OUR OPINION Learn from Baker’s strong economic development work

he fact that Baker County is on the cusp of land- ing two major job-creating industries and several Thundred career-track jobs can only be looked at for what it is: a learning experience for Lake City and Columbia County officials. We re-ran the story with permission from a neighbor- ing newspaper, the Baker County Press, to show what is possible when cooperation and a focused effort exists. Economic development success on a big scale is possi- ble. Congratulate our neighbors to the east and examine all the details of how they got to the point of sharing most of the details of two industries at the negotiating table ready to invest a total of $115 million into Baker County and create 200 jobs for employees upon operation at one industry and 150 at the other within five years of opera- tion. How did much smaller and much more rural Baker County pull this off? They have Interstate 10 dissecting the county, but they only have one interstate highway. We have two. We both have railroad access. We have a much better airport facility. How could it be? Baker County had a plan and was ready. They had infrastructure and property and were ready with tax incentives and knew how to sell it to a prospective client. There’s no reason to be jealous over Baker County’s success. Columbia County was never in the running for Why was it changed? either of these projects. We should have been, but were not. One company is international, based in Greece, and specializes in frozen foods and plans to build a huge Alligator Town to Lake City sub-zero warehouse.

NORTH FLORIDA OUTDOOR CONNECTION Keep it safe, simple and — most of all — locked up

ecent data shows an extraordinary number of R firearm sales in the U.S. over the past year. In 2020, it was reported 39.7 million firearms were sold. This was a 40-percent increase from the 15.8 million sold in 2019. Of the 39.7 million, at least 8 million sales were to first-time gun own- ers. Record sales are continuing in 2021. That is a lot of new firearms and a lot of new gun owners. The number one reason for purchasing a firearm is protec- tion. People want to be able to defend themselves and their families. With possession of a firearm comes a responsibility to keep it secure. Data from the Gun Violence Archive showed 43,413 gun deaths occurred in 2020. This number included shootings involved with crime, self-defense acts and deaths from accidental dis- charge of a firearm. Looking closer at the data found the number of accidental shootings resulting in death was upwards of 600. Although the percentage of gun deaths from accidental shooting is small, it can be prevented. Additional informa- tion found males are 10 times more likely to be involved in an accidental shooting than females. Also, about 25% of vic- tims were under the age of 24.

EXPLAINER Inside NBA’s All-Star voting

By Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

NBA players are apparently not easily impressed — even by other NBA players. LeBron James and Kevin Durant were the only two players to appear on more than 50% of the ballots cast by their playing peers in All-Star Game starter balloting this season, based on a review of the numbers released by the league. James appeared on 56% of the ballots, Durant on 55%. They wound up as the leading votegetters from fans as well for this year’s game, which is set for March 7in Atlanta. As the fan-vote leaders, James and Durant were picked to serve as the playing captains in the game and draft teams that will be unveiled March 4.
