Children representing local dance studios, churches, schools and other children's activities were among the more colorful floats in the parade. But there were plenty of salty pirates as well . .. More photos, 12A. Memories of the very first Shrimp Festival CANDY CALDWELL DAWSON For the News-Leader AA the teenaged daughter of the Fernandina Beach News-Leader editor, I had an inside glimpse of the first "Shrimp Boat Festival," as it was called in 1964. My dad, News-Leader publisher and editor Ray Caldwell, had penned a chal- lenge to the residents of our sleepy little fishing village in an editorial dated Aug. 20, 1959. He asked, "Do we want to get into the act?" He was referring to Gasparilla Day in Tampa and the Fiesta of-Five Flags in Pensacola. He went on to say, "Why not something.of this nature here on historic Amelia Island that is steeped in pirate lore, and boasts of being under eight flags?" My dad had a remarkable ability to inspire people and.to think BIG, all while being a soft-spoken Southz'rnI Ii'liliue from N,-w' A1hnn~n, Mi: h.

He had honed his skills as a linotype Operator there and at papers in Mississippi and Tennessee for many years. But my mother, Marjorie, knew of his greater potential and finally so did John Perry of Perry Publications, who sent this modest man into a modest lit- tie newspaper operation that published just once a week to see what he could do. He hit the ground running. Just a short time after arriving, and in the same issue of that editorial chal- lenge, a reader named Mrs. R.S. Adler wrote that she was going to re-subscribe to the local weekly (for $3 per year) because, "The current issue ... is such a great impi ovciiivnt over many recent issues." She went on to sa3, \\'c have always wondered why the News-Leader didn't print local historical articles and stories of places of interest- Your recent issue was most refreshing ..." Digging through the yellowed archives of the News- Leader, I found my father's words foreshadowing the changes that were to come. In an address to the Rotarians he concluded his talk by saying, "A newspaper is you and the.life you lead. It records your birth, your marriage, your successes and your failures. For your newspaper to grow, you must grow first." My dad was always cajoling citizens and businesses to show pride in their community. In his "Just Ramblin" - cblumn, he loved to show support for people like bank president Louis Ferreira when he flew the historic eight flags by "blending the rich history of Amelia Island in with the bank's salute to the 100th anniversary of the signing of the National Bank Act ... (wishing) there were, more of these colorful flags and that they could be exhibited on more occasions, if not permanently, in some strategic local spot." In the next item my dad talked about publicizing the area with more emphasis on the "island angle." Everybody referred to our town as Fernandina, not Fernandina Beach. He realized the beauty of the name Amelia Island and always had an eye and ear toward pro- motion of this place he had come to love. He never liked the pronoun "I" but loved getting other people's names in the paper, so he praised local author T. Howard Kelly for his Esquire magazine article about our area and the. fact that he called his home on the beach "Kels Isle." He later wrote about John Tester speaking up at a MEMORIES Continued on 3A News-Leader publisher and editor Ray Caldwell penned a challenge to residents of the sleepy little fishing village in an editorialAug. 20,1959 Referring to Gasparilla Day in Tampa and the Fiesta of Five Flags in Pensacola, he asked, "Why not something of this nature here on historicAmelia Island that is steeped in pirate lore. and boasts of being under eigft flags?" 1 1 84264 00013 3 News-Leader 159thyear No. 35 Copyrigh t 2013 The Ne/ws Leader Fernandina Bead Printed on 100% iccyclt , newsprint with It y basCd Ink I( I01 I h,1i.

And of course the colorful shrimp boat captains Tringali and Cook. I would come to admire the great work of Beano Roberts as he later came into the picture in a big way. He gives credit to the Jaycees for being his inspiration for'a lifetime of public service, just as the Lions Club did for my dad. Ray Caldwell admired and appreciated each and every one of those people and I know he would be incredibly proud of the citizens of Fernandina Beach for not only sustaining this once humble festival but embrac- ing it, enhancing it and enriching the community in ways he could have only dreamed. Dad passed away in 1992 and is buried in Bosque Bello Cemetery. During this 50th annual Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival, I'll place a few of this year's golden shrimp necklaces around his headstone and say, "Dream on, Daddy, dream on ... and oh, yeah ... how'd I do on get- ting lots of names into the paper today?!" 'Ghost parade' Thursday Local residents miffed by the change in dates for the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival Pirate Parade plan a "ghost parade" in response. The "Woulda Coulda Should Ghost Parade" is scheduled at 6 p.m. Thursday on Ash Street between Fifth and Seventh streets. "Join us in celebrating the Parade that Wasn't," organiz- ers advertised. "Dress like 'a Pirate and get free ,beads from the 'Royal Order of the Red Toenail.'" The traditional Pirate Parade was moved this year from the Thursday evening before Shrimp Festival week- end to the Saturday before. Crowds were large for the parade last Saturday, though not as large as on Thursday evenings in the recent past, and there were about a dozen fewer floats entered, 96 compared to -mo're'thani.l00 in recent years.

Candy Caldwell Dawson is the daughter of former News- Leader editor and publisher Ray Caldwell. Now living in Orlando, Dawson lived in Fernandina Beach from the sixth to the 12th grade, graduating from Fernandina Beach High School in 1966. She is making a documen- tary about the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival for Viva Florida's 500th anniversary of the arrival of Ponce de Leon in the state of Florida. The verse above is from a song that l)awson remembers was sung by resident and teacher George Tyson, and pos- sibly recorded for a festival held in early June to invite tourists to the area. Called the Lion's Club Golden Crown Fiesta, it includ- ed a golf tournament and a his- torical "Romance of Eight Flags" ceremony similar to one held in St. Augustine, the details of Which have been lost, although according to locals it was held at Fort Clinch. Dawson says she also remem- bers a street dance held in the downtown area with a live band. Hurricane Dora, the island's most damaging hurricane in recent decades, hit Amelia Island after the first Shrimp Boat Festival in 1964. Dawson says she and her father, stay- ing at the house on South Fletcher Avenue and ignoring orders to evacuate, eventually made their way to the-News- Leader office for shelter. Dawson says she has not attended the festival since 1966, but is looking forward to the 50th anniversary celebration this year, which she will film for her documentary. "It was a dream my father had of promoting the island," Dawson says. "He would& be amazed at how the island looks now.

Not Good Change #1: The one thing that newcomers to Amelia Island notice is the abundance of trees.

There are other changes to the festival this year (the loca- tion of the food booths and the music stage, the introduc- tion of a beer tent, etc.); each has brought confusion and criticism. - Not Good Change #5: Historic downtown Fernandina Beach is quaint, idyllic and lively. So it makes perfect sense that impromptu street entertainers would fit in nicely. Not here, appar- ently. Complaints from several residents have prompted city officials to mull a law essentially making it unpalatable for street musi- cians to play here. Mean- while, there are apparently constitutional ramifications involving free speech and expression that might come into play. Once again, the city attor- ney has provided suspect advice to city officials in this instance about crafting stipu- lations (a requirement for a permit, a permit fee, etc.) that would practically eliminate these free-wielding musical peddlers. But the fat lady has yet to sing in this evolving stanza. Some things are good the way they are. They don't need to be changed, especially if it is just for the sake of change. So just let things be.

For example, watching a congressional hearing like Benghazi, you come away feeling that the members of Congress seem most inter- ested in their time before the cameras and less interested in probing to get valuable information. Little informa- COACH'S CORNER Howard Pines tion is gleaned but it hardly ever affects their reelec- tion. On the other side, anyone who has been prepped by a lawyer for a trial has heard the phrase, "Never ask ..... a question to which you don't know the answer:" Lawyers who have failed to remember this truth have suffered the conse- quences. However, in business it is very different. Questions are the lifeblood of good results and avoiding Tailure. Since many executives are driven by their objectives, they use meetings as the means to achieve what they want, rather than to develop the facts. Therefore, they see questions as a distraction, slowing down the process, rather than a way to flesh out concerns or what is really being said. This is also true with salespeople. Once they think that they have a deal, they are trained to move on so as to not allow for a mis- step. However, sometimes the individual that the sales- person is addressing still must sell the deal to someone else in the organization. So unless the salesperson under- stands and addresses any concerns of the ultimate deci- Questions are the lifeblood of go( results and avoiding failure. *sion maker, the deal may fall apart. Many individuals in busi- ness situations also shy away from asking questions. First of all, they are afraid of look- ing dumb. In addition, if they believe the boss doesn't like questions, they don't want to risk his or her ire. Lastly, many executives would rather speak than listen, so why ask questions? Obviously, when conduct- ing a job interview, asking good questions is the best way to get at whether the candidate is qualified. How- ever, while having individuals report what they accomplish- ed is helpful, asking the indi- vidual to describe how they accomplished something is much more productive. It is also important that the candidate ask smart questions. First of all, they need to find out about the job responsibilities and what they are getting into if they get hired. Second, it indicates to the recruiter that the can- didate is really interested in more than just getting hired. Recently a former client called to discuss his being recruited for a new CEO position. He felt he had done well with the recruiting com- mittee and all of the board members. He was surprised and concerned that they were now having him inter- view with the executive VP of HR, a woman he knew I had done business with in my for- mer life. He asked if I had any suggestions. I replied that if he could get her talk- ing 75 percent of the time about the company's issues and the culture, she would love him for the job. He did and she became his biggest fan. If you are the senior per- son in the room; the others desiring your approval may find you intimidating, and be afraid to speai:up. In addi- tion, since.we,1f1'isttn through our own'value sys- tem, understanding where the other person is coming from is harder than we sus- pect.

Food truck at shrimpfest with 'InnovAsian cuisine' SEATTLE InnovAsian Cuisine is embarking on a mobile tasting tour providing samples of its innovative and mouthwatering Asian meals to Atlanta and select Florida cities via an experiential food truck. Throughout May, a food truck sponsored by InnovAsian Cuisine will be coasting the highways and making stops at various large festivals in the Southeast.

The food truck will be locat- ed at the Shrimp Festival this weekend at the corner of Centre and North Fifth streets. Hours are Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. "We know we make the most delicious frozen Asian meals and we want consumers to taste it to believe it," said Mark Phelps, co-founder and president of InnovAsian. "Our frozen meals are so appealing because you can make them in the comfort of your home for your family and friends." InnovAsian's vibrantly plum- colored food truck touts that "Adventure awaits those willing to try 'another, course" and encourages consumers to "#takeIN" by demonstrating that InnovAsian Cuisine is just as savory and delicious as take out from any restaurant, The food truck will sample two fam- ily-style entrees, General Tso's Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken, along with one side dish, Chicken Fried Rice.

"Food trucks are a unique way for the consumer to truly experience the taste, texture and flavor in the way the food is meant to be prepared," said Jonell Walden, director of events and experiential marketing. . In addition to appearing at major events, such as the Flicks and Food Trucks in Tampa, the food truck will also be making special "#takelN" deliveries to select neighborhoods through- out the southeast.

POW T .ALAA0 :,SAT.,M" 11, 2013 In. 3mm OPINION WEDNSI)DAY, MAY 1, 2013/NEWS-LEADER VIEWPOINT/JOHN JOSEPH CASCONE/FERNANDINA BLACil Shrimp Festival:'To hell with traditions "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another and to assume" the rights of a citizen of Fernandina Beach "a decent respect to the opinions" of others requires a statement as to the problems that "impel them to the separation." "We hold these truths to be self-evident," that Shrimp Festival always was, and still should be in the year of its Golden Anniversary, a local celebration dedicated to the beauty of our community and the treasures of nature we are all here to enjoy. It does not matter about other shrimp festivals whether in Gulfport, Ala., Beaufort, S.C., or Port Arthur, Texas. Their ideas and moneymaking efforts are for their community, ours has -never been about that. Locals accept with open arms the 'nonprofits who sell food to fund their annual operations * and the Shrimp Festival Committee gets a small per- 'centage to cover the costs of the festival. The community benefits, as a whole, because ,the band parents and church groups and Rotary and all the other nonprofits help the community throughout the year. Where does beer fit in? After all, we are now ignor- ing the lessons of history and will again have free-flowing alcoholic beverages in the public places of our communi- ty. Why? To make money for the Shrimp Festival Committee! Pure and, simple. There can be no other reason that the filthy lucre associated with the public sale of alcohol at a "formerly" family-oriented festival. But now Sandy Price has seen the monies to be made from the Gulf Coast Festival and its alcohol sales and those related dollar signs now drive the bus. The lessons of history can be confirmed with the city commissioners who passed the law banning public con- sumption of alcohol years ago following incidents of drunk- en raucousness. Check with Larry Boatright- he was a commissioner, president of the chamber and chairman of the festival when the events led to the passage of an ordi- nance that stopped the public consumption and refocused the festival to the family-ori- ented event it has been for the last three-plus decades. What about Beano Roberts, who has been on.the Shrimp The festival is no longer about local artists or local interests! The Shrimp Festival Committee has shown this is about the almighty dollar and not the community. Festival Committee every year of its 50-year existence? Charles Albert, maybe? The list goes on and on but the people who listen are few. Sandy Price is not one of them! Why move the parade from the Thursday of Shrimp Festival week to the Saturday before? Ever heard the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?!" This isn't about preventive maintenance, it is "to hell with tradition" and everything else that isn't what Ms. Price wants. The parade was always about local people coming downtown and gathering along Ash and Centre streets in the late afternoon or early evening for the rallying of the people and organizations that make up our community. Not anymore! Get yourself out in the middle of the hottest part of the dlay on the weekend before the festival because it has been decided nine days of festival-associated activities is what we need, not just a long weekend. How was the deci- sion made to extend the fes- tivities? What's next, Shrimp Festival as a summer-long event? Were there any other activ- ities affected by the change in parade day? Well, the farmers' market lost the use of Centre Street, we didn't even try to go over there! The Amelia Island Book Festival surely suffered some impact. People in the parade couldn't partici- pate in many of the scheduled activities associated with the book festival. What about Little League baseball, soft- ball games or Babe Ruth League? Were they notified of Ms. Price's desired change? Did they have an opportunity to speak out about the impact it might have on their efforts? Have you heard the uproar over the shirt? No local artist submitted work that was at a level thought to be what the committee desired! I am a fan of Guy Harvey!

Elizabeth Ann Huben Fernandina Beach We're having a ghost parade! The 50th Annual Shrimp Festival Committee, in their infinite "wisdom," deter- mined the parade needed to be moved from its traditional Thursday night to the Saturday prior. With an open mind, we attended the parade and par- ticipated with enthusiasm. Given that we have spoken to no one who liked this decision Sor ien had a sayso itithedeei1 sion', we have decided to'hold our own "Woulda, Coulda Should Ghost Parade!" If you'd like to join us in cel- ebrating the parade that was- n't please join us at 6 p.m. Thursday on Ash Street between Fifth and Seventh (in front of the News-Leadek, the hardware store and the florist). Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the parade that wasn't! Jim and Brenda Platt Fernandina Beach ber him being at the Shrimp Festival, though. If he was, I sure missed his booth! Wonder what his original art would do for our sales vol- tumes? The time has long come for a revisiting of the agree- ment with the Shrimp Festival Committee. The festival is no longer about local artists or local interests! The city of Fernandina Beach is never wholly compensated for its expenditures in making the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival a success. All the city has is taxpayer-generated dol- lars mine and yours and they spend it for a private entity to make money. The committee, in the person of Ms. Price, has shown this is about the almighty dollar and not the community. That being the case, they need to pay the whole bill associated with the event. Our new sher- iff has recently cut escorts for funeral processions because of the costs. How many over- time hours are accumulated by the Nassau County Sheriff's Office over this nine- day period of festival-relaited' activities? How much did the patrol car at the end of my street, uninhabited but the motor and air conditioning running for the entirety of the parade, cost taxpayers? How about the state troopers work- ing traffic on the way to the island? Game and Fish offi- cers, too, on land and water! The relationship between the city and the Shrimp Festival Committee long ago quit being mutually beneficial. Make it part of the obligation to pay their own way! How much does the city expend and how much does the com- mittee reimburse? As taxpay- ers, we are entitled to know these answers. Tighten the parameters for the festival - do the citizens of Fernandina and Nassau County truly want nine days of activities inter- rupting our little paradise? At the very least have the city commissioners approve these changes so the people can vote on their tenure and accept or reject such deci- sions. The last such decision - borrow monies for non- essential projects led to a change of the commission and a return of most of the money. Without a review of the arrangements between the city and the committee, things will continue to deteri- orate. What's next, a festival spanning two full weekends and the workweek in between? A high seas area where goods can be taken by modern day pirates at sword point without any retribution from the law? Or, in light of the much more impressive professional artists, maybe after 50 years we'll now start the "Isle of Eight Flags Redfish Festival!" With any luck, it will be moved to the Omni Amelia Island Plantation also!

Awards were presented by the Amelia Island/Nassau County Association of Realtors, the city of Fernandina Beach, town of Hilliard, Fernandina Beach Optimist Club, Nassau County Board of County Commissioners and RockTenn. The tremendous success of this event is .due to the outpouring of support for volun- teerism in our community by businesses, civic groups, churches, nonprofit agencies and gov- ernmental groups who purchase tables, half- tables, small business and general admission tickets and by volunteers who donate their time, talents, energy and resources.

The efforts to revise the law came about because of the destruc- tion of more than 30 very old and majestic oaks. It's true that the prop- erty owner, Flash Foods, had the right to destroy the trees, but just because it was legal doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. With site plan modifications, more trees could have been left standing. Although the new ordinance is forward look- ing, nothing can bring.back the trees that were lost. Final passage of the ordinance was a wonderful example of what can happen when citizens, elected officials and government join in a collaborative process to serve the community. The result of our joint efforts was the enactment of sub- stantial changes in our tree ordi- nance that will benefit Amelia Island for years to come. There are many people to thank for their contributions to the process including hundreds of private citi- zens who supported the changes. The Nassau County growth man- agement staff and director, Peter King, Chair Tom Ford and all the members of the Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board, Early McCall, who lent his expertise as a certified arborist, and Nassau County Attorney David Hallman are just a few of those who played an important role. Thanks also goes out to Phil Scanlan for his advice and counsel. Special thanks to the News-Leader and Editor Michael Parnell in particular, who provided an important public forum for the discussion. Thank you to everyone who par- ticipated in drafting and passing the Amelia Island Tree Ordinance. It shows what can happen when we work together for the greater good. Next steps include the creation of the Amelia Tree Conservancy, a cit- izens' education and advocacy group to provide leadership, public edu- cation and advocacy for tree preser- vation including an active tree plant- ing'program on Amelia Island. We would love to have you join us in . fostering this ongoing effort at ameliatreeconservancy@gmail.cotm. Lyn Pannone Amelia Tree Conservancy Amelia Island Let'em play I. Here's another letter on behalf of traveling musicians and art vendors. It appears our city commission is trying to run all of them off the island by making it impossible for them to be here. The annual per- mit fee of $300 is excessive, the insurance requirement is ridiculous and removing the pocket parks from a list of places they ire allowed to play is just plain stupid. It seems to me that the pocket parks are the perfect place to play. Obviously we don't want them blocking the sidewalks or entrances to our stores or using vulgar lan- guage or leaving litter, but pages and pages of regulations seem unnecessary. In Savannah, Ga., the street per- former registers with the city, receives a badge and goes out and plays. What? Could it really be that simple? If there is a problem or a com- plaint, a city official notifies the per- former. It's called communication - and you just don't banish all of them. If you agree with our commis- sioners' plan to create a sterile down- town where everything that hap- pens has to be pre-planned and regulated, then don't do anything. If you think 9ur island is really more open, free and welcoming than that, then please read on. None of this is law-yet. We have only had the first reading of this ordinance. It will come up again on Tuesday, May 7. Please mark your calendar, tell your friends and show up at City Hall on May 7 at 6 p.m..and tell our city commissioners that they are wrong and we don't agree with them. Joan Bean Fernandina Beach Vote for St Michael There's one thing all Christian churches have in common. It's the right to vote. Baptists, Episcopalians, Luther- ans, Methodists, Presbyterians and others often gather to vote on church policy, church renovation, church expansion, new pastors, new deacons. Catholics recently experienced the nearly 200 cardinals from around the world come together in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, deliberate, discuss and finally vote on the new Pope Francis. It was a dramatic moment as mil- lions watched smoke emitting from the chimney of the old chapel turn from black to white, announcing a new pope. However, here at home, our local St. Michael's Church members are being denied that precious right. It's the right to vote on expand- ing St. Michael's or building a new church in Yulee, only about 10 miles down the road, on already pur- JOHN DARKOW/COLUMBIA (MO.) DAILYTRIBUNE chased property. As one St. Michael's member put it, "A yes or no vote would be so simple." Announce a voting weekend ahead of time. Place voting cards in each pew. Each member could vote, place their card in a collection basket. Those unable to be present could vote by email or by texting. This all seems so right, so respectful, especially since 75 per- cent of church members either don't know about the proposed expansion or don't approve. In 2005, under former pastor Father Brian Eburn, indoor bath- rooms were built and a carefully planned sacristy was enlarged and updated. Father Brian, as he was affec- tionately known, did not ever want to see an expansion because he believed it would destroy the origi- nal integrity of the beautiful old (circa 1872) historic church. He wisely chose, instead, and with the approval of the bishop and the church council (representing hundreds of church members), the purchase of prime property on A1A/SR200, just down the road from the Target/Home Depot shopping center. It was commonly believed that a new church would, someday soon, be built there. One other main reason Father Brian did not want to see St. Michael's ever expanded was because it would cause even more vehicular traffic to crowd the narrow streets. Some of the residents in sur- rounding homes are known to have said they feel like prisoners in their own homes during weekend Mass services because they cannot easily come and go. Father Jose Kallukalum, now in his third year as pastor, would do well to be in touch with Father Brian. Eburn who, in 2008 at age 75, retired as pastor of St. Michael's and from the active priesthood. If voting is good for Pope Francis, it's good for St. Michael's. Willyne Blanchard Fernandina Beach Florida law To the cowardly driver on Blackrock Road who ran over a lit- tle black and white Boston Terrier on Tuesday afternbon (April 23) and kept on driving shame on you! Had you bothered to stop you would've found his collar lying in the road with his name and the owner's telephone number on it. Had you bothered to stop maybe he would've gotten to the vet's office a little quicker and wouldn't have had to hobble home bleeding from the head and eyes with a most-like- ly broken leg. Had you bothered to stop you would've found that he was not just a dog but a best friend and beloved family member. Had you bothered to stop you would know that he was the sweet- est, funniest little guy who was loved by everyone he met. But you didn't bother. Instead, you just kept on driving, probably not even looking in your rearview mirror to see if he was alive or not. I hope that you have many sleep- less nights over this and I that you are more caring and empathetic should this ever happen again. Accidents happen I get that. It may not even have been your fault. But it is Florida law: Statute 316.061 that requires you stop anytime you are involved in an accident "involv- ing damage to vehicle or property." Sadly, dogs are deemed "per- sonal property" and therefore if a dog is hit, a person is obligated to pull over, see if they can find the owner and find out why the dog was not on his leash. If the dog is off his leash a lot of the time the law actu- ally protects the motorist by absolv- ing him of liability, but not stopping turns it into a "hit-and-run." So the next time you run over someone's best friend, you might want to stop and see if you can help. And in case you're interested, he didn't die on Tuesday. He's in an intensive care unit in Orange Park fighting for his life. By the way, his name is Bandit. Deborah Watford Fernandina Beach Hola Based on a recommendation from Dave's World, my wife and I decided to go to lunch at Hola's Cuban Cafe off of Centre Street. We love ethnic food, and were pleased to learn that Cuban food was added to our dining selections. The food was very good, but the seating was limited; however, they seemed to bedoing a thriving "take out" business. We learned that the payment of "impact fees" was hold- ing up their additional seating. I am in complete agreement with the concept of impact fees to pay for infrastructure and municipal services which are already in place, but I am also a believer that gov- ernment should be trying to help small businesses get started, since they are the backbone of our econ- omy. The new owner was hoping that a payment plan might be avail- ablk- I, help with cash flow, but this i< appartintly notbfferett.: ff"t Certainly we want our downtown area to be alive with small shops and restaurants. Says Marisol Triana, the owner: The limited seating is definitely hurt- ing we experience at least half a dozen parties daily who come in, realize there is not enough seating and leave saying they will return at another time. If there were some sort of agreement that can be reached with the city it would be huge for our business. However, we were informed that is not an option. My bigger issue is that, while government does need to enforce rules and collect taxes, it should never lose sight of the fact that it should also be trying to help local businesses prosper. Too often I've seen inspectors who seem to enjoy their enforcement powers over a business, who take an almost penal approach to their job, while it is in the community's best interest for that same government representa- tive to take a "how can I help you" approach, to assist the engines of our economy, small businesses, to thrive. Ed Weihenmayer Amelia Island Hidden treasure Steve Nicklas' column (April 24) disclosed one of Amelia Island's best kept secrets: the likelihood that the treasure and artifacts of the San Miguel lie within reach under the water and sand off Amelia Island's southeast coast. The San Miguel is recognized by some authorities as one of the world's 10 most valuable lost treas- ures. When we think about the things that make Amelia Island and' Nassau County a great place to live, it's a long list and now we add the prospect of one of the great treas- ures of history! Most of the owners of the com- pany are residents of Amelia Island and Nassau County, and are folks who have blended adventure and investing into an enjoyable and excit- ing race into history. One activity that Amelia Research & Recovery, LLC enjoys is sharing the story of the search. The work of Amelia Research & Recovery and the pri- mary research vessel the Polly-L has been the subject of many news stories, including a segment on Good Morning America. In the past couple of years, members of the company have taken slide show pre- sentations and actual artifacts to sev- eral high schools and college-spon- sored groups inll Northeast Florida. While telling the story of the adven- ture, the presentation also empha- sizes that looking for treasure, like any worthwhile pursuit, requires skills that are learned in school - chemistry, math, biology, history, geography, physics, archeology and lots of reading and research. It's a "Stay in School" message that is memorable. Come to the Maritime Museum of Amelia Island at 1325 S. Eighth St See some of the treasures, the cut- ting edge and locally designed tech- nology, and meet some of the adven- turers who have spent a quarter-century to come to this one moment in time. Harvey Slentz Amelia Island RV opinions Well, I have listened to the debaLf for a couple of weeks. So I thinkI have formed an opinion. First let me say I am a Fernaj- dina native and an RV'er. It seems that the 60-plus acres of land in question close to the golf course needs to have something done to it Why? Is leaving it alone such a bad thing? Are we given three choices? Well, here is what I would pick: Leave, the property alone. Lt the little critters keep their home and let the trees do their thing., s there a law saying this land must be developed? RV resort. As an RV'er myself "I know for a fact that RV resorts aide very pleasing to the eye and land- scaped beautifully. Believe me, when I shop around for an RV resort to stay in my husband and I always look at pictures of the facilities on the websites. The most popular resorts are the ones who have designed the camping area around the existing environment and have cut as few trees as possible. RV folks as a whole are courteous to the com- munity they visit, respectful of the environment, clean and polite to their neighbors. Of all the vacations I have taken over my life I remem- ber the RV trips with the fondest memory. Meeting people from all parts of the world and forming new friendships that last a lifetime. RV folks are good people. Condo/apartments. This would be my least favorite choice. Concrete, concrete, concrete. Or maybe-another cookie-cut neigh- borhood of homes? No thanks. Nancy Douglas Fernandina Beach Re: The viewpoint by Bob Allison, "Straight talk about the pro- posed RV park," April 17. Mr. Allison outlined a number of subjective observations regarding his not-for-profit desire to develop an RV park on the island. Much of the content highlighted the intrinsic benefits to RV owners concluding that there is little difference between a low-density RV resort and a quiet residential subdivision. While I pe'- sonally find that comparison debat- able on its face, because the pro- posed project is a large one which seemingly will alter the current char- acter of the island, expertise and a long-term commitment by Mt'. Allison to the island's other proper- ty owners and citizens are of extreme importance to any discus- sion. Aside from justifying feasibili- ty studies yet to be undertaken by Mr. Allison, the results of which I am sure will be made readily available to all, I would welcome comment from Mr. Allison on the following core issues that are deemed factually important to his proposal. Does Mr. Allisontha i. \-e. li i in managing outdoor hospitality properties? If not, does Mr. Allison intend to engage a management company?: Does Mr. Allison have financing in place? Will there be other investors? Will Mr. Allison be the majority owner of the entity owning and oper- ating the park? Is the ultimate ownership group objective to develop and stabilizel the property for sale? Thank you for providing tlt. venue for this, as well as other, com- munity issues. Christine Corso Fernandina Beach WEDNESDAY, MAY 1. 2013 OPINION News-Leader Budget deliberations at the Legislature The seventh week of session brought the last round of com- mintee lit ,i i 11..ind more time on the House floor. HB 1225 was placed on its final commit- tee agenda for Tuesday, the same day that my dad was scheduled to have surgery. I had already made arrange- ments to be at the hospital with him, so I was grateful when Rep. Matt Gactz (a cosponsor for the bill) agreed to present HB 1225 in the State. Affairs Committee. For the third time, the bill passed the committee unrani- mously. This bill places more power into the hands of small business owners and citizens when they seek to appeal deci- sions of state government. Our prayers were answered, and my Dad came through the surgery with no complications. Just like many families, what affects one member of the fam- ily impacts everyone. We all pray for a good outcome any- time a family member is sched- uled for surgery. JANET ADKINS State Representative I returned to Tallahas- see for the remainder of the week not sure of whether I would return home to be , with my fam- ily for the weekend. At this point in session, the primary y focus is on the budget. I knew budget conferences between the House and the Senate were mere days away. The political process in Tallahassee goes through vari- ous stages, and the pace was picking up as we were spending more time on the floor and start- ing to merge the Senate and House education budgets. The differences between the Senate and House would be resolved through the conference pro- HISTORIC 'KIBLER RANC14 BRADENTON, FLORIDA 1,009: ACRES . *.- 11- .* . .. . . a * * I ' N~A .... .'. 4Bdro ivefot og Ino eProuigCtl prto 1.75 Mile Frotag on wy 4 ond Sasurs- Oag rve an Emloye Houing Minral ight cess, led by the respective appropriations chairs and mem- bers of the education commit- tees. Wednesday was a long day. We spent nine hours on the House floor hearing over 70 bills. One of those bills was HB 441, which relatedto educa- tional standards and require- ments for youthful offenders in a DJJ facility. The focus of this bill is to better prepare individ- uals in state care to live more productive lives after being released from custody in a juve- nile justice facility. This bill seeks to provide career and technical training, and it increases accountability measures to ensure desired out- comes are being achieved. For- mer State Sen. Steve Wise filed a similar bill last legislative ses- sion, and I have been honored to work with Sen. Aaron Bean as the Senate sponsor this year. I believe education has the power to transform lives and is a game changer for those under the care of the Department of Juvenile Justice. This change, I believe, will help us get these young offenders back on track and help lead to more produc- tive outcomes. HB 441 passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 115 to 0 and is now ready to be heard in the Senate. The Senate companion bill, SB 960, is scheduled to be heard in its final Senate committee in week eight. While we are almost fin- ished with this legislation, we are still working on a budget appropriation of $1.6 million to support its implementation. Sometimes in this process, there are issues that have no advocacy group to fight for them. It is important that law- makers balance the public inter- ests. Improving education for juvenile offenders can help open the doors to a brighter future and provide greater chances of reducing the path towards prison for many of these youth. The biggest highlight for Wednesday was seeing over 20 members of the Amelia Island Daughters of the American Revolution at the State Capitol. It was delightful to see so many friendly faces and to be greeted, so warmly, by people back home. I enjoyed talking with them and posing for pictures outside the House Chambers. I still appreciate Unda Davis who, just a couple of years ago, helped me trace my ancestry back to the.American Revolu- tion. I am proud to be a member of this terrific group of ladies. The DAR reminds me of the legacy that we as Americans have to the next generation and how the history of this nation shapes the decisions we make today We returned to the House floor Thursday morning with a much smaller agenda. Although the number of bills was small, the content was more con- tentious, and members engaged in a lot of debate. HB 351, deal- ing with Application of Foreign, Law, was the first bill consid- ered. This bill provides that any legal decision or contract pro- vision is void and unenforceable if it is based upon a foreign law or system that does not grant the parties the same protections guaranteed by the state and fed- eral constitutions. In other words, any decision based on any law, legal code or system that does not grant the parties affected the same fun- damental liberties, rights and privileges granted under the Florida Constitution and the U.S. Constitution violates public policy of the state of Florida and is void and unenforceable. I am a cosponsor to this bill, and I was pleased when it passed the House with a vote of 79 yeas to 39 nays. Just as we were concluding our work on the House floor, the Appropriations chair an- nounced that the Senate presi- dent and House speaker had agreed on budget allocations for each category of the budget. Speaker Weatherford announ- ced the budget conferees and informed the members that budget deliberations would begin at 5:30 p.m. I had previously submitted a letter requesting to serve as a budget conferee on the Educa- tion Appropriations Budget Conference and was honored to have my request granted. This would mean, however, that I -would need to stay in Talla- hassee through the weekend. This provides me with a chance to have a voice in helping shape the final education budget. The hardest part of serving in Tallahassee is telling my chil- dren that I would not be coming home later that day because of my responsibilities in the budg- et conference process. I had shared with themmy work to' get .'1.2 million in state funding for Communities In Schools (CIS), and they understood that if I stayed in Tallahassee Iwould have a greater chance of secur- ing funding for this terrific pro- gram. Communities In Schools cur- rently serves 14 counties, including Nassau County. In 2011-12, they served nearly 35,000 students, 84 i5ercent of which were minority students. I am personally familiar with their "homework club" at Fer- nandina Beach Middle School, and I appreciate the hard work of their many volunteers. Communities In Schools had received state funding until 2007 when budget cuts were neces- sary, and it was my desire to see them restored to their 2007 level of funding. We were start- ing a bit "behind the eight ball" because there was no funding in either the House or Senate budget recommendations. Nevertheless, I knew what the outcome would be if I did noth- ing. I hacd already shared my priorities with the House Education Appropriations Chair Erik Fresen, staff, the Duval delegation, fellow representa- tives and even some senators serving on the budget confer- ence. Friday afternoon the House presented its first budget offer to the Senate, and I was excited to see $1.2 million for.Commu- nities In Schools and $1.6 mil- lion for implementation of HB 441 for juvenile justice pro- grams. Now, I had to wait to see if the Senate would accept these items. While my son and I often enjoy watching the evening news together, followed by an episode of the "Andy Griffith Show," the sacrifice my family had to make was a small price to pay when we had a chance to open the doors to success for many kids who are struggling with homework and need the services provided by Communi- ties In Schools. Of course, one of my biggest priorities this session was to secure funding for the St. Johns River Ferry. We had been suc- cessful in getting a budget line item in both* the House and Senate budgets ($1 million and $500,000 respectively). After securing budget positions in both chambers, we were able to work with Governor Scott and Department of Transporta- tion Secretary Prasad to allo- date $1 milli6t in capital funding from existing, department resources for the St. Johns River Ferry I believe the budget line items were a critical link in final- ly securing funding for the ferry, The next budget conference occurred at 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. I quickly scanned the spreadsheet looking for the CIS and juvenile justice funding. Thankfully, the Senate had accepted the CIS line item of $1.2 million. Although they kept the $1.6 million for the juvenile justice programs, they appro- priated it from the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund and not from general revenue. This; was problematic and would require additional negotiation. Saturday morning passed' quite quickly with reviewing 29 pages of incredibly small print containing the first Senate offer for the K-20 Education budget and working on compromise language for budget conforming bills. The afternoon, however, was a different story. The hours dragged by as I periodically checked for an email calling us back to a budget conference meeting. Finally, word came that we would not meet until Sunday. The conference process is a negotiated process and requires timing, commitment and pay- ing attention to the details. After many hours spent in the Capitol, I was satisfied we are headed in the right direction on educa- tion. As we head towards "sine die," the final stretch will find many members tired. Having. been away from their homes, businesses and jobs, they are ready to wrap up the work and get life back to normal. This is, however, when you need that second wind because as we head towards the finish line, this, is the time we will see the amendments fly; the debate becomes more intense: and, important decisions get made in hours and minutes. Standing firm on the decisions you make and fighting for the people back home is always at the forefront of my thoughts. As you form an opinion on the many issues affecting Florida, be sure to share them with your elected officials. It is helpful to hear from you and, in many instan- ces, your email or phone call could change the course of events.

S But soon enough I tune out these sounds and listen instead to the nature that brought me here in the first place. As the sky begins to darken many of the creatures come to life. At first it's the frogs I hear. Usually there is at least one bullfrog croaking on the other side of the pond near the outflow. It's a lonely frog, I think. I've never heard another one answering this plaintive call, but maybe as spring advances the calls might attract a mate from a nearby golf course pond. Here's hoping, anyway. Off in the woods the owls. are beginning to wake up on their night shift. At least two species of owls barred owls and great horned owls - inhabit our backyard woods. The "Who Cooks for You" calls of the barred owls and the "Hoo Hoo Hoo" calls of the great horned owls vie for girtime fronm,different ar-as of the forest. It's always good" to know they are out there patrolling for rats that other- wise like to move into my attic. Occasionally I hear flocks of geese flying by overhead too. Their honking calls alarm me I don't want them set- tling in my'pond. Canada geese should be heading back north now, not staying here year-round on our golf courses and retention ponds. If they seem to be landing on my turf, I do my best to dis- courage them. Often I hear other unrec- ognizable sounds from the pond edge or the woods, vari- ous chirps and rustling in the woods, and branches moving in the wind. It's fun, really, not to know what-everything is, and just to know that nature is alive and around me. If I am really lucky out in my backyard, sometimes I even hear splashes of water and I know the otters are vis- iting me again. These critters roam up and down Amelia Island and travel from pond to pond. Our pond seems to be at the fringe'of their territory, only worth a visit every few weeks. I know they come that often by the piles of scat they deposit on the path where they enter the pond from the woods. It is rare to see them, but when I am enveloped in my hammock motionless they don't see me, and they come close to my side of the pond where I can watch them. It's not only the sounds that intrigue me as I lie in my hammock it's the visual splendor of it all as well. In spring the yellow and purple Louisiana irises are blooming along the edge of the pond and white native "Easter lilies" (aka zephyr lilies) and various wildflowers fill in the foreground. Behind me, the red sages and purple and white lantana are already in bloom in my butterfly garden waiting for takers. Above me, purple wisteria blossoms This passes for research as our intrepid wildlife observer encases herself in a cocooning hammock and enjoys "hanging out" in her backyard. droop from the framework and the last remnants of white Lady Banks roses frame the sides. Not far away, sweet pea vines covered with flowers fill the air with their delicate scent and wait for me to cut them and bring them into the house to fill my vases. If I want, I don't even have to be a careful observer. I can just let the motion of the rock- ing hammock, the wildlife sounds, the scents of flowers and the darkening sky lull me into a before-dinner nap. Yes, folks, this is my favorite way to "hang out" on Amelia Island. It just doesn't get any better than this! Pat Foster-Turley is a zoolo- gist on Amelia Island.

The student, who is not being identified by the News- Leader because he's a juve- nile, is charged with making and throwing a destructive device, according to an arrest report. About 8:55 a.m. Thursday, the student reportedly placed tin foil and "Works" drain cleaner in a plastic bottle, shook it up and threw it toward a Dumpster between two buildings on campus, the report said. A school resource officer directing traffic heard "the explosion from the street in front of the school ... approximately 200 yards away," according to the report. Nobody was hurt by the blast and there was no prop- erty damage tied to the inci- dent, the report said. The teen allegedly told school officials and investiga- tors he had made the "device" using drain cleaner, tin foil and plastic bottles, deputies said. He realized he had a bottle of drain cleaner in his knapsack and just decided to make one at school, he reportedly told investigators. A couple of juvenile wit- nesses told investigators they had seen the student make the device before shaking it up and throwing it at the Dumpster, deputies said. A search of the scene found a "mutilated" plastic bottle along with a ball of tin foil, according to the report. gpelican@f/bnewslea dercom LIVE Music Every Night!

Young Jacob Jones was presented the winner's check for his first-place black drum that weighed 85.05 pounds. Jones is a multiple winner of the event and so is his *father, John. Michael Foster took second-place honors with a 76.60- pound black drum and OUTDOORS James S Raysor took e third with Te av cacoss his 75.3- pound black drum. Bqth Foster and Raysor are also repeat winners in the annual black drum fishing tourna- ment. "We have caught most of our big drum during the full or new moon, when there is plenty of current along the beaches," Jones said. "Our bait of choice is half a blue crab fished right on the bot- tom, which is often sweet- ' ened with a large fresh shrimp or conch. "We also look for the best drum fishing to come just after sunset while fishing just off north beach in 18 feet of water. A strong incoming tide is best, which triggers a big drum bite and spawn." Capt. Allen Mills skippers the.local charter fishing boat "Wahoo," specializing in cobia fishing during the late spring and early summer fishing sea- sons. Mills presented an informative cobia fishing seminar following the NSFA drum tournament awards. "My favorite type of fish- ing is sight fishing for cobia," Mills said. 'There is absolute- ly no other type of saltwater fishing that is as exciting as cobia fishing during late spring and the early summer fishing season. And what is so special about cobia fishing is that you catn sight fish for them. "My boat's tuna tower gives me a 20-foot advantage when sight fishing, which is almost a must when hunting down Amelia Island cobia. Keep in mind that the hunt- ing portion of cobia fishing is also a challenge that our char- ters enjoy." Some of Amelia Island's best cobia fishing is found at the mouth of the St Marys inlet, where channel markers are a huge attraction for local PHOTOS BY TERRY LACOSS/SPECIAL Nassau Sport Fishing Association President John'Hartrich and Teresa Whitman of Leaders & Sinkers presented 2013 NSFA Drum Tournament awards to TNT winner Hunter Taylor, Michael Foster, second place, and first-place winner Jacob Jones, top from left.

Cobia.will typically hold right on the surface and, while cruising the surface, will create a large wake in the water. Mills' tuna tower is a big advantage for spotting cobia cruising along the sur- face or holding just under the surface. Mills also had on hand to both demonstrate and person- ally show all who attended his s<-inar the rccolilment'ded fishing tackle, lures and baits for targeting local cobia. "I prefer a seven-foot medi- um heavy action spinning rod outfitted with a wide spool spinning reel filled with 40- pound braided fishing line," Mills said. "I also attach a six- foot length of 50-pound fluoro- carbon shock leader to the tag end of the braided fishing line. "My absolute favorite plug for catching cobia is a large saltwater chugger. Cobia are absolutely awesome when '. wea th<: i d watqr teimpera. striking a surface chugger, often leaping out of the water with the plug deep in their mouth." Mills also demonstrated how to rig surface plugs, large led head feathered jigs rigged with a plastic tail and dead menhaden to a led head jig for cobia fishing. S Cobia are just now begin- ning to show up in Northeast Florida waters and maybe a little later than most cobia seasons, which can be blamed in part to the cold tares; ' The present Florida Wildlife Commission regula- tions allow saltwater fisher- men to keep one cobia per day measuring at least 33 inches to the fork of the tail. There is also a maximum daily vessel bag limit of six cobia per clay. For informa- tion, visit www.imyfwc.com.

MAY 1,.2013 NEWS-LEADE[,R / FE-RNANDINA BEACH. FL Turtle tale proves it's a small world after all It is a small world, even for sea turtles. My sister lives in Boston and we share a love of nature and its creatures and, as it turns out, espe- cially sea turtles. She is an active vol- unteer at the busy New England Aquarium where she conducts tours for visitors and volunteers at an of.f- site marine animal care facility. Throughout the'winter she has been helping care for a record num- ber of cold stunned turtles,. The log- gerhead, Kemp's Ridley and green sea turtles, all threatened or endan- gered species, were rescued during annual programs to find "cold- stunned" sea turtles on Cape Cod beaches. Like people suffering hypothermia, the turtles would have :died if not for the aid. All of the stunned creatures got blood tests I and X-rays. Many needed injuries treated or antibi- otics for lung issues. All were hand-fed and watched closely when offered their S first "swims" in FROM kiddy pools. It was THE a five-month course of rest and rehab PORCH involving hundreds .- ...- of volunteers and Dickie many other rescue Anderson organizations and SAnderson aquariums. My volunteer time has been spent on early morning patrol looking) for fresh turtle nests. Once a nest is found, volunteers mark it with dcis- tinctive yellow tape, date it and wait for the eggs to hatch roughly 60 clays later. Mary Duffy, who coordinates the well organized Amelia Island Sea Turtle Watch, is getting ready for another season starting the begin- ning of May. According to Duffy, "This organi- zation is a tightly knit group of com- munity members who see the impor- tance of preserving this important part of the island's natural heritage. Sea turtles have been around for 100t) million years. They were on this island long before us." A few weeks ago my sister called with the news that some of HER tur- tles were coming to one of MY beaches. She reported a caravan loaded with over 50 turtles was mak- ing its way to from Boston to Florida and picking up other turtles along the way in Connecticut, Maryland and Virginia. She was not sure where they were going to be released and alerted me to stay tuned. You have probably guessed it. The turtles were released on Little Talbot Island a few miles south of our home. The rescue program picked Little Talbot Island because of its location in an area where the tur- tles naturally migrate and the water is warm enough this time of year for their re-entry. The crates were unloaded and lined up on the beach. Those there describe the amazing scene. It seemed the turtles could sense the ocean close by and startled rattling their cages. Nothing happens fast in the turtle world, but once released they all made their way into the welcoming ocean. What an amazing story. Turtles hand-fed and cared for in Boston by my sister made the long trip by cara- van to the sandy beaches of Little ' Talbot Island. What a small world, indeed. Many of those same turtles will be migrating back to New England for the summer. Let's hope this year they have learned their les- son and will head back south before the weather turns cold!

Helpful horseshoe crab topic of final Wild Nite "The Amazing Horseshoe Crab," the mascot for the sev- enth annual Wild Amelia Nature Festival from May 17- 19, will be the subject of dis- cussion at the final Wild Nite of the 2012-13 monthly lec- ture series leading up to the festival. This last Wild Nite will be held on Tuesday, May 14 at 7 p.m. 'at the Peck Center Auditorium at 516 South 10th St. in Fernandin0 Beach. The guest speaker will be Ranger Daniel Tardona, resource interpretive special- ist of the Timucuan Preserve. Maligned and misunder- stood even a subject of fear - the strange-looking horse- shoe crab, often called a "liv- ing fossil," is actually helpful to humans and to other living things. It has existed for over 450 million years. An arthro- pod, the horseshoe crab - named for its shape which resembles a horse's hoof print - is related to spiders and scorpions, but is harmless to humans. With five pairs of legs for walking, swimming and eating, the horseshoe crab has a long rigid tail used to flip itself if turned upside down. Found on the ocean floor and in shallow bays, the horseshoe crab swims upside down and molts its shell annu- ally to grow larger and reach- es adult size in 12-15 years. The females come to the beach to nest, digging holes to deposit thousands of eggs each year. These eggs are the primary food source for at least 11 species of migratory birds. Horseshoe crabs are actually helpful to humans, as their blue blood is used in medical research to test for pathogens in drugs and pros- thetic devices. Over-harvest- ing of female horseshoe crabs and beach erosion has led to a precipitous decline in some horseshoe crab populations, a decline that means the inigra- tory bird food supply is also reduced. The horseshoe crab is important in the "circle of life." The Wild Amelia Nature Festival is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization whose mission is to protect the wildlife and wild places of Amelia Island through edu- cation: the seventh annual Wild Amelia Nature Festival will be held from May 17-19 at. venues on and around the island and will include eco- tours, exhibits for adults and children, a silent auction, a sea turtle release, music and more. Educational programs are ongoing throughout the year.

She was found abandoned in a home, with an injured, infected rear leg. The infection was too severe to save the leg, so we had it amputated to save Dixie's life. She is making a remarkable recovery and now she loves going for walks on her leash. She still needs to undergo heartworm treatment and to be spayed, all of which we will pay for. It would be wonderful if a caring dog owner could foster her through the treat- ment and recovery, perhaps with an eye toward adopting her afterward. She is an English Staffordshire Terrier mix, about 2 years old, and very good-natured despite all she has been through. She's very affectionate and seems to appreciate that she has been rescued. She walks well on her leash and likes to do her business outside, so she may be housetrained. She has a beautiful, butterscotch-col- ored coat with a touch of brindle markings, and she's a fine size for a house dog.

Joining on Saturday will be new vendor Artisan Black Garlic, one of only a few producers of black garlic in the United States. Korean culture, famous for kimchi, has perfected the art of fermentation, patiently coaxing the flavors of every- day food to a new level. Not surprisingly, the origin of black garlic started in Korea, After aging for at least 30 days, it possesses a carameliz- ed, savory richness that has a mouth feel similar to eating a date. Because it's sweet and mild, it's hard to believe you're eating garlic at all. Artisan Black Garlic has taken the use of black garlic to a new level with its creation of Black Garlic Vinegar, fea- turing an exorbitant amount of black garlic infused in balsam- ic vinegar of Modena. They also offer fresh Lemon and Ginger married in a white bal- samic vinegar of Modena and golden Florida orange blos- som honey and blended white balsamic and seasoned rice wine vinegar, infused with spices of India and South Asia including ginger, garlic, turmeric, lemon grass, kiefer lime leaves, cardamon, cinna- mon, cumin, clove and Korean chili. Artisan Black Garlic will be at the market just once a month. Also at the market May 4 will be Batch 501 Original Sauce, rubs and Bloody Mary mixes and the just harvested certified organic lettuces, salad mixes, bok choy, kale and assorted vegetables of Rosie's Organic Farm and Spring Song Organic Farm. A large variety of bedding plants, hibiscus and landscape material will be at the market as well as fresh culinary herb plants including varieties of basil, cilantro, parsley and more. Succulents, bromeliads, fine ferns, begonias and beau- tiful pots will be available at Almost Ancient Pots.
