The property, located on the north side of A1A between Chester Road and Pages Dairy Road, is zoned industrial, but the applicants, Johnny, Daniel, and Gary Dudley, requested rezoning to high-density residential for Courtney Isles, a 240-unit apart- ment community. The planning board voted 4-1, with Jeanne Scott dissenting and board members Ronnie Braddock and Richard King, absent, to not recommend the rezoning after lis- tening to community members speak against the proposal Tuesday night. Anthony Robbins, of Prosser Hallock Planners and Engineers, spoke on behalf of the project. "It will encourage internal vehicular circulation and pedes- trian movement, and bicycle con- nection to Nassau Commerce, a ON THE MO VE place to live, work, play and grow," Robbins said. He explained that the project would include an activity center at the intersection of A1A and Chester Road, a 240-unit apart- ment community and would pre- serve wetlands. "I'm not against growth," said Angie Wallace of Nassauville. "I think the proposal made tonight made a lot of sense. There are a lot of great areas in our county that can be developed."

JENKINS News-Leader The Fernandina Beach City Commission may take action to invalidate the results of next Tuesday's charter ballot referen- dum. City Attorney Debra Braga said during Tuesday's regular com- mission meeting she would research the steps required for the commission to throw out referen- dum results because of unclear bal- lot wording. "I'll have to talk to the Division of Elections and find out exactly" how to proceed, Braga said. "We'll probably need to have a special meeting if we want to try to take it off the ballot." But removing the referendum from the ballot may not be an option because early voting has begun, she said.

MICHAEL PARNELL News-Leader Fernandina Beach Police Chief Robert "Chip" Hammond gave the maximum allowable contribution, $500, to each of two candidates in Tuesday's city election. Hammond is listed among the contributors to Mayor Greg Roland, who is seeking re-election as a group 2 city commissioner, and Bill Leeper, seeking election to the group 3 city commission seat. Roland is a deputy fire chief in Jacksonville, Leeper a state high- way patrol officer. Campaign treasurer's reports were filed with the city clerk's office March 28. A sec- ond set of trea- -- surer's reports is ,- .. . due to be filed today. A find set of reports is due . April 25. Roland is con- tested by former mayor Joe Gerrity for the Hammond group 2 seat on the city commis- sion. Leeper is vying with Ed Coop and Martha Garvin for the group 3 seat. According to the finance reports filed March 28: Roland had received $1,700 in cash or checks and $175 in in-kind contributions. In addition to the police chief, his contributors included Scott McClenning, city Planning Supervisor Lupita McClenning's husband, who gave $100. Other contributors were Cambridge South Inc., a bookstore owner, and contractor Jason Rowe, $250 each. Smaller contributions came from cemetery maintenance business owner Carl Jones, $150; retiree Celeste Kavanaugh and ELECT Continued on 3A GLENDA S. JENKINS News-Leader Fernandina Beach Commission- ers have agreed to hire an architect 'who will determine if three houses on South Fletcher Avenue comply with the city's existing building code. But the owner of the houses told the commission Tuesday that hiring a consultant fails to absolve the city of accountability for incon- sistently issuing permits. "The city is responsible. They need to stand behind what they've done," said Ron Holmes. "Your code, even as you amended it, is not proper either." Holmes said the city issued him a permit for the houses in October. Election Tuesday Early voting continues today for the city election. Absentee ballots are available also. Election day is Tuesday. Five candidates seek two seats on Ihe city commission, there is a straw ballot for mayor and an election referendum charter amendment. Candidates for a three-year term to the group 2 seat are incumbent Greg Roland and for- mer commissioner Joe Gerrity. Candidates for a three-year term to the group 3 seat are Ed Coop. Martha Garvin and Bill Leeper. A runoff election would be he!d May 10 if none of these three receives at least 50 per- cent of the vdtes. The straw ballot for mayor includes the three commission- ers who are not up for election this year. They are Vice Mayor Beano Roberts, John Crow and Ken Walker. The referendum would aller the municipal election process. Instead of elections each year, they would be held every other year in ever.-numbered years. The terms of commissioners would be extended from three to four years. A Yes vote approves the change. Early voting continues from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and Monday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the city clerk's office in City Hall. 204 Ash St. Absentee ballots are available at the clerk's office. The election is scheduled from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at two polling places the Atlantic Avenue Recreation Center. 2500 Atlantic Ave., for voters in Precinct 102, and the Elm Street Recreation Center/Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Center, 1200 Elm Street, for voters in Precinct 101. "I presented plans for you to review . and now you say they're not right," he said. "I feel like the city is responsible for their employees and they need to stand behind what they've done. You've opened your- self up to a lot of litigation because of inconsistency in your code." Commissioners voted 3-2 Tuesday to hire Robert Overly III to review the building height, set- backs and permit requirements for houses at 2252, 2262 and 2272 South Fletcher Ave. Vice Mayor Beano Roberts and Commissioner John Crow voted against the meas- ure that contracts Overly to estab- lish the accuracy of building per- mits issued for the sites.

The following precautions will help ensure that your donation benefits the people and organiza- tions you intend to help: What is the exact name of the charity? Ask, if that informa- tion has not been given to you. Ask what percentage of the donation is used to support the causes described in the solicita- tion, and what percentage is used for administrative costs. Call the charity to find out whether it's aware of the solicita- tion and has authorized the use of its name. It's important to veri- fy this. If the letter or telemarketer claims that the charity will sup- port local organizations, call the local groups to verify.

CITY Continued from 1A Fernandina, read to the commis- sion, asked the commission to "file legal action in circuit court to have the vote on the referendum nulli- fied prior to the city election." The letter, read by Judy Belz on behalf of Concerned Friends, also indicated that Vice Mayor Beano Roberts had expressed doubts about the clarity of the referen- dum language during a March 24 voting machine test and certifica- tion. The letter, which called the ref- erendum wording "seriously flawed" and asked the commission "to do the fair and right thing," included a transcript excerpt from an audio recording of that certifi- cation meeting. ' "This is not clear. This should make reference to county elec- tions," Roberts told Braga and City Clerk Cassandra Mitchell after hearing the referendum read by the audio voting machine. "It needs to be said... 'to coin- cide with county elections,' because the main thrust, other than that extra year which I could care less about, is to save the cost of the election." "You don't think they will understand it?" Mitchell asked Roberts. "Nah, they're not Rhodes schol- ars in Fernandina," he replied. "OK, we do need to add more in there," Mitchell said. "I move that we do that. I sec- bnd that motion," Roberts said. "It's too late." Braga said. Concerned Friends of Fernandina has publicly opposed the referendum to amend the city charter. The city commission denied the group's public request to separate the three referendum issues on the ballot. The ordinance enacting the ref- erendum asked voters to decide if the city charter should be changed to move city elections from the spring to early fall, to modify the terms of office from three years to four years, with elections for all group seats occurring in even- numbered years, and to shift Nah, they're not Rhodes scholars in .. Fernan- w "o dina.' VICE MAYOR BEANO ROBERTS responsibility for conducting municipal elections from the city clerk to the Nassau County Supervisor of Elections. 'The current wording of the referendum... makes absolutely no reference to the election timing change, nor does it mention the reduction of the city clerk's role from conducting to coordinating," Belz read. Commissioners could not legal- ly vote on whether to nullify the results during the meeting, Braga said. "I would probably need to have an advertised meeting and take comment," she said. "I think we look pretty foolish backtracking on that," Commis- sioner Mike Lamb said. "I think we can go with the will of the people." "I think it's confusing to what 'the will of the people' is if you read the way it's worded," Commissioner Ken Walker said. "Everything was in the ordi- nance," Braga said. "Next time I'm going to read everything right out loud to you guys." "And for your information Judy, I spoke to the city attorney today about just how do we go about invalidating that," Roland told Belz after hearing the letter, adding that he and Dave Lott of Concerned Friends had exchanged e-mails on the issue. "So that action is already under way. She was going to research it" Roberts said the referendum should remain on the ballot "Let's let it ride," he said. "I wish there was some way that we could publicly state most of our position on this... But here again, like other things, it's our fault."

"Is this necessary now?" Roberts said. "I got all I needed to hear from the building and zoning department, and I trust whatever they said," he added, referring to an April 1.special meeting on the case. "We need to take a good hard look and sort the facts as we find them," because the evidence so far has consisted of "rumor and innu- endo" about public employees, said Mayor Greg Roland, who called for the independent investigation. "I also think that we need to take a step further and see if it meets the criteria for sending it up to the FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement) or the state attorney's office," he said.

Roland, who requested that cit- izens forward "concrete" evidence to the city police department, reit- erated the need for state interven- tion if necessary "to make sure all of our hands are clean," he said, He also asked the city attorney to contact FDLE. "I think that's what the public wants," Roland said. "If our citizens can't have con- fidence, in our employees and our government workers, then we're in trouble," Roland said. gjenkins@fbnewsleadercom SUPPORT MUSIC EDUCATION IN NASSAU COUNTY Anama Redents In Action for the Symphony P.O.

"You guys are the architects of our future," Wallace told the board. "You can be the artists or you can be the butchers." Robert Weintraub, president of the East Nassau Homeowners Council, cited several concerns, including increased traffic on already crowded roads, hurricane evacuation route congestion and the possibility that an even larger number of units could be con- structed. "When you change the zoning to high-density residential, he can build 300 to 360 units on the prop- erty," Weintraub said. "They can always change it later and say that's the zoning." Robbins responded, "That sim- ply is not possible due to the fact that we only have concurrency for 240 units. There's just no way they could have concurrency for more than 240 units." Yulee resident George Lawrence, representing the Pirate Woods Homeowners board of directors, said the board has strong objections to rezoning the area. WATKINS Continued from 1A Now, each morning and after- noon, he places the eager poodles in their touring basket and takes off to meet and greet Watkins is a born extrovert who enjoys chatting with people: friends, relatives, strangers it doesn't matter. And he always has an amusing story to tell from his life experiences. Not that life has been a walk in the park. As a boy, he worked hard to support his mother and younger sisters, working in a grocery store and then, when he was in his late teens, hauled coal out of the Kentucky mountains. At 17 he drove a school bus, then had a short-lived career (just one night) as a driver for a cattle car. Already planned are a new shopping center, projected to be the county's largest, that will add traffic to A1A and Chester Road, and the construction of Amelia Concourse, with more than 3,000 homes planned along the new road. "Our intersection will be the busiest intersection on A1A," Lawrence said: "It will probably be the busiest intersection in the coun- ty. I think we have a concurrency problem." He added that A1A already exceeds its capacity and addition- al lanes would not be completed in time to meet forthcoming growth needs. "There is no funding for these additional lanes," Lawrence said. "The earliest start date is 2010. More traffic. Road rage. Lights change and cars don't move. These are all possibilities." Tom Cote-Merow, co-president of Amelia Island Association, which represents island homeowner groups, said widening A1A to six lanes is not the answer. "It's just plain not going to work," he said, adding the Amelia Island Association would like to see a moratorium on development along A1A. Lillian Wilder of Nassauville "That was one of the scariest moments of my life," he says. "It was a night trip on a job that I had taken on the spur of the moment. A drunk driver crashed into the back of the cattle car. His wife and daughter were killed, and he was unconscious, in serious shape. The regular driver of the cattle car, who was accompanying me on the trip, was also knocked out. Dazed and frightened, I wanted to just run away, but didn't. I called the police." Ironically, when the police arrived, they arrested Watkins. "We're sorry, but everyone else is dead or unconscious. We have to take somebody in." Watkins spent three days in jail before it was all straightened out. Not long afterwards, Watkins ANNOUNCING THE OP HOUSE 4 ...... -.. .... .......... ... .... ..... O F.

Planning and Zoning Board member Sue Hutchinson also said more infrastructure should be considered before making development decisions. "It may be that this is an excellent idea, but that the timing is wrong," she said. Though petitioners may ask for zoning changes to the county's future land usage map (FLUM), those changes don't have to be accepted. "Don't accept the FLUM changes unless you,ve got an absolute assurance that we are OK first," Hutchinson said. The Nassau County Commissioners are scheduled to vote on the issue after a public hearing at 7 p.m. April 25, at the county meeting room on Pages Dairy Road in Yulee. The commissioners may choose to support the Planning and Zoning Board's recommenda- tion, or to overrule the recom- mendation, which would transmit the application for rezoning to the Florida Department of Community Affairs for review. married "my Jewel, a girl I met in Waycross." He had been caring for his widowed mother, and because of that he was exempt from the draft. But marriage thrust him into the AI class for draftees, and he soon found himself in the Coast Guard Artillery, headed for Europe. "I continued to help my mother, sending half my allotment to her (that was fine with Jewel) and the other half to my wife." "When I was finally discharged and came home, I saw our son for the first time. He was two-and-a- half years old," he recalls. "We were living in Waycross, and I worked on odd jobs to sup- port us. Then, a friend asked me to drive with him to Fernandina, where his brother worked at Rayonier. While there, I met pipe fitter foreman E.R. Kelly. We chatted a few minutes, then he asked me if I would like to work at the mill. He hired me on the spot." Watkins worked at Rayonier for the next 33 years, first as a pipe fit- ter and then, later, as an assistant to the turbo engineer. "I've enjoyed my life," he says. "I also licked prostate cancer by catching it early. I've had friends who died of that disease because they wouldn't bother to get regular checkups. The saddest part of that is, it's curable if caught early. "When the stroke laid me up, I was determined to get back on my feet and enjoy the rest of my life. The good Lord has pulled me through cancer and a stroke, so he must have a reason for me to still be here and I'm going to make the most of it.

Westside prepares to go 'CrTisin' for a Cure LIL SPINKS West Nassau Correspondent West Nassau Relay for Life organizers hope to have 30 teams "Cruisin' For a Cure" at this year's event, slated to run from noon April 16 to 6 a.m. April 17 at the football field of West Nassau High School. The goal is to raise $35,000, said relay co-chairperson Ginger Young, who with her fellow com- mittee members is working on several entertainment features, including a sock hop, classic car display, drive-in movie and "Ms. Relay Competition." "We are very blessed in this community to have the people we do, coming together for a cause like this," said Young. During the "Ms. Relay Competition," men dressed in drag will solicit donations while walking the track Saturday evening. Whoever collects the most donations in his "purse" will be the winner. People have from noon on Saturday until the start of the Survivors' Lap at 6 p.m. to set up their campsites. Following the Survivors' Lap, there will be a reception for the survivors and their caregivers. The Luminary Ceremony will take place at 9 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to purchase luminar- ies in memory of family members or friends who have lost their bat- ties with cancer or as a thank you . in the name of those who are sur- vivors. They are asked to pay a minimum of $1 per luminary. The luminaries are placed around the track and lighted. In a moving ceremony, all surround- ing lights are turned off to reveal the glowing luminaries and the names of those for whom they were purchased are called out. Young said so far 17 teams have signed up to participate in "Cruisin' For a Cure," including The Jitterbugs, The Pink Ladies & Gentlemen, The Twisters, Alpha Delta Kappa Delta Nu, The Silver Sneakers, Nassau County 4-H Club, Anne Corum, The Jailhouse Rockers, Team YMCA, The West Side Democrat Diddybops, the Hilliard High School Muppets and the radiologists from Shands/Jax have just formed a team they call Grease Lightning.

The event is the largest fund-raiser for the Greater Nassau County Chamber of Commerce each year. "It was great," said tournament director Randy Horton. He said he received many good comments, but that the chamber is always look- ing for suggestions to improve the event. Horton said he had a lot of help from about 15 volunteers, all them easy to spot dressed in pump- kin colored shirts, and of course, the weather, which could not have been better for the outdoor event. Players paid to take part in four competitions during the tourna- ment.

A concern in 49 out of 50 states There are about 2000 known species of termites throughout the world. In the U.S., Subterranean termites, including Eastern, Western, Desert and Formosans, which build underground nests, are a concern in every state except Alaska. Subterranean termites are extremely destructive, because they tunnel their way to wooden structures (like your home), into which they burrow to obtain food. Termites all share a virtually insatiable appetite for wood and other cellulose-containing materials. Given enough time, they will feed on the wood until nothing is left but a shell. M lB Termite Prevention Tips When it comes to gaining access to your home, termites are amazingly proficient. The last thing you want to do is make their job easier.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2005/News-Leader OPINION VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Main Beach getting shortchanged On my way to Fletcher Avenue last week, I did a double-take at the Atlantic stoplight. Where was the cabana? I learned that a con- tract is already in place to build a new one, a $99,000 prefabricated concrete structure that looks like a neat little garage. Just restrooms, - no community room, no first-aid room, no outside nature display, no special "beach" design. Was the design presented at a city commission meeting? Were Main Beach committee members allowed to review the design? (No.) How did this happen? I had a long talk with Nan Voit, recreation and parks director. Her approach is that a park can be developed by selecting good ideas from catalogues and examples from what other parks have done and placing these elements in Main Beach without the involvement of a designer. As a graduate of Parsons School of Design, and someone who worked in commercial design for 16 years, I believe that outstanding public spaces can only be achieved through the vision of a professional designer who can pull together the elements of a park (uses, open space, structures, fhaterials, light- ing, landscaping, pavements) so that everything reinforces a design concept, i.e., "open, airy, playful." We already have one outstand- ing public space, which is Centre Street, but this did not happen without the involvement of a design firm. The Ohio firm that designed Centre Street in the late 1970s did such a good job that it has lasted 30 years. Fernandina Beach is a small town of 11,000, but it has amazing resources public space on the ocean (Main Beach) and public space on the river (marina uplands), connected by a "grand boulevard" (Atlantic Avenue). Wouldn't it be great if both ends of Atlantic were terrific public spaces? Main Beach is being short- changed if not designed as a whole concept by professionals. A con- ceptual plan is not enough. There should be sketches of the struc- tures, pictures of proposed light- ing, benches and bike racks, a land- scaping plan, a board showing proposed materials and colors, a budget. All for review by the com- mission and the public. Its design should relate to the historic use of Main Beach. In a News-Leader article sever- al years ago, Ernest Chaplin said, "There was really more to do in Fernandina than there is today. We had the Casino at Main Beach with a skating rink and bowling alley. Moore's across the street was the real go-spot, dancing and out of this world hamburgers." Seaman Hudson said, "Mr. and Mrs. Moore had the Blue Room, which was just for youth. Young people would gather there for visiting and danc- ing. Dating was not a part of it we all just showed up." Consider this. The waterslide property at Main Beach is up for sale. The 8-Flags skating rink and bowling alley have closed. The Putt-Putt lease will be up for renew- al shortly. The city has lots of facil- ities for team sports and little kids, but where can middle and high school kids go to have fun and hang out?

Joan Cory Fernandina Beach All about the green Re: The recent letter from Jack Healan of the Amelia Island Co. ("Crane Island, 'the right way,' March 30) spouting revisionist his- tory. I have only been here 16 years but that is long enough to catalog a number of issues that suggest the "environmentally friendly" role is not one that is totally consistent with the facts and surely doesn't give comfort to "The Plantation's" potential role with Crane Island. Who remembers "The Plantation" employee instructed to remove birds that were eating gold- fish from their ponds? Are gold, fish a natural species of the north Florida environment? The employ- ee utilized a firearm and killed birds that were not subject to a hunt or a license allowing such hunting. The exterminated birds were natural to north Florida's environment! What was the result? A public mea culpa and repercus- sions against the game officer that had the audacity to enforce the law against "The Plantation." Coastal setbacks? I remember driving on the beach when that was allowed and seeing the con- dominium on "The Plantation" that was perilously close to falling in because of beachfront erosion. Dunes are a buffer provided by nature to protect us from the daily fluctuations of the environment, namely the ocean. The first rule of nature is that nature wins, unless of course you have 'The Plantation" mentality. What do you ' 0 .'0h96i nati&re is vitning?

By the way, that fertilizer and water would not be necessary for the natural envi- ronment that existed prior to 'The Plantation's" interpretation of what was and was not "environmentally friendly." There also exists a ques- tion as to the environmental responsibility of golf courses because of the amounts of fertiliz- ers and other chemicals utilized as well as the volumes of water required to maintain those beauti- ful green expanses. The argument Healan espouses of "The Plantation's" environmen- tal responsibility is blue smoke and subterfuge. This issue is all about money, money derived from devel- opment of the few remaining nat- ural resources we have here in Fernandina. Transfer of "units" of development within the coastal high hazard zone is a concept that needs to be considered much fur- ther than the mere existence of numbers. Those units were designated for specific areas and the conditions within that area in existence at the time of their creation. Transferring those units, which otherwise would arguably be no longer usable at "The Plantation," to another loca- tion miles away at a time and place much different than when they were created for the south end is, the real issue here. Creation rf con- servation easements for tax bene- fits does not generate the right to transfer "units" to some other area for financial benefit for the trans- ferring entity. Here 'The Plantation" would benefit twice - tax credits for conservation ease- ments and the sale of "units" to another developer. Is this yet anoth- er change of the rules? Healan should tell the truth, environmental friendliness is about green American dollars not green natural resources when you have "The Plantation" mentality. John J.

I just wanted to say "thank you" to every- one at Kelley Pest Control for car- ing about the troops' morale by supporting me and my friends!

The latest travesty to our nation came March 31, when a fellow American died from dehydration and starvation, in a case that could have been prevented. Terri Schiavo, from what I have read, was not one who would have want- ed her name and life so publicized, however, she, in her life and in her death, has taught us that we must heed the words of Einstein and no longer stand idly by. Where were you when Terri passed from this world? Drinking your second cup of coffee? i'tniihi linb the brief that was due the day before? Laughing with a fellow coworker? I was sitting at my desk, dumbfounded that a country that was founded on "jus- tice for all" allowed this woman to die such a horrific death! I think somehow I had hoped above all hope that a measure would be passed, that a hero would emerge, that someone somewhere would stop this. Therein lies the problem. I personally did not want to become involved. I wanted someone else to make the difference. It did not happen this time and a family that wanted only to save their daugh- ter's life is mourning today. Visit our participating advertisers at our home on the world wide web.

It is truly a sad day for our nation. With deepest sympathy to Terri's family, I am sorry that I did not do more. Tonya Hammer Yulee Keep your pets safe Last night I rescued a very large dog on Will Hardee. The poor big guy was sopping wet and dodging traffic. He recognized rescue when it came his way and jumped right into the back seat of my car. His neck and upper back were raw from chaffing, which worried me. He had on a collar and an unread- able rabies tag from Jax Beach. Nobody had reported him missing to the police, and the Humane Society was closed. Luckily, the Humane Society has an emergency number to call and they came and picked him up from my home. If this dog had been wearing a personal ID tag, I could have imme- diately called the owner of the dog, and he would not have had to spend the night in "doggy jail," and some very worried pet owner would not have had a very anxious night won- dering where their wonderful pet was. A personal ID tag is an easy, inexpensive means of having your pet returned to you in the shortest period of time, and are sold at the entrance of WalMart. I put on my dogs' tags their name, address and my home and cell phone numbers. If your pet only gets lost once in its life and is safely returned to you because of that tag, it's more than worth the $4 or $5 you paid for it. L.

Amelia Community Theatre has presented musi- cal theatre for 24 years, and we just celebrated this milestone with "A Song Runs Through It," an evening of songs from our musicals, performed by mem- bers of our community. There were touching moments and for some of us that have been here from the beginning, a few tears and many moments of pride. When we started in 19811 really didn't think any of us thought ahead to what ACT would be 24 years later, but we couldn't have chosen a more appropri- ate slogan, "ACT Puts the Community on Stage." We need to pay tribute to the three directors that have brought ACT to where it is today, Ellen Green Ensley, our founder, Mary Leonard Hurt, and our current managing director, and Linda McClane. A big thank you is due the community that has so resoundingly supported us all these years. As one of the charter members of ACT and the current pres- ident of the ACT Guild and chairman of "A Song Runs Through It," I also want to thank all the members past and present of ACT, all the musicians, actors, technicians, and volunteers in all capacities that make our productions possible. There were over 21 singers and musicians that came back to entertain us with music from our past. In support of them, over 50 volunteers and Guild members planned and implemented decorations that contributed to the ambience, moved and set up lights and sound equipment, set up screens, risers, tables, chairs and all things necessary to make the Atlantic Rec Center ready for a show. Helping and supporting us were many members of the community that we want to publicly thank. The Fernandina Beach Atlantic staff was always coop- erative and helpful in any way we needed them. Our caterer, Chef Jeff and his staff could not have been easier to work with. The Waterwheel and Southern Touch helped with our ticket sales. The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival loaned us risers that helped us enhance the staging. Adding to the entertainment and profit for the evening was the auction planned by Dan Doulet and presided over by our own State Rep. Aaron Bean. Items donated included photographs by Mili Ryan, prints by Char Bachman, CDs by Tom King and the Royal Chicagoans, theater/dinner packages for Brett's Waterway Cafe, Cafe Karibo, and Baxter's, with tickets for ACT's summer play and two tickets for the tennis finals at the Bausch and Lomb Tennis Tournament, compliments of Octagon Sports. All of this would have been nothing without the over 200 members of our community that came out to celebrate this occasion with us. Thank you all! According to all the comments I have received, I believe everyone feels this should be an annual event, so get ready ... we may have a song running through ACT for years.to come.

Box 766, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035 Battle against growth never ends n the field of sports, there's an old saying, "You win some, you lose some and some get rained out, but you gotta suit-up for all of them." In other words, you're never going to win if you don't bother to show up. Some in our community have discovered that same philosophy can be used against local developers who seem intent on cover- ing every square foot of vacant land in Nassau County. In previous columns I have lamented the effect uncontrolled development is having on our commu- nity, along with the fact that most residents are apa- thetic and either unable or unwilling to "get involved" in opposing unbridled development It now occurs to me that if I fail to offer readers at least some examples of successful strategies in this ongoing battle, I can hardly blame people for not stepping forward to participate. In reality, clear-cut are rare in this arena, but there are some bright spots that deserve to be shared. In 2004, one of the island's S'"' major developers set his sights on developing 8.17 acres near Amelia Road and the Amelia Island Parkway, an area that had been zoned open-rural before it was annexed into the city of Fernandina Beach. This Mike Boyle parcel was originally intended .*-. ...- to have a combination of town- WAIT A homes and single-family homes that totaled 32 dwellings. 1MINUTE However, in addition to those 32 units, a colleague of the developer tried to obtain city approval to build another 12-townhome development called Delmar Villas just around the corner on an unpaved section of Simmons Road. Both of these proposed develop- ments were in close proximity to the 195-home sub- division called Isle de Mai (originally called Ocean Breeze) which is currently going up between Bailey and Simmons Roads. How this last development came to fruition via a "developer's agreement" orchestrated by the city manager (which allowed it to bypass the normal review by the city's planning board) will be covered another time. However, if you've followed the above chain of events as I've described them, you can begin to understand why residents in that area were getting concerned about the large number of new housing units that were slated to be built in their area. All of the roads mentioned are two-lane, and most of them are at capacity traffic loads. But what can independ- ent home-owners possibly do against well-funded developers? Meet Pete Procko and Greg Lane, two family men who finally decided it was time to stand up and say, "Enough is enough." They organized their neighbors, and they started attending all of the meet- ings that were required before the city could give the necessary approvals for the construction to begin. Developers count on the fact that the approval process is so cumbersome and time-con- suming that most interested residents will finally throw their hands in the air and simply give up. When this happens, government agencies have only one source of information upon which to make their decisions: the developers. . MIKE BOYLE/FOR THE NEWS-LEADER Nassau County Commissioner Ansley Acree, County Engineer Jos6 Deliz (in hat) and county planner Marshall McCrary discuss a proposed development's effect on an unpaved portion of Simmons Road. The fire engine and a school bus were brought in to demonstrate potential haz- ards. But Procko and Lane didn't give up. On the proj- ect at Amelia Road and the Parkway, they stood toe- to-toe with the developer who wanted to put homes on 50-foot lots. They wanted 100-foot lots which were more compatible with the surrounding homes. The developer sued the city for the smaller size, and the issue went to mediation which resulted in a rec- ommendation for 60-foot lots. Procko and Lane stood their ground. In the end, the developer agreed to 75-foot lots, rather than delay development any longer. Along the way, these two neighbors were instru- mental in showing the planning board that/the Delmar Villas, which was described as a "12-town- home development" on an unpaved portion of Simmons Road, actually consisted of 24 units (not 12), since each "townhome" was actually a duplex (an insight the planning board had not considered). Based on that discovery, the planning board voted last May to oppose approval of Delmar Villas. Mark one down for the "good guys." But as most of us have learned, the issue of devel- opment needs to be viewed as a "war," and not a sin- gle "battle." And the challenges facing Procko and Lane are a perfect example of this strategy. Just as the dust was beginning to settle around the scuttled Delmar Villas project, the developer has come back and requested approval to build 10 single- family homes on the same three acres that are only served by an unpaved section of Simmons Road. There are several problems with this new approach, not the least of which is that the current road is only 30 feet wide, and the minimum width requirement for county roads is 60 feet. In addition to the 60-foot requirement, flp, lorid epartent of ciii-. ; .. U-- i ; i i *;~ !i ) . Transportation recommends that such roads should have an additional 3-foot-wide clear zone ("the area outside the traveled way, available for use by errant vehicles") in addition to curbs angd sidewalks. The problem is, there is insufficient land available on the sides of this portion of Simmons Road to comply with these requirements. To make these points crystal clear, Procko and Lane invited the developer, along with county com- missioners, the county engineer and county plan- ners, to personally view the intersection that would handle the anticipated traffic from the new develop- ment When everyone arrived, they were greeted with a large fire engine with flashing red lights parked on the unpaved section of Simmons, and a large school bus parked on the shoulder of Amelia Road. The purpose was to show that the existing road was inadequate to handle vehicles of this size, and the demonstration was successful. Commissioners Ansley Acree and Tom Branan (who visited the site separately so as to avoid a Sunshine Law violation) both appeared to under- stand the dangers of introducing increased traffic to a substandard road, but the county engineer and planning director seemed to believe a variance could be given if the developer could show a "hardship." Apparently it becomes a "hardship" when a develop- er buys land that has never had more than two hous- es on it, and he now wants to replace those two houses with 10. That's not a hardship, that's greed. Hang in there Pete Procko and Greg Lane; you're an inspiration for the rest of us. Mike Boyle, an Amelia Island resident, spent 27 years as an FBI agent.

Then just as soon as it was upon us, it seemed to have miraculous- ly disappeared. My cousin, who worked on a tugboat, told me that numerous oil tankers were anchored off shore during the crisis, full of product waiting to be deliv- ered. Even as a teenager, it didn't elude me that this was a deliberate decision on the part of the oil industry to pinch the supply, so that demand cou- pled with that lack of supply, would boost price. As expected, the prices soared, the "crisis" abated and we all went back to driving like we did before - except that we were then paying twice as much as before. I look back now, and laugh at a ridiculous state- ment I made then. I remember saying (as gasoline crept higher and higher to the unthinkable price of a dollar a gallon), "I'm going to stop driving if gas gets over a dollar per gallon!" Li' Lttle did I know. b I" Recently, as I watched the gas pump price rise ever so A: swiftly past $2 a gallon, I thought, if only fleetingly, that maybe two dollars would be the limit. Stupid me. I just saw that *-- in some places, gasoline is actu- S ally at $3 a gallon (and this was not in Europe or elsewhere). Coleman Do you also remember when the speed limit was 55 Langshaw mph nationally? Yeah, I hated it *... -- too, but it did save gas and S lives. Eventually the speed limit OPINIONS was increased, not to save gas FROM THE or lives of course, but to GOLDFISH increase consumption and demand. I wonder who was behind all of that? A real mind-boggler, huh? I also remember that during this time, diesel engines became very popular, because the price of diesel was so much cheaper, and the miles per gal- lon were so much better. Today, however, there's no real difference in price between gas and diesel, although diesel efficiency is still somewhat better. So I wonder why the price of diesel has risen so much, and for that matter, the price of gasoline? There isn't an "energy crisis," so that can't be the reason. Maybe it's just because the oil companies can just do it. They don't have to blame OPEC, or have some other reason; they just seem to have raised price just because the can. Oh but I know, the oil companies will tell you that the increase is because we have too few refiner- ies, and the evil environmentalists won't let them build new ones in unsuitable places. And I am sure they will tell all of us that they are limited in their ability to pump domestic crude because we care more about the environment than the national econ- omy. And, of course, they will bemoan that they can- not control the price of crude from overseas. Yeah, that all makes so much sense, but some- how they keep making more and more money. It's also funny though, that in spite of the supposed 'lack of control" over the resource, they were able to pinch the supply before to squeeze us, the con- sumers so they certainly could, do it again, reduc- ing demand in order to squeeze the exporters into keeping their prices under control. But that would- n't be worth it, unless of course, they still kept charging us the same high prices at the pump and made an even bigger profit. After all, it's not what's good for America; it's what's good for the bottom line. . In my opinion, the supply control issue is a red herring, and the industry has played it like a virtu- oso would a concert violin. So while they hold us hostage to their econo-ter- rorist tactics, they just keep raising prices, making a gazillion dollars at the consumers' expense until finally we will cry "uncle" and let them drill in the Arctic and the Gulf of Mexico without a care. Of course when this happens, they will certainly pro- vide us all, this wonderful product at a reduced price. Yeah right when pigs grow wings! No, they will just keep making more money, with the bounty that they extorted from the people, all in the name of making an honest and reasonable profit. To me, the monopolistic stranglehold that the oil industry has over America is outrageous, and the price gouging is treasonous. Why treasonous you ask? Because price gouging is no different at that large-scale level, than counter- feiting, which has been considered a treasonous crime. Counterfeiting was considered treasonous, because it could destabilize the economy and ruin our nation. So it really is not much of a stretch from making bogus green backs, to monopolistically controlling one of the most important resources in the world, and excessively profiteering at the expense of our economy. I think it is fair to say, that the "energy crisis" of the 1970's and the energy-cost crisis of the 2000's are both manipulated events that did, and are, plac- ing our national economy in a very treacherous position. Let's face it, Big Oil will not stop bleeding us, unless we as a nation do something about it. Our government needs to spend more time worrying about issues that affect all of us, like controlling Big Oil, as opposed to the president and Congress wast- ing time and money, interfering in personal matters like marriage and individual's values. But, our government's priorities are set like they are these days, for a reason: A Because as long as we have an Administration and an equally culpable Congress, built upon the fortunes and the future of Big Oil, we have a snow- ball's chance in Hell of seeing our real and present crisis being resolved anytime scon.

PAGE 8A FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2005 NEWS-LEADER/FERNANDINA BEACH, FL Couple celebrates 50 years together The blessings of the Lord are here. Can't you feel it in the atmosphere? The blessings of the Lord are here. We continue to thank him for goodness toward us. A packed house of family and longtime friends were on hand to help Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Rhodes celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. On March 27, 1955, they were married and on March 27, God blessed them to celebrate 50 years of dedication to each other and their family. A beautiful reaffirmation service was given and beautiful it was. Of course, Deacon Rhodes was doing his usual thing, waiting for the service to begin, greeting and shaking hands with others. The bride was escorted by their son, William Jefferson; her sister, Ellen Green, maid of honor; their son, Daniel Rhodes Jr., best man; flower girls Da'Lon Green, granddaughter, Jazmyn Simmons, niece; ushers Marc Blount, Ryan Nobles, Daniel C. Rhodes, grandsons, and John (Pete) Simmons, nephew. Their daughter, Laura D. Nobles, granddaughter Terranaye Rhodes and cousin Gloria Thomas were hostesses. There were many special things and moments shared with and by this very special couple. Just a few highlights: The children brought to the cer- emony the very same black and white shoes the groom wore when he got married in '55, and a suit coat he wore when the children were little and going to Sunday school. They should fit right into fjs-Ihuin .I ,,iJa A very touching lighting of the memorial candle, remem- bering their deceased daughter and sister, Gloria. Six burning candles represented those liv- ing and, of course, one was not, representing someone very dear, gone but never to be for- gotten. Everyone remembers that great smile and the love she shared. Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes thank God for his grace and mercy. They are not counting their days, just giving God the praise and honor, for he was the cohe- siveness that kept them togeth- er. Help comes in several differ- ent ways. Always pray first, then work and other ,ways comes A from God. It de- manded in Maybelle our home Kirkland that our children respect eld- NOW erly people AND THEN and that 277-3285 they go to school, get an education. They were always helped in any way they needed, for they were a gift from God. Our children were our responsi- bility so we gave them our best. My wife used to be sugar; now she is honey. I thank God for her.. Some thought I wouldn't make it, but I'm here to say, through it, all God brought us through. Many traveled from far and near to make this happy occa- sion. Most participated in the ceremony. Kelvin Rhodes Jr:, Isaac Washington, the Rev. James Payne, Ralph Washington, their son, from O'Fallon, Ill., Benjamin Bryan, nephew, from Savannah, Ga., Victor Washington, Shawnda Nobles, the Rev. Wayne Rogers, nephew, from Brunswick, Ga.,' Kelvin T. Rhodes Sr., son, Lauren Rhodes, Luella Rhodes and Lydia Washington. Special thanks to their chil- dren for this grand occasion, for allowing God to use them, and the Rev.,;Wayne Rogers, musi- ;,i. P. R T,:rry III, decorations, Cynthia Roberts (Pam) cake servers, Nancy Johnson and Deidre Johnson. Thanks to our friends, neighbors and relatives so dear, for your congratula- tions and presence.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8,2005/News-Leader RELIGION House of God is built on prayer, soul by soul In Sienna Italy, our recent tour group stood in amazement for several minutes, trying to absorb the sheer majesty of the cathedral. It takes that long just to allow your eyes to go up and down what seems to be acres and acres of white and black mar- ble laid in a breath-taking pattern. Given time to explore I walked the length and width of the cathe- dral: enjoying the art, the majesty and the opportunity for personal meditation. Wanting to conclude our visit by stopping by the cathe- dral bookstore, I started racing back diagonally across the nave. But I never made it. Something caught my eye near the western end of the Cathedral. Three or four feet above the floor stood a very bright lamp and underneath it was a man on his knees. I made my way toward him to resolve my curiosity. He was a stone mason working on the marble floor. I thought it interesting in this most significant and majestic house of worship built over 800' NewTestament tour Cabins are available on board the sailing ship Sea Cloud for a trip in the Aegean Sea to New Testament sites in Greece and Turkey. Ted Schroder, pastor of Amelia Island Plantation Chapel, will host 65 passengers May 29- June 12. For more information call 277-4414 or visit the website at www.firstcenturyvoyages.com. Hope House Conference The Ninth Annual Hope House Conference continues at 7 p.m. tonight and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 9 at Hope House, corner of Date and Ninth streets in Fernandina Beach. Women's conference The Women's Ministry of Greater Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church of Callahan will hold a Women's Conference beginning at 7 p.m. tonight. Tomekia Williams will be the speaker.

Olive Baptist Church of Jasper as guest speaker. Patricia Herring I .. i years ago, that a stone mason still S.. n kneeled with ^,a* simple chisel and hammer to refurbish the marble floor. Centuries Conrad have come Sharps and gone, arps and yet his, labors PULPIT resembled NOTES that of those who first" built the church. I stood and watched him for several minutes, mesmerized by his patience and commitment to detail. But what really struck me was his posture. He went from kneeling on two knees, to kneel- ing on his knees and elbows sev- eral times: matching color, meas- uring, cutting and cementing small pieces of stone into place. Not only did his posture resem- ble that of prayer, his resolution and commitment seemed to me to be a prayer enacted. Indeed, this is how the house of God is built It is built on our knees in prayer: piece by piece, soul by soul, chiseled and inte- grated with discernment and love into what no human hand can accomplish without the help of God. We are to invest our lives, our efforts, our resources, and our leadership in the creation of a church that has no walls, eternal in God's kingdom. Our work however, must be done with great humility and dis- cernment, as if on our hands and knees before God in prayer. Our work in its truest spiritual form should be that of prayer enacted; as the Psalmist writes: "Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.." (Psalm 95:6) What is of everlasting value can only be identified through prayerful discernment. It is not our knowledge, or wisdom, or grand vision but only the Spirit of God that reveals truth. If we desire the Kingdom, then it is the King we must seek. Again, the Psalmist writes: "Hear my voice when I call, 0 Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, 'Seek his face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek." (Psalm 27:7-8) My friends, what do you seek to build this day? Do you seek to deepen your faith, build a Christian home, church or com- munity? Whatever the extent of the project, be it an altar known only to you and God or a cathe- dral of mammoth proportion, remember to stay grounded through prayer. Our primary investment must be to humble ourselves before God through prayer, seek first his face, and then withhold nothing from our labors. Centuries may have come and gone, but this is still how the Church of Jesus Christ, and the Kingdom it represents, is built: from our knees in prayer. The Rev. Conrad C. Sharps is pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Fernandina Beach. CHURCH NOTES and Chanae Parrish will be guest soloists.

Amelia Presbyterian welcomes new pastor Amelia Presbyterian Church officially installed Jerry Klemm as its new pastor on Sunday evening. The church has been without a pastor since John McNicoll retired from full-time ministry in January and moved to South Carolina to be near fam- ily and pursue a part-time min- istry position. Due to his oldest son's health problems, in 1997, Klemm left his job as a pastor to pursue a career in the computer industry a job that offered more stable health insurance. However, his original career choice of ministry was always in his heart Although he was not able to serve as a full-time pastor during that time, he served as a ruling elder and Sunday school teacher at Pinewood Presbyterian in Orange Park. "I've missed being a pastor so much," Klemm said. "Now that my son's health has stabilized, I can pursue it again. Outside of my family, my greatest pleasure in life is teaching God's word and min- istering to His people." Born and raised in Jacksonville, Klemm received his degree from Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary. Throughout his 19-year career, he has served .-g 'as a pastor in S Georgia and Florida and as an associate pas- Klemm tor in Mississippi. Klemm cur- rently lives in Orange Park with his wife, Katherine, and his two sons, 12-year-old Jerry and 6-year- old Jakob. They plan to move to Nassau County upon the sale of their home. Amelia Presbyterian Church, located at 4209 East SR 200 in Fernandina Beach, is a mission congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) through the North Florida Presbytery. The church holds weekly worship services at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays and 7 p.m. on Wednesday. The church also offers Sunday school and activities throughout the week.

Myths abound about ground water, which often makes it seem mysterious. What follows are answers to several of the most popular ground water questions as well as tips on protecting this drink- ing water source, which helps sup- ply 47 percent of the U.S. popula- tion. What is ground water and where does it come from? Ground water is the water that fills cracks, voids and other open- ings in beds of rocks, sand and soil. Each drop of rain that soaks into the soil moves downward, fills available space and forms a large subsurface storage of water that interacts with any substance that comes in contact with it. Many people believe that ground water comes from rapidly moving underground rivers and lakes. However, that is not true. What is the relationship of ground water to surface water?

CREEKSIDE Homes from the 200's 904-491-9983 Directions- A1A to Chester Rod Ictn ,:.n P...:- BlnB P.:,.:l i.: SEDA Consiruclion Compan Many streams and lakes are "windows" to the Earth's water table. In large part, a stream rep- resents water that has moved from the ground into the stream chan- nel. Most ground water flows directly into streams, rivers and lakes through streambeds or the bottom of lakes. On occasion, ground water emerges out of an aquifer at a land surface, which makes a spring. Is ground water plentiful? It certainly is. About 98 percent of the available fresh water on Earth is ground water. Every day, the United States uses about 83.3 billion gallons of this water for a variety of purposes. The amount of ground water storage dwarfs the present surface water'supply. At any given moment, it is 20 to 30 times greater than the amount of water in all the lakes, streams and rivers of the United States combined. Are there things that citizens can do to protect ground water? Without a doubt Unfortunately some people think since ground water is underground there is noth- ing they can do to help ensure its quality, or they think only federal, state and local agencies can deter- mine protection. However, every- one can protect water quality to some degree. What is the best thing a well owner can do to protect ground water? The first step and the best one is for well owners to regularly monitor the water quality within their own wells. In fact, it is rec- ommended that well owners have their wells checked at least once a year for bacteria or other unwant- ed constituents. Devices such as water softeners, reverse-osmosis systems and ion-exchange systems can be used to treat the water for in-home applications. To reduce the possibility of nitrates in ground water, well own- ers should have their septic tank cleaned and serviced every two years. This eliminates the oppor- tunity for waste backing up and unwanted materials leaching into the soil.

C:,," h .i 1 ,- 1 .- l I , ground water quality? Everyone, including people who are not well owners, can aid in curbing non-point source pollution, which causes the majority of ground water contamination. Non- point source pollution includes runoff of pesticides and herbicides, soil erosion, and street runoff. The best practice to combat non-point source pollution is com- mon sense. When mixing toxic chemicals such as motor oil, antifreeze or fertilizers, do so with extreme caution. Avoid spilling the chemicals on the ground because they can penetrate the soil and enter the ground water system. The best place to mix chemicals is on cement to avoid ground water infiltration or runoff into surface water caused by accidental spills. Also, when working with chem- icals, read the directions and never go above the recommended mix- ing ratio or over-apply chemicals to gardens and fields. Where can I get more infor- mation? For more information on your private water well, contact your local water well contractor. Also, visit the National Ground Water Association website just for well owners, www.wellowner.org.

APRIL 8,2005/News-Leader Shamrock to some is a weed to others Q. I am not sure what I have .in my lawn, but it is taking over and nothing is helping to get rid of it. The leaves are simi- lar to clover. It has a root that looks like a white radish and blooms are purple. I pull all I can each year, but it is more than I can handle now. I live in Fernandina Beach. Hope you can help. DW A .The weed you have is in :.the family oxalis, which if placed in a pot is often called Ahamrock. The flowers may be white, purple or yellow. The petals often resemble clover, which causes people to confuse this plant with a common vari- ety of clover. This particular lawn weed is difficult to control because it is classified as a perennial. Unlike annual weeds, which only reproduce by seed, perennials can reproduce by seed and vegetatively using other parts of the plant like the root, stolen or leaf. Pulling -weeds by hand, which is my favorite pastime, often is unsuc- cessful with perennials because of their ability to reproduce in a variety of methods. Any portion of the weed left in the ground can produce a new plant, hence the reason why some weeds - seem to be so stubborn and con- tinue to return year after year. You will need to be persistent with this weed and consider using a weed killer for broadleaf weeds but be sure the product can be used on your type of grass. In addition, you should spot treat only the areas where the weeds exist, avoid spreading the product over the whole lawn: One other thing to consid- er is why weeds are coming up in your lawn. Healthy turfgrass should allow few weeds the opportunity to grow. If your turf- grass is St Augustine remem- ber to water it once every 5-7 days in the summer and once every 10-14 days in the winter. Water the lawn in the morning hours between 6-10 a.m. Use a fertilizer product similar to 15-0- 15.

Mow the lawn at the highest height. Fertilize in Becky March and Jordi August or S September. Avoid Garden using weed Talk and feed products. Use an iron sulfate product that contains only small amounts of nitrogen during the summer. .What is causing all the ,webbing in the trees along the roadsides? Are they danger- ous? SD A sThe webbing is caused by .the eastern tent caterpillar, Malacosoma americanum. Although this caterpillar is a pest native to North America it is not dangerous. Populations fluctuate from year to year, with outbreaks occurring every sev- eral years. Defoliation of trees, building of unsightly silken nests in trees, and wandering caterpillars crawling over plants, walkways and roads cause this insect to be a pest in the late spring and early summer. Eastern tent caterpillar nests are commonly found on wild cherry, apple and crabapple, but may be found on hawthorn, maple, cherry, peach, pearand plum as well. While tent cater- pillars can nearly defoliate a tree when numerous, the tree will usually recover and put out a new crop of leaves. o Removal and destruction of the egg masses from ornamen- tals and fruit trees during winter greatly reduces the problem next spring.

They want to combine them, and then give half of them to Slater. How many apples will Slater receive? Even as a little kid, I knew the answer to this one: Who cares? Let Slater buy his own apples. My dad, bless his heart, is a structural engineer, and he and his math skills have provided for his family quite nicely, thank you. Long before computers and CADs, my dad used yellow paper, a graphite holder and a pearl eraser to compute and draft the exact dimensions of bridges and the steel skeletons of buildings. Years later, he worked at home, and I discovered that he was a mumbler. He'd converted the garage into a drawing room (liter- ally), and would stand out there and figure and mumble and draw and mumble all day long. Our big red Persian cat was his constant companion, and every once in a while she would make her own raspy contribution to the process. But no matter how hard he tried all of these years, he's never understood how and why his only chick could be so baffled by num- bers. Numbers, I learned at a very early age, are not our friends. My parents conspired with my teach- ers to disabuse me of this preju- dice, but to no avail. Numbers are the reason I dislike oatmeal to this day. My teacher would assign me extra arithmetic homework, and my dad would help me with it, but only after all of my other work was completed. (Oh, yippee; what an A incentive to S;'. "finish early!) ;^f I found multiplication tables espe- cially baf- Cara Curtin fling, and Dad would put me CITY through mul- SIDEBAR tiplication 261-5845 drills until my eyes glazed over. Over our bowls of oatmeal the next morning, he'd ask me how much nine times seven was, and would get no response. He'd final- ly look over at me, and my tears would be dripping into my oat- meal. Poor little kid; I'd forgotten everything he'd drilled me on the night before. I still don't know my ninezies; that's why we invented calculators. If my calculator dies, I will have to close my shop so I can go buy a new one. I inherited my math skills or a lack thereof from the maternal side of the house. Mom would periodically call Dad while he was at work to ask what one half of 2/3 of a cup was. She was obvi- ously halving a recipe for dinner, and had not yet discovered the secret I unearthed years later, when I started messing up my own kitchen. One simply fixes the recipe as directed, and then freezes the leftovers in meal-size portions. Just be sure you really like Tuna Surprise before you fix it, because the six that the "serves six" at the bottom of the recipe refers to clearly means six Jaguar linebackers after a hard day of practice. Having more or less mastered grammar school arithmetic, I was deemed ready to enter the won- derful world of mathematics. Good thing I wasn't given a vote; if I'd had my way, I'd still be bliss- fully unaware of the very exis- tence never mind the purpose - of quadratic equations. Now that I am all grown up, I have relegated them to the same rubbish bin in which I stuffed those pluperfect endings for all of those Latin verbs. To this day, I contend that algebra is an exercise in self- abuse; never once have I had the necessity as an adult to know what X squared plus Y squared is equal to. There are no Xs or Ys on my bank statement, and, come to think of it, there aren't any in my cookbooks, either. Since it's tax time, I should point out that the Feds don't ask for X amount - they merely want it all. Algebra gives letters a bad name; X and Y should sue for damages. But God is not totally unkind to those of us who are numerical- ly challenged. While I love words and roll them around my tongue like aged beef or brandy, my father doesn't know alliteration from apples. Speaking of apples, I wonder if Slater would give me half of his half of the apples that Jill and Donna gave him. Just how many apples is that? I witnessed a true-life drama. It was a tennis match. Not just any tennis match a first-round match at the annual Bausch & Lomb tennis tournament. The stage was set. Center court on a clear sunny spring day at the tree-shaded Amelia Island Plantation Racquet Park. Joining friends, I took my seat and wait- ed for the performers. The first, a young ingenue svelte, muscu- lar but feminine a neatly plaited blond braid hanging down her back. The second, a seasoned veteran of this arena- dark, Spanish, all business she had been on this stage before. Curtain up the background music was simple. A regular rhythm of the ball hitting the clay courts that served as center stage. The two talents traded shots, points and games. At the end of the first act the ingenue had lost in a tiebreaker the ultimate dra- matic moment when a match is dead even and is decided by sin- gle points, not games. High drama indeed. Open second act. Will the young ingenue rise to the occa- sion and match and overcome the talent of her more seasoned opponent? Or will the veteran set- tle in, using all her experience and accumulated skill and come up with just that little bit more tb be the star? The crowd watched as the hard-hit balls traveled back and forth and the players ran trying to return a seemingly impossible ma'n shot for yet another chance at a winner. SThe crowd held their collective breaths as the most artful shot of all, the much cov- DickieAnderson eted, drop - ... --- shot was executed. FROM THE It has to PORCH have just the right spin and be directed to just the right spot on the court. Will the player reach the ball and if they do can they direct their return to a spot on their opponent's court that will not be returned? Yes, all the performers were there, including the ingenue's mother and her coaches. They watched as she won well-hit points and made the inevitable mistakes of the young. The moth- er would encourage, almost to herself, as she watched her young and talented daughter struggle. I watched as the drama played out Act two ended badly for the ingenue. The points became pre- dictable as the experienced part- ner found vulnerability and con- tinued to go to it winning point after point Curtain down, match over. The ingenue, deep in her own thoughts, left the court. She was already imagining her next match and what she would have to do to survive. She would be back. Those that watched that day had no doubt The seasoned veteran? She got past one and would play another match and maybe win, but her future was less optimistic. She could only come back so many times and face the constant flow of younger, stronger competitors. The audience got its money's worth. The drama was high, the talent undisputed, April is National Library Month. Join Dickie Anderson on April 14 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fernandina Beach Library.

I was born outside of Chapel Hill, and graduated from the University of North Carolina. I was there during the Michael Jordan era, when we then lost him to the NBA after his junior year. Carolina has had several such losses to early NBA departure, such as Antawn Jamison, Vince Carter, Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace. Now on the "heels" of an NCAA championship, it appears that Carolina is like- ly to lose four of their five underclassman starters to the NBA. Freshman Marvin Williams is considered a top three pick, junior Sean May a top10, and juniors Rashaad McCants and Raymond Felton are likely first-round selections. Carolina's other starter is a graduating senior and also likely to play in the NBA. So just like that, the entire starting five is gone to the pros and, in my opinion, everyone in basketball from the fan to the player to the university to the NBA that loses out in these situations. Many sports fans I know have lost complete interest in the NBA. Too often you simply don't know who the players are because they haven't hung around college long enough for you to get to know them. Another situation becom- ing all too common is players jumping straight from high school into the professional ranks. Sometimes the player is ready, as evidenced by superstar LeBron James. More commonly, though, the player i: n.ri., a:i evidenc-d by Kwame Brown, one of many "NBA high schoolers" who turn out to be an unpre- pared, underdeveloped bust. Brown came out of Glynn Academy in Brunswick in 2001 and was drafted as the first overall pick by the Washington Wizards. Now, three years into his pro career, the Wizards appear ready to give up on him. Retrospectively, wouldn't have Brown looked great in a Bulldog or Gator jersey while honing his game for the Wizards? Heck, even having LeBron in a Duke jer- sey would have been good for everyone involved. However, it's only natural that players want to get the money as soon as possible. For the good of the game, the NCAA and the NBA need to revamp the system to allow the game's premier athletes to start getting some of their money upfront to keep them from jumping ship to get it. I would pro- pose some changes that would allow the athlete to say, "I am declaring myself eligible for the draft, but I am staying in college." That way, a player could get the money now because he and his family may need it, but he also is allowed to develop as a player and a person by staying at the college level. The prospective NBA teams would have the option of drafting this player and paying him now despite the fact that they won't get him for a year. If the player is a "can't miss," then the respec- tive NBA team would then likely be willing to go ahead and grab him through the draft while waiting for him to finish out his university com- mitment. Onemay worry that the NBA teams could lock everyone up into a con- tract, but this is not likely to happen and provisions could be set up to ensure that the NCAA is not seen as some- thing more than a farm sys- tem for the NBA. One of the most popular players in the NBA is Grant Hill, who was, without a doubt, ready to turn pro after his junior year at Duke. However, he fully under- stood that the money would be there in the long run and chose to stay at Duke for his senior year. Widely respect- SMITH Continued on 16A NASSAU SPORTS 14A FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 2005 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FLO'RIDA McKenzie wins East Coast title, qualifies for national BETH JONES News-Leader He's been surfing 13 years but his win on Sunday was his biggest. Brady McKenzie of Yulee, who turns 18 Saturday, took first place in the open men's division (ages 16-25) in the National Scholas- tic Surfing Association East Coast Cham- pionships in Sebastian Inlet. "I've never placed in it before," he said. "It was my biggest win ever." McKenzie said the competition was "pret- ty fierce." He had to survive four rounds and the top six qualified for the final. In the final 30-minute heat, McKenzie said judges scored each surfer's best two waves on a scale from 1-10 and the scores were announced while the surfers were still in the water. "After 25 minutes, I was pretty much too far ahead for anyone to catch up," he said. '"The second-place person needed a 9.1 to pass me." McKenzie garnered scores of 7.6 and 7.2 for his best two rides. McKenzie competed in the six qualifying events, held in New Smyrna since last October, to earn a spot in the March 31- April 3 contest. He won three and placed in the top three in two others to earn a spot to vie for the East Coast title. The top 12 finishers at Sebastian Inlet qualify for the national contest, which will be held in California in June. "It gets my name out there for people to recognize," McKenzie said. The win will also please his sponsors, which include Quiksilver, Reef, Smith sun- glasses, Gorilla Grip, Town & Country surf- boards, FCS and Driftwood Surf Shop. His trip to the national contest will be his fourth in a row. McKenzie placed sixth three years ago in his first outing. "I haven't placed since that first year," McKenzie said. The competition is even stiffer at the next level, McKenzie said. With three divi- sions on the East Coast alone, there will be around 100 surfers in his division. In the meantime, McKenzie will hone his skills in the water to prepare for the national contest. He plans to attend college this fall and major in business. It should come as no sur- prise McKenzie wants to pursue a career in the surfing industry.

Capt. Benny Hendrix of the Miss Melba charter boat company has guided his guests to 26 black drum so far during the month of April. "We are having one of our best seasons for black drum," he said. "About half the drum that we are land- ing are tak- ing half of a fresh blue crab while the rest are biting large fresh Terry Lacoss shrimp. ... "Just the other day I ON THE had a cus- WATER tomer hook a fairly large drum with a 20-pound whiting rod. The line soon broke and I quickly grabbed the parted fishing line. I tried desperately to tie the broken lines back together when the big drum finally had his way and pulled the fishing line from my hands!" Other species of saltwater game fish have also shown up at the entrance of the St. Marys jetty rocks, including shovelnose sharks, red drum, whiting and blues. Local fishermen have cobia on their mind with recent warm weather trends. Normally hard- fighting cobia will begin to show up on the offshore wrecks, big ledges and the St. Marys ship- ping channel during the middle TERRY LACOSS/SPECIAL Boats anchoring at the southern tip of the St. Marys jetty rocks are catching black drum, redfish, whiting, sharks and much more. of April.

Excellent sea bass catches have been coming from FA reef dur- ing the past few days from area fishing charter boats. Red bass fishing has been slow in the backwaters with a few spotted sea trout taking top- water plugs during the flood tide. Flood tide Saturday will arrive at 9:27 a.m. with a low tide at 3:36 p.m. Largemouth bass fishing has been anything short of phenom- enal in Lofton Creek. "We are having one of our best spawning seasons," Capt. Richard Sheets said. "My bass charters have been catching a lot of three to five pound bass while using live shiners. I guid- ed Michael Scaturro to several nice bass to six pounds this week and had one huge bass right up to the boat before the live bait hook unfortunately pulled free!" Gulf Stream fishing has been hot and cold with a few good catches of wahoo and dolphin coming to the docks. The News-Leader encourages local anglers to submit photo- graphs of exceptional catches.

What he found was an incredible . blurring of racial boundaries: a black brother who could pass himself off as a white DJ for a country music radio station in Missouri, a white nephew who held his own in a starring role in an all-black production of "The Wiz," and even more interracial adoptions and marriages.. In the 1979 comedy '"The Jerk," Steve Martin played S the role of a poor black sharecropper's son who never dreamed he was adopted, It was quite the comic Walker premise family ties so strong that a white-skinned child didn't realize he wasn't black. What happens in real life, though, is quite another story. Racial differ- ences in the Civil Rights era were no laughing matter especially in the South. Stereotypes were quick to evolve from the tension and animosity. Though inter-racial marriage might have pushed the limits, it was not uncommon for close relationships to have developed between whites and blacks. Singer/songwriter Tricia Walker is a perfect example.

The 0 doom ,wom WALKER Continued from lB Rights era to have had close friendships with people of color. When Tricia was a child, she was loved and nurtured, as was her mother before her, by "Dixie," originally her grandmother's companion and by now a long- time friend of the family. The color of their skin might have been different, but real love was indeed color-blind. Tricia left Mississippi to pur- sue her music career, but was drawn back time and again with hopes of rediscovering the kind- ness and compassion she once knew. The characterization of white Southerners as redneck racists pained her deeply. Like every good songwriter who car- ries a tattered notebook to cap- ture the moment inspiration strikes, Tricia spent years jotting down her thoughts and feelings. The result is her latest'CD, "The Heart of Dixie", a collection of songs that reflect her roots and deepest feelings about the South she knows and loves. "Every time I sing the song," says Tricia, "people come up to me and start telling me about their 'Dixie.' In my opinion, this American issue of race will never go away ... it needs to continually be discussed. Culture is a pre- cious, living thing. It has to be nurtured if ifs going to survive. Any artist or creative thinker has a responsibility to help chronicle his or her own time, place and people. That's the surest way to keep a culture from disappear- ing." With more dialog, interaction, and understanding,, perhaps the day will come when the only color we see is the color of love. UNF Jazz Ensemble 1 also per- forms.
