Weekend Edition Vol. 45, No. 95 PONTE VEDRA An edition of The Beaches Leader LEADER Serving the communities of Ponte Vedra Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Mayport since 1963 50t ARC, Veranda reach accord Multiple signs OK'd for A1A by KATHY HARTMAN EDITOR Members of the Ponte Vedra Architectural Review Committee (ARC) agreed this week to allow multiple signs on walls of the six buildings of the Veranda complex on State Road A1A, over the objections of some residents. At an ARC meeting Wednesday, members at first balked at the plan but relent- ed after the Veranda develop- er, Donis Home, and his attorney, Isabelle Lopez, said the signs are needed to attract national businesses as ten- ants. "These people are national tenants that want monument signs and wall signs," Home said, adding that he was being penalized because he built an attractive complex. The multi-story buildings on the west side of A1A just south of PGA Tour Boulevard have multiple tenants, but ARC rules limit commercial properties to one, 24-square- foot wall sign on the build- ing's front. The rules, contained in the County's Land Development Code, specify criteria for building colors and materials, signs and landscaping for commercial and multifamily development along major roads in Ponte Vedra Beach and Palm Valley. A building divided into units for several businesses can have one sign per busi- ness, such as strip malls. But Home said he didn't want to add another strip cen- ter along A1A. photo by KATHY HARTMAN Isabelle Lopez (left), attorney for the developer of the Veranda business complex on State Road A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach, explains the Veranda's wall sign proposal to audience members during the Ponte Vedra Architectural Review Committee meeting Wednesday at the Ponte Vedra Beach' Branch Library. The plan calls for more signs than are allowed under ARC rules but fewer than are allowed under vested rights of the PUD. Patrick McCormack, St. Johns County attorney, said that under the plan, "everyone is less unhappy than they otherwise would be." "If I'd done an ugly build- ing, I could have signs," he told ARC members. Although the ARC's approval was not required for the Veranda sign plan, the item was referred to ARC by the St. Johns County Commission April..29. Chairman Tom Manuel of Ponte Vedra Beach said he hoped the sign issue could be "resolved at the community level, . . . which, of course, would be our preference." The requested sign plan is a County Commission matter because it would be a major modification to the Sawgrass Players Club Planned Unit Development (PUD). Because the Veranda has rights under the original PUD, it could have one sign per business unit. But Lopez told the ARC her client realized the community did not want the "checkerboard look that would result from allowing that many signs. Several members of the. standing-room-only audience packed into the PGA Tour Media Center of the library spoke against the plan. Dan MacDonald said the same issue came before the ARC two years ago and was rejected. "They [the applicants] don't seem to understand the word 'No,' and it's time they do," he said. "We're not Jacksonville Beach. We don't want to look like Jacksonville Beach," Kathryn Hoza said. Acknowledging that "the outcome may not be what.the community wants," Lopez said Home had "cut it [the sign plan] to the bone" in ask- ing for the plan for wall and awning signs. For the three buildings that See VERANDA, A-3>- Water proposal worries landscapers Once-a-week watering eyed by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES STAFF WRITER Local irrigation and landscape specialists say once per week irrigation won't cut it for lawn maintenance. The St. Johns River Water Management District recently proposed new rules that would limit most lawn irrigation to once per week from November through March instead of the current twice per week allowance, according to Theresa Monson, the district's Senior Communications Specialist. The proposed rules would apply to all lawn and landscape irrigation, agriculture, nurseries, golf courses and recreational areas not regulated by a con- sumptive use permit," according to information provided by the district. Most local golf courses, already have a consumptive use permit with stringent limita- tions, accord- ing to Monson. But local A lot of pD experts say are going to that once per week irriga- start sho' tion for most spots and . residential lawns is not enough. "A lot of' - people's yards Jo e H '" are going to Iliq C turn yellow, start showing dead spots and have bugs [if the proposed rules are applied]," said Joe Conselice, owner of American Well and Irrigation, Inc. in Atlantic Beach. Most yards need 2.5 inches of water per week for a lawn to grow correctly, according to Conselice, who said with once per week watering "it's virtually impossible to give it 2.5 inches." According to the district's pro- posal, irrigation would be limit- ed to once per week from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. and !op )tu wir hav omp would be limit- ed to no more than three- le's yards quarters of an rn yellow, inch of water per zone, per ig dead irrigation day. e bugs. Irrigation days would be specified by . address. S.i The rule would also be may oMner expanded to apply to reclaimed water and storm water, but reclaimed water providers would be able to apply for a spe- cial permit to allow customers a specified additional irrigation day, according to district infor- mation. "The additional water conser- vation provisions would enhance water savings by expanding the irrigation limita- tions to include reclaimed water and storm water," said Hal Wilkening, the district's director of resource management. Twice per week irrigation would still be allowed during Daylight Savings Time, but irri- gation would be limited to no more than half an inch of water per zone per irrigation day. For a complete list of pro- posed changes, visit www.sjr- wmd.com/irrigation rule. .Conselice said the proposed plan is a "Catch 22." "It's great for the environ- ment, but yards are going to suf- fer." Larry Ridley, owner of Ridley's Landscaping and Irrigation which services areas in Ponte Vedra, said "soil won't hold the moisture for that long, especial- ly in August," resulting in a lot of dead grass. "Twice per week [irrigation] is the bare minimum," he said. "If that's what people are left with, they're going to want one hell of a watering system. You're going to have Niagara Falls on your one day of water- ing." Ridley also said lawn mainte- nance will become more diffi- cult. "When the lawn is dry, it See RULES, A-3)- Mayo researcher heads PV academy by KATHY HARTMAN EDITOR The woman heading the Ponte Vedra High School biotechnology academy went from high school teacher to college professor, to researcher at the Mayo Clinic and back to high school teacher. "She has a pretty impressive background," Craig Speziale, principal of Ponte Vedra High, said of .Dr. Kathryn Kehoe, director of the Academy of Biotechnology and Medical Research. "I think that that academy is going to fly," he said Thursday in a telephone interview. Kehoe, who teaches chem- istry at Bartram Trail High School in Northwest St. Johns County and lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, was mentioned during Speziale's visit last fall to Mayo Clinic "to diq:ussN how we could work together," Speziale said. Dr. Leonard Petrucelli, associate professor of neuro- Dr. Kathryn Kehoe science at the clinic in Jacksonville, mentioned that a St. Johns County teacher - Kehoe - was working in the laboratory. "So it just worked out per- fectly," Speziale said. Kehoe taught-high school chemistry in Ann Arbor, Mich., for five years, then went for a master's and a See BIOTECH, A-30- photo by KATHY HARTMAN Jesse Hicks, an employee with Winandy Greenhouse Co. of Indiana, applies caulk on the greenhouse at Ponte Vedra High School last week.

AROUND Mr. Nice Guys Trustees of the Ponte Vedra Municipal Service District (MSD) will try another "nice" approach to get residents to comply with a trash law. A "nice article" will be put in the MSD's next newsletter to remind residents that yard trash is not to be put curbside days in advance of scheduled collection. The MSD has already tried sending nice letters to viola- tors who were identified over a multi-week sweep of the area. MSD Chair Al Hollon said this week that some have responded and asked why the MSD is not concerned about other issues. The Ponte Vedra Community Association asked for help with the prob- lem in order to promote beautification in the commu- nity, Hollon noted at the MSD monthly meeting Monday in the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library. Trustee Gary Jurenovich said an article in the newslet- ter could spell out the prob- lem and "urge people to have pride." While trustees, agreed to put an item in the next newsletter, Hollon said ulti- mately the problem with the yard trash is a codes enforce- ment issue. MSD seats to be filled Five of the seven seats on the Ponte Vedra Municipal Service District (MSD) Board of Trustees will be up for elec- tion this fall. Two of the seats, 3 and 5, have been vacant for several months because the members who held them moved out of the MSD and resigned. Those spots are to be filled temporarily by gubernatorial, appointments, but then must be filled in the next election with terms expiring in two years when seats 3 and 5 would normally be up for election, along with Seats 1 and 7 in 2010. The MSD seats are typically four-year terms. This fall, seat 2, held by Rob Becker, will be up for election, but Becker may not run again due to term limits. .Seats 4 and 6 are also up for ' ietion, and " incumbents IBob Reesh ' atid" ry Jurenovich, respectively, are eligible to run again, but have not indicated if they will. Dr. of High C's performs Italian tenor Roger Geronimo, known as "Doctor of the High C's," will perform in a May 24 concert in St. Augustine to benefit the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Foundation. The fifth annual fund-rais- ing concert also will feature Karen Adair, Ralph Grieco, Cassie Conrad, The Coquina Crossing Chorus and' Sam Clein. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. in the ballroom of Coquina Crossing, a residen- tial area off State Road 207. A reception follows the con- cert. For tickets, call 797-2248, e-mail tenore2@hotmail.com or purchase tickets at the door. Writers to get tips The world of publishing remains a major mystery for new writers, particularly when it comes to getting a non-fiction book published. Michael Hamilton, a former editor with one of world's the largest publishers, advises authors on how to get their books published at this month's meeting of the Florida Writers Association Ponte Vedra Writers Group. The group will meet at the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 24. Hamilton was a senior edi- tor with John Wiley & Sons, one of the leading business publishers in the world. He has edited exclusively in the non-fiction area. Hamilton will present an overview of all the steps involved in preparing a book proposal and submitting it to a publisher for consideration. Topics to be covered include types of book proposals, preparation, submission, contract negotiation, advances, and contacting agents. The meeting is open to the public. For more informa- tion, call Vic DiGenti at 285- 2258 or visit www.fwapon- tevedra.blogspot.com. Vaccine safety talk set WQXT-TV and the law firm of Terrell Hogan Ellis Yegelwel will present a dis- cussion about vaccine safety at 7:15 p.m. Friday, May 30 in St. Augustine Beach. The free program will fea- ture Bruce Anderson, an attorney and the parent of a vaccine-injured child. The topic is "A Parent's View of Vaccinations: A Shot in the Dark or an Informed Choice?" Anderson's objective is to provide parents, expectant parents and prospective par- ents information about the risks and benefits of vaccines. Audience members will be invited to ask questions. Refreshments will be served. The event will take place at the Cultural Arts Center at St. Augustine Beach, 370 A1A Beach Blvd., south of the pier parking lot.

Practice fire safety The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department is encour- aging residents to take pro- tective measures to help pre- vent wildfires near their homes. These measures include: * Exercising extreme cau- tion when using and dispos- ing of items that may spark a fire such as cigarettes and fireworks. * Storing flammable mate- rials, liquids and solvents in approved safety containers outside your residence and at least 30 feet from structures and wooden fences. * Keeping lawns trimmed, leaves raked and clearing dead limbs and debris from roof and rain gutters, then properly containing and dis- posing of debris and clip- pings. * Stacking firewood at least 30 feet from your residence. Residents are' also remind- ed that -Duval County pro- hibits any open burning of yard waste on premises. This includes grass clippings, brush, leaves, tree limbs, etc. If a wildfire begins in your area, call 911.

Safe sitting is taught Due to the increased level of interest in safe babysitting educational classes, Baptist Medical Center Beaches is increasing the number of Safe Sitter classes offered through- out the year. The program is nationally recognized for teaching ado- lescent babysitters to help children stay safe. Instruction includes information on how to handle a crisis, keep charges secure, and nurture young children. "It is an incredible resource for anyone who has just begun, or wants to begin, babysitting," said Jillian Witemyre, Safe Sitter pro- gram coordinator at Baptist Beaches. "Not only is it bene- ficial and helps protect the safety of children, but the course also teaches safety skills for the babysitter." The day-long course caters to 11- to 13-year-olds who emerge as more confident, responsible and compassion- ate teens and adults. The enrollment cost for the one- day course is $40 and includes take-home educa- tional materials and a snack. The next class is scheduled for Saturday, June 7. If you or someone you know is inter- ested in enrolling in a Safe Sitter course, call Baptist Health's CARE Line at 904.202.CARE (2273). Using tombstones for genealogy Jon Ferguson, Past- President of the Southern Genealogist Exchange Society, will be at the Beaches Museum & History Center on May 22 to discuss genealogy and especially the use of tombstone and cemetery information. "Tombstones and Beyond: Sources for Death Dates" will be a discussion about the dif- ficulties of finding tomb- stones, the misinformation, and correct information they may provide. Ferguson came from a large family. His mother was one of 16 children, while his father was one of 12. As a child he wrote it all down - thus beginning his own genealogical research. He was not able to delve into his family tree again until after he retired from the U.S. Small Business Administration in 1988. At that time he pur- chased a computer and became obsessed in his fami- ly history. His collections of lineage records include 77,000 names. Currently, he works on a committee that is transcrib- ing the burial records at Evergreen Cemetery. He says he has always loved cemeter- ies, having grown up only two blocks from one. But now he realizes how much information is really avail- able from tombstones, burial records, and obituaries. That has become his favorite source of genealogical data. Stiff drinks will be served at 6:30 p.m. with the discussion commencing at 7 p.m. "Let Me Help You Grow Your Business" The Leader Advertising Team has all the qualities you want working for you in today's business environment. * Experience * Industry Knowledge * Creativity * Enthusiasm * Optimism * Local Knowledge Aftjl Let Angela Smith go to work for you.

May 16, 2008 The Beaches Leader/Pontc Vedra Leader DPro 3 'A The Beaches Leader/Pbnte Vedra Leader Keepers of the code say OK to 6 signs on A1A - VERANDA, from A-1 front A1A, the plan called for three, 24-foot-square wall signs facing A1A on two of the buildings and two signs facing A1A on the third build- ing. "We are keepers of the code here," said ARC chair Mike Koppenhafer, who, like other members, suggested the appli- cant form a new sign plan, one that would include wall, monument and directional signs. But Lopez said her client has spent much time and money creating the plan, and she would not advise him to reopen the issue of the five existing monument signs. "There's just a lot of signs," Koppenhafer said, noting that the plan called for a total of 45 signs for the six buildings. Noting that the ARC previ- ously had not objected to an anchor tenant having a sign larger than 24 square feet, Koppenhafer suggested one wall sign along A1A for each of the three buildings fronting A1A. Other tenants could put their business names on the monument signs, he said. "My recommendation is, somebody make a motion one way or another," urged Jack photo by KATHY HARTMAN Participants in Wednesday's Architectural Review Committee (ARC) meeting hastily rearrange seating as the 8 p.m. closing time passes at the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library. From left are David Harrell, a St. Johns County planner; Alison McCallum, ARC member; Patrick McCormack, St. Johns County attorney; Donis Home, Veranda developer (back to camera) and Marcy Silkebaken, ARC member. Pope, Ponte Vedra advisor. With the library's new clos- ing time of 8 p.m. approach- ing, ARC members made sug- gestions for the number and placement of signs along each face of the six buildings, cut- ting the signs along A1A to two for each of the three front buildings. Home said he would go along with the ARC's sugges- tions; The St. Johns County Commission is expected to consider the sign plan at its May 27 meeting in St. Augustine. Students 'will find it fun,' director says - BIOTECH, from A-1 Ph.D. in toxicology at the University of Michigan, "think- ing I would love college teach- ing," Kehoe said in a telephone interview this week. She did post-doctoral work at Eastern Michigan University, moved to Florida and was an assistant professor at Jacksonville University for five and a half years, she said. After being tenured, she said, she left JU and for about four years did full-time research at the Mayo Clinic, looking at neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, she said. She continues to do part- time work in the Mayo labora- tory, although in an adminis- trative capacity, she said. She taught at Nease from 2004 to 2006, when both daughters were attending the school- -:. therrn-;switchedto to: Bartram Trail, where her younger daughter, Molly Manning, was star pitcher on .the Bartram softball team. The Bears won over Venice in the Class 5A state softball final May 8. Kehoe said when she heard about the Ponte Vedra High biotech academy, she jumped at the chance to be its director. "This is really my field, and I'm really excited," she said. Although the academy will prepare students for jobs - a certificate of completion could lead to a laboratory job, Kehoe said - "we're looking to make it more a a pre-med, pre-med- ical research" program, she said. Biotechiology is "a wonder- ful way to improve" things in the environment, she said. SFor example, in a workshop determining whether certain foods were genetically altered, she said, she found that the corn used in Doritos had been 'altered to resist the weed-killer Roundup. ' That's good for those grow- ing corn, she said, but if the altered gene "gets into the wild, then Roundup won't work," she said. "It will be kind of interesting to introduce high school stu- dents to this," she said. "I think they will find it fun." The academy will include a lot of hands-on learning, she said. Although teachers will follow an approved curricu- lum, "I supplement a lot," she said. "I don't teach book. I teach topics." Speziale said Kehoe "has a familiarity with the Mayo," which may eventually partner with Ponte Vedra High for biotechnology internships. And, he, said, "She makes it exciting." To be admitted to the biotechnology academy, stu- dents had to fill out an appli- cation. "We wanted them to have had algebra I, and obviously we wanted kids who had good attendance and good grades," Speziale said. "And We did check their essays" to determine real inter- est in the subject matter, he said. Ponte Vedra High, being built south of Nocatee Parkway about one mile west of the Intracoastal Waterway, opens to students Aug. 22. Ponte Vedra High also offers the Academy of International ,Business and Marketing,.: AB woman crowned America's Top Model by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF WRITER Whitney Thompson, daugh- ter of Atlantic Beach Police Chief David Thompson, was crowned America's Next Top Model this week. "It feels amazing. This is all I've ever wanted since I was a little girl," said Thompson, who started modeling at 15 and has been on the cover of Jacksonville magazine three times. Tyra Banks, a supermodel and host of the national televi- sion show, said Thompson was the "first girl with some booty" to capture the win and the coveted $100,000 contract with Cover Girl Cosmetics. Thompson said her first place finish was not only a per- sonal triumph but a victory for all full-figured women who feel they are stifled by their size. "There were definitely times I looked in the mirror or at other girls and thought I am not like them," she said. "But I am here because I feel good about myself. I want girls to look up to me and know that if I can do it, why can't they?" Thompson's parents watch Wednesday's final episode with the children at the Donner Park Community Center in Atlantic Beach, where their daughter often volunteered. "We debated on what to do for the last show and then thought to come here and watch it with the kids," said Jeanine Thompson, adding that it has been "kind of surre- al" to watch her daughter on the show. The walls of the Donner Park Community Center were decked with glittering posters in support of Whitney as chil- dren and family gathered to watch her final strut down the runway. "We have a special love for her," said Gail Baker, the cen- ter's activities director and Whitney's self-described "sec- ond mom. "Whitney always came and participated in things in the neighborhood." Jeanine Thompson is confi- dent that her daughter is well- grounded and will remain "true to who she is." Instead of asking friends to Whitney Thompson bring a gift to her 16th birth- day party, the former president of her Fletcher High School chess club requested guests donate school supplies to the center, Baker said. "I'm extremely proud. I think she's a great role model for girls today," Jeanine said. On Site Supervis ion From Concept to Completion- On l ime & On1 Budget We Guarantee it!" 'La JU�L -.DESIGN.-BVILID Since 1076. vw8 8. kendale.net 884-8611 "She knows who she is [and] she's kind and loving." Also proud of Thompson's accomplishments is Tiger of Tiger Studios in Atlantic Beach who handled all of the model's local bookings. "What can I say? I'm really proud of her," she said Thursday. "We had a party here .[Wednesday night] and we are all supporting her." Having started herself on the opposite side of the camera lens, Tiger is familiar with the perks and pitfalls of the indus- try. Her goal when shepherd- ing young clients like Thompson into the industry is to prepare them for the biting truth behind the glitz and glamour. "My goal is to get their feet wet here and expose them to what it is like to work then get them out of here," she said. Thompson first came to Tiger three years ago as a fresh- faced high school student with a few high profile jobs already under her belt. She was up to the challenge, Tiger said, but unhappy with the physical requirements that were often asked of her during a casting call. "There is no denying that she is beautiful. She represents well on film and she was get- ting booked but clients were always calling back to com- plain about her weight," she said. "They were always like 'if we can just get those hips smaller'. They brought her in every week to measure and weigh her. When she came to me she was very unhappy." Thompson is a size 8, while most top models are reported- ly size 0-2. Until this season of Top Model, the panel of judges on the show often chastised healthy girls for being too large to compete in an indus- try that celebrates a loose-fit- ting sample size 2. "Whitney is not skin and bones. She is a woman with real curves," Tiger said. "There is a lot of craziness in the industry. As long as she is managed and handled well she will be fine," she said. "It's all about how you are raised." Lawns are well loved P RULES, from A-1 causes tire tracks and divots [when it is mowed,]" he said. "People are very attached to their lawns, like they are their pets. They're not just going to let them go."

The difference is critical. * n Eyesight is merely the basic ability to see. Vision is the ability to identify, interpret. comprehend, and act on what is seen. Routine vision tests performed by school personnel or by most eye care professionals measure eyesight. They do not include S the kinds of testing that can find visually - related learning problems. Our VIP (Vision Improvement Program) can diagnose and successfully treat vision problems that are often reflected in the following behaviors: * Unable to sit still: cannot stay on task for any length of time. * Very clumsy; poor eye-hand coordination. * Does written work very slowly: often fails to complete a task. Sflas difficulty copying visual material; constantly kp)ks up and down. * Moves entire head instead of eyes when reading. * Reversals-for example confusing the words "was and saw" or letters "b and d". * Is.disorganized and frustrated when studying visual information. * Makes frequent, "careless" errors. If your son or daughter, age 7-18, has one or more of these behaviors, call 246-1952 today to schedule an evaluation for vision-related learning problems.

Workshops are planned and those concerned about the potential impact of the water- ing restrictions will have the chance to be heard. Such limitations are needed, we're told, because of lim- ited water resources. Perhaps. It is harder to make that case, however, when one con- siders that the same water management authorities are willing to countenance diverting thousands of gallons a day of river water to already dry Central Florida. If water, is to be rationed here, because of supply con- cers, simple logic should make it clear we have no busi- ness diverting or giving away such a valuable - and apparently limited - resource. Don't take local water away with one government fiat while issuing another fiat that may cost us our green sur- roundings. If water is limited here, we have no business giving it away. Top model- and family due kudos Atlantic Beach's own Whitney Thompson was named America's Next Top Model this week, emerging victorious from weeks of competition in New York and Rome. In a nationally-televised show, she was accorded a $100,000 contract with a leading agency, the cover of Seventeen magazine and several other prizes likely to cement her career in the pantheon of top models. Dubbed a plus-size model in a world of uber-thin mod- els, Whitney, a Fletcher grad, made it clear she is proud of her curves as a size 8 and said afterward she hopes other girls learn to like themselves as they are. She deserves kudos for her candor. Kudos are also due her parents, her father is Atlantic Beach Police Chief David Thompson and her mother is Jeanine Thompson. They elected to watch the results show at the Donner Center, on the west side of Atlantic Beach, -surrounded by young girls from the neighborhood. Their willingness to share a celebratory moment in their -family withthe neighborhood in such a quiet manner is 4 generous gesture that speaks volufies about the family's character and commitment to the community. Congratulations to Whitney and her family. Letters to the editor: State must secure education fur To the editor: In April 2008, the U.S. Census Bureau released a report on public education K- 12 funding by states for the 2005-06 school year. This was an excellent year for funding increases in Florida with an 8% overall increase. Not sur- prisingly, Florida came in 37th place in per pupil funding among the 50 states. -7However, what was new -iformrationrwas- the analysis of overall. funding for educa- tion counting federal, state, and local sources of revenue adjusted according to income. Florida was in last place among the 50 states, with only The District of Columbia providing lower funding. This is significant in that this sta- tistic gives a more equitable basis of comparing funding on an "ability to pay." Also dis- turbing was how Florida com- pared in funding K-12 educa- tion with other southern states that are typically "low tax" states: Per $1,000 of Income West.Virginia 54.56 Arkansas 50.10 Louisiana 48.77 Georgia 48.21 Mississippi 48.18 South Carolina 47.07 Texas 44.26 Alabama 42.75 Virginia 39.23 North Carolina 38.42 Tennessee 35.55 Florida 33.51 As the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy incre need to better prepare our students for their A key element in our su attracting and retainir quality teachers and pals.

With all these private meet- ings, is the council up to the task? In Jacksonville Beach, our Charter and the Florida Sunshine Law guarantee public participation in government. The intent of the Sunshine Law is to promote open govern- ment, where, according to the Sunshine Manual, "the entire decision-making process is to be conducted in full public view." The recent Jax Beach City Council workshop was wonder- ful. It was refreshing to hear the council 'speak openly and Extensively on so many current Sand upcoming issues. I wish they would hold a workshop before each Council meeting. The only thing missing was public comment and participa- tion. Council workshops are special meetings of the council that, according to Jax Beach policy, "are held at the Mayor's request, ... to filly discuss and.. Become informed on an issue." Unfortunately the same policy goes on to state: "Although all workshops are open to the pub- lic, the public does not normal- ly participate in the workshop sessions.' In contrast, the- Florida Attorney General said in an informal advisory legal opin- ion: "I am of the opinion that a workshop meeting of the city commission of the City of St. Augustine Beach at which offi- cial business is discussed is sub- ject to the Sunshine Law and should provide the opportunity for. public input." (Inf. Op. to David G. Conn, May 7, 1987) Our Charter, essentially our Constitution, also requires pub- lic participation at workshops. Section 6 of our Charter states: "The rules of the council shall provide that the public shall have a reasonable_ opportunity' to be heard at any such meet- irigs of the council or its com- mittees in regard to any matter considered threatt" 'Our lack of open government in Jax Beach is evident in other areas. Our Charter requires "All meetings of the council and of committees thereof shall be open to 'the public and con- ducted in accordance with state law and the rules of the coun- cil." The City has had many "shade" meetings closed to the public. These meetings were DAVID SMITH COLUMNIST conducted in conjunction with the lawsuits regarding the 35-ft height amendment and, most recently, regarding police salaries fpr the next two years. Arguably, state'law allows these specific types of meetings to be closed to the public. However it seems clear to me that our Charter preempts state law in these cases, clearly stating "all meetings are to be open to the public and conducted in accor- dance with state law" not that all meetings are to'be open'to the public or conducted in accordance with state law. The regular private meetings between Mr. Forbes, our City Manager, and each of the indi- vidual council also appear to violate the Sunshine Law and our Charter. The public is not allowed, no meeting notices are published, and no minutes are kept. The Sunshine law would allow these meetings if our Charter did not provide that Mr. Forbes has a seat on the Council. Section 32 of our Charter specifies that "The cify manager and such other-officers of the city as may be designated by vote of the council, shall be entitled to seats in the council, but shall have no vote therein." In an Attorney General Opinion (AGO 2005-18) writ- ten by Charlie Crist, he asserts the Sunshine Law applies to voting and nonvoting members of a public body stating "it is my opinion that meetings between a voting member ... [and] a member of the council [who serves] in an ex officio, non-voting capacity, are subject to the provisions of section 286.011, Florida Statutes, the Government in the Sunshine Law. Thus, the requirements of the Sunshine Law, i.e., notice, public accessibility and written minutes, apply to any meeting where two or more members of the council discuss matters on which the board may foresee- ably take action." According to AGO 74-47, a city manager that is not a mem- ber of the city* council may meet individually with mem- bers. It states: "The city manag- er of Vero Beach is not a mem- *ber of the city council but rather responsible to it for the proper administration of city affairs. A meeting, therefore, between the city manager and one councilman would not vio- late the Sunshine Law." However, even then, he must "not act as a liaison for board members by circulating infor- mation and thoughts of indi- vidual councilmen to therest of the board." SEven if allowed by the Sunshine Law, our Charter would prohibit these 'private meetings. As previously stated, our Charter requires all meet- ings of the council to be open to tie public." Since the city manager" has a seat on the council, any meeting with another council member must be open to the public by our Charter. Public participation in gov- ernment is essential, you know: government of the people, by the' people, for the people. I think the Florida Supreme Court expressed it best in their opinion in Palm Beach v. Gradison, stating: "every meet- ing of any board, commission, agency or authority of a munic- ipality should be a marketplace of ideas, so that the govern- mental agency may have suffi- cient input from the citizens who are going to be affected by the subsequent action of the municipality." Open government is not easy. Governing is a dirty business, or should be. There should be debate and discussion, petitions and protests, hard questions with no easy answers. That process results in better govern- ment. Oh egos get bruised and friendships are tested but as they say, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, or in this case, out of the Sunshine! Smith lives in downtown Jacksonville Beach with his family. To the editor: .Well, as we can' all see, the Mayport Road, maybe it should be Meserve Road, now the speed limit is being chal- lenged, and I .really believe that during the construction- phase it should be lowered; but then we go back to why this is an issue? Why fix what *isn't broke, Maypoxt road wasn't broke? Being retired Military, did someone forget the wonderful drive into- work and the wonderfulness of leaving the bases in the afternoon, with: one or two Aircraft Carriers in port? Granted, there is no Carriers, in Mayport, but,. there is a whole lot more drivers, these days and more people live in this area. Widening should be the .issue, it is, ALL over Florida, but not here? Now that we have smaller lanes, IE. the inside lane and barriers for the new medium that are high enough to catch. ,bumpers and cause serious damage if someone pulls out or serves into your lane, your wheels will finally hit some- thing after your vehicle is totaled. I'm sure those raised curbing meets DOT stan- dards, but now there is no place to go to if an emergency vehicle comes down the road during rush hour, where do you turn to get out of it's way? (Could be a good law- suit?) With all that high curbing, accidents will probably con- tinue, but most of the acci- dents are JSO's jurisdiction, as a matter of fact the majority of Mayport Road is JSO's jurisdiction, I wonder if Atlantic Beach, is going to chip in? How about the school buses, when you drop off kids, to traffic used to stop because of Florida law, now because of the medium strips, they don't have to? I'm one of those people who travel Mayport Road everyday, I see turn offs leading no where, I see no turnoffs where there should be and seemingly, OOPs and something that was laid down, poof, it was removed? I guess phase two of this 'project will install sprinklers, so the road can get a good soaking for another nice road hazard. I just don't really feel, everyone was onboard for this project. In the end, it'll probably look good, but still have all the inconveniences, that are currently ongoing. What a shame to spend money, that could have been put to a better use. Darryl Smith Atlantic Beach More letters to the editor: Take a tour of Mayport To the editor: I would like to [offer] what I believe is a positive response to the many newspaper articles, critical opinions and the public that does not know the truth about Mayport Fishing Village. I write this letter as one of nine generations of my family who have lived in Mayport and a Village resident for 70 years. I do not represent any organiza- tion that I am affiliated with in writing this letter. If you are interested in know- ing about Mayport Fishing Village. and what it really going on here,contact me at 904-372- 9717. I will personally give you a free tour of the Village and tell you about our history, culture and daily living. I will show you a slide show of old Mayport and introduce you to some of the town folk. I will show you the revitalization plans we have been working on for Mayport Village. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. You may decide for yourself. We are hard working, patriot- ic Americans. Our voting precinct is in the Mayport Community Center. We have three historic very active churches in the Village. Eight new homes have been built in the last two years. We have many well kept homes, between 50 and 100 years old. The Marine Science Education Center is the only one of its kind in Florida. The St. John's Mayport Lighthouse and his- toric Mayport Spanish Cemetery are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Capt. Joseph King home and others are on the local reg- ister of historical places. " Ninety-five percent of the people of Mayport Village do not want to sell their homes, businesses or properties. They all oppose the Cruiseship Terminal. We are less than 60 acres of land and much too small for such an industry. We do understand the economic impact of the contract, JAX- PORT had with Japan and what it will mean to Jacksonville and the State of Florida. There must be a more suitable place found for a cruiseship terminal! Mayport Village is a part of the Timucuan National Preservation * area. Representative Charles Bennett composed the map and Mayport Village is in it. Rightfully so, considering French Capt. Jean Ribault placed the first monument here in Mayport Village. We are recognized as a bird sanctuary, there are otters that use the creeks and salt marshes around Mayport Village. Manatees are seen frequently, passing slowly and gracefully along the docks in the river. The'pollution from the Cruise terminal and ships will effect all the wildlife, estuaries and natu- ral resources along the St.John's River, in and around our Village. We have only one road (A1A) in and out of the Village. We have close to 500 people employed along the working waterfront and businesses in the Village. If you come to visit, I will explain how the Legislature des- ignated. Mayport a Working Waterfront Community and much more. The unique Mayport Fishing Village, with its history and culture, is one of a few left and should be preserved for future generations. Mayport has one of the largest shrimping fleets in the state. There are between 30-40 trawlers operat- ing daily out of Mayport. The shrimping ,fishing and marine industry is a $14 billion a year industry. I have heard that Mayport is the oldest continu- ously working fishing village in the U.S. And I know it has the finest seamen and the best peo- ple anywhere! This Village was dedicated to Almighty God by the Spanish and the French in the 1500s.We have always been aware of this great blessing over us. This was passed down to me by genera- tions long gone now. I hope to see you in Mayport.

Two of the teens also face a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief to a vehicle. The investigation began early Sunday when deputies respond- ed to a report of vandalism to the Mary Wood Retreat Center in the Switzerland area. A door to a shortage shed had been forced open and assorted cans of spray paint removed. Graffiti was spray-painted on several vehicles, several build- ings and on the roadway through the retreat center, and the Columbarium and Memorial Wall, where cremated human remains are located, was defaced. Graffiti was spray-painted on the walls of the San Juan Del Rio Catholic Church on the same property and on the columns and walls of a nearby church, the Geneva Presbyterian Church.

Adventure Landing is expanding Adventure Landing has pur- chased the St. Augustine Family Fun Factory on State Road 16. The name of the fam- ily entertainment center has already been changed to Adventure Landing, and it is now open daily. The newest Adventure Landing features some of the same standard attractions found at other Adventure Landing parks: a well-land- scaped 18-hole miniature golf course, a 1/4 -mile go-kart track, a kiddy go-kart track, batting cages and a large game room. Birthday parties and group outings will be brought up to the same high-quality standards that the other Adventure Landings offer their guests. Plans for a waterpark are being considered for this prop- erty, which is located directly off 1-95. "A lot of tourists stop at the exit we are on because of the Outlet Malls right off the inter- state, and it's one of the ways to St. Augustine Beach," says Hank Woodburn, President and Founder of Adventure Landing. "This location could certainly support a waterpark."

Passing along the pain of high gas prices With gasoline prices creeping up to $4 per gallon, service com- panies are more than feeling the pain; they're passing price increases on to customers. If done on the sly, though, most customers will be unhappy, according to Angie's List, a nationwide ratings firm and reviewer of service companies. "Service providers across the country are struggling with how to respond to the skyrocketing fuel costs," said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List. "Our advice is to be upfront about passing along the costs; most customers will understand if they're alerted to it because they're paying more, too." Angie's List, (www.angieslist.com), surveyed more than 1,700 service compa- nies across the country to gauge how the price at the pump is affecting both ends of the serv- ice equation. Even with the ever-increasing gas costs, the average Angie's List member plans to spend $11,250 on home improvement and main- tenance projects this year, up 13 percent over the average they reported spending in 2007. The Angie's List poll showed: * 85 percent of service providers say the gas prices have affected their bottom lines. * 60 percent are passing costs on through fuel surcharges or. basic service rates. * 43 percent of the companies say their customers understand why rates are going up. * Only 9 percent of cus- tomers responded angrily to the higher bills. Other advice: Know what you're paying for: Insist on itemized charges related to fuel costs so you know exactly what you are paying for. Urbana to feature offices by LIZA MITCHELL STAFF WRITER A shelved project that once touted a mix of office and loft space in the Central Business District is back on but without the residential component. The Urbana, a three-story development at 311 3rd Street North in Jacksonville Beach, is moving forward after original investors stepped down. Investors with Dickinson- Klotz recently announced that the property was for sale below the current land appraised value and included the existing development package. Originally, the Urbana was proposed with 26 profession- al office units, ground floor retail space, garage parking and residential loft space. Jorge Suazo, one of the original developers involved in the project, said last March that he sold his share in the project because he 6dipsed' the 'residential '61& ment. "To reach the highest and best use of the land you have to meet the market demo- graphic," Suazo said. "When 40 percent of the market seg- ments are on the way down, the project was doomed to begin with." A representative with L&N Realty, who is handling the leasing of the retail and office space at the newly res- urrected Urbana develop- ment, said the project will move ahead without the resi- dential use. The property remains under the ownership of the Urbana, LLC. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in September with a projected completion date of fall, 2009. Office space will replace the residential use on the third floor with a rental rate of $20-30 per square foot and a purchase price of $390 per square foot. Ground floor retail space is available for lease at $28-$32 per square foot and a sale pfic '6 '$'400' pDq ua e f1dt" Gary the secg illo sti'f occupy the second floor. photo submitted Locally owned by the Scott family, SurfSide Pools struck gold again at the Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) 2008 Design Awards competition.

Plans to convert the Golfair Mobile Home and RV Park at 1300 Beach Boulevard into a multiunit apartment complex, called The Broadstbne, are about four months ahead of schedule with crews working to clear abandoned trailer shells from the property. Project Manager Bill Bollwerk with Alliance Residential in Atlanta Tuesday said that con- struction is slated to begin this summer with the first units completed by spring, 2009. Bollwerk said the project team is "getting caught up" on drainage work associated with the development while archi- tects complete renderings of the project in the Florida-cracker style with tin roofs and earth- toned exteriors. The project will feature nine apartment buildings and a 1,236-square-foot . clubhouse and a swimming pool. "They all left early so we saved a bunch of. time. I guess they knew what was coming when they saw all of the other parks being sold at the Beaches," he said of the mobile home park residents. "We didn't think the park would empty so fast." Nearly 100 remaining park residents were notified last fall that they must relocate by Sept. 20, 2008 to make way for the new residential development. Bollwerk said Alliance helped some residents, including an elderly gentleman, find other housing, Bollwerk said. Compensation was also avail- able from the state's Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund which provides financial assis- tance to displaced tenants who move within a 50-mile radius. "It is a pretty good law in Florida," Bollwerk said. Developers obtained a demo- lition permit April 23 to remove the leasing office and prep the 11.4-acre parcel for the under- ground utility work needed to support the new project. Staff in the city's Planing and Development Department Tuesday said the developers have not yet applied for a build- ing permit to begin construc- tion. City planners approved the site plan in August, 2007 to allow the conversion of 121 trailer homes into a total of 228 multifamily units. Senior Planner Bill Mann said a relocation study was required as part of the development plan application to determine if com- parable housing will be available for the displaced tenants. The survey completed by Whitcomb Realty showed there is adequate space in the Jacksonville area trailer park community to absorb residents ousted by the closure of the Golfair Park. The real estate survey of 20 mobile home communities showed a total of 6,223 spaces with 5,424 or 87.16 percent occupied. Of the communities studied, 799 lots .remained vacant. Bollwerk said he hopes that the Broadstone will comple- ment the surrounding area and provide affordable housing opportunities-for the communi- ty. "This is an interesting part of Jacksonville Beach.

For those who haven't heard, Hornsby reportedly billed nearly $3,000 on a gas card that belonged to Ashley, Slonina, the UF student who died in an October, 2007 motorcycle accident in which UF football player, Michael Guilford; also was killed. What's even more gut wrenching is that Hornsby placed the first of the 70 spu- rious charges the very day after Slonina died, when he supposedly helped clean out her apartment. While many Florida players have made some very poor decisions under Meyer's watch the last three-plus years, Hornsby's actions prove that he was not even close to being in what the coach likes to call "the one percent of one percent" of superior ath-. letes who are also top-notch people. , I'm sure some desperate feam out there will-give Hornsby another crack at football. Wherever the kid lands, hopefully someone will take time off the field to hone his skills in human compas- sion and decency... Jackson State head football coach Rick Comegy on the possibility of getting former LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux, who was booted from the Bengal Tigers a few weeks ago: "We want to be in the ballpark like everyone else who's recruiting him and see what the situa- tion is and try to see if he fits our program and those type of things." OK, Coach. And what will you do if he comes and does- n't fit your program? Send him packing? Truth is that, given the opportunity, Jackson State will build its team around Perrilloux, no questions asked. It's a shame how even the lousiest of people seemingly have an infinite number of opportunities just because they can run, jump and/or throw a ball. We really can't expect a change, however, until we stop pouring zillions of dollars into sports. I'm not one to talk either, as I have already dedicated a large por- tion of my tax rebate check to next college football season. Feeding the monster, I guess . Here we are with around 100 days until the beginning of college football season and about 240 until the Ohio State Buckeyes lose another national championship game. You see, there is always some- thing to write about college football . . Taking my tongue out of my cheek, most college foot- ball pundits believe that this is the year Ohio State shuts up people like me. And look- ing at the Buckeyes' roster, it's easy to understand why the majority has them playing for all the marbles in Miami next January. James Laurinaitis, Beanie Wells, Malcolm Jenkins and 15 other returning starters make it hard to pick against Ohio State. If the Buckeyes travel out to USC Sept. 13 and play a respectable game . against the Trojans, maybe I'll jump on the Ohio State national championship band- wagon. But it's gonna take more than an undefeated run through the Big 2, er, I mean, Big 10 Conference.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. Last year, Will Pearce made it a clean sweep with victories in all three sprint triathlons to earn the Lifestyle Realtors BFAST men's championship. After completing the third race in 50 minutes and 23 sec- onds - nearly two and a half minutes ahead of his nearest competitor - the 19-year-old said it wasn't as easy as it appeared. "Looks can be deceiving," he said. "I have to thank God for even letting me be out here because earlier this week I was so sick I couldn't even sit up off my bathroom floor. "I wasn't even able to walk until Wednsday... I was so dehydrated I was having trou- ble breathing. And just two or three days later I'm out here doing a race and I did pretty well." Atlantic Beach's Charles Carlin, 22, was actually the first man out of the water fol- lowing the ocean swim, but SPearce passed him in the first transition and never looked back. "I wasn't surprised by being second out of the water because there are usually a few pure swimmers out here," said Pearce. "I decided that as long as he didn't get too far ahead of me I'd probably be aljigh� because I've-got-a pretty strong bike." Pearce said knowing a com- petitor must participate in all three BFAST races to qualify for the overall title inspired him to push past his illness. "I just kind of slipped into the zone and tried not to think about [how sick I was]," he said. "The bike hurt a little bit, but by the time I got to the run I was able to cruise. in." On the women's side, Daytona Beach's Mallory Dunn won last July's BFAST race, her first-ever victory in the series after finishing sec- ond in both the May and June competitions. The win put Dunn over the top in points as she claimed the overall series championship. "I was pretty close in the last two, but this time I worked on going out harder on the bike, then just holding on in the run," Dunn said fol- lowing the race. That strategy paid off as Dunn was first out of the water in 6 minutes and 18 sec- onds, still in first after clock- ing 27:30 in the 10.5-mile bike A , Photo by ROB DeANGELO Mallory Dunn nears the finish of the 10.5-mile bicycle race during the May 2007 Beaches Fine Arts Series sprint triathlon. With a pair of second-place finishes and a victory in the season's third event, Dunn claimed the overall women's championship. race, and a little more than two minutes ahead of her clos- est rival after completing the 3.1-mile run in 19:13. Dunn's overall time of 55:54 was two minutes 17 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Jennifer Hanley-Pinto. Kathleen Baldwin was to the top woman in the series open- er last May 19, while Hanley- Pinto won the June 9, 2007 race. In both of those events Dunn finished a close second, particularly the June race in which she' was just eight sec- onds behind Hanley-Pinto. "I wasn't disappointed about finishing second in the Photo by ROB DeANGELO Will Pearce grabs a cup of water as he passes through the first transition area following the quar- ter-mile ocean swim in last July's final BFAST race. Pearce won the overall championship. other two races," said Dunn. "The people that beat me were really good." Like Pearce, Dunn said she was aware that overall cham- pions must participate in all three of the season's races to have a shot at the title. "I didn't go out expecting to be overall champion, but 'after the first two I kind of knew it was possible," she said. "The run and the swim are probably my strongest events, so that's why I focused on the bike." The triathlon series, enter- ing its 22nd season, is the major fundraiser for the Fine Arts concert events. The Beaches Fine Arts Series pres- ents free concerts, educational programs and art exhibits to the community. Silverberg to coach at Ponte Vedra High FROM STAFF Former Nease High girls soccer coach Dave Silverberg. who guided the Panthers to four state championships in seven seasons, has been hired as the first girls soccer coach at the new Ponte Vedra High School. "It is impossible to see the future, but if the past us a reliable predictor, the Ponte \ edra High School girls soc- cer program is destined for success," said PV High athlet- ic director Gene Baker. In seven seasons at Nease, Silverberg's teams won six district championships, three St. lohns River Athletic Conference titles and won state championships in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008. "We have set a high stan- dard, but the challenge at Ponte Vedra High is to build a program that aspires to the same heights," Silverberg said. "First impressions last a long time. We will compete, initially, with class, pride and honor. Our reputation is who we are." Silverberg will being his tenure with a tournament appearance at Flagler during the last week of October, then open district play against St. Johns County's other new school, Creekside High. on November 4. In other Sharks sports news, former Vanderbilt ten- nis player and LPGA staff member Hilary Hoffman is the school's new girls golf and tennis coach. "I have loved the challenge of building a team," said Hoffman, who formerly coached golf at Fruit Cove. "The kids at Fruit Cove embraced the opportunity and I expect the girls at Ponte Vedra will be just as excited as we begin to get the pro- gram off the ground." . ', ' S:'!i ......

Holloway, 21, didn't start surfing competitively until he was 16 years old because he didn't think he was good enough. Now he is setting himself in position to win the East Coast Championships, compete in the U.S. Surfing Championships and, eventual- ly, turning professional. "There is such a large talent pool of great surfers in this area, I never thought I was good enough," said Holloway, who grew up in Atlantic Beach. "I got a late start but then I realized there's room for me, too." Holloway started surfing when he was 9 years old with his dad, Dan Holloway, a teacher and cross country and track coach at Fletcher High. One of Holloway's best friends, Wayne "P.J." Satterwhite, Jr., finally talked David into surf- ing contests when they were in high school. They were classmates at Mayport Middle School and Fletcher High and always out surfing together. Satterwhite, 22, won the East Coast Championships and the U.S. Surfing Championships in 2007 and recently turned pro. Satterwhite had never surfed in California before competing in the U.S. Championships in Surf Culture Huntington Beach, and ended up winning the most presti- gious amateur contest in North America. "He totally inspired me to go for it with surfing," David Holloway said. "My goal with surfing is to go pro - I could totally see myself doing that and loving it - but I know I wouldn't be able to do it for the rest of my career. I would love to use it as a foot in the door into the surfing indus- try." Holloway graduated with honors from Fletcher High in 2005 and is currently working on his AA degree in business at Florida Community College of Jacksonville [FCCJ]. He is also a licensed massage therapist. He sets up his massage ther- apy booth at contests such as the WaveMasters and opens shop for all the competitors. He said he plans to transfer.to a four-year university after completing his AA degree in the fall, but Holloway also wants to keep his options open for surfing. This summer Holloway is working as a surf guide in Nicaragua in the area known as Playa Gigante or "The Giant's Foot." He is leaving at the end of June to surf in Costa Rica before his position as a guide begins in July. "I was checking things out on the Internet to find some- thing like this and there was a position available," Holloway said. "I'll be taking people out on boats and surfing with them and making sure all of their needs are met from getting supplies to helping cook if it's a big group." Holloway has surfed in Central America before as well as Tahiti, Australia and. California. He said his sister, Amanda, 24, has traveled all over the world and gave him the travel bug. Amanda graduated from Fletcher in 2001 and is a pho- tographer in Philadelphia. Their mom, Trish, is an art teacher at Atlantic Beach Elementary School. Of all the places Holloway has surfed, he said Central America is his favorite destination. "The people are friendlier Photo by MARTY FICALORA David Holloway performs a frontside air reverse at the Jackson- ville Beach Pier earlier this month. and the dollar goes a lot longer," Holloway said. "I also want to improve my surfing to get ready for the fall." The trip to Central America is a way for Holloway to train for surfing in the East Coast Championships in September in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and the U.S. Open Surfing Championships in Huntington Beach, Calif. in October. He is the men's champ for the North Florida District of the Eastern Surfing Association this season and his goal is to win the East Coast Championship. If Holloway places in the top four in Hatteras he will be invited to compete in California. He said he is already saving money to plan for both trips. "I've been knocking on the door of the surfing world for a while now," Holloway said, "and I feel like this is going to be my time."

'AB rocks, Neptune rol FROM STAFF The slogan for Saturday's 22nd annual "Dancin' in the Street" festival at Town Center is "Atlantic Beach rocks, Neptune Beach rolls." The slogan, which appears on this year's commemora- tive festival T-shirts, wasn't set in'stone overnight. "There was a lot of discus- sion over who [rocked and who rolled]," event organizer Patsy Bishop said. The spirited talks helped determine the one-day festi- val's musical lineup.

The event is free and open to the public. Diamond stays in stripped-down mode "Home Before Dark," released last week, finds Neil Diamond in the same acoustic, stripped-down mode which worked so well on 2005's "12 Songs." Returning producer Rick Rubin hasn't deviated much .from "12 Songs'" formula. The arrangements are fairly bare-bones, with some of the crack musicians (guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboard player Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, along with guitarist Smokey Hormel) from "12 Songs" returning. There are two main differ- ences between "12 Songs" and "Home Before Dark." On "Dark," Diamond has taken a somber, moodier turn in his songwriting. This actually works well; his voice, weath- ered with age but still strong and vibrant, is more suited for melancholy and heartache than for upbeat, peppy tunes. The second difference is not so good - "Dark" is a much more uneven album than "12 Songs." At its high points, "Dark" takes the formula that worked so well on "12 Songs" to new heights. Once again, Diamond has concentrated HAL NEWSOME REVIEWER more on song-crafting than album-making, with Rubin bringing out the best in Diamond's voice by keeping it at the forefront of the sparse arrangements. Without the overblown orchestration and overbearing pop hooks that marred many of Diamond's later albums, the songs themselves have to stand out, and they do so strongly. The songs on "Home Before Dark" are some of Diamond's most lyrically- involved ever. The first six songs are, at times, almost sinister in their treatment - when he sings "A voice is sitting on my shoul- der and telling me/The night is warm now but it might be getting colder/Better look out friend/Before you finally decide which way to go" from "Don't Go There," Diamond sounds like he stepped right out of a dark alley to warn you not to follow him (espe- cially when he throws in a menacing chuckle near the end of the song). Diamond proves that even in his darker moments he can still conquer ballad territory, as shown on the remarkable "Another Day (That Time Forgot)," a duet with the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines. Diamond manages to bring a depth of emotion to the song that sounds refreshingly unaf- fected and completely heart- felt, with Maines' crystal voice blending in surprisingly well with his rough, world-weary baritone. "Forgotten" is another album highlight, with an up- tempo arrangement providing a stark contrast to the images of loss and betrayal contained in the lyrics. Unfortunately, "Home See DIAMOND, B-2 PV Art Festival Sat-Sun FROM CONTRIBUTOR The annual Ponte Vedra Spring Art Festival will take place on Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the south end of the Sawgrass Village Shopping Center.

Green Market moves to Jarboe FROM CONTRIBUTOR The Beaches Green Market, a local farmer's market and a non-profit project of Beaches Local Food Network, moves to its new location in Neptune Beach, beginning this week- end.

Diamond: Deluxe DVD Cont. from B-I Before Dark" then begins its missteps with "Act Like a Man," a quasi-country ballad so laid back it brings the album's momentum to a grinding, painful halt. Diamonds regains a bit of ground with "Whose Hands' Are These," a weak song lyri- cally but redeemed somewhat by Tench's keyboard work and Diamond's insistence on giv- ing his vocal all, even 6n a song that doesn't truly merit it. "No Words" and "The Power of Two" are huge steps back- ward, both lyrically and musi- cally, to the days when Diamond's songs were taking a backseat to the albums they * were on. Both seem out of place here. "Slow it Down" starts off interestingly enough with a bit of almost-rapping, before slowing down to the point of making you wonder if Diamond just plain ran out of steam before he got to this song. The title song closes the album like a creaking door SUMMER Atlantic Beach The City of Atlantic Beach Department of Recreation holds registration for summer camp through May 24. Register at the Department of Recreation and Special Events, Adele Grage Community Center, 716 Ocean Blvd. Children ages 5-12 may be reg- istered from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call 904-247-5828. Camp starts June 16 and fin- that stays open too long; it's not a bad effort lyrically, but musically it just d-r-o-n-e-s on. Do yourself a favor - spend an extra couple-three bucks for the "deluxe edition" of "Home Before Dark." You'll be reward- ed with two great bonus tracks; Harry Nilsson's "Without Her" and a superb cover of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love." These two extra songs keep the last half of the album from faltering completely. The deluxe edition also con- tains a DVD with performanc- es of three of the album tracks, as well as an interest- ing, if somewhat hurried, ver- sion of Paul Simon's "The Boxer." CAMPS ishes the week before school begins. Camp runs from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays at the Donner Park and Jordan Park Community Centers. The camp costs $45 a week per child or a $50 one-time fee for children who qualify. Lunch is included for chil- dren attending camp. Each child gets a camp T-shirt.

Crenshaw hosts art competition FROM CONTRIBUTOR U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw hosted his annual Congressional Art Competition Saturday, May 10, at the Nathan H. Wilson Center for the Arts at Florida Community College at Jacksonville. Students from across the 4th Congressional District entered their artworks for an opportu- nity to have it displayed in Washington, D.C., among pieces submitted by the nation's most talented young artists. "We are fortunate that so many gifted young artists live here in North Florida and this annual competition will give them the opportunity to show- case their talents," Crenshaw said. ".I strongly encourage every high school artist to take advantage of this great oppor- tunity." The winner of the annual art competition will have their art- work proudly displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year. In addition, the winning student will receive two round trip air- fares to Washington, D.C., to participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Crenshaw and other members of Congress. Along with the airfares donated by Southwest Airlines, a $500 donation will be pre- sented to each winner to help their art class purchase sup- plies, courtesy of Amelia Island Plantation. Crenshaw's website will be hosting all the artwork in a vir- tual online art gallery. A panel of judges will review the artwork and select five honorable mentions and one grand-prize winner. Every stu- dent who participates will be awarded a Congressional Certificate of Recognition. For more information, visit www.crenshaw.house.gov r-- ----- ------------.

Eight dogs seized in St. Johns County Eight dogs seized in -St. Johns County FROM STAFF St. Johns County Animal Control has seized seven pit bulls and one German shepherd, along with dog-fighting equipment, following an anonymous request for a cruelty investiga- tion in West Augustine, police said. After obtaining a search warrant May 8, ani- mal control officers in cooperation with the St. Johns Sheriff's Office searched the property and removed logging chain, dog-fighting magazines and numerous other items associated with dog fighting. The dogs had multiple scars, both old and new, that appeared to be consistent with dog fighting, according to the Sheriff's Office. The evidence is being reviewed in coordina- tion with the office of the State Attorney. Felony and misdemeanor charges are anticipat- ed. and the County anticipates filing both felony and misdemeanor charges. The owner of the property is Edgar Williams and the suspect is his son Jermone Williams. The eight animals are currently being held and treated at the St. Johns County Pet Center,. off U.S. 1 north of St. Augustine. This is the second dog-fighting case in St. Johns County in recent months. The county continues to place a very high priority on inves- tigating any dog-fighting case. For more information, contact the Pet Center at 209-6190 or animal control manager Paul Studivant at 669-0112. When making wine from mountain-grown grapes, 'throw everything out the door and start over' PET TALES Legendary winemaker Jess Jackson likes to keep an eye n his legion of winery oper- ations spread throughout California. But imagine being the winemaker whose operation is within eyesight of the big boss. That's the job for Graham Weerts, winemaker of Stonestreet Alexander Mountain Estate wines in Sonoma County. It is here Mr. Jackson not only found an idyllic place to live, but also saw a future in sturdy wines made from mountain-grown grapes. It isn't easy. "Throw everything out the door and start again," says Weerts. Most of what he learned in his native Cape Town, South Africa, didn't apply to this difficult grow- ing region when he arrived in 2004. Fog that settles on the valley floor actually allows grapes to ripen at elevations as high as 2,400 feet. While neighboring vineyards sit on plateaus, Stonestreet's vineyards are on steep slopes that defy mechanical harvesting. Rows of grapes are planted vertically and have to be monitored carefully because the grapes-rapidly change ripeness. A wide variety of soil types pose a challenge as well. Making wine is one thing; making good wine under these conditions is another. Stonestreet has managed to produce out- standing chardonnays and awe- some, complex cabemet sauvi- gnons for which the mountain- grown grapes are known. We were actually introduced to the wines from these vineyards when Allan Hemphill was mak- ing incredibly rich chardonnays in the early 1990s under the Gauer Estate Vineyards label - Jackson bought the vineyards in 1995. They were among the best chardonnays we tasted at the time - it's not surprising that these Stonestreet chardonnays are great, too. Eschewing the flabby, oak- soaked chardonnays that domi- nate the market, Stonestreet's chardonnays have bright acidity and a mineral character that is best paired with food. With low yields and labor- intensive harvesting, prices for these wines are as steep as the vineyard's slopes. But at these prices you'll taste the unique qualities that come from labor- intensive noibntainigrown " '' grapes. The 2005 chardonnays are on the shelf now, but the 2006 whites and 2005 reds will begin appearing in a couple of months. Stonestreet Alexander Mountain Estate Chardonnay 2005 ($25). Sixty-five percent of this wine undergoes malolatic fer- mentation in French oak to tame the acidity. The result is a creamy citrus flavor with plenty of apple and mineral notes. A complex wine for the price. Stonestreet Alexander Mountain Estate Upper Barn Chardonnay 2005 ($42). This is one of the best chardonnays we have tasted in a long time. The oldest vineyard in the estate col- lection, Upper Barn straddles a 1,800-foot ridge. Its gravelly soil yields low quantities of grapes, but the fruit produces complex wines with a mineral thread. Orange peel aromas introduce a layered wine with flavors of pineapples, peaches and great spice from the French oak it is aged in. Stonestreet Alexander Valley Mountain Estate Cabemet Sauvignon 2005 ($42). Unlike the 2004, this wine is mostly cabemet sauyignon with only 5 percent blended with cabemet franc. The fruit is bright and redo- lent of blackberry and cherry fla- vors with hints of cedar and mocha. The 2005 won't be on the market for a couple of months. Stonestreet Alexander Mountain Estate Legacy 2004 ($75). This blend of Bordeaux grapes is a charmer. Using grapes planted 2,400 feet up, it has good unique. Amarone is made in an ancient method of drying the grapes on bamboo racks in September and pressing partially dry grapes in February. With nearly 40 percent less juice, the cost of the wine is considerably more. But the flavors are intense and the texture soft. Masi, one of the top producers of amarones, makes four single vineyard versions that emphasize the personality of each vineyard. Here's what we tasted: Masi Campolongo di Torbe Amarone Classico 2001 ($135). Lots of elegance in the blend of corvina (70 percent), rondinella and molinara. Classic raisin aro- mas followed by sweet flavors of cherries, cocoa and spice. Soft tex- ture but deceiving tannins make this a delicious wine for current or long-term drinking. Serego Alighiei Vaio Armaron Amarone Classico 2001 ($75). Varietal cherry aromas with intriguing violets and rosemary notes. Plum and mocha flavors add to the enticing package. Masi Costasera Amarone Classico 2004 ($80). Raisins and prunes dominate the aromas with cherries, mocha and cinna- mon on the palate. Long finish, velvet texture. Masi Mazzano Amarone Classico 2001 ($135). Vanilla and plums stand out in the bou- quet of this unbelievable wine. Full bodied yet soft on the palate, it has layered fruit of plums and cherries. Long finish.

We recently tasted three single-vineyard amarones that are even more Ivlaylu, -Vk) Weekend 6 The Beaches Leader/PontL Vedra Leader May 16, 2008 Granite has become the quintessential countertop Like a McDonald's at every major intersec- tion, granite has become ubiquitous. It's now the quintessential countertop material. But how did we get here? Apparently, there was an unspoken yet telepathi- cally transmitted mandate that said if you own a home you must have granite. If you're selling a home, you must update it with granite. Or, if you are buying a home, you must expect granite on the countertops. If you are building a home, well, you know how it goes. But let's get to the nitty gritty about granite and see what all the fuss is about. Granite pros Granite is one tough countertop material. It's almost indestructible. It can withstand heat and if professionally sealed, it can handle any stain. It's also drop-dead gorgeous. Who can resist that sea of solid earthly beauty? It also comes in a range of colors and styles that can fit into any style of kitchen. Granite cons It's a pain to keep clean. Yes, all that high- polished glass-like reflec- tion is gorgeous, but it comes with a price - the price of time that it takes to keep granite clean. A damp microfiber cloth will make it sparkle and not eat up your budget in paper towels and window cleaner (which should never be used on granite anyway). Another lesser known granite evil? It can absorb odors and begin to KATHRYN WEBER HOME COLUMNIST smell. A mild disinfecting cleaner will handle the odor if yours develops an odor. The biggest drawback to granite is the price. Even though it's become very popular and there are lots of companies that will take your thousands of hard-earned dollars to install it for you, it is also possible to get the granite look and panache with- out the high price. How so? There are a couple of ways around the high granite cost. One of those is to choose a discontin- ued color or buy a pre-cut slab. This saves you money because you aren't getting something cus- tom.. Also, some colors aren't as popular as others and that drives down price. Check with your granite dealer about any sale pieces of discontin- ued styles. Another option? Granite tile. Cost options In 2003 when I built my house, granite was very expensive. We were putting in a large island into our kitchen and wanted to put in granite, but a slab the size of my island was going to cost almost $10,000. So, we opted for twelve by twelve granite tiles. We chose "Baltic brown" that has medium brown splotches on a black back- ground. When we put the tile in and added black grout, the island looked like a solid sheet of gran- ite. If you want to do the same thing, it's important to select a tile that allows you to use grout that has the same background color as the tile. Otherwise, if the grout lines are highly contrast- ed, such as black tiles with white or grey grout, it won't work well. Darker, patterned tile will probably be the safest bet and the best look. Katherine Pope of WP Construction in Inez, Texas, who I consulted with on her gorgeous Parade of Homes entry for the Victoria Builders Association also chose granite tile instead of slab granite for her master bath. Pope opted for very small mosaic-sized granite in the master bathroom, but the look was instantly fresh, unique and gave the same luxurious look at a fraction of the cost. You can have slab granite in your home and it will look great. Granite tile just gives you a less expensive option for granite, and one that's a real budget-saver. If granite has been out of reach, check with your local dealer for prefabri- cated pieces or closeout colors. Or, try granite tiles. They're gorgeous and a great-looking and an affordable granite option. photo by KATHRYN WEBER When granite tiles are grouted with grout colored the same as the background color in the tile, the effect creat- ed looks like a solid sheet of granite. This allows the homeowner to get the slab granite look at a fraction of the cost. * -- -~," '~ T h -i - -' r r ~i.. - Holka Polka The Limelight Theatre KIDZfACTory will perform "Holka Polka" May 16-18.

The church began meeting for worship in January at Majorie K. Rawlings Elementary School. Loy said that his dream for the new church is that it will be a "major church of servanthood in the Ponte Vedra communi- ty. Our mission is to help people know God, grow in faith, and serve." In the past, most communities have had a First Baptist Church, said Loy. Although there are Baptist churches in Ponte Vedra, there has never been a First Baptist Church, he said. Calling the new church First Baptist goes .back to that tradition. This does not mean that the new church is greater or more important than other churches, he said. It does restate a commitment to the Baptist denomination at a time when churches are describing themselves as community churches. The new church is a member of the Jacksonville Baptist Association and the Florida and Southern Baptist Conventions. The focus for the new church is the Ponte Vedra Beach community and reaching all of the age groups living there, said Loy. The church is "close to where folks live" and will be connected and involved with the community. Since there are no other staff members, Loy relies on help from volunteers at the church. "Volunteers are our best assets, he said. Every member is called to ministry. It is important "to involve the laity and empower them." One of the challenges facing the new church is overcoming negative attitudes people may have about organized church- es, said Loy. Also, not having a building can be a neg- ative factor for some people. Loy, however, said he is encouraged by .. . , building the building," said Loy. , '\ L^ - "... *, - . " -* ; / Pastor Bob Loy the reception from the community and the new faces at worship. "We are creating the design while we are building the building," said Loy.
