That will require removal of about half the trees on the site next to The Colony condominium community for construction of a one-story, 7,600- square-foot building and adjoining parking lot. Gov. Rick Scott announced Thursday that dtw Marketing Research Group, Inc., a marketing research company specializing in pharmaceuticals and based in New Jersey, would relocate its corporate headquarters to Amelia Island. SThe Nassau County Planning & Zoning Board approved plans for the office building earlier this month despite concerns raised by south end residents who mobilized this year to oppose destruction of trees for expan- sion of a convenience store nearby on First Coast Highway. The Nassau County Commission adopted a revised tree law in late April in response to the outcry from island residents angered by the legal clear- ing of about 30 live oak trees at First H Coast Highway and South Fletcher ,-. Avenue. The new S.,'* Flash Foods, includ- i ing'a Subway sand- "- which shop, presum- ably would benefit from the increased traffic generated by Scott workers in the new ----- ~office building. The new office building is to be built under the new regulations, and will preserve about 54 percent of the trees on the prop- erty.. The dtw relocation will result in 40 newjobs and $2.1 million in total cap- ital investment over the next two years, the governor said in a press release. Construction of the new office, which will be completed in December, will provide local con- struction employment as well. The press release from the gov- ernor's office included this Scott quote: "The jobs being created by dtw Marketing Research Group will provide great opportunities for Florida families. We are continuing to reduce burdensome regulations and restrictions, and will not stop until Florida has the best business climate in the nation. With more and more companies relocating their corporate headquarters to Florida, we can see - it's working." The governor's office issues numerous such press releases each day, announcing business relocations or openings around the state and emphasizing job creation, a major objective for Scott, who is expected to seek reelection next year. The press release said dtw would hire a range of positions including managerial, sales management and information technology, along with hourly flex-time positions. Hiring for the new positions is expected in the early fall. "We spent much of 2012 investi- gating new corporate locations," said Pamela Statile, president of dtw Marketing Research Group, in the press release. "We were looking for business-friendly states to move to, unlike that atmosphere in the Northeast. With a combination of the lifestyle here in Nassau County, the tax-friendly environment and the rea- sonable cost of living, the choice became a simple one." Nassau County has touted itself as being "open for business," reduc- ing taxes and offering regulatory JOBS Continued on 5A Fire tax: $217 per residence News-Leader Nassau County Commissioners will vote in September.on whether to impose a $217 per home fire tax on res- idents living in unincorporated areas of the county. The tax is intended to raise millions of dollars to help plug a hole in the county budget for fiscal 201-3-14, which begins Oct. 1. , Commissioners voted unanimous- ly Monday at a special hearing to pro- ceed with the tax, subject to future budget deliberations, including a pub- lic hearing Sept. 9. The fire tax would be included as a separate line item on each property tax bill. Homeowners, whether mobile homes .or mansions, would pay the same $217 rate. Commercial properties would pay about 16 cents per square foot, while induStrial/warehouse facilities would pay about 6 cents a square foot. Owners of 20 acres of undeveloped land or less would pay.about $94 per parcel while owners of 21 or more acres would be assessed about 76 cents per acre. The town of Callahan would pay $220,570 for its residents and the town of Hilliard $347,241 for its residents. Residents and buildings inside the city of Fernandina Beach would be exempted because it has its own fire department, paid for by city taxes. Estimated net revenue would be about $8.1 million, about two-thirds of that needed to balance the county budget. Hardship exemptions will be avail- able, and governments, churches, hos- pitals and other exempt institutions won't have to pay the tax. The plan was developed 'by Government Services Group Inc., of FIRE Continued on 3A 'This isn't the way we should work things out, particularly in Nassau County.' JUDGE ROBERT FOSTER Ira " 114,< Kiri'** I am disappointed thatihave-been compelled to respond to personal '- ; J accusations.' CLERK OF COURT JOHN CRAWFORD Judge, clerk in legal MICHAEL PARNELL News-Leader Nassau County Judge Robert Foster and Clerk of Court/Comptroller John Crawford are at odds over how to pay for certain local court expenses, and the spat has landed in court. Foster accused Crawford of reneg- ing on an agreement to abide by a judi- cial administrative order and pay expenses requested by the local court. Crawford denied that. In lieu of being held in contempt of court, Crawford complied with but then appealed ajudicial administrative order to the First District Court of Appeals, contending that the request- ed payment was not permissible under state law. "We're unable to deal with Mr. Crawford because we cannot count on him," Foster told Nassau County Commissioners last week. Crawford, the judge said, "backed off his word: ... Keeping one's word could have resolved this months ago." Commissioners voted unanimous- ly to file an amicus curiae, or friend of the court, brief backing the judge in the dispute with Crawford.. Commissioners and Crawford often angle on what are appropriate expenses. Crawford took offense at the com- mission's action and the judge's com- ments. "I am disappointed that I have been compelled to respond to person- al accusations...," he wrote in a letter Thursday to the commissioners. The clerk said the commission acted "without giving notice to me or flap the public by including the item on a properly noticed and advertised board agenda." The topic was not listed on the agenda sent out before the June 19 meeting, and Crawford was not present when Foster made his remarks. The substance of the dispute, Crawford wrote, is "a. chief judge's authority to order a county to use coun- ty funds to pay an obligation that is payable from already appropriated state funds." As a constitutional officer and thus "auditor and custodian of all county funds," Crawford wrote, he takes his "role very seriously as watchdog of county funds...." The case in the appeal involves a $4,775 payment to a court-appointed mediator in a divorce case. But it began in January when the court requested use of a county fund to payjudges who were temporarily hearing cases after the death of former County Judge Granville "Doc" Burgess. Crawford said he declined because the Florida C, n-ri-iii .ii, requires that judges be paid from state funds. Crawford met with Foster, Chief Circuit Court Judge Donald Moran, County Attorney David Hallman and commission Chair Danny Leeper on Feb. 4, and again with the judges and Hallman on Feb. 12. Foster told commissioners he thought the matter had been resolved after those meetings.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26,2013 NEWS News-Leader Voters to decide on commissioner terms ANGEI.A DAUGHTRY News Leader Voters will make t he final decision, but city commission- ers have given approval for an item on -the city ballot that would amend the city charter to increase commission terms from three to four years. Commissioners also approved a change in the char- ter that would allow for &ity elec- tions every two years, to coin- cide with federal, state and county elections. Because these are changes to the charter; the question will - be put on the Nov. 5 ballot for city voters to decide. Commissioner Arlene Filkoff voted against the changes, saying she had hoped the ordinance could have been implemented without increas- ing the terms of current com- missioners. Filkoff later clarified her pub- lic remark in an email, saying, "I agree in principle with four-year terms; I would like that issue voted on without being encum- bered by any other decision." The reasoning behind the election date changes is to save the city between $11,000 and FIRE Continued from 1A Tallahassee, a county cbnsu ant, and explained to the boar Monday. Commission Chair Dann Leeper, a former city fire chki endorsed the plan as the fair and best way to raise moneyI pay for county sei:vices. A fire tax, rather than a increase in the property ta rate, "broadens (the) taix bas of those paying for fire prote tion services," the consultant reported: Also, they state "Property value bears no rel tionship to the provision of Clinch Drive topic of hearing A public hearing is sche uled at 6 p.m. Monday Nassau County Commissic Chambers, James S.

It has been proposed th Clinch Drive be improved the future to create an alter tive route for AlA/Eigh Street leading into Fernandi Beach. 1t- 7d ny ef, ;st to an ax se 2c- its Up to voters A referendum question on the Nov. 5 ballot for 'city voters will read: "Should the City Charter be amended to provide that city commissioners shall serve four year terms instead of three year terms and city elections held every two years in con- junction with county, state and federal elections?" $15,000 in annual election costs.* Right now, the city holds elec- tions every year, and with elec- tions changing to every two years, it can share costs with the county. City commissioners are. elected by group, and with this new change Groups 1, 2 and 3 would have three-year terms until the next election cycle, with fur-year terms beginning in 201-6. If approved by voters, the change would result in Commissioners Pat Gass and Ed Boner (Groups 4 and 5) hav- ing extended terms by one year. But local resident Lynn Williams said the changes in elections would result in. an unbalanced city commission. Because three commission- ers would be elected at the same time every four years, demand for fire services." Commissioners have agreed at previous meetings that after years of holding the line on tax increases and cutting county services, the balance'has shift- ed to a need to add revenues in lieu of further cuts. Additional tax or fee increases are. still needed to account for a pro- jected $9 to $12 million gap between county income and expenses in the next fiscal year. A fire tax was one of the sug- Williams said, it would mean electors would be voting for a majority. "What happens is you wind up with three commissioners being elected as a group," Williams said. "A two-person team has no power." "If you elect three as a team, they can do some wonderful things, but some things that are not so wonderful," Williams said.

But, the judge told com- missioners, he subsequently learned of Crawford's intent not to comply. "At no time did Mr. Crawford extend to us the pro- fessional courtesy of telling us he had changed his mind," Foster said. "This is an enormous waste of time," the judge told com- missioners. "I'm embarrassed to be here. This isn't the way we should work things out, par- ticularly in Nassau County." Hallman backed the judge's account. 'The clerk unequivo- cally said he would comply with the order," he told the com- missioners. Crawford dissents from their take on the matter. He said his agreement at the Feb. 4 meeting did not involve pay- ing judges or a mediator. He said the judges and Hallman arrived "unannounced" on Feb. 12 and met with him without his counsel or chief of staff present. Crawford also said he subsequently learned that the chief judge had been informed on Feb. 1 by the Office of the State Courts Administrator that the clerk's position on paying judges was legally valid, which they did not disclose to him. "It is axiomatic that an agreement does not exist where a party fails to disclose information . where it has an obligation to do so," Crawford wrote. He also noted he could make no agreements that violate the law. Also, Crawford wrote, he did advise Foster of his position subse- quently. The dispute reached an impasse when the coprt Certified Firearms Instructor, Cathy Mulcahy of SafeShot Firearm Instruction, is offering introductory pistol orien- tation, and concealed carry courses.

Commissioners voted to file a friend of the court brief backing the judge in the dispute. requested $-4,775 for payment to a mediator, Janet Carver, in a divorce proceeding. Crawford declined to pay the invoice, again saying it was an inappro- priate expenditure from a coun- ty account. On May 13, Moran ordered payment. In the administrative order, Moran contends that mediation expenses are an expressly approved use for the county fund. In response, Crawford wrote and asked Moran if he would be held in contempt 6of court if he did not pay the invoice. On June 6, Moran's reply suggested he could be, and Crawford paid it. The clerk sub- sequently hired a law firm and appealed the administrative order. In his appeal, Crawford said Moran usurped his authority with the administrative order and asserted thai the clerk of court, a constitutional officer, has authority to reject it under state law. "In the constitutional role of clerk of the board of county commissioners, auditor, recorder and custodian of coun- ty funds including responsibil- ity to oversee the expenditure of such funds the clerk of court acts independently of the judi- ciary," Crawford's appeal states. .Moran's order "effectively makes way for a dangerous loophole in a clerk of court's function as custodian, account- ant and 'watchdog' of county funds," Crawford's appeal con- tends. The fund in question, which has about $140,000 in it, accord- ing to Foster, is used primarily to fund"reen Court, Legal Aid programs, a public law library, juvenile assessment centers and other juvenile alternative programs, according to Crawford's legal filing. : The law establishing the fund sets aside 25 percent of it for "innovations, as.determined by the chief judge of the cir- cuit, to supplement state fund- ing for the elements of the stite courts system." Crawford maintains triat payment to a mediator in a fim- ily law case is not such an "innovation" and should be paid out of state-funds allocated to the court rather than the coun- ty fund. Crawford said approved innovations include "pre-trial services, domestic violence coordinators, public guardian- ship for adults, drug court, mental health court" and-simi- lar services. "A chief judge's determiua- tion that an activity or progrlim is an 'innovation' does not auto- matically make it so," Crawford's appeal states. "In the matter at hand, there is nothing new, different ,or novel about mediation between private parties in a family law proceeding. Such type of medi- ation is already part of the state courts system and has an exist- ing source of funding fr6m state revenues," it concludes.

And reacts. 01 course, Bernanke is thle chairman of the Federal Reserve that watchdog of fiscal policy, the monitor of interest rates and the purvey- or of economic vitality. If it sounds like a lot of responsi- bility, it is. When Bernanke hinted -' that the Fed may soon take Sits foot off the gas pedal and 'stop driving money into the U.S. economy, the markets gasped. God forbid, the joy- ous inebriation from cheap and easy money could even- tually end. Why not just take the punch bowl from a frol- icking party? The Fed's main objective as the U.S. central bank is to dictate monetary policy. This 'correlates into the affordabil- ity and availability of money by guiding interest rates, as " well as the stability of the financial system. In addition, the Fed is charged with pursuing maxi- mum employment within the U.S. economy.

Bernanke's term ends in January, so he may have a shorter-term mentality than he had previously. If he is not reappointed, potential suc- cessors are Janet Yellen, Larry Summers and Tim Geithner. Many believe that the recovery in the U.S. econo- my since the recession of 2008-9 has been due to Bernanke's calming influ- ence and wise moves. Once the Fed had lowered its benchmark interest rate to as low as it would go, Bernanke then proceeded to buy bonds on the open market push- ing rates down further, into even negative territory. In this way,'mortgage rates tumbled along with other lending rates. Money became more attainable for individuals and businesses. lThe premise is that people and companies would borrow at bargain-basement interest rates and then spend, circu- lating money through the economy. One of the detriments of ultra-low interest rates is that it robs savers of viable rates of return on their money. And many of today's retirees rely on the interest from their savings accounts (including certificates of deposit, money markets, treasuries, etc.) to help fund their lifestyles. This conundrum over low savings rates has driven some savers into the stock and bond markets as investors seeking higher yields. Consequently, as money has poured in, some dividend-paying stocks,and interest-bearing bonds became irrationally priced above their true value. And a real phenomenon is developing in the fixed- income arena. It is another fallout from the easy-money policies of the Fed.

Bernanke is getting blamed for the recent turbu- lence in the stock and bond markets. It's as if he unneces- sarily opened his mouth, essentially showing the Fed's hand and its new direc- tion.

However, while agreements are important, the final deci- sion as to whether the.situa- in s ail ev%%il/wins may not have been written. Anyone who has spent years in business realizes that reaching win/.win agreements where objectives conflict is ] very tough. V. In union negotiations, "r" l where strikes are extremely painful to both sides, agreements are reached COACH'S at the dead- CORNER line, but 'many times they are any- Howard thing but Pines win/win. Usually the party who can least afford a strike capitulates and lives to fight another day. At-Standard Brands we had a Planters Peanuts opera- tion in San Francisco, where the union refused to realize that company needed to make profits to survive. After years of trying, we decided the situ- ation was not fixable. So we developed an alternate strate- gy to get rid of the problem by relocating the operation to a union free environment in Fort Smith, Ark. This reduced our costs by more than 50 percent. Clearly it was a win for us but a loss for the San Francisco employ- ees. A different example involves our Jacksonville Jaguars. Their star running back, Maurice Jones Drew, decided he Was undervalued and pressed to renegotiate his contract. The new owner refused and since he had the leverage of an existing con- tract, instead of trading Jones- Drew, forced him to comply. Unlike the Planters Peanuts case, the owner now has a . disgruntled player, who has not performed since, and may no longer be tradable.

What you should remem- ber though, if you will be working with the same par- ties in the future, is that how you handle the discussions may prove to be as important as getting an initial agree- ment. The key to win/win is not always getting the present. deal, but developing a trust- ing relationship and respect for the other party's abilities. I When I co-founded BeamPines, the key to our success was developing Fortune 100 clients. I approached one head of HR and was encouraged when he began discussing their hiring of a new resident. We had . lunch and a few times he praised'my insights. I decided to suggest that he give us the search. "Not a chance," he replied. "At that level, I only use top search firms, as I am not going to be second guessed by my CEO or the board." Obviously disappoint- ed, I lost my enthusiasm for the meeting. However, when we parted, he again praised my insights and suggested we stay in touch. Was I just being used? I decided the head of HR came across as a capable straight- shooter and the upside was worth a continued effort. I kept in front of him for anoth- er year providing information and support. Finally, one day he advised me that the new president needed a coach and wanted to meet. It turned out to be a great introduction that he would not have made if he didn't trust me and respect my abilities. The company became one of BeamPines' best coaching clients and 10 years later, when the head of HR moved on to a new Fortune 100 company, we had two excellent clients. So while I didn't get an agreement at the first i .-, iii-.. it still proved to be a win/win. Another problem is, where the objectives are similar but the parties' approaches to reach these objectives are incompatible. While both President Obama and President Putin want peace in Syria, the differences in how they want peace to come about make any agreement virtually impossible. On the other hand, immigration is a different type of issue. Most of the Republicans, the Democrats and President Obama want a solution to the immigration problem and all are in favor of develop- ing a path to citizenship. Still, the Republicans want to ensure that, unlike what hap- pened after Reagan's immi- gration deal, illegal immi- grants don't keep coming - here, and therefore want to deal with border security first. The Democrats and President Obama want to focus first and foremost ot the path to citizenship and are not as interested in border security. Since there is no red line principle involved, if the key negotiators in their meet- ings can develop some trust and respect, they should actu- ally be able to come up with a compromise and a win/winll solution.

Brigadier-General Horatio G. Wright (1820-1899), an 1841 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., was an accom- plished career U.S. Army engineer but, through his modesty and disdain for the limelight, a man AT of little renown. PART He was an hon- ONE ored Civil War battlefield leader .... for the Union forces in the Eastern cam- paigns and was the command- ing officer at Fort Clinch in 1862. A visit today to the Amelia Island Museum of History finds his portrait on display in the Civil War exhib- it room but little else to con- vey his story. Research sheds new light on his mostly forgot- ten sa4ga. Horatio Gouverneur Wright was born March 6, 1820, in the village of Clinton, Conn., on the shores of Long Island Sound. He was the mid- dle of three sons of Edward and Nancy Wright. In the world in which he arrived the Federal Census of 1820 regis- tered almost 10 million American citizens, including 1.5 million slaves, those count- ed as "3/5 persons." That, of course, was the constitutional math conceived in the 1780s ostensibly to maintain balance in the halls of Congress. The 13 original States became 15 - Kentucky split from Virginia and Vermont was carved from New York and then 22 states by 1819, as the Ohio Valley and the Gulf Coast filled with migrating Americans looking for fresh starts and cheap real estate, aka land grabs from displaced locals (another story for another time). Missouri, claiming slavery, clamored for statehood (1821); Maine, a free state spun from Massachusetts, entered the Union the year prior under the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821; after Gen. Andrew Jackson, William P Duval was the first civilian ter- ritorial governor, 1822-34. In 1823 President James Monroe issued his Doctrine advising Europe against any new for- ays into the Americas. Edward Wright would have read all about it in his local press. Horatio Wright attended primary schools in his home- town and his college prep years were spent at the renowned military academy Norwich University in Vermont where he graduated at age 17 in 1837. He was appointed to West Point fri-om Connecticut in July of 1837, during the administration of Martin Van Buren, our eighth president (1837-1841), who, incidentally, was the nation's first minority chief executive since Dutch was his primary language. This was a good time for Wright to begin study on the banks of the ILordly Hudson given the Panic of 1837 caused by banldking poli- tics, and the subsequent sev- eral-year recession. The four- year curriculum included engineering sciences, lan- guages and law and military studies, infantry, artilleryand cavalry tactics, and ordnance and gunnery. Cadet Wright graduated July 1, 1841, ranked second of 52 classmates, and was assigned Cullum #1060 (Maj. Gen. George W.

CITY OF FERNANDINA BEACH 204 ASH STREET FERNANDINA BEACH, FL 32034 In the autumn Wright commanded the Federal capture ofHilton Head, S.C, which became headquarters of the Union forces' Department of the South. back to #1 in 1802). Since the top West Point graduates are typically assigned as engi- neers (the second tier as artillerymen, third as infantry, and so forth), Wright was commissioned a 2nd lieu- tenant, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Our 10th president John Tyler (1841- 45) occupied the executive mansion those days, mar- shalling the nation through an uneasy peace as packed wagon trains rumbled steadily westward through hostile Indian territory and Yankee Clippers carried even more courageous Americans around the storm-tossed Horn. In 1842 Lt. Wright met and married ILouisa M. Bradford of Culpepper, Va. They were blessed with three healthy children, Edward, Mollie and Rosa. Events of those antebel- lum years saw the nation's population increase from 13 million in 1830 to 31 million by 1860; the legal slave count doubled from two to four mil- lion. From 1836-1848, six new states joined the Union, three free and three slave including Florida. Wright's early career track included assignment as an Assistant to the Board of Engineers from 1841-46, with an interim stretch as instruc- tor at West Point from 1842- 44. In 1845 the year Florida achieved statehood with William D. Moseley the first state governor he was a member of the Military Tour of Inspection of the Department of War to survey the future sites of Fort Taylor in Key West and Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas west of the tip of Florida (later the prison of Lincoln conspira- tor Dr. Samuel Mudd). From 1846-56 Wright was the Superintending Engineer in the construction of Ft. Jefferson and the improve- ment of the seawall at St. Augustine. President James Come out Summer Enjoy Ot Summer K. Polk held office from 1845- 49, and the Mexican War (1846-48) was his political hot potato. Wright was not active- ly involved in that campaign, which was the first time the Stars and Stripes was raised over a foreign nation in a time of war. He was promoted to first lieutenant, USACE, in 1848 and to captain in 1855. In the 1850s three new states added stars to Old Glory all slave-free, thus skewing Congress to the North -including California in 1850, Minnesota in 1858 and Oregon in 1859. Their abun- dance of wealth, precious met- als, timber and livestock only added to the federal economy and coffers, and to Southern angst. In November 1860 Abraham Lincoln, a politically deft abolitionist from Illinois, was elected president by nar- row electoral and popular vote, which pushed South Carolina to secede from the United States just before Christmas. A few weeks later, after years of bloodletting between strident abolitionists and slaveholders, Kansas Territory also gained state- hood, yet another free state. Florida seceded on January 10, 1861, and 11 states soon declared individual sovereign- ty, yet paradoxically strove to band together in the Confederate States of America. On April 12-13, the unthinkable occurred as rebels fired upon U.S. troops at Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor. The telegraph chat- tered the chilling news from Portland, Maine to Portland, Ore. Virginia joined the CSA on the 17th, and begged the question: Were there 11, or 13, or even 15 states in the Confederacy? Slave states Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri did not secede yet martial law was declared in Delaware and Maryland.

Missouri quickly came under Union control as departments of the Army, while the rebel state government of Kentucky moved to Arkansas. (O)n the other hand, some Southern counties in Alabama, Missis- sippi and Florida were not at all interested in secession. The great challenge for the new president was to save the Union, and with diplomacy having failed, his only solution would be through the Union Army and Navy and his General-in-Chief of all U.S. forces since 1841, General Winfield Scott. But Scott was an aging veteran of the War of 1812, and after drafting an embargo plan for Southern ports in April 1861, he was relieved by Lincoln with com- mand given to George McClellan in October. With the onset of war, the Virginia Militia's objectives in Hampton Roads were control of Fortress Monroe but that was unattainable since it was easily defensible by the Union - and Gosport Navy Yard at Norfolk, which was surround- ed and ordered to surrender. Enter Union Captain Horatio G. Wriight. USA Corps of Engineers. U.S. Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles saw the need to defend the port and the ships there but the commanding officer dithered and the rebels began torching the facilities. Capt. Wright and the Third Massachusetts Volunteers from Monroe were ordered to salvage what they could, but arrived too late and could only complete the dem- olitions to keep what remained out of rebel hands. In August of 1861, Wright was promoted to major and was also brevetted (temporarily promoted) to brigadier-gener- al, U.S. Volunteers in' : September. In the autumn he commanded the Federal cap- ture of Hilton Head, S.C., which became headquarters '; of the Union forces' Department of the South.

The guest speaker for the monthly meeting will be Aaron Bell, owner of Science First and current chair of the Nassau County Economic Development Board. He serves as a board member for the Amelia Island-Fernandina Beach-Yulee Chamber of Commerce and treasurer for the Nassau County Republi- can Executive Committee. The social will be held at 6 p.m. and the business meeting will be held from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Nassau County Young Republican meetings are open to any interested Republican. Family members and children are always welcome. To RSVP attendance or receive information regarding the Nassau County Young Republicans, contact Justin Taylor at jmtaylor082@yahoo. *corn or (904) 226-6207. Summer backpack drive The Federated Republican Women of Nassau County will not meet in July or August. In lieu of the summer meetings, FRWN asks members and any other Republicans within the community to assist in a "Savor the Summer Backpack Drive" for needy children attending school in Nassau County It will cost nearly $40 to purchase and "stuff' each backpack. Donations can be sent to: FRWN, PO. Box 1338, Fernandina Beach, FL 32035. Last school year there were 344 homeless students in Nassau County. The home- less program was only able to provide 220 backpacks for children entering or returning to school. Having a backpack with the necessary supplies to begin the next school year will help them in achieving their education and propel them forward.

That senti- mnent was the result of the county commis- sion's hearing about al! the wonderful things that are bound to happen once 4,200 acres of ' Rayonier timberland are developed and put to their "best use." For the developer all the quiet lobbying had paid off; the wildly optimistic projections had been spun the anticipated property tax revenue, the anticipated job cre- ation, the economic spin-offs and anything and everything else positive. Developers know what elected officials want to hear and they've developed an intoxi- cating melody they play over and over. They play it because it works, no matter the elected body, no matter the location; the familiar tune of taxes, jobs and economic benefits. So, the euphoria and downright giddiness on display at recent county commission work- shops was predictable, unfortunately for Nassau county taxpayers so was the vague- ness concerning exactly how all the infrastruc- ture necessary to the project would be paid for and who would pay for it. Remember this number -$134 million, that's the projected cost of the project's infra- structure roads, bridges, etc. That number will change, of course upward; those are 2013 dollars and most of the infrastructure will still be on the drawing boards years from now. Also, factor in a 20 percent contingency and we start talking about real money: Who pays for it? Well, if Nassau County had impact fees those costs would be the responsi- bility of the developer, but the county doesn't have impact fees so a little fiscal creativity is needed. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26,2013 OPINION News-Leader for county f Developers know that elected officials don't want to hear that the people con- i Sstituents; voters will have to foot the bill so the aforemen- tioned intoxicating melody, the siren's song includes 1 much language aimed at i diversion; smoke and mir- D BrATE rors. At public hearings an DE ATE exchange might go some- AND thing like this i TACIKLE Elected official: "Wow, $134 million, who's going to' 1 ... pay for this?" Ron Sapp Developer: "The project', going to foot the bill, com- missioner, the project itself." Elected official: "How does that work?" Developer: "Well, you'll have to set up a 'mobility fee' and TIF (tax increment financ- ing).Elected official: "So the people (my con- stituents, the people that vote for me) won't have to pay for any of the $134 million?" Developer: "That's right, we pay for every- thing." Some questions leap to the fore of a curious mind, consider: What's a mobility fee? I mean, does a busi- ness have to pay the county if it moves? /" Exactly how does tax increment financ- ing work with this project. Normally, current property tax value for the 4,200 acres (the entire project will encompass some 23,000 acres, most, if not all of it designated greenbelt and generates very little tax revenue) will be established as a base and any additional rev- enue generated by the project has to be spent s future? within that project area. How will all of the growth impact existing infrastructure, particularly the failed A1A cor- ridor? I'm not sure how many more traffic sig- nals can be installed on that nightmare of a roadway, so impacts on existing infrastructure have to be considered. And this is the most important question: the nobody-knows-what-it-is mobility fee and the tax increment financing won't generate any' revenue until the project is under way, yet infrastructure is necessary immediately. So, will the county issue general obligation bonds to fund the infrastructure, or will revenue bonds (to be paid for by revenue generated by. the project) be necessary? Somebody has to :ome up with the initial dollars to build infra- structure, Nassau County taxpayers should be" very watchful and, history says, very much afraid. "The future of Nassau County is here." County commissioners have the developer's CD and they play it over and over, that intoxicating melody increased tax revenue, more jobs, increased economic activity. For me, it is all reminiscent of the river scene in the movie, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou," when the three men are mesmerized by the sirens the commissioners appear just that befuddled. Nassau County taxpayers just have to make sure that future doesn't include paying for infrastructure that should be paid for by devel-, opers. That's what impact fees are for. Oh wait, Nassau County doesn't have impact fees. We might have a mobility fee, though whatever that is. Ron Sapp is a former city commissioner; VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Crane Island What is going on on Crane Island? If you search Google Earth, you see the total denuding of the north end of the island. There is a crane dredging a lake. You can see it when you cross over the bridge; they have made no attempt to hide it. There ar'e now close to 150 trucks a day (my estimate) which bring dumping material to the island. They are driving too fast over the bridge and along the first part of Amelia Island Parkway and up into Bailey Road where our children play soccer. Then there is a road that goes to Crane Island. This appears to be an environmental disaster in the making. What is going on? Christine and Paul Meehan Amelia Island Editor's note: The north part of Crane Island is a spoils dumping site for the Florida Inland Navigation District. Gentleman and scholar *The passing of Hal Belcher brings back a lot of fond memories of the 25 years I worked for and with him. This spanned the period from 1959-1984. I've always considered myself a better person to have known him. Hal wore many hats during his 65 years in Fernandina. Some of these were forester, botanist, horticulturist, land surveyor, historian, Scout mentor and genealogist, just to name a few. He was a perfectionist, and it was a joy working for him. When he d(lid something, you could bet it would be done right. In 1959, Rayonier established their Technical Control Department to inventory and map their 920,000 acres of land in Florida and Georgia. Hal was chief forester and in charge of this operation. 'Myself and five other woods-runners worked for him. This was before the age of computer. We gathered the information by busting through the Ti-Ti bushes and smilax vines, wading water up to our waist and collecting mosquito and yellowfly bytes data. Hal was good to work with because he knew the subject and would take whatever time it took to make sure you also knew it. I always enjoyed one remark he made quite often. If you questioned something about the sys- tem, he would comment, "Maybe it's. cockpit problems," which it usually was. In his spare time, he spent a lot of time grafting and propagating camel- lias and other flowers. As I have grown roses for 50 years, we had a lot in com- mon. He spent a lot of time on the plot. map of the original section of the his- toric Bosque Bello Cemetery. He was also very active in other community projects, such as preserv- ing he lighthouse and Fort Clinch. He hasn't received due merit for all of his civic deeds. He should have been receiving credit for those good deeds while he was living and able to appre- ciate them. Reminds me of the open- ing lines of an old poem, "I would rather have one little rose from the garden of a friend than to have the choicest flowers when my stay on earth must end." I've always contended that older local citizens of Hal's stature should be featured in a write-up in the local news- paper. Maybe one each month. Let them know they are appreciated. Some individuals who readily come to mind are Jim Thomas, Mary Libby, Melba Shriver, Willie Mae Ashley and Beano Roberts. Stanley Bunch Fernandina Beach Guarding our rights I believe more than ever that we need to guard our constitutional rights including the right to privacy. In a sense, privacy is the right to be free from unwarranted intrusion into your personal space, beliefs and effects. As a society, we have started down the slippery slope of giving up too much of our privacy. It was in my lifetime that credit bureaus were given a right to share your information and to be exempt from many defamation lawsuits unless you could prove malice. Still .later, we lost our anonymity when our Social Security number was tied to all of otur personal identifying information. With inexpensive computer storage and the massive amounts of both public and private data: it became increasingly difficult to stay off the gricd With the advent of social media and the social and, business need to stay connected with others, privacy seems to be old fashioned. We, as a society, have sometimes made choices to have less privacy in order to have more con- nectivity. I have little problem with people making choices as to their own privacy. What troubles me and some com- mentators is where we have not always been consulted in the loss of our pri- vacy. Our founding fathers ensured we have a Fourth Amendment right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures but what has this been' interpreted to mean? Unfortunately, the real world has a lot of gray areas and some information citizens deem private is not deemed private by public or private entities. We have all seen the Microsoft com- mercials which criticize Google for analyzing your Gmail (without human intervention we are told) in order to give advertisers a better bang for their buck. Is this what you had in mind when you signed up for your Gmail account? Full disclosure I am send- ing this article in using my Gmail account. If you are one of the millions who use free email that is stored in the cloud, did you know that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) believes it can read your emails without obtaining a search warrant? Before we start complaining loud- ly that this is another example of how things have changed, you should know that this is allowed by a 1986 law called the Electronic Communications Privacy Act which, we are told, was primarily designed to prevent unau- thorized government access to private electronic communications. It allows law enforcement, without a warrant, to read e-mails that are stored for more than 180 delays. Yes, the IRS can read your email without a warrant. The very same IRS that has apparently decided to give extra scrutiny to groups with the word "patriot" in them who were seeking nonprofit status. The latest uproar is about the National Security Agency (NSA) being able to gather and store records of who you called in order to evaluate these records in the future should the need arise. What I have not seen men- tioned is that the government has long had a right to gain access to who you call without a warrant. For proof, Google the 1979 Supreme Court case of Smith v. Maryland where the jus- CKMCKEE/HEAUGUSA (GA) CHRONICLE RICK MCKEE/THE AGSA C 'rA CAHRONICLE tices ruled that you had no reason- able expectation of privacy reasoning. This claim must be rejected. First, we doubt that people in general enter- tain any actual expectation of privacy in the numbers they dial. All telephone users realize that they must "convey" Rhone numbers to the telephone com- pany, since 'it is through telephone company switching equipment that their calls are completed. All sub- scribers realize, moreover, that the phone company has facilities for mak- ing permanent records of the num- bers they dial, for they see a list of their long-distance (toll) calls on their monthly bills. In fact, pen registers and similar devices are routinely used by telephone companies "for the pur- poses of checking billing operations, detecting fraud and preventing viola- tions of law." The media has said that the name of the program where the NSA col- lects the phone record "metadata" is P-ism. Theoretically, it lets the powers investigating terrorism and other crimes to gain a warrant to searclh these records when there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. Unfortunately, we cannot know for sure because even the orders allowing them to do this are.secret. We cannot even be sure a warrant is required. We are in a dangerous world where weapons of mass destruction are becoming more and more available to those that would harm us and there is less room for error. We have asked for the government to bring the war to the terrorists instead of letting the war come to us. We have allowed incre- mental invasions of our rights in the name of being safe and secure. Unfortunately, we just do not know how many rights we have given up to do so. If King George III had these powers, how many think that we would be an independent country? Yet, as the New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has commented, if we do not yield some privacy, how long can we stay relatively safe and relatively free instead of the pendulum swinging to such an extent that we are safe but have very few freedoms to speak about? I believe that citizens need to become involved in these issues. We are not limited to our constitutional rights. Some of these gray areas could be addressed by legislation that says the IRS cannot dig into your personal email without a warrant. We should, as a society, be involved in these choices whenever possible. For example, should we amend the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and other laws to require disclosure of these warrants or intrusions as a rule except in the most exceptional cases. Privacy is old fashioned but so were our country's founders. They are not here to protect us anymore. It is time for you to be on guard duty when it comes to your constitutional rights. Steven M. Fahlgren Attorney at law Hilliard Church and state I fail to see how anyone, contem- plating the situation in the Middle East and regardless of religious or philo- sophical persuasion, can fail to appre- ciate and embrace enthusiastically the necessity for a policy of the strictest separation of church and state. Niall Shanks in his God, the Devil, and Darwin (page 233), puts it anoth- er way: "I can think of no better prac- tical reason for separation of church and state than the existence of this mixed moral bag, consisting of the good, the bad and the ugly, and all claiming to speak for God." Bill Long Yulee Rubio s betrayal The U.S. Senate is currently debat- ing a new immigration bill that can have drastic effects on all U.S. citi- zens. We should be aware of our sen- ators' position, especially Sen. Marco Rubio, a leading supporter of the bill. When Sen. Rubio was a candidate his stand on immigration was unequiv- ocal no amnesty and border securi- ty as the first step for immigration reform. In the campaign he stated that if you grant amnesty, in any form, you will destroy any chance we will ever have of a legal immigration system that works here in America. With the sirens playing the chance of a presidential run, Sen. Rubio has joined the so called "Gang of Eight" that has introduLced to the full Senate what they refer to as "immigration reform." Some of the features of the Senate bill are: Only requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a plan to secure the borders in order to start amnesty for the estimated 11-12 mil- lion illegal immigrants in the U.S. Allows members of street gangs and criminals to receive amnesty. Essentially halts all deportations by allowing every intercepted illegal immigrant to apply for amnesty and prohibits their deportation until the application is judicially decided. Allows up to approximately 500,000 guest workers each year. This bill can only be described as insane considering the country's sit- uation. First, granting any legal sta- tus to illegal immigrants unfairly rewards law-breaking. Second we have about 20 million unemployed and underemployed American citizens. We don't need more people; we need more jobs. Third, the net lifetime cost of providing government services to those given amnesty has been calcu- lated to be $6.9 trillion. The majority of the people to be given amnesty are poorly educated and have low incomes. Only 50 percent of current, citizens pay income taxes and the amnesty people will generally not be paying income taxes. Our government is broke with annual deficits of $1 tril- lion and this bill would give more gov- ernment benefits to people who broke., our laws. This bill will riot solve the problem: of illegal immigration any more than: the 1986 law that gave amnesty to 3 million illegals with the promise of.' border security in the future. Amnesty - was granted; border security was never achieved and the problem has' now increased to 11 million illegal" immigrants. Sen. Rubio needs reminding of the: principles that he promised during his ? campaign. If he has been captured by:- the Beltway thinking, maybe he., shouldn't be a senator from Florida. - Norman Heubeck, Fernandina Beach:: Help the helpless As a frequent donor to the Humane Society, I want to express my sincerely appreciation to Dickie Anderson for" her much-needed News-Leader article- (June 19) which recognizes the fund-: raising campaign of the Humane: Society and the deplorable conditions- of our current shelter.

I get information from emails, from Facebook posts, from phone calls, from'chats with people I meet during my walks, from my own observations. All of this information, taken togeth- er, sometimes leads me to some theories. Right now, for instance, We're engaged in fighting a plague of rabbits in our back 5 yard. We've done everything we can think of to protect our raised bed veggie garden from these varmints. We've installed "rabbit proof fenc- ing two feet high along the open end of the garden, and put Milorganite fertilizer (organic, nontoxic, supposed- ly a rabbit deterrent) in the garden and along the fence where no veggies are involved we've spread "rabbit repel- lent" too. But all to no avail. Still the bean plants are day by day being chewed to Aft nothingness. WILD Some WAYS days we find new holes dug under Pat the solid S fence bor- Foster- Turley during our neighbors and we know the rabbits get in this way However many times we refill the holes, another one appears.And as far as that rabbit fencing goes, forget it. Once I saw a rabbit jumping through the square mesh holes near the top of the fence. Rabbit proof, right. Bah humbug. So now I've become a trap- per: Just as soon as I catch a rabbit in my Havahart trap in my bean garden and remove it far from the site, I rebate the trap. And, again, sometimes I catch another rabbit. So far Three rabbits have thusly been removed from my veggie gar- Sden, but I'm sure there's another one waiting to indulge and ready to be tempted by Fresh apple slices in the trap. But I've found out I'm not Alone in all this. Whenever I mention rabbits to others here in Fernandina Beach I hear the same news. This year there are plenty of rabbits PHOTOS BY PAT FOSTER-TURLEY/FOR THE NEWS-LEADER Rabbits, such as this one in a backyard planter, are invading vegetable gardens on the island. They can be live-trapped with Havahart traps little else is effective in deterring them. everywhere. Now, along another track many people attuned to nature hereabouts are also noting the scarcity of bobcats on Amelia Island. Up until a couple of years ago people were 'always sending me pho- tos of bobcats on our golf courses and on the Greenway and I've also seen them often enough at Fort Clinch State Park to get some good pho- tos. But this is no longer the case. I haven't seen a bobcat in a couple of years and many other naturalists report the same thing. The going theory is that a disease of some sort wiped out the island's bobcat population. I've even heard rumors that last year a very sick bobcat was found on one of our golf courses and offi- cials were brought in to remove.it. Very recently, though, at least two individual sightings of bobcats have been report- ed, and just maybe they are repopulating our island once again. Kathy Russell at the Atlantic Avenue Recreation Center is helping to monitor the bobcat situation. If you do see a bobcat anywhere on the island please help out by re-eportih'g'itW I'er' '., 2-':' ! 7350. _7 - And here's where the theo- ry comes in. Fewer bobcats. More rabbits. Simple. With the lack of predators feeding' on them on Am-nelia Island this is the "Year of the Rabbit" regardless of what Chinese horoscopes say But nature moves in cycles and if all goes well and more bobcats finally are born here again next year or the one after might very well be the "Year of the Bobcat" and rab- bits will once again take the backstage. Well, I don't know about you, but I can't wait for this to happen. Seeing wild preda- tors is always, an exciting mat- ter for me. I miss seeing bob- cats. And, growing beans and sweet pea flowers in my raised beds is usually fun for me too, as long as rabbits don't invade in droves. I know if I am just patient this natural balance will be restored again bobcats eat- ing bunnies and I will then have other natural affairs to worry about. If it isn't one thing, it's another. But I've got to say it sure keeps life inter- esting year after year. And new material for my columns keeps coming week after week after week. Never a dull moment in the natural order of things on Amelia Island, that's for sure. Pat 'Fiset:THrley is 'a zoolo- gist on Amelia Island.

IThe IHistoric IFernandirna Bnsin-ss * Association announced it has -raised $13,200 to pay for the July 4 fireworks at the down- Stown waterfront. According to Scott Moore, president of the association, ,only $399 was left after dona- tions from this year and funds cotulnt(led. Citing the poor economy and budget constraints, the city commission stopped financing the fireworks in 2012. Not want- ing to see the 60-year tradition end, the HFBA and Amelia Island-Fl-'ernandina Beach-Yulee Chamber of Commerce teamed iup) to raise the necessary funds with the support of other busi- ness groups and individuals an This year's fireworks display will be held at the downtown waterfront on Thursday, July 4 at approximately 9:30 p.m. According to city Fire Chief Jason Higginbotham, East Coast Pyrotechnics Inc. has been hired tp create the display, as it has done for the last five years.

Back to the drawing board City to advertise again to fill city clerk's job ANGELA DAUGI ITRY News L.eader With advice from Human Resources D)irector Robin Marley, city commissioners decided at a meeting Friday to put out another advertisement for a city clerk, with some .changes. SThe meeting was meant to ,,hammer oul a job description 'and minimum qualifications for ,the permanent city clerk posi- tion at City Hall. The search for a city clerk to replace Mary Mercer, who left in January for a job with ;the sheriff's office, has inex- plicably been a long and diffi- cult one for the commission- ers. Commissioners put out an advertisement for the position ..several months ago, but reject- _ed all 32 r-esumes because, they said, none of the applicants .had all the desired qualifica- ,tions. Commissioners then offered the job to Senior City Planner Jennifer Gooding in May, but she declined to accept it. After a brief discussion in ,.early June, Deputy City Clerk -Kim Briley, who has taken over ,the duties since January, was ,appointed as temporary city .-clerk. Briley had also put in her resume for the permanent posi- -tion. At the meeting Friday on city clerk requiremenIts, com- Stissionors tdisc.ussed making adjustments' to'the job descrip- Commissioners put out an advertisement for the position several months ago, but rejected all 32 resumes because, they said, none of the applicants had all the desired qualifications. tion sent out previously that apparently failed to attr-act the perfect candidate. f "Some applicants had clerk experience, but not city clerk experience," Mayor Sarah Pelican said of the last batch of applicants from around the country. "They were all under- qualified." Marley told commissioners that the job requirements tend to vary from city to city, and that applicants rarely meet every qualification in a job description. "You want them to come armed for stiuccess," Marley said. "We need to come to an agreement as to minimum requirements," Commissioner Arlene Filkoff said. She also noted several times that records and archives manage- ment are essential to the city clerk job and should be a requir-ement in the job descrip- tion. She said applicants should also have the qualities of matu- rity anld professionalism, because it. is a high-profile job. Commissioner Ed Boner said he would like to see "strong work ethic" empha- sized and that the new city clerk should understand that it was important to "stay until the job is dorfe." Marley said all those quali- ties could be evaluated during the interview process, and that later in the process the city could do a background check through Facebook, Google and credit checks. City Attorney Tammi Bach also noted applicants should understand they would have to attend evening meetings begin- ning at 6 p.m. Responding to a question about a requirement for knowl- edge of Microsoft Office Suite, Pelican noted "pretty much any- one who has this type of expe- rience (knows) Microsoft Office." Boner asked about typing ability for the job applicant. "I can type 100 words a minute, but I don't know how fast," he said. "You want to narrow it, but not so much that nobody gets through," Commissioner Pat Gass said. Marley also noted that no job description would stop unqualified people from apply- ing. "We have to sift through the ones we get," she said. The interview process should have certain guidelines, Marley said, and should include open-ended questions. "(The applicants) have to tell stories, and you'll know if they know what they're talking about," Marley said. She also noted that a salary range of $47,000 to $70,200 is "appro- priate" for a city clerk. Tempo- rary city clerk Briley makes $53,247, but has worked at City Hall since 2001 as both deputy city clerk and assistant to two city managers. Commissioners decided in the end to make several changes to the job description, to include a B.A. in public or business administration, pre- ferred; experience and knowl- edge of archives and records management, required, prefer- ably in the state of Florida; a strong work ethic; and the ability to attend evening meet- ings. Bach said she would look over the job description before posting it and that commissioners could approve it at their regular meeting Tuesday. City Manager Joe Gerrity suggested commissioners "try to work it out so we don't have to beat this horse again." adaughtuy(O/bnewsleadercom City commission debates role of advisory boards ANGELA DAUGI ITRY News Leader In a discussion on city advi- sory boards last week, Commissioner Arlene Filkoff said' she had concerns about the responsibility of the city vis a vis those boards and the potential for confusion as to the board members' expecta- tions, missions and goals. Filkoff, who served on sev- eral city boards before being elected commissioner, has regularly brought up the issue of the boards and their need for a more standardized process. Filkoff is also the only com- missioner to call a special meeting of an advisory board, which caused controversy because there was no allowance for such an action in the city charter. In April, Filkoff called a special meeting with the Golf Course Advisory Board because, she said, she had missed a discussion on golf course conditions at a previ- ous commission meeting when she had to leave early. At the meeting June 18 City Attorney Tammi Bach said there are three types of committees: standing, which are long-term and make rec- ommendations to the com- mission; ad-hoc, which have a specific mission and an end date, and fact-finding, which can be appointed by the city manager or commission. All committees that make recommendations to the com- mission are subject to the Sunshine Law, Bach said.,That law states that when two or more members of a public board discuss an issue on which future action may be taken, the discussion must be open to the public. "There are ways to make committees a valuable part of the process," Filkoff said. "If we don't see them as valuable, we shouldn't waste our time." She'added, "At the end of the day, (advisory boards are) accountable to the commis- Filkoff sion, but it's not practical to think they can come here every t i .m e . Filkoff sug- gested the 1) o a r d s "have a path to follow to get things addressed." "I would like to see a process on how we fill vacant positions," Commissioner Pat Gass said. She noted that it seemed as if anyone serving on a board was a "shoo-in" for reappointment. Filkoff said she had known of committees that "did tons and tons of work, but nothing ever came of it. ... That dampens any citizen's willingness or desire to get involved." Doug Bailey, chair of the Golf Course Advisory Board, said he felt the board's job was to direct golf management company Billy Casper Golf, but that the board "didn't get a lot of input" from City Manager Joe Gerrity. Bailey also admitted it was "a mistake" for the board to begin meeting every other month instead of every month, during a time when the course was having main- tenance issues. "I take responsibility for that," Bailey said. Gass said she had served many years on the Board of Adjustment and had never been presented with anything that gave directions. Filkoff said she would work with Deputy City Manager Marshall McCrary on the issue and come back with some proposals for conm- missioners at a later (late.

SatelliteTVscam The Nassau County Sheriff's Office arrested Anthony William Gerhold, 41, from Jacksonville on seven counts of schemes to defraud and exploitation of an elderly person. Gerhold was accused of impersonating a sub-contractor for Dish Network Satellite Co. and targeting Dish network customers. I i Gerhold would approach indi- ., viduals at their i . home claiming he was a rep- i resentative for Gerhold Dish Support Co., a sub-con- tractor for Dish Network Satellite, trying to convince current Dish customers to upgrade their services includ- ing any repairs for one year for approximately $900, police said. If they would sign a contract with him then the next three months of their satellite service would be free, Gerhold alleged- ly told' victims. He would tell the victims that they would con- tinue to receive a monthly bill from Dish, but just to ignore it because the first three months would be free and it would be corrected in their billing depart- ment, police said. After the victims received late payment bills and Dish Network advised that their service would be canceled for non-payment they contacted Dish Network directly and ,.,-,were informed the contract 'they signed was fi-audulent and Dish never received any pay- Sment for satellite service or repair. "There have been at least Seven known individuals vic- timized so far in Nassau County, but the suspect stated there may be as many as 45, so anyone who believes they may have been a victim of this scheme, please contact NCSO at (904) 225-5174, said Sheriff Bill Leeper. Gerhold has also 'been arrested in Alachua and Columbia counties for the same scheme. Backtojail According to' a sheriff's office report, a 40-year-old Fernandina Beach man was arrested for driving without a license six hours after he was discharged from Nassau County Jail. A deputy stopped a white Chevrolet on South Fletcher Avenue at 12:50 a.m. June 10 after it struck the curb of the roundabout at Sadler Road and continued traveling north, according to the report. The car was reportedly driv- ing into the oncoming lane and bicycle path. On bringing the car to a stop, the deputy noted the female driver was upset because she said her license was suspended and she was not supposed to be driving. The deputy noted that the male passenger had watery, bloodshot eyes, smelled strong- ly of alcohol and had slurred speech. According to the report, the passenger admitted he was the driver of the car after being read his rights. He said he had traded places with the woman because he did not want to get into any more trouble. He reportedly asked the officer to "give him a break" because he had just been released from jail six hours earlier. The man also stated he was aware that his license was suspended, the report stated. Deputies took him into cus- tody for driving without a license, a misdemeanor, and back to Nassau County JaH. Stun gun used A 32-year-old Hilliard man arrested for disorderly conduct early June 7 was brought down by a stun gun after he was reported to be "yelling and screaming" on New Front Street in Hilliard, according to a report. Deputies responded to calls about a man yelling and wailing around 6 a.m. After announc- ing himself to the man, who was walking toward Walker Street, the deputy asked the man to show his hands. When the man reached behind his back, the officer deployed his stun gun, with one lead striking the man, the report stated. The officer then "touch-Tased" the man's back and he went to the ground. The man was arrested for disorderly conduct, a misde-, meanor, and resisting arrest. Resisting officers t An intoxicated 36-year-old man who was described by deputies as "extremely bel- ligerent" was arrested after he tried to grab a stun gun from the belt of the arresting officer, according to a June 12 police report. The man, found behind the A1A Liquor Store in Yulee around 9 p.m., became angry after deputies asked him for his address, the report stated. When placed in handcuffs and escorted to the patrol car, the man refused to sit down and began to kick backwards, try- ing to strike the arresting offi- cer. When the officer placed the man against the vehicle, the man reached backwards and grabbed the handle of the offi- cer's stun gun, to pull it from the holster. The officer pushed the man to the ground to regain control, causing the man's head to strike the concrete and cut his forehead. The man contin- ued to kick, according to the report. Two more deputies arrived with the Nassau County deten- tion van, but the man contin- ued to kick at them, the report stated. He was transported to Baptist Medical Center Nassau for treatment and then to Nassau County Jail. Donnie Eugene Gros- Ventre; 1655 Lime St., Apt. 17B, Fernandina Beach, was booked for resisting an officer with vio- lence, a felony, and disorderly intoxication in a public place causing a disturbance, a mis- demeanor, according to the report.

F.ORIDA Beasley at helm of all-county softball team Yulee junior intentionally I L I walked 21 times in 2013 -A BETH JONES News-Leader Karla Beasley's.home run record is still intact. But she's not too happy about it. She wanted to break it. Beasley, an upcoming sen- ior at Yulee High School, set a county record in softball in 2012 with 12 home runs. She just had 11 her junior season but it wasn't for a lack of try- ing. No one would pitch to her the last four games of the sea- son. Beasley drew a base on balls 26 times all season; 21 were intentional. "It's an honor," said Beasley, 17. '"People look at you and say, 'We don't want to let her hit.' After a while, it starts to get aggravating because I know I could really help my team out with just one swing. Get a double, get her to score. "It kind of takes the game out of your hands. There's good and bad to it." But Beasley admits if she were a coach, she would probably do the same thing. "I don't go up to the plate with the mindset of I need to hit it out right here," she said. "It just kind of happens. We don't work on hitting it over. We just work on getting solid contact." Beasley, the most valuable player on the 2013 all-Nassau County softball team, was still a force at the plate this season for the Lady Hornets. She hit .502 with team-leading 33 RBIs, seven doubles and a pair of triples. On the mound, Beasley was '10-4 with a1.27-eai-ned, run average. She struck out 117 batters in 74 innings, giv- ing utip 20 hits and walking 26. "She doesn't really make me work too hard behind the plate," said Yulee catcher Courtney Dietz, also an all- county selection. "We work well together. She always has a great attitude toward the game. She keeps her head on straight." Beasley said a'highlight of her junior season was beating West Nassau in the district championship game. The dis- trict softball crown was a first for Yulee High School. "I think the difference from last year was the fight in our team," Beasley said. "If , we were down, we'd be cheer- ing in the dugout. We would- n't give up hope." Beating a bigger school like Sandalwood was also memorable for Beasley. 'They had a good record and had beaten some very good teams," she said. "We came in there and it was a blowout. We run-ruled them. I thought, we just beat a real- ly good team. "I don't think the team realized what we just did. They made it seem so-effort- less. It was one of those garpes we dominated in everything." It was a good lest too for the Lady Hornets, who will move up to 5A next season. "A lot of people know the talent we have," Beasley said. "Since the girls saw the drive we can , I, r,; illM, have, I hope we take it another step and hopefully beat some real- ly good teams next year." While Beasley is spending her summer anchoring the offense of the Angel Gold traveling team she leads the team with seven home runs halfway through the sea- son and visiting college campuses, Yulee is still on hei- mind. "I don't want people to think about the colleges look- ing at me," she said. "That's not what drives me." Younger players who look up to Beasley are her motiva- tion. 'The girls from the middle school were holding up signs during the season," she said. "It's amazing to have little girls looking up to me. That's what drives me." And Beasley is quick to give back. She offers hitting and pitching lessons to her young admirers, who keep up with her on Twitter. "The first thing they ask is if we won," she said. 'Then they ask if I hit a home run." "She hangs out with them for hours at a time, trying to make them better," said father Tim. Angel Gold recruited Beasley, just one of three Florida players ,on the roster. She's traveling to North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia for games this sum- mer. The team has qualified for the ASA national champi- onship., And nobody walks Beasley intentionally. Not ,at that level. And that makes her smile. "As a dad, I want her to set these (high school) records," her father said. "But if I'm coaching, I'm not pitching to her. I told her don't be mad. She's mad because she's chasing that record. But her on-base percentage is off the chain. 'This is about more than just her."' Her dad is one proud papa this summer as he watches coaches from division one schools keeping a close eye on his baby girl. "I think how cool that is," he said. But Beasley is taking her time picking a college. At least 15 schools have expressed an interest and all but one are division one schools. "I have a soft spot for Eastern Carolina University,"- Beasley said. "It's beautiful up there. "You have so many pros and cons for each school. It's going to be hard.-It's stress- ful. I've been working for this for so long. "I haven't cut them out in Florida, but I've always want- ed to go away. Not too far away from home. I've visited a lot of colleges, the coaches are all nice. It's going to be a hard decision." "She's so soft-hearted. She said, 'I don't know how I'm going to tell them no,'" her father added. While she's honing her game for the next level, she's also concentrating on school work. All of her classes are dual enrollment and she's just credits away from an associ- ate degree. "I have the option to grad- uate early but since softball is at the end of the year..." Beasley said. The 2013 all-Nassau County softball team: Karla Beasley, junior pitcher and infielder for Yulee. Beasley came up one home run shy of her 12 homers last season. She had just 11 home runs this season but she was intentionally walked on 21 trips to the plate.

OUTDOORS WE-DNESDAY, JUNE 26, 2013 SPORTS News-Leader Spooning the moon Moon phases arc definitely critical to your fishing success. Typically during a full or new moon period, tidal currents will be stronger at inlet mouths, bays, tidal estuaries *and even at nearshore fish havens. Gamefish may become active during a smaller window of t the tide. There are OTh DOORS exceptions. .... During the newmoo p months of Teiy L acoss June and July king mackerel can be tar- geted at inlet mouths, where there is a good running tide producing ideal conditions for carrying their fertilized eggs. The best kingfish action comes during the full and new moon phases when strong tides are present. Offshore fishermen will find during a full or new moon that gamefish will hold close to bottom structures, including sunken wrecks, rock ledges and hard bot- toms. Strong currents will also attract baitfish schools and king mackerel and grouper can be found ambushing an easy meal. Trolling a saltwater spoon deep during a full or new moon phase is not only an old-time deadly i-l1;,IL tactic for both king mackerel and grouper but is still a deadly fishing tactic today. Keeping your saltwater spoon in the strike zone is critical when targeting deep- water grouper and kingfish. A drone spoon fished deep with the aid of a downrigger places the flashy spoon in the exact strike zone. Also using a short drop back distance from the downrigger release clip of 20 feet allows sharp turns of the trolling boat, where the spoon or spoons are trolled in the strike zone for a longer period of time. The constant turning and change in the swimming pat- tern of spoons trolled deep also promotes more strikes from deep-water gamefish. Terminal fishing tackle includes a 30-pound class, six- foot trolling rod and 3/0 trolling reel. Attach a 50- pound barrel swivel to the tag end of the terminal fishing line; then haywire wrap a seven-foot section of No. 5 coffee-colored piano wire to the remaining side of the bar- rel swivel. Finally, the tag end of the wire leader is attached to the spoon using a haywire wrap. Typically deep-sea fisher- men will troll two spoons deep with the aid of a pair of downriggers. The first down-., rigger.spoon is trolled 10 feet off from the bottom, while the second downrigger is trolled some 20 feet off from the bot- tom. The trolling speed ranges from 3-5 knots, allow- ing for sharp turns while keeping the trolled spoons in the strike zone. Full and new moon phases also produce extremely high tides that typically flood the spartina marshes. Tailing red- fish will move into the flood- ing marshes feeding on fid- dler crabs, shrimp and small blue crabs. An old and mod- ern-day fishing tactic for flood tide redfish entails casting a gold Johnson spoon into the flooded marsh while retriev- ing the spoon just under the surface. Redfish spoons come in a variety of sizes. Obviouslythe heavier the spoon, the further you can cast it. Spooning tackle includes a 15- 20-pound class, 7 1/2-foot FERNANDINA BEACH Tides, Sun & Moon:June 26 -j Sun. 6/30 Mon. 7/I Tues. 7/2 Wed. 7/3 Tide calculations are for Amelia River, Fernandina Beach.

He closed with a third straight 3-under-par 69 to finish j at 18-under 270 on the Eichenried Golf Club '. ... course. Els was in front after the first and second rounds and entered the last day as part of a three-way lead. "It's great to get my t name on this wonderful trophy. Obviously it gives you a lot of confidence," said Els. , "Wire-to-wire you've got the pressure, every i night you've got to sleep on it, guys are _. chasing you. So this is quite a week for rne." -"-'. Els is a two-time winner at the U.S. Open and British Open. One of the most difficult shots to master is a high, soft lob shot to a real tight pin Si placement, such as right over a bunker. The key to this shot is to get the ball to stop S..quickly once it lands on the green in order to get the ball as dose as possible. The dcuh s || of choice for this shot will have to be the 60 degree lob wedge as the standard sandI S wedge will cause many more sculled shots than good results. As for the actual shot, :s it is quite difficult to get a consistent swing. Going against most of what we have been taught in golf, you have to cock the wrists while taking a long backswing. Use your torso on the downswing, maintaining the cocked wrists and the blade open through impact. The follow-through should have the clubface facing up to the sky to try and generate the proper bounce and spin. ,JJ'J .-. w Ken Duke Turned Professional: 1994 World Ranking: 70th 2013 PGA Earnings: $1.600,045 PGA Tour Wins: 1 Through June 23, 2013 1) Tiger Woods 2 380 pts. / 5 top tens 2) Matt Kuchar 1,64 pts / 6 lop tens 3) Brandt Snedeker 1.528 pts. :' 6 top tens AA\ OL; RI:.I. el l, S 1.518 pts. 5 toptens 011 5) Billy Horschel S'113 pl 1 / 7 top tens FedEx Cup Standings continued...

FL - it must be summer How do we know at our house that summer has arrived? It's easy. If the washing machine is running con- stantly it's hot. Whether the Big Guy and I are working in the yard, play- ing at golf or tennis or just going out, we come back with hot sweaty clothes. Another load of laundry. The thump, thump of the washer and dryer is a constant in our summer- time lives. Damp sandals and athletic shoes line up by the back door. Everything is moist and organic. More often than not thunderstorms roll in every afternoon. The skies grow dark and ominous, distant rum- bles become louder and louder and the rain falls in torrents. Then, as -' though someone has thrown a FROM THE PORCH Dickie Anderson switch, it stops. Steam rises from the garden. The moisture p)llrmiat.'s everything. The lawn is squishy and we are convinced we can almost watch the grass grow. Our screen porch becomes our living room. We enjoy our morning coffee and adult beverages at the end of the day. Instead of television we watch the birds that gather al our feeders in the late afternoon. A spe- cial treat is our pair of painted bu)tntings that are regulars. We watched a pair of cardinals teaching their young to take seeds from a feeder. Big Guy battles the squirrels that return again and again. He greases lie poles and enjoys watch- ing the devilish creatures slide, only to try again and again. When the temperatures start to climb in early summer, we find our- selves checking the gauges in our calS an11 1,, ll-i tiii-' our activities. Very hot, humid days knock me off my feet. I sweat. No glistening for this girl. My faces turns a less than att active shade of red. When my tennis team practices our coach . watches me carefully and encour- ages frequent water breaks. Mopping my brow With one of the many towels that are resident in my tennis bag, I remind myself to remember the danger signs of over- heating. A trip to the Emergency Room was a wake-up call. Heatstroke is caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures or physical activi- ty in hot weather. lThe very young and very old are the most vulnerable. Heatstroke occurs when your body temperature reaches 104 degrees. Symptoms includes excessive sweat- ing, difficulty breathing, nausea, lightheadedness and feeling faint. Our coach taught us a quick response to the danger of heat- stroke. Cool or cold water on the back of the neck will offer immediate relief. If not treated, serious conse- quences can occur which include stroke and kidney damage and, yes, even death. Careful what you wish for. Many of us moved from places where the dreaded cold of winter and inches of snow made Florida the perfect place to live. Well, it is mostly Hot, humid weather has its challenges too. We are not complaining, just adjusting. I would rather sweat than shovel snow any day. Dickie Anderson welcomes your comments.

CATS ANGELS Adele, above right, and Taylor, above left, are pastel calico sisters with mostly white fur with patches of light orange and gray. Adele's coat is medium length and Taylor . has short fur. These girls are new to the Cats'Angels Adoption Center, but are making a good transi- tion and becoming friends with the other cats and our volunteers. These sisters are young cats who are just 1 1/2 years old and both have sweet personalities. Adele and Taylor are looking for someone to make a real com- mitment and give them a for- ever home. Cats Angels is committed to helping all our cats, especially our older felines, find "forever" homes this year. You can make a difference in the life of an ani- mal in need. Read more about our cats patiently wait- ing for their new lives on our website at www.catsangels.com. Cats Angels Thrift Store/ Adoption Center at 709 S. Eighth St. is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. til 5 p.m. or you can call 321-2267, to meet with an adoption volunteer. All of our cats available for adoption have been spayed or neutered, tested, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Please stop by the Cats Angels Thrift Store/Adoption Center and help support the kitties through adoptions, purchases and donations of resale items or for cat care it is all greatly appreciated. Much needed supplies are Fancy Feast canned kitten food, Purina One dry kitten food, cat litter, bleach and paper towels. Cats Angels does not receive government monies of any kind. We are an all-volunteer' organization and it is only your generous donations, grants and fundraising that support our Spay/Neuter and Adoption programs. At this time of year, shel- ters and rescue groups have more kittens and puppies than they can handle and, sadly, many will not find homes. You can be the one to prevent this by getting animals spayed and neutered. Call Cats Angels at 321-2267 for lower-cost Options. We can humanely trap feral cats. Spay and neuter the responsible solu- tion. S NASSAU HUMANE SOCIETY Lace is one of our staff's favorites, because she has a loving disposition and really wants to please you. She's a young bulldog mix, about 2 years old,end she's fun and very affectionate. She came to us last winter and was adopt- ed, but her family had to return her because of circum- stances that had nothing to do with her. They gave us feed- back about her, and said she gets along well with children and other dogs. She's still working on housetraining, but she's very smart and eager to please. Hler favorite thing in the world is to sit in your lap or by your side and have her tummy rubbed she'll lie there in total ecstasy. We think she'd be great for an active single . owner or family, and with some training we think she'd be a wonderful running or jogging partner. Lace has a gorgeous black and white coat (and face), a beautiful smile, and a sweet personality. She is a dog who will truly adore you! Justin is a very special cat! He's quite beautiful, with gor- geous green eyes, and also very affectionate and sweet. He loves to be petted and will even roll over to get all the love he can. He's a Domestic Short Hair/Bengal mix, and is accustomed to living with people, but his owners could- n't keep him. He's not a "scratcher" and we think he'd be a wonderful addition to any home, including single folks or families, and from children to seniors. He's a tall cat with long legs and he keeps himself in good condi-, tion he doesn't over-eat and keeps himself trim. We think you'll love Justin! You can see videos of our adoptable dogs and cats at our website, NassauH'umaneSociety.com, and submit an online adoption application. Adoption is the best option and through the end of June, you can adopt for less! For the rest of this month we have $50 Fidlos and $40 Felines, roughly half our usual adoption rates. We also still have our usual specials, Seniors for Seniors (reduced rates for senior citizens adopting sen- ior pets) and Tuxedo Tuesday (25 percent off black or black-and-white cats on Tuesdays.

Thank you for considering a pet from our shelter! PET PROJECTS Seeldking do-gooders Trish Sorum, co-manager of Nassau Humane Society's Second Chance resale store on 14th Street, is looking for three special people who- came to the store recently. Two children created and sold paper airplanes at the end of their drive- way. Their grandmother then brought them to the store where they donated the money they earned "for the dlogs in cages so they can get a home." "I was so surprised and so touched, I completely dropped the ball," said Sorum. "I didn't scan the crayon picture of the dog in the cage, I didn't get names, I didn't get the pictures proud grandma had on her phone." Contact Sorum at secondchance@nassauhumanesociety. com. Adoption drive The Nassau Humane Society has reduced its dog and cat adoption rates to $50 and $40 respectively through the end of June. Visit the shelter at 671 Airport Road to find your new best friend. Offering the reduced lcfees is a way to encourage people to consider bringing a new pet into their home. Other specials include "Seniors for Seniors" reduced r-ates for senior citi- zens adopting senior pels and "Tuxedo Tuesdays" 25 percent off all black and black-and-white cats on Tuesldays.

JUNE 26. 2013 News-Leader 7B HOME & GARDEN BRIEFS Farmers markets Landon Stevenson of Simply Savory Gourmet Dips has joined the Amelia Farmers Market as a new vendor. With over 25 dips to sarnmple in their wicker (lip chillers, get your cup of pretzels and work your way around their booth. They are always adding new and unique d(lips to their line so everyone may have to take a trip ilround-the booth each Saturday. French Onion Crab, Heavenly Horseradish Portabella & Ari-tichoke, Sundried Tomato & iKacon and Spinach Ari-tichoke are just a handful of the gourmet dip mixes and herb blends Simply Savory will have to sample. Their most popular, the Roasted Garlic & Herb, is perfect in a sour cream/mayo mixture or added to olive oil for a bread dip. 3 Amigos dip is for the spicy palate, or try Divine Dill to add zest to Greek yogurt, and the Smokehouse Bacon & Tomato dresses up a plain hummus. Your favorite veggies or chips are great for dipping or try Tropical Delight with cool whip and cream cheese with firuit wedges. Several of the herbs are perfect for sauces or as a dry rub for meat. And the answer is yes to two questions: Simply Savory is the gourmet dlip mix vendor who participates in the Amelia Farmers Market's Wine Festival and Garden Show and their wicker dip chillers are available for pur- chase. Enjoy fresh from South Florida green coconuts with the nutrient-packed coconut water while shopping or with a little instruc- tion, learn how to open them to enjoy at home. Fresh from the oven, Spouse's now has smoked meat pockets including bread pockets stuffed with southern smoked prime rib. There is always something new on the tables at Spouse's including pastries, cookies, sweet breads, foccacias and sliced or whole breads. ,Enjoy rustic country loafs to crispy French- style baguettes and savory brads at JC's Daily Bread Bakery.
