Integrated Waste Management Systems, the company
with plans to build a medical
waste incinerator east of Macclenny, has not been deterred
by opposition to the project
from some residents and the
lack of support among county
commissioners.
The company recently crafted a lengthy report addressing
environmental concerns expressed during public hearings
in late March and early April.
The 25-page document was
sent to the Baker County Commission along with a summary
flyer and letter from Integrated
Waste Management Systems
[IWMS] president Marvin Jay
Barry on April 16, about 45
minutes before commissioners had their second monthly
meeting.
IWMS aims to construct and
operate up to four incinerators,
each burning a maximum of 30
tons of medical waste per day,
which is equal to 4-5 tractor
trailers, according to the report
dated April 13 and labeled “Air
Quality Technical Response
Document.”
Within hours of the company submitting the information
by e-mail, Commissioner Michael Crews voiced his opposition to the project publicly at
the Monday night board meeting. Three other commissioners contacted by The Press the
next day said they either did
not favor the company’s plans
or were undecided, but all
wanted to vote on the project
sooner rather than later.
In his letter to commissioners, Mr. Barry decried the use
of “inaccurate information and
fear mongering to turn public
officials against what I believe
represents a tremendous opportunity for the citizens of
Baker County.”
Mr. Barry’s letter, dated
April 17 but sent the day before, reminded commissioners that work on the estimated
$22 million project began more
than a year ago and local officials welcomed the proposed
incinerator project and its economic impact, which the company estimates at $200 million
through build-out.
“The process has been expensive, long and complex —

but also very positive until recent weeks,” Mr. Barry wrote.
“In the days since the first public hearings our company has
been demonized, our representatives have been called liars
and my personal integrity has
been called into question ...
“My team of advisors now
tells me that some members
of the board would prefer this
project to quietly go away ...
We can accept losing if board
members honestly decide,
based on the facts, that your
duty as representatives of your
constituents demands that you
deny our application.”
County Manager C.J.
Thompson said this week that
IMWS representatives want to
meet with county commissioners individually, but otherwise
there’s been no progress on the
application.
He said no vote related to
proposed facility, or the independent third-party review of
IWMS’ plans the company has
agreed to fund, is expected during the county commission’s
next meeting on May 1.
The air quality report itself
and the one-page flyer that arrived on April 16 both attempt
to explain the potential air
quality impacts, more stringent regulatory limits on air
pollution from medical waste
incinerators set to take effect in
2014 and the myths surrounding both.
For instance, the report
states the regulated pollutants
expected from the facility will
account for one-tenth of a percent (0.1%) of the total emissions and that the new pollution limits are 46 to 99 percent
lower, depending on the specifSee page 2

for the second annual Korean and

speeches by veterans of Vietnam,
Iraq and Afghanistan, a special

Baker foreclosures
on the rise in 2012

clines.
Some have speculated the
spike is the result of a self-imposed slow-down in foreclosure
filings last year by lenders that
came in response to reports of
fraudulent or shoddy documentation from banks in 2010.
About 45 percent of the 2012
foreclosure filings here through
March came from the nation’s
five largest mortgage servicing
companies: Bank of America,
Wells Fargo, Citi, JPMorgan
Chase and GMAC.
The companies recently settled a lawsuit brought by the US
Attorney General and the attorneys general of 49 states, including Florida’s Pam Bondi, related
to abusive practices.
A website created by the attorneys general [www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com] says
the companies “routinely signed
foreclosure-related documents
outside the presence of a notary
public and without really knowing whether the facts contained
were correct.”
The six companies pledged
some $25 billion to settle the
suit, which was the largest multistate settlement since the Tobacco Settlement in 1998.
“This settlement will provide
substantial relief to struggling
Florida homeowners, and ensures that our state gets its fair
share of the relief being provided nationally,” said Ms. Bondi
in a press release following the
settlement in February. “This
agreement holds banks accountable and puts in place new protections for homeowners in the
form of strict mortgage servicing
standards.”
The settlement allows the
companies to escape civil liability, but not criminal liability, for
the “robo-signing” scandals that
surfaced in late 2010 and exposed abuses by lenders and servicers across the country.
Florida’s share of the settlement money is approximately
$8.4 billion, most of which will
be used during the next three
years for loan modifications,
including principal reductions
and refinancing at lower interest
rates, and payments to those who
lost their homes due to abuses by
lenders, according to Ms. Bondi’s
website.
Oklahoma was the only state
not included in the settlement.
Authorities have also been
warning the public about scammers already attempting to capitalize on the settlement.
Reports have surfaced in Alabama of scammers calling borrowers claiming to be one of the
major banks involved in the settlement and offering a cash payment to customers, the attorneys
general website states.
“If the caller is from your loan
servicer, they will be able to tell
you your personal information
because they will have it,” the site
reads. “You should never provide
your personal information (including bank account numbers,
social security numbers, etc.) to
an unsolicited caller, no matter
what they promise you.”

ic pollutant, than current limits
created in 1997.
It also points out other permitted and non-permitted sources of air pollution that exist today
in Baker County like backyard
trash burning and the joint Macclenny-county air curtain burner
north of the city, which is allowed
to incinerate animal carcasses.
One of the IWMS project’s
more vocal critics, Macclenny
resident Allison Broughton, said
this week the company’s recent
pushback against concerns about
the environmental risks associated with the proposed incinerator,
haven’t changed her opinion.
She concedes much of the information circulating among opponents of the project, most of it
found online, relates to existing
medical waste incinerators, not
new facilities meeting the latest
emission caps.
“But we don’t know what 2014
holds or what the impact will be
from the new standards,” Mrs.
Broughton said. “It’s hard to say
with absolute certainty you can
trust something that adheres to
a future date. They keep pushing
2014, but it’s 2012 right now and
so far what we know is not good.”

GLEN TOWN COUNCIL
To seek sewer easements
Though prospects for a grantfunded sewer system are still
years off, the Town of Glen St.
Mary will get busy this month obtaining back-lot easements from
property owners to route the underground lines.
The town council during its
regular meeting on April 17 approved easement forms presented by its attorney Joel Foreman
of Lake City, and Mayor Juanice
Padgett indicated she would begin surveying property owners
this week.
Glen motorist is
involved in fatality
A Glen St. Mary man was at
the wheel of a pickup truck that
struck and killed a man riding
an electric scooter on SR 16 near
Penny Farms in Clay County.
The accident occurred in the
pre-dawn hours of April 19.
Donnie Mack Griffis, 59, was
driving the eastbound 2007
Chevrolet that struck the scooter
from the rear. David W. Carver,
42, of Penny Farms was dead at
the scene. He was not wearing a
helmet and was thrown from the
Wildfire scooter that was also
heading east.
The Florida Highway Patrol
said possible charges against Mr.
Griffis pend further investigation.
For the time being, Glen will
concentrate on owners willing
to allow 5-foot easements along
rear property lines, in effect
granting the town permission to
use 10 feet for utility purposes.
The only other option would
be sewer lines along property
fronts, which involves considerably more expense because of
pavement, sidewalks and other
obstructions like trees.
Council members spent some
time during their April meeting
discussing how to handle easements with large trees that property owners want to retain. Councilman Jack Reneau said he has
one and wants to keep it.
Attorney Foreman advised the
board to deal with those cases as
they arise, and mentioned that
Glen has eminent domain powers as a last resort. The consensus
was that most property owners
will grant the easements willingly
to get sewer utilities.
The council at Mr. Foreman’s
urging also agreed the mayor
should have the power to negotiate easements, except when complications like trees or other obstructions arise.
Glen St. Mary until the late
1990s owned rear-lot utility easements, but deeded them back to
property owners.
In other business that evening, Mayor Padgett reported
the north side water utility project is complete with the exception of minor checklist items
soon to be resolved before contractor Grimes Contracting gets
final payment on the $493,000
project.
• Following a request by Councilman Steve Rhynehardt, the
mayor said she would check with
the county fire department to determine if insurance rates are reduced now that fire hydrants dot
the town’s north portion.

a colossal failure; a waste of
taxpayer funds that has filled
prisons and done little or nothing to stem the tide of newer
addicts coming into the market. Education, intervention
instead of arrest, treatment instead of jail — you’re going to
hear more arguments on that
side as the squeeze on public
funds gets tighter.
This is not meant to take
away from the more traditional
drugs like alcohol that contribute to a dysfunctional society.
But do people burglarize houses and vehicles to get money
for booze? Maybe some do,
but most of the property crime
(think copper thefts) is drugrelated. They’re either stealing
to get cash for drugs or stealing
drugs.
In a republic like this, with
the freedoms we’re guaranteed (at least for now), the assumption is that we function as
thinking human beings making
rational decisions that benefit
us all.
It’s bad enough when citizens don’t participate through
ignorance or apathy — or both;
when they don’t bother to vote
or make themselves aware of
their surroundings; or they
can’t think critically because no
one teaches that anymore.
But it’s worse when they’re
too stoned to participate — or
care.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Taxing less well-off
Dear Editor:
We are more than willing to pay the entire EMS fee. I believe we
have a wonderful group of people who respond to emergencies. This
service is more than worthy of a yearly fee.
However, I fail to understand why the people who own homes
valued at under $50K should bear the brunt of the proposed new
fee. I want to know if any of the commissioners live in homes valued
at less than $50K?
Those of us living in the less expensive homes are doing it for two
reasons: either we cannot afford more expensive real estate or we
like living in homes already paid for. If this fee is enacted, it should
be the same for everyone!
I do not believe in taxing the rich to give to the poor, but neither
do I believe in taxing the less well off to furnish the better off with
lower taxes.

County

grateful
Dear Editor:
I have talked to people who
live in surrounding counties
and heard them complain
about the inadequacy of their
emergency and law enforcement services. Many of us here
in Baker County should think
about how lucky we are.
We have a great EMS and
fire departments in Macclenny
and the county that respond
quickly to emergencies and
fires. We also have a great
sheriff’s department that has
been instrumental in lowering
the crime rate and whose deputies respond in a timely manner with both professionalism
and courtesy.
We also have county correctional officers who quietly
and without recognition by
the public work at the county
jail to keep lawbreakers off the
streets.
Please take time to thank
these public servants who
are under appreciated and in
many cases underpaid.

Letters are welcome, but must contain the signature of the writer, a telephone number and city of residence.
Letters must reflect opinions and statements on issues of current interest to the general public.
An acquaintance queried
the other day: which is harming Baker County more — prescription pill
abuse or methamphetamine?
Hmmm.
The correct
response is, I
suppose, who
cares? They both are taking a
toll destined to bring misery
to users and heartache to their
families. They merely do so to
varying degrees.
Is the abuse worse here
than elsewhere? The correct
response to that, I suppose,
also is who cares? Whether it’s
worse here than, say, in Clay or
St. Johns counties misses the
point. We don’t live in Clay or
St. Johns counties, and whatever problems beset us because so
many people chase drug habits
are our problems.
Here’s what we do know.
Local cops will tell you a high
percentage of people they come
in contact with (traffic stops,
disturbance calls, etc.) seem to
have prescription bottles close
by. Some are prescribed legally,
some are not.
We’re talking about mood
altering drugs here, not allergy medicine. Pain killers,
sedatives, anti-anxiety meds
— those kinds. People are swallowing them at alarming rates,
mixing and matching them and
in many cases chasing them
with alcohol.
Emergency room workers
tell pretty much the same story. Particularly on weekends,
they’re seeing a lot of people
looking for drugs or being
treated for their side effects.
And then there’s the overdoses, some of them fatal.
When you see an obituary in
the newspaper of someone too
young to die from something
other than an auto accident or
disease, in many cases that’s
what’s involved. Gone forever.
What about meth?
You’ll notice this edition of
the newspaper doesn’t have
anything in it about a new meth
lab uncovered (remember the
“mobile” lab they chased down
over the holidays?). Nor was
anyone arrested this week for
buying ingredients for meth in
a local drug store (they can’t be
too bright since the those purchases immediately go into a
database and the cops are notified).
Editions like this are getting
rare. In fact, police are often
told by defendants that meth is

mance from the theme. They had no script, no props or
costumes – nothing except their own creativity.
My high school students were completely out of their
comfort zone and tossed into groups with students from
Texas, LSU, Xavier and other universities from around
the country and expected to perform on their level.
We were invited to bring the one-act comedy Daisy
Fay and the Miracle Man, by Fanny Flagg. My daughter
Sara Beth, who teaches drama and English at the high
school, was in charge of preparing their individual performances.
At first they were worried about how they’d be accepted by the college students. I told them that after they had
seen them perform they would fit right in.
That is usually the way it works. For the first little
while they are looked down at as high school students,
but as soon as they perform and the other students see
their skills, they are treated just like everyone else.
We’ve been attending for a long time. In fact, with the
exception of the University of North Texas, we’ve been
there longer than any other school. It’s unusual to watch
the styles of performance progress over the years.
At the beginning, believe it or not, we were the cutting edge. We were doing very experimental stuff in the
stories we performed. We were using a lot of body movement, multi-media, dance, everything. The universities
were actually more traditional than the high school. People would come up to us and say, “that is so cool. I’ve
never seen anything like that.”
Then the styles of performance changed and we became the traditional and others pushed the boundaries.
Now it has changed, again.
The colleges are writing their own material and we
continued to do shows based on short stories, poems or
novels (this is a theatre festival where you’re not allowed
to perform plays, rather other forms of literature). In
short, much of what you see from the colleges and universities look like expanded versions of Saturday Night
Live skits.
I choose not to do that. Though I write a lot I certainly
do not consider myself as good a writer as Fanny Flagg
or Ray Bradbury or Mark Twain or JRR Tolkien or John
Steinbeck. So why in the world would I pick to do something I wrote over a classic?
Ironically, the pendulum has swung so far to the right
that we are now cutting edge again. Everything old is new
again. This year, after the kids performed their show, a
couple of university students came up to them and said,
“That was so cool. We’ve never seen anything like that.”
The trip is so good for the students on so many levels. In the past we’ve had students offered scholarships.
This year, Chelsea Moore was interviewed by a graduate student at the University of North Texas. The woman
was doing her doctoral dissertation on the effects that No
Child Left Behind had on students and after our performance approached Chelsea about being a part of the dissertation.
The school board has been so great about letting us go
for the better part of a week on a school bus. The students
get to experience college and performance and listen to
lectures and workshops by some of the leading figures
in our field. This year the festival was run by professors
from LSU and Xavier University.
So, while I am sleepy I am also satisfied and recharged
to get ready for what we will hopefully take to next year’s
festival.

Baker County’s unemployment rate continued its downward trend in March, falling to
8.6 percent.
The drop is nearly a full percentage point below the March,
2011 rate of 9.4 percent and half
a percent lower than the previous
month’s jobless rate of 9.1 percent, according to the latest jobs
report from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
Compared to February, 2012,
the labor force grew by five workers, those with jobs rose by 59
workers and those without jobs
fell by 54 workers during the
month of March.
The employment picture here
is mirrored by the improvements
statewide and regionally, the latest statistics show.
Florida’s unemployment
rate declined to 8.6 percent last
month, down from 9.1 percent
in February and 10.5 percent in
March of last year.
Union County with its concentration of public employees had
the lowest March jobless rate in
the region at 6.9 percent, an improvement from 7.5 percent the
month before.
Putnam County had the highest unemployment at 10.6 percent, a drop from 11.3 percent in
February. The highest rate in the
state belonged to Flagler County
at 12.2 percent.
Regionally — in Baker, Clay,
Nassau, Duval, Putnam and St.
Johns counties — the jobless rate
for March was 8.4 percent, the
lowest level since January, 2009,
when President Obama and Governor Rick Scott both took office.
Trade, transportation and
utility job growth continues to
add the most jobs in the Jacksonville metro area, which is defined as above with the exception
of Putnam County, adding more
than 3000 jobs between March,
2011 and March, 2012.
Other industries adding jobs
during the period include professional and business services, education and health services and
leisure and hospitality. Negative
growth occurred in government,
finance and manufacturing.
None of the job figures above
have adjusted for seasonal shifts
in employment.
The state’s next jobs report is
scheduled for release on May 18.

Teachers get more time
for planning in 2013-14
JOEL ADDINGTON
NEWS EDITOR

Baker County teachers will get some extra planning time thanks to the newly-revised calendars for
the 2012-13 and 2013-14 school years.
The school board voted 5-0 to approve the changes the evening of April 16 during its regular monthly
meeting held at Pine Level Church in Baxter to recognize the community’s “academic achievers.”
The new calendars include the addition of two
early dismissal days, bringing the total to eight days
per school year, which spans mid-August to midJune.
The new early-out days will be on September 12,
2012 and March 20, 2013. Teachers also have five
full planning days scheduled for 2012-13 and 201314, respectively.
“I know for some parents it’s not always a popular thing,” school board member Patricia Weeks said
of early dismissals, “but our teachers have so much
paperwork they have to do, and planning, in order to
do well by their students on these standardized tests
they take constantly. They really need the time. And
they’re going to try and educate our folks about why
it’s important to have those early out days.”
Mrs. Weeks pointed to a busy testing schedule
— “six pages, front and back with tiny type” — and
noted that the district has no choice but to comply
with state laws mandating the evaluations.
“I’m not sure it’s always to [students’] best advantage, but we’re required to do it, so unfortunately we
have to do what the state statutes require, so we’ll
continue to do that to the best of our ability,” she
said.
The new school calendars also feature five days
off for spring break, 10 days off for Christmas break
and no school on Labor Day, Memorial Day, Martin
Luther King Day and Veterans Day.
During the recognitions portion of the meeting,
in which students performing well academically
were awarded certificates and Olympic-like medals,
Superintendent Sherrie Raulerson thanked north
county parents for attending the meeting.
“We have a lot of you who come every year because your children do a great job, but I want to personally thank you for not taking it for granted,” she
said. “You could very easily say, ‘We’ve already been
there and done that, they’re going give them a sheet
of paper and that’s great ...’ and just float along. To
me, you’re showing your child how important education is by celebrating with us.”
In other business that evening, the school board
decided to continue its partnership with Northeast
Florida Community Action Agency, Inc. on the summer youth program known as Data Busters, now in
its third year.
The program trains teenagers, ages 14 to 16, to
use Microsoft Office programs like Word and Excel
and places them at work sites, including in school
district offices, earning minimum wage.
The training will take place at Baker County Middle School. The program runs from June 18 through
July 27.
“And it’s at no cost to us, so it’s such a benefit to
the school district as well as the students,” said Mrs.
Raulerson.
The top performing students in the program also
receive prizes like lap top computers, printers and
other hardware at the end of the summer.
“It’s a phenomenal program,” said Tamekia Jackson, director of the Community Action Agency’s
Macclenny office.
She said 20 teens have already been selected
from a pool of 46 applicants, but other students can
be added as alternates should spots open up in the
future.
Also approved last week:
• Two out-of-state field trips; one by 25 Keller Intermediate School students to Wild Adventures on
May 17 and the other by Baker County High School’s
drama group to the Petit Jean Performance Festival
in Morrilton, AR, which ended this week.
• Two, $500 retroactive coaching contracts for
the boys basketball team for the period from July 1,
2011 to June 30, 2012 with Sanchez L. Coleman and
Gerald Clayton, both of Sanderson.
The board also approved a $250 contract with
competitive cheerleading coach Ryan Andrews of
Jacksonville.
• A property agreement with sheriff’s office Deputy Ben Anderson for the school district to furnish
a mobile home site on school property in exchange
for the officer maintaining security at the school on
weekends, holidays and other days when school is
not in session.
• An agreement with ABC Childcare and Learning Center, LLC to offer childcare services to parents ages 16 to 21 attempting to earn a high school
equivalency diploma. First Coast Workforce Development, Inc. is funding the childcare.
• Salary increases for the high school’s two Air
Force Junior ROTC instructors: Major Joseph Chiofolo (from $60,979.40 to $62,068.60) and Master
Sergeant Elizabeth Law-Wallace (from $39,660.40
to $39,742.40) in accordance with the Department
of Defense’s minimum salary requirement.
The school district is responsible for paying half
the salaries.

A criminal complaint for
grand theft was filed April 17
against a Live Oak woman who
allegedly took $17,500 worth
of jewelry from the home of an
Olustee man.
Tommy Rollins called police
when he was told by relatives of
Alaina Szortyka, 19, that she took
the jewelry, a designer wallet and
purse and a hair dryer from his
residence on Michael Cason Rd.
ten days earlier.
The witnesses said they went
with Ms. Szortyka to Walmart
where she cashed in nearly $100
in coins taken from the victim.
The jewelry included a necklace, bracelet, a ring valued at
$4200 and a $3500 watch, the
victim told Deputy Patrick McGauley. The officer said he was
unable to contact the suspect.
In other reported thefts:
• Arica Rhoden said seven
rings and a necklace with a total
value of $1150 were taken from
her residence on Tim Rhoden
Rd. north of Macclenny between
February and April 16.
Deputy Robert Simkins said
Ms. Rhoden contacted police the
next day and told him she was
unable to locate any of the items
at local pawn shops. They were
stored in a jewelry box.
• A stove, refrigerator and
window air conditioner were taken from a rental mobile home be-
wit
longing to James Crews of Baxter
and located on CR 122.
The landlord told Deputy McGauley the trailer had been vacant several months and the theft
was discovered April 22 when a
neighbor went there on a maintenance call and found the front
door ajar.
The theft may have occurred
the previous night. The property
had a combined value of $1400.
• A complaint for criminal
mischief was filed April 19 naming Mark Lyons, 51, of Glen St.
Mary as the person who tossed
an object into the windshield of
his 2000 Toyota pickup while
traveling northbound on SR 228.
Nicholas Gadsby, 21, of Macclenny told Deputy Clements Leo
that Mr. Lyons leaned out of the
window of an oncoming vehicle
about 12:20 pm and threw the
object that cracked the glass.

Manager: pond
dirt was donated
Is it true that County Manager C.J. Thompson used the Baker
County Road Department to dig the retention pond on his new home
site? Many people I talked to said they saw road department dump
trucks coming out of his lot at the Farms at Glen Plantation full of dirt.
I don’t know if this is true or not, but this is just what I heard.
Mr. Thompson’s response:
“Thank you for the opportunity to address the
question that was raised. It is correct that the Baker County Road Department dug a pond on my
property on Glen Farms Drive. The road department dug the pond in exchange for the dirt, which
has been a common practice here in the county for
many decades. In fact, the road department has
dug nine ponds for citizens in the past 10 years
and we have another one in the queue as soon as
we have a need for additional dirt. This process
allows the county to acquire the dirt needed while
minimizing the cost to the taxpayers.
C. J. Thompson
“The county hauled approximately 667 loads
of dirt from my property and it is currently being
stored at St. Mary’s Shoals Park for future use on county road projects.
The current market value of a load of dirt is approximately $100 per
load. The total market value of the dirt that was donated to the county
in exchange for digging the pond is $66,700. Factoring in labor and
equipment costs, this is still a very favorable proposition for the county.
“Understanding the scrutiny that comes with my position, I took
additional steps to ensure that there was no perception of any wrongdoing during this process. I hired a private individual to haul the 37
loads of dirt that was needed for my home a distance of approximately
200 yards at a cost of $325. Another private company spread the dirt
needed for my foundation at a cost of $510. I made sure that no county
trucks dumped any dirt or any other material on my property throughout this entire process in an attempt to alleviate any misunderstanding
that I was receiving preferential treatment based on my position.
“While it was not mentioned in the reader’s question, I would also
like to take this opportunity to address a misconception I’ve heard
that the road department also cleared approximately 3.5 acres of land
where my home is being built. There is absolutely no basis of fact for
this statement. I hired a local contractor to clear my land at a cost of
$3,000.
“I hope this clears up any misunderstandings about this issue. I did
not receive any preferential treatment based on my position as county
manager, but I was treated as any other taxpaying citizen who owns a
piece of property that contains good quality dirt would be. All of the
documents supporting my response are available upon request. Please
feel free to contact me at 259-3613 about this or any other matter in the
future.”

Made threats to
girlfriend, mom
Deputies arrested a Glen St.
Mary man late on April 22 for domestic assault and criminal mischief after he telephoned threats
to his girlfriend and threatened
to burn down her mother’s house
off Woodlawn Rd.
Deputy Jeremy Combs said
he was at the residence of Angela
Norton on Ben Rowe Circle when
Ian Dickins, 30, telephoned Brittany Roton, 20, several times and
threatened bodily harm if she
did not come to his residence on
Aunt Mary Harvey Rd. to retrieve
property.
Mr. Dickins also texted the
estranged girlfriend and stated
“she would be dead” if she did
not answer the phone, according
to the deputy.
Meanwhile, several other officers went to the suspect’s address, and after several attempts
to get him to come out, he surrendered without incident.
The criminal mischief count
stemmed from him breaking a
window at the Norton residence
where the girlfriend had gone.
He also attempted to kick down
the front door, the mother and
daughter said.
In a second case involving
telephoned threats, a criminal
complaint for violating a protective order was filed against Andrew Wright, 57, of Trenton, FL
on April 19.
The previous afternoon, he
allegedly telephoned estranged
wife Donna Wright, 42, at a residence in Olustee and argued
with her over a child support
check. Ms. Wright also told Deputy Chris Walker the ex-husband
threatened to come to Baker
County “to put a bullet in her.”
The officer was unable to
make contact with the accused.
• A complaint alleging two
counts of domestic violence was
filed the morning of April 18
against Darrin Gibbons, 24, of
Macclenny for alleged attacks
on his wife Consuelo McCall, 24,
and her sister at a residence on
McIver St.
Ms. McCall told Deputy Clements Leo her husband became
enraged after she brought her
sister Christina Soto, 30, to her
residence about 7:45 am.
Mr. Gibbons allegedly
knocked Ms. McCall to the floor,
then dragged her across the living room to the front door. When
Ms. Soto blocked his exit, he
then allegedly dragged her by the
hair down an outside wheelchair
ramp.
The deputy noted the sisters
had disheveled hair consistent
with their stories. Mr. Gibbons
fled the area when police were

domestic violence protection order by being with his estranged

Police were called to the scene
when witnesses saw the couple
arguing and cursing loudly while
seated in a parked vehicle outside
the store about 3 pm on April 20.
Deputy Tony Norman questioned them and learned that Mr.
Doss was banned from contact

Sheriff: FOP
donations won’t
benefit BCSO
The sheriff’s office has been
fielding complaints this week
from Baker County residents
about the Fraternal Order of Police in Jacksonville soliciting donations by phone.
Sheriff Dobson said while
the Fraternal Order of Police, or
FOP, is a fine organization, residents should be aware that the
money it raises in no way benefits
the Baker County Sheriff’s Office
[BCSO].
He said there are a number
of Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office
personnel who reside in Baker
County and work in Jacksonville, but beyond those officers,
nobody here will be helped by
donations made to the organization. The sheriff also wants local residents to know that BCSO
does not solicit donations from
residents.
“They’re a great fraternal organization, but we are not members and we never make calls
asking for donations,” Sheriff
Dobson said.

Five physicians opening offices
Influx of medical practices in the county
JOEL ADDINGTON
NEWS EDITOR
reporter@bakercountypress.com
There’s been influx of new
doctors to Baker County in recent
weeks, giving expectant moms
and residents in general more
options when selecting a physician.
Two doctors specializing in
obstetrics and gynecological
care have launched practices in
Macclenny and Glen St. Mary,
respectively, in response to the
Baker County Health Department ending its contract with Dr.
Roland Powers at the end of February.
Dr. Powers’ colleague at North
Florida OB/GYN, Dr. Carole L.
Neuman, is accepting new patients at Macclenny Pediatrics
on S. 6th St. She also practices
in Jacksonville Beach, Yulee and
the Southside of Jacksonville.
Dr. Neuman graduated from
the Emory University School of
Medicine in Atlanta and completed her residency in OB/GYN
at University of Florida Jacksonville Health Science Center
in 1987 before beginning private practice. She’s married with
one daughter and enjoys tennis,
shopping and spending time with
family.
Then there’s Dr. Joseph
Charles, the chief of obstetrics at
Shands Lake Shore in Lake City,
who wants to build regular office
hours here on Wednesdays at the
Glen St. Mary office of Children’s
Medical Center on US 90.
The Michigan State University Medical School graduate
has been instrumental in getting
funding for a $2 million renovation of labor and delivery facilities at Shands Lake Shore, which
includes robotic gynecological
surgery.
Dr. Charles will begin regular
office hours on May 2. His nurse/
midwife Chris Rhoden will be
working here as well.
The Lake City resident has
been married for 23 years with
two children.
“There’s a mind set that you
have to go to Jacksonville or Orange Park for pre-natal and having babies,” he said. “I’d like to

Lake City.
It’s more
Dr. Neuman
convenient for Baker County patients
in many ways.”
There’s also new primary care
physicians who recently began
offering services locally.
Dr. Hanai Hisham was recruited to Fraser Hospital from
private practice in Winter Haven, FL.
The 51-year-old father and
husband hails from Egypt, where
he completed medical school before finishing a residency in New
York and fellowship in medical
informatics in Litte Rock, AR.
Dr. Hisham them moved to
Miami to start a family practice
and subsequently spent eight
years in St. Petersburg, also practicing family medicine. He returned to Egypt “for a few years”
before relocating to Winter Ha-
ven.
Following a meeting with Fraser’s director, Dennis Markos,
Dr. Hisham said he “felt like Macclenny would be the right place
for me at this stage in my life.”
His wife and children, a 14-yearold daughter and 12-year-old
son, now in Syracuse, New York,
will join him here after completing the school year.
He said as the hospital’s resident doctor, he intends to add
to the facility’s roster of physicians, grow patient numbers and
implement more non-critical, inpatient services.
“My interest is really in preventative medicine,” said Dr.
Hisham, noting the high rates of
obesity and smoking in the community. “That will be my next
focus ... trying to get a handle on
that by promoting weight loss
and healthy lifestyles.”
He’s available at Fraser Hospital from 8 am to 5 pm Monday
through Friday. But when the
doctor is not practicing medicine,
he enjoys soccer, golf and sailing.
Two other primary care physicians, Dr. Hernan R. Chang and
Dr. Nydia C. Ros, have opened
an office on S. 5th St. in the space
an intoxicated state when he was
discharged and booked at county
jail four hours later.
In other arrests:
• Dennis Simon, 39, of Sanderson was charged with disorderly intoxication and resisting
arrest following a fight outside
the Country Club Lounge on SR
121 South about 2 am on April 21.
Deputy Robert Simpkins said
Mr. Simon refused to calm himself and continued yelling when
he and other officers broke up the
disturbance at closing time. He
also resisted when officers took
him to the ground and handcuffed him.
• Two Glen St. Mary men were
jailed following a disturbance at
the Citgo station south of Glen St.
Mary on CR 125 about an hour
later.
Deputy Bishara was at the station and said he confronted an
intoxicated Jared Fama, 19, as
he attempted to enter a vehicle
to drive away about 3:30 am and
warned him not to do so.
Minutes later, a fight broke
out between Mr. Fama and acquaintance Preston Burns, 21,
and it was witnessed by the officer. During a routine search, he
found a small amount of marijuana on Mr. Burns and arrested
him for misdemeanor possession.
Mr. Fama was charged with
disorderly intoxication and fighting.
• A pedestrian walking along
Interstate 10 near Sanderson the
afternoon of April 21 was arrested on a warrant from Lake County for failure to appear in court on
a suspended license charge.
Deputy Patrick McGauley said
he questioned Timothy Geiger,
24, of Ocala and an acquaintance
and learned of the warrant during a routine identity check.
• Lavar Thompson, 32, of

Dr. Chang said he’s been practicing at Jacksonville area hospitals for about four years and
many of his patients would travel
from Baker County for treatment. The infectious disease specialist said he’s been planning to
open an office in Macclenny for
about a year.
Dr. Chang and Dr. Ros opened
Jacksonville Primary Healthcare

Dr. Ros attended Old Dominion University for medical school

Chang completed San Marcos

DUI after crash in his yard
An east Macclenny man was
arrested the afternoon of April 17
after he crashed a pickup truck
into another vehicle on his Deerwood Circle property.
Michael A. Bailey, 39, was
booked at county jail for DUI,
reckless driving and driving on
a suspended license. He has a
lengthy record of alcohol and
drug-related crimes that dates
back more than a decade.
Deputy Shawn Bishara said
he was called to the scene to quell
a disturbance that involved the
suspect and his brother, Melburn
Bailey, 41, who was working on a
BMW sedan that was struck by
the 1985 Toyota pickup driven by
his brother.
The officer noted the younger
brother was highly intoxicated
and staggering, and family members said he had ingested excessive prescription medication.
He was taken to Fraser Hospital for observation following the
incident about 2:45, and Deputy
Bishara noted that he was still in

April’s Yard of the Month: the Nettles
Howell and Shirley Nettles of Glen St. Mary were chosen to showcase the Yard of the Month by the Garden Club of Baker
County. The Nettles, both retirees, took up gardening in a big way and graced their yard off CR 139B with a fence laced
with jasmine vines, fruit trees and bushes, ornamental trees and shrubs, then
annuals to add a burst of color. They are especially fond of their “lemon glow”
camillia bush, and often sit in their gazebo or on a nearby bench to enjoy the
fruits of their labor. If you know of someone worthy of the designation for having an outstanding yard or garden, please call 259-6064.

Nineteen teams will converge
at the Baker County High School
track the evening of Friday, April
27 for the American Cancer Society’s all-night benefit Relay for
Life.
Teams from the high school,
Walmart, Northeast Florida
State Hospital and many other
local businesses and groups will
participate in the relay by keeping at least one team member
walking the track for the 18-hour
fund raising event.
It all begins at 6 pm with a victory lap for cancer survivors and
a reception in their honor. After the sun goes down, luminary
bags will be lit in remembrance
of those who lost their lives to the
disease.
The luminaria ceremony
starts at 9 pm.
The remaining event schedule features music, singing and
dancing; a martial arts demonstration from North Florida
Academy of Martial Arts; specialty laps for guys, gals, runners
and other themes; a sand castle
building contest, a talent competition, voting for a “Movie on the
Lawn” to be shown at 3:30 am,
bingo and many other activities.
The relay will conclude at
noon on Saturday.
Many of the teams will have
campsites set up around the tract
with games, food and drinks for
sale. All of the money raised will
benefit the American Cancer Society.
The team from DuPont, for
example, will be selling hamburgers on Friday and breakfast
on Saturday and the Woman’s
Club team will have baked goods
and pickles for sale. Also available will be hot dogs, soda, tea,
water, nachos, peanuts, popcorn
and craft items.
The public is welcome to attend and contribute the Baker
County Relay for Life’s fund raising goal: $35,000.
Event chair Kristie Fletcher
said this week that teams have
already raised $15,000 toward
the goal.
No bicycles, skateboards, roller blades or “heelies” are allowed
on the track. Anyone under 18
years old must be chaperoned.
Alcohol, smoking, tobacco and
pets are prohibited as well.
For more information, please
call Ms. Fletcher at (904) 7089013.
CITY OF MACCLENNY
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
REGARDING REVISIONS TO THE
ENTERPRISE CORRIDOR
ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS
The City Commission of the City of Macclenny, Florida shall
consider Ordinance No. 12-04, “A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 4-82 OF THE UNIFIED
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF
MACCLENNY, FLORIDA; TO SPECIFY THE ENTERPRISE
CORRIDOR BOUNDARIES; TO REVISE SECTION 4-82(B)(1) AND
(2) TO REMOVE RESIDENTIAL USES AND MINI-WAREHOUSES
BY RIGHT; TO REVISE SECTION 4-82(B)(5) TO REQUIRE THE
SAME FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR ALL PROPERTIES; TO
CORRECT A SCRIVENER’S ERROR IN SECTION 4-82(B)(6)(D);
TO ADD SECTION (B)(6)(G) TO REQUIRE ALL UTILITIES BE
LOCATED UNDERGROUND; TO SPECIFY THE NUMBER AND
TYPE OF MEDIAN INTERSECTIONS; TO ADD SECTION 4-82(B)
(8), DEDICATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.”
The City created the Enterprise Corridor (“EC”) zoning classification
with the intention of discouraging strip and other disorganized
commercial development patterns from occurring along State Road 228
(Fifth Street), the gateway to the City of Macclenny. The EC regulations
contain provisions that allow for the eventual widening of State Road
228, landscaping buffers, service road easements and building setbacks
with limited joint use access points and full median openings. These
regulations provide direction for the desired look for this important
corridor.
The Commission will be considering revisions pertaining to (1) extending
the boundary of the Enterprise Corridor from Wolfe Drive to Lowder
Street; (2) specifying the obligation of right-of-way dedication for future
widening of SR 228; (3) eliminating residential dwellings and miniwarehouses from the list of permissible uses; (4) ssuring the same front
yard building setback is required of all properties; and (5) specifying the
locations of signalized full medians and directional medians
A public hearing requiring City Commission action on the proposed
Ordinance will be held on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 in the City Commission
Chambers at City Hall, 118 East Macclenny Avenue, Macclenny, Florida.
The City Commission meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the public
hearing will be held shortly after the meeting is called to order. Interested
persons may appear at the hearing and be heard regarding the adoption of
the proposed annexation.
The proposed Ordinance may be obtained from the office of the City
Clerk at City Hall on Monday through Friday during regular business
hours. Should any person decide to appeal any decision made as a result
of this hearing, such person will need a record of the proceedings and may
need to ensure that a verbatim record of these proceedings is made. In
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a
special accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding
should contact the City Manager at (904) 259-0972 at least 48 hours prior
to the time of the hearing.

MWC prayer breakfast
Tim McGraw’s mom a speaker
We’d like to Welcome You to an
All New & Improved Burkins Chevrolet
SERVICE DEPARTMENT
SHIRLEY PADGETT
WOMAN’S CLUB
The 2012 Woman’s Club of
Macclenny Annual Prayer Breakfast was held at the clubhouse the
morning of April 19.
The guest speaker was Rev.
Joshua Potts, pastor of the First
Assembly of God Church of Macclenny. He gave a very uplifting
message on the values of unity in
the family, church, community
and nation.
His lovely wife Ashley together with her father Daryl Giddens,
delivered a beautiful hymn for
the enjoyment of all.
A special guest speaker who
was visiting in our community,
Betty Trimble, better known as
the mother of country singer Tim
McGraw, gave a heartrending
talk about various types of domestic abuse.
Among other club guests were
representatives of the school
board, county commission and
constitutional officers.
The Prayer Breakfast is an annual event of the Woman’s Club
of Macclenny open to the community. It recognizes the importance of our freedoms of religion
and speech.
Five days later the club celebrated GFWC Federation Day.
The Woman’s Club of Macclenny was organized in 1919
and became a part of the General
Federation of Women’s Clubs the
following year.
The existing clubhouse was
completed in 1930. Then in 1938
the adjoining lot to the south of
the building was acquired. In

1958 the club sponsored a Junior
Woman’s Club, which functioned
until 2001.
In 1968 the Lions Club, which
had met in the building for a
number of years was deeded
one-half interest in the property.
In 1994 our name was changed
to GFWC Woman’s Club of Macclenny.
The clubhouse was placed on
the Baker County Historical Registry in 1995. In 2001 a pavilion
was built in Heritage Park to recognize our past presidents and
women of the year.
In 2008 and 2010 our club
was recognized as the Most Outstanding Club in the Florida Federation for our membership category. In 2010, we celebrated our
90th anniversary.
Over the years the building
has hosted weddings, showers,
banquets, luncheons, fund raising events, flower shows, health
screenings and a wide variety of
other events. It’s also been used
as a health clinic and living quarters for homeless families.
As a service organization,
our membership has worked
throughout the years to improve
our community and the quality of
life of our residents.
What an honor it is for us to
continue the work and ideals
of those dedicated women who
came before us in our current
area of Community Service: Arts,
Conservation, Education, Home
Life, International Outreach and
Public Issues.
Our service department staff: front row, left to right, Brian, Jeremy, Karen, Robert, and Derek.
In the back row is owner Larry Burkins, Jason and Lee.
Larry Burkins of Burkins Chevrolet
welcomes his neighbors and friends to
stop by and check out his new service
department. There are several new features in the service department starting
with the latest technology to diagnose
your vehicle’s problems.
We want to ensure our customers
have access to a trained technician who
can help prevent and fix most makes
and models. Any customer who brings
in a vehicle for service or repair will receive a FREE 27-point inspection.
One of the other new additions to
Burkins Chevrolet’s service department
is new highly trained staff with over 120
years of combined experience in the industry.
In conjunction with the changes in
our service department we have changed
to competitive pricing the prices in our
parts department. Save money and gas
by buying your factory parts locally. We
will match any dealer’s price.
The new service manager, Robert
Matthews, has family in Macclenny and
brings a wealth of mechanical training
to the service department along with
a great attitude when dealing with our
customers. He can do a fabulous job in
communicating situations with your
automobile.
“I want to personally extend an invitation to area residents to stop by and
check out our friendly, highly trained
technicians in the service department.
With the combination of talent and
friendly service staff I guarantee you an
unforgettable service experience,” said
Mr. Burkins.
One of our new service technicians,
Brian, is straight from Detroit where
he worked for GM Corporate helping
service departments and technicians
around the nation troubleshoot problems.
We have also added technicians who
specialize in:
• Transmissions
• Diesel mechanics
• Electrical systems
Another technician new to our staff,
Jason, holds General Motor’s top honor
as a ‘World Class Certified GM Technician’.
• RV Maintenance & Repair
50 amp service available
• Drivability
“Our service technicians are held to
a very high standard with inspections
and certifications through GM making
our service department the most highly
trained group of mechanics in the country and we are fortunate to have them
right here in Baker County,” said owner
Larry Burkins.

Heartfelt thanks
On April 2, 2012, James Lee
“Jamie” Smith was admitted to
St. Vincent’s Medical Center’s
intensive care unit. Jamie had
pneumonia and ARDS (acute
respiratory distress syndrome)
with a fever of 104. Consequently
he was put in a medically induced
coma and on a life-support system that included a ventilator.
He remained in this state for 10
days.
However, all this caused a
strain on his heart and just before midnight on April 12, his
heart stopped beating and he
passed away.
His wife and family were greatly saddened by Jamie’s unexpected death. But as is typical of Baker County, many of you rushed to
our side. The Macclenny Church
of Christ and many others sent
food. Flowers, cards, phone calls
and visits came in abundance.
Guerry Funeral Home gave us a
beautiful service that included
several eulogies. We acknowledge all who were able to attend.
A host of friends and family realized our grief and saw to our
needs without hesitation.
How do you repay this type of
kindness? Just saying thank you
does not seem enough. Nevertheless, we extend a huge thank you
to all of you and just know in your
hearts how truly appreciative we
are.
In loving memory of
Sherry Lynn Stephens

Sunrise 1912 - Sunset 1984
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall
abide under the shadow if the
almighty. Psalm 91:1
God didn't promise days
without pain, laughter without rain. But God did promise
strength for the day, comfort for
the tears and light for the way.
And for all who believe in His
kingdom above, He answers
their faith with everlasting love.
Seek ye the Lord while he may
be found call upon him while he
is near. Isaiah 55:6

‘06 salutatorian
graduating with
PhD in pharmacy
Matthew Wright of Macclenny will graduate at the top of his
class on April 28 with a doctor of
pharmacy degree from Florida
A&M University in Tallahassee.
Dr. Wright is the son of Vicki
and Wayne Wright and was the
Baker High School co-salutatorian in the Class of 2006.
He will now begin a one-year
residency at Shands at the Unversity of Florida in Gainesville.
Dr. Wright, 24, said he was
motivated to the enter the field in
part due to the influence of Lonna Wilkes of Macclenny, a family
friend who also went through the
FAMU program.
His family moved to Baker
County from Jacksonville when
he was 7, and while at BCHS,
Matthew played basketball three
years under Coach Charles Ruise.
“Coach was definitely a great
influence on me and taught me a
lot about the work ethic,” said Dr.
Wright in an interview this week.
For the past year, he has been
on clinical rotation at various
Jacksonville area hospitals.
His co-salutatorian in high
school was Jason Cantrell, currently in the UF engineering
graduate program.

Will host Matanzas in regional contest
BOB GERARD | SPORTS
The Lady Wildcat softball team won the
district title with wins over Terry Parker and
Paxon. The district win means that the girls
will host Matanzas in the regional quarterfinal on April 25 at 7 pm.
Haley Crews struck out six and allowed
only two hits as BCHS defeated the Parker
Braves 15-1 on Thursday, April 17. Crews had
a strong effort from the mound and backed it
up by going 4 of 4 from the plate.
BCHS jumped on top 7-0 in the first in-
nings. Doubles from Crews and Shelby Gatto helped the Cats to an early lead. Crews,
Tina Hauge, Gatto, Kylie Holton, Clara Harvey, Taylor Crummey and Tayler McCann all
scored.
The Cats got a run from Holton in the second and a pair from Crews and Hauge in the
third to stretch their lead to 10-0.
Parker got a run in the fourth but BCHS
added five more in the bottom of the fourth as
Brooke Roberts, Genie Taylor and McCann all
scored. Crews brought in Taylor and McCann
with a towering 3-run homer. Holton finished
the scoring with a solo home run.
Crews again took the mound in the championship game as BCHS beat Paxon 6-1. The
Eagles had beaten Bishop Kenny 2-1 to advance to the title game.
BCHS trailed 1-0 in the top of the second,
but came back with five runs in their half of
the inning to take the lead. Crummey, Harvey,
Roberts, Taylor and Crews all scored.
Crews finished the scoring with a run in the
fourth.

BOB GERARD | SPORTS
The Baker High Wildcat baseball team ended its season with
narrow loss to Paxon the evening
of April 24.
Despite entering this week’s
district tournament with a number 2 seed and momentum from
previous wins, the boys fell 2-1 in
the ninth inning.
The Cats got a lot of momentum with wins against Columbia and Oakleaf prior to the final
game of the season, however.
The Cats were at home on
April 16 for Senior Night and they
honored their graduating seniors
with an 8-1 victory over the CHS
Tigers. Brad Stone picked up the
win on the mound.
Offensively, the Wildcats
broke out with 11 hits. Kyle
Horne led the attack with three
hits. Ethan Wilkerson, Jon Lambright and Hunter Hanks (2
RBIs) added two hits apiece.
“We needed that game to get
back some confidence at the
plate,” said Coach Fred Matricardi.
The Cats got a big win on the
road over the Knights of Oakleaf
12-4 on April 19.
Jared Crews earned the win
on the mound. Ethan Wilkerson
led the offensive attack with two
hits and three RBIs.
“We need Ethan to get hot at
the plate,” said Matricardi after
the game. “He has the ability to
carry a team when he’s swinging
the bat. “
The Wildcats finished the regular season with a 17-8 record
and opened district tournament
play this week at Bishop Kenny.
“Our goal all year has been to
win the district,” the coach said.
“I feel if we get hot, we have a
chance to make a run. We still
haven’t played our best baseball
yet and hopefully we can get going and play for a while.”

Lifters
miss title
by 3 points
BOB GERARD | SPORTS
All good things eventually
come to an end, as did the amazing run of the BCHS weightlifting team that fell just three points
shy of a fifth consecutive state title last week.
The Cats lost to Blountstown
High 31-28 in Kissimmee.
“We had every kind of drama
you could have,” said Coach Scott
McDonald. “We had Hunter Sullivan going for the state record of
355 pounds in the clean and jerk
for the 183 class to Kendrick Singleton winning the state championship in the 199 class.
Each lifter scratched and
clawed their way to the runnersup position.”Singleton was the
individual star for the Cats. He
benched 375 and had a 310 in the
clean and jerk for a 685 total and
a win in the 199 class.
Sullivan didn’t make the state
record and took second with a
305 bench and a 320 clean and
jerk for a 625 total in the 183
class. Jeremy Wannamaker lifted
365 in the bench and 310 in the
clean and jerk for a second place
in the 219 class.
Terry Givens was the runnerup in the 238 class with a 380
bench and a 295 clean and jerk.
Darrius Green took a third place
and Dillon Mills a fifth place.
“Although I am sad to see the
streak end, I am very proud of
the work and effort of the team to
achieve the award that was presented to them at the state meet
this year,” said McDonald. “We
will be back and will be looking
to get back on top of the podium.”
