Evolution issue comes

before School Board


By Greg Walsh
Managing Editor
ORANGE PARK- One by one, more than
two dozen people came to the podium,
urging the Clay County School Board to
turn down a controversial evolution reso-
lution Thursday, Jan. 17, that touched on
an old, but still volatile, issue.


In the end, however, the School Board
listened to its superintendent and passed
a slightly watered-down version that
urges the state Board of Education to
teach evolution "as.a theory" and urges
a "fair and balanced" presentation about
the Earth's origin.

Officials say

tax cut plan

is bad idea

Clay Today staff
GREEN COVE SPRINGS-A collection
of Clay County elected officials spoke
out Wednesday, Jan. 23, against a
proposed property tax amendment.
Speaking at the Clay County
Courthouse, the group led by School
Board Vice Chairman Charlie Van
Zant Jr. and Clay County Commis-
sion Chairman George Bush said
residents faced certain increases in
fees and schools would be hit hard if
voters approve the Save Our Homes
amendment on Tuesday, Jan. 29.
Gov. Charlie Crist and state GOP
legislative leaders support the mea-
sure, which would raise homestead
exemption from $25,000 to $50,000,
except for school taxes, and provides
a way to apply tax savings to a new
home if they sale present house.

BUSINESS COMMUNITY MILITARY OBITUARIES POLICE REAL ESTATE SCHOOLS


A century-and-a-half is a long time


Having said that, don't anyone out
there get smart mouthed with me and sug-
gest that, if anyone should know, it would
be me. In actuality, I'm only half that.
Thinking about Clay County's upcom-
ing sesquicentennial celebration, how-
ever, got me to reminiscing about other
superannuated celebrations that have oc-
curred in my lifetime.
My high school was chartered in
1792, its charter signed by no less a per-
sonage than John Hancock. It was named
for'George Washington who was president
at the time.
Washington Academy's sesquicenten-
nial celebration was deferred until after
World War II but took place before I en-
tered the Academy in 1948. And then, in
1951, as I was beginning my senior year,
the local newspaper came out with. a front
page headline of the sort that makes edi-
tors wish they had stayed at home that
day; "Washington Academy begins 159th
year with the same faculty." That "same
faculty" had various comments but the
best came from my English and French
instructor, a tiny little woman educated
at Smith College and the Sorbonne. "We
should live so long," she said.
You know, it just dawned on me, the
school could have celebrated its bicenten-
nial in 1992; I don't know whether it did or
not. That would have been 40 years after


From

Where


Opinion Column

BHIENDERSON@JCPGROUP. COM

I graduated: I now live 1,900 miles from
there and haven't been back in years. It's
so easy to lose contact, isn't it?
Another bicentennial occurred before
the.academy's; in 1976 the nation cel-
ebrated its own.
In 1976 Americans had much to cel-
ebrate; we had survived a Constitutional
crisis that would have sent a lesser nation
to the bone yard of history.
The national election of 1972 had
been mired in controversy. The break-in
at the Democratic National Headquarters
at the Watergate had occurred and. short-
ly after the election, it was traced straight
to the White House and the President of
the United States, Richard Nixon.
As that debacle was warming up,
Vice-president Spiro Agnew resigned in
disgrace in 1973, not from Watergate but
from scandals of his own choosing.


To replace him, Nixon nominated Rep.
-Gerald Ford (R) from Michigan; Congress
approved and we had a new vice president.
Nixon slugged it out for another year
and then in 1974, in order to avoid im-
peachment and removal, he, too, resigned
and went home to California.
Newly sworn in, President Ford's first
words to the world were, "Our long na-
tional nightmare is over." It was and the
world was amazed that we had survived.
In the years that followed, the nation
was divided by the Vietnam War. What
our returning,veterans faced became one
of our darker moments, but we survived
- somehow.
Now we are engaged in another un-
popular conflict in Iraq. But again we will
survive and hopefully, in doing so, will not
sink to the disgraceful depths that flowed
from Vietnam. When it comes right down
to .it, I don't much like the War on Terror-
ism and its manifestation in Iraq, but nei-
ther do I like being fair game and sitting
ducks for every two-bit religious fanatic
that crawls out from under a rock. .
Differences in opinion are healthy
things; they help us grow. But differences
don't have to result in division unless they
are held by persons so convinced of their
own rectitude that they can abide no op-
position.
When Henry Clay, for whom this coun-


ty is named, brought forth the Compro-
mise of 1850, he said, "I know no South,
no North, no East, no West. My allegiance
is to the Union." (I am indebted to Art Yea-
man for that bit of information.)
Returning to Clay County and our ses-
quicentennial, we, too, have much to cel-
ebrate in this year of grace.
We have a lifestyle that draws new
residents to the county in droves.
We have a school system that is a
model for the state.
We have survived our own govern-
mental crisis and are moving onward and
upward.
We see revival and renewal every-
where.
We have problems associated with
growth, traffic and so on but we are mov-
ing forward to solve them.
We see a new regionalism in North-
east Florida that includes Clay County
and opens the door to solutions to some
of our greatest problems.
As we celebrate these past 150 years,
we also are looking forward to the next 150
with confidence and optimism. Let it be so.
I can't leave without out this obser-
vation made on my way towork Tuesday
morning. Only in Florida will you see peo-
ple working outside on a chilly day clad in
a heavy coat and wearing shorts.
See ya.


Retired Wortham joins superintendent's


Clay Today staff

GREEN COVE SPRINGS Ben Wortham, who
left Clay County schools less than a year ago
for the greener pastures of retirement, says
he wants to be superintendent of schools.
Wortham joined the race for Clay County
superintendent on Tuesday, Jan. 23, when
he. formally filed as a candidate. Voters will
select the next superintendent in the Aug.
26 primary.
"I feel like a person who is the glue who
could hold the whole thing together," said
Wortham, 62.


Wortham said he
decided to join the
race after incumbent
Superintendent David
Owens announced
last week he wouldn't
seek a fourth term in
office. He joins candi-
dates Steve Richards
Ben Worthaand Patrick Thurman
who have already qualified to run for the
post. More candidates could qualify in com-
ing months.
Owens' announcement prompted sev-


eral people to call and urge him to run,
Wortham said.
''After Mr. Owens made his announce-
ment I got a call from a principal who said
Mr. Owens had called everyone to Green
Cove Springs-to tell them he wasn't run-
ning," Wortham said. "I was flooded with
calls from senior staff, teachers, people in
the community and some board members."
Running for the superintendent's post
was a "longtime aspiration," Wortham said,
but he didn't want to run against the man he
had served as a "silent advisor." So he en-
tered the state's Deferred Retirement Option


race


Program (DROP) program in 2002, which
gives participants up to five years to take
advantage of retiring with full benefits.
That time came in May when district
staff held a well-attended retirement party
for Wortham. "I didn't want to leave when I
left," he said. "I had gone into the DROP pro-
gram. I already have 30 years experience
before 57 years of age [but] that throws you
out at 62, and that's where I was."
If elected, Wortham said, he would not
make major changes to a school system he
joined in 1968 as a teacher at W.E. Cherry El-
ementary School. He left after serving the last
14 years as deputy superintendent, with stints
in between as assistant principal, principal,
director of elementary education and assistant
superintendent of instruction.
"There would be about as smooth as
transition of administrations-as possible. I
can do that because I knows all the staff," he
said. "I've kind of made it (the district) about
half of what it is already. I want to take is a
good system already and make that better."
Wortham said his priorities would be
focusing on students' safety and security,
rewarding good teachers and working with
legislature over funding issues. "I want to
work with our local legislators to maybe
stop some of these ridiculous mandates
from Tallahassee," said Wortham.
He noted it's been 44 years since a
Clay County superintendent of schools' race
didn'tinclude an incumbent.
Wortham's announcement also con-
vincell School board member Wayne Bolla
not to run for the superintendent's post.
"I was certainly considering it," said
Bolla, who previously said he won't seek re-
election this year to his School Board seat.
"(Wortham) is the most qualified person to
do the job. I think the world of the man."
The superintendent's job pays just over
$120,000 under state standards. However,
Clay County traditionally supplements the
salary to keep it ahead of other admin-
istrators. The board recently approved a
$146,000 salary for Owens in 2007-08.

Auditor report spotlights Animal Control


By Bob Henderson
Staff Writer
GREEN COVE SPRINGS A report from
county Auditor Mike Price received ac-
colades from the Clay County commission
Tuesday. Jan. 22, but generated little dis-
cussion,
It was, however, a major report.that
detailed the results of his investigation of
the Animal Control Division.
It began when Animal Control per-
sonnel went to 5799 Cactus Hill Drive,'
Keystone Heights on Oct. 10, 2007, in
response to an animal cruelty complaint.
There they took possession of three
horses, 13 pigs. six goats,-two dogs, 21
chickens, two geese, four rabbits and
one parrot. The action was alternately
depicted as a "seizure" and a "voluntary
relinquishment."
Later, on Oct. 25, Clay County Sher-


iff's Deputy Annie
-Henderson filed an
official complaint in
which she alleges
that the animals had
been improperly "ad-
opted or rescued"
by Animal Control
employees. Looking
back, between Oct. Fritz Behring
10 and Oct. 22, five
employees were permitted to take 43 of
-the 53 animals in county possession and
Henderson, herself, gave one of the hors-
es to a non-county employee. This latter
prompted county employees to lodge a
charge against Henderson and may -have
prompted her action filing against them.
Subsequent to this, County Manager
Fritz Behring asked the Human Resources
Coordinator to conduct an internal inves-
tigation and informed County Atto.rney


Mark Scruby of his
actions.
Behring also di-
rected staff to devel-
op policy that would
provide for the dispo-
sition of all animals;
current policy covers
only the disposition
Mark Scruby of dogs and cats.
As is frequently
the case, an "animal rescuer" in the com-
munity got wind of the investigation and
began raising concerns about the employ-
ees' status as "animal rescuers." At one
point, at least, the complaining citizen got
into a confrontation with Animal Control
employees who called for Sheriffs Of-
fice assistance in removing him from the
property. However, he left before depu-
ties arrived.
On Dec. 4 Behring asked Price to ac-


company him to a meeting with the com-
plaining citizen. The citizen referred to
Henderson's report about 52 animals sto-
len by Animal Control employees.
Price's report continues, "At least in
part, these allegations triggered much
criticism and demands for action from
some members of animal rescue organi-
zations and others in the community and
provided rich subject matters for blog-
gers whose opinions routinely appeared
in local media."
Later in December, Behring, Scruby
and Price met with Assistant State Attor-
ney Dan Skinner. Following a recounting
of the situation,.Skinner said he did not
believe any county employee had violated
the law. He did, however, express his ap-
proval of the steps Behring had already
taken and intended to take.

Nelson may get Beltway funding


By Leo King
Staff Writer
GREEN COVE SPRINGS There may be
federal cash in store for the Outer Belt-
way.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) paid a
visit to the County Seat on Friday, Jan.
%18 in a whirlwind visit to several towns
around the state and various town hall
meetings.
Nelson said, "The Commission wants
me to get them $250 million to build the
parkway. Now I'm saying that with a twin-
kle in my eye because you just don't go up


and get an appropriation to build a major
road like that. They have obviously a real
traffic problem here with only two main
arterial roads, and they desperately need
relief."
The current projected total cost, from
1-10 in Duval County through Clay County
and across St. Johns River to St. Johns
County is $1.5 billion.
"What you've got to do is get this
Florida Department of Transportation to
give you the approval to get that going,"
he added.
Nelson asked BCC Chairman George
Bush if someone could provide an update.


Bush was the only commissioner pres-
ent.
Bush replied, "We're still in a state of
flux right now. The counties have a plan.
All three counties have signed off on it."
Bush told the senator, "We're waiting
now for funding sources and opportuni-
ties. There's a request for proposals out
to look for that in the private sector. The
state is looking to go to the private fund-
ing area rather than wait for the federal
funding process because of the timing.
It would take 10 years, whereas we can
short-process four years."
Bush added that he will be.going to
Washington, D.C., in March, and that will
be one of the topics he and Nelson will be
discussing.
Bush showed Nelson a satellite map


with the proposed route overlaid on it.
The chairman said, "Eventually, we're
going to need a corridor to go down to Or-
lando east of St. Johns River, and going
on over to Tampa. That is the new 'magic
.route' that will connect us to our other
areas that we don't have. This could easily
become the first piece of the puzzle'."
Nelson asked Bush "The local govern-
ments preferred way of handling this is
to do it through a toll facility and private
financing as opposed to going through the
federal highway system?"
Bush said Nelson was correct, and
added, "If you and Corrine can get us the
money, we'd rather have the federal and
keep away from the tolls."

Board of County Commissioners Chairman George Bush explains to U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) how
the proposed Outer Beltway would be routed from 1-10 in Duval County through Clay County and across
St. Johns River to St. Johns County.

CCEA opposes

proposed tax

amendment
Dear Editor:
Currently we are experiencing a re-
cession and the real estate market is un-
settling, I am reminded of a statement that
my father uses: When you buy a Rolex for
ten cents, you have a Rolex that is worth
ten cents. Amendment 1 Property Tax
Reform is a ten cent Property Tax Reform
that is only worth a dime!
The proposed property tax amendment
on the ballot January 29th is not good for
Florida.. This Property Tax Reform provides
minimal tax relief while putting our public
schools and our public safety at risk. Not
only does Amendment One make our tax
system worse, it forces cuts in safety and
services to Floridians.
The ballot initiative increases the home-
stead exemption for some property owners
and allows homeowners to carry some of
the property-tax protections of Save Our
Homes with them if they move. However,
homeowners do hot receive the entire ad-
ditional $25,000 as the new exemption only
applies to the local government portion of
your tax bill. It doesn't apply to the schools
taxes. So the additional exemption will only
really be about $15,000.
For me, it means a savings of. about
$20 a month. What will this $20 cost me?
Which library in Clay County will close?
My grandchildren take the FCAT every
year. As a parent, grandparent, and edu-
cator I know that learning to read is one
of the most complex and challenging pro-
cesses in the life of a student. If one public
library closes in Clay County, then 20%
of education resources for our children in
Clay County are eliminated.
Which Fire station will close? How
many firefighters will be unemployed?
What happens to your homeowners in-
surance if the fire station that is only 1.5
miles from your.home closes and the next
closest fire station is 11 miles away? When
your house catches fire, what will be the
response time then? That $20 a month
that you get as a result of this bad Amend-
ment will not make a dent in recovering
your property losses not to mention your
personal loss if-someone should lose their
life or be injured in the fire.
With violent crime on the rise in Clay
County the last thing I want to propose is
downsizing law enforcement. What if your
home is burglarized or if someone breaks
in and assaults your family, what will be
the response time then? How.long before
the perpetrator is caught? The response
time in an accident can mean the differ-
ence in life or death of your loved ones?
Is a $20 a month savings in your property
tax going to be relevant then?
According to the Florida Department
of Education, Amendment One will cost
Clay County Schools $12.6 million over the
next 5 years. What will be cut? Will it be
personnel? Will it be -the complementary
busing for those students who live within
2 miles of the schools? Will it be facilities?
Will it be professional development? These
budget cuts will have a devastating impact
on school districts, classrooms and educa-
tion employees. Programs will be cut, ser-
vices curtailed and there will be layoffs are
possible: Raises will likely be smaller or
nonexistent ... even though public school
salaries in Florida are already thousands

Bowles knows his history


ORANGE PARK John Bowles is a walk-
ing history book. Ask him a question
about "The War of Northern Aggression,"
The War Between the States," or the .
Civil War, he'll have an answer, at least
as far as it pertains to Clay County.
'Want to know something about Clay
County?
Ask Bowles.
We had occasion to speak to Bowles
recently at length in his office at the Or-
ange Park Town Hall. He happens to be
the town's manager, but he's an avid his-
torian in his free time.
Born and raised in Green Cove
Springs, he went to college at St. Johns
Community College in Palatka.
"Passenger trains were still
running, but it was easier to
drive there," he said.
That was in the early ;
1960s. Passenger trains
quit running on the Atlan-
tic Coast Line in 1967,
the same year the carrier
merged with Seaboard Air
Line to form the Seaboard
Coast Line.
Bowles has parts of an old
Civil War rifle in his office. Its barrel is
rusty, at least on the outside. There's no
hammer or other flintlock workings with
it any more.
"I'm having it restored later this
year," he said.
"We'll be doing our part with the
county's sesquicentennial," he offered.

I don't believe that you have to be a
mental giant to know that this proposed
Property Tax Reform is not good Property
Tax Reform-. The Florida Association of
District Superintendents and the Florida
School Board Association agree. We have
heard repeatedly for the past year that
school districts will be held harmless. If
funding for public school districts is de-
creasing, how can they be held harmless?
In addition, the Florida Legislature has a
"constitutional obligation" to "adequately
fund public education." Reducing the
amount of funding for Clay County and 66
other schools districts is not holding public
education harmless. The education profes-
sionals, the Clay County School Board and

equately fund public education!"

rut. Why are New Year's resolutions so
hard to stick to? For many it's a matter of
setting the bar too high.
Many Americans enter 2008. wanting
to shed pounds and embrace healthy be-
haviors to ensure a long, active life. Here
are some tips that can help you stick to
your resolutions:
Be realistic.
Set attainable short-term goals
- say, 60 days. Then reassess after that
period and set new goals.
Be specific if your goals are too
broad, you leave room for excuses.
Don't give up! It takes about 30 days
to change a behavior after that, the new

way of doing things becomes your new
good habit. It gets easier after January!
If your plan is to exercise, whether
you're walking or running, invest in a good
pair of shoes.
Whether you set a New Year's Resolu-
tion or not, keep in mind that maintaining
healthy, active behaviors is a must.
Take a break and play a game with your-
spouse, children or grandchildren games
help keep your cognitive skills healthy.
Take advantage of the cooler weather
in these early months and take a walk
around the block or around the town.
Spend time with friends, family and
neighbors to prevent loneliness, as well
as to provide spark intellectual and physi-
cal activity. While you socialize, laugh!
Laughing increases circulation, kick-starts
immune system defenses, and improves
mental functioning while decreasing the
effects of stress.
Maintaining healthy behaviors
throughout the year is key to avoiding
battles with your health-care company
due to illnesses. Millions of Americans
are unaware of the importance of healthy
behaviors when combined with preventa-
tive medicine. Learn more at http://www.

Resident says GCS Council
needs change

Dear Editor:
I was amazed to find my name in a
Clay Today story about the recent disrup-
tive council meeting. I wasn't present for
the comment, but apparently Mayor Bu-
chanan thinks that listening to a voter's
concerns on debt and treatment of the
city manager by him and Vice-Mayor Kel-
ter equates to a "ration of (expletive) from
Luke Byrne."
I hope the mayor and any other offi-


cial who used foul language that evening
will take the time to apologize and refrain
from doing so in the future. It really is
inappropriate. As to the mention of my
name, perhaps I can explain.
Some two months ago, I attended a
city council meeting.
Three elected officials (Buchanan,
Kelter and Hampshire) were backing a
$10,000,000 debt issue. It appeared they
were having trouble getting the experts
they called in to support the proposal.
They subsequently have called for another
$3,000,000 for the Augusta Savage Cul-
tural Center, admittedly a good project.
The question is: Can the city afford it at
this time? I suspect such a debt would ul-

at one time, but a hard freeze killed
most of the trees.
The improvement company "created
a new town and called it Orange Park."
He continued, "The property was sub-
divided into building lots and subdivided
into buildings and small farm tracts, and
the present street system was laid out
which included Kinglsey Avenue, River
Road and Plainfield Avenue."
He said, "At one time there was a
Brown Street, but when the Jackson-
ville, Tampa & Key West Railway came
along in 1878, they were able to lay the
track in a straight line directly from
Duval County to Kinglsey Avenue on top
of the roadway. 'The street had never
-been "built, but it was laid out on the
planning maps."
That railroad route still exists, and
CSX travels there now along with some
Amtrak passenger trains.
The other sheet of-paper describes
the "Clarke Homestead."
Bowles wrote "Toward the end of


the American Civil War, one William
Clarke immigrated to America from
Bury-St Edmonds, England. After ar-
riving in New York, William enlisted in
the Union Army, a quick way of earning
money. Following a short enlistment,
and with the end of the war, William
moved to Jacksonville, and established
a plumbing and mechanical business."
He also built wooden caskets "for
many people that died during several
yellow fever epidemics in Jacksonville."
Clarke was married and had a son, and
bought a tract in Orange Park.
"Young Bill attended school in both
Orange Park and Jacksonville," Bowles
continued. After a try with oranges and
other crops, they settled on pecans be-
cause it was the only cash crop that
could survive a hard freeze.
Carrie Clark "took an active interest
in local affairs" and helped to organize
several community groups, including
the Woman's Club and First Baptist
Church.
Certainly there were other charac-
ters from those earlier eras, and we'll
be writing about many- of them.

timately mean higher taxes and/or fees.
Two of the elected officials (Buchan-
an and Kelter), together with a member
of the audience were questioning Don
Bowles, the city manager, about items on
the agenda. The questions seemed to go
on and on. It seemed as though they were
second guessing his every move.
I decided to speak up and render my
opinion. After all, this is America!
I was very serious and earnest in
suggesting they (Buchanan, Kelter and
Hampshire) maintain the conservative
approach to debt the city has shown in
the past, especially in these uncertain

McCall announces run


for County Commission


(Editor's note: The follow-
ing candidate announcement
is from County Commission
candidate David McCall.)
David McCall is listening to
friends, neighbors and the peo-
ple from all over Clay County.
"If your going to represent the
voters, you have to know the is-
sues. This election is not only David McCall
about mass transportation it's
also about paving roads, it's guarantee-
ing that Rescue Units are available when
they are needed and it's about managing
the growth that is sprawling throughout
our county."
David McCall also knows that serving
the public is one of the highest callings a
person can pursue. Elected officials make
positive or negative changes. That's why
honesty and integrity have to be part of
any candidate's character. "Parental val-
ues and church convictions have taught
me how to be responsible to my family,
myself and my community."
David McCall's common sense ap-
proach to life, coupled with his Associate
of Arts Degree, serve to enhance his lead-
ership quality. "As a firefighter I depend
upon formal training to identify chemical
hazards, but when the building's ablaze you
also trust common sense to keep you and
others safe." David McCall believes that by
drawing upon his education and using good
sense, he can confidently make the tough
decisions that will benefit Clay County.
Community commitment was part of


David McCall's past before he
sought an elected office. David
McCall is the past Treasurer and
an active member of the Republi-
can Men of Clay County. He also
was appointed to serve on the
Clay County Code Enforcement
Board and the Clay County Tran-
sit Committee. A Board member
of Barco/Newton YMCA., David
was also elected as an advisor
on the Jacksonville Police/Fire Pension
Board
Sharon and David McCall have been
married for twenty -four years. "She's a
wonderful friend and a supportive spouse
who champions my campaign." Our
daughter, Miranda, is seven years old.
David McCall also knows money is
budgeted. He understands the econom-
ics of sound spending. "You can't spend
money you don't have." I am opposed to
tax increases to raise revenue. This is
why new businesses need to be brought
into Clay County. It is also why residen-
tial developments must be planned with
the entire community in mind. Develop-
ers must also be good citizens.
"I sincerely believe that I am capable
of bringing good government to the people
of Clay County, responsible government for
everyone. My character and my concern for
people makes me the -right choice for the
new District 1 County Commissioner."
Should anyone want to speak with me
while I work to earn your vote, please feel
free to call upon me at my home, 215-9778,

Special to Clay Today

PALATKA A lifelong Palatka
resident has entered the race to
become the next state represen-
tative for District 21, the seat
being vacated by Rep. Joe Pick-
ens due to term limits.
Maurice Sterling, 50, said he
had received a lot of encourage-


Maurice Sterl


ment from community leaders,
friends and family to enter the race. He
is running as a Republican.
Florida House District 21 encompass-
es the southwest quadrant of Clay-County
as well as all of Putnam County, a small
portion of Bradford County, the eastern
half of Marion County, the northeast por-
tion of Lake County and-parts of western
Volusia County.
"Several people I respect have urged
me to run for the Legislature," Sterling said.


"This is a crucial time for our state
and I enter this race to lend posi-
tive leadership going forward."
Sterling, who has served
two years on the Putnam County
Code Enforcement Board and
more than four years, on the
Putnam County Planning Com-
mission, has years of public
ling service and civic involvement
experience that will prove help-
ful to the residents of District 21.
Sterling has served as a senior man-
ager with the St. Johns River Water Man-
agement District and holds professional
credentials as a certified public manager.
He currently serves as the volunteer
vice president of the North Florida Coun-
cil, Boy Scouts of America, and is respon-
sible for program delivery to more than
50,000 youth members throughout a,17-
county area.


Orange Park author pens children's tale


Special to Clay Today

ORANGE PARK -- J.G. Jones, of Orange
Park, releases a new children's book na-
tionwide this week titled, "Frisky Find."
Published by Tate Publishing & En-
terprises, the book tells the story of
how Sandy is allowed to keep the cud-
dly ferret she endearingly calls Boo-Boo.
Sandy and Boo-Boo are happy about


their meeting because Sandy gets the
best birthday gift and Boo-Boo finds a
new home.
The book is available at any bookstore
nationwide or can be ordered through
barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, tar-
get.com or directly from the publisher at
orders@tatepublishing.com.
Jones has lived with three ferrets over
11 years, which inspired his story.

financial times.
I spoke about how unhappy I was with
their second guessing of the city manager.
I told both Buchanan and Kelter that they
were an embarrassment to me as a citizen
of Green Cove Springs and suggested they


stop this behavior immediately.
Based on information contained in the
recent column, I assume my suggestions
were ignored.
If the current group that appears to
control the City Council (Buchanan, Kel-
ter and Hampshire) wants to take out
$10,000,000 or $15,000,000 in debt,
they should take it to the voters. Since-
my household's share would be approxi-
mately $2,500 per person, I would like to


vote on it.
Also, if they have charges to bring
against the city manager, or feel strongly
enough to bring a motion to fire him, they
should do so. To continue along these lines
only wastes time, tarnishes the reputation
of the city and takes the focus away from
important issues at hand. This second
guessing tends to paralyze operations
and is contrary to the best interests of the
city. It is not difficult to envision every


city employee looking over his/her shoul-
der every time a decision is made.
Finally, it is unfair to browbeat Mr.
Bowles in this manner. He is a fine public
servant and is undeserving of such treat-
ment. I hope others feel the same way
and will make their voices heard to the
appropriate elected officials. If not now,
then come election day.

County changes several


voting locations


Special to Clay Today

GREEN COVE SPRINGS More than
15,000 Clay County voters will affected
by the change in several polling location
changes for the Presidential Preference
Primary Tuesday, Jan. 29.
In addition to help meet the increased
volume of incoming telephone calls on
Election Day, the Supervisor of Elections
will activate its Election Day phone to an-
swer voters' questions.
A total of 15,675 voters will be affected
by these changes and each voter has been
sent a sample ballot with specific informa-
tion about their polling location change.
"With continued growth in the county
we have had to change and some polling
locations within the county," said Barbara
Kirkman, supervisor of elections. "Several
sites were not available for use as polling
locations any longer."
Each voter that was affected by the
changes was! sent a new voter informa-
tion card to ensure they are aware of


these changes. The Elections Office will
be placing staff at the old polling locations
to instruct voters to the new location on
Election Day.
More than 60 poll deputies have been
hired for the primary, Kirkman said.
Deputies are stationed outside the
precinct and their job is to remind voters
to present their photo and signature ID.
They are also tasked with making sure
no soliciting occurs within 100 feet of the
polling room entrance.
The Elections Office also has hired
almost 400-poll workers for the Primary
and General Elections this year.
Clay County has 60 voting locations,
and each location has a Clerk, Assistant
Clerk, Deputy and Inspectors.
Each poll worker is paid for the day
that they are assigned to work, making
anywhere from $125 to $160 for election
day work.
Contact the Elections Office at (904)
269-6350 or (904) 284-6350 or go online

Tax cut

the amendment it would mean serious
cutbacks in local services. Bush said if the
amendment passes it will affect not just
schools but also fire and police services.
Based on figures from the Tax Assessor's
Office, property values in Clay County will
be devalued and, Bush said, "The devalua-
tion is deep and coming."
In addition to VanZant and Bush, other
public officials in 'attendance were Or-
ange Park Mayor Bob Standifer, Keystone
Heights Mayor Marilou Hildreth, Green


Cove Springs Councilman Bob Page,
Firefighter's Union president Clu Wright,
School Board Member Carol Vallencourt
and School Superintendent David Owens.
VanZant labeled the amendment, "a
poorly written bill." He said it needs to be
sent back to the Legislature for additional
work.
Constance Higginbotham of the Clay
County Educational Association said her
organization, "...is devastated by the im-
pact the amendment will have on the com-
munity. Some services will go away. If it
hurts the schools, if it hurts teachers, it
hurts children."
Ken Carter of the Clay Educational
Support Professionals Association also


spoke in opposition.
Hildreth, noting her community's
small budget and resources said, "One
day I may have to mail the key to the city
to Tallahassee and tell them, 'Thank you,
but we can no longer afford to be a city.'"
Page read a release that cited the
Green Cove Springs council's opposition.
Owens agreed that changes are nec-
.essary. Noting the number of proposals
that had been put forward, he said that


it seems whoever has the ball last, wins.
He said his solution to the tax problem
is to close the loopholes in the sales tax.
The School District estimates it will lose
$12.5 million over five years if the amend-
ment is passed.
The revenue realized, he said, would
come close to abolishing property tax al-
together.
No Clay County officials have spoken
publicly in favor of the amendment.

Day care issue splits OP neighborhood


By Greg Walsh
Managing Editor

ORANGE PARK A neighborhood dispute
over whether some Cuban immigrants
should be granted a rezoning in order to
open a daycare center is touching on topics
larger than traffic concerns and threatening
commercial development.
Yunia Lima, who bought the property at
101 Suzanne Ave. in 2007, said she believes
neighbors oppose her plan because she is
Hispanic.
"It's not that it's a day care," Lima said.
"It's because they don't want Hispanics in
the area."
But nearby residents who oppose the
plan deny race plays any role in their oppo-
sition. Instead they point out the Suzanne-
Moody Avenues intersection is already
clogged with cars and school buses
on weekday mornings and after-
noons.
Lima's proposal was rejected
in December by the Clay County
Commissioners, even though the
Planning and Zoning Commission
gave it lukewarm approval. But
Lima and her husband aren't stop-
ping with their efforts.
They have filed for non-binding
arbitration on the issue and plan to
present their plan to a special mag-
istrate next month in Orange Park.
In addition, the Limas hired a Jack-
sonville attorney, Kenneth Draper,
to file a writ in Circuit Court in the
event the County. Commissioners
again reject the matter.
Opposition to the plan goes
back further than this latest fight,
however.
Longtime resident Marion
Hilliard remembers when the in-
tersection sat in the middle of a
mostly rural area. Chicken coops Osvaldo I

School is now located, Hilliard said, center.
Suzanne was just a dirt road lead-
ing back to Blanding Boulevard and Moody
was unpaved south to Peoria Avenue.

growing in the 1980s and 1990s more

Students cross Suzanne Avenue at Moody Avenue while school buses pass on Tuesday, Jan. 22. Neighbors

residents back her proposal.
But Hilliard says that's because they
are hoping Lima's rezoning goes through so
that they can sell their homes to commer-
cial developers at much higher prices.
Lima admits she faces an uphill battle
with the building, which she said was left in
terrible condition by the previous owners. A
number of renovations are necessary, plus it
will need adequate parking. County planning
staff also say a swimming pool will have to
be filled in and the structure will need to be
"radically different" to meet state day.care
requirements.
It's worth the trouble, Lima said, be-
cause the area desperately needs more day
care centers. When she and her husband
moved to the area last year from West Palm
Beach they had extreme difficulty finding
daycare for their children.
Ray and Eileen Smith, who moved into
a Green Ridge Road home about six months
ago, say putting a business on the corner
would make a bad situation much worse.
The Smiths maintain 90 percent of
Greenridge Road and 80 percent of Suzanne
oppose the plan.
"This is very serious... We're opposed
to losing property value on the home we just
purchased. It would make this area an un-
desirable place to live," Eileen Smith said.
"We have a great deal of children around
here. We're very serious; we don't want this
to happen."
Even Lima seemed to agree the traffic
is an issue at times. "Who would want to
live here with the traffic being so bad?" she
asked in response to questions about the
traffic.
She points out that county planning offi-
cials recommended the day care's entrance


be off of Suzanne and not Moody, in part.
because of a deep drainage ditch running
along the Moody side of the property.
Yunia Lima, a medical assistant, said
she and her husband, a self-employed re-
pairman, are living in the Suzanne Avenue
house with their two children and renting
out their home.
"This is perfect for a day care. I don't
know why they don't want a day care there,"
she said. "We have state certification for a
day care and I have a director approved."
Greenridge Road residents were not
aware of the initial Planning and Zoning
Commission hearing, Hilliard said, because
a sign announcing the meeting was obscured
by trees on the property. One resident who
went to speak in opposition was surprised
when no one else showed up to comment.
Opposition began to grow when the
Limas cut down several large Oak trees on
the property and Hilliard noticed the sign
prior to the matter coming before the Coun-
ty Commissioners in December.
A number of factors are going into op-
posing the day care plan,. Ray Smith said,
but none of them involve race.
I "That's absolutely ludicrous," Smith
said. "There are neighbors on Green Ridge
who are Hispanic. This is a totally deseg-
regated neighborhood. It has nothing to do
with that. Anyone who is trying to play that
card is grasping for straws. They don't hav6
any other valid reasons."
Hilliard also denied any racial bias.
"That's very unfair statement for them
to make," she said. "That's very upsetting."
The hearing before the special magis-
trate is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, at
the Orange Park Library and is open to the
public.

Pike uses fine art of glass etching
By Lynn Gerlach they had opted for etched windows instead
Correspondent of stained glass.. But they wanted images
copied from the windows of their old church,


MIDDLEBURG Sand blasting is not a deli-
cate art.
The term calls to mind brutal cleaning
jobs involving massive, rugged surfaces, so
imagine looking into a standard-sized mirror
onto which has been sand blasted an image
of the USS John F. Kennedy, including every
detail down to the jet engines on each tiny
aircraft. The delicate image appears to
have been hand-painted with the finest of
brushes. That's sand blasting at its best; it's
called glass etching.
Middleburg's premiere glass etcher,
owner of her very own sand blasting nra-
chine, is Navy wife and St. Petersburg native
Jennifer Pike. She incorporated her art busi-
ness, Creative Impressions, Inc., in 2003,
but her artistic bent goes back a long way.
The daughter of a florist and a builder,
Jennifer has never known a day in which art
did not flow easily through her veins.
"I've just always been artsy," she said
modestly. "I started selling my paintings
in high school, and that's also when I was
hired by a glass company in Clay County.
They wanted me to draw original designs
for them. They also taught me the basics of
etching on glass. I taught myself the rest,
and within months I was their primary glass
etcher."
In 2001, married to a U.S. Navy chief,
Jennifer felt the need to go to college and
earn a viable-degree.
"I knew I was a good artist," she said,
"but I felt I needed that piece of paper." She
studied at St. Johns River Community Col-
lege and Florida School of the Arts in Pal-
atka. In 2003, with her associate of science
degree in hand, she got the big commission
that gave her the confidence to start her
own business: Her church came calling.
Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Green
Cove Springs had built a new church, and


and they thought Jennifer Pike was the glass
etcher for the job.
"It was the most challenging job I've
ever done," Jennifer explains, "simply be-
cause they were human faces and figures.
Glass etching is not a fully dimensional art.
so it really can't do justice to the human


Glass etcher Jennifer Pike of Middleburg prepares for a light touch of sand onto a piece she
is creating. At left is detail of another piece she has created. It's part of a church window, Pike

quired a full day of sand blasting. "With that
job behind me and a degree in my hand, I
ha'd the confidence to try anything," Pike
said. Her favorite subjects are animals.
She finds bird images particularly popular
in north Florida, but military images such
as ships and airplanes are also much in de-
mand here.
Regardless of her subject matter, Pike
follows the same steps for each project. First
she draws (by hand or on the computer) an
original image, unless the client has provid-
ed a logo or other proprietary design. Then


she imprints her pattern on a resist
medium such as vinyl a material
that will resist the sand. Next she
either cuts the pattern out, creating
a stencil, or she applies it directly to
the glass and carefully cuts it with
an X-Acto knife. Finally comes the blast of
aluminum oxide or silicone carbide, ejected
at high velocity through a nozzle about 2-
3 inches in diameter. "A lot of the work is
'blind,'" Pike explains, "because the wide
nozzle covers much of the detail." For subtly
shaded areas the artist removes parts of the
stencil and etches another layer.
"You have to feel the strength of the
blast to monitor how deeply you're carving,"
Pike explained. "It takes experience. You
often can't see exactly what you're doing."
Interestingly, in glass etching, shadows are


formed just the opposite of the way they're
created in other art forms. The more sand
blasted on, the lighter the image. A shadow
gets only a light blasting of sand.
Pike also creates paintings, pen add
ink drawings, and water colors in all sizes.
She has even illustrated a children's book.
In addition, she provides glass etching ser-
vices for a variety of glass companies in
Clay County. Her one-of-a-kind creations
range in price from $15 to $1,500. A typical
glass door, etched on site (using her dust-
free vacuum system) usually costs $350 to
$500.
Creative Impressions is off Santa Clara
Drive. Jennifer's work can be viewed on her
website at www.creativeetchinig.net. Her
studio phone number is (904) 338-8809.

Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated in Green Cove Springs


By Bob Henderson
Staff Writer
GREEN COVE SPRINGS Isaac
Brown set the tone for the Martin
Luther King Jr. day of celebration
at Mt. Pleasant Missionary Baptist
Church Monday, Jan 21. "There
was a man sent from God to do
his work," he said. "Where we are
today, what we are. doing today, for
these we can thank God and Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr."
After a lot of music, singing and
the introduction of guests and local
officials, Rev. Dr. Randall, pastor
of-St. Simon's Church in Orange
Park told the audience that King
had died for civil rights, for equal
rights and for voting rights. Today,
he said, we are digressing, going
backwards. He-said that Democrats
in Florida can vote but that their
vote will be ignored by the national
party. "The Florida leadership has
allowed the denial of your Consti-
tutional rights," he said, "you ought
highly upset."
When Rev. Richard Curry mo
the-pulpit, he told the congregati
am overwhelmed by this occasion. I
honor to follow a preacher, a prop
Dr. Randall's caliber."
He said, "I am not unaware o
prestigious this occasion is; you ha
riched my r6sum6."
Curry described King as a "
prophet."
Curry said that he had though
might speak on "What have we don(
the vision?" Then he said that the the
the day's celebration was "A day on.
day off." So he said that he would co

"Dr. King did not see the
church of God joining hands with
Caesar in the form of faith-based
grants," he said. "He did not see
strapless people being told to pull
themselves up by their own boot-
Sstraps."
He condemned "hoods" where
people don't know each other.
Curry described the current
situation as "new racism dressed
in corporate suits.
Earlier in the program Harold
Anderson had presented "A young
man's perspective" in which he

early in his presentation that he

five or six years, by what is knows as a
'highway bill.' and projects are authorized
in a highway bill. That highway bill is now
in the middle of a six-year period, so the
next one is coming up would be in about
another three years," or around 2011..
"Once you've got it, then you would be
projecting ahead for another six years and
then it has to go through all the approvals
of the Florida Department of Transpor-
tation which actually oversees the plan-
ning, the design, and the acquisition of the
right-of-way."
Turning to gasoline prices and the
return Florida gets from each tax dol-
lar, Bush said, "We get about 90 percent
of our tax dollars in the federal system.
We're actually a donor state." He noted
the percentage has risen in the last 10
years, and if Nelson can help raise the re-
turn, that would help fund projects.
Nelson explained, "It was just a few
years ago that we were getting about 76
cents back on a dollar of our federal gas
tax.
"As recently as three or -four years
ago, that was up to 89 cents and in the
last highway bill, we got it out of the Sen-
ate that it was going all the way up to 95
cents, but the House and the White House
would not go along with our position. We
ended up being able to move it up to 92.
cents on the dollar. We will continue to
keep inching that up."
He added that there are "some states
that get more than the dollar back, and
we're in a constant tug-of-war with
them."
Some of the people attending the
town hall meeting were Keystone Heights
Mayor Mary Lou Hildreth and city coun-
cilman Lyndel Hale of Keystone Heights
as well as Green Cove Springs city man-
ager Don Bowles.
Tom Moore of the Clay Country School
District said they were having a problem
with the IRS and cell phone use, not only
in Clay County but statewide.
He explained if someone uses a cell
phone provided by his employer, then the
user is liable for taxes and must keep a
log of all personal calls. He said that is
impractical.
He cited an IRS regulation that spelled
out that it had to be included on a W-2
form.
"It sounds like the IRS has gone hay-
wire," said the senator.
Bush interjected that the county pro-
hibits using a cell phone provided by the
county for personal use.
Moore responded,' "You're dead on.
That's exactly what you need to do. The
problem is, even though you identify that
as policy, you're still required to monitor
those bills to determine, if, in fact, they
are not using it for personal calls."
Nelson remarked, "I just found out a
new mission I didn't know."
Hale, of Keystone Heights, is also a
member of Save Our Lakes. "I would hope
that you could set aside federal funds for
alternative water solutions and for water
reuse projects, desalinization plants and
all the things we need to do to get water
sent back to recharge areas.
He urged the Senator to oppose with-
drawals and draw down of surface wa-
ters.

Fight leads

to stabbings,

police say
Clay Today staff
ORANGE PARK One man was in serious
condition Wednesday, Jan. 23, with life
threatening stab injuries after a fight at a
Fleming Island park.
Another man was stabbed and a third
person was shot during the fight that
started about 6 p.m. Tuesday at Arm-
strong Park on County Road 220, the Clay'
County Sheriff's Office said.
Those two victims were later treated
and released from Shands Jacksonville.
None of the victims had been identified as
of Wednesday.
Detectives believe that a fight broke
out during a basketball game being played
by a larger group of young men of which
the three injured persons were a part, the
Sheriff's Office said.
Interviews of victims., suspects and
witnesses are ongoing, said Sheriff's
Office spokesperson Mary Justino. De-
tectives were working Wednesday to de-
termine what role each involved person
played in this incident.
No arrests have been made at this
time, she said.
A gun also was recovered from a near-
by pond by the Sheriff's Office dive team,
she said.


Report
FROM PAGE 3A

In his report, Price says that he
finds the practice of allowing county
employees to "rescue" animals with-
out fee appears to be improper.
Price presented five recommenda-
tions to the BCC:
Review the County Manager's
proposed changes to the county code
incorporating adoption fees for ani-
mals other than dogs, and cats and
providing for animal rescues at re-
duced fees.
Review and adopt Behring's pro-
posed formal process for determining
and designating individuals and orga-
nizations as "animal rescuers."
Rethink the cooperative program
between the BCC and the CCSO. Re-
design the program emphasizing clear
and concise assignment of responsi-
bilities for seizing and disposal of ani-
mals in abuse and neglect cases.
Consider asking the Sheriff to
disclose to. the board the results of
his investigation regarding the horse
allegedly taken by the animal abuse
investigator.
Consider asking the Sheriff to
assign a new officer to the duties of
animal abuse investigator.
In other business, the BCC hand-
ed the Jacksonville Golf and Learning
Center suffered another setback.
In. other business, the BCC hand-
ed the Jacksonville Golf and Learning
Center suffered another setback.
In November, the Estate applied
for a land use amendment for portions
of the Ravines, an upscale residential
and resort development in the Middle-
burg area. The Planning Commission
at its Jan. 8 meeting adopted a "Not-
to-study" recommendation. On Jan.
11, the Estate filed a letter of appeal
that resulted in Tuesday's hearing.
The action effectively stops the ap-
plicant's pursuit of a land use amend-
ment; there is no further recourse
within the administrative structure of
the county.

Anytime Fitness provides 24-hour access


Clay Today Staff
MIDDLEBURG Kim Macy has "managed
health clubs for 27 years," she said, "so I
thought it was time I managed my own."
She did it in a big way.
She opened an Anytime Fitness club.
It's open 24 hours on College Road, right on
the Middleburg-Orange Park line, and it's a
co-ed operation.
Macy is a franchisee of Anytime Fit-
ness. Like most entrepreneurs, she said, "I
take great joy in working for myself."
She said she "wanted to go an area
that needed an exercise center. I'm from
Jacksonville, and there's nothing available


where I wanted to go, so I started looking
elsewhere."
She checked out Orange Park and Mid-
dleburg.
"The lease here on College Drive was
right," she said, although she almost set up
shop at a site near Branan Field Road and
Blanding Boulevard. "I'm still working out
the kinks," she laughed.
While Macy was on the floor, her daugh-
ter, Nicole, was in the office downloading a
security program for the shop.
Samantha "Sam" Manwarren of Mid-
dleburg was working out on a elliptical
machine.
"Her whole family has a membership,"


said Macy, "Her mom, dad and brother. Be-
fore we opened, I started signing up people
five weeks ago on a table outside." So far,
she has signed up 90 people.
It took five weeks for Anytime Fitness to
come in and build the room to its specifica-
tions and install the exercise equipment.
. Since they are open 24 hours, "We take
security seriously. We give people who want
to workout at odd hours a security fob." That
small device can be hung around the neck,
and is an electronic key to open the door.
"We already have two people who exer-
cise at 3:30 a.m.," she said.
The facility has a sophisticated security
system that includes cameras.
She also has five treadmills, five bi-
cycles and other exercise equipment in the
room.
There's even a suntan room.
"We started 'zumba' classes in the ex-
ercise room last week," she said. It's danc-


ing but aimed toward exercise.
Those classes areheld on Mondays at
6:30 p.m.
After working up a sweat after work-
ing out with weights and other equipment,
there are showers available to wash away"
the residue.
Three full-timers work there, including
Kim and her daughter, Nicole.
A one-year membership will cost $62
for two people in the same household, $37
for a.single person. A family membership is
$80 for three or four people. There is also a
$19 one-time registration fee, and key card
activation is $29.
"Hero discounts apply to law enforce-
ment, fire, rescue, active duty military and
certified teachers," a flyer states. A single
session tan or workout fee is $8.
Anytime Fitness is located at 420 Col-.
lege Drive, Middleburg, and their phone
number is (904) 735-7114.


Daughter and mom Nicole and Kim Macy cheese it up in the Macy's new Anytime Fitness club in on
College Drive, Middleburg.

Auto parts store opens


on Argyle Forest Blvd.


By Jim Kelly
Staff Writer
ARGYLE John Ditomaso is the store
manager at Advance Auto Parts, 6251
Argyle Forest Blvd.
"Would you believe that despite being
open for several months now," said the
long-time local retailer, "People are still
coming in to say they didn't realize we
are here. I think it is due to a couple of
reasons. A lot of traffic passes here mov-
ing rather quickly and a big,storage ware-
house is blocking the view of our building
until motorists are already abeam the
shopping center."

Many motorists who stopped by
said they were unaware that the mega-
warehouse auto parts store was actually
open.
"We.are big tans of NASCAR" said
Reinaldo Cuevas. He and spouse Mari-
lyn Cuevas brought their son Nate Olmo
to seethe monster truck on display out
front. The Argyle residents said they will
stop by the Advance Auto Store more
often in the future. "Now that we know
it is here, I will be looking for windshield
wipers and other accessories for my car,"
said Cuevas.
Tony and Lisa Orcechowski of Cypress
Point in Argyle said they knew the stpre
was open but hadn't had occasion to stop
before. They brought Haley to see the
Grave Digger Monster Truck.
Originally from Oklahoma, the fam-


ily continued their enthusiasm for NAS-
CAR and Monster Trucks after moving to
Florida. "We have attended every show
at the coliseum," said Tony, "Haley just
loves them."
Inside Advance Auto Parts, Division
Manager Brian Jones has been in the auto
parts business for 20-plus years.
"'The auto parts business has changed
dramatically," said Jones.
"Where once an air filter might fit ten
different cars, now it may be specialized
to fit-only one model," he said. "Fortu-
nately, computers keep us up-to-speed
on what fits where and many of our techs
are Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)
professionals, including manager John
Ditomaso."
Inside the store, customers will meet
Lisa, Russ and Kevin who happily help
auto DlYs (do it yourselfers) find appro-
priate parts for hands-on experience.
The inventory at this Argyle Forest lo-
cation is a little more expanded, accord-
ing to Lisa.
"Today's modern stores offer a big-
ger sales floor and expanded inventory.
Services may include windshield wiper
installation, parts delivery to your garage
and no hassle returns on quality brands,"
said Assistant Manager Lisa.
Ditomaso hopes people will notice
his store and remember it is there. "We
are convenient when motorists are driv-
ing home from work and realize they need
a few automotive accessories," said the
expressive.Ditomaso.


Local author shares a


'Joyful Perspective'


By Kelly J. Stigliano
Correspondent
ORANGE PARK When Tricia Boy-
sen started sending daily Christian
devotionals to friends some of them
began encouraging her to write a
book.
So she did.
"Sometimes I write four a day,"
said Boysen, a teacher's assistant
in the ESE department of Thun-
derbolt Elementary. "Then maybe
I'd not write for awhile," she said.
"They're basically my experiences
and I write when an idea comes to
me."
In a Bible study with friends,
the suggestion came up that Boysen
should share her devotionals with
friends via a daily e-mail. Loca
Word spread and her e-mail list Joyfu
grew from 15 to nearly 100 within
a year. Many suggested she compile
her meditations into a book. This was the
birth of "Joyful Perspective," her first
book, published by Xlibris Publishing.
Boysen has been writing since child-
hood.
"When I was a kid I had four things
I wanted to do," she said. "I wanted to
teach in a pre-kindergarten, and I have.
I wanted to work in a school cafeteria. I
wanted to be a go-go dancer. That never
happened and never will. And I wanted to
be a writer. I finally have a book with my
name in it that doesn't say, 'please return
to'!" Boysen continued, "I've written for
as long as I can remember way before I
could spell correctly."
With a full-time job, a husband, four
children, six grandchildren and activi-
ties at her church, the Good Samaritan
Anglican Church, Boysen has little time
for hobbies. Reading and writing consume
what free time she has. She recently won
an Honorable Mention in a Writer's Digest


PHOTO SPECIAL TO CLAY TODAY
I Author Tricia Boysen proudly displays her first book,
Ii Perspective.

Short Story Contest for "I'm a Thief." a
Christian-based story.
Boysen's second book is currently in
the works. "Trends" is her first fiction
work and is about the Carlucci family.
"I grew up in Syracuse, N.Y., by big
Italian families," she said. "I'm 100 per-
cent Irish and all my friends were either
Greek or Italian. I loved those families
and now I have my own," she said, speak-
ing of the family in her novel.
"They are very real to me. It's a real
family. With them I combine all the things
I like fun, family and food."
Boysen said each family in Trends has
their own outline, so a series may be in
her future.
Within the first two days Joyful Per-
spective was available, Boysen sold 41
copies.
"It's all in God's timing," she said.

'Yankee Slickers' continue Clay County's Southern Rock heritage


By Amy Howard
Correspondent


I


ORANGE PARK- Since their first per-
formance together in 2005, the Yankee
Slickers have charfied North Florida
audiences with their unique brand
of rock and roll. Along the way, they
accumulated a growing fan base who
follow them around the region. Pub-
lic enthusiasm is making it clear that
these Clay County sons are worthy of
a national audience.
A Yankee Slickers performance is
likely to include songs from the likes
of the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynrd,
Tom Petty, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppe-
lin. This cover selection allows them to
showcase their talent with legendary
classics, as well as introduce the re-
freshing quality of their original pieces.
The widespread appeal of Yankee
Slickers' music shows in the diversity
of their fans. Twenty-three year old

But what really makes them rock?
"It's those two brothers and their
screaming [freaking] guitars," said
the band's original bass player, Billy
Thorntog. Paul and Jason Ivey play
dual guitars. Pickering said, "They har-
monize very, very well together, their
two guitars." Watching the chemistry
of the brothers on stage is indeed mes-
merizing. "They've got a lot of soul,"
said Caputo.
In a roundabout way, the soul is
reflected in the name. 'Yankee Slick-
ers' came from Lynyrd Skynyrd's song,
Working For MCA. Skynyrd's use of
the term denotes industry executives
who mold "puppet" artists. Jason Ivey
believes that defines many of today's
chart toppers. This band sets its own
standards. "History repeats itself," said
Jason, "and I think it's time for real mu-
sicians making real music that's from
their heart and soul."
That explains why Yankee Slick-
ers, even with their mastery of classic
legends, don't sound outdated. South-
ern rock is their main influence, but
not their mold. They create their own
art. "I think what it comes down to is
the purity," said Jason. "Good music is
timeless."
The Ivey brothers also write the songs,
long with childhood friend Paul Lutman,
hom they deem "a great, great song-
riter." When it comes to lyrics, they try
keep it simple. "I want our music to be
appreciated by the technical musicians,
ut I also want it to reach the common
ar," said Jason.
The band currently consists of Jason
'ey on guitar and lead vocals, Paul Ivey
n guitar and vocals, Tom Coughter on
ass and vocals, and Jon Farmer on
rums. Coughter graduated from UNF in
azz and Farmer graduated from FSU. But
ie Ivey brothers are a blend of genetic
lent and home-grown training, produced
y parents Ron and Sharon Ivey.
"Our dad played the organ in the
church .we grew up in, and our mom sang
the choir," explained Jason.
Paul added, "Every Sunday morning,
ny dad would go in [the living roori] and
p on the piano... He'd be warming up be-
ause he was fixing to go to the sanctuary
nd play an offertory solo or something."
Jason continued, "Next thing you
now, mom's singing along, then every-
ody's singing along."
Commutes from Maxville were often
ar concerts. "We'd be doing Coming
round the Mountain, or For the Longest
ime," said Jason. "We'd all pick up the
armonies and sing along."
As for formal training, Paul considers
is middle school band class free lessons.
Ralph Coleman at Wilkinson was one of
ie best teachers that's ever taught in the
istory of Clay County."
Jason agreed.- "If you were one of
hose people that tried really hard, but
ou just didn't have the music in you, he
'ould take you seriously. If you were a
ut-up and you didn't have the music in
ou, you're out on the porch. If you're a
ut-up but you had the music in you, you
at up front."
The Ivey brothers also learned a lot
'om their uncle, Paul Kaleel, who per-
rmed with the Palmer Kaleel band in
he 1980s.
The Yankee Slickers have just record-
d their first CD. It is being co-produced
y Jimmy DeVito, who also recorded re-
ional greats such as Tom Petty. The next
tep is taking it on the road. "We're going
o start touring relentlessly and-just get
ur name out there," said Jason.
Meanwhile, Yankee Slickers would
ke.to further ground their roots in Clay
ounty.
"When we think about it," said Jason,
we grew up playing a lot of times around
ampfires out in Maxville or down at the
reek." The band members hope to play
)r their old friends at events such as
lam Jam, the Railroad and History Festi-
al, and charitable benefits.

The Pangborns acquired Indy from

he is about 18 months old. After that, he

with a client. From that point, the dog and

Florida Impact program


PENNEY FARMS Florida Impact is
one of the nation's leading organiza-
tions at work to end childhood hunger in
America. The state of Florida has been
selected to implement a multi-year,
Ten-Part Plan to End Childhood Hun-
ger. Florida Impact has been selected
to oversee this project in the state.
Recently, Debra Susie, Execu-
tive Director of Florida Impact, spoke
to the Penney Retirement Community,
presenting the issues and sharing with
the group, the progress that has been
made in providing school feeding pro-
grams for the many needy families in
all.67 counties in Florida.
Children in 19 counties in Florida,
in the 1980s had no access to a school
breakfast. Florida Impact rose to the
occasion by passing a state mandate
requiring all elementary schools to
offer it. In that first year over 50,000
children sat down for the first time to
a school breakfast. The overwhelming
majority of these children came from
low-income families. Today, nearly a
half-million school children in all of
Florida participate in this nutrition
program each school day. Florida
ranks second highest in the nation
for the percentage of schools offering
breakfast to its students.
Florida Impact saw another need
that was not being met, that of meeting
the needs of kids during the summer
months, when families with low in-
comes may not be able to provide meals
for their children. In order to meet this
challenge, Florida Impact passed the


Willie Ann Glenn Act (WAG Act). The
percentage of those using the Summer
Food Service
Program had
steadily declined
since 2000. It
was discovered
that not all chil-
dren could ac-
cess the federal
summer nutri-
tional programs Debra Susie from
because, where Florida Impact
there were sites
in operation, many were not open dur-
ing the summer. Florida Impact part-
nered with numerous organizations
and church groups and worked to pass
a state law that would ensure summer
sites near all elementary schools in
low-income neighborhoods.
Florida Impact continues to work
in all 67 counties to provide not just
lunches for needy school children,
but they continue to provide count-
less breakfasts, snacks or seconds for
lunch. Additional programs include
Child and Adult Care Food and Special
Supplemental Nutrition for Women,
Infants and Children.
To learn more about this very
important service to the children at-
tending schools in Florida, go to their

hassee. You may call them at (850)

ty gratefully appreciated DebraSusie's
presentation and learned much from
what she had to share with the group.

Penney Farms council selects new officers


By Linda Mclnturff
Correspondent

PENNEY FARMS the first order of busi-
ness for the Jan. 15 Town Meeting of Pen-.
ney Farms was to elect a mayor and vice
mayor for 2008. Thomas DeVille was re-
elected mayor by acclamation. Elsie Mc-
Clain, the newest member of the council,
was re-elected vice mayor and accepted
the post. They will take the Oath of Office
at the February Council Meeting.
Stephen Molina, CCSO Deputy,
thanked the council for the community's
active participation in crime prevention
and the successful VIPS patrol. No serious
crime was reported during December, but
speeding through the town along Route 17
remolains an issue,
Chief Fred McCutcheon of Penney
Farms Volunteer Fire Department report-


ed on "Fire wise Communities" a 7-year
project. Once again, Penney Farms was
chosen to be the first community in Clay
County to spearhead a countywide initia-
tive. Penney Farms' small size, pro-ac-
tive approach to government, community
involvement, and dedicated leadership
make it an ideal testing ground. Already,
activities in the area have reduced the
fire danger to the community. Distances
have been measured and documented;
safe zones around homes are being cre-
ated by removing brush; forested areas
around the town are being monitored and
cleaned by Reinhold Corporation. There
will be an ongoing schedule of events,
starting with a meeting at Barrow's Hall
on January 31 in order to present the
program to the populace. It was noted
that active community participation could
have a positive impact on insurance pre-


miums in the future.
Sidewalks through the town along
Route 16 were discussed. Sidewalks
will be built and connected to present
sidewalks to meet current standards.
Sidewalks built on private property must
be maintained by the property owner,
whereas sidewalks built on town prop-
erty will be maintained by the town. The
Town Attorney is drafting a sidewalk
ordinance. The sidewalk along the golf
course will remain, and FDOT will build
a continuation to the edge of town. A tim-
ing traffic signal and improvements to
the, intersection of SR 16 and CR 218 are
up for bids and will be ahead of schedule.
A crosswalk will be installed in antici-
pation of development on the north side
of Route 16. Work may start on the in-
tersection as early as April and be com-
pleted by August.

classes," Mrs. Pangborn said. "You have
to be willing to make that commitment."
In addition to basic obedience com-
mands, they are expected to train Indy
to perform special skills, such as taking
objects in his mouth and holding them
on command. This is necessary because
a service dog must retrieve items for his
partner, such as keys that have fallen to
the floor or a telephone. Tug play is im-
portant as-a foundation for grabbing a
rope tied to a refrigerator handle to open


it. Touch training leads to Indy learning
how to turn switches on and off.
Proper socialization is important and
the Pangborns insist on good manners.
"We introduce him to different situations
such as concerts, stairs, parades, fire-
works, and grocery stores." In a'restau-
rant, Indy must lie still and quiet under the
table and he isn't allowed to pick up food
that may fall to the floor. Although fellow
diners may look askance, the Americans
With Disabilities Act requires public.plac-
es to admit service dogs, whether in train-
ing or on active duty. If Indy gets restless,'
as kids and puppies will, the Pangborns
will take him outside so the behavior will
not continue. "He's doing pretty good for
a five and a half month old puppy," Roger


Pangborn said.
While Indy and most of the other ser-
vice dogs from New Horizons are big,
strong Golden Retrievers or Labrador
Retrievers, size is not necessarily a re-
quirement. Smaller dogs can also perform
useful tasks such as picking up objects
and simply providing social support.
Raising Indy has kept the Pangborns
busy. "We take him everywhere we go. We
have met a lot of new people who stop and
talk. It's so much fun to walk into a gro-
cery store and see somebody with a sad
face and watch them smile. It's work but
it has been fun."
If he doesn't meet the full criteria, he
still can be a career dog.

Separate burglary rings undone, police say


Clay Today staff
GREEN COVE SPRINGS Eight Duval
County residents responsible for what po-
lice say are dozens of burglaries are in
custody in Clay County.
The unrelated arrests of five people in
one group of burglaries and three people
in another group were the result of weeks
of police work in one stance and the eagle
eye of a citizen who contacted the Sher-.
iff's Office about suspicious activity.
The first group of cases involves five
North Florida men who are charged with
committing a total of more than 50 bur-
glaries in Clay and nearby counties as
well as five burglaries in Indiana.
Seventeen cases in Clay County have
been connected to the men, according
to the Clay County Sheriff's office. Scott
Johnson. 33, and David Benton, 40, both
of Jacksonville, hnd Mike Stark, 33, of
Maxville, are each charged with armed
burglary; Matthew Elmendorf, 27, of
Jacksonville, burglary; and Richard Hed-
berg, 33, of Jacksonville, dealing in stolen
property.
Detectives also have connected the
men to 22 cases in Duval County, five in
both St. John's and Nassau counties and
five cases in Rush, Ind., the Sheriff's Of-
fice said. A total of 11 stolen firearms have
been recovered by detectives already-out
of the 30-40 guns believed stolen by the
group from various victims' homes, the
Sheriff's Office said.
Johnson also provided detectives with
key details about several Clay County rob-
beries because "he had a lot weighing on
his mind," according to an arrest report.
The second group of burglaries cen-


ters around three Jacksonville teenagers
captured near County Road 218 in Mid-
dleburg after receiving a suspicious ve-
hicle call, the Sheriff's office said. When
a deputy responded he encountered.the
first of three suspects leaving a wooded
area who attempted to enter a car parked
at the American Legion Post parking lot.
That led to CCSO K-9 units responding to
search the wooded area for the other two
suspects, who emerged from the woods
and were taken into custody by patrol
supvervisors.
Deputies believe the three burglars
targeted a family member's home in the
3900 block off County Road 218 and were
simply caught in the act, said Mary Jus-
tino, Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
"Thanks to the citizen's original call
and because of the deputy's quick re-
sponse the suspects were caught," Jus-
tino said. Stolen property was recovered
at the scene.
Justino said an investigation contin-
ues into what other crimes the trio may
have committed and Clay County is shar-
ing information with the Jacksonville
Sheriff's Office in case they can be con-
nected to incidents in Duval County.
When deputies arrested the men they
found nylons stockings in their pockets
and rubber gloves. Tracks in the mud
were followed to a nearby home where an
air conditioning unit was removed to gain
access to the garage and a double French
door was kicked open; the report says.
Charged with burglary were Michael Carl
Adams, 17, Bryan Jeffrey Lee Brooks, 1.9,
and Charles M. Smith, 18, according to
Sheriff's Office arrest reports.

Richard Hedberg Scott Johnson


Fitzgerald
FROM PAGE 1A

early Thursday morning.
In essence, the prosecution attempt-
ed to prove that Fitzgerald unlawfully
took for her own use some sandbags and
plywood belonging to the County and
also unlawfully used County employees
to work on her private property.
A number of witnesses, includ-
ing former County employees Walter
Searcy, Don Ingram and Steve Norman,
said they had either delivered sandbags
to her property or worked to ready it
for the impending stop.
Defense attorney Geddes D. Ander-
son moved for dismissal because the
circumstantial evidence presented did
not preclude a reasonable hypothesis
of innocence.
Judge Richard 0. Watson said he
would reserve judgment on the motion.
Anderson then worked to dem-
onstrate that, whatever actions took
place, they were not unlawful. The
basis for his contention was that,
at that time, the county was under a
declaration of local emergency which
altered what local governments could
and could not do.
Extraordinary steps were permitted,
Anderson said, to allow local govern-
ments. to provide for the safety of citizens
and property. This included the provision
of materials and labor, he said.
The declaration also provided the
basis for reimbursement of expenses
by the Federal Emergency Management
Administration (FEMA). At one point
Watson cautioned jurors that this trial


Bryan Brooks


Mattnew Elmendort


Charles Smith Michael Stark


was not about FEMA but was about the
unlawful taking of public property.
Several former county employees
testified that they had delivered sand-
bags to private property and one said
he had taken a front-end loader onto
private property and pushed over a tree
that was threatening a private home.
Two private citizens, Bernadette
Baigle and Elsinore Fresh, testified
that they had either gone with Fitzger-
ald to buy materials or had helped her
secure her home using materials from
Fresh's home next door.
Fresh also said that, after the storm
had passed and Fitzgerald was return-
ing the materials to her, Fitzgerald was
surprised to learn that the plywood
wasn't Fresh's.
Larry Lancaster, 16-year veteran
of the Board of County Commissioners,
testified it is common practice for.the
County's Code Enforcement to confis-
cate political signs illegally posted in
rights-of-way and that the plywood
from these signs is available for use.
Disaster Recovery Counselor Rob-
ert Patterson substantiated the con-
tention that the declaration gave local
governments extraordinary authority.
Prosecutors have indicated they
plan to try Fitzgerald individually on the
three remaining misdemeanor charges.
The trial was moved to St. Johns Coun-
ty after the defense requested a change
of venue.
Former Public Works Director Ar-
thur Ivey, indicted by the same grand
jury, is scheduled to go on trial in Feb-
ruary on felony theft and misdemean-
or charges resulting from the illegal
dumping scandal.

Leavell treats crowd to music, conservation views


Clay Today staff
GREEN COVE SPRINGS A crowd of
more than 3,500 people came out for the,
opening night of the North Florida Hunter
Jumper Association's Winter Series.
About 300 people also attended a re-
ception earlier in the day that featured
Chuck Leavell, the Rolling Stones' key-
boardist. Leavell spoke about his time
playing with The Stones and the Allman
Brothers but his focal point of the night
was his involvement with land manage-
ment in the southeastern United States,
particularly Georgia and Florida.
"Your land is your legacy..." said
Leavell, who later added, "This is your
land and this is your decision!"
After his speech, he entertained the
crowd with several early Stones' tunes
including "Route 66."
Local radio personality Arthur Crofton
was emcee for the reception.
Poor weather conditions stopped
Leavell from performing the national an-
them for the Winter Series' opening cer-
emony in the arena.
Sydney Olympics veteran Lauren
Hough of Wellington, Fla., partnered with
Casadora took on a field of 25 best of
the best in the show jumping world and
claimed victory as the only double clear
pair, winning the $75,000 Green Cove
Springs CSI-W Grand Prix presented by
Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club.
Riders represented the Olympics,
World Equestrian Games, PaffAm Games,


Samsung Super League
and, of course, World Cup
championships. All tak-
ing on last year's defend-
ing champion Olympic

"We couldn't have
asked for a more excit-
ing group of competi-
tors," said Weight, adding !
his "sincere gratitude to
Chuck Leavell for taking
time to speak about the |
conservation project...
and entertain us with his
music, too... It's been a
terrific first week."

Hildreth on League's

board of directors


By Aida Mallard
Correspondent
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS Mayor Mary Lou
Hildreth may be the first Keystone Heights
official to serve as a member of the North-
east Florida League of Cities (NEFLC) board
of directors.
Green Cove Springs Councilman Bob
Paige and Orange Park Town Manager John
Bowles also serve on the NEFLC Board of
Directors, which represents Clay, Baker,
Union, Bradford, Nassau, Duval, Putnam,
St. Johns and Flagler counties:
"I am truly honored to be chosen to
serve on the NEFLC Board of Directors,"
said Hildreth. "It is a microcosm of the
Florida League of Cities that focus on local
issues and how the Legislature in Tallahas-
see affects us as municipalities."
"It narrows down our particular region
of the state and the specific issues we face
as communities of Northeast Florida," con-
tinued Hildreth. "I have been blessed with
yet another opportunity to look out for the
best interests of Keystone Heights on a
much broader level."


Hildreth said the
NEFLC is a micro-
cosm of the Florida
League of Cities that
focuses on issues
that directly affect
this region.
"Whatever issues
that are unique to
Mayor Mary Lou Hildreth this area are looked
at on a regional level
then presented to the Florida League of Cit-
ies to make them aware of the individual
issues that affect our area that may not
be prevalent in, say, the Panhandle," said
Hildreth. "Obviously, I will bring any issues
that face Keystone to the forefront, as well
as Clay County."
"We (Hildreth, Bowles and Paige) would
'team up' on even further pinpointing issues
unique to Clay," continued Hildreth.
"As always, it is my desire to keep Key-
stone on the map to have the name rec-
ognition and input that is so important in
the decision-making process, whether it be
grant funding, legislative issues, or special
needs of our community."


Chuck Leavell belts out an early Stones' tune, Route 66.
The Jacksonville Winter Series contin-
ues through Feb. 10 with classes Wednes- (904)- 284-9492.

School Board opposes Jan. 29 tax amendment


By Greg Walsh
Managing Editor

ORANGE PARK Saying it faces the prospect
of losing more than $12 million in state funding
over five years, the Clay County School Board
formally spoke out against a proposed property
tax amendment going before voters Jan. 29.
Led by board member Charlie Van Zant
Jr., the board passed a resolution opposing
Amendment One, which is supported by Gov.
Charlie Crist and the Republican majority in
the state Legislature.
But many local government officials say
voter approval would mean severe cutbacks
in public services. And, although the amend-
ment official exempts school property taxes,
School Board members said the district ac-
tually would suffer financially.
Van Zant said the board needs to "take
a stand on this and tell people this is not a
good thing for public schools."
Van Zant said he is concerned that if the
amendment is passed south Florida resi-
dents will use their "portability" to purchase
homes in north Florida. Portability allows
property owners to carryover some tax sav-
ings from the sale of their home when they
purchase another home.
"We have no idea how many people in
south Florida who will move here and pay
$150,000 on a $300,000 home due to porta-
bility," he said.
Several ideas were discussed about get-
ting word out. Board members turned down
Van Zant's idea to use school district funds
to purchase newspaper advertisements but
they agreed to write letters and to have
Owens instruct administrators to post copies
of the resolution in all teacher break rooms.
Prior to the School Board meeting Van
Zant announced a Wednesday, Jan. 23,
press conference where the board would
stand with other local government officials
and unions representatives who also oppose
the amendment.
Representatives from Orange Park, Key-


Evolution
FROM PAGE 1A
The unanimous vote put Clay Coun-
ty with other Northeast Florida school
boards in Nassau and St. Johns County
on the record for opposing new state
Sunshine Standards o'r Science as
they are .proposed' The state board is
expected to vote. on the proposed new
standards next month.
Superintendent of Schools David
Owens said "I take 'full'responsibility"
for proposing the Clay County resolu -
tion, which caught several board mem-
bers by surprise.
"You read it as you read it," Owens
said in response to Wayne Bolla's
question of how the resolution came
before the board. "You either approve
it or you don't."
Board members stressed the vote
..would not alter evolutionary theories now
'taught in Clay County science classes.
In fact, several board members
expressed doubt the resolution would
even get the state board's attention. The
same issue was the subject of a State
Board of Education public hearing in
Jacksonville in early January.
Proponents of the revised state
standards urged the School Board not
to adopt the resolution. One of those
speakers was Ridgeview High School
science teacher David Campbell, who
served on the committee that revised
the standards.
"The standards you are looking at
are the result of more than eight months
of work of people ranging from middle
school and high school teachers up to
college professors. They have been re-
viewed by a Nobel Laureate," he said.
Campbell called the resolution "se-
riously flawed" and was circulated by
those who don't know science.
The new standards do not call evo-
lution a "fact" and instead call them the
"fundamental concept" that all science


stone Heights and.Green Cove Springs tenta-
tively agreed to attend. Also contacted were
the Fraternal Order of Police, both unions
representing school employees, the Clay
County Chamber of Commerce and firefight-
ers union.
Board Chairman Carol Studdard chas-
tised Van Zant for announcing the press con-
ference before bringing the proposal back to
the board.
"You've gone about it a little backwards,"
Studdard said.
Van Zant said he felt there was little time
to waste after the December board meeting,
especially when a tentative Jan. 10 public
hearing was cancelled.
"I didn't want to twiddle our. thumbs and,
do nothing," he said.
He apologized to Studdard, but then
added, "Sometimes you have to do what you
have to do."
Studdard turned down an opportunity
to read the School Board's resolution at the
press conference, saying Van Zant could do
it because he had set up the event.
School District budget director George
Copeland told board members funds lost if
the amendment passes would come on top of
projected cutbacks in state education fund-
ing due to sales tax shortfalls. Clay County.
saw $3.7 million in cuts this school year, he
said, and that figure could rise to $6 million
in 2008-09 if projections are correct.
The district also lost funds because it un-
derestimated the total enrollment in 2007-
08 by about 2 percent. Instead of about 400
students it was actually 800 students below
projections, he said.
Fewer students mean less state edtica-
tion funds. The district is projecting 1.5 per-
cent in the coming year.
In other business, the board:

is based on.
"We did our part by putting the best
science possible into the standards,"
Campbell said. "Science isn't Fox News.
Accurate content trounces fair and bal-
anced every time. These standards are
scientifically correct."
Another speaker was Alan Strickland
Williams, a 2004 RHS graduate from the
International Baccalaureate Program

Clay County teachers who received national certification were honored by the School Board Jan. 17.


Twenty-three Fleming Island High School students who passed the difficult Cambridge Scholar Awards
from Cambridge University received plaques from the School Board Jan. 17. Clay County had more stu-
dents pass the test than any other school district in the United States, school officials said.


Most parents expressed concern about the
Lake Asbury redistricting, necessary because
Shadowlawn Elementary is opening in August.
Mike Elliott, assistant superintendent of
support services, said it was impossible for
the district to meet its state-mandated con-
currency plan without busing some students
now within walking distance of. Lake Asbury
Elementary.


"Evolution is widely accepted within
the scientific 'ommunity as factual,"
said Horvath-Neimeyer, a UNF profes-
sor. "The Department of Education, in
reviewing the relevant facts, and the
consensus of the scientific community
has reached a similar conclusion. A
scientific education should reflect sci-
entific consensus."
Others opposing the resolution


The resolution adopted bhy he Clay County School Board reads:

Whereas, the Florida Department of Education has drafted and is now pro-.
posing new Sunshine State Standards for Science.,the Clay County'School Board
opposes the implementation of the new standards as currently presented.
Whereas, the new Sunshine State Standards for Science no longer present
evolution as theory but as "the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and
is supported in multiple forms of scientific evidence," we are requesting that the
State Board of Education direct gle Florida Department of Education to revise
the new Sunshine State Standards for Science so that evolution is clarified as a
theory,
Whereas, the Clay County School board recognizes the importance of providing
a thorough and comprehensive Science education to all the students in Clay Coun-
yB and to all students in the State of Florida, it recognizes as even more important
Ohe need to present these standards through a fair and balanced approach.
Now therefore, be it resolved, by the School Board of Clay County, Florida,
that the Board urges the State Board of Education to direct the Florida Depart-
ment of Education to revise the new Sunshine State Standards for Science such


that evolution is designated as a theory.


and former student of Campbell's.
The new standards are "incredibly
important to all students," Williams
said.
Another Clay County science teach-
er, Jana Kinder of Green Cove Springs,
said she was deeply disturbed by the.
board's resolution.
"This is a disservice to educators
and to our children," Kinder said. Al-
ternatives to evolution could be worth-
while to discuss, "but not in science
class... Keep politics and, yes, reli-
gion, out of this."
Paula Horvath-Neimeyer, a Keystone
Heights parent of two high school-age
sons, said several different scientific
fields confirm evolution is a fact.


ranged from a Baptist minister to a
Universalist Church member, both giv-
ing their own reasons for why passage
was a mistake.
Still others said weakening the stan-
dards would make Clay County look like
it doesn't care about education.
Passing the resolution would.show
"Clay County has become weak on edu-
cation," said Linda Campbell of Green
Cove Springs.
Only a few spoke in favor of passing
the resolution. Dr. Phillip Smuland of Green
.Cove Springs described Darwin's evolution-
ary theories outdated "dogma" that is now
contradicted by other theories.
The resolution was originally writ-
ten to say the new standards should be


One possible alternative was to bus stu-
dents living around Lake Asbury proper, but
staff opted to leave those homes unchanged
because they were the original reason why
the school was built.
The board discussed allowing some stu-
dents now going to Lake Asbury Elementary
SEE AMENDMENT, 31A


altered so evolution "is not presented
as a fact." But school board attorney
Bruce Bickner recommended revising
it because the new standards don't use
the word "fact" to describe evolution.
Bickner, said he believe the resolu-
tion was'legal and stayed within legal
boundaries presently set by federal
courts but it does, edge extremely
close to the accepted line, he said, be-
cause the resolution makes the average
person think offering a "fair and bal-
anced approach" would mean teaching
religion.
The debate showed none of the
emotion that dominated the famous
Scopes trial in Tennessee in 1926 when
a teacher was put on trial for teach-
ing evolution. Instead all the speakers
remained calm and kept the issue on a
collegial level.
The orderly discussion prompted
Studdard to say she appreciated every-
one for being courteous and well-man-
nered.
"Y'all were very polite," she said.
The resolution was originally in the
consent agenda generally minor items
often quickly dispatched at the begin-
ning of the meeting with a single vote.
But Bolla asked that the item be pulled
out for discussion.
Later he and Owens had a sharp
exchange when Bolla asked who was
reviewing the agenda before it was ap-
proved.
"I would ask that we do this (place
items on the agenda) by the numbers,"
said Bolla, who added there have been
one or two recent instances where items
were quickly slipped onto the agenda.
Owens responded, "You get one or
two and then suddenly we're slipping.
That's a bit of sarcasm. There could be
a better way to put that."
School Board President Carol Stud-
dard said she normally reviews the
agenda before it's sent out but this
month there was a snafu that delayed
the process.

District staff will take a poll of parents to
judge interest in such a move before formally
offering it to parents.
Other redistricting involved some homes
in OakLeaf Plantation due to the opening of
Oakleaf Village Elementary in August. Elliott
said he received no parents' comments on
that proposal.
About a dozen students living along
County Road 209 also will be affected by a

Learned the district can retrieve more
of its funds from a troubled state financial
pool used by many Florida school districts

district budget director, said Clay County can
retrieve about $12 million of its $46 million
still invested in one pool. The state has lim-
ited withdrawals to keep the fund afloat.
Coupled with $49 million in Wachovia
Bank accounts, the district should have suf-

he said.

Keystone, St. Johns, Ridgeview advance to district title game

Clay, Fleming Island, Orange
Park square off in semifinals

Randy Lefko
Correspondent
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS German exchange
student Maurice Godau played in his last
soccer game as the center midfielder for
the Keystone Heights High School Indians
and had nearly a dozen shots that came
oh so close to scoring.
Nonetheless, the lanky senior led the
Indians into the finals of the District 5-
3A championship game on Friday, Jan.
25 against defending champion Pierson
Taylor High with a 3-1 win over Crescent
City High School Tuesday night at Key-
stone Heights.
"I don't worry about who scores the
goals as long as we win the game." said


CORRSPONDENT PHOTOS BY RANDY LEFKO
Keystone's Maurice Godau is airborne and about to crash to the ground after tangling with Crescent City's goalie on a breakaway.


Indians senior captain Brad Gober breaks down-
field on offensive push during Indians District
5-3A semifinal win over Crescent City Tuesday
night. Gober scored two goals to give Indians
3-1 win.

Godau, who will return to his hometown of
Flenseburg, Germany on Thursday after
five months at Keystone. Heights and will
not play in the Friday title game. "I wish
I could stay to play and I will have some-
one here contact me with the team's play
through districts and regions."
For Keystone Heights, the first half
ended with the Indians up 1-0 after an
indirect kick was rifled past the Crescent
City goalie by senior Brad Gober with 4:25
left in the first half. Gober, a senior with
five years of varsity play for Keystone
Heights, said he has worked hard since-
missing the first half of the season due to
school disciplinary policy.
"I got in a little trouble, but I'm a se-
nior and I'm the one needed to fire the
team up," said Gober, who now has 16
goals in just the second half of the season.
"This team is young, but I think we are
just as competitive as the 2005 and 2006
teams that both lost in the region finals."
Gober scored on a second penalty kick
in the second half after Godau broke down

the center of the field and was fouled in
the goal box. Gober fired a line shot into
the upper left side of the goal to give the
Indians a 3-0 lead.
"He is very good at those kicks," said
Indians Coach Trevor Waters. "He has six
for the season."
Waters was strategic in the first half
of the game as the Indians seemed stymied
by Crescent City's outside attack. Halfway
through the first half, Waters abandoned
his traditional' coaching style to get more
ball movement from his team.
"We usually don't go for the long ball,
but play a set up and pass game to get
goals," Waters said. "I saw that Maurice
and Justin Branch, our two front offensive
guys, were faster than their defenders. I
had to keep yelling for our defenders to
send the ball long which we they are not
used to."
The Indians got their second goal from
senior striker Ryan Miller in the first two
minutes of the second half with a feed
from Godau to the right of the Crescent
City goalie.
"We will miss Maurice in the title
game, but someone will step in and have
to play his kind of game," said Waters.
Keystone Heights makes its sixth
straight trip to the district finals after a
1-0 loss to Pierson Taylor*last year. The
Indians won in 2006 with a win over Cres-
cent City.
The Indians sport a 10-11-2 sea-
son record and will face Pierson Taylor
at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at Keystone

At Keystone, the Lady Indians used
three first-half goals and a solid defensive
performance to help propel them to a 4-1
win over Pierson Taylor for the District
5-3A championship.
It was the second district champion-
ship for the Indians (12-7-2) in the past
three seasons and Keystone will now host
the Villages in a regional quarterfinal
match.
Both teams had several chances to
score in the first 15 minutes of the match,
but it was not until the 17th minute that
Keystone's Julie Campbell put the first
goal on the board. She was the recipient
of a perfectly lofted throw-in by Katie Mc-
Collum, which Campbell was able to re-
ceive directly in front of the goal.
A couple of free-kick opportunities led
to two goals for the Indians in the final
nine minutes of the half. Campbell sent
a high, arcing kick toward the goal that
ricocheted off the top post. Tysee Williams
was able to collect the rebound and put it
into the net in the 31st minute.
Two minutes later, Tori Beasley sent
a free kick into the net for a 3-0 lead and
Keystone was well on their way to the dis-
trict title.

Fleming Island softball player becomes first to sign college letter


By Horace Davis
Sports Writer

FLEMING ISLAND It all started four
years ago for senior Caitlin Bloom, as a
freshman she joined the Lady Eagles soft-
ball team and impressed many with her
knowledge and -knack for the game both
at the plate and -in the field, those attri-.
butes turned into a college scholarship to
Lake Sumter Community College in Lees-
burg on Friday, Jan. 18.
"Caitlin is a four-year starter and
what impressed me was how she handled
herself both on and off the field," said-
head coach Heather Schlictman.
Bloom, an infielder by trade made the
transition from middle school softball to
high school look relatively easy as she be-
came a team leader according to Schlict-
man, "She was one of our top offensive
and defensive players each year, she is a
career above .300 hitter and her defense

is always at a high level too."
"I am very excited and very much so


looking forward to playing softball at the
college level," said Bloom.


Also on hand for the signing was the
Lake Sumter head coach Kelly Golden
who said, "She came in for a tryout and
I took notice of her immediately. Caitlin
has a high skill level with great fielding
and hitting technique she knows how to
play the game."
The slick fielding third baseman that
also plays for travel ball team the Gaines-
ville Warriors and Coach Robert Atwood
who very instrumental in getting Bloom
to the tryout and helping in the recruiting
process according to Golden, "She found us
through Atwood and we are happy to get
her, we only have five returning players
and we are looking for freshman that will
be able to step right in and Caitlin is one
of those that should be able to help right
away expect to see her playing third or
shortstop because of her fielding skills."
The Fleming Island senior said she
plans to study psychology once enrolled.

Middleburg lefty slugger Leino signs with Daytona Beach


By Horace Davis
Sports Writer

MIDDLEBURG -As a freshman Brian Leino
turned heads, coaches and players alike
took notice when the freshman catcher/
designated hitter stepped to the plate and
with a quick flick of the wrists deposited
six balls over the outfield fence at Powers
Stadium on the Middleburg campus to lead
the team in dingers on Wednesday, Jan.
16 things came full circle as Leino signed
his name on the dotted line of a college let-
ter with Daytona Beach College.
The 5-foot-10, 196-pound Leino also
had offers from several community col-
leges including Lake City, St. Johns and
FCCJ, however, his choice not only came
down to the game of baseball but the se-
nior slugger said academics played a big
role in his choice to continue playing the
game he loves with passion, "Daytona
Beach has a great baseball program like
the others but the overriding factor in my
choice was the academic side of things,
they had several players on the team that
finished with a 3.0 GPA or higher."
In fact, the Falcons baseball team was
recently honored by the NJCAA as the 2006-
2007 Baseball National Academic Team of
The Year, the Falcon baseball team contin-
ues to set high marks in the classroom as
Falcon players finished the 2007 fall semes-
ter with a team GPA of 3.52, with over 20
team members posting a 3.0 or higher.
The four-year starter for the Broncos
made an impact right away and then as-
sistant coach Alan Burnsed who is going
into his secon-d year as head coach said,
"That first year for Brian we knew right
away that he could and would make an
-impact, he has the some of the quickest
hands we've ever had."
At the time of Leino's rise to the varsity
team another good catcher was ahead of
him on the depth chart in. Trey Cherry, so
Leino started as a designated hitter while
learning his trade behind the plate but when
stepping into the batters box pitchers knew
the damage he could do, "Trey (Cherry) was
another good catcher but when he gradu-
ated and Brian became the fulltime catcher
- we did not miss a beat,' added Burnsed.
Leino who.has plans of becoming a


dentist one day but feels he some unchar-
tered waters to sail before putting on the
white doctor's jacket said, "My hope one
day is to become a dentist but before that
day comes my dream is to get drafted by a
major league team or go on to a university
and continue to follow my dreams."


Typically catchers aren't the fastest

Golden Eagles knock district rival from unbeaten ranks


Free throws down stretch
seals Fleming Island win

Randy Lefko
Correspondent
ORANGE PARK Fleming Island's boys
basketball team hit 17 of 22 free throws'
in the final six minutes of play to beat pre-
viously undefeated defending 3-5A district
champion Robert E. Lee 59-51 last week
at Fleming Island High School. Lee came
to the Fleming Island gym with a 13-0
record which included a three point pre-
season win over 6A Orange Park who now
sports an 18-1 season record.
"This is by far our biggest win as a
program," said Fleming Island Head
Coach Ivin Gunder. "We had a team meet-
ing the day before the game with both the
junior varsity and varsity teams to discus


where I wanted the program to be and
where we actually were. I asked them if
they just wanted to play or did they want
to compete against one of the best teams
in the state. This is a great springboard
with districts coming up in two weeks."
For Lee Coach Steven Jenkins, the
Fleming Island gymnasium has offered
bad omens for the Generals that started
with a loss last year.
"They have always had good perimeter
shooting and they just outplayed us," said
Jenkins, who guided the Generals to the
5A Final Four before losing to runnerup
Lakewood High School. "We lost our point
guard early in the game to an ankle, injury
and I'think it threw our guys off. It is what
it is though and I think we needed a little
deflating before hitting the districts."
The Golden Eagles attack, a slow, pa-
tient offense that waited for an open shot,
got off to a fast start in the first quarter

with guard Bretton Woods
hitting 2 three-pointers
for eight points to put the
Fleming Island offense in
the driver seat after a mon-
ster dunk by Lee center Alex
Smith. Fleming Island would
hold a 17-16 first quarter
lead. Woods finished with
16 points for the game.
Gunder commended
center Andrew Hamilton's
effort under the boards as
the wily veteran battled
Lee's 6-foot-5 Smith for re-
bounds that gave the Golden
Eagles second and third
shots. Hamilton also added
eight points.
"We got ahead of them
quickly, but they are a good,
fast team that can run the
table," said Gunder. "We
kept our composure for the
whole game. Andrew domi-
nated under the boards and
that was a big key for us."
Gunder's slow-down
strategy kept the Lee attack
at bay as both teams scored
just nine second quarter
points to leave the gym at
halftime with just a point
deficit for Fleming Island.
In the third quarter,
Woods counterpart at


guard, Will Frey, got the hot
hand with 2 three-pointers
and a couple of free throws

Girls district tournament to get underway


By Horace Davis
Sports Writer
ORANGE PARK Following a long season
of jockeying for district tournament posi-
tioning the girls district basketball second
season called the district tournament is
set to get underway beginning Jan. 28 and
several county teams will be looking to ad-
vance to regional play by winning or simply
making it to the championship game.
The Lady Raiders ruled District 1-6A
by going undefeated in the district and an
overall record of 18-3 as they shellacked
Nease 70-30 on Tuesday night.
Head coach Mandi Matrichardi in her
first year at the helm has the Raiders
pressuring all over the floor and Stepha-


nie Kindel came alive to score 19 points
in the win over Nease and the Raiders are
odds on favorites to come out the district
and enter regional action.
In District 3-5A head coach Kim
Pereira is hoping for five-ball action from
her team as they moved up a notch in the
district seeding by knocking off Wolfson at
home last week.
In that win, Pereira got what she
wanted as starters Kelsi Worthy (7), Brit-
tany Lewis (5), Bryce Thomas, Kelsey
Branz and Olivia Drew (all four points
each in the 1st half) led the Eagles to 31-
15 halftime lead.
In their latest win, a 48-47 SJRCC vic-
tory over Menendez Brittany Lewis was
on fire from behind the arc as she drilled

Head coach Del Thornton and his Lady

and will open up with Baker County; Mid-

season and senior Meghan Poupard led

Aplin shines for the South All-Stars in Shrine Bowl
Fleming Island QB named MVP
after top notch performance
By Horace Davis
Sports Writer
JACKSONVILLE Fleming Island quarter-
back Ryan Aplin is a perfect example of
the purpose of the annual Shrine game,
helping expose players who are not get-
ting much attention from colleges, but
after an MVP performance at the 19th
annual Shrine Game his stock maybe on
the rise.
The senior QB had a standout per-
formance by completing 12 of 22 passes
for 171 yards and two touchdowns which
earned him the South MVP as he easily
picked apart the North defense to lead
his team to a 21-6 win at Mandarin-High
School.
"Ryan had a great first half and re-
ally set the tempo of what we wanted to
accomplish," said assistant coach Derek
Chipoletti who served as a coach for the
South team.
Holding offers from just a few schools,
Aplin hoped his performance in the Shrine
Bowl game was good enough to spark
some more attention and he may have ac-
complished just that, 'It was fun to be out
there on the field with all that talent and
since the game I have received a few calls
from schools such as Arkansas State, Sa-
vannah State and Charleston Southern."


STAFF PHOTOS BY HORACE DAVIS
South All-Star MVP Ryan Aplin delivers a pass in
first half action at the Shrine Bowl.


However, the playing conditions
changed over the final 24 minutes as
Mother Nature let loose with a down pour
that madefor very sloppy conditions and
the second half as expected was filled
with turnover after turnover (five) as both
teams had a hard time holding onto the
ball and getting any traction on the field.
Along with Aplin and Talley other Clay
County players made impacts too, re-
ceivers Riley Hill (Ridgeview) and Chase
Weiskopf (Middleburg) had first down re-
ceptions, running backs Quinton Battle
(Clay) and Greg Taylor (Keystone) each
had a big runs out of the backfield and
athlete Makensy Gede (Middleburg) had-
five catches.
Chipoletti summed up the experience
of coaching at the Shrine Game for the
first time with words of encouragement
for the players and coaches around the
county stating, "I really have come to un-
derstand why each and everyone of the
kids selected are All-Stars, it was a great
experience and I could not be more proud
of the county kids who represented their
schools very well hot only on the field but
off the field too a lot of credit goes to
all the coaches around the county, they
should be very proud."

North team.


said Aplin.
This past season, Aplin (652 rushing
and 15 TD, 2359 passing, 17 TD) helped
his Eagles team earn their first ever dis-
trict championship, first ever playoff berth
and playoff win with wins over Lake How-
ell and Mainland before falling to Bartram
Trail in the Class 5A Elite Eight..
His coaches at Fleming Island were
also hopeful Aplin's performance caught
someone's attention also; recently an
offer from Eastern Illinois was pulled off
the table this week after he did not com-,
mit during his visit but more interest has
come from Middle Tennessee State, Loui-
siana Lafayette, and Campbell in addition
to the others.
Aplin's 8-yard pass to Xavier Zayas
gave the South an early 7-3 lead after
twice converting two key third down plays
including a 26-yard completion to Deron
Talley (Orange Park) and a 29-yard com-
pletion to Zayas.


His clutch passing on third down
proved to be the key point of the game as
Aplin converted seven first downs on third
and long.
Under heavy pressure, Aplin avoided
the sack and found Jordan Anderson wide
open for a 32-yard gain leading to the
South's second score as Aplin two plays
later hit Anderson for a 3-yard score and
14-3 lead.
Just before half, Aplin found Talley
for a 20-yard gain and Riley Hill (Rid-
geview) for an 11-yard gain before the
drive stalled at the 37-yard line forcing'
the South's lone punt of the game.
Aplin was not the only South star to
shine as Orange Park speedster Deron
Talley opened the second half with a bang
by returning the second half kickoff 81
yards up the middle and down the right
sideline for a score increasing the lead to
21-3 just sixteen seconds into the second
half..

BASS kicked off the Southern Open
Series with a bass tournament in Pal-
atka. Plenty of locals got to try their
hand against some of the nation's best
touring pros. Lee Stalvey and Bryan
Hudgins represented Clay County among
the top 10 pros, finishing 2nd and 6th,
respectively. But Tony Haymon of Pen-
ney Farms won the co-angler division
outright.
A gracious champion, Haymon cred-
ited his pro partners with an assist. Over
three tough days he bagged 24 pounds, 4
ounces of bass. On the final day he hoisted
the big bass of the day, of the week actu-
ally, in the co-angler division at 7 pounds,
9 ounces.
Haymon won a fully rigged Triton bass
boat valued at $32,000 which he gladly
accepted though, he admitted he already
has one boat at home.
Peter 'T' Thliveros was the champion
on the pro side. He has amassed over
$1,500,000 while crossing the country
on the Bassmaster Tournament trail over
the past 26 years. 'Peter T', has also
cashed a quarter-million-dollar paycheck
on two occasions. A win at the Open level
(viewed by many as bass fishing's ver-
sion of AAA baseball) has eluded him
- until now. "I can win the big ones. Now
I proved I can win the Opens as well. It's
fun to win any tournament, no matter
the size of the paycheck, but it is really
special to me to do it here at home," said
the Jacksonville native who now resides
near St Augustine.
Thliveros stunned the crowd gath-
ered in. Palatka, and the many watching
via streaming internet coverage, with a
whopping 26 pounds of St Johns River
bass on Saturday. He won $50,000 with
a total of 55-03 over three days.
Thliveros relied on spots he fished
a decade ago. "I haven't competed on
this river in ten years," he said. "And

Penny Farms resident Tony Haymon was the top co-
angler at the recent bass tournament in Palatka.

I found that the spots-where we used

to spots that have always produced for
me."
In addition to proven locations, he
also relied on an old bait he used to
throw on the river the Milo, once made
by Allen Lures. "I caught them on a bait
that's not even made anymore. It is a 1-
ounce lure similar to a Hot Spot. It was
made and sold here locally. I am sure
there are some itn tackle boxes around
here and I'd like to get my hands on
some." Ebay, anyone? He dragged the

Springs among those. The sight fishing

made a strong final run at the leader-
board with a 22-pound limit that pushed
his week-long total to 51-05.
As usual, Salt Springs Run provided
a warm refuge for fish and fishermen.
Alabama FLW Tour pro, Greg Pugh, spent
the week in there with Stalvey. "I couldn't
believe how few people there .were in

diation does not result in a settlement. The
