75th Year, Vol. 43 Thursday February 3, 2005 Macclenny, Florida 500


Chronic


offender


is given


10-year


sentence

A Macclenny man was sentenc-
ed to 10 years in prison for selling
cocaine near Keller Intermediate
School in 2003.
Michael Moring, 24, pled no con-
test to drug charges in several cases
on the eve of trial January 20.
He had been serving a sentence
imposed after a trial last year, and
will receive credit against his 10-
year sentence for 218 days he's al-
ready served.

Defendant Michael
Moring had been
arrested four times
over a six month
period for drug sales.

Over a period of six months in
2003, Mr. Moring was arrested four
separate times on drug charges.
In June, he sold $30 worth of
.crack cocaine to a police informant
out of a house on Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard.
..The location was within 1000.
feet of a school, which state law
treats more severely. .
Three months later, he was back
selling crack from the same place
to another informant.
A week later he was stopped
while driving on US 90 by an offi-
cer who knew his license had been
suspended. The deputy found crack
in the car.
Finally in December, while Mr.
Moring was being arrested at his
Sycamore Street home for the June
crack sale to the informant, he was
charged with illegal possession of a
prescription drug.
In another case settled before tri-
al, Lester Stewart of Sanderson was
sentenced to three years for traf-
ficking in cocaine. He will get
credit for 45 days already served.
Prosecutors dropped a charge of
selling a controlled substance.
The jury had already been cho-
sen to hear the case when the plea
agreement was reached January 20
Mr. Stewart sold 33.5 grams of
powder cocaine to a police infor-
mant for $1200 in October 2003 in
Sanderson.
Immediately after the transac-
tion. which took place October 3,
2003 in Sanderson, investigators
went into the home and arrested
him.
In other cases, Judge David
Giant on January 24 issued the fol-
lowing sentences:
SHenry Brannlr received 90
days, with credit for 90 days alrea-
dy served, after pleading no contest
burglary and theft charges. He also
must serve five years' probation.
Gloria Davis pled no contest to
petit theft and received one year's
probation. She had been charged
with grand theft auto and grand
theft.
Michael Jackson was sentenc-
ed to 18 months in prison for sexu-
al battery on a child.
William Taylor pled no contest
to misdemeanor possession of mar-
ijuana, possession of drug para-
phernalia and reckless driving. He
was sentenced to 30 months of pro-
bation. Prosecutors dropped a
charge of sale/possession of a con-
trolled substance. The reckless dri-
ving plea was a downgrade from
the original charge of driving under
the influence.
Catherine Wright was sentenc-
ed to three years of drug-offender
probation after pleading no contest
to forgery charges and possession
of cocaine.


Developer input


on proposed law


to require paving


Motorcyclecar collision injures two Thursday
Police taped off the scene of a two vehicle collision at the intersection of SR 121 and Mud Lake Road about noon on January 27. The
driver on a borrowed southbound motorcycle sustained a severe leg injury when his bike struck the Camaro in the background. The
driver of the car pulled onto 121 from the eastbound lane ahead of a southbound tractor-trailer on 121 about the same time the motor-
cycle was passing it at an angle hidden from the driver's view. The Florida Highway Patrol was unable to locate an accident report
with the names of the drivers and other details. Both were hospitalized.


Pineview golf club


on selling block?
The 139 acre privately-owned Pineview Golf and Country
Club will likely be sold to a private land development group
that in turn plans to sell off the adjacent Broken Oak Subdivis-
ion in the beginning phases of development just to the south f
off Lowder St.
Wayne Combs, president of the four member Broken Oak
group, confirmed Tuesday a contract pends on purchase of the
40-year-old 18 hole course owned by Dr. Gary Dopson, who is
also mayor of Macclenny. Both the properties lie in the city
limits.
Dr. Dopson, a private practice family physician, deferred :
specific comment on a pending sale, except to confirm he is
looking at "several possibilities."
"I can't say anything for sure now, but as the price of run-
ning a golf course goes up it's not as viable as it once was. You
can't raise the prices enough to make it worthwhile; people
will go somewhere else," he said. He confirmed that several
parties have been interested in Pineview for residential devel-
opment.
If it sells, Baker County will be without a golf course,
though a Miami-based group said recently its long range plans
for a large tract off CR 125 near Ode Yarbrough Road include de
multiple courses. R
Mr. Combs likewise was hesitant to discuss the other party
in a Broken Oak contract until a deal is finalized. It consists of 18
32.5 acres and the group is still in the infrastructure stage of gl


Developers will be invited to a
workshop later this month to dis-
cuss a proposed county ordinance
requiring roads to be paved in all
new subdivisions.
Pending adoption of the ordi-
nance, the Baker County Commis-
sion in December imposed a mora-
torium on approving new subdivi-
sion plats. The temporary ban came
as the commission acknowledged
homeowner associations do not ade-
quately handle long range mainte-
nance of roads, ditches, retention
ponds and other amenities. ,
Ironically, in a two-hour work-
shop prior to the February 1 meet-
ing, the commission learned of.a
similar arrangement that may be-
come part of the county's first de-
velopment of regional impact.


The county's only golf course may be sold off for residential development.
development. Other principles are Tommy Rhoden, Mitch Canaday and Rock
hoden.
Recently the group successfully sought re-zoning from Macclenny to allow
8 twin-unit townhouses in Broken Oak. The bulk of the tract is zoned for sin-
e-family homes on small lots.


School architect offers analysis to county


The Baker County school dis-
trict's architect has offered a no-
cost analysis of problems remain-
ing from construction of the court-
house addition.
Bill Bishop of Jacksonville firm


Akel, Logan and Shafer was re-
cruited b' newly hired county zon-
ing code inspector Bobby Hancock,
who was the school district director
of plant services until his retire-
ment in 2000.


At the courthouse, Mr. Bishop
will check three problems remain-
ing from the 1999-2000 project that
doubled the size of the courthouse:
the air conditioner system, base-
ment flooding, cracks and under-


NAS Jax pilots land at Baker Head Start last week
Navy Lt. Jerick Black reads to students at Baker Head Start as part of the annual Reading is Fundamental program January 28. Lt. Com-
mander Scott Hendricks read to children In another classroom. In all, about 25 young students ages 3-5 participated in the two-day event.
Head Start sponsors the reading event each year, and later this month invited adults from the Baker County community to visit classrooms
and read from children's books.


ground water seepage in the park-
ing lot.
Mr. Bishop's offer of free evalu-
ation also extends to the leaking
roof at the county annex on North
Fifth Street. However, a fee will
apply if Mr. Bishop is asked to
draw up corrective plans for any of
the problems.
Meanwhile, the Baker County
Commission and Clerk of Courts
Al Fraser hope the contractor who
won a February 1 bid award will be
able to cure chronic leaks in the flat
roofs at the east and west ends of
the original half of the courthouse.
The segments have undergone
Numerous unsuccessful repairs, but
the specifications this time call for
adding a slope to direct rainwater
away from the building.
The sole $23,860 bid came from
Prestige Construction Systems Inc.
of Jacksonville.
The Fifth Street annex has had
roof leaks on the west wing occu-
pied by the elections supervisor
and north side atop the tax collec-
tor's space. The south side used by
the property appraiser has so far es-
caped leaks, but that may be be-
cause an adjoining building acts as
a wind break.
Several patch jobs have been
done on the annex, but they did not
hold up'during last fall's hurri-
canes.


Adar Developers LLP of Miami
has proposed a Community Devel-
opment District label for a 5845
acre mix of residential, commercial
and recreation project west of Ode
Yarbrough Road.
The CDD would allow Adar to
float a bond issue to pave the roads
and perhaps to pay for a number of
other promised improvements-like
- two golf courses, three schools, sub-
stations for fire, rescue and sher-
iff's departments.
The bond issue would give Adar
the money for the extras while still
being able to sell its proposed
15,000 home lots at a price compe-
titive with nearby properties.
Brian Teeple and Ed Lehman of
the Northeast Florida Regional
Planning Council indicated the as-
sessment process would be set up
by the developer, not .collected as
part of property taxes.
Adar is already facing a lengthy
Development of Regional Impact
process that will take a year or long-
er. A DRI is triggered at a certain de-
velopment range, which in Baker
County is 625 or more homes.
In other items February 1, the
commission agreed to proceed with
a $5 million paving loan from Mer-
cantile Bank. The board wants to
keep annual payments at about'the
same $289,000 as a current loan.
SBank president John Kennedy said
he will have figures on the interest
rate and repayment term in about
ten days. Up to half the county's
six cent local option gas tax will be
pledged toward repayment of the
loan.
In another road paving item, Jo-
seph Wells of grant coordinating
firm Jordan and Associates of Or-
ange Park said he will head a team
checking financial eligibility in
several areas the next couple of
weekends. At least 51% of homes
in a target area must be low income
to qualify for road paving paid for
by a Community Development
Block Grant.
The board approved financing
five new road graders with a
$688,148 loan at 4% interest
through Caterpillar Finance of
Nashville, Tenn. Repayment will
be at $55,063 for each of the next
five years.
The only other bid came from
Mercantile Bank at 4.1%.
In another bid award, Gary
Hodges will harvest timber from
part of the 1600 acre St. Mary's
Shoals Park near Cuyler. Mr.
Hodges bid $1350, and the sole
other bid was from Emerald Tim-
ber Co. Inc. at $1000.
An agreement was signed with
the Florida Department of Trans-
portation to repair the Greens'
Creek Bridge on CR 125 South.
FDOT will be responsible for de-
sign, federal approval and con-
struction of the bridge.
The pact does not stipulate a
start or completion date.
In a final item, the board ap-
proved advertising for three vacant
road department positions.

teresting job or vantage point

Small county funds

for roads re-instated


Two road improvement funds
which Baker County used in the
past have been reinstated by state,
officials.
The Small County Road Assis-
tance Program (SCRAP) has re-
ceived $25 million, and $5.3 mil-
lion has been allocated for the
Small County Outreach Program
(SCOP) in Governor Jeb Bush's
enhancement of funding for Flori-
da's economically distressed rural
counties and communities.
Altogether, the enhancements
total $301 million statewide, and
are based on the understanding
that smaller counties often do not
have the fiscal resources to meet
basic needs like road improve-
ments and new schools.
The amount Baker County gets
will depend on special applications
in a competitive process. In other
parts of Gov. Bush's proposal that
may impact Baker County:
$15 million in new recurring
funds distributed to fiscally con-
strained counties on a formula ba-
sis.
$9 million in additional funds
in recognition of the relatively
higher operating cost of smaller
school districts due to sparse stu-
dent population. This brings total
funding for education sparsity to
$40 million, a 29% increase over
the current year. Rural counties
can use this funding for any educa-
tion operating need.
$55 million for construction of
schools.
$46 million in grants to rural
counties and small communities for
infrastructure needs such as trans-
portation and wastewater treatment.

$1 million for a new rural

ally qualified rural health centers,
and other safety net providers.
$5 million to defer juvenile
detention cost shift impacts in fis-
cally constrained counties.
$19.3 million for rural com-
munity development, library, recy-
cling, and environmental grants.
$6.5 million to continue Fiscal
Year 2004-05 funding of recycling
grants.
$1.3 million to continue Fiscal
Year 2004-05 funding of the Rural

Program.

vices.


No license,

1she tells officer
A woman who advised a deputy
sheriff at the scene of an accident
the afternoon of January 26 that
she was driving on a suspended li-
cense was arrested for that and
careless driving.
Sgt. Michael Crews also learn-
ed that Traci D. Hamer, 48, of
Live Oak; was wanted on a Colum-
bia County arrest warrant: The po-
lice report did not note the charge.
Ms. Hamer was involved in an
accident at SR 121 and Woodlawn
Road, and the officer said she ap-
proached him with the admission
on the suspended license when he
arrived at the scene. He confirmed
it with a check of computer re-
cords.
In another arrest later that eve-
ning, Kathleen L. Kallunki, 39, of
Key West was charged with disor-
derly intoxication at the west-
bound Interstate 10 rest area west
of Sanderson.
An FHP trooper on security de-
tail at the rest area advised the
sheriff's department Ms. Kallunki
appeared drunk and apparently
had solicited sex acts from at least
two truck drivers.
She also wandered into a near-
by on-ramp back to the interstate.


A county deputy arrested Wil-
liam R. Gainey, 33 of Macclenny
the. morning of January 29 for
twice breaking down doors at a
home occupied by an ex-wife in
the northwest city.
Tonya Stokes, 34, who has a
Middleburg address but was stay-
ing at a residence off Long Dr., told
police Mr. Gainey broke through a
rear door about 4:30 am but did not
come inside.
He returned just before 8:00 am
and forced his way inside through
another door, yelling at Ms. Stokes
"in a rage." She called police, and
Deputy Erik Deloach said he saw
the ex-husband in a neighbor's
yard while he was interviewing the
complainant.
He searched the immediate
area, and arrested.Mr. Gainey bas-
ed on a tip from a neighbor. He is
charged with assault.
In other cases, the victim who
filed a criminal complaint for bat-
tery against another man following
a fight the evening of January 24
is himself named in a complaint by
an ex-girlfriend alleging threats

Keith R. Barber, 18, filed the
first complaint against Gregory
Andrews, 22, also of Macclenny,
alleging he was beaten outside his
residence off Miltondale Road.
Several witnesses backed up his
version, but the accused told po-
lice Mr. Barber attacked him with
a pole.
The next day the 17-year-old


girlfriend, who apparently was at
the scene of the fight, filed the
complaint against Mr. Barber.
Based partially on the urging of
the father of a 16-year-old female
student, a criminal complaint was
filed January 25 alleging she was
attacked by a 15-year-old female
on the Baker High campus.
The older girl was treated for
head abrasions at Fraser Hospital.

MY SIDE OF
L '..- .., P


Some people a bit touchy


IMPRESSIONS


Here's something to think about
during Super Bowl week when the
world's attention (not that part of
the world where people don't
know where their next meal is
coming from) turns to northeast
Florida.
Insecure people often take
excessive offense at slights from
others.
Makes no difference if the
slights are serious or in fun, to the
overly-sensitive they are intolera-
ble. It can make everyday living a
lot more difficult.
Consider the barbs delivered by
sports writers so far about the
Jacksonville area before most of
them even arrived here to cover
the garte.
It's a Waffle House mecca; it
still should be called Cowford; a
super-sized Big Mac is the best
thing on the menu of the best
restaurant in town. Bla, bla bla.
Florida Times-Union columnist
Mark Woods on Monday took a
jab at Baker County, suggesting
tongue-in-cheek that visitors might
want to drive oit here to the scene
of last year's infamous Operation
Blackberry mass arrest by state
game officers of poachers and
moonshiners.
The suggestion, of course, was
meant to demonstrate that there
are negative things to look for if
you want to. Mr. Woods also
included a shopping list of things
he likes about northeast Florida,
and suggested visiting sports writ-
ers avoid them lest they become
enamored with the area like he is.
Baker County residents who
work in Jacksonville, go to school
or church there and otherwise have
friends and relatives there are used
to barbs like this. So maybe we
have thicker skin than Jacksonville
people do when others from the -
northeast take shots at "redneck"
north Florida.
Things are seldom as others
portray them. It takes about half
the normal adult lifetime to come
to that realization, and if one is
confident of one's reasons for
doing something like choosing a
place to live instead of simply
being born there one doesn't pay

much mind to what others say.
So, if a sports writer from
Washington, D.C. or Philadelphia
wants to get things stirred up by
flinging barbs at Jacksonville and
musing as to why the NFL would
ever choose such a place for its
Big Dance, who does that harm?
I love the D.C. area and haven't
spent much time in Philly except
occasionally at the airport. I don't
,think I'd like to live in either place
-for a number of reasons, but they
aren't things that prevent me from
seeing why other, perfectly sane,
people might want to live there.
I don't know many people
being kept in Baker County or
northeast Florida against their will.
Most of us are here because we
want to be here, and the negatives
one amasses about any location
obviously are outweighed by the
pluses. That's the way life works,
except for the unfortunate few
among us who find themselves in


intolerable situations through no
fault of their own.,
Things like war, tsunamis, large
scale starvation and deprivation
from any number of causes now
those are things to be concerned
about; reasons why someone
wouldn't want to live in a particu-
lar place.
What we're talking about here
is the location of a Super Bowl,
perhaps the world's most brash
example of celebrating excess and
the good life not enjoyed by the
majority of people on this earth.
If we don't have the "right"
restaurants, the "right" 'night spots,
enough hotel rooms or spaces to
park private jets, I'm not sure
that's something we need to feel
inferior about.
So, lighten up. We are who we
are, and we'll still be that next
Monday when everybody else
leaves northeast Florida.
Adios.


Denied CoA board seat


Dear Editor:
Do we still have a democratic
society, or has it changed to a
bureaucratic dictatorship?
Do we still have a right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness?
We senior citizens of Baker
County want to know why we have
been denied a seat on the Council
on Aginig board of directors.
We felt a spokesman who actu-
ally knew of our wants and needs
could best speak on our behalf. We
were told this is not feasible for
two reasons:
V It would be too "confusing."
For whom, we ask? Do they think
we are too senile to know or un-
derstand what is going on?
We assure them, we are not..
Maybe the "confusion" would be
on their part. Our input would not
fit into their agenda, or their plans
for us.
The second thing we were told
was we are more than welcome to
attend Council meetings, and if a
discussion was put to the floor, we
would be able to respond.
Hurray! We have a voice. But it
isn't heard. Their actions will be
what they deem right for us. Is that
how liberty works?
Based on last week's cost-cut-
ting endeavors, the following


arrangements are being enacted:
V Privatizing home health care.
Since when can a business that is
in existence to make money give
the personal care better than some-
one who personally cares about
the needy?
We had Baker County neigh-
bors treating neighbors. The cli-
ents felt safe allowing them into
their homes. How safe will they
feel allowing strangers to help
them?
V Changing deliveries to home
bound 'clients to three hot meals
and two packaged meals a week.
Why bother with the packaged?
If a homebound client were capa-
ble of preparing his or her own
meal, they wouldn't be on the list.
What if they have no microwave
oven? What if they can't reach the
oven knob on their stove?
Most important, what if they
forget to turn an oven off, or burn
themselves? No one will be there
to help them.
Our homebound residents rely
on that hot meal and the company
of the person who delivers it. They
make quick assessments of each
client's daily needs. To abandon
them four of seven days a week is
to deny them the right to life.

Ah yes, this is the week people
in the area have either anticipated
or dreaded for five years. The Su-
per Bowl is finally here.
It will be a red letter day for
Jacksonville. Not because of the.
big game, but because it will mark
the first time more than 12 people
'have ever ridden the Skyway Ex-
press at one time. The fact that all
of them will be from out of town
doesn't really count.
Jacksonville has spent millions
of dollars preparing for this week.
Not since Sherman marched across
.Georgia on his way to the sea:have
this number of out-of-towners de-
scended. Some pundits estimate
that 200,000 folks who didn't even
know Jacksonville existed at the
start of the football season will be
rolling into town.
Only a small portion of them
will have hotel rooms. The rest in-
tend to sleep in their cars or wher-
ever they pass out. This is a major
concern to. officials in the River
City. Usually it is only the home-
less who do that. As a result, to
make room in the city's gutters for
a higher class of street people, all
the homeless have been removed.
The story is that they are being
housed in a couple of area schools'
(gee, I wonder if The Bolles School
is one of them). They haven't an-
nounced which schools. That is a
shame because I'm sure the local
PTA would love to have a bake


Hattie Edu

merits 'legend'

status already

Dear Editor:
Last Saturday I attended the
funeral service of a woman who
had over the years woven her
name so strongly into this commu-
nity that she probably qualifies as
a legend.
I refer to Hattie Lou English.
We hear so much today about
the importance of diversity, yet
I've met few people who can actu-
ally be said to have lived a life
with such a strong belief in the
goodness of all people.
My family had the good fortune
to have Hattie Lou come into our
lives about 30 years ago, helping
to raise our children and run our
household.
She taught us about being re-
sourceful and appreciating what
one has and how to enjoy a quick-
"ly prepared meal df eggs, rice and
meat (fondly known to her as "Do-
lolly). She taught the wonders of
music and singing out loud for the
pure enjoyment of it.
Hattie Lou attended church
with our family over the Christmas
season, and after the formal
lessons were over, she sat up at the
piano and gave lessons of her own.
A person who had recently moved
here, after watching her play and
sing, could only ask fondly, "Who
was that?"
Like the Pied Piper'that she
was, Hattie Lou had, brought
another into her parade of life.
If your name is Griffis, Bennett,
Lyons, Johns, Taylor, Kirkland,
Whitney, Knabb or Davis, you'
probably understand fully what
this lady was about. There are also
numerous grandchildren and
neighbor children she influenced
as well.
If you weren't fortunate enough
to have kpown her during her
nearly 90 years on this Earth, you
surely missed a most wonderful
lady who was an example of pure
goodness and one who always
found the upside of anything.
We're sure the better for having
Hattie Lou in our lives and family.

sale.
Jacksonville officials are a little
ticked off because newspaper col-
umnists in Philadelphia and Bos-
ton have hinted that Jacksonville
isn't sophisticated enough for the
high class clientele who will be at-
tending the game.
Ya think?.
That may be so, but last time I
checked there was three feet of
snow in Boston and Philadelphia.
At least here you don't have to wait
until the icebreakers clear the river
to sail your boat up to the Jackson-
ville Landing.
One rapper cancelled his perfor-
mance because he couldn't get 15
five-star hotel rooms for his en-
tourage. Of course, three years ago
he was living out of a cardboard
box in Philadelphia, but it was a
sophisticated cardboard box.
In theory, the game itself will
kick off sometime in the near fu-
ture-I'm not really sure when, how-
ever. I think the NFL plans to wait
until every celebrity ever featured
on VHl's Fabulous Life Of.. has
arrived.
That could be awhile. It's hard
to find that many private planes
willing to land at JIA. But at some
unspecified point, a game is sup-
Sposed to break out between the New
England Patriots and the Philadel-
phia Eagles.
If you plan to attend any of the
hundreds of Super Bowl related
activities, get a jump on the com-
petition-go now and have your
head examined. Over 200,000 peo-
ple will bQ arriving in the next few
days. All of them will expect to
find a parking place downtown.
None of them have tickets to the
big game. In fact, no one who isn't
< a rapper, a member of a Fortune '
500 company or have been fea-
tured on VH1's Fabulous Life Of...
can afford tickets to the Super
Bowl. The rest of these people are
here to tie up traffic, get drunk and
throw up on each other's shoes, or
to see Paris Hilton. They don't
care which.
If you like to gawk at celebrities,
you have hit pay dirt. They will all
be here. I'm not talking about real
celebrities like Tom Hanks or Ni-
cole Kidman. They have better
things to do, like make Oscar nom-
inated movies.
I'm talking about celebrities
like Hilton, whose only claim to
fame is being the daughter of hotel
magnate Conrad Hilton and hav-
ing so much money she doesn't
need a real job and can spend her
time making illicit sex tapes for
sale on the Internet. Hilton tried to
reserve the top floor of her daddy's
Hilton Hotel for the week, but was
told it was being reserved for real
celebrities.
We'll probably see celebs like
Amber Frey or Brigitte Nielson.
Both are minor celebs. Frey isn't
an entertainer, she just dated mur-
derer Scott Peterson and wrote a
book about it. Nielson is featured
on the reality show Surreal Life in
,which she just-I don't know, lives
her surreal life. It used to be that
people who lived surreal lives ei-
ther painted pictures and cut off an
ear or were on heavy medication.
Now they are on reality television
shows and go to the Super Bowl.
Former NFL stars will be on
hand at parties and maybe even the
game if they know a rapper or a
minor celebrity. If you're a former
NFL player and aren't a commen-
tator on ESPN, there's really not a
lot for you to do accept play in ce-
lebrity golf tournaments and come
to the Super Bowl. Maybe if you
look hard enough, you'll even see
OJ Simpson in Jacksonville hunt-
ing for the real killer of his wife
Nichole. He's looked unsuccess-
frilly on just about every golf course
in the continental United States.
I'm probably just going to stay
home, eat some unsophisticated
barbecue, and watch the game on
television. If I get really ambitious,
I might hang out in the parking lot
at the Wal-Mart Superstore on the
Westside in hopes of catching a
glimpse of a former American Idol
contestant or somebody voted off
Survivor Island in week two.

BY MICHAEL RINKER
Press Commentary
If you haven't had the pleasure
of reading this year's "Buyer's
Guide" from the Baker County
Chamber of Commerce, grab a
cappuccino, settle down in your
Favorite recliner and let me take
you on a wondrous ride.
Our. first stop is Woodland
Road.
Never heard of it?
It's often referred to as "Snake
Road," and is located slightly south
of the interstate between State Road
121 and County Road 125.
Some old-timers might remem-
ber when it was called "Woodlawn
Road."
Well, that was before the map
makers from River Graphics set
the record straight.
During a cursory look at the
map, which can be found on page
2 of the guide, I noticed a couple
other mistakes. But rather than
point them out, I suggest that Bak-
er Countians hold "Where's
Woodlawn?" parties where teams
of partygoers compete to see who
can find the most errors.
At least, that way the guide can
serve some real purpose.
Twenty-eight of the guide's 32
pages are listings alphabetically
by category (funeral homes, gro-
cery stores, etc.) and in another
section apparently by membership
in the chamber of commerce.
It's nothing more than a lame
imitation of the Yellow Pages, but
without the distraction of all that ...
yellow.
Kidding aside, mistakes hap-
pen, but it appears as though the
map was drawn up in 2003. Why
not fix it before putting it in the
2005 guide?
The first words on the first page
say, "Welcome to Baker Coun-
ty... -. .." ....
Are you telling me this is the.-,
kind of.first impression we want to-
make? Our county is great, it's just
the maps that are stupid.
It's hard enough to overcome
the negative images associated
with a rural area without the most
visible business organization feed-
ing the stereotype.
Which brings us to the real
problem.
On the "Welcome to Baker
County...." page, the guide lists four
categories that purport to sell the
county.
And while all are poorly written
and lack any substance, it's the
"Education" category that's truly
atrocious.
Education a high priority, Bak-
er County is proud of their school
system.
"Me Tarzan. Me say, 'Educa-
tion a high priority.'"
As for the second part of the
sentence, try either of these:
Baker County is proud of its
school system.
Or, Baker County residents are
proud of their school system.
And as a side note, when last
year's FCAT results gave "C"
grades to local schools, Superin-
tendent Paula Barton was decided-
ly not proud. "Nobody wants to be
a C school. We are not a mediocre
school district," she said.
Also under the "Education" cat-
eg6ry is this line:
Local branch of Lake City
Community College offer commu-
nity and adult education pro-
grams.
For now, let's not discuss the
pros and cons of bragging about
having a branch location of a com-
munity college.
Instead, let's ask why we
couldn't overcome that pesky sub-
ject/verb agreement challenge.
For the FCAT challenged, the
verb should be offers instead of of-
fer.
That is easily fixed, however.
Check back in a few years to
see if it is.

Teen neighbor arrested

for theft and burglary


A juvenile age neighbor was ar-
rested January 25 for burglary of a
residence off Tapley Lane in Glen
St. Mary, and theft of a PlaySta-
tion electronic game from one of
its bedrooms.
Owner Terri Meister returned
home about 2:00 that afternoon to
find a rear window on the house's
north side had been broken. A lad-
der was positioned on'the side of
the structure, and her inspection of
the interior determined the
PlayStation belonging to a son was
missing.
Ms. Meister told police the
youth had asked to borrow the unit
earlier in the week, and when in-
terviewed he initially denied in-
volvement.
Deputy .l.mmy Nickles then
asked the 14-year-old about sever-
al cuts on his hands because fresh
blood had.been found near the


window. The suspect then admit-
ted he had entered the house.
The PlayStation turned up in a
subsequent search of his nearby
home. Police also lifted several
finger prints from windows.
The boy was arrested and later
released to relatives.
In other cases, an intruder ap-
parently stayed inside Bill's Gro-
cery in Sanderson but a few short
minutes and left without taking
anything just before midnight on
January 30.
Deputy Brad Dougherty said he
was on the scene at the downtown
store in just over two minutes after
an alarm sounded at 11:19 that
night.
No one was found inside, and
police noted a broken rear window
and footprints on a nearby wall,
and on an interior floor. Several
clues were left at the scene.


Burglarized car to buy pot


The sheriff's department arrest-
ed a 15-year-old female January
26 after she admitted she burglar-
ized a vehicle parked off Ivey St.
to get money to buy marijuana.
Officers acting on a tip from
victim Genaro Harris questioned
the suspect and two witnesses,
ages 17 and 15, who confirmed the
girl said she wanted to buy drugs
after selling the CD player and
CDs she took from the 1998 Mit-
subishi.
The property valued at $820
was later recovered.
Several other vehicle-related
thefts were reported the past week,
including s 2002 Toyota pickup
taken from outside a residence off
CR 229 south of Sanderson during
the night January 30.
Owner Casey Prevatt said he

sex complaint
An assistant restaurant manager
faces multiple counts of battery fol-
lowing allegations by a juvenile age
female employee that he touched
her inappropriately and made sexu-
ally suggestive comments.
Joshua F. Parton, 24, of Lake
City initially denied the allegations
following a written complaint by
the cashier and a witness statement
by another female co-worker.
The complaint alleges Mr. Par-
ton made sexual comments the
evening of January 29, and at one
point unhooked the girl's bra from
outside her blouse. He also repeat-
edly touched her with his knee af-
ter she warned him to stay away.
Deputy Adam Faircloth said
Mr. Parton-admitted to the behav-
ior during questioning, insisting he
did not attach a suggestive conno-
tation to the actions.

noticed the vehicle was gone when
he went outside about 6:45 am.
George Griffis of Sanderson re-
ported the theft of his 2003 motor-
cycle while it was parked between
8:00-10:00 pm outside Cuz's Store
on US 90 on January 22.
Equipment and property valued
at $475 went missing from a
parked 1989 Ford pickup belong-
ing to Ronnie Miller of Macclenny
overnight on January 27.
Among the items taken from
the truck off Thomas Drive were
an air compressor, hose, radio and
bottle of whiskey.
Janet Watts of Macclenny filed
a criminal complaint the same day
against ex-boyfriend Wesley M.
Belford, 21, also of Macclenny, for
allegedly pouring sugar into the
gas tank of her 1989 Oldsmobile.
Ms. Watts told police the sus-
pect had earlier threatened to dam-
age the vehicle when she went to
his residence with a deputy sheriff
to claim it.

TOWN OF BALDWIN
FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE


The Town of Baldwin is considering applying to the Florida Department of Community Affairs
(DCA) for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to
$650,000.00. These funds must be used for one of the following purposes:


1. To benefit low and moderate-income persons; or


'2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or


3. To meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular
urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or wel-
fare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such
needs.


The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas of housing,
neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization, or economic development and include
such improvement activities as acquisition of real property, loans to private-for-profit business,
purchase of machinery and equipment, construction of infrastructure, rehabilitation of houses
and commercial buildings, and energy conservation. Additional information regarding the
range of activities that may be undertaken will be provided at the public hearing.

Bob's top video picks


$4.50 for 15 words? What a Deal!
The Baker County Press


BY BOB GERARD
Entertainment Editor
With the Super Bowl tossing
thousands of people on the roads,
it might be a good idea to stay in-
side and watch some videos. Here's
a list of some of the better videos
out there to be rented.
The Terminal, PG 13. Reviews
for this movie were mixed, but I
just loved Tom Hanks' portrayal of
a traveler from Eastern Europe
who is denied entry to the USA af-
ter his country's government is ov-
erthrown.
Hanks is forced to live in limbo
in the airport terminal in New
York for months. In the process, he
learns English and forms friend-
ships with airport workers and a
burgeoning romance with flight at-
tendant Catherine Zeta Jones.
It's a charming, funny and in-
spiring movie. Hanks, as usual, is
wonderful, as are some of the sup-
porting roles. I'm only so-so on
Zeta Jones, but I loved her in this
role.
Sky Captain and the World of
Tomorrow, PG. Once again, this is
a film that is not for everyone. It is
visually stunning and looks like a
1930s comic book come to life.
Jude Law stars as the sky captain,
a mercenary out to save the world
from mysterious giant robots. Gwy-
neth Paltrow is his plucky newspa-
per reporter girl Friday, and Ange-
lina Jolie is the eye-patched British
flyer who also loves him.
It's a silly story and 85% of the
movie is computer generated, but
it's a visual feast, especially if you
like old comic books.
KingArthur, PG 13. Expect ab-
solutely no resemblance to any
King Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table you've ever seen be-
fore. In fact, just ignore the fact
that this is Arthur and Lancelot
and Guinevere, and you'll be a lot
better off.


Clive Owen and Iaon Gruffudd
star as Arthur and Lancelot, and
the stunning Kiera Knightley is a
sword-wielding, bow-shooting
Guinevere. Definitely not a damsel
in distress. The basic story is that
the knights are all indentured ser-
vants from the Baltic who are
working for the Romans in Britain
in return for their freedom. Great
battle scenes and a pretty good
performance from Owen.
Hero, PG-13. If you like martial
arts movies, this is fabulous. In the
same style as Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon, it presents China
as a magical world where the laws
of physics don't exist and fighters
can run up trees and leap over
buildings.
The story is a little complicated.
A warrior claims to have killed
three famous assassins out to mur-
der a tyrannical king. But as the
king unravels the story, he dis-
covers that nothing is what it
seems. I.didn't really care for it a
third of the way in, but after that, I
was hooked.
Anchorman-The Legend of Ron
Burgundy, R. I make it a point to
avoid movies by Saturday Night
Live alumni, but for some reason, I
decided to watch this one.
Will Ferrell is Ron Burgundy,
the top-rated anchorman in San
Diego in the 1970s. He's a com-
plete idiot surrounded by complete
idiots in polyester suits. They are
one big happy "news team" until
Christina Applegate comes to the
station as its first woman reporter.
One by one, the news team tries
to romance her without success,
but no one can say no to Ron Bur-
gundy. There are some funny mo-
ments, mostly based on seventies
stereotypes, but for the most part, I
felt myself losing brain cells with
every passing moment, until by the
end I couldn't remember the coun-
ty seat of Baker County.

SQaeep for the Day!


Once a fair maiden was crowned beauty queen
The year was approximately nineteen thirteen
And although the years have been basically kind,
A dream still exists in the back of her mind
To once again reign with a scepter and crown
To see royal subjects kiss her ring and bow down
We cannot convince her, as hard as we've tried
That such vain ambition is nothing but pride
Besides, we say, once a queen, you always will be
Just check outyour pantyhose if it's proof you need
But nothing will do her, she won't be content
Till her dream is fulfilled and our last penny spent
A milestone birthday is the perfect occasion
To settle this matter with a re-coronation
So this Saturday, from the hours of eleven till two,
A special invitation is extended to you
To drop by the Mercantile and honor the queen
No gifts, just handwritten compliments, please
Her age is a secret that shall not be revealed
We've taken an oath and our lips are sealed
But if you really must know, and you're feeling thrifty
Sale tags will be posted with a big number fifty
We'll be serving refreshments in a royal way
So come join the fun, and make Cathy's day!
The best compliment wins a
$50,00 Gift Certificate!

Untmi theFat Ldy :


Ophellia Belford sparked a Wildcats fourth-quarter rally that nearly overcame an 18-point
deficit to Fernandina Beach.


Lady Wildcat seniors

Slay final home game,

ose to Fernandina 56-41


After falling behind Fernandi-
na Beach 20-2 in their last home
game of the season, the Lady
Wildcats basketball team hung
tough, riding a furious fourth
quarter comeback to within six
points before falling to the Pirates
56-41 January 31.
The following night, the Cats
lost at Keystone Heights 57-24,
but the game ended too late for
details to be included in this
week's paper.
The Cats remain winless on the
season with one game left, Febru-
ary 3 at Lake City.
The district tournament is
scheduled to begin February 8.
The Fernandina game was Se-
nior Night, which featured a pre-
game ceremony honoring Sabrina
Tuttle, Cara Givens, Sharhonda
Dinkins and Kylee Canaday.
Coach Franklin Griffis started
all four players, although usually
just Canaday starts.
Just a couple of minutes into
the game, however, Dinkins went
down with a knee injury and had
to be helped off the court. She
didn't make the trip to Keyslone
Height,. but her condition was not
available at press time.
The Pirates opened and closed
the first quarter with 10-0 runs
sandwiched around a single bas-
ket by the Wildcats at the 3:22
mark.
Fernandina was led by Laci
Roberts, its tall, athletic center
who scored 16 for the game.
The Caelr, however, outscored
the visitors 10-7 in the second
quarter and 14-12 in the third.
Entering the final quarter, the
Cats trailed by 13, but hit a quick
bucket, then held the Pirates
scoreless for three minutes,
Ophellia Belford came off the
bench to spark the Cats, with six
points in a minute and a half,
With about six minutes to go, she
got a steal, drove the length of the
court and hit a jumper.
After an unforced turnover by
Fernandina, Belford hit another
jumper. The Pirates missed a sub-
sequent shot, but got the offensive
rebound and scored,
Belford responded with a
jumper to pull the Cats to within
41-34 with four and a half min-
utes to go. Baker rebounded the
second of two missed free throws
by Fernandina.
Deanna McKenzie in turn hit
one of two from the line to close
the gap to six points with 4:09
left.
It was the closest the Cats
would get.
Fernandina converted another
itt nllni rebound, then scored off
two consecutive steals from its
full-court press.
In less than 30 seconds, the Pi-
rates had doubled their lead.
Griffis called a time out to re-
group, but Fernandina hit a two ,
then a three sandwiched around a
Belford two. With 1:49 left, the
Pirates were up 52-37,
The teams exchanged a couple
of buckets each to put the final
scofe at 56-41.
Caaday led the team with 12
points,, while McKenzie hit 11,
Be~lford scored 8, all in the fourth
quarter.

PRESS ADVERTISING
DEADLINE 4 PM MONDAY


Earlier in the week, Baker lost
36-31 at Baldwin. Canaday was
high scorer with 10. McKenzie
had 8.
Again it was one bad quarter
that cost the Cats, as the Indians
outscored them 13-7 in the sec-
ond.


It's finally here.
For five years Jacksonville has
poured millions of dollars and
countless hours into preparing to
host the Super Bowl. Now we'll
find out whether all that hard work
has paid off.
In some respects, the game be-
tween the defending champion
New England Patriots and the
Philadelphia Eagles is just a side-
light, three hours that top off a
week-long party.
Most of the people who come
here to celebrate the NFL's cham-
pionship game won't even make it
into Alltel Stadium. They are here
just for the party.
Like the rest of us, they don't
have tickets, which is a far differ-
ent scenario than back in 1967
when the AFL-NFL championship
game (it wasn't even called the
Super Bowl then) between Green
Bay and Kansas City wasn't a sell-
out, even with tickets starting at $6
and reserved seats for $10. Those
prices were considered steep and
over a third of the 94,000 seats at
the Los Angeles Coliseum were
unsold. Green Bay won 35-10.
Now, however, it's the Great
American Party.
Everybody who's anybody in-
the sports world will be there. The
NFL trots out its all-time greats
like Tony Dorsett and Eric Dicker-
son. The owners, coaches and top
players fly in on private jets and
are wined and dined.
Then there are celebrities and


Wildcats girls basketball coach Franklin Griffis passes the ball to Sabrina Tuttle on Senior
Ni/htl at the Baker High gym. Als Turtle, escorted by principal David Crawford, was one of
li,'i seniors players honored before the game against Fernandina Beach on January 31,

try greats Willie Nelson, Dwight

It's a big deal and everyone on
the A List wants a part of it. Adam
Sandler is hosting a party with
Playboy playmates. Party girl
Paris Hilton tried to secure the top
floor of her daddy's Hilton Hotel
only to be told the NFL elite al-

If you want to gawk at celebs
and sports stars, hang out in the
lobby of the Ritz Carlton, Adams
Mark, Hilton, Omni or the hotels
out at Sawgrass. If you don't get
thrown out for loitering, you'll see
some big names.
-Historically, however, the game
didn't muster luster until its third
year.
The Packers won the first two
games easily. The third game,
however, featured a brash quarter-
back named Joe Namath who
guaranteed that his New York Jets
would vanquish the mighty Balti-
more Colts. Most pundits scoffed,
but the fans who forked out a hefty
$12 per ticket saw Broadway Joe
make good.
The following year the leagues
merged and the Super Bowl be-
came the NFL championship.
Ticket prices rose to an incredible
$15.
Fast forward a few years. The
Super Bowl, which hadn't always
been so super, hosts some great
teams, players and stories as the
game struggles to avoid being
overshadowed by the growing
hype surrounding it:
The 49ers also win four under
Joe Montana, who engineers a
memorable comeback win against
Cincinnati in what many consider
the best Super Bowl. Steve Young
later wins San Francisco's fifth ti-
tle.
Jim Kelly and Buffalo lose
four straight.
John Elway loses three ties
but wins in each of his final two
seasons, cementing his place in
NFL history.
In recent years, the games have
alternated between being competi-

game over

Wildcats
The Baker High boys basket-
ball team lost.48-44 to Clay Tues-
day night in a game that was key
to the Wildcats' post-season
hopes.
Earlier in the day, Coach
Charles Ruise talked about win- .
ning the final three district games
in order to gain a third seed in the
tournament.
The advantage would be to
avoid playing powerhouse Ribault
until the final. The top two teams
in a district advance to regionals.
Unfortunately, the Blue Devils
Wrecked the plan.
The Wilcactst record is now 5-
14 and the game ended too late to
include details in this week's pa-
per.
Commenting in the wake of a
January 27 loss to Columbia.
County High School, coach Ruise
insisted his team is better than its
record.
"We are a good team, good
enough to get it done," he said.
"We'll just keep chipping at the
old block."
He said the key is to "keep the
kids together."
At Lake City, the Wildcats fell
to the Tigers 70-55, faltering only
in the second quarter when they
were outscored 26-9.
Bo Clayton led Baker High
with 14 points, while Justen
Gaskins scored 8 and Carlos
Holton 7.
The Wildcats' next two games
are February 4 and 5 at home
against West Nassau and Episco-
pal. The district tournament starts
February 15.

Two Wildcat wrestlers finished
undefeated in a six-team dual meet
tournament held January 28 at
Baker County High School.
Blake Yarbrough and Brandon
Lucas also did well in a ten-team
tournament the following day in
Gainesville, placing third and
fourth respectively, said coach Joe
VanVactor.
Crestview won the team cham-
pionship 43-42 over Bradford
County on the last wrestler in the
last match.
Ocala Forest finished third, fol-
lowed by Marianna, Baker County
and Paxon.
The Wildcats finished 1-4, the
same record as Marianna, but were
placed fifth because of a tie-break-
er. In Gainesville, they finished
eighth.
The Wildcats next wrestle Feb-
ruary 8 at Fernandina Beach. Dis-
tricts are scheduled for February
11 at Forrest High School in Jack-
sonville
The top four finishers in each
weight class move on to regionals
in Panama Beach.
Coach VanVactor said he ex-
pects at least five or six of his
wrestlers to qualify.


FWC meeting
A statewide deer dog registra-
tion program and possible increas-
ed penalties for repeated dog-hunt-
ing violations will be on the agen-
da when the Florida Fish and Wild-
life Conservation Commission
meets at the Edgewater Beach Re-
sort in Panama City Beach Febru-
ary 2-4.
The issues drew more than 700
people from Baker County and sev-
eral area counties to a May 26 fo-
rum in Lake City. In a compro-
mise, the commission agreed to a
trial rule in the Northwest Region
of counties from Jefferson west to
Escambia.
Now the commission will con-
sider making the rule effective
throughout the state. It would re-
quire landowners or individuals to
register lands where deer hunting
with dogs is allowed.
