Mold present at jail


(From page 1
stallation, the sprinkler system
heads leak and the air condition-
ing system and duct work needs
repairs.
Mr. Sheets recommended re-
placing all the duct work in the
front office area of the more than
30-year-old building in addition
to that area's moldy ceiling pan-
els.
County Manager Joe Cone
told the commission he's sent a
letter to the American Correc-
tions Association requesting an
walk-through inspection.
"That should tell us what we
would need to do to bring the fa-
cility up to snuff," he said.
The county's application for a
roughly $416,000 stimulus grant
to rehab the jail was approved in
January and a meeting with the
Florida Department of Law En-
forcement has been set for March
5.
A subcommittee of residents
and commissioners from the
county and City of Macclenny
has also been formed to inves-
tigate the costs associated with
retrofitting the old jail and how
any expenditures above and be-
yond the grant funds compare
with potential savings the project
could generate.
Last summer the county be-
gan paying the Baker Correc-
tional Development Corpora-
tion [BCDC] two times more for
housing local inmates at the new
jail north of Macclenny. Housing
them at the former county jail
could reduce those costs, which
totaled more than $800,000 for
the last quarter of 2009.
The grant only runs through
September, but Mr. Cone said
he isn't sure whether that means
invoices must be submitted by
that time, if that's when the work
has to be under contract or even
whether the deadline can be ex-
tended. Those answers should
come from FDLE at the March 5
meeting.
Mr. Cone also said the sub-
committee will seek cost esti-
mates for other work that may
be needed, like replacement of


security gates and electrical or
plumbing upgrades, and make a
recommendation to the county
commission for action soon.
Prices obtained almost a year
ago estimated all the needed work
at roughly $900,000, but they
included roughly $200,000 for
a new roof. Mr. Cone said repair-
ing the existing roof, particularly
with help from inmate laborers,
would be much cheaper.
The subcommittee has also
been tasked with recommending
how to use the old jail once it's
refurbished.
Commissioner Mike Griffis
said he wanted the group to think
"outside the box" by, for instance,
examining whether it might be
more beneficial to house females
or juveniles at the renovated jail.
Both groups must be held sep-
arate from the male inmates.
"We've all talked about mov-
ing local inmates in there, but
is that the best thing to do?" he
said.
Commissioner Gordon Crews
agreed, adding that leasing the
facility to the BCDC may be a
way to relieve the county of costs
associated with staffing the jail
while benefiting from annual
lease payments.
"The ultimate goal is to save
on our cost to house our inmates


now," he said. "I don't think peo-
ple care which way you go as long
as you can do that."
Glen St. Mary resident Sharon
Padgett urged officials to request
proposals from prison manage-
ment companies that may be
willing to purchase or manage
the jail.
"Maybe it's time we look else-
where," she said.
Ms. Padgett also suggested the
county attempt to renegotiate for
a lower daily rate from the BCDC
for housing local inmates at the
newjail.
The approximately $85 cost
per day per prisoner was put
in place last year parallel to an
agreement with Immigration
and Customs Enforcement [ICE]
to house federal detainees at the
same rate.
Brian Bishop, the sheriffs of-
fice administration chief, said the
ICE agreement was based on an-
ticipated costs and renewal of the
deal will be based on actual costs
for housing prisoners.
In other business this week,
the commission:
Donated $1oo to the North-
east Florida State Hospital's
Jeanine L. Harvey Scholarship
fund.
Waived ag center rental fees
for St. Mary's Catholic Church.

Other vendors have been
more excited and Ms. Guest is
confident she'll have 10 to 15

"I believe we can do that," she
said. "I'd like to see 15 to 20 and
have there be a wide variety of

It needs to be a joint effort to pro-

Continued participation by

determine the venture's success.
"There has to be that altru-

reasonable prices. At that point,
it becomes self-sustaining," said
Ms. Guest.


Suspect in recent graffiti cases


arrested for battery on officers


A suspect in a
recent rash of wall
graffiti in the Mac-
clenny area is charged
with assault on the
sheriffs department's
chief investigator and
resisting arrest during
an interrogation ses-
sion at county jail the
afternoon of February
23.

Investigator Chuck
Brannan said Rodney
Braziel, 18, of Mac-
clenny was brought
about 3:00 from
Baker County High
School where he is a
student to the sheriffs
complex for a voice
stress analysis.. *--
The investigator said Mr. Braziel .-- .
became irate as the voice test was
being explained to him.
"I entered the room and told him
that he needed to calm down as he
was at the sheriffs office now and
not at the school anymore," said In-
vestigator Brannan in his report.
"[He] then stood up and slung
his book bag down off of his shoul-
der and loudly told me to 'take my
badge off and go outside and fight
like a man, you cracker-ass mother
[expletive]."'
The investigator said he grabbed
Mr. Braziel's arm as he drew it back
with a closed fist and forced him against a wall. In-
vestigators Steve Harvey, Michael Hauge and John
Hardin then joined in the struggle, and the report
indicates it took all four of them to handcuff the sus-
pect.
Investigator Brannan said the student continued

charged with assault on an officer and resisting ar-
rest with violence, both first-degree misdemeanors.
According to Chief Deputy Gerald Gonzalez, the
suspect denied involvement with the graffiti defac-
ing. He was questioned because his nickname is
"Tyke," similar to the name painted on the walls.

Twin gets 20 years for burglary


Semi forced off I-10, loses its load...
The Florida Highway Patrol is seeking information on the identity of a driver who may be responsible for
forcing a semi-truck loaded with mulch and potting soil off the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 just east
of the CR 229 interchange the morning of February 25. Driver Joseph Morse, 43, of Old Town, Fla. said
what appeared to be a two-door Chevrolet and two other vehicles were entering the travel lanes from 229
about 6:30 when the Chevrolet merged into his lane and abruptly slowed to allow two vehicles in front
of it to do so. Mr. Morse told Trooper K.M. Boatwright that traffic in the passing lane prevented him from
moving out of the way, and his rig went out of control as he slammed on brakes. It came to rest just north
of the passing lane, and in this photo employees of Higginbotham Towing in Glen St. Mary begin off-load-
ing the trailer before the vehicle could be removed from the scene. Mr. Morse was not injured.

Mr. Martin and another male who was not arrested were at the deck in / cut-height ir

Deputy Crews and other witnesses who were riding with him that
night said Mr. Martin appeared nervous when questioned outside the
residence, and dropped one of the pills. The remainder were found in
a pocket.
In other arrests:
Garrett Simmons, 24, of Macclenny was charged with misdemean-
or possession of marijuana when his Chevrolet was stopped by Deputy
Johnny Hodges near Lowder and Ray Phillips the evening of February
26.
The officer said he was aware Mr. Simmons was driving on a sus-
pended license. A computer check confirmed three prior suspensions
for failure to pay fines.
A small amount of pot was found in a door pocket.
Billy Rhoden, 36, of Macclenny was arrested for disorderly intoxi-
cation and misdemeanor possession after he was taken to his father's
residence on Newport St. in the late evening of February 27.
Lt. Billy Miller said he found Mr. Rhoden staggering across US 90 at
5th St. downtown about 10:20 and gave him a ride to the address.
Once there, the father and son began arguing and the officer ar-
rested the son because he had nowhere else to go and was a danger to
himself.
Deputy Crews found a small amount of pot on him during a custo-
dial search.
A 15-year-old male student at Baker County High School was ar-
rested for possession of a marijuana smoking pipe on February 26.
Principal Thomas Hill said he was tipped off by other students that
the suspect had marijuana during the second lunch period.
The pipe was found during a subsequent search, and Deputy Matt
Riegel said it had a strong odor of marijuana and burnt residue.

Two nabbed in burglary


Two men are charged with the
daytime burglary of a house on
North 3rd St., an act that was wit-
nessed by a woman nearby who
then called police.
Based on her description the
afternoon of February 23, of-
ficers rounded up Terry Smith,
19, of Glen St. Mary and Andrew
Johnson, 23, of Macclenny. The
two were found walking near the
intersection of West Boulevard
and Shuey Ave. just after 2:30.
The same witness had told police
their direction of travel after they
left the residence of Cara Jack-
son.
Ms. Jackson later said $1ooo
in cash was missing from the at-
tic.
The report by Deputy Jason
Bryan notes that entry was via a
rear door the witness claims one
of the suspects kicked in. The
interior was also ransacked and
damage done to door framing
and walls.
The two are charged with
burglary of a dwelling and caus-
ing damage in excess of $1ooo, a


'Hate' sign

is removed

The sheriffs department was
called to the Econolodge motel
near Interstate 10 and South 6th
the afternoon of February after
someone left a handmade sign
with a racially offensive message
near the entrance.
Karon Clark, the motel general
manager, said the white plastic
sign with black lettering reading
"Whites Only No Coloreds" was
placed by an unknown person on
the property about 4:30.
"Our landscaping man drove
by and saw it, then he called us,"
Ms. Clark recalled later, saying
she didn't know how long the
sign had been visible to passing
motorists.
When she looked out toward
the entrance, Ms. Clark then
saw a black male driving a blue
truck pull over to the shoulder
of Woodlawn Rd. and "yank" the
sign from the ground. He then
threw it into a nearby ditch and
drove off.
Deputy Jason Bryan said he
removed the sign and disposed
of it.

Jacksonville.
A television and sunglasses
with a combined value of $500
were reported taken from a resi-
dence off Ray Phillips Rd. over-
night on February 27.
The property belongs to Gar-
rett Simmons, who was in jail at
the time, and the theft was re-
ported by his girlfriend Lindsay
Townsend.
The girlfriend told the victim's
mother she found a crow bar ly-
ing near the front door. Deputy
Chris Walker said Ms. Townsend
did not show up at the sheriffs
department to discuss the case.

BCMS student attacks teacher


A 13-year-old male student at
Baker County Middle School was
named in a criminal complaint
for battery on his special ed
teacher the afternoon of Febru-
ary 22.
Campus deputy Tracie Benton
took the student into custody af-
ter he allegedly pushed teacher
Patsy Vinzant, 60, with sufficient
force that she fell and injured her
head, elbow and knee. The offi-
cer noted that Ms. Vinzant had a
large bruise on her forehead and
scrapes elsewhere.
The teacher told police the
student had been calling her de-
rogatory names all that day and
before the incident, which pre-
ceded afternoon dismissal, she
had taken a turkey caller from
the student and tossed it into a
trash can under her desk.
The student went to retrieve it,
then headed for the door where
Ms. Vinzant grabbed him before
being shoved. The suspect was
chased down and brought back
to the classroom by another stu-
dent.
The class is termed a "thera-


peutic day program" where un-
ruly and disruptive students are
placed.
The complaint is for battery on
a school official, a third-degree
felony, and disorderly conduct.
In a second, unrelated, inci-
dent at BCMS, two 14-year-old


male students were named in
battery complaints following
a fight before classes began on
February 27.
The fight reportedly broke out
about 7:30 over disagreements
between the participants' young-
er brothers.


first-degree felony.
Several other burglaries were
reported in the county recently.
Among them:
The residence of Andrew
Thornton on Honeysuckle Lane
near Glen the afternoon of Feb-
ruary 23, during which tattoo-
ing guns, ink and pictures were
taken.
The burglary was reported
by the victim's girlfriend Vanna
Hamilton, who told Investigator
Jeff Dawson later that her wallet,
$20 and identification were sto-
len as well.
The guns were in a briefcase
under a bed, and the other items
in a duffel bag in a closet. Mr.
Thornton was in jail in Jackson-
ville at the time, and the value
of the property was placed at
$1200-plus.
A laptop computer, case and
charger belonging to Marlo Scott
were taken from an office at the
Country Club Lounge on South
6th sometime between February
18-22.
Ms. Scott told Deputy Bryan
she obtained the property on a
rent-to-own contract and it is
worth $2000. She also gave po-

I heard a song the other
day I had forgotten because I
fell out of the habit of listen-
ing to rock music many years
ago.


THE E

POR


The song is "Still Loving Kelley
You" by The Scorpions. It was e
like hearing it for the very
first time and I was blown away all over again.
I'd forgotten what a slammin' tune it is.
I don't know why my immersion in the rock
music genre fell off. I grew up on the stuff, cut
my teeth on it actually. Guess I just went on to
other things and for me, by the time middle
age rolled around, 8o's rock music all those
skinny guys in tights with heavy mascara and
big hair faded into the background.
After my recent musical reunion with "Still
Loving You" (did I mention what a slammin'
song it is?), I did a lot of snooping on the In-
ternet.
To my surprise, most of the bands I knew
are still together and still performing. For
that, kudos to them.
The audience is older, of course. There's a
sea of gray hair in the stands now when fans
fill an arena for their shows.
Very few of those skinny guys in tights are
still skinny. Just the opposite, in fact. And for-
get the mile high hairdos. Sans hair is more

like it. A lot of them are bald
I AC ( or nearly so.
Remember gorgeous Peter
Frampton? Who can forget
CH his trade-mark nimbus of
n iga long blond locks that graced
nnIn the cover of his best-selling
1975 double album "Framp-
ton Comes Alive?"
I hadn't seen a photo of the British rock-
er in years. Imagine my surprise when he
showed up in a Geico Insurance commercial.
The curly blond locks were gone. What little
hair he retained was snow white. I would nev-
er have known who he was if the announcer
hadn't identified him.
And who can forget Twisted Sister front
man Dee Snider with his outrageous waterfall
of yellow corkscrew curls? His hair always
looked like the coat of an overgrown poodle
with major static electricity issues. He might
easily have been more famous for that crazy
hair than his tunes.
Nicky Sixx of Motley Crue has managed,
at 52, to maintain his shaggy, ragged black
bouffant seemingly intact. I have to wonder
- is it still all his? Or does this bad-boy rocker
legend now take advantage of a hair weave
to maintain the volume? Does he keep those
coal-black tresses demon dark with a little


help from Clairol?
Only his hair dresser knows for sure.
I don't know about other girls, but I was
jealous of these dudes. They always had lon-
ger, prettier hair, access to flashy designer
wardrobes and looked better in make-up than
I did.
Alice "Welcome To My Nightmare" Cooper
even had his own line of cosmetics that fea-
tured products such as Whiplash mascara.
And if that wasn't enough, their vocal rang-
es were always twice as high as mine. They
seemed to be a type of strange hybrid that got
the best of both male and female traits, which
was totally unfair. How could us girls com-
pete with guys who spent more money on hair
spray and more time in front of the bathroom
mirror then we did?
Although I'll never attain the vocal range of
some of those guys, one thing is now certain.
Today, I've got a lot more hair than many of
them.
I recently stumbled across a YouTube
video of a 90-year-old woman playing the
drums. Hey, I can play the tambourine and I
still have my hair. I'm also determined to lose
15 pounds by my 53rd birthday.
Maybe I should give my boy Peter Framp-
ton a call...

Ready for 'Dancing with the (Klutzy) Stars'


MY SIDE OF

THE MATTER
ROBERT GERARD
As I get ready to pack up my
Steel Magnolias set and head
north to compete at the South-
eastern Theatre Conference at
the University of Kentucky, it's
time to reflect on my life and
things I might still like to do.


Though things aren't getting
stale, I have to admit I was dis-
appointed the other day. Bitterly
disappointed.
Dancing With the Stars, or
DWTS as it is known by its le-
gions of fans, announced its list
of celebrity dancers and once
again I was not in it.
Why should that surprise you?
After all, I'm not a celebrity.
That's true. But I was looking
at the list of "celebrities" who I
guess are supposed to be stars -

This newspaper is printed on recycled paper.


it is Dancing With the Stars after
all and was again surprised by
how many of them I didn't know
or hadn't heard of.
Okay, Pam Anderson, Kate
Goselin and astronaut Buzz Al-
drin. I'm a sports fan so I know
Erin Andrews and Cincinnati
Bengal Chad Ochocinco, and
gold medal figure skater Evan
Lysacek. But who the heck are
Nicey Nash, Nichole Scherzinger
and Aiden Turner?
I would have fit in well on
DWTS. The only real problem
I think I might encounter is the
fact that I can't dance.
Not at all. Not a step. In fact,
my wife makes fun of me when I
try to dance.
I admit it. I look like I am
walking on hot coals when I at-
tempt to dance. It's pretty silly.
My daughter can dance. My
two sons can dance like fiends. I
was not blessed with the dancing
genes.
However, I have taken that
into account.
I am the comic relief; the guy
America will vote for deep into
the competition because I look so
ridiculous. I will win them over
by making them laugh.
Think of me as the DWTS
version of that Korean guy on
American Idol. He couldn't sing a
lick and was so bad they kept him
around for a while just to laugh
at him.
Of course they'd be laughing at
me and not with me. That might
hurt, but by then I'd be as big a
celebrity as that "Pants on the


Ground" guy.
Do I want to be a celebrity?
That's a big question I'd have to
answer before beginning my run
on DWTS.
Kate Goselin is a celebrity for
no better reason than she had
eight kids and a dysfunctional
family life. But she's consistently
on the cover of People magazine
and all those tabloids. I'm not
sure I want that.
Do I want to see tabloid head-
lines like "Bob Gerard Danc-
ing With the Stars but Crying
Inside?" Not that I know why I'd
be crying inside unless my part-
ner stepped on my foot, but that
wouldn't stop the tabloids from
making it up.
Do I really want to be linked to
Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jo-
lie? Again the tabloids "Forget
Brangelina, It's Bobgelina."
I don't think so.
I really enjoyed the Winter
Olympics. Maybe I could be an
Olympic athlete. There are draw-
backs to that as well.
I'm old, overweight and live in
Florida, but that would guaran-
tee me one of those heartwarm-
ing Olympic profiles that Chris
Collingsworth or Mary Carillo
did for this Olympics. It would
be worth it just to meet Chris or
Mary.
But what event? Again old,
fat and a Floridian. Add to that
"Not an Athlete!"
I thought about the luge. After
all, you just jump on it and hold
on for dear life while it hurtles
down the mountain at 90 mph.


I changed my mind when that
Republic of Georgia athlete was
killed at the start of the games.
One boring afternoon as I
tuned in to Olympic coverage on
CNBC, I hit on the perfect sport.
Curling.
I could do what they do. I
could shove that 42-pound piece
of granite down the ice and yell
"Hard! HARDDDD!" at the top
of my lungs. I've swept enough
floors that if I couldn't manage
that part of the game I could
sweep the ice in front of the big
granite thing (maybe I should
learn the terms before I take up
the sport the rock).
I can see myself standing with
a foot poised on the "rock," look-
ing stern on the cover of Sports
Illustrated and the title "Bob
Gerard: Top of the Rock."
I like it. It has a kind of Steven
Colbert feel to it.
Time to start training.
I'll turn the house air condi-
tioning as low as it goes and pour
water down the hallway. After
that I'll shove a go-cart tire filled
with concrete down the hall while
yelling "Hard!"

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS


Hope high-speed in Olustee


JOEL ADDINGTON
NEWS EDITOR
reporter@bakercountypress.com
The North Florida Broadband Author-
ity received notification last week that it will
be awarded more than $30 million to help
make high-speed Internet access available
in remote areas of the authority's 14-county
region, including Olustee.
The counties, designated by the state as
a Rural Area of Critical Economic Concern,
along with the eight municipalities within
them, formed the authority over three weeks
last summer specifically to apply for the grant
from the US Department of Commerce and
authorized by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The authority's application, prepared by
Government Services Group of Tallahassee,
was chosen from more than 2200 submitted
nationally.
The local governments involved pledged
more than $9 million in land and existing
tower assets as the in-kind match for the
grant, which was $3 million more than re-
quired. None of the property or towers are
located in Baker County, almost all of which
has access to high-speed Internet.
Chamber of Commerce director Darryl
Register and NEFCOM general manager and


county commissioner Mike Griffis represent
Baker County on the authority's governing
board.
"I envision that the remote areas of Baker
County that currently don't have access to
high-speed Internet, such as Olustee, will have
access," Mr. Register said of the grants impact
on the county. "Other areas that already have
access may have better service available at a
lower cost."
The money will be used by the authority
to design and install a wireless network con-
necting, indirectly, the nation's broadband
"backbone" to remote areas where high-speed
Internet is not currently available.
The authority will not be offering "last
mile" Internet service to homes and business-
es. Rather, the authority will sell capacity on
the network at a fixed rate to Internet Service
Providers [ISPs] like NEFCOM or SETEL,
which can supply high-speed access at the lo-
cal level.
The grant will serve as the up-front invest-
ment needed to expand broadband Internet
into far-flung places, thereby relieving ISPs
of that cost, Mr. Register said. However, the
price of network capacity and how much it
will cost ISPs to link places like Olustee to the
network remains unclear.
"We're not sure what type of technology


will be available for the last mile," Mr. Griffis
said. "But [expanding service to Olustee] is a
possibility ... We would look for mutual op-
portunities that NEFCOM and the broadband
authority can benefit from. We know better
than anyone that broadband access is a major
force for economic progress."
The authority's board will convene in Live
Oak March 17 to review contracts with the
selected project manager, Air Wire of Mel-
bourne, Fla., and project engineer, Keenwire
of Oregon.
The firms will then assist Government Ser-
vices Group to draft a Request For Proposals
on installation of the wireless network.
Once the grant is activated, the system
must be substantially complete in two years
and completely finished in three years, per
federal requirements.
According to the authority's Web site, the
network will deliver up to 1 gigabit of capacity
per second throughout the region, which is up
to 600 times the current capacity available.
The project is among the first to receive
funding through a $4.7-billion program us-
ing stimulus money to provide high-speed
Internet access to rural and under served ar-
eas across the country. To date, the program
has awarded 29 grants totaling roughly $585
million.

225 are needed for census


JOEL ADDINGTON
NEWS EDITOR
reporter@bakercountypress.com
With Baker County's unem-
ployment rate topping 11 percent
last December, the US Census of-
fice in Gainesville anticipates no
shortage of applicants for more
than 200 positions currently be-
ing filled here for the 2010 Cen-
sus.
The part-time positions are
temporary, lasting through July,
with flexible evening and week-
end hours suited to college stu-
dents, part-time workers or the
unemployed.
Applicants must be US citi-
zens at least 18 years old with a
valid Social Security number. In
some instances, the citizenship
requirement can be waived in
areas where bilingual workers
are needed and no applicants are
available.
Successful applicants will
have to pass a background check
and written test of basic skills like
reading, working with numbers
and interpreting information.
Employees receive four days
of paid training, which can be
scheduled for weekdays, eve-
nings or weekends.
Last Spring the Census Bureau
began the verifying old addresses
and adding new addresses for the
once-a-decade survey required
by the Constitution since 1790.
The updated list is used to mail
out census questionnaires during
February and March in time for
census day on April 1.
Norm Sassner, the manager
of the Gainesville office, said
approximately 225 workers are
needed in Baker County to drop
off census forms to households
without addresses, typically in
remote areas, count homeless
people and follow-up at house-
holds that don't return census
forms, among other duties.
The questionnaires consist of
10 questions the first of which
is the most important for deter-
mining population "How many


people were living or staying in
this house, apartment, or mobile
home on April 1, 2010?"
The totals are used for ap-
propriating seats in the House of
Representatives and determining
how more than $300 billion in
federal funding will be dispersed
each year to communities across
the nation.
The remaining questions on
the census form ask about the
type of home house, apartment
or mobile home and the names,
sex, ages and races of those in the
household. There's enough space
to provide information on up to
12 people in the household.
Such personal information re-
mains confidential.
It's illegal for the Census Bu-
reau or its employees to share
this information with any other
government agency, including
the local law enforcement, the
FBI, IRS or immigration. Doing
so can result in a $250,000 fine
and/or five years in prison.


Federal law also provides for
$100 fine for refusing to answer
census questions and a $500 fine
for falsifying census informa-
tion.
"However, rather than rely
on criminal charges, the Census
Bureau is very successful in get-
ting participation by explaining
the importance of the questions
we ask and how the information
benefits our communities," Mr.
Sassner said.
He added that for every one
percent that fails to return a cen-
sus questionnaire, the Census
Bureau will spend $85 million
going door-to-door in May.
The bureau must deliver pop-
ulation figures to the president
by December 2010 and complete
delivery of congressional redis-
tricting to the states by March
2011.
For more information about
temporary employment with the
Census Bureau, please call 1-866-
861-2010.

Deputy 'tases' traffic offender


Passenger flees, wanted for failure to appear


A Macclenny man whose ve-
hicle was stopped for a minor
traffic infringement ended up in
county jail the night of February
27, charged with two counts of
battery on county deputies and
resisting arrest with violence.
Deputy Johnny Hodges said
he shot Greg Barton, 25, with a
taser gun to subdue him when
the suspect accosted him after
first shoving Deputy Koty Crews
away from him as he exited his
Nissan sedan about 9:40.
Deputy Crews stopped the ve-
hicle near Madison and CR 125
in Glen St. Mary after noting that
Mr. Barton failed to use a turn
signal. He learned via computer
check that he was driving on a
license suspended five times.
Deputy Crews said in his re-
port that he struck Mr. Barton


on the side of the head while the
suspect struggled with Deputy
Hodges.
A passenger in the Nissan,
34-year-old Mikelle Harvey of
Macclenny, fled the scene on foot
while the officers fought with the
driver, and Deputy Crews chased
after him without success. Mr.
Harvey is wanted for failure to
appear in court for reckless driv-
ing.
Police were involved in two
other traffic stops of drivers with-
out licenses the past week during
which they fled.
Deputy Crews briefly chased
a Dodge van about 2:00 am on
February 24 to an address on
North 5th St. in Macclenny,
where driver Michael Jackson,
28, then ran into nearby bushes.
The officer said he got behind


the van because of a turn signal
infraction, and arrested Mr.
Jackson after several attempts to
get him out from hiding.
His license has nine prior
suspensions for drunk driving,
failure to pay fines and submit to
alcohol testing. He was arrested
for driving on the suspended li-
cense and resisting arrest with-
out violence.
Deputy Earl Lord said he
recognized Franklin Davis, 23,
of Jacksonville as the driver who
fled a 2001 Chevrolet on foot into
a wooded area near CR 229 and
Wiremill Rd. the afternoon of
February 23.
The officer said he was on pa-
trol on Arnold Rhoden Rd. when
he spotted the Chevrolet driv-
ing recklessly. It speeded up on
Wiremill when Deputy Lord got


behind it with emergency lights
flashing.
The chase ended in the yard
of a residence, and the deputy
said passenger Quinton Hurst
of Glen confirmed the identity of
the driver.
A warrant is expected this
week for his arrest on the license
violation and fleeing police.
Deputy Hodges stopped
James Hodges, 45, of Macclenny
for reckless driving on North 7th
St. the evening of February 23
and learned that his license had
been permanently revoked for
four or more drunk driving con-
victions.
In addition to the license vio-
lation, Mr. Hodges was charged
with failure to maintain a single
lane.


'Pants stuffing' shoplifter arrested


A Jacksonville man with a flair for shoplift-
ing allegedly stuffed packages of meat into his
pants pockets and was arrested the evening
of February 28 as he attempted to leave the
Food Lion on South 6th in Macclenny.
Police believe he is the same man who suc-
cessfully got away from the same store after
he was caught on tape and observed by em-
ployees doing the same thing the afternoon of
February 25.
Deputy Jason Bryan responded to a call
from a Food Lion service manager during
the second instance after she spotted Donald
Wynn, 48, place packages of steaks and sau-
sage in his pants before he attempted to leave
the store.
He did so about the time Deputy Bryan ar-
rived, and the officer was alerted to Mr. Wynn
as he headed toward his gold 2001 Toyota in
the parking lot.
The deputy took note of the bulging pants,
and patted down the suspect to find four packs
of rib eye steaks and packs of sausage with a
retail value of $128.


Deputy Bryan said in his report that Mr.
Wynn then "hung his head" and admitted to
having more stolen meat in his vehicle. On the
passenger seat floorboard, the officer found
three packs of Alaskan salmon, ham steaks
and two packs of shrimp.
He also found a glass pipe with steel wool
and cocaine residue, a combination that nor-
mally signals the smoking of crack cocaine.
The officer then checked with manage-
ment at nearby Winn-Dixie, and learned that
his suspect had been captured on surveillance
tape taking the items found in the car, and
leaving the store using the same concealment
technique.
The amount he got from Winn-Dixie was
valued at $131.
Three days earlier, a male subject match-
ing Mr. Wynn's description got away from
Food Lion before police arrived. A motorized
cart found where his car had been parked con-
tained a purse with two meat packs and two
cans of hair spray.
The cart had been driven by a white wom-


an recognized by an employee in the meat
department. The store at that time estimated
$200-300 worth had been purloined.
Mr. Wynn was booked at county jail on two
counts of petty theft and possession of the
drug paraphernalia.
In other shoplifting arrests:
Charlie Murray, 65, of St. George, Ga. was
caught by a store security worker attempting
to leave the Walmart Supercenter the after-
noon of February 25 with several items from
the electronic department and a ratchet tool.
Mr. Murray allegedly took two flash drives
and two computer disks over to the toy depart-
ment where he removed them from boxes and
stuffed them into his shirt and pants pocket.
He did the same with the ratchet from the
tool section.
The following afternoon, Alecia Adams,
25, of Raiford was arrested after she was ob-
served putting on a belt and attempting to
leave the store without paying for it.

Felony battery arrest

for nearly severing an

ear during altercation


Police charged a Glen St. Mary
man with felony battery for hit-
ting another man with such force
that it nearly severed his right
ear.
Jerry Davis, 28, was named in
a complaint following an inter-
view with Deputy Matt Sigers late
on February 24 after the incident
in the parking lot of Cuz's One
Stop in downtown Sanderson.
Mr. Davis said he punched
Donald Kruse, 19, of Sanderson
"four to five times" after the latter
struck him once in the mouth.
The altercation resulted from
Mr. Davis refusing to purchase
beer for the underage Mr. Kruse.
Mr. Davis told the officer he left
his victim lying on the ground
unconscious near a dumpster.
He had left the area when police
arrived.
Cpl. Ben Anderson said he re-
sponded to the scene to find Mr.
Kruse being treated by a rescue
crew that then took him to Fra-
ser Hospital. The officer said Mr.
Kruse's ear appeared to be at-
tached to his scalp only by skin,
and a doctor at the Fraser emer-
gency room recommended he see
a plastic surgeon.
Mr. Kruse was named in a
complaint for misdemeanor bat-
tery because he was the initial
aggressor.
In other incidents:
Milton Oralls, 25, was named
in a complaint for domestic bat-
tery on his wife Sebrena, 34, at
their residence off Clete Harvey
Rd. near Sanderson during the
early morning hours of February
26.
Ms. Oralls told police her hus-






I FIS
MA0CLE0


band struck her and threw a glass
object at her during an argument
about 4:00.
Xavier Ruise, 25, of Mac-
clenny was named in a similar
complaint for striking Alice Bris-
tol, 27, also of Macclenny, while
she was seated in a vehicle in
the parking lot of the BP station
downtown.
The alleged attack occurred
about 6:00 pm on February 26.
A 30-year-old male patient
at Northeast Florida State Hos-
pital was named in a complaint
for battery after he allegedly
struck another male patient, age
29, who he accused of stealing his
pants.
The incident occurred the af-
ternoon of February 24.
Another patient, a 45-year-
old female, was accused of
shoving a female, age 39, to the
ground and striking her as she
waited for her medication the
morning of February 26.

Students raise $1103 for Haiti


KELLEY LANNIGAN

Students at Baker County
Middle School raised a whop-
ping $1,102.82 for Haiti relief
during a recent two-week fund
drive. It was a school-wide effort,
with students of teacher Byronell
Williams raising more than any
other class.
"The BCMS students have ex-
ceeded our wildest expectations,"
said Josh Woods, a member of
the Baker County Kiwanis Club.
"Their initial challenge was to
raise $500."
The middle school had just
begun its own independent fund-
raising effort when The Kiwanis
initially contacted Principal Da-
vid Davis several weeks ago.
The club wanted to involve
students in an organized activity
to help raise money to aid victims
of the earthquake that hit Haiti
January 12.
It was decided that The Ki-

wanis Club would be the recipi-
ent of any money the students
raised. The club would work with
several local churches that sup-
port orphanages in Haiti.
'That way we were guaranteed
the money would go directly to
the benefit of Haitian children,"
said Mr. Woods.
Mr. Davis said the school set
the goal of $500 and hoped the
students could reach it.
"In these tough economic
times, we wanted a goal that we
thought the kids could realisti-
cally attain," he said.
The students met the $500
challenge and surpassed it,
quickly reaching $750 in just a
week and a half. Impressed and
encouraged, Mr. Davis decided to
see if they could reach $1,ooo.
"I left it entirely up to the


students," he said. "When I told
them we could extend the fund-
raiser several days to try to reach
the thousand dollar mark, their
attitude was, let's go for it."
The students not only attained
the new goal, but quickly raising
more than $11oo.
Mr. Woods says he is very im-
pressed with the effort, especially
coming from sixth, seventh and
eight graders.
"When I was that age, every-
thing was about sports and girls,"
he said. "I probably wouldn't
have given any of my own money
to something like this. I'm blown
away that these students would
be so focused on humanitarian
issues."
According to Mr. Davis, there
were teachers who also donated
money to the drive.

In Loving Memory
of My Sister
Glenda Louise Cline
Thigpen
8/17/1959- 2/16/2009
Well it's been a year now since you
went home, and I still can't believe
that you are gone.
But I know that you are in a better
place and it's Heaven, and there is no
better place.
Glenda I miss you every second of
every day and I mean that!
When Iget up, on the way to work, at
rest or play.
Everyone here is doing O.K., we're
getting along day by day.
I talked to Daddy just last night,
when I said your name, I could hear
his voice get bright.
Me and Wanda, Gator, Punkin, Bob-
by and Bill, we're doing fine and don't
you got a pretty granddaughter,
she looks just like Reed Cline.
I wish you were here but God wanted
you He only takes Angels and that
shore was you.
Tell Mama I love her and give
Granny a kiss and say "Hey" to ole
Reed and tell him he is missed.
God knows what he's doing, that's
what gets me through each day, He
knew you were in pain and He took
it away.
Glenda, I will never forget you as
long as I live.
I wish I could hold you and give you
a kiss.
There's nothing in the world like a
sister and I was blessed with the best,
now go back to Reed and Mama and
you just rest.
I will see you again, I sure hope so
any way, and then we can talk and
then you will never go away.
I miss you so much every second of
every day.
I love you my sister and miss you so
much.

WITH ALL MY LOVE AND PRAYERS,
YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER
PEEWEE AND SISTER-IN-LAW
WANDA XXOOO

Sincere thanks
The Larry Westfall family is
so grateful to all for the prayers,
calls, visits, food and love that
you showed us in our true time of
need. Your support and kindness
will all be remembered. We have
a huge void and emptiness in our
hears and life. We'll still need
your prayers and love.
OUR SINCERE THANKS TO ALL OF
YOU!

In Loving Memory
of Neil Lee
11/11/59- 3/6/09
It has been a long, tough year
for us. It's like a dream still. It's
like you are still in Atlanta and
we're waitingfor you to come
home again. The saying is, that
with time it will be better. We
haven't found that to be true.
You made so many footsteps
in Macclenny. If only we could
have you back for one day to
tell you how much we love and
miss you. We know God has a
special place for you in Heaven.
LOVE,
YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Reward for better test scores
Students in Tara Rhoden's sixth grade dass enjoyed the benefits of hard work March 2 when American En-
terprise Bank treated them to lunch from Burger King. Bank president Jamie Hodges picked up, delivered
and served cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches and Coke Icees to the 40 students who have significantly
raised their test scores beyond those earned on an FCAT practice math test first given in 2007."These stu-
dents have worked and continue to work so very hard to attain the passing scores. We wanted to reward
them," said Ms. Rhoden. The students will also be participating in this Saturday's Math Blitz study session
to further prepare for next week's FCAT testing. Above: Some of the girls in Ms. Rhoden's dass get into the
spirit by donning paper Burger King crowns as Mr. Hodges served them lunch.


Thanks so much
My family and I would like to
thank the Baker County commu-
nity for their help and support of
the benefit dinner and for their
donations. Your love, support
and prayers are greatly appreci-
ated. May God bless you all.

Cats lose back-to-back


BOB GERARD I SPORTS
The Wildcat baseball
team had its roughest week
of the young season, losing
a pair of games to tough op-
ponents.
The Wildcats traveled to
Lake City February 24 and
could not handle the Tigers,
and then hosted Alachua
Santa Fe two days later and
lost to the Raiders.
Despite losing to the Ti-
gers 4-2, the Wildcats had a
good performance from the
mound. Coach John Staples
was happy with Cameron
Crews' pitching perfor- .....'
mance, but the defense
couldn't keep the Tigers ..
from scoring. : .. ..
It was an even rougher
day on Saturday at home
against the Raiders. Santa .
Fe scored early and often in "
a 10-3 rout. The game was
one of the most lopsided in
several years for BCHS.
Thomas Sirk had four
hits in the two games to lead '-,- i..
the Cats offensively.
The Cats travel to Bishop
Snyder on Wednesday,
March 3, and to Bishop Kenny on Thursday, w
they hope to regain their early form. Next week

Tennis teams return to the court


Girls begin hot

with 3-1 record
The BCHS girls' tennis team has gotten off to a
great start this season. Coach Allen Murphy's squad
is 3-1, with only one loss to Fernandina blotting its
record.
The girls started the season with a 4-3 win over
West Nassau in Callahan on February 18. After
losing their first two singles matches, the girls re-
bounded to take the next four matches.
Kari Crummey won 8-2 against West Nassau's
third seed and Logan Raulerson won 8-4 in the
battle of number four players. Destiny de la Pena
finished off singles with an 8-3 victory.
In doubles play, Carissa Ward and Crummey
combined for an 8-4 win to seal the contest.
The girls defeated Yulee 4-3 at home on Febru-
ary 23. It was a replay of the West Nassau match,
with the Cats losing in the top two singles matches,
but winning the remaining single and number one
doubles match.
Crummey won 8-4 in number 3 play and Raul-
erson won 8-3 in number four play. De la Pena won
8-2 and the team of Ward and Crummey won 8-4 in
doubles.
The Cats lost 8-0 to a powerful Fernandina Beach
squad on February 25, but came back for a 5-2 win
over the Baldwin Indians the following day.
In that latter match-up, Jessica Rhoden, Crum-
mey, Raulerson and de la Pena were all winners in
singles. De la Pena and Rhoden won in number two
doubles play.
The Cats have a home match versus Hilliard on
Thursday, March 4, at 4:00 pm before traveling to
Bishop Snyder on Monday, March 8, for a 3:00 pm
match.


One win for boys
The BCHS boys' tennis team got its first win of the
season on February 26 when it defeated Baldwin 6-
1 at home. Prior to the win against the Indians, the
team had fallen to West Nassau in a tense match 3-4,
and to Yulee and Fernandina Beach.
The top four singles matches with Baldwin, and
both doubles matches, were victories for the Cats,
who are definitely in a rebuilding year.
The top three singles players from last year gradu-
ated, and first-year coach Allen Murphy is faced with
a very young team.
Several of his top players have only taken up the
game this past year, and though they have made
quick progress, they lack the experience of some of
their opponents.
Number one singles player Trey Baker won 8-1;
Spencer Burnette won 8-1 in the number two spot
and Samuel Murphy bested Baldwin's third seed
8-4. Number four Nicholas Dukeman won 8-1. The
streak came to an end in number five singles match
when Hunter Stavely fell 8-9, losing 12-10 in the tie-
breaker.
The doubles team of Baker and Burnette won 8-5
and the number two team of Stavely and Willis Hurst
won 9-8, winning the tiebreaker 12-10.
The Cats didn't fare as well against West Nassau
on February 18 in Callahan, losing a tough match 3-4.
They started off with four straight singles losses then
came back to win in number four and five singles as
Hurst won 8-6 and Dukeman won 8-2.
They lost the number one doubles match to clinch
the win for West Nassau, but Murphy and Duke-
man made it close with an 8-2 win in number two
doubles.
The Cats fell 1-8 at home against Yulee on Febru-
ary 23 with only Dukeman winning 8-3 in number
five singles. The Pirates of Fernandina swept the
boys 8-0 on February 25.


Lady Cats steal


win on the road


The Lady Wildcat softball
team continues to win, notching
a pair this past week. Though
Coach Jamie Rodgers was not
particularly encouraged by the
showing on the road against Fer-
nandina Beach on Thursday, the
girls played well enough to steal
the 6-5 victory from the Pirates.
"We were very sluggish Thurs-
day. Our effort was not good and
it almost cost us," said Rodgers.
The Lady Cats started bright-
ly, scoring four runs in the first
inning. But after the quick start,
they lost their intensity and Fer-
nandina got all four runs back in
the bottom of the first.
Starting pitcher Shelby Gatto
left the game in the second in-
ning with an injury to her throw-
ing hand. Haley Crews came on
to pitch the rest of the game and
was outstanding, allowing no
earned runs.
"Without Haley's performance
Thursday we would have lost a
game we should not have lost,"
said Rodgers. "Offensively we
were a little off all night."
Jordan Hand was the excep-
tion. She had a great night at the
plate with a double and an inside


the park home run for
the game winner. Crews
helped her cause with a
double.
The Cats had a much
better showing on Friday
night when First Coast
came to town. Rodgers
was much happier with
the team's performance
on the way to a 4-3 win.
"It was like watching
a different team. Our
energy and effort were
much better."
The Cats got on the
board first, scoring a trio
of runs in the second in-
ning. Cami Craig led off the in-
ning with a line drive single up
the middle, and Shelby Gatto
doubled off the right center field
wall. With runners on second and
third, Taylor Crummey laced a
double into right center to collect
two RBI's. Ashley Tracey provid-
ed the final run of the inning with
a bases loaded walk.
First Coast fought back with
single runs in the fourth, fifth
and sixth innings to tie the game.
With two outs in the bottom of
the seventh, Krista Smith lined

Cami Craig pitching.
a double down the left field line
to get into scoring position. Cami
Craig belted a hit up the middle
to bring Smith home and win
the game. Craig was the winning
pitcher with seven strong in-
nings.
"That was a big win for us
against a really good team. Win-
ning games like that build char-
acter for later in the season,"
commented Rodgers.
The Lady Cats host Bishop
Snyder at 5:00 and 6:00 pm on
Thursday.

work for weeks in advance of the sale to prepare for
it. They assemble plug trays using a seeding ma-
chine, then tend the trays during germination when
water, light and temperature are monitored.
Next, seedlings are separated from their soil
plugs, sorted and transplanted by hand into larger
flats. Students care for seedlings until they reach a
size desirable for purchase by the public.
"Students are fully responsible for the greenhous-


IKa


es so that means they even come here on weekends
to water," said Ms. Blythe.
She has been with the Baker County FFA horti-
culture instructor for the last three years and has
seen the students' participation in the horticulture
program grow almost exponentially. She is very
pleased with the expansion.
"My first year, I had two students. The next year,
25. This year it's up to 75 participating," said Ms.
Blythe.
Students
initially fo-
cus on topics
such as the
mechanics of
photosynthe-
sis and plant
respiration,
then go on to
study areas
like the effects
of fertilizer on
plant growth
and yield.
S They also learn
techniques
for propaga-
tion including
air layering
and growth
hormone root
generation.

to prepare a resume using their relevant horticulture
experience as sample content," said Ms. Blythe.
