Teachers prepare for summer vacation
by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF IW'RITER
Tuesday was the last day of
school for teachers in St. Johns
County public schools, and
some Ponte Vedra teachers
were looking forward to their
summer break and the places
they planned to %isit.
%While the faculty at Ponte"
Vedra-Palm Valley Elementary
School attended a technology
class on their last day of
school, those at other schools
* were seen filing,, straightening
and packing boxes of goods to
take home.
Lynne Jansen, a first-year
sixth- and seventh-grade lan-
guage arts teacher at Landrum
Middle School, had her vehi-
cle packed and ready to go as
soon as she left school
Tuesday afternoon. She and
her teen sons were hitting the
road.
"I'm out of here, taking
advantage of my first sum-
mer," said Jansen, who started
teaching full time this year
and needs two more classes to
achieve certification.
"It was a blast," she said of
her first year at Landrum. "I
loved it."
Jansen started in St. Johns
County last spring, when she
taught drama at Bartram Trail.
When she and her sons get
back from their trip, she said,
she'll take a summer class at
the University of North
Florida toward her certifica-
tion.
"Road trip comes first," she
said.
Jansen and her sons are
headed to Colorado, where
they will spend most of their
time in the mountains around
Silverthorne, near
Breckenridge, she said.
Her 16-year-old son, Evan,
who got his license three
ffi6ith- ag6;,T"riH- help with
the driving, while Derek "will
be sitting in the back seat,
watching DVDs the whole
'time," she said. .., .'.
Among those who plan to
travel this summer are two
longtime Ponte Vedra teachers
who are retiring: Rawlings
third-grade teacher Jane
Skelton and Landrum eighth-
grade language arts teacher
Rebekah Dobson.
Skelton is calling it a career
after 24 years in St. Johns
County schools, 11 of them at
Ponte Vedra-Palm Valley and
, 13 of them at Rawlings. She
said she plans to spend time
with her grandson, Tyler
McAfee.
"He's 3 and the apple of my
eye," she said.
Plans include taking a trip
to Sanibel, Fla., in June with
her husband John, a retired
Army lieutenant colonel.
"He has something planned
for our anniversary [July 17),
but it's a secret," said Shelton.
But retirement will riot keep
her out of the school, said
Skelton, noting that she plans
to return as a volunteer.

Nine months ago, a group of
citizens came together with
the goal of making St. Johns
County' more responsive to its
residents.
Now, their ideas have mate-
rialized in the first draft of a
document that would switch
the county to a charter gov-
ernment if approved by voters.
The draft has been sent to
each of the five county com-
missioners and the five consti-
tutional officers for their feed-
back before the group asks-the
Florida Legislature to place it
on a ballot, said Tina
McGough, chairman of the
group.
"I think the time is ripe
now," NMcGough said in an
interview Tuesday.
Two previous attempts at
charter initiatives in the past
dozen years were unsuccessful,
but McGough said this new
charter is less "radical" and
.makes very few changes to the
county's current constitution-
al form of government.
The charter as drafted would
restrict county commissioners
to two, four-year terms, would
limit each campaign contribu-
tion to a maximum of $250,
and would allow voters to
recall elect-
^y^A ,# ., ed officials.

The charter group, which is
a subcommittee of the Ponte
Vedra Beaches Coalition but
included members from all
areas of the county, is striving
to have the charter document
on the 2008 general election
ballot, according to McGough.
McGough said the group
will ask state legislators who
represent St. Johns County to
sponsor a special law enabling
the charter proposal to be
placed on the ballots of St.
Johns County voters.
The group is still consider-
ing asking for a special elec-
tion in 2007, but McGough

For Ponte Vedra residents
who travel to other parts of
the country to beat the sum-
mer heat, Penny Halyburton,
supervisor of elections, has
just one reminder: "It's going
to be really hard for you to
find an excuse not to vote."
As a preamble to a meet-
and-greet with candidates for
the St. Johns Board of County
Commissioners Monday
evening, Halyburton and
Ponte Vedra Beaches Coalition
president Clara Cowan
reminded residents that voting
in the county has never been
easier, even for travelers.
"We have so many people
who travel for the summer,"
Cowan said before introducing
Halyburton at the meeting
held at the Sawgrass Marriott
Resort.
"It has been made so easy to
exercise your right to vote in
this county that no one has an
excuse."
With the primary election
scheduled for Sept. 5. Cowan
said she worries that many
people will still be traveling for
the summer and will forget to
vote.
Halyburton said any citizen
who is registered to vote in St.
Johns County can request an
absentee ballot, which are usu-
ally available about 30 days
before the election.

can be made by calling (904)

The naming of Palm Valley goes down in history and up on marker
by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
A self-described "newcom-
er" to Palm Valley has been
instrumental in the develop-
ment of a new state historical
marker to be unveiled in Palm
Valley next week.
The marker, which had been
discussed by a county histori-.
cal review board as early as
2003, will be unveiled at 11
a.m. Saturday, June 3, on:the
grounds of the Palm Valley
Community Center, 148 Canal
Blvd.
The marker is a standard,
state-sanctioned sign similar to
the one that explains Diego
Plains, the name that preceded,
the name "Palm Valley."
That marker stands in front
of Landrum Middle School on
Landrum Lane.
The text on the Palm V'alley
marker "primarily revolves
around the name 'Palm Valley'
and why that name was cho-
sen," Greg Leonard, president
of the Palm Valley Community'
Association, said Tuesday.
"This historical marker is
really not about politics. It's
about history," he said.
, Politics became involved in
some other, smaller signs.
marking Palm \'alley.
Although the Palm Valley
Community Association con-
ceived of and planned those
signs, the St. Johns County-
Commission became involved
after some Ponte Vedra resi-
dents objected to placing the
signs near their neighbor-

After much heated discus-
sion in the community, the
County Commission in March
2004 OK'd the placement of,
four signs along roadways in
the Ponte Vedra area. The
wooden signs welcome drivers
to Palm Valley.
Those signs and the histori-.
cal marker were made "on sep-
arate tracks," said Leonard, a
20-year resident of the valley
who said he is a "still a new-
comer."
"As a community member,
certainly like other like-mind-
ed citizens in the area, I have
been very interested in preserv-
ing a sense of place in Palm
Valley," Leonard said, noting
that the area's history dates
back about 300 years, and the

"We see ourselves as a com-

area," which continues to
grow, particularly with the post
office's designation of Nocatee
as "Ponte Vedra," Leonard said.
Although the Palm Valley
welcoming signs were a project
of the Palm Valley Community
Association, the historical
marker is a project of the state,
the county's Historic Resource

Teen drinking targeted
The St. Johns County
Sheriffs Office has developed a
task force initiative to curb
underage drinking, drug. and.
tobacco use..
The task force was formed in
conjunction with PACT pre-
vention coalition, comprised
of various community organi-
zations, business leaders and
youth assistance groups to
reduce the consequences of
underage substance abuse .
With the school year ending
today, the task force will begin
to educate the -community on
the impact that drugs have on
St. Johns County youth.
The task force will target
:underage alcohol and tobacco
sales and will respond to par-
ties where underage or illegal
substance abuse use may be
occurring.
Once illegal activities are dis-
covered, deputies will further
investigate who is responsible
for providing the substances.
In cases where underage use
has been supported by an
adult, the adult may be
charged.
The PACT Coalition is fund-
ed by the Governor's Office of
Drug Control and was awarded
to 20 counties in Florida with
the highest per capital rates of
underage drinking in Florida.

Teachers:
Continued from A-i
year of teaching.
Dickey's summertime plans
include working in her class-
room, going on vacation and
'doing things around the
;house. Ileana Yarbrough, a
third-grade teacher at Ocean
'Palms Elementary School,
:stayed home last summer,
'cleaning closets and getting
organized, she said.
But his year, she plans to
travel with her son Pierce, a
student at Landrum, and their
Australian cow dog puppy,
."Fitch," splitting their time
between Idaho and Jackson
Hole, Wyo.
Yarbrough said she plans to
fit in "hiking, exploring, and
white-water rafting" on their
summer break.
"I'm going to enjoy it very
much since school starts so
early this year and our summer
will be abbreviated," she said.
Charter: Proposal would be third attempt
photo by CHUCK ADAMS
Ocean Palms third-grade teacher Ileana
Yarbrough, her son Pierce and-their Australian
cow dog puppy.
Continued from A-1
said having the charter on the 2008
ballot would be ideal because of
better voter turnout.
Despite the two years yet to
come before such a vote; McGough
said she and the group strive to
keep the charter initiative in the
limelight.
McGough said this task should-
n't be too difficult, because com-
missioners continue to approve
projects despite public outcry.
Frustration over what some per-
ceived as the County Commission's
acting in opposition to the public's
wishes prompted the Coalition to
study the notion of a charter.
One early example was the coun-
ty's purchase of St. Johns Service
Co., and a' recent example is the
commissioners' approval of a water
bottling plant in the northwest
part of the county. .
If approved as proposed, the
charter would place restrictions on
the use of property acquired
through eminent domain and
would require that campaign
reports be filed electronically.
Supervisor of Elections Penny
Halyburton, one of the constitu-
tional officers who have been given
copies of the charter draft, said
electronic filing would "absolutely"
make her job easier.
"Every candidate should
absolutely love it," she said,
because they can file their contri-
butions from their home computer
on a daily basis and then print out
a copy of the report to file with the
supervisor of elections office.
Although electronic filing is cur-
rently available to candidates in St.
SJohns County, it is not required,
Halyburton said.
Candidates who do not file elec-
tronically must keep track of their
contributions and fill out paper
reports which election officials
must scan into an Internet data-
base, she said.
The reports appear on the super-
visor of election's Web site as
images, which prevents users from
sorting and analyzing them,
Halyburton said.
Now that the charter has been
drafted, McGough said the next
step is to refine the document
based on feedback provided by citi-
zens and county officials. Then the
group will try to get it on the bal-
lot.
A similar charter initiative never
made it to the ballot in 1994, but a
second attempt in 1998 did. The
voters rejected that proposal by a 2-
to-1 margin, with more than 3,000
voting "yes" and more than 6,000
voting "no," according to
McGough.
Marker:
Continued from A-i
ciation secure a historical
marker, a member of the
review board said in October
2004. .
The Palm Valley Community
Association, using research
done largely by Leonard,
helped write the text for the
historical marker, which went
through some changes before
getting final approval.
Anv-early draft of the pro-
posed text notes that "Diego
Plains was renamed: Palm
Valley after the Sabal palm,
which grows in abundance in
the surrounding area."
The draft explained that the
nation's churches ordered fresh
cut palms for Palm Sunday cel-
ebrationsand families in the
area worked to gather and ship
the palm fronds.
Leonard declined to reveal
the text of the new marker, say-
ing he wanted to "leave a little
bit of suspense for the unveil-
ing."
The public is invited to the
event, which will include
refreshments and visits. by the
authors of two books about
Palm Valley.
One is Grahl Neitz, author of
a newly released book,
"Cranberries, Duck Feathers
and the Tides." The other is

Halyburton said.
The method for voting
early has also been changed.
Instead of the traditional
optical scan system, early vot-

screens.
Halyburton said state legis-
lators in 2005 approved a
requirement that all early

and the optical scan
machines weren't built to
handle all the memory from
the 63 precincts in the coun-
ty.
The new touch screen vot-
ing machines can handle that
information and are easy to
use, Halyburton told resi-
dents.

The Leader's Opinion
Community Center
will fulfill promise
The former Flag Pavilion hosted youth basket-
ball games and antique shows, as the director of
the Jacksonville beach Community
Redevelopment Agency recalled last week.
The building sat one block off the beach,
-empty much of the time as a mix of bad acoustics
and an unfortunate match between design and
purpose created far from optimal demand for the
building. Nevertheless, it was home to many con-
certs, trade shows, community programs and
other events.
Now, the nearest venues are the community
rooms at the Beach libraries -both of which can
handle a much smaller crowd.
Hours of operation also limit what is offered. A
hurricane preparedness program at the Beaches
Public LIbrary was filled to capacity last week and'
the crowd had to be hurried out as the library
closes at 8 p.m.
Since the Flag Pavilion was razed, the Beaches
have lacked a central spot for community gather-
ings of any import or size. City fathers promised
a replacement when the pavilion was destroyed.
It has taken longer than expected but plans are
proceeding to build a community center at a
south Jacksonville Beach park. Last week the city
agreed to spend the money needed "to determine
the scope of the community center project."
The expenditure should allow the city to make
good on its promise to residents. A well-designed
community center also promises to provide a
much needed gathering spot for community pro-
grams. '
A place where residents can come together and
use the facilities for mutually beneficial civic pur-
poses is an investment in the community.
Letters to the editor:
Codes must work to keep
Beach city a special place
To the editor:
As a concerned citizen and
supporter of Save Atlantic
Beach, I have been discour-
: aged by some recent letters to
Sthe editor" n The Leader. One
letter suggests thaif property'
owners are more concerned.
with property values than
community values.
This just isn't so (although
surely no property owner
would want to see the. value
of their property go down!).
The current commission is
considering adopting new
building guidelines by anon-
resident consultant who;
refers to AB as a "resort com-
munity. "," This consultant
,clearly does not understand
our unique, beach communi-,-
ty. Most Atlantic Beach resi-
dents. simply do -not want
city government making
drastic and unnecessary"
changes to our existing build-
ing guidelines. There are
compromises that can be'
made to existing',codes to'
help eliminate the
McMansion Affect (i.e., elim-
inating the 35" one plate
wall, etc.). WVe don't need to
reinvent the building code
wheel!
Another letter to the editor
suggests only developers
would be against the new'
proposals to current guide-
lines. Not so! My husband
and l, purchased a home in
the "core city" itwhich is con-
fusing and in itself deserves
serious' discussion but that's
another'letter!' 10 yai's ago
with plans to renovate and
enjoy.
Turns out the old house
needs so much repair that a-
full bulldoze and rebuild is
needed. And, although we '
had no intentions of building
a McM, with the new pro-
posed guidelines we would.
not be able to build a main
floor master bedroom due to
square footage restrictions.
We also would have. to
build up to the 35! height,
which we hadn't intended: to
do, in order to gain a reason-
able amount -of square
footage and would probably
Shave to architect a mansard
roof! (not our architecture of
choice'). I do not believe we
are alone on issues like these
and we are certainly not
developers!:,.
Please, let's agree to work
with our, current building
codes to keep Atlantic Beach
what it has been for a lbng
time -, a great and,; special
place to live .

Many choices fill wants, not needs
I don't know how it's possi-,
ble, but suddenly, buying
a toothbrush is confusing.
How they can keep ieinvent-
ing something as simple as
one inch of bristles on a 4
inch stick is beyond me, but
the industry comes up with
another version almost
monthly. A recent commer-
cial showed.vitally angled
strategically shaped bristles
with new cleaning power,
implying that any other
choice would result in horri-
ble and justly deserved decay.
If a newcomer to this planet
watched a stung of ads for
toothbrush choices alone, he
would get back in:his space-
ship and exit at time warp
speed, thinking if life is that
difficult there, then he wants
no part of it.
The number of choices
available for.any product, any
service, or just plain recre-.
ation are staggering to the
imagination. In the age of
cyber and cable communica-

There is a profound differ-'
ence between lislng life abun-

more that is available, the
more elusive satisfaction can
become.

favorite child psychologist,

catalogs coming in his mail-
box every day skewing his
vision of fun. After realizing
that letting my children look
through these catalogs set up
a dialogue of unending beg-
ging and dissatisfaction, I put
the uash can beside my mail-
box and nipped that in the
bud.
Internet shopping is just as
bad. When looking tor a cover
for my daughter's bed, I
shopped in several stores with
meager findings:' In fact, by
the end of the' day, I'
would have bought anything
.,that was close to feminine in
color or style and have been
happy. I tried shopping via
internet and suddenly was
overwhelmed with hundreds
of :choices of color, pattern,
and texture. After an hour. I
turned my computer off
with empty handed disgust.
There must be some satellite
system that alerts the shoe
stores of this country when I
come anywhere near. It says,
something like "OK guys, here
she comes. Hide all those 8
narrows except for that pair
we've been trying to unload
for weeks." I'm not kidding
about this. No matter what.
size I'm looking for, there are
slim to none available, and,'
becoming desperate, I choose
function over style. Actually., I
can choose between two dif-
ferent shoes and be happy.
Choosing among 20 is impos- .
sible and leaves me filled with'
the regret of knowing that
there was the possibility of
making a better choice.
Could this have something
' to do with.our quest for "bet-
ter" quality of life and the
debt we get ourselves into? No
matter who you are, someone,
somewhere, has more stuff
than you. Suddenly, we think
we can not be happy unless
we have whatever it is that
guy just bought.
I'm reminded of one of
my favorite children's sto-
ries/movies: Veggie Tales
"Madame Blueberry." MNme B.
wants 'to be happy, so she
buys stuff. When this doesn't
make her happy enough, she
buys more. The ending to this
story is poignant to children
and adults and puts- perspec-
tive on filling our emotional'
tariks with "stuff." In this clev-
erly crafted tale, Mime.
Blueberry finds freedom from
constant "need for more! in
gratefulness.
An abundant life and abun-
dant things can be at opposite
ends of the spectrum. Type
this in large print and tape it
Sto my mirror because the two
can quickly become
confused with each other, and
joy and contentment slip
away.

Define entertain ent district
To the editor:
I am confused by your fre-
quent use of the term
"Entertainment District" or,
alternatively "Downtown
Entertainment District". I
have searched the Jacksonville
Beach City Charter, our
Comprehensive Plan, the
Downtown Redevelopment'
Plan, and the. Land
Development Code and I can
find no mention of an.
Entertainment District. Did,
you make this up or is it based
on something?
My wife thinks it is a. new
euphemism for the blighted
area. My son, on the other
hand, thinks it refers to, the
drunken antics common
Downtown which he finds
entertaining. He cites the
example of the woman that
.recently stumbled into our
garage to urinate who was so
drunk that when she dropped
her drawers and squatted she
missed the concrete floor and
peed into her lowered pants!
After reading of the sting
operation where nine "Johns"
were arrested for soliciting
prostitution in the Downtown
Redevelopment Area last
week, I was wondering if this
was the type of Entertainment
District you intend.
Please solve this mystery.
Who is right?

All property should be protected
To the editor:
As a resident of Atlantic
Beach, I have, been following
the recent developments
regarding the Winter Report
very closely.
I am frustrated with the
assertions that all supporters
of Save Atlantic Beach are
only focused on property val-
ues, maximum building, and
using their homes as a "401k".
I have been a resident of
Atlantic Beach for over 10
years. I currently live in an
older home on a nice sized.
lot. I have no desire to build a
"McMansion" on my proper-
ty. I am not excited about the
possibility of my neighbors
building such structures.
However, I feel very strongly
that it is not the city's right to
dictate to me what I can build
on the property that I have
worked so hard for. This is my
home.
I also feel that it is not the
city's right, or mine to dictate
to my neighbors what they
can build on their lots. After
attending several of the Save
Atlantic Beach meetings, city
commission meetings, the
recent town hall meeting and
reading the ordinance, I can
say that I am against this ordi-
nance and think our city'lead-
ers need to begin again. This
is also the position that Save
Atlantic Beach stated in the
town hall meeting. Everyone
wants our community to
remain unique, but accusing
those who refuse to accept
this ridiculously stringent
ordinance of only wanting to
use their homes as a bank
account is unjust.
I am also alarmed at the tac-
tics that the city commission-
ers and the mayor have taken
trying to minimize support
for Save Atlantic Beach by
declaring that the only people
who should be concerned,
heard, and considered are
those who live in old Atlantic
Beach. I attended the town
meeting when the "change"
in the ordinance so that it
only includes old Atlantic
Beach was announced. I only
hope that I am in attendance
when- the "change" putting
my property back in the
included boundaries occurs.
My interest is in the city as an
entirety, not just qIy home or
my street. Our community
focus should be to work
together, not to divide and
conquer.
This is. an emotional issue
on both sides with the poten-
tial to cause much discord
among neighbors. It is my
sincere hope that our commu-
nity can work through our
differences on this issue and
come to a reasonable compro-
mise.

Hurry up fall
I really
miss
seeing.
football
Seeing a onetime pigskin-,
ner, I could almost feel
sweat trickling down my
face as I looked at pictures of
Fletcher football players in
spring practice. The photos
Were in our May 3rd issue,
and they reminded me of
how much I miss football 'sea-
son. I'm not alone on that.
Of all the sports'contests
watched on TV at the
American Legion, footbrawl
definitely stimulates the most
passionate reactions. At
times, the members, includ-.
ing me, sound like a pack of
hounds on a fox hunt.
The excitement is particu-
larly intense if the Jaguars or a
Florida college team such as
the UF Gators or the FSU
Seminoles are playing. Bueno.
An editorial by Sports Fans of
America has stated that a deep
attachment to the home team
is good for mental health-
even if the team loses. They
quote one psychologist who
asserts,- "It's healthy-to have
6-titlets'where' you can inest
your'eif6tions." '
The positive effect that foot-
ball has on morale is demon-
strated in a September 2004
blog from a man working in.
Baghdad with the Army Corps
.of Engineers. Since the
Americans stationed there had
been, as he put' it, "under the
constant threat, of mortars,
rockets, car bombs, and gun-
fire" they "don't smile much."
The lifting of spirits from the
beginning of college football
season ;was amazing.
"Suddenly," he wrote, "in just,
one night, almost every sol-
dier was talking, bragging, dis-
cussing, debating, and revel-'
ing in the exploits of their
favorite college team." And
they could only experience
the games via radio broadcast!
Some football filberts
express their fandom more
imaginatively than others.
Among them are the, people
who paint their faces and
other bare-able parts of their
anatomy with their team col-
ors and wear outlandish out-
fits to the.games. In fact, a
part of the Pro Football Hall of
Fame is a special wing named
the Hall of Fans, established in
1999 to honor the fans picked
in an essay contest to repre-
sent their team. (That's neat,
but I'd draw the line at wear-
ing a big wedge of cheese on
my. head while doing a fan
dance.)
Q.E.D.: The pigskin parade
is the most gripping, and
that's that. As one gridiron
guru has opined, "If future
historians look at our TV list-
ings for Thanksgiving Day,
they could easily come to the
conclusion that what we're
really thankful for is football."
But now, We've got football
withdrawal. By the time the
official flips the first coin, we
may have flipped our wigs.

In search of 'Hot Scots'
Identical twins
win contest, visit
castle in Scotland
to meet men
FROM STAFF
There are more than half a million,
single young-men in Scotland, and
27-year-old Lauren Spencer, a
Jacksonville Beach resident, is going
to meet the 20 hottest in their natural
habitat.
Spencer, 27, who won a three-day
trip to Scotland this week with her
identical twin sister, expects to meet
some of Scotland's most eligible bach-
elors.
She was one of more than 20,000
women who voted for a favorite Hot
Scot on www.dateahotscot.com,, a
promotional campaign website for
VisitScotland, the official arm of the
Scottish Tourist Board. During the
campaign, which ran from
Valentine's Day through March 31,
visitors were introduced to sexy
Scottsmen via photographs, personal
profiles and video interviews and
allowed to choose their favorite kilt-
clad hunk- thus entering themselves
in a sweepstakes to win a trip, along
with a lucky lady friend, to visit the
Hot Scots on their native soil. The
contest was open only to women.
One winner was drawn at random
from each of the six eligible countries:
USA, France, Germany, Netherlands,
Sweden and Spain.
Lauren Spencer, who received the
link in an e-mail from her sister,,
Kristen, thought the website was
cheeky and funny and happily cast
her vote.
The e-mail link was also sent to a
coworker of Lauren's. The coworker
won the trip and quickly asked
Lauren to accompany her before
realizing the dates of the trip conflict-
ed with the coworker's honeymoon.
Contest organizers agreed to Lauren
coming in her stead and she said it
was pretty easy to decide to ask her
sister along, since she had originally
alerted all to the contest. Doing-
things together is nothing new, as the
Spencer sisters, who attended Fletcher
High School and Florida State
Photo SUBMITTED
Lauren Spencer, left% and her identical twin sister Kristen will meet with
Scotland's most eligible bachelors this week as part of a prize package won
on-line.
University together, are also room,
mates.
"We're roommates so I really could-
n't go without her noticing," said
Lauren, who works for an advertising
and public relations firm. Kristen
works at Neptune Beach Baptist
Church.
The Spencers, representing the
United States, will join with repiesen-
tatives from the other countries for a
variety of activities, including recep-
tions, including one with the men
wearing kilts, Lauren said, acknowl-
edging the age-old undergarments
question and noting "I'll report back."
The four-day/ three-night trip will
-take the twins to Edinburgh, where
they can explore historical land-
marks, museums, and the under-
ground streets of Mary King's Close -
said to be the most haunted place in
Edinburgh -- and Glasgow, the largest
shopping centre in the UK outside of
London. Also included, a welcome
and farewell party during which the
ladies will get to meet all of their
favorite Hot Scots.
"I'm hoping I can get through this
trip without causing an international
incident," said Lauren. "Scottish
accents are an auditory version of
beer goggles, and these guys are
already dangerously good looking
with their mouths shut. It would cer-
tainly put a damper on the trip to be
drummed' up on kidnapping charges
for trying to sneak one home."
Although voting has ended and the
winners have been chosen from
www.DateaHotScotcom, which was
part of www.ToScotland.com.
Lauren cast her vote for Stuart
Duncan, a marketing and operations
* controller for XFM Scotland Radio
Station' with a slight Star Wars fixa-
tion. He came in 7th place with 1,458
votes, ahead of the reserved skipper
for the 2006 Olympic Curling team
and behind a water buffalo farmer.
Craig Irving, a 27-year-old business
development manager,, took top hon-
ors with 3,325 votes.

Holiday weekend meals
are Brazeau's specialty
phcico by CHUCKI ADAMS
Immersed in the pomp and circumstance of Nease High's graduation in the
University of North Florida arena are, above, Frankie Fuller (from left), salutatorian
Rick Cassidy, valedictorian Vyshak Chandler and senior class sponsor Lori Gallaher.
Among speakers at the Friday evening event was Bob Schiavone, who moved to a
St. Johns County School District job last summer after six years as Nease principal.
Schiavone's anecdotes, as well as comments from Chandra and Cassidy, provided
some of the evening's -lighter moments. The 391 seniors crossed the stage from right
and left to receive their diplomas and handshakes from administrators, as shown at
right with Chandra being greeted by Superintendent Joseph Joyner. At the end of the
ceremony, caps and streamers filled the air above the former Panthers, the vast
majority of whom will now head to college.
Johnson can t say
no to alma mater
by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCL4TE EDITOR
D"orothy Johnson is a pushover
when it comes to volunteering.
"I'm one of those people who can't say
no," Johnson, an 85-year-old Neptune
Beach resident, said..
"I'm trying to slow down, but they
won't let me."
They, meaning the University of North
Florida's Alumni Association.
They might also include the Beaches
Area Historical Society and the Friends of
the Beaches Library.
Johnson is a past board member of the
latter two organizations, tallying a dozen,
years on each. She's also a 30-year board
member of UNF's Alumni Association
who has attended nearly every important
event at the school, including 21
groundbreaking.
"I love my university," said Johnson,
who earned her first college degree from
UNF at age 54 and her second at age 62.
Army officer's wife
Johnson was a freshman at Agnes Scott
College in Decatur, Ga., when she met
Georgia Tech student Daniel Johnson.
She married young and never finished
college, raising seven children as the wife
of an Army artillery officer.
When her husband, a retired colonel,
suffered a stroke in the early 1970s,
Johnson's role as.a homemaker expanded
to include breadwinner.
"When you have children depending
on you and you know your husband is
dying, it's very frightening," Johnson
said.
"I knew I had to do something."
So the mother of seven went back to
school using her husband's G.I. benefits,
graduating in 1974 from UNF with a
bachelor's degree in English literature.
A month after she received her diplo-
ma, her husband of 34 years died at age
58. .
"He wasn't able to attend my gradua-
tion," recalled Johnson, who still lives in
the same house she and her husband
purchased in Neptune Beach in 1970.
After her :husband's funeral at
Arlington National Cemetery, Johnson'
found work teaching English as a second
language at Florida Community College
at lacksonville.
Her pay increased by $1 an hour when
she received her master's degree in allied
heath from UNF.
Osprey Club booster
Johrison taught junior 'college classes
for almost seven years until her children
were grown.'
She began volunteering with UNF's
Alumni Association in 1976 and has
been an active booster of the school's
"athletic program for the past 22 years.
"I love the students, the envoys partic-
ularly," said Johnson, who lived in Japan
and England while her husband was sta-
tioned overseas.
"I'm a big booster of UNF athletics
because you can't get into UNF as an ath-
lete. unless you have a high grade-point
average. The graduation percentage
among athletes is higher than the stu-
dent body average."
Two of Johnson's daughters graduated
from UNF with master's degrees. Her son,
Daniel, who earned a, law degree from
Emory University in Atlanta, has been
the U.S. Ambassador to Suriname for the
past six years.
"Between them, my children have
about 15 degrees," said Johnson, who
has nine grandchildren and four great-
grandchildren.
"When I make up my Christmas list, I
have 29 people, not counting in-laws.'
Johnson doesn't forget UNF at gift-giv-
ing time, either.
Over the past 30 years, she has made.
more than 100 donations to the univer-
sity.
And the school hasn't forgotten her
gifts nor her time and dedication.
In February, the UNF Alumni
Association established the. inaugural
Dorothy G. Johnson Medallion for out-
standing service.
The award isn't Johnson's only lasting
achievement at UNF.
Three years ago, she helped establish
an endowed scholarship in the College of
Education and Human Services.
The, Dorothy G. Johnson Family and
Friends endowment recently awarded its
first scholarship to a U.S. Marine major-
ing in education at UNF.
Johnson said the endowment is up to
$19,000 and as soon as it reaches
$25,000, the state will match it.
When she's not attending quarterly
meetings of the Alumni 'Association,
Johnson finds ways to help out other
organizations such as\attending meetings
of the Friends of the Library or volun-
teering with the Beaches Area Historical
Society.
A back page ad in a UNF magazine
recently caught her attention.
The ad said that if 1,000 people visit a
UNF graduate's Web site, the graduate,
Kurtis Loftis of Jaqksonville Beach, will
donate $1,000 to the new Beaches
Museum & History Center.
Said Johnson, a charter member of the
Historical Society: "I better do that,
shouldn't I?"

COLUMNIST
M arguerite Brazeau
loves to cook and
entertain.
Every year she looks for-
ward to having relatives and
friends visit on Memorial Day
weekend and on the Fourth
of July holiday.
It's not unusual for Brazeau
and her husband, Roy, to
have' 25 to 30 family mem-
bers staying at their West
Beaches home.
Some family members
come from as far away as
Chicago. The Brazeau's yard
overlooks a canal leading to
the Intracoastal, so its not
unusual, Brazeau said, to
have a couple tents set up in
the yard and sleeping bags
covering their family room.
The couple also have a
pool, plenty of shaded decks
and a boat dock.
Cooking for a houseful of
guests is a challenge for
Brazeau, worked for a caterer
in college, where she learned
to cook in quantity.
She said organization is the
key to preparing multiple
meals for overnight guests.
She routinely organizes
menus, table diagrams, and
other helpful information in
an album she has labeled
"Bon Apetit."
The album allows her to
keep a record of what worked
well and what she wants to
adapt for future holidays and'
parties.
Breakfast for the children,
mostly cereal, is the first
order of the day on holiday
weekends.
Adult guests are served a
full breakfast of eggs, bacon
or sausage. ,
Lunch is informal, usually.
heavy hors d' oeuvres or
sandwiches.
She always begins the din-
ner meal with an Artichoke
Cheese Dip along with raw
veggies, cheese and crackers.
A selection of cold salads
are also prepared, including'
an extra large,bowl of Taco
Salad, Asian Cole Slaw, and
something Brazeau calls
"That Good Salad."
The later salad is a combi-
nation of vegetables in a
sweet vinegar dressing.
Along with the salads,
Brazeau serves deviled eggs
and other sides. She enlists
the help of one of the men to
grill hot dogs, hamburgers, or
chicken legs for the children.
Having previously lived in
Annapolis, Md., Brazeau likes
to include a couple seafood
dishes for dinner.
She uses 6 pounds of fish,
shrimp, and crabmeat to
make a large pot of Seafood
Gumbo. The gumbo can be
made with the traditional
seafoods, and with whatever
is fresh and available.
She also makes her own
recipe for "She Crab Soup," a
Maryland delicacy, serving it
in a crock pot so everyone
can help themselves.
Brazeau first tasted "She
Crab Suup" at a restaurant on
Kent Island just over the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge near
Annapolis.
After experimenting several
times, Brazeau says she is
pleased with her own version
.of the creamy, rich soup.
For dessert Brazeau serves
Death by Chocolate Cake
along with ice cream.
"Everyone is usually so full
from dinner that all we need
is a really a little taste of.
something sweet," she said.
The following are recipes that
Marguerite Brazeau serves her
family for a summer holiday
weekend.
Artichoke Cheese.
Dip
1 cup mayonnaise
2 cans artichokes
2 cups shredded mozzarella
cheese
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 cup Parmesan cheese
paprika
Drain artichokes reserving,
3 to 4 T juice. Cut artichokes
into quarters.
Mix all ingredients together
prior to adding artichokes.
Use reserved juice as needed
to blend everything together.
Sprinkle top with paprika.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20
to 30 minutes until golden
and bubbly. Serve with crack-
ers.
Taco Salad
1 head of lettuce, washed
and broken into pieces
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1' large Spanish onion,
chopped
1 can (15 oz.) dark red kid-
ney beans, rinsed and drained
1 8 oz. pkg. Shredded taco
cheese

lege but graduated at the top of his class.

youngest tenured-earning professor ever
hired to teach at the University of West
Florida.

doctor, is a holistic physician and a
weight-loss coach.

mind-body approach to healthy weight
management. She co-hosts a radio show,
"Powerful Living," which provides lis-
teners with cutting-edge information on
natural and holistic life solutions.

nutritional therapist who provides coun-
seling and education courses at the

Panthers football potent in spring debut
By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
Rising junior Ted Stachitas,
dubbed by head coach Craig
Howard "Excite us Stachitas,"
completed his first 10 passes en
route to a 49-0 trouncing of
DeLand last Thursday night.
For his evening at Spec Martin
Memorial Stadium, Stachitas
connected on 13-of-16 passes,
good for 188 yards, and rushed
for 51 more. He ran for two TDs
and threw for three.
Last year, Stachitas was 17-for-
20 passing for 269 yards, and
ran for 55 more, as Nease edged
DeLand 39-33 when the
Bulldogs came north for the
Panthers' spring game.
At 5:42 of the first quarter,
Stachitas ran right for the
game's first TD. He then swept
left at 4:44 for a six-pointer set
up by Al Della Porta's recovery
of a DeLand fumble at the
Bulldogs' 25 and return to the
15.
Zack Cooper, last year's
punter working this spring as
the Panthers' placekicker, added
both extra points.
Zach Tronti scored with two
minutes left in the first quarter
to lift the margin to 20-0.
Cooper converted.
Stachitas connected with
Ryan Lawson from five yards
out at 9:04 of the second period
to make the score, with the
extra point, 28-0, then hit
Quinton Huggins in the end
zone for a 12-yard TD at 4:35.
Linebacker Jared McNauaght
returned a recovered fumble
from the 24-yard line 22 sec-
onds later to complete first-half
scoring.
At 8:45 of the third quarter,
Stachitas hit Collins Lee, who
transferred to Nease from
Providence last year, with a 15-
yard TD that completed game
scoring: Rising sophomore Kam
Fasnacht finished the game -at
quarterback.

Ted Stachitas scores Nease's second touchdown last Thursday at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium

when Tim Tebow was out with

team's effort.
"Everyone stepped up. We

the game. "I got face masked.
My helmet came down, just
scratched my eye."
The quarterback "praised

"We moved Clyde from
defense to offense. His footwork
and his fundamentals tonight
were outstanding," said
Howard. "That's a big offensive
line we've got. I was really
pleased with them.."
Stachitas said the convincing
win gives Nease something to
take forward through the sum-
mer.
"It's good motivation to keep
going, something to build on,"
he said, .noting there's work to
be done. "We just had a lot of
mental mistakes' in. the game.
together
We had a lot of penalties, and
we had a turnover. It's not how
Nease plays football. So we need
to work on our mental aspects
and focus."
Stachitas has taken over from
Tim Tebow, who helped lead
Nease to the 2005 Class 4A state
championship and enrolled at
Florida for the spring semester.
"You lose a Tebow, and here
comes Excite us Stachitas," said
Howard. "I real-
ly loved the
way he played
tonight."

Timpane said of his perform-
ance before he was hurt, "I just
tried to come out, keep up what
we started last season, keep up
that state championship men-
tality. Just play hard, fly around
the ball..
"We try to swarm, and even
the younger guys stepping up
on D-line today proved it does-
n't matter who we put in there,
we're going to make the tack-

"That swarming defense is
what. we want," emphasized
Howard, "and a fast-break,
down-the-field offense. We've
got a, tremendous,, amount of
improvement to:,lo, and now
we've got the summer program
and the off-season to do it in."
In addition to, losing Tebow,
who gPahthfirs. to the
regional-'.chm onip gme in
2004 and to Nease's first state
title last year, Howard has to
replace the Division-I-bound
linebacking triumvirate of
Hunter Haynes, Charlie
Kirschman and Mannie
Wellington.
"Anytime you lose guys, if
you've got a good program,
you're able to replace them,"
said Howard. "Our linebackers
have come up through our sys-
tem and our

Jared Mc-

Howard also
singled out the
Bates brothers,
Hunter at
defensive back
and the team's
punt returned,
S 49 and Graham at
IS 0 running back.
"A dynamic
duo there. One's on defense,
one's on offense. Both playing
their hearts out and doing well,"
said the Nease coach.
Howard's Bigger, Faster, Stronger
summer camp begins June 5.
"We've got about 14 days off,
then we start in the summer. We
expect to work extremely hard
over the summer to get better,"
he said.
Nease's next opponent will be
The Bolles School in an Aug. 17
kickoff classic, followed by its
season opener with Memphis
[Tenn.] University School Aug.
26 at the University of North
Florida.
"It'll be a quick summer," said
Howard.

"They're pretty positive I'm

against Mike Highsmith, the
beach volleyball legend who died
in a dirt bike accident in
Colorado in 1997, as well as oth-
ers who considered him a friend
and many who knew him only
'by reputation.
A total of 39 teams, including
some in the Legends divisions,
played Saturday on the 10 per-
manent courts adjacent to the
.ackson\ille Beach pier.
"It's going good," tournament
director Jay Miller said of this
year's Jacksonville Beach
Volleyball, now two events old.
"Things are improving as we go,
and we have a lot of big changes
coming on. The July tournament
is going to be filmed for Comcast.
"[It's] a lot of work, but I think
it's going to be worth it," said
Miller, who has run tournaments
for 20 years and has brought
Engle Homes, KISS FM and DX
Marketing aboard.
Next year will mark the 10th
annual Highsmith Memorial and
family members of the late vol-
leyball icon plan to host a party
for those who knew Mike.
"It's just unbelievable these
guys still want to get together just
to honor their buddy," said
Highsmith's mother, Francine
Scharf.
Susie Mashour, who, with sister
Terri finished runner-up in
Women's AA, started playing
beach volleyball just last summer.
She never knew Highsmith, but
certainly knows about him.
"He's a legend, was a great vol-
leyball player and everybody
appreciates him," said Mashour.
"That's why this is dedicated to
him."
Chad Poppel, winner of Men's
Open with Scott Perry, was com-
ing up when Highsmith was still
playing.
"I was kind of scrubby back
then, just learning the game. And
he was one of the better players
out here," Poppel said. "But he
would play with you and try to
help you out.
Some of Highsmith's contem-
poraries relish the event as a

chance to take to the sands once
again.
"It's good to come out here,"
said Terry Knight, runner-up in
Legends with Paul Bathen,
"because a lot of the guys who
don't play anymore, they're back
and playing. And a lot of these
guys are still good. Some of them
were A\T level at that point.
Rocky [Morsch] and Damon
[Gordon], they're good players.
"It's fun. They trash talk.
People come from out of town.
So it's different than other tour-
naments," added Knight.
Jim "Kooky" Carson, now liv-
ing in Chicago, where he's per-
forming at Second City and
Improve, also was one of the
Legends. He recalled playing his
first game of doubles with High-
smith.
"If he taught me one value, it
was set the ball to our team, not
the other team. And we started
winning games from that point,"
said Carson, who had been play-
ing volleyball for about two
months at that time. "If there was
one person who would teach you
the game, it was Mike."
Highsmith and Matt Tracy,
who coaches girls soccer at Bolles,
knew one another for seven
years.
"He and Wayne [MacDonald]
were the first people I played
against from Jacksonville, when I
lived in Daytona," said Tracy.
"They treated me so well, told me
what to do when I got up here,
who to meet, where to go. So we
became friends real quickly."
Jill Cox of Jacksonville Beach
knew Highsmith as a friend.
Normally a women's open player,
Cox played in the Legends divi-
sion since her partner, Robin
Mignerey, wasn't at the tourna-
ment
"It's not a coincidence that this
tournament is such a beautiful
weather-wise day," she said.
"Somebody's looking down on us
and smiling and laughing and
contacting help, if we need it. It's
definitely him here with us."
Cox worked with Highsmith
when he was tending bar.
"Mike was beautiful in so
many ways, inside and out. He
always was smiling. He could
make anybody he was around
feel comfortable."

Shocking injury to Barbaro among
saddest sports incidents in a while
T e story of the week hap-
pened last Saturday and it
1. had nothing to do with a
home run record. The shocking
injury to undefeated thorough-
bred Barbaro at the start of the
,Preakness rates with the saddest
sports incidents in a long time.
The Kentucky Derby winner
looked as close to a potential
Triple Crown winner as any
seen in a while. The big bay colt
was so anxious to get out and
run he actually broke the gate
on the eve of the start and had
to be reined'in by jockey Edgar
Prado.
It looked like nothing could
stop. Barbaro and nothing did
until after a few yards, his right
rear leg suddenly went lame.
-Even then the game crippled
horse kept trying to run on
three legs.
The record Pimlico crowd of
118,402 sat and stood numb
with disbelief. Barbaro's mount
was quick to jump off and bring
his .horse finally to a stop after
guiding him to a slowing halt.
Almost lost in the horror of it
was the rest of the, race, which
saw Bernardini out run his near-
est rival, Sweetnorthernsaint by
five and a half lengths,
Hemingway's Key finishing
third.
Under ordinary circum-
stances, the race finished more
exciting than the closeness of
the first and second horse
.
REX EDMONDSON
PRESS BOX
would show. It was one of the
most bizarre finishes in
Pimlico's 130 years of great.
thoroughbred competition.
An odds-on favorite, Barbaro
was thought to be the best
chance. of winning the Triple
Crown, which has eluded rac-
ing since Lou Wolfson's Affirm-
ed turned the trick in 1978.
Barbaro, who went off at almost
even odds, had won the
Kentucky t)erby by six lengths,
which had a lot to do with the
smaller field at Pimlico.
This was a race that had plen-
ty of side interests. If Barbaro
won in Maryland he would be
No. 1 favorite for the Belmont
Stakes in three weeks.
No less than New York'
Yankees owner George
Steinbrenner had an entry in
this one and while skeptics fig-
ured that was just a showoff, it
turned out to be a real "show"
since King George's Heming-
way's Key finished third.
Who knows what effect
Barbaro's loss had on the other
entries?
The injury ended Barbaro's
career and. maybe his life,
which is the saddest thing of
all.
Losing a thoroughbred for
racing is bad, enough, losing
him for stud is even worse, for
that means the money will not
be coming in.
The sight of Barbaro hobbling
on one leg on the track was
heart-breaking. We've seen
football players hauled off the
field with apparent serious
injuries, baseball players as well,
and basketball players who
have hit the floor head first that
chills the blood.
But a horse, limited in knowl-
edge of what has happened to
him, is even worse.
The hope is that doctors can
save Barbaro; he seemed to sur-
vive his surgery but only time
will tell.
It took a lot away from win-
ner Bernardini, a stained victor
in only his fourth race.
Covering the races sometimes
makes you feel good. A horse
never says he won't talk to the
media or calls you a racist.
That's why they're superior to
the two legged variety of big
money athletes.
Meanwhile, back at the zoo,
three players, including the
Jaguars' recently drafted runner
Maurice Drew, are charged with
assault in the beating of a man
at a restaurant allegedly because
he was using a laptop computer.
They must have thought he was
a sportswriter.
Strike one on Maurice Drew, a
lad we were beginning to like.
He says he didn't do anything.
If that's so, then strike two. He's
supposed to be fast, but he did-
n't get away.
Before the college-pro draft.
Coach Jack Del Rio and Coach
James Harris told the media
they were going to look for
character. Obviously they
found one in Maurice, Drew.
This was the week for shocks.
Jacksonville's old favorite JU
Dolphin star, Artis Gilmore, was
arrested and charged with DUI
after wrecking his car off the
road. Luckily he wasn't killed.
Shame, Artis (an old friend).
Those root beers can get to you
late at night
Congrats to Bobby Bowden,
the.sire of Florida State, Charlie
Ward (who kept him in busi-
ness years ago) and Emmitt
Smith, holder of multiple
records at, Florida, for making
the College Football Hall of
Fame. We thought Uncle Bobby
was in that years ago. In fact, we
thought he must have started it,
along- with Alonzo Stagg and
Pudge Hefflefinger.
