A 'Mamu' Christmas 1


BY KELLEY LANNIGAN
Press Staff
Darlene Locke gives.a special gift to her family and friends every year at.
Christmas. For several weeks prior to the holiday season, Ms. Locke is busy
decorating her acre of property off Woodlawn Road south of Macclenny
with lights and a myriad of other decorations in preparation for her annual
"Mamu Christmas."
"My grandkids call me Mamu," said Ms. Locke. "Some of them came
to me a long time ago and said they wanted to'have a Christmas just with
Mamu, so we had our own party together."
The grandchildren had so much fun their mothers wanted to attend the
next year. All parents attended the year after that. Then the party evolved into
an annual holiday family reunion with friends and special guests included.
This year on december 9, nearly 175 people attended.
A 15-foot inflatable Santa greeted guests as they walked through an
opening in thgehedge flanked by two lighted candy.canes. Beside a life-sized
nativity scene, an angel with a trumpet glows brilliantly in front of a wall
that is lit Iith a me-sage "Happ\ Birthda,, Jesus.". -..
A huge oak tree is decorated with.a halo of lights. More lights outline thel
covered tent shelters under which tables and chairs have been placed for'
visiting and eating. Tall torch heaters provide warmth as well as two open
pits with roaring fires.
As volunteers work busily at the grill cooking hotdogs and hamburgers,
music fills the air. Children surround a pianist and accordian player for
jolly versions of Christmas and other songs. More kids jump nearby on
trampolines.
A 10-foot Frosty the Snowman appears and dances with delighted


Emergency

services gets

new director
David Richardson of Glen St.
Mary was named the county's
director of emergency services
on December 18 by a unanimous
vote of the county commission
during its regular monthly meet-
ing.
Mr. Richardson, 43, has been
with the rescue department both
volunteer and full time since
1982 when he signed on as an
EMT. He is now a paramedic and
was recommended by County
Manager Joe Cone on the basis
of experience and other qualifi-
cations. He has a master's degree
in public administration from the
University of North Florida and
a bachelor's from UF.
The replacement for longtime
director Rick Clark, who retired
last month, also completed the
certified public manager pro-
gram through Florida State.

children.
"Whew," breathes Frosrt. pulling at her necktie after a few minutes. "It
sure gets hot in this snow suit!"'
Everybody is busy eating, sing i ng, dancing and greeting folks they haven't
seen in a long time. Lots of people remark over the taste and colorful stripes
of a special dessert called Punch Bowl Cake made with layers of pudding.
fruit, nuts and cake all in one bowl.
The highlight of the evening, however, is the anival of Santa Claus.
All of a sudden, reindeer bells can be heard in the distant darkness and
children's eyes get huge as they realize who is coming.
Suddenly Santa appears at the edge of the yard, accompanied by Mrs.
Claus and three elves dressed in red and green. The ecstatic children go nuts
and cameras start to flash.
"Last year, these kids got so excited they tore the lights off the hedge
trying to get to Santa!" recalled Mrs. Locke.
Throughout the evening she circulates through the crow d. hardly stopping
to eat or rest. Everything must be perfect, everybody happy and everyone
must be ackno\\ ledged.-7
N 1s. Locke's niece \licki St. John, assists with the decorating and planning
of the annual party. Her specific job is testing the hundreds of lights every
year to determine what's good and what needs to be replaced.
"We plan all year, from January to December," she said. "We find a lot of
the decorations at Goodwill and thrift stores which we refurbish and use."
It takes two full days just to get the lights on the oak tree in the front yard,
but to Mrs. Locke, such effort is worth it.
"It's the one time during the year all the family comes together. Mamu
Christmas means ev er. thing to me," she said.


The Baker County Commission
wasted little time the eveningof Decem-
ber 18 approving the closing document
and accepting a $1,475,907.50 check
for the old health department property
at the corner of South Sixth and Lowder
in Macclenny.
The base selling price of $1.515 mil-
lion is $15,000 above that originally
negotiated with Property Management


Support, Inc. of Jacksonville, which
will contract with Walgreens for a drug
store on the prime comer acre just west
of the Macclenny post office building
owned by Baker County.
The added cost is far less than
$200,000 first mentioned by county at-
torney Terry Brown when he discussed
with the county board earlier this month
the closing deadline had passed. Mr.


State could


add 120 beds


atNEFSH


for criminals

If the money can be found in the 2007-08 bud-
get, the State of Florida could nearly double the
number of beds at Northeast Florida State Hospi-
tal reserved for criminals unable to be tried in the
courts because of mental illness.
Though the Department of Children and Fami-
lies, which manages Florida's mental hospitals, is
keeping its plans close to the vest as it prepares
budgets for the coming fiscal year there is little
doubt the state will have to fill the demand for pa-
tients accused of crimes but deemed unfit for trial.
The 120-bed added allotment at NEFSH will be
for "secure" forensic beds that require heightened
fenced areas with greater surveillance and more
advanced employ ee training.
The state added 60 forensic "step-down" beds
at NEFSH south of Macclenny this budget year,
along with funds for contract employees to staff
them. That brings the number of temporary foren-
sic beds to 132, about a fourth of the patient popu-
lation at the hospital.
Generally, the step-down classification does not
require greatly increased security; in fact. some
employees speaking off the record say the criminal
patients are easier to care for than the majority of
the state hospital's current population that are civ-
illy committed.
The NEFSH campus off SR 121 originally
housed 1100 patients before the state revamped its
treatment plan in the 1970s and 1980s toward com-
munity-based care. The hospital is authorized for
481 civil beds, and the state will be eyeing some of
the buildings that have been u under used or not used
..-at all in recent. \ears. ..
".I's something that's definitely being consid-
ered, but they haven't decided the numbers yet
because the amount of money available next year
isn't known," said Al Zimmerman, press secretary
for DCF in Tallahassee. He was speaking on behalf
of Dr. Rod Hall, the program director for mental
health in Florida.
The "secure" beds are reserved for criminals
who stay past the normal 120 days of treatment
before they are discharged back into traditional
custody.
Steve Kennedy, administrator at NEFSH, con-
firmed the state is interested in the Macclenny cam-
pus for criminal beds but deferred further comment
to the DCF public affairs office in the capitol.
Florida has 2352 beds authorized for in-patient
mental health, he noted. Of those, 1416 are foren-
sic and step-down. The demand is greatest in south
Florida, as could be expected.
Northeast Florida State Hospital opened in the
late 1950s and today has a payroll of around 1200
and an annual budget of $68 million.
The 60 beds added this year are staffed by 39
employees employed by NEFSH and 35 more
budgeted by the state via a contract through the
Baker County Commission.
Spokesman Zimmerman said DCF should have
a clearer idea of its plans for NEFSH early in the
new year.

Driver critically injured as tons of trash spill onto SR 121
Deputy Mike Lagle hands over equipment to fire and rescue workers as they extricate Dorr W. Snyder, 53, of Salt Springs, Fla.from the cab of his over-
turned 2006 Mack truck the afternoon of December 18 following a two-vehicle collision on SR 121 at Steel Bridge Road north of Macclenny. The crash
occurred as Mr. Snyder, hauling a northbound semi-trailer full of trash from Alachua County to a landfill in Charlton County, Ga., attempted to avoid
a 1998 Honda that ran a stop sign at SR 23C. Charges are expected against Jamie Booth, 21, of Macclenny, the driver of the Honda who was taken to
Fraser Hospital with minor injuries. Mr. Snyder was flown from the scene to Shands Jacksonville with life-threatening injuries.

rode Ked system
Baker County officials from emergency services
and other departments will meet with counterparts
from the City of Macclenny on December 21 to ex-
plore expanding the Code Red auto-dial system for
emergency alerts to the remainder of the county.
Macclenny recently contracted with the mar-
keter of Code Red at a base annual cost of $5000.
The system is now in place with the capability of
notifying residents with special alerts. The city
sought information on the network shortly after a
main water line ruptured in northwest Macclenny
in early November.
The break interrupted water service in that quad-
rant of Macclenny for several hours and resulted in
a state-mandated "boil order" covering the entire
city before water could be used for consumption.
Code Red now makes it possible for officials
to quickly send out recorded messages to all or
a portion of city residents in cases like this. The
initial cost covers 12,500 minutes of use per year,
an amount the Ormond Beach, Fla. company says

Other applicants included ex-
.rescue chief Carolyn Hodges and

K In other business during
'Monday's pre-holiday meeting,
the board approved a $35,226
i:ackage for engineering plans
and specifications on paving of
,Confederate Dr. north of Glen

future DRI deliberations.
SIn other business, the com-
;mission:
Absorbed a lengthy and tech-
miiical report by Diane Dimpe-
,io of the nine-county St. Johns
River Rural Health Network on
ithe changing Medicaid insur-
*ance system for low-income
-persons. Though she and Kerry
,Dunlavey, director of the Baker
,County Health Department, did


since 1982
not specifically mention the sub-
ject, they hinted the county may
be hit up for all or part of an ex-
pected $86.340 to participate in
the money match pool next fiscal
year.
Accepted the annual.report-
from the Florida Division of For-
estry from area supervisor Steve
Holman and William Lamborn,
the Baker County forester sta-
tioned at Pine Top.
Mr. Holman cautioned, that
the summer of 2007 may pose
a wildfire. threat similar to that
of 1998 if current drought con-
ditions persist. He estimated
ground moisture "as dry or drier
thanin 1998." /
Agreed with a recommenda-
tion from the Code Enforcement
,Board to reduce a fine against
James Greene of Macclenny by
75 percent to $460.38.
The code board originally
cited former owner Rex Ingram
for excess refuse in 1998, and
a lien for $1841.50 was placed
on the property in the Deerfield
Subdivision off CR 228 in the
southeast county. Mr. Greene
inherited the tract from the late
Mr. Ingram and approached the
code board last week about a re-
duction. The property has since
come into compliance.
Once liens are placed on prop-
erty, reductions can be authorized
only by the county commission
on recommendation by the code
board.

S-aMihaliF Mann'.' who handles '

The city's system was re-
cently tested through the local
phone company and functioned
adequately, though Code Red is
capable of far exceeding the lo-
cal phone traffic load as much
as 60,000 calls per hour.
Mr. Faircloth said the system
will come in handy for more lim-
ited alerts like forest fires, fugi-
tive searches or escapees, and
Amber Alerts for missing chil-
dren. .
Threading the alert system'
through the county dispatch of-
fice at the emergency opera-

this week's meeting as the most
feasible method of introducing

hard shopping is." she explained.
"This is nothing, ou should try
the day after Thanksgiving."
No thanks. I remember when
the children were little, Kelley
and her friend Chern Hart would
get up at 4:30 in the morning and
not return until 10:30 at night. It.
,would take me six trips back and,
forth to the van to bring in all the
packages.
I guess I lead a sheltered life
-\hile mn \rife and other shop-
ping storm troopers battle it out.
. daN -to-day on the front lines of
Christmas gift buying. It's one of
life's hard realities I'd rather not
know.
The first thing that amazed me.
\\as the traffic. It \\as 11 in the
morning and the roads \ ere bum-
per-to-bumper. I'm on holiday\
break andI don't know about the
thousands of other people clog-
ging the roadways.' Lip until this
point I never understood road
rage, but as I sat for 15 minutes.
waiting to turn left into the mall,
I was beginning to embrace my,
inner road warrior.
When we finally parked, and
stepped into the insane asylum
that is the mall, Kelley bran-
dished THE LIST.
"We have limited shopping
time, so my goal is to get every-
thirig on THE LISTbefore we go.
home today."
"That's a pretty long list. How
long do you think it will take?"
"That depends on0 how many
places we have to go. We want to
be organized about this."
That's .all well and good.
These excellent intentions lasted
until we crossed the portals of the
first store. Like Dante's Inferno,
The Gap should have a sign stat-
ing, -"Abandon all lists, ye who
enter here." .
We hadn't'gotten ten feet be-
fore Kelley said, "Isn't that cute.
Don't you think that would look
good on Sara?"
I glanced at THE LIST.
"That's not on THE LIST."
"I know. I'm just looking."
I'd hear that sentence a few
times during this marathon.
Here's the thing about shop-
ping from THE LIST. I guess
you could title it The Difference
Between Men and Women Part
221.
Give a man THE LIST, and
you will get exactly \hat is on
it. It will take about three hours
of hard shopping, but you'll have
every item purchased. Of course,
the drawback is that you'll spend
more money in the process and
there's no telling exactly what
you'll get.
If THE LIST says a blue
sweater, that's what you'll get. A
man will walk into a store any
store and the first blue sweater
he sees, he'll buy it. He won't
go to five stores looking for. the
PERFECT blue sweater.
If he sees five blue sweaters,
he'll shrug and pick one. It might
be intended for an 18-year-old,
and if the first sweater a man sees
is a button-up Mr. Rogers sweat-
er, it's going in the cart.
He also won't be distracted by
such niceties as sales and two-
for-ones. What it says on the list
is what he'll get.
I noticed that wasn't neces-
sarily the case with Kelley. She
would spot something that she
wanted to buy "Remember that
this is here. We'll see if we can
get it for less at Dillards."
"Is Dillards on THE LIST?"
"It is now. You've got to be
flexible."
"Then why make a list?" That
was a man question. It got a
woman answer.

Arrests, complaints after

rash of domestic violence


A number of arrests and crimi-
nal complaints resulted as county
deputies responded to a rash of
domestic violence incidents the
past week, all of them involving
unmarried couples.
: Shelly Shumate, 27, of Sand-
erson was arrested during the
early morning hours of Decem-
ber 15 after threatening to kill
live-in boyfriend Curtis Myers,
43, in the presence of Deputy
Curtis Ruise, who answered a
complaint that she also attacked
her husband.
' Mr. Myers told the officer he
confronted Ms. Shumate on Faith
Temple Road north of Sanderson
and took her car keys because
she and a relative had been out all
night drinking and taking drugs.
Also present when he confronted
her was one of their two children,
a six-year-old daughter.
Deputy Ruise said the child
was crying and nodded when
he asked her if the couple was
fighting. The incident took place
about 1:30 that morning, and the
second child was with her father
the previous evening at their ad-
dress off Ivory Williams Lane.
The previous evening about
9:00, Jennifer Harvey, 26, told
police her boyfriend beat her-
and threatened to kill her while
holding her down on the floor
of their residence off CR 139B.
Deputy Darrin Whitaker noted
MS. Harvey's face and neck bore
signs that she had been punched


and choked.
Mr. Wilkerson fled the resi-
dence before the officer arrived
and a criminal complaint for
domestic battery was filed with
the state attorney's office. Ms.
Harvey said she was held at the
house against her will for a half
hour before Mr. Wilkerson let
her go. She called police from a
neighbor's residence.
Michelle Young, 24, was treat-
ed at Fraser Hospital emergelrcy
room early on December 14 for
two bruised eyes she received at
the hands of boyfriend Richard
Dobbs, 39, of Glen St. Mary the
previous evening. He was arrest-
ed for domestic violence stem-
ming from the incident at their
residence off Lila Harvey Road.
An argument over a pending
breakup landed a similar charge
against Ron Stewart, 40, of Mac-
clenny the evening of December
17. He is accused of striking An-
gie Hickman, 30, at their resi-
dence off Barber Loop.
Joanna Young, 25, of Mac-
clenny filed a criminal complaint
alleging ex-boyfriend Charles
Guernsey, 28, of Glen St. Mary
violated a court order by tele-
phoning her the evening of De-
cember 18. Because of past do-
mestic violence, a judge recently
ordered Mr. Guernsey to have no
direct or telephone contact with
Ms. Young.
He reportedly called her about
visitation with their child.


Shopping trip ends infight
It was a Christmas shopping trip that just turned sour.
'Lewis Karnes, 39, of Glen St. Mary was arrested the evening of
December 16 for fighting with his brother Russell, 38, in the parking
lkt of the Fastway convenience store on Woodlawn Road.
i Deputy Randy Davis, who responded to the scene just before 8:00
pin, had to fire his Taser gun twice before he and Deputy Dwight
Qroves handcuffed the elder brother, who refused an order to stand
still with his hands on a patrol car while being pat searched.
'.Geneva Nave, the suspect's 66-year-old mother, told police her sons
began fighting in the car when she pulled up to the convenience store.
. She had taken them Christmas shopping and said the older son had
too much to drink.
.' Lewis Kames x\ as charged \\ ith fighting and resisting arrest w without
x olence.'


A grandson who confessed to
a drug problem was arrested for
looting the home of Barbara Ball
on the Eddy Grade in north Bak-
er County on December 16.
Ms. Ball and her son returned
to the residence about 7:30 that
evening to find the front door
was entered and a security safe
on a porch had been forced open.
Missing were $600 in silver dol-
lars, $20,000 in cash, prescrip-
tion medication and jewelry.
Brandon Johnson, 25, of Sand-
erson allegedly took the contents
of the safe to his residence off
Hilltop Road, and also ransacked
a closet and cedar chest in Ms.
Ball's bedroom without taking
anything.
Because a knife belonging to
the suspect was found at the bur-
glary scene, he was interviewed
that evening by Deputy Gavin
Sweat, who said Mr. Johnson de-
nied involvement and appeared
extremely high on drugs. Shawn
Eiserman, the suspect's step-
father who also resides at the
Hilltop address, told police Mr.
Johnson was taking prescription
medication later the same eve-
ning, and confirmed from Ms.
Ball it had been taken from the
safe.
The next morning, grandchil-
dren of the victim found the jew-
elry and coins and Mr. Johnson
was interviewed at'the sheriff's
annex, where Deputy John Har-
din said he appeared nervous,
and gave conflicting statements.
He eventually led Deputy Sweat
back to the Hilltop address where'
the cash was recovered zipped up
in a camouflage bag and stowed
in tall brush. Mr. Johnson admit-
ted the burglary and said he needs
help for the drug addiction.

Lane in Glen St. Mary. She told
police she found pry marks on
her rear door everyday for the
week preceding December 12,
when she reported it to police.


Deputy Sweat counted $9995
in the bag and it was to be re-
turned to Ms. Ball. There was no
explanation of the discrepancy
between that amount and what
was thought to be in the safe.
He was booked for burglary,
grand theft and resisting police
by denying involvement.
In a similar case, a safe box ly-
ing under a bed at the residence
of Lonnie Combs of Sanderson
was entered sometime between
December 9-11 and $3000 cash
taken, along with a wedding
band arid documents. An ex-wife
who had been at the address off
Combs Road during that time
frame denied involvement.

DROP approved for


full time city fire staff


The City of Macclenny on De-
cember 12 expanded the existing
retirement plan to allow full time
members of the fire department
to enroll in the DROP (deferred
retirement option program) avail-
able to other city employees.
DROP, available also to coun-
ty and state workers, allows long
term workers to remain on the
payroll five years beyond retire-
ment eligibility and funnels paid-
in cash into an interest-bearing
account to be drawn out when
the worker leaves.
Macclenny Chief Daniel
(Buddy) Dugger characterized
omission of full time workers.
as a "glitch". and the commis-
sion voted unanimously for the,
ordinance that covers him, along
w ith a trio of other fire officers
nowv full time on the city payroll:-
Joey Mathis, Martin Cole and
Scott Crews.
In another bit of administra-
tive housekeeping involving the
fire department, the city board
approved a policy allowing ac-
crual of up to 80 hours of over-
time pay from."call-outs" once
they have worked more than 53
hours during a pa\ period..
The full time officers work 40
hour weeks on a 24-on, 48-off
basis and are paid time-and-a-
half above that up to 53 hours.
The banking option takes effect
above that.
In other business last week,
the commission approved a six-
year note from Mercantile Bank-
for $550,000 to finance several
repaving projects in lMacclenn).
The note bears 4.9% 'fixed-rate
interest to the lender and requires
six annual payments through
2012.
The resurfacing projects are
mostly complete and include all
or portions of Niltondale Road,
North Boulevard, Third and,
Fourth Sts., South Boulevard,
Minnesota and Florida Ave. A
section including parking on
South Boulevard in front of the
PreK/kindergarten'school w ill be
done during the Christmas holi-
day. Dut.al Asphalt is the con-
tractor.
City Manager Gerald Dopson
reported the portion of unpaved
and often impassable Denise St.
in west Macclenn\ thing inside
the cirt belongs to MacclennN
and he \ ill proceed \ith a joint
venture \with Baker County to
pave it. Macclennm will attempt
to coordinate it with the remain-
ing resurfacing project.
The city will also seek a traf-
fic survey at South Sixth (SR
1211 and George Hodges Road
to determine if it can be cited in
the future for a traffic signal.


No cattle

in $800 deal
A Sanderson man is accused
in a criminal complaint of bilk-
ing Linda Perry of Glen St. Mary
out of $800 she intended to go
for purchase of eight cows.
Nathan Keene, 39, took the
check on December 11 and told
Ms. Perry he would deliver the
animals to her farm off Fred Perry
Road in a matter of days. When
he failed to do so and remained
out of contact, she learned Mr.
Keene already cashed the check
when she attempted to stop pay-
ment.
When contacted by Deputy
Tracie Benton, Mr. Keene said ,
he had made arrangements to re-
pay the money at $200 a week, a
statement Ms. Perry told the of-
ficer was untrue.
Mr. Keene told Deputy Ben-
ton the owner of the cows in
Middleburg kept the $800 Mr.
Keene owed him. The accused
was not able to identify the own-
er he knew only as Mike, nor
give a telephone number.
He will be charged with grand
theft.
In another theft report, an
employee from Macclenny was
named as a likely suspect in the
theft of about $300 cash from the


Waffle House in Macclenny.
Waitress Wendy Hoilman 'of
Glen St. Mary said she noticed
her tip jar with about $100 miss-
ing from under a counter about
4:30 am on December 16. An-
other $200 was gone from the
register drawer.


Another unanimous vote
was recorded to re-appoint Gil
Crowser to the city's Zoning Ad-
justment Board. He will serve
another two-year term.
In zoning matters, the com-
mission approved first reading
of a request by Clarence Jones
and Catina Widemond to rezone
a tract west of Country Federal
Credit Union from single-family
residential to residential-profes-
sional office. The couple seeks
placement of a day, care center.
Also approved with little com-
ment on second reading were
changes in the land use map and
rezoning of _15-plus acres on
US 90 in east Macclennm to be
known as Barber Plaza.
The action will allow future
commercial development of the
tract on the north side of 90 as
a planned unit development. The
city last month promised resi-
dents of nearby Cypress Pointe
it would hot allow non-compat-
ible use of the tract. Owners Joe
and Evel, n Barber and Gary and
Kathy Barber said.they have no
specific plans for the two parcels
as yet.
They will have to petition
to the city for specific zoning
changes in the future.,
Macclennm also' passed on
second reading last week its
"proportionate fair share" or-
dinance to bring the city in line
\ ith requirements of Florida law
on long range planning.
Nlacclenny must submit .a
five-year capital improvement
plan and update it annually. The
ordinance phase-in next year
also mandates local government
agencies coordinate expanded
services brought about by new
development, and how the\ will
be funded.
The mandate is commonly
referred to as "Senate Bill 360,"
the numeric assignment of the
legislation authorizing it.

Six arrests in gang'street

gunfire, abduction last week


Six males from both Macclen-
ny and Sanderson were arrested
on charges ranging from aggra-
vated battery to kidnapping and
criminal mischief for involve-
ment in what police are calling
loosely organized gang violence
on December 16.
The events leading up to the
arrests, including a confrontation
at the Macclenny McDonald's
and gunfire after dark on Griss-
holm St. in.the south city, alleg-
edly stem from friction between
a group of black males calling
themselves the "Macclennry
Boys" and another known as the
"Sanderson Boys."
Deputy Garrett Bennett said
he was met by an hysterical Cris-
tin Ellis, 24, of Macclenny ion
Grissholm just after 9:00 when
he and other officers responded
to reports of gunfire in the area.
Ms. Ellis said a group of men
were in the area shooting pistols
into the air, and one of them.
Gary Carter. 21, of NMacclenn.,
twice pointed a pistol at her head
and verbally threatened her. She
also said Michael Williams, 20,
of NMargaretta, bumped her sev-
eral times w ith his vehicle before
the group left the area in three
vehicles.
Police were told by his. Ellis
and several others \\ho identified
the suspects but declined to sign
statements that the Gfisshobu St.
gunfire .\was retaliation for the
attempted kidnapping of Todd
Winfred. 22. of Sanderson from
the McDonald's parking lot. He
named Martius Holland, 24, and
Wesley Belford. 23.both of Mac-
clenny., as his assailants.
Mr. Winfred said he struck
Mr. Belford w ith a bottle after he
was forced into the rear seat of a
vehicle. and was able to escape
before being driven off by Mr.
Holland.
McDonald's has been the
scene of similar activity and
fighting before, often follow ing
night basketball games at Baker
County High School. Partici-
y pants are typically black males.
agesdl8 throughmid-20s. '
"I don't think w\e can charac-
terize these groups as organized
gangs in the traditional sense,"
said Sheriff Joey Dobson this
week. "They are groups from
Macclenny and Sanderson and
the incidents are more of a ter-
ritorial nature."
The sheriff said he has recom-
mended to NlcDonald's manage-
ment in the past to emplo\ off-
duty officers those evenings to
head off the confrontations. '

Pair arrested for theft, re-sale of $4300

4-wheeler for $80 to buy crack cocaine


The sheriff's department made
several arrests recently for thefts
that had been reported earlier, in-
cluding two persons implicated
in the theft of a $4300 all-terrain
vehicle from a Baxter man.
Mark Donley reported the
theft from a outdoor shed on De-
cember 2 and told police it oc-
curred sometime after November
29, and a break in the case came
when Deputy Curtis Ruise spot-
ted the blue Polaris off CR 229
north of Sanderson on December
10. A black male who was riding
it fled on foot.
The second break occurred
when Sarah and Tommy Jewell,
who live off CR 127 south of
Baxter, identified John Hart, 19,
of Macclenny and a 15-year-old
male accomplice as. the persons
the\ saw in the area of Mr. Don-
ley's residence the day the ATV
went missing.
The youth was driving it on
127, and Mr. Hart was driving a
1992 Saturn accompanied by his
mother Jeannmie, 47, and Crystal
Mette, 21, of St. George, Ga.
In a subsequent interview, Mr.
Hall said the juvenile took the
ATV and then sold it to an indi-
vidual they knew only as "Scoot-
er" in Sanderson. He gave them
$80 which they used to purchase
crack cocaine. They are charged
with grand theft and dealing in
stolen property.
Mr. Hart is also named in a


criminal complaint for stealing
a jewelry box containing $835
worth of necklaces, a bracelet
and earrings the morning of De-
cember 13. The victim's name
was withheld because she is 15
years old.
The suspect told Deputy
Erik Deloach he got drunk
and doesn't remember what
he did with the valuables tak-
en from the residence off Oak
Moss Trail near Sanderson.
On December 11, Mr. Hart was
with a 15-year-old male when the
youth was caught attempting to
steal a baseball cap from Sports
Shack in Macclenny. Both sus-
pects were ordered via trespass
warrant to stay away from that
.store and adjoining Hagan Ace
Hardware.
In another arrest for a theft re-
ported earlier in December, Don-
terio Wishop, 21, of Jacksonville
is charged with stealing jewelry
and guns from the residence of
Bonita Varnes off CR 23A north.
He was a construction worker at
the residence during a remodel-
ing at the time, and pawned the
jewelry at three branches of Cash


America in Jacksonville. It was
subsequently recovered.
Mr. Wishop told sheriff's in-
vestigators he sold the three fire-
arms on the street for cash.
Deputy Deloach was acting
on a tip when he came across
Henry Williams, 24, of Glen St.
Mary seated in a 1999 Chevrolet
S-10 truck he is accused of steal-
ing from Julie Starling of Mac-
clenny on December 8.
Ms. Starling reported the
missing vehicle when Mr. Wil-
liams, who is acquainted with
her and who used the vehicle
with permission before, failed to
return it. The arrest and vehicle
recovery were on December 12.

Forward Caitlin Griffis is,
this week's Player of the Week.
She pulled down 16 rebounds
and added 6 points for the Lady
Wildcats to help defeat Yulee 42-
40 last Thursday night.
Griffis, daughter of Coach
Franklin Griffis, is as much a
center as a forward and when the
5'8" junior is on her game, she
can be ph\sicallh imposing. She
is averaging close to 8 rebounds
a game and though she is not a
prolific scorer. can be counted on
for five points a game..
Griffis has been a key factor
in the Lady Cats' posting a five
game winning streak going into
the holiday break. She controlled
the boards against Yulee and
pulled down some key rebounds
to help hold off a furious charge
in the final minutes.
She will face a tough test
when the Wildcats return from
the holidays. She will face off
against a very physical Bradford
County team. The Tornadoes
were a playoff team last season
and the Wildcats will want very
badly to snatch a win.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday


Two arrests


for cart theft

Two persons have been
charged and more arrests may
follow for the theft and vandal-
ism of a golf cart belonging to
Hyram McCormick off Richard-
son Road south of Sanderson on
December 9.
After being driven around the
area off Mud Lake Road where it
was stolen, the cart was located
at Deerwood Circle in east Mac-
clenny on December 15, where
Melburn Bailey initially said it
was brought for him to repair it.
Mr. Bailey, 26, who has a Sand-
erson address, was later charged
with dealing in stolen property
for allegedly purchasing the
cart for $30. He denied also giv-
ing two juvenile males, age 15,
a marijuana cigarette as added
payment.
One of the 15-year-olds, along
with another male age 17, are ex-
pected to be charged with grand
theft of the cart valued at $4000.
They and others later cut the top
off the vehicle and were seen rid-
ing in it by at least two witness-
es. One of the youths was out of
town last week, the other, could
not immediately be located..
Deputy Curtis Ruise made
the initial report on the theft, and
handed over the investigation to
sheriff's investigators Lt. Chuck
Brannan and Steve Harvey.
In other cases involving ve-
hicle thefts, the boyfriend of a
Glen St. Mary woman who said
her 1990 Cadillac was stolen
during the early morning hours
of December 16 may be charged
with filing a false complaint.
The vehicle belonging to Sar-
ah Smith was recovered near CR
139B and Claude Harvey Road
the following day, minus a ste-
reo and speakers. Ms. Smith's
boyfriend Zackaria Jordan, 21,
claimed the vehicle.
Police later learned Mr. Jordan
was driving the Cadillac when it
was stopped by a Jacksonville
officer about 4:30 am the same
day it went missing.
Three mountain bikes valued
at $115 each were taken from a
location near a school bus stop
at the intersection of Reid Stdf-
ford Road and Ridge Estates on
December 12. They belonged to
children of Tiffney Ratliff, who
reported the thefts. There is a
possible suspect.

:THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday December 21, 2006 Page 16


1-10 'nodes,'other zoning ordinances approved


: TheBakerCountyCommission
:plowed through a number of
:public hearings on zoning-
related matters the. evening of
December 18 ranging from land
:use changes to certifying the new
'Wal-Mart Supercenter can sell
package liquor,
Although its effect will be
:more long range, the board
:also approved changes to the
"development node" for the
Interstate 10 interchanges at
SR 229 and US 90 in the west
county.
The fine-tuning and increase in
acreage of former circular nodes
a mile and a half in diameter to
larger polygons doesn't change
`existing zoning.
It does, however, define an
area for land use planning in the
future. In the case of the Olustee
node (US 90 west of Sanderson)
the intended use is largely non-
residential.
Avery Roberts of Union
County, one of several large


landowners in the area, told the
board he plans a "job center"
, on his portion with little or no
residential use.
Acreage in the node was
increased from 1130 to 4362.
At the 229 interchange (the
Sanderson node), things are a
bit different with residential use
taking up to 70 percent and non-
residential the remainder.
The node includes the former
Richardson Dairy which Mr.
Roberts indicated will likely go
residential.
The discussion before that
vote evolved into a complaint
session about increased industrial
traffic along Reid Stafford Road
since a tract owned by Randy
Crews was rezoned for a land
prep contracting businesses.
Several residents along Staf-
ford complained of heavy traffic,
littering and.large vehicles tearing
up the unpaved road surface.
David Rhue, one of the speakers,
told the board' the county was


"snowed" by Mr. Crews.
The speakers were more
concerned about when Staf-
ford will be paved than the
development node ordinance.
Mr. Roberts said his company
plans to pay for diverting the road
south and west on the former
dairy property before it reaches
CR 229.
In other zoning matters, Mr.
Roberts was once again involved
in the rezoning request to allow
a batch concrete plant on 10.45
acres off Arnold Rhoden Road
near the Wiremil plant.
He requested the change
on behalf of Alachua Partners
and told the board he had no
immediate plans to construct
the plant. He will have to seek
a special exemption first and
estimated- that could be in two


years.
The commissionapprovedfirst
reading on another ordinance,
this one for a land use change
from agriculture A to B for 975
acres of the proposed Osceola
Trails development between CR
125 and CR 127 north of Cuyler.
Macclenny attorney Hugh
Fish, representing Amram Adar
of Hallandale Beach, Fla., also
got an affirmative vote on a plat
plan for 22.5 acres and 39 lots
of the tract off Noah Raulerson
Road.
