Glitches hit


new sewers


By KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
A trustee of the
Ponte Vedra
Municipal Service
District (MSD) is try-
ing to find out why
the vacuum sewer
system in the MNSD
caused a backup in'
one home, one of
three failures report-
ed in the five-month-
old system.
The backup report-
ed to MSD trustees
Monday occurred on
a recent Sunday
evening at a home on
Ramona Street.
Also at the MSD
meeting Monday, one
trustee reported a sep-


rate problem sand
that had to be
cleaned out of a
sewage collection
chamber.
"These are the first
instances we've been
aware of," trustee Rob
Becker said Tuesday.
The sewer system,
which uses vacuum
to pull sewage from
underground collec-
tion chambers near
homes, was complet-
ed in late August.
Each collection
chamber contains a

BY LAURA
FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The momentum
behind putting a
paved bike path from
Franklin Avenue to
Pablo Road in Ponte
Vedra's Municipal
Service District (MSD)
has screeched to a halt.
Bob Reesh, chairman
of the MSD Board of
Trustees, told residents
at Monday's MSD
meeting that a utility
pole in Tony Spuria's
front yard at 348 Pablo
Road Would have to be
moved off of his prop-
erty, putting it in the
middle of the proposed
bike path.
"Until' the utility
pole is moved, nobody
can do anything," said
Reesh, who asked the
county in late January
to stop construction of
the path.
But Spuria and sever-
al others who attended
the meeting want to
stop cpnstruction of
the bike path Tor good
and have- the area
returmed-'to the way it
was. ,--
A fehce, which runs
along the, perimeter of
the Poi'te Vedra Inn
and Club golf course,
used to separate Pablo
Road from the north
part of Seaview Park.
The area between-the
two roads, which spans
less than 100 feet, was
opened up last year to
allow residents on the
five streets in that sec-
tion of Seaview Park to
get to their homes
while Solana Road was
closed for road work.


Solana Road provides
the only access to
north Seaview Park..
During a meeting of
the MSD trustees last
year, some residents
suggested keeping the
area open for a bike
path when Solana
reopened to Golf View
residents in December.
But Spuria and some
of his neighbors want
the fence to go back
up.
Part of the reason,
they said, is that peo-
ple on bicycles and
skateboards emptying
onto a dangerous area
of Pablo Road are a
safety hazard.
"Everyone is going
to be using this walk-
way," Spuria said in the
meeting.
"When people come
out on Pablo Road. .
something's going to
happen and it's going
to be the county's lia-
bility."
Golf View Circle resi-
dent Garrett Newman
. said a bike path would
invite more crime, giv-
ing criminals two
escape routes iristead
of one: Golf View
Circle.
He said that his vehi-
cle was burglarized and
the windshield broken
after the fence was
removed.
Other residents with
children expressed sup-
port for the bike path
in order to keep kids
from playing in the
streets.
Solana Road resident
Vince DiRito said he

Ocean Palms is big winner


at Florida student 'Oscars'


BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
America's next Steven
Spielburg or Martin Scorsese
may emerge from a group of
students in Ponte Vedra.
Out of six St. Johns County
student-made films that won
the state's Jim Harbin awards
- Florida's version of the
Oscars for students three
films came from 5th graders,
at Ocean Palms Elementary.
Three groups of 5th graders
created everything from the
score to the script, winning
first in the state in the cate-
gories of music video and
documentary, and third place
in the drama category.
"They loved it," Deb
Eatmon, one of the students'
5th grade teachers, said about
the kids' enthusiasm for the
project.
"They just spent hours and
hours [working]."
Eatmon's students and
those of Tracy Williams,
another 5th grade teacher at
Ocean Palms, worked togeth-
er to produce a total of seven
short films.
Ponte Vedra's Public
Education Foundation sup-
plied the classes with $500


arid equipment such as speak-
eis, iPods .and external hard
drives on which the film
footage was st6dtd.
Eatmon is a' teacher in
Ocean Palm's' Instructional
Delivery Model program,
which is a technology-based
curriculum throughout the
county.
Eatmon said she's been
working with video technolo-
gy in her classroom for about
six years, but last year was her
first experience with the Jim
Harbin Student Media
Festival.
Students from all over the
state submit their film proj-
ects under different cate-
gories. The winners advance
from the county level to the
regional level before taking
on other winners around the
state in the final round.
The awards for the state
winners were given in the fall
at a viewing and awards cere-
mony in Orlando.
The films must be no more
than seven minutes long, and
the students must be respon-
sible for every creative aspect
of the film from writing
the music to editing the final
version.
The students write the


scripts and story boards as
part of their language arts
class, where they learn about
what makes a good story line,
Eatmon said.
Eatmon said the editing
process took the most time
and involved students work-
ing after school for several
hours.
"It's really time-consum-
ing," she said.
"It's actually some pretty
detailed production work that
they do."
The winning dramatic film,
titled "The Key," is a story of
a little girl who gets locked in
the library after school.
The girl, who hates school,
dreams that the characters in
the library's books come to
life, which is achieved
through special effects.
As "lightening" hits the
books, the characters all
played by the students pop
out of the books, teaching the
little girl that learning is fun.

Path: Apologies offered


Cont. from A-1
wanted kids 'in the neighbor-
hood to have a safe route to
their friends' houses, instead of
having to walk or bike along
busier streets such as San Juan
Drive or Solana.
"I would like to see the walk-
way kept if it can be done so
safely," DiRito said.
Virginia Simpson of Ramona
Street also showed her support
but apologized for being one of
the residents who suggested
the path in the first place with-
out asking if other residents
wanted it.
"I thought it was a good idea
to open up the community to
people," Simpson said.
MSD trustee Doug Crane also
expressed ,apologies for not
considering the "end result"
before supporting the path.
Reesh said he discovered that
the county has no record of
who owns the 'property
between the two roads.
Reesh said county staff is
looking at old records to deter-
mine who owns it, and that


process could take a couple
weeks. ,
Meanwhile, MSD trustees
voted to return the bike path
area to the way it was before
the Solana project got under
way in May fence, grass and
all.
The work will be paid for by
the county as part of the con-
tract for the Solana Road con-
struction, Reesh said.
Next month, the MSD
trustees will again try to find a
solution to the bike path prob-
lem.
* Several residents seemed
open to creating a path out of
mulch, which would slow
down bikers as they empty
onto Pablo Road.
Reesh said in a telephone
interview Tuesday that resi-
dents should come to the
monthly meetings and express
their opinions so the trustees
can make better. decisions
based on what residents want.
The next meeting will be
held March 13 at 6 p.m. in the
Ponte Vedra Beach Branch
Library.

An architect who specializes
in police facilities has told
Atlantic Beach officials that
renovating the city's "inade-
quate, unfunctional" Public
Safety Building as planned will
not be enough to meet the
department's needs and that
the city should construct a new
facility roughly four times the
size of the current one.
But the estimated $5 million
price tag and a lack of available
land needed to build such a
structure has city officials at a
"'crossroads" of what to do.
The City Commission at a
Feb. 2 strategic planning meet-
ing discussed the city's options
for constructing a new police
facility. Options discussed
included relocating the
attached Jacksonville Fire and
Rescue Station to make room
for a new police building at the
current location, 850 Seminole
Road.
But while Police Chief David
Thompson at the meeting said
that moving the fire station
,..was ,,;i'ifeasible,," ,i.t he a rchi tect


said the "most cost effective
way" to go would be to build a
new facility on another piece
of property.
The approximately 4,900-
square-foot building includ-
ing the fire station was'con-
structed in 1987 when the
police force was much smaller
and the technology of the day
required less space. But the
growth of the city has' created a
need for more police officers,
staff and computer technology,
according to city officials. The
department currently has 29
sworn officers and 13 non-
sworn staff members and is
looking to add more positions.'
The department's dispatch
room is hot and cramped due
to the addition of newer dis-
patch computer equipment,
staff said.
The commission last year
budgeted $475,000 to com-
plete the first of a two-phase
renovation project for the
building.
But an architect who special-
izes in public safety and was
recently brought in to review
the city's renovation plans said
the police building needs more

Sewer: 3 of about 100 valves failed

sewage has collected, forcing
the sewage into a pipe in the
right-of-way and eventually
to a treatment plant west of i
State Road A1A in Ponte
Vedra.
Becker said when the JEA
discussed the sewer project
before it was constructed, res-
idents were told that "if a
valve failed, it should fail in
the open position," thus
avoiding a backup.

in the shower, so I yelled
throughout the house, 'No
one flush a toilet! No one use
the water!'" Simpson
explained in a telephone
interview Tuesday. '
A United Water employee
made a fix that evening,
SSimpson said, but by 2 p.m.
the next day, "the toilet
wouldn't flush."
The problem was fixed that
day and has not recurred,
Simpson said, adding that the
repairmen gave two different
Explanations on why the
backup occurred.
Doug McCutchen, project
director for JEA, which owns
the sewer system, said
Tuesday that Simpson's is one
of three chambers in which
valves have failed,' causing
backups.
He said he doesn't know
whether each of the failed
valves had the same problem
nor whether any others
might be expected to mal-
function.
"This is JEA's first vacuum
sewer project, so we don't
have any data to draw
on," McCutchen said.
About 100 valves had been
installed by mid-January, he
said.
The sewer replaces about
670 septic systems, and prop-
erty owners have about a year
to hook up to the system.
McCutchen said the three
valves were replaced, and the
chamber that contained sand
was cleaned.
Don Boggs, director of grid
projects for JEA, said sand can
get into a chamber either dur- ;


ing construction "or if there's
a break someplace, which is
highly unlikely."
Although the collection
chamber at Simpson's home
is connected to that home
only, other chambers are con-
nected to two or more homes.
Simpson said because her
system backed up in the
hours between the two


than a renovation.
"They said "you have inade-
quate, unfunctional Public
Safety Building and if you
spend $1 million [renovating
it] you're still going to be left
with an inadequate, unfunc-
tional Public Safety Building,"
Thompson told commission-
ers. "They said you're better off
building a new facility... what's
here is probably not worth sav-
ing. We .probably need four
times the space we have." i
"But we don't have the land
to do that. There's not a lot of
land in the city and there's not
a place to go and build a new
site."
Commissioners at the meet-
ing discussed possible loca-
tions to move the fire station
such as next to the Neptune
Beach Police Department or
somewhere along Mayport
Road to create more room.
That fire station, staffed by
Jacksonville firefighters, also
serves Neptune Beach.
But City Manager Jim
Hanson warned that moving
the fire station too far from the
center of the city could
increase response times to fires.

quickly sewage would back
up if there were a similar fail-

or more homes.
"We'd be like the people in

some recent sewer problems
in another part of Ponte
Vedra Beach.

Commissioners also dis-
cussed ways to get more prop!
erty for a new police building.
"We're either talking emii
nent domain or annexation td
get more land," Commissioner
Mike Borno said, meaning that
the city could force the sale of
private land or annex an adjaL
cent portion of Jacksonville
along Mayport Road.
Hanson 'said the most diffil
-cult issue to resolve may b
finding funding for the proji
ect, which he said could only
be financed through a general
bond issue.
-Hanson is recommending
that the city take a "more
practical approach" by amendF
ing the renovation plans to
incorporate some of the archil
tect's suggestions and do thE
project in phases over three o,
four years, keeping the city;
"debt free."
"It's a large amount ol
money," Hanson said. "But thq
police department certain y,
needs it. It needs some help." .
The city staff will report bacl
to the commission this sum,
mer during budget meetings tc
discuss the issue further.

Public input needed

on moving AB police

The relocation of public safety facilities in Atlantic
Beach from their present location on Seminole Road
was broached during a recent strategic planning ses-
sion.
The move is being suggested to allow more room to
expand the police station. An architect has reportedly
advised the city that it would be wasting its money to
do a modest expansion that has been planned.
The fire station is manned by Jacksonville firefight-
ers and crews respond to calls in both Neptune Beach
and Atlantic Beach. It has been suggested the station
could be moved closer to Neptune Beach.
Another suggestion is that the police station, next
to the current fire station at the 5-way stop at
Seminole Road, could be moved.
Certainly, whether either or both public safety facil-
ities should be moved requires additional study.
In addition, substantive discussion must take place
in the community.
Additional input should be solicited before any
decisions or expenditures are committed. If more
space is required, those footing the bill must be cer-
tain the cost is really justified and that the result
serves the public's best interests.-

In my opinion, a munici-

to all of its citizens not just
homeowners. I believe the
master code/zoning code
should include adequate pro-


visions for apartments/rental
units. If this keeps up, Atlantic
Beach will become exclusive
and exclusionary....which
may be challenged down the
road.
We are not a gated commu-

ment is enhanced by diversity.
I think they call it character.

More letters to the editor:

Deputies must be able to locate

Roscoe addresses more quickly


To the editor.
My mother lives on the
Intracoastal on Roscoe
Boulevard in Ponte Vedra
Beach. Today, she witnessed sev-
eral young boys shooting rifles
and other types of, guns off of
their dock into the water, across
the water into the woods, and
over her property which is the
second house from their house.
She called the police to report
the boys shooting the guns to
see if this was legal in a neigh-
borhood and also while boats
are going by. The .police said
they would send someone out
to check it out.
She saw the police go by her
pw 4,i w,..Therpfore,t,sdh,
assumed tfiey did not have the
right address and passed the
correct one. The correct address
was 194N Roscoe Boulevard.
She assumed they might have
kept going to 194S Roscoe
Boulevard. This would not be
the first time the police did not
get the addresses correct (anoth-
er story I will explain below). A
few minutes later, my mother
saw the boys giving each other
high fives on the dock. Then
she saw them pull a 5 foot egret
out of the water that they shot
and killed. They started holding
the bird up and taking pictures
of each other holding it. My
mother then lost it and went
over to their property to
demand they give her the dead
bird so she would have the evi-


dence of the shot egret. They
refused to hand her the bird..
She also asked them to go inside
and get their parents. They all
went inside and she stood there
for a long time waiting.
Eventually; one of the boys
came back out because they
realized they left all of the guns
on the dock. She asked again
where' the parents were and he
said they were not there. All of
the boys got in their cars and
left the property, taking the bird
in the dead bird in the car with
them. My mother went back
inside and called the police
again to tell them if they had
gone to the right address, they
c9uld have prevented the bi r
ftopi being unnecessarily killed.I
The police sent someone to her
house to get her statement and
said that they would go over to
the right address, however, now
all of the boys had left the prop-
erty.
The other story I was referring
to about the police not having
the correct address is the other
situation happened over
approximately a six month peri-
od. My mom would be woken
up in the middle of the night,
on three different dates, by the
police knocking on her door at
191 North Roscoe. They asked
her to step outside in her paja-
mas because they claimed
someone called 911 from this
address. The first time it hap-'
pened she was confused and
startled. The second and third


time it made her angry and she
tried to explain to the police,
"Hey instead of wasting time
here you guys need to go down'
to 191 South to see if that is
who called. They might really
need you." My mom was really
concerned about this situation
thinking that there is someone
out -there calling 911 and the
police may not be responding
because they have the wrong
address.
My concerns (and probably
most of the other residents on
Roscoe Boulevard) are:
1- The police do not appear
to understand that there is -a
North and South to the address-
e, (JoR1pscoePqi*Ird.,7/f
someone ,d an ,mejrgecy.,,
would the residents of Palm
Valley get a prompt response?
2- Everyone my mother
asked with the police depart-
ment about the laws of shoot-
ing in her neighborhood she
received a different response.
Is it going to take a person
getting killed or injured by
someone shooting off of their
dock for someone to figure out
if this should be allowed in a
residential neighborhood?
Also, if someone does need 911
assistance, will the police know
which address they should
respond to, North or South?
'1s this O.K. for a harmless bird
to get gunned down by some
young kids thinking that is fun?

Take a ride to see many


helped by religion here


To the editor,
Thank you for printing Mr.
Wilson's letter in the Feb 1
Beaches Leader. In our great
country, he has every right to
be heard. He warns us that
churchgoers and religious
groups waste exorbitant time
and talent that could be better
used "serving civilization." He
does not say how he "serves
civilization," but, giving him
the benefit of the doubt, I am
sure he does. In this world of
strife and grief, we have an
opportunity to be civil with
each other, even when we dis-
agree.,
I disagree with Mr.
Wilson for these reasons.
Many people (Christian,
Jewish, Muslim, Atheists and
others) enjoy grouping togeth-
er to help others. My group of
"churchgoers" consists of
about 24 volunteers in the St


Vincent de Paul Society
(Beaches). We visit and assist,
annually, about 700 poor
Beaches families: (about
$6,000-$15,000 income)-
without regard to religion, race
or nationality. For 12 years, we
have provided love, rent/utili-
ty assistance, furniture and
guidance regarding other agen-
cies. With the kind and gener-
ous donations from the won-
derful people of the Beaches,
we provide (annually) a quar-
ter of a million dollars in goods
and services to Beaches fami-
lies-at an overhead of 5-7%.
Coming from a large family,
and, with my wife, raising a
large family-and serving in
our great Army for 40 years
(starting as a private)-l have
heard all Mr. Wilson's points. I
am also aware that when our`
Chaplain (priest) in the' 1st-
Infantry Division in Vietnam


in 1966 was killed in action, he
was not forcing religion on sol-
diers, but rather he was carry-
ing our precious wounded to a
helicopter. Similarly, just
before they died, the "Four
Chaplains" (Protestant,
Catholic and Jewish) on board
the USS Dorchester in WW II
were not forcing religion on
the sailors-they were giving
their four life vests to the
sailors.
If Mr. Wilson wants church-
es to pay taxes, he has the free-
dom to lobby Congress to
change the laws. If he wishes
to see what "church groups,"
do, I invite him to "ride with:
us", and see the faces of men,
women and children whom we'
help. Possibly, he can help us
and we can help him.

HOYLE DEMPSEY
COLUMNIST


True love

is costly

It was a landmark, my 10th
anniversary in December to
my current and final wife,
Dianne. This February 14th 1
really want to do something
unique and special. No ordi-
nary flowers, candy and dinner
for this year. After researching
the World Wide Web, I have
narrowed it down to seven
Valentine choices!
Where do [ start? Maybe I will
get my wife the "Adopt a Vine
Ultimate Gift for Wine Lovers!"
You have to be a millionaire to
own a vineyard, but for only
$68 I can purchase mv better
half a "complete vine!" -She gets
her name on a plate (hopefully
made of light weight material)
attached to the vine. We get
two glasses of wine if we ever
visit her vine, in England!
Next!!!
How about this Cupid spe-
cial? $52 gets a "Chocolate
..Eountain" to present to my
-,Valentine. Load'it with Belgian
'Chocolate and turn it on.
Seconds later you get a moun-
tain of warm melted heaven on
earth ready for dipping. The
skinny girl in the ad is pushing
giant strawberries into the lus-
cioug brown lava. The slender
model reminds us that it is all
"Wonka-Esque!" Sorry Charley!
Another unique choice is to
name a rose after your sweet-
Iearq. For ,a mere $35,you.can
hve a,pF me atta hed t9ga,- up
tiul rose, I can see buying a
dozen Michelles or Amandas,
but a rose named Butch or Peter
would not smell so sweet. I
think Shakespeare would agree.
But wait, I can have a star
named after my wife. You also
get a sky chart to see where your
heavenly body is. This is one I
am not going to recommend to
my cousin Fred over in the
Panhandle. I can hear him now,
"Y'all look up there, that's Mars
and over there is Venus. Oh,
and there is Saturn and just to
the left is Fannie Jean!" Keep
moving on Captain Kirk! That
star is where no man ever wants
to be!
A man can get his special
Valentine something on a budg-
et. A mere $17 gets a personal-
ized chocolate card sent to her.
Of course after she says "Awww"
when she reads the mushy
inscription, them she can say
"Mmmm" as she eats your
words.
The most economical item I
found was the exclusive "Heart
Shaped Frying Pan" for only
$8.81. The ad shows an egg
over easy being prepared. As
cute and inexpensive as it looks,
this is the kind of present that
my Mama used to call "the gift
of work!" The way to her heart
is not spending more time in
the kitchen.
The web site. I discovered my
final choice on, must have
worked a deal out with that
great American Astronaut, Neil
Armstrong. Although I really
doubt that the first man to walk
on the moon, gave these folks
permission to sell it off. The
price isn't bad however, only
$35 for a Lunar acre. My wife's
name would appear on the deed
for a section of "Eternal
Honeymoon!" .-
You know what? I'm ordering
all the stuff for her. She's worth
it. It'll be our seven days of
Valentines, starting with that
grape .vine adoption and the
mini chocolate factory. She'll
have a star and a rose named
Dianne with two Ns and when
the frying pan gets here, I'll,
cook up the heart shaped eggs.
Wait a minute, what is this
about allowing four to six weeks
delivery? Thisis anoutrage! Oh
well, like they say in College
Football, wait till next year!
Now what did I do with that
florist's number? Wonder if the'
Wal-Greens still has a good
selection of candy. Hey they
might even have them on sale
by now, Plus I 'have to make
dinner reservations. Yep, this
Valentine's is going.to be unique
and special!

More letters to the editor:


To the editor-
This is in- response to an
opinion writer Feb 3
about:"Lifeguards on beach go
overboard." He requested that
anyone with insight, please
respond. I've been an ocean res-
cue lifeguard for over 20 years,
so here;s my answer.
When I first lifeguarded here
in Duval County, right after HS,
The American Red Cross
Volunteer Lifesavings Corps at
Jacksonville Beach, trained and
guarded all of Duval County's
beaches, except Neptune. Now,
each city pays and operates
their own ocean rescue life-
guards; the Navy pays and
maintains their own' guards on
the Navy Base, the City of
Jacksonville has Huguenot and
Hanna Park, Atlantic Beach,
Neptune, and Jacksonville
Beach all train their own life-
guards. So there may be some
different training for
"rookies/recruits/new life-
guards. Only a new or rookie
lifeguard would be" blowing his
whistle and flapping his arms
like a seagull on speed, trying
to get the attention of a swim-
mer."
Since I work at Atlantic and
Jacksonville beaches, I can only
cite and explain our procedures
and training of our lifeguards.
At Jacksonville and Atlantic
Beach we train all our guards to
watch all bathers closely and
especially the young/small peo-
ple that may get in trouble in
the dangerous ocean currents.
When we see a swimmer that is
swimming freestyle and in no
trouble, we don't bother them.
Occasionally, a new rookie life-
guard .ma.yge." worried i-f'_al
es.'mtner goe out,.to6 (a
because most ocean swimmers
stay close to shore. Most life-
guard chairs on the beach have
radios and an experienced
guard will radio to a rookie if he
hears or sees a lifeguard acting
"strangely". A simple "what are
you blowing at? is all we ask in
this situation. The experienced
lifeguard or an officer will then
instruct the rookie what to do
or not do. If the lifeguard has a
true emergency, all you hear is
a short whistle, then you will
see a flag drop, and the life-
guard will be off his/her chair
and go make the rescue. "When
in doubt, GO!" is our motto.
I strongly agree with the
writer that "Mother Nature will
be the only one to decide
where or how long I swim."
All of Duval County is open
beach and you may swim
whenever/where ever you want
and no lifeguard will prevent
you from entering the water.
All our lifeguards are trained to
protect all swimmers and
beachgoers from any hazards in
the ocean or on the beach.
As to all those new
beach/ocean warning flags,
that's what they are designed to
do, warn you of hazardous
ocean conditions. Green is
calm conditions, Yellow is
moderate oceani hazards/cur-
rents, Red is dangerous ocean
conditions, Purple is dangerous
Marine lifein the water, Double
red flags is, yeN as the writer
says "The Water is Closed." The
actual warning states: "Water
Closed to Public." More
detailed explanations of the
flag warning system is placed at
the beach access, about every 5
blocks. If you have any ques-
tions about the ocean condi-
tions just ask the lifeguard.
Since the lifeguards are the
only ones that post the warn-
ing flag, the absent of any
warning flags doesn't mean the
ocean is safe but means there is
no lifeguards on duty. Again
this is only.a warning and only
the Ocean Rescue Captain or
the city official in charge of
*beach safety will have permis-
sion to fly the close water warn-
ing flags. If you still go in the
water when these flags are fly-
ing, we will come to where you
are, usually' in our trucks, and
warn you about the dangerous
ocean. The only time I've seen
the ocean/beach actually closed
and strictly enforced as closed
is when the hurricane was near
us about 8 / 9 years ago. The
only other reason to warn you
to get out of the water or to
come in, when you are obvi-
ously a good swimmer, is when


we see sharks in the ocean.
I agree 100 percent that th(
ocean should be-respected, no
feared.
We will be training nem
ocean rescue lifeguards ir
February at Jacksonville Bead
and March at Atlantic Bead
and I guarantee that if I see an
of our rookies acting like th'
lifeguards you describe their
will ne out of the chair in ar
instant. If you see or think an
of our lifeguards are not acting
professionally or have an'
complaints about them, pleas
tell the officer or Captain of th,
Ocean rescue beach who ar
usually riding in the truck or a
their lifeguard station.

Lifeguards are well

beachgoers except to

I have been a proponent of electoral fair-
ness for some years; I don't envision that
elected officials will be better with single-
member representation, only that they
won't be any worse than what we endured
during the Meserve decade when
Commissioners had two constituencies,
the voters on the east side of town and the
Big Navy lobby.
I don't believe city staff need be
involved in researching the electoral sys-
tem except for city attorney Alan Jensen.
There exists a pool of educated people in
Atlantic Beach, including numerous teach-
ers and lawyers, who can craft a proposal
for the voters to vote on in November.
Mayor Don Wolfson, who deserves cred-
it for campaigning this fall for electoral
reform, appears to be hedging his bets by
proffering a mix of seven district and at-
large representatives.
Unfortunately, Mr. Wolfson's complex
model would continue to dilute the vote
of west Atlantic BeaclA citizens; for exam-
ple, Mr. Wolfson's mix could produce a
Commission comprised of four officehold-
ers residing in Oceanwalk and a single
officeholder residing in Marsh Oaks or the
Button Park area.

Only Commissioner Dezmond Waters
appears to understand how alienating the
present system is for voters on the west
side and how previous Commissions have
turned a blind eye to needs on the west
side.
At-large representation violates some of
the most basic principles of American gov-
ernment and history, including "no taxa-
tion without representation" and "one
person, one vote." In practice, the present
system in AB is tilted in favor of well-off
white elites who live on the east side of
towri and it dilutes the vote of the racially
and ethnically diverse people of modest
means who live on the west side of town.
My proposal is a simple one: four district
seats, following the lines of the present
voting precincts until the 2010 Census,
and a mayor elected at-large who will rep-
resent the interests of the community "as
a whole," which the present at-large sys-
tem clearly does not.
How we get to this structure can be dis-
cussed, but anything less is undemocratic.

To the editor:
It is no surprise that some members of
the Atlantic Beach Commission want to
maintain the status quo regarding the
present. at-large electoral system as evi-
denced in the Feb. 3 Leader story by Jeffrey
e Minton.
)t Commissioner Mike Borno wants to
postpone a Nov. 2006 referendum on sin-
w gle-member districts because he believes
n that voters would be overwhelmed with
h two referenda on the ballot at the same
h time .(the other referendum being about
y building height limits).
e This position represents progress on Mr.
y Borno's part since the last time the issue
n came up he was opposed to any change.
y, And; it is worth remembering that Mr.
g Borno told the audience at the fall 2005
y candidate debate that he wants more par-
e ticipation in local government, which will
e be the case if voices from the west side are
e actually at the table and voting.
t Commissioner Sylvia Simmons also
favors the status quo because of her con-
cerns that the quality of candidates might
v suffer with district representation and
h because city staff already have a full plate
researching a height-limits referendum.


"Status quo does not work


Atlantic Beach could elect 4 commissioners


from district and mayor could run citywide

Nease High has engineering


program on drawing board


by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
Students in St. Johns County)
schools have until Friday to
apply to one of the county's
numerous high school acade-
Smies, school-within-a-school
special programs of study.
At Nease High, attended by
most Ponte Vedra teens, a
mechanical engineering pro-
gram now on the drawing
board will be added to three
established academies at Nease
and another that began last
year.
Funding for the newest
Nease academy and others at
the county's other public high
schools could come from a $1
'million state grant the St.
Johns County School District
has applied for.
"This is very exciting," said
Christian Dickinson, a Nease
assistant principal who is to
head the mechanical engineer-
ing academy. If the grant is
OK'd, "we will be using it to
kick off some of the new acad-
emies," Dickinson said.
The program begun last year
the Academy of
Entertainment, Marketing and
Multimedia was added to'
Nease's established academies:
International Baccalaureate
(IB), early childhood education
and Navy Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corps
(NJROTC). '
"You're talking about very
different interests, very differ-
ent education requirements,
very different commitments of
time and academics," Nease
Principal Linda ,Thomson said
last we&ek 6o 't.l.0se pro-


has a junior ROTC program
with the Air Force.
"Nease is "the 'only school
with an IB program, a
mechanical engineering acade-
my," said Thomson. "There are
other academies at other
schools. But if it's not the acad-
emy that student wants, then
they can come take advantage
of that at Nease."
Students zoned for Nease
High also can apply to one of
the academies given at the
other schools in St. Johns.
Dickinson said that if the
School District gets the grant,
about $200,000 of it will go to
"kick-start our mechanical
engineering program by hav-
ing one drafting class next

Civil War novelist survived Florida


'" The correspondent, pulling
at the other oar, watched the
waves and wondered why helie
was there." Stephen Crane,
from his 1897 short store) "The
Open Boat."

by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Stephen Crane's classic
Civil War novel, "The Red
Badge of Courage," is
required reading for many
10th-grade English students.
Crane was only 24 when
he penned the famous anti-
war novel in 1895. He died
of tuberculosis five years
later, destitute and unsure of
his place in modern litera-,
ture.
* But his work has endured,
evidenced by the fact that
"The Red Badge of Courage"
has never gone out of print..
Although known primarily,
for the war novel, Crane was
also a poet, a newspaper
reporter, a war correspondent,
and the author of "the finest
short stories in literature,"
..according to one of his biog-
raphers. .
The best of those short sto-'
ries, "The Open Boat,"
should be required reading
for area students because of'
its relevance to Jacksonville
history.

Wreck of Commodore
Crane survived the sinking
of the Jacksonville-based
Steamer tug SS Commodore
on New Year's Day, 1897.
Stranded in a 10-foot
dinghy with three other men
for 27 hours in the Atlantic
Ocean, Crane assisted in
rowing the tiny boat to
shore, earning the respect of
the ship's captain.
The frightening experi-
ence, however, would haunt
the intrepid author to his
dying day.
"My husband's brain is
never at rest. He lives over
everything and talks aloud
constantly," said the author's
common-law wife, Cora
Taylor of Jacksonville, in a
letter before Crane's death
on June 5, 1900:
"It is awful to hear him try
to change places in the 'open
boat!' "


I Available from Commercial News Providers"A


'The southern Newport'
Crane arrived in
Jacksonville in mid-
November 1896, checking
into the block-long St. James
Hotel under an assumed
name.
The deception was a com-
mon practice among
reporters who hoped to earn
passage to Cuba'on "fili-
buster" ships out of
Jacksonville.
The seaport was billed as
"the southern Newport" and
"the American Nice," draw-
ing 65,000 tourists a year.
Hired by a New York news-
paper syndicate to cover the
Cuban uprising against
Spain, it took Crane a month
to secure a berth aboard the
coal-burning tugboat SS
Commodore.
The 122-foot vessel was
considered the fastest of the
three Jacksonville "filibuster"
steamers that smuggled arms
and ammunition to Cuba.-
The Commodore's Dec. 31,
1896, gun-running expedi-
tion was no secret to authori-
ties and neither was Crane's
identity. His name was listed
on the ship's manifest,
according to the Jan. 1,
1897, issue of The Florida
Times-Union.
"The first cargo of arms
and ammunition for the
Cuban insurgents ever
cleared regularly by U.S. cus-
tom officials for a Cuban
port left Jacksonville last
night on the steamer
Commodore," the paper
reported.
"Aboard the Commodore
are Stephen Crane and.
Franco Blanco, celebrities in


their special lines. Stephen
Crane is a young and famous
author. He shipped as a sea-
man at a salary of $25 per
month."
It was to be Crane's first
foray into war correspon-;
dence.
The author of "The Red ."
Badge of Courage" was born
six years after the Civil War
and had never served in the
military.
The ill-fated voyage onrthe
Commodore would serve as
a baptism of fire of sorts for
the former military school
cadet and one-time catcher
for the Syracuse University
baseball team.

Waves the hue of slate
Crane wrote two accounts
of the Commodore experi-.
ence.
The first, a detailed, 1,000-
word newspaper article about
the shipwreck, appeared in
print on Jan. 7, 1897,
A 9,000-word, fictionalized..
version of his ordeal, "The
Open Boat," was published
in June 1897 by Scribner's
magazine.
Crane penned both
accounts from his
Jacksonville hotel room at
the St. James and hofrom
Cora's boarding house in
Jacksonville's LaVilla district.
"Cheers greeted the old
Commodore from passing
ship and from the shore,"
wrote Crane in the national-
ly syndicated newspaper
story.
"At Mayport, we changed
our river pilot for a man who
could take her to open sea."
The Commodore ran
aground twice on its way
down the St. Johns River,
apparently rupturing its hull.
The 178-ton steamer took
on water around midnight.
By 3 a.m., Jan. 1, 1897, the
ship had to be abandoned in
high seas off the coast of
Daytona Beach.
In his newspaper account,
Crane described the insuffer-
able heat and steam in the
flooded engine room as "a
scene taken from the middle
kitchen of hades."

tain, the oiler and a steward

IE, A-10 meat. Wilkinson usually
begins the prep work at about
5 a.m. and the pig is finished


cooking about nine hours
later.
He cautions that once the
pig has begun cooking it is
:absolutely necessary to leave
the lid on the cooker closed
so that none of the heat
escapes. After the cooking
time is complete, the meat ig
taken off the bones and
shredded for serving with a
variety of barbecue sauces.
For the pig and other
grilled foods, Wilkinson
prefers to use charcoal.
"It's easier to control the
temperature with a gas grill,,
but the taste is just not the
same," he said.
Grilled fresh seafood is one
of his specialties and Grilled
Shrimp Appetizer is a favorite
recipe for jumbo Mayport
Shrimp.
The dish is similar to one
the couple enjoyed on trip to
South Africa where they
found that grilling is a com-
mon preparation, for many
foods. In this dish, the
shrimp has a smoky flavor
from grilling and then a
touch of sweetness is added
with the apricot sauce'
spooned over top each
shrimp.
Wilkinson prefers a simple
grilled preparation for. fresh
grouper,,mahi, or wahoo.
FHis recipe was inspired by
fish prepared at Captain
Anderson's restaurant in
Panama City, he, said.,
After the fish has finished,
grilling, Wilkinson sprinkles
the filets with salt and pep-
per. He then drizzles lemon
juice, melted butter and olive
oil over the filets and finishes
with a sprinkle of fresh pars-
ley and green onions.
Wilkinson considers
Oysters Rockefeller to be one
of his most popular dishes.
Friends like them so much,
they sometimes ask him to
make a tray of the oysters for
them to serve at parties, he
said.
The recipe for Oysters
Rockefeller came from his
Aunt Gloria and Uncle
Charlie Norwood.
Wilkinson's uncle is a con-
gressman from Augusta, Ga.,
and the recipe was included
.in a congressional cookbook.
Wilkinson said that the
secret to his success with this
appetizer is using small oys-
ters and cutting them in half
or smaller. He finds that peo-
ple enjoy the dish more if the
taste of the oyster does not
dominate the other ingredi-
ents.

Crane: Wife died in Pablo Beach in 19


Cont. from A-9
short story as "the work of a
writer at the height of his
powers."
"In writing "The Open -
Boat," Crane felt compelled to
speak not only for himself but
for his comrades in the
dinghy, to whom he dedicated
the manuscript," added Davis
in "Badge of Courage," a 1998
biography of Crane.
"Although Crane's is the
controlling vision through
which the reader feels what
the men in the dinghy feel,
he keeps himself down,
becoming part of the ensem-
ble of captain, cook, oiler, and
ccqt'espondent. The story is at
once personal and universal,
the orphans in the dinghy
seem as mere specks on the
vast sea, part of a larger cos-
mic picture."
Davis adds that the charac-
ters in Crane's vivid short
story undergo a transforma-
tion: From "babes of the sea"
to "enlightened beings who
can interpret their experi-
ence."
Crane went on to cover the
Greco-Turkish War in 1897
and the Spanish-American
War in 1898, becoming
"indistinguishable," Davis'
said, "from Stephen Crane the
war novelist."
"The Commodore disaster
and trauma in the dinghy col-
ored Crane's introduction to
war, shaping the way he saw
it. His sympathies were with
the wounded and the private
soldier."
Cora Taylor followed Crane
to Greece and was at his side
when he died at age 28 in
Badcnweiler, Germany.


For the Eds


To commemorate
Valentine's Day, children and
their families are invited to
attend an interactive program
of song, dance and storytelling
at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at
the Beaches Branch Library in
Neptune Beach.
Florida singer-songwriter
and storyteller Shana Banana
will bring her puppet,
"Snickles B. Bear," to help her
deliver an hour of entertain-
ment that involves original
music, and songs that she has
taken around the U.S.
The public is invited free of
charge. No reservation is nec-
essary but space is limited.
Call 241.1141 for more infor-
mation.


Crane died broke, despite
the fact that he was paid well
for his newspaper articles. He
got next to nothing for his
book deals, including "The
Red Badge of Courage," which
paid him only a 10 percent
annual royalty, and "no provi-
sions for foreign rights,"
according to Davis' research.
Davis said Crane's short sto-
ries, including "The Open
Boat," earned the novelist
"2.7 cents a word, at a time
when Kipling was earning up
to 23 cents a word."
Cora Taylor returned to
Jacksonville and in 1904 pur-
chased two oceanfront lots in
Pablo Beach, (nowv
Jacksonville Beach), according
to "A Biography of Mrs.
Stephen Crane," by Lillian
Gilkes.
On Sept. 4, 1910, Crane's
common-law wife collapsed
from an apparent stroke and
died alone in her Pablo Beach
residence, with the sound of


10


waves "rolling in from the
borders of infinity" possibly
"the very last sound in her
ears," writes Gilkes.
It was the same reassuring
sound her husband may have
heard as he swam for shore
from the capsized dinghy
some 13 years earlier.
"When he achieved safe
ground he fell, striking the
sand with each particular part
of his body," writes Crane in
the final chapter of "The
Open Boat."
"It was as if he had dropped
from a roof, but the thud was
grateful to him."

Education


Academy: Nease offers four courses


Cont. from A-9
The Academy of
Entertainment, Marketing and
Multimedia, now in its second
year, has about 100 students
enrolled, and more are expect-
ed next year because of the
interest the academy has
drawn.
"You've got all these differ-
ent people working together
on all the different angles for
that business," said Thomson.
"They are doing a lot of
broadcasting and recording
and taping. They put on a
weekly news show. We have a
TV studio and TV cameras and
editing equipment."
TV production teacher Geoff
Stephens took 27 members of
the entertainment academy to:
Los Angeles for a four-day tele-
vision convention that ended


Feb. 4.
Thomson said the trip to
L.A. and Hollywood gives the
teens a chance to see "how the
heart of the multimedia busi-
ness works."
The academy also has a mar-
keting group and computer
design group. The early child-
hood education program is
designed to prepare students
who want to go into education
for preschool or elementary
school or to those who want to
hone their "general parenting
skills," said Thomson. '
Students in the early child-
hood academy prepare lesson
plans for the children who
come to Nease each day.
"They have to teach these
children, they have to provide
activities. And you can imag-
ine the challenge to keep very


young children interested in
whatever it is you're doing,"
said Thomson.
The NJROTC program, given
at Nease since 1993, "attracts a
variety of kids," said Capt.
Robert Young, senior instruc-
tor in the program.
"We have everything from
ESE [special education] kids to
IB kids in our ?program. We
cover the full spectrum.
"The one thing about our
program is it's nationally
ranked," said Young, "which
gives me nominations to all
the service academies."
More information on the
academies is available on the
School District Web site at
(www.stjohns.kl2.fl1.us/acade-
mies) or from middle school
and high school guidance
counselors.

Cont. from A-9
butter


light olive oil
In a saucepan, heat the
apricot preserves until melt-
ed. A little water can be
added to thin the sauce. Set
aside.
Prepare the shrimp by
cleaning and de-veining.
With the shell side down, cut
the shrimp from the base of
the tail to the end.
Make sure you cut through
the meat and shell to butter-
fly the shrimp.
On a charcoal grill, line the
cook top with aluminum foil.
Place the shrimp on the grill
with the shell side down.
Baste the shrimp with a but-
ter and oil blend while the
shrimp are cooking.
This only takes a quick
minute to grill depending on
the size of the shrimp.
Remove the shrimp from


the grill and place on a serv-
ing platter. Spoon the apricot
preserves on top of each
shrimp. Serve.
Directions for cooking a
100 lb. pig
1 approximately 100 lb.
pig, USDA grade dressed and
cleaned
2 20 lb. bags of charcoal
1-2 pkgs. hickory chips
1 large red apple
Use a super cooker grill
that is large enough for a 100
lb. pig to lie down flat.
The night before cooking
the pig, allow the pig to
thaw. The morning of the
BBQ lay the pig on its back,
and using a hatchet split the
backbone from the shoulders
to the hams.
This will allow the pig to
lay flat on top of the grill.
Lay the pig on the grill on
the grass in the yard, and


using a hose wash the pig
thoroughly with water.
Place the charcoal in the
grill and burn it down until
the tops of the coals begin to
turn white.
Spread the coals 80 percent
under the hams and shoul-
ders and 20 percent under
the middle portion of the pig.
Put hickory chips on the
sides of the coals.
Place pig stomach side
down on the grill top.
Cover the ears, feet and
nose with heavy duty alu-
minum foil. Close the grill lid
and do not open until 6
hours have passed.
After 6 hours, open the lid
and allow 1 hour to cool.
Insert the apple into the pig,s
mouth and remove the skin
and the meat is ready for
chopping and serving.
Note: If a pig over 100 lbs.
is used, more charcoal will be
needed to cook thoroughly.

Nease High's Liz Rosenfeld, left, and Port Orange Atlantic guard Janoe Williams scramble for a loose ball during action last Saturday night in the District 5-4A girls basketball championship game
played at Pedr Menendez High School. The Panthers fell to the Sharks, 58-44, and will travel to Ocala Westport Thursday in the regional quarterfinal.




Cold shooting dooms Nease in district final


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER

Early pressure defense put the Nease girls bas-
ketball team in a hole it couldn't climb out of as
the Lady Panthers met Port Orange Atlantic
Saturday for the District 5-4A championship.
Nease led just once, 3-2, and lost to an aggres-
sive Sharks team 58-44 on what was a cold-
shooting night for the Panthers.
Nease made just three baskets in the first half.
Senior co-captain Kate Russi, who has an at-
large bid for the north all-star team for the FACA
All-Star Game, led the team with 15 points.
Russi scored 12 of her points in the second
half, including three consecutive answering-"
buckets near the end of the final p dtieOd
"Now we have to travel like four hours," said
Russi, referring to Thursday's playoff game at
Ocala Westport. "Would rather have the home
crowd. Always play better with it. Hopefully we
can go out and just take it in their house."
Nease, which scored just six points in the first


quarter and trailed 21-16 at the half, was
outscored by Atlantic 37-28 after intermission.
"We were like 3-for-15 first half," Russi said of
Nease's cold-shooting night. "We knew what we
needed to do. We got their key .
starters with three fouls in the
first half. Needed to feed the
inside. Didn't do it, didn't take
care of it."
Most of Nease's first-half ':
points came from the free-throw
line, where the Panthers canned
nine of 18'opportunities.
"We'd rather be 70, 65 [per-
cent]. We've got to put some
more in," Russi said of the
team's performance at the chari-
tl stripe. SHARKS
She said Nease coach Sherri
Anthony emphasized discipline PANTHER
in her post-game pep talk.
"Key thing -with us has always been disci-
pline," said Russi. "And tonight we just didn't
show it on defense. They took advantage of it. A


lot of easy layups in the box.
"So basically, she was just like, discipline, we
need to carry it over to regional."

bility exists Nease and Atlantic
/ could meet in the Region 2 final
"" Feb. 18.
/ Anthony, recently named
^/ Class 4A coach of the year for
the north region, has had a'
team in a similar position
before, and shared that story.
The tale was about the 200Q
58 team, which followed Ne-Ase'',
1999 championship season.
44 "In 2000 we lost our district
tournament to Fletcher," said
Anthony. "Had one returning senior from the
state championship team. We had to go to Fort
Walton Beach, to play a team that had only lost


one game all season.
"We went all the way to Fort Walton Beach,
and beat them. And Fletcher lost at home," she
said. "They were the district champions, but
that's as far as it went."
Anthony concluded her story by saying, "This
is a longer road, a harder road to take. But it's
still a road."
The Nease coach lamented her team's shoot-
ing percentage. "What a night to go cold," she
said.
Anthony said she was proud of the Panthers
(19-8), a team most thought wouldn't go far this
season.
"Nobody would have figured that. You lose
five seniors. And now you have four seniors,
Only two of which played at all last year. People
"don't figure you're going to be this situation,"
she said, then added to what she told her team.
"I said, 'This is kind of your David and
Goliath. You had a chance tonight to do some-
" thing really special. [It] didn't work out, because
shots weren't falling. But if those same shots are
there next Thursday, it's a different game.'"


Girls return to Final Four


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
The Nease girls soccer team
knows the way to Lockhart
Stadium, having won last
year's 4A state championship
in the Fort Lauderdale facility.
The Panthers punched their
ticket for a return trip with a 2-
1 victory over St. Augustine
last Friday night in a rain-
soaked regional final.
Two goals by sophomore
outside mid Casey' Eckstein,
replacing the injured Lauren
Crossan, put Nease on the road
to another Final Four berth.
"I1 never thought I'd look for-
ward to a five-hour bus ride,
but I'm looking forward to
that, relaxing for a change,"
said Nease coach Dave
Silverberg, under whom the
Panthers have won the 2002
and 2005 state titles.
The 25-2-2 Panthers meet
20-4-3 Pensacola Washington
Friday in a state semifinal that
starts at 5 p.m. The 2006 state
championship match will be
played Saturday.
"It was probably one of the
most exciting nights of my life,
just because I've never played
in this important a game
before," said Eckstein, whose
first goal came at 17:51 of the
first half when the ball popped
out of St. Augustine goalkeeper
Desiree Sloat's hands.
"We've been working on my
following up and pressuring at
practice," said Eckstein. "That's
what I did. Just came through.
I charged the defender and it
bobbled out. The keeper hit it
and I just followed it."
Eckstein's goal tied the game
after Jackets attacker Laura Ray
headed a corner kick into the
back of the net at 36:35 of the
opening period. Alessa Smolek
took the corner kick for St.
Augustine, and the goal ended
a string of five consecutive
Panthers shutout victories.
Nease goalkeeper Catherine
O'Donnell said she couldn't
say for print what her thoughts

were after the goal was scored.
But explained what happened.
"It was a cross. They got it
on a set piece," said
O'Donnell. "Somehow Laura
was open. It was a header,
upper 90 [quadrant of the
net]. Almost impossible to
save."


Eckstein scored her winning
goal at 33:25 of the second
half, after which Nease faced

sure in addition to heavier
rain and the ever-looming
threat of lightning.
O'Donnell was especially
happy to see Eckstein's tying


tally.
"She stepped it up tonight
for Lauren Crossan," said
O'Donnell, referring to an
ankle injury Crossan suffered
in Nease's semifinal victory'
last week over Orlando's
,Bishop Moore. "We knew
someone was going to step up,
we just didn't know who.
Casey happened to be the per-
son to help us out."
The reality of going to the
Final Four again appeals to the
Panthers and their coach.
"When you win, I'm happy
the game was like this,
because they made us earn it,"
said Silverberg "It showed
how bad our girls wanted it,
because they didn't give it to
us. They scored early, and we
kept coming at them. We were
relentless."
"I'm excited," O'Donnell
said of her first trip to a Final
Four. "Just want to see what it

The Nease boys basketball
team prepared for the upcom-

by closing out its regular sea-

The win over Bolles was a

But Bolles came back in the
fourth period against mainly
Panther reserves. The Bulldogs
outscored Nease 30-13 in the
last quarter.
Beech was able to dear his
bench against "Bolles last
Thursday which was senior

first half, the underclassmen

couple of seniors making
cameos late in thiegame.
"It was fun to be able to get a

Paterick. "We can't wait to get

NOTE: Danny Russell, who
started the second half of the
Bolles game with an underclass
squad, fouled out in less than
five minutes, which one Nease
parent thought might be a
school record for shortest peri-
od of time to foul out.

Old pros manage some pretty nice catches
pro some 1.^ ** r *


F-ishing conditions weren't
the best last week but a
few of the old pros man-
aged some pretty nice catches.
Captain George Strate had a
full 40-man crew as he left the
dock Wednesday morning arnd
everybody had fish when they
returned in the afternoon.
Snapper, including 14 genuine
and mangrove, a 35-poufind
cobia and a 45-pound amber-I
jack with everyone limiting
out on two- to three-pound
beeliners.
Matt Hamilton had three
mangroves to 11 pounds in his
cooler along with his limit of
two- to three-pound beeliners.
Jonathan Moran weighed in a'
45-pound amberjack and lots'
of fat beeliners.
Scott Stevens made it to the
M.R. bottom on Thursday


the Carrier Basin. Larry and
Bobbie Gomer put their fid-
dlers down in about 20 feet of
water and easily caught their.
limit of sheepshead.. On
Another trip, Larry and George
.Atelevich fished the same gen-
eral atea and caught their limit
of 30 sheepshead.
..Last Wednesday, John
Dyrssen and Dwight Hibbard'
had to work hard in their creek
""to pickup five redbass and a.
WIMPY SUTON flounder using- live shriinp
under a float.
FISHING LEADER Capt Butch Garvin
) launched his Early Times for a,
short trip not far from the
.morning and it didn't take ferry slip Wednesday morning
him long to box three grey and caught 20 speckled trout
grouper, a pair of snapper and and' .three reds. All were
two mangrove snapper. released.
Larry "Fishman" Finch spent James Gergley and Matt

friends along the rocks near early' Monday morning and


found plenty of action. They
caught 25 redbass to 23 inch-

trout from aboard Matt's
Pathfinder.
On Wednesday morning,
James and Jack Ross on the
Hepd Hunter caught, 15 red-
bass to 22 inches, a flounder
and a trout.,
On the Jacksonville Beach
Pier, ,a few decent 'catches of
whiting were reported off the
very end. Small blues and yel-
lowmouth are beginning to
show but the Pier rails weren't
crowded last week. The best
report came from James
McCall who found the whiting
biting good out toward the
very end of the pier on
Saturday and Sunday morn-
ing. He caught 30.
, The best whiting catches last
week came from ol' pro Capt.
David King. Anchored off the
redtops in 40 feet of water, he
caught nearly 100 whiting on
each of three trips last week.
Until the water warms a little,/
the surf fishermen who can
throw the farthest will pick up
the best catches.
Capt. Kirk Waltz, on his
Enterprise, with Mark Collins
and leff Lageman at the jetties,
caught eight ringtails, a
sheepshead and a seabass.
Capt. Dave Sipler and Ken
Hubbard fished the surf at P.V.
and brought 15 whiting up on
the sand.
Al Wiltshire and and Carlin
Young fished the surf at 16th
Avenue South last Tuesday and
caught 50 whiting.
Capt. Chris Rooney, John
Goodling, William Goodling

they caught a 35-pound cobia,
a 28-pound grouper, eight

The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader February 8, 2006


SOCCER: Back to the Final Four


Continued from page B1
feels like to play in the Final
Four and play, hopefully, for a
state championship."
"I'm really excited," said
Jamie Silverberg, of her return
trip to Fort Lauderdale. "This
was a really tough game. St.
Augustine took it to us. They
made it a challenge for us. We
just fought to the end. It could
have been anyone's game, but
it was ours. I think we're all
excited to go to the next step
and be back there again.
"This year's a different team,"
she said "\We don't have one or
two [key] players. Everyone's in,
it together. Everyone has a role,
and all 11 players on the field
give it everything they have.
"I think it's a great accom-
plishment getting there. We
hope to do it again," said Silver-


berg.
"I'm really excited," Eckstein
said about her first trip. "Last
year I got to be with varsity, but
I wasn't on the team [that went
to the Final Four]. So it's really
exciting to actually be on the
team this year, and maybe be a
part of the win."
St. Augustine coach Micah
Culkey thought the result
could have gone the other way.
"Both goals were weather
goals, I thought, for them. Our
keeper usually handles that
first one. Kind of slipped off
her hands," said Culkey, who
called Nease "very physical"
and "the best team we play
every' year.
"They controlled the game a
lot, but we did a great job in
the second half. We stood up in
the last 15 or 20 minutes, put a
lot of pressure on them, had


some opportunities."
One of those opportunities, a
Ray shot blocked by O'Donnell
at 25:45 of the second half,
rolled tantalizingly across the
open Nease goalmouth.
"We're going to be back next
year. Most everybody's coming
back," Culkeysaid of his young
team, which has three seniors,
three freshmen and eight soph-
omores.
Across the field, Nease loses
eight seniors.
"We're aware of that," said
Culkey. "But they're good
every year. Coach Silverberg
does a great job. I hope they go
all the way."
Last year's Nease regional
final win came at Titusxille.
The Panthers went on to beat
Newsome of Lithia in the semi-
final, then Tallahassee Chiles
for the 4A title.


SHARK ATTACK


Steelers big-game experience


the difference in Super Bowl


F football championship
game's usually come dow
to "them what's been
there and knows the ropes"
over "them who hasn't." That
was the story in Super Bowl XL
just as it's been for years.
The Seattle Seahawks were
new at this game in which
the world's crown was at stake
- and they had to play in
front of millions of television
viewers in a spectacular unpar-
alleled in sports. Bounce ball
addicts can talk about the NBA
fiolics and March Madness all
they want, but nothing match-
es the Super Bowl, even if it's
gone hom being just a football
game between the NFL's best
teams to what TV has turned
into a hoochie-coochie show.
Worse when the hoochie-
coochies are men.
The Seahawks lost to the
Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-10, but
they lost more than the game.
They lost face because it could
just as well have been Seattle
winning by that score.
The Seahawks lost to the
Jaguars at Alltel Stadium to
open the season, but they
could blame that on
Jacksonville's heat. Sunday
night's heat came not from
Detroit's icy blasts, but from
the pressure of what was at
stake.
While the Seahawks were


missing opportunities, the
Steelers were up to their old
tricks with runs, interceptions
and trick plays.
Jaguars fans used to hate
coach Bill Cowher when he
brought his team to town.
There was something evil in
his look, but we have to admit
he's one of the outstanding
coaches the NFL has seen in its
history. Sure, Cowher has lost
title games before this one, but
how many coaches have
stayed at the helm for 14
years? Of course, it helps if
you're working for owners like
the Rooneys, but how many
owners can you name like the
late Art Rooney and his fami-
I.y?
The battle bf qUlar irB'cks
also came down to youth vs.


experience. Only this time,
youth won.
In just his second NFL sea-
son, the Steelers' Ben
Roethlisberger out-duelled
Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck even
without passing for a TD, and
getting 123 yards to the loser's
273 because he kept the ship
steady. Hasselbeck had to over-
come penalties and at times
indecision. Plus a big intercep-
tion.
It was a fitting retirement
game for Jerome Bettis, who
finally "brought a champi-
onship back to Pittsburgh,"
and doing it in his hometown
of Detroit.
The game's fMVP,
Pittsburgh's Hines Ward, out-
did Seahawks famed running
back Shaun Alexander, who
ripped off 95 yards in 20 trips,
but no TDs. The Steelers'
alphabet-name QB did better
than that when he squirmed
over by fingernails for his
team's first touchdown.
Roethlisberger may become
one of the greats like Terry
Bradshaw, Joe Montana and
John Elway of the past and
Peyton Manning, Tom Brady
and, of course, Byron Leftwich
of the present. Who knows?
But one thing Roethlisberger
has that they cannot take away
is his first Super Bowl victory.
Tl'H pits the vyiihg QB in a
special class.

Panthers forward Molly Manning, left, collides with Port Orange Atlantic's Aisha Gillis as
Manning heads upcourt during the District 5-4A championship game Saturday at Pedro
Menendez High. Gillis was whistled for a foul on the play.
