Union County land value

increases by $36 million


According to records
released by the office of Union
County Property Appraiser
Steve Saunders, the total
:taxable value of all land and
property in Union County in
2007 was $238 million
:($238,207,737). In 2006, the
,total taxable value of land and
property was $202 million
($202,232,421).
The increase of almost $36
*million ($35,975,316)
constitutes a 17.8 percent
Increase over one year.
Some of that increase is due
to the expansion of existing
homes--and therefore an
increase in their value-and
some is due to new homes and
:other buildings being
constructed in the county.
SSome of that increase is also
:due, however, to the fact that
land and other property
increases in value each year.

According to figures
released by the Union County
Building Department, 70 new
single-family residences were
permitted in 2005-2006, but,
only 57 were permitted in
2006-2007. The 13. fewer
single-family residences
constitute an 18.6 percent drop
in the number of permits
issued for'. 'that:' type'. of '
construction over a period of
one year.
The building department
issued permits for 103 mobile
homes to be added to the
county in 2005-2006. The
number for 2006-2007 was
only 90. This constitutes a
drop of 12.6 percent over one
year.
In 2005-2006, nine permits
for additions_ to homes or
mobile homes were issued. In'
2006-2007, that number
increased to 14, a jump of 55
percent.
Commercial construction
decreased also. There were
four commercial construction
projects permitted in 2005-
2006 and only two issued in
2006-2007. This constitutes a
50 percent, decrease in one
year.
The two commercial
projects permitted in 2006-
2007 included a storage

Just after 7 p.m. on
Christmas Eve, Union County
Deputy Willie Lee was
dispatched to the S&S Food
Store on W. Main St. in Lake
Butler in response to a
robbery.
An investigation revealed
that an unidentified white male
had jumped the counter, struck
the cashier in the chest with a
large rock and then broke open
the cash register and removed
an undetermined amount of
cash. The suspect fled on foot
and could not be immediately
located. The cashier received
minor injuries.
Earlier in the evening just
after 5 p.m., the Union County
Sheriff's Office received
information from an FHP
officer that a vehicle rollover
accident had occurred in
Bradford County where the
driver, Justin Michael
Williams, 22, of Lake Butler,
had left the scene on foot and
obtained a ride to the Lake
Butler area.

The new CVS/Pharmacy is
nearly 11,500 square feet and
sits on 4.08 acres. The building
has an appraised value of
$1,081,000.
With 26 fewer permits being
issued than during the previous
year, the county seems to be
experiencing a decline in
growth. ,
Billy Woodington, Real
Estate Broker with Vision
Realty of North Florida,
attributes much of that decline
to the fact that taxes and the
cost of homeowners insurance
has risen across the state of
Florida.
"S.me people are afraid of
the market status especially
when they find renewal rates
for homeowners insurance to
be as much- as 50 percent.
higher than what they were
paying before," Woodington
said. The higher premium
costs are due to insurance
companies taking so many
losses from hurricane disasters
over the past few years.
Additionally, the selling
market is lower because of the
higher cost in property taxes.
Woodington explained that
with Save Our Homes, a buyer
who purchased a home 20
years ago will pay less
property tax than a new buyer

at the current millage rate
because of the 3 percent
annual assessment cap on their
homestead exemption.
"Homeowners are leery of
selling and building a new
home, because the longer they
stay in their home, the better
Save Our Homes value they
receive," he said.
However, when comparing
the 2007 market to the 2004
market, Woodington said the
La*'** : "L "lttil!ti)I *'lli, tifig'!i
system has about the same
number of properties being
sold in the area. The
difference, he said, is that in
2004, there were only about
100 realtors selling in the area
equating each to about 1.5
sales a month.
"That being a pretty good
average, we suddenly had 300
realtors selling in the area.
Taking the same amount of
sales averaged out over 300
realtors and it looks to be
about one sale every three
months," Woodington said.
He believes things are
looking up in the area, and said
it's never been a better time to
buy. Rates are at a historical
low of 5 /4 percent.

Questionable acts at New River Regional Landfill


Buckmasters make

donation to UC 4-H


The purchase of surplus
equipment by two Bradford
County commissioners was
questioned; board chairman
claims reassignments are
coincidental.

It was reported in The
Telegraph on Dec. 20 that
purchases at a public -auction
of surplus equipment by two
county commissioners at the
New River Regional Landfill
had come under scrutiny. The
New River Regional Landfill
serves Union, Bradford and
Baker counties.
Bradford County
Commissioners Doyle Thomas
and Eddie Lewis both made
purchases while sitting on the
landfill governing board that
approved those purchases.
Although both submitted
sealed offers through the
advertised competitive bid
process, they were two of only
four commissioners voting to
decide whether or not to accept
or reject the bids.
Although there is nothing
illegal about commissioners
participating in a public
auction so long as they follow
the rules, it still didn't sit well
with Randy Gaskins of
Bradford Garbage Service,
who came forward to say he
felt the process was unfair.
Gaskins particularly
objected to the fact that
Thomas and Lewis were
-- approyvgp purchases even
though the offers they
submitted were sometimes
well below the minimum
purchase prices that had been
.set for some of the equipment.
Gaskins said the
commissioners would likely
turn around and sell the
equipment at a profit.
The newspaper ad placed by
the. Landfill stated that
minimum bids would be
required of some items, but
also spelled out the board's
discretion in accepting or
rejecting any offer. Lewis had
,; ',sked at the landfill board's
October meeting if bids below
the minimum asking price
could be accepted and


Executive Director Darrell
O'Neal said that was up to the
board. If there was a decision
not to award a particular piece
of equipment to the bidder, the
landfill could sell if for scrap.
The bid opening was held in
November. Out of 18 items in
the auction, Thomas bid on 12
and won seven. Most were
Very used vehicles. Four of
Those items were listed. with
minimum asking prices, which
Thomas did not meet, but
nevertheless won because he
was the sole bidder.
Thomas was outbid on five
other items, four of which
were listed with minimum
asking prices. In all:four cases,
the winning bidder either met
or exceeded the minimum
asking price. Thomas' bids
only exceeded the minimum
asking price on one piece of
equipment.
Lewis bid on five of the
items, three of which were
listed with minimum asking
prices. He was the sole bidder
on two of those items, for
which he did not meet the
minimum asking price, but
was awarded the equipment as
the lone bidder. He did submit
a bid above the minimum on a
third item, but was outbid by
another party.
Lewis also won the two
items he bid on without
minimum asking prices. In
both cases he outbid the
landfill's assistant director,
Perry Kent.
Both Thomas and Lewis
deny any wrongdoing.
Lewis said he didn't feel it
was unfair. to have a vote in
accepting the bids because the
director and assistant director
had recommended the offers
be approved. Thomas said the
fairness question was
debatable and he would be
glad to let them rebid the items'
if it was a problem.
Interesting to note is that,
while Thomas and Lewis bid
on a total of 17 of the 18 items
up for auction, the
commissioners never bid
against one another for the
same piece of equipment.
However, both denied any
collusion prior to submitting


their sealed offers, attributing
it to mere coincidence.

Thomas' purchases:
-1988 International refuse
truck for $300; minimum
asking price (MAP) $3,500.
-1991 CCC refuse rear
loader for $300; MAP $1,000.
-1993 Dodge pickup for
$50; MAP $100.
-1975 Ford 8000 truck for
$300; MAP $1,500.
-2001 Ford F350 truck bed
for $150; no MAP.
-Refuse dump bed rear pack
for $100; no MAP.
-Ambulance body for $108;
no MAP.
Thomas' losing bids:
-1988 Bandit chipper; MAP
$1,000; Thomas bid $500;
winning bid $2,355 from
Florida Tractor Repair.
-2000 Gator Sportsman;
MAP $1,500; Thomas bid
$500; winning bid $2,355 from
Florida Tractor Repair.
-1980 Dodge pickup; MAP
$500; Thomas bid $300;
winning bid $500 from Ernest
Robidoux.
-1994 763 Bobcat loader;'
MAP $1,500; Thomas bid
$1,850; winning bid $2,601.99
from Mike Marshall.
-Chevy Dually pickup; No
MAP; Thomas bid $100;
winning bid $275 from Florida
Tractor Repair.
Lewis' purchases:
-1991 Ford F800 for $800;
MAP $1,500.
-68 AMGC 6x6 fuel truck
for $1,010; MAP 1,500.
-Knuckle boom for $200;
No MAP.
-Model 8600 dump body for
$300; No MAP.
Lewis' losing bid:
-1989 John Deere backhoe;
MAP $1,000; Lewis bid
$3,505; winning bid $3,755
from Florida Tractor Repair.

It was then reported the
following week in The
Telegraph that Commissioners
Doyle Thomas and Eddie
Lewis were no longer assigned
to the New River Solid Waste
Association, the governing
board of the New River
Regional Landfill.

UC deputy receives-Christmas bonus:

man goes out of his way to be arrested


BY TERESA STONE-IRWIN
Times Staff Writer

In the early morning hours
of- Dec. 24, Union County
Sheriff's Deputy David Shane
was dispatched numerous
times to a residence on C.R.
125 in reference to a
disturbance.

Upon arriving at the
residence, Ronald Sawyer, 35,
told the deputy that his
girlfriend, Roxanne Griffis,
also at the residence, had been
smoking crack with someone
named Troy. Sawyer said that
prior to her leaving the
residence earlier, Griffis, 32,
punched him in the face and
smashed out the passenger side
window of his vehicle.
When the deputy spoke to
Griffis, she stated that Sawyer
had intentionally cut his own
face and hit himself in the face
with his crutch as well as
smashing his own car window.
Sawyer admitted to cutting his
own face and smashing the
window and the parties agreed
to stop arguing.
Sawyer approached Shane
saying someone asked to hire
him as a hitman to kill
Roxanne in exchange for
$5,000 and a cookie of crack.
After giving the name of the
suspect to Shane, Sawyer went
on to say that he was also
aware of an individual who
had recently purchased a large
amount of illegal narcotics.
Shane gave Sawyer his
contact information and told
him to call later in regards to
supplying information in
regards to illegal drug activity.
Sawyer then asked Shane for a
ride to a friend's house, in
which Shane complied.
Within a few minutes,
Sawyer contacted Shane
stating he knew the
whereabouts of illegal
narcotics as well as a person
who had several outstaian...5
warrants for! arrest in Union
County. Shane advised Sawyer
he would get back in touch
with him.
A Union County Sheriff's
Office dispatcher notified
Shane that Sawyer was
repeatedly calling the station
and requesting to speak with


him. The dispatcher then
relayed that Sawyer had again
called the sheriff's office and
said he would be driving on
S.R. 121 in a red truck with
numerous stolen weapons and
narcotics inside the vehicle.
Shane immediately
telephoned the number left by
Sawyer and reached Griffis,
asking her to tell Sawyer not to
leave the residence until he
arrived. Sawyer agreed to do
so.
When Shane approached
S.R. 121 and C.R. 125, he
observed a red truck without a
tag driving along the road and
initiated a traffic stop. When
the deputy approached the
driver's side of the truck, he
saw that both the passenger
and the driver had their hands
on the dashboard, with a
loaded shotgun in an upright
position located between the
two of them.
The passenger, later
identified as Troy Thrift, 40,
made an attempt to reach for
the shotgun and Shane quickly
drew his handgun and ordered
him out of the vehicle and
handcuffed him.


Sawyer, who was in the
driver's seat, stated it was not
his vehicle and was ordered
out as Shane observed a 1-foot
long sheath attached to his leg.
Sawyer was asked to place his
hands behind his back, but
instead turned and faced
Deputy Shane.
The deputy grabbed
Sawyer's arm and as he fell
onto the ground, Shane located
what appeared to be a black
pistol in Sawyer's waistband,
which was found to be a BB
gun. Sawyer was handcuffed
and gave consent to search the
vehicle in which Shane
retrieved the shotgun and a
round of ammunition.
Thrift stated that he was the
owner of the shotgun and the
truck, but wasn't driving
because he did not have a valid
license. Sawyer stated that he
was willing to set up a
purchase of crack cocaine from
another party whereby Shane
explained to him that if he and
Thrift were interested in
working with narcotics

suggest otherwise, Chandler
said his decision was not
related to public objections
raised to Thomas' and Lewis'
participation in a surplus
auction while serving on the
landfill board.
Chandler assigned himself
and Commissioner John
Wayne Hersey to replace
Thomas and Lewis as
Bradford's representatives to
the New River Solid Waste
Association.
"There was no decision to
'remove them.' From time to
time when we change
chairmen, the chairman selects
any of those (boards) that he
wants to assign them," said
Chandler, who was appointed
to serve as chairman of the
county commission earlier this
month.
Chandler assigned his
former position on the
Transportation Disadvantaged
Board to Lewis. Thomas will
serve as an alternate to the
New River Solid Waste
Asscri.intinn o no who is
available to fill in if one of the
two assigned members cannot
be present.
Thomas said it was the
chairman's prerogative to make
those assignments as he sees
fit.
"He's in charge," said
Thomas, who believes he's
served on the landfill board
since he was elected in 1998,
often holding the office of
chairman.
Lewis agreed, but admitted he
was a little hurt by the move.
"I had one or two things I
had kind of fought for that I
was hoping I would be able to
continue to fight for," said
Lewis.
Neither commissioner feels
their role in the auction had
anything to do with Chandler's
decision. Lewis said his
understanding is that the
appointments were decided
prior to any press related to the
matter.

The above information was
taken from articles published
in The Telegraph by its editor,
Mark Crawford.

Union Depot Pavilion
On Sept. 10, 2007, the city
of Lake Butler awarded
construction of the Union
Depot Pavilion project to
Richard O. Tillis Contracting
in the amount of $160,010.
The pavilion is funded by a
$200,000 grant from- the
Florida Recreational
Development Assistance
Program.
Construction at the pavilion,
part of Florida's Rails to Trails
project, is currently underway.
The footer is poured and the
stem wall is being put in place
this week.
The project will feature a
covered pavilion alongside the
existing exercise and
stretching area, and will
resemble the design of the'...---
original Union train depot that
once stood on the site.
The site will also include a
parking area with sidewalks
leading up to covered picnic
areas and exercise equipment,
complete with a kiosk and
restrooms. The area will be

At approximately 11:30 p.m.-
on Dec. 27, off-duty Deputy
Leslie James Crews pulled off
to the side of the roadway after
the driver of a vehicle
traveling behind him began
flashing his lights.
Crews was approached by
Larry Dobbs, 37, of Raiford,
who asked if he could
purchase a twenty bag (a
reference to marijuana) from
him. Crews identified himself
as a Union County Sheriff
Deputy and drove away to a
nearby gas station in Raiford.
Dobbs then pulled up behind
Crews at the gas station and
again asked if he knew where
he could get a twenty bag. At
that point, Deputy Crews
telephoned Deputy Shane and
told him what had taken place
and gave him his location.
When Shane arrived, he
observed Crews and two
subjects standing at the rear of
a vehicle identified as Dobbs
and his passenger, Lewis
Alexander.

Tillis is also overseeing
work being done at the
recreational park.
A two-story building will be
constructed that will have open
windows facing four ball fields
(two of which will be new
fields).
The new building will have
an upstairs press box for each
field along with a concession
stand and larger restroom
facilities on the first floor. This
work is expected to be
completed sometime between
May and June of this year.

Courthouse renovations
taking place
Tillis was awarded with
overseeing the courthouse
renovations as well. The
county received a $100,000
grant for renovations to the
jury box area and recarpeting
the entire second floor of the
courthouse. The new carpet is
expected to be delivered in
early February.
However, Tillis said it will
be challenging to complete the
renovations around court
sessions.
The courtroom renovations


include increasing the size of
the jury box seating area.
"The rows are quite crowded
and once you are seated in the
jury box, you're not getting up
without disrupting everyone in
the row. It is also inaccessible
for the handicapped," Tillis
said. The existing jury box also
includes a very narrow step
which has caused many people
to trip and fall.
Each row in the jury box is
to be extended by almost two
feet, allowing a member of the
jury to exit the area without
everyone else needing to get
up and move out of their seats
or stumbling. The
fingerprinting machine will
also be relocated to the
eastside of the courtroom. At
present, it is located right in
front of the judge which causes
delays in proceedings.

LBMS
The construction of six new
classrooms to be placed at
Lake Butler Middle School is
being bid out to contractors.
The existing middle school is
currently undergoing a soffit
and drainage repair project by
ACC Buildings.

Thrift told the deputy that
Sawyer was a convicted felon
and did not have a valid
driver's license. It was
discovered that Sawyer was, in
fact, a convicted felon and that
he did have a suspended
license and had been caught
driving with his license
suspended twice in the past.
Sawyer was escorted to the
Union County jail and was
relieved of his 1-foot knife and
round of shotgun ammunition
prior to being placed in the
cell.


An officer at the jail asked
Sawyer if he had any further
illegal substances on his
person and Sawyer stated that
he did not. The officer then
located a pocket knife under
each handle of the crutches he
was using to walk.
The officer found yet another
pocket knife in Sawyer's arm
cast and another in his leg cast.
The officer recovered a total of
four pocket knives.
Sawyer was charged with a
second degree felony for three
counts of possession of a
firearm/ammo by a convicted
felon, driving with a

and he then placed Dobbs in

revealed four hydrocodone
pills for which Dobbs, did not
have a prescription.
In a search of the vehicle,
Shane recovered a semi-
automatic handgun and a
round of ammunition. Also
found in the vehicle was a
placti hap with a substance


marijuana, a plastic bag
containing cocaine, a razor
blade, and an empty beer can
with holes poked in the side of
it which smelled of ammonia
(a method used for smoking
crack cocaine.) Dobbs' vehicle
was turned over to his father
and numerous open containers
were removed and thrown in
the trash.


Dobbs stated that the firearm
belonged to him, but the
cocaine and marijuana did not,
nor did he know how they got
inside his vehicle. Alexander
also' stated the narcotics did
not belong to him.
Since both men denied
ownership of the narcotics well
within reach of both of them,
Shane charged them both with


possession and transported
them to the Union County jail.
All items were put into
evidence with a hold placed
on the firearm pending proof
of ownership by Dobbs.
Alexander has a lengthy
arrest record dating back to
1983. Most recently, he served
a 15-month sentence for a
2004 burglary.

Regional News

News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region area



New Blanding commander found his niche in Guard


BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Serving and helping
others-that's what Col. J.M.
"Mickey" Duren enjoys doing.
He has done so in a variety of
capacities in the Florida
National Guard and looks to
continue that in his new
position as commander of the
Camp Blanding Joint Training
Center.
S"I enjoy helping people,"
Duren said. -"I've always
enjoyed helping people."
That's what being at Camp
Blanding-in any position-is
all about, Duren said. The post,
he said, consists of a variety of
people, military and non-
military, working together
toward a common goal-
providing excellent customer
service. That ranges from
providing the best training
opportunities for Guardsmen
to best meeting the needs of
retired Guardsmen and their
families who visit the post for
recreational opportunities.
"Everybody who comes
through our gates is a
customer," Duren said. "We
want to ensure that we're
providing absolutely the best
customer service to whoever
comes through that gate."
SThat is by no means a
revelation to Duren, who
replaces CoL Benny Nelson.
Duren, of course, as a member
of the Guard, has been at
Camp Blanding before. In fact,
he served as commander of
both the 853' Supply and
Service Company and 927t
Corps Support Battalion, both
of which are headquartered at
Blanding.
::"This is my third time being
a commander, actually, at
Camp Blanding," Duren said.
;. Duren is also familiar with
the area, having visited the
former Strickland's Landing as
a child. The Jacksonville
native, who now lives in St.
Augustine, is looking forward
to familiarizing himself mure
with Bradford and Clay
counties and the leaders of
both.
"That's one of my goals here
as the commander at Camp
Blanding-to interact more
with the local community
'leaders. The community is
vital to what goes on here at
Camp Blanding. We want to
be involved in what goes on in
our community."
Duren has been involved in
the Florida National Guard for
approximately 33 years. He
joined the Guard as a member
of the 853rd Supply and
Service Company one year
after graduating from Paxon
High School in Jacksonville,
t lked into doing so by one of
his managers at the Winn-
Dixie store he was working at.
For Duren, the Guard
offered him the chance to
venture away from home. He
had never traveled far from the
west side of Jacksonville.
"When (my manager) started
walking. to me about the

The Bradford-Union Swine

Starke Relay
for Life 'Kick-
Off Party' is
Tuesday
A "Kick-Off Party" for the
American Cancer Society's
Relay for Life in Starke will
take place Tuesday, Jan. 8, at
6:30 p.m. in the community
room of Capital City Bank.
Anyone who has
participated in Relay for Life
in the past or who plans on
participating this year is
encouraged to attend and
welcome the event's new
chair, B.J. Warwick. Warwick,
who lives in Starke, is a recent
cancer survivor.
This year's Relay for Life is
scheduled for May 2-3.
If you are interested in
attending Tuesday's party,
please R.S.V.P. by calling
Brett Hipsley at (352) 376-


6866. Food and beverages will
be served.


National Guard and all the
different adventures' I would
get to do, it was just an easy
sell," Duren said. "At that
time. there wasn't a war going


on. Vietnam had basically just
ended. It was just about new
experiences."
After serving as an enlisted
member, Duren faced the


decision of whether to join the
Guard full time or devote all
his time to retail sales. He was
making more money as a store
manager, but what he loved


was the Guard.
So in 1982, Duren began
attending U.S. Army Officer
Candidate School at Fort
Benning, Ga.


"I decided that was the best
career path for me at that
time," he said.

waters south of a line running
due west from the westernmost
point of Fred Howard Park
Causeway, which is. about 1.17
miles south of the
Pinellas/Pasco counties line.
This two-month closure occurs
each year to help maintain the

these areas is four fish per
person. In all Florida waters
north and west of these areas,
the daily limit is five fish per
person.
The statewide slot limit for
spotted seatrout is 15-20
inches total length. However,
anglers may keep one spotted
seatrout larger than 20 inches
as part of the daily bag limits.
Spotted seatrout may not be
harvested by using any
multiple hooks with live or
dead natural bait, and snagging
pr snatch hooking spotted
seatrout is not allowed.
Spotted seatrout may be taken
only with hook, line gear and
cast nets and must be landed in
a whole condition.
The harvest of spotted

BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
If someone- asks -Veronica'
Harris or Kristen Rodgers what
one of their highlights of 2007
was, they could respond by
saying they were not cold and
wet on Thanksgiving.
Harris and Rodgers, who are
both band students at Bradford
High School, participated in,
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade with other high school
students from throughout the
country as part of the Macy's
Great American Marching
Band for the second straight
Year. They / have many
memories of their trip to New
York, but one thing that stood
out was that the weather was
so much better than it was
during the 2006 parade.
"It wasn't raining, and you
weren't slipping or stepping in
puddles," Rodgers said.
That wasn't the only
difference between the two
trips. For starters, there was
the mode of travel. Harris,
Rodgers and fellow band
student Lindsey Solze, who
graduated in 2007, traveled to
New York in 2006 by train.
This year, Harris, a junior, and
Rodgers, a senior, traveled by
plane.
Rodgers had never flown
before, so that was a scary
prospect at first, she said. She
admitted to being nervous
prior to takeoff as the plane
still sat motionless on the
runway, but she eventually
relaxed.
"When it took off," she said,
"I was like, 'This is going to
be fun."'
Harris had flown before, so
that was no big deal to her. She
said she may not be crazy
about flying, but the trip sure
beat riding 21 hours on a train.
Another difference in 2007
was that the students spent a
lot more time rehearsing than
they did in 2006.
"Our first rehearsal was only
about two or three hours long,"
Rodgers said. "The second
rehearsal, though, was seven or
eight hours long."
Rodgers said that second
rehearsal was tiring and
repetitive, but she and Harris
both agreed it was worth it.
Not only did the students
rehearse for a longer period of
time, they boarded the buses
on Thanksgiving morning a lot
earlier than they did in 2006.
They had to be on the buses at


Bradford High
School
students
Kristen
Rodgers (far
left) and
Veronica Harris
are pictured in
their roles as
drum majors
during a
performance at
the half of a
football game
this past
season.


1:30 a.m. as compared to 3
a.m. in 2006.
Harris said the students were
excused to their rooms earlier
the night before on this recent
trip because they did not have
a seminar to attend. She took
advantage of that and went to
bed in an attempt to get some
sleep, but Rodgers stayed
awake.
"I actually didn't even go to
bed that night," Rodgers said.
"It just wasn't worth it."
Harris said performing in the
parade was still a little scary
regardless of her experience in
2006. The magnitude of the
event made it so.
"You'll get into the music
and then realize three million
people are watching me," she
said. "A bunch of people are
seeing me on the parade route.
It's a sudden realization of
what you're doing there. It's a
crazy thought."
Still, Harris and Rodgers
were able to take on the roles
of parade veterans and calm
the nerves of those who were
participating for the first time.
"This year, I realized there
were other people
experiencing what I felt last
year," Rodgers said. "They
were getting nervous. I was
telling them, 'It's OK. It's not
that bad."'
"It was cool to be able to
comfort other people who were
really nervous and help them
learn from our experiences (in
2006)," Harris said, .-.' .""
The interaction; with. other
high school Sttideints'"weit :
beyond merely calming the


nerves of first-time
participants. Rodgers said she.
and Harris made a lot more
friends this time around
compared to 2006, though she
added Harris did make-a lot of
friends that year, as well.
"It was just really good to
see some of those people
again," Harris said.
Rodgers remembered how
excited so many of the
students were after the parade.
She spent her time back at the


* Auto Accidents
* Work Injuries
* Headaches
* Neck and Back Pain


hotel talking to others about
the experience.
"Some of us sat in the
hallway," she said. "We were
talking to first-time people.
They were like, 'This is so
exciting.' They just couldn't
calm down."
It was quite a different scene
from 2006 when the cold, wet
students returned to their hotel
and slept, Rodgers said.

Lawtey
parade makes
for a special
Christmas
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank, the
citizens of Lawtey who
orchestrated the Lawtey
Christmas parade. It was an
event.worth braving the cold
weather for. For a smaller
community, one would not
have expected the participants
that were in the parade. I was
impressed with the show
of community pride involved.
Also, I would like to
commend Jeanette Phillips and
the Lawtey Recreation
Department members for
providing a truly merry
Christmas event for the local
community. Every child in
attendance received a gift, and
mfny;, many individuals
walked away with one of the
inany door prizes or gifts that
vere part of the drawings held.
0 I am glad to have been able
to experience the events held
in Lawtey on Dec. 22. The
Lawtey Christmas party
sponsored by the recreation
department showed the
metanig of giving during the
hol ays.

Restaurant
crosses line
with use of
Santa
Dear Editor:
I would like to voice my
opinion on an advertising
matter that just has me
appalled. Several times this
past week, my husband and I
have gone into downtown.
Keystone for various reasons. I
am very disturbed to see that a
local restaurant had someone
dressed imia Sanwtuit wal g8..
back and north, at the come
S.R. 21 artdNHIWy0.1caro0 t
a sign that advertised their full
bar-not their menu, but their
full bar.
We ban alcohol from our
parks, school functions and
most other places where our
children gather, and then allow
some restaurant to advertise
their alcohol by someone in a
Santa suit at the main
intersection of our beautiful
town?
I don't oppose the sale of
alcohol. What I do oppose is
using Santa to do it. I wonder
how old the person under that
costume was. Why is it that
there are sign restrictions here,
but there don't seem to be any
restrictions of
someone standing on a street
corner holding a sign
advertising this particular
restaurant?
This has been an ongoing
occurrence at lunch time for
several weeks now. While I do
not live within the city limits, I
do think that the city council,
mayor and our new
city manager should look into


this.
They also have invaded
personal e-mail with their
advertising. I have never given
them my e-mail address and
resent the use of it. I have no
idea how they obtained it.
Come on Keystone. Speak
out.
Connie Califano


Ethics of
public officials
questioned
Dear Editor:
Now let me see if I have got
this right. The front page of the
Dec. 20 paper reported that
Mr. Eddie Lewis and Mr.
Doyle Thomas sat on the board
of directors of the New River
Regional Landfill. These
Bradford County
commissioners represent two
of the four members of that
board. The other two come
from another county.
These people establish the
rules and course of conduct
and guidelines for all activities
of the New River landfill
operation. With reference to
this equipment auction, they
approve of the way something
is to be sold, including
minimum bids and things of
that nature. So why was it
necessary for them to ask the
landfill director if it was OK
for someone to put in a bid that
was less than the established
minimum bid?.
Next question: When and
where was this auction
advertised? I have looked
through the Telegraph dating
back to September and didn't
locate a public auction for
these items. The auction might
have been in another paper or
posted in a public place, and if
so, it seems that this method
might just be questionable if
they really\wanted to: get the
best buck for'the items sold.
Something is wrong when

clearly .-.dvertised for
maximum effect and the rules
that are made are lived by for.
all, or they are not.
It seems to me that the New
River Solid Waste outfit has
been manipulated unethically
and for the gain of those who
set the rules in the first place.
Now here is the real ball-
buster: The members of the
commission asked the director
if it was OK to bid less than
the minimum bid (keep in
mind that he works for them)
when he told them it was up to
them. They then turn to the
lawyer with the same question
(guess who he works for), and,
they get a thumbs up. Jjst why
do you think there are always
two lawyers in every court
case? Right, because there are
two sides to evpry issue.
I would suggest that it is not
ethical for a person in the
position bf 'power and
authority to be involved in an
issue where his or her personal
interest is concerned. I believe

DEBT RELIEF IS NOT TAX RELIEF!


You've certainly heard
and read many reports about
defaults on mortgage loans.
There are many reasons
homeowners face such situa-
tions, some of which are
completely beyond their con-
trol. There are also several
solutions, but each carries a
consequence.
In one example, a family
had to relocate for an attrac-
tive job offer. The home
they were selling languished
in a slow market for over six
months, and they defaulted
because they couldn't contin-
ue the mortgage payments.
Their agent negotiated a
"short sale," whereby the
lender accepted an offer that
was $10,000 less than the
loan balance (rather than
begin unpleasant foreclosure
proceedings). Ifftthis case,
it's important to understand


that the shortfall is consid-
ered "debt relief' and is
reported as taxable income
to the IRS.
Since the sellers didn't
have to repay.that $10,000 to
the lender, theIRS consid-
ered it the same as $10,000
income. This debt relief
from a short sale is consid-
ered taxable to the borrow-
ers, and the corresponding
Formi 1099 must be reported.
This is one of the simpler
scenarios created by defaults
or foreclosures, which are
becoming more common as
market corrections and rising
interest rates prevail. No
matter what reason you or
someone you know might be
facing default, it is absolute-
ly critical to consult with a
tax adviser and a trusted real
estate agent before deciding
how to proceed.

PARADE
Continued from page 3B

Well, it was different for
some. An exhausted Harris did
not even bother with taking a
shower. She went into
Rodgers' room while Rodgers
was out talking to people and
crashed.
"I just passed out," Harris
said.
The students did have time
to take in the sights of New
York while they were there.
That included a trip to a church
near the site of the former
World Trace Center Twin
Towers. A memorial to those
who perished on Sept. 11,
2001, was on display.
"It was really heartbreaking
to go there' and see that,"
Harris said.
That was one of the more
memorable moments of the
trip for Harris. On a lighter
note, she also enjoyed seeing
the Rockettes perform at the
Radio City Christmas-
Spectacular. Rodgers said the
2007 show was a little
different from the one she and
Harris saw in 2006 as it was
the show's 75th anniversary.
"They added extia scenes
and extra songs," Rodgers
said. "It was really good."
One of Rodgers' favorite
parts of the trip was being able
to gaze out upon the city from
atop the Rockefeller Center.
"You never realize how big
New York City is until you
stand on top of one of the
buildings and just look out,"
she said. "You can't see all the
buildings because they're so
far away. It just goes on for
miles and miles."
However, the awesome sight
did not make Rodgers feel like
a fish out of water. Far from it.
In fact, she said she has come
to realize that though she has
lived in Bradford County for
approximately 10 years, she
feels she is more of a city girl
than a country girl. Sure, she
can do without the "pushiness"
of a lot of the people in New
York, she said, but she enjoys
the city's architecture and the
general lifestyle that comes
with living there.
"I actually have this dream,"
Rodgers said. "Hopefully one
day', after I finish college, I
want to go work at St.

Vincent's Midtown (Hospital)
in New York City. That's
where I want to live."
Harris said she is the exact
opposite of Rodgers. She is no
stranger to New York, since
her mother lives there, but phe
could not envision living in the
big city..
"While I was there, I
realized how truly blessed I am
to live in Starke," Harris said.
Harris, as a junior, has the
chance, to make a third trip to
New York to participate as
part of the Great American
Marching Band. She's not sqre
yet if she will go again.
One reason for that is that
she wants to continue to
treasure her first trip there in
2006. What she found when
she went this past time was
that she was constantly
comparing her experience to
that one in 2006.
"I still want to make the first
experience the experience of a
lifetime," she said. "Doing it
over and over again is going to
lessen the experience."
Another factor in Harris'
decision is cost. She and
Rodgers said the cost of
participating is increasing each
year. Rodgers said there was a
$400 jump in the cost from
2006 to 2007. In fact, there
were times where Harris and
Rodgers thought they were not
going to be able to go this past
year. Rodgers even retuIrned
checks to businesses that had
given her donations to help
fund the trip.
One such returned check
went to George Roberts
Insurance. That's when Lori
Thompson, who works for the
agency, took it upon herself to
help raise the necessary funds,
Rodgers said. Thompson and
the employees at the insurance
agency helped raise enough
money to cover Rodgers' cost
of the trip hnd give her a little
extra spending money.
"They're' just amazing
people," Rodgers said. "I am
so thankful for them."
"It truly was a blessing that
they did that for her," Harris
said. ' i
If a student can raise the
necessary funds, though, both
Harris and Rodgers
recommend taking the trip and
participating in the parade.
"It is a great experience,"
Harris said.

Lady Tigers

record sweep

of Baker Co.
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Baker County proved to be a
much more difficult opponent
on its home court, but the
Union County girls' basketball
team still came away with a
47-43 win on Dec. 21.
Four days previously, the
Tigers (13-1) hosted Baker
County, defeating the Wildcats
by 32 points.
"I told the girls Baker was
much better at home," Union
head coach Perry Davis said.
"They played us real tough."
Union was without leading
rebounder Terissa Nutt, who
has been ill. Davis said his
team had a poor showing in
terms of rebounding in the first
half. However, he said BeBe
Lawrence came off the bench
and provided the team a spark
by grabbing five big rebounds
in a span of a few minutes.
Baker held a 22-21 lead at
the half, but the Tigers
outscored the Wildcats 16-9 in
the third quarter.
"We had a great third
quarter and were able to make
some adjustments to their
defense," Davis said.
Amber Franzluebbers led the
team with 21 points and 12
rebounds. Sharmaine Couch
and Ashli Watkins scored 10
and eight points, respectively,
while Lareesa Jackson dished
out four assists.
Union will resume action
when it travels to take on
Keystone Heights on Tuesday,
Jan. 8, in a District 6-3A
matchup at 7:30 p.m. The
Tigers are currently atop the
district standings with a 4-0
record.

KHHS boys

end 3-game

slide in soccer
BY CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
It was senior night for the
Middleburg boys' soccer team,
but it was a trio of Keystone
Heights seniors that stole the
show in the Indians' 2-0 win
on Dec. 21.
The Indians (8-8-1), who
ended a three-game slide, were
denied several scoring
opportunities in the first half.
They did find the net,
however, when senior Ryan
Miller fed a pass to senior
Maurice Godau, whose shot
went off the bottom of the top
bar for a goal in the 22nd
minute.
Both teams went back and
forth in a second half that
remained scoreless until the
66"t minute. That's when a
charging Godau headed in a
free kick by senior Brad Gober
to put Keystone up 2-0.
The play of the seniors was
key, but Keystone also got a
huge contribution from a
freshman-goalie Tim
Frysinger. Frysinger made six
saves and achieved his first
career shutout.
Keystone head coach Trevor
Waters said he was pleased
with the play of his team's
defense overall. Players such
as Gober, Justin Branch, Justin.
Hedding and Darby Johns
made the difference in the
match, Waters said.
Offensively, Keystone took
24 shots on goal. Middleburg
attempted just eight shots.
The Indians host Ridgeview
on Tuesday, Jan. 8, in the first
of four straight home games.
Keystone plays Clay on
Thursday, Jan. 10, Fernandina
Beach on Friday, Jan. 11, P.K.
Yonge on Monday, Jan. 14.
All matches are scheduled
for 7 p.m.
