On a 4-1 vote. city commissioners
Tuesday approved a S1 9 million loan
that will finance the first phase of the
controversial For ward Fernandina
strategic plan Commissioner Jeffrey
Bunch voted against, citing uncer-
tainty about design and engineering
costs.
It was standing room only at the
City Hall meeting, as concerned res-
idents gathered to listen and conm-


ment on financing for the debt, which
was not subject to voter approval.
Based on three proposals, city
financial advisor Ed Stull of
FirstSouthwest bank told commis-
sioners he recommended a revenue
note from SunTrust bank for a total
debt service of s2 3 million at a 15-
year fixed rate of 2.68 percent. The
maximum annual debt service for the
city was calculated at S153,151
The loan will cover Phase I of the
Forward Fernandina strategic plan
that was spearheaded by the Amelia

The city has been negotiating with
the postal service to buy the building,
possibly for use as a new city hall after

MICHAEL PARNELL
News Leader
The State Attorney's Office will
review the city's handling of a conti o.
versial political campaign sign to deter-
mine if a formal investigation should be
opened
Two city residents have formally
complained to the office that the cam-
paign Isign, a banner that hung briefly
over Nor th E ighth Street, was illegal.
"We're going to take a look at it,"
said Assistant StateAttorney Wes
White, director of the Nassau County
office, on Wednesday.
White said his office would review
the evidence presented to it after the
Thanksgiving holiday. He said the mat-
ter is a priority, but not the highest pri-
ority given that two murder trials are
scheduled in December and January.
However, "Election law violations
are something we take seriously," he
said, and the information presented to
him warranted further study.
The banner, which promoted the
candidacies of incumbent Mayor Susan
Steger and Commissioner Eric
Childers, was put up.by city workers
over North Eighth Street near the inter-
section with Centre and Atlantic on
the day before the election.
It was removed on Election Day
because it did not have a disclaimer
required by state law, City Attorney
Tammi Bach said. That disclaimer
requires those making "independent
expenditures" on behalf of candidates
to note that it is paid political advertis-
ing and to put their name on the sign.
Bach reiterated at the city com-
mission meeting Tuesday night that

Mayor Steger noted at one
point that previous city com-
missioners had approved $12.8
million in non-voter-approved
debt since 1996 for 13 different
city projects. The largest of
those loans was $3.7 million
in 2005 for marina improve-
ments. At least nine of those
loans, however, were approved
before the financial crisis of
2008, which caused a precipi-
tous drop in property tax rev-
enues and subsequent city
budget shortfalls.
Resident John Ferry com-
plained the city commission
had overspent in the last two
years, and asked what would
happen if either of the two
paper mills in town went
under. "One just came out of
bankruptcy," he said. "What if
they left town? Where would
the balance come from, except
people paying taxes? It seems
irresponsible in these eco-
nomic times and what the city
is facing."
Resident Dorothea Stillwell
said she was against the
Forward Fernandina plan and
that commissioners should
have let the taxpayers vote on
it. "I think (the taxpayers) have
spoken and they are against
it. ... you should take those
millions of dollars and put the
(tree) lights back on Centre
Street."
Neil Blalock supported
Forward' Fernandina, saying
there were many notable peo-
ple in the past who had made
difficult decisions on how
Fernandina Beach .looks today.
"People of prior generations
worked to make this a better
place for us," he said. "A lot of
decisions weren't popular but
they were the right decisions
at the time."
Resident Judith Lane said
residents should give up "neg-
ativity and pessimism and sit-
ting on our hands.... I ask you
to move forward on this por-
tion (of the plan). Move for-
ward instead of sliding back
in anger."
Jim Powers said that "hun-
dreds of thousand of hours
have gone into- Forward
Fernandina."
"You used your judgment
and made the right decision,"
he told commissioners. "I chal-
lenge you to find any large
company that does not have
debt."
Andrew Curtin scolded
commissioners for putting the
burden of debt on taxpayers
after an election indicated their
real wishes. "The debt to be
paid for by gas fees is com-
pletely out of line," he said.
"Two commissioners are in a
lame duck position ... I think
it's inappropriate and irre-
sponsible. You should table it
and wait for the (newly elect-
ed) commissioners to take it
up."
Resident Dale Dees said
Vice Mayor Tim Poynter
should have abstained from
voting because he owns a busi-
ness downtown, and that
Steger's relatives have inter-
ests in downtown property.
"I'm questioning the ethics
and honesty of this communi-
ty," Dees said.
Steger noted that those are
distant relatives, not immedi-
ate family, and by state law she'


1When does it stop?
Fernandina Beach Commissioner Jeffrey Bunch quar-
reled at length with Curtis Burkette of Zev Cohen &
Associates at Tuesday's commission meeting about paying
for a task order that appeared to have been paid for previ-
ously.
Bunch tangled with Burkette during a resolution for
commissioners to approve $176,318 for consultants Zev
Cohen to engineer, design and do permitting work for Front
Street rehabilitation and for improvements to the Alachua
Street railroad crossing.
According to Bunch. the language in Task Order 3, which
the city has already paid for. was identical to language in Task
Order 5. which was up for commissioner approval.
"If we've already paid you 80,(00)0 to'do it, why is it back
on Task Order 5?" Bunch asked
Burketle explained that the previous task order was for
preparing documents to do permitting with First Coast
Railroad and CSX and other preliminary studies to open
Alachua Street. but that the new task order was "getting into
the true design'" of the project.
"These tasks tonight bring all the studies together and
now we're saying, let's build it," Burkette said.
"I'm listening to you. but my mind is telling me we've
already paid for it." Bunch said.
"What you're trying to say is they're double dipping,"
Mayor Susan Steger -aid to Bunch.
"That verbiage is identical because it describes the serv-
ices Zev Cohen is going to provide," Burkette said. "You paid
for the permitting process (with Task Order 3). People tried
for 12 years and couldn't do it "
"We're doing a project down here that costs $6 million,"
Bunch said at one point. "We're paying about $600.000,
$700,00) just to draw up some plans. Design (costs) should
have been separate, we're going to end up being short.... The
total to date is S243,000 for Zev Cohen. now it's another
$170,000 When does it stop?"


could not recuse herself from
voting on the issue.
"First and foremost, I do
want to thank each and every
one of you for working
through the strategic plan, a
process that was not easy,"
Ron Kurtz said to commis-
sioners. "It takes initiative and
you pursued it. This one has a
hope of success. I truly sup-
port the initiative. I am remind-
ed of Profiles in Courage, a
book that had a great effect
on me. Thank you for taking
the high road in all this."
"I looked at the financing,
and I don't know where you
can get better rates," said res-
ident Clinch Kavanaugh. "It's
very important that Alachua
(Street) is opened.... Nobody
goes down North Front Street,
you have to go through the
port."
"Thank you for working so
hard to get to this point," said
Bill Flynn, president of Friends
of the Library. "I think it's time
to move forward. You're at a
tipping point tonight. I urge
you to approve the $2 million.
When people see the end
result, they'll be happy you did
it."
"The election speaks loud
and clear where the people of
Fernandina Beach stand," said
residentJohn Stevenson. "I'm
not against all of it (but) the


people of Fernandina Beach
have trouble swallowing it
financially. I'm asking some-
one to step up to the plate and
table it, and let the incoming
commissioners handle it."
Resident Jan Cote-Merow
likewise said there are "some
wonderful things about the
plan ... but it's advisable to
table the issue until the incom-
ing commissioners can weigh
in."
Resident Julie Ferreira said
"opening up Alachua Street is
a long-term gamble ... putting
in infrastructure so the water-
front can develop is a huge
gamble. At least spend $2 mil-
lion on something we can use
immediately."
Resident Deb Stevenson
said she was a retired engi-
neer, and that the strategic
plan "is not ready for promo-
tion at all." She also said the
plan needed more risk analysis
and a mitigation plan in case
anything goes wrong. "It
sounds like a skeletal struc-
ture with a lot of risks associ-
ated with it," she said..
"Forward Fernandina is a
lovely catch phrase," said res-
ident Pat Fitzgerald. "This
should have been put to ref-
erendum. The taxpayers
should have voted on it. This is
not democracy."

Strategic plan updated


ANGELA DAUGIIT IRY
News Leader

City Manager Michael
Czymbor gave a presentation
of the first quarterly update of
the Forward Fernandina strate-
gic plan at a Tuesday work ses-
sion before commissioners
voted on taking out a loan to
fund the first phase.
The update outlined the his-
tory of the project and a list of
those involved, with an
overview of expectations
as far as a construction sched-
ule, funding and payment
strategies, and engineering
design plans.
According to the Czymbor's
presentation, the entire
Forward Fernandina project
cost has been revised at an esti-
mated $5.5 million. The first
phase of the project, with a debt
service of about $2 million, is to
be paid for by an increase in
electrical franchise fees,
Czymbor said, which would
amount to about an extra 55
cents per $100 on Florida Public
Utility bills.
Commissioners later
approved a $2.3 million bank
loan for the first phase of the
project at their regular Tuesday
meeting.
Czymbor said the electric
franchise fee debt could grad-
ually be transferred to natural
gas franchise fees once FPU
brings natural gas to the island,
or when tax revenues start
coming in from the Community
Redevelopment Area.
However, natural gas serv-
ices are not scheduled to come
into Nassau County until late
next year, and the CRA has
made virtually no money thus
far because there has been very
little development in the desig-
nated area to bring in tax rev-
enues.
Czymbor said in his update
that a committee of local engi-
neers and architects is being
formed to amend the water-
front master plan, which needs
to be adjusted because several
projects, such as moving the
city boat ramp, were deemed
inappropriate. The local engi-
neers/architects chosen for the
committee are Nick Gillette,
John Cotner, Jose Miranda and
Eric Bartelt, who have all
worked previously on city proj-
ects, boards and committees.
Czymbor also an said an out-
side firm will be hired to assist
the city and consulting firm Zev
Cohen for construction man-
agement, if they are approved


by the city
C commission
f 1 at their Dec.
: t6 meeting.
Most of the
construction
would occur
in 2013.
n 60 l V i c e
Czymbor Mayor Tim
P o y n t e r
noted during
the presentation that the
engineers and architects "have
been selected to help make
sure the (waterfront) plan is
reworked. They're not trying
to re-create a new master plan
... (This is) so we have a little
more confidence in what's hap-
pening."
The four goals of the
Forward Fernandina plan,
according to the presentation,
are wat erfront redevelopment,.
downtown revitalization, South
Eighth Street improvements
and development of neighbor-
hoods close to the downtown
core.
Goal 1 of the plan includes
waterfront and Front Street
development, improving con-
ditions at Front Street and rail-
road crossings, improving
Parking Lots C and D), amend-
ing the waterfront park


conceptual plan and making
other improvements lo Front
Street.
According to the updatC,
waterfront park plan develop-
ment was estimated to be final-
ized by May 2012, and a review
of 60 percent of final Front
Street design plans is expect-
ed to be finished by April 2012.
Improvements to the Alachua
Street crossing should be done
by August 2012, according to
Czymbor's update.
Czymbor said the strategic
plan's goals are "interrelated
and dependent on each other,"
and that it is "critical that all
stakeholders understand the
project and their roles and
responsibilities."
Stakeholders include elect-
ed officials, key members of
city staff, financial, engineer-
ing and design advisors, per-
mitting agencies, utility com-
panies, tourism groups and
other'agencies. Collaborative
stakeholders were defined as
city residents, historic district
and Eighth Street property
owners, the local media,
tourism groups, the Amelia
Island Museum of History and
other local groups and organi-
zations.

Continued from 1A
the banner was not removed
because of the political opinions
expressed. She said the city
does not regulate the content
of signs except for obsc,.. tiii.'
because of federal rights to free-

The sign code regulates
"time, place and manner," but
not content, Bach said, and city
code does not prohibit such
political signs in that location.
Local resident Debbie
Stalego vigorously disagreed,
noting that banners in that loca-

She maintained that city code
does prohibit political signs in
the right of way of streets.
She also told commission-

site on Nov. 11.
The postal service has lost
more than $5 billion in the cur-
rent fiscal year and is looking to
reduce costs and sell as many as
3,600 buildings across the coun-
try. Other historic post office
buildings are in the process of
being sold or have been sold
for renovation to private enti-
ties.
The post office building in
Fernandina was constructed in
1910. The city helped sponsor
an architectural study of the
structure last year, and has put
aside about $350,000 to stabi-
lize the building should it be
purchased by the city.

One.of those who formally
complained to the State
Attorney's Office was local res-

email Nov. 9 he wrote, "A bold
and apparently illegal attempt
to corrupt and subvert yester-
day's Fernandina Beach gener-
al election was made yesterday
with assistance (or no resist-

Thompson cited specific


Renovation costs, however, are
estimated in the millions, and
the city has not allocated those
funds. City officials have said
grants could be sought to meet
those expenses.
The USPS will hold a public
meeting at 6:30 p.m. today in
the former First Baptist Church,
412 Alachua St., to discuss the
possibility of closing the down-
town post office. A new "Village

Thanksgvtngpet tips
Nassau County Animal Services offers safety tips to keep
in mind during this Thanksgiving holiday.
*A lew small boneless pieces of well-cooked turkey, a
taste of mashed potato or even a lick of pumpkin pie should-
n't pose a problem. However, don't allow your pets to
overindulge as they could wind up with a case of stomach
upset, diarrhea or, worse, an inflammatory condition of the
pancreas known as pancreatitis. In fact, it's best to keep pets"
on their regular diets during the holidays
If you are looking for a safe treat for your dog. try mixing
a teaspoon of canned pumpkin in dry food for a special treat.
Not too much or your pet may develop extremely soft, messy
stools
*Always avoid giving your pet any type of meat bones, all
bones can cause problems. Poultry bones easily splinter and
can cause serious damage to your pet's gastrointestinal tract
and even large knuckle bones can cause an obstruction.
Sage can make your Thanksgiving stuffing taste delish,
but it and many other herbs contain essential oils and resins
that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous
system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats
are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils
Don't spoil your pet's holiday by giving him raw bread
dough. When raw bread dough is ingested, an animal's body
heat causes the dough to rise in his stomach As it expands.
the pet may experience vomiting, severe abdominal pain
and bloating, which could become a life-threatening emer-
gency, requiring surgery.
Other foods to keep your pets away from include choco-
late, onions, baked goods and, of course, alcoholic bever-
ages, If your pet does become ill or ingests a toxic sub-
stance, immediately contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA
Animal Poison Control Hotline at 888-426-4435
After you've enjoyed your turkey this Thanksgiving,
Instead ot putting the carcass In the trash, wrap it in two
plastic grocery bags and put It In your freezer until your next
trash pickup day. This way you'ie certain to prevent your pet
from getting into your trash and a possible choking hazard.

SIt's never a good idea to head offshore
alone but I was feeling seasonally frisky and
tossed caution to the wind. I hauled in my
anchor and reeled in my line and keyed up the
ledge waypoint numbers on my GPS.
Ten minutes later, I was clearing the chan-
nel and feeling the cool salt spray on my face
as my little 18-footer skidded along. Once I was
sure I was clear of all the treacherous sandbars
that dot the south end of the island, I opened
up the'throttle and trimmed her at around 40
miles an hour. In no time, the GPS beeped that
I was approaching my waypoint. I marked fish
and structure on the bottom arid dropped the
anchor.
I'd been fishing about a half hour when I.
happened to turn and look towards land. All I
could see was a solid curtain of white coming
at me. An inversion layer had created a fog'
bank that was, making its way seaward in a
hurry. I was tempted to wait it out but decided
it would be prudent to go in. It was upon me by
the time I stowed my anchor the biggest
white cat I ever saw.

looked back, it was beginning to lift. Funny
thing, as eerie asit was, I never was afraid.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


Election
I attended the city commission
meeting Tuesday to discuss the ille-
gal campaign sign that was placed
on North Eighth Street Nov. 8 and
taken down Nov. 9. In explaining
to the commissioners as'to why the
sign was illegal, the state laws and
city ordinances violated along with
misuse of taxpayer dollars, before I
finished I was cut off by the mayor.
I asked if the violation of election
laws was not important enough to
allowme to finish and was told, "We
have a 3-minute limit."
Funny that rule is enforced, but
according to the city attorney our
code of ordinances pertaining to
these issues are "arcane" and the,
city cannot dictate such issues. The
problem is that city employees on
city time put up an illegal campaign
sign, so the city defacto endorsed
candidates at taxpayer expense. '
Our codes of ordinances are re-
codified on a regular basis. Ouri
codes of ordinances were re-codi-
fied in May 2011, sinde our' ordi-
nances pertaining to elections and
banners are "arcane.", so not
enforceable, changed and correct-
ed when the election ordinance was.
changed to delay the election until
November? The banner ordinance
was changed in 2007. That puts all
ordinances into question by city
attorney logic.
,So my suggestion is next time a
city resident wants to do something
that requires permits, don't both-
er. Just do it The codes and fees are
probably unenforceable.

Re: "Who is Occupy Wall Street?
(Nov.2).'
This is about how we survive as
a country and go forward. This
countrywas founded on the basis of
fairness. The original Boston Tea
Party was a protest against the
British unfair taxes with no repre-
sentation. They threw the tea in the
harbor.
The 99 percent want fairness for
'a majority of citizens. Whenever
there has been social injustice in
this country, citizens unite. No one
is against people prospering but.
when skewed for a small minority
it's unfair to the whole society. Thus
the founding fathers and the
Constitution addressed concerns of
landowners, mostly whites. Blacks
were three-fifths of a person. Thus
the Civil War was fought to change
a horrific status quo. After many
years of segregation and Jim Crow,
the civil rights movement began.,

FPL
Re: "FPL," .Nov. 11.
Yes, we have had the same kind
of service. We live in Nassau Village
off Lem Turner Road in Callahan.
This summer has been the worst.
One Sunday in July,-power was out
for over three hours. I called FPL
and was given 'the top man in St.
Augustine. It has messed up our
water softener. He said they were to
come out and replace some of the.
old transformers. We have seen no
one. The past two weeks we have
had two power surges and a 30-
minute power failure.
I have a Down.syndrome son
and he cannot stand change and
surely not something like this.
So I have to deal with this, too.'

The "Thanks for the memories:
A dog's life" by John Hartrich's dog
Leo (Nov. 16) was as heart-warming
as it was well written.
Ten years ago when I told a
friend I was buying property on
Amelia Island he said when I do
that one of the first things I should
do 'is look up John Hartrich. "He
was the best neighbor I ever had
and my wife and I, as well as all the
other neighbors, miss him terribly,"
he said.
Well, I looked John up and my
friend was right He turned outto be
a good friend as well as a good per-
son. He is one of the people that
make life on this island so enjoy-
able. .
Leo was lucky to have such a
kind and thoughtful master.

VIEWPOINT/KATY BARCO/FLORIDA WILDLIFE COMMISSION


Havens for wildlife, and people


We are incredibly fortunate to have
a vast system of public lands in
Florida. Over the years, the state
has'acquired a range of local and
state parks, forests and a wildlife management
area system that is one of the largest in the
nation. These lands sustain our fish and
wildlife and maintain our outdoor heritage and
our connection with the natural world.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) operates our wildlife man-
agement areas under a multiple-use concept,
accommodating a range of public uses that are
compatible with fish and wildlife management:
Wildlife management areas are the only places
where such varied activities as hiking, pad-
dling, hunting, wildlife viewing or horseback
riding may be so widely available.
Most importantly, our WMAs, as we call
them, have a long history of multiple recre-
ational activities conducted safely.
Millions of people visit our management,
areas every year to fish, view wildlife, hunt and
explore on foot, horseback or boat. Those who
come experience safe areas of scenic beauty


with abundant wildlife because of the well-
managed habitat there. Sharing these
resources during hunting seasons is no excep-
tion.
As Florida has urbanized, fewer Floridians
participate in or have been exposed to hunt-
ing. This can lead to unnecessary conflicts
between users based on a lack of understand-
ing and inaccurate perceptions. Even worse,
people may avoid visiting some of the most
beautiful places in our state. Learning about
hunting can change these misperceptions.
All hunters born after 1975 are required to
complete a hunter safety course before they
can purchase a license. This requirement con-
tributes to Florida's long record of safely offer-
ing hunting with other activities on public .
lands. The National Safety Council documents
hunting as one of the safest types of outdoor
'recreation, and it continues to become safer.
A check of the different WMA locations at
MyFWC.com/Recreation quickly allows visi-
tors to review the hunting calendar and plan a
trip around hunting activity if they so desire.
Additional information is provided that


explains the character and popularity of hunt-
ing seasons.
* For example, general gun season draws the
most users. During small game season, we
typically see fewer hunters on public lands.
Shooting hours are noon to sunset for the first
phase of dove season. During spring turkey
season, shooting hours end at 1 p.m. Visitors
can use this type of information to plan the
experience they are seeking.
All of us share the same desire to enjoy the
outdoors. Hunters need to welcome other
wildlife management area users, and these
users should extend the same courtesy to
hunters and to each other.
By reaching out to get to know one anoth-
er, we can reduce potential conflicts and woik
together to sustain our public lands.
Through mutual understanding and
respect, we can continue our heritage of
access to public lands for ourselves and for
future generations.
Barco, a Jacksonville resident, has been an
FWC commissioner since 2004 and was elected
chairman in June.

A resident since 2006, Kellie Marie Lewis says she
likes the small-town atmosphere of Yulee.
"We built a house here to get away from the hectic
pace in Jacksonville."
As department manager for the candy section at the
Walmart Supercenter in Yulee, Lewis enjoys seeing
familiar faces as she goes about her daily duties. She
appreciates the sense of community among the employ-
ees and in her neighborhood.
"People just seem to come together more here than
they do in Jacksonville," she said.
Leisure time finds Lewis going out to the
boat, watching her granddaughter Angel cheer-
leading, or spending time with her boyfriend Todd, her
grandson Charlie, and her lovable mutts, Nubby and
Tubby.
A breast cancer survivor, Lewis is active with the
American Cancer Society and takes part in Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer. She and her grandchil-
dren participated in the recent Relay for Life held at'
Yulee High School.

W- lien asked why
t hey decided to
create a sanctu-
ar y for birds
and wildlife in theiryard,
Nancy and Jack Dickson's
answer was simple: "Because
they belong here. They were
here.before we (humans)
invaded their turf Also,
because we derive great satis-
faction from watching the but-
terflies dart through the yard,
pausing to sip from the flow-
ers, and hearing the birds'
Song and watching them."
The National Wildlife
Federation recently recog-
inized the Dicksons' property
as a Certified Wildlife Habitat.

"We decided when we
retired to become as carbon

Dickson.
The home's solar panels
are part of that effort, he
added.
"Once you start thinking -
green, you find more and
more ways to do that," agreed
his wife.
The addition of a whole-

keep energy costs down.

'Instrument Zoo' seeks volunteers


Just what is the world is the
Instrument Zoo? It is a program spon-
sored by the Amelia Residents In Action
for the Symphony (ARIAS) that takes 30-
plus instruments into the fourth grades
in all Nassau County schools. Each stu-
dent has hands-on fun and instruction
about each instrument, hopefully plant-
ing a,seed in each child for taking advan-
tage of music education opportunities
and an appreciation of music.


The program is staffed by volunteers,
needing 14 people on each of 21 morn-
ings scheduled during January and
February. Both men and women are wel-
come currently there are 12 married
couples among the volunteers.
Organizers hope that each committed
volunteer would give a maximum of six
mornings over the two-month program.
You do not need to know how to play an
instrument an all-you-need-to-know,


hands-on workshop will be held in early
January.
If you like children and would like to
contribute a little of your time to making
a lifelong difference in the lives of more
than 800 nine-year-olds, please call to join
the family of volunteers. You'll be glad
you did, and so will ARIAS. Contact
Barbara Zacheis, Instrument Zoo coordi-
nator, at 321-5639, or Rachel Smith,
scheduler, at'491-3829.

Kromov, Russia 2009, 112 minutes,
Andrey Razenkov
The scene is a gorgeous Paris in the
beginning of the 20th century. The char-
acters are immigrants from Russia. The
main intrigue is the hunt for $250 million
in gold left in Paris banks after the fall of
Tsarist Russia. This capital is under the
control of Count Kromov, a former
attach of the Russian Empire in France.
He does not consider the money his and
does not take it, only adding to the enthu-
siasm of those who are eager to make
their fortune in troubled times. Who will
eventually possess this wealth? How will
the gold change the life of Count
Kromov?

anymore). A victim of the economy, rag-
ing against the universe, alienated and
facing the rest of his life in dread, Tony
* turns to crime to turn a buck and proves

performance, their deceitful I game spi-
rals ever more out of control.
