Sidewalk gets
help of MSD
by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF tW RITER
The atmosphere was thick
with scathing accusations and
character attacks in St.
Augustine Monday during a
televised political forum.
Six of the seven candidates
* for two seats on the St. Johns
Board of County
Commissioners spoke at the
forum sponsored by the St.
Johns County Civic
Association Roundtable. The
taped forum will be rebroad-
cast twice.
In an apparent move to gain
voter trust, incumbent
Commissioner Bruce Maguire
offered 13 years of his tax
records and challenged his
Republican opponent, Tom
Manuel, to do the same.
"The question is: who do
you trust?" Maguire said,
adding that his family has
lived in the area for four gener-
ations.
Maguire of Ponte Vedra
Beach, who represents District
4, hinted during the forum
that his opponent has ques-
tionable business partnerships
that involve offshore gambling
in the Caribbean.
"I appreciate Mr. Maguire
covering my resume so I don't
have to do it," Manuel joked in
his opening statement.
Later he said Maguire's com-
ments show that "St. Johns
County is a battleground.. of
growth, and it's a battleground
of greed and money."
Maguire defended his
actions, saying they were made
in response to an earlier state-
ment by Manuel, who said
Nlaguire's commission votes
are bought by developer con-
tributions.
Manuel did not directly
respond to Maguire's com-
ments and said after the meet-
ing that he has never personal-
ly attacked Maguire.
Meanwhile, District 2
Commissioner Karen Stern also
found herself defending her
campaign contributions,
which total more than
$137,000.
A forum mediator asked how
Stern and Maguire can "hon-
estly" say their votes were not
influenced by large contribu-
tions from developers and spe-
cial interest groups.
"Any time this comes up, I
feel that my integrity is being
questioned," Stern said.
"It is," several audience
members said loudly.
After asking the audience to
refrain from making

New Beginnings Baptist
Church is officially on its way
to a new beginning at its Davis
Park location.
The church has submitted its
first draft of a site plan and has
gone through the first phase of
development review by St.
Johns County.
The current chu rch property,
located off State Road A1A in
Ponte Vedra, is being pur-
Schased by St. Johns County for
recreational purposes and the
church is relocating to a site
east of Davis Park off County
Road 210.
Plans for the new church
include more than 55,000
square feet encompassed in
three buildings.
"We're moving forward with
the whole project," Todd
Barfield, a representative of the
church, said Tuesday.

Trustees of the Ponte Vedra
Municipal Service District
NIMSDI, seeing a jump-start on
sidewalk projects in the MSD,
Monday agreed to help a group
of residents pay for a quarter-
mile stretch of sidewalk.
That group, consisting of
about 26 neighbors in the 800,
900 and 1000 blocks of Ponte
Vedra Boulevard, has agreed to
pay for most of the
project, said Dana
Current, who lives
in the 900 block.
"Our roadway is I would li
very narrow [and .. to recogn
. thickly settled,"
Current told Vedra d
trustees at their Core
monthly meeting at
the Ponte Vedra
Beach Branch --Doug
Library.
"W\Ven I go to
take my children to the beach .
. it's a very dangerous walk."
Current said he had secured
promises from about 90 per-
cent of the 26 property owners
to help pay for a 3-foot side-
walk.
He asked MSD trustees to pay
for another foot of the side-
walk, estimated to cost $17,490
for 1,650 linear feet, a estimate
that trustees noted is lower
than others they had heard.
MSD chairman Bob Reesh
said an estimate he got about
six months ago "was a lot more
than this." -and -trustee Al
Hollon said the county's side-
walk cost is $65 per linear foot.
"They tend to over-engineer
the thing." trustee Rob Becker
said, referring to St. Johns
County.
The MSD's commitment for
the quarter-mile stretch,
Current said, would be "a little
Barfield declined to give any
further details of the buildings
but said the church will be
releasing that information in
about two months.
The entrance to the chitrch
will connect to the entrance
road for Davis Park, according
to Barfield.
To the north of the church's
new property will be the
planned Ponte Vedra High
School.
The, church site is located
less than $5,000."
The MlSD is a special taxing
district that levies a tax on
NISD property owners for extra
garbage collection, extra police
protection, beautihcation and
street signs m the MSD.
The MSD generally includes
the area east of State Road AIA
from the Duval County line to
Corona Road, then south along
both sides of Ponte Vedra
Boulevard for six miles.
The plan is to build the side-
ke somebody

side of Ponte
Vedra Boulevard,
Current said,
and to aim for
the neighbor-
hood feeling
that exists north
of Corona Road,
where sidewalks
already exist.
This is not the
first time the
lMSD Board of
Trustees has been asked for
help in funding sidewalks, nor
the first time that NMSD money
has been pledged for sidewalks.
Becker said the existing side-
walk north of Corona Road was
paid for years ago by property
owners there, with help from
the MSD.
Other residents have asked
for sidewalks in recent months,
but none has approached the
lMSD with a financial commit-
ment from benefiting property
owners.
Trustee Doug Crane, who
lives irr-the 900 block of Ponte
Vedra Boulevard so did not
vote on the issue, said a push
from residents willing to pay
may be the way to secure side-
walks in other parts of the
MSD.

How did commissioners vote?
by LAURA FOWLER
ST4FF WRITER
St. Johns County Commissioners Bruce Maguire and
Karen Stern, both running for reelection, have been
criticized for their commission votes approving land
use and rezoning changes.
In recent months, constituents as well as the incum-
bents' opponents have said Stern and Maguire have
approved up to 99 or 100 percent of developments.
Using a report produced by the St. Johns County
Civic Association Roundtable, The Leader researched
the voting records of all five current commissioners for
one year 2005 when 127 votes were taken,
according to the report.
Those development-related agenda items included
land use changes, zoning changes, zoning and non-
zoning variances and modifications to already
approved Planned Unit Developments.
The following percentages reflect the "aye" votes
given by each commissioner last year, based on the
total number each commissioner voted on.
Absences and recuses were counted but are not
included in the percentages that follow:
Approval rate:
Jim Brvant ........... 94.3 %
Ben Rich ............ 80.3%t
Cyndi Stevenson ....... 93.4":)
Bruce Maguire ......... 94.4%1
Karen Stern ........... 97.2%
Absences during these items:
Brvant: 4
Rich: 0
Stevenson: 4
Maguire: 16
Stern: 18

Hurricane prep help available
FROMSTAFF,
Starting this week, Floridians
can apply for a free home
inspection 'and professional rec-
ommendations on how to
improve their homes' ability to
withstand a hurricane.
The My Safe Florida Home
program, a $250 million mitiga-
tion program to help Floridians
strengthen their homes against
hurricanes and to reduce prop-
erty losses in Florida, began
Tuesday. .
Tom Gallagher, Florida's chief
financial officer, said that as'
many as 50,000 Florida house-
Sholds will be served over the
next rear through this program.
,I It .has-been-ra priority for th l
$Dep'ra 'iM ,o-f: i, in3nhcida
Ser\'ices-"to get the My Safe
,;Florida'-Home program up and
running as quickly as possible,
Gallagher :said..The new law
went into effect on July I and is
designed to help Floridians find
out more about how they can
make their homes safer against
hurricanes.
"I applaud the Florida
Legislature for, providing a
tremendous financial commit-
ment to make older homes
mote resistant to :damage
caused by hurricanes,"' said
Governor Jeb.Bush. "With more
than three months remaining
Sin the 2006 Hurricane Season, I
thank CFO Gallagher and the
SDepartment of Financial
Services for working to quickly
implement this critical pro-
gram. Fortifying Florida
through mitigation efforts will
Ensure our economy remains
strong in the face of future hur-
ricanes."
Gallagher said his goal is, to
have 12,000 free home inspec-
tions completed and grants
awarded before hurricane sea-
son ends.
"Fortifying homes in Florida
is a common-sense solution for
the insurance crisis in our state."
To be eligible to apply for a
free home inspection, Floridians
must live in a single-family, site-
built home with an insured
Value of $500,000 or less and
Shave a valid homestead exemp-
Stion. Documents verifying this
information must be submitted
with a completed application.
Floridians can apply on-line at,
www.mysafefloridahome.com
or by calling 1-800-342-2762 to
get an application packet.
Gallagher said .that once an
inspection, has been done, the
homeowner will receive a report
within 7 to 10 days that outlines
up to seven areas that could be
improved to better protect the
home against hurricanes, an
estimate of how much each of
those improvements would
cost, the expected savings the
homeowner would receive if the
improvements were made, and
a rating" of the home's current
ability to withstand hurricanes
and its future ability with
improvements.
*The department has worked
with the Federal Alliance for
Safe Homes (FLASH) to screen
and train 130 inspectors to
begin work within the next two
weeks. An additional 400
inspectors.are expected to com-
plete the screening and training
required within the next 30
days.

a .E.~btaining-, a~ free hori'e
irispectio is just the first steptof
the program. Homeowners
who undergo the My ,Safe
.Florida Home inspection may
also qualify for matching grants
of up to $5,000 to fortify their
homes. As directed by the new,
law to reduce hurricane expo-
sure and property losses in
.Florida, grants w-ill be prioritized
and awarded to homeowners
who'live in high-risk, hurricane-
vulnerable areas of the state.
Gallagher said the' depart-
ment will also start screening
and qualifying contractors to
perform retrofit improvements
this week. Gallagher also said
that a registry of participating
contractors by county and by
the type of work they perform
will soon be available on-line at
xiww.mysafeloridahomme.com
or by calling the department.
,The department is partnering,
with local governments, as well
as non-profit organizations, to
expand the reach of the pro-
gram and 'to strengthen a
greatest number of homes)
against catastrophic storms.
Gallagher said these partner-
ships will enable the My Safe
Florida Home program to lever-
age resources and maximize
reach by linking with local' mit-
igation assistance 'programs
already in place.
Cut...
The screens at the Pablo 9
Theatres will fade to black for
the last time Thursday.
Management said lack of ticket
sales coupled with costly
upgrades needed to bring the
fire alarm system, movie pro-
jectors and air conditioning up
to code prompted the decision
to close. Employees were noti-
fied of the plans Monday. The
Pablo Plaza multiplex is the
last remaining movie theater at
the Beaches after the closing
several years ago of the Royal
Palms Theater in Atlantic
Beach and the. Neptune Beach
Theater in Neptune Beach.

Tax cut proposed
One trustee of the Ponte
Vedra Municipal Service
District on Monday suggested
the Board of Trustees cut the
MNSD tax rate as "a nice ges-
ture."
"I think we have a lot of
money in our carry-over," said
Mack NMcCuller, who suggested
the..MSD could do without
some of the $86,000 additional
revenue that the tax rate will
generate next year over the
Current year. '
But his suggestion got"':no
obvious support from the
other five trustees at the MNSD
meeting at the Ponte Vedra
Beach Branch Library.
/ The tax rate of 37 cents for
every $1,000 in assessed valua-
tion has held steady for several
years.
The rate. generated $490,371
for the current year, which
ends Sept. 30, and-is expected
to generate $576,073 for the
year that begins Oct. 1.
NMSD budget 'hearings are
scheduled at the Ponte Vedra
Beach Branch Library at 6 p.m.
Sept. 11 and Sept. 25.
ARC eyes Christ Church
The design,,of two buildings
proposed at. Christ Episcopal
Church in Ponte Vedra are
scheduled to be considered
Aug. 23 by the Architectural

Community seeks assurances on 'sacred ground'
Sidewalk:
by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
Two sides of an emotionally
sensitive road project came
together Saturday to, discuss
how to handle potential grave
sites inside the original bound-
aries of an African-American'
cemetery in Jacksonville Beach.
About 30 comnrrunity mem-
bers in Pablo Beach, many of
whom spoke of family members
buried in Lee Kirkland Cemetery
on Beach Boulevard, attended
the meeting with city and trans-
portation officials at St. Andrew
AME Church.
Community members are
concerned that tlhe widening of
'Beach Boulevard will encroach
on burials thought to rest in the
right of way.
The planned realignment of
Penman Road could also pave
over graves outside the eastern
border of the cemetery, resi-7
dents'claim.
Maxine Terrell, president of
Pablo Renewal in Duval East
(PRIDE) Inc., organized' the
meeting to give a voice to both
sides of the issue.
"I really wanted them to see,
each other. These are not just
anomalies. These are people's
families," she said; "It's an anom-
aly to you. It's a grave to us until
proven otherwise."
The city of Jacksonville Beach
and the city of Jacksonville in-
conjunction with the JTA con-
ducted ground penetrating
radar to identify any possible
anomalies in the soil that could
indicate the presence of a burial.,
Findings submitted by,
General Engineering
Geophysics of Charleston, S.C.
noted the presence of 10 loca-
tions outside the recognized
boundaries of,the cemetery that
bear the signature of a burial
site.
Southeastern Archaeological
Research, Inc. out of Central
Florida was hired by the JTA in
conjunction with the city of.
Jacksonmille to verify the exis-
tence of any targets that could
impede the proposed road work.
The results could not positive-
ly identify any grave sites but
hcndcated the location of 44 pos-
sible anomalies that could not
be associated with obvious utili-
ties- or geologic targets and
might warrant further in\'estiga-
tion. .

FROM STAFF
In the primary election Sept.
5, S t. Johns County
Republicans will choose among
incumbent Karen Stern, Ron
Sanchez and Ron Schumaker for
the District 2 seat in southwest
St. Johns County.
The winner of that race will
face Democrat Ken Bryan in the
general election on Nov. 7.
Republicans also will'choose
Sept. 5 between incumbent
Bruce Maguire of Ponte Vedra
Beach and Tom Manuel for the
District 4 seat.
The winner of that contest
will face write-in candidate
Richard Olszewski in the general
election.
Early voting for the primary,
held at the Ponte Vedra Beach
Branch Library, begins Aug. 21
and runs through Sept. 2.
Maguire defended their actions
on the board as they have in
past forums.
Though the St. Johns County,
SCommission voted contrary to
several recommendations of
the county Planning and
Zoning Agency (PZA), Maguire
said 42 percent of the PZAs
decisions, would violate indi-
vidual property rights.
Manuel, who has served on
the PZA, arid Bryan scoffed at
Maguire's claim,, with Manuel
saying the PZA' has never
denied anyone, the right to
develop a property based on its
originally intended use.
Another topic. affordable
housing '- generated lively dis-
cussion and appeared to put
Stern on the defensive.
One mediator said that
Stern, who has rallied behind
the county's need for afford-
able housing in her campaign
platform, has allowed develop-
ers to reduce affordable hous-
ing in their projects by several
hundred units.
On'e such example is, the
Liberty Park Planned Unit.
Development located on
Pacetti Road north of County'
Road'208 in St. Augustine.
Stern, along with Maguire
and commissioners Cyndi
Stevenson and Jim Bryant,
voted to allow developers to
eliminate the 112 affordable
housing units at Liberty Park.
Commissioner Ben Rich -was
the sole "no" vote when the
decision was made Feb. 7. The
PZA had recommended denial
of the proposal.
Bryan said such "bait. and'
switch tactics" have been used
by big businesses for years.
.Developers often propose
projects that use .affordable
housing as a selling point, then
reduce or eliminate those units
later, according to Bryan.
Bryan, along with Sanchez
and Manuel, said, commission-
ers should hold developers to
their original contracts.
Stern explained that some-
,times reductions are made for
reasonsbeyond the control of
developers.
She said the reasons were too
complicated to explain in
detail.. '
The only one saved from any
character attacks:.was political
newcomer Richard Olszewski,
who recently entered the race
as a write-in and who had little
to say in Monday's forum.
Throughout' the forum,
Olszewski repeatedly said he
believes in "inalienable rights"
and "individual property
rights." He said many of the
issues brought up were new to
him.
Olszewski said his real chal-
lenge for this race is making
sure voters can spell his name,
because they must write it on
the ballot in order to vote for
him.
Monday's forum will be
rebroadcast Saturday at 9 a.m.

Letters to the editor:
Consider source when
weighing criticism
IFJ_
.a"Copyrighted Material
To the editor:
Since being soundly defeat-
ed in her bid for re-election to
the Board of County
Commissioners of St. Johns
County four years ago, Mary
Kohnke has been an extreme-
ly vocal critic of our commis-
sioners and their policies.
Recently, she again lambasted
Commissioner Bruce
Maguire, going so far as to say
that he has consistently voted
against the Ponte Vedra com-
munity during his term. I
think it is wise,to consider the
source when weighing such
matters. If she is' to be so crit-
ical, perhaps a retrospective
of Ms. Kohnke's position on
some of the issues affecting
our area are in order:
Ms. Kohnke tried very
hard to force Ponte Vedra
Beach and Sawgrass residents.
to pay for the maintenance- of
the Guana Drainage Basin,
which lies between the north-
ern county line and Mickler
Road, despite the fact that
Jacksonville Beach/State Road
A1A and J. Turner Butler
Boulevard all move storm
water into the drainage basin..
Fortunately, the other county
commissioners rightly voted
That this was a public works
expense.
Many Ponte Vedra
Municipal Service District
(MSD) residents desired to
amend the MSD charter in
order to cap taxes and capital
expenditures. One of the pro-
cedures to accomplish this
amendment process required
the St. ` Johns County
Delegation (state legislators)
to approve the amendment.
This was purely a MSD affair
and had nothing to do with
the county. However,
Commissioner .Kohnke
pressed one of our local legis-
lators not to let the amend-
ment proceed, thus meddling
in MSD politics. Fortunately
for MSD residents, she failed
once again.
MSD residents over-
whelmingly opposed the
widening of Solana Road east
of A1A. As their elected repre-
sentative, they sought
Commissioner Kohnke's sup-
port on the issue. Instead,
she insisted the project move
forward, even after it was
clearly demonstrated that the'
project was completely,
unnecessary because it was
based on. a flawed study of
area traffic patterns, during
holidays while Corona Road
was closed! After a new traffic
study was conducted, the;
other county commissioners
Followed the recommenda-
tion of county staff and can-
celed-the project, agreeing it
was not only unnecessary, but,
wasteful.
The aforementioned new
traffic study' had been paid for
by residents, using a well-
respected FDOT-certified and
approved traffic engineering
firm. In light of the fact' that
the new study proved the'
project unnecessary, thereby
saving the county $18q,000,.
residents requested reim-
bursemeht for the $3,000 cost
of the new, traffic study.
Commissioner Kohnke voted
against reimbursement but,
gratefully, was out-voted by
her fellow commissioners.
Few would argue that a
sanitary sewer system is more -
desirable than septic systems. Syca
However, not everyone wants
to reach into their own pock- W.7
et to pay for the construction Available from Comme
of a sewer system. Ms.
Kohnke was a major player in
forcing homeowners in the
MSD to pay for most of the
cost of constructing their
sewer system, despite the'fact
that she lives on the
Intracoastal Waterway in a'
house with a septic system
and would not be served, by
this new sewer system. I trust
Ms. Kohnke will be as eager to
pay for her own sewer system
when the time comes.
The county, with intense
lobbying by Ms. Kohnke, sold
this new MSD sewer system to
the Jacksonville Electric
Authority (JEA). For this priv-
ilege, the county received a
"franchise fee" of approxi- I A "
mately $7 million from JEA. ,, ,
Ms.,Kohnke did not work so

Mayor Don Wolfson conceived of the quar-

into the policy areas west of Sailfish Drive that
have been traditionally neglected by City Hall,
or even damaged by governmental actions. I
believe, based upon the remarks of commis-
sioners at the chats, that commissioners now
have a better graspof concerns that are unique
to west Atlantic Beach and its residents. So, it
has been a fair exchange.

When the
numbers
are called,
it's 'go-go
bingo'
A That's the most popu-
/ lar game-played in
SFlorida? I would haz-
ard a guess that it'sbingo.
Among the bingo bouts held
around here, possibly one of
the most unique is the version
that's offered to members of
Jax Beach American Legion
Post 129 on Friday nights.
The participants buy (or
rent) groups of three taped-
together ordinary playing
cards (e.g., hearts; spades) and
the caller announces.random,.
selections from a different
deck. Another unusual aspect
of the proceedings is the win-,
ner's prize. The stakes are
steaks, meaning meat. For
instance, the person who
shouts "bingo!" may be .
awarded a wrapped, presum-
ablytender and tasty cut of
sirloin or.filet mignon.
Sometimes the win is a stuffed
chicken breast laughingly
dubbed "roadkill."
An interesting nomenclature
nugget: Bing Crosby got his
nickname from the game, sort
of. According to my online
source, Vikipedia, 6-year-old
Harry Lillis Crosby, evidertly
-precocious, beca meanahit
siastic reader of a continuing,
humorous newspaper feature
titled "The Bingville Bugle."
Noting this, a teenage girl he
',new who was also a fan of
the published item started
fondly calling him "Bingo
from Bingville." The "o" was
later dropped, but the name
stuck. (I understand that in
Germany, he's referred to as
"Der Bingle.")
My most unusual bingo
experience took place on a
flight to Peru aboard a
Peruvian airliner. At cruising
altitude, a high time was had
as the head flight attendant
conducted the games in rapid-
fire Spanish. Many of the pas-
sengers were presumably Peru
citizens. Every so often, some-
one would yell "Beeengo!"
and come tearing down the
'aisle to claim his or her swag.
Of all the gambling oppor-
tunities that exist in the
United States, I think bingo is
least fraught with chances for
catastrophic loss. How many
game cards can a player moni-
tor simultaneously before
going almost cross-eyed and'
starting to miss numbers?
According to Wikipedia, "The
element of skill in the game is.'
the ability to search one's card
(or cards) for the called num-
ber in the short time before
the next number is called." An
added plus the game often
generates charitable funds. So
it's go-go bingo!
The Post 129 competition
calls to mind a gag involving a
man who's walking down a
street with a pig under his
arm. He meets a friend.of his
who asks, "Where did you get
that?" The pig replies, "I won
him playing bingo." (The
porker was apparently ham-
ming it up.)

Habitat helps
Jordan center
by JEFFREY MINTON
STAFF WRITER
Beaches Habitat for Humanity
has offered to expand the Jordan
Park Community Center for the
city of Atlantic Beach free of
charge to better facilitate the
growing community After School
Tutoring Program at the location.
The project to expand the
building at 1671 Francis Avenue
by roughly 1,000 square feet is
expected to cost about $75,000.
And Habitat has also agreed to
fund a full time education direc-
tor for the program for at least
three years, according to city offi-
cials.
Roughly half of the the Jordan
Park Community Center building
is occupied by Beaches Habitat,
which several years ago construct-
ed the building for the city in
return for using half of it for its
offices.
The Atlantic Beach City
Commission at its meeting
Monday unanimously approved
the request by Beaches Habitat to
construct the expansion.
Funding for the project is being
provided through a grant by one
of Habitat's largest donors, Herb
and MiyuFi Scheidel. In addition
to the $75,000 for the expansion,
the Scheidels have also commit-
ted to a grant for over $2 million
to offer scholarships for students
living in Habitat, housing in
Atlantic Beach and St. Augustine.
That grant is being matched by a
$1.8 million grant from the state,
according to Habitat officials.
Beaches Habitat Director Ralph
Marcello said last week that those
.grants are expected to create five
new scholarships for the
University of North. Florida and
between 30 and 40 new scholar-
ships for FCCJ.
Habitat officials say the the
tutoring program held at the
Jordan Park location and Donner
Park Community, Center has
,grown from about 5 students
since its inception in 2001 to over
40 students this year. And,partici-
pation in the program is expected
to at least double over the next
three, primarily due to new
Habitat homes and and.other
new Atlantic Beach residents.
according to Habitat Ofcials.
The program, intended for any
students has been a joint effort
between the city and Beaches
Habitat, said Atlantic Beach City
Manager Jinl Hanson last week.

Swedish desserts a Taylor specialty
by KATHY NICOLETTI
COLUMNIST
S wedish native A n i ta
Taylor enjoys cooking so
much that her husband,
Bill, said she's "happiest when
cooking."
A Ponte Vedra Beach resi-
dent, Taylor likes to have peo-
ple around when she cooks.
She and her husband I ,
designed their kitchen so thaf
Anita could visit with guests
while she.prepares food.
Taylor affectionally calls her
kitchen "Anita's cooking
school," because guests are
always asking her questions
while she cooks.
The Taylors moved to Ponte
Vedra from Berlin, Germany,'
13 years ago, following Bill's
retirement. The couple for-
merly lived in'Miami, where
Anita owned a sportswear
shop. She currently works for
Stein Mart.
Growing up in Sweden,
Taylor and her siblings helped
with small chores around the
kitchen while their mother
cooked. Taylor didn't serious-
ly begin cooking herself until
she was a newlywed.
While the influence of
A1-'^ COOKS
Swedish cuisine is evident in
her cooking, Taylor adds new
recipes regularly to her eclec-
tic collection. The Internet,
especially Epicurious.com, is
one of her favorite sources of
recipe ideas.
Taylor usually begins with a
recipe as a starting.point and
then changes it to suit her
preferences.
Taylor also likes to bake
desserts and bread. When the
couple's two daughters were
young, she baked bread, usu-
ally Swedish rye, oatmeal, or.
whole wheat.
She and her daughters also
baked birthday cakes together
along with countless cookies.
She still has homemade cook-
ies on hand, and for desserts
serves homemade cakes, pies,
or fancy cookies.
For most meals, she and her
husband prefer simple, flavor-
ful preparations of seafood,
meats, and vegetables.
Taylor doesn't fry food, and
the one time she fried chick-
en she said that she would
never do that again.
. Lighter preparations with-
out heavy sauces and limited
use of potatoes and pasta
keep their meals healthy and
not overly high in calories.
Seafood, both fish and
shellfish, is a favorite which
Taylor says is almost easier to
prepare than meats. A recipe
for fish, Mahi Mahi on a Bed
of Spinach with Fennel and
Garlic, is one of her most
recent creations.
This recipe is representative
of the poached or baked
preparation Taylor often uses
for fish. To make this dish,
she cooks fresh mahi mahi
over baby spinach in a wine
broth. The fish is done in a
few minutes' and served with
the spinach along with green
beans flavored with lemon.
' Ginger Carrot Soup is one
of several cold soups that
Taylor prefers to serve instead
of a salad. She admits that
making salads is a little,
tedious to her so instead she
often serves a cold soup for a
refreshing and delicious
change of pace.
The sweetness of the carrots
and orange juice is balanced
by the flavor of the ginger in
Taylor's carrot soup. After
cooking, the soup is blended
until smooth and chilled
before serving garnished with
orange zest.
SAn old family recipe, writ-
ten in Swedish, called. Mama's
Meringue has been one of
Taylor's favorite desserts for
years.
Taylor bakes the sweetened
meringue in a buttered tube
cake pan until it holds
together but is still a little soft
in the center. Slices of the
meringue are served with col-.
orful mixed berries and
homemade whipped cream
flavored with lemonocurd.
Although Taylor prepared
traditional Swedish dishes for
her brother here on a recent
visit from Sweden, she was
surprised when one of his
favorite dishes was Drunken
Chicken cooked on the grill.
To make this popular
recipe, a whole chicken is
placed over the open end of a
photo by KATHY NICOLETTI
Seafood, cold soups, and desserts are some of Anita Taylor's
specialties.

Rocky Creek Bridge (above), built of reinforced concrete in 1932, is one of the historic bridges
along Big Sur, the rugged, 90-mile stretch of California coast between San Simeon in the south,
location of Hearst Castle, and Carmel-by-the-Sea in the north, south of San Francisco. The old,
arched bridges brought automobile traffic to the coast where the Santa Lucia Mountains meet the
Pacific Ocean.

After serving the Beaches for more than 20 years in
Jacksonville Beach, Rick's Used Cars has moved to a brand-
new location at 1919 Mayport Road in Atlantic Beach and
they want you to stop by and help them celebrate.
"Our grand opening runs through Saturday, Sept. 2, and we
want past, present and future customers to drop in and see our
new facility, have a free hot dog and soft drink and maybe
even win a prize!" said Rick, who along with his wife; Brenda,
owns Rick's Used Cars. Sons Scott and Ricky as well as almost-
family Ronnie are on staff.
Prizes include a beach cruiser bicycle, free gasoline, free oil
changes, free'car detailing and gift certificates. "We're also
offering discounts to our customers who refer friends or new
customers," he said. "We're excited about our, new location,,
and we invite everyone to drop in and help us celebrate!"
Family-owned and operated and well known at the Beaches,
Rick's Used Cars was formerly located at 1404 Beach Blvd. in
Jacksonville Beach. "We purchased this new property a couple :
of years ago and picked this locationbecause we believe in the
Mayport Road corridor," said Rick. "There's only limited unde-
veloped commercial property on this, side of the Ditch, and we
feel that Mayport Road will be the next Beach Boulevard."
Even though their location is new, customers can still count,
on the same top-notch service and reasonable prices they've
come to appreciate from Rick's Used Cars since the company
first opened in Jacksonville Beach on April 1, 1986, at Third
Street anid 14th Avenue South.
"We're a buy here/pay here lot, andwe personally finance
everything we sell," said Rick. "We've retailed probably over
6,00 cars here at the Beaches, arid we've personally financed
5,000 of those cars," he said. '
Rick and Brenda don't sell any of their loans. Instead, they
have developed the criteria for their loan approval and are
able to offer customers a weekly payment schedule.
"We'sell cars that are about five to seven years old to people
who have challenging credit problems," said Brenda. "Because.
we finance the cars ourselves and there's no middle man,
everything is upfront and convenient for our customers."
Rick's Used Cars' customers appreciate this personalized
service and convenience, says Rick. "Of the customers on our
accounts receivable, 70 percent of them have bought three or
four cars from us," he said.
Rick says the biggest draw for repeat customers is the zero-
percent interest Rick's Used Cars has on all their car loans.
"Car'dealerships can charge them up to 28 percent," he said.
"So when they come to us and find out we're not going to
charge interest ever and that the sticker price on a car's wind-
shield is the price they'll pay and that we also finance the sales
tax, they're interested."
Rick explains how it works. "First we ask customers about
their budget and price range and the kind of car they're look-
ing for," he said.. "We're easygoing and customer oriented, and
we're not high-pressure salesmen at all."
Instead, the Staff at Rick's Used Cars is upfront. "All prices
are posted on the windshield," said Rick. "We show you how
much it is, how much you have toput down, the weekly pay-
ment and zero interest with no hidden surprises." Down
payments usually run from $400 to $2,000, depending on the
car,, and the bulk of what they sell is under a thousand dollars,
down payment, he said.
"We verify information from' each customer like who they.
are, where they live, where they work and then check five area
references who know them," he said. "We also require a valid
Florida drivers license and a cash down payment."
Rick's Used Cars then records the title and, once the loan is
paid off, releases the lien. Once a loan is established, weekly
payments can be made by check, money order or cash.
"The whole process can take as little as 30 minutes and then
our customers are driving off the lot." said Brenda. "We'll show
them cars and they'll show us some they're interested in and
then take a test drive and even take the cars someplace else to
get them checked out before purchase." Then Brenda explains
the application and prepares the paperwork for the loan.
"Our payments are as low as $50 and up to $70 a week," said
With the motto "Buy Here, Pay Here," the friendly staff at
family-owned and operated Rick's Used Cars can help you
find a car that matches your needs and budget. Pictured
above are (front row, left to right) owners Brenda and Rick ;
and son Scott and (second row, left to right) son Ricky and
almost-family Ronnie.
Rick. "Ninety-five percent of our payments are $50 a week,
which translates to $7.39 a day. Youcan hardly ride a bus for
that!"
A lot of families need a little second-hand car, Brenda said.
"They don't want to drive to California they want it for
around here," she said. "We sell a lot of second cars to 16 and
17 year olds whose parents get the loans and then the kids
make the weekly payments themselves," she said. "It offers the
kids the chance to be responsible, .and by age 18 they're ready
to step up to a nicer car."
Rick's Used Cars prides itself'on cultivating friends and not
just customers. "We make it convenient for our customers
because we don't want to sell them one car we want to sell
them five cars;" said Rick.
Rick's Used Cars does more than sells cars. They prepare cars
for sale on site. "We have two service bays where we clean and
repair our cars to properly prepare them for sale to the public,"
said Rick. "We try to buy with our customers in mind and
won't knowingly sell cars that have a bad motor or bad trans-
mission."
Keeping customers in mind is what Rick's Used Cars is all
about. "There are a lot of good people here at the Beaches -
some of the best people and they deserve to be treated fair-
ly and with respect," said Rick. "Ve appreciate our customers
and treat each one like they just bought a brand-new
Lamborghini!"
Rick's Used Cars is located in Atlantic Beach at 1919
Mayport Rd., across the street from KJ's Kitchen. Hours are 10
a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday and closed Sunday. To find a quality used car to fit
your budget or for more information about buying, selling,
trading or consignment, call Brenda, Rick, Scott or Ricky at
247-1728 or fax 247-1740.

HOME IMPROVEMENT
Read this monthly feature for your owvn Home Impivovement Piojects.
Spending Your Building Budget Wisely
You say your avocado-green refrigerator and
orange Formica countertops are looking a bit
dated? What a shame. They matched the orange
shag carpet so well. Fads do come and go.
Fortunately for you, apphances and carpeting are
easily replaced, unlike a home's infrastructure.
Homes are built just like they're run-on a
budget. That budget can be spent in countless
ways.
But before you even think about his and her
cosets or a personalized home theater system, be
sure you budget appropriately for the essential
structural elements of your home that are difficult
or impossible to change in the future. There are
three elements that should not be compromised.
Foundations, framing/roofing materials, and win-
dows and'doors are all essential to the long-term
value of your investment.

U
er, there's more at stake for the homeowner.
Windows and doors provide form and function.
They affect how your home looks, feels.and
operates. They provide natural light that's essen-
tial to our well-being. They can also provide safe-
ty, security and energy efficiency So it's no won-
der that the choices are extensive.
Windows and doors come in many types,
shapes and sizes, with varying maintenance
requirements, energy efficiency features, and a
wide range of materials and pnces. You may be
tempted to save on window quality to splurge
on the latest countertop treatments, but remem-
ber that trendy fashions will quickly lose their
appeal-and value.
So when it's time to choose windows and
doors, take the time and money necessary to do
it right.
1. Research your options. Do your homework
by talking with window dealers, builders and
architects to find out the types of windows they
recommend. Review manufacturer's catalogs and
Web sites.
2. Beware of "bargain" windows. Buy from a
brand-name window manufacturer whose name
you can trust. There are many "no name" com-
panies producing poor quality windows that are
inexpensive.
3. Make energy efficiency a. priority. By
researching and understanding glazing options,
you can make smart decisions on the gNass in your
windows. Glazing options are available with sin-
gle, double and triple panes of glass and with Low
E-coated surfaces. Remember, money saved buy-
ing low-quality windows is quickly lost to
increased heating or cooling costs.
4. Select windows that complement .your
home's style. All the pieces of your home should
come together for a unified look. Work with your
architect and builder to select the size, style and
shape of windows that complement the look you
want to achieve.
5. Determine the level of maintenance you prefer.
6. Think big. Light plays a major role in the
home, and big windows-or combinations of
windows-can have a positive impact on your
home. One of today's most popular trends, walls

Saturday morning at Davis Park in Ponte Vedra. The Panthers are preparing for Friday night's Preseason Classic at Bolles.
Members of the varsity squad will play the first half with junior varsity players participating in the final two quarters.
While last year's regular sea-

road trip to Birmingham,
Alabama to face Hoover High in
a nationallv-televised game, the
Panthers sta dcose to home this
year when they take on nation-
ally-ranked Memphis University
High in the Bill Bates Classic at
UNF on Saturday, Aug. 26.
-The Owls are defending
Tennessee state champions and
posted an 11-1 record last-sea-
son. The team has chartered a let
and will fly from Memphis to
Jacksonille on the morning of
the game, then return immedi-
ately aftenvard. Administrators
from both schools had tried to'
arrange for the teams to meet in
other sports on Aug. 26, but
schedules could not be coordi-
nated.- -
While the exhilaration of the
Class 4A state championship
Nease won eight months ago
has not quite died down, players
arid coaches know they'll have
targets on their backs through-
out the season.
"We're kind of used to it,"

we won a state title we felt like
we were targets because of the
program we've built here. Now
it'll just be more so."

It was a mixed bag of results
for the Nease High girls volley-

three straight games to the
Bulldogs, but rallied to clip
Episcopal 3-1 in the last match
of the tournament.

FISHING
A spectacular week of fishing in many areas
rT'he fishing doesn't get
| much better for king fish- ,
Sermen than it did last
Tuesday and Wednesday in the'
spoil area. Slow trollers couldn't
keep baits in the water. Sailfish
cruising in the same schools of
bait was an added bonus.
Chum fishermen are warm-
ing up for the August rup of big
tarpon but to get to, the tarpon
you have to fish through the
sharks.
Jonathan Moran and Charlie
Keen on the "Fished Out,"
Capt. Dennis Young and crew
on the "Sea Dancer" and Capt.
Kirk Waltz on the "Enterprise"
were the first to find the kings
Tuesday morning in the spoil
area. For several hours they
enjoyed some of the season's
best fishing.
Capt. Kirk with Mike
Schmidt, Dave Mickler and
Mike's son John caught 14
kings to 36 pounds, five Sharks
and a barracuda.
Jonathan Moran and Charles
Keen came into the spoil area a
few minutes later and not only
had 16 kings but caught a beau-
tiful sailfish.
On Wednesday morning the
bite was still on. Capt. Kirk on
his "Enterprise" with David
Bissel and son Brandon were
trolling the red hot spoil area,
again. They caught 13 kings, a
'cuda and two sharks. After
lunch they stopped by the jet-
ties and caught three redbass.
Another great day.
On Wednesday, Charles
Keen, James Gergley and' .
Jonathan Moran on Charles'
"Fished Otit" caught 25 kings
and 12 'cuda.
Capt. Steve Proctor with his
children, nine-year-old Carson
and 11-year-old Zachery and
Callen on the "Blue Magic,"
were in the bite early on
Wednesday morning, too, and
brought their limit of eight
kings into the boat within an
hour.
They just sat and watched
the action for another hour. A
trip to remember for the
Proctor crew.
Capt. Dennis Young and his
party on the "Sea Dancer" were
back on Wednesday morning
and stayed hooked up all mom-

OPINION
Jones and Jones-Drew shine in preseason opener
A s the Jacksonville Jaguars
Prepare for their first
A home preseason game
Saturday night against
Carolina, Coach Jack Del Rio
has a lot to mull over, but
maybe a lot to be cheerful
about, too.
He's not happy about the
way the Jaguars staggered
about like a drinking horse in
the first quarter down in
Miami, but he liked the way
the offense suddenly came to
in the second period when'it
was down 10-zip.
What was going on, fans and
aides alike wondered. How
come the Byron Leftwich
machine was sputtering like an
old Tin Lizzie?
Then the sun shone through
despite the night air, the U.S.
Marines spiritually arrived and:
presto! the Jaguars had come to
and were on the way to a tie
game, thanks to a stadium-
shaking 50-yard play from
REX EDMONDSON
PRESS BOX
Leftwich to Matt Jones on one
of the beautiful pass-catch-runs
the Jags have seen since way
back in the Jiifmy Smith days.
That was followed by a 21-
yard field goal by Seth Marler,
brought back from the Twinlight
Zone to fill in for wounded
Josh Scobee.
If Marler goes down, maybe
they can bring back Mighty
Mouse Mike Hollis, one'of the
early heroes in Jaguars history.
Mike would fit right in with
diminuitive Maurice Drew and
Chad .Owens.
But the first story of the
night, and maybe the biggest
of all, despite the 31-26 victory
over the Dolphins, was the,
long-awaited star flash of the
Arkansas traveler, Matt Jones.
That was the dazzling kind of
catch-and-scoot and dodging
the enemy Jaguars fans have
waited to see since the team
drafted him last year.
Oh, Matthew, what kept you
so long? Minus his golden
locks (some claimed he met a
gal named Delilah and drifted
off to sleep on a date, maybe
that's improved his speed.
After some of the draft duds
in.recent years, it's encouraging
to see Matt Jones turning into
what Wayne Weaver and staff
expected when they opened
the safe to him in the 2005
draft.
Del Rio really didn't expect
to play the starters much after
the opening stanza and didn't.
This, as everyone knows, is the
time to test the newcomers
and see what they have to
offer, if anything.
It's also a time to let quarter-
backs David Garrard and
Quinn Gray out of cold stor-
age, massage them back to life
and let them' play with the big
boys. It gets lonesome being
dead.
Garrard once again showed
why he would make some
team a valuable starting QB,
passing for 172 yards (6-for-1l)
and two touchdowns. This, of,
course, is only preseason, but
Garrard has proved himself
when filling in for ile injured
Leftwich.
SQuinn Gray got the most of
his short tenure, completing
two-of-four and also having a
TD.
When they finally got going,
the Jaguars offense looked
about as well as expected, but
it took a while to come to the
party.
The defense, expected to be
ready, was way behind and if it
hadn't been for an offense that
produced three THREE -
touchdown passes of more
than 50 yards, this game would
have gone down me drain.
Ironically, all three of those
passes were divided among the
three J'pitchers.
'Leftwich is in no danger of
losing his job. Heaven forbid.
Mr. Weaver and Coach James
Harris will see to that But it's
comforting to know'there are
understudies who wouldn't be
a disgrace if pushed into play-
ing duty.
And whatever became of
Jonathan Quinn?
The.entire story Saturday:
night wasn't about Matt Jones
and the lng passes. Vhat
about Maurice Drew, also
known as Maurice Jones-Drew?
He made a dandy reception on:
a Garrard pass and made his
Miami chasers look like turtles
trying to catch the hare, charg-
ing those 55 yards for a score.
They couldn't even catch the
hyphen in.his name, much less
his coattails..
Jones-Drew stands to get just
as much attention and praise
as expected when he was draft-
ed. He carried for 16 yards, in
four trips and returned a kick-
off for 20 yards. Ewen his quote
was colorful..
"I don't have to worry about
the coach behind, me telling
me to move left or right,". he
said. "I'm just out there doing
what I want to do."
If he keels that up, the
coaches won't bother him.
It must have influenced Chad
Owens, the other 5-foot, 7-inch
receiver who scored on a 62-
yarder from Garard. Put them
together and Drew and Owens
could pass for bookends.
The Jags got lucky in Miami.
This week the defense must
also show ip.

VOLLEY GIRL
Sow many of these
questions can you get
Right? Most of our local
races are more than just a lit-
tle warm, but which one is
HOT? What is our oldest local
race? In which race do turtles
trot?
It's a hot one all right, the'
.Hammerheads Olympic
Triathlon. The Carrabba's
Summer Beach Run celebrates
its 41st running on August
26th, the oldest race in
Florida. And a new event to
help preserve North Florida's
sea turtles, the Turtle Trot,
takes place onLabor Day.
But first a history lesson.
The year was 1965. Lyndon
B. Johnson was president of
the U.S. The Vietnam War
was gaining momentum but
w-ouldn't hit full stride until a
few years later. The Beatles, a
band from Liverpool,
England, were setting the
world on fire. Every kid had
to have a guitar and some
long hair. Civil rights and
women's rights were the
issues of the day. Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Robert F.
Kennedy were still alive and
making their voices heard.
Retrospectively, we know
now, it was the calm before
the storm. For not long after-
ward, America would never be
the same.
In the summer of '65 a
group of largely high school
runners assembled along
Seminole Beach for a five-
mile race organized by a few
Jacksonville area high school
cross-country coaches: Larry
MNonts, Chuck NlcPhilomy
and Ron Popell.
The race was born out of a
combination of financial need
and common sense. The three
coaches wanted a bit of a pre-
season tune-up prior to the
prep cross-country season and
had grown tired of the long,
expensive trip to South
Florida to find a race. The
obvious occurred to them:
WVh travel to a race when we.
could create our own?
So it was that the first
Beach Run was born.
The first Beach Runs floated
around under different man-
agement until in 1976 a new
organization, the Jacksonville
Track Club, took control of
the event. Not long after-
BOB FERNEE
RUNNING/FITNESS
wards the race saw some very .
impressive attendance num-
bers.
Originally the race would
start at one or two o'clock in
the afternoon, the hottest
part of a sweltering August
day. No one ever seemed to
mind the hellish conditions;
it was considered part of.the
experience.
Burning sun, melting heat,
and stifling humidity: all just
part and parcel of running
the illustrious, highly compet-
itive Beach Run.
In those days the race was a
straight shot: Five miles from
Hanna Park in Seminole
Beach south to the Lifeguard
Tower in Jackson\ille Beach.
Despite the conditions it was
rather nice. The beach was
full of people urging the
intrepid runners on. It had an
almost carnival-like atmos-
phere. And in five miles you
got to see a lot of beach.
. Today's Beach Run does its
best to avoid those dreadful
conditions. This year's race
will be run at the amiable
time of 6 p.m. The course is
out-and-back from the
Lifeguard Tower in
Jacksonville Beach.
In the "old days" you
would haye to take a shuttle
bus back to your car left in
Hanna Park. Now you have
your'car close by and you can
stick around for a party the
likes of which never existed
in the past.
The sponsor, Carrabba's
Italian Grill, will provide deli-
ciols ftee food and dtrink.

tion begins you can also

enjoy live music. No doubt
about it, the Beach Run post-
race party is one of the best
all year.
This classic, historic 5-mile
race takes place on Saturday,
August 26. There is a one-mile
fun run for kids that takes
place at 6:05 p.m., just five
minutes after the blue ribbon
event begins. All participants
in the one-mile will receive a
finishers' medal.
The Carrabba's Summer
Beach Run kicks off the new
2006-2007 Jacksonville Grand"
Prix season and in addition to
150 age-group awards to be
handed out, $600 worth of
prize money is up for grabs.
There is also a team division.
For more information about
the races call 731-1900.
Not enough for you? How
about an Olympic distance
triathlon the next day at 7:30
a.m.? Just as in the Olympics
the race has a swim of 1.5
kilometers, a 40K cycle ride
and a 10K run.
Taking place for the fourth
time, the Hammerhead's HOT
race is located at Camp
Blanding about 30 miles
southwest of Jacksonville).
The bike and foot race will
take place in Camp Blanding
and the swim portion of the
race will be in the tranquil
waters of Kingsley Lake.
Triathletes do not miss this
race. And if \ou delay you
just might. There is a 300-per-
son cut-off and no day-of-race
registration, so enter now.
Want to help out? The event
is looking for volunteers. Log
on to hammerheadolympic-
triathlon.com
The triathlon is growing
like a weed. Just look at our
area; we have gone from three
annual events to seven: the
three Beaches Fine Arts Sprint
races, the three on Fort
George Island and the HOT
race. More than double the
races in just the last few years.
And lastly, let's not forget
the turtles. The Turtle Trot
takes places on Labor Day,
September 2nd, at Fort Clinch
State Park in Fernandina
Beach. Five K and 10K
run/walks will begin at 8:30
a.m. and two fun-runs for
kids, a half-mile and a one-
mile, start at 9:4-5 a.m. Check
AmelialslandRunners.com for
more information.
