Cruise

MICHAEL PARNELL
News Leader
It may be wishful thinking, but city
officials have entertained the notion of
having a cruise ship terminal on the
north end of Amelia Island.
That would depend on Jaxport or
the city of Jacksonville giving up on
locating a terminal at Mayport because
of public opposition there.
Public opposition also could be
expected here - at least two city com-


ship te

missioners have discouraged the idea
- but the mayor hails the possibility as
a major economic boost for
Fernandina Beach and Nassau County.
"People's major objection is that
cruise ships don't bring in business....
But that's not true," Fernandina Beach
Mayor Bruce Malcolm said.
"It would have an enormous effect
on the downtown," he said.
Three island sites have been men-
tioned for a cruise ship terminal - the
Port of Fernandina, the former pogy


rminal on island?


plant adjacent to Fort Clinch State
Park and Smurfit-Stone Container
Corp. property.
Malcolm admitted that a cruise
ship terminal here may be "in the
realm of fantasy right now."
Nassau County Commissioner
Mike Boyle, a member of the Tourist
Development Council, described the
prospect as "fanciful."
"About a month ago, I heard a
rumor that if the plans for a cruise
terminal in Mayport fell apart, that


they might consider Fernandina
Beach. I don't think there's much
chance of that happening," he said.
"I said to the person telling me,
This sounds like leverage to try to
get the Duval people to pass the
Mayport thing,' because there's many,
many obstacles in Fernandina Beach
that would make it impractical."
'There were no details, and that's
why I didn't give it a lot of credibility,"


It would
have an
enormous
effect on the
downtown,'

What's the vision for Nassau?


Tourism, parks, health, jobs?


RYAN SMITH
AMANDA BISHOP
Community Newspapers


Promoting tourism may be a top
priority for city and county officials,
especially on the island, but county
residents' concerns focus more on
the need for parks, recreation, edu-
cation, health care and employment.
Though tourism is Nassau
County's largest industry, it did not top
area residents' concerns, according
to a draft of the final Vision 2032
report.
The county's visioning process is
nearing completion, according to
Growth Management Director Walter
Fufidio. The Vision 2032 steering com-
mittee, which began holding public
meetings last February, will present a
final report to the county commission
early this year, said Fufidio, who also
serves as the committee's chairman.
"We're still taking comments from
individual (steering committee) mem-
bers and also reaching out to our
(Amelia Island-Fernandina Beach-
Yulee Chamber of Commerce) part-
ners to get their input. We're giving all
this to (vision consulting firm) MGT
of America, and they'll be submitting
the second-draft final report," Fufidio
said.
"The steering committee had
requested this matter to be on the
(county commission) agenda for Jan.
26," he added. "If we do not make that


Fernandina Beach is a vacation spot to
me. It's as much a vacation spot to me
as somewhere in North Dakota.'

agenda because of the lead time and
the desire to get everybody's com-
ments, then we'll have it on the agen-
da in early February."
Fufidio said the Vision 2032 project
aimed to find out where Nassau
County was, where it wanted to be
and how to get there. Steering com-
mittee members and county residents
identified several areas where they
would like to see the county progress,
he added.
Two such areas were education
and health care. "Regarding educa-
tion, I think it was recognized that
there needs to be a cooperative effort
between the school board, (Florida
Community College at Jacksonville)
and the Economic Development
Board to identify needs and training
programs," he said. "There was also a
strong message sent to us that Nassau
County supports an additional hospi-
tal west of 1-95."
Fufidio added that county residents
also felt that parkland was a priority for
the future. "There was also a recog-
nition that (we need) to acquire recre-


ation and open space while we're still
growing, because it's the only realis-
tic time to do it," he said. "It's a lot
more expensive to do it as you get
toward the build-out."
Malcolm Noden, a member of the
Vision 2032 Steering Committee,
noted that tourism has a major impact
on Nassau County during a committee
meeting Dec. 17. According to the
draft report, 21 percent of the county's
economy is driven by the tourism
industry.
However, many residents who
offered their insight at the Vision
2032's public involvement meetings
see other areas of need as those more
crucial to address. More parks, bike
trails and other recreational areas,
businesses that provide entertain-
ment, such as movie theaters, more
public pools and upgraded infra-
structure were some of the top items
listed by citizens at a Feb. 19 public
involvement meeting in Hilliard.

City reaps $100K



from eBay sales


ANGELA DAUGHTRY
News-Leader
Fernandina Beach has made more
than $100,000 since March 2007 from
eBay sales of surplus vehicles and
other items, according to records from
the city's Fleet Maintenance
Department. More than 30 used vehi-
cles were sold during that time period.
Those vehicles range from Ford
Crown Victorias used by the police
department to full-sized dump trucks
used by city maintenance workers.
The city's fleet also includes vehicles
such as golf carts and tractors, which
are also sold at auction when their


mechanical condition requires more
upkeep than is worthwhile.
Jeremiah Glisson, fleet maintenance
director, is in charge of putting the sur-
plus vehicles on eBay for auction. Most
of the city vehicles that end up on eBay
are listed in "poor" condition.
For example, a 1990 Ford F-150
pickup truck with 125,000 miles sold
for $1,325; a 1990 Jeep Cherokee SUV
with 98,000 miles sold for $1,576; a
1989 Chevrolet C1500 pickup truck
with 129,000 miles sold for $886.
A 1983 Ford L8000 dump truck with
180,000 miles sold for $2,950; a 2002

City says no to


more alcohol sales


ANGELA DAUGHTRY
News-Leader
After debate from Commissioner
Eric Childers and others, Fernandina
Beach Commissioners voted down a
city code amendment that would have
expanded alcohol sales on city prop-
erty.
Both Mayor Bruce Malcolm and
Commissioner Susan Steger said they
came to the meeting with ambivalent
feelings about the new policy - but in
the end, both voted to keep city facil-
ities alcohol-free, as did Commissioner
Ron Sapp, who was adamantly
opposed to the idea.
The amendment came to commis-
sioners in conjunction with a number
of special events permit changes. It
would have allowed alcoholic drinks to
be served during parties at city recre-
ational facilities including the Peck
Community Center, the Martin Luther
King Jr. Center and the Atlantic
Avenue Recreation Center.
Sapp was adamantly against serv-
ing alcohol at city venues, arguing that
the city had tried for many years to
keep Fernandina Beach a "family-ori-
ented" place, and that allowing alcohol
at its facilities would send the wrong
message to young people.
Childers countered that serving
alcohol at special events was "a neces-
sity, especially in these economic
times." He said the city should be try-
ing to attract a different demographic,
such as baby boomers, DINKs (dou-
ble-income, no kids), empty nesters
and generation Xers. He also noted
that many "every-day folks" can't
afford to have their events at venues
like The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island,
and the city could provide some serv-
ice to them.
"It's archaic that you can't serve
alcohol for a family reunion at the Peck
Center," said Childers.
Lt. Bill Leeper of the Florida
Highway Patrol, who is also a former
mayor, said at the meeting that he was
opposed to allowing alcoholic bever-
ages on city property. He said he
would not like to see the troubles of
the 1970s return, and that any fees


Childers Sapp


received by the city would not be
worth the related problems caused by
the consumption of alcohol.
Leeper also noted that city taxpay-
ers would be better served by reduc-
ing the cost of government, and that
too many people have been injured or
killed by drunk drivers.
"I won't talk about some of the
things I've seen as a result of drinking
and driving," said Leeper. "We don't
need the liability."
Steger said she was "torn on the
issue" and asked if the amendment
could have a time limit or a "testing
phase" to see if serving alcohol at city
venues caused more problems. "I want
to be able to pull the plug if there are
issues," she said.
Gil Langley, president & CEO of
the Amelia Island Convention and
Visitors Bureau, said there are many
people in the community who are
budget-conscious, and that the num-
ber of private facilities that can be used
for events is limited.
"We think this would be a good
move to attract tourism at a time when
we need it most," said Langley.
Harry Krix, owner of Last Flight
Out on Centre Street and a member of
the Tourist Development Council, said
he shared Steger's and Leeper's con-
cerns. Some people on the TDC, he
said, were also "dead-set against" serv-
ing alcohol on city property. But, he
added, the amendment was not going
to "turn the streets into a Bacchanalian
carnival."
"I'm strongly behind no open con-
tainers or widespread alcohol use,"
said Krix, but said he thought the city

Study. Lean, fit men lower heart failure risk


For the News Leader

Staying lean and fit can dra-
matically lower the risk of
heart failure in men,
researchers report in
Circulation: Journal of the
American Heart Association.
In the Physicians' Health
Study, researchers from the
Brigham and Women's
Hospital in Boston, followed
21,094 U.S. male physicians,
40 to 84 years old, for 20 years
and found:
* Lean and active men had
the lowest risk for heart fail-
ure and obese and inactive
men had the highest risk.
* After adjusting for risk
factors such as high blood
pressure, diabetes and high
cholesterol, the risk of heart
failure increased by 49 per-
cent in overweight men and
180 percent in obese men.
* Any amount of vigorous
physical activity that caused
sweating, ranging from a low
of one to three times a month
to a high of five to seven times
a week, was associated with
an 18 percent reduction in
heart failure risk, after adjust-
ing for other known causes.
* Compared with men who
rarely or never vigorously
exercised, men engaging in
vigorous physical activity five
to seven times a week had a
36 percent reduction in heart
failure risk.
* Compared with partici-
pants who were lean and
active, the risk of heart failure


increased
19 percent
in the lean
S and inac-
tive; 49
percent in
the over-
weight and
active; 78 percent in the over-
weight and inactive; 168 per-
cent in the obese and active;
and 293 percent in the obese
and inactive.
"Whereas previous studies
have established that obese
men have a higher likelihood
of developing heart failure,
the present investigation has
extended this knowledge by
pointing out that even over-
weight or pre-obese men are
not spared from this increased
risk," said Satish Kenchaiah,
M.D., M.PH., lead author of
the study and investigator at
the Physicians' Health Study,
Brigham and Women's
Hospital. "On average, in men
who are 5 feet, 10 inches tall,
for every 7 pounds of excess
body weight, the risk of heart
failure will go up by 11 per-
cent over the next 20 years"
The study took place from
1982 to 2007, and participants
completed questionnaires
about demographics, lifestyle
and medical history twice in
the first year and annually
thereafter. The physicians
reported height and weight,
which was used to calculate
body mass index (BMD).
Men with BMI less than 25
were considered lean, 25 to


29.9 was overweight, and
greater than 30 was obese.
Physical activity was based on
activity that worked up a
sweat with options of rarely/
never, one to three times a
month, once a week, two to
four times a week, five to six
times a week or daily. Men
who said they rarely/never
exercised were considered
inactive. Those who said they
exercised one to three times a
month were considered active.
About 40 percent of the
participants were overweight
and about 5 percent were
obese at baseline. A greater
proportion of obese men exer-
cised less. Participants who
rarely or never exercised were
older, had higher BMI,
smoked cigarettes more often
and had a greater prevalence
of high blood pressure and
diabetes. During follow-up,
1,109 of 21,094 physicians
developed heart failure.
"Another interesting find-
ing of our study is that BMI
and vigorous physical activity
did not influence each other's
effect on the risk of heart fail-
ure," Kenchaiah said. "Higher
BMI increased the risk of
heart failure in inactive as well
as active individuals. By the
same token, the beneficial
effect of vigorous physical
activity in reducing the risk of
heart failure was observed in
lean, overweight, and also
obese men."
About 67 percent of
Americans have excess body


weight and only about 30 per-
cent exercise regularly, he
said. "Each year about 660,000
Americans are newly diag-
nosed with heart failure.
Once heart failure devel-
ops, the quality of life deterio-
rates, and about 80 percent of
the men and 70 percent of the
women older than 65 years
with heart failure die within
eight years.
About 1 million hospitaliza-
tions and 3 million outpatient
and emergency visits are
attributed to heart failure in
the United States each year,
with estimated costs for 2008
at $35 billion, he said.
"Adopting a healthy
lifestyle, keeping a normal
weight and exercising regular-
ly will go a long way toward
reducing one's risk of heart
failure," Kenchaiah said.
The National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute and the
National Cancer Institute,
both part of the National
Institutes of Health funded the
study.
The American Heart
Association's national cam-
paign, Start!, calls on all
Americans to incorporate regu-
lar physical activity into their
daily lives. Through active,
year-round participation in
walking, Start! supports the
mission of the American Heart
Association to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease and
stroke. To learn more, call 1-

"I think there's been some

haven't talked to anybody from
Jaxport," said Gil Langley, pres-

of specific conversations with
Jacksonville officials about it.
"I don't know of any formal con-

Steve Reich, executive direc-

officially about any project like
that." He said he would wait to

were not suggested.
'Tourism is the driving force
right now, but will it be for the
next 25 years?" questioned
Gene Bennett. "People are clear-
ly not interested in keeping (the
driving force) as tourism. I firm-
ly believe (the West Side) will
become the economic force of
Nassau County."
Bennett added that develop-
ment in Clay and Baker coun-
ties, as well as at the Cecil Field
complex in Duval County, would
directly impact western Nassau.
Bill Moore works in the
tourism industry and said the
county's future focus will deter-
mine whether tourism contin-
ues to be the major industry.
"It's probably not going to
be in the future, because what
attracts tourists doesn't attract

nesses," he said.
Dean Woehrle pointed out
that when new highways are

focus.

was broached with him at a
meeting in St. Augustine about
a month ago where he was told
there was "a rumor going
around" about a possible cruise
ship terminal at the Port of
Fernandina.
Malcolm said he mentioned
the conversation to City
Manager Michael Czymbor the
next morning. He said as far as
he knows, nobody at City Hall
has been in contact with
Jacksonville or Jaxport officials
about locating a cruise terminal
in Fernandina Beach.
The matter came up
Tuesday at the city commission
meeting when Commissioner
Ron Sapp said he discussed the
matter with Czymbor.
Czymbor told commission-
ers alternative sites to Mayport
included the Port of
Fernandina, the former pogy
plant and property at Smurfit-
Stone Container Corp.
Sapp has concerns, and
Commissioner Susan Steger
"encouraged the city manager
to be discouraging about the
cruise ship" locating here.
Jacksonville city officials are
expected to vote Jan. 27 on
locating a new $60 million ter-
minal in Mayport. The present
cruise terminal on the St. Johns
River will be part of Hanjin
Shipping Co.'s new container



crowded in the space around
the exits. ... That same growth
is coming to the West Side," he
said.
Woehrle said tourism isn't
as widely noticed on the West
Side because it primarily occurs
on the island.
'To us, that's as much a vaca-
tion spot as anywhere else," he
said. "As a East Boulougne cit-
izen, Fernandina Beach is a
vacation spot to me. It's as much
a vacation spot to me as some-
where in North Dakota."
Though tourism doesn't
occur much on the West Side,
Callahan Mayor Shirley Graham
said tourism is important to
West Side residents.
"A great majority of the
employees that these resorts
have come from the West Side,"
she said.
Fufidio said last week that
residents also have stressed that


terminal, requiring the move to
be completed by mid-2010.
But the Mayport Civic
Association on Monday reject-
ed the terms of a proposed set-
tlement offered by Jaxport to
settle a lawsuit challenging con-
struction of the cruise ship ter-
minal in the historic fishing vil-
lage.
The settlement was reject-
ed because of unresolved con-
cerns over shore power sources
and compatibility with the vil-
lage's shrimping and fishing
industry, said Michelle Baldwin,
president of the association.
"A terminal, with all its pol-
lution, environmental damage,
crime and Homeland Security
issues, simply cannot be placed
right in the middle of a resi-
dential neighborhood," Baldwin
said.
The cruise industry has
expanded in Jacksonville.
Carnival Cruise Lines replaced
the 1,486-passenger Celebration
with the 2,052-passenger
Fascination last year. A 2006

Ford Crown Victoria with
104,000 miles sold for $2,469;
and a 1990 Ford L8000 dump
truck with 96,000 miles sold

Glisson noted that some
vehicles with lower mileage -
such as a 1995 Jeep Cherokee
SUVwith 60,000 miles that sold
for $2,576 - were put up for
auction because they had prob-
lems like rust or transmission
failure. The 1995 Jeep
Cherokee had been used as a
beach vehicle, which caused it
to sustain severe rusting.
A 2001 F-550 service truck
with 76,873 miles that was in a
moderate to severe accident
sold on eBay for $6,300.
Glisson said the city's finan-
cial return since using eBay
has been 400 to 500 percent
higher than the former sealed-
bid process.
The city bases its surplus-
vehicle sales on a "life cost
analysis." According to the
city's fleet management policy,
"the optimum time to replace a
vehicle is when its total costs,
averaged over the vehicle's life-
time, are at a minimum."
Mileage is the primary replace-

of the vehicle are also factors.

the city manager's 2006 Ford

The city also has a stan-

means that the city strives for

Navy training stirs concerns of whale advocates


SUSAN RESPESS
Community Newspapers


The U. S. Navy's proposed
sonar training range off the
Georgia and Florida coasts
won't impact the endangered
North Atlantic right whale
as much as first thought, a
Georgia wildlife biologist said
Tuesday.
The federally protected
northern right whale's only
known calving ground is off the
coasts of Georgia and Northeast
Florida from Nov. 15 to April
15. They bear and care for their
young as close as 500 yards
from shore to a distance of
about 30 miles offshore.
"Our initial concern is that
the Navy avoid that area dur-
ing calving season," said Clay
George, a wildlife biologist spe-
cializing in the right whale and
other marine life for the Georgia
Department of Natural
Resources in Brunswick, Ga.
"We expected that that is not
something the Navy would vol-
untarily abide by. But we were
encouraged when they provid-


ed us with additional informa-
tion on sonar training that was
not in the draft environmental
impact statement."
"They told us a very small
percentage of their training
would be in that area - only 1
percent," George said. "They
are going into the channel and
navigating - training they would
have to do - and we thought
that was reasonable. That
allayed our concerns consider-
ably."
George is hoping for a con-
tinued steady comeback of the
right whale, which numbers
between 300 and 400. Already,
with three months to go in the
season, 16 calves have been
sighted by scientists in an area
from South Carolina to Florida,
he said.
"That is shaping up to be a
pretty good year. The record
year was 31 calves in 2000,"
George said.
The Navy is preparing final
environmental impact state-
ments on a series of training
proposals that would affect the
East, West and Gulf coasts of


the United States. In the
Southeast, the Navy is propos-
ing a 500-square-mile range
about 50 miles off Florida and
Georgia for undersea warfare
training.
The main concerns are the
potential for ship strikes that
could injure or kill the whales
and sonar testing that could
alter the behavior of the whales
and other marine life.
There are National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administra-
tion (NOAA) rules that require
ships to lower speeds to 10
knots through calving grounds
but military vessels are exclud-
ed.
"We recognize that Navy ves-
sel speed in warfare is neces-
sary, but in training we would
like to see those vessels slow,"
George said.


Navy ships post lookouts to
sight whales, but George said
he knows that the behavior of
right whales in calving season
makes them hard to spot. They
move more slowly and they
often travel just below the water
surface.
"I was out yesterday getting
some hydrophone recordings
of whales in the St. Marys
Channel, and there was a sub-
marine off shore doing maneu-
vers," George said. "It would
have been very hard for them to
know the whales were there."
Environmental activists are
critical of the Navy training pro-
posals, pointing out the possi-
bility of ship strikes, sonar noise
that may cause whale strand-
ings on beaches, and entangle-
ments in gear.
The Southern Environmen-

Georgia and Northeast Florida.


tal Law Center, representing
several groups, including the
Georgia Conservancy, the
Georgia chapter of the Sierra
Club and the Florida Wildlife
Federation, officially respond-
ed to the Navy proposals.
"While no one wants to stand
in the way of national defense,
we must make sure that this
project has as little environ-
mental impact as possible, and
the current proposal falls
far short of that goal," Catherine
Wannamaker, law center
staff attorney, said in a news
release.
The law center said that
Navy ships from Kings Bay and
Jacksonville would be passing
through the critical calving habi-
tat of the right whales to reach
the training ground. And the
effect of sonar on marine mam-
mals, sea turtles and fish is not
known.
Frank Quinby, chairman of
the board of St. Marys
Earthkeepers, said the activist
group has not responded to the
Navy proposal, though individ-

Research has shown that the

FRIDAY, January 9,2009 NEWS News-Leader


'Taps'

H ow ironic is it that
my first article for
the new year is
about the past, and
what a memorable 366 days it
has been. I've chosen the
theme "Taps - the final
salute" for this article, but
first let me reminisce just a
bit.
For my New Year's resolu-
tion last year I vowed to get
more
involved in
my commu-
nity and to V
use my past
military
experiences
for a better
purpose.
2008 was
definitely a VETERAN'S
year of
many firsts, CORNER
some sad - ...
and yet Debbie
many more
happy times Walsh
to remem-
ber. It was the first year my
column was carried on a regu-
lar basis by the News-Leader
and the first time I truly felt
my writing contributions
meant something worthwhile.
My coverage about histori-
cal military events, organiza-
tions supporting veterans and
their families, the not so invis-
ible veteran - the female sol-
dier - hopefully opened the
eyes of readers to new infor-
mation. Articles about the
Purple Heart Trail,
POW/MIA Day, along with
coverage of Veterans Day and
the new VA cemetery all had
me receiving a steady stream
of accolades from readers.
Throughout the year I was
contacted by individuals and
organizations promoting
many veterans-related issues,
some of which I never knew
existed. I interviewed a sur-
vivor of the Battle of the
Bulge, communicated with a
participant of the World War
II Honor Air Program and was
contacted by the Amelia
Island Museum of History
regarding their Veterans
History Project.
Editor and reader feed-
back has been stupendous
and has opened the door to
more prospective subjects,
which I hope to expand upon
during the coming year.
This past year I saw my
first-born get hitched and I
welcomed my first daughter-


- the final salute


in-law into the folds of the
Walsh clan. Because of that
event, it was the first time in
four years I'd ventured a
return to my previous home
of over 20 years. I thought for
sure seeing old friends, meet-
ing new relatives and visiting
the favorite hotspots would
surely make the tears flow,
but ironically that homesick
factor never kicked in.
What did kick in was the
fact that my Dad was not
there to share in my joy. Since
his passing in December
2007, he didn't get to see fire-
works on July 4, partake in a
family feast at Thanksgiving
or open a gift this past
Christmas. He wouldn't be
present to witness future mile-
stones achieved by his grand-
kids or see great-grandchil-
dren blossom into maturity.
So for him and others who
have gone to that better
world, this story about the
history of Taps is dedicated to
them.
The 24-note melancholy
bugle call known as "Taps" is
thought to be a revision of a
French bugle signa, called
"Tattoo" notifying soldiers to
cease the evening's drinking
and return to their garrisons.
It was sounded an hour
before the final bugle call to
end the day by extinguishing
fires and lights.
Of all the military bugle
calls, Taps is most eloquent of
melodies, easily recognized
and apt to render significant
emotion when heard. In the
British Army, a similar call
known as "Last Post" has
been sounded over soldiers'
graves since 1885, but the use
of Taps by the U.S. military is
unique since the bugle call is
soulfully sounded at funerals,
wreath-laying events and
memorial services.
Taps and how it originated
has been thoroughly
researched by Jari Villanueva,
a bugler, bugle historian, past
curator of the Taps Bugle
Exhibit and someone consid-
ered the country's foremost
authority on the bugle call of
Taps. That research shows us
the present-day Taps was
developed during the Civil
War by Union Gen. Daniel
Adams Butterfield. Up to that
time, the Army's infantry call
to end the day was the
French, "L'Extinction des
feux."
Gen. Butterfield decided


the "lights out" music was too
formal to signal day's end and
in 1862 he hummed a version,
asking brigade bugler Oliver
Norton to play the notes. He
liked what Norton had devel-
oped and ordered him to play
it at the end of each day there-
after. The music was heard by
other brigades, who asked for
copies, and they too adopted
the new, revised bugle call.
This music was made the offi-
cial Army bugle call after the
war, but not given the name
Taps until 1874.
Some may still wonder,
"How did it become associat-
ed with funerals?"
One version of its begin-
ning includes a popular belief
involving a northern boy who
was killed fighting for the
South during the Civil War.
His father, a captain in the
Union Army, came upon his
son's dead body on the battle-
field and found the notes to
Taps in the pocket of his
Confederate uniform. When a
Union general heard the
story, he had the notes played
at the boy's funeral.
However, Villanueva's
extensive research shows the
first use of Taps at a military
funeral was during the 1862
Peninsular Campaign in
Virginia. During that cam-
paign a Union cannoneer was
killed in action under the
command of Capt. John
Tidball. Since the enemy was
close, Tidball worried the tra-


ditional three-volley salute
normally given during mili-
tary funerals might give away
his concealed advanced posi-
tion. Instead of shots fired, he
ordered the playing of Taps to
honor the lost soldier.
Taps was also played at
the funeral of Confederate
Gen. Stonewall Jackson ten
months after it was com-
posed, thus the custom of
Taps originated.
The earliest official refer-
ence to the use of Taps at mil-
itary funerals is found in the
1891 U.S. Army Infantry Drill
Regulations and it is now
played by all branches of the
armed forces at burials and
memorial services. It also
accompanies the lowering of
the flag to signal the "lights
out" command at the end of
the military workday.
As we move into 2009,
more loved ones will succumb
and fall victim to this normal
life cycle, death. When the
unfortunate happens, whether
they are military or civilian,
maybe you too will envision
those emotional sounds of the
famed Taps and feel peace,
knowing the deceased's lega-
cy and a tradition lives on.

First burial at VA



cemetery in Jax


JACKSONVILLLE - The
Jacksonville VA National
Cemetery buried its first eight
veterans Wednesday, culmi-
nating an effort since 2003 to
bring a national VA cemetery
to Northeast Florida.
Congressman Ander
Crenshaw, who helped cham-
pion the effort and lead the
fight to secure funding for the
project, said, "Honoring the
brave men and women who
served a grateful nation has
always been a top priority of
mine. I worked hard to see
this sacred ground become
reality because I believe
that all our veterans deserve a
final resting place that is wor-
thy of their service and sacri-
fice."
He added, "This national
cemetery has been a dream
of mine since I first went to
Congress. It has been a long,
hard road, but it has been
worth every effort. Today
we've seen firsthand
Northeast Florida's veterans


receive the
honor they
so richly
deserve."
In Nov-
ember 2003,
Congress
passed H.R.
1516 which
Crenshaw authorized
the Jack-
sonville
National Cemetery. This leg-
islation was the first of many
steps in this process includ-
ing the final acquisition of 525
acres of land from the city of
Jacksonville. The memorial
grounds are in close proximi-
ty to the Jacksonville
International Airport.
Crenshaw and his col-
leagues on the House
Appropriations Subcommittee
on Military Construction and
Veterans Affairs worked to
ensure that over $29 million
was dedicated for the acquisi-
tion and construction of the
cemetery.

He, like I, believes that

est potential both as human
beings as well as those prac-
ticing medicine. The key here
is that we are practicing and
evolving, as much as new and
emerging diseases are push-
ing the limits of our ingenuity
and talents to unravel them.
Lyme disease is a perfect
example of a highly adaptive,
evolving disease that mimics a
wide range of other diseases.
More effective treatments are

the broader scope or potential
of this disease is being real-
ized in the clinical environ-
ment.
Having recently joined the
chamber, I remain deeply pas-
sionate about bringing the
most comprehensive and
holistic information about sus-
taining and restoring overall
health and well-being to our
local community and beyond
some day. I think one of the
key physicians in my earlier
management of undiagnosed
Lyme disease put it best when
he said "the ideal patient care
is realized where the preci-
sion of western medicine
meets the wisdom of eastern
medicine."
A healthier Nassau County
means a more productive
workplace. In the end that
means a win-win situation for
our residents, employers and
the families that share this
beautiful, growing community
known as Nassau County.
In my personal journey, I
found there is a time, place
and need of both conventional
and natural methods depend-
ing on the stage of illness or
seriousness of each individ-
ual's case. In combining the
expertise and intuition of both
sides of the fence, so to speak,

we better the prognosis for
patients of all ages and stages
of health and disease to
reclaim a quality of life they
may not believe is possible in
less individualized approach-
es.
To that end, I believe that
truly being alive is more than
simply having a pulse.
I want to inspire people to
take responsibility for their
overall health and well-being.
I want to see the day when the
norm is pro-active, preventive
living versus simply "treating
diseases." I want to expand a
vision of a healthier communi-
ty where physicians of every
specialty move on from reac-
tive, acute care to wiping out
new and emerging health
challenges because they have
the time to do so.
One of the most inspiring
examples of this collaborative
effort I have ever experienced
was during the annual confer-
ence of world leading tick-
borne disease association
ILADS. Physicians from
every specialty imaginable,
including those in holistic
areas of therapy came togeth-
er as an interdisciplinary
group to share their unique
questions, findings and pro-
posed better options to bring
this pandemic public health
threat to an end.
The collaboration of intelli-
gence, humanity and passion
to help those suffering so
needlessly was truly a life-
changing experience that
changed me forever.
The chamber Health and
Wellness Expo will celebrate a


diverse collection of fitness,
wellness, nutritional, holistic
and naturopathic components
to overall health and well-
being. Best-selling authors in
the mind/body/spirit realm
will join practitioners in areas
of chiropractic care, acupunc-
ture, nutrition, Rolfing and
colonic hydrotherapy, among
others.
As well, emerging physical
therapies and fitness concepts
will be demonstrated along-
side juicing, aqua foot chi ses-
sions and nutritional blood
analysis. A special appear-
ance by former Olympic run-
ner Phil Hanneck and yoga
sessions will round out the
offerings in this first-ever
holistic-focused expo.
I want people to know they
absolutely can take control of
the quality of their life and the
possibility of overcoming the
odds. We all have an amazing
potential to sustain and recov-
er viable, joy-filled lives on
every level. I would love to
see a partnership effort
emerge from this event
through which mainstream
practitioners and those in the
holistic community can share
the common goal of a healthi-
er, more productive Nassau
County.
As the director of events
and programs, I hope you will
join us for this uniquely
empowering event! It promis-
es to better educate our com-
munity to better balance life in
the workplace, at home and in
knowing all the options to
restoring and maintaining
overall health and well-being.


COMMUNITY THANKS


Superheroes
The community made it
possible for Micah's Place to
host a Christmas party com-
plete with gifts, treats and a
visit from Santa Claus for the
children of survivors of domes-
tic violence.
One little four-year-old boy
was so delighted to get a gift
from Santa, jumping up and
down as he ripped the paper
off and gasping in delight as he
pulled out a pair of Incredible
Hulk hands that were about
half his size.
The little boy put these
huge hands on and immedi-
ately began to play. He looked


back at his mother and said, "I
am a superhero! I will protect
you mom!"
He reminded us that even
though he is now living in a
safe place, the effects of
domestic violence continue to
touch him as it does everyone
it comes in contact with.
This young boy understood
the magnitude of what his
mother had been through and
wanted to protect her from
harm.
We are glad to be a part of
an agency that not only reach-
es out to women in crisis, but
also reaches out to the com-
munity and hopefully, with our
prevention efforts, will shield


more children from personal-
ly experiencing the horrors of
domestic violence.
Children need to be super-
heroes in their own stories,
fighting unseen aliens and bad
guys, not fending off an all too
prevalent form of violence
against their mothers.
Micah's Place thanks the
community for its generosity
not only during the holidays
but throughout the year.
Through your support, you've
helped children by keeping
their mothers safe.
Katey Breen,
Development Director
For Micah's Place

Raffle results
The December Cats Angels merchant raf-
fle is over. Congratulations to the winners!
We were able to raise approximately $260 for
our Cats Angels spay/neuter program. Four
merchants donated an item to be raffled from
their stores.
Cats Angels wants to thank the following
merchants for participating in our December
raffle: Beadlemania, Nassau Diamond
Showroom, Divine Finds, Heron's Swim &
Sport, Inc. and Staples. Beadlemania offered
a $40 Beginning Bead Class. This two-hour
class is taught by Cats Angels volunteer Wills
Shores. Nassau Diamond Showroom donated
an enameled, jeweled trinket box. The trinket
box was in the shape of a cat and was a $50
value. Heron's Swim and Sport, Inc. raffled a
red fleecy bathrobe. It is made by Sheepy,
and this robe was soft and luscious. Divine
Finds owner Judy Richardson donated a dec-
orative finial for the raffle. Staples donated a
handsome table/desk. This piece was taller
than a regular table - perfect for art projects.
The sides folded in to create a table that was
only 2 by 4 feet with a value of $400.
Please visit and shop these merchants and
thank them for their support of our commu-
nity and its efforts to help homeless animals.

Pretty goo(

A recent visit to the veterinarian with
Charlie, our canine elder statesman,
filled us with trepidation as we await-
ed his appointment. Charlie's a big
dog. He's also 10, going on 11. Practically a
pup for a poodle or any other small breed. But
a 10-going-on-ll big dog is pretty close to
being a canine version of Methusela.
01' Charlie just hasn't been himself of late.
He's been hobbling and moaning and napping
more than usual. He's been picky at his food -
never a problem before. He's also gotten into
the habit of going outdoors and digging a hole
and lying down in it and not coming when
called. The day before we took him to the vet,
he had a go at the cat, who's normally his
buddy.
We feared the worst. Charlie's been with us
a long time and we feared that our time with
him was drawing to an end. My wife and I love
our cats and dogs but we're pragmatists when
it comes to certain things - like the unneces-
sary prolonging of an ailing pet's life. My wife
was to meet me at Fernandina Beach Animal
Clinic after she got off work. I prayed silently
in the waiting room as I waited. I was called
into the examination room before she arrived.
How am I going to get through this without
her, I wondered. Also, the appointment was
with a different vet than we're accustomed to
seeing on our occasional visits.
My wife got there just after I took a seat in
the room with Charlie. And then Dr. Jennifer

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


Sanctity of life
At times, we receive unexpected gifts. This
actually occurred during the first Mass of the
year at Saint Michael's Catholic Church on
Thursday, Jan. 1, 2009.
Our daily Mass celebrations include the
proclamation of two to three scripture readings
from the various Books of the Bible. This par-
ticular year begins with a gift found in the very
first reading of the year, which states:
The Lord bless you and keep you!
The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be
gracious to you!
The Lord look upon you kindly and give you
peace! Numbers 6:24-26
Then, in the second reading, Saint Paul's
Letter to the Galatians, we are referred to as
adopted sons of God (Galatians 4:4-7).
What a morning and a beautiful way to begin
the New Year: A blessing from the Old Testament
and named as an heir of God in the New
Testament!
Lastly, the third reading bestows the gift of
life!
The final reading for this first Mass of
the year is from Luke 2:16-21. It reads in
part, "... he was named Jesus, the name given him
by the angel before he was conceived in the
womb".
I would like to address the third reading,
specifically the phrase . ..... he was conceived."
We are all known by God prior to our conception.
Further, scripture is replete with words express-
ing life in the womb prior to birth.
Fast-forward to today and with our scientific
evidence, there should be no need in convincing
anyone of when life begins.
In fact, the act of abortion should be outlawed
as are so many other violent acts against others.
This is easy to write, but far more complicated to
legislate.
In fact, just the opposite is happening. Federal
and state laws previously passed, such as bans on
partial birth abortion, parental consent and noti-
fication laws, limits on public funding for elective
abortions, etc., are being threatened by the
Freedom of Choice Act (H.R 1964 and S. 1173),
which was reintroduced in the House and Senate
this past April.
This month, Catholic churches across the
country are participating in a "Stop Freedom of
Choice Act" (FOCA) postcard campaign. If
you are not aware of this campaign and would like
further information and/or would like to partic-
ipate, please visit the following website:
www.nchla.org or contact the undersigned at
ruebushr@bellsouth.net or call 225-7321.
I must admit, in the past, from time to time, I


questioned the pro-life movement influencing
someone's right to choose.
Did anyone have the right to impress their
view on another individual? I have since
confirmed my position and align myself with
the pro-life movement due to an increased
understanding of the act itself and what it
means, not only to the unborn, but to society as
well.
Simply stated by Fr. Paul Marx, OSB founder
and past president of Human Life International,
all of the social justice issues are based on the
idea that human life has intrinsic worth. For
example:
If we deny the right to exist to the poorest
among us, the unborn, with not even a thread of
clothing to call their own, then how will we
respect the poor we can see?
If we allow the murder of unborn children
"too likely" to grow up uneducated ... then how
will we fix schools?
If babies can be aborted for being not perfect
enough due to deformity, disease or gender ...
then who else is not perfect enough to be allowed
to continue living: the old, the disabled, the ter-
minally ill?
If our own children are not worthy enough to
garner our protection ... then how will we work
to minimize civilian casualties of war in foreign
countries?
In closing, the sanctity of the unborn life is

Newyear
Last year was a bad year for the meat indus-
try.
It began in February, with USDA's largest
beef recall.
In April, a study of 88,000 women found that
those eating lots of fruits, vegetables and whole
grains were 24 and 18 percent less likely to suf-
fer a heart attack and stroke, respectively, than
women addicted to typical American diets. A
National Cancer Institute study in November
concluded that consumption of meat and dairy
elevates cancer risk.
Last spring, Pew Charitable Trusts and Johns
Hopkins University called for a phase-out of fac-
tory farming. In November, California voters
agreed by requiring that animals raised for food
have space to spread their wings, possibly wiping
out the state's egg industry.
Let's make 2009 a really good year for our-
selves by exploring the rich variety of meat and
dairy analogs in our local supermarket. This is a
New Year's resolution that's fun to keep.

VIEWPOINT/PAT KEOGH/FERNANDINA BEACH


Driving or

I think I might have one of my local myster-
ies figured out. It's the driving on the
beach thing. At first, it just never made
sense to me. Why would anyone make
such a fuss over driving on the beach, what
with the turtles and safety and all like that? I
was there once when my granddaughter
helped a local turtle volunteer open a nest to
release the malingerers after the regulation
couple of days of waiting. It was a National
Geographic kind of event. What must people be
thinking to want beach driving? With the
humility borne of being from someplace else I
knew there had to be more to it. Now, I think
maybe I know.
We as Americans hold dear the idea of free
access to the ocean and beach. It's not just

Fernandina folks, it's all of
us. The beach does not
belong to anyone. Sure,
oceanfront property is very
desirable and expensive but
the right to own that land
does not mean you own the
beach. It's just like the side-
walk and street in front of
your house. You own the lot Keogh
and the house but you do
not control the sidewalk or
the street. But if you are one of those folks with
the big houses on the south end of the island
it's no surprise that over time you might come
to feel like you are entitled to some privacy.

Why do people have to drive and park their

privacy; think of those poor turtles. "It's not so

history of driving and parking on the beach
here in Fernandina! You get a vision of Tevye
in his F-150, Fiddler on the Roof Edition, driv-
ing down the beach belting out Tradition! And
so the line is drawn in the sand, in a manner of
speaking.
Maybe it's something like the cattlemen
and the sodbusters. Remember the Saturday
matinees all those years ago? The cattlemen
were used to a wide-open range with their
beefs running freely, controlled only by a
brand, a quick draw and a noose for the occa-
sional rustler. With the coming of the farmer
and his fences there were conflicting property
rights and traditions. The rancher was a rough
and ready guy with a gun strapped to his side
and he and his boys hung out in the saloon
with their horses hitched to a post outside. The
sodbuster didn't carry a gun and came to town
in his buckboard to go to the general store
with his family. Even we kids knew it was more
about a changing way of life than about fences.
There seemed a certain inevitability about the
sodbuster but we all mourned the passing of a
lifestyle.
When it comes to the beach, those original-
ly from Fernandina have a different perspec-
tive from the more recent arrivals. They
remember the open beach and nothing says
openness like driving on the beach and beach
parking is staking our claim. Yankees solved
the conflict between private property rights
and the public's beach rights by creating
boardwalks. They placed the boardwalk
between the private property and the beach;
like streets or sidewalks. Clever those people
from New Jersey. But here in Fernandina we
didn't do that and therein lies the problem.
Those folks in the big houses act like they own


or spirit

the beach and want to establish new rules to
exert their control and diminish our rights. We
have to show them they can't do that. The best
way to show them is to retain our right to drive
and park on the beach. And those McMansion
types want to make it seem like burning the
flag to exert First Amendment rights. It's not
that; it's about our history! By the way, did you
ever notice how some folks say "McMansion"
with the same facial expression as that movie
rancher said " d ..l...i,, '
Truth is I don't think it has as much to do
about driving and parking as it does about
access. Americans are fine with wealth and
property rights as long as they believe every-
one has roughly equal rights of access to
wealth and property. If they ever doubt the
availability of that access then we have a big
problem. In this understanding may lie a solu-
tion to our dilemma. We need to provide sub-
stantially better public access to all portions of
the beach. The current real estate market may
be an opportunity for governments to acquire
additional access points.
I mean generous access for all times with
adequate parking. And maybe periodically dur-
ing the year we need to schedule "Fernandina
Days" like "Wild West Days." During
Fernandina Days driving on the beach would
be permitted.
Heck, go ahead and build a bonfire, fish and
camp overnight there too. Then we can cele-
brate not only the community's traditions but
also confirm the principle of free beach access
for everyone. Let's just not have the Days dur-
ing turtle season. Maybe the Jersey boardwalk
solution would be better.

Evans crowned orincess at O'Neal church


We are all God's people on this
Earth. He oversees us from heaven on
high. A timeline centered around Jesus'
birth, we praise him daily passing by. So
let us thank him for showing perfect
love. We know his word shall forever
stay eternal words of wisdom that were
sent from above, so that's the reason we
should endlessly pray.
Recently little Jalay Evans was
crowned princess at O'Neal Memorial
Baptist Church. The Rev. Fred A.
Denson Sr. serves as pastor there,
where the Rose-Lennie Developmental
Learning Center, directed by Eleanor
Simmons, is located.
Qualified preschool students attend-
ing the learning center participated in
tax-deductible donations benefiting the
Francesna Morrison Jacobs Scholar-
ship, which helps them to attend the
center.
Paula Melton-Evans would like to say
thank you to everyone who gave a dona-
tion to her daughter Jalay. You have
done so unselfishly. Thank you for
believing in the vision of Rose-Lennie
Learning Center, where your pre-school-
ers may be able to also attend. Call
Simmons at the church, 277-2006,

As we begin another new year, what-
ever rhymes with nine to help you to do
better. Why not give it a try, just don't
take it for granted. Remember, we live in
an uncertain world. When we leave
home in the morning, we assume we
will return in the evening. When we say
goodbye to loved ones, we take for
granted we will see them again.
We very seldom say to them how
much we love them. We presume they
know it. Say it today. Tomorrow does
not always come. We know that life can
sometimes be short. So let us keep an
account with every person in the circle
of our love, because we never know


when life will be changed, sometimes
permanently. Be quick to love, in a
hurry to be kind. Take time to make
someone feel very special, always giving
hugs and kisses; with "I love you" from
your heart to theirs.
Remember in this new year, it's
never too late. God gives us a lifetime to
become the person he wants us to be.
He created us for a purpose. When God
closes a door, he opens another; so be
not afraid of changes, but more welcom-
ing of other adventures and opportuni-
ties.
The family of the late Dea. James M.
Pough Jr., father of Sis. Renee Bolden, is
grateful for your prayers, words of con-
solation and kind acts that helped sus-
tain them during her father's illness and

WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES


Don't Put Your Trust In

Things Of This World


Young children seem to have the utmost trust in their parents.
For instance, they know that whenever they are not
feeling well, their parents are there to comfort them n
and do whatever is necessary to make them better. g
A parent's love is special, and it seems that there is Q
nothing that they would not do for their children. 1
As adults, we should remember that all things of this
world are temporary and that there is nothing we can
truly depend on or be absolutely sure of. A loved one
passing away, or finances being low, or a serious l
illness could turn ur world upside down in an
instant. However, we should take heart; there is good
news: we are God's children, and His love for us is
even greater than that of our parents'. And although H
it takes enormous courage to put our complete trust in '
God, we must believe that He wants only what is good
for us. What is required of us is to see God's work
in everything we do, and develop perfect trust to accept
the trials of his life, and to know that with whatever
difficulties we are faced, God will not abandon us.
The first step in increasing our trust in God is to
thank Him daily for His many blessings and to
always go to Him with our anxieties.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
N.I.V. Proverbs 3:5-6

Reachi

Suddenly they appeared
- right on time and in
their usual formation.
Tom's heart leapt as
he watched them fly by.
Everything in him wanted to
join them, but somehow it just
didn't look possible; or was it?
Actually, the event was
nothing new. It seemed that
every fall Tom would go
through the same thing. You
see, Tom was a barnyard
duck, and every year he
would find himself watching
all the wild ducks flying south
for the winter. Somewhere
deep in his heart he knew
that he was born to soar with
them, but living on the farm
was all he had ever known.

Legion

Auxiliary

offers girls'

programs

Two of the American Legion
Auxiliary's showcase programs
are Girls State and Girls Nation.
Both are intended for young
women entering their senior
year in high school with an inter-
est in local, state and federal
government.
As a result of participation
in these programs, these young
women take responsibility for
good citizenship and develop
an understanding of govern-
ment.
The American Legion
Auxiliary Girls State Program
has provided high school girls
across the country the oppor-
tunity to participate in a hands-
on citizenship training program
for more than 60 years.
The American Legion
Auxiliary Girls State Program
is a non-partisan program for
teaching how government
works while developing confi-
dence, leadership skills and an
appreciation for your rights as a
citizen.
Since the inception of the
Girls State program in 1937,
nearly one million young
women have had the opportu-
nity to learn first-hand how their
state and local government
works.
Selected girls spend an
intensive week in June of study,
working together as self-
governing citizens at the
Auxiliary-sponsored Girls State
program. These young ladies
learn government by actually
creating a mythical state
through the election of public
officials on local, county, and
state levels and then by carrying
out the duties of these respec-
tive offices.
As participants in the pro-
gram they run for office, learn
public speaking, create and
enforce laws and actively par-
ticipate in all phases of creating
and running a working govern-
ment in this exciting and fun
summer program.
Participants learn how to
participate in the functioning
of their state's government in
preparation for their future
roles as responsible adult citi-
zens
Girls Nation is a continua-
tion of Girls State; it is a nation-
al government training program
where two girls are selected
from each Girls State program
to attend Girls Nation.
The Girls Nation "Senators"
meet for a week in Washington,
D.C., where they run for politi-
cal office, campaign for the pas-
sage of legislation and possibly
meet with state representatives
and senators.
Capping off the week of
Girls Nation is oftentimes a
meeting with the president of
the United States at the White
House.
Girls State citizens gain a
better understanding of
American traditions and a
greater appreciation of their
country and flag as well as learn
government processes through
simulated real-life involvement
in all levels of government.
They develop confidence and
leadership skills that will shape
their future.

The Pirates' 14-game winning streak was snapped Tuesday at Ribault in a district matchup against the Trojans. The Pirates led the last three

FBHS Pirates edged by Trojans 75-74


BETH JONES
News Leader

There was little cushion room for
either team Tuesday when the Pirates
visited the Ribault Trojans. The Pirates
held a seven-point lead at halftime and
increased it to nine early in the third
quarter. That was the "'- h ,i . :,:,n;iii..
in scoring all night.
The Pirates never trailed the Trojans
in the third quarter, either leading or at
a deadlock. The Trojans rallied to open
the fourth quarter and take a narrow
lead, but two points from Pirate Tai
Alford evened the score at 60-60 with
5:05 left in the game. For the next two
minutes, the teams exchanged shots,
keeping it within a basket.
With 2:55 left to play, the Pirates
took the lead and held it but never by
more than four points. The Pirates still
led by a point with just 39 seconds left.
The Trojans evened the score with a
free-throw and, with 16 seconds on the
clock, secured a 75-74 win when a play-
er nailed the second of two foul shots.


The Pirates were left with just 16
seconds to score the game-winner. They
took shots, but none fell.
It was the Pirates' first loss of the
season. The Trojans improved to 7-3.
"We think we'll see them two more
times if we advance through the dis-
trict tournament into the regional," said
Matt Schreiber, Fernandina Beach
High School head basketball coach.
"It was a great challenge for us to
play a great basketball team, especial-
ly on the road in an important game. We
didn't downplay the game at all. We did
everything we could to win.
"It was fun. This is why you do it. It's
why you put in so much work, to be in
this position."
The last time FBHS beat Ribault was
the 2000-1 season.
'They're passionate about their bas-
ketball," Schreiber said of Ribault.
'That's part of what makes the atmos-
phere electric. I sense people in our
community getting excited about our

and things work out the way we hope,

Salucci, Dallas reflect on freshman seasons


BETH JONES
News Leader

A pair of former Pirates
were impact players for their
respective college gridiron
teams this past season.
Terrell Dallas, a 6-foot, 205-
pound running back at The
Citadel, rushed 75 times for
230 yards and scored four
touchdowns for the Bulldogs
in 2008. He ended the season as
the team's second leading rush-
er.
Dallas also had 14 recep-
tions for another 117 yards and
was fourth on the team in all-
purpose yards.
"I got hurt the second week
of camp (strained calf)," Dallas
said. "I played the first game,
but I wasn't 100 percent. I was
out the next three weeks.
"The first week back I
played and the week after that
I won a starting job. I felt I
earned my position."
Dallas started five of 10
games last season and, after
scoring The Citadel's only two
offensive touchdowns in a win
over Chattanooga, he was
named the Southern Confer-
ence freshman of the week. He
had 49 yards on 13 carries in
that game.
He was also in action in The
Swamp this season, taking on
then-No. 3 Florida, which
played Thursday for the nation-
al championship.
"I'm always used to going
there," said Dallas, a Gator fan
himself. "We had a football
camp there a couple of years
ago so I was real comfortable
playing there. I felt at home
actually.
'The crowd didn't shock me
until the first play of the game.
We couldn't hear the center five
yards away from each other. It
was pretty loud. That's when it
really hit me."
The Gators prevailed in that
game 70-19.
"I had 12-13 carries for 36-40
yards, or something like that,"
Dallas said. "We put up the
most points on them since LSU
(five weeks earlier)."
Alabama, ranked No. 1 ear-
lier in the season, scored just 20
points against the Gators in the
SEC championship game two
weeks later.
"It felt good being a part of
that," Dallas said.
The Citadel (Division I-AA)
finished 4-8 overall and 2-6 in

conference play and also took
on another ranked team,
Clemson (then No. 9).
ii .h:, :, tough schedule and
we had 13 freshmen play this
year," Dallas said.
Dallas is looking forward to
his sophomore season with the
Bulldogs and is gunning for the
No. 1 running back position.
"I'm just trying to stay
healthy and get stronger and
faster so hopefully I can start all
11 games," he said. "I'll try to
build on what I started last
year."
His accomplishments didn't
go unnoticed by former high
school teammate Vince Salucci,
who played at cornerback for
Beloit College in Beloit, Wis., a
Division III team.
"He did really well for a
freshman, especially going into
college at the Division I-AA
level," Salucci said of Dallas. "I
checked his stats online."
Salucci had a stellar season
as well for the Buccaneers.
"He came in and started
after the third day," said Chris
Brann, head football coach at
Beloit College. "We put him at
starting cornerback.
"He just had a tremendous


year. (He was among the) top
three in the league for broken-
up passes and led the team in
blocked punts and field goals.
"He was a true blessing. As
great a player as he is, he's even
a better person. I think the
world of him."
Salucci blocked five kicks
- a field goal and four point-
afters.
"I was really surprised on
that," he said. "I blocked one
kick in high school and that
was it."
Salucci, a 6-2, 185-pound cor-
nerback, also led the team in
pass defenses with 10 and was
third on the team in tackles
with 67 stops; 52 were solo, sec-
ond on the team. He also inter-
cepted three passes, returned
them for 40 yards and almost
scored on one return.
"I should have," Salucci said.
"I slipped when I went to go
cut. I slid right into this guy
tackling me."
Salucci was named the
team's co-freshman of the year
and earned all-Midwest Confer-
ence team honors as an honor-
able mention.
'There are not many fresh-
men on even second or first


team all-conference. It's a pret-
ty big thing."
The Bucs went 5-5 overall,
improving from a one-win sea-
son in 2007.
"This year was more of a
transition year," Salucci said.
"They had nine freshmen start-
ing on defense. There's no way
we're not going to be good next
year either. We only lost a cou-
ple of people."
It wasn't the only turn-
around season for Salucci. His
senior season at Fernandina
Beach High School, the Pirates
went 8-2, rebounding from a
winless season the year before.
The Pirates also made the play-
offs when Salucci (the team's
most valuable player in 2007)
and Dallas were seniors.
"I was kind of upset when
they didn't make the playoffs
this year," Dallas said. "I do feel
good about them beating West
Nassau. I never beat West
Nassau my four years here."
Dallas said former coach Ed
"Puggy" Brown and some team-
mates were in Gainesville Nov.
22 when he dressed out against
the Gators.

Shoulder is at risk


in NFL quarterbacks


Q. I recently heard about
* an NFL quarterback
who was playing with a sepa-
rated shoulder. What is a
separation and how is this
different from a dislocation?

A. A shoulder separation
: is an injury of the
acromioclavicular joint and
its surrounding ligaments,
which hold this joint togeth-
er. The joint is formed by the
connection between your
collarbone and the shoulder
blade and you can locate it
by following the collarbone
out towards its end towards
the shoulder, where you will
note a small bump where it
joins to the acromion, the
forward projection of the
shoulder blade (scapula).
An injury there would be
referred to as a shoulder
separation, or an AC separa-
tion. This type of injury is
very common in hockey, ski-
ing and football. Thus, AC
separations are about five
times more common in men
than women. A hard fall to
the point of the shoulder
tears the ligaments, which
joins these two bones. This
allows the two bones to
move away from each other,
increasing the prominence
of the bump at the end of
your collarbone.
A study by the NFL found
that of all shoulder injuries
to quarterbacks approxi-
mately 40 percent were AC
separations.
AC separations are classi-
fied based on the signifi-
cance of injury. Grade I
injuries involve a mild sprain
or stretch injury without dis-
ruption of the joint; Grade II
injuries involve rupture of
one-half of the ligamentous
restraints with loss of the
normal collarbone position
(the collarbone becomes
somewhat "high riding" and
is no longer level with the
acromion; Grade III injuries
involve a complete disrup-
tion of the ligaments sur-
rounding the joint with 100
percent displacement of the
end of the collarbone.
Fortunately, the majority
of shoulder separations can
be treated without surgery.
There are some differences


in opinions
as to
whether or
not Grade
es III injuries
should be
c ip fixed, but
most
experts
favor non-
operative
SPORTS treatment.
A review
MEDICINE of treat-
GREGORY ment proto-
cols of
SMITH, M.D. every team
physician
for Major
League Baseball showed 70
percent favored non-opera-
tive intervention for Grade
III injuries. A review of the
outcomes of pitchers who
had sustained this injury
showed there was no signifi-
cant improvement between
the outcomes of those treat-
ed surgically versus those
treated non-surgically.
Therefore in most cir-
cumstances, medications for
swelling and pain control are
prescribed and a physical
therapy program is imple-
mented to regain motion and
strength of your shoulder.
Contact sports are avoided
until your pain is eliminated
and until your strength
returns to normal. One
would expect to keep an
increased prominence at the
end of the collarbone, but
this will not likely cause any
functional problems.
A shoulder separation is
very different from a shoul-
der dislocation. In a disloca-
tion, the "ball" of the arm
pops out from its "socket."
This usually requires a trip
to the emergency room to
have it put back in place.
This column is written to
discuss issues regarding
sports, medicine and safety. It
is not intended to serve as a
replacement for treatment by

concerns should be discussed

Weather changes fishing scene


Wintertime in Northeast Florida
finds a variety of weather condi-
tions. One day it might be 80
degrees with little wind, then the
following day a front may arrive with 50-
degree temperatures and 20-mile per hour
northeast winds. Fishing conditions often vary
with these severe weather changes. So the
saying, "You should have been fishing here
yesterday," is often repeated
when the fishing doesn't
quite meet up to par.
On Tuesday, there were
light winds and 80-degree
temperatures. Tuesday night
a front began pushing
through, bringing thunder-
storms and 20-mile per hour
winds. This is exactly why
ON THE many area fishermen have
both a big boat for deep-sea
WATER fishing and a small boat for

TERRY when the wind blows.
LACOSS A cold front that pushed
through Northeast Florida
Tuesday will make a differ-
ence in this weekend's fishing action. Look for
stripes and largemouth bass fishing to pick
up in the upper reaches of the the St. Marys
and Nassau river systems. Bass and stripers
should be schooling in the deeper turns of the
rivers and in many area brackish creeks.
During a past winter fishing trip to Boggy
Creek, our fishing party caught and released
more than 20 largemouth bass weighing to
five pounds. All of the bass were hooked while
casting a deep diving Bomber 7-A in the "Fire
Tiger" color pattern.
Another winter fishing trip produced five
stripers weighing to 10 pounds while casting a
Bagley minnow-type plugs in the silver color
pattern with an orange belly. All of the stripers
were caught and released while fishing the
Nassau River at the 1-95 bridge.
Tides are also critical with the first of the
falling tide producing the best fishing action
for both largemouth bass and river stripers.
Capt. Allen Mills had a nice catch of big
black sea bass, snapper and grouper recently
with his fishing charter at HH fish haven.
Capt. Benny Hendrix is guiding his fishing
charters to big reds at FA fish haven, red
snapper and sea bass. Capt. Terry David
Lacoss is scoring well with up to 30 redfish per
half-day charter in the backwater while target-

ing the falling tide. Most of his charter action
has been coming while drifting live shrimp
under a small float close to boat docks and
where deep sloughs run close to oyster flats.
Huge whiting weighing to two pounds are
running in the surf during the last of the
incoming and all of the falling tide. Key areas
continue to include just south of the old
pipeline and the rock jetties located at the
southern tip of Amelia Island.
Tides this weekend will find a high tide
arriving at 7:49 a.m. and a low tide at 1:53 p.m.
Saturday at the mouth of the Amelia River.
The News-Leader encourages local anglers to
submit photographs of their catches. E-mail pho-

"I feel good to show people
I'm a product of what
Fernandina has done for me."
Dallas kept tabs on Salucci's
freshman season as well.
"Every Thursday or Friday
we would travel for away games
and when I was in the hotel I
would try to call or text him to
see how he was doing and
where they were playing,"
Dallas said. "I was on the punt
team, but I didn't start at all.
So, when I heard he had
blocked five kicks, I thought
that was kind of cool. That's
pretty crazy, especially for a
freshman."
Both said they've adjusted
well making the leap from high
school to college.
"There's an obvious jump,"
Salucci said. "After a couple of
games, I was aware of what was
going on. It's a lot faster.
Practices are a little different.
It's more of a fast pace."
"I was pretty anxious to get
that first hit out of the way,"
Dallas said. "Once I did that,
then I was ready to roll. I was
ready to take off.
"It's seven times more
intense. The very first day dur-
ing summer, I thought I was
going to pass out. They threw

Another matchup with the

"Practice during the season
isn't as hard, but the hour and
a half you're out there, you're
working 110 percent. It's not
that they push you, but if you
want to keep your job, you have
to go 110 percent."
Dallas said it differs from
high school because not every-
one gets to play just because
it's a blowout.
'The best person is going
to play because the coaches
want to win," he said. "It's a lot
more intense but it's a lot more
fun too."
Dallas is on full scholarship
at The Citadel. There are no
scholarships for Division III,
but Salucci secured academic
scholarships to attend Beloit,
one of the top academic liberal
arts schools in the U.S. He has
a 3.678 grade point average.
Dallas is right at 3.0 while
tackling 18 credit hours; both
are majoring in computer sci-
ence.
While Dallas stayed in the
South, Salucci had to adjust to
Wisconsin winters. He left his
flip-flops in Fernandina Beach.
"I didn't take mine," he said.
"I thought, who's going to wear
flip-flops. But there were a lot of
people wearing them. I was
surprised."
He's packing them when he
heads back to Beloit Jan. 18.

A tour of civil rights history


SUBMITTED PHOTOS


you may not have heard

For the News Leader


During the month of January,
Savannah tour company Day
Clean Journeys, Inc. will pro-
vide tours that focus on civil
rights history in the city. With each of its
standard tours, including I Love
Savannah History, African American
History and Gullah Geechee tours, there
will be a special emphasis placed on the
civil rights movement in the Savannah,
Brunswick, Liberty County, Hilton Head
and St. Helena areas.
Learn about the unique roles those
places played in changing the world dur-
ing the 1950's, and 1960's, including little-
known civil rights history facts. For
example, hear about the first lunch count-
er demonstration (and it's not
Greensboro, N.C.), learn about the first
bus boycott (and it's not Montgomery,
Ala.), and about the woman that sparked
the Montgomery, Ala., Bus Boycott (and
it's not Rosa Parks).
Dr. Jamal Toure, the founder of Day
Clean Journeys, said, "We will cover a
part of the story that is important to
Savannah and all communities here. It
doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, we
have a story to share with you that touch-
es your life right now."
The Civil Rights History Tour will be
merged into the regular tours. Toured
added, "A lot of folks don't remember
about the Ballot Bus that operated in
Savannah during the heyday of the move-
ment. We need to let folks know about
'Big Les' and the rest of those workers of
the movement who made it possible for
us today. Ben Clark and the Chatham
County Crusade for Voters are major
players as to why we became desegregat-
ed here and we want to put their names


It doesn't matter what your
ethnicity is, we have a story to
share with you that touches
your life right now.'

CLEAN JOURNEYS

out there more."
Visit the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil
Rights Museum on the tour. Learn about
the namesake of Spencer Elementary and
how he stood up to members of his com-
munity and constituency in order to
insure equal treatment for all teachers,
regardless of race. See the "I Have a
Dream Speech" church in Savannah. The
tour will share the story of how three
African-American youth in Glynn County
brought about desegregated facilities and
beaches on Jekyll Island. Those youths,
one of whom is Jim Bacote of Geechee
Kunda, were represented by the Hon.
Constance Baker Motley and Vernon
Jordan.
The rise of President-elect Barack
Obama is tied in part to the Citizenship
Schools that were operated in Liberty
County and the work of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Septima Clarke and Andy
Young. Civil rights History will be cov-
ered from the 1600's through the 1900s.
'The struggle for rights regarding
African people in this country goes back
400 years. One African British clergyman
that came to the colony of Georgia in the
1700s said he was here to free the
Africans. He was promptly removed or
sent packing," mused Tour&.


The Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights
Museum in Savannah, above, is among the
stops on Day Clean Journeys' civil rights histo-
ry tour, offered in conjunction with the compa-
ny's other tours this month to recognize little-
known facts about the movement and its
people.

tiffs in the action that desegregated Jekyll
Island.
