But it was short-lived, and warmer weather has returned to thaw us out. Waterfront might add on ANGELA DAUGHTRY News-Leader Members of the city's Waterfront Advisory Group and Arts & Culture Nassau met Friday for a joint meet- ing to discuss the possibility of con- structing a performance pavilion as an element of the city's updated water- front park plan. Mike Spino, chair of Arts & Culture Nassau, said the discussion was intended to "lay the groundwork" for a possible pavilion, and that con- struction would most likely be part of a future phase of the Forward Fernandina waterfront park plan. Although there was no definite plan for the design of the pavilion, members viewed renderings of such structures in a document presented by local architect Randy Rice. Those render- nance pavilion' ings included performance pavilions at variety of events, including weddin the waterfront park iri St. Marys, Ga., concerts or plays.

ANGELA DAUGHTRY News-Leader The city's Planning Advisory Board has narrowly agreed that property owners in a residential-zoned condo complex may soon be able to legally rent out their units on a short-term basis. The city commission must approve before the decision becomes law. The city's planning board voted 4- 3 at a Feb. 8 meeting to approve an amended Planned Unit Development overlay that would allow resort rental dwellings in the Forest Ridge Village condominium complex, located off First Avenue. The complex has been allowing property owners to rent out their units on a short-term basis for many years, even though it is not zoned for such rentals, nor did the condo associa- tion's covenants allow for such use. Built in the 1980s, Forest Ridge Village was for unknown reasons never "grandfathered" to allow resort rentals when the city began restricting them in 2000 to the high-density R-3 zone only. Forest Ridge has always been zoned R-2, or medium density, rentals in areas that are now restrict- even though it is a densely populated ed. neighborhood.

"It is evident that Sheryl loves her job. She has a great rapport with students, parents and school person- nel. She is dependable and reliable.

Buchanan hastens to add that Vasquez, who has driv- en a school bus for 13 years, is just one of over a 100 people who care for students each day.

SWhile the Fernandina Pirates finished second to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the dis- trict last year for the number of useable pints donated to the Georgia/Florida Blood Alliance, the BE Orlando Pint Club has begun its mission to compete with them for blood donations in 2012. On Feb. 18 the Fernandina Pirates will have four buses from the Blood Alliance in the Publix parking lot on Sadler Road. Wicked Wanda, blood drive chairperson, has also arranged to have another bus stationed in St. Marys, Ga., for the Chili Cook-Off, in which the Pirates took respectable hon- ors in 2011.

The city's Community Development Department is proposing the changes as part of a Land Development Code update. Those changes to the sign ordinance, if approved, would allow businesses in his- toric districts and CRAs to have up to four types of signs each. Currently, businesses within the historic district are only allowed one wall or bracket sign of up to 12 square feet. A second sign is allowed only if the busi- ness has a secondary entrance. PAVILION Continued from LA manent roof covering. Rice said the design would also have to consider the "rum- ble" of the Rayonier mill that is within sight of the city water- front. He suggested an acoustic wall could be built that could be moved up and down, which could also protect attendees from heavy waterfront breezes. Spino also noted the idea behind the performance pavil- ion was to have free, rather than ticketed events, and that costs for local groups to use the pavilion should be kept POLITICS IN BRIEF GOPexecutive committee The Republican Executive Committee will hold its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. ThursdLay at the County Building, 860256 Pages Dairy Road West, Yulee.

The proposed changes would allow two signs per busi- ness, which could be a combi- nation of wall, projecting, awning or freestanding. Window lettering and sandwich board/easel/pedestal signs would also be allowed for all businesses, not just those on side streets. Freestanding signs would be affordable.

The com- plex. he said, is accessible only from a narrow two-lane road' that was meant for residential use. Geraldeen Chester said she bought a unit in Forest Ridge last year and intended to live there part-time and rent it out part-time. "We did everything to assure ourselves that short- term rentals were permitted," she said. Chester added that she had gone to a vacation- rental website and found 12 units in Forest Ridge available for rent weekly. "It appears there isn't going to be an easy solution to this," planning board member Judith Lane said. 'This (issue) has a strangeness to it. It's just going to remain a contentious Get the free mobile app at httpl/gettag.mobi issue. I'm concerned that this will set a precedent." But City Attorney Tammi Bach assured Lane that amending this particular PUD was not setting a precedent for other places to allow resort rentals. "The city looked for PUDs and there are no others," Bach said. "This is the last one." She added that the creation of any new PUDs would have to go before the city commission. Member Michael Harrison said he sympathized with res- ident owners who were living in the changing neighbor- hood. "I'm trying to assess what would be changed if the city commission eventually says yes to this or no to this." he said. "Would property values go up or would they fall?" "I have had a hard time dealing with why things weren't done." member Paul Condit said. "I'm comfortable with the fact that it just fell through the cracks." In the end, planning board members Len Kreger, Judith Lane and Michael Harrison voted against amending the PUD to allow resort rentals, and members Paul Condit, Richard Bradford, Eric Bartelt and Mark Bennett voted in favor. adaughrry(fbnewsleadercom ,, amabas CENTEk INC The food pantry needs donations of non-perishable food items all year round.

And the South Georgia town known for its annual Catfish Festival eventually landed the "Lovetown, USA" show, to be televised on Winfrey's OWN network. But it was not a lucky bite. The townspeople of Kingsland put on their best performances when Winfrey's crews came calling in recent months. They dressed in red, decorated the town with rib- bons and hosted a block party to differentiate themselves from other towns vying for the spot. Crews for the show will now spend the next 30 days in Kingsland, helping eight sin- gle residents find love. They will do it through matchmak- ing techniques and then follow the fledgling lovebirds through their courtships. o Oprah, who was in neigh- boring St. Marys, Ga. this weekend for a rally, will revisit Kingsland days of dat- ing to see what has transpired. SThe rally, held at the St. Marys' waterfront STEVE S park, MARI T marked the PLoAE official kick-. off of the show. Steve Nicklas Kings- land's 12,305 residents are obviously excit- ed. The windfall from the pro- duction will inevitably benefit the town and its businesses, while providing entertain- ment for the residents. The concept of finding love for residents is being deemed "the biggest dating challenge in TV history." Kingsland out- shined other towns such as Carrboro, N.C. (nicknamed "the Paris of the Piedmont") and Natchez, Miss., where Disney filmed "The Adventures of Huck Finn."

Not only is Winfrey try- ing to help townsfolk in Kingsland find love, she also wants to investigate the effects of widespread love "on the DNA of one American community." The participants in the show can range from 20 to 60 years old. They must fill out a 20-page questionnaire that asks everything from religion to clothes size to favorite food. The original series will premiere this summer, with eight episodes. The match- making efforts will certainly be in experienced hands. Paul Carrickwho is the real-life "Hitch" from the popular movie, will work with Kailen Rosenberg, who is known as the true "love whisperer" and has assisted in 200 successful marriages. As with everything she does,.Winfrey intends for this reality show to be different from the rest. That's just part of her own DNA. "That's why I came down," Winfrey said, "to say that it's not just anoth- er reality show." SSteve Nicklas is a financial advisor with a Wall Street firm :who lives on Amelia Island.

FEBRUARY 15.2012 NEWS News-Leader Scammers feast on timeshare owners Looking back over 2010's top 10 scams, we noticed that four of them had not yet been reported to readers by Seniors vs. Crime. In the coming months we will correct this oversight starting with this one on timeshares. A timeshare is a form of ownership or right to the use of property, or the term used to describe such properties- Normally the properties are condominiums in which multi- ple parties own the rights to occupy the property and each party is usually allotted a certain period of time to use the prop- erty. In this housing market there are many owners of time- shares that need to or would like to sell them. There are over 4 million households that own one or more weekly stays at a U.S. timeshare. Although fewer than 6 percent of U.S. house- holds own a timeshare, there are over 1,600 timeshare resorts in this country and the preva- lence of vacation ownership con- tinues to expand. The scammers know this and have started to exploit this growing market, particularly in Florida. According to law enforcement officials, an increasing number of timeshare owners are being scammed out of millions of dollars. The Florida Attorney General's Office ranks time- share fraud at the top of the list of all consumer complaints received in 2010 with 12,000, outnumbering the second most frequent complaint by more than three to one. Last year the Attorney General's Office con- ducted over 45 active investi- gations into timeshare resale fraud. This scam involves tele- marketers calling people throughout the country offer- ing to rent or sell their time- shares in exchange for a fee. One such case is presently being worked by the Fernandina Beach office of DON'T HITTER Spay orNeuter - Ka.., Seniors vs. Crime. Last May a local couple received a call from a vacation property manage- rent company in Florida. The company told them they would sell their timeshare in Hawaii but needed to be paid a $1,500 fee first. While considering the offer, another call came from what appeared to be the com- pany that managed the couple's Hawaiian timeshare. The caller said the company making the offer to sell the property was indeed legitimate. So the couple believed them and used their credit card to pay the $1,500 upfront fee. That was the last they saw of their money and the timeshare has still not been sold. The only good news here is that the couple did not fall for subsequent calls from other scam artists as part of the same scheme. The first was a phony consultant who claimed the vacation management compa- ny was a fraud but he would get their money back if they gave him $650 for attorney's fees. The second was a supposed title company executive who explained to the couple that he too would get their money back and sell the property. Of course the deal was they had to first send him $500. If you receive an unsolicit- ed call from a broker claiming to have a client interested in buying your timeshare, be sus- picious. The next thing you may be told is that a refundable secu- rity deposit must .be paid upfront to ensure the sale goes through. To pay the deposit you need to wire the money to an out-ofstate bank account or give the broker your credit card number to make the payment. In many cases by the time you realize that you have been scammed, the con artist's phone number is out of serv- ice, his bank account closed and he is nowhere to be found. If you do manage to get an answer when you call the company that gave you the pitch, they are uncommunicative and evasive. When CBS News did an investigative report on time- share fraud, they were met with disconnected phone numbers, full voicemail boxes, websites that no longer work and unre- turned emails. FloridaAttorney General Pam Bondi cites the country's financial situation as the reason for the high num- ber of complaints. "Look at our economy now, a timeshare is a luxury and so many people now can't afford them, so when they get contacted by these scam- mers. they are vulnerable.- In order to protect yourself from fraudulent practices in timeshare sales and resales. consider the following before you decide to purchase or sell a timeshare. 1. Be wary of a hard sales pitch don't believe the papers need to be signed immediately. Read your contract very care- fulhl to understand what can- cellation rights you have after signing. 2. Don't believe a story that resale of timeshares are a "hot" market. Remember that once you buy, you may not be able to sell due to the current depressed resale market. 3. Question why you are required to pay the fee upfront. In a typical real estate transac- tion, the fee is paid from the proceeds of the sale at the time of the sale. 4. You do have other options when it comes to reselling your timeshare. You could list your property with a licensed real estate broker in Nassau County if that is where your resort is located. Or you could place an ad to sell your timeshare "by. owner" in a newsletter or mag- azine targeting timeshare buy- ers. You do have ether resout es to go to if you think you may be a victim of timeshare fraud. There is the Federal Trade Commission, Better Business Bureau, MyFloridaLegal.com and the Florida Delpartnent of Business and Professional Regulation. Division of land Sales. Condominiums, Bureau of Timeshares (850) 4S8-1122, then press 1.

Drew, Tax Collector 86130 License Road Suite 3 Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 www.nassautaxes.com February 15, 2012 Dear Taxpayers: Did you know that you can pay your annual property tax bill in four quarterly payments? By breaking the tax payment into installments, property owners can make their tax bills easier to manage. The procedure, as outlined in Florida Statute 197.222, requires that your estimated tax exceed $100. Like the regular tax billing process, the installment method provides for discounts on taxes due: First Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimat- ed taxes discounted at 6%. Second Installment Payment: One quarter of the total esti- mated taxes discounted at 4.5%. Third Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimat- ed taxes, plus or minus, as the case may be, one half of any adjust- ment pursuant to a determination of actual tax liability discounted at 3%. Fourth Installment Payment: One quarter of the total esti- mated taxes, plus or minus, as the case may be, one-half of any adjustment pursuant to a determination of actual tax liability. No discount. The deadline to apply for the installment method is April 30, 2012. Please be advised that you would be applying for an installment plan relating to the upcoming 2012 Tax Roll opening in November. Your application will not impact taxes that were due as of November 1, 2011, which is the current Tax Roll. The application is available at the Tax Collector's website www.nas- sautaxes.com or by visiting one of the four office locations listed below. For additional information, please email the office at cs@nassautaxes.com or call (904)491-7400, select option 3. Yours in service, John M.

There is significant interest in the continued operation of the ferry as evidenced by the number of people attending the meeting. Former Jacksonville City Councilwoman Elaine Brown attended and spoke of the need for additional time to reach a solution. The Jacksonville Port Authority's board will meet on Feb. 27 and it was requested that a decision be delayed by 90 days to allow time for the grassroots effort to be suc- cessful Currently the ferry gener- ates roughly $900,000 in rev- enue and expends $1.6 million in expenses, leaving roughly $700,000 in annual operating losses. This is in addition to the capital improvements that need to be done. In a subsequent meeting I learned the details of the $1.6 million in expenses, which include $189,000 in manage- ment fees. It would seem that if a not-for-profit assumed the operations of the ferry, these management fees could be solution -aved. .e The sus- r.tanability of St the ferr/v w ultimate 0, lies in ridrincreasing the rider- ship. At its peak, the Je fy p ferryotrans- iADm tIN ported S roughly 450,000 rid- State ers/vehi- number is now approximately 230,000. If ridership increased to 300,000 vehicles, an additional $350,000 could be generated. Clearly an effective marketing plan is needed. The ferry provides an important link for residents of Fernandina Beach and Nassau County who travel to the Jacksonville Beaches com- munities and to the Mayo Clinic. The benefit of the ferry is that it not only saves valu- able time but also wear and tear on vehicles, roads and bridges. I am continuing to work toward finding a solution and will work with fellow law- makers to find a solution..

Ah, but soon, very soon, that deep hole of miscommunication is going to be filled; that malady of misinformation is going to be cured, the commission's getting a public relations guy! -Hey, it wasn't the message, the message was positive, good and pure. No, it was a nega- tive press that put bad things on the front page, emphasizing errors in judgment and focusing on missteps. They, in a sinister and deliberate way, used their role as gatekeeper to cover and spin the bad things and keep out the good things. And it was the army of bitter letter writers and others on the op-ed pages, rejecting and ignoring all that was good in the message and believing and spreading only the ill. And it was negative candidates running negative campaigns, all bent on taking our city back to the Stone Age. Listen, you can almost hear those lonely few inside the fort, all gathered closely togeth- er, saying, "It's not the message; the message is positive, good and pure." Well, for those inside the fort, only listening to others inside the fort, it's never the message. Never. Questions, though: 1) How would a public relations guy a "spin doctor have "spun" the complete lack of stimulus in the Forward Fernandina stimulus plan? 2) How would he have explained to a skeptical citizenry that the Forward Fernandina plan had no plans? 3) How could this person make a taxincrease in the middle of the Great Recession seem like Sthe right thing to do? 4) How can anyone put a positive spin on the decision to bor- row $6 million for non-stimu- Slus projects. without plans. -and pay for those non-stimu- lus projects without plans with a utility tax increase? Note to the commission DEBlATE and all those others inside the fort: it was the message. AND It wasn't the media, it wasn't TACKE the letter writers and it was- n't the candidates, it was the message. Ron Sapp There's great news though, you can fix the mes- sage by doing a few simple things: Complete the waterfront plan, the one that was approved in 2007. That plan focused on green open space, picnic areas and a boardwalk. That plan also accommodates a big gazebo, or performance area at the park's extreme south end; build that and have a rib- bon-cutting ceremony just before the Shrimp Festival. Sit down with the county commission and come up with an agreement for the Fernandina library that 1) keeps it downtown and 2) delineates the primary sponsor, their obligations and those of the subordinate. Appoint someone as parliamentarian, get rid of Bach's Rules of Order and get back to Roberts Rules of Order. End the procedural chaos. Stop listening to lectures from charter employees, they work for you. When they start telling you what their job is and what they are going to do and what their relationship with you is going to be, just say. "Whoooooaa, read the charter: we supervise you, we evaluate you, we hire you and we terminate you. There are no rogue charter officers in city govern- mentY Just saying. Develop a core set of beliefs and stick to them, never deviate and never compromise those beliefs; compromise on other things, but never the core beliefs. And when those beliefs separate you from most of your constituents, explain the separation, being as honest and forthright as you can. In my experience, when a vote or position on an issue is explained the people may not agree with you. and they may be angry with you, but they'll understand. Develop that core set of beliefs. Discuss and debate issues openly. Think back: how much debate and discussion was there before Forward Fernandina was approved? I'm not talking about how many meetings were held, I'm talking about real debate and discussion. How much debate and discussion was there before the tax increase, or the decision to borrow the $6 million or the utility tax increase? Do these things: complete the public-cen- tered waterfront with a performance area, get an agreement with the county regarding the library, appoint a parliamentarian, stop cower- ing and nail-biting when listening to lectures from charter employees stop the lectures, early, and take back the dais; it's been surren- dered to staff, take it back and believe in some- thing, stand for something and let people know what those beliefs are. In my opinion, if you do all of these things you won't need a spin doctor, you'll be the city commission again.

The First'Coast Manufacturing 'Association was in Tallahassee this week advocating for pro-business issues. I enjoyed talking with them and sharing with them our latest work on the ferry. I am always inter- ested in the views of others as they are always uniquely driven by how their inter- ests are affected. Sometimes issues like the ferry have broad community appeal because it is part of our heritage and holds a place in our community. There is never a dull moment in Tallahassee. I appreciate all those that have taken the time to attend the Education Solutions Roundtable meetings and the St. Johns Ferry meetings. It is important that I hear from you and we always welcome you to come and be recognized in the gallery when the Florida House of Representatives is in session. Sometimes in all our rush we forget to thank those who sacrifice so much and serve behind the scene to help make so much of what happens in our Capitol possi- ble. I would like to thank my Chief Legislative Aide Larry Williams and his fami- ly for their dedication and sacrifice to the cit- izens of Florida; happy birthday! janet@janetadkins.com janet.adkins@myfloridahouse.gov SERVING YOU Nassau County Commissioners: Danny Leeper, District 1-Femandina Beach. 261-8029 (h), 430-3868 (cel), email: dleeper@nassaucountyfl.com Steve Kelley, District 2-Amelia Island.

Objections: We have a little town luca- here and the further our elected dol- officials remove themselves from par- facing us, the unhappier the people goes get. You can do the PR for us. Get , in a out and give talks everywhere. Take better turns in writing lengthy articles in r pri- the newspaper, maybe once a ards month, explaining issues or suc- ition cesses, etc. Our little newspaper is n, all unlikely to publish "la te dah" arti- ue to cles by a PR person often because of hat is space in the paper, but elected offi- 'ould cials have the special preference there and should^use that. They do hire reporters to cover the meet- ings, and as much as political fig- ures get annoyed at the reporters, I think they do a good job of report- ing what went on. The mayor's practice of arrang- ing monthly visit sessions is per- fect, even if no one comes some- times. Use your email lists after getting permission to keep in con- tact and pass information. Be honest in your information and tell exactly what is happening. It's not just telling us good things, because we expect them, but telling the truth is what we want.

Nancie Crabb Fernandina Beach Fridaythe13th Are you trusting? When some- one you don't know promises a great job at a low-ball price, do you believe him or her? If so, beware. The person in my story is very much at large and probably bilking anoth- er Amelia Island resident about now. Here's what happened so he can't con you: On Friday the 13th last month our doorbell rang and it was this seemingly pleasant man who offered to powerspray our house for $200. We-said no; the next offer was $150 and we said yes. He promised a per- fect job. About one hour later he advised us that he had broken our back faucet Water was pouring both out and in, so we turned off the water and he promised to have it "fixed" soon. Evidently the fix exceeded his skills, he had our $150, so he forced the pipe back on and somehow blocked the flow and left. I then tried to re-hookup our house. As soon as I touched the faucet, it popped out and the flood was on again. I hate to admit it, but I'm old and my legs don't work too well. To remove the cover to the water turnoff, I had to lean over and lift. I fell instead and couldn't get up' Thank God for 911. Next came the plumber and Servicemaster to clean and dry our rugs. Both were here until after 9 p.m. The next Friday the 13th is this April, followed by another in July. I'm not going to answer my doorbell.

Over here in Southeast Asia it's hard to miss it. Whimsical dragon sculptures and huge dragon kites adorn the shopping malls, dozens of people inhabit long dragon cos- tumes for impromptu celebrations on busy streets, in hotel lobbies WLD and all kinds WAYS of unexpected S places. Even in Bali, where Pat the population Foster litrley is mostly Muslim, the children dre-ssed up in dragon masks and costumes to seek donations for their upcoming rice festivals. Everywhere I look over here, I see dragons. The dragon, it seems is a very auspicious sign, a powerful aura, the most fortunate sign to be born under. So every dozen years or so, when it's a dragon year, like now, Chinese women all around the region are trying extra-hard to have their own "dragon babies." In Singapore, with a large Chinese population, the birthrate this year is expected to be more than 15 percent higher than in other years. I guess a dragon baby isgood for the mother too! It's not just symbolic drag- ons I'm running into in my busi- ness trips around the region. Take dragonflies for instance. In a brief trip over from my base in Bangkok to Jakarta I spent most of my time in the city, above nature, in the clouds of exhaust flumes filtered by the air conditioners of my five-star hotel. - But as always I managed to orchestrate a little field trip out- side the city. The regional forests and agroforestry cen- ters for Southeast Asia are t'i~5f F.l 0 based in Bogor, a city in the paddy fields and forests above Jakarta, just a mere hour away (or maybe three hours depend- ing on traffic). But anyway, well worth the time to pay a visit and interview the professionals there about regional biodiver- sity matters. And best yet,, knew that these international centers were based on a "cam- pus" full of biodiverse trees and bugs. So off we went, my team and I, for a bit of fresh air.

And there are other dragons over here too in Indonesia, Komodo dragons to be specific. Sadly my trip allowed no time to fly to the island of Komodo where these giant monitor lizards reign, but still they were everywhere. A number of the offices I visited had statues and sculptures of these prehistoric- looking creatures adorning them. Komodo dragons are a pride of Indonesia, a tourist draw, and a symbol for all the unusual wildlife that lives in this tropical archipelago. In Florida, wherever you might see artwork with an alligator, here it seems to be Komodo drag- ons. Dragons may be real, like dragonflies and Komodo drag- ons, or they may be mytholog- ical creatures'with special pow- ers. I appreciate all of them, seen or unseen. And, I always have.

FLORIDA Henry the county's most valuable player BETH JONES News leader Private schools may have tried to woo him away from Yulee, but they all failed. "I'm not leaving Yulee," said Derrick "Shocka" Henry. "This is where I was burn and raised. I'm proud to be a If ornet, always will be." Henry, the -foot-3, 240( pound junior sensation from Yulee Iligh School, returns to the top of the all-Nassau County football team. He's once again Nassau's most valuable player. Henry broke Ciatrick Faison's North Florida rush- ing record last fall, hitting the ground for 2,610 yards. He scored 33 rushing touch- downs for the Hornets. For his efforts, Henry was.named to MaxPreps' first-team All- American team for juniors. He was first team all-state and all- area and was a finalist for Mr. Football in Florida. He has another season ahead of him at Yulee but Henry is already looking ahead. He has a verbal com- mitment to the play football on scholarship at the University of Georgia. If Henry sticks with his commitment -although he still has offers coming in and his "options are still open" - the Gator fan will be wearing Bulldog red and black in 2013. His emotions were mixed last fall while watching the Florida-Georgia game. "That's hard," Henry said. "I was glad Georgia won because I'm going there." Henry started playing foot- ball when he was five years old. "I fell in love with it," he said. He excelled on the grid- iron and, by middle school, was already making a name for himself. In fact, a rule was enforced in Nassau County before his eighth grade year to limit the number of times one player can score. "After my seventh-grade year, we tried real hard to make sure my last year was my best year," he said. "But I could barely play the first half. I still had fun. It was a great year." Ilenry let loose his fresh- man year, earning all-county recognition then. "I went wild my freshman year," he said. Henry had another great season as a sophomore at Yulee. "Every year I've stepped up my game," Henry said. The Hornets qualified for the playoffs for the second year in a row, going 8-3 in 2011. "He had another great year, especially considering the competition we played," said Bobby Ramsay, head football coach at Yulee. "He played big in the big games as well, especially West Nassau and the playoffs. "I know it means a lot to Derrick to represent Yulee and Nassau County in the best way possible. He takes a lot of pride in that. "I expect him to finish his high school career with another outstanding season. No one sees how hard he works." Henry plans to follow in the shoes of former teammate Kelvin Rainey, who graduated early and is already enrolled at the U!niversity of South Carolina. "I miss Kelvin a lot," Henry said. "He, (senior) Zach (Camp) and I were the three amigos. "When (Rainey) starts playing, I'm going to make sure I talk to him to see what it's like," Henry said. Both teammates are also on the all-county team. See 2B. Henry gives full credit to his teammates and coaches for his success. And he excels in the classroom, earning all As this year with the excep- tion of a B. "Football isn't a guaran- tee," said Henry, who admits he is just fine with the nick- name "Shocka." "I love my nickname," he said. "My grandmother gave it to me." BETH JONES/NtEWS-LEADER Junior Derrick "Shocka" Henry rushed for 2,610 yards and scored 33 times for the Yulee Hornets in 2011. DISTRICT SHOWDOWN S ; r .- L) i'i l ii i ''N .S NI.W, Ll.'.II.I, The West Nassau Warriors were determined not to be a denied a win Saturday night in the District 4-4A championship game at Fernandina Beach High School. After losing three times during the regular season, the Warriors jumped out to a 9-3 lead and were up 23-14 at halftime over the top-seed Pirates.

Both the Fernandina Beach and Yulee high school teams competed in the regional tournament Friday and Saturday at Clay County. Andrew Tipton, 106 pounds, took fourth place in his weight class to qualify for state for the FBI-IS Pirates. Matt Sweetman of Yulee also qualified, taking fourth. "Our region is the tough- est in the state," YIIS Coach Brandon Crowder said. "Matt Sweetman did break through and qualified; he beat a wrestler from Bolles who beat him the first day. I always knew he could do it and am proud to have been his coach the last three years. "We had a good weekend. All of our kids battled and four were one match from the qualifying round. It is always hard seeing a senior wrestle their last match. "We have some young guys coming back, so next year maybe we will send mul- tiple guys, but I am very proud of the work put in this year." lan Robinson (220) and Kelsey Greathouse (170) also competed for FBHS at region.

AISwalknJackonvl More than 1,000 people will gather at Seven Bridges at Tinseltown in Jacksonville March 31 to join the fight to find a cure for a deadly illness. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, progressively paralyzes its victims, attacking nerve cells and pathways in the brain or spinal cord. ALS.patients, including those in wheelchairs along with their families and friends, will make a two-mile trek in The Walk to Defeat ALS, hoping their steps will make a difference for ALS patients living in the Jacksonville area. Many who walk have a loved one who is still fighting the deadly disease. Others walk in memory of a loved one who has lost the battle. Many people, without any personal connection, still walk out of a simple concern for those who are suffering with Lou Gehrig's disease. With just two to five years on average to live, these patients have an urgent need and the community is stepping in to fill it by walking for those who can't. The Walk to Defeat ALS is the ALS Association's signature event, in which all funds directly support cutting-edge research, programs and patient care: Last year, these events raised nearly $1.2 million around the state of Florida. All interested walkers should call 888-257- 1717 or register online at www.WalktoDefeat ALS.org. Registration is at 8:30 a.m. with the walk beginning at 10 a.m. Seven Bridges is located at 9735 Gate Parkway.

One of the most difficult things for the amateur golfer to adjust to is the long putt on the green. Long putting is a skill that is rarely practiced and, consequently, whenever we have a very long putt to attempt, the end result is usually not what Swe want. Most amatuers faced with a long putt automatically go into the thought S process that they need to smack the ball to get it to the hole. This thinking pattern will get you a three-putt more times than not. When you try to kill the putt, all of the motion in your putting stroke comes from the wrist The ball usually pops up off the ground and there is little to no chance for success. A long putting stroke needs to be generated by the shoulders with nothing to do with your wrists.

R-.... F .-RY 15.2012 NE\WS-LEADER Rodma Anchored in a deep hole located in Rodman Reser- voir's barge canal, our fishing party, including Norman Bray, Jim Maughon and me, free-lined wild shin- ers into deep stands of hydrilla weeds. Occasional three- to seven-pound large- mouth bass would intercept our live baits. However, we had yet to encounter a real trophy largemouth bass that Rodman Reservoir is so famous for. The lake record weighed 17.2 pounds and measured 29.75 inches, just short of the Florida state record large- mouth bass that weighed 17.27 pounds. The University of Florida shocked a 24-pound largemouth bass during a fish tagging and study taken in Rodman Reservoir. "Get the net, Terry. I have hooked a giant of a bass," Maughon shouted. "My bass is tangled in a huge mass of hydrilla weeds and is, without a doubt, the largest bass that I have hooked into." Securing the large- mouthed Frabill landing net, I rushed to the back of my Triton bay boat where Maughon was hooked up to a bass of a lifetime. At boat side, a Jurassic- looking black bass appeared from the tangle of hydrilla weeds. Leaning far, out into the lake with my long han- dled bass net, I swooped Maughon's bass into the net, weeds and all. Bray, Maughon and I paused in silence for a few seconds as we stared in awe at the huge bass that was now lying on the floor of our fish- ing boat. I secured Maughon's big bass with'a pair of Boga Grips and watched the scales bottom n's giant out to the "Howar maximum Vie 15-pound boats f mark, th,-n porary drop dwxn tu. allowed the 12-pound Rodma mark.

OUTDOOR BRIEFS Gaggrouper The Florida Fish and Wiillii. Conservation Commission vbted Feb: 8 to change how gag grouper is managed in Gulf of Mexico state waters (excluding Monroe County). The decision, which came during day two of the three- day February commission meeting, will achieve consis- tency with federal manage- ment efforts while potentially providing a region-specific recreational season in four counties. The FWC manages marine fish from the shore to nine nautical miles in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council manages Gulf of Mexico waters farther than nine nau- tical miles out. The following changes will make state gag grouper management efforts the same as recent federal gag groupei' management efforts in the Gulf of Mexico: setting the recreational open season from July 1 through Oct. 31 and lowering the mini- mum commercial size limit from 24 inches to 22 inches total length.

These changes will bet- ter align fishing opportunity with fish availability. "I think we have to be sen- sitive to the economic side and the natural resource side," said Commissioner Charles W. Roberts III. "I don't think there is anybody here, especially in this room, who would like to jeopardize gag grouper. This isn't an easy decision. We have to rely on the data we have available and make good decisions." Gag grouper has been closed in Gulf of Mexico state waters since Nov. 16. The FWC believes apply- ing these management changes will allow gag grouper populations to rebuild quickly while balanc- ing the needs of anglers.

FWCpromotesaccess The Florida Fish and. W wildlife C..,, ,.. ,li,-n i Commission introduced a new feature on its website. Users can now view and search a database of Florida boat ramps. "Providing safe, conven- ient access to Florida's water- ways is one of our goals," said Pat Harrell, the FWC's boat- ing access coordinator. 'This database is designed to help keep boaters informed about facilities that are currently available." Boaters can visit the Public Boat Ramp Finder site to locate and obtain details for more than 1,600 publicly accessible boat ramps. "People can look for boat ramps within a certain county, on a lake they'd like to visit or even search for boat ramps near a specific street address or GPS coordinates," Harrell said. "The database provides a map, details and often pho- tos of the ramps." The database was created from an inventoryconducted for the Statewide Boating Access Inventory and Economic Assessment. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provided funding through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration's Boating Access Program. Working with boat- ing access management part- ners, including Florida's counties and the Department of Environmental Protection, the FWC identified and indexed approximately 3,440 boat ramps around the state. To access the database, visit MyFWC.com/Boating. To help improve and update this database, the public is asked to mail BoatRamps @MyFWC.com to report errors or new information.

We aren't Going to test it. Every trip to the doctor seereis to end up with a prescription to be filled. They have ,trange names like Lipitor, ocor, Flomax and Celebrex. The older we get the greater our FROM inventory of little brown bottles THE with those frustrating twist-off PORCH tops designed to protect chil- dren. Sometimes we older folks have a heck of a time getting Dickie those tops off. In addition, we Anderson have a wide variety of over-the- a pill for whatever ails you counter drugs that either slow things down or speed things up or treat a pesky cold. And, of course, we have our "house" aspirin. Our collection of prescription and over-the-counter drugs includes medications promising to control blood pressure, relieve arthritic pain, balance hormones and treat glaucoma. Not to be left out, our dogs have their own set of pills that prevent heart- worm and flea and tick attacks. How did we become some dependent on the pills in our lives? Part of the problem is the seduction of constant advertis- ing. The dramatic television com- mercials and glossy magazine ads promise eternal youth, sexu- al prowess, freedom from aller- gies, relief from gas and mental well-being. Just take a pill no problem. When picking up prescrip- tions from our pharmacy we struggle to read the small type that warns us not to drive heavy duty machines, make major deci- Ssions, take medication if preg- nant, plan to get pregnant or are breast feeding. We probably would not take any of pills if we took seriously the side ffec ts the drug companies are required to tell us about. Blindness and death, just to mention two. We do seem to become our parents. Big Guy and I both remember all the pills our par- ents took as they aged. Now it is our turn to master tile proper combination of the myriad of drug offerings on the market. My father struggled with a wide array of ailments toward the end of his life. His pharmacy bill each month boggled the mind. He was meticulous in the management of the many pills that he took each day, but as he began to lose his sight and pills dropped to the floor, we feared that his beloved Scottic was gobbling them up. We watched dog and master carefully. Neither developed sus- picious symptoms, so we did not intervene. Pills are here to stay. So Big Guy and I are "doing" drugs, but, hopefully, responsibly!

The COA is in the midst of a capital campaign to allow relocation in the summer of 2013. "However, construction of the life Center is only partially funded, so much work remains to be done.

NASSAU HUMANE SOCIETY Maggie is a sweet, loving Shepherd mix who we think would be a great addition to any family, including a single owner or a family with chil- dren. She's young and house- trained and was an "inside dog" in a home with a yard; her owners had to move and couldn't take her with them. She's extremely friendly and affectionate, with a great, happy personality. She's medi- um-sized, with a beautiful brown and black coat that's nice and soft for petting. She loves to play! Aliyah is a very sweet mama cat who now needs a loving home of her own after being a loving morn to her kit- tens. She's a Domestic Short Hair mix, quiet and affection- ate and enjoys being petted. She's very pretty and we think she'd be a good companion cat. If you come home from a stressful day and you'd like a sweet, calming influence in your life, please come meet Aliyah!
