The state impounded city police cars, apparently to check for DNA and other evidence of a crime involving the girl, who was 14 at the time. No charges have been filed, and both the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and city police have declined comment on details of the investigation, which began late last year. A Jacksonville lawyer has been hired to represent two of the offi- cers. Eric Block said he has been a 17-year-old girl in a separate mat- ter. According to Block, the state investigation stems from an accu- sation made by the former member of the police explorers program, which was disbanded two years ago.

NEWS-LEADEP BENJAMIN PRICE/NEWS-LEADER A sinkhole about four feet wide by four feet long threatened sewer services on the island's south end. News-Leader A sinkhole discovered near the county's largest sewer lift station on Amelia Island has been declared an "emergency situation," and county personnel are working around the clock to prevent a spill or disruption of sewer service to 1,500 customers. Nassau-Amelia Utilities Director Doug Hewett said the hole was dis- covered near the lift station off Amelia Island Parkway Thursday afternoon by a county landscaper who was cutting grass. The hole BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader Nassau County Commission- ers approved Monday night ask- ing the state Department of Community Affairs to consider a comprehensive plan amendment that would allow a 240-apartment complex on Chester Road in Yulee. The county planning and zon- ing board voted earlier this month to deny submitting a request to the state, but the county com- mission voted to make the request anyway. CountyAttorney Mike Mullin stressed that the request for a Department of Community County say Simmons I BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader A second attempt to develop three acres on Simmons Road was unanimously denied by the Nassau County Commission Monday, in the latest round of battles between the property's developers and its neighbors. After almost an hour of dis- cussion, the commission voted to uphold a previous decision by the planning and zoning board, which denied a request to rezone the 3.6 acres on Simmons Road from "open rural" to "residential, single family 2 (RS-2)." The request was made by property owner Susan Bridwell and engineer Nick Gillette, who proposed a 10-lot subdivision with cul-de-sac that would be accessi- ble from the north side of Simmons Road, which is a dirt road at that point west of 14th Street. Much of the debate over the feet, and Hewett said it was imme- diately declared an emergency. The county commission held a special meeting at I1 a.m. Friday to address "emergency sewer repairs."

Bridwell said the road improvements would enhance the community and give local resi- dents more than just a "dead end road."

The program was founded as a way for young people to learn about careers in law enforcement. According to police Capt. James Thompson, the program had approximately 10 members, boys and girls, from ages 14 to 18. Branning denied the allega- tions and says he believes the investigation was instigated by someone within the police depart- ment. "(Soineone's) got some kind of personal vendetta against me," Branning said. Branning returned in February from Iraq, where he trained Iraqi police officers for a year. When he left for Iraq, he was a FBPD officer. When he returned from Iraq in February, Branmng said he was told he no longer had a job with Fernandina Beach Police. Branning declined' further comment. Duffy could not be reached for comment. "It's real frustrating. I'm not happy about it," Haskins said, proclaiming his innocence. He declined further comment. "I have been hired to pursue what rights they have .. we're investigating potential civil rights remedies," Block said. "... They don't need defending. This girl has gone back and forth, she's been arrested before ... there's no probable cause here." At least one of the officers has been DNA-tested for the investi- gation, Block said, and police vehi- cles were impounded. Block said at least one of those vehicles has been returned. The investigation has been ongoing for at least six months, Block said. "It's gone on too long ... and (my clients) are sick of this," he said. "We're in the dark, all we know is that the allegations have been made, they can't ask questions." Fernandina Beach Police Chief "Chip" Hammond was not available for comment this week. Earlier this year, he said, "The investigation we had, we turned over to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. They're han- dling it, and we respect that. It's a complaint we take very seriously." Sharon Gogerty, public infor- mation officer for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, confirmed that Fernandina Beach Police requested the investiga- tion. "At the request of the Fernandina Beach Police Department, we are investigating a matter that they asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate. The investigation was requested by them and it does involve them," she said earlier this year. She declined to be more specific at that time. FDLE declined to comment on its investigation this week. Rosier, a former detective, was sentenced in March to six months probation plus time served for attempting to have sex with a 17- year-old girl. His law enforcement certificate was ordered seized. He also was ordered to pay $370 in court costs, a $500 public defender's lien and perform 25 hours of community service. Charges of sexual battery, involving sex with the teenager's 23-year-old sister, were dismissed. According to court records, the women met Rosier at a local restaurant, where he was off duty working as a bouncer, and invited them to their hotel room, where he had sex with the 23-year-old. Reportedly intoxicated, she then left the hotel room. Police reports indicate she placed a call to 911 at 2:30 a.m., alleging her younger sister was being raped. When police arrived, Rosier and the teen were preparing to engage in sex. Rosier resigned from the department shortly after his arrest. smalcom@fbnewsleaer.com Shrimp festival fun The annual Pirate Parade kicks off the 42nd Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival at 6 p.m. Thursday.

During the shrimp festival weekend the use of "Silly String" type propellants, "poppers" and high-powered water guns is prohibited within the Centre Street business district, per City Ordinance No. 99-03. SEWER Continued from 1A said the cause of the seepage was still unknown, but a 15-inch clay pipe located several feet below the surface was suspected of failure. "If the pipe leaks it can create a void down deep, and when the void gives way it can create a crater, or sinkhole," he said. Mahaney said Friday the coun- ty feels a sense of urgency about the situation because it's essential that the seepage does not contam- inate the Intracoastal Waterway or shut off sewer service to cus- tomers. 'We definitely don't want (the lift station) to fail," Mahaney said. "If it went down we could have sewage seeping up out of the ground, potentially draining into the Intracoastal waters." He expected the work to take more than a week, with utility crews working around the clock over the weekend to drain ground water and prepare the site for the excavation and bypass. Hewett said the county replaced three pumps and made some other .repairs to the 33-year-old facility about two years ago. However, he said there were no improvements made to the pipe, which dates back to the station's construction in 1972. bprice@fbnewsleader com HOMELESS ANIMALS...

SHRIMP Continued from 1A Best-Decorated Shrimp Boat Parade on Sunday at 1 p.m. For 42 years Fernandina Beach has celebrated the birthplace of the commercial shrimping industry and its ongoing contribution to our community with our annual shrimp festival. But these are worrisome times for shrimpers. The prolifer- ation of imported shrimp has cut deeply into the market. Many con- sumers willingly buy the less fla- vorful, pre-frozen imported shrimp because of the lower price. As a result, the price of wild, fresh- caught shrimp has dropped lower than the average price in the 1980's, according to Rowe, while the cost of catching them has spiraled upward. "In a seven-day period of shrimping a boat burns about 1,700 gallons of fuel, and it is safe to say the cost of fuel (diesel) has dou- bl6d in the last two years. Other costs, too, have gone up. I just bought a set of batteries for $1,000. That same set, two years ago, sold for $800. "When I was a kid there were shrimp boats all the way down the docks. It was quite a sight, and shrimping families made a good Lunch Dinner Pastries 4.Catering & Much More Prepared FRESH! *Beer & Wine Also Available* LIVE MUSIC: In The Courtyard Sunday, May 1st 11:00-2:30pm Bring this Coupon: in for a FREE Saki Bloody Mary!

Now, there are only about 17 or 18 boats here." Mother Nature is doing her part to help. This past fall there was an abundance of shrimp, so the shrimpers were busy. "It doesn't pay anymore to go out for 100-200 pounds, as it used to," said Rowe. "Now we need big hauls to make a trip worthwhile. When the moon is full and the tide is high, thafs when the harvest is best Afew boats will go out, and if shrimp are there, the word gets back, and more boats follow," said Rowe. "The main reason we stay in the business is that we love it and have such a good time doing this with our families and shrimping buddies. I'd sure like to see the industry do well, so that more young people could consider it. I had a great childhood down here on the waterfront, and I'd sure like to see that experience passed on to the next generation." awalsh@jfbnewsleader.ecom PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE 1st Public Hearing Notice The City of Femandina Beach is considering applying to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a Small Cities Cormmunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to $650,000. These funds must be used for one of the following purposes: 1. To benefit low and moderate income persons; 2. To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3. To meet other community development needs of recent origin having a particular urgency because exist- ing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs. The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas of housing, neighborhood revi- talization, commercial revitalization, or economic devel- opment and include such improvement activities as acquisition of real property, loans to private-for-profit business, purchase of machinery and equipment, con- struction of Infrastructure, rehabilitation of houses and commercial buildings, and energy conservation.

For each activity that is proposed, at least 70% of the funds must benefit low and moderate income per- sons. In developing an application for submission to DCA, the City of Femandina Beach must plan to minimize dis- placement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activ- ities. In addition, the City of Femandina Beach is required to develop a plan to assist displaced persons.

BUSINESS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27,2005/NEWS-LEADER Amelia Island welcomes celebrities routinely D ebralee Scott lived at her house on Amelia Island with little fan- fare, not expecting or desiring the attention she got as. Rosalie "Hotsy" Totzie in the tele- vision series "Welcome Back, Kotter" of the 1970s. Such is the life of a celebrity, hidden from the cameras and the gaze of people and the limelight once sought. Here on Amelia I Island, we have seen it before. There was Michael Jackson attending church in downtown Fernandina Steve Beach 15 Nicklas years ago, .C -- when he was famous for STEVE'S positive rea- MARK sons. Since PLAE then, Bill Clinton played golf here, Timothy Hutton and Faith Hill have been filmed here and Jerry Seinfeld checked out the fancy cars at the Concours d'Elegance. In many ways, this area is, becoming a popular playground, or at least a trendy hangout, for celebrities. They enjoy the ameni- ties as well as the relaxed atmos- phere. And most of all. like Scott, they can remain relatively anony- mous like us normal folk. It began many years ago, in areas that are a shadow of. -- what they once were. Famous black entertain- Scott ers such as Duke Ellington are said to have frolicked in the natural beauty of American Beach in its heyday. Across the sound at Cumberland Island, the ultra-rich such as the Carnegies came to vacation in elaborate, mansions that dwarfed even those of today. Also, the late John Kennedy Jr. was married in the Cumberland seclusion. The celebrity sightings appear to be more frequent now. Paul McCartney hid out at The Ritz- Carlton, Amelia Island before his Super Bowl gig, Tom Cruise was spotted in several local restau- rants the same week and more than one local eatery has a plaque or picture signed by Donald Trump from a visit here. Others have built houses here, such as Scott These include Mort Crim, the national broadcaster, as well as the one- time'CEO of Global Crossing. a darling of the technology bubble. Within the sports world, Brent NMusberger reportedly owns a house here, as do several of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Oprah Winfrey is rumored to have inter- ests in property on American AgQMUMMAY- ftI .2 lFUE AY- 1FM All You Can Eat Seafood Platter :VALID 5/02/05 2f 2 5 Fried Shrimp NOHAING im Ri COUPONVAUD NO TAKE-OUT or Prime Rib for 2 ONLY 5/03/05 ----------------------o --- --- --- --- --- WD AY5N|1PM THUDAY-5-.P Ribeye Steak : All You Can Eat Dinner Dungeness or Fried Grouper ,:.

During the Bausch & Lomb ten- nis tournament, the premier female players of the world such as Lindsey Davenport and the Williams sisters grace our island. Few knew that Scott lived here. Many knew her as the sul- try tease who tempted the gang of unruly students known as the "sweat hogs" on the hilarious comedy headed by Gabe Kaplan. The series also featured a local favorite, John Travolta. Ironically, Travolta has been filming here the past month or so for a major Hollywood flick fea- turing himself and several other big names. Travolta played "Vinnie Barberino" on the Kotter series, providing him with a start, and a springboard into a huge movie career. Scott played in other roles during her career. She appeared in the TV series "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," as well as movies such as "Police Academy" and "American Graffiti." On a tragic note, her fiance reportedly was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. Maybe she and Travolta kept in touch until her death here last week at age 52. Whether they did or not, they will be forever aligned in our memories as comedic characters in the televi- sion series with the catchy "Welcome Back" theme song. For every welcome, however, there is also a goodbye. This is a goodbye of fondness and grati- . tude for what Scott did. She made us laugh.

Don't leave computers unat- tended. Be sure employees always log out of their computers before leaving their workstations. 5. Keep computer operating systems current. New security flaws are discovered all the time and manufacturers frequently release patches. Most newer oper- ating systems automatically notify users when updates become avail- able. If your system doesn't, you should regularly check the web site of your computer's manufac- turer 'and download.-oritical-- updates and patches I especially ' thtbe th;t ,correct'tl trity-relaf- ed defects. 6. Update software programs regularly. When you install appli- cation software on your computer, you typically have an opportunity to register with the manufacturer. While not mandatory, this is a good idea because registering your software makes it possible for manufacturers to alert you via e-mail of security patches and per- formance updates. 7. Select passwords carefully. Remind employees to create pass- words that are not easily identifi- able. The most secure passwords contain at least eight characters, with a mixture of upper- and lower- case letters, numerals and sym- bols. Be sure that employees do not post notes with log in and pass- word information around their workstation. 8. Back up files regularly. You should periodically create a back- up of your company's entire sys- tem. This will help minimize the loss of data in the event that criti- cal files are destroyed. There are automatic back-up systems avail- able that are not too expensive. Smaller companies may be able to use a zip drive or a CD for back- up purposes. 9. Secure data transmissions. If your company sends sensitive pro- prietary information via the Internet, you should consider using encryption to prevent data from being copied or stolen. Another safeguard is to install a firewall. A firewall is a security method that keeps outsiders from accessing restricted information on networks or intranets.

Procko said even with the improvements, the road would not meet county width require- ments, was inadequate to support 10 new houses and would only add drainage problems for neigh- boring property owners. "Storm water runoff from Simmons Road, the roadway sys- tem of the new subdivision itself and that of 10 roofs and driveways would be dumped in a long ditch that would run alongside the entire length of my property," he said. Gillette argued that the road and gutters would be designed to force runoff onto the develop- ment's property where it would be stored in the wetlands. Within the rezoning request was a vari- ance to the county's road width and right-of-way requirements, based on the "hardship" that there was no room to expand the road. In a letter to Procko dated April 18, County Engineer Jos6 Deliz said since the applicants cannot gain additional right of way because of the limited space, it could be considered a hardship under the county's ordinance. He also said the proposal to construct a 24-foot road, with curb-and-gut- ter, storm water collection and conveyance facilities, would meet the county's criteria for "safe and efficient access to the proposed subdivision." But in the letter he adds that concerns about overde- velopment in'the area did not fac- tor into his consideration of the project's "technical merits." Earlier this month, Lane and Procko invited county staff and CHESTER Continued from iA 9 room Monday, the commission voted 4-1 to overturn the planning board's decision. Commissioner Marianne Marshall cast the lone dissenting vote. After Monday's meeting, she said she voted against requesting the report because she "was going to vote against (the future land use map amendment) anyway." For residents who object to the proposed 240-unit Courtney Isles Apartment Community, the request for the report was seen as the first step toward approval by the com- mission. "This is salami politics," Robert Weintraub, president of the East Nassau Homeowners Council, said. "You get one slice, then another slice;, ad :anotheraintil evyntul y , youOgtCtAetWbAlsalaMiri saisbqu Several'residents object-to thef'- development because the 30-acre parcel is currently zoned industri- al. By rezoning the property to high-intensity residential, oppo- nents say the county would replace much needed commercial growth with more residences, and more cars to crowd A1A as they travel back and forth to Jacksonville. George Lawrence of the Pirates Woods Home Owners Association echoed several citizens' concerns when he said residential develop- ment should be discouraged until A1A is widened. "What we need is for people to be able to live, work and spend their paycheck in Nassau County with the development of industrial zoned property," he said. "Not more hous- ing." Other residents also repeated concerns about A1A being over its traffic capacity, and the evacuation problems that situation could pose.

Commissioner Jim B. Higginbotham said Monday the issue with the narrow road, and its limited right of way space, was what ultimately led him to make a motion to deny the application. "I'm having heartburn about a school bus stopping in that road," Higginbotham said. In his motion, Higginbotham added that after hearing all the arguments Monday, along with a careful reading of the planning board's minutes, he could not find enough evidence to overturn the planning board's decision to deny the request at its April 4 meeting. Higginbotham's motion was seconded by Commissioner Tom Brannon and the vote was unani- mous. Monday's decision was the lat- est setback in the attempt to devel- op the property. The same parcel was the site of a previous propos- al for a 12-unit townhouse devel- opment called Del Mar Villas. The city of Fernandina Beach declined to annex the property last year, in part because of the condition of Simmons road. Bridwell and Gillette then approached the county about rezoning the property for a pro- posed 10-lot subdivision. bprice@fbnewsleader.com FLEET OF BUSES A fleet of new buses stands ready to serve the public at the Council on Aging head- quarters on South 18th Street in Fernandina Beach. This service is in addition to the long-established Care-A-Van, and will serve the general public, linking the east and west sides of the county. According to Mariellen Heron, executive director of the Council on Aging, work is in progress, in conjunction with the state, to set up a comput- er program for the transporta- tion system. If all goes well, she said, the service should be up and running by the end of May. For information, call the director of the program, Steve Arseneau, at 261-0700.

Their last attempt to hand over our elections to the county and to extend the terms of two incum- bent commissioners beyond what the voters elected them for was soundly defeated in the April 12 election. But don't relax, fellow citizens. Here they come again. Mayor Greg Roland was appar- ently satisfied with our election procedures until he lost his bid for re-election. Now he wants to change the candidate campaign reporting date, apparently so that contributions can be used as a cam- paign issue. Commissioner Walker wants to limit campaign contributions to $50 with a limit of $3500 in campaign spending. That would ensure that only incumbents, who already have name recognition, or those who have the means to spend their own money would be able to run suc- cessfully. That doesn't seem to be very democratic. Commissioner Crow quite rightly defended the right of Police Chief Hammond to contribute $500 apiece to two candidates for the commission. Unfortunately, how- ever, he followed that with sup- porting the proposal to limit con- tributions to $50. None of this makes much sense. But then, as Commissioner Roberts helpfully pointed out, vot- ers in Fernandina Beach aren't very smart "They're not Rhodes Scholars in Fernandina," he said. At this point, I suspect the vot- ers in Fernandina Beach are a whole lot smarter than the com- missioners. At least we know that our sys- tem of elections works just fine and doesn't need a serving of sour grapes to make it better. Kay Penner Fernandina Beach Library needs funding Perhaps the reason Nassau County Library's book budget has been cut 75 percent since 2002 ("Library budget woes worsen," April 20) might be attributable to those who are supposed to be knowledgeable about its resources and advocates for its funding. For instance, Donna Paz Kaufman, the newly appointed president of the Friends of the Library in Fernandina Beach, using Harold Bloom's.

Try your local library," April 1) should have known that this book is not available in the Nassau County Library system as well as the other book she touts, The Libraries of Basra, albeit the latter might provide some useful back- ground for Nassau County to write a book comparable to it. The same ignorance of what's available in our libraries also holds true for Nassau County Library Assistant Manager Janet Loveless, who told another newspaper there are "plenty of books and music on tape and compact discs that people can borrow." Perhaps you should visit the Fernandina Beach library for a visual confirmation. While you're there, take a look at the new editions bookshelf. Last time I looked, there were fewer than a dozen books on it and a few of those had been donated. If the above individuals are indicative of who is representing the best interests of the library system, perhaps their rosy picture has helped in the slashing of the budget. After all, their rhetoric sounds like the library system is in great shape and it is doing just fine on 25 percent of its budget. One individual I called several weeks ago about the slashing of the library budget was Commissioner Marianne Marshall. When I asked Ms. Marshall why the library budget had been cut by 75 percent since 2002, she was nonplussed at my inquiry. When I asked her how Gwen Miller could "save" thousands of dollars for a new potty while the library is on the brink of obliteration, she said "because then Gwen wouldn't have to walk down the hall to the bath- room and anyway Gwen's money came from impact fees." I then asked Ms. Marshall where the money comes from for the library system. Apparently, she didn't know because she said she was out to lunch (no pun intended) and would have to get back to me. To be fair to Ms. Marshall, she was probably being diplomatic in that there is really no substantial funding for the library; whatever money is allocated is merely an afterthought to keep it barely afloat and to forestall the ignominy of it being shut, down completely. Perhaps the library should be funded from impact fees (sorry, Gwen). The continued growth in Nassau County is certainly having a negative impact on its ability to provide the three books per capital that is state mandated for contin- ued funding. I won't even mention the state's space requirements. If we can't afford new books, a new building seems quite illusory. Perhaps we could get some space in the new judicial complex that was so overbuilt. The area from the front doors to the reception area would probably do nicely.

We are reminded of that each year when the Nassau County Volunteer Center recognizes resi- dents who exemplify true volunteer spirit.

When the state takes your land "Whatwould the late MadgeHouser have said Susette Kelo and six other homeowners in New London who are fighting to keep the city from taking their land. In essence, the resi- !Jdents are saying, "We like it here, and we don't want to leave." The city and its develop- S" ment corporation are say- ing, "But look how much the city and this area would S" benefit if we can tear down these homes and put up a conference center, a hotel complex, offices, condo- Phil miniums, and eventually an Hudgins aquarium. Look how much we'll take in just in taxes." Madge Houser might have FROM THE said, "Wanna borrow my HOME OFFICE shotgun, lady?" The case of eminent domain in New London has gone allthe way to the U.S. Supreme Court A ruling is expected in June. With eminent domain, a government can seize private property and convert it for a greater "pub- lic use," perhaps for a highway or school or a flood-controlling lake. Well, it used to be for a greater public use. New London officials argue that eminent domain also should apply to "economic development," even if it's done privately, since it would increase tax revenue and improve the economy. The greater public use was more clear-cut in Gainesville, Ga., back in the 1950s, when the U.S. Corps of Engineers was impounding a lake for water conservation, flood control and other uses. But Madge Houser didn't see it that way. She did- n'1 want to sell her land, she didn't want to move, and she didn't want anyone near her home. Her land eventually was condemned in court, mean- ing the government could pay her and take the land. But even with water rising around her place, Houser stayed put. 'They say she'd put her mother in a wash tub and float her over to the! shore," recalled Phil Jackson, who covered the story for the local newspaper. When fishermen got too close to her place, Houser shot at rhem with her shotgun, Jackson said. And if she found any trot lines run by fisher- men, she threw them into the lake. Finally, with the lake rising more and more, federal marshals forcibly removed Houser from her home and rowed her to shore. Even then, she didn't give up. "She'd come by and want us to prosecute the federal government or an agent for taking her land," said Sidney 0. Smith Jr., who was an assis- tant solicitor general at the time. "I'd talk to her, but there was no reasoning with Madge." You know, I understand. No one who's happy with her home wants to give it up, even it's for the overall public good. And I sure wouldn't want to relinquish my land for some private development, even a convention center. So where does the gov- ernment draw the line? Are we going to allow the government to seize someone's private land for another private use? I know what Madge Houser would've said.

For years I've believed that the primary duty of local elected officials and government staff is to protect and serve our island's unique quality of life. The heart, the very core, of that uniqueness, at least in my opinion, is easily identified: an oceanfront relatively free of condominiums, high-rise hotels/motels and other structures similarly obstructive, a public-friendly downtown waterfront, accessible and well-maintained public parks, open space and protected environmentally sensitive lands, stable, if not lowered property taxes, and affordable housing that promotes an inclusive island popula- tion, not an exclusive one. There are, I believe, other, more subtle though certainly no less important ingredients to our uniqueness, and these will be the subjects of my next several columns. I begin with public beach access. As I have written and spoken about many times, 50 years ago public access to every inch of this island's beach was a given; a concept as natural and as accepted as the sea breeze in summer. There weren't many signed accesses like we have today, just well-worn footpaths, platted street ends, Main Beach and cars and trucks. In 1972, the beginning of our island's "Hawaiianization" era, all of that changed. Resortism had made its way to Amelia Island and that system demands private, not public beaches. From the beginning our long and deeply held belief and com- mitment to public beach access came under attack, and that attack has been relentless, claiming mile after mile of beach, once public, for those seeking privacy and exclusivity. What brings this all to mind is the recent effort of Aaron Bean, our representative in Tallahassee. Rep. Bean sponsored a bill that would ensure the state's involvement in making sure that existing public beach accesses were kept open and maintained. Support for such a widely held concept would be a given, right? Wrong. Alleged private property rights activists were speaking out everywhere against, as were resortists and local politicians.

VIEWPOINT/MICHA REAGAN Pope Benedict XVI is a true Catholic A long with all those pick-and-choose American Catholics our pagan media is shocked shocked -that the cardinals have picked a new pope who is a real, hon- est to goodness Catholic! According to the current wisdom, the head of the Roman Catholic Church must confirm to the customs and mores of the times even if the times happen to be filled with such corruption as to make the decadence of ancient Rome appear virtuous by comparison. That the 115 cardinals voting in the conclave failed to conform to the current wisdom and pick some wimpish equivocator who would bend with the winds that blow hither and yon and compromise ^*tI"vfiVA th^^hughrhas-taughtipr-2000years-s- ivu proved tbbe incomprehensible to today's chil- dren of darkness who consider themselves to be an enlightened elite. How, they ask, could a brilliant cleric and author of scholarly books such as Pope Benedict XVI not understand that opposition to such icons of modern thought and practice as abortion and homosexuality and militant feminism and unrestrained sexuality is an outmoded code of conduct. Get with the times, he is advised. That he will not, because he cannot and remain faithful to his creed and his office, offends that small but vocal cadre of dissidents who call them- selves Catholics yet reject the basic doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church. They remind me of those who we call RINOs - Republicans in name only, sometime-adherents of that brand of "Marxism lite," now the official creed of the Democrats. They are the CINOs Catholics in name only - adherents of the new religion of anything goes as long as it is acceptable to the majority. They are weeping and wailing and gnashing their teeth over the selection of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, unhappy with the reality of his papacy and writhing in frustra- tion over their inability to force their church to make changes it cannot make and remain the Roman Catholic Church. They needn't suffer. The answer is there and their church should help them see it and act on it Every Catholic church in the U.S. should have maps of their area printed up showing the location of the nearest Episcopalian church with instructions on how to get there. It's where they can find homosex- ual bishops, lesbian priests, sanction for abortion, the unfettered right to divorces and all those other practices the Catholic Church forbids under pain of mortal sin. It is the church that can't say no. They'll be very comfortable there. Actually, they have plenty of other options if they insist on affiliating with a church. There are 16,000 Protestant sects in the United States. They offer a huge variety of dos and don't (mostly dos). You can pick and choose. The Catholic Church has been consistent for 2000 years. They have been consistent for human life, and all the other doctrines handed down from the apostles. Pope Benedict XVI is going to carry on that tradition and in world of turmoil it is good to have a church such as the Catholic Church that is steadfast. Do they have problems? Yes, they've always had problems, but the church as a whole is the rock on which all Christianity is built Mike Reagan, the eldest son of the late President Ronald Reagan, is heard on more than 200 talk radio stations nationally as part of the Radio America Network.

At 12, she sold newspapers in front of Winn-Dixie. Now, at 27, she lives independ- ently, drives herself around and, through Communities in Schools,. she is a career counselor for grades 9 through 12 at Fernandina Beach High School. An FBHS graduate, she is also a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University, where she earned a degree in social sciences. As if all that were not enough, Abigail Carter has just had an expe- rience that she says has taught her more about life and the community in which she grew up than anything else had done to date. Confined to a wheelchair since her accident, Carter has had to get it in and out of her car. "Because that was such an exhausting task, I did only my most important after- school errands because I got really, really fired," she explains. "I never thought of having anything easier because anything easier was way out of my reach." However, Susan Milana, direc- tor of Communities in Schools of Nassau County, thought differently. "She went on the Internet to find me a vehicle and found every van too expensive," Carter says. "But she didn't give up and she finally wound up at a place in Atlanta that sells vans already accessorized. But for me, the $1,000 deposit was an impossibility." It was not an impossibility for Milana, though. She sent a letter to people in the community and raised $3,000. Ashley McIntyre contacted SUBMITTED Abigail Carter, left, shows Joanne Fullwood of the public defend- er's office how convenient it is to operate a wheelchair-accessi- ble van that she purchased with the help of the community. Carter's Leadership Nassau class (which is under the Amelia Island- Fernandina Beach-Yulee Chamber of Commerce) and Joanne Fulwood of the public defender's office, and both areas contributed. "And the lady and men Shriners raised anoth- er $1,500. And my dad helped, too," she says. Her eyes sparkle as she recalls that the whole process took only a month and a half. But she says she was thoroughly drained by then because she wanted the van so badly. "I never thought I'd be the one needing help," she says. "I have, always helped others. My favorite quote is 'No man is an island,' and I've just experienced that. I now have a sense of freedom I never had before. '"This experience has really changed my life. Those people have earned their place in Heaven. I'd like to honor and celebrate all of them for what they've done for me. Without them, none of this would have been possible. "I was so used tb life being hard that I never dreamed life could be any easier," she says. "This amazing community really comes together in time of need."

SMARTER AIR CONDITIONER. 101 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27,2005 NEWS News-Leader Pedalers, paddlers, hikers promote their wish list BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader Kristen Zur would like to ride her bike someday down Old Nassauville Road to the Nassau River, or from Fort Clinch to the southern tip of Amelia Island. The 11-year-old resident of Fernandina Beach said she already rides anywhere she can, and would like more to pedal, instead of sitting in traffic or inside her house watch- ing video games. Kristen's wish list is exactly what the First Coast Metropolitan Planning Organization was look- ing for April 20 at a public work- shop for the Regional Greenways and Trails Plan. The idea is to design a system of off-road corridors for recreational activities, and promote the use of non-car travel to school and work. The plan will include paved trails for walking and biking, and identi- fy areas for hiking/nature walks, mountain biking, equestrian and paddling trails. Held at FCCJ's Betty P. Cook Nassau Center, local residents were invited to sit down with a map and a marker to delineate areas where they'd like to see those corridors in the county and throughout the region.: It was the second of seven work- shops scheduled throughout the area this month, and part of an ongoing effort by the MPO to obtain local input on where people would prefer to walk, bike, ride or hike. "Who's more knowledgeable about neighborhoods and towns than the people who live there," MPO spokesperson Marci Larson said. "People come in, look at our objectives and sit down with a map to create their own trails." In addition to the workshops, the MPO is also inviting residents to complete surveys which can be found on the web at www.firstcoast greenways.com. Once the surveys and the maps from the workshops have been assimilated, the MPO will submit the information to the firm Sprinkle Consulting, which will facilitate the project with the Florida Department of Transportation. Theo Petritsch of Sprinkle Consulting said residents should be proud that the MPO has dedi- cated so much of its resources for all forms of transportation, includ- ing non-motorized transit. "It's comprehensive biking, hiking, horses, which is more than a lot of counties have done," he said.

PUBLICX SHOPPING CENTER) Fernandina Beach 26 1-0555 Coast is doing a stellar job, by using a lot of public land and working hard to let the public have input." The greenways and trails plan will be funded by money the Florida Department of Transportation provides to the MPO for enhancement projects, but Petritsch said it is not known yet how large the effort's budget will be. But he said the plan is to try to maximize quality and cost by cre- ating corridors that stick mainly to publicly owned land. He said the planning phase for the project should last until August, and then will be submitted to FDOT. But Kristen and other building enthusiasts shouldn't hope to see their new trails appear anytime soon. Petritsch stressed this is a long-range plan, and FDOT typi- cally takes a minimum of five years before it implements a project. That's several years out, but it's also the reason why Kristen's moth- er, Pattie Zur, said she wanted to be there Wednesday to have her say now. "This is a rapidly developing area, and if we have no say in where the trails go, eventually there will no place to put them because it will all be developed out," she said. bpice@fbnewsleadercom BENJAMIN PRICE/NEWS-LEADER .

April 19 in warning high school students about staying safe on prom night "I was doing the party thing," he said, recalling a night in November 1995 when he was 23 years old. "I really didn't think I was that drunk." So he got behind the wheel of a vehicle after visiting two bars with buddies. After driving off the road he blacked out and learned later he had driven down a road at 100 miles an hour and rear-ended a car. One of the three passengers, unable to escape, burned to death following the impact. "I made it home last May," he said. "I spent almost a quarter of my life in prison. All I had to do was make a phone call." Kevin made a tearful plea to parents.' "You've got to connect with your kids," he said. "Let them' know they don't have to be ashamed to pick up the phone."

Florida Department of Law Enforcement special agent Dominick Pape confirmed Tuesday his team is investigating whether a staff member took funds for personal use. 1 Pape said there "are no charges yet," and said he expects the inves, tigation to be finished within 60 days: When asked how much money was being investigated, Pape said he could not release that informa- tion yet, or any other specifics about the case. What began as a "preliminary review" of financial irregularities was stepped up to an "active crim- inal investigation" last month, Pape said. He added that the investiga- tion is taking several weeks because of the amount of docu- ments collected, interviews with staff and financial records which have to be subpoenaed. "We want to resolve as many issues as we can to put some clo- sure to this investigation due to the fact it's a government office," he said. The FDLE;was brought in eight weeks ago at current clerk of court John Crawford's request, after an outside audit disclosed irregulari- ties in the office's records. That audit was performed to reconcile the records during the transition from former clerk of court Chip Oxley to Crawford, who took over in January. Crawford defeated Oxley in the 2004 elec- tion, after Oxley served two terms as clerk of court from 1997 to 2004. bprice@fbnewsleadercom Retired police officer holds suspect at gunpoint in home gunol,.0m SHANNON MALCOM.

Leeper said Bell over-steered the car to the left in trying to bring it back onto the road. His car then traveled over to the left shoulder, struck the cul- vert and overturned. Bell was not wearing a seatbelt Bell was taken to Shands Jacksonville after the accident where he died that day. The accident was similar to one in Hilliard on April 18 that injured one woman. Marla Johnson, 48, was driving north on US 1, about a mile south of Hilliard, when her 1992 Chevy drifted onto the right shoulder of the road and she over-steered to the left and lost control of the vehi- cle. Johnson was treated :and released from Shands Jacksonville later that day. Leeper said over-steering to bring a vehicle back onto the road- is a common cause of accidents. 1J' .%w gyou're--eeiig,off to-the., sidi .--f the road, it's very corrunon. , in this kind of panic situation; for you to over-steer the vehicle... and that causes the rear end of the vehi- cle to swerve back and forth," he said. "... The next thing you know, you're turning over." Leeper said the correct way to niove a vehicle that has begun to drift to the side of the road is to "get your foot off the accelerator, so you can slow down gradually, don't slam on your brakes ... and ease back over, not over-steering." Leeper said speeding was a con- Itributing factor in Thursday's acci- dent. smalcom@fbnewsleader.com SUPPORT MUSic EDUCATION IN NASSAU COUNTY RO.

Williams, youths on both sides of the system learn valuable lessons about the consequences of criminal activity. "The purpose of Teen Court is to interrupt the developing pattern of criminal behavior in juve- niles by promoting self-esteem, motivation for self-improvement and forming a healthy attitude toward authority," said coordinator Charles Griffin. 'Teen Court provides young people the opportunity to demon- strate to adults and themselves their capacity for self-government and responsible citizenship," said Griffin. "Since 1998, Teen Court has seen over 400 young offenders enter the program with a 90 percent success rate," Griffin explained. "That is, few of those arrested return to the juvenile court system." A grant from the Department of Juvenile Justice was used to fund the first year of operation. First- time offenders between the ages of 11-18 must admit their guilt before seeking justice from a jury of their peers. Imposed sentences include per- forming community. service and acting as a juror.

SSPRING CLEARANCE SALE NASSAU AUTO MALL SPRING CLEARANCE SALE * SPORTS TALK JOHN L. CRAWFORD NASSAU SPORTS B SECTION It's hard to keep up with thisfones he Jacksonville Jaguars' pick of Matt Jones in the first round ".f Saturday's NFI draii will be viewed by many ias risky. I Ihinik it was gutsy and might prove to be the team's bl st first-r,-und selection ever, It was no secret heading into the draft that the Jags needed a receiver, though management has shown little ability in bringing the right pass catcher on board in the first round (see RJay Soward and, Reggie Williams if he doesn't improve dramatically in his second season). So for fans to view the move with a raised eyebrow is understand- able. But I predict that Jones, a college quarterback with no proven track record at wide receiver, will be a special play- er for the teal and black. I watched him scrap out too many wins at Arkansas, not because he was a great quar- terback but because he was an intense competitor with remarkable athletic ability. So what if he hasn't played wide receiver (not counting a decoy role against Auburn in 2002) ? I don't recall , Pittsburgh's Antwaan Randle El ever playing the position in college either and now he's a gwnic-biedc;..-.And Curdell Stewart wasn't too shabby a pass catcher either, though his quarterback play got him the boot from the Steelers. Jones is is 6-foot-6, 242 pounds. But don't be fooled by his gangly frame because the guy can flat out fly, recording a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash recently. Jacksonville QB Byron Leftwich has to be salivating at the thought of having three tall targets to go up and fight for the ball with Jones, Ernest Wilford at 6-foot-3 and Williams at 6-foot-4. And WR Jimmy Smith has to be excited to have a guy opposite of him who can, stretch the field, which is sure to take some of the attention off the Pro Bowler. The first time I saw Jones play for Arkansas I kind of chuckled because be looked awkward on a football field. Over the next four seasons, I became a fan. I'm betting Jaguars fans will, too ... Speaking of the draft, don't Gator fans have to feel a little bittersweet about Utah's Alex Smith being selected No. 1 by the San Francisco 49ers? Makes me wonder if Smith's success is a direct result of being coached by Urban Meyer orif Meyer's success at Utah was a direct result of hav- ing Smith as his quarterback? Or mn-lybe I'm just over-analyz- ing the whole situation... One person who might have needed to analyze his sit- uation a little better before declaring eligible for the draft is Florida's Ciatrick Fason. Fason, who wasn't selected until I he fourth round by Minnesota on Sunday, likely cost himself millions of dollars by for-egoing his senior season and entering a running back- heavy draft. I know the babies needed shoes but they could have had cross trainers. Now , they'll have to settle for penny loafers... Miami took Channing Crowder in the third round Sunday and Tennessee took Reynaldo Hill in the seventh, marking the weakest Florida draft class in some time. Does that mean Ron Zook left Meyer with a bare cup- board?... Florida State, meanwhile, had two players taken in the first round. There is no such thing as a bare cupboard at FSU. John L. Crawford's column appears Wednesdays. TALLAHASSEE BOUND / / OUTDOORS / TIDES CROSSWORD AROUND TOWN WEDNESDAY. APRIL27. 2005 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA ! Pirates edge West | Nassau 5-3 in llth, Scap 05 Thu'rsday 1 a '' * BETH JONES News.Leader Marcus Carter's single to left field scored a pair of runs in the top of the 11th inning Friday night to lift the Fernandina Beach High School baseball team past cross- county foe West Nassau 5-3. "Marcus (Carter) and Marcus (Chatman) have had hot bats late- ly," FBHS Coach Ken Roland said. Chatman, who .had a two-run triple in the seventh, also had a pair of home runs and a double last week to score five runs for the Pirates. Carter had three hits and 3 RBI against West Nassau. The Pirates trailed 3-0 in the seventh and knotted the score with Chatman's triple and an RBI groundout by Carter. Ryan Estes went eight innings on the mound Friday and Kyle Davis picked up the win with three innings of scoreless relief. "Estes pitched out of several jams," Roland said. The Pirates also had a pair of hits from Brett Moore (.343) and singles from Will Taylor, Blaine Dickinson and Will Harris. Fernandina rebounded from Thursday's 7-2 loss to district foe Bishop Kenny. Up next The Pirates (14-10) cap the 2005 regular season Thursday at Fleming Island. The district tournament opens Monday at First Coast. "We carried a tied game (2-2) into the sixth inning with two outs and gave up a big inning," Roland said. Bishop Kenny scored five runs in the inning, all six with two outs against the Crusaders. Kevin Beck, sophomore right- handed pitcher, threw six solid innings, scattering 10 hits. He is now 3-2 on the season. D.J. Hyers came on in the sixth to quiet the Crusaders' bats. "The defense let down and gave up some easy- outs, to the Crusaders," Roland said. "You can't give teams five or six outs in an inning and expect to win." The loss didn't affect the Pirates' district seed for the tour- nament. FBHS (14-10, 6-4 in the district) remained seeded at sec- ond behind Bishop Kenny. The Pirates wrap up the regular season at Fleming Island Thursday. The district tournament will be May 2-5 at First Coast. Pirates beat Flashes 13-4 in season finale The regular season came to a close Thursday in Hilliard for the Fernandina Beach High School girls softball team. The Lady Pirates capped 2005 on a winning note, beating their hosts 13-4 and avenging an earlier 2-1 loss to the Lady Flashes. All three Pirate pitchers took turns. Dee Dee DeBerry went two innings, giving up just two hits. Holly Sutherland was on the mound the next two innings and gave up three hits. Brittany Turner finished the game, seeing just nine batters in the last three innings. She struck out three and allowed just one hit. 'Turner had a great day on the mound," said FBHS Coach Lesley Slaughter. "She was throwing hard and consistent." With the game tied up 4-4 in the third, the "Pirates' sticks got hot," according to Slaughter. FBHS scored seven runs on five hits in the fourth and added anoth- er two runs in the fifth for the vic- tory. "It was a good win for us in our last regular season game before we enter into district competition," Slaughter said. The Pirates collected 10 hits with Kenan Roland leading the way with a pair of singles. Whitney Hud- son tripled and Caitlin Cheshire, Ashley Adams and Turner all had doubles. DeBerry, Sutherland, Megan Thrift, Wooda Smith and Dana Sanders all singled. The Lady Pirates (9-15) played Andrew Jackson on Monday and a win would, have pitted FBHS against First Coast, on Tuesday. The district championship game is Thursday at Stanton.. "If we can carry our pitching and hitting over into districts, we will win," Slaughter said. Lady Pirates net district. title PF'Ti j,:' ,,f r '.', :LEA rr The Fernandina Beach High School girls tennis team collected the school's first district title last week, edging, Stanton by a point. The team includes, kneeling from left, Jackie Olbina and Amanda Kitchens; standing, Andi Nobles, Crystal Eldridge, Jenna Scott, Brittany Flaherty and Molly Montague. BETH JONES News-Leader The Lady Pirate netters are district champs for the first time. The Fernandina Beach High School girls tennis team beat Stanton in a playoff April 20, 14-13. Thi ree Pirates were individual champions. Brittany Flaherty, a sophomore, won 7-6, 3-6, 6-2 in the No. 2 singles final and Jenna Scott, a junior, was a 6-2, 6-3 win- ner in the No. 3 singles. Flaherty was a double-dipper, teaming up with Crystal Eldridge to win their doubles bracket. The district champs faced the state champs on Friday when the Lady Pirates hosted Bolles in a regional playoff. "We are very proud of this group of girls," FBHS Coach Mark Durr said. 'They have a winning attitude. After tying Stanton and then coming out and playing another five hours for a third day showed a lot of character, which they have. They accomplished some- thing that no girls team has ever accomplished. "We-are very excited and we had a very smooth and successful district tournament again thanks to our parent volunteers Robin French, Pam Nobles, Karen Olbina and the Scotts," Durr said. Jackie Olbina, a senior, played No. 1 singles for FBHS. She and her teammates hosted Bolles, defending state champs, in the region- al round Friday.

Wayne Mortenson was second with an 85, plus 12 while Jack Sipes (plus 11, 80) was only good enough for third place.

The team of Wayne. Mortenson (92, plus 3), Bill Burney (99, minus 1), Jim Deal (82, plus 4) and Jack Ferry (96, plus 4) took second at plus 10. Peter Dietz (91, plus 2), Tom.

During the time when Jack Nicklaus ruled the golf world, Miller stormed the PGA tour and captured the 1973 U.S. Open and the 1976 British Open. .rs One of the many problems that can cause the amateur golfer's iron and wood shots to go offline is something not thought about often. Having too hard or too soft of a grip could be a key to not hitting your shots on the correct line. If your grip is too light, when you make the backswing, your wrists may go into a cupped position. This will result in an open clubface from the top of your back- swing all the way through impact. The sim- ple solution is to slightly strengthen your grip to let the clubface be more square at impact. If you tend to hook the ball, that means that your clubface is dosed at impact and could be dosed at the top of your backswing. As a result, you will need to relax your grip a little bit, allowing the club to make a smooth tran- sition from the backswing through impact. 2005 Money Leaders World Rankings Driving Distance Putting Average Rank & Player Money Rank & Player Score Rank & Player Avg.

In fact, most off- shore fishermen were amazed to find calm waters as they navigat- ed the St Marys rock jetties. Many of the sport fishing boats were prepared to fish in close to the beaches and inlet for black drum and redfish if the seas were still bumpy. or, Terry Lacoss OUTDOORS Red snapper are real fighters when hooked idth fairly light offshore fishing tackle and regarded as a seafood delica- cy.

Jeff Monahan, left. and Da)id Edwards landed this nice pair of Fernandina Beach red snap- per while off- shore fishing Terry D, LIcoss. i Fi ': L Ei , Needless to say the recent run of black drum has been nothing short of phe- nomenal. Local char- ter skipper Capt. Benny Hendrix had tallied 49 drum so far this spring for his charter guests. Some boats did opt for drum fishing with a full moon arriving Sunday. "If you can't catch black drum now, you are missing the best. drum bite of the year," said Capt. Keith Edwards. "During a recent flood tide, my charter landed nine red drum and nine black drum. It doesn't get much better than this!" Of course, fishermen were tempted to stay in close to shore and enjoy the drum bite, but somehow the calm seas and the promise of big offshore catchers beckoned a few boats. Deep-sea fishermen had reached a variety of offshore structures after a 10-mile ride. Fresh squid and chunks of Boston mackerel were barbed on to needle-sharp saltwater hooks and send down to the bottom with the aid of a heavy 10-ounce bank sinker. Aboard the Amelia Angler, Capt. Burgess Lewellen gave encouragement to Jeff Monahan as he strained to work a fairly large red snapper off from the bottom of the large offshore .^ "Keep that rod bent double," Lewellen encouraged. "Reel, reel, reel!" Unfortunately the big snapper found the bottom and soon Red snapper can be prepared a variety of ways and offer some of the finest tasting filets from the sea. pulled the saltwater hook free. Minutes later, Capt. Terry D. Lacoss was encouraging David Edwards to reel hard as well. This time, Edwards was able to work the big snapper up off from the reef where Lacoss swooped the 11-pound snapper right into the cockpit area of the boat. During the rest of the morn- ing, offshore fishing boats hooked into excellent red snap- per fishing action and landed a few nice grouper too. While clos- er to shore, fishermen were hooking into the recent run of black drum. "Hey, that is excellent. We are fighting a pair of big drum too," said an unidentified fisher- men on the marine vhf radio. "Every boat around me has caught at least one big drum and some have caught more!" Back at the Fernandina Harbor Marina docks, sport-fish- ing boats began tying their boat lines to dock cleats and unload- ing their catches. Finally, they had a- y where' ,,m re-sa" per and black drum were caught- without the handicap of a 15- to 20-mile per hour northeast wind. Black drum fishing action is now winding down with the end of April's full moon, however red snapper fishing should be excel- lent right through the rest of the spring, summer and fall fishing seasons. Peeples wins drum tourney Tony Peeples' 77.56-pound black drum took on all chal- lengers during the recently held Nassau Sport Fishing Association Black Drum Tournament and won the first prize of over $1,000. Coming in a close second place was Jason Scott's 77.02-pound black drum. Anthony Watson finished in fourth place with a 77-pound black drum. A full story will fol- low in next week's fishing article.

Special-opportunity hunts The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will accept applications May 1 through June 15 for 2005-2006 special-opportunity hunts. Applying for these unique hunts now is automated through FWC's Total Licensing System. To apply for these permits, visit any license agent or tax collec- tor's office or submit an applica- tion online at MyFWC.com. Applications are available from FWC regional offices and online at MyFWC.com. Special-opportunity hunts offers hunters vast areas, abun- dant game, low hunter quotas and excellent chances to bag quality deer, hogs and released quail on select wildlife manage- ment areas throughout Florida. Based on past years, demand for these hunts is greater than the number of available slots, so a random drawing is conducted to select hunters. Hunter can improve their chances of being selected by submitting as many non-refundable $5 applications as they want. The cost of the hunts for selected applicants ranges from $50 to $175. Visit MyFWC.com/hunting for more information on how to apply for special-opportunity hunt permits. Measuring finfish The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission pro- posed a series of rule amend- FERNANDINA BEAC4 TIDES ments to clarify how fishermen should measure saltwater finfish. The Commission is developing these rules to standardize the way that total length is meas- ured. FWC's saltwater fishing rules express size limits of marine fish in either fork length or total length. Size limit measurements for fish expressed in fork length, such as Spanish mackerel, pom- pano and cobia, are considered to be easily understood by fisher- men and do not need further clarification. However, FWC rules do not clearly specify how to measure fish that have total length size limits, such as red drum, spotted seatrout and snook, subjecting the measurement of total length to interpretation by fishermen and law enforcement officers. In order to clarify how total length size limits for marine fish should be measured, the FWC has proposed a series of rule amendments specifying that total length means the straight line distance from the most forward point of the head, with the mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail compressed or squeezed, while the fish is lying on its side. 27 May 4, 2005 W e I Moonser 8:57A Low 5:38A 0.04' Moonset 1:22P High 3:17A 6.62' W ed.

I am one of those people that cannot throw anything away. I try, I really do. Usually after we have been on vacation or visited someone with a neat orderly house, I get the urge to purge. Bags fill with old clothes, kitchen utensils not used any- more and other household stuff. A word to the wise: Never look back into one of those bags once you have parted with something. You may reconsider. I know. Chances are that what you retrieve will end up in the next bag of goodies earmarked for future elimination. First step is to bag it Big black lumpy bags. Then the bags fer- ment in the garage for weeks until Big Guy mentions it one too many times and I load the car and make my drops to various island stops. The danger is not over until you have walked out of the Barnabas New-To-You store or other island resale out- lets. As a born shop- Sper (it's genetic) inevitably something catches my eye. The last time I made a drop-off I Dickie Anderson came home .. .with an entire set of FROM THE wicker fur- PORCH niture. Do we have a place for it? No. It was a steal and I knew someone could use it A good friend is going through a renovation which includes a back deck, so she is now the proud owner of my "bargain." Not being able to part with things affects many parts of my life. Like my closet. There are lots of formulas. The one we all hear most often is if you haven't worn it for a year then out it goes. No problem, I just wear it once and hang it back in the closet for another year. Many of us trans- planted Northerners still hang on to our parkas, mittens and "lay- ers." You never know when you might go north again or take up skiing, snowshoeing or run the Iditarod..I am a sucker for any- thing with sentimental value. Something I wore for a special occasion or something that was once my mother's. I have boxes of clothes my little boys wore many years ago just waiting for grand- children. No contest, they stay. My desk is a living monument to my inability to weed and cull. Drawers of old letters and photo- graphs of people and places that I cannot remember or identify. I even save every greeting card Big Guy has ever given me. Th6 kitchen. We all do it. I have moved one particular jar of chili powder three times. We have canned goods that are aging like bottles of wine. What ever happened to those canned food drives when you could both clean out a cupboard and do good? The refrigerator also know as the museum at our house. There is a fairly predictable ebb and flow of basics like milk, orange juice and butter, but the rest of the cool frosty space is filled with endless mysterious items. Strange free form sculp- tures wrapped in aluminum foil join tiny dishes with bits and pieces of past meals. We have learned not to take the doggie bags offered at restaurants. Once in the refrigerator they simply age. When the big clean out comes we find duplicate and near- ly empty bottles of soy sauce, ketchup, salad dressing and jars of marmalade. Every room in our house has its own set of drawers and in each are things we should probably throw away. Drawers hold all the little things we can't part with. We all have those drawers. Ours have golf tees, playing cards (no one plays cards at our house), mys- tery keys, Christmas ornament hooks, ticket stubs, receipts, nail clippers, cocktail napkins, kitchen implements rarely used, silver- ware that has been left after a pot luck, mystery remotes, empty pill bottles (so you can retrieve the prescription information), glasses with old prescriptions, empty CD holders, CD's without their hold- ers, pens that don't write, pencils that are not sharpened, etc. I will keep reading the columns in the paper and watch- ing the television specials about how to be neat and organize, but I know in the end it is hopeless.

The last time their picture was in the paper the humane society was looking for a foster home for them to undergo their heartworm treatment Unfortunately, they were unable to get foster care, but since summer is coming and heat is really hard on heart- worm positive dogs, the soci- ety proceeded with the treat- ment and kept them quiet at the shelter. Thanks to some wonderful volunteers, they got out every day for long slow walks. That helped keep their stress levels down which is also important dur- ing heartworm treatment. Now they-are ready to be adopted into forever homes. Houston is a very large bor- der collie, perhaps with Great Dane mixed in there. Harley also has some border collie and Lab mixed in for good measure! Both will be featured in the."Shrimp Festival Parade" Thursday night down Centre Street. Look for both of them along with 21 of their shelter friends all looking for homes. Ruth is the spokes-cat for the shelter and while she wants a good home, she and Hi, I'm Mr. Wilson, and one of my foster moms here at the Thrift Shop gets a real kick out of my name. She says it reminds here of Dennis the Menace. She'll call out "Mr. Wilson" when she finds me wandering the shop, laughs, pets me, and tells me what a handsome fine boy I am. I'm really a laid back sort of cat, looking for an easy-going environ- ment. Don't get me wrong; kids are all right but some- times they're a little over- excited about things. I prefer calmer surroundings. I get along great with other male or female cats and like lots of friends and toys to play with. So come on in to the Cats Angels Shop & Adopt located next to Best Friends Cards, Gifts and Party the lavender house on Eighth Street across from Taco Bell. her cat friends will not be in the parade.
