Bottling plant fears


to get public airing


by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
Representatives of a com-
pany given the go-ahead to
build a water-bottling plant
in north St. Johns County
have agreed to hold several
public meetings after resi-
dents and county commis-
sioners questioned the
plant's potential impact.
St. Johns County commis-
sioners and residents alike
expressed concerns Tuesday
about the number of high-
paying jobs the plant would
bring and about the 1 mil-
lion gallons of water the
plant would draw from
underground supplies each
day.
"What we know mostly
about water as commission-
ers is it's wet,"
Commissioner Ben Rich said
jokingly during Tuesday's
County Commission meet-
ing..
Rich said commissioners


must base their decisions on
the opinions of "experts,"
who have given mixed sig-
nals about the impact of the
plant's potential consump-
tion of water.
Some experts within the
county have told commis-
sioners the county has plen-
ty of water.
But officials of the St.
Johns River Water
Management District have
encouraged the county to
seek alternative water sup-
plies, such as brackish water.
After commissioners heard
that recommendation, they
made plans for an osmosis
water treatment plant,
which was-scheduled to
break ground last month.
When fresh water supplies
near the ground's surface
run low, water must be
obtained .from brackish sup-
plies deeper underground,
which cost more to treat for
drinking.


Ken Bryan, a St. Augustine
resident who is running for
the District 2 seat on the
board, said Tuesday that the
question is not how much
water there is, but how
much the county is willing
to pay for it.
Also eliciting comment
Tuesday were the approxi-
mately 250 jobs expected to
be generated by the plant's
operation.
Rich said he worries that
most of the workers will be
making less than the
$35,000 yearly average esti-
mated by the bottling com-
pany, Le-Nature's Inc.
But John Podlucky, a rep-
resentative of Le-Nature's,
said the equipment will be
"state of the. art," so many
of the jobs will require tech-
nical skill and few will be
for manual workers.

Eminent domain gets county OK

school bus under the middle school's new pavilion after school Thursday. With her are the balloons
and flowers she received during the day.


New Landrum pavilion


offers 'cool' outside spot


by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF Wt'RITER
A new shade structure off the
cafeteria behind Landrum
Middle School may be a novel-
ty now, but once things heat
up, it may offer a welcome
relief.
"It looks pretty cool," sLxth
grader Brandon Payne said
Thursday under the tent-like
structure that is about 12 feet
high and covers an area 30 feet
by 70 feet.
"Pretty cool," assistant prin-
cipal Allyson Breger echoed the
same day, the fourth day the
tent was up. "Feels like our
own little metropolitan park.
"If it's sunny, then people
might come out here more
often because the pavilion's
here," said Katelyn Brennan as
she waited for the school bus
near the tent.
The $25,000 structure, a root
of blue polyethylene supported
by a galvanized steel frame,
was put up March 25 to 26 by
Shade America of Jacksonville,
a "distributor of permanent
shade structures," according to
its Web site twww.shadeameri-
ca.com).
The bulk of the funding was
provided by the Landfum
Parent Teacher Organization
from fund-raisers such as the


recent Battle of the Big Cats
and last fall's "Rock the Night
Away."
The Landrum teachers also

helped out, donating a portion
of the money awarded by the
state for the school's A rating
from last year's FCATs.
"It's been something that the
PTO has been wanting to pro-
vide for the school," said
Breger.
"[The tent will] offer some
shade during the hot months,
as well as some coverage if
there's just a light rain so that
the kids can still eat outside,"
she said.
Although the spring has
been sunny and mostly in the
70s, warmer days are ahead, if
last year's temperatures are any
indication.
The average high for the
Jacksonville area in April 2005
was 75.9 degrees, which
warmed to an average of 82.4
the following month.
With students headed back
to school Aug. 4, the pavilion
may be even more in demand:
last year, August's average high
was 91.6.
"This really started with
brainstorming over the sum-
mer between me and the
school's administration, said
Tammy Lemaster, president of
the Landrum PTO. "We just


settled iri on a pavilion."
She said the teachers con-
tributed $8,500 from the
school's A-rate money, with
the remaining coming from
the PTO. '.
Lemaster said similar struc-
tures are already in use at Davis
Park west of Ponte Vedra and at
Switzerland Point Middle
School in Northwest St. Johns
County.
The tent could provide shel-
ter for those waiting for the bus
- buses load behind the
school -as well as for students
eating lunch and taking part in
after-school activities,
Lemaster said.
"Plus the PTO has nighttime
activities that can be held out-
side," she said.
The structure had to be OK'd
by the School District, Breger
said.
"Having that extra space at
lunchtime for the kids is very
important," said teacher
Connie Van Winkle, member
of the School Advisory Council
that supported the project. Van
Winkle said students earn the
privilege of eating outside by
getting "punches" for good
behavior and good grades.

The St. Johns Board of
County Commjss,ioners
Tuesday authorized the coun-
ty attorney to begin an emi-
nent domain acquisition 'of
Intercoastal Utilities, which
serves parts of Ponte Vedra.
Intercoastal owners, who
want to sell the water and
sewer, company, requested the
"slow take" condemnation
procedure as a possible means
of getting a' fair price, accord-
ing to Commissioner Bruce
Maguire of Ponte Vedra.
But Ponte Vedra resident
Marcy Silkebaken expressed
her disappointment that none
of the commissioners visited
any community organizations
to inform residents of 'the
potential acquisition.
"None of you could take
time to come to Ponte Vedra


and discuss this issue,"
Silkebaken said.
"I am deeply disappointed
with how this process has
started.." ..-.--.-'i- ..': .....-
Just weeks ago, the county
closed on its $27 million pur-
chase of St. Johns. Service
Company, another' Ponte
Vedra utility.
Several commissioners said
they informed residents about
the county's intent to control
all utility companies in Ponte
Vedra during last year's public
hearings on the St. Johns
Service purchase.
Maguire said the reason he
hasn't spoken to any organi-
zations in Ponte Vedra is that
there is "nothing to present"
about the acquisition yet.
He said the board has no
idea of a purchase price or a
timeline vet.
Through this acquisition


process, the county will
obtain an appraisal on the
company and will base its
offer on that value, be said.
County'UtilftyDirector Bii[ .,:"
Young told commissioners
Tuesday that the slow take
procedure allows for a 12-
member jury to decide the
price of the company if the
two parties cannot reach an
agreement.
Unlike a "fast take" acquisi-
tion, the county is not
required to put a down pay-
ment on the company and
can walk away from the deal
even after it goes before a jury.
If the acquisition does go to
court, Young said, the acquisi-
tion, from start to finish,
could take about a year.
Dan MacDonald of Ponte
Vedra said he thinks eminent
domain will not give the
county control over price.

Organizers of a wine-tasting benefit event are Ponte Vedra Woman's Club members Pam
Tarleton (from left), Vickie McNamara and Margaret Lane. The event, scheduled 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Tuesday, April 25, will be held at the office of Arthur Rutenberg Homes, 108 Ponte Vedra East
Blvd., Ponte Vedra. Tickets at $35 each are available at the Book Mark in Atlantic Beach, Cottage
by the Sea in Jacksonville Beach and by calling McNamara at 373-0583.


Cont. from A-1
Podlucky said at least 60 per-
cent of the non-managerial
workers in the plant will be at
or above $35,000 a year.
Jim Wheeler, vice chair of
the county's economic devel-
opment council, told commis-
sioners that concerns about
water supply have shifted focus
from what he said is the
biggest concern: to bring high-
paying jobs to St. Johns
Count) .
Wheeler said he fears his
children will not be able to
return home to start their lives
and careers after college.
"Today there's not a lot of
opportunity," Wheeler said.
"All of our kids end up going,
somewhere else."
Commissioner Karen Stem
agreed that quality jobs are
needed.


She said officials of the St.
Johns River Water
Management District told her
they prefer a "clean industry"
plant such as water bottling
because it wastes little water
and doesn't pollute the envi-
ronment.
"Unfortunately the: nega-
tives" have diverted attention
from the positive aspects of the
business, Stern said Tuesday.
"I, too, met with the princi-
pals of the business, and they
really are very sincere and gen-
uine with what they are doing
and what they want to do," she
said.
For that reason, Stemrn sug-
gested that representatives of
Le-Nature's hold at least four
public meetings to inform the
public of the positives the
company will bring, such as
jobs and taxes.
Podlucky agreed to schedule


the meetings, which he said
would be a great opportunity
to start recruiting candidates
for the jobs at the plant.
In February, the County
Commission approved more
than $3.5 million in tax incen-
tives to encourage the compa-
ny to build the plant in St.
Johns County.
Before the plant can be built,
however, the county's con-
sumptive use permit (CUP) for
water will need to be modified.
The existing CUP does not
allow for uses such as bottling,
and the process of making such
modifications could take up to
a year.
Rich said Tuesday that he
does not believe,the company
should be provided incentives
to bring its business here, and
said he equates such incentives
to a bribe,

A 34-year-old. Jacksonville
man who, won big aboard a
Mayport-based gambling boat
-was later robbed of his win-
nings at gunpoint Thursday
by two masked, men who
broke into his room, at a
'Mayport Road motel.
According to an Atlantic
Beach police report, the vic-
tim awoke in his room at the
Comfort Inn on NMayport
Road around 5 a.m. when a
large 'brick was thrown
through the room's window.
Two men wearing masks then
climbed though the hole in
the window into his room
and one of the men pointed a
gun at him and ordered him
to stay down while the other
ransacked the room, police
reported. The victim said one
of the men asked him
"where's all the. money?"
One of the suspects grabbed
a "suitcase-type bag" belong-
ing to the victim and with the
other suspect fled through the
window. The victim said the
suitcase contained his driver's


license, social, security card,
some jewelry and $29,000
cash that he'ha'd won that day
on a gambling cruise boat
based out of Mayport Village.
The victim told police that
When he got up and looked
out the window he saw a light
colored Chevrolet' pickup
truck leaving the inn's park-
ing lot.
When police arrived at the
scene they saw a light'colored
Chevrolet pickup truck exit-
ing the parking lot, heading
towards Fleet Landing
Boulevard. The victim told
police that the pickup truck
had followed him from the
parking lot of the gambling
boat. The Comfort Inn at,
2401 Mayport Road is located
a short drive away from where
the gambling boat docks.
An officer stopped the pick-
up truck and detained the
driver for questioning. The
officer searched the vehicle
but found nothing suspicious,
according to the police report.
Atlantic Beach detectives
are continuing to investigate
the incident.

FROM STAFF,
Traffic moved slowly

Beach's major corridors
Tuesday. ',
Utility workers relocating
concrete power poles at
Penman Road and Beach
Boulevard caused traffic at
that intersection to snarl
throughout the day.
Westbound traffic on Beach
Boulevard was backed up
often.
The utilities 'are being
moved to. accommodate the
future realignment and
extension of Penman Road
at Beach Boulevard. The
poles were lifted by. crane
and, sometimes, dangled
over passing cars, causing
many' drivers to slow to
watch the work..
Sgt. Tom Bingham,
spokesman for the police
department, confirmed that
traffic also moved 'slowly in
some other areas of the city.
Heavy equipment being
used to clean the roadsides
at 9th Street 'South and
South Beach Parkway slowed

The Leader's Opinion


'Electing county

commissioners

by districts is

recommended


In November St Johns County voters will get a chance
to improve their representation on the county commis-
sion and hopefully the responsiveness of county govern-
ment as well. The change from a five member county
commission, all members elected at large, to a seven
member board made up of five members elected by dis-
trict vote and two at large is a positive step.
Porte Vedra residents, in particular, should line up
behind the -idea of a commissioner from their own dis-
trict. The community has been frustrated by a lack of
responsiveness from county officials, mainly on issues of
growth and development, and any change that, gives
more weight to the community and less dictatorial
authority to officials in St Augustine would be a welcome
change. '. .
Commissioner Ben Rich made the proposal to place the
change on the November ballot and his effort was unan-
S:imously approved by fellow commissioners. You .cani
expect the developers to put considerable money into
defeating the proposal. So do not be fooled if an organi-
zation called "St. Johns Citizens for Good Government,"
o or some other high sounding title is formed in opposi-
tion. Find out who is paying the bills. As the saying goes,
follow the money.
In 1994 we opposed the change to all commission
members being elected by county-wide vote. We strongly
support the Rich proposal to change back to a more dem-
ocratically elected commission and urge Ponte V\edra
Voters to vote in favor come November.'

Our new mayor and conmmis-

To the editor:
I read with interest the letters addressed to the
editor in your most recent edition. One in partic-
ular, written by Barbara Taylor, captured my
attention. In it, she made reference to the
list of names on the petition to "Save Atlantic
Beach", and that "quite a few live. on Beach
Avenue".
So? Does the fact that many of the residents on
Beach Avenue signed this petition make a differ-
ence? The residents living on Beach Avenue, both
on and off the,ocean, pay a hefty amount of real
estate taxes in comparison to other areas of
Atlantic Beach. Check the tax rolls and see for
yourself. Our hefty tax revenue goes a long way
to help support our police, fire, schools, and local
governments. Services provided not only to those
living on Beach Avenue, but the rest of the com-
munity as well. Those of us who are fortunate
enough to live on Beach Avenue, not only face
stringent building codes from the City of Atlantic
Beach, but also from the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection. I, like therest of the
property owners in Atlantic Beach, have an
investment to protect in a community I call
home.
Ms. Taylor further goes on to state: Ido not
want my current neighbors to sell their property
to someone' who will come in and build a proper-
ty line to property line mansion next to me to,
block my view and light". Ms. Taylor, don't your

property to whomever they want to? And if they
do sell their property, will you welcome the new
owners with a list of what you perceive they can
and cannot do with their new property? How

Time to participate in the process


To the editor:
After discussing the signs
planted in some of my neigh-
bors' yards, I was reminded by a
friend that-despite current
appearances--the majority of
citizens in Atlantic Beach voted
for a change in the last election.
Our mayor and .at least one
new commissioner were elected
by a majority of citizens who,
want to find ways to create and
sustain balanced, community-
friendly growth. There was a vis-
ible, palpable groundswell of


support for new and reasonable
building codes that would con-
trol development that is out of
size and character with its sur-
rounding environs. Now that
we are starting to get into the
details of how to achieve that-
we need to hear. and see those
citizens again.
As this long and important,
process builds, we need to have
all perspectives represented-we
need to have all questions and
concerns raised. While we are
many months from coming to


any conclusion on how to
secure an Atlantic Beach that
.considers both our individual
property rights and our commu-
nity's well-being, we need active
participation in the process
now. I urge all those who were
so vocal in October about pro-
tecting the character of Atlantic
Beach to join us for a critical
town meeting with the Winter
Group on April 11 at 6 p.m. in"
the Commission Chambers.

Emotions are running wild AB resident, architect


To the editor:
I am not a member of the
Save Atlantic Beach group but
my wife and I, along with over
750 other concerned citizens,
have signed the petition on
their website www.saveat-
lanticbeach.com after we read
the proposed amendment to
the current Atlantic Beach
Land Development
Regulations (Section 24-172,
Residential Standards).
The proposed amendment
begins with statements such as
"The City of Atlantic Beach
further intends to protect the
traditional residential develop-
ment patterns within the
City," and "It is the expressed
intent of the City to protect
and maintain the unique
.neighborhood character of
established and traditional res-
idential areas throughout the


City." It also states "It is not
the intent of these new regula-
tions to restrain individual
preferences in residential
architecture or design, or to
limit or adversely effect indi-
vidual property rights or prop-
erty values. The diversity of
residential variety is recog-
nized as an asset to this com-
munity's unique character." I
don't think anyone can argue
with these statements of
intent.
Following these statements,
however, is a proposed ordi-
nance full of unrealistic guide-
lines and restrictions which
will severely limit the architec-
tural diversity, and unique
neighborhood character for
any future remodels, addi-
tions, or new construction.
The proposed amendment, if
passed, would .create a situa-


Code needs minor changes


To the editor:
I am writing to respond to
Mr. Torn Goelz's letter- pub-
lished in the Leader's editorial
page on 3/30/2006. While his
assertion that proponents of
property rights are motivated
by greed is manifestly absurd, I
agree with his statement "our
current code needs some work
[sic]."


Minor changes to our cur-
rent code will make a major
impact on what gets built. To
re-write the entire building
ordinance, as the commission
is currently considering, is to
use a sledgehammer where
only a chisel is required.

on Wal-Mart and

its plans for here


To the editor:
This letter is but the tip of
the proverbial iceberg of this
community's rejection of a
Wal-Mart presence east of the
'IrAcbat'rbfa'al!,and the' Ml~rru-
nal outrage at the considera-
tion of a Super Wal-Mart at the
proposed location on Atlantic
Boulevard in Neptune Beach.
We DO NOT NEED another
Wal-Mart, supersized or other-
wise, in the Beaches vicinity!
For heaven's sake! There is
one located less than 5 miles
west of the Intracoastal
Waterway on Atlantic Blvd.
and another already under
construction on Beach
Boulevard west of the I.W. -
both equally convenient to
.those shoppers who feel com-
pelled to support this particu-
lar mega store chain.
And, in all practicality, the
logically anticipated increase
in traffic congestion, which is
already strained, would VERY
unfavorably and inconvenient-
ly retard access by both resi-
dents and tourists to all other
areas of Atlantic and Neptune
Beach serviced by Atlantic'
Boulevard.
Any arguments in favor of
options of architectural design


and placement on the lot is so
senseless as to be laughable.
Inappropriate and Unwanted is

think: No one but Wal-Mart's .

individuals to whom incen-
tives to support the invasion
might be offered, directly or
indirectly.
What we DO want are
responsible merchants who
have corporately demonstrated
respect for the community, and
those who have proven to be
conscientious good citizens
and good neighbors in deed,
not just in word.
This is to challenge ALL citi-
zens, as well as-those in public
office, who agree with the basic
desire to grow' the Beaches in
the greater public interest
rather than for private or spe-
ciWa interests, to TAKE ACTION!
Speak out NOW, and at every)

the eclectic character of its

available online at the city web

stand how it will affect what

Longtime Mayport captain

and one clear call for me! And
rnay there be no moaning of
the bar, when I put out to sea."
- Crossing the Bar. Alfred
Lord Tennison


somber affairs, but
Friday's memorial serv-
ice for Mayport native
William R. Parker at
Hardage-Giddens Funeral
Home in Jacksonville Beach
was equal parts wake, church
revival and Sunday social.
It seemed like the entire
fishing village of Mayport
turned out to eulogize the
former St. Johns River bar
pilot known simply as
"Captain Bob."
"Jetty Man" author and
Mayport native Billy
Reynolds scanned the crowd
of recognizable faces at the
memorial service and
declared: "This is an incredi-
ble Mayport reunion."
Added Kevin Parker, one of
Capt. Bob's five sons: "My
dad had a lot of friends. By
the looks of this crowd, it's
evident he impacted a lot of
people."
Parker, who died March 28
at age 76, was born on
Thursday, July 18, 1929,
three months before the
stock market crashed.
The son. of a pilot boat
captain, Parker grew up on;
the Mayport docks watching
adventuresome shrimpers
head out to sea in wooden
ships.
It wasn't long before
Parker joined them on the
open water, but notas a

commercial fisherman. He
set his nautical sights higher.
on the job of bar pilot an
experienced skipper who
guides massive vessels into
and out of a harbor
entrance.
Before pilots were licensed,
the art of steering ocean-
going ships down narrow
river channels was consid-
ered "a highly competitive
and often dangerous mad
race to the sea," according to
the Florida State Pilots
Association.
Parker was a former presi-.
dent of the state pilots asso-.
ciation and a 36-year veteran
of the state-regulated profes-
sion that dates to 1839 in
Florida.
He held the highest attain-
able certification for bar
pilots: the U.S. Coast Guard's
Unlimited Ocean .Master's
License.
They are called bar pilots
because they guide large ves-
sels such as car carriers and
container ships over the'


shallow sandbar at the
entrance to a river.
Once aboard a large cpm-
mercial ship, local bar pilots
outrank a ship's captain.
"When my dad was on the
bridge of a ship, he was a
totally different person,",
recalled Kevin Parker, whose
brother, Doug, is a third-gen-
eration pilot who guides
ships through the docking,
process at Jacksonville ports.
"My dad gave all the boat
captains the devil. He was a
man who said what he
thought. You never had to,
worry about what he was
thinking because he would
tell you."
Parker loved all things
nautical. He once purchased
a motor home simply
because the recreational
vehicle was named "South
Wind."
Bar piloting is a lucrative,
profession (pilots command
six-figure salaries) but it has
its moments of peril. Pilots
have to board ships in high
seas and climb long ladders
to the bridge.
One of Parker's brothers
was killed in a pilot boat
accident.
Bar pilots area close-knit
community because job
openings are rare. Deputy
pilots are former ship cap-
tains or senior deck officers
who serve a minimum two-
year apprentice before
receiving a state license.
Many do not pass the state
exam on the first try, accord-
ing.to the state pilots associ-
ation.
I "When you are an appren-


tice pilot, you get the down-
town jobs, while the veter-
ans take the shorter runs,"
said Kevin Parker, who sur-
vived a near-fatal car acci-
dent several years ago.
"When I was in a wheel-
chair, my dad poured his life
into me. He was my best
friend.." '
Capt. Bob was a family
man who loved to tease his
nieces, nephews and giand-
children and get under
someone's skin.
* Kevin Parker said his,
father had a "strange friend-
ship" with former Mayport
shrimper Hilton Floyd,
adding that whenever the
two got together they imme-
diately "started arguing."
"He could be fierce when,
he turned up the heat,"
Raymond Mickler said at the
,memorial service.
"He delighted in making
me cry," kidded one of
Parker's nieces. "He was like
a father to me." .
Joy Covington, who grew
up with Parker and is writing
a book about her childhood,
said Mayport was "one of
the most beautiful towns to
live in.
"We would play on the
sand hills."
Kevin Parker said his -
father was one of the so-
called "wharf rats" of pre-
World War II Mayport. On
his casket was placed a
flower arrangement with a
replica of a pilot boat on
top.

Sweet Easter cookies


are an Italian recipe


by KATHY NICOLETTI
COLUMNIST
Ponte Vedra resident Ada
Gaudio Ugles says,
S"Food is the cement
that keeps families together."
Ugles and her husband,
Doug, both come from fami-
lies that placed a great
importance on good cooking
and family meals. It's almost
as if "food has been our mid-
dle name," she said.
LUgles grew up in an
Italian-American family in
New York City where she
said everything "centered
around cooking."
Her husband is of Polish
and Yugoslavian descent and
his father was a chef. The
couple worked in family
restaurants for several years
before they began 20-year
teaching careers.
While she was a teacher,
Ugles spent every Sunday in
thekitchen preparing meals
so that her family could
have a home cooked dinner
every night. She also incor-
porated cooking into the
classroom experience for her
students.
Ugles taught third, fourth,
and fifth grade. A special
class project was a yearly
international luncheon.
Students brought in dishes
from whatever country their
family had originally been
from to share with the class.
Then, every year Ugles put
together a cookbook of the
recipes.
Retired in Florida for the
past 10 years, the Ugles
moved to Ponte Vedra about
six years ago. Two of their
foure cliildren'a'i 'lioh e in. .
Ponte Vedra with their fami-
lies. The couple have nine
grandchildren.
In addition to cooking,
Ugles volunteers at Palmer
Catholic Academy and Our
Lady Star of the Sea Catholic
Church, plays bridge and
poker, is in a book club, and
does water aerobics.
She also belongs to an
informal group of four ladies
who call themselves "the
Four Chefs." The group
meets on a regular basis to
cook and learn new things.
Next on their list is
Chinese cooking, Ugles said.
Each cooking sessions turns
into a dinner party when
their husbands join the
ladies to enjoy what they
have prepared.
Ugles also recently conm-
piled a family cookbook with
recipes she has collected over
the years as well as recipes
handed down from, both


sides of the family. ,
Many of the Italian dishes
Ugles included are those that
she learned by watching her
mother.
These were recipes that
came from her mother's fam-
ily in Italy and had probably
been passed down for several
generations. .
The family edition of the ,
cookbook, "Nana's in the
Kitchen", was -a Christmas
present from Ugles to the .
women of the family. She
said she was pleasantly sur-
prised when her 15-year-old
grandson also asked for a
copy of the cookbook.
Baking is one of Ugles spe-
cialties and she has many
recipes for Italian cookies,
cakes and other baked goods.
Taralli Dolci Di Pasqua or
Sweet Easter Cookies are
ring-shaped buttery cookies
with a lemony icing.
Durdeed or Italian Wine
Cookies are deep fried treats
coated with warm honey
before serving. Angineiti
have the distinctive flavor of
anise in the cookie dough
and the glaze on top.
SUgles' recipe for Italian
Rum Cake is a modernized
version with a couple short-
cakes. A homemade cake can
be used but Ugles suggest
saving time and using a pur-
chased pound cake for this
dessert with the distinctive
ru lin fla .-or. -" -
The cake is refrigerated
overnight with layers of
vanilla and chocolate pud-
ding and covered with
whipped topping or confec-
tioner's sugar before serving.
Pizza Rustica is a family
favorite. Ugles suggests using
pepperoni for the unique fla-
vor it adds to this pizza
made with no tomatoes.
For the Mfeatballs to serve
with-Tomato Sauce, Ugles
uses a whole loaf of Italian
-bread to bind all the ingredi-
Sents together. She bakes the.
Meatballs on a cookie sheet
before using them with the
classic Tomato Sauce.
The foloi'ing are some of
Ada Ugles recipes.

Bill," who died at age 2.
Following the burial,
friends and family gathered
at the historic Mayport
Presbyterian Church, where
Parker was an ordained elder.


During Sunday services,
Parker always sat at the rear
of the church in an old-fash-
ioned chair with his back to
the window.
The tiny church, which
seats about 60 people, was
the first choice for Parker's
memorial service.
"It's where we would have
had it but there just wasn't
enough room," said Kevin
Parker.
"Piloting was his life. He
lived and breathed it. I can
still see his white hair flying


in the breeze as he climbed
up the bridge ladder,"
And like the famous
Tennyson poem about death
and rebirth. ("I hope to see
my Pilot face to face when I
have crossed the bar") Kevin
Parker said his father had a
chance to say goodbye to
family and friends a day
before he died.
Wrote Tennyson: "Twilight
and evening bell, and after
that the dark! And may there
be no sadness of farewell,
when I embark."

Nease baseball back to winning ways


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
The Nease baseball team
continued jts winning ways
over the weekend, defeating'
district rival Pedro Menendez
7-3 Friday, then beating
Nashua South of New
Hampshire 8-1 Saturday.
The two home victories lift-
ed the Panthers' record to 14-1,
the only blemish being a 3-2,
eight-inning loss at Port
Orange Atlantic March 27.
Matt Reifsnider earned his
sixth win in the Menendez
game, Matthew Redding was
the winning pitcher against
Nashua South. Redding,
Nease's starting catcher, is 3-0
on the mound this season.
With the score 3-1 Nease in
the fifth, one run in, two outs
and two Nashua South runners
on base, Panthers second base-
man Blake Sanders made a div-
ing catch of a line drive hit by
his counterpart, Kyle Sariceno,
to end the threat.
"That was an amazing play,"
said Redding. "Got me out of a
jam."
"Blake Sanders is one of the
best infielders, I would argue,
in the state of Florida," said
Nease coach Boo Mullins. "He
can play second base anywhere
in the country."
Redding allowed just the one
run and two hits before turn-
ing the mound duties over to
Ryan Chiodo, who threw a 1-2-
3 seventh, including a strike-
out of cleanup hitter Joe
Barrera.
Redding recorded six strike-
outs and issued two walks. He
threw 4-1/3 hitless innings
before giving up a single to
Nashua South's No. 5 hitter,
Andrew Brower. %
The slider was Redding's out
pitch in his last start and first
of the season, March 14 against
Terry Parker. But the fastball
was his bread-and-butter pitch
against Nashua South.
"I only threw four sliders all
night," said Redding. .'I..was..
-throwing strorfg --tonight.-
Coach said I was 90s the whole
game."


The loss to the Panthers was
the third of the weekend for
the New Hampshire team, vis-
iting the Jacksonville area to
get in some spring training.
They lost at Terry Parker 1-0
Friday, then to Trinity
Christian 8-2 earlier Saturday.
Nashua South is New
Hampshire's defending class
6A state champion.
"We did real well tonight, 1
thought, considering," Nashua
South coach B.J. Neverett said
Saturday. "We ran out of pitch-
ing there in the last inning" as
Nease scored four times.


NEASE 7
MENENDEZ 3

NEASE 8
NASHUA-SOUTH 1
Nashua South's starting
pitcher, Dan Rossignal, who
gave up five runs and seven hits
in his five innings of work,
signed a scholarship in
November to attend the
University of Rhode Island.
"He's the best kid in our
league. I thought he did a fan-
tastic job this early in the year
to go five against these guys,"
said Neverett. "I think the
thing we saw is we're way
behind these guys in live at-
bats.
"The boy that pitched for
Nease [Redding], we won't see
anyone like that all year. We
explained that to our kids.
That's why we come down
here, to experience that. This
makes us 4 better team.
- I was-iown here last time
(two years ago) with' Chase
Fontaine and Tim Tebow. I still


see the ball Tebow hit over the
rightfield fence that's still trav-
eling," Neverett joked.
Including a game at Palatka
Tuesday, Nease has seven con-
tests left in its regular season.
That includes a St. Johns River
Athletic Conference champi-
onship game April 18. Nashua
South has yet to start its season.
The games in the Sunshine
State are considered preseason
games for the New Hampshire
school, although the results
count for the Florida schools.
Neverett had been following
Nease on the Internet, knowing
his team would face the
Panthers.
"I know they went all the
way to the final four last year,"
he said. "I'm smart enough to
know that when you make the
final four in this state, you've
got to be awfully good .
These are kids that have dedi-
cated their lives to playing
baseball year-round," Neverett
said of the Nease players. "Our
culture's not that way. That's
- why you don't see so many
northern kids moving on to the
big schools."
With the weekend victories
behind them, the Panthers were
looking ahead to Tuesday's
matchup at Palatka.
"Palatka's tough," said
Mullins. "They're just like us,
they play hard It's going to
be a battle. That's my home-
town. I want to go down there
and win more than anything.
"They'll be ready to play us.
When I walk in there, it'll get
them up even more. And I know
that coach wants to beat us,
too."
Mullins said he has a deep
pitching staff, with Reifsnider,
Redding and Daniel Jones as his
starters.
"We've got some relievers that
probably would be some other
team's No. 1 or No. 2," said
Mullins, who expressed pride in
his team.
"We played great tonight. We
played our brand of baseball,
and it was almost a perfect
game. We're 14-1, which is the
best record the school's ever
had. It's the highest ranking in
the state the school's ever had."

Nease girls tennis


awaits return of


top singles player


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS It'RTER
The Nease girls tennis team
has been without its No. 1 play-
er, Taylor Crosby, sidelined with
an elbow injury, for several
weeks. In her absence, the
Panthers have struggled to a 6-5
record, the latest outing a 6-1
loss to Gainesville last Thursday.
"I was in the middle of a
match. I felt
something in
my elbow just
really start to We've mi:
hurt," Crosby
said in describ- her person
ing her injury.
"I tried to ice it skills. She

kept playing, hope she'll
And I had
another match ------ ,
after that.
When I came Marj
back here, we Nease girls
had three high
school matches that week. I
played in all."
Crosby went to see Dr. Todd
Northrup, who told her she
probably should hawe stopped
playing after the south Florida
tournament in which first felt
the strain.
"I haven't played for three
weeks now," she said. "The
physical therapist said I proba-
bly won't be able to play for
probably another week or so.
"The doctor will give me a
slow program to start getting
[back] into tennis, like only hit-
ting a certain number of fore-
hands and a certain number of
serves. If it isn't much better, I'll
get an MRI to see if I tore some-
thing," said Crosby, who is anx-
ious to return to the court.
"Oh, I miss it so much," she
said while watching her team-
mates play. "It's hard just being
out here watching, because I
want to go into the matches and
try to play them. But I can't."


S





tia


"We miss her terribly," said
Nease girls coach Mary Faulds.
"She's been a wonderful asset to
the team. She plays an incredi-
ble game of tennis, and we've
missed her for her personality
and her skills. She's a team play-
er. We really do hope she'll be
back."
Crosby was 6-1 in singles for
Nease at the time of her injury.
Her loss came in the team's 7-0
defeat by
Tallahassee
Leon on
sed her for March 8.

ennis coach matches she
won for Nease,
Crosby, who recently was
ranked No. 33 in Florida in
United States Tennis Association
girls 16 & Under and 19th in the
state in 14 &-Under, lost just one
game.
Crosby hopes to be back
before the Class 3A state tennis
tournament, which will take
place April 26-28 at Altamonte
Springs, or for the Gator Bowl
tennis tournament, to be played
April 29-May 1 at the ATP
Tennis Club in Ponte Vedra
Beach.
The freshman attended the
Gainesville match to root for
teammates and also to see
friends on the visiting squad,
including Casey Simmons, with
whom she finished third in dou-
bles in the USTA Florida State
Closed Championship last sum-
mer.
Simmons played first singles
for Gainesville against Nease
and defeated Caitlin Cassidy,
subbing for Crosby, 6-0, 6-1.


Gators earn NCAA respect




with first national crown


By REX EDMONDSON
SPORTS COL LUMNIST
Win, lose or rained out, the
Florida Gators have to be the
team of the year in the NCAA.
By the same token, Billy
Donovan should be coach of
the year.
We could be a little biased,
but they have to salute a team
that came back from the tem-
porarily dead during the regu-
lar season to play like the bad
things never happened and it
knew what it was doing all the
time that was heading for
the national championship
game.
Even with all the attention
George Mason University got
as the Cinderella team of the
year, the Gators just pulled up
their pantaloons and buried
the Patriots, 73-58, rendering
their foes just as dead as their
old namesake, the original
George Mason. Florida beat the
challengers with as sharp a
three-point attack as seen all
season. But they also beat the
Pats on defense. Fact is, if the
first Red Coats had been as
awesome, George Mason and
the Big G iGeorge Washington)
may not have chased the
limeys out of this country.
The Gators probably would
have found a way to win last
Saturday night up in Indy
without Lee Humphrey's six
three-pointers. The George
Masons would have been hard
put to stop Donovan's
Dandies anyway. Joakim
Noah, the titular leader of
these cutthroats, might have
just scared the Patriots into
capitulating. The nation, led
by the media, just fell in love
with George Mason U.
But Florida is just plain
good. This drive to the cham-
pionship reminds some of us

made it 36 years ago.
For those too young to
know about it, the JU team led
by towering players Artis
Gilmore and Pembrook
Burrows, who ranged in the 7-
to 8-foot category, and floor-
led by Rex Morgan (Batman
and Robin they were called),
the Dolphins almost pulled
off the miracle of their day in
1970.
This wouldn't be a big story
otherwise except that Artis
and Pembrook, along with
diminutive Chipper Dublin,
made history on the Arlington
campus by integrating the


Jacksonville University sports
program.
To say that Artis, who went
on to a fine NBA career, was
awesome is like saying the sky
is high. Size is not as eye-bog-
gling now, but it was then.
Artis was so tall that when he
got a haircut the barber
pumped himself up.
Yep, the miracle burst in the
final with a loss in the cham-
pionship, game, but the
Dolphins, coached by Joe
Williams and Tom Wasdin,
made history. Until that sea-
son, probably half of
Jacksonville didn't even know
where or what JU was. It
caused one of the biggest


excitements the old town had
seeh since the fire of 1901.
One thing that's come out
of all the NCAA coverage this
year is that now the world
knows who or what George
Mason is and was.
Whatever the outcome of
Monday night's game against
UCLA was to be, the Gators
have only increased 'their
glory. Cheers for Coach
Donovan and his gang.
Incidentally, almost lost
between golf and bounce ball,
the Jacksonville Suns open
their Southern League pen-
nant defense this week at the
Ball Grounds. Give them a
visit you'll like it.
