Facing the likelihood that ag-ing air-conditioning equipment at the county courthouse will have to be replaced in the near future, the Baker County Com-mission expressed a preference this week for a $400,000 plan to install a state-of-the-art chilled water system that would meet most of the building’s HVAC needs for 30 years.

Even with the new system some rooms in the courthouse — including a computer room and others used by the State Attor-

ney’s Office — would continue to be served by several smaller units, which would cost an ad-ditional $65,000 to replace, of-ficials said during an hour-long workshop that begin at 3:30 pm on January 21.

The only other option, which was rejected, was to replace ex-isting equipment at a cost of $262,000. However, the equip-ment would only have a 15-year life expectancy, so the to-tal cost over 30 years would be $524,000.

“I like the 30-year plan,” said Commission Chairman Jimmy Anderson, a commercial roofer

who works closely with air-con-ditioning contractors. “A chilled water system will be easier to maintain and light bills are go-ing to be lower. We need to in-vestigate going that route.”

The existing air-conditioning system was installed about 15 years ago, using Trane equip-ment and remains under a ser-vice contract with that company. Walt Herndon, a Trane account manager, discussed the options with board members and said the company agreed to extend its service agreement this year

The Wildcats have found their man.

Baker County High School announced former Ridgeview head coach Tom MacPherson as the new Wildcat head foot-ball coach on January 15 after narrow-ing the field down from al-most 70 appli-cants.

“His ability to make a difference in the lives of young men was very evi-dent throughout this process,” said BCHS principal Tom Hill. “His tenure as head coach at his pre-vious school was definitely bet-ter than most applicants. The number of playoff appearances for his previous teams was also impressive.”

Mr. MacPherson, a former St. John’s University wide re-ceiver, leaves behind a Rid-geview program he built from the ground up and guided to success since its inception into the FHSAA in 1999. He led the Panthers to the playoffs in eight of his 15 seasons at the school and finished his tenure there with a 72-78 overall record. He posted a career-best 9-1 re-cord in 2012, a few years after coaching Ridgeview to the third round of the State Playoffs in 2008.

“He’s the real deal,” said BCHS Activities and Athletic Director Melody Coggin. “He’s a dynasty builder, not a resume builder.”

In fact, he didn’t even have a resume to submit when he ini-tially applied for his new posi-tion; he had to put one together to send in prior to his first in-terview in 15 years.

But the dilution of tal-ent in Clay County was mak-ing it more difficult for Coach MacPherson to compete on a yearly basis at Ridgeview. Clay County’s talent was split six different ways, he said, with six high schools within 10 minutes of each other and Ridgeview’s

A Quinnipiac poll found last November that 82 percent of Florid-ians supported medical marijuana. But a signature collector working in Macclenny last week saw much less support for the issue here.

Though she would not identify herself, she said she was gather-ing signatures for placing a referendum on medial marijuana on this November’s ballot and this congressional district was short on its total. She revealed she was being paid for her efforts, she resides in the Tampa area and she’s a stay-at-home mom when she’s not helping with petition drives, something she’s done for the last 20 years.

“I’m not hearing 82 percent of the people I stop saying they want to sign,” she said. The women esti-mated only about one in five per-sons she approached outside the county tax collectors office on Jan-uary 17 chose to support the medi-cal marijuana ballot initiative.

After she and others working on the campaign were thrown out of other private properties here, including Walmart and Walgreens, and hearing she wasn’t welcome at the tax office either, the woman said the real issue of the day was not medical marijuana but freedom of speech and the right of citizens to petition their government.

“The ladies in the tag office have been giving me a bunch of crap,” she said, adding later, “... As Americans, were are losing our freedom. In different counties you can’t even be at the tag offices. In Orange County they kick you out of libraries.”

Still, she stood her ground and continued to solicit signatures from a small fold-out table and stool about 15 feet from the entrance to the tax collectors office.

“I hate to say it, but small towns equal small minds,” the woman

It took Flipper turning up dead, but Florida appears primed to pass much-needed water resource protection mea-sures this ses-s ion. Baker County’s own state senator, Charlie Dean, mentioned it during his stop here last October, saying it will a major focus for him during the 2014 legislative session.

It’s not the first time Sen. Dean has tried to tackle the is-sue, however. He’s pushed for

tighter regula-tions on septic systems, which experts say are contributing to the state’s water quality woes. Of course there are other

culprits too. There’s fertiliz-ers used in agriculture indus-try and by residents who must

have the greenest, lushest yard on the block, poor drainage in-frastructure that washes storm water runoff into the natural environment after it picks up all the garbage we leave behind, plus sewage treatment plant discharges into water bodies.

Together they dramatically increase nutrient levels in the groundwater, which feed algae that in turn kill plant and wild-life.

But regardless, Sen. Dean has a heart for water issues

and should be commended for it. He wants to leave Florida a better place than he found it, or at least better than it is today. Now, it looks like the rest of the Florida Legislature and the governor is on board with him.

A senate select committee formed over the summer to in-vestigate die-offs of manatees, dolphins, pelicans and the sea grass in the Indian River La-goon system along the east coast of the state. It’s recom-mended the state spend $220

million on water quality and water storage projects to ad-dress the problem.

The governor announced this week some $55 million in his budget recommendations for springs protection projects.

He and others in top leader-ship positions are finally seeing that the state’s economy and its environment will live and die together.

The Florida Association of Counties, not surprisingly, is also in favor of water resource protection measures and the funding to make them happen. Counties surely realize that their water supply isn’t just theirs. It’s a shared resource we must all work to protect, lest we go the way of those mammals in the lagoon.

It’s a shame they had to per-ish for the state to take action, though.

We’ve seen similar algae blooms and fish kills in North-east Florida for the past three years with little or no change

in water policy. The state and various industry groups have spent that time battling the EPA over how much nutrient load in our water is too much.

Locally it’s the St. Mary’s River Water Management Committee that serves as the watchdog for water quality is-sues around here. Unfortunate-ly, the committee, which meets monthly in Callahan with rep-resentatives from Baker, Nas-sau, Camden and Charlton counties, sees little in the way of support, either from state and local governments or the residents in those communi-ties.

There are a few who carry on the good fight, but there could always be more. And it just so happens the annual river clean-up is less than two months away in March.

If you can’t lend a hand, maybe just call your or e-mail our state leaders to tell them they’re on the right track with this water stuff.

As I write this column, my favorite flannel shirt is in the washing machine to remove a coffee stain.

The stain was fate’s way of putting an exclamation point on something I talked about to my college speech class — intrapersonal c o m m u n i c a -tion, or how we communicate with ourselves and view the person that we are.

Our image of who we are in this big old world has a lot to do with how we are able to communicate with others. How we view ourselves and the way others view us are not always the same thing.

I often ask students to close their eyes and picture them-selves standing in front of a full length mirror in their un-derwear. You may want to try that. I ask them to be as objec-tive as they can in picturing

what they see and then have them open up their eyes.

As objective as they attempt-ed to be when looking at them-

selves, chances are they either thought they looked better or probably worse than they re-ally do.

Another example: Have you ever heard your voice on a tape recorder?

I imagine a collective groan

went out from my readers when they read that sentence. I feel the same way. As much as we hate the sound of our voice on tape, that is the way the rest of the world hears you. Yep — that’s your actual voice. Awful isn’t it?

However, the people who listen to us don’t think so be-cause that’s the way they hear us every day.

The reason is simple. We don’t hear the sound coming out of our mouths when we talk. We hear the sound waves bouncing around inside of our sinus cavities and it sounds completely different banging around in there between our ears. But we’re used to it and so that’s the way we think we sound.

Similarly, our view of how we look is skewed. We base our vision of ourselves upon all sorts of things – past ex-periences, how we feel that day, what we’re wearing and the way other people treat us. Sometimes it changes from day to day.

Ladies will understand this next part clearly; guys, not so much. I’ll illustrate with a phrase that resonates with ev-ery lady who reads it.

Bad Hair Day!Every woman reading this

is shaking her head. If you are having a bad hair day it doesn’t matter that you woke up rest-ed and feeling great, that it’s sunny and 72 degrees. The day is now officially “crap.”

There are two kinds of bad hair days. The first is where you know from the start it’s going to happen. No matter what you try in your vast bag of hairstyling tricks works and 30 minutes later it looks just as bad as when you started.

That’s bad, but you can plan for it.

The second level is the one that catches you by surprise. It looks great, you feel good and the minute that you walk out the door the 100 percent humidity makes it drop flat by the time you get to the car.

A bad hair day makes us feel awful about how we look and a good hair day signals a good start to the day.

So, if you’re having a Bad Hair Day it colors the rest of the day for us and makes you very self-conscious. Probably no one notices but you. Most of us are much harder on our-selves than are others. Most of us don’t have a bully following us around telling us that we’re fat and our mama dresses us funny. But that doesn’t mat-ter a lot of times. We do it to ourselves.

We remember all the stu-pid little things that happened to embarrass us, like when we wore white and fell in the mud. We remember when we went to a party and dressed completely inappropriately like the scene from Legally Blonde where the girl thinks it’s a costume party and goes dressed as a Playboy Bunny.

Most people forget and for-give our gaffs, but we inflate them.

Which brings me back to my shirt and fate. I took a big sip of coffee and spilled half of it on my shirt. At age 17, I would have been horrified and my day ruined.

At my current advanced age, I looked at it, smiled and said, “Think of that as today’s visual aid.”

I hope you all have a week of Good Hair Days.

new face leadingWildcat football

The high school unveiled the name of its new head football coach last week in Tom MacPherson. We looked to Face-book, of course, to gauge how readers felt about the new face on the football field. We asked, “What are your thoughts on the BCHS Wildcats’ new football coach Tom McPherson? What do you think he needs to focus on during the spring prac-tice?” Here’s a look at the responses:

Jerome Reimer Jr.: Making sure he grabs the right debit card when pur-chasing alcohol!

Thomas Smith: Have y’all seen his football career record? It’s like 78-71 or close. He has lost more then he has won. I think the people doing the inter-views for the hiring should know what a first down is first.

Chris Crews: The best thing he can do is somehow, someway miraculously get Joey Sulkowski to stay and run the offense and keep the defensive staff intact. Nothing needs to be built. The system is already in place. Coach Bobby [Johns] and Coach Ryan [Sulkowski] al-ready laid the foundation. If he’s smart he will not try to implement new schemes when these players have al-ready been in a solid winning system, but adapt his own coaching style to what we have.

Eddie Davis Sr.: Football.Debi Tisdel Doyle: If they believe in

him enough to hire him, give him free reign to do his job without ridicule. Al-low him to build the team with his ex-perience and methods, no “give me’s.”

Aaron Scott: It’s not whether the school likes him; it’s whether The Press does. At least that is the lesson I took from recent events. And I speak as one who happens to really like The Press. They, um, fumbled on the last coach.

Missy Curry-Wiliams: It sounds like he will fit in. We all must keep an open mind. He has to build the program up first. They are our team no matter what!

Mike Williams: What happened to

the old one? Build up the program? I thought it was already built up.

Class supply listsneeded beforesales tax holiday

Well, we queried our Facebook friends about Governor Rick Scott’s pro-posal to expand the annual sales tax holiday. But what we heard back was aimed directly at the schools and getting out classroom supply lists in time for the tax holiday. Here’s what they had to say:

Leslie Wahlstrom Teeter: I wish we could get an accurate list of supplies from the schools that coincides with the tax holiday. Every year we buy general supplies (paper, pens, pencils, etc.) during the tax holiday and end up having to buy more stuff cause it’s not what’s listed. Talk about a waste of money and time!

Robyn Stevens: I would just like it to be at a time when we know what the kids need for supplies. We do not re-ceive the middle school or high school lists until open house which is well after the tax holiday. I try each year to guess and get the basics off what they needed the prior year but then I’m stuck with school supplies they don’t need and I have to go out and buy more.

apology for ‘powwow’ video right?

“Was the school district’s decision to apologize for the ‘pow wow’ video ap-propriate?” we asked our friends.

Gage Combs: Offended or not, it was done with good intentions. Apolo-gize? Absolutely not.

Missy Curry-Wiliams: I do not feel it was done to offend anyone, people nowadays are too quick to judge. It was done for preschoolers and has been for years so if any of the Native American people would like to participate they need to get in touch with the Kinder-garten Center or History Club.

Kudos for addressing water quality woes

said. She said using marijuana for medical reasons should not be disregarded simply because of the “m-word,” or marijuana.

“It’s not about recreational use at all,” she said of the peti-tion.

In fact, when approaching would be signers, the woman would say, “This is so if some-body has a debilitating disease like cancer or glaucoma they can get medical marijuana.”

But others, even two young men who signed the petition that day, say allowing mari-juana use for medical reasons is the precursor to legalizing marijuana for recreational use as well.

Colorado and Washington recently decriminalized the drug with various restrictions after first legalizing it as a med-ical treatment.

Twenty states have medical marijuana laws on the books

today, and adding Florida to the list would be a good idea, said the two young men who signed the petition and also asked not to be identified pub-licly. Even if it eventually leads to decriminalization in the Sunshine State.

“I’ve heard good things,” said one of them. “It’s posi-tive ... If it’s taxed, that’s more money that goes back into the community. And there may be less crime.”

According to a report in the Tampa Bay Times, the organi-zation leading the ballot initia-tive, United for Care, garnered enough signatures by the mid-dle of last week to get the issue on the November ballot.

But additional signatures were being gathered in the Jacksonville area to surpass a requirement that the referen-dum have support from a spe-cific share of registered vot-ers in at least 14 of the state’s

27 Congressional districts, the Times reported.

The signature collector at the tax collectors office said District 4, represented by An-der Crenshaw (R), didn’t have enough names yet so the peti-tion drive continued here and elsewhere in the district.

The state Division of Elec-tions is expected to certify the petition count by February 1. The Florida Supreme Court must also approve the actual language to be placed on the ballot.

Should the proposed lan-guage, which Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has argued is too confusing and violates the state’s “single subject” re-quirement, be struck down by the high court, then the petition signatures will be invalid. That could mean the ballot amend-ment is delayed until the next election cycle in 2016.

The ballot amendment, if

passed by at least 60 percent of Florida voters, would allow the purchase of marijuana from state-regulated dispensaries provided it’s prescribed by a doctor for medical reasons. The amendment would not legalize growing marijuana for medical uses, the Tampa Bay Times re-port pointed out.

A Glen St. Mary woman was arrested for DUI, felony driving with a suspended li-cense and having the wrong license tag on her vehicle the morning of January 16 after falling asleep at the McDonald’s drive-thru on S. 6th Street while waiting for her food.

Tammy Combs, 43, then parked her 2003 Ford pickup in a parking spot and eventually switched places with passenger Christopher Combs, 42, of Sanderson. Af-ter a few minutes, Mr. Combs attempted to drive from the parking lot but was forced to wait on traffic to clear on 6th Street. Mrs. Combs exited the truck as the driver waited and Deputy Daryl Mobley, who was parked nearby, noticed she was unsteady on her feet and was walking slowly.

The officer initiated a traffic stop on Mr. Combs and the driver admitted to not having a valid driver’s license, which had been suspended nine times and expired in September 2011. He told the officer that he found the license plate, which had been ex-pired since August 2009, in his front yard before stating he took it off his previous vehicle.

Deputy Mobley checked Ms. Combs’ driver’s license and learned it had been suspended three times for failure to pay traffic fines. The deputy noticed her eyes were bloodshot and her speech was slow. She admitted to taking pain and anti-anxi-ety medication and to being at the wheel in the McDonald’s drive-thru.

Due to her lethargic demeanor, she was asked to take a field sobriety test, which she failed, and was placed under arrest.

She was observed for a time at the Fraser Hospital emergency room before being booked at county jail.

In another incident, two Macclenny men were arrested on separate misde-meanor charges after being pulled over by Deputy John Minkel for an inoperable headlight the night of January 17.

Driver Anthony Pritchard, 22, told the officer that he had a valid driver’s license but that he didn’t have it on him. Deputy Minkel then learned he did not have a valid license and he was arrested for operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license.

Passenger Joseph Starling, 18, was ar-rested for possession of a glass smoking pipe with marijuana residue.

• A Lawtey man was arrested on the eve-ning of January 18 and charged with felony introduction of contraband into a county jail and felony driving with a suspended license after being pulled over by Deputy Jacob Satterwhite.

The deputy stopped Lynwood Kirk, 37, after noticing the tag lights out on the driver’s 2011 Chrysler. Mr. Kirk admit-ted to being a habitual traffic offender and that he didn’t have a valid license. A records check showed the officer that Mr. Kirk was also on probation for driving on a suspended license.

The contraband charge was added after officers at the jail found a small baggie of marijuana hidden in Mr. Kirk’s sock.

• Deputy Trey McCullough arrested a Macclenny man during the night of Janu-ary 15 on a second degree misdemeanor

for driving with a suspended license after the driver nearly hit the officer’s patrol car.

Andrew Hardenbrook, 27, drove into the Exxon Store parking lot on W. Mac-clenny Avenue and swerved to avoid hit-ting the officer’s car. The officer noticed the driver wasn’t wearing a seat belt and initiated a traffic stop at the gas pumps. Mr. Hardenbrook was unable to provide proof of insurance and registration and admitted to having a suspended driver’s license.

Deputy McCullough discovered that Mr. Hardenbrook’s license has been suspend-ed five times since August 2007 for failure to pay traffic fines and placed him under arrest.

• Deputy Christopher Walker arrested a Sanderson woman late at night on January 20 after discovering she had an active war-rant from Nassau County.

The officer pulled over Norma Lewis, 59, for having faulty equipment. She told him she had left her driver’s license at her residence, so the deputy checked her social security number and learned of the war-rant for failure to appear on a charge of driving on a suspended license.

• Justin Dinkins, 25, of Macclenny was arrested for driving with a license that was suspended five times for failure to pay traf-fic fines on the early morning of January 15 after being pulled over by Deputy Christo-pher Walker for driving a vehicle with no tail lights.

County deputies filed com-plaints following a half-dozen altercations the past week, in-cluding one that resulted in a fractured foot.

A 13-year-old male sus-tained the injury to his right foot when it was run over by a van backing out of a driveway off Ben Rowe Circle the after-noon of January 19, according to Deputy Jacob Satterwhite.

The youth and Casey Lau-ramore, 21, were attempting to stop the 2000 Chevrolet driven by Malissa Tubberville, 29, of Macclenny, who had come there about 5 pm accom-panied by Mary Thornton, 34, of Macclenny to pick up the latter’s child.

Mr. Lauramore, the child’s father, and the juvenile told the deputy they tried to stop the van because they feared Ms. Thornton was intoxicated.

Deputy Satterwhite filed a complaint for aggravated bat-

tery against Ms. Tubberville.In other incidents, Thomas

Starling, 48, of Macclenny was named in a complaint for bat-tery on his estranged wife Pa-mela Starling, 47, and two oth-ers following an altercation at a residence on Tom Wilkerson Rd. the evening of January 14.

Ms. Starling, accompanied by Mario Scott, 53, and Jus-tin Dinkins, 25, also of Mac-clenny, said they drove up to the residence about 8:40 pm and were confronted by Mr. Starling.

They told Deputy Thomas Dyal the accused struck Mr. Dinkins and attempted to pull him from Ms. Scott’s 2013 Su-zuki, then struck her when she attempted to intervene. Ms. Starling said she was struck in the head with a beer tossed by her husband.

Mr. Starling denied the al-legations, insisting that Mr. Dinkins became angry when

he refused to purchase pre-scription pills from his wife.

• Deputy Tony Norman filed a domestic battery complaint on January 15 naming Robert Ousley, 51, for allegedly strik-ing longtime girlfriend Trina Bell, 42, in the face during an argument over tools that had been pawned.

Police were called to the couple’s residence in the Pine Oaks trailer park south of Macclenny that morning.

• A similar complaint re-sulted after Deputy Jeremiah Johnson responded on Janu-ary 16 to county jail where Tina Dobbs, 36, of Macclenny accused boyfriend Adam Car-ey, 31, of attacking her while they rode in a vehicle on Inter-state 10.

Ms. Dobbs said the accused became irate over her alleged drug abuse, punching her and slamming her head against a window. Mr. Carey was not

located.• Campus deputy Allen Mar-

kley filed battery complaints against four female students, ages 13 and 14, for an alleged attack on January 16 against another female, 14, at Baker County Middle School.

The attack occurred as the accused were returning from lunch and the victim was on her way to the cafeteria.

• A 51-year-old male patient at Northeast Florida State Hospital accused a fellow male patient, 22, of striking him re-peatedly about the head the evening of January 17.

Two adults and two juve-niles, one of them related to the store owner, have been charged in connection with two break-ins at Bennett’s Feed on US 90 in west Mac-clenny during the night on January 15.

Police say nearly $100 in coins were taken from two cash registers, along with four pocket knives valued at over $100.

Deputy Jeremiah Johnson said the four suspects were in a vehicle stopped north of Glen St. Mary later that morn-ing following a tip from store owners Benny Jo and Patricia Bennett.

Their young relative, 17, who has the same north coun-ty address, was driving the ve-hicle and also had a baggie of marijuana and a smoking pipe in his possession. He admitted later to investigators he used some of the stolen money to purchase the pot at Baker Manor in south Macclenny.

Also in the vehicle was the youth’s 19-year-old pregnant girlfriend Emily Atkinson, 19, who also has a north county address on Benny Jo Bennett Rd., Kyle Williamson, 20, and another 17-year-old male who resides off CR 129-B in Glen.

During subsequent inter-views with sheriff’s inves-tigators at county jail, they learned that the 17-year-old relative used a knife to gain entry into a locked door and the others either entered with him or stood watch outside during both burglaries.

A surveillance video depicts

two males rifling through two cash registers.

The suspects then took the coins to a counting machine at Winn-Dixie after the first haul, and to Walmart for the same purpose after the second.

Mr. Wilkerson and the two juveniles were charged with felony burglary and petty theft of both the coins and knives, and the related youth with possessing both marijuana and the pipe.

Ms. Atkinson, said to be in a late-term pregnancy, was first released after question-ing then later named in a complaint after investigators learned she was an accom-plice.

In a second theft report, a 15-year-old female was named as a likely suspect in the dis-appearance of five rings worth a combined $2000 from the home of Ann Rhow on Arnold Rhoden Rd.

Ms. Rhow told Deputy Earl Lord on January 14 she had custody of the girl, and had not seen her since Christmas Day when she took her to her father’s residence in Jackson-

ville.The case was referred to an

investigator from the Depart-ment of Children and Fami-lies. The teen could be charged with felony theft due to the rings’ value.

Police responded to a fore-closed and abandoned house on the afternoon of January 17 for a criminal mischief and theft complaint.

Deputy Brandon Kiser met with Quinton Hallibur-ton, who reported the situa-tion, upon his arrival at 10412 Hollie Road. Mr. Halliburton works for a mortgage com-pany that was maintaining the property near Cuyler.

He told the deputy he no-ticed damage to several rooms including the bathroom sink, tub and outside bladder tank while inspecting the house earlier in the day. The damage appeared to have been a re-sult of removal the wires from within the walls.

The house is likely to be de-molished due to several large holes in the ceiling that caused massive damage.

Police arrested a Lakeland man for resisting arrest with-out violence late in the night of January 15 after he ran into the woods and checked him-self into a hotel to avoid being arrested on an active warrant.

Deputy Robert Simpkins responded to a call about a suspicious vehicle at the Country Club Lounge and he was questioning its occupants when Christopher Oleskie-wicz, 42, walked off to a wood-ed area. Deputy Simpkins also learned that Mr. Oleskiewicz had an outstanding warrant out of Indian River County.

The deputy searched the nearby wooded area to no avail. During the search, an employee of a neighboring Burger King informed the of-ficer he saw a male run from the woods toward Woodlawn Road.

Since Mr. Oleskiewicz didn’t have a local address, Deputy Simpkins checked with local motels and found the suspect at the American Inn. The officer spotted the suspect through the window of his room but Mr. Oleskie-wicz ignored the deputy’s in-structions to open the door.

Deputy Simpkins got a key from the clerk and entered the room where he found the suspect sitting on the bed. Mr. Oleskiewicz admitted to run-ning from the scene because he knew of the outstanding warrant.

In another related incident, a Macclenny woman was ar-rested on the evening of Janu-ary 16 for disturbing the peace and resisting officers with-out violence after police were called to her residence three times that day.

Romona Robertson, 26, had been involved in verbal altercations with neighbors throughout the day. Deputy Koty Crews and Sgt. Bill Star-ling tried to make contact with her upon their arrival to no avail.

Ms. Robertson’s neighbor, Zelda Graham, informed the officers the suspect had been causing a disturbance in the area and had started a verbal confrontation with her prior to their arrival.

Ms. Robinson left her resi-dence and approached Ms. Graham’s residence and be-gan yelling at her as she spoke with the officers. Once the suspect saw the deputies, she ran back toward her residence and refused to halt. The offi-cers began pursuing her, but she entered her residence and locked the front door.

The officers entered her house through an unlocked back door and found her hid-ing behind a bed.

County deputies made arrests or filed com-plaints after four instances of shoplifting and at-tempted shoplifting at the Macclenny Walmart the past week, most of them involving persons from outside Baker County.

In one of the cases, a 16-year-old Jacksonville boy questioned for an attempted theft early on January 17 ended up named in a complaint for stealing a $400 iPad2 back on December 16.

Deputy Trey McCullough said he recognized the face on the youth while questioning him and three others who ran from the store when con-fronted by a security worker shortly after 3 am. He stopped them as they appeared to be leaving with a shopping cart full of electronic merchan-dise.

Neither the boy, nor a 13-year-old male, a 14-year-old female or Timekia Robinson, 35, were charged with the offense because they did not exit the store.

Surveillance footage of the 16-year-old was still available, however, and shows him reach-ing through the counter and concealing the iPad before exiting. Deputy McCullough said the boy affirmed he was the person in the video.

In other cases, Tracy Allen, 44, and Tracy Benefield, 42, both of Orange Park, were arrested the afternoon of January 15 after they allegedly entered Walmart with old receipts, selected simi-lar items then took them to customer service for cash refunds.

The suspects succeeded in getting refunds of just over $79.

Deputy Robert Simpkins said Mr. Benefield admitted the receipts were obtained from Ms. Allen’s mother. Police also learned the male sus-pect was wanted in Carroll County, GA for fraud and worthless checks.

• Terrie Bennett, 26, of Macclenny was charged with petty theft of $217 worth of merchandise the afternoon of January 17.

The suspect, a former store employee, was recognized as she left the store about 1:30 with-out paying for items that included a $178 vacu-um cleaner, diapers and soft drinks. She denied the allegation when Deputy Marc Heath showed up at her Barber Loop residence later that day.

• Laci Conti, 29, of Sanderson was named in a complaint for tearing the tag off a $5 pair of child’s sunglasses the same afternoon, then al-lowing her young son to leave the store with them on.

Deputy Heath was also informed by store se-curity that Ms. Conti allegedly was caught via surveillance video in December placing items in a shopping bag that had not been scanned at the self-checkout.

She later paid for the merchandise after tell-ing police she was unaware they hadn’t been scanned.

A man who went to Macclenny Elementary with his live-in girl-friend to enroll their child has been named in a complaint for steal-ing the wallet of a school employee from a purse under her desk.

Deputy Marc Heath said employee Tracy Wilford reported the wallet containing $250 cash, a debit card, checkbook and other items went missing during the time that Wesley Zipperer, 25, and Amanda Weichman, 26, were in the office area filling out forms just after lunch.

Police traced the couple to an address on Laverne St. in Mac-clenny two days later, and Mr. Zipperer led investigator Rodney Driggers and Chris Volz to a trash can near Linda St. and Cardinal Lane in north Macclenny where the wallet was recovered.

The debit card and cash were missing. The complaint for petty theft was forwarded to the state attorney’s office.

In another case of a stolen wallet, this one from a rest room at the Macclenny Winn-Dixie, authorities are seeking a suspect going by the name Kyaira Murphy.

Tracy Holland of Sanderson called police when she realized she left the bathroom just after 11 am on January 15 without the wallet and returned to find it gone.

Deputy Jeremiah Johnson said a surveillance video showed the suspect enter and emerge shortly after while a male later identified as Randolph Soto, 33, of Macclenny waited outside. Ms. Murphy was identified by store personnel as the woman who signed a West-ern Union receipt about the same time.

She listed her address as on Rock Ct. in Macclenny, and there the deputy questioned Mr. Soto, who claimed he merely gave the suspect a ride and knew nothing of her whereabouts.

Ms. Holland told Deputy Heath on January 17 the card issued in her husband’s name was used at a Citgo to pay for $43 shortly after the theft, then rejected and seized at Family Dollar in Macclenny shortly after.

The card was presented by a female matching Ms. Murphy’s de-scription.

• A 72-year-old Macclenny woman notified the sheriff’s depart-ment on January 14 that an online payment account she hadn’t used since 2010 was debited to $865 on December 20 for purchases at Walmart.

• A Sanderson man, 35, reported his Vystar card was used to make purchases for $523 on January 17 and 18.

Traffic stops for minor in-fractions resulted in a trio of arrests for drug possession the past week, including one motorcyclist stopped for going 118 mph on Interstate 10.

Deputy Robert Simpkins said he first spotted the 2000 Honda driven by William Appleton, 19, of Yulee as it entered the eastbound lanes from the road shoulder just east of Macclenny about 10:45 pm on January 16.

The bike quickly accelerat-ed to speeds above 100 mph as it weaved in and out of traffic. The deputy said he was able to close the distance before clocking the Honda and stop-ping it.

He learned via a computer database that Mr. Appleton had been issued four tickets for reckless driving in the past three months.

A routine search turned up a canvas bag in the driver’s jacket that contained a small amount of marijuana and smoking pipe. Mr. Apple-ton was booked at county jail on misdemeanor possession charges and ticketed for reck-less driving.

• Deputy Thomas Dyal

pulled over a 2002 Honda car on Orbey Rhoden Rd. near CR 127 north of Sanderson the evening of January 17 after seeing it stopped in the road then turning without a signal.

Driver Glenn Stapleton, 47, of Jacksonville consent-ed to a vehicle search due to past drug possession charge, and the deputy found a bag-gie with cocaine on the driver side floorboard. A second bag-gie containing marijuana was found in Mr. Stapleton’s pants pocket.

He was charged with felony possession of the coke and a misdemeanor for the pot.

• Passenger Alisyn Hysler, 20, of Macclenny was taken to jail after she produced a sin-gle hydrocodone pill during a consent search the evening of January 13.

Deputy Chris Walker stopped the 1999 Chevrolet truck Ms. Hysler was riding in on South 6th at Barber Rd. in Macclenny about 7:30 for hav-ing an obscured license tag. He also charged Joshua Thorn-ton, 28, of Glen St. Mary with driving on a license suspended as an habitual offender.

for $33,848.If any of the existing conven-

tional units burn out and need to be replaced this year, Mr. Hern-don said, the expense will be ab-sorbed by Trane.

“Our goal is to maintain it so that (equipment failure) doesn’t happen,” he said.

A chilled water system, which uses refrigerant to produce ice at night and gradually releases cold water through pipes during working hours to cool the build-ing, is much more efficient than conventional compressors and air handlers that send expensive refrigerant throughout the pip-ing.

“Right now, we’re pushing refrigerant,” Mr. Herndon said. “What we want to push is wa-ter.”

County Manager C.J. Thomp-son said a 70-ton chilled water system would require “more up-front expense, but there would be the potential for longer term savings.”

At the current age of the ex-isting HVAC equipment, Mr. Thompson said, “it’s subject to start breaking.”

Mr. Anderson said it makes sense to install the best equip-ment that will last the longest and provide the most efficient heating and cooling.

“The temperature inside the building will be better con-trolled and mold won’t be an is-sue any more,” said Mr. Ander-son, prompting Court Clerk Al

Fraser to interject a comment about mold.

“We’ve never had a problem, but we have had some mold in the past,” Mr. Fraser said. “What we’re trying to do is prevent a serious mold problem” that he said is mainly limited to one area on the west side of the building.

Mr. Herndon said that not only do chilled water systems last twice as long as conven-tional equipment, but they also significantly reduce energy costs. He estimated the annual electric bill at the courthouse would be about $5,600 less with a chilled water system, or about one month’s payment to Florida Power & Light.

Mr. Herndon further noted that a chiller system controls air flow better and would “dramati-cally reduce the humidity” in the courthouse, where he agreed mold “has been a problem.”

He said chilled water units are becoming increasingly pop-ular with governmental agencies throughout Florida, particularly in public schools and colleges.

“All governmental entities are looking 30 years down the road,” Mr. Herndon said, adding that most public schools south of Brevard County “have gone to ice (chiller) systems as the only way to avoid killer electric bills.”

Commissioner Anderson said the county’s been lucky with the air-conditioning equipment at the courthouse so far, but that luck could run out any day now.

“We’ve been blessed with

the 15 years we’ve gotten for as much as that building stays cooled,” he said.

Officials will begin exploring ideas for financing the upcom-ing air-conditioning upgrade when commissioners begin dis-cussing the 2014-15 budget in the next few months.

The existing HVAC equip-ment at the courthouse was in-stalled as part of a $5 million ex-pansion and remodeling of the historic structure 15 years ago. The county’s portion of the cost was a $2.7 million loan, which will be paid off in January 2015 with a final payment of about $191,000, the county manager said.

That’s just about when offi-cials will be looking at financing the new HVAC installation.

Low-income Baker County residents without the money or health insurance to pay for needed medical care now have a place to go.

The Rural Health Clinic af-filiated with Ed Fraser Me-morial Hospital in Macclenny opened its doors on January 13 to eight patients who had made appointments, though walk-ins are welcomed, too.

The clinic sits on the south end of the hospital’s North 3rd Street campus.

Kathleen Washburn, an ad-vanced registered nurse prac-titioner, will see patients at the clinic with oversight from Dr. Jamal Salameh. It’s open Mon-day, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 am to 7 pm, and on Wednesday and Saturday from 8 am to noon.

The clinic is managed by Baker County Medical Services, a nonprofit organization which runs Fraser Hospital and its as-sociated facilities including the Dopson Family Medical Center and W. Frank Wells Nursing Home.

Dennis Markos, the non-profit’s executive director, said the clinic aims to serve the uninsured but it will also take Medicare and Medicaid patents, including those under HMOs. Patients without health insurance may be referred to help signing up for coverage via the federal healthcare ex-change, he said.

Some of the uninsured may qualify for Medicaid coverage or government subsidies to buy private coverage offered through the exchange in Bak-er County from Florida Blue. It’s the only insurer with plans available on the exchange for Baker County residents, but there are many to choose from.

Still, because the state has refused to expand Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare, there are others who don’t qualify for Medicaid and don’t earn

enough to qualify for govern-ment subsidies through the ex-change, or about $11,500.

There are nearly 1 million people in the state who fall within this coverage gap.

The Affordable Care Act as passed included a manda-tory expansion of Medicaid to adults up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level and cuts to the money hospitals receive for care of the uninsured, called uncompensated care.

But since the Supreme Court ruled the expansion was op-tional for the states, and Flor-ida has chosen to decline some $51 billion in federal money over 10 years to fund nearly all of the expansion costs, hospi-tals here received the cuts in uncompensated care payments but not the additional feder-al funding from an expanded Medicaid program.

The cuts to Ed Fraser Hos-pital totaled about $1.7 mil-lion, Mr. Markos said. If the state doesn’t expand Medicaid, “all we’ll be doing is providing more charity care,” he said.

Nonetheless, providing care, whether uncompensated or not, is cheaper at the clinic.

Mr. Markos said the purpose of the facility is to encourage uninsured patients with non-acute care needs — like head-aches and the flu — to avoid accessing services through the emergency room, where care is the much more expensive.

“A lot of people come to the emergency room for things that are not really emergencies,” he said, adding that real emergen-cies are things like cuts requir-ing stitches and broken bones.

“It’s much less expensive to treat them in this [clinic] envi-ronment,” said Mr. Markos. “In the emergency room, you have doctors 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You have backups of labs, X-ray and respiratory therapy around the clock. You are staffed 24/7.”

The clinic meanwhile has evening hours and weekend hours to accommodate pa-tients’ work schedules, but it’s open just 44 hours per week.

Ideally, opening a conve-nient walk-in clinic with prima-ry care services for the indigent will encourage that population to visit more often and help them avoid more serious health problems that require hospital care.

“Hopefully we can keep them healthier by using this outpatient facility and pri-mary care,” Mr. Markos said. “If they come continuously to have their health updated, you minimize those acute episodes and hopefully reduce the cost of care while providing more care. That’s the goal anyway with a rural health clinic.”

The 5000 square-foot clin-ic’s grand opening took place on January 16 with a social gathering and ribbon cutting ceremony that included fellow Chamber of Commerce mem-bers early that evening.

It took contractor Dana B.

Kenyon Company of Jackson-ville nearly a year to build the clinic, which was funded by Baker County Medical Servic-es without any outside money, Mr. Markos said.

He estimated the total cost at nearly $1 million.

“This is for real basic pri-mary care for people who don’t have a family physician, pri-marily for those who don’t have insurance and the county indi-gent since we have the indigent care responsibility,” said Mr. Markos. “They can come here and get primary medicine on a sliding-fee scale based on in-come.”

Macclenny city commissioners last week affirmed the outcome of an illegal vote taken by secret ballot on December 30 that resulted in the appointment of Cecil Horne Jr. to fill the empty seat created by the death of former Commissioner Tommy Johns.

Only this time commissioners voted audi-bly, rather than anonymously as they did on two separate secret ballots that ended in a 2-2 tie, which was broken by a coin toss won by Mr. Horne over former county commissioner Alex Robinson.

Mr. Horne works as a landscaper and sub-stitute teacher. He’s the grandson of former county commissioner O.C. Horne.

There was no second coin toss at the January 14 board meeting because the first one was conducted openly, unlike the votes which were not re-corded in violation of Florida’s Government in the Sunshine Law.

Mayor Gary Dopson, who spoke in a raspy voice and had a cough, apologized for the way the appointment was handled but insisted there had been no intentional skirting of the Sunshine Law.

“I wouldn’t be here tonight if we didn’t need to rectify the unintentional results of the December 20 board meeting,” said Dr. Dopson, adding that he was sick and on medication. He then turned to City Attor-ney Frank Maloney to explain the situation.

Mr. Maloney, who conducted the ap-pointment proceedings and flipped the coin that broke the tie, said that after The Press “brought to our attention that there may have been a Sunshine Law violation” he researched the issue.

After reading Florida Supreme Court rul-ings and two attorney generals’ opinions on Sunshine Law issues, he said he concluded that there “may have been a technical viola-tion.”

He then told commissioners that to be “100 percent correct” they would have to reaf-firm their December 30 vote for the public re-cord, each one stating for whom he had voted.

“Reaffirming the vote, or memorializing the vote, will make it ‘sunshine bright,’” Mr. Maloney said. “That’s the language of the Su-preme Court.”

Mayor Dopson then called for “memorial-ization of the vote,” after which he and Com-

missioner Mark Bryant said they had voted both times for Mr. Horne, while Commis-sioners Vern Bennett and Sam Kitching said they had cast their two ballots in favor of Mr. Robinson.

Mr. Kitching said he viewed the situation as one the city could only win because both applicants were well qualified to serve.

“I felt like we could not lose and we have an excellent commissioner,” said Mr. Kitching, who only joined the commission himself a few months ago and is seated next to Mr. Horne.

The Sunshine Law was enacted by the Florida Legislature in 1967 and is embodied in Chapter 286 of the Florida Statutes, which establish a basic right of access to most meet-ings of boards, commissions and other gov-

erning bodies of state and lo-cal governmental agencies or authorities.

In addition to ensuring that governmental bodies conduct official business in a transpar-ent manner in public meet-ings that have been duly ad-vertised in local newspapers, the law also requires records be kept so citizens may review official decisions afterward.

In this case, however, com-missioners committed the biggest infraction of the law by failing to sign their written ballots, which Mayor Dopson, who has been a member of the

city commission for about a quarter of a cen-tury, said was a regretful oversight.

“The public had every right to know how each commissioner voted,” he said. “We should have signed the ballots that night. I take part of the blame for that and I blame the city attorney for not advising the board.

“But for whatever reason it slipped my mind. That will never happen again, I can tell you that. And I don’t think it’s ever hap-pened before. There was absolutely no intent to break the Sunshine Law that night.”

When City Manager Phil Rhoden was no-tified of the potential violation by The Press on January 2 he said he would consult with the city attorney and individual commission-ers. Later that day, he disclosed the vote tally, which has since been made a matter of public record.

Mr. Rhoden initially said he didn’t think the Sunshine Law had been broken because a public vote would have been taken if anyone had questioned the procedure. Also, he said, anonymous voting had filled similar vacan-cies in the past, including the appointment of B.J. Cannon in 2002.

But the next day the city manager and the city attorney agreed that the commission had committed a technical, though unintentional, violation of the law.

Knowingly breaking the Sunshine Law is a criminal offense punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.

Though the mayor partially blamed the city attorney for the embarrassing turn of events, Mr. Maloney did not acknowledge personal responsibility. Instead, he seemed to think the coin he tossed that night was the real culprit.

“The decision was made by a quarter,” he said.

“And the coin cannot be unflipped,” Com-missioner Kitching quipped.

“That’s right. The coin cannot be un-flipped,” the attorney responded.

Meanwhile, the city’s five-member Zoning and Adjustment Board has been decimated in the past year by city commission elections and appointments.

Mr. Horne had to resign from the advisory panel to accept the commission appointment. Former Zoning and Adjustment Board chair-man Dennis Collins resigned in November af-ter losing a race for the commission and Mr. Robinson also has resigned.

The trend started last April when Mr. Rho-den, a former commissioner, was hired as the new city manager and he was replaced by Mr. Bryant, who had chaired the zoning panel for years.

At the recommendation of the city’s zoning coordinator, Mike Walker, commissioners appointed a third member to the panel so it would have a quorum and be able to conduct meetings.

Lynward Bones, who lives in Macclenny and works as a crane operator at AmeriSteel in Baldwin, will be installed as the newest member at the board’s next zoning hearing on February 3.

In other business last week commission-ers:

• Approved an agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation calling for the state agency to install new electronic speed limit signs in the school zone on 5th Street (SR 228), at the intersections of Jonathan Street and South Boulevard.

Assistant City Manager Roger Yarborough said the signs will be the type that display — in flashing numbers — the speeds of oncoming vehicles in the 20 mph zone.

• Postponed action on a request submitted by Rock Rhoden and Timmy Combs seeking a reduction of impact fees imposed on the con-struction of new duplexes.

This winter, make good use of all the space in your vegeta-ble garden by growing English, snow, or snap peas. These tasty legumes can be planted Janu-ary to March in North Florida.

English peas: Garden peas that must be shelled before eat-ing are called “English peas.” There are many varieties to choose from and gardeners can succes-sion plants by planting 3-4 varieties that require dif-ferent lengths of time to ma-ture. Dwarf varieties are also available and do not re-quire a trellis for support. Peas should be picked in prime condition and eaten or pre-served as soon as possible after harvest.

Higher temperatures will cause peas to pass the edible stage more rapidly. Blanched and quickly frozen, they may be held in good condition for a year or more. Some good vari-eties for Florida include ‘Wan-do’ and ‘Green Arrow.’

Snow peas: Also called edible-podded peas or sugar peas, these varieties closely re-semble the English pea in plant and growth characteristics ex-cept that the pods are flatter, broader, more tender, and less fibrous. Entire pods, including the immature seeds, are eat-en whole. Snow peas perform better under higher tempera-tures than the English pea, and are harvested before the seeds start to accumulate starch. Not

only are snow peas cooked or stir-fried, they are also deli-cious raw. The pods of Ore-gon types are edible. Rec-ommended varieties in-clude ‘Oregon Sugarpod’ and ‘Dwarf Sugar.’

These edible-podded peas are soft and tender, but differ from snow peas in their round instead of flat pod shapes and thin pod walls. They are also so crisp, sweet, and succulent that they may be snapped into pieces and mixed into salads or eaten whole as an appetizer. They may also be stir-fried or steamed, and have a distinctive appearance and flavor.

Snap peas perform better under higher temperatures than the English pea, and are harvested while tender. Ma-ture pods (2½ to 3 inches) re-quire “stringing,” while over-grown, fibrous pods should be shelled and combined with

other more-tender edible pods. Recommended varieties in-clude ‘Sugar Rae,’ ‘Sugar Bon,’ ‘Sugar Ann,’ and ‘Sugar Snap.’ ‘Sugar Snap’ requires a trellis, reaching 4 to 6 feet. It has been reported to recover from frost and from cold down to 20°F.

With a little easy home maintenance throughout the year, you can prevent emergency repairs down the line. Experts recommend post-ing a task checklist in a convenient location, such as on the refrigera-tor or a corkboard.

“Maintenance is usually a lot simpler than a repair, and a lot more affordable,” says Chris Terrill, CEO of HomeAdvisor, a leading web-site offering resources for home repair and improvement projects. “Keep a checklist handy during the entire year, so you don’t forget any timely tasks.”

Here are six tasks HomeAdvisor recommends not to forget to com-plete each year:

• On a quarterly basis, test your smoke and carbon monoxide de-tectors. Not only will doing so protect the safety of your family in the event of an emergency, it can also protect your pocketbook. The aver-age national cost of repairing fire and smoke damage is $4,195.

• Twice a year, clean your gutters and downspouts. To prevent damage, the downspout needs to be free of debris so it can release water three feet from your home’s foundation. The average national cost of cleaning the gutter and downspout is $181. However, the aver-age national cost of repairing the foundation of a house can cost up to 24 times that amount.

• In the cooler months, take a day each year to check caulking for cracks, especially around tubs and showers. Cracks can let in water with no place for drainage, which will cause damage.

• Every fall complete an annual roof inspection to help prevent the need for major repairs or a roof replacement. The average national cost of hiring a roof inspector is $360, whereas the average cost of re-placing a roof is nearly 19 times that amount.

• Before the dog days of summer, hire a professional to service your HVAC unit. Doing so will increase its efficiency and prevent a break-down. The cost of replacing and installing an air conditioning unit can be more than 13 times the amount of servicing one.

• Annually check for cracks in the grout of tile floors, which can allow water to seep into the floor and cause mold growth and rot. According to HomeAdvisor’s Cost Guide the average national cost of repairing tile and grout is $439. However, the cost of testing and re-moving mold can be up to four times that amount.

entries, participationscant for MLk parade The annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade through Macclenny was scaled way back this year. Parade organizer Tommy Rollins (pictured above) said a recent medical problem kept him from recreating the event of years past. Normally it’s held on the Friday preceding the MLK holi-day and features a larger parade in the morning, complete with the high school’s marching band and Junior ROTC students, and then lunch with guest speakers. This year the afternoon parade took place on MLK Day and consisted of a dozen or so youths on foot, bikes or ATVs, three sheriff’s office vehicles, a county EMS unit, a Macclenny fire department engine and four private vehicles. It began and ended with little fanfare or men-tion of Dr. King. Mr. Rollins said next year’s event will be more like those in previous years.

Stevie Taylor of Macclenny loves a good story, and his li-brary record proves it.

The 17-year-old student athlete at Baker County High School holds the record for the most books checked out from the school library this school year at 35. He checked out 55 books the previous year and almost 100 since his freshman year.

Mr. Taylor was recognized for his voracious appetite for reading during Literacy Week, which took place here and across the nation last week. He was highlighted on the bulletin board in the front office as stu-dent of the month.

“Some kids read just for AR points. He reads just to read,” said BCHS media specialist and Press columnist Bob Gerard of Mr. Taylor’s reading habits.

Mr. Taylor enjoys reading fiction, namely fantasy and western novels.

“I just like a good story, you know. I can’t get into a bad sto-ry, and I have to get into the story to read it,” he said.

His favorite authors include New York Times best-selling author and fantasy novel-ist R.A. Salvatore and the late Louis L’Amour, who penned fictional westerns among other works.

Mr. Taylor, a high school senior, hopes to enlist in the Army and train as an intelli-gence analyst after graduation. “I know I’ll still be reading then though,” said Mr. Taylor.

He’d rather read hard copies of books instead of digital ver-sions, though he will occasion-ally read stories online. “I like it better that way,” he says.

Mr. Taylor reads mostly in the mid-afternoon, but some-times at night “if I’m really into it.”

Most of his books come from the high school library where the selection’s pretty good. “They try their best to get what they can and I appreciate it,” said the teen, who began prac-tice with the weightlifting team this week.

WC Christmas party benefits 85 childrenThe GFWC Woman’s Club of Macclenny announced last week that about 85 local children benefitted from the club’s annual Marjorie Lord Christmas Party last month. “Thank you to all who helped make the Christmas party a success ... We couldn’t do it without you,” said the club’s Shirley Padgett by e-mail. Pictured above collecting toys for the event is Marilyn Hodges. The club also wanted to remind graduating seniors planning for college to seek infor-mation about scholarships from the high school guidance office or online. The GFWC Woman’s Club of Macclenny, Baker County Education Foundation, the Knabb Family, Jacksonville University and the Brown Family are just a few of the sources for scholarship funds. Interested women are encouraged to join the club for its next meeting on Thursday, February 20, at 11 am at the clubhouse at 144 S. 5th St. The club also recently received its nonprofit status from the state, which makes donations to the club tax deductible.

Thanks so muchI would like to take a mo-

ment to thank two investiga-tors with the Baker County Sheriff’s Office — Rodney Driggers and Chris Volz. They did an excellent job investigat-ing the theft of my wallet last week. They were professional and caring during this upset-ting ordeal, and promptly re-covered it to restore my peace of mind.

Thank you and God bless to all the men and women who serve and protect Baker Coun-ty and its citizens every day.

Want to add interesting taste, texture and depth to your cooking? Think mushrooms. Most varieties are available year-round.

“A lot of cooks underesti-mate mushrooms, thinking of just a few common varieties,” says James Parker, a produce buyer for Whole Foods Market. “But mushrooms are incredibly versatile. From earthy and nut-ty to buttery and even fruity, mushrooms can add a wide ar-ray of flavors to dishes.”

To get the most out of mush-rooms, use them quickly so they remain firm and blem-ish-free. Refrigerate them in a paper bag or container that al-lows cool air to circulate and make sure they’re not too dry or damp. When ready to cook, clean mushrooms with a damp cloth or rinse briefly and dry with a towel.

This handy guide can help you experiment with different flavors and textures:

Among cultivated: • White button — mild and versatile; • Cremini — firm and flavorful; • Portobello — rich and meaty; • Oyster — mild and sweet; • Shiitake — savory & satisfying.

Wild varieties: • Chanterelle — nutty and delicate; • Morel — intense and earthy; • Porcini — robust and woodsy; • White Truffle — delicate and aromat-ic; • Black Truffle — fragrant and flavorful.

Want to give a few kinds of mushrooms a try at once? Try this recipe from Whole Foods Market for Mushroom and Gruyere Quiche, which serves 6-8 people:

Ingredients:• 1/4 pound cremini mush-

rooms, cut into quarters or eighths, depending on size

• 1/4 pound portobello mushroom caps, diced

• 1/4 pound shiitake mush-rooms, stems removed and dis-carded, cut into quarters

• 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper• 1 frozen 9-inch pie crust,

thawed• 1/2 cup heavy cream• 2 eggs• 1 tablespoon plus 2 tea-

spoons chopped fresh thyme• 4 ounces gruyère cheese,

shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)Directions:

• Preheat oven to 400 de-grees F. In a large bowl, toss mushrooms with onion, ol-ive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 15 minutes, or until cooked and firm. Remove from oven and set aside.

• Prick pie shell all over with a fork. Pre-bake shell for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Reduce oven temper-ature to 350 degrees F.

• Whisk together heavy cream and eggs with 1 table-spoon thyme, salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, combine roast-ed mushrooms, onion, gruyere and remaining thyme. Spread mixture in the bottom of the pie shell evenly.

• Pour cream-egg mixture over the mushroom mixture, ensuring the mushroom mix-ture is covered. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife insert-ed into the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.

‘Tops’ in box top raceSecond grader David Behr Todd (at right) was the monthly box top collector winner at Mamie Agnes Jones Elementary School in Baldwin in January. He’s pictured with his teacher Patti Cassidey. Mr. Todd collected more box tops this month than any other student at the school. The feat helped propel Mrs. Cassidey’s class to the highest box top total in the school as well, which won the class an ice cream party. Box tops from popular grocery store products are redeemed by local schools for supplies and other items from manufactur-ers. Check with your school’s front office for more information on how to help in local box top drives.

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONMr. Ghandi Ayoub is requesting a special ex-ception for the property he is leasing at 101 S. 6th Street, Macclenny, FL 32063. This prop-erty is zoned Commercial General and is cur-rently used as a convenience store (Smoker Friendly). The special exception is for a 3APS Liquor License. The store has a 2APS for beer and wine only. The 3APS would allow for the packaged sales, only in sealed containers of liquor also. There would be no consumption on premises. There will be a Zoning Adjust-ment Board Meeting held on February 3, 2014 at 5:00 pm at City Hall. Any support or objections may be heard at this time.

players coming from four dif-ferent middle schools.

Now, with the Wildcats, he will have the chance to be the only show in town.

“I knew the history and tra-dition of Baker County and I knew the athletes that were out here,” Coach MacPherson said. “I knew they had one ju-nior high and one high school and just thought this might be a pretty good place.

“Out here the little league kids and junior high kids are all coming to Baker County to be Wildcats,” he said, “and I think that’s something pretty special.”

Mr. MacPherson said he plans on being involved with the middle school and little league programs in Baker County. He has already had lunch with BCMS head coach Rock Rhoden and plans on at-tending the Bobcats’ games. Having the continuity from the lower levels through the high school program is one of the reasons the Baker County posi-tion was so attractive because it means players will grow up learning his system.

Those schemes include an up-tempo, no-huddle of-fense that resembles the likes of Clemson and Auburn. On defense, his teams run a 4-2-5 scheme, meaning they have five defensive backs, including three safeties, and two line-backers in their standard for-mation to combat the spread offenses that have dominated football in recent years.

He said he’ll fit his scheme to best suit his players, and he’ll have a better idea of what they’ll be able to do once he starts teaching on January 27 and is able to analyze film with the coaching staff.

Mr. MacPherson will teach physical education and team sports at BCHS.

“Obviously, Wildcats want to win, but more than winning, I hope he will make a positive

difference in the lives of the students he teaches and coach-es,” said Mr. Hill.

But as excited as he is to be-gin anew in Baker County, leav-ing his program at Ridgeview behind was one of the most difficult decisions he has ever made, he said.

“One of the toughest three minutes of my life was that morning when I had to tell my kids [at Ridgeview] that I was leaving,” Mr. MacPherson said. “I’ve been there for 15 years and I’ve been loyal. At some point sooner or later in your career you have to make a decision on what you want to do and I just felt like this was the right time and that this was the right place.”

Still, Mr. MacPherson is looking forward to the new phase of his coaching career be-cause of the community’s pas-sion for the Wildcats.

“Everybody has been great to me so far,” he said. “It seems like a great place. Everybody loves their football and their athletics and they love their kids in Baker. The only guar-antee is that I’m going to work as hard as anybody who has ever worked here. I’m going to coach these kids hard and love them as my own, and with the ones that stick it out, we can make some noise out here.”

The Baker High Wildcats honored a special fan at last Friday’s boys basketball game for her enthusiastic support of all things Wildcats.

At halftime Kanon Gonzalez, 10, of Glen St. Mary was pre-sented with a basketball signed by the team in addition to a signed T-shirt from the girls weight lifting team.

“They made my little girl’s night,” said her father Gerald Gonzalez.

He said when Kanon was younger, the noise at sporting events, and basketball games in particular with the loud buzz-ers between periods, alarmed her too much to attend games. It’s only been in the last year that Kanon’s gone bananas for Wildcat sports.

Mr. Gonzalez said she loves Wildcat football or basketball games. She is constantly asking when the next game will take place and reminding her family about her desire to be there.

“We don’t know where this comes from,” he said. “This year, all of a sudden she’s fine with it and she won’t miss one game.”

Kanon’s enthusiasm hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Head basketball coach Charles Ruise, who presented Kanon with the signed team ball on January 17, said his

Coach Charles Ruise Sr.’s BCHS Wildcats extended their winning streak to nine games with blowout vic-tories the past week over Terry Parker, Paxon and Clay to improve their over-all record to 16-2 and remain a perfect 3-0 in District 3-5A play.

Charles Ruise Jr.’s team-high 30 points helped the Cats cruise by the visiting Clay Blue Devils with a 77-55 victory on January 18. The outcome of the game was never in doubt as Baker County went on a 14-4 run to close out the first quarter. Brian Walton scored 11 of his 17 points in the opening quar-ter.

The squad continued to control the game in the second quarter with a 12-3 run to open the second frame to lead by 21 at half time. The Cats stretched their lead to as much as 32 points in the third quarter before running the clock down offensively in the fourth to seal their ninth straight win.

The win over Clay came one day later as double-doubles by Walton (18 points and 10 rebounds) and CeCe Jefferson (10 points and 18 rebounds) catapulted the Wildcats to a 67-50 home victory over the Paxon Golden Eagles. Although the final score was another lopsided win in favor of the Cats, the Golden Eagles kept the game close through the first three quarters.

Paxon’s defense didn’t allow Baker County any space in the opening min-utes of the game as the Wildcats were not able to get their shots to fall, which

allowed the visiting team to jump out to an early 8-3 lead. The Cats’ offense eventually found its rhythm near the end of the first quarter. An alley-oop to Ruise Jr. sparked a 25-7 run for Baker County through the first and second quarters to give the home team a 13-point half time advantage.

The Golden Eagles tried to rally back after the break and pulled within four points of tying the game midway through the third quarter. The Cat of-fense responded with another big scor-ing run to pull away from Paxon and lead by 16 entering the fourth quarter.

Paxon repeatedly sent the Wildcats to the free throw line in the fourth quarter to try to extend the game as a last-resort comeback attempt. Baker County was almost perfect from the charity stripe as the team sunk 12 of its 15 free throw attempts in the quarter to secure the victory.

In addition to Walton and Jeffer-son’s double-doubles, Ruise Jr. scored 15 points and the sharpshooting Jesse Gardner added 12.

Three players reached double-digit scoring when the Wildcats topped the hosting Terry Parker Braves 56-46 on January 14. Ruise Jr. had a team-high 18 points, while Jefferson added 14 and Gardner scored 10.

The Wildcats have just one district game before the district tournament begins on February 5, but it’s the most important game Baker County will play during the regular season. The Cats will host the defending district champion Bishop Kenny Crusaders (14-5, 4-0) on January 24. The out-come of the game will have a direct

effect on the district-tournament seedings in February. A win for Baker County will allow them to be the tour-nament’s top seed.

But it’s not going to be easy for the Cats. The Crusaders are undefeated in district play and their five losses in-clude a four-point defeat to Episcopal and a two-point loss against Trinity. It’s going to be a tough game, but it’s one the Wildcats have to win to ensure the top seed in the district tourna-ment.

The critical game against Bishop Kenny isn’t the only upcoming game for the Cats, though, who had to be careful to not overlook a trip to Madi-son County on January 21. See next week’s edition for a recap of that con-test. The team will travel to play Bald-win on January 25.

The Lady Wildcats’ hot streak during the closing weeks of the regular season contin-ued as the team has won five straight games to pull above .500 for the first time since De-cember 6 with a 12-9 overall re-cord.

For the second time this season, BCHS narrowly edged out the Episcopal Lady Eagles as they won on the road 57-54 on January 14. The team trailed by 11 points entering the fourth quarter but rallied back through the final frame to close the gap.

Baker County took a three-point lead with 40 seconds remaining when Kiala Pigott sunk her free throw attempts to give her 11 points on the night.

The Lady Wildcats hung on as the clock ticked down to seal the regular-season sweep of Episcopal. Delicia Washington had another offensive outburst with a team-high 33 points.

“We kept our composure af-ter we were down by 11 at the start of the fourth quarter and they played hard through the end,” head coach Chris Ch-isholm said.

The girls’ next three victo-ries came a lot easier than the one against Episcopal.

Washington’s 33 points once again led the Lady Cats as they easily disposed of the Baldwin Lady Indians 69-43 on the road on January 17.

The 26-point win was remi-niscent of the team’s blowout victory over the Lady Indians early in the season as the Lady Cats dominated the action and everyone had a chance to play. In addition to Washington’s high-scoring night, Pigott also reached double-digits with 11 points.

The Lady Cats secured an-other road victory when they pulled away from the Forrest Lady Rebels in the second half en route to a 54-36 road win on January 20.

Baker County’s offense was slowed down in the first half when Forrest’s defense double-teamed Washington. This kept the game tight until Abby Rice

connected on a three-point shot before half time to give the squad momentum heading into the second half.

Washington still managed to score a team-high 28 points even with the added defensive attention, but other players stepped up in the second half to take pressure off the playmak-er and help the Lady Cats pull away. Haley Bussell finished the game with 20 points to cat-apult the team to the blowout win.

The Lady Wildcats returned home on January 21 and cruised to their fifth straight win with a 63-50 victory over Fort White. The entire team saw the court in the lopsided game that saw the Lady Cats lead by as much as 26 points in the third quarter. The team slowed down its offensive at-tack in the fourth quarter, which allowed the visiting team to make the final score more re-spectable.

Washington scored 20 of her 27 points in the first half to help the Lady Cats enjoy a 15-point half time advantage. Rice was second on the team with eight points.

The Lady Wildcats will close out their regular sea-son with Senior Night against the visiting Union County on Janu-ary 23.

Then, the Lady Cats will turn their atten-tion to the Dis-trict 3-5A tour-nament, which is being held at Baker Coun-ty and begins on January 27. Although the girls struggled through portions of the district schedule, they are beginning to gel as a team at the right time to make some noise in the tour-nament.

“We have a really young team,” Coach Chisholm said. “The girls are

growing together as a young team and we’ve been doing re-ally well.”

The BCHS wrestling team went 2-1 at a quad meet at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind on January 17 that also had Wolfson and Raines scheduled to compete.

The Wildcats defeated Wolfson by forfeit when the Wolfpack didn’t show up for the meet.

Forfeits also played a major role in the team’s contests against the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind and Raines.

The Wildcats lost to the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind 42-36 after forfeiting three weight classes gave the Dragons an automatic 18-point advantage. Baker County won six of the nine matches that took place, but the forfeits dug the team a deep hole they couldn’t get out.

Four of the six Wildcat wins came via pinfall. Caleb Scott won by pin in the first round at the 160-pound class, Simon Brown at the 152 class and James Carter at the 195 class pinned their opponents in the second round and Johnny Ruise secured the pin in the third round of his 145-pound match.

The Cats also had two wrestlers win by decision after the match lasted all three rounds. Sean Mulkey won by a major decision with the point advantage 15-10 in his 182-pound contest. At 285 pounds, Collyn Green won by minor decision 4-1.

Justin Canterbury won by forfeit in the 220-pound class.Forfeits may have been the reason the Cats lost to the Dragons, but

the team benefited from five forfeit wins against the Raines Vikings en route to its 48-18 victory.

Shawn Martin at 120 pounds, Louis Handte at 132 pounds, Ian Finn at 138 pounds, Ruise at 145 pounds and Canterbury at 220 pounds all won by forfeit.

Wildcat wrestlers won three of the five matches they competed in against the Vikings, each by a first-round pin. Brown at 152 pounds, Carter at 195 pounds and Green at 285 pounds all ended their respec-tive matches in the first round.

The wrestling team’s season continues with two road meets at Ed White on January 22 and Fernandina Beach of January 25.

‘No-shows’ aidCat wrestlers atFla. Deaf meet

Like football fans every-where, I planted myself on the couch Sunday and didn’t move from 3 pm until bedtime watching the AFC and NFC championship games.

What shows they proved to be. As a rule, the confer-ence championships usually prove to be better games than the Super Bowl and these cer-tainly set the bar high for the big game in two weeks between Denver and Se-attle.

The first game was billed as a match-up of the two top quarterbacks in the game. Both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are shoe-ins for the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility and they demon-strated it on Sunday. Manning was masterful, checking off plays at the line, maneuvering players back and forth like a chess master and hitting pin point passes.

Brady was more quixotic, forcing balls into tight spaces and willing his team on a late surge. The Patriots might not have been at their best thanks to the Denver defense upping its game, but it made for excit-ing football.

In the end it was Manning and the Broncos continuing their record-setting season. Manning is nearing the end of his best season ever and argu-ably the best any NFL quar-terback has had, so it is fit-ting that he should match up

in the Super Bowl against the top team in the league with the best defense.

For a while it didn’t look like Seattle would get there. San Francisco was playing the better football because of the running of quarterback Colin Kaepernick. His long strides cut through a Seattle

defense key-ing on running back Frank Gore. Though his passing was not up to his running, Kae-

pernick kept the Niners in the game. In the final drive when he was able to find his receiv-ers, it was exciting football in-deed.

All game long, the Niners avoided throwing the ball to-ward Richard Sherman, the best cornerback in the NFL. On the last play of the game, however, they had no choice. Kaepernick tossed it in the cor-ner of the end zone to Michael Crabtree. Sherman reached up and batted it away into the hands of linebacker Malcolm Smith to steal the win.

Of course, the only thing most people will remember about the titanic struggle was Sherman’s rant to Fox corre-spondent Erin Andrews when asked to comment on the play.

In the tirade that followed

he screamed about the Niner’s choice to throw against the “best corner in the game” to a “sorry receiver like Crabtree” and how when you make that choice, “that’s what you get.”

It made for good TV and will certainly be the main talking point for the next two weeks as we get ready to plant ourselves back on the couch for the Super Bowl.

team manager suggested the gesture.

“She’s been supporting Wildcat sports for a while now and we thought it was a good thing to show her how much that support means to the team and what they go out there to do ... Kanon is a big part of that and we wanted to recognize it. We just want her to know how much we appreciate the sup-port,” said the coach.

Ladies bring home first FHSAA regional cheer championship, plus a division titleThe high school’s competitive cheerleaders won the Small 1A Division State Cheer and Dance Championship in Daytona Beach last Saturday, January 17. The team from BCHS won the title in addition to the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Region 1 Small Varsity Championship, said coach Dedra Car-rington. “This is the first FHSAA Regional Championship that has been won by BCHS cheerleaders,” noted Ms. Carrington. The event was sponsored by American Cheer and Dance. The team also finished in second place about two weeks prior at the National Fellowship of Christian Championship held in Orlando on January 2. Pictured from the championship in Daytona Beach are (back from left) Allison Theophile, Taylor Carrington, Bailey Tyson, Madison Fox, Kayla Sampley, Gabri-elle Harkins, Mallory Mobley, Aislan Hooker, Lani Foster, (front from left) Emily Tedesco, Sydnee Watson, Shelby Mechum, Shelby Kuhr and Madyson Perry. Not pictured are coaches Ms. Carrington, Kristian Burnham and Ryan Andrews.

The BCHS Competitive Cheer team would like to recognize the following businesses for their Gold Sponsorship support, because with-out them this would not be possible: Harrington insurance, Arlington Toyota, American enterprise Bank, Thomas Construction, Wayne Conn Plumbing inc, Anita Vining, Fraser’s Hospital, Walmart DC, and Dr. Futch at Baker Vision Care.
