Nassau County Schools Superintendent John Ruis con- firmed Friday that FBHS Principal Jane Arnold has signed the waiv- er allowing Swan to play sports after he transferred out of the school this year. His parents have said that move was made so their son could benefit from Arlington's math program, not its sports. The dispute came down to whether Swan, a junior, attended classes at FBHS for the 2005-6 school year. Under Florida High School Athletic Association rules that would have rendered him inel- igible to play sports for another school unless he transferred due to a change of residence. "Wherever that initial enroll- ment is, that's where the eligibili- ty is," said Ruis. "It's a rule that's been around for a long time." Under those rules, it also is ille- gal for a school to recruit students outside of its district to play sports. "It's against the rules, it's prohib- ited specifically," said Ruis. Swan is a promising hoopster who played on the varsity level as a freshman and sophomore. And initially it appeared that, at least technically, Swan did attend FBHS. this school year. But Ruis said information came to light last week that the teen ended up in class unintentionally on Aug. 10 after visiting the school to pick up his transcript.

It's been a year-and-a-half wait for Walgreens, which has plans to place a new 14,800-square-foot store at the southeast corner of AlA and US 17. All of the necessary permits have been obtained, Walgreens spokesperson Susan McDonald said, but the project had been held up because the store lacks traffic concurrency. Traffic concurrency is the abil- ity of a roadway to handle the traf- fic impact of new development. That's an issue in this case, because both AlA and US 17 are already operating at or beyond their capac- ity. Without concurrency, Wal- greens spent months negotiating an agreement with the county, which included paying $225,000 in, intersection improvements to add and lengthen turn lanes, as well as YULEE Ciitinud o,' 3A City plans audit of golf fees GLENDA S. JENKINS News-Leader The Fernandina Beach Com- mission has taken steps to safe- guard its financial interest in the municipal golf course by requiring a yearly audit. "We've never had an audit at the golf course to determine how much money the city makes out there," said Commissioner Bill Leeper, who requested an audit in August. "We haven't had it to this day. And that's my problem with the contract," Leeper told the city's new golf pro Scott Womble. Interim City Manager Jerry Sinclair hired Womble, a former golf professional for Royal Amelia and Long Point courses. City com- missioners voted unanimously Dec. 6 to approve Womble's two-year contract. (Story, B1.) Womble is considered a full-time city employee with an incentive- based contract. His compensation includes a $20,000 annual retainer, retirement account, liability insur- ance premium and profits from pro shop sales and snack bar opera- tions. He will also receive proceeds from professional services, dis- counts, gratuities and golf lessons. Determining how much the golf pro receives from those operations was a source of conflict between the commission and Womble's predecessor, John Vickers. "(We're) giving you a contract not knowing what you're getting, (and) not knowing what the city's getting. But I'm going to vote for it, because I want you to be out there and I think you'll do a good job," Leeper said. Commissioner Joe Gerrity asked that the inspection and audit provision in the new golf director's contract state that the city "shall " provide an annual audit."

Otherwise, if you have to remove large branches near the bottom, it could compro- mise the shape and appearance. Just before putting the tree in the stand, cut off about half an inch or more from the bottom of the trunk to help it absorb more water. Be careful not to damage the cut surface and protect it from dirt in order to keep the "pores" open. Then, place it in air the newly cut surface will not take up water. If you must wait longer than that, or even several days before putting it up, place the freshly cut trunk in a bucket of water and store in a cool place outdoors or in the garage. Check daily to make sure the water level doesn't go below the tree's base. Drilling a hole in the base of the trunk does not improve water intake. Keep displayed trees away from sources of heat even direct sunlight. Lowering the tempera- ture in the room, even if it's just at night, will slow the drying-out er. Additives such as commercial tree preservatives, sugar, aspirin, bleach and such are not needed. And film coatings, which suppos- edly block water evaporation, have little effect Use of miniature lights will produce much less heat and reduce drying. Always turn off the tree lights when leaving the house or when going to bed. A dry tree is a fire hazard. Monitor its freshness and remove it from the house as soon as it begins to dry out and lose nee- dles.

A c 4M 0S am ~ft 1~ ___ Lum.~ a a -a a - NEWS LEADER f L I 4 ---qp WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14.2005 NEWS News-Leader Planning board approves AllApr BENJAMIN PRICE News-Leader An unprecedented rezoning application for a pocket of resi- dential property along A1A received the unanimous approval, of the Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board Tuesday. The approval is the first step in rezoning a block of 14 residential properties to commercial general in an effort to make them more salable. The properties are located east of 1-95 on the south side of A1A at the Blackrock Road intersection between Mt. Zion Loop and South Prince Drive. Each property is applying indi- vidually, however the county's plan- ning staff and the board 'will con- sider the applications as one contiguous block. Some of the individual parcels are as small as a quarter of an acre, county planner Marshall McCrary said, and combining them into a contiguous eight-acre unit was encouraged by planning staff to make the applications more viable. Many have been for sale for some time, McCrary said, and because of the character of A1A they will be more attractive to buy- ers as commercial property. The existing houses will be allowed to remain in the commer- cial zone, but would not be able to expand. McCrary said the only YULEE Continued from 1A improve the existing traffic sig- nals. Walgreens also agreed to pay the county $3,000 for each car or "trip" the store is projected to add to the roadway. The store lacks concurrency by 38 trips, so it will pay the county about $114,000 in concurrency fees. The county is currently recon- sidering its concurrency 'fee of $3,000 per trip. In discussions, commissioners have projected the figure could go substantially high- er, possibly between $5,000 and $10,000 per trip.., However, McDonald said that by combining the cost of the con- currency fee and the intersection improvements, Walgreens is actu- ally paying the county about $9,000 per trip. That figure does not include whatever impact fees will be associated with the develop- ment. A second hurdle faced by Walgreens was the recent announcement the Florida Department of Transportation has tentative plans to locate an over- s rezoning other limitation is that the owners would not be. able to rebuild a home if it were damaged more than 60 percent in a storm or fire. Most of the homes pre-date the construction of ALA in the 1970s. Now the highway has become the busiest and most traffic intense in the county. With the Wal-Mart SuperCenter and car dealerships on either side of the Mt. Zion loop, planning staff said it's no longer a practical or safe place for residen- tial housing. McCrary said some of the homes have to exit their drive- ways directly onto AlA Realtor Ken Bridges said he went door to door about three months ago asking each resident to sign a petition to agree to rezone the property. He said each prop- erty owner in the group agreed to this and their signatures were nota- rized. All 14 of the property owners are represented by local attorney Buddy Jacobs, who said the rezon- ing would make his clients' prop- erties more valuable because of the commercial'character ofA1A. "It would be hard to sell resi- dential property in that area," Jacobs said. "It's very dangerous, if you talk to some people who live on that street, because of the traf- fic on (A1A)." Jacobs said that of the 14 parcels, six are currently for sale and the others expect to sell at some time. pass at the same intersection. However, those plans are years away, county engineer Jos6 Deliz said, and FDOT has confirmed the overpass project is not currently included in its capital improve- ment plan. "Basically FDOT said if it's not in their capital improvement plan, they don't acknowledge it exists," he said. However,- commission Chair Ansley Acree said she wanted some assurance that Walgreens would not hold the county accountable if FDOT ever decides to add an overpass to the inter- section. Following the public hearing, McDonald agreed to add language to the developer agreement which indicates the county informed her client of that potential, and the county rwoldi not be held respon- sible for any detrimental effects it might have on the business. Commissioner Marianne Marshall made a motion to approve the store, pointing out that a pharmacy will serve the community. She also said a mobile home business was already locat- Bill O'Leary, a spokesperson for one of the properties, said an office condominium is tentatively planned for the largest parcel in the group. However, when any new devel- opment could be placed on the property is also a question. The parcels have no traffic con- currency, which would prevent construction of any new building on the premises without paying some type of fair share agreement -which the county currently does- n't offer. Traffic concurrency is the abil- ity of a road system to handle the impact of new development. That's an issue in this case because this section of AlA is already operating beyond its capacity. The county is in the process of working on a remedy for develop- ers, which would charge them a fee for every additional car a new development would add to the roadway. . However, the county commis- sion has yet to set that fee, and McCrary said it may not be until at least March, when the county expects to receive its pending traf- fic studies. The county commission will hear the rezoning applications at 7 p.m. Jan. 9 at the commission chambers in the Nassau County Governmental Complex on Nassau Place Road in Yulee. bprice@/bnewsleader com, ed on the same site, which had posed worse problems and dan- gers to traffic at the intersection.

A 20,000-square-foot commer- cial building is planned for that 4- acre parcel, which lacks concur- rency by 67 trips. The development's spokesper- son, Elaine Romans, also said the concurrency fees and intersection improvements at AIA and Blackrock would total about $9,000 per trip similar to the totals paid by Walgreens, which gained approval for a pharmacy at the cor- ner of A1A and US 17 in Yulee. She, said the improvements will involve adding turn lanes, accel- eration/deceleration lanes and replacing the intersection's current caution signal with a full traffic sig- nal. Commissioner Tom Branan said he'd been "trying to get a traffic signal there for 25 years," and made a motion to approve the agreement But his motion passed by only a 3-2 vote, because Commissioner Marianne Marshall and Chair Ansley Acree voted against it. Marshall said no commercial business was previously located on the same site (as was the case with Walgreens) and it had failed con- currency for "some time." When asked after the meeting why she voted against Buccaneer Plaza, Acree said she concurred with Marshall's remarks. bprice@fbnewsleader.com HAPPY . -HOLIDAYS S"Per'fe Tan A Come In for your Holiday gift .- sa:- Free Tan and Free Lotion Plus Register For Weekly a Tanning Basket Give Away 1 month Unlimited Tanning ONLY $24.95 1 50%-75% off Select Lotions Perfect Tan GOLF Continued from 1A "I do not want to have the spec- ulation that we had this past sum- mer and I would like the city to perform a yearly audit for Mr. Womble and for the city's sake," he said. "I don't want you to go through what John went through and I think the way to do it is to have a yearly audit." Vickers resigned from his job here to accept a job at a Colorado golf club after questions about his full compensation arose. Vickers' contract with the city provided that he receive $16,000 annual pay plus $5,000 in insur- ance and retirement benefits plus 4 percent of golf cart receipts, 35 percent of driving range receipts and all snack bar and pro shop receipts minus 5 percent to the city. He paid the city rent for use of its facilities and received all rev- enues from golf lessons and other professional services. The city's finance department and Vickers issued uncertified financial statements, but no audit was conducted. "I don't know if we have the staff to do a full audit," City Attorney Debra Braga told com- missioners. "I'm not talking about looking at every single invoice," Gerrit/ said. "But I know there are stan- dards ... We should be able to take a fairly cursory glance and just make sure that everything is the way it's supposed to be." "Everything in my practice is aboveboard," Womble said. "I'll share anything with anyone on the commission." Womble will pay the city 15 percent of gross receipts from the' snack bar and monthly payments of 5 percent of the pro shop's gross sales receipts. The city will also pay an addi- tional $2,000 per year into Womble's retirement account and up to $2,000 to cover his liability insurance premiums. gjenkins@fbnewsleader com Fernandina Beach Fire Rescue GAS Continued from 1A medical workers. the resulting spark hit "just in the His mother later took him to perfect spot to touch that gas line," the hospital.

That's the staggering amount paid for the old Gilman paper mill in St. Marys, Ga. in an auction last week. The winning bidder was LandMar, a real-estate developer that is no stranger to south Georgia. LandMar has developed the popular Osprey Cove and Winding River subdivisions in the St. Marys-Kingsland area. It reportedly plans to convert the waterfront property of the old mill into a residential setting, with shops and a hotel and maybe even a marina. Several other timber proper- ties, a railroad and the equipment from the mill were also auctioned off to highest bidders. Some 3,400 acres of timber tracts along 1-95, the St. Marys Railroad and the mill's equipment netted another $6 million. Included in the total $42 mil- lion package were 750 acres of marsh and riverfront land, most of which went to LandMar. An earli- er bidder (whose bid opened up the auction) had planned to build 1,100 homes on the mill property, plus a hotel and town cen- sister. cities of Private and commer- cial develop- .i ment is noth- ing new to the sister cities of St. Marys/ Steve Kingsland. teveas The costs of Nicklas houses in the --- ---- scenic STEVE'S Cumberland Harbour development PLACE reach into the millions of dollars, while new townhouses around the bend of the river from the old Gilman mill are selling at nearly $1 million. The old mill, originally owned by Howard Gilman, was the pillar of the St. Marys economy for decades. Gilman sold the mill to Durango. However, Durango was beset by outdated equipment and acquisition costs and closed the mill in 2002. It has sat vacant since then. There were notable bidders on the properties.

A resort developer with elite ski properties in Lake Tahoe and Deer Valley (Utah) also bid on the property, and a development group including Georgia State Rep. Cecily Hill had interest in the timber tracts. Hill's group report- edly intended to use the tracts for residential development Meanwhile, LandMar has numerous other local connec- tions. The company is the devel- oper of the North Hampton golf course/community in Yulee. It is also headquartered in Jacksonville. One of LandMar's strongest challengers reportedly contended that it had more experience in cleaning up former industrial sites, such as the Gilman plant. The cost of simply demolishing the old mill was estimated at $5 million. As always, a community has mixed feelings about replacing a revered structure such as the old Gilman mill. The mill at one time employed many of the residents of St. Marys. A poll being run by the Tribune & Georgian newspaper, which serves Camden County, asks readers whether they approve of the proposed develop- ment. There are four answers: ' Yes, it's just what St Marys needs to grow economically; Yes, St. Marys was the last and best-kept secret on the coast, and it's time to make the most of it; No, I can't believe they are going to tear down the paper mill; No, the last thing St Marys needs is thou- sands of retirees flooding in to buy second homes. The leading answer as of earli- er this week was the latter: St Marys does not need a flood of retirees. Heck, it garnered a resounding 40 percent of the vote.

Herschel Reynolds is one of those who liked his job so well that he "stayed where he was planted" for 50 years. Now, at 64, he is saying good-bye to the automobile sales industry, and his retirement was celebrated Thursday with party of co-workers, family and friends at the Ron Anderson dealership on A1A. In 1948 his father, Woodrow Reynolds, opened Reynolds Motor Co., a franchised Oldsmobile deal- ership, at 232 Eighth St., and Herschel worked for him for 32 years. When Ron Anderson pur- chased the business in 1988, Herschel Reynolds simply contin- ued his job with the company. "I grew up in the business," he says. "Years ago, a son usually fol- lowed his father's occupation, especially in a family-owned busi- ness. But my dad said, 'If you want to try out the pulp mill or some- thing else, that's OK. Don't feel that you have to work for me.' I liked what I was doing, and saw no reason to look for something else." "My 18 years with Ron Anderson have been very satisfy- ing. We've had a good working relationship, and that means a lot" Reynolds' staying power extends into his personal life, as well. He has been married to his wife, Sandra, for 41 years. He gives credit for his strong family values to his parents. "I had a ded- icated mother and father, a broth- er and sister, and we were all real close." Reynolds and his wife have two daughters, Beverly and Teresa, and a son, Allan, owner of Reynolds Financial Services on AIA, and one grandchild, Noah, who is Allan's son.

"Herschel was like a family doctor everybody trusted him," said Steve Johnson, an associate of the dealership. "People would come back and ask specifically for him when they were ready to trade. They were comfortable with him, and knew they could depend on his honest advice. "One thing people may not know is that Herschel can be very entertainlhg, doing great imper- sonations of people.

"Of all of these counties, there was one that was proactive enough to have impact fees, and it was Nassau County," said Paula Barton, Baker County schools superin- tendent, where a school impact fee was approved last week. "For us to partner with Nassau County is going to be a very posi- tive thing because so many things are similar," said Barton. "The growth in your outlying areas, I'm just amazed. Baker County is on track to do that," she said, noting that 250 residential homes were recently approved across the street from her district's high school. Under the proposal, the growth coordinator would technically be an employee of the Northeast Florida Educational Consortium but paid by and representing Baker and Nassau counties. That would include attending county and municipal zoning, commission and council meetings and serving as the school districts' liaison on all planning matters, including site acquisitions, developer and inter- local agreements and educational facility planning, among myriad other duties. The position would not be per- manent to Nassau and Baker coun- ties, said Ruis. After a while "we would step aside and one of the other districts would be able to take advantage," he said. FBHS Continued from 1A which he did. Ruis said documentation has since been produced that showed Swan had already enrolled in Arlington. '"It would have been nice to have that information a few weeks ago," said Ruis. 'The critical incident was that he attended class." Ruis stressed that the waiver Job description According to a draft job description for the "Growth Management Coordinator," the person should hold at least a bachelor's degree in educa- tional and/or governmental planning, have five years' experience, computer proh- ciency, the ability to cooperate and communicate with govern- mental entities and knowledge of the geographic and eco- nomic areas served by the Northeast Florida Educational Consortium. "Three years ago if you brought this to us, I would have thought you were nuts, I wouldn't have sup- ported it," said board member Jim Adams, but not now. "As the non-voting member of the (county) Planning and Zoning Board, I support it," said Adams, referring to his recent appointment to that board in strictly an ex-officio capacity. The school board had held a voting position until last month, when the county commission changed its policy. "If we don't start addressing growth, we're going to start having double sessions and even triple ses- sions" at local schools to accom- modate the number of students forecast, said Adams. "Growth is here ... we're fast becoming a bedroom community of Jacksonville," said Adams does not reflect a change in school district policy. "We don't need to start waiving our policies every time a situation comes up," he said. 'Those rules and bylaws that govern that have been around for a long time and as a school administrator I have signed (waivers) and not signed them." The Swan family did not return calls for comment.

The move will cost $243,577 from the general fund, said Schools Superintendent John Ruis in a memo to the board. The biggest hike is in the assistant superintendent's salary, which now ranges from $75,900-$87,035, or more than a $5,500 increase over the old pay scale. Ruis said "major revisions needed to be made to the way administrative salaries were cal- culated" since teachers' pay was streamlined into one schedule (with supplements for higher. degrees or training). The district's business office reviewed the salaries of sur- rounding school districts as a ref- erence point, and Ruis recom- mended in the memo that "the base formula be the beginning teacher's salary plus the supple- ment for the master's degree cer- tification. For this year, that base amount will be $34,100. Then this base amount is multiplied by a responsibility factor." The only salaries not affected were the assistant principals', which Ruis said compared favor- ably to surrounding districts. The other administrative positions, from principals to the chief accountant to the assistant super- intendent, were all paid less than their counterparts in neighboring counties, said Ruis. A main concern was to ensure that the assistant superintendent is paid more than those who work under him, Ruis said. "The assistant superintendent's schedule was increased to a greater degree to allow for future movement in the schedule for all administrators and to ensure that this position is earning more than those people reporting under this position," he wrote.

"We're keeping on top of it," said McConnell, who has faced a series of complaints about mold from school employees, parents and principals over the past sev- eral months. He has said previ- ously that the problems likely would subside as the weather becomes drier and cooler. McConnell enlisted the help of an archivist to examine books suspected of harboring mold at Yulee Primary, and six have been sent to a laboratory for further study, he said.

Currently that rate is 48.5 cents a mile, although Schools Superintendent John Ruis expects it will drop to about 40 cents when it is re-evaluated by the IRS at the start of the new year. The school board currently reimburses travel at the rate set by the state of Florida, which is 29 cents a mile. "Some of our employees who travel in the conduct of their job responsibilities in private vehi- cles didn't feel like. that 29 cents was sufficient," said Ruis. The change is projected to cost a total of $37,500 for the balance of the fiscal year at the current IRS rate, according to the district business office. The vote Thursday paves the way for public hearings on the prbjpiosed change.';:' '" ; : i< ",'sferry@fjiiew'sl'edder.com said. "Dust. There's very little dif- ference between dust and mold to people who have little toler- ance," said McConnell, or to those who handle the books every day, such as a librarian. The archivist suggested vacu- uming the books with a special cleaner, and McConnell said six were sent to a lab for further study to ensure the yellow substance really is chalk dust and that the stains are not a health hazard. Asked whether the number of mold complaints is unusual, McConnell said, "We've been deal- ing with mold complaints for the last 10 years, but we've had more complaints this past summer,... If we can keep the humidity at 55 percent, then we will be able to contain the mold. Our approach is to not treat the symptoms, but to fix the problem." As for the lab tests, if they come back positive for mold "then I'm at my wits end ... I don't know what to do," said M~Connell. i sperry@fbnewsleecad.dmwo f' Gateway Commons I & II EXCELLENT EXPOSURE OFFICE/RETAIL CONDOS SALE/LEASE */ SOulH ELEVATION 754 SQ FT TO 10,000 SQ FT AVAILABLE This is your limited opportunity to join a Prestigious Group of Owners in Gateway to Amelia including: Barbara Jeans Restaurant Spanky's Seafood Grill & Bar The Chamber of Commerce Amelia Realty T.A.

Fernandina Beach Commissioner Joe Gerrity has proposed that a citizens committee be estab- lished to spend much of the next year looking at how our city government might be improved. We generally believe that if it's not broke, don't fix it, but many people believe our city govern- ment is broken. Our citizenry has not always been well served by its city government as Fernandina Beach grows and changes rapidly. There are many good city employees, elected officials and citizens working hard to improve our town, but for a vari- ety of reasons we are coming up short What ails our city government might be cured with election of two new commissioners in April, hiring of a new city manager and perhaps other personnel changes, but there may be structural problems that need to be addressed. ..w Letslook at our form of govbrnrment'and-see what changes might improve it. We don't neces- sarily endorse a so-called "strong mayor" form of government or any other particular change. Rather, we think it's time to put everything on the table. The result might be a gentle tweaking of city government or a major overhaul we don't know. But there's no harm in the debate. In fact, if such a debate were to draw more good people into the conversation about how to improve city government, that would be a big plus. Too few people are involved in what goes on at City Hall. We'd like to see more people get involved. A months-long review of city govern- ment might prompt that. Fernandina Beach needs a wider conversation about its civic life what do we expect from city government? How can we do better? This charter review committee is one way to spark that conversation. Let's make it a priority in the new year.

That moves her into second place, right behind former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who continues to lead the pack at 26 percent. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who had previous- ly been running second, slipped to 21 percent. Lagging behind were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia at 7 percent and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee at 5 percent. None of the others was above 5 percent. It has been a good month for Rice, even as President Bush has run into a mass of troubles. Her favorability in the Fox News poll tops 70 percent. Her successes in negotiating an extension of American military bases in Central Asia, working out an accord between Israel and the PLO on the Gaza Strip crossings and defusing European criti- cism of U.S. torture policies demonstrated great effectiveness. And, as Rice has been moving up, her potential competitors for the GOP nomination have been run- ning into trouble. Giuliani now faces the possibility of an indictment of Bernard Kerik on allegations he took bribes during his tenure as Giuliani's correc- tions commissioner, before the mayor named him to lead the Police Department. A high-profile scandal affecting the poster boy of the Giuliani administra- tion will do the former mayor no good. Nor will Rudy's support for choice on abortion, backing for gun control and support for gay civil unions help him much in the GOP field. McCain, for his part, seems to be placing himself out of the mainstream of GOP politics, teaming with Virginia's Sen. John Warner and South Carolina's Sen. Lindsey Graham in demanding tough legisla- tive controls over interrogation of terrorist suspects, much to the dismay of Vice President Cheney. Already, Rasmussen reports that the Arizona sena- tor is the first choice of those who disapprove of Bush's handling of the presidency, a poor base from which to seek the Republican nomination. Once again, McCain is proving that he would rather be right than be president and is demonstrating how to accomplish his goal. Frist has not recovered from his loss of power to the Gang of 14 in the Senate or his overreaching in threatening to use the nuclear option of eliminating the filibuster of judicial nominees. His support of stem-cell research, while commendable, cuts across his efforts to court the religious right. Most of all, the basis of his financial world his investment in 44. w "Copyrighted Material , 16.9 Syndicated Content Available from Commercial News Providers" W K1 hospital conglomerate HCA Inc. has come under SEC scrutiny because the senator sold his shares one month before their price dropped 9 percent in one day, based on a warning from the company about potentially weakened earnings. Whether this sale turns out to smack of insider trading or not, the affair may sap his viability as a GOP contender. And Allen has suffered a loss of prestige with the victory of Democrat Jerry Kilgore over Republican Tim Kaine for governor in his home state after the senator had vigorously backed the unsuccessful GOP contender. All this two years before the start of the cam- paign may mean little in the end, but it does go to show what might become the future dynamic of the Republican race: Non-candidate Rice scores diplo- matic triumphs that raise her support and political attractiveness while the other contenders for the nomination are embroiled in the unseemly art of politics, facing the usual round of negatives, investi- gations and embarrassments. Rice repeatedly denies any interest in running for president but may have to spend the next two years facing a boom in the demand for her to run. The looming threat of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Rice's excellent performance as secretary of state are kindling a boom for her candidacy akin to those that animated Dwight D. Eisenhower's 1952 run and Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 bid for the Democratic nomination. Will Rice eventually be overpowered and con- vinced to run? I believe that this woman will do her duty to her country, as she always has. If it is clear that only she can defeat Hillary and the others who might be able to do so Guiliani and McCain fal- ter early in the process, then she will run. If her sup- porters build it, she will run. Dick Morris was an adviser to Bill Clinton for 20 years. His new book, "Condi vs. Hillary," is available now.

Thanks to all our foster parents and relative care- givers. You give of your time, your homes and your lives. Thank you for giving these precious, innocent children a place to lay their heads at night in peace. To the child advocates, thank you for the love and compassion you show children that have been molested, assaulted and abused. To our police and sheriff officers, who go out on domestic violence, drug offense and well being calls, you lovingly and carefully remove the children from dangerous environments, thank you. And a big thank you goes out to the concerned neighbors, friends and family members who put the welfare of the children ahead of their own agendas; these people are truly brave and unselfish to make a call to the abuse hotline. Your care and concern has saved many children's lives and their future. To the judges who decide what is best and safe for our children of Florida, bless you for all your hours of studying the abuse cases and making wise decisions. And last but not least, thank you to all the Guardian ad Litem volunteers that give their own time to visit the children, research, investigate and represent what is in the best interest of our abused children, in our court system. You have a tough job, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a difference in children's lives. Thanks to all the giving and caring citizens of Florida. You have done a lot, and there is still plenty of work to do. Children are our only future, it's up to all of us to save them. Merry Christmas and may God bless you all. Mrs. Lisa Baker Holsomback Florahome VIEWPOINT/DICK MORRIS Unless Condi decides torun; * * - 41W o - qm - - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14,2005 NEWS News-Leader Right whales - right here - ri t now and start looking out to sea. It's right whale sea- son once again. Endangered northern right whales spend their winters in southern Georgia and northern Florida waters to give birth to their calves and then head north to feed on small invertebrates in colder waters the rest of the year. Often right whales and some- times hump- back whales are seen close to shore on Amelia Island, some- times just beyond the surf line. We could use Pat your help in Foster- Turley spotting them. Spotting WILDWAYS right whales and report- ing this to the Marine Resources Council's whale hotline (1-888- 979-4253) could help save whale lives. And these lives need sav- ing. As fewer than 350 northern right whales remain on Earth, every one is important to the sur- vival of this species. Although last year was a big year for right whale births in our waters 28 were recorded it was also a more significantly bad year for whale deaths. The main Right whale class Julie Albert, coordinator of the Marine Resources Council's northern right whales monitoring program, will present a free edu- cation and volunteer training class to help area residents identify the endangered right whale in Florida coastal waters as they migrate through and use local waters to give birth. The class is scheduled to be at the Amelia Island Planlation Conference Center on Jan. 6 from 2-3:30 p.m. Educational maien- als will be distributed. The class is free and open to the public. cause of mortality for these whales involves conflicts with human activities. Of 50 reported dead right whales since 1986, about half were due to either col- lisions with vessels or entangle- ment in fishing gear. An ambi- tious collaboration between U.S. government agencies, non-profit groups and private foundations has been working together to help remedy this problem. If and when you call the whale hotline, when your sighting is confirmed the information is relayed to the Navy, which in turn immediately alerts all large vessels in the area to slow down and be on the look- out. Conserving right whales is not just about population sizes, reproductive success and mortal- ity rates of an anonymous group of animals, but it also has names and faces. All right whales have distinctive light bumpy areas on their head callositiess) that are distinctive throughout their life.

Collecting cumulative data like this on known individu- als provides a unique insight into the behavior of these behemoths. One young male right whale, for instance, has a serial number but is affectionately known to most whale researchers as "Kingfisher." Kingfisher was first sighted off St. Augustine in mid- March 2004, and a sorry sight it was. Both flippers of this whale were completely encircled with fishing fear, in a life-threatening manner. Researchers from a number of government and non- profit organizations worked together to try to untangle him, with no success. Eventually they ended up putting a tracking device on him, and wishing for the best. Soon after, though, this device fell off and Kingfisher was completely on his own again, PAT FOSTER-TURLEY/FOR THE NEWS-LEADER A right whale calf washed up near the Scott Road beach access in 2003 but died before rescue efforts could be successfully completed. with not much hope for his sur- vival. Miraculously, in January Kingfisher was seen again in our waters. Somehow he, had man- aged to dislodge the fishing gear from one flipper, and nearly shed the lines on his other flipper too, and his coloration and outward appearance looked healthy. Maybe this year, we'll see Kingfisher again, gear free.

Last whale season an adult female right whale (unfortunately named "Lucky" when sighted previously) washed up on Little Talbot Island in early January. She had been spotted dead in the water further north and was being towed to a research facility for a necropsy. En route, her carcass was attacked by large great white sharks, who chewed through her tail fluke. A whale without a "han- dle" is difficult to tow, and she washed away, onto the beach at Little Talbot Island. Her necrop- sy, done in place there, showed that she was carrying a near- term calf. Because Lucky had scar tissue from a previous colli- sion with a vessel, it was likely she was unable to give birth suc- cessfully. The loss of Lucky rep- resents not just the loss to the population of one whale but of two, and of all the other whales both would likely produce in years to come. In 2003 another right whale washed up on our shores, near the Scott Road beach access. This neonate calf was alive when first spotted and efforts were made by a team from Marineland and NOAA and other organiza- tions to save it Sadly, though, by the time the whale was hoisted unto a truck for transport to Marineland, it died. It was a long shot anyway. Baby whales are unlikely to be successfully hand- reared by humans, even if they are healthy to begin with. Due to the severely endangered status of northern right whales, every effort is worth taking to save one. There are not just individual whales involved in long-term research but individual people as well. Here in Fernandina in the coming months you might even meet some of the New England Aquarium researchers, who win- ter here along with the whales and conduct regular transects photographing and recording right whales in our waters. Up in St. Marys Ga., in the winter, you might even run into a similar whale research team from the Wildlife Trust. Or you might run into whale volunteers right here on our own island, and even become one yourself. If you are interested in learn- ing more about right whales, and want training to be a whale vol- unteer this winter join us at 2 p.m. Jan. 6 at the Amelia Island Plantation conference room. Julie Albert from the Marine Resources Council will teach attendees how to identify right whales and what to do to help protect them. See you there.

JENKINS News-Leader Fernandina Beach merchants will soon have a new ordinance gov- erning signs they use to identify and advertise their businesses. City commissioners last week forwarded recommended ordi- nance amendments to the Planning Advisory Board for review and inclusion in a draft land develop- ment code. A Blue Ribbon Sign Panel began weekly meetings in July and spent two months revising the ordinance to meet the city's business and visu- al standards. Amendments to Section 5.03.00 of the draft land development code include the addition of more spe- cific-regulations, revised definitions and exemptions. The draft ordinance restruc- tures historic district provisions and revises the snipe sign defini- tion. It also decreases to eight feet the maximum freestanding sign height to help eliminate pole signs. Design standards and meas- urements for all signs remain unchanged. The city's code enforcement offi- cer, shortly after being hired this past summer, began citing busi- ness owners for sign code viola- tions. Merchants complained to the commission that some sections within the city's ordinance put them at a disadvantage to retailers on the island operating within county jurisdiction. The close proximity of these county retailers to some business- es in the city highlighted the design and regulation disparities between each jurisdiction's ordinances. Also, the city's ordinance made it difficult to compete with stores off the island, shop owners said. The amendments, such as revi- sions giving businesses off Centre Street exposure, improve the sign ordinance. But it needs a few more adjustments before final adoption, Ed Mosher said. Mosher, who served as an ad East Nassau elects officers The East Nassau Homeowners' Council, an umbrella organization of communities between the Amelia. River,n..dYule, elected ulticc-r0-. , its second annu al me-etinz recently.' Robert Weintraub of Marsh Lakes was reelected president while two new vice presidents were selected: Angie Walters of North Hampton and Bea Walker of Flora Park. The council also approved a pro- gram to brief boards of directors of homeowner organizations on emerging county issues and coun- cil activities. Any homeowners asso- ciation, whether or not they are council'members, can request a presentation by phoning Weintraub at 491-6817 or writing him at rmw.weintraub@mindspring.com. POLITICS IN BRIEF Phone cards for troops The Nassau County Democratic Executive Committee, Westside Democratic Club and the Democratic Club of Amelia Island purchased $460 in phone cards for U.S, troops through the U.S. Postal Service's "Phone Cards for the Troops" program. The money was raised with a raffle durifig a recent bene- fit held by the Democratic groups'. "Nassau Democrats appreciate the extreme sacrifices our mili- tary families with members in Iraq and Afghanistan are making for our country. We are pleased to make this small contribution to help hold these families together and allow them to share some personal moments while they are separated under such difficult cir- cumstances," Democratic Executive Committee Chair Gerri Chester said Anyone can buy the cards in increments of $10, $20 and $30 from any Post Office participating in the project.

Arrest indicates suspicion of a crime, not guilt.

Mark Bullard, 51, was sen- tenced for reportedly accepting money for house building proj- ects he didn't complete and for land he was not authorized to sell. Circuit Court Judge Robert Foster also ordered Bullard to pay $1,492 in court costs. A plea of no contest is not con- sidered an admission of guilt, but instead is an acknowledgement that there is sufficient evidence against the defendant for him or her to be convicted by a jury. The plea has the same legal implica- tions as a plea of guilty. As part of a plea agreement, Bullard will not be prosecuted on charges of misapplication of con- struction, making or furnishing a .. "" false statement i and three l, 2, charges of i., schemes to .. defraud. ,:- Bullard was arrested in March 2004 Bullard after he was accused of tak- ing a total of * $31,000 from two local couples as payment for construction work he didn't complete, and two other people reported giving him a total of $8,000 as payment for residen- tial lots he was not legally able to sell to them. The complaints centered on Landyn's Lake, a 20-lot subdivi- sion off Simmons Road on Amelia Island. Bullard was the exclusive builder there for two years. Bullard had been scheduled to face a trial on the charges today. -If convicted of all the charges against him, he could have been sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. smalcom@fbnewsleader com DON'T LITTER S SPAY -NEUTER A Public Service Announcement by The News-Leader WE LOVE OUR LOCALS! 2 FOR TUESDAY-5-1 COME ENJOY OUR Seafood Platter for WEEKLY SPECIALS or Prime Rib for 2 co WEDESDAY-5-1OPM THURDAY-59PM Ribeye Steak All You Can Eat-W Dinner Dungeness o or Fried Grouper ...

Ellinger Jr., called 9-1- 1 to notify of his mother's need for medical attention. A team of four firefighter/para- medics in two units quickly responded. Despite a cast on his broken right arm, J.J. had already begun assisting his mother by helping her to sit upright so she could obtain proper breathing. Upon arrival firefighters found Terri Ellinger stabilized and J.J. unruffled. He maintained his com- posure as paramedics prepared his mother for transport to a nearby hospital. J.J. was such an inspiration to paramedics they allowed him to ride up front during transport to the hospital. His mother said of her son, "He is always a big help to me. I hope one day he will enter into the medical field." J.J. is a fifth-grader at Yulee Elementary School. Firefighters rewarded J.J. on Dec. 6 for his efforts. Lt. Pete Gunnell and engineers Adam Salzburg, Chris Gamble, Rob Smith and Paul Kay spent time with J.J. and gave him a tour of a fire engine. Fire Chief Chuck Cooper made a presentation of a new game for, his "Gamecube" and also offered family dinner passes donated by Chick-Fil-A, bowling passes donat- ed by Nassau Center Bowling and a 2005 Hess Emergency Fire Truck donated by Hess Express. '"This type of a special event warms our heart when we have the opportunity to reward such a brave young man such as this," said Cooper. "What a great way to begin the holiday season."

CRAWFORD BSETO NASSAU SPORTS .,a -.i--- N OUTDOORS / TIDES CROSSWORD AROUND TOWN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2005 NEWS-LEADER / FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA Jaguars victim of NFL buzz saw r'-. despite their ,, blowout loss to the 2i Indianapolis Colts' Sunday (I know the final score was 26-18, but you're kidding yourself if you think that game was close), the Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves in a good posi- tion heading into the postsea- son. With only San Francisco, Houston and Tennessee possibly the three worst teams in the NFL this season remaining on their schedule, an 11-5 final record all the sudden seems like a probability rather than just a goal. And a wild card spot in the AFC playoffs is Jacksonville's to lose., While it might be a little too early to start talking about possible playoff oppo- nents, I can't help but men- tion that, as of now, a road game against the defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots seems like- ly. The general opinion by the national know-it-alls is that the Patriots are an aver- age team this season, which will undoubtedly give them plenty of motivation to make a good showing. Factor in the imminent cold weather and the Jaguars appear to be up against it. The good news is Jacksonville would have to mess up pretty badly to avoid making its first playoff appearance since 1999. And with a foot in the playoffs door. anything can-happen .. I know he's not popular around these parts because of his ties to the University of Tennessee, but is there any doubt Peyton Manning is in the top five of the all-time NFL passers? In fact, I'd have a hard time coming up with four more accurate passers than Manning. The guy was amazing Sunday, shooting precision lasers at will into pretty good pass coverage. As much as the Jaguars insist they want another piece of the Colts in the play- offs, trust me, they don't. That's a death wish, plain and simple ... University of Florida backup QB Josh Portis has decided to transfer, accord- ing to his mommy. It seems Mama Portis thinks Josh wasn't given a fair shot to take the job from Chris Leak, last year's leading passer in the Southeastern Conference. So Portis is heading for the greener pas- tures of uhhh well - Mommy hasn't decided yet. Good luck finding a major football program that will remove its starting quarter- back in order to play your baby. Reading between the lines, its obvious Patricia Portis sees her son as an NFL paycheck. He might as well have dollar signs paint- ed on his forehead, for Pete's sake ... Speaking of Florida's backup quarterback situa- tion, we should now know where St. Augustine Nease QB Tim Tebow has decided on playing his college ball. If he did in fact choose the Gators, his favorite boyhood team, Florida fans can only hope Tebow won't end up like a few other overrated players of recent past. Can you say Bobby Sabelhaus? Or even Brock Berlin? At least Tebow might be able to line up elsewhere if he ends up being a quarterback bust. Because the kid is built like a brick henhouse... Did you hear how talent- ed Texas QB Vince Young is? Oh, you didn't catch his press conference last week telling you? Talk about vani- ty. I, for one, was glad to see USC's Reggie Bush win the Heisman Trophy by a land- slide. John L. Crawford's column appears Wednesdays. Womble named new director of golf at city course BETH JONES News-Leader Scott Womble, 45, is no stranger to the local golf scene. He has been head profes- sional at two other courses on this island and now takes over as director of golf at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club. His first day was Dec. 7. Womble moved to Amelia Island nine years ago and spent four years as the head pro at the Long Point course at Amelia Island Plantation. He was head pro at Royal Amelia Golf Links from May 2000 to September of this year. He left Royal Amelia after the course was purchased by Amelia Island Co. because he said he didn't "see eye to eye" with the new management. But Womble remained with the former management company, Kitson & Partner, and has been commuting between Fernandina Beach and Wilmington, Del., to run operations at the Ed Oliver Golf Club. He sent his resume to the city of Fernandina Beach while in Delaware. Womble was offered the job and he said he couldn't be happier that his family will continue to call Fernandina Beach home. Pirates netwins over 'Cats, Bulldogs BETH JONES News-Leader The Pirates have won their last three games with the latter two coming last week against Baker County and Bolles. The Fernandirna Beach High Scho6livarsi bWoys basketball team, now 4-2, defeated Baker County 69-62 on Thursday and topped Bolles 62-55 on Friday. Both games were at home. Against Baker County, senior Dan Harrell led the scoring attack for the Pirates with 14 points. He also had a rebound and two assists. Brad Brogdon scored 12 points, pulled down six rebounds and had nine assists. John Bailey had nine points and four rebounds. Pat Dunlap, Matt Cluff and James Southers had eight points each. Dunlap had four rebounds. In the win over Bolles, the Pirates were off to a 42-28 lead at halftime, but were outscored 16-5 in the third quarter by the Bull- dogs. The Pirates rebounded to outscore Bolles 11-15 in the fourth. Brogdon, who was celebrating his birthday, led the Pirates with 22 points, two rebounds and four assists. Cluff chipped in 11. Dunlap had seven rebounds and an assist. The Pirates host the Johnny T. Smith Holiday Classic Friday and Saturday. West Nassau, Westlake Prep and Middleburg are partici- pating. "I get to stay here in Fernandina Beach," he said. 'This is home." Womble started working on a golf course at age 14. His 1978 Pendleton High School team won the state championship and he attended the University of South Carolina at Spartanburg on a golf scholarship. "Golf is basically all I've ever done," Womble said. "I've been playing since age eight and have spent 20-plus years in the business." He has plans for the city golf course, including a new irrigation system, a web site and increased junior and beginner golf programs. "I want to promote golf in this area," Womble said. "Create more avenues for busi- nesses to send business to the city." He said he wants to work closely with the chamber of commerce to assemble golf packages for the local inns and hotels. He also plans to address maintenance issues to "increase the playability of the course" and said he will continue the course's relationship with the Fernandina Beach High School golf teams. Womble and his wife, Donna, have three children, Tyler, 16, Avery, 11, and Megan, 9. BETH JONES/NEWS-LEADER Scott Womble is the new director of golf at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club.

PHOTOS BY BETH JONES/NEWS-LEADER - -. -- -.. Pirates battle Devils to 3-3 tie The Fernandina Beach High School varsity boys soccer team played at Stanton Friday. The game ended in a hard fought 3-3 tie. FB HS scored first after 10 minutes of play from an upper 90 finish by Conor Hammond. Hammond received a cross from Scott Kellogg and sent the 25- yard shot past the keeper for the first goal of the game. Stanton's Blue Devils scored six minutes later when the outside midfielder beat the Pirate defense on a 40-yard run and finished low and across the goal. Stanton played physical, earning seven yellow cards on the night. using that physi- cal style to score two more goals to hold a 3-1 lead at the half. In the second half, Stanton continued playing physical but the Pirates responded and out-hus- tled them. FBHS had many scoring opportunities in the second half and finally scored the second goal with less than two.minutes remaining. Wesley Hunt floated a corner kick into the scoring area and Luis Arias was able to get to it first with his head and sent it past the keeper. Stanton had the ball for the restart and seemed to have the score (3-2) and clock in its favor. The Pirates' relentless hustle allowed them to get the ball back and they were able to play the ball into the area for several shots. All were blocked and the ball came back out. The ball was then sent wide to the right side where Mitch Christian was able to send a cross into the box that the Stanton keeper was only able to knock away. Hunt was out near the far post and read the play. Since the keeper was at the other post, Hunt was able to collect himself and rip the ball into the back of the net for the game-tying goal seconds before the final whistle. "The team never gave up," said FBHS Coach Joshua Dunn. "Luis Arias played very well. He encouraged his teammates and made big plays. I really enjoyed watching the players earn the draw. They showed great team spirit." The Pirate junior varsity lost 2-0 to Stanton. The Pirates host Forrest tonight.

BETH JONES/NEWS-LEADER 2005-6 SCHEDULES WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14.2005 / NEWS-LEADER OUTDOORS Vision for the outdoors Several fishing seasons ago, my son, Terry David, and I were motor- ing across Tampa Bay as fast as our Triton boat would carry us. It was one of those early mornings when the sun was just peeking out from the horizon. Naturally, I had my brand new prescription eye glasses on .for better vision of the large bay. For some unknown reason, I turned my head to see some- thing behind the boat when the wind blew my expensive eye- glasses off from my head and into the bay, never to be seen again! Since then, I have learned to keep my eyeglasses securely on my head by using cords. My pre- scription sunglasses also wore cords and I somewhat looked like a Christmas tree most of the year with two pairs of glasses hanging from my neck! Today outdoorsman have a choice in wearing prescription glasses and sunglasses, or they can wear contact lenses and have many.more options as far as optics is concerned. 'Terry, I think you would be much better off with contact lenses," Dr. Tony Stubits said during a recent eye examination. "This way, you would have sever- al options as far as wearing sun- glasses. "Contacts can help your dis- tance and close-up vision, and you can wear a variety of sun- glasses to fit your vision needs." After a few days of putting , contacts on my eyes, and then removing them at night, I became more and more efficient at this somewhat tentative task. For the first timb in many years, I had the option as far as which sunglasses would better fit my outdoor needs. I have to admit, nothing was more frustrating than having the frames of my prescrip- tion sun- glasses break dur- ing a fishing trip! I was forced to use one pair Terry Lacoss of prescrip- s s rq... tion sun- OUTDOORS glasses to play golf, sight fish for redfish, troll offshore for striking game fish and shoot game birds. Virtually all of these outdoor sports require different styles of sunglasses to ensure a produc- five day in that particular sport. Golfers prefer sunglasses that do not have bottom frames to block the vision of the golf ball. Sight fishermen prefer sun- glasses that wrap around their eyes to give full protection from the sun and amber lenses that help fishermen see deep into the water. Offshore fishermen prefer blue lenses that reduces the glare on the surface of the water so they can see striking fish and fishing lines. Hunters prefer bright lenses, which turn dark woods, or fields into a sunny day. All sunglasses: should be polarized to take the glare off the water and have UV protection from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. Contact lenses can also come with UI protection and polariza- tion. "Bausch and Lomb has teamed up with Nike and come up with sports contact lenses," Stubits said. "These special con- tact lenses help the baseball standout for baseball players and, for golfers, the golf ball becomes much easier to see." As you can see, there is a mul- PHOTOS BYTERRY LACOSS/SPECIAL Three generations of fishermen include Joe Stubits, right, son Tony Stubits, center,,and grandson, Troy Stubits. Below, if redfish could wear sunglasses, they would be extremely difficult to catch! Troy Stubits caught this nice red bass. titude of options when wearing contact lenses in the outdoors. And for once, I can actually see to tie a fishing knot without hav- ing to remove my prescription sunglasses to put on my reading glasses! My prescription sun- glasses were not bifocal lenses, so they were only good for my depth vision. Contact lenses stay clean all day long and you don't have to keep cleaning them to see throughout the day. It's also nice not to have to keep adjusting your reading glasses when they begin to fall off from your nose! There is one downfall when wearing contacts on a windy day; they can dry out. Wearing sun-, glasses keeps the wind from dry- ing out your eyes and contact lenses. You also should wear goggles when blowing leaves and burning them too to keep both dust and smoke from get- ting on your contact lenses. I did get a chance to fish with three generations of Stubits the very first day that I tried my new contact lenses out on the water. It was one of those calm, clear days when fishermen have every advantage of seeing redfish in the shallow waters of Amelia Island. As you can see by the photos, my eyes are much better than they ever have been and I can't wait to compete on the Redfish Cup tournament trail this coming year! It also helps to see oyster bars first before you run over them with your shallow water boat. For information on contact lenses, visit www.bausch.com or www.nikevision.com.

Operation Slow Speed Five thousand boaters and almost 1,800 got checked recent- ly as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rolled out its first coordinated statewide manatee law enforcement effort along with a team of more than 45 local, cuunty,,itate and-iederal agencies in 19 counties. Operation Slow Speed focused on education due to hur- ricane-impacted speed zone signs. Despite cooler weather and fewer than expected boaters on the water, the statewide team effort yielded: Manatee warnings (176); manatee citations (128); boating safety warnings (319); boating safety citations (93); fish- ery violation warnings (23); and fishery violation citations (22). In addition, this team per- formed four search-and-rescue missions, as well as responded to 30 calls for service. Officers made one arrest for boating- under-the-influence and two for Homeland Security violations in Palm Beach County.

'That coupled with seasonal changes in mana- tee speed zones and migration patterns makes it crucial for us to educate boaters. We want to save lives and manatees." Through November, 358 man- atees have died this year statewide, 70 by watercraft. Through Dec. 4, 73 boaters have died on Florida's waterways. In 2003, Florida led the nation in boating deaths with 64, and last year, had 68. Most of them were preventable. This is the third year for Operation Slow Speed in Palm Beach County but the first time it was a statewide project. Boaters are required to know the rules for the waters where they boat. Replacing signs destroyed by past hurricanes may take months, but the speed zones that those signs mark will still be in effect.

Last April, the FWC approved a rule designed to control growth and overcapitalization of the commercial blue crab fishery by managing the number of fish- ermen and traps. The rule, recommended by FWC's Blue Crab Advisory Board, established a blue crab limited entry endorsement pro- gram that limits the total number of commercial blue crab fisher- men and allows each qualified fisherman to use up to an equal number of traps. This program includes certain qualifying criteria (based upon . reported blue crab landings over a specified period) for fishermen to obtain an endorsement which allows them to commercially har- vest blue crabs. The program also requires all blue crab traps to be tagged and allows the transfer of endorse- ments to other persons under specified conditions. Fees to sup- port this program, which begins in the 2006-2007 license year, must be approved by the 2006 Florida Legislature. The rules approved by the FWC allow qualified fishermen affected by the 1995 net limita-, tion amendment, and stone crab and shrimp fishermen who har- vest blue crabs as bycatch in their fishing gear, to obtain a non-transferable blue crab limit- ed entry endorsement.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission approved a series of rules to clar- ify and standardize how anglers should measure the total length of various saltwater finfish. The new rules specify that the "total length" of saltwater fish, such as red drum, spotted sea trout and snook, should be meas- ured by determining the straight line distance from the most for- ward point of the had withthe mouth closed, to the farthest tip of the tail with the tail com- presq d or squeezed together, while the fish is lying on its side. However, there is no change to the way the "fork length" of saltwater fish, such as Spanish mackerel, pompano, and cobia, should be measured. Fork length measurements are consid- ered to be easily understood by fishermen and do not need fur- ther clarification. Another new rule changes measurement for gray trigger- fish from total length to fork length to be consistent with the way this species is measured in federal waters. The goal of these rules is.to provide a standard measurement procedure for the total length of saltwater fish that is understood by resident and visiting anglers and that may be uniformly enforced by officers in the field. These rules take effect July 1, 2006. FERNANDINA B.EACI TIDE'S. Tides, Sun & Moon: December 14-21, 2005 ) I.- .. .- -n I i n I! ., ,! I P Pla lClark Fo nu dl ;Me rc u ry HWY.

Where do you think Santa's favorite place to come to get kitties for special kids for Christmas is? Well it isn't pet stores, because Santa believes it's always bet- ter to "adopt than to shop," so he comes to Cats Angels Thrift Store. "Home for the Holidays, Every Rescue's Dream" cam- paign is in full swing. In fact, Santa has been in, having picked out a number of kit- tens for Dec. 24 deliveries! But there's many more of us hoping to be out of our cages and under a Christmas tree playing with a new jingle ball on Dec. 25! Why are Cats Angels felines Santa's favorites, you ask? All of us have been test- ed for FIV/leukemia, we've been spayed or neutered, plus given rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. Santa also thinks it's great how we've been in foster homes and how the Angel ladies know Ralph is our designer "terrihuahua." A mix of ter- rier and chihuaua, he is 6 weeks old, sandy colored and should be about 15-20 pounds full grown. He, his mom and siblings were taken to animal control. They had not been well cared for in their home and two of Ralph's sisters died of internal worm infestation. It is extremely important that all pets, especially help- less puppies, get proper vet care and medications. Please don't get pets think- ing that they just need food and water. There is a lot more to properly taking care of a pet than just that. Think carefully before you decide to get a "Christmas" pet for a present. They are not dis- posable and are a long-term commitment. Save the Animals Rescue Society, Inc. works to find homes for abandoned and/or mistreated animals from Nassau County. The adoption fee is $125-$200, which helps to cover veteri- us and can match up the right personality to the right family environment. That keeps his good reputation intact when the kitties are just perfect! Santa also likes that the adoption fee is only $75 for all the services the Angels give. If you would like to stop in at the Thrift Store and pick one (or two) of us out, we have a special in with the Big Guy and can let him know where you live. We're located at the corner of 14th Street and Sadler Road, just behind the Loop Pizza Grill. Our special holi- day hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This weekend a bunch of us will be at the PetSmart at the new Town Center in Jacksonville. Santa will be there, too, because he likes having his picture taken with puppies and kitties! Come see us there as well! NASSAU HUMANE SOCIETY Meet Corey the cat and Baldy Mama the dog, two of the many wonderful pets available for adoption-at the Nassau Humane Society. Corey came to the shelter as a very young kitten and now has grown into a beauti- ful young adult. He is about 6-7 months old, playful, enjoys sun bathing and his favorite food is anything with Friskies at the beginning of it. Baldy Mama is one of the shelter's long-timers. She has been with them for almost 1 1/2 years. She does not do well with small children or men, but loves women. So if any of you women out there need a girlfriend who will love you unconditionally, Mama is your gal. She is about 3 years old, weighs about 30 pounds, is house- broken, rides in the car well and is a great listener. These loving pets, along with many others, wish to have forever homes by Christmas. The Nassau Humane Society will hold its annual open house on Dec. 17 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and tour the shelter and view the pets in their Christmas attire.
