Kohnke advises suing on 'egregious' redo


BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
For several Ponte Vedra resi-
dents, being "broadsided" last
week by changes in a commer-
cial development near Seaside
homes provides another' rea-
son for establishing a
Neighborhood Bill of Rights to
protect homeowners.
At Monday's Ponte Vedra
Beaches Coalition meeting,
Seaside homeowners com-
plained that they were not
informed of site plan changes
to Overlook V, originally
approved in 2001 as Porter
Place.

FROM STAFF
Rev Ramsey was the only
black student in his third grade
class, and the ridicule from his
classmates and even his
teacher was a crippling blow to
his confidence.
As CEO of One Economy
and Chairman of the Board for
Habitat foi Humanity
International, Ramsey h a'-

and managed bestow his expe-
riences on a group of
Landrum Middle School stu-
dents Thursday.
Ramsey credited, his sixth
grade teacher, who was white,
with sparking his interest in
learning and urging him to be
the best student in the class.
Now Ramsey strives to pro-
vide technology and housing
for people living in poverty at
home and abroad .
Ramsey reminded the
Landrum students of the con-
nectivity of people throughout
the world, and he told the
middle schoolers that even
they can make a difference in
someone's life.
On a recent visit to New
Orleans, Ramsey said, he not
only found devastation caused
by Hurricane Katrina, but also
hope, which can be seen by
people, black and white, rich
and poor, working together to
repair their community.

advised bringing a lawsuit
against the county.
"This is just another exam-
ple of what I consider slipping
and sliding that has happened
in this county in the last three
years," ',,,joinke said in an
iri,'viewi .4sday.
_'"his is'.a particularly egre-
gious case,,because Seaside had
to hire an attorney" to oversee
design of the original plans,
she said. "All this was worked
out in great detail."
The commercial develop-
ment is to be built on State
Road AIA north of existing
commercial space at Mickler
Road.
"It just puts more emphasis
.on the fact that we need the
Neighborhood Bill of Rights,"
said Clara Cowan, Coalition


president and Seaside home-
owner.
"Seaside got broadsided. .
but it could have been any of
you," Cowan told Coalition
members.
A Neighborhood Bill
of Rights, if adopted by
the county, would
require developers to
contact neighborhood
representatives about
nearby projects in
order to outline their
plans.
It would also give a
neighborhood legal Clar
standing against devel-
opers in court if changes were
made without giving notice .
The Coalition has been cam-
paigning for the adoption of a
Bill of Rights since late last


year, and Commissioner Ben
Rich of St. Augustine has
agreed to sponsor the resolu-
tion.
Cowan said the Seaside asso-
ciation hired an attorney in


2001 to work out a compro-
mise between homeowners
and the developers of Porter
Place.

JB mulls more outdoor seating


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
Whether or not to allow out-
door seating for restaurants
within 100 feet of an estab-
lished residential use in
Jacksonville Beach divided a
city planning agency Monday
over concerns of noise and
parking.
The Planning Commission
will send its split 2-2 vote to
the City' Council for considera-
tion. Commissioners David
Dahl and Greg Sutton, alter-
nate to the board, opposed the
amendment.
Julio Williams and commis-
sion chairman Terry DeLoach


voted in favor of the proposal.
Paul Schmidt and Lee Dorson
were both absent.
Senior Planner Bill Mann
said the planning staff pro-
posed an amendment to the
seating standards because the
ordinance limits restaurants
that want to provide outdoor
dining without music or other
disruptive entertainment.
"This amendment clarifies
that a restaurant with no live
music may be approved even if
they are within 100 feet of a
residential use," Mann said.
"That was basically picked
up from the standard condi-
tions that the Planning
Commission has developed

Past conditional use
approvals for outdoor seating
were granted by the Planning
Commission with the condi-
tion that no amplified sound
be heard over the property
line.
The modification also would
eliminate the provision requir-
ing 100-foot distance between
a hotel or lodging use.
Opponents argued that
allowing outdoor seating for
bats would open the door to
noise complaints and parking
requirements.

County boards
meeting today
FROM STAFF
The St. Johns Board of
County' Commissioners was
scheduled to meet with St.
Johns County' School Board
members this morning to dis-
cuss several issues affecting
both boards, including school
concurrency.
St. Johns County is one of
six counties in Florida chosen
to develop pilot plans under
the new "pay as you go" pro-
gram, in which developers
must pay for new schools
before their developments
impact existing ones.
SOn this morning's agenda
was discussion of an interlocal
agreement between the
municipalities of the count),
that must be completed by
March 30.
The meeting begins at 9 a.m.
in the superintendent's confer-
ence room at 40 Orange St.,
St. Augustine.


Negotiations with develop-
ers resulted in an increase in
buffering next to homes to 75
feet, and the placement of two
buildings and a retention pond
as far from Seaside homes as
possible, according to Cowan.
The new plans include one
29,000-square-foot building,
50-foot buffering and a reten-
tion pond closer to homes,
according to Brad Bowen of
Brad Bowen Development.
The start and completion
dates were also extended a year
to Jan. 22, 2007, and Jan. 22,
2010, respectively.
Bowen said his company
bought the land and the PUD
last year, and had no idea that
community opposition existed
or that negotiations had taken
place with the original develop-

Ponte Vedra's Architectural
Review Committee (ARC) Feb. 22.
In the ARC meeting,
Assistant County Attorney
Patrick McCormack said resi-
dents weren't notified because
the changes to the design are
considered "minor adjust-

In the county's Land

Mayor Peyton says father's
land offer is for Ponte Vedra


BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
Jacksonville Mayor John
Peyton told the Beaches
Business Association Monday
that his father's offer to
exchange some of his water-
front land along Ponte Vedra
Lake for a high school site in the
Guana preserve is not profit-
driven.
"He's really doing it to help
Ponte Vedra," Peyton told the
businessmen at the Jacksonville
Beach Golf Course.
"There is no profit motive, I
promise you."
Herb Peyton, owner of Gate
Petroleum, has offered to deed
50 acres of his Outpost land in
exchange for 50 acres of Guana
land along Mickler Road for a
Ponte Vedra high school.
About 150 people attended


two meetings Feb. 22 and
Thursday, when members of
the Ponte Vedra High School
Coalition made a presentation
on Peyton's offer.
Many residents at the meet-
ings expressed their support for
the deal.
Opponents, however, have
said the 75-acre site east of Davis
Park, which has been offered by
the developers of Nocatee at no
cost to the School District, and
is only about three miles away.
Others say asking the state to
exchange preservation land
could be a long process with no
guaranteed results.
The St. Johns County), School
Board has dropped the Guana
site from its list of possible
school sites.
The board is expected to
choose a high school site this
spring.

lishments with outdoor ampli-
fied sound must obtain a con-
ditional use permit from the
Planning Commission.
"If there is a concern, turn it
down," Planning and
Development Director Steve
Lindorff told the board.
Mann said the city would
rely on its noise ordinance to
enforce the standards for
sound requirements. The ordi-
nance caps the maximum vol--
ume at 75 decibels and all out-
door music must cease at 10
p.m.
"The police are well-versed
in how to do those readings,"
he said.
Darrell Shields and Bob
Kennedy disagreed. Both
appealed to city officials in the
past to help curb troublesome.
noise complaints from nearby
establishments with outdoor
noise.
Shields lives just 700 feet,
from. Adventure Landing and.
has made repeated calls to the
city's 'Police Department to
conduct a noise reading only
to be told that the officers are
unaware of the 10 p.m. cut off.
"If you are counting on the
noise ordinance to control this
you can forget that," he said.
"For bars, if you were to close
down outside drinking at 10
p.m. that might be more palat-
able." ,
Kennedy lives over a mile
away from a restaurant that
offered live music on an out-
door patio every Thursday.
Repeated noise readings
showed the business was oper-
ating within the limits of the
law but Kennedy said it was
like living in a "nightmare"
"I could hear the words in
my bedroom. The drums were
like machine guns," he said. "I
don't wish that on anyone.
Sound radiates. The ordinance
is. not clear."
Limiting term approvals for
one year is also an effective
method to monitor establish-
'enitsi'with outdoor 'eating,
Mann said.:
"They are performance based
and that is in place now," he
said.
"Whether it is in an old
establishment' that has had
outdoor seating 'forever or
whether it is one that is going
through your process, they'
don't get any special 'get out of
jail free' cards for noise viola-
tions." ,, '.
NMann said the city added
"qualitative standards" to.the
outdoor seating requirements
over the last three years to,
address concerns as they arise.
The need for an applicant to
obtain conditional use
approval and meet the city's
parking requirements for one
space per 200 square feet were
among the changes.
"All this does is give these
establishments the ability to
come to the- Planning
Department'to apply for condi-
tional use approval but they
still have to go through the
steps," DeLoach said.
Mann said a sufficiency
review is conducted to deter-
mine if a business meets the
* standards to proceed with an
application.
"If they come to our depart-
ment and make an application
and they indicate that they
simply want to dpo. outside
what they do inside, which is


dine and have a drink, than
that application would be
brought to this board for con-
sideration," Lindorff said,
"There is no change in
enforcement of the noise ordi-
nance for these places, There is
no change to the parking
requirements and they can't
count the space to get a higher
classification for a liquor
license. All of the standards
developed over time will still
be in place."
Lindorff said he thinks of the
amendment as an "equity.
issue" in that some establish-
ments "simply want to recog-
nize that they are at the
beach."
"When you are at the beach,
people like to dine outside and
right now because of the limi-
tations in the code'they can't:
get past our front counter," he
said.
"We are not taking away the
ability to make a call on a case
by case basis. Bill [Mann] and I
will still make a recommenda-
tion and 'this board as it has
will still have the ability to
prove, disapprove of approve
with conditions."
Wendell Finner said the
amendment was "a good idea"
as long as the commission con-'
siders each. applicant on an
individual basis.
"One of the tools [the board] '
will have in. considering them
on a case by case basis is the.
occupancy and the size of the
facility," he said. "Obviously it
. is going to make a difference."
Finner said.the current ordi-
nance "shuts out" restaurants
offering quiet tables for outside
dining just because they have a
bar within 100 feet of a resi-
dential use ... "
"That still leaves the ability .v
to say no, don't approve it,"
he said.
Keith Doherty, general man-
ager of Lynch's Irish Pub, sug-
gested that location should
also be regarded as a significant
factor when considering out-
door seating requests.
"I would like the commis-
sion to take into account
where the establishments are,".
he said.
"That should have a lot to do
with what we take aboard here.
We should make differences
between the business district
and residential district and that
should make everyone happy."

he said. "There are differences

"It might be different for C-I

Clegg said in a telephone inter-
view. :
"And in that sort of context,
people may have said the next
thing we'll be seeing is condo-
miniums," he said.
"I think what is important is
the level of opposition."
The Ponte Vedra Zoning and
Adjustment Board, which would
recommend action on the
rezoning to the St. Johns
County Commission, was
scheduled to review the request
Feb. 13.
But the issue was postponed
after opponents asked for time
to prepare their case.
St. Johns County planning
staff members also said they
opposed the rezoning, noting
that dividing the land into two
parcels would "contradict" the
county's Comprehensive Plan
and "would change the charac-
ter of the area."
Clegg and Emily Lunghino,

Clegg, however, has said-that'

He said Tuesday that he made
his and others' objections clear

"We clearly identified the rea-

The Leader's Opinion

No smoking policies


bring some real costs

A healthier work-force.- Lower health insurance costs.
Good ideas that most people are willing to support at
least in theory. The City of Atlantic Beach has recently
adopted a ban on hiring any municipal workers who
smoke. Just testing positive after exposure to second-
hand smoke is enough to bring about an employee's
dismissal
It is the current trend to revile smoking and its
attendant costs and there are real costs attached to
the use of tobacco.
Less obvious, though, are the costs which the city
will bear by adopting and enforcing a citywide ban.on
smoking employees.
Unemployment is at a record low in this country and
that means .fewer applicants are available to fill job
openings. While smokers are a minority, eliminating
them from the pool of qualified applicants makes it
that much harder for an employer to fill a position as
there are fewer potential hires.
(In addition, the cost of enforcing the policy
through tests may not be a significant cost, but it
should at least be recognized as a cost associated with
the policy.)
The Atlantic Beach Police Department has .had a
quiet policy of not hiring smokers for the past two
decades. No one is arguing against having fit police
--officers capable of giving chase without getting wind-
ed by smoker's cough. At the same time, it bears men-
tion that the department has also complained over the
years about finding and maintaining .a full comple-
meit. or6tfficerT -- --
A small municipality has a finite aminbUnt of---
resources to attract and retain employees. When poli-
cies are implemented that threaten to reduce the' num-
bers of eligible hires, we maintain that the policymak-
ers should have a frank, open discussion about the real
costs of such policies and not quietly adopt a citywiide
ban that could effect hiring the best and brightest for
a job.
The final decision may still be made to ban smoking'
employees, but the policy should not come as a sur-'
prise to the stakeholders in the organization in this
case the citizens.

Preserve!
So, the real environmental
issue with building on Guana is
less about the initial impact of
displacing, wildlife, vegetation,
etc. and more about the impact
of putting 50-100 acres of urban
development inside conserva-
tion land. By eliminating the
natural vegetation that provides
the filter for the lower Guana,
and replacing it with pollution,
cement, parking lot runoff
(from cars and tar), and fertiliz-
er on the land, all of that runoff
goes right out into our remain-
ing Reserve, including Lake
Ponte Vedra. It has an impact
that can be seen short term as
well as long term. Supporting
Davis Park as the preferred site
gives you a high school that is
close, on a larger footprint of
land, does not alter preserved
land, and it is FREE.
To some of you, Guana may
be only "scrub pines", "just a
turpentine farm", etc. but it is
some of the most topographi-
cally important land to the
entire 8000+ acres of the Guana
Reserve. If we really want our
children to appreciate our natu-
ral resources in Florida and edu-
cate them about how the choic-
es they make today .affect the
rest of their life, let's be a living
example for them. Say NO to a
high school in Guana.

Nostalgia was thicker

was American Legion Post
129's Mardi gras shindig on
Saturday. There was beau-

of the attendees.decked out
in appropriate costumes and
lotsa beads.
For me, though,, overlaying
the happy affair was the
tragedy of New-Orleans' hurri-
cane devastation. The French
Quarter is back, but much of
the city is still ir ruins.
The Dixieland music at the
party harked back to some
pleasant memories of
sojourns I've enjoyed in the
city.
On one, I'm coming out of
my bed-and-breakfast near
the Quarter and I hear the
infectious sound of jazz waft-
ed on the morning breeze.
Following it, I end up at an
archway entrance -labeled
"Armstrong." WVow, I'm think-
- ing, te i linoleUm' *cdmmpariy'

Inside it, however, I come
to a massive statue of Louis
Armstrong, with his trumpet
and ever-present handker-
chief in hand. It finally dawns
on me that the space was ded-
icated to perhaps the Big
Easy's most famous citizen,
Satchmo.
I keep hiking and arrive at a
full-blown outdoor jazz con-
cert in progress. That was a
super-syncopated way to start
a day.
On the same trip, which
happened because our
Jacksonville travel agency got
a free airline ticket (only one),
I ran across a voodoo shop. I
wasn't astonished to see it,
since the prevalence of
voodoo in the Crescent City is
legendary. In fact, a local tour
company has said, "New
Orleans voodoo is a special
magic born in this port town.
(It) was the perfect breeding
ground to host a tradition
that has earned her the repu-
tation of Voodoo Capital of
America."
Naturally, I was curious and
went in to browse. Many
accouterments of the cultism
were on display, such as
"magick" (sic) candles,
potions, ritual oil, and
voodoo dolls.
I considered bringing home
a love potion but had second
thoughts. My wife, Lucy,
already had enough love in
her. Besides, there was no
guarantee with it.
Today, I wonder how many
New Orleanians are disen-
chanted with a spell they
tried to cast on Hurricane
Katrina.

were in "Nawlins" later at a
great little eatery, soon after
she'd completed a series of
chemotherapy treatments.
Weakened, she tripped and
fell to the floor on the way
out. The manager looked trau-
matized, probably fearing a
lawsuit. She wasn't hurt,
though, and I soothed the
boss with, "My wife really fell
for your restaurant."

Singleton's Mobile Home Park

not for sale; park to stay open


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAfF 'RITER
With the closing of low
income apartment complexes
and mobile home parks, the
Beaches are facing a crisis as
affordable housing becomes
more and more scarce.
But property managers of a
mobile home park on Mayport
Road want the community to
know they are still going
strong.
"It is not up for sale," Denise
Greer confirmed Tuesday.
Greer said reports that
Singleton's Mobile Home Park
at 120 Mayport Road was clos-
ing were "not correct." The
impending sale was
announced last week during a
meeting of the Beaches
Housing Coalition.
"It got our residents in an
uproar," she said. "We've got
residents that are threatening
to not pay their rent." '
A .fact sheet distributed


Wednesday to about 25 people
attending the meeting at
Beaches Habitat warned that
the sale of the mobile home
park would result in a loss of.:
another "150+ homes."
Greer said the number was
also incorrect as the park only
maintains 59 lots and,all were
currently full.
Volunteers at the Beaches
Emergency Assistance Ministry
(BEAM) said they recognized
the 'error and are "investigat-
ing" the source of the misinfor-
mation.
.The Beaches Housing
Coalition is comprised of sever-
al agencies including BEAM,
Beaches Habitat,
Neighborhood Partnership for
the Protection of Children and
St. Vincent's DePaul.
The goal is to develop short
and long term solutions to
help the growing number of
families displaced by the loss of
affordable housing at the
Beaches..

PV's McVeigh says her" f amly likes it spicy


, by KATHYNICOLETTI
COLUMNIST
S since she-was a child in''
Huntsville, Ala., Eileen
NJMcVeigh has been inter-
ested in learning about cook-
ing and duplicating recipes
from restaurants And profes-
sional chefs..
Popular television chef
Graham Kerr, "the Galloping
Gourmet," was an early
favorite with McVeigh and
her younger sister, Kathleen.,
After watching Kerr's
award-winning cooking
show, the sisters copied,
Kerr's recipes and served
them to their family.
They also worked as a
team for Sunday brunch,
which the young girls served
with professional flair com-
plete with printed menus.
Another source of inspira-
tion, McVeigh said, were the
restaurants they enjoyed on
family vacations to- historic
areas of. the country such as
Savannah, New Orleans, and
Washington D.C.
The family also vacationed
in. Northeast Florida, and ,
McVeigh moved here after
. graduate school because she
said "it seemed like a fun
place to live."
She met her husband,.
Michael, here, and they and
their son and daughter live
in Ponte Vedra. McVeigh is af
realtor with ReMax Coastal
and her husband is a busi-
ness owner.
NMcVeigh organizes on
weekends for meals during.


the week and favors
Mexican, Italian, and Creole
dishes for everyday meals.'
The family likes their food
spicy and are always ready to
try new recipes and flavors.
McVeigh frequently starts
with a recipe from a well-
known cookbook or chef arid'
adapts the ingredients for
ease in preparation and to
suit their- preferences.,
The couple traditionally
hosts a New Year's Eve din-
ner party and McVeigh said
that she takes most of the
year beforehand collecting
ideas for this event. She pulls
together decorating tips from
television and magazines
and takes ideas from many
sources to plan the menu for
this and other parties.
Turtle Soup is one of
NMcVeigh's signature dishes
and one that is always on
her New Year's Eve menu.
Several years ago, McVeigh
had the hearty soup at the
famous Commander's Palace
Restaurant in New Orleans
after a Florida/LSU football
game,

She makes her own version
of the, soup based on the
recipe from the restaurant's'
cookbook. In place of the


turtle meat, McVeigh substi-
tutes chicken breasts and
boneless'pork loin chops.
She grinds each twice, once
before cooking and again
after browning to achieve
the desired texture.
For parties, McVeigh makes
the soup a day or two in
advance. She, recommends
only tasting the soup after
all the ingredients have been
added and all of the flavors,
have had a chance to blend.
McVeigh has used Apple
Brandy Cocktails as a fun
and festive way to greet
guests as they arrive for a
party. Coating the rim of the
champagne flutes with cin-
namon sugar adds a deli-
cious sparkle to the drinks.
San Francisco Cioppino is
a delight for seafood lovers
with fish, lobster, mussels,
clams, and shrimp in a
tomato broth. McVeigh
begins with a recipe from
Chef Paul Prudhomme and
eliminates some of the ingre-
dients and adds a few of her
own. She serves it over lin-
guine with plenty of bread
for the delicious broth.
Individual Cheesecakes
with a Mixed Berry Sauce
begin with creamy cheese-
cakes baked with a cookie
crumb crust. The chilled
cheesecakes are served with i
an easy berry sauce, made by
cooking blueberries and rasp-
berries in a buttery syrup fin-
ished with a little
Chambord.
'Bananas Foster is a dramat--"


ic flaming dessert which
McVeigh has made at mid-'
night for New Year's Eve par-
ties. This recipe also comes
from Commander's Palace.

The following are some of
Eileen McVeigh's favorite
recipes for entertaining.

because of academics,"
Holland said at her signing cer-
emony, attended by her' par-
ents, Marilyn and Charles
Holland.
"It's known for its medical
school, and I want to be a doc-
tor. So I picked it for that rea-
son, then it just kind of all fell
into place."

watched Holland pitch in a
tournament in South Carolina
and apparently liked what
they saw.
Emory has a 7-1 record this
season and is ranked 11th
nationally.
Holland has been pitching
for the Nease varsity softball
team for four years. She took
up the sport at 8 years old. She
also played two seasons of var-
sity volleyball at Nease.
"Volleyball was just a fun,
sport for me," she said.
"It wasn't a lot of pressure. I
didn't have to worry about
scholarships and playing well
in front of college coaches."
Her freshmen year, Holland
and Tara Permenter, another IB-
student who graduated in
2005, were Nease's top pitch-
ers. Holland was the primary
hurler her sophomore season.
Last year, she shared the
pitching load with freshman
Molly Manning, and it's the
same this season.
Holland lives in ,the Fruit
Cove area. It was the IB pro-


gram that brought her to
Nease. .
"She was actually recruited
by other colleges," Nease soft-
ball coach Jim Coleman said.
"She chose Emory because of
the academics,. She's definitely
qualified to go and play soft-
ball there. She does everything
that's asked of her.
"She will give it everything
she's got to the best ofher abil-
ity."?
In addition to being in'the
IB program at Nease, Holland
is also a member of the
National Honor Society arid
National Hispanic Honor
Society.
Her academic awards
include the 2006 Daughters of
the American Revolution
scholarship and 2005-06,
American Youth Character
Counts awards.
Holland is a captain of this
year's Nease softball team and
was a volleyball team captain
in the fall. She was Nease's
:softball MVP in 2004.


Yoga is my new drink of choice

M y latest attempt to try to save the rest.
of my back, my legs, my blossoming
mid-section, bad right knee, drooping
face, escalating blood pressure and really bad
fingernails is called yoga.
And in just a few new weeks, it has become
my drink of choice..
I've done yoga on and off, more
off than on, for the past 25 years,
and it's become more and more
obvious, to me as I limp through the ..:
days and nights of my life that this ,
is the time to move faster and not '
slower.
I've never been much of a slow
person unless, it had something to
do with the hard lessons of life
which I sometimes was very slow to
digest. Back in the 1960s, I started
jogging, have been an avid hiker, IRIS 1
played high-level tennis fora few GUEST 0C
years, love to ski, drink beer oops,
that's not a recognized action sport, swim and
pretty much anything else that involves mov-
ing.
But alas, at this stage in my life, I could exer-
cise around the clock, have water and celery
for my three meals. and it still wouldn't be
enough.
Damn menopause and aging bones and years
of bad lifting. I'm paying the price, but if the
price is yoga, bring it on.
Yoga is just what I need right now if I can
keep myself from screaming in class and break-
ing something while I practice in the living
room.


I've never been a smoker, except during
those occasional wild moments at a.party, so
'when I am doing yoga and trying hard to
make my legs go around my entire body three
times this is one thing I have in my favor.
Yoga, you see, stretches you on the inside
and out. It helps you align your inner stuff -
breathing and thinking and feel-
ing, with how you move and how,
especially, you should move.
My gruesome ruptured disc pre-
vents me from doing a number of-
the exercises, and sometimes, I.
have to improvise. However, all the
stretching and keeping my mouth
shut and relaxing, which is a for-
eign word.in my life, has already
made a huge change in my life.
For instance, I can now tie my
RADISH shoes without crying. Just the other
OLUMNIST day I was able.to pull on socks in
less than 25 minutes, and one
night, I fell asleep without having a pillow
wedged in between my legs to keep my hips
from sobbing.
The best part is that during the night classes,
the yoga room is almost dark. Our lovely and
terribly fit instructor lights candles and helps
us breathe so that when we move, we do not
pass out, and because of the dark, no one can
see me very clearly.
And I can't see them either.
Before you start with the yogurt and granola
jokes, go take a look at the yoga jocks and
jockettes. Slim, trim, fit and very happy.
So far, I have the happy part down perfectly.

Girls lacrosse blossoms at Nease


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS \I'RITER
In its sixth year of existence, the
Nease girls lacrosse team is enjoying its
first season as a varsity sport. The next
step in the Panthers' development is to
join the boys team in a push for sanc-
tioning by the Flonrida High School
Activities Association.
Panthers coach Mindy McCord said
there are currently more boys high
school teams in Florida than girls, but
anticipates enough teams next season
to have the FHSAA move the sport
from "recognized" to sanctioned.
Dave Shrum, a member of United
States Lacrosse, has been among those
spearheading the effort to make
lacrosse an official sport.
"The FHSAA has twvo categories for
sports, recognized and sanctioned,"
Shrum has said. "Recognized is 32,
sanctioned is 45. When there are 45
[schools], there will be a state champi-
onship."
The Nease girls opened their first var-
sity season Feb. 17 with an 11-3 home
Swain over Lyman of Orlando. Casey
Francis led the Panthers with five goals;
Jess Gimbel added a hat trick.
The Panthers played at Oiedo Feb.
24 and travel to Seminole Wednesday.
"There's a lot of potential here,"


McCord said of her 18-member squad
at a Presidents Day practice. "I think
we've narrowed it down to a point
where the kids here are very commit-
ted. Several want to play at the next
level, in college."
Among those looking ahead are
Francis, Gimbel and Olivia Creavy. As a
former college coach, McCord can help
them through networking.
"We invite any player out," said
McCord, in her first year at Nease.
"Over hall our team has never played
before. Our entire low starting defense
[in front of the goalie] is brand new
players. And they've done a phenome-
nal job."
Francis and Jaryn Thorndyke are
Nease captains. McCord's assistant is
Lindsay Burgess, a 2005 graduate of
Nazareth [Pa.] College, where she was
an All-American goalkeeper.
McCord ran track, then played
lacrosse for a year'after a program was
started at Westminster [Md.] High. She
played field hockey and lacrosse for
four years at Virginia Tech, earning
regional All-American honors. She
earned a bachelor's degree and master's
at VT.
McCord's first head coaching job was
at Oberlin [Ohio] College. Four years
later she moved to Western Maryland,
where she coached for five years before


coming to Florida.
Now a coach and recruiting coordi-
nator at Velocity Sports Performance in
Jacksonville, McCord also is a selector
for the U.S. elite and developmental
team. She has recruited and developed
23 regional All-
Americans, 10
All-Americans
and four con- There's a I

that's required. Nease girls hl
"It's basically
basketball on a hundred-yard field,"
she said; "but some of the rules are dif-
ferent."
Lacrosse has two 25-minute halves,
broken for intermission.
Casey Francis, whose father, Jack,
coaches the boys team, convinced a
number of her cross country mates to
try out for lacrosse. Those who made


varsity include Anna Egelin, Bailee
Hedstrom,- Nicole Nadeau and Kate
O'Lnn, who bring speed.
"They're very athletic, and they'll
help us immediately," McCord said of
the cross country girls.

S teams they're

she said, have

"It'll take
some time to

and develop a
game knowl-
edge," she said.
.ing about lacrosse is


you don't have to be the best team to
win. You have to have the most posses-
sion, and you have to understand the
strategy. Because unlike most sports,
you can hold the ball in lacrosse."
Even though lacrosse is considered a
non-contact sport, it's anything but.
"It's not," said McCord, "just from


the standpoint that you can check the
stick, and there's a lot of physical con-
tact you make as a result of going for
the ball." .
And that causes coaches to teach
safety measures and proper technique
to keep the game safe.
"That's always a challenge for new
players," said McCord. "They haven't
had experience with that. Get in a
game situation and they're excited,
aggressive. You want them to focus on
the technical points."
The thing McCord is seeking now is
depth.
"You want to get to the point where
you have a good bit of depth, players
who can step in and be as good as a
starter. That's sometimes hard to get
at the high school level because you
can't recruit players. You've got to
help develop them."
McCord appreciates the Ponte
Vedra Athletic Association lacrosse
program, which has helped develop
players.
"Developmental programs, such as
the one in Ponte Vedra Beach, are the
key to successful high school pro-
grams," she said. "Without that being
in place, you are never going to be as
good as other programs because
they're getting experience before
coming to high school."

"We're going to have a very,
very good team," Tayloi said at
an informal Presidents Day
practice. "We have roughly 130-
140 kids out. That's the most
we've ever had at Nease, in fact
the most for any program in the
entire school."
Nease's varsity., JV and fresh-
man football teams had 125
players.
"We've got a lot of good ath-
letes at Nease," said Taylor,
"and track and field is that
unique sport that offers some-
thing for everybody. We're
loaded in every area."
Tavlor used the 4x400 relay
team as one example.
"I will go on record as saying
we will shatter the 4x400
school record," Taylor said of a
mark that stands at 3:29.8.
Participants in the 4x4
record-breaking are expected to
come from among seniors
Austin Holmes, Rodney Sumter
and Austin Silvoy, junior Mario
Butler and freshman Alex
Bermudez.
Nease's season opens Friday
at Bartram Trail with the Barry
Craig Open, named for that
school's athletic director. Major
meets include the Bob Hayes
Invitational March 18 at Raines,
St. Johns River Athletic
Conference meet April 6 at
Orange Park and District 3-3A
track and field championship
April 20 at Ridgeview.
Taylor is hoping to hold a
meet at Nease for the first time
since 2002. The high school has
a relatively new track, put in a
couple years ago, but it cost
more than was expected. The
overrun meant field facilities
couldn't be upgraded.
With adjustments available,
Taylor's working on a dual meet
with Orange Park, where he
worked for 10 years, serving as
football defensive coordinator,
athletic director and track
coach, before coming to Nease.
He coaches jumps and sprints


and is assisted by James Thomas
[distance], Mike Brown [throw-
ing], Ken Fasnacht Jr. [hurdles
and sprints] and Frankie
Franklin [sprints].
The five coaches have a
young team. They have, for
instance, 45 distance runners,
only one of whom, Fernando
Guarderas, is a senior.
"Most of our kids are fresh-
men. and .10th graders, and
they're excited,"' said Taylor.
"We're working them incredi-
bly hard. They've hung in
there."


We've got a lot of good
athletes at Nease and
track and field is that
unique sport that offers
something for every-
body. We're loaded in
every area.


Ken Taylor
Nease track coach


Taylor expects junior pole
vaulter Michael Buchholz to be
a standout. Buchholz,. who has
tied Chris Hord's school record
of 14 feet and cleared 14-4 at a
summer camp, has his sights set
on 15 feet.
"Michael is the best in north-
east Florida," said Taylor. "No
one touched him last year. He's
going to be even better. We
expect to be over 15 feet, which
will make him competitive for a
potential state championship."
The other pole vaulters are
John Abrams, Matt Cote and
Arin Roby.
"I think we'll probably have
the best foursome in northeast
Horida," said the Nease coach.
Buchholz bettered 14 feet a
couple times last season, but
that came following competi-
tion.
"1 did 14-1 at St. Augustine

season, works with Matt Cote, right, on pole vaulting technique
at Nease High School.


last year," he said, "but that was
after the meet. My goal is to get
to IS."
Athletes from various sports
dot the Nease roster.
Sandalwood transfer Laura
Phillips, a volleyball and basket-
ball player, throws the discus,
while fellow hoopster Kelsey
Swendsen, who moved to
Florida from Washington State,
has put the shot well over 40
feet.
On the boys side, Doug
Polochak, who is headed to East
Carolina on a football scholar-
ship, will be throwing the dis-
cus. He learned from 2003 Class
2A state champion Scott
Clayman.
Soccer players out for track
and field include Lauren
Crossan, a sprinter, and Erin
Hoover, Stacey Hanburry, and
Jamie Silverberg, all trying out
triple jump. It was Hanburry
who scored the "golden goal,"
the state-title-winning goal in
Nease's 1-0 victory over Merritt
Island Feb. 11.
Taylor said he has two out-
standing female hurdlers. One is
senior Nikki Sheehan, a regional
qualifier in the intermediate
hurdles as a 10th grader.
Sheehan took part in the Miss
Nease competition last year.
"She is corning along to be an
excellent 100-meter hurdler,"
Taylor said of Sheehan, then
addressed the other female hur-
dler. "Newcomer Rosann
Emmons is a natural in the hur-
dles and pole vault. She's going
to be very competitive."
Emmons moved from
Maryland to Nease for her sen-
ior year. She will go to
Jacksonville University on a soc-
cer scholarship.
"There are a ton of football
players out," said Taylor, "all
with the expectation of getting
faster. And they will."
Taylor thinks IJV quarterback
David Brunson, who will be
working in the jumps and short
sprints, has "tremendous
potential."
Also in the jumps is Sumter, a
varsity kick returner/wide
receiver.
"He's never triple jumped
until this year, and we've got
him, over 40 feet. I think he
could be a 44-45-foot jumper,
which is state caliber. He's also a
great long jumper, an area
where traditionally we haven't
had anybody."
In the high jump, Taylor
thinks Bermudez, a freshman,
will jump 5-10 or better., Also
training for the high jump is
sophomore Ted Stachitas.
With the exception of
Guarderas, Nease is young at
distance. The girls' side includes
freshmen Brigid Byrne,
Savannah Spiker and Stephanie
Bray, in her only year at Nease
since her Navy father's next
assignment will take him and
his family out of Jacksonville.
"Brigid is great. She's a hard-
worker. Savannah is right there

with Stepahnie Bray," said
Taylor, who added that Bray's
loss will be a heartbreaker. "She
is just an incredible little ath-
lete."
Another strong suit is boys
hurdles, led by Ryan Ellis, last
year's regional champion. Also


out for hurdles are Silvoy, soph-
omores Blake Bennett and
Mitch Swanson, and junior
Christian Dennis.
"We've got a definite good
group this year," said Taylor.
True sprinters include Butler
at 100, 200 and potentially 400,


and Sumter at 200.
Taylor calls Holmes "our best
400-meter guy. He's worked so
incredibly hard." He expects
Holmes and Bermudez to break
50 seconds, which would make
Bermudez the first Nease fresh-
man to do so.

Morris Busbia, your local GEICO Insurance
agent, wants Beaches residents to know that they
can find the best prices in automobile and motor-
cycle insurance and the best service at the GEICO
office right here at the beach.
Born and raised in the Jacksonville area, Morris
has been serving the area's drivers as a general field
representative for GEICO for 18 years. For the past
13 years his office has been located at 997 Atlantic
Blvd. in Atlantic Village. He and his staff of four
agents would be happy to have you call or visit the
office for a free rate quotation. Morris says that, on
the average, GEICO has the lowest prices in town -
in fact, by as much,as 15 percent lower.
Customers have the advantage of not only the
great rates that GEICO offers but also the personal-
ized service and attention that only a local agent
can provide. "There may be some. misconception
that we principally offer insurance to government
employees, but that's not true," Morris explained.
"We insure the general public anyone who needs
personal auto or motorcycle insurance, and GEICO
even offers insurance worldwide." With offices
.across the country, you're always near a GEICO
representative and can remain insured by GEICO if
you leave the area.
GEICO can provide insurance to a variety of driv-
ers, .- even those with accidents or tickets on their
driving records. Morris is also happy to insure the
teenage drivers in your family. Also available is
Cycle-Gard coverage, which offers money-saving
policies for motorcycle riders and those who enjoy
today's popular bikes and scooters.
Morris and his .staff work with their customers,
and payments can be arranged to best fit your
budget. After the initial down payment you can
arrange to pay your premium in full or use a con-
venient payment plan. And after one easy phone
call or quick visit to Morris's office to establish the
insurance coverage that best meets your needs,
everything else can be. handled by telephone or'
mail. Their commitment to service ensures that
they will spend the time needed to determine your
individual insurance needs and to explain avail-
able options. .
Because GEICO has three separate companies to
insure drivers, everyone gets the best rate possible
.asted on theti driving record and circumstance'.-If-
you' have a good driving record, GEICO' .will give'
you a discounted rate. Ask Morris and his friendly,
knowledgeable staff about additional discounts
that are available based on affiliations with profes-
sional associations and special marketing cam-
paigns.
Morris and his staff work with the military per-
sonnel in our area and understand the special
:needs and situations of those in the service. After a
'transfer to another duty station, your GEICO
insurance can go with you.


,~


Morris Busbia and his friendly staff can help you with auto
and cycle insurance at the local GEICO office conveniently
located at the beach at 997 Atlantic Blvd. in Atlantic Beach.

Everyone in the office is well trained in auto and
motorcycle insurance, and they keep up to date
with the constant changes in the industry through
continuing education courses. They'll discuss
higher or lower levels of coverage and deductibles
and how these will affect your premiums. They can
advise you if you're buying or leasing a new or
replacement car on which models will cost more in
insurance. They can even bind and provide proof
of coverage for you over the telephone while
you're at the dealership.
GEICO offers 24-hour service for emergencies if
you just want to check on your coverage or make a
payment. If you should be involved in an accident,
you'll be relieved to know that GEICO has a claims
office in the area. If you have an accident while
you're out of town, you can use the convenient 1-
800 number. Policies can include emergency road
serviee-and,-o.rcge tO"p.T 'or a' Ental.'car
while your- cards being repai'red-atter an accident as
well.
Give yourself the benefit of coverage with a local
experienced insurance professional like Morris
Busbia and the other automobile and motorcycle
experts at GEICO.
The GEICO office in Atlantic Beach is open
Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
telephone number is 246-8650.

A record 170 boats in El Cheapo Tournament


C congratulations to Tyler
Patterson and crew for
winning this year's "El
Cheapo Sheepshead Tourna-
ment" last Saturday.
Capt. Patterson and crew
won a boat motor and trailer
from American Transmission
for pulling up a 10.5-pound
fish. A record 170 boats partic-
ipated in the most successful
contest to date. The big
sheepshead was caught off the
end of the north jetties on a
chunk of crab. ,
Everyone had a 'great time
and had high praises for tour-
nament director Frank Joura
and his committee. Check the
other prize and cash winners at
the end of this column.
Other good sheepshead were
reported ls, anglers tried to
determine where the big boys
were hanging out.
Larry "Fishman" Finch fished

last week and on each occasion
caught his limit. Vic Tyson
fished with Larry on Thursday
and they caught 30 sheepshead
. to 8.5 pounds.
On Saturday they,had over
40 fish but their largest was
five and a half pounds.
On :Wednesday, Butch
Garvin Lowell Breeding and
James Gergley took the "Early

his fishing partner Carson
Eddings, on the "Bionic Bull"

W while we wait with
baited, breath to see
what, the Jaguars are
going to do with the free
agency grab-bag, let ps comn-
mend owner Wayne Weaver
for raiding his piggy bank and
giving Coach Jack Del Rio a
well-earned hike ini his
allowance.
Our leader deserves a reward.
It's a relief to see him farther,
away now from going on relief."
On the NFL level, Coach Jack
has been way below sea level
among his fellow head coaches
and even if Jacksonville is
Smallville compared to the
other reams, it's no reason to
short-change the coach, who
bears the brunt of all the toil
and trouble.
On a comparative basis, how
many top players would be
bought for what Del Rio has
been making? True, players
have many mouths to feed -
their agents, lawyers, business
advisois and -so on.. But that
shouldn't detract from the
coaching budget.
Besides, Coach Jack was

good last season. He led his
people out of the dregs of los-'
ing (no playoffs). seasons like
Moses led the children of Israel
out of bondage. And fans,
friends 'and creditors all hope,
he will lead them to the land of
milk and honey this year.
It's good to see that harmony
is in the Alltel camp. Mr.
Weaver obviously approves of
the job that Jolly Jack is doing
now.. And obviously, for the
same reason,' so does Chief of
Staff James Harris, who has a,
lot to say .about everything


that goes on at Alltel. except
the price of the hot dogs. (We
mean the kind one puts mus-
tard on, no reflection of any-
player intended.)
The situation with Del Rio
having been settled, the next
question is who or what he'will
have to work with for an
encore in 2006?
Mr. Weaver has already made
it clear not to expect any big
deals.- disposing of the .,Big-
*Tfire., Actually it's the' "Big
Four Jimmy Smith and "Fred
Taylor are the Big Two and
Byron Leftwich is a Big Two by
Himself. Smith came with the
franchise and the fans would
demolish the stadium if old
Gator Taylor were put up for
adoption.
And we all know by now
that Leftwich -- Lord Byron
himself -- is a product of the
minds of Mr. WVeaver and Chief
of Staff Harris and is going
nowhere like a statue in the
park. On the other arm, nei-
ther is David Garrard, in case
some,' fiend injures Leftwich
again. ,
One of the best moves they


can make is the ie-signing of
defensive lineman Rob Meier,
who was making a career of
being ignored until this season.
Coincidentally, Meier was
-brought to light by stories in
the Beaches Leader. A noisy
guy would have raised h--- a
long time ago.
Well, good luck to the Jag
brains this week.. We can use
some fresh blood.
.Do not despair, JUT .fan.5 ind
players, .ithei'teams Fi'" lrost
24 games in a row and lived.
Your new athletic director,
Alan Verlander, should ask his
grandpa, who "is an avid
Georgia Tech alum, about the-
Yellow Jackets (back in the
1950s) losing 25 consecutively
in two years.
And guess what? The Tech
attendance shot up. It was a.
male school then and they all
wanted to be there when their
team finally won.
Tell Alan to'ask Gramnpa Ash.
This writer covered a lot of
those games for the Atlanta
Journal newspaper.
Maybe fans here will wake
up, too.
