Group gives up on Guana swa
By KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
After getting a thumbs down
Tuesday from the state
Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP.i, the group
pushing for a Ponte Vedra high
school site in the Guana
reserve has given up its quest.
"I don't like the idea of
throwing in the towel," Marc
Bugbey, a member of the Ponte
Vedra High School Coalition,
said in a telephone interview
Tuesday afternoon.
"There are forces at work
here that I still don't under-
stand." .
Bugbey and fellow high
school coalition member Davis
Johnson Jr. met Tuesday in
Tallahassee with DEP officials
Bob Ballard, deputy secretary
of the Land and Recreation
Division, and Mark Glisson,
staff director of the Acquisition
and Restoration Council.
The Ponte Vedra men pre-
sented their case for a land
swap proposal, in which Herb
Peyton, founder of Gate
Petroleum, would exchange 50
of his acres at the end of Neck
Road for 50 acres of Guana
land off Mickler Road for a
high school site.
Peyton's 50 acres is part of a
104-acre parcel known as the
Outpost.
But Ballard told the men, "If

Last week, several environ-
mental groups joined those
opposing the swap proposal,
with one hinting at a lawsuit.
"Florida Wildlife Federation
will vigorously oppose and
legally challenge any effort to
transfer public lands away
from Guana Wildlife
Management Area for building
schools .," Manley Fuller,
federation director, said in a
news release.
The Sierra Club, Defenders of
Wildlife and Audubon of
Florida also noted their objec-
tions in the same news release.
Ballard told the Ponte Vedra
men that if the state approved
the land swap, "all hell would
break loose," according to a
news release from the high
school coalition.
Through a spokeswoman,
Ballard said Tuesday that the
DEP continues to object to the
land swap.
"Our position hasn't
changed, and we still wish to
keep those lands in conserva-
tion," said spokeswoman Sarah
Williams.
The St. Johns County School
District for years has been
looking for a high school site
in Northeast St. Johns County,
preferably in Ponte Vedra
Beach.
Although the School Board
two years ago removed the
Guana site from the list of pos-
sible school sites, some contin-
ued to push for it as the dead-
line neared.
Williams said that as of
March 1, the DEP had received
about 310 expressions against
the proposal and 190 in favor.
The St. Johns County School
Board is expected to vote April
18 for a Ponte Vedra high
school site.
The sites being considered
are a 30-acre parcel behind
Talbots on State Road A1A and
a 75-acre parcel east of Davis
Park off County Road 210,
about one mile west of the
Intracoastal Waterway. .

Maguire said Tuesday that
he hopes to involve the city
of St. Augustine more with
the TPC next year.
He said that a May tourna-

County
set for
storms
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
After a devastating 2005 hur-
ricane season, St. Johns County
is beefing up its emergency
plan, hoping to be as prepared
as possible for the season that
begins June 1.
The 2006 Atlantic hurricane
season is predicted to be above
normal, although falling short
of last year's 27 named storms.
In a presentation Tuesday to
the St. Johns Board of County
Commissioners, Ray Ashton,
Emergency Management direc-
tor, summarized the lessons
learned from hurricanes
Charley, Frances and Jeanne in
2004 and Dennis, Katrina and
Wilma in 2005.
Each was a Category 3 or 4
when it hit the United States,
and all but Katrina made land-
fall on Florida's Gulf coast.
Although the storms did not
make a direct hit on St. Johns
County, the county's
Department of Emergency
Management was busy in other
states and counties, helping
with their shortfalls and mis-
takes.

On a sunny but windy
Tuesday morning, fans watched
practice rounds and driving-
range tune-ups by an elite field
of international golf stars at the
Tournament Players Club at
Sawgrass Stadium Course.
Forty-nine of the top 50 play-,
ers in the world are on hand
this week for what frequently is
billed as golf's toughest event.
The only top-50 player missing
is Kenny Perry, sidelined-by an:
injury.,
Practice rounds are conduct-
ed on the Stadium Course with-
out any sort of schedule.
However, a listing of players,
near the first tee tells fans who's
on the course, what time they'
went out to practice and where
they might be.
*Tiger Woods was one of the
first on the Stadium Course
Tuesday. The 2001 Players
champion began his practice
round at 6:30 a.m.

a
Commission agrees to draft
neighborhood bill of rights
BY LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The St. Johns Board of County Commissioners
agreed Tuesday to have their legal department
draft an ordinance for a Neighborhood Bill of
Rights, though some commissioners were skep-
tical of its necessity.
The bill of rights would require developers to
notify registered neighborhood' associations of
building projects at the earliest stages'in such
projects. Those associations must also be noti-
fied of any changes to those projects.
Commissioners Jim' Biranft adicLKaren Stern
said they understood "iie main-concern of resi-
dents to be an improvement in communication
between developers and neighborhoods, which
may just require an extra clause in the Land
Development Code.
"I think people are putting a lot of false faith
in what this thing is supposed to do," Bryant
said.
"I think that we can incorporate into our LDC
[Land Development Code]. .. to notify adjacent
associations -_ that's easily done in my opinion."
Some Ponte Vedra residents have been push-
ing for a Neighborhood Bill of Rights, saying
they wish to have a say in development that
goes on around their homes.
Seaside residents began pushing for the meas-
ure after a commercial proposal, Overlook V,
reappeared recently with numerous changes to
the original plan.
After examining the Neighborhood Bill of
Rights program implemented in Jacksonville,
County Attorney Dan Bosanko told commis-
sioners Tuesday that a similar program "more
limited in scope and cost" could be created for
St. Johns County.
But Bosanko said he did not believe that such
an ordinance would grant neighborhood associ-
nations legal standing, which would enable those
associations to file claims in a court of law.
Jerry Cameron, legislative aid to
Commissioner Ben Rich, presented the newly
revised.Neighborhood Bill of Rights to the Ponte
Vedra Community Association (PVCA) Monday
night.
"We can't have exactly what Jacksonville has
because their system of government is different
from ours," said Cameron, who has been pre-
senting the idea to various community organi-
zations throughout the county.
.After meeting with the county's legal depart,,
ment, Cameron.said the county attorneys.felt
the "legal standing" clause should be changed
and instead an association would be deemed an
"affected party."
In other words, the ordinance would give a
neighborhood association more recognition at
County' Commission meetings without granting
them the right to. sue in circuit court, as
Jacksonville's ordinance does.
Cameron said he had hoped to keep that crit-
ical part of the ordinance the same, but added
that the newly revised version will illicit less
opposition from commissioners.
In Tuesday's meeting, Commissioner Bruce
Maguire, a cosponsor of the ordinance with
Rich, said he thinks a bill of rights is a good way
to improve communication between developers
and residents.
He also said it would save time in commission
meetings by "forcing developers to weed out
some of the problems before it [a project] comes
to us."
Stem agreed that it would help commissioners
and county staff during the development review
process.
"The more they [developers] can hear from
v'all before they come to us, the better," she
said.
Storms: Distribution sites planned
Cont. from A-1
"St. Johns County has a lot of good will built
up out there in the state of Florida," Ashton said
in Tuesday's meeting.
Ashton spent several weeks in Polk County
and in parts of Mississippi in the aftermath of
the storms.
Although the media covered the destruction
of Mississippi and Louisiana, Ashton said the
"devastation is unbelievable" when seen in per-
son.
"No. 1, you can't feel it unless you're there,
and No. 2, you can't smell it unless you're
there," Ashton said.
One of the biggest problems in Mississippi,
according to Ashton, was establishing distribu-
tion areas for survivors to pick up supplies such
as food, water and ice.
Parks and large business center parking lots
worked best for these areas, he said.
They worked like drive-through operations:
Lines of cars and trucks pulled up behind open
semi trucks, where volunteers or staff unloaded
supplies into survivors' vehicles.
Ashton said two of the biggest challenges are
finding people to hand out the supplies and
finding locations for the supply operations.
As a result, Ashton said, the county's
Emergency Management Department developed
a map of 19 possible distribution points in St.
Johns County.
Also, Emergency Management and the coun-
ty's Recreation and Parks Department agreed on
staffing those points.
Ashton said not all of the points will be used
at once only those that are near areas that
need the supplies the most or that aren't
obstructed by debris or flooding.
"We think we have some very good strategic
locations here," Ashton said.
The map includes three points in the Ponte
Vedra area: one at Davis Park on County Road
210, one at Cornerstone Park on State Road AIA
and one on Landrum Lane.
Commissioner Karen Stern agreed, saying, "I
think that we certainly have a good plan in
place."
But a point of concern was raised by Ken
Bryan, a candidate for Stern's District 2 County
Commission seat, who asked about different
emergency' departments' ability to communicate
after a devastating storm.
A recent evaluation of the St. Johns County
Fire Rescue Department's communication sys-
tem revealed that most of their equipment was
obsolete.
Under the current system, the Fire
Department cannot communicate at the scene
of an emergency via hand-held radios with
other departments such as the Sheriff's Office.
Commissioner Ben Rich said that he has met
with Sheriff David Shoar and that he recognizes
the need for a new communication system with
more capabilities and more power.
But that system, according to Rich and Fire
Chief Robert Hall, carries a $15 million price tag.
"We're still exploring that because of the
acquisition costs it's a huge capital outlay for
the county," Rich said.
"I'm doing what I can... to push it along."
In the meantime, Ashton said there are tem-
porary mobile communication systems, which
cross all frequencies and network providers and
which could be brought to St. Johns County' in
the event of a major storm.
Ashton said one such system, which is com-
pletely contained in a trailer, is housed in
Gainesville, no more than two hours away.
A December forecast for the 2006 hurricane
season predicted 17 named storms, of which 87
percent are predicted to reach the United States,
according to Ashton. A new forecast for this
year's season is due next month, Ashton said.
Recent changes in the land use regulations for the city of
Neptune Beach may require Wal-Mart to put a proposed
superstore Within'50 feet of Atladtic Boulevard. '

I The Leader's Opinion
Guana swap offers
a very valuable
opportunity to PV
For years, Ponte Vedrans have been debating the
potential location for a high school in our community.
The St. Johns County School Board has said it will select
a school site at its April meeting. The need for another
high school to serve this area is clear. At issue is where a
top-notch facility for Ponte Vedra should be located.
Currently, the school board is said to be deciding
between two parcels the 30-acre Talbot site, located on
A1A, and the 75-buildable acre Nocatee site, located east
of Davis Park.
A group of citizens known as the Ponte Vedra Beach
High School Coalition is attempting to show how a 50-
acre site located off Mickler's Road on the periphery of
the Guana Wildlife Refuge is the best choice for our com-
munity, our students and our environment.
The county could obtain the Mickler Road site for free
because of the land swap offered by Herb Peyton. He has
offered to give the state 50 acres adjacent to Guana off
Neck Road located on the pristine Lake Ponte Vedra. In
return, the state would give St. Johns County 50 acres of
land currently in the Reserve located on Mickler Road
near the Publix shopping center.
The Beaches Leader.Ponte V'edra Leader supports this
trade for several reasons:
We believe that the swap strengthens the state's inven-
tory of conservation land. The Peyton property is envi-
ronmentally superior to the parcel of planted pines next
to commercial development.
We believe that such a precedent is a good one. Why
wouldn't we want to pursue similar land swaps that are
win-win for the environment and the community at
large?
We believe that the location provides opportunity for
some unique science curriculum, focusing on the envi-
ronment and conservation.
\Ve believe Ponte XVdia will benefit from a high school
located within the community, not west of the
Intracoastal Waterway.
Most importantly, we believe building PV high at a
location next to Davis Park is woefully short-sighted.
Nocatee must provide the county with a free high school
site and has offered land east of Davis Park. But if the
county uses the Nocatee site for a Ponte Vedra high
school, it will not be long before Nocatee students will
need a school of their own. At that time, the county will
have to purchase additional land to build a school for
Nocatee.
If the land swap is made, the county gets land for two
high schools the Mickler Road parcel and one in
Nocatee at no cost to taxpayers.
For all these reasons, we believe the school board
should pursue building Ponte Vedra's new high school
on the NMickler Road parcel by making the -land- swap
with Mr. Peyton. The threat of a potential lawsuit from
the environmental lobby is not reason to ignore the swap
offer. Some things are worth fighting for, and we may
find a friend in the governor's office or logic may prevail,
If the Board refuses to consider the Mickler Road site as a
plausible alternative, we will lose a valuable opportunity.

Now I never heard of Vidalia Onions until a

Coleman planted some onions in the depth of
the Depression in 1931. He was shocked when
they harvested flat and sweet, not round and
hot. This guy was like P.T. Barnum promoting
the "Sweetest onion on Earth!" One-time fluke

which was big bucks in those days.
As the years passed and the onions kept
coming up flat and sweet, roadside stands
popped up around Vidalia. By the late thirties
tourist had gone from calling them "Sweet
Onions" to just "Vidalia Onions!" In the 1940s
they began popping up in South Georgia A&Ps

To the editor:
I am writing to you on
behalf of the winter monthly
campers staying at Katherine
Abbey Hanna Park. \Ve wish to
make a request to the City of
Jacksonville to establish a new
winter monthly rate.
Most of us have stayed at
Hanna Park for the past five
winters and many have been
steady customers up to 15
years. Most campers who made
reservations last March 2005
for this season (Nov. I to April
1st) were able to stay at the old
rate.
We heartily thank you for
this decision. However, the
new daily rate for the next
winter season is cause for con-
cern.. The-present rate is less
than $500 per month; the new
rate will be more than $760 per
month (based on a 30-day
month).
This price will be difficult for
most seniors and retired per-
sons on fixed incomes to
afford. After a good deal of
research, it seems the new rate
will be among the highest of
parks in this area, including
private parks that are for-prof-
it.
For example, the following is
a comparison of monthly
Winter rates for campgrounds

Governor must
stay against Guana
land use for school
To the editor:
Governor Jeb Bush is to be
praised for his previous oppo-
sition to the construction of a
high school within the Guana
River Wildlife Management
Area. He should continue his
opposition to the poorly con-
ceived idea to construct a
high school on 50 acres of the
WMA adjacent to Mickler
Road in St. John's County,
even though Herb Peyton has
offered to exchange 50 acres
of land within the WMA
which he owns in order to
appease other naysayers.
The WMA was purchased by
Florida through the "Save our
Coasts" program in order to
protect important coastal
resources such as wildlife
habitat, recreational, archaeo-
logical and historic resources
from the threat of develop-
ment. The citizens of Ponte
Vedra should respect the fore-
sight shown by our state's
legislators when this acquisi-
tion was approved, and when,
in 1998, a constitutional
amendment was adopted by
72 percent of voters which
increased protection for our
conservation lands. There are
many reasons to deny this
proposed development.The
construction of a high school
and its necessary road widen-
ing, parking lot and playing
fields construction would
adversely affect the environ-
mental quality of the WMA.
All of the lands within the
WMA are comprised of impor-
tant wildlife habitat, water
recharge and water filtration
areas. Because the WMA is an
important area for hunting
and fishing,hunting in the
WMA near the proposed high
school could endanger stu-
dents, faculty and visitors.
Also, lands within the WMA
need to be subjected to con-
trolled burns to continue the
environmental health of these
lands. This need to burn
could endanger inhabited
structures such as the pro-
posed high school.
The existence of the unde-
veloped WMA provides more
aesthetic and spiritual bene-
fits to Florida's citizens just

possibly offer. Other more
suitable lands are available in
the proximity of Ponte Vedra
for the construction of a high
school. Has the county really
considered the future of its
children, the impact on its
current generation, in giving
credence to this implausible
"free ride"?

To the editor:
This letter is in reference to
the proposed PV High school
to be built in the Guana
Wildlife area. I am sure that
everyone has heard and
reviewed all the arguments
both for and against this
choice. My letter is to simply
point out that the larger les-
son to be demonstrated here
is one that everyone seems to
be forgetting. No means no!!
Most "concerned citizens"
would have you believe this is
a lesson they are teaching
their children but their
actions speak differently. The
appropriate channels were
explored, all the correct steps
were taken to gather informa-
tion and a decision was made.
Good, bad or indifferent the
decision has been made. Was
everybody happy? No, some-
one always loses in this type
of a situation. That's life. Yet
another valuable lesson. Pick
yourself up and move one.
What message will we be
sending future generations;
Defy authority? Circumvent
the decision to further your
own agenda? No only applies
to everyone else?
As decision makers ponder
this situation I hope everyone
will remember what we are
really building. Not just a pile
of brick and glass. This will
be a place where young adults
will to learn more than the 3

esty, respect for authority,
obedience and consideration

also on the curriculum. Have
we forgotten these most
important lessons of all.

I oppose land use for school

While I understand the need
for a high school east of the
Intercoastal Waterway, I do not
want to see any of Guana
Reserve used for this purpose.
Once we start carving up our
nature preserves and develop-
ing them, we are opening the
door to many worse things.
The group supporting the
high school in Guana is very
vocal and very well funded but
there are many, many people
who do not support it in Ponte
Vedra who feel just as strongly
about the issue. There must be
some other suitable location.

NEW Fee Title land exchange
proposal 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 prior-
it)y acquisition," needed to
deter development along the
shores of Lake Ponte Vedra
(Guana River). His proposal
would allow the state to pro-
tect and conserve 50 acres of
high-value, natural resource
land it seeks, in exchange for
50 acres of pine plantation
land, owned by the state,
located behind the new
Publix Shopping Center on
NMickler Road.
This NEW proposal needs
to be heard because Mr.
Peyton's "no-strings" offer
promotes the following ben-
efits:

My baby
is grown
up and
awesome
on stage.
T here she is, standing in
the front of the stage,
like a, like a, like a...
Can-can dancer? A stripper?
A hoochie-coochie girl?
It's my daughter, and she is
in a play. It's called "The
Seussical," a very cool play
based on those lively and
wonderful Dr. Seuss books,
and I know she has a racy cos-
tume and Js in almost every
scene of the play.
Yet, when she steps out the
first time and I see her dressed
in something that off-stage,
could only be defined as sexy,
I gasp.
I don't gasp, as you might
think, because she's wearing
so few articles of clothing? but
because she's so beautiful and
so unshy and so everything
you'd always hope a daughter
might be ..., even if. sh. is
walking- and singing .'and
dancing on stage just about
half naked.
Don't get me wrong here.
The costume is tasteful and
nothing is hanging out or
swaying inappropriately. She's
hilarious and lovely in the
production and sings and
dances like a pro. I think she's
the best actress in the entire
play. but then again. I am her
mommy.
But what a shock it was to
see her this way a wonderful
shock, but a shock nonethe-
less.
This is the daughter who
clung to my skirts and old
sweatpants and who watched
her brother perform on stage
"and said, "I could never do
that."
S"This is the daughter who
cried at dental appointments
and when she had to simply
drive past the doctor's office
where she got all of her boost-
eo shots.
This is the daughter who
cried herself to sleep when she
was 13 because she had no
friends and was worried that
everyone in the world would
always hate her.
This is the daughter who
was destined to be a book-
worm, never date, and live at
home until her mother passed
away when she was .123 years
old.
IMy daughter has not only
found her place, she's set up a
tent, organized a riot and is
ready for just about anything
life can bring her. What it
brought her this week is that
teeny, tiny outfit that makes
her look like the bird girl of
the year.
I have to say, I am not the
only one who thinks she is
S beautiful.
About 50 people who know
me turned, to look into my
eyes when my daughter
walked out onto the stage the
first time and mouthed,
"'Wow," anq "She's beautiful,"
when they saw her prance out
onto the stage.
It helps that she has legs
that are about as long as legs
can get and that she decided
to ignore any inhibitions that
may have tried to conquer her
S new-found sprit and that she's
just a bit sassy like her mama.
I'm taking her grandma and
grandpa to the play tomorrow
and I've already braced them
: with one, gentle e-mail and
another phone call. ,,
And what I said was, "The
baby has grown up."

In 1975, Lien and Anh Bui arrived in the
United States from Vietnam
to begin a new life. The cou-
ple came with their two chil-
dren and their third child was
born here within a few
months. Lien Bui recalled that
in 1975 she spoke no English
and only knew how to be a
housewife. However, she said
that she thought of America as the land of
opportunity.
The Bui's American sponsors, Anne Storch
and her late husband Fernando Storch, volun-
teered through Lutheran Social Services to help
them with the transition to living in the U.S.
The two families forged a close friendship which
has endured to the present day.
Recently, the two women spent the day
together at Bui's home in Ponte Vedra. Bui is an
accomplished cook who likes to cook for others.
In addition to lunch, the two women prepared
Bui's Spring Rolls to be served for an upcoming
special occasion in Storch's family.
Cooking has played an important role in the
Bui family's success in the United States. Lien
Bui's first jobs here were as a waitress at local
Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Bui's mother
had owned a restaurant in Vietnam, so the
restaurant business was somewhat familiar and
working there was a good place to start, she said.
While she worked as a waitress, Bul learned
more about running a restaurant and also devel-
oped her own style of food preparation for use
in a commercial setting.
Bui sometimes worked at more than one job
' at a time; and before long an employer at anoth-
er of her jobs, William Barnett of Barnett Frame
Shop, encouraged her to open a restaurant when
the opportunity arose.
Within less than ten years of arriving in the
U.S., the Bui family opened the first of three
restaurants they would own in the Jacksonville
and Beaches area. The first two were at Five
Points and on the Westside in Jacksonville. The
"We want to make sure that
kids don't have something to
drink and then come to the
dance," Thomson said.
But Thomson said she's giv-
ing the teens a proper warning
and informing them of the con-
sequences of being under the
influence of alcohol or drugs at
the dance.

Khaled Hosseini (left), author of the best-selling novel The Kite Runner, chats backstage
Sunday at the University of North Florida's Lazzara Theater with (clockwise from left) Carolee
Bertisch, Philip Rosenthal, Richard Richter and Barbara Pearson. Hosseini spoke to a theater
full of readers about the similarities between his life and the book, which tells the story of a
young boy growing up in pre-Soviet Afghanistan. Hosseini said much of the detail in the book
was based on his memories of living in Kabul, Afghanistan, before his family moved to the
United States when he was 15. Hosseini's appearance was the culmination of several weeks of
events centered on The Kite Runner at libraries throughout St. Johns County.
last was called Kim Lien, open from 1986 to
1994 in Ponte Vedra.
After the couple's children all went away to
college, Bui said that she was
ready to end the family's restau-
4 4I rant business. The children, whom
she calls the investment that has
given her the best return, all grad-
uated from college with two going
COOKS on to become physicians and one
being awarded an MBA degree.
Encouraged by her children to
learn something new after closing the restau-
rant, Bui became an aesthetician and now works
with a dermatologist in Ponte Vedra. She has
found this to be a rewarding field where she has
the pleasure of seeing how happy people are
when they like how they look.
With only Bui and her husband at home, the
couple have tried to simplify their life. Bui is
interested in cooking lower fat, healthier foods
for them both. By preparing foods well and
using fresh ingredients and fresh herbs, she
makes healthy dishes that her husband likes.
Back in her days as a waitress, Bui learned a
healthier way of making vegetables for stir fry-
ing. Fresh watercress, bean sprouts, and bite-size
pieces of carrots, cauliflower, beets, and parsnips
retain their crispness and color after parboiling
in broth. The broth also gives the vegetables
additional flavor.
Bui uses the parboiled vegetables for snacking
right from the refrigerator or for cooking in stir
fries or other dishes. The broth also makes a
healthy beverage, she said, or is good base for
other dishes.
To make a light and healthy salad, Bui mixes
parboiled watercress and bean sprouts with a lit-
tle dark sesame oil. Watercress has a tendency to
be bitter, but any bitterness is eliminated by
cooking it quickly in broth. Toasted sesame
seeds finish the salad or Bui sometimes adds
onions for flavor or sweet red pepper for color to
the dish.

Cooking:
Cont. from A-8
Fresh sushi grade tuna is also
delicious cooked in a combina-
tion of chicken and fish broth,
she said. The broth can be
made with packaged chicken
bouillon and fish broth season-
ing or use freshly made broth.
Bui cuts and cooks the tuna
two ways for two entirely dif-
ferent tastes.
For the delicious flavor and
texture of tuna that is rare on
the inside, Bui cooks steak size
pieces of tuna in the broth for
just a minute or two. The tuna
steaks are then cut into thin
slices and garnished with fresh
cilantro.
Smaller and thinner cuts of
the raw tuna are also cooked in
the broth for a minute or two.'
These pieces of tuna are cooked
thoroughly and taste different
from the rare tuna. Fresh herbs
are again used with this tuna,
dill is a good choice.
The broth remaining after
the tuna is cooked forms the
base of lMiso Soup, made with
iron-rich dried seaweed. Bui
adds the seaweed, cilantro,
pieces of tofu, and slices of
spring onions to make a deli-
cious, light NMiso Soup.
The following are some of
Lien Bui's healthy recipes.
Vegetables
sliced carrots ,
bean sprouts
cauliflower, broken into
florets
sliced beets
watercress
parsnips, cut into chunks
Fill a large pot with water,
add salt and chicken bouillon
cubes. Bring to boil, then turn
down the heat.
Parboil each vegetable sepa-
rately in the broth. Cook each
for only a moment; plunge the
vegetable in the hot broth and
take out immediately. Drain
and rinse with cold water.
Make sure the broth is steam-
.ing hot before adding the next
vegetable.
Vegetables are ready to use in
other dishes, or store in ziplock
bags in the refrigerator to use
for a snack.
Vegetable Salad
watercress
beansprouts
sesame seeds, toasted
dark sesame oil
ground garlic
optional additions:
onions
chopped red pepper
Use watercress and bean
sprouts that have been par-
boiled as above. Put both veg-
etables into a large bowl. Use
kitchen scissors to cut the
watercress into smaller pieces.
Add a small amount of
ground garlic (to taste) and
enough sesame oil to moisten
the salad. Mix well.
Toast the sesame seeds in a
non-stick skillet on the stove,'
1

stir and watch until seeds are
golden brown. When cooled
add to salad with any optional
ingredients desired.
Serve the salad warm or cold.
Tuna
sushi grade tuna
chicken bouillon
fish stock flavoring
slices of onion
fresh dill
fresh cilantro
dark sesame oil
Have about two cups of
water in a saucepan, and mix
in a cube or a spoonful each of
chicken bouillon and fish stock
flavoring. Add a few slices of
.onion and bring broth to a
boil, then turn down the heat.
Cut the tuna into small size-
steaks or.fairly thick slices.
Cook the small tuna steaks
in the broth for about a
minute; then turn over and
cook for another minute.
Remove to cutting board. Cut
into thin slices, tuna should
still be veiy pink inside.
Arrange tuna slices on serving
platter and garnish with fresh
cilantro. Serve with wasabi,
ginger or other condiments on
the side.
To cook the tuna cut into
slices: add the tuna to the
broth and cook for a minute or
two. Remove to a serving plat-
ter, garnish with fresh dill,
sprinkle with a little dark
sesame oil. Reserve the broth
to make Miso Soup.

She suggested going to the family doctor, fami-
ly therapists or even church.
But the first step to sobriety starts at home with
parents simply talking and listening to their off-
spring, she said."You need to talk to your kids -
and I mean really talk to them," she said.
"I always make sure I tell them I love them;
They need to know that."
And when they are ready to do the talking, her
advice was simple: just listen.
"They don't want you to solve anything," she
said.
Above all, she said, "your best ally is informa-
tion."
Knowing who their child's friends are, who
their friends' parents are and where they are going
is the most important responsibility of parents,
she said.

Hayes meet a learning experience for Nease
Buchholz takes third in pole
vault, Bray 9th in 3,200 run
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
Saturday was a learning expe-
rience for the Nease boys and.
girls track and field teams. Each
squad earned six points at the
Bob Haves Invitational at Raines
High.
The girls' total was worth a tie
for 30th, the boys' a tie for 37th
in the annual event in which
some 5,000 student-athletes
take part.
Two Nease competitors placed
in the top six. Junior Michael
Buchholz finished third in the
boys pole vault, freshman
Stephanie Bray fifth in the girls
3,200.
Buchholz, who extended his
Nease record March 16 at the
Episcopal Inmitational, where he
vaulted 14'3",
had a best of
13'6" at the
Bob Hayes
while using
new poles. The
winning vault
was 15'3".
Buchholz'
Episcopal vault
broke his
Nease record
of 14'1", set at
St. Augustine
March 7.
Bray's time
was 11:45.83 in
an event won
in 11:17.08.

Ridgeview Invitational on
Thursday, followed by the Eagle
Classic March 28 at Episcopal
and the Bear Relays at Bartram
Trail March 31.
The track and field season
begins in earnest when the drive
to state starts, which is why
something like the Bob Hayes
Initiational and its field of past
state champions and higher
classification schools provides a
needed test.
"I'm throwing against the
best in the state and the best of
the regional area," said Laura
Phillips, a junior who threw the
discus 106 feet in a girls event.
Phillips and Kelsey Swendsen,
a junior transfer from Puyallup,
Wash., have regularly finished
1-2 locally in discus and shot
Sput.
Phillips was disappointed
Saturday, but realizes one of the
best ways to improve is by com-
peting against a higher level
"and learning from them," she
said.
The meets that matter at this
juncture are conference, district,
regional and state, she said.
"This is how it's supposed to
feel," Phillips said of the Bob
Hayes, "because this is how it's
going to be at the state meet."
The St. Johns River Athletic
Conference meet will be held
April 6 at Orange Park, to be fol-
lowed April 20 by the District 3-
3A championship at Orange
Park and the Region 1 title meet
April 27 at Wolfson. The Class
3A state championship will be
staged May 5 at Coral Springs
High.
Despite limited success
against the higher level of com-
petition at the Haves event,
Panthers throwing coach Mike
Brown remains positive.
"I'm real excited about my
throwers," Brown said. "For the
fust year in five years I've got
two great girl throwers. In the
past I was lucky to get one to
stumble out. Plus I've got four
excellent guys."
Brown is pleased by the
progress of James Wilson, a new-
comer to shot
and discus, as

"There's so

.easily. They
think they're
going to keep getting better and
better. There are days you've got
to step back, take a look at it and
start all over, go back to the
basics.
"The shot's easier because
there's less involved," he said.
Wilson, a 6'6", 305-pound
offensive lineman, is already
being sought by colleges. At the
season-opening Barry Craig
Open March 3. Wilson threw
the shot 49'10". His goal of 50
has eluded him since.
"I didn't know what I was
doing," Wilson said'of his throw
at Bartram Trail. "Now I'm
thinking about it too much."
Wilson put the shot 48'9" at
the Bob Hayes Invitational.
On the girls side, Kelsey
Swendsen said, "Laura's real good
at discus, I'm better at shot. I
don't think we've done our best
so far."
Prior to the Bob Hayes,
Swendsen's best shot this season
was 37 feet, her best discus 102.
At the end of last season, she put
the shot 41-7, and her goal is
"hopefully, by the end of this
season, 45."
Philllips' bests this season have
been 34'6" in the shot and 109 min
the discus, where her goal is 125.
"You're supposed to add 10-
15 feet every season," she said.

Nease boys and girls tennis
teams finding court success
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS Wt'RITER
%\ad Maviopoulos, the Nease
boys No. 1 and a nationally
ranked junior tennis player,
expects to win each time he
takes the court.
Conversely, freshman Kayla
Green, recently elevated to the
Panthers girls varsity squad,
appreciates the opportunity
she's been given to play for her
new school.
Green, a transfer student from
Palmer Catholic Academy,
seemingly has the genes for ten-
nis but only recently began
playing competitively. Her
mother and father played colle-
giately, mom Suzanne at
Auburn and father Raymond at
Rollins, then each enjoyed brief
professional careers.
Green teamed with second
doubles partner and senior cap-
tain Alexis Perryn to win 8-4 last
Thursday against St. Joseph's
Academy of St. Augustine. That
was Green's second win in her
second week of teaming with
Perry.
"I've been playing for a really
long time", said Green, who first
had a tennis racquet in her
hands when she was two, "but I
haven't been competing in
matches for that long.. I'm pick-
ing it up more and more.
The Nease boys and girls
teams both won, 6-1, in the
non-district, non-conference
home match against St.
Joseph's. The victory lifted the
boys' record to 8-0. The girls are
6-3.
"We lead in both conference
and district play," said Nease
-boys coach Rob Strider. We're
looking forward to our probably
toughest match with Gain-
esville, which is our rival in the
Nease No. 1

his 8-2 win

Academy.

district."
Nease plays host to
Gainesville March 30.
Strider said he tried to sched-
ule another match with Bolles
(the first was suspended), but
has been unsuccessful.
Bolles is no longer in Nease's
district. And not only are the
two schools in different dis-
tricts, they're also in different
classifications. Nease is 3A,
Bolles 2A, which means
Mavropoulos won't see Bolles
No. 1 Matt Schimmel in a
rematch of last year's state sin-
gles individual title.
"They're a very good team,"
said Strider, "and we really
wanted to have them as a chal-
lenge. But, hey, we move on. We
have a good season so far.
Everyone's staying pretty
healthy, and we give everybody
a run for their money."
Faulds continues to coach a
very young girls team.
'They just continue to get.
stronger and stronger every
week," said Faulds. "And our
losses, we had some of our JV
players play in those matches,
just to get an opportunity for
more girls to play."
With Crosby 'sidelined, the
Nease girls squad was led by
Caitlyn Cassidy, Casey Heiar,
Lauren Smith and Dana
Monroe.

.:, ; Serving Jacksonville and the Beaches since 1954
The professionals at Southwest Funding in
Jacksonville Beach know how challenging
home-buying can be. That's why their goal is
to help find the best mortgage possible for you
and your individual financial situation.
"Purchasing a home doesn't have to be. as
stressful as some mortgage lenders make, it,"
says Michael Marigani, branch manager of
Southwest TFunding. "Our goal is, to open
doors for you not only to the right home
but also to the right loan."
A graduate of Fletcher High School, Michael
grew up, in Jacksonville Beach. He's been self
-employed since right out. of high school,
when he took over his family's business,
SMichael's Cycle Service, which he ran success-
fully for eight years until selling the company
in 2004. He also started investing in real estate
and acquiring properties.
In 2003 Michaelbecame a licensed mort-
gage broker and started mortgage processing.
which made way for Southwest Funding,
which opened in Jacksonville Beach in
November 2004.
"1 discovered that my business skills Michael Man
especially my experience in getting loans as a you.
self-employed person made for an excellent fit ini finding
just the right loans for other people, too," he said. "What I
it liked best about running a business helping people, hands-
on management, providing top-notch customer service -
r- applies perfectly to securing mortgage and commercial loans,
especially in a lot of hard-to-do situations."
MNost people move every three to five years, says Michael. He
says the way to accumulate wealth is to either reduce your cur-
rent mortgage liability quickly or create a savings account.
"Often people think of the borrowing side of mortgages and
not the savings side," says Michael. "With the real estate
investment opportunities we have right here at the Beaches
syou can essentially live in your savings account," he says. "For
example, for a $300,000 house, that's $30,000 in income at 10
percent appreciation a year. Essentially you're creating an
additional income stream while you sleep."
People should alsd consider the tax-savings side of mort-
gages, he says. "Real estate investments can mean significant
tax savings something everyone's thinking about this time
of year," says Michael. "The decisions you make noW-about
your current or new mortgage may help you out tax-wise a
year from now."
He suggests asking yourself these questions while you do
this year's taxes: Did your personal address change from last
year? Did you purchase rental property or sell, exchange or
purchase any real estate during the year? Did you take out a
home equity loan? Did you refinance a principal residence or
second home? Did you sell an existing business, rental or
other property? Did you receive any income from property
sold prior to this year?
"If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, check with
your tax professional because these issues may affect your
taxes owed and potential refund," says Michael.
The professionals at Southwest Funding take asset awareness
a step even further than savings and potential tax benefits. ".As
.. rates fluctuate, consumers need to be aware of their current
financial status," advises Michael. "That means we need to
consider all of oar interest rates and not just our mortgage
interest rates. Only four percent of the U.S. population has a
savings account over $100,000. That's why shopping for -
and finding the right mortgage comes into play."
Southwest Funding takes the time to find the right loan -
and monthly payment just for you. They understand not:
only the Beaches market but also the manyhoptions available
for all types of loans. "With our many' FHA, .VA, first-time
home buyer, low-interest and challenged credit options, find-
ing the right mortgage.may beeasier than finding the right
house!" says Michael. .

Pier fishermen find plenty of whiting
Pier fishermen had a great
week on the whiting last
week and if you haven't
gotten' in on the sheepshead
action lately it just might be
time to get a can of fiddlers
and try it. There were hun-.
dreds of sheepshead caught
along the jetties last week.
Flounder fishing just keeps get-
ting better and better in 60 feet
of water.
On the Jacksonville Beach
Pier, Mark Craig was the first to
report a flounder catch. His six
pounder caught on dead
shrimp was the first and largest
so far. The big news, however,
was the steady catches of whit-
ing that were caught and
cleaned last week.
Walter Harris said, "It was
my best two days of whiting
fishing this year. I cleaned 75."
Steve Gale had 60 in two
days of bringing whiting over
the rail. Loi Tran caught 10.0
whiting over four days of fish-
ing on the Pier. Sandy Jenkins
had 60 whiting iced down in
his cooler.
Pompano fishermen will be
glad to know that Cary
Thomas caught the season's
first pompano, a 3.5-pounder.
last Sunday and Thomas Verdie
caught a 3.5-pound yellow-
mouth rout.
Capt. David King and Mike
WIMPY SUTTON
FISHING LEADER
have found a good spot along
the jetties to catch sheepshead.
They filled their cooler with
the toothy ones last. Thursday,
and Friday from the "Crusty
Crab."
The rocks have also been
good to James Gergley and
Matt Hamilton. On Monday
and Tuesday last week they
teamed up for a sack full of
sheepshead weighing up. to
seven pounds. Most were
caught on jigs and fiddlers on
light line. James is the helpful
young man who manages B
and M Bait and Tackle and is
always happy to show. you how
the regulars are rigging for
sheepshead.
Capt. David Sipler, with the
Jurek party, fished last
Thursday in the river and
caught 40 speckled trout
weighing up to four pounds
and one large yellowmouth.
Jetty guide Fred Morrow had
Robert Miller and his dad, the
Rev. Gerry Miller, with him at
the jetties last Tuesday. They
caught nine sheepshead to
four pounds.
On Thursday in the canal,.
Fred and Dr. Robert H. Still
caught seven redbass to 28.5-
inches and four trout. On
Friday it was back to the jetties
looking for drum. They not
only caught four drum,, a,50-
pounder and a 30-pounder, but
also netted seven sheepshead
.to 7.5 pounds,. 42 whiting and
'24 yellowmouth trout. W\ow.
Eleven-year-old Will
Billingslev gave us our very
first fishing report from The
Woods. Fishing in a lake not
too far from his house he
caught a nine-pound, 23-inch
black bass using a mud min-
now for bait.
Canal guide John Dyrssen,.
with the Arrier family, fished
for a half day last Wednesday
using shrimp and mullet to
catch five speckled trout and a
flounder. With three mullet
left, John .put .them in the
canal near his house and
caught a nice flounder and a
redbass. John reports lots of
pogies and mullet in the creeks
"I ?
and canals now.
Capt Kirk Waltz, with Dr.
Fred Porcase, his son Frances
and friend Jim Hewitt, fished.
the canal last Sunday and
caught 12 redbass, 12 trout and
two flounder. Earlier in the
week Dr. Walt Karowsko and
his dad, Sam, fished on the
"Enterprise" with Capt. Waltz
and they caught 18 redbass to
31 inches and a dozen
sheepshead. Some were caught
at the jetties while others came
from the canaL
Corey Bownes, Buddy Scott
and Travis Lane aboard the
"Punisher" about 15 miles off-
shore pulled up five snapper to
16.5-pounds, a 17.5-pound
grouper 'and a five-pound
flounder.
Larry Finch and his wife,
Murphy, headed south again
last Tuesday stopping at
Daytona when, they found
hungry pompano and whiting
at about the same place in the
surf as last week. They filled
the same big coolers with whit-,
ing and pompano for the sec-
ond straight trip.
Capt. George Strate and the
"May port Princess" anglers last
week were. successful on snap-
per. grouper and large beelin-
ers. Jonathan Moran brought
two large snapper to the clean-
ing table last week; a 24-
pounder and a 19-pounder.
Fhe largest fish caught on the
Princess was a 56-pound cobia.
Capt. Dennis Young, on the
"Sea Dancer" with fishing
friends Butch Garvin, Lowell
Breeding and Tim Carney,
drifted the bottom 21 miles
offshore last Thursday and
pulled 31 flounder off the bot-
tom. All of the flounder
weighed three to five pounds
and all were caught with live
cigar minnows.
The Keith Foster family
fished with Capt. Dennis on
another day at E.F. and used
live sardines and cigar min-
nows to catch 21 flounder, a
pair of 12-pound grouper and
two snapper. They were not
able to keep nine other fish out
of the E.F. bottom.
Good fishing.

This year's Gators have chance
to be best in Florida's history
-- -. -,
L ast Saturday's cheers at
Veterans Memorial Arena
may have died away, but
*here's a belated salute to the
Florida Gators, this area's
favorite basketball team.
Apologies to the diehard fans
of Florida State, Georgia,
Georgia Tech, Miami and
Jacksonville University, but
they didn't make the "Sweet
Sixteen," the Gators did.
And how they came through.
Billy Donovan's team played
when the chips were down like
they played early in the season,
taking on every foe with all the
confidence of a crap shooter
who uses his own dice.
It's been a long time coming,
but the Gators 'never lost their
cool, even if their leader, Billy
the Kid, did. On the sideline he
brought back memories of
Steve Spurrier in football. If
Donovan had been wearing a
cap to cover his receding (make
that retreating) hair1iine, no
doubt he'd have given it the old
:. f :'- -:_,'

Steverino sail.
. But let us not criticize the
Florida coach, who has done a
remarkable job since taking
over this team. All basketball
coaches go bananas at every
game. It's in, their .blood.
When the calls don't go their
way, the moon comes up, their
fangs, come out, a hump
appears on their backs and foes
and players had better look out.
,If the Gators can keep it
going, this team will probably.
go down as Florida's greatest.
They're close to that now.
Donovan deserves all the praise
he gets and so does athletic
director Jeremy Foley, for build-
ing a great program. .
Florida State says, "Wait'll
next year."
Georgia and Georgia Tech
can brag about football.
The Players
Championship
Quick 'now who's the win-
ner for this year's Players
Championship? Why not take
a guess in your favorite office
pool. Go ahead jump in. If
recent years at the TPC have
been any indication; fans prob-
ably have as good a chance to
pick the winner now as they do
on Sunday morning.
Can Freddie Funk, do what
no golfer has done in this tour-
nament repeat' the year after
winning? In fact, ,to find a
defending champion getting
first prize in Jacksonville/Ponte
Vedra you would have to go
back to the old years,
There has never been a suc-
cessive champ in either the.
TPC/Players, nor was there ever
one in the Greater Jacksonville
Open, the predecessor to the
present tournament.
There have been some who
won more than once, but never
in successive years.
In the old, old days of the
Jacksonville Open, Sam Snead
and Cary Middlecoft did it, but
none since .
Jack Nicklaus won three
TPCs, but only one here. Fred
Couples has won 'a couple.
Ditto Steve Elkington, but no
one has repeated. This has also
been a tourney where new
names have won. Whoever,
heard of Craig Perks or Adam
Scott but their mamas until
they won here?
Go ahead. Pick a winner.
Your guess is as good' anyone's.
This could even be the year that
Davis Love Ill wins' his III.
David Duval? Why not?

The race was created by ultra-
marathoner, Dave Hatten, in
2002. It continued for two
more.years but had to be post-
poned in 2005 due to the con-
struction of the new nature
museum, amenities and. park-
ing lot at Guana Park's south-

Hatten was also the founder
of the other ultra run in this

This year's episode marks the
beginning of the race at the
"new" Guana. Fortunately, the
old trails were left unscathed by
the construction and civilizing
of the wilderness. That is very
good news to all the runners,
hikers, bikers and nature lovers
who enjoy Guania every day.
Food and drink will be pro-
vided along the route. Tee shirts
to all entrants and awards will

last time the two played,
Mavropoulos won 8-0.
"He's a pretty decent player,
can hit the ball pretty well. Big
serve," Mavropoulos said. "The
courts messed him up a little.
There's no wind at their place.
They've got normal courts.
They're not used to Mount
Everest."
Mlavropoulos is satisfied with
his individual season.
"It's going OK. I haven't got a
loss yet," he said.
Slavropoulos thinks the Nease
' team w.ll do well.
"We're undefeated so far. I
think we can make it to state," he
said, noting the Gainesville

future. "They're the ones. That'll
be the match."
