbished Slarineland. Originally built to be an underwater tilm stage in 1938, Marineland became a w ildl% popular attrac- tion featuring trained, perform- ing dolphins that dazzled tourists for decades. Competition from attractions such as Sea World and dam- age from hur- ricanes forced Marineland to close in 2004. The facil- ity re-opened in 2006 with a new% look and a newe mission focused on research and education. Phy Ills Koenig, Isaac's grandmother, lived in Daytona Beach when she was a little girl and often encountered dolphins in the ocean near a sand bar where she and her uncles liked to sv. im. Over the \ ears Ms. Koenig told her grandson many stories of how the sea mammals would playfully steal her beach ball as she waded in the waist deep water or nudge her back toward shore when the current became swift. "You could look in their eyes and see the intelligence." she said. "It was as if they knew the water might be dangerous for a small child." Ms. Koenig also told her grandson about visiting Marineland in the early 1950s and watching a dolphin named Nellie perform tricks (unbeliev- ably, Nellie is still alive and well at Marineland today). Because of his enthusiasm and interest Ms. Koenig wanted Isaac to have an opportunity to be a participant in a dolphin-interac- tive program, so she made the arrangements, but kept it a secret. The surprised Isaac didn't know what was happening until they were on the road to St. Augustine. "I just love animals," says Isaac with a smile. "The most wonderful thing was learning so much about the dolphins from the trainers." The partici- pants underwent a training peri- od, learning how to approach and touch the dol- Twelve-year-old Isaac Koenig participates in a dolphin interactive program at the new Dolphin Conservation Center located at Marineland.

They learned hand sig- nals which would summon the dolphins to them or send them away. "Dolphins don't liked to. be touched on their ears, eyes, around, their jaws or near their blowholes," Isaac' explained. "But if you do it the right way, you can touch the end of their snouts and hold onto their fins. If you slap the water, that sig- nals them to approach you." Parents and visitors are not allowed in the dolphin encoun- ter area but watch from a seating arena behind a transparent barri- er. The participants are also pho- tographed with their dolphins in the shallow end of the tank. "The dolphins would dance with you, too," said Isaac. "They 'stand' themselves upright in front of you and you hold onto their front fins, and they move you around." When asked if he looks for- ward to another visit, he quickly says "you bet." Ms. Koenig is grateful that her grandson got so much out of his visit to the Dolphin Conservation Center. She views her early encounters with dol- phins as a near-spiritual experi- ence that put her in touch with nature in a unique way. "I was glad I could do that for Isaac, too," she said.

"I'll help guide you through the long and %winding road...." Also prior to the meeting, Glen officials held a small re- ception for Joe Raulerson, who is retiring after five and a half years as the town's maintenance man. (See page 10 for photo of Mr. Raulerson and his wife Pat at the reception.) "I've been real pleased to be here," he said during the meet- ing. "I really enjoyed my time here." Each of the town's officials thanked him for his service. Councilman Crews said. "'I haven't heard a citizen or mem- ber of this board have anything but good to say about you. "I don't want to express our Appreciation with just words or heartfelt testimony, but with something tangible." He then called for the council to gixe Mr. Raulerson a "going a%%ay gift or bonus." He recommended $500, and his colleagues agreed, appro%- ing his motion unanimously. "That wasn't necessary." Mr. Raulerson said. "But it's appre- ciated." In other action at the meeting. the council: Adopted the town's budget for the coming fiscal year. There \ere only a couple of minor changes in the final version. The plan calls for $272.710 in spending, but just $219.128 in revenue. The approximately $53.000 needed to balance the budget \\ill come from the town's re- serve fund of nearly $500.000. Spending under the cur- rent year budget, as amended. is $392.092. which included $70.000 related to utilities construction and payment of connection fees to the city of Nlacclenny. which leases sewer space to Glen. As part of the proposed bud- get, a maintenance yard will be built on tow n-owned property behind the post office on US 90. The cost is anticipated to be $25.000. The town will make its first payment $57.000 on its utili- ties loan. Officials froze the amounts the town gives to organizations such as the Council on Aging, the Emily Taber Library and the Chamber of Commerce. Adopted a resolution that the town's employees will par- ticipate in the state retirement system. Two Baker County women reported cases of credit card fraud and a third reported to the' sheriff's department recently her cards stolen along with a cell phone and wallet while she shopped at Wal-Mart. Mary Hodges of Glen St. Mary told police her VyStar credit card was likely stolen on September 7 at the Macclenny Waffle House. She reported four days later her account reflected it was used to pay nearly $1300 in cell phone charges. : Charlotte, Guernsey of Mac- clenny. reported, her account showed five unauthorized charges, all but one at local stores and gas stations between August 6-20. - Jacklyn Rewis of Middleburg reported her purse and contents \were taken from a shopping carn at Wal-Mart the morning of Sep- tember 17. She was in the chil- dren's department and briefly left the cart to retrieve a daughter. Ms. Re"wis told police two other women were nearby at the time and could have taken the items. In other reports, Kimberly SManning, 28, of MNlacclenny was arrested the evening of Septem- ber 12 for attempting to leave Winn-Dixie with seven cosmetic products valued at $32 in a bag that also contained a prescription she had paid for. A store manager stopped Ms. Manning just after 7:00 and she was unable to show a receipt for the items. Deputy Mark Hall also arrested her companion, 42-year- old Kevin Millington of Glen St. Mary, on a warrant from Clay County for failure to pay child support. Berle Bostic, a manager at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Mac- clenny, called police the after- noon of September 14 after $150 from her paycheck went miss- ing from a pay envelope. She noticed the missing cash as she returned to her office after a brief absence. Five employees at the store then, including one who had been under suspicion for a theft at nearby Hardee's, were ques- tioned by Deputy Brad Dough- erty and denied knowledge. The one worker agreed to and passed a voice stress analysis test at county jail that afternoon. qCircleQ uriture I. 1 v i n g R s w ~ * Kids, -ahwt i 4 t'fllA (t' e (k/h C1,09 lom~F h~S & ..

I assured them I would not write anything that would let the enemy know we're here. In ttuth, it's not like we're hiding. The base stretches for miles and has constant helicopter and con- Svpy traffic in and out. You can also look it up on the Internet and find out almost anything you want to know. My new home, Camp Victory, is on the outskirts of Baghdad, surrounded by some of the roughest neighborhoods-like Sadr City-in Iraq. It's not uncommon to hear gunfire com- ing from just beyond our bound- aries and we get rocked fairly regularly by sizeable explo- sions as our military operations continue to clear bad guys out of those rough neighborhoods. Another interesting item about the base is its proximity to another infamous Iraqi' land- mark, Abu Ghraib. Other than that, it's really pretty comfortable here. Even the temperature has been coop- erating, capping out about 110 each day. The mornings are pleasurable, if not a little nippy, at 80-85. In fact, given the option, I would say living is as good here as it is in Kuwait, better than Egypt, and dam close to Fort McCoy, Wis., or Fort Stewart, Ga. The military has set up a city that has a population compa- rable to that of Nassau County and is surrounded with 20-foot high concrete barriers. There are actually trees and a few small lakes.

MACCLENNY, FL The Al-Faw Palace is named for an Iraqi city that was taken over by the Iranians in the war between those countries.- Iraqi forces retook the city and Saddam built the huge palace on a man-made lake as a monu- ment to his nation's "victory" over Iran. * There are several other pal- "c"aes -around,-' including \one reportedly being built by Uday Hussein before his demise. It's quite impressive what has developed here in the past three years. Our little city uses more than 1.000,000 gallons of drink-. ing water a day and literally tons of ice. Most of our guys are living in small trailers that are divided into two or three compartments depending on rank. I'll eventu- ally share-one with one other person, \but for now I'm stuck in transient tents set up for new- comers or the people who are leaving. Affectionately known as "Whoville," the tents are divided into eight or ten small living areas big enough for a cot and cuple of dufflebaf.g "' 6You really couldn't ask for better food. We have almost any and everything one would want to eat four times a day. There's fast food, traditional American food, a pasta bar, a bar with nothing but Indian food, a sand- wich bar and my favorite, the ever-present ice cream bar with Baskins-Robbins flavors with every kind of topping imagin- able. Someone said the Army needs to make a recruiting video with nothing .but the ice cream creations soldiers conjure up.

It's a bit more difficult to produce a quality publication and put it out there for sale. It has to be professionally prepared with information your readers want and need - information they are willing to pay for week after week. That way your readers make the decision. It takes a professional staff dedicated to putting out that publication each week, know- ing readers deserve to get something for their money. No other publication in Baker County approaches our paid circulation numbers. We do it differently. We earn your support. Week after week. THE BAKERCOUNTY PRESS 7. Iovf niviii1ndno, a urdersuspcct .

PHOTO BY KELLEY LANNIGAN A criminal complaint for prop- erty destruction was filed follow- mg.an incident early on Septem- ber 17 when a Jacksonville man demonstrated his contempt for police by smashing the window of a parked county patrol car., The cruiser is assigned by Deputy Tracie Benton and was parked off Jerry Circle in Mac- dclenny next to the residence of Renee Hopson. . Ms. Hopson said her son, 19- year-old Richard Wisner, show- ed up about 5:00 am seeking to spend the night because of a tift with his room mate in Jackson- ville. She refused to allow him in because he had two acquain-, tances with him, and threatened to call police. "I'll show you what I think of police," the son replied before walking over to the police car ' and putting his fist through the driver'ss side window ". " He then left the scene. In other vehicle vandalism cases, the rear window of a 2003 Mustang was broken out during the night of September 12 on Lissie St. in Macclenny. , Owner Claudette Grey told police she heard an alarm about 2:30 outside her residence. A 2001 Ford driven by Pa- tricia Johnson of Sanderson was pummeled with rocks as it passed through Olustee in the west county the evening of Sep- tember 15. The rocks thrown from the area around Olustee Park dam- aged the windshield and passen- ger side window.

Says husband and others. tried to stuffher in trunk A number of arrests for do- mestic violence battery took place recently, including that of Kenneth McAndrew, 38, of Macclenny, charged with stik- ing his wife, and with the help of others, wrapping her in a blan- ket and attempting to stuff her into the trunk of a car. At least that is the story given to police by Judy McAndrew, 48, who gave Deputy Mark Hall several versions of the incident. She was first interviewed at the emergency room of Fraser Hos- pital, where she sought treat- ment for an eye injury. Deputy Hall accompanied her back to an address on Shir- ley Ave., where she claims she was accosted while sleeping on a couch. Her husband was at the residence and arrested for bat- tery and violating an injunction. The same deputy arrested Jimmy Simmons, 56, of Sand- erson following a confrontation early on September 17 at a resi- dence off Ivory Williams Rd. Mr. Simmons is accused of shoving girlfriend Laura Rush, 35, and threatening to shoot both her and her car after she refused to give him $20 to pur- chase beer. Deputy Hall said the suspect complained he would be unable to take his oxycontin pills with him to jail, and that he needed them for back and leg pain. He was taken to the Fraser emergency room before book- ing, and a doctor there suggest- ed Mr. Simmons' problem was alcoholism. A criminal complaint was filed September 12 charging Larry Wiggins, 38, with injur- ing wife Sandra, 37, during an argument at their residence off Ivy Hodges Rd. in south Mac- clenny. Sgt. Thomas Dyal said he re- sponded to a disturbance call and found Ms. Wiggins in the road- way crying with a large scratch on her neck. She told him her husband fled earlier with their two children. Deputies were unable to lo- cate suspects after Jeremy John- son, 35, of Macclenny showed up at the emergency room about midday on September 9 and said he was beaten by several males near the comer of King Dr. and South Boulevard. He described them only as black males, and said he did not know any of them.

The Council on Aging accepts and welcomes donations from the community in support of our seniors and the services the Council provides. In addi- tion to money, contributions from the community include household and lawn items, assistive devices like walkers, canes and wheelchairs, jewelry and other personal items. If a need is identified for something. specific and a donation comes in that matches that need, the item, or items, will. be given to the person in need. For items not in immediate demand, "yard sales" have been conducted to dispose of items not distributed but the time and manpower required for thesb events is prohibitive. As an alternative, a small space in the Center has now been set aside for a "daily yard sale". Items are priced within reach of fixed' incomes and the "yard sale corner" is open daily from 11:00 until 2:00, to seniors and the general public. All proceeds are divided equally between the Center's Senior Activity Fund and a COA Client Crisis Fund. The Council is partnering this month and next with the Northeast Florida Area Agency on Aging. (recently re-named "ElderSource") and the Baker County Health Department in a series of Healthy Aging work- shops for seniors. On Tuesday of last week local Health Department staff made the ini- tial presentation on heart dis- ease. On Thursday ElderSource brought in a certified chef for the nutrition component of the sym- posium, complete with healthy snack samples. The remaining presentations will all, be, on Tuesday morn- ings at 11:00 and all seniors aie invited.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday September 21, 2006 Page 10 No child left inside Studies suggest the majority of American children spend most of their time indoors, watch- ing television and playing video games.. As children become more sedentary, there is the possibility they will begin suffering from health and social problems that were not a concern a generation ago. Many of us can remember a time when exploring roaming a nearby forest or searching for the best fishing hole. Today, a child roaming their world means surf- ing the internet. Only now as a society are we discovering how this loss of natural play is chang- ing America's children and our own concept of society. According to child'advocacy expert Richard Louv, the lack of nature in children's lives, what he calls "nature-deficit disorder," can be directly linked to many of the ailments that children suffer today. With the rise of childhood obesity. attention deficit disorder, depression, and other maladies, American children are growing up less healthy then their parents did a generation ago. This is even occurring while more children than ever are par- ticipating in organized sports. However, Louv believes that nature can be a potent therapy for these illnesses. In his new book "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children, from Na-. ture-deficit Disorder," Louv uses scientific research to explain how direct exposure to nature is essential for children to develop into physically. emotionally, and spiritually healthy adults. Richard Louv is not the only one speaking out about this prob- lem. The concern about children losing their connection to nature is so great that a national con- ference on the subject was held recently at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Con- servation Training Center. Secretary of Interior Dick Kempthorne joined more than 300 educators, conservationists. throfessponals, and busi- es aders-to discuss how-to restore the connection between Need to look up the phone number for a classified ad and don't have the paper handy? Iou can find it online- in two weeks! Coming soon a redesigned more complete bakercountypress.com children and enjoyment of the outdoors. Secretary Kempthome said, "Our children are at risk of losing touch with God's creation. Few- er children are enjoying the great . outdoors, Too many children are overweight and out of shape. Fewer teenagers are out fishing. and hunting. Too many teenag- ers are.i'n % indowless basements playing'video games, where peo- ple are the hunted prey." This is a real problem, and so- lutions are now being discussed around the country. The slogan "No Child Left Inside" is often used to 'promote the idea of get-, ting children outdoors. Luckily, there is an easy.way to ensure your child does not suffer from "Nature-deficit Dis- order." Get your child outside. ,, A good place to start is your local National Wildlife Refuge or state park. At the Okefenokee NWR there is over 100 miles of water trails and hiking trails- plenty of room to roam. Re-dis-. cover your childhood interest in animals as you watch alligators swim by. Take your child boat- ing, hiking,' or bird watching. Spend a night under the stars with your family deep within the swamp. . And for husbands or sweet- hearts itching to get away from '"honey-do" lists, there's hunting, fishing: even wildlife photogra- phy opportunities. Tell your wife 'or husband you are doing it for your children,. to ensure that they remain connected with the natu- ral world, and maybe. just may- beyou will rediscover the child inside yourself as well. So use your explorations of the Okefenokee and other natu- ral areas as therapy for your child and yourself, to reconnect to na- ture for health and happiness. It will help reduce stress, improve your health, and forge a stronger family bond. Both you and your child will be better for it.

Up 22-14 with possession around the Raines 35-yard line, and needing just a couple of first dow ns to run out the clock and take home a well earned victory, the Cats put the ball on the ground and watchedas Vikings'defensive back Anthony Curry scooped it up and took it to the house.

"They're a very well coached football team, the kids are al- ways in the right place." While many teams, including the Cats, control the ball through the run, Ridgeview uses its short passing game. "If we give them five yards a catch, they'll take that all night long." Johns said they use the shot- gun formation 90 percent of the time, with three or four wide re- ceivers, and go no huddle.. On the other side of the ball, it will be the first 3-4 defense the Cats have faced this season. The game begins at 7:00 pm at Ridgeview.

It's an option play that allows us to "read" defensive players and make decisions on who will carry the football based on what the defense does. At a crucial point in the third quarter, quarterback Carlos Holton made a read to keep the ball, then went 60 yards for a score. The play works by reading the first defensive player head up to outside the offensive tackle. The quarterback will place the ball in the belly of the fullback, and if the defensive player squeezes down to tackle the fullback, the QB will pull the ball back. If the defender doesn't go for the fullback, the QB will give him the ball. If the quarterback keeps the ball himself, he will either run down the field as Carlos did or pitch it to the tailback if a secondary defender comes to tackle him. It's a great play if you have an athletic quarterback, but also works if you have a great "decision maker" at quarterback. Look for us to run this play many times during the season. senior all-purpose player got his chance against Raines and came up big, catching 3 balls for 72 yards, including a long reception near the end of regulation that gave the Cats a chance to go for the win from the 10-yard line "he's not very big (5'5"/140), but has worked hard to become strong and really molded himself to the team's needs and system," coach Johns said (right Qiarterback Carlos Holton. who raiu tit I 16 yards. reaches thie ball across tie goal liie to scoee on the two-point con'ersion to put the Cats up 22-14 with about six minutes left in Mle game (belon'i Hoilon. who dth' n wfor 141 yards ti itili tie touch pass tio Chaz,: Johns to the J7kngs 'one-yard line JoIIIs later punched a i tnr the Cats first sore , (bortomi Hank Farmer (30) and Dylan MInnI 21). who hada combined31 tackles, are in the backlielh before the quarterback can hand off.

They were up 22-14 when Curry picked up the fumble and scored. Despite the mistakes, the Cats were in position to win the game at the end of regulation. After Raines tied it at 22 on the fumble return, the offense- got the ball back with about two minutes left. A few plays later, with time dwindling, Jamar Farmer had the Vikings' second- ary beat by more than five yards but had to stop and wait for the pass at the ten-yard line, where they caught up to him. After Raines stuffed a run, the Cats got off one more play, a pass from Holton to Johns at the five, but Dukes got to him before he could get turned and headed for the end zone. The Vikings got the ball first in overtime and scored easily. They faked a kick for the extra- point and ran it in for two. Holton hit Johns with a five- yard touchdown pass, but was pressured on the conversion at- tempt and was unable connect with a receiver. There appeared to be contact in the end zone, but not enough to draw a flag. The good new s from the game was the progress of the offense, especially the passing game, which has been nearly non-exis- tent -just 52 net yards through the first three games. Against Raines. Holton com- pleted nine of 14 passes for 148 yards. "We worked hard on that dur- ing practice." Johns said. "We gave Carlos a better opportunity to be successful, we didn't just pass on third and long." "We've always relied on our play action, especially with Car- los. We like to get him out on the point and give him a chance to make decisions." Meanwhile the running game was hitting on all cylinders, gaining 301 yards on 50. Holton, who is shaping up as a high school version of Michael Vick, ran for 186 yards, includ- ing a 60-yard touchdown run. (See ChalkTalk below.) Lucious Lee racked up 63 yards on 16 carries and Chaz Johns 51 on 12., "We won the battle on the line of scrimmage," coach Johns said. In fact, when asked if his of- fense has been progressing as well as he'd hoped, he pointed to the improved block ng. S"We're' becoming more phys-, ical and that's a big key. We're knocking people off the ball 'a little bit more," He also said Holton has been making good decisions and the option is clicking the' way he wanted. "There's definitely been progress. We put up 440 yards on Raines. People say they're young, but they still have ath- letes out there. " He's also happy w ith the evo- lution of the defense. "There's no question we're getting better. We're more ag- gressive. We're getting pressure on the quarterback," he said, adding "We've made changes' everN week on defense, trying to get as much speed on the field as possible." Ladies play tournament and three dual matches BYBOB GERARD Press Sports It was a mixed bag for the Lady Wildcat volleyball team last week. They came up against some tough competition, including many of the state's top-ranked teams. They played hard and competitively. The highlight of the week was a second victory over Bradford County. Earlier in the season they defeated Bradford on the road, and this time around the Tornadoes gave them all they could handle before BCHS came back and beat them in five games. "This was an emotional game for us, knowing that this was our rival," said Coach Chris Armoreda. "You never want to lose a game to your rival on your home court. Our play was very inconsistent and our execution was lack-luster and this put us in a hole 2 games to 1 after dropping games two and three." Bradford made some mental errors and the home crowd provided a lot of noise that fired up the players. Baker came back and began to dominate play in games four and five. Statistical leaders for the game were Tiffany Norman and Brittany Gray with 4 kills each. Cassie Kennedy had 8 assists. Kristin Mathis and Kennedy had 2 aces each and Norman, MI ary Dugger and Tasha Battles collected a pair of blocks each., 'The Lady Cats started the week with a three-game loss to fifth- ranked Alachua Santa Fe. The Lady Cats rose to the level of play and gave the Raiders a lot of trouble before falling 25-15, 25-23 and 25-9. Armoreda was pleased despite the loss.

The tournament brought the cream of the state's volleyball players to Gainesville. Thirteen of the 16 teams ranking in the Top 6 in the State through 2A.- 6A were in attendance. "This was a great learning experience for the team." said Armore- da. "We were able to play against and watch some of the best teams in Florida. We played 5 games and out of the 11 matches in total from the 5 games, we w\ ere able to win one match against a tough team from Sarasota. We tookthis team to three games.

Lukas Crews and Trey Echols both shot 39 while Trevor Corbitt checked in with his best round of the year at 45. Coach John Staples was particularly pleased with the performance he got from some of his younger players. "Trevor shooting a 45 was big for us as far as a solid team score goes and Lukas was his usual consistent self. It was nice to see us rebotind from our worst round of the year to follow it up with our best round of the year."

Busy week for Cat volleyball . :t THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS September 21, 2006 Smart repairs for sellers Early September By Jared Wilkerson Real Estate Writer When planning to sell a home in the current market, sellers should take an objective look around <_ the property for repairs orupgrades that need to be made in order to make the home more appealing to buyers. Take cau- Stion, though. The types of repairs or hile. F you do and how Jared o er son. Fealtor y -n h o- they're done \aill detennrmine whether or not you get your money back when the home finally sells. Some repairs and upgrades are north h while. For instance, if all of the other homes in the neighbor- hood that are currently on the mar- ket have recently remodeled kitch- ens and bathrooms, it would be a pretty tough sell-to market a home N% ith all original fixtures afid cabi- netry at the same pricing levels as the rest. Here's a handy list of do's and don't regarding home repairs: I Do0: Repaint all interior roomnis with neutral col- ors. Not only will it make the home look nicer and less lived in, but neutral colors are sure not to offend the design tastes of prospective buyers. Light colors also make a room look, bigger verses a darker colored paint. 0 Do: Consider re-shin- gling the roof if it is over 15 years old. According to a recent statistical survey on home repairs, homes in Northeast Florida with new roofs average just over 100% return on repair costs upon the resale of the home. This study included only homes that were stripped to the bare wood and then re-shingled. If there is wood damage present in the roof from a leak, then chances are that it will not pass a Wood Destroying Organism report (which is required by ,most lenders) and as a result will require some roofing repair anyway. This is where a pre- marketing inspection will. come in handy to help tip the scales on whether or not to go for the new roof. Sure, adding a new roof will also take longer before the home can 1 Do: Update bathrooms if they are becoming dated. Nothing says yuckk" in the mind of a buyer more than a lime-green matching toilet and tub set from the 70's. Sure, they still function okay, but that doesn't mean they still work. This especially applies to any bathrooms that are adjacent to major living areas (these are the ones the new owners will let guests use). These repairs can be exten- sive and still payoff. Replace all fixtures to include sinks, tubs, showerheads, and even the toilet. New solid surface countertops are a great sell- ing feature here. A remodeled bathroom fetches nearly 110% of the costs upon resale. IZ Do: Consider doing some minor remodeling of the kitchen. The kitchen is one of the most influential areas of the house. If it looks a little outdated, the buyers will never forget that. All-new cabinets simply cost too much to replace to ever recoup that money at closing. However, older cabinet doors can be eas- ily replaced with newer styles at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire cabinets. I can't believe how cheap new counter tops are these days. A little know how in basic removal and installation can go a long way toward sprucing up the look and (See Page 3) A bold brick exterior with wrought-iron accents makes this I It one-and-a-half story Southern home low maintenance.

If it can be replaced with a moderately priced alterna- tive, it will be well worth the effort. Finding a good deal on more energy efficient appliances is not a bad idea either, depending on how old the existing ones are. Making room to add in a dishwasher to a kitchen without one will win all sorts of favor with buyers. 1] Don't: Bother replacing win- dows. Everyone loves the idea of dou- ble-paned thermal windows, but the price and time involved will cost an average of about a 20% loss at resale. Don't: Remodel any rooms to include adding customized shehv- ing or built-in storage spaces. Built-in shelving units can add a lot of uniqueness to a room and obviously will come in handy for the new buyers, but the shelves might also run the risk of not fitting in with the buyers' design tastes or may even hinder their furniture lay- out ideas. Despite what you may have seen on one of HGTV's redesign shows, bare rooms are still the best way to go. Besides, it would probably cost 25% more to redesign the room's layout than what the room itself will be worth at the -A; 5. -5. .5 I-. 5. 4 A; -5. .5. 4 '5.

A lot of people don't agree w\ith this one. citing that every investor who buys a property to make money invari- ably replaces the carpet. Don't misun- derstand, new carpet is nice, but a lot of times homeowners end up replacing car- pet that isn't bad at'all with carpet that on]N they would want. Nothing says ouch on a wallet like new carpet that doesn't match any of the buyers' furniture. They aren't going to replace brand new carpet with more brand new carpet, and believe it or not, that might keep them from buy- ing the home. I hear it from buyers all the time. \\orst-case scenario: if the carpet is really on the borderline, offer ia carpet allowance for the buyers at closing. Now they can select their own carpet, which will make them hap- pier anyway. Even if they don't actually use the money to replace the carpet, it may still be a good payback in their minds for the money they had to put toward closing, which might just turn "bad carpet" into "great selling point." sale.

JELD-WEN, the world's leading manufacturer of reli- able windows and doors, of- fers expert Halloween door decor advice and creative harvest themes for a vari- ety of today's most popular styles. The designs are made with colorful and playful materials, adding to a home's curb appeal and festive feel. "When planning Hallow- een decor. consider the archi- tectural style of the door first, then choose a design that will function best within its framework," said Elizabeth Souders, JELD-WEN door marketing manager. "For example, a simple wreath or swag would work best with a highly detailed front door. Whereas a simpler door style would complement a Hal- loween decoration ith more color and detail."

Retail spending amounts are heart- stopping, totaling more than $3 billion, according to the- National 'Retail Federation. And thanks to trick-or-treat- ers, the front door and entry- way gets most of the action. To dress the door for the season, some of JELD- WEN's suggested Hallow- een door designs incorpo- rate unique accents, like a mossy wreath with a devil's mask and small bats with red eyes tucked throughout. The design really "pops"' when hung on a red door such as the JELD-WEN@ Steel Provincial@ door. For a less spooky,. more harvest season feel, a woven cornu- copia, filled %ith brilliantly colored dried flow ers, leaves and moss overflo%%s to greet guests throughout the au- tumn months. All of these creations, including a simple and affordable do-it-yourself option, complement each door's architectural style, texture and color. Fall into the door care habit Because Halloween means a lot of attention on the front door, it's also a great time to check your door for any maintenance or cleaning needs. "Halloween and the be-. ginning of the cool weather is the perfect time to inspect your doors to make sure they're in good working or- der before the chilly win- ter months," Souders said. "Just a few quick touch-ups can add years of life to your door." JELD-WEN offers sim- ple steps to help front doors look their best for Halloween trick-or-treaters.
