Clay County

I attend the New Grace Church on Fleming Island.  I was brought up Catholic, attended Catholic schools, and started attending Episcopal churches as an adult.  We have been attending Anglican churches for the last 8 years, and our family has been very blessed to grow in Christ's love.

Today, our Rev Jon Schuler spoke of politics, something he has never done here before.  He has been very careful never to appear to endorse any candidate, including the two that attend that church.  I truly admire him for that, as I have absolutely no idea what individuals or parties he endorses.

A Clay County man died Monday morning after being pulled from a fire at his house about 4 a.m.
Firefighters called to the Dothan Road residence pulled the man from his bedroom and began CPR but were unable to save him, according to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

The man has not yet been identified. There was no one else in the house, authorities said.

A newspaper carrier called for help after seeing the house on fire. When deputies arrived, flames were coming from the roof and one end of the ranch-style house.

Finally the video has been posted, thank you My Clay Sun.

I could not help but notice Mr. Robinson is AWOL again.  It seems to me that if you truly want a job such as county commissioner then you should make every possible public appearance that is available.  First he failed to debate Mr. Rutledge and myself and now it appears that he has failed to show up on the video.   I have to believe he thinks he can win this race without having any platform, without making any commitments, without placing himself in front of the real voters. Apparently he believes he can win based on just having more signs than any other candidate.   

All-

We are almost finished with our round of Clay County candidate video interviews, and many of them are now available on MyClaySun.com/video

In case you can't find a particular candidate there, all videos are also on Jacksonville.Activote.com 

For a bit of background, we invited all candidates who are running opposed in the primary elections on Aug. 26th to the Times-Union for video interviews. We (well, I) asked each candidate three questions - all candidates in the same race received the same questions and there were no time limits for their responses.

All-

In addition to the sheriff candidate's live blog interview on MCS.com, we have invited all of the clay couny candidates in for video interviews at the Times-Union building.

*note - we invited only those up for the Aug. 26 primary elections, so candidates who automatically advance to the Nov. 4 general elections were not included in this round of video interviews* 

We will be asking each candidate 3 questions at these video interviews and we want your input. Here are the race and candidates we have asked in. If you have any questions for these candidates just reply with a comment and make sure to specify which candidate or race.

I just picked up a flyer today at a store and I see the address is 3860 Doctors Lake.   I just wanted new to share that since I had not seen the location posted on the blogs.

I will now go back to lurking

A gun-wielding robber who threatened to shoot a Jacksonville store clerk and fired at police during a chase Monday has been charged with eight felonies and is being held in jail without bail.

The pursuit started after police were called to a Dollar General Store robbery about 9:30 a.m. on the 6300 block of 103rd Street. A woman who worked at the store said a man who identified himself as a secret shopper lured her to the back of the store and demanded to get in the office.

She told police the man pulled a gun from his waistband and threatened to shoot her. The woman said she tried to close the door and hit her head when she jumped down some stairs.

Where is the little blonde reporter from Folio now?????  If she is soooo interested in Clay County Politics.

Somebody's got some 'splaining to do...

From News4Jax.com...ironic how there is no mention of this on MCS

GREEN COVE SPRINGS, Fla. -- Clay County Clerk of Court James Jett is defending his use of a county-provided SUV to drive to his St. Augustine Beach condominium, to church on Sunday and to a political rally.

"It may not have been smart, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with it," Jett told Channel 4's Jim Piggott on Wednesday.
