F LO R I DAY'S OLDEST W WEEKLY N EWS PAP ER NEWS LEADER WEDNESDAY, JNum19 2013/22 PAGFS 2SEC77ONS Ibnewsleadercom 'The future of Nassau County' is here GARRETT PELICAN News-Leader The "future of Nassau County" is forging ahead with the county com- mission's support for development of 4,000 acres of Ray6nier-owned tim- :berland in Yulee, clearing a path for growth there. Commissioners threw their sup- port behind a list of road projects des- tined for the Eaist Nassau Community Planning Area and a plan to pay for them at the first of two public hearings last week following a lengthy pitch from Mike Mullin, attorney for Rayonier. The second hearing is set for 7 p.m. Monday in commission chambers at the James S. Page Governmental :Complex on Nassau Place in Yulee. Commission Chair Danny Leeper and Commissioner Barry Holloway heralded the-predicted growth of the 'We are poised for some great growth in Nassau County.' DANNYLEEPER NASSAU COUNTY COMMISSION CHAIR planning area as the county's "future" after Mullin's presentation before them on June 10. "This is the future of Nassau County," Leeper said., The legislation, Mullin said, is the product of years of study and collabo- ration between county staff, commu- nity volunteers and Rayonier planners. It would decide how to plan and fund the development of 4,200 acres of mixed-use zoned property, the first phase of 23,000 acres to be built-out west of Amelia Island, he told the board. For too long, Mullin said, Nassau's growth has been mired in residential development, an expensive process that adds little to the tax base and actu- ally costs the county more to expand services than it gets in return frbm property tax revenues. "That's what we've been swamped with in Nassau County," he said. Mullin said development of the planning area would be done in, the vein of "smart growth," a planning concept that strives for better con- nections between homes and busi- nesses, saving dollars on infrastruc- ture, and uses a blend of residential, commercial and industrial develop- ment to grow the tax base. Development would leave untouched a certain portion of con- servation habitat, or green space, to allow for recreation and preserve wilderness there. Once built out, Mullin said, the planning area could have a $66 mil- lion impact on Nasau, including $12 million annually. He also noted it would need.$134 million to build the neces- sary infrastructure, mainly roads, to serve the area. Responding to concerns from res- idents Michelle Kling and Pat Eubank about the cost of providing all those facilities, Mullin and Commissioner Walter "Jr." Boatright stood by Mullin's previous statements that no tax dollars from outside the planning area would pay to provide services there. "If taxpayers aren't paying for it, how will it be paid for?" Eubank asked. That money, Mullin said, would come from a mobility fee levied on new development plus proceeds from tax increment financing, a system.that funnels fractions of increases in tax- able value into pots to fund certain projects. In this case, Mullin said, 12 cents from every dollar invested in capital inside the planning area would help pay for the construction of roads and other infrastructure there. "You still get 88 percent of the money generated," he told the board of the tax increment funding. Left unsaid in Mullin's explanation was how the system used for the ENCPA would mesh with the tax increment system used by the county's econom- ic development grant program a pro- COUNTY Continued on 3A BOOTS ON THE GROUND PHOTOS BY HEATHERA.

The Nassau County Circuit Court denied a summary judgment motion sought by city attorneys in the law- suit brought against the city in 2011 that claims it illegally collected impact fees. This means the case will most likely go to trial if the city 'fails in its appeal of the denial. The lawsuit claims the plaintiffs paid more than $1.6 million in impact fees, but that those funds were ille- gally collected by the city and were not. used to expand utilities but for other purposes. The plaintiffs number at least 700. The complaint was filed in 2011 in the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court by lead attorney Michael Tanner and local attorney Clinch Kavanaugh. The allegedly illegal fees came about after the city purchased Florida Public Utility's water assets in 2002 for $18 million and agreed to pay an additional $7.5 million for "futures" payments for new water utility cus- tomers added after the sale, according to the lawsuit. City Manager Joe Gerrity held office as mayor/ commissioner at the time of the pur- chase. Because the city had not paid the entire "futures" payment by 2009, it took out a bond for $5.1 million in 2010, which Was paid to FPU in full sat- isfaction of the "futures" payment, according to the complaint. City representatives later disclosed "futures" payments and impact fees went to "pay for existing indebtedness and not to expand or improve the capacity of the water utility to accom- modate new customers," which is an illegal use of the fees, the suit alleges. In another twist, the city's insurer, Preferred Government Insurance Trust, denied coverage for the law- suit last year, so the city may have to pay legal fees and possibly more than $1.6 million if it loses. An insurance litigation law firm was hired last summer to seek nearly $100,000 in defense funds from Preferred Government Insurance Trust. According to City Attorney Tammi Bach, the insurance litigation CITY Continued on 3A EI 10 uerer~eicrin. erer wc'iiy. uuunwu iMpwvmu~ at=61-6171 e F~I 0 IL....

Dofft leave pets to suffer in car For the News-Leader With the summer months upon us, pet travel is at its height and it's time for a reminder about the dangers of leaving your pet in a parked car. Whether you're parking in the shade, just running into the store, or leaving the windows cracked, d) Ait is still NOT OK #92.^ i to leave 2- your pet in a :2 ~parked cal'r. The temperature inside a carl can skyrocket after just a few minutes. Parking in the shade or leaving the win- dows cracked does very little to alleviate this pressure cooker. On a warm, sunny day try turning your car off, crack- ing your windows and sitting there. It will only be a few minutes before it becomes unbearable. Imagine how your helpless pet will feel. On an 85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the win- dows cracked can reach 102 degrees within only 10 min- utes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. At 110 degrees, pets are in danger of heat- stroke. On hot and humid days, the temperature in a car parked in direct sunlight can rise more than 30 degrees per minute, and quickly become lethal. Stanford University School of Medicine conduct- ed a studyto measure the temperature rise inside a parked car on sunny days with highs ranging from 72 to 96 degrees F Their results showed that a car's interior can heat up by an average of 40 degrees F within an hour, regardless of ambient tem- perature. Ambient tempera- ture doesn't matter it's whether it's sunny out. Eighty percent of the tem- perature rise occurred with- in the first half-hour. Even on a relatively cool day, the tem- perature inside a parked car can quickly spike to life- threatening levels if the sun is out. Further, the researchers noted that much like the sun warms a greenhouse in win- ter; it also warms a parked car on cool days. In both cases, the sun heats up a mass of air trapped under glass. Precautions such as cracking a window or run- ning the air conditioner prior to parking the cir were found to be inadequate. "If more people knew the danger of leaving their pets in their parked car, they wouldn't do it," states Kim Salerno, TripsWithPets.com president and founder. "Pets are very susceptible to over- - heating as they are much less efficient at cooling themselves than people are," adds Salerno. The solu- tion is simple leave your pets at home if the place you are going does not allow pets. Dogs are designed to con- serve heat. Their sweat glands, which exist on their nose and the pads of their feet, are inadequate for cool- ing during hot days. Panting and drinking water helps cool them, but if they only have hot air to breathe, dogs can suffer brain and organ damage after just 15 min- utes. Short-nosed breeds, young pets, seniors or pets with weight, respiratory, car- diovascular or other health problems are especially sus- ceptible to heat-related stress. Signs of heat stress include: heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting or a deep red or purple tongue. If a pet becomes overheated, immediately lowering their body temperature is a must. Move the pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water all over their body to gradually lower their temperature. Apply ice packs or cool towels to the pet's head, neck and chest only Allow the pet to drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. Then take the pet to the nearest vet. Animal Services officers or other law enforcement officers are authorized to remove any animal left in an unattended vehicle that is exhibiting signs of heat stress by using the amount of force necessary to remove the animal, and shall not be liable for any damages rea- sonably related to the removal. The pet owner may be charged with animal cru- elty. Creating greater aware- ness is the key to preventing - pets from this'unnecessary suffering.. . TripsWithPets.com offers some tips to help spread the word: Tell friends about the dan- gers of leaving their pets in a parked car and remind them to keep their pets at home on warm sunny days if they'll be going anywhere pets are not allowed. The Humane Society of. the United States has posters available for a nominal fee that store managers can post inside their windows to remind shoppers that "Leaving Your Pet in a Parked Car Can Be a Deadly Mistake." They also have similar hot car flyers. Get involved. If you see a pet in a parked tar during a warm sunny day, go to the nearest store and have the owner paged. Enlist the help of a local police officer or security guard or call the local police department or animal con- trol office. TripsWithPets.com, named best pet travel site by .

JUNE 19. 2013/Nt:ws-LEADIR BUSINESS .IN BRIEF PACE finances solar AlA Solar Contracting, Inc.. a locally based solar con- tracting company that designs and installs solar power sys- tems for residential, commer- cial and government clients, is now able to offer PACE financing to its customers. Properly Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) is an innova- tive way to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades to buildings. Interested property owners evaluate measures that achieve energy savings and receive IX) percent financing, repaid as a property tax assessment for up to 20 years. The assessment mnecha- nism has been used nation- wide for decades to access low-cost long-term capital to finance improvements to pri- vate property that'meet a pub- lic purpose. By eliminating upfront costs, providing low- cost long-term financing and making it easy for building :owners to transfer repayment obligations to a new owner :upon sale, PACE overcomes challengess that have hindered adoption of energy efficiency and related projects in our nation's buildings. According to the American Solar Energy Society, the U.S. solar industry grew 75 'per- cent in 2012. Pete Wilking, president of AlA Solar, said, "Many of our customers finance their solar project through traditional equity-type loans or cal)ital leases that usually have a credit requirement. So now with PACE added to the financing options available, even customers with lower credit scores can now qualify for low-cost financing to make the solar project a reality for their home or business." At this time PACE financ- ing is only available in Nassau and Flagler counties.

PERRY News Leader When Laurie Malm turned 40 years old, she gave herself the gift of learning how to quilt. "I knew how to sew. My mother had taught me. In the summer, my sister and I made all of our shorts and dresses. But I wanted to learn how to quilt. I took a beginner's class so I am conventionally trained." Lollipops Designer Bindings is the name of Maim's patented brand of quilt bindings that she came up'with when making quilts for her'son and the other soldiers in his unit. "In 2003, my son went to war. And he asked me, 'Mom, it's getting kind of cold over here at night, could you send me some of those quilt things?' So I told him, 'Sure, honey, I can make you a quilt.'". But her son didn't want a quilt just for himself; he wanted the 39 other soldiers in his unit to bewarm, too. So Maim went Sto her quilt guild in Virginia and together, they made quilts ,for the entire unit. It was while doing this proj- ect the idea of Lollipop bind- ings came into being. "The one thing (the quilters) didn't like to do was make the bias binding that goes on the edges of the quilts. It's tedious and difficult. One of the girls rolled the bindings up and it looked like a lollipop because that's how her grandmother had taught her." - That idea stayed with Malm and a few years later, she patented and trademarked the Lollipop Quilt Bindings and the concept really took off. A civil engineer for 22 years, Malm has been working'trade shows for the past eight years and has taught in many places, including Australia and for the American Quilter's Society. "I love the teaching part and I love the creativity but I hate the making so that's where my sister comes in." Mary Davis sews the quilts her sister designs. "She's an excellent sewist like our mother and she's all about precision and perfection and I'm all about 'git 'er done.' It's wonderful: I design it and she makes it, so it's a great combination." In keeping with that way of Thinking, Malm knows lots of Sticks and tips that can help busy quilters make difficult pat- terns in about half the time.. "We are not ,a traditional quilt shop.

Prices continue'to rise and inventory continues to fall. There were 1,951 closed sales in May, up 21.5 percent year over year and up 24.4 per- cent year to date. Pending sales also jumped: there were 2,321 pending sales in May 2013 ver- sus 1,725 pendingsales in May 2012, a 34.6 percent increase. The percentage of lender- mediated sales is in decline. Of May's 1,951 closed sales, 714 (36.6 percent) were lender- mediated while 1,237 were tra- ditional sales. A year ago, 42.9 percent were lender mediated.

Inventory of properties for sale is now at 7,892, down 30.8 percent from 11,407 a year ago. The supply of homes for sale plunged 43.6 percent since last May, with 4.4 months current- lyon hand. "We are clearly in a market on the move," NEFAR President Carol Zingone said.

The fabrics at Lollipop Quilt Shop are rinon-traditional, too. For the most part, Maim's ven- 'dors are smaller businesses like Art Gallery Quilts from Miami, a new company called Dear Stella and also Midwest Modern by Amy Butler. "You're not going to come in here and find calico! And the big box stores do not sell the thread that we have in our shop. We sell a beautiful Italian thread called Aurifil because it doesn't fluff like regular thread." The shelves chock full of colorful cotton fabrics are enough to make any quilter positively giddy and the sisters also stock other quilting essen- tials such as Cosmo embroi- dery thread, patterns, rulers, books, beads and crystals. When perusing the beautiful quilts displayed on the walls of the shop, visitors will notice a common theme. .

JUNE 19, 2013 OPINION News-Leader VOICE.OF THE PEOPLE No more taxes I guess most of you read the front page of the News-Leader. Once again some of the county commissioners are rattling the old "we can't meet our budget without raising taxes" chains. Same old story, even the same old tune. Well, first of all, (Clerk of Court) John Crawford specifically and succinctly explained to the commissioners how we could meet our budg- et without raising taxes. It boils down to using a small part of the $44 million surplus thai the county has. Of course there are many dire pre- dictions of how Nassau County would then take a direct hit from 11 hurricanes, 23 more torna- does and 17 countywide forest fires which would deplete the surplus. Yes, it's ridiculous to think that these would all happen in one year but the idea that the $44 million surplus is sacred and should not be touched is ridiculous to me. The people in this county are in hard financial times heck, the people of the entire country are having hard financial times. This is not a time to raise taxes. If using some of the surplus can help ease the financial burden of the people, then let's do it! Some of you in the higher income brackets (i.e., the commissioners) would possibly not feel a tax increase. But speaking for the average cit- izen, we will. Just as over the past five years we've felt the increase in the price of gasoline, the increase in the price of groceries, the increase in the price of clothing we have strongly felt those increases. As a matter of fact, most of us have felt an increase in the price of everything except our paychecks. And therein lies the problem. We're trying to pay more and more with the same amount of money. We have already tight- ened our belts until many of us are on the last hole we can't tighten any further. We need a break, not higher taxes. One of the commissioners has said several times, "We can't maintain the services we provide without raising taxes" well, I have a suggestion: cut the services. Or at least cut the budget of each department that provides county services. Every budget has excess. I repeat, every budg- et has excess that can be cut. Or here's an even better suggestion for the commissioners: go with the plan that John Crawford presented to you. Do you really want to raise taxes during these economic hard limes? I really believe that if the county commis- sioners knew how much the people did not want and could not afford a tax increase, they would follow the wishes of the people. After all, isn't that what they were elected to do? And isn't that what they have to do in order to be re-elected? So here's another suggestion. What if all the people in the county who do not want a tax increase just wrote to the commissioners and told them. Please, people, speak out and make your wishes known. If you don't speak up, then I am afraid the commissioners will think you don't care. Rebecca Walker Fernandina Beach Re: "County budget hole now at $12 million," June 7. There has been a lot in the news about Florida counties not having a high enough real estate tax base to be able to generate enough revenue from the tax base value to cover all of the counties expenses. I found it very interesting that Nassau County has a total of 415 real estate exemptions for fI I NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO FUTURE LAND USE MAP Nassau County proposes to consider an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Nassau County Comprehensive Plan by changing the des- ignation of approximately 24.28 acres from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to High Density Residential (HDR), Application Number CPA13- 002.

These 415 exemptions have a taxable value of $139 million, which at a lax rate of 16 mills would be around $2.2 million of additional revenue for the county. I understand that these tax exemptions have been around for a long time, but maybe these exemptions need to have a second look to see if they are justified. One example of what I amn talk- ing about is the real estate that is owned by these organizations and the property is just set- ting there and not being used for its purpose (Florida Statute 196.196 (2) has information on this).. These lre just some thoughts I have been having and I wonder if anyone else would be thinking the same way. Do state or federal laws mandate that the counties have these exemptions? Charles L. Milner Fernandina Beach Immigration redux I read with interest the letter on the immi- gration problem (une 5). He concludes that the ongoing efforts to craft comprehensive immi- gration reform will, in the end, amount only to "amnesty" and that only strict border enforce- ment and a massive fence will solve the problem. He states that his opinion is informed by news stories, radio and television discussions and numerous opinion articles on the subject. One has to doubt whether any of such sources were authored by someone who has actually been to the border region, let alone known or talked with an illegal immigrant or her employer. For over 11/2 years I employed and worked with hundreds of Hispanics, Mexicans and Americans, in Los Angeles, Mexicali, Calexico, Yuma, San Luis and Nogales. I crossed the bor- der at recognized checkpoints two or three times each week. On more than one occasion I walked across at other than recognized checkpoints. I got to know many of my employees, a few very well. Some were oo doubt illegal. My conclusion, based upon actual knowledge from first-hand experience, is that the secondary sources cited by (the letter writer) in support of his position are a combination of political sophistry and abject ignorance. The vast majority of the undocumented ille- gal aliens are Mexicans who cross the border to work. I would, and so would you, if by so doing we could contribute to the survival of our families. There is no other reason. American employers encourage and exploit this. Undocumented workers demand less, and no employee is more docile than one who fears a visit from La Migra. For decades the insatiable demand for cheaper labor has been met by a limitless supply of illegal immigrants. This has produced an underground economy that is a way of life in the border slates and moving inex- orably north and east. How best to uncouple this supply/demand nexus and eliminate illegal immigration? The "fence firsters" would have us erect a massive fence and increase the size of an already huge and relatively ineffective border bureaucracy to interrupt the supply of illegal labor. The better way, the smart way, is to eliminate demand for illegal labor by focusing enforcementlt efforts on employers. Punish employers for utilizing undoc- umented labor -jail them. Make the cost of non- compliance greater than the profits from cheap labor. The jobs will dry up in short order and ille- gal border crossings will be minimized. They come for jobs. If there are no jobs, they won't come. This simple concept is proven by the net negative immigration we have experienced dur- ing the recent economic downturn. A massive fence and a huge border patrol are superfluous at best. Utilizing massive con- struction projects and vastly expanding a para- military bureaucracy is eerily similar to engag- ing a tiny group of terrorists with a massive army and enormous bureaucratic build-up. Both are unnecessary and ineffective, but someone makes huge amounts of money. Have we learned nothing? And what of the undocumented who are already here? What of "amnesty"? If for years the government and employers have encouraged you to come here, by winldking at the law to keep wages, hence prices, low because you are illegal, is the government not now stopped from crim- inalizing your presence? This concept of basic fairness is well recognized in the jurisprudence of our country. When one party relies to her detriment on the actions of another intended to induce such reliance, the doctrine of promis- sory estoppel prevents the other from acting contrary to that detrimental reliance. As a nation, we have permitted our government to foster conditions designed to entice millions of illegal immigrants here to work on the cheap. Now that the politics have changed, how is it "amnesty" to say that we will not forcibly repa- triate them? Resolution of illegal immigration in a manner worthy of our country demands effective policies predicated upon clear-eyed recognition of ihe facts and history. It demands rejection of sim- plistic sound bites such as "amnesty" and "enforcement firsi" that are intendedl not to solve the problem but rather to marshal the herd of those too busy or too lazy to think for them- selves. Don Rooney Fernandina Beach * The thoughtful letter regarding Im"igrtion" May 31 offers a sober pause ill a debate which is often more emotional than substantial. He wisely notes that a handful of separate problems should be taken (In individually, if only' elected officials were able and willing to legislate in any way other than by bloated omnibus bills.

Robertson Fernandina Beach Government of the People This "Government of The People, by the People and for the People" has seen an increase in attacks and abuse from-inside our own gov- ernment. This must be slopped. The voice of the people has been lnuzzled too often for too long. It is unbelievable 'that any politician would not want to hear about what is going on in his or her own districts much less trying to do some- thing about it. This is still the United States of America. Too many secret and behind closed door meetings are taking place at all levels of gov- ernment. We should be able to express, and I would like to believe that our representatives would wel- come, input from people being affected by the decision-making process. What kind of politi- cian would not want to hear from the public 6n issues which are going to be affecting them with- out any say on the matter? Our rights are being eroded and taken away altogether in some cases and will continue without public action and an out- cry from the people to rid the Congress of dis- "ionest, hateful persons and give us our free- doms back. Some in Congress participate in insider trad- ing, meaning that when a bill is going to be passed which is going to affect the price of a particular stock, they buy that stock and pass the bill to make money, which would be unlawful for any of the citizens. The old days of being able to trust our con- gresspersons are a thing of the past.'There are some honest politicians who still do the people's work every day but the vast majority of our elect-: ed officials want to stay in good favor with their respective parties. I am a disabled veteran and have proudly served this country's military for 20 years. I would like to think I have a right to be heard, but with so much time being taken up by hearings dealing with the troubles of the leadership of our legislative branch of our government, there doesn't seem to be enough time to get any work done at all. When the two parties aren't fighting about something they seem to be just plain gone.: The only transparency you will find in our govw ernment is the empty seats of the Congress because they don't feel they should have to work like every other American. Congress is only in session for approximately 137 days a year. They say it is to meet with their constituents when as a matter of fact they take not four-day weekends but make it a two- or three-week vacation. Around- Aug. 3 until sometime in September, they take a hiatus because of the heat I would presume. Do- any of us get two weeks off for holiday weekends or when it is hot or just because we pass some- thing and are stressed?

This shift of expenses from the www.nassauflpa.com VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Facts vsopinion The column by Steve Nicklas June 12 contained so many factual errors that it would have been laughable except for the fact that it was printed as news instead of the opinion pages where it should have been. Allow me to address just arfew of the major "mis- takes" in his column: *. Obamacare will provide insur- ance coverage to 30 million indigent Americans. Wrong. Most of the people who cannot get health insurance now are not indigent. Many have a pre- existing condition and insurance com- panies will not cover them, many oth- ers work for small companies who do not offer any insurance to their work- ers, some bought their own coverage only to have it canceled retroactively after they became ill Business could be identified and fined by the more than 15,000 new IRA,,agents hired to, implement, Obamacare. Wrong. According to'the IRS website, it .anticipates hiring 291 new clerical staff whose job it will be to audit companies for Obamacare and provide tax credits for companies which comply with the law. I'll give Steve the benefit of the doubt here and assume the "IRA" .in the paper was a misprint, unless he has an inside scoop on Irish terrorists who were hired to fire bomb small businesses. Perhaps Steve would like to explain to the readers why Obamacare is 'socialized".health care. When most people think of socialized health care, they think of a system provided for and administered by the government. The truth is, the same health insur- ance companies out there now will continue to operate. No American will have government-run insurance except.for Medicare, Medicaid and veterans' insurance. The law simply places some logical constraints on the insurance companies, such as 80 per- cent of the monies they take in have to be paid out in benefits after expenses; and not allowing companies to cancel health insurance after someone gets sick. I know a lot of small businesses which would love to operate under this "socialized" environment which guarantees them a 20 percent profit every year after expenses. Oh, and by the way, the day after Obamacare passed the stock values of all the major health insurance companies went upat least 10 points. Yessir, Wall Street is just chock full of Socialists. Perhaps Steve should be more outraged at Florida Senate Bill 1842, which Republicans recently passed. In essence, the new state law strips Florida's current insurance regulator of any ability to approve, modify or reject rate hikes by health insurance companies for the coming two years of 2014 and 2015 in the new insurance exchanges required by the federal' health care law. Local insurance bro- kers estimate that health insurance. rates in Florida could easily go up 35- 56 percent. Similar laws have been passed in eight other Republican-run states, so when rates go up they can point to Obamacare as the reason. I take a personal interest in this issue because my daughter is one of the people who after college purchased her own individual health coverage, only to have it canceled after she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Luckily, she is fine now. But how many other people, did this happen to who simply died because they could not afford treatment? Could you imagine how you would feel, knowing that even if you do everything right it can all be taken away from you by a clerk in an insurance company? That is the health care I fear, the health care of greed. My question for this newspaper is why Steve is given this space every week to spout off his highly politicized views. Do not they truly belong on the Opinion pages? Does the paper care that readers rightfully assume that Steve is their mouthpiece? Who is this "major" U.S. firm that he supposedly works for, and why does this paper apparently take everything he writes as truth?

Today, in the age of 24/7 cable news and instant communications through the Internet, where anyone can say anything and reach a wide ' audience, facts have become almost irrelevant. Therefore, I shouldlike to take issue with the "facts" expressed in a letter about the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare reality,"June 12). Space would not permit my addressing every one of his points but here are two references you can check for yourself: "People over 76 will not. receive cancer treatment." Not true. Go .to: http://wwvA.politifact.com/oregon/sta tements/2013/jun/08/chain- email/will-seniors-be-denied-cancer- treatment-under-obam/ (it points out that this claim comes from an Internet right-wing chain letter that has been circulating since 2009). S Regarding his contention that ille- gals will all get health benefits, that's not true either, see http://uspoli- tics.aboutcom/od/healthcare/a/Are- Illegal-Immigrants-Covered-Under- Obamacai'e.htm. SIf you really want to waste your time checking all the falsities in his standard issue right-wing rant, just Google each one. William Raser Fernandina Beach * * I went online to. Snoops and Fact Check http://www.factcheck.org/ -. look at the Obamacare article about cancer etc. ('Obafmacare reality," June 12), and most of what this person is , saying is either false or misleading. The facts he quotes are from some "doctor" and "judge." I'd suggest that someone at the paper try to research these before publishing. Doran Donovan Amelia Island * * The letter headlined "Obamacare reality" (June 12) deserves response because it drifts so far from reality. The letter purports to be a section-by- section analysis of the Affordable Care Act. The same "analysis" has appeared in various viral emails and Inter'net postings. It appears to have originated with a conservative blogger from Arizona. The page numbers and sec- tion numbers, to the extent that they have any basis in fact at all, were taken from a House bill that was never enact- ed into law and is not the basis for the Affordable Care Act. The statements made about the law are either mis- SRIJMATSON/ROLLCALL. leading or pure fabrication. The letter writer says this is "insan- ity" and if the "facts"',he cites were true, that would be an accurate char- acterization. The point is this: there is a lot of misinformation circulating on the Internet. If you hear or read some- thing that sounds a little crazy, it prob- ably is. There are many reliable fact- checking resources to verify such claims, and they track many of the more widely-circulated rumors and hoaxes. If you don't like Snopes.com (which,-by the way, is an independent entity funded solely by advertising that does not solicit or accept funding from George Soros or anyone else), there are other independent fact checkers and many of the majpr news agencies also perform this service. Please check it before you forward it. j Richard McCullen Fernandina Beach It is said that we are all entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts. When I want facts, I do my own research. When I wanted to know about the Affordable Care Act (Obama Cares), I went to the law itself. You can find it at Healthcare.gov/law. The text of the law comes complete with a table of contents and a search box is available (Control F) which makes finding specific things easier. In some cases, nothing is found because it is not part of the law. Many people have been misled by a chain Spamm) email which gives page numbers for things that simply are not there. An example: one email says -that on page 272, it states that after age 76 cancer patients cannot get treat- ment, only pain medication. This is just not in the law at all. The American Cancer Society, on itswebsite, states that the Affordable Care Act is reduc- ing the cost of medications to seniors each year and closing the doughnut hole entirely by 2020. The spam email was based on HR 3200 (a 2009 bill that did not become law). It also stated that cancer hospitals would ration care according to age. There is no rationing by age or anything else' in the Affordable Care Act. In fact, hospitals get paid more if they are incurring higher costs and giving quality care. They are penalized for high readmis- sion due to not treating patients ade- quately. These erroneous emails have also stated that Acorn will be subsidized (that's nonsense). Acorn has not even existed for several years and was not subsidized in the law before it ceased to exist. On the subject of illegal aliens, there is a provision in the bill that specifically forbids "federal payments for undocumented aliens." 4t goes on and on, but we are all bet- ter off if we take the time to do our own research. On the subject'of the IRS, I am withholding judgment. There is a report that the individual who decided to do searches based on the words "Tea Party" was a self-described "con- servative Republican," not part of Obama's'Washington administration. Those poor overworked bureaucrats are always looking for time-saving shortcuts, and there were more new applicants in this category. Actually,. under the Internal Revenue Code, sec- tion 501(c) (3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or inter- vening in, any political campaign'on behalf of (or in opposition to) any can- didate for elective public office and are subject to limits on lobbying. They risk loss of tax-exempt status if these rules are violated. An organization that loses its 501(c) (3) status because it's engaged in political activities cannot then qualify for 501(c) (4) status. Likewise, 501(c) (4) organizations are generally civic leagues and other cor- porations operated exclusively for the promotion of "social welfare." If the IRS bureaucrats followed the law, most of these organizations would be denied the exemption and probably' a number of churches would lose their exemptions. I have been told a number of churches favored one candidate Over another and even held prayer meetings for their success. This breaks the tax law that grants them tax-exempt status. Most of my life I have been a practicing Christian. With that in mind, I believe (as the framers of the Constitution did) we should keep politics out of our churches. Many of the framers were deist. Deists believe in the existence of God but not organized religion. This included Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson - just another researched fact. Facts are often not what we want to hear. Research the facts for yourself. The Internet can be your friend, but there is misinformation (and lies) there, too. Use a library., Consider the source. Ignorance is not bliss.

Ron Sapp. Fox News It was in January of 2012 that I wrote to you about the foolishness of Ron Sapp's political views. Now. it is time to do it again - I was reading with interest his opin- ions about street performers from the June 12 News-Leader. In. his facetious sort of way he tells about his useless survey and "No," "No," "No" respons- es to the survey. Then in' a manner that shocks the reader, he attacks Fox News. Fox News has absolutely nothing to do with street performers in Fernandina Beach or his survey. SFox News is the only TV news source that is fair and balanced and not tainted. Fox is obviously not in the pocket of the administration like the rest of TV news. If you want the news, the only place to go is Fox News. If you want drivel, go to Ron Sapp. How could the people here have ever let him be their leader? If he wants to write something he knows about fine. If he wants to slow his ignorance, why publish it? Peter C. Jones Fernandina Beach Main Street boardwalk Capricious environmental permits re: "State defends Sliders' dune work" (June 14). Now reference the city's request to state environmental agency to replace the Main Beach board- walk. The city was denied a permit from environmental to replace the board- walk because a dune is against the structure (as a result of the boardwalk in the first place). Perhaps the city could take some lessons from George Stewart of Sliders Seaside Grill. There could be more than one way to "skin a cat."

Hit-and-run arrest A 43-year-old Fernandina Beach man involved in a hit- and-run crash in May that left the victims hospitalized with head injuries was arrested on a felony traffic charge early Friday, according to a deputy's report. Jamie Patrick Miklas, of 513 Date St., Fernandina Beach, was booked into Nassau County Jail on a charge of leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, an arrest report said. He remains in cus- tody on a $10,000 bond. On May 10, a white Ford van driven by Miklas was headed north on South Eighth Street parallel to the victims' car when Miklas swerved the van into their lane to avoid col- liding with traffic stopped ahead near Lime Street and slammed into their vehicle, according to witness reports. The collision forced the vic- tims' car into a nearby utility pole, hurting all of the occu- pants, witnesses told investi- gators. All of them were hos- .pitalized with injuries to their heads, necks and backs, including a juvenile passenger who had internal swelling to his head, the report said. According to the report, Miklas briefly got out of his van, looked at the victims' vehi- cle and fled the scene. Multiple witnesses identified Miklas as the driver and gave chase to get the van's tag number. Confronted later at his Date Street residence, Miklas denied being involved in a wreck, but nonetheless showed investigators his van, which had dents and rub marks on the right rear side and bumper, the report said. Deputies arrested Miklas at home about 1 a.m. June 14. Crash, drug arrest A 33-year-old Jacksonville woman accused of causing a three-vehicle wreck on 1-95 early Thursday was arrested on felony drug charges after investigators found a bag of cocaine in her purse, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Gale Renee Banner. of Jacksonville was booked into Nassau County Jail on charges of introducing contraband into a detention facility and pos- session of cocaine, both felonies, after deputies found a bag of the substance inside her purse, her arrest report said. Those charges were added to her initial misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence and driving under the influence causing proper- ty damage. Banner remains in custody on a bond of $17,500. Troopers were called to a wreck on northbound 1-95 about 4 a.m. Thursday, where they found three crashed vehi- cles, including a red Mercury sedan driven by Banner, according to the report. Witnesses told crash investi- gators that the Mercury, driv- en "erratically" in the left lane, swerved.into the path of a taxi in the center lane, forcing that driver to swerve into the right lane. The Mercury was then rear-ended by a vehicle fol- lowing the taxi, the report said. Banner, whose description matched witness accounts, had poor results on field sobriety tests and could not complete some of them, the troopers said. She allegedly told inves- tigators she was heading home to her Jacksonville residence After having "two to three" glasses of wine at a San Marco restaurant. Deputies found a bag of cocaine in Banner's purse at Nassau County Jail, after she allegedly had t6ld investigators she had nothing illegal in the bag, the report said. heriff in 'Operation Teddy Bear' Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said in a press release he is proud to play a vital role in advocacy for children and youth in Nassau County, who may fall victim crimes of vio- lence and other traumatic experiences. The Nassau County Sheriffs Office is con- ducting a campaign to collect donated stuffed animals and plush teddy bears; Teddy bears will be placed in patrol cars andgiven to chil- dren they encounter when responding to these types of calls.' Oftentimes, children are present. in homes where, domestic violence or other. traumatic incidents, have occurred. The Detective Division 'will also utilize teddy bears when interviewing young victims of sexual/phys- ical assault and domestic vio- lence. This effort will assist children through a difficult time and create a bond between law.enforcement and youth as they try and cope with the situation. S "These teddy bears will help a child going through a difficult tifne. Presenting a soft teddy bearto a child may seem, like a simple% and small act of kindness, but it is a pillar of .-hope for a IuIL'ini ki hild Copii'iL' with the immediate situation," said Leeper. The Nassau County Sheriff's Office maintains zero tolerance for crimes of vio- lence, or situations that jeop- ardize the overall health and well being of children. New and gently used teddy bear and other stuffed animal donations can be made Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Nassau County Sheriff's Office main lobby.

Sheriff asks: Are you ready fc An approaching hurricane can often leave people in a last minute frenzy to prepare for the storm. The Nassau County Sheriff's Office works year- round with its local, state and federal partners to ensure the effectiveness of the emergency response during a hurricane. "Just as we at NCSO plan for unexpected weather emergen- cies, so should you," said Sheriff Bill Leeper. "As we enter hurri- cane season, I strongly encour- age you to be proactive. Create a disaster supply kit and have an emergency plan inplace for you and your family." When preparing a disaster supply kit, the rule of thumb is "hope for three, plan for seven." SAsk yourself what you would need if you couldn't get to a gro- cery store, pharmacy, bank or gas station for several days. Some items to include are: one gallon of water per person per day non-perishable food items a can opener specialty food items for infants, elderly or pets )r a hurricane? blankets and pillows rain gear comfort, able, sturdy shoes a seven- _. '-. day supply of medicines or Leeper prescription drugs Sfirst-aid items Flashlights and an ample .supply of batteries a battery-operated radio a fully charged cell phone cash and credit cards a full tank of gas a waterproof container fil- led with important documents. When securing your home, here are some important safety reminders: Protect windows and glass doors with hurricane shutters. If you use plywood, make sure all pieces are properly fas- tened. Bring in all patio furniture, outdoor plants and decorations so they don't become airborne debris. Residents should plan for their pets, including large ani- mals such" as horses, in hurri- cane plans and preparations. Dog and cat owners should prepare a pet survival kit in a waterproof container that includes enough food, water and kitty litter (for a cat) for at least two weeks. Owners of large animals in particular should make plans prior to the announcement of a storm. Teach horses to load into a trailer well before it is neces- sary to do so. Store enough fod, water and hay for at least two weeks and outfit the horse with a leather or breakaway hal- ter with the owner's name, address and phone number. Plastic livestock identification bands can also be obtained. "Whileyou can always count on the Nassau County Sheriff's Office during times of emer- gency, there is plenty you can do to ensure your families, pets and homes are ready for hurricane season. Don't wait for a storm to threaten," said Leeper. Businesses urged to make disaster preparedness plan TALIAHASSEE The state Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has encouraged businesses, pro- fessionals and consumers across Florida to develop disaster pre- paredness plans for the 2013 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Additionally, the department stressed the importance of hir- ing only licensed professionals for any post-storm clean-up and reminded Floridians to avoid unlicensed scam artists who may target consumers after a storm. "Planning in advance is key to Floridians being able to pro- tect their home, family and busi- ness after a storm strikes," said DBPR Secretary Ken Lawson. "By having a preparedness plan and avoiding unlicensed activity, Floridians may be better equipped to protect II,.n i i-,l. ,-~ this hurricane season."

Consumers should always ask to see the state of Florida profes- sional license, which can be ver- ified online at www.myfloridali- cense.com or by calling 850-487- 1395. Consumers should ,also avoid paying cash or writing checks to an individual, espe- cially when the work is being done through a company. If unlicensed activity is sus- pected, consumers within Florida should call 1-866-532- 1440 or email UIA@dbpr. sfite.'fl.us to report it.

JUNE 19.2013 NEWS News-Leader Arts, crafts market to open ANGELA DAUGHTRY News Leader A local couple is opening an artisans/crafts market at South 14th Street beginning Sunday, July 14. Joseph Lee and Elizabeth Harrelson-Lee, who have a chiropractic business at 1920 South 14th St., are opening the open-air market at a grassy area in front of the 8 Flags Shopping Center. According to Joseph Lee, about a dozen local artisans have already signed up to sell their wares at the new Fernandina Beach Arts Market, which will be held every other Spnday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Lees also operate the Fernandina Beach Farmers Market Place, which runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on North Seventh and Centre streets downtown. Lee said the new market's focus would be on local artists and handcrafted items, but will also include locally grown produce and gourmet items, as well as landscape plants. "My feeling is, it will be the same as the farmer's market, which grew because of the support of the community," Lee said. He added that the only limitation for local artisans to get into the market would be that they would have to make their own crafts from beginning to end. Lee said he is also hoping to capture Sunday customers who can't make it to the Saturday, market. adaughrryiPfbnewsleadercom I .5 .

B SECTION OUTDOORS/TIDES OUTDOORS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19,2013 SPORTS News-Leader Sizzling hot kingfish There are several types of fishing action that make angling for gamefish very special redfish tails poking from a flooding spartina marsh, a 10-pound large- mouth bass leaping from a thick stand of lily pads, a sail- ,-_- ~ fish tail walk- -ing, the high speed run of a wahoo and. a "smoker" kingfish leaping some 5-10 feet P. :"- from the water. OUTDOORS My ago _- favorite fish- 7Tery Lacoss ing happen- ing is actual- ly witnessing o smoker-size king mackerel sky rocketing on a barbed kingfish bit. One such encounter hxT- pened several fishing seasons ago while king mackerel fish- ing at the mouth of the St. Marys inlet. The tide was flooding when a large school of threadfin shad were inter- cepted by an even larger school of smoker-size king mackerel. For at least one long minute, you'could see king mackerel sky rocketing from the deep inlet waters, capturing threadfin shad in midair. There were at least five kingfish boats fishing in the area and all were Instantly hooked up to better-than-aver- age size kingfish. I wish I would have had a modern clay Go tPro camera on board. Although I have heard of a few reports of migratory king mackerel finding our local waters, some of the best king- fish action has been south along the Jecksonville beach- es and offshore fish havens. The popular Golden Isles King Fishl Classic was-held over the weekend; 65 kingfish teams entered the popular event. Joe Jill captained the tournament boat "Moe Money" to first-place honors, with a 43.44-pound king- mackerel. A total of 32 king- fish were brought to the weigh-in scales. Many of the kingfish caught during the event were reportedly caught offshore in, water depths ranging from 60-100 feet. Included were the Brunswick 40-mile Bottom, the Elton Bottom, the Tanzler Wreck and the Amberjack Hole. w -. .~x. t, . ..I " / SPECIAL PHOTOS A high leaping king mackerel is pictured capturing a live'baitfish in midair, right. Summer king mackerel fishing offers both exciting action and several high-dollar tournaments too. The photo was taken by longtime kingfish friend Linwood Clark and clearly showcases the exciting high leap kingfish frequently impose on baitfish feeding close to and on the surface. Left, Spencer Ross is pictured with a real "smoker" king mackerel. Smoker king mackerel typically weigh over 30 pounds; kingfish weighing over 50 pounds are regarded as a very special catch. Top, tournament fishing boats are pictured weighing in their catches at the Fernandina Harbor Marina during the 2012 Fernandina Beach Kingfish Tournament & Fishing Rodeo. .. The bestnearshore king mackerel fishing has been coming from the Red Tops, whichare located jusi .ou th of Jacksonville Beach. Capt. Benny Hendrix reported recently kingfish boats fish- ing the hard bottom just off from the beaches of the'Red Tops were catching up to three kingfish while slow' trolling dead ribbonfish and live menhaden. Fernandina Beach's Garrett Nobles reports king- fish are also holding at the Jacksonville.Beach fishing pier. Nobles recently brought his live bait kite fishing tactics to the Jacksonville fishing pier recently and landed a 20- pound beach long. "The threadfin shad were schooling at the pier, which I captured in my cast net and quickly rigged up a live bait to my kite fishing gear," Nobles said. "A steady west wind soon-took my kite and live bait further offshore of the -. pier, where It was intercepted by a nice king mackerel. Ten minutes later I landed a 20- pound kingfish by lowering a small hook into the water." , Kingfishing in our home waters should pick up any day now with the water tempera--, ture in the low 80s. There is also an abundant supply of baitfish, including massive schools of menhaden holding along the beaches of both Amelia and Cumberland islands. Threadfin shad are also schooling along the jetty rocks as well, which is huge magnet for summer kingfish. Spanish mackerel have been schooling at the St. Marys and Nassau inlets, which is also a big factor in attracting migratory king mackerel. There areseveral-mo're ir: kingfish tournanients sched-, uled for the summer fishing season; live bait trolling'with blue runners, mulletand large menhaden will more than likely capture the top prize.

The most obvious piece of advice when playing on a wet turf is that you y *" realize that it is a very heavy ground you are playing on. Therefore, your mindset S needs to completely change on the type of shots you want to play during the round. S You need to make sure that you do not hit behind the ball on a wet ground. This is, by far, the most important task to be accomplished in order to achieve a good shot If you make contact with the ground prior.to hitting the ball, a fat shot will occur. The key to consistent play is to position the ball in the center Of your stance and hover the club just behind the ball at address. Finally, try to pick the bal! cleanly off the ground.

FL Donations needed to realize shelter dream On a rainy afternoon, I stopped to meet with Brandy Carvalho, executive director of the Nassau Humane Society. As I left for my visit to the shelter, the Big Guy made me promise not to bring a furry creature home. It was not an easy promise to keep. It was very hard to resist the kittens, cats and an amazing variety of dogs that I met that afternoon. Our two Yorkies, Oglethorpe and MacGregor, are not ready to ';share." We-met at the Dog Park on Airport Road and walked next door to the shelter. It isn't pretty. The facility is more than 40 years old and beyond repair. The dlog kennels pro- vide minimal protection for the dogs in cold or very hot weather. The space for cats and kittens is far too small and also in bad shape. There is only one small room for veteri- nary services lab work and animal care. There is good news for all Swho care about the well-being of our abandoned and/or Abused animals. A new shelter : is being built. I asked ., Carvalho about the current I capital fundraising ~campaign S" and what the new shelter will look like. 'i,, "We are N V,% planning a ROM modern but FROMS conservative THE facility, that PORCH will allow Lus to meet the growing Dickie needs of our Anderson community," she said. The new 11,000-square-foot shelter will include 42 indoor/outdoor dog kennels; outdoor dog runs; a separate building for animal intake; an open cattery; space dedicated for adoption counseling; mod- ern lab area; and administra- tive space for volunteers and staff. "We have raised $1 mil- lion towards our $2 million goal," said Carvalho. "We need to secure $350,000 in donations by September so we can break ground this fall, and be operating by next summer. We really need our animal lov- ing community to respond." Abigail Thomas, the shel- ter's lab tech, introduced me to the latest intake of kittens. 'IThere was a group of kittens in a variety of colors that had been rescued in Callahan. Evidently a man was standing by a i-oad and giving them away. The little balls of fur tum- bled over one another playing in their cage while they waited for their tests and treatifients. Furry paws poked through the cages, wanting to play. We went outside where the dlogs awaited their visitors. Molly, Hazel, Itty Bitty and Buttons rushed to the front of Their cages to greet us many with full body wags. One dog, 'Precious, is a kennel favorite. Her story is about the dedica- tion of staff and volunteers and a dlog who needed a chance. She is a big orange puff ball. A little or a lot of Chow Chow. Her bright, alert face pulls you in. Thomas remembers the day that they brought Precious in. Her eyes were crusted shut, her breasts were swollen with milk nearly touching the ground and her fur was filthy and matted. She was terrified when anyone approached her. It was clear she had not had a good life. Thomas tried everything to get Precious out of her cage. Finally, she would accept a leash and could go outside. She was still tentative about anything new and wanted to be back in the security of her cage. One day a sheet of metal that served as the door to her kennel broke and came down on her foot. A bad cut opened up and blood was everywhere. "She let me clean her up but was very quiet. It broke my heart. I made her a corn- fortable bed and filled it with treats, toys and blankets,"' Thomas shared. Oddly enough that was a breakthrough for this dog that had been through so much. Precious responded to the lov- Nassau Humane Society lab tech Abigail Thomas with Precious the Chow Chow. SUBMITTED ing attention. Precious is ready for a forever home - she has been treated and helped by the vets and has been tenderly cared for.

It is bean season for the farmers' market in downtown ' Fernandina Beach. Produce vendors Kings Kountry Kitchen'and Boatright Farms say "beans are in season." The choices are wide including Ford hooks, white butter, white acre, black eyed, pink eyed and green lima beans, to name a few. Legumes are rich in vita- mins, minerals and fiber, as well as magnesium, iron and potassium. They have even been shown to help lower cho- lestei-r61 and blood pressure to help you have a healthy heart, so the nursery rhyme was right after all. As it turns out, the other part of the nursery rhyme is also true for those sensitive to fiber in legumes, or those suffering with irrita- ble bowel syndrome., A true farmers' market, the Fernandina Beach Market Place hosts a street full of local vendo-rs carrying fresh produce, seasonable fruits, hand-crafted soaps and can- , dles, fresh baked breads and much, much more. Local's favorite, Great Harvest Bread Company, is offering a unique Rocky Road bread for June. Caramel, pecans and chocolate are driz- zled throughout this sweet ' loaf that has become a favorite slice for breakfast in local kitchens.
