airing


Dec. 5

FROM STAFF
A St. Johns County School
District committee is crunch-
ing population numbers that
will help decide who will
attend the Ponte Vedra high
school expected to open in
2008.
The first of two Town Hall
meetings on attendance zones
for that and three other
schools to be build will be held
7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday,
Dec. 5 at Nease High School.
"Right now we're at the
stage where we're getting our
projected [population] num-
bers," Tom Schwarm, senior
director of school operations
for the St. Johns School
District, said this week.
He said that at the Dec. 5
meeting "we should have a
couple of proposals that we
want to share with the public."
The second Town Hall meet-
ing is scheduled 7. p.m.
Monday, Dec. 11 at Bartram
Trail High School in Northwest
St. Johns County.
All four of. the schools
planned .or started .air ii the
county's north, where growth
has been fastest.
Ground was broken last
month on a high school in
Northwest St. Johns that is
expected to relieve crowding
at Bartram Trail. Bartram,
which opened in 2000 'was
built for 1,500 students and as
of this week had 2,617 stu-
dents.
Nease, also supposed to hold
1,500, had 2,076 students as of
this week.

Ponte Vedra teens, who. now
attend Nease, is planned just
east of Davis Park in the
Nocatee development.
Schwarm said the zoning
committee considers housing
ready for occupation, under
construction and planned in
the near and long-term future.
Nocatee, being built on both
sides of County Road 210
between the Palm Valley
bridge and U.S. 1, is expected


to have about 30,000 residents
by the time it is built out in 25
years.
Because the Town Hall zon-
ing meetings will address the
addition of two new high
schools, attendance zones for
Nease and Bartram may also be
affected, according to a news
release from the School
District.
"The projections play a key
role," said Schwarm, adding


that the impact of Nocatee will
affect attendance zones for
Nease and the Ponte Vedra
high school
Both new high schools in
North St. Johns are expected to
open in 2008. Construction on
the school at Davis Park is
expected to begin in late
January.
The School Board is expect-
ed to vote on the zones in
February.


by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
Travelers may soon see an
end to the zigzags and con-
struction delays on County
Road 210'west of the Palm
Valley bridge.
Greg Barbour, president of
The Parc Group, master
developers of the 12,000-acre
Nocatee west of the bridge,
said Monday that two lanes
of the new four-lane, limit-
ed-access Nocatee Parkway
should be open in 90 to 120
days.
traffic will be allowed on
those two north lanes while
the two remaining lanes are
being built, Barbour said.
The existing 210 will remain
for local traffic.
In recent weeks, 210 traffic
west of the bridge has been
reduced to one lane or
stopped altogether at various
times so 82-ton beams could
be placed for overpass
bridges on Nocatee Parkway.
Speaking, at the monthly
meeting of the Palm Valley
Community Association,
Barbour likened Nocatee
Parkway to Butler Boulevard.
But unlike'f '.i;i'.. tion
around Butler, he sa'ld, local
traffic won't have to get back
on Nocatee Parkway to access
. rearby .sb; .,r,. I g;etomenon
that often eeps i"utler
crowded.
"Traffic moving through
the common if[.QfJf atee]
and in the c r ifAini, will
not impact east-west traffic,"
he said.
One audience inember said
that some persons who live
along 210 and eventually
may be surrounded by
Nocatee are concerned that
County Road 210 will be
renamed.
Barbour explained that
although Nocatee Parkway
will connect to County Road


210 at the four-lane Palm
Valley Bridge, it will contin-
ue to be called County Road
210 for about one mile west
of the bridge.
There, Barbour said, a traf-
fic light will be placed at a
road leading south to the
high school that planned by
the St. Johns County School
District. The school is
expected to open in 2008.
St. Johns County wanted
210 to retain its name up to
that traffic light, Barbour
said. Nocatee developers
have no say-so in what new
name, if any, is given to 210
west of there, he said.
Between the light and U.S.
1, where Nocatee Parkway
will end at the existing 210,
traffic will be able to enter
and exit the parkway at two
interchanges only, Barbour
said.
Nocatee donated the site
for the Ponte Vedra high
school, which Barbour said
will be nearly half a mile
south of 210.
Just north of the high
school site is property being
donated to New Beginnings
Baptist Church, Barbour said.
The road to the high
school: will lead into the
county-owned preserve
along the Intracoastal
Waterway, he said.
Under the plans approved
for Nocatee, St. Johns
County will be given six
more school sites: five for
elementary schools and one
for a middle school, Barbour
said.
One site will be donated to
Duval County for an elemen-
tary school. About 15 per-
cent of Nocatee lies in Duval
County.
St. Johns County also will
be given sites for one library,
two fire stations, one sher-
iff's substation and one
county annex, Barbour said.

MSD sticks

with sheriff


by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The Board of Trustees for the Ponte
Vedra Municipal Service District
(MISD) decided Monday night to
renew the MSD's contract with the St.
Johns County Sheriff's Office instead
of hiring a private security'company.
The trustees unanimously agreed
that sheriff's officers can provide pro-
tection that private guards cannot
because the officers carry weapons,
have the ability to respond more
quickly and have the power to arrest.
"We determined that the private
security companies possibly cannot
achieve all that the community
'desires," MSD trustee Doug Crane said
in an interview Tuesday.
NMSD Chairman Bob Reesh pro-
posed a switch to a private company
in July after many residents com-
plained that they never see the St.
Johns County deputies assigned to
the MSD.
Reesh suggested that the board
research the pros and cons of hiring a
private company partly because
Sheriff David Shoar refused to install
GPS navigation systems in the cars of
MSD deputies. *
The GPS systems would have
enabled trustees to know exactly
where the deputies were patrolling
and when.

Children learn to be safe sitters


by IENNIFER KNOECHEL
STAFF WRITER
"Are you OK little Tommy?"
demonstrates Safe Sitter
instructor Yvonne Yuhnh as
she performs a rescue breath-
ing technique on an infant
dummy Friday at Baptist
Medical Center- Beaches.
"It's always good to talk to a
baby or child. Your voice will
help soothe them."
The class of 24 children ages
10-14 are learning how to han-


die emergencies and all kinds
of different situations that may
arise while babysitting. The
one-day class offered at Baptist
Beaches is part of the Safe Sitter
national program [www.safesit-
ter.org].
Safe Sitter was founded in
1980 by Indianapolis pediatri-
cian Dr. Patricia A. Keener after
her colleague's 18-month-old
choked to death while under-
the care of an adult sitter.
"We teach child care essen-
tials like diaper care and feed-


ing but the most important
things they'll learn is rescue
breathing and choking tech-
niques," said Yuhnh (pro-
nounced "win").
Safe Sitter students are
taught how to help someone
who is choking by using the
back blow and chest thrust
technique for infants and the
Heimlich maneuver fo/ chil-
dren ages 1 and over.

Babysitter: 'It'sjust as importantfor the babysitter to feel safe, comfortable'


pholo Dv ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES


Children practice listening for breathing at a Safe Sitter class recently.


Continued from A-i
Students also learn basic first
aid techniques, rescue breath-
ing, and what to do in lots of
-different .scenarios such as if
you find a gun in a house.
"Treat.it like it's loaded,'
answers one student; .
"Take the children away
from the gun and call an
adult."' '
The program not only teach-
es what to do in an emergency
situation, but offers lots of tips
S on- how, 'to 'avoid them.
Avoiding foods children are


most likely to choke on such as
hotdogs, carrots, grapes and,
popcorn are some of the guide-
lines discussed in the class.
And eliminating' unsafe tasks
such as cooking, giving a child
a bath or watching them in 'a
pool are also precautions rec-.
.ommended by Safe Sitter.
The program is also designed
to keep the babysitters safe.
Safe Sitter recommends sitters
find jobs through people they
know and not to publish their
names in newsletters, etc. [The'
participants in Friday's class


signed waivers t'o have' their
photographs published but
under Safe Sitter policy, cannot
have their names published].
"It's just as important' for the
babysitter to feel safe and com-
fortable," said :Jill Witemyre,
the outreach coordinator for'
Baptist Beaches and a certified
Safe Sitter instructor who co-
taught Friday's class.
"A lot of the children in the
class have younger brothers
and sisters or maybe they feel
ready to babysit neighbors. It's
that transitional time where


they see if thev' can handle it
and take on other babysitting
jobs. But it is a job so they
learn to treat it like one."
Yuhnh and Witemyre were
both babysitters and both have
bachelor's degrees in health
education from the University
of North Florida. Yuhnh is cur-
rently in nursing school at
FCCJ and doing an internship
at Baptist Beaches.
"A lot of it is going over dif-
ferent scenarios so if some-
thing happens they don't
panic; they will know how to
handle themselves," Witemyre
said. "This class almost scares
them a little to let them know
they need to take it seriously.
It's a big responsibility."
Baptist 'Beaches offers the
Safe Sitter class several times a
vear. The cost is $30. For more
information call the communi-
ty relations office at 904-627-
1960 or 904-627-2910.: The

offers tips for sitters, tips for
parent of sitters and tips on
hiring a babysitter. One sugges-
tion for hiring a babysitter is to
have first aid supplies and a
first aid chart available for easy
reference (A first aid chart may
be obtained from the American
Academy of Pediatrics by call-
ing 1-800-433-9016).
:Q -. What information
should my babysitter know
before I leave? .
A It takes time to ori-
ent a new babysitter to your
home, children, and your chil-
dren's routines. Allow 30-45
minutes for orientation before
you go out or at some conven-


lent time prior to the babysit- number and address with clear


ting job.
*Review how to care for your
children, such as feeding, nap
time, and bedtime routines
(with times).
*Discuss how you want your
baby picked up, held, fed, and
diapered.
*Write out instructions for
warming foods and bottles.
*Discuss your baby's pacifier,
blanket, or comfort toy.
*Be clear about parenting
policies: Should sitter pick up
baby anytime the baby cries?
What if baby won't fall asleep?
How to handle problem behav-
ior for older
children?
*Show the babysitter where
you keep the diapers, clothing,
bottles, formula, food, and
snacks.
*Discuss any special condi-
tions or medication that the
sitter needs to know.' Be sure
to'write down instructions for
medications- how much, how
often, and how to give. If the
medication is pre-measured,
make sure it is out of the reach
of your children..
*Discuss the rules on the use
of 'the telephone,television,
computer, snacks, and visitors.
*Be clear that smoking or
alcohol is never allowed.-
*Leave list of emergency
numbers iextito your phone.
Include the telephone number
for emergency servicesifire,
ambulance, police), a phone
number for an immediately
available adult, and the Poison
Center l1-800-222-1222).
Include your home telephone


directions on how to locate
your house.
*Take the babysitter on a
tour of your house to locate all
entrances and exits, fire/bur-
glar alarms, first aid supplies,
fuse box, flashlights, and off-
limits areas.
*Discuss what to do in case
of fire escape route, where to
go call for help, and any escape
routines you may have prac-
ticed with your children.
*Be sure your sitter knows
what to do if there is an emer-
gency. Always have first aid
supplies and a first aid chart
available for easy reference.
(A first aid chart may be
obtained from the American
Academy of Pediatrics by call-
ing 1-800-433-9016.)
S*Be sure to tell your sitter
where you can be reached and
when you will return home.' If
a pager is being used, leave
instructions for how the pager
works.
*Once you have oriented a
new sitter, subsequent pre-
ideparture briefings will take
less time. You should allow
15-20 minutes each visit. Not
only does that 'allow you to
give last minute specific
instructions, but it also gives
your child a chance to adjust
to your departure and warm up
to the babysitter.


MSD* Change not worth the risk


Cont. from A-I
At the same July meeting,
Joel Bolante, chief of staff for-
the Sheriff's Office, told
trustees that automated vehicle
locators, which are different
from.GPS systems, are already
in the works 'foi all Sheriff's
Office vehicles..-Bolante said


that was the reason Shoar
refused the MSD's request.
Reesh said he received an
estimate from First Coast-
Security Services, a private
security company, of about
$167,000 to patrol the MSD.
The contract with the Sheriff's
Office for next 'ear will cost


about $230,000. '.' ::: :

the amount that would be

JB woman's club for sale
JB an' t :. u : r


FROMASTAFF
With membership declining
and maintenance coS.tSnthe.q
clubhouse soaring, thd
Jacksonville Beaches Woman's
Club has decided to sell its
home at 1315 2nd Ave. N. in
Jacksonville Beach.
The 1.5-acte property,
which also includes a 5,152-
square-foot clubhouse, has
been used for many years as
the base of activities for the
clib, which once had more
than, 200 members, but now
has 83 members, according to
club records. Jacksonville
Beaches Woman's Club has
members from each of the
Beaches communities and.
dates back to 1924.
SIn: 1958, '.undeveloped
acreage just east of Penman
Road was deeded to the club
and plans were drawn up for a
clubhouse. A mortgage was
secured and the present con-
crete block building was con-
structed on the site in the
early 1960s.
There was much discussion
and consideration of alterna-
tives before deciding to put
the property on the market,
Eve Steer, a spokesman for the
club, said .this : week 'in
announcing the planned sale.
"One' of the prime factors
which promoted this difficult
decision to sell [the] beloved
property was to concentrate
more fully on the purpose of


the club: t- dedicate itself to
philan ,hropj,? educational;-
cii&"and cultural efforts for
the benefit of 'tH id';ifithj -
ty," Steer said. "To quote one
of the members, 'Ve are doing
this so the club can move for-
ward."'
The facility now requires:
considerable effort and
expense to maintain, club
members agreed while voting
Nov. 7 to put the property up
for sale. No buyer has been
identified at this time.
Steer said the club expects
to receive $1 million to $2
million for the property.
According to city records, the
land is currently zoned RM-1,
residential multi-family,
which allows'development of .
20 units per acre. :
She said the club will coni-.
tinue to meet regularly and'
willgather in another venue,
such as a restaurant.
"A change in culture that.
includes a membership that is
aging, a membership that is
declining in numbers and
with the conviction of the
active members that the pri-.
mary focus has always been to ,
be contribute to philanthropic
efforts throughout the com-
munity, [the club's] work is
being compromised with the
continued burden of owner-
ship," Steer said. .
Since the building was con-
structed, various improve-,


ments have beenri made and
the facility currently features a
stage.'d bOardroOm, porches, a
Mrf'it e\ctie hd tihree"Uth-
rooms. It has frequently been
leased out to private parties
over the years for weddings,
parties and other civic func-
tions.'.
In. 1924 the group was
known as Pablo Beach Civic
Center and its efforts centered
on civic, educational, cultural
and philanthropic efforts.
Early projects included pro-
moting a road running north
and south to connect Pablo
Beach 'with Atlantic
Boulevard. Other early inter-
ests included obtaining a
Justice of the Peace for Pablo
Beach, public water fountains,
mosquito control, and aid for
travelers. Members also built
and maintained public com-
fort stations on city property
for visitors who came to enjoy
the beach. Over the years the
club became federated and
membership grew to around
200 members.
In: 1964; the 'late
Congressman Charles Bennett
'dedicated the new building."
Twenty years later, in '1983,
the mortgage was paid and
there was a celebration
marked by burning of the
mortgage with dignitaries
from the bank and the past
.presidents of the club atteid-
ing.

SThe Leader's Opinion

Future teams hurt

most bypenalties

Nease High School of Porite Vedra Beach has been fined
$20,000, its football program placed on six years of restrictive
probation, and the school's entire athletic program placed on.
five years of administrative probation for 'major violations" by
its football program.
SOfficials for the Florida High School Athletic Association,
which levied the penalties earlier this month, said the fine is
the largest ever levied. Some cynics note that the fine may not
hurt Nease as much as it rmght another school, given the huge
success of the booster program due to the affluence of many
attending the school. .
To date, no appeal has been filed, challenging the FHSAA's
actions. Indeed, school officials note that they were the ones
to notify the state office of the potential violations, .
Since then, two assistant coaches have been let go.-- despite'
initial comments from administrators that no personnel
changes would be made. The head coach of the undefeated
'team is still at his post, though.
It is also worth noting that the school .as been on adminis-
tration probation for previous violations in its baseball pro-
gram. The repeat offenses in the school's athletic department
would seem to indicate a systemic problem that can and
must be'routed ouit by administrators promptly.
An FHSAA commissioner made it clear the association has
"serious questions about the level of control, if any, the
school's administration has over its athletic program."
Many questions need to be answered openly and immedi-:
ately. For example, do school administrators have adequate
control over funds that benefit sports teams? Are all coaches
well briefed and tested on compliance with regulations
that govern school athletic programs? Do those responsible for
student athletes understand there is zero tolerance for non-
compliance?
Further violations of FHSAA rules put the school at risk for
additional penalties, which could include expulsion.
School athletic programs offer students many benefits. In
addition to fostering team building and spirited competition,
the athletic programs should provide all participants lifelong
lessons in fair play and good sportsmanship.
Sure, winning is nice but those lessons in sportsmanship are
far more important that the score at the end of the game or the
season record.
Nease High School broke the rules and penalties have been
levied. That is as it should be. \Ve would suggest that some of
the penalties, however, go beyond punishing those responsible
for the current violations.
This year's football team is still eligible to participate in the
2006 FHSAA Class 4A Football Championship. It seems some-
what inequitable that the penalties levied against the school
actually do not impact the 2006 winning team as much as
they do future teams.
As it currently stands, today's seventh-grade students who
are Nease-bound will wind up being penalized more than the
head coach of this year's team, who was the one who allowed
the rules to be flouted either inadvertentl J6Y'it.ntjntiol-'
.lyI._lh e.b ead.coach has. not heen p-n lizied ,iLalJliccording to
school officials.
Punishing students who are still a half dozen years away
from graduating and have not yet donned a Panther jersey
seems unfair. Yet, under the penalties levied against the school
those students will be banned from televised performances,
playing in fall /spring lamborees and playing out of state
teams.
FHSAA bylaws state that "students, who are ineligible to par-
ticipate in competition, may seek a reinstatement of eligibility
if they can prove that the rule which makes them ineligible
Spaces an undue hardship on them because of situations or cir-
cumstances beyond their control."
The Nease team of 2012 might want to ready its appeal now.

According to the FHS.L4, the three specific violations were:
1.- The student-athlete's father was offered and accepted employment
with a company oi'-ned he A.4ssistant Coach "A.". This empiotl neit
arrangement i as made prior to the student registering to attend the
school. FHSAA Board police prohibits the offer or acceptance of emplo.y-
Ilent of parents i or guardian s.i in order to entice the family to more to
a certain conmluni if anyi person associated witl the school makes the
offer. ... the FHS.-LA Office found that the violation of the FHS.-L4 Board
Police 38i C (2(iri as unintentional bascd on lack of knowtleide of the
policY ... :
2. The shutentt-athlete and his fi-ther riwr offered and accepted resi-
dence with Assistant Coach "B". This lit ing arrangement was made
prior to the student registerinS to attend the school. FHS.-L Board policy
prohibits the offer or acceptance. of a residence with anmt person associat-
ed with a school.
3. The student-athlete has been transported to and from school byi
.Assistant Coach "B" on numerous occasions. FHS.A4 Board policy pro-
Inbits the offet or acceptance of free transportation l'r n,. person asso-'
'ieated iwith a school.

'Iihave to admit I enjoyed quite of a chuckle
when I read the recent opinions by Ann Von.
Thron and Christina Smith regarding their
viewpoints on quail hunting.
I personally enjoy hunting, fishing and the
conservation oft what is left of our precious

everything I hear and I can tell you that quail
are not as tame as you may think. The great
part of:being a citizen in the United States is
the ability to voice your own personal opinion
and the opinion page of The Leader is a testi-,
mony of that right! '
,I understand the main point of Ann's opin-.
ion and agree with the taking of game, which
will end up in a freezer for years, only to be
.thrown out. I believe serious hunters are, for
the majority, conscious of their limits and if
not should leave their harvested game with
someone who will not let it go to waste. I have
said "Not Bad" to numerous cookouts.

Homelessness at the Beaches

involves many families facing

some very difficult times


To the editor:
This letter is in response to
a recent letter regarding
homelessness at the beach.
There were several distortions
in that letter that represent
many people's misconcep-
tions about the homeless situ-
ation in America. First and
foremost, according to the US
Mayors Conference Report on
Hunger & Homelessness
dated December 2005( a sur-
'vey of 24 cities across the
country the #1 cause of
homelessness in America is
"the loss of affordable hous-
ing". The fastest growing seg-
ment of the homeless popula-
tion is "families with chil-
dren". The beaches communi-
ty represents a microcosm of
this trend. In the past year we
Pi'. 'lt*it ogt' 800 lo-'wt-'
income homes due toacondo
conversions mainly along the
Mayport Road corridor. As a
result, the agencies at the
beach have been over-
whelmed this year with many
desperate families looking for
housing, some of these fami-
lies have become homeless.
The "transitional housing"
that was mentioned ,by the
previous letter writer has been
operating for several years, it
is called Helping Hands
Village. It is run by a faith-
based organization that has
been helping needy beach res-
idents for over a decade. It
certainly cannot be equated
to a "state run hospital".
These are single family homes
where homeless families with
children can reside at a
reduced rate for a period of
time 6-18 months. While liv-
ing in these homes the family
is given access to services that

Police say man

shot after failed

pot buy

FROM STAFF
A robbery Monday after-
noon left a 31-year-old
Georgia man with a bullet
wound in his leg after police
said he tried to buy pot from
the suspect.
Jacksonville Beach police are
investigating the shooting
which occurred around 4:30
p.m. in the 300 block of 6th
Street South.
According to a police report,
the victim and his friend were
attempting to purchase mari-
juana from the suspect who
robbed them at gunpoint.
SWhen the victim tried to get
his friend's money back, the
suspect shot him in the,right
leg with a small semiautomatic
handgun.
The victim told police that
his friend approached two
young white males in the park-
ing lot of the -pier and asked
them if they knew where to
find some pot.
SSgt. Tom Bingham said the
investigation is still evolving
because of conflicting
accounts of what transpired.
The victim's friend told
police that the suspect robbed
them as they were stopped at a
stop sign. He said the teens
knew the shooter and had his
phone number but denied try-
ing to buy marijuana.
Both boys offered a similar
account of the incident but
were unable to provide specific
information. Each also denied
any involvement with a drug
deal.
The suspect is described as a
young black male approxi-
mately 5"10 with a thin build
and' short dreadlocks. He was
wearing a,dark hooded jacket
with blue work pants and has
gold teeth.
Detectives are developing
leads to identify the suspect,
Bingham said.

AB gives


waiver for

hotel sign

by ALEXANDRA KULMMERNES
STAFF WRITER
After nearly an hour of
debate, the city of Atlantic
Beach granted the owner of the
Comfort Inn on May-port Road a
temporary waiver to install a
new sign face on his existing
20+-foot pole.
The approval is contingent on
the owner complying with cur-
rent sign codes before July 2007.
The cunent codes would limit
that sign to 10-feet tall. ; '
The sign at the Comfort Inn,
located at 2401 Mayport Road,
suffered hurricane damage two
years ago. Current regulations
require that non-conforming
signs be brought into compli-
ance when any change made to
the display area or face area is
more than 25 percent, accord-
ing to Community
Development Director Sonya
'Doerr.
John Shea, the owner of the
hotel, applied for a permit'last
summer to replace the sign face
and was informed of the regula-
tions. Because of a pending cor-
porate logo change, he delayed
further action, according to
Doerr.
Choice Hotels, the corporate
management for Comfort Inn,
requires that the sign be
repaired and that the face be
replaced with the new corporate
logo by the end of this year or
Shea risks being disenfran-
chised.
However, in four years, Shea
is moving to a different fran-
chise, he said,: so the current
sign will have to be changed
again.
Commissioners granted the
temporary waiver so that Shea
could meet his'corporate dead'
line. But, they required that
Shea meet with the city before
Juily 2007 and present a detailed
plan and timetable to bring his'
sign into compliance with cur-
rent city codes.
This option gives Shea the
necessary time to research his
options and the requirements
for the future franchise sign,
according to the city.

B^ Beaches hospital uses alternative


Sealing techniques in Comfort Care


photo by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
The Comfort Care Program at Baptist Medical Center Beaches
has several alternative healing programs, including one of its
newest endeavors, comfort pillow cases. Comfort Care Team
Member Karen Long, below, displays some of the vividly col-
ored, handmade pillowcases that staff have created for special
patients.


by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
STAFF WRITER
The Baptist Medical Center.
Beaches has made some addi-
tions to its alternative healing
program, according to Kam
Durham, coordinator for the
Comfort Care program.
The Comfort Care Team was
established in 2003 to provide
,alternative healing to hospital
patients and includes pro-
grams such as pet therapy,
massage, aromatherapy,
music and, most recently, art
and comfort pillowcases,
which, provides special
patients with handmade pil-
lowcases, according to pro-
gram organizers.
The program is possible due
to volunteers from the com-
munity who give their time to
help patients in their recov-
ery, Durham said. Most
recently, Dr. Gerson Yessin, a
concert pianist and member
of the Boston Philharmonic,
joined the music therapy
team.
Yessin volunteers once a
week for an hour and a half to
two hours, providing individ-
ual room service to different
patients with his mobile key-
board, playing two or three
classical songs for each.
He also has future plans to
teach patients how to play the
keyboard, Durham said,
laughing at the thought that a
patient could come in for sur-
gery and leave knowing how
to play an instrument.
The program has had signif-
icant effects on patients'


health such as lowering blood
pressure and heart 'rate,
Durham said.
For example, one surgical
patient had high blood pres-
sure after surgery. Someone,
from the music therapy team
played'music for the patient
while a dog was placed in his.
lap. After that, his blood pres-
sure was completely'normal,
Durham said.
Of course, staff enjoys the
music, too. Sometimes the
doctors will. even stand out-
side a patient's room to listen,
Durham said. :
"The atmosphere in the
hospital has changed,"' said
Durham.
One of the newest pro-
grams, providing pillowcases
,for select patients, also allows
staff members to get involved
in the healing process in a dif-
ferent way than they normal-
ly would.
Beginning in December, if a
staff member would like to
honor a patient in a special
way, they can request a pil-
lowcase for them.
The pillowcases are hand
made by hospital staff 'mem-
ber. Sit-n-sews are planned
and employees spend time
crafting the decorated cases.
So far, they have made 100

to $20 million

bond issue

for Fleet

Landing


FROM STAFF
Atlantic Beach City
Commissioners Monday
approved a request by Fleet
Landing to obtain bonds in an
amount not to exceed $20 mil-
lion to expand and remodel
some of the facilities at the con-
tinuing care retirement facility.
John NMeserve, executive
director of Fleet Landing and
former Atlantic Beach mayor,
requested the city be the "con-
duit" for the health care facili-
ties revenue bonds. They will be
used for health care facilities,
which is are authorized public
purpose for issuance of tax
exempt bonds, the city said.
This is the third, bond
issuance that Fleet Landing has
had through local go ernment,
according to Chauncey Lever,'
an attorney-who represents
Fleet Landing.
Lever explained that the
issuance is merely a"pass
through" and does not affect
the city in terms of its finances
or liability.
Although city attorney Alan
Jensen was not at the meeting,
he had previously reviewed the
request and reported to City
Manager Jim Hanson that there
is no liability and there would
not be any expenses to the city.
Mayor Don Wolfson said at
Monday's meeting that the city
has no obligations and there
are no risks involved and that
in approving this, the city is
just used as a conduit. Lever
echoed the mayor's comments..
City finance director Nelson
Van Liere also conferred with
the city's bond counsel and
reported that the city is in no
way impaired by this transac-
tion in terms of financing, lia-
bility or the city's ability to
obtain bonds in the future.
"This is a great win-win situa-.
tion .for the city and for Fleet
Landing," said Commissioner
Jamie Fletcher.
According to a proposal pre-
sented to the city, Naval
Continuing Care Retirements
Foundation, Inc., the. not-for-
profit corporation that operates
Fleet Landing, will use the
funds to make capital improve-
ments.
The new projects will include
35 independent living units
(consisting of fie homes and 15
duplexes, a community center
with an auditorium, fitness
center, lap pool, technology
center, dining facilities and ren-
ovations to the existing ameni-
ty center.

Social Security warns recipients of new email scam


A warning has been issued
this month about a new email
scarm that has surfaced recently
involving Social Security recipi-
ents.
Jo Anne Barnhart,
Commissioner of Social
Security, and Patrick O'Carroll,
Jr., Inspector General of Social
Security, issued the warning.
They. said the Agency .has
received several reports of an
e-mail message being circulated
with the subject "Cost-of-Living'
for 2007 update" and purport-
ing to be from the Social


Security Administration.
The message provides infor-
mation about the 3.3 percent
benefit increase for 2007 and
contains the following "NOTE:
We now need you to update
your personal information. If
this is not completed we will be,
forced to suspend your account
indefinitely." The reader is thefi
directed to a website designed to
look like Social Security's
Intemet website.
Once directed to the phony
website, the individual is asked
to register for a password and to


confirm identity by providing
personal information such as
the individual's Social Security'
number, bank account informa-
tion and credit card informa-
tion.
O'Carroll recommended peo-
ple take precautions when giv-
ing out personal information.

For a present each backhe past
F ~or:pr'es back


by LAURA FOWLER
S STAFF I\'RITER
What holiday gift can you
Give to someone who has
S everything?
How about a revealing, icon-
ic image of life in Ponte Vedra,
SPalm Valley or the beaches to
the north in the early part of
the 20th century?
The Palm Valley


Community Association is cir-
culating a catalog of 44 histor-
ical photographs from area
beaches that residents can
order as holiday gifts for those
on their shopping lst.
The dates of the photo-
graphs range from 1898 to the
1950s, with images of every-
thing from sunbathing beau-
ties to the very first digging of


w'e- m


- w~ -
-c -~


"the ditch" in Palm Valley.
The photos were featured in
several historical slideshows
hosted by the association in
2004 and 2005.
"These really are very rare
and priceless gifts for the per-
son who has everything," Greg
Leonard, president of the asso-
ciation, said in an interview
Tuesday.
For anywhere from $50 to
$120, the photographs are
professionally enlarged and
mounted on foam core boards
so that they are ready for dis-
play.
The photographs were
donated mainly by area fami-
lies and the Beaches Area
Historical Society, Leonard
said.
Photos of Pablo Beach now
known as Jacksonville Beach -
and the famous boardwalk
and pier are included with
those from Ponte Vedra and
the Valley.
The idea for the catalog
stemmed from the popularity


of the historical slideshows
and. a need to recoup about
$8,000 in renovations com-
pleted at the association's
community center on Canal
Boulevard in Palm Valley.
Leonard introduced the cat-
alog Monday night at a meet-
ing of the community associa-
tion.
"We had immediate inter-
est," he said Tuesday, noting
that several orders for photo-
graphs have already been
placed.
Leonard said he thinks some
people will buy the photos for
their own use, or perhaps
some businesses will buy them
"to add a little bit of that local
flavor."
To ensure delivery before
the holidays, orders must be
made before Dec. 2, Leonard
said.
However, the sale of photo-
graphs will most likely contin-
ue through the holidays, he
said. To obtain a catalog, call
285-5175.


The nine-page catalog unveiled Monday by the Palm
Valley Community Association (far left) features enlarged
photos being sold as a fund-raiser for the association.
Among the historical photographs offered for sale is
(below) "Life Savers," an image of lifeguards stretching at
Pablo Beach in 1925. A 36-inch by 15-inch print mounted
on foam board costs $120. The photo above depicts the
Palm Valley bridge in 1948. For $75, a buyer gets a 20-
inch by 16-inchcopy on foam board. For information, call
285- 5175.

Cancer doesn't cramp Jacksonville Beach nurse's lifestyle


by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
ST4FF It'RITER
Everyone at the party gath-
ered outside and stared as a
small twister ripped through
the street in Jacksonville
Beach. Rick and Pat Hoffman
were having a hurricane party- -
which is nothing unusual for
them. They have a gift for
turning any occasion, no mat-
ter how drastic, into some-
. thing fun.
"There's no party like a
Hoffman party," said Leah
Davis, a longtime family friend
who recalled that particular
hurricane party as well as the
Hoffman's infamous St.
Patrick's Day bashes.
The couple believes in old-
fashioned, all-out entertaining
and having fun in life, an atti-
tude they have relied on to
carry them through severe
hardships.
Pat, a Jacksonxille Beach res-
ident, was diagnosed with


pliolo by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
Pat Hoffman of Jacksonville Beach has been diagnosed with
breast, bone and brain cancer over the years, but doesn't let
that stop her from having a full life. A registered nurse, Hoffman
was also a midwife for 10 years.


.breast cancer eight years ago
and has had several relapses
since then in her brain, bones
and lungs. Three weeks ago she
*suffered subdural bleeding,
which produced similar symp-
toms to a stroke.
"We go through a near death
experience every other year,"
said Rick Hoffman, Pat's hus-
band of 30 years.
Pat has been in and out of
doctor's offices frequently over
the years, but she doesn't look
at it with negativity or anger,
but rather the contrary.
She's developed such strong
relationships with her doctors,
nurses and other patients that
she refers to the other women
who have, also suffered from
breast cancer and have
received chemotherapy in
group sessions as "the girls."
"We all sit in the chemo
room and he [the doctor] has
these chairs with these big old
backs and we talk and we gab,"
she said.


According to her husband,
she was with her oncologist so
often that he teased her about
having another man in her
life.
Pat was diagnosed with
breast cancer on a Friday and
had a mastectomy the follow-
ing Tuesday, "just to get it over
with," she said.
According to her daughter,
Chrissy, keeping a normal life
is what's most important to
her.
"She kind of downplays
everything," Chrissy said.
During one of her relapses,
Pat felt a pain in her side, but
didn't want to cancel a ski trip
that was planned. Instead of
going to the doctor before the
trip, she waited until she
returned.
"I took Motrin and I skied,"
she said matter-of-factly.
After her doctor's visit, she
learned that she had bone can-
cer. Not long after that, she
was also diagnosed with brain


cancer and had gamma knife
radiation, which required
screws to be put in either side
of her head.
Instead of being sad about
hospital visits, you'll usually
find Pat telling jokes, Davis
said.
Pat hasn't let her cancer
affect her work life either. She
is a certified nurse practitioner
and was also a midwife for 10
years.
"I love my work," she said,
explaining that she would
have radiation in the morning
and then go to work.
The only problem she had
was that the radiation made
her tired, so she took naps in
the doctor's sleep rooms on
her lunch breaks.
Although she loved being a
midwife, Pat needed a break
from the nights and weekends.
She went back to school, while

The foundation has
approximately 200 remain-
ing copies of "Beaches

agencies serving the Beaches,
and members of the Beaches
Resource Center oversight
committee.
There are recipes that have
been passed down in local
families for several genera-
tions, gourmet specialties,
children's "favorites," and
recipes for easy meals.
The cookbook features sev-
eial holiday dishes.
Braddock's contributed a
recipe for Cornbread
Dressing that has been
passed' down in her family
for four generations.

dient in this dressing that is

holiday parties and not
enough room. If your 'house
feels the pinch space-wise dur-
ing the holidays, now's the time
to start planning that dream.

iday gatherings next year, says
Jay Lavale Paulin, president of
Southeastern Structural
Consultants, Inc. in Atlantic
Beach.
"It's never too early to start
planning for these projects,"Jay
said. "Many Beaches residents
think spring when they think
new-construction or renovation
projects for their homes or com-
mercials properties, but now is
actually the time to meet with
an expert to help you fine-tune'
your plans long before spring

If you're thinking of updating or building a new home or commercial building and have no
idea where to begin, J. Lavale Paulin, president of Southeastern Structural Consultants, Inc.
in Atlantic Beach, is ready to help and share his expertise.


Consultants, Inc. listen to your ideas, answer your questions
and assist you-- from idea.to completion.
Even more important is completing your project on time
and within budget and that's Jay's motto. "My favorite
part.of every project is first completion, and second- see-
ing the smiles on our clients' faces," he said. "We strive to
provide our clients personal attention and detail for their
project," he added. "Because we're a small firm, we attend to
every stage of your project and help you anticipate long-term
growth expectations and current facility planning."
Translation: The experts at Southeastern Structural
Consultants understand all aspects of your project, including
the big and small picture.
That's how Jay runs the firm, which he opened under the
name Southeastern Structural Engineers, Inc. in the Regency
area in 1999 and moved to Atlantic Beach last May. He just-
recently changed the firm's name to Southeastern Structural
S Consultants, Inc. to reflect the comprehensive, one-stop,
start-to-finish services he provides.
"We provide clients consultation for all construction proj-
ects for public, private or commercial organizations from
project inception through completion," he said. "WVe provide
quality professional service with a personal touch," he said.
Residential services include everything from custom home
plans and site and construction approval to custom home
additions, site clearing and preparation, landscape design
and drafting. Commercial services include site development
a'nd design, construction management, structiiral buildifig
design and structural, engineering by Lou Pontigo and
Associates, Inc.
With a background in business, Jay is proud of the one-
stop services Southeastern Structural Consultants offers its
clients. A Jacksonville native, he attended Douglas Anderson
High School and received his undergraduate degree in mar-
keting from Florida A&M University and his master's degree
in public services and administration from Ball State
University in Indiana. After working for IBM for several
years, he returned to Jacksonville permanently.
The Southeastern Structural Consultants concept works
because it not only involves the client but puts the client in

control," explained Jay. "We provide a team of consultants
who work directly with the client and then we provide top-
notch project management and work for and on behalf of
the client every step of the way."
That means the professionals at Southeastern Structural
Consultants take care of the details. "We make sure the work
is done correctly and in compliance with all city and build-
ing codes, we make sure the workers show up ,and,we make
sure the bills are properly invoiced," Jay said. "In short, we're
problem solvers, we protect our clients, we put ourselves in
their place and we save them time and money in the long
run.
Southeastern Structural Consultants also educates clients.
"We're here to help you with every aspect of a new-build or
remodeling job," Jay said. "For example, we'll even help you
find financing for your project and can arrange for you to
meet with a financial expert right here in our office after
hours, if that's what works best for your schedule."
Educating clients also means pointing out potential pitfalls
in complex projects. "If, part way through a project a client
decides to change a wall or the size of a room, we don't just
say 'okay,'" Jay said. "Instead, we explain the ramifications of
even a small change and how minor alterations can drive up
the price. We educate clients on the added costs, prolonged
schedule and additional city approvals required with one
goal in mind to help you make a good business decision."
The firm's most effective advertising is referral and word-
of-'out said lay, and no- residential job is too large or too
small for Southeastern Structural Consultants.
Give the professionals at Southeastern Structural
Consultants a call now to set up an appointment to discuss
vour new-construction or renovation project. Let them take
the frustration out of your dream project. And think of the
extra holiday entertaining space you'll have next year!

Beaches residents recall service in World War II


by JOHNNY WOODHOUSE,
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Five World War II veterans
reminisced recently, about
their military service some 60.
years ago.
Octogenarians all, these five
Beaches residents served in the
military 'between 1942 and
1946, but only one saw actual
combat.
The 'other four may have
never fired a bullet in battle,
but their collective contribu-
tions kept -.the,-. .mighty
American war machine hum-
ming.
"They say the WAVES and
WACs won the war, but he
really saw it," said Margaret
O'Grady, smiling at her hus-
band, Fred; a former combat
veteran in the Pacific.
"I carried a piece of shrapnel,
in me for 27 years, but it never
bothered me" added Fred, a.
rifleman in the 3rd Marine
Division who landed on the
Japanese-held island' of
Bouganville in 1943.
"I was wounded on
Thanksgiving Day and then
got dengue fever. I was 89
pounds, down from 160."
Fred and Margaret O'Grady
met six years ago at Pablo
Towers and were instantly
attracted to each other.
During the war, Margaret
served in Navy intelligence in
.the nation's capital, while Fred
was slogging through the jun-
gles of the Solomon Islands,
carrying a 40-pound machine
gun.
Both were in their early 20s
at the time and in tiptop phys-
ical condition.
"We marched 20 miles a day
in boot camp," Margaret, a for-
mer Na\v WAVE, recalled.
"I was never in better shape
in all my life."
Jeanne Averill was a recent
nursing school graduate in
Buffalo, N.Y., when the Navy
came calling in 1943.
Like three of the four
women seated at the table, she
met and married her only hus-
band during the war.
"He was a Navy dentist and I
was teaching surgical tech-
niques to Navy corpsman,"
Averill, a former Navy 'ensign,
recalled.
"Nineteen out of 44 nursing
graduates went into the service
on a two-year program. I got
pregnant in March 1945 and
S was out of the service by July
'45. One of my sons is a lieu-

Cont. from A-8
raising two children, to
become a nurse practitioner
while her husband, now a
retired Navy captain, was hv-
ing in Charleston due to his
job.
Her determination, spirit
-i and lack of self-pity have
helped carry her through diffi-
cult periods and have allowed
her to move on with daily life.
For example, when Pat was
in physical therapy the doctors
raved about her improvement.
Little did they know the puz-
zles that physical therapy
patients are supposed to com-
plete were actually being done
by her daughter and husband.
During occupational thera-
py, doctor's inquired about her
ability to open jars and cook,
tasks that are difficult for many
patients.
Pat's husband responded
with "Well, she made home-
made spaghetti and pot roast,
does that count?"
Her desire to continue living
a full life dominates.'
"We just don't want to inter-
rupt our lives and sit.around
and mope," her husband said.
Pat still travels and even has
a trip to Ireland planned with.
her 'daughter.
"If she can physically do it.
she'll go." said her husband.
She has also made several
trips to Hawaii. one of her
favorite places, and describes it
with a wistful'expression.
"Everything is open and all
you smell is flowers," she said.
Her attitude is overtly posi-
tive and humorous. She takes
pleasure in simple things,
showing pictures of her multi-
tude of animals in humorous
poses or with holiday ribbons
perched on their heads.
Another picture is' of an island


off the coast 'of Seattle wheie
you can hear seals, Pat says, as
she imitates the high-pitched
bark of a'seal.
,Pat. has a natural ease and
openness that you feel imme-
diately, but underneath her
warm exterior, you sense that
this woman is in charge of her
own life.
"She's such a.fighter," said
D avis. ,I ..... ..-_.: .... _

Pat's life, according to her fam-
ily, and friends. She was off to
the gym the second out inter-
I f' I I r, '


tenant commander on a
nuclear submarine."
Alice Laddre, another Pablo
Towers resident, was one of the
first members of the Women's
'Air Corps, or WAC, in 1942..
A clerk typist stationed at an
air base in Richmond, Va., 'she
married a staff sergeant in the
Air Corps who served in the
Pacific.
She and her husband; Andy,
who died in May 2000, were
married 57 years.
Jesse Dunbar of Atlantic
Beach joined the WAVES in
August-1-9-43 out of Niagara
Falls, N.Y. While statiof6nd-a
Naval Air Station Jacksonville,


she fell in love with a sailor
from Massachusetts who went
on to become a pioneer
Jacksonville sportscaster.
"We both worked in the,
overhaul and repair of aviation
instruments at the base,"
recalled Dunbar, whose late
htisband, Walt, was the first
sports director at WTLV-12..
Dunbar married in 1945. She
still livhs in the same house she
and her husband purchased in
1957.
Margaret O'Grady, who fin-
ished college on the G.I. Bill,
won't reveaJ what shewvorked
on during her days in Navy
intelligence.


Fred O'Grady, a Purple Heart
recipient, ; was at Camp
Lejeune, N.C., training for the
invasion of the Japanese main-
land when the atom bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima.
Dunbar and Averill were
invited to ride in last
Saturday's Veterans Day parade
in downtown Jacksonville, but
when their ride didn't show
up, they were escorted to.the
VIP .stand, where they were
treated like royalty.
Instead of riding in the
parade, the parade saluted.....

Nease went into the game
without two of its assistant
coaches, one on offense and
one on defense.
The coaches were fired earli-
er in the week after Nease was
cited by the state athletic asso-
ciation for providing special
inducements to a first-year
varsity player whose father
was leasing a residence from
one of the assistants.
Nease football was placed
on six years of restrictive pro-
bation, but does not have to

The Panthers are the
defending 4A state champions
and a top seed in the playoffs.
"Everybody on' our staff has
contributed to building this
program," added Howard,
now in his fourth season at
Nease.
"We started winning and
that gets a lot of detractors.
There are a lot of Nease haters
out there. The venom behind
this is incredible."
Stachitas said losing two
parent assistant coaches was a
blow to the team and the
coaching staff, but not a dis-
traction for the players.
"We wouldn't let it get to
us," said the Ponte Vedra
Beach resident whose older
brother, Chet, led Nease to a
state hoops title in 2001.
"We practiced like normal
and came out and got the vic-
tory."

FROM STAFF

The Nease boys soccer team
tied Bolles, 2-2, Monday night
in a clash of area powerhous-
es.
The host Bulldogs took a 1-0
lead on a goal from Hunter
Howayeck and that's how it
stayed through the first 45
minutes.
In the second half, the
Panthers knotted things at 1-
all on a goal by Nick Duncan.
Bolles recaptured the lead
when Howayeck again con-
nected about midway through
the second half.
But with less than five min-
utes remaining in the game,
Nease squared things on
Duncan's second goal of the
night.
With the tie, the Panthers
record is now 1-0-1. Nease
beat Port Orange Atlantic last
Wednesday for their first vic-
tory of the season.
The boys will lace up their
cleats again Friday when they
travel to Palatka in a 7 p.m.
start.
Nease returns to Panther

Russell says he accepted an
offer from the University of
Connecticut after an official


visit to the Storrs, Conn. cam-
pus over the weekend.
Russell becomes the fifth
Nease player this season to
commit to a Div. I school.
James Wilson (University of
Southern Californiai, Clyde
Yandell (Georgia Tech), Mario
Butler (Georgia Tech), and
Justin Grant (University of
Florida) have all previously
announced verbal commit-
ments.
Russell, who made several
key plays in the Panthers' 49-
13 victory over Belleview last
Friday night, attended
UConn's 46-45 victory over
Pittsburgh Saturday in a show-
down of Big East heavy-
weights.
While the Huskies are better
known for success on the bas-
ketball court than the grid-
iron, the football program has
shown steady improvement
since joining the Big East two
years ago.

A week of smiles for flounder fishermen


November 15, 2006


Flounder fishermen were all
smiles last week as they
returned from Guana Dam
and trips in the river near
Sisters Creek. Speckled trout are

well as the canal. B.R. was the
spot for cobia, large grouper, a
few snapper and excellent
catches of stringer fish. At the
jetties, good catches of
sheepshead and redbass are
being reported.
Capt. David King, and Mike
Morris, had to get their feet wet
but used finger mullet for bait
and pulled 29 flounder out of
the sand at Guana on Tuesday
and Wednesday. On Thursday
and Friday, they made a jetty
run and boxed 42 sheepshead,
a drum and two reds. They
released all of the smaller fish.
Six anxious anglers left B&M
bnght and early Monday
morning for Guana. They had
plenty of finger mullet and
mud minnows and needed
them all. At the end of the
morning they divided up 53
big flounder weighing up to
eight pounds. A great bite.
On Sunday, Mike Tandarich
and Buck Gergely used finger
mullet to net nine flounder
weighing up to eight pounds.
Bob Johnston caught the
heaviest flounder reported last
week. He used a finger mullet
for bait and pulled up a whop-
per at 12 pounds.

Phil Thomas and Bill Creech
teamed up for a catch of 16
flounder in the river near
Dames Point. The had several

On Monday, with Gary and
Mike Hurt, he returned with 25
trout, three reds and a dozen
blues and croakers. Then on
Thursday, with Rick and
Kathey Winder, returned from
the river with 24 trout to six
pounds, a drum and several
small blues.
Greg "Sleeper" Samuels, Scott
Samuels and Dave Capiello had
their hands full when they
wrestled their 65-pound cobia

John fished the remainder of
the morning near Cabbage
Creek and caught five trout to
four pounds.
Larm "Fishman" Finch fished
the river east of Dames Point
with finger mullet and brought
home several dozen flounder
after each trip. On another trip
last Saturday, the "Fishman"
used live shrimp to account for
50 speckled trout near Dames
Point. He also caught 12 large
i yellowmouth.
Capt. Dennis Young, with
the Willie Chaffe party aboard
the "Sea Dancer," cleaned five
snapper to 12 pounds, a 10-
pound grouper and 40 head of
large seabass last Saturday..
Steven Bohn and his son,
Eric, used fiddlers along the jet-
ties early and caught 10
sheepshead and then took off
for the creeks and caught four
trout and three reds.
Bobby Hamm and his young
son, Dalton, fished several creeks
in their new boat and caught
two reds, a drum, three trout
and a pair of flounder. Dalton
pulled in his very fist fish.
Jetty guide Fred Monow, and
friend Jim Allen, fished the
canal north of Sisters Creek
and picked up 15 speckled
trout and three legal reds at 20
to 24 inches. On Thursday,
while fishing with Dr. Robert
H. Still, Fred's cooler was filled
with its limit of speckled trout
and one flounder. They
released 25 other trout.
'Friday was another banner
day. Fred, along with Bill
Dolphson, his son Bill, and 8-
year-old Chad, fished along the
jetties and caught 14
sheepshead and a dozen
seabass and croakers.
Capt. Fred went back to the
jetties Friday morning with
friends Johnny and Buddy
Nettles. They used fiddlers and
shrimp to catch a 32-inch and
a 34-inch red, seven
sheepshead, three yellowmouth
and 22 croakers.

OPINION



Oilers or Texans, Houston just owns the Jaguars


TAT at's been said in this
corner before bears
repeating: It's not a
disgrace to lose to a superior
team, and the Houston Texans
have proved this season they
are superior to this year's
Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Texans have now
whipped the Jaguars twice in
their own playground and here,
where coach and players have
bragged about "home cooking."
Apparently the home chefs.
were off dut' Sunday. Jaguars
fans have a right to know why
this team can't beat the Texans,
a club that was originally put
together from Jacksonville play-
er and coaching castoffs.
The same spell cast on
Wayne Weaver's team still
holds true; Jacksonville could-

PRESS BOX

n't beat Houston when they"
were the Oilers, much less the
Texans. A rose by any other
name still smells the same.
Only Suntday it wasn't Houston
that smelled ... it was the


Jaguars.
One stupid remark by a
Jaguar "guaranteeing" a victory
was enough to ignite the
Texans, they say. Even a team
that has had trouble beating '
anyone, except for the Miami
Dolphins this season.
One could overlook a rookie
making that remark, but not a
seasoned veteran. Especially
one who has been the very
heart and soul of the Jaguars
Sfor several years.
It's time for soul-searching.
Players who can't catch a ball
in their very hands should get
South of the game. Surely there
are saloons who could use bar-
tenders, although the drinks
would probably be dropped
Before getting to the customers.
Good truck drivers are always
needed, too. And the jobs pay


well, although not as much as
pro football; where even the
slightest talefits can afford the
most expensive sports cars.
That leads us to the arrest of
players who booze up and drive
as though they are qualifying
for the Indy 500.
But police are arresting the
wrong Jaguars. The ones who
should be behind bars are those
impersonating NFL players.
Here's a suggestion: If certain'
players can't catch passes a sev-
enth-grader would snare, why
not throw to their feet for a: .
change. Soccer players and
monkeys show good control
with their feet.
Some Jaguars are guilty of
taking money under false pre-
tenses, robbing owner Wayne
Weaver and the fans who pay
for tickets.
To paraphrase the elder Jini
Mora in a memorable melt-
down, "Playoffs? Playoffs? Are
you kidding.me, playoffs?" This
team, with all of its maladies
like injuries and, luh, court
cases, will do well to finish the
season.
