pills to an undercover informant at
Walmart
on March
28, a day

and possession.
Police say Carol Ann Parker of Eastwood Dr. sold $180
worth of the narcotic to the
informant in the store’s parking lot about 10 pm and she
now faces second degree felony
charges for possession and sale
of the prescription medication.
Investigators also recovered
a cell phone and more than
$300 in cash from the vehicle
occupied by Ms. Parker, an offense report by Investigator
Michael Hauge states.
The report also notes that
sound and video surveillance
equipment malfunctioned and
did not record the transaction.
The six suspects arrested on

Board to mull medical waste incinerator
Standing room only
crowd packs chamber
MIKE ANDERSON
PRESS STAFF
The first of two public hearings to consider a Pennsylvania company’s plans to build a
medical waste incinerator on 24
acres north of the Walmart Distribution Center drew a standing-room-only crowd at a Baker
County Commission meeting
on the evening of April 3.
Although officials of Integrated Waste Systems Inc. assured the audience that the
plant would be designed and
built to provide the best pollution control systems in the
nation and meet the most
stringent environmental regulations, many residents urged
the county to reject the pro-
posed development.
A final decision on a proposed development agreement
with the company likely will be

Neighbors irked
at Walmart DC;
Who’da known?
Impressions
Whether a medical waste incinerator is located east of Macclenny or not will turn on many
variables that are yet to be sorted
out.
Maybe it’s safe; maybe it’s not.
With all the regulatory agencies that have to pass muster on projects
like these, and the fact that environmental regulation is the “new religion” of the 21st Century, it’s feasible the project would pose little
threat to the surroundings if approved.
The parade of public hearings attached to a project like this is there
for a reason. The public needs to be heard, as do the people who want
to locate it here with the promise of “clean” industry and much-needed jobs.
What puzzled yours truly in the discussion so far was that people
who live around Enterprise East at Trailridge are upset at the nearby
Walmart Distribution Center.
Who knew?
Walmart DC has been here a decade, and unless yours truly is misinformed, it has been a resounding asset to Baker County. The jobs
pay well, the operation is pollution-free, it’s been a boon to our tax
base and from day one the management over there has been the most
community conscious of any organization, private or public, in the
county. Ever.
What am I missing here?
Several neighbors of the DC spoke up at a meeting last week on the
proposed incinerator, not about that project but about how they’re irritated with the noise pollution from Walmart.
They can hear the outdoor intercom system, the “beep-beep” of
backing trucks, and air brakes.
Not to say they aren’t sincere in their complaints, but where have
they been? If those complaints have been voiced to Walmart, we can
only assume they have been so privately. It’s not come up in any public forum that this writer is aware of.
Perhaps now the Walmart management will address these concerns; maybe tone down the outdoor intercom system a bit. There’s
not much they can do about the “beep-beep” or the air brakes. If
neighbors don’t like the “hiss” of trucks breaking, they’re not going to
like the “blam” of trucks slamming into each other.
They probably won’t like the wailing of employees getting mowed
down by backing vehicles that don’t have the “beep-beep” devices.
Had such objections been raised when Walmart was considering
locating here [with plenty of competition from other communities
that wanted the distribution center], those neighbors would likely
have been swallowed up by the sheer number of people who wanted
the facility.
Little has changed in a decade.
If the Walmart DC has had an adverse effect on the area, it’s the
truck traffic through downtown Macclenny — big rigs whose drivers
are advised by their GPS systems to attempt turns at busy intersections like 5th and 6th Sts.
Yea, it’s a bit of a pain. But every time I’ve backed up at a stoplight
(no “beep-beep” on my SUV!), I gladly do so. The reason?
Those trucks are going and coming from a facility that has been a
great asset to Baker County. One that it’s hard to imagine not being
here.

Neighbors wary of incinerator plan;
weary of noise from the Walmart DC
JOEL ADDINGTON
NEWS EDITOR
[email protected]
Weary of the noise and traffic nuisances present since the
Walmart Distribution Center was
built a decade ago, property owners near the Enterprise East Industrial Park expressed concern
last week about the proposed
medical waste incinerator facility
being planned north of the distribution center.
Representatives from Integrated Waste Management Systems of Pennsylvania, the company with plans to build the
facility by the end of 2013, met
with nearby residents and landowners the evening of March 29
to review details of the project
and answer questions.
While attendees had many
questions regarding truck traffic, potential health and safety
hazards, noise concerns and the
workforce the company intends
to hire, they also complained
about existing problems connected to the Walmart Distribution Center and feared another
industrial project could exacerbate those problems.
Integrated Waste Management Systems’ consultant Janet
Herrick from Onsite Environmental Consulting of Jacksonville kicked off the meeting showing a slide presentation about the
project to some 25 residents and
property owners in attendance.
She said the company’s president Marvin Jay Barry, a retired major general in the US Air
Force, and vice president David
E. Henritzy, president of BioHaz Solutions, a Pennsylvaniabased medical waste transportation company, have developed
the project “slowly and methodically” so as to “do it right, the first
time.”
“They are the dynamic duo,”
said Ms. Herrick.
Both men were present for the
hour-and-a-half meeting and responded to questions following
Ms. Herrick’s presentation.
Darryl Register, director of
the Baker County Development
Commission that owns the property on which the proposed facility would be constructed, said
he’s been working with the company for more than a year on the
project and expressed his confidence in both the company and
its plans.
“I’m extremely comfortable
with the company and even more
comfortable with the technol-

ogy,” said Mr. Register in his
opening comments.
The company intends to fill
what it termed “rapidly growing need” for medical waste disposal facilities, said Ms. Herrick.
She said there are only 57 active
bio-medical waste disposal facilities in the nation and only one in
Florida that’s “open use,” meaning its available for use by any entity with medical waste.
That facility, located in Apopka, FL, is owned by Stericycle,
Inc.
New, stricter environmental
regulations on the disposal of
such garbage — which consists of
human blood, tissue and things
that come in contact with them
like gauze or needles — will be
fully implemented in 2014. They
will increase demand even more,
said Ms. Herrick, because some
existing facilities will not meet
the timetable or simply shutdown.
“Those regulations are very,
very strict ... I can’t emphasize
that enough,” said the consultant, who was hired to do public
outreach for the project.
She then explained in general
terms the facility’s “environmentally-conscious” design and the
process that would incinerate 95
percent of the medical waste entering the facility.
The incinerator will be manufactured by Penram Diversified
Manufacturing Corporation, also
of Pennsylvania, which Ms. Herrick said has 25 years’ experience
in the industry. She said the company has made incinerators and
air pollution control systems that
are used in 40 countries through-
out the world.
The air pollution control system bound for the facility here
will use extreme heat and oxygen
to burn the waste, explained Ms.
Herrick. The resulting gas will
then be filtered and the final byproduct will be “smokeless, odorless and inert,” she said.
The emissions may not be visible to the naked eye at all times,
she said, but under the right
weather conditions, the emissions could appear as fog.
Company representatives say
the facility’s process will burn
away 95 percent of the medical
waste and the remaining 5 percent, which has been rendered
inert, may be dumped at landfills. Unprocessed medical waste
is prohibited in landfills.
The facility will also feature
a number of safety protocols
that would stop the processing
of waste should the system malfunction, representatives said.
Ms. Herrick added that one
of the most innovative features
of the facility will be its ability to
produce electricity to offset its
power needs.
The project is being proposed
in two phases.
During the initial phase, the
company intends to hire 59
workers by the end of 2013. After the second phase is built, the
company plans to hire another
40 to 50 employees.
Following Ms. Herrick’s presentation, questions started
coming from the audience, many
with homes, families or land in
the vicinity.
Given the sensitive nature
of biological hazardous waste,
Dennis Whelan asked, are local
fire departments equipped and
trained to respond to an emergency?
Mr. Register assured him the
Macclenny Fire Department personnel are trained to respond to
emergencies involving hazardous
materials.
Another questioner asked
whether the company would
hire local residents rather than
import workers from elsewhere.
That question brought the company’s president to his feet.
“I’ll be completely up front
with you,” said Mr. Barry. “As a
veteran myself, I want to look at
hiring veterans and local people
here from Baker County. They
will be given consideration in the
employment process.”
Sounds emanating today from
the Walmart Distribution Center like tractor trailer air-brakes,
backup warning beeps and the
center’s loudspeaker system used
to direct drivers also drew the ire
of residents.
“We get to enjoy all that
speaker talk,” said neighboring resident Terry P. Norman.
“We haven’t had a peaceful night
since that place opened.”
“Will there be any noise barriers?” asked another audience
member.
Mr. Register said noise from
the proposed facility should not
pose a problem because the incinerator and related equipment
will be enclosed inside buildings.
He also said he believed that
management at the Walmart
Distribution Center would be
happy to address the concerns
voiced by neighboring residents

that evening.
“They’re always willing to
work with the community,” said
Mr. Register.
Integrated Waste Management Systems’ incinerator facility is expected to draw some
5-10 delivery trucks a day during
phase one and an estimated 1520 trucks per day by build-out,
according to company representatives.
The size of the smokestack,
which will require a height variance granted by the Baker County Commission, is estimated to be
under 100 feet. “We will have the
minimum stack height required
for the facility,” said Mr. Barry.
Residents also voiced concerns regarding air quality, saying that winds typically blow
from the northwest, which puts
residents in the Allen Acres and
Mattox Farm subdivisions and
those in a mobile home park on
US 90 directly downwind of the
proposed facility.
Company representatives reiterated that the facility will be
built to comply with the most
stringent air quality standards
the federal government has ever
had. And should the facility malfunction, it will automatically
shut down, said Ms. Herrick.
Near the end of the meeting,
county commissioner Jimmy
Anderson, a builder and construction contractor himself, said
the environmental regulations in
place today from the St. Johns
River Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the
US Environmental Protection
Agency are more than adequate
to safeguard public health.
“If you can get anything
passed St. Johns, FDEP and the
EPA, you’re a miracle worker,”
said Mr. Anderson. “If they can
do that, they’re johnny on the
spot, I’m telling you.”
The back and forth between
residents and company officials
also included discussion about
the volume of medical waste to
be incinerated and the dangers
posed by accidents, either at the
facility or while the waste is being
transported.
“What is a day’s work,” someone asked.
Between 30 and 60 tons of
waste per day could be processed
through the facility, respond-
ed company representatives,
though Mr. Barry said the latter figure would be unlikely “for
safety reasons.”
With regard to safety, Mr.
Barry stressed that environmental regulators would be closely
monitoring the facility to ensure
the company is adequately managing any risks to public health
and safety.
“We’re even providing an office for the EPA so they can look
over our shoulder at all times,”
he said.
The company’s vice president,
Mr. Henritzy, who has operated a
medical waste transport company, Bio-Haz Solutions, in Pennsylvania since 1995, assured the
audience that drivers are specially trained and equipped to respond to emergencies.
“And knock on wood, we’ve
never had a spill or an accident,”
Mr. Henritzy said.
Even after hearing about the
safety protocols, liability insurance and environmentallyfriendly practices planned for the
facility, some at the meeting remained concerned.
“Diesel fuel was totally safe at
one point, too,” said Jim Gatlin.
“In the past, there’s been so
many places that met all the regulations, and then a disaster happens,” said Carolyn Conway, who
owns a tract of land adjacent to
the proposed project site.
Mrs. Conway said later that
she’s not opposed to the project, and it may even increase the
value of her property. “I hope it
works out for these gentlemen
and our county,” she said. “We
just want to know we’re safe.”
After the meeting, Joey Johnson, who lives in the Allen Acres
subdivision about a mile from
the site, was not supportive of the
project.
“I have five kids,” he said, explaining he was fearful the development could pollute the environment. “Cancer rates are
already really high out here.”
Mr. Henritzy said he thought
the meeting went well.
“It was what we expected,” he
said, adding that he hopes to continue the partnership between the
company and the community so
that the same people concerned
about traffic, noise or safety at the
meeting will one day become the
company’s biggest supporters.

My Side of
the Matter
Facebook fans
‘What you had to say ...’
There was much talk about the proposed medical waste incinerator project
this week and The Press’ Facebook page
was no exception. The day before the
Baker County Commission’s hearing on
Tuesday, April 3, readers shared their
thoughts on the plans. Here’s some of
what they had to say ...
Debra Gnann: “Maybe someone should look into the reasons
why Duval County doesn’t have
bio-medical incinerators, then the
residents of Baker would say, ‘NO!’”
Michael Buchanan: “Medicine
is here for the long term. So it’s a
good investment for the long term.
Plus, job openings in Baker, that’s
good pay. That’s awesome! Someone in Baker is in on it or they see
it as good for the county. Either,
way, it’s good to see progress and
building in this town. I just hope
it continues for the kids growth in
this town.”
Robert Foster: “We keep opposing everything that wants to
come in to the county and then
complain about not having jobs in
the county. How many jobs would
this create and what positive affects would it have? I’m sure the
EPA keeps a close eye on this kind
of thing and it’s gonna go somewhere, so why not in Baker?”
Gina Daly Tanner: “We have
enough health problems in this
county already. We don’t need or
want this ‘crap’ in Baker! How many
more cases of cancer do you want
to hear about? Not worth it!”
Kaycee Greif Heinz: “I agree
with some of you about the counties priorities. However, bringing
new jobs should be a top priority
and since the EPA has much more
stringent requirements for these
facilities, I do not think we will
have the health issues. This is medical waste not hazardous waste.”
Charles Warren: “Trail Ridge
already borders the county. If we
could store some spent nuclear fuel
rods, we would have the tri-fecta of
waste. What the heck is wrong with
this picture?”
up for some herbal medicine.
We steer clear of him. He’s
not the kindly guy from that
Santa Clause movie with Tim
the Tool Man. No sir, he carries
a lot of spare change on his runs
and he’s packin’ heat.
Enough about him. Back to
me.
It’s a tough job being the
Easter Bunny. You get frustrated coloring a half-dozen
hard boiled eggs. Think about
me. Day in, day out I’m coloring
eggs. I don’t have a workshop
and elves like Santa. It’s me and
a few apprentice bunnies doing
all the work.
My fur looks like a rainbow.
That’s another thing. I don’t
look anything like those guys in
bunny suits that take pictures
at the mall. They’re just creepy
if you ask me. They’ve got that
forced smile on their plastic faces and bug eyes. They all look
like they’ve had two dozen cups
of espresso.
I’m a rabbit. I look like a rabbit.
I’ll tell you what also gives
me the willies. Chocolate bunnies.
How would you feel giving kids a chocolate likeness of
you knowing that the first thing
they do is bite off the head. It’s
kind of like cannibalism.
The chickens feel the same
way about Peeps. I like a Peep
or two with my morning coffee,
but I keep it on the downlow. I
don’t want to upset the chick-
ens. It’s bad for business.
You see, I don’t lay those
eggs. Rabbits don’t lay eggs.
We’ve got a nice little co-op set
up with some chickens. They
do the heavy lifting, we do the
coloring. It’s a nice gig but not
without its problems. Our lawyers are forever keeping Tyson
and Springer Farms and Perdue and those big poultry companies at bay. They want a piece
of the action. They say they can
give us more eggs for less money.
Not interested. You know
what they feed those chickens?
Trust me, you don’t want to
know.
Something else to get
straight.
Do not buy your kids live
bunnies or chickie for Easter.
Seriously.
Three-quarters of all bunnies
and chickies bought at Easter
don’t live until Christmas. Kids
get tired of them when they stop
being cute and cuddly.
Get a pet rock instead.
There you have it. I’ve got to
go wash up and get the Bunny
Bentley ready for the big night.
Yep, I travel in style. Ever wonder how we get in your house?
Nope. The chimney’s reserved
for Santa.
You can keep on wondering.
I’m a rabbit, not a rat. I’m not
giving away the secret.
Happy Easter and brush
your teeth after eating all your
goodies.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Stop sign woes worsen
Dear Editor:
As a resident of Glen St.
Mary, I feel the need to express
my feelings on George Taber
just as others have.
This stop sign problem is
only getting worse. I travel
this road, usually at night, and
lately I have witnessed cars
running the stop signs when
there is in fact no church services going on. However, the
bigger problem I am finding is
that kids are speeding up very
quickly to “jump” the cross
walk that the church has had
put up.
Also on numerous occasions
I have witnessed kids trying
to cut down or take down the
stops signs. I, like you, would
love to see this happen, but in
the correct fashion.
I truly agree with you on the
rotating stop signs at the cross
walk instead of the unneeded
two stop signs that are in place
now.
This county has been bullied by churches too much,
first with no alcohol sales on
Sunday, another stupid law,
and now this.
What’s next?
The churches are putting
tax money in Duval County’s
hands on Sundays. Honestly,
it makes me want to move out
of the county, and I’m not the
only one trying to get out now.

30 months. He also admitted violating probation in two older cases of trafficking and dealing in stolen property.
Court records reflect that Mr. Irish twice
violated probation before the latest cases.
He was arrested late last year for stealing
$4580 in property from his parents, along
with their vehicle, to support a drug habit.
The sentence will run at the same time as one
from Clay County.
In other cases that day, Lester Yarbrough,
33, drew a prison term of two years after entering pleas to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, violating a domestic violence protection order and false imprisonment of his
ex-wife and three children.
Mr. Yarbrough, a convicted felon from
Jacksonville, was arrested at the home of his
ex-wife south of Macclenny in July of last
year. He had been there several days in violation of the protection order, and banned them
from leaving.
Arresting officers, acting on a tip from a
Dustin Irish
Lester Yarbrough
third party, also found him in possession of
a pistol. He gets credit for 249 days in county
jail since that arrest.
The state dismissed five related charges as
part of the plea agreement.
• Hendricks Griffin, 38, of Lake City will
serve 18 months in prison for grand theft
of $820 in electronics from the Macclenny
Walmart in the early morning hours of October 5, 2010.
The sentence runs concurrently with a
similar one from Alachua County. Mr. Griffin
also pleaded to violating a trespass warrant
banning him from the store because of past
shoplifting.
• Euneka Jefferson pleaded no contest to
possession and sale of controlled drugs in
February, 2011. She was given a 14-month
sentence to be followed by two years on drug
offender probation.
Ms. Jefferson, 25, was arrested following
sales to an undercover agent working for the
sheriff’s department.
The state dropped two similar charges in
the plea agreement and she gets credit for 110
days in county jail. She has a criminal record
that includes drug possession, aggravated assault and worthless check passing.
• Judge Rosier ordered James Watson of
Gainesville to jail for a year after he pleaded to
felony DUI, refusal to submit to a breath test
and driving on a suspended license and resisting police without violence.
Mr. Watson, 44, of Gainesville was arrested near Olustee in February, 2011.
The term runs consecutive to other drunk
driving sentences in Alachua County. The
judge fined him $2000, ordered him to DUI
school and suspended his driver’s license permanently.
• Dennis Desue pleaded no contest to sale
and possession of cocaine and will serve nine
months in county jail.
• Brandon Coffin entered a similar plea to
improper exhibiting of a firearm and aggravated assault and drew a five-month jail sentence followed by 18 months on probation.
• Shirley Patton pleaded no contest to forgery and petty theft and will be on probation 18
months and Jason Perry will be in jail a year
for sale and possession of drugs.
An original charge of trafficking was reduced to sale of a controlled substance.

A Jacksonville man was shot in the back after interrupting an armed
robbery on Tom Wilkerson Road the evening of March 30.
William Sofield, 50, told police he heard a disturbance while at 11793
Tom Wilkerson Rd. and left the home’s porch about 10:20 pm to help
James Hankins, 30, of W. Minnesota Ave. in Macclenny, indicates a
sheriff’s office report of the incident.
Mr. Sofield said two armed white males approached him from behind and ordered him to the ground, but because he didn’t lay down
fast enough, one of the suspects shot him in the lower back.
Mr. Hankins said as he was leaving the location the assailants, one
of whom had a handgun and the other a shotgun, robbed him of $47
in a money clip and took his car keys before fleeing, the report by Sgt.
James Marker states.
The officer was dispatched to the address some five hours later and
found a white male, later identified as Mr. Sofield, lying on the ground.
Several people in the area advised he’d been shot.
“Upon closer inspection, it was determined that he had been shot in
the lower back, with a small caliber handgun,” Sgt. Marker noted.
The suspects were described as 5-feet-4-inches and 5-feet-10-inches
tall. A K-9 search was not successful.
Sheriff’s Office Investigator Chuck Brannan said Mr. Sofield and Mr.
Hankins were at a party at the residence but did not know each other.
Jeremy Stafford, 27, and Jerry Stafford, 56, live at the address.
Inv. Brannan described Mr. Sofield’s injury as non-life threatening
and the case remains under investigation.

Mr. Curtis’ tattoo shop at 1435 S. 6th St. in Macclenny.
“pretty obvious.”
Besides, he said he would
“rather them spend money getting tattoos” than on beer or wine.
Mr. Curtis, who said he’s been
in the tattoo trade for 25 years,
said business has declined markedly in recent years and he had
hoped to supplement his income
with the sale of alcohol.
“With the economy the way it
is I’m looking for other avenues to
make a living,” he said.
He said there was additional
space he could use for the sale of
beer and wine adjacent to his tattoo shop in a strip center at 1435
S. 6th St. And he said he would
not tattoo anyone who appeared
to be inebriated.
“We do not tattoo people who
have been drinking a lot,” he said.
Mr. Curtis said he began stock-
NINA’S
ing beer in a refrigerator at his
shop some time ago to offer to
adult customers, a practice that
he said is no more unusual than
some hair salons that “offer women a glass of wine.”
Carl Mays, owner of the strip
center where the tattoo shop is
located, also urged the board to
approve the request.
“Business has dropped off
quite a bit in the past couple of
years,” Mr. Mays said. “I don’t
want to see any more small businesses go out of business in Macclenny.”
His plea also failed to sway
board members.
Assistant City Manager Roger
Yarborough said only one business in town has received a special zoning exception to sell beer
and wine without the sale of food:

Stole e-reader
from benefactor
A Sanderson couple faces twin counts of grand theft and dealing
in stolen property for allegedly stealing an electronic reader valued at
$300 from a woman who had been giving them money and food.
John Hart, 24, and Jeannie Hart, 52, were arrested by Deputy Steven Smith after they were spotted on March 28 at Baker Pawn in South
6th St.
Earlier, the deputy viewed a surveillance video showing the suspects
attempting to pawn the device at Pawnderosa in south Macclenny. The
clerk there said he refused to do so because the screen saver picture was
of someone else and the couple had no charger.
The Android Reader is the property of Carol Tharpe, who reported
it missing March 27 shortly after the couple visited her residence on
Dupree Rd. The victim told Deputy Smith the Harts stopped by “occasionally” when they needed assistance.
Mr. Hart told the officer he sold the e-book to a person in Baldwin
for $80. He did not identify the buyer.
Both charges are felonies.
In other recent home burglaries, a male suspect was seen running
from the residence of Jackie Pope on Crews Rd. the evening of March
30 when the victim’s son returned home about 10:45.
Mr. Pope told Deputy Koty Crews a safe containing $2000-3000 in
cash, rare coins, a gold ring and other valuables was taken.
A window was pried out of a rear door to gain entry.
Police were called to a trio of unrelated burglaries where victims
identified likely suspects, two of whom were either a former occupant
or lived nearby.
• A dozen rifles and shotguns with a value near $6800 and fishing
gear worth $2200 were taken from the residence of Raymond Tems on
Barfield Rd. south of Sanderson between February 1-March 28.
The owner, who was hospitalized, told Deputy Jeremiah Combs that
a relative of his wife who lives on the property was the likely suspect
and had access to the residence.
He also said he purchased two of the shotguns back from Baker Gun,
Gold and Pawn for $640. The inventory of missing items also included
two nail guns.
• An antique glass jug containing an estimated $100 in coins was
carried off from a closet at the residence of Susanne Ahlstrom on Estates St. south of Macclenny during daylight hours on March 27.
She told Deputy Chad Montean she reported it two days later because she thought she could retrieve the property herself. Ms. Ahlstrom
named a relative of her boyfriend as the likely suspect.
• A male relative who had earlier been asked to leave was named as
a likely suspect in the theft of $100 in cash and a $500 pair of Ninja
hair scissors from the residence of George Parrish on Jule Rd. in south
Macclenny.
The owner told Deputy Jacob Satterwhite the theft occurred between midnight and 2:00 pm on March 24. There was no sign of forced
entry.

Struck during row over porn
Police arrested a Macclenny
man for attacking his wife during an argument that began over
the husband’s alleged viewing
of child pornography on a computer.
Joshua Green, 22, admitted
to Deputy Clements Leo that he
grabbed Kayla Bennett, 19, by the
hair and punched her in the arm
during the confrontation at their
South 6th St. residence about 4
pm on March 26.
Ms. Bennett told the officer
she had earlier warned her husband when she caught him looking at porn on his cell phone, and
that day caught him again using
a computer to look at similar material.
Mr. Green became enraged
and struck her.
The incident was reported
initially by Ms. Bennett’s moth-
er Lawanna Self, 40, of Glen St.
Mary. She told Deputy Leo her
daughter telephoned to report
Mr. Green “jumped on her again”
and that she wanted to leave him.
He was booked at county jail
for domestic battery.
In a second, unrelated case,
Christopher Stieger, 27, of Macclenny was arrested for a similar
offense after he allegedly grabbed
girlfriend Samantha Hunter, 26,
as she attempted to leave their
Johns St. residence the morning
of March 30.
Ms. Hunter told Deputy Jacob Satterwhite her boyfriend
became angry when she complained about his treatment of
children at the residence.
She was able to break free of
him and hid in nearby bushes before returning to the residence.

Ms. Pruett recalled how earlier this month her daughter organized a dual birthday party for
Jayden and Allyssa at the Macclenny Park.
“She took charge, every detail,” said the mother, “everything had to be just right. She
even had themes for each of the
kids: for Jayden it was Winnie
the Pooh and for Alyssa The Princess and The Frog.”
The Concord, N.H. native
moved to Baker County at age 14
and graduated from Baker County High School. She lived with her
children in a rented house in east
Macclenny, not far from Guerry
Funeral Home where her service
was held Monday afternoon.
7 busted, 2 sought for drugs
• Jason Jeremy Eddins, 35, of
Macclenny for conspiracy to sell
amphetamine salts and sale of
amphetamine salts.
• Genaro Louis Harris, 26, of
Macclenny for possession and
sale of amphetamine salts.
Following the funeral, a reception was held the Ivey Cottage, a downtown consignment
and re-sell shop. Owner Kathleen Arnold organized the event
in memory of one of the store’s
biggest fans.
“Being a single mom, we hit
Goodwill a lot and Jennifer was
addicted to yard sales. But she
loved the Ivey Cottage,” said Ms.
Pruett.
He mother and father Michael
Kirk, who now lives in Texas and
returned with his family for the
funeral, say they’ll remember
their daughter as a loving mom
whose memory will live on.
Her mother recalled an earlier visit to the beach, that other
place Jennifer loved. She was
taking Jayden for the first time
and said it was important for her
to be with him.
“She told me ‘I want to be
there holding him when his feet
first touch the sand.’ That’s the
way she was,” Ms. Pruett said.

TD Bank in Macclenny.
fronted Mr. Stieger at the address, and he said the disturbance was due to children yelling
in the yard.
He gave the deputy permission to search the house, and the
officer said Mr. Stieger ran ahead
of him and ordered Ms. Hunter
into a bedroom closet, where she
was found hiding.
Four children ranging in age
from 1 to 7 were in the bedroom
and, according to the deputy,
were upset.
Ms. Hunter told the officers
she is pregnant.
The Department of Children
and Families was notified due to
the presence of children.

I don’t know the reason I
stayed here all season. Nothin’ to
show but this brand new tattoo.
But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican
cutie. How it got here I haven’t a
clue.
Jim Curtis doesn’t want his
customers to get drunk like the
character in Jimmy Buffet’s song
“Margaritaville.” But the Macclenny tattoo artist said he would
like to be able to sell them a beer
or two to “help them relax and
be more comfortable” while they
wait for him to ink their skin.
In fact, the owner of Jim Curtis Tattoo told the city Zoning
Adjustment Board on April 2
that the survival of his South 6th
Street business may hinge on his
request for a permit to sell beer
and wine.
Sorry, board members said,
but not in our town.
“Personally, I would not think
beer and wine and tattoos go together,” said board member Bob
Lambright. “Even when I was in
the Navy we didn’t think it was a
good idea.”
After a public hearing during
which Mr. Curtis sought a zoning
exception to allow him to sell beer
and wine on the premises, board
members unanimously denied
his request.
“You’re very well spoken and
clearly very professional,” board
chairman Mark Bryant told Mr.
Curtis. “But, generally, at places
that sell alcohol and no food there
are sometimes problems. And I’m
against marking yourself for life
(with a tattoo) after having a few.”
Board member Dennis Collins said he had “lots of friends
who have tattoos.” But he wasn’t
keen on the idea of selling alcohol
to people waiting to have permanent ink injected into their skin.
“How would you monitor it?”
he asked Mr. Curtis. “How many
drinks would they have to have
before you would say ‘No more?’”
The applicant assured the
board that he would closely monitor customers to ensure that they
do not cross the line and drink
too much, which he said would be

Woody’s BBQ just down the road
from the tattoo shop.
The day after the board meeting, Mr. Curtis said he will consult with his attorney and Mr.
Yarborough before deciding
whether to appeal the zoning
board’s decision to the city commission. He said he felt the zoning board members “already had
their minds made up” before the
hearing began.
“I live in Macclenny but I’m
finding it daily less appealing to
live in Macclenny,” he said.
In other business the board:
• Approved a request for a setback variance to allow a privacy
fence to be erected 4 feet back
from the property line in front of
a residence at the corner of Pine
Circle and Wolfe Drive. The setback, however, applies only to the
side of the property facing Wolfe
Drive.
The applicant, Bonnie Mathis,
said a fence would give her more
privacy and might help improve
traffic safety in the neighborhood
because so many motorists run
through a stop sign at the corner.
“Nobody stops at that stop
sign,” Ms. Mathis told the board.
“Right now it’s wide open and
they can see around the corner.
If nobody’s coming they run right
through it.”
A 5- to 6-foot tall privacy
fence, she said, would obstruct
their view until they get right to
the stop sign.
Aaron Brown, a neighbor on
Pine Circle, told the board that
he thought the proposed fence
would improve traffic safety in
the area.
“I have seen people come
around there sideways,” Mr.
Brown said. “I think a fence in the
neighborhood would be a plus.”
• Approved a request for a zoning variance from First Baptist
Church of Macclenny to erect a
chain link fence, up to 8 feet high,
around the church’s retention
pond across the street.

Took chainsaws from trucks
An employee of a tree trimming service was arrested on March 26 and charged with stealing two
chain saws that were stored and locked in two service trucks parked off SR 121 south.
Joshuas Lentz, 23, of Macclenny admitted to
Deputy Randy Davis that he took the saws with a
total value of $1000 because he needed rent money.
Mr. Lentz at the time was working for Burford Tree,
Inc. of Anniston, Ala., a contractor clearing trees
and brush from power lines.
The company trucks were parked over that weekend and Mr. Lentz had knowledge of where keys
were hidden by the drivers. He made the admission
following an employee meeting called after the theft
was discovered.
Cpl. Davis was present at the meeting.
The accused said he sold one saw to a family member for $50 and the other to a man in St.
George, GA who he did not know.
In other recent reports involving vehicles, the
owner of a fifth-wheel travel trailer and motorcycle
returned to where they were parked off Cow Pen Rd.
on April 1 to find extensive damage had been done
to them.
Dell Pomeroy told Deputy Matt Yarborough he
estimated damage to the trailer at $20,000-plus
and $14,000 to the Harley Davidson parked inside
it.
The owner had not checked the area for a month,
and told the deputy he suspects an ex-boyfriend of
his estranged wife.
Damage to the trailer included destroyed appliances and fixtures, broken windows, cut wiring and
broken skylights that allowed rain and the elements
inside.
The motorcycle’s lights, instrumentation and
body metal were beaten with a blunt object and the
seats sliced open with a sharp object.
• Rhonda Bradshaw of Macclenny gave Deputy Brandon Kiser the names of three persons who
might be responsible for sugar poured into the gas
tank of her 2006 Chevrolet pickup while it was
parked on Creekside Dr.
The vandalism occurred between the evening of
March 28 and the following afternoon. Ms. Bradshaw told the deputy she had been in a verbal dispute with the trio.
• A neighborhood youth is believed responsible
for shooting out two windows in a parked 1987
Chevrolet pickup on Shortputt Dr. in north Macclenny.
The vehicle belongs to John Brewer and the estimated $300 damage was done overnight on March
29.
Three in parked car had pot
A county deputy made three
arrests for misdemeanor possession of marijuana after coming
up on a parked vehicle blocking
one lane of CR 229 in Sanderson
early on April 1.
Deputy Matt Yarborough said
a 1995 Toyota driven by Tyler
Pittmen, 19, was in the southbound lane at Columbia St. when
he spotted it shortly after 4 am
while on routine patrol.
The vehicle’s interior smelled
of marijuana smoke and Mr. Pittman and passenger Austin Elrod, also 19, admitted to having a
hand-rolled cigarette.
Both have Macclenny ad-
dresses.
In the vehicle with them were
four females from Sanderson and
Glen St. Mary, ages 14 through
16. One of them, a 15-year-old
from Sanderson, had two partially smoked cigarettes in a
small purse found during a consent search.
She also was charged with
misdemeanor possession, and
the two males were also charged
with four counts of contributing
to the delinquency of minors.
Mr. Pittman was later charged
with a felony for concealing a
small baggie of pot on his person. It was found during a body
search as he was booked into
county jail.
In another marijuana arrest,
Maurice Towels, 29, of Tallahassee was charged after his speeding 2008 Nissan was stopped
on Interstate 10 the evening of
March 31.
Deputy Ben Anderson said he
clocked the westbound vehicle at
87 mph near Macclenny, and detected an odor of marijuana when
he approached it. Mr. Towel had
a small baggie stashed overhead.
He was also charged with
resisting being handcuffed.
A female companion was not
charged.
Arrests for suspended licenses
A Macclenny man was arrested the evening of
March 26 after he was stopped on US 90 in the east
city for having an expired license tag on his 2004
Honda.
Deputy Matt Yarbrough took Andrew Altom, 36,
into custody after learning his driver’s license had
six prior suspensions and that a condition of his current probation was that he not get behind the wheel.
The traffic stop took place shortly after 6 pm.
Less than one hour earlier, Deputy Chris Walker arrested Thomas Shirley, 30, of Jacksonville for
driving on a license with eight prior suspensions.
The officer said he first spotted Mr. Shirley in the
parking lot of Cuz’s One Stop in Sanderson about
5:30 and the driver was acting suspiciously.
The license tag on his 1994 Acura belonged on
another vehicle, and Deputy Walker stopped it as
Mr. Shirley entered Interstate 10 from CR 229 S.
Both drivers were also ticketed for having the
wrong tag.
Several other persons were arrested the past
week on outstanding warrants:
• Andre Hunter, 30, of Jacksonville at a Stansell
Ave. address in Macclenny April 2 on a Duval County warrant for failure to pay child support;
• Ezekial Register, 47, at his Thompson Rd. address near Glen St. Mary March 28 on an Indian
River County warrant for violating probation for
drunk driving;
• Melissa Diomedes, 37, on March 28 for grand
theft, Chasity Fleming, 22, of Orange Park for contempt of court in Clay County and Aaron Davis, 23,
of Sanderson for grand theft. All were already in
county jail.

other students. The contraband
was found in a tin container.
The case was referred to Teen

male from Sanderson was found
with a smoking pipe and a marijuana cigarette in a pair of pants

Baker County’s unemployment rate continued its downward slide in the new year last
month, dropping to 9.4 percent, according to
the latest statistics from Florida’s Department
of Economic Opportunity released March 30.
Baker County’s unemployment rate
dropped below 10 percent in January after
spiking in the final months of 2011. It reached
10.2 percent in November and then 10.4 percent in December.
The improvement in 2012 comes despite
layoffs at the Baker County Health Department and reported staffing reductions at the
Walmart Distribution Center. A call to the
distribution center’s general manager Bobby
Steele to confirm the cutbacks was not returned.
The largest employment growth in the
Jacksonville metropolitan area, which includes Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam
and St. Johns counties, during the 12 months
preceding February, 2012 came in retail trade,
which jumped 4.9 percent.
Other sectors up during the year-long period were trade, transportation and logistics;
which rose 2.4 percent, and professional and
business services, which increased 2.1 percent.
The sectors that saw biggest job losses during the same period in the metro area were
government as well as mining, logging and
construction.
Baker County started the year with a larger labor force, which increased by 82 people
from the previous month, and more workers
in the labor force with jobs, which rose by 173,
the January jobs report shows.
There were also fewer unemployed workers, which fell by 55.
The shifts meant local unemployment fell
in January to 9.9 percent, the lowest level in
more than a year and nearly 1 percent below
the rate in January, 2011.
The unemployment rate statewide has
been trending downward as well with January
joblessness in Florida falling from 9.7 percent
in December, 2011 to 9.5 percent last January.
The statewide unemployment figure fell 1.4
percent between February, 2011 and February, 2012.
All the statistics above represent unemployment data not adjusted for seasonal
changes in employment. They’re compiled by
the state and US Department of Labor.
Neither level of government tracks the
number of part-time or so-called “discouraged” workers, who don’t have jobs but are no
longer seeking them, at the local level.
Previous monthly unemployment data is
updated and revised as new, preliminary estimates are released each month. The state is
expected to release preliminary unemployment figures for March and revised figures for
February on April 20.

Board to mull incinerator project
From page 1
made following the second public
hearing at 6 p.m. on April 17.
“I think we have a lot to study
in the next two weeks before
this comes back to the commission,” said Commission Chairman Gordon Crews at the end of
this week’s hearing, which lasted more than two hours. “We’ll
make a decision then on whether
it’s best for Baker County or not.”
Dozens of residents packed the
commission room, including 14
who addressed the commission
and spoke against the project.
They expressed concerns primarily focused on the potential harm
to the environment and public
health risks.
“Who will hold them accountable to ensure they won’t poison our atmosphere?” said Allison Broughton, who recently
resigned her position on the
county’s Land Planning Agency
to campaign against the proposed
incinerator facility.
Joe Brazil of Glen St. Mary
said even the most well-designed
plants malfunction from time
to time. If one of the proposed
plant’s filter systems were to
break down, he said, “We could
have some really nasty stuff going
into the air.”
Officials from Integrated
Waste Management Systems
Inc., however, said the proposed
plant, called a “Bio-Medical Thermal Reduction Facility,” would
feature the most modern pollution control equipment that exists and would be the only plant
of its kind designed to meet new
federal environmental standards
imposed in 2009 which will go
into effect in 2014.
Existing medical waste incinerators will have to be retrofitted to meet the new standards, at
tremendous expense, or be shut
down, said Marvin J. Barry, a retired U.S. Air Force major general and president of Integrated
Waste Management Systems.
The company’s air emissions
permit engineer, Bill Straub, of
Kimberton, PA, said the facility
would release nine regulated pollutants that are already present
in the air today, including carbon
monoxide, dioxin, mercury and
lead.
He said the 2009 pollution
limits for medical waste incinerators are between 10 and 100
times lower, or more restrictive,
than current pollution limits established in the 1990s. He also
said emission limits for carbon
monoxide from vehicles range
from 5 to 15 parts per million
and the proposed facility would
be limited to carbon monoxide
emissions of no more than 11
parts per million.
“So we’re in the same range,”
Mr. Straub said.
“We wanted to build the absolutely best facility we could,” said
Mr. Barry, adding that it would be
a model facility that others in the
industry could visit to learn about
the newest technology.
The facility plans include
about 92,800 square feet of
building space, including a
50,000-square-foot structure
housing the incinerator and a
smoke stack of no more than 100
feet all, a 162-space parking lot
and storm water retention facilities.
If the project is approved, Mr.
Barry said, 59 employees would
be hired by the end of 2013 and
many will be Baker County residents. He said the minimum
starting wage will be $15 an hour,
or close to $20 an hour with benefits added.
At the end of his presentation
and before any residents were
given an opportunity to speak,
Mr. Barry urged everyone to
“keep an open mind” and get the
facts straight.
But it was obvious that the majority of people in attendance already had their minds made up.
They did not want the incinerator
in their county — no matter what
anyone had to say about the stateof-art technology that would go
into the design and construction
of the facility.
Richard M. Cooper, of Elvis
Starling Road, said he had done a
lot of Internet research into medical waste incinerators and had
found that “wherever there was
one of these plants there was a
high incidence of disease around
it.”
“Educate yourself on this
thing,” Mr. Cooper urged commissioners.
Commissioners promised to
do just that before they take a final vote on the project.
“I want to know and under-

stand more about what will be
coming out of the facility,” Commissioner Michael Crews said.
Commissioner Adam Giddens
said he, too, needed a lot more information. He also recommended
the county select an engineer to
conduct an independent analysis
of the proposed plant and any potential health risks.
A 25-page development agreement spells out the details of the
proposed development. It functions as a contract between Integrated Waste Systems Inc., the
county and the county’s development commission, which has a
contract to sell the 24-acre site to
the company.

WOMAN’S CLUB
Thirty-two models ranging in
age from babes in arms to grandmothers graced the runway for
the Annual Macclenny Woman’s
Club Fashion Show the morning
of March 24.
This year’s theme, “Getting to
Know You,” was shown in three
acts.
During Act I, “Getting to
Know You,” which featured
models from local merchants
like Classy Crossroads Boutique,
Dixie Outfitters, Goodie 2 Shoes
and Sports Shak, promoted
shopping at home for Americanmade products.
The models from Sports Shak
surprised the audience with a
cheer for their favorite sports
teams.
The second act, “Getting to
Know All About Us,” featured
models from the health department’s dental clinic, CVS Minute
Clinic, Dr. John Coleman’s office, Macclenny Pharmacy, Aurora Diagnostic Center, the high
school’s health academy, the
school district’s health services
department and Dopson Family
Medical Center wearing apparel
from Goody’s.
Act II of the show also highlighted the club’s home life department and its support of
women’s health. A special presentation honored Marilyn Raulerson, who works at Dopson
Family Medical Center.
Mrs. Raulerson has devoted
40 years of her life to improving the quality of medical care in
Baker County.
Act III, “Hoping That You’ll
Like Me,” introduced the audience to various activities and
programs by the Woman’s Club
in the community.
An African chieftain spoke
about the work supporting Operation Smile. Missy Mannequin,
the club’s mascot, modeled for
conservation, wearing a jacket
made from used blue jean fabric, a handbag made from plastic shopping bags and a stunning
sun hat made from paper grocery
bags.
The arts were showcased with
a clarinet solo by Joseph Thomas
and a lively rendition of “Charlie
Brown” by Jillian Hodges, the
reigning National Miss USA Teen
Forestry Queen.
Kalie Carter, Blane Fraser,
Rebekah McNeil and Sydney
Raulerson, students of Sara Beth
Gerard, sang “Getting to Know
You.”

Dustin Barton is serving probation for
driving while intoxicated late last year and
he’s been ordered by the court to perform 50
hours of community service.
The father of three said he has 30
hours left to fulfill the obligation, which
he’s been doing through the “Giving Back
to Baker” program organized by Baker
Community Counseling Services, a courtaffiliated nonprofit drug counseling and
testing provider in Macclenny.
Mr. Barton, 26, of Macclenny, has
been washing dishes, sweeping floors and
serving food at the Council on Aging recently and will move onto other sites in
the coming weeks, like the Ag Center or
the county’s Emergency Operations Center.
“Everybody here is really easy to get
along with, so it’s been a good place to
work,” said Mr. Barton the morning of
April 3 after washing a pot in the kitchen
of the Council on Aging’s downtown senior center.
The hardest part, he said, is getting to the site because he lacks a
vehicle and borrows his brother’s
truck for transportation.
Mr. Barton is one of about 30
community service volunteers in
the Giving Back to Baker program,
which began last year.
Offenders found guilty in court
for second and third degree misdemeanors and ordered to probation
or house arrest are eligible for the
program, explained Chris Thomas,
executive director of Baker Community Counseling Services.
Those without jobs are typically required to
serve 30 hours of community service a week
and others with jobs are given more flexibility to complete the volunteer service by doing
fewer hours a week for longer periods of time.
Offenders with disabilities or injuries are
given administrative work, though Mr. Thom-

nonprofit groups involved in the program,”
Mr. Thomas said.
He encouraged agencies to contact either City Manager Gerald Dopson or County
Manager C.J. Thompson for litter clean-up
requests. He said the officials would then
contact the program’s coordinator, Pastor Steven Jones of Emmanuel Baptist
Church in Macclenny.
“The only problem we’re having is getting people enough jobs to do,” said Mr.
Thomas.
He and Pastor Jones said this week
they want the community to know there’s
ample manpower to help local organizations, save them money and give offenders an opportunity to demonstrate their
honesty and self worth to the community.
“It’s all about giving back to the community,” said Pastor Jones, pointing to

Boat, couch and pot netted in
annual St. Mary’s River Cleanup
More than 600 volunteers from Baker and Nassau counties in Florida and Charlton and Camden counties in Georgia removed an estimated 30,000 pounds of trash and refuse from sites along the St. Mary’s River, which borders all four counties, the morning of March 17. Nine volunteers headed to the boat ramp on Steel Bridge Road, commonly known as the
boy scout camp, to participate in the multi-county cleanup. Greg Sheppard, the local cleanup coordinator, said the group
recovered more than 700 pounds of litter, including a burned out 18-foot boat, sofa, mattress, pot and other garbage. “It
was pulled way back into the woods,” Mr. Sheppard said of the boat. Georgia police were notified about the marijuana,
he said. The volunteers traced a roughly one-mile loop during the cleanup —
heading west along the shoreline from the
boat ramp, then south to Steel Bridge Road before heading back to the boat ramp. “The drink of choice appeared to be
Bud Light,” joked Mr. Sheppard.

Heartfelt thanks
The family of Bud Davis would
like to give thanks to God for allowing us to have a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who we all
looked up to.
Anyone who knew him was
aware that Bud was a God-fearing, hard-working man who had
a caring and gentle heart. He
helped anyone who needed it,
and would give his shirt off his
back if you needed it.
He raised his children and
more with a firm hand and a gentle heart. He showed them how to
live off the land and not be scared
of hard work.
He’ll not just be missed
around the creek — sitting on
his porch visiting with family
and friends; on his tractor in the
field or at the shop supervising a
job being done by his sons and
grandsons. He’ll be missed everywhere he went.
He will be missed by his
church, the lodge, by millwright
workers he worked with many
years, at Billy Williams’ store,
in the Reforest where he hunted
and fished, and many more places that we can not begin to list.
He left his footprints everywhere he went in this county, in
the state and other states he visited, and where he went he knew
someone that he had a laugh or
two with before he left them.
Thanks for the many prayers,
calls, food, visits and the beautiful flowers that we couldn’t begin
to list.
To say “thank you” seems to
be so small but those two words
never meant so much to us. He
was a very loved man and all this
has showed us just how much he
was respected and loved.
A special thanks to everyone who helped at the cemetery
getting things ready there; our
church family for the prayers
and support; the Baker County
School Board and their cafeteria departments; Bro. Randall
Griffis, Bro. Tim Alford and Bro.
Eddy Sanders; Diane Craig with
her help with the picture CD;the
ladies who helped us with the
food; Baker County Sheriff’s Office and Guerry Funeral Home
for their services.
He was a Baker County icon
who is going to be greatly missed
by his family and those who knew
him. Thanks to all the wonderful
people in Baker County.
Wife Shirley Davis,
Children Rita Davis,
Richard and Sharon Davis,
Buddy and Carolyn Davis,
Jerry and Cheryl Davis,
Eddy and Cindy Sanders,
Scott and Lori Davis
and grandchildren
Heartfelt thanks
The family of the late Mr.
Johnell Shivalier Sr expresses
its sincere thanks for all your
prayers, visits and encouragement given to us during the passing of our loved one.
We have been blessed to have
wonderful family and friends
who have shared our burdens
during this time of bereavement.
We thank you for all acts of kindness. May God continue to bless
each of you.

It’s hard to believe it’s been
five years, but we know that
you’re in Heaven and there for
us you’ll wait.
One sweet day we will meet
you, smiling at the gate. Until
that day comes we still are not

Mama and Nana, you are always in our hearts.

It has been two years since
we’ve seen your smiling face,
but God has kept us and showered us with His mercy and
grace.
Since you’ve been gone it’s
been really tough, but God called
you home and said that 55 years
on earth was long enough.
We miss you Papa, but there
is nothing we can do. So hopefully we will be together again

1/1/1933 - 3/25/2011
It’s been a year since you left
us, but your name still lives on
through us. You’ll forever be in
our hearts. We’ll never forget
your smile or the sweet and gentle things that you did.
You taught us to love one another and to be kind to others.
You gave us your sweetest love
until God called you home up
above.
You were our angel for so
many years; now all we can
do is shed tears. Tears of you
because now you have no more
pain or suffering. God called
you home to take it all away.
Now you’re one of God’s angels smiling down on us and
watching us day by day, and all
we can say now is that we all
truly miss and love you but we
shall meet again up in Heaven
on that beautiful day.
For none of us lives to himself
and none of us dies to himself.
For if we live, we live to the Lord
and if we die, we die to the Lord.
So then, whether we live
or whether we die, we are the
Lord’s. For to this end Christ
died and lived again that He
might be Lord both of the dead
and of the living.

The Wildcat baseball team snatched a pair of wins the past week, defeating Suwannee County and getting a big district decision over Paxon.
The Cats hosted the Bulldogs on March 27 and the Dogs gave them
all they could handle. BCHS scratched out a 7-5 victory over Suwannee
in their first meeting of the season. Chris Waddell picked up the win on
the mound. Hunter Hanks added a pair of hits and Ethan Wilkerson
added a 2-run single.
The Cats had a much easier time on March 30 when they hosted district foe Paxon, defeating the Golden Eagles 13-3. Jacob Milton picked
up the win on the mound and is now 4-0. Offensively, Hunter Bell,
Ethan Wilkerson, John Lambright and Austin Rowe added two hits
apiece to lead the offense.
The win secured the number two seed for the Wildcats in the district
tournament behind Bishop Kenny. They are 3-1 in the district with the
only loss a 2-1 heartbreaker to the Crusaders.

Lady Cats rebound
after rout at Oakleaf
BOB GERARD | SPORTS
It was an up and down week
for the Lady Wildcat softball
team heading into the Easter
break. They had one of their
worst losses of the season, a 0-10
shutout at the hands of Oakleaf,
but came back to defeat Bishop
Kenny and Baldwin.
The Lady Widlcats couldn’t
get much going when they traveled to Oakleaf on March 28. The
Lady Knights allowed BCHS just
one hit, a single by Taylor Crummey, while scattering 14 of their
own.
• The Cats bounced back on
March 29 with a key 5-4 win over
district foe Bishop Kenny. The
win kept the girls undefeated in
the district with no remaining
district games and their 8-0 record is sure to give them the top
seed when they host the tournament April 17-19.
Kylie Holton got the first run
for BCHS. She doubled in the
second inning and a sacrifice
from Brooke Roberts brought
her home.
The Cats went up 3-0 with
Tayler McCann and Shelby Gatto
crossing home plate in the third
inning.
Bishop Kenny pulled one
back before Crummey and Gatto
scored in the sixth and seventh
inning. Kenny kept it interesting
up to the end, rallying for three
runs in the seventh. But the defense stiffened and the Crusaders
left three base runners stranded.
Crummey was 3 for 3 and Haley Crews and Holton went 3 for
4. Gatto and Crews were on the
mound for BCHS.
• The girls wrapped up the
week with an 11-3 home win over
Baldwin on March 30. Tayler
McCann went 4 for 4 with 2 runs
scored to lead the Cats. Holton,
Crummey, Clara Harvey and
Mackenzie Wingard all scored
a pair of runs. Tina Hauge also
scored. McCann and Harvey had
2 RBIs. Crews struck out 9 in the
win.
The girls won’t play again until April 10 when they travel to
West Nassau.

Rides to Junior nationals
Ty Sikes, 15, of Macclenny won the Florida Junior High division state title in bull
riding over the weekend in Okeechobee, FL and qualified to ride in the national
finals in Gallup, New Mexico in June. The son of Stacy Hott of Glen St. Mary and
Shaun Sikes of Macclenny, Ty finished third in the state in points. The 8th grader
at Baker County Middle School has been bull riding three years, and follows in
the footsteps of his father, who competed while in high school here. Ty was also

You can fish without a license — legally — this
coming Saturday, April 7.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) scheduled the first of four licensefree recreational fishing days on this Easter holiday
weekend so more people will have the chance to get
out and try their luck.
Plus, this weekend coincides with a productive
freshwater fishing period, when the weather is usually pleasant. Many of Florida’s recreational sport
fishes, such as black bass, bluegill and redear sunfish, move into the shallows to spawn during spring,
making them more available for anglers to catch.
