chase flood insurance.
County officials initially reported
that an estimated 16,000 parcels of
land, represented by 7,000 property

WASHINGTON - In a calculated

Foreign Relations Committee dis-
missed plans for a troop buildup in
Iraq on Wednesday as "not in the

Nugent: 'Shirt didn't bother Gov. Perry'


AUSTIN, Texas - Ted Nugent says
Gov. Rick Perry had no problem with
his decision to wear a Confederate flag
shirt during his appearance at last
week's inaugural ball - and even
complimented his performance.
Nugent, 58, said Perry talked to him
backstage after the black-tie event,
complimenting him on "the greatest
rock 'n' roll" and thanking him for
coming, several newspapers reported
Tuesday. The governor also called over
the weekend, ending the conversation

Nugent was quoted as saying.
Perry spokesman Robert Black said
the governor wouldn't wear such a
shirt, but told Nugent he has the right
to wear whatever he wants.
"If you're going to defend freedom of
expression, then you're going to have
to defend all freedom of expression,"
Black said.
When asked if Perry would have
invited Nugent if he had known what
he would wear, Black said: "Yes."

Ronald A. Rale, an
attorney for the 39-year-old

questioned the legality of the

authorities needed to grant
work permits before an
American doctor could
conduct the test.
The judge granted a stay

Rale said.
SBirkhead's attorney, Debra
Opri, called Rale's request "a
delay tactic."
She claimed the test was

INVERNESS - The trial of
a man charged with kidnap-

circuit court judge ruled
Wednesday.
John Evander Couey's attor-

they can have more time to
question new witnesses for the
prosecution.
Prosecutors are seeking the
death penalty in the trial,

CORRECTION

In a story in Wednesday's edition of the Lake City Reporter,
information about the Columbia County Board of County
Commissioners challenge grant for Columbia County Senior
Services was incorrect. The commissioners approved a 2-1 chal-
lenge grant up to $100,000, which means that for every $2 raised
for the Lifestyle Enrichment Center, the county will match $1, up to
a maximum of $100,000.

Jacksonville agrees Bense named to
to settle lawsuit Enterprise Florida


JACKSONVILLE - The
city will pay an atheist group
$5,000 in attorney fees and
avoid holding religious
events in the future in the
settlement of a lawsuit over a
day of faith rally.
The Aug. 12 rally was in
response to a spiraling
murder rate and the July 26
shooting death of 8-year-old
Dreshawna Davis. Her
slaying sparked community
outrage and more aggressive
measures to reduce the
homicide rate.
The settlement reached
Friday requires the city to
write New Jersey-based
American Atheists Inc. a
letter saying it did not intend
to violate the First
Amendment and will warn
department heads against
funding programs that "foster
excessive entanglements with
religion."
Despite the settlement,
Mayor John Peyton still
defends the rally.
"I have no regrets - it was
time well spent and money
well spent," Peyton told The
Florida Times-Union on
Tuesday.
However, the city will do a
better job of consulting
municipal attorneys "to make
sure we don't violate the
separation of church and
state," Peyton said.
Cindy Laquidara, chief
deputy general counsel, said
the settlement is not an
admission the city violated
the Constitution by financing
the event. It simply ends a
potentially costly federal
lawsuit.
But Edward Kagin,
American Atheists' lead
attorney, called the
settlement a victory for the
organization and for all
people concerned about the
erosion of church-state
separation.
About 6,000 people
attended the rally that
included Christian, Jewish
and Muslim leaders.


TALLAHASSEE - Gov.
Charlie Crist appointed
former state House Speaker
Allan Bense on Wednesday to
the board of directors of
Enterprise Florida, the state's
public-private economic
development agency.
Bense, a Panama City
Republican who left office in
November due to the state's
eight-year term limit,
endorsed Crist's bid for the
GOP gubernatorial
nomination and then
supported him in the general
election last year.
Crist cleared the way for
Bense's appointment, which
is subject to Senate
confirmation, by removing
him from Florida State
University's Board of
Trustees on Tuesday.
Then-Gov. Jeb Bush had
appointed Bense, 55, to the
trustee position two months
before Crist's inauguration.

Man convicted of
using stolen data
FORT LAUDERDALE - A
jury convicted a man
Wednesday for his
involvement in the theft of
personal and medical
information of more than
1,100 patients at a suburban
hospital, authorities said.
Fernando Ferrer Jr., 29, of
Naples, was found guilty of
one count of conspiring to
defraud the United States,
one count of computer fraud,
one count of wrongful
disclosure of individually
identifiable health
information, and five counts
of aggravated identity theft,
the U.S. Attorney's Office
said in a statement.
Isis Machado, 23, of Miami
Lakes, worked as a front desk
coordinator at Cleveland
Clinic in Weston from May
2005 to June 2006. She
downloaded patient files and
then sold them to Ferrer,
who then made false


Medicare claims as owner of
Advanced Medical Claims
Inc. in Naples, the indictment
said.
Ferrer used the
information to bill medical'
providers in Miami for
services that were not
rendered, resulting in
$7 million fraudulently billed
to Medicare, federal
investigators said.
Machado entered a guilty
plea Jan. 12 on one count of
conspiracy to commit :;
computer fraud, identify theft
and wrongful disclosure of
individual health information.
Machado then testified
against Ferrer.
Ferrer faces a maximum
penalty of 30 years in prison.
Machado faces a maximum
penalty of five years in prison,
a $250,000 fine and could be
ordered to pay restitution,
according to authorities.

Committee to pass
anti-bullying bill
TALLAHASSEE- A
mother whose son committed
suicide after repeated
taunting and the father of
another boy who nearly died
when a schoolmate beat him
urged Florida lawmakers
Wednesday to pass
anti-bullying legislation.
The Senate's Education
Prekindergarten-12
Committee voted 6-1 to
approve the bill (SB 114)
after hearing their testimony.
If enacted, the new law
would be called the "Jeffery
Johnston Stand Up for All
Students Act" in honor of
Debbie Johnston's 15-year-old
son. The Cape Coral teen
hung himself in 2005 after
repeated harassment. He was
called gay and a stalker at
school and over the Internet,
but never suffered any
physical harm.
Johnston told the
committee the bill is model
legislation and recognizes
that bullies need help and
treatment, too.

LAKE CITY REPORTER LOCAL & STATE, THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 2007


TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter
Evelyn Koch, a Lake City Community College Financial Aid
Specialist (center), talks to Fort White High School seniors about
college financial aid during the school's annual financial aid
workshop.

FWHS seniors learn about

financial aid opportunities


By TONY BRITT
tbritt@lakecityreporter.com

FORT WHITE - Most
high school students who plan
to attend college have some
idea of where they'll continue
with their post high school
studies. However, local finan-
cial aid directors say a com-
mon problem for many of
those students is finding finan-
cial aid to fund their college
dreams.
Wednesday, a team of Lake
City Community College
financial aid advisors, spoke to
more than 60 Fort White High
School students, giving them
details about available funding
for college as part of a school-
sponsored financial aid work-
shop.
Reatha Page, a Fort White
High School Career
Counselor, said the school has
held the financial aid work-
shop since it opened, but
Wednesday's session was the
first time she has coordinated
the event
"We have this event to let
the students know about the
financial' aid opportunities
available to them," she said.
"Many students don't know
about the many financial aid
opportunities."
During the session, which
started at 9 a.m. and lasted
nearly an hour, students were
giyen pamphlets containing
information about a variety f,
grants as well as tips on how
to secure the funding with
minimal problems.


"All the effort you have to
put in for this is to fill out the
paperwork," said Carolyn J.
Tarkington, a Lake City
Community College and
North Central Florida
Educational Talent Search
counselor, as she addressed
the students.
Lake City Community
College financial aid specialist
Evelyn Koch told students
about traps and other prob-
lems they may encounter
while applying for college and
emphasized the importance of
getting the paperwork to the
officials as soon as possible.
As the students and advi-'
sors discussed the difference
between federal, state, and
local scholarship and grant
opportunities, Yosefua Norris,
a Lake City Community
College recruiter, emphasized
the importance of reading all
the documents and' asking
questions when necessary.
Page said she was thankful
to the Lake City Community
College representatives for
coming to the school and
addressing the students
because the workshop's
information will benefit
them.
"Many of the seniors are
currently applying for col-
leges, universities and trade
schools and they are seeking
financial aid," she said. '"This
workshop is.. beneficial
, ,becus sqsp, e ,students are
not aware of the many differ-
ent types of financial oppor-
tunities available to them."


School board approves $2.2 million in

additions to Lake City Middle School


By TONY BRITT
tbritt@lakecityreporter.com

Lake City Middle School
will soon have a facelift as
part of $2.2 million worth of
construction projects slated
to begin in as soon as two
weeks.
The Columbia school
board, during its Tuesday
meeting, unanimously voted
in favor of going with the low,
bidder for the construction
projects that will result in a
larger dining area and a 10-
classroom addition at the'
school.
Little and Williams Inc.; a-
Lake City-based construction"
firm, won the bid for the proj-
ect and likely will begin work
soon, after the contract docu-
ments are executed.. The
company currently is in
charge of the new cafeteria
and stage construction work
taking place at Melrose Park
Elementary School.


Mike Millikin, Columbia
School 'District assistant
superintendent of administra-
tion, said the construction
was bid as two projects, with
an option that the same con-
struction firm could bid to do
both projects.
-The 10-classroom addition
and cafeteria expansion are
part of the school district's
Building Better Schools Plan.
"We're using local .2-mil
property tax dollars to fund
the Lake City Middle school
projects," Millikin said, not-
ing the money will not come
from the district's $25 million
Certificate of Participation
loan. '"The COP pending bond
issue will be used primarily
for the new elementary
school, the new stand-alone
cafeteria at Columbia High
School and the first phase of
the middle school addition at
Fort White High School."
- The 10-classroom addition
will be a new, detached wing


on the north side of the Lake
City Middle School campus,
adjacent to an existing wing.
Mike Null, the school dis-
trict director of purchasing,
said the tbtal cost for both
projects is $2,278,400.
'The dining hall will be an
addition to the existing cafe-
teria in the amount of 2,000
square feet," Null said. "The
classroom building, which is
a free-standing, 10,840
square-foot building,
includes a total of 10 class-
rooms, one of which is a com-
puter lab."
The construction compa-
ny's contract lists 240 days
for substantial completion on
the dining hall work and 344
days on the 10-classroom
addition.
School district officials
hope that both projects will
be completed around
Christmas.
In other business, the
school board:


* Heard a presentation
from Angela McQueen, who
detailed a Response To
Intervention program,
designed to help children
with learning disabilities;
* Accepted a $135 dona-
tion from John Pearce and
the American Legion to pur-
chase 25 American Flags for
classrooms;
* Received DVDs from
James Montgomery and
Mike McKee, detailing the
Ichetucknee River and its
trace. Each school will
receive a copy of the DVD;
and
* Recognized Donna

Local woman remains in serious condition


By TROY ROBERTS
troberts@lakecityreporter.com

An 86-year-old Lake City
resident remained in serious
condition Wednesday at
Shands at the University of
Florida in Gainesville as the
result of a Saturday morning
wreck.
Mildred R. Fite, 86, of Lake
City, was injured in the crash
and has remained in the
Intensive Care Unit at the hos-
pital since the wreck, said,


Debby Freeman, a close friend
of Fite's.
Fite is a long-time communi-
ty activist in Lake City, lending
herself to many organizations
in the county.
"I talked with her nephew
last night," Freeman said. "She
has had two surgeries since
Saturday on her leg, which we
believe is possibly broke in
two places."
Freeman said she was told
that Fite responded well to
those surgeries, but doctors


are weighing the decision
about another operation.
"Another surgery they're
debating very hard," she said.
"She has damage to vertebrae
in her neck which is pressing
on her spinal column. She is in
ICU and very heavily sedated."
Freeman said doctors are
weighing the option of surgery
because of Fite's age and
because there is an even
chance that Fite will heal on
her own as opposed to the risk
of surgery.


Fite's wreck occurred at
approximately 10:40 a.m.
Saturday when she was leav-
ing the driveway of the Haven
Hospice of the Suwannee
Valley Care Center. According
to the Florida Highway Patrol,
Fite exited the driveway and
failed to yield to an oncoming
vehicle which resulted in the
collision.
The driver of the other vehi-
cle, Ragan Terri Gravatt, 27, of
Lake City, was not injured in
the crash.

Controversy

stirs question

of county's

efficiency in

key matters

ames Garretson and his Jungle
Paradise Zoo has been at the
epicenter of controversy since
one of his neighbors got mad at
him last week and complained
with several factually incorrect
statements. They said his nine tigers
stunk, were underfed and that cages
and fences surrounding his animal
sanctuary were loose and unsafe.
We investigated and none of these
accusations were true. Garretson runs
a good establishment that both the
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture are familiar with. Both
agencies say he is in compliance with
state and federal law.
What is strange in this case, however,
is that Columbia County officials issued
Garretson a citation on Aug. 6, 2006,
that he was operating outside the
realm of his property's land-use
designation. He was urged to take the
appropriate steps to have this changed.
He began this process on Aug. 10.
Nothing additionally was said by the
county until Wednesday when he was
served a summons to appear at a
hearing in February.
Why was the county not on top of this
situation sooner?
The issue now is not Garretson,
although it appears the county may be
able to shut down his tiger sanctuary on
the technicality of property ownership.
The issue is the questionable manner in
which the county handled the situation.
Nearby residents are lucky that
Garretson takes pridein'his tiger
sanctuary and appears to have the
"knowledge and desire to co-exist safely
with the big cats. He has the proper
cages and a three-perimeter fence
system that allows for the best safety.
Exotic animal collections are a public
safety concern and the county needs to
move quickly to examine these. If they
are professionally maintained, fine. But,
what if the next tiger handler is keeping
an overgrown cub in a dog pen? What if
similar animals aren't fed properly or
securely penned?
Five months is too long of a time for
the county to take to resolve something
this important, even if this squabble
centers around a land-use violation. It
also makes us wonder if Garretson's
story had not gained the attention it did
this week in the newspaper, would the
county have been ready to serve him
with a summons on Wednesday?
The county has an obligation to all of
its residents to move quickly and in a
more efficient manner.

COMMENTARY


Addressing Social Security


Now that House
Democrats have
given us 100
hours of
razzmatazz - the
speedy, unreflective passage
of six bills that the Senate will
mercifully either kill or amend
- maybe they will do
something responsible,
something desperately
needed, something crucial for
the country. Maybe they will
address the restructuring of
Social Security.
More than likely, they
won't.
It's easy enough to slap
energy and drug companies
around because, well, who
likes them, anyway, and how
many voters get it that the
consequence of enacting this
vindictive legislation in the
years ahead would be boosted
oil prices and fewer life-saving
drugs? The other initiatives
were likewise the stuff
voter-approval dreams are
made of. But reworking Social
Security in substantive fashion
is not.
To fix this popular program,
you have to take some political
risks. For decades now the
demagogic message largely
from Democrats has been that
the program is fine as it is and
that any adjustments will
imperil those currently
receiving benefits. Tiptoe
toward the truth and you may
get severely punished, as
President Bush found out when
he campaigned for individual
retirement accounts and other
changes. Ambushed by
misinformation, fear-mongering
and ideological idiocy, he
was forced to retreat while
opponents took deep bows.
But truth is a stubborn
thing, and so it was the other
day that Ben Bernanke
echoed warnings of the
Federal Reserve chairman
who preceded him. He said, as
Alan Greenspan had, that the
retirement of the long-living,


OTHER


This year's official nadir is behind us


This past Monday
is the most
depressing,
miserable day
of the year,
according to a British
psychologist, thanks to a
dismal convergence of unpaid
holiday bills, lapsed New Year's
resolutions, the now dissipated
glow of Christmas and bad
weather-induced lethargy.
And maybe there's
something to that 24-hour
perfect storm of moodiness.

else, why not designate the

baby boom generation would
cause a flood of entitlement
spending if nothing were done
to address Social Security,
Medicare and Medicaid, and
that the consequences would
be ugly.
He repeated the story that
should be old to our ears by
now. People over 65 are 12
percent of the population
today, and for each person in
this age group, there are five
younger adults whose taxes
can help pay for benefits.
Jump ahead to 2030, and
people over 65 will be 19
percent of the population.
There will be three younger
adults to pay the taxes for
their benefits. Hang onto
current law, and this could
mean a deficit in 2030 four
times the percentage of gross
domestic product of what it is
now, which means less money
for capital formation, less
growth of real incomes and
lower living standards.
In short, it could mean
economic misery.
After sharing his dismal
report with the Senate's
budget committee, Bernanke
was asked how soon we*
should act. Ten years ago, he
responded, and that's less a
joke than another piece of
truth that should make mem-
bers of Congress hide their
heads in shame: Enact
changes while the baby
boomers are still contributing
instead of receiving - well in
advance of the deluge - and
you won't have to do anything
drastic. Wait until the
floodwaters are swirling about


dedicated to moping and
self-pity, comforted only by
the thought that - if Dr. Cliff
Arnall of Cardiff University is
right - things have gotten as
bad they're going to get for
the year and will begin taking
a turn for the better on Tuesday.
The drawback to that
melancholy observance is that
the large army of shrinks, diet
gurus, fitness nuts and TV
morning show guests - among
them Dr. Arnall himself-
dedicated to bucking people up
will ruin Blue Monday for the
rest of us. He says we can snap
ourselves out of our funk by
resolving to change our


behavior "such as giving up
smoking, eating better,
exercising more and getting that
new job." Oh thanks, doctor. We
would have never thought of
any of that on our own.
The Evening Standard,
where this ran, chimed in
with a brightener of its own
saying how people can "make
themselves happier by
clearing their debts, paying
off their mortgage and
achieving financial security."
We'll get right on that one
and check back with you next
Blue Monday.

us, and, as Bernanke said,
you may have to resort to
draconian measures.
Sadly, Democrats are
talking as if they will put the
issue off until after the
elections of 2008. Social
Security is the place to start
because it is easier to address
than Medicare, and a way to
get the ball-rolling. The
method of getting past the
political risks is for both
parties to act jointly so that
neither one gets unduly
bashed on this particular issue
on Election Day. Come hither,
Bush has said - let's talk.
He says he's agreeable to
considering any plausible
plan, but the Democrats are
saying lately that they don't
believe him and just might
wait until they get one of their
own in the White House.
They say they fear Bush
won't consider raising payroll
taxes for the wealthiest among
us, or won't give up on his
desire for personal retirement
accounts. This is disingenuous.
All they have to do is engage
with the president and find out
What's to lose, other than
possibly letting Bush go down
in history as the Republican
president who rescued Social
Security, not exactly a concern
that measures up against the
concern of economic misery
down the road.
My modest proposal is that
the Democrats in the House
and the Democrats in the
Senate get together with
congressional Republicans to
give us not another 100 hours
of showmanship, but hundreds
of hours of seriousness during
which they cooperate on Social
Security reform and quit
pretending there's no huge
financing problem out there or
that add-on personal accounts
would do anything but worsen
our fiscal mess. Let the truth
have its day.

MARKET REPORT


EBay's 4Q profits
increase 24 percent
SAN FRANCISCO - EBay
Inc. reported Wednesday that
fourth-quarter profit increased
24 percent from the same
period last year, trouncing Wall
Street estimates and prompting
executives to raise estimates
for the current quarter.
Thanks to scorching holiday
sales - particularly in eBay's
traditional strongholds of the
United States, United Kingdom
and Germany - the San
Jose-based online auction
company earned $349 million,
or 25 cents per share, for the-
three months ended Dec. 31, It
earned $279 million, or 20
cents per share in the year-ago
period.
EBay shares increased
$1.38, or nearly 5 percent, to
close Wednesday at $30 on the
Nasdaq Stock Market before
the earnings report was
released. It jumped to $33.05,
up an additional 10.2 percent,
in after-market trading.


New exec could

get $8.9 million
ATLANTA - The Home
Depot Inc.'s new chief
executive could earn as much
as $8.9 million in total
compensation this year, the
world's largest home
improvement store chain said
in a regulatory filing
Wednesday.
Frank Blake's compensation
is smaller than the roughly
$25.7 million a year on average
that former Chief Executive
Bob Nardelli was earning
excluding stock options.
Nardelli resigned earlier this
month after six years at the
helm of the Atlanta-based
company amid a furor over his
hefty pay and Home Depot's
lagging stock price. He was
replaced by Blake, who was
Home Depot's vice chairman.
Nardelli left with a severance
package worth about
$210 million.

Minimum wage hike slowed as


Senate and House at loggerheads


By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press

WASHINGTON-The min-
imum wage increase that was
supposed to zip through
Congress veered onto a colli-
sion course Wednesday as law-
makers argued over business
tax breaks that would be
attached to ensure Republican
support.
Democratic leaders in the
House began laying ground-
work to blame the Republicans
for any impasse. Senate
Democrats, however, cau-
tioned their House colleagues
not to jeopardize legislation
they'd promised to approve if
they gained control of
Congress.
House Democrats demand-
ed a clean bill from the Senate
- no tax attachment - setting
up a confrontation that could
delay final congressional pas-


sage of the $2.10 an hour
increase.
The Senate did vote 54-43 to
advance a House-passed meas-
ure that would lift the pay floor
without any accompanying tax
cut. However, that was well'
short of the 60 votes needed to
keep that version moving.
The vote was a signal to the
House that without the tax
breaks a minimum wage bill
appeared doomed in the
Senate. And the Senate
promptly moved to a broader
bill, backed by its Democratic
leaders, that would raise the
minimum wage to $7.25 an


hour over 26 months and pro-
vide $8.3 billion in tax benefits
to businesses over 10 years.
In the House, Democrats
threatened to stifle that effort
by enforcing constitutional
precedents that require all tax
bills to originate in the House.
They blamed Republicans for
the brewing impasse.
"Democrats are committed
to helping small businesses,
but we should not delay a min-
imum wage increase another
day in order to negotiate a tax
package," said Brendan Daly, a
spokesman for House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi.

LAKE CITY REPORTER LOCAL & NATION THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 2007


SENATE: Goes against Bush's Iraq policy


Continued From Page 1A
their own past unwillingness to
change the course of a war that
has claimed the lives of more
than 3,000 U.S. troops.
"There is no strategy. This is a
pingpong game with American
lives," said Republican Sen.
Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.
'This Congress was never
meant to be a rubber stamp,"
added Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-
Calif., "Read the Constitution.
The Congress has the power
to declare war. And on multiple
occasions, we used our power
to end conflicts."
Hagel was the only one of 10
committee Republicans to sup-
port the nonbinding measure.
Several of the panel's 11
Democrats said they favored
stronger legislation to register
their opposition to the war.
In the wake of midterm elec-
tion losses, Bush announced
two weeks that he would order
an additional 21,500 troops
into the war zone. In Tuesday
night's State of the Union
address, he implored skeptical


lawmakers to give the strategy
a chance.
Bush got his answer in less
than 24 hours, the timing dic-
tated by Democrats, and Sen.
Joseph Biden. D-Del., the
panel's chairman, said tougher
measures were likely to follow.
"Unless the president
demonstrates very quickly
that he is unlikely to continue
down the road he's on, this will
be only the first step. ... I will
be introducing ... constitution-
ally legitimate, binding pieces
of legislation. We will bring
them up," he said.
Taken together, the commit-
tee's vote and Cheney's
response suggested the
Democrats and the White
House were on a collision"
course - lawmakers drafting
ever-stronger measures to
change policy in Iraq, and the
president exercising his pre-
rogatives as commander in
chief - and his veto pen.
"We are moving forward,"
Cheney said in an interview


with CNN in which he was
asked about the troop buildup.
'The Congress has control
over the purse strings. They
have the right, obviously, if
they want, to cut off funding.
But in terms of this effort,
the president has made his
decision."
The vice president added:
"We've consulted extensively
with them. We'll continue to
consult with the Congress. But
the fact of the matter is, we
need to get the job done."
Biden, who has announced
he intends to run for president
in 2008, said the legislation is
"not an attempt to embarrass
the president. ... It's an attempt
to save the president from mak-
ing a significant mistake with
regard to our policy in Iraq."
Democrats intend to bring
the measure to the Senate
floor for a vote next week, and
Biden said he is willing, in the
interim, to make changes in
the hopes of gaining additional
Republican support.


VEHICLE: Safety taught to CHS students


Continued From Page 1A
car accidents.
Burroughs said there are a
lot of possible causes for this
statistic, including distracted
driving, prescription medica-
tion and alcohol.
He also noted that a per-
son's tendencies before they
begin driving will likely mirror
their driving behavior.
'The way you live right now
is the way you're going to
drive," he said. He added that
if a -person acts aggressively
toward other people, they may
tend to drive .,ggressivel.. f 1:
person is respectful and cour-
teous of others, Burroughs
said that will also be visible in
their driving behavior.
"You're going to carry some
of that attitude with you when
you drive," he said.
In addition to telling the stu-
dents about several horrifying


wrecks he had responded to,
Burroughs also let two stu-
dents experience the effects of
alcohol impairment using the
agency's Fatal Vision Goggles.
"Fatal Vision Goggles are
used as a visual demonstration
to show the effects that alco-
hol has on a person's depth
perception, reaction time and
vision when they are operating
a motor vehicle," Burroughs
said. "Students are amazed
when they watch other stu-
dents blunder and stumble
,, ien attempting to make sim-
ple physical movements."
Burroughs said that the
Fatal Vision Goggles are one
of the most effective visual
aids he uses when explaining
the dangers of impaired driv-
ing. One set of the goggles
used are gauged at a .06 blood
alcohol concentration While


the other set is gauged
between .17 and .20 blood alco-
hol concentration.
"An impaired driver at the
higher level knows he is
impaired and his driving pattern
for the most part is going to be
obvious to other motorists,"
Burroughs said. 'This driver is
not going to take the chances he
normally would."
On the other hand, an
impaired driver at the lower
level experiences a little intox-
ication and notices a little
impairment, but doesn't think
they are impaired and contin-
ue to operate the same way
they would if they normally
would, he said.
'This driver is potentially
more dangerous, because he
doesn't think he is impaired
and will take more chances,"
Biurrouighs said. ,


DOWNTOWN: Several projects discussed


Continued From Page 1A
installed in the park in 2005.
"We have a commitment of
approval," Kraus said.
A public shower will be
installed next to the facility
and will be mounted on a
surplus ornamental pole simi-
lar to the light fixture poles
currently in place in the park,
Kraus said.
Contractors from O'Neal
Roofing of Lake City donated
their labor to the project. The
city purchased the materials to
construct the restroom facility.
Larry Lee is coordinating the
project for the city. The restroom
will not be operational in time for
the Olustee Battle Festival and
Re-enactment on Feb. 16-18, but
is expected to be ready for the
return of the park's Finally
Friday event on Feb. 23.
Downtown Action
Corporation Chairman Jeff
Bertram told the group the
expectations for this year's
Finally Friday events were
high. He said the year wrapped


last fall with record attendance
at the events. The first event
this year will be a western
theme with a movie and coun-
try music. The DAC will part-
ner on this event with Columbia
County Resources to help raise
funds and awareness for breast
cancer research.
"We had thousands down-
town for the last one," Bertram
said. "We're hoping for a big
kickoff."
Jack Berry, who also is a
member of the Lake Shore
Hospital Authority board of
directors, updated the commit-
tee on that group's efforts to
buy property in the downtown
area and expand its medical
campus. Berry said the
authority recently purchased
an old theater facing
Washington Street.
"We own the whole block,"
Berry said. "We'll be taking
down more houses real soon."
Berry also suggested the
authority board and the city


begin discussions about the
possibility of a parking garage
somewhere in the downtown
area that would accommodate
future traffic needs.
Sandra Caslow updated the
group on the Downtown Facade
Grant Program and said approx-
imately $141,521.22 had been
spent toward improvements and
$121,379.22 was eligible for 75
percent reimbursement
"I'm very impressed with
how the facade grant has
worked," said City
Councilman and committee
member George Ward.
Harvey Campbell men-
tioned his intention to revisit
the concept of placing a board-
walk, gazebo and also a fishing
pier on Lake DeSoto down-
town. He said he was interest-
ed in obtaining assistance
from the Lake Shore Hospital
Authority and possibly other
businesses in town to help
with some of the costs associ-
ated with the projects.


HEARING: Set for special land exception


Continued From Page 1A
"It depends on the board and
whether they give him any
more time to get everything
straightened out," he said. "If
he cannot, they will order him
to cease operation and will give
him so many days to resolve
everything on his own."
County Manager Dale
Williams said code enforcement
was asked to give Garretson a
notice to appear at the next
,board meeting because an issue
like this could drag on.
"Obviously, if he was written
up in August, I think more
than enough time has been
given to give him his due
process," Williams said.
According to Columbia


"We're going to
have the public
support, that's for
sure."
- James Garretson,
Jungle Paradise Zoo operator
County's Land Development
Regulations, a special excep-
tion permit is required if a per-
son is going to house exotic
animals on a piece of property
in an agricultural district.
Garretson said he doesn't
plan on "going anywhere."
'We're going to go to a hear-
ing and go through the proce-


dure," he said. "We're going to
have the public support, that's
for sure. It's just a couple of
troublemakers and it's all
going to blow over."
Garretson has been in the
crosshairs since several com-
plaints were lodged against his
housing of nine tigers at his
facility. A neighbor complained
to authorities. The complaints
range from unfed animals,
child safety and improper cer-
tification to house the animals.
Inspection by the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission hasn't turned up
any violations.
Garretson has operated the
facility for more than two years.


LETTERS: Sent out to county landowners


Continued From Page 1A
said. "Some people have prop-
erty here and they don't know
they live in a potential flood
zone. Some of the mapped
flood zones are new."
During a December County
Commission meeting, county
manager Dale Williams said
it was important for residents
to understand that the work
was done by and for federal
officials.
Property owners had a 90-day
appeal period to challenge the
new map designations and the
appeals will be made through


FEMA representatives.
"The sooner the residents
appeal these designations the
better, because they have until
March 15 to appeal it,"
McCardle said.
Both McCardle and Croft
said the new maps can have a
significant impact on the county.
Croft said the designations
could also affect some areas
where homes are built because
the Environmental Protection
Agency can prohibit a septic
tank permit from being issued
to a home which maybe con-


structed in a flood zone.
Many residents who've
received the letters have
already spoken to McCardle
and Croft, as advised in the let-
ter, during 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. con-
ference times.
Croft said he spoke to 10 peo-
ple Wednesday and McCardle
said he's spoken to at least six
people. The deadline for the
meetings is March 15.
Croft said appeals/protests
have to be documented
through a survey by a certified,
professional engineer.

LUNCHEON: Held at Tuckers Fine Dining

medicine that helped her pre-
mature twins breathe when
they were born in 1999.
"Prematurity - it can hap-
pen to any of us," Jones said.
Last year's Suwannee Valley
WalkAmerica raised more
than $135,000 for the March of
Dimes. This year, honorary
WalkAmerica chairs Columbia
County Sheriff Bill Gootee and
his wife, Bonnie, challenged
the community to raise
$150,000 for the walk.
Sheriff Gootee pledged
$1,000 from his agency to start
the campaign.
"Each and every one of you
in here are leaders in our com-
munity and you will set the
example," he said.
As the March of Dimes'
biggest fundraiser,
WalkAmerica has raised more
than $1.7 billion since its
inception in 1970. This year's
five-mile walk is scheduled to
begin in Olustee Park at about
8:30 a.m. on April 14.
Sherylle Harrison attended
Wednesday's luncheon and
said she participates in
WalkAmerica because one of
her former co-workers has a
premature son who is involved
with the March of Dimes.
'To have a little 6-year-old tell
you he's doing it for the babies
- that makes you really want to
step up," Harrison said.
Lynda Knight, executive


director of the March of Dimes
of North Central Florida, said
organizations that participate in
WalkAmerica should use their
influence to get other leaders
involved because prematurity
can affect anyone. One in eight


babies in the United States is
born prematurely, making pre-
mature birth the No. 1 killer of
newborns.
"One in eight babies is
going to touch all of us eventu-
ally," Knight said.

BRIEFS

Israeli president
to step aside
JERUSALEM - Israeli
President Moshe Katsav, facing
charges of rape and abuse of
power,
asked
parliament
Wednesday
to
temporarily
remove him
from office
in an effort Katsav
to blunt
growing calls for his
resignation, including one from
the prime minister.
At a stormy, emotional news
conference at his official
residence, Katsav blamed
Israeli media for his plight,
using terms like "witch hunt,"
"McCarthyism" and
"persecution." He shouted at a
local TV reporter, pounding on
the podium and gesturing
angrily during a rambling
diatribe that lasted nearly
an hour.
The president has been
under intense pressure to quit
since Attorney-General Meni
Mazuz notified him Tuesday
that he planned to indict him
after a monthslong investigation
into allegations by four women
who worked for him. The
charges include rape, abuse of
power and sexual assault.
On Wednesday, Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert, who is
under criminal investigation in
an unrelated case, also called
for Katsav's resignation.

Iran receives
Russian missiles
TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian.
officials said Wednesday that
they have taken delivery of
advanced Russian air defense
missile systems - weapons
intended, according to one
Russian news agency, to
defend Tehran's major nuclear
facilities.
Announcement of the
delivery of the Tor-M1 mobile
missile launchers came as Iran
launched three days of military
maneuvers, its first since the
U.N. Security Council approved
sanctions against Iran on Dec.
23.'
'We have had constructive
defense transactions with
Russia and we purchased Tor
M-1 missiles that were recently
delivered to us," the official
Web site of Iranian state
television quoted Minister of
Defense Mostafa Mohammad
Najjar as saying.

Ethiopians begin
Somalian withdraw
NAIROBI, Kenya - With
Ethiopian troops leaving and
foreign peacekeepers not yet
on the ground, Somalia's acting
government, warlords, Islamic
leaders and clan elders will
determine if the 14th attempt to
re-establish central authority
succeeds, or if the country
slides back into chaos.
So far, it doesn't look good.
That is a concern for the United
States and other governments
whose officials are working to
keep Islamic extremists from
gaining a haven in the Horn of
Africa nation.
After Ethiopian forces
defeated Islamic militants
threatening to take over
Somalia, European, U.S. and
U.N. officials urged interim
President Abdullahi Yusuf to
build bridges with opponents.
Diplomats told him international
support depended on broad
reconciliation talks.

Appetites stripping
Asian.reefs bare
KOTA KINABALU, Malaysia
- Amid banks of bubbling
aquariums, Hong Kong resident
Kerry To sat back and admired
his plate-size steamed grouper
plucked from one of the tanks
in this Malaysian restaurant
and cooked live.
"It is very special," said the
45-year-old To, who flew to the
northwest coast of Borneo
Island for a holiday featuring a
chance to sample the rare


delicacy. 'These fish are so big
and taste so good. I'll be telling
my friends."
What he and other diners
don't realize is that their
appetite for live reef fish - a
status symbol for many new
rich Chinese - has caused the
populations of these predators
to plummet around Asia as
fishermen increasingly resort to
cyanide and dynamite to bring
in the valuable catch. Entire
reef ecosystems, already
endangeredby pollution and
global warning, are at risk.

Abducted mother, children f uad

safe at motel; father arrested


By TOM COYNE
Associated Press
ELKHART, Ind. - A tip
from a pizza man and a secret
message in a phone call helped
lead to the arrest of a man
accused of abducting his
ex-girlfriend and their four
children after shooting a man.
The clues came during a
three-day search for the family
that ended with their dramatic
but peaceful rescue at the
motel where they were staying
with the suspect, Jerry D.
White.
Someone wired money to
White after the abduction and
authorities are trying to deter-
mine who that was, Detective
Sgt. Bill Wargo said at a news
conference Wednesday. Police
would not say how much
money was involved.
Although police had extend-
ed their search for the family to
Chicago and said they had got-
ten tips from throughout the
Midwest, they said Wednesday
they had believed since the
night of the abduction
Saturday that the victims .were
still in the area. The motel was
just 4 miles from the family's
home.
White faces charges of
attempted murder and several
counts of confinement, and
prosecutors will review

School recruiters
suspended
COLUMBIA, S.C. - The
South Carolina National Guard
suspended two high school
recruiters in the case of a
cheerleading coach charged with
giving students beer and the
principal accused of trying to
cover it up.
Guard spokesman Tripp Hutto
said the soldiers have not been
charged but were placed on
leave pending the investigation.
He would not give further details,
including the soldiers' names or
genders.
Ware Shoals High School
cheerleading coach Jill Moore,
28, resigned last week after she
was charged with transfer of
alcohol to an underage person
and contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.
On Monday, principal Jane
Blackwell, 59, was charged with
hindering the Greenwood County
sheriff's investigation. Deputies
have said Blackwell told the
cheerleaders not to speak to
anyone about the case.

11 coaches from .
across the country
have applied.
By CHRIS WHITE
cwhite@lakecityreporter.com
Only a week remains in the
search for a new Fort White
head football coach, and 11
applicants from six different
states have added their names
into the pool.
Coaches from Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, /South
Carolina, New Jersey and


Washington have filled out
applications with the school,
including Fort
White assistant
head coach and
defensive
coordinator
D em e t r ic
Jackson. The
combined
experience will make the
hiring decision difficult, Fort
White High principal Keith
Hatcher said.
"Several of them have head
coaching experience, and the
ones who don't have a


lot of ?assistant coaching
experiencee" he said. 'They've
all had a lot
of success
with their
programs."
The applica-
tion process
closes on
Jan. 31, and a
committee of several Fort
White High staff members
and a few football booster club
members will help Hatcher
narrow the field down to five
candidates. Those five will be
notified once the window for


applications has been closed,
and in-person interviews will
be conducted on Feb. 2.
The team was left with a hole
to fill earlier this month when
head coach Mike Hunter
resigned after leading the team
through its first seven seasons,
citing the need to spend more
time with his family.
Since, Fort White has
advertised the position on its
Web site and the Florida High
School Athletic Association
site, which Hatcher said he
credits with giving the job the
most exposure.


Now the team has three full
months before spring
practices begin to acclimate
the team to a new head coach,
and Hatcher said the squad is
ready to move on.
"I've talked to some
, community members and a lot
of the players, both ones
graduating and the ones who
will be playing here the next
few years, and they're all real
pleased with the progress," he
said. "They're just ready to
move forward, and the kids
are looking forward to a new
era."

"Garcia knows how to pitch,
what I call pitchability," Clark


said. "He has an above
average change-up, but needs
some work on his slider. He
was . as high as 92-93 in
Arizona, but hit 86-89 this
fall."
Brandon Davis from Union
County High, by way of
Florida Tech, is the No. 3
starter, though he has been
out of competition for a year.
"Davis came to a tryout in
May and we signed him to a
scholarship," Clark said. "He

championship


3-1 victory over
Leesburg puts CHS
in state playoffs.
By CHRIS WHITE
cwhite@lakecityreporter.com
Leesburg dampened the
Tigers' mood Wednesday by
taking a 1-0 lead in the first two
minutes of the game, but the
Columbia High boys
varsity soccer team scored a
pair of its own a few minutes
later and tacked on a third in
the final minute to advance to
the District 4-5A championship
game and guarantee a state
playoff berth.
Trailing 1-0, Columbia's
Stephen Jackson scored with
an assist from Alan Watson in
the 15th minute and Michael
Jordan gave the Tigers the
lead with an assist from Nic
Nyssen one minute later.
"It was very uplifting to
score those goals so close,"
Columbia head coach Trevor


Tyler said. "That gave us the
lead and gave us the boost we
needed."
Charles Kamback scored in
the final minute with an assist
from Nyssen to cushion the
Tigers' 3-1 victory.
Despite the momentum-
swinging goals, Tyler said
defense was key in the win. J.
Ben Parker and David Wester
held Leesburg to the outside,
forcing poor shots. Still, Tyler
said, goalkeeper Daniel Walsh
had the best game of his career.
Walsh finished with 24
saves, including several
one-one-one situations.
"It was the best game he's
every played," Tyler said. "He
made some real college-level
saves."
The Tigers now play the
winner of Wednesday's
Eastside/Forest (Ocala) game
on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at
Forest. Regardless of the out-
come, the Tigers have earned
a seed in the state playoffs,
which begin Feb. 1.

is the only one we have signed
directly from tryouts. He hit 92
in the fall and had an above
average curve ball."
Clark said he uses four
starters early in the season,
then goes with three for
conference play with No. 4
playing a big role in the
bullpen.
Matt Small, from
Massachusetts, and Patrick
Clysdale, from Michigan, are
in the mix for the fourth spot.
"Small was drafted in the
14th round by Atlanta - our
highest draft pick," Clark said.
"He can go 92 and has a nasty
curve ball. He has a ton of
ability, but gets upset and can
be his own worst enemy. He is
that pitcher who could really
make a big difference with
your club if he turns the
corner. He would make a good
closer - he has that kind of
stuff-- and it would be a good
role for him because he is
used to playing every day.
"Clysdale is huge (6-6, 215)
and he looks huge out there.
He threw a lot of strikes in high
school. He is topping out at 87
with a good slider. He could
start or pitch middle relief."
Clark will experiment with
the closer role and Gary Kott,
who went to Middleburg High,
will get a look.
"Kott is not overpowering,
but he throws almost
sidearm," Clark said. "If he
keeps the ball down, he looks
different enough to try in that
role."
Returnees Marquise
Zachary and Mario Williams
could get some innings.
Williams actually won a game
last year and struck out 14 in
11 innings, but with eight
walks. Zachary starts in the
outfield and the Clark said he
is a possible closer, but all the
signs - physically and
mentally - would have to be
right.
Jesus Cebollero, a
48th-round pick of the
Rockies, Tommy Ulmer
(Georgia) and Chris Nardini
(New York) round out the
staff.
"Ulmer came on strong in
the fall," Clark said. "He is
another big kid (6-4, 215) and
he could jump into the rotation
if he continues to improve.

ARIES (March 21-April
19): A lesson can be learned
today that will help you in the
future. You can make a change
to your regular routine that will
help you become more effi-
cient. If someone you used to
know is still on your mind, con-
tact this person. ***
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Rushing around will lead
to mistakes, misunderstand-
ings and misfortunes. Look at
the big picture before you
decide to take something or
someone on. An emotional
problem is likely to affect your
work. ***
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): Someone may try to pull
a fast one on you. Recognize
what everyone around you is
doing but don't let it slow you
down. An opportunity to part-
ner with someone who will be
beneficial to your cause is like-
ly. ***
CANCER (June 21-July
22): It will be a passionate and
interesting day for you. A part-
nership can give what you are
trying to do a boost. Change
may be necessary and should
not be turned down because

you are too set in your ways.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Don't let your emotions cause
you to make a mistake. A part-
nership can be dealt with today
as long as you are willing to say
what you think and deal with
the consequences. Someone
from your past will help you
out. **
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22): If you slow down, you will
be subject to ridicule and criti-
cism. Trust in your own judg-
ment and follow through with
what you believe is right. A
necessary change in a relation-
ship you are involved in will
take place. *****
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.
22): Put your heart into what-
ever you can do to make your
home more comfortable or
efficient. Get out with friends
or travel so you can clear your
head or sort through matters.
It's time to take over and get

bypass some of the turmoil
going on around you. Keep in
mind that you can't please
everyone. An older individual
will cause some problems,

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-

with people who can help you
in all levels of life. You are over-

clear up personal matters first.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): You may be ques-

little differently. Have your
answers ready so that you
don't lose time. Keep the
momentum flowing if you want
to reach your goals. **
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Keep a lid on the way you
feel and you will avoid prob-
lems with .neighbors, friends
and relatives. The more time
spent on projects, the more
you will impress the people
around you. Don't jump from
one thing to another. ****
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20): There will be lots that you
aren't being told today. If you
act only on what you assume to
be right, you will make a costly
mistake. Someone you have
had problems with in the past
is likely to give you a hard time
again. ***

You are insightful, inventive,

DEAR ABBY


Sense of humor in classroom


brings young and old together


DEAR ABBY: After read-
ing your column this morning
(Dec. 9) with the letter from
the Arizona substitute
teacher, I had to respond. I am
also an older substitute
teacher with white hair, and I,
too, used to be offended when
children would ask how old I
am.
However, I found that if I,
seemed offended by the ques-
tion, the children would be
hurt and distant for the rest of
the day. When I laughed and
said something like, "Oh my,
I'm old enough to be your
grandmother," or, "Would you
believe I'm older than dirt?"
the children would laugh with
me, and we'd have a positive
relationship for the rest of the
day.
Substitute teaching is about
helping the children to learn
and have a good day while
their teacher is out, not about
making me feel good. When I
can no longer laugh and enjoy
the children, it's .time for me
to retire. - COLORADO
SENIOR SUBSTITUTE
DEAR COLORADO
SUBSTITUTE: Thank you
for weighing in on the issue. I
heard from others in the field
of education (and out), and all
of their input was interesting.
Read on:
DEAR ABBY: I'm a first-
grade teacher and have found
that kids come to school
unaware of many of life's
"rules." I cover the rule about


i'


Abigail Van Buren
www.dearobby.com
asking your age the first day
in my class.
When I introduce myself, I
tell the children that I'm a
grandma and laughingly tell
them that makes me "old."
Someone always asks me the
question, "How old are you?
And that's when I tell them
the first of many of life's rules:
"There are two things you
never ask a woman - her age
and how much she weighs."
The kids always remember
this rule, and many have told
their parents. If a new student
comes to class and asks me
how old I am, you can hear
the gasps from the other stu-
dents. Then another child will
inform him/her of the rule.
Problem solved! -
TEACHER IN OHIO
DEAR ABBY: I started
substitute teaching after 35
years in the classroom. Young
children have no concept of
age. We, as adults, are always
asking' children their ages,
and they are proud to tell us.
Telling young children the
question is inappropriate sets
a double standard.


When I am asked, I always
reply, "How old do you think I
am?" The answer may be any-
where from 5 to 100. Then I
tell them they are close to
being right, chuckle to myself
and continue with the day's
activities. They are happy, no
one is offended, and it puts a
smile on my face. - JOAN
IN STEWARTSTOWN, PA.
DEAR ABBY: A child who
asks the teacher's age is prob-
ably too young to understand
the word "inappropriate,"
Abby. I suggest that the
teacher respond by saying,
"Some people don't like to tell
their ages. I'm old enough to
know you are special." -
ANGIE IN DAYTON,
OHIO
DEAR ABBY: The next
time that substitute teacher is
asked her age, she should
reply, "I have an unlisted num-
ber!" - NANCY IN NORTH
PORT, FIA.
DEAR ABBY: When I was
asked the same question, I
replied, "Twenty-one." (At the
time, our daughter was going
to college.) Two answers
were unique: A 6-year-old girl
said, "You were a very young
mother." A boy the same age
answered, "... and next year
you'll be 22." A difference in
the male-female brain? - -
