have filed legally required campaign
treasurer's reports with the,Nassau
County Supervisor of Elections. The
reports reflect money raised and

ardent opponent of the Forward*

joins new commissioner Charles
Corbett, who defeated incumbent
Susan Steger last month, in -.taking
office on the.city commission Dec. 20.

Electricity fee rse to pay



for Forward Fernandina


ANGELA DAUGHTRY
News-Leader
Fernandina Beach Commissioners
unanimously approved Tuesday an
increase for local electricity customers
to pay for an initial Forward
Fernandina debt of about S2 million
Commissioners also approved a
new natural gas franchise agreement,
also with Florida Public Utilities, that
might ultimately help pay for some of
the strategic plan's costs.
Commissioners also chose local
engineering and planning firm
McCranie & Associates for project
management/communication servic-
es for some Forward Fernandina proj-
ects for the city downtown and water-
front. The cost for those services could
be up to 8250,000, according to the
city manager.
The electrical franchise fee
increase with Florida Public Utilities
brings the fee up to 5.05 percent from
4.55 percent. The additional 55 cents
per $100 paid by customers will go to ..
pay off a loan for Forward Fernandina.
Commissioners last month
approved a $1.9 million loan that will
finance the first phase of the contro-
versial strategic plan. The loan com-
prises a revenue note from SunTrust
bank for a total debt service of 82.3 mil-

cent The maximum annual debt serv-
ice for the city was calculated at
$153,151.
,- The loan will cover Phase I of tht.
Forward Fernandina -trategki plan
that was spearheaded by the Amelia
Island Fernandina Restoration
Foundation earlier this year
"The proposed debt service repay-
ment pursuant to the adopted F2 plan
is to be derived from a small incre-
mental increase in the electrical fran-
chise fees." a city document states
That rate will be adjusted according to
how much comes in from future nat-
ural gas franchise fees and Community
Redevelopment Area revenues as
waterfront economic growth gener-
ates additional tax income.
In a presentation at the meeting.
FPU Regional Manager Mark
Cutshaw said that pipelines carrying


natural gas would be placed under the
Shave Bridge and into Fernandina
Beach next year through a partner-
ship with TECO/Peoples Gas and
Peninsula Pipelines Cutshaw said the
company would directionally bore

Lower utility rates


for FPU, FPL


. TALLAHASSEE -The Flori-
da Public Service Commission
has derived Fldrida Public
Utilities Company's request to
change the methodology regar-
ding its annual cost recovery..
The current me-thod will lead to
cost decreases in January for
Fernandina Beach customers
Starting in January the
monthly bill charge for FPir's
re-sidential customers using
1,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) will
decrease from $182.34 to
.129.07, a change of $3.27.
Recovery amounts included
in FPLi's 2012 bill include fuel
and purchased power, S93 11,
conservation S1.15 and gross
receipts tax,. 3 23.
By Floirida statute and estab-.
lished commission policy, elec-
Sic utilities may recover cer-
tain expenses from custonlers
through cost recovery charges
adjusted annually by the PSC.
Cost recovery is allowed on fuel
and purchased powei, capacity
(including nuclear), conserva-
tion and environniental require-
ments. Utilities may not. how-
ev-r'. make a profit on fuel
charges.
The commission also has
approved lower cost recovery


charges beginning in January
for Flkirida Power & Light
Company (FPL), which serves
many Nassau County cus-
tomers. Monthly bill charges
for each utility's residential cus-
tomer using 1,000 kilowatt
hours (kWhi will decrease from
$96.54 to .-94.62, a change of
$1.92.
"Fuel costs represent about
,36 percent of a typical FPL res-
idential customer's electric bill,"
said PSC Chairman Art
Graham. "The commission's
authority to review utilities'
requests for fuel cost adjust-
ments, especially when they
notice a reduction in their pro-
jected costs, helps protect con-
sumei s' bills year-round "
Typically, the PSC reviews
and determines fuel charges
annually in November to reflect
changing fuel costs. FPL re-
quested a mid-course fuel
charge adjustment due to lower
actual fuel costs for 2011 and
lower projected natural gas
prices for 2012 Florida's inves-
tor-owned utilities are not allow-
ed to earn a profit on the cost of
fuel to generate electricity'.

gence of developing econo-
mies, especially in Asia, is
changing world demand.
Worldwide sales have steadily
increased every year, other
than a slight dip in 2009, influ-
enced by a low sales rate here
in our'country. Every major
manufacturer is tweaking their

That is-about to change as
smaller platforms, being
brought on by tougher gas
mileage mandates by the fed-
eral government,,will create a
new generation of smaller
American vehicles. Detroit and
other manufacturers around
the world are producing
"world cars" with platforms
designed to appeal to the mass-
es. This standardization is cost.
efficient and consistent for a
connected world market. The
days of us having our own
unique American vehicles is
condensing. It won't go away,.
I'm happy to predict, but we
will be dancing to a global'

The holidays sneak up on

The 2012 elections are fast
approaching and the elections
office needs your help. As a

tant things you can do before
voting in an election is to make
sure that the,information on

Questions to ask yourself
before the elections include,
"Have I had an address
change?'" and "Has my signa-
ture or mark' changed?" A cur-
rent residence and mailing
address are essential' so that
important election information
such as sample ballots, polling
place change notices, absentee

will ensure that you are regis-

Community association collection crisis


crisis in Florida, and
unlike the crisis
caused by greedy
bankers, Wall Street finan-.
ciers and careless owners, it
is homegrown and affects mil-
lions pf Floridians. It's the
community association collec-
tion crisis. Associations and
their members are caught
between mortgage foreclo-.
S sures taking 500 days to con-
clud-e and owners who do not
understand that failure to pay.
can result in sale of home-
stead property. Directors..
community association man-
agers and lawyers are seen as.
greedy "Condo Commandos"
who'exist to punish owners.,
: The'reality is quite different.
Associations are usually
not-for-profit corporations,
where every owner is a mem-
ber. and has voting rights: The
association is runr by an elect-
ed boal d If doii ctors.. volun-
eers i-.itih *i he thankles-s job of,
operating the conmminitrnir
[ Deed restrictions are record-


ed in the public records,
include the rights and obliga-
tions of owners and the asso-
ciation, including provisions
about setting and collecting
assessments. Every potential
owner has the right to fully
read them and understand
their rights and obligations
'before they buy a home.
To operate, associations
mustlevy assessments.'The,
amounts vary from few hun-
dred dollars per year to hun-
dreds of dollars ormore per
month. In order to function,
it's necessary that 100 per-
cent of the homeowners pay
their share. Associations can-
not run deficits. With gaping
holes in the, budget, directors
are forced to raise assess-,
ments on owners who pay or
cut services. They cannot.
drain rhe'pool or fence off of
the tennis court. This is unfair
to. the people who meet their
obligations The' boiad of
director i-s '-,bigated by the
deed res-triction- to collect
as-sessments fI'rom delinquent


The real answer is forpeople to take
personal responsibility for their actions.
Hopefully the recent coverage by the media
will wake people up to the moral hazard of
not paying the assessments that they agreed to
upon purchasing their home.


owners. The question is, how?
The process of making
and collecting assessments is
set forth in the deed restric-
tions as well as state law. All
owners are given several
notices of what they owe ....
before it goes to counsel. As a
last resort, legal procedures
are started..First, the law
i equiies that owners receive
an iniial demand by certified,
mail. They are sent at l-:a-st
two certified mail demands
over 60 days before formal
lecal action is commenced. At .
thii point the bo:i d has nio
other option, to ful0ce I[ i
owner to pay w\ilhour goirig to
cOUl [.


In court the association
has the same powers as a sec-e
ond mortgage holder or
mechanics lien. It can either
.seek a personal money judg-
ment against a delinquent
owner or foreclose the lien.
This right has existed for
hundred i of ye' -. going, .
back to the Common Law of
England.. Money judgments,

redecly A money idimnl is


nothing more than a piece of
paper that allows its owner to
spend more money chasing
down a debtor to try and col-
lect. Foreclosure results in
sale of the property. In a lien'
foreclosure, a suit is filed and
served, and after several
motions are filed, a foreclo-
sure judgment can be .,
entered. The process takes an
average of about seven
months to conclude. Owners
*in litigation receive copies of
every pleading throughout a

SSeamless Christmas decorating


The annual Christmas decorating went so
seamlessly, my wife and I were in disbelief.
Almost all the bulbs worked. Nothing shorted
out or caught fire yes, it did happen one year
and nary a cuss word was uttered. We
worked blissfully side by side, humming
Christmas carols and when it got dark, we lit
all the sidewalk sconces, shrubbery lights, the
green rope lights bordering the flower beds
and the big wreaths over the front windows
and the garage and stood back to admire our
handiwork.
See, I got smart this year with the outside
decorations. Rather than be the typical
American male and just plow through things
like a herd of elephants in-a telephone booth, I
actually read and followed directions before
,setting out to do any of the decorating tasks.
My wife's been after me for years to read the
darn things but they confuse me and so I jist
wing it. But this year we, that is I, approached
the annual ritual of Christmas decorating like a
,professional and the results ain't half bad, I
have to admit. .
Now, having said all that, one would think
that when,one takes the same practical
approach to something so rudimentary as
erecting an 8-foot Douglas fir tree in the living
room that the results would be just as satisfac-
Story.
And one would be fooling oneself.
' For some reason, Ijust cannot get the hang
of making a Christmas tree stand as straight as


a wooden soldier. Instead,
what results is.something a
little akin to Uncle Hal, green.
around the gills and slouch-
ing toward the kitchen for
another shot of eggnog,
heavy on the nog. For.the
past 15 years or so, it happens
every year.
Last year was a complete
CUP OF disaster. Not only did I buy a
JOE tree that would've taken first
.... prize in an ugly Christmas
tree contest according to-my'
Joe Palmer wife and kids, butwe never ,
could get it to stand up
straight in the Christmas tree stand. It leaned
to the left. It leaned to the right It leaned for-
ward. It leaned backward. No matter how we
shimmed it or propped it, the dang thing went
in the opposite direction. It was almost as if to
say, yeah, I know I'm ugly and I know that you,
know I'm ugly so just hang some lights and tin-,
sel on me and.be done with it. And we finally
did just that. ,
This year, She Who Must Be Obyed would
not allow me to go to the Christmas tree lot
alone; despite my assurances that evenhLas
Vegas wouldn't put decent odds. on me making
the same hideous choice twice. Nope, she '
insisted on wounding my already fragile pride
and going along to advise and'supervise: We
fell in love with the flrst- one we found. It had


the perfect conical shape, the perfect height,
wasn't full of gaps and smelled as enticing as a
platter of fried fish. We had the Christmas tree
-lot attendant make a fresh cut on the trunk so
as to draw water better and then I strapped it to
the roof racks and off we went, singing
Christmas carols and congratulating ourselves.
We have a Christmas tree stand that's com-
prised of a six-inch, three-quarter-inch steel
spike on four legs. You drill a hole in the base
. of the tree, insert the spike and stand it up and
it's supposed to stand up straight. I usually get
in a hurry and drill the hole off kilter and when
we stand it up well we've already talked
about that, haven't we?
But this year I decided to take my time and
do it right and surely I'd end up with a picture
perfect erect tree. My wife.and I laid the tree
across chairs on our back deck to support it
'and I borrowed my neighbor'siheavy-duty drill
because the bit I found to bore the hole was
too big for mine. My wife measured to make
sure the bit was centered on the base of the
trunk and, as I began to drill, she made sure I
was drilling "onithe level."
We removed the bit from the, hole, relishing
the scent of fresh wood shavings and stood put
the tree 6n the stand.,
It leaned.
"That does 'it," my wife complained. "This is
no fun. No fun at all. We're getting an artificial
tree nextryear."
I'll bet I can make one of those lean, too.-


EDITORIAL


Sarah Pelican

for commission

In this space on Nov. 2 we wrote
"Fernandina Beach voters have an
important choice Tuesday when they
go to the polls 'Stay th<, course' 'or
vote for change Ve endorse change."
That remains our position.
We are halfway there with the Nov. 8
election of Charles Corbett over Mayor
Susan Steger and the defeat of incumbent
Commissioner Eric Childers. who ran third
behind two challengers.
This Tuesday voters have a runoff elec-
tion choice between Sarah P,-licari and John
Elwell.' We endorse Pelican, for the same
reasons we gave in our November editorial
"Forward Fernandina is an ill-conceived,
ill-funded strategic plan that does not have
broad public support "
"Who pays for this? Rather than an
assessment on those property owners who
would benefit, we all do. All residents and
business owners would be levied an addi-
tional . surcharge on their electric bills."
"Voters were not given an opportunity to
ratify this funding scheme because. as
Pelican. has,noted, vou no duPt would Jave..
s Id ,a*,, ,' -- Vnw ,.. i-
"Our cit management has prod ime
and again to be woefully inadequate to the
tasks at hand
Pelican has b.en involved in owu commu-
nity and earned the respect and trust vf
those who hae worked with her Many of
them have. contributed to her campaign.
Elwell says all the right things about
rolling back Forward Fernandina and prop-
erly managing the city bureaucracy, but the
supporters of his campaign speak volumes
The chief proponents of Forward
Fernandina have contributed money to
Elwell's campaign. they have posted his
signs in their yards; they are organizing
phone trees and other get-out-the-vote
efforts on his behalf If actions speak liuder
than words, their actions indicate they
believe Elwell will allow their strategic plan
to go forward.
Sarah Pelican will not She has said time
and again this is not the time for this plan -
we can't afford it She will work with
Corbettto thwart it until the time is right
.and.only after the plan has broader public
support
You didn't get a chance to vote on the,.
first phase of For ward Fernandina 'he city
commission has voted to borrow up to $2
S. million, impose additional fRes on your elec-:
tricity bill to pay for it and move ahead with
ill-considered waterfront improvements
When you did have a chance to vote, you
elected Corbellt and cast out the two incum-
:bents who supported Forward Fernandina
There is one more opportunity to weigh
in -this Tuesday The Forward Fernandina
advocates will surely come out to vote for
Flwell ..
We urge you to come out and vote fi:,r
Pelican instead. That is the best way for-
ward.


FOR THE RECORD

"Follow the money." a letter to the editor in
the Dec 7 issue. Incorrectly asserted that the
husband of the wife who'wrdte a previous let-
ter, "Crossroads" (Dec. 2), was campaign treas-
urer when Vice Mayor Tim Poynter was elect-.
ed city commissioner. That was incorrect;
Neil Blalock was Poynter's campaign treas-
urer; his wife did riot write the first letter; and
the Blalocks are not involved in the campaign
for John Elwell for city commission..
Douglas Newton, whose wife Cynthia
Newfon .wrote the "Crossroads" letter, is cam-
paign treasurer for Elwell. He was not formnial-
ly involved in Poynter's campaign n nor a donor
to that campaign, according to records.

rn-indui that there are 12 more
shopping days to Christmas, but to.
the candidates who are vying for

Fernandina Beach deserves the'

your "one vote" could be their win-

Maklng the
impossible possible
On Satl.iiday. Dec 5, I had the
great privilege of attending the
memorial 'i vice for Hazel Reid
Jnries. ''iii passed a'way on Nov. 17
at the age.- i i5 Hazel wasaformer
chaii of the F[ernandina Beach
Library Building Committee, as well
as a member of the Nassau County
Library Advisory Committee With
the able ass-istancre.of the late
Martha r"Mar ty'"iAllison. she was
instrumental in obtaining funding
anrd sIppuI I in the mid-',Os for our
Liurrenrt library building, despite-
h,:ated controversies over funding
and location
Controver ies over library fund-
ing and li.catlin' Sound familial'
L[cal libi al y -upporters today con-
front nearly four decades later -
many of the- same challenges these
SI'.'o tenacious dies did in acquiring
library facility to me,-t the needs of
a changing populace Back'in 1976.
'-.when Hazel \as lobbying for a new
ibar\y building. the number of
..library borrowers each year had
rocketed ti Fi.2100 (from 2.300). and
Sth collection had grownfrom3,299
holdings to more than 18,000. Hazel
.sucessfully ai gued that more'
appropi iate space was, needed to,
accommodate that growth.
Today we are at a similar cross-
roads In 2011, we have nearly seven
lies the nuirmbbr of library patrons
annually ind frie times the number
of library holdings than we did dur-
ing our nation's bicentennial. But
the changes go way beyond these
two data points. In :1976, there were
,no personal computers. Today our
library is planted firmly in the digi-
tal age, housing computers that
require more space than p:'iple di..
And it offers services that go way,
beyond the lending of books pro-
viding access to computers (one-
third of Americans do not have com-
puters at home), online databases
and e-books; processing applications
for U.S. passports; and assisting cus-
tomers seeking access to e-govern-
ment services, applying for jobs or
seeking to upgrade their skills.
Whenever I feel discouraged
about the prospects for upgrading
our library, I take heart in Hazel's
example. After all, we have already
garnered substantial financial sup-,
port from the city and county com-
missionrs, as well as meaningful
moral supportfrom more than 1.3'1.m.
citizens and library patrons who'
have signed petitions asking to relo-
cate our library to a more up-to-date,
right-sized facility. Ialso derive com-
fort from the immortal words of the
first prime minister of Israel, David
Ben-Gurion: "Difficult things we do
quickly. The impossible takes a little
longer."
Fortunately, our tradition of pas-

sionate library support. both public
and private, stretches way back and
shows no signs of abating in theI
faceof"lthe impossible" Other bene-
factors in the tenacious mold of
Hazel and Martv have included the
late Katherine Peacock, a champion
of children's programs who worked
at the libi ary for many years, and the
late Tonm Martin, a former president
of the Friends of the Fernandina
Beach Library who worked tire-
lessly to ensure full library funding
And new supporter.; jiir us all thl:
time, believing our local library to be
an essential part of the communi-
ty's DNA That's why the Friends
of the Fernandina Beach Library

sioners meeting on Monday.

"Re: Nov. 30 story "City vill pay to

Welcome to the banking and real
estate world where the finger point-
ing always has at least three fingers
pointing back to Bank of America.
Now multiply that by virtually every
bank you know. These are the peo-
ple we bailed out and virtually own.

Can't get the big bank to pay. for

onr This is what realtors in Nassau
County and around the U.S. have
"been dealing with for four years.
I wrote a letter several months
ago about the $1 billion government
program giving back around $478
million of the $1 billion because they
could riot get the money through
the banking system to the people
who applied for the money. This is
an instant replay that takes place
thousands of times every day across
the country. It is one of the major
causes the real estate industry can-
not get any traction. The lenders do

When Andy Rooney died, one of
his famous quotes was, "I wish we

Personally, I wish they could invent
a pill for greed. After 'Alan
Greenspan,retired, he was asked if
another financial collapse could hap-
pen again. His answer was, "As long
as there is greed around, it will more
than likely happen again."
'Why did a recent poll of
Americans recently give the gov-
ernment a 9 percent approval rat-
ing? Ask the banks how much they
are contributing to this number. We
are a society, like the Romans, who
would rather enslave the common
person rather than make it possible
to move forward.
One of the biggest anchors drag-
ging behind economic recovery is
the real estate industry. Now you
have a real live, next-door neighbor
example of why most of us thinkwe
have been banging our heads
against the wall to help customers
buy and sell homes. If the largest
holder of mortgages in the U.S. can
make a small town clean up their
(BOA) mess, imagine dealing with
a customer who makes a full price
cash offer on a property like this*
only to find out the system will beat
them down and make sure the
house does not sell.

Surfing and fishing
I. along with 5 other men, recent-
ly visited Fernandina on a fishing
trip We have been coming for over
10 years to fish on the pier at Amelia
1 ByThe Sea.
''There have always been surfers
near the pier but this year the
surfers were very near both the
,sides and the end of the pier We
had ave:-bal altercation with sever-
al of the surfers, Who told us they
were. allowed to surf within 30 feet
of the pier. I called the local police
department to see if this were true
and was told that the city did not
have any ordinances concerning
this matter.
I understand that this is unusu-
al in Florida with many cities and/or
counties having .ordinances .con-
cerning distance policies near piers.
We spent considerable amounts of
money in your community to visit
and fish from this pier. However,
we are considering moving our
annual twice a year trip to'
Fernandina due to the actions of a
few inconsiderate surfers. The pier
offers only a limited area in which
to fish while the surfers have a wide
variety of areas in which to enjoy
themselves.
We would encourage the proper
authorities who have the responsi-
bility to regulate these type of activ-
ities to consider passing an ordi-
nance concerning reasonable
distances from the pier for surfing
activities. We are sure the taxpay-
ers who own condos and the pier
itself would welcome some
response in order to keep their
guests coming back year after year.

Brag about what Jesus has done


T he gracious hand of our God is
on everyone who looks to
Him, but His anger is against
all who forsake Him. -
When our deliverance comes, how
quickly we forget to continue to rely on
the one who brought about our liberty.
When we have decreed, declared, shout-
ed about and rejoiced over what God .
has done for us, we should not ask ,
another.human the means to continue
what God has begun.
Too often we suddenly begin to con-
sider how others can be our source of
success. God has not brought us out of
darkness into His will only to.abandon
us, rather He has rescued us from dark-
ness and brought us into the Kingdom
of His Son so'that we, accurately assess
that Jesus is the way, the truth and the
life. No man cometh unto the Father but
by Him.
The welfare system was intended to'
aid the elderly, infirm and dependent
children without family. It was never to
be used to the point of abuse. The prob-
lem is that the abusers of the system


have become the
abused because of the
system.
God wants His peo-
SS- ple to fare well, but
welfare has robbed
7 people of their initia-
tive, creativity, self-
respect and pride of
authorship.
NOWAND I once heard of a
THEN young man who:
.__.... expressed an interest
in a young lady, stating
Maybelle that God showed her
Kirkland to him.
After meeting her,
he arrive at Sunday
school early to set up chairs in the class
they attended. He set up four chairs on
one side and three on the-side where
the lady was. This was to ensure that no
' one else would sit next to her. The
young man' bragged about God, show-
ing him this young lady.
His actions were the true indication
of his perception of how big God is He


could believe God sent her, but he did
not trust God to keep her for him.
We should be ashamed when we do
things that fail to promote the good
hand of our God. Are you a beggar or a,
bragger? As we celebrate the birth of
Jesus, let's become braggers of what He
has done for us. Give Him glory. Give
Him honor. Give Him praise, for He is
truly worthy.' ,'
The families of the late Lillie Palmer-.
"Geter and Charles Lindy Scott appreci-
ate all acts of kindness shown to them
during their bereavement and ask God's
,blessings upon you.

South America, brass plates and giving gifts to the ones you love


"Oh my gosh, look mom. Isn't it
beautiful?" ..
"Oh, it is honey Why don'twe
get it for Dad for Father's Day? Do
you think he'd like it?" my mother-
in-law asked my wife.
"Absolutely," she said "Won't it
look fantastic in the dining room?"
"It sure will," my mother-in-law
replied; and with that they bought it.
Ever since I began writing these
articles, my family has paid a great
price. Their willingness to let me tell
stories that might somehow help
others carries a great eternal
reward, at least that's what I tell
them; ha. ha Anyway, this particular
story caught my attention and
seemed appropriate for the holiday
season, so here it is.
The huge brass plate I would
say about 40 inches across did


turn out to be one of the most
unifsual gifts my
Sfather-in-law had
ever received. With
a map of South
America pressed
into the metal.
when polished, it
truly is a stunning
piece; -
As he sat in bed
PULPIT and opened his
NOTES curious package,
my wife and moth-
er-in-law could
Pastor hardly stand the
Rob Goyette suspense. When
they finally aw his.
reaction they were relieved. That .
was until he said what he said.
"It will look great right there," he'
announced as he pointed at the wall-


across from his bed.
.,"No honey," my mother-in-law
said. "It's going in the dining room."
"I want it there," he said again as
he motioned.with his eyes briefly
and then returned to examining tje
plate's intricate craftsmanship. His'
answer caught them both totally off
guard. To them, the beautiful brass
wall plate belonged in the dining
room, pure and simple.
To hear then tell the story now
is rather funny The idea that they
bought the gift for him, but in their
Sow n hearts already had plans for
how they were going to use it, raises
an intere-ting topic, especially aswe
approach the celebration of our'
Savior's birth "
Now I realize, at Christmas, we
tend to give gifts to each other and
not to Him. but the point is still the


same. When we give a gift to some-
one we do so with the understand-
ing that it's for them.and not for us.
Though we may like it, and can
think of a.million ways in which we
would use it, if it's truly a gift then it
belongs to the one to whom it's
given.
When I roll all that over to the
person of Jesusand the celebration
,of His birth, here's what I come
away with. The day I gave my life to
the Lord, I did it with the uider- ,
standing that it was no longer my'
own but His. Granted, I've often
tried to hang my life .->n the '6all I hat
I think looks best, but the bo.ttomn
line is the decision-is no longer
mine.
Now I realize to some that might
seem fanatical and extreme, but it'is
what it is. The day I made Him Lord.


I meant it. Though it's true, I still
wrestle with Him from time to time
and try to convince Him to put
things wh6re. I want them, in the end
I've always found His choices to the
be the best for my life.
In any case, like my wife and
mother-in-law gathering aro-,und imy
father-in-law's bed to present him
with gifts, as we celebrate the birth
of Christ, may our surrendered lives
bring Him the greatest joy.'
."For this reason I make request
to you, brothers, by the mercies of
God, that yo.i will give your bodies
as a living offering, holy, pleasing to
God, which is.the worship it is right
for you to give Him." (Roman's 12:1
Bible in,Basic English Translation)

recently received Wildlife-

c-rtified wildlife plaque but
] am most concerned about
pires- ving our canopy trees
and convincing people who
are building they don't need
to put grass on their entire lot
and cut down these magnifi-
cent trees." she said
"As a retired teacher, I see
'..* this as a way to interest nmy
grandchildren in the-ir envi- _

. these sites represent thy
hard work and commitment
of individuals and families
providing habitat near their

certified more than 300)o
schools and hundreds of
business and community
sites. The average habitat is
S between 1.3 and 1,'2 an acre,

PILLOWCA SES FOR CHRIS TMA S

S--- --- Thanks to employees of BB&T, these special
Christmas pillowcases have been delivered to children
being treated for cancer.,"The kids will be thrilled with
this fun.print of Santa on a surfboard," said Sylvia -
Hurst, local coordinator for ConKerr Cancer: A Case
~- t for Smiles.
A few months ago, Rosemary Venter, certified mort-
S gage loan officer with BB&T, learned about this proj-
ect and told other employees about it.. Together they
donated funds.to purchase the fabric, and made it
possible that any child who wants a Christmas pillow-
case can have one. Here, Venter is shown, right, with
":- } Cathy King from Folkston, Ga. King sews all year long
for ConKerr Cancer and other charities, and she and ,
.Diane Keagy of Fernandina sewed all these Christmas
ones. "These ladies have been wonderful I've lost
count of how very many they have sewn for us," Hurst
said.
"i More than 1,500 pillowcases have been sent this
year. When the chapter first started, they were only
... able to provide the pillowcases to Wolfson,-but have
-;-- .---- since grown to add Nemours, PedsCare and Shands in
: .. the monthly deliveries. "Of course, we can always use
.. more volunteers," noted Hurst. Call her at 753-1395
for details.

ART Continued from 1B
the Florida Alliance for Arts Education.
Reflecting on her creative growth,
Eflein's style of art has evolved and
changed throughout her career. Early
work favored oils painted in an expres-
sionist manner; later she turned to
watercolors/drawings with a more real-
istic approach. Currently, regional
scenes of Amelia Island with its water-
front, beaches, surrounding marshlands
and local'points of interest flow from her
mind's eye, creating her own unique
style. She takes pleasure in portraying
"genre" scenes the ordinary, daily life
that we sometimes take for granted, but
that actually makes our lives more corn-,
plete and satisfying.,.
Loving the spontaneous, fluid medi-
.um of watercolor and the demanding
meticulousness of graphics, Eflein does-
n't like to do the same composition more
than once. She believes the collector is
entitled to a true "original." No prints
made from her work.
: A genuine Florida native born in
Orlando and living in Ferriandina since
she was four, Eflein received her
Master's Degreefrom the University of
SFl'.rida S1,e is the widow of Dale A.
Eflein. A Charter Member of the Island
Art Association, her works are exhibited
at the Island Art Association Gallery, 18
