Death is

likely due

to drugs
The death of a young Baker
County man during the early
morning hours of September
29 was likely caused by a lethal
cocktail of alcohol and prescrip-
tion medication.
Willianm S. Rhoden. 20, was
found about 6:30 am by his moth-
er Jawvan )lying next to her vehicle
in the yard of their residence off
Oakridge Loop north of Glen St.
Mary. She was leaving the house
for work at the time.
Rescue workers and staff at
the Fraser Hospital emergency
room made repeated attempts to
revive Mr. Rhoden. but he w'as
pronounced dead about 50 min-
utes later.
Sheriff's investigator Steve
Harvey said the cause of death
awaits a report from the medi-
cal examiner in Gainesville, but
based on statements from two
acquaintances who were with
him the previous night it appears
Mr. Rhoden overdosed on the
drug methadone.
Based on a tip from the vic-
tim's brother, investigators inter-
viewed Jordan Satterwhite, 20,
and Garrett Simmons, 21, both
of Macclenny. Mr. Simmons es-
timates Mr. Rhoden consumed
nine beers between 4:00 pm and
midnight, along with 16 pills.
The trio joined several other
acquaintances at a residence in
Cypress Pointe in northeast Mac-
clenny, and Mr. Rhoden report-
edly admitted to taking 13 pills
to prevent a deputy sheriff from
ending them.
Deputy Garrett Bennett and
other of cers stopped a vehicle
driven by Mr. Satterwhite as it
left the subdivision just after
midnight. The of cer, about 20
minutes earlier, warned the sev-
en revelers to quiet down as they
milled around the front yard of
the residence of Brock Brooks,
another acquaintance who re-
portedly is in jail.

later when the gathering re-con-
vened outside the Kangaroo con-
venience store on US 90 across

'Wrangle in some fun'

at the '06 county fair

The theme for the 2006 Baker County
Fair is Wrangle In Some Fun!
Fair president Cathy Rhoden has been Fair
involved w ith the fair for over 20 years.
The theme for this year's fair was adopted Schedule
from the western theme of The Florida Sch d l'.'
Federation of Fairs convention she attend- page 5
ed in Jacksonville last April. page 5
Attendance at the fair in recent years
a- erages 12,000 during the week-plus run.
Several thousand people attend on the busiest nights, which usually
feature a special attraction. The larger crowds are expected for pro-
grams such as the Disc-connected K-9s Dog Show and World Wide
Rodeo.
New this year is Las Vegas hypnotist Justin James, whose family-
oriented shows are heavy on comedy. There will also be several kara-
oke contests sponsored by the fair association throughout the week.
The contests are open to all performers. Pre-registration just before
the contest will be required and contestants must supply their own
music CD.
Visitors can count on the livestock events and sales, youth pro-
grams, the arts and crafts, horticultural and home arts competitions,
the Fair Queen pageant, Star Search, commercial booths, lots of
entertainment and more.
"Our goal is to keep the Baker County Fair family oriented and
affordable," said Ms. Rhoden. "There should be something for every-
one. So saddle up and ride on over and have fun!"

Mr. Rozos' appearance before
the commission this week was
arranged by Sheriff Joey Dobson,
who has in the past pushed for an
expanded jail and accompanying
sheriff's department headquar-
ters to replace the 30-year-old
facility behind the courthouse.
By mentioning the "fear fac-
tor." Mr. Rozos referred to past
reluctance by both commission-
ers and the county's informal
building facilities committee to
undertake a $25 million proj-
ect like this without occupancy
guarantees by federal agencies.
For nearly 30 years,, Baker
County has operated county jail
at a net pro t by boarding federal
prisoners in the custody of the
Marshal's Service. As the num-
ber of local inmates swells with
population and other factors,
fewer revenue-producing beds
become available and the county
has witnessed a corresponding
drop in revenues.
Sheriff Dobson, who spoke
brie y before Mr. Rozos, told the
county board the jail produced
$728,000 in federal revenue in
the scal year that ended last
weekend, down considerably
from the $1 million-plus in re-
cent years.
"If anyone ever needed a new
detention facility, Baker County
does," he declared.
If the county signs on to the
plan, it will most likely be mod-
eled closely after a 444-bed jail
under construction in Glades
County, Florida, with a popula-
tion just over 11,000, less than
half that of Baker County.

was used for, and that will be one
of Mr. Cone's inquiries as well.
Mr. Rozos, a 30-plus year vet-
eran of the federal immigration
and customs service, indicated
in a letter to the sheriff in July
his agency (ICE) is formulating
a ten-year interagency plan for
Florida. Baker County could t
nicely into that plan, he suggest-
ed, though all he could promise
is the local plan would be evalur-
ated "in a fair and impartial man-
ner."
The immigration agency is
bound up presently trying to
control the ood of illegals, and
Mr. Rozos indicated twice dur-
ing his address to the local board
he does not expect this adminis-
tration nor the next to "stop this
madness."
The result, he reasons, is a
continuing need for detention
space.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcement currently has an ar-
rangement similar to that planned
for Glades County with Wakulla
County south of Tallahassee.
He gave no population g-
ures for ICE or other detainees

there, but noted the per diem rate
jumped from $40 to $55 a day
after a new jail was completed.
Baker County currently gets
$48 daily for each federal pris-
oner. According to Chief John
,Finley, who oversees jail op-
erations here, the population on
Tuesday of this week was 138,
29 of whom were federal.
The jail has a bunk capacity of
130. Prisoners sleep on the oor
when the capacitN is exceeded.
Lt. Finley said in September,
the jail averaged 152 inmates
daily and 25-30 were-federal.
Board members appeared,
more enthusiastic this time
around, and Mr. Cone will try
to. have more information by the
October 16 meeting. Architect
Bill Rutherford of Tallahassee,
who designed the Glades project,
was to have been at this week's
meeting but had a con ict.
"I'm thrilled now that Glades
County has gone through this."
commented Commissioner Gor-
don Crews. "It sounds like a
great opportunity to me."
Chairman Alex Robinson like-
wise observed that using revenue
from boarded prisoners is a good
way to pay off the construction

debt.
"We need to look at a new
jail anyway, and this is a way we
can do that," he said, urging a re-
port bick on speci cs as soon as
practical.
Based on a broad estimate,
Sheriff Dobson says a 450-bed
jail here will cost $23 million and
that doesn't include purchase of
the 15-20 acres on which it will
sit.
He continues to favor a tract
east of Macclenny near the Wal-
Mart Distribution Center, prop-
erty now owned by Rayonier.
which indicated last year ago it
was not anxious to sell.
Sheriff Dobson can also ex-
pect opposition from Executive
Director Ginger Barber of the
Development Commission, who
argued earlier the jail lessens the
attractiveness of adjoining Enter-
prise East to industrial and com-
mercial prospects.
Desirability of the Trailridge
site may diminish also if it can-
not connect to Macclenny's wa-
ter and sewer system. The city
has declared the current plant at
capacity once several planned
subdivisions are built.

Dogs diefrom

likely poisoning
A Glen St. Mary man reported
September 28 two of his dogs
were apparently poisoned with
pieces of bread soaked in anti-
freeze.
Terry Willis told police a vet-
erinarian diagnosed the poison-
ing after the dogs became ill the
previous day. He found the bread
on his mother's property next
door off Saddle Trail and it ap-
peared to have been soaked in a
green liquid. The dogs roamed
freely between the yards.
The veterinarian said.the ani-
mals were too sick to save and
they were euthanized.
Deputy Brad Dougherty in-
terviewed a neighbor off Travis
Thomas Road nearby and she
knew nothing of the incident.
Mr. Willis told the of cer of an
ongoing feud with neighbors on
Travis Thomas and Travis Rho-
den Trail.

Stored items stolen

Someone entered a storage
yard at the rear of Macclenny Cy-
cle and Marine off west Lowder
St. overnight October 1 and took
three vehicles valued at $6300,
two of them awaiting repairs.
Owner Clarence Williams
told police a gate was cut to gain
entry, and the .stolen vehicles
include a yard tractor valued at
$2800, a go-kart at $3000 and a
utility trailer worth about $500.
A surveillance camera record
was turned over to the sheriff's
department.'
In other burglaries, some-
one made off with a single-axle
trailer from the parking lot of the
local Mormon church between
6:00 am and noon on September
27. ,
A lock was cut and left lying
on the pavement. The trailer had
a Boy Scout emblem on the dou-
ble rear doors.
Brandi Combs reported on
September 25 a front door was
pried to gain entry to her resi-
dence on Glenn Williamson
Road during daylight hours.

The youth admitted entering

IMPRESSIONS
JIMMcGAULEY

We read polls and pun-
dits predicting the demise of
Republican majorities in both
houses of Congress.
We wince at the news this
week of one, of our own Florida
congressmen flitting away
his time banging out. seduc-
tive instant messages to young
House page male pages.
Republicans, who since 1994
ha e maintainedrespectable (don't
confuse that with "respected.")
majorities in, the House and
Senate, could see tall slip away
early next month.
They may \"ell deserve to
lose the majorities, not because
the Democrats have better can-
didates to replace them, but
because they've done such
shameful disservice to the Amer-
icans who put them there.
None of us enjoy reports of
squalid behavior like that of Rep.
Foley, but I'm nearly as disap-
pointed in the fact that Congress
got so damn little done the past
two sessions.
Why, oh 'why ha\ en't we
put in motion the machinery to
reform the Social Security sys-
tem?
More than a dozen plausible
and probably workable plans are
out there; yet-none saw the4ight
of day. The pending disaster 30
years from no\\ (or sooner) is
still out there roaring toward us
at full speed.
Go down the list:
Health care reform is another
.speeding train, and Republicans
deserve equal blame for keep-
ing meaningful reform on square
one.
S t % ill gef bad enough that
(and this is true irony) the gov-
ernment itself will have to jump
in and save our health care sys-
tem which, with all its flaws,
greatly outshines any other sys-
tem in the world.
As for tax reform, nothing
of any substance has been pro-
posed. The tax cut hallmarks of
the Bush administration should
be made permanent. The capital
gains tax should remain at 15
percent, or better yet, be phased
out entirely.
Immigration reform. What a
joke! Both parties fretted about
upsetting the Hispanic voting
base someone said was out there,
a formidable political force that
probably doesn't exist.,
Hispanic people in this coun-
try legally resent the ones who
aren't.legal, and are just as like-
ly to resent lax enforcement that
makes a mockery of their good
faith efforts to become citizens
of the United States.
So, you can stew in your
scandals and worry about which
of the two major political parties
best serves the long term inter-
ests of the people.
They've both had a chance in
this disgrace we'll remember as
the 109th Congress. They, all of
them, are the true scandal.

City passes record budget

at Saturday morning meeting

ii (From page 1)
special meeting to counter what
Mr. Dopson described as infer-
ences in "the media" lately that
he shortchanged police ahd re
budgets.
He referred to a recommenda-
tion last month two new deputy
sheriff and two full time re de-
partment positions be cut back to
one until later in, the year when a
clearer picture emerges on avail-
able funding.
The commission in an earlier
budget hearing approved both.
"There's talk out there that I
favored cutting back on public
safety," Manager Dopson said.
"Our record is proven, we have
always been committed to public
safety. My concern was making
sure full funding is there rst."
His sentiment was echoed by
Mayor Gary Dopson.
"I can't remember ever short-
ing the re department; we never
turned them down [on funding
requests]," asserted the mayor,
adding the city has likewise
passed additional funding for the
sheriff's department when funds
allowed.
"And what we've given to the
sheriff is additional to what city
taxpayers are already paying,"
added Mayor Dopson, repeating
a position he has often taken.
Commissioner Vernon Ben-
nett af rmed he supported Man-
ager Dopson on the funding al-
teration.
"I've been on this board 19
years. When he [the city manag-
er] says we need to make chang-
es [on funding matters], I'm go-
ing to listen to him."
Manager Dopson also cited
"misleading" reports that the city
was holding up sale of the for-
mer health department to a Jack-
sonville developer.
Macclenny's sign ordinance
forbids off-site signs on adjoin-
ing property, and the Walgreens
store planned for the comer of
South 6th St. and Lowder sought
a sign at South 5th to the east.
The property is owned by
Baker County and leased to the
post of ce. The Sleiman devel-
opment rm of Jacksonville and
Walgreens proposed joint owner-
ship of a small strip that connects
the two parcels, but Macclenny
rejected the plan.
"Next thing I heard we were
holding up the sale. We still

haven't heard back from them," ;
the manager said. -"As soon as'
we do and we can approve it, we
will."
Mr. Dopson said he and city
attorney Frank Maloney felt the
joint ownership plan was an un-
acceptable loophole and left the
city open to criticism for bending
the rules for Walgreens.
I Commissioner Phil Rhoden
complained his position on the
planned city hall addition was
"misconstrued in the media."
He favors the project and voiced
concern about availability of
funds and nancing.
Commissioners after the meet-
ing acknowledged the inaccura-
cies were published in articles
written by Melissa Burnsed in
the Standard newspaper.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday October 5, 2006 Page 6

County reduces

open container law

to a civil infraction

The Baker County Commission this week established a civil ne
for having open containers of alcohol in public.
The ordinance tags the ne to that of the state for having open con-
tainers in vehicles, and removes the criminal nature of the offense.
The same system will now apply to any other Baker County ordi-
nances that were formerly considered criminal matters, like the pur-
chase of alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
The ne for open containers in vehicles recently went from $74-
$76, according to Clerk of Courts Al Fraser, who was present at the
October 3 afternoon meeting.
The matter arose because state prosecutors no longer handle cases
involving criminal violations by local laws, and county attorney Terry
Brown urged the board to reduce such violations to ciil infractions.
Similar to traf c violations, tickets are issued and nes can be
mailed in or paid at the clerk's of ce. Failure to pay results in a $500
ne and other potential penalties.
In other matters, Commission Chairman Alex Robinson agreed to
represent the county on a regional board that has input on federal high-
way spending. Mr. Robinson will also join a screening committee that
will soon consider proposals for the job of county traf c and transpor-
tation consultant.
Other committee members are Superintendent Robert Fletcher of
the road department, Planning Director Ed Preston and County Man-
ager Joe Cone.
R.H. Davis of Macclenny asked to be replaced as chairman of the
Tourist Development Committee formed in 1998 to build a civic cen-
ter in the city.
A referendum tacking a 2 percent tax onto local motel charges was
approved by voters and so far has amassed near $170,000, and Mr.
Davis urged the county to initiate more involvement with the Florida
Tourist Board.
The committee seeks grant funding to match tax receipts to build
the center.

School district seeking

re-keying hi
BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
The Baker County School
Board at its October 2 meeting
voted to seek bids for re-keying
all buildings in the district.
I According to facilities direc-
tor Denny Wells, bid propos-
as from as many as three key
companies will be sought. The
project will be funded by the
Northeast Florida Educational
Consortium.
The bids will be based on dif-
ferent lock and key systems such
as mortise or cylinder, combined
with each facility's requirement
Specifications.
The district will use Yale
Company for maintaining key
tracking records: Master keys
can bnly be duplicated through
Yale by pre-approved school
personnel and requests must be
signed off by Superintendent
Paula Barton.
In other matters, Mr. Wells
said PVC pipe and other con-
duits have been laid at Memorial
Stadium for the new sound
system, but installation of the
equipment has been temporarily
postponed.
The brackets were determined
to be inadequate to accommo-
date the new speakers which
weigh from 80 -180 pounds. A
search for suitable brackets is
now underway.
In related news, the board
approved disposal of outdated
computer equipment now being
stored in the district's surplus
warehouse.
Network Specialist Joseph
Martinez has determined the
equipment to be unusable.
According to Mr. Wells, a
recycling company has offered
a modest sum to purchase the
equipment for scrap and will
remove the surplus at no cost to
the district.
Approval was also granted
to establish an agreement with
the Bradford County School
Board for the period of August
12, 2006 through July 31, 2007

Condition

for NEFP

After considerable discus-
sion and some minor confusion
over .voting procedure, the Baker
County Commission on October
3 conditionally approved a' $1.5
million annual pact with North-
east Florida State Hospital to ad-
ministratively sponsor a 35-bed
forensic unit.
The county will have no direct
involvement in the management
of the unit that will house crimi-
nally insane patients, and the
board made it clear this week the
deal is off if staff physicians are,
uninsured for malpractice.
The three-pronged unanimous
decision endorsed by county at-
torney Terry Brown stipulates no
physicians be hired without the
insurance: the insurance premi-
um will be paid by NEFSH or by
the county with reimbursement
by the state; the county be named
as co-insured on the malpractice
policy.
Baker County will assume
payroll and other related respon-
sibilities, and the state agreed
to fund a clerical position in the
court clerk's office pho can be
used for other duties as well.
The Florida Legislature au-
,-thorized the forensic unit last
spring, 'and stipulated it be man-
aged by an outside contractor.
Assistant NEFSH administrator
Joe Intantino pitched the plan'to
the board several weeks ago on
the basis the county could aid in
fending off privatization of the'
mental hospital if the arrange-
ment is successful.
The county also has a sponsor-
ship pact with NEFSH for Baker
County Mental Health Services
and contributes $15,000 annual
rent for its Macclenny offices.
That pact was renewed this week
also.
Commissioner Gordon Crews
was the most vocal board mem--
, ber calling for protection for the
county in the event a physician
- is sued at the unit. Mr. Crews,
a nurse manager at Fraser Hos-
pital, said plaintiff's attorneys
typically go after the doctor first,
then the institutions.
Mr. Brown reminded commis-
sioners the county has sovereign
immunity and a $200,000 dam-
age cap, and predicted it would
most likely be brought into a
malpractice suit.
The NEFSH contract indicates
the unit's budget could range up-

Board members grumbled a
bit about the rising cost of oth-
er contracts with the state, but
agreed to visit the matter later.

Hidingpistol
A 17-year-old Macclenny
male is charged with possession
of a loaded .357 magnum pistol
concealed in his pants as he and
another youth walked on Quail
Lane in the west city the after-
noon of September 30.
Deputy John Harden said he
was on routine patrol near the
power lines when he noticed a
suspicious bulge in the pants of
the suspect. The officer hand-
cuffed the youth after spotting
the pistol grip while questioning
him, and minutes later the youth
produced a small amount of mar-
ijuana from a pants pocket.
The weapons charge is a third-
degree felony, and the case was
referred to juvenile authorities.
In another pot possession
case, two Baker High students
are charged with misdemeanors
following arrests on the campus
around midday on September
25.
Principal David Crawford
summoned the campus deputy
after confronting the students,
who were standing outside dur-

ing a lunch break. Mr. Crawford
said he was alerted by the pres-
ence of smoke in the vicinity.
Deputy Alison Smith said one
of the youths, both 15, had a par-
tially smoked joint folded in his
wallet. He is from Sanderson.
The backpack of the other stu-
dent, from Glen St. Mary, yield-
ed five marijuana cigarettes, a
cigarette rolling machine and a
pack of regular cigarettes, also
forbidden on campus.

plans to adopt by ordinance basic
standards for privately construct-
ed utility systems. County Man-
ager Joe Cone produced a bulky,'
highly detailed Utilities Stan-
dards Handbook, noting counties
must protect themselves from
sub-par sewer and water treat-
ment plants.
The majority of privately-
constructed plants end up in the
hands of cities and counties, he
noted.
A hearing will be held at the
October 16 mid-month session
on a planned unit development
proposed for Southern States
Nursery to allow construction
of up to 433 homes on 200-plus
acres.
Two small-scale amendments
to the land use plan will also be
considered, both involving one-
acre parcels for single-family
dwellings. The petitioners are
Richard Jenkins for one parcel;
Thomas and Jody Dyal for the
second.

came from.
The NAIS program applies
only to food animals and animals
in commerce beef. dairy, sheep,
goats, swine, horses, poultry, and
sh. Companion animals are not
affected. A youth trail ride re-
quires no reporting. At this time
4-H youth are not required to tag
their animals to be in the county
fair. However, animals going to,
the state fair are going to be re-
quired to be tagged.
One of the bene ts of the
NAIS is to be able to locate and
contain animals that have a po-
tentially contagious disease.
With this program the infrastruc-
ture will be in place to improve
current disease eradication, to
protect against widespread out-
breaks of domestic and foreign
animal disease, and to address
threats from those who might
want to infect our food system.
This program is a tool to facili-
tate an emergency management
response system. The program is
- currently not mandatory, but the
government will be evaluating
the program in 2009 to see if that
needs to be changed.
Each location is assigned one
number. Each animal from that
location would have that num-
ber. One way to tag animals is
with an ear tag with a microchip.
The producer is responsible for
the initial cost of the tag (about
$2.50). Only animals that leave
the farm for commerce purposes
will need to be tagged.
Agricultural agent Sweat cau-
tioned everyone, "Don't believe
everything that you read and see.
Get the correct information." For

more information on the NAIS
program call or visit the agricul-
tural center in Macclenny.

Ready set go! It's that time
again and the Council on Aging
is set for a big time at the Baker
County Fair, starting this com-
ing Friday evening. All our
"Elder Angels", staff volun-
teers and Board members, will
be taking turns manning the
Council on Aging food booth
at the Fair. The kitchen is heat-
ing up to do Lima beans, sau-
sage on rice with cornbread and
sweet tea. And Anna will be in
to help get those ever popular
lemon 'meringue pies going.
Anyone wanting to order a
whole pie, to be picked up at
the Senior Center after Monday,
during the day or early evening,
should come in to the Center or
call 259-2223 extension 231 to
place an order.
Mark another date on your
calendar and get ready to come
out to the Macclenny Woman's
Club, at 6:30 on October 24
for an evening of informative
and useful information. Flyers
are going up around the coun-
ty for this "Day of Decision"
Workshop. This is a "Five
Wishes" presentation, applica-
ble to all ages, and all are wel-
come to attend as seating capac-
ity permits.
The Council on Aging will
again ha\e the Senior Center
open for a "No Trick/We Treat"
Halloween Costume party on
Friday evening, October 27th
from 5:30pm 8:00pm. This
event was a great success, last
year and we are ready for even
more fun this year. This is a
family event where our Seniors
dress up and host "treat" tables
where they each distribute
goodies to visiting children and
enjoy refreshments and music.
There's food and good fellow-
ship and a prize for the best cos-:
tume. We invite any senior and
family members to dress up and
join us for fun, food & good
company.
Physical activity is an enor-:p
mously important factor in
healthy aging. The older we
get, the more important it is to
be physically active but, para-
doxically, the older we get, the
more difficult it is to stay active.
Seniors and the disabled popula-
tion should pay particular atten-
tion to maintaining a healthy
and safe physical activity level.
There are several local agen-
cies, (the YMCA, CURVES, the
Health Department, etc.) that
may offer supervised exercise
programs aimed at keeping
physically fit. Other activities,
like bicycling, are well worth
looking into for. a personal or
group activity and are begin-
ning to catch on locally with the
seniors' crowd.
Some tips on physical activ-
ity:
* Try doing some isometric
leg and abdomen exercises
while in the car or sitting for
any extended period of time.
* If you work at a desk or are
in-a wheelchair, fill two milk
bottles with water (a 2 gal
Ion bottle of water equals
about 4 lbs.) or get weights

to keep beside your desk and
lift them a few times at the
end of every hour to build
muscles in your shoulders,
arms and hands; stretch arms
by raising them to the ceil-
ing and pulling them behind
your chair; gently turn and
twist your body in several
different directions to get a
good stretch in your back..
* Don't sit for more than
an hour at a time. Get up,
move around, STRETCH
your muscles. If you. are
in a wheel chair, roll back
and forth from,one room to
another for about five min-
utes every hour or make a
trip up and down the side-
walk. Get off your bottom
as often as possible; sitting
for long periods greatly
increases the risk of pres-
sure ulcers. For more tips on
wheelchair pressure relief
exercises check out the
National Center on Physical
Activity and Disability,.
(NCPAD) website at http://
www.ncpad.org/mediassets/
Wheelchairvideo/default.
htm.
* Maintain healthy eating hab-
its, move around more and
sleep 7 to 8 hours a night.
* Remember the Five M's to
good health: Moving More
Means M1lore Nlobilit!!!

Lady Cats

finish fourth
The Lady Wildcat volleyball
team performed well in the Wolf-
son Classic last weekend with a
fourth pl'ce nish, but afterward
went into a spiral.
The Cats dropped a ve match
heartbreaker to Hilliard, then
%were plagued by errors and inju-
ries in the Santa Fe tourney and
against First Coast High School.
The Wildcats played well ear-
ly against Hilliard. taking the
rst match 25-20, but lost the
second 22-25. They bounced
back in the third 25-21, but fell
apart late, losing the last two
matches 14-25, 10-25. Tiffany
Norman and Brittany Gray each
had 6 kills and Mindy Roberts
had 4 assists.
Injuries riddled the Cat start-
ers and the girls had to compete
at Santa Fe with two JV players
in the starting lineup. Gray, one
of the team's top offensive play-
ers was lost to a knee injury and
starter Cassie Kennedy fell to an
ankle.
The Cats then gave First Coast
a tough game, but lost all three
matches.
"You hate to lose, but you al-
ways ha\e to nd the positive in
everything." said Coach Chris
Armoreda. "I was encouraged, by
the hustle and determination. The
girls were doing whatever it took
to keep the ball off the ground."
Our Achilles heel has been our
inconsistent play."
The Cats have struggled to
play error-free ball all season,
but errors have been the cause
of several of their losses. Ashley
Holton led the way against First
Coast \with 6 points. Tiffany Nor-
man had 7 kills and Kallie Crum-
mev 11 assists.
The Cats will host Union'
County on Oct. 6 and West Nas-
sau on Oct. 10. JV plays at 5:30
and varsity at 6:30. The Union
Count) game is senior night and
the Lady Cats will honor seniors
Kristin Mathis and Mind) Rob-
erts. Also, every fan will get a

BCHS boys outrun three other schools

The Wildcat cross country
team had a strong week, defeat-
ing West Nassau, Hilliard and
Yulee in a quad meet Thursday
on the Baker County High
School course.
They also had a good showing
at the Middleburg Invitational
against some tough competi-
.tion.
The boys' tear won with ease
at home and coach Charles Ruise
was happy with the result.
"Times weren't really a focus
in this race. we wanted to finish
strong as a team. They are really
starting to gel and are looking
forward to making this a very
exciting season."
The girls haven't won a lot
this season, but Ruise is pleased
with their performances and

however, Jackson's running
backs gained 204 yards on 36
carries.
Baker defenders got three
sacks two b) Rod Rentz and
one by Curtis Bennett and
recovered twxo fumbles, both by
Jared Sharman.
After giving up the early
score, the/ Cats' defense shut
down Jackson for the rest of the
first half.
Meanwhile, the offense was
able to get on the scoreboard
with a five-yard burst by Chaz
Johns, but failed on the, two-
point conversion.
At the half it was 7-6 Tigers.
The key play, of the game
and perhaps the season came
early in the third quarter when
the Cats had the ball first and

thanks to a long run by quarter-
back Carlos Holton.
"If we score, we're up 12-7 or
14-7 and would have had all the
momentum," Johns said. "I don't
believe they could have driven
down the field after that."
A questionable call by an offi-
cial. however, helped short-cir-
cuit that scenario. The Cats were
hit with a 15-yard personal foul
penalty, although observers near
the end zone saw% nothing of the
kind. There's speculation that the
official threw the flag against the
Tigers after one of their players
grabbed a Cat by the jersey and
slung him around, but mistak-
enly called it against the Baker
player.
Asked about the call, Johns
said. "There were a lot of rea-
sons we lost the game.
"I called a horrible offense. I
had us working out of the gun
and that was just terrible. We
should have been under center
in the second half, pounding the
ball. I think we were wearing
them down a little."

After Jackson took a 14-6 lead

BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Staff
The Wildcats' playoff hopes
are on life-support after taking a
near-fatal hit Friday when they
lost 14-6 at home to Andrew
Jackson High School, dropping
their district record to 0-2.
Theonlyvscenariounderwhich"
the Cats can make the playoffs.
according to head coach Bbbty'
Johns. is for them to \%in their
remaining district games against
Suwannee County and Bishop
Kenny, then hope Jackson and.
Kenny beat Raines High. The
result 'would be a three-way
tie among Baker, Kenny and
Iaines, with the Cats winning
the tie-breaker. However, if they
finish tied with Raines only,
they lose the tie-breaker because
they lost to the Vikings.
"It's disappointing that we
Had to play Jackson and Raines
relatively early in our season,
and now we've somewhat elim-
inated ourselves," Johns said
Tuesday as he talked about how
much his team has improved.
"'I know we're a much better
t4am than when we played West
Llassau [in the preseason kick-
Off classic]. If people around
Here can't see we've improved,
they haven't been watching the
qame games as I have."
Johns said the Cats' defense
has made "huge strides," espe-
cially in pass coverage. The sec-

ondary began the season young
and inexperienced.
He also cited improvement
in the team's run defense, offen-
sive line and running game.
About the only sore spot is
the Cats' passing game, which
Johns described as "not ver)
good."
"We'll focus on that the rest
of the season," he said. "We'll
have 'all otfr skill kids back- next
yeiir [except Chaz Johns], so if

we can improve, it puts us on
a different level as an offense
next year."
The Cats, who failed to win
a game last year under former
coach Carl West, are 3-3 this
season, and with four games
remaining are likely to finish at
or above .500.
"We can be a very good team
if we can keep the kids focused,"
Johns said. referring to the let-'
"'down after a loss in the season's

biggest game combined with
potential distractions,, such as
the approach of hunting sea-
son and winter sports. He also
referred to an apparent letdown n
among the fan base. "It doesn't
seem that the buzz is the same
as it was in the beginning."
'Tm not sure anyone out-
side of this football team and
coaching staff thought %\e had a
chance against Jackson.-"
As it turned out. the Cats

had a very good chance to take
out one of the best teams in
Northeast Florida, and perhaps
the state.
The Tigers struck first, mov-
ing briskly down the field in the
opening quarter to set up a 13-'
yard score by star running back
Troy Pollard, who was playing
his first game since injuring his
foot a few weeks ago. The extra
point put Jackson up 7-0.
The apparent ease with \% which
the visitors moved the ball hint-
ed 'at a long night for Baker's
defense. However, while the
Cats didn't exactly dominate,
they hustled, hit and harassed

Next: Unior
This week the Cats host anoth-
er group of Tigers, as Union
County High School comes to
Memorial Stadium October 6 for
a non-district game.
With a 1-5 record, the perenni-
al power is in a transition period,
Johns said. "They're struggling
a little bit. They lost a lot of kids
from last year... changed philoso-
phy to throwing the ball... their in
transition, to new kids and a new
system...,
"I'll tell you what, though,
they're not going to come to
Macclenny and not play hard."
The only common oppo-
nent the two teams have had is
Gainesville's Eastside High

the Tigers the rest of the game,
holding them to just one other
score, a nine-yard run by Pollard
at the end of the third quarter.
On both touchdowns. he used
his speed to get outside.
"We gave up contain a couple
of times on the touchdown ns,"
Johns said. "We knew that was
one thing we had to do, because
he doesn't run hard inside, but
even at 85 or 90 percent he's
faster than anyone we have.

probably their worst game of
the season, lost 41-22 at home
September 8, while the Tigers fell
61-24 to the Rams.
Friday's game, which is Senior
Night, begins at 7:30 pm.
The following week Friday

Scoring

Troy Pollard, 13-yard run (kick good)

Chaz Johns, 5-yard run (pass failed)

Pollard, 9-yard run (kick good)

The key play in the Jackson game was a version of one from earlier this season. It is a fullback
lead play that we ran out of our trips formation after quarterback Carlos Holton had his great run
down to the six-yard line in the third quarter. We used trips formation to manipulate their defense
into the place we wanted them. On first down we ran a 32 lead and one of our backs was at the
slot position blocking on a defensive back. We missed a block at the point of attack and running
back.Chaz Johns gained only two yards. However, one of our players was flagged for a late block,
which set us back to the 21-yard line. We never regained our composure after that.
The 33 lead is an isolation play we use to run right at the "guts" of the defense. By using trips
formation, we can force the defense to remove defenders from the "box" and give us a better
chance to be successful. After the handoff, Carlos carries out a fake of the option, which also slows
down the outside force from getting into the play.
This has been maybe the best play I have had in my playbook since I became a head coach
and it hopefully will be for many years to come.

Tyler Thomas
senior tight end had one of his best
games, said coach Bobby Johns
he did a great job blocking... back-
side cut blocks and second-effort
blocks downfield
Tyler has been an unsung guy this
season and we thought he should
get some recognition because he's
blocked his tail off and given us a
solid performer at that position
