The 1EACH Vol. 44, No. 40 MIDWEEK EDITION NOVEMBER 8,2006 ri~^~1 D ITEA 'rR^T Serving the communities of Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Mayport and Ponte Vedra Beach since 1963 Fletcher coach, teacher is Iraq veteran See A-8 Veterans Day observances See A-6 FOP angry ELECTION RESULTS about NB ia ending a land lease for its building by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES STAFF WRITER Termination of a lease agree- ment between the city of Neptune Beach, the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 107 iFOP) and the Neptune Beach Senior Activity Center is not amicable and the FOP plans to take legal action, according to J.1. Faro, president of the FOP. Since 1990, the city has leased the city-owned land at Forest Avenue to. the FOP for $1-per year. The FOP built the current structure on the site, using donated goods and labor, Faro said. The FOP agreed five years to lease the building to the senior center for $400 per month, but retained ownership. Prior to striking a deal with the senior center, the FOP rent- ed out the building to private parties interested in holding weddings or other functions at the site. The arrangement with the senior center eliminated maintenance concerns for the FOP and helped the senior cen- ter secure an address, making it eligible for grant funds, Faro said. "We have not agreed to be thrown out of our own build- ing," Faro said this week and explained that legal action is planned. He acknowledged that the FOP land lease with the city, done on a year to year basis, expires Nov. 30. He said FOP members are angered about the change, though the city has said that the See FOP, A-3 NB will keep hearing open to the public by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES STAFF WRITERE R As mediation begins over the issue of WVal-Mart denied per- mission to build a store in Neptune Beach, council mem- bers discussed Monday the option of holding a shade meeting. Council member Eric Pardee pointed out that both sides of -the case have now been out- lined and that it was the coun- cil's last opportunity to discuss the option of holding the mediation between Wal-Mlart and the city privately instead of having it open to the public. The mediation is scheduled for a. special magistrate's hearing Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, However, Chris White, the city attorney argued that the state's Sunshine law, which requires government conduct its business openly, does not permit the' council to hold a shade meeting. He. explained that because there is only the threat of,a lawsuit, rather than an actual suit filed, the council ... .. :. .'. , .' ., . . . . _ . cannot meet privately. The law permits elected boards to meet privately with an attorney to discuss legal strategies only if a suit is actually filed. "You put yourself at risk if you do," White told council members regarding their desire for a shade meeting, saying that the public could challenge them if they proceed with it. The public is not permitted to speak at the Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 hearings, but may observe. According to White, the lit- eral purpose of a shade meet- ing is to discuss the trial tactics and strategies relating to the expenditure of funds. Although council members expressed concern over the public hearing, White told them that, legally, there was nothing to be done. "We're stuck with having to have open discussions," he said. The hearing was requested by Wal-mart attorneys and the costs will be shared by the city and Wal-Ma-3,.The magistrate's decision is not binding. P,. hoto by LIZA MITCHELL Tom Taylor campaigns outside Jacksonville Beach City Hall Tuesday morning. He was challenging Bennie Furlong for Seat Six on the city council. Results from one of the three precincts for that dis- trict, along with absentee and early votes, had Taylor leading Furlong, 53 percent to 46 percent. At Precinct 13B at the Knights of Columbus a scanner failed, delaying the posting of those results at the precinct. Another district precinct, 13P, also did not have results posted on site. Unofficial Seat Four results showed Steve Hartkemeyer with 48 percent of the votes and Scott Chesnut with 37 percent likely headed for a Dec. 5 runoff. Skip Smith, third in that race, earned 15 percent of the vote. New councilors will be installed on Dec. 6 after the runoff. Early returns showed nearly 70 percent of Atlantic Beach voters favor amending the city charter to limit building height to 35 feet. State school athletic association fines Nease $20,000, places school teams on 5-year probation for violations by ROBERT DeANGELO SPORTS EDITOR Nease High's football program has been. fined $20,000 and placed on six \years' -. restrictive- probation for what the Florida High School Athletic Association - termed "major violations" regarding special induce- ments and considerations for one player, the organization announced Tuesday. Additionally, the school's entire athletic program has been placed on administrative probation for five years. Nease was already serving administrative probation for viola- tions committed by the baseball program. The Panthers, who completed a perfect 10-0 season with last Friday's win over Bartram Trail, are still eligible for postseason play this year but cannot participate in spring or fall jamborees until 2012, nor can the team play games outside Florida, teams from states other than Florida or appear on televised broadcasts during the regular sea- son, according to the FHSAA. "I recognize and accept the authority of the FHSAA and we will not appeal their decision," Nease Principal Dr. Linda Thomson said Tuesday. According to the FHSAA ruling, an inves- tigation determined three specific violations of policy prohibiting inducements for stu- dent-athletes, as follows: * One player's father was offered, and accepted, a job with a company owned by a Nease assistant coach. * The player and his father accepted resi- dence with a different Panthers assistant coach, and *The player was transported to and from Nease by the assistant with whom he and his father were living. "We take these violations very seriously,' FHSAA Commissioner John A. Stewart said in a statement released Tuesday. "The school's head football coach admit- ted to our investigator that he was aware of the arrangements between these two assis- tant coaches and the student-athlete's father. See NEASE, A-3 pholo by KATHY HARTMAN Several "no-trespassing:' signs such as this were placed last week on vacant property behind the Target store in south Jacksonville Beach, where homeless people have been known to stay. Ron Ward, leasing agent for Peter Sleiman Development, owner of the property, said that warnings were issued Thursday to some persons who were found on the prop- erty and that garbage found on the property has been cleaned up. "We're trying to do everything we can," Ward said. "We don't want it, either." Horse riders, Sierra Club squabble over use of Guana's resources An aerial shot of the Guana dam. by LAURA FOWLER STAFF I 'RTTER A series of public meetings on how to manage the Guana Reserve has revealed a clear rift among nature lovers. On one side of the deepening schism stands groups like the Sierra Club, active environmentalists who work to preserve and protect Guana land and wildlife. On the other side - and with just as much love for the Guana - are horse rid- ing groups such as the Ponte Vedra Riding Club, which is requesting access to the Guana beach through a "well- beaten foot path" across from the north- ern parking lot. "We equestrians just asked to be treat- ed equally," Ellen O'Brien, spokeswoman for the riding club, said at the meeting last week at the Guana's Environmental Education Center. O'Brien sent a letter to Bob Ballard, deputy secretary for the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), on Sept. 13 outlining three requests: access to Guana beach from the northern park- ing lot, permission to park horse trailers on the grass area next to the Guana Dam site and two picnic tables at the Dam site. As of Tuesday, the picnic tables have been granted, the trailhead has been denied and the direct access to the beach is still under review. At last week's meeting, more than a dozen people stood to support these requests on behalf of horseback riders throughout the area who frequent the Guana trails and beaches. All of the riders said they share a love for the Guana's beauty and merely want to enjoy access to the land as hikers and bikers do. "If I didn't have the ability to ride my horses on these trails, I wouldn't be able to take advantage of all the beauty [in the Guana]," said Lynn Brown, who moved to St. Johns County three years ago from Colorado. But a spokesman for the Sierra Club, which touts about 1,000 members in St. Johns County, carried a message of oppo- sition. The Sierra Club opposes any changes to the Guana that. would impact vegeta- tion, including any new trails. The Friends of the Guana, a group of about 700 members, also had questions concerning the impacts of horseback rid- ing and the safety hazards associated with riders crossing ALA. Because the goal of the meeting was to collect public input about the Guana's new management plan, Guana and DEP staff did not offer answers to these ques- tions. But Ballard did offer to put to rest a "ridiculous" rumor that bulldozers would be used to clear a path through the dunes. "I've never seen more gorgeous dunes," Ballard said in the meeting. "We will never do anything to harm those dunes." See GUANA, A-3 Subscribe to The Beaches Leader Calendar .................. A-7 Opinion ........... A-4 C-- -- Classified ................

Josh Watkins with Iraq children near Camp Fallujah. The Marine was killed Oct. 21. Second of two parts Thou shall not be afraid for the terror br night: nor for the arrow that flieth by day. For he shall give his angels charge over thee. -. From Psalm 91 by JOHNNY WOODHOULISE A.SSOCL4TE EDITOR Amy Vasquez is relying on her deep religious faith to help her cope with the loss of her only child, Marine Cpl. Joshua C. Watkins. A 1999 Nease High School graduate, 'Watkins. 25, was killed in action Oct. 21 in S.Iraq. ..,. ,.' . .. Vasquez finds some comfort in Psalm 91, a passage in the Bible about guardian angels Staking "charge over thee." "I know the angels were attending to him when he'was' .shot," Vasquez said last, week in an interview. ; "Angels 'were posting" around him like a guard." I The Marines who were with Watkins when he was felled 'by an' insurgent's bullet dis- played their own brand of guardianship on that fateful. Saturday afternoon outside Camp Fallujah, Iraq. :One Marine in particular a soldier on his second day in Iraq, went *to Watkins' aid 'after the Jacksonville native was shot while following a trip wire believed to be con- nected to an improvised explosive 'device (IED), the biggest killer of troops in Iraq. "Josh's replacements were out on patrol. with him when he went down," Vasquez said, ,"and this one boy [Marine] dragged him to the Humvee and covered Joshua's body with his own so my son would not take any more gunfire. "And this boy was riot a medic, but he did' whatever he could so that Joshua could be driven back to 'Camp Fallujah, : which only .took about 10 minutes." Watkins, a tall, athletic ex- lifeguard who studied con- struction management at the University. of North Florida before enlisting in the Marines at age 22, was "cut- ting up" with doctors at the Marine base before being heli- coptered to a trauma hospital in Baghdad, his mother said. Watkins was sedated on the medevac flight to Balad Military Hospital, where sur- geons lost the battle to save him around 6:30 that night. "Hopefully, someday, even if it's only by e-mail, I can talk with the people who were with Josh during his last moments," Vasquez said. Watkins was only days away from completing his second tour of duty in Iraq when he was mortally wounded. He was scheduled to arrive at Camp Lejeune, N.C., Qct. 31,, where his mother, grand-:: mother and -best friend, Sam . Spearl, were going to meet-,: him when he stepped off a bus from Cherry Point, N.C: 'Instead,, family and friefids assembled last month at the Jacksonville airport to' grant Watkins a final herb's salute as his flag-draped casket was car- ried,off a commercial airliner. Two. Marine sergeants, one from Camp Lejeune and one from Watkins' unit in Iraq, escorted the remains to a waiting hearse parked on the tarmac. . After the plane touched ,down, it passed under an arch of water supplied by two Jacksonville Fire Department pumper trucks. Vasquez said between and eight and 10 motorcycle police officers escorted the. hearse to a funeral home in Maridarin, stopping traffic along the route. "It was awe-inspiring," said Spearl, Watkins' former col- lege roommate. "Josh deserved it." It was only recently while reading the Book of Joshua in' the Old Testament that Vasquez, who attends All Souls Anglican Church in Mandarin,. realized that Joshua in the Bibble was not only Moses' successor, but also a great military leader in his time. Her. son's memorial service was held at All Souls, a church he first attended in grade school. During the service, Vasquez summoned the courage to speak, reciting a poem she wrote to her son during his first deployment in Iraq in the summer of 2005. The last verse reads: "You are my hero. But I haven't told you that until now. How could I? Who knew that you would be the one to be the keeper of my freedom. Yes, dear Marine, you are my hero, but also, to me your mom, you are my very precious son." Watkins kept the poem in a Bible during his first seven- month tour of duty in Fallujah. All Souls is where Watkins, wearing his Marine dress blue uniform, complete with white gloves, escorted his mother down the aisle for Christmas Eve service last December. It's also where he prayed at the church's communion rail before his second deployment to Iraq on April 7, a 'day, before his 25th birthday. Said ' church member' Dennis Pittman in an e-mail: "He was incredibly proud to be a Marine, and to have the privilege of serving his couin- try. .. , * ' "Josh, obviously, had come to All Souls that day to satisfy himself that he was spiritual- ly prepared to face what was yet to come." "His plan was to try and make sergeant before the end of his four-vear stint," said Vasquez, who recently found .the poem she wrote to her son in a Bible by his bedside in her home. "There is nothing I wish I would have-. told him. . Nothing was left unsaid. I don't know how to live,with- out him. He was the center of everything. "It gives me great peace to know that just before he died he' was with his, fellow Marines." A college scholarship fund has been set up in Watkins' name at Compass Bank.

November 8. 2006 The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader Guana Preserve: Cont. from A-I In a telephone interview Tuesday, Ballard said the pic- nic tables were granted as O'Brien and the riding club requested but the trailhead at the Dam: site was denied. He said gopher tortoises inhabit the grassy area where the club wants to park their trucks and horse trailers. Equestrian access to the Guana beach from the north- ern parking lot is still under. consideration. Ballard said, in his opinion, there are two "perfectly legit- imate". ways to access the Guana beach: from Mickler's Landing to the north and from Vilano .Beach' to the south. O'Brien said Tuesday. that both Mickler's and the Gate' gas station in Vilano Beach,. which is the closest parking area to the' south, are three miles from the Guana beach. As for the foot path across from the northern parking lot, Ballard said the endangered beach mouse inhabits the area and there is thick vegetation surrounding the path. There is also an emergency vehicle access to the beach just to the north, but it is 8/10 of a mile from the parking lot and it is unsafe for the riders. to travel that far along AlA. Ballard said an equestrian dune walkover has been men- tioned to him, but those are "extremely expensive" and are not currently in the DEP's budget. "I don't have the funding to do any of that," he said. "Our money needs to be spent on other things." Horseback riding has been allowed for many years on the Guana trails Monday through Friday. Last year, a one-year pilot program extending equestrian access to seven days a week began along with another pro- , gram to allow horseback rid- ing on the Guana beach. The first program expired in , October and the second will- expire on Thanksgiving Day,z according to Ballard. ., Ballard said Tuesday both .programs will be','extendedt another year so that water quality' .can be monitored for bacteria 'levels from horse' feces.

This raises serious questions- about the level of con- trol, if any, the school's administration has over its athletic program." Thomson defended that control, stat- ing that Nease turned itself in to -the FHSAA when the violations were discov- ered. "Because we turned ourselves in, I think' that's one reason why the ,penalties weren't such that we would be disquali- fied from participating in the playoffs,", she said. St. lohns County schools Superintendent Joseph Joyner said Tuesday that the School District is-"disap- pointed" by the violations. . "I am encouraged that the school itself reported it once they found out it was a potential violation," Jpyner said Tuesday afternoon. . W "\Ve certainly accept the ramifications and we'll' move forward with the idea that this is only going to make Nease bet- ter," he said. "Mistakes were made butl we're going to correct them," he, said, adding that among the steps to be taken is making sure all coaches 'are aware of FHSAA bylaws. . Joyner said Thomson "has taken appro- priate action at the school" but would not elaborate. He said the fine would be paid from', Nease's athletic budget. "We do not believe the intent was to induce a student-athlete to attend Nease,, but we realize that circumstances created the appearance of improper conduct," Thomson said. i "We've recognized the mistake and we're going to strive to have an exemplary program here at Nease," Thomson added the player remains on 'the team and no disciplinary action has been taken against the coaches. . The Panthers' roster includes at least three players who transferred in prior to the start of the football season. Two came from outside St. Johns County and one from another state. Nease head football coach Craig Howard said late Tuesday all inquiries about the violations aie being referred to Thomson. "We were up front with [the FHSAA] from the, start," he said. '"The player has not been ruled ineligible arid we're just going to,,go ahead and prepare as always for Friday night's game.

NB City Manager raise. Neptune Beach city council members proposed a 10 percent increase; in salary for the city 'manager at.a meeting Monday. Jim Jarboe, who currently makes $88,200, has been the city manager for almost three years and, according to coun- cilor lohn VWeldon's research. does not make as much as city' managers in neighboring cities. S" think we need to catch him up," Weldon said. In neighboring Atlantic Beach, which is a larger munic- ipality, the city manager is paid: $119,995 annually. - : Council members expressed their gratitude at the improve- ments Jarboe has made to the cityssuch as better teamwork and more in-house projects. "It's 'a competitive field and. we do want to take care of our manager," said Mayor Dick Brown, who, also proposed ra contract extension for Jarboe. Both proposals will beconsid- ered at a December meeting. Bad Fido will cost owner An animal control ordinance amendment' ,imposing new fines for owners of pets'that cause injury was approved at a Neptune Beach City Council meeting Monday. An animal owner will ,be charged $300 for a first offense and $'500 for a second and any subsequent offenses. The amendment more nar- rowly defines an injury by an animal as "a wound 'or other harm to a person or another 320 THIRD ST. 249-3739 I animal inflicted or caused by an animal." . A' number of people have been scarred or knocked down by animals, whether friendly or not, and recently' a woman had to go to the emergency room for a possible neck injury after being knocked down, according to City Manager Jim Jarboe. This ordinance is primarily in place to encourage people not to let their dogs run loose on the beach, Jarboe said.

THOMAS AND TIMOTHY TOMAN, FATHER AND SON - SERVING THE BEACHES SINCE 1965 by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES STAFF WRITER A candle ceremony to honor and remember victims. of Alzheimer's Disease and recognize the. family mem- bers who are their caretakers will be held on Thursday at Hope Adult Day Services in Jacksonville Beach, accord- ing to Carol Neil, director of the center The "Candles of Care" ceremony, which begins at 6 p.m., is a national. event sponsored by the Alzheimer's . Foundation of America (AFA) to remember those who have passed away as a result of the disease and honor fam- ily members who have been affected, according to a press release from AFA. The local ceremony will honor 25 victims of the disease and have guest speakers as well as Beaches city officials in attendance. For caregivers, the ceremony offers the opportunity to connect with other people who are living with the same responsibilities and hardships. "It's comforting to. know you're not, out there alone," said Nancy Tomlinson, who has been caring for her mother for the past four years. Hope Adult Day Services, which FOP: Cont. from A-1 group, which includes police officers' from Atlantic Beach and Neptune, ' Beach, may continue to use the build-' ing. . Faro said the money the FOP received for leasing the building was a financial "mainstaW" for the group. He also expressed anger about the way in which the FOP was advised of the change, not- ing that he was not told about the change until he inquired from the city about why no lease paymrnent had been made to his group. Leslie Lyne, director of the senior center, told the FOP in July that grant Town Center overlay plans are postponed FROM STAFF The proposal for an overlay district in the town center area will most like- ly be put on hold the remainder of the year, according to Neptune Beach City Manager Jim Jarboe SMembers of the Town Center Agency have presented a proposal ,for an overlay district to both Neptune' Beach and Atlantic Beach that would create a uniform zoning code for the, area, regardless of differences in the municipalities' codes. , The commercial area located at the end of Atlantic Boulevard is a shared business district for both cities. Each city has its own set of zoning laws and the agency has proposed one unified set of laws governing, parking, build- ing height, and other planning con- cerns. ' Since the last council meeting, Jarboe met with Atlantic Beach. City Manager Jim Hanson recently to learn his position on the proposal. Atlantic Beach has decided to put the overlay issue on hold, according to Jarboe. Hanson has said previously that a , decision to look at the possibility of commission districts in Atlantic Beach will take up staff time that might have been directed toward re-iewing the proposed overlay district. . ; ^ ^,^ r *;. i I '*'- -j' i NEPTUNE BEACH Page 3A L,4kyvl--LlIAJV-L ul ---- ------ i offers its services to help patients as well as give families and caregivers a much needed break. "Hope keeps him active," said Cecilia Tull, whose husband has suffered from the disease for six years and has been going to the-center since July. Among the activities, the patients watch movies and discuss them to keep them more alert and aware, according to Tull. While patients are at the center, fam- ily members have the chance to take care of necessary errands and typical daily activities that they otherwise do not have the chance to complete. "If it wasn't for Hope and Carol Neil and that fantastic group over there, I'm not sure where I'd be," said Tomlinson, whose mother goes to the center three. times a week. An estimated five million Americans have the disease. The ceremony is held each November for Alzheimer's Disease Awareness month and is an important event for those involved, according to the press release. "We learn from each other," said Tomlinson, who added she looks for- ward to the ceremony. funds were unavailable and that the senior center could not afford the $400. rent, according to Faro. The city attomey .reviewed all the leases and determined that the best solution would be for all the leases to be terminated so that the center could meet its budget, according to a letter written . by Neptune Beach City Manager Jim Jarboe explaining the new arrangement. Lyne said. last week the. agreement was amicable, but Faro said this week that the termination was far from mutually agreeable * I (. / 4, -'" -I ,l I>,i k OUR MISSION IS TO PUBLISH A DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY Page 4A I I I S U |/ I NEWSPAPER FOR THE BEACHES November 8, 2006 www.beachesleader.com Localy Owned and Operated * Serving the Beaches since 1963 THE BEACHES LEADER/PONTE V'EDRA LEADER Letters to the editor: The Leader's Opinion Secret sessions shut out the citizens A hearing later this month to consider possible settle- ment with those who want to open a Wal-Mart in Neptune Beach will not be conducted in secret session. That was the final decision of the city council, but not before several councilors made it clear they would rather the special magistrate's hearing, a form of arbitration that could result in a settlement, be held at a meeting closed to the public. It would be easier if the public is not part of the process was the essence of the council's arguments for excluding citizens from the session. Fortunately, the council heeded the sage advice of its legal advisor, City Attorney Chris White, and cqnclud- ed, after discussion, that the meeting will be open to the public. State law is very clear that the public cannot be excluded from public meetings, except in cases where the governing body is discussing litigation in which it is "presently a party." The city has rejected Wal-Mart's bid to open a store at 600 Atlantic Boulevard, but no litigation has been filed so the city is not "presently a party" to litigation. Public interest in the proposed Wal-Mart has been intense. Exduding citizens from a hearing on the mat- ter at this juncture is both W-advised and, according to the city attorney, illegal. "The best way to ensure that government truly repre- sents the people it serves is to keep the government open and accessible to those people," the state attorney general has said. We agree and would remind the council that making decisions in secret is a means to guarantee public dis- trust in both the process and the outcome.

Jacksonville Beach Hunting is violent To the editor: In response .to Ann Von Thron's "Hunters' daughters. don't whine" column, first 1 would like to ask, what are you talking about? Are you supporting hunting, or opposing it? Hunting is no longer needed for survival, it is just a violent form of recreation. Hunting has contributed to the extinction of animal species all over the world, and has obvi- ously contributed to the decline of quail populations in Florida. Hunters often shoot, and injure animals, and then don't retrieve them. That leaves the animals in the wild to suffer prolonged, painful deaths. Biologists have estimated,thai more than 3 nilliori wounded ducks go unretrieved every year. Hunting accidents often injure or kill unintended victims, such as horses, cows, dogs, cats, or other hunters. Hunting is, not only dangerous, it is unneces- sary. Quails are sweet birds, they care for. their young, and you can often see them traveling in lines with their babies. Quails air also tame birds, you can almostgo up behind them and grab them. How could someone kill such a loving bird, and for no reason? , Sport hunting jeopardizes nature's balance, and it won't be -long until quails, and other game animals become endan- gered, or even extinct. Hunting disrupts migration patterns, which in turn, also disrupts nature's balance. I, personally, don't see how someone could hunt, or could support hunting. So, Dr. -vonThron, if your friend's freez- ei is filling up with quail car- casses, maybe the solution is not just cooking them, maybe it's to stop hunting.

Taking these words to heart, we are our brothers/sisters keepers! Homelessness is not indige- nous to "the Beaches" nor Jacksonville. It is a national dis-. grace that needs national atten- tion. Back in the 1960-1970s, most every state passed "deinstitu- tionalization" legislation. The intent of that legislation was that we would no longer ware- house people, medicate them to the. hilt and. in essence, take away their personhood. We would place them into "group homes" scattered throughout the entire community, absorb- ing them into each and even, school system, each medical facility, each mental health clin- ic. They would receive super- \ised "follow up care". That is the meat of the legislation as well as its intent. Has it been carried out, have w'e lived up to our commit- ment? Well, you tell me. When I see the people wandering aim- lessly, begging for money, imbibing in the local pubs, uri- nating in public places, I won- der about that legislation. The greatest majority of the homeless population have seri- ous mental health/addiction afflictions. A huge majority came out of the foster care sys- tem. Almost 90 percent have no family support system. We no longer have. institu- tions to hide them away, we no longer shoot people up with megadoses of Thorazine/ Lithium. We have become a more enlightened society! We now put them on the street or in the criminal justice system to nourish and protect them. The Beaches Housing Coalition and Neptune Beach city councilor Harriet Pruette have a solution. "Put them in a large "transitional- housing" arrangement in Mayport (four homes already operationall. One wonders why Mayport, when it's been deemed a depressed area for years, why not Ponte Vedra, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach, they too have open spaces, room to build, buildings that could be redesigned. Would they not be better equipped to absorb the children into their school sys- tem, better proximity to med- ical care? How does housing people with a multitude of spe- cial needs, get integrated into an already depressed area such as Mayport? How does *that carry out the intent of the dein- stitutionalization act? Roseanne Hunt-Harkin Citizen's Advocate Atlantic Beach Better retlirmnt option available To the editor: Residents as well as the employees of the City of SAtlantic Beach need to pay cldose attention to the details of the responses given by the City- Manager regarding the opera- tion of the city pension fund. The city employees are already paid far less than their private industry and even gov- ernment counterparts in similar positions and are stuck in a plan that mandates their participa- tion in a long term investment that effectively yields no inter- est at maturity, assuming they vest in the plan to begin with. Would YOU invest your own funds in such a plan? Well...you are! Sound familiar? (Social Secotrity) And if they fall to remain in the plan for at-least five years, the best they can hope for is to get their own contributions back...without interest and like- ly with a penalty for "early withdrawal". lNaks you want to just flock down to city hall and apply, doesn't it? Even social security has a cost of living adjustment, as poorly managed as it is. Is it asking too much to want to at least offset the cost of inflation when you retire? Neither did they bother to indicate that for every year of age less than a regular retire- ment age (despite vesting). reduces your percentage by as much as 5 percent per year in some plans, leaning otherwise uninformed persons to really believe that a city employee could work five years, retire and draw more than what he/she was actually making when they retired. Not likely? NO...IMPOSSI- BLE. In order to even make 100 percent of your average final compensation at a 3 percent annual accrual you would have to work at least 34 years and be at least the minimum retire- ment age and then you could get 100 percent, but not more. Even then, your wages would have had to remain the same for the best five years of your term of employment, too. While it is true that the bur- den of funding any city pension plan rests with the taxpayers, so does the responsibility to make wise investment choices for your employees and taxpayers. There are other choices avail- able to local governments on pension plan participation which t)O offer cost of living adjustments and do NOT reduce the annual level of accrual and very well could limit the ability of the taxpay- ers to only that amount con- tributed on behalf of each city employee. As if it is not already chal- lenging enough to fill critical city service positions in our beaches municipalities, contin- uing to mandate participation in poor long term investments that do not even provide for rises in the cost of living, let alone have at least the potential to earn even higher dividends will certainly not make it any better. REDUCING the annual percentage earning from 2.85 percent to 2.50 percent is a giant step in the wrong direction. You need to at least consider either , associating with the state/county retirement plan, or fashioning a modern retirement system patterned after that plan that makes fixed city contribu- tions into city-sponsored retire- ment plans that are managed by the employees themselves and fix the liability for the city to nothing more than the contri- butions made to the employees' accounts. This would eliminate any unfunded liabWty for the city and provide even better retirement benefits for our city employees that would hopeful- ly help retain them rather than cause them to leave for better benefits. These newer plans leave the investment decisions up to the employees themselves who may do better, or perhaps worse than the existing drcity "financial plan- ners" with the city's contribu- tions, but leaves that responsi- bility up to them and not the taxpayers. Most of these newer retire- ment funds are "portable" and the employees can roll these funds over into similar plans at other agencies rather than sim- ply abandoning them if they do not "vest", making it a win/win proposition for everyone involved... the employees con- trol their investments and con- tinue to build for their eventual retirement, while the taxpayers limit their liability to only those contributions made during the course of their employment. And Atlantic Beach is NOT the only municipality in our area that has no cost of living adjustment in their pensions, either. Talk to any of your retired employees from either Neptune Beach or Jacksonville Beach...they can tell you the same horror stories about no COLA and the continual rises in the cost of their medical bene- fits that further erode their "fixed" retirement benefits. Yet the local lawmakers all scratch their heads to try to fig- ure out why they continue to lose experienced city employees to the City of Jacksonville and other county/state agencies. Our public servants deserve much better for their service.. .and so do our taxpay- ers for their investments, returns and liabilities. Don Stratmnann Jacksonville Beach Graham supports Cecil vote To the editor: The Cecil Field opponents' full-page advertise- ment in the Monday, Nov., 6, 2006 Florida Times-Union seemed to say I support their effort to keep the Navy out. That is completely' untrue. I have long supported the Cecil Field referendum and the return of the Navy,:andI have often said- so publicly. The ad created the impression my position is the opposite of what it actually is, and used my name without my permission. It was particu- larly frustrating that it happened on the eve of the referendum, when there would be no oppor- tunity to correct that misinformation before the vote,. . Some of the Cecil Field opponents are my friends and supporters, but we disagree on this issue. I believe giving our fighting men and women in the Navy .the best training facility is the right thing to do - for our city, our state, and the United State of America. I proudly support the return of the jet base to Cecil Field. Art Graham Jacksonville City Council, District 13 Springs a treasure N oted historian and Florida environmental- ist Marjory Stoneman Douglas once said "Springs are bowls of liquid light." Right. That description will certainly register with anyone who has been underwater in one of Florida's springs. Our state's numerous "reverse waterfalls" are unique 'and priceless assets. That's why it was a downer for me to read an Associated Press story the other day announcing that one of our largest spring systems has stopped flowing. The several springs on the Panhandle Gulf Coast that feed into Spring Creek over there are said by researchers to be no longer blowing. One theory advanced is that a Sept. 10 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico collapsed caves through which the water moves. This possibility has been discounted, however, because the flow stopped over six months back, long before the earthquake occurred. ULnfortunately, there are other ways that a spring can have its water output cut or halted. According to a report from the Southwest Florida Water Management District, "The source of springs is the under- - �gr'ound aquifers. Any activity -that reduces the level oi the: aquifer that feeds the spring results in reduced spring flows. The combination of drought, major development, mining within a spring's recharge basin and groundwa- ter withdrawals from supply wells can reduce or even stop a spring's flow." The possibility that those fantastic fountains where I used to scuba dive could be ruined or turned off has been real. Happily, I've just learned that the state government is busy buying up the land sur- rounding many of them and making them into state parks where certified divers can do their thing. For example, one of my favorite places to satisfy my urge to submerge, Troy Spring in Branford, has been con- verted. This is a safe dive where I could go down to 80 feet to see the sights and still be in open water. When I was journeying there back in the 1970s and 1980s, it was basically boon- dockery. There were no facili- ties and a sand road was the access. Now there are, reportedly, an entrance road, rest rooms, picnic tables, etc. Other springs where [ could enjoy first-class scuba but in a wilderness setting have also been bought up and are being "modernized" and protected for the public's recreation. This has to be a relief to divers, because I can remem- ber springs sometimes being made off limits by.the owners of the land. Often, we think, that gov- ernment is the problem. This time it's apparently the solu- tion. Send letters to: The-Editor, The Leader, P.O.

Eight DUI citations were issued at a Neptune Beach checkpoint Saturday, accord- ing to Neptune Beach Police Chief David Sembach. The checkpoint ran near Town Center at Third Street from 10 p.m. until 2 a.ni. with the help of several other Beaches and- area police departments. There were a total of 303 vehicles which entered, the checkpoint and every third vehicle was stopped.* There were also 83 traffic citations and 10 arrests, according to an after action report. At Monday's Neptune Beach City Council meeting, councilors said they were impressed with the check- point results and asked Sembach if 'it was possible to increase the number of checkpoints, rather than holdifig just one annually. "I think it's a great exer- cise," Councilor John Weldon said, adding he thinks it is a positive influ- ence on drivers. Sembach told the council that it would be too costly, but the Beaches area has three checkpoints through- out the year to reduce the number of drunk drivers. t_ ____________________ ; -. . ,. . .

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 27,2006 Contact Dennis W. Hollingsworth, C.F.C. St. Johns County Tax Collector 904-209-2250 Tax Collector's Office is Self .Sustaining St. Johns County and several other taxing authorities within the County are going to be surprised by the St. Johns County Tax Collector. Although the tax bills will be in the mail within a week, they will be receiving a check and not a bill. St. Johns County Tax Collector, Dennis W. Hollingsworth will give the County and taxing authorities $3,713,829.81. This 3.7 million represents unused revenue the Tax Collector's office earned for the citizens of St. Johns County that was not expended or used in the operation of the Tax, Tag and Driver License Offices. The Tax Collector's Office is a self-sustaining office, operating from monies regulated by Florida Statutes on commissions from the collection of taxes and fees for the mandated State functions of the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, as well as the Department of Revenue. The excess revenues also include interest earned from investments. The excess revenue Mr. Hollingsworth has collected over the past year are a result of the tax and tag offices operating with prudence and efficiency. Mr. Hollingsworth is honored to serve the citizens of St. Jolys County by managing their Tax Collector's Office. "I am personally accountable to each citizen for the way we spend their money and operate their office," Hollingsworth said. "We cannot foolishly spend without realizing we will be held accountable." The major portion of the refund ($3.430,181.06) will go to the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners since it is one of the larger taxing authorities. The other taxing authorities receiving this financial surprise are: St. Johns Mosquito Control $24,933.70 St. Johns River Water Management District $74,338.68 St. Augustine Airport $33,065.26 Hastings Drainage $122.30 SFlagler Estates . '.' , $5.516.44 School Debt $37,014.64 Ponte Vedra Municipal Service.District $4,855.14 Florida Inland Navigational District $6,195.24 St. Augustine Port. Waterway & Beach District $3,568.40 Julington Creek Plantation CDD $30,229.24 St. Augustine Fire Assessment $6,365.24 Marshall Creek CDD $24,297.87 Sampson Creek CDD $11,755.25 Brandy Creek CDD $7,003.22 St. Johns Forest CDD $1,746.43 Turnbull Creek CDD . $3,654.17 Heritage Park CDD $2,969.63 -Heritage Landing CDD $5,637.70 Lake Beluthahatchee CDD $380.20 "One of our annual goals is to increase our efficiency in operating the Tax Collector's Office. As a result we try to increase the excess fees or unused revenues each year. We have been able to match, if not increase, the revenues most of the years since I have had the opportunity to serve as Tax Collector," Hollingsworth said. This refund amount is an estimate because more monies are generated by the office and received throughout the year from other State Agencies such as mobile home revenues received from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and revenues in escrow accounts in Tallahassee from the Vessel Revolving Trust Fund which are distributed quarterly by the Tax Collector's Office.

On Oct. 24, about 1,000 youngsters were bused to Jacoby Symphony Hall for what BRASS president Clarissa Chander called "the big show" with the Jacksonville. Symphony Orchestra corin- ductor Fabio Mechetti. Mechetti and his wife; Aida Ribeiro, headlined the kickoff at Sawgrass Golf Club by playing the four-hand piano. Other featured members of the ISO also appeared. Chandler said BRASS was founded to build attendance for the symphony and 'for the shear joy'of support the arts. "It has evolved from that original inception to include a great deal of edu-, cational components. We run the Instrument Zoo in all the fourth grades east of the Intracoastal," she added. The Instrument Zoo gives students a hands-on opportunity with.symphonic instruments. The group also holds its annual BRASS Ring contest in March for middle and' senior high musicians and vocalists. Next up on the calendar is the Nov. 12, "Swing with the Symphony," a dinner and concert for $100 at TPC Sawgrass, followed by golf 1$500 per person) on the: renovated Stadium Course on Nov. 14; The golf course is scheduled to reopen Nov. 13. Rich Lewis and Mark Sur are co-. chairs of the seventh annual golf event. "We will play on the morning of the 14. It's important to us to be one of the first groups on, the renovated course. The players have played the Stadium Course before. They'll be excited to see how it has changed. "Charlie Zink [executive vice president and co-chief operating officer of the PGA Tour] has been our angel," said Lewis, "in terms;of helping with this project. . ,"He's on the board of the SymphonyN and has worked closely with us.". Lewis said money from the tournament goes straight to the symphony and not to the BRASS treasury. ' Other BRASS events include a Black-Tie Dinner Concert, for members only, on April 9. The contact for membership, ' which costs $100, is Cathey Portrie at 273-4396. A community concert, free and open to the public, will be held May 26 at TPC Sawgrass. - Chandler said BRASS offers a subsidized - bus that takes seniors to Thursday night MfasterWorks concerts on downtown Jacksonville. The cost is $10. NlasterWorks is a Thursday-Friday night series "that's sort of their signature series," she said. "The Symphony also offers Pops, Discovery, Plugged-In, which is aimed at the younger crowd. "To enhance the educational compo- nent, we've joined forces with the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach for joint art and music." The six-week series began Oct. 16. Symphonic ensembles also make peri- odic appearances in the local schools. "The last educational component," said Chandler, "would be that free concert that hits everybody and their gra ndpar- ent." UNF students studying what kids eat - I. by KATHY NICOLETTI COLUMNIST ; s part of their first semester experience at the University of North Florida, 27 UNF students are -applying knowledge from their classes to investigate nutrition in children. - The students are enrolled in the UNF Freshman Interest Group "You are What You Eat: Studying Food and Culture." They take classes in college writing taught by Dr. Leslie -Kaplan, and "Food, Health, and Society". by Stephanie Perry, MSH,, RD, LD/N, CNSD. The two instructors are pro- viding the students with an opportunity, to help design a research study, carry it out, analyze the data, and com- plete written reports on their research., The student-led project is "Cultural.Factors Affecting Reception of Fruits and Vegetable," said Kaplan. In the study, the students will try to identify cultural 4b COOKS factors that influence whether a young child will try fruits and vegetables. After applying to 'the uni- versity for permission to con- duct the research, the students began their research in late September at J. Allen Axson Elementary School off Hodges Boulevard. 'Kaplan and Perry have chil- dren who attend Axson. Last school year, both UNF instructors were involved in a year-long nutrition education program at Axson that was sponsored by the school's PTA. "One of the goals of the study is to determine whether a small, low-cost, volunteer- run nutrition education pro- gram in the school can make an impact on children's will- ingness to eat more fruits and vegetables," according to paperwork the instructors. The study led by the UNF students this year stemmed from the success of the food tasting offered to the stu- dents last year as part of the PTA sponsored nutrition edu- cation program, said Axson principal Paula Renfro. Axson has a student popula- tion of 478 children in pre-K 3 through fifth grade. It is a Montessori magnet school which services children from the Beaches and other Jacksonville areas. There are about 175 students attending Axson who live at the Beach, Renfro said. "Nutrition is very important at the school. Our mantra is healthy body, healthy mind," Renfro added. Axson students routinely cook and prepare their own snacks. Every class has its own garden, too. The children are excited about this year's project and enjoy being part of it. They like being served by the UNF students, said Renfro. The UNF students selected fruits and vegetables to, be, offered to Axson students for six-week progrssm they, dubbed "Tasting Tuesdays." The foods were mango, raspberries, yogurt, plums, cauliflower, zucchini, and can- taloupe, said Perry. The students researched the food choices and chose foods that are nutrient dense. The food choices needed to "not be everyday foods" and be manageable for serving to a large number of children, she added. The families of the Axson students were provided with 'information about the research project and participa- tion in the study was volun- tary. , Each week of the study, the UNF students offered the Axson students a bite-sized See RECIPES, A-12 photo by KATHY NICOLETTI University of North Florida students Miranda Tiona and Josh -Read note students' reactions to cantaloupe. l--~ 0 QA phcto by KEVIN L HOUGHTON, Lance Fair of Jacksonville Beach (center) was one of fout Beaches residents to be honored for their World War II service at a recent ceremony at Mayport Naval Station.

"Our lunches run about $11, including tax and tip, and are served in about 10 minutes, and dinners range from'$12.95 to $28.95," he said.

Be sure to ask about Yetta Seltzer's Chocolate Smetna Cake. "Yetta is my great-great grandmother from St. Louis, and the recipe has been passed down to me," Brett said. "Smetna is the Yiddish word. for sour cream, and the cake is one of our signature desserts here, along with our irre- sistible peach cobbler." In addition to fresh food featuring fresh weekly mari- nades, great prices and a comfortable environment, what makes World Grill different is its wood-burning grill. "It's our niche and the whole concept behind this restaurant," Brett said. "We burn mesquite and hickory wood because it enhances the flavor of our food and makes it look pretty, too." The authentic grill, which is fired up at 9 a.m. to have it ready for lunch, burns all day and evening until the restaurant closes. "The wood-burning grill is also health conscious," he said. "Although we have some items that are sauteed, basi- ,cally we offer healthy choices and guests can build lunch or dinner around a baby spinach salad with grilled fish, shrimp, chicken or beef tips marinated in our weekly mari- nade." World Grill also offers vegetarian, kosher and lac- tose-intolerant items. Ask your server about these options. But there's even more! World Grill offers cooking classes so you, too; can learn some of the restaurant's secrets to Lts ,. mouth-watering entries. Held on the second Mionday of every month, each class features a different cuisine from around the world. "Our first class, slated for Dec. 11, is called 'The Taste of Tuscany,'" Brett said. "It will never be the same cooking - other months we'll prepare dishes from Jamaica, Russia, France and other regions of Italy." The classes-a leisurely three to four hours long-are thorough and generate lively food discussions, he said. "We don't rush it because we want the class to be an expe- rience," he said. "All participants receive instructions and a menu, and then we bring the food out on big platters and serve it family-style with a wine from the region we're studying." A gift certificate for one class or a series of World Grill's cooking classes would be a perfect gift year round. The price is $125 per person per class and includes instruction, recipes and menus. The cooking classes offer a creative activity for social groups, card clubs, dinner clubs, bridal showers and business organizations, too. It's not too early to make holiday dining plans, and World Grill offers a classy, festive environment with a delectable holiday menu. "We will be doing a phenomenal plated menu from noon to 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day," Brett said. "It includes an appetizer, entree, choice of dessert and coffee or tea - all for $26.95 plus tax and tip." A New Year's Eve package is also available. "We want World Grill to be known as the place where you get impressive service and phenomenal food," Brett said. "Frank Boice, executive chef, and I are both center-of- the-plate people who demand that ill.) our food comes out hot and on time, (21 our servers provide fantastic service and (31 our menu is affordable. The next time you're decid- ing where to go for lunch or dinner, we want World Grill to be your first choice.,' A private room is also available for up to 40 people. * --World Grillis-located at 14471 Beach Blvd;..just west-ofthe- Intracoastal bridge and on the north side of Beach Boulevard, under the giant American flag.

But nobody saw 9/11 com- ing. I liked to be a cop, be on SWAT and kick in doors, but the only reason I'm not is I want to have a family." Thomas also loves coach- ing too much, especially football, a sport he played at Tallahassee Godby High, where his father was the defensive coach in the mid- 1990s. "All the things I learned in football, like discipline and chain of command, all that rolled over into the mili- tary," Thomas said. "I love coaching defense for Fletcher's jayvee football team. I was so proud of those guys this season." Fletcher's junior varsity grid team went 7-0 this past season, recording four shutouts on defense. As a first-year jayvee coach at Tallahassee Leon High, Dwight Thomas said he went 7-1 with five shutouts. "Everybody thinks I was an offensive guy because I coached Emmitt Smith at Escambia, but I hated offense," confessed the elder Thomas in a phone inter- view from Springfield, 111., where he works for a nation- al high school and college recruiting firm. "I'm a defensive guy. My one objective was to shut out the other opponent. When I was at Cocoa Beach High, we had eight shutouts one season." On his office desk, Dwight Thomas has a photo of his son with his MP platoon. Caleb isn't hard to spot. He's in the first row. "There are 50 guys in the picture and Caleb is right up front," added the elder Thomas. "He's the first person in my family to go into the military. When he went to Cuba and then to Iraq, he wanted to be the best MP there." Caleb Thomas admits he may have a hard time licking his football addition when he eventually starts climbing the school administration ladder. But his father isn't wor- ried. "It will be a difficult thing to do," adds Dwight Thomas, "but a principal will see the value in Caleb being in both arenas. That's what a football coach is. He's a leader." polo submrtled Former Army Sgt. Caleb Thomas (center) with other non-commissioned officers near a palace in Baghdad. Thomas served in Iraq in 2004.

The Axson students could choose to either try the food or decline to do so. The UNF students observed whether the reaction of the other children, the way they presenter offered or described the food, and the appearance of the food influ- enced whether a child would try the food or not, said Kaplan. The UNF students collected information on the children,s immediate response to the new food and whetheriifving a "trendsetter in the group" leads more children to try the food, she said. They also tracked how many children had previously eaten the food. "It was interesting to watch the kids," said Meredith Crawford, one of the UNF stu- dents. "The fruit usually goes very well because you can tell them it's sweet." Cherish Kelly, another UNF student, said that working on the project gives us "insight about how we eat food.

LOCAL ROUNDUP Nease High football team completes perfect season By ROBERT DeANGELO SPORTS EDITOR A perfect regular season has been achieved and now its full speed ahead for the Nease High football team as it seeks to defend the Class 4A state championship won last December in Miami. The Panthers open the 2006 postseason Friday night at home with a regional quaiter- final contest against Belleview. But last Friday it was all about the Panthers' quest for their first 10-0 season since 1992. Bartram Trail, the District 2-5A champion, was supposed to present a stiff challenge for Nease, but junior quarterback Ted Stachitas was nearly flawless in shredding the Bears defense for 269 yards and a pair of TD passes in the 24-17 victory. "I thought Stachitas was bril- liant in passing," said Nease head coach Craig Howaid. "I mean, he was 8-for-10 in the first half, then we came back out in the second half and he went 6-for-7 down the field. It was high-percentage stuff and Ted [was] reading the coverage so well. That's what our game plan was." Bartram Trail had a couple of opportunities to make a statement early in the game, but two drives from deep within Nease territory result- ed in only three points - Ryan Brookins' 25-yard field goal and a missed attempt from 15vards out. "Wind affected the kicking game more than our offensive strategy," said Bartram coach Darrell Sutherland. "We were really looking more at what they were doing defensively and just trying to take advan- tage of anything we might be able to get that way." Nease put 17 second-quarter points on the board when Allen Schaefer connected on a 52-yard field goal, Christian Dennis caught a 42-yard scor- ing strike from Stachitas and Chris Johnson banged into the end zone from six yards out. "We were a little shaky, actually, in the first drive but then after that we stepped up," Stachitas said. "Everyone started playing great. The line was making great blocks, the receivers were catching the ball. |J,.:H ,,' :,*. .*. :: * , ..

The Panthers won in for games to advance to the state's final four. "We knew they would blitz a lot and our line picked up everything perfectly." The Panthers took a 17-3 lead into the locker room at halftime, but the Bears responded with a 80-yard scor- ing drive to start the third quarter. The drive was sparked by Bartram QB Kyle Parker who finished the night 13-of- 23 for 169 yards passing and one touchdown. Parker scam- pered in from 8 yards out to shrink Nease's lead to 17-10 midway through the third quarter. But the Panthers responded with a scoring drive of their own that culminated in a 10- yard TD pass from Stachitas to Quinton Huggins. "It was critical that we scored after they scored to start the second half," Howard said. "If we hadn't done that, we might not have won. Nease girls volleyball reaches Final Four. With an attitude of, "Once we're in the final four any- thing can happen,' the Nease High girls volleyball team advanced to the state semifi- nal round with a four-game victory over Groveland SoLth Lake last Thursday night. The Panthers downed the visiting Eagles, 25-18, 25-21, 26-28, 25-17, to win the Class 4A Region 3-4A final. Nease's final point, an emphatic kill by junior out- side hitter Paige DePriest, touched off an exuberant cele- bration of fans and players as the team equalled its furthest voyage into the postseason. "It still hasn't hit me that we actually won yet," said sen- ior middle blocker Laura Phillips. "Nease hasn't made the final four since 1992. It's surreal. It's awesome. We're all stoked that we set this as a goal and we achieved it." Nease rode the hot hands of DePriest, who had 24 points, 13 kills and a dozen digs, and Meghan Sherman, who totalled 42 assists, 21 points and 17 digs. But it was far from a two- player show. The Panthers received major contributions from middle blocker Christina Vergo (nine kills), senior right side Meghan Oakley (eight kills), 24 digs from libero Cierra Pillsbury, seven kills from setter Tara Carrigan, and Phillips' five blocks.

On Wednesday, along the big jetties, Capt. Fred Bridges 'and David Kelly used fiddlers for bait and caught 10 sheepshead weighing up to six pounds. Earlier in the day they, took the "Little Bodacious" up some of their favorite creeks and, using arti- ficials, caught six trout to four pounds. Steven Bohn, and his sone Eric. anchored their rig along the rocks on Wednesday and caught 20 sheepshead weigh- ing up to 7.25 pounds. They used live fiddlers for bait. Veteran guide Fred Morrow staved in the creeks last week for excellent catches of trout and redbass. On Tuesday, Jim Padgett and Libby Morris fished the creeks with Fred and they netted eight redbass, four trout and a flounder. On Wednesday morning, Colonel Fred Irving and his WIMPY SUTTON FISHING LEADER son, Fred, caught 34 speckled trout to 18 inches, seven red- bass to 31 inches and four flounder weighing up to 4.5 pounds. The flounder'came on strong last week along the river banks and especially at Guana. Jonathan Moran and Matt Hamilton teamed up last Sunday at Guana for a catch of 28 flounder to 4.5 pounds, one red and seven trout. Mike Tandarich and Buck Gergley took advantage of the northeaster last Sunday and headed where the fishing is always good when the weath- er is rotten. Using live finger, mullet for bait, it didn't take them long to catch some big flounder. Mike caught four of them to eight pounds and Buck had five to five pounds in his cooler. On the Jacksonville Beach Pier, young Cody Hendrix led the fishing with a cooler full of pompano, whiting and blues. The .wind was wicked most of the week but the reg- ulars came off with pompano, blues and whiting. Pier man- ager Faye Cotner reports there were also several dozen over- sized redbass that had to be released. Canal guide John Dyrssen, with Dwight Hibbard and his daughter, Candy, last Wednesday brought eight speckled trout and a pair of redbass to the net. They also released a dozen small man- groves. Capt. David King, from his "Crusty Crab," fished Nassau Sound last week until the strong winds made it impossi- ble.

On Thursday, the "Fishman" had guests from St. Louis. They used live shrimp in the canal and caught 15 speckled trout and their limit of redbass. Last Wednesday morning, Dennis Young, Butch Garvin and John Campbell used live shrimp under corks to catch 45 speckled trout. They were fishing the river not too far from the Mike Scanlan Boat Ramp. On Thursday, Butch and John made almost the same' trip in the river near the Maypo'rt docks and caught 29 speckled trout using live shrimp. Capt. Dave Sipler fished with friends Don and Diana last' Wednesday and caught a redbass, three speckled trout and several 'sharks. On Thursday, Don Lane fished the river with Capt.

L ast week after a tri- umphant road trip by the Jacksonville Jaguars in which they clamped down oh. Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles, the ques- tion was which one of Jack Del Rio's teams would show up to greet the Tennessee Titans.. Not even Del Rio him- self had the answer. Then on bleak Sunday, a day more fitting for the kind of disaster the Titans used to serve upon Jacksonville, 'the years suddenly faded away and the old stars of the Mark Brunell-Jimmy Smith-Keenan McCardell era showed up playing under the names David Garrard, MauriceJones- Drew and Fred Taylor. The Jaguars erupted for a a 37-7 slani ming of the once-feared boys from Nashville. Actually,' Titans coach Jeff Fisher was the villain who used to delight in picking at Jacksontille. But let by-gonies be by-gones. Coach Fisher is probably a nice guy and, actu- ally, he wasn't poking more fun at Jacksonville than any- one else' does, so let's just con- sider the sources. -R REX EDMONDSON PRESS BOX Now, about the "new" Jaguars. Did they handcuff the Titans Sunday because it was just their week to shine? After. all, the Jaguars, have played on and off all season. . Did the newlook of Garrard account for most of the lie offense, or was he just the lucky recipient of an old-time offense suddenly coming back from the grave? This columnist will.not engage in the feud over who should be behind center., Byron Leftwich is too sacred to certain members of the media. and besides, when he recovers from his serious injury he will again be the leader of Del Rio's team - and never doubt it. Few fans have ever had the chance to talk to David . Garrard in a quiet moment away from the crowd and game. They would be pleased to 'know he is a good-natured, fine athlete and very savvy. All these years on the sideline haven't rusted his brain or caused his muscles to atrophy. Most of all, Garrard hasn't kidded himself about his role with the Jaguars. He knows he's still No. 2 as long as Byron Leftwich is available and that is as long as owner Wayne Weaver and chief of staff James Harris are there. They call the shots in this sit- uation, not Jack Del Rio. , Now what about the Jaguars defense against Tennessee? The Titans were playing in their "second home" as Fisher used to call Alltel Stadium, but . on Sunday the Nash'ille boys looked like they didn't know what hit them. As usual, Rashean Ma this had his week- ly steals, picking off two of rookie Vince Young's heaves. And as usual, Rashean gave credit to the linemen for the pressure they put on an inex- perienced quarterback. Question; How come the Jaguars don't play like that every week? Maybe Del. Rio should hypnotize his players on the road and tell them, "You're getting sleepy . .. you're playing at home. You're , in Alltel Stadium ...". It's' worth a try. ..Let;s see what happens next week at home against a Texans team that ran roughshod over the Jaguars just a few weeks ago. Meyer gets Gators to SEC title game in his second season ,Meanwhile, congratulations to coach Urban Meyer and his Florida Gators for gaining ' entrance to the SEC title game. Regardless of who is quarterbacking the Gators, UF plays like champions. Also, kudos to Florida State for its comeback. Old Bobby is not 'through - yet. '..And Georgia? Well, they're still playing, more or less. 'Give the Dogs a C-plus for effort.
