A busy lifestyle has earned
one Union County High
School (UCHS) junior an extra
special recognition,
Stephanie Floyd, daughter of
Don and Debbie Floyd of Lake
Butler, has earned the
governor's High School All-
Star Award. "Floyd's
extensive list of school
activities, awards and honors
and community involvement'
made her the clear choice for
the award," said UCHS
Principal Gale Lappalainen.
.The junior's list of
achievements include National
Honor Society, "A" honor roll
student and varsity letters in
both softball and tennis.
Every,member of the junior
class was eligible for the
award. The more than 140
students were looked at in four
different categories. Academic
success, behavior, leadership
and community service were
all considered when Floyd was

chosen.
Floyd's 4.18 grade point
average put her far above the
3.0 minimum required to be
considered for the award. Last
year Floyd scored a five on
both the English and math
sections of the FCAT test.
In the area of behavior,
Lappalainen said Floyd is an
excellent student. "We've
never had any problems from
Stephanie," said Lappalainen.
Floyd's leadership abilities
are shown in her role as junior
class president. In addition,
Floyd is the treasurer of the
Interact Club, as well as
student and section leader in
the UCHS band.
Kelly Dorsey, band director
for UCHS, said Floyd is a self
motivated, dependable student.
"I feel she'll be very successful
in her adult life," said Dorsey.
Floyd is a member of both the
high school's marching and
symphonic bands. Floyd plays

Times Staff Writer

As the Union County Public
Library (UCPL) celebrates its
15th birthday, not only are
library staff looking back,
they're looking ahead as well.
On March 1, 1990, the
UCPL officially opened its
doors to the public. With a
little more than 3,000 books,
the library 'had very .humble
beginnings.
Today, the library has more
than 30,000 books and other
media that residents can use.
'"We .are literally shelving
.,books to the roof," said UCPL
'Director Mary Brown. Library
staff are unable to keep all the
materials in just one building.
Trailers out back house some
of the library's overflow
material.
The library's preschool
program is one of the things
that has made significant
strides. In 1990, the library
presented 14 programs to 516
children. In 2004, it presented
200 programs which drew,

more than 10,000 participants.
In the first year the library
was open it circulated 9,687
books. In 2004, it circulated
nearly five times that many.
Brown estimates the library
circulated between 45,000 and
55,000 books last year.
Along with the increase in
the number of materials the
library has to offer, its purpose
has grown as well. The library
is now a modern media center
that houses videos, audio
cassette tapes, books on CD
and DVDs.
In addition to new forms of
media, the library has
expanded the horizons of the
residents of the county.
Computers allow patrons to
surf the World Wide Web. In
addition to the Web, patrons
have access to several
databases including: Infotrac,
NetLibrary and Heritage
Quest. More than 1,000
patrons per month currently
use these services.
In 1996, the library became
part of the New River Public
Library Cooperative (NRPLC)..

Baker, Bradford and Union
counties brought their libraries
together to provide a wide
range of support. The
formation of the cooperative
gives library patrons three
times the resources from which
to draw from. The NRPLC
maintains an automation
system that the counties share.
NRPLC also provides a
bookmobile for all three
counties.
Recently UCPL has begun
offering basic computer classes
to the public. The free of
charge .learning experiences
take place three times a month.
The classes are well attended.
The library also serves as an
outlet for teenagers in the
county as. well. Junior Friends
of the Library (JFOL) allows
young people to get together
and fhey help the community.
JFOL takes part in many
volunteer projects throughout
the community.
The library serves many
different functions in the

Threats get Raiford teen arrested

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
Making threats to bring pipe
bombs and grenades to school
and detonate them has gotten a
Raiford teen in trouble.
According to a report from
the Union County Sheriff's
, Office (UCSO), the 14-year-
old told several classmates that
he had pipe bombs and
homemade grenades. The teen
threatened to bring the devices
to Union County High School
(UCHS) and detonate them.
He-wo i nt n tn tell nne

classmate that he had a gun as
well. When asked if he
intended to shoot the
classmates he said he would
shoot anyone who got in his
way.
After interviewing the
witnesses, Sargent Ray
Shuford of UCSO found out
this was not the first run-in
they had with the boy.
According to the witness,, the
teen had been standing behind
the witness when attempting
to open a locker. The witness
said the teen was trying to gain
access to the combination of
the locker. Realizing what was

taking place, the witness left
and did not open the locker.
When making his threats, the
teen told the witness he would
put a bomb in the locker of the
witness' friend. The teen'
included the number of the
locker in his threats.
According to witnesses, the
teen's motives for bringing the
devices were that he hated
UCHS. He also made
comments about several
teachers referring to them as
"spawns of Satan."
On March 2, Shuford met

both flute and piccolo in the
band.
Floyd's list of community
involvement is a long one.
Some of the highlights of the
list include being: a member of
the youth group at Harmony
Freewill Baptist Church, a
volunteer with the Toys for
Kids program and a musical
tutor for the local Boy Scout
-Troop.
Floyd not only helps her
community, but other schools
as well. Floyd volunteers to
help up-and-coming flute and
piccolo players at Lake Butler
Middle School (LBMS). She
was a prominent member of
the band while attending
LBMS. Her active role earned
her Band Member of the Year
honors while in middle school.
In order to choose a
recipient, UCHS convened a
special panel comprised of at
least one teacher, one
administrator, one parent, one
community member and two
high school seniors. The panel
was tasked with determining
which junior best met the
state's criteria for the award.
When asked how she
balanced her hectic schedule,
Floyd said it was easy. "If I
had free time I wouldn't know
what to do," said Floyd. "I've
always been doing something."
So that she was not bored
during last year's summer'
break, Floyd attended Florida
State University's band camp
program. "Stephanie has
always sought out musical
instruction to better herself,"
said Dorsey.
On Friday, April 1,
Governor Jeb Bush will host a
luncheon for the recipients of
the award from all 67 school
districts. It will take place at
the Governor's Mansion and
will be followed by a
roundtable discussion. Award
winners will have their picture
taken with Bush and receive a
certificate of recognition.
When asked if she was
looking forward to meeting
Bush, Floyd said she definitely
was. "But I have rio idea what
I'm going to say to him," said
-Floyd.

Lake City
Community
College
receives
$5,000 grant
Getting paid to learn? Now
there's a proposition not
available at many colleges.
How about receiving a new
business suit? Being eligible
for cash and prizes upon the
completion of the training
sessions? Getting the chance
to pick the brains of successful
small business owners? Dr.
Sheri Carder, advisor to Lake
City Community College's
(LCCC"S) Students in Free
Enterprise (SIFE) team,
announces just such a
program.
The SIFE Team at the
college has been awarded a
$5,000 grant called "It's About
$upce$$" from the Marcus
Foundation, a national SIFE
sponsor. The grant is
specifically targeted to
teaching disadvantaged groups
the benefits of
entrepreneurship.
The SIFE team designed an
ambitious .program, targeting
the high school seniors who
are Take Stock in Children
(TSIC) recipients in Columbia
County. Seventeen seniors are
eligible to participate.
This high-powered program
covers a three-month period.
The TSIC seniors will attend
training workshops on
Saturday at the college on
resume writing, interviewing
techniques, business ethics;
business etiquette, .personal
credit, financial literacy and
small business ownership.
To encourage participation,
all students will Teceive
"payment" in the form of cash
scholarships for attending the
sessions. The students will
also complete a four-hour job
shadowing 'experience with
local, successful entrepreneurs.
Following the job
shadowing, they will write and
illustrate a short book on their
experience. The books will
then be published and placed
in the local library as career
development resources.
Students who attend every
training session will be entitled
to even more benefits: they
will be provided a new
bduiness suit!plus they will
attend a gala. gradu'atitni.
luYicheon, with& drawirig fo k
additional cash and prizes.
Gonzo Cutts, a CHS senior
who attended the first session
on writing resumes, said he'd
already done two resumes in
various high school classes.
However, he was interested in
using the new format a
functional resume rather than
the standard 'chronological -
resume which highlights
skills rather than places
worked.
Trisha Fancy, one of the
SIFE students involved in the
teaching project, added, "The
functional resume is far more
S useful. Your part-time jobs or
volunteer projects can be
analyzed for the skills you
gained which might apply to a
new position. It's ideal for
people who are changing fields
or who have patchy
employment."

Columbia County School
District, and Linda Williams,

scholarships to disadvantaged
students, who were identified
in the eighth grade,
Currently, LCCC has 200
students "in the pipeline." All
will attend LCCC the first two
years. These students, in turn,
promise to stay out of trouble,
stay off drugs and keep their
grades up.
"Despite having to go to
school on Saturdays, these
students were excited to be
part of the program," Carder
said. "It's a win-win situation
for everyone involved: the
LCCC Foundation can receive
a matching two-thirds of this
grant from the state; the local
high school business teachers
S are also attending and
receiving complete sets of the
curriculum; and my own SIFE

students are gaining leadership
skills by designing and
teaching the curriculum. This
is the most comprehensive
project we've attempted."

Landfill exploring new disposal efforts

By MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Staff Writer

The New River Regional'
Landfill has initiated a sizeable
effort to recover electronic
equipment for recycling,
according to Executive Director
Darrell O'Neal.
Such equipment, like
computers and televisions,
contain heavy metals that can
accumulate in landfills and lead
tq contamination. But the
recent surge in such items,
which O'Neal attributed to
loer prices and disposability,
his made the influx of such
items difficult to handle.
SiWhile e-waste, as it is known,
w ll .begin to be transported to
Creative Recycling of Tampa,
ths landfill will be moving
toward deconstructing those
items on site, separating
materials that need to be
recovered from the rest of the
m trials.
At the same time, O'Neal and
A sistant Director James Croft
hve- been a--Departme'nt of-

Bradford County accepts the

'Collection Ceteer, which wAs
.esta1 Ihedh ,i he same
$1 00,60 grant now being
considered for Baker and Union
counties if funding is
restored to the program in the
state's next budget cycle. Croft
explained $90,000 had been cut
from the program.
"The first thing that would
have to be done if there was an
interest in pursuing' that
program is we've got to
convince the legislature and the
governor to put that $90,000
back into the budget," Croft
said. There chances would be
improved, he said, if Nassau
County were included:.
,E-waste also falls in the
household hazardous waste
category, Croft said, and grant
funds can be used to expand
that effort as well. O'Neal said
there are a number. of items,
such as DVD players,
microwaves, -stereos and
cellular phones, that the landfill
is not yet touching, but which
could cause problems for the
landfill down the road if an
effort isn't undertaken to,
recover and process them
properly.
In a later grant cycle, a year
after'the counties have been

running their own programs,
they can join forces and use the
landfill as a host. Like they
have-found with solid waste and
tecycLing. Croft said; it will be
more *cost effective -to
regionalize the hazardous waste
collection effort.
The landfill would then be
able to offer a solution to
citizens who show up with paint
cans, pesticides and cleaners
only to be turned away, O'Neal
said. Landfill staff would also
be able to begin recovering
those items that are now being
improperly disposed of in the
solid waste stream. "
O'Neal and Croft received
permission to proceed from the
New River Solid Waste
Association board.
In order to accommodate the
hazardous waste program, ds
well as expand the e-waste
program, without adding
additional staff, the landfill will
need to develop an all-in-one
processing facility, O'Neal said.
The facility will combine the
new special waste programs
with the recycling program.
Currently, recycling is housed
in an old barn.
In other business:
Capital City Bank has taken
over banking for the New River
Solid Waste Association.
Union County received a
25-foot flat-bed trailer donated
by the landfill.

Religious display
ruling
* Or a deserving
response to a court
decision,
In spite of experience, years
of education, absolute
impartiality, ignoring personal
feelings and devotion to the
Constitution, Supreme Court
Justices make some dumb
decisions at times, reflecting
personal and political opinions
entering into deliberations.
It isn't supposed to be that
way. Decisions should be
based on what the Constitution
says, not what can be "read
between the lines". If justices
considered only the written
word,-Americans would see an
occasional unanimous
decision, or near unanimous
decisions and the terms
"liberal" and "conservative"
would be pass as personal
opinions drop from the
equation. Human nature being
what it is, it will never happen.
The current brouhaha
concerning the Ten
Commandments is the result of
Alabama Chief Justice Roy
Moore installing a granite
marker in the Alabama Judicial
Building engraved with the
Commandments. Now Moore
is nobody's fool he knew
exactly what he was doing, and
that his action would surely set
off a howl from the ACLU and
its darlings, that would reach
the ears of the Supreme Court

in Washington. Moore was
forced from office and the
marker was removed from the
government building, but the
end is not yel.
The Supreme Court has the
item on its agenda and will
likely render a decision
concerning the Ten
Commandments in public
buildings in the early summer.
Most Ameri.bans expect the
court to ban tTe practice, citing
the separatioci of church and
state. No matter that the court
opens its sessions s with a
Christian prayer, or that the
nation was. founded on tjie
Judeo-Chrisitian religion. The
United States must not
establish a religion and Judge
Moore mus;,t be a redneck
moron. Let's take a look at,
Judge Moore's credentials:
Moore waS born in Etowah
County (northeast) Alabama
and graduated from Gadsen
High School, in 1965. In 1969
he graduated from the U.S.
Military Academy. at West
Point, with a: bachelor's degree
in science. In the military
service, he was a captain in a
military police unit in
Germany, and a company
commander in Vietnam. In
1977 he received his juris
doctorate degree from the
University of Alabama and
returned to Etowah County,
employed is a deputy district
attorney. Ile was in private
practice 19.84-92, followed by
a term as circuit judge. In 1992

he was elected chief justice of
the Alabama Supreme Court.
It's difficult to denigrate a
West Point graduate with an
excellent military record and
successful political campaigns
for elective offices. He can't
be ignorant, bhit he can be
stubborn, more especially
when it comes to his religious
beliefs. Judge Moore evidently
believes the posting of the Ten
Commandments in public
buildings does not conflict
with the separation of church
and state.
. Never the less, the U.S.
Supreme Court is likely to take
a dim view of Judge Moore's
display of the Ten
Commandments in the
Alabama Supreme Court
Building, and rule against his
action, although the granite
display has already been
removed from the Alabama
court building.
However, a court's decision
to preclude displaying the Ten
Commandments in public
places may set in motion some
unintended consequences that
will allow individuals to
participate and render the
courts powerless to curtail,

One group of students in

against underage drinking.
Students Against Destructive
Decisions (SADD), Union

Chapter, has joined a national
campaign to save a life and
end underage drinking.
Hundreds of communities
across the country will also
participate in this grassroots
effort to encourage students
and adults to abstain from
alcoholic beverages for a 72-
hour period.
To support their efforts,-the
city of Lake Butler declared
April 1-3 Alcohol Free

Crawford signed a
proclamation to that effect.
Superintendent Carlton Faulk,
Sheriff Jerry Whitehead,
SADD sponsor Lori Howard
and. Prevention Coordinator
Margie Coburn have all joined
the group in its effort to
prevent underage drinking.
Statistics show that prom,
spring break and graduation
season is a time of year when
teens are most likely to
consume alcohol. It is also the
most likely time for them to
get behind the wheel when
they have been drinking.
The weekend has been
planned to coincide with the
high school prom. "The SADD
chapter at UCHS would like to
make a real difference by
encouraging students to leave
alcohol and other drugs out of

The Union County
Historical Society needs your
help in preserving the rich
history of Union County.
The group is looking for any
items that might be of
historical significance to. the
county. "What you think is
junk we might think 'is a
treasure," said society
representative Bill McGill. He
said the group is working hard
to recover the items that will
show off the county's history.,
McGill said the society will'
accept anything of historical
significance anyone wants to
part with. "Indian artifacts,
arrowheads, poetry shards, old
hand and farm tools, pre World
War II items, old school
picture books, victrola records
and kitchen and household
items are things the library
could use," said McGill.
McGill said if anyone has
pictures of interest the society
could copy the pictures and

return them to the owner. "We
would just like to get a copy of
the picture for the museum,"
said Mc(3ill.
The museum is interested in
starting ia firearms collection as
well. "(iuns, rifles, shotguns
and pispls would be accepted
for ou r collection," said
McGill., 'We'll even accept an
old moonshine still if anyone
has one,"' said McGill.
If you're in doubt as to
wether &r not an item might
have hi:!;torical value, McGill
said call the museum and they
would be happy to look at. "If
you real ly don't know if it's of

After the meeting, the teen was
placed under arrest for
threatening discharge of a
destructive device. He was
transported to the Union
County Jail and booked in.
According to the report, this
is not the first time the teen has
made such threats. Last year
the teen was expelled from
Bradford High School- for
making similar threats.
On March 8, the Union
County School Board voted 5-

LIFE, p. 4B

Michael C. Knickerbocker,
39, on March 10 pled -no
contest to a charge of murder
in the first degree as a result of
-a plea bargain that will keep
the state from seeking the
death penalty.

Meghan Renaud

Knickerbocker was charged
with murder in the 1989
slaying of Meghan Renaud, a
Bradford County teenager who
was apparently abducted from
her home and then shot in the
head and left in the woods
nearby.
By pleading no contest.
Knickerbocker agreed to
accept a sentence of life
imprisonment with a minimum
mandatory service of 25 years
in the- Department of
Corrections. That sentence will
begin after he finishes serving
.another life sentence with a
minimum mandatory 25 years
included for several rapes
for which he was convicted in
Alachua-County. .
Knickerbocker will be at
least 74 years old before he
can even be considered for
parole and State Attorney
Bill Cervone said he believes
there is little chance
Knickerbocker will receive
parole at that time. "'He will
never get out," said Cervone.
"We only agreed to
negotiate and elected not to
seek the death penalty after
consulting with the (Renaud)
family," said Certone.
"Closure is more important to
them than seeking'the death
penalty. Now they have-
closure in something that has
been a burden for them for
almost exactly 16 years."
He said he believes the idea
of waiting another 25-plus
years to find out if
Knickerbocker is executed or
-not. would have simply
prolonged the -agony for the
family.
S Chief Assistant Public
Defender Johnny Kearns,
representing Knickerbocker,
said his client sought the plea
bargain in an effort to spare the
Renaud family and his own
family the trauma of a drawn-
out trail. Reading a statement
-issued -by Knickerbocker.
Kearns said the defendant
"knows there is nothing he can
say or do :that can undo what
has been done". Kearns also
said Knickerboacker asked
forgiveness of the Renaud
family and of God;
Knickerbocker, with his
hands manacled at his waist.,
stood besidee Kearns during the
proceedings, but declined to
speak except to answer direct
questions put to him by Circuit
Court Judge David Giant.
Assistant State Attorney
Margaret Stack, who has been
working on this case since
1992, said Knickerbocker was
a suspect in the case all along.
Early on, ballistics information
indicated bullets recovered
from the Knickerbocker family
home "were consistent" with
the type of bullet used to kill
Renaud.
Cervone said that since this
type of match meant that the
bullets used to kill Renaud also
matched thousands of other
bullets, this information alone
was not enough -to cause the
state attorney to charge
Knickerbocker with the crime.
"At the time, we had no
- evidence that put the gun into
Knickerbocker's hands, but he
has always been on the suspect
list," said Cervone.
Stack said the final piece of
evidence came about because

Hampton Marshal John Hodges surveys the burned-out hulk of what was once his house.

Hampton marshal: House fire was

meant as tactic of intimidation

An early-niorning fire .on
CR-221 in Hampton March 10
has been ruled arson, and the
home o6Wiier, Hampton
Marshal John Hodges, said he
believes the fire was set to
intimidate him into backing
out of an investigation. `
Detective David Cheers of
the State Fire Marshal's Office
said the fire is still under
investigation, but it has been
determined to have been
started by an arsonist. A
reward of up to $2,500 is being
offered,. 1,.- the ,loxidjt.
Advisory Committee on Arson
Prevention to anyone who
provides information that leads
to an arrest in the case.
Anyone with information
should call 1-877-NOARSON

Hodges said he has been
cooperating with the FBI, the
Florida Department of Law
Enforcement and the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms in an investigation.
that is drug-related.
Jeff Westcott, an agent in
the FBI's Jacksonville office,

said he could confirm that FBI
agents are involved in the fire
investigation along with the
fire marshal's office, but said
he could divulge no
information other than that at
this time.
Hodges said he owns the
house in Hampton, but that he
and his wife sleep most of the
time at a house his wife owns
in Lawtey. No family member
was present at the house when
the fire started and no one was
injured.
"I'm at the (Hampton) house
every day. I had a lot of
equipment, tools and
belongings in the house," said
Hodges. "I still had'f y, office
there and did my book work
there."
Hodges is marshal for
Hampton, but also owns and
runs a home renovation
business. He estimates that
equipment related to that
business and to his position as
marshal equipment that was
destroyed in the fire was
valued .at about $15,000. The
furniture and other contents of
the house, he valued at about
$15,000. The house itself,
which was a total loss, was
worth about $50,000. Hodges

Manager Ken Sauer and Rep. Stearns. Starke is not New York City, Stearns said,
but given the number of people who ask for money each year, it's nice to help a
small community because it is better appreciated and the money goes further.
"This is a small amount of money in the big scheme of things, but a big amount of
money for Starke," Stearns said. Stearns spent the remainder of the hour
discussing matters of importance to citizens, including social security reform,
prescription drugs and right-to-life issues.

LIFE
Continued from p. 1B
advance in DNA testing that
allowed investigators to get a
positive match between the
hair and Knickerbocker.
, "The hair was tested
repeatedly through' the years.
but it has only been. recently
that DNA testing has grown
sophisticated enough to
provide a match." said
Cer'. one.
On March 19 or 20 in 1989,
Renaud was removed from her
home and found dead in a
clearing nearby a few days
later. She was killed with a .22
caliber handgun. A .22 caliber
gun was owned by
Knickerbocker's family and
was recovered from their
home. The Knickerbockers
lived near the Renauds at the
time.
The barrel of the recovered
gun was damaged, so a
positive ballistics match
between the .gun. and.: the
bullets w-a not i'ssi)ble. A
match between the type of
bullet used to kill Renaud and
bullets found at the
Knickerbocker home was
made, but that match was not
absolute.
Knickerbocker has been in
prison on other charges since
shortly after Renaud's death.
The case became a cold
case, but Stack brought it back
to the front burner in 1992 and
the body vas even exhumed in
1994 in an effort to 'obtain
more evidence.
Stack has been in contact
with the Renaud family
through the years, especially
with Meghan's brother,
Jonathan. Jonathan Renaud is a
chief warrant officer (CWO2)
with the Army Criminal
Investigation Command at Fort

Carson, Colo.
Jonathan said since he has
been in law enforcement
himself for the past 10 ears.
he knows how hard it is to
bring closure to a case this old.
"I know there are a lot of'
cases that just don't. get,
solved," he said. The Renaud
family truly appreciates the.
hard work done in solh ing this
case, he said.'
Jonathan was 16 at the time
of Meghan's death and said
her murder placed an indelible
mark on every member of the
family. "I can't even begin to
describe the affect this has had
(on the family)," he said.
Jonathan said the family
',feels the outcome of the trail
*was the "absolute best we
could have hoped for. He's
(Knickerbocker's) not going to
get out of jail. That doesn't
change what happened 16
years ago, but at least it ends
here."
He said that years after the
family had resigned itself to
ithe belief ,hat the. case.-would .
'just never be resolved, the
knowledge that Knickerbocker
has been charged and w ill
serve time for it cameras a
relief.
He commended the Florida
Department of Law
Enforcement, the state
attorney's office and every
other law enforcement officer
involved in the case. He gave a
special thanks to Stack for her
perseverance. "(She) never let
this go," he said.
When Stack was asked how
she felt about the outcome of
the hearing March 10, she said,
"It feels great. I'm just so glad
we can finally write "closed'
on this file."

Demand for public information is surging

By CHUCK MCCUTCHEON
2005 Newhouse News Service ..
Washington-At a time when critics accuse the fed-
eral government of excessive secrecy, the public's
appetite for information is growing by leaps and
bounds.
Hits on government Web sites are soaring.
Document requests under the Freedom of Information
Act, or FOIA, have hit all-time highs. And online
archives collecting everything from court decisions to
spies' names are seeing vast growth in numbers of vis-
itors.
All those developments, say advocates of greater
governmental openness, show that their cause
deserves more support.
"It's a huge irony that while the public is'filing more
FOIA requests, this administration is developing a
reputation as one of the most secretive governments
we've had in history," said Rick Blum, coordinator of
the Web-based coalition OpenTheGovernment.org.
The Justice Departmient's Office of Information and
Privacy said in a report last August that federal agen-
cies received a record 3.26 million requests under the
Freedom of Information Act in fiscal 2003, the most
recent year available. That was a 36 percent increase
over 2002, the highest one-year jump ever.
About half the increase was due to people seeking
access to personal and family records from the Social
Security Administration, often for genealogical
research, said agency spokesman Mark Hinkle. The
departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland
Security also saw large numbers of requests.
According to Nielsen//NetRatings, an Internet audi-
ence measurement service, several of the govern-
ment's most heavily used Web sites recorded higher
levels in January 2005 than in the same month a year
earlier.

Among the most popular was the Department of
Health and Human Services site, which served nearly
12 million visitors in January-a 24 percent increase
from 2004. Other government sites with fast-growing
traffic included the departments of Homeland Security
(54 percent more visitors), Agriculture (43 percent)
and Housing and Urban Development (41 percent).
The U.S. Government Printing Office's Web site,
gpoaccess.gov, averaged nearly 34 million'retrievals
of government documents per month in 2004-a mil-
lion more than in 2003 and almost triple the number in
1998, according to agency figures.
One avid visitor to various sites is Mark Pruner,
president of Web. Counsel, a Stamford, Conn., legal
marketing services company.
"I check Commerce, Census, and Bureau of
Economic Analysis sites for commercial information,
which is great for providing info for business and mar-
keting plans," Pruner said. "I check the NASA sites for
stuff like the Mars and Saturn missions. I look at the
(Library of Congress') THOMAS site for statutes and
bills, congressional sites for hearings, committee
assignments and e-mail addresses and the (Energy
Department) and (Computer Emergency Readiness
Team) sites for info on viruses."
The popularity of the federal sites can be explained
at least in part by' the Internet's emergence as an easy-
to-use information resource. But watchdog groups and
others who specialize in collecting documents said
there also is more interest in their activities..
Subscriptions to the Federation of American
Scientists' Secrecy News, a free e-mail bulletin with
links to hard-to-find documents on defense, intelli-
gence and other issuess (fas.org; click on "Governiment
Secrecy"), have; grown to more than 10,000 from an
initial 200 four years ago.
"It's a lot of growth, and it's all self-selected

growth," said Steven Aftergood, who
issues the bulletin. "I don't put peo-
ple on the mailing list until they've
asked. So ft's a barometer of public
interest."
Private Web sites featuring exclu-
sive materials obtained via govern-
ment leaks or other unofficial chan-
nels also are seeing more visitors.
Among the best known are the
Smoking Gun
(thesmokinggun.com), which col-
lects court documents, arrest photogra
information about public figures; the
(thememoryhole.org), which has put
flag-draped coffins of soldiers killed
Cryptome (cryptome.org), a catch-all
once posted details of a secret CIA
included the name and telephone numb
cial who gave it.
Cryptome administrator John Young
arcliieai. said his site drew 50,000 hits
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Since then
number has grown to 150,000.
"People don't think they're getting rel
tion out of the government, and they're
source of information that offsets what
held," Young said.
The Bush administration denies being

tive.
"It's an unfair perception; it's not
the way I view our approach," Vice
President Dick Cheney said at an
American Society of Newspaper
Editors conference in 2003, citing
the decision to allow embedded.
reporters to travel with troops in
Iraq as evidence of "our commit-
ment to the free flow of informa-
tion."
President Bush in 2002 signed
into law the E-Government Act,
which required federal agencies to
work on making more government
information accessible over the
Internet. A report by Congress'
Government Accountability Office
in December said agencies have
made "positive steps" toward imple-
menting key provisions, but have
failed to carry out some others.
"The agencies are doing a good
job of trying to put out informa-
tion," said Peter Hernon, founding
editor of Government Information
Quarterly, an academic journal.
'Yes, there are areas where
there's a decline," said Hernon, a
library and information science pro-
fessor at Boston's Simmons
College. '"But the ultimate question
that nobody has answered is,
VWhat's the proper balance between
open access and legitimate securi-
ty?' Nobody's related that pro er
balance to e-government."
Some activists say the Bush
administration is not entirely to
blame for limiting access. They
note that members of Congress
have blocked the public from easily

One-thousand yesterdays -
too many smiles apart;
A zenith of the stars,

Still the brightest memory

Moreover, God's loving hand
Protects us from life's storms.
We are still singing your song;
Telling your sweet stories too,
Though three years,
you've been gone,
Your legacy is burning true.
Lovingly,

Strawberry golf tournament is set for April 2-3

By BUSTER RAHN
BCT Correspondent

The Starke Golf Club will
host its 39th consecutive
Strawberry Golf Tournament
Saturday and Sunday, April 2-
3, with a field of 80 golfers,
drawn from Northeast Florida.
The first players will tee off
at 8 a.m.
It is expected to be a fine
gplf outing, with a good field
of players, a skins game within
the game and very fine prizes
for the lucky winners. The
course promises to be in the
finest condition ever see inrr
the long-running tournament,
with the greens in prime
condition.
The fairways can use some
warm weather on the Bermuda

to cover some bare spots, but
the two-week interval may do
wonders in filling in the
denuded areas. Club Manager
Paul Illgen has done an
outstanding-job-in- cleaning up

and fixing up the course.
Players of the Starke Golf
course are aware that it is an
excellent layout of testy
fairways and intimidating
water hazards, with the course

record 62 having been shot
three times in its 39-year
history twice by former
professional Bill Adams and
once by club protDavid Elder.
The tournament field % ill be

divided into a championship
ahd four handicap flights, with
winners in each flight winning
a set of Titleist irons, retailing
for $699. Second-place
winners in. each flight will win

a new Titleist driver, a $350
value, and third-place winners
will win a Titleist wedge,
retailing for $99. Titleist

3 Bradford

girls find

success -in

show ring

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer

A pair of Bradford Coumnt
.sisters put on quite a show at
the 2005 Florida State Fair,
where they displayed a: pair of
grand champions and a paif-ro
reserve grand champions in the
Brahman cattle category.
Ashley Waters, a 17-year-old
Bradford High School student,
showed the grand champ bull
and grand champ female. Her
13-,year-old sister, Amber
Waters, a .Bradford Middle
School student, showed the
reserve grand champ bull and
reserve grand champ female."
It was the second year the
sisters had participated in the
Florida State Fair.
"We expected we might get a
.class win, maybe two," Ashley
said. "I never thought, with us
.being sisters, that we would get
grand and reserve with the
heiffers and the bulls."
Ashley also placed second in
senior showmanship, which she
admitted she thought was pretty
good, considering she was in a
group of 75 (Amber was first in
intermediate showmanship at
last year's fair).
Actually, it was a good
showing-for three sisters, -,so to
speak. Vanessa Green, a 17-
year-old Bradford High School
student, showed the senior
division champion heiffer and
bull. Ashley and Amber both
said Green is like a sister to
them.
Green, like both Amber and
Ashley, was participating in her
second Florida ..State Fair.
Ashley said the trio was
nervous at last year's fair just
because of the number of
people in attendance.
"We've gotten more '
comfortable with it since we do
it a lot," Ashley said. "We go to
like 10 shows a year."
That includes not just shows
at the Bradford County Fair, but
throughout the state and in
other states such as Georgia and
Alabama.

equipment is considered
among the best in the sport.
The skins game will .pay an
estimated $70 per skin, based
on last year's experience. The
amount may be more, or less,
depending on the number of
skins won. To level the playing
field, there will be two skins
games,: one for the
championship and low-
handicap flights and another
for the fourth and fifth flights.
Last year's winner of the
Strawberry Tournament was
Tatum Davis with a 75/70,
followed by Starke native
Richard Gaines, posting a
77/72, in the championship
flight. Former pro Bill Adams
will continue to sit out the
tournament because of the
perceived advantage he has in
having spent time on tour. He
has since regained his amateur
status.
There is no I admission
charge to attend the
tournament, walk the" course

friends and families are
encouraged to come out and
cheer on the contestants, to see
the improvements to the course

SMI Joist at work on Wal-Mart

By MARK J. CRAWFORD
Telegraph Staff Writer

Employees at SMI Joist in
Starke are currently hard at
work fabricating the support
structures for the three acres
worth of building that will
house the area's first Wal-Mart
Supercenter.
When the store opens later
this year, customers will simply
have to look up to see the yards
and yards of exposed steel
beams that were manufactured
locally.
But local workers aren't only
involved with local projects.
According to Plant
Superintendent Dewayne
Tyson, SMI Joist and its parent
company, Commercial Metals
Company, are Wal-Mart's sole
source for the steel joists and
girders that comprise its
buildings in the United States,
and some overseas buildings as
well, including supercenters and
Sam's Clubs. That makes Wal-
Mart the plant's largest national,
client, an account they've had
for a number of years.

"Most people in this
community think we make steel
out here," Tyson said. ".We
don't make steel. Steel is our
biggest inventory. We've got a
little over 6,000 tons of raw
material now. But what we
take is angle and round barand
we process it and we turn it into
joists, which are roof supports.
Girders are the primary
members. They span from
column to column, and then the
joists bear on them at the panel
points. That's what makes up a
building."
Wal-Mart is an account the
manufacturer worked hard to
get and works hard to keep. It
all comes down to customer
service, Tyson said.
"They give customer service
and they want customer service,
and we feel like we service
them pretty well," he said.
They must be ,doing
something right, as they also
hold the national accounts for
Costco and Auto Zone, and
their agreement with Home
Depot was just extended for an
additional year. But given the
number of new stores opened
each year, Tyson said between
65 and 70 percent of the work
they do is for Wal-Mart.
NSMI is' -responsible for
pumping more than $7 million
worth of annual revenue into
,Bradford, County,/ including
salaries, taxes, etc.,/ The Starke
supercenter project alone is
worth more than/$250,000 to
SMI Joist, but even that is just a
fraction of the plant's, total
'annual sales.
SMI is scheduled to deliver
the final product for the
supercenter on April 6 and 7.
"We're proud to be building
something that's going to be an
icon and -have such an
economic impact on the
community, because we support
our community," Tyson said,
mentioning the plant's

volunteer work and charitable
contributions. They've also
racked up more than a few
awards for their annual entries
in the Starke Christmas Parade.
"One thing we've always
tried to show is that we're not
only a family here, we're a
family in our community, to our
neighbors and friends," said
Tyson, himself a Bradford
County native.
SMI management and the
employees are perhaps most
proud of their safety record.
Safety, Tyson said, is number
one. Of the 245 employees at
SMI, more than 200 of whom
are hands-on in the
manufacturing process,
accidents are few and very fart
between. Tyson said the plant
is near two million man-hours
without an accident, which
makes it number one in safety

in the industry.
He said workers' 'can-do
attitudes have also made the
plant one of the most efficient
in the country.
"It's fun for me to come into
work, to know that I've got a
fine group of people to work
with, and they take care of
business," Tyson said.
The four other SMI Joist
locations are found in Arkansas,
Iowa, Nevada and South
Carolina. Commercial Metals
Company, which dates back to
1915, owns more than 100
plants around the country that
do : everything from
manufacture steel to processing
scrap metal,

Jolley

delivers for

KHHS in win

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
Trae Jolley drove in the
winning run for the Keystone
Heights baseball team in the
eighth inning of a 5-4 win over
visiting Middleburg on March
14.
Keystone (5-3 prior to March
15) loaded the bases prior to
Jolley's game winner. Tyler
Richardson drew a walk and
Wil Breton bunted safely. Each
runner advanced on Blake
Lott's sacrifice before Michael
Comeau was intentionally
walked.
Lott and Breton each hit a
double for the Indians, who
played District 4-3 opponent
Interlachen on Tuesday.
Keystone head coach Alan
Mattox said Lott "threw a gem"
of a game, but the decision
went tn reliever Anthony
Giurate (1-0).
The win followed a week in
which the Indians went 1-2.
On Tuesday, March 8,
Keystone was defeated 10-2 by
Orange Park Ridgeview.
Mattox said his team made
some uncharacteristic mistakes
im that fsame and "just left too
many guys on base."
Getting on base was a
problem for the Indians in a 3-0
loss to district opponent Fort
White on March 10 in
Keystone, ,
Fort White pitcher Dust\
Parrish allowed just four hits
and two walks, while striking
out seven.
All three Fort. White runs
occurred in the fourth inning, in
which only one ball left the
infield. The Indians failed to
make a play on a pop-up bunt
that could've been a double
play, Mattox said.
Keystone would bounce back
from those two losses with a 7-
0 win over visiting Buchholz on
March 1.1.
Comeau (2-0) pitched a
complete game, allowing four
hits. He also had two doubles at
the plate to help his cause,
while Loft also had two hits.
The defense behind Comeau
was solid, as well, turning a key
double play at one point,

Mattox said.
Keystone will host district
opponent Bradford on Friday,
March 18, then travel to Lake

Butler to play district opponent
Union County on Tuesday,
March 22. Both games are
scheduled for 7 p.m.
