THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Paidcirculation leader Winner of22 state and national awardsfor journalism excellence in 2006 77th Year, Vol. 31 Thursday, November 23, 2006 Macdclenny, Florida 50o Jail bond maximum is placed at $45 million The Baker County Commis- sion took some initial steps No- vember 21 toward formation of a non-profit board to construct and oversee a 500-bed county jail, and became yet more.aware that major hurdles remain before the facility becomes a reality. The board filled in some of the blanks on an "inducement resolution" la, ing the procedural groundwork for the independent board, the lease agreement w ith the county and issuance of bonds to finance the new jail in which local inmates will share space v ith others from the US Marshal Service and the federal immigra- tion agency. It placed at cap of $45 million on the package, including pur- chase of land and construction. and specified the new jail will employ an additional 25-30 em- ployees, The commission on recom- mendation of its counsel will appoint five members to the non- profit board to be know n as the Baker Correctional De\ elopment (See page 4) Father o 4 2nd victim of The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the murder of a Macclenny man at a northside convenience store the morning of November 17 is still under investigation.

Awitness told police he was ex- iting the Washing- ton Heights Grocery about 9:00 am when he heard a gunshot and saw Mr. Cr awford fall near the o Mr. Crawford front door. The local father of four died at the scene of a wound to the back of the head. Lt.

The real estate and housing slump that began nationwide during the summer is clearly obvious here as 2006 draws to a close. The balloon that was a frenzied re-sale and new home market the past two years has burst, and property priced at "old" levels sits unsold. The downward slump is most noticeable in the new housing market developments like Sands Pointe. Rolling Meadows, Heritage Oaks and Cypress Pointe that sprouted up around the fringes of Macclenny in 2006. They are planned and platted subdivisions by out-of-county companies like KB Homes, Drees and Richmond American, Watson and Maronda, all specialists in the mid-range market of homes costing $175.000-$275,000, For the time being, they are all scaling back. waiting for an uptick in the new housing market expected by mid-2007. Look at the numbers: The City of Macclenny issued 111 new home permits in 2006 through November 91 of them January through July when the market starting falling off. Had activity continued at the same pace, total permits for 2006 would be riding around 156. Compare that to 115 in 2005. Even with the downturn, the projected pace for all of 2006 will be 143 new home permits in the city. a respectable 24% increase over last Near. Outside the Cit, of Macclenny. new housing starts dropped to three permit applications this month, down from nine last year in November. In October, there were four applications compared to seven last year. "It starting slowing in the summer, but you have to remem- ber we deal [outside Nlacclenny] mostly with individuals building for themselves." said Robert Hathcox. the county's building official. "Our activity won't pick tip until some of these large developments they are proposing get underway." KB Homes, developer of the proposed Greystone subdivi- sion east of Baker County High School. is scaling back for the time being to a first plat of 50 homesites. down from the origi- nal 230 first proposed. A spokeswoman for the builder did not respond to requests for comment on the company's strategy for 2007 and beyond, but site preparation continues at the tract off US 90 in east Glen St. Mary. The residential real estate. "existing home" market in Baker County has stagnated in the closing months of 2006. and prop- erties priced at the "boom" level are staying on the market. "The wv a the market is now, sellers are ha\ ing to come down on prices it's no longer their market." observes Wayne (Top photo) 'Available' signs adorn the front yards of new homes at Rolling Meadows that have gone unsold In top two photos, construction continues in anticipation of a letup in the soft real estate market in the second quarter of 2007.

The county board decided against transmitting a cumber- some initial DRI (declaration of regional impact) application for a preliminary review\ by the Department of Conununity Af- fairs in Tallahassee. Because of the scope of the proposed Ce- dar Creek on 3054 acres \\ ith an eventual 7000 units, the state re- . quires approval and compliance with the maze of development requirements fashioned to lessen :" the cost of growth on local gov- ernment. In denying the crucial first step. the commission seemed most concerned about Cedar Creek not complying with the county's new policy that devel- opers pitch in to create high-pay- ing commercial and industrial jobs. In fact,. the first of a dozen speakers at the public hearing this week was Ginger Barber. execu- ti\ e director of both the Chamber of Commerce and Baker Counti De\ elopment Commission. In an impassioned three-min- ute address, M s. Barber noted that Brian Mala. chief operating officer of Adrian Development Group of Coral Gables, removed the "industrial development ele- ment" from Cedar, Creek's mas- ter plan. "Brian was honest with me and said he eliminated it because. they don't feel there's a market for it here," Ms. Barber told the board. "Fifteen percent of the new residents moving here need jobs, and we need high wage jobs. The developer is ignoring his responsibility." Mr. May, who along with other Adrian employees and professional planners who have worked on Cedar Creek and at- tended Tuesday's meeting, told the board just prior to the vote other entities indicated they are . interested in bringing industrial jobs here, but he did nqt name them nor where they intend to purchase development land. He argued that setting aside 300-plus acres without immedi- ate prospects is not practical since Adrian's market analysis shows ample industrial land available in this region like Cecil Field. Since 5000 of its units are set aside for the over 55-year-old Baby Boomer market, the need for jobs isn't as pressing as it would be for more, traditional de- velopment. Commissioner Mark Hartley, who made the motion to deny transmittal, said he visit Adrian's The Villages complex near Or- lando recently. "It was nice, but there's no jobs, no industry. Roof tops aren't going to do it," declared Mr. Hartley. Commissioner Ju- lie Combs quickly seconded his motion and indicated she had several "serious concerns" she wanted addressed before agree- ing to proceed with the DRI. "We're not ready yet," she told Mr. May, citing the need for (See page 4) COVERING BAKER COUNTY SINCE 1929 The county most professional and extensive source for news, classified and display advertising and real estate listings. www.bakercountypress.com .. 904.259.2400 ** 904.259.6502 Fax ., bcpress@nefcom.net 89076 881S 8 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday November 23, 2006 Page 2 %4 4 1 f %"1204014R i* % %1 PINK DSkiS 4I44%11 I 'd I as 'CopyrightedMaterial- - -- Syndicated Content Available from' Commercial News Providers" %me~~bod 'I %u aaa I a wIM 4w 0 100W 4b W ob Uw 0-f 'swi I m Wb W96 S* ow m Visa Card Best Rates Around...

"All the builders are busy trying to sell off their inentofies."., ,-Watson is running ads offer- ing $20.000 off new construction contracts at Heritage Oaks and Mr. Warren said system wide the builder is lowering its margins to : near-zero to move houses. He doesn't see the market climbing back to pre-July levels when new and on-market hous- ing rose to often unrealistic lev- els, but predicts an upswing by' the second quarter of 2007. Many economists agree with that assessment, calling the pres- ent slump a "market correction." .The continued availability of mortgage money at relatively low interestrates will feed the comeback, they add. Ed Preston, Baker County's planning official, looks at slow- downs as breathing room. "We typically have a broader horizon than most builders, usu- ally about five years into the fu- ture," said Mr. Preston. "These downturns have more of an effect on developments in the 50-100 acre range. They don't seem to effect the larger ones as much." Mr. Preston doesn't see the late-2006 slump having any ef- fect on plans of a Miami-based developer for Cedar Creek north- west of Glen St. Mary, a 3000- acre project that will eventually have 7000 homes. The County Commission this week turned down the initial bid to send a DRI application off to the Flor- ida Department of Community Affairs. "I'm wondering is it the econ- omy or the price of gas? asks Judy Gallups, co-owner of Baker Title and Escrow in Macclenny. "The last ten years we've been booming and it fell off in May or June." Title company activity is gen- erally an accurate bellweather of real estate activity, and Ms. Gal- lups believes Baker County took a hit beyond the flattening mar- ket. The spike in gasoline prices this summer turned off the spigot of potential home buyers looking for a way out of Jacksonville, she says. Naquin Chitty of the C.B. Isaac realty office in Macclenny is taking an upbeat approach for 2007, based on recent inquiries. "I'm encouraged by the great- er number of calls coming in the past month," she said. "People still want to move to Baker Coun- t) and land is holding its own." Ms. Chint notes the number of listings on the MLS service for Baker County averaged 50- 60 since summer, but.of late rose to above 100. On Tuesday there were 106 properties and 28 pend- ing sales.. One of the pending is over $300,000 and several are in the high $200s. the majority fall in the under $200.000 category and that's where she sees the greatest activity for now. So, what dohwe know? The bubble has burst no one disputes that as No\ember draws to a close. If you were a seller and wanted in on the "feeding frenzy" that \\ as 2005 and half of 2006, you've missed the boat. If You're a buyer in Baker County in '2007, and you either have the cash or the ability to get a mortgage, the slump may be working in your favor. If you're one of the large- scale developers caught in the flat zone, you've seen this before and you know how to. wait out the market. If you own land in Baker County and have a mind to sell it, you're in the driver's seat. Golly Gee look who's 43!

Her DUI drivers first observed on Highway 90 The same county deputy ar- rested two motorists for drunk driving last week after observing them on US 90 in Macclenny. Deputy Brad Dougherty said he followed a 1998 Ford pickup driven by Timothy Williams, 45,. of Glen St. Mary after, observ- ing it nearly running over a curb while turning off US 90 onto SR 121 north about 2:20 am on No- vember 19. The driver several times ran off the pavement going north from Macclenny, and 'crossed the center line before the officer stopped the 1998 Ford pickup near Paul Thrift Road. Mr. Wil- liams was unsteady on his feet and failed; several field sobri- ety tests before he was taken to county jail. He refused to submit to the breath analysis test. Just after 8:00 pm on Novem- ber 17, the same officer stopped a 1989 Isuzu pickup near Lowder St. after observing it westbound on 90 without headlights. Driver Timothy Freeman, 55, of Mac- clenny also appeared off-bal- ance and failed field tests before he was taken to county jail. He measured .155 on the breatha- lyzer, about twice the legal limit in Florida. 18 E. a cenn Av. 2,951 RENTALS OR SALES Z> Hard Water? Rusty Water? Smelly Water?

Thanksgiving tale reminds us our 'flubs' not always as bad aswe think My favorite Thanksgiving story \\as told to me b1 a family friend. It seems his grandparents, who were very poor, had been able to put aside enough extra money to buy a turkey to serve at the holiday meal instead - of killing a chicken. TH E" The big bird was lovingly and carefully prepared, along with the dressing, vegetables, rice, giblet PO1 gravy and sweet potato pie. There was .even fresh coconut cake KELLEYLI because relatives and friends were --- traveling in on the rough, rutted dirt roads leading the farmhouse and the preacher and his family %\ere to be the special guests at the dinner. Ever thing needed to be as perfect as possible. The house was spic'n span and the table was set' with the best dishes and the single good table cloth used only on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The grandchildren were really excited to be having a turkey. It would be the first they'd ever eaten. They had been thoroughly prepared to mind their manners too, because the preacher would be present. The oldest grandchild, eight-year-old Aver), Was to ha\e the grown-up responsibility of carrying the turkey from the kitchen- to the dining room table and setting it before the preacher, who would have the honor of blessing, carving and serving it. Avery was excited and very nervous at this awesome responsibility his grandparents had bestowed upon him. With his hair slicked back and wearing his best Sunday clothes, he held the large platter steady as his grandma loaded on the turkey. After she added some sugar coated clusters of grapes for decoration, she held open the swinging door that separated the kitchen from the dining room and Avery began to walk through. Over the top of the turkey, he could see everyone seated at the table, smiling and waiting. It was Avery's most grown-up experience to date and he I [ felt very important until his toe stubbed the door jamb and he tripped and stumbled forward. Tae turkey shot off the platter, sailed through the air,lhit the floor, slid under the table and came to rest right at the BA C K ,,stunned preacher's feet. No one moved or said a word. l l Avery stood in complete shock rCH at this catastrophe for which' he instinctively knew he would ANNIGAN never be able to make amends. His life was ruined. He would be a laughing stock. He would have to leave the family and wander forever as a vagabonid in foreign lands'where no one knew his 'name. begging for food. 'He had embarrassed his family and most of all his grandmother. He had ruined everything. He felt he would collapse in a dead faint right where he stood, but not before wetting his parts, thus adding to an already nearly unfathomable shame. He wanted to die. But at such moments, grandmothers are sometimes possessed of an uncanny wisdom and control of character that defies explanation. Avery's grandmother looked him straight in the eye with an unwavering gaze that communicated volumes and said gently but firmly: "Avery, it's alright son. Just take that one back into the kitchen and we'll bring out the other turkey that's still in the oven." I've thought about this story many times over the years when I've messed something up badly and was frantic to. correct it. What I've learned is, that usually it's not as bad as I think and people aren't nearly as upset as I expect them to be. There. are few things that can't be corrected if you're willing to give it a sincere second shot. It's mainly a matter of perspective. But there are those times, on occasion, when what people don't know definitely doesn't hurt them. Happy Thanksgiving.

I approach the Thanksgiving season knowing I am among the most fortunate people around. Some people may think that, is a bit strange or perhaps I've spent too much time in the sun, but even struck in the middle of the desen with mortars going off - as four did in short succession this \eek. I'm still thankful. ; First. obviously. I'm thankful for the fact the insurgents have bad aim. As I w\as sitting at my desk late one evening, as I am tonight. I heard a lo\w "w'hoosh- ing" sound pass o\ er and then an explosion. The lights went out. I groped around in the dark, and donned my protective gear. After twoo more explosions, none terrible\ close to \\here \e are, one of our intelligence gu\ s said, "That's it. They onl\ fire three times and move on." No sooner had he spoken when another explosion shook the building. So much for mili- tary intelligence which some people say is the ultimate oxy- moron. The fact they threw in a stray round was okay, but about the time it went off, the lights decid- ed to flicker back on. The pucker facidr \\ent way up for a second, but theiT realized it \'as just the office fluorescents and not the blinding white light people talk about seeing just before their de- mise. I was thankful. Besides that, being here makes me realize how much else I do have to be thankful for. I can honestly say I don't want for anything -except to see my family, friends and dog. One :of the reasons I don't need anything is the incredible support we get from home. I re- ceived a box this week from my school that had more stu ff. toilet- ries and baby wipes than anyone could possibly use in a lifetime. And about the time I start to run low on something-usually spearmint Lifesavers- another box comes in. I'm thankful-for that. When I see other people wor- rying about their finances at home and if things will be taken care of, I'm thankful for being married to whom I am married. Yes, 'we disagree about how much money I spend at times, but not anymore. I left Fort Mc- Coy in August \%ith about $100 and I still have $5 of it. My pur- chases so far--$75 on Christmas presents to send home, $20 on a flag for my school, $2 for a pillow and $1.69 on spearmint Lifesavers. In fact, I am so good at sticking to my non-budget, my \\ife is sending me more-mone). I'm so thankful for that- I might bu\ another pillo%\. I have a bed that is a real bed and not a cot.

The\ stop and let you cross the.road in front them. The gunners usually wave. It never fails to make me proud and I wish I had a better way to let ev- eryone at home know how proud they should be of these young people. But most of all, I'm thankful for the country we live in. I've never had a doubt that the Unit- ed States. is the greatest counmr ever-albeit there \%as that brief infatuation with Sweden back in the Swedish'Bikini Team da'~\, Despite th8 politicS--and I'Um particularly thankful I didn't have to sit through the recent political season and the poli- ticians' seemingly ceaseless ef- forts to mess things up.

And the reason is the people of our country, the elementary school in California that spent more than $2,000 on postage alone to send supplies to our troops, my friends and family who send frequent supportive emails and boxes, the Bangor Maine Troop Greeters, the school classes that write me. You are the reason we're here and if we can make your lives a little safer, a little better, then all of us over here will be most thankful. Have a most bountiful Thanks- giving.

She noted the present plan doesn't address how Cedar Creek's medical offices and urgent care center fit into Baker County's overall health planning. Commissioner Mike Griffis, who was sworn in earlier that afternoon, concurred with the majority, as did Chairman Alex Robinson, who told Mr. May he wants answers to those concerns. Commissioner Gordon Crews was ill and left the meeting ear- lier. The Adrian executive urged several times the board approve sending off the initial plan, argu- ing DCA will send it back from the preliminary review raising many of the same questions. In the meantime, he said the com- pany is eager to address other comments made by the dozen people beside Ms. Barber who spoke during the hearing. "The DCA wants to 'peel back the onion' and take a look at this, argued Mr. May. "To deny transmittal is to say we [the com- missioners] don't really want to find out.". Some decried the end of the rural setting of the area if Cedar Creek moves in, spoiling the rea- son they came here in the first place. Claude Revel told the gather-' ing he "ran from Duyal and Clay [counties] and reasoned Cedar Creek was little more than prom- ises at this stage lacking com- mitments form Lake City Com- munity College and franchises like a movie theatre to locate there as proposed.

They are Commis- sion Chairman Alex Robinson. retired banker Todd Knabb, re- tired Blue Cross executive Larry Payne, Ricky Davis, president of Davis Oil and Lt. Paul White- head, an officer at Baker Correc- tional near Olustee. The board was content to leave other key decisions in the resolution up to the non-profit board. They include naming of an.underwriter for the bond issue and bond counsel. Both are key advisors to the project and will require the new board to seek requests for proposals from the specialized fields. Chief lobbyist for the new jail is Sheriff Joey Dobson, who says the increasing number of local inmates (average 135) are crowding out US Marshal pris- oners who brought in $728,000 in boarding fees last year, a fig- ure that has been dropping in re- cent years. The plan calls for up to 250 beds for detainees of the federal Immigration and Customs En- forcement Department (ICE), up to 200 beds for local inmates and the remainder for Marshal Service inmates. The county has boarded federal inmates 30 years but has never had a formal agree- ment requiring specific numbers and a time period. The immigration department declines contracts as well, and that presents a problem with sell- ing construction bonds. Glades County in south Florida did it with the non-profit board arrang- ing for $33 million in non-rated bonds sold to private investors at a higher-than-market interest rate. The Glades facility is under construction with 440 beds, all but about 50 for ICE detainees. An official of the immigration agency told the Baker County Commission in October this area is prime for a north Florida hold- ing jail and promised to steer business here if the county builds the jail. Jim Swan, a New Jersey in- vestment banker who handled the Glades bond issue, appeared at this week's commission meet- ing for a short-course in how the process works. He estimated it will cost $1.7 million to sell the bonds in addition to other start- up costs, apd suggested the non- profit board keep a "rainy day fund" with some of the proceeds He also recommended a "de- sign/build"' contract to build the jail. Sheriff Dobson is pushing for the design portion to go 'to Tallahassee architect John Ruth- erford, who has assisted with some preliminary advice and fig- ures since the idea was first pro- posed two years ago. .It's likely the non-profit will have to sift through numerous making that decision, however. S T wo other under writer firms also showed up at Tuesday's meeting., pitching for consider- ation when that phase of the proj- ect gets underway. Representa- tives discussed different avenues of bond financing and manage- ment arrangements between the sheriff's department and the non- profit overseeing the jail. maintenance' nightmares for the county road department in re- cent years due to heavier traffic loads. The board also rejected for the time being an amendment to the county's comprehensive land use plan that accompanied the DRI request. Both were rec- ommended for passage by the county's planning department and a multi-agency development group that meets regularly to re- view proposals both large and small. Had the transmittal passed Tuesday, Cedar Creek was still a long way from final approval, a fact Chairman Robinson repeat- ed several times to the audience. The DRI process requires multi- ple hearings and reviews by state agencies and the regional plan- ning council before, it arrives, for a final decision by county com- missions. DCA's first review would have been completed 'in about two months. Modest applause erupted in the commission room follow ing the vote..

Christopher Wolfe, 20, of Glen St. Mary was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm for allegedly discharging a .270 semi-automatic rifle into the air not far from the residence of An- thony Hakes. The 18-year-old Mr. Hakes is charged with aggravated bat- tery for allegedly striking a 13- year-old female from Macclenny with a wood stick. She sustained bruises to her lower back. Deputy Brad Dougherty was one of several officers who re- sponded to the report of a fight with gunshots and possibly some- one wounded, Mr. Wolfe was chased down in a 2004 Chevro- let truck driven by a 20-year-old Glen St. Mary man, who was not charged.

The program pro% ides a fo- rum that encourages teens to make wise choices and set boundaries regarding sexual ac- tivity and alcohol and drug use. The primary mission of Outspok'n is to encourage pre- teens and teenagers to remain sexually abstinent until mar- riage, which eliminates the risks of contracting a sexually trans- mitted disease or becoming preg- nant out of wedlock. In Baker County, the program serves stu- dents ages 9 through 18 in the middle school, high school and at the YMCA. A specific club exists at each location. Abstinence organizations ex- ist nationally, but students in- volved with the Baker and Nas- sau County programs adopted the name Outspok'n to distin- guish their group. The students felt the name best described the program's fo- rum for them to ask questions, gain understanding and then promote their adopted philoso- phy to the community. Through the Outspok'n pro- gram, health or life management classes in the public schools are supplemented by presentations given by health department teachers Elisha Lane and Amber Lenford. They lecture on human anatomy, statistics of sexually transmitted disease, prevention, and other related topics. For ex- ample: One in four teenagers en- gages in sexual activity and one million acquire a sexually trans- mitted disease each year. At the beginning of the school year the different Outspok'n clubs have open enrollment. In- terested students sign a commit- ment form which must be shared with and approved by their par- ents. The commitment is the stu- dent's personal pledge to abstain from sexual activity until com- mitted to a monogamous mar- riage relationship. Ann Lewis is the Drug Pre- vention Coordinator for the Baker County school system and oversees the Outspok'n clubs at the middle and high school. According to Ms. Lew- is, the monthly meetings usual- ly feature an abstinence-related presentation or activity as well as a planning and information session regarding the club's ac- tivities and promotions. , 15 and from Glen St. Mary, told police they went to the residence with the other truck occupants to purchase prescription drugs. The older female teen is re- portedly Mr. Hakes' girlfriend, and he became angry when they showed up at his residence with two other males. They and the truck were parked about 100 feet from the residence at the time. Also questioned as witnesses were Mr. Hakes' two juvenile age brothers, who along with others were slightly injured by fence wire as they fled from the direction of the gunshots. In a second, unrelated case- involving aggravated assault with a firearm, Paul Bailey, 32, of Baldwin was arrested after he allegedly pointed a .38 caliber pistol at Andy Bradford, 32, of Macclenny the morning of No- vember 14. Mr. Bradford flagged down Deputy Garrett Bennett at the intersection of South 6th and Lowder shiortl after Mr. Bailey took the former' 1991 Honda from a front N ard on North 4th in Macclenny. Mr. Bradford said he chased the accused on foot to the nearby intersection of Morris and Col- lege, and confronted him. It was then Mr. Bradford said the pistol was pointed at him. He backed away, but again followed the Honda on foot to near US 90 and South 6th where he persuaded an unnamed motorist to tail the Honda, which by then turned south on 6th. Deputy Bennett said the SUV containing Mr. Bradford flagged him down and advised the officer the Honda was in a line of traffic at the nearby stop light. The officer stopped the Honda moments later, and Mr. Bailey said he was repossessing the car. He also acknowledged he had the pistol under a seat. Deputy Ben- nett said Mr. Bailey did not have a permit to have the weapon, nor did he have authorization papers to repossess the vehicle. Repossession agencies rou- tinely notify the sheriff's depart- ment when they come into the county. Mr. Bailey did not do that, either, and said his mother dropped him off at Mr. Brad- ford's residence. She later con- firmed the repossession, but the person who sold the car was not immediately contacted. -Mr. Bailey is also charged with carrying a concealed fire- arm. Both charges are third de- gree felonies. Nursery hosts annualho/iday feast...

Driver William Bowman notified police the morning of November 13 about the miss- ing trailer belonging to Pritch- ett Trucking of Lake Butler. He parked it there early the after- noon of November 11, and it was last noticed about 2:30 am on the 13th. There was no monetary valued attached to it. Police learned three da s later the trucking company had recovered several stolen trailers in Colquitt County, Ga. where a suspect was arrested. He had been operating in central Florida. and may have a connection to the local case: In other reported thefts, Gayle i Carter told police November 12 someone removed two gold rings, coins and a .22 caliber pis- tol from a bedroom dresser area of her residence off Pine Loop in Glen St. Mary. The items were valued at $1325 and Ms. Carter said they went missing since November 3. There is a possible suspect. Mitchell Givens of Sander- son reported three firearms taken from his residence off CR 127 during a brief absence. The S5- year-old victim was staN ing in a motel during a renovation proj- ect, and last saw the two .22 carl-, ber rifles' and a 12 gauge shotgun in a closet. , He told police several con- struction workers earlier asked, him if he had any guns to sell. They were to be questioned. A patron at the Country Club-. Lounge in south-Macclenny re- ported the, theft of her wallet around midnight November 19.

For example, a program may be focused on the realities of teen pregnancy, which few stu- dents comprehend. Tent dis- plays are set up and large price tags call attention to the many areas of enormous financial re- sponsibility. Taken as a whole, the message has a strong impact on a teen's thought process and personal conduct. Students participate in absti- nent promotion activities which are often held in conjunction with media representation. Part of the grant that helps fund the Outspok'n program involves marketing support to promote the abstinent message in print, and over radio and television, usually featuring club members. Prom Night Abstinence is a big project promoted by the clubs in conjunction with a Jacksonville radio station. Six Outspok'n members from Baker County High School were recently featured in a com- mercial which aired on CW Channel 17 during prime time programming. According to Ms. Lewis, the Outspok'n commercial was seen in conjunction with episodes of Seventh Heaven, Gilmore Girls and Dancing With The Stars. "Lots of students saw their peers' on television promot- ing the abstinence message and commented on it. It got their at- tention, which is what we're working for," said Ms. Lewis. Parents, guardians or oth- er adults involved in the teen's life are encouraged to partici- pate in the Outspok'n programs and promotion activities, to help enforce the abstinence message by providing positive adult role models. Statistics indicate that it takes five years for a message to make an impact and for results to be- gin to show up in the public sector. "We're beginning to see some results from our program. At this point the results are small, but they have begun. That's en- couraging," says Ms. Lewis.

PHOTOS BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Minister BY KELLEY LANNIGAN Press Staff Several years after giving his heart to the Lord in 1966, Steve Hutcheson. a native of Jackson- - ville, felt called by God to join the ministry. Since that time, ac- companied by his wife Helen, Mr. Hutcheson has trav- eled all over the United .. States evan- gelizing, i g preaching ,revivals and doing any- ..... thing he felt i called to do for the Lord. He has also pastored at churches in Indiana. Al- abama and, Georgia.

Doing shift work wasn't con- cive to keeping a good sched- ? for preaching. Over time it ected his commitment and vision for preaching the Lord's ;d. 'I became cold and indiffer- in spirit," he said. T\ years ago, Mr. Hutcheson ?ame ill, but didn't alarm his fe because he thought it was y a kidney stone. Doctors di- Nosed a serious prostate con- ion and he was hospitalized North Florida Regional in inesville. Mr. Hutcheson remembers inking he would die. He even Id his wife who he wanted to reach at his funeral. "I felt God's judgment was againstt me," he said, "because I .lad fallen back on my promise to serve him properly." Mr. Hutcheson had been steadily hemorrhaging and the hospital was having trouble put- -ting together the four units of 0 negative blood needed to help save his life. Finally, the blood was avail- able, but his blood pressure was dropping steadily and the hem- orrhaging seemed out of con- trol. The doctors worked hard to keep him from slipping away. Mr. Hutcheson recalls a doc- tor telling him after the surgery, "You were losing blood as fast as we could give it to you." While lying in the operat- ing room close to death, Mr. Hutcheson believes he was vis- ited by an angel. He remembers that he heard a rustling sound and saw the room light up as if it were filled with sparklers. The outline of an, angel glowed by the bed, but its face remained hidden. The angel delivered a mes- sage loud and clear: The Lord loves you, but had to put you flat on your back for you to remem- ber the promises you made to for God Him long ago. VNow. go do what the Lord told you to do. The next day when he awoke,, Mr. Hutcheson's wife and nurse couldn't restrain him. "An an- i gel told me to get busy," he de- dared. I feel good. I need to get up and go preach the Gospel!" To the doctors' amazement, the pa- tient was fine. Mr. Hutcheson was re- leased that after- noon. That night, as he slept, he felt the presence of the Lord again. "I believe I was supernatural- ly healed by .the q Lord," he said. Mr. Hutcheson hasn't wasted what he believes was .a a second chance. ,,', He's made good on his promise. To- *" day he serves as the associate pastor and Sunday school teacher at Sander- son Christian Re- !.-.,/ I vival Center. He :.,.. hosts a Sunday ra- ir 'Evangeliz- dio program called Calvary Communi- ty Outreach which is broadcast at 1:30 pm on Sta- tion 107.9 in Lake Butler. "I learned in the hospital that God does indeed love me. I now want to serve him with ALL my heart," he said.

(904) 289-7000 pen 8:00 am ~ 4:30 pm IF~ Re-zonin nixed am The Baker County Commis- sion this week turned down a request by a resident off Wood- lawn Road for a zoning change allowing a conventional home on a half-acre lot. Robert Gray sought the change from a one-acre minimum either to sell off the tract or build there himself, but neighbors of the area off Larimer and Dupree roads protested, arguing it diverts from the original plat and devalues their property. Curt Tharpe, who spoke against the re-zoning dur- ing a hearing the evening of No- vember 21, presented a petition signed by a dozen others. Mr. Gray told the board he was being "piled on" because of recent protests to a proposed subdivision off Woodlawn just east of Dupree. The half-acre is' vacant and he argued it would be far more valuablee %\ith a struc- ture onit. Commissioner Mark Hartle), in whose district the neighbor- hood lies, agreed with Mr. Thar- pe that most residents moved there because of larger lot size and made the motion to reject re-zoning. Commissioner Julie Combs seconded and it drew unanimous support., In other zoning matters this \\eek. small-scale land use and zoning change requests were ap- proved for Da\ id and Jacqueline Robinson, who sought to deed five acres each to two daughters. The minimum acreage was 7.5. The motion to appro\ e con- tained the stipulation of a life- time deed restriction to prevent them from selling off the lots to non-family members. The board .granted similar changes to Claudette Crawford and her son Bentley Rhoden to re-zone 1.43'acres from agricul- ture to, commercial for mini-stor- age units. The property is at the .west end of ten acres off Hodges Road just west of Interstate 10 and SR 121. ^'The counts 's planning depart- ment recommended passage of all the changes. In other business at the Tues- day regular meeting, board mem- bers sympathized with Buck Oden about the condition of Claude Harvey Road from Glen St. Mary north to Register Road, but lamented there was little that could be done about it in the near future. The best hope for paving at least part of the often washed-out road would be inclusion in DRI plans requiring developers along the right-of-way to bear the cost. A proposed arrangement like that fell through several years ago when the property was sold. The board voted to remove Columbus Day in October from a list of a dozen paid holidays for county employees. Its addition had been proposed by a consti- tutional officer whose name was not attached to the request. Darryl Register of Glen St. Mary was appointed to represent the board on the Northeast Flori- da Regional Planning Council at the request of Ginger Barber of Macclenny, who is vacating the position to accept the board seat lot is g for smaller id neighbor appointed by the governor.

Roderick Haygood, 32, was seated in his 2007 Chevrolet pickup attempting to back it out of a ditch on the south shoulder of US 90 about 2:30 am when Deputy Brad Dougherty ap- proached the scene on. routine . patrol. The officer said Mr. Hay- good's vehicle appeared to have struck a stop sign at 139 and 90, and he was spinning tires in re- verse attempting to back it out of the ditch. The driver attempted to break free of the officer after he was ordered to exit the truck and reached into a pants pocket dur- ing the struggle as he wrestled with the officer. Mr. Haygood dropped 22 small plastic bags of marijuana while being subdued and handcuffed. Deputy Dough- erty also found a small amount of the prescription drug Xanax in a cup holder. The suspect was booked at county jail for felony possession, possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, resisting arrest with violence, possession of a con- trolled drug and driving with a license that has been suspended five times. In another drug arrest, Dustin Waters, 23, of Gainesville was charged with misdemeanor mar- ijuana possession after he swal- lowed a small bag of the drug while being questioned by a dep- uty sheriff. Deputy Erik Deloach said he approached Mr. Waters about 12:40 am on November 14 while the suspect walked east on Mc- Iver from .King Boulevard in west Macclenny. The bag of pot dropped to the sidewalk when the suspect bent over to inspect sand spurs on his lower pants leg, then placed his foot over the bag. As the officer attempted to retrieve the bag as evidence, Mr. Waters grabbed it and placed it in his mouth. He then attempted to run from Deputy Deloach, who took him down. with a "leg sweep." He was booked also for resist- ing without violence and loiter- ing. Charged with PeepingTom crime A north Macclenny man is charged in a "Peeping Tom" case involving a female neighbor off West Ohio St. The victim, Lori Wedal, 45, called police about 9:00 pm on November 15 after a neighbor telephoned to warn her a male dressed in white pants and a dark shirt was standing outside the front window of her trailer. Deputy Wayne Limbaugh saw a man matching that description when he responded to the neigh- borhood and said Glenn Smith, 52, gave differing versions as to why he was near the trailer three doors down from his. He first said he was returning movies to Ms. Wedal, then that he was at her residence seeking relief for his wife's breathing problems. The witness and neighbor who called police, Kimberly McQuien, told Deputy Lim- baugh Mr. Smith did not have anything in his hands when she saw him near the trailer. She was also watching when Ms. Wedal turned on a porch light, and saw Mr. Smith run away. The officer found a pair of binoculars in the suspect's rear pants pocket during a routine search before taking him to jail. He is charged with loitering and prowling.

It was a good start for the girls, who looked good in the pre-season with a' tournament win to their credit. It looked as if the Cats were going to have their way with the Flashes. They jumped out to a big 16-5 lead with strong shooting and rebounding. Hilliard woke up in the second quarter and by halftime, held a 27-21 lead. Baker regrouped somewhat in the locker room at the half and trimmed the Flashes' lead to 31- 35. From there it stayed even through the fourth quarter, with Hilliard winning 44-41. Brittany Hinson led the way for the Wildcats. The senior dropped in 15 points.All of them came from outside the three-point stripe. Brittaii Ruise added 8 points. Destiny de la Pena, Dean- na McKenzie, and Caitlin Griffis each had 4 points. Michelle Lo- pez had a three pointer and Kara Dupree added a basket. It was quite a different story in the West Nassau game as the Lady Cats led from the opening tip to win 59-50. "The girls responded well to the challenge to step up the in- tensity after the Hilliard game," said Coach Franklin Griffis. "They came out playing very aggressive on both offense and defense." The Cats led by eight at the half and built on the lead through the third and fourth quarters. Brit- tany Ruise was top scorer with 16 points. Hinson had 15 points including two from beyond the three-point line. Deanna McK- enzie had 8 points, Lopez and Griffis 6 and de la Pena 3 points. The girls pounded Yulee on Friday 41-19 to run their record to 2-1 in the young season. The Cats started slow, walking out to a 7-2 first period lead, then ran their lead to 10, with a 16-6 edge at the half. Coach Griffis woke them up at the half and the girls had a big third quarter, doubling the lead at 30-15 and building from there. "We didn't get off to a great. start and certainly didn't play our best game, but we played well enough on defense to.hold them to a few points and come away with a win," said Griffis. "Every- one was able to contribute to the win and score points." Hinson led the way with 13 points, 9 of which came from three pointers. Griffis had 6 points, de la Pena and McKenzie 4 points. Dupree, Sarah Trawick and Lopez had 3 points. Meagan Osteen and Ruise had 2 points and Jessi Nunn added a free throw. The Lady Cats will be off for the holiday, but take on Middle- burg in a big district game on the road November 27 at 6lpm and' 7- nm ..... ...... The Wildcat basketball team got 18 points from Thorn Crow- ley and 16 from Nate Strachen on the road in Callahan as the boys opened their regular season with a 75-56 victory over West Nassau. The win helps erase the memory of a poor pre-sea- son performance in the Baldwin Tournament when the Cats lost both their games. The Wildcats steadily built on a lead buzzer to buzzer' against the' Warriors. Coach Charles Ruise substituted freely, and got scoring from the majority of the. bench. The Cats' pressure defense gave the Warriors trouble throughout most of the game and Thorne collected seven steals as a result of the tight pla\. The War-., riors weren't having much luck on the inside against the sticky Cat defense and had to rely on three-point shots to sta\ close. West Nassau drained three pointers in the first period, but BCHS stayed even with three of their own and owned a 17-14 quarter lead. They increased it to 36-27 at the half as the Warriors went cold from the perimeter. Crowley didn't ice up, howev- er, hitting on a pair of treys early in the quarter. The Wildcats have x\orked hard on their free throw shooting and it paid off, as 10 of their 19 second period points came from the charity stripe. The Cats never really ran away with the game, but it was clear which team was tops on the night. Baker was a step or two faster and easily more ac- curate. Defensively, they were also racking up a strong effort on the boards fromni the entire team. Eleven of the thirteen 'players down rebounds. The Cats continued to build on then lead in the second half and though it was never an easy game, they were comfortably in control. Crowley and Strachen led the way offensively, with Kyle Ken- nedy adding 8 points. Delano Paige, Joe Reed and Ike Parker tossed in 7 points. Tyler Thomas had 5, Blake Rowan 3 and David Brown and Jamal Lee had field goals.. Thomas and Parker collected 10 rebounds, and Strachen had 6. Strachen also collected 5 steals on the night. It was a big improvement over their play in the Baldwin Pre- Season Tournament. The Cats fell to the Hilliard Flashes by 12 points and the Episcopal Eagles by 9 in Baldwin. The Flashes built a quick 10- point lead. and though the Cats fought back to 29-34 at the half, the Flashes were able to hold them off in the second half for a 60-48 win.: Thorne had 17 points and Kyle Kennedy had 13 points. The Episcopal game was a nip and tuck affair, but the Eagles came out on top 49-40. Strachen led the way with 15 points and Parker had 10 in a losing effort. The Cats will host Baldwin on Nov. 28 and Stanton Prep on Nov. 30. JV plays at 6 pm and varsity at 7:30 pm. Need to look up a classified ad? Check out the bakercountypress.com Player of the Week - Lady Wildcat senior guard Brittany Hinson is this week's Wild- cat Player of the Week. Hinson scored a total of 43 points over the three games the Lady Cats played this week. The hot shooting guard's forte is the long ball. Hinson rainbowed in 8 three-point shots in matches against Yulee, West Nassau and SHilliard. Coach Franklin Griffis has had the luxury of watching Hinson grow as a shooter and as a .i team leader. A four year player, she has stuck. .. it out through winless seasons and seen the team gain experience and victories. I She helped lead the Cats to a pre-season 1 30 L,- tournament title and a current 2-2 record. 1 Hinson has quickness and strength and can Ms. Hinson shrug off defenders to score. She has a quick release and is the most accurate three point shooter on the team. Coupled with Brittany Ruise, Hinson provides a good one/two scoring punch for the Cats. Coach Griffis is looking for a big sea- son from his senior scorer. %flASKETBALL.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday November 23, 2006 Page 13 Dreads the thought of Spurrier at U of Miami FAT LADY ROBERT GERARD I woke up Sunday morning and walked out to the living room where my wife was drink- ing coffee and reading the paper while waiting impatiently for the replay of the Gator game on the Sunshine cable channel. That strikes me as odd since-she went to the game. t "I want to see what I missed," is her standard answer. Today, however, she dropped a sports bombshell on me. "Guess who's going to be the next Miami Hurricane coach?" "I wasn't aware that they'd fired Larry Coker." "They haven't." "Cart before the horse," I said, heading for the coffee machine. "You want to know?" "Sure." "Steve Spurrier." "The Old Ball Coach is going to Miami?" "You heard it here first." "Sure did. Where'd you hear it?"' . "Thai's ju hat then 're sa\ ing." "'They'. are ?" "That's right," she answered "You can take it to the bank." "Well, if it's true that will leave the rest of the ACC quak- ing in their Adidas. Thai's actu-' ally not even fair somehow." It really isn't, you know. Mi- ami can get so many great re-. cruits just by being Miami, with their history of moving people straight into the NFL. Adding the Old Ball Coach to the mix should be some violation of the NCAA rules. t Spurrier is so cagey, so smart, s crafty, that when you put su- per4ast, athletes into the situa- tion, things like ACC titles and national championships will be a natural reaction. As a Miami despiser, it makes me a little nau- seous to consider it. SSupposedly, "they" claim' the Old Visor Thrower wants to leave South Carolina and that Miami has expressed interest about giving him the job. With the sub-.500 season the Hurri- canes are having and the on-go- ing discipline problems, it's a foregone conclusion that Coker is gone at the end of the season. This afternoon, I heard it re- ported on the NFL Today, so I guess Kelley and her assorted sources are right on target. I'm already dreading next season's Miami/FSU game.
