Two nests, with monr- than 100 eggs each. were discovered to have erupted with hatchlings Saturday. PHOTOS BY SANDRA BAKE HINTON/FOR THE NEWS-LEADEi 26% property tax cut for water management board PALATKA The St. Johns River Water Management District Governing Board approved a tenta- tive budget Tuesday that reduces property tax revenues by 26 percent as part of Gov. Rick Scott's and the Legislature's goals to reduce proper- ty taxes and focus on the district's core missions and responsibilities. -The tentative rate will result in $85.3 million in revenue that will be part of a total $209 million budget that will also be funded with prior years' state and carryover funds, timber sales, cattle leases, interest earnings and permit fees. Under the proposed 0.3313 mill- ,age rate -33.13 cents for every $1,000 of assessed property value the owner of a $200,000 house with a $50,000 homestead exemption would pay $49:69 per year in property taxes to the district. The district includes Nassau County. . "The tentative budget approved today will allow the district to focus on its core missions,.- l IuI.., I.. providing some tax relief for property owners," said Governing Board Chairman Leonard Wood of Fernandina Beach. "While we will see some reduction in the projects that the :i',_c i undertakes and cost-shares in,. this budget will fund our highest priorities." Keeping his promise to reduce property taxes, Scott a Scott signed legisla- tion last month that will save homeown- ers and businesses throughout Flbrida $210.5 million on property taxes due in 2012. Senate Bill 2142 caps the taxes Florida's five water management districts can assess on residential and commercial proper- ties. Property owners in the Southwest Florida Water Management District will see11.- -.i n'+..ii.

Each district is required to provide a :, ~). -d,11. financial statement to its gov- erning board and make the informa- tion available to the public on the dis- trict's website. "This property tax cut allows fam- ilies and businesses to use more of their hard-earned money in the way they see'best, rather than having to send it to a government agency," Scott said. "In addition, with access to more information about their water man- agement district's budget, property owners will be able to hold them accountable for how every tax dollar is spent."' To achieve budget reductions and ensure that core missions and respon- sibilities are achieved, the St. Johns district vill reduce: Contractual services by $23 mil- lion Employee.salaries and benefits by $12 million Cooperative funding by $7 mil- lion Operating expenses by $3 mil- lion. The tentative budget allows the St. Johns district to focus on projects such as: Priority restoration projects to improve water quality and develop alternative water supplies.

The same advice may be appropriate for grandma and grandpa as well. Seniors are the fastest-growing segment of new Internet users, as they've discovered email, online shopping and banking, social net- working, traveling planning and other online conveniences. Even the most tech-savvy among us sometimes fall prey to online scammers, so if your parents or grandparents have recently taken the online plunge, here are some safety tips you can share: Update security software. Make sure their computers have anti-virus and anti-spyware software and show them how to update it regularly. = Think like the bad guys. Even the best software isn't 100 percent foolproof, so teach them how to anticipate and ward off annoying or criminal behav- ior. For example: Only open or download information from trusted sites to which you navigat- ed yourself. Don't assume a link con- tained in an email, even from a friend, will necessarily take you to a company's legitimate website. Don't click on pop-up windows or ' banners that appear when you're brows- ing a site. : Common email scams that target sen- iors include offers for discounted drugs and low-cost insur- ance, and supposed warnings from the IRS which inciden- tally, never contacts taxpayers by email. Financial institutions never email cus- tomers asking for verification of account or password information. When shopping online, look for safe- ty symbols such as a padlock icon in the browser's status bar, an "s" after "http" in the URL address, or the words "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) or "Transport Layer Security" (TLS). These are signs that the merchant is using a secure page for transmitting per- sonal information. These are all common tricks used to infect your computer with viruses or to 'install spyware that records your key- strokes to obtain account or other confi- dential information. Use strong passwords. Believe it or not, the most frequently used password is "password." Other common, easy-to- crack passwords include simple numeric sequences and names of pets, spouses and children. For more secure pass- words: Use at least seven characters with a mixture of upper and lower-case letters, numbers ard symbols. Use unique passwords for each account in case one gets compromised. Change passwords frequently. Buddies and dreams focus ofbreakfast The July Breakfast Learn- ing Series will explore the local services and programs offered by Best Buddies of Florida and Dreams Come True. The July 26 breakfast pro- gram, the Magic of Friendship and Dreams, will be held at 9 a.m. at the Nassau County office of Family Support Services of North Florida (FSS), 87001 Professional Way in Yulee.

But like the wave tops constantly in motion, the fluid nature of boat names is also often a' sign' of boater's changing lives. Have you started fishing? Reel Crazy may be for you. Recently divorced? Alimony says it all. Have kids in school? Tuition says it best. Regardless of ever-chang- ing lifestyles, marital status, careers or family; choosing a name can be difficult.

The list can be found at BoatUS.com/boat- graphics/names. The national boat owners group has announced its Annual List of Top 10 Boat Names, which it has tracked since 1991. The list is assem- bled each year by the Boat US Boat Graphics service that allows boaters to easily custom design and preview boat names online without having to pay up front. The top 10 names are: 1. AquaHolic 2. Andiamo (Let's go) 3: The Black Pearl 4. La Belle Vita (The Beautiful Life) 5. Mojo 6. Island Time ,7. Second Wind 8. No Worries 9. Serenity 10.

A NEWS LEADER FRIDAY, JULY 15. 2011 NEWS News-Leader 0 31 AIRPORT Continued from 1A ed to do construction at the airport, reducing McGill's leasehold property. After a "minor" fuel spill at the airport, according to McGill, the city "decided not to talk about the lease issue." McGill says in the summer of 2004, the city moved to evict the company, but Nassau County Circuit Judge Davis blocked the eviction. McGill Aviation also claimed the city was preventing the company from building T- hangars and further claimed a loss of fuel sales BUDGET Continued from 1A instead of a chain saw ... we've gone through an excruciating exercise" to prepare the budget recommendations he made June 27. Poynter said he also thought the city should keep local attorney Buddy Jacobs as a lobbyist, rather than cutting him as was suggested in Czymbor's list. "It's all about connections and relationships," Poynter said regarding Jacobs' lobbying in Tallahassee and Washington. "I've got a problem with interfering with someone's contract." He said he believed it was also "essen- tial" to keep the, cost. of living raises in employee contracts. "I believe when we enter into a contract it's a binding thing," Poynter said. Filkoff said the city should not eliminate an annual payment to Nassau County to help oper- ate the city library, another of Czymbor's sug- gested cuts, Childers agreed, saying, "That's the kind pf message we don't want to send." As to possible revenue streams, Bunch said the city could raise the utility tax, but Poynter said he was "more inclined to look at a millage rate increase." He also asked if there was any and that the city misappropriated funds, among other issues. According to Bach, the lawsuit was a com- plicated one with many case numbers, settle- ment conferences in court or with an arbitrator and closed sessions over the years. It eventual- ly included 9,000 pages of documentation and 29 days of testimony, an unusually large number according to Bach. 'There were a lot of issues and a lot of wit- nesses," Bach said, because the arbitrator was allowed to bring in all evidence. adaughty@ fbnewsleader:com possibility of trying again to establish a stormwater fee for residents. Mayor Susan Steger said she thought it a bad idea to give city employees a 4 percent pay raise while raising property taxes. "The (employee) contract says we can bring (raises) back to the table. I'm saying every union needs to come together," she said. "I would like to take Commissioner Filkoff's idea and ask the people of Fernandina Beach about ways to cut expens- es." "Let's ask people if they have any ideas," Filkoff said regarding a cut from each city department. "Let's at least open the door to that conversation. People assume a sense of entitlement among city employees. I know that's not true." Bunch also noted city employees could pay some of their own health insurance premiums. According to City Finance Director Patti Clifford, the city pays 100 percent of health insurance premiums for individual employees and retirees. In the end, Czymbor said he could meet with the three employee unions to discuss spe- cific cuts and send "an invitation to all employ- ees tobecome more efficient." adaughury@fbnewsleader:com League slams state for nursing home cuts Florida News Connection TALLAHASSEE The Florida League of Women Voters is slamming the state Legislature for refusing to spend $2 million to help the elderly stay out of nursing homes. By failing to fork over the funds, Florida's legislative leadership in effect returned $35 million in federal matching funds to Washington. League president Deirdre Macnab asks what the legis- lature was thinking. "This is really an unfortunate, quite a disgraceful decision, I think, by the state, particularly when we are sending people into nursing homes. The state has just cut funding by almost 10 percent to nursing homes." In recent months, Florida has forfeited $54 million.in grants because the funds were related to the federal Affordable Healthcare Act. Florida and 25 other states are challenging'the act's "individ- ual mandate" in court, while other states are accepting the funds. Macnab admits these are difficult economic times in Florida, but she says the state needs less partisanship and more policy based on eco- nomic sense. "Because of our state's refusal to participate in any way in the federal health care plan, and in particular this program, we are going to be .spending our own state money at almost twice as much, $80,000 a year, to put these people in nursing homes."

The "Money Follows the Person" program (launched by the administration of President George W. Bush Administration) would have provided an initial $2 million leading to an additional $35 million in Medicaid funding over a 5-year period. Nursing homes had a $200 million budget cut this year and could have used the federal funds to ,help facilitate the existing nurs- ing.homne i .il ,i .,efforts in the state. Most patients would opt to live at home if possible. For many family members, this isn't manageable without needed services. "Unfortunately, Florida is earning the reputation of being strident and oppositional in choosing ideology over the needs of citizens in this case, the elderly and their care-' givers," said Macnab. "The leg- islators' stubborn resistance to the Affordable Care Act has led to the refusal of a series of federal funding initiatives."

JULY 15.2011 NEWS News-Leader Looking to trade cars? Here are 10 tips to prepare More potential car buyers are finding themselves trad-. ing versus selling their car privately. Financing realities for prospective buyers make selling your car harder than it used to be. Those prepar- ing to trade can help their cause with a little planning. In no. specific order, here'are some tips from a guy who has appraised cars for decades. 1) Make sure it is clean inside and out. If your car is in tough shape, spend the money for a detail. First impressions count with peo- ple and cars too. Dealers have to make an offer to buy your car in a matter of min- utes. Walking up to appraise a clean car makes a differ- ence. Tidy up the inside as well. 2) Fix body'damage. The old saying "time is money" applies to the car business. If a dealer has to spend days or weeks getting a car's body- work done, it will hurt the value. And sales managers aren't body shop specialists. They may deduct on the high side for body damage so as not to bewrong. - Many times these cars are wholesaled and the num- ber of wholesalers willing to Sbuy a wrecked car is mini- mal. The exception to this is an old clunker; where the repairs would not help much. 3) Research your payoff. It is much simpler to have the exact amount and not trade based on an estimate, where you are responsible for any shortfall. Ask for a 10- day payoff to give time for a payoff to be processed. 4) Bring your title, if the car is paid for. Most people now shop just over two deal- ers and trade. Be prepared by having your title. It shows- you are serious and can help you negotiate a better deal. 5) Bring your up to date registration card, insurance information and driver's license. You will need these' and can save a trip back to the dealer. 6) Research wholesale or trade-in value if it makes you more comfortable. Basically, know what ...i.- your expec- tations might be. Don't look r at retail val- ...ues or ask- ing prices I in the paper, as EFFER'S they are CORNER not rele- vant. 7) Don't Rick Keffer work num- bers until you are ready to act. Buyers get better quotes than shop- pers in any industry, and the car business is no exception. 8) Address key mechani- cal faults. Brakes that are squeaking and spent hurt a trade value. Get them fixed. Check engine or other dash lights can hurt. I once had to spend $6,000 to fix a check engine light on a Land Rover. While that is an extreme example, check engine and brake light repairs can be minor or very expensive. Guess what an appraiser has to assume? 9) Good tires help, but aren't a must. Most dealers get good buys on tires. On high-end or big truck mod- els, tires cost a bundle and you can expect a deduction for trades in need. 10) Weigh the benefits of trading. Today's market favors the consumer with the best historical trade values in many years. Fewer new cars sold and leased the last few years have created a short- age. It is a trader's market. Get your ducks in a row and go help the economy by trading cars. Your local new and used car dealers will appreciate the opportunity. Even if you don't trade, get your vehicle up to speed so when the itch comes, you can be ready. Back to school is coming in just weeks, so enjoy the rest of summer.

Cashiers busted The Nassau County Sheriff's Office last week found five local retail stores to be in violation of laws regarding the sale of tobacco or alcohol to minors. According to police re- ports, confidential underage informants were sent into local retail stores last week to attem- pt to buy tobacco or alcohol. An informant under the age of 21 was sent into the. Kangaroo store at 540251 US 1 in Callahan and bought a 24- ounce can of Tilt alcohol ener- gy drink. At the Yulee One Stop store at 850409 SR 200 In Yulee, an underage buyer bought a 23.5-ounce can of Four Loko alcoholdrinik Both cashiers working at the stores were issued a crim- inal summons for selling alco- hol to a person under the age. of 21 and released pending a court date. Informants under the age of 18 were also sent into retail stores to purchase tobacco products last week. One bought Grizzly Long Cut Straight tobacco from a cashier at the Kangaroo store at 1403 Lewis St., Fernandina Beach;another bought a can of Peach Kayak Longcut tobacco from a cashier at the Kangaroo store at 1484 Nassauville Road in Nassau- ville; and an informant bought a can of Grizzly Longcut Straight tobacco from a cash- ier at the Hess store at 3100 SR 200 in Ferhandina Beach. All three cashiers were issued criminal summons for selling tobacco to a minor and released pending a court date. Breakers stolen According to a Nassau County Sheriffs Office report, a breaker box was stolen from a Pigeon Creek residence July 9. The victim called police after she came home from work around 10 p.m. and found someone had stolen four electric breakers from the breaker box next to her resi- dence. When police arrived, she told them the breakers had been in working order at 12:30 p.m. the same day, and that her son had burglarized the ,residence several days earli- er. Body found A body found June 11 in a wooded area behind Kmart at 1525 Sadler Road in Fernan- dina Beach has been identi- fied as that of George Michael Yarbrough, 68. According to City Police Chief Jim Hurley, Yarbrough was found at 10:55 a.m. Hurley gave Yarbrough's address as 1316 Beech St. Hurley said Yarbrough appeared at the scene to have died of natural causes, and so far there is nothing suspicious about his death, pending a report from the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office. adaughtry@lfbneuvsleadercomn POLICE REPORT 50% off Ladies, Petites & Women's sportswear 50% off Dresses Prices starting at 17.46 S30% off Famous maker solid knit shirts JULY HOME SALE 50% off Entire stock Famous American Designer pillows & mattress pads Now 4.96-29.96 compare at $20-$1 20 4-Piece comforter sets Now 74.96 to 114.96 USE THESE COUPONS TO SAVE MORE!

JULY 15.2011 OPINION News-Leader Why sudden outrage? Wqe live in a land where the law says a mother may kill her child and over 50 million American mothers have taken advantage of that law. Oh, but this is different! This child - Caylee Anthony was alive. So is the child in the womb. What mother with a womb mate cannot feel that life within her kicking and moving? Caylee Anthony was not entirely defenseless. If some- one did indeed kill her, she had little fists and feet that perhaps flailed and fought extermination. She had a voice that could scream. The child in the womb has no such advantages. That child has no way to protect itself from the invading abortion- ist's weaponry. However sad and inade- quate, Caylee had a burial of sorts, whereas aborted babies wind up in trash cans or, in the case of a failed abortion, Left on a cold slab unattended . until it does die. Where is the outrage over these murders? Are we a nation of hypocrites or are we just blind? If we could insert a video cam in an occupied womb; watch the infant on the inside moving, growing, devel- oping, would righteous out- rage assert itself? The war in the womb has taken more lives than were lost in Russia, the United States, Germany and Italy combined during World War II, which is Peggy consid- ered the Stanton deadliest --- *** =- and most destruc- tive con- THE WAY flict in WE ARE human. history. What has America lost in those snuffed out future citi- zens? Was there a scientist who would have found the cure for AIDS, for Alzheim- ers? Was there a president *who would have been a great, peacemaker?.Was there a bril- liant author? An artist to rival Michaelangelo? Fifty to 100 years from now, future civilizations will study our.civilization and they will ask the question that we now ask about Nazi Germany. How could a country have allowed the slaughter of soQ many innocents? It was a question asked at the trials of. Nazi leaders in Nuremburg. Dr. Leo Alexander, one of the two American medical experts present, answered it this-way, "Whatever proportions these crimes finally assumed, it' became evident that they started with small beginnings - a subtle shift in thought - the attitude that there is such a thing as a life not worthy to be lived." Blessed Teresa of Calcutta put it even more directly at a Presidential Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., when she asked the audience, "If a mother can kill the baby in her womb, what is it for you and I to kill one another?" Here is a question even Defense Attorney Jos6 Baez never thought to ask. If Casey Anthony was so anxious to have "la bella vita the beauti- ful life" as advertised in a tat- too on her arm, why did she not get rid of Caylee before Caylee emerged from the womb when society would have sanctioned her killing as "choice"? -Finally, is it not safe to say that if any one of those 12 jurors had an abortion in their past they would have been very hesitant to condemn Casey for.taking a life when they themselves had done the same thing? What we need -in this America of Reality TV is to have our eyes rubbed raw by the reality of abortion. Pro'life people argue that abortion will not end until we force ourselves to look at, the scarred, scalded and bloodied corpses of aborted babies who will-never have a skilled lawyer to try mothers who hired a doctor not to .deliver them, but to destroy them. If the tragedy of Caylee Anthony's death begins to end our blindness, and deny us our denial to the horror of over a million American babies being murdered every year, then maybe that beauti- ful little girl won't have died in vain. Peggy Stanton is a former resident ofAmelia Island and former president of Nassau Federated Republican Women. Her late husband Bill Stanton was a Member of Congress from Ohio for 18 years. She was a correspondent for ABC News in Washington, D.C. VIEWPOINT/ROBERT M. WEINTRAUB/MARSH LAKES 'Entitlements' are just "Entitlements" has become a dirty word. Fiscal conservatives through their' public statements, letters to newspapers, blogs, social media rants, etc. have creat- ed the impression that people on Social Security, Medicare and government pensions are the cause of the precari- ous financial condition of our federal, state and local gov- ernments. They call for deep cuts in these programs in the name of "deficit reduction." What is missing in the dis- cussion is the fact that these "entitlements" have been paid for and/or earned. Social Security and Medicare do not even contribute to the national debt so should not be part of the discussion. The fiscal conservatives use sev- eral misstatements of fact to support their position: 1. The Social Security pro- gram is, broke. Not true! At the end of 2010 the Social Security trust fund had a bal- ance of.$2.6 trillion. With interest and continued contri- butions by current workers, by'2022 the fund will have a b;il:inc.-f $3.6,7 trillion. After lhat yvea. without any changes, the fund will gradu- ally decline because there will- be more people collect- ifi'gocial Security benefits i han will be contributing to She fund The reserves will be enough to pay full benefits through 2036. Since when is , it a crisis when a government program'will be solvent for 25 years? Social Security has not only been the most effective government program, it has been the most responsible government program. The program's costs are funded out of its own dedicated money stream. It cannot bor- row money, therefore does not contribute to the national ddbt, It could not be better managed. Administrative costs are .09 cents per dollar. It returns more than 99 cents for every dollar it collects. Minor changes, such as increasing the salary limit on which Social Security contri- butions are based, will extend the fund's reserves far into the future. 2. Social Security recipi- ents are living on the backs of their children and grand- children. Not true! Since 1935 workers and their employers have been paying into the program. Virtually everyone on Social Security today and the "boomers" beginning to receive benefits iscollecting their own money. In 1935 the govern- ment made a contract with Americans that in return for contributions during their working years they will be "entitled" to payments begin- ning when they reach retire- ment age (67 for those born after 1960 as result of a 1983 change). Fiscal conservatives want'to unilaterally break that contract. 3. Medicare is too costly and must be curtailed to reduce the national debt. Fiscal conservatives conve-' niently ignore the fact that most people on Medicare made contributions to the fund through payroll deduc- tions from 1965to retire- ment, and continue to pay into the fund after retire- ment. The fund is projected - to be solvent until 2024; therefore it is not contribut-. ing to the current national debt. The money paid by the government to cover Medicare bills is the benefici- aries' own money to which they are entitled. Ending Medicare as we ,know it, the plan of the fiscal, conservatives that was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives (but not the Senate) this year, would be the same as canceling a long- term health insurance policy after you've paid for it over 45 years. Medicate is a health insurance contract between the government and the peo- ple. To'assure the fund's long-term solvency we should curtail healthcare costs rather than Medicare benefits. Taking the "profit" out of health care is one approach. Why should peo- ple get seven-figure profits out of health services such as MRIs? Why are prescription drugs so much more costly in the U.S. than anywhere else? Change the system that rewards doctors and hospi- tals for the number of "proce- dures" or "visits" to one that rewards them for the quality of care they give. There are many ideas to reduce Medicare costs, such as a Massachusetts program that has reduced costly emer- gency room visits by 22 per- cent. 4. Government pensioners feed at the public trough. Again, the fiscal conserva- tives ignore the basic fact behind government pen- sions: they were offered in lieu of higher wages. For most of the past century, peo- ple were attracted to govern- ment jobs despite low pay because of the pensions offered. For 25 years my uncle trudged along as a postal carrier, "in snow and rain and heat and gloom of night," at a low wage because he was promised a pension when he retired. Now the fis- cal conservatives want to reduce that pension that was promised him and to which he is "entitled" for his 25 years of work. Again, this is a breachof contract. For years governments local, state, federal- have benefited fiom low wages because of the pensions they offered. In negotiations with public Employee unions they "sweetened the pension pie" tokeep wage increases low. These.governments were supposed to establish funds to finance the pensions they promised. Now they want to renege on their promises either to raid the pension funds to cover other govern- ment costs, or because they failed to fully fund pension- reserves. - "Entitlements" means just that; they have been paid for. and earned. Fiscal cofiserva- tives must look elsewhere for "smaller government" and "deficit reduction." 3 S, CS IK NLT5PTPI Bean NEW LEADER 1 School of Dance & Gymnaestics I Gymiss Just take a moment and fill out our Reader's Survey of your favorite places SwimsMnOaimeesI and become eligible for a $250 cash drawing on July 29h, 2011. 2010 Fal AAll survey forms must be received at the News-Leader no later than July 29'", 2011 and be Augo Registratioo 75% completed.

SPORTS EDITOR TOM WOOD CHAIRMAN DINK NESMITH PRESIDENT CN Community Newspapers, Incorporated Potato souo for the soul Providence graces us when we least expect it, and quite often when we're in need of a little mental boost or smile. My better angels brought me a care package this week in the form of a Facebook greeting from an old friend. I was feeling a little blue before I opened it. By the time I was done reading it, the tears streaming down my face were the product of the gut-busting laugh I'd just had. The best gifts are those you least expect, and usually they're free. Her name's Martha. I'll not give away her last name. We've known each other since first grade when we attended a little Catholic ele- mentary and junior high school in a little town in a little county in a little corner of South. Georgia. I thought she was one of the prettiest girls in school but, being terrified of the oppo- site sex during much of those formative years, I found it hard to even talk to her without my tongue getting caught between the gaps in my teeth. She had a quick smile, as sudden as a ray of sunshine and hair like the silken chest- nut mane you might find on one of the fine horses she favored. On the socioeconomic scale of our little town, Martha's folks were considered, in the polite term of the day, well to do. But that did- n't matter to Martha. She romped through everyone's life like a playful filly whether their daddies wore overalls or suits. I've not seen her since our 10th high school class reunion. And then night before last, just when I needed something to make me smile, she reached S out from her Paso Fino horse farm in Iowa and tickled my funny bone. She said hello and jumped right into a remembrance of my late mama's homemade potato soup. At lunchtime, all the kids in the school, first CUP OF through eighth grade and JOE there really weren't that ... many of us now that I think about it all sat down togeth- Joe Palmer er. There was a hierarchy and pecking order, of course, though the always watchful nuns kept the order. And it was sort of a custom that you could swap your lunch with another kid if he or she had something you craved and vice versa. Martha craved some of my mama's potato soup and hatched a scheme to get it. Knowing that I probably wouldn't be tempted by the soggy pineapple sandwich which we kids sometimes derisively called "Hawaiian Hamburgers" in her lunch pail, she contrived with her older and wiser sister to bribe me. I love ice cream. Always have. A pleasant death for me would be to fall face first into a vat of Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia and burst while trying to eat my way out of it. I . And so it was that Martha and her older sis- ter hatched the ice cream caper. We had vend- ing machines in the cafeteria that actually dis- pensed cups of ice cream and ice cream sand- wiches for a dime a king's ransom to a third grader, for sure. Martha's sister gave her a dime. Martha deposited said dime in the ice cream vending machine and came back to our table bearing it like a crown of jewels on a silk cushion. And thus it came to be, to Martha's great dismay, when she returned bearing ice cream with which to tempt me out of mama's tater soup, there I sat snarfing down a big hunk of homemade cake one df the Boyle brothers brought while one of the Boyle brothers slurped down mama's soup. I'd completely forgotten this tale until two nights ago and I've been laughing about it ever since. Sometimes the best friends are the ones you rarely see but somehow seem to sense, even across great distances, that what you need more than a bowl of your mama's home- made potato soup is a smile and a laugh. And somehow, Lord knows how, they always mar- age to provide. I wonder if Martha remembers cornering me at our-eighth-grade graduation party and making me dance with her. It was a slow one, Bobby Goldsboro singing "Honey." Martha sang softly in my ear. I had two left feet and goose bumps as big as bon bons. First she tried ice cream. Then she tried honey. She never did get that potato soup. Hey, Martha, old friend. Soup's on. You bring the ice cream. Cherry Garcia, please. treysurf@comcast.net VOICE OF THE PEOPLE MikeThompson replies Heavily influenced by such ultral- iberal icons as Democrat Congress - creatures Anthony Weiner, Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel, plus President Obama, the critics of my factual op-ed essay for the News-Leader ("Keep the library, fire the librarians," May 24) probably have set a publish- ing record for obfuscation, mendacity and sheer foolishness.' Not one letter writer challenged my facts that prove the unfairness, self-described "militant radicalism" and far-left, anti-social bias of the American Library Association and its obedient Fernandina Beach library members. Instead, my unglued local critics unleashed a pathetic ad hominem attack on me, the bearer of incontestable, damning information about their sacred cows and wicked causes. My critics' simple-but-transparent strategy is this: Forget facts, but destroy the messenger, whose report is too powerful and correct. . Fortunately for buth douui C, i'iLI- nity aid nation;,sucl rabid pivarica- tors as my would-be detractors are a distinct political and social minority. I predict they will sink irretrievably deeper'into their demonic fever swamp come the night of Nov. 6, 2012. Mike Thompson Fernandina Beach Digawell I feel I must respond to the misin- formation provided in ("Fairness," July 8). The writer mocks, the city of Fernandina Beach's attempts to get relief from the county commission for services- its residents 'are paying for twice as city residents and as coun- ty residents. The writer compares this with an unsuccessful county attempt sometime in the past to have the city- owned water utility drop its 25 percent surcharge on non-city residents'water bills. He questions the legality or per- haps "fairness" of the surcharge and states it is based on an "obscure" Florida law that allows the 25 percent surcharge for "customers outside a municipality who request access to a city utility." He describes the law as ,'mute" concerning himself (and oth- ers) who were already customers when the city bought the water utility and presumably he feels he is "unfair- ly" overpaying for his water. Fascinating reading though lack- ing in accuracy and facts. There is nothing questionable about the water surcharge. The statute in question is ES. 180.191 and the only thing "obscure" about it is that the writer has' apparently not read it and offers his own description of it with his'own self-serving spin and wording. The statute clearly states that "the munic- ipality may add a surcharge of not more than 25 percent of such rates, fees and charges to consumers out- side the boundaries." Period. Inclusion of the wording "customers outside a municipality who request access to a city utility" in the statute does sound vaguely like the surcharge was intend- ed to be limited only to new customers except this wording and nothing ii_-n iui iilari in the statute btt exists purely in the writer's mind. The surcharge is assessed by sev- eral cities across Florida (it is hardly unusual) and application of it has been challenged on several occasions for one reason or another. The courts have been emphatic that cities can col- lect these surcharges as a return on their investment and to cover extra costs they may have to serve non-res- idents (and do not have to quantify these costs). Actually the writer should be thank- ful for this "obscure" law as one of its objectives was to limit'how much of a surcharge these cities could charge. ,The fact that the writer was a preex- isting customer when the city pur- chased the utility or that.the city may have overpaid for the utility is just side chatter and of no relevance to appli- cation bf the statute. If the county attor- ney seriously thought this was "ques- tionable," as the writer states, then it should have been challenged in court. JOHN DARKOW/COLUMBIA (MO.) DAILYTRIBUNE Interesting that it was not. Why should a city resident pay the same rate for water as a non-resident? We own the utility and are paying extra property taxes for its acquisition. The - writer does not. Using the writer's flawed logic he would ultimately be paying less for city-owned water than city residents pay. How does he figure that is fair? Bottom line there's noth- ing improper, unusual or questionable about the surcharge. If you don't want city water, dig a well. On his other point, I don't think he needs to seriously-worry about the county commission offering the city of Fernandina Beach any monetary relief regardless of the water surcharge issue. The county has no obligation to reimburse the city for services the city decided on its own that it will also provide- and the city has no obligation to keep providing these services. Asking the county for relief is fine (good luck with that) but the city should not think that it has no cards to play if this is rejected. If the city commission thinks it is overpaying for law enforcement, fire protection, rescue services, etc., and that its agreements with the county are unfairly one-sided, I suggest it stop whining and reassess how these are handled and were negotiated. No oqe forced the city to sign these,agree- ments. Instead of nibbling at the edges at budget time the city ought to be doing a major reassessment of how it does business. If we are already paying the county for various services is it essen- tial that these services are also pro- vided by the city? Why? Richard Cain Fernandina Beach Kudos Many thanks lastWednesday to our local Fire Rescue EMTs from 911 dis- patch to their exceptionally quick appearance at Lowe's-about 10 min- utes later to assist my husband, stabi- lize him and remove him to the trauma center at Shands. Such responsiveness and professionalism makes all the dif- ference in a time of emergency. Thanks as well to'all the Lowe's personnel who responded to my calls for assistance. You will not be forgotten. Mildred Ryan (For the Ryan family) Fernandina Beach VIEWPOINT/ADAM KAUFFMAN/FERNANDINA BEACH 19-cent solution: Forward Fernandil Let's have a cup of coffee and talk. Some would say that this conver- sation with its unresolved questions has been ongoing for 13 years and date it to the Vision 2000 exercise - others suggest that it has been a recurring and incessant discussion for 26 years or more: Can we invest in and complete the waterfront, revitalize downtown, work toward improving Eighth Street and address the needs of neighbor- hoods surrounding the downtown core? There has been general and con- tinuing agreement that these commu- nity concerns must be addressed. The city, over time, has wavered from the thought for the day to concept of the month. It has dithered and delayed, lingered and waited, in quest of unattainable unanimity among concerned citizens as to ele- ments of proposed plans. What has been absent is an agreed upon cohe- sive and comprehensive plan and a considered, deliberate and unified strategy to meet and remediate these long identified needs: a strategic design for revitalization and improve- ment. The city manager's proposed five- year Forward Fernandina Strategic Plan now before the commission is that design. The plan ensures the most effective use of the city's limited resources by focusing resources, both financial and human, on key pri- orities, measuring results and suc- cess over time. It is a plan by which the city administration and the com- mission can be evaluated and held accountable. A strategy and management plan that meets the identified needs of the city is an absolute imperative it is even more critical when, as now, resources are constricted. This is true notwithstanding what the time- line for completion of projects may be or whether funding in.support of the plan comes from general tax rev- enue, federal sources or private grants and/or by debt issuance. People want to live in, and busi- nesses want to invest in, communi- ties than invest in their own quality of life. Investment in revitalization pro- tects property values and boosts the economic health of a community. It is evidence of a community's dedica- tion, caring and commitment. The F2 strategic plan provides a structure and the direction to move forward in addressing the city's needs. It is a beginning, a flexible framework, in support of Fernandina's unique strengths and character. Adoption of the plan and establish- ing a source of funding does not end the discussion with the community on the longstanding issues of recreat- ing the waterfront and making it an object of civic pride, revitalizing downtown, improving Eighth Street and addressing the needs of neigh- borhoods; rather, it provides the abili- ty to make those discussions mean- Singful, productive and concrete. Yes, the revitalization design envi- sioned by the F2 strategic plan is a challenging endeavor and yes, it does require the allocation of funds.

In adopting the F2 five-year strate- gic plan, and in funding that plan, with its performance measures and outcomes in place, the commission will be meetingits charter responsi- bilities to act in the interest of the city now and for the future. Undeniably, there are many skeptics; even those who support the Forward Fernandina plan and its vision may have unrealistic expectations and frustrations. Yet, finally embarking on this plan to revitalize the city of Fernandina Beach is unquestionably worth the exercise of political will and the investment of resources, time and energy. The non-profit Amelia Island Fernandina Restoration Foundation has partnered with the city of Fernandina Beach in the Forward Fernandina undertaking. The founda- tion's commitment in this public/pri- vate partnership does not end with the adoption of the plan. The founda- tion has committed to dedicate its efforts and resources to the plan's implementation. For an average cost of less than the price of a cup of coffee per week, we can begin to do what this commu- nity has agreed, time and again, needs to be done. In the words of Peter Drucker: "Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes ... but no plans." Adam Kaufman is president of the Amelia Island Fernandina Restoration Foundation. . p ~~ tii~~ji~iC~I8~8~ FRIDAY.

Each day, we are faced with people who cannot control their anger, and when they lose their temper, they embarrass themselves and cause ill feelings to others. Although anger is a normal emotion for self-preservanon, control or this emotion Is necessary for getting along in ou society. Even though we al may gel angry for one reason or another when we pot our lives and those around us in jeopardy, we are not acting as God v.wuld want us to. We should concentrate on what m.iaes us upset, and realize that when our anger causes us to be out of control we are not only hurting ourselves, but those around us.

News Leader *" Most people associate the Salvation Army with feeding and helping needy people and ringing bells at Christmas, but they may not be aware of a small office in Yulee, where the Salvation Army offers help and support to those con- victed of misdemeanor offens- es. Programs for prisoners are not new to the Salvation Army, whose founder, William Booth, was knocking on doors of pris- ons in 1852 offering to help newly released offenders. Petty theft of less than $300, simple battery, criminal mis- chief, DUI'and other misde- meanors are usually punished with one year in jail and up to a $500 fine. In 1974 the Florida Legislature removed the power to supervise probations of those who commit misde- meanor offenses from the State Parole and Probation Commission. This left the courts without an agency to supervise these offenders. The following year, proba- tion supervision was assigned by Duval County Judge Major Harding to The Salvation Army in Jacksonville. After garnering favorable reviews, the program expand- ed to include other counties, resulting in passage of The Salvation Army Act by the leg- islature in 1978. Director of Salvation Army Correctional Services Colleen Reardon said, "We offer a holis- tic approach by helping them get a skill, do meetings if they need drug or alcohol counsel- ing, feeding them and helping them find hous- ing." The Salvation Army Correctional Services also helps clients with mental health issues find the assis- tance they require. Individuals at the Yulee office are most often' referred to Hope House at 410 S. Ninth St. 'n Fernandina Beach, with its social services and food pantry. Jacksonville referrals HEATHER.

"We work with individuals to address the economic, social and emotional issues in the family as well as the court ordered probation," said Reardon. One recent program has individuals referred to county departments with projects as opposed to jail time as recom- mended by the judge..

FLORIDA No offseason for Hornets' Rainey, Henry BETH JONES News Leader There's little downtime for football players even in the offseason. Especially for Yulee's Kelvin Rainey and Derrick "Shocka" Henry. Rainey was offered a full ride to play football at South Carolina and verbally accept- ed. "The program is really good," said the 18-year-old incoming senior at Yulee High School. 'The campus is really nice. It's a little town like Yulee, so it won't be in a different environment. '"The thing that really got me was the academics. It's perfect. It's what I needed. It just got me." Rainey will be trading in his Hornet green and gold for a Gamecock digs in 2012. "Steve Spurrier is one of the best coaches in the nation," Rainey said. "It was a good program last year arid they're always in the top 25." But before he can focus on his freshman year in South Carolina, Rainey has his final season as a Hornet ahead of him. "We're not going to be as big, but we're going to be big- ger and faster," Rainey said. "I expect.us to come out and hit people hard." The Hornets aren't shying away from the competition either. They take on state champion Buford in a game televised on ESPN. 'They're a talented foot- ball team," Rainey said. "Big, physical, fast. No one we can't hang with. It will be a chal- lenge. "When you face Bolles every year, you prepare your- self for the best." Teammate Henry, who will be. junior this fall, was among the nation's elite play- ers attending "The Opening," Nike and ESPN's invitation- only showcase of the top 150 athletes in the country. Henry qualified in Orlan- do this spring after posting a 123 SPARQ rating at a com- bine. 'The Opening" was held July 5-9 and consisted of test- ing, training and competition among the athletes. The SPARQ competition was held on July 6 and broadcast on ESPN U. In the preliminary testing, Henry qualified in the top 10 with a score of 134.19. Henry PHOTOS BY BETH JONES/NEWS-LEADER Kelvin Rainey, left, is wrapped up by a teammate during the spring scrimmage game at Yuiee High School. Derrick "Shocka" Henry, right, dodges opponents during the jamboree in Callahan. scored a record-setting score of 138.51 in the finals, but three others posted higher' scores: Landon Collins of Louisiana posted the high score at 143.76. Henry finished fourth overall. "Outstanding, considering A. only three underclassmen were invited," said J.T. Medley, assistant coach at Yulee High School and both players' former middle school coach. 'The rest will be sen- lors next season." SPlayers received instruc-. tion from NFL and former NFL players on the second day. Among the high-profile instructors were Jerry Rice, Jonathan Stewart, Dwayne Bowe; Joe Haden, Patrick Peterson and Ray Rice. Skill players and linemen were broken up into teams for lineman competition and seven-on-seven on the final two days of the event. Vidal Alexander of Georgia finished as the top lineman at the event. Henry's team, Team Alpha Talon, won the seven-on-seven national championship, edging Team Vapor Carbon 12-7. 'Henry was not only the most valuable player on the all-Nassau County football team last season, he earned all-First Coast offensive play- er of the year honors and was named MaxPreps' national, sophomore of the yeai. The awards were justified with Henry rushing for 2,788 yards and 39 Hornet touch- downs. Rainey was also on the all- county football team. He had 20 receptions for 415 yards and four scores at wide receiver. As a linebacker for Yulee, Rainey had 77 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. SUBMITTED PHOTOS Henry, left, placed fourth overall at "The Opening," Nike and ESPN's invitation- only showcase of the nation's top ath- letes. Rainey, above, oh his first visit to South Carolina. Mountain climbing, whitewaterraftingforpair ofbeach boys My son Parker and I recently went away to the mountains of North Carolina to try our hands at some mountain adventures. It was the firsttime we had done any such trip together.' The first step was finding the right guide to help us with the trip. After doing my research, I found Joe Moerschbaecher with Pura Vida Adventures (pvadventures.com) to assist us. Joe holds a master's degree in adventure recreation from Ohio University and has taught col- lege courses in climbing, kayaking, mountain biking '" and backpacking. He holds S certifications as a Wilderness S First Responder, an American S Canoe Association Swiftwater Rescue Instructor and an American Canyoneering SPODTS Association guide. Joe was exactly who I was MEDICINE looking for. As you can imag- ine, I am big on experience GREGORY and safety. SMITH. M.D. Our first day would be spent rocking climbing at ... Looking Glass Rock, a 600- foot bare-faced wall in the Pisgah National Forest in Brevard near Asheville. At the bottom of the mountain, there is a trail which climbs 1,700 feet over a three-mile hike and typically takes about.two hours to traverse. For those less adventurous, there is road access with only a short hike to the rock. This was my first experience rock climbing. Joe went up first, securing the safety ropes. Then we were off. I've tried the rock climbing walls at gymnasiums and outdoor parks, but this was totally different. You have to find your spots of access, determining exactly where to grab on to get your hold or where to wedge your foot in order to propel yourself up. It is very physical, but very fun. We did sec- tional climbs of 150 up and then back down. I made three runs, but my son'did it six times. It was great. We then moved to another area for our first try at rappelling. We walked up a hill and then were faced with a 75-foot cliff straight down to the bottom. slsBEBssaap ~BI~~ V.g~:,,l''is 8""~ SUBMR11-TE PIIOTOS Gregory Smith and son Parker tackle a waterfall on a recent outdoor adventure trip. Joe secured the ropes, got me into my har- ness and, after a brief instruction, basically said, "Go ahead." Standing on the edge of that cliff, it takes a lot of trust in the rope to simply lean back and start lowering yourself down. Within my first 10 feet of descent', Joe yells down to me, "You -seem a little tense," which of course was almost comical. I thought, "Of course, I'm tense. I'm dangling 75 feet in the air with my spine pointed straight to the ground." However, I did become more comfortable and, after a couple of runs, it became quite enjoyable. Parker loved it as well and actually seemed less nervous than I did. Day two would involve what is considered "canyoneering." This basically was a nice hike through the Cougar Canyon forest, climbing up the mountain to find a river and then mak- ing your way out,. following it downstream. We came to a beautiful waterfall with only one way down, rappelling. It was fantastic. I was much more comfortable at this point and climbing down with the water rushing beside me was absolutely breathtaking. Parker did great and Joe was very happy for him as well, telling him he was the youngest to ever navi- gate the climb. Caving would fill the next day. We traveled about an hour and a half into Johnson City, Tenn., to explore Worley's Cave. Our trek would take us four and a half hours to travel a mile and a half. It was like being on the moon. With only a helmet and a headlamp we made our way through the cave. It was a very physical journey; we had to watch each step in order to avoid tripping, falling at times hav- ing to climb up some 15 feet and crawling. Lots and lots of crawling and lots of tight spaces. At times we had to crawl flat on our .. Ill. -,through an opening of just 14 inches for about 50-60 feet. By the end, we were tired and extremely muddy but were thrilled with the experience. Our final outing was a little less strenuous, whitewater rafting on the French Broad River. While the surroundings are absolutely gor- geous and calming, there were class two. and three rapids to quicken your pulse. This was a really good way to end the trip. We contemplated adding a mountain biking outing at the last minute, but were simply too tired for more. This was a great trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to do some- thing a little different and a little outside their comfort zone. 7Tis column is written to discuss issues regarding sports, medicine and safety.

FRIDAY July 15.2011/News-Leader HOMES Milkweed worthy of any garden Q believe I have the Mexican milkweed in my garden and would like to replace it. Online I see Asclepias tuberosa and Asclepias lanceolata as well as the incarnata. Which one should I choose? MH A Almost all of Florida's 21 milkweeds are native, and at least two of them are native only to Florida (endem- ic). Milkweeds are frequently encountered throughout the' state, and the rest of North America. Different species are found in very wet habitats as well as in very dry ones. BA few of the butterfly GARDEN weed listed TALK: here are com- monly found in Florida so Beckykordi feel free to choose any of them: Butterfly weed, Asclepias uberose; Florida milkweed, Asclepias longifo- lia; Fewflower milkweed, Asclepias lanceolata; and Pinewoods milkweed, Asclepias humistrata. Swamp milkweed, Asclepias incar- nate, is native to the lower 48 states. Milkweeds grow most abundantly in disturbed habi- tats such as agricultural land- scapes and.along roadsides, but they are in decline for sev- eral reasons. Urban and suburban devel- opment is eliminating monarch habitat by supplanti- ng agricultural landscapes whele an estimated 90 per- cent of milkweeds occur, - therefore we applaud your efforts to add some these to your landscape. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in780 Q.I found a long, brown .striped snake in my yard. I am worried it might the snake might attack me or my pets. How concerned should I be? BP A .This question has actually come to me twice this week so I thought I should write something again about the importance of snakes. The most important thing to do is to stay away from them as most bites and injuries occur when people poke at the snake or try to pick it up. Snakes are not going to chase you down and attack you can definitely out-run them. Even if the snake is not venomous it can bite, so just leave well enough alone. The non-venomous snakes are also keeping our rodent (rat) populations in check and some even eat the venomous snake varieties. It was espe- cially fortuitous for me to have a yellow rat snake end up in my back yard this week- end. The snake was especially patient with me by staying stationary long enough for me to fetch my camera and take a couple of snapshots. The juvenile is very different looking as it has black and white patterns that people often mistake as venomous. Notice the pupil of the eye is round, which is another indi- cation of it not being poison- ous; at least this is true in Southeast Florida. A University of Florida publication titled, "Dealing with Snakes in Florida's Residential Areas Identify- ing Commonly Encountered Snakes" will probably be very helpful when finding stakes in the yard. I would suggest making a copy and having it readily available should the need to identify a snake arise. Visit http://edis.. ifas.ufl.edu/uw258. Q .What is wrong with my .plums? CH A Your plums are showing :.the early stages of brown rot, which is caused by a fungus called Monilina fruc- ticola. Brown rot can attack blooms, fruit, leaves, and stems. It over-winters on blighted stems and mummi- fied fruit. Brown rot can be a prob- lem-during wet weather. I know what you are thinking - we have had very little ain, but remember the spores have been there all along and they are just now causing issues with the fruit. In addition, we create an artificial environment by applying irrigation to the trees sometimes twice a week. It is best to irrigate any tree and shrub at the root, keeping the water off the leaves. Infections will appear as masses of brown to brown- gray spores on infected tissue if left on the tree long enough.:It is important to, . prune the tree in an open vase-shape to encourage good air flow, which reduces the spore problem. At this point, we haveno plum cultivars resistant to brown rot, and fungicide sprays may be necessary dur- ing wet weather or irrigation landscapes. The best time to apply fun- gicide is just at the new leaves are forming, just after flower budding and fruit setting. Use a fungal spray specifically developed for fruit tree species. It is also very important to remove any fruit from the , tree and riot allow it to go from one season to the next. Clean away any leaf, stem and fruit debris from around the base of the tree as SUBMITTED PHOTOS Swamp milkweed, above, is native to the lower 48 states. Brown rot, above, can attack the,blooms, fruit, leaves and stems of plum trees. Snakes including the adult red rat snake, ,above help keep the rodent population in check and should be left 'alone. these can be the source-of the fungal spores, creating the perfect environment for future spore dispersal to the tree.
