The 59-year-old Atlantic Beach resi- dent loved her job with a Jacksonville mortgage company. She often worked extia hours in the loan department of Countrywide Mortgage, where she had been employed for almost a year. Mrs. Railey's job officially didn't start until 9 a.m., but she often got a lump on traffic, leaving as early as 7:30 a.m. She was ready to drive to work early on the morning of Jan. 5 when she was .shot to death in the driveway of her home. Her next-door neighbor, Donald. L. Hill. 60, of 1087 \Willow Cove Ct. W., is being charged with an open count of murder, said JSO homicide Lt. Tom Hackney. Hill is being held in the Duval County Pre-Trial Detention Center. .According to a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office homicide report, Hill told inves- tigations that he and Mrs. Railey had "a verbal confrontation" around 7:30 a.m, that morning, and that "he shot her" over an "ongoing dispute" about Mrs. Railey putting something "in his flower beds." Christy Chivalette, one of Mrs. Railev's neighbors, said that Mrs. Railey told her a few weeks ago that Hill had accused of her "poisoning him." "She said, 'Yeah, he thinks I'm poi- soning him,' Chivalette, who also works at Countrywide, said Wednesday in a phone interview. "She lives two houses over from me. She usually leaves before me. She was going in early that whole work week. It's quite a shock to the whole neigh- borhood." Chivalettewas at work that morning when she noticed that Railey had not reported to work by 10 a.m. Mrs. Railev's supervisor called the victim's daughter-in-law. Desiree Railey, who asked her husband, Scott, the victim's son, to go over to her house and "check on her." ,Chivalette said she "rushed home" See STOCKPILE, A-3 Officials hope to flush out restroom problems by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF I'RITER lacksonville Beach officials Tuesday will consider a foul- point plan developed to flush out existing problems with the cit\'s tour oceanfront rest- rooms.

Hanson said the FOX TV show t ill be filing a recre- ation of a crime which occurred in South Carolina. Hanson said the shoot will involve the'buring of a vehi- cle. The city's Director of Parks and Recreation. Timmy Johnson, said Thursday that the filming is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. and is expected to last about two hours. He said Jacksonville Fire And Rescue will be on hand in case of an emergency involving the burning vehicle. The show has used Atlantic Beach at least twice in the past to film recreations of crimes perpetrated elsewhere. Police Chief David Thoinmpson said the show filmed at a house in Selva Marina a couple of months ago. Wolfson: 'No rush to make changes' to preserve city's existing character by JEFFREY MINTON STAFF WRITER A group of Atlantic Beach residents at Monday's City Commission meeting expressed concern over the direction they say that the new commission is taking to restrict private property rights. The residents said that the commission's ongoing process of implementing more restric- tive zoning laws to protect community character and its recent moratorium on dividing lots serve as evidence of such. "In my opinion, stopping the evolution of Utlantic Beach is super egotistical since it is saying that the millions of years of evolution should stop now because the is the blip of time that I walk the earth," res- ident Peter Sapia said at the meeting. "Some people are not satis- fied unless they can deny other people the freedom to make choices for themselves. I and many others say let the evolu- tion continue." But Mayor Don Wolfson when asked Thursday said that it's not the intent of he and fel- low commissioners to restrict private property rights. And he pointed to the commission's lack of action Monday on one member's proposal to hold all new construction to some of the proposed zoning changes before they're actually adopt- ed. Commissioner Jamie Fletcher proposed that the city consider some of the proposed amendments as pending zon- ing changes and hold issuance of building permits that don't comply. The idea being to stop any rush of undesirable building activity before the commission can adopt new zoning restric- tions. Fletcher's motion failed to get a second from another commissioner and failed. "That spoke extremely loud to the concerns of that group. What happened in the cham- ber that evening showed that's not how they're [commission- ers] going,'" Wolfson said of the commission's perceived attempt to restrict property rights. "I believe that this commis- sion will move forward ... to seek out what is in the best interest of the city as whole. There's no rush to make all these changes." City officials have identified a need for the city government to protect the residential char- acter of the city's older neigh- borhoods, which are experi- encing a wave of redevelop- ment. City commissioners have said that the tree-ladened, eclectic ambiance of those neighborhoods are eroding in instances where older homes are being torn down and replaced with large, flat-roofed homes, which maximize cur- rent zoning restrictions. The commission last year hired consultant \Winter & Company to help the city staff See WOLFSON, A-3 iruic.c. H AUuIJ -- EIjit L'j Tiger Woods and the rest of the PGA Tour will arrive in Ponte Vedra Beach later in the year when The Players Championship moves to the second week of May in 2007. PGA Tour officials said the later date will restore the firm, fast-playing conditions of the TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Experts ponder Players shift to May by KATHY HARMAN S ONTE I'EDR. LEADER EDITOR Shifting the annual The Players Championship in Ponte \edra Beach from March to May mnay have a positive effect on local businesses, one tourism expert predicts. Another says the boost that the area's signa- ture event gives to businesses each year will just be delayed by a couple of months, while some residents ponder what the move will mean to the community. "I know tfor businesses in the hospitality industry, the TPC is a huge push for them in March," said Jill Sprowell, executive director of the Beaches Division of- the Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Com.merce. "That little boost will just happen a couple months later."' "1 think it will have a very positive effect," Mya Carter, deputy director of the St. Johns* County Visitors and Convention Bureau, said Thursday, the day after the PGA Tour announced the tournament's move. The Players Championship, which this year will mark its 25th March on the TPC Stadium Course in Ponte Vedra Beach, is a staple of the community, marking what some see as the end of winter. "I think of it as kind of the start of spring," said Virginia Simpson of Ponte Vedra, who said her husband, Mark, a golfer, typically attends some of the tournament if someone has extra tickets. S"It kind of gets Ponte Vedra ready for the sea- son." Carter said the tourism industry in St. Johns County is stronger in March than in May, so moving The Players will be good for business.

Dr. Earnest Miller, a forensic psychologist and former pro- fessor of psychiatry at the University of Florida, said that the 36-year-old Ponte Vedra woman reached a point where she no longer wished to live. And she wanted her boys to die with her. "She breast fed these chil- dren for two and a half years," Miller told the jury, adding that most women breast feed for no more than 12 months. "I think it's an indication of. . her inability to distinguish her children from herself. She and the boys were one, in her mind." Miller spent more than 50 hours interviewing and testing Demeniuk, he said, adding that he also interviewed family .and witnesses and had her brain scanned in an MRI. Miller said Demeniuk reached a low point where she was "depressed, psychotic, [and] out of touch with reali- ty," due to a combination of factors, which included a fami- ly history of depression, recent stresses such as her divorce and the use of drugs and alcohol. Miller said Demeniuk meant to kill herself after she killed the boys, but "passed out" because she was heavily intox- icated from prescription drugs and alcohol. Miller said Demeniuk never formed a strong bond with her parents, wiho divorced when she was a teen. This, combined with a fami- ly history of depression and suicide attempts, contributed to Demeniuk's state of mind on the day of the shooting, Miller said. "She reached a point that the world was so terrible and so horrible that she did not think she should live," Miller said. He also said Demeniuk told him she had recurring dreams of "zombies," which he thought was an indication of her unhappiness. Miller testified that Demeniuk had, gaps in her memory and she reported occasions of paralysis. Miller also testified that the antidepressant drugs she was taking, including Paxil and Zoloft, were 'making her depression and anxiety worse. He said the drugs had a "major influence on her break with reality." Miller admitted that he was "absolutely not" saying that the drugs made her kill her sons. But he said the combination of the drugs with her family genetic history and stress put her in a "delusional state of mind" where she was capable of killing her boys. On the day of the shooting, Demeniuk called the boys' father, Tommy, to see if he would baby-sit them, but he declined. In her interviews with Miller, Demeniuk told him she proba- bly was going to ask Ortiz to take her to the hospital if Tommy had taken the boys, Miller told the jury. "I think she reached a point where everything failed," Miller said. "She was at the. bottom of a well, and there was no way out." Stockpile: Hill had 'loading equipment' in house Cont. from A-1 minutes later after learning there had been a shooting on her street. Scott Railey, who lives less than 2 miles from his mother's duplex, was already there when she arrived. Railey said when he turned, onto Willow Cove Court West in the Cypress Cove subdivi- sion of Atlantic Beach, he saw that "the street was roped off" with crime scene tape. He said his first thought was that maybe his mother coild- n't leave the scene because of some sort of accident on. the street. When he identified himself to investigations, he learned the awful truth: Della Railey had been shot a dozen times by a man who minutes later called 911 and "reported that he had just shot -his neighbor," a homicide report says.' "She was going to work," said Railey, 38, whose brother, Chuck, 34, had left their moth- er's house 45 minutes before the shooting; "The funeral director said /she sustained 12 gunshot wounds. People need to know what he did." According to Scott Railey, his mother was shot by a .45 cal- iber handgun with "hi-load" bullets. Railey said police told' him that Hill had a "stockpile" of food and weapons in his home, and that he loaded his own ammunition. Hackney said Thursday that Hill "had loading equipment in the house," but would not comment on the number of weapons recovered from the defendant's residence. But Chivalette, who stayed at the crime scene all day, said she observed police carrying a number of weapons. out of Hill's home, including "high-; powered rifles." Chivalette, who has lived on Willow Cove Court West for about six years, said Hill was one of th& longtime home- owners on the block. According to, the Duval County Property Appraiser's' Web site, Hill purchased his 1,000-square-foot duplex in 1987. Della Railey moved next- door to Hill in June 1997, Wolfson: 'No rush' Cont.from A-l come up with ways to protect the community. character of the city without too severely impeding upon private proper- ty rights. The company at two public meetings in November present- ed a 28-page report which out- lines recommendations for changes to the city's zoning standards that address develop- ment in the Old Atlantic Beach area. The company was rehired last month to help the city staff draft the recommenda-, tions into proposed laws for approval. . The commission in December approved a morato- rium on lot divisions until the proposed zoning changes are further discussed and put in place. The moratorium was enacted after a controversial request by a Selva Marina property owner to divide one large lot in three smaller parcels. The commis- sion denied the property owner's request and approved the moratorium, fearing that similar requests would follow before new zoning laws were enacted. Commissioners have said that the division of properties could be one qf issues negative- ly impacting the city's residen- tial character by adding more density to neighborhoods. Wolfson said Thursday that the moratorium is a "tool to slow down the panic" among some residents about the pro- posed zoning changes. "This [the moratorium] is an instrument that communities use to slow down an overreac- tion that could compromise the direction we're heading," he said. But some of those who spoke Monday said they feel the commissioners stepping 'over bounds. "I don't agree philosophical- ly in many respects with what you're trying to do,".resident .Steve Rosenbloom said, adding that he wants to know the .potential monetary loss caused by the lot division moratori- um. Resident Kelly Elmore said he is against further zoning restrictions or guidelines. "I'm concerned over what I'm hearing and what Pm read- ing regarding zoning," Elmore said. "The core city [area] and sur- rounding area doesn't need, existing zoning. What has been built here the last 10r years has been pretty darn good" "I want to live in a commu- nity that's free and trusts it's citizens to do what is right. Community Character is not created by.its government, but by its people." Wolfson said that the com- mission will not make any changes without careful con- siderations and citizens input. *QUARTER GAMES 3 PM-5:30 PM REGULAR SESSION 6:00 PM *'SEATING FOR 250 ENJOY 27" COLOR Tv's FREE COFFEE COURTEOUS, FRIENDLY & PROMPT STAFF 628 1st Ave. N., Jax Beach 249-9758 HOME COOKED DINNERS $4 SDoors Open 1:00pm After Hours 612-5787 according to property records. "We never knew his name. He was just "Chief" to us," said, Chivalette about the defendant' who is believed to be a retired Navy veteran. "We always knew him as an: old hermit. He went to the store once a month." Scott Railey said investiga- tors with the Buireau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms "got involved," because of the number of weapons and ammo found in the defendant's home. Della Railey's grandchildren often played and slept overnight at her residence, family members said, and the victim had recently remodeled portions of her two.bedroom home. "She just loved that yard and her little [grand] boys," said Chivalette, who said police didn't finish processing the crime scene until around 10 p.m. that night. After investigators, evidence technicians and firefighters left the scene, Chivalette said she and her 5-year-old son walked down to the 'victim's house and placed silk flowers in the drive- way and "said a prayer." A makeshift shrine in the driveway now includes more flowers and cards and a statue of an angel. Mrs. Railey's coworkers have taken up collections this week for her family, and they plan to send flowers'to the funeral service Saturday in Grand Bay, Ala. Chivalette said the president of her company cut short his vacation to attend Mrs. Railey's memorial service Sunday in Jacksonville Beach. "She worked in a close-knit department of about 20 peo- ple," said Chivalette, an under- writer who got her neighbor her job at Countrywide. "She was a hard worker," Scott Railey said.- . "She'd go to work an hour early even if she didn't have to. She was in great health. She would do anything for you. And if she didn't have the means, she would try to find them somehow." Hill's bond has not been set. His next court appearance is scheduled for 9 a.m. Jan. 26. Restrooms: At 9th Ave. t Count. from A-I1 challenge because vandalism often occurs during the open hours and they require daily staffing to ensure cleanliness. To alleviate, some of the Bathroom burden, the council will consider removing the per- manent restroom at 19th Avenue North and replacing it with a portable facility similar to those at the Ocean Front Park. The portable restrooms are covered over the top and a wall around the sides camoulfalges its appearance. They are also available dur- ing the offseason and night time hours when the perma- nent buildings are closed. Grounds maintenance direc- tor Gary Meadors in a Jan. 3 memo to City Manager George Forbes said the 19th Avenue North location.is only open for use four to five months out of the year and is in need of sig- nificant repairs. Built more than 25 years ago, the cost to renovate the exist- ing building is estimated at $32,000 compared to a $17,600 cost to demolish the facility and bring in portable rest- rooms with walls and fencing. "This location is in a mostly residential area and can. be serviced with portable toilets that will be available all year," Meaidors'sati noting that ai new shower tower would be installed at the endzone for beachgoers. Last summer,, numerous complaints were'logged from residents, pier patrons and tourists regarding the state of the permanent. restrooms, prompting city officials to review the entire operation of the restrooms. The City Council approved a three-month pilot program last July to have a cleaning firm maintain the oceanfront rest- rooms for $15,768 with an option to extend on a monthly basis. In previous years,, the city staffed seasonal .part time employees to both open and clean the restrooms, which were operated primarily in the spring and summer months and on peak weekends in the, fall and winter. An increased demand for public facilities and a lack of interested applicants for the' job moved the city to' hire a contractor. Coverall Cleaning was con- tracted to staff and, clean the restrooms while the city main- tained one palt-time position to oversee the temporary con- tract, stock supplies such as toi- let paper and paper towels and handle calls for service repairs.

Eleven individuals have applied to fill the Seat Four vacancy created by a councilor resigning last month. It is worth wondering, though, where were all of these :interested parties during the last election? Each of the applicants will be given a list of six ques- tibns compiled by the council. The applicants will also be given a brief opportunity to address the council before a finaldecision is made. With 11 applicants, the decision is bound to be diffi- cult. Several of the applicants already have a record of service to the community. Personal friendships and political allegiance should not decide the matter, though. The overriding issue is simple which applicant will best represent the citizens of Neptune Beach. Neptune Beach would be well served by a speedy deci- sion:based on forthright, public discussion of each appli- cant's merit. To do otherwise may avoid some hurt feel- ings, but provide no assurances that the right representa- * tive will be chosen. : Letters to the editor: Run amok politics taking over media To the editor: Can your editor and car- toonist be so naive as to believe that there are no ter- Srorists in our country? Maybe they were both busy on Sept. 11, 2001 and didn't notice what happened. Or, maybe they haven't seen what has happened around the world in Spain, England, U.S.S. Cole, Russian school children, Marine barracks in Beirut, on and on and on. Also, the wording shows an incredible bias as well as com- plete misunderstanding of what has been happening.

Not that my husband I could have afforded the adorable t abode with gingerbread trim ) and white picket fence at the e time; I'd simply dreamed of - living in such a unique home g for over a decade. STodd and Wendy fixed the 1 property up even cuter than it y was. To start with they paint- r ed the house blue (my favorite r color), added white shutters to 1 match the fence, hung a 1 swing on one side of the s porch, and set a white wicker - table and chairs on the other. s Two fat felines and a pair of dogs soon joined the house- hold. They looked like a mag- azine cover while peering out of the Priscilla cd~aif n franied ',windows or-lounging' near the swing. SA few years after moving in, Wendy had twin boys. The Sight of iy neighbor sitting in the porch swing reading to her children while their furry foursome listened nearby did little to alleviate my jealousy. Things changed when Wendy took up horseback rid- ing. Four years ago she and Todd bought five acres and made plans to build a new Some complete with stables and a riding arena. "Let me know when you The 'real third a c-to l f nhnt'no-ranhv As oois ot pnouograpyv Become more advanced Ajand easy to operate, cameras are everywhere, recording every minute of our lives. Not only are important events taped and pho- tographed, but experiences, are lived out with a camera glued to eyeballs. My daughter and I recently spent the weekend at Disney., The crowds were moderate, and with only one child along, I had some attention left for people watching, my favorite sport. One thing I noticed was the amount of people who con- stantly had video camcorders raised to their eyes. In every venue, there was invariably someone who taped the entire deal, never once looking up to watch the real thing. As we were waiting in the lobby for the Hall of Presidents to begin, a woman. stood in front of a display case containing personal pres- idential items, and s-l-o-w-l-y' scanned each one. I'm talking 15 minutes worth. She then proceeded to tape the entire show inside, never once looking up to catch the real presentation, Which is so lifelike you almost forget that they aren't the real presidents talking. I saw this same scenario played out by someone all day long. The only person I had to become personally involved with was the guy seated in front of me on the log plume roller coaster, the climax of which is a 50-fopt almost ver- tical plummet into a pool of water. My daughter and I were in the rear seat of the car, because I'm too chicken to RHONDA REESE REESE'S PIECES put your old house on the. market," I'd told Wendy at the time. Last month Todd and' Wendy's new dream home .and critter center was com- pleted which meant my "dream" two-story, was again for sale. "Just go by and look," Wendy advised. "lake your- cselfiat(home. -I'll leave th~ d e3 ,under the back porch door- ., mat." Yesterday I stopped by at: the end of my morning walk. After opening the creaky pick- et fence gate, I meandered around the pansy outlined yard, satin the porch swing and pretended I waS dinirig at the wicker table. "Oh this is so beautiful," I thought. I : Then I ventured into the back yard. To my complete surprise, the lawn was small and not well kept. Because of the tree roots, dirt filled bar- ren spaces I'd imagined were pasture like patches of green. The fence was sagging due to the settling of the back area, which was a just foot away from a nature preserve. A "nature preserve" of wetland swamp.. Rocks'that were once part of a walk way had cracked and crumbled along with two algae-covered bird feeders and a decorative stone wheelbar- row. 'v"ow," I thought. "This. doesn't look as inviting as [ thought it did." The house was also much e smaller than I'd imagined. The back porch, which was only partially visible from the side yard where I'd always peeked, was several feet short- er than I'd pictured it, and the lattice work around the bot-. - tom was in need of replace- ment or'painting. "The only negative thing y about the houses that you have to have flood insurance," -Wendv told me later. That was not the only nega- tive thing. Further investiga- tion revealed that the home needed a new roof, a new wall in the kitchen due to a leak, : and a serious repair to the sprinkler system. I left with no desire to ever live there. Most important, I departed with a priceless reminder. Looks can certainly be deceiving. Whether it involves a house or people f who live there, it pays to take time to get the big picture. ig' stocks our memory banks ANN VON THROWN COLUMNIST ride any closer to the front. Each car floats through a sce- nic tale of Uncle Remus, Brer Rabbit, and it's so gorgeous that you almost forget you're about to be dropped over the, edge. So anyway, the guy in front of us floated along and taped the entire ride, never once looking up. When I realized that he was going to keep tap- ing all the way over the falls, I grabbed his shoulder and told him to put it in his lap before my daughter and I got our faces smashed with a flying metal camera. One father taped the entire ride on.Dumbo the Flying Elephant, never once looking down to see the look of joy and wonder on his child's face. He's going to have to hand out Dramamine tablets before he shows that video. My question is this: Why would you want to experience life through a 2-by-2-inch flat one-dimensional screen? One of the biggest draws for me at a' place like Disney is its three- dimensional appeal. The col- ors, shadowing, depth, and detail make Disney the pre- mier resort that it is, If the tables were turned, and some- one told these people they could only experience their day through a tiny flat screen,. they would have screaming fits. But over and again, I saw that choice being made. I can't imagine watching these slow-moving videos at: home. There is no way you can mimic, the experience of seeing it firsthand, and the agony of watching a video of items in a display case goes without saying.. SAnother camera quirk I can't fathom is the constant still pictures being taken. One large family posed for a pic- ture as we waited for the bus at the hotel, then another when we were ridingin the bus, then another in the bags search line, and so on. One trip must fill 10 photo albums:. "Now here's Johnny on Jan. 10 at 9 a.m., and then at 9:15, and oh, here he is at 9:22, and oh boy, here he is on Jan 11!" The storage required for the. photographic accounts of these peoples lives must be staggering. Technological advances sometimes get the best of us. The possibility of using an item of technology to accomplish a task often clouds the practicality of it, The real thing is often best, and stocks our memory bank for years to come. The remorse of knowing that my recollections of something depended on the ability to find and operate a video play- er would be grave indeed.

KATHLEEN rlEDu BAILEY EDITOR Silencing whispers about care at Beaches hospital Started out the new year in debt owing thanks to an awful lot of nice people, particularly in the Beaches medical community. I got sick over the holidays and ended up spending New Year's Eve (and a few days before and after) as a guest in the critical care unit at Baptist Medical Center-Beaches. From the paramedics who escorted me there to the nurs- es and doctors who treated me with infinite patience and. showed a willingness to answer dozens of questions, I encountered nothing but pro- fessionalism. I've lived at the Beaches for more than three decades. I've heard the whispers from many who say, "If you're really sick, you need to go in town." Well, it is time to silence those whispers for good. The care I received at the Beaches hospital was tremen- dous without exception. Dr. Sam Fern orchestrated the emergency admission which, me being me, I balked at initially but acceded to very quickly lacking the breath, literally, to protest further. The paramedics and firefighters (self-admitted avid Leader readers); the nurses: Patricia in ER, Allison, Singh, Jennifer and the many others in CCU who work 12-hour shifts; the entire ER staff; and the various technicians who stringently followed the rule, "No more than two sticks allowed to get' blood." All combined talents crisply while offering opti- mistic and friendly care. By the end of a nearly week- long stay, I got the clear impression that each staffer had been hired not only for their tremendous technical skills, but also for their will- Singness to go the extra mile for patient care. Companies usually talk a lot about cus- tomer care. At Beaches Medical Center, it was a genuine pleasure to see customer care in action. You know something is right when even the housekeeping staff is chipper while mopping floors and tells a patient, "Never mind the mess, we're glad to see it because that's our job." I was fortunate to have a room in the new East Pavilion. Aside from being as attractive as some nice hotel rooms, the room had a window with an eastern view so that each Morning's sunrise was a pleas- ant accompaniment to start the day. You can be sure patients in the hospitals in town don't get the same view. Even hospitalized, I was reminded of the charm of liv- ing at the Beaches. Privacy laws can be passed and rules can be invoked, but the Beaches is a closely-knit com- munity. A volunteer who knew me stopped in to say hello and asked whether my stay was secret. I couldn't help but laugh as secret would have been the last thing possible. Two doors away on the left, my mother's very good friend was hospital- ized. A few doors away on the right, a neighbor was hospital- ized. One of the respiratory therapists I encountered had graduated high school with .me; Beaches Hospital serves the Beaches community, so don't be surprised to see your friends and neighbors when you use the facility. I am writ- ing this column from home and expect to return to the office shortly. The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader Page 5A Business Whale of a tale Saturday at Guana FROM STAFF The whale ship Essex, known as a lucky ship for its successful whaling voyages, left. Nantucket, Mass., in August 1819 for what was sup-, posed to be a 2-1/2-year trip to the South Pacific. But within less than two years, 13 of the 21-member crew were dead, and the eight others had entered maritime history, having survived for three months some in a whale boat and some on a deserted island after their ship was sunk by an attacking sperm whale. The story of the Essex, which inspired a young Herman BUSINESS BRIEF FROM STAFF Phil Pierce has been named :.the top realtor at Prudential Network Realty's Atlantic Beach office for 2005, selling more than $26.3 million in res- idential units over the Past 12 months.

Melville to write what would become his most famous novel, "Moby Dick," will be told at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Guana reserve's Environmental Education Center south of Ponte Vedra.: Joe Shannon, a retired high school history teacher and a volunteer at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve, recounts the story of the Essex's final voyage at 2 p.m. at the education center. Shannon, who retired to St. Augustine 18 years, ago. from New York, gives talks on nature, history and archeology to civic, church, conservation and military groups in the Jacksonville area. Since 2002, he has been a lecturer for Norwegian Cruise Lines, which has taken him and his presentations to Alaska, the. Caribbean and Central and South America. He said he has given the Essex talk on cruises to Alaska,, South America 'and. Central America, usually tying it in "with whales in general." In giving his presentations, he reads[] a couple of para- graphs of 'Moby Dick,' and you can see the similarities," Shannon said in a telephone interview. After giving such 'a talk about a year .ago in South America, he said, a woman approached him and asked to speak with him. "She turned out to be a rela- tive of one of the crew on the Essex," he said. The highlight of that cruise was chatting with the woman, he said. Shannon's presentation at the Guana is included in the cost of admission to the center: $2 for adults and $1 for ages 10 to 17. Those under 10 are free. The center is located near the Guana dam, off State Road A1A about 12 miles south of Mickler Road or 17 miles south of J. Turner Butler Boulevard. Call 904-823-4500.

Players: Experts weigh in on move to May 2007 Cont. from A-1 "Our hotels are really busy in March and April," she said. "May is a slightly softer month for the area, so it will really help give May that extra [boost and] .. will help extent .our peak season." 1.J She said that the Match- 65 bed tax in St. Johns County totaled $643,000, compared with $421,000 in May, shi said. Bed taxes are levied on hotel rooms and other short- term rentals. Tourist-related expenditures for the two months show a similar distinction, she said. Tourist-related expenditures in St. Johns Count)' totaled $69 million in March 2005, whereas the May total was $57 million, Carter said. The move to May, 'said by some to be a step in making The Players Championship the fifth major tournament in pro- fessional golf, will give the area more notoriety because of the international news coverage it will get, she said. "Moving it to May will give it so much more coverage" because it will fall between the Masters in April and the U.S. Open in June, Carter said. "It's really great timing, to give it that international expo- sure." Sprowell agreed. "It just makes Jacksonville and Ponte Vedra and the whole: area look that much better,"' ,she said. 4jeffrfyOliasamii i~r6telflan- ager at' th' i Shwgrass Marriott Resort, located within walking distance of The Players Championship, said he doesn't foresee much of a change in the amount of business because of the change to May. The Marriott's business picks up after the first week of January, he said, noting that from now until May the hotel is nearly sold out. "The only thing that we'll change will be the type of busi- ness," he said, explaining that the "fuin" business will shift from one week in March to one week in May, and that corpo- rate business is expected to fill in for the absence of The Players in March. Oliasami, president of the Ponte Vedra Beach Chamber of Commerce, said many smaller businesses may be unaware of the impending change of TPC week. ' "From the Chamber's point of view, I really don't think it's a negative," he said. Many restaurants and other businesses 'rely on customers from large hotels, he said, adding, "That's not going to change." Another local issue the move Scbuld impact thevolunteers who provide much of the man- power 'during the event - apparently is not a concern of tournament official. Brian Goin, executive direc- tor of The Players, said in a teleconference Wednesday that he doesn't expect the shift to May will change the strong, volunteer base on which offi- cials rely for The Players. "We have the strongest vol- unteer base. in golf, and I believe this will continue into our changes for 2007." Simpson wondered. whether the two-month delay will also delay the community spiff-up that typically precedes the LMaiBca'fate shw.^i. -lf to ". People use the timeto get- their homes and yards ready for visitors, she roted, and St. Johns Count' sends out work- ers to spruce up the median strips in Ponte Vedra, although the county has said its cleanup is not related to the tourna- ment. "We'll see what ,happens with the palm fronds and the palm trees on A1A," she said.

I I SPORTS The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader Page A7 Girls basketball back on track Squeaker over Orange Park brings Senators a third straight victory ROB DeANGELO SPORTS EDITOR Quick jabs from the sports page headlines L eg-stomping, gun-wav- ing Marcus Vick thinks he's ready for the NFL. Funny, before he crunched the leg of Louisville's Elvis Dumervil in the Gator Bowl, before he was dismissed by. Virginia Tech for assorted transgressions and before he was arrested for pointing a gun at some teens at a Virginia McDonald's, Vick told reporters he needed another season of college ball. Guess he's changed his mind now that he's out of options. It's only mid-January but spring is clearly in the air: Baseball and softball teams at Nease and Fletcher have begun practices.. One reason The Players Championship always draws the strongest field in golf is that it's played in March. First big event on the calen- dar. Now that it's moving to May, wonder how many players especially the international ones wilL, , opt for other events on thle' European, Australian or Asian tours? The sun may finally have set on the University of Southern California's modern-day football dynasty. No question the Trojans were college foot- ball's preeminent team over the past few seasons, but with quarterback Matt Leinart and running backs Reggie Bush and LenDale White leaving for the NFL, USC faces an uphill battle to.retain its prominence. So far Florida basketball is eclipsing Florida football in the national spotlight. While Urban Meyer's Gators entered the college football season with tremendous hype and equally lofty expectations, results were mixed..Meanwhile, the Gators remain undefeated in hoops and are ranked sec- ond in the country just behind No.' 1 Duke., The Winter Olympics are nearly upon us and there's been very little fanfare. The U.S. team has some excellent athletes with a chance to take gold in Turin, Italy, but until events like snowball fight- ing, shoveling sidewalks, jumpstarting dead car bat- teries and slipping on black ice get added to the roster, it'll be hard for Americans to get excited . about the winter games. The girls soccer team at Nease looks to be peaking at just the right time of the season. The defending state champions earned recent victories over St. Augustine and Bartram Trail. Featuring a tough, stingy defense, rock-steady midfield and speed up front, the Panthers may go very far in postsea- son play. While the marijuana charges he was picked up on Monday night are no laughing matter, who \ knew Reggie Williams would emerge as the pos- session-type receiver the Jaguars have been looking for? Best bet for the weekend: Indianapolis Colts over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC playoffs. FROM STAFF Following a great start to the season, then a four-game slump around the holidays, Fletcher High's girls basketball team seems to be back on track with three consecutive wins includ-. ing Tuesday night's over a game Orange Park squad. The Senators won a 33-32 squeaker over the Raiders, ,with Alyssa Patterson paving the way for, Fletcher with 17 points. Alex . Brooks chipped in with seven, Morgan King and Whitney Wessels added three apiece. "I'm just so proud of them and the girls' abil- SENATOR ity to bounce RAIDERS back 'from a rough stretch dur- ing the season," said Senators co- coach Beck)y Jansen. "Some other teams might have just folded at that point, but our sen- ior leadership really got every- one on the same page and we're back to playing good basket- ball." While Orange Park's sharp- shooters pasted Fletcher with three-pointers when the teams met in November, Jansen said a change in defense prevented a similar outcome this time around., The Senators employed an extended 3-2 type of defense tor most of the game, and a man-to- man scheme in the closing min- utes. "The point was not to leave their shooters unguarded from the outside," Jansen 'said. "It worked well in terms of limiting their effectiveness from three- point range." With the victory, Fletcher improved to 11-7 overall and 5-2 in conference play. The team was slated to travel to Gainesville Buchholz Friday night in the last regular season dis- trict game before the start of the Gateway Cdnfer- ence Tournament Jan. i6..I Following the conference e-vent, the Lady Senators will be back in S 33 action Jan. 20 wheri they host 32 Terry Parker- (pending the out- come of the tournament Jan. 24 at Raines, a trip to Nease High on Jan. 25 and the regular season finale against Ed White at home on Jan. 26. The stretch of games on con- secutive nights will prepare, Fletcher for the District Tour-I nament which begins Jan. 31 and ends Feb. 3. "I like the way the seniors on this team have really taken.it upon themselves to get things back on track," said Jansen. "Coach [Kevin] Brown told them it's their last chance' to play in a Fletcher uniform and the season will become whatever they make of it."

There is a lot of truth to that,' but these three factors aren't necessarily all that's involved. I like to think that luck is also a factor. I believe that these four factors actually define what a successful fisherman is. The luck factor is just that - pure luck. Why did a certain fish hit a certain bait at the right time for one angler when there might have been dozens of other baits present that could just as easily have been hit? Was it-luck? 1 prefer to think it was more skill and preparation than luck. Skill in fishing comes with time and effort. The more times you go fishing, hopeful- ly, the more skill you can CAPTAIN ROGER WALKER COLUMNIST develop. Some of our better fishermen in the area have been fishing since they were big enough to hold a fishing rod. They might have started out catching croakers at Brown's Creek4 but now sailfish and wahoo are more apt to occupy their time. These fishermen have hones their skills more and more with every trip they have made. Fishing is constant- ly evolving and they are con- stantly improving their skills. So far, we've covered the luck factor which you either have or you don't, and the skill factor which more times than not can be developed. Preparation is the one factor that can be worked on immediately. Being an offshore fisherman presents more opportunities to be prepared for than being a surf fisherman. Fo example, surf fishing is relatively simple.. Bring a suitable rod and reel, the correct terminal tackle, and bait, and you can catch just about anything that swims in the surf. Offshore, there are so many different species that strike so many different baits that have to be prepared so many differ- ent ways that one might have to carry half a tackle store on a trip just to be prepared. - SHopefully not, but I always do try to have several plans of attack ready when I go off- shore. I call them Plan A; B, C and of course, when desperate, Plan D. Plan A might be to secure live bait and simply troll it. Plan B might be to carry some frozen bait just in case no live bait can be found. Plan C could be using artificial lures as bait and Plan D, for despera- tion, could even be to scrap the trip and go surf fishing. The point is to be prepared, so here are a few tips to help all of us out iri that department. First, always match your rods and reels to the species of fish you're going after. Surf fishing for whiting with a Penn International 30 just won't cut it. Twenty-pound and 50- pound outfits will do fine. Trolling live baits offshore calls for 20-pound outfits with medium-light rods. Wahoo and dolphin fishing is where that International 30 would come in with 30 to 50-pound line and medium-heavy rods. Making leaders might sound easy and to an extent it is. but making a perfect leader is sometimes hard. Length, hook size, swivel size and leader size Scan all be determining factors when your success or lack there of is measured at the end of the day. . ;I know lots of king fishermen who use double treble hook rigs and who carry at least 100 rigs with them when they go offshore. Are they planning onh using that many rigs in one day? No, but they are prepared with the proper rig size for any size bait they happen to catch. Having that many rigs means that somehow you need a system to keep them all straight. I use Zip Lock bags for that. They're inexpensive and do a great job for me. Put indi- vidual rigs in the bags, using a Sharpie mark the bags as to the type of rig that it is, group the bags together with a rubber band, then store the bags in a Tupperware type of container. I've even got different contain- ers for bottom fishing and off- shore trolling. One other thing about rigs: If you find one that works well, duplicate it exactly. Be very meticulous about it. Don't just thrown some rigs together just' to have some. Do it right. Good luck and good fishing!

I described these items briefly, and just want you to know that I'll go into more depth on several of the items in the weeks to come. For instance, the topic of pruning could be covered in a month's worth of articles, not necessarily because it is so com- plicated, but simply because there are many facets to how and why it is done, and doing it correctly is like learning a new sport. It takes time to learn the nuances and to realize that there is no oneway that fits all plants types. However, one subject I hit very loosely upon was protect- ing our plants from freezes. It seems to me that I go over this one so many times that I don't need to spend an article on it. But, then I realize that there are so many new people to the Beaches area of Jacksonville who have never been through a freeze here because the\' now live in sunny, warm Florida. I am sure some of those peo- ple, and you may be one of them, is most unhappy that north Florida does indeed receive some very hard freezes in its otherwise bland winter. And the damage from those freezes can kill a lawn in a heartbeat. So, today I will cover freeze protection and what to do after a freeze hits. Bear with me if you already know this subject matter, and help your new neighbor who might not. This past weekend we received a bone chilling two nights of freezing temperatures. In some places the temperature got as low as 25 degrees, while in others it hovered around 32. i Generally speaking, the clos- er you live to the ocean or the waterway, the more of a buffer you will have when predictions are supposed to be very low. You may be lucky enough to never receive a freeze, especial- ly if you have a dense tree canopy. Conversely, you may get. slammed because even though you live close to those protect- ing bodies of water that gener- ate heat, you also plant.very tender and susceptible tropical- like plants, and they get frozen even without evidence of frost. Here are a few examples of. the types of plant material that will not handle a freeze very well: 1. Bougainvillea, allemanda, mandevilla, poinsettia, many gingers, most ferns, and orchids. 2. Newly-planted sod, no matter what the variety. 3. Newly-planted trees and shrubs that have not been ade- quately watered, or even if they have, they have been in the ground less than 6 months. 4. Hibiscus and hydrangeas 5. Evergreen plants that have just been pruned or have just sprouted new, tender growth. 6. Succulents such as kalan- choe, any of the cacti, and any plant that has a milky sap. 7. Newly-planted annuals even ones like pansies and petunias if you've planted them one day and that evening you get a freeze. 8. Many palms, especially the lacey, lovely robellini. 9. Most houseplants that are outdoors, perhaps on your porch. I am sure there are See MATHESON, B-2 by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF WRITER R ooted in southern tradition, rockabilly was born from rock- 'n roll but evolved into its own dis- tinct genre by blending shards of country and blue- grass The genre is reminiscent of its early 1950s heritage with souped up hot rods, pom- padours and a lifestyle stripped bare of modern influence. "The cars and the motorcy- cles that people built, you didn't just go down to Auto Zone and buy your parts. You hand built all your own stuff," James "Fish" Alcorn of the rising rockabilly band Kings of Hell said Wednesday as he lunched at a Jacksonville Beach restau- rant. "Some guys are keeping it traditional like that and there are some guys that are putting a more modern motor in older cars. It's cool as long as you are doing it yourself. The music is kind of a throw-off of all of that." The Kings of Hell head- lines the inaugural Rockabilly Rumble featuring hot rods, bikes and live music by Artimus Piledriver, the Van Orsdels and the Blackfop Drifters Saturday at Buffalo's Southwest Cafe in Orange Park. The all-day event begins at noon at 6055 Voungerman Circle. Cover is $10. Sharing a collective inter- est in bikes, cars and music can often signal the begin- ning of a rockabilly band. "You just start jamming with some guys and the next thing you know, you and \our buddies are building cars and bikes and you have a band," said Alcorn, vocalist and frontman for Kings of Hell and owner of a 1951 Ford isee photo below. Alcorn was a stand-up bassist in the rockabilly band Dead Man's Hand before becoming a founding mem- ber of Kings of Hell. Dead Man's Hand started six years ago, finding moder- ate success with a small dedi- cated following and a short- lived contract on an inde- pendent record label. Alcorn said the group dis- banded after two years, lust as he was beginning to enjoy the ride. Keeping the group together proved more diffi- cult than playing music. Guitarist Rick Nessmith, also of Dead Man's Hands, and Alcorn decided to move on and establish a new band with a traditional rockabilly sound. "He talked me into learn- ing how to play guitar and trying to start something up," Alcorn said. Nessmith, a veteran musi- cian of 20 years who also gives guitar lessons from his home, recognized in Alcorn a natural musical ability and offered to give him a guitar if he was willing to learn a new instrument.

'Hostel disturbing film experience by HAL NEWSOME REVIEWER G graphic violence and gore, can, and often does, have an appro- priate place in movies. In the horror genre, George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" and its three sequels especially last \ear's "Land of the Dead" would have been nowhere near as effective without images of zombies munching on their hapless victims.. "Pulp Fiction" (19941 and "Frank Miller's Sin City" last year also owe at least some of their success to the shock value of the sudden and oftentimes unexpected blood-and-guts scenes. And then there's "Hostel." A dark and mood)' little movie, "Hostel" mutates from a quirky, well-acted suspense mystery with goth- ic overtones into a splatter film reminiscent of the low-' budget sex-and-blood tests- w which cropped up with alarming abundance in the '70s and '80s. Whether or not the copi- ous gore and graphic scenes of torture are essential to this movie or are merely gratuitous excesses thrown in for shock (or gross-out' value will depend on the viewer. But be assured,-"Hostel" is not for the faint-of-heart. Though well-directed and superbly acted, "Hostel" has more in common visually with recent gore-fests such prnoi.- iu .nad The Cyrus Chestnut Trio features Michael Hawkins on upright bass, Neal Smith on drums and Chestnut on piano. Chestnut natural pick for BFAS series FROM STAFF Cyrus Chestnut. said to be one of the most talented jazz pianists of his generation, brings his trio to Jacksonville Beach this evening for a free concert, the fourth in this sea- son's Beaches Fine Arts Series. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul's By-the-Sea Episcopal Church at the corner of Fifth Street and 11th Avenue North. Doors open at 6:45 p.m., and seating is frst-come, first-served. Appearing for the fust time in the concert series, Chestnut was a natural pick, said Kathy Wallis, executive director of BFAS. "He ywas recommended to me b\-y'arcus Roberts," Wallis said this week, referring to the Jacksonville-born jazz pianist, who has played in the Beaches Fine Arts Series. "'MaicUl links he 's wonder: ful, so it seemed like a logical extension." .Chestnut and Roberts are contemporaries, having ben born tHf-nrie year 1963. Each got his musical start in his local church. Chestnut began playing piano when he was 6 at Mount Calvary Baptist Church in his hometown of Baltimore; Roberts was first exposed to music at the Jacksonville church where his mother was a gospel singer. Both began formal music studies at a young age: Roberts at age 12, Chestnut at age 9, when he was studying classical music at the Peabody Institute, Baltimore. Roberts was a music major at Florida State, Tallahassee, and Chestnut was awarded a degree in jazz composition and arranging from Berklee College of Music. Boston. Along the wav, each won awards and accolades. Chestnut began working as a sideman with leading players such as Dizzy Gillespie, Bradford Marsalis and Wynton Marsalis. The latter had a profound influence on the young Roberts, who toured with Marsalis from 1985 to 1991 and appeared on virtually all his recordings made during that time. The same year that Roberts debuted his 70-minute "Romance, Swing and. the. Blues," ushering in a promising decade for the Jacksonville native, Chestnut signed with Atlantic Records. That was 1993, and the resulting recording, "Soul Food," made it to the Top 10 on the jazz charts. Chestnut tours with his trio, plays solo in performances across the country and appears with many of the country's top symphony orchestras. Rooted in gospel. Chestnut pulls from his classical train- ing, blues, soul and bossa to form a "roundtable" that allows him to "sour to the power of music." Chestnut, along with Michael Hawkins on the upright bass and Neal Smith on drums, will give a free presen- tation to students at 10 a.m. today at St. Paul's Episcopal. With Duval County public school students out of school today, Wallis said there will be room for youngsters who want to attend the free event. Tonight's concert will be fol- lowed by a reception, with the art of Ryan Ketterman and the photographs of Harriet Pruette on display. Jay Hernandez playsan American backpacking through Europe in "Hostel." as "The Devil's Rejects" than it does with the film-noir- ish "Sin City." Released Jan. 6, "Hostel" tells the story of two Americans, Paxton and Josh, and an Icelandic friend, Oli, backpacking their way across Europe in search of sex which they find in abundance'). Their freewheeling and enjoyable trip comes to a creepy and abrupt halt, however, when they end up at a hostel in Slovakia. After the friends meet, three women willing and eager to fulfill their desires, Oli disappears. The experi- ence for Paxton and Josh rapidly degenerates into blood-chilling horror; the hostel they are staying at "recruits" guests to be unwilling victims of grue- some acts of torture. The perpetrators of the heinous acts are men wealthy enough to pay for the "privilege" of inflicting whatever acts their deviant minds can conceive. The "tools of the trade" used to maim the captives include an acetylene torch, bolt cutters, an electric drill and, the old standby, a chainsaw. While these acts of torture and mutilation have been a film staple for decades, rarely has a mainstream movie featured so many acts on such gruesome display. In spite of its graphic bru- tality, however; "Hostel" suc- ceeds on several levels. As a suspense-filled thriller, it has enough plot turns to prevent its less- See HOSTEL, B-4 KEELY& Du photo submted Jennifer Gagnon and Jack Wallace rehearse a scene from "Keely & Du," a play staged tonight and Saturday at Players by the Sea community theatre in Jacksonville Beach.

Matheson: Cover any new annuals Cont. from B-1 some plants that I have left out, but hopefully, you'll get the picture. So, what should you do when you hear that a freeze warning is predicted? I recommend that you fol- low these steps, especially if you are new to the area and have not been through a win- ter before. Once you have beer through a few, you'll know what in your yard you'll have to give special protection to. The key to.all the rules is to create less stress to our plant material; a strong, healthy plant can deal with nature's stresses far better than a weak one. And if you plant things that are recommended for this ;areg.you:'4~.be wqrtking, with , i fbth eF'Nathu.re' rather- than fighting her every step of the way. 1. Always water your lawn and shrubs 24 to 48 hours ahead of the freeze. Do not water during the freeze ( only commercial grow ers can get away with this); you do not want to wake up and find icicles dangling from your shrubs. If you water ahead of the freeze, the plant; material will be at its best to endure the freeze with roots fully filled with water. Less stress equals better survival.. 2. Never mow or prune just before a predicted freeze. The reasoning is that a cut leaves an open wound allowing for quick dieback to that area. Wait another week, or even ,few days, and do this job whe: the freeze has gone elsewhere 3. Never lay sod right before a freeze. It always takes sod a few weeks at the best to get it roots established with the existing soil. And only then, Sunder the best of circum- stances, does the grass have better resistance to damage. Even a healthy, well-estab- lished, properly watered lawn will show signs of damage. from a freeze.'The blades will turn brown, often with purple or brown edging. This is normal and ok IF the grass is healthy. It will come back strong and green in spring and will have suffered only top damage and not root damage. Newly laid sod will . suffer both and will likely be dead come spring. That's a big expensive problem. 5. If winds accompany the freeze, water right after it has passed' This replenishes watei lost due to those winds. 6. Mulch all shrub beds heavily, but especially mulch the tender, tropical plants I mentioned above. It is impera. tive to protect their roots since it almost certain that a hard freeze will hurt their leaves. The plant will not die if its roots are kept warm. Shrubs that were planted in the fall should be ok, but if they look scrawny or like no new growth has appeared since planting, you can assume their: root system is not established and therefore, you'll need to add more mulch to protect the roots. If you have the tender plant in pots, bring them into the garage or under a porch roof t( give them added protection. 7. Cover tropical palms such as the robellini, and if possible push one of those spotlight gadgets into the ground and aim it at the roots of the palm. These palms are very suscepti- ble to freeze damage and will not recover. If you lose yours, select a less vulnerable variety as replacement. 8. Cover any newly-planted annual with sheets, blankets, etc. But be sure to remove the n cover during the daytime so the plant does not cook under- neath it. More plants are lost because people forget to remove their coverings; a greenhouse effect is created during the day. How can a plant go through 20 degree temps at night and then face 85 degree temps during the s 'day? '. .., eeptbe*g riipgs Iohao4. ; -- beca ose 'oft fiteh free' tSgife. in groups of two or three nights, so you'll want to re- cover when you get home from' work, or if possible, just before the sun goes down, cap- turing as much warmth from the day as possible. S 9. If you have citrus, you'll need to get some insulation foam pieces and wrap it around the grafted portion of the trunk. This area is about 8 inches up from the ground and is easily seen as a place where.two pieces of wood have been 'glued" together, looking somewhat like a scar. If you do not ivant to use foam, then banking the graft with sand, dirt or even mulch is fine. Just remember to remove it come springtime. The reason for this is that citrus is one of those plants that really comes as two pieces fit together. The part that is in the ground is from what we call a rootstock that is capable of withstanding ground' freezes, while the top, green, fruiting part is from another stock that gives you the type of fruit you have selected, be. it grapefruit, tangerines, oranges, lemons, etc. If the grafted area dies, the top growth will also die. Green growth may come out from the ground, but when the fruit forms, it will'be grossly sour Sand not look at all like what S you had before. Generally, cit- rus is the only type of plant that we have to worry about from this standpoint. I know this is a lot of infor- mation, but if you understand what goes on in a freeze, it will make sense for you to do what you do to protect your plants. The landscape is a very valu- able part of your property, so use this winter as a learning time. There are so many new sub- divisions going up that the. yard could be the last thing the new homeowner thinks about when the temperatures are predicted to get real cold.

The acting, especially the three main leads Jay Hernandez as the self- assured Paxton, Derek other blood-soaked classics. "Hustle and Flow" The story of a black pimp who has a crisis of conscience. And you thought "Cabin in the Sky" was an embarrass- ment to African-Americans. Richardson as the insecure Josh, and Eythor Gudjonsson as the free-spir- ited Oli is also high-cali- bre. .In spite of its merits, "Hostel" is definitely not for everyone. This is the kind of movie that can inspire nightmares in even the most jaded horror-movie fan. "Hostel" is rated R for "bru- tal torture and violence, strong sexual content, lan- guage and drug use." On the dreaded one-to-five-. star rating system, I give "Tristan & Isolde" four stars. It's a romance set in England's Dark Ages, yet as ominous as that sounds, it's both a touching love story. and a muscular piece of film- making. (Kudos for the. latter to director Kevin Reynolds and exec producer Ridley.Scott, who had planned to direct this himself decades ago, JiBfore "Alien" made his ''caeer.) -. ; ... Why not the full five stars, then? It's because the moviemakers, efforts to turn scenes James Franco (best known as But the dumped boyfriend in es a ch "Spider-Man") into the latest of Frar in beefcake are a tad too obvi- pouty ous. be less Heroine Isolde (charming female Sophia Myles) is always was fo shown demurely covered, cinem even during the sweaty love Kilme STEVE BAILEY. REVIEWER the camera never lance to take inve nco's six-pack abs lips. This will pri s of a problem for e moviegoers thaj ir me, but I still sa a alieadv has one r too many. That said, the. movie takes the predictable doomed-_ " romance machinations and puts some surprisingly refreshing spins on them. 'The story is that those crazy madcap countries Ireland and England just won't stop their silly fighting. Tristan (Franco), an exem- plary British swordsman, is S fiercely wounded in battle, to the point that he is thought to be dead and gets sent out to sea in a military funeral. -. -"vrri : -Natch, where should Tris,, loll up but on the very Irish shore that holds Isolde, a feminist (relative to her era, Smiss- anyway) who happens to entory know something about poi- Sor his sons and realizes that Tris, obably faint heart can be revived if r she cures him in time. And n it oh boy, does she revive him. ay that I write this synopsis with Val nmy tongue glued firmly to my cheek, but the movie is truly satisfying at all levels. The swashbuckling and bloodletting is'played without irony, so it should please the primeval among us. And even though we know perfectly well that T & I's love will ultimately be unfulfilled a la "Romeo and Juliet," it's the not getting there that's half the fun. I often wonder how a par- ticular movie gets "greenlight- ed" for production, whether it's a great premise or a te ble oney ,- " Wouldn't you hate to be the scriptwriter who has to pitch a Dark Ages English- Irish romance, especially when a lot of moviegoers couldn't find either country on a globe? Happily, "Tristan and Isolde" has perfect pitch. "Tristan and Isolde" is rated. PG-13 for mild adult lan- guage, sexual situations, and much graphic violence. Dont expect much from Martin's retread by STEVE BAILEY. initially, I was going to do a. column about the entire new year's movie roster. Then I saw the list and had to take an extra dose of Paxil. So let's just take the ele- phant one bite at a time and look at the movies coming out for winter. If you don't yet feel guilty enough about being a hetero- sexual, the gay Western "Brokeback Mountain" opens here today, followed next week by "Desperate Housewife" Felicity Huffman's cross-dressing turn in "Transamerica.": Speaking of cross-dressing, Hollywood just can't enough of black guys as old ladies, as evidenced by sequels from Martin Lawrence ("Big Momma's House 2," Jan., 27) and Tyler Perry ("Madea's Family Reunion," Feb. 24). "Match Point" lave you heard about the new WVoody Allen drinking game? Hoist a shot every time a critic says . that this is Allen's best movie in years. l(anuary/Februarvy S"When a Stranger Calls" -" ...chances are it's a horror-flick remake. (Feb. 3) "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World" In a way that only he would have the nerve to do it, comedian Albert Brooks goes on a fact- and comedy-finding tour in the Middle East. (Feb. 10). "Curious George" - Supposedly, 2-D animation is being phased out by CGI, but hand-drawn is the only way to go for that nosey monkey. The ubiquitous Will Ferrell voices The Man in the Yellow Hat. (Feb. 10) "The Pink Panther" Don't expect much from Steve Martin's retread of the venera- ble comedy. This was due as an MGM release six months ago, but . then Sony bought out MGM and put this one on the back burner. Perhaps, as Inspector Clouseau might say, e-neuf is' e-neuf. (Feb. 10) "The Shaggy Dog" Tim Allen stars in the latest out-of- mothballs Disney comedy. At least they gave, Lindsay Lohan a break for a while. (Mar. 10) "V for Vendetta" Natalie Portman battles a futuristic totalitarian regime. Like being Mrs. Darth Vader wasn,t enough for her resume? (Mar. 17) "A Scanner Darkly" - Having decimated rock music ("School of Rock") and "The Bad News Bears," director Richard Linklater's latest ani- mation/live-action combo defames revered sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick (author of "Blade Runner" and "Minority: Report"). (Mar. 31) S"Awesome: I *****, Shot That" White rappers The Beastie Boys (remember them?) gave cameras to 50 of their fans to record their con- cert last October. Great ^ ersatz filmmakers record ersatz rappers. Let's"just tear down the movie theaters and call it a day. (Mar. 31) "Basic Instinct 2" Sharon Stone returns. Presumably she can afford underwear now.

"They gave me all these books and I just kind of got obsessed with it. I just tried to figure out as much as I could," he said. "I basically downloaded some guitar chord charts off the Internet and started try- ing to figure some songs out." "He told me that in teach- ing guitar for 12 years, he's never seen anybody pick it up that fast," Alcorn said. "I could play about five or six. songs in two weeks and sing." Thinking three steps ahead, Alcorn started working toward filling the positions of drummer and upright bassist for a band that was not even a band -yet. He looked no farther than his best friend of 15 years Sarge Paulsen, an imposing man with a signature red goatee. With drummer. Dave Nissen rounding oiut the current lineup, the Kings of Hell first took the stage for open mic " night at The Fly's Tie Irish Pub in Atlantic Beach, where they played to an enthusiastic crowd. They have since played Jack .Rabbits, the Starlight Lounge in Five Points and the SeaWalk Mptel in Jacksonville Beach. . "It started as kind of a joke. We were watching "King of the Hill" and thought that's what we should call the band," Alcorn said. "The name kind of turns: people off because they think we play speed metal but we' are a traditional rockabilly band." SThis weekend marks the first festival slot for the Kings but there are no signs of the momentum cooling any time soon. On Jan. 18, the band departs for Reykjavik, Iceland, for' a whirlwind week of inter- national radio interviews and a television spot scheduled after a friend in the country tattooing passed out some CDs. Their universal appeal also :allows the Kings of Hell room to play to a wide spectrum of people whether it's a bar or festival or a banquet or wed- ding. The diversity of their music is also compatible with harder punk and rock 'n roll bands. Despite all the accolades, Alcorn said the Kings are humbled by the response and eager to take things slow. Rather than signing with a label, they will instead hone their skills and develop a set list of covers including The Blasters, a California-based rockabi lly, band, and Nashville band the Planet Rockers to engage audiences and keep them interested until they are ready to move on to original material. "It's been over a year and we have nine original songs and probably two hours worth of material," Alcorn said. S"[The covers are] good rock- abilly music that hasn't been heard 30 or 40 times. We do a couple of songs by the Stray 'Cats that are older but recog- nizable." Upon returning from Iceland, the band would like to continue building its fol- lowing and is planning some gigs at Spare Time Grill & Tavern in Neptune Beach and would love to return to the Fly's Tie. : Alcorn is hopeful that the local scene will wafm up to the Kings of Hell after a brief resurgence years ago col- lapsed beneath the weight of the swing craze. "Swing killed the rockabilly scene that was going on six years ago," he said. "This band has snowballed into so much more than we ever thought it would be. I don't know where this is going but it would nice not to have to work anymore."
