COMPLETE SMILE MAKEOVERS IN MACCLENNY
MACCLENNY FAMILY DENTISTRY
Truly,
complete
dental care in
one office is
rare these days.
Many times,
a dentist will
send you to
other offices
for specialties
such as
complicated
extractions,
implants and
dentures. At Dr.
Derrick Carter’s
office in
Macclenny, you
can have all
of your dental
procedures
done at this
one location. Dr. Carter offers all
forms of dentistry including: dental
exams and cleanings, periodontal
care, root canals, prescription
whitening treatments, simple
extractions and surgical extractions
including wisdom teeth. He also

dental implants, implant dentures,

Dr. Derrick Carter is a local
man. He grew up in Jacksonville
and graduated high school from Ed
White, class of 1974. His mother
and father grew
up in Folkston
and Lawtey,
respectively. Dr.
Carter has been
married to his
wife, Judy, for
35 years and has
had six children:
Matthew, Donnie,
Caleb, Jonathan,
and twins, Nathan
and Anna. All of
his children were
raised here. This
year, 2016, marks
21 years that Dr.
Carter and his family have lived in
Baker County.
Derrick knew he wanted to be
a dentist from the time he was 8
years old; his uncle was a dentist,
and thus began his fascination
with the profession. He spent his
summers working with his uncle as
a chair-side dental assistant, and he
continued to do so while earning a
Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from
Newberry College in SC. In 1984 he
graduated from the University of
Florida College of Dentistry. His first
5 years as a dentist were spent with
his uncle’s practice in Bradenton,
FL, but in 1989, he came back to
his hometown of Jacksonville to
begin his first solo practice on the
Westside of Jacksonville. In 1995
he moved his family to Macclenny,
but after falling in love with Baker
County, he closed the office on

BCSO SIGNS THE BLUE LIVES
MATTER CAMARO
We’re sending a SHOUT OUT to Country Federal Credit Union for sending
some love and appreciation to our Baker County Sheriff’s Office. Last week
they sent a Firehouse Subs lunch over to them just to say ‘Thanks for all you
do.’ Be sure to take the time to thank an officer whenever you can!
MRC OPEN HOUSE FRIDAY
On July 21st, the Baker County Sheriff’s officers had the honor of signing
the hood of the “Blue Lives Matter Camaro” in honor of Officer Mark Larson
of JSO. The Camaro is being
driven around Florida, stopping
at the Sheriff’s Offices and Police
Departments to get officers to
sign the hood, which will later
be given to his wife Erica and
their son. The Camaro was also
signed in Washington DC by Honor
Guard officers from all over the
country. Officer Mark Larson was
shot several times by a suspect
he had pulled over in 1993. He
lost a forearm after the shooting
and never fully recovered from his
injuries. He died at the age 50.

COMMUNITY WIDE
PRAYER PLANNED
We are blessed to live in a
community that believes in the
power of prayer. We have rarely
been to a function in Baker County
that did not start with an opening
prayer. So it only makes sense that
before the school year starts, there
should be a time to pray over our
schools, students, teachers, staff,
parents and anybody else directly
tied to our school system. On
August 7th, the entire community
is encouraged to come out to Baker
County High School at 3:00PM to
begin a prayer service that will
open up the heavens and create an
atmosphere of safety, learning and
camaraderie for everyone. Once
prayer has opened this special
service, everyone will be given
instructions as to where they should
go from there. Participants will be
given the chance to pray over the
different schools around our county
until each one has been saturated
with our community’s petitions
for a productive 2016/2017 school
year. So mark your calendars for
August 7th at 3:00PM for a powerful
session with the Lord and all your
neighbors and let’s get this year
started off right. And remember,
even if you cannot make it out that
Sunday to be there in person, then
we ask that you lift your voice and
request protection and a strong
learning environment for our current
generation of school kids. Pray from
your home or place of business, but
please set aside just a few minutes
on this day and pray.

As the summer comes to an end,
so do the programs that coincide.
Throughout the summer, Emily Taber
Public Library has been offering
free events almost every Tuesday
through June and July. This past
Tuesday they brought in Carol Baker,
local artist and yogi, to wind down
the season with a much needed yoga
class for the kids. Carol has been a
pioneer for both art and good health
in our community for decades. She
is also no stranger to the Home
Town Journal either and has been
recognized for her tenacious spirit
and continuous volunteer work at
places like Macclenny Elementary
School and the Council on Aging
Friendship Center. She is also one
of the extraordinary instructors at
The Yoga Oasis in Glen Saint Mary
and loves to share her practice with
anyone who is truly interested in this
for Fall

Yoga is not an exercise class,
nor a religion; it is a practice which
means it is constantly being built
upon and added to. There are basic
poses and postures that can be
taught to literally everyone. If you
can sit and breathe, then you can
do yoga. If you can twist from side
to side, bend over or lay still for five
minutes, you can do yoga. If you can
move past your need to be perfect
and accept where you are today
with the idea you are only going to
get better, then you are ready for
yoga. The question you probably
ask is, “Can kids sit and breathe or
lay still for a short amount of time?”
Absolutely, with the right instructor!
The group that Carol taught last
Tuesday did a lot more than that
though. They went through many
of the poses you would expect in
an adult yoga class
but the names were
often changed to the
names of animals,
or directions were
given that were
familiar to children,
such as opening a
book. They followed
every request from
beginning to end
while parents looked
on in amazement.
There really is no age
limit, young or old,
for yoga. It’s healthy for everyone,
and it is the perfect end to another
perfect summer.
To all the volunteers and special
talents brought to the library and
Woman’s Clubhouse for the kids this
summer, thank you for your time and
talents. To the staff and volunteers at
Emily Taber Public Library, thank you
for putting together a full summer
lineup of fun events. We can’t wait to
see what you do next year!

New Lawyer
Joe grew up in a small town, then
moved away to attend college and law
school. He decided to come back to his
hometown because he could be a big
man in this small town. He really wanted
to impress everyone. He opened his
new law ofce, but business was very
slow at rst. On one of his rst days,
he saw a man coming up the sidewalk.
He decided to make a big impression on
this new client when he arrived.
As the man came to the door, Joe
picked up the phone. He motioned
the man in, all the while talking. “No,
absolutely not. You tell those clowns in
New York that I wont settle this case
for less than one million…”

“Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed
to hear that case next week. Ill be
handling the primary argument and the
other members of my team will provide
support.”
“Okay, tell the DA that Ill meet
with him next week to discuss the
details…”
This sort of thing went on for
almost 5 minutes, all the while the
man sat patiently as Joe rattled
instructions. Finally Joe put down the
phone and turned to the man. “Im sorry
for the delay, but as you can see, Im a
very busy man. What can I do for you?”
The man replied, “Im from the
phone company… and I came to hook up
your phone.”

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT &
COFFEE WITH A COP
Our law enforcement officers put
their uniforms on every day then
step out to do a job that puts their
very lives in danger, and they took
an oath and vowed to protect our
county to the best of their abilities,
regardless of the outcome. They
have spouses, children, parents and
friends just like you. They have bills
to pay, houses to clean and meals to
make, just like you. The difference
is that when YOU call, THEY are
the ones that come running. What
would our world be like if they were
not empowered to do that?
Over the last few weeks the
BCSO
has been
inundated
with letters,
gestures
and random
acts of
kindness
from people
in our
community
that
understand
this and
want to
show
support

to our local
police officers.
In response
to the
community’s
outpouring,
BCSO recently
released this
statement on
Facebook, “We
here at BCSO
would just
like to take a
few moments
to THANK for
the amounts
of thank you
letters, FB
messages, and
our community
stopping
deputies just
to tell them
“You are appreciated”, paying for
their coffee and gift cards to buy
lunch. In today’s world, it is kind
gestures such as these that remind
each of our deputies why they
come to work every day, to serve
and protect. Our community has
yet again, reminded us all why we
are so blessed and thankful for this
county we live in. Thank you all, for
your kindness, appreciation, and
most of all, continued prayers for
each of our deputies, that at the
end of their shift they are able to go
home ‘Safely’ to their families.”
In perfect timing, our officers will
be taking part in not one, but two
different events over the next week
to help continue building strong
community relationships while
tearing down the walls that mass
media attempts to present. The first
event will be held at Macclenny
Memoria Park (aka the Duck Pond),
on Tuesday night, August 2nd from
6PM – 8PM. Here our uniformed
protectors, such as our Baker County
Police, Firefighters and EMS, will
join with friends and neighbors for
the annual National Night Out. The
event has been held annually in our
nation since 1984 and is sponsored
by the National Association of Town
Watch in the United States and
Canada. It is an annual communitybuilding campaign that promotes
police-community partnerships
and neighborhood camaraderie to
make our neighborhoods safer and
a better place to live. Our Baker
County officers look forward to this
event every year, but with all the
negativity going on in the country
today, the event has an even greater
meaning. The BCSO is about having
a night of fellowship and fun with
the community and our county
coming together as one. As always,
there will be blowup slides for
the kids, free hotdogs, chips and
drinks along with a game truck, live
music and plenty of give-aways.
The sheriff’s office and BCI will
have their K-9 units to demonstrate
their skills while Baker Correctional
Institute will be there recruiting
potential new state employees.
Don’t miss the fun or the opportunity
to reach out and shake the hands
of those that keep our county safe.
This night is for everyone, so come
out and show your support. If you
miss your chance at NNO to meet
and greet our officers, there will be
another event.
The second event is Coffee with
a Cop. Come and join some of our
local officers for a fresh cup of coffee
on Thursday morning - August 4th,
from 7AM to 10AM at Starbuck’s in
Macclenny. Have some coffee and
conversation and learn more about
our local law enforcement. Both of
these events are free to the public
and are great opportunities to show
your support and appreciation, and
in turn, a chance for them to show
theirs!

This recipe has been enjoyed by
Margaret Jones Connor of McClenny.
She is the daughter of Tressie and
Lewis Jones, parents talented in
their own right. Miss Tressie was
an excellent cook, and both her
daughters, Bernice and Margaret,
know how to season and flavor the
blandest food. Margaret’s father,
Lewis, was a 4th generation Baker
County carpenter and his son, Ray,
a 5th. Ray was over the construction
of the riverfront Friendship Park
of Jacksonville and other notable
sites and almost single handedly,
voluntarily constructed Darbyville
in Heritage Park Village as well as
providing valuable assistance with
many other replica buildings in the
park. He handmade each Darbyville
door and inside shelf. Bernice (Jones)
Raulerson is the Village’s first
part-time paid employee. Like Ray,
Margaret has been a Heritage Park
Village executive board member and
full-time volunteer since the Village
foundation was laid.

SPIRITUALWARFARE
Calling the Called
“Blessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord; and the people whom he
hath chosen for his own inheritance”
(Psalm 33:12). This nation was called
forth by God. Our founding fathers took
action with God on their side to gain
freedom for this land. America was
born with God as its Lord, and it has
been said that America has provided
more missionaries to share the Gospel
than any other nation. America has
been blessed for spreading the Good
News of Jesus!
The Apostle John, after having
followed Jesus upon this earth, wrote
about the love of God, Christian living
and Christian conduct, and he wrote
that the spirit of the antichrist was
already at work in the world (I John
4:3). That spirit is eroding the very
foundation upon which this nation
originated. God is asking us: Whose
side are we on?
Time has come for us to soul-search
and make decisions about what we
believe. Do we know what we believe?
Others do. They see our beliefs in our
actions. If we believe the Bible, we
will act upon what the Bible says, for
actions speak louder than words. Do
we take the Bible seriously? Do we
believe there will be consequences
James 2:23, NIV
“And the scripture was fulfilled that
says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it
was credited to him as righteousness,’
and he was called God’s friend.”
Be a friend of God.
for our sinful wrong-doings? Do
we believe God will bless us and
our desires when we refuse to take
authority over things in our lives that
are against Him and His Word?
Do we want to be a nation for
God, or not? Unrighteousness has
been accepted as the norm. Are we
convicted about the Bible, or do we
care what happens? A nation who
believes in God will recognize what is
wrong and give it up when the blood
of Jesus is applied to it for salvation!
We have a sin problem that can
only be addressed in the spiritual
realm, for the blood of Jesus is the only
saving power from sin. Many have
conviction in their hearts and fail to
respond with action. God loves every
human being and wants them saved!
We must tell people of God’s love, that
they can go to Him just as they are to
receive eternal life. Purification will
then follow, for love covers a multitude
of sins.
There is no such thing as neutral!
We are either for God or against Him!
Who is on the Lord’s side? That is
being revealed, for God is calling the
called!

side will you stand on?

The Catty
Shack Ranch is a
wildlife sanctuary
in Jacksonville
whose mission is
to provide a safe,
loving, forever home
for endangered big
cats, and to educate
the public about
their plight in the
wild and captivity.
Their primary focus
is in the rescue of
cats from serious
situations.
The Catty
Shack Ranch
Wildlife Sanctuary
is a nonprofit 501©3
corporation. A board
of directors was
established in 2000 and
has taken many steps to
help ensure the best care
possible for the animals
in need. The board
adopted a no breeding,
no selling, no trading and no buying
policy to help ensure every animal
that is given refuge here will not
be jeopardized by irresponsible
growth. All of the animals taken in
at the Catty Shack Ranch have a
permanent home for life.
It’s volunteers that keep the
Catty Shack running. They could
not be where they are today if not
for all of the volunteers. The Catty

TI
The 2016 spiny lobster
season opened with the two-day
recreational sport season July
27th and 28th. It is followed by the
regular commercial and recreational
lobster season, which starts August
6th and runs through March 31st.
Planning on catching some of these
tasty crustaceans? Here is what you
need to know before you go.
No one wants a small lobster
for dinner. Make sure you check
the size. Measuring devices are
required, and lobsters harvested
while diving must be measured
while they are in the water. If the
carapace length is not larger than 3
inches, it must be left in the water
(see image on how to measure spiny
lobster).
To protect the next generation
and your future chances to have
lobster for dinner, harvest of eggbearing females is prohibited.
Lobsters have hundreds of
thousands of eggs that are easily
visible and attached under the tail.
While most lobsters have completed
reproduction by the start of the
fishing season, finding lobsters with
eggs is common in July and August.
Stick to the bag and possession
limits so there will be enough
lobsters for all your friends and
family. You may possess no more
than the daily bag limit of lobsters
when you are on the water. When
you are off the water, you may
possess no more than the daily bag
limit on the first day of the sport
season and no more than double
the daily bag limit on the second
day. During the August 6th to
March 31st regular season, the daily
recreational bag and on-the-water
possession limit is six spiny lobsters
per person for all Florida waters.
Bring a cooler big enough to hold
the entire lobster. Spiny lobsters
must remain in whole condition
until they are brought to shore.
Also, do not take spiny lobster with
any device that might puncture,
penetrate or crush its shell.
Have the proper paperwork.
A recreational saltwater fishing
license and a spiny lobster permit
are required to recreationally
harvest spiny lobsters unless you
are exempt from recreational license
requirements. Information about
these licenses and permits
is available online at
MyFWC.com/License or you may
purchase your license today at
GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.
Doctor Visit
A gentleman was having some
physical problems and his doctor
told him that he had to drink warm
water with Epsom salt one hour
before breakfast. At the end of a
week he returned and the doctor
asked if he was feeling better.
The man said that he actually felt
worse. “Did you drink warm salt
water an hour before breakfast
each day?” the Doc asked. “No,”
replied the man somberly, letting
out a sigh. “I could only do about
15 minutes!”
