Musician Willie Green with local players Built for Comfort featuring guitarist lack Corcoran, drummer Ken Nasta and bassist Steve Millei, prosid- ed a live music backdrop to announce the return of the three-day blues festival, which has grown into the country's largest, free outdoor music event. "This is great to come in and hear Willie," Jacksonville Beach Mayor Fland Sharp said Wednesday at George's NMusic the event's title sponsor. "The blues festival is sort of our signature event here in Jacksonville Beach," Sharp added. "I was on the Cit Council in 1991 when we figured out we wanted to do this and the rest is history. It's been a great event for us and will be in the future." Festival founder and execu- tive director Sam V heal said join- ing forces with George's Music also helped spring the festival to greater success.

Green performs at 2:15 p.m. Sunday, April 2, on the west stage. by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF WRITER A crushed shell walking path, canoe launch, wildlife overlooks and elevated wood- en boardwalks will soon be constructed as part of the Cradle Creek nature preserve in Jacksonville Beach. The City Council Monday approved a bid not to exceed $793,300 to develop the 43- acre parcel of environmental- ly sensitive land off Fairway Lane. "Cradle Creek is a real important project," City Manager George Forbes said. "It's an area that was going to be developed into home sites and the city worked out a deal with the city of Jacksonville to purchase the land for $1.2 million which is probably worth three to four times that now and turn it into a preserve." Jacksonville Beach original- ly negotiated the purchase of approximately 3.6.5 acres from the Trust for Public Lands in August 2001 to stop the imminent development of a residential subdivision. A state grant from the Florida Communities Trust (FCTi funded a portion of the by JEFFREY MINTON STAFF IURITER The Neptune Beach City Council Monday OK'd a speed hump policy for the city but already plans to discuss possible changes to the policy later this month. The policy, approved in a 3-1 vote, will govern how the city determines whether to install the traffic calming devices along residential streets. In the policy: The city will need an initial request from at least five resi- dents of different households who want a speed hump on their street. The city would then petition the "effected residents" along the the street. If at least 55 per- cent of the the residents favor the speed hump, tie city will direct staff to conduct a thor- ough traffic study of the number of cars which travel the street $1.2 million land acquisition. In January 2003, the City Council approved the pur- chase of an adjacent 6.7-acre parcel for inclusion to the preserve, named for the geo- graphic waterway spawned by Pablo Creek. A grant from the Florida Inland Navigation District iFINDi will cover S296,4"0 of the construction costs. Construction time is esti- mated at six months. Forbes said the addition of Cradle Creek will help market Jacksonville Beach as a desti- nation point. The park will be included as a Blue Water trail to allow kayak and canoe enthusiasts to travel by water between the three Beaches communities. The preserve will also fea- ture interpretive signage at key points along the trail detailing the area's pristine ecosystem. Environmental education classes will also be conducted annually by trained educators or resource professionals for school and civic groups. "It's a preserve not an active park," Forbes said. "It's a beautiful asset to the community." and how fast they are going., lf the petition fails, a new petition for speed humps can not be brought up for one year. *Petition results, trafhc study results, cost estimates and rec- ommendations from the City Manager and Police Chief will then be presented to the City Council at a workshop meeting for consideration. If the council comes to a consensus to install a speed hump on the street, the issue will be moved to the coun- cil's next regular meeting for approval. *Prior to installation, the loca- tion of the speed hump must be reviewed by the Police Department and Fire Department. If approved, the installation of the hump will be scheduled and paid for by the city "as funds are available." The speed humps are estimated to See HUMPS, A-3 Both sides claim victory in Surfrider ruling by LAURA FOWLER STAFF I%'RITER A circuit judge in St. Augustine has ruled on the Ponte Vedra beach access law- suit against St. Johns County, with both sides declaring victo- ry. Ruling in favor of Surfrider Foundation, Circuit Judge Michael Travnor ordered the county to begin within six months removing any obstruc- tions in several of the 14 beach accesses along Ponte Vedra Boulevard. But the county is not required to replace about 75 parking spaces in front of Ponte Vedra Inn & Club because the removal of the parking was in compliance with the Ponte Vedra Boulevard parking ban passed in 2003. "This is an obLious victory for the county," Senior Assistant County Attorney Laura Barrow said Tuesday. "The court recognized that the county is doing an awful lot to increase and enhance beach access. We are very happy with the victory." Surfrider attorney Deborah Andrews, on the other hand, said Tra\-nor's ruling is just what they were hoping for: an order for the county to comply with its own Beach Management Plan, approved in luly 2004. "I think it's a great day for the Surfriders," Andrews said Monday. "They [the county] didn't have any particular plan to clear the fully obstructed accesses, so this order clearly tells the county, 'Open the obstructed accesses,' she said. The Surfrider Foundation is a national organization that works to assure the public's access to beaches. Meanwhile, Traynor has ordered both attorneys to schedule a hearing to reconsid- er the validity of a parking ban on Ponte Vedra Boulevard. The original claim that the ban was discriminatory, allow- ing arbitrary exceptions for parking along the roadway, was thrown out in 2004-1 by Traynor. Surfrider attorney James Woodruff filed a motion in February to rehear the parking ban in light of county staff publicly acknowledging that the ban is unconstitutional for allowing such exceptions. Both Woodruff and Andrews said they think Traynor's wish to schedule a hearing on the topic as opposed to his flat- ly denying the motion is a good sign. A hearing has been sched- uled for March 23. The next step is to determine whether Traynor's ruling will change the county's timeline for improving beach access in Ponte Vedra, according to Dave Williams, aquatics superin- tendent. The county's Beach Management Plan, which was written by Williams, calls for six beach walkovers to eventu- ally be built in Ponte Vedra, adding to the two existing walkovers. The plan also identifies encroachments and obstruc- tions at several of the 14 beach access points mentioned in Surfrider's lawsuit. Williams said in December the county began identifying obstructions and notifying property owners that they would have to be removed. Under the county's imple- mentation plan, any encroach- ing structures and vegetation would need to be cleared by some time in June, Williams said. "It [Traynor's ruling] might not affect anything that we're doing," Williams said. The county also applied for a grant to build about 20 walkovers throughout the county several of which would be built in Ponte Vedra. Williams said he will find out this month whether the grant was awarded to St. lohns County. If not, Williams said, the Beach Services Department will take the $200,000 that the county would have matched for the grant and "build what we can." That could mean "anywhere from one to eight" walkovers, Williams said, depending on the length and location of each. The longer the walkover, the more expensive it is, he said. Williams added that he did- n't know whether the beach accesses in Ponte Vedra would take priority over others throughout the county because of Travnor's ruling.

Veal said the. 2006 festival will commemorate blues as the birth of music in America and rock n' roll is the child of the blues. Blues: In the Schools program returns Cont. from A-i : have been doing for the last nine years without the support of George's Music," Veal said. George Hines, president and CEO of George's Music and longtime fan of the blues, said music has always been an, important part, of his life. A musician since the age of 6, Hines said it is important that children are exposed at an early age to the magic of the blues. The Blues in the Schools pro- gram will target six elementary and high schools to teach the students about the history and principles of blues music. "Blues music really originat- ed-in America and its a unique art form. We, started it and want to take some credit for it," Hines said. "We want to teach our children some of the: positive aspects of blues, music." : Green is also active in bring- ing the blues to kids. His CD "Willie Green: Livin' The Blues LiVe" features school children. "I've been working with schools for about a month now. I'n trying to help them 'do the best they can and learn :them to be like me," he said. Veal said the 2006 festival will be "rockin' the blues" to commemorate blues as the birth of music in America and rock n' roll is the child of the blues. "We've got a phenomenal lineup this year," Veal said "We are giving a nod to the evolutionary process of this .indigenous musical- art form. This year you will see some performances that will have a great rock influence of the blues." Some of the other outer festi- val activities will include the 3rd annual Surfing the Blues pro am, a 5K beach run and golf tournament. Paul West, who heads the surfing the blues contest, said the $5,000 purse donated by Aqua East surf shop is one of' the largest pro bank offered in the state. "This is such a wonderful community event that high- lights really what Jax Beach is all about which is the beach, the sand, the ocean and having a good time in a family envi-' ronment," W\Vest said. This year will also pay tribute to Dru "Dr. Hector" Lombar, who died last year of a heart attack and Dan Amico of returning presenting sponsor Sound Advice, who lost his bat- tle with a rare form of cancer. Both men, Veal said, will be honored for their contribu- tions to the festival. Lombar and Dr. Hector and the Groove Injectors performed an acoustic set last year on the west stage. ' The Dr. Hector Blues Tribute will begin at 4:15 p.m. Sunday on the west stage where Lombar last performed at the festival with Miller and Corcoran. "We want to remember Dru's efforts and his work and his. talents and his genius," Veal said. "There will be a whole host of blues artists who will be coming in to participate in this tribute." Amico will be honored for his efforts with the, first Dan Amico Memorial Bike Ride which will leave Saturday morning from the SeaWalk Pavilion south to Mickler's Landing and back. "It will be a real humble bicycling event this year," Veal, said. "We hope to grow it to be an annual part of Springing the Blues. The official after-party blues jam will be held at the Atlantic Theatre on Atlantic Boulevaid ."when we have to go down at . 10 p.m. 'at the SeaWValk Pavilion," Veal said, to comply with the city's noise ordinance. The southern blues kitchen Niojo Barbeque is the festival's new official'ba rbecue provider. A new location will open in The Boulevard commercial complex under construction on Beach Boulevard before the InUtacoastal Waterwavy bridge.. ."Where else can you go and have great food, great music, great people and you get to, watch people surf right there. on the ocean at the same time," Hines said. "We think this year is going to be the best ever." Humps: More discussion March 20 Cont. from A-1 cost roughly $700 if installed by the city's Public Works or approximately $2,000 if installed by an outside contrac- tor, according to city staff. SPriority scheduling may be arranged for residents willing to pay half the cost of the speed hump installation. The policy stipulates that a speed hump must be installed for at least one year before its removal can be considered unless unanticipated safety problems anse. But some councilors Monday said they think that is not enough time and want to change the policy to require at least a two or three year waiting period to remove a hump. The council has scheduled to discuss the issue at its March 20 workshop meeting.

SWork is scheduled to be complete in approximately six months. The preserve will be a welcome addition to the Beach's recreational offerings. The property abuts the Intracoastal Waterway and will provide nature paths, as well as canoe and kayak launch sites. Accessed from 15th Street South, the tract of land will provide the public with an opportunity to explore wood- ed areas and easily utilize waterfront property for recre- ational use. It is good that the contract has been awarded, as the community has waited a long time for the park to become a reality. Bring on the work crews. M in n two-year terms. ' Maintain two-year terms To the editor: It is disappointing.to watch the Atlantic Beach Commission half-stepping on the subject of replacing at-large commission seats with single-member repre- sentation. It's almost as if the November 2005 election, in which the two incumbents who favored at- large representation were defeated, had not occurred.i Proponents of bree and fair elections in Atlantic Beach are not asking the present commis- sion to alter the electoral sys- tem; We are asking the commis- sion to put the question oh the ballot for the electorate to deter- mine. Mayor Don Wolfson's recent gambit, to assign commission- ers to quadrants in the city on a rotating basis, is what is known in Tallahassee as "loving to death".the.subject. .. If the electoral quc.'stion is not. on the ballot in N6vember 2006, it could be another three years before the west side of Atlantic Beach actually has rep- resentation at City Hall assum- ing that single-member districts are approved by the electorate. A fair and free election is a political question that doesn't require the same energy or funding as zoning questions, which presently envelop the commission. Only the transition phase for electoral reform requires research and planning, and I offer the following plan that maintains what is good about the present system and results in equal representation for all areas of Atlantic Beach: First, maintain the current two-year terms for the mayor, which keeps this office sensitive to shifting political winds. Second, maintain staggered, four-year terms 'for the other four commissioners, which keeps some continuity in policy and institutional history. Boundary lines for the four vot- ing precincts can determine boundary lines for commission seats until the 2010 Census. In 2007, Dezmond Waters must step down because of term limits and Sylvia Simmons will face reelection, if she chooses to -run again- These seats-couldbe the .transition seats th; t.ao.t uld belong to voters west' o'f Mayport Road and voters in the southeast corner of Atlantic Beach from 2007 onward. Jamie Fletcher and. NMike Bomo would provide represen- tation to the remaining voters as at-large commissioners until 2009 when their seats would be up for grabs as district seats.

It's a pretty long haul from the Jacksonville Beaches to that island, but even so, some of us Beachniks managed to make the Hemingway connection onsite long ago. In 1983, I interviewed Clara Jensen, the now-deceased ownero/perator of Pete's Bar, the noted imbibery in Neptune Beach. It was for a Leader article I produced on the popular water hole's 50th anniversary. Clara told me about being invited, along with two other Beaches women, Bernice Scott and Lucy Windham, to the 1960 Ernest Hemingway Fishing Tournament in Cuba. Here's what I wrote about that in the Nov. 9, 1983 Leader: "They met both the famous author and Cuban president Fidel Castro, and Clara caught h.aut-marln-A.iich tug-. - gery.. a JIeadline in, .th.e.

Clara had photos taken of them with the two VIPs, and I remember at the time having a flashback of a strange, relat- ed incident that took place when my wife and I were in Cuba on vacation in 1956. We were strolling down a .. Havana street and came to a large storefront, which looked is if it had once been a new- car showroom. It was empty then, however, but I noticed -t'iack.

Leader Thomas Wood President and Publisher II: VL LIL~ d t~JkJ% ,1aVe v, poVit Viewpoin ts The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader Page 5A More letters to the editor: Guana editorial should rely on fact, not opinions To the editor: I was shocked to read .a recent editorial advocating the so called land swap offer- ing by M r. Peyton., '. I.. ` Shocked because there are so few actual facts on this offer available. Your reporters seem to: believe everything they hear at meetings in the area, not the least. are those called by advocacy groups such as the Ponte Vedra High School Coalition. Your articles are' long on quotes but short on factual analysis. I believe editorial opinion should rely on fact. My specific' comments are these. It is not clear whether Mr. Peyton's land is designated conservation land or not. If it is it might be considered a valid swap. If not, as a letter writer has stated, his heirs might well develop the land in the future. If this is true why not simply give the land to St. Johns County and avoid all the fuss? In either event it is not an. even swap. The Guana land is much more valuable in terms of its overall impact on the environment in the rest of the Guana. Did you investigate this before you took your position?- Why Ponte Vedra residents want the high school in the Guana as opposed to the Davis Park site is a mystery. One or two miles can't possi- bly make a valid difference. Both sites are in Palm Valley and its long term identifica- tion will most certainly be as such. The only reason I can see for this thrust to use the Guana is snobbery and elit- ism. You might' well have investigated the reasons before you reached your con- clusion that the onset of "The rape of the Guana" is OK. The exact location of the proposed school is a mystery. What piece of land is "behind the Publix?" Where will 'the entrances be? Onto 210 or. Mickler? How close will the actual school property be to 210? I don't believe any work has been done on that issue. Has anyone given any thought to the traffic issue? The rotary is already congest- ed during rush hours so a Mickler entrance would be pretty tough to take. Would it not be better to place the high school in a non developed area? Sawmill Lakes would be very negative- ly impacted by use of the Guana property. Again, Davis Park seems best. The board wants the new high school in 2008. Use of the Guana land would likely be drawn out for years because of lawsuits to prevent ceding such land. Those in favor dismiss the threat of lawsuits. They are, in my opinion, very wrong and can St. John's County afford the delay? This in fact hurts the very children the Coalition is trying to protect. Trust me there will be at least one lawsuit ,and I suspect many more. I can't really judge if Mr. Peyton is being very generous to the people in Ponte Vedra ornot. Facts other than what you publish are lacking. For sure, the property would be removed from county" tax roles and there would likely be. a charitable deduction and maybe a capital loss. In any event his contributing to the rape of the Guana hurts far more people than it helps. , There are many who are ready and willing to rape the Guana, for example, the County to widen 210, and Bruce McGuire's desire to widen A1A. Have you consid- ered precedent in your ill advised editorial? I urge you to gather some facts and rethink your editori- al. The Guana is a gift and I hate to see a few selfish and ill guided people ruin it for all.' I believe your paper is han- dling this whole subject very poorly. You are not objective 'or even professional. Another publication has #done a' far better and fairer job., Too bad you and Bill Fehling, part of the Ponte Vedra social set, are'less dis- cerning. I'd also be curious as to who your publisher actual- ly is. William G. Muir Ponte Vedra Beach Notion of Guana runoff doesn't hold water To the editor: I fully support the use of the Guana preserve pine farm for the new high school in Ponte Vedra. I have heard the arguments that the use of this property would set a precedent for fur- ther encroachments on the Guana. This 50 acres, (1 was actually firmly in support of the original 100-acre footprint) which would be replaced by Mr. Peyton's 50 acres, repre- sents about 1/2 of a percent of the total Guana. The notion that the entire watershed would be affected because of runoff from this 50 acres, if you'll pardon the expression, doesn't hold water. Our entire community is laced with retention ponds and drainage features that control water runoff. My personal opinion is that a number of the people who oppose this on environmental issues are using this as a subterfuge because they don't want a high school in the community.. Although I am retired and with grown children living elsewhere, and would derive no immediate benefit from this location, I feel a high school in the community would give this unincorporated neighbor- hood a sense of unity and the school facilities could be used for many other purposes that would benefit our neighbor- hoods. I would compare the with- holding of a scant edge of this natural area, on the basis of these environmental. issues, to the absurdity of not allowing us to drill for oil in Alaska in a very small part of ANWAR. The notion that this would be a travesty and would adversely affect the environ- ment or would set a precedent is using an emotion-based argument in place of good logic and common sense. Further, the notion that a small group of individuals, or an environmental organization like the Sierra Club or others of their ilk, could unduly influ- ence a decision making body is repugnant to me and many others in the community. I urge you to give this viable and sensible solution full con- sideration and use this proper- ty for the benefit of our chil- dren and our community. William G.

Visit us at AllensJewelers.com To the editor: A letter to the editor in the March 3 Leader came from a man who claimed to be a biolo- gist. He used the example of University of California placing a school next to a protected habitat. How it would be a bor- der guard and how the athletic facilities would be a natural buffer. He likens this to the desire of some few to put a high school in the Guana. Not I repeat next to it, but in it. In other words, he advocate des troing 50,to 100 acres of a preservation area to what? Save it ? Protect it? He also calls this area of the Guana "parkland." It is not parkland, it is a wildlife preser- vation area. Which, I must remind you, allows hunting in season. Is that what you want to expose children to? I have read his letter and the others. Most distort the facts as they have for the past eight or 10 years that one group or the other has tried to grab off that land. :,Get over,,it: many ofus. care for the creatures that live there. Also, that land does not belong to St. Johns County or to Ponte Vedra but to all the people of Florida. You got the land east of Davis Park that you cried about for so long. Be grateful, say thank' you and go away. Herb, please don't do us any favors. Keep your land. Mary Kohnke Ponte Vedra Beach Conservation area-turned high school wrong To the editor: As a 50-plus year resident of the area, I feel I must say some- thing about the high school debate. I think it is wrong to try to take any conservation area for a high school. Some people see planted pines and think, "Cut them down and build some- thing." I see these trees and think of the pileated wood- peckers we so enjoy and realize they only nest in old growth pine trees. I see these uplands as one of the few areas for the, gopher turtle to burrow. I see this area as the place where all the wold turkeys that the Wild Turkey Federation released a few years ago seem to want to congre- gate. The food plot behind the iron gate on Mickler Road is full of deer tracks, hopefully keeping them off the road. Today, my son and his friends saw five bald eagles in a tree on the Intracoastal. With all the clear-cutting going on in Nocatee, most all the animals will be looking for refuge in the Guana, or getting run over on the roads. Talking to my son's friends, students.and recent graduates, none seem to care about the drive to Nease. Its just part of the daily commute. Davis Park would be better, but don't take part of the conservation area. It seems like the grandpar- ents and some of the parents are just not conservation- minded enough to realize what we have here. Seventy-five acres at Davis Park is better than giving up any of the Guana. I believe most kids would rather see the woods stay the way they are, the way it was in the early 80s when the Palm Valley and Ponte Vedra resi- dents fought so hard to get the state to purchase the land for recreation and conservation for the people of Florida.

That is why it is often called "silent." Certain factors can put you at risk for developing osteoporo- sis, but there are also steps you can take to prevent it. Women are at higher risk for osteoporo- sis than men. They have smaller bones and lose bone more rapidly than men do because of hormone changes that occur after menopause. Therefore, if you are a woman, you are at higher risk for osteo- porosis. Because bones become thinner with age, the older you are, the greater your risk of osteoporosis. Caucasian and Asian women are at the highest risk for osteoporosis. This is main- Center-Beaches. Evelyn, Dell Hogue of' Jacksonville,, 61, passed away Feb. 25, 2006.

(c) 2006 DBR Media, Inc. 'Very little danger' of local real estate bust by STEVE NICKLAS CONTRIBUTOR The real-estate boom will .continue around North Florida. And predictions of an ensuing bust will fizzle. According to a. report from National Association of Realtors' research division, the Jacksonville metropolitan area will contin- ue to flourish. The reasons are many: the coast, the easy access to a major airport, the restaurants and museums, the vibran- cy of the city and its upscale neighbor- hoods; Such factors were quoted in the report, "Home Price Analysis for Jacksonville," which was released about a month ago. In summary, the report says "there is very lit- tle danger" of a housing bust in and around Jacksonville, This is based on a thorough analysis. "In fact, the local hous- ing market is in excellent shape with a potential, for significant housing equity gains ...," the report indicated. The Jacksonville metropolitan area can include perimeter regions such as Nassau County. Claims of a housing bubble, ot bust, have dominated headlines after a phe- nomenal ruri-up in real estate prices across the U.S. One of the linchpins of the "bub- ble theory" is that housing prices have risen faster than incomes. This means that people cannot afford as much in terms of housing. However, the creativity of the mortgage industry has kept the financing fire burn- ing. Interest-only loans as well as other hybrid mortgages have given homebuyers additional leverage. An advantage of the local market is that the average price of a house is $166,000, which is 20 percent below the national average. In addition, housing prices had been relatively flat around here for much of the 1990s, leaving room for appreciation in a "catch-up effect.". The average home price rose 14.9 per- cent in 2004 in the Jacksonville area and 42 percent over the last three years. In some places, such as Amelia Island, prices have increased at least this much, if not more. Substantial job growth has helped the Jacksonville realestate market and will continue to do so in the future. The region has added an estimated 80,000 new hous- es in the past five years. The future looks even brighter. Estimates are for 10,000 to 20,000 houses to be built in coming years in Nassau County alone. Job growth feeds thle con- struction of new homes. The report delved into the hybrid-type mortgages that have become popular. Interest-only loans made up about one-fourth of the loans in the Jacksonville area, while adjustable-rate mortgages accounted for 40 percent. "Therefore, some homeowners could feel the pinch of higher rates over time," according to the research report. The Jacksonville area would experience a 5. percent decline in average housing prices only under "extreme unlikely scenarios," the report stated. An example of an adverse scenario would be interest rates spiking to around 16 percent, and job losses in the range of UNF offering business workshops The University of North Florida Small Business Development Center will offer the following workshops for the months of March and April.

' Unsold :and canceled tee times will be posted online as a way to boost plavership at the Jacksonville Beach Municipal Golf Course. The City Council Monday approved the Last Minute Golfer program to better mar- , ket the course and increase rev- enue. City Manager George Forbes said the city will select unused tee times and will post them at LastMinuteGolfer.com. The tee times will be offered at a reduced rate for the more than 18,000 subscribers to the program. A frequent player program, 'also encourages golfers 'to utilize, the city's course with points assigned for those who participate regular- ly. "The business is attractive to our .golf course because the tee times' that we would choose would be at a time that the golf course typically does not have much or any business,"' golf pro Boots Farley said in a Feb. 25 memo to Forbes. ' LMP offers three types of tee times. Advanced tee times are, available:outside Of 24 hours for players who know where and when they want to play. Last Minute tee times are avail- able and utilized within 24 hours of play. Red Flag Tee Times are given to LMG in exchange for allow- ing cities to participate in the program. They are available outside of 24 .hours or until they are filled. Not all red flag, times are sold because they are the least desir- able tee times. Jacksonville Beach will receive the total cost from all ad itnced' bfoblki Hgsr' pfffci t off all last minute bookings via monthly voucher. LMG will receive all of the revenue incurred from red flag times at one per day. On average, LMG would earn $689.76 per month if every red flag tee time is sold. The cost breakdown represents four weekend times at $28 and 23 weekday times at $25.12. The regular price for a week- day tee time at the Jacksonville Beach Golf Club is $35.88 and $43.07 on the weekend. On LMG, weekday pricing drops to $32.10 for advanced tee times, $30 for last minute times and $25.12 for red flag slots. Weekend costs also drop to $37.40 for advanced tee times, $32.10 for last minute and $28 for red flag times. Golfers that participate in, the program will also be able to access the city's web page. through a link provided on the LMG site. "It's a good way to market outr golf course," Forbes said. "And it's a good way to sell unused tee times." Farley 'said LMG averages 80,000 hits per month with 125,000 hits logged for January alone. A monthly newsletter will also allow the city to pro-, mote any events at no cost.

African-American and Hispanic women are also at risk, but less so. Osteoporosis tends to run in families. If a family member has osteoporosis or breaks a bone, there is a greater chance that you will too. People who have had a fracture are at high risk of having another, Getting too little calcium over your life- time can increase your risk for osteoporo-- sis. Not getting enough vitamin D can also increase your risk for osteoporosis. Vitamin D is important because it helps the body absorb calcium. An overall diet adequate in protein and other vitamins and minerals is also essential for bone health. Not exercising and being inactive or staying in bed for long periods can increase your risk of developing osteo- porosis. Like muscles, bones .become stronger with exercise. Smokers may absorb less calcium from their, diets. In addition, women who smoke have lower levels of estrogen in their bodies. Some commonly used medicines can cause loss of bone mass. These include a type of steroid called glucocorticoids, which are used to control diseases such as arthritis and asthma; some antiseizure drugs; some medicines that treat endometriosis; and some' cancer drugs. Using too much thyroid hormone for an underactive thyroid can also be a problem. If you are taking these medicines, talk to your doctor about what can be done to protect your bones.

Hard to imagine any other sport's governing body having its head buried deeper in the sand than feck- less Bud Selig and Major League Baseball. Quick review: From the late-1980s until last year, while players became the size of biker bar bouncers and home run records fell like French prizefighters, baseball wouldn't even consider the possibility that the game was rife with drug cheats. Finally forced by Congress to imple- ment a steroid-testing policy baseball did so but still refused to investigate whether records set in the past few years were fraudulent. Now comes a book by two San Francisco Chronicle investigative reporters alleg- ing a pattern of steroid and human growth hormone use by Bonds dating back to 1998. What makes the book different than random specu- lation about the San Francisco Giants slugger is 'the detail and specificity of the drugs used, dosages, time- frame and manner of inges- tion. It's a thorough tome by a pair of seasoned journalists. The authors also offer a motive for Bonds: He was jealou's of the attention Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were receiving in the summer of 1998 as they chased down Roger Maris's then-record 61 home runs. The allegations are support- ed by a thousand documents and more than 200 hours of interviews, although some purists will cringe at the use of "un-named sources" throughout the book's pages. To be sure, the case against : Bonds at this point is purely circumstantial. He hasn't failed a drug test, he's never publically admitted to know- ingly using performance- enhancing drugs and has never been charged with any crime related to steroids. But men have been sent to the electric chair with far less evidence. Just three months ago U.S. sprinters Tim Montgomery and Chrvste Gaines were con- victed of using the steroid THG (tetrahydrogestrinone) and suspended two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Neither had tested pos- itive for the substance but based on records seized in the BALCO investigation and the testimony of witnesses, penal- ties were meted out. Two things of note: THG is the designer steroid known as "the clear" that Bonds told a grand jury he unwittingly took thinking it was flaxseed oil. And BALCO is the San Francisco-area laboratory Bonds went to for "nutrition- al advice" before federal agents raided the place in 2003 and shut down a steroid Manufacturing and distribu- tion ring. By the way, if sprinter Marion Jones had simply paid her bills Bonds, BALCO, Montgomery and everyone else involved in the scandal would still be operating with S impunity. Olympic champion Jones allegedly stiffed her coach, Trevor'Graham, on some bonus money she owed him. Graham sought revenge by anonymously mailing a half-full syringe of THG, then undetectable in drug screen- ings, to the World Anti- Doping Agency along with a See BONDS, page 9A ,By CHUCK ADAMS SPORTS I'RITER The Nease High girls softball team continued its torrid pace with a 4-2 road victoryy over St. Augustine Tuesday. Beating the Yellow Jackets kicked off a tough three-game stretch for the Lady Panthers, who defeated Gainesville 4-1 Wednesday night to improve to 8-0 on the season. Nease was slated to host unbeaten West Nassau on Thursday. Three tests in three days is a tough task in any sport. And it's good soft- ball teams can play only three times in one week. "Almest had PANTHER Palatka in there," Nease ST. AUGU coach Jim Coleman said of another diffi- cult district game, rescheduled to April from a Feb. 23 post- ponement. St. Augustine had freshman right-hander Ashley Pacetti on the mound and batting cleanup in their loss to Nease. Pacetti struck out seven Panthers. "They played real well," Coleman said of St. Augustine. "Most teams are really up for us, and you can see they're really fired up, ready to play. And that's good for us." Coleman was pleased to see Pacetti in the Nease district. "Ashley does a very good job," he said. "She's another IS S quality pitcher we get to hit against -.which, as far as I'm concerned, is the name of the game." Coleman said Nease had a "terrible practice" preparing for the Jackets, which might have carried over, to some degree, to the game itself. But the Panthers did hit the ball, rapping out 12 hits. "Victoria [Rosenblum] hit two rips, and she was 0-for tonight." Rosenblum smoked a line A.L-"""I '" drive to left field caught by Megan Mac- Farlane in the j first inning, then tagged a / shot to third in '/ the third that Desiree Sloat, using her soc- cer goalkeeping skills, turned S4 into third-to- TINE 2 first inning- iTINE 2 ending out.

Holland didn't find the going as easy this time around. "They were on her fastball," said Coleman. "You give them credit. I think St. Augustine did a really good job." "We came out thinking they're going to be the same team as last year, and they defi- nitely weren't," said Holland.

'fiu lO "-, l. ii< The' Nease weightlifting express continues to roll. With many of the Panthers already aiming for the upcoming state championships, the team defeated Bartram Trail Wednesday, 59-31, after tying the Bears last year. "I am going to state," said Alex Laymon,; who lifts in the 154-pound weight class. "We're all pumped up. It's going to take at least five of our guys to get there. If we place in state, we'll win the title." La y mon set a school record with a 270-pound clean and We're pun jerk, "which he needed," going to take said Panthers coach Danny of our guys Cowgill. "He was down 55 If we place ii pounds go- win the title. ing in." With a lift total of 535, Laymon won his class by -Alex five pounds. Nease we La ymon has his sights set on a 280 clean and jerk lift at state, accompanied by a 275 bench. Another lifter with an eye on state is senior Mannie Wellington, who holds the, 199-pound school record for clean and jerk at 300. "We've had.a lot of new guys come in this year," said Wellington. "Just from last week it shows we have, an opportunity to go to state and win it. We have to make sure we stay at our weight, have tunnel vision of going to state. "'It's going to be hard," he continued. "We've moved up a classification, and moving up the guys get bigger. We're just going to have to bust it, like we did for football, do the same for weightlifting." Wellington cited a visit St. Augustine coach Mike Milillo paid to the Nease bus as posi- tive motivation for the rest of the weightlifting season. "Coach Milillo was a great guy. He came on the bus and said he wouldn't have wanted to lose to any other team but Nease, because we show a lot of class and a lot of respect. That definitely meant a lot to us," said Wellington, who won his weight class against Bartram with a 595 total. Jason March was right behind with 575. Wellington had already secured, first, then tried to break .his record.. .. --.. "He tried for 315 twice," said Cowgill, "got it cleaned the first time, didn't hold the jerk." Wellington has used weightlifting as a base from which to build a football career. "It's what I am today," said the personable senior. "I made everything in the weight room. I decided not to play basketball, to concentrate on weightlifting, so I could pursue my dreams for football, get big ger , stronger, --- ---faster. That's exactly what nped up. It's I did, and it paid off for e at least five me in the end, going to to get there. Division I football." n state, we'll ellington and Panthers running back Daunt e "' Owens, who won at 183 Laymon with a com- eightlifter bined lift of 560, are headed to Florida International. Other Nease winners included Francisco Burgin at 119 pounds. Burgin, who had a personal-best clean and jerk of 135 pounds, tied with teammate Nick Duncan. But he weighed one-tenth of a pound less, so was the winner. Burgin and Duncan each lifted a combined 290 pounds. Duncan, who captured the S119-pound weight class at St. Augustine in his first varsity meet, started lifting weights under Landrum dean Bernie Blue. Duncan benched 135 and clean and jerked 155, a per- sonal record, at St. Augustine. The 118-pound freshman again did 135 in bench versus, Bartram, then cleaned and jerked 165, a personal record. A somewhat surprising winner at 219 pounds was. sophomore Riley Haynes, lift- ing in his brother, Hunter Haynes', normal weight slot. Riley Haynes' total was 545. "He had cleaned 295, but missed the jerk," Cowgill said of Riley Haynes. "Hunter was between 219 and 238 [mean- ing he was too heavy for 219 but could have lifted at 238],, so we listed him as exhibi- tion." _ 1 I NI s1T B h a o ergLVe FISHING Time may be right for landing a record drum. If you've ever wanted to get into the record books for catching a big fish, now might just be the time to give that desire a try. The opportunity is at hand to catch a record drum. Not just any size drum but a monster oversized one might just do it. The current Florida state record is 96 pounds caught by James Cartwright on April 12, 2001, in Fernandina. The record fish he surpassed was a 92-pound fish also caught in Fernandina. I'm noticing a pattern here aren't you? A couple of years ago, jetty guide supreme, Fred Morrow caught one here at our Mayport jetties that weighed in at 92 pounds. A great fish for sure but four pounds short of the record. Now for the exciting news: Just the other day Fred was back out at the jetties catching drum, reds, and sheepshead when he brought another behemoth drum up along side of the boat. Now, Fred is one of the best fishermen I know and one of the most accurate at guessing weights on his fish too. He estimated that fish at over 100 pounds before he released it. Yes, I said released it. The problem was that Fred already had his limit of drum in the ROGER WALKER COLUMNIST boat (five fish per person, per day, 14" to 24" one of which may be over 24") when he caught the big boy so he had to release it. Releasing that fish was the right thing to do although I wonder how many of us would have done the same thing Fred did if we were in that position. Anyway, the. point is that the drum run is here and going strong. To say that we live in one of the best areas in the state for drum fishing is an. understate- ment. We live in the best area on the east coast of the U.S. for drum fishing. To top things off, we have a group of fishermen that live, eat, and, breathe drum fishing while the March run is on. They almost form a secret society of sorts. By that I mean that you don't often hear of their catches because they' don't like to publicize drum fishing. They want it all to themselves. A couple of years ago, I final- ly got to fish for drum with one of the best drum fishermen out there, George Williams. George fishes out of Fernandina and Nassau Sound and he keeps up with where the best bite is through his network of fellow drummers. When I arrived at the appointed hour for our trip, George had already raided his crab traps for that half of the bait. We were planning on fish- ing just south of the south Fernandina jetties, so stopping by a fish house on the way there for clams was easy and would make up the other half of our bait. Remember to buy your clams and don't just go out and dig up your own, that's illegal. And remember to keep your sales receipt on board just in case the Marine Patrol checks you. On the way to our spot, we made that quick stop by a bait shop in Fernandina for the clams and then we were off again. SWhen w e arrived at our spot, Which was about a half mile south of the tip of the south jetty, there were already a dozen boats fishing. We fished the incoming tide and it didn't take long before the action started. George caught one, as did his dad and one of his buddies. Me, well let's just say that there's a sneak drum swimming around that knows how to steal bait. All of our fish weighed between 45 and 50 pounds. And yes, they are good eating. The tackle (ve were using con- sisted of medium weight rods and reels spooled with 40- pound line. The terminal tackle was three feet of 80-pound leader with a 9/0 hook on one end and a swivel on the other. George prefers to use six to eight ounces of weight attached to the line with a sinker slid just above the swivel. Drum prefer slower moving water to feed in, so if you have to use more weight than that to hold your bait down the cur- rent is probably to strong and your chances of being success- ful are diminished. Look for drum fishing to peak on me fall moon. That's the traditional date but I think it will be a little later this year. Water temperatures at, least 61 degrees are required and an incoming tide as well. Good luck and-good fishing! EASYCLIP FATF"NTID TECHNOLOGY Magnetic Clip-on Eyewear EYE EXAMINATIONS James A.

BONDS: New book documents drug allegations Continued from page 8A note saying, "This is what you should be testing for." The "undectable" substance quickly became detectable and the whole sordid BALCO scan- dal rocked the sports world. Company founder Victor. Conte was sentenced to four months in federal prison and will be released soon for a peri- od of home confinement after pleading guilty to manufactur- ing the drugs and orchestrating -a steroid distribution ring. And Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, is currently serving three months in the Gray Bar Hotel for money laundering and a steroid distri- bution charge. Additionally, there have . been suspensions in track and field, boxing, football and soc- cer as a result of documents seized in the BALCO raid. Most of those suspended did not fail a drug test, they were convict- ed on empirical and circum- stantial evidence. Which brings us back to Bonds. How fortunate that he toils in a sport in which the commissioner at once resem- bles all three monkeys with hands clasped tightly over eyes, ears and mouth. MLB will Now, this is easy. money! do nothing as a result of the new drug allegations. Bonds' single-season mark of 73 home runs will stand. And the surly 'slugger will continue his inex- orable march on the hallowed all-time marks of Babe Ruth, then Hank Aaron.

BARBARA MATHESON GARDENING COLUMNIST Azaleas are in bloom this week It has been glorious this week. So many neat things to plant. I have plenty to do to keep me busy for quite awhile. And the weather draws me out to see just how much needs some big- time TLC. The shrubs are a mess, and since that is what today's article is about, hopefully, I'll heed my own advice. Since azaleas are starting -to flower, let me hit them first. The azalea likes acid soil, and pine needles and oak leaves are its favorite mulch and also an easy way to give the beds acid. However, they'll need some help from you after they've bloomed. You'll need to purchase an acid- based fertilizer product usu- ally called something like "azalea/camellia fertilizer." The product should be applied at the rate recom- mended on the label. The fertilizer will work best if you take the time to pull away the mulch, then spread the fertilizer, remem- bering to go out as far as the width of the bush called the "canopy"i. Water it in before you replace the mulch. You do not need to use only new mulch, the existing stuff is fine, but remember that azaleas are shallow-rooted and therefore they need at good 3-4 inches of mulch to protect those roots from summer's heat and winter's cold spurts. It can be added gradually if the budget is tight right now; fertilizing is the impor- tant task. Incidentally, camellias, hydrangeas and gardenias all need this type of food. If you need to prune the azaleas, and notice I use the word, need, y'ou should do so right after they have stopped blooming. Azaleas form buds for next spring's flowers on new growth and they'start doing this within a few months of the bloom period. You will see many landscapers whacking at homeowner's azaleas, making them into rigid hedges and forms. If you like this look, OK, but why not think about let- ting the plant look a tad more natural? It would save on labor and expense, and put the azaleas in less stress. New homeowners, or those with newly-planted azaleas, should not prune for the first year or so; let the plants get settled, but do fertilize them. If you plan to buy more, please remember that there is not any azalea that really thrives in the full summer sun, even though the tag may say "full sun." Don't let any plant sales- man tell you otherwise either. All azaleas, even those with slightly reddish leaves, prefer a 'partly shaded location, especially in the afternoon. To plop them in the front lawn in a bed, in western exposure without any tree canopy is only ask- ing for trouble. Diseases, insects, dieback, and eventu- al death will happen. Trust me, I've been there. North and eastern expo- sure is great, southern and western is OK if you have lots of tree canopy from taller trees that will shade See MATHESON, B-2 FROM CONTRIBUTOR The Atlantic Beach Experimental Theatre will pres- ent the comedy/drama "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks" this weekend at the Adele Grage Cultural Center, 716 Ocean Blvd., Atlantic Beach.

Cast in the role of the former career woman, "Lili," is Emma Lee Carpenter whose resume includes roles at both Players- by-the-Sea, Orange Park Community Theatre, and Limelight Theatre in St. Augustine. She has played Ethel in "On Golden Pond," Sister Helena in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie," and Demetria Riffle in "On Borrowed Time." Carpenter was formerly con- troller of the Stellar Group Inc. in Jacksonville, and is currently. general manager at the Limelight. Playing dance instructor "Michael" is Anthony Hodge, whose most recent stage appearance at PBTS was as Kevin Emory in "Inspecting Carol." Hodge has acted in Nashville at such theatres as the Actors Playhouse, the Dreamweaver Theatre, the New Play Theatre and Shakespeare in the Park. Some of his former roles were as Edmund in "King Lear," Petrucio in "Taming of the Shrew," Ellis in "Days of Wine and Roses," Joe in "Shadowbox," and Alan in "Come Blow Your Horn." He also played Bob Ewell in "To Kill a Mockingbird" at PBTS. Evans, who took over the helm at ABET this year, was awarded two Pelican Awards for directing at PBTS.

Hotel Rwanda hero to speak at JU FROM CONTRIBUTOR .''Paul Riisesabagina, the hero 'of the Rwandan genocide portrayed in the Oscar- nominated 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda," will speak at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 28,. at Jacksonville University's Swisher Gymnasium. His speech, "Hotel Rwanda: A Lesson Yet to be Learned," will touch on the events of the 1994 genocide, the current political climate in Africa, and the international response to the current crisis in Darfur, Sudan. Tickets are $5 per person and can be pur- chased only in person at Jacksonville University. "Hotel Rwanda" told the story of Rusesabagina's work to save the lives of more than 1,200 people during the 1994 genocide that killed 800,000 in 100 days. As the man- ager of the luxury Hotel Milles Collines in Kigali, Rusesabagina offered refuge to more than a thousand Hutu and Tutsi who were in danger. Rusesabagina's courage has been honored with the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Immortal Chaplains Prize for Humanity and the National Civil Rights Museum Freedom Award. Rusesabagina was born in Rwanda as the son of rural farmers. He was educated in hotel management in Africa and Europe, and became the first Rwandan manager of the luxury Hotel Milles Collines. Recently, he founded The Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, which provides support, care, and assistance to children orphaned by, and women abused during, the genocide in Rwanda. He speaks frequently on the need for change in Rwanda and through- out Africa. His autobiography, "An Ordinary Man," will be released in April. Tickets go on sale March 13.

When planting, always make them a little higher than the surrounding soil line because they cannot tolerate what we call, "wet feet." For those of you with wood- ed sections of your property, consider the very unusual 'native azaleas which even come in such colors as fellow. and orange. Nestled amongst or at the edge of woods, these, guys look spectacular, and they need far less pampering than the hybridized ones. OK, we have many, many more shrubs than azaleas, but if you live in North Florida chances, aje,yoy'll have some pn your property. Ninety-nine percent of all the other shrubs we have are easy growers, requiring very little of you except an occasional fertiliz- ing with a regular lawn-type product ( 16-4-8, 12-5-10, etc.), The first 3-5 years are cru- cial for these shrubs to be fer- tilized, and then after that, if they look a bit off-color, or seem to have had a particular- Sly hard winter, it would be wise to fertilize them in the spring and the fall. All fertiliz- ers create new growth, so keep in mind the maintenance requirements of more pruning and more watering, as well as timing of the feeding. You do not want a lot of new growth when we are about to go into ' the hot summer nor the cold winter, so finish the job by early May and then again by early October. The planting requirements of shrubs is the same as for trees: dig the hole twice as wide and 'not quite as deep as its container. Put no additives' into the hole; refill it with the same soil that came out of it. Water daily until you see signs of new growth, indicat- ing a root system has become established; then you may fer- tilize lightly if you desire. . Keep mulch away from the main trunk to avoid insect penetration and disease!rot-: Ling. For low maintenance plant holly, ligustrum, viburnum, nandina, juniper, monkey/Aztec grass, bottle- brush, crape myrtle, podocar- pus, to name just a few. Personally, I would avoid pit- tisporum and India 'Hawthorne. The latter was a fabulous plant years ago, but it is related to the rose and for some reason it has many leaf spotting problems related to either inbred diseases or bad watering habits. There is a pink flowered one that does- n't seem to be as bad. Another shrpub,thp a~, i.iedj often but seems to be destined for failure and'b'ald'spots is small-leafed yaupon holly which naturally grows into a round form. I do not know if it is because these things are constantly being pruned to look like balls and that prun- ing is bugging it, or if there is some other problem,, but it seems to die or look awful after about seven years of being planted. - .The holly, ligustrum, etc. I mentioned at the top of the paragraph are verty hardy and the only real maintenance issue is pruning. If you let them grow fairly naturally. you'll not be out there trim- ming them every 4-6 weeks. A popular plant that is blooming now and has bur- gundy colored leaves is . Loripetulum. Homeowners :-seem to love this unusually colored plant, and when.used properly, is lovely. Gardenias and hydrangeas are great i f they are in a partly shaded spot, in fact there are dwarf gardenias that bloom for a long time and are low to the ground, sometimes making a lovely ground cover. . Another popular ground cover with, very few problems. is Asiatic jasmine, seen all over especially under large crapes. , I could go on ad infinitum about shrubs but you'll be bet- ter off calling the Cooperative Extension Office and talking to some Master Gardeners or going online, checking, "Plants for North Florida." Remember to, always keep in mind the sun exposure in* the summer and the mature height and width of the plant. Too often we buy something "for the moment" forgetting that it will be a royal pain to take care of because it will become 10 feet wide and 35 feet high. Look around you, there are so fiany homes that have this ,Prjblem with their landscape. o, n",ow is the time to prune all'shrubs except those that will be flowering this spring; prune them right after they have finished. ,. Fertilize all newly-planted shrubs, and use a special azal- ea blend for azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas and gardenias. Always water the fertilizer in and avoid just throwing it at the plant because it will burn ,the leaves. Plant or transplant any shrub, except for spring bloomers, now. SIf you see small white dots on the leaves of plants, it is probably an insect called a "scale." 'Youwill want to use a horti- 'cultural oil and spray the top and undersides of the leaves,. hoping to suffocate these guys. They are chewers and will have a heyday with your plants. If you had a whitefly infestation last year which makes the leaves look black and sooty; try using a spray'of Orthene or a similar systemic product now. This kind of chemical goes into the roots of the plant as it travels down the leaves and helps to make the plant immune to insects. Sometimes it works. One area that is very impor- tant and yet is usually ignored is selecting plant material that will enhance the color and style of your house. usually, light colored homes look nicest when deep green foliage is next to it. Accent color can be placed in the lawn or in containers. On the reverse side, dark houses usually look nicest with lighter plant material. One effect that I think is awful is for example: four bushes that are light, next to four that are dark, etc. going all in a row. Make things flow, don't chop up! One problem that 2 callers have asked me about is what to do with hollies and podocarpus that has been damaged by chlorine frorn, roof cleaning.' Apparently, the bleach solution caused signifi- cant dieback of some lovely, well-established plants and it will be very costly to replace them. My suggestion is to start at the top and.prune out anything that appears to be dead. Be s.ure and scratch the stalk with your fingernail or paring knife to see if the stem is dead; if it is green or white,. it is ok, but a gray and brown one is dead. As you go down the bush, you may find that there are so many dead areas you may as wellcut it all the way back to about 18 inches from the ground, fertilize it very lightly, and see what happens. For the plants men- tioned, they will probably come back over time and with your gentle pampering.

The variety of the art- works was impressive includ- S ing contemporary design, landscapes, flowers, quilts and much more.

Happily, the coroner who announced her demise remains very much alive. Meinhardt Raabe, the Muhchkinland Coroner from the L939 movie "The Wizard of Oz," will be honored with "Wizard of Oz Day" tomor- row at the Orange Park Mall.' _-The event begins at 1 p.m. Raabe, 90, has been a long- time Penney Farms resident, with many locals unaware of his place in movie history. Bobby Ingram (member of the rock group Molly Hatchet) and Cindy Bosnyak organized the event to give Raabe his due, along with honoring a classic film. Raabe grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. He first made a living as a public speaker with an accounting degree but found trouble get- ting jobs due to his short stature. After working in var- ious World Fairs, he got an accounting job at Oscar Meyer that led to a 30-year performing stint as "Little Oscar the Chef." While at Oscar Meyer, Raabe learned that MGM was looking for little people to cast in a new movie. Raabe had no movie experience, but his performing back- ground gave him much- needed confidence.

The Mall's AMC Theatre will show a restored Technicolor print of "The Wizard of Oz," followed by Raabe autographing copies of his autobiography, "Memories of a Munchkin," at Books-a-Million in the mall.

The event begins at 1 p.m. St. Lawrence StW, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, FLAGLER COLLEGE.u by SARAH LINWOOD CONTRIBUTOR In the world of video games, "Doom" is a mile- stone. It's generally credited with two achievements: pop- ularizing shareware and orig- inating the "first person shooter" genre. With these achievements, it was only' a matter of time till someone in this case, Universal Pictures decided to turn what just might be the most popular video game of all time into a flick. Despite a cast starring three well-known actors, "Doom's" plot is thin gruel for 105 minutes of screen time. This is a movie that'll- appeal only to game afi- cionados or those who appreciate gratuitous vio- ---lence! "Doom's" plot loosely fol- lows the multi-million copy selling video game. It begins somewhere in the American southwest, where a portal to Mars had been discovered (shades of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Barsoom" series!) ears before. Suddenly, something goes awry on that faraway world. A squad of Marines com- manded by "The Rock," for- mer Samoan wrestler Dwayne Johnson, is serit to safeguard the many scientists toiling on the-alien planet. Upon arrival, fellow Marine. Karl Urban, (the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, TV's "Xena: \Varrior Princess") discovers his estranged sister, Rosamund Pike, works at the research lab. It's up to Urban to protect Pike ("Die Another Day"i from both the lurking monsters and the drooling members of his own Marine unit. From here, it's. downhill. There's an extended period in which the research lab's explored, and first contact is made with the monsters. In the video game, the creatures were a combination of scien- tist turned demon and denizens straight from hell. In the movie, perhaps for political correctness, the monsters are all mutated sci- entists. To the delight of video-game lovers, the flick offers a I-o-n-g "first person shooter" sequence. Picture yourself looking over the gun site of a powerful weapon, running down dark corridors vaporizing Hellspawn. It's as close as one viewing a film can come to the video game and a sequence that'll thrill fans. Be aware of the many references to "Dr. Carmack." "Doom" fanatics will instantly recognize the name as the famous video game's originator. Though the 6-5" "Rock" delivers a decent perform- ance, Urban's and Pike's are flat. Admittedly, they have little to work with, but Polishdirector Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Exit Wounds") should have insisted upon stronger personalities. Wesley Strick ("The Glass House," former "Rolling Stone" staffer) and David Callaham ihis initial credit) put the mediocre screenplay together. Production values are sur- prisingly high, though, a credit to the work of cine- matographer Tony Pierce- Roberts ("De-Lovely," "The Bone Collector"). Beware, Pierce-Roberts stayed true to the video game's pervasively gloomy, pitch-black atmos- phere. It's a hindrance on the sil- ver screen as in many cases one can barely see the action. '__ ,.,.... 0 Overall, "Doom' "(rated R) isn't much-of a-flick. t's - available on DVD for $25 with extras such as "basic training" with "The Rock,"..a- "Doom" demo, subtitles in Spanish and French and more.

Ak Weekend 7 The RpBeapc h pe adpr/Pnnte VPera L leader Algo Mas volunteers reunite by KATHY NICOLETTI STAFF WRITER A reunion of people from Community Presbyterian Church and other volunteers who participated in missions to benefit Algo Mas was held at the church social hall on March 6. "The main work of Algo Mas is providing temporary foster care for children in transi- tion," said Rev. Peyton Hopkins of Community Presbyterian Church. Retired beaches physician Bruno Masters, a long-time member .of Community Presbyterian Church, founded the faith-based organization after a trip to the area, he said. Algo Mas serves children and families in the area near Golfito in southern Costa' Rica. The organization works with PANI, the Costa Rican government agency for chil- dren. Maegan Hoeffel, Director of Algo, Mas, attended the. reunion. During a two week stay in Northeast Florida, she has spoken at Christ Episcopal Church and other area churches, civic organiza- tions,and school s about the work of Algo Mas and Its cur- rent project, Las Manos Lodge. Las Manos Lodge, known as "the center of love and hope for girls and boys", is a shelter for endangered and at-risk children. It is the only facility of its kind in the southern region of C6sta Rica, said Hoeffel. "Kids get dropped off with nothing;, We see malnutrition Pamela Mitchell Almand, board member of Algo Mas, and Maegan Hoeffel, director of Algo Mas, attended the mission vdl- unteer reunion on March 6 at Community Presbyterian Church. and skin diseases, ". said Hoeffel. The region had formerly been the location of banana plantations When the con- panies that operated the plan- tations left the area,.the Costa Rican people there were left with little opportunities for employment. "This part of Costa Rica is very poor. It needs help and many children are neglected or abandoned," said Jule McAvity, a member of Christ Episcopal Church who led. a mission trip there in July, 2005. "I am particularly impressed' with Maegan and her dedica- tion to help the mission and to inspire the people who visit on mission trips. I watched her speak at our Youth Group, meeting the other evening and she really touched the kid's hearts." saic McAvity. Algo Mas' most pressing need is improving the build- ngs used for Las Manos Lodge, said Hoeffel. "Algo Mas is registered in the United States as a 501-3C charitable organization," said Pamela Mitchell Almand, an Algo Mas Board Member. Locally, the Board works to fill containers with items needed by Algo Mas in Costa Rica. In the United States, Algo Mas can be contacted at 743-5297 or at www.algomas- mission.org. ' There is always a need for. children's clothing, personal hygiene items, towels, bed linens, games and sports equipment. Also needed are medical and school equip- ment, furniture, power tools, and kitchen materials. Community Presbyterian Church has for the past six years undertaken a mission trip there in early December. Several days of the trip were spent working on building improvements. The rest of the time the group organized a Christmas celebration for the area's children. . The .church sent 150 back- packs filled with underwear, socks, toys, and other items for the children, saidHopkins who has gone on several mis- sion trips there, The volunteers work hard to give the children a great time, he said. "Children from. all over the area travel by boat and.by bus to come to the party.". Religion Briefs: Bethlehem Buddiesis open 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Save 10.W on our Precision Tune up!

It is estimated that up to 50% of adults have some snoring disorder. Snoring not only robs you of the rest you need,.it also robs those closest to you. You both wake up tired, and often feel irritable and sluggish during the day. What Causes Snoring? When you're asleep, the muscles and soft tissues in your throat and mouth automatically relax. The lower jaw and tongue drop back, helping block and decrease the airway opening. Snoring is also affected by diet, health, lifestyle, age, weight, environment and other factors. The Solution, is a small oral appliance professionally fitted by a dentist. It has a unique inner lining that is softened by the heat during the fitting process keeping the airway open, effectively. relieving the main cause of snoring Rick K. Harrison, D.M.D., PA.
