Fletcher debuts new offense, defense See B-1 T" BEACHES Vol. 43. No. 96 LEADER Serving the communities of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Mayport and Ponte Vedra Beach since 1963 Appreciative AB council offers man return favor FROM STAFF The Atlantic Beach City Commission Monday reversed its denial of a resident's request for a development waiver after learning that the resident sold the city a portion of his proper- ty to facilitate a recent city project. The commission two weeks ago denied Ian McAfee a waiv- er to keep two sections of pavers he installed in the city right of way during a recent renovation project at his prop- erty at 824 Sherry Drive. The sections were a 10-foot paver area connecting his driveway and the sidewalk and a 15-foot parking apron in the right of way both not permitted per a city ordinance passed last sum- mer. But at the end of Monday's City Commission meeting Mayor Don Wolfson said he's had a change of heart after learning that McAfee had sold the city approximately 58 square feet of his land so the city could better construct a cut-through between Sherry Drive and Seminole Road as See PAVER, A-3 Photo by ROB DANGELO Susie Mashour sets the ball for teammate and sister Tern Mashour during the Highsmith Memorial beach volleyball tournament last Saturday in Jacksonville Beach.

Realtors balk at AB ban on leases by JEFFREY MINTON STAFF WRITER The Atlantic Beach City Commission Monday made it clear that short term rentals are illegal in the city, despite com- ments from the mayor and Realtors that the law can and will be circumvented. Renting residential properties for less than 90 days has long been against the law in Atlantic Beach, say city officials. But the commission at its meeting Monday unanimously approved a new ordinance that "clarifies"' that point. They did so at the recommendation of city staff which said the city code address- ing the issue was "hard to deci- pher." But some Realtors and even Mayor Don Wolfson at the meeting said that the code will be difficult to enforce. "I think there's an opportuni- ty here for circumvention [more] than anything else," WVolfson said. "There's no strength to this."

Mom asks cop to stop man from lewd act at Big movie FROM STAFF A homeless man was arrested Friday and charged with disor- derly intoxication for causing a disturbance during the Moonlight Movies event in Jacksonville Beach. The free family event fea- tured a screening of the Tom Hanks movie "Big" and was attended by several -hundred people and small children. A..mother approached a police officer just after 10:30 p.m. and pointed out a man on his back in the middle of a crowd gathered on the lawn at the SealValk Pavilion. The man, a 49-year-old tran- sient, was observed with his hand inside his unzipped pants and was moaning audibly as he fondled himself, police report- ed. Police said the man had uri- nated on himself and appeared highly intoxicated. He refused several orders to stand up, yelling and cursing at police who assisted the man to his feet and removed him from the crowd. The charge was a misde- meanor. Sales tax until June 1 Sales tax is being waived on certain hurricane-related commodities from now through June 1, when hurri- cane season begins. The federal government this week predicted a "very active" hurricane season, with 13 to 16 named storms, 8 to 10 of which will become hurricanes, including 4 to 6 that will be classified as "major" hurricanes of Category 3 strength or high- er. Tax-exempt Items Include: Flashlights and portable, self-powered light sources - $20 or less * Portable radios, two-way radios and weather-band radios for $50 or less * Flexible waterproof sheet- ing (tarps) $50 or less * Gas or diesel fuel contain- ers $25 or less Batteries $30 or less * Non-electrical food storage coolers $30 or less 0 Portable generators - $1,000 or less * Carbon monoxide detec- tors $75 or less * Storm shutter devices - $200 or less * Cell phone batteries $60 or less by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF WRITER A standing room-only crowd packed the community room at the Neptune Beach Library Thursday for information needed to prepare for this year's upcoming hurricane sea- son. About 150 people attended the hurricane planning meet- ing sponsored by the commu- nity group Beaches Watch. The two-hour program fea- tured presentations by Jacksonville Beach Fire Chief Gary Frazier, Neptune Beach Police Chief David Sembach and Jacksonville Beach police Lt. Steve Corbitt. Marty Senterfitt of the Duval County Emergency Operations Center and Tiffany Reeves of the state Department of Financial Services also attend- ed. "We are not here to see what to do in case a hurricane hits," Sembach said. "We are here to see what we are going to do when a hurricane hits." Beaches Watch president Sandy Golding said she received many positive com- ments from citizens about the program and its service to the community. "With hurricane season only two weeks away, it was won- derful to see the community interest in such an important topic as hurricane prepared- ness," Golding said. "The information presented in this program was very Photo by UZA MITCHELL Stephen Kuti, right, helps distribute information on hurricane' preparation to those attending a community program Thursday. important to our Beaches corn- munities and I hope that it has helped raise awareness to the importance of hurricane pre- paredness before a hurricane is headed our way." Frazier, who came to Jacksonville Beach from Kansas, has experience dealing with natural disasters. As the former Battalion Chief of the Wichita Fire Department, he encountered several major tor- nadoes, one of which carved a path of destruction over half a mile wide through the city. Hurricanes, he said, create a larger area of devastation than a tornado but they also offer something that the spiraling storm systems do not plan- ning: "The biggest thing you are going to get out of this is plan- ning and preparation," he told those attending the meeting. "Fortunately we have been spared any significant damage over the last two years. There is a tremendous amount of infor- mation available that will give you a better idea of what to do." . Frazier detailed in a power- point presentation the wind speeds and storm surges associ- ated with the various degrees of hurricanes. He also displayed photo- graphs of the nation's recent devastating hurricanes, noting that storms resulting in the most significant damage were below a category five.

And Police Chief David Thompson said Monday that whoever replaces Campbell will "hopefully" be,the city's next police chief. Thompson, who has been police chief for over 22 years, is in the city's delayed retirement option program (drop) and can only stay a maximum of four more years, he said. And Thompson Monday gave no promises that he will even stay that long. "We're advertising [the posi- tion] as second in command [of ,a department] with a police chief that's in the drop pro- gram. So you can read between the lines," Thompson said. "We're looking to hopefully bring somebody in to become police chief." He said the city will begin advertising for a police captain, to replace Campbell by the end of the week. The deadline for applications will likely be the. end of June, he said. I Campbell said he has accept- ed a position with Coca Cola as, field security manager. City Manager Jim Hanson Tuesday said that Campbell "handled many aspects" of the city's police department. "I think he's done an excel- lent job for the city. He certain- ly is owed a lot of gratitude by the citizens of this city for a job well done. We wish him the best." Rentals: Flaunting of law is predicted S Photo submitted John Grogan, author of the nonfiction bestseller "Marley and Me." signs Fletcher High teacher Thomas Ming's copy of the book. Grogan appeared at the school as a part of the Jacksonville Public Library's recent Much Ado About Books program Paver: New vote held Cont. from A-1 part of the Five Points Improvement Project. The land was sold for about $1,000, according to City Public Works Director Rick Carper, who added that the section allowed.the city to construct a "smoother" turn. in. , "If I had that information and understood what he did on behalf of the city my vote would have been different," Wolfson said of McAfee's waiver request; . "I felt I made my vote without all the: information." Wolfson asked that the com- mission reconsider the waiver request and moved that McAfee be allowed to keep the .10-foot' paver which connects the drive- way and sidewalk, as was ,rec- ommended by the city staff two weeks ago. Hurricane: Evacuation Cont. from A-1 The strength of Hurricane Katrina had lessened to a cate- gory three storm when it made landfall and wiped out New Orleans and portions of the Gulf Coast in Mississippi. Frazier said storm surges recorded five miles inland in Katrina's wake measured 12 feet high. If a storm of that magnitude strikes the Beaches, he said that a wall of 'debris would' reach. Hodges Boulevard. To avoid the perils of hum- cane force winds and flood water, Frazier encourages evac-, uating as quickly as possible'tb" a safe area outside of the pro- jected storm surge. "Going soon is the best idea," he said. "Prepare ahead of time and go early." Evacuees from. the Beaches area must pay close attention to developing storms because traffic can cause major delays getting off the barner island; This year state officials are establishing a plan, to require gas stations to utilize genera- tors to keep the pumps work- ing in case of a power outage., If an evacuation is ordered, Sembach said emergency man- agement officials will go door- to-door urging people to leave their homes. "In storms we've seen in the' last couple of years, evacuation is key," Sembach said. "If you are planning to ride it out, I am pleading with you not to do that. I think you can see'what happened in other cities where people didn't evacuate." Once storm winds render the bridges impassable, Sembach said police and fire officials will leave the beach. "If you need help there is not' going to be anyone here to help you," he said. "We will come back as quick as we can. SWe don't walnt tp comb backIto a lot 'of bodies but we rcar't force you to evacuate.' I can only ask you, plead with you to leaver." , ' If residents refuse to leave,. Sembach said officers will ask for information to contact next of kin and ask the residents to write their social security num- ber on their arms in indelible ink to simplify the identifica- tion process. "I am not tryirig to ,scare you," he said. "That is what is going on in other cities where people didn't leave.". Sembach said Fletcher High' "I would think it is a show of good faith between [the city] and a citizen that has assisted us," Wolfson said. The motion passed 4-1, with Commissioner Jamie Fletcher voting against the measure. The commission in July of 2005 prohibited parking aprons on city rights of way along 10 through streets . City Manager Jim Hanson said the city staff considers it dangerous to have a parking area directly adjacent to the pavement on a busy street. Hanson warned commis- sioners on reversing their deci- sion on the waiver. "I'm not sure I would trade off a public safety issue with' property that someone: sold the city," he said. , key here School will be the destination point .for elderly and, special needs residents, including low income families without trans- portation or money for gas, to receive help getting off the beach. He noted that arrangements have been made, for 64 Jacksonville Sheriff's Officers who live at the Beach to work with Beach departments in the event an evacuation is ordered. Corbitt said reentry passes are key for emergency manage- ment officials to identify Beaches residents trying to return home after a hurricane. "T e inability to get back, to their',homes' makes people mad. The passes are simple," he said, noting that a driver's license will also work but will slow traffic. After a hurricane it'll be 100 degrees, muggy and nasty - don't be stuck in traffic," he said. Free literature on everything from evacuating with pets to passes for residents were pro- vided at the meeting. YI am vezy impressed with the turnout," Corbitt said. "Knowledge is power and you have it." VIt ays Cont. from A-1 The ordinance provides that "short term rentals shall be considered to be 'commercial uses' as are hotel, motel, motor lodge, resort rental, bed and breakfast or tourists court uses" all of which are illegal in residential areas. It adds that short term rentals are prohibited in private homes such as "single family homes, town homes, duplexes, condo- miniums and the like." Also the ordinance will make advertising for short term rentals illegal some- thing that was not addressed prior to the new code passed Monday. Realtor R. D. deCarle said at Monday's meeting, however, that those wishing to rent their property short term will simply enter into one-year leases that have no penalty for violations of that time period. "How are you going to enforce that," deCarle said. Wolfson agreed, saying that property owners could actual- ly, just have 90 day leases which can be broken with no penalty. City Manager Jim Hanson said, however, that he doubts that will occur much. He said it is likely that most people looking for short term rentals, once they learn it is illegal in Atlantic Beach, will look elsewhere. "I can't imagine there will be a whole lot of that going on. They'll look for another city," Hanson said. "Let Ithem go down to Daytona .Beach where that' [short term rental] is allowed."

VraMam It really is an infringe- ment of property rights that people have had for a long time. Jeanell Wilson Realtor commissioners Monday that she thinks prohibiting short term rentals is an infringe- ment on private property rights. And Wilson told com- missioners that she could find nothing in the city's former- code that addressed short term rental .being illegal. "A few people have been doing this for many years and currently I don't see this as a problem," Wilson said. "It really is an infringement of property rights that people have had for a long time." She said that "only a few oceanfront homes" are being used for short term rentals by "families" who no' longer live in them but wish to maintain ownership. She said that the "families" use the income from renting the homes to help pay the high cost of property taxes and home owner's insurance. Wilson said that she has recently received many calls from residents who are con- cerned over the short term rental laws.

Wilson also said that pro- hibiting short terms rentals will only keep Realtors, who normally follow the law, from renting the homes. She said that private residents will con- tinue to rent their homes is secrecy but will .not take the precautions which Realtors take in renting the properties to responsible tenants. She also said that private owners who rent out their home short term do not collect taxes as Realtors do. Hanson reiterated that short term rentals have always been illegal in the city. "This has been the city's rule that we've enforced for many years," Hanson said. "[But] it is hard to decipher our city code [on the issue]. That's one of the reasons we wanted to change that [the code]." )cO OUR MISSION IS TO PUBLISH A DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER FOR THE BEACHES May 24, 2006 rage tA .. www.beacbesleader.com Locally Owned and Operated m Serving the Beaches since 1963 THE BEACHES LEADER/PONTE VEDRA LEADER The Leader's Opinion Community Center will fulfill promise The former Flag Pavilion hosted youth basket- ball games and antique shows, as the director of the Jacksonville beach Community 'Redevelopment Agency recalled last week. The building sat one block off the beach, empty much of the time as a mix of bad acoustics and an unfortunate match between design and p[iurpose created far from optimal demand for the building. Nevertheless, it was home to many' con- certs,' trade shows, community programs and Other events. :' N the nearest venues are the community rooms at the Beach libraries -both of which can handle a much smaller crowd. Hours of operation also limit what is offered. A hurricane preparedness program at the Beaches Public Library was filled to capacity last week and the crowd had to be hurried out as the library closes at 8 p.m. Since the Flag Pavilion was razed, the Beaches have lacked a central spot for community gather- ings of any import or size. City fathers promised a replacement when the pavilion was destroyed. It has taken longer than expected but plans are proceeding to build a community center at a' south Jacksonville Beach park. Last week the city agreed to spend the money' needed "to determine the scope of the community center project." The expenditure should allow the city to make 'good on its promise to residents. A well-designed community center also promises to provide a much needed gathering spot for community pro-' gram's. A place where residents can come together and use the facilities for mutually beneficial civic pur- poses is an investment in the community. Letters to the editor: Codes must work to keep Beach. city a special place To the editor: As a concerned citizen and supporter of Save Atlantic Beach, I have been discour- aged by :.some-recent letters to theledito.ith Tlie'LeaderJ One, letter suggests that' property' owners are more concerned with property values than communitvy"alues. This just' jn't so although surely no property owner would want to see the value of their property go down!). The current commission is .considering adopting new building guidelines by a non- resident consultant who refers to ABli.s a "resort com-: munity. This consultant clearly does not understand, our unique, beach communi- ty. Most Atlantic Beach resi-, dents simply do not want city government making: drastic and unnecessary changes to our existing build- ing guidelines. There are compromises that. can be made to existing codes to. help : eliminate the McMansion Affect (i.e., elim- inating the 35" one plate wall, etc.). We don't need to reinvent the building code wheel! Another letter to the editor, suggests only developers would be' against the new proposals to current guide- lines. Not *'so! My husband, and I purchased a home in the "core city" ,which is con- fusing and in itself deserves serious disosiomn :butt,that's another letter!!'10 yddrs'ago ' with plans to renovate and enjoy. ' Turns out the old house needs so much repair that a full bulldoze and rebuild is needed. And, although we had no intentions of building a McM, with the new pro- posed guidelines we would not be able to build a main floor master bedroom due to square footage restrictions., We also would have to build up to the 35' height, which we hadn't intended to do, in order to gain a reason- able amount of.'. square, footage and would probably have to architect a -mansard roof! not our architecture of choice). I do not believe we are alone on issues like these and we are certainly not developers! Please, let's agree to work with our current building codes to keep Atlantic Beach what' it has been for a long time a great and special place to live.

How they' can keep reinvent- ing something as simple as one inch of bristles on a 4. inch stick is beyond me, but ,the industry comes up with another version almost monthly. A recent commer-. cial showed vitally angled strategically shaped bristles with new cleaning power, implying that any other choice would result in horri- ble and justly deserved decay. If a newcomer to this planet watched a string of ads for toothbrush choices alone, he would get' back in his space- ship and exit at time warp speed, thinking if life is that difficult there, then he wants no part of it. , The number of choices available for any product, any service, or just plain recre- ation are staggering to the imagination. In the age of cyber and cable communica- tion, we are exposed to them all.-whether frankly or sublim- iially.. . There is a profound differ- ence between living life abun- dantly and living life with,: abundant things. The first implies living a life with joy and contentment. The second does not ensure the first. The: more that is available, the more elusive satisfaction can, become. Dr. James Dobson, my favorite. child psychologist, says that he remembers play- ing all summer with a wooden horse and' stick cowboys. That's all he and his friends. needed to fill hours of fun and imagination. I'm willing to bet that he didn't have toy ANN VON THRON COLUMNIST catalogs coming in his mail- box every, day skewing his vision of fun. After realizing that letting my children look through these catalogs set up a dialogue of unending beg- ging and dissatisfaction, I put the trash can beside my mail- box and nipped that in the bud. Internet shopping is just as bad. When looking for a cover for my daughter's bed, I shopped in several stores with me'ager- findings. In fact).'by the" end of the day, I - would have bought anything that was close to feminine in. color or style and have been, happy. I tried shopping via internet and suddenly was overwhelmed with hundreds of choices of color, pattern, and texture. After an hour, I turned my computer off with empty handed disgust. There must be some satellite system that alerts the shoe stores of this country when I come anywhere near. It says something like "OK guys, here she comes. Hide all those 8 narrows except for that pair we've been trying to unload for weeks." I'm not kidding about this. -No matter what, size I'm looking for, there are slim to none available, and, becoming desperate, I choose function over style. Actually, I can choose between two dif- ferent shoes and be happy. Choosing among 20 is impos- sible and leaves me filled with the regret of knowing that there was the possibility of making a better choice. Could this have something to do with our quest for "bet- ter" quality of life and the debt we get ourselves into? No matter who you are, someone, somewhere, has more stuff than you. Suddenly, we think we can not be happy unless we have ... whatever it is that guy just bought., I'm reminded of one of my favorite children's sto- ries/movies: Veggie .Tales "Madame Blueberry." Mme B. wants to be happy, so she buys stuff. When this doesn't make her happy enough, she buys more. The ending to this story is.-poignant- to children and adults-and puts..perspec- tive on filling our emotional" tanks with "stuff." In this clev- erly crafted tale, Mine. Blueberry finds freedom from constant "need for more" in gratefulness. An abundant life and abun- dant things can be at opposite ends of the spectrum. Type this in large print and tape it' to my mirror because the two can quickly become confused with each other, and joy and contentment slip. away. . Dr. von Thron is a pediatri- cian who lives in Neptune Beach with her husband and children. Define entertain n ment district To the editor: I am confused by your fre- quent .use of the term "Entertainment District" or, alternatively, "Downtown Entertainment District". I have searched the Jacksonville Beach City Charter, our Comprehensive Plan, the Downtown Redevelopment Plan, and the Land Development Code and I can find ,no mention of an Entertainment District. Did you make this up or is it based 'on something? My wife thinks it is a new euphemism for the blighted area. My son, on the other hand, thinks it refers to the drunken antics common Downtown which he finds entertaining. He cites the, example of the woman that recently stumbled into our garage to urinate who was so. drunk that when she dropped her drawers and squatted she' missed the concrete floor and peed into her lowered pants! After reading of the sting operation where nine "Johns"' were arrested for soliciting prostitution in the Downtown Redevelopment Area last week, Irwas wondering if this' Was the type of Entertainment District you intend. Please solve this mystery. Who is right? David L. Smith Jacksonville Beach All property should be protected To the editor: As a resident of Atlantic Beach, I have been following' the recent developments regarding the Winter Report very closely. I am frustrated with the assertions that all supporters of Save Atlantic Beach are only focused on property val-' ues, maximum building, and using their homes as a "401k". I have been a resident of Atlantic Beach for over 10 years. I currently live in an older home on a nice sized lot. I have no desire to build a "McMansion" on my proper- ty. I am not excited about the possibility of my neighbors building such structures. However, I feel very strongly that it is not the city's right to dictate to me what I can build on the property that I have worked so hard for. This is my home. I also feel that it is not the city's right, or mine to dictate to my neighbors what they can build on their lots. After attending several Of the Save Atlantic Beach meetings, city commission meetings, the recent town hall meeting and reading the ordinance, I can say that I am against this ordi- nance and think our city lead- ers need to begin again. This is also the position that Save Atlantic Beach stated in the town hall meeting. Everyone wants our community to remain unique, but accusing those who refuse to accept this ridiculously stringent ordinance of only wanting to use their homes as a bank account is unjust. I am also alarmed at the tac- tics that the city commission- ers and the mayor have taken trying to minimize support for Save Atlantic Beach by declaring that the only people who should be concerned, heard, and considered are those who .live in old Atlantic Beach. I attended the town meeting when the "change" in the ordinance so that it only includes old Atlantic Beach was announced. I only hope that I am in attendance when the "change" putting my property back in the included boundaries occurs. My interest is in the city as an entirety, not just my home or my street. Our community focus should be to work together, not to divide and conquer. This is an emotional issue on both sides with the poten- tial to cause much discord among neighbors. It is my sincere hope that our commu- nity can work through our differences on this issue and come to a reasonable compro- mise. Margaret Sherrill Atlantic Beach HAKu:sukCK COLUMNIST Hurry up fall I really miss seeing football Seeing a onetime pigskin- ner, I could almost feel sweat trickling down my face as I looked at pictures of Fletcher football players in spring practice. The photos were in our May 3rd issue, and they reminded me of how much I miss football sea- son. I'm not alone on that. Of all the sports contests watched on TV at the American Legion, footbrawl definitely stimulates the most passionate reactions. At times, the members, includ- ing me, sound like a pack of hounds on a fox hunt.' The excitement is particu- larly intense if the Jaguars or a Florida college team such as the UF Gators or the FSU Seminoles are playing. Bueno. An editorial by Sports Fans of America has stated that a deep attachment to the home team is good for mental health- even if the team loses. They quote one psychologist who asserts, "It's healthy to have outlets where you'can invest your emotions." The positive effect that foot- ball has on morale is demon- strated in a September 2004 blog from a man working in Baghdad with the Army Corps of Engineers. Since the Americans stationed there had been, as he put it, "under the constant threat of mortars, rockets, car bombs, and gun- fire" they"/don't smile much." The lifting of spirits from the beginning of college football season was amazing. "Suddenly," he wrote, "in just one night, almost every sol- dier was talking, bragging, dis- cussing, debating, and revel- ing in the exploits of their favorite college team." And they could only .experience the games via radio broadcast! Some football filberts express their fandom more imaginatively than others. Among them are the people who paint their faces and other bare-able parts of their anatomy with their team col-, ors and wear outlandish out- fits to the games. In fact, a part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a special wing named the Hall of Fans, established in 1999 to honor the fans picked in an essay contest to repre- sent theit team. (That's neat, but I'd draw the line at wear- ing a big wedge of cheese on my head while doing a fan dance.) Q.E.D.: The pigskin parade is the most gripping, and that's .that. As one gridiron guru has opined, "If future historians look at our TV list- ings for Thanksgiving Day, they could easily come to the conclusion that what we're really thankful for is football." But now, we've got football withdrawal. By the time the Official flips the first coin, we may have flipped our wigs. Send letters to: The Editor, The Leader, P.O.

Spencer, 27, who won a three-day trip to Scotland this week with her identical twin sister, expects to meet some of Scotland's most eligible bach- elors. She was one of more than 20,000 women who voted for a favorite Hot Scot on www.dateahotscot.com,, a promotional campaign website for S VisitScotland, the official arm of the Scottish Tourist Board. During the campaign, which ran from Valentine's Day through March 31, Visitors were introduced to sexy Scottsmen via photographs, personal profiles and video interviews and allowed to choose their favorite kilt- clad hunk- thus entering themselves in a sweepstakes to win a trip, along with a lucky lady friend, to visit the Hot Scots on their native soil. The contest was open only to women. One winner was drawn at random from each of the six eligible countries: LiSA, France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Spain. Lauren Spencer, who received the link in an e-mail from her sister, Kristen, thought the website was cheek), and funny and happily cast her vote. The e-mail link was also sent to a coworker of Lauren's. The coworker won the trip and quickly asked Lauren to accompany her before realizing the dates of the trip conflict- ed with the coworker's honeymoon. Contest organizers agreed to Lauren coming in her stead and she said it was petty easy to decide to ask her sister along, since she had originally alerted all to the contest. Doing things together is nothing new, as the Spencer sisters, who attended Fletcher High School and Florida State Pr,e SU eI-rTED Lauren Spencer, left, and her identical twin sister Kristen will meet with Scotland's most eligible bachelors this week as part of a prize package won on-line. University together, are also room- mates. "We're roommates so I really could- n't go without her noticing," said Lauren, who works for an advertising and public relations firm. Kristen works at Neptune Beach Baptist Church. The Spencers, representing the United States, will join with represen- tatives from the other countries for a variety of activities, including recep- tions, including one with the men wearing kilts, Lauren said, acknowl- edging the age-old undergarments question and noting "I'll report back." The four-day/ three-night trip will take the twins to Edinburgh, where they can explore historical land- marks, museums, and the under- ground streets of Mary King's Close - said to be the most haunted place in Edinburgh -- and Glasgow, the largest shopping centre in the UK outside of London. Also included, a welcome and farewell party during which the ladies will get to meet all of their favorite Hot Scots. "I'm hoping I can get through this trip without causing an international incident," said Lauren. "Scottish accents are an auditory version of beer goggles, and these guys are already dangerously good looking with their mouths shut. It would cer- tainly put a damper on. the trip to be drummed up on kidnapping charges for trying to sneak one home." Although voting has ended and the winners have been chosen from www.DateaHotScot.com, which was part of www.ToScotland.com. Lauren cast her vote for Stuart Duncan, a marketing and operations controller for XFM Scotland Radio Station with a slight Star Wars fixa- tion. He came in 7th place with 1,458 votes, ahead of the reserved skipper for the 2006 Olympic Curling team and behind a water buffalo farmer. Craig Irving, a 27-year-old business development manager, took top hon- ors with 3,325 votes. OBITUARIES Fletcher class plans its 50 year reunion Martin John Flinchbaugh, 91, died on May 21, 2006.

Every year she looks for- ward to having relatives and friends visit on Memorial Day weekend and on the Fourth of July holiday. It's not unusual for Brazeau and her husband, Roy, to have 25 to 30 family mem- bers staying at their West Beaches home. Some family members come from as far away as Chicago. The Brazeau's yard overlooks a canal leading to the Intracoastal, so its not unusual, Brazeau said, to have a couple tents set up in. the yard and sleeping bags covering their family room. The couple also have a pool, plenty of shaded decks and a boat dock. Cooking for a houseful of guests ,is a challenge for Brazeau, worked for a caterer. in college, where she learned to cook in quantity. She said organization is the key to preparing multiple meals for overnight guests. She routinely organizes menus; table diagrams, and other helpful 'information in an album she has labeled "Bon Apetit." The album allows her to keep a record of what worked well and what she wants to adapt for future holidays and parties. Breakfast for the children, mostly cereal, is the first order of the day on holiday weekends. Adult guests are served a full breakfast of eggs, bacon or sausage. . Lunch is informal, usually heavy hors d"oeuvres or sandwiches . She always begins the din- ner meal with an Artichoke Cheese Dip along with raw veggies, cheese and crackers.' A selection of cold salads are also prepared, including .an extra large bowl of Taco Salad, Asian Cole Slaw, and something Brazeau calls "That Good Salad." The later salard is a combi- nation of vegetables in a sweet vinegar dressing. Along with the salads, Brazeau serves deviled eggs and other sides. She enlists the help of one of the men to, grill hot dogs, hamburgers, or chicken legs for the children. Having previously lived in Annapolis, Md., Brazeau likes to include a couple seafood dishes for dinner. She uses 6 pounds of fish, shrimp, and crabmeat to ~'*,p 'oo, poosubmitted Dorothy Johnson holds her namesake award, the Johnson Medallion, with University of North Florida dean Dr. Larry Daniel. Johnson can't say no to alma mater by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE ASSOCIATE EDITOR D orothy Johnson is a pushover when it comes to volunteering. "I'm one of those people who cantt say no," Johnson, an 85-year-old Neptune Beach resident, said. "I'm trying to slow down, but they won't let me." They, meaning the University of North Florida's Alumni Association. They might .also include the Beaches, Area Historical Society and the Friends of the Beaches Library. Johnson is a past board member of the latter two organizations, tallying a dozen years on each. She's also a 30-year board member of UNF's Alumni Association who has attended nearly every important event at the school, including. 21, groundbreaking. "I love my university," said Johnson, who earned her first college degree from UNF at age 54 and her second at age 62. Army officer's wife Johnson was a freshman at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga., when she met Georgia Tech student Daniel Johnson. She married young and never finished college, raising seven children as the wife of an Army artillery officer. When her husband, a retired colonel, suffered a stroke in the early 1970s, Johnson's role as a homemaker expanded to include breadwinner. "When you have children depending on you and you know your husband is dying, it's very frightening," Johnson ''said.. "I knew I had to do something." So the mother of seven went back to school using her husband's G.I. benefits, graduating in 1974 from UNF with a bachelor's degree in English literature.. A month after she received her diplo-. ma, her husband of 34 years died at age 58. "He wasn't able to attend my gradua- tion," recalled Johnson, who still lives in- the same house 'she and her husband purchased in Neptune Beach in 1970. After her husband's funeral at Arlington National/ Cemetery, Johnson Sound work teaching English as a second language at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. Her pay increased by $1 an hour when she received her master's degree in allied heath from UNF. Osprey Club booster Johnson taught junior college classes for almost seven years until her children were grown. , She began volunteering with UNF's Alumni Association in. 1976 and has been an active booster of the school's athletic program for the past 22 years,. "I love the students, the envoys partic- ularly," said lohnson, who lived in Japan and England while her husband was sta- tioned overseas. "I'm a big booster of-UNF athletics because you can't get into UNF as an ath- lete unless you have a high grade-point average. The graduation percentage among athletes is higher than the stu- dent body average." Two of Johnson's daughters graduated from UNF with master's degrees. Her son, Daniel, who earned a law degree from Emory University in Atlanta, has : been the U.S. Ambassador to Suriname for the past six years,.. "Between them, my children have ,about 15 degrees," said Johnson, who has nine grandchildren and four great- grandchildren. "When I make up my Christmas list, T have 29 peot le, not counting in-laws." Johnson doesn't forget UNF at gift-giv- ing time, either. Over the past 30 years, she has made more than 100 donations to the univer- sity. And the school hasn't forgotten her gifts nor her time and dedication. In, February, the UNF Alumni Association established the inaugural Dorothy G. Johnson Medallion for out- standing service. The award isn't Johnson's only lasting- achievement at UNE. Three years ago, she helped establish an endowed scholarship in the College of Education and Human. Services. , The Dorothy G. Johnson Family and Friends endowment recently awarded its first scholarship to a U.S. Marine major- ing in education at UNF. . Johnson said the endowment is up to $19,000 and. as soon as it reaches $25,000, the state will match it. When she's riot attending quarterly meetings of the Alumni Association, Johnson finds ways to help out other organizations such as attending meetings of the Friends of the Library or volun- teering with the Beaches Area Historical Society. - A back page ad in a UNF magazine recently caught her attention. The ad said that if 1,000 people visit a UNF graduate's Web site, the graduate, Kurtis Loftis of Jacksonville Beach, will donate $1,000, to the new Beaches Museum & History 'Center. Said Johnson, a charter member of the Historical Society: "I better do that, shouldn't I?" I'- make a large pot of Seafood Gumbo. The gumbo can be made with the traditional seafoods, and with whatever is fresh and available. She also makes her own recipe for "She Crab Soup," a Maryland delicacy, serving it in a crock pot so everyone can help themselves. Brazeau first tasted "She Crab Suup" at a restaurant on Kent Island just over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Annapolis. After experimenting several times, Brazeau says she is pleased with her own version of the creamy, rich soup. For dessert, Brazeau serves Death by Chocolate Cake along with ice cream. "Everyone is usually sofull from dinner that all we need is a really a little taste of something sweet," she said. The following are recipes that .Marguerite .Brazeau serves her family .for a summer holiday weekend. Artichoke Cheese Dip 1 cup mayonnaise 2 cans artichokes 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 2 tsp. garlic powder 1 cup Parmesan cheese Paprika Drain artichokes reserving 3 to 4 T juice.

'The Senators (8-3 in 2005) defeated Raines 7-6 during consecutive quarters of exhibition play at First Coast High. Senior-to-be quarterback Martv McCann connected with classmate Ray Scott on a . 7-vard slant pass with 41 seconds to play SENATOR to cap a 50- SNATOR yard drive. VIKINGS Zack Nail con- verted the PAT kick. Raines returned the ensuing kickoff by Taylor Wyman 89 yards for a score, but failed to convert on a 2-point pass attempt as time expired. The Vikings also had a 38- S yard TD pass called back on a holding penalty. The two teams played to a scoreless tie in the first quarter after the Senators fumbled at the Raines 7 following an 80-yard drive. Fletcher's Johnny O'Hara had a fust-quarter interception and defensive linemen Jacque Carter and Brandon Crow- der recorded sacks of the Raines quarter- back. Junior Troy SGuidry started at tailback in Fletcher's new one back scheme, an alignment that employs two full-time tight 6 ends and two wide receivers. The new-look offense is a departure from Fletcher's full- back-led I-formation of years past. It's also indicative of a major rebuilding year at the Neptune Beach school. "We lost our whole offensive Pnoioi by ROB DoAIJGELO ABOVE: Fletcher's Jonathan Johnson (15) gets ahold of the Raines quarterback during spring football action last Thursday night at First Coast High School. BELOW: Senators receiver Ray Scott scores Fletcher's only touchdown on a seven yard reception from QB Marty McCann. line from last year, so we need- ed to get our new line more help," said Ricky Medlock, Fletcher's offensive coordina- tor since 1997. "We now have seven guys on. the line. And Troy does not need a lead back. He's good at picking holes and has great feet to dart up in there." Fletcher also has a bevy of wideouts to throw to, a sea- soned quarterback in McCann (866 passing yards) and a change-of-pace tailback in the form of speedy Deschion Baskerville, who rushed for 309 yards and three TDs in spot duty last season. Guidry, who also calls the defensive signals for Fletcher at inside linebacker, rushed for 572 yards as a junior with six TDs and an 8.8 yard average. Scott (11 receptions for 178 yards) is Fletcher's top return- ing pass catcher. The receiving corps also features rising fresh- man Lamar Scruggs, junior Dustin Dixon and O'Hara, a shutdown corner on defense with four picks last year. "It's the best receiving group we've had in a long time," added Medlock. "Our base [offense] is what you saw tonight. One back, double tights and two wide- outs. We decided those were our strengths. "We have Baskerville who can spell Troy and we also have Tony Carswell (5-10, 226). We have two big backs that we can hammer you with and one lit- tle guy who can bum you." Fletcher revamped its defen- sive scheme this spring in order to place an emphasis on speed as opposed to bulk and power. "We have changed our base [defense], at least for the spring," said Fletcher head coach Joe Reynolds. It's the best receiving group we've had in a long time. Our base offense is ... one back, double tight [ends] and two wideouts. We decid- ed ...those. _were our strengths. Ricky Medlock Fletcher offensive coordinator "We were not fast enough in the Ed White game last year, so we changed things. We figure we can play speed guys and teach them how to tackle. "We have our best two cor- ners in years. And the safety played very, very well." Fletcher's tackling skills were a little rusty against Raines, but Sean Johnston and Jason Kelly, subbing for the injured McDougald, wrapped up well. Fletcher's pass rush was also a bright spot on defense with Carswell leading the charge from the inside and Carter from the edge. "I have to see the film, but the pass rush was good," said Senators defensive coordinator Kevin Brown. "We put pressure on the quarterback, but we still have to find our linebackers. We had six different guys out there and we have to settle on three and let them get their reps." Reynolds, a longtime propo- nent of the ground game, said he likes the look of Fletcher's new offense, which will fea- ture a more balanced run-pass mix next season. "I liked that we opened it up," said Reynolds, who enters his 17th season as Fletcher's head coach. "1I think that's us. That's our personality. Marty is a talented quarterback and we have some talented receivers. We have to keep it opened up." Fletcher opens the 2006 sea- son with a kickoff classic at First Coast. The Senators trav- el to Jackson to open the regu- lar season and host Sandalwood in Week 2 for their home opener. Highsmith event brings together beach legends By CHUCK ADAMS SPORTS IM'RUTER By nearly any measure, the ninth annual' Highsmith Memorial Tournament, played in Jacksonville Beach over the weekend, was a tremendous suc- cess. The event brought together those who played with and against Mike Highsmith, the beach volleyball legend who died in a dirt bike accident in Colorado in 1997, as well as oth- ers who considered him a friend and many who knew him only by reputation. A total of 39 teams, including some in the Legends divisions, played Saturday on the 10 per- manent courts adjacent to the Jacksonville Beach pier. "It's going good," tournament director Jay Miller said of this year's Jacksonville Beach Volleyball, now two-events old. "Things are improving as we go, and we have a lot of big changes coming on. The July tourna- ment is going to, be filmed for Comcast. "[It's] a lot of work, but I think it's going to be worth it," said Miller, who has run tourna- ments for 20 years and has brought Engle Homes, KISS FM and DX Marketing aboard. Next year will mark the 10th annual Highsmith Memorial and family members of the late volleyball icon plan to host a party for those who knew Mike. "It's just unbelievable these guys still want to get together just to honor their buddy," said Highsmnith's mother, Francine Scharf. Susie Mashour, who, with sis- ter Terri finished runner-up in Women's AA, started playing beach volleyball just last sum- mer. She never knew Highsmith, but certainly knows about him. "He's a legend, was a great vol- leyball player and everybody appreciates him," said Mashour. "That's why this is dedicated to him." Chad Poppel, winner of Men's Open with Scott Perry, was com- ing up when Highsmith was still playing. "I was kind of scrubby back then, just learning the game. And he was one of the better players out here," Poppel said. "But he would play with you and try to help you out. Some of Highsmith's contem- poraries relish the event as a chance to take to the sands once again. "It's good to come out here," said Terry Knight, runner-up in Legends with Paul Bathen, "because a lot of the guys who don't play anymore, they're back and playing. And a lot of these guys are still good. Some of them were A\TP level at that point. Rocky [Morsch] and Damon [Gordon], they're good players. "It's fun. They trash talk. People come from out of town. So it's different than other tour- naments," added Knight. Jim "Kooky" Carson, now liv- ing in Chicago, where he's per- forming at Second City and Improv, also was one of the Legends. He recalled playing his first game of doubles with High- Pholo bC ROB DeAIJGELO Terri Mashour lunges for the ball during Women's AA division play Saturday. Mashour and her sister, Susie, finished as runners-up in division to the team of Justine Burkhardt and Jessica Furlong. smith. "If he taught me one value, it was set the ball to our team, not the other team. And we started winning games from that point," said Carson, who had been playing volleyball for about two months at that time. "If there was one person who would teach you the game, it was Mike." Highsmith and Matt Tracy, who coaches girls soccer at Bolles, knew one another for seven years. "He and Wayne [MacDonald] were the first people I played against from Jacksonville, when I lived in Daytona," said Tracy. "They treated me so well, told me what to do when I got up here, who to meet, where to go.

VOLLEYBALL: Event a success Continued from page BI So we became friends real quickly." Jill Cox of Jacksonville Beach. knew Highsmith as a friend. Normally a women's open player, Cox played in the Legends divi- sion since her partner, Robin Mignerey, wasn't at the tourna- ment. "It's not a coincidence that this tournament is such a beautiful weather-wise day," she said. "Somebody's looking down on us and smiling and laughing and contacting help, if we need it. It's definitely him here with us." Cox worked with Highsmith when he was tending bar. "Mike was beautiful in so many ways, inside ahd out. He always was smiling. He could make any- body he was around feel comfort- able. Strangers would belly up [to the bar, and] by 10 minutes they were best friends."

The shocking injury to undefeated thorough- bred Barbaro at the start of the Preakness rates with the.saddest sports incidents in a long time. 'The Kentucky Derby winner looked as close to a potential Triple Crown winner as any seen in a while. The big bay colt .was so anxious to, get out and run he actually, broke the gate on the eve of the start and had to be reined in by jockey Edgar Prado. It looked like nothing could stop Barbaro and nothing did, until after a few, yards, his right rear leg suddenly went lame. Even then the game crippled horse kept trying to run on three legs. The record Pimlico crowd of 118,402 sat and stood, numb with disbelief. Barbaro's mount' was quick to jump off and bring" his, horse finally to a stop after guiding him to a slowing halt. Almost lost in the horror of it, was the rest of the race; which saw Bernardini out run his near- est rival, Sweetnorthemsaint by five and a half. lengths, Hemingway's Key finishing third. Under ordinary circum- stances, the race finished more exciting than the closeness of the first and second horse 7 REX EDMONDSON PRESS BOX would show. It was one of the most bizarre finishes, in Pimlico's 130 years of great thoroughbred competition. An odds-on favorite, Barbaro was thought to be' the best chance of winning the Triple Crown, which has eluded rac- ing since Lou Wolfson's Affirm- ed turned the trick in 1978. Barbaro, who went off at almost even odds, had won the Kentucky Derby by six lengths, which had a lot to do with the smaller field at Pimlico. This was a race that had plen- ty of side ,interests. If Barbaro won in Maryland he would be No. 1 favorite. for the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. No less than New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner had an entry in this one and while skeptics fig-. ured that was just a showoff, it turned out to be a real "show" since King George's Heming- way's Key finished third. Who knows what effect, Barbaro's loss had on the other entries? The injury ended Barbaro's career and maybe his life, which is the saddest thing of all.' Losing a thoroughbred for racing is bad enough, losing him for stud is even worse, for that means the money will not be coming in. The sight of Barbaro hobbling on one leg on the track was heart-breaking. We've seen football players hauled off the' field with apparent serious injuries, baseball players as well, and basketball players, who have hit the floor head first that chills the blood, But a horse, limited in knowl- edge of what has happened to him, is even worse. The hope is that doctors can save Barbaro; he seemed to sur- vive his surgery but only time will tell. It took a lot away from win-' ner Bernardini, a stained victor in only his fourth race. Covering the races sometimes makes you feel good. A horse never says he won't talk to the media or calls you a racist. That's why they're superior to. the two legged variety of big money athletes. I SPOTS BREFS May .24, 2006 Page 3B The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader Meanwhile, back at the zoo, three players, including the Jaguars' recently drafted runner Maurice Drew, are charged with assault in the beating of a man at a restaurant allegedly because he was using a laptop computer. They must have thought he was a,sportswriter. Strike one on Maurice Drew, a lad we were beginning to like. He says he didn't do anything. If that's so, then strike two. He's supposed to be fast, but he did- n't get away. Before the college-pro draft. Coach Jack Del Rio and Coach James Harris told the media they were going to look for character. Obviously they found one in Maurice Drew. This was the week for shocks. Jacksonville's old favorite JU Dolphin star, Artis Gilmore, was arrested and charged with DUI after wrecking 'his car off the road. Luckily he wasn't killed. Shame, Artis (an old friend).
