He was a driver for Pritchett Trucking of Lake Butler, and was hauling a load of garbage and household trash north to a landfill in Charlton County, Ga. across the state line. Charges still pend against Ja- mie Booth, 21, of Macclenny, whose eastbound Honda failed to stop at SR 23C and 121 and pulled into the path of the 2006 Mack truck. Mr. Snyder had to be extri- cated from the cab wreckage by fire and rescue workers follow- ing the 3:18pm accident and was flown from the scene to Shands Jacksonville, where he died on Friday.

The "progressive" system, ac- cording to Sgt. Michael Crews of the sheriff's department, includ- ed techniques like increasing, by one the number of swats with a paddle board, hacking off 4-6 inches of hair from the right side of the girl's head and forcing her to sleep outside in the "freezer room" of a residence on Kenneth Walker Road.

Sylvester Ford, 31, was im- mediately sentenced to ten years in state prison by Circuit Judge David Glant, who wound up his term on the criminal bench last week. The sentencing culminat- ed a day- long trial in which the state laid out the de- tails of a con- trolled drug buy from Mr. 6. Sheriff's investigators helped set up the buy using a confiden- tial informant equipped with Jimmie Nettles, who testified for the state, purchased .4 grams of cocaine from the defendant for $60. Mr. Ford was reportedly ready to make a plea deal earlier last week but was talked out of it by a girlfriend. Juries were chosen for his trial and that of Hershel Col- lett, 42, who was sentenced to 75 months after he pleaded guilty to burglary and grand theft.

It's the day after Christmas and I'm kicked, back watching soccer on television. It's Boxing Day in England and I haven't the foggiest idea what that means. Is it the daN where you try to figure out what to do with all the boxes your Christmas gifts were in? Are you boxing with your cousin Leo, who gave you a chia pet for the fourth year running? It's a mystery to me.. In England, Boxing Day is like Jan. 1 to us. It's the day when every soccer team in the country plays and people getting over their Christmas revels get to recover by overdosing on sports. They dress up in funnx costumes and cavort in the stands. SI am sitting in my flannel pants with penguins on them and the New Orleans Saints shirt I got for Christmas while writing this on my laptop while New- castle United takes on the Bolton Wanderers on the telly. I am a happy camper. It was a good Christmas on this'side of the county. I admit though, it was a little strange. My children are 16,18 and 21, and aren't of the age where they go quite as crazy over Christmas. Gone are the days when I've had to assemble giant Barbie RV's with 80 pieces or put together Big Wheels. I miss those days a little bit. The children were firm Santa supporters and very strict tra- ditionrialists. It didn't seem like Christmas if they didn't go to the Methodist Church candlelight ceremony and eat Christmas Eve dinner with their "Aunt" Betty Sands. They would then come home, put out their cookies and milk for Santa and pretend to sleep. Not that they ever truly slept. When she was little, Sara would insist one or both of her brothers sleep with her on Christmas Eve and they would plot, plan and listen for Santa until one or two in the morning. Dylan took to setting his clock for 3:00 am, and after a year or two I unplugged it in self-defense while he was asleep. As they got older, they-just got up early real early. They woke us up at 5:30 am and we would crawl out of bed bleary-eyed and yawning. Their presents would be art- fully arranged under the tree and that lasted about 10 seconds be- fore the whirlwind began. Five minutes later it looked as if a Toys R Us had been turned over and shaken into our living room. This year, it's been different. They are as concerned about get- ting great gifts for their brothers and sister; mom, dad and grand- parents as they are about what they receive. I like that. Dylan and Spencer bought their mom a very nice Irish crys- tal decanter and glasses. Sara Beth arranged for photos of the three of them at the park in Glen St. Mary. Spencer was desperate to buy his brother a new guitar and will- ing to spend every penny of the money he had made taking pic- tures for the Press to make it happen. Unfortunately, he saw the price of the new Gretsch hol- low body and had to give him an IOU on a graduation present instead. His brother Dylan had his own secret to keep until Christmas morn. The little scamp spent all his money from working at the YMCA last summer to take his little brother to New York with him on the high school Humani- ties trip in March. He gave Spencer a wrapped Yankees cap and told him he would have to wear it in NYC. When it sunk into Spencer what his brother was telling him, he pounced on him and they rolled around under the tree like pup- pies while their momma cried. I have to admit that though it is very different, it is just as good. It is so heartwarming to me to see our children have grown up lov- ing each other. That's not always the case and it's a real shame. My children are each other's best friends. Sara, never told Dylan to get lost, or ignored him 0 ! at high school. Sara's friends became Dylan's friends. Sara's best friend in high school, Josh Blackmon, became Dylan's friend. Dylan doesn't tell Spencer to get lost or ignore him at high school. Dylan's senior friends have become Spencer's friends and Spencer can't imagine what high school will be like after his brother graduates. , I guess that kind of love and closeness is the best Christmas present of all. I It qA-OW domuIAd= Chif impressed by gestures rb I o afierfire on Chrismasfve Dear Editor: The Baker County Fire Department was called out to a house fire on Glen Ave. in Glen St. Mary on Christmas Eve about 1:30 in the afternoon. Upon our arrival we found the home fully involved with fire. Here you have a family home full of the Christmas spirit, with Christmas decorations in the front yard, and it filled a heart with sadness that a family had just lost everything it owned on Christmas Eve. We were mopping up the fire scene and moved our rehab truck up to the front of the house, and we pulled the tents off the truck so the family could get out of the rain. We gave them coffee and hot choco- late and the Red Cross was notified and set them up in a hotel for three days. They also gave the family funds for clothing and medication. In the process of trying to provide what little comfort we as a fire department could, our faith and belief in the generosity of our neigh- bors in this season of giving was reinforced. Neighbors, many of them complete strangers, reached out.to this family. People driving by stopped and gave what they had in the form of gift cards, checks, cash and clothing. Dollar General Store in Glen called and told the family to come to the store and get what they need- ed for Christmas. A representative from Dominos Pizza in Macclenny brought food for the family and firefighters. A family stopped by with chicken from KFC. County Commissioner Mark Hartley from the Glen district stopped by with gifts for the family, and to lend support. These are some of the reasons we as a fire department are proud to serve the people of Baker County. Prayers and heartfelt thanks from us and the family of Stanley Green to our neighbors and friends, and the wish for a safe and blessed Christmas and New Years to all.

Michael Crews of the sheriff's department. His wife and two children were also in the private vehicle. Sgt. Crews, who reported the incident near Jonesville Park on CR 127 just after 11:00 pm, said the impact caused him to swerve and nearly run off the pavement. No one was injured and damage to his vehicle was not noted. The officer told Deputy Dar- rin Whitaker he turned around but did not pursue four black males when they fled on foot into nearby woods. The on-duty offi- cer canvassed the area later along with Deputy Christopher Walker, and they spotted the subject near the park and gave chase.

The child was removed from the home into foster care after Ms. Auton conducted the in- vestigation, and her father was recently appointed an attorney prior to a civil custody hearing. A .decision on whether to pros- ecute the three for third-degree felonies will be left up to the state attorney's office. Ms. Carter characterized the child's punishment to the DCF worker as "bad, real bad." "Suspects Randy and Rudy were proud to admit their in- volvement and took issue with the concerns that Ms. Auton ex- pressed about the punishment, being bizarre," wrote Sgt. Crews in the report. Both men were "adamant" they had the right to punish the girl as they saw fit, added the deputy. on the description by Sgt. Crews, they arrested Kentrez Smith, 18, who was wearing a black shirt and red shorts with white stripes. The others got away. Damage to the Crews vehicle was to the passenger side door and rear quarter panel. Mr. Smith was booked for fel- ony criminal mischief, throwing a missile at a vehicle and resist- ing police for declining to iden- tify accomplices. In other cases involving van- dalism to vehicles, an estimated $2000 damage was done to a 2004 Toyota parked overnight December 20 at the residence of its owner Holly Roberts off Ow- ens Acres Drive in Macclenny. Ms. Roberts told Deputy Brad Dougherty an estimated $2000 damage was done to paint, all / four tires were cut and the inte- rior stained by a soft drink. She also named a 17-year-old suspect from Jacksonville, who allegedly drove by her house taunting her several times the previous night. Ms. Roberts told police she saw the suspect pouring the soft drink and the stains -\ ere the onl\ dam- age she noted before morning. According to a relative of the suspect, she has been dating Mrs. Roberts' ex-husband. Police say they want to talk to the teen. The previous evening, some- one scratched paint and dam- aged tires on a 2003 Honda SUV belonging to Roxann Lloyd of Sanderson. She told police a girl- friend of her estranged husband may be responsible. There was no damage estimate. The passenger side window of a 1994 Ford Ranger was shot out by a pellet or BB the afternoon of December 20 while it was parked on Ohio St. in Macclenny. Rich- ard Staggs told police a neigh- bor saw two suspects in a brown Chevrolet drive by and shoot at the vehicle., Vandalism to a rear window was put at $300 after an attempt- ed entry overnight December 20 at the Macclenny Moose Lodge.

One memorable project was his study of "Devil's Ivy," a common house plant that is a member of the Aroid fam- ily. He focused on the change in growth form for this seemingly non-descript plant. When allowed to develop in its natural habitat and colonize tree trunks, it turns from an un- assuming house plant with small heart shaped leaves into a hardy vine with monstrous leaves. Dr. Brown recalls the extreme his passion for plants took him to at one time. During a stint in the Air Force in the 1960s he discovered a complete vol- ume of. works by the horticul- turist Luther Burbank in a book- store in Colorado Springs. The twelve-volume set was leather bound and featured color plates. He took out a $120 loan to pur- chase them. "It was a lot of money for such a thing at the time, but I just had to have them," he says. : The books sit on the shelves today at his residence north of Glen St. Mary, and he still en- joys reading entries with titles. such as "How the cactus lost its spines and how it found them again." Later in the 1970s, research on the life history and geograph- ical distribution of the Sabal Palmetto earned him a doctor- ate degree from North Carolina State University. Today, Dr. Brown is a retired faculty member of Lake City Community College. For twen- ty-three years he taught botany, chemistry and biology cours- es as part of the college's golf and landscape management pro- gram. He now devotes most of his free time to personal horti- cultural projects on his five-acre tract of land. Dr. Brown's gardens are di- vided into sections. One area is the "southwest section" and fea- tures desert plants from his na- tive Texas. A nearby citrus grove is filled with varieties, of orange, lemon and grapefruit trees laden with fruit. Dr. Brown picks and holds up some yellow fruit from a Yuza- quat tree a three-way cross be- tween an Ichang Lemon, a Pu- mello (grapefruit family) and a Kumquat. "These make the most fabu- lous lemonade you ever tasted," he declares. "And did you know that orange trees originally came from China?" In the native section, plants indigenous to north Florida have a home. Here is the Red Buck- eye, the first thing in the entire garden to bloom in the spring. There is White Huckleberry whose fruit tastes like cream and sugar, Trillums native to Colum- bia County and the endangered Ashe Magnolia, native only to the Florida Panhandle. Most eye-catching of all is the graceful palm grove with its many varieties such as the Mule Palm, Brazilian Needle Palm and Blue Hesper Palm from northwest Mexico. Some of the trees in the palm garden are the original plants propagated by Dr. Brown dur- ing his doctoral research project in the 1970s. An unusual cab- bage palm features twin trunks which developed from a single seed that contained two separate embryos. He still has the black and white "baby picture" photo he made to document the em- bryos' development. The garden contains both a "cool" and a "warm" house. The warm house has propane heaters and circulating fans that keep the temperature constant for tropical plants like orchids. The cool house is not heated and is sealed with polyethylene sheeting. A long shelf is covered with a drip matt on which sit dozens of plants. A slow trickle of water keeps the matt continu- ously moist. Plants sitting on the matt draw water up by capillary action which keeps them contin- uously supplied with moisture. Excess water from the saturat- ed matt falls like slow rain onto plants sitting under the shelves. According to Dr. Brown, cool- ing water releases heat, which helps regulate the interior temperature. Although it can get a little nippy at times inside the cool house, the covered structure protects plants from frost and wind, the two most damaging elements. "Most plants can take some really low temperatures short term, if they are protected in this way," Dr. Brown says. The cool house does have space heaters and heat lamps if the temperature plunges below freezing. In the late 1970s, Don Boy- ette, a teacher and coach at Bak- er County High School, intro- duced Dr. Brown to plants called bromeliads, natives of the pine- apple family. He got hooked on the exotic looking plants, which are native only to the Americas. and became an active member of the Jacksonville Bromeliad Society. Unusual in appearance, bro- meliads can have vividly col- ored bracts (flower stems) and variegated leaves. Their unusu- al shape, called a rosette, forms storage wells that hold water. Many of the plants are "epi- ph\ tes." meaning they don't need soil to survive. They grow directly on trees, burrowing into the bark for stabilization and using their cups for rain traps. Some derive nutrients from fall- ing leaf and insect matter that becomes trapped in their rain cups and decays, ultimately be- ing absorbed by the plaiat. There are species of bromeli- ad whose bloom spike can take months to develop, but when it's ready, the plant will stay in bloom for up to six months. The plants were introduced into the United States by a land- scape architect named Mulford Foster who lived and worked in Orlando in the 1940s and 50s. He and his wife were fond of traveling in South America where they collected the plants and brought them back to the states. One bromeliad, the Aech- mea Orlandiana, was named for the city Orlando. Dr. Brown holds up an Or- landiana which has variegated leaves and a ruby red bract. "I love these plants. They're exotic to look at and relatively, eas to grow," he says in admit ration. "That's the big appeal for me." According to Dr. Brown, there are a few tricks to growing suc- cessful bromeliads. The plants do well on a porch or patio and need high humidity. They don't do well inside a house because of the dryness of interior air. They can be brought in during a freeze or to enjoy the bloom, but should not be kept inside too long. The interior cup should al- ways contain water. Dr. Brown makes his own potting mixture for bromeliads which, interestingly, contains no soil at all. The plants do well in a mixture of peat moss, perlite and cypress bark that is light and well aerated. Another interesting feature of bromeliads that Dr. Brown en- joys is the tendency of the plant to produce "sports" or natu- ral mutations. Variations of the plant appear frequently with no manipulation from humans. The result can be new variegated leaf patterns and.different col- ored and shaped inflorescence (flower stalks and blooms). "There is just a lot about bro- meliads that's rewarding and in- teresting," he says. Lately, Dr. Brown has turned his interest toward experiment- ing with evergreen shrubs and conifers which are usually only found growing much further north in the United States. He enjoys pushing the envelope, seeing which plants he can get to live and actually thrive in Florida's tropical climate. He is also anxious for a new addition to his collection, a spe- cific kind of dwarf bald cypress called a Peve Minaret, which he considers to be the most perfect type of miniature tree. Working in the horticulture field has had its unexpected re- wards. Dr. Brown has been able to travel to such locales as Be- lize, Venezuela and Ecuador to see plants growing in their na- tive habitats and bring speci- mens back to the states for study and cultivation. He has long considered working in the gar- den to be the most relaxing thing in ,the world. "Plants are perfect company because they don't talk back,", he jokes. On a more serious note, he looks around his garden and ob- serves, "I have always consid- ered plants to be an extraordi- nary gift from God and I thank Him for giving me the passion to appreciate them." First AssembIl of God in NMacclenny is proud to present Mrs. Connie Hollingsworth as the new Director y ,and Ms. Shannon Smith as the new Assistant Director at Special Blessings Daycare.

The Financial Peace Workshop shows people how to put into practice proven common- sense principles that allow them to learn how to: 0 Get out of Debt *Control Spending *Begin to save money'on a regular basis *Take the stress and conflict over money out of the marriage *Set and achieve personal and family financial goals. The Financial Peace Workshop gives people the tools on how to live on less, and how to maximize the use of the resources they have. A married couple said, "The workshop made us sit down as a couple and communicate and it gave us an instant pay raise." A single mom said, "I hated a budget, but I ended up getting the hang of it, and it ended up being more of a blessing than anything else." Stop living with guilt, frustrations and headaches that come with trying to manage your personal finances. Learn how to find financial peace. If you need help with family finances, plan to attend one of the introductory sessions on January 3 or 14 to see how the workshops can take the stress, even the conflict out your finances.
