Peyton sweetens deal
to swap Guana land

Edison visits
by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
Thomas Alva Edison, the "Wizard of Menlo
Park," stopped by Rawlings and Ocean Palms..ele-
mentarv schools Tuesday on his way from New
Jersey to Clearwater and Miami, all the while show-
ing students that science and history can be fun.
Portrayed by actor Patrick Garner,, the on-stage
Edison brought along some of his inventions,-
among them the electric light bulb and the phono-
graph.
He also brought some lessons, to wit:
Work hard and play hard; ,....'.
There are no mistakes as long as you learn from
them;
Try to look at your problems from a different
angle, and
Find something you love to do in your life, and
be sure you do it your whole life long.
The Edison lessons, gleaned from the inventor's
biographical information, were developed by
Garner four years ago while he was helping his
daughter with a fourth-grade project in Montclair,
N.J.
Garner said he uses the lessons learned in his life
as an actor and as a parent.
"I prefer to pursue a professional acting career,"
Garner said before his Rawlings show, "but as
things got slow and I looked for something to fill in
the gaps, this is so much more fulfilling.
"If I get two or three kids interested in science,
that's a huge effect I can have."

ST4FF WRITER
Fueled by an offer to swap 50
acres of privately owned land sur-
rounded by the Guana preserve for
a high school site in the Guana, a
group of Ponte Vedra parents are
recharged in their pursuit of the
Guana site for a high school.
The site, however, has been
rejected by the St. Johns Count'
School Board, and the schools
superintendent said this week the
same "impediments" that were
present the last time a swap was
discussed remain today.
"The [School] Board is aware
that the offer has changed,"
Joseph Joyner, St. Johns County
schools superintendent, said
Tuesday.
"However, the impediments to
the opportunity are still there."
With the School Board expected
soon to select from two possible
sites for a Ponte Vedra high school,
a group known as the Ponte Vedra
High School Coalition once again
is pushing for the Guana site.
Herb Peyton, owner of Gate
Petroleum, has offered 50 acres of
his pristine land at the end of Neck
Road in exchange for 50 acres of
Guana land off Mickler Road for a
high school, members of the coali-
tion said.
Peyton's land, bordered on the
east by Ponte Vedra Lake and on
the west by the Guana reserve, has
been on a list of land the state
would like to acquire.
"We learned early on that the
only way for us to acquire the
Guana lands was via a land
exchange," said Mark Bugby, a
Joseph Joyner
member of the coalition, which
first pursued a land swap with
Peyton in 2003.
"It was discovered that the state
actually desires his [Peyton's]
land," he said.
In October 2003, Peyton offered
to give up the development rights
on 104 acres of his land in
exchange for about 100 acres of
Guana land along Mickler Road
for a future high school.
Pevton's most recent swap offer,
however, is for some of the land
itself, rather than for just the
development rights, members of
the coalition said.
The Guana, however, is closely
guarded by more than one entity
at the state level.
According to Joyner, Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush wrote a letter in
2003 to School Board member
Carla Wright in response to
Peyton's earlier proposal.

Residents: Don't bottle county water
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF I IdTER
St. Johns County Commissioners
Tuesday approved more than $3.5
million in tax and impact fee
incentives to bring a water bottling
plant to Northwest St. Johns
Count'.
Though the plant will consume
about 1.1 million gallons of water
per day, Neal Shinkie, engineering
manager for the county Utility3
Department, told commissioners,
"It's not a major issue" for the
county's water supply.
Several residents of Ponte Vedra,
however, expressed a different
opinion.
"This entire proposal is ludicrous
on its merits," said James O'Toole
of Ponte Vedra Beach.
Last year, commissioners told
Ponte V'edra residents the most
important reason behind the $27
million purchase of St. Johns
Service Co., a Ponte Vedra utility,
was to control county water and
encourage conservation, O'Toole
said.
"So what would be the justifica-
tion for this giveaway?" he asked.
Representatives of the Ponte
Vedra Beaches Coalition and the
St. Johns County Civic Roundtable
voiced similar complaints.
"We have just gone through our
own water war [in Ponte Vedra],"
said Coalition member Marcy
Silkebaken.
Silkebaken cited several exam-
ples of Commissioner Bruce
Maguire's support of water conser-
vation and quoted County Utility
Director Bill Young as saying the
county has worked for several years
to lift a water supply caution from
the St. Johns River Water
Management District.
Barbara Vergara, director of the
division of water supply manage-
ment for the district, confirmed St.
Johns County was in a priority
water resource caution area about
five years ago.
Vergara said the water manage-
ment district asked the county to

"Step Up, Florida," the third
annual statewide, month-long
relay event to promote fitness,
will make its way through Ponte
Vedra Beach for the first time
Monday, the penultimate day of
the event.
Residents are encouraged to
participate in the walk from the
Ponte Vedra Beach Branch
Library to the Duval County),
line, where vans will transport
walkers back to the library, said
Rafe Hewett, organizer of St.
Johns County's portion of the
relay.
The 1.5-mile walk is scheduled
to begin at 4:30 p.m., after a 30-
minute "health break" at the
library, where fitness businesses
will provide information,
Hewett said.
The event is free, and each
walker will get a T-shirt and a
sports backpack, he said.
A fitness fag is scheduled to
pass to St. Johns County from
Flagler County Monday morn-
ing, when kayakers will travel
from the Marineland area to the
Coastal Outdoor Center on the
Intracoastal Waterway.
Other St. Augustine events are
a walk in Anastasia State Park, a
rollerblading event, a team run,
a walk in downtown St.
Augustine and another to Vilano
Beach, and a bike ride from
Vilano to the Ponte Vedra
library.
Registration for the Ponte
Vedra walk takes place at the
library.
The St. Johns Count' portion
of the relay, which began in
Monroe County early this
month, is one of four paths that
began in different parts of the
state.
The four paths and the flags
they represent are scheduled to
meet in Jacksonville Tuesday, the
final day of the event.
In the two previous Step Up
events, the St. Johns County leg
of the relay passed west of Ponte
Vedra, Hewett said.
"Our community has so much
to offer our citizens and visitors
to help them achieve a healthy
and happy lifestyle," Dawn C.
AUllicock, director of the St. Johns
County Health Department, said
in a news release.

SPECIAL
The first week of February,
26 Nease High students
embarked on a journey to
Anaheim, Calif., for a
Student Television Network
(STN) convention.
This year's theme was "Tell
the Story," and there were
many opportunities to learn
how to do so after the Nease
students left from the'
Jacksonville airport on
Wednesday, Feb. 1.,
The convention, which
hosted nearly 2,000 stu-
dents, took place at the'
Disneyland Hotel, where the
students stayed.
The nation's only conven-
tion for scholastic broadcast-
ers, the event drew partici-
pants from 144 schools in
more than 40 states.
Each student selected four
workshops from the 40 that
broadcast journalists and
film producers. There were
also onsite critiques of stu-
dent work.
Among evening activities
were a dance party, the first
"STN Film Festival" featuring
screening of 10, .student.
films, an energetic ."Varsity
TV Wannabes" session plus a.
variety of student-produced
music videos 'on a big screen.
Nease students entered six
events ut of the 11 offered.
These ,included broadcast
news writing, anchoring,,
spot feature, live reporting,
stand-ups and editing.

Edison: Inventor's life offers lessons for elementary students
Cont. from A-1
Garner was joined on stage
at Rawlings by three young-
sters in the roles of Edison's
longtime associates: Charles
Batchelor,, his 'right-hand
man, portrayed by Daelen
Elberger; Lewis :Howard
Latimer, a prolific African-'
American inventor played by
Corey Brown; and Frederick
Ott, portrayed by Alex Moss..
Ott appeared in the first
copyrighted motion picture
in 1894, which lasted five sec-
onds and was called "The
Sneeze."
Garner presents his pro-
gram primarily in and around'

Connecticut, he said. His

Cont. from A-1
The letter describes the go'v-
ernor's constitutional duty to
.protect Florida's natural
resources, giving the School
Board the impression that he,
would reject such a land
exchange.
Because 'of such "impedi-
mrnents," Joyner said, the
School Board decided to drop
the Guana land from the list
of potential high school sites.
in 2004. .
And despite the. apparently
sweeter deal being offered by
Peyton, the same obstacles
that clouded the original pro-
posal stand in the way of the
new deal as well, Joyner said.
The two methods for acquir-
ing land, in the. Guana pre-
and the Jacksonville area is
the longest he has made with
Edison, he said. ..
Garner uses.what he and his
daughter learned to teach stu-
dents what Edison invented
and also tell them how he did
it, "to give them some tools
they can use in school aand
farther out, for the rest of
their careers," he said.'
Garner does Edison about
100 times a year, for all grade
levels but' primarily for
kindergarten '.to seventh
grade. With an average of 200
students per school, he reach-
es about 80,000 youngsters a
year, he said.
As .an actor, he, appeared
briefly as a newsstand vendor
in the most recent film pro-
duction of "The Producers."
serve, Joyner said, are to have
a bill OK'd by the Florida
Legislature or' to have Bush
and his executive cabinet OK
the proposal directly.
Either way, the. Florida
Department of Environmental
Protection (DEPi mustmake a
'J'ecoitnrien'dation,j oy-'s-s'aid,
and'the DEP'has ihot bdenr Will-
ing to recommend either of'
Peyton's proposals.
Nonetheless, Joyner said the
School Board has been "eter-
nally grateful for Mr. Peyton's
offer."
'Joyner has said the School
.Board should choose a Ponte
Vedra high school site this
spring., .,
The two sites being consid-
ered are a 30-acre parcel off.
"I have only a few seconds,"
he said, "because they cut the
song that I'm in. You see 'me
selling a newspaper to
Nathan Lane, who's supposed
to turn around arid sing a big
song. They cut it from the
movie, but the director told
me it's going to be on DVD."'
Among the television shows
Garner, has appeared in are
"Law. and Order" and
"'Chappelle's Show." He said
he cringes when he asks :Stu-
dents 'how many of them
watch the latter.
"It's too crude for me to
. atch most of the time," he
said.
'As to Edison,' he said,
"When I get a kid wh6 comes'
up after the show, it reinforces

Patrick Garner portrays Thomas
Edison Tuesday at Rawlings.
"This is definitely rinot a
stuffy or stodgy show," he
added "I don't put on the
white hair. That's the image
most people have of Edison,
staid' and reserved. and
respectable. .
"'His second wvife made him
respectable. With his first
wife, he was a wild man."
Garner uses the way Edison
worked to reinforce a point he
tries to get across to students.
"Edison always worked
hard," he said. "But making
history is fun, science is a lot
of fun. Breakthroughs? You've
got to celebrate them and use
the technology."
Garner's show at Rawlings
and Ocean Palms was spon-'
sored by the Ponte Vedra

Cont. from A-1
find alternative sources, of
water besides the fresh water
just below the surface.
That's when the county
made plans for an. osmosis
water treatment plant, which
breaks ground next month,
Vergara said.
Instead of using shallow,
fresh ground water, which can
be found up to 120 feet under-
ground, the plant will extract
brackish water from deeper
underground and treat it for
consumption a more expen-
sive process.
But such a pricey alternative
was both a strategic and neces-
sary move on the county's
party, Shinkre said.
'He said using the shallow
fresh. water supply was begin-i
ning to affect water levels in
the county's wetland areas.
Using 'brackish water will
help solve that problem,
Shinkre said, and it will help
conserve the shallow fresh
water supply for the future.
"The resource is there --it's
just how you manage it,"
Shinkre said in an interview
Tuesday.
"I'm confident right now
that we don't have a problem. I
believe we're good for at least
30 years."
Before the bottling plant can
be built, the county will have
to ask the St. John River Water
Management District for a
change in its consumptive use
permit, which currently does
not allow bottling as an .acept-
ed use of water.
Vergara said modification to'
that permit 'could take any-
where, from a few months to
more than a year as the water
management district conducts
a review of the water supply.
Nonetheless, Shinkre said
developers of 'the bottling
plant are anticipating that it
will be up and running by
March 2007.
The plant is expected to
employ about 250 people. Its
equipment is expected to bring
$33 million in taxes over 20
years.

More letters to the editor:
Mickler's site makes sense
To the editor:
New, Mickler Site exchange .
proposal is a "'win-win" for
environmental concerns and
east of the Tntracoastal high
school site proponents alike!
How? Herb Peyton's newly
announced exchange proposal
demonstrates how a private
land owner can donate high
value,-natural resource land to
:: achieve a two fold public ben-
efit; public protection of desir-
able natural resource land, and
land for a public school at no.
cost to county taxpa\yeis. State,
and Federal agencies have
made Mr. Peyton's Outpost
land a "high priority' acquisi-
tion," to. deter development
along -the shores of Lake Ponte'
Vedra and to provide addition-
al upland buffers to the Guana
River. His offer achieves these
stated conservation objectives
at no cost to federal, state or
county agencies. The no cost
,benefit is achieved-because Mr.
Peyton is willing to give up his
valuable land for the benefit of
the children of Ponte Vedra'
Beach and Palm Valley. He
believes the best place for the'
new' high school is in the pine
plantation area along Mickler
Road, behind the new Publix'
shopping center. His generosi-
ty creates a "win" for conserva-
tion and a "win" for public
education in our. community.
State and local opposition
claimed that the state wasn't
getting anything by Mr.
Peyton offering just his devel-
opment-rights, which was the
basis of the original proposal
in 2003.' Mr. Peyton has mod-
ified his proposal, which now,
offers to deed 50 acres (fee-
title) of his land to the state in
exchange for 50 acres, along
NMickler Road, for the high
school. That means total pub-
lic access to the land he is giv-
ing up.
Governor Bush has NEVER
said no to any of Mr. Peyton's
,exchange proposals The let-
ter that everybody suggests he
said "no"' to was written to

Wright, in January 2003. That

per acre for conservation land.

ably higher, so it is unlikely the

makes his land available to the
State via an alternative to fee-'
simple acquisition, which is
what the state Legislature
encourages state agencies to
do. Also, his proposal is a clear
demonstration of the
Legislature's directive that
encourages the development
of creative partnerships
between governmental agen-
cies and private, landowners.
Using these recently endorsed
methods of land acquisition,
the State achieves its own con-
servation objectives at no cost.

Growth
may keep
us dry as
seas rise
G global warming is caus-
ing sea levels to rise as
much as 3 feet a year,
according to a recent.broad-
cast on scientists paid by the
government to watch the
thermometer and issue dire
warnings.
The alarming increase in sea
levels is enough to give pause
to those of us who live along
the coastline.
I'm not ready to start pack-
ing or building an ark, howev-
er. -". ,
, Given that I live 15 blocks
from the ocean, I know I'm
not likely to find waves: lap-
ping at my doorstep any time
soon. "
Besides, the conclusion of a
,1988 EPA-funded report offers
some hope to even the worst
worry-warts.
The only hitch is that we're
all going to have to embrace
growth and its attendant
soaring property values.,
Renourishment of the shore-
line in Florida and elsewhere is
a proven albeit expensive -
mechanism to stabilize, the
coast and keep coastal' proper-
ty safe and dry, notes the 1988
report, "National assessment of
beach renourishment require-
ments-associated with acceler-
ated sea level rise".
The report details that
renourishment costs will triple
nationwide between 2000 and
2020, given the sand that will
be needed to build up shore-
lines against rising sea levels;
For everyone who has cursed
the 'congestion while driving
along Third Street recently or.
wondered whether we really
need another condominium
on the oceanfront, the report.-
has a gem of solace.
The report makes it clear
that the' enormous value of
coastal property makes it likely
that coastlines in densely
developed areas will continue
to be renourished to fight back
advancing waters. -
"It is safe to assurrie that the
densely developed areas will
be nourished and maintained.
-What is unclear is at what
point moderate-density areas
will be forced by. economic
considerations to choose
another approach (e.g., retreat
from the eroding beach)," the
report states.-
I In other words, the smaller
a coastal community's tax
base, the less likely it is that
renourishment funding will be
a priority.
The 1988 report notes that
Miami Beach with its $1 bil-
lion in coastal property values
is a sure thing for renourish-
ment .funding.
For the record, at the three,
Beach municipalities, the tax
base rose from $3.46 billion to
$4.02 billion between. 2004
and 2005.
Guess that makes us a sure
thing.
No taxing authority wants
to find billions, of taxable
property slip-sliding away into
the sea, so I guess I don't have
to worry too much right now
about the oceanfront moving
westward.
Now we just have to worry
about how to pay for all the
renourishment that will be
needed in the future.

Jax mayor
poised for
Beaches
questions
FROM STAFF
In response to requests from
Beaches residents, Jacksonville
Mayor John Peyton will host his
first Beaches Town Hall Meeting
on Thursday, March 2, his staff
said this week.
Residents of Jacksonville
Beach, Neptune Beach and
Atlantic Beach are invited to the
meeting, which will be held in
the Council Chambers of
Jacksonville Beach City Hall, 11
N. 3rd St., Jacksonville Beach,
from 7 8:30 p.m.
"The meeting will provide an
opportunity for Beaches resi-
dents to ask Peyton questions
about government services and
other matters that, affect their
'quality of lffe.
"The City of Jacksonville
enjoys a good relationship with
,the Beaches governments and I
look forward to hearing first-
hand from residents how we can
work together to serve them bet-
ter," said Peyton. "The town hall
meetings I have held in loca-
tions, around Jacksonville have
been invaluable, letting me
know what's really important to,
people and ,ensuring that resi-
dents' issues are addressed."
Peyton has hosted town hall
meetings nearly every other'
month since the beginning of
his administration. At each
meeting, the mayor takes ques-

Astronomy ambassador
Beaches native 'loves to share the universe'
by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
There aren't an infinite number of
jobs for astronomers.
Dr. Mike Reynolds, however, has
made the most of his job prospects.
The Beaches native and .1972 Fletcher
High School graduate has been a NASA
spokesperson, a planetarium director, a'
space and science museum founder,
and an astronomical expedition leader.
He has also authored five books on
astronomy and in 2002 received the so-
called "Nobel Prize" for amateur astron-
omy, the G. Bruce Blair Medal.
"there are more astronomers than
there are jobs to go around," said
Reynolds, a Jacksonville Beach
resident and a former sci- --
ence teacher at
Fletcher High. -
"You have to
have a great '
math back-.
ground. :
It's not -
as sexy
as
look-
ing
through a "--
telescope.
Some
astronomers W
never look
through a tel-
escope at all."
Top-10 celestial sights
Twenty years after he was chosen as
Florida's Teacher of the Year and as a
finalist for NASA's Teacher in Space
Program, Reynolds, 51, is still doing
what he loves best: Sharing the space
sciences with students and amateur
stargazers.
Recently appointed associate dean for
math and natural sciences at Florida
Community College's Kent Campus,
Reynolds was the guest speaker at
Saturday's Northeast Florida
Astronomical Society's Urban Star Party
at Hanna Park;
Reynolds said a total solar eclipse
tops his top-10 list of astronomical
sights.
"It's the most awesome, unforgettable
event," Reynolds told about 50 people'
who attended-his free lecture at the
Hanna Park campground.
"I've seen 14 of them. There's anoth-
er one coining up in March."
, Reynolds has also witnessed two
meteor showers, and once led an astro-'
nomical expedition to Antarctica,
where his team found what they

"I could see the moon and a couple
of stars with it," said Reynolds, who
built his own telescope in the ninth
grade at Fletcher, placing fourth in the
state science fair.
"I grew up in the Sputnik era. In my
day, you had to learn the sky by using'
star charts. Now they have telescopes
r with GPS."
In Reynolds' top-10 list of celestial
objects, the Ring Nebula comes in at
No. 10, meteor showers are No. 9,!
occultation, or eclipse of a smaller'
object by a larger object, is No. 8, fol-
lowed by the Great Orion Nebula at
No.' 7.
Comets, planets, the Milky Way, the
moon and.the Andromeda Galaxy
round out the list.
"I love observing the moon. I contin-
Sie to discover more and more things,"
Reynolds said Saturday.
"The Andromeda Galaxy represents.
how vast space really is."
Teacher in Space finalist
Reynolds was named the state's
Teacher of the Year in 1985 while chair-
ing the science department. at Fletcher.
He was also a national finalist for
NASA's Teacher in Space Program. The'
honor went to New Hampshire's
Christa McAuliffe, who died in the
Challenger explosion 20 years ago last
month.
Reynolds said he did about "1,000
speeches" around the state after the
Challenger disaster as a Christa
NMcAuliffe Ambassador for Education.
After the two-year NASA assignment,
Reynolds served as director of the
Alexander Brest Planetarium at the
Jacksonville Museum of Science and
History.
He left MOSH in 1991 to pursue what
he called "an iffy" proposition as the
inaugural executive director of the
Chabot Space & Science Center in
Oakland, Calif.
"'didn't know if I would have a job
after the first three years," said
Reynolds, who helped raise money and
design the $76-million science muse-
um, which broke ground in 1996 and
opened in August 2000.
The museum's rooftop observatory is
named in his honor.
* After 13 years in the Bay area,
Reynolds returned to Jacksonville in
2004, taking up where he left off as a
teacher of natural sciences.
Despite his new status as an asso-
..ciate dean at FCCJ, Reynolds still
... teaches basic astronomy, intro-
....ducing a new generation of stu-
dents to the wonders of the uni-
"I have always loved the edu-
cational aspects of astronomy,"
said Reynolds, who earned a
Ph.D. in science education from
the University of Florida in 1990.
"I still hear from my Fletcher stu-
dents all the time, I never tried to make
astronomers out of them. "
As a senior at Fletcher, Reynolds was
an assistant director of an amateur
astronomy. club-in;Jacksonville,, the
the Northeast Florida Astronomical
Society, which holds public viewing
sessions at Hanna Park. The club will
host a "Dark Sky Observing Session"
Saturday at Osceola National Forest
near Lake City.
Thanks his lucky stars
Last Saturday at Hanna, Reynolds
signed copies of his latest book,
"Binocular Stargazing," a guide for
both the novice and experienced '
stargazer.
"I have a number of telescopes, yet I
always carry a pair of binoculars with
me regardless of my observing plans,"
Reynolds writes in the book, which he
dedicated to his wife, Debbie, whom he
met inrband class at Fletcher in the
11th grade. .- .. I
"Objects'are easier to find with a
standard pair of binoculars than a tele-
scope, allowing the novice to begin to
learn the night sky and navigate
around from object to object."

Ben Sinder gets batting tips from coach Ted Frank Saturday
during practice at Rawlings Elementary School. The two are
part of the PVAA's Sand Gnats T-ball team.
PVAA teams preparing for
March 4 season openers
by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
The 5- and 6-year-olds
known as 'the Sand Gnats are
among Ponte Vedra Athletic
Association (PVAA) baseball
teams practicing last weekend
for the March 4 season open-
er.
Amid words of instruction
and encouragement, from,
their coaches, the youngsters
took turns at- bat outside
Rawlings Elementary School,
swinging at balls pitched by,a
coach a few feet away.
When a ball made it.to the
field, attention turned to
fielding instruction from the
same coaches.
"The coaches toss under-
handed to them," Allen
;Hbgme, PLVAA baseball com-,.
mmsoher, said 'this' week of
the youngest players.
During games, he said,
coaches may pitch at first,
then switch to the T if a play-
er gets two strikes. Placement
on the T assures the bat will
connect with the ball.
"We let them hit it," Home
said.
This year's field of 494 play-
ers about the same number
.as in past years, Home said -
are divided into 43 teams.
The program is for boys and
girls ages 5 through 15,
although girls typically move
to softball after age 7 or 8, he
said. The T-ball players make
up about eight teams, Home
said, so those PVAA teams.
play one another throughout
the season, which winds up in
mid-May.
"The kids love the playoffs,
... and we give participation
trophies to every child to age
8," said Home, who coached
the PVAA team of11-year-olds
that won the state all-star
championship last year.
The PVAA's team of 10-year-
olds also won the state all-star*
championship, .Horme said,
adding that it's the "first time
we've ever had state champi-
ons."
Games begin Saturday,
March 4, after the teams are
introduced at the opening
ceremonies. Games are played
every day of the week at Davis
Park off County Road 210
about one mile west of the
Intracoastal Waterway, where
there are six fields, all lighted,
he said.
The league also uses the
four fields at: Cornerstone
Patk'off State Road AlA just
s'Oith' of the Plantation,
although with no lights on
those fields, games are
restricted to daylight hours,
he said.
At Dais Park, games start as
late as: 8 p.m. during the week,
he said. Saturday games start
at 9 a.m., and the last one
begins about 3 p.m. or 4 p.mi.,
he said.
, Home said "the great
majority" of players in Ponte
Vedra and elsewhere in
Northeast Florida get instruc-
tion on specific baseball skills,
much as golfers do. A supply
of former major league and
college players in the, area
offers such instruction,, said
Home, himself a former col-
lege baseball player.
The $120 registration fee-
per player pays for game fees,
umpires, shirt, belt, socks and
hat, Home said.
He gave awa bride, and baked cake

COLUMNIST
S ome fathers give away
the bride and tradition-
ally pay for the wedding.
John Bernard of Porite
Vedra Beach did all of the
above and baked the wed-
ding cake, too.
Bernard started decorating
birthday cakes for his three
daughters more than 20
years ago. He also baked and
decorated four-tier wedding
cakes for two of his daugh-
ters, most recently in March
2002.
A retired Navy veteran for-
merly stationed at Mayport,
Bernard has created cakes for
wedding receptions, parties,
and special events at
Rawlings Elementary School
in Ponte Vedra, where he is
in charge of maintenance
services.
Lately, Bernard has put less'
of his time in the kitchen in
cake decorating but contin-
ues to cook and bake other
types of special occasion
desserts.
A Hammond, La., native,
Bernard started cooking with
his mother when he was
only 6 years old.
Linda Bernard describes
her husband as a really great
cook.
_-,VCOOKS!
Recipes from Louisiana
remain a favorite for
Bernard, who said that there
are as many Gumbo and .
Jambalaya recipes as there
are cooks who make them.
Several years ago he met
the late Cajun cookbook
author Justin Wilson at a
local bookstore. He found
out they had some Louisiana
friends in common.
Wilson called gumbo a
poor man's soup that makes
use of whatever is in the
refrigerator.
Gumbo Ala Bernard
includes chicken' sausage,
crabmeat, shrimp, vegeta-
bles, tomatoes, and cayenne
pepper.
Bernard's mother and
grandmother made had their

Reynolds
Colnt. from A-8.
Mike Ramirez, president of
the local astronomy club,
told attendees at Saturday's
lecture that he owns 12 tele-
scopes, yet does "90 percent"
of his stargazing with binoc-
ulars.
"You can see a heck of a lot
with a 7x50 pair ofbinocu-.
lars for less than $50," said
Reynolds, adding that even a
cheap pair of binoculars is
more powerful than what
Galileo used to observe the
moon in 1609.
, In his spare time, Reynolds
is co-authoring a college text-
book on astronomy.
He also wants members of
the Jacksonville City Council
to "catch his vision" for a
public observatory in Duval
County.
And he thanks his lucky
stars that he still has a job in
astronomy.
"Since May 1961, when my
first grade teacher at San
Pablo Elementary rolled a TV
set into the classroom so we
could watch Alan Shepard
launch into space, I was
hooked," Reynolds recalled.
"I love sharing the beauty
of the universe. I just love
looking up."

John Bernard made this four-

2002.
The mixture should be
soupy; the rice will absorb
the liquid. Stir every few
minutes so that it does not
stick to the bottom of the
pot. Medium heat is best. If
sticking occurs, remove from
heat for a few minutes, then
continue. Jambalaya is done

One more go-around for Silverberg
Phio by vROB DeArJGELO
Nease High girls soccer coach Dave Silverberg walks onto the
field at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale Feb. 11 as his team
wraps up its most recent Class 4A state title. Silverberg, who
has guided the Panthers to three state championships in the
past five years, will return to coach one more season.
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
When a coach has won three state cham-
pionships in five years at a high school and
no longer has children on the team or at
the school, what does he do next?
If he's Dave Silverberg, who has led the
Nease girls soccer team
five years, the last two in
2005 and 2006, and has
run out of daughters on
the squad, he comes
back for an encore.
"I have committed to
one more year,"
Silverberg said Monday.
His eldest., daughter,
Jenna, a member of the
2002 title- squad who
played four seasons at
Nease, will be a, senior at
Western Kentucky next
fall. She scored 14 goals
as a freshman to set a
Hilltoppers' record.
Silverberg's youngest
daughter, Jamie, a mem-
ber of the 2005 and
2006 title-winning
teams, also has played
for Nease for four years
to three titles in
Initially, whe

Jamie it was

Dave Si
Nease girls s(
and graduates in
May. She'll be a freshman at Western
Kentucky next season.
An adjunct coach, Silverberg has shown
great efficiency during his head-coaching
tenure, which has produced three state
titles in the only five years he's been at
Nease. But he has no intentions of apply-
ing for the 'Toppers' head coaching job.
"Initially, when I started this thing, it
was just see what happens." said Silverberg.
"With Jenna, it was 'let me continue in soc-
cer.' With lamie, It was 'as long as they
want me.'"
But his original game-plan has changed.
"The plan was Jamie, and that was it," he
said. "But I got close to the seniors. I've
been around them for a long time [and] I
have a blast doing it."
The rising seniors at
Nease include defender
Meagan Thomas, who
an I started missed the entire season
with a broken ankle, and
was just to Dani Nelson, a key mem-
)pens. With ber of the Panthers'
defense; forward Kristen

'lverberg er Hannah Marvin.
soccer coach This year's champi-
onship lifted Nease into
an exclusive sorority of
11 Florida high schools, all of whom have
three or more state titles.
St. Thomas Aquinas heads the list with
10 championships, followed by American
Heritage with 5; Bishop Moore, Lyman and
Douglas, all with four; and Bolles,
Clearwater Central Catholic, Lake Mary,
Palm Harbor, Spanish River and now
Nease, each with three.
SUverberg had never played soccer and
says he knew nothing about the game
when he got started. The coach learned the
sport through his girls.
"I'm probably like a lot of people in this
country," he said. "'Soccer? Who needs it?'
kind of thing."
He started with Jenna, now a 21-year-old
junior at Western, when she was 10. That's
because Becky Silverberg came home one
day and told her husband she had signed
their daughter up for soccer.
"'\Vhy soccer?' was his reaction.
"She started playing in a rec league, and
I went to watch," recalled Silverberg, who
found himself in the same situation as
many fathers who think the coach knows
less about a particular sport than they do.
The difference was Silverberg did some-
thing about it.
After getting involved with John Duguid
and Jacksonville Youth Soccer, Silverberg
coached his eldest daughter's travel and
advanced teams from the time she was 11
until she reached 14.
"When she got to a point, I asked John
Duguid to coach them," he said. "I helped
and assisted with some of those teams."
Silverberg said his involvement "has
been about being around your kids for that
much time. I love coaching them, but just
watching them grow up and being around
them was really special.
"I realized how difficult if was for them
to have their dad coach them. People are
going to question sometimes why you're
playing your daughter," he said. "But they
were both great. They knew they had to do
the extra, play that much harder, because
'our dad's the coach.'"

Girls win lacrosse opener
FROM STAFF
The Nease girls lacrosse season got off to
a good start last Friday night with a lop-
sided 11-2 victory over Lyman High at
Panther Stadium.
The Panthers expanded their 6-1 half-
time lead with five goals in quick succes-
sion after the intermission.
Allie Lancashire, Emily Howard and Jess
Gimbel helped key a ferocious Panthers
attack that kept the pressure on Lyman's
defense throughout the second half.
The Nease girls are slated to travel to
Oviedo High School Friday in a 7 p.m.
start, then take on Seminole High on
March 1 before returning home March 3 to
battle Lake NMary High.

JVC slate
set, but
season
in doubt
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
While this summer's Jack-
sonville Volleyball Club sched-
ule has been set, officials warn
that without more member par-
ticipation the event s might not
take place.
Angie Armstrong, a Jackson-
ville resident and club president
for the past six years, told mem-
bers recently she plans to step
down after this season but
said Monday someone has
.expressed interest in taking over
the JVC program right away.
Jay Miller, a former club
member who ran Coors Lite
volleyball tournaments in the
Jacksonville area for a number
of years, may take charge of the
JVC program this year instead
of next. A club meeting sched-
uled for March 11 may provide
the answer.
"I am sorry my time has come
to an end," said Armstrong,
"but I feel [my husband] Dan
and I have brought the club up
to a great level and I would
love for it to stay that way and
even get bigger.
"But remember," she added,
"the club is not just for tourna-
ments. If there is no club, there
would be very few nets at the
beach."'
If all goes forward as planned,
the upcoming schedule inclu-
des the following events, all of
which will be held oh the
beachfront at the Comfort Inn
and Holiday Inn at 1st Street
North and 16th Avenue North
in Jacksonville Beach:
*April 22-23, JVC
Membership Tournament
*May 20-21, Mike Highsmith
Memorial Tournament
*June 24-25, Ocean Waves
Summer Blast
*July 22-23, World Gym
Summer Blast
*August 19-20, Smoothie
King Summer Blast
Before Miller expressed inter-
est, Armstrong wasn't sure any-
one would take on the leader-
ship role alone. She had made
plans to set up several teams or
committees to split up the job.
The team concept would
include one group to handle
arrangements for the tourna-
ments, another to take care of
all nets at the beach, including
their set up and take down, a
management team to handle
tournament check-in and pool
set up, a prize and T-shirt man-
ager or team, and an adminis-
tration team to handle the
paperwork for AVPNext; JVC

When you walk. in to the

and Htinter Douglas window
treatments. By the time you
reach the office and design area
in the back of the store, you
understand that the key word
in the Floors By Design name is
"design."
This is not your ordinary
flooring, and carpeting display
showroom. Floors By Design,
which has served the Beaches
for more than 10 years, is
"designed" to help you with all
of your remodeling, renova-
!tion and new-construction i
needs. Owner Keith Zipper car-

tinues to offer top-quality
products at competitive prices.
What makes the customer's experience at Floors By
Design different is the hand-holding and follow-through,
says Keith. "We understand how stressful remodeling, ren-
ovation and new construction can be, so we work hard to
ease stress."
"We hold hands, offer advice and are honest in fact,
we're not, afraid to tell you if we think something looks -
ugly," he says with a smile. "I doubt there is any other store
in the Jacksonville area that holds as many hands as we'
do," says Keith.
The Floors By Design staff members agree. In addition to
Keith, they include design consultants Shelley Dickerson
and Ron Caruso arid designer Karin Demme. Shelley enjoys
, working with people and helping customers see their deco-
;rating ideas come to life. Karin's 15-plus years of experience
as a professional designer allow her to envision and fulfill
Customers' needs. Keith and Ron have the installation and
hands-on expertise to oversee every project from beginning
to end and to ensure quality control on and off site. "For all
of us, the project isn't done until the customer is satisfied,"
says Keith.
Keith, Shelley, Karin and Ron make one of the most expe-
rienced and creative remodeling and decorating teams in
the area. "Each of us excels in certaj..areas., sp iwe t.hro.w all
of our different talents'together and make every project
work," says Keith. "We know how to work with color, con-
'trast, fabrics, flooring, counters, fixtures, window treat-
ments and even furniture arrangement to complete a
Design scheme," he adds. "It's amazing how dressing up just.
a. few minor details can make such a difference --no mat-.
ter if you've got a big or small budget or if you're updating
one window treatment or an entire house." '
Taking care of those details is what Floors By Design is all
about. "We all work hard very, very hard and love every
minute of it," says Karin, "but that's because we take the
time to understand what the customer is trying to achieve
in their home and sell products that will meet their expec-

B oth sheepshead and
whiting were hot last
week just in time for the
very popular "El Cheapo"
Sheepshead Tournament on
Saturday.
Tournament director Frank
Joura requests all entries to be
at the Captains meeting. on
Friday at 7:30 p.m. For ques-
tions about the tournament
call 241-0777.
'Capt. Mike Morris tried the
jetties on Thursday and had
no trouble catching his limit
of sheepshead weighing up to,
eight pounds.
James Gergley, Matt
Hamilton and their friend
Sam, put their fiddlers in the
rocks on Monday for a little
sheepshead practice session.
They caught 22 fish weighing
up to, 8.5 pounds.
Larry "Fishman" Finch was
spotted anchored along the
jetties last Monday and
Tuesday, mornings. He caught
his limit of sheepshead 'each
morning..
On Thursday morning, the
"Fishman" took ,George'
Atelevich to the rocks for the
toothy ones. They sacked up
their limit of 30 once again
with the fish weighing up to
eight pounds.

Huff on Kirk's "Enterprise" last
WIMPY SUTTON
FISHING LEADER
Wednesday spent the morning
along the jetties. They caught
11 sheepshead and a pair of
reds preparing for the
Saturday .tournament.,
Capt. Bob Ulrich and his
'wife Sarah on their "B.S.165"'
tried the bottom fishing about
10 miles off St. Augustine last'
week. They started ciff catch-
ing lots of seabass and beelin-
ers and ended 'the 'morning
with an 18.5-pound snapper.
Capt. David King was surely
the "King" of the whiting fish-
ing last week. Fishing off P.V.
from his "Crusty Crab" with
,his friend Sonny Ponce, David
caught coolers full of whiting
for three straight days..
Jacksonville Beach Pier fish-
ing picked up. considerably
'
over the weekend. As the wind
and current picked up on
Saturday and Sunday the
whiting started biting.
Phillip Grossman caught 35
whiting. Steve Gale cleaned 40
whiting and James McCall left
the pier with 65 whiting.
Hundreds of whiting were
brought off 'the pier on
Sunday. Bluefish, drum, and
yelldwmouth are beginning to
appear from under the pier,.
Capt. George Strate, on his
"MNayport Princess" with a full
boat 'of anglers, made good
use of last week's spring-like
w weather. Each afternoon they
returned to Mayport with
coolers filled with snapper,.
grouper, seabass and beeliners.
On Wednesday aboard the
"Princess," Matt Hamilton
happily showed his two 17-
pound grouper and 21-pound
snapper. Jonathan MOran
cleaned a nine-pound snapper
and every angler seemed to
really enjoy the trips.
Capt. George Bull. Jr. 'and
fishing buddy Steve Danzig
trolled the canal and creeks
near Nassau Sound last Friday
for 15 trout, 10 redbass, two
drum and a flounder. All were
caught from George's "Bionic
Bull."
See you at the "El Cheapo"
Sheepshead Tournament.
Good fishing.

upset of Tennessee on
Saturday may not have gotten

was a ring-dinger for the Tide.
The Alabama-Tennessee
rivalry has always been oneof

basketball even an upset over
the Volunteers doesn't: result
in mass celebration. Beating
the hated Knoxville gang in
football especially when
coached by arch-villain Phil
