Charter query

Commissioners
ask opinion of
Attorney General
on proposed
document
by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The St. Johns Board of
County Commissioners
Tuesday agreed to ask for a
state opinion on a proposed
county charter, but a group of
residents promoting the char-
ter called the move a stall tac-
tic.
"I think this is a delay, and
it's unnecessary," said Clara
Cowan, president of the Pol
Vedra Beaches Coalitic
which started the charter i
tiative.
"In the end it is

has to be voted

Bryant said in Tuesday's meet-

"I think it should be a com-

Another way to get the char-
ter on the ballot is through a
special act passed by the state
legislature.
The citizens group pushing
for the charter has asked com-
missioners to support a special
act, but in his presentation
Tuesday, Bosanko was unpre-
pared to give any information
on that process to commission-
ers.
"I can't say that's not an
option it's just a very unusu-
al option," Bosanko said.
According to Tina McGough,
head of the citizens group that
drafted the charter, "special
law is not that uncommon."
McGough said a delegation
of local state representatives
would need to sponsor the
charter draft in
order for the entire

Commissioner backs opponents
for seats held by Maguire, Stern
,,, by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
St. Johns County Commissioner Ben Rich has
endorsed two candidates, each of whom is challeng-
ing a seated commissioner up for reelection this year.
All are Republicans.
Each of the endorsed candidates is far outstripped
by the incumbent in campaign contributions.
Rich, who often butts heads with the other four
county commissioners on matters of development,
has formally announced his support for Tom
Manuel, who wants to replace Bruce Maguire of
Ponte Vedra Beach, and Ron Sanchez, who is seeking
the seat occupied by Karen Stern of St. Augustine.
Maguire is from District 4, which includes most of
Ponte Vedra, and Stern is from District 2 in
Southwest St. Johns County.
Although commissioners must reside in the dis-
trict to which they are elected, each is elected by vot-
ers countywide.
"I have serious-issues with the present commission
regarding its blanket approval of mega-development
in St. Johns County," Rich said in an interview
Tuesday.
Rich said the voting records of both Maguire and
Stern show they voted to approve about 99 percent
of developments that came before the board.
Ron Sanchez
,"' --;: :
Tom Manuel
"The developers fund these people," Rich said.
"Their voting records, in my opinion, reflect a gen-
uine bias."
Stern and Maguire were in a County Commission
meeting Tuesday and could not be reached for com-
ment.
According to Supervisor of Elections records from
late July, Sanchez had received a total of $4,935 in
campaign contributions, compared with $151,620 for
Stern.
Manuel had collected $4,050, compared with
Maguire's $73,825.
In interviews Tuesday, both Manuel and Sanchez
said they agree with Rich and welcome his endorse-
ment.
"I think Mr. Rich has a following, and I think that
endorsement will help," said Manuel, who held a
joint press conference with Rich last week to make
the announcement.
Sanchez said he does not take campaign contribu-
tions from developers and thinks the voting records
of Maguire and Stern are proof enough of their bias.
"I think 99 percent is pretty conclusive," he said.
In a candidate forum in May at a meeting of the
Palm Valley Community Association, both Stem and
Maguire said they have worked hard over the past

St. Augustine has been select-
ed by AAA travel editors as one
of the 10 most "walkable" cities
in North America on a list com-
piled in response to increasing
gasoline prices.
The list is meant to help
vacationers enjoy their time
away from home in destina-

instead of burning fuel, accord-
ing to a news release from AAA.
"The top 10 cities include
places for every type of travel-

"The true beauty of these

Jacksonville Beach police are
stepping up visibility in the
city's downtown district as part
of a zero-tolerance approach to
a recent rash of violent crime,
including the first homicide in
Jacksonville Beach this year.
In a crackdown from
Thursday through Sunday,
called Operation Clean Sweep
II, 52 arrests were made, most-
ly for misdemeanor charges
such as possession of marijua-
na or driving with a suspended
license, said Sgt. Tom
Bingham, spokesman for the
department.
"It went fantastic," Bingham
said of the special detail. "We
think that the increased police
presence and all the publicity
that went out really helped get
the message out."
During the operation, the
department's Special
Operations Van was set up as a
mobile command center in the
municipal parking lot between
First and Second streets north,
where the majority of the bars
and night clubs are located.
Bingham said 13 persons
were arrested on Thursday, 17
on Friday, 14 on Saturday and
eight on Sunday. One felony
arrest was made for carrying a
concealed firearm, he said.
"The crowds on Thursday
and Sunday were sparse," he
said. "There was a normal level
of activity for a Friday and
Saturday night. For the most
part, it was very calm."
Bingham said the effort stuc-
cessfully mitigated recent prob-
lems with large, primarily

Charter:
Cont. from A-1
Stern said she received a few
phone calls over the weekend
from some of the area's state
representatives who told her
they were "not inclined" to
support a special act.
However, Cowan said after
Tuesday's meeting that she
had personally visited several
legislators including Bill
Proctor, Dick Kravitz, Stephen
Wise and Don Davis and
they voiced their support of
the initiative.-
A charter initiative
appeared on St. Johns County
ballots in 1998 but was reject-
ed by voters.
According to members of
the citizens group promoting
the new charter, that last ini-
tiative died for lack.of support
from constitutional officers,
whose authority would have
been affected by it.
Maguire said he received a
call from one constitutional
officer who was worried that
the new charter would again
change the authority of his
office.
Maguire would not say who
the call was from, but the per-
son asked Maguire to post-
pone any voting on the sub-
ject until the constitutional
officers could get involved in
the discussion, Maguire said.
Cowan said members of the
charter group have also met
with all the constitutional
officers and discussed the pro-
posed charter.
Cowan said all the officers
seemed to be on board with
the initiative.
"I think it was obvious that
Commissioner Stern and
Commissioner Bryant are
quite opposed to this,"
Cowan said.
"I don't see the problem
with them accepting the work
that has been done."

POLICE ON SITE: Parked squarely in downtown
Jacksonville Beach Thursday through Sunday,
Jacksonville Beach Police Department's Mobile.
Command Center made it clear to all that the police
presence in the area would not be ignored. In addition,
many officers from the three Beach police departments
patrolled the streets to maintain order following two
shootings the previous weekend. The increased police
presence is commendable and reassuring to residents
and merchants. Plans are to continue the presence as
needed to safeguard the area. The mobile unit is locat-

To the editor:
Chutzpa is defined as unmitigated effrontery,
impudence or gall, an expression more frequent-
ly heard up north but most apropos right here in
Ponte Vedra. It took gallons of chutzpa to write
a letter to the editor ("Deadline approaching", 8-
2-06 Leader) proposing that voters engage in dis-
honesty. The suggestion was made that voters
should flip-flop their party registration in order
to vote in the primary of a part)' of which they
are not a member and then return to their true
party affiliation for the November election.
For heaven's sake, lady, if you're a Democrat,

Protect the franchise
To the editor:
Registration of a nonr
Republican candidate for
county commissioner in
District 4 effectively disenfran-
chised voters from any other
party registration from voting
for a Republican candidate.
The vote for any qualified
Republican candidate for
county commissioner was thus
restricted to registered
Republicans.
Protecting the franchise in
District 4 of St. Johns County is
a concern every four years. In
2002, the race for county com-
missioner was restricted to reg-
istered Republicans when
Douglas Laidlaw qualified as a
candidate. In 2006 history is
repeated with the unexpected
11th-hour qualification of
Richard Olszewski as a write-in
candidate.
It is unethical to change
party registration simply to
vote for or against a candidate.
But this is the option that is
presented--even suggested by
letters and by editorial com-
ment. Republican voters in St.
Johns County have achieved a
monopoly when they exercise
their right to \ote for a District
4 candidate.
The challenge in the days
before the September 5 pri-
mary election is the evaluation
,of the commitment of Tom
Manuel and the evaluation of
the commitment of Bruce
Maguire. Which one is best "
qualified to serve the citizens
of St. Johns County'?
Money should not be the
deciding factor but both candi-
dates must get their message to
the voters. Manuel reported
$2,050 contributions received
as of June 30. Maguire report-
ed $48,525 contributions'
received as of the same period.
Both candidates have pre-
sented their qualifications and
their records at numerous can-
didate forums. Qualifications
of both have been reported in
The Leader, by reporter, Laura
Fowler. Qualifications of each
are; summarized in the St.
Johns County Supervisor of

is so weak that you need Democrats and
Independents to game the political party system,
get another candidate.
The argument that, because the issues before
the Commission impact our quality of life and
tax bills, we should have non-partisan elections
is just plain silly. With that logic, we'd have no
parties at all. If a charter government means
crossover voting, that's a good reason not to
have one!
If I haven't made myself dear, your advice is a
cynical mockery of our political system.

Pay substitute teachers better
To the editor:
It's a new school year and the
Duval County School Board is
to be commended for raising
the wages for teachers, para-
professionals and clerical staff.
They will receive a 20 percent
increase over the next two
years.
This will be my fourth year
as a substitute teacher, so I have
spent a lot of time in several
schools. I know from experi-
ence how much most of these
dedicated people go over and
beyond their duties to make
our schools better. I wonder
how many parents know how
much substitute teachers are
paid when they are called to go
into a classroom to teach,
when a teacher is absent. -
First, you should know what
is required to become a substi-
tute teacher.One must have at
least 60 hours college credits
and attend a 6-hour class. Also,
applicants undergo a. EB.I.
background check which costs
$60, and is paid for by the
applicant.
SThe hourly pay for a substi-
tute teacher is $8 an hour. With.
a Bachelor's degree a substitute
teacher receives $10 an hour,
and with a Master's degree the
pay increases to $10.85. T1he
school board hasn't increased
wages for substitute teachers
for at least 5 years, maybe
longer. As everyone knows, the
cost of living has skyrocketed
-from where it was then. For
some perspective; with $8 1)
you can go to a movie but you
can't have popcorn, or 2) get 2
gallons of gas and a fountain
drink, or 3) sometimes, you
can find a place to get a hair-
cut, (with a coupon).
For what substitute teachers
do, $ 8 an hour is inadequate.
Good substitute teachers are
an integral part in the educa-
tion process. Why have they
not been included in salary
increases with everyone else,
including the school board?.

BEAM says thanks for assisting school kids
To the editor:
It has been one week since the 2006 Beach to
School with BEAM was held on Saturday, July.
29. The program was as remarkable this year as it
has been for the past 12 years thanks to the gen-
erous, giving nature of the Beaches and West
Beaches community.
Over 230 volunteers participated in the total
program. Some volunteers helped put together
825 school supply bags, some painted pencil
boxes, others set up for the event and then
helped 825 children and their families shop at
Back to School with BEAM.
Some ran the Back to School show department
while other volunteers helped reset the lovely,
new Family Life Center.
Over $25,000 has been collected to date so
that BEAM could provide all children with new
backpacks, school supplies, personalized pencil
boxes, socks, underwear and shoe vouchers.
In addition, more than 200 children received
dental care on the Smile Express dental van as
part of the Back to School program.
BEAM is extremely appreciative to all who
gave their time, clothing, backpacks, school sup-
plies and financial support for this annual event.
The Beaches community is unequaled in its
commitment to the betterment of our neigh-
bors.
The cumulative record shows just how'amaz-
ing the Beaches community is. In 13 years of
Back to School with BEAM, 10,067 children have
been helped, 91,938 items of clothing have been
given away, more than 2,046 volunteers have
helped make the .event happen and $218,629
has been .donated to ensure the success of the
program.
Thank you Beaches and West Beaches for your
volunteer and financial support of BEAM and
Back to School with BEAM. In addition, BEAM is
extremely thankful for the tremendous coverage
and commitment of editor Kathy Bailey and The
Leader to Back to School with BEAM.
Without the. exposure that The Leader pro-
vides, Back to School with BEAM would have lit-
tle chance to assist the children and families it
helps. So thank you for the tremendous job you
do, Beaches Leader! And a warm and special trib-
ute to all of our caring beach friends!

T""he national adult bever-
age in Cuba when I was.
there 50 years ago was
arguably the Cuba:Libre
(ingredients: rum and Coke).
As I write this, Cuban presi-
dent Fidel Castro is alleged to
be recovering from serious sur-
gery. If he passes on, I imagine.
there will be many a celebra-
tory Cuba Libre (translation:
"free Cuba") quaffed in ,
Miami.
-A big question, however, is
What would happen here if
Cuba then opened up for'.
American tourism? Quien
sabe? -(Who knows?) My
hunch is that there would be
a cavalry charge of epic pro-
portions as thundering herds
of Americans, especially
Floridians, headed there to
enjoy a vacation in a groovy
place that's only 90 miles .
aw'y fryom ouir shore-1o.
I do know this: I would like
to resee the island, but prefer-
ably at the rates that prevailed
in 1956 B.C. (before Castro).
My well-thumbed copy of
now-defunct Pan American
Airways' World Guide from
back then includes mind-
blowing luxury hotel rates.
The plush Nacional de Cuba
in Havana charged $18 to $27
per night, single. Other first-
class accommodations there'
went for anywhere from $17
to $6. (You could add around
$7 per day for meals.)
Yet, those amounts were for
one room. My wife and; I
along with another couple
stayed at an apartment hotel
,called the Rosita de Hornedo.
In our suite, there were two
swanky bedrooms, each with
bath, a kitchen (which ve
didn't use--restaurants were
too cheap), maid's quarters,
and a posh living room with a
balcony overlooking the blue-
green ocean. The total tab per
day for the four of us was $30!
I still have my checkout bill.
Of course, expecting 1956
.hotel room rates would be
bushwah even if George W.
were to let us go. The Italian
worldwide reservation website
venere.com shows that the
Cuban charges have jumped
like a kangaroo on steroids.
The current room cost for the
National is $160. There are a
few rock-bottom flop facili-
ties, one with rooms as low as
$44, but maybe the running
water comes from the ceiling
and the elevator does the
rumba.
For Jaxons, I visualize.
instead a Carnival cruise ship
sailing from here, full of
Gators; Jaguars, and other
Bold City wildlife anxious to
sample the wild life on the
south end of the Florida
Straits. If those pulsating
Latin performances are still
on at nighteries such as the
Tropicana and the Sans Souci,
y'all wouldn't be disappoint-
ed. Bring your own bongos.
Lengthy letters may
be edited as space
requires.
We will not consider
letters that do not
bear a signature and
address and we
request a phone num-
ber for verification.

To the editor:.
Mark your calendars for
Monday August 14, 7 p.m.
to be at the Jacksonville
Beaches Planning
Commission Meeting at JB
City Hall. Then plan to
attend the JB; City Council
Meeting oni Tuesday
September 5, also at 7 p.m.
and also at the JB City Hall.
Competition. This is what
makes for great choices and
price options. For too long
the Beaches have been held
captive to a rather slow
evolving community. Today,
like it or not the sleepy
Beach ,community I was
raised in is a distant past.
Specifically, if you live at
either end of the Beaches,
you have three .primary
choices for your construc-
tion and home improve-
ment needs; Drive west and
cross the "Ditch" to Girven
Road and Atlantic Blvd, or
cross the "Ditch" on JTB to
Southside' Blvd. The local
choice is convenient, but
seems to not have the choic-,
es the other national retail-
ers offer, and they do not
offer any price match or
lowest :price guarantees!
Who cares? I do!
Change. I for one will not
only appreciate having a
national, very competitive
retailer here at the Beaches,
it will save me money. Gas
prices are not going to go
back down and every mile
less I have to drive by hav-
ing national choices right.
here at the Beaches is money
in my pocket.
Having a national retailer
right in qur community yji)i
change ..u"r., buying' ,)a bii&
and effect demographics, for
sure. However having a
vacant retail space is also a
change I did not like and
that brings a whole different
set of issues, over the long
run.v Land options are at'a
limited premium. in our
Beaches communities, and
having access to a national
price competitive, retailer
that will take a vacant loca-
tion instead of building a
new. one gets my vote! I will
agree, not all change is per-
ceived as good, but this one
will also have a safety factor
to help meet the needs of
impending Hurricane disas-
ters by having more supplies
available for any given emer-
gency!
,More Choices. This is one
of those silly things that
make America Great! We
have choices most other
countries .do not 'have. Do
we need a financial location
on every corner? Probably
not, but then again, if there
was not a market for such
competition, rest assured
they would not be here. The
same' is true for
Convenience Stores, and Gas
stations. It is simply called
supply and demand!_
In closing .there are those
that believe this new nation-
al retailer will bring Doom
and Gloom' to our area.
Reduce property values,
increase crime and cause
traffic problems. The City of
JB, by mandate, secures a
Traffic Study for this type of
infrastructure addition, and
that study is public knowl-
edge. To the naysayers, the
study shows no real increase
in traffic concerns. How can
.that be? Well, for one there
are three primary entrances
into the South Beach SC,
and one secondary entrance,
totaling four entrances. The
traffic light on A1A is right
at the entrance to' the center
and exit ramps to JTB,
quelling the fears of "town-
ies" crossing the "ditch" to
shop at "our" location. Who
wins, other than the retailer
and people who want this?
The JB tax base will increase
(better for all of us) and
approximately 150 new jobs
will be available. Works for
me!

Support Home Depot for Jax Beach
To the editor:
I must reply to Mr. Dean
Thompson's vitriolic letter
against Home Depot.. He
seems to be' everywhere,
against everything. He is
against Wal-Mart in Neptune
Beach, citing very much the
same statistics he does in his
anti-Home Depot letters. And
why would that be? He does-
n't live in Neptune Beach,
does he? His letter says Jax
Beach. Why is he worried
about Neptune? If he is look-
ing to keep the "laid back
beach town atmosphere" I
hate to tell him. That's long
gone. We lost all that when
the city condemned land and
sold it to developers to use for
what they wanted. We now
have monstrosities springing
up everywhere there's a square
inch of space. If I see some-
thing else condeniried for yet
another condo. high rise, I
think I'll be ill. :
Home Depot doesn't
belong? Well, where better
does it belong, than along the
beach, with hurricanes?,
During the threat of even a
large storm somewhere out.
there, many people panic and
hit the road. 6 miles? Well
maybe he lives at City Hall,
but a lot of beaci people are a
lot further away. And have
you seen the roads when all
these people are out there, try-
ing to find their supplies?
While Mr. Thompson may
have all needed supplies stock-
piled, -an awful lot of people.
don't. They don't have, the
money to waste on extras -
just inrcase. They're trying to
live day to, day. And what
about handicapped people?
Fighting crowds, trying to pre-
pare, etc. can cost someone
their life. Does he not care
that perhaps they need their
supplies close to home? And
where is the pride in living at
the Beaches and shopping at
the Beaches?
N..! ,t_..t.~ p o. ,tb ? f f
gaso ine., .U you, really,,want
to sit in traffic for who knows
how long, to get to Arlington,
only to find they are out of all
the things you need? How
expensive is that, especially
for those of us on fixed
incomes? All those nervous
Nellies are going to be on the
road either escaping the storm
, or trying to find their emer-
gency supplies. While Mr.
Thompson may be able to
afford all the gas he wants for
his SUV, a lot of us only get
out when we have to, due to
the high price of gasoline.
How does Mr. Thompson
know all the "facts" he cited.
in his letter? More people to
,the shopping center means
that more people will shop in
the other stores. Hubby goes
to Home Depot, wife goes to
Stein-Mart. Where is Mr.
Thompson getting these
"facts" he so blatantly spouts?
SAnd landscaping and park-
ing places? Where does Mr.
Thompson get his. "facts" ?
Does he make them up out of
whole cloth? Well, I suppose
if you are adamant enough,
you can. say most anything
you'd like.
Home Depot has already
said they would put in a buffer
zone between the business
behind their store, for loading
'purposes. What else does Mr.
Thompson want?
Day laborers? Haven't you,
Mr. Thompson; been aware of
the homeless problem we in
Jacksonville Beach have? Do I
hear you advocating for
homeless shelters anywhere?
Nope. Just your nose-in- the-
air superior attitude. And at
least, the day laborers are try-
ing to work!
Noise? Have you been in
the shopping center lately,
and hear the noise from all
the boom boxes,, traffic and
people shouting? One more
noise, more or less, isn't going-
to make a difference: You can
hear all the heavy traffic,'
sirens, etc., from the shopping
Sceter,:0 what's the big ,~lalT
S ipce ifome Depot opeos
quite early, most of the supply
trucks will be unloading their
wares long before'most other
retailers are getting out of bed.
So, what other retailers
would be vying for this space
that Mr. Thompson thinks is
prime real estate? So far, the
old K-Mart still sits empty, and
even with the new store occu-
pying the space Food Lion was
in, and all the customers of
SStein-Mart and Bealls, it's still
a shabby shopping center, in
comparison to the other side
of JTB.
Have you, Mr. Thompson,
visited all the Home Depots
arid discovered that each and
every one of them are stand-
alones? No? Well, you
shouldn't say something you
can't backup.
We do have a responsibility
and obligation to allow Home
Depot. For the services they
provide that are uniquely
beach driven. San Marco
doesn't need the plywood and
plastic sheeting and genera-
tors like we at the beach do.
But then, if they built in San
Marco, I'm ,sure, Mr.
Thompson would have some-
thing to say about that as well.
As to evacuations If the
beach is shut down;' Home
Depot too, will shut down. So
what extra traffic will they be
interfering with?
Classy, upscale, quiet and
neat shopping center. Well,
quiet is the operative word.
So many businesses have left
that shopping center since it
was too "quiet" .to make
money. We should be glad for
Home Depot to be here, rather
than excoriate its existence.
Home Depot's presence will
encourage me to shop the cen-
ter more frequently, as I pick

To the editor:
Please Get Involved--
Attend the Jax Beach city
council meeting on Aug. 14,
at 7 p.m at City Hall on
Third street to express your
interest in Home Depot
being approved for the old
K-Mart location.
The people opposed to
this will be out in force as
they usually are.
It's time for all of the hun-
dreds of you who have
signed petitions saying you
want a Home Depot in
Jacksonville Beach, to get
involved.
All of you, who rarely go
to a Planning Commission
meeting or Council meeting,
need to attend this meeting
in mass, the opponent's will.
In the meantime write, e-
mail or call all the members
of the City Council and
express your desire to have,a
Home Depot in Jacksonville
Beach.
To the editor:
Well there he goes again. I
am sick and tired of Mr Dean
Thompson's letter complaining
about the possibility of a Home
Depot store ruining his pristine
neighborhood.' As far as I
know, a Home Depot has never
ruined anyone's neighbor-.
hood, ,
SI, and I'm sure many folks,
like me, would love to have a
store with Home Depot's track
record come to the Beaches. If
Mr. Thompson is worried
about increased traffic, it's a-
sign of the times. Get over it or
maybe consider moving to
Baldwin or Hilliard.
The more choices we have
here at the Beaches of various
types of stores is good for the
area. I've been a Jax Beach resi-
dent since 1955 and the less I
have to cross the ditch to do
ANY type of shopping the bet-
ter I like it.

of the Sand Castle Shopping
Center in South Jacksonville
Beach to unite and come
together 'as.aa group to the
Jacksonville Beach Planning
Commission meeting on
Monday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. at
the Jacksonville Beach City
Hall to show, your support for
Home Depot.
Many .of you have stated
that Home Depot would be a
great asset to your businesses.
Also on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 7
p.m. at the Jacksonville Beach
City Hall you will need to
make your voices heard.
Home Depof will be a great
addition to the mix of stores,
bringing' additional shoppers
in to the center. At the same
time, a traffic study done by
Jacksonville Beach shows no
additional .traffic on 3rd
Street. '
Home Depot will be a finan-
cial asset to the city, paying
taxes on a vacant store, creat-
ing 150 good paying jobs and
being a good neighbor.
Show your support for
Home Depot by letting your
clients know that you support
them.

JB eases
rules on
operating
a taxi
by LIZA MITCHELL
STIFF WRITER
Operating a cab ,in'
Jacksonville Beach just got a
little easier. The City Council
Monday approved an ordi-
nance eliminating the public
hearing process required for
taxi drivers to operate within
city limits.
The prior ordinance
required potential taxi opera-
tors to file an 'application
with the city clerk's office
and appear at a hearing
before the City Council to
obtain a certificate of con-
venience and necessity..
Each vehicle, was also
required to be inspected
every 90 days by a certified
automobile mechanic and be
available every 90 'days for
inspection by the police
department.
According to the new ordi-
nance, the city will accept
the medallion issued by the
City of lacksonville *and"
require drivers to follow
insurance guidelines outlined
by the state.
Operators must still obtain
a local business tax receipt
from Jacksonville Beach in
addition to the approval from
Jacksonville.
"For years to get a certifi-
cate' of need [taxi operators]
had to go before the City
Council for a public hearing
just to do business in
Jacksonville Beach," City'
Manager George Forbes said.
"We will still require a busi-
ness tax license from
Jacksonville Beach but this
greatly simplifies .the
process."
The inspection schedule
was deemed "antiquated"
and not considered "reason-
able requirements" given the
dependability of the average
car and the manpower
required to conduct .the
inspections, city officials
said.
All taxi cab operators must
keep in the vehicle a copy of
the business tax receipt, vehi-
cle for hire permit issued by
the Jacksonville Department
of Environmental and
Regulatory Services, current
inspection permits, Florida
drivers license and state regis-
tration and insurance.'
The council, amended the
insurance liability require-
ments from $100,000 to
$125,000 in accordance with
recent changes to the state's
insurance policies for taxi
operators.

It takes a certain amount of
courage to swim a mile or
two in the ocean.
It also takes a considerable
amount of nerve to sponsor
an ocean swim.
The HammerHead Triathlon
Club, also known as
HammerHead Racing, mitigat-
ed some of the risk of treading
in deep water during
Saturday's HammerHead
Ocean Marathon.
HHR, founded at the
Beaches in November 1999,
provided bright orange buoys
and a flotilla of lifeguards for'
the inaugural event, which :
featured swim distances of 2.5
and 1.24 miles in length.;
More than 100 brave souls
(73 in the long course, 52 in
the short) turned out for the
event, which ended near the
Jacksonville Beach pier.
A disclaimer on the entry
form warned the weak of
heart: "This is not the time to
test your open water skills for
the first time!"
Ocean swimming is nothing
like pool swimming. The sea is
never-entirely flat. Waves tend
to knock swimmers off course,
and off their stroke.
Jellyfish stings are also quite
common.
And no matter how hard
you try, you can never swim
the course in a straight line.
Proficiency in pool swim-
ming is measured by a stop-
watch. Ocean swimming is
also a timed event, but its
reward can't be measured in-
just increments of'time. :
Finishing is an accomplish-.
ment in itself.
Former Beaches realtor and
swimming enthusiast
Townsend Hawkes created the
Kiwanis Oce~ n Maiathoi in'
1985 as an alternative to the
lifeguard-only Meninak Ocean
Marathon.
The Kiwanis Club of the
Beaches sponsored the annual
event until 2004.
The HammerHeads took
over this year, led by the
mother/daughter team of
Susan and Chrissy Wallis.
Susan Wallis is a founder of
the 200-member triathlon
club and its current president.

once finished as high as
fourth overall in the Meninak
Swim and was the second
female overall in the Kiwanis
Swim as recently as.2003.
Their athletic credentials
alone ensured the success of
Saturday's event.
As for me, my time won't
go down in any record books.
My training existed of 1,500
yards at the UNF pool three
Says before the event.. That's
hardly peak conditioning.
My first goal was to finish.
My second goal was not to be
lapped by the leaders.
Some goals die easier than
others.
SThelong course leaders
i passed me as I was nearing the
.finishing buoy and I had a
1.25-mile head start.
One guy whisked by me like
a submarine on a torpedo run.
And I never managed to pass
that elderly lady in the white
bathing cap.
Swimming is the great
eqttalizer. You don't need the
body of Adonis or the figure
of a "Baywatch" girl to swim
long distances in the ocean. It.
just takes training and the
' 1erve''toleave the security of'
the shoreline for an hour or
so.
And age isn't a factor.
-Saturday's'youngest swimmer
was 11. The oldest was 68.
Next year, I may tackle the
longer distance, something I
haven't done in more than a
decade.
Then again, I may just try
to improve on this year's tur-
tle-like pace of 59 minutes.
And hope the leaders don't
lap me again.

B ed and Breakfast estab-
lishments are known for
gracious atmosphere, the
hospitality of their innkeep-
ers, and, of course, breakfasts
served in memorable sur-
roundings.
Joe Finnegan, owner of the
,St. Francis Inn and the Casa"
De Solana,:both in St.
Augustine, and his culinary
director, Gary Douylliez, agree
that guests believe that the
first meal of the day is an
integral part of the the B&B
experience.
SFood plays a large role in
the hospitality of the two his-
toric inns.
Douylliez prepares a
Southern-style buffet for
breakfast.
In addition to lighter items,
hot dishes such as Citrus
Pancakes or French Toast
Casserole are served.
His signature "1791.
Granola" is also a popular
part of the morning fare.
The St.Francis Inn is the
oldest establishment of its
kind in St. Augustine, dating"
to 1791.
The granola is also on sale
to the public.
In the relaxed setting of a
Bed and Breakfast, Finnegan
said, "Food is the vehicle that
brings guests together."
In his 10-plus years as an
innkeeper, Finnegan said he
has observed how food events
enhance a guest's experiences.
Most Bed & Breakfasts have
smaller public rooms for serv-
ing breakfast and refresh-
ments than hotels do.
The more intimate setting
makes it easier to get to know
t* theother guests.
Bed & Breakfasts also offer
guests who want more priva-
cy the ability to do that, too.
With food bringing them
together; guests often share
travel tips and information,
talk about their hometowns,
and sometimes build friend-
ships that last beyond their
stay, according to Finnegan.
At the St. Francis Inn and
the Casa De Solana, Finnegan
and Douylliez offer three
daily meals.
With a kitchen on site at
the St. Francis Inn, Douylliez
handles food.service for both
inns and can, accommodate
requests from the guests for
birthday cakes, picnic baskets,
and other specialties.
Douylliez, who previously
owned two restaurants in
Green Cove Springs, has sev-.
eral years of experience in the
hospitality and food service
industry.
His grandmother, however,
receives the credit for teach-
ing him how to cook, he said.
In addition to a Southern-
style breakfast buffet,
Douylliez prepares a variety of
appetizers and desserts to be
served later in the day a the
inns.
In the late afternoon, guests
can gather for an evening
social with beverages and
appetizers. A little later in the
Evening, desserts with coffee
or tea are served.
It is quite common for
guests to ask for Douylliez's
breakfast, dessert, and appe-
tizer recipes. He and Finnegan
make sure that copies of cur-
rent recipes are available at
the front desk.
Douylliez describes his
recipe for Cinnamon Pecan
French Roast Casserole as
"sinful."
He starts with refrigerated
cinnamon roll dough for the
casserole arid bakes it with a
combination of eggs and
whipping cream flavored with
vanilla and more cinnamon.
Pecans and pancake syrup
top the casserole before it
bakes. The finishing touch

School Board considers
pay hikes for teachers
FROM CONTRIBUTOR
The St. Johns County School
Board was expected to consider
pay hikes for teachers and
non-teaching personnel at the
board's meeting at 6 p.m. Aug.
8.
The teachers' union the
St. Johns Education
Association- ratified the two-
year contract last week, and
votes of the St. Johns School
Support Association were still
being counted Tuesday.
The teachers' contract
includes 5 percent pay raises
for the school year that began
Friday, percent raises next
year and a 1 percent increase
for extended summer supple-
mental pay net July. ,
According to the agreement,
the starting salary for a teacher
with a bachelor's degree will be
$35,400 this year. At the end of
that year, teachers with the
most seniority and a bachelor's
degree will earn a minimum of
$56,200 per year. Teachers
with advanced degrees will
earn more.
At the end of the two-year
cofitract, the starting salary for
a teacher with a bachelor's
degree will be $38,000.
Teachers with the most senior-
ity will earn a minimum of
$58,200, and those .with
advanced degrees will earn
more.
The District Self-Insured
Employee Health Benefit Plan
will continue, with the district
contributing an additional 5
percent.
"Besides the 13 percent raise,
we made gains in the areas of
health care, retirement options
and Medicaid billing," said
Debby Etheredge, president of
the teachers' union. "This
agreement will keep us moving
toward more progressive
salaries for the district's teach-
ers."
The union represents more
than 1,600 instructional per-
sonnel in the School District
including teachers, media spe-
cialists, guidance counselors,
deans and psychologists.
Salaries would also improve
for non-instructiorial employ-
ees if that group's union and
the School Board both ratified
the contract.
That two-year contract
would increase salaries by a
total of 13 percent for the dis-
trict's more than 1,200 clerical
staff, bus drivers, custodians,
maintenance, food setrice and
other support staff.
Eligible employees would
advance on salary steps on
their employment anniversary
dates.
St. Johns' County schools
Superintendent Joseph Joyner
said he was "extremely
pleased" with the agreements.

FROM CONTRIBUTOR
The student count for St.
lohns County Public Schools
on opening day Friday was
22,579, an increase of 909 stu-
dents about 4 percent -
over last year's first day enroll-
ment figure of 21,670.
Among the approximately
1,700 teachers, 216 are new to
the St. Johns County School
District this year.
High school enrollment was
7,060, with 2,40' students at
Bartram Trail High School in
Northwest St. Johns County,
2,001 at Nease High School,
attended by most Ponte Vedra
teens, 1,296 at Pedro
Menendez High School south
of St. Augustine, 1.146 at St.
Augustine High School and
210 at St. Johns Technical High
School i.SITHSi.
SITHS is located on the cam-
pus of First Coast Technical
Institute in St. Augustine and
offers academic studies com-
bined with career and voca-
tional training.
Middle school enrollment
totaled 5,514, with student
head count ranging from 656
at Sebastian Middle School to
1,187 at Switzerland Point
Middle School.
Landrum Middle School in
Ponte Vedra had 1,012, Fruit
Cove Middle School in
Northwest St. Johns ,had
1,125, Nlurrav Middle School
in St. Augustine had. 722 and
Rogers Middle School .in St.
Augustine had 812.
The elementary school pop-
ulation totaled 9,873,
although that number
includes less than one-quarter
of the kindergarten population
because schools stagger the.
kindergarten start date over
five days. Another 132 stu-
dents are enrolled at the dis-
trict's alternative and charter
schools.
The district has projected
26,510 students will attend St.
Johns County public schools
during the 2006-2007 school
year.
"I visited 22 schools today in
every part of the county and
all were running like they' were
in midyear form," reported
Joseph Joyner, St. Johns
County schools superintend-
ent.
"I'd like to thank all of our
staff for their hard work during
the past several months and
also the Sheriffs Office for the
support provided by the Youth
Resource Deputies and cross-
ing guards," he added.
Attendance counts will con-
tinue to be monitored during
the next two weeks, when stu-
dent enrollment traditionally
increases, according to Tom
Schwarm, senior director of
School Operations.

Teenagers shine in Ocean Marathon race
By ROBERT DeANGELO"
SPORTS EDITOR
The first-ever HammerHead
Ocean Marathon proved a rous-
ing success Saturday, with 52
swimmers completing the 1.25-
mile course and another 73
competing in the 2.5-mile race.
Teenage swimmers dominat-
ed the event as a parade of
Bolles School girls swim team
members emerged from the
water first with 15-year-old
Chelsea Dicks, Cassie Craddock,
18, Kylee Talwar, 15, and Axie
Phillips, 15, sweeping places
one through four in the 1.25-
mile swim.
Harrison Brown, 19, won the
2.5-mile race in 50:55 followed
by 17-year-old Justin Leemis
who crossed the finish line in
52 minutes flat.
Eighteen-year-old Rachel
Sale, who graduated from
Fletcher High this year and will
attend Georgia Southern this
fall, was second the girls 18-
and-Under category of the
longer race in 54:40. Sale fin-
ished seventh overall while 16-
year-old Melissa Steele was sixth
overall in a time of 54:36.
"We've been getting in shape
for the swim season which
starts later this month butwe
haven't swam for a week," said
Dicks, who attends Bishop
Kenny High School but com-
petes for Bolles. "There's really
no way to .train for this I
think I'll be sore [on Sunday)."
Dicks completed the course
in '31:05, followed closely by
Bulldogs teammate, Craddock
who crossed the finish line in
32:08.
"I've done one of these once
before, in Fort Lauderdale," said
Craddock, "but it's still really
tough. We kind of knew we
were ahead, but you can't really
tell because sometimes the
waves knock you off course a
little bit."
Both Dicks and Craddock
compete in the girls 100-yard
freestyle at Bolles. While they
have been swimming as much
as 2,000 yards a day in practice
for the upcoming season, which
begins Aug. 14, both said the
ocean marathon is something
completely different.
"For one thing the water was
a lot colder than in our pool,"
said Craddock. "It seemed like it
was 70-something degrees. But I
think the colder water is actual-
ly better for a race like this.
"The other thing is we don't
have to deal with the waves
when we're, swimming at
Bolles."
A relatively smooth sea and
no sign of jellyfish greeted
HammerHead participants
Saturday morning just south of
the Jacksonville Beach Pier.
Those swimming in the longer
race boarded a bus which
brought them to the starting
point some 2.5 miles south of
the pier.
Entrants in the 1.25-mile
event climbed aboard Ocean
Rescue vehicles and were trans-
ported to the site of their start.
Event coordinator Susan
Wallis said 53 competitors
signed up to participate on race
day, bringing the total number
of swimmers to 125 participat-
ing in the inaugural Hammer-
Head Ocean Mara-thon.
Complete results will be post-
ed at hammerheadtriathlon-
club.com.

Few real highlights from
Jaguars' first scrimmage
Bg'' agp
Photo by ROB DeANGELO

three-yard run during last Friday night's scrimmage at Alltel Stadium.
By ROBERT DeANGELO,
SPORTS EDITOR
After a week of preseason
training camp the Jacksonville
Jaguars took the field at AUtel
Stadium Friday night for an
intra-squad scrimmage in front
of 7,855 fans. But those hoping
to catch a first glimpse of the
Jaguars much-hyped downfield
offense left disappointed.
SWhile the offense
prevailed 29-15
over the defense,
big plays were few
and some differ-
ence-makers
on offense
never even got
a chance.
"We have a
lot of work to do. I
expected] us to be a little
crisper than we were offensive-
ly," said head coach Jack Del
Rio. "I thought defensively we
did some really good things."
Del Rio made the rules for
Friday's scrimmage, setting up
the offense on the defense's 35-
yard line in each of the first
three series. While the first two
drives stalled, kicker Josh Scobee
connected on field goals of 47
and 50 yards to put some points
on the board.
in its third effort. the offense
finally clicked when third-string
quarterback Quinn Gray
hooked up with wide receiver
Fred Stamps for a 35-yard TD.
Fans hoping to see rookie
tight end Marcedes Lewis catch
some passes over the middle
instead got to see the UCLA
alum block for former Bruins
teammate and fellow rookie
Maurice Jones-Drew. Lewis
sealed off the right comer on an
end run, enabling Jones-Drew to
scamper 31 yards down the side-
line before the running back
was pushed out of bounds at the
3-yard line.
"It was a
chance to go
i out there for
Seal with the
lights: ,on,"
Jones-Drew
said. "I made
some pretty
decent plays. I
messed up on a few
things, but I have to go
back out there and make
sureI don't do it again. I never try
to make the same mistake twice."
Two plays after his long run,
Jones-Drew was dancing in the
end zone after plowing his way
to paydirt on a 3-yard plunge.
"Maurice had a nice run and
we just missed him on a screen
[pass]," Del Rio said. "He
showed some of that explosive
quality that he has. He has that
ability to get out in the open
field and then really get going. I
thought we got a little taste of
that tonight."
In terms of the passing game,
starting QB Byron Leftwich was
6-of-ll for 36 yards, second-
stringer David Garrard connect-
ed on 3-of-5 passes for 14 yards
and Gray hit 4-of-lO for 67
yards including the TD toI
Stamps.
Despite the offense's "win" it
was the Jaguars' defense that
Rose to the occasion in the
scrimmage. Players in the sec-
ondary broke up a number of
passes and the defensive line
consistently stuffed the run.
"Our defense is pretty good
and they've been practicing
against the same plays for a
week," Del Rio said.
As the Jaguars march toward
Saturday's first preseason game
at Miami against the Dolphins,
some underdogs are making
names for themselves in train-
ing camp. Outside linebacker
Brian Iwuh, an undrafted free-
agent, and former Tennessee
Volunteers defensive lineman
Tony McDaniel are two exam-
ples of unheralded players who
may survive final roster cuts on
Sept. 2.
"It's no secret I like undrafted
free agents," Del Rio has said. "I
like guys who come in [and] are
smart, tough and compete.
We've got some guys that are
doing that .. Brian Iwuh is
going to get an opportunity. I
like him."
As Del Rio and staff meet to
discuss the first round of cuts;
there are intriguing possibilities.
For example, the Jaguars cur-
.rently have four tight ends on'
their roster, plus two others who
can play the position.

tors, it just recently opened its

tive productsas well as reason-
able prices," said Rhonda. "You

ments in the upscale stores at
the Beaches and in Amelia
Island."
Rhonda .and Sylvia attribute
their success to the services Silk
Bloomers offers, and a handful
of top-notch decorators arid
some wonderful, loyal friends Rhonda Thomson, own
all repeat customers who took high end silk florals, tree
them under their wing. ,
"I began Silk Bloomers six years ago, working out of
my home and selling silk florals to specialty shops at the
Beaches and in Amelia Island," said Rhonda. "We're a,
true family business. My father has been a silk floral
representative for 50 years and my mother owned and
operated. D'syl Showroom and Interiors in Jacksonville
Beach a silk floral and home accessory store for 10
years."
The result is Silk Bloomers and its friendly, family-
operated approach with decades of experience, a show-
room brimming with ideas to complement any decorat-
ing style. "We specialize in high-end silk florals and
trees as well as unique accessories and fine lamps and

Rhonda. "Our

see stacked boxes of newly arrived merchandise, dis-
plays of decorative accents and floral arrangements and
Rhonda and Sylvia busy at work designing a "work in
progress" at a design table. The showroom isn't fancy,
but it's friendly and fun because Rhonda and Sylvia real-
ly enjoy what they do,.
"It's a lot of fun having a mother-daughter business,"
said Rhonda. "We've worked together, so long, and we
both really enjoy it."
The Silk Bloomers showroom features beautiful, cre-
ative interiors that are both functional and reflective of
Rhonda and Sylvia's personalities.
Rhonda specializes in tropical arrangements and dec-
orating built-in bookcases. "Most people have a tenden-
cy to decorate with lots of little knick-knacks," she said.
"I love to go in and just redo the whole look with acces-
sories, urns and greenery and tie it all together with
color."
Sylvia specializes in large contemporary, traditional
and classic arrangements. Together, they cater to any
decorating style from Asian to contemporary to clas-
sic to traditional with the goal of providing long-
term decoration to improve your home.
"Some of our customers come in looking for a new
centerpiece or a special item, but the majority of our
customers are,,working homeowners with little spare
time to shop all over town and pull a whole look togeth-
er," said Rhonda.
"Others don't have an eye for decorating and appreci-
ate our help in this area. We can come to your home
with florals, trees, and accessories taking back with us
anything you don't love. I'm not aware of anyone else
offering this service."

JAGUARS TRAINING CAMP
Preseason success is no
indicator for NFL teams
Starting his fourth season
as head coach of the
Jacksonville Jaguars, Jack
Del Rio spoke last Saturday of
getting the kinks out for the
team's opening preseason
game down in Miami this
week.
Fans can only hope the Del
Rio staff has done just that
during the sweltering labor
the Jaguars have,put in during
these days at Alltel camp
grounds. Despite what looks
like a promising crop of
draftees and presumed good
health among the troops,
there are still "kinks" that
haven't been ironed out in
scrimmages and head-butting
among themselves.
A real game against the
Dolphins might solve some of
the problems. This isn't a
mock game as they played last
Saturday at home. This isn't
pitty-pat where the No. 1
quarterback is protected like a
tot carrying eggs. This is real,
even if it istechnically an
exhibition.
Del Rio said he was encour-
aged after viewing the video of
Friday night's scrimmage, that
on film the offense didn't look
as weak as it did on the field.
Video, video on the wall,
who's the best of all? Maybe a
few plays came within inches
of working, maybe the two
Jaguars squad teams came
close to scoring in the scrim-
mages that really count.
How important are these
"preseason" (if you call them
what they are exhibition
games the NFL might sue
you for maligning their prod-
utt, which they still charge
Good prices for).games? Do
they really get the teams in ,,.
fighting mood for the season?
Ask the players and most
say they ought to be cut down
to maybe two instead of four
games.
There's nothing easy about
lifting that barge and toting
that bale under blistering heat.
It's bad enough every year, but
this year's furnace heat has
been more cruel, while boss
man Del Rib and staff riake'
s it players get enough cotto"f
in for the day.
The Jaguars have had only
one perfect (4-0) preseason. In
REX EDMONDSON
PRESS BOX
1997, Tom Coughlin's third
season as head man, the Mark
Brunell-Jimmy Smith-Keenan
McCardell offense (plus Bryan
Barker, who was punter of the
year) defeated Carolina, the
New York Giants, San
Francisco and Atlanta.
Jacksonville went on to
three straight victories to open
the regular season at
Baltimore, plus the Giants and
Pittsburgh at home before los-
.ing to the Washington
Redskins.
Something had them ready.
SIf preseason results prove
Anything, then Del Rio's career
Here has been on the positive
side. in three years he's gone
8-4, including a break-even
year last summer.
The Jaguars opened with a
27-17 decision over Miami
here and followed with a 20-
17 win over Tampa Bay.
,'1Lobked like a fine statt.'b'ut"
'then they lost'a'honie gAtin to
Atlanta, 23-7, and followed
that with a disappointing drop
to Dallas, 27-20.
When the Jags opened the
2005 campaign with an
impressive 26-14 win over
Seattle, things looked right on
schedule, then they began the
seesaw letdown. Jacksonville
lost the.next week, badly, to
Indianapolis, 10-3, Then they
went up and defeated the New
York Jets, 26-20 in overtime.
But to chill the cheers of
Jags fans, they came home
and.lost an enibarrassing game
to Denver, 20-7. It was as
though the coaches had come
home and left the rest of the
team in New York.
The Jaguars bounced back
with a win over Cincinnati
here, followed that with an
impressive victory at
Pittsburgh, 23-17, in overtime.
It looked like they were finally
on track, then they went to St.
Louis and should stayed
home. They lost a three-point-
er, 24-21.
If anything had been proved
to that point, it was that Del
Rio's team was as unreliable" as
barber shop rumors.
Jacksonville won its next five
straight Houston and
Baltimore here, Tennessee,
Arizona and Cleveland on the
road.
Standing 9-3, it was figured
that the offense had finally
grown up until the Jags lost
to the Indy Colts for the sec-
ond time in the season. They
showed again their inconsis-
tency by winning three
straight toughies: over San
.Francisco, 10-9, Houston, 38-
20, and against their old
lovers, the Tennessee Titans,
40-13.
, In spite of it all, a fine fin-
ish, right?
Wrong.
The, now-you-cheer-now-
you-cry.boys strutted into
their first playoff game since
1999 and fell flat on their
pusses at New England, 28-3.
It wasn't even close. The
wavering Jaguars had done it'
again.
To finish the year, 12-4, is
great for a team that had wan-
dered around in the Twilight
Zone for fouryears, but it's a
lo^er iffb'ir s-ooting TcTia F '
championship.
A winning start is not only
good, it's a necessity. It should
start Saturday in Miami.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Fred Stamps stretches to catch a 35-yard touchdown pass
from third-string quarterback Quinn Gray during the Jaguars' scrimmage Friday night at Alltel
Stadium. The Jaguars' offense outscored the defense 29-15 during the scrimmage, but rules and
a points system set up by head coach Jack Del Rio gave most of the evening's advantages to
players on the offensive side of the ball,.
