Homeless
camp found
at Rawlings
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF MTUTER
A camp found last week in the woods behind
Rawlings Elementary School has deputies looking
out for a homeless woman whom school officials
fear may be trying to contact her son, who attends
Rawlings.
Items found at the camp were thrown into a
dumpster by St. Johns County' deputies, who were
given copies of a judge's order barring the woman
from contacting her children, according to a police
report.
Evidence of a camp was found about 50 feet
from the student entrance to the Rawlrigs play-
ground,. according to the report.
A deputy was called to the school Jan. 23 after
someone at the school found a duffle bag contain-
ing clothes behind the school. The deputy found a
transient camp and threw the bag into a dumpster,
according to the report.
Deputies found no one at the camp site but sus-
pect that a woman who may be trying to contact
her son, a Rawlings student, lives there, according
to the police report.
The woman lost custody of both of her two chil-
dren and a court order prohibits her from contact-
ing them, according to the report.
But the order, which was issued in Duval

County, is a civil order unenforceable by police,
according to Sgt. Yvonne Rickards with the St.
Johns County Sheriff's Office.
"This order gives us no arrest powers," Rickards
said Tuesday. "It's basically a piece of paper."
For deputies to enforce the order, Rickards said,
the person with primary custody of the children
would have to go to court and tell a judge the
order was violated.
If the judge issues a warrant for arrest, deputies
can act, she said.
An after-school employee at Rawlings told
deputies a woman was in the school's front office
about 6:15 p.m. Jan. 23 asking about a duffle bag
full of clothes. The employee said she didn't know
about a bag, and the woman left, according to the
report.
The next morning, another deputy, along with
Rawlings custodian John Bernard, located a camp
behind the school.'
At the request of the Rawlings administration,
the deputy threw away the items at the site,
including three plastic bags filled with hygiene
items, a laundry basket filled with school planners
and teaching aids, and several religious items,
including a rosary.
Officers were asked by a School District official
to arrest the woman for trespassing if she returned

How do you spell "winner" if
you're competing in the Rawlings
Elementary School spelling bee?
S-t-a-m-a-t-o-g-i-a-n-n-a-k-i-s.
Anna Stamatogiannakis, no new-
comer to the art of putting letters
together in their proper order, was
the last speller standing on stage at
Rawlings Friday afternoon.
With two of the original 10 fifth
grade contestants remaining, Daelen
Eiberger was stumped by
"escapade," putting Anna in striking
position.
She breezed by "escapade" then
finished with the final word -
"devotee," to take the title of the
2006 Rawlings spelling champ.
Anna's mother, Alice
Stamatogiannakis, said the challenge
of their surname has helped make
Anna "so good at spelling."
Not much time could be devoted
at home to help Anna prepare for
the Rawlings spelling bee, the moth-
er said.
"We've got four kids, so we don't
have too much time," said the

mother, who was beaming after
Anna won.
"It's just natural. She's pretty
good," Anna's mother said. "We're
all pretty good spellers," she said,
referring to the Stamatogiannakis
family. *
After six rounds of competition in
the Rawlings cafetorium, where their
classmates watched and listened
from their seated positions on the
floor, three spellers remained: Anna,
Daelen and Lexi Panczvkowski,
whose family name is three letters
shorter than the winner's.
Anna heaUs next to the St. Johns
County spelling bee, which will be
held at the School Board office at 9
a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15.
There she'll compete with fifth-
graders through eighth-graders, each
representing a St. Johns County' pub-
lic elementary or middle school, as
well as the champions of private
schools in the county'.
"The pressure mounts a little bit,"
said Judith Thayer, Rawlings assis-
tant principal. "It's a tough thing,
but the children do enjoy it."

S TAF WRITER
Circuit Judge John Alexander
ordered 36-year-old Leslie
Demeniuk to serve two consecu-
tive life sentences without parole
Friday for the murder of her twin
sons in Ponte Vedra in 2001.
Handcuffed at the wrist and
ankles and standing before the
judge, Demeniuk showed no
reaction when the sentence was
announced.
Demeniuk was convicted last
month of two counts of first
degree murder in the March 17,
2001, deaths of 4-year-olds John
and James., Both boys were shot
in the head-... -.
Alexander handed down the
sentences after listening to state-
ments from Tommy Demeniuk,
the boys' father, and his sister
Debbie.
Leslie and Tommy Demeniuk
were getting a divorce when the
boys were killed.
"My last words to them were
that I love them," Tommy
Demeniuk told the judge as he
fought back tears.
Flipping through the pages of
his statement, Demeniuk talked
about his memories of time
spent with his sons and
described their infectious, light-
hearted personalities.
"Johnny and Jamie loved to
laugh, and they would light up
the room wherever they went,"
he said.
Johnny was born first,
Demeniuk told the judge, and
Jamie came 11 minutes later.
The father said that Johnny.
suffered a few complications in.
his first fet' hours of life and that'
he held his son's tiny hand dur-
ing the ordeal.
"1I felt like my touch made a
difference," he said.
Jamie was more of the "tough
guy" and would always convince
Johnny to gang up on their dad
in a wrestling match, Demeniuk
said.
But one of them was always
careful to rerhove their father's
glasses so as not to break them,
he said.
One of the boys' favorite activ-
ities was -reading a book right
before- bedtime, the father-said.
Their favorite was -'Good Night
Moon," and they had it "memo-
rized word for word," he said.
He said the boys had just
caught their first fish with their
dad before they were killed, and
he had also bought them a
puppy named Buddy.
When he found out about
their deaths, Demeniuk said,
"My heart dropped, my spirit
broke and emptiness consumed
me."
Describing his life since the
day his sons were killed,
Demeniuk said he often hears
people talking about their chil-
dren and wishes he could partic-
ipate in the conversations.
He said he sometimes dreams
that the boys are still alive.

Frisbee golf course
OK'd for Hanna Park
FROM STAFF
A plan to construct a 9-hole
Frisbee golf course at Hanna
Park near Atlantic Beach was
given the OK last week by the
Jacksonville City Council.
The course will be built by
Orbital Enhancements
Association at no cost to the
city.
The company approached
the city of Jacksonville with
the idea for the Frisbee course,
according to a spokesman for
the city. The two sides had dis-
cussions for abp ta yea ,he
spokesman said.. ,. ,U
"We thought that'a 16o of
folks that visit Hanna Park
would like this and that it
would benefit the park users,"'
said Pam Wilson, a city
spokesman.
She said a Frisbee golf course
for Hanna Park has been
requested by park users in the
past.
Construction is expected to
begin in early spring, she said.
The course will be located in'
a field area near the lake in the
park, located at 500
Wonderwood Drive.
Frisbee golf, also known as
disc golf, is similar to tradition-
al golf in that players try to get
an object in a hole on the
course.

Sentence: 2 life terms
Cont. from A-1
When he wakes from such a
dream, he said, he tries to fall
back asleep quickly to recap-
ture their images.
He also told Alexander about
his guilt surrounding the
deaths of the boys.
When Johnny was killed, he
was clutching a toy figurine
that reminded him of his
father.
"I often wonder if he
[Johnny] hoped I was there to
rescue hih," Demeniuk told
the judge.
Before returning to his seat,
Demeniuk handed Alexander
one of the last pictures taken of
the boys smiling next to their
father.
"I will never see them off to
their first day of school," he
told the judge.
"They'll never have a new
favorite book. They will never
go on a date, fall in love or get
married."
Leslie Demeniuk's attorney,
Bill Sheppard, objected to con-
secutive sentences, saying, "A
life sentence is a life sentence."
He asked that Demeniuk be
allowed to serve the two sen-
tences concurrently.
Because the state was not
seeking the death penalty, the
only possible sentence was life
without parole.
"The court finds that' these
are separate counts and
required separate reflection,"
Alexander said.
Demeniuk's attorneys tried
to convince the six-member
jury that their client was
insane when she shot her sons
in her father's Sawgrass condo-
minium.
But the jury rejected the
claims that antidepressant
medication and alcohol
prompted her to kill the boys.

Anna said she .has always

"That's what my teacher
says," she added.
With her classmates sur-
rounding her after the compe-
tition, Anna was asked, "How
,do you feel about winning the
Rawlings spelling bee?"
"Great," she responded, smil-
ing broadly.
"Do you think you can win
the county spelling bee?"
"Maybe."
The Scripps-Howard Spelling
Bee began in 1925. Since its
inception, there have been 39
male winners and 42 female.
Some 10 million students par-

STAFF WRITER
The Jacksonville Beach
Police Department has cleared
an officer of alleged miscon-
duct after a former City
Councilman complained about
the officer drawing a weapon
during a routine traffic stop.
Mitch Kinsey, who is retired
from the Jacksonville Sheriff's
Office and a former
Jacksonville Beach Councilor,
complained to Officer Shane
Watson's supervisors that the
officer unnecessarily pulled out
a firearm after Kinsey refused
orders to remain in his vehicle
at a routine traffic stop.
Kinsey was stopped at 10
p.m. Jan. 20 at Fairway Lane
and Seabreeze Avenue for driv-
ing 15 mph above the posted
speed limit and failing to stop,
at a stop sign en route to an
alarm at his condominium,
according to a police report.
A departmental complaint,
generated by police after the
incident, also cleared Watson
of lying about Kinsey running
the stop sign.
The final review and report
were signed off Jan. 26 by
Police Chief Bruce Thomason.
Watson said he ordered
Kinsey to remain in his vehi-
cle, believing that he might be
an escape risk. Kinsey opened
the driver's door and was
observed reaching around his
back with his right hand,
prompting Watson to draw his
weapon for protection, accord'
ing to the report.'
"Officer Watson drew his
weapon in response to a per-
ceived threat. Mr. Kinsey's
furtive movement of reaching
behind his back was substan-
tial justification for Officer
Watson to pull his weapon in
preparation for an imminent
assault," note the findings of
the investigation.
"I would expect any officer
confronted with a similar set of
circumstances to react in the

Under the proposal, class
size mandates would apply
on a districtwide basis, aver-,
aging all classes together,
Hasner said.
For each classroom, it
would also place a maximum"
cap of five students above
each size mandate, he said.
According to Joe Pickens,
another cosponsor, the plan
would also allow team-teach-
ing a topic that has led to a
lawsuit in Duval County.

said, it was not proper protocol
during a traffic violation, the
report states.
"You must be a damn rookie.
Put your damn gun away,"
Kinsey screamed at Watson
before producing a retired offi-
cer's badge issued by the JSO,
the report states "You ... idiot.
I'm retired JSO. I'm Mitch
Kinsey."
According to the, narrative
included in the investigation,
Kinsey continued to berate
Watson and threatened to call
City Manager George Forbes
and have Watson fired.
"Based upon all the facts
gathered for this Departmental
Complaint Report, I find no
evidence to support any of Mr.
Kinsey's claims of improper
actions by Officer Watson," the
report notes.
Watson offered Kinsey the
opportunity to talk to
Thomason if he was not satis-
fied with the department's per-
formance but Kinsey declined,
also extending an expletive
toward the police chief.
Cdr. Gene Paul Smith, who
also responded to the scene,
jokingly asked if Watson had
stopped a city council member
when he heard Watson's
request for a supervisor.
Smith said Kinsey 'ques-
tioned his presence at the
scene and complained that he
just "wanted to be treated like
everybody else."
Smith said he called Forbes
to "give him a heads up imme-
diately about what had hap-
pened." During the call,. Kinsey
announced he had already
talked to Mayor Fland Sharp.
Sharp Tuesday said he
received a message from Kinsey
but he did not allude' to the
reason for his call. He said he
did not condone special favors
for any past or present elected
official.
"My personal policy has
always been if I get stopped
whether it's for jaywalking or
speeding, I am supposed to be
treated just like everyone else,"
Sharp said. "That's not the way
we do business.We still have to
abide by the law. We still have
to abide by the law."
Sharp said he has received
two tickets during his tenure as
an elected official and the offi-
cers, who did not recognize
him, were courteous and,
polite.
"That's what I expect from
all of our guys," ,he said. "I
don't like to get traffic, tickets
but as long as I am treated well,
there is no heartburn involved.
Everything's good."
Kinsey received, two traffic
citations for going 40 mph in a
posted 25 mph zone and fail-
ing to stop at the stop sign at
Seabreeze Avenue and Fairway
Lane.
"The message is if you get a
traffic ticket, don't call the
mayor," Sharp said. "I can't do
anything about it and I won't
do anything about it."
Kinsey Tuesday said in a
telephone interview that he is
still shocked that Watson
pulled a gun during a traffic
violation but expected a subse-
quent report because an officer
must be able to prove his
actions, were justified if a
weapon is drawn.
"I said 'would you put that
pistol up before someone gets
hurt.' He .said he felt threat-
ened but I don't care what he
says. ; He's covering his
behind," he said.
He questioned, however,
Why. the police" department
would launch an investigation
without his input.,
"It bothers me that no one
bothered to ask me anything to
do this investigation," he said.
"I told [Sgt. Robert] Bacon] that
I would call him back if I want-
ed to file a complaint and I
never did. I am 57 years old
and I have never filed a com-
plaint on a police officer."
Kinsey said he is also upset at
the allegations that he used
foul language during the traffic
stop.
"Talk to anyone who knows
me. I don't cuss, period," he
said. "That's what is so absurd
about this. I don't talk like
that."
Kinsey said he may file a
complaint in the future but
does not expect a different out-
come.
"Those guys are going to
stick up for each other. I know
how that works. I was one for a
long time," he said.
dent class, according to
Pickens.
By focusing on student-
teacher ratios instead of stu-.
dent-classroom ratios, the
new. proposal would allow
team teaching, which many
districts use, Pickens said.
"I think it's probably more
important how much money
you're spending per student
in a class than how many stu-.
dents are in that class,"
Pickens said.
Pickens said he is very opti-
mistic about the resolution
and fully expects it to pass

Fehllhg said' official 'with

Hasner confirmed that
some details in the resolution

vide some flexibility on

He said school districts that
spend less than 65 percent in
classrooms will be allowed to
increase funding by 2 percent
each year until 2010.
Every school district can
also apply for a waiver, which
will be considered by the gov-

More letters to the editor:
Subdividing can help
reduce home prices
To the editor:
What does "affordable hous-
ing" mean? Affordable in New
York is different from afford-
able in Jacksonville. To me it
means either you can afford
the neighborhood or you can't.
To most of us, this would mean
that Manhattan does not have
"affordable housing"; neither
does Malibu or Santa Barbara.
With no more vacant land at
the beach, some property own-
ers are looking at subdividing
larger lots. If there is an excep-
tionally large lot that can rea-
sonably accommodate two or
three houses instead of one,
this will not only provide more
housing, but the housing will
be more affordable. Perhaps
three homes priced at
$400,000 could be built instead
of one home priced at $1 mil-
lion +.
We saw what happened
when one Atlantic Beach prop-:
erty owner dared to "destroy
the character" of the neighbor-
hood by trying to subdivide
her land. The same people who
lament the increase in housing
prices are the same ones who
do not want people to be able
to subdivide their property. I
guess "keeping the character"
of the neighborhood means
larger lots with more expensive
homes. This does not exactly
mesh with their calls for
"affordable housing".
If the character bf the neigh-,
borhood is that important,
then they should make the
owner a reasonable* offer to
purchase the property so that
they can manage it as they see
fit. But until they start paying
the mortgage and property
taxes, they have no say in how
it should be sold.

Push again for a high school at Mickler's
To the editor:
Now is.the time for all Ponte Vedra res-
idents to get involved with their future'
high school. If you attended the recent
meeting at Landrum Middle School on
Jan. 19, 2006, you heard [Schools super-
intendent Joseph] Dr. Joyner admit that
originally, he, the St. Johns County
School Board members, and the Ponte
Vedra High School Site Selection
Committee were all in agreement that the.
Guana site, now referred to as the Mickler
Road site, was the best site for the pro-.
posed new high school. He explained
that he changed his direction and began
to pursue the Talbots site after he received
signals from Tallahassee that the gover-
nor would not look' favorably on the
release of the Mickler Road site for the
new high school and the Tournament
Players Championship organization
advised that the TPC parking site was not
for sale.
Yes, the Mickler Road site may have.
appeared to be a difficult site to obtain,
however, we all know that the "best"
course of action is often the more difficult
course to pursue, but the rewards are fre-
quently worth the effort. Without revis-
iting the obvious reasons why the Mickler
Road site is superior to the Talbots site, I
find it most difficult to understand why:
we as a community would not want to
pursue the "best" site for the new high
school to the bitter end, and why we
would be willing to settle for a much infe-
rior site. I also don't understand why
those charged with the responsibility for
finding the "best" site for the high school
would fail to pursue the "best" site until
every avenue to obtain that land has been
explored, every effort has been exhausted
and the Governor has officially and pub-
licly denied our request for the land that
would best serve our community's chil-
dren.
Do you really think the Governor
would say no to the Mickler Road site if
he had the facts presented to him and he
had to make a decision for the good of
our Community? [ for one do not think
the Governor would say no to the people
of Ponte Vedra if he learned all the facts
from our public officials and he heard the
voice of a umted 'Ponte Vedra
Community.
Bill Smedberg and others continue to
try to awaken our community to the
grave mistake that will, be made if we
don't go after the Mickler Road site for
the new high school immediately. In
fact, it appears at this point in time that
we are destined to either end up with'a
huge facility on inadequate acreage next
'to an overburdened lhghway or we will
get a high school located across the
Intracoastal Waterway in another com-
munity; or we can direct our united
attention to the Mickler Road site.
I believe the ball has been dropped and
valuable time has been wasted. Let us not
continue to drop the ball by letting
another day pass without getting person-
ally involved. It's time, for everyone to
visit the three proposed sites and see for
themselves what is being debated. Get
the facts and make up your own mind.
Then, let your elected and other public
servants, from the School Superintendent
to the Governor, know that you want the
"best" site for the new Ponte Vedra High
School and will accept nothing less.
It is time for each of us to let those
responsible know exactly how we feel on
this issue and what we expect them to do
for our community and the local chil-
dren. Yes, call and write Dr. Joyner, the
school board members, your county com-
missioner, your state representative and
senator, and the Governor. Remember,
you are paying their salaries, and our
local and state officials are in office to
serve us, the people.. Their decisions must
be made for the greater public good. Let
them know what you expect from them
so they clearly see the direction they must
take. Please get involved now to assure
the children of Ponte Vedra, get the new
high school they deserve.

Class gets nature lesson
by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
,Muddy hands and big smiles were the'
order of the day Friday as Penny
Kennedy's kindergartners at Ocean Palms
Elementary School made their own ver-
sions of a bird nest.
The creation, of the bird nests, done
outside the school on Landrum Lane, was
the culmination of a lesson given by vol-
unteer Patti Gustafson.
Gustafson showed the 16 youngsters
different kinds of nests as they sat in
Kennedy's classroom.
She used pictures of nests in books and
real-life examples of nests. She also
showed the youngsters what ingredients
the birds use to make their shelters.
The students then took what they had
learned and went outside, where the
ingredients for a child-made bird nest
were set up.
First, there was the mud big bowls of
gooey, gloppy mud that coated 32 little
hands as they worked to make 16 bird-
nest bases on strong paper plates.'
There were many' smiles as the kihder-
gartners got their hands dirty in the pur-
suit of knowledge.
Then, into the mud bases went differ-
ent configurations of grass, cotton bat-
ting and other nesting material.
After the nests were done, the students
were asked what bird might be expected
to make their creations a home.
Martine Gelb had made a robin's nest,
Kerin Kearolewicz's was for a blue jay.
Vanessa Regan had also made a blue jay's
nest, while Alyssa McClintock's was for a
cardinal.
"One of the advantages in the way Ms.
Kennedy chooses to teaches she uses
nature and she teaches through the envi-
ronment," Gustafson said.
"She teaches a lot of the concepts that
are required by the School District, but
she uses nature to teach them. She uses a
garden to help the children understand
the concept of measuring and math."
The kindergarten garden at Ocean '
Palms Elementary is funded by the Ponte.
Vedra Public Education Foundation. Eagle
Scout candidates have improved the gar-
den, using the work they have done for
their Eagle project.
"She has a wonderful way of,letting the
children spend time with activities,
rather than forcing them to run through
it," Gustafson said of Kennedy.

Linda Bernard of Ponte Vedra Beach organized and hosted this year's annual Spam Cook-Off Party, which she dubs "the social
event of the year." .
Spami Cook-off has company's blessing
OywV^ ^UUI\U// iC43 tl~r/^~ib 3 LY^3H
by KATHY NICOLETTI
'COLUMNIST
P onte Vedra resident Linda
Bernard organizes an
annual event that she
says with a smile is "the Social
Event of the Year."
Palm Valley Baptist
Church's Spam Cook-Off is a
party designed just for the fun
and the fel-
lowship of
spending an
evening with
friends.
Bernard's
inspiration
was a Spam in
Party given by
a friend from
a church she previously,.
attended. Changing the idea a
little bit, Bernard decided a
cook-off using the canned
meat product would be a great
Way to get people together.
More than 10 years later,
Bernard-'and her husband,.
John, enjoy the event as
much as when they started.
This is true despite the fact
that Spam is not on the menu
at their house many other
times during the year.
Bernard admits that there is
some "whining and complain-
ing" from the congregation
when plans for the cook-off
are announced every year.
Before long, however, peo-.
ple get caught up in the quest
for a suitable recipe to enter
in the competition.
According to Bernard's
"Spam Rules," each dish sub-
mitted for judging must have
Spam as an ingredient to be
eligible. Entrants can choose
from five categories: appetizer,
salad, vegetable, main dish,
and dessert.
The competitive spirit runs
high and people plan weeks in
advance to have a suitable
recipe. With a little imagina-
tion, many recipes have been
adapted to include Spam. Just
a few examples provided by
Bernard are Fettucini
Primavera, Quesadillas, Party,
Dips, and Cheeseballs.
The dessert category may be,
the most challenging, but
over the years there bave been
some desserts
that have been
outstanding.
One memo-
rable dessert
from a previ-
ous cook-off
OCOOKS" was a Spam
Apple Crisp
Cake made .
with pineapple and Spam that
Bernard says was delicious.
Also part of the so-called
"Spam Rules" encourage
those attending to "savor"
every bite as they sample each
dish arid prepare to vote for,
the best recipes.
Winners are selected by vote
of everyone in attendance and
to keep everything fair each
dish is identified by number
only.
Every year Bernard contacts
the public relations depart-
ment at the Hormel Co. for
prizes for the cook-off and
other materials for the party
and has been amazed at the
variety of Spam-related items
available.
The company has sent items
including Spam aprons, hats,
T-shirts, mugs, cookbooks,
and a catalog full of Spam-
related items that can be
ordered.
This year's cook-off was
held in January at Bernard's'
home. Michelle Harrison took
first place for her first-time
entry, Easy Spam Quiche in
the Appetizer category.
..urley -Havwobd of
Ponte Vedra Beach is a
five-time winner of the
Rolex 24-hour race at
Daytona International
Speedway.
But around-the-clock racing
can reduce past champions
to spectator status in the time
it takes to change a lane on J.
Turner Butler Boulevard.
Haywood's name and race
car number is synonymous
with endurance racing. He
has won 10 endurance races ,
including Le Mans three
times and the 12 Hours of
Sebring twice.
His famous No. 59 Porsches
are no stranger to Daytona's
Victory Lane.
But past victories are no
guarantee of success in a 24-
hour race. Water pumps
break. Wrecks happen. Even
simple things like headlights
not working can do in a
sleek, six-figure race car.
Hurley, I feel your pain.
I attended Saturday's Rolex
24 as a fan, not as a member
of the media, and'pulled for
Haywood's No. 59 Porsche-
Fabcar to win.
Haywood's car, sponsored
by Jacksonville's Brumos
Racing, started in the 10th
position, but crashed an hour
later with co-driver Joao
Barbosa at the wheel.
A series of unfortunate
mechanical events followed,
including faulty headlights at
dusk.
I left the track around 9
p.m. feeling good because
Haywood's car had finally
cracked the top-15 and
seemed to be gaining on its
garage mate, the much faster
No. 58 Porsche-Fabcar, which
eventually finished fourth
overall.
Haywood's entry wound up
a disappointing 36th out of
66 starters, completing only
559 laps of the 734-lap event.
Around-the-clock racing
'takes an iinmerciful toll on a
race car.
A team's ability to make
JOHNNY
WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE,EDITOR
speedy repairs in the pits or
in the paddock area is the dif-
ference between finishing the
2,613-mile race or watching it-
on the Speed Channel.
Haywood was not alone in
his misfortune. Other house-
hold racing names such as
Kyle Petty, Rusty Wallace,
Tony Stewart and Indy racer
Danica Patrick also failed to
drive under the checkered
flag.
Stewart probably spent
more time tooling around the
infield in a golf cart than he
did on the 3.56-mile, 14-turn
race track.
His Pontiac went through
seven alternators en route to
30th place.
Teammates Wallace and
Patrick retired from the race
before 11 p.m. with a blown
head casket.
After 24 hours; 0 minutes
and 40.031 seconds, the mar-
gin of victory:by the winning
entry, a Lexus co-driven by
defending Indy 500 champ
Dan Wheldoh, was one lap.
Wheldon was making only
his second start in a. Daytona
endurance race. Haywood,
56, was making his 32nd in
the past 36 years.
Win or lose, Haywood is
nothing short of royalty at
the Rolex 24. He is the epito-
me of class in the cockpit.
He'll be back next year for
a shot at another crown.
And he won't be a long-
shot, either.'

Civil rights documentary at Flagler
FROM CONTRIBUTOR
"Dare Not Walk Alone: The
'War of Responsibility," a docu-
mentary focusing on the civil
rights struggle in St. Augustine,
%ill premiere Feb. 12 at 7 p.m.
in the Flagler College
Auditorium.
The film examines' the inter-
actions of race, class, responsi-
bility, the civil rights 'move-
ment, the hip-hop generation,
as well as St. Augustine, then
and now. Film maker and.
Flagler alumnus Jeremy Dean
was inspired by his parents'
focus on missionary work.
"I, think I have a kind of
heightened sense of cultural
and racial issues," he said.
"When I came to school [at
Flagler], it never sat very well
with me going over to West
Augustine [a poor, predomi-
nantly black area west of the
train tracks near King Street]
and seeing the conditions
there."
Dean faced many challenges
while completing his film
including trying to earn the
trust of the community 'he was
trying to document.
"I'm the young white guy
coming from the outside and
asking people to basically tell
their life story," he said. "It
takes some time."
Over time, Dean was able to
develop relationships' with
people who participated in
civil rights protests and others
in the West Augustine commu-
nity.'
"There's still a lot of emo-
tional scars and a lot of dis-
tru'st," Dean said. "You don't
want to just go in there and use
them to make a statement. I'm
still very much involved with
all of them."
,, The premiere of "Dare Not
Walk Alone" will be held in the
Flagler College Auditorium
Feb. 12 at. 7 p.m.. This event is
free and open to the public.

Panthers aiming for Regional final
Nease blanks Lecanto;
another match against
St. Augustine looming
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS Wt'RITER
An easy Nease regional quar-
terfinal victory
last Thursday, a --
6-0 win over i'
Lecanto, of .
Citrus County,
set up what was ..
a tough sernifi-
nal match with
Bishop Moore
of Orlando
Tuesday night.
The, winner
of Tuesday's
game, played NEASE
at Nease High, TO
travels to the ILECANTO
St. Augustine-
St. Cloud victor Friday at 6:30
p.m.
Nikki Lombardo led Nease
with two goals against Lecanto,
at 22:13 and 4:15 of the first
half. She was assisted by Stacey
Hanburry on
:--- ... -. .the first goal
S / and Jamie
S. Silverberg on
the second.

said of
Silverberg's cross, "and it was

Pnoro Dy ROB DeANGELO
Nease High's Nikki Lombardo (16) gets a hug from teammate
Stacey Hanburry after Lombardo scored the Panthers' first goal
of the night against Lecanto.
Other Panther scorers were
Hanburry at 14:53, with an
assist from Kristen Hoover, who
made a great run from the left;
Lisa Heise, on a penalty kick at
2:29 of the first half after
Ashley Delaney was taken
down in the Lecanto box;
Lauren Crossan at 31:29 of the
second half, with a laser
between the near post and
Lecanto goalkeeper Sam King;
and Alisha Barratt, with 6:28
remaining.
Lecanto coach Kevin Towne,
who has been coaching for 18
years, was impressed by what
he saw in Nease.
"The ball movement that
team had was unbelievablee"
said Towne, whose team fin-
ished 14-6-2. "We played 6A
schools, 5A schools, a lot of
good 4A schools, and that
team's, by far, the best I've ever
seen. They don't have a weak
part. They're solid from front to
back. We were just out-
matched."
Lecanto mounted what could
be considered just one serious
threat, at 23:55 of the second
half, with Hannah Marvin in
goal replacing Nease starting
keeper Catherine O'Donnell.
With the Nease defense keep-
ing forwards Maggie Mueller
and Natalie Burnett at bay,
O'Donnell had just four touch-
es, two kicks and two throws,
that occurred without pressure
until being replaced by Marvin
at 33:14 of the second half.
"I was freezing," O'DonneU
said of her lack of activity on a
chilly night. "I didn't get any
shots. That's what I like,
though. If I don't have to touch
it, and we're shooting like
every five seconds, that's fine
with me. Because we had so
many opportunities.
"It's just great that if I don't
have any touches, that's fine
because our defense is doing
the job," O'Donnell said as she
and Marvin combined for
Nease's 16th shutout, and
fourth in a row as part of an
"ongoing string headifig toward
Bishop Moore.'
"We work really hard, and we
just work really well together,"
Dani Nelson, a senior member
of the Nease defense, said of
their effort. "We urge each
other on, look out for each
other.
"The team works really well
together, and we open up in
the middle," said Nelson. "Our
outside mids come back for us;
we just pass it around."
Looking ahead to Tuesday's
match against Bishop Moore,
Nease coach Dave Silverberg
said his opponents' 17-8-1
record might be deceiving.
While the Hornets suffered
eight losses, they did defeat
New Port Richey, 2-0, last week

sively we've got to
work to make sure
to keep our skills
sharpened back
there," said the
Nease coach,
"because we're
going to see a team
that's going to chal-
lenge us."
Lombardo *said
'she knew what the
Panthers had to do
to contend with the
Hornets.
"We need to keep
the Intensity up,"
she said. "When we
have intensity, we
are unbeatable.
When we possess
the ball, we are
unbeatable."
Silverberg said
his team's confi-
dence has been
building.
"I think we're
getting more confidence
because everyone is part of this
thing. It's not one or two. I
think the more you have
involved, then the easier it is
for everyone to be positive and
confident and want to con-
tribute. Everyone's involved."
The easy victory over
Lecanto gave Silverberg the
opportunity to play all his
players, and they responded.
"They did, and that's the
future," said Silverberg. "We
have four or five tremendous
seniors, and they're gone [after
this season]. This gives [the
other players] an opportunity
to get some experience, and us
the opportunity to see them
play in games like this. So it's a
great bonus."
Heise, Hanburry and Jessica
Gambill are sophomores the
Nease girls soccer team will be
looking to in the future.
"Lisa and Jessica and Stacey
are playing very, very well. For
the next two years they're
going to be the nucleus of this
team," said Silverberg.

where he's already enrolled."
A signing ceremony is
scheduled for 10 a.m. Feb. 1 in
Nease High's Performing Arts
Center.
Silvoy never thought he'd
be going to college on a foot-'
ball scholarship. Until this
past season, that is..
.The 6-foot-4, ,180-pound
wide receiver spent his first
two years at Nease playing,
basketball. He continued to
play forward on the hoops
team as a junior, but played JV
football in the fall and was
elevated to varsity at the end
of the 2004 JV season:
As a junior, Silvoy wasn't
thinking about college foot-
ball.
"I didn't think football was
going to be that big a deal,"
he said in a telephone inter-
view Jan. 25. "It turned out
that it was."
Silvoy, put all his focus on'
football this past season, and
was Nease's second-leading
receiver.
"I went into the summer
knowing I was going to have
to play a big role on the
team," he said. "The harder I
worked, I knew I'd get more
out of it. I'm looking forward
to starting out as a freshman
next season."
Silvoy has made a commit-
ment to Troy [Ala.] University,
while Owens, a tailback, and
Wellington, a linebacker, have
chosen Florida International.
Troy and FlU are members of
the Sun Belt conference,
meaning Silvoy, Owens and
Wellington likely will see one
another on the football field
in the future.
Silvoy enjoyed his campus
visit to Troy, and the football
players he met. But there was
something else that got his
attention.
"They had just hired the
offensive coordinator from
Kentucky, Coach [Tony]
Franklin, and they will run
the spread offense just like
Nease. I'll fit right in when I
get there, because I know
everything that's coming,"
said Silvoy.
The Troy Trojans, coached
by Larry Blakeney, were 4-7
last year, 3-4 in the Sun Belt.
The incoming Troy recruit-
ing class includes a receiver
with whom Silvoy's familiar,
Cornelius Williams of Hoover
[Ala.] High. Nease started its
run to the Florida Class 4A
state championship in
Alabama Aug. 27, when they
lost to Hoover.50-29.
The 4A title team will be
honored Feb. 2 at halftime of
the Nease-Bolles boys basket-
ball game. A giant picture of
,the championship squad will
be unveiled, to eventually
hang in the gymnasium.
Wellington is the most
recent Nease player to make a
commitment, joining fellow
linebackers Kirschman and
Haynes. Kirschman was the
first Panther to commit, to
Alabama. Haynes has chosen
Wake Forest.
Tebow's long-awaited
choice of school was tele-ised
nationally on ESPN News. He
later was one of three runners-
up for Parade magazine's
Player of the Year, an honor
that went to Mitch Mustain, a
quarterback at Springdale
[Ark.] High School.
Ellis, also a wide receiver,
has committed to Southern
Miss, while Polochak, an
offensive lineman, has chosen
East Carolina.
Offensive linemen Travis
Crowley and Joey
Flinchbaugh have been ten-
dered offers. Crowley has
offers from Boise State,
Arkansas State, Appalachian
State and Valdosta State.
Flinchbaugh's offer comes
from Valdosta State;
Placekicker Alex Amaral, for
whom the championship sea-
son was his first year of foot-
ball, has been invited to walk-
on at Bowling'Green.

I,
It's that time of year again, -
post-holidays and pre-spring.'
And that means it's time to get
back in fitness mode. Most of
us actually enjoy working out
'and the energy boost it gives,
but few of us like what Scott
Tucker, managing partner of
World Gym in Ponte Vedra, ,
calls the "intimidation factor"
in many fitness centers.
"The minute you enter most
gyms you can spot the intimi-
dation factor," he says. "You
know that uncomfortable
feeling you get when you're
surrounded by people dressed
in inappropriate workout
apparel and what I call 'muscle f"
heads.'"
"World Gym in Ponte Vedra
is the exact opposite," says
Scott. "Rather than intimidate,
we invite!" That may be just
one of the reasons that World
Gym has been voted the No. 1
club in Jacksonville for the
past two years, according to
Folio Weekly. The professionals at V\
"We're different than most
fitness facilities because we're sonal training by merging
about customer service," says (left to right) are Dave A
Pamela Slattery, general man- manager; Pamela Slattery
ager of the Ponte Vedra facility.
"Our members dictate how we run our gym."
"We listen to our members and tailor a program that
helps each member achieve his or her goals," adds Scott.
"Our members want a non-intimidating atmosphere that's
family-friendly, comfortable yet motivating and clean, so
that's what we provide."
As the company's motto states, "there's a world of rea-
sons to join World Gym," and the new facility in Ponte
Vedra the third World Gym location opened in the
Jacksonville area in the past four years, certainly offers
many.
Among the reasons are a world-class cardio and strength-
training center featuring the best state-of-the-art equip-
ment available, a great selection of group fitness classes,
personal trainers, a pro shop and even babysitting and all
in a friendly, non-threatening environment.
"First-time visitors to our gym are surprised to find what
we offer here," says Pamela. "Our gym is much larger than
it appears from the outside and features $300,000 worth of
top-of-the-line training equipment." The dance studio at
World Gym in Ponte Vedra features a state-of-the-art sound
system, and the large, bright fitness machine room has
nine liquid crystal TVs for your viewing pleasure. "With so
many high-.ech machines, that means no waiting.in ilnes
to work, out""' Paiadds. Also available are steam rooms!,
showers and tanniing booths.
World Gym at Ponte Vedra offers fitness classes six days
a week to accommodate any workout schedule, from 6 in
the morning to 7 at night. "Here you'll find a full range of
core classes that we offer throughout the year," says
Pamela. "We also stay up to date with the newest trends to
keep our classes fun and exciting and offer new specialty
classes from time to time." All fitness classes at World Gym
in Ponte Vedra are taught by certified instructors and are
geared toward all fitness levels. Class'titles show the variety
of workout classes available: Super Spin, Cardio Combo,
yoga, Pilates, Abs, Dance Euphoria, Morning Grind, Cardio
Kickbox, Power Pump, Dance Fit.

FISHING LEADER
The weather has sent many
anglers to Rodman Dam seek-
ing bass and perch.
. .The Mayport Princess,.with:
Captain George Strate, made
two trips last week, and had
happy anglers aboard each
afternoon. On Mondav, anglers
took pictures and cleaned nine
snapper to 13 pounds, a pair of
12-pound grouper and coolers
full of beeliners and seabass.
On. Tuesday, a group from
NAPA fished from.the Princess
and brought 11 snapper to 14
pounds over the rail along
with dozens of beeliners and
seabass.
Capt. Dave Sipler and Ken
Hubbard fished the surf with
fresh, dead shrimp last
Wednesday below P.V. and
caught 30 whiting along with a
shark. And last Saturday, Capt.
Dave, with the Dave Handa
party, used live shrimp in the
river to net 30 trout to three
pounds and a 21-inch redbass.
Wade and Kathy Randall
fished the surf .at P.V. for a
catch of 22 whiting.
'Last Thursdav Butch Garvin
and Rusty Borthwick fished for,
a couple of hours across from

caught 25 speckled trout on
float rigs.
Larry "Fishman' Finch, with
Mike Lane, his wife and four-
year-old son, fished the jetties
and the canal last Saturday and
caught a dozen sheepshead at

canal near the Atlantic Blvd.
Bridge and netting ten redbass.
,.Three of the reds were more
than 27 inches.
George Bull Jr., with his
friend Carson Eddings, fished
several backwater creeks not
too far from Nassau Sound last
Friday and caught 10 redbass,
10 drum, a pair of flounder and
a sheepshead. They used live
shrimp and jigs for bait from
George's Bionic Bull.
On the Jacksonville Beach
Pier last week the fishing was
much improved. Most every
angler who fished through the
tide caught a mess of whiting.
Jim Davis cleaned 30 whiting,
James Potee had 22 whiting in
his bucket and Chris Haywood

If you see an unusual number
of people wearing red next
Friday, they may be trying to
tell you something. Friday
February the 3rd is The
American Heart Association's
"National Wear Red Day," a
campaign whose goal is to sup-
port and inform women of their
significant risks of heart disease.
By encouraging everyone to
wear red, the American Heart
Association hopes to raise
awareness of heart disease and
inspire women to take charge of
their health.
Heart' disease is the number.
one killer of women in this
country, although .many are
unaware of the risks of heart
disease in women. In fact, most
still consider heart disease to be
a "man's: problem," and often
ignore their cardiovascular
health..,
According to the American
Heart Association, "Go Red For
Women" is a nationwide move-
ment to empower women to
love -- and save their hearts.
through lifestyle choices and
actions, By joining together
with hundreds of other compa-
nies and organizations across
America on National Wear Red

Q. Dr. Smith, my wrist
hurts when I fish. Casting
my. line, and reeling in is
painful along the outside of
my wrist and into my thumb.
What do you think this is?'
Based of your description of
outer (radial) wrist and thumb
pain with specific activities,
there are two common prob-
lems that come to mind. The
first is known as "DeQuervain's
syndrome" and 'refers to
inflammation of the tendon.
which controls extension or
raising of the thumb.
This tendon passes through a
tight tunnel across the, wrist,
and is subject to inflammation
due to constant rubbing with
activity which stresses the,
wrist.' Although this problem
may effect athletes such as'
golfers and tennis players, it
also effects those involved in
common daily activities.
Treatment for DeQuervain's
.syndrome typically begins
with oral medications, and per-
haps bracing to put the tendon
at rest. If symptoms continue,
an injection of a steroid such
as cortisone can be very benefi-
cial, and possibly curative. In
some circumstances however,
pain may continue despite
conservative treatment and
surgery will eliminate the
problem. Surgery consists of a
small incision directly over the
tendon, where the tunnel is
"opened up" to take away any
chance of any rubbing of the
tendon. This is an outpa-
tient procedure, and takes
about 30 minutes to perform. "
, The second common diagno-,
sis to consider with your histo-.
ry of pain is arthritis of your
hand, specifically where the
long bone on the thumb side
of your hand joins to the wrist,
known as the "first car-
pometacarpal joint."
, This joint can be subject to
high load' and stress with sim-
ple day to day activities, such
as opening a jar. Pain is felt
directly within the joint at the
wrist, and may radiate up the,
thumb. X-rays will help con-
firm the diagnosis. Once a
diagnosis is established, treat-
ment options include arthritis'
medications which help reduce
pain and inflammation. and
improve your function.
An injection of steroid into
the joint can be very, beneficial
as well, often providing
months of relief. If these
options fail to bring about con-
siderable relief, surgery can be
considered.
The take home message for
your should be that you very
well may have a "fixable" prob-
lem. However, you can't get
better if you don't get treat-
ment, so see your physician for
further evaluation.

FROM STAFF
The Ponte Vedra Storm U-13
girls soccer team continues to
impress fans and the other
teams, too at national
events.
The Storm competes only in
premier, elite-level tourna-
ments, playing against teams
ranked in the Top 20 in the
nation. The Storm. which car-
ries a Top 20 ranking of its
own, has been No. 1 in Florida
three years running.
This season the Storm, under
Trey Clark, director of coach-
ing for the Ponte Vedra Soccer
Club, and his wife/assistant
coach Kathy, has gone unde-
feated in pool play in three
national events. In the cham-
pionship rounds of those tour-
naments, the Storm placed
first, second and third.
The Storm's most recent trip,
over the winter break, was to
Disney's Soccer Showcase pre-
sented by adidas in Orlando.
At that event, they finished
runner-up in the Predator
Division to the No. 3 team in
the nation, Dallas Texans Red.
The Texans Red defeated the
Storm 3-0 after the Ponte
Vedia side had gone 3-0-1 lead-
ing up to that match. The
Texas team entered the game
with a perfect record after
outscoring its first four oppo-
nents 19-1, including an 8-0
shellacking of Inter-United
Krush of Florida in its first con-
test.
The Storm defeated DF\V
Telanos, the north Texas cham-
pions, 3-1 in their opening
match, then shut out the
South Carolina champions,
CESA Premier, 2-0. In their
third game, they tied the
A new kind of runner's high
H ow much would you
pay for a pair of running
shoes? How does $250
sound? Pretty scary, huh?
Athletic shoe manufacturers
" M-li pushiiig up prices like never
before. Rising oil prices have, of
course, legitimately increased
the production costs of just
about everything and running
shoes that are made of nothing
but petroleum byproducts are
affected. Still, some of these
new price points are as unnec-
essary as they are absurd.
It is the old "see what the
market will bear" thinking run
amok.
While I was an athletic shoe
store buyer in the early 1980s, I
remember when a New Balance
salesman showed me the first
$70 running shoe. I couldn't
believe it, the established price
at the time was $29.99; the
expensive ones were $39.99. It
was impossible to control my
laughter as I exclaimed, "No
one will ever pay 70 bucks for a
pair of running shoes!"
Boy was I wrong. My crystal
ball must have really been
kaput that day. It took time but
consumers came 'round to the
$70 shoe and now look: You
can't even find a pair for that
price these days.
What's more, observe how
the mind works. If there were a
pair on the market, people
wouldn't wear it. They would
say that it was too cheap to be
any good.
Yes, the old $70 price point is
dead and gone. Survived, how-
ever, by his kid brother, the
$100 price ,barrier. It took an
understandably long time for
this usurper to take hold even
though a great many people
still find him unacceptable.
But still, there are a lot of
$100, $110 and $130 shoes out
there and people are buying
plenty of them despite the fact
that there is precious little dif-
ference between. the $85 and
the $110 shoes. Well, except
$25.
Adidas has just released the
world's first $250 running
shoe. You have probably read
about it. The shoe's selling
point is that it is a computer-
shoe. A computer chip in the
mid-sole of the shoe detects
when you have changed sur-
faces and adjusts the shoe's
"ride," its firmness or softness.
Now when you are running
down the beach you can jump
from firm waterlogged sand to
powdery loose sand and then
up to the cement of the board-
walk all without missing a
computer chip-accommodated
$250 stride. Just don't let the
salty tide swamp them or you
could be crying $250 crocodile
tears.
New Balance has had a $200
BOB FERNEE
RUNNING/FITNESS
shoe out for four years or so but
nobody much bought it. I
guess it was ahead of its tune.
Perhaps now that $200 is made
cheap they'll be selling them
like the proverbial hotcakes.
Nike is touting the new Air
Max 360; a shoe the company
says is vastly superior because it
is "all air."
It may be more hot air than
anything else. Nike's marketing
boys are notorious for hyping
stuff to the airless stratosphere.
The 360 goes for a cool $165, a
new Nike record.
Market leader Asics has a
new gel model that they think
is worth $165 because it
"shows more gel." The shoe
displays the silicon jelly stuff
all over the heel. If you show
them the money, they'll show
you the gel.
Manufacturers are hoping
the unwitting consumer will
maintain his belief in the old
erroneous) adage, "you get
what you pay for." A sucker
punch if there ever was one.
So why the big difference in
prices? All of them are com-
posed of the same ingredients:
Nylon and vinyl, used primari-
ly in the uppers; ethyl vinyl
acetate referred to as eval, that
makes up the mid-soles; carbon
rubber, for durability at the
heel; some softer ("blown")
-ubbei that is used for the rest
of the outer sole and a few bits
and pieces of plastic here and
there.
Manufacturers would have
you believe that if you pay
more you get a better shoe, a
higher-tech shoe.
Any truth in that? With the
higher-priced model you might
possibly feel a bit more shoe
beneath your feet. If so, and it
feels more comfortable, or is
more suited to your needs,
then buy it. If it doesn't, then
don't. -
Some people think that if
you pay more for a shoe it will
last longer. Don't count on it.
The lifespan of all training
shoes is about the same, regard-
less of price, about 500 miles.
So if you run 20 miles a week
you can expect to be shopping
for a new pair in six or seven
months.
* The fact is you can buy about
as good a running shoe as you
are likely to find for $80 to $95.
Unless you're in the mood to
throw money away there is no
need to do so and there is not
much need to buy a Rolls
Royce of running shoes.
The important thing is to use
a shoe that is correct for your
'foot structure and gait cycle,
not just to pay top dollar in the
belief that the priciest shoe is
the "best" shoe.
You need to go to a reputable
running shoe specialty store to
accomplish this. Don't be nerv-
ous, if you don't want to pay
!$100 or more just tell them so
up front. You can still buy the
right shoe at the right price

"To say that the girls
'stepped up to the plate' is a
complete understatement,"
said Clark. "With four girls not
able to make the trip, we went
into the tournament wanting

Players come from as far
