THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS Paid circulation leader Winner of l O fate awards forjournalism excellence in 2007 78th Year, Vol. 10 Thursday, July 5, 2007 Macclenny, Florida 50s Arsenic in water near Pineview under normn The Baker County Health Department said on July 3 that recent testing of ten private wells in the vicinity of the for- mer Pineview golf course in northwest Macclenny turned up arsenic content far below the federal maximum contami- nant levels, and in at least one sample arsenic was not detect- ed at all. The results released this week mirror those of tests on 14 water sources, both public and private, that were com- pleted in January of this year. The Baker County Health De- partment conducted the earlier tests after a newly-hired physi- cian at Fraser Hospital raised the possibility that arsenic con- tamination may be responsible for chronic illnesses she was seeing in her internal medicine practice. The physician, Dr. Alison Lex, was fired in March in large part because she per- sisted in the belief that arsenic, was playing a role in the high incidence of cancer and other ills in Baker County. "This is preliminary raw data only, but the health depart- ment at this time has no plans for further testing," said Terry Graham,. an environmental specialist. "Private citizens can request water sampling and there is a nominal fee for it." The testing has significance because the former golf course off Lowder St. would be the most likely place for harmful contaminants to seep though into a water supply. The cur- rent owners of the 137-acre property plan eventually to construct 400 homes or sell it to another developer and have had to scrape off hundreds of tons of topsoil because its arsenic content was above the maximum allowed for residen- tial tracts. Much of the contaminated soil is piled into a large mound and will be sold off for accept-, able uses like parking lot and building foundation fill. The latest tests in the vicin- ity of Pineview ranged from a high of .000253 milligrams per liter (mpg/L) to levels so low as to be non-detectable. The maximum concentration allowed by the federal EPA is .01 mpg/L. "We will continue to moni- tor the situation but for now we're satisfied that adequate testing is complete and it shows the local water supplies far below what is acceptable as to arsenic content," added Mr. Graham. The testing was requested by EPA, and state health and environmental agencies and the estimated $1000 cost fund- (See page 2) A B T at NEFSH! /ith 200" ,idepet',ldeu e Da i .lc'/l ai1ii a, \I't thIrea Florida State HrosphiialI uraII III.t Iarli 3.0i.?n.

PHOTOS BY KELLEY LANNIGAN e~DLlasll~Rs8~1sa*8~~ Pre-K programs praise testing methods used by state BY ANDREW BARE Press staff Several Baker County pre-kindergar- ten centers offered praise and support for Florida's Voluntary Pre-Kindergar- ten Program, saying it adequately mea- sured their levels of achievement. On June 20, the Florida Department of Education released the results of test- ing from the 2005-2006 school year that purported to show the extent to which pre-k centers were preparing children for kindergarten. The testing took place within the context of the Voluntary Pre- Kindergarten program, to which six Baker County centers are a part. As re- ported in last week's Press, the highest score belonged to the Special Blessings School Readiness center, which scored 265 out of a possible 300. But right behind with a 264 score was the Baker County Pre-Kindergarten pro- gram, the school district's pre-k center for Baker County. Sherrie Raulerson, principal of Baker County Pre-K, was understandably excited about her pro- gram's score. "We are very pleased with our scores we got with our full-year pre-k," Ms. Raulerson said. "But we're still looking [to improve.]" But what, exactly, does the state's COVERING BAKER COUNTY SINCE 1929 The county s most professional and extensive source for news, classified, display and real estate listings www.bakercountypress.com ** 904.259.2400 .. 904.259.6502 Fax .. bcpress@nefcom.net VPK testing measure?

It was not so kind to the county's lone high school. When the state released its individual school grades for the 2006- 2007 school year, BCMS received an "A" rating, the highest pos- sible and the first time a Baker County school attained the highest grade. This makes the middle school eligible for a grant from the state in the form of an extra $100 per student. Baker County High School, meanwhile, was given a "D" grade, the second-lowest. It was a fall from the school's 05-06 "C" ranking. At the moment, the high school is in no danger of state sanctions or g w.er penalties. But if staff there can't ac-sA ,i a ei improve the s ".e school's perfor- mance, by this time next year BCHS could be dealing with state recommen- dations. The grades were based on the results of the FCAT test, which measures students' abilities in math, writing, sci- ence and reading. The inclusion of science testing was new in 2006-2007. 7 Keller Intermedi- ate School was able to raise its grade from a "D" in 05- 06 to a "C" for the most recent school year. BCMS principal David Davis was effusive in praising his school's staff, especially vice- principal Gail Griffis, who he said was responsible for implement- ing an FCAT-centered curriculum. Mr. Davis called teachers on Fri- day after the grades were released and followed up the phone calls with congratulatory letters. "Each year our scoring has been growing upward," he said. "I firmly believe that a school has to balance academics and the disci- pline factors to score well on the state guidelines." The principal said repeatedly that the improvement in test scores was related to an improvement in school discipline, which has been an emphasis at the middle school. SBCHS staffers were, understandably, less thrilled with last week's news. Principal David Crawford was away from his desk on Monday and Tuesday and couldn't,be reached for comment. Vice-Principal Johnnie Jacobs insisted that, while he was "disappointed" with his school's grade, Baker County High School was still doing a good job teaching its students. "If you don't just look at the A-B-C-D score, if you look at the individual categories, and if you look at where we've been to where we are now, there has been steady, consistent improvement," Mr. Jacobs said. "There's more to a school than the FCAT. You look at the programs you've got going at a high school, from a vocational standpoint, I don't know of any high school that offers as much as we do." Both Mr. Jacobs and Baker County Superintendent Paula Barton said that the state had changed certain aspects of its FCAT testing for the 06-07 school year. The change that killed BCHS' chance at maintaining its "C" rating was the decision to penalize a school if its lowest quartile of students failed to improve from the 05-06 year. Mr. Jacobs said the Baker High had enough points to qualify as a "C" school, but the failure of its worst students to improve knocked BCHS down to a "D." "We're going to have to work things so that those students, that (See page 2) ke,. - --a""l~s"s~llaaaansIr~--t r--nmrn4---rasrmr~-~--"~.llll~n~lPi~ THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS, Thursday July 5, 2007 Page 2 a u Iv* *is* *UMBI >sl 1 4 *MN , q4, 1P.G W w -J * .

Connie Craig, a teacher at ABC Childcare and Learning Center, believes that to be one of the most important roles a pre-k center plays. "You have to get [children] used to being away from their parents," Ms. Craig said. "So when they go to kindergarten they're not kicking and scream- ing. If they're already in the en- vironment and they're used to being away from their parents and they're getting used to play- ing with other kids, that's how you get them socially into doing things." A driving force behind the state's VPK movement is the evolving role kindergartens SMacclei have begun to adopt.

That shift in thinking has forced pre-k centers to assume the bur- dens formally assigned to kin- dergarten. "I taught kindergarten for 19 years, and in my 19 years it changed, probably the last seven to eight years," Ms. Raul- erson said. "The first 10 to 12 years were a lot of pre-readiness things, colors and shapes, so- cialization, more of those basic skills. "Now, these pre-school class- es are doing a lot of things that kindergarten used to do. That's what kindergarten is, it's the new first grade."

"And we have to look at things like what pro- grams, what reading programs we've had students working on, to see which has been the most effective with students in that group." Mr. Jacobs, pointed out that schools around Florida had seen their grades drop as a result of the state's changes. He defended BCHS as a good school that was constantly improving. "I've been here 12 years, working," he said. "I grew up here. I went to school here. And this is the strongest I've ever seen the faculty at this school. I feel real good about going into this year. We've got the person- nel, the programs. We feel very' good about the core programs that we have. We're at the point where we just have to match the two up properly. We have to get the right personnel with the right program with the right kids." Ms. Barton said she wasn't planning on making any person- nel changes at the high school and expressed confidence in the school's overall educational mis- sion. "Baker County High School has made improvements in FCAT scores, but the students in the lower 25 quartile are not making progress," she said. "I can tell you the kids are learning over at the high school." Crews is certified commissioner First-term Baker County commissioner Gordon Crews last month joined the ranks of more than 200 counterparts across Florida certified by the Florida Association of Counties. Commissioner Crews was given the designation along with five others during an awards ceremony at the FAC annual conference in Orlando. Board members voluntarily enroll in the certification program and must complete a series of courses totaling 42 hours. They cover areas like government operations, structure, financial management, ethics and the Sunshine Law, effective communication and others. Others recently certified included commissioners from Bradford, Gadsden, Marion, St. Johns and Citrus counties. AutoCrafters Collision Repair 180 S.

In Jacksonville, for instance, you can at least aspire to Stanton Prep from one of the failing high schools like Raines or Ribault. Here, if sending a child to a "D" high school, is bothersome, your only remaining choices are private schools. And unless one has extra-curricular reasons to fork out the money for the private system, it is and should be unac- ceptable to taxpaying citizens that the county's high school is underperforming. Another "D" score next year and the state will likely be stepping in with yet more "suggestions" on how to run a system that has lost most of its local autonomy already. We don't want that. As the article in this week's edition points out, there are miti- gating circumstances that could have pulled BCHS down into the "D" dungeon. But except to school district employees, who have a vested interest in putting living room' comments were favorable to the administration. My guess is that Mr. Craw- ford has at most another year to get that "D" erased, particularly if Superintendent Paula Barton plans on seeking another term next year. By then, the high school will become an even big- ger "elephant." And what's important for ev- eryone to remember is we don't want a "D" performing school at any level, but especially high school. It says things about Bak- er County that aren't necessarily true, but can't be ignored or ex- plained away. It is what it is. We shouldn't like the way it makes us feel about ourselves, we shouldn't like the negativity it signifies to the outside world, and above all we shouldn't tol- erate what it probably indicates about many of the young men and women graduating from Baker County High School. They likely, indeed, know little. Baker High does not want to be known as a high school with a Jumbotron on its, football field,. and a declining number of peo- ple in the stands and on the field who are able to read the words displayed on it. Paris-fettish, among others This column doesn't have a single focus; as a matter of fact, it's pretty unfocused. It's a col- lection of things that have been rolling around in my mind or struck me from the news these past few weeks. So here goes: v Paris Hilton is out of the slammer. Hold on to your jewel- encrusted iPhone because Paris has been wearing orange prison coveralls and eating prison food and must be having bling with- drawals. Though' I love Paris, France, I'm tired of Paris Hilton. I just can't imagine why the world is so fascinated with her. She was the top news when I was in Italy. CNN Europe and BBC followed every second of her re-arrest. They even pushed aside the res- ignation of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs for Paris. It was pretty ridiculous. I didn't care if she was in jail or out of jail. She's not part of my world. I just can't understand our fascination with someone who doesn't DO anything except party- VThen there's Brittany Spears. What a whack job she turned out to be. The former Mousekateer is in and out of rehab and then decides it would be a good fash- ion move to shave off all her hair ala Sinead O'Connor.

When ex- husband Kevin Federline K- MY SIDE OF THE MATTER ROBERT GERARD Fed refuses to sign divorce pa- pers because he thinks she's a bad influence on their children, the world has swung off its axis and is tumbling out of control. K-Fed as a moral arbiter? Help? This is too weird even for me. v Emboldened by Paris's re- lease from jail, the president . commuted the sentence of Lou- is "Scooter" Libby. Remem- ber him? Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff who, as it turned out, did not leak the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame. He just lied about his involvement in the fiasco, and got 30 months. .The president commuted his sentence so he doesn't have to go to jail. Hmm. I wonder if he considered commuting Paris's sentence too? It makes just as much sense. Presidents commute sen- tences all the time. Most chief executives have commuted over a dozen by the time they leave office. But most of those come in cases where it's very question- able whether the offender was guilty in the first place. A lot of people in the know thought that Libby took the fall for the Vice President and was acting under orders. That will provide a little campaign fodder for the Democrats this next elec- tion. V Speaking of Democrat can- didates, John Edwards just saw his stock go up a little this week thanks to conservative colum- nist Ann Coulter. The darling of the far right said in an interview that she wished that the terror- ists would kill the former senator from North Carolina. It would be good for the country. I'm not making that up. This woman is a talking toad- stool spouting poison. Rerpem- ber what happened to Don Imus? He got dropped so fast his cow- boy hat was spinning. No one has dropped Coulter from their stations or their newspapers. I guess saying out loud that you wished terrorists killed a politi- cal candidate somehow doesn't rank up there with questionable racial slurs in the pantheon of po- litical correctness. V Finally, I am tired of crude. I'm tired of bad language, I'm tired of total lack of politeness. No matter where you go, peo- ple are rude and crude. You can be in a restaurant, in the mall, in a noisy movie, any- where. It's ridiculous. I was in St. Paul's Cathedral in Rome and an American college student be- hind me was cursing up a storm. It was amazing. . Maybe they were filming a re- ality show. AIiL I on-the driver's part to apologize for nearly killing us. Earlier that week, I had de- cided to sit outside at a cafe table for lunch, again at Calendars. I was contentedly reading my book and relaxing when a group of young teenagers, idle now that school is out, came skulk- ing around the corner. A woman hurried after them demanding to know who had just shattered the glass bottles in the middle of the street. Finally, she got an admission from one and pressured him into cleaning up his mess, but not without con- siderable griping. With the entire sidewalk at their disposal, this unsavory group then decided to congre- gate within two and a half feet of my table, seemingly oblivious to my presence.

I contacted the vendor the next morning. He, too, was dis- appointed, and said he had some unusual malfunctions which could not be explained to the crowd. He was apologetic and offered us a greater, show next year at a significant discount in price. The show scheduled for next year is a larger one than last year. It should be worth it. I appreciate his willingness to make it right. Thanks to all those who supported our fireworks and Independence Day celebration this year. Northeast Florida State Hos- pital has a great supporting cast that makes this celebration pos- sible. They deserve the best. Sam Kitching Volunteer Services Director Northeast Florida State Hospital Pre-Kscoring reflects students from 05-06 term Dear Editor: After -reading the article (in last week's Press) about the Pre- K scores, I would like to clear something up. I am sure most of your read- ers already figured this out, but in case they did not I want to ex- plain it to them. The Pre-k scores that were recently released are based on the 2005-2006 VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) year. These scores come from the stu- dents who attended the program from August 2005 through May 2006. The students are actually assessed once they get to kinder- garten. While I am very proud of Spe- cial Blessings for achieving the top score for the county, I think it is important to give credit where credit is due. During the school year of 2005-2006 when the as- sessed students were enrolled at Special Blessings (and the 16 years before that), Mrs. Rae Wolfe (the writer's mother) was the director. The teachers at the time were myself and five other ladies, of which only one remains at the center. Interesting isn't it! As far as the situation with ABC Learning Center, I agree with them they were not given a fair shot, and unfortunately they are not alone in this type of situ- ation. As a former Pre-k teacher, current elementary school teach- er and a former member of the School Readiness Coalition, I think it is important for parents to remember that these are just numbers. There are a lot of fac- tors that go into what makes up a quality early education program. While it is important that chil- dren be prepared academically, it is also important that they be loved, safe and happy.

Ms. Carr has been crocheting the warm, handmade coverings as part of her activities in the home service group of the GFWC Mac- clenny Woman's Club, of which she has been a member for over two decades. "When I was first invited to the Woman's Club, it was mostly a social organization and met in the late afternoon," said Ms. Carr. "When it began meeting in the morning and emphasizing community service projects, that's when I decided to get involved because that's what I'm all about serving the community." At one point, Ms. Carr came up with the idea of making Christmas stockings for resi- dents of Wells Nursing Home. The next year, she decided to make blankets. Since so many of the residents were in wheelchairs, she began experimenting with the size of the blankets. It was trial and error at first, but finally Ms. Carr got the dimen- sions correct. The blankets, known as "lap robes," are sized to cover someone sitting in a wheelchair and eliminate the risk of get- ting' caught in the wheels. Eventually, the club project expanded to include Macclenny Nursing and Rehab. It takes Ms. Carr about 24 hours to com- plete a lap robe. She buys the yarn and do- nates the cost and her time to the project. The blankets are crafted in sections which she calls "strips." Sirips are mass produced and when 'she"has; a large collection she co- ordinates them into patterns. The matched strips are then crocheted together to make a blanket, and a border is added to the outer edge. As the lap robes grow in quantity, Ms. Carr begins stacking them in piles according to their destinations. "I stockpile throughout the year. The nurs- ing facilities let me know how many they are going to need each holiday." Ms. Carr also makes and sends lap robes to Operation Smile, an international organi- zation of volunteer medical personnel who repair facial deformities in children. She uses a different type of yarn for blan- kets for children and babies, one that is much working nightly, keeping the fingers nimble " "i"'- , Tries to throw table A Sanderson patron of Mac's Liquors in downtown Macclenny apparently injured a hand while taking on a task a bit beyond his capabilities. Michael Davis, 33, was drunk and staggering when confronted by Deputy Patrick McGauley following a disturbance call about 10:30 the evening of June 30. Mr. Davis' response was un- intelligible when quizzed by the officer about a small laceration on his hand. Fellow bar patron Kimberly Barton stepped up and said Mr. Davis was "trying to lift the pool table to throw it." He then alleg- edly tossed a cup at an employee behind the bar, then tried to fight several other patrons. Deputy McGauley noted that Mr. Davis did manage to say, "Don't [mess] with me. I know people," before he was taken to jail and charged with disorderly intoxication. In another arrest, Tiara Rob- inson, 18, of Macclenny was charged with resisting Deputy Curtis Ruise and disorderly con- duct for allegedly interfering in his questioning of Chazatee Moore, also 18 and from Mad- clenny, about a criminal mischief incident the evening of June 27.. When the officer arrived 'al the scene off Grissholm St.,'it was the third time police hhd been called to investigate distir- bances involving Ms. Robinson and Ms. Moore. The latter sus- pect allegedly damaged a vehicle belonging to Ashley Amerson by tossing a brick at it. Both women fled on foot when Deputy Ruise arrived about 9:00. He saw Ms. Moore run into her residence on South 9th St. and while questioning her abdut the disturbance, the other suspect arrived and began yelling at the officer. She refused to calm her- self and was handcuffed before she was taken to county jail. A criminal complaint will be filed against Ms. Moore for throwing the brick. PHOTO BY KELLEY LANNIGAN softer. Ms. Carr began to crochet when she was very young. Her mother tried to teach her the technique when she was eight years old, but she wasn't interested. By the time she was 12, however, she greatly desired to have a crocheted doily set for her bedroom. She ap- proached her mother to teach her, but was refused. "Mom, was like that. If she made a ges- ture and you didn't respond, then you were on your own and she wouldn't be moved," said Ms. Carr. Undaunted, the stubborn 12-year-old saved her money and bought yarn, a needle and an instruction' booklet from the dime store. "You could buy a crochet pattern book for ten cents back then," says Ms. Carr. "That same book would cost you four or five dol- lars today." Over and over, she struggled to make the chain circle that begins the pattern. After considerable effort, she produced the entire doily set and proudly placed it before her mother. "She examined' it with all its beginner's. flaws and said, "Well, Olga, not bad for a be- ginner, but I think you can do much better work than this," remembers Ms. Carr. "That was her way of challenging me. I kept at it and finally mastered the technique." Seven decades later, she is still at it. Al- though her mother never used a pattern book and crocheted by instinct, Ms. Carr became adept at interpreting the special shorthand in which crochet pat- tern instructions are written. "Mother could look at something I and figure out how - Frequently suspended driver stopped for blaring his music The driver of a car stopped the afternoon of June 30 on Woodlawn Rd. was at the wheel despite the fact that his license has been sus- pended 16 times. Deputy Garrett Bennett said he followed the Pontiac sedan driven by Dale Lee, 35, of Macclenny because loud music was emitting from it near South 6th and George Hodges Rd. A computer check revealed Mr. Lee's license was suspended for failure to appear in court, failure to pay past fines and failure to pay child support.. In similar cases, Axavier Johnson, 28, of Brooksville, Ga. was taken to county jail the next morning after the 2002 Ford SUV he was driv- ing westbound on Interstate 10 was stopped for traveling 87 mph in the 70 zone. Deputy Randy Davis learned Mr. Johnson's license was under sus- pension and the SUV displayed an incorrect tag, which the suspect said he removed from his father's vehicle. Deputy James Marker said he was acting on a tip when he spotted Leslie Starling, 36, of Glen St. Mary driving a 1995 Honda near the intersection of Mud Lake Rd. (CR 130) and CR 125 south of Glen St. Mary the morning of June 27. Authorities were already aware her license had been suspended five times for DUI and failure to pay child support. William Homitz, 39, of Sanderson was arrested just after midnight on June 28 on a Clay County warrant charging him with failure to ap- pear in court and driving on a suspended license.

During her long career as an airline ticket reservationist, Ms. Carr spent considerable time traveling to other countries and espe- cially loved China. Her home is decorated in an Oriental motif in the characteristic colors of black and red. On the black lacquer dining room table is a long, white crocheted table cloth in a pattern called Queen Ann's Lace, which resembles the blossom of the flower of the same name. "I knew the dimensions of my furniture which I had special-ordered from the Ori- ent," said Ms. Carr. "I made the table cloth and runners for the side furniture while I waited for it to arrive." Ms. Carr describes herself as a no-non- sense person who has always spoken the truth as she sees it, even at the risk of offend- ing others. "I'm sure I've aggravated a lot of folks over the years, and many wouldn't think so, but I do have a big heart, especially for ani- mals, little children and old folks."

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treat- ment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water, Our water source is ground water from two wells. The wells draw from the Floridan Aquifer. Our water is obtained from ground water sources and is aerated and chlorinated for disinfection purposes. In 2004 the Department of Environmental Protection has performed a Source Water Assessment on our system and a search pf the data sources indicated no potential sources of contamination near our wells. The assessment results are available on the DEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.dep.state.us/swapp. This report shows our water quality results and what they mean. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Richard Harris or Walter Sloan at 904-259-4491. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at City Hall at 7 pm,. Macclenny li Water Treatment Facility routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws, rules and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2006. Data obtained before January 1, 2005, and presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations. In the table below, you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions: Action Level (AL) The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow, Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs .as feasible using the best ,vailjble treatment technology., . Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/I) one part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (mg/1) one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample. **Results in the Level Detected column for radiological contaminants, inorganic contaminants, synthetic organic contaminants including pesticides and herbicides, and volatile organic contaminants are the highest average at any of the sampling points or the highest detected level at any sampling point, depending on the sampling frequency.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stornrwater runoff, and residential uses. (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemo- therapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The Zoning Adjustment Board, which met Monday, unanimously decided to allow Kitty Boswell-Herda, the owner of Catering To You, a personal chef service, to locate her busi- ness in the house at 132 Florida Ave. Ms. Boswell-Herda re- ceived a variance on zoning, from residential to commercial. No one spoke in opposition to the business, and Ms. Bo- swell-Herda said there would be little foot traffic in and out of the home. Her catering business generally focuses on preparing meals for individuals, though she also works at large events. Ms. Boswell-Herda is affili- ated with the Tree Steak House, which-has locat-ions4n Jackson- ville and, Atlantiew Beach.- She- says she was drawn to Macclen- ny by its similarity to the small town where she grew up.

Georgia Monfort, the coun- ty's animal control officer, said the animals were suffering from malnutrition and owner Melburn Bailey, 36, had been warned be- fore about a similar situation. The department received com- plaints from neighbors about the situation, and a crew from Clay Electric Co-op also called to in- quire what could be done. Mr. ,Bailey had been seen at the residence three times since electricity was turned off last month. Ms. Monfort told Deputy Gavin Sweat three of the animals were vicious and were tranquil- ized before being transported to the animal shelter off Steel Bridge Rd. Four of the animals were tied to trees, one with just over five feet of chain. Another was found under a di- lapidated mobile home with both rear legs broken. What food and water they received came from a neighbor, police were told. only six parking spots at the of- fice, a reduction from normal levels. According to Mr. Ferreira, there is ample parking on a nearby field, and the request was made strictly for aesthetic reasons; namely, he did not want the facility to have as much con- crete as is normally associated with parking lots. And Shameka Paige was granted permission to open a Man accused( abuse oftwo sti A 48-year old north Baker County man was arrested on July 2 and charged with sexually --abusing two-step-daughters-over--- a six-year period. ... The suspect, who is not be- ing named to protect the identity of the step-daughters, now 16 and 17 years old, was arrested at county jail late that day af- ter sheriff's investigator Brad Dougherty questioned him and both alleged victims. The step- father denied the allegations. The investigator said police were first tipped off by the moth- er of a friend of the 16-year-old girl, who found a letter from her in her daughter's bedroom and turned it over to Deputy Tracie Benton. Investigator Dougherty went to the suspect's home north of Sanderson, and both the ac- cused and step-daughter agreed to be questioned at the sheriff's annex.

ALL 006MODES.. 00/ Federal charges pending against Sanderson man ASanderson man is in federal custody this week following his indictment by a Jacksonville grand jury on June 21 for con- spiracy to distribute cocaine in both powder and solid (crack) forms. John D. (Rocky) Blanton, 43, is held without bond pending a detention hearing before a US magistrate later this month. It is :not known if the US Attorney's -office will seek to keep him in *jail while it looks into other po- tential accomplices in what was -described as a distribution ring that operated in Baker and other counties. Mr. Blanton, arrested during .a search warrant raid at his resi- dence off Mud Lake Rd. east of :CR 228 in late April, was taken back into custody on June 25. The earlier arrest of Mr. Blanton, *and Jason Oralls, 32, of Glen St. .Mary was for possessing cocaine with intent to distribute. The lo- .cal charges against Mr. Blanton were dropped in favor of the broader federal indictment. Randy Crews, a Baker County investigator on loan to a multi- county federal drug task force, declined further comment on circumstances surrounding the federal case, but hinted at "the potential for further arrests" as the investigation progresses. As borne out by the dozens of federal drug cases made in the early 1990s, including that against former sheriff Joe New- mans, federal authorities often initially arrest key defendants before casting a wider net for co-conspirators based on infor- mation obtained from them. Of- ten plea agreements are part of the process. Last Sawmill man sentenced The last of 15 defendants in the 2005 federal drug conspiracy case known as "Operation Saw- mill" was sentenced June 19 in Jacksonville to 140 months in prison. James Dewaye Merrett, 43 at the time of his arrest in February of that year, was one of the key defendants in the conspiracy case that resulted from a local, state and federal task force ac- tive over a number of years. The other key defendant, his younger brother John Merrett, is current- ly serving a federal sentence. The case was so named be- cause the Merrett brothers oper- ated a sawmill on the Georgia side of the St. Mary's River in Nassau County, and from that location directed a smuggling and distribution ring for both methamphetamines and mari- juana. Their operational network for importing the drugs stretched to Mexico and southern. Califor- nia. The indictment also included several Baker County residents, some also currently in prison.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treat- ment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water source is ground water from two wells. The wells draw from the Floridan Aquifer. Our water is obtained from ground water sources and is aerated and chlorinated for disinfection purposes. In 2004 the Department of Environmental Protection has performed a Source Water Assessment on our system and a search of the data sources indicated no potential sources of contamination near our wells. The assessment results are available on the DEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.dep.state.us/swapp. This report shows our water quality results and what they mean. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Richard Harris or Walter Sloan at 904-259-4491. We encourage our valued customers to be informed about their water utility, If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the second Tuesday of each month at City Hall at 7 pm. The City of Macclenny routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws, rules and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2006. Data obtained before January 1, 2005, and presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations. In the table below, you may find unfamiliar terms and abbreviations. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLG The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum residual disinfectant level or MRDL The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum residual disinfectant level goal or MRDLG The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/1) one part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (mg/1) one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample. Action Level (AL) The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Picocurie per liter (pCi/L) The measure of the radioactivity of water.

As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health, Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemo- therapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporldium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). We at City of Macclenny would like you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to Insur- ing the quality of your water. If you have any questions or concerns about the information provided, please feel free to call any of the numbers listed.

The best thing about ACT is how it restores confidence, self- esteem and initiative," said Ms. Canady. Although ACT is perfor- mance-based, it does not impact the grade given to Baker High by the state. Where the impact is obvious, according to Dr. Webb, is in the over-all county gradua- tion rate. "This preparation and testing is enabling students to receive a diploma who would not other- wise," she said. "In that way it is changing their life." Participating in WIA and go- ing through the ACT training is not a substitute for FCAT. All students are mandated by law to receive FCAT instruction. FCAT is very generalized, said Robin Mobley, the district's curriculum director. "And it is not 'concrete sequential.' It sim- ply doesn't reflect all a student may know." Students have the benefit of being able to prepare more in depth for ACT testing which in turn could raise their FCAT scores. Results of ACT scores are available more quickly then FCAT, which helps identify ar- eas in which students need re- medial work. To be eligible for participa- tin in WIA, a student must have failed FCAT testing three times and also be on track to complete one of the district's ten vocation- al programs. Caleb Bedell and Cory Nor- berg, two seniors that recently successfully completed the WIA program and received their di- plomas, were recognized at Monday's meeting. Mr. Bedell will be training in Ocala soon as a fire fighter and Mr. Norberg has interviewed with Wal-Mart Distribution Center and plans to attend FCCJ in the fall.

Public Affairs S Cports NASCAR back at Daytona There are two times a year ,when area NASCAR fans are beside themselves with anticipa- tion. The Daytona 500, the start of the stock car racing season is one of them. This weekend's Pepsi 400 is the other. The 400 at the Daytona Inter- national Speedway is a great way to celebrate July 4th because it is always full of firecracker excite- ment. In fact, before the age of sponsorship, this race was called the Firecracker 400. If you need a little more in- centive to take in this race, it will be the last time that Dale Earn- hardt Jr. will strap on a helmet at Daytona as a driver for DEI. The next time he fires up the engine at Daytona it will be in a Hen- dricks Motorsports car. Tony Stewart will be trying for his third straight 400 win and as unlikely as that will be, Stew- or the 400 art is racing well enough for it to happen. Over 20 former Daytona win- ners will be on hand this week- end to mark the 25th anniversary of the race. There's plenty going on. The Rolex Great American Sports Car Series practice kicks off on Thursday. The race is at 8:00 pm. It's 70 laps and 250 miles. Friday is Winn-Dixie 250 qualifying and pole qualifying for the 400. The 250 is at 8:00 pm. Saturday's 400 is at 8:00 pm and if you aren't lucky enough to be at the race you can watch it on TNT. There are lots of things go- ing on in the fanzone, from rock climbing, live bands, and inter- views with drivers.
