BY LAURI FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
A new $15 million commu-
nications system that would
allow the St. Johns County Fire
and Rescue Department to talk
with other emergency agencies
via radios is past due, according
to Fire Chief Bobby Hall.
In January 2003, an analysis
of the communications system
for the department concluded
that more than half of its radio
and dispatch equipment was
obsolete.
Now, at a time when emer-
gencies such as Hurricane
Katrina may threaten Florida's
coast, Hall is preparing to ask
the Board of County' Tassie Beard, at her home in Vicar's

Hearing delayed
Opponents ask

- rezoning reply
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF \\'WRTER
At the request of lawyers seeking
more time to prepare their argu-
ments, a hearing to consider the
rezoning of an oceanfront lot at 829
Ponte Vedra Blvd. was postponed
Monday.
The owner of the 200-foot-wide lot
is seeking to have it rezoned from R-
1-A, which requires a minimum
frontage of 150 feet for a home, to R-
1-B, which requires only 100 feet of
frontage.
According to Rachael Bennett, sen-
ior planner with England-Thims and
Miller, the firm representing the
owner, two single family homes
would be built on the lots one for
the owner and one for his business
colleague.
In Monday's meeting of the Ponte
Vedra Zoning and Adjustment Board,
lawyers Brenna Durden and Sid
Ansbacher, who represent residents
opposing'.the., rezoning, requested
more time to collect court case files
and other documents to support their
cases.
Board chair Robert Metcalf agreed
that the board should'see all the rele-
vant information
"1 think to do our job right we need
to see the same information that they%
see," NMetcalf told other members of
the board Monday.
The application to divide the parcel
was submitted in June for review by
county staff, but Durden said no
neighbors were informed about it.
Signs announcing Monday's hear-
ing with the Ponte Vedia Zoning and
Adjustment Board were posted in mid
.January, about 20 days before the
board's meeting.
The signs must be posted at least 15
days.before a hearing to comply with
Florida law, county planner Da\-id
Harrell said in Monday's meeting.

Patrols
eyed for
waterway
in Valley
By' KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
The board of the Palm Valley Community
Association wants the St. Johns County
Sheriff's Office to step up enforcement on the
Intracoastal Waterway, where a no-wake zone
had been suggested by some residents.
The board also wants the St. Johns County
Commission to ask the state for informational
signs to be posted along the Intracoastal in
Palm Valley, with the goal of slowing boats and
calming wakes.
Informational signs saying, for example,
"Watch your wake narrow channel," would
not be enforceable, as would regulatory signs
such as "no wake," said Greg Leonard, presi-
dent of the association.
"There are legitimate issues here, but it is
clear there is no basis for regulatory signs ... at
this time," Leonard said at Monday's meeting
of the association.
Leonard referred to last month's association
meeting at Landrum Middle School, when res-
idents opposed to a no-wake zone in Palm
Valley far outnumbered those in favor.
A representative of the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission, which
would look at boating accident statistics when
considering a no-wake zone, said at that meet-
ing that the number of accidents in Palm
Valley is considered low.
The commission has reports of four acci-
dents in the past three years on the waterway
in Palm Valley.
But the commission also knows that increas-
ing development will worsen conditions on
the Intracoastal, Leonard said at the meeting
held at the Palm Valley Community Center on
Canal Boulevard.
To keep statistics on waterway incidents in
Palm Valley, the Palm Valley Community
Association board plans to ask Sheriff David
Shoar to assign a "point person" to accept and
keep track of data.
"The more information we gather over time,
the more we can request their presence," said
Nels Frostenson, a temporary board member.
The Sheriff's Office has one boat for
patrolling all waterways in St. Johns County,
Leonard said.
"There's quite a bit of water in St. Johns 6
County," he said. "One boat is only slightly
better than nothing."
Contacted Tuesday, Kevin Kelshaw,
spokesman for the St. Johns County Sheriff's

STAFF I'RITTER
With temperatures dropping
into the 30s, some Beaches area
families were forced to sleep in
their vehicles and others in
tents at Hanna Park Monday
night as they have been evicted
from their homes along
Mayport Road "to make way for
high-priced condos," according
to representatives from a group
of local agencies attempting to
help the families relocate.
Some of the representatives
from the recently formed
Beaches Housing Coalition
attended Monday night's
Atlantic Beach City,
Commission meeting and
pleaded for the city's elected
officials to help the people,
some of whom are Navy fami-
lies.
"There are families tonight
out at Hanna Park sleeping in
tents," said Cindy Funkhouser,
Executive Director for the
Beaches Emergency Assistance
Ministry (BEAfM) a not for
profit agency who has teamed
with other local agencies to
address the problem.
Toni Sable of the Beaches
Neighborhood Partnership for
the Protection of Children -
another agency which has
joined the coalition said she is
receiving numerous calls each
day from parents with young
children that don't know what
to do.
"I've got people living in cars
right now. They have children
going to school tomorrow,"
Sable said, adding that teachers
at the schools are struggling
with whether they should call
the Department of Children and
Families.
"They're [the teachers] saving
'what do I do about this?' And
I'm telling them to give the par-
ents a chance to fix the problem
... Because if the children are
homeless [in this instance], they
can't help that."
Within the last six months
hundreds of low-income fami-
lies have been forced out of their
residences along Mayport Road
and adjacent areas due to their
apartment complexes and
mobile home parks being
bought by developers who plan
to construct upscale condomini-
ums and office and retail com-
plexes. :
According to the coalition,
the' apartment complexes and
mobile home parks which have
been or are in the process of
evicting its residents are:
*The Buccaneer Mobile
Home Park 100 residences.

Radios: $15 million is price tag
Cont. from A-i
"It's just too real, living on
the coast," Hall told a room
full of community leaders at
Monday's St. Johns County
Civic Association Roundtable
meeting in St. Augustine.
"And if that day comes we
will not be able to talk to each
other."
Hall described a recent situa-
tion in which communication
between agencies would have
helped: Hall had responded to
a traffic accident but .was
unable to communicate with a
St. Johns County Sheriff's
deputy directing traffic a quar-
ter mile away.
Hall said he finally had to
walk down the road to tell the
officer to close a traffic lane,
then walk back to the scene of
the accident.
With the Sheriff's Office and
the Fire Department using dif-
ferent communication and dis-
patch systems, personnel in
each department cannot
directly communicate through
their radios at an emergency
scene.
Instead, deputies and fire
fighters must contact their dis-
patchers at their respective sta-
tions to send a message to the
other department.
This message-relaying sys-
tern doesn't always work, Hall
said.
"The success or failure of any
operation depends on the abil-
.ity of the emergency respon-
ders to communicate, and in
St. Johns County we cannot do
that,"he said.
Officials from every depart-
ment in the county that relies
on radio communications have
been working on the feasibility
of providing such an Intergov-
ernmental communications
system, Hall said.
The next step, according to
Hall, is for county commission-
ers to decide whether the
county can come up with the
funding.
"The board has to make the
decision on how they want to
move forward," Hall said.
Hall is planning to make a
presentation to commissioners
in upcoming months on the
master plan that was devel-
oped in 2003 for the Fire
Department.
The master plan includes
plans to replace and relocate
some of the existing fire sta-
tions to provide better
response times.
One of those is Station 9 just
south of the Guana River dam
off State Road ALA south of
'Ponte Vedra, scheduled to be
.replaced this year.
!The master plan also
includes a new Fire Rescue
Headquarters on eight acres in
"St. Augustine donated by the
St. Johns County School Board.
In addition, Hall said the Fire
Department staff will need to
be doubled within the next
five to seven years,' adding
another 200 firefighters.
Commissioner Bruce
Maguire of Ponte Vedra said
Tuesday that he supports the
concept of improving commu-
nications between county
departments, but he's not sure
how it would be funded.
"If you look at the potential
complications [of the current
system]. the first question
you come up with is 'why
not?'" Maguire said.
"There's no doubt that the
system is needed," he said, but.
"where do we get the money,
from?"
Commissioner Ben Rich said
he would be more inclined to
approve such a system if it
were needed to meet state or,
federal requirements and were
accompanied with state or fed-
eral funding.

On February 14, Gene and Cindy Grimmius, from left, co-chairs of the Plantation/Tom
Bush BMW Charity Event; presented a check for $13,000 to Mission House. Accepting the
check are Bill Tevepaugh, president of the Board of Directors of Mission House, and Jan
Flager, executive director of Mission House. "The Plantation members participated with
great enthusiasm: to give something back to the community," said Gene Grimmius.
"Mission House was selected for the good work it does, for the less fortunate members of
our community." Mission House, located at 800 Shetter Avenue in Jacksonville Beach, has
assisted over 10,000 men, women, and children since serving its first meal in 1~997,
according to the facility.

Funkhouser said a total of
649 low-income families will
lose their homes over 2,000
Beaches area residents.
And she said that some are
being evicted with as little as
30 days notice and they don't
have the money to move any-
where else in the area.
"The problem along the
Mayport Road Corridor is over-
whelming," Funkhouser said,
adding that there is no longer
:any available affordable hous-
ing at the Beach for the:6fllrfi-
-ies to mov:. '"Thexi h vlritv o
money to finance a move ...
even if they had the money,
there is no place to move in
this community."
"They are not only being
forced out of their homes, but
out of their communities as
well."
Sable said Tuesday that she is
upset because the apartment
complexes' management and
local officials knew about the
sales but did little to notify the
residents.
"People knew that this was
going to happen but then did-
n't tell the people," she said.
"Atlantic Arms [Apartment's
residents] did not find out
about it [being sold] until it
was printed in the paper."
Sable said she is frustrated
because she helped relocate
many people who were evicted
from the Palms Apartments
last year move into other apart-
ments which are now closing.
"I moved people from the
L3nmsi [Apartmgnts] torfakeside
,L[q .bile,,1Home ,Park] -and,.to
Nautica Point [Apartments]
and now they haven't even
been there a year and they're
closed downn" Sable said. "I've,
got people calling me asking
"What do I do now?"
"We have people that
absolutely, positively have no
idea where to go or what to
do."
Sable, who served in the mil-
itary, said the the Navy should
have done more to help its
families avoid moving into the
apartments which were being
eyed for development changes.
"The military should have
been made aware [of the devel-
opment plans] six months ago.
They could have told the fami-
lies not to move into those
apartments," she said.
She said Mayport Navy
Station was contacted by
Atlantic Beach city officials.
Tuesday morning and that,
Mayport officials told them
there are approximately 300
-housing units on base which
'ae "open," but are not afford-
able to all military members.
Sable said she is frustrated
that local officials are not
'doing more to help the fami-
lies.
"If you don't want poor peo-
ple at the beach that's fine,"
she -said. "It sucks. But then'
.help me get them off the
beach."
,Atlantic Beach Mayor Don
Wolfson at Monday's meeting
said many of the residences in
question are located in
Jacksonville, outside Atlantic
Beach city limits, ianid that the'
county must.be made aware of
the problem.
"We have our hands tied. We
can take care of what we can
take care of .in our area,"
-Wolfson said.-
He told the group that he
will contact Jacksonville Mayor
John Peyton and other county
officials to make them aware of
the issues,
"We will get attention to the

History museum to open March 7
FROM SIT.FF
A dream of Jean McCormick
of Ponte Vedra Beach is about
to become a reality, residents of
Palm \alley were told Monday.
"lean's dream has finally
come true," Holly Beasley,
executive director of the
Beaches Area Historical Society
(BAHSi, said at the monthly
meeting of the Palm Valley
Community Association.
The dream, Beaslev said, is
the 12,097-square-foot BAHS
museum and its park, which
together occupy about three
blocks north of Beach
Boulevard and %west of Third
Street in Jacksonville Beach.
The two-story structure, with
a permanent exhibit displaying
photographs, artifacts and
other two- and three-dimen-
sional bits of memorabilia, is
,scheduled to open March 7,
Beasley said. '
McCormick is a founder of
the BAHS and remains an
active member of the board,
doing volunteer work several
times a week, Beasley said.
The historical society is a
repository for the history of six
Beaches communities, Beasley
said: Mayport, Atlantic Beach,
Neptune Beach, Jacksonville
Beach, Palm Valley and Ponte
Vedra.
The permanent display will
feature bits of history "that
make each of these communi-
ties unique," she said.
Annual membership fees are
$30 for individuals and $50 for
families, she said. Moms with
children age 10 and under will
be allowed free entry to the
train display once they have
paid a $5 admission, she said.
Admission will be $5 for
adults, $4 for those 65 and
older, $3 for ages 6 to 17 and
free for agej5 and under.
The museum will be open 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through
Saturday and 12:30 p.m. to
4:30 p.m. Sunday, she said.
829:
At the end of the meeting,
however, several board mem-
bers said they felt that 15 days
isn't enough time.
Those board members asked.
Harrell to look into extending
the required notification to 30
days.
Property owners near the
parcel in question say allowing
two homes where one exists
could set a bad precedent.
Nearby lots in both directions
are at least 150 feet wide.
County staff, the Ponte
Vedra Municipal Service
District and the Ponte Vedra
Community Association have
opposed the rezoning.

take whatever improvements
we have for our pending road
projects in the GJP.,
Our City Council has always
had strong representation
from the developer and real

impact fees becomes' a passing
remark, despite'e"very other
county having one to assist in,
proper road building in a time-

institute impact fees if we're
serious about controlled
growth of our highways, yet
the Council ignores any men-
tion of impact -fees which
might slow growth to match
the ongoing developments.
Perhaps we should have the
real estate industry and devel-

Legion
thanks
to the
Freedom
Car
T he American Legion may
be welcoming legions of
new members, according.
to Jerick Johnson. I chatted
with him on Saturday,
February 11, while he visited
Legion Post 316 in Atlantic
Beach.
He's the driver of a new
competitor in NASCAR auto
racing, dubbed, appropriately,
the Freedom Car and num-
bered 76 in honor of the year,
1776, that landmark in U.S.
history. Painted red, white,
and blue, the car will be rac-
ing as the result of a unique
partnership, between the
American Legion and Team
Johnson MNotorsports. The
Legion is providing no up-
front money for its sponsor-
ship. Support of the car is
coming from purchase of sou-
venir merchandise; e.g., T-
shirts, hats, clocks, window
stickers. Available items are
shown on the Internet at
www.emblem.legion.org.
Jerick is predicting that the
Legion will benefit by acquir-
ing new members out of the
75 million NASCAR fans, since
many are veterans or would be
otherwise eligible. He himself
is a member of the Sons of the
American Legion. His father,
Jack Johnson, is a former race-
track operator and is the
owner of Team Johnson
Motorsports. Regarding the
sponsorship tie-in, the elder
Johnson has said, "Wartime-
era veterans of all ages have
shown support and enthusi-
asm for NASCAR as dedicated
fans. Sponsoring #76, The
American Legion Freedom Car,
is our way of saying 'thank
you' for serving our great
country and for their contin-
ued support of this great
American pastime." ,
Before the Freedom Car pro-
gram began, Jerick had already
established himself promi-
nently among racecar drivers.
When I mentioned reading
about his successes, he con-
firmed it. "I did well. I won'
three track championships
back in the Midwest."
One of the sites he compet-
ed at was the Mizzou
Speedway in Missouri, owned
by his dad, When he told me
this, I remarked that the name
sounded Japanese and won-
dered if the Japanese were tak-
ing over car racing, too. He
laughed and pointed out that
the title is an abbreviation for
Missouri. Hey, wadda I know?
I'm originally from New
Joisey.
Reportedly, the Freedom Car
is quite an expensive and
macho machine, with a 660
horsepower engine and a top
speed of 195 MPH. I got a lit-
tle antsy while waiting at Post
316 for Jerick and his team-
mates to arrive. Hearing
sirens, I was relieved to learn
that the car collision out front
didn't involve his. As a con-
genital worrywart, I asked him
if he needed auto insurance
on it. He laughed again..

Target begins 8-month-long expansion
by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
After nearly two years .of planning,
Target will close its garden center and food
court Sunday to 'prepare for a 17,000-
square-foot expansion to the retail store at
AIA andj. Turner Butler Boulevard. I
The $7 million expansion will decrease
the size of the existing garden center from
7,000 to approximately'6,000-square-feet,
utilizing the remaining space to complete-
ly remodel'the interior including new ceil-
ings, flooring and shelves to equal the size
of the full-line stores.
Manager Chrissy Sullivan Tuesday called
'the project a standard Target expansion
that while increasing the floor space from
630,000-square-feet to 647,000-square-feet
will also allow the store to offer, a wider
range of products. '
The City Council approved the develop-
ment order modification in. May, 2004 to
allow Target to move forward with its
expansion plans.
Target is located in the Southend
Redevelopment Area Development of
Regional Impact (DRI) which regulates the
amount of commercial square footage for
all development in the district.
City officials also amended the Planied
Unit Development (PUD) for the Marsh
Landing Parkway shopping center to
accommodate the additional square
footage.
The council originally denied a request
for DRI modification because it was con-

nected to a request to' move Home Depot
into the former KMart location in South
Beach Plaza just north of the Target site.
Because both projects exist within the
Southend DRI, city planners combined
both projects to avoid having to address
the DRI twice. The HOme Depot project
was rejected, however, forcing Target offi-'
cials to resubmit their request separate of
Home Depot.
Opponents of both projects cited con-
cerns of increased traffic and the impact,
on the already congested A1A.
Traffic engineer Bill Schilling 'using
FDOT-approved software said the expan-
sion will add 52 new trips equivalent to 26
cars entering and exiting the shopping
center during the P.M. peak hour.

GUEST COLUMNIST
Fast connections a
must in rural areas
E ery time i get an e-
mail from my mother, I
am flabbergasted by the
wonder of technology.
S My mother used to type
: for a living. She loves to
type, and yet, just like most
of us, this computer world
left her and about 400 mil-
lion of the rest of us in a
state of panic.
I still panic, for crying out
loud.
Every morning before I
turn on the computer, I get
on both knees, light a can-
dle and gently run my fin-
gers over the keyboard as a
kind of technology caress
hoping that my computer
will turn back on.
I've taught my mother
how to do this as well, only
she thinks you have to do
this in order to turn on the
computer. I did not want to
take any chances with the
computer gods, so OK, I lied,
but at least she can e-mail
me.
Actually, most of the e-
mails I get from my mother
are complaints about things
thatpop up on her screen,
don't print, print wrong,
warning signs that a virus
plough through her comput-
er or a connection that is so
slow she'd be better off typ-
ing and mailing a note.
The other day, I drove
over to where they live (they
do have flush toilets, by the
way) to help her update her
virus protection.
This was a two-martini
job. It was also a wake-up
call. Note to self: Never
move into a rural area where
you cannot get a fast con-
nection.
The martinis were gin
martinis because this was a
big job. For smaller jobs, like
deleting files of crapola,
helping her open a photo-
graph of yet another place
she will never be able to see,
and notifying a few thou-
sand of the other virus pro-
tection companies that we
are not going to renew any-
thing, I usually have vodka.
Vodka is for the easy jobs,
and sometimes, when I am
just taking a peek and mak-
ing certain she has enough
candles to light and that
r she'd dusted the computer
properly, I just have a nice
pinot grigio.
Actually getting the com-
puter into the house proves
that modern miracles do
exist.
My brothers, sister and I
started suggesting years ago
that it would be a great way
to see the world if they
couldn't leave home, stay in
contact with friends, and try
to appear hip.
Six years later, and count-
less trips to the liquor store,
we succeeded, and truth be
told, my mother does pretty
darn well, and my father is
now at least saying the
word, computer, and he
makes the ice cubes.
S Actually, I think it was
*peer pressure. My mom's
girlfriends were e-mailing
each other, and she didn't
want to miss anything.
Lately, I've been leaving
my cell phone on the table,
right next to the wine bot-
tie, when I, visit.
It's a start, don't you
think? '
I'd say a cell phone set-up
is worth what? Maybe a 12-
pack of really dark micro-
beer.

Once upon a time
there were four
little children
whose dad went
to a land far, far
away to fight in a war called
Vietnam.
So begins the story of the
Michalove children, a story
that wound its way to Ocean
Palms Elementary School
this week, when the dad
who went to war now the
grandfather of nine read
aloud some tales of the four
little children.
The tales are contained in
a book published in 2005, 35
years after they first grew
from the fertile mind of
Larry Michalove, a retired
Air Force officer and father
of the four little children.
"I've always told stories to
my kids," Mlichalove, 73,

Freedman, now lives in
Ponte Vedra Beach with a
husband and two children of
her own.
"All four children are in all
the stories," Freedman said
in a telephone interview.
Letters from Thailand
The stories, created by
Michalove in 1970 .nd 1971,
were contained in his letters
from Thailand to his family
outside Birmingham, Ala.
"He would write every
single day," said his wife,
Sybil Michalove, who saved
all the letters.
About once a week, she
said, a letter
ehilrepn would con-
le tain a story

dren.
"Once a

tales.

a tot when her dad was navi-

that flew into Vietnam from
Ubon, Thailand.
The mission of the 16th
Special Operations Squadron
iSOS) was to stop enemy
trucks on the Ho Chi Minh
Trail, which was used to
transport men and supplies
from North Vietnam to the
battlefields of South
Vietnam.
But Michalove took on
another mission keeping
in touch with his children,
ages 2 to 9-1/2, through
magical adventures under
the sea, on top of the world
and points in between.
A "magical character"
named Ramore "took them
on all their adventures and
watched over them while
their father was away at
war," Freedman said.
'*.qe were, po@tamfe;co i
s.'aTnts,--: -.a" and-jfl-'vas-'al-'

Bound for safe keeping
The tales remained folded
up in Michalove's letters
until ,1986, when they were
copied and bound into four
green vinyl keepsake books
- one for each of the sib-
lings.
Then about two years ago,
after David's wife had been
reading the stories to their
child Sarah Michalove, the
author was invited to read
some of the tales in Sarah's
kindergarten class.
At the suggestion of the
kindergarten teacher,
Michalove put the stories
into a book, which was self-
published last year.
"I did it because a teacher
in Atlanta encouraged me to
put them [the stories] in a
book," the author told the
Ocean Palms youngsters,
many of whom held their
own copies of the book.
Michalove explained that

Family meals priority with Wilkinsons
by KATHY NICOLETTI
COLL'MNIS T
Family meals are a priority
for Dana and Thom Wilkinson
of Ponte Vedra Beach.
They believe that sharing
good food and conversation
daily during breakfast and din-
ner contributes to the close-
ness of their family.
The Wilkinsons have more
flexibility in the morning than
most other families have.
Their office commute is less
than 10 minutes and Thorn is
an early riser who starts break-
fast well before his sons head
off to school.
The early morning menu
may include homemade pan-
cakes or breakfast quesadillas..
For dinner, it's not unusual for
the entire family to spend
more than an hour together at
the evening meal.'.,
."To make this possible with
three active sons, the time that
dinner is served is- always.
determined by whoever will be
home last.The dinner menu
includes homemade family'
fare and "fun things" that the
boys enjoy, such as 'Mexican
dishes or Dana's slow cooked
chicken wings. ,, .
KeW~ COOKS
Everyone contributes to the
effort. The parents take care of
the cooking and the boys all
have kitchen chores and clean-
up duties.
In the Wilkinson home,
desserts and baked goods are
Dana's specialty. Some of her
favorite recipes include an ele-
gant'Cr6me Brulee, a simply
delicious chocolate cake, and a
unique Ten to twelve layer
,cake. .: : "
Dana said her Griddle Cake
is made from "an. old-time
recipe." The 10 to 12 layers of
the cake are baked individually
in a seasoned cast iron skillet
in the oven.,
';Wilkinson said that no other
type of bakeware will work as
well.Each of the layers bakes
quickly and evenly with the
right amount of crispness on
the edges in the heat-retaining
cast iron skillet.
Wilkinson makes, lemon
icing as filling between each
layer and on top of the cake.
Other types of icing can also be
used, and years ago homemade
jelly would have been used
instead of icing.
The finished cake is not
beautiful to look at but tastes
delicious, she said. For the past
several years, Wilkinson has
made a Griddle Cake for
Christmas gifts for both her
parents and her husband's par-
ents. The cake keeps in the
refrigerator for about a month
and both sets of parents look
forward to enjoying the cake
for several weeks during the
holidays.
,Since ,each layer is made
individually, it takes several
hours to make Griddle Cakes
with a single skillet. Wilkinson
said that she really appreciated
a Christmas gift of a second
seasoned cast iron skillet from
her mother-in-law who also
has made Griddle Cakes.
The recipe for Chocolate
Chocolate Cake was handed
down to Wilkinson by her
mother and it probably was in
her family farther back than'

Cont. from A-8
students as he pointed to the
cover. Nlany in the audience
responded with a collective,
"Oh, yeah."
When Mlichalove said he
had been in Vietnam, several
youngsters said their grand-
fathers had been there, too.
Flying night missions
Michalove told the stu-
dents that his missions were
done under cover of dark-
riess.
"I only flew at night
because I had a great big air-
plane," he said.
The AC-130 gunship,
developed from the C-130
Hercules transport aircraft,
"destroyed or damaged an
average of 10,000 trucks per
year over the Ho Chi MNtinh
Frail," according to a descrip-
tion of the 16th SOS on a
WXVeb site twww.globalsecuri-
ty.org).
The aircraft, which had a.
crew of a dozen or more,
became operational at Ubon
in 1968 and "participated in
every major campaign" in
Southeast Asia until the end
of the war, according to the
site.
The airplane's "distin-
guished record in Southeast
Asia was not achieved with-
out cost," the site notes,
adding, "52 aircrew members
w'ere killed in action."
Nlichalove said the crew of
his gunship came perilously
close to becoming part of
the statistics.
One night, the airplane
took a hit from 37 mm anti-
aircraft fire and had to make
an emergency landing, he
said.
"I had on my parachute,.
Michalove said.
, That was March 26, 1971,
a date he remembers because
it is his wife's birthday.
i It was also eerily similar to
an incident that took place
the year before to another
AC-130 crew, he said.
That plane, also hit by 37
mm fire, went down within
five miles of where
Michalove's plane was hit,
Michalove said.
The navigator aboard that
ill-fated gunship was a friend
of Michalove's, who had
written to Michalove about a
month 'before the crash,
Michalove said.
The friend, Lt. Col. Charles
S. Rowley, and all but one of
the crew were lost,
Michalove said.
Within the past several
months, Michalove said, he
contacted Rowley's daughter
and sent her the letter
Rowley wrote to Michalove
shortly before he went down.
The letter Michalove wrote
home the day his crew had
its close call contained no
reference to the incident,
Sybil NMichalove said, adding
that it wasn't until months
later that she found out.
A happy ending
He kept some information
out of his letters to his wife,
he said.
"She had enough to worry
about."
None of the children's sto-
ries make reference to their
father's work, either. Not the
114 combat missions he took
part in, nor the eight air
medals and two
Distinguished Flying Crosses
he was awarded.
When the dad's overseas
tour was ending, he let his
children know about it
through a story.
"Soon your father will
return home from the war to
look after you and your
beauru!i hmothel," hamoie
tells the children in the final
tale. '

Cont. from A-8
that, she said.
It would be hard for any
chocolate lover to resist this
soft and light chocolate cake
made with buttermilk and
topped with fudgy icing. The
cake is mixed easily in a
saucepan and baked in a large
rectangular pan. Then the
icing is cooked until it
becomes like fudge and quick-
ly cooled and beaten to spread-
ing consistency.
Wilkinson serves Creme
Brulee with fresh strawberries
and blueberries for a colorful
and delicious dessert. The cus-
tard is made in several steps
and the technique produces a
rich and smooth finished
product. Vanilla is one of the
key ingredients and Wilkinson'
recommends only using real
vanilla extract and high quali-
.ty eggs for the best flavor.
The finished custard is
topped with a layer of brown
sugar which is caramelized
under the broiler to form a
crispy, sweet crust. This is a
good choice for a dessert for
entertaining or special occa-
sions since the custard can be
made a couple days in advance
and the crust can be made sev-
eral hours before serving.
The following are some of
Dana Wilkinson's cake and
dessert recipes and Thorn
Wilkinson's recipe for Oysters
Rockefeller.
Griddle Cake
two and two-thirds cups self
rising flour
two and two-thirds cup
sugar
one and one-third cup cook-
ing oil
1 cup milk
7 regular eggs

ingredients. Beat until "bub-
bly." Pour one-half cup of mix-
ture into greased griddle/skil-
let. (Use Pam Spray.) Bake in a
preheated 400 degree oven for
about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove
the layer and place each layer
to cool on a wax paper sheet.
Repeat the steps, adding one-
half cup of mixture to skillet
and baking. Yields 10 to 12 lay-
ers.
Icing: 1 cup all purpose
flour
two and two-thirds cup
sugar
two and one-half cups boil-
ing water
4 egg yolks
lots of lemon zest
juice of 1 to 2 lemons
Mix flour and sugar in the
top of a double boiler. Add
boiling water slowly, stirring
constantly. Beat egg yolks.Add
a little hot filling to yolks, then
add yolks to the rest of the hot
mixture. Add lemon juice and
zest. Taste ,and add more
lemon to your liking. Stir fill-
ing constantly until thickened.
Cornstarch can be added for
extra thickening if needed.
Icing/filling is ready to spread
on cake layers.
Creme Brulee
1 quart whipping cream
4 T sugar
3 tsp. real vanilla extract
8 egg yolks (Eggland eggs
recommended)
pinch of salt
one and one-quarter cups
brown sugar
sliced fresh strawberries and
blueberries
In a large saucepan, scald the
cream. Remove from heat. Add
sugar; stir well until sugar is
completely dissolved. Add
vanilla and stir well. In a large
bowl, beat egg yolks until light
lemon color. Then, carefully
stir hot cream mixture into
yolks. (Temper the hot mixture
first by adding small amounts
to egg yolks.) Add a pinch of
salt. Strain mixture into a 10-
inch deep dish pie plate or 8 4
oz. ramekins. Place dish/dishes
in a pan of hot water. Bake at
350 degrees for 50-60 minutes
or 30 to 40 minutes for
ramekins. Cool. Refrigerate
until well chilled.
For brown sugar crust, pre-
heat broiler. Spread brown
sugar on top of chilled custard,
making a layer one-quarter
inch thick. The brown sugar
must be lump free. Broil for 2
to 5 minutes, turning the dish
as necessary to broil evenly.
Broil until sugar has
caramelized. Chill or cool
before serving. Serve with
fresh sliced strawberries and
blueberries. *The custard may
be prepared 2-3 days in
advance. The crust may be
made several hours before
serving.
Chocolate Chocolate Cake

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
'61 11"ai NU o n e 'ni
one and one-Hall tsp. vanilla
2 cups sugar
one-half cup buttermilk
2 eggs
In a 2 quart sauce pan, melt
the butter. Remove the pan
from the heat. To this, add the
cocoa, water, and sugar. After
this is blended, add the dry
ingredients. To the half cup of
buttermilk, add the soda and 2
slightly beaten eggs. Add this
to the cake along with the
vanilla. Pour into a greased
and floured 9x12 inch pan.

25 minutes.
Icing: 1 cup water
one-third cup cocoa
one-third cup milk
one-third cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla
In a sauce pan, mix together
all of the ingredients except
the vanilla. Cook to a slow

formed when droplets are
placed into a cup of cool water.
At this stage, remove from
heat and add the vanilla. Place
the saucepan in a large bowl of
sink with ice cold water. Hand
beat the icing until the mix-
ture has slightly thickened.
Spread on the warm cake.
Oysters Rockefeller
1 cup butter
one-half cup plain flour
2 cloves of garlic, minced
one-half tsp. salt
one-quarter tsp.
pepper
2 pkgs. frozen
spinach
cayenne
chopped
1 tsp. anchovy paste
1 lb. bacon, cooked and
crumbled
I pint standard oysters
grated Parmesan cheese
Tabasco sauce
Baking shells (use about 24
small shells for one oyster
each)
Cook bacon well, drain and
crumble. Melt butter in a skil-
let. Add the flour, stir and cook
about 5 minutes until well
blended. Blend in oyster water,
garlic, salt, cayenne, and
anchovy paste. Place frozen
spinach on top of this mixture.
Cover and cook over medium
heat, stirring every few min-
utes. Cook until spinach is
done, usually about 10 to 15
minutes. This may be done
ahead and frozen. Using cook-
ie sheets, cover with crumpled
aluminum foil. Place baking
shells on foil.
The crumpled foil holds the
shells in place and makes
clean-up easier. Place one oys-
ter in each shell. Top with a
spoon of spinach mixture, 3
drops of Tabasco or any hot
sauce, crumbled bacon, .and
then dust with Parmesan
cheese. Place in the middle of
the oven and broil for 8 to 10

This can be made into a casse-
role. Also the spinach is deli-
cious as a vegetable.

Hanburry's goal the.difference
as Nease blanks Merritt Island
By ROBERT DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR
FORT LAUDERDALE -
Dynasty begins with "D." And
though Nease girls soccer coach
Dave Silverberg was apprehen-
sive about calling his program a
dynasty following the Panther.s
second consecutive state cham-
pionship (and third in the past
five years) Saturday night, he
did praise the team's defense as
key to the title drive.
The Panther's defeated Merritt
Island 1-0 Saturday evening at
Fort Lauderdale's Lockhart
Stadium in a back and forth
game that turned on Stacey
Hanburry's goal nine minutes
into the second half. Senior
midfielder Nikki Lombardo
blasted a free kick from just left
of the penalty box that curved
toward the net. Mustangs keep-
er Natalie Feller got a fingertip
on the ball, but it found the
right shoulder of a charging
Hanburry for the only score of
the Class 4A championship
game.
"I usually play forward but I
was playing defense this game. I
had to mark [Mustangs star for-
ward Cara Bortz] so I knew I
wouldn't get many chances on
offense," a beaming Hanburry
said. "Nikki just gave a perfect
ball, I couldn't ask for a better
ball and it was my only
opportunity to score so I just ran
straight to the ball and knocked
it in with my shoulder."
Silverberg praised Hanburry
for tenacious defense on Bortz,
who scored 38 goals this season.
In fact, Bortz had only one shot
on goal, and that was from way
outside the box late in the first
half.
PANTHERS 1
MUSTANGS 0
Nease's strategy was to shad-
ow Bortz wherever she went on
the field. "I had to make sure I
knew where she was at all
times," Hanburry said, "and not
lose track of her. I did O.K. I real-
ly have no idea why I was
picked"
Silverberg cited the 5'8
Hanburry's ability to win balls
out of the air as one reason she
was selected to mark Merritt
Island's most dangerous scoring
threat. The coach then credited
the entire Panthers defense for:
securing the championship.
"Each of our title seasons has
been so different," Silverberg
said. "Last year was kind of a
perfect season because we had
no injuries and no major prob-
lems.
"This year it was injury after
injury and kids kept stepping up
.. but I have to say it was our
defense that carried us through
the playoffs. Time and again
they came through and our
defense is really the reason we
won tonight."
From Catherine O'Donnell in
goal, to defenders Erin Hoover,
Jessica Gambill and Dani
Nelson, along with midfielder
Jamie Silverberg and the special
assignment Hanburry drew
against Merritt Island, the
Panthers thwarted every offen-
sive surge Saturday. The
Mustangs were limited to only
two shots on goal in the first
half, but by pushing everyone
forward for most of the second
half in search of the equalizer,
finished with 10 shots on goal
and'two corner kicks.
"They put a lot of pressure on
us after we scored and they had
some good opportunities, some
good shots," said Panthers soph-
omore keeper O'Donnell. "They
put a lot of shots on net in the
final minutes [but] I was ready."
The Nease defense was so
effective it kept the high-pow-
ered Mustangs off the board for
only the second time this sea-
son.
"I don't know if we could
have played differently," said
Merritt Island forward Michelle

Bush. "Every single one of us
who came in left everything
they had on the field.",
Earning a second straight
state title was anything but a
cakewalk for Nease. Plagued by
late-season injuries, Silverberg's
troops relied heavily on unsung
heroes to step in at key posi-
tions.
The Panthers also got a boost
in Friday's state semifinal game
when senior forward Lauren
Crossan returned from a
sprained ankle to score both
goals in a 2-0 shutout over
Pensacola Washington High.
On Saturday, it was midfielder
Kristen Hoover who gave her
teammates a lift by getting back
on the field after sustaining a
knee injury against St.
Augustine in last week's regional
final. Hoover only played about
five minutes for Nease, but the
Panthers scored their lone goal
during that time.
"I found out Wednesday I
could play a little," said Hoover,
who sported a large brace on her
leg. "I have a second-degree tear
of my MCL... I couldn't do too
much but I just had to be a part
of the championship game."
Nease finished the season
with a 27-2-2 record, its only
losses coming against Class 5A
soccer powerhouse Satellite
High School.

from the [free throw] line, They
were-averaging 65 per game, we
were averaging 51. We had 51,
they had 54."
The Nease girls, 1998-99 state
titleists, finished 19-9 after
going 20-8 last year.
The Lady Panthers have
made 12 playoff appearances.
Counting last week's defeat by
West Port, they've lost in the
regional quarterfinals five years
in a row.
"The kids played tough,
played inspired coming off the
district loss," said Anthony,
Each team split with Atlantic
during the season. The Lady
Panthers won at, Port Orange
63-51 Dec. 1, then lost to the
Sharks at home 52-34 Jan. 5.
The boys lost to Atlantic at
home 53-50 in OT pec. 1, then
beat the Sharks at Port Orange
46-42 Jan. 5.
The boys team was seeded
second to Clay in last week's
district tourney. Junior
Christian Dennis led Nease
with 13 points in the losing
cause. Senior co-captain Zach
Paterick added 10.
The boys finished with a '17-8
record, compared to a 10-12
mark in 2004-05 that broke a
string of five consecutive play-
off appearances. The Nease
boys, state champs in 20.01-02,
have. made six playoff appear-
ances.
"Kind 6f unfortunate," Nease
boys coach Bud Beech ,said'
Monday of his team's loss to
Atlantic. "We thought we were
primed to win a district cham-
pionship this year. We played a
pretty good team. They played
tough defense, caused us prob-
lems on offense.
"The Atlantic team had a lit-
tle more, of the aggressiveness
on defense. We, were on our
heels' the whole night," said
Beech.
Nease tied the game in the
third quarter 42-all on a three-
pointer by David Swendsenri.
"At that point we turned it
over," said Beech. "They
jumped out to a five-point lead
[from which Nease couldn't
recover]."
Beech said he was pleased
with the final record and sec-
ond seed in the district tourna-
ment, plus a 53-49 conference
championship victory at
Orange Park.

The Secret To Great-Looking Drywall Surfaces
Whether you're building a new home
or adding a new room, homeowners
can ensure a top-quality drywall instal-
lation by following a few basic but
very important gypsum board appli-
cations and finishing guidelines.
Installing drywall panels isn't an
overly complex process. The panels are
available in a variety of sizes, with 4- by
8-foot and 4- by 12-foot sheets being
the most commonly used. If you're
doing the work yourself, the smaller 4-
by 8-foot panels are easier to handle.
Drywall panels are most commonly
available in 1/2- and 5/8-inch thick-
nesses. The 1/2-inch panels are ideal for
most wall surfaces, while ceilings gen-
erally require a 5/8-inch thickness to

protect against sagging. Drywall panel
installation techniques are fairly stan-
dard. The real trick to achieving great-
looking results lies in how well the pan-
els are finished.
A poorly finished drywall surface
may show visible "joint banding" or
"photographing" problems. These
terms refer to a noticeable difference in
appearance between the drywall panel
and the .treated joint areas. The prob-
lem stems from the fact that the dry-
wall face paper and the joint com-
pounds used to finish panel joints have
different porosities and textures. That
means that they accept paint different-
ly, and those differences can remain
visible even after the surface has been
painted.
These problems are especially a con-
cern in larger rooms with an abun-
dance of critical lighting (lighting that
strikes wall and ceiling surfaces at an
angle) or when semi-gloss or eggshell
paints are used.
Priming or sealing the drywall surface
prior to painting often doesn't solve
the problem. Conventional primers can
help equalize the texture differences
between the drywall face paper and
treated joints, but they may not equal-
ize the porosity differences. Sealers, on
the other, are typically effective at
equalizing porosity differences, but
often do not correct texture variations.
To completely eliminate drywall joint
banding and telegraphing, drywall con-
tractors use a technique called "skim
coating," which involves covering the
entire gypsum board surface with a
thin coat of joint compound. This
process leaves a film thick enough to
fill imperfections in the joint work,
smooth the paper texture and provide a
uniform surface for decorating. After
the skim coat has dried, a high-quality
drywall primer is applied prior to paint-
ing.
Whether using a professional or as a
do-it-yourself project, remember. that
there are no shortcuts for creating
great-looking gypsum board walls and
ceilings. Each step of the installation
process must be done carefully and cor-
rectly, including board finishing, which
has a major impact on how well the
finished drywall surface will look.
