County to upgrade



Yulee Sports complex

GARRETT PELICAN
News- Leader


On a unanimous vote, Nassau County Commissioners
agreed Monday to spend $280,000 upgrading facilities at
the Yulee Sports Complex on Goodbread Road.
Project funding would not be used to expand the bor-
ders of the 20-acre park, but instead to expand facilities
"in order to accommodate the new population," accord-
ing to county documents.
Those upgrades would acid two restrooms, septic and
drainage upgrades, fencing and bleachers to the park's
current facilities, said Peter King, the county's interim
growth management director.
The ballpark has football, baseball and softball fields,
tennis courts, a gymnasium and hosts community events
such as the Yulee Holiday Festival.
Commissioner Steve Kelley said the county would-
fund the :upgrades with impact fees collected from devel-
opments in District 3, which includes Yulee.
"This comes from an account that is restricted for
this purpose, and I support it," Kelley said.


Sandy



heads



north
TALLAHASSEE -A tropical stotm
watch is in effect from Flagler Beach
north to ,Fernandina Beach as
Hurricane Sandy moves north.
A wet and windy Florida/Georgia
weekend is possible for Amelia Island.
The chance of rain Saturday afternoon
during the game is 40-percent.
Floridians are urged to remain alert
as a tropical storm warning has been
extended along Florida's Atlantic Coast
from Ocean Reef to Flagler Beach,
through Miami-Dade and for Lake
Okeechobee. The State Emergency
Operations Center in Tallahassee is
currently operating at a level two par-
tial activation.
A Category 2 hurricane, Sandy was
located about 400 miles southeast of
Miami and moving north at 18 mph
Thursday. The official forecast from
the National Hurricane Center shows
a large and powerful Hurricane Sandy
passing over the Bahamas Thtirsday
night and Friday.
Maximum sustained winds had
increased to 105 mph. Windy condi-
tions began Thursday for portions of
South Florida. Winds could gust to
40-50 mph or higher in the tropical
storm warning area. High winds are
likely along the Amelia Island coastline
as Sandy approaches.
Storm surges will raise water levels
one to two feet above normal tide, but
large and battering waves will likely
result in beach erosion, coastal flood-
ing and a high rip current risk lasting
as long as the middle of next week.
Breakers as high as 10 feet at the coast
and waves of 20-30 feet offshore are
forecast. Small craft advisories are in
effect for most of the Florida coastal
waters, even on the Gulf coast.
Although the flood risk is current-
ly expected to be low, rainfall amounts
may reach 1-3 inches along the East
Coast and the high winds may make
driving difficult.
"Residents and visitors in thd warn-.
ing and watch areas should prepare for
impacts as soon as possible with an
emergency plan and disaster supply
kit," said Florida Division of
Emergency Management Director
Bryan W. Koon. "Heed all instructions
from local officials and stay tuned to
local media for developments."
The Atlantic hurricane season runs
from June 1 to Nov. 30. Visit
www. FloridaDisaster.org to plan for
storms.


The $280,000 to fund improvements
comes from impact fees collected from
developers in Yulee.


"It's a great opportunity for the county to use these
fees" that it would have to return to developers if they're
not used, King said Monday.
Local governments charge impact fees to developers
to help offset the costs of new growth. Commissioners ini-
tially voted to suspend the collection of impact fees in
June 2008 and have since extended that stoppage indef-
initely, based on recommendations from the Planning &
Zoning Board and the Impact Fee & Concurrency Task
Force assembled and led by Commission Chair Danny
Leeper.

Callahan, not JEA,

News-Leader
Officials are ready to discuss how
the town of Callahan might supply
water and sewer service to the pro-
posed Crawford Diamond industrial
park a major component of the coun-
ty's economic future but details on
the project's funding are yet to be
decided.
Callahan Town Council is sched-
uled to consider the topic at a work-
shop next month. Town officials are
expected to hear a proposal from the
Nassau County Ocean Highway &
Port Authority and Rayonier on how to
pay for those services on the 1,800-

Bill and Paula Carrier check out the eats, above, at the 21st annual Taste of Amelia Island culinary
fair to benefit the Nassau County Volunteer Center Friday at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation
Ballroom. With a theme of Celebrate Autumn on Amelia, top, numerous restaurants and wine pur-
veyors highlighted their cuisines and wines and there was a silent auction and music by the
Palmetto Catz.


Fullwood said a bond issue to cover
the costs of new infrastructure is one
possibility. But, he said, officials still
need to review more details to deter-
mine the extent of their ability to issue
bonds, how much of the project a bond
could pay for and who would pay it
back.
Callahan Mayor Shirley Graham
confirmed Thursday that the Port
Authority had suggested a bond issue
to pay for the extension of water and
sewer to the industrial park 4.5 miles
southwest of Callahan.
The workshop is scheduled for 6
p.m. Nov. 19 at the Nassau County
building on Mickler Street in Callahan.

Port loses


longtime


customer
GARRETT PELICAN
News-Leader
A port call in the Caribbean added
to i e route of a longstanding carrier
has left the Port of Fernandina out of
tIh, loop. But losing that account won't
.ink port revenues, officials said.
Seaboard Marine, an independent
container carrier out of Miami, and
i'reen Island Maritime, its subsidiary
'ih.ii serviced ships in port, recently
withdrew their business after 14 years
with the Port, but representatives
declined to say why.
Representatives of Seaboard
Marine and Green Island Maritime
declined comment when contacted
Wednesday.
Their departure won't hurt port
rnt enues because they haven't been
major customers during the past cou-
ple of years, said Val Schwec, com-
mercial director for Kinder Morgan,
which operates the port for the Nassau
County Ocean Highway and Port
Authority.
"Seaboard'did .have some ships
.coming in here, but their leaving is
not going to be a great loss because
they've been backing off for awhile,"
said Port Commissioner Danny
Fullwood, who estimated that port rev-
enues are down about 3-5 percent this
year.
"Somebody will step up and replace
them."
"You don't want to see anybody ever
leave," Schwec said. "We're going to
stay in touch with them. In the mean-
time, we'll look for opportunities to
replace that business."
Initially, the Miami-based carrier
made trips through Fernandina four
times a month, Schwec said, but that
number halved after Seaboard added
more stops in the Caribbean, which
put it behind schedule and forced it to
skip Fernandina to maintain its sched-
ule. He said shipping the cargo left
behind in Fernandina to Miami via
truck proved too costly, so Seaboard
cut Fernandina from the route.
"Obviously, from my perspective, I
wish they would have just put in faster
vessels, but I respect their decision
and analysis," said Schwec, who noted
that the Port and Seaboard still have a
good relationship.
Fullwood credited a shrinking mar-
ket with the loss of business, noting
that Fernandina was a niche port for
Seaboard. "They're based out of Miami
... this is just a small niche port for

L. Ray Davis
L. Ray Davis, 77, passed
away peacefully on Thursday,
October 25,2012 at his home in
Fernandina Beach. "Ray" was
born in Pierce County, Georgia,
to the late Clyde C. Davis and
the late Gladys Crawford Davis
Peterson. As a small boy, he
grew up on a farm in Pierce
County and then lived in
Waycross,
-,OW Georgia for
his wa ..o., his school
U j years. At
age 15' he
started dat-
a ing his
future wife,
Marlene'Bennett. Ray worked
his way through Auburn
University and was a member of
the Sigma Chi fraternity. He
married Marlene during his
Junior year at Auburn and
proudly graduated in 1959. Ray
and Marlene's first child was
born later that year.
Ray's family is extremely
proud of his lifelong dedication
to both his family and profes-
sion. There was always a sense
of optimism in the Davis house-
hold, and he always worked
hard to make things "better" for
his family. There were plenty of
tough times, but there was
always a confidence that the
family would emerge stronger
and better off. We were all great-
ly blessed by the confidence he
instilled in us... .that we were
safe, secure, and things would
work out "all-right".
Ray had over 45 years of
heavy marine and civil con-
struction experience and sub-
sequently served successfully
at virtually every level of man-
agement in his 32 years with
Hardaway Company of Colum-
bus, Georgia. He later served in
senior management- positions
with the Marine Group of TIC
(The Industrial Company) in
Savannah, Georgia and Wood
Hopkins Contracting Company,
a heavy marine contractor locat-
ed in Jacksonville, Florida.
Career recognition include
the 1990 George S. Richardson
Medal, presented at the Inter-
national Bridge Conference in
Pittsburgh, and Engineering
News Record's prestigious
Construction Man of the Year
nomination for engineering/
construction work, for restor-
ing the Ben Sawyer Bridge to its
foundations after Hurricane
Hugo struck near Charleston,
South Carolina.
In 1967 through 1971, Ray
was Project Manager on the
construction of the southbound
Sunshine Skyway Bridge over
Tampa Bay. In 1980, when a
freighter rammed into the main
piers of the southbound bridge,
he answered an urgent call from
the State of Florida to clear the
bridge wreckage, which was
blocking the main channels to
deep draft vessels; then dealt
with the rebuilding of the
bridge.
In 1972 he was elected Vice
President of the Hardaway
Company and in 1986 he served
as Executive Vice President of
Special Projects relating to
major bridges and heavy marine
construction. Ray was also
directly involved in other sig-
nificant bridge projects in
Florida, Alabama Mississippi,
Virginia, Maryland, North
Carolina and Georgia.
Fernandina Beach was
always a special place to Ray
and Marlene and they perma-
nently relocated there in 2000.
Ray stayed a$ busy after
'retirement as he did before. He
had his own consulting compa-
ny and also joined Volkert and
Associates as its design-build
executive advisor. He was a
member of Fernandina's Mem-
orial United Methodist Church
and loved his Com-munity Bible
Study brothers. He was the des-
ignated Banana pudding maker
(only with Merangue!) for Bible
' Study social events. He was also
former president of the
Lanceford Creek Homeowners
Associa-tion and the
Terpsichorean Dance Club,
where he loved to Jitter'-Bug.

Amelia Island Genealogical
Society member Ilori S.
Miranda says today's genealo-
gists are on the edge when it
comes to new technology, and
are likely to be using GPS,
social media, etc.
"If someone's idea of a
genealogist is someone sitting
in dusty municipal archives,
even that has changed. For one,
there is the drive to digitize
records, public and private, and
that allows access through a
computer," said Miranda.
"On the other hand, society
as a whole has become con-
cerned with privacy issues, so
in some instances, avenues
available in the past for
research are closing. To say
nothing of how TV programs
like, 'Who Do You Think You
Are' have popularized the
search," she added.
AIGS has been helping peo-
ple research their family trees
for 20 years. The society was
created to offer people a place


where they

ces to help

Tompkins Landing Road abandoned


GARR'FT PELICAN
News Leader

Nassau County Commis-
sioners, aiming to stem the flow
of trespassers and partiers into
Tompkins landing in Hilliard,
decided Monday night to aban-
don Tompkins Landing Road.
The unanimous vote to aban-
don the roadway came on the
heels of pleas from several res-
idents, many of whom wanted
the road abandoned. They
urged the board to "shut down"
the road and "eliminate" prob-
lems with out-of-county visitors
who trespass, litter, party and
pick fights with locals.
The decision, which leaves
maintenance of the road to near-
by residents, effectively closed
the formerly public road, mak-
ing it a private route for those
who reside near Tompkins
Landing. Commissioner Stacy
Johnson, who voted for the
measure, said it might have the
unwanted effect of displacing,
kayakers and other groups that
want to enjoy the river and pose



DIAMOND
Continued from 1A
to hear a proposal from the Port
Authority to the Town of
Callahan regarding Crawford
Diamondd"
Crawford Diamond is being
promoted as an economic hub
given its proximity to two rail-
roads, interstate highways
deepwater ports, an interna-
tional airport and the
Jacksonville metropolitan area
Nassau County officials believe
it could generate industrial uses
that could become a major
employer on the West Side of
the county.
JEA, the Jacksonville author-
ity that is contracted to service
that part of Nassau County,
gave Callahan officials permis-
sion to provide water and sewer
service to the industrial site,
and build the necessary infra-
structure, Oct. 4.
"JEA has graciously said,
'OK, if you want to do it, go
ahead and do it," County
Commissioner Walter
Boatright, whose district
includes Callahan, said at a
commission meeting Monday.
A letter dated Oct. 5 from
Vickie Cavey, director of strate-
gic partnershipsand acquisi-,
tions for JEA, to Clerk of Court
John Crawford and copied to
the county officials, authorized
Callahan to proceed with the
project with some caveats.
"Callahan can provide serv-
ice and infrastructure directly
itself, and if it does so, JEA will
consent. JEA will not consent,
however, to Callahan providing
such service and facilities
through any other utility or enti-
ty, or to any other utility or enti-
ty providing such service,"
Cavey's letter stated.
JEA's decision to OK the
project followed a meeting Sept.
17 between JEA brass and
Daniel Camp, an executive of
Rayonier's real estate arm
Terra Pointe, where they dis-
cussed Callahan's desire to pro-
vide the site with water and
sewer service, according to the

them," he said.
With the number of inde-
pendent carriers on the down-
swing and larger carriers tap-
ping increasingly into the
Caribbean market, said Schwec,
volumes are down across the
board.
"It's a clown cycle," he said.
At the State of the Port
address last year, he announced
the Port had moved record lev-
els of tonnage for the second
straight year.
But after posting historic
numbers two years running, a
down year is to be expected,.
Fullwood said. "Somebody's tak-
ing their place and we're going
to move right along."
Fullwood and Schwec dis-
missed suggestions that the
port lost around 40 percent of its
business with the Seaboard
account.
"Our container business isn't
even 40 percent of our total (rev-
enues), much less Seaboard
Marine," Schwec said.

"It's definitely utilized by)
some groups," said Johnson,
who added that the spot was still
listed online as a "public boat
ramllp.
Representing the Bell family
of Hilliard, which owns a swathe
of property on the road, Mike
Mullin, a former county attor-
ney now with Rogers Towers,
said his clients had met with
their neighbors to discuss aban-
doning the road and all of them
were on board with the idea.
He said the Bells would have
no problem working with local
boaters so they could still reach
the boat launch.
Bruce Cribbs of Hilliard, who
owns a home there, said he and
his neighbors had been having
issues with partiers and tres-
passers including a man arrest-
ed on his property last week on
an outstanding Charlton County,
Ga., warrant who come on
their land and leave behind a
trail of litter, booze and dam-
aged property.

"(Camp) advised JEA that
Callahan is willing and able to
provide water and wastewater
service to the site. He also pro-
vided much detail regarding
the site certification process
that is on a fast track for the
development," the letter stat-
ed.
County officials and JEA
executives have been at odds
on how to provide water and
sewer services to the Crawford
Diamond. JEA has suggested
it would not extend those serv-
ices until development warrants
it, while the county has argued
that providing the services
sooner would lure develop-
ment.

for the Crawford Diamond
could come as soon as 2013,

"There's a lot of drunks out

Another property owner,
Sandra Van Guindy, called the
situation a "free-for-all," point-
ing out that the Cribbs' and
other landowners' efforts to
secure their land have not
stopped the problem.

some of his students there.
But Pikula warned commis-
sioners that the area has long
since been a public access to
the St. Marys River, and that
making the road private would
not remedy the problem.
"It's a bigger problem than
closing the road will solve," he
told the board.
"It's getting worse and
worse," said Commissioner
Barry Holloway, whose district
includes Hilliard. Closing the
road is "not going to solve the
problem," though it would cut
down on it, but the trespassing
and partying will remain an
"enforcement issue," Holloway
told commissioners.
"I think it's going to be a win-
win situation for the property
owners and the county as well,"

Kids and cars


Since starting this column
a couple years ago, many peo-
ple have shared with me that
they have used it as a
resource for their kids or
grandkids. I remember turn-
ing 16 and having been
around the car business since
I was live. My father had a
demo for some years and a
nice new car seemed like the
way to go for me. My cam-
paign for.a new Monte Carlo
fell on deaf ears. Instead, my
first transportation was an old
Fiat 128 sedan from the used-
car lot. No air, straight drive,
econo box reality check. I
survived and did talk my
father into switching into
other more desirable trades.
They were all high-mileage,
low-cost cars.
Not unlike me at 16,
today's teens will arm-twist for
all they can get their parents
to agree to, including Wheels.
Both my kids got used cars
when they were 16. Each put
about half the cost into the
mix from money they saved.
Both still have their now
seven-year-old cars and still
like them.
If there is one thing that I
could pass along, it is make
them have some skin in the
game. Girls start babysitting
at about 13, as did Katie. We
told her to save half and buy

all the T-

flip-flops she
wanted with
the rest.
Babysitters
get paid a
bunch of
money and
her savings
grew. She
started work-
ing at the
Red Otter at
15 and still
saved half.


Acid in overly generous birth-
day money from relatives
going into savings and it all
added up. Boys can mow
yards or find other ways to
earn a dollar if they try. The
point is they relate to the car
being theirs more when they
paid for part of it.
The contribution they
make could be something you
match in some formula. Two
months before they turn 16 is
not the time to announce the
plan. I would say 12 is not too:
early to broach the subject.
Most 12-year-olds these days
are cell phone packing little
operators, beginning to envi-
sion young adulthood. What is
a more adult concept than
money and the need to pay for
things? Plant a seed that cars
are expensive to buy, insure

and operate. They should
start trying to put some
money aside now if they want
a car in high school.
One of my pet peeves is
high school kids working 30-
plus hours a week to make a
car payment. They are not get-
ting a credit reference, since it
must be in a parent's name
and tie up their credit line.
They are sacrificing their
grades in some cases to have
a better car. Drive what you
can pay for and be happy to be
mobile. Plan to get a better
car for college or to commute
to work after high school.
Good things are worth waiting
for and working for, and cars
are no exception.

Strong nesting season

for Florida loggerheads


Loggerhead sea turtle nest-
ing was near a 24-year high
along Florida beaches this
year, according to data com-
piled by Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Com-
mission researchers. The log-
gerhead is listed .. .! .,ll. as a
threatened species.
Trained surveyors from
partners across the state count
nests on nearly 250 miles of
beaches as part of the Index
Beach Nesting Survey. Survey-
ors follow firm counting guide-
lines, making it possible for
FWC researchers to use the
data from these beaches to
identify trends.
In 2012, index beach sur-
veyors counted 58,172 logger-
head nests, one of the highest
counts since monitoring began
in 1989. Nesting on these
beaches peaked at 59,918 nests
in 1998, and hit a low of 28,074
in 2007.
(On Amelia Island, there
were 222 nests with 13,446.
hatchlings of loggerhead,.
green turtles and leatherback
turtles thus far in 2012. For a.
detailed count, visit www.ameli-,
aislandseaturtlewatch.com.)
"After a steep decline in
Florida loggerhead nesting
between 1998 and 2007, nest-
ing has risen over the past five.
years," said' Blair Withering-.
ton, FWC research scientist.
"We're pleased to see this
increase, but we recognize that
loggerheads, and other sea tur-
tle species, still face many chal-
lenges."
As hatchlings will continue
to emerge from nests through
November, people are asked

to stay at a distance if they spX)t
sea turtles on the beach.
People are also asked to
remove beach furniture and
other objects from the beach at
night so there is ia clear path
for hatchlings to make it to the
water.
In the U.S., 90 percent of
all loggerhead nesting occurs
in Florida, the majority of
which takes place along the
state's east coast. The logger-
head is the most common sea
turtle sptxcies to nest in Florida.
Green turtles and leather-
backs, federally endangered
species, also nest on Florida
beaches, primarily on the east
coast, and their nesting num-
bers have been increasing over
time.
Since tracking began in
1989, green turtle nesting in
Florida has increased about
tenfold. This year, surveyors
found 6,054 green turtle nests
on index beaches, down from
last year, but consistent with
normal variation.
Leatherback nesting in
Florida also has been on the
rise since monitoring began.
For the 2012 season, surveyors
counted 515 leatherback nests
on index beaches. Only 45
leatherback nests were count-
ed on the same beaches in
1989.
The extensive data collec-
tion is made possible with the
help of hundreds of surveyors
from conservation organiza-
tions, universities and federal;
state and local governments
along with private volunteers.

I've got itnailed


I knew that I had a serious
problem with my fingernails
when I realized I was using Ithe
fast fix of clipped, short nails
and a lot of clear polish to keep
the snags and tears down to an
almost tolerable level. If you
think that this is just another
girly-girly complaint, it's
because you have not yet expe-
rienced how much a set of
messed-up nails can interfere
with the normal ebb and flow of
everyday life.
My family practice physician
at the time had no clue what to
do about fingernails. No one
had ever presented him with
that problem before. Aweek or
two later, my dermatologist gen-
tly explained that splitting nails
are just a part of growing older.
We take calcium, but our nails
still grow brittle. Sometimes we
are on medication that changes
our chemical balance enough
to make them brittle. The mes-
sage was, "You're doing fine.
Your nails look great for a
woman your age." You can
imagine how well I received that
diagnosis.

have taken the 5000 mcg biotin

too long ago about biotin. After
some quick research, he agreed
that it might be worth a try. No
one had ever asked him about
nail care either, and we both
suspect it's because most
patients don't know who to ask.
One last word of wisdom.
The label on the biotin bottle
claims that it also promotes hair
growth. Two of my women
friends who have been taking
biotin for several months are
now showing some signs of
improvement in hair health and
growth.
Brenda, my hairdresser at
Images Salon, is madly in love
with biotin. Since I have been on
this regimen, I have to visit her
twice a month instead of once.
Her battle cry these days is


"Keep on takin' that vitamin!"
She's telling her other cus-
tomers with nail and hair issues
to try it, too.
The important thing to real-
ize about this process is that it
is a long one. If you want to look
like Rapunzel with long, flow-
ing locks by Christmas, forget it.
Same goes for dagger-like
talons in time for Halloween. It
is a slow process, measured in
months, not days. If you decide
to try biotin, work your way
through the entire bottle before
you start to make any analytical
decisions.
Next time you see me, make
sure I show you my wonderful
nails, thanks to Tracie and
biotin. And my twice-a-month
haircut from Brenda will be
another one of her brilliant mas-
terpieces.
Good luck with the biotin. I
hope it works as well for you as
it does for me. With apologies to
Roy Rogers, happy nails to you!

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


Union soldiers need help
My name is Jefferson Harris and I
have been resting peacefully in Old
Bosque Bello Cemetery since 1888.
Jonas Miller and I are buried close to
each other, which seems fitting as we
both enlisted in the Union Army in
1863 to fight for our rights and be free
from slavery. I enlisted at New Bern,
N.C., in the 35th U.S.C.T (Colored
Troops) and Jonas enlisted here in the
21st U.S.C.T. After the war, I moved to
Fernandina with my family and lived
just a few blocks from Jonas and his
family.
Our stories, along with 29 other
black soldiers and sailors buried here
in Old Bosque Bello, are waiting to be
told. We came from various cities,
states and backgrounds including
slavery to fight for our freedom. After
the war, we all came to Fernandina to
live out our lives in newfound peace.
Some of us received pensions due to
our disabilities or wounds but all of us'
are recognized with unique head-
stones. If you get the chance, please
come out to the cemetery and visit
with Jonas and me at the southern end
of Azalea at Oleander.
Recent events within the cemetery
weigh heavily on Jonas and me. The
city allowed a family to expand their
plot by moving our headstones and
constructing a 17-foot by 60-foot con-
crete-block enclosure literally on top
of our graves. I can only imagine what
might come next a new family burial
disturbs our remains and our bones
are cast aside. Anew friend of mine vis-
ited City Hall and was told permits
aren't required for any work in the
cemetery and Historic District Council
approval isn't needed. Any "oversight"
of Bosque Bello, he was told, is pro-
vided by the Parks & Recreation
Department and they already approved
the work. Why aren't building permits
required for structures in the cqme-
tery? Old Bosque Bello is in the
Historic District so why isn't the
Historic District Council protecting
Jonas and me?
There are graves all around me
without headstones. Families have
moved on or disappeared into history
and no one is left to protect or restore
them. There are no "ownership"
records in this part of thecemetery
and the city is at the mercy of the liv-
ing to be honest. I understand science
has advanced so far now that you can
see into the ground with ground-pen-
etrating radar. Why isn't this "magic"
used to locate, mark, and protect lost
graves? At the very least, shouldn't
this machine be used before opening
new graves or expanding any family
plots? This would protect and preserve
our lost friends.
Jonas and I shouldn't need pi-otec-
tion our headstones have marked
our graves for well over a century. Our
names and graves are recorded in the
1988 survey book of Old Bosque Bello.
So why are our headstones now
moved, our remains built over and our
graves given away? Who will take this
structure off of us and restore our dig-
nity? Who among you is willing to pro-
tect us and the others resting in Old
Bosque Bello now at the mercy of the
living?

Elections
I want to share a story of a student
with a recognized learning.disability.
This story is repeated in every school
with our increased emphasis on mul-
tiple standardized tests. A principal in
another district made a statement to
me that we know children learn dif-
ferently, but we have not learned how
to test them differently.
Mark was only four when he start-
ed school. He struggled with immatu-
rity and a lack of attention span that car-
ried over to first grade. While he did
OK in school, the decision was made
fo hold him back in first grade so he
could mature. He was tested by both a
private and school psychologist. Both
psychologists agreed that Mark had a
normal IQ, but suffered from a pro-
cessing deficit. In the second grade
the processing disorder was very
apparent along with a short-term mem-
ory loss. Mark's academic struggle
was just beginning. When Mark was
in third grade he faced mandatory
retention if he did not pass FCAT. His
parents went over the practice test and
wondered how third graders were
going to-pass this test. They were hor-
rified to think that students with doc-
umented learning disabilities would
have to pass the same test. They spoke
to district officials and even wrote the
governor explaining that this is down-
right discrimination. Mark did not pass
FCAT, He vwas promoted to fourth
grade because he had previously been
retained. He had an IEP, but had to
attend summer school. Mark contin-
ued to fail FCAT and attend summer
school each year. In middle school the
IEP team decided to staff Mark in a
self-contained ESE class.
Mark's middle-school years were


spent in remedial classes because he
could not pass FCAT, even as a full-
time ESE student. When other kids
were participating in fun activities dur-
ing PE., Mark was inside taking inten-
sive reading and math. Mark hated
school. He felt like he was continually
being punished for not being "good
enough." His parents continued to
express their concerns over the unfair
testing and punishment that the stu-
dents with learning disabilities faced,
but nothing ever changed.
Knowing their son was capable of
learning more than was being offered


in the self-contained ESE classroom,
his parents decided to put him back in
mainstream classes. Mark entered
ninth grade on the standard diploma
track. Each year he worked hard and
studied for FCAT, only to fail every
time. He felt like he had a "one" tat-
tooed on his forehead.
Mark is a very creative young man
. who is good with hands-on activities.
He has missed out on most of the elec-
tives that would keep him interested in
school because he was "stuck" taking
intensive math and reading. What
could he have done in an art or pottery
class? His parents became very dis-
heartened while studying with Mark
for his 10th-grade FCAT The test was
just too hard. They told Mark to justto
do his best. He once again did not pass.
Mark felt that he was a loser. He con-
tinued to take and retake the FCAT
only to fail each time. That left him
feeling that' he is riot capable of any-
thing.
Mark was on a regular diploma
track, and for the most part he main-
tained a "B" or "C" in every class. His
parents feel that Mark grew tremen-
dously in high school, and that FCAT
cannot measure how smart or how not
so smart their son is. Mark was award-
ed a standard diploma with an FCAT
waiver because of his disability and
the efforts to remediate for the test.
We all learn in different ways. Mark
is avery auditory, hands-on learner, yet
he is given the same test as everyone
else. He has a documented learning
disability, yet he is expected to take
and pass the same test as. everyone
else. Mark will go on to have a happy
life, but memories of his school life
will always be shadowed with the frus-
tration of FCAT Our legislators need
to take another look at what we are
subjecting our students to, especially
the students with disabilities. To con-
tinue to expect students with disabili-
ties to pass FCAT or the new End of
Course exams is pure and simple dis-
crimination.
I hope that everyone reading this
letter will realize the struggle that
many students with documented learn-
ing disabilities and those who just do
not do well on a standardized test face
every year. They are not dumb or stu-
pid and we need to find better ways to
evaluate their learning gains than
FCAT and End of Course exams that
are pass/fail. Our legislators need to
take another look at what we are sub-
jecting our students to, especially the
students with disabilities. Expecting
students with disabilities to pass FCAT
or the new End of Course exams is
pure and simple discrimination. Our
school personnel work very hard with
our students to ensure their success
:ud mrianIdo finally pass, but at what
"..," I hl'p- everyone will realize that
we have students with many talents
who need to be celebrated not labeled.

Questions for Mr. (city commission
candidate John) Elwell:
During the 2011 campaign, did you
not make a somewhat misleading state-
ment about serving on an "Airport
Advisory Board"? You clarified it later,
but....
Also during the 2011 cycle you indi-
cated your relationship with former
City Manager (Michael) Czymbor was
casual attended same church, etc.
Fast forward. Recently, word on the
street has you and Mr. Czymbor hav-
ing either breakfast or lunch together
at a local establishment. If accurate,
how would you now characterize your
relationship?
In the run-up to the 2011 election,
your expressed stand on Forward
Fernandina was opposed, I believe.
However, during the subsequent"
runoff, you were in favor, given who
your supporters and donors were. Now
there appears to be some indication
you may favor returning the money
borrowed for F2. So, where are you
now?
Question for Mr. (city commission
candidate Tim) Poynter:
Why are you running?
We all need to think carefully before
filling in the little ovals on the ballot.
So, for our future, vote Gass, vote
Boner and, most importantly, vote
Romney.

Honor the military
Re: "Stop glorifying the military,"
Oct. 19.
This letter must be cynicism or
obfuscated humor; surely but no, my
psychiatrist friend informs me, my
interpretation is delusional. He opines
this to be either a case of unresolved
"potty training" issues or a failure to
adjust to military discipline during
unsuccessful Cub Scout training.
How can anyone espouse such
inane drivel? Possibly true among chil-
dren playing soldier, but it has been my
experience that heroes go to great
lengths to avoid public recognition of
their heroism, attributing it to either


doing what they were trained to do or
to being in the right place at the right
time. Oh yes, I am certain the writer
would also have you believe that all
members of the military were in it only
for the "big bucks." For sure, I was! -
$232 per month as a second lieutenant
and $825 per month while in combat
commanding 425 men, 67 pilots and 28
helicopters.
The courage of our young warriors
has never been in doubt, whether they
were draftees or volunteers. Nor have
I ever found them resentful or disre-
spectful of other hazardous occupa-

tions. Your comments brought to mind
those of William Shakespeare in "Julius
Caesar:" "Cowards die many times
before their deaths." On reflection, I
think that is probably best.
My comments are based upon my
military experience as a private, ser-
geant, and colonel in the U.S. Army
with two Purple Hearts, who as a
draftee spent 28 years on active duty,
of which 25 months were in combat. To
those great young men and women
with whom I served, I offer the appre-
ciation of a grateful nation and apolo-
gize for ignorant comments of the bit-
terly uninformed. You did a great
disservice to those brave young men
and women who asked so little and
gave so much to them and all who
serve; you have my eternal love and
respect. Fortunately for America, we
will always have young men and
women who are prepared to make the
ultimate sacrifice for their fellow men.
God bless you all.
PS. You can have my discount at
Home Depot but not my right to be
buried in Arlington National Cemetery .
How does a minor benefit? From an
appreciative organization, lead to your
next absurd conclusion: "This mental-
ity got us involved in Vietnam (mis-
take), Iraq....?"
To blatantly paraphrase Voltaire:
"While I vehemently disagree with
statements of an idiot, I will defend to
my death their right to make them."

served,

I am disgusted by ("Stop glorifying
the military," Oct. 19). I'm sure I am not
alone. His opinions are wrong on so
many counts that I question the moti-
vation behind his outrageous state-
ment.
He claims people join the military
because they have nowhere else to go.
Hugely wrong. I graduated from
Princeton as an engineer and chose
to join the Marines during Vietnam
because I wanted to serve my country.
Most of those I encountered in my five
years on active duty had the same moti-
vation. Many young people do join.the
military because they are going to get
good training nothing wrong with
that. But they also know they are like-
ly to serve in a dangerous location -
that is certainly true in the last 10 years.
Therefore any voluntary enlistment is
accompanied by love of country and a
willingness to put yourself in harm's
way, for others.
My son and I have been deeply
involved in the film "High Ground"
(November release), which portrays
the struggle of soldiers injured in Iraq
and Afghanistan as they work to re-
enter the civilian world. In connection
with our Soldiers to Summits program,
10 men and women climbed a steep
and icy peak in the Himalayas, eight
miles from Everest, Lobuche, 20,000
feet Seven reached the summit- three
leg amputees, one woman from a
canine unit who had been confined to
a wheelchair for three years due to a
bomb blast, one guy blinded by an IED
and two with severe brain trauma.
When you see these fighting men and
women return home with life dreams
shattered, you feel their pain and their
sacrifice. For 236 years now, it is war-
riors like these who keep us safe at
home, who allow us to live in freedom;
and who have fought on.foreign soils
so that other nations might live free as
well. As Colin Powell said one day to an
inquiry in Europe, 'The only land we
have ever taken here is the land we've
used to bury our soldiers who fought
for your freedom."
(The letter writer) confuses policy-
making with military service. Soldiers
follow orders; they do not make policy
This is the lesson most of us.have
learned from Vietnam, that we should-
n't blame the soldier returningfrom
the battlefield for following orders
issued by the government.
My conclusion to his blather is that
we continue to honor our soldiers, to
shake their hands when we can, thank
them whenever possible and treat
them like America's heroes for their
wonderful service to us and our fami-
lies. They deserve our respect and


admiration.

A letter in Friday's News-Leader
("Stop glorifying the military," Oct. 19)
denigrating and disparaging our mili-
tary was an insulting piece of trash
and while I can understand why a
newspaper has to periodically print "
foolish viewpoints this absurd non-
sense should have been sent to the
circular file.
Whoever this individual is he seems
to need some serious help based on his
inane and mindless tirade against our
armed forces. It would appear that he
has also failed to grasp the basic facts
regarding our political system in that
it's the politicians who start the wars.
The military has to fight, bleed and
die to efid them. Is he from somewhere
else that he does not know this and
that the Commander in Chief is a civil-
ian? It's the politicians who send our
military "into distant foreign lands"
and perhaps they should be the subject
of his next pathetic diatribe. Speaking
as a Marine veteran I'm very proud of
my service; never thought myself a
hero; and I'm sure that this individual
was never in any branch of our military
and I'm certain we were all the better
for that. -*

(The writer of "Stop glorifying the
military," Oct. 19) apparently has noth-
ing better to do than to demean the
men and women who voluntarily serve
our nation.
How sad. As far as military serv-
ice being the "best job going for some-
one with their level of education and
skills," he might be surprised to know
that shortly after Pearl Harbor, my col-
lege-educated father left his farnlily and
his job as a high school teacher and
football coach to serve in the Pacific as
we took back the islands the Japanese
had invaded. Perhaps he didn't under-
stand that our freedom was enhanced
by our "incursions into distant foreign
lands." My father loved teaching ad
coaching but saw a greater calling. I am
proud to say he remained in the Navy
and retired as a commander in 1965.
I, too, voluntarily chose to serve. I
am a combat veteran of two wars, have
two masters' degrees and after a 31-
year career as a naval officer, taught in
public schools for 14 years. So much
for the military being the only job I
could get, given my education and
skills. Those of us who served have
never asked for "glorification." Sorry
(the letter writer) sees citizens express-
ing gratitude for the sacrifices service
men and women make in that light.
Fact is, pride in our country is reward"
enough for most of us. Perhaps he
doesn't share that pride. Maybe it's
just his lack of education or skill level.
For the News-Leader, shame on you
for printing such a vitriolic letter. Not
sure of your purpose other than to do
your part to ensure the lunatic fringe
have access to First Amendment rights.
Don Holland
Fernandina Beach

("Stop glorifying the military," Oct.
19) was insulting, vile and wrong on so
many levels I hardly know where to
begin a rebuttal. According to the
American Heritage Dictionary of the
English Language, the Indo-European
root of hero means "to protect."
According to Eric Partridge in Origins,
the Greek word Hera "is akin to" the
Latin meaning to safeguard. Partridge
concludes, "The basic sense of both
Hera and hero would therefore be 'pro-
tector'." As you see all our military can
be easily termed "heroes" as their pur-
pose is to protect the citizens of this
nation. Coined in English 1387, the
word hero comes from the Greek, lit-
erally "protector" or "defender.
While today we tend to associate
the word "hero" with someone who
risks their own safety while attempting
to aid or save the life of another it's
root is still relegated to those who pro-
tect. Most certainly the word should
never be applied to a sports figure,
actor or politician and that is the only
place it is overused.
I was initially stunned upon reading
your letter. I thought, what could have


possibly happened to cause this man to
take time from his day and write an arti-
cle which is so out of tune with the
rest of the country and to single out our
military personnel for a hit piece? The
only thing that makes sense, based on
your words, is that you were miffed
that someone in the military was
offered a discount or accommodation
andyou were not What happened, did
you not get a lousy 10 percent off ygur
muffin and coffee one morning? Or
perhaps a service person was allowed
to board a plane before you? How sad
your life must be if either of those
events was the catalyst for your venom.
The opening sentence of your post
suggests that we citizens have elevat-
ed our military to a "superior" status.
On this too you are wrong, the vast
majority of our citizens show "respect"
and "gratitude" for our military, not a
different status, just an acknowledge-
ment of their sacrifice and dedication
as a necessary part of our nation's safe-
ty. The moment they put on the uni-
form our men and women are "heroes"
because they protect us. Yes, that same
respect and designation certainly apply
to our law enforcement and firefighters
too and that is equally acknowledged
by the public. I didn't see you going on
a screed against them even though it
is common for their service to 'be
acknowledged by our merchants and
businesses as well. A free coffee and
doughnut for a cop or a couple pizzas
sent to a fire station are as predictable
as the sunrise every day. Again, out of
respect and gratitude for them doing
their paid "job" which all agree is a
sacrifice and potentially dangerous.
My friend Tony, in Maryland, is a para-
medic: his "job" is to answer calls to
accidents, fires and any variety of life
threatening situations. He sometimes
answers over 20 calls per day rushing
at high speed through the streets in an
ambulance to unstable structures,
potentially dangerous accident scenes
where they might render aid inside a
vehicle which could tumble down a
cliff or explode. Does he think he is a
hero? No, he does not. Is he paid to do
a "job"? The answer is yes, although he
did the same as an unpaid volunteer for
a dozen years. Do I consider him a
"hero"? Yes I do.
Respecting and showing gratitude
to our military is not "the mentality
that got us involved in Vietnam, Iraq,
Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran or Syria.
What gets us into these wars are deci-
sions made by our civilian politicians,
sometimes righteous and sometimes
not; it is always ugly and never desired
by the people or the soldiers. Our mil-
itary does not decide to go to war and
our population does not want it ever,
because those service personnel are
our sons, daughters, fathers, mothers,
wives, brothers, sisters and so on.
In February of next year my
youngest son reports to boot camp for
his Marine Corps training. Right after
he receives his "high and tight' and is
issued his uniform and boots he
becomes a "hero" just like every other
service person. And by the way he has
a job, he tested in the upper 95 percent
percent of all recruits in his intelli-
gence tests and, living in Silicon Valley,
he already has all the "high tech toys"
that he ever wanted. For you to suggest
that our military is made up of men
and women of low intelligence inca-
pable of making their own decisions in
life is insulting, demeaning and com-
pletely untrue. Pound for pound, brain
cell to brain cell, our volunteer service
people of today are the best educated
and best trained in history and more
than capable of thinking on their feet
in the heat of battle or performing
mundane tasks "in the background,
quite safe" as you stated. The very
sight of our forces sends chills up the
spines of bad guys everywhere in the
world. A recent example would be on
Sept. 11, 2012 in Libva. Two former
Navy Seals, not assigned to the pro-
tective detail for our Ambassador Chris
Stevens, reacted immediately on their
own by seizing weapons from the com-
pound armory and the two of them
held off what is reported to be a large
enemy force for several hours before
being killed themselves. That's two
against maybe a hundred and when

Yes on some


amendments,


No on others

Perhaps the most complicated, confus-
ing and confounding portion of the overly
long ballot for the November election con-
cerns the 11 proposed amendments to the
Florida Constitution.
None of these is citizen-initiated; they
were all put on the ballot by the Republican-
controlled state legislature. Several of them
were steered there by departing legislators
who wished to tie the hands of those who
would follow them into the state house as
constitutional changes are more difficult
than legislative ones.
Support for these amendments is split.
For example, the Florida Chamber of
Commerce supports most, but not all, of the
amendments. The League of Women Voters
supports none of them. Republicans favor
sothe;, Democrats others, ' I
We generally think there has been too lit-
tle consideration of them given all the other
ballot issues, from the presidential election
to local elections. For that reason, we are
troubled that the legislature chose to put all.
of these forward now.
But, having parsed them as best we can,
we are comfortable with a Yes vote on seven
of the 11.
We urge you to vote Yes on Amendments
2,3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
.No. 2 would reduce property taxes for
disabled veterans.
No. 3 requires a super-majority vote of
the legislature to raise revenues beyond an
established maximum.
No. 4 cuts the maximum annual increase
in property taxes for non-homesteaded
properties.
No. 9 provides property tax relief to sur-
viving spouses of military veterans or first
responders.
No. 10 raises the tax exemption for tangi-
ble personal property.
No. 11 reduces property taxes on low-
income seniors who have lived a long time
in their homes.
No. 12 creates a board of student body
presidents from all of our state colleges and
puts one of them on the Board of Governors
of the state university system, which seems
apropos in light of what has transpired of
late at Florida State College at Jacksonville,
where administrators and trustees were
looking out for themselves, not their stu-
dents.
We recommend No votes on
Amendments 1, 5, 6 and 8.
No. 1 is intended to undermine
Obamacare, a health care law better left for
now to the courts and Congress.
No. 5 undermines our judiciary, which is
intended to be a separate branch of govern-
ment not under the sway of the governor or
legislature. However much that sticks in the
legislative craw, we are better off with an
independent judiciary unfettered by the
petty politics of legislators.
No. 6 not only restricts abortions, but
the legality of health care coverage for abor-
tions, which is better left to legislative, not
constitutional, purview.
No. 8, the so-called "religious freedom"
amendment, actually would enable public
funding to be used directly for the benefit of
churches and sects, which we believe vio-
lates the separation of church and state
intended by our founders,
That's our take. If nothing else, we hope
it helps you save time at the polls.

'Tasteless {

Musings, opinions, observations, questions,
and random thoughts on island life, Fernandina
Beach and more:
Yelp, a website that depends on customer
reviews, is setting up a program to catch busi-
nesses that manipulate results by soliciting
positive reviews while similar sites such as
TripAdvisor issue warnings, etc., but what
appears to be missing is a mechanism to zap
those twits that threaten restaurants with bad
reviews unless the establishment provides
them a free meal or drinks. A number of local
bar and restaurant owners tell me that these
shameless food thugs confront them with
threats of negative Internet postings unless
their meal is comped,.an offense that, to me,
deserves a minimum punishment of a public
flogging followed by life in the electric chair.

Many folks who write letters to this newspa-
per address issues that are important to them,
ranging from city commission decisions to the
presidential election, but one that caught my
attention Oct. 17, was from Willyne Blanchard,
a lady requesting that readers of this paper say
prayers for the Jacksonville Jaguars, writing
that her parish priest passed on her entreaty
saying football was not a subject he was com-
fortable discussing with any degree of knowl-
edge to a higher authority and suggesting
instead that she petition this newspaper's read-
ers. She did, and I'm pretty sure she wants
appeals for improved play, but as creative and
articulate as her request was, that wasn't 100
percent clear, leaving me to think that she may
want prayers to protect the players from ticket
holders irate over the team's dismal perform-
ance or pleas to prevent them from moving to a
city more appreciative of mediocrity. No mat-
ter, she's my kind of football fan and it would
be fun to watch a game with Ms. Blanchard.

While enjoying some local, plump, fried
shrimp, broccoli salad and hushpuppies at the
lunch counter at T-Ray's recently, I was fortu-
nate to sit'next to Captain Martin Lents, a hail-
fellow-well-met responsible for providing those
tasty crustaceans to the South Eighth Street
eatery. Capt Lents told me that he has been
shrimping these waters for almost 20 years in
his boat Mar-Lou, in and out of David C0ok's
dock in Fernandina Beach seven days a week,
weather permitting, and that the wholesale
prices he receives today are less than they
were when he first started in the early '90s,.
while his operating costs have risen dramatical-
ly, with fuel going from 16 cents a gallon when
he first started to $3.40 today. On top of that
the equipment he and his two-man crew
require is mostly petroleum-based, including
the plastic baskets, nylon ropes, etc., and the '
fickle shrimp population picked this year to
play hide and seek, as they are prone to do
from time to time.
When he started, he said, there were some


STacky' a
I _75 shrimp boats plying these
waters not including a fleet
out of St. Marys a short dis-
tance up the coast in Georgia,
while today there are only
S,"'- ^ about a dozen, partially a
result of imported farmed
shrimp, many from Asia and
S_- which are raised in their own
filth, unlike the fresh wild-
DAVE'S caught island ones Capt.
WORLD Lents and his colleagues haul
in from the Atlantic here-
abouts. So when shrimp
DavidN shopping ask your grocer for
Scou local caught, and shun those
vile farm-raised critters and
stop by T-Rays on Fried-Shrimp Fridays for
some of Captain Lents' perfectly prepared
catch.

This past Saturday I kept looking over my
shoulder to see if I was on a movie set for the
remake of "It's a Wonderful Life" due to what I
experienced on our island during the course of
the (lay starting with a morning stop at Publix
to pick up items on my wife's grocery list
where I ran into Fernandina Beach Police
Chief Jim Hurley and newly elected Nassau
County Sheriff Bill Leeper assisting shoppers
and showing support for breast cancer aware-
ness. Upon leaving the Publix parking lot -
where a community blood drive supported by
the island's pirates was taking place I noticed
folks carrying huge boxes of eggs, vegetables,
etc., out of the Journey Church parking lot
across the street and was told that the church
provides these items to those needing assis-
tance on Wednesdays and Saturdays and by
the end of the year will have handed out $1 mil-
lion's worth. WOW!
Later, as.I biked downtown to the North
Seventh Street farmers market, I stopped by
Central Park where the United Methodist
Church was sponsoring a "city family day" with
food, drinks and activities offered free to any-
one who wanted to join them, and while
munching on my gratis Methodist hot dog,
stopped and chatted with Philippe Boets and
his park p6tanque players who always offer vis-
itors free games, instruction and lively conver-
sation, before I peddled my Way to the farmers
market where generous free samples from the
vast array of dry goods, edibles and drinks
always await and then wandered through the
eight blocks of classic cars on display.
Folks, the island population's generosity,
friendliness and sense of community, in addi-
tion to its natural beauty, make it easy to under-
stand why just recently Conde Nast Traveler
Readers' Choice ranked Amelia Island the 10th
Top Island in the U.S. for the sixth straight
year behind a slew of those atolls in Hawaii. It
doesn't get any better than this, and I am posi-
tive I heard Louis Armstrong singing "What a


id more

Wonderful World" as I made my rounds.

Tasteless and Tacky Department: Whoa, a
couple of readers informed me in no uncertain
terms that they were not pleased at all with my
observation last week saying CNN presidential
debate moderator Candy Crowley's first name
was appropriate and that it had nothing to do
with her disposition, with one -itL, -i;, 1 I
should change the name of this column to
"Tasteless and Tacky" and comparing me to
Walter Winchell, while another opined that my
opinion was "sinister" and "snide" and hopes I
can "show better control of my comments in
the future."
I am flattered to be compared to the late Mr.
Winchell and in support of First Lady Michelle
Obamh's campaign to reduce obesity across
the U.S., will exercise control of my future
comments once Ms. Crowley does the same
with her knife and fork. I'll also feature a "taste-
less and tacky" section from now on to contain
rebuttal from folks who find any of my com-
ments grotty and tawdry, so feel free to help fill
this space please.

Just wondering: What does local character
Pajama Dave wear to bed? A suit?

Speaking of Pajama Dave, if you want to
impress guests from up North and show off
your island home or just want to have fun anid
relax, there is no better way to do it than to
book one of Captain Kevin McCarthy's two-
hour BYOB twilight boat cruises out of the
downtown marina, which Pajama Dave some-
times captains while providing funny and fasci-
nating monologue. We joined the crew and pas-
sengers last Saturday evening at 5:30 and were
treated to a gorgeous sunset, complete with
accommodating dolphins, Cumberland Island
wild horses, great views of Fort Clinch, exotic
birds and the live music of Dan Voll and
Michelle Anders, a talented island duo who
had many passengers dancing to some familiar
tunes as we glided across the water. Call 261-
9972 to book your passage and bring a sweater
or windbreaker and some liquid warmth as
once the sun sets it gets a little cool out on the
water in the fall.

If you want a relaxing afternoon this Sunday
then check out the Wine Fest.co-hosted by
Horizons Restaurant and ATaste of Wine by
Steve (Raszkin), which will feature some 75
wines, food from Horizons, a cigar bar, art
work, photography, live music and more in the
Horizons Restaurant parking lot at 4828 First
Coast Hwy, Palmetto Walk Shops, between 3
and 6 p.m. for $30 a person with tickets avail-
able by calling Steve at 557-1506, Horizons at
'321-2430 or upon arrival. If you manage to taste
all 75 wines, you may want to call a cab or an
ambulance.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE


VOICE Continued from 6A
the details finally come out on this
politically caused debacle we will
see that these two "heroes" per-
formed superhuman deeds. If they
had lived I would be happy to give
them my airplane seat and buy them
the best steak dinner in town not
because they are "superior" but
because I am grateful and respectful
of them.
Perhaps you are just not suffi-
ciently educated concerning the sac-
rifice of our military men and women
and why they deserve our respect.
Here is a reading assignment for
you to broaden your understanding.
Pick up and read Citizen Soldier by,
Stephen E. Ambrose. Also get The
Longest Winterby Alex Kershaw and
maybe Google Major Bruce P.
Crandall, a helicopter pilot in the
Vietnam War.
In Ambrose's book you will start
off by learning of Lt. Waverly Wray,
who jumped into the night sky over
Ste-Mere-Eglise and the role he
played in keeping 6,000 German sol-
diers, their artillery, tanks and self-
propelled guns from reaching and
throwing bhck the Allied landings
on D-Day. Lt..Wraywas at the point
of the spear along with 600 other
paratroopers. Wray was ordered by
his CO Col. Ben Vandervoort to
flank the Germans before they could
get their attack started. After relay-
ing the command to his men Lt.
Wray made a solitary reconnais-
sance to formulate a plan of attack.
On that recon "he came to a place
where he could hear guttural voices
on the other side of a hedgerow.
They sounded like officers talking
map coordinates. Wray rose up,
burst through the obstacle, swung
his M-1 to a ready position and
barked in his strong command voice,
Hande hoch to the eight German
officers gathered around a radio.
Seven instinctively raised "their
hands. The eighth tried to pull a pis-
tol from his holster; Wray shot him
instantly, between the eyes. Two
Germans in a slit trench 100 meters.
to Wray's rear fired bursts from their
Schmeisser machine pistols at him.
Bullets cut through his jacket; one
cut off half his right ear. Wray
dropped to one knee and began
shooting the other officers, one at a
time as they attempted to run away.
When Wray emptied his 8-round clip
he jumped into a ditch, put another
clip into his M-1 and dropped the
German soldiers with the Schmeis-
sers with one shot each. Wray had
killed the CO and his staff who were
leading the way for the German
counterattack. The loss of their lead-
ership left the Germans in disarray
and the counterattack failed. The
next day Vandervoot visited the spot
to examine the officers shot by Wray.
Every one of the dead Germans had
been killed with a single shot in the


head, including the two with the
Schmeissers 100 meters away."
Waverly Wray continued to fight until
reaching the Rhine and was last seen
charging over a ridge, his hands
filled with grenades.
In Citizen Soldier 1 learned about
Repl Depots (replacement depot).
This is where soldiers, who until the
battle of the Bulge, were in college
stateside as a way of beefing up the
officer corps with educated soldiers.
Within days of the Battle of the
Bulge these student soldiers found
themselves in a Repl Depot before
being marched or dropped off on
the front. Without the benefit of arriv-
ing with comrades who had trained
together these individuals were
.alone and afraid. The order they
received, once getting to the line,
was simply "dig a hole as deep and
quick as you can, crawl into it or you
will be dead by morning." Often that
was the case as the Germans shelled
all night every night and the tree
bursts would kill many by dawn'.
Last year when I was informing
my uncle of my mother's death he
told me in conversation that my
father had been at Rensselaer
College studying engineering, pulled
from school and then sent directly to
the Bulge. I know only that my father
served in the Army and that he was
returned from the line with frozen
feet, a common problem with sol-
diers wearing summer issue boots
and uniforms in the coldest winter in
40 years. I had no idea he went
through the Repl Depots and faced
that hell the next day after arrival; he
never spoke one word about the war
his entire life. Was he a "hero"? I
think so.
In The Longest Winter you will
learn how 20-year-old 1I. Lyle Bouck
Jr. and 18 men of the 394th I&R pla-
toon under his command and on
their first combat patrol tied up the
main thrust of the German Panzer


Corps, its infantry and artillery at
the town of Lanzerath. Their action
bought valuable time for the Allies to
regroup and respond to the German
offensive. All received horrendous
injuries, ran out of ammunition and
had to surrender then endured
incredible hardship as POW's. Lt.
Bouck and his. men never consid-
ered themselves heroes and the lieu-
tenant never submitted his men for
any awards, they were just doing
their job he said. Thirty years later
President Jimmy Carter recognized
their extraordinary heroism and the
Army awarded them combat medals.
They became the most decorated
Platoon ofWWII. Are they "heroes"?
Bruce P. Crandall on Feb. 26,
2007, was awarded the Medal of
Honor by President George Bush
for his actions at the Battle of la
Drang. Major Crandall flew 22 times
on that day of battle into intense
enemy fire ferrying ammunition in
and pulling out wounded troops. Not
resting until all possible services
had been rendered to the infantry
battalion. Have you ever even heard
of Major Crandall? Those he res-
cued I am sure call him "hero."
I could continue with many sto-
ries continuing into present day but
I hope my point has been made.
These men and women deserve our
respect and yours, sir. The next time
you see a soldier, sailor, airman,
coastie or merchant marine getting
a "discount or a privilege," don't act
like a spoiled little girl and resent
what they earned; do as I often do,
walk over to them, shake their hand
and offer to pay their check. I don't
care if their MOS is filing paper in
Wyoming, because they could at any
time be sent into harm's way
I almost feel sorry for you and the
responses you will get to your article.
The Vietnam veterans especially
must be absolutely beside them-
selves having read it. They got no


LARRY WRIGHT/THE DETROIT NEWS
parades or discounts or accommo-
dations when they returned from
that hellish war. Instead they were
spit on and cursed at, called baby
killers. To this day they still have not
gotten their proper respect from this
nation. And now, over 40 years later,
you have opened those wounds
again with the verbal spittle in your
piece. With all the veterans and mil-
itary living near or on the island it
will take months to print what I
expect will be replies to your posting.
The editor has my phone num-
ber, I give him permission to relay it
to you. Give me a call and, at my
expense I will drive you to Walter
Reed and Bethesda to visit the
amputee units, the burn units and
the head injury units. You can look
at a soldier whose face may have
been so burned that his or her own
family could not recognize them. We
can go into the rehabilitation units
and see young men and women in
the prime of life now learning to walk
on stumps that used to be their legs
but are now high-tech metal springs.
If you like we can visit the head trau-
ma unit to watch a soldier try to re-
learn how to speak or move or
maybe even breathe on their own.
They are all "heroes" and not one of
them think of themselves in that way.
But in my book they are.
One positive result of you article
is that I realize that I have not done
enough for our soldiers and I will
work harder to do so, as will many
others who have read your piece.
I will leave you with one
final thought, it is a quote from
George Orwell that is proudly print-
ed on the front of my company T-
shirts.
"People sleep peaceably in their
beds at night only because rough
men stand ready to do violence on
their behalf."

Do good to those of the world bless and pray for them


Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirits whether they
are of God because many false
prophets are gone out into the
world.
There are times when we as Christians
seem so surprised when we are misunder-
stood, mistreated, persecuted, lied to and
lied about. Our usual response is, "1I won-
der why this happened to me?" Just read
the Bibte. The world hates us, which
means they detest us.
We say, "But I didn't do anything to
them." This is what we're thinking.
However, we surely did. We made Jesus


Christ the Lord of our lives, and they are
scared of us.
Remember, Jesus said if we were of
the world, the world would love its own.
He implies that the world has the ability
to love, but it's a limited love.
They know how to have friendship, be,
fond of, have affection towards and have a
personal attachment to. They have senti-
mental feelings, but we have to be one of
them to receive.
He further told us that we are to do
good to the world, to bless them, thank
God for them and invoke a benediction on
them. What we have in the form of love is


so superior to what they have.
We have the kind of love that
God is made of. The world's love
is based on what's in it for me? Ours is
based on what's in it for you? It's Agape
love.
Let us not be like Cain, who was of the
wicked one, and slew his brother. Do you
realize why he did this? It was because
his own works were evil and his brother's
were righteous.
Our righteousness causes the world to
react to the nature of its father, the devil.
The same righteousness causes us to ,
react to the nature of our father God, to


do good to those of the world, bless them
and pray for them.
Pray that God will help us to stay
mindful of Calvary and its purpose. The
world hated Jesus before it hated us. We
thank God for providing for us the same
gift of love for which He had Jesus endure
the cross.
Birthday wishes go out to Precious

City to update guidelines


for historic districts


The city will hold an initial
workshop on the planned
updates to the historic district
design guidelines for Old Town
and downtown on Monday, Nov.
19 at 5:30 p.m. in commission
chambers, City Hall, 204 Ash
St.
The guidelines are being
updated to accomplish the fol-
lowing goals: incorporate his-
toric preservation issues that
were not addressed in 1999, pro-
vide an opportunity to enhance
the images and graphics in the
guidelines and make the docu-
ments more accessible to the
public. The guidelines are not
being completely revisited from
scratch, as most of the material
is still applicable.
General historic preserva-
tion issues not included in 1999
that will be addressed include
the increasing interest of prop-
erty owners in using new build-
ing materials and products.
Other topics that have emerged
since 1999 are the relationship


between historic preservation
and sustainability, and retro-
fitting historic buildings for
aging populations and those
with disabilities. Various local
preservation topics needing
attention, such as the placement
of garages in new construction,
will also be addressed.
The updates will use color
graphics and provide updated
photographs and/or the use of
drawings to illustrate architec-
ture and preservation princi-
ples. Photos or drawings show-
ing 'recommended options
versus options that are not rec-
ommended may also be includ-
ed.
Revisions are also planned
to help make the documents
easier to read. New electronic
versions will be provided.
Linked electronic files will be
placed on the city's website so
that readers may easily navi-
gate within the documents.
The city solicited proposals
in July for a consultant to com-


plete the work. Five responses
were received as part of the
quote request and the evalua-
tion committee recommen-
ded Thomason and Associates
of Nashville complete the proj-
ect.
The city anticipates the proj-
ect will take place through
January. Updates on the process
will occur at meetings of the
Historic District Council, to be
determined.
The Florida Division of
Historical Resources awarded
the city a $19,500 grant to com-
plete the updates. No match was
required by the city.
The guidelines were last
updated in 1999 by the
University of Florida.
For more information, call
the city's Community Develop-
ment Department at 277-7325

Fort White took a 17-0
lead, but'the Pirates
answered with a score just
before halftime to go into the
locker room down 17-7.
The FBHS Pirates had a
19-play drive to the Fort
White 12-yard line.
"Penalties knocked us out
of field goal range," Hodge
said..'"This was a big blow."
Fort White scored early in
the fourth quarter to take a
24-7 lead.
Tony Frankland led the
Pirates with 137 yards on two
touchdowns and Will Mitchell
had 76 yards on 12 touches.

A Public Service Announcemnt by The News-Leader


The Council on Aging has been providing services to our senior com-
munity in Nassau County since 1973. Recent years have seen a
tremendous increase in the need for our services, overwhelming our
current facility. Moreover, the increasing diversity of our client base
necessitates more flexible space than our present building provides.
Our Board of Directors, staff and advisors to COA have identified the
need to transition to a new senior community center that will provide
us with resources to accommodate continued demand for our serv-
ices. Currently, the COA has an average of about 350 seniors on a
waiting list for services. Therefore, we are excited about our Building
for Our Future Campaign, and grateful to the individuals and busi-
nesses who have donated.

B A""As a couple and as a family we
have been really blessed, we
want to share. We are not that
good as Hands-On volunteers
S' so it's better for us to give
Financially. We recognize that
public funding for organizations
like COA, is slim in today's
world, so we donated to COA."
-Shelia & William Braddock

The Life Center plan is a result of dedicated research and
incorporates environmentally sound elements. It will meet current
needs and the coming explosion of the senior population as "Baby
Boomers" age into our system.

Ander Crenshaw
knows leadership
In government isn't
just about doing a
job well; It's about
doing It right. More
than ever, we need
principled leaders who
understand what it
means to serve who
value honesty and
integrity and inspire
the public's faith and
trust in Its Institutions.


Fuery day in Congress, Ander leads by
example, votes on principle and works
tirelessly in our best interest.


Ander Crenshaw has been a steadfast advocate
for the best-trained, best-equipped military; a guardian
of our military bases; and an activist for our dedicated
military personnel and their families.
On health care, Ander knows that 'Obamacare
must be repealed and replaced with real reform. The
new law means more government control, higher costs
and taxes, interference with your doctor and increased
deficits; it is wrong for America.
Ander knows that, to create the jobs America
needs, Congress needs to cut taxes for small businesses
and stop the spending spree, He will lead the charge
for fiscal discipline in Washington, a Fair Tax Initiative
and a line-item veto, and the end of wasteful programs.
I;, '-ie'is an ie.w ,d .'.i ir for
thefi ge we need to protect ".-, in-.)t

More taxation, regulation and bailouts will not
create more jobs. Andei Crenshaw wants to untie
the hands of America's job creators before the
country we know and love is destroyed... and the
American Dream along with it.
With his reputation for developing common-
sense solutions to national issues, Ander is the right
representative at the right time. He has attacked the
Administration's. bloated budgets and bailouts, job-
killing taxes and private- ...-
sector takeovers... and : .

A conversation with


AMELIA A. HART
For the News-Leader
"I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document
Given to Me by a Young Lady from Rwanda," now
entering its final weekend at Fernandina Little
Theatre, is based on the experiences of award-win-
ning playwright Sonja Linden, who worked as the
writer-in-residence at the Medical Foundation for
the Care of Victims of Torture in London.
The play explores the relationship between
Juliette, a young Rwandan refugee struggling to
write about the genocide in 1994 that killed her
family, and Simon, a poet, who meet at a refugee


center where Simon is helping
refugees write their experiences.
Linden started the iceandfire
S '' theatre company, which uses
performance to explore human
rights stories and which mount-
ed the first production of "I Have
Before Me a Remarkable
Document Given to Me by a
Linden Young Lady from Rwanda" in
2003. She now is active with the
Performance Ensemble
Company, a troupe of older performers who are
creating contemporary theatre. I was able to catch


t Sonja Linden
up with the always-busy Linden this past weekend
at her home in London.
FLT: From your work starting the Write to Life
creative writing program at the Medical
Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture to
founding the iceandfire theatre company, human
rights seem to inform much of your career. Where
did that interest come from? Why is it important to
you?
Linden: It may stem from the fact that both my
parents fled Nazi persecution in Germany, arriving
separately in England in 1939 just before World

PORTRAITS FOR POOCHES
Artist Susan Sellner, a volunteer at Nassau County Animal Services,
spent 10 hours a week training dogs to walk on leash to make them
more adoptable. However, after a fall last year and subsequent surger-
ies and rehabilitation, she was unable to resume her volunteer duties.
Wanting to still contribute to these animals desperate for forever
homes, Sellner decided to paint portraits of dogs she had personally
worked with at NCAS and sell them for $150, of which $100 goes to
completing the small dog and puppy area that is being built at the shel-
ter on License Road in Yulee. "Unfortunately, county funds only go so
far and all the work so far has been funded by donations and bther
fundraising," noted Sellner. "Doing these paintings is my way of contin-
uing to help the dogs and cats of Nassau County. In addition to selling
these completed portraits, I am taking commissions to paint 8 by 8
portraits of individual pets with the same deal: $100 will go to helping
the dogs and cats at Nassau County Animal Services.
To learn more, visit the Island Art Association Gallery, 18 N.
Second St., Fernandina Beach, where Sellner's series of paintings, enti-
tled "Shelter Dogs," is on display. Contact Sellner at

scraping and rubbing of grit
over our lives is not in vain.
Knowing that makes surren-
dering to Him, and the
process'of our perfection,
really exciting.
"Therefore leaving the
principles of the doctrine of
Christ, let us go on to perfec-
tion ..." (Hebrews 6:1)

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26. 2012 LEISURE News-Leader


FLT Continued from 1B
War II broke out. My mother, because she was
Jewish, and my father, because he was a politi-
cal activist against the Nazi regime. The young
Rwandan woman who was the main inspiration
for the character of Juliette in my play, told me
she felt a particular bond with me, being the
child of a survivor of the Nazi genocide -
which has some strong parallels with the
Rwandan genocide. My parental background
has certainly, and for the most part unwitting-
ly, informed my work, in terms of it themes -
tolerance of "the other" and combating injus-
tice.
FLT: Does the Write to Life program still
exist?
Linden: The Write to Life Project is now in
its 12th year. My successor was one of my
team of writing mentors and it remains a key
project at the Medical Foundation, now re-
named Freedom from Torture (www.freedom-
fromtorture.'org/survivor-voices/5112)
FLT: Simon says in the play, "It's the per-
sonal story that will make people really under-
stand what went on, that's what will make it
real for us." Was making the stories you heard
from genocide survivors real one of the goals
of the play for you? Why is theater a good
medium for accomplishing that goal?
Linden: When I started working with
clients at the Medical Foundation who had
experienced 'genocide, torture or political per-
secution, I was shocked to discover that their
trauma was often compounded rather than
alleviated on their arrival in a "safe" country
such as the UK Not only because of the con-
tinued psychological fall-out of their experi-
ences, but because of the indifference, if not
hostility, of their new host culture..
They arrive in a fragile state, expecting to
be greeted with sympathy and respect, only to
be vilified by the tabloid media and, in the
* majority of cases, rejected in their initial
attempts at gaining asylum. The continuous
reiteration of this bitter experience by the writ-
ers I worked with was what compelled me to
put some of their stories into the public
domain, in particular the domain of theater,
which is a shared experience as opposed to


SUBMITTED
Director Ron Kurtz, left, and cast members Frank O'Donnell and Fifi Dean during a
rehearsal break in Fernandina Little Theatre's production of Sonja Linden's acclaimed
play "I Have Before Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a Young Lady from
Rwanda."


the private experience of the written word, and
as such, a form of witness.
The personal story is rarely, if ever,
expressed in popular press coverage about
asylum seekers and it is this I hoped, naively
or not, might change hearts and minds.
FLT: The clash of cultures between the
tweedy Englishman and the young Rwandan
woman generates a lot of humor, something
playgoers may not expect from a play looking
at the Rwandan genocide. Can you tell me
about the decision to include that in the play
and how much of it reflects your own experi-
ences working to help refugees write their
own stories? ,
Linden: First of all, I thought it was essen-
tial to have humor in the play, as leaven to
extremely painful material. And humor, sur-
prisingly enough, did occur in my writing ses-


sions, and was equally important as leaven
there, too. Humor in the early stages of the
play, to disarm the audience and to enable
them to enter the story was, of course, a delib-
ecate ploy. For Leah, the young Rwanda
woman on whom the play is mainly based, the
play's humor was one of her favorite things.
This was really heartening for me. A lot of the
humor in the play arises from the cultural mis-
understandings between the protagonists.
Simon, the writing teacher, is hopefully a lot
more bumbling in this department than I ever
was! But his "cultural mistakes" and moments
of insensitivity are potential pitfalls for all of
us.
FLT: Tell us about The Performance
Ensemble and your involvement. What are
you working on now?
Linden: The Performance Ensemble is an


exciting new venture for me, fulfilling a long-
held dream of being part of an ensemble, and
working in collaboration from the earliest
stages of a new piece of work as opposed to
writing solo from my garret!
Its distinctive features, apart from
being an ensemble, are that it consists entirely
of older performers and theater practitioners,
all from different cultural backgrounds. We
currently have 15 performers aged between
60 and 83.
I founded the company in the belief that
tapping the energy and talent of older theater
artists from diverse backgrounds and skills
will reap rich artistic rewards as well as
inspire audiences. We aim to take a year to
create our first piece of theater, which will
cover 100 years of human history, as seen,
through the personal stories of our company
members. It will culminate in 2014 to mark the
centenary of the first World War. .
FLT: What do you hope playgoers
take away from "I Have Before Me a
Remarkable Document Given to Me by a
Young Lady from Rwanda," especially as we
approach the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan
genocide?
linden: I hope they go away with a greater
understanding of the impact of the genocide
as communicated through one individual's
story. My character Juliette was a composite of
three stories of young Rwandan women sur-
vivors, some of whose words are embedded in
the play. But I would also hope that the play
could sensitize audiences to all strangers in
our midst, to all people who are "other" par-
ticularly in these post 9/11 times when, for
example, Muslims living in Western countries
such as ours, are easy targets of simplistic vili-
fication.

Remaining performances of "I Have Before
Me a Remarkable Document Given to Me by a
Young Lady from Rwanda" are tonight and
Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Fernandina Little
Theatre, 1014 Beech St. Tickets can be pur-
chased at The UPS Store in the island Publix
shopping center. FLT is a small, intimate the-
ater, and patrons are advised to purchase tick-
ets in advance to guarantee availability.
