F LO R I DAY'S OLDEST W E E K L Y N EWS PAP ER WEDNESDAY JULY20, 2005/34 PAGES 3 SECTIONS Smoke detector saved life SHANNON MALCOM News-Leader A smoke detector installed by Nassau County Fire-Rescue fire- fighters may have saved the life of 66-year-old Ruby Brown when her Yulee home caught fire early Monday morning. Nassau County Fire Investigator Roger A. Henderson said Brown told him the smoke detector woke her up about 4:15 a.m. Henderson said the smoke detector was installed by fire-rescue personnel as part of a community service effort to provide smoke detectors to peo- ple who don't have them. "We have a program where dif- ferent businesses give us smoke detectors and if anybody is in need (of a smoke detector), we take their information... and send the smoke detector to the closest fire station and the firefighters go and install it," he said. The fire destroyed the 86091 Yanie Road home. Firefighters had the fire under control within 45 minutes, accord- ing to Nassau County Fire-Rescue Chief Tracy Braley. Braley said the fire was completely extinguished after about an hour and a half. Henderson said the fire start- ed when a pile of rags sitting behind a gas hot water heater caught fire and the fire spread to a nearby wood frame. Braley said Brown .is being assisted by family and friends. She lived alone, Braley said.

Planning Supervisor Lupita McClenning resigned Monday - the third top city planner to leave the job in the past three years. That followed the resignation earlier this month of Catherine Hartley, hired by the city just last fall. That leaves only one profes- sional planner on staff, and he's city planners depart been with the city less than a year. She is leaving to become a plan- "philosophical differences."'

JENKINS News-Leader The state attorney's office will not pursue charges that Fernandina Beach Commissioner John Crow violated the city's char- ter. There may be a "technical vio- lation," but "it was not intentional or willful," Assistant State Attorney Granville "Doc" Burgess found. Instead, Burgess found City Manager Bob Mearns and his staff culpable in the incident in which Crow conferred with a city employee about grievances she had against her supervisor, City Clerk Cassandra Mitchell. "I decline to prosecute," Burgess wrote in his disposition 1, ' statement. "While a techni- cal violation may have occurred by Crow, it was not Crow intentional and willful. The city manager and his staff bear some responsibility for any violation. Therefore, I am taking no further action in this matter." Crow requested the investiga- tion in June, saying publicly he had not violated the charter and that he wanted to be exonerated. S "I'm proud to see government 1\ work the way it's '-. designed to work," he said Tuesday. "I was trying to get a problem handled, Mearns and it was the only way I knew to go about it." In the disposition Burgess explains that he based his deci- sion on two principal facts, notably that Crow's initial contact with Lateisha Hooper, an employee in Mitchell's office, had been pre- cipitated by advice from Kim Elliott, an assistant to Mearns. Also, Mearns twice "delegated his authority over administrative service to an individual commis- sioner," Burgess said. After experiencing problems with Mitchell, Hooper "relayed her concerns to" Elliott, Burgess wrote. "Elliott advised her to make contact with Commissioner John Crow and the mayor. This advice was contrary to the city charter, which prohibits commissioners from dealing directly with city employees about 'administrative service'," Burgess wrote. "Mearns told Hooper he had CROW Continued on 3A Wife held in mans death SHANNON MALCOM News-Leader The wife of a 22-year-old Yulee man who died last week was arrest- ed Monday afternoon immediately following his burial, according to Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves. Rachel Marie Miner, 19, of Yulee was arrest- ed at Hughes Cemetery on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance. Seagraves said Rachel the arrest was a Miner result of the inves- tigation into the death of Richard Miner Jr. According to a police report, police and rescue workers arrived at a CR 108 home in Hilliard around 5:50 a.m. July 13, and found Richard Miner dead., An official cause of death has not been determined, but Seagraves said an accidental drug overdose is suspected. Investigators are awaiting the results of toxicol- ogy tests from the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office. DEATH Continued on 3A Embezzler lavished cash on co-worker BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader While she was embezzling more than $1 million from the Nassau County Clerkof Courts Office, Julie Mixon shared a joint savings account with a co-worker, loaned her money and took numerous gambling trips with her, police records show. Longtime clerk of courts employee Debra Harris Keiter, cur- rently a payroll specialist in the finance office where Mixon worked, also received a $5,000 cash transfer from Mixon she could not explain to authorities. Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators twice asked Keiter "point blank" if she stole funds from the office. Keiter adamantly denied any involvement in Mixon's scheme and agreed to a polygraph test, which was never given. No other clerk's office employ- ees are suspected of embezzling funds or assisting Mixon, but the FDLE said Tuesday the investiga- tion remains open. "As far as Debra Keiter... there is no evidence that the (joint) account was used to hide stolen funds," and she is not suspected of aiding or abetting Mixon's theft, FDLE spokeswoman Sharon Gogerty said Tuesday. Mixon, a finance supervisor who confessed in April to stealing from the office since 1996 arid later committed suicide, kept numerous bank accounts, some with family members, records show.

There is some good news in the ongoing search for causes, cures ALICE WALSH News-Leader t's the second leading cause of male cancer death, and as scary for men as breast can- cer is for women. I'm speak- ing of prostate cancer, a disease that hits one out of six men, if they live long enough. And while it progresses so slowly in the truly elderly that they will proba- bly die first of something else, it is still a threat and a killer for many. Itis especially common in .African-American men, who are 65 percent more likely to acquire it than Caucasians. Asian men are much luckier as long as they remain in Asia. They have the lowest rate among all nationalities, but that is not true if they live in the Western hemisphere. This suggests that there is something more going WEEKLY UPDATE FBHS registration Fernandina Beach High School will offer new student registration on July 21, 26 and 27 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. each day on a first come, first served basis.

The American Cancer Society, according to a story in HealthDay News, reported that a carefully controlled Italian study of more than 14,000 men over a number of years showed that supple- ments containing antioxidants found in green tea were 90 per- cent effective in preventing prostate cancer in men at high risk. But you'd have to drink about 12 cups a day to match the percentage of antioxidants in the supplements! Still, substituting green tea for coffee and iced tea for soft drinks much of the time can't hurt, and may help. The ACS also suggests cutting way down on red meat and fatty dairy products, and keeping one's weight down. Here is some really good news: Trials at Harvard Medical School with the mineral selenium have produced impressive results. Selenium has proved highly effective in slowing down the progression of prostate can- cer, and is thought to have a pre- ventive action, as well. In fact, the results have been so good cut- ting the rate of advanced prostate cancer by 50 to 70 percent that a supplement of 200 micrograms of selenium per day is recom- mended for all men at some risk. More trials continue; this looks very promising at this time. There's nothing that can be done about certain risk factors, such as race, family history or age, but by putting together and adopting the lifestyle factors that offer some degree of protection, the sum total may overcome nature's drawbacks. awalsh@fbnewsleadercom OBITUARIES Robert Lee Ellis Robert Lee Ellis of Amelia Island, passed away July 15,2005, after a long and courageous battle with Mantle Cell Lymphoma.

"Everybody's fine and they're coming home tomor- row," Ange Wallace of The Travel Agency in Fernandina Beach said Monday after hearing from a relative of one of the travelers. Wallace didn't book that tour but did help another local family get off the island before the category 4 hur- ricane hit late Sunday into early Monday. Cozumel, 30 miles wide and 16 across, took the brunt of the storm with winds of 135 miles per hour. The local newspaper reported heavy flooding and downed trees, light poles and antennas but no deaths in Emily's aftermath. Jan Pope of Aqua Explorers Dive Center on Fletcher Avenue, the dive shop that organized the trip for the 30 scuba enthusiasts, said she last spoke .to group leader Ed Gavron on Sunday. Pope said they had tried without luck to leave Cozumel, located in the Caribbean Sea off the Yucatan peninsula, since Saturday. On Sunday, American Airlines canceled its regularly scheduled flight After that, "they were boarding up the windows" and prepared to wait out Emily, she said. The group was staying at the Casa del Mar hotel, where the phone rang unanswered following the storm and where most American cell phones do not work. A travel web site described the property as a 3-star hotel popular with the dive crowd. Wallace helped one family get off the island before the 45-minute ferry service to the mainland was sus- pended Sunday. She credited their ingenuity in mak- ing it out. But Wallace had no doubts that the group left. behind had a.safe haven through the storm and would be well taken care of. "I would bet on it. Their whole livelihood is tourism," she said of Cozumel. "Most of the (hotels) are very new. Cozumel was just three or four hotels and a small dive town for years. The cruise industry is what put it on the map. The whole downtown area is pretty developed." She added, "I'm quite sure that like the rest of us in hurricane land, they have good plans." Emily killed four people in Jamaica before it hit Mexico, where it was indirectly responsible for three deaths. Downgraded to a category 2 after raking the Yucatan peninsula, Emily was expected to continue west through the Gulf of Mexico and strengthen before making landfall in northeastern Mexico or southern Texas Tuesday night. sperry@jbnewsleader.com FIRE Continued from 1A has been running the smoke detector program, using smoke detectors donated by local busi- nesses, for about three years. "The crew that put that smoke alarm in (Brown's home) can know they really made a differ- ence in someone's life," Cooper said. Cooper said firefighters also help people check their smoke detectors and change the batteries. Lightning may have been the cause of another Yulee house fire on Thursday, according to a report from Nassau County Fire- Rescue. The fire destroyed the attic of 86405 Cardinal Road, the home of Emmett and Shirley Blackmon. According to the report, Shirley Blackmon told firefighters she was inside the home about 7 p.m. with her husband and grandson when she heard lightning strike nearby. Some lights in the house went out, and when the Blackmons checked the circuit breakers they found some of the breakers had shut off. When they tried to turn them back on, the breakers con- . tinued tripping back off. Moments later, they smelled ,, .. SHANNON MALCOM/NEWS-LEADER Nassau County Fire Inspector Roger A.

No injuries were reported in either fire. smalcom@fbnewsleader com CROW Continued from 1A no authority over (Mitchell) and that she should take her concerns to the human resource director or the mayor," Burgess said. "This advice is contrary to the charter, Hooper dealing directly with the mayor, for the correct way would be for Mearns to bring (the matter) to the commission." . When Mearns granted a subse- quent request from Crow to speak directly with Hooper, he "again del- egated his authority over adminis- trative service to an individual com- missioner," Burgess said. Hooper reached Crow via tele- phone, and "he advised he must call back." Hooper then sent former mayor Greg Roland an e-mail, to which he never responded.

Richard Miner was a graduate of Fernandina Beach High School, and he was currently serving in the U.S. Army. Miner had served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he received the Army Commendation Medal in 2003. Seagraves said he believes Miner was in the process of leaving the military.

Crow instructed Hooper to "put her concerns in writing and for- ward those to him." After Crow received Hooper's letter, he gave it to Mearns, who "distributed the letter to the full commission." The lack of clear procedures regarding the city manager's authority over employees who work for the city clerk and city attorney also contributed to the incident, Burgess wrote. The city manager, city attorney and city clerk are all hired by the city commission and report direct- ly to the commissioners. According to the charter the city manager has no authority over the city clerk and city attorney, although all administrative service employees are under his purview. "Under the current charter it appears the correct procedure would be for the city manager to bring these matters before the city commission in a public meeting if he cannot otherwise resolve them. It appears inappropriate for him to be directing his authority to indi- vidual commissioners," Burgess ,wrote. Crow said he still has concerns about how commissioners deal with employees. 'Technically, every time a commissioner calls City Hall (and asks for the city manager) he's violating the charter because you're requesting of one of his sub- ordinates," Crow said. "I'm not going to run down to City Hall every time I want to talk to him." But rectifying procedural prob- lems would probably require a charter change, he said.

In return, the rural areas are getting much-needed cash. The cities are accommodated, since they have no room to dispose of their garbage within their bor- ders and use the rural areas as dumping grounds. A recent news report identi- fies the pros and cons of the trend. Nassau County accepts garbage from several other coun- ties in a controversial move that generates instant gratification in the form of new revenues. , However, it also puts pressure on the landfill on the West Side of our county. ' Landfills are not easy to open and operate. Stringent environ- mental laws force major cities such as Jacksonville lacking suit- able landfill space to pay some- one else to. take their refuse rather than bury it themselves. Other metropolitan areas such as New York City are in a similar squeeze. The Big Apple moves 50,000 tons of trash each day (yes, that's a mind-boggling e really number) to f landfills in New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylva- S~nia, South Carolina and Virginia. In fact, lastyear ", Virginia Steve alone import- Nicklas ed 7.8 million, tons of -. garbage. STEVE'S The trou- mRET ble is not on the side of PLACE the seller - other than the cost It is potentially with the receiving area, since landfills eventually become full and potentially leach effluent into water systems and cause pun- gent odors. In Nassau County, the landfill is projected to have another few years of life before it is full. Then, local officials will begin the ardu- ous taskof trying to locate'a new landfill site, get the approval of residents living near it and receive the necessary permits. Several years ago, Nassau stinks County officials opened their landfill to trash from outlying areas to generate needed rev- enues. The desperate posturing for revenues is hardly the case anymore, since escalating proper- ty values and new development have produced additional taxes and fees for the county. However, the contracts with the outside cities are still in effect, and Nassau County feels obligated to abide by the agree- ments and take the trash. Local officials say they need the out- side fees anyhow to help balance the landfill's budget and keep it from being a drain on other coun- ty funds. The problem lies in the future. The trash from outside the coun- ty will eventually take its toll. Nobody wants a landfill in their* back yard, so the task of identify- ing and creating another landfill site will not be easy. The money the county is receiving now will be a pittance in regard to the costs in closing the existing landfill (when it ireachez. capacity) and opening another. Like the opulent courthouse, runaway development along A1A and the undisciplined budgeting of funds, the landfill will likely become another offensive issue in the county. For years to come.

BENJAMIN PRICE/NEWS-LEADER 5,000 new jobs in lax port deal Officials with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd., a Tokyo-based logis- tics and ocean transportation com- pany, have announced their intent to sign a 30-year lease agreement Aug. 3 with the Jacksonville Port Authority IJL.ixpurI), providing the city's first direct container ship service between Jacksonville and Asia. The new agreement will cre- ate more than 1,800 new private 'sector port job- in Jacksonville, while supporting operations in trucking, distribution and related services could generate a total of 5,600 direct and indirect local jobs. Martin Associates, a Pennrsy;-lvia consulting firm, proj- ects the economic impact from this new business for the Jacksonville community to be $870 million annually, including wages paid to private sector port workers; local and state taxes paid by area companies engaged in the service; revenue earned by, businesses involved in the opera- tions; and local services and sup- plies purchased by maritime-relat- ed companies related to Asian trade. Officials with the Asian com- pany and Jaxport plan a ground- breaking ceremony on Jaxport property at Dames Point in north- east Jacksonville, where the new terminal will be built. The agreement creates about $7 million annually in new rev- enue for Jaxport. The Asian com- pany will become the largest Jaxport tenant by acres leased, annual revenue generated and number of cargo containers han- dlpd annually. It also will make Jaxport one of the largest container ports o n the U.S. East Coast i Under terms of the agreement, the Asian company will lease space at an undeveloped portion of JAXPORT's Dames Point Marine Terminal in north Jacksonville, about 10 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and about one mile from Jaxports Blount Island Marine Terminal. The estimated cost for terminal construction is approximately $200 million, including the cost for cranes and equipment. Construction will begin in the coming months and take about two years to complete.' IN BRIEF Tax-free holiday Florida's 'Tax-Free Holiday" begins Saturday and continues through July 31.

The FDLE report says Keiter tallyy told investigators Mixon nt her money over the years talking "about $1,000." But when the interviewer "con- onted" Keiter about Mixon's transfer of $5,000 into her South checking account in May 004, "the subject could not pro- ide an explanation as to why this transfer took place." It says Keiter "theorized" ixon might have routed pro- .eeds from the sale of Georgia property she inherited from her ather to avoid paying taxes on the ansaction, but adds she "was not ure of this explanation." Two days later, Keiter report- dly contacted one of the investi- ators and said that after checking er bank records she could not remember the reason for the trans- fer. Records show, Mixon and Keiter shared a savings account opened at Bank of America on Feb. 21, 2003. Both contributed $75 a pay period into the account to pay for trips, although Mixon also transferred money there from her checking account. . The end balance on April 14 was $1,996.18 and records show Mixon transferred $900 into the account on March 30. No other details or withdrawals are men- tioned in the report Keiter told investigators she accompanied Mixon on at least "three to four" trips to Las Vegas and "several" trips to western North Carolina. They stayed at the Excalibur Hotel in Vegas, where Mixon received complimentary rooms. Keiter said she also had a play- er's card from the Excaliber, but usually used Mixon's card because she would gain more credit and "comps." According to, the report, Keiter said Mixon usually played slot machines. Keiter told investiga- tors that "Mixon was generous with her family but did not spend or live extravagantly." Keiter's role at the clerk's office prior to April 2004 included picking up daily receipts kept in bank bags that eventually were taken to Mixon's office. After the bags were removed from a safe, the report said, Keiter or one of three other finance employees would count the receipts in front of a witness, sign the bank bag log and give the receipts to employee Patricia Goodall. Goodall would complete the deposit slips and provide them along with the receipts to Mixon for her review. During the FDLE interview, Keiter was shown several cash count forms she had signed. In each instance, the forms and the corresponding deposit slips con- tained different figures. The report says Keiter could not understand how this hap- pened, then was asked "point blank" if she ever took any cash. Keiter denied this and agreed to take a polygraph test. Later in the interview, Keiter was again asked if she stole funds and replied, "No!"

During the investigation, Mixon confessed to destroying deposit slips and receipts and cre- ating false checks to cover her tracks. The report said thefts occurred no matter who was transporting the funds to Mixon's office. Clerk of Court John Crawford said Tuesday he was aware of the FDLE report's mention of Mixon's joint savings account with Keiter, and Mixon's transfer of $5,000 into Keiter's checking account. "There's' certainly no law against a joint savings account or checking account," he said. "I have no indication that it was being used for any illegal purposes, or was related to their job at the clerk's office." Crawford also said no employ- ees at the clerk's office have been disciplined related to the theft investigation. "There was no indication that there was any criminal involve- ment by any other clerk employ- ee," he said. Keiter could not be reached for , comment. bprice@fbnewsleadercom Mixon generous with family BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader Julie Mixon made thousands of dollars in "questionable deposits" to joint accounts with relatives, an investigation into embezzlement at the Nassau County Clerk of Courts Office shows. Mixon, a longtime employee at the office, confessed to years of theft in April, then committed sui- cide in a Jacksonville hotel room. The clerk of courts office has said the theft exceeds $1 million. According to reports obtained from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Mixon held at least two separate joint accounts with rel- atives. There were "as many as 75 ques- tionable deposits" in a joint Bank of America account with Mixon's sister, Mary Strickland Durrance, including $9,900 in September 2003, $3,722 and $3,000 in October 2003 and more than $7,000 in deposits that December. A joint account with her brother, Ashley Harrell Strickland, opened in September 2004, contained more than $23,000 in October 2004. The end balance on April 7, 2005, was $1,149.33. The report describes these as "significant non-payroll deposits" and says they are not accounts where Mixon normally deposited her paycheck. Bank of America also supplied the mortgage and loan papers on two mortgages Mixon held for two homes, one in Yulee and one in Fernandina Beach. Mixon transferred one of the homes to her sister before her death in April. The report does not mention any interviews or correspondence between investigators and Mixon's siblings. The report does refer to an inter- view with Mixon's nephew, Kenneth Shane Strickland. Airline records show Strickland and Mixon flew to Las Vegas on April 10, and returned April 18, two week's before Mixon's suicide. When asked about these and other trips, Kenneth Strickland said Mixon gave him about $300 a day to play blackjack and poker. He said the Excalibur hotel provided a free room to Mixon on the trip, but he said Mixon was not a heavy gam- bler, mostly played slots and "enjoyed the sights in Las Vegas." Kenneth Strickland was living with Mixon at the time of her death, but said he had no indication that she was despondent or suicidal. He said there were a "few hundred dol- lars lying around the house" when she died, but no note. The nephew subsequently spent the money, the report says, and stated he had no knowledge about her bank accounts or financial affairs. He said Mixon would loan him small amounts of money from time to time, but he could not elaborate on the amounts. The FDLE has said efforts to recoup stolen funds would be a civil matter pursued by the county. Clerk of Courts John Crawford said Monday the county's attorneys will advise the county concerning recovery prospects. bprice@fbnewsleadercom Valley Boys CLASSIC CHILDREN'S CLOTHING lfC* Sales Tax Holiday SALE!

JULY 20,2005/NEWS-LEADER Crane Island redux The issue of Crane Island devel- opment is like that proverbial bad penny or bent dime; it just keeps showing up in one's pocket It has been interesting to see the respec- tive governing bodies of the Fernandina Beach City Commission and the Nassau County Commission each trying to hand off to the other the hard decisions required of this general- ly unpopular proposal. Each body wants to point to the other as responsible for approving the devel- opment. Turned down by county com- missioners in 2004, the Crane Island owner/developer subse- quently entered into an agreement with Jack Healan and the Amelia Island Co. (AIC). The political tide has clearly turned against those who oppose the changes to the Nassau County Future Land Use Map (FLUM), and those against the required increase in density in the Coastal High Hazard zone requested by the developers. The project proposal has definitely been placed on the fast track. , Since the Amelia Island Co. obtained a vested financial interest in the upscale development pro- posed for Crane Island, there have been more executive sessions, joint city/county meetings, more.closed- door legal discussions and more special effort dedicated to devel- oping a city/county memorandum of understanding than any other single issue in perhaps decades All this special political activity has been conducted without public hearing, and with developers as the only non-government partici- pation allowed. The public has been pretty much barred from making comments. The draft of the Nassau County proposed memorandum of under- standing is now a matter of public record, and it reads pretty much like an unqualified endorsement of the project. All this before any required public hearings on the matter. Crudely, it reads like the "fix is in!" The respective city commis- sioners and county commissioners should individually and collective- ly be discouraged from ratifying any suchagreement until there are open public hearings and the devel- oper is successful in obtaining approval by vote of the county com- mission for the FLUM and density changes required of this project. To do otherwise is just plain wrong. It raises too many questions as to the efficacy of decisions being made by the respective governing bodies without public participation. Is this the kind of special city/coun- ty cooperation available to just any developer, or is this consideration reserved for select individuals with- in the community? Perhaps it is well meaning to come to some sort of intergovern- mental understanding as to how to best handle this development issue. However, barring public participa- tion until the majority of issues are settled, and endorsed by both the city and county, supports the pub- lic perception that our local gov- ernment is somewhat tawdry and sordid. This is unfortunate in that I still believe the majority of our elected commissioners are very considerate of the positions expressed by county and city resi- dents. The public needs to let them know that although a written inter- governmental agreement may seem reasonable,-it is wronghead- Ill] ;~ ~ r~~wi ~ :111 ii Atlantic Custom Exteriors -CEL-L# - TOLL FREE (877) 321-1968 * ROLLING SHUTTERS * ACCORDION SHUTTERS * STORM PANELS * SCREEN ROOM * POOL ENCLOSURES * VINYL SIDING PAINTING * REPLACEMENT WINDOWS * RESCREENING REPAIR * SEAMLESS GUTTERS '_ SERVING FERNANDINA BEACH AMELIA ISLAND , AND SURROUNDING AREAS - 3-F EEE IMA I p NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Commission of the City of Fernandina Beach, Florida, will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 2, 2005 at 6:00 p.m., in the City Commission Chambers, 204 Ash Street, Femandina Beach, Florida, on the pro- posed Ordinance No. 2005-21 entitled as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 2005-21 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COM- MISSION OF THE CITY OF FERNANDI- NA BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NUMBER. 2004-28, THE APPROVED 2004/2005 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET, BY AUTHORIZING AN INCREASE TO REVENUE AND EXPEN- DITURES AND THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS, PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH BY: CASSANDRA P. MITCHELL ITS: CITY CLERK ed and undermines the precepts of government in the sunshine with carefully considered public partic- ipation. Gordon Reilly Fernandina Beach Won't get fooled again I hope the county commission- ers are familiar with the old adage, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." Here comes the city of Fernandina with another proposal designed to prey upon those fortunate enough to not be under their taxing onus. The city proposes to merge the city fire services with county fire services on the island and create one munic- ipal service unit (MSU). The city in floating this propos- al notes the benefits of economy of scale. Of course, they don't say to whom the benefits will accrue. Once before they said there was a benefit in buying the water com- pany and the economy of scale argument was used in part After purchase, they immediately imposed a 25 percent surcharge on the county residents served over the objections of the county who said the surcharge was illegal. So, anyone who now believes the, city is looking to provide a benefit to the county with this MSU propos- al is ready to be conned just as they were had with the water company deal. It is not difficult to see through, this sham proposal. The county area served by the fire district on the island is pretty much built out and is almost entirely composed of residential structures. The city on the other hand is responsible for a port, many large industrial proj- ects, an airportwhere they wish to put a new fire station to support some more (unwanted) growth and more residential subdivisions are in the works. Simply stated, the city is looking for an additional source offunds to underwrite its fire pro- tection needs so now they come; calling upon the county with this scheme, which is a tax increase for some county residents concealed "Copyrighted Material\- Syndicated Content' * Available from Commercial News Providers" . -.

This city has been infamous for failure to enforce its ordinances under a succession of city managers and city commis- sioners. But Lindes issued more than 100 citations of ordinance violations' in his first two months. Way to go. A number were for violations of the city's sign.ordinance, producing immediate reaction, and action by the city commission. Did it praise Lindes and his staff? Nope. Instead, it appointed a "blue-rib- bon" panel to review the city's sign ordinance, fearful the ordinance is "outdated" (City relents on sign enforcement," July 8). Two suggestions: First, abandon that blue-ribbon proposal and appoint another panel to find out why city ordinances aren't being enforced. (The city had no code enforcement officer for two years prior to Lindes' appointment, as one glaring exam- ple.) Second, vote for candidates in the next city election who won't just pass ordinances and forget them, but will provide the neces- sary help to make sure they're enforced. Robert H. Spiegel Fernandina Beach Rough spots Take a moment and review our city's mission statement The first thing you read is that Fernandina Beach is dedicated to the provision of high quality munic- ipal services. It appears as though this part of the mission statement needs to be removed. All one needs to do is to drive down Eighth Street or AlA and see the condition of the vegetation in the medians and along the shoulders. The promise of the mission -thtrhefffland the lainmgs r rdint -Piiahdidria Beach' on the web site and its abundance of natural beau- ty do not seem to be fulfilled unless you are describing a wilderness area. Is this the wonderful place in which to live, work and plan for your future? Take an auto tour of our town and note all the areas that need attention and improvement in order to make Fernandina Beach the place we read about in the mission statement and on the web site. If the tasks are unmanageable for city services and staff, perhaps out- sourcing to private contractors may be an option. In summary, it is unfair to the citizens and taxpayers of Fernandina Beach, as well as its visitors, to observe some of the rough spots of this city when they are entitled to expect better. Fred Voss Fernandina Beach Where's the punchline? In a paltry attempt at humor, columnist John L. Crawford com- pared the record-breaking tem- peratures in Chicago 10 years ago to the heat Ron Zook would feel from University of Illinois fans. What he fails to acknowledge in his closing shot ("Bowden a real- life Matlock," July 13) is the dev- astating loss of life incurred by Chicagoansin one of the deadliest heat waves in American history. In just seven days more than 700 people lost their lives as the heat index topped 126 degrees. An informative and attention- grabbing book on how such a dis- '"aste'r could have' taken place as recent as 1995 is Eric Klinenberg's Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago. Perhaps if Mr. Crawford were interested in facts he would do a little research before shooting off jokes. But with each passing week it becomes painfully more obvious he has no such aspi- rations.

CIRCULATION DIRECTOR TOM WOOD CHAIRMAN DINK NESMITH PRESIDENT. -N I Community The views expressed by the columnists and letter writers on this page are their own and do notnec- essarily reflect the views of the newspaper, its owners or employee& EDITORIAL Put the horse before the cart approved last week a resolution waiving $13,288 in city building and other fees for construction of a private home as "afford- able housing." We support the objectives of the city and BRASH, a group of Realtors and builders that initi- ated an affordable housing program. But we wish the city had put in place firm rules and guidelines before it began subsidizing private citizens in the purchase of homes. We urged more than two years ago that the city develop a strategy for providing affordable hous- ing. That followed a special committee's report recommending specific steps to that end. But, typical of the administration of City Manager Bob Mearns, the city dawdled in its plan- ning, then rushed to approve an ill-considered scheme. For example, commissioners waived a fee for construction of a house at 909 Vernon St., but there already is a house there. What is the correct address of the property to be developed as afford- We think thepublic hasha iight to kn hw 6ho is selling this property and who is buying. Neither the city nor BRASH has provided the name of the seller or qualifying homeowner. Don't we deserve to know which citizens are benefiting from this public subsidy? There should be limits on when these homes can be resold, and for how much, to maintain, them as affordable housing. As approved by the city commission, the buyer,of this $125,000 house can resell it for whatever amount as long as he or she repays the waived fees plus 6 percent interest Given escalating home prices on the island, the buyer of this house could do that and still make a quick buck by reselling it. . Also, the program could hasten "gentrification" of this mostly black neighborhood and force resi- dents to sell their homes. It would be an irony if an affordable housing program helped dismantle neighborhoods and dis- place longtime residents who no longer find it affordable to live here because of rising property taxes and other financial burdens. Mearns told commissioners in a memo Friday that he will meet with BRASH to develop a strate- gy "to provide affordable housing for the future work force within the community as the backbone of our community teachers, nurses, firefighters, policemen cannot afford to live in the neighbor- hoods they serve." That's what the affordable housing committee and this newspaper said more than two years ago. We suggest Mearns revisit the committee's report and invite those knowledgeable about this issue back to the table to plan an appropriate program. We don't have one now. COMMUNITY THANKS Public servants appreciated One hears alot of negative publicity regarding our elected public servants. I am writing this letter to pub- licly acknowledge the fact that, over the years, every time I have solicited the advice and help from our elected officials, local, state or federal, I have always had a good and helpful response from them. Recently I had a major problem in trying to get my passport renewed through the Department of Naturalization and Immigration and literally ran into a brick wall. Out of desperation I called Honorable Aaron Bean, our state representative, who was very considerate and called Sen. Mel Martinez' office immediately. His personal assistant, Mr. Hiram Barrosa, took my case and within a few days I received a call from Ms. Roberts, customer service representative, at the Miami office. Within a short period of 48 hours the problem was solved. They not only found my old passport that was said to have been lost, but issued me a new passport immediately. I would, therefore, like to express my personal thanks and appreciation to Rep. Aaron Bean, Sen. Mel Martinez and his personal assistant, Mr. Hiram Barrosa, for giving me assistance and help in the time of my need. Their actions reflect a great credit to their public service and renew my hope and confi- dence in our elected officials. Farid Ullah, M.D. Fernandina Beach LETTERS WELCOME Send letters by e-mail to: mpamell@fbnews leader.com or mail letters to: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 766. Fernandina Beach, FL 32035 n the 1992 presidential campaign, James Carville, chief Democratic strategist, had a sign in what he called "The War Room," that read, "It's the economy, stupid!" Implicit in that decla- ration was that no matter how hard the opposition tried to divert the electorate's attention to other issues, Democratic candidates should focus, "like a laser beam," on the country's economic problems. It worked. Today, one envisions a similar banner hanging on the wall of a particular city commissioner's real estate office, though somewhat modified: "It's prop- erty taxes, stupid! Economics, regardless!" This time the banner's wording is not meant to help elect a candidate, but to develop an island, Crane Island. .Developers, and their disciples, have successfully used this mantra for years, particularly in the 1950s and '60s, with impunity. Who could challenge their argument, "Let us build it, and they will come; they will come, and they will pay; they will pay, and you pay less." Who could challenge it.? Not many. Not many, that is, until the numbers started pouring in, and many communities, once growth-aggressive, began to add up the costs, both financial and psycho- logical, along with the revenues. The promised bene- fits evaporated along with the character and identity of the communities. Fortunately, many progressive communities have rejected the "Economics, regardless" argument and have maintained their character and uniqueness even when confronted with small armies of special interest individuals and groups. I have always con- sidered Fernandina Beach one of these progressive communities. Just imagine what this city might look like today if the "Economics, regardless" argument had pre- vailed concerning the following projects: The construction of an oil storage "tank farm" on Tiger Island and the north end of Amelia Island, in the early 1980s. A Holiday Inn motel located in the heart of what is now Main Beach Park (mid-1980s). Recently, a super Wal-mart on Eighth Street, just south of the city limits. Increase the area of R-3, multifamily zoning and raise the building height limit in order to accommodate more high-rise condominiums. The late 1970s and into the 1980s, numerous attempts by a developer to build condo- miniums on Crane Island. In each of the above, pro- ponents argued that their proj- ects would either add jobs to Ron Sapp the local economy, or benefit ... the local economy by bringing additional consumers to the THENO area, or make a stay at the 'SPIN' ZONE beach more affordable and accessible. Good arguments all, but their main argument, their primary selling point, was that their project would increase the tax base. Banners flew and loud chanting could be heard late into the night "It's the property taxes, stupid! Economics, regardless!" But in each case, members of the community organized and forced community leaders to examine accompanying issues, like traffic, hurricane evacua- tion, impact on surrounding areas and the ever-abid- ing questions, "Is this what we want our community to look like, to be like, five or 10 years from now?" And in each case, the community said, "No.". Now, developers, and at least one city commis- sioner, bring this same, tired 1950s argument to us again in the latest attempt to develop Crane Island. The "Economics, regardless" commissioner points to Crane Island revenue numbers as though, it's a stand-alone project. He says that we won't even notice the 169 homes, and they'll have almost no impact at all on services. Well, I wonder what happens to demand for serv- ices when the Crane Island homes are joined with other developments, and possible developments, projected for lands surrounding the airport, e.g., Lynndale Lakes (23 acres; 230 units) Isle de Mai subdivisions (70 acres; 195 units), Townes of Amelia (304 units). How many additional firefighters/para- medics will be needed to service these areas? How many new police officers? What will the impact be on recreational services parks, beach accesses, etc.? What will the impact be on traffic and other infrastructure water and sewer services? "Hey," the commissioner shouts, as he waves his banner, Carville-like, "Don't let these tree-huggers distract you! Remember, it's the property taxes, stu- pid! Economics, regardless!" I suppose, also, the commissioner believes that the 90-slip marina dredged out of the island's center will be little noticed. And will the sewer line be attached to the bridge connecting Fernandina Beach and Crane Island, or will it rest atop the wetlands, or under them? I'm sure we won't even know it's there. There has been some attempt to undermine the credibility of the "economics, regardless" commis- sioner's figures. I accept them, though, for what they are, highly speculative, inflated "designed-for-spin- ning" numbers arrived at, not by the commissioner, but by the developer the commissioner is simply the messenger. The attempt to undermine comes from the fear that, when considered alone, the numbers will have a powerfully positive impact on the people of Fernandina Beach. That's true. But the recent histo- ry of this progressive community gives me hope. Hope that, along with the tax revenues, residents consider the costs. There is a cost to a progressive community when a dune system is destroyed by a development, when land containing more than a thousand trees is swept clean and when a pristine island adjacent to that community is covered over by houses, no matter how charming. So, the next time you see the "Economics, regardless" commissioner waving his banner, or chanting his motto, tell him that, while economics are a consideration, it's the "regardless" part that's unacceptable. The costs are too great Ron Sapp served on the Fernandina Beach City Commission for 21 years. His column appears regularly. H is parents knew when he was born that he would be a small person.

He left the east, returned to his recently purchased ranch in the North Dakota badlands, hired cowboys and organ- ized a cattle drive. This little, bespectacled city dude rode into the roundup wearing sheep-fur chaps, a silver-coated hunting knife from Tiffany and a hat so big it cov- ered his eyes. You can imagine the reaction from the hardened cowpunchers gathered around the campfire. They just knew they had a baby-sitting job on their hands. Not for long, though, because he earned their respect the hard way very quickly by learning to ride and rope as well as they, and herd cattle like an Australian shepherd. He sealed their admiration one day when they all walked into a bar and he ordered a cup of coffee while his companions had the local rotgut. A big cowboy sitting at a corner table saw this little guy drinking coffee, made fun of him and tried to force him to drink a shot of the hard stuff. This burley loudmouth was knocked out cold with one punch. Our guy had become a true Rough Rider. His cowboy companions taught him something, too.

One of his first achievements when, at 43, he became the youngest president of the United States was to use the Forest Reserves Act, empowering the president to set aside public lands as national forests. During his seven-year term, he increased federal land reserves from about 40 million acreg to almost 200 million acres. He created the U.S. Forest Service to manage the efficient use of our nation's natural resources rather than for private exploitation and uncontrolled development.

Port commissioners may get raise SHANNON MALCOM News-Leader Nassau County Ocean, Highway & Port Authority Commissioners could receive a salary of up to $24,000 a year if they choose to give themselves a pay raise. Port Authority attorney Marshall E. Wood told commis- sioners July 13 that the state leg- islature authorized the pay raise this spring. A bill sponsored by state Rep. Aaron Bean, a Fernandina Beach Republican, included the pay raise provision. "Hopefully, you guys can get a well-deserved raise," Wood told commissioners. Port Authority commissioners are currently paid $800 a month. The new law authorizes a salary up. to $2,000 a month. Wood said previously the com- missioners had to ask permission from the state legislature in order to grant themselves a pay raise of any amount. Wood said commissioners might not approve a pay raise soon. Florida Ports Council and the $1,252.90 annual dues for the Florida Ports Conference. "You're getting your money's worth," Schwec told commission- ers, saying membership in the two groups gives the Port Authority access to grant money and ensures the Port of Fernandina is repre- sented by lobbying efforts of the groups. The commissioners also unan- imously agreed to reject three bids for a lighting project that will be completed by Nassau Terminals staff and paid for by the port authority. Schwec said the project includes replacing two bullhorns and four light bulbs. "Nassau Terminals will provide the labor and equipment free of charge, but the port authority buys the (equipment)," Schwec said. "I think it'll save you money, I think it will save time." Schwec estimated the project would cost $1,500, 'compared to bids for the project priced as high as $15,000. smalcom@fjbewsleader.com Three years ago, he said, they voted to give themselves a decrease in pay, from $1,000 to $800 a month. "I think they deserve a raise," Wood said Tuesday. "The purpose (of being on the port authority) is not to make a living ... but they should be compensated for their effort." Port Authority commissioners, elected by Nassau County voters, are Ed Gandy, chair, Ron Braddock, Carl Cahill, Danny Leeper and Jennifer Kelly- Sheffield. Salaries are paid from Port Authority revenue. Business at the Port of Fernandina is on the upswing, according to Val Schwec, general manager of Nassau Terminals. In his report to the port author- ity, Schwec said the amount of cargo handled at the port last month was 43,645 tons, an increase of more than 10,000 tons from June 2004. "As predicted, last month was very good," Schwec said. "We fin- ished pretty strong last quarter, and we expect more of the same for July." Schwec also said he is fielding, business inquiries for the port, with at least two "solid" prospects. The port currently serves 264 ships. "I think we're trending pretty good so far," he said.

YMCA cares for children HEATHER A. PERRY News-Leader Statistics show that as many as 15 million children are left unsu- pervised during non-school hours. The McArthur Family YMCA pro- vides a safe, fun alternative through their after-school and preschool programs and summer camps. Since 1988, the McArthur Family YMCA has offered a wealth of programs for children. From infants through high school, they can build positive relationships with caring adults in a secure, com- fortable environment. Activities for kids include karate, volleyball, t-ball and much more. At Camp Imnmokalee, a 125- acre resident camp on the north shore of Lake Brooklyn in Keystone Heights, children can enjoy swimming, kayaking, fish- ing and many other summertime activities.' "The Y is a place where every member of the community can par- ticipate and feel welcome," said office manager Cherry Skarpalezos. "The YMCA does not want to turn anyone away due to inability to pay." According to ymca.net, nearly 50 percent of children in YMCA Child Care come from families whose annual income is less than $25,000 and 40 percent come from single-parent homes. During last year's "Really Caring" Campaign, $328,800 in scholarships was provided, reduc- ing fees for programs, member- ship and childcare for 491 people.

Describing the project, Superintendent Barbara Goodman said, "The mission of the National Park Service is to preserve and protect the places and stories of importance to the American peo- ple. These exhibits will relate the history ol the planliaiuhri cra in Florida and the life stories of the people who lived daily with the institution of slavery. There is noth- ing quite like this site anywhere else in the National Park Service. "Because the structures have survived and the site history has been thoroughly researched and interpreted, visitors to Kingsley, Plantation cangeta strong sense of Florida plantation life as it was lived by both slave and slave owner. This is an opportunity for the public to comment on how the history of the plantation era will be present- ed at the park." Exhibit planning began in 2003 and the park sought public com- ment in the spring of 2004 on the exhibit content and presentation style prior to beginning work on the current portion, which includes text, graphics and design. Incorporated into the exhibits are themes such as daily life on a plan- tation for free and enslaved fami- lies, plantation economy and agri- culture, and the life stories of Zephaniah Kingsley and Anta Madgigeen Jai Kingsley. For those who cannot attend the open house session, the exhib- it plan is accessible from the Timucuan Preserve website by vis- iting http://www.nps.gov/timu and clicking on the "Kingsley Plantation Exhibits" link for more details.

PERRY News-Leader Barnabas volunteer Darlene Scott's smiling face has been behind the cash register at the New To New thrift shop for the past seven or eight years. "I like to think that in this small way, I am helping the less fortu- nate in this community," says Scott. Barnabas Director Susan Holden-Dodge says what makes Scott "such an outstanding con- tributor to Barnabas is her willing- ness to serve with projects such as our New to You Magic Fashion Show. She organized the models, helped pick out clothing, and was at the heart of our successful fund- raising event." Holden-Dodge adds that Scott "is an outstanding advocate for Barnabas at many levels. She is an example of volunteerism at its best." Scott shares her Amelia Island home with her husband, Robert. The couple has three children and seven grandchildren. Scott's husband is a retired Exxon employee. Exxon con- tributes $2,000 a year to Barnabas through its Volunteer Involvement Program for Scott's accrued hours. The New To You thrift shop col- lects donations of personal prop-, erty for distribution to Barnabas clients and for resale to the public to raise funds for other operations. The Barnabas Center is a pr- vate, non-profit social service agency whose mission is to assist families in financial crisis with shel- ter, food, and basic necessities.

Erika Lynne Rivera, 29, of Nassauville a cashier at the Flash Foods at 925 South 14th St, and Betty Gail Kardel, 55, of Fernandina Beach, a cashier at the Flash Foods at 2809 Atlantic Ave. were each issued a notice to appear in court for allegedly selling alco- hol to a minor. If convicted, they could face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. The investigation took place Saturday evening, when police used a 16-year-old informant to check 12 Fernandina Beach stores for whether cashiers would sell alcohol to a minor. . According to a police report, the informant attempted to buy one bottle of Smirnoff Ice, an alco- holic beverage, at the Flash Foods store on Atlantic Avenue and the Flash Foods store on South 14th Street. Police say Rivera and Kardel both saw the informant's identifi- cation stating he or she was under- age, but sold the alcohol to the informant anyway. The operation was part of a nationwide effort on the part of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and law enforcement agencies to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the 21 Minimum Drinking Age Law. The law, which changed the minimum legal drinking age from 18 to 21, was passed July 17,1984. Wayne Woolery, president of the MADD Northeast Chapter, esti- mates the law has saved more than 21,000 lives by keepingn) alcohol ... out of the hands of those it hurts the most" In Jacksonville, of 44 stores that were checked, the underage informant was able to purchase alcohol from four. FBPD Officer Marty Scott said police will conduct more checks in the future. "I've always wanted to be a part of something like this, so I was happy to have that chance," Scott said. '"We've done checks in the past and we'll be doing more in the future ... just to keep every- one on their toes."

I am a columnist, which means I'm employed to give my opinion on a vari- ety of topics. And guess what, Wyatt Sexton's antics on June 13 made for a hot topic one I would have been remiss in not address- ing. After all, 20 years old or not, Sexton chose to become a public figure when he signed up to play football at FSU. So of course his antics were going to be written about and, gasp, even made fun of. I was then, and still am, of the opinion that Sexton was on some sort of mind-alter- ing drug that day. Does that make it fact? No, which means that I haven't given a false report, only my opinion. If Sexton truly has Lyme disease, as Dr. S. Chandra Swami of Hermitage, Pa., has reported, that's too bad (by the way, is there something wrong with the doctors in Tallahassee? Why Pennsylvania? Fishy, to say the least). If the incident was the result of drugs, which, in my opinion, it seemed to be, that's also too bad but incred- ibly irresponsible on Sexton's part. Keep the letters coming; we like fresh opinions. But you're wasting your time telling me to stifle mine. Oh, and just so it's no longer a mnystery. I i aduat- ed from the Universityof North Florida with a B.A. in communications and a busi- ness minor. My favorite col- lege teamnis North South East West Florida School of Melodic Music. I like brunettes, long walks on the beach... never mind... Speaking of Sexton, I was on my way to Tallahassee, apology letter in hand, when I was bitten by a deer tick and forgot where I was. Funny how I didn't seem to notice a rash or had no prior pain in my joints (no pun intended). Woke up in Lakeland, where apparently the streets are paved with gold and every man is hand- some and lives in a mansion. Some people are so lucky... Since I don't hail from Lakeland, I do occasionally make a mistake. I reported that AJ. Nicholson was a burglar when he merely resisted arrest and was1 nabbed for drunk driving. Sorry for the misinforma- tion... Breaking news: Arnold Palmer decided about five years ago to build one of his signature golf courses in, guess where, Yulee. Must be something about our swamps and trailers that appealed to him... I had this spot reserved to completely belittle the next University of Florida player who claimed he was God or smacked around his girl- friend. As luck would have it, that didn't happen. So an ex- Gator coach will have to do. South Carolina head foot- ball coach Steve Spurrier reportedly has revoked the scholarships of a handful of players to make room for better ones. The State, a South Carolina paper, report- ed that Gamecock wide receiver Grayson Mullins had his scholarship taken away for no apparent reason other than he isn't very good. Grayson told the news- paper that Spurrier said there are five more such cases. Shame on you, Steve, The university should be obligat- ed to honor a four-year agreement with a player who could have decided to play Elsewhere. Besides, Spurrier should be dipping into his vast pool of troublemakers for extra scholarships. John L. Crawford's column appears Wednesdays.

Fernandina beat the host team 1-0 but lost its next two games and was eliminated from the state tournament. 15-year-old Allstars open with win, drop a pair in state tournament BETH JONES News-Leader Rain postponed the state tournament opener Thursday for Fernandina Beach Babe Ruth's 15-year- old Allstars. The team returned to Mandarin Friday morning to take on host Mandarin Sports Association. "We hurt them early," said Jack Southerland, man- ager for the 15-year-olds. Fernandina Beach broke the scoreless standoff in the top of the third inning. Andrew Wood singled and Jeff Whiting came in to pinch run. Jarrett Sinclair beat the throw to first base to knock in Whiting for the only run Fernandina Beach would need as they shut out the hosts 1-0. . 'The pitching was great, we played great defense," Southerland said. After a two-hour break,. Fernandina Beach was back on the field to take on Chiefland, a team that was three outs from picking up a win on Thursday before lightning and rain canceled play for the night. Chiefland had to finish its game before facing Fernandina Beach. : "The winner's bracket also gets a day's rest," Southerland said. 'i But because of the rain delay on Thursday, :' . Fernandina Beach had to play a doubleheader on Friday. Up 7-5 in the sixth inning, Fernandina Beach gave up a couple of walks and three runs to Chiefland. Fernandina Beach came up short, losing 8-7. "It was a heartbreaker," Southerland said. "We just didn't quite have enough. We walked in the win- ning run. We gave it to them." Offensively, "we knocked the cover off the ball," Southerland said. One "bad inning" for Fernandina Beach on -=-. --- Saturday was all Normandy needed. The team capi- talized on the miscues and won 4-2 to eliminate Fernandina from its run for the state title. Fernandina Beach gave up just one earned run but three unearned runs in the fourth ruined a 2-1 lead. "In the sixth inning, the bases were loaded with two outs," Southerland said. "Jarred Carlton hit it to the fence, but the guy made a great catch. Five more feet and it would have been a grand slam." Southerland said his team had chances to win in the seventh but "couldn't get a big hit. We couldn't get a...... . break," he said. But Southerland said his players never quit. S "I'm proud of those kids," he said. "We were play- ing towns pulling from 100 kids. "This team set the bar . pretty high for the next couple of years. In 21 innings played, we led 17 or 18 of them." . Southerland said he was thankful for the fan sup- " port his team received during the district and state " tournament. Fernandina Beach clinched the district . crown to advance to the state tournament. -'. .. ' "It didn't matter where we went, even practice '" *, games, we always had more people," Southerland " said.

FLORIDA 3-year-olds 1-2 in state tournament E Fernandina Beach Babe Ruth 11-year-old Allstars place third in the state, 3B The 13-year-old Allstar base- ball team from Fernandina Beach Babe Ruth traveled to Perry over the weekend for the state tournament. The local boys went 1-2 in the tournament, plac- ing fifth in the state. Fernandina was shut out 6-0 in its opener against host Perry Thursday, but rebounded Friday to beat Williston 6-5. On Saturday, Fernandina was eliminated 10-0 by Tallahassee. Against Perry, Cameron Rose and Patrick Garvin contributed the team's two hits. It was apitch- ing duel for Harrison Yonn and Garvin, who walked just three batters in seven innings. Rose turned a double play to close out the first inning when he caught a fly ball at second and caught the runner at second off base. In the Williston game, with Fernandina trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Carson Buchanan hit a line drive double to right field, which drove in Jonathon Beaton and sparked a three-run two-out rally. Trent Luman went in to pinch run for Buchanan, who pulled a leg muscle while running to sec- ond base. Ltiman scored off a stolen base and a passed ball. Jackson Selvidge walked, stole a base and then scored the final run of the sixth inning on a Myles Rabant hit. Fernandina took a 5-3 lead. Williston answered with two runs in the seventh to tie the game and force an extra inning. In the bottom of the eighth, Yonn scored the winning run. He singled, stole two bases and then scored on a throwing error by the pitcher, who tried to pick him off. Luman, Chaz Skarpalezos, Yonn, Rose and Beaton all con- tributed hits. The defense committed just S one error in seven innings. In the third game against Tallahassee, Fernandina Beach was out-hit and succumbed in the sixth inning to the 10-run rule. Fernandina's defense had just three errors in that game. "The kids hustled and played hard," Manager Lee Skarpalezos said. "We had a good time and learned a lot. The next time we will be more prepared." The 13-year-old Allstars were the district champions.

Competing against the top teams from the entire North Florida area, Fernandina surprised teams that, in some cases, had been together for four years. The most common statement made during this tour- nament was "Where did these guys come from?" In the first matchup of the tournament, Fernandina played the host team, Levy Park, the district winner from the Tallahassee area. With Timmy (T.Roz.) Roszell pitching a two-hitter with 10 strikeouts, Fernandina upset the local favorite 2-1 behind Brennan (Mac Attack) Beckham's game-winning RBI. Outstanding defensive play from Connor (Bird Legs) Nelson and Dylan (Scooter) Kelly helped seal the victory. Fernandina then matched up with eventual tour- nament winner Ponte Vedra in the second game. After getting behind early, Manager Mark Manning elect- ed to go to his bench quickly and save as much pitch- ing as possible. Fernandina lost 19-4 with the only highlight being the defensive play of Logan (The Italian Stallion) Vendola. The next team up for Fernandina was Winthrop Park. Avery (A Train) Womble and Kyle (Sunshine) Tucker pitched a combined strong game to allow Fernandina to take a 10-2 win. Brendan (Bubba) Manning led the way by scoring four runs, going 3- for4 hitting and having 2 RBI. Fernandina then had the tough assignment of playing the early game the next morning and staying, if successful, for another game immediately following in the humid Tallahassee heat. With the coaching staff stressing, it was time.to take a team out early, and the players responded. Behind another strong pitch- ing performance by Roszell, Fernandina put Madison Park down 15-2. Zach (Nickel) Camp broke the game wide open with a Grand Slam home run. Will (Willy) SUBMITTED PHOTOS Fernandina Beach Babe Ruth's 1 1-year-old Allstars competed in Tallahassee recently. The team, above celebrating a win, went 3-2 and finished third in the state among the eight teams. Right top, Will Woods chases a foul pop-up. Right bottom, Brendan Manning lays down a sacri- fice bunt for Fernandina Beach. Woods had a great day at the plate going 3-for-3., Fernandina was then forced to turn around and play Julington Creek for second place in the tourna- ment In a tightly contested game, Fernandina ran out of gas at the end and lost 7-2 to finish third in North Florida. Leading hitters for Fernandina during this tour- nament were Nick (at Night) Crawford at .777 and Connor ("Crash") Cottle at .636. RBI leaders were Cottle with six, Beckham, Camp and Manning each with 5 RBI. Coaches Jody Montgomery, John Camp, Joe Roszell and Manager Mark Manning were extreme- ly pleased with the effort of these kids to reach a level never obtained before by 11-year-olds in the local league. The.coaches said they would not be sur- prised to see a state title from this age group before they are finished.

Newnet rules New rules adopted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in March regarding net regula- tions became effective July 1. The FWC rule change clarifies net limitations and places them in FWC rules rather than Florida Statutes. FWC officers are taking an educational approach in enforcement for now to give, c,.'inercial fi- h-rmnn a chance to become familiar with the new rules. The new rules clarify the prohibition against use of gill or entangling nets in Florida waters, clearly define monofila- ment nets as entangling nets, prohibit use of nets over 500 " square feet in near-shore and inshore waters, specify that a 0 net with stretched mesh size larger than two inches is an entangling net and clarifies how to measure mesh area. Other provisions of the new rules clarify language regarding connecting nets and establish the maximum number of mesh- es per foot of corkline to be 14 divided by the bar measure- ment. Commercial fishermen who need more information can con- tact the FWC's regional offices, listed in most telephone directo- nies. ' Tournament kingfish teams will be compet- ing this week in the 25th annual BellSouth Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament for a variety of prizes and cold cash. And it appears that many of the big kings will once again come from popular kingfish waters south of Jacksonville. "The water has been really fresh up here the past few days," Capt. Jim Fussell said. "Recently, during a charter at the south tip of the St. Marys jetty rocks, the tide was coming in, Terry Lacoss but our bot- tom baits . were still OUTDOORS going out with the outflow of freshwater. And you can see the freshwater in the ocean that arrive in dark clouds." With this in mind, many of- the big kings have been moving south where there isn't a big influx of freshwater from nearby freshwater rivers. s "We are heading.south dur- ing the VIP tournament," Capt. Benny Hendrix said. The water is a lot saltier there and the big kings have been holding along the beaches where they are easi- er to catch. That's where we are going to gamble all of our mar- bles. The, fishing is good off- shore of Fernandina for small kings, but you can't win a big kingfish tournament by weighing in small 10- to 20-ppund king mackerel." "I have been fishing for the last few weeks offshore at many of the popular fish havens and catching mostly small kings and lots of barracuda," Capt. Terry D. Lacoss said. "If you happen to get lucky enough to catch a big king, a barracuda will eat it right before your eyes. And you can't weigh in a piece of a kingfish!"

Some of the more popular, spots along the Jacksonville beaches include the "Red Tops," which are located just north of Sawgrass Resort; the "Desert," which is an area where there are no condos just south of the Sawgrass Resort; and the "Captains House," which is marked with GPS coordinates orn local fishing charts. St. Augustine Inlet is also a popular kingfish spot where fish- ing boats normally slow troll kingfish baits just north of the inlet and along the beaches. Matanzas Inlet is also producing good catches of kingfish along with the beaches just off from Marineland.' Don't waste any time! Most beach fishermen will speed troll with dead cutlass fish .in an attempt to cover a lot of water.

Beecher Deputy Clerk 4t 07-20-27,08-03-10-2005 4468 Continued on next page Tournament kingfish boats will be tossing their cast nets close to the beaches of Northeast Florida'during the upcoming GJKT. bonfish, are perfect baits for speed trolling up to 5 knots, whereas live menhaden, blue runners and mullet are normally trolled up to 2 knots before they begin to spin and scare away any kingfish attacks. Once a small pod of big kings is located, you can slow down your trolling speed and put out a mix of menhaden and live mullet. Even though the present con- ditions are pointing towards the winning kingfish coming from waters south of the St. Johns inlet, don't rule out Fernandina Beach! Capt. Wayne York, who won, the second annual Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament, anchored up at the tip of the St Marys north jetty rocks and put out a deadly chum slick that eventually won first place honors in a field of 1,000 boats that had traveled south and far offshore. Some fishermen are predict- ing, with the mass amounts of freshwater recently, that the win- ning, kingfish will be taken from far offshore waters. I recently fished the Brunswick 40-mile bottom and wasn't impressed. However, there may be a win- ning kingfish caught at the Elton Bottom and other deep-water kingfish haunts. I believe the best way to win a kingfish tour- nament is fishing in the right waters. I hope these tips increase your odds in winning. Good luck!

Retreat, remodel, retreat the mantra of home improvement When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Our house addition project reached a point where Big Guy looked at me and I looked at him; we grabbed a suitcase and retreated to a cool, quiet room at the Florida House Inn Bed and Breakfast. What triggered our retreat? Temperatures approaching 100 and the onslaught of all our new friends. And such talented friends they are carpenters, electri- cians, plumbers and the guys who do tile, insulation and even the propane man cameth: We never know who will appear as we try vainly to main- tain a regular schedule. We have open house every day. . Those of you readers who smile and remember their own adventures trying to Live in a .house being worked on -- stop chuckling. ". : Yes, we knew going Siin that it it was going Dickie Anderson to be chal- lenging, after all we FROM THE survived a PORCH kitchen remodel- ing. That merit badge earned, we were ready for the next. So we are adding a room and attending to some much needed repairs in the "main" house. We are in awe of our contrac- tor who on a daily basis demon- strates that he is a carpenter, plumber, electrician, trash collec- tor, baby sitter and homeowner psychologist. The contractor calls me "management," recognizing the decision-making hierarchy at our house. Each day is an adventure. Never a dull moment. Early one morning while fetching the morn-., ing paper Big Guy found a con- founded worker looking down the street as the construction truck he was supposed to be aboard moved down the street well out of shouting distance. It seems he was taking a bathroom break in our pale green construction site icon when his fellow workers left to go to another job. It was clear he had missed the bus, was up a creek and stranded. Big Guy became Good Guy and came to the rescue, giving the poor guy a ride. The start of another exciting day in the process of our addi- tion/remodel project. Back to the night we retreated from the construction site. It was hot, very hot. Big Guy came home and found me in the kitchen with its boarded up win- dows, construction dust on every surface and looking bedraggled. Now Big Guy likes his air condi- tioning. Picture a meat locker, so when he came home and realized that most of air conditioning had escaped when the doors and win- dows had been removed from the west side of our house he enthusi- astically supported my suggestion that we seek sanctuary. So we retreated, jumped in the car and made our way to the Florida House. Our time-out was an unexpect- ed gift. We enjoyed downtown Fernandina Beach as our many island visitors do. After checking in to our cool quiet room we took turns washing the construction dust off. Fresh, we headed to Brett's Waterway Cafe. We sipped a cool drink as we watched the sunset and the parade of people enjoying the late day on the edge of the Amelia River. After dinner at a favorite Centre Street eatery instead of driving home we just walked to our cozy bed and break- fast and enjoyed a good night's sleep. The next day we returned to the scene of the crime, ready to face the challenges of the remodel. Dickie Anderson welcomes your comments at dickiemm@bell south.net.

No penalties. Just really low rates. If you shop around for a home equity loan or line of credit, you'll find that a lot of low advertised rates don't look as good when you read the fine print. At VyStar, the more you read, the better it gets. That's because our * rate is not a teaser rate just to get you in the door and it doesn't go up based ' on your credit. There are no hidden costs, annual fees or pre-payment penalties that change the true cost of the loan to you. In fact, we'll even pay your closing costs on lines of $10,000 to $125,000. We adjust our best rate monthly to keep it a half a percent below the prime rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal's Money Rate section. Of course, there are always limitations and restrictions, such as basic credit approval, the appraised value of your home and the amount of money you want to borrow. But in the end, you'll find that our low rates just keep getting better the more you know. For example, you can get our best rate on up to 80o of the value of your home, less the first mortgage balance, if it's your primary residence. Other loan to value rates are equally attractive and again, aren't encumbered by hidden charges and early payoff fees. Visit a branch or call us for details and learn why we are the leader in home equity loans and lines of credit. i hai it. ,t~ uiow~nvny-.
