Roscoe cellular tower denied


by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The St. Johns County
Planning and Zoning Agency
(PZA) unanimously denied
Thursday an application to
build a 155-foot cellular tower
in Palm Valley after hearing
from neighbors in all direc-
tions who oppose it.
About 10 residents argued
that the tower, which was pro-
posed on the property of Lord


of Life Lutheran Church on
Roscoe Boulevard, wouldn't be
compatible in the largely resi-
dential area and might reduce
property values.
"Putting a cell tower there I
don't think is 'do unto others'
or 'love thy neighbor,' said
Mary Kohnke, a former
County Commissioner and a
Roscoe Boulevard resident who
lves within 300 feet of the pro-
posed tower.
Representatives of


Verticality, the company that
proposed the tower, said the
tower was to be located as far
east on the property as possible
so that it would hidden from
view of Roscoe Boulevard resi-
dents to the west.
The church's property is bor-
dered on the east by TPC
Valley golf course. Residents of
homes along the golf course
told PZA members they don't
want to see the tower, either.
But Verticality representa-


tives argued that the need for
better cellular coverage in the
Palm Valley area should far
outweigh the complaints that
the monopole tower would be
seen from neighboring homes.
"I believe that having a cell
phone saves lives," said
Verticality president William
Rand, pointing out that poor
coverage in the area may pre-
vent someone who is having a
heart attack on the golf course
from getting emergency help.


Rand presented diagrams
showing that Verizon Wireless
customers in the area of Palm
Valley have little or no recep-
tion.
Bruce Bowman, a Verizon
customer that lives in the area,
said his reception is just fine.
Rand said other existing tow-
ers were examined to see if an
antenna could be placed there,
including one owned by
Jacksonville Beach Utilities.
According to Rand, the utili-


ty company refused to allow
Verizon to place an antenna on
that tower because it could
interfere with future plans.
A similar 150-foot tower was
proposed on the church prop-
erty in 1993, when the land
had a different owner. That
tower proposal was denied,
according to St. Johns County
zoning manager Rosemary
Yeoman.

Beachcombers


beware: Sand


holds lots of trash


by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
When you go for a walk on
the beach, Ponte Vedra sen-
iors were advised Thursday, be
prepared to find just about
anything.
"I wear shoes now at the
beach," Chris Benjamin, St.
Johns County's environmen-
tal coordinator, told guests at
the Palm Valley Senior Center.
"I learned that on the New
Jersey beaches."
Reaching into two large,
plastic, opaque containers
and pulling out items one at a
time, Benjamin showed a col-
lection of things he has found
on his regular strolls on the
sands of St. Johns County.
There were clear plastic
containers of bottle caps, bal-
loon parts, plastic straws, bat-
teries, butane lighters and cig-
arette butts.
"Fiftv-seven percent of
everything that's out there -
quantitatively is a cigarette
butt," Benjamin said, bring-
ing responses of "Oh, my
gosh" and "Oh, my good-
ness" from the audience of
more than two dozen seniors.
There were toys, tools, a
dummy military shell, corks
from fishermen's netting, a
beach-ball-size wad of plastic
six-pack holders, an alien
mask and two paperback
books.
"I found this book, too, but
I'm afraid to use it," Benjamin
said, showing the cover of
"Stupid Government Tricks."
With his quick delivery
matched by' a quick wit,
Benjamin commented on the
items he showed and specu-
lated on how they may have
ended up on the beach, often
bringing laughter from the
audience.


"Now, come on," he said,
holding up a container of
thermometers. "It's hot at the
beach do we really have to
know how hot it is?"
Holding a license tag, he
asked, "If you drive on the
beach, why would you leave
your license plate there?"
Benjamin, who said he has
been walking the beaches of
St. Johns County since 1981,
also showed representations
or examples of things that
make it to the beach at the
hands of natutie.
Among thin wfef e numet-
6us shells, a plastic rat-
tlesnake, a cloth skate also
known as a ray and a plas-
tic sea turtle.
Don't touch any sea turtles
spotted on the beach,
Benjamin said, advising the
seniors to call the Sheriff's
Office if they see an adult tur-
tle in distress or a hatchling
"going in the wrong direc-
tion."
When he held up bones
from birds and some audience
members murmured,
"Ohhhh," Benjamin said,
"Those things happen. Birds
live and die just like every-
body does."
"When you go out there,
you need to be prepared for
everything," he said. "We've
actually found body parts -
from a burial at sea."
Benjamin said seniors can
pick up some harmless trash
when they stroll the beach
but advised against collecting
hazardous items.
"The really bad stuff -
we'll come along and we'll
clean it up," he said.
Benjamin said a July 5
beach cleanup is planned to
remove firecrackers and other
debris from July 4th revelers.

STAFF WRITER
Tyler Haertlein was elected
Nease High School's new
Senior Class president last
month.
But .that title has melted
away in the summer heat and a
new one has emerged in its
place: hero.
Last week, in his first job as a
lifeguard, tie hellpd revive a 4.
year-old girl after she nearly
drowned in a pool at the Ponte
Vedra Inn & Club.
In an interview at the club
Thursday, the Ponte Vedra resi-
dent recalled his first thought
when he saw the little girl
lying face down in the pool
May 25: "Just get her out of the
pool."
Haertlein said he dove into
the water with the girl's father
and immediately pulled her
out.
According to St. Johns
County Fire Rescue, the girl,
who was visiting with her fam-
ily from Connecticut, was
under the water for no longer
than one minute.
Four more minutes under
and she would have suffered
brain damage, according to
Eric Hellstrom, the club's
aquatics supervisor, who also

Palmer Course Design leaving Ponte Vedra


by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
Palmer Course Design, a
business that began when Hall
of Fame golfer Arnold Palmer
'and golf course architect Ed
Seay joined forces in 1971, is
closing up shop in Ponte
Vedra Beach, where it's been
since 1985.
The business is leaving the
office Seay built at 542 Ponte
Vedra Blvd. and is moving to
Bay Hill Club and Lodge in
Orlando. Bay Hill is Palmer's
winter-and-spring home club
and residence. He lives in his
boyhood home of Latrobe, Pa.,
the rest of the year.
The move is effective Oct. 1,
and the employees of Palmer
Course Design have been
given the option of relocating
to Orlando.
The company's name will be
changed to Arnold Palmer
Course Design Co., with
Palmer, 76, taking a more
active role and Sea, 68, leav-
ing his job as president and


becoming a consultant.
Palmer said in a news release
he intends "to be more in
charge of the company and
personally get more involved
in the designing." He also will
plan all other aspects of a
country club, as well, accord-
ing to the release.
"For the company, it's the
right move," said Seay, who
has had health problems for
some time.
"Arnold wants to get more
involved and be more active.
He's cutting back, not going to
have the huge staff we've had
for so many years.
"My first personal thought is
I'm going to miss the day-to-
day with the guys," Seay
added. "Because my health has
,been so [bad], I just can't do
what I used to do, travel and
watch golf for 35 years. I'm
just going to miss all the
troops."
Palmer was high in his
praise for Seay in the news
release.


"Ed has been my
lead man in the 4l .
business, and I con-
sider him to be one
of the greatest archi-
tects of all time. He
has done a fantastic
job for us," said
Palmer. "Now, with
Ed as my consult-
ant, I will continue
to turn to him for
advice on all phases
of our company
operations."
Nearly 300 golf
courses in 38 states Ed
and 23 countries
bear the mark of Palmer
Course Design.
Ponte Vedra Beach courses,
designed or remodeled by
Palmer Design include The
Plantation, Sawgrass Country
Club, Marsh Landing Country
Club and Oak Bridge Club,
now Ponte Vedra Golf &
Country. Club at Sawgrass.
Other Jacksonville-area
designs include the King &


I Bear at World
Golf Village in
central St. Johns
County and the
Golf Club at
North Hampton
in Fernandina
Beach.
Seay, a past
president of the
American Society
of Golf Course
Architects
(ASCGA), began
his career in 1964
as an associate to
Seay golf course archi-
tect Ellis Maples.
Since then, he has been
involved in the design and
construction of more than 350
courses worldwide.
Earlier this year the
University of Florida graduate
received the Distinguished
Service Award from the
ASGCA's boaid of governors at
the organization's 60th annual
meeting in Pinehurst, N.C.

Continued from A-, M -' \ C -.


Though no one in the meet-
ing Thursday could pinpoint
the reason that proposal was
denied, Kohnke told PZA
members that it was primarily
because residents "went nuts."
Kohnke said a crane of simi-
lar height was moved on the
property to show residents
how visible the tower would be
if built.
After seeing the crane, resi-
dents vehemently opposed the
tower because it would have
been highly visible, Kohnke
said.
Questions of falling property
values were also circulated in
Thursday's meeting.
Bob Berwanger, owner of
three properties directly across
Roscoe Boulevard from the
church, estimated that his
properties would fall in value
by about $300,000.
Assistant County Attorney
Patrick McCormack said he
didn't think any "expert testi-
mony" had been presented for
the PZA's consideration.
But one PZA member said
that while a cell tower may not
lower the assessed value of a
home, it would certainly
reduce the value from a practi-
cal standpoint as the owners
try to sell the home.
Regardless, the PZA members
needed no such expert testimo-
ny and agreed that the tower
would be incompatible with
the neighborhood.

The Leader's Opinion


Now is the time to


speak on SJ charter

There is a serious proposal in the works to convert St.
Johns County to a charter form of government. The
group of citizens working on the proposal has released a
draft charter and is now seeking feedback from county
officials and voters. After the document is refined, the
state legislature will be asked to authorize a referendum
for voters to approve or reject the charter.
Seventeen Florida counties, most in urban or high-
growth areas, have adopted charters to provide the con-
trol for the way they operate. St Johns County currently
operates under the rules and regulations laid out by state
law for non-charter counties.
Since the charter committee has asked for feedback, we
will offer some. By the way, the entire draft of the pro-
posed charter is available on our Web site. We encourage
you to offer your own feedback.
For starters, the proposed charter continues the current
practice of electing all five county commissioners coun-
tywide. While each commissioner must live in one of the
five districts, all voters in the county get to vote for any
commissioner. This gave rise to the current situation that
has Ponte Vedra Beach represented by a commissioner
who was defeated in Ponte Vedra Beach but won in the
-rest of the county. It seems unfair that a district cannot
decide who it wants for its representative on the County
Commission.
We believe Commissioner Ben Rich's proposal to have
one commissioner elected by voters in each of the five
districts and two commissioners elected by the entire
county will provide much better representation and bet-
ter government. County Commissioners voted in March
to put this question on this November's ballot.
Another section of the proposed charter that we
believe needs refinement deals with charter amend-
ments. Amendments proposed by the Charter Review
Commission appointed every 10 yearsT require the
approval of two thirds of charter commission members
in order to be placed on the ballot for citizen approval.
In addition, any proposed charter amendment must have
been considered at two properly noticed public hearings.
These are appropriately cautious requirements. A good
charter should be amendable, but not too easily.
Unfortunately, amendments placed on the ballot by
the County' Commission or by citizen initiative do not
have the same safeguards. A simple majority of the com-
mission can place an amendment before the voters and
any citizen can get a charter amendment on the ballot by
getting signatures of 8 percent of the number of people
who voted in the last presidential election. A charter that
is too easily amended gets cluttered with rules that are
inappropriate for a charter (see the pregnant pig clause in
the state constitution).
Finally, the charter proposed by the committee is too
detailed in its requirements for the county executive.
Specific education, including the exact field of study and
the degree required, as well as specific experience require-
ments, are details that do not belong in the charter.
.'These-detailsi.should be left to the County. Commnis'ion,'_
* Cbrffifmitteeembers who' Have prod-uced thi dractfifFt-f
a county charter deserve our gratitude. They have worked
many hours to get to this point. Now it is time for the
rest of us to carefully review the document and speak up.

Wal-Mart is 'predatorial'


To the editor:
I have been in the retail
business for 20 years. Over
that period I have personally
witnessed Wal-Mart's predato-
rial approach to extinguishing
local competition some of
you may remember shopping
in Pic-N-Save Stores here in
Jacksonville). When \Val-Mart
moves into a community the
small business' suffer and
many of them simply do not
make it. If WVal-Mart is
allowed to move into
Neptune Beach, not only will
K-Mart and \Vinn Dixie go
away, we risk losing surf shops
such as Aqua East, optical


shops, boutiques and other
small local retailers that are
the essential to the character
and environment of our
beach community.
Relative to increased traffic,
I urge the citizens of Neptune
Beach and Atlantic Beach to
drive their car on third street
thru Jacksonville Beach dur-
ing any event at the beach.
The traffic is out of control.
Dare try to ride a bike or
scooter, it is simply too dan-
gerous. This experience will
emulate to Neptune Beach
and Atlantic Beach if Wal-
Mart moves in.
[ urge the citizens of our


beach community to read Bill
Quinn's book 'How i'alAlart is
Destroying America (and the
world) And 'What You Can Do
About It'. This book will help
enlighten everyone on- the
negative effect that WVal-Mart
has had in other communities
like ours. Quinn's book will
enlighten our citizens that
Wal-Mart is not always who
they say they are. Citizens be
aware that their attorney's
statements in The Leader sim-
ply are not what WVal-Mart
will bring us tomorrow.

Proud of children in the military


To the editor:
;.,, l-*_ ,! 1.' HC '"' eg n
, name .is Pegine
tEclievaria and I am a mother
of two children. I have a
daughter (17) and a son il9i.
One is in the National Guard
and the other is in the Army.
We are not a military family
and have had no previous
experience With the military.
My son joined two years ago
and I began a journey that
was unlike any I've ever been
on.
I did not want him to be a
soldier. I wanted him to stay
with me, close to me so I
could protect him and watch
over him. 1 love him and
have always been there to
guide him and protect him. I
saw the TV shows and read
the paper I knew what was
going on and I didn't want
him to bea part of it.
He called the recruiter and
spoke to her. The recruiter
wanted to come over, I told
her no. My son set up an
appointment. "He's growing
up, taking charge of his life" I
thought "but he is not
becoming a soldier." My hus-
band and I went to the meet-
ing with my son. We asked
tough questions, we argued
and we didn't believe what we
heard. When we came home I
set out to prove that I was
right "this is not a good
choice for him!" .
I spoke alright, interrogat-
ed) every vet and soldier I
could find. I stopped every
person I saw in uniform and
* asked about their life and
experience. I called on friends
in Human Resources and
asked their thoughts about
the military, specifically
regarding the Army and,
National Guard. and the ben-
efits and deterrents of a mili-
tary background in the world
of work. What I learned
changed me, my husband and
our perspective. "'
I learned the people who
serve in the military love
what they do. That they are
given opportunities to grow,
to lead and to learn that I
knew my son would never
receive in the civilian world as
a young man (he was a bagger
of groceries for several years,
but was never put in charge of
anything). I learned that
they found friends and rela-


tionships that bonded them
,o,eacld.other.in awav' w
he would never find in corpo-
rate America or on a college
campus. I learned the he
would learn that he is capable
of doing whatever is put in
front of him and that the
experience of pushing himself
beyond what he could ever
imagined would transform
him and make him stronger,
capable, responsible and con-
fident.
I also learned to confront
myself and acknowledge that
I was a barrier. I wasn't willing
to let him grow or move on.
That I didn't trust all the les-
sons [ had taught him and all
the love that I gave him. I
didn't trust that he could
meet the challenges or that he
would be safe.
The last statement trust-
ing that he would be safe -
was the hardest one for me to
confront. How could I say I
wanted to keep him safe and
protected from bad things if I
let him. drive? Why was it
okay for me to let him drive a
car? During his high school
career five teenagers died
from car accidents (that is
.0125 percent. According to
World Health
Organization/World Bank
report and the specific section
on the United States "The
death toll on our highways
makes driving the number
one cause of death and injury
for young people ages 5 to 27.
The staggering loss of life and
the incidence of life-threaten-
ing injuries occurring each
year is best described as a pub-
lic health crisis."
Yet hisc chances of being
hurt or killed in the military
were very slim. Of all the kids
who are serving in the mili-
'tary from school not has been
killed. Of the 1.4 million peo-
ple serving in the military 'a
small percentage 0.00164 per-
cent (2300) was killed since
the war began. I had to face
myself and acknowledge that'
I was using my fears and mis-
conceptions as barriers and
that I was holding him back
from succeeding, I needed to
step aside. We supported his
decision and signed the
papers.
The Transformational-
Change, in the two years that

and woman give him guid-
ance, confidence and moti-
vate him to be more than he
has been and to take on chal-
lenges. To our shock he has
decided to not only complete
college but become an officer!
This is a miracle.

work. I don't have to take
care of him. He calls to follow
up on his doctor's appoint-
ments and his college needs.
Just last week he called the
bank to question a charge he
would NEVER have done that
before.
4. He is happy. He wears his
uniform and you can see him
smile and be happy.
After seeing Kenneth and
learning what the Army could
offer her as a career, my
daughter decided to apply
and has received an ROTC
scholarship. I never imagined
my daughter doing this. More
importantly, I never imagined
myself allowing her to do this..
I've met so many women
who are setting or who have
served in the Army and
National Guard. They don't
lose their femininity; they
gain, confidence, leadership
and a sense of self. They take
on responsibilities and
leadership roles that I could,
not have dealt with at their
age. .
The other benefit that we
have seen is how people hold
our kids in high regard. They
are seen as unique and
leaders. People continually
acknowledge them, *and
applaud them. They are
valued and are appreciated.
I am really proud of them
and what they have achieved.
I hope you give your daughter
or son the opportunity to
learn whether the Army or'
Guard is right for them.

Back yard


a'bit of


heaven'


'Can you spare five min-
utes to. come see my back
yard?" Susan, a new friend,
.asked when Ldropped by her
house to pick up some
paperwork for a project I'd
been working on. Though
pressed for time and anxious
to look over the material
Susan had given me, some-
thing compelled me to stay
put for a little while."
"Oh sure. Why not?" I said
while crawling out of my
messy car.
Susan's front lawn was
much smaller and more
plain than I thought it
would be. Since she was a
leader in the local garden
club, I thought the young
grandmother's yard would
be a sea of organized colored.
It came as a surprise when
Susan only had two tiled
concrete benches and a
smattering of potted plants
dotting the front of her
immaculate property.
As soon as I passed
through the property's side
gate, I saw why. Susan had
saved everything for her
back yard bit of heaven.
"This is," I blurted while
catching my breath, "amaz-
ing. It's stunning."'
It was. The entire half acre
was outlined in a thick forest
^green. hedge thpt wasi well
')pve .. eight e,et.iligh.. .4,
s. prowling oak tree .stood in- a
carpet of spring green fern
while decks, swings, picnic
tables, fountains, statues,
bird baths and a rainbow
colored side garden targeted
to welcome wildlife, gave the
cottage looking yard the feel-
ing of being an outside
room. It seemed like I was
standing in the middle of a
"Better Homes and Gardens"
photograph.
"It's taken a few years to
get it how I wanted it," Susan
said. "But now there is no
where on earth I'd rather
spend time than right out
here with my dogs."
Violet and Muffin, a 70-
pound greyhound and a 7-
pound Yorkie, both rescues
that would have been eutha-
nized if not for their human
"mom", seemed overjoyed to
hang out as well.
As Susan and I strolled
from one end of her outdoor
retreat to the other, life
began to feel slightly
slower., By the time my
friend and I plopped in
wooden swings near a trick-
ling fountain, I was ready to
camp out.
"This is so soothing," I
said. "Wish I had time for a
place like this each day."
"Make time. I did," Susan
replied before telling me
how, at age.45, she gave up a
corporate position for a
chance to spend more time
with the people, and in the
places, she loved. ,
"When my father .ended
up spending the last six
months of his life in a
nursing home, I visited every
day," Susan explained. "It
changed my perspective on a
lot of things. I knew that if I
didn't do something drastic,
I, was going to miss out on
the essence of life."
Susan said she cut back to
part time, made lots less
money, and had far fewer
material perks. She also
became much more relaxed
and joyful.
"Paring life back to the
basics did wonders for my
marriage," Susan said. "I
realize that everyone can't
do what I did, but I also
know that no amount of
money could buy what we
have now. Giving upa hectic
lifestyle and extra stuff was
the right choice for us."
A choice, I thought while
hurrying on to work, that
may be worth some serious,
consideration.

Commission needs to stay focused


To the editor:
Recently the "movement", in
Atlantic Beach to "Save" the
town has become very interest-
ing. The make up of the leaders
of the movement as listed on
their website is suspect at best.
Involved are no less than
three- architects, two realtors,
two developers, one contractor
and a couple that recently built
a "McMansion" on a postage
stamp lot. Would it be fair to
say they all have a financial
interest in maintaining the sta-
tus quo?
They can afford to mount a
slick campaign to
preserve their interest,
The petition listed on the
website has many flaws, and as,
a legal document would not be
allowed as there are no less


than 50 signatures that do not
have Atlantic Beach addresses.
It implies the petition's,
originators obtained as many
signatures as possible to show a
large number. The number of
signatures is less than 7 percent
of the population.
Unfortunately, the original
focus of the citizens that
brought the overbuilding prob-
lems to the city have been
ignored. The projects built on
2nd St. that have two very large
boxes with 35 foot high walls
7.5 feet from the property lines
were the examples used by
these citizens.
They block the seabreeze and'
they place the adjacent proper-
ties in the shadows of the
morning and evening sun.
The city commission needs,


to stay focused on the original
problems as expressed by the
homeowners .in the core city
and move to keep the area from
being over built.
Mayor Wolfson did not cre-
ate the Winter report. The'
report was funded and
approved by the Meserve com-
mission. The commission has
not voted on any parts of it to
date.
It has been difficult to sepa-
rate the facts from fiction. As a
responsible property owner I
urge my fellow citizens to
w e i g h
the issues carefully.- Zoning
laws do protect your
property and can be beneficial
to all.

Leave character of Third Street alone


To the editor:
As a resident of Pine Street in
Neptune Beach, I must respond
to a recent letter by my neigh-
bor Del Baker concerning a few
scrawny plants at the intersec-
tion of First and Pine streets
impairing his 86-year-old
mother's driving abilities.
Del's mother is one of the
nicest people you'll ever meet
and if she genuinely has prob-
lems at this intersection, I have
to wonder if she has the same
problem in other parts of the
city.
For example, does she have
problems exiting Pine Street
onto Third Street, where
Neptune Beach just spent thou-
sands to landscape the medi-
ans? Does she find sight lines
blocked at intersections in
Jacksonville Beach? Do parked
cars on First Street cause con-.
cerns for her? What Del neg-
lected-to' mention is that this is
just the latest skirmish in ,a
long-simmering' feud among
various neighbors on Pine
Street that has included street-
lights, frog ponds, security
lights, parking and errant
sprinklers. /
Del appeared 'before the
Neptune Beach City Council-
and, using the adult version of
a child's ratings, begin tossing
out the L-word lawsuit if
the bushes weren't removed.
Though I believe Del's con-
cerns are unfounded, he has
illuminated a much larger
problem: Neptune *Beach's
schizophrenic policies- regard-
ing public landscaping.
In Neptune Beach, overreac-
tion is the response we've come
to expect from our elected
officials and bureaucrats and
Del's bush bashing now has
taken an even more absurd
turn. i
Apparently, City Manager
Jim Jarboe ordered Police Chief
David Sembach to inspect
every intersection along
First Street to identify offend-
ing plants so the city could
begin clear-cutting the 20 prob--
lem spots Sembach reported.

4750 Palm Valley Road
Ponte Vedra Beach
904-285-1130,


It's becoming evident that
Jarboe lacks the acumen to
manage a child's lemonade
stand, much less a city. (The
Solantic debacle that cost tax-
payers thousands and the
inability to have trash collected
on a regular basis are just two
examples that come to mind,
but that's a different letter).
And if .the police chief doesn't
have anything better to do
than stakeout a bunch of nefar-
ious foliage,. then he should
turn in his badge and Neptune
Beach residents should open a
discussion on whether we
should continue to spend tax
money on a police department
that obviously has too much
time on its hands.
As I mentioned, Neptune
'Beach recently spent a couple
hundred thousand to land-
scape medians along Third
Street, a project that I believe
has drawn near-unanimous
praise. It's been so well-received
that residents are clamoring for
more medians to be
landscaped. But what's good for
Third Street appears unaccept-
able in other parts of the city.
In recent months Neptune
Beach has waged a bullying
campaign against oceanfront
homeowners who live adjacent
to street ends, threatening to
remove"landscaping at many
locations, while actually
butchering plants and bushes
at other spots. On Pine Street,
oceanfront homeowners John
Roberts and Todd Krohn have
spent hundreds of dollars and


man hours beautifying and
maintaining the street end, a
job the city abandoned years
ago. They, like many other
oceanfront homeowners in
Neptune Beach, have created a
welcoming access, not only for
residents, but for visitors to our
beach.
And what was the city's
response?
They approached Roberts
and threatened to cut down his
hedge. Why? Because city offi-
cials are terrified that
landscaping may create the
impression that this is a private
beach.
Now, they plan to expand
their search-and-destroy tactics
to First Street, which I guess
will make it much easier for
elderly drivers to navigate our
streets. It's time for Neptune
Beach to halt this madness.
Instead of turning First Street
into a wasteland, our elected
representatives should be work-
ing to create a park-like setting
along First Street.
Lately, there has been an out-
cry about a proposed Wal-Mart
destroying the charm and char-
acter of our city, and rightfully
so. But the enemy within -
Neptune Beach City Council
members and bureaucrats --
are the ones seemingly intent
on destroying the character
east of Third Street.
In other words, leave our
plants alone.

Dutch treat: Soccer players off to Holland


Beaches-based team also A

slated to attend World Cup ....


By ROBERT DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR

A group of 18 area high
school soccer players many
from the Beaches area--- will
depart next week for a 10-day
trip -to Holland which will
include a series of matches
against Dutch teams, training
sessions with Dutch national
coaches and a side trip to
Germany to take in a World
Cup game.
Organizing the trip, is
Fletcher High boys
soccer coach Mike
Levine and his
wife Barbara,
who Worked
out many of the
logistics.
"It's an excit-
ing trip and a
great oppbrtuni-
ty," said Mike
Levine, who facili-
tated similar trips to*
Ireland and Scotland
in 1984 and to Spain in
2001. "At this point we
really don't know what type'
of competition we'll be up
against but it's bound to be a
great experience for all of our
players.",
The team, dubbed Strand
F.C. (Strand is Dutch for
Beach), consists of 18 sopho-
mores and .juniors from the
area. Members include Alex
Schanen, Cabe Nolan, Aaron
Grundelson, Shawn Tracy,
Adam Duckworth, Aaron
Levine, Greg Mackey, Donald
Kruzena and Jason Tiemeier
from Fletcher High. Also, Filip


Ivanoff, Austin Davis and Joe
McKinley from Nease High.
Others include Mandarin's
Alex Gallagher, Jared Hoey
from Bishop Kenny, Michael
Pappas and Ryan Kelly from
Episcopal, and William Cobb
from Stanton Prep.
While Levine and his family
will depart next Tuesday for
Amsterdam, most team mem-
bers, and the 12 chaperones
along for the trip, are slated to
arrive in Holland two days
later.
The, excursion is costing
each player about
$2,000 but that
includes the
5 $200 price ofa
World Cup
soccer ticket.
"It was a
blind draw for
tickets but we
really lucked
out," said
Barbara Levine as
the team conduct-
.' ed its first formal
practice session
Wednesday. "We're,
going to see the U.S. play
the Czech Republic."
That game is scheduled for
Monday, June 12 in
Gelsenkircher, west central'
Germany. Barbara Levine said
it will be about a three-and-a-
half hour bus ride from where
the team is staying in the,
Netherlands.
"That's another great feature
of this trip," she said, "we'll
have a bus on stand-by 24
hours a day for our use. The
kids will be able to go sightsee-
ing or travel wherever we need

F.C. Strand players practice at the San Pablo Elementary School fields in Jacksonville Beach Wednesday afternoon in preparation
for next week's 10-day excursion to the Netherlands to play against Dutch teams. The team features a number of Beaches area
players and is coached by Fletcher High boys soccer coach Mike LeVine.

In addition to playing games
and watching the United
States' opening round game of
the World .Cup, Strand F.C.,


players will also benefit from a
pair of two-hour training ses-
sions by Dutch nationally-
licensed coaches.
"I think everyone's excited


about the trip and the oppor-
tunity it provides players to
face international competi-
tion," said Mike Levine. "Our.
players are all sophomores and


juniors and there's no doubt
the games, and training ses-.
sions will benefit them when
the regular season rolls around
next winter."


Can't understate significance of the World Cup


A en the game of soccer steps front and
/ center every four years to take its place
TV on the sporting world's main stage it
becomes more than just a game. One might say
that it is a way of life, but even that sort of
description sounds hackneyed and absurd.
After all, how can you put. into words some-
thing that stirs a person's blood and psyche to
such an extent? What causes the very being and
character of a country to become so galvanized?
Other than in wartime, when a people may be
fighting for survival, confronted by a common
enemy, what else can make them feel as deter-
mined and unified?
And -what other sport can bring people from
every comer of the, earth together in celebration
and appreciation of a heart-felt sport that .they
know so well and feel so passionate about?
There is only one: Soccer. Or as the rest of the
world calls it: Football.
For many it is more than a mere game, it is their
identity. National pride and honor are at stake
with every match result.
When a national team stands on the stage of
the world's biggest, most important soccer arena,
the World Cup, it represents more than just a geo-
graphical place. It stands: for its social classes, its
culture and even its political ideologies. For one
small moment the WVorld Cup embodies the,
recognition of a people, their dreams and aspira-
tions.
During the month that-the Cup is played bil-
lions of eyes are mesmerized by the drama. Soccer
is rightly called "the world's game" for no other


sport is as universal. nofim'o'- ii'Om .
It has also been -called the
"beautiful game" and that too is
what it is. For how many other
sports require all of its players to
be fit, fast, skillful, intelligent and
tactful?
In action, few other team sports
leave the player so completely to
his own devices. There is no third ..
base coach to say when to run, no
wired-up play-caller on the side-
lines, no caddie to make club
choices and advise how to hit the
next hole.
On June 9th, the world will
come to a near standstill as the BOB FE
Federation Internationale de' RUNNING
- Football Association (FIFA' World
Cup begins in Munich. In the first -
of what will be 64 games, the host 4
country, Germany, will play against Costa Rica.
Just getting into the World Cup field is .an
accomplishment in itself. Each country began its
difficult quest to qualify over a year ago.
Hundreds of countries fought hard to make the
Finals but only 32 did so.
SAnd those 32 are still a long way from "The
Final." The match between the luckiest two best
survivors ifor is it more by skill, determination or
sheer luck that the champion triumphs?) will not
take place until July 9th in Berlin.
Only one thing is certain: The.run up to, the
final will be a riveting, pulse-pounding, exciting
journey.


And what a run soccer has had! A
kickball game resembling soccer
showed up in China in the second
and third centuries B.C. during the
SHan Dynasty.
S. o The ancient Greeks and early
Romans played a soccer-like
."game" with as many as 27 players-
to a team. The matches were more
of a substitute for battle than they
were a game. It was a real no-holds-
barred affair and every foul play
was not only allowed but also
encouraged.
In the British Isles evidence of
soccer can be found as far back as
ERNEE the eighth century. One match
]/FITNESS took place using the head ofayan-'
quished Danish enemy as the ball.
England and Scotland founded
the modern' game of soccer. At
Eton College in 1815 the Cambridge Rules were
devised and by 1848 these rules had been adopt-
.ed by all universities and colleges. In 1863 the
Football Association (FA) was created. The game's
official name would be Association Football.
The curious moniker "soccer" does-have some
historical legitimacy. In the 1880s, students at
Oxford University created their own slang by
-shortening words and ending them with "er."
Rugby, for example, became Rugger. The "soc"
was lifted from Association and "er" was added.
The term soccer was bom and lives to this day,
'but mostly only in America.
In 1888, 12 dubs agreed to a home-away playing


schedule creating the English Football League.
Now known as the English Premier League, it is
telecast weekly to 163 countries, an audience of
550 million.
During the 2004/2005 season the world's most
famous team, Manchester United,'eamed $289.
million. Worth $1.2 billion, Man U is .soccer's
most valuable club.
In the 1920s, French football administrators,
led by Jules Rimet, had the idea of bringing the,.
world's strongest national football teams together
to play for a World Championship.
The first World Cup took place in Uruguay in
1930. The original solid gold Jules Rimet trophy
was mysteriously lost and never recovered.
-Although many believe it has long since been melt-
ed down, others continue the search for the elusive
.statue.
After three tournaments, the Cup was halted for
12 years due to the Second World War. Once it
was resumed it grew in popularity and. prestige
and soon became the world's greatest single sport-
ing event. A total of 28.8 billion viewers are said
to have watched the 2002 World Cup.
Since its: founding only seven countries have
won the World Cup: Brazil, Germany, Italy,
Argentina, England, Uruguay and France. Despite
the fact that there are many great teams in the
race for the Cup, only a handful have a realistic
chance of winning. .
But in every World Cup there are the mixers,
the up-setters, and the giant-killers. Which ones
can win it? Which ones can surprise and upset?
Next week we will take a look at the teams, the
players and'the odds.


Nease A.D. embarks on improvements


By CHUCK ADAMS
SPORTS WRITER
Not one to rest on his school's
laurels, Nease High athletic
director Ted Barbato has already
drafted a: to-do list of improve-
ments for next year..
The Panthers won state titles
in football and girls' soccer in
Barbato's first year at the helm,
but upgrades to. the Panther
Stadium playing surface, the
ability to host a track meet next
season and filling s6me coach-
ing vacancies top the athletic
director's list.
Improving outside facilities is
high on Barbato's list. The foot-,
ball/soccer/lacrosse field, torn
up by the amount of play it had
last year, is a case in point.
TPC at Sawgrass superintend-
ent Fred Klauk has looked at the
Nease High field and made
some recommendations.
"He said the field needs some
rest. In a high school situation,
that doesn't happen," said
Barbato, who added, "We've
been looking at trying to do a
turf deal [which was scrubbed at
a Tuesday meeting, where the'
decision was made to go with
natural grass]. That, and I want


to see attack meet here."
The last home track and field
meet for the Panthers was in the
spring of 2002. A new track was
laid inside the stadium three
years ago, but the school ran
out of money to upgrade field
facilities.



Here we have state
championship teams,
and what do our facilities
look like? Not like the
caliber of the athletes we
have playing on them.


Ted Barbato
Nease athletic director
Barbato has a master plan to
improve those facilities. It calls
for the high jump area to be
located inside the track, at the
west end of the grassy oval; the
pole vault runway and throw-
ing circle to stay where they are,


and the' long jump/triple jump
runway and pit to be beside the
visiting bleachers.
", I want to follow through and-
make sure that gets done," said
Barbato. "
The Nease fields have older.
irrigation systems.
"We plan to get an assess-
ment of the irrigation system
for all fields," said the Nease AD.
"Here we have state champi-
onship teams, and what do our
facilities look like? Not like the
caliber of athletes we have play-.
ing on them."
Nease athletic programs pro-
duced two state championships,
something Barbato became
accustomed to in New Jersey,
where he worked at Sparta High
for 34 years, the final 21 as ath-
letic director before retiring and
moving to Florida.
Sparta achieved 25 state titles
during Barbato's tenure. His first
year at Nease, after 18 months
in retirement, produced the
school's first state football title
and the third girls soccer crown
in the last five years.
Nease has two open coaching
positions, as well as a need for
some assistants. The head jobs


are boys soccer and girls soft-
ball. Barbato said he's in the
final stages of making a recom-
mendation for boys soccer after
a national search produced
more than 50 applicants,
including some from Europe.
"Hopefully we can have some
completion within a week," he
said.
.Barbato added that cross
country, with James Thomas in
place as one of its coaches,
needs some help.
"We'd love to have a female
coach, a positive role model for
the girls," said Barbato, who
advocates on-staff coaches.
"We've got some real good
outside people," he said of
adjunct coaches such as Dave
Silverberg, whose girls soccer
program is the gold standard at
Nease. "But for the athletes, to
have that contact with a person
during the day, is the best sce-
nario. If a student needs a little
support, that coach is there.
"For the most part, I'm very
impressed with the quality of
the coaching," said Barbato,
who makes it a practice to
spend time with each sport.
Barbato responded to those

who say Nease recruits.
"If you have an A-rated aca-
demic school, and you have an
excellent athletic program, par-
ents are going to seek out
opportunities for their chil-


dren," he said. "If they move
into the district, into our zone,
if they want to be a part of the
program, I'm all for it. I'm
proud people want to come to

Physical exams and screenings


are the keys to early detection


friend of mine was diag-
nosed with colon cancer.
This was,discovered after
he had a colonoscopy at his
wife's recommendation.
I was speaking with a mutual
friend a few days later, who
had heard the terrible news
and he asked me about what
screening tests a guy his age
should receive. He suggested
that this topic would also make
a good column. I hope this
helps you and everyone else
for that matter.
Starting at age 20 and
through your 30s, a general
physical exam is recommended
every two years. An exam of
your heart, lungs, and
abdomen would be performed.
It would also provide an
opportunity to take a look at
your blood pressure, your cho-
lesterol levels, and assess any
risk factors for diseases such as
smoking, diabetes, aand heart
disease.
Some diseases such as vari-
ous skin cancers and testicular
cancers are seen during this
decade and should be screened
as well.
For females, monthly self -
breast exams are recommend-
ed, with a physician directed
exam at least every other year.
If you are at high risk for breast
cancer, such as a strong fanilly
history, mammogram screen-
ings should be considered start-
ing at age 35. Pap smear stud-
ies should be done annually.
For those in their 40s, a gen-
eral exam should be performed
at least every two years, again

to monitor your blood pres-
sure, your cholesterol levels,
and evaluate you for diseases
such as smoking,.diabetes, high
cholesterol, and heart disease.
Breast exams should be done
at home monthly, but a physi-
cian should perform an exam
annually. Mammograms every
'1-2'years would be recom-
mended as well.
Skin screenings should also
should be a routine part of an
annual exam.. Rectalexams
should be performed as part of,
your routine physical exam as
well.
If you have a family history
of prostate cancer or are a
black male,. PSA blood tests
would begin now. If you are at,
high risk for colon cancer, a
colonoscopy should be per-
formed at least every three
years.
For those in their 50s and
older, again, a general physical
exam should now be per-


formed annually. Women
-should have an annual mam-
mogram.
Screenings for osteoporosis
are considered now, dependent
of risk factors such as
menopause and history of frac-
ture. r
As part of their annual physi-
cal exam, men should have an
digital rectal exam, and an
annual PSA test for prostate
cancer should be performed.
Stool screening to check for
any hint of blood, which can
be a sign of hidden cancer,
should be done every year as
well..
A flexible sigmoidoscope is.
recommended every 3-5 years,
and a colonoscopy should be
done every 10 years.
The most important part of:
all of this is that you need to
see your doctor. Too often I
speak to people who do not
have an established relation-
ship with a physician. Your
doctor is there to help you, but
he or she cannot help you if
you don't schedule an appoint-
ment.

It's not fat that's making


you fat; sugar is to blame


A nierica is fat because we
Shave too much fat in our
diet! It's as simple as
that or is it?
Throughout our lives we
have been 'led to believe that
there are certain foods that aie
good for us and others that are
not. Fat, trans-fat, saturated
fats, hydronated oils, blah,
'blah, blah, have been blamed
for the "fattening of America."
We eat at Micky D's too
much, deep fry too much, and
like our salad dressing thick.
By the way, don't even think of
depriving Americans of ice
cream!
; It's true you could make bet-
ter mealtime decisions than a,
quick burger and fries; however,
it's not the fat in those foods
that are killing us. It's the
SUGAR!
The sugar in the foods we eat
happens to be the root of all
evil and fat. .High sugar diets
lead to high cholesterol, high
blood pressure, hyperglycemia,
diabetes, heart disease and con-
tribute to almost every other
negative health issue you can
think of. Being educated and
informed about the health risks
involved in high sugar diets is
the best way to motivate you
into making a lifestyle change
and get off the sugar.,
Sugar is found in all foods
that people eat. The body
processes sugars differently
than non-sugary food. .
"Sugars" include not only ice
cream and snack cakes, but also
highly processed carbs like soda
and white bread. When the
body consumes sugar, there is
an ineffectiveness of insulin's
ability to convert carbs to ener-
gy.- When this happens, the

body goes into.saing mode
(not the turning one we want)
and starts storing fat.,
Additionally, the body is at a
higher risk to develop diabetes
and hyperglycemia with up
and down insulin levels.
Sugars are stored within the
body as fat yes, the same fat
that we have been warned
about for decades.
Trans-fatty acids present in
fat lower good HDL cholesterol
and raise the bad LDL choles-
terol. This leads to the build up
of plaque on the walls of arter-
ies; which can ultimately lead
to a life of high bl6od pressure,
high cholesterol, heart disease,
and stroke.
Although trans-fatty acids are
a. bad thing, we do have help
finding out-how much is in the
foods we eat. The FDA has now
made it mandatory to start list-
ing these silent killers on the
nutrition labels found on every
.food in the store. Even though
they are silent they are no
longer invisible.
What do you say? Will you
start eating the right foods
now? You don't have to cut


out the foods you love just
cut down. Choose from lean
meats, fresh vegetables, nuts,
berries,; plenty of water and
whole grains.
Really look at the foods you
buy for yourself and your fami-
ly. There are more healthy
options in the supermarket
than ever before.
For example, did you know
that they make whole grain
pasta? Whole-grain pastas con-,
tain cholesterol lowering
Omega 3 fatty acids that are
also found in fish and flaxseed.
Try fat free or reduced fat
milk. Did you know that Milk
has fat burrung capabilities? It
has been shown that the calci-
um in milk may increase the
breakdown of fat.
Choose foods like no fat or
low fat cheese, cottage cheese
and yogurt. Remember that old
saying "Out with the bad in.
with the good." It definitely
applies to eating healthier.
We must reduce our depend-
ency on refined oils! Sound
familiar? The statement holds
true even for our bodies.
Eat more of the things that
are good for you like, and less
foods that are high in refined
or processed sugars. Eating
properly, coupled with a solid
exercise regime will cost money
- because you may have to buy
a whole new wardrobe. (That's
money that most people don't
mind spending.)

SBug of the month: Carpenter Ants'
Carpenter ants are very active in the summer. These large black ants not only live
in dead trees and rociing logs, but will also construct their nests in our homes.
Their nests are often tound in porch pillars, roofs, windowsills, and wood that is
in contact with soil. Each colony of carpenter ants can contain as many as 2,000
workers. They can also cause-extensive damage to foam insulation. Homeowners,
beware of ant baits as many have reported that they do not work for carpenter
% 'ants. Nader's Pest Raiders does work. Nader's Once-A-Year pest control program
includes carpenter ants. Call today for a free inspection.

Red plumes of
bottlebrusli will
bloom all season,

T ast week I talked about
adding summer color
.L.ith annuals, but there
are other ways color can be'
provided, as I have found
through many years of gar- \
dening in North Florida.
Having lived in three sep-
arate places here, I have test-
ed many combinations of
plants in an effort to have a
colorful summer landscape,
no matter what type of soil
or amount of shade I have
had to deal with.
I have found that since I
cannot tolerate working in
the heat for very long, and
because I typically am away
in lune and July, 1 must rely
on plants that need little or
basically no maintenance
once I get them established.
I do have a sprinkler sys-
tem and I don't exceed the
two-day-per-week watering
rule of the St. Johns Water
Management District.
I also have someone who
cuts the grass and trims the
hedges and a company that
fertilizes, but the rest of the
Work is done by me.
First of all, I love crape
nmOitles and have variitieties of
them in the front, on the
side and at the back. I like
to keep them trimmed,
allowing for space under-
neath for growing shorter
perennials or annuals.
I also have bottlebrush
which will keep blooming
its red plumes all growing
season if I cut off the dead
plumes when they have fin-
ished their cycle.
IMy very favorite mid-high
(about 6 feet shrub is
blooming now and it is
called chaste tree or vitex. It
has long beautiful lavender
spikes that smell like an
herb. This plant flowers pro-
fusely for about eight weeks,
then stays green. It does
require heavy pruning but it
is a fav orite of us and of the
birds. ,
These three types of
plants I would call my skele-
ton plants for these two
areas as well as the crapes
pro hiding the color in front.
In the front, I basically
rely on azaleas for spring
color and plant some annu-
als in beds. In the summer-
time, I just rely on the
healthy green of my hedges.
I do have a few old fash-
ioned roses here and there,
and if they bloom during
the summer its great, and if
not, oh well.
I have found that a few
hanging baskets of begonias
in the crapes have added
extra color and they have:
done just fine with whatever
rain we get.
I also have a few
hydrangeas which are about
to come into bloom. Other
than that, the front is not a
showpiece during the sum-
mertime.
The rear of the house is
where I like to have color,
yet it gets the full blast of
the sun. The taller plants I
mentioned, crapes, chaste
tree and bottlebrush, are the
big bones, and underneath
them I have come to love
angel trumpet.
I know it is a poisonous
plant and therefore probably
I should not have it. I
rationalize it by the fact that
I do riot have any children
running around, and my
dog is not a chewer of
plants.
You might want to think
twice before planting one,
and frankly, they are hard to

The June 7 contest is open
to advanced female surfers
ages 10-22 and will be held
on the north side of the pier
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Registration begins at 9 a.m.
"We're really thrilled to get
out there and share this
opportunity with these young
women," said Andersen, an
Ormond Beach native who
was the fust Roxy-sponsored
athlete and has been with the
team since its inception in
1994.
"The level of talent in
women's surfing today blows
my mind. There are so many'
young, skilled and confident


women in the water now and
we want to show our support
and help take them to the
next level."
The contest is the second
event of seven contests along
the East Coast this summer.
Surfers will compete for a
host of Roxv prizes and the
chance to be on the Roxy
Surf Team along with Chelsea
Georgeson, the 2005
Women's ASP World
Champion, Sofia Mulanovich,
the 2004 Women's ASP World
Champion, Megan Abubo,
and Kassia Meador.
The contest will follow a

Clemente was iconic


figure at home, away


'I am from the poor people. I
represent the common people of
America." Roberto Clemente

by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCL4TE EDITOR
oberto Clemente's idea
of a performance
enhancer was a spoonful
of honey.
The 10-time National
League All-Star and four-time
batting champion never lifted
weights or warmed up before
taking the field in right for
the Pittsburgh Pirates from
1954-72.
"His physique was a wonder
of genetics," according to
"Clemente: The Passion and
Grace of Baseball's Last Hero"
iSimon & Schuster, $26) by
Washington Post associate edi-
tor David Maraniss.
"A pregame stop at the
training table was a daily
appointment, another of his
rituals, like not sleeping at
night and complaining about
sportswriters."
Maraniss, who authored
"When Pride Still Mattered: A
Life of Vince Lombardi," has
produced another rich and
fascinating biography, this
time about a mythic sports
figure whose athletic deeds on
the baseball diamond were
matched by a benevolent
nature off it.
Clemente died in a plane
crash on New Year's Eve 1972,
carrying relief supplies to
earthquake victims in
Nicaragua. He was just 38.
Maraniss uncovers new facts
about the ill-fated flight "that
led the unwitting hero on a
mission of mercy toward his
untimely death as an unin-
spected,-overloaded plane
plunged Into the sea" off
Puerto Rico.
At the time of his death,

Clemente was an iconic figure
in Latin America who had
achieved greatness in his pro-
fession and was considered
"the Jackie Robinson of the
Spanish-speaking world."
But he was largely misun-
derstood by the American
sports media who often quot-
ed him in phonetic English,
which "infuriated" the Latino
star, who reached the big
leagues at age 20.
Writes Maraniss about
Clemente's precarious posi-
tion in Pittsburgh: "He was a
Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican
separated from his white
teammates by "language, race
and age."
During spring training in
the mid-1950s in segregated
Fort Myers, Fla., Clemente
roomed in black neighbor-
hoods, and he was confined
to his seat on the team bus
when other players dined in
restaurants.

find.
Also in the rear beds are
two yellow flowering shrub
like plants that stay about 3
feet in height and width, but I
have to prune them to stay
that way.
They are Marguerite daisy
and something that was an
experiment years ago called
thrysallis. I use blue plumba-
go, perennial purple salvia,
caladiums, a very carefully
sculpted area of ruellia (
Mexican petunia), walking
iris, coleus, and if I am lucky,
some hibiscus.
For some reason I have a
horrible time getting hibiscus
to flower for me and therefore
have gotten to the point of
not bothering with them.
I have some gorgeous gold-
en dewdrop and beauty berry
that the birds really like, but
the rest of these areas are just
covered in mulch to try and
keep the weeds down.
I have created an area that
has a flagstone base which is
amongst these plants. It has a
variety of poles that hold my
bird feeders and a place for a
pretty ceramic birdbath to sit.
My initial attempts were to
have something blooming all


year back there, but because,
of my odd schedule and
inability to care for the plants *
in the intense heat, I have
ended up with the most tried,
and true for me.
I get no shade at all from 11
a.m. until sunset, so this is a
true full summer sun area. I
do back up to a lake and have
gorgeous ginger lilies down
there. I also have a trellis on
either side of my porch which
has purple passion vine and
confederate jasmine growing
up it.
There are many wonderful
shrub-like plants you can use
for summertime. Here are oth-
ers that many, people enjoy
having:
Butterfly bush
Milkweed
Canna lily
Firebush
Agapanthus (blooming now
like a tall purple onion)
Daylily
Princess flower
Copper begonia
Croton
Society garlic
Cat whiskers
Santolina ( silvery foliage)
Mexican heather
Asparagus fern


Bird of paradise
Ti plant
Oleander
Ixora a compact ever-
green shrub that has either
orange or yellow clumps of
flowers; not cold tolerant
Bouganvillea, mandevilla,
allemanda for you very lucky)
ones who can get them to
grow and flower
And becoming very popular
are the black or chartreuse
sweet potato vine as well as
the coral trumpet vine.
The book I so often refer
you to, :The Florida
Gardener's Book of Lists,: is a
terrific resource guide for any
kind of plant you are looking
for no matter what your sun,
shade, wet, dry, inland, beach
situation is. It truly is a phe-
nomenal book!
The fact that I utilize a mix-
ture of tall, medium and
shorter flowering shrubs
hardy enough to go unattend-
ed to for several months if
need be, is a wonderful
answer to years of struggling
to make it through the long
summertime without going
insane!
Yes, I use a lot of mulch.
Yes, these plant types all have
the same water needs, and

Clemente was somewhat
detached from the fanfare,
telling a favorite sportswriter E
that he planned to use his
World Series money to buy
his mother a house in Puerto
Rico.
"I can't wait to see the joy
on her face," said Clemente,

World Series games and bat-

talents were rarely over-

Clemente's lowest batting

the so-called "year of tihe

.300.

Maraniss writes: "It was Robe

yes, perhaps I could have
more variety, better design,
etc., but my point is simply
that we do not need to rely
totally on annuals to bring us
color to our yards in the sum-
mer.
And the growers are always
coming up with something
new for us to play with. This
year I see that Gecko's nurser),
has lantana trained as a "stan-
dard," meaning it has been
trained to have one tall trunk
with a ball of flowers on top
like a lollipop! Lantana is one
of the most hardy summer
plants we have, and it is only
one example of new things
out there.
Lest I forget, the beautiful
glazed balls that we might use
one of in our gardens were
used in a Smithsonian garden
that blew me away. Amidst a
hedge of some otherwise bor-
ing evergreen were numerous
glazed balls of varying shades
of purple at varying heights
on plain wrought iron stands.
Over a length of perhaps 60
feet, there were about 25 balls
peeking out of this hedge...I
had to do a double take!
Have a good week, stay cool
and hope for some rain.

X-MEN: Story is not black and white


Cont. from BE-
super Ipowers and sometimes bizarre
appearances of the mutants and you can
substitute nearly any oppressed group.
There are no black and white issues or
characters here. The government has a
mutant in a cabinet-level position
(Secretary of MIutant Affairs), while
authorizing the use of the mutaht cure as
a weapon. "Evil" mutants, such as
Magneto, exhibit both compassion and
nobility, while Professor Charles NXaier
ilatlick Stewartr, a "good" mutant, wants
to use his telepathic abilities to place
mind blocks on Jean Grey against her
will, ostensibly to protect mankind from
her.
The main characters from the first two
nimo-es are back, although some of them
have moved to the forefront while others
have been given reduced roles. Storm
(Halle Berry) becomes the de facto leader
of the X-Men. Iceman (Shawn Ashmore)
is required to put his romantic feelings
for the missing Rogue (Anna Paquini on
the back burner as he steps up from a
super-hero-in-training to a full-fledged
member of the team. And Wolverine
(Hugh Jackman), a character already
ruled by his emotions, finds himself


gripped by internal turmoil with the
return of Jean and her subsequent defec-
tion to Magneto's brotherhood.
"The last Stand" allows several cast
members a chance to shine. In a greatly.
.reduced role, James Marsden portrays
'Cyclops, the previous leader of the group.
as a morose, unshaven loner mourning
the death of his beloved Jean. Berry
brings a maturity and self-assuredness to
Storm, who finds herself responsible for
the leadership of both the X-Men team
and Professor Xavier's school. And Kelsey
Grammer is a standout as Hank McCoy
(Beast), a blue-furred, blue-skinned
mutant caught in a three-way struggle
among the X-Men, the brotherhood and
a presidential administration that doesn't
know'how to handle.itg ffiitafit "prob- ':
While "The Last Stand" is loaded with,
action and impressive special effects, the
true standout in the movie is the story.
The plot is complex without becoming
bogged down in itself. While a movie fea-
turing characters who fly, move objects
with their minds and can walk through
'walls naturally has to stretch the limits of
believability, "The Last Stand" doesn't use
the characters' mutant powers as an .


'Dead Broke' packed with A-list cast


by SARAH LINWOOD
CONTRIBUTOR
If you've ever tangled with a
debt collection agency, you're
certainly aware it's not partic-
ularly pleasant.
Even if you'vee absolute
proof of payment, things
often don't go well: from the
agency's side, employees are
threatened, verbally abused
and sometimes, physically
assaulted.
. It's into this little-seen, .
shadowy world that "Dead
Broke," a murder mystery just
out on DVD, takes its audi-
ence.
Another flick that for
unknown reasons enjoyed an
extremely limited' theatrical
run, it's packed with A-list
players. Though not a flick
you'll remember for the rest of
your life (it doesn't even have
,a website!), it's a solid 98 min-
utes of entertainment!
"Dead Broke" opens with a
murder, a killing along a
grimy Brooklyn waterfront. It
occurs directly in front of the


Polite Persistence Collection'
Agency, though no one inside
its massive doors admits to
knowing anything. The police
are anonymously alerted to
the shooting by phone, but
upon arrival, find no body.
Divers are called in to search:
they assume the victim's' car-,
cass either fell or was tossed
into the open sewer-that's .
allegedly one of the rivers that
divide Gotham.
The focus then turns to the
collection agency employees,
all of whom, it seems, have
reasons good ones to lie.
: Playing the dogged lead
detective is John Glover, the
well-known, 62-year-old actor
who did a fine job in
"Smallville" and "Num3ers."
Like'real-life professional
detectives, he pays attention
to the smallest details!
Initially, his prime suspect is
67-year-old Brooklyn native,
Paul Sorvino, who, the film
alludes, has mob connections.
If one method doesn't cause
customers to cough up what
they owe, "another way" is


contemplated, some actors
allude.
Providing glamour in this
semi film noir is Jill Hennessy,
the. "pure" collection agency
employee who daily can be
seen in reruns of "Crossing
Jordan."
.She's multi-talented in real
life, too. She speaks Italian,
French, Spanish and German.
But when it comes to acting
prowess, it's little-known
Patricia Scanlon, who steals
the show. As Frankie, other-
wise known as the "Doberman
of Debt," she's literally the
film's attack dog. Tony Roberts
and Justin Theroux fill' the
flick's other important roles.
Edward Vilga directed "Dead
Broke." He also wrote the
story and screenplay. In all
areas, he did a better than
passable job. There's talent
here the type that's honed
only by more experience.
Though not an Oscar candi-
date, this R-rated flick is
decent entertainment. You'll
particularly like the twist at
the end!
I


excuse to throw all reason out the win-
dow. We can feel the pain of Magneto
when he has to leave a fallen comrade
behind as a "casualty of war." When a
father finds his son bloody and in tears
after tring to cut wings from his back,
the embarrassment and shame both dis-
play come across as real emotions. When
Cyclops vents his rage at the lake where
Jean Grey sacrificed herself to save her
teammates, he shows a grief that is real
to anyone who has suffered the loss of a
loved one.
"X-Men: The Last Stard" is, to be sure,
an action/fantasy movie. But the story'
and characters would not be out of place
in a more mainstream drama. There are
few lighthearted moments, as all sides
suffer substantial losses. The overalF .
despau of the movie is summed up best
before the final credits, as a despondent
Magneto mourns the loss of friends and
comrades. (Note: Be sure to stay through
the entire closing credits, as the fate of
one major character is hinted at in the
final scene.)
Directed by Brett Ratner, "X-Men: The
Last Stand" is rated PG-13 for "intense
sequences of action violence, some sexual,
content and language."

Final Palms concert Saturday Briefs: Vacation Bible


by KATHY NICOLETTI
STAFF WRITER
The final concert of the
Palms Presbyterian Church
Fine Arts Series, "St. Paul" by
Felix Mendelssohn, will be "a
unique offering at the beach
and in Jacksonville," said
Palms Director of Music and
Fine Arts Ronn Cummings.
"The piece is a sacred orato-
rio. The music is theatrical
and dramatic.... and tells a
story.
Many churches don't have
the vocal resources or the
space to accommodate doing
something like this, said
Cummings.
"An oratorio is the same as
an opera with a large orches-
tra and a large chorus with
solists. While an opera uses
sets and costumes, an oratorio
is performed concert style,"
The' performance of "St.
Paul" is a joint effort of
Palms Chancel Choir, the
Chancel Choir from Riverside
Presbyterian Church, and
thirty-five members of the
Jacksonville Symphony
Orchestra,
Forty members of each
church's choir will participate
in the concert. ,. .,
Andrew Clarke, Director of
Music and organist at
Riverside will conduct half ot
the concert. Cummings will
conduct the other half.
The concert will be. held at
Palms Presbyterian Church at


S

Ronn Cummings, Director of Music and Fine Arts at Palms Presbyterian Church, will conduct part
of a performance of Mendelssohn's oratorio "St. Paul" on Saturday, June 3 .


3410 South Third Street in
Jacksonville Beach.
Admission is free and no
tickets or reservations are
required. For information call
the church office at 246-6427.
Preparations for the per-
formance began last fall with
more intensive rehearsals held
during the past two months,


said Cummings.
SMendelssohn wrote the
oratorio in the early 19th
Century. Although the mas-
terpiece was written in '
German, the ninety minute
performance will be sung in
English.
The oratorio tells the story
of dramatic events in the life-


of St. Paul. The martyrdom of
Stephen, Paul's conversion,
and his efforts to spread
Christianity are part of the
story told by the music.
"Parts of the oratorio are
mighty and powerful. There
are also lovely pastoral sec-
tions," said Cummings.

Get the beautiful smile

you've always wanted!



Invisalign,' is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of
custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been proven
effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide. So
whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted
since wearing braces, you'll have a new reason to smile.

Damage to th9 former Jacksonville Beach amusement area near the boardwalk as it appeared
after a hurricane in 1944. The Beaches Museum and History Center's newest temporary photo-
graphic.exhibit titled "Disruption and Destruction: Florida's Hurricanes in the 1920s and 1940s"
depicts the ravages of hurricanes in the First Coast Beaches during the early part of the 20th
century. Photographs will hang in the lobby hallway and portray the destruction caused by the
hurricanes of November 1925, September 1928, October 1944, October 1947 and August 1949.



Beach utility has disaster plan


by JEFFREY MINTON
STAFF IW'RITER
Despite a myth that the
geography of Northeast
Florida protects it from hurri-
canes, experts say that this
area is definitely fair game for
"significant" storms.
And AJ Sandrik, senior fore-
caster with the National
Weather Service's Southern
Region in Jacksonville, points
to the history of tropical
storms in the area as the rea-
son why.
"When you go back into the
1900s, it was very, very
active," Sandrik said of signifi-
cant hurricanes which affect-
ed Northeast Florida and
coastal Georgia. i
"If it happened then, there's
absolutely no physical reason
that prevents a major storm
from coming in the 21st cen-
tury."
A few years ago Sandrik
headed up a study of the his-
tory of storms in the area. The
research chronologically listed
tropical storms affecting the
North Florida and Coastal
Georgia areas from 1565 to
1890.
The study shows numerous
"major hurricanes" Category
3 or greater which had "sig-
nificant impact" on the coasts
of Northeast Florida and
Georgia.
In particular, several storms
between 1893 and 1898
caused major damage to the
area, he said.
Sandrik points to a major
hurricane in October of 1898
as causing "8 feet to 10 feet of
storm surge in Jacksonville
Beach." The study likens the
effects of that 1898 storm to
Hurricane Hugo in 1989,
which heavily damaged
Charleston S.C. in 1989.
"They [storm surges] were
enough to cause significant
impact in Jacksonville Beach,"
Sandrik said.
Sandrik says, however, that


,s tor m
events
have been
"quiet" in
\ the 20th'
century.
tells us
\ that a sig-
\ nifi cant
hurricane
N .,pr ld shouI d
occur [in
the Northeast Florida area]
about three times in a centu-
ry," he said.
"So, certainly we should see
one every 33 years. And it's
been 42 years since Hurricane
Dora [hit the First Coast]."
But Sandrik and other
weather experts do admit that
the "curvature" and location
of Northeast Florida does
"provide some favorable geog-
raphy" in relation to storms.
Mark Collins, a meteorolo-
gist for First Coast News in
Jacksonville, said that the
shape and location "does
help" sort of.
"That [the curvature] does
come into play," Collins said.
"We're kind of in a safety
zone. But it's not just
Jacksonville. There are a lot of
places in Florida that are more
immune to hurricanes "
Collins said, however, that
no place is truly immune to
storms.
Ironically, however, it is
that curvature in Northeast
Florida which will actually
increase the intensity of a
storm if one does hit, said
Sandrik.
"The curvature ensures
that storm surges will be
much more significant when
it does hit," he said. And he
says history tells us that will
happen.
"If those storms can occur
in the 1800s, and Dora in
1964, then there is absolute-
ly nothing stopping it from
happening in the 21st
Century," he said.

STAFF WRITER
With hurricanes comes the
promise of extensive power
outages as tropical winds and
rain uproot utility poles and
blow out electrical grids.
The 32,000 customers of
Beaches Energy Services will
likely experience a power fail-
ure during a hurricane,
Jacksonville Beach Assistant
City Manager Roy Paxson said,
because city officials will often
make the call to shut down
power before the storm can.


"It depends on the magni-
tude of the storm," Paxson
said. "During a significant
storm system, it only helps us
to turn things off."
Paxson said officials consid-
er wind speeds when deciding
whether to manually cut
power. If a tree is felled on an
active power line, crews are
less able to remove the debris
and establish power.
If the power is off, Paxson
said crews cain easily get the
tree off the line to restore serv-
ice.
Winds below 45 mph will


usually allow utility crews to
maintain service, he said.
"If it is just a glancing blow,
we do the best we can to ride it
out," he said. "Once the winds
get above 45 mph, it's danger-
ous for crews to keep things
on." ,
In a major hurricane,
Paxson said emergency crews
will "batten down the hatches
and hunker down with the rest
of the crews until the winds
subside."

A mandatory evacuation is
issued to ensure the safety of
residents living in the path of
hurricane destructive.
But who decides when and
where to issue an evacuation?
Officials with the Emergency
Operations Center make the
final determination and all
evacuations are issued county-
wide by Jacksonville Mayor
John Pe\ton.
"Mayor Pevton does it as a
county function. We don't do it
city by city," Jacksonville Beach
Mayor Fland Sharp said, refer-
ring to the heads of the three

professional information you
can. What else are you going to
do?"
Sharp and Jacksonville Beach
Fire Chief Gary Frazier will join
operations at the EOC in the


event of a hurricane, along with
the officials from Neptune
Beach and Atlantic Beach.
Other city officials, depart-
ment heads and staff will estab-
lish headquarters at the Avenues
Mall on Southside Boulevard to
monitor the path of an
approaching storm.
Using data collected from var-
ious storm models, emergency
management officials track the
projected path of a hurricane,
the sustained wind speeds and
potential storm surge.
Frazier said that if an evacua-
tion is ordered, even for a cate-
gory 1 storm, the order will
apply to all of the barner island.

The Beach Boulevard drawbridge in Jacksonville Beach at
the Intracoastal Waterway was the,only bridge to the barrier
island that remained open to traffic in 2004 after winds over
45 mph from hurricanes offshore caused public safety
authorities to close all of the other bridges, which have a
higher profile. The bridge is being replaced this year with
higher concrete spans. State and county officials have not,
explained how evacuation will proceed if all of the bridges
are high profile and are closed when high winds blow as
storms approach.


New study to estimate"

evacuation may take


up to 60 hours for

Beaches residents


Heading into .a "very
active" hurricane season,
drivers evacuating on County.
Road 210 the only west-
bound hurricane evacuation
route out of Ponte Vedra
Beach will be slowed by
construction along the road.
And even without the con-
struction, a new study is,
expected to more than dou-
ble the number of hours used
as an estimate for evacuating
the barrier islands in
Northeast Florida.
Ray Ashton, director of
emergency management for
St. Johns County, said ,that
based on' a 1998 study, the.
official estimate of evacua-
tion time from the barrier
islands has stood at 18 to 20
hours. ':
The new study, expected to
be released soon, "is going to
be 40 to 60 hours," Ashton
said.
The estimate is changing
largely because of increased
development in Florida in the'
past few years and because
South Florida evacuees can be
expected to jam the road-
ways, Ashton said.

In September 2004,
Hurricane Jeanne passed west
of the city leaving a trail of
debris, minimal power outages
and scattered damages
throughout the Beaches.
Jacksonville Beach residents
experienced only minor and
temporary power outages.
Beaches Energy Service crews
worked 24-hour shifts to
maintain services.
"Although we had numer-
ous reported outages, the aver-
age time without power was
around one hour," according
to a city-issued release.
Fallen tree limbs were most-
ly responsible for the scattered
outages.
In the Palm Valley area, a
crewman was descending in a
bucket truck after replacing a
fuse when another limb came
down and knocked out power
again.
Extended power outages can
produce greater complications

Meanwhile, construction
of Nocatee Parkway alohg
County Road 210 west of the
[ntracoastal Waterway will
add to evacuation time this
year.
Work on the park-way, the
major road through the
mixed-use development of
Nocatee west of Ponte Vedra,
has led to lower speed limits
and rerouting of traffic.
Ashtonr and Joe
Stephenson, director of
Public Works for St. Johns
County, advise residents to
leave early if using 210 to
evacuate or take a different
route.
Stephenson said eastbound
lanes will not be opened to
westbound traffic because all
entrances and exits on the
road would have to be closed.
Also, emergency vehicles
would be unable to travel
east.
I Stephenson said leaving
early is the only option for
residents who wish to avoid
the bottleneck at the Nocatee
construction just west of the
Intracoastal Waterway.,

Not when my father called,
pleading with me, then order-
ing me to get in the car and get
on the interstate.
Not even when a uniformed
police officer struggling, to:
right himself against the wind
gusts knocked at my door to
inform me of the mandatory
evacuation did I budge.
I had everything I needed to
ride out the storm. I had plen-
ty of candles arid, a flashlight.
The fridge was stocked with
enough, beer and sandwich fix-
ings to. last the weekend.
And I had an accomplice
willing to participate in my
hurricane antics. It was all a
big hoot when the wind top-
pled us like sandcastles at high
tide.
The waves were monstrous
and the ocean roared with: a
sound likened to that of an
approaching tornado. Sand'
stung our skin like millions of
angry bullets. It was great fun'.
Or so we thought.
We tried to drive through
the -Beaches to witness the
impending doom but it was
becoming too hard to steer
against Floyd's force. -
Beach foam filled the old
pier parking lot at 6th Avenue
South and we waded in up to
our knees, just in time to see
the wooden icon spill into the
sea.
Screaming into the wind was
useless. There was no way to
hear above the unfolding hell.
We drove home breathless,
covered in sand and salt and
fearing what was still to come.
The streets were deserted,
like a ghost town. Traffic lights
swung precariously above the
empty streets. No cars, no peo-
ple, no one to help us.
Unwilling to show my
defeat, I put on a brave face,
cracked a fresh beer and turned
on the television to learn my
fate. Floyd, the news anchor
said grimly, was coming.
If landfall came as predicted,
Floyd would arrive around 5
a.m. We finally lost power, ren-
dering it impossible to count it
down. I lit candles so I could
glance nervously at my watch.


LIZA V. MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
It wasn't the first time I
experienced a hurricane by
candlelight. I was 7 when my
family left for Savannah in
driving rain as. the eye of
Hurricane David bore down on
Hilton Head Island in 1979.
I wasn't scared until I saw a
McDonald's manager, who was
a mountain of a man, cry in
fear as he pulled the hurricane
shutters closed-iin preparation
of the storm.
Our hotel room was on the
first floor and the water from
the overflowing pool lapped at
the sliding glass' door. I was
grateful when the power went
out so I wouldn't have to
watch the red of the storm
crawl across the radar screen.
I cowered beneath the stiff
hotel covers and watched huge
trees seemingly made of rubber
bend and' buckle under the
weight of the storm.
Years later as Floyd loomed, I
'remembered those trees as the
massive oaks, that once
appeared so grand standing,
watch in my small backyard
.threw menacing shadows at
my walls in their fitful dance.
Branches of one of the
biggest oaks. slammed relent-
lessly against the wall directly
outside my bedroom.
To this day I don't 'know
how the block frame of my
tiny apartment withstood such
a fierce pounding. But it did.
As history tells, Hurricane
Floyd -narrowly skirted the
coast an.d spaeid, the Beaches
the anguish of disaster.
-Trees fell, signs shattered,
streets flooded and the. pier
washed out to sea. But no lives
were lost.
I am older now and a parent.
I still make mistakes now and
then but Iknow when the time
comes to evacuate, I will make
every effort to get me and my
son far out of harm's way.
Evacuating is scary and the
uncertainty is overwhelming,
not knowing what you will
find when you are able to
return home. But sitting in the
dark, hoping the rdof holds, is
one feeling I don't plan to
experience again.


Evacuation:


ity' of sewage backups and
overflows.
During Frances in 2005,
Jacksonville Beach crews were
forced to constantly rotate
rented pumps throughout the
storm.
"Luckily, we'made it by the
skin of our teeth," Forbes said.
"As a city, we would not want
to press our luck against a hur-,
ricane."' .
* Paxson said city, officials
must reestablish electrical
service by 'priority. The hospi-
tal and government buildings
are considered top priority.,
Water and sewer plants
must also be up and running
to allow residents to to be self-
sustaining.
Last year, Jacksonville Beach
officials stepped up storm
preparations by installing new
generators at two sewage lift
stations after the five near-.
miss hurricanes of 2004 tested'
the capabilities of the dcy's 35
lift stations.
Only 10 of the stations are
equipped with generators to
reinstate lost power and main-
tain, sewage flow.
At wastewater plants a storm
brings high flows and pumps
are operated to prevent water
from infiltrating into sanitary
manholes.
The city will piggyback on a
$83,738 contract with JEA to.
purchase a 25-kilowattigenera-
tor to power Lift Station 6 at
Sandra Drive and a 50-kilowatt
standby generator for Lift
Station 18 in the 900 block of
22nd Street N.
"Like additional pumps, we
can never have enough gener-
ators. This is getting us more
prepared in case of a bad storm
system which I pray doesn't
happen," City Manager
George Forbes said.


Cont. from page 1
Those who choose not to
evacuate will be advised they
will be on their own, as police
and firefighters will leave
until the storm passes.
Neptune Beach Police Chief
David Sembach said 'police
can not force someone from a
home to evacuate, but he said
anyone remaining 'here will
be advised to provide infor-
mation on a next of kin and
mark a Social Security num-
ber on his or her arm.
In the event of an evacua-
tion, municipal files, records,
computers and any other
equipment are also trans-
ferred to the mall's parking
garage for storage until the
storm passes..
"That is the highest section
of ground," Sharp said. "The
garage, .is the safest place you


can be. We will remove equip-
nient, everything we can pos-
sibly take we will roll in there.
We will be all geared up to get
off the Beach."
Sharp, Neptune Beach
Mayor Dick Brown and
Atlantic Beach Mayor Don.
Wolfson will stay in contact
with'each other and depart-
'ment heads in each city via
satellite phones.
In the wake of a hurricane,
search and rescue recovery
will be the top priority.
Restoring electric, sewer and
water utilities will be con-
ducted simultaneously.
Each Beach municipality
'will be responsible for direct-
ing its own recovery efforts
through the. EOC to enable
the use of county, state and
federal assistance resources.

History of Hurricanes



at the Beaches


by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
The Jacksonville Beaches have not suffered a direct hit from a hurri-
cane, but it has been nicked by several glancing blows over the years.
In October 1898, a hurricane that made landfall.in Fernandina Beach
caused $500,000 in damage, according to "Florida Hurricanes and
Tropical Storms" by John. M. Williams and Iver W. Duedall.
Earlier that same year, a hurricane that killed 12.people and affected the Apalachicola area,
caused a 10.8-foot storm surge in Fernandina Beach.
The first storm to affect the Jacksonville Beaches in a residual way made landfall in the
Sarasota-Tampa area in 1925. -.
The Category 1 storm caused 50 deaths and $1.6-million in damages to the Tampa Bay area.
The storm's outer bands brought high winds to Jacksonville Beach, toppling a wooden roller
coaster on the boardwalk.
In 1928, a Category 4 storm (hurricanes were not given names until 1950) that-affected the
Palm Beach and Lake Okeechobee area caused more than, 1,800 deaths and $26 million in dam-
ages.
The roller coaster in Jacksonville Beach suffered additional damage as did several wood-
framed homes, including a well-known boarding house. .
The coaster was rebuilt, but realtor H.B. Daniels placed the heavily-damaged "Georgia House"
up for sale "at a bargain"'price, according to a 1928 photo.
In 1944, a Category 3 storm that hit Sarasota with 163 mph peak:winds, causing 18 deaths
and $582 million in damages, caused a storm surge of 12.3 feet in the Jacksonville area.

BEFORER, DURING AND AFTER THE STORM



1. Before a Hurricane Threat .. -


Locate where you live and
your evacuation level.
Determine if, when, and by
what route you would have
to evacuate. Remember, all
mobile home residents must
evacuate, regardless of loca-
tion.
Decide where you would go
if ordered to evacuate, and
plan your route. If you are
going to leave the region or
go to a motel, you must leave
early.
Put together your disaster
supplies kit.
Tack down loose roofing
and siding, and trim dead bro-
ken limbs from the trees
around your home. :
Make minor improvements,
such as bracing the gable ends


of roofs, needed to make your
home safer. Contract a profes-
sional engineer, licensed con-
tractor or architect to inspect
your home- for structural
integrity.
Make plans to buy materials
(plywood, shutters, protective
window, film, nails, etc.) to
protect your home before a
storm threatens.
Purchase a battery-powered
weather alert radio.
Inventory your property (a
videotape is excellent). Store
with insurance papers and
other important papers in a
safe place. Consider sending a
copy to a relative out of the
area.
Make a visual or written
record of all of your house-


hold possessions. Record
model and serial numbers.
This list could help you prove
the value of what you owned
if those possessions are dam-
aged or destroyed, and can
help you claim deductions on
taxes.
Do this for all items in your
home, including expensive
items such as sofas, chairs,
tables, beds, chests, wall units
and any other furniture too
heavy to move.
Make sure your address is
clearly marked on your house.
Whether you rent or own
your home, review your insur-
ance policies with your agent.
consider purchasing flood
insurance if needed.,


2. Under a Hurricane Watch


If. the Beaches are placed
under a Hurricane Watch by
the National Hurricane Center
it means hurricane conditions
are considered a real possibili-
ty.
Listen for weather updates
on local stations and on NOAA
Weather Radio. Don't trust
rumors, and stay tuned to the
latest information.
Review disaster' plans with
your family. If you don't have a
plan, make one.
Check your disaster supplies
kit, Obtain any, needed items.
Gather important papers
(insurance, titles, deeds, birth
certificates, pet vaccination
records, prescriptions, etc.).
Valuable or irreplaceable
objects that cannot be evacuat-
ed should be placed in water-
tight containers or, sealed in
plastic bags.
Refill prescriptions and.
obtain an adequate (two-week
minimum) supply of baby
food, diapers. and sanitary


needs. Maintain'at least a two-
week supply of these items and
non-perishable food during
hurricane season. Make sure
you have a manual can opener.
Clear yard of potential flying
debris, e.g. lawn furniture, pot-
.ted plants, bicycles and trash
cans.
Protect your windows and
glass doors. Brace double entry
and garage doors at the top
and bottom. If you have hurri-
cane shutters, make sure they
Share working and that' you.have
the material to install them.
Fill your car's gas tank and
check oil, water and tires (Gas
pumps don't operate without
electricity).
Secure or evacuate your boat
early.. Some drawbridges
including Beach Boulevard at
Intracoastal \Vatervway, Ortega
River, Heckscher Drive) on
evacuation routes will be
locked down and closed to
boat traffic .after an evacuation
is ordered.


Leave your swimming pool
filled and super-chlorinated.
Cover your filtration system..
,Get cash. Banks and ATMs
will not operate without elec-
tricity and few stores will be
able to accept credit cards.
Animal owners should make
any special preparations for
evacuation or care that their
particular animal may require.
Pets should be evacuated with'
their owners or boarded at a
veterinarian with adequate
facilities. Large and exotic ani-
mals. should be evacuated
early, out of. the threatened
area;
Move..objects that may get
damaged by wind or. water to
safer areas of your home. Move
television sets, computers,
stereo and electronic equip-
ment,; and easily' moveable
appliances like a'microwave,
oven, to higher levels of your
home and aaway from wi n-
dows. Wrap them in sheets,
blankets or burlap.


3. Under Hurricane Warning


Gather portable radio, tflash-
light and fresh batteries, and
other elements of your disaster
kit.
*. Secure boats. Photograph
and/or videotape boats and
yachts after they are sectred as
proof that prudent and reawson-
able care was taken to protect
the property. If possible, also
take pictures of neighboring
boats to document how they
were secured.
Store drinking water in


If, this area is placed under a
Hurricane Warning by the
National Hurricane Center, it
means winds of at least 74 miles
per hour; high water and storm
surge are expected in a specific
area within a 24-hour period.
Listen to weather updates and
stay informed.
Once this warning has been'
issued, your family should be in
the process of completing pro-
'tective actions and deciding the
safest location to be during the
storm.
Leav- e tees and shrubs
alone. If you did not already cut
away dead or diseased branches
or limbs from trees and shrubs,
leave them alone. Local rubbish
collection services %sill not have
time before the storm to pick
anything up. '
Look for potential hazards.
Look for unripened fruit, and
other objects in- trees around
your property that could blow
or break off and fly around in
high winds. Cut them off and
store them indoors until the
storm is over.
Turn off electricity and
water. Turn off electricity at the
main fuse or breaker, and turn
off water at the main valve.
Turn off propane gas service.
Propane tanks often become dis-
lodged in disasters.


4. If ordered to leave


During a Hurricane Watch
or Hurricane Warning, state
and local Civil Defense and
disaster preparedness officials
'will analyze hurricane fore-
cast information and use
computer simulations to
determine, when to order an
evacuation.
An evacuation order may be
given locally while the sun is
shining. This is because local
Civil Defense and disaster
preparedness officials must
move all vulnerable residents
to safety prior to the arrival of
high winds or the flooding of

5. When the

storm hits

As the storm passes, there will
be a calm period, or lull, known
as the "eye" of the hurricane,
lasting from several minutes to a
half hour or more. Wind and
rain may cease completely, but
the storm has not passed.
At the other side of the eye,
the winds rise very rapidly once
again to hurricane force and
come from the opposite direc-
tion. Wait for official word that.
it is safe before going outside.
Continue listening to local
radio or television stations or a
NOAA Weather Radio for infor-
-mation and instructions.


clean 'containers.
Turn the refrigerator and
freezer to the coldest settings if
not instructed by officials to
turn off utilities.
Evacuate if you live in the fol-
lowing:
An area that'will be subject-
ed to stotm-surge.
A mobile home or substan-
dard house.
An area that has suffered
from repeated flooding in the
past.


S File Photo

Booth installs boards during a previous storm.


6. When the

storm ends

If you evacuated, return
home when local officials tell
you it is safe. Local officials on
the scene are your best source of
information on accessible areas
and passable roads.
Stay alert for extended rain-,
fall and subsequent flooding,
even after the hurricane or trop-
ical storm has weakened..
Hurricanes may stall or change
direction when they rhake land-
fall, or they may bring a lot of
rain upriver, causing additional
flood hazards for hours or days
after the storm.
Stay away from flood waters.
Drive' only if absolutely neces-
sary and avoid flooded roads'
and washed-out bridges.'.
Continue to follow all flood'
safety messages. Flood waters
may last for days following a
hurricane. Never try to walk,
swim or drive through such
swift water. If it is moving swift-
ly, even water six inches deep
can sweep you off your feet, and
two feet can carry away most
automobiles.
Avoid disaster areas. Your
presence might hamper rescue
and other emergency opera-
tions, and put you at further
risk.
Avoid loose or dangling
power lines; immediately report
them to the power company,
police or fire department.


roadways.
If ordered to evacuate,
.secure the home and leave
immediately..
Those who evacuate should
secure the house as if leaving
on vacation.
Shut off gas valves.
Pull the main electrical
power switch.
Turn off the main water
pipe.
Take important papers,
such as insurance policies,
along. Backup your computer.
(See 'lists on page 4 for
information on what to take.)

7. Back at home


Return to homes and other buildings during
daylight hours and be alert for structural or elec-
frical damages or gas laks. Be extremely careful
inside your home. The potential for collapse may.
exist. If you're told by authorities to stay out, stay
out.
Electrical equipment should be checked and:
dried before being returned to senice.,Call'an
electrician for advice before using electricity,
which may have received water damage.
Stay out of the building if water remains
around the building. Flood waters often under-
mine foundations, causing buildings to sink,
floors to crack, or walls to collapse.
\ear sturdy shoes. The most common injury
following a disaster is cut feet.
ULse battery-powered lanterns or flashlights,
when examining buildings.
Inspect foundanons for cracks or other dam-
age. Cracks and damage to a foundation,can ren-
der a building uninhabitable;.
Look for fire hazards. Do not strike a match or
use a flame until positive that there is no gas leak.
Check for gas leaks. If you smell gas or hear a
blowing or hissing noise, leave. Turn off the gas,
using the outside main valve if you can, and call
the gas company from a neighbor's home.
Look for electrical system damage. If you see
sparks or broken or frayed wires, or if you smell
burning insulation, turn off the electricity at the
main fuse box or circuit breaker. ,
Stay away from downed power lines.
Check for sewage and water line damage. If
.-you suspect sewage lines are damaged, avoid psmng
the toilets'and call a plumber. If water pipes are
damaged, avoid using water from the tap.
Don't assume your water is safe after a severe
storm. Water supplies can become tainted. If you


don't know if the water is safe, boil it before you
use it for anything (brushing teeth, cooking,
drinking, bathing, etc.).
Watch out for animals, especially poisonous
snakes, that may have come into buildings with
the flood waters. Use a stick to poke through.
debris. Remove any carcasses to avoid attracting
rats.
Take pictures of the damage, both of the build-
ing and its contents, for insurance claims.
Open windows and doors to ventilate and dry
your home.
Check refrigerated'food for spoilage.
Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools. pits
and leaching systems as soon as possible.
Lise the telephone only for emergency calls.
Telephone lines are frequently overwhelmed in
disaster situations. They need to be clear for emer-
gency calls to get through.
Watch for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings
,that could fall.
Make temporary repairs to prevent further
damage, keeping receipts for materials.
If your home is unlivable, find out what liv-
ing expenses your policy may cover.
Be patient and assist claims adjusters assigned
to your case. Small losses may be settled quickly;
extensive claims will take longer.
Notify creditors if bills have been lost or
you're unable to pay.
Report your claim to your Insurer promptly.
Be aware, if a widespread disaster has occurred.,
the company may set up special procedures. .
Prepare to file, an insurance,claim.by gather-'.
ing all relevant policy numbers.
Inventory your home for damaged or lost
items before your adjustor arrives. This will speed,
up your claim process.

* Trim any deadwood and weak/overhanging branches from
all trees,in your yard.

* Any dead tree near your home is a hazard. Remove it
now. Don't wait for the last minute. Diseased trees are also
susceptible to wind damage; have your tree surgeon do a
thorough walk through while they are on your property.

* Trim/prune your trees for wind. When done correctly, this
leaves the tree less prone to wind damage. HOWEVER, point-
ing or selectively removing limbs can make the tree more
vulnerable to wind damage than before, causing an imbalance
and stressing the trunk and/or specific limbs. This can be
difficult to visualize and must be done by a tree surgeon/tree
service with extensive experience.

* Hire only licensed and insured contractors. Workers
compensation and general liability are the only protection for
you and your home.

* Be cautious of any service going door to door "work-
ing down the street for your neighbor." Ask to see their li-
censes and insurance. NEVER pay for services up front.

Flooding is a problem in pans
of the Beaches during heavy
rains. In the event of a hurri-
cane, water could be several
feet deep throughout the
beach. Flood insurance, which
must be purchased as a sepa-
rate policy, provides coverage.

Downed trees and tree limbs are a hazard that results from tropical storms and hurricanes. The falling tree limbs can also cause
problems with power supply as they knock down electrical lines. Above shows some of the damage that occurred in 2004 when
Hurricane Frances was offshore. The storm was one,of four that came in quick succession that fall.




Feasible to add protection to older homes


FROM STAFF
Continued improvements in Florida's
hurricane building code have been shown
to provide structures with a measurable
degree of protection.
But owners of older homes can take some
measures to shore up their structures,
according to a nonprofit organization spe-
cializing in strengthening homes.
That organization, the Federal Alliance
for Safe Homes IFLASHi, based in
Tallahassee. recently launched an education
campaign to help property o ownerss make
their homes hurricane-resistant.
At an event in South Florida's Broward
County May 10, FLASH and a University of
Florida engineer unveiled details of a new
"Retrohtness" campaign with "to do" lists
for homeowners and access to free technical
resources.
With .'about 95 percent of homes in
Florida built under' older or less strict build-
ing codes, the education campaign "is'
designed to give the owners of those homes
information about retrofitting techniques'
they can use today to prepare for the wor't
of hurricane season," according to a FLASH
j.press release. ,, 1
S..In.foimation about protecting a'home is,
available from FLASH toll-free at fS.') 221-
SAFE or by accessing the organization's \Veb
site (www.flash.org).
The site contains suggestions for protect-
ing homes from flood damage and wind,
damage, with measures ranging from
removing dead tree limbs in the home's


landscaping to elevating the home to keep
out flood waters.
Among suggestions are the following:
Consider building temporary emer-
gency panels to cover windows and doors
that are not impact-resistant.
The site has a printable step-by-step guide
that can be downloaded.
To strengthen garage doors, which are
"particularly vulnerable to high winds,"
either replace the door and track with a sys-
tem designed to withstandd high winds and
debris or protect the existing garage door'
with an approved impact-resistant cover-
ming. .
Reinforced garage doors required under
newer building codes "proved very effec-
tive," according to the results of, a
University of Florida engineering study
released in July.
The study, which compared homes built
before and after the state's latest building
'codes and how they fared during the states'
four hurricanes in 2004, found that homes
'built with reinforced garage doors had no
significant garage door damage.
Install hurricane straps or clips at every
wall-to-rafter connection to reinforce.,,the..
roof, a homes ".first line of defense from a
storm."
The same: 'University of Florida. study
found that roof shingles were key at pro--
tecting homes from the storms.
"For example, shingle-roofed homes built
under the 2002 code retained more asphalt
shingles than homes built under the 1994


code," says a report on- the study (at
http://aec.ihs.com).
"Retaining 'shingles is critical in humrri-
canes because loss of too many can com-
promise the roof, allowing rain to enter the
attic' and living space," the site says.
"The new code requires shingles to with-
stand higher winds than the previous
'code."
According to the study, newer homes
withstood the 2004 hurricanes better than
older homes, largely because of stricter
codes.
The study compared 200 homes in the
path of the highest wind zones from those
hurricanes.
Homes built prior to 1994 -when high-
wind standards of the standard building
code became widely used in coastal areas -
were not formally included in the study,
although researchers observed those homes
in damaged neighborhoods.
. The researchers concluded that homes
built under stricter 2002 building codes sus-
tained less damage than did those; built
between 1994 and 2001.
"Homes completed before 1994 fared
worse, ".the.site note-s.
A brochure explaining things a home-
owner can do to protect from wind damage
is available on the St. Johns County
Emergency Management Department Web
site (www. sjcemergencymanagement.org).

down list to -the left.

AB adopts shelter to

manage during storm


by JEFFREY MINTON
STAFF WRITER
In the event of an emer-
gency evacuation at the
Beaches, the city staff in
Atlantic Beach have agreed to
set up and man operations at
the emergency shelter at
Kernan Trail Elementary
School.
"We have adopted a Red
Cross shelter," said the city's
Public Safety Director and
Police Chief David
Thompson, adding that many
municipalities' staff go to a
hotel to 'set up operations.
"We felt that we would prefer
to be more productive. We'd
rather be doing something.
"We don't want to just be
there. We want to be part of
the solution."
He said Administrative
Assistant for the Public Safety
Department Laurie Scott will


be in charge at the school
located at 2281 South Kernan
Blvd.
Thompson said that the
school was built for a hurri-
cane shelter and is "very well
constructed."
"It will withstand just
about anything we can throw
at it."
The cities of Jacksonville
Beach and Neptune Beach do
not man specific shelters and
instead set up operations at
locations in Jacksonville.
Jacksonville Beach Fire
Chief and Emergency
Management Coordinator
Gary Frazier said that the city
used to operate a Red Cross
shelter but has decided not to
in recent years.
"You can't guarantee it for
family members. And if you
can't do that, it makes it sort
of tough," Frazier-said.

STAFF WRITER
Hurricane shelters are.
designed as a last resort,
according to Christian Smith,'
director of public support for.
the Northeast Florida Red
Cross. .
"Shelters are. available to
everyone but we always rec-
ommend to stay with, family
or friends first because you'll
be more comfortable there,"
said Smith, who was part '.of
the relief effort in Mississippi
after Hurricane Katrina.-" And
don't wait until, the last
minute to leave. I remember
before Floyd the mayor [of
Jacksonville] was on the news
and said he. was going to
order mandatory evacuation
in the morning. That night
the roads were clear. At 5 a.m.
the next morning the roads
'were clear. But by 7 a.m. the
traffic Was heavy and by 9
a.m. it was' total gridlock.


Anyone who 'can leave, early
should for their own conven-
Sience and so that emergency
Crews can get through."
'Those who opt to stay in
local shelters can expect three,
meals a day, water'arid .basic,
. first aid. People should bring"
'their personal disaster relief,
kit including toiletries,' cloth-,
ming,. bedding and personal
identification. No alcohol or,
weapons are allowed in shel-
ters. Air mattresses. are
, allowed but can take up more
space than blankets or sleep-
ing bags. .
Evacuiees are given approxi-'
miately .10 square feet of space,
per person which can become
crowded in a" shelter at full
capacity. During Hurricane
Floyd in 1999 Northeast
Florida Red Cross housed
10,000 people in shelters. The
primary shelter.locations that
'service the Beaches are
Landmark Middle School,


Sabal Palm Elementary School
and Twin Lakes Academy.
"People often pick shelters
that are closest to their
homes, but it's always good to
pick other shelter locations,"
Smith said. "The shelters clos-
est to the Beaches fill up
much faster. Last time [during
Floyd] we wdre at full capacity
at 1,000 people at one shelter
'when just 10 mile -down the
road there were only 300 pep-
.ple in. a shelter."
Up to three pets per house-
hold will also be allowed in
another section of the .shel-
ters. Northeast Florida Red
Cross. is not responsible for
pets but' specific guidelines
will be available through
Animal Control. Smith said
some of the guidelines
include registering pets in
advance for those who plan to
stay in a. shelter during an
, evacuation and providing
* vaccination records, food and


water. [More information will
be released through
Jacksonville Emergency
Management 630-2472.]
"In a shelter; environment
you can get really bored so
bring things like books, toys
or games," Smith said. "And I
know some people would like
to work so if you are interest-
. ed in working at a shelter call
now (904-358-8091) so you
can go through'the training."
The Northeast Florida Red
Cross Chapter serves 10
,counties in Northeast Florida
and Southeast Georgia, mak-
ing it the largest chapter in
Florida. Information on hur-
ricane preparedness is also
available on the chapter web-
site at www.nefloridared-
cross.org. '
"We've heard all the horror
stories but. having a plan. and
being prepared will help in a
disaster situation," Smith
said.


History: September is busiest month of season


Cont. from page 3'
A concrete seawall, at 32nd 'Avenue
South in Jacksorfville Beach was
breached and high winds plaYed havoc
'witl the, boardwalkk, daniaging a steel
fetris wheel and'both the Jacksonville
Beach and Atlantic Beachi wooden fish-
ing piers. .
In 1947,, a Category 4 storm that
struck Pompano and caused a 21.6-foot
storm surge in Clewisfon killed 51 and
resulted in $704 million in' damages.
The bulkhead in Neptune Beach wa$
breached. In a photo, Navy; sailors are.
sandbagging the area.
And then there was' Dora' in
September-1964. .
The Categoryv2 hurricane made land-
fall near St. Augustine with peak winds
of 125 mph. Maximum storm surge was
12 feet. .
: Dora did more.than.$250 million in
damages ($1 billion iii 1990 numbers,
,dumping more than 10 inches of rain
in Northeast Florida and 23 inches near
Gainesville.
'Coming off the -heels of Hurricane'
Cleo, "Dora struck the Florida coast at a
near 90-degree angle from the east of


St-. Augustire," according to "Florida
.Hurricanes and -Tropical Storms."
It was the first hurricane, to do'so,
north ofE Stuart,, since the Great
Hurricane oft 1880."
.At the Beaches, Dora's effects includ-.
ed a storm surge of '10 feet; causing.
extensive beach erosion. Some roads
were washed out, including a 2-mile
stretch of State. Road A1A south of
lernandina Beach .
. Both fishing piers at the beach sus-
tained major damage., The 1,200-foot-
long Jacksonville Beach pier was.
clipped by more than 600 feet.'' '
The Atlantic Beach pier also lost more
than half of its decking. .
The Atlantic Beach Hotel and an
adjoining residence also suffered major
danlage.
" President Lyndon -Johnson surveyed
Storm damage near 12 Avenue South in
Jacksonville Beach with' state, and local
dignitaries in tow.,. -.
A hurricane .watch was -issued for.
-most of Florida's East Coast in Auguist
1996, as Hurricane Fran, a Category. 3'
storm, passed offshore. .
The Greater Jacksonville Kingfish


Tournament was postponed earlier 'that
summer for similar precautions.
The first storm to ever mandate a
mandatory evacuation of the Beaches
was Hurricane' Floyd i'n Septemnbier
1999.
The eye of the Category 3 storm
passed within 90 miles of Jacksonville
Beach. Waves of more thann 25 feet
pounded the Jacksonville Beach pier
before the. wooden structure broke
. apart in two pieces.
Floyd was am6ng, the largest hurri-
canes of its strength ever recorded. It
ranked ninth among the 10 most costly
U.S. hurricanes before the record-break-
ing 2005 hurricane season';'
Predicting where a hurricane might
make landfall is still an educated guess.,
One thing is-for certain: September
seems to be the busiest month of hurri-
cane -season, according to National
"Oceanic & Atmospheric
Administration. Before 2005, 36 of the
64 storms classified as major hurri-
canes, occurred in September, including
Dora in 1964 and Floyd in 1999.
