Funds for more policing in downtown JB get OK


by LIZA MITCHELL
ST4FF WRITER
The addition of two full time police
officers in downtown Jacksonville
Beach will boost redevelopment and
improve the quality of life for the
merchants in the area, city planners
said Monday.
The Community Redevelopment
Agency Monday approved the use of


JB to train

for 24/7 ALS

staff levels
FROM STAFF
The Jacksonville Beach Fire
Department is moving ahead
with plans to provide advanced
life support services to the city.
Three firefighters will undergo
specialized training to provide the
advanced rescue care. The cost of
the 10-month training program is
$24,000, which covers both train-
ing and the overtime required to
cover for the crew-training.
The City Council Monday
approved the funding for the
course at First Coast Technical
Institute in St. Johns County. ALS
trained crews can administer
medication that other cannot
give.
Mayor Fland Sharp likened the
extensive training course tp
"going back to college."
"For those of you who don't
know, it's really hard," Sharp said,
Chief Gary Frazier said the
department currently has four
trained paramedics in the combat
division. He said the additional
personnel will help the depart-
ment maintain a "24/7" service
level.
"That's the goal," Frazier said.


$176,616 in tax increment funds to
establish the Downtown Community
SPolicingInitiative.
Planning and Development
Director Steve Lindorff said the goal is
to improve conditions and encourage
private investment in redevelopment
in the area.
"I don't think that there is any
question that this will be an enhance-
ment that will add to our downtown


area and assist us in continuing with
the successful redevelopment of it,"
he said.
The program will include two full
time officers who will patrol the area
using different modes of transporta-
tion including the Segway people
movers.
Jacksonville Beach Police Cmdr.
Steve Corbitt said the new officers will
utilize two Segways on loan from the


Daytona agency.
Surveys will be conducted of the
business owners in the area to identi-
fy any concerns and to determine the
impact on crime in the area.
"You are above the crowd when
you are riding," Corbitt said. "It really
puts your appearance out there when
you are riding in uniform."
Segiways travel on two wheels with
an eight-inch platform where the


rider stands. They can reach up to 12
mph and will also be equipped with
blue lights and siren.
The additional officers will bring
the city's police force up from 59 to
61. Corbitt said only veteran officers
will be eligible for the downtown
position and will be selected by a
committee.

'Cat in the helmet' art


approved for JB park


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF lI7'RTER
It's not Dr. Seuss but Jacksonville
Beach will display its own "Cat in
the Hat" sculpture at Wingate
Athletic Park.
The City Council Monday
approved a contract with the Otis
Smith Kids Foundation to install a
sculpture of a big cat climbing out
of a giant football helmet at the
park's Pops Wamer Football Field.
The Big Cats For Kids program is
a fundraising program that placed
sponsor funded sculptures in public
and corporate areas citywide.
City Manager George Forbes said
the foundation contacted the dity


about permanently installing the
big cat at the field because the
jaguar-inspired theme ties into the
Pop Warner logo and uniforms.
The sculpture was purchased by
Promo Depot with the desire to
have a permanent public art exhib-
it at the field.
Forbes said the cat will remain at
the field through May, 2007. The
athletic association will be responsi-
ble for maintaining the cat after the
term expires. The foundation will
handle the installation and provide
maintenance until next May.
The cat weighs 85 pounds with a
concrete base that is bolted to the
sculpture for a total weight of 1,200
pounds.

Beaches residents on
Chamber trip report on
lessons learned from
New Orleans

by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
STAFF I'RITER
Beach cities will not be referred to as
"speed bumps" if a hurricane hits
Duval County.
That was the consensus of those offi-
cials who attended a recent Jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce-sponsored trip
to New Orleans to see the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina and determine if any
lessons learned from emergency service
coordinators there could be of benefit
to this area.
Atlantic Beach City Manager Jim


Hanson was among those who attend-
ed three days of meetings in Louisiana
to learn about the hurricane's effects so
that local disaster planning may be
improved.
He presented a report on the trip to
Atlantic Beach City Commissioners last
week. He said while the effects of
Katfina on New Orleans would be dif-
ferent from Atlantic Beach, because of
the long term flooding in the Louisiana
city, "many of the problems found
could also be encountered in Atlantic
Beach.
He said the loss of wetlands in New
Orleans was a significant concern. He
noted that the barrier islands near the
Big Easy were referred to by emergency
officials as "speed bumps" as they'
absorbed some of the winds and flood-
ing, dissipating hurricane force winds
and flooding.
Hanson told commissioners that


those who made the chamber trip
agreed such a designation should not
be used on the First Coast.
"We agreed that it was probably best
not to refer to the beach cities in Duval
County' as 'speed bumps,"' Hanson said
in his report.
Hanson said New Orleans speakers
who were involved in the immediate
response, as well as the rebuilding
efforts, told his group that several prob-
lems were identified after the storm.
Disaster planning, rebuilding after-
ward, pets and communications were
all concerns.
Jacksonville City Councilor Art
Graham, who represents the Beaches,
also went on the trip funded by tax-
payers and said in a recent interview
that he learned some things which sur-
prised him.

FROM S T.FF
Declining prices for natural gas
have had the, same effect on elec-
tric bills at most of the*-Beachesi'-
Natural gas is used to generate
about half of the power used by
Beaches Energy Services, which
provides electricity to customers
in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune
Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach.
Recent drops in gas prices mean
that the city could reduce its bulk
power cost adjustment i.BPCA) by
$1 per 1,000 kilowatt hours for
October, according to the utility.
In November the BPCA was
dropped an additional $1, for a


total reduction of $2 per 1,000
kilowatt hours.
"If the market trend continues;
we will make similar reductions in
the future. Beaches Energy Services
cannot control natural gas prices,
but as the price of natural gas
decreases, the savings will be
passed on to our customers," the
utility reported in its newsletter
Tidings.
"Our rates are below the state
average, and our reliability.' record
is among the best in the state." the
same newsletter notes.


Jax Beach runoff is for

voters in 1 district only


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF It RITER
Jacksonville Beach officials are
urging voters to visit the polls Dec.
5 for the city's runoff election for
the District 1 City Council seat.
But they want to make it clear
that only registered voters living
within the district boundaries will
be eligible to vote in the election as
it is not a citywide contest.
Only voters in precincts 13C-
American Legion Post 129, 1151
4th St. S.; 13D- Jacksonville Beach
City Hall, 11 3rd St. N.; and 13V-
Pablo Hamlet, 1600 Shetter Ave.
may cast ballots in the runoff.
City Clerk Heidi Reagan said the
breakdown of the council districts
can be confusing to some voters.
The three at-large seats are voted
into office by the entire community
while the votes for the three district
seats are segregated by the distinct.
"We don't want people to think
"hey, that's not me' then no one will
come out," she said. "We want a
decent turnout."
Steve Hartkemeyer and Scott
Chesnut will face off in the runoff
election because neither captured
50 percent plus one of the votes
needed to win the Nov. 7 election.
Hartkemeyer earned 929 votes,
collecting 47.84 percent of the votes
cast. Chesnut received 681 votes for
35.07 percent of the votes.
A third candidate Skip Smith got
332 votes for 17.10 percent of the
votes cast, failing to win a place in
the runoff.
"We just really want to encourage
people to get out out and help choose
the right person to represent their

district," Reagan said.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m.
The deadline to request an absen-
tee baUot is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov.
29. Absentee ballots may be
obtained from the Duval County
Supervisor of Elections office at 105
East Monroe Street, Jacksonville or
by calling 630-1414.
After the Nov. 7 election, Reagan
said voters questioned why there
'was no candidate on the ballot in
the District 2 Seat 5 race.
Because two candidates withdrew
their candidacy before the end of
the qualifying period, Pete
Mittleman was automatically seated
and did not require a vote.

Mayport Road overlay
plan is still urged
Limited staff in the coun-


ty's planning and develop-
ment department is slowing
development of an overlay
district on Mayport Road, but
the Mayport Waterfront
Partnership has decided to
submit a tweaked proposal to.
keep the issue active.,.
The Mayport Waterfront
Partnership is trying to estab-
lish an overlay district to cre-
ate a uniform set of zoning
laws and continuity along
Mayport Road, according to
Edward Lukacovic, the part-
nership program ..manager.
Both the city of Jacksonville
and the city of Atlantic Beach
would have to approve such a
district before it could be
used.
Because the process has
been slowed, Lukacovic sug-
gested that the partnership
continue to move forward on
its own and submit a propos-
al that a committee drafted -
basically adopting most of
Atlantic Beach's regulations.
The draft was tweaked to
meet some of Jacksonville's
codes as well, he said.
The committee was not sure


how to address sign and
building height regulations,
which are the main sources of
contention for the proposal,
according to Lukacovic.

Raze run-down buildings

The Mayport Waterfront
Partnership decided Tuesday

The partnership discussed
the health hazards as well as
the run-down look of some of
the buildings in the area and
will ask Vestcor, which owns
the properties, if it would be
willing to clear those build-
ings.

What holiday gift can you
.give to someone who has
everything?
How about a revealing, icon-
ic image of life in Ponte Vedra,
Palm Valley or the beaches to
the north in, the early part of
the 20th century?
The Palm Valley Community
Association is circulating a cat-
alog of 44 historical photo-
graphs from area beaches that
residents can order as holiday,
gifts for those on their shop-
ping list.
The dates of the photo-
graphs range from 1898 to the
,1950s, with images of every-
thing from sunbathing beau-
ties to the very first digging of
"the ditch" in Palm Valley.
The photos were featured in
several historical slideshows
hosted by the association in
2004 and 2005.
"These really are very rare
and priceless gifts for the per-
son who has everything," Greg
Leonard, president of the asso-
ciation, said in an interview
Tuesday.
For anywhere from $50 to
$120, the photographs are pro-
fessionally enlarged and
mounted on foam core boards
so that they are ready for dis-
play.
The photographs were


donated mainly by area fami-
.lies and the Beaches Area
Historical Society, Leonard'
said.'
Photos of Pablo Beach - now
known as Jacksonville Beach -
and the famous boardwalk and
pier are included with those
from Ponte Vedra and the'
Valley.
The idea for the catalog
stemmed from -the popularity
of the historical slideshows
and a need to recoup about
$8,000 in renovations com-
pleted at the association's comrn-
munity center on Canal
Boulevard' in Palm Valley.
Leonard. introduced the cata-
log Monday night at a meeting
of the community association.
"We had immediate' inter-
est," he said Tuesday, noting
that several orders for photo-
graphs have already been
placed.
Leonard said he thinks some
people will buy the photos for
their own use, or perhaps some
businesses will buy them "to
add a little bit of that local fla-
vor."
To ensure delivery before the
holidays, orders must be made
before Dec. 2, Leonard said.
However, the sale of photo-
graphs will most likely contin-
ue through the holidays, he
said. To obtain a catalog, call
285-5175.

Katrina:


Cont. from A-1
Problems with communica-
tion made it difficult for respon-
ders to let people know what
was going on after the storm,
Graham said. He explained that
he learned just how important
battery-powered AM radios
could be in the1 aftermath of a
hurricane and said local emer-
gency officials may want to
emphasize that residents need
to have working AM radios to
use after a storm.
Without a radio, residents
have a hard time learning where
to get food, water, ice, medical
treatment and other essentials,
Graham explained.
Communication issues were
one of the most ,serious prob-
lems New Orleans officials faced
post-Katrina, Hanson said in his
report.
Problems were due to several
systems, such as telephone,
radio, cellular and even satellite,,
that werereither not working or;i
severely overloaded, according
to Hanson's report. Those who
endured Katrina told the Duval
visitors to have a variety of com-
munication alternatives and to
use them, according to the
report.
* Another recommendation
was to ,make sure that shelters
are available for people with
pets, Hanson reported. Lack of
such shelters in New Orleans
was a -major obstacle when
Katrina struck, because.. many
who owned pets were unwilling
to evacuate without them.
* Paperwork delays have also
affected the rebuilding process,
speakers told the visitors. Many
state and local agencies have not
been reimbursed or have only
been partially reimbursed by
FE MA, and many homeowners
still have to settle with insur-
ance companies, according to.
the report. More than one year
after the storm hit, water, sewer
and electric services, are still not
available in many areas and this
has also slowed the process,


Hanson reported.
* Management of the many
volunteers who flocked to the
area was a problem, he said. In
cordoned off areas open only to
emergency response personnel,
those who identified themselves
as an SPCA volunteer were
allowed to enter, regardless of
whether they were doing any
animal rescue work.
* Crime is still a problem, he
said reporting on what officials
said.
S"On a personal note, when I
asked where would be a good
running route outside of the
hotel, I was advised not .to go
anywhere other than a short
decorative river walk along the
edge .of the- French Quarter
because 'the hotel does not want
to be responsible,"' Hanson said.
* Rumor control was a prob-
lem as were turf wars between.
elected officials and various
agencies as, to who was in con-
trol and that "created significant
impediments to. saving lives and
later getting the reconstruction
efforts on the fastest possible
track."
Hanson said he will discuss
the issues with city staff and
incorporate some of the ideas
into the city's Hurricane Plan.

"I think it is a good thing to

[downtown]," Lindorff said.
City Manager George Forbes
and Police. Chief Bruce
Thomason requested that the
agency allocate monies to'
fund full time officers in that
part of the city.'
The Florida Redevelopment
Act allows the use of tax
increment funds for commu-
nity policing efforts.
"The legislature a number
of years ago added communi-
ty policing issues as a specific
permitted use for tax incre-
ment trust funds," Lindorff
said. .
The request' was reviewed
'by Lindorff and CRA attorney
Cindy Laquidara ,to ensure
compliance with the state's
law. '
Lindorff said 'the funding
will be a current expense for
the CRA through the life of
the downtown TIF district


which expires in 2013. The
final funds will be received in
January, 2014.,
"The police have seven or


eight years to figure out how
to keep it going once the dis-
trict expires," Lindorff said.

To the editor:
' As one of many concerned

want to urge everyone to join us
on Nov. 30 at 6:30 at the
Neptune Beach City Hall to
show VWal-Mart we say NO to
their big-box store and tell local
officials we want them to reject
any compromise deal that
brings the unwanted super cen-
ter to our community.
A 24-hour destination store is
far too intense and would gen-
erate excessive noise and over-
w helming traffic on our already
congested roads. There are also
the environmental issues, and,
concerns caused by pakinfg lot

water and sewer usage, not to
mention increased crime. We
do not want property values
and the quality of living
decreasing, while taxes increase,
due to a big-box store being
constructed on the proposed
Atlantic Boulevard site in our
neighborhood. This type of
store does not fit in with our
"bedroom community" and the
reason we chose to live here.
We need appropriately scaled
businesses that compliment our
small town charm. Please join

The Leader's Opinion

Library needs upgrade

At 25,450 square feet, the Beaches Branch Library is less
than half the size of another nearby facility. It also has less
than half the computers of a neighboring library and a
much smaller budget for part time library employees.
Yet more than a quarter of a million visitors came to the
Third Street library during the first nine months of this year
- that's better than 80 percent of. the visitors that went to
the newer, better equipped branches nearby.
The numbers, all of which were furnished by the
Jacksonville library system, make it clear that the 20-year-
old Beaches branch needs attention - now. The Beaches
Branch was a great addition to, our community when it
opened in 1986 --.replacing a library that was literally
crammed into borrowed space in Jacksonville Beach's for-
mer community center.
The Beaches has .grown tremendously since then and'
many things have changed.
In 1986, .the only surfing being done:at the Beaches was
offshore. Now library patrons clamor for computer space to
surf the Internet.
As the president of the Friends of the Library has said, "lit-
eracy today comes in many forms."
Another thing which was changed since 1986 is the
amount of tax revenue that flows from here to the county.
The inequities continue to grow between what the Beaches,
with its rapidly appreciating tax base, pay into county cof-.
fers and what is returned here in county expenditures.
Some of that revenue should be returned now to improve
the library, a county facility, so that it can adequately serve
the Beaches. Many volunteers work hard to make the library
a key asset for.the community. But it is past time for the
county to ante up funds to improve the aging, slightly shab-
by and very inadequate facility

It was a picture-perfect day
with a cloudless sky, a warm,
gentle breeze and bright sun-
shine. My vehicle was front and
center as the Mavport Ferry left
the dock at Fort George Island. I
felt as if my van was gliding
across the water on its own.
Seagulls called from overhead as
the ferry shared the river with
pleasure boats and Jet Skis. After
completing my shopping in
Atlantic Beach, I took my place
m the line of other vehicles and
waited for the return trip.
My fellow passengers includ-
ed several carloads of people
headed to a wedding on Amelia
Island. As they dashed between
vehicles, filled with anticipation
for the upcoming nuptials, I
had no doubt this bnef ride on
the ferry contributed to the
excitement of the day and
would be included in their
memories of it.
A family visiting our area
from the Midwest also enjoyed
the short excursion.
They snapped photographs to
preserve the moment as their
children giggled and chattered
excitedly, watching the boats
and seabirds go past.
The Mayport Ferry has been
in operation since 1948, carry-
ing visitors and locals alike
between Fort George Island and
Mayport Village. But now it
c4 danpejof;%n shut
dow- ,dbe to an 'increase in
operatlnig'costs'. - - ". .
Suggested ways to prevent
elimination of the ferry include

using a tax increment to finance
it or turning to the state of
Florida for assistance.
For $3.25 per vehicle, passen-
gers enjoy a short but memo-
rable ride across the St. Johns
River. I believe people would be
willing to endure a slight
increase in the fare if it meant
preserving this important land-
mark.
Traveling to Atlantic Beach
on the Mayport Ferry is one of
my favorite things to do. It's a
lovely trip from Fernandina
Beach down Heckscher Drive to
the ferry.
Passing by the sea-oat-cov-
ered dunes of Big and Little
Talbot islands, one gets a sense
of Old Florida, the way it was
before developers -diminihed
its beauty. '::'.
When my son and his girl-
friend recently visited, we all
enjoyed our ferry ride, taking


pictures to remember the day.
Several other photographs were
taken on that same trip, by fam-
ilies visiting our area from far'
and near.
I hope a way can be found to
keep the ferry running so more
memories can be made aboard
it. And if contributing to vaca-
tion snapshots of visiting fami-
lies doesn't seem a valid enough
reason, maybe those in charge
should remember that the fernr
also brings important tourist
dollars to both sides of the St.
Johns.

To the editor:
It seems everyone has their
opinion of what has hap-
pened regarding the FHSAA
sanctions against the Nease
High School football pro-
gram. These opinions, howev-.
er, cannot be based on facts
because everyone involved
has been "silenced" for one
reason or another.
The superintendent has
silenced the principal: who
has subsequently silenced the
Booster Club; and the lawyers
have silenced their clients,
the coaches.
The FHSAA Web site has
been the only source of infor-
mation, and what is stated
there could use some explana-
tion. An athlete was induced,
to enroll after . he was
enrolled?' :The' people
involved have not been
:allowed to present their story,
and I know there is one.
As' result, much has been
written, about Nease's football
program: without the facts
getting in the way. The opin-


ions of various local coaches
that have been defeated by
Nease (e.g., St. Augustine,
Ridgeview, have been print-
ed Of course, in their minds
the only wa' they could have
been beaten was if Nease had
violated the rules.
So what do I know? I know
Nease's secret to success is the
kids. Ponte Vedra is fortunate
to have vto youth football
programs, Pop Warner and
the Jr. Development Program.
These programs have over
300 kids participating. Nease's
football players largely come
from these programs, not
from transfers. As a former Jr..
Development coach, I know
first hand that we have 19
kids that are playing in the
Nease program .and Pop
W'arner has many as well.
I also know that it's riot the
weight room that makes the
team; it's the player that uses
the weight room., These kids
work hard, spending many
early morning summer hours
in the weight.room.


I also know it's the volun-
teers that help make Nease
successful. It's the many thou-
sands of volunteer hours that
parents put in behind the
scenes to make the program
run. Those selling T-shirts and
working in the concessions
stand help bring in money to
pay for uniforms. ,,. , ,
It's all those that painted
the stadium last summer and
those, that help with the,
games. It's all the fathers that
volunteer their time to coach
in the youth leagues as well as,
on the Nease team.
The two Nease coaches
released both [have]- sons on
the team. I know these coach-
es, and they would never
jeopardize the success of their
own son's team by doing
something that they under-
stood to be against the rules.
So,, it seems that I know a
lot more than I thought.

Help defeat retailing Goliath in NB


To the editor:
What's the point of a non-
binding mediation Nov.
30th? Does anyone seriously
think Wal-Mart is going to
.give in and modify their
SuperCenter application to
bring it within NB's ordi-
nances regarding scale, bulk
and mass? Or :that the NB
City Council will concede
that failed Traffic
Concurrency no longer mat-
ters? .
Their request for a .media-
tion after their application for
a SuperCenter in Neptune
Beach was rejected seems
more like an attempt at
intimidation by the land-
owners and Wal-MartL. They
offer us an "opportunity" to
avoid their $40 'million law-
suit - and it only requires that
we abandon the city ordi-
nances that were designed to


serve the community as a
whole to give permission for
unfettered development.
What part of "NO" don't they
get? NB's Planning and
Development Review Board
said "NO" for sound legal rea-
sons. The majority 'of the
City Council has served the
best interests of their commu-
nity well and said "NO" for
sound legal reasons.
If they haven't figured it
out yet, Wal-Mart should be'
informed that the beaches
community also is NOT indif-
ferent to their tactics. Wal-
Mart has been tol61d "We will
not be intimidated". I guess
they need to hear it again!
WAKE UP WAL-MART - YOU
JUST DON'T FIT HERE AT
THE BEACH!
Let's use this "opportunity"
that Wal-Mart themselves
have created to send THEM a


message - loud and clear and
unmistakable. Just imagine:

the mediator, but what a
grand opportunity for ALL of
us to show Wal-Mart how we
feel about their plans. The
more people that attend the

I'm hot

for chili

O ur. weather's getting.
chilly, so more chili
pots are steaming. It
was seasonally appropriate,
then, that I was asked recently
tobe the judge for a chili
cook-off contest held at the
Jacksonville Beach Women's
Club by the Awakening Heart
Ministries (AHMI, a local reli-
gious group.
One of my main qualifica-
tions for such a function is that,
whenever I cook for others,
they always pray before they
eat. Another reason for having
me as the judge is that I truly
like Chili. I spent a week there
once and thought the capital,
Santiago, was a very nice city.
Despite my outstanding cre-
dentials, I had difficulty decid-
ing on the winning entry. Of
course, each sample was;in a'
separate dish. I believe if they
were all dumped in one dish, it
would have been even harder to
pick the winner. Naturally, each
dish was numbered, no name
shown. That way, I wouldn't
know whose entry it was and
thereby be able to determine
who I should sue if I got sick.
No, seriously, all the samples
were delicious, so I was stumped
about designating the one to
get the blue ribbon.
I considered just counting the
beans in each bowl, because I
love beans. Then again, that
would not have "bean.' fair.
Another approach was" to select
the chili that generated the
loudest burp. I discarded that
idea since one of the cooks
might have an advantage, hav-
ing been born in Brussels or
some other place in Belchin.
Not to be too flippant, I con-
fess that, in the end, I relied
completely on my taste buds,
such as they are. . was pleased
to note that no one apparently
had used some weird ingredi-
ents that have found their way
into chili recipes over the years;
e.g., chocolate, peanut butter,
pineapple, coffee, honey, and so
on. (Aaaargh!) . .
Members of the group obvi-
ously value 'honesty and fair-
ness. I would bet my Bible that
,nobody pulled a gag which I
heard surfaced in another chili
contest. The (im)practical joker
entered apot of store-bought,
canned chili, and the entry won
firstprize! I'm confident that no
fragments of can labels were
found in any of the AHM chili
pots.
No doubt, also, the attendees
of the AHM affair had their
hunger happily awakened by
the chili served. It's been hap-
pening for ages. Allegedly, the
last words of Kit Carson, fron-
tiersman, were, "Wish I had
time for just one more bowl of
chili." Hey, maybe there's chili
in Heaven.

More letters to the editor:

Program to teach tolerance is wrong


To the editor:
I read your paper's article
titled 'MIX IT UP... at Mayport.
Middle' in the Nov. 17, 2006
Beaches Leader with great
interest.
It is outrageous that school
officials believe that they
have the power to order chil-
dren to have lunch with those
who are not in their social cir-
cle.
It is laughable beyond
measure that they believe that
ordering children to have
lunch with other children will
defeat the problem of bully-
ing in schools. Just look at
this logically. -
People with power, i.e.
school officials, compel peo-
ple without power, i.e. school-
children, to eat lunch with
those with whom they other-.
wise Would not choose to eat.
And this show of brute force
by school administrators issu-
ing mandates, as suit their
whimsy, is. supposed to teach
children NOT to engage in
bul ing, in precisely what'
way
The presence of uniformed


naval personnel at this event
is merely more evidence of its
essentially totalitarian flavor.
Dictators such as Hitler to
Stalin to Saddam have used
the child's admiration of uni-
formed. personnel as a means
to compel.'right thinking.'.
Simply put, the decisions of
children concerning whom
they wish to associate with
are theirs alone, subject only,
to parental approval. The
opinions of children about
others are theirs alone, as is
their right in our allegedly
free society.,
If there is a problem with
physical .assault in the school,
then remove the wrongdoers,
place them in schools for dis-
cipline problems or juvenile
prisons as needed.
If there is ,a problem with
students verbally harassing
others, there are legal. protec-
tions all Americans (including
children) enjoy regarding a
safe workplace, and there are
more traditional means of
punishing harassment.
Suspensions, parental con-.
ferences, forcing the wrong-


.doer to stay after school, to
attend special. counseling, or
even to spend .lunch and
recess away from his peers
and under special supervision
are all traditional means of
dealing with the student who
harasses others.
There is no need for would-,
be, commissars to punish
'wrong thinking.'
All children are entitled to
respect from each other and
from school personnel. They
are entitled to be 'free from
bullying and from other
forms of harassment.
They, however, are entitled
to associate freely with those
with whom they wish to asso-
ciate, even if their choices are
not politically correct, with-
out those decisions being
micromanaged by taxpayer-
financed busybodies.
Toss this totalitarian 'Mix It
Up Day' on the scrap heap of
history along with the
remains of the Berlin Wall
and the Lenin Statues.

Vocal criticism of some Nease

fans in the stands must stop

as it is unfair to student athletes


To the editor:
I would like to express myconcern over the
behavior of some fans at Nease football games.
For the rliost part, Nease has wonderful fans
that come out and support the players, cheer-
ing them on no matter what. The school is
lucky to have such enthusiastic people there
week after week who love to watch the team.
play.
Unfortunately, there are a few people in the
stands that ruin the games for others with their
judgmental comments and negativity. Many of
the players' families and friends have noticed a
couple of people that feel it necessary to tear,
apart players' performances. Those boys are out
on the'field playing a sport they love. Not only
are these boys athletes, but they are students
who have other responsibilities. These young
'men put a lot on the line to play football
including physical injury. ,
In the Merritt Island game, three players were
hurt and more have been hurt in practice and
previous games during the season. Each and
every player has tremendous dedication 'to
their team and coaches. It is so horrible to heai
people in the stands make .disparaging com-
ments about the boys if they do something the
slightest bit wrong.
I imagine those boys feel pretty awful when
they make mistakes out there in front of all the
people that come to watch them. Why is is
that those select few "fans" must announce to
everyone seated around them the child's mis-
take and proceed to make critical remarks?
What self-righteous person thinks that player's
friends and family want to hear other people'
talk that way about them and criticize the team


True or False:
Rats carry as many as ten diseases.


as a whole?
We must all keep in mind while Nease has an
outstanding football team, it is still a group of
high school boys that are not perfect..
These few individuals that have been causing
distress to players' friends and families often do
not themselves have children on the team. I
would like these people to think how they
would feel if a group. of people came and
watched their children for three hours all the
while passing condescending remarks about
their flaws. I find it very discouraging that
these.people are so self-centered and unkind
that they can't think that perhaps their nega-
tivity is unwanted. The boys are fighting to win
on the fields. Your abuse in the stands in
uncalled for and mean-spirited. Those of you
that are causing a problem, I ask you two
things: First, what are you so insecure about
that the remedy is to come to a high school
football game and pass judgment on 15 to 18-
year-olds? Second, if a group of players' families
can guess your'identity just from hearing about
your ugly running narration of the game from
someone having the bad luck to sit within
earshot of you, isn't it time to direct your focus
elsewhere?
To the fans who are there every game sup-
porting our boys, we thank you. You are a huge
support of the team and the boys are truly
lucky to have that. To the other few who like
to cut down the players, there is an old saying:
If you don't have anything nice to say don't say
anything at all.
Tricia Carzoli

TRUE! Bubonic Plague urinee typhus., spirochetal
jaundice, and-rabies are just a few. As the weather turns
cool, rats seek food and warmth in your allic, gnawing
on wood and wiring, and leaving an unhealthy, smelly
and damagin mess.

Codes violations rise in JB


by LIZA MITCHELL.
STAFF WRITER
Jacksonville Beach code
inspectors are working to
reduce the number of viola-
tions by educating the com-
munity about the city's poli-
cies regarding junk, work per-
mits and tree removal.
Code AInspector Debbie
White said people are often
unaware that canvas carports,
canopies arid "Pod" portable
storage containers on their,
property are prohibited.
White said one of the most
common violations includes
junk, ranging from aban-
doned, inoperable or partially
dismantled vehicles, and nui-
sances classified as junk,
trash, debris or other unsight-


ly properties.
Vehicles, whether or not
they are operational, are also
.required to have a valid tag
affixed to the vehicle. Signs,
however, are prohibited by
the city's Land Development
Code.
White ,said vehicles are
tagged with an orange sticker
to notify owners of a violation,
and a time frame to correct
the infraction before it is
towed at the owner's expense.:
Parking and storage of
heavy ' vehicles such as
campers, motor homes, large
commercial trucks an'd boats
over 20' in length on residen-
tial property also violates city.

Neighbors object saying downtown parking already limited

After two previous rejections, Lynch's Pub

gets permission to add 1,500 square feet

without having to add additional parking


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF t'WRITER
After twice being denied permission to expand, Lynch's Irish
Pub finally gained approval to add to its Jacksonville Beach
location.
The city's Board of Adjustment Tuesday granted a variance
for the pub at 514 1st Street North to add 1,500-square-feet in
lieu of the five required parking spaces.
General Manager Keith Doherty said the space will nrot
increase the pub's occupancy.
In the variance application, the size of the bathrooms and
the proximity of the dry storage area to a gas water heater were
listed as the reason for the variance.
"The space is much needed," Doherty said Wednesday. "It
will give us a chance to bring our bathrooms up to code. It will
be nice to have a real office. My office consists of a table at the
back door."
BOA member Keith Hall cast the sole vote against the vari-
ance, claiming that the expansion would increase the lot cov-
erage by 45 percent.
Jud Spence and Thad Moseley, who both own property in the


Uniform medians for
Mayport Road redo
The Mayport Waterfront
Partnership decided Tuesday to
adopt the same design plan as
Atlantic Beach for landscaping
medians along Mayport Road
to maintain uniformity.
There were three concepts
proposed for the medians
planned for the road, which
run through both Atlantic
Beach and a portion of
Jacksonville - where the part-
nership has responsibility.
The city of Atlantic Beach
opted for a combination of two
of the concepts and the part-
nership decided to follow suit
so that the look will be consis-
tent. .
The medians will. have
stamped concrete, perennial
pea for the ground and
SMedjool palms alternating
with crepe myrtle and sabal
palms, according to Rick,
Carper, Atlantic Beach public
works director. .
The work will begin June
or July after it has been
approved by. the state
Department of Transportation,
the city of Jacksonville and the
city of Atlantic Beach, accord-
ing to Carper.
Affordable housing is
essential to Beaches
Savirg affordable housing
and financial counseling are
"part of the fabric" that makes
a good community, according
to Carolyn Ettlinger, executive
director of the Housing
Partnership of Northeast
Florida.
Ettlinger spoke at a Beaches
Business Association sheeting
Monday about the various pro-
grams the partnership offers to
the community and encour-
aged business involvement.
The partnership" was' estab-
lished 14 years ago to address
the broad spectrum of housing
needs in DuYal County,
Ettlinger said.
It now offers several different .
services to benefit the commu-
nity such as a neighborhood
rehabilitation program, a
home, ownership center which
offers financial and credit
counseling, a community
development program and
multi-family housing.
Ettlinger encouraged busi-
nesses to participate in team-
building events such as "Paint
the Town," where. multiple
groups consisting of 10 to 15
people help with the housing


Central Business District, urged the board to deny the request
because public parking is at a premium, especially in the down-
town area.
Doherty said he believes the request was granted because the
expansion would not add to the patronage.
"I've not known of too many people who want to drink in
the toilet," he said. "It's not new construction. It is what it is."
A prior request to add 4,000-square-feet to construct new
restroom facilities with handicapped access, dry storage, office
and cooler space was denied because the proposal also includ-
ed an additional 2,100-square-feet of pub space to install a
third bar and add four new pool tables.
According to the city's guidelines, BOA members must deter-
mine if a variance request meets certain criteria for approval,
including the nature of the hardship.
The burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate the
hardship.
Variances are not permitted for expansions to existing busi-
nesses that are "manifestly designed to attract new customers,"
according to city code.

repairs for a week in a specific
community each year.
Because the partnership is a
diverse reflection of people
from many areas of the
Jacksonville, Ettlinger urged
more businesses to get
involved through volunteering
and help the community as a
whole from 2000-2005 and
had managed country clubs
and hotels in North America
and Western Europe earlier in
his career.

Barry Chandler, the Upward
League Commissioner from
Neptunle Baptist Church.
In 2006, the second year for
Upward Basketball and
Cheerleading at the beach,
about 180) children from first-
through eighth grade partici-
pated, said Chandler.
"San Pablo is partnering with
Neptune Baptist and looking to
starting our own league in the
future," said Claude Ingle, San.
Pablo's Coordinator for the
faith-based sports program.
The nationally recognized,
program emphasizes Biblical
teachings and Christian values
along with sports skills.
"It's not just about basket-
ball, it's about growing God's
kingdom," said Chandler.
Through Upward Basketball
Sand Cheerleading. "we.'',y..hdd
severall decisions for Christ "
Our follow-up with the fam-
ilies encourages involvement
with a church or children's
ministry program, said
Chandler.
"It's not about building the
membership at Neptune
Baptist or San Pablo," he said.
Age-appropriate devotional
and Bible verses are part of
weekly practice session for
Upward Basketball or
Cheerleading.
Positive recognition is given
to the children for demonstrat-,
ing Christian values.
Upward is an all-inclusive


program that places every chil-
dren on.team and gives each
child equal playing/ time,
regardless of their experience
or skill level. . " , .

M emno to Florida "
Gators fans: Y'our
team isn't the sec-;!
ond best college football
team in the country. Even
beating Arkansas in the SEC_
' title game won't make it so.
There's no point going to the
BCS Championship Game
only to get waxed by Ohio
State. If the Gators take the
SEC crown, settle for the
Sugar Bowl and a chance to
win.

Speaking of college foot-
ball, have to laugh at all
the "experts" who went
through great pains to
explain why Rutgers
deserved a shot at the
national title if they, fin-
ished unbeaten. Yeah,
how'd that work out?

Baseball waits too long to
announce it's end-of-season
award winners. Most fans
have already moved on to
the saturation of college and
pro football as well as the
start of the college basketball
-season. X.Vantproof?..,Quick,
Salp e.the runnesu p-in .the--.

Thanks to Byron
Leftwich's ankle surgery,
there is no longer a quarter-
back controversy in
Jacksonville - for the next
few weeks anyway.
Nease High faces a tough
test tonight in Daytona
Seabreeze. \While the
Sandcrabs finished second to
Merritt Island in their dis-
trict, Seabreeze is clearly a
better'team. Look for Nease ,
to try to control the clock on
the ground, and the -
Sandcrabs to test the
Panthers secondary with an
aerial attack..

The national media,
much of which is head-
quartered in New York, can
be very parochial at times.
Before the Giants-Jaguars.
game'Monday night, most
of the focus was on how
injuries have depleted the
Giants. No mention was';
made of missing Jaguars
Greg Jones, Mike Peterson
and of course, Byron
Leftwich.

Spurrier to Miami? It's a
tantalizing possibility
because of the perception
that Steve Superior would
love the chance to be college
football king of Florida once
'again.

Oscar de la Hoya appar-
ently believes he needs one
last great bout to cement
his legacy. That's why last:
week he signed to fight
welterweight champ Floyd
Mayweather, Jr. It's a huge
risk for de la Hoya -.
Mayweather is considered
the best pound-for-pound
fighter on the planet - but
the May 5 bout promises to
be a big boost for a sport
That lately has been sagging
on the ropes like a punch-
, drunk contender.

Isn't it about time the Pro
Football Hall of Fame conve-
niently "misplaces" O.J.
Simpson's bust? Great player
on the gridiron, deplorable
human being in every other
regard. Thank goodness his
ill-fated book, "If I Did It"
will never hit shelves.

Ironic that the Jaguars
are looking forward to this
weekend's trip to Buffalo as
a chance to experience
some warmer weather.


FROM STAFF
Forty-degree temperatures
and a biting wind may have,
hampered the quality of play
Tuesday night as the Fletcher
boys soccer team battled
Stanton Prep,. but the Senators
.got the only goal of the game
and sprinted away victorious.
After a scoreless first half in
front of a sparse crowd of bun-
dled-up fans at Jack Taylor
,Stadium, Fletcher midfielder
DonaldGizena found the back
of the net on a second-half goal
that proved to be the game-
winner.
* With the 1-0 victory, Fletcher
improved t, 4-1 on the young
season.
,The game featured a great
deal of back-and-forth play,
although stellar defense from'
both the Senators and Blue
Devils limited ideal scoring
opportunities.
The cold temperatures were
tough enough to deal with, but
an icy, gusting wind hindered
comer kicks, goal kicks and
attempts at long passes. Fletcher
managed just three shots on
goal in the first half, one of
those coming off a direct free
kick.
GIRLS SOCCER
Fleming Island 3, Fletcher
0
The Fletcher girls soccer team
suffered its first loss of the sea-
son Tuesday at Fleming Island.
The Golden Eagles scored all
three of their goals in the first
half. Jane Buzzell had two of
the Fleming Island (8-0) goals,
while Katie Stilwell added the
third.
The Senators (3-1-21 are slated
to participate in this weekend's
Clearwater Tournament with
games Friday and Saturday
before returning to their regular-
season schedule next Tuesday
with a trip to Orange Park.
, Fletcher will be back home
next Thursday, Nov. 30, to host

Perry and Braswell


make commitments


By ROBERT DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR

Baseball season is still a few
months away but Fletcher
High infielders Sam Perry and
Patrick Braswell have verbally
accepted scholarship offers
from a'pair of
colleges.
Perry. a 6'1"
third base-
man and
pitcher for
the Senators
last season, is
set to attend
the Univer-
siry of North
Florida begin-
ning next fall.
B r a s w e 1,
Fl e t c h e r's
leadoff hitter and second
baseman, has opted for,
Savannah College of Art
Design.
Fletcher head baseball
coach Kevin Brown called
Perry the most versatile play-
er on his team.
"Sam can play any position
on the held including the bat-
tery as a pitcher or catcher,"
said Brown. "His teammates
call him 'Silk' because he's so
smooth at third base and has
a smooth batting stroke.
"We'll probably rely on him
a great deal as a pitcher next
season and at third, though


' scouts project him as; a short-
stop in college. He's just got
great range and is definitely a-
Div. I-type athlete."
Perry batted .362 with five
doubles, and three home runs
during the regular season last
year. He was also 7-1 as a
pitcher with
a 1.60 ERA.
i.-- .Braswell, ';a
5'8' , middle
infielder, was
the sparkplug

batting order
Last season.
"When I
was watching
the World
Series: this
year I realized
that Pat is a
clone of [the. Cardinals']
David Eckstein," Brown
remarked. "With the quick-
ness of Pat's throws and his
ability as a leadoff hitter, he
has all the tools to succeed on
the next level.
"In the leadoff spot last
year he showed power, an
ability to get on base and was
great at the hit-and-run."
Braswell made the Gateway
All-Conference team last sea-
son, recording five home runs
and batting .318.
Both players will make
their commitments official
on national signing day. ,

Some strange offithe-field injuries


If you are like me, during
football season you turn into
ESPN to see all of the great
plays as well as the great hits. I
also like to get an update on
who has been injured, and see
the plays on which the injury
occurred.
While there are many differ-
ent ways to get injured on the
field, over the years it has been
; shown that there are many,~, ,
ways to get hurt off.theiwf
too. These really are-reported
injuries, and I promise I am not
making this up.
Quarterback Brian Griese,
after having previously fallen
down in his driveway and
smashing his face, once tripped
over his dog, fell down the
stairs and sprained an ankle.
Former Jaguars punter Chris
Hanson once cut his leg with
an axe, chopping a log in the
locker room in what was sup-
posed to be a motivational
stunt. He had previously
missed time due to second
degree burns on his hands and
ankle from a fondue mishap.
And then there was the saga
of ThomasJones, Arizona
Cardinals running back, who
broke his hand while reaching
for the telephone.
However, the most ridiculous
excuse for missing game time
has to be from Kevin Mitchell,
former Redskins LB, who was
unable to play due to "strained
eyelids."
Baseball players seem to have
the most comical methods of
getting hurt. former Braves'
pitcher Tom Glavine once
: broke a rib while vomiting dur-
ing a team flight in 1992, and
John Smoltz once burned his
chest while ironing a shirt -
that he happened to be wearing
at the time.
Former Yankee Hall of Famer
Bill Dickey knocked himself
unconscious when he dove
into the dugout while celebrat-
ing the Yankees' winning the
, pennant.
Rickey Henderson once got
frostbite, in August, when he
fell asleep while icing his ankle.
Terry Harper partially dislo-
S cated his shoulder while wind-
milling a teammate home from
third base. Mark Quinn, out-
fielder for the Kansas City
Royals, cracked his ribs show-
ing his brother some kung fu
moves before the start of spring
training. Adam Eaton, pitcher,
4 stabbed himself in the stomach
with a knife trying to get the
shrink wrap off of a DVD.
Rangers outfielder Oddibe
McDowell sustained a three-
inch gash on his hand while
buttering a roll
It appears that the hotel
room is a common place of
injury. Wade Boggs fell into a
hotel couch while trying to pull
on his cowboy boots and sus-
tained bruised ribs.
Oakland A's pitcher Rich
Harden once strained his shoul-
der reaching for the snooze
button on his alarm. Chicago
Cub Glen Allen Hill, was
dreaming he was being


GRNGORY
SMITH, M.D.
CONTRIBUTOR


attacked by spiders, and
smashed a glass table top and
cut his hand.
Slugger Sammy Sosa once
missed two weeks due to a
strained ligament in his back.
The muscled home run hitter
for the Chicago Cubs was not
injured swinging for the fences,
not running the bases, and not
diving for a fly ball. No, he
was injured sneezing. That's


right, a sneeze caused him to
throw out his back.
Because of this Herculean
sneeze, Sosa developed back
spasms so bad that he required
epidural injections to calm this
down.
Injuries can be quite a pain
in the butt, as Tiger pitcher
Dave Rozema found out.
Teammate Kirk Gibson pulled a
locker room stool away from
Rozema, who happened to
have a glass bottle of cough
syrup in his back pocket. The
bottle crushed, the glass shards
ended up. in his buttocks, and
Rozema missed his next start.
And finally in keeping with
the theme of missed game time
for ridiculous reasons I give you
the case of Pascual Perez. The
former Atlanta Braves pitcher,
missed a scheduled start when
he got lost and couldn't find
the stadium - for an Atlanta
home game.

Hope all of you with trop-
ical plants have taken the
steps talked about several
weeks ago so your plants are
protected.
A quick rehash: If you
have citrus and have not yet
covered the grafted area
with polyurethane foam,
sand or dirt, you'd better do
that first.
Then get your stash of
blankets, old sheets, newspa-
pers, etc. piled in a conven-
ient spot so you can hustle
to cover tender plants when

in the 30's occur.
Tropical plants like
bougainvillea, mandevilla,
allemande, hibiscus, orchids,
poinsettias, some gingers,
newly-planted cold hardy
annuals, and some of the
more tender palms will need
protection from frosts.
, However, some need protec-
tion even when the temp
drops to anything below 40.
Remember to remove the
coverings after morning
temperatures get above 40
or your plants will cook.
For those of you who will
be buying Christmas trees,
remember that the stands
that are providing protec-
tion for the trees with tents
or heavy tree canopy are the
best places to look.
Keeping in mind that
these trees were probably
cut back in late September,
they have been slowly dry-
ing out, so by the time they
are unwrapped here, they
are in dire need of a drink of
water.
Your best places will do
that on a daily basis, and
they will also have a chain
saw ready to make a fresh
horizontal cut across the
trunk so that when you get
the tree home, you can
either put it in a water-filled
bucket until you are ready
to take it inside, or if imme-
diately taken indoors, your
tree stand should be the
type that holds water and
you can do fill it right away.
Keeping the tree from dry-
ing out and presenting a fire
hazard is the goal.
The Cooperative
Extension Service has a cur-
rent list of U-Cut Christmas
Tree farms, so if that is your
idea, give them a call for the
locations and phone num-
bers before you head out.
Keep in mind that once cut,
the tree will start its drying
process, so be sure and
either put it up immediately
or manage its time outside
so it gets sprayed a few
times a day with water, and
the bucket is always full
with fresh water.
Make a fresh cut to the
trunk just prior to bringing
it indoors; sap clogs the
pores preventing the uptake
of water and nutrients once
the tree is cut.
And, there is no research
that proves the addition of
sugar, or other magical
ingredients like baking soda,
vinegar, etc., etc. actually
make the tree flame retar-
dant or fresher, just thought
I'd throw that in.
So many folks, me includ-
ed, have resorted to fake
trees, and 1,11 tell you I was
really reluctant to go that
route. I mean, how could a
New Englander buy a fake
Christmas tree? That's about
as hypocrifcal as it gets.
My tree always goes in our
family room which has a
wall of windows witti full
western exposure. Within
days of putting the tree up,
needles were falling down

Fleming's debut novel


sets the stage for Bond


by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
James Bond, the dashing
British secret agent in lan
Fleming's debut novel,
"Casino Royale," drove a vin-
tage Bentley, gambled and
smoked heavily and uttered
politically incorrect phrases
such as "women. are for recre-
ation."
The first of Fleming's 007
novels, "Casino Rovale"
(1953) is the basis for the lat-
est Bond film starring Daniel
Craig.
Unlike Bond in the film,
Bond never fires a.shot or
throws a punch in the book.
Most of the action is relegated
to the baccarat table, where
007 matches wits with a high-
rolling Russian operative "on
the brink of a financial crisis."
And despite having two kills
to his credit, the introspective
secret agent downplays his
Double-O status.
"It's not difficult to get a
Double 0 number, if you're
prepared to kill people," Bond
tells his first - and last - true
love, Vesper Lynd in the book.
"It's nothing to be particu-
larly proud of. One does what
one is told."
This is a budding Bond,
more emotionally and physi-
cally vulnerable than in later
novels, or films, for that mat-
ter.
As much as he likes to play
the field, Bond is smitten by
the beautiful Lynd, and the
romance has dire conse-
quences for byth.
In the novel, Bond drives
his battleship-grey Bentley
"hard and well and with an
almost sensuaj,pLeasure,"
To hirfim woi'an are like
luck, "to be softly wooed or
brutally ravaged, never pan-
dered to or pursued," the book
says. ,,


Gambling, something
Fleming admitted he was
never good at in his personal
life, is the novel's dark under-
belly.
"The grass-green baise bat-
tlefield soaks up the blood of
its victims," writes Fleming
about the evil-tinged card
table.
"The scent and sweat of a
casino are nauseating at three
in the morning. The soul ero-
sion produced by high gam-
bling - a compost of greed
and fear and nervous tension."
If nothing else, the reader
comes away with at least a
rudimentary knowledge of
high-stakes baccarat and
Bond's back story.
Never before "melted" by a
woman, Bond falls in love in
"Casino Royale," but is double
crossed in the end.
The emotional scar silences
his heart and strengthens his
resolve "to take on SMERSH
and hunt it down."
"The business of espionage
could be left to the white-col-
lar guys," the book concludes.
"He would go after the
threat behind the spies, the
threat that made them spy."


Plenty of turkeys at


box office this week


by STEVE BAILEY
REVTIEIER
You just finished a
Thanksgiving dinner that was
alternately satisfying and
bloating. Now you can check
out some holiday movies that
will have the same effect on
you.
Opening this week:

"Deck the Halls" - Two
neighbors (Danny DeVito and
Matthew Broderick) compete
to see who has the biggest, er,
Christmas lights. This one
looks like "Surviving Christmas
2" to me.
"Bobby" - Emilio Estevez
wrote and directed this bio-


flick about the late Sen. Robert
Kennedy. Well-intentioned,
but it's already getting bad
buzz -- and who's dying to see
Lindsay Lohan in a bouffant?
"For Your Consideration" -
Another improv-fest from
Christopher Guest & Co. ("Best
In Show"), about some movie
actors who go crazy when their
flick is said to generate Oscar
buzz.
"Tenacious D: The Pick of
Destiny" - Jack Black and Kyle
Gass do their mock-rock rou-
tine about a musical duo in
search of the Holy Grail of gui-
tar picks. Yes, folks, in today's
world, this passes for a movie
plot.


Lionti building artist's environment


by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
STAFF It'RITER
A flamingo rendition of
Groucho MNarx and a red hat
lady hang out near a bottle
tree in the front yard of a
local. atist's house.
The yard is the beginning
of an "artist's environment,"
created by F. Caterina Lionti,
a Beaches abstract artist who
wanted to establish a place
that evokes happy feelings,
in part because of her hus-
band's cancer and for others
to enjoy, in general.
Lionti is not your typical
artist. Much of her work,
which is mostly abstract, is
created on a computer using
a fractal, which is a geomet-
ric formula, according to
Lionti. Although her work is
done on a computer, Lionti
Equates the process to a dif-
ferent form of painting.'
Using several computer pro-
grams, Lionti is able to layer
colors and "paint with light"
as she describes it.
She inputs' the formula
into the computer arid cre-
ates abstract images, full of
bold color and light. Her'art
feels like an ebb between


light-hear-ted and mysterious
- much like she.does.
For example, one of her
paintings, "Glass Worlds,"
actually looks as if the float-
ing orbs in the painting are
glowing. The effect is other-
worldly.
Perhaps that is because
many of Lionti's ideas are
inspired by her dreams.
"I get my ideas at 3 o'clock
in the morning." said Lionti,
who can't sleep on an idea
and feels compelled to work
when the thought strikes.
One of her next projects
involves a sculpture that she
has seen repeatedly in a reoc-
curring dream which rotates
so she can see how it should
be made.
Her work today is often
inspired by the images and
cultures ,she has been sur-
rounded by in her travels.'
Many, of her pieces are
inspired by the water, which
she loves. For example, she
created "Bayou Mysteries"
from her memories of living
near the swamps in
Mississippi. The painting
evokes feelings of mystery
and intrigue with swirling


tendrils of dark color.
"The swamps fascinated
me," she said.
While some of her work
eludes to a more enigmatic
side of her personality,
Lionti has a playful and
quirky spirit.
She is currently creating an
"artist's environment," a
themed setting that artists
use to express ideas and
thoughts to the world. Some
artists create religious mon-
tages, for example, others,
such as Lionti take a more
humorous approach.
"When people come here,
it'll make them smile," she
said. Her goal is to create a
happy place for she and her
husband to enjoy as well as
to spread happiness to oth-
ers.
When the environment is
complete, it will include a
"wall of wisdom," full of
quotes, a geodesic sphere,
covered in glass, and toilets
converted into mosaic chairs
for the front porch.
While Lionti wants her art
to bring some deep meaning
to people, she also likes to
make it fun, she said.

Lionti's bottle tree, decorated with glass bottles hanging from
the branches, certainly adds a flair to her Beaches yard.

Matheson: Select plant material wisely


Contd. from B-I
like rain. The great balsam
smell didn't last because of
the sun, ornaments would fall
off, and heaven forbid anyone
brush against a branch,
because then the entire
i branch would become bare
I almost instantly.
S\e had a "Charlie Brown"
Christmas tree most of the
uime. So a few years ago we
bit the bullet, bought a fake
one complete with lights.
Now I spray balsam smelling
stuft and-use-plug-ins for that
.�f elP:Ayf t.-qt.tree.,smell. got
proud of it, but I also didn't
want a fire.
I will touch on the care of
poinsettias next week since I
know many folks will be buy-
ing those right away. Before
ne\t week's paper, if it gets
cold at night, move any you
have outdoors to the garage.
Now, I have just a few com-
ments to make on a couple of
other plants that have noth-
ing to do with the December
holidays, but with the change
of the natural seasons.
This is a very good time to
notice pine trees that are
dying because they stand out
against the brilliant blue sky
at this time of year.
The tops begin to turn a
light green, then yellow, then
more of the tree exhibits this,
and soon you see brown
branches so when a storm
comes along, limbs start
crashing down.
The southern pine bark bee-
tle is doing a nasty job on the
pines. There is no cure for
this, and you may as well
accept that the tree will have
to be removed, sooner rather
than later.
Also notice that as beautiful
as Live Oaks are, they have
seeds which fall all over, stain-
ing whatever they hit. They
lose the seedpods now, mak-


ing a mess of driveways and
sidewalks; and in a few
months will lose their leaves
so fast you will not even
know it, but you,11 have tons
of leaves to rake up.
The Live Oak is,# fabulous
tree for-all the righ.t-reasons,
but one was plah'ted in thi
wrong place can be a pain. We
inherited one prior to our
moving in and my sidewalks
and driveway look very
unsightly-.
Soon the seeds will have
fallen, but hopeful!lytiming is
synchronized with the drop- ,
ping of the seedpods from
nearby crape myrtles and we
will just need to pressure
wash once. One more thing to
add to the list.
The popular Drake Elm is
also giving us fits now. It is
sending out a million light
green seedpods that drop
everywhere, and wherever
they do drop, a sprout will
grow.
Did you know that if your
tree hangs over into your
neighbor's yard, the neighbor
has the legal right to cut off
all of the intrusive branches?
This applies to any tree,
bush, whatever that invades a
neighbor's property. If you
have this situation, remember
to talk to your neighbor about
it before tempers flare and the
tree gets decimated by his
incorrect pruning.
And, if you have a small lot,
think about planting a differ-
ent type of tree that will not
encroach on another,s proper-
ty. So many subdivisions are
being built with close to zero
lot lines, making the selection
of correct plant material very
important.
The extension service has
numerous brochures and tips
that can help you select the
proper plant for the proper
place.


Pampas grass can be pruned
anytime during the winter,
and it can be shaved if
desired. Be sure and wear pro-
tective clothing to cover your.
arms, hands, legs and face
because the saw tooth blades
on the 5;alKslire lethal.
Since most of the varieties
are in plumage now, it is a
great time to gather plumes
for arrangements and to take �
one to a nursery if that is the
species you especially want to
buy.
Lastly, there are a few trees
,that seem to have planned
obsolescence, living about 15
years and then starting to
decline for no apparent rea-
son. Nothing will halt the
process for it is genetic.
Wax myrtles, sycamores,
some maples are just a few
that do this. Our huge wax
myrtle hedge, planted to
thwart golfers from encroach-
ing on our property to collect
their golf balls, is dying, mak-
ing large voids in our land-
scape.
They are all about 14 years
in age. I knew this at the time
of selection, but thought it
wouldn't happen to us. Now
we are up against a big prob-
lem, and an expensive one at
that.
I have plenty of research to
do before we purchase
replacements, but I have to
say, I should have known bet-
ter and not planted those.
Whether the golfers come
prowling into the yard is yet
to be seen, but the void is
awful. So, be aware of things
like this and select plant
material wisely.
That's it for today. Next
week and the weeks following,
I'll be talking about typical
holiday stuff as it relates to
plants. If you have topics
you'd like me to discuss, call
me at 363-9872.

I


W ords of a master
painter with whom I
studied: "Forget
everything you have ever
learned in art classes and put
something down on the can-
vas."
These words came to mind
when viewing the new exhibit
of works by Yolanda Sanchez
at the J. Johnson Gallery in
Jacksonville Beach.
Sanchez's exhibit opened
last week.
Beautiful shades of pink,
yellow, orange, a dab here and
there of deep green and black
lines running through all
these lovely colors are dis-
played on large white canvas-
es.
This is not what you would
expect from the scholarly .
Sanchez with the impressive
educational background.
It is almost childlike and
will provoke adverse criticism
from those who enjoy only
photographic realism..
: However, it took courage,'
imagination, a knowledge of
color and experimentation to
create these truly original
works of art. They cannot be"
copied and represent the
imagination and skill of an
artist who understands color
and is not afraid to use it.
See this exhibit through Jan.
26 at 177 4th Ave. N. Call

tion.

Blood and gore always seen
to generate crowds. Whether
it's accidents (the "Faces of
Death" series, war films or
flicks about pathological serial
killers who mutilate inno-
cents, they will probably
always be viable commercial
enterprises.
Now "Heartstopper," 92
minutes of horror starring
Robert "Freddy" Englund of*
"Nightmare on Elm Street"
fame, just might be coming -
via $26 DVD - to your living
room. Though a typical teen
slasher movie, Englund's
'"Heartstopper" performance
puts life into what otherwise
S might be characterized as a
routine bloodfest!
Though there isn't much tc
say about the "Heartstopper"
genre that hasn't already been
described by others ad nause-
um, you'll be surprised by its
unusually strong initial 10
minutes.
It graphically depicts the
supposed electrocution of

Smoochy," "Land of the

Dead"). Binkley, in
"Heartstopper" known for
innumerable and unspeakable
. crimes, is finally being forced
to account. Thousands of
' amps of electricity rip through
his body, steam rises from his
cooking flesh, and a doctor
soon pronounces him dead.
Pulling the switch is Englund
as, of all things, the local sher-
iff.
Both actually give notable
performances in this short sec-
tion, but a truly skillful direc-
tor's handling could undoubt-
edly sustain their fleeting
excellence throughout an
entire picture.
Binkley, fried crisply by Old
Sparky, is bundled off to the
local hospital. But (surprise!)
he isn't dead! Somehow, he's
acquired supernatural, demon-
ic powers and is mysteriously
linked to fellow hospital
n patient Meredith Henderson
("Queer as Folk," "Beach
Girls"). For Binkley to stay

his hand into his many new
victims ' chests and enthusias-
tically rip out their still-beat-
ing hearts.
No one, of course, can sim-
ply leave the isolated hospital.
A terrific storm precludes this,
and for cinematic reasons,
neither the exit doors nor
windows work.
The remainder of this unrat-
ed flick revolves around the
hospital staff, et al's, efforts to
avoid heartlessness. Nathan
Stephenson ("Brother from
Another Planet") gives a com-
petent performance as does
Laura DeCarteret ("Dawn of
the Dead," "Mean Girls").
Additional details would spoil
the ending for potential view-
ers.'
Directing this morbid; flick
was Bob Keen, who until now,
exclusively worked in special
effects and make-up. Credits
include "Aliep," "Hellraiser"
and "Children of the Corn."
Authoring the screenplay was
Vlady Pildysh, who has no

5. Make the wrapping part of

6. Don't throw out all of
those scraps of ribbon that

them together so that they'

gift box completely. The result

8. Sometimes simple materi-

Brown postal paper stamped

raffia will set gifts apart.
9. Creativity should not only
lie in the gift wrap. Think of
clever ways to present the gift


to heighten the sense of antici-
pation. Have the gift recipient
follow a set 'of clues on a "treas-
ure hunt." Or hide the gift
inside something else. For
example, a ring set inside of a
rosebud that has not yet
opened will yield a wonderful
surprise when the flower
blooms.

under gift wrap? Use the box
-itself to create a personalized
package. Simply cut out pat-
terns in the box, such as a
snowflake, snowman, candle,
etc., depending upon the occa-

like an X-acto knife. Line the
box with colored tissue paper,
and the color will show

Eight ways I make my kitchen cook


Love to cook and am pretty
good at it, too. Dinner's on
the table every night at six
and no one leaves hungry.
But, what helps me most is
not the years I've spent refin-
ing my culinary skills, it's the
tools that I've built into the
kitchen that makes me the
most efficient and able to turn
out great-tasting food quickly.
See if these tips don't help
you, too.
1. Large sink. The problem
with double sinks is that few
use the double-bowl wash and
rinse method anymore.
Today, a large one bowl sink
makes the most sense. In my
kitchen, I have one extra large
bowl with a small disposal
bowl and built-in dram board.
Farm or.
2. Spice storage. For season-


ings I use daily, I attached a
wall hanger next to the stove
and put my cooking spray,
favorite spices,,salt and pepper
here. I even keep a bottle of
olive oil here so it's at the


ready.
3. More refrigeration.
When people complain about
the refrigerator, it's usually
because there's not enough of
it. An often overlooked option
is the single door "all refriger-
ator" and "all freezer."
Instead of the combination
unit, I have an individual
refrigerator and freezer in my
kitchen.
With these two units, I have
a whopping 35 square feet of
space instead of the usual 25
or so square feet of space
available in a combination
refrigerator/freezer.
Best of all, I got a high-end
amount of storage with a reg-
ular refrigerator price tag.
4. Go big. Recently I needed
a utensil holder but the ones
at the home center only held


about six items. So, I took a
spatula to my garden center to
size up a new utensil holder. I
bought a beautiful ceramic
pot to hold all my utensils.
Think about size in your
kitchen. You need items large
enough to suit your needs. If
you don't find what you need
off the rack, improvise or have
something custom made for
you. I had a giant platter cus-
tom made for me by The
Hairy Potters (wi. that holds a
whole pound of cooked pasta.
Don't think custom is out of
your reach.
5. Kitchen garden. Nothing
makes your good cooking sing
like fresh herbs and vegeta-
bles. I have a kitchen garden
that I couldn't live without.
Take the time to take your
kitchen outdoors and plant


some herbs and lettuces.
My kitchen garden consists
of mesclun lettuce, radishes,
dill, basil, thyme, shallots,
mint, and oregano.
6. Towel bar. If you're like
me, you're always looking for
a dishtowel to handle a hot
pan or to place a wet dish on.
Instead of hooks in a cabinet
door, install a small towel rail
on your island or cabinet.
7. Quality cookware. If
you're tired of scorching'your
foods, try cast iron. Funny,
but this old stand-by is now
being favored by cooks like
Emeril Lagasse.
Yes, it's extremely heavy
and that's what I don't like
about it, but it goes from
stovetop to oven and doesn't
cost an arm and a leg. Even
simple cornbread can be


transformed from yellow
blandness to gustatory heights
with the crunchy-golden crust
cast iron makes.
8. Organization. Kitchen
organization makes every-
thing go easier. Whether it's a
cabinet over the dishwasher
where dishes can be unloaded
without walking or a well-
organized pantry, organization
will make you work less and
be more efficient in the
kitchen.
Even unsightly trashcans
can be put under the sink
with a pull-out trash can.
Pull out organizers and bas-
kets are extremely useful and
easy to retrofit into most cabi-
nets.

weber@sbcglobal.net. Visit

Pnolo submirntea
A kitchen garden with lettuces and herbs ready for snipping is a wonderful addition to any kitchen
and can be planted in a small amount of space. Many kinds of herbs and lettuces, radishes, and
other small salad items can be grown in many parts of the country in the winter.



Timely Tips


by KATE WORTH
MAKE ROOM - Now that the
holidays ate here, I thought I'd
share this tip for storing a lot
of food in your refrigerator.
You'll gain more room in less
space with square and rectan-
gular storage containers.
Round containers, waste more
room in the fridge, freezer and
cabinets. Lisa J.1

BAKER'S CHOICE - I do a lot
of baking this time of year.
When a cake recipe calls for
flouring the baking pan, I use a
bit of the dry cake mix instead
- no white mess on the outside
of the cake. Bett' G.

CLEAN IT UP - To make
cleaning grease splatters on the

wall behind the stove easier,
first, clean the painted wall
behind your stove. Then spray
the entire area with a generous
coat of furniture polish and
buff well with paper towels.
You will then be able to wipe
future grease splatters away
easily with a dry sheet of paper
towels. Alma T.

CARPET CLEANING - If
you're like me, you'll probably
be having lots of company this
time of year, which means
spills and stains on the rug. If
someone spills coffee, here's
what I do: I blot the spilled cof-
fee from the carpet with baby
wipes. The wipes absorb coffee
without leaving a stain. Terry
K.


FOLLOW THE SIGNS - If you
have an unfinished basement
or crawlspace, check for leaks
by looking for spider webs. If
there is a web, there is a draft.
A large amount of heat is also
lost from an uninsulated base-
ment. If you take care of these
leaks and insulate your base-
ment, you'll save a lot of
money on heating costs every
year. Fred B.
