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

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."

Schools

evolution


'theory'

GLENDA S. 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.

Student finds 'new language,


new friends, new life' in U.S.


GLENDA S. JENKINS
News Leader
Some phrases are distinctly
American.
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.
More than Kevyn's accent has
changed since arriving in the U.S.

"My idea of United States was what
I saw in the movie," he wrote via
email. "I didn't know really how
United States was. In fact, I dis-
covered almost everything when I
arrived here."
He has learned that not every-
one has a large house. 'There are
also a lot of people who live in small
houses and who don't have a lot of
money."
And body types also vary more
than he realized. He thought that
"almost everyone was fat because
people don't eat very healthy here.
It is a little bit true but there are less
fat people than what I was think-
ing," Kevyn wrote.

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."

They went through boxes of
records already placed in a coun-
ty storage facility, assisted by the
county's records specialist
Debbie Moody, and did not find
certain missing records. Moody


confirmed that in a story on page

he misunderstood information
relayed to him and inadvertently
provided inaccurate information
in that story.

"Do not let one individual

local Sierra Club activist. "You
have to make a line in the sand

Resident Joe Willey, one of the

In Belgium he would have

Belgium, located in Western
Europe, borders the North Sea,

Belgium, officially the Kingdom

communities separated by a lan-

In the French-speaking south-

The northern region, Flanders, is
"more capitalist" where Flemish, a

Kavanaugh also spoke briefly,
opening with, "I'm Clinch
Kavanaugh and I'm the devil in

situation remained unresolved, he
said. "They were talking maybe to

Ultimately, the two regions

The Rotary Club of Fernandina
Beach is the sponsor club that
brought Kevyn to Amelia Island
through Rotary International. Club
president Jennifer Towles and
Furman Clark arranged Kevyn's
visit to Amelia Island.
Sponsoring inbound and out-

them become more culturally
diverse and, as more students "actu-

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.

Fernandina Beach Commis-
sioners voted unanimously
Tuesday to designate Egans Creek
Greenway a "stand-alone basin"
within the Northeast District of the
St. Johns River Water Management
District.
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

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

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.

Slay seeks election



to sheriff's office


Carlos E. 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 seeks Port Authority seat


Peter 0. 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

There are five port commis-
sioners. Three seats are to be decid-
ed this year in the Nov. 4 general
election.

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.

possession of cocaine and posses-

Seagraves, who is personally
acquainted with Davis, said. "... He
was crying, very upset and cry-

"I told him, 'I know you, and
I'm not scared of you, but the pub-

added. "He said he understood,

Davis, currently in custody at

including battery on a law enforce-

Here's a vision for Hilliard:



more services, no sprawl


KATHIE COLGROVE
Community Newspapers


Hilliard residents have no desire to see urban
sprawl spoil their country living.
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."

What they said in Yulee:



'Traffic is out of control'


GLENDA S. 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."

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.

You know how people can
imply that you're an imbecile by

that a co-worker had found Code

days to realize that even she had
had to look it up!)
We turned to the appropriate

when I named her the Witch of

lady, for your help. COATT-4 is
very long and very complicated.

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.

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.

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."

"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

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

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.

The other celebration brought on
the surprise for Evans Jones, who
thought he was attending a communi-

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

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.

Center E-mail him at rgoy@living

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,

or jasmine,
grows well
in Florida,
- . 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.

Association for Retarded Citizens board member Louis Jordon
is shown here with son Louis Jordon Jr., left, and Jimmy
Thomas as they plant a tree in memory of former ARC board
member Freddie Johnson.


HEATHER A. PERRY

"Louis Jordon is a man of his
word," said Association for
Retarded Citizens Executive
Director Adrienne Talbert.
"Both he and his wife show com-
mitment to the agency through
community involvement and active-
ly participating with us. He is very
dedicated and passionate."
Talbert said Jordan influences
not just his co-workers, but also
each member of the community to
learn more about what individuals
with disabilities can do rather than
focus on what they cannot do.
A board member for more than
two years, Jordon volunteers regu-
larly to cut the grass, maintain the
building and assist with fundraising
through encouraging others to get
involved.
Employed byJEA for the past 22
years, Jordon established the

15 SJRPP employees contributed
two days of work for various proj-
ects on the ARC campus.
"The best thing about the Day of
Caring is watching the interaction
between the individuals we serve at
ARC and the volunteers," said
Talbert.
"Each learns from each other
in a major way that we are all impor-
tant and bring a certain talent to
the world through caring for others
and volunteering time and talents."
Jordon spends his leisure time
fishing with his grandsons and "just
being a papa." Jordon shares his

Geneva. They have three sons,
Louis, Brian and Desmond.

NOW Continued from 8A
close with Rose to give their father
a great celebration. Another
daughter, Laura E. 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.

YMCA's, McArthur and Hilliard,
celebrated their Share the Y
Kickoff at the Journey Church with
Olympic fan-fair.
Children from the Emma Love
Hardee Elementary PrYme Time
after school program sang the
national anthem. The challenger
sports program, which provides
athletic programs for the mentally
disabled, was also highlighted
when the basketball team was
awarded gold medals. The event
signified the start of the annual
Share the Y campaign, which aims
at providing family programming
and membership to anyone regard-
less of their ability to pay.
Nassau County has many Share
the Y success stories but Darian
Thomas' is one that truly stands
out. Through gifts from the Share
the Y Campaign, Thomas is able to
attend YMCA PrYme Time after
school care and that makes his
grandma, Sherry Thomas, grate-
ful. Sherry Thomas begins her

"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.

Exercise

and energy
F or some time, I have
wondered about a
way to harvest the
energy expended at a
health club. 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.

PIRATES AT PLAY

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.

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.

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. LIP Andy Bowles (LIP) and
Bradley Manning (RH) round a deep pitching
staff. Spencer Hippe provides depth at first
base."

Freshman Katie McElhaugh got the win.
She went three innings, striking out two and
allowing two runs. 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."
The Lady Pirates lost their two preseason
games and lost to Fletcher, Stanton, Baker

BETH JONES
News-Leader
The Yulee Hornets are perfect
on the season at 3-0 and are 2-0 in
the district with recent wins over
Bishop Snyder and Baldwin.
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 Hornets travel today to

"It was 1-0, but we did stupid

The Lady Hornets' two wins

bottom hook of your double
Terry Lacoss rig.
. .. *** - This weekend small boats
ON THE may try KBY or Schultz's Fish
Market; both are located within
WATER five miles offshore and accessi-
ble by small boats.
I went bass fishing last weekend in a small lake
and did not see any bedding activity for largemouth
bass. 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. With this in
mind, expect a big spawn to happen during the next
few weeks.
The Little St. Marys River, Boggy Creek and the
deep waters of Lofton Creek should hold some
excellent pre-spawn bass fishing. 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. The high falling
tide offers clear water conditions and the best bite
for what many fishermen claim is the best eating
fish from the surf.
Surf fishermen sill have a perfect tide this week-
end with a high tide arriving at 10:15 a.m.
The News-Leader encourages local anglers to sub-
mit photographs of catches. E-mail photos to

PHOTOS COURTESY OF CAROL BECK


'Intution Illuminated'


at airportgallern


For the News Leader

Local artist and intuition
teacher, Carol Beck, is
exhibiting in the
Jacksonville International
Airport Haskell Gallery and Art
Kiosks through March 31.
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

At long last


- a notable


shiraz

ROBERT M. 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.

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. With the voices (and
sometimes the appearances) of
Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie,
John Malkovich, Robin Wright
Penn, Brendan Gleeson and

Crispin Glover (who doesn't look
anything like Grendel). 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

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

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.

This is the fifth of George A.

Samuel L. Jackson wants to kill

There are no rules. There is no

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.

WINE Continued from 1B
McLaren Vale fruit characters for shiraz are
spicy and rich. 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.
Wine Enthusiast Magazine named the Vergelegen
