Nease football fined for 'major violations'


By ROBERT DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR
Nease High's football pro-
gram has been fined $20,000
and placed on sLx years' restric-
tive probation for what the
Florida High School Athletic
Association termed "major vio-
lations" regarding special
inducements and considera-
tions for one player, the organ-
ization announced Tuesday.
Additionally, the school's
entire athletic program has
been placed on administrative
probation for five years. Nease
was already serving adminis-
trative probation for violations


committed by the baseball pro-
gram.
The Panthers, who complet-
ed a perfect fl0- season with
last Friday's win over Bartram
Trail, are still eligible for post-
season play this year but can-
not participate in spring or fall
jamborees until 2012, nor can
the team play games outside
Florida, teams from states
other than Florida or appear on
televised broadcasts during the
regular season, according to
the FHSAA.
"I recognize and accept the
authority of the FHSAA and we
will not appeal their decision,"
Nease Principal Dr. Linda


Linda Thomsom


Craig
Craig


Thomson said Tuesday.
According to the FHSAA rul-
ing, an investigation deter-
mined three specific violations
of policy prohibiting induce-
ments for student-athletes, as
follows:
One player's father was
offered, and accepted, a job
with a company owned by a
Nease assistant coach.
The player and his father
accepted residence with a dif-
ferent Panthers assistant
coach, and
*The player was transported
to and from Nease by the assis-
tant with whom he and his
father were living.


"We take these violations
very seriously,' FHSAA
Commissioner John A. Stewart
said in a statement released
Tuesday.
"The school's head football
coach admitted to our investi-
gator that he was aware of the
arrangements between these
two assistant coaches and the
student-athlete's father.
"Furthermore, the violations
occurred while the school is
already on probation for viola-
tions in another sport. This
raises serious questions about
the level of control, if any, the

Valley man, 65,


shot on his land


by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
A 65-year-old Palm Valley
man is in Shands Rehab hospi-
tal in Gaines'ille recovering
from a rifle wound that sher-
iff's deputies say was inflicted
by the man's would-be neigh-
bor in O'Brien, Fla.
Arpad Laszlo Balint, a long-
time resident of Roscoe
Boulevard, was shot in the
stomach Oct. 20 when he was
walking..his .vacant parcel in
Suwarumee County, said Wilbur
Burnett, also of Palm Valley,
who has known Balint 10 to 12
years.
"He was over there looking
at it [the property], and from
what I gather from talking with
him [Balinti spoke to his
neighbor, and his neighbor
didn't want to get talked to."
The neighbor, Michael
Arthur Boyington, 59, called
Suwannee County Sheriff's
deputies, who found Balint
lying on the road and bleeding,
according to a report of the
Suwannee County Sheriff's
Office.
Boyington, who is in the
Suwannee County jail charged
with attempted second-degree
murder, "said he picked up his
44 caliber rifle and shot the


victim to protect his property,"
the report says.
Boyington said Balint had a
bush ax, according to the
report..
But the Sheriff's Office chief
deputy said this week there are
doubts about the claim of self-
defense.
"He was 100 foot from the
guy," Chief Deputy Ron
Colvin said in a telephone
interview Monday.
."The victim was not a threat
at over 100 feet away and the
defendant said the victim did-
n't make any verbal threats but
did raise the bush ax," the
report says.

Voters:

Keep 5

FROAI STAFF
With 94 votes separating the
two sides, voters decided
Tuesday to keep the makeup of
the County Commission as it
is, with five commissioners,
each chosen by all county vot-
ers.
With all 63 precincts, plus
early and absentee votes
reported, the proposal to
switch to seven commissioners
- with five chosen by district
and two countrywide was
defeated 28,214 (50.08 percent
to 28,120 149.92 percent).
The two Republicans run-
ning for County Commission
trounced their opponents. Tom
Manuel-garnered 96 percent of
the vote for the seat represent-
ing District 4, Ponte Vedra, and
his \write-in opponent, Richard
Olszewski, got 4 percent.
In the District 2, Southwest
St. Johns County race, Ron
Sanchez beat his Democratic
opponent, Ken Bryan, by a
margin of 63 percent to 37 per-
cent among early and absentee
voters.
Results of the election were
held until all precincts were
counted.


Riders, DEP at odds on Guana path

Logan Lynn, 9, of Ponte Vedra pitches his first game
Saturday at Davis Park. His team, the black team with the
Ponte Vedra Athletic Association, defeated their opponents,
the white team.


by LAURA FOWLER
ST4FF WRITER
A series of public meetings
on how to manage the Guana
Reserve has revealed a clear rift
among nature lovers.
On one side of the deepen-
ing schism stands groups like
the Sierra Club, active environ-
mentalists who work to pre-
serve and protect Guana land
and wildlife.
On the other side and with
just as much love for the
Guana -' are horse riding
groups such as the Ponte Vedra
Riding Club, which is request-
ing access to the Guana beach
through a "well-beaten foot
path" across from the northern
parking lot.
"We equestrians just asked to
be treated equally," Ellen
O'Brien, spokeswoman for the
riding club, said at a meeting
last week at the Guana's
Environmental Education
Center.
O'Brien sent a letter to Bob
Ballard, deputy secretary for
the Department of
Environmental Protection
(DEP), on Sept. 13 outlining
three requests: access to Guana
beach from the northern park-


ing lot, permission to park
horse trailers on the grass area
next to the Guana dam site
and two picnic tables at the
dam site.
As of Tuesday, the picnic
tables have been granted, the
trailhead has been denied and
the direct access to the beach is
still under review.
At last week's meeting, more
than a dozen people stood to
support these requests on
behalf of horseback riders
throughout the area who fre-
quent the Guana trails and
beaches.
All of the riders said they
share a love for the Guana's
beauty and merely want to
enjoy access to the land as hik-
ers and bikers do.
"If I didn't have the ability to
ride my horses on these trails, I
wouldn't be able to take advan-
tage of all the beauty [in the
Guana]," said Lynn Brown,
who moved to St. Johns
County three years ago from
Colorado.
But a spokesman for the
Sierra Club, which touts about
1,000 members in St. Johns
County, carried a message of
opposition.


The Sierra Club opposes any
changes to the Guana that
would impact vegetation,
including any new trails.
The Friends of the Guana, a
group of about 700 members,
also had questions concerning
the impacts of horseback rid-
ing and the safety hazards asso-
ciated with riders crossing A1A.
Because the goal of the meet-
ing was to collect public input
about the Guana's new man-
agement plan, Guana and DEP
staff did not offer answers to
these questions.
But Ballard did offer to put to
rest a "ridiculous" rumor that
bulldozers would be used to
clear a path through the dunes.
"I've never seen more gor-
geous diness" Ballard said in
the meeting. "We will never do
anything to harm those
dunes."
In a telephone interview
Tuesday, Ballard said the picnic
tables were granted as O'Brien
and the riding club requested
but the trailhead at the dam
site was denied.

Violation:


Continued from A-i
school's administration has
over its athletic program."
Thomson defended that con-
trol, stating that Nease turned
itself in to the FHSAA when the
violations were discovered.
"Because we turned our-
selves in, I think that's one rea-
son why the penalties weren't
such that we would be disqual-
ified from participating in the
playoffs," she' said.
St. Johns County schools
Superintendent Joseph Joyner
said Tuesday that the School
District is "disappointed" by
the violations.
"I am encouraged that the'
school itself reported it once
they found out it was a poten-
tial violation," Joyner said
Tuesday afternoon.
"We certainly accept the
ramifications and we'll move
forward with the idea that this


is only going to make Nease
better," he said.
"Mistakes were made but
we're going to correct them,"
She said, adding that among the
steps to be taken is making sure
all coaches are aware of FHSAA
bylaws.
Joyner said Thomson "has
taken appropriate action at the
school" but would not elabo-
rate.
He said the fine would be
paid from Nease's athletic
budget.
"We do not believe the
intent was to induce a'student-
athlete to attend Nease, but we
realize that circumstances cre-
ated the appearance of improp-
er conduct," Thomson said.
"We've recognized the mis-
take and we're going to strive
to have an exemplary program
here at Nease."
. Thomson added the player
,remains on the team and no


disciplinary action has been
taken against the coaches.
The Panthers' roster includes
at least three players who
transferred in prior to the start
of the football season. Two
came from outside St. Johns
County and one from another
state.
Nease head football coach
Craig Howard said late Tuesday
all inquiries about 'the viola-
tions. are being referred to
Thomson.
"We were up front with [the
FHSAA] from the start," he
said. "The player has not been
ruled ineligible arid we're just.
going to go ahead and prepare
as. always for Friday night's
game."
Nease, is slated to host
Belleview in, the 'opening
round of the Class 4A playoffs
in 'a 7:30 p.m. kickoff at
Panther Stadium. '. '

SHe said. gopher tortoises
inhabit the grassy area where
the club wants to park their
trucks and horse trailers.
Equestrian access. to the
Guana beach from the.north-
ern parking lot is still under
consideration. ,
Ballard said, in his opinion,
there are two "perfectly legiti-
mate" ways to access the
Guaia beach: from Mickler's
Landing to the north and from
Vilano Beach to the south.
O'Brien said *Tuesday that
both Mickler's and the Gate gas
station in Vilano Beach, which
is the closest parking area to
the south, are three miles from
the Guana beach.
As for the foot path across
from the northern parking lot,
Ballard said the endangered
beach mouse inhabits the area
and there is thick vegetation
surrounding the path.'
There is also an emergency
vehicle access to the beach just
to the'north, but it is 8/10 of a
mile from the parking lot and
it is unsafe for the riders to


travel that far along A1A.
Ballard said an equestrian
dune walkover has even been
mentioned to him, but those
are "extremely expensive" and
are not currently in the DEP's
budget.
;"L don't have the funding to
do any of that,"'he said. "Our
money needs to be spent on.
Other things." ,'
Horseback riding has been
allowed for many years on the
Guana trails Monday through
Friday.
Last year, a one-year pilot
program extending equestrian
access to seven days a week
began along with another pro-
gram to allow horseback riding
on the Guana beach.
The first program expiredin
. October and the second will
expire on Thanksgi\ing Day,
according to Ballard.
Ballard said Tuesday both
programs will be extended
another year so that water
quality can be monitored for
bacteria levels from : horse.
feces.
Dave Williams, director of


beach services for St. Johns.
County, said in an interview
Tuesday that -. extensive
research on the effects of horse
manure on the beach was con-,
ducted several years ago by the
county to determine whether
horses should be allowed on
public beaches.
Williams said horse manure,
which consists of, mainly oats
and hay, virtually dissolves in
the waves and does not cause
bacteria levels to spike.
,Williams said the count\
requires horseback riders to
ride on 'the wet part of the
beach so that waves can wash
away the droppings.
"To 'this date we've never
had an issue," he said.
Williams said he does not
know how many horses are onr
county, beaches on .a daily
basis, though that is currently
being studied by the county's
Beach Services Division. No
more than 25 horses are
allowed on Guana beaches per
day.

The Leader' Opinioni


Secret sessions shut

out the citizens


A hearing later this month to consider possible settle-
ment with those who want to open a Wal-Mart in
Neptune Beach will not be conducted in secret session.
That was the final decision of the city council, but not
before several councilors made it clear they would rather
the special magistrate's hearing, a form of arbitration
that could result in a settlement, be held at a meeting
:: closed to the public.
It would be easier if the public is not part of the
process was the essence of the council's arguments for
excluding citizens from the session.
Fortunately, the council heeded the sage advice of its
legal advisor, City Attorney Chris White, and conclud-
ed, after discussion, that the meeting will be open to the
public.
State law is very clear that the public cannot be
Excluded from public meetings, except in cases where
the governing body is discussing litigation in which it is
"presently a party."
The city has rejected Wal-Mart's bid to open a store at
600 Atlantic Boulevard, but no litigation has been filed
so the dry is not "presently a party" to litigation.
Public interest in the proposed Wal-Mart has been
intense. Excluding citizens from a hearing on the mat-
ter at this juncture is both ill-advised and, according to
the city attorney, illegal.
"The best way to ensure that government truly repre-
sents the people it serves is to keep the government
open and'accessible to those people," the state attorney
general has said.
We agree and would remind the council that making
decisions in secret is a means to guarantee public dis-
trust in both the process and the outcome.

Solutions to homelessness need attention


To the editor:
"None of us are home until all
of us are home", these are the
words of Sister Mary Scullion,
RSNM, director of "Project Home"
and International expert on
homelessness. Taking these
words to heart, we are our
brothers/sisters keepers!
Homelessness is not indige-
nous to "the Beaches" nor
Jacksonville. It is a national dis-
grace that needs national atten-
tion.
Back in the 1960-1970s, most
every state passed "deinstitu-
es tionalization" legislation. The
u- intent of that legislation was
:o that we would no longer ware-
e- house people, medicate them to
a the hilt and in essence, take
:k away their personhood. We
I would place them into "group

Hunting is violent


To the editor:
In response to Ann Von
SThron's "Hunters' daughters
don't whine" column, first I
would like to ask, what are you
talking about?
Are you supporting hunting,
* or opposing it? Hunting is no
longer needed for survival, it is
just a violent form of recreation.
Hunting has contributed-to the
extinction of animal species all
over the world, and has obvi-
ouslh contributed to the decline
of quail populations in Florida.
Hunters often shoot, and injure
animals, and then don't retrieve
them. That leaves the animals
in the wild to suffer prolonged,
painful deaths.
Biologists have estimated that
more than 3 million wounded
ducks go unretrieved every year.
Hunting accidents often injure
or kill unintended victims, such'
as horses, cows, dogs, cats, or
other hunters. Hunting is not
only dangerous, it is wuneces-
sary.


Quails are sweet birds, they
care for their young, and you
can often see them traveling in
lines with their babies. Quails
are, also tame birds,, you can
almost go up behind them and
grab them. How could someone
kill such a loving bird, and for
no reason?
Sport hunting jeopardizes
nature's balance, and it won't be
long until quails, and other
game animals become endan-
gered, or even extinct. Hunting
disrupts migration patterns,
which in turn, also disrupts
nature's balance.
I, personally, don't see how
someone could hunt, or could
support hinting. So, Dr.
vonThron, if your friend's freez-
er is filling up with quail car-
casses, maybe the solution is
not just cooking them, maybe
it's to stop hunting.

vised "follow up care". That is
the meat of the legislation as
well as its intent.
Has it been carried out, have

ment? Well, you tell me. When
I see the people wandering aim-

,Better retireiient optionS


To the editor:
Residents as well as the
employees of the City of
Atlantic Beach need to pay dose
attention to the details of the
responses given by the City
Manager regarding the opera-
tion of the city pension fund.
The city employees are
already paid far less than their
private industry and even gov-
ernment counterparts in similar
positions and are stuck in a plan
that mandates their participa-
tion in a long term investment
that effectively yields no inter-
est at maturity, assuming they'
vest in the plan to begin with.
Would YOU invest your own
funds in such a plan?
Well...you are! Sound familiar?
(Social Security)
And if they fail to remain in
the plan for at least five years,
the best they can hope for is to
get their own contributions
back...without interest and like-
ly with a penalty for "early
withdrawal". Makes you want
to just flock do\wn to city hall
and apply, doesn't it?
Even social security has a cost
of giving adjustment, as poorly
managed as it is. Is it asking too
much to want to at least offset
the cost of inflation when you
retire?
Neither did they bother to
indicate that for every year.of
age less than a regular retire-
ment age '(despite .vesting.i
reduces' your percentage by as
much as 5 percent per year in
some plans, leaving otherwise
uninformed persons to really
believe that a city employee
could work five years, retire and
draw more than what he/she
was actually, making when they
retired.
Not likely? NO..'.IMPOSSI-
BLE. In order to even make 100
percent of your average final
compensation at a 3 percent
annual accrual you would have


to work at least 34 years and be
at least the minimum retire-
ment age and then you could
get 100 percent, but not more.
Even then, your wages would
have had to remain the same for
the best five years of your term
of employment, too.
While it is true that the bur-
den of funding any city pension
plan rests with the taxpayers, so
does the responsibility to make
wise investment choices for
your employees and taxpayers.
There are other choices avail-
able to local governments on
pension plan participation
which DO offer cost of living
adjustments and do NOT
reduce the annual level of
accrual and very well could
limit the liability of the taxpay-
ers to only that amount con-
tributed on behalf of each city
employee.
As if it is not already chal-
lenging enough to fill critical
city service positions in our
beaches municipalities, contin-
uing to mandate participation
in poor long term investments
that do not even provide for
rises in the cost of living, let
alone have at least the potential
to earn even higher dividends
will certainly not make it any>
better. REDUCING the annual
percentage earning from 2.85
percent to 2.50 percent is a giant.
step in the wrong direction..
You need to at least consider
either associating with the
state/county retirement plan, or
fashioning a modem retirement
system patterned after that plan
. that makes fixed city contribu-
tions into city-sponsored retire-
ment plans that are managed by
'the employees themselves and
fix the liability for the city to
nothing more than the, contri-
butions made to the employees'
accounts. This would eliminate
any unfunded liability for the,
city .and provide even better

One wonders why Mayport,

have open spaces,, room to

redesigned. Would they not be
better equipped to absorb the
children into their school sys-

as Maypport? How does that

N oted historian and

Right. That description will
certainly register with anyone
who has been underwater in ;

priceless assets.
That's why it was a downer
for me to read an Associated
Press story the other day
announcing that one of our
largest spring systems has
stopped flowing.
The several springs on the
Panhandle Gulf Coast that
feed into Spring Creek over
there are said by researchers
to be no longer flowing. One
theory advanced is that a
Sept. 10 earthquake in the
Gulf of Mexico collapsed
caves through which the
water moves.
This possibility has been
discounted, however, because
the flow stopped over six
months back, long before the
earthquake occurred.
Unfortunately, there are
other ways that a spring can
have its water output cut or
halted.

the Southwest Florida Water

Graham supports Cecil vote


To the editor:
The Cecil Field opponents' full-page advertise-
metit in the Monday, Nov., 6, 2006 Florida
Times-Union seemed to say I support their
effort to keep the Navy out. That is completely
untrue. I have long supported the Cecil Field
referendum and the. return of the Navy, and I
have often said 'so publicly.
The ad created the impression my position is
Sthe opposite of what it,actually is, and used my
name without my permission. It was particu-
larly frustrating that it happened on the eveof


the referendum, when there would be no oppor-
tunity to correct that misinformation before the
vote.
Some of the Cecil Field opponents are my
friends and supporters, but we disagree on this
issue. I believe giving .our .fighting men and
women in the Navy the best training facility is
the right thing to do for our city, our state, and
the United State of America. I proudly support
the return of the jet base to Cecil Field.

8 DUI citations

issued in NB
FROM STAFF
Eight DUI citations were
issued at a Neptune. Beach
checkpoint Saturday, accord-
ing to Neptune Beach Police
Chief David Sembach.
The checkpoint ran near
Town Center at Third Street
from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m.
with the help of several other
Beaches and area police
departments.
There were a total of 303
vehicles which entered the
checkpoint and every third
vehicle was stopped. There
.were also 83 traffic citations
and. 10 arrests, according to
an after action report.
At Monday's Neptune
Beach City Council meeting,
councilors said they were
impressed with the check-
point results and asked
Sembach if it was possible to
increase' the number of
checkpoints, rather than
holding just one annually.
"I think it's a great exer-
,cise," Councilor John

San Pablo seeks city

help to improve lot


by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
A Jacksonville Beach elemen-
tary school is looking to the city
to help irrigate its playground
and update its play equipment.
The playground at San Pablo
Elementary on the comer of
18th Avenue North and 10th
Street is open to the public on
evenings and weekends as stipu-
lated in a grant to fund a sprin-
kler system for the school's ath-
letic field.
The school received $65,000
several years ago to install the
irrigation system. Fletcher High
School uses the grounds as a
practice field.
Kendra Robertson, San Pablo's
Student Advisory Council tSAC)
chairperson, said in an Oct. 17
letter to Mayor Fland Sharp that
school officials want permission
to tap into the irrigation system
to help beautify the campus and'
keep the playground safe.
"We are happy to share this
playground with the communi-
ty if that means receiving some
funding to update it," she said.
"In fact, the athletic fields them-
selves bring many families in
that are using it already." .
Robertson said the. play-


ground is unsafe and unkempt
without the proper irrigation.
"The lack of irrigation has
resulted, in sandy' soil with
patchy grass growth and lots of
sand spurs and fire ants," she
said. "This may seem minor but
it has become a safety issue."
According to Robertson, one
student fell into a patch of sand
spurs while chasing a basketball,
"resulting in lots of tears'and
painful pulling of each spur out
of her clothing and skin."
Fire ants prevent students
from utilizing a courtyard area
and trees purchased with grant
monies received by the PTA, are
not thriving in the sandy soil
despite being hand watered.
Parks and Recreation Director
Gary Meadors Tuesday said the
Duval County School Board is
responsible for the irrigation
system that is used to water the
practice field.
SMeadors walked the campus
with Robertson to look at the
site and provide information
but ultimately he said the deci-
sion is up to the school board.
He said he also discussed the
situation with Fletcher High
School's athletic director, Joe
Reynolds.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 27,2006


Contact Dennis W. Hollingsworth, C.F.C.
St. Johns County Tax Collector
904-209-2250


Tax Collector's Office is Self Sustaining

St. Johns County and several other taxing authorities within the County are going to be surprised by the
St. Johns County Tax Collector. Although the tax.bills will be in.the mail within a week, they will be
receiving a check and not a bill. St. Johns County Tax Collector, Dennis W. Hollingsworth will give the
County and taxing authorities $3.713,829.81.
This 3.7 million represents unused revenue the Tax Collector's office earned for the citizens of St. Johns
County that was not expended or used in the operation of the Tax, Tag and Driver License Offices. The
Tax Collector's Office is a self-sustaining office, operating from monies regulated by Florida Statutes on
commissions from the collection of taxes and fees. for the mandated State functions of the Division of
Motor Vehicles, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, as well as the Department of
Revenue. The excess revenues also include interest earned from' investments.
The excess revenue Mr. Hollingsworth has collected over the past year are a result of the tax and tag
offices operating with prudence and efficiency. Mr. Hollingsworth is honored to serve the citizens of St.
Johns County by managing their Tax Collector's Office. "I am personally accountable to each citizen
for the way we spend their money and operate their office," Hollingsworth said. "We cannot foolishly
spend without realizing we will be held accountable."
The major portion of the refund ($3,430,181.06) will go to the St. Johns County Board of County
Commissioners since it is one of the largest taxing authorities. The other taxing authorities receiving
this financial surprise are:


St. Johns Mosquito Control
St. Johns River Water Management District
St. Augustine Airport
Hastings Drainage
Flagler Estates
School Debt
Ponte Vedra Municipal Service District
Florida Inland Navigational District
St. Augustine Pon, Waterway & Beach District
Julington Creek Plantation CDD
St. Augustine Fire Assessment

"One of our annual goals is to increase our efficiency in operating the Tax Collector's Office. As a
result we try to increase the excess fees or unused revenues each year. We have been able to match, if
not increase, the revenues most of the years since I have had the opportunity to serve as Tax Collector,"
Holingsworth said.

This refund amount is an estimate because more monies are generated by the office and received
throughout the year from other State Agencies such as mobile home revenues received from the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and revenues in escrow accounts in Tallahassee
from the Vessel Revolving Trust Fund which are distributed quarterly by the Tax Collector's Office.

The total earned revenue from interest on investments for the taxing authorities by the Tax Collector's
Office for St. Johns County for 2005-2006 was approximately $657,748.53.

The total revenue earned bythe St. Johns County Tax Collector's Office was in excess of $4,657,318.27.

Bocce ball t akes root on Vicars green

by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER", /
Ever heard of a game
called marbles for adults?
Bowling without pins? How .,
about shuffleboard in the
round?
They are all nicknames for
bocce ball, one of the oldest
games in recorded history
that'was spread throughout
the world by the Romans.
Now-the fun-seeking resi-
dents at Vicar's Landing in
Sawgrass can enjoy the
unique game on a new'court
that-was installed this fall
"It's taken a nice spin here
because everyone seems to
love it," Jack Felton, social
chairman and resident at
Vicar's, said Tuesday, the day
after the bocce court was cel-
ebrated with an outdoor-
party.
Felton said the idea for the
bocce court came from Jack
and Bev Dobbins, two resi-
dents at Vicar's who use to
play the game up north.:
The long, rectangular
bocce court was installed in
the extra space next to the
retirement community's cro-'
quet court, which was set up,
at Vicar's in the spring.
The Dobbinses brought
some of their own bocce
equipment to teach some of;
the other residents how to
play.
The rules are simple. There
are two teams with two peo-'.
pie on each team.
After a coin toss, one team
starts the game by rolling a
white ball called the pallina
down to the other end of the
court. The pallina is about
the size of a baseball.
Then, from the side the
pallina was thrown, each
team rolls four larger "boc-

World Grill offers international cuisine,

attentive service at affordable prices


When he was only 13 years
old and working at the
Sherman Brothers Delicatessen
in St. Louis, Mo., Brett Harris
dreamed of someday having
his own restaurant. vTenty-
five years later, he's living his
dream as owner/chef of the
newly opened World Grill in
Jacksonville Beach.
"1 think our guests will be
-surprised at our menu and our
prices," said Brett, who has
been in Jacksonville for 11
years after working his way up
in prestigious kitchens such as
the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta, the
Marriott and Embassy Suites ..
before becoming executive
chef at the Omni Hotel in A,
downtown Jacksonville. He's
even taught culinary arts at the
First Coast Technical' Institute.
"Our lunches run about $11,
including tax and tip, and are '' ^^i
served in about 10 minutes, l.,
and dinners range from $12.95 With more than 50 years of
to $28.95," he said. World Grill's executive chef Frank Boice
appetizers and mouth-watering of the world at the newly op
desserts run about $7 each. Be
sure to ask about Yetta Seltzer's Chocolate Smetna Cake.
-"Yetta is my great-great grandmother from St. Louis, and
the recipe. has been passed down to me," Brett said.
"Smetna is the Yiddish word for sour cream, and the cake
is one of our signature desserts 'here, along with our irre-
sistible peach cobbler."
In addition to fresh food featuring fresh weekly mari-
nades, great prices and a comfortable environment, what
makes World Grill different is its wood-burning grill. "It's
.our niche and the whole concept behind this restaurant,"
Brett said. "We burn mesquite and hickory wood because it
'enhances the flavor of our food and makes it look pretty,
too." The authentic grill, which is fired up at 9 a.m. to have
it ready for lunch, burns all day and evening until the
restaurant closes.
"The wood-burning grill is also health conscious," he
said.."Although we have some items that are sauteed, basi-
cally we offer healthy choices and guests can build lunch
or dinner around a baby spinach salad with grilled fish,
shrimp, chicken or beef tips marinated in our weekly mari-
nade." World Grill also offers vegetarian, kosher and lac-
tose-intolerant items. Ask your server about these options.
But there's even more! World Grill offers cooking classes
so you, too, can learn some of the restaurant's secrets to its
mouth-watering entrees. Held on the second Monday of
every month, each class features a different cuisine from
around the world. "Our first class, slated for Dec. 11, is
called 'The Taste of Tuscany,"' Brett said. "It will never be
the same cooking,- other months we'll prepare dishes from
Jamaica, Russia, France and other regions of Italy."
The classes-a leisurely three to four hours long-are
thorough and generate lively food.-discussions, he said.
"We don't rush it because we want the class to be an expe-
rience," he said. "All participants receive instructions and a
menu, and then we bring the food. outon big platters and'


combined experience, (left to right) pastry chef Mary Huber,
and owner/chef Brett Harris invite you to experience the flavors
ended World Grill on Beach Boulevard.
serve it family-style with a wine from the region we're
studying."
A gift certificate for one class or a series of World Grill's
cooking classes would be a perfect gift year round. The
price is $125 per person per class and includes instruction,
recipes and menus. The cooking classes offer a creative
activity for social groups, card clubs, dinner clubs, bridal
showers and business organizations, too.
It's not too early to make holiday dining plans, and
World Grill offers a classy, festive environment with a
delectable holiday menu. "We will be doing a phenomenal
plated menu from noon to 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day,"
Brett said. "It includes an appetizer, entire, choice of
dessert and coffee or tea all for $26.95 plus tax and tip."
A New Year's Eve package is also available.
"We want World Grill to be known as the place where
you get impressive service and phenomenal food," Brett
said. "Frank Boice, executive chef, and I are both center-of-
the-plate people who demand that (1) our food comes out
hot and on time, (2) our servers provide fantastic service
and (3) our menu is affordable. The next time you're decid-
ing where to go for lunch or dinner, we want World Grill
to be your first choice." A private room is also available for
up to 40 people.

The Beaches Leader/Ponte Vedra Leader


Ex-MP suited for school administration


by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Caleb Thomas is a rare
commodity in the high
school coaching ranks: He's a
football coach who teaches
English.
Thomas, 28, is also ideally
suited to be a high school
dean of boys someday, hav-
ing spent six years as a mili-
tary policeman in the Army,
including a year as an "MP in
Camp Bucca, Iraq.
"I loved the Army, but I'm
not a recruiter," said
Thomas, who teaches
English at Fletcher High, is
faculty sponsor of the
school's newspaper and
coaches junior varsity foot-
ball.
"I tell students first and


Caleb Thomas
foremost to go to' college.
But if they don't have the
means to do that, than the


military can help them out."
Thomas spent more than
10 months as an MP at
Camp Bucca, one of the
largest U.S.-controlled deten-
tion centers in Iraq.
He also guarded prisoners
as a Army MP at Camp Delta
in Guantanamo, Cuba.
"We were the first MP's in
Cuba when the Taliban pris-
oners got there," said
Thomas, who put his college
studies on hold at Florida
State University to serve on
active duty after 9/11.
"We definitely had the
extremists [at Camp Bucca].
Republican Guard, fedayeen
and Ba'ath Party militia. You
name it."
The son of a former high
school football coach,
Thomas was studying


English at FSU and preparing
to follow his father into
coaching when he joined the
Army Reserve to supplement
his income.
A year later, in the wake of
9/11, Thomas' reserve unit,
the Tallahassee-based 160th
Military Police Battalion, was
deployed to St. Petersburg to
guard the ports.
In 2002, the 160th was
ordered to Cuba to guard the
first prisoners from the war
on terrorism.
Thomas returned from
Cuba and finished up at FSU,
graduating in 2003.
WVith a degree in English,
he had his choice of high
school teaching and coach-
ing jobs in the state.
He chose Fletcher because
of its close proximity to the


ocean.
Thomas could have easily
gone into law enforcement
after his six-year Army stint
because the advanced train-
ing he received at Fort
Leonard Wood, Mo., is
equivalent to graduating
from a certified police acade-
my.
*An expert marksman with
the 9mm pistol, Thomas rose
to the rank of sergeant in
the Army, and was a squad
leader in Iraq.
At Camp Bucca near Basra,
he worked in one of five
prison compounds, each
containing between 300 and
500 detainees.
"It was the size of five real-
1l big football fields,"
recalled Thomas, who served
at the prison camp from


February to November 2004.
"We got a lot of prisoners
when Abu Ghraib closed
down. I wanted [to go] Iraq.
I joined the Army Reserve
because they were essentially
going to pay me to workout.
But nobody saw 9/11 com-
ing. I liked to be a cop, be
on SWAT and kick in doors,
but the only reason I'm not
is I want to have a family."
Thomas also loves coach-
ing too much, especially
football, a sport he played at
Tallahassee Godby High,
where his father was the
defensive coach in the mid-
1990s.
"All the things I learned in
football, like discipline and
chain of command, all that
rolled over into the mili-
tary," Thomas said.

etable selected for that week.
Condiments were also offered
with some of the foods, for
example ranch dressing with
the raw cauliflower. The chil-
dren were offered second
helpings of the food if there
was enough available.
The Axson students could
choose to either try the'food
or decline to do so. The UNF
students observed whether the
reaction of the other children,
the wa: they presenter offered
or described the food, and the
appearance of the food influ-
enced whether a child would
try the food or not, said
Kaplan.
The UNF students collected
information on the children's
immediate response to the
new food and whether having
a "trendsetter in the group'"
leads more children to try the
food, she said: They also
tracked how many children
had previously eaten the food.
"It was interesting to watch
the kids," said Meredith
Crawford, one of the UNF stu-.
dents. "The fruit usuallyy goes
very well because you can tell
them it's sweet."'
Cherish Kelly, another UNF
student, said that working on
the project gives us "insight
about how we eat food. As
college students, we go out a
lot or have take-out."
After each "Tasting
Tuesday," the Axson students

Selected groups of Axson
students were also interviewed
throughout,the study to deter-
mine ifithe tastingg" had an
impact on their interest in
fruits and vegetables.
Following the completion of
the tastingg" at Axson, the
UNF students will analyze the
data they have collected and
write a paper on the project.
The students will probably be
expected to complete their


papers by the end of the
semester, said Perry.
Findings from the study
may be of interest to other
groups that are involved with
nutrition and children,s
health, said Kaplan. She
expects that the study results
will be shared with the public
school community and with
the Jacksonville Obesity
Coalition.

victory over Groveland South
Lake last Thursday night.
The Panthers downed the
visiting Eagles, 25-18, 25-21,
26-28, 25-17, to win the Class
4A Region 3-4A final.
Nease's final point, an
emphatic kill by junior out-
side hitter Paige DePriest,
touched off an exuberant cele-
bration of fans and players as
the team equalled its furthest
voyage into the postseason.
"It still hasn't hit me that
we actually won yet," said
senior middle blocker Laura
Phillips. "Nease hasn't made
the final four since 1992. It's
surreal. It's awesome. We're all
stoked that we set this as a
goal and we achieved it."
Nease rode the hot hands of
DePriest, who had 24 points,
13 kills and a dozen digs, and
Meghan Sherman, who
totalled 42 assists, 21 points
and 17 digs.
But it was far from a two-
player show. The Panthers
received major contributions
from middle blocker Christina
Vergo (nine kills), senior right
side Meghan Oakley (eight
kills), 24 digs from libero
Cierra Pillsbury, seven kills
from setter Tara Carrigan, and
Phillips' five blocks.
"Our defense and our tenac-
ity are what stood out
tonight," said Nease co-coach
Dawn Madden.
"The fact that we were in
better shape was significant,
too. I mean, we dug some
amazing balls on defense. We
played out of our minds on
defense and I accredit a lot of
the plays that we made to the
fact that we are so condi-
tioned. They busted their tails
all summer and when we got
into season we continued to
work out hard. I think it
showed out there,"
The Panthers were in posi-
tion for a three-game sweep of
South Lake, but the visitors
rallied in a tension-filled third
game that saw six lead
changes down the stretch. The
Eagles eventually prevailed,
28-26.
"It was frustrating in the

third game because our serv-
ing was off and we tried to
minimize the errors but it did-

run of six straight Nease
points as the home team took
a 7-1 lead it would never relin-
quish. South Lake closed to
within 14-11, but Nease put
together another run to take
seven of the next eight points
and a commanding lead that
gave way to a finish as anti-


climactic as the previous game
had been up in the air.
"We've played better at
times this season, but it
always depends,' Madden said.
"You have to play to the team
that you [are facing]. This is
the best defense we've seen.
So this is not the best we've
ever played, but we've also
never seen a defense like
[theirs]. South Lake is the best
defensive team we've come
across."
The post-match celebration
was hardy because the
Panthers know they have a


monumental task ahead of
them in the semifinal round:
Fort Lauderdale's Cardinal
Gibbons, 30-0 on the season
arid holder of 17 state volley-
ball championships.
Madden said players and
coaches won't have much
time to enjoy Thursday's \ic-
tor'.
"We're immediately think-
ing ahead," she explained.
"We've already got them
scouted and we're going to do
a little bit more scouting as we
get ready for Cardinal
Gibbons."

On paper, it looks like a

Gibbons is the state's top-

appearances and 17 state
titles. Head coach Louise
Crocco is 1,103-119 in 38 sea-
sons and the school has pro-


duced more Div. I college vol-
leyball players than any in
Florida.
But Phillips said the
Panthers know volleyball
matches are deided,on the
court, not in the history
books.
"We'll play Cardinal
Gibbons and we know they're
an extremely competitive
team," Phillips said. "If we
bring our best game, we'll give
them a good game. We're
going to play hard no matter
what. We're going to give
them a run for their money."


Panthers achieve perfect regular season


Crisp passing game lifts

Nease over pesky Bears

in war of district champs


By ROBERT DeANGELO
-' -SPORTS EDITOR
A perfect regular season has
been achieved and now its full
speed ahead for the Nease
High football team as it seeks
to defend the Class 4A state
championship won last
December in Miami.
The Panthers open the 2006
postseason Friday night at
home with a regional quarter-
final contest
against
Belleview.
But last \ .
Friday it was
all about the ,
Panthers' quest
for their first
10-0 season
since 1992.
Bartram Trail,
the District 2-
5A champion,
was supposed
to present a BEARS
stiff challenge PANTHER
for Nease, but
junior quarter-
back Ted Stachitas was nearly
flawless in shredding the Bears
defense for 269 yards and a
pair of TD passes in the 24-17
victory .
"I thought Stachitas was
brilliant in passing," said
Nease head coach Craig
Howard. "I mean, he was 8-
for-10 in the first half, then
we came back out in the sec-
ond half and he went 6-for-7
down the field. It was high-
percentage stuff and Ted [was]
reading the coverage so well.
That's what our game plan
was."


S


Bartram Trail had a couple
of opportunities to make a
statement early in the game,
but two drives from deep
within Nease territory result-
ed in only three points -
Ryan Brookins' 25-yard field
goal and a missed attempt
from 15yards out.
"Wind affected the kicking
game more than our offensive
strategy," said Bartram coach
Darrell Sutherland. "We were
really looking
more at what
they were
doing defen-
sively and just
trying to take
advantage of
anything we
might be able
to get that
way."
Nease put 17
second-quarter
points on the
17 board when
24 Allen Schaefer
Connected on a
52-yard field
goal, Christian Dennis caught
a 42-yard scoring strike from
Stachitas and Chris Johnson
banged into the end zone
from six yards out.
"We were a little shaky,
actually, in the first drive but
then after that we stepped
up," Stachitas said. "Everyone
started playing great. The line
was making great blocks, the
receivers were catching the
ball.
"We knew they would blitz
a lot and our line picked up
everything perfectly."
The Panthers took a 17-3

lead into the locker room at
halftime, but the Bears
responded with a 80-yard scor-
ing drive to start the third
quarter. The drive was sparked
by Bartram QB Kyle Parker
who finished the night 13-of-
23 for 169 yards passing and
one touchdown. Parker scam-
pered in from 8 yards out to


shrink Nease's lead to 17-10
midway through the third
quarter.
But the Panthers responded
with a scoring drive of their
own that culminated in a 10-
yard TD pass from Stachitas to
Quinton Huggins.
"It was critical that we
scored after they scored to


start the second half," Howard
said. "If we hadn't done that,
we might not have won.
"I thought it was rea"impor-
tant and it may ha1'6een.our
best drive of the year. It was
mostly Stachitas reading cov-
erages and putting the ball in
the right spot, and different
receivers making key catches


in that drive.
Up 24-10, the Panthers
defense went to work, chasing
the elusive Parker relentlessly
and shutting down Bartram's
running game. That effort was
aided by an injury to Bears
running back Terrell Ford,
who went down with a leg ail-
ment following the opening
kickoff.
Panthers all-world guard
James Wilson sat out the.game
to rest his injured knee, but
said he'll be back at full
strength for Friday's playoff
game.
Howard called Belleview "a
tough, hard-nosed football
team" that runs a Super Power
offense featuring two tight
ends and two wings.
"They just try to stick it
down your throat," said
Howard.
In terms of common oppo-
nents, the biggest threat to
Nease's unblemished season
came in a 35-32 thriller
against Palatka Sept. 22. Last
Friday night Belleview crushed
Palatka, 49-17, as the Rattlers
amassed 430 yards of offense
and scored 42 unanswered.
points.
BeUeview'gained 310 yards
on the ground and quarter-
back Thomas Carty completed
two passes for 120 yards, a 77-
yard bomb from Carty to
Andrew Akage on the second
play of the night set the tone
against Palatka. Bellevlew run-
ning back Quentin Samuel
rushed for 190 yards and thiee
TDs on 15 carries.
NOTE: James Wilson was
one of three area players rec-
ognized by the U.S. Army All-
American Bowl Sunday at
AUtel Stadium prior to the
Jaguars-Titans game. Wilson,
DeAngelo McCray and
Lorenzo Williams are three of
the nation's top 80 football
players.

FISHING



Fierce winds took atoll on fishing lastwe


trong northeast winds
took a toll on last week's
fishing, but at Guana
Dam, in the river and along
the jetties, the story was much
different.
On Wednesday, along the
big jetties, Capt. Fred Bridges
and David Kelly used fiddlers
for bait and caught 10
sheepshead weighing up to six
pounds. Earlier in the day
S they took the "Little
Bodacious" up some of their
favorite creeks and, using.arti-
Sficials, caught six trout to
four pounds.
Steven Bohn, and his sone
Eric, anchored their rig along
the rocks on Wednesday and
caught 20 sheepshead weigh-
ing up to 7.25 pounds. They
used live fiddlers for bait.
S Veteran guide Fred Morrow
stayed in the creeks last week
for excellent catches of trout
and redbass. On Tuesday, Jim
Padgett and Libby Morris
fished the creeks with Fred
and they netted eight' redbass,
four trout and a flounder.
On Wednesday morning,
Colonel Fred Irving and his


son, Fred, caught 34 speckled
trout to 18 inches, seven red-
bass to 31 inches and four
flounder weighing up to 4.5
pounds.
The flounder came on

river banks and especially at
Guana. Jonathan Moran and
SMatt Hamilton teamed up last
Sunday at Guana for a catch

one red and seven trout.

Gergley took advantage of the
northeaster.last Sunday and-
headed where the fishing is

mullet for bait, it didn't take
them long to catch some big
flounder. Mike caught four of
them to eight pounds and
Buck had five to hve pounds
in his cooler.
On the Jackson\ille Beach
Pier, young Cody Hendrix led
the fishing with a cooler full
of pompano, whiting and
blues. The wind was wicked
most of the week but the reg-
ulars came off with pompano,
blues and whiting. Pier man-
ager Faye Cotner reports there
were also several dozen over-
sized redbass that had to be
released.
Canal guide John Dyrssen,
with Dwight Hibbard and his
daughter, Candy, last
Wednesday brought eight
speckled trout and a pair of
redbass to the net. They also
released a dozen small man-
groves.
Capt. David King, from his
"Crusty Crab," fished Nassau
Sound last week until the
strong winds made it impossi-

Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis (27) breaks up a pass
intended for Titans receiver Brandon Jones Sunday.


Last week after a tri-
umphant road trip by the
Jacksonville Jaguars in
which they clamped down on
Donovan McNabb and the
Philadelphia Eagles, the ques-
tion was which one of Jack.
Del Rio's teams would show
up to greet the Tennessee
Titans. Not even Del Rio him-
self had the answer.
Then on bleak Sunday, a
day more fitting for the kind
of disaster the Titans used to
serve upon Jacksonville, the
years suddenly faded away
and the old stars of the Mark
Brunell-Jimmy Smith-Keenan
McCardell era showed up
playing under the names
David Garrard, Maurice Jones-
,Drew and Fred Taylor. The
Jaguars erupted for a a 37-7
.slamming of the once-feared
boys from Nashville.
Actually, Titans coach Jeff
Fisher was the villain who
used to- delight in picking at
Jacksonville.. But let by-gones
be by-gones. Coach Fisher is
probably a nice guy and, actu-.
ally, he wasn't poking more
fun at Jacksonville than any-
one else does, so let's just con-
sider the sources.

injury he will again be the
leader of Del Rio'steam and
never doubt it.
Few fans have ever had the
chance to talk to David
Garrard in a quiet moment
away from.the crowd and
game. They would be: pleased
to know he is a good-natured,
fine athlete and very savvy. All
these years on the sideline
haven't rusted his brain or
caused his muscles to atrophy.
Most of all, Garrard hasn't
kidded himself about his role
with the Jaguars. He knows
he's still No. 2 as long as
Byron Leftwich is available
and that is as long as Owner
Wayne Weaver and chief of
staff James Harris are there.
They call the shots in this sit-
uation, not Jack Del Rio.
Now what about the Jaguars
Defense against Tennessee?
The Titans were playing in
their "second home" as Fisher
used to call Alltel Stadium, but
on Sunday the Nashville boys
looked like they didn't know
what hit them. As usual,
Rashean Mathis had his week-
ly steals, picking off two of
rookie Vince Young's heaves.
And as usual, Rashean gave


credit to the linemen for the.
pressure they put on an inex-
perienced quarterback.
Question; How come the
Jaguars don't play like that
every week? Maybe Del Rio
should hypnotize his players
on the road and tell them,
"You're getting sleepy ...
you're playing at home. You're
in Alltel Stadium ..." It's
worth a try.:
Let;s see what happens next
week at home against a Texans
team that ran roughshod over
the Jaguars just a few weeks
ago.

Meyer gets Gators to SEC

to coach Urban Meyer and his

Also, kudos to Florida State
for its comeback. Old Bobby is
