Canine helps

EDITOR
SLx-year-old Brian McKee, a
Curious George book in hand,
was ready to read to Splash, a
big, furry dog, at the Ponte
Vedia Beach Branch Library
SWednesday afternoon.
What ihe wasn't ready to do
was ignore his trepidation and
get close to Splash, a 3-year-old
Belgian Tervuren.
Less than an hour later, how-
ever, Brian's book was resting
on Splash's back while Brian
knelt next to her and read from
the book.
The dog is used
"to help the
human relax,"
said her owner,
Imia Schwartz of
Ponte Vedra
Beach.

In a meeting Wednesday, St.
Johns County Commissioners
and School Board members
began the first stages for devel-
oping a school concurrency
plan, which will make develop-
ers pay for new schools before
they impact existing ones.
But Commissioner Ben Rich
said the new pay-as-you-go sys-
tem won't solve the problem of
overcrowded schools as long as
the Board of County
Commissioners keeps approv-
ing more developments.
"In order to solve your prob-
lem we approve more growth,
which exacerbates your prob-
lem; We throw gasoline on the
wildfire," Rich told School
Board members Wednesday.
"You're going to stay in this
problem. This [concurrency]
isn't going to fix it."

times dyer the past year, uses
the experience to teach pet safe-

"I have a certified therapy

take her into hospitals, nursing
'homes, schools."
On W'Vednesday, children as
young as Splash herself led the
dog by her leash, sat with her
on a blanket and gave her treats
supplied by Schwartz.
Schwartz told the children to
ask their parents and a dog's
owner before petting any dog.
She advised petting the dog

of the animal's
head so the

It's not clear who is having more fun: 7-year-old Nicole Piccione or the Belgian tervuren she's
reading to. Nicole read to Splash Wednesday at the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library.
At one point, 7-year-old
Nicole Picdone paused momen-
tarily while reading "Come
Back, Amelia Bedelia" to recover
from a friendly lick delivered by
Splash, who was lounging near-
by.
Reading to dogs "does help
kids to get over their shyness of
reading in front of other peo-
ple," said Michelle Kiley, assis-
tant children's librarian.
"They just have fun doing it."
Splash's owner says the dog
has three obedience titles, two
tracking titles, is certified by
Therapy Dog International, is a
breed and international cham-
pion and is an AKC K9 Good
Citizen.
Splash has begun working
with two Beaches children -
one with autism and the other
with cerebral palsy, Schwartz
said.
"I'm also training Splash to
be my own personal assistance
dog," said Schwartz, noting that
the dog picks up items on com-
mand and can remove her
owner's shoes and socks.
"She'll retrieve anything I
want her to," said Schwartz,
adding that Splash picked up a
pencil from the floor under a
table earlier in the day.
"It comes in really handy."
The following are upcoming
library events:
In honor of a visit from
Khaled Hosseini, author of "The
Kite Runner," there will be a
kite flying demonstration at the

Fehling agreed that the upgrad-
ing of school facilities is lag-
ging behind the courity's 6 per-
cent growth rate, but without a
school concurrency plan for
the future, that problem will
only get worse.
"The devil's in the details,
but without this we are going
to be in trouble," Fehling said.
On Wednesday's agenda was
a discussion of an agreement
among the County
Commission, the School Board
and the county's municipali-
ties.
This agreement is the first of
several steps before a concur-
rency plan is adopted.
St. Johns County), is one of six
counties in Florida that were
chosen to adopt pilot school
concurrency programs. The
pilot plan must be adopted by
December 2008.

60 Minutes
eyes local
for story
on drugs
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
Jerry Cameron, aide to St.
Johns County Commissioner
Ben Rich, has been asked by
representatives of the CBS
news program "60 Minutes"
for an interview on his views
on the legalization of drugs.
The retired law enforcement
officer and former Fernandina
Beach chief of police is an
active spokesman for Law
Enforcement Against
Prohibition, a group promot-
ing the legalization of certain
drugs such as marijuana.
"Toward the end of my
career it became obvious to me
that we weren't doing any
good [in the war against
drugs]," Cameron said in an
interview Thursday.
"No matter how many peo-
ple you lock up, there's always
more people to sell drugs."
Cameron said the United
States has spent more than $70
trillion on the war on drugs
since 1970, adding that prisons
full of drug users push murder-
ers and rapists back out on the
streets.

Neighbors learn lessons from tragic fire
To much of Ponte Vedra
Beach, the story of a home
going up in flames last Friday is
already old news.
4 For the unfortunate family,
of course, the event will likely
reverberate for years. Although
the three people in the home
escaped without injury, the
family suffered the loss of a pet,
their home and their belong-
ings.
Others on the fringe of the
tragedy are left with thoughts
of gratitude that humans were
spared, appreciation for a job
well done by the firefighters
who contained the blaze/ and
thoughts of taking from the
S event important life lessons,
some of which may be lifesav-
ing.
I am telling this story as both
a journalist and as one of those
others: My home is one of the
"two adjacent
structures" that
were of immediate
concern to the first
firefighters on the
scene.
It was around
dinner time, and
while no one was
at my home, my
neighbor across
the street, Richard ,
Nehrling, was in
his back yard with
his brother, Mike.
"There was like a IHAR'
strange smell," EDI
Nehrling related
days after the incident.
Concluding that something
was burning, he checked inside
his home, then resumed work-
on the backyard deck.
A few minutes later, the smell
was stronger, so he went to the

point ran
front 'ard, where
he saw flames
coming from a
gable in the home.
Richard ran to
call 911 while
Mike ran across
the street.
Inside, Mike saw
that people were
moving around
and smoke was
pushing closer
and closer toward
the floor, Richard
said. He ducked
down to avoid the
smoke, and at one
outside to get a
breath.
His brother told the family,
"We need to get out of here,"
Richard said.
The call notifying firefighters
is logged at 5:32 p.m., said
Jeremy Robshaw, public affairs
officer for St. Johns County Fire
Services.
The firefighters put on all
their gear except their masks,
jumped on the vehicles and
made their way to the scene.
Six minutes and 40 seconds
after getting the call, the first
fire vehicles arrived, Robshaw
said. To residents of Barberry, it
seemed longer.
The ranking officer on the
first vehicle on a scene takes
command of the situation,
Robshaw said. In this case, it
was Lt. Kevin Winters on
Engine 10.

Oh, the books you read!
A teacher at Ocean Palms
Elementary School is looking
for volunteers to read Dr. Seuss
books to students March 30.
Jamie Morgan, who teaches
third grade, said each of the,

need a reader for the "Read
Across America" program to
motivate children to read.

Each grade level has a partic-
ular Dr. Seuss book each class
reads, Morgan said, and those-

developers will still pay impact
fees even if they don't pay for a
portion of a new school.
But Rich said a recent meet-
ing with Dr. Henry Fishkind,
one of the top economic con-
sultants in Florida, revealed
that the county's impact fees
are 50 percent below what they
should be.
Rich said the county is in a
one half billion dollar "sink-
hole" for infrastructure
improvements, based on
Fishkind's analysis.
Commission Chair Jim
Bryant said the problem is not
funding infrastructure
.improvements but permitting
them.
"The permitting, agency
stopped it dead in its. tracks,"
Bryant said about an unspeci-
fied road improvement project
in the county.
Meanwhile, Commissioner
Cyndi Stevenson said the real
problem lies .in affordable
housing.
There will, be no teachers to
fill the. new teaching slots if
they can't afford to live in the
county, Stevenson said.
Crawford confirmed that hir-
ing teachers is becoming diffi-
cult in St. Johns County
because the School District
can't pay them enough to
afford a home, and driving an
hour to work is not appealing.
With all these problems sur-
facing, Stevenson said, adopt-
ing a school concurrency plan
seems like such a taxing exer-
cise for counties to go through
when perhaps the state could
have just cqme up with more
funding for schools.
Nonetheless, the commis-
sioners and School Board mem-
bers agreed that a school con-
currency plan is needed and
will help further the goal of
improving.school facilities.
"Absolutely, we need some-
thing in plate," Bryant said.

Rich encouraged Cameron to express his
views on the show, though Cameron was waryx
of the repercussions for Rich, who often votes
in opposition to the other four county com-
missioners..
Cameron has spoken before at least two
Ponte Vedra groups in recent weeks about a
proposed Neighborhood Bill of Rights.
Cameron's stance on drugs generated a com-
plaint from a constituent in late January.
A call to the office of County Administrator
Ben Adams. cited Cameron's statements on:

Jacksonville's Channel 4 News.
'Because aides are considered employees of

The fire was under control
"relatively quickly," he said.
Once firefighters go through
the structure with tools, pok-
ing, lifting and moving things
to assure there are no hot'

OUR MISSION IS TO PUBLISH
A DISTINGUISHED COMMUNITY
NEWSPAPER FOR THE BEACHES
March 3, 2006
THE BEACHES LEADER/PONTE VEDRA LEADER I
I The Leader's Opinion
Legislation
would protect
free speech
Legislation has been filed for the 2006 Legislative-Session
that will make it harder for plaintiffs to bring invasion of pri-
vacy lawsuits that punish free speech. This legislation will
correct abuses that have recently arisen under Florida law
and will protect the free flow of truthful information to the
public.
Over 200 years ago, prior to the American Revolution,
English law applicable in the Colonies allowed damages to
be awarded merely for publishing words that were harmful
to reputation. Truth was not a defense. To the contrary,
some courts followed the maxim that "the greater the truth
of the statement, the greater the libel." Fortunately,
American juries, state legislators and, ultimately, the U.S.
Supreme Court rejected this form of suppression of free
speech, .and today all speech about matters of public con-
cern is protected by the First Amendment unless it is shown
to be false, the.product of the fault of the publisher, and the
cause of actual injury.
Yet, the law applied by some state courts in Florida ignores
this histonc and important evolution of free speech protec-
tion' and reverts to early) English libel law-that placed little
value on the publication of truthful information. In "false
light" invasion of privacy lawsuits, plaintiffs seek damages
for publication of truthful information from which the pub-
lic might draw false conclusions about the plaintiff. The
suits are disturbing because any person can use them to pun-,
ish the publication of truthful information and, worse, to
deter the future publication of truthful information.
In a recent case, the Pensacola News Journal was sued for
false light invasion of privacy based on an article that the
plaintiff claimed implied he murdered his wife during a
hunting trip. The plaintiff never disputed that he had fatal-
ly shot his wife but contended the newspaper's use of the
phrase "shot and killed" implied murder. The article stated
-in a subsequent paragraph that authorities had determined
that the shooting was a hunting accident. Although each
sentence in the story was true and based entirely on public
records, the plaintiff claimed the -article placed him'in a
"false light," or, more accurately, placed him in a "bad
light." The jury accepted the argument and entered a verdict
against the newspaper for S18.28 million dollars. The case'
is now on appeal.. .
Other cases filed around the state by a variety of plaintiffs
also seek millions or even billions of dollars, in damages for
articles and television broadcasts that are entirely true and
based on information taken from public records, but that are
claimed to convey false and defamatory implications.
These lawsuits, often leveled against newspapers and
other media, can also be directed at anyone who publishes
truthful information. All persons and businesses must now
prepare to litigate the impression that may be created by the
, .truthful. reporting of the contents of. public records. For;
S--example, businesses that use public records to compile infor-,
mation for potential employers or to supply financial insti-
tutions with credit reports may be sued for the impression
created by their reports.
The United States Supreme Court, courts throughout the
nation, and even most courts in Florida have recognized for
many years that the "false light" tort is easily misused by
plaintiffs seeking to punish speech about public matters.
This has led many states to reject these lawsuits or to tight-
en the requirements for bringing them.
In a similar, bipartisan effort to correct this growing prob-
-lem in Florida, Senator Rod Smith (D-Gainesville), has filed
a bill (SB 1346) that will clarify the requirements-for bring-
ing a false light lawsuit. Representative David Simmons (R-
Altamonte Springs), Chairman of the House Judiciary.
Committee, likewise is supporting a proposed committee
bill to do the same, thing.
These bills will ensure that truthful speech is protected
"against "false light" claims just as effectively as it is protect-
ed against libel claims. This not orily will protect legitimate
reporting by journalists and the right of the public to .news
.and information, it also will protect individuals and busi-
1 nesses that publish truthful information as a part of their
businesses.

Biologist supports using Gu
To the editor:
I was a field biologist fresh out of college when
I joined "Friends. of Newport Bay" in southern
California as a field naturalist and Saturday pro-
gram docent. The purpose of this group was to
interpret the biology and history of the upper
Newport Bay tidal basin to visitors, thereby pro-
tecting it. It is a very important ecological habitat
for the migratory bird Pacific Flyway, then under
severe development pressure. A controversy
existed several years before, not unlike the Guana
Preserve question: a new college, the University
of California, irvine, was being developed just
south of the basin on its border, and the storm
drainage was being directed into the bay.
The important point for the purposes of the
proposed Ponte Vedra high school is what
occurred to solve the dilemmas faced by that
development. The UC system and regents
embraced the idea that the school was being
placed next to a protected habitat and made it
part of the new school's core values. Science and
anthropological sites, use as a natural laboratory,
research into the preservation of the bay, species
specific counts, development of the drainage
-infrastructure and treatment -system, and; other
activities, have improved the Upper Newport Bay
preserve, by making it into an integral part of-the
landscape there. Its future has been better secured
through this partnership, despite being on some
of the most expensive potential real estate in the
world, right next to the famed Newport Harbor.
There is an opportunity to do something simi-
lar with the new high school site proposed on
Micklers Landing Road. With some innovation
and partnership, the school could embrace the
Guana parklands as one of its core values. As.the
site was developed, special care towards maximiz-
ing similar values, as the UCs

To the editor:
On Monday night as I sat
and listened to everyone's
opposition to the outdoor seat-
ing that was being discussed at
the Planning Commission I
couldn't help but think that
that most everyone was miss-
ing what the intent of the
Planning Departments recom-
mendation was.
It is merely wanting to make
changes to the process that
would allow restaurants the
opportunity to have outdoor
seating. I personally welcome
this change and I do believe it
is time for it.
Jacksonville Beach has few
outdoor seating establishments
and now with the demise of
First Street Grille it has even
less. I am hoping that both the
Planning Department and the
City Council revisit this plan in
the form of a workshop. I do
believe that there are still issues
that need to be resolved in this
change in the process but I do
believe that it can be done.
In conclusion I do want to
stress that I am against any
outdoor bars that would allow
the consumption of alcohol
into 'the late hours of the
night. However, I do believe
that the Planning Department
is making a move in the right
direction with this proposal.
Lets keep working on this
together and hopefully the city
can come up with a plan that
would be agreeable with both
residents and restaurant own-
ers.

Please, learn etiquette
What would you do if
you sat down for din-
ner and saw an array
of flatware before you, knowing
that you only needed a knife
and a fork?
Well, one young man who
was a guest, among several oth-
ers, of a recruiter looking for a
new employee gathered up
everything he didn't need. "The
wait staff came by and he care-
fully handed them over and
said, 'I won't be using all of
these, so you might as well take
them.'"
Lydia Ramsey is recalling one
of her horror stories: "The wait-
er was so taken aback, he didn't
know what to do. I guess that
person had never seen that
much flatware."
Ramsey has seen and heard of
a faux pas or two. It's her busi-
ness, after all, to know what to
do when you sit down at a fancy
dinner or interview for a job or
introduce yourself or whatever.
She runs a business in Savannah
called "Manners That Sell" she
has a book by the same name -
and she does seminars on busi-
ness etiquette all over the coun-
try.
I told her of the time I inter-
viewed a prospective reporter
who ate an apple while he
talked.
"His mother probably didn't
think to tell him not to do that,"
Ramsey says. "l don't think I
would have said to my children,
'Don't take food into the inter-
view.' I think they'd have more
sense than to do that."
But what do you do when
your cell phone rings during a
job interview? A college student
asked that question just the
other day.
All the students looked at
Ramsey as if to say, "Of course,
we all have our cell phones with
us."
"Well," she told them, "you,
would turn them off, wouldn't
you?"' And that means before
you go for the interview. And
you get rid of your gum and bot-
tled water.
So, I ask, what's the big deal
about carrying a bottle of. water
everywhere? The etiquette
expert doesn't know,V bt she has
noticed that a cell phone and a
bottle of water are now essen-
tials of life.,
Lydia Ramsey is like me. She's
happy with plain old tap water.
But she knows some waiters
aren't happy with our choice.
She recalls the time in California
she and her husband,, Hank,
PHIL HUDGINS
COLUMNIST
were asked if they wanted water
with their meal, and the waiter
named two bottled waters with
French names and tap water.
"And he kind of turned his nose
up when he said 'tap.'
"So we said 'tap' kind of hesi-
tantly," she remembers. "And
when he brought it, I almost
expected him to be wearing rub-
ber gloves or something to put it
down. So we drank our tap
water and he looked down his
nose at us all night."
You see, job seekers, knowing
proper etiquette doesn't mean

To the editor:
On behalf of the children
and communities of Ponte
Vedra Beach and Palm Valley, I
ask that you support the NEW
Fee Title land exchange pro-
posal put forth by Mr. Herb
Peyton. He has offered to
exchange 50 acres of his 104-
acre Outpost parcel, for
approximately 50 acres of State
owned land for a public high
school in Ponte Vedra.
Mr. Peyton's land has been
identified by the Florida Fish
and Wildlife Conservation
Commission as a "high priority
acquisition," needed to deter
development along the shores
of Lake Ponte Vedra (Guana
River). His proposal would
allow the state to protect and
conserve 50 acres of high-
value, natural resource land it
seeks in exchange for 50 acres
ofiRine Plantation land,-owned'
by the state,"lbcated behind the
new Publix Shopping Center
on Mickler Road.
This NEW proposal needs to
be heard because Mr. Peyton's
"no strings" offer promotes the-
following benefits:

To the editor:
While I support our troops, I
believe it is time to end the
false and misleading recruiting
practices of our military.
According to the Marine
Corps Times, the government
has set recruitment goals that
are 7 percent higher than last
year, but most branches of the
armed services are below their
current recruitment goals.
The military knows they
need to make adjustments in
order to increase recruitment
but they should not be allowed
to take students' private infor-
mation. The military has also
started distributing video
games in an effort to connect

State Conservation Wins:
Public protection is extended
to 50 acres of higher value, nat-

has identified as a "high priori-

State and County Tax Payers
Win: At no cost, the State gains
50 acres of higher value, natu-

county also acquires 50 acres of
land for the high school at no

Our Kids Win: They will

games make war seem like a lot
of fun, something that can be
easily controlled, and if you get
killed just hit the reset button!
In real life, dying or having
your arm or leg blown off is
nothing like a video game. It's
for real, and it's permanent. Is
a few thousand dollars for col-

John Hardebeck:
De-clutter me
Spring spruce-up 'is beckon-
ing, and so I'm pondering a
once-in-a-lifetime project: clean-
ing out the utter clutter in my
house. After 44 years at the same
address, I've amassed a mass of
"items" that could-fill a landfill.
However, since I grew up during
the Not-Sq-Great Depression;. a
waste not-want not era, the-
prospect of removing all the
things I could never part with is
daunting. I might phone
Neptune Beach city hall to see if
there's an extra charge to have
the garbage men collect my
garage.
My wife; who passed away in
1998, was the direct opposite of
me when it came to "stuff."
Wherever she was, at home or
work, she was the first-string
pitcher. If it didn't have a useful
function, out it went. She want-
ed to de-rubbish my study but
refrained because several people
who went in there have never
been seen again.
We had a very happy, 50-year
marriage. Still, I consistently
picked up my socks, etc., and
took out the garbage because I
was always a little unsure
whether she was gonna throw
me out, too. Okay, that's a gag,
but since she died, I'm afraid my
pack rat penchant has become
more pronounced. If she were
warming up in the bullpen, I'd
call her for relief.
I'm obviously not alone on
this foible. There's an enterpris-
ing guy in New York, Ron
Alford, who calls my malady
"disposophobia: the fear of get-
ting rid of stuff." He runs a com-
pany called Disaster Masters and
offers professional help to peo-
ple whose digs have gotten so
overstuffed there are fire, safety,
and health hazard issues.
The implication is that such
folks have a mental problem.
However, I've always been able
to justify my hoarding. For
instance, I still have a file cabi-
net stuffed with customer docu-
ments from when we owned a
travel agency 15 years ago.
Then there are the broken chairs
that have been hanging in my
garage for about a decade. I fig-
tue that one of these days I'll fix
'em.
I must adr'itT,' f can Ialoit
hear my wife laughtfig' at nfe
while she purges St Peter's files.

S- Lacrosse earns key victory
ROB
DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR
WBC: A
good idea
that does
not work
It looks good on paper, but
the World Baseball Classic
is turning out to be a,
nightmare for major league
baseball players, managers
and owners.
Ostensibly, the WBC is the
first true international compe-
tition featuring 16 teams of.
all-stars from around the
globe.
, In reality, when San Diego
Padres catcher Mike Piazza
suits up for Italy, a country
he's never even visited, the
WBC becomes a farce. Gene
Orza, chief operating officer
of the players association,
convinced Piazza to play for
Italy and tried to get Yankees'
pitcher Mike Mussina to do
the same.
"I told him I'm not Italian
arid nobody in my family is
Italian," Mussina informed
the New York media.
Among the big problems
with the WVBC is its timing.
Play begins Friday and major
leaguers are still rounding into
shape after a long winter of
hibernation. It's pitchers that
are most at risk of doing dam-.
age to their arms by trying to
r.ow hard too early in the
they plan to take it easy, but
in a close ballgame the adren-
aline will kick in and the
temptation to reach back for
something extra on that 3-2
fastball will be hard to resist.
Boston Red Sox slugger
David Ortiz, who,will play for
the Dominican Republic, cites
the limited pitch count and
overall shape of the partici-'
pants as reasons play will be a
notch below regular season
level. :
"I see it like pretty much
spring training games," he
said. "I don't think any one
of the players is ready to play
a full game yet, so it's going
to be interesting."
Another problem with the
WBC is that it pits teammates
against each other. Yankees
shortstop Derek Jeter will play
for the United States while
outfielder Bernie Williams
will don the colors of his
native Puerto Rico. Will
Williams try to take Jeter.out
at second on a double-play?
How would combustible
owner George Steinbrenner
react to an injury to either
player?
But perhaps the largest '
problem with the World
Baseball Classic is that sortime
of the biggest names have
withdrawn. Stars such as
Manny Ramirez, Pedro
Martinez and Vladimir
Guerrero three big guns on
the talent-laden Dominican
squad have opted out.
Yankees outfielder Hideki
Matsui will not play for
Japan. Mariano Rivera has
said thanks, but no thanks to
Panama.
Initially, the WBC was sup-
posed to provide a test of the
best against the best, but with
so many late scratches it's
more like the out-of-shape
pretty goods versus the we're-
kinda-talented also rans.
The recently completed
Winter Olympics demonstrat-
ed national pride carn be a
great motivating factor. Many
participants in the WBC are
proud of their heritage and
wish to honor the colors on
the front of their jerseys.
But let's not kid ourselves.
Major League baseball players
truly play for only one color:
Green. There's no money on
the line in the classic, but
players will soon return to the
egotistical pursuit of playing
forthe name on the back of
their jerseys. That's when
we'll know it really is baseball
season.

The Nease boys lacrosse team
continued its strong start with a
morale-building, 11-8 win over
visiting Bolles'Wednesday.
The victory came on the heels
of two earlier wins, a season-
opening, 15-3 decision over
Maday, followed by an 8-3 tri-
umph against Episcopal, anoth-
er school the Panthers have
found hard to beat.
Nease lost at Winter Park 14-4
Feb. 25, making the Bolles win
that much
more impor-
tant.
Senior mid-
fielder Jordy
McManus and
senior attacker
Craig. Carson
led the Panthers
with four goals
each. Three of
McManus'
goals came in
the third quar-
ter, while PANTHER
Carson netted PANTHE
two in the sec- BULLDOG
ond.
Freshman attacker Brett Ang-
erer, all 5'7" and 125 pounds of
him, put two behind Bolles goal-
keeper Ryan Switzer, while jun-
ior midfielder Stockton, return-
ing from a shoulder injury, had,
a goal and two assists.
To most of the Panthers, the'
victory was. their first-ever
against the Bulldogs. That
includes Chandler Barden, one
of the team's four senior cap-
tains, along with McManus,
defender Rob Bauwens and goal-
keeper Zach Wondrow.
Barden is a defensive main-
stay at 6'5", 190 pounds, size he
used to play tight end on Nease's
state championship football
team. ,
"We never actually beat them
in the four years I've been play-
ing," said Barden. "We also beat
Episcopal, who we've never
beaten since I've been here."
Barden credited hard work for
the team's success. In that vein,.
Stockton, Bauwens, McManus
and junior midfielder Grant
Walker.
McManus, who beat Bolles as
a freshman, was pleased by the
result.
"It feels great beating Bolles
for the first time in a while," said
McManus. "I think we're going
all the way this year. I think we
played a very good game. We all
moved the ball around real well.
I think it's going to carry us in
the long run."
Thogh Bolles staged a mini-
comeback in ,the fourth quarter,
Wondrow thought the Panthers
defense held up well.
"I think we had a good night,"
said Wondrow, who has been in
goal for three years. "I think the
k middies really
played well."
Flagged for
penalties 15
times, Nease
played a couple
of men down
for stretches of
the game.
"I think over-
all we did
good," said
W.o n d r o.w.
"We're going to
S 11 'make .a good
S foundation
S 8 here at Nease.
We've got a lot
going this year."
Nease head coach Jack Francis
wrapped up the win by saying,
"The kids are happy. They
worked real hard. It got a little
too close for comfort at the end.
The good thing is we won."
Francis returned to the task of
improving his team.
"We also found out we have
some things, to work on. We
have some discipline problems,
as far as playing position, not
trying to take the ball away and
that kind of thing. I think we'll
get there. We're getting better
each week.",
Francis hasn't been surprised
by his, team's 3-1 start after going
7-6 last year.
"I think we're benefitting
from a couple things,"' he said.
"We have a more mature team,
and these guys are rebuilding,
kind of, from a lot of guys grad-
uating."
Nease is led by 11 seniors and
six juniors; It also has four soph-
omores and two freshmen,
Angerer and Matt Leighty.
"We have some work to do,"
said Francis, "but we're going to
enjoy this win right now."

Off to an undefeated start to
the season with a 1-0 victory
over First Coast Wednesday,
the Nease girls softball team is
entering a stretch of games
coach Jim Coleman feels will
reveal a lot more about his
club.
Nease (5-0) began its test at"
First Coast, followed by three'
more .road games: at Pedro
Menendez Friday, St.
Augustine "March 7 and
Gainesville March 8.
The Panthers host West
Nassau March 9, travel to
Palatka for a make-up game,
then host First Coast March 13
in a contest, that takes them
almost to the midpoint of their
season.
"We're coming along," said
Coleman. "We're going to play
some fine, fine teams." ,
The Panthers faced
right-hander Tiffany Byrd at
First Coast.
"Tiffany is a fine pitcher. She
throws heat," said Coleman.
"Menendez could do very well
against us., St. Augustine is
much-improved over what
they've thrown at us before.
Then we go to Gainesville.
"Gainesville is strong. We
come back to West Nassau,
then go to Palatka. So when we
get through that, I'll be able to
see where we are and where we
need to go," said Coleman,
who added, "I'm excited."

the third. She gave up one
walk.
Both hits Manning allowed
were almost-outs. Second base-
man Kayley' King and leftfield-
er Clare Wamsley made solid
plays on balls hit by Sharks
cleanup hitter Liz Parrish.
With outs instead of hits,
Manning would have had a
no-no.
King ranged far to her left in
the' fourth inning to get her
glove on a grounder hit
sharply by Parrish, only to
have the ball slip out of her
glove. And Wamsley, after
going deep to take a hit away
from Atlantic's Claire Grigg
leading off the seventh,
jumped to get her glove on a
line drive hit by Parrish, the
next batter, but couldn't hold
it.
Despite the result, Coleman
didn't feel Manning is all the
way back yet from basketball,
where she was Nease's leading
scorer.
"I did not think she had her
really good stuff tonight. I've
seen her pitch better," said
Coleman. "But one of the great
things about Molly is when
she doesn't have her great
stuff, she still battles."

The Nease boys and girls

"We have
a 'very young team this year,"
said girls coach Mary Faulds,
membership director at the
ATP Tennis Club who's in her
second year at the Nease helm.
"Taylor Crosby is a freshman.
She is a state-ranked and
nationally ranked player. She is
very poised."
Along with Crosby, who is
No. 15 in singles for 14-year-
olds in Florida, Faulds has one
senior, team captain Alexis
Perry, and one junior on her
12-player roster. The rest are
sophomores.
"I anticipate being the St.
Johns conference champs
again and I believe this will be
a district win for our girls this
year," said Faulds, noting that
Bolles, Nease's longtime neme-
sis, is no longer in the same
district. "Gainesville will prob-
ably be our toughest competi-
tion."
On the boys side, Alex
Teppert, the Nease No. 2, filled
in for lIad Mavropoulos at No.
1 and won 8-0. Teppert and
Mavropoulos, last year's state
singles runner-up to Matt
Schimmel of Bolles, 'teamed at
first doubles to win 8-0.
Last year's No. 2 and
Mavropoulos' doubles partner,
Curt Maddox, has transferred
to a tennis academy. Teppert,
another 14-year-old, is a
ranked junior player.
"He has nowhere to go but
up," said new
boys coach
Rob Strider,

"It's young
but it's very experienced, ten-

first Nease team. "They all play
in tournaments. A lot are
ranked in the juniors. We're
going to be around a long
time, give everybody a run for
their money."
The Nease boys won their
first two matches, at home to
Bishop Kenny and at St.
Augustine. A Feb. 22 match in
which they were losing to
Bolles was postponed.
'The girls also defeated the
Crusaders and the Yellow
Jackets. Their Feb. 23 home
match with Providence was
cancelled. They play at
Providence April 4.
Strider also has his sights set
on a district title.
"It is a very big possibility,"
he said, "which means we'll go
on to the regionals, and maybe
even go downstate. And it's
always best to go as a team."

Where were you "when
the music died"? Or.
better yet do you
know who "the music" was?
Of course, it was along time
ago and in reality there are
more people alive, today that
were not alive then and there
are people who are still alive
now that were alive then.
Confused? Me too. The
music was Buddy Holly who
was named the music in a 1971
song titled American Pie, writ-
ten by Don McLean. Buddy
was to. rock and roll music
what Curt Gowdy was to hun-
dreds of thousands of aspiring
young men and women of the
.sixties and seventies who were
hooked on fishing.
Back in the day of Curt's
show,,. "The American
Sportsman," viewing fishing
on television was severely lim-
ited.
Let's see we had, Gadabout
Gaddis, and locally, Monroe
Campbell. Gadabout was an
older gentleman whose show
was basically about his fishing,
exploits where he piloted his
small plane to remote places in
the northern U.S. and Canada
chasing muskies and walleyes.
That show was, well, to a
young man in Florida less than
inspiring. Don't get me wrong,
it was a good show but catch-
ing walleyes has got to.be, kin
to catching saltwater sail cats.
CAPTAIN
ROGER WALKER
COLUMNIST
You know) get sail cat slimie on
you one time and you've defi-
nitely had enough for the day.,
Another problem Gadabout
had was unfortunate timing.
The Great Lakes and many of
the southern Canadian lakes of
the time were very polluted
and almost devoid of sporting,
catchable fish. That's probably
why he had to fly to his fishing,
holes.
Roper and Ebert would have
given Gadabout two thumbs
up but they probably: like
Broke Back Mountain too, so
you be the judge of their cred-
itability.
Now, Monroe Campbell .is
another story entirely. Monroe
did a show on Thursday nights
for public television Channel
A'~.
/
SPnoto suOm.lne
Capt. Bob Ulrich with an 18.5-pound genuine red snapper
caught about 20 miles east of Mayport on Feb. 18.
7. His format was simple, go
fishing, film his guest and him
catching fish, and show 15
minutes of the film during his
show. The remaining 15 min-
utes of the show'was live call in
question and answer.
. As a photographer, Monroe
was a little lacking. The quality
wasn't there but it's easy to
understand that it could be
hard to fight a fish on a small
spinning rod while at the same
time trying to film that.same
fight.
But who cared? Monroe
fished both saltwater and
freshwater locally and he did
catch fish. The best part of his
show though' was the 15-
minute live call in. I do a live
call in show on radio on
Saturday mornings and we
have what is known as a seven
second delay. In other words, if
a caller say something inappro-
priate our producer has a
seven-second window to bleep
the inappropriate part of the
conversation. FCC regulations,

would all have spent Sundayi
afternoons mindlessly watch.-
ing people go around in circles
bumping into each other.
Hold it, that kind of sounds
like NASCAR. Anyway, Curt
was known to fish some of the
more exotic places and for real
manly-man fish. Let's see, big
blue marlin in Central America
all the way to tarpon and bone-
fish in the Bahamas and Keys.
It was a new adventure every
Sunday.

Williams. Ted liked fishing in
Florida and I also remember
him catching tarpon on the
west coast. What a strong fish.
Yes, Curt Gowdy had other
great things to his credit like
announcing televised Super
Bowls and World Series games.
And yes, he was a great radio
announcer. He even owned
five radio stations.
But to me he was the music.
He was an inspiration on-
Sunday afternoons that gave
myself and thousands of oth-
ers the bug to sport fish.
Where was I when the,
music died last week? Why
out on the Atlantic Ocean 45
miles offshore catching red
snapper and grouper, of
course. Although we never
met, I'm 'sure he would have
approved. .

Leeches for pain relief?
New study supportsit
: yet's say that you go to the
doctor for some ongoing
pain that you have been
having in your knees. You tell
him about how they ache, swell;
and grind when. you move
them. You have tried some
medications such as Aleve and
Advil, but they are still bother-
ing you, and you are interested
in what other treatments are
available.
So what would you think if he
told you. that he had some
thoughts about trying leeches
on your knees? Leeches? Yes,
leeches.
According to a recent study
from the Annals of Internal
Medicine leeches may provide
relief against the pain of arthri-
tis. Apparently, leech saliva
contains several anti-inflamma-
tory substances, and in as little
as one treatment of four leeches
placed on the knee, pain was
reduced.
The topically-applied leeches
are believed to release their sali-
va into the local soft tissues,'
thus alleviating pain. In the;
past, topical creams containing
anti-inflammatory, medicines
have been shown to be effective'
against arthritis pain and
researchers were interested in'
comparing the two against each
other.
"3 V.
GREGORY
SMITH, M.D.
CONTRIBUTOR
In this particular study, physi-
cians studied 51 patients with
knee osteoarthritis. Each was
given a single treatment of four
to. sip leeches applied to the
knee, or a 28-day topical cream
containing the nonsteroidal
drug diclofenac,
Researchers monitored each
patient's pain, function, and
stiffness. They found that after
one week, arthritis pain was
reduced considerably after leech
therapy more so than with
the topical cream. The leech
therapy group also had better
relief from stiffness.
Now, I have to admit that I
cannot foresee this becoming a
regular part of anyone's practice.
I just can't see patients lined up
in the office' with the little
blood-suckers their arthritic
joints.
, However,, it is certainly fore-
seeable that the active ingredi-
ent in leech saliva could be
chemically duplicated and then
used in either an oral or topical
form.
, Dress for the crash,
not the ride
Earlier this week I had to take
a young man to late-night emer-
gency surgery after he crashed
his motorcycle. He sustained
terrible contaminated road
burns, several lacerations, and
fractured his collarbone.
He was not wearing a helmet
and is lucky he didn't sustain a.
severe' head injury or even lose
his life. .
I heard one of my staff, who'
does happen to ride a motorcy-
cle say to "dress for the crash,
not the ride." I found this quite
a profound statement.
'When you are in a car, you are
required to wear a seat belt and
are likely protected by an airbag.
But on a motorcycle, you really
aren't required to wear a thing.
That .doesn't make sense to me.
I know that you're not required
by law to wear a helmet, but it
just makes good sense. Think
about it.

COLUMNIST
March is month
to feed the grass
T here is a nursery that I,
pass nearly every day
and its billboard says,
"Spring is near, time to pre-
pare."
This is exactly what this
time of year is all about for
the homeowner who has an
interest in maintaining an
attractive yard.
And, I cannot imagine
any homeowner who would
want to let their landscape
deteriorate.
A nicely kept yard only
increases the value of one's
home, tremendously.
This is also the time of
,year when we just want to
be outside, working and
planting.
It is warm, but not too
, warm, it is sunny, but not
scalding, and the dirt smells
so good when turned over
with a shovel.
So, let's prepare, and in a
month, I promise you will
be reaping all the rewards.
Let's look at the lawn first.
Chances are it still looks
pretty lousy from winter. It
is brown, except for those
dang weeds that are green
and overly obvious.
It is sparse in areas, and
perhaps in many areas it
really looks dead.
Depending on where you
live, yours might be turning
green already which means
you will be among the lucky
iew to get the lawnmower
ready for its first spring
fling.
If you already feel over-
whelmed, just take a cup of
coffee with you for a leisure-
ly stroll through your yard,
mentally making a few
notes of things to do later.
It can be overwhelming,
and although I am making
light of that fact, the early
spring seems to show what
is the worst in our yards,
and it is very easy to say, the
hetk with all of it, I can't
handle it.
I've been there, all too
many times, and if there
have been a few extra coins
kicking around, my great
yardman comes and takes
away the sting. But we are
retired now, and there are
not so many of those coins
clanging, so more of the
yard work must come from
my husband and myself.
So, trust me, I am with
you on that stroll of inspec-
tion.
Later on this month you
will want to do the one
chore that is the most
important to getting the
lawn off to a good start, and
actually if you do that, you
are many steps ahead.
Fertilizing, simply giving
food to the grass, is the
number one job for the
month of March.
Grass needs food to sur-
vive just like we do, and
March is the month to feed
it.
The word for that is fertil-
izing since there are many
types of lawn food available.
It can be very confusing, so
I will try to keep it very sim-
ple. Before you even go to
the store, walk the perimeter
of your yard so you know
how many square feet you
have to feed.
Do not forget to remove
From that figure the size of
your house and garage, out-
buildings, swing sets, etc. A
little bit of that third grade
math is needed, but armed
with the square footage of
your lawn will come in
handy.Very often over the

1966. Dublin's Evening Herald newspaper ran the photo with the caption, "Runner turns priest."
Fr. Meehan celebrates
long run of priesthood
by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
I ASSOCIATE EDITOR
During one of his long runs through
Dublin's sprawling Phoenix Park,
Father Joe Meehan stumbled onto his
true calling.
Instead of pursuing an accounting degree
at a local college and running for Dublin's
famed .Donore Harriers, Meehan would
become a man of the cloth.
"I thought I. wanted to be an accountant,"
Nfbehan recalled Monday at his parish office
at St. John The Baptist Catholic Church in
Atlantic Beach.
"I was more keen on running than. any-
thing else. Then one day during one of my
runs I thought, 'There has to be something
better to do with my life.' "
Meehan was 21 at the time an'd a member
of an amateur running club that won a
record 16 All-Ireland cross country titles.
One of his teammates, Bertie NMessit, would
go on to win a gold medal in the 1956 World
Championships.
Meehan was fast, too. He could crank out
5-minute miles with no problem. He once
clocked 31 minutes for a 6-mile run.
Meehan also played soccer. He knew sports
would be hard to give up if he were to
choose the priesthood.
It all worked out in the long run.
Meehan went on to play soccer and run
cross country for the University of Fribourg
in Switzerland, where he graduated with a
theology degree.
Sunday marks his 40th anniversary as a
priest. The Dublin native will celebrate the
milestone with family and friends at the
same church where he was ordained: Our
Lady of the Angels in northern Ireland.
Meehan left Thursday for Dublin, where
temperatures are in the single digits this
time of year.
"I've got thermal underwear in my suit-
case," he said.
Building specialist
Meehan has been the pastor at St. John's
since 1993.
Unlike many of the more than two dozen
Irish priests on the First Coast, Meehan did
not attend a seminary in Ireland and was
not specifically recruited to be a priest in
Florida.
He went to a seminary in England and
spent 11 years as a priest at St. Francis de
Sales Catholic Church in South London.
In 1977, he was sent to America to replace
an English priest at St. Patrick's Catholic
Church near Atlanta.

Pirates to 'sack' St. Augustine on Saturday
FROM CONTRIBLTOR
Villainous pirates will once
more hold St. Augustine in
their grip when an authentic
re-creation of one of the dark-
est days in the Oldest City's
long history takes place
Saturday.
The event begins at 9 a.m.
at the Fountain of Youth Park
and is open to the public.
Authentic 17th century
weapons, equipment and
food will be on display.
Admission to the park is $6
for adults and $3 for children.
The "Sack of St. Augustine:
Captain Robert Searle's Raid
of 1668" will provide specta-
tors with a vivid look at the
horrors inflicted on the city's
residents by marauding
pirates of the Caribbean. "
Sailing fomrn Jamaica to loot
the silver ingots stored in the
Royal Treasury in St.
Augustine, Searle and his men
descended on the sleeping
city under cover of darkness
and proceeded to sack the
town.
By morning, 60 of St.
Augustine's men, women and
children were dead in the
streets. When their looting
was complete, the pirates ,
selected every St. Augustinian
they considered to not be of
"pure Spanish blood" and
sailed away with them as cap-
tives to be sold into slavery.
As a result of this horrible
raid, Queen Mariana of Spain
authorized funding to build
the Castillo de San Marcos a
fortress that not only discour-
aged future pirate attacks, but
also serves today as a
reminder of St. Augustine's
long role as an important
outpost of the Spanish
Empire.
At 5 p.m., the pirates will
begin their attack on the city
by assaulting Spanish defend-
ers at the Plaza de la
Constitucion.
The re-enactment is free of
charge and spectators can
join the retreating soldiers
and townspeople as they flee
for their lives up historic St.
George Street.
For more information on.
Searle's Raid, go to www.sear-
lesbuccaneers.org or call 1-

The event is funded in part
by a grant from the St. Johns

Council.
Bolton to debut surf film
series at Atlantic Theatres
by JENNIFER KNOECHEL
'STAFF WRITER
Award-winnhiig' u'rf films
"Get in the Vidfi"' and "All
Aboard the Crazy Train" kick
off the inaugural First Coast
Surf Movie Series March 7 at
Atlantic Theatres.
Josh Bolton, producer of the
surf film, "Drawing Lines," and
founder of the series, coordi-
nated the showing of 16 surf
movies every Tuesday through
April 28 at 751 Atlantic Blvd.
Admission is $5 for two
movies. Showtimes begin at
7:30 p.m.
"I'm a fan of surf movies so I
got all the movies together
that I would like to see on the
big screen," said Bolton, an
Atlantic Beach resident whose
film documents two surfers
following the 2005 hurricane
season.
"I figured other people
would like to see them, too,
plus it's a great way to give
filmmakers more exposure."
"Get in the Van," won video
of the year for 2005 by East
Coast Surf magazine, and "All
Aboard the Crazy Train," fea-
turing tow-in surfer Laird
Hamilton, won best short film
documentary at the Maui Film
Festival.
Tom Fallon, general manager
of Atlantic Theatres, said he
had considered the idea of
running a surf series after the
success of Mitch Kaufmann's
documentary on the history of
local surfing premiered there
last fall.
Kaufmann, director of the
Eastern Surfing Association
North Florida District, pro-
duced the documentary as part
of a fundraiser for the
Jacksonville chapter of the
Surfrider Foundation.
"We had brainstormed doing
independent films here and
when Josh came in with his
idea we said sure we'd go for
it," Fallon said.
"I know Josh is working
hard to promote it and we are
open to that kind of develop-
ment of our spaces here so the
community being able to use
them for projects of all kind."
The film lineup is as follows:
March 7: Get in the Van,
All Aboard the Crazy Train
March 14: State of S: Full
Circle, Drawing Lines
March 21: NRG Crisis,
Ishmnael
March 28: Unsalted, Back to

April 4: North of Nowhere.

very year, I'm expected to
write some sort of col-
umn about the Oscars.
And ever' year, I feel guilty
about it.
I'll admit, I'm not the most
"hip" movie critic. As of this
writing, 1 have not seen two of
the Best Picture nominees,
"Crash" and "Good Night and
Good Luck."
I'd love to be as intense a
critic as Roger Ebert, if only I
had his means. I expect I
won't make it to the Sundance
Film Festival even once in my
life, as Ebert regularly does.
And no critic I know pulls
down the six-figure salary that
Ebert commands.
Then again, it's hard to feel
too guilty about it. To name
just two examples: "Hustle
and Flow" and
"Transamerica," which have
been nominated for Best Actor
and Actress, have not yet
made it to Jacksonville.
So I couldn't be a well-
informed critic even if I tried.
That said, here are some
random observations about
this year's Oscar nominations.
Best Picture: Due to its
combo of Steven Spielberg and
serious subject matter, I fully
expect "Munich" to win,
though I think it was wildly
overpraised. I'd be thrilled to
see either "Capote" or
"Brokeback Mountain" win.
But both prominently fea-
ture gay subject matter and
judging from some hate mail
(anonymous, of course that I
received for praising
"Brokeback," I'm not sure that
many of the Academy's elder
voters are much more open-
minded.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
just has to win Best Actor for
"Capote." He didn't play
BAILEY
REVIEWER
Truman Capote, he inhabited
him.
Best Animated Feature:
"Howl's Moving Castle" is
another Jax no-show. Of the
other noms, "Wallace &
Gromit" and "Tim Burton's
Corpse Bride" are both
delightfully offbeat and Oscar-
worthy.
If "March of the Penguins"
doesn't get named Best
Documentary Feature, it cer-
tainly wins for Best Guilty
Pleasure. Darned little birds.
How time flies. Remember
1977, when the original "Star
Wars" was up for Best Picture
but Woody Allen's "Annie
Hall" won?
This year, the final "Star
Wars" entry got nominated
only for Best Make-Up,
though I'd venture-that it was
far more engrossing than
other nominated movies,
including Allen's "Match
Point" (up for Best
Screenplay).
"War of the Worlds" and
"King Kong" got only some
technical nominations.-
I guess, as the great Pauline
Kael once said, there is'a sepa-
rate god for the movies after
all.

lock the number in.
Then, again keeping it very
simple, buy your fertilizer.
This can be a challenge, espe-,
cially if you get into a compli-
cated conversation with a
salesperson who might give
you much more information
than you need to know. We
are not worrying about bugs,
weeds, or anything else except
food for the lawn right now.
So, look for a bag that has,
three numbers on it'that are
something like 15-0-15, 20-5-
10, 16-4-8, and that has the
number of square feet you
have to feed.
Yes, you may need'to buy
several bags to get the total
amount of square footage cov-
ered, but so it goes.
Try not to buy the least
expensive nor the most
expensive; suffice it to say
that either one will have some
components that you either
do not need right now or that
are detrimental to the initial
feeding of the lawn.
Again, keep it simple and it
will not overwhelm you. If
you know what you need,
that chatty salesperson will
not be able to confuse you
either.
You will need something to
spread this food with, so if
you have to buy or rent a
spreader, now is the time.

Luckily, they are not terribly
expensive, and if I had a
choice, I'd buy the rotary '

more fertilizer at a time and it
seems to spread more evenly

lenged people like me.

the wheel marks are from the
last path I made. Ever have' a

lighter in color than others?.
That's when you got distract-

helps, but is not absolutely
critical, to pull out any of
those obvious green weeds.
Why feed those guys when
we want them gone? The
same is true if you are pretty
sure there are some dead areas
in the lawn; pull them out so
as the food reaches the: I
healthy spots, it can feed and'
encourage new roots to devel-,
op and grass blades will fill in
the emptyspaces. Make
sense?
Next, check your fertilizer
bag and see if the instructions
tell you to water the lawn
before or after spreading the
product.

Most brands want us to
water lightly after spreading,
which breaks down the gran-

REVIEWER
with it.
But TV horror fans revere
,McGavin's portrayal' of jaded,
Las Vegas reporter Carl
Kolchak, who suddenly finds
he has a vampire to hunt
down in "The Night Stalker"
(1973), a famed TV-movie
that spun off into a short-
lived TV series and continues
to inspire (Chris Carter cited
it as a creative source for his
show "The X-Files"). ,
Don Knotts, who died last
Friday at age 81, also had a
long career in TV and
movies.
His first claim to fame was,
as a nerve-racked man-on-
the-street being interviewed
by Steve Allen in the first era
of 'The Tonight Show" in
the 1950s. At the far end of
his TV career was his '80s
turn as would-be ladies, man
Ralph Furle' on "Three's
L' Company." ..e.:-:...
But his most.famous.role._,
was well-meaning but inept
Mayberry deputy Barney Fife
on "The Andy Griffith
Shoi4," for which he won
five Emmys: :
He parlayed his five years
as Fife into a movie career
playing equally well-mean-
ing saps, such as "The
Incredible Mr. Limpet"
(which used animation to
change him from a milque-
toast man to a talking fish).
His twitchy persona often,
belied a sly wit, seen to best
advantage on game shows.
On "The Hollywood
Squares," he once was asked,
"You have a great deal of
trouble sleeping at night. Are
you a man or a woman?"
Knotts replied, "That's what's
.keeping me awake!"
Knotts, final movie turn in
"Pleasantville" (1998) was an
eerily appropriate role, as a
mysterious TV repairman
'who sends two teenagers to
- l e*their lives in ajia old. l.'
blaekranud-white sitcoti ,*n-.'
TV nostalgia and history
have similarly placed Knotts
in sitcom immortality.

'Shadow and Light' at Bethel
*
by KATHY NICOLETTI
STAFF WRITER
Photographs from as far
away as Russia and Africa are
featured in a new photogra-
phy show called "Shadow and
Light" at Bethel Gallery in
Ponte Vedra Presbyterian
Church.
The exhibit features the
work of photographer and
instructor Pam Casey as well
as the work of five of her stu-
dents. The show will be open
until March 19.
Casey began her journey as
a photographer with an inex-
pensive camera ordered for
her by her grandmother.
"I loved taking pictures
since I got my first camera
from the back of a cereal box
at the age of 8," said Casey.
"What I find most challeng-.
ing and fascinating is being
able to interpret scripture
through my -camera. It is a
way of reflecting God's cre-
ation, glory, and love to oth-
ers."
Casey's photographs from
an Evangelism Explosion (EE)"
Mission Trip to Russia are part
of the exhibit.
While attending the 10th
annual Len Ministries Dinner
in Jacksonville with her hus-
band. Terry last spring, Casey:
learned about an EE mission
trip to Russia planned for
summer 2005.
"I turned to my husband
and said, 'Wouldn't it be neat
to go and take pictures?' All of
a sudden I was on my way; to
Russia," Casey said.
After quickly preparing for
the trip and being trained in
EE techniques, Casey and the
rest of the group traveled to
Nizhny Novgorod in central
Russia.
'Casey said' that she. found
L,
the Russian people warm and
friendly.
"Because you're American,
they're interested in talking
with you," she said.
With the help of a transla-
tor, Casey was prepared to use
her EE training and speak with
people on the street or at
churches there.
"This is a fantastic method
of evangelization."
Although most people iden-
tified themselves as Russian
Orthodox in faith, they usual-
ly indicated that they did not
attend church, she said'
EE volunteers are trained to
respond by introducing the
idea of making a commitment
to Christ and becoming active
in a church community.
"Spome of the people we
spoke with were ready to
make a commitment," she
said. If people were resistant,
"we were not pushy and
stopped.",
The group also brought
*hats, scarves and quilts to
children i in orphanages and
distributed Bibles' with
Russian and English transla-
tions,
"I expected everything to be
poor and bleak," she said, "but
'it was not quite like that."
Casey was drawn to photo-
graph many of the people she
encountered in Russia. These
informal portraits along with
several of her photographs of
Russian scenes, are on display
in "Shadow and Light."
Also in the exhibit are her
students' photographs 'of
Africa, other foreign foreign
countries, local scenes, nature
and a study of night photogra-
phy.
Students with photographs
in the exhibit are Hazel
Dalton, Mathew Jones, Lynn
Sickinger, Kagen Warren and
Diane Wingate.
Bible,verses selected by the
artists expressing the inspira-
tion for their 'work are dis-S
played with several of the
photographs.
"Shadow and Light" can be
viewed 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday and 9
a.m. to noon Sunday at the
gallery inside the church,
4510 Palm Valley Road.
For additional information
call the church at 285-8225.
Casey, who has taught pho-
tography classes locally for
eight years, will teach a class
at the church this month. In
this class she will share her
enthusiasm for digital photog-
raphy and the "fun of'
Photoshop."
"Three years ago I complete-
ly changed over to digital,"
she said. "It has renewed my
passion for the limitless possi-
:bilities of photography."

Cont. from B-1
Parishioners at St. Patrick's
recommended Meehan to the
Diocese of St. Augustine in
1982.
He spent. a few years at St.
Catherine's in Orange ,Park
and an eight-year stint at a
Catholic parish in High
Springs before coming to
Atlantic Beach.
Along the way, Meehan
found out that his back-.
ground in accounting came
in handy.
Meehan has guided build-
ing projects at four of the five
churches he has served since
1966.
He led a $1.3-million build-
ing project in 1980 at St.
Patrick's in Norcross, Ga.,
and a* $1.4-million renova-
tion last year at St. John's.
A numbers man, Meehan
also led .the High Springs.
parish out of its financial
troubles.
"Basically, what the Bishop
told me was to go down there
and 'fix that problem,"
recalled Meehan.
"I can build and pay for
buildings. I did that in
London and Atlanta. .The
church, in Norcross went,
from a wooden one to a very
modern, innovative building.
When I went to London, I
walked into a place that had,
just been built. That got me
interested in the mechanics
of it.
"I knew when I came to St.
John's that it .needed major
renovations. -, Everybo'dy
could see that we needed a
major, renovation of the
inside."
A student of church archi-
tecture, Meehan wanted an
antiphonal or lateral form to
the new layout, one that
allowed the congregation to
sit close to the focal points of
the liturgy.
A new altar was cut from
7,000 pounds of Indiana
limestone. Pews now face the
altar on either ,ide. The altar,
a sunken baptistry and a pul-
pit are placed on a central
axis.
"The layout of a church
always has to have a symbol-
ic meaning as well as a prac-
tical side," said Meehan, who
hired an Ohio sculptor to
design the altar, a Chicago
sculptor to make a life-size
figure of the Virgin Ma'ry:in
linden wood and an Irish
blacksmith to make candle-"
,sticks. ,.-

Runner-turned-priest
When Meehan was growing
up in Dublin, he said, the
city was teeming with semi-
naries and running clubs.
He fondly recalls running
in only a singlet, shorts and
shoes during the winter.
Dublin's Phoenix Park, one of
the world's largest urban
parks at 1,700 acres, is where
he did most of his training
runs.
"It was a great time in
Ireland," said Meehan, who
was ordained a priest at age
28 on March 5, 1966.
"All the seminaries were
full. There used to be a semi-
nary in Dublin [All-Hallows]
that specialized in training
Irish priests for America. All
its graduating classes went
overseas. There were 1,200
Irish men ordained [in 1966].
That's an extraordinary fig-
ure for a small country.
"It's more materialistic now
.in Ireland. It used to be more
spiritual. And it's not just ,a
question of the, priesthood.
We used to export priests,
nurses, police officers and
school teachers. The Irish
-have lost their attraction for
public service."
Meehan was ordained by
the' Archbishop of Dublin
and the event was chronicled
in Dublin's Evening Herald-
under the headline, "Runner
turns priest."
Meehan, 68, was still run-
ning at the time, btit not(
competitively. He. is the only
one in his family to become a
priest and the only one living
in America.
."I wasn't thinking of
America at all when I started
out," said Meehan, who
entered the seminary in the
late 1950s.
"I thought I would end up
in Brazil. I had an interest in
going to South America
because the need was bigger
there." '
"I had, remembered Pope
Pius XII saying that he need-
ed 60,000 priests for South
America. That kind. of .stuck

since wearing braces, you'll have a new reason to smile.
