CarelessrAiving overturns tractor trailer

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
:The careless driving of a
tractor trailer driver sent one
Lake Butler man to the
hospital Aug. 29.
According to a report from
the Florida, Highway Patrol, at
approximately 2:40 p.m.,
Claudio Pascuci, 36, of Erie,
Penn. was traveling east on
S.R. 100 in a 1989 Volvo
tractor trailer. Michael
Hudnall, 67, of Lake Butler,
traveling in the same direction
driving a 1998 Mazda pickup
and towing a trailer, slowed to
turn left onto C.R. 237.
Pascuci did not see Hudnall
slowing and turned left in an
-attempt to avoid a rear-end
collision with Hudnall.
- Hudnall had already begun
-to turn left onto C.R. 237 and
was already across the center
of the road. Pascuci then struck
Hudinll, sending him into the
ditch. Pascuci's momentum
carried him down S.R. 100,
where his vehicle overturned,
resulting in the trailer blocking
the east-bound lane. Hudnall
was taken to Shands at Starke.
Pascuci was treated and
released at the scene.
FHP trooper Lena Ward
cited Pascuci for careless
driving. The report estimates
his truck sustained $35,000 in
damages. The report also
estimates damages .to

CodeRED warns residents of danger quickly

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer

The county has found a new
way of warning citizens in the
event an emergency situation
faces the county.
The CodeRED warning
system is now being utilizied
by the Union County Office of
Emergency Management.
When activated, the system
will contact residents by phone
with a prerecorded message.
The message will inform
residents of what the
emergency is and what actions
they should take.
-,ne thing OEM Director
1oug York is worried about is
jople hanging up on the
urgent message.
"The message begins by
saying 'Please stand by for a

Cutting of

:The cutting of numerous
pine trees, in and around the
D..J. Phillips Recreational
complex has some county
commissionerss upset.
.The trees were cut down
sometime in July and the
remains of what trees were not

lenkins. "I don't remember

message from Code Red',"
said York. "Messages such as
this are hung up on by most
callers."
- York-emphasized that when
residents hear the words code---
red", they stay on the line to
hear the message.
"We understand residents
get calls from solicitors with
the same type of message all
the time," said York. "What
we want people to understand
is that when they hear 'code
red', important information
vital to, their safety will
follow."
According to York,
messages sent out by the
system will state they are from
the OEM. It will then inform
the caller what hazard the
resident is facing. It will end
by giving the caller a phone
-number to help them get more

information.
"We will never use this
system unless we have a
legitimate reason," said York.
"It will only be activated when
it-is-believed- the information
we are sending out is neede-d
by residents."
The county purchased the
system after Sheriff Jerry
Whitehead saw a
demonstration of the system at
a conference in Orlando.
"When I saw the capability
of the system, I knew it would
serve Union County residents
in an important way," said
*Whitehead. "This system
allows us to warn thousands of
residents, all at the same time."
The system, a service of the
Emergency Communications
Network, is capable of
delivering messages at the rate
of 60,000 per hour.

"At that speed, the entire
county can be covered in
approximately 30 minutes,"
said York-"Speed'is important
when trying to warn residents
of an impending danger."
. The -coumty--has-. provided
ECN. with the more -thaii-
10,000 phone numbers the
county has in its data base. To
ensure residents' privacy, the
county required ECN to sign
an agreement stating the
company would use the
numbers only for the purpose
of warning residents. Penalties
will be assessed for failure to
comply.
"Along with the penalties,
the companies' reputation is at
stake with state and local
governments,' said York.
If the need arises for the
county to use the system, it can
be done in several different

formats. York and assistant
OEM director John Walker are
the only two people that can
send out the alert. This'can be
done from any computer in the
world with an Internet
connection.
After signing on to the
system, a screen is generatedT
that gives the operator a map
of the entire county. With one
mouse click, the operator can
highlight as little, or as much,
of the county as he chooses to.
Once the area to be warned
is. determined, the operator
records a message that will be
delivered to the area. The
operator then simply pushes a
button to deliver the calls to

Each year, the Union County School District is
required to publish a report that details
information on how students are promoted from
one grade level to the next and on the numbers of
students retained. What follows is that report for
2004-2005 school year.
Provisions of the law relating to public school
student progression and the district's policies and
procedures on student retention and promotion:
According to section 1008.25 Florida Statutes,
it is the intent of the legislature that each student's
progression from one grade to another be
determined, in part, upon proficiency in reading,
writing, science and mathematics. Each student
and parent must be informed- of. that student's
academic progress.
Each school board must establish a
comprehensive program for student progression
which shall be based upon an evaluation of each
student in a curriculum which covers the Sunshine
State Standards and grade level expectations, and
which complies with state law.
The School Board of Union County has
established a Student Progression Plan in
accordance with section 1008.25 FS. Student
progression is based on evaluation of each
student's achievement on established Sunshine
State Standards provided by the state.
Students who are achieving below district or
state standards in writing, reading, mathematics
and/or science will be identified and given
remedial instruction as needed.
Third-grade students who score Level I in
reading on the third grade Florida Comprehensive
Assessment Test (FCAT) will be retained unless
they meet one of the six good cause exemptions.
Of the 26 Union County third graders who
scored Level 1, eight were promoted based on an
alternate assessment (SAT 10), seven were
students with disabilities who had intensive
remediation and had previously been retained, one
ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)
student was promoted, 14 attended summer camp,
one student was promoted based on portfolio, two
students were promoted according to good cause
in reference to being retained twice previously,
and seven were retained.
According to FS 1008.25, the State Board of
Education has established "good cause" criteria.
These criteria can be used to promote students to
the next grade level, even if they have not scored
at Level 2 on the FCAT reading test:

2003. The alternative standardized
assessment to be used is the grade
three reading Norm Reference Test
(NRT) portion of the FCAT or the
SAT- 10 alternative assessment.
The acceptable levels of
performance on the .alternative
assessments for grade three for the
2004-2005 school year are:
In order to promote a student
using the grade three reading NRT
portion of the FCAT as an alternative
assessment, the grade three student
scoring at Level I reading on the
FCAT must score at or above the 51 st
percentile on the grade three reading
NRT portion of the FCAT.
Or...
To promote a student using the
SAT-10 as an alternative assessment
good cause exemption, the grade
three student scoring at Level I
reading on the FCAT must score at or
above the 45th percentile on a
parallel form of the SAT-10. (The
SAT-10 may only be administered
one time.)
The earliest the alternative
assessment may be administered for
student promotion purposes is
following the receipt of the grade
three student reading FCAT scores or
during the last two weeks of school,
which ever occurs first.
d) Students can be promoted who
demonstrate, through a student
portfolio, that they are reading on
grade level, as evidenced by a
demonstration of mastery of the
Sunshine State Standards in reading
equal to at least a Level 2
performance on the FCAT.
The State Board of Education
adopted student portfolio guidelines
on Jan. 21, 2003. In order to be
accepted as meeting the portfolio
option for demonstrating mastery of
the required reading skills, the
student portfolio contents must:
Be selected by the student's
teacher.

How did UC students fare in 04-05?
The following chart shows how many students in Union County scored at level one or level
two (the lowest levels) on the reading portion of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test
during the 2004-2005 school year. FCAT scores are one of several criteria used in making
decisions on which students are promoted to the next grade level.

"Scrap trees were left behind
and there are stumps
everywhere," said Jenkins.
"Who's responsible for
cleaning that up/" ....
000000
No discussion of the matter
came up until the
commission's regular August
meeting. As the meeting went
onil, there was no mention of
the subject. When it came time
for Commissioner Karen
Cossey to use her allotted time,
she questioned Smith once
again about the trees.
"Wayne, what did we find
out about the tree situation?"
asked Cossey.
Smith proceeded to tell his
fellow commissioners that he
would rather not speak about
the situation.
"I don't want to talk about
it," said Smith.
Smith explained that the
conversation he and another
unnamed person had was not
pleasant. While he did not
want to go into details about
the meeting, he did suggest a
special meeting be called to
address the issue.
"We need to have a special
meeting with the recreation
board to discuss this," said
Smith. To date, the board has
yet to set a time or date for the
meeting. No county official
could say that there had been
any more discussion about
such a meeting.
There was talk among
commissioners that recreation
board officials might have
authorized the cutting.
"The problem is that they do
not have that authority," said
Jenkins. "It's county property
and must be treated as such."
The only recreation board
member available for comment
was Mary Brown. Brown said
she does not recall the board
even bringing up the subject.
"At no time do I remember
discussing anything about
cutting down any trees," said
Brown. If it was done, it w'as
without my knowledge."
It was estimated that 10
truck loads of trees were taken
from the site. The figure came
from the counting of stumps
left in the cut area. There is
much speculation 'amorg
residents about what company
took the trees. To date, no one
with the county has said what
company harvested the trees.
According to officials, there- is
no record of the county
receiving money for the trees
either.--

September is
Library Card
Sign-up
Month
What's the one surprising
investment that can yield up to
10 times its value? Your public
library.
Recent studies show that
:libraries contribute far more
; than informational resources to
;their communities; they also
:strengthen the economy. This
September, the American
-Library Association and
'libraries across the country
;urge individuals to take
Advantage of their investment
and sign up for a library card,
the "smartest card" in your
wallet.
"The public rewards of
library enrollment speak for
themselves," said ALA
-President Michael Gorman.
-"Nowhere else are books,
magazines, the Web, audio-
and videotapes, CDs, DVDs,
.and more available to all
people regardless of economic
status. And librarians are
always available to help you
make the right choices for you
and your family."
Libraries are among the
most effective of all public
services, serving more than
two-thirds of the population
with less than 2 percent of all

... tax dollars. A study of the
economic contribution and
return on taxpayer investment
in Florida public libraries
shows that returns far exceed
taxpayers' investment-a
$6.54 return for every tax
dollar invested.
Libraries also supply more
jobs, higher wages, and 'an
increase in the gross national
product, providing further
proof that libraries are a sound
economic investment.
Observed every September
since 1987, Library Card Sign-
up Month reminds parents that
a library card is the most
important school supply of all.
Studies have shown that
children who are read to in the
home and use library services
perform better in school and
are more likely to use libraries
as a source for lifetime
learning. With almost 16,500
public libraries nationwide,
free homework help, computer
classes and a world of
information are right around
the comer.

the "Smartest Card" campaign,

New LCCC
program helps
LPNs become
RNs
Lake City Community
College has partnered with
Lake City Medical Center to
design a new fast-track bridge
program that allows licensed
practical nurses to keep their
day jobs while achieving an
associate in science nursing
degree.
The new bridge program is
designed to be completed in 12
months by attending classes
two evenings a week and
clinical rotations one day per
week. To gain admission to the
program there are at least 10
entrance requirements that
must be met with two of the
most important being: 1)
working as an LPN for a
minimum of 2,000 hours
within the past five years, and
2) having a GPA of 3.0 on
prerequisites with a minimum
of a C in each course. The
deadline for application is
Sept. 15.
The program is designed to
help alleviate the health care

industry's growing need for
more registered nurses. There
are many qualified licensed
practical nurses in North
Florida who are interested in
advancing their careers to
become registered nurses.
They are willing to return to
college to achieve this goal,
yet they often have to work
full time to support their
families. The fast-track
program will provide access to
educational opportunities for
this group of LPNs, making
more registered nurses
available in North Florida as
the LPNs move into their new
role of RN.
Robbie Carson, director of
nursing programs at LCCC,
said "Lake City Medical
Center has played a large role
in helping make this dream a
reality for LCCC's nursing
program. Hospital Corporation
of America, the parent
company of Lake City Medical
Center, has generously donated
the funds for instructors'
salaries for two years, an
amount in excess of
$130,000."
Peggy Riley, chief nursing
officer for LCMC, said that,
"Part of HCA's mission is to
partner with their local
communities to create
opportunities to meet the
health care needs of that
community."
While Riley said they know
some of the program's
graduates will go to other
hospitals in Florida, this is still
in line with their mission to
serve their communities with
quality health care. In
addition, just last year LCMC
provided the college with a
"human patient simulator"
("SimMan") at a cost of
approximately $42,000 to use
in the classroom to teach their
nursing students. This
simulator will be a tremendous
asset to the program.
LCMC selected two students
from the current class to
receive full registered nursing
scholarships. Riley stated that
they received 16 applications
this year and that it was very
difficult to choose just two
because, "They were all
excellent candidates for the
scholarships."
There are a number of
programs in the area that
provide the cross-over bridge,
but many of those programs
require more in-class time and
take at least 15-18 months to
complete. The college feels

Reeves recognized for perfect attendance

On Aug. 9, the Union County School Board recognized Corey Reeves for having
perfect attendance from grades kindergarten through 12. "Corey never missed a day
and that's a remarkable accomplishment," said Superintendent Carlton Faulk (left).
The school board wanted to present the student with a plaque recognizing the
accomplishment, but his mother Margaret Reeves told the board he was already
away at college, so he still has not missed a day of school. She (middle right), along
with Corey's grandmother Joan Gartman (middle left), accepted the award on Corey's
behalf. Union County High School Principal Gall Lappalainen is pictured at right.

that the new programs will
complement the existing
programs and offer more

Lake Butler achieves ISO rating 4

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer
The city of Lake Butler
Volunteer Fire Department
recently received news that
will make many of the city's
homeowners happy.
On Aug. 23, Chief Mike
Banks received a letter from
Insurance Services Office, Inc.
that stated a revaluation of the
city's fire department found
that it qualified for a class 4
ISO rating. This is an
improvement of the class 7
rating the department had just
16 months ago. The rating is
known as the city's Public
Protection Class.
The survey rated how well
the city performed certain fire
department-related functions
such as receiving and handling
alarms. The quality of the
city's fire hydrant network and
the water volume and pressure
are also considered. The fire
department and its equipment
were also evaluated in the
survey.
In May 2004, ISO performed.

an inspection that brought the
department's rating from a 7 to
a 5. The evaluation gave the
city a score of 59.30. Being
just .7 of point from an
improved rating, Banks
convinced city officials to
spend about $4,000 to help the
department reach the next
level. The revaluation gave the
city a score of 62.65. A score
between 60 and 69.99 gave the
city the new classification.
The ISO's PPC program
evaluates communities
according to a uniform set of
criteria defined in the Fire
Suppression Rating Schedule
(FSRS). Using the FSRS, the
ISO reviews the fire
suppression capabilities of a
community and assigns them a
rating. The rating can be
anywhere from a 1 to 10. The
lower the number, the better
the rating.
In the survey, the fire alarm
and communications systems
account for 10 percent of the
score, the fire department
accounts for 50 percent of the
score and the water supply

system accounts for 40 percent
of the score. The survey looks
at certain functions within
these areas, then gives them
credits. In the area of receiving
and handling alarms, the
survey gave the city a 8.25 out
of a possible 10 credits. The
city's water supply ranked high
as well. It received 34.09 out
of possible 40 points.
The rating will benefit the
residents of the city the most.
Insurance companies that issue
homeowner's insurance use the
ratings as one of many factors,
to issue policies. The lower an
ISO rating, the more money a
policy holder saves on his or
hers insurance.
All other Union County
residents will continue to have
an ISO rating of 9. The city is
the only place in the county,
besides both prisons, that have
access to a fire hydrant system.
This is one of the main factors
in the city's rating.

presentation to city council
members in the near future.

the specified area.
"We can warn one city block
or the entire county," said
York. "The system is designed
to let us broadcast warnings in
only the areas they are
needed."
According to the ECN's
Web site, this is done using a
one-of-a-kind Internet
mapping system capable of
targeting calls geographically.
The freshly finished 911
mapping of the county enabled
officials to launch the system.
"This is just another one of
the many benefits residents
will seea a result of the new
mapping system," said York.
"The targeting of calls means
that residents that are not
affected by an emergency will
not'have to be bothered by it."
According to ECN's Web
site, the system is designed to
be deployed during a variety of
events. These include:
O Fires
o Floods
o Terrorism threats
o Bomb threats
o Gas leaks
O Missing children
o Drinking water
contamination
o Hazardous materials
emergencies
The most important event
Whitehead said he felt the
system could be used for was
that of prisoner escapes.
"If we ever have a prisoner-
escape form RMC or UCI, this
system will be vital for citizen
safety," said Whitehead. "We
can warn residents in a matter
of minutes, and the escapee
won't even know about it."
According to York, the
system has one unique feature
most others of its kind do not.

m

"Residents can go to the
ECN Web site and register as
many as three different
locations for them to be
warned," said York. "'So even
if you're at work or out
shopping, your office phone
and cell phone will be called
alerting residents to the
danger."
York said officials will test
the system in the very near
future.

EMS
Continued from p. 1A
August meeting, EMS Director
Allen Parrish gave the city the
chance to become first to
install the device.
"I would like to install the
first of these devices in the
Lakeside Community Center,"
said Parrish. "The location is
ideal because of not only the
events that take place in the
community center, but those
that take place around it as
well,"
Parrish referred to an
incident in recent weeks where
the device would have
benefited a resident greatly.
While he was not specific
about the incident, he did say
the -early intervention of an
AED would have- greatly
improved the situation.
According to Parrish, the
county is working to establish
a Public Access Defibrillation
program.
"The goal of the program is
to provide access, by the

public, to life-saving
equipment in the event of
sudden collapse," said Parrish.
"The target locations for the
placement of AEDs will be
public gathering areas, schools,
industrial complexes and other
heavily used public areas."
Parrish assured
commissioners that there
would be no cost to the
taxpayers of the city for the
program.
"All records, maintenance
and monthly inspections will
be the responsibility of EMS,"
said Parrish. "Obtaining the
devices will cost the city
nothing as well."
According to Parrish, his
department will receive the
AEDs through a grant
program. He. estimated the
devices would cost between
$2,000 and $2,500 each.
Studies- have shown the
devices to be critical in saving
the life of sudden cardiac arrest
patients. According to the Web
site early-defib.org, studies
conducted at cardiac
rehabilitation centers have

shown that when sudden
cardiac arrest victims receive
defibrillation within the first
one to two minutes, more than
90 percent survive to be
discharged from the hospital.
Those percentages go down
as time lapses. In a model
community, where rescue units
can reach a patient within six
minutes, the survival rate drops
to 45 percent. At seven ,
minutes it drops to 30 percent. '
Any patient who waits for
more than 10 minutes for
defibrillation has his or her
,chances diminish to just 5
percent.
Lake Butler Hospital
recently received a grant to
install six of the devices
throughout the hospital. While
the emergency department is
never far away, hospjtal--
officials cited the quicker a
patient can be defibrillated, the
more likely he or she is to
survive. The devices were paid
for with a grant.
Council members told
Parrish that the city's attorney,
John Maines, would review the

legal ramifications of such a
device being in the center. City
Manager Richard Tillis assured
Parrish the city would be quick
to respond to his request.

CRIME: _

Aaron West

Former
pastor held
on Internet

porno charge
S- A. -Tallahassee man was
arrested last wee. k.oncharges-of
possessing or transmitting
pornography to a minor.
Aaron Dale West, 49, was
arrested Aug. .25 at a
Tallahassee Wal-Mart, where he
was working after relocating
from the Bradford County area.
West is a former pastor of the
Faith Baptist Church of
Lawtey, according to Sgt.
Daniel Wolfe. West admitted
communicating in a chat room
on the Internet and sending
nude photos of a male other
than himself, claiming it was
West, Sgt. Wolfe said. West
had been communicating with
two' girls, ages 15 and 16, in
Manitowoc, Wis. since the
latter part of 2002, when he
was a pastor in the Lawtey
area.
A detective from Wisconsin
notified the Bradford County
Sheriff's office* that someone
from the area was sending niude
photos of a man and regularly
communicating with the minor
girls. West was identified as a
suspect and a local
investigation was conducted.
West signed a release
allowing deputies to confiscate
his personal computer/laptop
and related equipment. There
was -. other information
indicating West collected child
pornography, Sgt. W61fe said.
Although West, discussed
attempting to meet the girls,
no such meeting took place.
On Aug. 24 a warrant was
issued by the 8th Judicial
Circuit office 6f -the -state
attorney charging West with
one felony count.
West, who was living in
Tallahassee, was located by
Leon County authorities and
placed under arrest. He remains
in custody under a $50,000
bond and will be transported to
Bradford for appearance before a
judge. West has no pre ious
__arrest--hiitorv, according to-
Sheriff Bob Milner.- -
"It is criminal and sickening
anytime an adult establishes a
lewd or indecent relationship
with a minor, but it is even
more appalling when an
authority figure such as a
pastor is involved," Sheriff
Milner said. "It brings about an
Unwarranted disregard for church
leaders and casts a long shadow,
even though just one person
committed the act.
This stands as a warning to
all parents to be keenly aware
of the use of computers by
their children. While teenagers
want a modicum of privacy and
trust, parents should be able to
see what chat rooms and
Internet sites their kids are
visiting."

Since time began, man has been
attempting to look into the future with
little success, but that hasn't kept him
from trying. Many times the big events
of history come'upon us quietly and
with little notice, and we wonder how
we could have missed their coming.
We understand that earthquakes and
tornadoes befall us without advance'
notice, but most big changes in life or
society "cast their shadows before-
them" according to a cigarette ad from
the long ago, and we make preparation
for the changes, but not every time.
The greatest upheaval in American
sciciety arrived in the decade of the
1960s, when a black woman, Rosa
Parks, refused to relinquish her seat on
a Birmingham bus for a white woman
and move to the back of the bus.
There had been earlier bloody
confrontations with lav enforcement
officers in Birmingham and Anniston,
Ala., but this rather insignificant event
set off a struggle that culminated in
national integration. -- -
Looking back from the perspective
of a new generation, one wonders why
national leaders didn't foresee the
coming challenges and defuse the
problem without having the nation
endure cultural changes through
violence and suffering. Perhaps the
custom was so ingrained it couldn't
- have been changed otherwise, but no
one in his right mind would ever
suggest we return to segregation. -
An upheaval of staggering
proportions is already_ under way and
may be predictable as the sun rising
tomorrow; the browning of America.
Already social engineers are seeing
children of mixed parentage, and, with
the increasing number of Latinos
entering the country, it is easy to
foresee a darkening of skin color"
throughout the nation.
America has had mixed people of
dIff~tring nationalities ^siqcbthe. erly-
days and couples bf differeiinLraces are
being seen in more settings each year
as people are thrown together in
schools, workplaces and churches. The
Raiford Road in northwest Starke is
becoming an integrated neighborhood
as black families build or buy homes in
the area, and the change is peaceful
and without malice. This trend will
continue at a measured pace for a time,
but will escalate as black families
reach pariy with whites in family
income.
There are some-disturbing signs on
the horizon that may be harbingers of
difficult times in the United States.
The fact (I take it to be a fact) that
General Motors and Ford have a
retirement and health' insurance
package costing $1,500 per car will
eventually drive automotive
manufacturing off-shore, and that will
be a devastating blow to the American
economy. To renounce their pension

plan for workers is unthinkable, yet the
present course cannot be maintained.
Foreign car makers are already
outselling American-built brands, but
preaching patriotism to car buyers
won't reverse the trend, so what to do?
Automobile owners in England and
Western Europe have been paying the
equivalent of $3 per gallon for
gasoline for years and have adjusted
by buying and driving small cars.
While Americans revere their large-
cars, in all likelihood the era of the
large V-10s and V-8s is on its way out,
and smaller cars will be in. The gas
shortage in 1973 almost bankrupted
the American automobile industry and
opened the door for Japan to get its
foot in the American transportation
door. While Americans have adjusted
their budgets for the spike in gasoline
prices and continue to increase gas
consumption, the .day is rapidly-
approaching foran individual decrease,
in-gas purchases.
The inflation in real estate prices
represents a deep concern to some old-
timers that remember the Florida land
boom of the mid 1920s, when the price
of Florida real estate dropped
overnight, leaving many people with
deeds to worthless property. HoIme
ownership is desirable for every.
family, but buying or building a home
beyond one's means is risky, to say the
least. Taxes, utilities and upkeep tend
to increase from year to year, and may'
become too expensive to live with
after retirement.
A long-range problem over which
we have no control is building in the
east as China swings into the 21st
century, emphasizing the sciences in
education and moving rapidly to
become the largest market in the
world. Not only will the Americas be
swamped by the enormity of the China
market, the two Americas will become
the nuniSgr thritrmarketifn Wn vW&rll.d .
,as Western Europe becomes united atid'
takes over the number two position.
The United States has lost the textile
industry, the steel industry, the
electronics manufacturing industry.
(there isn't a computer made in the
U.S. today) and bids to lose others,
,while "One-World" supporters
proclaim the United States will be the
"information" center of the world.
When we get into another war, what
will we- do?-Throw computers at the
enemy? World Wars I and II were won
by the tremendous production capacity
of American factories, a lesson we
forget at our own peril.
Today it was reported on the radio
that American 15-year-olds rate
number 38 worldwide in knowledge of
mathematics. Doesn't that give you a
warm, fuzzy feeling?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Officials may
not
understand
FMPA's role
Dear Editor:
Starke's city leaders appear to
be taking an increased interest
in the city's municipa.leJectric-
system and its wholesale power
provider, the Florida Municipal
Power Agency (FMPA). As
the director of 'a fellow
municipal utility and an
FMPA member, I applaud their
focus on this essential public
service. However, based on
public comments reported in
this newspaper, it seems as if
Starke's city officials may have
a misunderstanding of their role
in FMPA's management, and I
believe that Starke's citizens
might be better served .if that
misunderstanding was
corrected.
Residents of Starke may be
surprised to learn that FMPA
is not an independent, for-profit
company. FMPA is, in fact,
owned by the city of Starke, as
well as 28 other cities
throughout the state of Florida.
The cities who are FMPA's
owners and customers-we
refer to ourselves simply as

is only as good as its member
cities strive to make it.
Personally, I think FMPA's
Board of Directors is working
hard to address challenges in
today's electric utility business
for the mutual benefit of our
communities. If Starke's city
leaders _disagree with this
assessment, then they owe it to
their citizens to become
informed, become involved and
become part of the solution.

"members"--Control FMPA's
operations primarily by
appointing Representatives to
FMPA's Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors builds
consensus to make decisions
about both the overall business
strategy of FMPA, as well as
guiding the major activities of
FMPA staff.
It is equally-important to
note that besides each city's

many other people in -our

with FMPA. Both employees
and local elected officials from

significant contributions of
time, talent and wisdom to
FMPA.
Starke's city manager and
Representative on the FMPA
Board, Ken Sauer, recently
joined FMPA's Executive
Committee, a very active iib-

would encourage other
interested parties, such as your
city attorney or 'city
commissioners, to join him at
some of the Committee's
meetings to become involved
themselves. Starke is an owner

Magic Bubble' provides

f light. (or f loat) of fancy

By MARCIA MILLER
Telegraph Staff Writer
Are you ready for a flight of pure fantasy.' Then
step out of your everyday existence and join
Samantha for a ride in a magic bubble that will
take you straight to the moon.
Samantha, a normal human teenager, joins
Image, a somewhat abnormal something-or-other
(no one seems to know just what), on a quest to
save the magic crystal owned by the Man in the
Moon.
The unlikely pair are deputized to combat the
evil Vultaura, \-ho is during to extinguish the light
the magic crystal provides. Without light. all the

magical creatures who live on the moon will
perish-and so will many of the normal creatures
who live on the Earth.
"The Magic Bubble" uses music, dialogue and
fanciful costumes to tell a story that should delight
both children and adults. The play will be
performed by the Lake Region Community
Theatre (LRCT) for one w weekend only, Sept. 9-11,
at the Keystone Heights Woman's Club.
Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.
and Sunday at 2 p.m.
Ticket donations are $10 for adults, $8 for
senior citizens 55 or older and $6 for children 12
and under. For reservations, call (352) 215-2422.
Advance tickets can be purchased at George
Roberts Insurance on Lawrence Boulevard in
Keystone.
Tickets can
also be
purchased at
the door, if
they remain

Growth just one factor in rising property values in BC

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer

Traffic on U.S. 301 suggests
'more and more people pass
through Bradford County on
their way to somewhere else,
but more and more people are
also choosing to stop in the
county and make their homes
there, which is one of the
factors that has led to the
increase of both property and
home values.
Tom Smith, owner of
Coldwell Banker Smith and
Smith Realty, said there was a
time when it was unusual to
have a house sell for $100.000,
in Bradford County. Now, he
says it's not unusual to see
houses going anywhere from
-$200,000 to $300,000.
"In general, I'd say the
-prices in the last five years
.have probably gone up, on
.average, about 10 percent a
year," Smith said.
Smith said he has seen a big
jump in raw -land values,
especially in the last 18
months. A piece of land that
may have sold for $2,500-
$3,000 an acre a couple of
years ago can now go for
$7,500-$ 10,000 an acre.
One factor that has
contributed to those increases
is the influx of people moving
into the county. Smith said
many people from south
Florida, after last year's
hurricanes, have been looking
for another area of the state to
move to.
"(Those people) still want to
be in Florida, but they don't
necessarily want to be in south
Florida," Smith said. "We're
seeing a lot of people from
south Florida coming up this

way." Florida continues to attract South Floridians are not people. Fl

property has---

appreciated

since 2000

By JAMES WILLIAMS
LRM Editor

How much have property
values appreciated since 2000?
To answer the question, the
Clay County Property
Assessor's office provided
information to deri.e the
steady increase in assessed
property values in Keystone
and Clay County. -
Dean Weaver of Watson
Realty provided a small,
random sample of properties
resold by Watson on two or
more occasions within the last
five years. This gave a rough
approximation of the increase
in market price-not the
assessed value-in percentage
and in dollars.
The Real Estate Multiple
Listing Network Web site.
maintained by Lloyd Green
and participating real estate
brokers listed all properties for
sale at a given moment by the
member brokers. While the
MLN Web site does not
.. provide historical information.
like the Watson Realty figures
did, it showed a general
approximation of market
values of various types of
properties today.
The data provided by Roger
Suggs of the County Tax
Assessor's office showed that
Keystone's real property
values increased by 45 percent
since 2000, with tangible
property values declining at -2
percent.
According to the appraiser's
figures, the two values
combined left a 36 percent
increase of Keystone's
property values from 2000 to
2005. These figures are not
adjusted for the rate of
inflation which is tied, in turn.
to increases in the consumer
price index.
Comparable data for all of
Clay County showed assessed
real property values had risen
by 81 percent countywide in
the last five years. The
county's tangible property
values had risen by 10 percent
during the same period, with a
combined total increase of 72
percent since 2000.

Bradford County and has never
.. --lived anywhere else for more
than a few months. Through
the years, she has been
involved in so many projects
and programs that it would be
S-impossible to name them all;-
but in recent years her efforts
have been aimed mainly at
assisting crime victims.
Alvarez was appointed as
the crime victims' advocate for
the Bradford State Attorney's
Office in April of .this year,'
but she has been an advocate
for crime victims for many
years--she just never got paid
for it before.
She worked for a number of
years in a clerical position
with the Department .of.
Children and Families. She
was not an investigator or a
caseworker, but she saw the
families come into the office
and knew they had needs,
some of which DCF could
meet and some it could not.
Alvarez was an outspoken
advocate for the families who
came into the office. She said
she realized the caseworkers
had to adhere to department
guidelines and had to be very
U"politically correct," so there
Were limits to what'they could
do to help the families.
If a family had needs DCF
could not really meet, Alvarez
did not hesitate to put them in
touch with some other
organization or group who
might be able to meet those
needs. She would even use
church and other contacts of
her own to help meet the
needs of the families who
came in. Even s.o, not every
need could be met.
"There were days when I
just went home and cried and
cried," she said. "No one at the
-office knew that I went home
and cried, but there were times
when I thought that I just
couldn't go back and see
people ith such needs. I
S-."a.lwa-s did, though. I always
went back."
In 1998, the Bradford
County Domestic Violence
'. Task Force was formed with
'he idea of+ bringing together
representatives of all the
agencies andda organizations
who could assist domestic
violence victimss in any way.
The task force asked DCF for
a representative and her boss
asked Alvarez to go.
"I initially went just
because mi boss said so," said
Alvarez, "but I thought it was
a great idea, so I got really
involved."

Nancy Alvarez holds up one of several T-shirts
designed by local domestic violence victims. The
victims were trying to describe how they felt about
domestic violence. '

The task force was designed -
to do on a larger scale what
Alvarez had been doing on a
small scale for several years.
The group provided for a
cooperation between all the
groups that were involved
with domestic violence
victims, from law enforcement
to counselors, to shelters, to
job placement programs.
Locally, the group also
raised funds to provide for
education programs aimed at
helping to prevent domestic
violence. Funds were also used
to assist local victims in
getting out of abusive
situations.
Alvarez has worked with the
task force since 1998 and has

served the group as chairman
more than once.
"No one wants to admit that
domestic violence happens in
their area," said Alvarez. "'If
they do know it happens, then
they think law enforcement or
someone else needs to take
care of it. People don't see
domestic violence that
happens to other people as
something they need to get
involved in."
Alvarez said people judge
others based on their own
experiences. "Not everyone
has a perfect, wonderful life."
she said. "There are a lot of
issues out there. If you're not
involved in other people's
lives, you go around thinking

that everyone lives pretty
much like you do. They don't.
Not every parent is like June
and Ward Cleaver."
Alvarez defines the task
force as a "bunch of people
who try to help victims." Her
dedicated work as one of that
"bunch" brought her to the
attention of the state attorney's
office when it was searching
for a new victim advocate.
-Alvarez took the job and said
she loves it. She is now
working full time to help
victims of all types of crime
in addition to continuing to
serve as a volunteer on the
task force.
"I can now do what I always
w--anted to do at DCF.., and I
-get paid for it," she said."
The SAs- victim advocate
helps -crime victims through
the court process. "I explain
-what is happening each step of
the way and explain their role
in what is happening," said
Alvarez. "Some crime victims
come in here and don't have a
clue as to what is going to
happen. They're scared to
death."
She said she explains things
.and lets them know they have
nothing to fear. "They're the
victims. -They haven't done
anything wrong," she said.
Alvarez said she is
-particularly proud of .Project
Payback, which is sponsored
by the state attorney's-office.
Every time a person is found
guilty of a crime, $50 .of the
court costs go into a crime
compensation fund that is
aimed at helping victims of
crime.
Part of that money funds
Project Payback. When
juveniles are found guilty of
crimes and ordered to pay
restitution to the victim, it is
often the parents who actually
pay the bill.
"The parents didn't cause
that %ictim's loss, the young
person did." said Alvarez. ]f
that young person is of legal
working age, he or she can get
a job and earn the money to
pay the victim back, but a
young person under 16 carnt
do that.
Project Payback works. with
juveniles who are -under 16.
SFor example, a 10-year-old

who vandalizes a .home can
work for nonprofit
organizations, churches and
governmental agencies doing
community service activities.
Project Payback pays
minimum wage for the
community service hours, but
not to the 10-year-old-to the
victim of the his or her crime.
"It's a. win-win situation.
The victim gets the money
back for the loss the juvenile
caused, the juvenile learns to
take responsibility for his own
actions and the church or
nonprofit organization gets the
assistance it needs," .said
Alvarez.
- in addition to working hard
as an advocate for victims of
domestic violence and other"
crimes, Alvarez serves on the
board of directors'for the State
Housing -Initiative Program
(SHIP); which provides decent
homes for. low-income people.
She is active with the
Salvation Army and is also
very active in her church, the
Sampson City Church of God.
Alvarez also discovered a'
love of acting when she
auditioned for a local theater
group in 2000. She has
appeared in every production
the Lake Region Community

Theatre has put on since that
time, including "A Christmas
Carol", "The Christmas
Chair", "Murder on Center
Stage", "Good Night
Caroline", "Home at Six",
"The Kentucky Marriage
Proposal" and other
productions.
She is also currently:
rehearsing for the group's
upcoming production, "Magic'
Bubble".
The theater is important to
Alvarez. She said the
experience, of seeing a play on
a stage is special. "If you see a
movie, then you've seen a
movie. If you see a play, then
you've livedLan experience,"'
she said.
Being involved in the'
theater, the church and all the,'
other activities she finds time'
for requires a lot of that energy:
Alvarez seems to have.
"It just struck me one day to,*
go to the auditions; I thought'
it should be fun and I like to
stay busy," she said. Anyone
who knows her can tell'you
that is a big understatement.
"Some days I go home so
tired, but it all just fills me
up," she said. "It's fun and
you only go around once, so
you may as well have fun
doing it."

Field conditions put halt to Union-Madison matchup

By JAMES REDMOND
Times Staff Writer

The first game of the season
for the Union County Tigers is
now in the record
books-well, not. really, with
the reason being that the game
was called after severe weather
sent both teams into the locker
rooms with the visiting
Madison County Cowboys
leading 17-14.
Lightning in the area had
school officials and the
officiating crew worried about
the safety of all involved. With
7:20 left in the second quarter,
everyone was asked to seek
shelter until the storm had
passed.
As the storm cell sat over
Tiger Stadium the clouds
opened and deluged the field
with massive amounts of

water. When the storm
subsided, officials inspected
the field and declared it unsafe
to play on. The field was
already wet from rains earlier
in the day.
According to the National
Weather Service, a line of
showers that had moved
through the area just three
hours before kickoff had
dumped more than an inch of
rain on the area. In the interest
of safety, officials called the
contest and said it would not
count.
While both coaches were
visibly disappointed with the
cancellation, each understood
the reasoning behind it.
"The referee said if this Was
a district game we might get
after it after another half an
hour, but it's not so he said
there was really no use,"
Union County head coach

Buddy Nobles said. "The
earlier storms did not help."
The only effect the game
will have on either team is on
statistics. The Tigers' statistics.
won't show that C.J. Spiller
dashed 65 yards on the game's
opening play for a touchdown.
They also won't reflect the 40-
yard pass Spiller caught from
Austen Roberts for a
touchdown.
Spiller had more than 130
all-purpose yards before the
contest was cancelled.
While the statistics won't
show how well the offense
performed, they also won't

show how many yards the
defense gave up, either. The
Cowboys were able to move
the ball 182 yards in the short
time the teams had to play-it
averaged out to more than 9
yards per carry.
"They took it to us on the
fronts," Nobles said, referring
to the fact that the Cowboys
controlled both the offensive
and. defensive lines of the
Tigers. Spiller's two key plays
kept the ballgame close.
The Cowboys scored
touchdowns on a 2-yard run by
Harry Reddick and a I-yard
quarterback keeper by Fred

Johnson. Leo Ballera's 37-yard
field goal gave the Cowboys a
17-14 lead. It also turned out
to be the final play of the
contest.
The only consolation the
defense could find was that it
was matched up with a potent
Cowboys team. Madison-
County went 11-1 last season,
and finished as Class 2A state
runner-up. The Cowboys
defeated Bradford for a shot at
the 2A title.
Friday night's rain was not
the only dampening the Tigers
received this week. The team.
learned that senior starting

linebacker Austin Emery will
be lost for the entire season
. due to a shoulder injury.` It is
unclear if he will be able to
return if the Tigers find
themselves in the playoffs.
With all the rain came one
glimmer of sunshine this week.
Depending on doctors'
recommendations, senior
offensive lineman Darin
Hendricks could see action
against the South Sumter
Raiders this Friday night.
Hendricks injured his knee
prior to the start of the season
and was thought to be lost for
the season.

One might say the Keystone
Heights Indians got off on the
right "feet" in their opening
game at Branford on Aug.26 as
they trounced the Buccaneers
36-6.
The feet in question
belonged to Greg Taylor,
Michael Williams and Wil
Breton, who broke off
touchdown runs of 62, 82 and
56 yards, respectively.
Keystone's offensive attack
wasn't limited to the running
backs going through
Branford's defense like a hot
knife through melting butter. It
was well augmented by the
passing of quarterback Blake
Lott, who connected
repeatedly with receiver Josh
Mangus in a manner that
recalled last year's successful
pass.duo of quarterback Tyler
Davis and wide receiver Chad
S Hapner.
S As. fruitful as the Indians'
offense was, Branford's was
conversely barren against
Keystone's defense-
especially in the first half
which witnessed the
Buccaneers scoring no points,
'making no first downs and
being limited to 1 net yard.
Branford was at a decided
disadvantage, having to call on
third-string quarterback Tim
Clark, a 14-year-old ninth-
grader, since its injured first-
stringer didn't suit up and his
backup, Tyler Byrd, was
injured early in the first
quarter.

This year's Keystone
Heights volleyball team is off
to another fast start early,
having won its first three
matches, including a 3-0 (25-
12, 25-21, 25-9) win over
Ridgeview on Aug. 29 in
OrangePark.
The Indians, who won six of
their first seven matches last
season, got 20 assists from
Jessica Ford and. 12 kills fror6
Mallorie Wasik in the win over
Ridgeview. Ford and Wasik
are averaging 23.3 assists and
11.7 kills per match,
respectively, in this still early
season.
Ford also had two blocks,
while Jessica Whitfield led the
team with three. Cassandra
Bruey led the team with nine
digs and Brenda Ward had
three service aces.
Ridgeview became the
second Class 4A team to be
defeated by the Class 3A
Indians this season. Keystone
opened the season with a 3-1
(25-22, 25-15, 23-25, 33-31)
win over Menendez on Aug.'
23 in St. Augustine.
Ford tallied 31 assists and
she and Wasik each had 15
kills. Kim Russell had 18
service points and Whitfield
had six aces.
Defeating larger schools is a
nice accomplishment, but
Keystone's 3-0 (25-11., 25-9.
25-21) win over host
Interlachen on Aug. 25 was
more important as it got the
Indians off to a' 1-0 start in
S District 6.
Ford had 19 assists, ,18
service points, six kills and
five digs against the Rams,
while Wasik had eight kills,
four digs and two service aces.
Whitfield had six aces and five
kills.

After both teams went three-
and-out on their opening
series, the Indians went on the
warpath, starting on their own
15-yard line. Featuring two
completions to Mangus
covering 22 yards, the drive
was, capped by a 62-yard run
by Taylor, who finessed his
way .through Branford's
Interior defense,: found a
gaping hole and switched, on
his afterburners. He reached
pay dirt at 5:55 of the first
quarter, putting the Indians out
in front 7-0.
While the Indians' defense
kept the Buccaneers' offense
tightly bottled up, their offense

game against Providence was
postponed because of
inclement weather.
Baldwin lost some key
members-including the
quarterback, a running back
and a wide' receiver-of its
offense from last year.
However, the defense does
return five players who can
step'in at linebacker, as' wellt
having an experienced
defensive' 'ehd and an
experienced safety.

scored its second touchdown at
4:05 of the second quarter as
Taylor carried the ball from
the 7-yard line, sweeping wide
left and beating defenders to
the corner of the end, zone.
This drive, which increased the
lead to 14-0, began at. the.
Bucs' 45 and was highlighted
by three runs by Breton
covering 30 yards.
The Indians, after getting the
ball right back at the Branford
18 because of: a fumble, blew a
golden opportunity to add to
their lead by committing three
penalties, the last of which,
nullified a diving touchdown
reception by Lans Hardin.

Nine players from the spring
who were supposed to be
starters won't play, as they
either left the team or' were
dismissed from the team.
Keystone head coach Chuck
Dickinson said Baldwin has an
"explosive offense" that likes

Branford again gifted
Keystone with the ball -on the
former's 25 after failing to run
out the clock in the first half.
This gave placekicker Michael
McLeod, after a 10-yard run
by Taylor. the opportunity to
drill a 32-yard field goal
through the uprights as the
clock ran out on the half, at
which point Keystone held a
17-0 lead.
The Bucs picked up where
the\ left off in the first half,
going three-and-out on their
first series of the second half.
Keystone. taking over on
Branford's 43, began a drive
which culminated in the team's
third touchdown. Crucial to the
series was Mangus, who, on
third-and-12, again was found
wide open bs Lott in the left
flat.. Mangus sidestepped a
tackler on his way 'to a 20-yard
gain down to the Bucs' 25.
From there, a 7-yard reception
and a 9-yard scamper, both by
Taylor,-placed the ball at-the

0.
Branford, despite achieving
its first first down of the game
on the following series, was
forced to punt on fourth down
from midfield. The punt was
fielded by Williams at his own
18 near the right sideline. He
then swept left on a long arc
past all Branford defenders and
ran the ball 82 yards for a
touchdown without a defender
laying a hand on him, giving
Keystone 30 points to
Branford's zero at 2:22 of the
third quarter. -
After again shutting down
Branford, Breton took a
handoff on second-and-16
from Lott at his own 44 and
tore through the defense on his,
way to a 56-yard touchdown
dash at 11:48 of the fourth
quarter, putting Keystone up
36-0.
Branford's sole touchdown
came on the following series
as Bucs running back Willie'
Daies romped 56 yards from
his own 21' to Keystone's 23.
From there, the Bucs'

deflected by a Keystone player
and the score then stood, as it
did at the closing whistle, at
36-6.

Labor Day
weekend

By JOHN WHITFIELD
Contributing Outdoors
Editor
For many outdoorsmen and
women, the Labor Day
weekend marks the unofficial
end to summer and the
beginning of fall-yes, even
here in north central Florida.
With 90-degree days, a heat
index often in the hundreds.
those pop-up afternoon and
evening thundershowers, bahia
grass that just won't quit
growing and humidity so thick

.-that you'd think it would
grouiTd those mosquitos (I
wish)-one would think that
summer just won't let.go.
But it will and, before you
kno" it. we will be hearing of
a fall trout and redfish run,
somebody will catch a bunch
of specks and you'll see the
bow hunters out practicing for
the opening day of archery
season (Sept. 24).
The fall hunting and fishing
season is coming.

A $3,500 fish?
That's right. Jodi Marriott
and Steve Gray caught just one
bass, an 8.74-pounder, in last
week's grand finale to the
Little Lake Santa Fe Bass
Classic and they won it all!

Marriott and Gray won the
classic by catching the largest
single bass and winning the
total aggregate category with'
the most total weight, taking
the classic's top .prize of
$3,575.
Thirty-seven boats, with 72
anglers, entered the classic,
launching at 6:35 p.m., with a
9:30 p.m. check-in. Coming in
second place, and winning
$1,000, was the term of Wally
Johns and Chris Kadler with
6.12 pounds. John Acree
placed third with 5.54 pounds
and won $444.
Local anglers won more than
$5,000 in this year's
tournament. A special thanks.
.to Joey Tyson, tournament
director, for administering this
fine tournament for our
outdoor and fishing
community.

Akridge, Jackson win
Also, Keystone Heights
angler Paul Akridge. `ho had
also placed several times in the
Little Lake Santa Fe Bass
Classic, along with San Mateo
partner Mike Jackson. recently
won the River City Trails bass
tournament over at the Crystal
Co'e Marina. They' caught one
last large fish just before

weigh-in and. fortunately, that
fish pushed them to the top in
total weight-25.27 pounds
with eight fish weighed.
Congratulations to all the
local anglers who fished,
placed and participated, 'in
these tournaments. With all
this great tournament action,
and the water filling up our_
lakes, the Lake Area Region is
again, regaining its status as a
great place to fish.
Happy Labor Day to all of
,our readers and their families.
Enjoy this weekend and let us
hear of your fishing, hunting
and camping success'. Take a
picture and send it in. Be safe.
Enjoy the Outdoors!

home values. Smith and
Alvarez both agree on one
significant factor.
"One-is low interest rates,
which have really driven
values, said Alvarez, who
'said his office has recorded
median sales prices increasing
from $65,025 in 2003 to
$78,795 in 2004. "It's made
real estate one of the few,
places where you can invest
money and hope to have a
fairly good return."
Said Smith: "People can
afford to borrow more money.
The payments are less because
of the low interest rates."
Alvarez said last year's
hurricanes also had another
effect other than just causing
south Floridians to consider
other places to live-they
created shortages of building
materials. That, in turn, caused
the costs of those material to
increase.
"The cost of reproducing
any kind of improvement to
real property jumped up
practically overnight, or at
least in the space of a few
months," Alvarez said.
Then there is the fact that
Bradford County is simply
catching up with other areas of
the state. As Smith put it, the

county was one of the last
bastions in the state with low
prices.
"We have' had traditionally
low land values-raw
land-for a long time,"
Alvarez said. "We're just
really catching up with some
other areas of Florida that are
very close to us."
Alvarez feels Bradford
County i$ on the verge of
tremendous growth and he and
Smith both stress that it is
important for the county to be
ready for that growth. Smith
feels there are issues with the
Bradford County schools,
which do not fare well when
compared tq other counties,
that need to be addressed.
People moving into the area
always ask about the condition
of the schools, Smith said.
Alvarez said the growth is
something all county entities
have to look at and prepare for.
"Many of the small counties
around us have sort of gotten
blindsided by growth,"
Alvarez said. "They were
caught unawares and were ill
prepared. Sometimes it was
their fault, sometimes it
wasn't.
"If we get caught flat-footed,
we can hardly say we didn't
see it coming because it's all
around us. We just need to ,
start planning for it and take
whatever steps necessary to be
ready for it."

Tornadoes have trouble kicking, scoring in 13-12 loss

By CLIFF SMELLEY
Telegraph Staff Writer
The offense struggled,
squandering several scoring
opportunities, and the kicking
game proved to be disastrous
as the Bradford Tornadoes
opened the regular season with
a 13-12 overtime loss to
visiting Fernandina Beach on
Aug. 26.
Bradford failed to come
away with any points on first-
and-goal opportunities from
the 2 and the 10 and also failed
to score on another possession
inside the Fernandina 20.'
Also, the Tornadoes had one.
field goal and two extra-point.
attempts blocked. Fernandina
returned the blocked field goal
for a touchdown to go up 6-0
as time expired in the second
half.
The two blocked extra
points ultimately set up
overtime and resulted in the
loss when the Pirates were able
to answer Bradford's score in
overtime and convert on their
PAT.
"We just didn't block very
well up front. That, was part of
it," Bradford head coach Chad
Bankston said of the team's
kicking problems.
Bradford had the first
possession during the Kansas

Chuckle Covington and Kevin Randolph bring down
Fernandina Beach's Terrell Dallas as Bradford's
Corian Garrison (far right) moves in to finish the
play.

City tiebreaker. A 6-yard
reception by Marcus. Wilson
set up fourth down from the 3

and James Jamison, bouncing
off of several defenders, found
his way into the end zone from

there. The snap was
mishandled on the PAT and
the kick was blocked.
Two plays were all the
Pirates needed to.score. Terrell
Dallas carried the ball both
times, the second a 2-yard
plunge into the end zone.
Kicker Max Shaw connected
on the PAT to give the Pirates
the win.
Fernandina's score in
overtime and the Tornadoes'
offensive and kicking woes-
overshadowed a dominant
performance by the defense.
Bradford gave up 88 yards and
five first downs.
The Pirates only averaged
2.4 yards per rushing attempt,
but Bradford did not fare much
better, averaging 2.7 yards per
attempt. Bradford running
backs combined to rush for
just 18 yards, but quarterback
J.R. Petteway did rush for 85
yards. One of his carries was a
34-yard touchdown that tied
the game at 6-all with 2:59 to
play in the third quarter.
However, the Tornadoes had
more opportunities to score,
but failed to do so inside the
red zone.
Pass receptions of 42 and 13
yards by Rob Harris and
Wilson, respectively, and a 15-
yard run by Jamison gave the
Tornadoes a first-and-goal at
the 10 on their third possession
of the game. The result of the

BHS volleyball
team opens
with win
It was a successful opener
for the Bradford Tornadoes,
who got, the volleyball season
started With a 3-0 (25-20, 25-
13, 25-15) win over visiting
Hamilton County on Aug. 25.
Destiny Bass led the
Bradford attack by compiling
seven kills, while Katheryn
. Banks had a team-high 11
digs.
The Tornadoes played
district opponent Santa Fe on
Tuesday and will host district
opponent Baker County on
Thursday, -Sept. 1, at 6 p.m.
following a junior varsity
game at 5 p.m.

Tornadoes' next four plays
were a loss of 2 yards on a
running play, a dropped pass in
the end zone, a quarterback
sack of 9 yards and an
incomplete pass.
"We're young right now and
we're trying to overcome some
of that," Bankston said of his
offensive unit's struggles. "We
just weren't able to punch it in
down in the red zone."
Bradford's last possession of
the first half was a perfect
example of that.
Jamison had an interception
return of 49 yards that gave the

Tornadoes the ball at the
Fernandina 6-yard line.
Bradford lost 17 yards on its
first two offensive plays, from
there on a quarterback sack
and a fumble.
A pass interference penalty
on fourth down by the Pirates
gave the Tornadoes a first
down at the 12. D.J. McBride
then had a carry of 7:yards and
two plays later, the Pirates
were flagged fori being
offsides, resulting in first-and-
goal at the 2. '

KEYSTONE
Continued from p. 1C

"or smaller part in the increase
in county values? Subtracting
Keystone's values from county
values produced no change in
percentage increases in real or
tangible county increases, nor
in Clay's combined totals.
That is, with or without
Keystone's values included,
the county's percentage
increases remained the same.
According to the Financial
Trend Forecaster, the rate of
inflation, tagged to the
consumer price index,. has
risen b\ 12.97 percent since
2000 When 2005 values are
measured against 2000 dollars,
the absolute rate of increase in
total real estate values in the
last fi\e sears has been 60
percent counts \\ ide.
When the same inflation rate
is factored into the county
appraiser's figures. Keystone
has seen an aLeraged 13
percent increase in assessed
real and tangible property
\alues during the last fi\e
years.
The Watson Realt) figures
suggest a different story.
although the methods of
calculation are a little
unreliable. Watson Realty
provided 10 examples of
properties that had been sold
three times o'er the last few
sears, some going back to the
late 1990s. While eight of the
properties had more or less
expected rates of increase, tio
were anomalies One property
jumped from a %6.500 sale to a
$120,000 \alue at its second
sale, with the assumption that a
house "%as built on the
property in the interim.
Another property's first sale
listed an asking price of %100i
The .assumption is that
property was transferred fromF
one family member to another.
but in both cases, using the
information without
adjustments ske" s the rate of
appreciation if averaged into
other figures
Computed increases for the
other eight properties, found
. an annual averaged increase in
market values of 7 percent per
year since each property's base
year. This led to a total
increase in market \alues since
roughly \ 1996 of 8-4 percent.

When anomalies were
eliminated, and the most recent
asking price was calculated
against its earliest price
recorded, market increases
averaged as much as 116
percent.
, Finally, the MLN Web site
provided information on
properties for sale on one day
during the first part of August.
All waterfront properties was
isolated from others in the list,
assuming those premium
properties would skew, the
price of all other types
upwards. All 60 of the other
properties then had an
averaged current asking price
of $24.591 per acre.
The properties were then
divided into four i1pes of
undeveloped lot.,: waterfront,
acreage. mobile home and
residential. EmptN lots in the
waterfront category averaged
$45.043 Acreage went for
$15.813 Mobile home lots
went for $28.663.. and
residential lots were going for
$36.221 per acre.
Local realtors hate offered
numerous reasons for the
recent interest in Lake Area
real estate. Among them are
South Florida people moving
north to escape
overdevelopment and frequent
hurricanes. Others ha'e
suggested Internet access has
fueled a market well outside
the area. with home buyers and
investors from other states.
Canada, and e'en Europe
snapping up properties in
North Florida. Some realtors
cite the 911 disaster. An aging
population and the rising cost
of home heating have also
been noted.
The September/October
edition of the American
Association of Retired
Persons' magazine also noted
that one out of ever\ three
homes purchased in the U.S. is
a second home, bought by
Americans aged 55 to 64. Sale
prices of second homes hate
jumped b) 25 percent since
2001, with increases as much
as 56 percent in Cape Coral.
Fast of the heels of the
housing bubble is the distinct
possibility that it might burst.
If a sharp downturn in the
economy) came along, new and
second homebuyers could be
stuck with -high mortgage
payments and shrinking
income.

Continued from p. 6C

Instead of punching the ball
in the end zone from there, the
Tornadoes committed an
illegal procedure penalty on
first do" n and McBride was
dropped for a 6-yard loss on
second down
On third down. the Pirate_;
%%ere flagged for pass,

Bradford first-and-goal at the
7 A subsequent
unsportsmanlike conduct
penalty mo\ed the ball to the

Baker County, like
Bradford, is coming off of a
season-opening loss (10-9
against Middleburg). The
Wildcats, a Class 3A team,
return seven starters on offense
from last season and two on
defense.
Four of the Wildcats'
starters on offense are linemen,.
which should be good news to -
retuiifing running backs
Eugene Murriell and Jonathan
Trippett, who are both seniors.
Senior Craig Yarborough

never made a serious scoring
threat in regulation. Bradford's
defense refused to allow the
Pirates to build on the
momentum they carried into
halftime. Fernandina's first
two possessions of the second
half saw Wilson sack the
quarterback for an 8-yard loss,
which forced the Pirates to
punt, and Kadeem Leserson
intercept a pass
Bradford finally scored on
its second possession of the
second half. The drive did not
start out promising as Rob
Harris %was dropped for a 2-
yard loss. but Petteway then
scrambled for a 15-yard gain
to the Fernandina 42. Three
plays later. Petteway eluded
defensive pressure and broke
free along the sideline for a 34-
yard touchdown run to tie the
game.
It was the footwork of
Pettea.ay again that put the
Tornadoes in scoring position
during the last two minutes of
the game. He had a 44-Nard
run to the Fernandina 29. A
subsequent penalty gave the
Tornadoes first-and-5 at the
19. McBride had a 2-yard run,
but the next two plays were an
incomplete pass and a sack for

departed quarterbacks Kris
Linster and Bear Woods, but'
he was injured during the
Wildcats' 20-0 preseason loss
to West Nassau (Yarboroughi
was also one of the returning
starters on defense). -
The Wildcats run the Wing-
T on offense, but if they ever
throw the ball, they have a.
formidable receiver in Gary'
Dugger, who set a school`
record last year with 861
receiving yards.
Against Middleburg, Baker

a loss of 3 yards.
Bradford's fourth-down
attempt was another
incomplete pass with 25
seconds remaining in
regulation.
Bradford's offensive
backfield suffered a blow
when Harris broke his wrist.
Bankston said Harris will
probably be out at least six
weeks. Chuckie Covington
will be counted on to fill the
void.
Also, lineman arid
linebacker Kevin Randolph
suffered a shoulder injury.
Bankston, on Monday, said he
did not know the severity of
Randloph's injury.

no yards passing. Defensively;
the 'Cats allowed 219 yards-

Last season, Baker went 6-3
Sas-a Class 3A participant. The
'Cats averaged 26.6 points per-
game on offense, while the
defense allowed 20.1 points
per game.
Bradford and Baker played
one common opponent last
season-Bishop Kenny.
Bradford defeated Bishop
Kenny 36-13 and the "C6is
defeated the Crusaders 40-12.
