JOHN LLOYD (HUPPHOTO@MAC.COM) FOR THE NEWS-LEADER Again: 'fresh water on Greenway ANGELA DAUGHTRY ment district "to get them moving News Leader on it." Local residents packed City Hall Tuesday night, mostly to sup- port a resolution urging freshwater restoration of Egans Creek Greenway. And city commissioners were convinced they should expe- dite the process of converting it back to fresh water. The commission voted 5-0 to urge the St. Johns River Water Management District to expedite restoration of the wetlands south of Jasmine Street where trees are dying, possibly from saltwater intrusion. Commissioner Ron Sapp com- mended residents for "taking own- ership" of the issue, saying, "I knew we needed a citizenry to move the Greenway forward." The wetlands south of Jasmine Street, part of Egans Creek Greenway, were altered in 2003 by In addition to the blight this has caused... there is a real danger to our community ifthese trees catch fire, are blown around in a hurricane or the like.' PAUL CONDIT, SEA GROVE NEIGHBORHOOD, TO SJRWMD a mismanaged Florida Department of Transportation mitigation proj- ect that allowed salt water to infil- trate the freshwater habitat. More than 50 acres of maple trees and other flora have died as a possible result of the infiltration. FDOT admitted culpability and agreed to restore the area either to fresh or saltwater. Citizens at pub- lic hearings previously told the city commission they prefer restora- tion to a freshwater habitat. But restoration of the freshwa- ter wetlands has been delayed by local resident Clinch Kavanaugh, who filed a petition last fall block- ing FDOT from getting a permit for the water management district to stop the saltwater intrusion. Residents who attended the Tuesday meeting, many of them owners of property adjacent to the creek, were adamant about the city taking more aggressive action to fix the Greenway. Resident Paul Condit said the Sea Groves and Ocean Oaks sub- divisions were the "most affected by what's happening in the Greenway." He urged those pres- ent to write to the water manage- Some residents, such as Tom Cote-Merow, wanted the sea gates closed immediately that is allowing salt water into the area. "Why can't we close (the gates) and stop the destruction?" asked Cote-Merow. "We've waited too long ... the government is out of control, without regard for the tax- payers of Fernandina Beach." Jim Knight, a spokesmen for FDOTwho attended the meeting, said the department had to be care- ful of large fish kills and other "very severe adverse conse- quences" if the gates were closed. He also noted that the department had to remain compliant with cur- rent permits. Resident Phil Scanlan said the city should "stop the leak first, then study the problem."

JENKINS News Leader The state Board of Education has approved revised science Sunshine State Standards to incor- porate the theory, if not the fact, of evolution into the school curricu- lum. In a 4-3 vote Tuesday the board approved insertion of the terms "scientific theory" and "law of' evo- lution in "all appropriate areas throughout the document," the Florida Department of Education said. Board members Donna Callaway, Akshay Desai and Robert Martinez voted against the meas- ure, objecting to the addition of the terms "scientific theory" and "law of' to the revised standards. Board members Phoebe Raulerson, Kathleen Shanahan and Linda Taylor voted to approve the revised standards with the added terminology. Board Chairman Talmadge W. Fair cast the deciding vote to break the tie. The revised standards drew debate after several North Florida school districts, including Nassau County's, passed resolutions oppos- ing the revised standard's presen- tation of evolution as fact. Nassau Schools Superintendent John Ruis said the vote leaves ques- tions about how the modification to the standards will affect science instruction. "I'm not really sure what exact- ly that means now as far as practice - and instruction," he said, explaining that the "impact on the delivery of instruction and on what will be pre- sented instructionally is not clear." Ruis declined to say if the board's actions satisfied him. "I would like more time to see what (the decision) really means with regard to instruction." A committee that included edu- cators, scientists, business leaders and school administrators began developing the standards in May following a drafting and review process. The DOE convened five public hearings throughout the state in addition to reviewing 20,000 com- ments received via the Internet. During the Tuesday hearing opin- ions of the 20 members of the pub- lic who addressed the board were split equally in favor of and opposed to the revised standards as pre- sented to the board. School districts will align their science curriculum to the revised standards beginning in the 2008-9 school year. The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test will test students on the material in 2012. gfenkins@fbnewsleadercom INDEX CLASSIFIEDS .......... .......... 6B COMMUNITY ........................ 8A CROSSWORD/SUDOKU.....5B EDITORIAL ........................7A..........

Kevyn Ml1on, an exchange stu- dent from Belgium, has become particularly comfortable with one. "It was cool," he likes to say when asked his opinion about things. But more than refining his abil- ity to speak and understand English, being an exchange stu- dent to the U.S. has fostered his independence and self-sufficiency, he said. "It's pretty frightening to leave your family for a whole year..... You don't have a mother or father. You are alone," Kevyn said. "You learn to live with that and it's alright." The U.S. "is pretty different from my country," he said. Here, "everything is big." The downtown of a big city is "pretty compact in Europe ... .You can drive every- where." Another difference, particular to being in Florida, is the weather. Christmas day, "I was on the beach" rather than in snow, he said. Part of becoming acclimated has meant interpreting the Southern drawl and translating slang used by students. As a native French speaker, his accent has proved dif- ficult for some to understand. "Now I have a little bit American accent," he said.

Women's study Waist size matters For the News Leader NEW ORLEANS - Middle- aged women's waists aren't the only thing that increased in the last decade. So did their chance of stroke. In a new study report- ed at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2008, rising obesity rates have been linked to more strokes among women ages 35 to 54. A previous analysis of stroke prevalence rates in the United States from 1999 to 2004 revealed that women in their midlife years were more than twice as likely as men of similar age to report hav- ing had a stroke, said Amytis Towfighi, M.D., an assistant pro- fessor in the Neurology Department at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, Calif. To determine if this was a new phenomenon and to explore the potential contributions of vascular risk factors to stroke prevalence rates, researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Surveys 1988-94 (NHANES III) and 1999-4. They found that while 1.79 percent of women ages 35 to 54 who partici- pated reported having stroke, only 0.63 percent of women the same ages who partici- pated in the e e , h earlier sur- vey reported stroke. The analysis compared medical history vari- ables (including smoking, dia- betes mellitus, heart attack, high blood pressure), medication usage, and clinical markers. Those included waist circumfer- ence, body mass index, total cho- lesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL- also known as bad cholesterol), and blood pres- sure. "We did not find significant dif- ferences in presence of conven- tional cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure, total cho- lesterol, LDL, smoking, heart dis- ease, high blood pressure or dia- betes, when we compared the two groups," said Towfighi, lead author of the study. Instead, women in the more recent survey were more likely to be using medications to control blood pressure and cholesterol. In fact, 14.8 percent reported using medications to lower blood pressure, compared to 8.9 per- cent in the earlier survey. "Women in NHANES 1999-4 were significantly more obese than women a decade prior, with an average BMI of 28.67 kg/m2 versus 27.11 kg/m2 the decade prior," Towfighi said. BMI of 25.0 to 30.0 is considered overweight, while BMI of 30.1 or more is con- sidered obese. "In addition, women in NHANES 1999-4 had an average waist circumference of nearly 4 centimeters more than women in the earlier study," Towfighi said. Women in the later study also had higher average glycated hemoglobin (an indicator of poor blood sugar control). The researchers concluded that although key traditional risk factors, such as high blood pres- sure, may not be higher today than in the '90s, obesity and blood sugar markers are on the increase. "Abdominal obesity is a known predictor of stroke in women and may be a key factor in the midlife stroke surge in women," Towfighi said. 'This study highlights the need to intensify efforts in curbing the obesity epidemic in the United States."

Sponsoring inbound and out- bound exchange students helps them become more culturally diverse and, as more students "actu- ally get to know America... I think it promotes world peace," Towles said, one of the club's objectives. Kevyn has lived with two local host families since his arrival in August. Doug and Jody Mackle hosted the exchange student for three months after he arrived in Fernandina. He will live with the Cottles of Amelia Island until he departs in June. Deb Cottle has been in Rotary about 10 years. "I just thought that would be a good experience," she said about having her family host an exchange student. Now, "We're going to learn French." Kevyn recommends becoming an exchange student. The benefits have been a "new language, new friends, new life," Kevyn said. When he returns home he will study pharmacy. Then Kevyn wants to come back to the U.S. to work. "I love here," he said. gienkins@fbnewsleader.com I Strts Satrdy Pick A Number!

The designation would prevent the basin from being developed because it cannot be "traded" through mitigation for wetlands in another part of the district. City Attorney Tammi Bach noted that, with the new designa- tion, Egans Creek would be its own mitigation basin, and "not looked at as a regional basin." "There will be no cross mitiga- tion if it's a stand-alone basin," she said. The part of the Greenway between Atlantic Avenue and Jasmine Street was restored in 2003 from a freshwater wetlands to a saltwater wetlands as part of a mitigation project for highway con- struction in Duval County. The city is also considering pur- chase of a 2.76-acre parcel on r -------- tem. Leon Perpall, owner of the parcel, has been in the process of developing the land for a hotel site. Perpall has already received permits from the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers, and is going before the city Board of Adjustment in March for a vari- ance hearing to fill in the wetlands. Perpall has expressed interest in selling the property to the city, but is asking more than $560,000 to cover costs he has spent develop- ing the land. Bach said that the city has had e at (Perpall) wants for the property." But, she said, "Perpall is not going to accept any less than he has spent on the property." Bach also explained that if the Board of Adjustment denies Perpall's claim for a variance, the city could "force a negotiation between the city and the property owner." Perpall also could take the city to court to reverse the Board of Adjustment's action. Perpall was not at the meeting, and no action was taken by city commissioners. adaughtry@fbnewsleadercom SHELTER S ANIMALS NEED / HOMES TOO... Adopt a Companion Today!

Slay has announced his candidacy for sheriff of Nassau County in the upcoming 2008 election. Three other Republicans have filed to seek election as sheriff. They include incumbent Sheriff Tommy Seagraves, C.W. (Connie) Johnson, retired Nassau County Sheriff's captain, and Richard King, former director of the Nassau County Jail. Fernandina Beach Police Capt. Jim Coe, a Democrat, also has filed to seek the office. "I have spent a great deal of time talking with the residents of Nassau County and have gained an immense understanding of the issues that concern them regard- ing the current state of our local law enforcement program," Slay said in a campaign announce- ment. "I am convinced that positive change is needed, and that I am the person that can bring that change to realization," he said. Slay said he seeks to bridge the gap between residents and law enforcement personnel in an effort to share informa- tion and reduce local crime rates. He also intends to build a cooperative partnership with other county officials to develop a comprehensive four-year plan that will "effectively and effi- ciently manage budget needs, eliminate irresponsible earmark spending and establish a sound contingency plan for emer- gency pre- paredness." "It takes a l .oc cooperative - effort by every- one involved to bring about positive Slay change," Slay said. 'Together, you and I can make Nassau County the top law enforcement agency in the state." He is a lifelong resident of Duval and Nassau counties and a local business owner. Slay offers more than 15 years experience in strategic planning and busi- ness management and believes his experience has helped him to develop skills needed to suc- cessfully analyze an organization's critical business requirements, identify deficiencies and poten- tial opportunities and develop innovative and cost-effective solu- tions. Slay is an active member of Wayside Assembly of God Church and has served as a dea- con and a board member. He has been married for 10 years to his wife, Hope, and together they have two daughters. For more information on Slay's campaign platform, visit www.slayforsheriff.com. The Republican primary election is scheduled for August, with the general election in November.

Mallory of Fernandina Beach has announced he is a can- didate for the Ocean, Highway and Port Authority District 1 seat. He is one of two announced can- didates for the seat now held by Danny Leeper, who is not seeking reelection. Businessman Melvin Usery, a Republican, has also filed to seek election to the seat, which represents Fernandina Beach on the Port Authority. Mallory, who is unaffiliated with any political party, said he has ever sought an elected office. "I want to be elected to the Ocean, Highway and Port Authority because I care about the health and vitality of our commu- nity," he said in a campaign announcement. "I believe the Port of Fernandina Beach has histori- cally been and will continue to be a vital part of the local and regional economy. The port's activities serve public purposes of benefit to the citizens of Nassau County and the state of Florida. It is important the port's activities be planned, man- aged and implemented wisely in accordance with its goals and objec- tives. "I believe my background in city and county plan- ning and admin- istration as well as my related business experi- ence are suited to the demands and knowledge required of an Ocean, Highway Mallory and Port Authority com- missioner." Born and raised in Atlanta, Mallory holds a B.A in Urban Studies (1981) from Hobart College in Geneva, N.Y. He also earned a master of city planning degree (1984) from The Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, otherwise known as Georgia Tech. From 1985 until 1987 he was director of planning, Zoning and inspections for the city of Lawrenceville, Ga. Between 1987 and 1989 he worked as a planning consultant with the firm of Precision Planning Inc. From 1989 until 1997 he was county planner and later promoted to county administrator for Oconee County, located just outside Athens, Ga. From 1997 to 1999 he worked in commercial real estate with the Coldwell Banker office in Athens. Mallory said his work in Georgia included numerous capital improvement projects related to economic development and the community's quality of life. In addi- tion, he represented the local gov- ernment with membership on the regional water authority and region- al transportation planning organi- zations. Mallory qualified as a mem- ber of the American Institute of Certified Planners, (AICP, 1990). He received an award as "County Administrator of the Year" in 1991 from the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Commission. After moving with his wife, Lisa, and three children to Amelia Island in 1999, Mallory worked as a real estate agent with the local Coldwell Banker office. He started his own company, Castilian Properties Inc., in January 2002, and it is still active. He served on the city of Fernandina Beach Environmental Advisory Board between 2001 and 2004. He currently manages the Amelia Island branch office of Florida Yacht Charters & Sales Inc., which opened in late 2005. The Miami-based company has four Florida offices and is a new boat dealer in addition to selling previ- ously owned boats and managing boats available for charter. Mallory holds licenses by the state of Florida as a Licensed Real Estate Broker and also is licensed as a Yacht and Ship Salesperson, commonly referred to as a Licensed Yacht Broker. He also holds a license issued by the U.S. Coast Guard as a U.S. Merchant Marine Officer. In his capacities as a captain he is an operator of unin- spected passenger vessels carry- ing up to six passengers for hire, otherwise known as a charter boat. Mallory is a member of St. Peter's Episcopal Parish; the Amelia Island- Fernandina Beach- Yulee Chamber of Commerce; Amelia Island-Nassau County Board of Realtors; Sierra Club; International Game Fish Association; National Association of Charter Boat Operators and the Florida Yacht Brokers Association. There are five port commis- sioners. Three seats are to be decid- ed this year in the Nov. 4 general election.

Three Fernandina residents, Mary Martin and Alicia and Peter Johnson, will share their stories about volunteering in this year's historic presidential campaign. Martin went to Iowa and South Carolina to volunteer for Hillary Clinton. ESCAPE Continued from 1A travel to the jail on charges of pos- session of cocaine and marijuana. Once Davis took off, Graves chased after him but did not fire his weapon - a decision Seagraves said he supports. "(Davis) wasn't a threat or harm or danger at the time of the escape," Seagraves said. "... (Graves) was upset that it caused me any embarrassment, but it was- n't him, he was doing his job, the inmate was the one who did it." Seagraves said given the fact that Davis had been arrested for a drug offense, not a violent crime, he felt one deputy was enough to guard Davis while he was in the hospital and to transport him after his release.

"If he was in jail for murder, we would have had more officers ... we take (inmates) to the hospital every day, prisoners are transported to doctor appoint- ments, or to court." Davis was initially arrested Feb. 21, following a traffic stop of a vehi- cle, on a Duval County warrant and for possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine and posses- sion of cocaine with intent to dis- tribute after bags of drugs were allegedly found in his seat in the car. He was taken to the hospital immediately after the arrest because police suspected he'd ingested some of the cocaine.

The man refused, so Davis fled to an apartment in Peppertree Village on Lime Street, where the occupant found him hiding in a closet. He'd entered the home through an unlocked door, said Seagraves. According to the resident of the apartment, a 33-year-old man, Davis told him not to call the police and changed out of his jail-issued jumpsuit and into clothes belong- ing to the victim. He used the man's phone to call for a ride, according to police, and was later found near CR 107 in the trunk of a vehicle. Seagraves said Davis spoke to him almost immediately after he was found.

He was crying, very upset and cry- ing, and he said, 'I'm not a bad guy.' "I told him, 'I know you, and I'm not scared of you, but the pub- lic doesn't know you, and you put the public in fear,'" Seagraves added. "He said he understood, and he was apologetic." Davis, currently in custody at the Nassau County Jail, faces sev- eral charges on top of the drug charges from his original arrest, including battery on a law enforce- ment officer, escape, carjacking, burglary, false imprisonment, lar- ceny and violating probation for convictions of felony battery and possession of a controlled sub- stance with intent to distribute. smalcom @fbnewsleader com Benefiting vidims of domestic violence and their children COMING IN MARCH 2008 At Eight Flags Shopping Center, 14th Street, Fernandina Beach, FL WE NEED YOUR * gently used household and decorative items * time and talent as a volunteer t2' Pcle lIasemcall Micahslc 9047ZE49i636ext.

More than 60 people participated in a public forum Tuesday evening at Hilliard Middle-Senior High School, giving their input on matters county planners should consider when designing the future outlay for the West Side. The forum was the second of eight public meetings being held this spring as part of a Nassau County visioning project. "County commissioners have put together a team to help develop a 'Nassau County Vision 2032' plan, what Nassau County will look like in 25 years," said Dennis Yecke of MGT of America, Inc., a Tallahassee consultant firm. That team has met on numerous occa- sions throughout the fall, but a meeting Monday night in Yulee was the first in which the public had a chance to give input. During the second meeting, held Tuesday, resi- dents applied "blue dot" adhesive labels to comment sheets posted at 11 tables. Participants selected three issues and responded in writing about their thoughts on various topics such as education and schools, pub- lic safety, social services and growth management. Residents also listed what they liked, what they did not like and what they would change in Hilliard. Written responses under the education and schools heading suggested that planners "modernize schools," provide "more books" and "separate the middle school from the high school," among others. Some respondents also verbalized their vision for the future. "I would like to see, as I wrote on my comment, the class sizes decrease, the teachers paid better," said Sherrie Hansen, a Hilliard resident and mother of two, who said the forum was necessary to get input. "I have spoken with a number of teachers and what I hear in comments is that they are just not paid enough to be Modernize schools"... 'separate the middle school from the high school.' babysitters. Classes are too big. They need to be paid better." Other issues residents were concerned about had to do with road conditions and the lack of gas stations. Another written comment from an unidentified "Evergreen/Sandhill resident from CR 108" read, "We have no gas stations ... bad for people who live in this 10-mile stretch." A list highlighting public safety concerns included "too many trains stopping or slowing (fire) rescue." Another comment on the same list requested "more manpower." Most participants have no desire to see their rural life altered to a large degree, but would like some conveniences without the urban sprawl, as it is in Yulee. "They let it happen. The county commission responded to the developers and to their needs," said Eddie Libby. His wife, Barbara Libby, expressed her concerns too. "I like the peace and quiet. I do not like the roads that I have to travel on to get where I need to go. I don't believe we get the quality of roads that they get on the East Side," she said. She added that all county offices should be in a central location, as it is in St. Johns County. A former Fernandina Beach resident wants devel- opers to respect the environment in their plans. "Well, one of the things I'd like to see is to maintain the rural nature of West Nassau County," said Ray Weinaug, who owns property west of Hilliard. "Don't get it concentrated like it is in East Nassau County."

JENKINS News Leader The first "Nassau County Vision 2032" public hearing was held Monday night in Yulee. Here is an excerpted list from comments list- ed: * Public Safety "Traffic is out of control." "Need more traffic lights on A1A." * Cultural Opportunities and the Arts "I want to see the libraries expanded, community arts - music, art, drama and continua- tion of the current arts." "It is disgraceful that a county with our budget gives nothing to the arts." "County needs to recognize more of the culture of our African- American residents." * Infrastructure "I would like to see public transportation between Nassau and Jacksonville." "Upgrade pri- mary roads to support future growth." "Develop regionwide sewage treatment plan for Yulee and Fernandina areas." "Another evacuation route for Amelia Island." "Construct new connector road from US 17 to Blackrock Road." * Economy & Workforce "I want more 'clean' job oppor- tunities for younger adults to con- tinue to live in their hometown." "I want affordable workforce housing in the future." "Tourism brings 'low wage' salaries. This county needs higher paying, 'high tech' businesses to bring up the wages in the county." * Governance "You should NOT start county commission meetings with a prayer to Jesus Christ. There are Jews (perhaps Muslims) here. You exclude us. How about an ecu- menical prayer?" "Elect a mayor for Yulee." "County administrator (empow- ered); expand commission to 7 members." "District elections of commis- sioners." "Our county does not need charter government." "Commission needs to stop micromanaging and let the county administrator manage." * Tourism "Activities throughout all of county, not just island." "We should rethink the rules governing short-term rentals." * Growth Management "I don't like approval of subdi- visions that are not needed flood- ing our inventory; lots are cleared with no trees left and no one is buying." "I love all the state parks and access to our beautiful beach." "Planned developments for housing that include 'afford- able' housing and a policy for affordable housing including set aside land." "Keep green space between major highways and shopping areas." * Education & School Facilities Plan "Full service college campus." I . ,:,i I IiI.. .1 board members not to be paid." "We need to increase our voca- tional endeavors." "An idea would be Keep Nassau Beautiful half day for students." "Magnet schools so we don't have to go to Jax." * Health Care & Social Services "Programs and services to sen- iors could be improved upon." "I want to see our community responsive to the needs of our youngest, those without voices." "More doctors and medical cen- ters for the entire county." * Environment "Create a 'real' recycling program and require recycling - not voluntary and pick up all plas- tics." "Better control with the paper mills and their emissions." "I want to see trees planted down the median on A1A." "Promote use of rail for paper mills rather than trucking in on A1A." "Without trees, we lose not only our quality of life but undermine tourist appeal which generates tax dollars." gjenkins@fbnewsleadercom WEST SIDE BRIEFS Recreation meeting The Nassau County Recrea- tion Commission meeting will be held at 7 p.m. March 6 at the Nassau County Building Main- tenance/Parks and Recreation office located at 45195 Mussel White Road, Callahan.

Each KIO measure goes to the head of each department, with each being ultimately responsible for the department's growth or decline. Solutions on how to be better are requested for each KIO. What is the bottom line? Each of these performance measures makes sure that every customer of the city has a say in the city's strategic plan and that the strategic plan is constantly updated to make sure the changing needs of the community are met. So, what are the results? The results are that the city is making sure all of its customers love where they live and have a say in how it is run and they are meeting and exceeding their performance measures. The city boasts an overall 90 percent approval rating for quality from both permanent residents and renters. The city's second largest customer base, business entities, gave the city an overall approval rating of 95 percent. The city also tracks trends in school ratings and crime ratings; 86 percent of schools in Coral Springs earned an "A" or better while being compared to just 68 per- cent of schools received an "A" in Broward County. The city also boasts the lowest crime rate in the state of Florida and the fourth lowest in the country for cities of its size. Coral Springs boasts that this does more than just make its residents happy. It also allows the city to allocate resources quickly to where they are most needed and desired. It also allows the govern- ment officials to look past the here and now and makes them aware of environmental issues and where they want to see the community in the future. The city also shows that employees are faster and more engaged in their work, making the city much more productive than similar sized gov- ernments and larger governments in the area. Coral Springs has a 95 percent approval rating when asked how they enjoy working for the city. A majority of these employees would "recommend a friend work for the city." This 95 percent is com- pared to just 60 percent of employees nationwide rating their employment as favorable on the National Human Capital Survey. What could be better for Nassau County? Before we look to what we want the community to be like in 20 or 50 years down the road, I think it is important that we are proactive in our govern- ment first. If we could look at how we want the county run, it will give new birth to ideas of how the community will be. It will also give every- one a say; gone are the headaches commonly asso- ciated with government rules and regulations. They are replaced with customer feedback, strate- gic planning and personal objectives; giving every resident, business and government employee a voice in how our county is run. It will also allow the officials to allocate resources faster, thereby making the quality of life in Nassau County better for all. Coral Springs has successfully made its city one of the best places to live in the country. However, with our natural resources, Southern hospitality and wonderful people, combined with a govern- ment focused on strategic planning and customer satisfaction, Nassau County is sure to be the best place to live, visit and work in the country. T heflyi I want it understood right up front that I am not a pilot; the flying wisdom I am about to impart has been carefully reviewed by the chief pilot in my life. Our latest airborne adventure began a few days after Christmas. Despite my loud protestations about traveling to the Frozen North, Andrew point- ed Rudolph the Red-Nosed Cessna toward Virginia and Maryland. As usual, he had spent the days before our departure on planning our flight; he carefully plotted the course, and then gathered all of the pertinent pub- lications he would need. He was particularly thorough this time, because we would be landing at Manassas Regional Airport, a field we'd never visited. An added challenge was that this air- port is in the Washington, D.C., control area, and he would be Stalking to Washington Center, one of the ' nation's ' Q busier air traffic con- Cara Curtin trol facilities.

By this time, Andy was flip- ping through the Instrument Approach Book. "Please say again. I am unfamiliar with the Code Four Arrival." You know how people can imply that you're an imbecile by their tone of voice? She had pol- ished that act to perfection. "It's in the book; it's been used for years." This circular conversa- tion continued until she crowed that a co-worker had found Code Four on page 5 of the Instrument Approach Book. (It took me two days to realize that even she had had to look it up!) We turned to the appropriate page and were appalled. First of all, the arrival wasn't a Code Four; it was a COATT-4. That's when I named her the Witch of Washington Center. Thanks, lady, for your help. COATT-4 is very long and very complicated. It makes provisions for stacking aircraft in one of several race- track holding patterns while they wait to land at one of the many runways in the Washington Center's control area. Rudolph would be playing do-si-do with the commercial airliners (affec- tionately and accurately called "Big Iron") going into Reagan National and Dulles International airports. Yikes! I suppressed a whimper as we approached the first navigation aid on this overly challenging pathway; the Witch then announced that we were leaving her fiefdom and would now have to contact Potomac Approach Control. When Andy told the new con- troller that we were executing the COATT-4 arrival, there was a slight pause before a very kind voice said, "Oh, no; we're not going to do that to you. Proceed direct to Manassas Regional as filed." We were safely on the ground in Manassas 30 minutes later. Our happy hour was punctuated by a toast to the Witch of Washington Center; I hope her cauldron is always half empty.

In U.S., ignorance is not bliss I thought it was just me, but my suspicions and worries were confirmed on NBC's Today show when a survey showed that Americans are dumber today. Well, dumber is a pretty harsh word, and although it could apply to some, I prefer the word ignorant. Ignorant has a mean connotation and I don't want to sound mean, so by definition (Webster's New World Dictionary) I mean, "lacking knowledge or experience; caused by or showing lack of knowledge; unaware." Awhile back I saw a survey that showed that 95 percent of Americans knew who was the president (the 5 percent could account for mental infirmity, age, other acceptable reasons, etc.), but the fright- ening numbers come after that. Only 75 percent of Americans knew who the vice president was, 25 per- cent knew who the secretary of state was; the same number knew who both of their U.S. senators were. Most people (at least a majority) knew who their governor was, but almost no one knew who the lieu- tenant governor was. OK, count me in; I had to look it up. Guess who is the lieutenant governor of Florida? Jeff Kottkamp. Amazing. But what is really scary is that one out of four college students couldn't show you where to find Iraq on a map. A considerable number of Americans think that people from New Mexico need a green card to live and work in the United States. There are people that don't know that you can drive to Alaska from the lower 48 (they think it's an island like Hawaii, because on maps of the U.S. they show ..... Alaska and Hawaii on the side, usually over the Pacific Ocean). "* Then there's grammar. OK, I have butchered the King's - English on more than one occa- *. sion, but some of the things I hear confound me. How can people say, "We is going ..." or "They was there..." and not 1 Cringe. Some people "aks" a question, while others say "I Coleman don't never ..." It's scary, espe- cially because I occasionally Langshaw even hear people with college - ....- degrees speaking like that. The hardest for me is to OPINIONS have people refute science sim- FROM THE ply because they don't get it, GOLDFISH and a simple answer is easier and accepted by their peers. Without going into too much of a rehash, how can people, especially people with doctorates, call evolu- tion "not a fact." Regardless of one's religious lean- ings, facts are facts. How something like evolution occurred may fall into the realm of religion, but the fact itself remains. It would be like saying man never went to the moon, because God didn't create man to fly. We may marvel at the possible miracle of flight, but it doesn't justify saying that Apollo wasn't the way it happened. Divine intervention may have happened, but the facts remain on how it happened. Anyway, this is not meant to be about Darwin or creationism. That was just an example of my con- cern about ignorance (as defined earlier). It seems that today Americans don't care much about learning. I say that generally. Of course there are many who do want to learn. But when I hear people say they don't listen to public radio because it's left wing, I am shocked. I am equally puzzled when people are amazed that I listen to Fox News. I am ignorant about many things (and most right- wingers will say I am ignorant about everything), and I feel compelled and embarrassed when I find myself misinformed or uninformed. In writing this piece, I went to the dictionary twice to make sure I was using the right word. On the way, I was sidetracked by several words that I didn't know. It is fun to peruse the dictionary, some- times it is distracting how much I need to learn as I search for the word I need. In the global economy and world village of today, knowledge is ever so important, and ignorance is a weight dragging us down. We better do something now, individually and as a nation, or else America will fall behind the emerging countries in Asia and Eastern Europe, and our ignorance will not be bliss. It starts with education, inside and outside of school. We will be a better community (big and small) when bumper stickers like "my child beat up your honor student" are an embarrassment as opposed to a point of pride. Hopefully I don't get beaten up for saying that. Coleman Langshaw ofFernandina Beach writes regularly for the News-Leader VOICE OF THE PEOPLE No inherent conflict I was surprised and disappointed that the superin- tendent and board of the Nassau County Schools promulgated Resolution 1238 (by a unanimous vote) in the course of a meeting on Jan. 24. The focus of the resolution is the proposed Sunshine State Standards for Science. The specific declarations expressed in the resolution are that "evo- lution is not presented as fact" and that "evolution is not presented at the exclusion of other theories of the origin of life." I write this letter as a scientifically trained physician who decided to obtain a master's degree in religion midway in my career. I have continued my education by reading in both the field of theology and religion and the field of science and medicine. My personal and pro- fessional path has led me to bridge between the two fields of study. I believe there need be no inherent con- flict between science and religion with respect to issues such as evolution and origins of life. In reviewing "Florida's Proposed Student Performance Science Standards," I first found an extensive and impressive listing of the members of the Framers Committee, supplemented by the list of national experts who presented research to the framers, members of the writing committee and expert review panelists. In my reading of the proposed science standards, evolution is not presented as "fact;" rather, it is pre- sented as "concept" or "organizing principle." The one reference to the origin of life in the proposed sci- ence standards is, "Describe the scientific explana- tions of the origin of life on Earth." That notion is quite different from stating that there is only one the- ory of the origin of life. I want also to address the letter in the News-Leader ("Mutation," Feb. 15) which stated that "there is still not one shred of evidence of one species mutating into another." For scientific evidence, I invite readers of the News-Leader to go to the Internet and study the material found at the website of the University of California's Museum of Paleontology, entitled "Understanding Evolution," http://evolution.berke ley.edu. The famous evolutionary biologist, Theodosius Dobzhansky, stated in the title of a 1973 essay, "Nothing in Biology Makes Sense except in the Light of Evolution." Note that Dobzhansky, born in Russia and having migrated to the United States, held an Orthodox Christian perspective. In that essay, he states the following: "Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not." The school board's resolution does not indicate what other theories of the origin of life might be con- sidered. I believe the state science standards should include only theories that are based on scientifically studied evidence. I think the biblical story of creation and the theory of so-called "intelligent design" do not qualify as concepts that can be studied using the sci- entific method. Thomas C. Washburn, M.D. Fernandina Beach Fact not faith The writer of the Feb. 15 letter headlined "Mutation" must have had tongue in cheek when he wrote, "the theory of evolution is based totally on faith, not on fact and the scientific record." The theory of evolution was developed by Charles Darwin from observations he made as the official biologist on a five-year (1831-1846) circumnavigation in HMS Beagle. The evidence he collected at the Galapagos Islands was particularly relevant. Despite the Feb. 15 letter, it is obvious that his theory was based not on faith but "on fact and scientific record." Incidentally, the evolution theory was simultane- ously and independently arrived at by another Brit, Alfred Wallace, from studies in Brazil and the East Indies. Darwin introduced the theory to the public with his 1859 book, The Origin of the Species. Therefore, he was given credit for it. The Feb. 15 letter writer goes on to say that some people have "confused the theory of evolution with ran- dom mutation." Mutation is a change in the DNA in the genes of an animal or a seed-producing plant. It usu- ally produces progeny unable to survive in its envi- ronment. Occasionally, however, the change results in better adapted progeny, and through natural selection the altered gene may pass on to succeeding generations. While Darwin and Wallace, like everyone at that time, were unaware of the mutation factor, they theorized that the fittest, regardless of how they happened to be so, had a better chance of surviving and reproducing. Thus, over generations, the characteristics of the species would gradually change to their likeness. And that's evolution! How is it possible, as the letter writer claims, to con- fuse the theory of evolution with random mutation? Mutation is not a separate entity. It is the driving force behind evolution. Bob Awtrey Fernandina Beach Animal Control I would like to commend Sheriff Tommy Seagraves for voicing his opinion about the deplorable condi- tions at the county animal control facility ("Time to bring Animal Control out of 'dark ages,'" Feb. 13). I appreciate his honesty and his willingness to take on such a monumental project. I hope that the county com- missioners will take up the challenge he has put forth to bring our facility "out of the dark ages." Deborah Watford Fernandina Beach A'ole "ME?!?LOWER THE PRICE OFOIL? YOU KNOW I AM POWERLESS OVER MARKETFORCES!" RJ MATSON/THE ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH Wind codes I beg you, in future articles regarding property insurance or insurance of any type, please contact knowledgeable insurance persons, licensed agents or the Office of Insurance Regulation, to make certain that comments you reproduce do not mislead your readers. It does not appear you did so in writing the article titled "Meet wind codes, save on insurance," Feb. 13. The gist of your article was essentially correct; there is, for example, a lot of money to be saved by mit- igating, and homeowners should get their homes inspected and shop for the best price and coverage. However your only source said "insurance companies are not going to volunteer information because the more people that know about it (mitigation discounts) cuts into their profits." He then referred to the infor- mation concerning mitigation as the "fine print" usually attached to the renewal information that is "not easily understandable." First, mitigation inspections tell an insurer not only what discounts to give but often whether they want to insure the home. I'm sure you understand that it would- n't be "profitable" to insure only homes that are more likely to suffer greater damage. To the contrary, insur- ing homes that are less likely to suffer losses is more profitable, which is why carriers want to offer dis- counts that reduce premiums - that way they can com- pete with other carriers who also want to write the better protected homes. He should also consider that in your area a large majority of homes, particularly those nearest the beach, are insured in Citizens Property Insurance Corp., the state insurer of last resort, not with standard market companies. Citizens, which is probably the largest wind insurer in your county, is a non-profit entity. Second, he may think the mitigation form is "not eas- T ily understandable" but I don't and neither does the state of Florida. The form is required by law and designed and approved by the Office of Insurance Regulation, not by insurance carriers. Every sentence, every word and every line of type is either in the law or was put together after months of workshops and meetings and final approval by Florida's insurance regulator. These forms list and describe every miti- gation discount factor available, the percentage dis- count that could be applied, what to do to get the work done and receive the discount and whether or not the policyholders' current policy reflects that particular discount. This is true for every residential policy issued in Florida. While I'm sure he meant well, as did you, his com- ments reflect an assumption based on limited under- standing of the law and the insurance mechanism gen- erally. We would appreciate your clarification of these facts in a future article. By the way, if you need more information, as your article said, it can be found by logging on to www.floir.com or www.mysafefloridahome.com. J. Scott Johnson Executive Vice President Florida Association of Insurance Agents VIEWPOINT/LucY NADEAU/YULEE 'Personal agendas, bloated egos' thwart reform sinking ship without a captain for quite some time. With the possibility of the sher- iff taking over the responsibility of man- ning the ship, it has suddenly become of utmost importance to our county commissioners. Why this level of concern has not always been prevalent can be summed up in a few words said to me by Commission Chair Marianne Marshall, "Honey, they (the county commissioners) don't care." This was her response when I wanted to provide her with documents to share with her fellow com- missioners that would provide insight into how ani- mal control is managed in other parts of the United States. The commissioners are quick to jump back onto the ship since the new captain is so probable. Why? Because the sheriff will be removing from them that giant thorn that Animal Control has become; it will allow them to completely wash their hands of it, and the less responsibility they have the better they feel. It is interesting how the commissioners have handled the improprieties of Brenda Rothwell. According to recent newspaper reports, the records for 2007 intake versus euthanizations are "in disar- ray" and "are being audited." Has the federal Drug Enforcement Administration been invited to review the drug logs that were likely not maintained? How can she be trusted to handle the affairs of Code Enforcement if she cannot maintain governmental documents to dispense euthanization drugs? It all smells like rotten fish to me and obviously the com- missioners have grown immune to the stench to allow her to remain in a supervisory capacity. For those of you who don't know, there was an attempt to form a "Pet Alliance" consisting of all of the rescue groups in Nassau County so that collec- tively they could work toward a common goal - the betterment of animals. At the initial meeting of the "Pet Alliance," notably missing were Nassau Spay/neuter The Spay Nassau program and River City Community Animal Hospital, a low-cost mobile spay/neuter clinic that has added Yulee Petco to its stops, offer animal spay/neuter programs. If you don't qualify for Spay Nassau, then you can be seen at River City Community Animal Hospital as there are no financial guidelines. Contact Spay Nassau at (904) 425-0005 and River City Community Animal Hospital at (904) 733-8123. You can also go directly to a local veterinarian, who may offer payment plans or other means to financially assist you in having your pet spayed or neutered. Humane Society and Nassau County Animal Control. Since these two organizations are key ele- ments in providing animal care and ensuring animal welfare, you would think that they would have been there, right? But they weren't asked to attend. In fact, the meeting agenda included a discussion topic as to whether or not they should be included in this "Pet Alliance." What good is an alliance if everyone can't be united? After this "Pet Alliance" meeting, a meeting was held with the sheriff and rescue groups to discuss the possibility of his office taking over Animal Control. Again, notably absent were Nassau Humane Society and Nassau County Animal Control. They were again not asked to attend. How can a group of people who claim to have the best interests in mind for the animals of this county not include an organization that has performed the services of animal control previously nor the agency that is under discussion? The answers are personal agendas, bloated egos and a dislike for the people who are in charge of x those entities. I was in attendance at the first meet- ing held by the sheriff and was greatly disheartened when I left. Since (Animal Control Interim Director) Rhett Holden-Dodge wasn't in attendance, a few people decided it would be OK to express their dislike for him. One of those people was Commissioner Marshall, who said, "I knew I'd made a mistake when I agreed to hiring him (Mr. Holden-Dodge)." Instead of focusing on the problems with the shel- ter, how to remedy them promptly, how to assist Mr. Holden-Dodge in his quest to improve the situation, Commissioner Marshall instead took the liberty of saying she knew she'd made a mistake agreeing to bring him back on board. As I expressed at the county commissioner's meeting on Oct. 31 before being rudely told to sit down and shut up by Commissioner Jim B. Higginbotham, I felt that Mr. Holden-Dodge's previ- ous tenure at the shelter had mediocre results at best. Why bring back a person that didn't do the best of jobs when he was in command before? Mr. Holden-Dodge offered the commissioners a deal they couldn't refuse - $1,000 a month as acting interim director. At the meeting with the sheriff after hearing all of the negative comments about him, I made the statement that I thought it would benefit the animals best if we could put the past behind us and lend a helping hand to him to get Animal Control back on track. Obviously I am the only person who felt that way. The reason the commissioners clung to the offer for $1,000 a month is because they knew they would not find another person to accept the job for that amount. He provided them with a reprieve from the barrage of questions the public had. He was the quick fix they were looking for. While I still do not agree with all of his tactics, I laud Mr. Holden- Dodge's efforts as he does the thankless job of being the director because he is there for the right reasons - the animals. One of the newest rescue groups in the county, RAIN, appears to have monopolized the sheriff's attention with regard to how the shelter should be run. He has had subsequent meetings with people involved with RAIN, yet, to my knowledge, he has not asked for input from any other rescue group since the initial meeting, nor has he asked any per- son employed by Animal Control what they feel would benefit the shelter most. We can all sit back and say what we think is best, but how about asking Patsy Bryant, who has been at the shelter a number of years, what she thinks? I believe she would pro- vide valuable "inside" information on what areas are the biggest problems. The sheriff's proposal to take over Animal Control is correct in one thing. Animal Control in the county is disgustingly underfunded. However, I question his motives with the redundant positions he has proposed to staff the shelter. Do you really need a shelter manager when you have a shelter director? Do you really need an office manager when you only have two receptionists? Why not uti- lize that funding to provide spaying and neutering for people who have come to Animal Control as a last resort? The more animals that are altered, the fewer there will be in the shelter. I ask that everyone take the opportunity to visit the shelter. Through the hard work of countless vol- unteers and shelter staff, the animals are better off now than they have been in some time. Come and see the sad conditions they have to live in. By doing so, you will have done one thing that the commis- sioners have not - visited the facility that has been such a dilemma to them. Out of sight and out of mind is their motto and they are suddenly all too ready to pull money out of their magic hat to have the sheriff take it all away due to the amount of pub- lic scrutiny they are under.

Pedaling cross country for charity Jamie O'Brien, son of Dr. James and Tina O'Brien, a recent graduate of the University of North Florida, is about to set out on the adventure of his life. This summer he joins other fraternity members to ride across the country from Seattle, Wash., to Washington, D.C. - a 4,000-mile trip. This is not just a young man's adventure. It is a part of a commit- ment his fraternity has made to promote and create greater understanding for the dis- abled. He needs your help. He has to raise $5,000 to participate and has a personal goal of raising $6,000. It is refreshing in this day and age to find a young man committed to do something that is outside any stereotypical image one may imagine when thinking of fraternity brothers off on a post graduation celebra- tion. This will be a hard trip and full of physi- cal challenge. O'Brien sees the opportunity as a good break between his undergraduate and grad- uate studies, but more important is an opportunity to do something that will make a difference for his fraternity's designated charity. Push America is the national philanthro- py of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Since 1977, Push America has been promoting awareness and a greater understanding of people with disabilities while providing lead- ership, service and educational opportuni- ties to the members of Pi Kappa Phi. The fraternity remains the only national college fraternity to create and maintain its own national philanthropy. Journey of Hope is one of several pro- grams coordinated by Push America. Each summer, 90 members of Pi Kappa Phi from across the U.S. cycle from either Seattle, Wash., or San Francisco, Calif., to Washington, D.C. As they bicycle across the Dickie Anderson FROM THE PORCH country, they will par- ticipate in activities and events to pro- mote a greater under- standing of people with disabilities. Through team mem- ber fundraising and corporate sponsor- ships, the event raises more than $400,000. Beginning in 2005, Push America imple- mented a third route of the Journey of Hope. This route begins in Florence, Ore., and ends in Washington, D.C., retracting the steps of Bruce Rogers, the Journey of Hope's founder. Push America also coordinates a six- week program during the summer where members of Pi Kappa Phi will construct accessible amenities at six camps that serve people with disabilities across the country. Team members also have the opportunity for personal interaction with the campers who will benefit from their hard work. O'Brien reflects, 'This is personal for me. One of my aunts is mentally disabled, Push America's mission and goals really hit home." Catching up with Tina, O'Brien's proud mother, at her husband's busy veterinarian practice, she talked of her pride and, yes, a little concern about the trip he will be mak- ing starting this summer. The senior O'Briens will travel to the Northwest to see their son off while celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and plan to be at the finish line in Washington, D.C., when he fin- ishes his great adventure.

Surprise birthday parties for Owens, Jones I The Lord is good; the Lord is kind; great is his grace, his mercy is sure; and the whole race of man shall find his truth from age to age endure. Birthday celebrations continue to bring family and friends together for a very happy occasion. Most recently there were two cel- ebrations.

The Honorable Judge Granville Burgess and Mrs. Burgess, members of the retired teachers association and church family members filled the fellowship hall. Dinner was catered by Patty McNeil. Rose's sister, Wynona Tokes, and nephew, Mark Hunter, came to the birthday celebration a bit late. They traveled from Atlanta to wish their brother-in-law and uncle well wishes. The other celebration brought on the surprise for Evans Jones, who thought he was attending a communi- ty celebration for his sister, Maybelle. When he entered the door, the crowd applauded. He was invited to come up front with his sister. There he was told about the surprise celebrating his 70th birthday. He dropped his head and said, "You got me." He thought he too could not be surprised, but his wife of almost 30 years, Rose, loves him so much that she wanted to surprise him. For love is the greatest feeling, it is like a play, it is what I feel for you each and every day.

CAMPUS NOTES + BLACK RELIGION FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008/News-Leader How joining a perfect church can ruin your life Never before had I heard a man speak like this man. It's true I had only been walking with the Lord for a little while, yet some- how I knew this man was differ- ent. As the meeting came to a close several people began to surround him armed with all their ques- tions. Though I was only visiting the church, and he was just a guest speaker, God was about to do something that would forever change my life. While many of the people who called that particular church their home gathered around him, I eased up behind them hoping to get a chance to meet him myself. As the crowd slowly thinned and I finally stood before him, his gentle eyes and warm smile put me right at ease. "Hi, I'm Rob," I said as I stuck out my hand to greet him. "Hello," he said as he placed his thick, aged hand in mine. "It's nice to meet you." "Thank you so much for the mes- sage tonight," I told him. "God really spoke to me through it." "Well praise the Rob Lord," he Goyette replied. 'That makes it all ..... worth while." PULPIT "I do have NOTES a question for you if you don't mind," I continued. "OK," he said, "I'll do my best. What is it?" "Well, I'm having a hard time finding the right church to attend," I told him. "I've visited several, but things just don't seem quite right and I don't know what to do about it." His gentle eyes looked right at me with such com- passion, and I'm sure pity, as he began speaking the words that would alter my life forever. "I travel all over the world," he said, "and I go into a lot of differ- ent churches. I have to admit, I don't always agree with what I see," he continued. "But if you ever find a perfect church don't go in it because you'll ruin it!" His words were like a sword cutting open my heart and reveal- ing my pride. Though tempered with love, the impact left me stunned. "That makes a lot of sense," I told him, and thanked him once again for his ministry. As I walked away, it all seemed so clear. The whole time I was expecting everyone else to meet up to my standards, I was not con- sidering the imperfections of my own life that I would be bringing to them. The plain and simple truth is, there are no perfect churches because there are no perfect peo- ple yet. As a matter of fact, it's the one great thing we all have in common; we need a savior. For me church isn't about gathering with a group of people who've got it all together, so we can act better than those who don't; but rather it's the place where people just like you and me come to worship and thank God for meeting us right where we are. It's hard to believe that it's been almost 23 years since my encounter with the traveling min- ister that night, and that I now am the senior pastor of the very church that I once judged not good enough to attend. I can only imagine how God must get a good chuckle out of it all. This much I know. When I finally made the decision to stop holding others to a standard that I myself couldn't live up to, and joined myself to a group of people that would accept me as I was, my life has never been better.

SUBMITTED A rendering of the church currently under construction at Amelia Park, which will house the worship community of Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Construction begins on church at Amelia Park Amelia Park Development announces the commencement of construction of a church at the traditional neighborhood devel- opment. Groundbreaking for the sanctuary and parish hall took place in January and construction is expected to be complete by this summer - creating a facility for worship as well as gatherings and meetings of Amelia Park resi- dents. "A church is an important com- ponent of any neighborhood and we are pleased to include a place of worship at Amelia Park," said Joel Embry, managing partner of Amelia Park Development, in a press release. "Not only will this be a place for quiet reflection and church activities, it will also be a convenient community meet- ing place for all Amelia Park res- idents to utilize on a regular basis." Amelia Park Development has worked diligently to include essential elements of design at Amelia Park to provide civic, com- munity and commercial spaces within walking distance of a broad mix of nearby homes. Already the neighborhood includes such community com- ponents as a neighborhood park and pavilion, a town square, a retail and office center, a YMCA, walking pathways and sidewalks. The Amelia Park master plan also calls for the eventual addition of a school. "The worship and meeting space was a key element of the original Amelia Park master plan created by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company, so we are exceedingly pleased to see this progress," Embry said. The church at Amelia Park will house the worship community of Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Designed by Amelia Island archi- tect John Dodd and built by Amelia Builders of NE FL Inc., the 2,500-square-foot church will reflect some of the classic, simple, traditional architecture that is prevalent at Amelia Park and will accommodate more than 100 peo- ple. The church is located at the neighborhood's Citrona Drive entrance near the McArthur Family YMCA. Besides helping to provide a sense of community, "Our church will contribute aesthetically to the neighborhood as well," said Father Michael Bowhay, rector of Holy Trinity. "The design con- figuration, materials and site plan- ning for the church all reflect our desire to add to the overall beau- ty and balance in Amelia Park."

Night blooming jasmine a good pick for Florida Q Would you be able to iden- *tify a plant growing in my yard? I never see any flowers. It is evergreen but I cannot find any information about it. DG A Recently, I have received *numerous clippings of this shrub into the office. With so many people interested in the plant I felt compelled to put the answer in the newspaper. I sus- pect the small, shiny white fruit is what piqued your interest. One of the Master Gardener vol- unteers recognized it as the Night Blooming Jessamine, Cestrum nocturnum. It produces flowers but they are small and open up at night, which may be one of the rea- sons you have not noticed them. The name is derived from the flowers producing a strong, sweet scent at night that appar- ently attracts a number of wildlife. Night Blooming Jessamine, *MSIDENT .

Georgia, Louisiana, i nTexas and California and other areas with- in cold har- diness Beck zones 8-11. Jordc This shrub .typically grows up to GARDEN 4 feet in TALK height but can spread up to 12 feet. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and blooms best in high sun areas but can adapt shady sites. Propagation occurs easily by cuttings. It does not require extensive pruning so it is easy to maintain a natural shape. In colder zones the shrub may freeze back but it should pro- duce new growth in the late spring. Q I have dwarf oleander and .I just noticed that the leaves are missing. When I looked closer I saw orange caterpillars with black bristles. What is eating my plant? JD A.Your plant is being eaten S.by the oleander caterpillar. Normally the cooler tempera- tures we've had this winter would stop or slow the caterpil- lars' feeding, but I have not seen this to be true. I suspect shrubs planted near the house or in an alcove may be in a warmer, more pro- tected area that would allow the insect a perfect environment to continue growing and feed- ing. Oleander caterpillars have been found on plants in the UF/IFAS Nassau County Demonstration garden as well as my own home - so you are not alone. Despite their threatening appearance they are quite harm- less to humans so hand removal works very easily as many are too large for the chemical appli- cation of pesticides to be worth- while. However, if they are small (one inch or less) you might try an application of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is a naturally occurring bacterial dis- ease used on insects. Bt insecti- cides are most commonly used against some leaf and needle feeding :l.,ii 1" h- Recently, strains have been produced that affect certain fly larvae, such as mosquitoes, and larvae of leaf beetles. Bt is considered safe to people, pets and wildlife. Be careful to avoid using this chem- ical around butterfly larvae as they will be destroyed along with the pests. In addition, this chemical is temperature sensitive so store it in a dark, cool environment. High heat destroys the bacteria and renders it useless. As always, follow the directions on the label for best management and control. Q What is this small plant I .found in my yard? BC A What a nice surprise to *find such a beautiful plant in your yard. I suspect this flow- ering plant is a terrestrial orchid in the genus Corallorhiza. It is so tiny that most people would overlook it or think it a weed. I am proud of you for noticing it at all. This plant grows about 4 inches in height in any type of moist soil but prefers shaded areas - typically hardwood forests. More specifically, I believe this orchid might be Corallorhiza wisteriana, Spring Coralroot, which blooms in the early spring and is found throughout most of the south- ern and eastern part of the United States. Of course bloom- ing this time of year is a bit early for C. wisteriana so I could be wrong. The early bloom may be the result of a special micro-cli- mate on your property that allows the plant protection from winter chills. One of my sources has this plant listed as threatened but I can find no current U.S. or Florida sources listing it as endangered or threatened. However, you might make some effort to protect it as it is such a wonderful addition to your land- scape.

Jones, sang happy birthday and shared with him by phone from Texas. His 94-year-old mother, Annie Johnson, along with other family and friends, some from Hilliard, Callahan, Kings Ferry, Yulee, Jacksonville and other sur- rounding areas, were at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for a celebration of love. Love is like a smile, it is like a song, it is a great emotion that keeps us going strong. That love was put together by his daughters with slides about their father and his family. His nephew, Patrick Cribb, also joined in the presentation. Inspirational words came from Evangelist Clara Stamps on "How Strong is Your Love?" Rose says, "I love you with all my heart. And I have poured my entire soul into you, right from the start. For the race is not given to the swift, nor the strong, but he that endureth to the end." Hang on in there, Rose, and allow your love to endure.

"We couldn't do it without the YMCA care here," said the grand- mother, who also has her own 16- s year-old son at home, in a press release. "I get Darian here and he comes before and after school and he just loves it." Six-year-old Darian, who also recently lost his father, entered the program two years ago when they realized he needed some consis- tent care. After he moved in with his grandmother, the YMCA became an extension of his new loving home, where staff say they've noticed huge improve- ments in his behavior. Family is the essential ingredi- ent of a happy and healthy com- munity and the YMCA is dedicat- ed in doing everything it can to strengthen the family bond and ultimately the community. One hundred percent of what the YMCA collects goes to provide out- reach programs within the com- munities on Florida's First Coast and last year the organization gave more than $2.7 million, according to the press release. That's more than $7,000 per day or $50,000 per month and it is all in a pursuit of building "strong kids, strong fam- ilies, strong communities," the release stated.

Just picture your mind when you walk into the YMCA ... all those people powering the bicycles, the elliptical trainers and pushing and pulling the Nautilus equipment. That is a lot of energy that could be used to power the televisions or even the lights. The Y could even somehow store the energy and then donate it back to the electric company to be passed onto someone who is strug- gling to pay their bill. Now, while I may be able to dream up the idea, I have no idea how to actually make it work. If you are able to come up with a way to make that happen, let me know. As you will read, others are already working on other ways to harvest the energy of our motion. Walkand talk If you could power your cell phone simply by wearing a special knee brace, would you? Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Michigan have come up with just such a device. The brace was designed to assist an injured person with walking, but the developers quickly realized that it had other applications. As the braced knee moves back and forth, energy is created and the brace transfers it into a generator, which can then be attached to an electronic device. Researchers showed that simply walking for one minute could power a phone for 10 minutes. Wear your power shirt Researchers from Emory University and Georgia Tech are also at work developing "power shirt" able to generate electricity to power small electronic devices for soldiers in the field, hikers and others whose physical motion could be harnessed and converted to electrical energy. This month's journal Nature details how pairs of textile fibers covered with zinc oxide nanowires gener- ate electrical current when they are mechanically deformed, a phenomenon known as the piezoelectric effect. Harvesting this electrical current from many of these fiber pairs woven into a shirt or jacket could allow your body movement to power a range of portable electronic devices. Researchers also noted how the fibers could also be woven into curtains, tents or other structures to capture energy from wind motion, sound vibration or other mechanical energy. 'The fiber-based nanogen- erator would be a simple and economical way to harvest energy from physical move- ment," said Zhong Lin Wang, a Regents professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. "If we can combine many of these fibers in double or triple layers in clothing, we could provide a flexible, fold- able and wearable power source that, for example, would allow people to gener- ate their own electrical cur- rent while walking," Wang said. Even the simple act of breathing could create energy that could be captured. This column is written to discuss issues regarding sports, medicine and safety.

PIRATES AT PLAY PHOTOS BY BEVH JrONS/NEWS-LEADER Softball and baseball season is in full swing for the Fernandina Beach High School Pirates. Katie McElhaugh, left, started for the FBHS Lady Pirates Wednesday and Myles Rabant, right, was on the mound for the Pirates Monday. The Lady Pirates col- lected their first win of the season over Lee Wednesday. Lee was also a victim of the Pirates (2-1) on Monday, 16-0. Pirates blank Lee 16-0, improve to 2-1 Lady Pirates get first win against Generals BETH JONES News-Leader After losing the season opener to Baker County Feb. 14, the Pirates have rallied to win their last two games and are 2-1 on the season. "We let a two-run lead slip away in our open- er at Baker County," said Ken Roland, Fernandina Beach High School head baseball coach. "We carried a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning, only to let Baker back into the game. We failed to execute defensively and that con- tributed to our late collapse. "We faced an outstanding pitcher (senior right-hander Jerrell Rodgers) and our young hitters did a good job working the count." Baker scored three unearned runs in the seventh to win 3-2. The Pirates collected six hits with Justin Crews and Trent Luman accounting for two each. Robert Martin and Hunter Daniel had one apiece. Davis and Daniel knocked in the Pirates' runs. Three pitchers shared time on the mound. Justin Day started and struck out three, walked four and gave up just two hits. Andy Bowles gave up two runs on one hit and Jarrod Carlton allowed one run on one hit. The Pirates got their first win of the season Feb. 15 at home. They defeated Terry Parker 7-6. "Again we faced a pitcher with good veloc- ity and movement and we did a good job put- ting the ball in play," Roland said. The Pirates had nine hits on the night. "We just were not sharp on the mound and walks put Terry Parker in position to make the game close," Roland said. "Justin Day's single in the seventh scored Harrison Yonn with the game winner." Justin Day had two hits and Womble, Crews, Jeff Day, Carlton, Martin and Luman had one hit each. Justin Day and Carlton had two RBIs apiece and Martin and Luman each knocked in a run. Tyler Womble was the winning pitcher. He gave up two runs on one hit and walked three. Harrison Yonn started, giving up three runs, one unearned, on two hits, walking five and striking out three. Yonn gave way to Bradley Manning, who allowed a run, walked two and struck out one batter. On Monday, FBHS shut out Lee 16-0. "We pounded out 13 hits in the five-inning game," Roland said. "Pitching was sharper. Our young pitchers are working hard to stay in advantage counts." Myles Rabant was the winning pitcher. He gave up just one hit and no runs, walked five and struck out three. Cameron Rose pitched the final inning, giving up no runs or hits and striking out two. Ill Clockwise from top left: Pirate Justin Crews at the plate Monday; Lady Pirate shortstop Bree Peterson at Lee Wednesday; teammate Carrington Fussell behind the plate. She also pitched against the Generals. At the plate, Carlton went 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Jeff Day and Justin Day had two hits apiece and both had a double in the game. Jeff Day had one RBI and Justin Day knocked in four runs. Daniel, Crews, Yonn and Martin each had a hit. Crews tripled. "With the graduation of 11 seniors, our team is young and inexperienced," Roland said. "We have three returning pitchers with right- handers Justin Day and Jarrod Carlton along with left-hander Tyler Womble. Justin Crews returns at shortstop. Senior second baseman Bud Davis also returns. All of the others are new to the line-up." "Key newcomers are Robert Martin (junior third baseman), Hunter Daniel (junior left field- er), Trent Luman (sophomore right fielder)," Roland said. "Junior catcher Jeff Day brings some expe- rience behind the plate. Sophomores Harrison Yonn, Cameron Rose, Myles Rabant will be counted on to give quality starts on the mound and in the infield.

Another freshman, Carrington Fussell, pitched the final two, giv- ing up one run and striking out four. Fussell and Whitney Small had two hits apiece and the Lady Pirates got one apiece from McElhaugh, Hannah Crews, Ebony Peterson and Chelsea Cheshire. "We've got a lot of work to do," said Donnie Fussell, head softball coach for Fernandina Beach High School. "A lot of the girls don't play travel ball and our opponents do. We play in a real tough district. It's a tremendous chal- lenge. "We still have 20 ballgames. Our job is to get them focused and get better. I want them to be competitive. They don't have to win. I just want them to get better every time they get on the field. "We're playing real good softball teams who know how to play. We've had too many mental mistakes. We have to improve and we know how to do it."

In their district opener Feb. 15, Yulee beat Bishop Snyder 11-2. "Sophomore pitcher Buck Marell (1-0) threw four strong innings," said Will Minor, Yulee High School head baseball coach. Marell struck out 11 and gave up just one hit. The Yulee offense collected 14 hits, including home runs by sen- ior Cory Reynolds (1-3, two RBIs and two runs) and sophomore Travis Higgs (2- 4,2 RBIs and two runs). - Senior Brock Dickinson went 2-for-2 with two and scored one run; senior Josh McKendree went 2-for-4 and also scored; Marell was 3-for-3 at the plate and scored a pair of runs; and senior Josh Kubala and freshman Andrew Minor had a double and an RBI apiece. "It was good to pick up our first district win in our first district game," Coach Minor said. "Every district win is big because we only play each team once. With six dis- trict games to go, it feels good to be 1-0." Yulee bettered that record on Tuesday, beating Baldwin 5-1 and pushing its district record 2-0. On the mound for Yulee, Dickinson (1-0) and McKendree (one save) combined for a no-hitter. Dickinson had 12 strikeouts and a walk and gave up just one run. McKendree struck out two to earn the save. "The combined no-hitter was McKendree's second combined no- hitter in school history," Coach Minor said. Leading the offense were Cassidy, who went 2-for-3 and scored a run; Minor, who went 2- for-4 with an RBI and scored twice, and senior Josh Oliver, who went 2- for-3 with a home run, two RBIs and one run scored. Dickinson also scored for the Hornets.

The game was continued in the fifth inning after weather suspended play on Feb. 12. "It was 1-0, but we did stupid little things," said Randalyn Rogers, Yulee High School head softball coach. "We've definitely been struggling. We play well the first five innings or so." The Lady Hornets' two wins came Feb. 7 against Lee (16-4) and Feb. 15 against Fernandina Beach (10-0). Against FBHS, Morgan Mason hit a home run and pitcher Holly Sutherland threw a no-hitter. Mason got her second home run of the season Tuesday in the Lady Hornets' 6-4 loss to Hilliard.

In fact, the fishing action was quite slow while Norman Bray, Dan Nolan and I caught and released seven bass weighing to three pounds. A full moon did arrive Thursday.

Try casting a No. SPECIAL Bill Irwin, left, and Dan Nolan caught and released their huge catch of bass that weighed to 8 pounds. 11 silver rapala while working the lure just under the surface with an erratic swimming action. Surf fishermen have been doing well for beach whiting ranging from 1-2 pounds.

Beck (www.carolbeck.net) is exhibiting her large intuitive abstract pieces along with Jacksonville artist Zac Freeman's photos of light and found object portraits in an exhibit entitled "Intuition Illuminated." Beck is best known for her paintings of energy and light. Her current exhibit is chosen from her Meditation Series. In this exhibit, Beck tries to express depth and power through simplicity; continu- ally trying to paint what feels like pure essence. Her paintings seem to clear a space from normal everyday life by incorporating wide expanses of r white surface and then engage the F viewer's eye With fresh, energetic, light-filled col- ors. Some of Beck's latest Beck works, based on a recent trip to India, are displayed in two of the Art Kiosks located in the entryway of the Jacksonville Airport. One displays her Sari Series, where she recre- ates passing glimpses of women's saris, and incorporates stamps from antique textile woodblocks she brought home from New Delhi. Another textile-based series, Woven Passages, is displayed in ART Continued on 5B ,', t / r- . ^' ^ ^.

WEINTRAUB For the News Leader I recently wrote about Australia's problems with a glut of shiraz, corpo- rate takeovers and a decline in quality. But there are always exceptions to the rule and a recent arrival here is one of them. Forefathers shiraz is produced from a 15-acre vineyard in McLaren Vale, South Australia. This shiraz is a single vineyard wine produced by Goldschmidt Vineyards. The 2003 vin- tage was -- rated a "91" INE by The Wine l Spectator, which P TERS ranked it 63rd world- wide in its "Top 100 Wines" in 2005. That year it also won a gold medal in the West Coast Wine Competition and the Indy International Wine Competition. And it's available for $13 at Amelia Liquors (next to Harris Teeter). The distributor says it is also available through Costco Warehouse. Goldschmidt is one of the smaller Australian vintners that still strive for quality, not corporate profits. Structure, intensity and complexity, the three characteristics of quality wines, are their objectives, which they do achieve in this fine example of how shiraz should taste. The Forefathers shiraz is made using traditional Australian winemaking techniques, with short time on skins and fermen- tation in barrel. After ferment is com- pleted the wine is barrel racked and left in French oak for 12 months. The wine remains unfiltered and unfined, preserving as much of the natural fla- vors as possible. WINE Continued on 3B BILLY JOEL MUSICAL I EL H P BACK + CYAN MAGENTA AT THE MOVIES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008, News-Leader COMING TUESDAY The Darjeeling Limited (Comedy. R. 91m.. 2007) Three brothers have a reunion in India and take a strange and eccentric train journey in search of themselves, enlightenment, their mother, and certain obscure over-the-counter remedies guar- anteed to cure sobriety. Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman star in a laid-back human comedy that meanders so persuasively, it gets us meander- ing right along. With Amara Karan as a seductive train stewardess and Wally Wolodarsky as Wilson's employee, who issues laminated daily schedules from his office in the baggage car. Directed by Wes Anderson ("Rushmore," "The Royal Tenenbaums"). Rating: *** Y 30 Days of Night (Horror. R. 113m.. 2007) Barrow, Alaska, said to be the northernmost town in America, undergoes 30 days without sun every winter, which makes it an ideal holiday haven for vampires. The townsfolk, led by Josh Hartnett and Melissa George, do battle against ravenous vampire hordes led by Danny Huston, in a film that is well-directed and - acted. Rating: ** 2 Beowulf (Fantasy. PG-13.114m..2007) A titanic epic battle between the monster Grendel and the hero Beowulf, shown by director Robert Zemeckis with rip-roaring gusto by using the same technol- ogy as his "Polar Express," so that animated characters look almost real.

Lots of nudity and yet a PG-13 rating. You see, Jolie (ITAL) isn't really there, (UNITAL) although she's there enough that she says she won't be taking her own kids. Absurd violent action in the Monty Python spirit. Rating: *** Death at a Funeral (Comedy. R. 90m.. 2007) British comedy involving unplanned entrances and exits, misbehavior of corpses and just plain wacky eccentricity. Directed by Frank Oz, it finds its laughs in the peculiar human trait of being most tempted to laugh when we're absolutely not supposed to. With Matthew Macfadyen, Keeley Hawes, Ewen Bremner, Jane Asher, Rupert Graves and, last but not least, Peter Dinklage. Rating: *** Goya's Ghosts (Drama. R. 114m.. 2007) Set in the time of the Spanish Inquisition, Milos Forman's film interweaves stories of the Spanish artist, an innocent young girl, a priest, a merchant and the royal court. Extraordinarily beauti- ful, as much a series of striking images as a linear story. Starring Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, Jose Luis Gomez and Randy Quaid. Filled with blood, sex and fears. Rating: *** SILK (Romantic drama. R. 110 m.. 2007) A languid, too languid, story of romantic regrets, mostly ours, because romance is expected to carry the film without explaining it. It is told as a mournful flashback, circa 1860, narrated by a man (Michael Pitt) who has been in love with two women, one French (Kiera Knightley), one in far-off Japan (SeiAshina), where he goes to buy silkworms. Languid, slow, underwhelming. Rating: ** OUT NOW Michael Clayton (Drama. R. 119m.. 2007) George Clooney plays a slick, efficient but weary fixer for a big law firm, Sydney Pollack is the head of the firm, Tom Wilkinson is the partner who has just stripped naked during a deposition hear- ing in Milwaukee, and Tilda Swinton represents the corporate client who is horrified to find such a man leading their defense. A near-perfect example of the legal/business thriller. Written and directed by Tony Gilroy, who wrote all the "Bourne" picture. Rating: **** Horror-comedy a cheeky commentary VIDEOALERT JIM EMERSON Universal Press Syndicate A few things we can learn from the experimental horror- comedy 'The Signal": 1. Do not live in a place called "Terminus." There's no future in it. 2. If your cable goes out, don't stare at the mesmerizing static. Just turn off the TV. 3. Do not put on headphones and listen to music while stroll- ing down the corridor in your apartment building if it's strewn with freshly slaughtered corpses, especially if madmen with gar- den shears are also present. 4. It doesn't hurt to wear a tin- foil hat sometimes. That first one is a given. The second one you should already know from life experience (it hurts your eyes) and from movies like "Videodrome" and the Japanese horror film "Ringu" ('The Ring"). The third one you should know from every zombie or slasher movie ever made, and besides, it's just common sense. And the fourth, well, that's just a bonus tip that could come in handy someday. Written and directed in three segments, or "transmissions," by David Bruckner, Jacob Gentry and Dan Bush, respectively, 'The Signal" originated as an experi- ment called "Exquisite Corpse," in which a story is passed along from one filmmaker to another, each taking it in new directions before handing it off to the next. The cumulative result is a movie that explores the common ground between visceral horror and sketch comedy, and finds plenty of it. Both forms share a zest for the outlandish in logic Be Kind Rewind (Comedy. PG-13. ll01minutes) After every tape in a VHS rental store is inadvertently erased, Jack Black and Mos Def don't want the store owner (Danny Glover) to find out. So they set to work to "re-enact" the films in low-tech home movies. I felt positive and genial while watching it, but I didn't break out in paroxysms of laughter. Written and directed by the usually more brilliant Michel Gondry. Rating: **! Charlie Bartlett (Comedy, r, 97minutes) Anton Yelchin is appealingly goofy in this teen comedy about a kid's yearning for popularity won by illegally selling prescrip- tion drugs to his fellow students. Like many of John Hughes' high and execution, which is probably why the frightening and the laughable bleed together so readily. On the scary side, "The Signal" has a 1970s low-budget look and feel that serves it well: garish, grainy, raw. On the funny side - the middle section is a splash of bright red black come- dy - it gives us characters who openly acknowledge the prepos- terous genre cliches and conven- tions - idiotic decision-making (often involving trips to the base- ment), stock characters and situ- ations, portentous camera place- ment - that we've been conditioned to hoot at in cheap horror movies. This is a film in which the line, 'This is getting ridiculous!" is actually funny, and is meant to be, because it under- states the obvious. "The Signal" has a spirit of casual elan, as if a few mildly buzzed buddies had tossed around some ideas for a fun exploitation picture one night - maybe after the cable went out in the middle of a game - and then persuaded some more friends to hang out with them and shoot it over spare evenings and weekends. This is a compli- ment. So, the story is that there's this woman who's cheating on her pathologically jealous hus- band. Also, TVs and phones have stopped working properly. And lots of people are going homicidally berserk. One charac- ter estimates that "one out of every two people" are impulsive- ly murdering the other one out of every two. Do the math - even for Terminus the odds are not good. "Rational behavior has given way to primordial action!" some- body exclaims by way of insuffi- cient explanation. (He re-phrases the gist of that statement about The Signal Ben Justin Welborn Lewis Denton A.J. Bowen Clark Scott Poythress Mya Denton Anessa Ramsey Rod Sahr Ngaujah Anna Cheri Christian Jim Parsons Chad McKnight Written, directed and edited by: David Bruckner, Dan Bush and Jacob Gentry Produced by: Jacob Gentry and Alexander Motlagh Running time: 101 minutes Classified: R (for strong bru- tal bloody violence throughout, pervasive language and brief nudity) 12 different ways, and they're all funny.) But what's causing this? Surely the culprit is, well, right there in the title, prompting a lady to reflect on the fate of the husband she's just killed: "The TV must've got into his head and made him go bad." It's a metaphor, natch, a cheeky commentary on the role of television in spreading terror- ism and the fear of terrorism; promoting lies and propaganda that inflame feelings of rage and paranoia in the population; implanting nasty images in peo- ple's heads that blind them to everything else; convincing them that others stand between them- selves and "happiness"; persuad- ing them not just to kill, but to feel that killing is the right and only choice. That dimension is not very funny. But it's scary. Jim Emerson, editor of rogere bert. corn, is filling in for Roger Ebert as he recovers from surgery. undead return to stalk the Earth. This is the fifth of George A. Romero's "Living Dead" movies, and once again he mixes horror and socio-political satire - this time in the form of a website doc about post-9/11 paranoia and zombies who bite in the night. Rating: *** (Jim Emerson) Jumper (Sci fiadventure. PG-13. 88minutes) Hayden Christensen can "jump" anywhere anytime. Samuel L. Jackson wants to kill him. In Giza and New York and London and Paris and Rome and Tokyo and Ann Arbor. There are no rules. There is no plot. A series of random events occur. Sometimes they're so silly they make you laugh. Most of the time you'd rather be any- where else. Rating: * X.

Co- starring Hope Davis, Kat Dennings and Robert Downey Jr., dominating every scene he's in as the drunken school princi- pal. Rating: ** Y (Jim Emerson) Definitely, Maybe (Romantic comedy. PG 13. 105 minutes) As the lead in director Adam Brooks' bittersweet romantic comedy, Ryan Reynolds finally steps into a charming, vulnerable character that perfectly fits his comedic talents. He plays Will Hayes, a thirty-something adver- tising whiz who agrees to tell his 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), about the women he dated before her mom, but he changes the names and Maya must guess which one is her mother. With Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz as the women in his life. Rating: *** (Mary Houlihan) GeorgeA Romero's Diary ofthe Dead (Horror.

Your Local Cable TV Providers BLACK FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008/News-Leader TELEVISION 3B Estate the "New World Winery of the Year" in 2006. The 9,000-acre estate, snug between the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland mountains some 30 miles from Cape Town, is ideal for viniculture as it has a prolonged growing season that allows grapes to develop a full flavor. Now a historic landmark, Vergelegen (pro- nounced Fair'-huleg-hen and meaning "situated far away") has a history that goes back to the Dutch col- onization of 1700. It is considered one of the environ- mental jewels of South Africa. It was acquired by the Anglo American Corporation, world renowned for precious metals industries and De Beers Diamonds, some 20 years ago. Anglo-American, unlike other corporations, has kept hands off the winery, although the estate has become a frequent meeting place for world leaders. Vergelegen played a role in the efforts to build a new South Africa. In 1991, soon after Nelson Mandela's release from prison, the homestead hosted the recently unbanned African National Congress for a crucial executive meeting - beginning a relationship with Mandela, who was to become South Africa's president three years later. Vergelegen's recent history includes the state receptions for President Clinton, Queen Elizabeth II and other European royalty, as well as many other leaders from around the world. You can buy this piece of South African history, for a short time, at Amelia Liquors for $13. Robert Weintraub writes on wine monthly. He can be reached at rweintraub@bellsouth.net.

There are notes of plum, black pep- per and a soft note of vanilla. The barrel ferment technique makes the wine fruit-forward, with sweet, ripe tannins. It has a long finish and silky mouth feel. This wine's best years are from two years of age to seven, which means the 2003 vintage is at its prime right now. Another find at Amelia Liquors is a South African sauvignon blanc from the famous Vergelegen estate. This 2004 bottling is truly a different SB, and a standout. It has a nose that jumps out of the glass - gooseberries, fig, elderflower, some ripe fruits, cut grass and green pepper. The wine is full, intensely flavored and very long on aftertaste. The grapes are selected from Vergelegen's own vineyards in Somerset West, plus from selected vine- yards on the West Coast near the town of Koekenaap, a blend of 90 percent sauvignon blanc, 10 percent semillon. The grapes are skinned quickly (the vintner contends skin contact leads to coarse wines), the juice settled for 72 hours at low tempera- tures before inoculation with the desired yeast strain for sauvignon grapes. Another non-traditional tech- nique used for this wine is fermentation at higher temperatures than normal. This leads to fuller, big- ger and more intensely flavored wine, the vintner says, and the actual drinking experience proves them right.
