THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS 13840 YONGE LIBRARY FLA. HISTORY PO BOX 117007 UNIV. FLA. GAINESVILLE, FL 32611 Thursday June 23, 2005 Macclenny, Florida 500 Caught on camera at hunt camp- buck naked Early last Thursday evening, Deputy Sheriff James Parham III trudged a mile and a half along a dirt entrance road to an exclusive hunting lodge off Herod Dopson Road in a remote area north of San- derson. He was responding to a remote signal from a burglary alarm in the lodge's main building. The owner, a Jacksonville law- yer, advised there were guns in the lodge, so the of- ficer approach- ed cautiously and stopped where he could ,keep an eye on Sm the building un- til backup help Sarrnived. He detected movement in- n side the lodge, and had to blink more than once Danny Taylor in 2001 more than once when he real- ized what he was looking at. The man inside moving from room to room was naked. Sure enough, after a few minutes the man comeswalking out of the front door, eyes the deputy and yells, "Come on in!" Deputy Parham wasn't about to do that. "We knew there were guns in there and I-see this guy without a stitch on. I stayed put; there's some things we're just not going to do for the public." Between the time he first spotted Danny Timothy Taylor, 23, in the lodge and his appearance on the front porch, the officer radioed his situation to central dispatch and it went something like this: Deputy Parham: He's coming out on the porch, his hands are up and he's naked. Sheriff Joey Dobson (monitor- ing from afar): What did he say? Chief Deputy Gerald Gonzalez (also monitoring): Sheriff, he said he's naked. Sheriff Dobson: What's this world coming to? Shortly after Sgt. Thomas Dyal and Cpl. James Marker arrived to assist, suspect Taylor surrendered without incident. And they had to handcuff him naked. His clothing was lying in a ditch some distance from the hunting lodge, and apparently Mr. Taylor had managed to climb naked - through a rear glass door he had broken by tossing a propane gas tank through it. He didn't appear to have a scratch. The suspect did appear disori- ented, possibly high on.drugs, and told Deputy Marker he didn't know where his clothes were. When questioned about the ex- tensive vandalism inside the lodge, the suspect replied, "My brother told me to do it, and I trust his in- stincts." He also said he had been living in the woods 4-5 days, and deputies soon learned Mr. Taylor is wanted in Charlton County, Ga. on a war- rant for failure to appear in court on a drug-related charge. He has a mi- nor police record, here. Jacksonville lawyer William Brant, listed as an owner of the hunt lodge, did not return a tele- phone inquiry seeking information on the sizeable tract or damage done by the intruder. He told Deputy Parham he ob- tained a closed circuit surveillance video of the suspect inside the lodge, and the sheriff's department wants to get a copy. The report noted extensive inte- rior vandalism during the relatively brief time Mr. Taylor was inside, including damaged furniture and a toppled washer and dryer. He was charged with burglary, criminal mischief and trespass. Trio nabbed following chase on Tuesday... A stolen Chevrolet Tracker lies in a ditch where it ran off the road with several county deputies in pursuit Tuesday evening near CR 139B and Claude Harvey Road west of Glen St. Mary. At left, rescue chief Carolyn Hodges treats driver Eugene Fin- ley for minor facial cuts before he was taken to jail on multiple felony charges. Finley and passengers Russell Finley and Tray- is Hlammonds fled from imniest'igators Gerald Rhoden andDa-,. vid Bryant near a south Sanderson residence just after 6:00. The investigators and several deputies had been waiting for the trio to show up at the residence after they slipped out of a west Jacksonville trailer park earlier in the evening. They were wanted for questioning in a number of area burglaries. It turns out.the three already had gone to the residence of Eugene Fin- ley's mother and attempted to once again get away. Deputy Sgt. Mike Crews deployed "stop sticks" on CR 229 to flatten two of the Tracker's four tires, but Mr. Finley managed to keep the small SUV on the road until Glen St. Mary. He is charged with stealing the vehicle in Tennessee, and Mr. Hammonds is wanted there for aggravated assault. The driver is also wanted in Columbia County for burglary. Pineview Golf Course... Valuable historic site or ripe for developers? BY MICHAEL RINKER Press Staff , The state of Florida refers to it as "BA 302." According to the state's Master Site Files, BA:302 is "an important component asso- ciated with the Battle of Olus- tee," and has evidence of hu- man remains there. In the Civil War era, it was known as "Barber Plantation," where the late historian Gene Barber said his great, great- grandmother was buried. The New York Times and Harper's Weekly each publish- ed stories in March 1864 about a skirmish that took place there between Union. and Confeder- ate forces. The Union forces reportedly used the Barber house as a hos- pital. Local history buff Dickie Ferry says soldiers from both sides are buried there, as are slaves. "Barber Cemetery is out there, but there is some ques- tion about its exact location," he said, adding that his best guess is it's in the nearby neigh- borhood of the Whispering Pines subdivision. To most people in Baker County, however, BA 302 is known as the Pineview Country Club. At least for now. If everything goes as plan- ned, Dr. Gary Dopson will sell the course June 24 to a local group of real estate in- vestors said to be Wayne Combs and Tommy Rhoden. Word is it will then be sold to a developer in Jacksonville, although that can't be confirmed. Several years ago, the course was zoned residen- tial. The combination of losing the county's only golf course, the' possible desecration of an historic site and the specter of another development on belea- guered county road 23A has triggered a petition drive to preserve BA 302. Mr. Dopson, a local doctor and Macclenny may- or, says he wanted to keep Pineview in business, and feels guilty about shutting it down, but the fi- nancial drain was too much to handle. "After my bypass surgery, I realized I had to start thinking of my family, our future," he said Tpesday. "Over the past year and a half, I've had to put too much money into it." He said revenue took a hit when Pineview lost players to Jacksonville's golf course glut. Mean- while, he was at the mercy of rising costs for health insurance, and workers comp coverage, along with (Page two please) Kevin and Diana Shell say they have 2400 names on the petition seeking to preserve Pineview. They pose in the backyard of their Copper Creek residence with a commanding view of several fairways. Census in Glen could double 232 home project near high school Glen St. Mary officials on Tues- day took the first step in a process that could result in the town's pop- ulation more than doubling. Town council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would annex about 148 acres between Baker County High School and the Little St. Marys River. A Brevard County developer re- quested the annexation in order to build a subdivision of 232 single- family homes. An estimated 593 people would live in the subdivision, according to Mayor Juanice Padgett. She said the current population of Glen St. Mary is 493. It would.also increase the town's area from 216 acres to approxi- mately 360. P. Michael Evans, a vice presi- dent for Forte Macaulay Develop- ment in Melbourne, said plans for the subdivision, called Greystone, are not in final form. The comp plan and traffic study have yet to be completed. However, he said the company will likely set aside about 20 acres for paths and park ateags near the river, which runs parallel to the de- velopment. The 232 homes will be built on the remaining 128 or so acres. The land is owned by J. Ray and Gerra Lee Gatlin of Macclenny. Greystone would be located east of Madison Street as it swings around the east side of the high school. It would proceed north along the Westside Loop, off Madi- son. To the south, it would extend from the sharp curve around the school to U.S. 90. Mr. Evans said the developer would pave Westside Loop, which is currently a dirt road. He also said a fence will be built along Madison Street. Plans call for a clubhouse, pool and recreation area near the en- trance off the highway. Greystone would be a deed-re- stricted subdivision. Mr. Evans estimated the homes would range from approximately 1700 square feet to perhaps 2000 square feet. The development would hook up to Macclenny water and sewer lines, which were put in place when the high school was built. The council opted not to vote on approval of a development agree- ment with Greystone Investment Group until the pact can be review- ed by an attorney with experience in the field. That vote could take place at next month's meeting. Also at Tuesday's meeting, CPAs Lyons and Lyons of Mac- clenny presented the council with its auditor's report on the town's fi- nancials. It covered the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004. Among the highlights were a $345,761 increase in the town's net assets, which the report noted was a "useful indicator of a govern- ment's financial position." The town's assets exceeded lia- bilities by nearly $1.2 million. The prior year figure was $846,947. The general fund increased near- ly seven percent to $589,646. Although revenue was lower than expected, spending also came in under projections.

He was banking on the county's growth to bringing enough golfers to allow the club to at least break even, but to no avail. Lynn Lewis, who will lose her job as pro shop manager when the course closes, said she is aggravat- ed by. people badmouthing her boss. "Dr. Dopson has been financing it out of his wallet. We haven't raised rates in seven years." She said that groups such as the the sheriff's office, the Rotary Club and Council on Aging can- celed golf tournaments there be- cause they were angry at Mr. Dop- son for selling the course. "If they wanted to support the course, don't sign a petition, get out and play. Don't say, 'We'll show them, we'll go to Jackson- ville to spend our money.'" Kevin and Diana Shell, who live in the Copper Creek subdivi- sion next to Pineview, started the petition drive to "just let people know what was happening." They say they've collected about 2400 signatures in the past couple of months. "This is a very, very important issue," Ms. Shell said, referring to the historical implications. Her husband added, "You can't continue to add homes to 23A without widening or improving the road." In addition to the historical and growth issues, however, the Shells, who've been Pineview Country Club members for several years, have a personal interest in its sale and likely development. -'New to Baker County...

In fact; Dirina' sa~id dirt was added to their lot to raise it up for a better view of the course. Ms. Lewis sees a conflict. "I understand supporting a cause, but be true to the cause. She just wants a fairway view. She doesn't care about the history of -Baker County." Mr. Dopson said: "I'm-not sure what Kevin's saying; I know he likes the golf course view." Ms. Shell admitted she paid lit- tle heed to historical matters until now, but her husband "has always been interested in history." Either way, the boxes of histori- cal documents, newspaper articles and correspondence filling a cor- ner of their dining room are a tes- tament 'to how deeply involved they are now. They've used their newly found expertise to prod politicians U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, State Senator Nancy Argenziano and State Rep- resentative Aaron Bean to look into the historical implications of the sale. , In addition, they've been work- ing the state agencies overseeing historical, archeological and cul- tural preservation. "We've had inquiries about the Barber Plantation, but nothing has happened to get us involved," said Barbara Mattick, chief of the Bu- reau of Historic Preservation, which is in the Florida Department of State. She said her agency's responsi- bility is triggered when a develop- er tries to pull a state permit. But even then, it can only offer com- ments or recommendations. The Florida Master Site File is. federally mandated to collect in- formation on cultural br archaeo- logical sites, cemeteries, bridges, etc. for the purposed of dealing with development, according to Dawn Creamer.. The Barber Plantation is file BA 302 in the master site file, meaning there were 301 other Baker County sites registered be- fore it. BA 302 was'placed in the file in 1991 by the Florida Museum of Natural History. It was updated three years later by a "cultural re- source" firm in Tallahassee. Once a developer pulls a state permit, the site file is pulled. If.it is found to have historical significance, the state can require the developer to pay for an archae- ological survey to determine the extent of the site. If human remains are found, the law requires the development to stop and offers a procedure for moving them. The Shells saidthey realize that historical significance or full peti- tions notwithstanding, the sale is more than likely to take place. They're looking down the road, however, aiming to "use legal channels to slow things down." Some developers may lose in- terest in a property if faced with the state's red tape. Ms. Shell also said that three seats on the city commission are up for election. Mayor Dopson, also looking .down the road, said: "If and when it comes before the city, we'll try as hard as we can to make it compatible with the area. In fact, because of its loca- tion, I'd say it would have to be above the standard." In the meantime, he doesn't know how long BA 302 will re- main a golf course, allowing as how it could be a few more months, but adding that it would be up to the new owners., Alo' I lL I -' -.- aYr woOinS ?or^7.Q J -' 'f^K'i Sf F'.NR 'ALLOCCASSIONS (all 259-5800 Bf"^ "t^b > r- i*^Sftini^ a Acting on a warrant signed in Baker County late Tuesday, au- thori'ies i IS'emi'ii:6le C( u n , Florida arrested 27-year-old Ra- sheed (Ricco) F. Silvera and charg- ed him with being one of two masked suspects who robbed the Glen St. Mary branch of Country Federal Credit Union on April 12. Mr. Silvera, who lives in west Jacksonville but has multiple ties to the Orlando area, is the erst- while boyfriend of another suspect" who police believe knows some- thing about the armed robbery that morning. Shortly after the credit union was robbed just before 11:00, the two gunmen and likely a third sus- pect fled in a Chevrolet Tahoe from near the scene after switch- ing vehicles. The Tahoe, police say, belongs to Mr. Silvera, and the 1995 Hon- da Accord found abandoned off Sherman Ave. in Glen belongs to the mother of Dejaune Anderson, 19, ofJadcksonville.;-i .I.. I' , Ms. Anderson 'has been in county jail since late April, charg- ed as an accessory. Since her con- finement, she also faces an aggra- .vated battery count following an attack on another female inmate. Specifically, Ms. Anderson is accused of arranging to have a du- plicate ignition key made for Mr. Silvera so the Honda could be used that day under the auspices that it was stolen. Investigator Chuck Brannan, who was checking out the aban- doned vehicle the day of the rob- bery accompanied by the owner of the property on which it had been parked, found a newly minted key on the ground near where the Tahoe allegedly had been parked. The key was traced back to Ms. Anderson, who initially pointed the finger at another acquaintance. She allegedly urged him to lie to authorities and say he found the key in the front yard of Ms. An- derson's mother's house in River- side. Mr. Silvera was aware 'police wanted to talk with him, and sev- eral times was a no-show after promising an interview. He also acted suspiciously by jumping out of a moving car on Lane Ave. near his residence while being followed by police in late April. For a time, authorities lost con- tact with the suspect, then he re- emerged in the Orlando area. He apparently quit a job at the Winn- Dixie warehouse east of Baldwin. Mr. Silvera will probably be transferred to Duval County where he is wanted for failing to appear in court on a felony fleeing police charge.

If the name is famil- iar, but you don't know from where, Fogarty was the lead singer of Creeden6e Clearwater Revival and penned most of their great songs like Bad Moon Rising and Proud Mary. The place was packed and Fo- garty was rocking out. He was jumping and dancing and hadn't lost a step vocally. This is really something of a surprise in that Fo- garty is 6.0 years old. I've noticed lately that some of the biggest concerts of the year are by rockers who are using their AARP cards when they check in at the hotel. The Rolling Stones, the Moody Blues, Tom Petty, the Ea- gles are all touring to sell-out crowds. I don't suppose that's unusual since people my age want to see bands we're familiar with rather than My Chemical Romance and .Motion City Soundtrack. But it is kind of strange, nonetheless. Fogarty was bouncing off the walls like a 20-year-old. Contrast that to Joe Walsh of The Eagles, Walsh looks like somebody's drunken grandfather, the guy in the family nobody likes to talk about. He has long, stringy gray hair and talks with a wheeze that sounds like he has had too many unfilter- ed Camels. At the microphone, he squints into the stage lights and barely nov'e.rvWhen hedoes--lean into a guitar solo, he looks\in need of an angioplasty. He still has the licks on guitar, that's for sure, but up on stage he looks like he's pretty familiar with the early bird dinner specials at the Piccadilly Cafeteria. I hesitate to call this a backlash toward the youth movement that is so prevalent in all the entertain- ment industry. If it were a backlash, we'd be.hearing The Eagles on top 40 radio instead of Classic Rock. Think about it when's the last time an established artist had. a top 40 hit? Got me. But unlike in the sixties and seventies, there is a very profitable world outside of Top 40 music. Bands are filling arenas despite never managing to get a song on the playlists of Top 40 stations. ' That's not surprising. Think about the last time you listened to Top 40 radio. Even the moniker is deceiving. You won't hear the Top 40 songs. Over a three hour peri- od, you'll be lucky to hear a dozen different songs played over and over and over. The artists are all the same. You may get lucky and hear.a cut from a really good band like Coldplay or Keene or Switch- foot, but chances are what you'll hear is Ashley Simpson and clean- ed-up rap. But satellite radio and iPods meant's easier than ever to choose the songs you want to hear so you don't have to listen to radio. I en- vision a day in the near future when radio as we know it is passe. Tom Petty and the Heartbreak- S fPress Associ,, Award Winning Newspaper 'Ieekl Newspapet v S JAMES C.

MANAGER KarinThl CLASSIFIED ADS" Barbara Blacks ers never were consistent hitmak- ers, yet the 55-year-old Petty can still fill an arena. He hasn't had to change a lick of what he used to do in his 20's when he played the club scene in Gainesville. Other rockers have adapted what they do to appeal to a broad audi- ence. Rod Stewart has changed his style completely. The bantam roost- er of rock has donned a black tux- edo and silk scarf and become the reincarnation of Frank Sinatra. Stewart has three million selling CDs of American standards from the forties and fifties. Who'd have figured the raspy-voiced singer who' strutted around stage in Jaguar print spandex singing Do Ya Think I'm Sexy would by crooning Someone to Watch Over Me with a 30-piece orchestra backing him. Billy Joel is bald., has the hit Broadway show Movin' Out, but still commands big bucks for fill- ing arenas with adoring fans. Joe Cocker, who looked like he could barely walk when he was 25, actu- ally looks better today than he did 30 years ago. I'm interested to see how Mick Jagger and Keith Richards handle the rigors of touring. Both are in their sixties. Jagger is still the irre- pressible showman, but Richards looks a lot like that mummy re- cently unearthed in Egypt. He has done so many drugs that an MRI of the mummy and an MRI of Richards would probably look the same. In fact, stick a guitar in the mummy's hand and prop him up behind a microphone and Richards could probably stay home. The same is true in country mu- sic. Loretta Lynn has a top-selling CD and before he died, Johnny Cash was gettingairplay.. ,- I think what has happened more in the Baby Boomer era than in the past is that old rockers realize their fans are still out there and want to see them one more time..If they still have the chops and can rip off those guitar licks like Fogarty was doing at the Florida Theatre, there's no reason not to tour. Who knows, they might even discover a brand new younger audience to keep their music alive into the next dec- ade. Dear Editor; In response to your column (on state test scores) in the June 15th edition of The Baker County Press I have the following comments or observations: If we expect only a mediocre outcome, our students and teachers will cease to strive for the superior outcome. Can we place some of the blame back into the home where it should be? With the limited number of school days currently required by state statute, teachers are hard pressed to get all the items re- quired into the current curriculum. I went to school in another state. We had statewide exams in each of our major subjects at the end of each school year. Our teachers earned points toward their tenure and contract renewals based on how their students did on these statewide exams. If the math teacher had 220 stu- dents taking the math test and only a handful failed or got Ds, then his/her next contract had more money in it and they got some extras. If a majority of their stu- dents failed or got Ds, they were put on notice that they had only one, two-year contract to show improvement. They were also given access to resources to improve their teach- ing skills. These tests were in math, English, biology, chemistry, physics, civics (history); foreign languages, if taken by the student.

Repeal the Dry Sunday law. Dry Sunday does not stop. peo- ple from drinking on Sunday, nor does it prevent people from buying beer on Sunday. The only thing Dry Sunday does is send revenue to other counties that could be used here in Baker County. The impact fee amounts I have seen proposed make it apparent to me this is revenue that could be used easily by the county. Many people cannot afford an additional fee or tax. That is the beauty of this idea; it does not force anyone to pay for something'they don't want to purchase. I estimate there are 32 establish- ments that sell liquor and/or beer in the county. If each had only $100 in revenue each Sunday that they otherwise would not have generated, the county could see an additional $8372 in a single year. The potential revenue is impos- sible to guess accurately, and would likely exceed my conserva- tive estimate. It is money we need here. It is money we should not be sending to other counties, money that has been going to other coun- ties for many years. We should make it more convenient for peo- ple to spend their money here. Impact fees are apparently un- avoidable. By coming up with other ways to generate revenue, we can possibly make the amount of the fees easier for all to live with. Let's keep our money in our county.

It was back in the early 1930s during the Depression years, and every- thing was scarce including love. Those Catholic nuns were well versed in the use of wooden pad- dles. Back then, there was no such thing as "child brutality." Quite the opposite: it was "spare the rod and spoil the child." Nevertheless, I was taught many valuable lessons there. There were no free rides everyone worked. When we first arose in the morn- ing, everyone had a cloth with wax on it. We went onto our stomachs and waxed under our bunks. Even when the food was donated, we bowed our heads and prayed before meals. We all went to our jobs for an hour before school. My job was in the laundry where I stood on an apple box and folded sheets and towels. After school, I went back to the laundry for a couple of hours. There was no time for mischief; we all had to memorize the Ten Commandments, no exceptions. We memorized the Lord's Prayer and the Catholic catechism front, CANCER?

Even shop class had a statewide test on safety issues. How many parents spend time with their children at home going over their homework or helping them with reading and basic math in the early grades? My children went to pre-school at the local church. By the time they were four they could read basic sentences. I remember many a day coming home dog tired and just wanting to grab a beer and watch the TV. But my sons expected me to spend an hour with each of them Monday through Thursday looking at their books, tests, and homework. And I did along with my wife. Isn't that what parents are supposed to do? What do we expect from our schools and teachers? They are not proxy parents. We are the parents. we set the moral tone, limits and expectations for our children. Finally, with the limited school year currently in place in Florida, there is a decided lack of hours of instruction. My children attended school in Florida. However, the county has a full summer enrich- ment program that started two weeks after the close of regular school and lasted until two weeks before the start of the fall term. My own school days started the Tuesday after Labor Day. We had Columbus Day, Veterans Day, El- ection Day off as holidays. We broke from December 20-21 through January 2-3 for Christmas. We had both Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays off. We had off from Wednesday before Holy Thursday through the entire week following Easter, plus Memorial Day. School finished the second Friday in June. Seniors graduated the Saturday after school closed. Since we had statewide exams we had to be there until the Wednes- day before the end of school. I forgot to mention that if we scored 87% or above on average over the entire four years of state- ,wide tests, we got, a 15' rc~JutLion .. ''in tuition in the state university system. Back then this amounted to about $300 a semester. If we scored 95% or better we got a 20% break. Back then this was a lot of money. Minimum wage was $1.25 an hour. JOSHUA S.

THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Thursday, June 23, 2005 Page Four Sanderson Center is going on the market One of Business Journal's Top 40 Dr Margaret (Meg) Romeo, a Macclenny dentist, was among 40 "up and coming" bust- ness and industry leaders selected by the Jacksonville Business Journal for 2005. Her pho- tograph and a brief interview appeared in a special Journal supplement the week of June 3-9. Dr. Romeo, the daughter ofMelba Dedmon and David Beaty, both of Macclenny, is a Baker High graduate who earned a bachelor's degree from Florida State University and completed dental school ten years ago at the University of Florida. She has practiced both public and private dentistry in Baker County since then, and earlier this year opened a dual private practice on South 5th St. Dr Romeo was nominated by the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, and along with fellow honorges was feted at a reception in Jacksonville earlier this month. Steals $4700 in jewely Hershel Collet, 39, who was staying with relatives nearby, was implicated June 14 in the daylight burglary of a house off Riverside Dr. near Glen St. Mary.

The suspect reportedly used a sledge hammer to break through the door, and ransacked several areas of the Deal house while in- side. He had been staying temporari- Wanted man: flees deputy A warrant was issued for the arrest of Wayne W. Myers, 43, of Sand-erion afterr he fled from De- puty Charles Goldsmith in down- town Sanderson the morning of June 13. The officer spotted Mr. Myers inthe parking lot of Cuz's One Stop just before 9:00 am, and was aware the suspect is wanted on a delinquent child support warrant from Nassau County. According to the officer, Mr. Myers resisted being handcuffed, and a shot from a Taser gun that struck him in the arm failed to stop the suspect from fleeing west on foot. The deputy gave up on the foot chase to retrieve his patrol car, and last saw Mr. Myers running into a wooded area behind the county fire station. Attacker grabs woman's purse A Macclenny woman reported she was knocked to the ground in the parking lot of the Baker Fam- ily YMCA the evening of June 16 while on her way to a parenting class. The 19-year-old victim told police her assailant fled after ran- ; sacking her purse as she.lay on the ground. The report did: not specify \ heather anything as taken. The attack happened about 7:00 and the woman described her attacker as a black male between 30-40 years old wearing blue shorts and tennis shoes. He initially asked her for a ciga- rette, and pushed her down when she.replied that she didn't smoke. ly in a tent on the property of his brother. Police are also looking into a. burglary at the Macclenny apart- ment of Nikke Ross, who returned from a brief absence June 16 to find two VCRs, a television and DVD player missing.

C'' TN License# 2216 P.O. Box 729. Mt. Airy. NC The former Sanderson Senior Center will be advertised for sale, despite Leonard Lewis' suggestion June 20 that he be given the build- ing that has for several years been home to his People. Reaching Out Inc. "Imagine how that $54,500 would look as a grant match," Mr. Lewis said. He already uses as grant match the no-rent status the after school tutoring center has with the county. The amount he cited is the ap- praised value of the building and property, which once was the black elementary school and more recently used by west county se- nior citizens. Mr. Lewis is concerned at being ousted from the building, although county officials say Rev. Videll Williams has pledged to allow the tutoring group to continue if his Faith Bible Church buys the prop- erty. But sharing the building doesn't work as well, Mr. Lewis said. "We were having to set up and tear down the computers when the Council on Aging was there," he explained. In other business, the zoning adjustment board may be revived, giving citizens an extra layer of re- view and education in county reg- ulations before a final decision is made and giving the commission a buffer from potentially volatile zoning change requests. The zoning board dissolved about ,a decade ago amid resigna- tions after one of its rulings was reversed by the commission. The new board, which may also handle special exceptions and vari- ances, will require at least one rep- resentative from the school dis- trict, which is affected by zoning decisions allowing greater residen- tial density. At'the request of Dean Woehrle of the St. Mary's River Manage- ment Committee, the commission agreed to draft an ordinance for a 100-footsctback from the river- bank for septic tanks, and for rhin- imum two acre lots with a 150- foot riverbank frontage., Member counties Nassau in Florida, Cam- den and Charlton in Georgia, have already passed the. ordinance.

The commission will seek pro- posals from engineer firms for plat review; current road engineer Ar-. thur Bedenbaugh of Lake City plans to retire. Daughter implicated in theft of safe A daughter was arrested for grand theft of a safe and its con- tents from her mother's bedroom earlier this month. Cynthia D. Pearce, 41, who had been staying temporarily at the residence of her'mother Estelle Williamson off Williamson Road, told police .that gold coins she had been spending at a neighborhood store belonged to her. The 100 pound safe taken from her mother contained $5000 cash and collector coins that matched the description of the ones passed by the suspect. It is not known whether authori- ties recovered ahy of the remain- ing cash. The safe also contained jewelry, and the theft was reported on June 15. In another theft arrest, Chris- topher Thomas, 28, of Sanderson is charged with taking two packs of beer from the Kangaroo store across from the county courthouse. about 1:00( am on" Junc 19. The store clerk called police after he-strolled out of thestore with the beer, and minutes later Deputy Ben Anderson confronted the suspect near North Boulevard. He was brought back to the store, and the clerk identified him. - - -- -- -- -- -- -- - IHURRICANE PROOF PAINTi S"One year and 3 hurricanes later, my neighbors suffered I Water intrusion -into their homes.

I I I I I Irl I 'I i' No opposition to SR 228 strip center A proposed office and small store center on SR 228 drew no opposition and was approved unan- imously at the June 14 Macclenny Commission meeting. That was in contrast to- a first public hearing May 10, when neighbors Carl Victor and Lori Du- gan argued Jimmy Yarborough's plan would devalue their property and add major traffic problems to the area. As he did last month, City Man- ager Gerald Dopson noted there are already varied uses surrounding the 2.1 acre parcel just south of Mac- clenny Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. On the north side are the Mormon Church and Macclenny Post Office. Mr. Dopson said the office and small store strip center is a good transition between the homes and the commercial growth expected as the city extends water and sew- er lines for construction of a Wal- Mart Supercenter at the intersec- tion of SR 228 and Interstate 10. City officials believe this should increase rather than depress the property values of owners border- ing SR 228. In a related item, the commis- sion approved'up to $48,000 for engineer Frank Darabi of Gaines- ville to evaluate how best to en- hance water pressure when utility lines are installed south along SR " 228 to the new Wal-Mart store. Mr. Yarborough already had proper zoning for a planned 24- unit townhouse complex he plans adjoining the office center. As for a traffic signal suggested. by several citizens, Mayor Gary Dopson said that likely will take awhile. The Florida Department of Transportation has not yet seen a need even with dozens of school buses through the SR 228 intersec- tion with Jonathan Street; he point- ed out. In another DOT item, the state agency will award a contract next February for decorative light poles on SR 121 South. "We want to be able to put Christmas decorations on th iin, so we held out not to have the con- crete poles," Manager Dopson ex- plained of the delay since the busy corridor was widened in a 16 month project completedin Sep- tember 2003. In a related item, Fire Chief D.J. "Buddy" Dugger and the city's welder Timmy Dugger will fabricate new decorations. Strands that were costing $1300, will be built for $100-150, for 35 feet across the road, Manager Dopson Explained. Chief Dugger said the new dec- or for US 90 will be white icicles ahd snowflakes. The older items will go on SR 121, and some do- nated by Glen St. Mary will be re- furbished for SR 228. Also approved was a trial four- way stop at Blair and West Ohio streets. There have been several accidents at the intersection, and traffic is heavy during and after ball games at the nearby Knabb Sports Complex. The board wants to wait until budget time to discuss installing a recording and microphone system in the meeting room. Information specialist Marshall Mann estimates it will cost about $2600. Board members declined to install the system when the room was added to City Hall in 1998. A proposed amendment.to the recently revised tree and landscape ordinance will allow owners to re- move older trees if there are "too many" on the lot. The current law requires replacement when any trees are removed. "We can still keep our minimum requirements, but we do need to use common sense," said Mas or Dopson. The ordinance requires at. least two trees per regular home lot, one each in the front and back yards, one shade and the other flowering. Property owners should check with City Hall, 259-6251, about permits before trimming or removing trees. In a final action,. the board ap- proved a $750 donation for the In- dependence Day fireworks at Northeast Florida State Hospital. Prescription forgeries A boyfriend and girlfriend are charged with prescription fraud by submitting bogus orders to all four local pharmacies written on forms from Baptist Primary Care in Jack- sonville. Anthony C. Simmons, 32, and Katherina J. Groth, 26, both of Sanderson, picked up Oxycontin pills in April and May from Ray- nor's Pharmacy, CVS, Winn-Dixie and Wal-Mart. The girlfriend told police the orders were allegedly written by Mr. Simmons because her hand- writing was too legible. All were signed in the name of a Jacksonville pediatrician who is no longer affiliated with Baptist, and who affirmed he does not treat adults. The bogus prescriptions were first reported by Raynor's, and police soon tracked others that had either been filled or rejected by the other pharmacies. Investigator Mike Combs said as many as ten orders were filled locally, along with others in Jacksonville. A Jacksonville detective earlier this month filed similar charges against the couple. They are charg- ed locally with prescription fraud and trafficking in Oxycodone. Deputy Erick Deloach was also involved in the investigation. Drugs, alcohol violate an order A man who had argued with his estranged girlfriend when she went to a residence off Tall Pine Road to collect her belongings ended up arrested for violating a court-or- dered house arrest by being drunk. Deputy Sgt. Jimmy Nickles said Richard C. Haynes, 43, of Mac- clenny also was in possession of a controlled narcotic without a pre- scription, 'another violation. Police responded to the resi- dence the evening of June 14 on a disturbance call, and found Mr. Haynes at a neighbor's residence.. He was visibly intoxicated, and the community control order that allowed him out of jail forbids al- cohol use or taking of drugs with- out a prescription. City water plant worker retires...

Surprisingly, 12% of citizens responding to a poll by the North- east Florida Regional Planning Council think that's a good idea. However, that was only three people among 25 interviewed, a statistically small sampling. "But when we talked to them, they said things like they want the small town feeling where they know all their neighbors," said RPC planner Amanda Smith in the second presentation to the Baker County Commission June 20. What those people don't under- stand is that a bedroom communi- ty has little to offer citizens. or government, Ms. Smith noted. There are few jobs, so residents must commute. Big sprawling sub- divisions offer few neighborly. connections. And the tax base is not enough to cover amenities ex- pected by all the, new and current residents. "Too often, community officials get excited about ad valorem re- sources with all the new homes, but then all those new people re- quire services: roads, utilities, po- lice, etc.," Ms. Smith said. Surprising to some in the June 8 audience, the regional council con- siders Blanding Boulevard in Clay County a bedroom community. "There are only service type busi- nesses all along there. And by.the way, that's 'not really Orange Park," Ms. Sinith explained. A mixed use or "full service" community with homes, schools, jobs, industry, shopping and recre- ation all within close proximity is much better for citizens and gov- ernment alike, Ms. Smith suggest- ed. Development is often compact, with apartments and homes above shops. Seventy-two percent or 18 of those responding to the planning council sure\ prefer the mixed use concept Six of the respondents or 25% prefer the community remain rur- al. However, with up to five large scale developments in planning stages, that's not going to happen. Adar Developers of Miami have already, begun negotiations with AUTO PARTS the county and planning council for up to 15,000 homes on more than 5800 acres along CR 125 and Ode Yarbrough Road north of Glen St. Mary. The initial project, however, is for 625 homes the trigger point for a Development of Regional Impact. Just this week a Brevard Coun- ty development group announced plans for a 232 home project in northeast Glen St. Mary along the west bank of the Little St. Marys River. Ed Lehman, growth manage- ment director for the planning council, said at least one other DRI project, Glen Plantation on 427 acres in the same area as Adar's properties, is known to be underway. He indicated three oth- ers are rumored, but has few de- tails on them so far. DRIs are actually preferable to a series of smaller projects by the same developer, Mr. Lehman ad- vised. The application process al- lows communities to exact more from the developer, including land and possibly infrastructure. A wealth of statistics was in-, cluded in the presentation, which will be repeated next Monday, June 27, 6 pm in the county ad- ministration building: Baker County has 82 residents per square mile, compared to 296 statewide. This is largely because two public forests cover a large portion of the north and west county. Home ownership is 81%, compared to 70% statewide. The median home value is $80,900; statewide it is $105,500. There are 2.86 residents per home; statewide it is 2.46 persons. The population was 22,259 in the 2000 census, has likely grown to about 24,000. Traditional growth rates portend 32,000 by 2030 but the large developments could reach that number much sooner. Of citizens responding to the survey, eight see' land use as the is- sue of most concern, five people. consider transportation most ur- gent, five tied on education and employment/economic develop- ment, two were most concerned .with environment. Seven respondents believe the road department is the most criti- cal government service. Six be- lieve the sheriff's department tops - me- as, vr ve -wjrc i n-u vm-'^1 * about the fire department, four about public utilities, three for emergency services, one on parks and recreation. However, the latter was temper- ed by comments on the national forests as recreation sites. Only 25 individuals were inter- viewed, many of them government officials. However, the planning council has gathered some added data from the two presentations so far, and expects more from addi- tional community workshops in August. Watch for notices on the work- shops, or call 259-3613 to be noti- fied by the county administration. .Macdenny man is a movie extra... -Roger Robinson, Jr ,of Macclenny played the part of a 1940's era police officer dur- ing the recent filming of the movie "Lonely Hearts" in northeast Florida.

About 8:45 the morning of June 17, Deputy Jimmy Stalnaker stop- ped James C. Wolfe, 54, for run- ning a red light at South 6th and Lowder. He was subsequently arrested for driving with a license that has been suspended twice; running the light, having no proof of insurance and improper backing. Deputy Stalnaker said Mr. Wolfe got back into his car after he was told to have someone retrieve it' from the parking lot at McDonald's. He backed into another vehicle, while the deputy watched nearby. Just after 1:00 that afternoon, Mr. Wolfe's wife Katherine J., 54, was ticketed for reckless driving after her Buick was spotted swerv- ing in and out of lanes on US 90 downtown. According to Deputy Charles Goldsmith, Ms. Wolfe failed a, roadside sobriety test but she passed another test for drug or alcohol presence. On June 19, a criminal com- plaint was filed against the cou- ple's son Caleb, 23, for falsely reporting the theft of a DVD play- er that he had lent to a friend.

She succeeds Dan Gibbs, who recently retired. Ms. Gray has worked for the agency nearly. 10 years. The NFCAA is a non-profit corporation dedicated to fighting poverty and its effect on people. In addition to Mr. Sweat, the county property appraiser,County Judge Joey Williams and Supervisor of Elections Nita Crawford were among those who attended the ceremony, held at Heritage Park. City opts'wait and see' posture on impact fees Macclenny officials have put the brakes on enacting impact fees, instead waiting to see how the Bak- er County Commission and School Board resolve public perception that their fees are too high. "All of a sudden they're talking about a bunch of money, and I'd like to see what they finally come up with. I feel impact fees -are a necessary evil, but I don't want to go overboard with them," Mac- clenny Mayor Gary Dopson said during his board's June 10 meet- ing. "I agree 100%. Let them work it out between them." said Com- missioner Vemori Bennett. City officials had been urged bN engineer Frank Darabi to .e\) the same amount as the county.- He said that would eliminate confu- sion and the possibility builders would try to jockey annexation plans for the lower fees when de- veloping property. Mr. Darabi, who is also the coun- ty's engineer, had recommended the county levy a total $3432 for a 1500 square foot home (plus $2 per additional square-foot'h cover- ing roads. sheriff, fire. rescue and recreation. He has not yet submitted a simi- lar plan for the city. Based on a study by Urbanom- ics of Ponte Vedra Beach, the school board proposed to assess $4000 for conventional homes, $3000 for mobile homes. But the final total may be closer to the $2500 many citizens said they expected. In a joint workshop June 13, county and school district officials agreed they should heed the pro- tests voiced in public hearing the previous week that packed the county commission room to over- flowing. "We need to look at the total \\e're going toput on people. We maybe don't think it's so much when we put it on a builder, but wait until your son or daughter wants to borrow that impact fee from you so they can build a home," Mayor Dopson said. The county commission and school board plan a joint public hearing on Tuesday, July 19, 7 pm at the school district meeting room -oir-South-Boulevard East. I$4.50 for 15 words?

Long-time agent Tim Owen of Jacksonville told the board June 20 that Aetna has offered a 4.1% increase on the current $900,000 premium and might forego even that hike because of a good claims year. What Owen knows and Aetna apparently does not is there are three large pending claims, two for cancer patients, one for a surgery. "If these come to 30% of your total annual premium, this could get you a 15% increase in premi- um which I consider a high risk of public money," Mr. Owen said. "But the commission has com- mitted to the local agent, and this would cut him out," Commission Chairman Julie Combs pointed out. Jack Baker's Farm Bureau Agency handles only Blue Cross/- Blue Shield policies, while Mr. Owen as an independent broker has for about 15 years gotten quotes from all insurers willing to handle Baker County's business. Mr. Baker last year protested not having an opportunity to quote, and was called in as renek\ 1 dis- cussions began MNla) 10. The poli- cy does not expire until November. Mr. 0~ en said he will immedi- ately send out the requi-st for pro- posals, but warned the commission to expect other insurers to be wary. "The) 're going to ask why when you have a zero to 4.1"% incre.ae."

Through the Jump Rope for Heart, students raised $9602 for the American Heart Association. Both schools increased their fundraising over 50%. Jump Rope for Heart is an edu- cational program targeted toward elementary and middle schools to raise money in the fight against heart' disease and stroke. The pro- grams teach students how to have fun exercising while learning the value of cardiovascular fitness and nutrition. The elementary schools were among 1500 schools which helped raise over $3,900,000. Funds will go towards American Heart Asso- ciation funded research for the pre- Sention, detection and treatment of heart diseases and stroke, in addi- lion to extensive educational and community programs.

PHOTO COUiRESY OF TINA MOBLEY Until the Fat Lady Sings OBSERVATIONS BY BOB GERARD Can one disastrous event destroy an entire sport? That's the question auto racing fans are asking after the Formula 1 Grand Prix of the United States last weekend. What a fiasco! Only six drivers competed in the event, the biggest Formula 1 race held in the United States. Fourteen pulled out before the race even got started. In this country, most of us who watch auto racing watch NAS- CAR or Indy car racing. Formula 1 has true open-wheeled race cars, exotic machines sponsored by Fer- rari, Lotus, and McClaren. Most of the top drivers are European or South American. The sport was big in the. U.S: in the sixties, but as NASCAR grew more powerful, Fl's popularity lagged. It's still huge overseas, however. But after last weekend, its death knell might have sounded. The mass bailout happened after Mich- elin, which supplied 14 teams in- cluding most of the big names, judged its tires were unsafe in the high oval of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Rather than make the decision early in qualification and then sup- ply the necessary replacement tires, Michelin made the announcement right before the race. Drivers could take the track and risk their lives on tires the manufacturer deemed unsafe, or pull out and leave thou- sands of fans furious. They pulled out. Ferrari stayed in because its cars race on Italian-made Pirelli tires and were safe at Indy. As a result, Ferrari got its first win of the F1 season. Fans went through the roof, booing superstar driver Michael Schumacher, as well as the Miche- lin drivers. The race has suffered financial- ly over the last few years, and I personally wonder whether the negative publicity hasn't killed the Grand Prix of the U.S., at least for a few years to come. On a lighter note, the Florida Gators continue to excel at the College World Series. The Gators are 2-0 after beating the Tennessee Volunteers in the opener and com- ing back to beat a very tough Ne- braska team in the second game. The Gators look very good and will be awfully hard to beat. Whether they are the hottest team in the tournament, I don't know. The Texas Longhorns beat my Baylor Bears (who stayed alive in the tournament, however, with an exciting 10-inning win over Ore- gon State Sic 'em, Bears). The 'Horns also beat top-ranked Tu- lane. If you haven't been watching, you've not only missed some real- ly good baseball, but also some re- ally good commentary on ESPN. PRESS ADVERTISING DEADLINE 4 PM MONDAY BY LAURA BETH BRINER Press Sports Last week in The Florida Times Union, the paper's sports depart- ment chose its annual All-First Coast Girls Track teams. Amazingly, Baker County High School's Sharhonda Dinkens did- n't make the first, second or third teams. Dinkens, who graduated this year, placed sixth in the state for both the discus and shot put. It was the second year in a row she went to states in both events. She was district champion in class 2A and placed second in re- gionals. BCHS athletic director Melody Coggin said she was "furious" when she read the results. "I'm really curious as to how they picked them. They obviously just ignored us. It's not the first time, it's not the last time." Times-Union writer Chase Good- bread, who covers high school sports, confirmed that Baker County is part of the First Coast, but when asked about the criteria for selecting the girls track stars, he referred the question to Jeff El- liot, who did not return a phone message Tuesday. *. * ... . .. ,, ..-.,, April 20, 2005 at SSt. Vincent's Medical Center.

The new price is also lower than it cost for the last cell, on which work began nearly three years ago. Cell 5 is now projected to cost $749,600, nearly $30,000 less than the last 20'/2 acre parcel. The per- mit application is due by August 28, and construction is expected to begin early in 2006. Earlier this year, Mr. Darabi had suggested a 5% increase over the price for Cell 4, which was com- pleted in 2003. A May 27 letter triggered the misunderstanding, stating, "...labor intensive costs for engineering have increased over 6% per year or a total of 18%." "I've got a problem if you tell us it's going to be a 5% increase and it turns out to be 18%," protested Eddie Lewis of Bradford County. "That was only a justification for predicting that the 5% was a reasonable increase," Mr. Darabi said. He agreed to resubmit the let- ter, omitting or modifying the con- fusing comment. He also agreed to combine the itemized expense list to renew the operating permit with the construction list. In a final concession, Mr. Dara- bi said he will submit his monthly requests for payment with at least four columns for each line item of the construction project: original T ,le C 297 -.1 .

Two hospital employees con- firmed what the patients reported about the attacks by John C. Bat- tle, 33, who is 6'2" and weighs 402 pounds. He lifted a 49-year-old male patient into the air and slammed him to the ground before kicking him about the torso, the complaint alleges. He also struck a 43-year-' old male patient in the head and neck while the man was watching television. The attack occurred just before 1:00 pm, and the patient was ar- rested for battery. In a domestic violence case the afternoon of June 17, Timothy E. Crawford, 46, was charged with battery of his estranged 41-year- old wife Donna when she attempt- ed to collect belongings from their residence off CR 127.
