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

sag since suwumer

BY JIM McGAULEY
Press Publisher '
Baker County residents who believe the area is growing too
fast can relax a bit.
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

has put special pricing on several units already built to get
them off the inventory before January 1.

.The Baker CountN Commis-
sion by a 4-0: vote Tuesday eve-
ning there\ at least a temporary
roadblock in the %\ay of a mas-
sive residential and mixed-use
development northwest of Glen
St. Marn proposed by a south
Florida development group.
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

Housing bubble burst


(From page 1)
ing right now," said Mr. Warren.
"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!

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.

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.

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. I sleep in a trailer
and not a tent. After two or three
months of not having either, you
realize you need to be thankful.
I'n thankful for the young
troops who risk their lives every
day to help keep us safe. I see
them e\ er morning. I watch as
they drive out of our base to go
on patrols. 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. We have
it made.
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.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday November 23, 2006 Page 4


County declines to send Cedar Creek DRI


(From page 1)
funds in excess of what Adrian
will be putting up for roads out-
side the development bordered
by US 90 to the south, Claude
Harvey to the east and Cowpen
Road to the west. 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.


"Don't let this [DRI applica-
tion] leave this building tonight,"
pleaded Glenda Register, whose
family are longtime farmers and
landowners north of the develop-'
ment.

say this is putting a burden on the
taxpayers of Baker County, that's
just not the case."

dens on police and fire depart-
ments and predicted its residents

tlement. "It's like a steam engine
coming in," he claimed.
Mr. May also countered argu-
ments Cedar Creek would d place
a burden on local schools greater
than the money it would kick in
for new facilities.
"In fact' it would be a boon
for the school system since over


The county 's system of im-
pact fees, coupled with state re-
quirements on concurrency of

dispute that, but feared other
"down-the-road" costs w ith the
addition of 20,300 people before
2020. costs the\ said are not an-
ticipated in the current master
plan.
Only two speakers indicated
they favor Cedar, Creek with
some conditions. Both lived in
the immediate vicinity off Cow-
pen, \%here tracts were sold with
a 10-acre minimum. The un-
pa% ed Cowpen Road, along with
Claude Hari e, have become

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

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..

Justin Thomas, 20, was

who summoned Deputy Gavin
Sweat to the scene the afternoon
of November 13. Mr. Thomas
denied he was speeding, and in-
stead said he w\as following an-

He was taken to jail on the

also ticketed for careless driving

asked the officer to give him a

Deputy Gavin Sweat said
there were blood stains on floors;
and walls in the living room and
kitchen when he responded to
the address. Ms. Noel told him

on the, living room floor when
the alleged assailant entered and
started beating her boyfriend.
Deputy Brad Dougherty lo-
cated Mr. Harrell and his girl-.
friend Jessica, Stewart, 28, at the
Kangaroo convenience store on
US 90 east in MacclennN and
the suspect admitted to beat-

weapon was a flashlight he left at
the scene. Deputy Sweat said no
flashlight was found.
The men and their girlfriends
were drinking at the Ben Rowe
address earlier in the evening,
and Mr. Wheaton said he stepped
between the women, who were
arguing. She allegedly slapped
him, and Mr. Wheaton reacted
by pushing her, and both women
fell to the ground bumping their
heads.
Later that afternoon, the sher-
iff's department received a com-

Youth is arrested

for theft, weapon
A 16-year-old male neighbor
was arrested November 17 for
theft of yard stakes and a tele-
phone modem from the prop-
erty of Mary Bennett off George
Taber Blvd. in Glen St. Mary.
The youth, who lives on US
90 nearby, had a history of ver-
bal harassment of Ms. Bennett
and her children, and in fact tele-
phoned her cursing while Dep-
uty Sgt. Michael Crews was at
the' residence that afternoon. He
dispatched Deputy Gavin Sweat
to the youth's address, where the
stolen items were recovered.
The teen was arrested for tres-
pass, petty theft and carrying a
concealed pair of brass knuckles
in a pants pocket.
In another arrest for petty theft,
Amy Calvert, 31, of Macclenny
was charged with attempting to
steal $101 in merchandise from
the shelves of the Macclenny
Win-Dixie the afternoon of No-
vember 13.
Shoppers advised the store
management when they spotted
Ms. Calvert placing items into a
large black bag, which was later
retrieved from a rest room. She
told Deputy Garrett Bennett she
needed the merchandise to feed
her baby. The contents of the
bag included meat, cheese, ra-
zor blades, candles and hippeded
cream.

Two arrests result from shooting,


beating at residence November 14


Two persons were charged
following an incident during
which gunshots were fired the
evening of November 14 at a
residence off Anna Bell Lane in
Macclenny.
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-

'Outspokbi


abstinence


advocates

BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
Outspok'n is an abstinence
education program administered
through the Baker and Nassau,
Count) departments of health.
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.

Two-year-old Alex got a helping hand from mom Tammy Doss in polishing off a
turkey dinner with all the trimmings at Westside Nursery November 16. "He ate ev-
erything, but loved the green beans best," said Ms. Doss. Pre-schoolers celebrated
by making craft paper pilgrim hats and Indian headdresses and having their meal

Trailer


theft may


be linked
The sheriff's department is,
looking into a possible link %% ith
a Georgia-based theft ring fol- \
lowing the disappearance of a.
,truck trailer from a lot behind the
Exxon Store on SR 121 south of
Interstate 10.
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.
Raeanna McEachem. no address
listed, said she left it on a table'
and initially claimed she may
know who took- it. The wallet
contained $20, identification and'
food coupons.

"We try to get the serious mes-
sage content across, but keep the
fun in it, too," she said.
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.

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.
A f t e r
settling in
Lake Butler
in 1977, Mr.
Hutcheson
worked
with the De-
- apartment of Steven Hutcheson and w
lCorrections ing'trailer.
%here he
'-me to be known as '$arge."
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.

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

Felony possession, salc

arrest ofMacclenny man


A Macclenny man faces mul-
tiple felony and misdemeanor
charges following his arrest near
Margaretta the morning of No-
vember 18.
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.

Cats struyle in re-season,


get victory over W Nassau


The Lady Wildcat basketball
team started its season with a
tough loss to Hilliard, but re-
bounded to finish the week with
a pair of big wins. 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.

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.

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.


Patriots top in YL senior division
