BYJIM McGAULEY
Press publisher
Buffeted by protests from a half dozen
nearby residents fearing overcrowded neigh-
borhoods and roads. plus allegations they
were not properly\ notified, the Baker County
Commission on Monday approved a land use
change amendment for the 54-acre Lakes of
Woodlaw\n subdivision off \oodlawn Road.
Commissioners and county planner Ed
Preston assured the worried neighbors the
vote merely sends the development plan back
to the Department of Communitx Affairs in
Tallahassee for another re\ iew.
The "nuts and bolts" details of the 130-
lot subdivision, including the type of hous-
ing, lot size and improvements to the narrow
Woodla\ n Road, will come later \hen the
zoning status and subdivision regulations are
considered.
At the same September 25 meeting, the
board unanimously approved a land use
change for the 1631-acre. St. Mars Shoals
Park the county plans to develop for recre-
ation and conservation.
A land use change similar to that sought
for Woodlawn for another residential devel-
opment called LongBranch Farms west of
Glen St. Mary \\as withdrawn. Its principals


are John D. Kennedy and RickN Davis of
Nlacclennv.
The Lakes of Woodla\\ n is proposed by an
entity named North Florida Heritage Group
and the principal is JeffreN Cook of Earth-
\orks of Northeast Florida in Nlacclenny.
The Woodla\% n master plan was submitted
to DCA in Ma\, and sent back \ith concerns
that certain preliminaries are met before final
approval. They include an inter-local agree-
ment \ith Macclennv for afterr and sew\er,
and assurances the developer "ill pony up
money to help pay for improvements on
Woodlawn. often called "Snake Road" be-
cause of its finding g course.
The re-submitted plan also addresses pay-
ment for extra burdens on schools.
Mr. Preston recommended the county
adopt the ordinance for the land use change,
and Commissioner Mark Hartley \ as the sole
dissenter.
"I lived off Woodlawn Road for 15 years
and I know what it's like." he said. echoing
some of the early speakers. "I ha\ e problems
with the density [four houses per acre] and
with only one entrance."
He predicted traffic snarls with a single
turnoff from Woodla" n, particularly at peak
rush hours. North Florida Heritage has al-
ready agreed to basic infrastructure like paved


roads., curbs and gutters., and a turnaround for
school buses.
Mr. Preston's remark that a DOT traffic
study showed no significant adverse impact
with the addition of Lakes of Woodlaw% n w as
met with laughter from audience members
\ ho decried the "urbanization" of the area off
Woodlaw\n and intersecting Dupree Road.
Nonetheless, traffic on the east-west artery
between CR 125 south of Glen St. NlarN and
SR 121 at Interstate 10 is expected to be a
key issue once the county gets the plan back
from the state and the actual zoning changes
are proposed.
Other speakers predicted large increases in
the amount of roadside trash accompanying
a heavier traffic load. noise levels and disap-
pearance of a rural atmosphere.
In a public hearing that preceded the land
use votes. no one spoke for or against final
adoption of the reduction of the county's tax
mill rate to 8.46 or the $25.8 million budget it
will help fund in 2007.
With the exception of routine departmen-
tal comments accompanying requests for
funding, there was virtually no input from
the public during budget deliberations in July
and August.
The board votes on both were unanimous.


Jury acquits

in DUI trial


Wednesday
A six-member jury deliberat-
ed nearly three hours the evening
of September 20 before deciding
John J. Dugger Jr. of Sanderson
is not guilty of a drunk driving
charge that dated back one year.
Mr. Dugger that evening re-
fused to take either a field so-
briety test or submit to a breath
test, and testified his erratic driv-
ing that evening was due to poor
road conditions on CR 127 north
of Sanderson. The trial before
Circuit Judge David Giant lasted
all day, and the jury was out from
shortly after 5:00 pm to just be-
fore 8:00.
The jury at one point appeared
deadlocked, and asked Judge
:Giant if its decision had to be
unanimous. It returned the ver-
dict shortly thereafter.
"This kind of case can some-
times be more difficult [to get a
conviction] because you don't
have any scientific evidence that
someone was intoxicated and
you have to rely on other testi-
mony." said Assistant State At-
torney Greg Edw ards. Mr. Dug-
ger was represented by Duke
Fagan of Jackson% ille.
Mr. Dugger was tried in felony
court because the last of his two
prior DUI con ictions occurred
within ten years of the one in
September, 2005.
In other felony court cases the
past week, Caleb Kaeck of Mac-
S-clenny drew a five year prison
term for violating probation for
his role in the traffic death of
Phillip Middleton, 20, of Mac-
clenny in January 17, 2006.
Mr. Kaeck at the time of the
accident was on probation for
DUI causing personal injury. Mr.
Middleton was a passenger in a
car driven by the defendant that
night when it collided head-on
with another vehicle on CR 23A
north of Macclenny.
He still faces a charge of DUI
homicide.
In other sentencing by Cir-
cuit Judge David Giant on Sep-
tember 25; Carey Dolison drew
a three-year prison term in return
for a plea to aggravated battery
with a deadly weapon and felo-

hits semi

A Glen St. larN man died
early on September 23 .when
his Ford Ranger pickup truck
slammed into the rear of a trac-
tor-trailer parked in the emer-
gency lane of an on-ramp to In-
terstate 10.
Jason R. Palleschi, 36, was
dead at the scene after the 2:10
am accident. He was the seventh
person to die on Baker County
roads in 2006. and was alone in
the vehicle at the time.
The mruck driven by Robert S.
Tay lor, 28, of Corinth, Miss. was
parked legally at the entrance
from SR 121, said Trooper D.R.
Bazinet. Mr. Ta ]lor stopped there
to clean his windshield of love-
bugs that have been swarming in
northeast Florida in recent days.
Neither Mr. Taylor nor pas-
senger Michael S. Cox, 31, also
of Corinth, were injured. The
passenger was. in the sleeper
compartment of the truck cab.
Mr. Palleschi was not wear-
ing a seat belt. A determination
of other contributing factors in
the accident pends a toxicology
analysis.


Legacy of friendship ..


90th birthday occasion .,,.....

to renew bonds, memories


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
Four ladies with ties to Baker
County and a long legacy of
friendship met recently for a
celebration lunch and an after-
noon of reminiscing.
Lucy Dinkins, 87, Luda Kilgo,
83, Peggy Nagle Humprey,
90 and Louise Whitt, 90, have
been friends for decades. Ms.
Humprey, who now resides
in Moultrie, Ga., traveled to
Macclenny last week to cel-
ebrate her 90th birthday at the
home of Luda Kilgo and reunite
with some of her best buddies.
They sat chatting in the liv-
ing room, admiring the beauti-
ful paintings of fruit and flowers
and a majestic stag on mountain
done long ago by Ms. Kilgo's
mother.


Again and again, they thanked
each other for the .many thought-
ful gestures, kind deeds and
wonderful friendships shared
over the decades.
Afterwards, the ladies retired
to the dining room, enjoyed a
catered lunch of chicken salad,
fruit salad, pimiento cheese on
whole wheat and New York
cheesecake.
Lunch was a time to catch
up on the lives of other friends,
remember ,loved ones and
friends now deceased and hear
about children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. It was
also a time to remark on all the
changes in Macclenny, remem-
ber interesting facts and tell
funny stories.
Ms. Whitt made sure the
atmosphere remained jovial


Getting together to celebrate friendship and the old times; (l-r) Ms. Whitt, Ms. Humprey, Ms. Kilgo and Ms. Dinkins


with a hilarious joke:
"A preacher told his congre-
gation he would say a word and
they were to tell him a song it
reminded them of.
"Love," he said.


"Love Lifted Me," one lady
volunteered.
"Rock," said the preacher.
"Rock of Ages," shouted a
man.
"Sex," said the preacher.


The congregation was silent,
but finally an elderly lady on the
front pew raised her hand.
"I know that one," she said.
"Precious Memories."

MY SIDE OF

THE MATTER*
ROBERT GERARD
As you know, one of the many
hats I wear is that of crusading
investigative journalist. The hat
resembles a lamp shade with
Press written on it, and enables
me into the very recesses of the
news industry where I am able
to ferret out (or hamster out) tid-
bits of news that most reporters
miss.
Here are some items that
crossed my table and were
missed by other yellow journal-
ists. Just remember, you read it
here first.
The Pope has gotten into a
lot of trouble lately using some-
what insulting remarks against
Islam during a recent meeting.
Benedict quoted a text from the
Middle Ages that criticized the
religion for gaining converts via
the sword. The Pope's spin doc-
tors quickly got him to apolo-
gize.
Moslems. who the Pope criti-
cized for using violence as a tool of
conversion, demonstrated, there\ a
firebomb or tN\o at some church-
es and killed a couple of nuns in
protest against the ridiculous as-
sertions.
Cat Stevens. a former pop
singer \who is also a devout Mos-
lem. also joined the criticism. He
claimed that he used to believe
Sthe .-P.neb..i^. a 4bl .:po.w-
does not:
The Pope apologized yet again
and added that "Ooo. baby. baby
it's a Wild World ..." and then
suggested "...eeryone jump up
on the Peace Train."
President Bush has wisely
stayed out of the argument be-
tween the head of the Catholic
Church and Islam except to say
that now that the Pope has prov-
en that he isn't infallible, he's
[Mr. Bush] the only \world leader
left ho is.
European golfers won their
third straight Ryder Cup victory
at the K Club in Ireland this past
week. The Europeans dominated
such top American golfers as Ti-
ger Woods, Phil Mickelson and
Jim Funk.
When asked about the loss,
US captain Tom Lehman com-
mented he thought the odd rules
imposed by the Europeans could
have had a hand in the loss.
"The fact that they made us
play in kilts could have had
something to do with it." Tiger
Woods agreed. "I kept feeling a


draft and couldn't concentrate on
my putting."
Scientists are still baffled as
to why cut spinach continues to
produce illness or even death.
Over 250 cases of E-coli have
been linked to bag spinach over
the past month. One death has
been attributed to the bacteria:
Though the Center for Dis-,
ease Control and Prevention
(CDC) is actively investigating
the source of the outbreak, there
is one group not at all surprised
by the situation.
Eight year old Lucinda Mat-
lock, spokesperson forth CAYV,
[Children Against Yucky Vegeta-
bles] claims to have known it all
along.
"All adults had to do %was lis-
ten to their kids." says Matlock.
"We could have told them all
along that spinach was yucky
and shouldn't be eaten." Mat-
lock warns that people who eat
broccoli, cauliflower. Brussels
sprouts, cooked cabbage and
beets face the same danger.
"We ,feel strongly that these
dangerous vegetables should be
replaced at the dinner table by
macaroni and cheese and Cap-
tain Crunch cereal."
I am convinced it won't be
long until deviled ham and choc-
olate covered cherries are added
to the spinach list.
The Army recently withheld
its new budget request from Con-

Foullanguage s

(The following letter was sent to Superintendent Barton
earlier this month. Dr. Heddle early this week confirmed Ms.
Barton replied that the matter had been addressed.)

Dear Superintendent:
My wife and I recently visited our daughter, son-
in-law and grandchildren in Macclenny. Since our
daughter and her husband are avid supporters of
the community, we attended the Friday night Baker
County High School football game with them on
September 8.
Our son-in-law purchased good seats so that we
could see the total field. Our seats were in close
proximity to the coaches who videotaped the game
and relayed information to the coaches on the field.
I feel compelled to write to you because of the
cursing and foul language these coaches used during
the game. It is a tragedy when God and prayer have
been removed from our schools, but it is even more
reprehensible when the coaches used the name of
Jesus Christ as a curse word. When a Wildcat player
missed a tackle, a block, or even failed to catch a
pass, these coaches frequently used the "F" word or
the name of the Lord in vain.
Coaches andl teachers should be Dositive role


oils game night

models for the children of America. What are we
teaching our children with this type of language we
heard?
At one point in the game my granddaughter
turned to me and said, "Grand-dad, did you hear the
dirty words that man used?"
There were small children sitting within hearing
distance of the coaches who were verbalizing their
displeasure with the football players. These small
children heard the coaches and looked at them as
they cursed in a very loud voice.
Since the coaches of Baker County High School
use this type of language in public. I can only imag-
ine what they say to the players when no one is
around. Again I ask, what are we teaching our chil-
dren?
I have known many good coaches who do not
use this type of language. The language of your
coaches as they performed their official duties at a
public gathering is inexcusable. They spoiled the at-
mosphere at the game [that] Friday night for us.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Ron Heddle
Santee, South Carolina

Where did they

The dog days of summer just officially ended.
Evenings have been blissfully cooler, but the heat
during the day can still climb into the 90s.
Our great grandparents, most of whom were
farmers and lived without air conditioning, were
more'directly affected by the season then we are
today. occur, .
Dog days, whichonly occur in
the northern hemisphere, begin in TH E
late July and last through the early
part of September. Characterized PO
by the hottest, most humid tem- P I
peratures of the year, they were KELLEY L
traditionally' considered period of KELLEYL
inacti'ity and stagnation.
Plants went to seed in the fields, creeks and
streams ran dry and certain diseases like rabies
seemed to occur more frequently.
Most people assume this time of year came to
be called "dog days" due to the rise in cases of
rabies that caused infected dogs to go mad.
In the early' part of the 20th Century, the mere
sight of a rabid dog acting crazed and wandering
through the town streets incited panicked shouts of
"Mad Dog!"
You might remember the scene in the movie To
Kill A Mockingbird when lawyer Atticus Finch has
to do just that.
The term "dog days" has yet another origin,
however one rooted in the stars. Most people are
familiar with the constellation Orion the Hunter.
His belt of three stars in a row is one of the most
identifiable images in the night sky.
Less familiar to most people are the two dog
constellations accompanying the giant in his pur-
suit across the heavens of Lepus, the rabbit star.
The brightest star in the night sky is part of
Canus Major, or the big dog. That bright star is
called Sirius, commonly known as the dog star. .
In late July, Sirius becomes very visible on the

horizon rising and setting with the sun, So bright is
Sirius that ancient Romans and Egyptians thought
it to be giving added heat to our sun, resulting in
the hottest season of the year.
The Egyptians observed that the appearance of
Sirius, which they called Sihor. rose in conjunction

AMN 1N IGAJNM temples to announce the beginning
of the new year.
There is a reference in the 1557 Book of Common
Prayer to "Dog Dales" of sunmier and many refer-
ences were made to Sirius in the Old Testament,
notably the Book of Job. The Hebrews referred to
the star'as Mazzaroth. Job 38:31-32 says: ...Canst
thou loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring
forth Mazzaroth (Sirius) in his season?
Although looked upon favorably in ancient
times as the harbinger of soon-to-appear life-giv-
ing waters in Egypt, the appearance of the dog
star came to be associated with intolerable heat,
lethargy, disease and of course, mad dogs. James
Owens, writing for National Geographic, cites that
Pliny, a Roman historian living and writing in the
24th century A.D., made notations in his Natural
History of the increased risk of being attacked by
rabid dogs in the months of July and August.
Whether you believe the dog star brings life giv-
ing water or madness or is just one of the infinite
wonders that exist beyond this world depends upon
your perspective.
So, next summer when it feels like everything's
"gone to the dogs," you might want to look up into
the night sky. August heat and humidity aside, it's
an amazing sight.

Cuts man



in bar fight

A brother-in-law is charged
with cutting 46-year-old Paul
Harvey of Sanderson with a
knife during an argument at
Pop's Place east of Macclenny
the night of September 22.
Police were called to the emer-
,.-geency room at Fraser Hospital
about 11:30 where Mr. Harvey
was treated for a large laceration
on his leg and three smaller cuts
near his abdomen.
He told Deputy Ben Anderson
he was stabbed by Clifford Bell,'
39, of Glen St. Mary, and during
a subsequent interview with Mr.
Bell, he admitted to the attack in
response to being slapped by Mr.
Harvey.
Mr. Bell was booked for ag-
gravated battery.
In other incidents, a Mac-
clenny man named in a criminal
complaint recently for an attack
on his 14-year-old son was ar-
rested for disorderly conduct
early on September 24 when he
attempted to visit the boy.
Roney Davis, 48, had been
drinking when he showed up
at the residence of his daughter
and son-in-law about 2:00 am,
asking to see his son, who was
asleep inside. They refused to al-
low him in and called police.
Deputy Greg Bumsed inter-.
viewed the parties and left when
Mr. Davis agreed to be civil,
then was called back shortly
after when the father allegedly
threatened the daughter and son-
in-law and became unruly again.
He was then arrested.
Blake Iverson, 22, of Sander-
son was arrested for battery of a
co-worker at a construction site
off Glen Farms Road the after-
noon of September 19.
Mr. Iverson told Deputy
Gavin Sweat he struck Lynwood
Griffis, 47, of Glen twice about
the head and took him to the
ground when the latter reached
in his tool box and the accused
took it as a threatening gesture.
The rho quarreled frequently
over the past several \\eeks, the
deputy was told.
Two parties to another ongo-
ing dispute, this one over a road
right-of-way, were charged the
evening of September 24 with
disturbing the peace.
Stephen Keeton, 42, and
neighbor Martin Roman, 48, had
come to near-blows on several
occasions and the sheriff's de-
partment responded, said Sgt.
Michael Crews.
Mr. Keeton has accused Mr.
Roman of wrongfully blocking
'access to his residence, and both
family and neighbors said they
fear the dispute will escalate into
serious bodily harm or death.
The propefn in question is on
Sunshine Lane in Sanderson.


May have set the record



for driving without license,

A motorist arrested or running a stop sign in Sanderson the
early morning of September 24 may hold the record for the great-
est number of driver's license suspensions.
Shortly after he stopped Tommy
Smith, 38, of Maxville on US 90 about
12:45, Deputy Randy Davis learned via a
computer check that Mr. Smith was driv-
ing with 21 suspensions, and had,been
declared a felony habitual offender.
Deputy Davis stopped the 1992 Ford
van being driven by Mr. Smith after it
turned east onto US 90 from CR 229.
The deputy said Mr. Smith had been
drinking, but he did not charge him with
an alcohol-related offense.
"I'd never seen that many prior sus-
pensions before so we looked it up and
found out 17 of them wvere for failure to Mr. Smith
pay, two were for failure to appear arid the
other two for refusing to submit [to breathalyzer tests] DUIs,"
said Deputy Davis.
Mr. Smith remains in county jail this week pending a $5000
bond.
In another weekend arrest involving alcohol, Michael Larry,
.45, no address listed, was charged with disorderly intoxication
the evening of September 22 for refusing to leave the BP station
in downtown Macclenny.
Deputy Ben Anderson said-he twice requested Mr. Larry cease
pestering store customers.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday September 28, 2006 Page 6


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
It was a surprising sight for
many folks the morning of
September 23 as they traveled
along Macclenny Avenue. From
their cars, passing motorists
caught sight of a procession of
130 women, men and children
carrying bright blue and white
flags.
At the head of the parade the
two largest flags flew side by
side. One bore the familiar stars
and stripes of the United States;
the other featured the stripes and
large blue Mogen David, known
to many as the Star of David.
The "Stand with Israel"
march was coordinated and
sponsored by Daughters For
Zion, a local woman's organi-
zation formed by Macclenny
resident Kitty Waddell .to help'
inspire a greater awareness
among Baker County's citizens
of Christianity's deep Judaic
roots..
The march began at the Baker
County courthouse and culmi-
nated in a rally celebration held
at Heritage Park %which featured
speakers, music, dance and dra-
matic performances and food.
The opening of the rally began
with organization supporter
Charlie Lance blowing the sho-
far (ram's horn), the traditional,
Jewish way of calling an assem-
bly.
"Daughters, For Zion is not:
a political organization in the
least," says Ms. Waddell. "Our,
main goal is to foster education
about Christianity's significant
Judaic connections and to pro-
mote humanitarian aid to the,
state of Israel.".
Ms. Waddell has held a life-
long passion for. the culture of
Israel which began when she
was a 10-year-old girl grow-
ing up in the 1950s in White
Springs, Fla.
At the time, the young Kitty
didn't make any connections
between the Israel of the 20th
Century, founded in 1948, to the
ancient country described in the
Old Testament.
"I'm sure I had heard about
Israel in the news but didn't
really pay attention," said Ms.
Waddell.
She describes how the word
Israel suddenly took on new
meaning for her when she was
called upon to read out loud
from the Bible during a young
people's service at her church.
"I suddenly realized this isn't
just ancient history I'm read-
ing about. The Bible is talking
about a place that still exists
today," she said. "That experi-
ence brought heaven and earth
together for me."
She began reading and
studying everything she could
about Israel and over the years,
amassed a personal library of
more than 300 volumes on the
subject.

'Too tired for school,' attacks mother


A


passion r Israel

SDaughters forZion support Christianit'5s Jewish roots


After a lifetime of study, the
desire to visit Israel became so
strong that Ms. Waddell con-
quered her fear of flying and in
2000 boarded her first plane to
embark on a tour of the Holy
Land.
"For Christians, this is where
it all began, with the Israelites,"
she says. When I first arrived
in Israel, I felt I had somehow
come home."
Since. then, she has visited
the country twice more. Feeling
what she believes to be a divine
inspiration. ("I heard this voice
in my heart") she went on to
found Daughters For Zion and
began speaking in public about
the organization's mission.
Thus far, Daughters For Zion
has been instrumental in rais-
ing funds to donate to Operation
Northern Renewal, a charitable
organization under the National
Jewish Fund which plants trees
in sections of Northern Israel
where forests have been devas-
tated by. bombing.
The group has also raised
money to help provide winter
fuel to heat a school in the small.
remote village of Aboud, where
an American missionary, is at
work.
"We have a core of about 15
women in the group no\\ and we
hope that will increase." says
Ms. Waddell.
In the meantime, Daughters
for Zion is planning a series of
education talks open to the pub-
lic about the culture of Israel,
and wants to plan a tour to the
country in the near future.
"I hope the tour can expose
people to such highlights as the
Dead Sea, the City of Jerusalem,
Calvary, The Holocaust Museum
and maybe some actual excava-
tion projects of ancient sites."

who bless you ... all the com-

The sheriff's department ar-
rested a 14-year-old the morning
of September 19 after he struck
his mother, who was awakening
him to go to school.
The boy, who has a history
of conflict with his 41-year-old
mother, told Deputy William
Hilliard he hit her on the head
and arm because he was tired and
didn't feel like going to school.
Because' of ongoing problems
that the Department of Children
and Families have been inves-
tigating, and the likelihood of
continued violence, the youth
was transferred to the custody of
juvenile authorities.
The incident occurred at a
residence on US 90 west in Mac-
clenny.

The Baker County Council
on Aging Board of Directors
will meet September 28, at 5:00
PM at the Senior Center.
Almost all Council on Aging
operations depends greatly on
volunteers who play vital roles
in agency administrative func-
tions and are the backbone of
many COA services. Two of
the- service areas that benefit
most from the time contributed
by volunteers are Telephone
Reassurance and Meals on
Wheels.
Meals on Wheels or home
delivered meals is heavily,
dependent on a cadre of volun-
teers who deliver the service;
usually in a team of two, one to
drive and one to deliver. The cur-
rent Meals team is led by Mary
Covin, with the longest time on a
route and some of the other team
stars include the First Methodist
Church of Macclenny, whose
members fully staff the largest
meal route five days a week; the
Macclenny Nursing and Rehab
Center meals team that runs the
second largest route three days a
week: and our individual volun-
teers %\ ho generously give their
time one or two days a week.
Our hats go off to these dedi-
cated volunteers. They are truly
"Elder Angels"..To get on board.
call 259-2223, extension 222.
Telephone Reassurance, is a
service in which these "Angels"
communicate on a mutually
agreed upon schedule with
assigned homebound clients, to
check on the client's safety and
well being and satisfaction with
the services they are receiv-
ing. Reassurance teams also
help survey client satisfaction
with services. The Telephone
Reassurance volunteer has the
opportunity to provide a much
needed service and the client or
caregiver has a new friend, or in
some cases renews a friendship
with someone they have kno'% n
for \ears. The Council is no%
in need of three volunteers to
do Telephone Reassurance calls
and another to act as coordina-
tor of the Reassurance TEAM.
Volunteer candidates should call
259-2223, extension 231 for
more information.

BCCOA had some very good
news this week, when an in-
home service client called to say
she had found some valuable
jewelry reported missing. The
client's call was much appre-
ciated. The COA is, also very
glad to have this circumstan-
tial cloud of suspicion removed
from over the Council on Aging.
The Agency runs background
checks on every new hire, rou-
tinely monitors service staff
activities and -investigates all
complaints or allegations. Our
sincere thanks to this client for
her call and an apology for any
discomfort that perceived suspi-
cions may have caused a trusted
staff member.

INMEMORY OF
Arthur Dwayne Raulerson
9/29/60 10/28/03
Don't think of him as gone awav
his journey's just begun, life
holds so many facets this earth is
only one.
Just think of him as resting, from
the sorrows and the tears, in a place
of warmth and sadness where there
are no days and years.
Think how he must be wish-
ing that we could know today how
nothing but our sadness can really
pass away.
And think of him as living, in the
hearts of those he touched for noth-
"ing loved is ever 'lost and he was
loved so iimch.
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
LOVE YOU, MICKEY

Thanksfor the prayers
For all the calls, cards, food
and kind words, but most impor-
tant, I thank you for your prayers
and friendship which means the
world to me.
LOVE TO ALL OF YOU,

tect,people, especially youth, .from health hazards of using tobacco. including addictive disorders,
cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and lung diseases: and to discourage use of tobacco, particularly
among youth, a portion of the money that tobacco companies pay to the State of Florida under the
Tobacco Settlement each year snail be used to fund a comprehensive statewide tobacco education
and prevention program consistent with recommendations of the U.S Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), as follows:

hensive statewide tobacco education and prevention program consistent with the recommendations
for effective program components in the 1999 Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control
Programs of the CDC. as such Best Practices may be amended by the CDC. This program shall
include, at a minimum, the following components, and may include additional components that are
also contained within the CDC Best Practices, as periodically amended, and that are effective at
accomplishing the purpose of this section,, and that do not undermine the effectiveness of these
required minimum components:
(1) an advertising campaign to discourage the use of tobacco and to educate people, especially
youth, about the health hazards of tobacco, which shall be designed to be effective at achieving
these goals and shall include, but need not be limited to, television, radio, and pnnt advertising, with

health hazards of tobacco, help youth develop skills to refuse tobacco, and demonstrate to youth

grams that involve youth and emphasize the prevention and cessation of tobacco use:

minors, and the possession of tobacco by minors; and
(5) publicly-reported annual evaluations to ensure that moneys appropriated pursuant to this sec-
tion are spent properly, which shall include evaluation of the program's effectiveness in reducing and
preventing tobacco use, and annual recommendations for improvements to enhance the program's
effectiveness, which are to include comparisons to similar programs proven to be effective in other
states, as well as comparisons to CDC Best Practices, including amendments thereto.
(b) Funding. In every year beginning with the calendar, year after voters approve this amendment,,
the Florida Legislature shall appropriate, for the purpose expressed herein, from the total gross
funds that tobacco companies pay to the State of Florida under the Tobacco Settlement, an amount
equal to fifteen percent of such funds paid to the State in 2005; and the appropriation required by
this section shall be adjusted annually for inflation, using the Consumer Price Index as published by
the United States Department of Labor.
(c) Deflnitions. Tobacco" Includes, without limitation, tobacco itself and tobacco products that
include tobacco and are intended or expected for human use or consumption, including, but not lim-
ited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, and smokeless tobacco. The "Tobacco Settlement" means
that certain Settlement Agreement dated August 25, 1997, entered Into in settlement of the case,
styled as State of Florida, et al. v. American Tobacco Company, et al., Case No. 95-1466 AH (Fla.

This amendment requires state government to appropriate approximately $57 million in 2007 for the
Comprehensive Statewide Tobacco Education and Prevention Program. Thereafter, this amount
will increase annually with inflation. This spending is expected to reduce tobacco consumption. As
a result, some long-term savings to state and local government health and Insurance programs are
probable, but indeterminate. Also, minor revenue loss to state government is probable, but Indeter-
minate.

Despite picking up 16 first
downs and running more plays
than Baker's offense (50-48),
the Panthers' offense was unable
to penetrate the red zone.
"They kind of nickled and
dimed us. They moved the
chains, but never really threat-

Some of that yardage came
in the first half, when the.Cats
came out a little soft in cover-
age, giving up short passes.
"I got tired of looking at that
and told our coaches to tighten
up, tighten up the cornerbacks."
Johns also was unhappy with
linebackers' play, his team's
tackling and the defensive line's
inability to dominate the line of
scrimmage.
However, he did single out
the play of freshman safety
Darvin Ruise (see Film Star

Despite the shutout, he'

"I'm pleased with our

Against Ridgeview, we tried,to keep it simple with our power running game and run the football
straight at the Panthers' defense.
The draw play for us is nothing more than an "old fashioned" off-tackle power play. Not many
high schools use this type of play anymore, but it is still one bf our favorites. The idea is to block
everyone on the line of scrimmage down and use the fullback to "kick out" the first defender outside
of our widest player. We then pull the backside guard to fill for any linebacker that is unaccounted
for.
Throughout the game this past week, we used this play with Chaz Johns blocking for Lucious
Lee to run off tackle.
This play, along with our isolation play, was the staple of our offensive output this past week.
We hope it will continue to be a solid play for us over the remainder of the season.

Discount or full service brokers?


By Jared Wilkerson
Real Estate Writer
In today's market, it is becom-
ing increasingly difficult for sellers
working on their own to find a buyer
for their property.
At this point, it
doesn't even nec-
essarily have to
"be a problem with
the price at which
the home is mar-
keted. There are
just fever buyers,
nImaking the need
for professional
marketing and exposure higher than
ever.
As a result, the sellers who were
hoping to accomplish their moves
without turning to a professional are
now deciding it is best to do so in
record numbers. Real estate profes-
sionals are now loving it. Listings
are so easy to come by that pros-
pecting for them has now become a
secondary part of business planning
for an agent.
That's .all fine and good for the
agents, but what about the hom-
eowners? Since they had initially
hoped to save on the commission
paid for an agent's services, many
sellers are" hoping to slowly edge
their way up the ladder to the next
step, which usually involves hiring
a discount broker, rather than a full
service one. Let me jump ahead
a bit and say that, unfortunately.
homeowners who list with discount
brokers usually end up having these
listings expire without a sale, then
having to hire a full service broker
afterward to clean up whatever hap-
pened with the discounter.
I want to make one thing clear
before moving on: This is not an
article designed solely to usurp the
discount broker. I don't intend to
name companies or point out indi-
vidual bad records. That's just mean
spirited and I don't consider it to be
very professional. However, there
are some general statistics and com-
mon scenarios which homeowners
may want to consider before select-
ing a company with which to list
their home.
I would also like tq point out that
I do, in fact, work for a full service
broker. On whatever merit it war-
rants me, the information I will
relay in this article is fact only. List
with me or some other full service
broker, if you will, but this is not an
attempt to solicit business. These
are simply the facts, as far as real
estate trends go.


is required to sell your home at top
dollar in the current market, then, if
I were a discount broker marketing
your home at a lower percentage
rate, which of these 1 percent would
I be most likely to take money away
from if I didn't take it from you as a
seller at the listing appointment?
It's a loaded question. But the
obvious answer is that my office's
bills still have to be paid. Also, I,
personally, am not in this business
to work for free. Therefore. if I
have to lower my commission, then
I'm taking it out of the areas of mar-
keting which I know good and well
are absolutely necessary to sell your
home at top dollar.
That is the same business
model that discounters run on.
Unfortunately, we don't see a high
number of the marketing tools we
know work being used by discount
brokers. For them, it is more or less
a game of using their license to put
a listing in the MLS and then hop-
ing for the best.
Secondly, the companies that
claim to market and sell properties
at a flat fee. and I hate to say it like
this but it is the truth, are mislead-
ing sellers from the start. This flat
fee applies only if one of their own
agents (most likely the listing agent,
themselves) sells the property on
their own. As an agent, selling
your own listing happens so rarely
that we call it "having a birthday,"
because it might happen once a year
out of twenty or thirty listings.
In order to get full asking price,
these flat fee companies will con-
vince sellers to put the home on the
MLS in order to have other agents
show it, as well. But in order to
(See Page 2)


When I first got my real estate
license., I, too, had to choose \\ heth-
er to work with a discount or full
service broker. I had several offers
for positions with numerous com-
panies with whom I interviewed.
I made that choice based on the
market trends which laid out suc-
cess and failure for both agents and
homeowners alike. Here they are.
Again, they are just the trends and
statistical facts.
For example, did you know that
regardless of whether a company is
considered discount or full service,
their electric, heating and cool-
ing bills for their offices are pretty
much the same? They also pay
similar amounts for their mortgage
on their office locations. It costs
the same dollar amount for me, as
a full service agent, as it does for


a discounter to order a virtual tour
on one of my properties arid to have
that % irttual tour uploaded to all of
the major internet home-search
engines. The cost of running the
business is all the same, no matter
what commission we charge.
As agents, .we are also, equally,
people; people with bills of our
own.. People with families and
households to keep running. Which
means that we are all in business to
make a profit. That profit is what
we use to make our living. So, if
one percent of my commission to
sell a home goes directly to the bro-
ker to pay the bills at my office and
another percent goes directly to the
money that translates into my profit
on a sale (in other words, to me) and
another percent is directed solely
. toward the marketing which I know

Full service or discount broker?


(From Page 1)
have other agents show the
home, you (as the seller) will
have to offer a compensation
(it's the MLS rules to do so)
to agents who bring buyers
around. Once you add the
buyer's agent's commission
onto the price, it is almost
like listing with a full service
company anyway.
Then we have to take a look
at one of my favorite stats; the
List-to-Sale ratio. Discount
brokers are renowned for
convincing sellers to ask too
high a price for their homes.
It just looks that much bet-
ter when they're discussing
a seller's bottom line at the
listing appointment. "I know.
the other agents told you to
expect this much for your
home, but we feel that with
the proper marketing, we can
get this..."
That seals the deal for
most sellers. In reality, what
the sellers have just done is
made their home an active
billboard for the discount-
er's buyer lead call genera-
tor. Buyers call based on the
sign in your yard, but when
they hear the price, they say
it's too high and the discount
agent tells them something
along the lines of, "Well,
there are many other homes,
being offered at market value
in the neighborhood... why
don't we set an appointment
to look at those?"
In essence, your home is
now working to sell other
properly priced homes in the
neighborhood. And think
I about it,- why would that
agent sell your home for no
extra money than the flat fee
they are charging when they
can just as easily take that
qualified buyer over to one
of the full service broker's
homes and receive a full com-
mission for the sale. Weigh it
out...no extra money, verses
a few thousand dollars extra
on a full service listing's
sale. Which would you, as
real estate agent and business
person, choose to show and
sell?
Therefore, the amount
that discounters tell sellers
to expect for their homes is
rarely what they get. Sellers
will be convinced to con-
tinually lower prices until
their homes are priced below
market value, just to force a
sale.
So, how bad is it? Well,
the largest discounter in the
Northeast Florida area is rid-
ing at just 94% of the origi-
nal asking price for closed
sales. That means that it
costs an extra $6,000.00 per
$100,000.00 of asking price
just to sell with a discount
broker. They also have the
highest number of expired
listings, i.e., homes that
didn't sell at all. These are
the stats. I run them myself
every month.. They are cor-
rect. Any seller or discounter
who would like me to prove
it is welcome to find my ad
'in this paper and call me for
the numbers.


Basically, not only did it
just take several extra months
to sell with a discount bro-
ker, but the seller also had to
accept less than they would
have gotten for their home
had they listed it with a full


service broker who would
have been upfront with them
from the beginning. That flat
fee doesn't sound so good
now, does it?
I hear this every month
from the countless sellers
who list with me and the other
agents in my office following
a nasty bout with a discount
broker following the expira-
tion of their listings.
One of the worst possible
scenarios involves a particu-
lar company that is totally
based online. All I can say
is that if someone did, by
chance, come to your home
to see it based on the online
ad provided by this conm-
pany, who would make the
time to show it? Well, you
would. And who would help
to negotiate the price 'at
arm's length,' as suggested
by every real estate school
of thought? No one would.
Sellers basically pay these
sen'ices to send them buy-


ers who will probably never
even show up, then if they
do, have,no education what-.
soever as to whether or not
your price is good; meaning
that they will undercut you
at every turn, just to feel like
they are getting a good deal.
In closing, are discount
brokers good for certain
markets? You bet. But not
this one. When sellers could
probably do just as well to
sell on their own with a sign
in the front yard and an ad
or two in the local papers,
discounters can make sell-
ing a home pretty easy. But
it's pretty easy during that
time anyway. In a market
like the one in which we
find ourselves now, discount
brokers aren't doing sellers
any favors. It takes a certain
number of marketing tech-
niques to get a home sold
nowadays, and the discount-
ers just don't offer them.
Basically, you end up pay-

Fall is a great time to prune


THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday. September 28, 2006 Page Three-B


You may think that the
approach of the end of the
growing season means you
can stop worrying about
the trees in your landscape.
Think again!
Fall is one of the best
times to examine the safety
and health of your trees, say
experts in tree care. Why?
With the leaves off, cracks,
defects and deadwood are
easier to see. Also, with win-
ter storms approaching, haz-
ards should be removed now
before they damage prop-
erty.
Some homeowners worry
that arborists will not be able
to determine deadwood on
a tree when the leaves are
off. "On the contrary," says
Gerstenberger, "This is the
best time for an arborist to
locate deadwood by looking
for changes in color, fungus
growth, cracks, and other
symptoms that can help
them make this determina-
tion. Since the leaves are off,
the view of the entire tree's
architecture is clear and a
thorough check can be per-
formed."
Pruning is much more than
the simple act of sawing off
limbs. Proper pruning is an
art-based on scientific prin-
ciples of plant physiology.
At its most basic level, prun-
ing trees involves removing
damaged, dead or structur-
ally weak limbs, which will
C improve a tree's health and
reduce the chances of per-
sonal or property damage
caused by falling limbs.
Professional arborists have
the capability to make the tree
safer and more attractive by
pruning live growth as well.
Proper pruning encourages
growth, increases flower and
fruit production, improves
plant health, repairs dam-
age and helps add aesthetic
appeal to a tree. Pruning at
the right time and in the right
way is critical, since it is pos-
sible to kill a tree through
neglect or over-pruning.
How can a homeowner
know if an arborist will prune
a tree correctly?
"Ask the arborist if
they prune according to
the American National


Standards Institute standard
for tree pruning, which is
called ANSI A300," says
Gerstenberger.
This standard requires that
the recommended use of cer-
tain tools, cutting techniques,
and pruning methods be fol-
lowed, and sets the standard
definitions for terms the
arborist will use in your esti-
mate. Properly written work
estimates for tree pruning
should be written in accor-
dance to ANSI A300 stan-
dards.
In addition to the informa-
tion given on the work esti-
mate, ANSI A300 sets some
guidelines for basic prun-
ing practices that arborists
should follow. If an arborist
is adhering to the ANSI A300
pruning standard they:
will not leave branch
stubs
will make few or no head-
ing cuts
will not cut off the branch
collar (not make a flush
cut)
will not top or lion's tail
trees
will not remove more than
25 percent of the foliage
of a single branch
will not remove more than
25 percent of the total tree
foliage in a single year
will not damage other
parts of the tree during
pruning
will not use wound paint
Homeowners who would
like a professional arborist to
assess their trees should con-
tact the Tree Care Industry
Association (TCIA), a 68
_ year old public and profes-
sional resource on trees and
arboriculture. It has more
than 2,000 member compa-
nies who recognize stringent
safety and performance stan-
dards and who are required
to carry liability insurance.
TCIA has the nation's only
Accreditation program that
helps consumers find tree
care companies that have
been inspected and accred-
ited based on: adherence to
industry standards for qual-
ity and safety; maintenance
of trained, professional staff;
and dedication to ethics and
quality in business practices.
