Now, 58 years after re-pledging his life to the Red, White, and Blue Oct. 22,1947 alongside his five brothers, Middleburg residentJesse W. MorganJr. still remem- bers the battles vividly. "I owed it to my country to join all of my native brothers and sisters," said the World War II and Korean War veteran who served eight years and three months. "It was war, and war is hell no matter where you're at" Morgan started his service career as a member of the Coast Guard but moved to the Navy, serving his country as a 2nd class carpenter's mate during World War. II before re-enlisting with his brothers, something that was the first of its kind since the Sulli an Act went into place. Morgan's other brother went into the Air Forceand served 22 years before retiring. "I'm not a flag waver. I believe in the flag," said Morgan, who feels his country doesn't owe him anything for his sacrifices. "I believe ii fighting for one's country." Morgan was among 518 World War II veterans honored during the Greater Jacksonville Area USO and Naval'Air Sta- tion Jacksonville's World War II Com- memoration Ceremony aboard NAS Jacksonville Monday, Dec. 5. Two hundred men and women never made it home., "The impact of war is not measured just by the number of those taken," said Crenshaw. "Withoutvictory by the Allies, the world you and I live in today would not exist." Crenshaw, along with Rear Adm.An- nette E. Brown, USN Commander,,Navy Region Southeast, thanked the veterans for their service and took the time to pose for a photo'with each one as they walked to the podium for recognition of their dedication to America.

"You put your life's dreams on hold, you risked everything," Crenshaw said. "You acted out of love and loyalty to your coun- try. I wonder if our young people today understand the sacrifices made by you." Morgan was not the only local veteran honored during the three-hour ceremo- respect for those serving their country and was grateful to Crenshaw, The USO and NASJAX for hosting the event. "It's a very honorable profession and I admire people who have made it a career. They are very dedicated and true Amer- icans," said Walthour about those cur- rently serving.

They spent most of the meeting mak- ing that choice, first interviewing the firms individually ranking each firm, and then speaking to the two top-ranked firms, Stone,Joca and Mahoney and the Legacy Company. The firms were ranked according to seven criteria, which included past per- formance, experience and location. The council has had numerous dis- cussions in the last year concerning the pace and volume of engineering work needed in the town. They determined finally that they wanted to solicit additional engineering services beyond those provided by the "City Engineer", Gordon Smith of CGS Consulting Engineers. When the services were solicited, the townindicated they wanted to add only one firm to the town's engineering services. However, as the Council discussed the merits of the firms, the closeness of the scores prompted movement toward putting both top-ranked firms under contract. Town Council member Travis Cum- ming summed up his support for adding Legacy to the roster as a firm that had worked closely with the town. He praised the experience brought by Legacy's Vice President Mike Kelter, the former Green Cove Springs public works director. As chairman of the Town Council's Public Works Committee, however, Cum- mingstold the council that public works director had told the committee that tire might not be enough work for two additional engineering firms. After ranking the firms, the council decided to negotiate with both firms, contrary to the process they have used in past contracts where they had negotiated at a second meeting. Both firms provided their rates for their staff with significant differences between the two. For example, the hourly rate for the principal engineer for Stone,Joca, and Mahoney was $135 per hour versus a rate quoted by Legacy of $100 per hour for' the principal (Legacy's proposal had not included written rates but was present as Stone, Joca, and Mahoney presented their rates). Teresa Smith of CGS, present repre- senting the company, was asked to pro- vide CGS' rates, which included $90 per hour for the principal engineer. Both firms were asked to return with contract proposals, which included hourly rates, flat-rate prices, aid lump sums for projects. Council members adopted the long awaited ordinance permitting the open consumption of alcohol in the parking lot of establishments receiving permits to do so. A separate resolution was adopted specifying that a permit could be ob- tained three times per year for a 24-hour period. One resident, MaryJane Pittman rose to object to the original proposal of up to 96 hours. As property manager of an apartment complex next to Ramirez Restaurant she said she has had to ap- proach them about problems in the past. "I did not haveproblems in the past," . said Pittman, "but now they are a differ- ent crowd younger and rude." She also was concerned about the des- ignation of "security personnel" in the ordinance that was undefined. Council member Pete Morgan told Pittman he viewed the ordinance and the resolution as" kind of an experiment". He said if the tow encountered problems they could come back and make changes ii-o-ther-bLI i ness thecounicil:. .'"'. .

And each display seems to be trying to outdo the others. Mind you, I'm not complaining. One of my favorite activities of this time of year is to drive around after dark and seek out some of the fabulous lighted scenes that, proliferate in Clay County. In sharp contrast to these displays, it ap- pears from reports:that I have seen and heard that charitable giving is down this year. I can only speculate on why people that have given generously in the past are doing less than last year. Could it be that the natural disasters of 2005 and the subse- quent call for charitable giving have near- ly exhausted the natural.tendency of Americans to give to the unfortunate?

They appar- ently livejust north of Green Cove but had never been there. They were discussing what a wonderfuldown-home event it was. It was the kind of Christmas I remem- ber as akid myself. Now this from the wonderful fantasy world of American idiocy. Late last night, after I had gotten home from the GreenCove City Councilmeeting, I turned on the television to unwind for a momentbefore hitting the hay.What tomy wondering eyes should appear but a news "snippet" aboutsome community oranoth- er banning a nativity scene. It seems they wouldn't object to the manager scene, per se, but they could not permit the Holy Family! Good grief! We used to have a saying in New England that seems particularly apt here: "Potato soup without potatoes ain't much." A wandering thoughtjust popped into my head. All those "politically correct" people that want to expunge the word "Christmas" from the language and re- place it with "holidays," should consider this. The very word "holiday" is a com- pound word derived from the combina- tion of "holy" and "day." I can't help but wonder who the holy ones are this mid-winter "holiday" season? When I was in college, I had a professor that used to refer to "the apotheosis of mankind." This, he said, was the tendency of mere humans to elevate themselves to the level of gods I sometimes think the old boy was right Those that objec ito religious display su ike me as people wanting to u n- seat dii initi and establish themselves on thethrone. Writer deplores treatment of Commissioner Fitzgerald On Tuesday, Nov. 22, the chairman of the Board of County Commission- ers for Clay County demonstrated an, arrogant misuse of power. Regardless of what he or others may think of Chr isty Fitzgerald'S-conduct, there has been no legal proof nor criminal charges filed against her. T here isgos- sip, innuendo and questionable cir- cumstances. Glenn Lassiter should have remained neutral. It strikes a chord that, with the exception of Harold Rutledge, the other three bare some responsibility for the fiasco we are going through; however it is only Fitzgerald w ho has been singled out for pIublic pillor\. Sometimes the best defense one can think of is to make sure another is put into the spotlight, the glare of the light forcing the other possible culprits into shadows. He had the temerity to mention in his speech that in Aimerica..one is in- nocent until proven guilty but-he went right on painting her with.the brush of implied guilt. She may be guilty,.but we,a as society who pro- fesses belief in the rule of la%, should and must wait until the proper legal pioceedi ngs have been completed.

Because to. grow and prosper without the kind of sprawl that has spoiled so many other "Clay Counties" of the world, which lie near urban areas, we need to start building alternatives to highways. We envision commuter rail for north- east Florida to be part of thatgrowth. The time for commuter rail has come to northeast Florida. Provincial thinking must fall by the wayside. It is perhaps inevitable that the pro- posal for commuter rail should become a political issue. After all, millions of dollars are at stake, and the highway lobby has had a free lunch at the trough of federal funding for 50 years but we, as citizens, need to speak up so that does not continue.

The North Florida Hunter Jumper Association will hold itsJacksonville In- ternationalJan. 13-14 in the two arenas at the Paul E. Reinhold Agricultural Fair- grounds on State Road 16, said Tony Weight, association president. Fox Sports Network will televise the event's finals. "This is a big deal," Weight told the Clay County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, Nov. 22. "Riders will be coming from all over for this." The association has staged televised events at the fairgrounds in the past. But this event is different, Weight said, be- cause eligible riders are attempting to gather as many points as possible during the competitive season to qualify for the 2008 Olympics, he said. Weight predicted the 450 entrants would come from Canada and South America as well as more than 30 states to compete in the event that is part of the as- sociation's Winter Series. "Most of the American Olympic team will be there," he said. Expected to compete are members of the sport's elite, including Aaron Vale, Nor- man Dello Joio, Georgina Bloomberg, Anne Kursinski, McLain Ward and Leslie Howard. The association has used the fair- grounds for its Winter Series since 1996 for its competitions, and Weight said the facility is very popular with the riders. "Riders say the grounds look better every year they come here," he said. The Green Cove Springs event also ap- pearson the world equestrian calendar, al- lowing riders from around the world to see details about it and consider coming here. . The association has worked with the county to make upgrades to facilities, in- cluding improved lighting in the barns, replacing the outer footings on the arena and schooling areas and purchasing the original horse stalls, said Alexis Gamel, association secretary. Weight also stressed the event's finan- cial impact on the county, saying it brought an estimated $15.7 million annu- ally. He said the competitors tend to be wealthy and treat themselves and their highly trained, expensive horses very well. "They aren'tgoing to puta tent up in the park," Weight said. 'They do quite well." Proceeds from the Hunter Jumper =- -w- ---mi-e UM.- PHOTO SPECIAL TO CLAY TODAY This is the type of hunter-jumper action that will occur during the North Florida Hunter Jumper Association's 2006 Winter Series at the Clay County fairgrounds near Green Coye Springs. Association go to the Clay County 4-H Foundation, including $23,000 raised in 2004. This year, the organization also is working with the U.S. Marine Reserve As- sociation, which helps families of de- ployed soldiers; Commission Chairman Glenn Las- siter praised Weight for his volunteer ef- forts, saying, "If I could double your salary I would." Lassiter pointed out that Clay County's equestrian event can only bring positive publicity and that residents "don't realize how this has put Clay County on the map by appearing on TV worldwide." Lassiter added that when Tampa was bidding in 2001 for the 2012 summer Olympics Clay County would have host- ed all the equestrian events. "That would have been huge," he said. Admission is free to the event, which begins at 7 p.m. Saturday,Jan. 14. Parking is $5 per car, with all proceeds going to the Clay County 4-H Foundation. A qualifying event will be held at the fairgrounds the day before. Proceeds from the event, sponsoredby MDI ofJacksonville, will go to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Foundation Toys for Tots program. The association also plans other events at the fairgrounds. They areJan. 4-8,Jan: 18-22,Jan. 25-29, and Feb. 1-5.

The deadline for dropping the new and unwrapped toys is Saturday,Dec. 10. On Dec 10, Earl Salmons, Commandant with the Marine Corp League, and others in his group, will travel to these locations to collect the toys that people have so gener- ously left for the children who will benefit from this program. And, in case you are wondering, the toys collected in Clay Co, will stay with the chil- dren in Clay Co. A Marine Reserve major in Los Angeles, Calif., started Toys for Tots in 1947. The fol- lowing year,thisprogramwastakentotherest oftheUnitedStatesandhasnotsloweddown. The Marine Corp League in this area started their campaign with children at Clay Hill Elementary and the Salvation Army. So that more children could be reached, Salmons recently spoke with Mrs. Chastain who is the principal at Clay Hill. She told Salmons that there are eight Title schools in the area that could benefit from this program.

The elementary schools that will bene- fit from the donated toys are Cherry, Clay Hill, Doctor's Inlet, Grove Park,Jennings and Wilkinson. Children in approximate- ly 175 families will receive the toys. Salmons is a little worried about the amount of toys that have been donated so far this season. "With the hurricanes, people are about donated out but I guarantee the kid's will get the toys," vowed Salmons. The school children are not the only children the local Toys for Tots program will help. The extra toys that need a child after the school children receive their toys, go to the Salvation Army on 220 which then go to children on the Angel Tree. Since the toys will be distributed on Dec. 12 -14, all donations need to be made no later than Dec. 10. If you have not yet do- nated but would like to, please make sure to leave a new unwrapped toy at a Toys for Tots location no later than Dec. 10.Justre- member, the ages of the children in this program are from 12 years old and down. There are though in some cases, older siblings who also benefit from this pro- gram. If one child in a family receives a toy through the Toys for Tots program, then all children in that family will receive a toy through this program. The smiles you see on the faces of your children onChristmas morning, will bethe same smiles that will be seen on the faces of the children who benefit from the Toys for Tots program.

But on Thursday, Dec. 1, five Northeast Florida Sheriffs, their assistants and the news media came to the 69-acre Jack- sonville Memorial Gardens cemetery to talk about drunk and aggressive driving during the holidays. Shipley's workers had set up a mock cemetery to show the 15 people killed in the five-county area during December 2004. American flags also were placed on five markers to signify those killed in accidents where alcohol was a contributing factor. Standing nearby with his maintenance crew,Shipley saidhe wasgladtohelp the Clay County Sheriffs Office put out the message. "It was very realistic," he said. "This ought to wake somebody up. It definitely got me thinking." Organized by Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler, the made-for-media event was in- tended to remindNortheastFloridaresidents that police are going to watch for offending drivers during December traditionally the deadliest timeonFloridas highways. "My goal and that of my fellow sheriffs is to work together so that there are no grave markers this time next year to show," Beseler said. He said the mock graveyard should serve as a cold reminder of the conse- quences of drunk driving and he encour- aged the public to use designated drivers when they know alcohol will be consumed. "Five of those died as a direct result of alcohol, including one in Clay and StJohns counties and three in Duval County. The other sheriffs echoed Beseler's re- marks aid added that traffic-related of- fenses are definitely the region's No.1 issue.

The community has to get involved and make it clear there is a zero tolerance for drunk driving. Citizens who suspect a drunk driver should contact police, he said. "I've been in this business for 25 years and I would like to say that we are on the winning side, the conquering side of drinking and driving. We are not," Shoar said. "I know I speak for my fellow sheriffs when we say 'In Northeast Florida, if you drink and drive you are going tojail."' Putriam County's sheriff, DIean Kelly, said his department was going to focus on aggressive and reckless driving. "We are very fortunate. Last yeai we did not have a DUI fatality in the month of December and we want to keep it that \na." he said. Beseler said traffic complaints contin- ue to be the biggest issue for his Sheriff's Office; And he saidofficers plan to take the issue head-on by continuing to run ticket- writing campaigns in areas like Fleming Is- land. In the past two months officers have written an estimated 700 tickets on U.S. 17 between Black Creek Bridge and Doctors Lake Bridge. Despite the efforts, however, spot checks continue to show drivers ignoring the post- ed 55 mph speed limit, he said. "We are going to stay out there until we get major compliance," Beseler said. Those additional tickets have led to a doubling of speeding citations compared to the same period last year, Beseler said. "I was getting writer's cramp I was writ- ing so many tickets," said Sgt. Chris Dan- gerfield, who led the Sheriff's Office traffic unit. "'lu could tell that (i rgeti ng that ai-ea) xvas long overid ue." Beseler said his department traffic unit, which includes a DUI specialist, plans Following a re the u a rn ing signs that a drii'er may be u der the influence ofalcohol or drugs: Wide turns Straddling lanes or driving on the center line Drifting or moving in a straight line at a slight angle to the roadway Driving with headlights off at night Appears to be drunk (i.e., eye fixation, face close to windshield, drinking in the car) Driving well below the speed limit for no noticeable reason Slow response to traffic signals Nearly strikes an object or curb a DUI checkpoint on Friiday, Dec. 16, on Blanding Boulevard in Orange Park.

The proposed development stretches along the Westside of Green Cove Springs. At build-out it will probably house more than 12,000 people along with associated commercial space, schools and other insti- tutions. The council, at its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 6, was unanimously dis- mayed that the Development of Regional Impact (DRI) did not address its "negative" GCS from page A-1 ontoMagnoliaAvenueatitspresentlocation, Some curb realignment and straight- ening of the curve north of the Magnolia intersection, Increasing angle of "bank" at the curve, and Milling and resurfacing of US17. In the meantime, the City of Green Cove Springs has a drainage project sched- uled for Center Street thatwill cross US17 impact on the city and surrounding unin- corporated area. In a memo to the council, City Manag- er Don Bowles said the DRI does not ad- dress its impact on SR16, US17 and the City's parks and recreation areas includ- ing Spring Park, Vera Francis Hall Park, Augusta Savage Friendship Park and Carl Pugh Park. He told the council that, at the very least, the development should be required to: Four-lane SR16 west from Oakridge Avenue to Springbank Road; Install a traffic light at US17 and Shedd Road; *Provide a regional park of60- 90 acres including at least eight athletic fields, bas- ketball courts, tennis courts, skateboard and connect to the State project. In addi- tion, the City will have to relocate two water lines that arein the way of the State project FDOT anticipates starting from both. ends of the project. It is expected that, be- ginning in mid-March, inside travel lanes and north- and southbound turn lanes will be closed for the safety of workers. Closure will affect only a couple of blocks at a time on each end of the drainage project and will continue for an anticipated six months. There also will be lane closures in park and nature/bicycle trail, all of which should be available to the general public. CouncilmanJohn Buchanan suggest- ed that provision also be made for afford- able housing, single family as well as multi-family. Planning ConsultantJanisFleet told the council that, in addition, the City's Vision- ing Committee strongly recommends a truck bypass around the city. One of the suggested routes for the bypass is CR315, which runs across the corner and up the east side of the development. Bowles saidthe council should, "...make your voice heard loud and clear to the CountyCommission that DRIs of this na- ture are not acceptable to Green Cove Springs." He said the development should connection with the milling and resur- facing but they will occur only at night between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. These will probably begin in September and con- tinue for about three months. Some detours in neighborhoods will be necessary during construction of the Wal- burg and Gum Street outfall lines, but FDOT has assured residents that they will have access to their homes. The drainage projects of both the State and the City are intended to ease existing not be allowed to proceed if the City's re- quests are not met Fleet told the council that Green Cove Springs is a "commenting agency"and that their concerns would be given considera- tion. IN OTHER BUSINESS, the council heard a presentation by the Florida De- partment of Transportation (FDOT) re- garding a proposed new bridge across the StJohns River. Consistent with its former position, the City reindorsed the so-called "Pink Route" that brings a new Beltway west and south of the city and crosses the river in the vicinity of the existing Shands Bridge. However, SARATOGA continued on page A-30 drainage problems in the area and to pro- vide for additional run-off occasioned by expansion of the County Courthouse. The reworking of the roadway north of Magnolia is intended to increase safe- ty for cars and; especially, northbound trucks. That location has seen a number of spectacular accidents over the years. In at least one of them, a heavily loaded truck overturned and dumped its load on a number of new cars in front of the Gar- ber dealership.

Email clayeditorial@icpgroup.com By Debbie Israel Messer, Staff MIDDLEBURG County Auditor Mike Price was a no show at the Charter Re- view Commission meeting in Middle- burg Thursday, Dec. 1. Commission Chairman Travis Cum- mings said Price told him while he would provide written answers to the questions previously posed by the commission he would not attend the meeting. Cummings said he asked for Price's ap- pearance long before the issuance of the recent report by Price concerning the ac- tions of the commission. However, he said Price told him he was concerned commission members would want to discuss and ask questions about the recent report. Cummings said Price wanted to assure the commission he wanted to cooperate andhad received no direction from com- missioners to not attend the meeting. That didn'treassureone commissioner. Commissioner Una Cornelius said, "He has wasted our time and humiliated everyone on this board." While commissioners initially-said they did not want to review the answers from Price since they could all read them, discussion ensued about many of the an- swers provided by Price. Among those answers were whether the position shouldbe addressed further in the charter, a question Commissioner Roy Lyons wanted to pursue further. Lyons told other members that per- haps there needed to be, "something there to protect him." County Attorney Mark Scr uby illumni- nated the answer to-one question for the* commissioners telling them that the au- ditor was not permitted to audit constitu- tional officers. However Scruby did say that the positions of constitutional offi- cers could be changed from elec ted offi - cialsto count) staff and then ihe\ could beaudited. The relationship of the county audi- tor, countymanager and county attorney to the county commissioners was dis- cussed at length with those positions being "at will" positions, meaning they could befired wxitlholu cause. The need to create a super majority for those firings was raised with Commis-. sioner Rob Bradley cautioning the other members, "let's not neuter our board of commissioners," adding that there will be times when the commission should re- move one of those staff members. Also noted was that there had been a failure of individuals not a failure of the institution, given that the charter already includes a non-interference (by the com- missioners) clause. Beefing up that clause became anoth-- er interest of the commission with Com- missioner Bill Garrison saying," Ours is a little anemic". Garrison had researched such clauses in other county charters for the charter review commission. Garrison advocated adding the klain, ii-ae found in Brevard County's charter making interference an act of" malfeasance". Adding an audit committee into the mix was another idea when Commis- sioner GordonJesperson said the Sar- banes-Oxley Act, which businesses now have to comply with, may provide guid- ance as to how to proceed. An audit com- mittee now exists but consists only of Don M oore, thLc County Finance Director and Price. Much of therest.of the meeting was consumed with a return tothe discussion of adding two at-large seats to the com- mission and making one of the at-large seats a "mayoral" \v pe of seat That com- missioner would chair the commission on a permanent basis while in office: Scruby told members he felt that under state law that could not occur. He advisedthe charter review.commission to raise that subject with Sarah Blakely, an attorney for the Florida Association of Counties. Blakely will be presenting a seminar to the charter review-commis- sion, at the Teacher's In-Service Center at Fleming Island High.School on Wednes- day,Jan. 18 from 6 to 9 pm. Charter Review Commissioner Roy Lyons comn mended the Nliddlebtug com- munity. saying there was more atten- dance in Middleburg than in either Orange Park of Green Cove Springs. The next meeting f:or the commission will be 7 p.m. Thursda.Jan. 5, at Kev- stone Heights Town Hall. Cummings said he would incite Finance Director Don Moore and County Manager Fritz Behri ing to attend.

Owen, who says she takes classes her- self to learn new steps, says she keeps index cards on which she keeps track of what songs and steps she has taught at each class so as to rotate them. Owen said she started dancing when her mother was ill and she was caring for her. To take a break she took classes when they were offered at the Orange Park Mall and one day the teacher told her she needed some help. The dancers in her class have their fa- vorites, including steps to "All My Ex's Live in Texas", "Tango with the Sheriff", and "Come Dance with Me". Owen said she has been asked to put steps together for every kind of music, from country western songs to songs like "A New Attitude". Line dancing, like other dance forms, has individually named steps that in- elude basic steps as well as steps from other dance forms like mambo, cha-cha, and the waltz. Attending the classes take only an in- terest and a $2 donation that helps the dance instructors buy their music. One component missing from the classes is men. "They come and dance but they don't last long, said Owens. The other dancers noted the men seem to have more medical problems to deal with and drop out of the class. "It keeps my mind sharp," said dancer Angie Carroll. All of the dance classes will come to- gether on Monday, Dec 21, to celebrate the holiday season, to "eat each other's food", and to dance. ."I just love it, "said Owen, adding the dancers have become like family. Penney Farms residents train for hospice duties By Diane E. Shepard, Correspondent PENNEY FARMS Penney Farms Re- tirement Community (PRC) was the re- cent site of a two-day intensive training session for 15 new Hospice volunteers. One of those was Julia Cobb, who ad- mitted that before taking the class she had moments of self-doubt. At 70, she was the youngest person there and the only non-Penney Farms resident. "I didn't think I was going to be able to do it, then I talked to all these wonderful people-older than me-with pluck and spirit," she said. According to Cobb. the residen- n t ,c re so steely in their resolve to be a Hospice volunteer that it made her realize she could do it, too. An 89 year-old woman at the training who works the "night shift" with Hospice. patients especially struck her.

"These people arejust amazing," Cobb said. "They just want to help their neigh- bors and friends. This might help other older people realize that they, too, can make a difference." Donna Painter, a volunteer program specialist for- Community Hospice of Northeast Florida, conducts the inter- views with the volunteers after training. According to Painter, volunteers go through a thorough screening process be- fore stepping into anyone's home or work- ing with any patient. This process includes 16 hours of training, as well as interviews, and background checks (including criminal and motor vehicle). They also ask for per- sonal references and screen for tuberculosis. Painter said they try:to match volun- teers with the right person based on their ._Lonunon interests. Abl:re all, Painter says, "\\- want to make sure they are ready." Hospice trainer Reeda Harris led the program at PRC and said that in some ways, she was surprised by the age of the participants. "But then again, they are a unique group anyway, and a close-knit one as well,' she said. "These were their friends, and they are entering the last phase of their lives, and they wanted to help." Harris added that many of them have al- ready been helping in some capacity atPRC. "Theyjustlhat\ ethat feeling n.i[ialh." Harris said. "This is a very active involved group. I've heard they even have an Alzheimer's group there as well." PRC resident Helen Barnes played an im- ONS... !ISEB a I' SOMETHING ELSE TO CROW ABOUT!

Though the reasons for wanting to volunteer may be different, the senti- ment behind them is not. For Lillian Brodish, it was what she witnessed fit -r ha.nd 1 ii ing lhei oi:, n ex- perience with Hospice through her hus- band's illness that made her want to become a Hospice volunteer. Her husband, she said, "... went to Glory," onJuly 30. Brodish said she was so impressed and touched by the Hospice prog r.i and theii assistance. "They mean it from the heart," she said. "They are so sincere." She and el husband had :lh\\a\ sled active lives as .issionar.ies in (Geir minny) for 42 years, but they had spent the last 10 years at PRC.

ST\FF PHOTO B\ BOB HENDERSON In a tradition nearly as old as Scouting, new Eagle Scout Frank Schreffler "pins" his mother. Michele Knoff, with a replica of the badge he has just received. The last requirement for a prospective Eagle Scout is to plan and direct a com- munity service project. Schreffler's fa- ther, Richard Knoff, who is also- Scoutmaster of Troop 577, recalled his son's project. With the approval of Coun- ty Parks Director Tom Price, the Scout and the volunteers.working with him, pressure washed and added wood preser- vative and waterproofing to 15 bleachers in Little Rain Lake Park in Keystone Heights. Schreffler spent 120 hours on the project and his volunteers gave an- other 94. Price said the project resulted in a $2,346 savings to the county. Eagle Scout Chris Knoff, the new Eagle's brother, delivered the Eagle charge. As part of the ceremony, Schreffler "pinned" his parents with replicas of his Eagle badge.

That's because the Orange Park Wal- Mart manager is doing his part to dispel a rumor the retail giant told its 1.2 million employees not to say the holiday greeting this year. "Nobody has told us we can't say 'Merry Christmas'," Klitch said at the Blanding Boulevard store last week. "But I've heard from people who say they heard it CNN and (local television)." The confusion may have occurred, he said, because the Bentonville, Ark.-based retail chain is using "Home for the Holi- days" in its advertisements. But the reason it chose that phrase is because the advertising campaign start- ed before Thanksgiving and will end after New Year's, a period that encom- passes several holidays, including Kwan- zaa and Hanukkah. Wal-Mart's home office is also speak- ing out on the issue. In a news release issued Friday, Dec. 2, the company said there is a growing mis- conception what holiday greeting its em- ployees can say. "We encourage associates to use their bestjudgment when greeting our cus- tomers and to assess which greeting or greetings best suit the customers and as- sociates in their local store," said Wal- Mart spokeswoman Sarah Clark. She said if 'Merry Christmas' is appro- priate, then associates should use it. "Or, some associates may choose to say 'Happy Holidays,' which may be more in- clusive for Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Three Kings' Day, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," she said. Clark pointed out the store offers a large range of Christmas-related toys and products, including trees, cards and Nativ- ity scenes; But.it also stocks items for other observances this time of year, she said. Klitch said there's no doubt which greeting his store plans to use after hear- ing from some angry customers. "I've had some customers say they heard it on TV.and they demand to know why Wal-Mart decided to drop the Merry Christmas. We didn't," he said. "We're not trying to be politically correct on this." STAFF PHOTOS BY GREG WALSH The Wal-Mart store on Blanding Boulevard recently presented checks to three or- ganizations. Shown are: top, Bob Krieger of the Clay County Chamber of Commerce receives a $4,000 check for its economic development effort; middle, Virginia Hall of the J.P.

Store man- ager Stanley Klitch presented the checks. ----- ---,------ -- NAS Jax engineer wins award Special to Clay Today Smith started his Navy career after JACKSONVILLE -Commander Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAV- FAC) Rear Admiral Mike Loose an- nounced, Nov. 25, Cmdr.

Following protocol, the plant was 4' evacuated and emergency services i were notified. Units from Clay County Fire Res- ' cue, including the hazardous materials team and the Town of Orange Park r Fire Department responded, and worked with the onsite Fuji-Hunt Haz- ardous Materials team to control the spill and.prevent a fire.

'Nigerian scam' arrives in Clay Clay Today staff ORANGE PARK The Clay County Sher- iffs Office is warning residents to beware of Internet scams that nearly cost two resi- dents large chunks of their own money. One scam involved a 43-year-old Or- ange Park man.who was solicited by an in- stant message asking if he wanted to make money, according to a Sheriff's Office inci- dent report. The man replied to the message and began corresponding with someone in Nigeria, who asked him to cash money or- ders, keep 10 percent of the cash and send the remainder to Nigeria, the report states. The man initially agreed, but then backed out when friends told him the trans- actions were illegal. He contacted police after receiving three money orders that he was to return to Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria. In the other scam, a 54-year-old Mid- dleburg man was attempting to sell his Harley Davidson motorcycle online when a man claiming to be a auto deal- ership sales manager in England con- tacted him to buy it. A Sheriff's Office incident report states the Middleburg man was to cash an $18,000 money order sent to him and then send $7,000 to an. third man who was going to, ship the mo- torcycle to England. However, when the Middleburg man attempted to cash the money order at a Bank of American branch a teller dis- covered the money order was bogus, the ,report states. Initially, the buyers insisted the Middle- burg man sign a bill of sale and relinquish the title before sending the money order, but the Middleburg man refused, the re- port states. i J|.t - Affordable ALL WOOD KITCHEN CABINETS!

What do Geezer Butler, the long-time bassist of heavy metal pio- neers Black Sabbath, and Bobby Ingram, the frontman of the Southern rock band Molly Hatchet and a Clay County resident, have in common besides making leg- endary music? Both rockers havejoined PETAs boycott of KFC. Geezer and Bobby have promi- nently displayed links on their respective Web sites (GeezerButler.com and Molly- Hatchet.com) to PETAs KentuckyFried- Cruelty.com site, where the musicians say visitors can learn how KFCtorments the more than 850millionchickens raised and killed for the company each year. "We want them to change their approach and have alternative means to delivering their product to their customers, with re- gards to humane practices versus what's happening rightnow," Ingram said. "Our in- tention is not to hurt KFC, but to try to pro- tect the procedures on how they are delivering theirproducts to the consumers." RAVINES from.page A-1 request a mediation process using a third- party to resolve a dispute. DeBusk's request will be presented to County Commission- ers at their Tuesday, Dec. 13meeting, said County Attorney Mark Scruby. "I want this to go to mediation so it will be judged on the facts and not on lies," De- Busk said Tuesday, Dec. 6. The announcement comes just days after DeBusk learned the Clay County Classic Golf Tournament, which has in- cluded The Ravines course for years, will, not be held there in 2006. Ingram said he feels ,.-.-W, KFCisareputablecom- pany.

SThey say the project would worsen traf- fic along the development's primary road and destroy the 18-hole course designed by PGA Tour player Mark McCumber. The day after the Nov. 22 vote by Coun- ty Commissioners, DeBusk kicked out nearly 40 golf club members who signed the petition against his proposal, which would put the new homes on what is now 'the front nine of the golf course and driv- ing range. STo offset the losses from booting out those members, DeBusk said he has played off two management people and reduced some hourly workers' salaries. Selling the golf course also remains a possibility, said DeBusk, who met Tuesday with a potential buyer. He declined to give a selling price. DeBusk said a primary investor in the course told him "he wants to protect his in- terest"and may pull out of the projectif ex- pansion project is not approved. Debusk, who bought .the 435-acre course two years ago, defends his actions, s) i ng he has a right to develop the prop- erir the wa\ he wants. He maintains all his requests have been within county plan- ning guidelines... SDeBusk says the "dissenters" are long- time residents who don't like it that he won't let them control the golf course. "It's the old line people, the same people that have been there for 20 years having their own ways," DeBusk said. "They basi- cally don'tlike the fact that somebody came in there and bought that golf course and how dare me establish my own guidelines, how dare me challenge what they want do, how dare me have the expense and the risk and they tell me how and when to run my SARATOGA from page A-13 council members proposed combining the brown and pink routes in St.Johns County to create a "Brink" routethat would provide both a northbound and southbound route between the Beltway and 195.

KFC ig- nored recommendations of its own animal welfare board, five of whom have since re- signed after being ignored for years. Former KFC advisor Adele Douglass told the Chicago Tribune that KFC "never had any meetings. They never asked any advice, and then they touted to the press that they had this animal-welfare advisory committee. I felt like Iwas being used." Ingram and Geezer join fellow musi- cians Emmylou Harris, Paul McCartney, and Chrissie Hynde in supporting PETAs "Kentucky Fried Cruelty" Campaign. PETA has had additional high-profile sup- port from Nobel Peace Prize winner the Dalai Lama, comedian Richard Pryor, ac- tresses Pamela Anderson andBea Arthur, civil rights leaders the.Rev. AI Sharpton, Alice Walker, Kweisi Mfume, Dick Grego- ry, and Dr. Cornel West, and even KFC ex- pitchmanJason Alexander. business. They don't like that. He also blames opponents for mislead- 'ing the County Commissioners on several fronts, including the number of names on the petition circulated against the expan- sion.He also maintains the petitionwrong- ly explained county ordinances that control subdivision growth. DeBusk maintains Lyons "lied" to coun- ty officials about key facts in the proposal. -But Lyons denies any attempt to de- ceive. "We didn't lie about anything," Lyons said. "He's trying to make it personal issue with me. It's his actions that we don't like, it's not the man personally." DeBusk said he may also rethink his membership in the Republican Party be- cause Lyons is county GOP chairman. November's vote by the commissioners was the second time Commissioners had turned down the proposal. Earlier in the .year the commission had split 2-2 on the project, which was scaled back from more than 130 acres to just 65. In both cases, the Planning Commission recommended the project be approved. Commissioners told DeBusk it wasn't the internal strife among The Ravines res- idents that concerned them, but rather concerns about allowing the development to get bigger than it was originally ap- proved that prompted their vote. Commissioners Pat McGovern and Harold Rutledge both said The Ravines should not be allowed to grow beyond the 477 homes it was approved for. Commis- sion Chairman Glenn Lassiter also raised questions about allowing a second Ravines entrance a provision the Planning Com- mission had recommended that would send more traffic onto Green Road. Yeaman said. He said that making the river available in such away would assist Putnam County in its efforts at eco- nomic development. The City will reissue a previous reso- lution in support of a "brink" route. BOWLES ALSO told the council that the selection committee had unan- imously tabbed Robert Musco, a 27- year police captain from Delray Beach, as their first choice for new police chief. If selected, Musco would replace Chief Gail Russell, who is planning to retire early in 2006. 7.g L tfat&ait nz2i u/clat.i in touz ayza.

Thomas Kielbasa FloridaNationalGuardPublicAffairs KEYSTONE HEIGHTS- More than 250 paratroopers including members of the Florida National Guard's Special Forces and soldiers from Guyana- took part in a multi-national airborne exercise in north Florida, Dec. 3-4,.as part of an ongoing partnership between Florida and the South American nation. Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, 20th Special ForcesGroup,joined 15 members of the Guyana Defence Force for the two- day airborne exercise, which included a parachute jump from Georgia National Guard C-23 Sherpa airplanes onto an ap- proved drop zone located on Keystone Heights Airport According to Capt. Lloyd Souvenir of the Guyana Defence Force, the exercise with the Florida Special Forces allowed his soldiers to witness how U.S. para- troopers conduct their airborne opera- tions, including parachute rigging and aircraft procedures. "This is informative," Souvenir said while preparing his parachute for the ex- ercise. "And I think this is a great experi- ence for my guys, because for some of them this is their first time in the United States, and the first time working with Americans outside of Guyana." Souvenir explained that the Guyanese military bases their airborne operations on Brazilian military training and proce- dures, but his soldiers enjoyed sharing in- formation about parachuting techniques with the Florida Special Forces. SThe exercise also involved individual soldiers from the British, Swedish and Lithuanian armed forces, but according to the Florida National Guard's Maj. SJaime Rios, the jump was an important part of il state'son going relaii:ln lhi:, withtheGu)a.ina mniliar).

"Wit the partnership, we are trying to provide support to Guyana and other al- lied countries in the Western Hemi'- sphere," Rios said. '"This opens doors and enhances relationships with the coun- tries that areinvolved in the partnership." POLICE BRIEFS from page A-27 made it their goal to reduce crime and to protect Clay County shoppers from crim- inals who would target them in this area. Detectives from the Stieet Crimes Unit will join deputies from the Traffic Unit, the COPS Unit, Patrol and Auxil- iary. On any given day between now and Christmas eight to sixteen additional deputies will be working this operation. This is a proactiveinitiative. Deputies will be in the parking.lots of the stores and malls plus on foot inside the stores. In addition, a command post will be staged nearby on Wells Road so involved- deputies can meet for briefings and collec- tion of paperwork when arrests are made. Ajail transport van will be staged at the command post location when necessary. As part of Operation Christmas Lights arrestshave already been made this week f6r trespassing, shoplifting, and criminal traffic violations. Numerous traffic citations have been written by involved deputies on drivers on Wells Road and the roadways in and out of the shopping areas. .-- .

By Horace Davis, Staff hda.vis@jcpgroup.com FLEMING ISLAND The Golden Ea- gles pulled off a three-game sweep of their annual tripleheader against the Clay Blue Devils on Saturday, Dec. 4. The first game featured a overtime thriller won by the junior varsity Golden Eagle team when Dane Arfman sank a basket on a pass from Alan Nicotra for a 51-50 win as Clay's last second shot attempt missed the mark. The Lady Eagles then defeated the Lady Devils 41-30 in a defensive strug- gle that saw both teams combine for eight total points in the opening quar- ter (Clay 5 -3). However, Fleming Island guard Emily Walton began to heat up as she drilled 4 three-point baskets to swing the game the Lady Eagles way. Clay missed an early opportunity to jump out on Fleming Island, the Lady Ea- gles first basket did not come until two minutes remained and it came in the form of a three-point basket by Walton. In spite of the cold shooting by Flem- ing Island, Clay was no better. They "TuNF PHOTO BN HOR CE D t'. missed various second chance baskets Fleming Island fired slightly better, a and shot poorly from the charity stripe.

Burden perused down her bench and called freshman Sarah Marlar's number and what a choice she made. Marlar immediately responded with a three-point basket to close the third quar- ter and give the Lady Raiders a 34-33. "Sarah (Marlar) really hit some key shots during that spurt. She's only a fresh- man and sometimes her nerves get going but tonight she responded", said Burden. That first basket Marlar hit wasn't her last, she drilled three more 3-pointers and hit four of four free throws for 16 points in a frantically played fourth quar- ter to spark Orange Park (4-4) to the 52- 45 win and end their three game losing streak. "We needed this win tonight, we had lost three straight and I sensed the girls spirits were getting down. This was a big win", added Burden. When the Raiders faced St Augustine on Nov. 22 in their first match up, the Lady Yellow Jackets had their way. They controlled Christine Williams by holding her scoreless and they won the game by double-digits. Early on it appeared this game may go the same way, Orange Park missed their opening five shot attempts, missed two free throws and turned the ball over nu- merous times against the St Augustine press. The Raiders did not get their first bas- ket of the game until a Williams 3-point- er with 5:21 remaining in the quarter and by that time they trailed 8-3. Along with Williams and Kita Grover on the floor Coach Burden mixed up her starting lineup with three new starters that included Marisa Defeo, Kristalyn Quarterman and point guard Kayla Ross. "I decided to change the lineup around after watching film and practices, I told the girls tonight we have to raise our level off play and focus on defense, re- LADY RAIDERS continued on page B-4 STAFF PHOTOS BY HORACE DAVIS Freshman Sarah Marlar hits a late free throw to seal the win.

LADY RAIDERS from page B-3 bounding and high intensity", said Bur- den. Although Orange Park did a better job on the boards and defensively, they still trailed 14-8 after one, in large part because of their inability to handle the full court press. However, the Raiders closed the half with a 14-5 run to close the deficit to 23- 22. Quarterman hit two jump shots in the lane and Williams drilled a long-range SjuImper togoalong with four free throL1 s and the Raiders outscored St. Augustine 14-9 in the quarter. Orange Park's defense became more assertive in the decisive second hal f: rhey ran their own full court press, played ag- gressive man-to-man defense and did a better job on the defensive boards. "The girls stepped it up defensively in the second half, they pulled together and made things happen", added Burden. Marlar's raining 3-point shots along with baskets from Williams turned a one- point deficit into a 46-36 lead but the Raiders had to hold for dear life in the final 1:58 in the game. The turnover bug reappeared to the Raiders as the Yellow Jackets went to an all out press that forced turnovers and St. Augustine's Karen Wilkins converted into 6 fourth quarter points. Wilkins scored a team-high 19 points and the YellowJackets cut the Raiders 10 point lead into a 3-point deficit with less than one minute to play. However Marlar and Williams com- bined on six free throws down the stretch to get the win. "Yes there were some tense moments at the end. Overall I was happy with our play but we must take better care of the ball, turnovers have been the source of our problems so far this season. But again it was a big win and hopefully it will give us momentum going into the district games against Mandarin and Buchholz", added Burden.

In all Clay shot just forty-eight per- cent (14 of 29) and Fleming Island did not do much better shooting fifty-two percent (10 of 19) from the free throw line. However, in the end the Golden Ea- gles made their final one and the Blue Devils did not. Fleming Island guard Will Frey sank two overtime foul shots with just over one-minute left while Clay senior for- ward Damon Pifer made one of two with 0:39 left. .

Fleming Island had a chance to win the game on the final possession of reg- ulation time but center Justin Stokes missed two close opportunities and the game went to overtime. The Eagles improved to 2-3 (1-1) and Coach Ivin Gunder liked the resiliency his team showed. "I think this game was a character builder, the young guys are starting to grow up", he said. Gunder and Fleming Island are play- ing a 5A schedule for the first time and will have tough games to follow but he was pleased to get to the win. "Hopefully this is a big confidence booster going into consecutive district games, I told the guys play tough and stay focused. We wanted to make one defen- sive stop at a time and knock down our free throws in the end. I knew Clay would make a second half run so the guys had to be tough and hunker down", he added.

It is with this economic trend that more people are opting to invest in one of the most enduring forms of equity: real estate. Nevertheless, according to the 2000 census, there are more than 35 million families who rent. Experts say that while many families are interested in home ownership, a major obstacle they face is the down payment. Enclaves Group Inc., a spin-off of N.Y.- based-real estate corporation Homes For America Holdings Inc., has created a "lease and own" program called Your Home, which the company devised to enable renters to enter the homeowner market. "The Your Home Program is simple to understand and accessible to all Ameri- cans," said Mark MacFarlane, chief operat- ing officer of Enclaves Group. "This creative program has no down payment and offers a structured purchase plan that creates home ownership equity for the working family." In fact, MacFarlane noted that while the demand for housing has spurred the con- struction of new homes, traditional financing methods have not expanded to accommo- date the needs of many ordinary families. With no down payment required, the ability to accumulate "Good Resident Cred- its" and build substantial equity over a pe- riod of 36 months, MacFarlane says the program taps into a market that to date has received little or no attention: working families from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds who have not been able to overcome the obstacles to homeownership. "Enclaves is the first and only home builder to target this unserved market," said Robert MacFarlane, chairman and chief executive officer of Home For Amer- ica Holdings. "It's a simple process what many families are currently paying in rent can now immediately apply for equity for their own piece of the American dream."

PHOTO SPECIAL TO CLAY TODAY Families who would traditionally rent a home because of lack of equity now have another avenue to home- ownership thanks to Enclaves Group Inc.'s Your Home program. Guaranteed-sale program gives owners peace of mind Special to Clay Today (NewsUSA) Even in the hottest 'real es- tate markets, not every house sells quick- ly. This presents numerous problems for owners who need to move fast. Making an offer on a house but not being able to sell the one they currently own is a common and stressful predica- ment sellers face. One real estate company, however, of- fers peace of mind with a unique "guar- anteed home sale" program. ERA Real Estate provides the Sellers Security Plan, a program that allows sell- ers the freedom to buy the home they need without waiting for their current home to sell. If the house remains on the market without selling for 180 days, ERA agrees to buy it. The already popular pro- gram has been upgraded recently to make it faster and easier to enroll in the plan. The plan, the only one of its kind, comes with multiple guarantees to protect the seller. ERA offers an upfront purchase price Fi Your Place n te Sun of at least 90 percent of the home's ap- praised value. Additionally, if ERA later sells the prop- erty for a profit, that money comes back to the original owner. But if the company takes a loss on the home, the owner is not. responsible for those expenses. A consumer can choose, to take the program a step further with the ERA Mortgage Equity Advance Option, which allows qualified buyers to borrow against equity in their home. Sellers may use up to $500,000 of the available equity from the ERA offer to purchase and close on a new home in advance of selling their house. Therefore, the down payment on a new home is no longer dependent on the .proceeds from the old one. The guaranteed purchase program eliminates the need for temporary hous- ing arrangements such as storage, apart- ments and other expensive measures that can drag on indefinitely until- a house sells. This can mean tremendous savings for families relocating long distance. The qualifications to take part in the program are minimal. The home.must be a single-family, primary residence, with an average appraised value of at least $50,000 and not more than $750,000. The seller's costs for participation in- clude the same expenses due in any home sale, including the sales commission, clos- ing costs, a home inspection and an ap- praisal.

DuBosar noted that Wednesday is sen- ior citizen discount day. Tin n ing to his new car inventory, Grif- fin ran through an impressive list of cars and their attributes. The newJeep Commander, a seven-pas- senger vehicle, is already on the floor. It has three stinroofs, one in front and two in back. "It is new and exciting," Griffin says. GRIFFEN continued on page C-2 DECEMBER 8-DECEMBER 14,2005 EDITION A SPECIAL WEEKLY ADVERTISING SECTION OF CLAY TODAY I IMF SectillonU -C C UT--Y-De--- _r GRIFFEN from page C-1 "It is elegant and is a feel-you're-in- control vehicle." The Chrysler 300C is extremely popu- lar. With its VVT engine, it changes from four -cylinder to eight and back, as conditions require. The result is impres- sive gas mileage. The Chrysler SRT8 is incredibly fast, going from 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. The Crossfire, too, is a popular entry. Griffin says his dealership is headquar- ters for convertibles and cites the PT Cruiser and the Chrysler Sebring. . "Convertibles," he said, say fun in the sun. Let the wind blow through your hair and love life." The Pacifica is a combination of SUV/station wagon. Griffin says it is rich looking, rides rich and gets great mileage. Turning to theJeep, Griffin said he had a little trivia. The name 'Jeep" arose during World War II when it was introduced into the military. At that time, it was called a general-purpose vehicle and, as military people do worldwide, it soon was abbrevi- ated to GP, which was pronounced 'Jeep." Griffin cited the "inimitable" Wrangler. TheJeep Liberty gets great gas mileage- and maneuverability. The Grand Cherokee, he said, set the stan- dard of SUVs. It is plush, comfortable and responsive to whatever the need. It has great prestige plus great utility. All their cars, Griffin says, are available for test drive without obligation. Buyers also are conducted on a tour of the service de- partment. "We are a mom-and-pop dealership," Griffin says. "We want people to feel comfortable." The sales floor is open 9 a.m. to 9 pm. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5p.m. Sunday. Griffin noted that there is always a fi- nance person on the floor to help cus- tomers with their purchase. Customers and potential customers may visit the dealership at www.frankgriffin.com. There, the seeker will find the dealership's entire inventory of new and used vehicles. They will also be able to make ap- pointments for service, inquire as to possible recalls, apply for employ- ment, view a digital brochure on par- ticular autos and apply for credit. "The web site has nearly everything in a non-threatening environment where they may be studied at leisure and then come buy," said Griffin. "We try to make an auto purchase as consumer friendly as possible. We are all consumers." a N e Vehicle p WE'RE CLEARING THE DECKS OU REMAINING 295s Come in, Choose 2005 Jeep or Chrysler.

While most roadside safe- ty kits contain at least one traditional in- cendiary device, they may not be the most harmless way of attracting help. With burn temperatures of 5,000 de- grees and a laundry list of toxic chemi- cals. [he name safetys flare" may be an -\) n.oron because the0 are neit- hei af nor en\ i onmientallh friendly. Moreover. road flares, if used im- properly, can easily ignite gasoline and burn the clothes or skin of even the most experienced user.. The Keystone Group, ..based in Niwot, Colo., has introduced a more family-fiieindl solution: ian alternative to the contentional flare called FlareAle rt a bat reri -operated flare that can be seen for miles around from both the air and ground. SteveJones, president of the Keystone Group, first marketed the FlareAlert to police and fire departments, which have bought tensof thousands of the devices. Now the company is offering the prod- uct to the general public.- Millions of drivers could benefit from having emergency flares. AAA, for instance, responds to more than 28 million calls for road service annually. The FlareAlert contains 12 high-out- put light emitting diodes that give it a bright, non-toxic glow and, unlike its other battery-operated counterparts, 'i.r..r i ti ws USA Thi, ,s ithe r aiTlo,,eles tHare. has a built-in magnetic base that can be mounted on a vehicle in case of an acci- dent or attached to a mailbox incase emergency personnel need to find a house quickly. Thede ice uses two AAbatteries and has a battery life of approximately 20 hours in flash mode and six to 10 hours in steady-on mode before significant dimming will occur. The bulb life is about 10 years or 100,000 hours. W\oi i ed about the flare getting crushed while ,n the road? Recent inde- pendent testing revealed that it can with- stand more than 4,500 pounds of direct pressure. Considering the weight of a ve- hicle is distributed over four tires, the FlareAlert is able to withstand being run over by a 10,000-pound vehicle. In addition, because FlareAlert is non-flammable, it will not scorch the pavement or leave behind any debris, making for a more environmentally friendly safety mechanism.

Stylish trucking with attitude, 2005 Chevrolet SSR pickup truck By Ken Chester, Jr. Motor News Media Corporation Brash, bold and different, the rear-drive Chevrolet SSR with its retractable hardtop has been turning heads as the ulti- mate boulevard cruiser since its debut in 2003. With a unique exterior look inspired by the 1947-1953 model year Ad- vanced Design Chevy lineup of pickup trucks, the 2005 model year features a host of en- hancements and upgrades to keep the concept fresh and in- terest high. A partial listing of what is new includes the fol- lowing: a more powerful, next generation LS2 6.0L short- block V-8; Corvette's four- speed-automatic transmission; an optional close-ratio, short throw six-speed manual gear- box; new engine cover, retuned ' 7.' .. -'":^ .^^*^^ ^-y it steering system for more precise on-center feel and reduced low-speed effort; revised exhaust routing (quasi-dual exhaust); self- supporting hood struts; sound system with MP3 playback capability and CD player; auxiliary gauge package and windbreak. While the standard gear- box for the SSR is a heavy- duty four-speed automatic with overdrive, a six-speed manual equipped with a larger limited slip differen- tial is also available. On the road, the strong and power- ful LS2 V8 bolted to the standard automatic trans- mission is strong and re- sponsive, yet mannerable in almost every way at speed. Its throaty exhaust CRUISIN'CLAY COUNTY December 8, 2005 Section C-6 December 8, 2005 CRUISIN' CLAY COUNTY Section C-7 note is the kind of music that makes people look and earns an admiring glance from a longing motorist. The foundation of the SSR consists of solid body-on-frame construction -- an upper steel unibody mounted on a boxed frame. Fully hydroformed steel side rails provide the frame with strength and stiffness, relatively low weight and precision fits. Eight cross members boost structural strength while contributing to a smooth ride,, exact handling and reduced noise and vibration levels. The robust frame serves as the basis for the sus- pension hardware which consists of upper and lower control arms in front and a five-link live axle suspen- sion at the rear. The rear monotube shock absorbers are mounted outside of the frame, providing improved body and wheel control. Steel coil springs and a micro cellular urethane auxiliary spring enhance ride com- fort and stability during fully loaded conditions. Inside, the cabin is based on Chevrolet's twin cockpit approach to interior design. A horizontal cross- car bar and body-colored accents pull the exterior design cues inside. The satin chrome aluminum look used on elements of the SSR's exterior con- tinues on the interior door trim and instrument panel bezels. The cleanly styled instrument panel contains gauges with bold graphics and a sim- ple three-dial design for all climate controls. The power retractable hardtop is a multi-piece unit that re- tracts into a convenient storage well located between the passenger cabin and the cargo box. A hard, sealed cover completes the vehicle's stream- lined look. Quick vehicle stats torque at 4,400 rpm.

TV from page C-5 there's good news: On-screen entertain- ment is rapidly expanding to. automobiles. According toJ.D. Power & Associates, 28 percent of new 2003 full- size sport utility vehicles were equipped with a passenger entertainment system, and 46 percent of consumers .are inter- ested in adding rear-seat entertainment to their next car. Because satellite's broad coverage area reaches not only planes but also automo- biles in motion throughout the United States, live satellite television is a new, fast- growing trend in vehicle entertainment. . It's made possible by companies like Rhode Island-based KVH Industries. S- KVH Industries has created the first in-motion satellite television system, called the TracVision A5, especially for use in passenger vehicles. The system contains a rugged, low-profile antenna and a compact satellite receiver. The TracVision A5 system can sup- port multiple video screens and re- ceivers and is designed to be a part of a versatile entertainment system that can include DVD players, VCRs and console game systems. It is compatible with Di- recTV service; KVH plans to also offer a Dish Network-compatible receiver in the future. The system is available at more than 800 U.S. retail locations and costs around $2,295. The monthly satellite service fee varies depending on the package select- ed but is similar to home programming. Visit www.kvh.com for more information.

MINIUSA.COM -= ~ a ~ ~ ---- --------- (NewsUSA) Every time you start your car, the dashboard warning lights glow to greet you and fade away after a few seconds. But if they stay on, there may be a major problem that needs to be dealt with right away. "Motorists need to be aware of the crit- ical'big three' warning lights," said John Nielsen, director of AAA Automo- tive. "They include those that monitor engine oil pressure, engine coolant tem- perature and the vehicle charging sys- tem. To reduce the chances of vehicle damage and/or a roadside breakdown, these warning lights require prompt and proper action when they illuminate." AAA provides the following guide- lines on what to do if these lights come on: Engine oil pressure: This warning light commonly displays an oil can symbol or the word "OIL." This means that the engine has lost its supply of pressurized lubricating oil and severe engine damage or catastrophic failure can occur within seconds. If the oil pressure warning light- comes on, pull off the road immediately, shut off the engine and have your vehi- cle towed to a repair facility. Unless you are in an extremely dangerous situation, do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Engine coolant temperature: This light commonly displays a thermome- ter symbol or the logo "TEMP." When the coolant temperature light illumi- nates, the engine temperature has ex- ceeded the safe maximum. Until the rise in coolant temperature is reversed, the engine will suffer accelerated wear. If the increase in temperature contin- ues, major engine damage or cata- strophic failure will result. If the coolant temperature warning light comes on, quickly assess the situ- ation. Steam or liquid coolant coming from under the hood is a clear indica- tion of overheating or a leak. Pull off the road at the first safe op- portunity and call for assistance. Be- cause boiling coolant can cause severe burns, do not attempt to open the hood in the presence of excessive steam and never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Charging system: This light com- monly displays a battery symbol or the logo '"ALT" or "GEN" and means that the electrical system is no longer being supplied with power by the alternator. Depending on the electrical de- mands of your vehicle and the reserve capacity of its battery, you will gener- ally have at least 20 minutes of daylight driving time before voltage drops to the point at which the ignition system will no longer function. . If the charging system warning light comes on, turn off all unnecessary elec- trical accessories and drive to the nearest repair facility to have the vehicle checked.
