Fired coaches appeal Nease football ruling
by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
Two Nease High School assis-
tant football coaches tired this
month for recruiting violations
have appealed, saving the
Florida High School Athletic
Association's ruling should be
overturned.
The appeal, filed Friday,
claims that an FHSAA commis-
sioner found the student in
question had not been recruit-
.ed "but found that illegal
. recruiting occurred at Nease."
Meanwhile, the principal of
Nease said that although the
school will not appeal the
FHSAA ruling, it will appeal the
six-year probationary period
once the new Ponte Vedra high
school is ready to open in
2008.
Thomas J. Fraser, the attor-
ney representing the coaches,
said Monday that the conclu-
sions of the FHSAA investiga-
tion are contradictory because
the association ruled that the
football player involved was in
fact eligible to play.
"In my mind it seems fairly
inconsistent," Fraser said in a
telephone interview.
The appeal, a copy of which
was obtained from the FHSAA,
notes that the FHSAA ruled
Nov. 6 that its recruiting policy
had been violated because the
player's father had been
offered and accepted work
with Wesley Haynes, who was
then an assistant coach.
The next day, Haynes, Fraser
and FHSAA officials met "to
discuss the fact that [the busi-
ness relationship between
Haynes and the father] had
absolutely nothing to do with
his son, and certainly had
nothing to do with Nease ath-
letics," according to the
appeal.
The player in question, who
moved with his father to
Ponte Vedra Beach from out-
of-state, was not declared ineli-
gible, and Nease did not have
to forfeit any of its games nor
its chance to defend its state
title.
According to the appeal, the
father of the student was look-
ing for international business
opportunities, and found
Haynes' company, Licensing
Partners International, or LPI,
in Ponte Vedra.
The father visited Haynes in
Ponte Vedra in April, but
Haynes "did not even know
that [the businessman] had a
son," the appeal says.
The father later enrolled his
son at Nease on a return visit
in May and eventually made
living arrangements with for-
mer assistant coach Kenneth
Fasnacht after meeting him at
a Nease football practice, the
I,
appeal says.
Fasnacht was found to have
given the player rides to and
from school and had sublet a
room in a condominium to the
father and son.
The FHSAA investigation
concluded that those arrange-
ments violated its policy on
special inducements.
However, during the meet-
ing with Haynes, the FHSAA
commissioner

Representatives of Verticality,
a company proposing a cell
tower along State Road A1A at
Mickler Road, will meet with
residents of Seaside, a nearby
subdivision, some of whom
have objected to the tower.
The meeting will be held at 4
p.m. Nov. 29 in the Ponte Vedra
Beach Branch Library.
The 150-foot-tall tower,
which would require a variance,
was recommended for approval
by the St. Johns County
Planning aiTd' Zifin-'gAgency
(PZA).
The PZA voted for approval in
October, despite negative com-
ments from nearby residents,
including representatives of
Seaside.
William Rand, owner of
Verticality, told PZA members
that he didn't meet with resi-
dents about his proposal
because meetings about a simi-
lar tower on Roscoe Boulevard
were unproductive.
Rand told the board that per-
sons who attended those previ-
ous meetings were rude and did
not want to listen to what he
had to say.
PZA members denied the
Roscoe Boulevard tower in June,
and the St. Johns County
Commission later denied
Verticality's appeal of that
denial.
The tower at Mickler Road
would-require a variance from a
county code that requires such-
towers to be at least 250 from.
residential property lines.
The tower is 153 feet from a
residential property line to the
west and 173 feet from a resi-
dential structure on that proper-
ty, according to Rand's attorney,
Rich Maguire with Rogers
Towers.

Rich elected chair, 3-2
by LAURA FOWLER
STFfF WRITER
Incoming St. Johns County
commissioners Tom Manuel
and Ron Sanchez were sworn
in Tuesday morning in a brief
ceremony at the county audi-
torium in St. Augustine.
Within minutes, the two
made waves by completing
their first action on the board:
electing Commissioner Ben
Rich as chairman after reject-
ing Cyndi Stephenson as chair.,
Rich was a vocal supporter of
both candidates during the
elections, which caused ten-
sion between him and com-
missioners Karen Stern and
Bruce Maguire the incum-
bents who were ousted from
the District 2 and District 4
seat, respectively.
In. Tuesday's meeting,
Commissioner Jim Bryant,
who served as chairman for the
past year, nominated Vice
Chairman Stephenson for the
chairman's spot.
But Stephenson's nomina-
tion failed 3 to 2, with Rich,
Manuel and Sanchez dissent-
ing.
Manuel was also nominated
by Stephenson, but he with-
drew his nomination in an
effort to ensure that Rich got
the position instead.
Moments later, Manuel was
elected vice chair.
"I'm excited about the
opportunity," Manuel said -in

an interview after the short
meeting.
Manuel said his primary goal
as a commissioner is to work
with the city of Jacksonville on
transportation issues, econom-
ic development and preserving
natural resources.
"\Ve have to start building
regional activities that are joint
[efforts]," he said.
Likewise, Sanchez said he, is
excited about being sworn in
and is "ready to go to work on
the projects that need to be
done."
Sanchez said he is eager, but
not nervous, about taking his
seat at the commissioners'
table.
"It took me 10 years to get
there," he said with a chuckle.
As for their holiday plans,
both Manuel and Sanchez said
they will be spending
Thanksgiving at home in St.
Johns County with their fami-
lies and friends.
Sanchez joked that his holi-
day dinner will be slightly dif-
ferent this year, because he
won't need to explain how he
lost yet another bid for a St.
Johns County Commission
seat.
He also talked about what he
will give thanks for as he sits
down to a plate of turkey on
Thursday.
"I'm very thankful that .
we've got a board that will rep-
resent the people," he said.
"\We need to renew the confi-
dence in government that is
lust not there."

Appeal: Nease eyes probation appeal
Continued from A-1
explained that the player "was
not 'recruited' by special
inducement" but that "Nease
had violated the 'ask before
you act' policy," of which the
assistant coach was unaware,
according to the appeal.
Ohn Nov. 7, the FHSAA
revised its ruling, finding that
the violation of FHSAA's policy,
"was unintentional based on
lack of knowledge of the poli-
cy," according to the appeal.
"Therefore, the 'policy' that
Commissioner Stewart found
that Nease violatedd was the
fact that it did not seek a pre-
liminary eligibility ruling,"
according to the appeal.
The FHSAA's bylaws say a
member school may, but is not
required to, request an official
ruling on a student's eligibility,
the appeal says.
In a case such as this, "where
common sense would dictate
that there is no relationship
between a parent's business
activities and the athletic activ-
ities of their children," the
request for an eligibility ruling
would not be required, accord-
ing to the appeal.
"Therefore it is impossi-
ble to sustain a finding that Mr.
Haynes in any way violated^,
any policy so "the finding that
there was a violation commit-
ted by someone associated
with Nease High School should
be reversed."
The, appeal goes on to say
that the FHSAA official who
conducted the investigation
did not interview or attempt to
contact Haynes, which "consti-
tutes a funhdamnental lack of due
process."
Based on .Stewart's interpre-
tation of FHSAA policies, the
appeal says, "companies. in
Florida now have a dutyto
...have each of their employees
disclose the athletic participa-
tion of each of their children to
ensure compliance."
Nease Principal Linda
Thomson said earlier this
month that she fired the two
coaches after the FHSAA rul-
ing, which put the school on
sLx years of restrictive proba-
tion and levied a $20,000 fine.
Thomson said in an inter-
view Monday that the school is
not involved in the appeal, and
is accepting the conclusions
and consequences of the
FHSAA's investigation.
However, Thomson said she
does intend to appeal the
length of the probation period
after the 2007-08 school year,
when the new Ponte \'edra
high school will be opening.
Many of Nease's students
andperhaps some of its faculty
and coaches will be movingit)
the new school.
Thomson said she wants to
appeal the restrictive probation
once the school demonstrates
that it has made changes.
"We felt that at this point to
turn around and appeal right
*now would be inappropriate,"
Thomson said. :
"However, the length of time
is something that could be
appealed [in about a yearj" ,
Thomson said the school
will now conduct careful
screening of every athlete who
transfers into Nease athletics.
Nease coaches will be
responsible for learning where
the student athletes came from
and wh\ they transferred.
Thomson said she will also
make sure all the coaches,
booster parents and guidance
counselors at Nease are aware
of FHSAA policies.
S"\Ve lust want to be above
reproach," Thomson said. "We
* really want to be a role model
for what a good program
would look like."
According to Jack Watford, a
FHSAA spokesman, an appeal
of the association's findings or
the fines must be done within
10 days of the day they are
issued.
The deadline for such an
appeal was Monday.
Appeals for the reduction of
the probation period, however,
can be made at any time dur-
ing that restrictive period,
Watford said.
Workers from
both stations
meet at 3rd St.
for Thanksgiving
by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
Jacksonville Beach
Firefighters on duty
Thanksgiving Day will still-
gather with friends and fami-
ly for a holiday feast.
Fire Chief Gary Frazier said
both stations come together
with their loved ones to cele-
brate the- holiday at the sta-
tion headquarters at 3rd Street
and 3rd Avenue North.
,"I buy a turkey every year,"
he said. "It's kind of our tradi-
-ti'on." ." ,
Frazier said firefighters will
'not conduct any special train-
ing or inspections but they
still respond to any calls for
service.
Tower:
Continued from A-1
The tower is also within
600 feet of AlA, a scenic'
highway, but it complies
with county codes because it
is an alternative structure
with internally ]mounted
antennas that will not be vis-
ible, he said.
'It would look like a flag-
pole without a flag, accord-
ing to Rand's presentation to
the PZA last month.
Rich and Rand have met
with a few other communi-
ties that surround the tower
at Mickler Road and both
said they think the meetings
. went well.
"So (ar it's all been posi-
tive," Rand said in an inter-
view Monday.
"The majority' of he peo-
ple were happy with the type
of design we're proposing."
The variance for the tower
will go before the St. Johns
Board of County
Commissioners Dec. 12 for
final approval.
"The rest is the same as any
other day," he said. "We still
get calls 24-7."
Last Thanksgiving Day, fire-
fighters .pitched in to help sal-
vage a family's holiday meal
after investigating a possible
gas leak at a Jacksonville
Beach home.
A woman cooking her holi-
day turkey smelled gas and
while she thought it was a
leak, a thorough inspection
revealed the gas was out.
The annual meal at the fire
station was over so former
Capt. Chuck Nist offered to
bring the turkey back to the
station and finished cooking
it for the woman there.
When she arrived to pick it
up, firefighters helped load
the bird in her car and donat-'
ed their own home cooked
trimmings of potatoes, stuff-.
ing, banana pudding and the
station's traditional holiday
egg rolls prepared by the
mother of one of the training
lieutenants.

"That was a unique call. The
guys take good care of the
people in our community
however they can," Frazier
said. "It just made her day."
Not all calls are remedied
that easy. Frazier said the vol-
ume of traffic crashes increas-
es at this time of year because
people travel more during the
holiday season.
. "That's just an unfortunate
part of the holiday season,"
he said. "The day after
Thanksgiving is always
worse."
Frazier said he urges people
to use caution whether on the
road or in the kitchen.
He noted that deep fryers

The Leader's Opinion
Appreciate all
your blessings
The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with
the blessings of fndtful fields and healthful skies...
President Abraham Lincoln
7... ." ; ,. October 3, 1863
SThanksgiving Proclamation
So begins Lincoln's invitation to all Americans to spend
a Thursday in November giving thanks and praise.
Fortunately, those words are still apt.
Lincoln's proclamation came during the Civil War as he
sought ways to unite a divided nation. Some states had.
been observing Thanksgiving for many years dating
back to a harvest celebratory feast in 1621 at Plymouth
Colony
In 1939, another president got involved with the holi-
day when FrankldinDelafhbRoosevelt set Thanksgiving for
the third Thursday in November assuring a long
Christmas shopping season for a financially beleaguered
nation, To quiet some of the squabbling that ensued,
Congress jointly decreed in 1941 that Thanksgiving
should fall on'the fourth Thursday of November.
It still does. The holiday shopping season officially
begins Friday, though the warmup legan long before
Halloween in many stores.
The origins of the holiday may not matter during the
annual gathering of family and friends around a turkey.,
carcass and the football games on TV.
But national unity is certainly to be celebrated on this
uniquely American holiday. All it takes to celebrate the
holiday is a good appetite and a sense of appreciation and
gratitude for blessings both big and small.
;Thankful for much
To the editor:
I took the "scenic" drive
down First Street to work this
:morning. Being a
:Kindergarten teacher, I started
,thinking about the "Things I
*Was Thankful For" as this was
igong to be our topic of dis-
.cussion today. I thought I
;would send my personal list
[to you:
I I am thankful to every one
'of those little tiny home own-
ers, and businesses who did
.not sell out to high- ise''c6ndo
developers.
I am thankful for the few
;old beach nostalgic homes.
They are so cute. It is just too
bad there are only a few of
them left. They have such
charm.
I am thankful that large
condos left a few peeks of the
ocean, for me as I dive by on
First Street.
I am thankftil to "Beaches
Watch" for organizing citizens
of Jax Beach to vote for the
35-foot height amendment.
It was the desire of the citi-
zens: they just needed .a driv-
-r' lgforc'F"ifft'Mi 'sy hives.

ElIiminate tax exemption
for all churches, temples
To the editor:
Looking at the demographics
of the 300' million people living
in the United States as to-their
varied -eligious persuasions and
also the continued effort of the
GOP/RNC to use these facilities
for campaigning and for
endorsements, it is time to sim-
ply eliminate any and all prop-
erty tax exemptions given to the
land and buildings used for wor-
ship.
This suggestion does not
include very important charita-
ble organizations such as
Catholic Charities, Salvation
Army, Good-Will, United Jewish
Appeal, etc. The suggestion
applies only to buildings identi-
fied as .churches, temples,
mosques, etc.- -
There has been so much
abuse, especially with the
Catholic, the Baptist, the
Methodist, the Lutheran, and
the Episcopal churches that it
costs the Internal Revenue
Service a large sum of money to
monitor these efforts for viola-
tions.
Without the tax exemption
status, the churches could then
charge which ever political
party wants to reach their mem-
bers. This is especially fair to
nonchurchgoers who now sub-
scribe to the belief that God has
called his people out of the
churches because they have
been taken over by the devil.

on my side of the family tree, I
am grateful that these relatives
are willing to endure holiday
traffic to join us even if I do
burn the house down.
I was discussing my soon-to-
be-ill-fated meal plans with one
of my girlfriends, who has
resigned herself to spending at
least eight hours on the road to
reach her kin In Mississippi.
With both of our families
steeped in Southern tradition,
we could not help but notice
the similarities that were too
funny not to share.
Thus the birth of The 2006
Thanksgiving Day Video
Challenge. The word challenge
suggests some kind of competi-
tion where one of us will be
declared victorious.
It's not about winning
(although I am certain that our
family's antics will far surpass
hers. It's about family. These
tapes will preserve precious
moynent& shared between ,gei.,
eraitt~ wjile ..priai'ru" igtd,.L
less hours of entertainmerrnas''
only a family gathering can.
There is only one rule in our
video challenge. None of the
footage can be staged. That's
fine because you couldn't make
this stuff up.
For example, last year when
my friend's entire family really
thought the house was on fire
simply because she turned on
the heat after she could see
her breath indoors.
My husband's family, on the
other hand, could roast a
Thanksgiving turkey in the
house without even turning on
the oven given their Ireferred
thermostat setting.
Every family has THAT rela-
tive at the holiday gathering.
In my friend's case it's an uncle
who insists on smoking a
turkey over an open fire that is
not considered big enough
until he's stripped of all facial
hair.
In our family, I will
'inevitably be the one that will
be enjoying my holiday fare
sans eyebrows. (Grocery stores
should display the fire extin-
guishers next to the turkeys.)
It's the little quirks that make
every family unique even if
they are not documented on
video. We should give.thanks
for all the little things that
enrich our lives and make these
annual gatherings so memo-
rable and comic.- .

Holiday at
Pete's offers:
fun, quality
family time
ATW while most of you
/ will be slaving away
Over hot stoves, cov-
ered up to your elbows in
turkey, stuffing and mashed
potatoes, I'll be squeezing in
some quality mother/daugh-
ter time with my mom on
Thanksgiving ... at a bar.
Before you jump to conclu-
sions and assume that we
may have a drinking problem
or some serious family issues,
let me explain. Mom and I
recently discovered Pete's Bar
and its annual Thanksgiving
festivities.
For years, we were missing
out on the experience of
mingling with the throngs of.
local people at Pete's Bar on
Turkey day, drinking a
mimosa or a Bloody Mary.
Unaware of the fun to be had
at the county's oldest bar, we
were slaving away over hot
stoves.
But, a few years ago, a
friend enlightened me. She
told me all about Pete's and
its Thanksgiving Day "party"
that annually draws families
and friends to reunite at the
annual gathering.
Every year, Pete's celebrates
the day with mimosas and
Bloody Mary's, or any other
df611Hbl''you may desire, start-
ing at 9-~..m. Although they
remain open until 2 a.m.,
.Mom and I are long gone
(just to quell any concerns
for those of you who were
still worried we may have a
problem).
If you're skeptical, give it a
try. It's one of the best ways '
to start what too often
becomes a stressful holiday.
I've only gone for the past
two years, but I can quickly
see it may become a tradition
for Mom and me. I only had
to mention the place this
year before she was giddily
asking if we were still plan-
ning on going.
If you're anything like my
family, the day begins in a
hectic whirl, trying to coordi-
nate how many things need
to be cooked, for how long,
in one oven.
Thanks to Pete's and our
newfound tradition, we now
wake up at a decent hour,
pop the turkey in the oven,
and head to the bar for a few
drinks while the turkey
cooks.:
We're home in time to fin-
ish everything else, and we're
in a much more relaxed state
of mind andyes, we've
worked up a good appetite.
Instead of exhausting our-
selves with the minuscule
stresses of the day, we start
the'day being thankful.f6r
real quality time spent with
family and friends in a fun
setting.

Wal-Mart is not wanted in NB
To the editor:
During the past months as
the fight to stop Wal-Mart from
building a Supercenter in NB, a
mere five miles from an existing
one, it has become clear by the
overwhelming quantity of pub-
lished letters, emails to City
Council, and public outcries at
council and board meetings,
that Wal-Mart is not wanted in
NB.
The reasons cited are numer-
ous: Traffic, Crime, Increased
Costs to the City, Loss of local
business, and reduced property.
values. These negative effects
resonate across America in city
after city where Wal-Mart has'
built its dense web of stores.
Anyone doing Internet research
will find site after site and study
after study consistently demon-
strating these negative effects.
No 'one element however
stands alone in showing the-
effects on citizens and local
business.
Wal-Mart is a fascinating
dichotomy. It is the classic story
of good and evil. A study of
Wal-Mart's history, business
structure,and 'operation is both
a great example pf entrepre-
neurial business success and a
not so visible insidious and per-
vasive business cancer that
destroys a lot of things in its
path and changes our nation
and our daily lives in ways we
may not want in the end.
Do you want to sit back and
accept any change that is thrust
upon you? Or, do you want to
utilize all ways available to have
your voice heard and your
opinion considered on this
issue which is yet concluded?
If, as I, you feel the latter is a
more logical choice, I would
offer four suggestions:
1. Join with the citizen and:
,local .business action group,.
"Atlantic Alliance LLC", and
attend the public portion of the
Special .Mediation process
between Wal-Mart and the City
Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. in City Hall.
2. Contact our wonderful
local news media with letters
expressing your opinion and
desires.
.3. Support City Council's,
efforts, with phone calls, letters
and Emails, to stop or palatably.
modify Wal-Mart's plans.
4. Volunteer your time' to
help or make a financial contri-
bution to Atlantic Alliance's
efforts to see that the will of the-
people in- NB and AB prevails
on this issue.

Baptist Beaches cardiac rehab clan
celebrates life as 'Grateful Undead'
by KATHY HARTMAN
EDITOR
T he fourth week in
November marks a cele-
S Lbration of thanks
throughout the co.untry.
But for oneg_9ou -ot
friends at the Beaches -
who call themselves the
Grateful Undead every,
week is an opportunity to
gather in celebration of life,
health and friendship.
Each of the group has had
some "cardiac event" -
heart attack, heart surgery or
some other heart procedure
- and has lived not only to
tell about it, but also to offer
each other support and, as it
turns out, to have fun.
"We decided we all like
each other," said Tom Brown
of Ponte Vedra Beach, who
joined the Tuesday and
Thursday rehab group after
triple bypass surgery about
three years ago.
Their camaraderie keeps
them coming back to rehab
"just to see the guys and be
with our friends," Brown
said, noting that two women
are among the "guys."
Sara Holloway-Smith. car-
diac and pulmonary rehab
coordinator at Baptist
Medical Center Beaches, said
the name the group chose by
a vote of its approximately
15 members is "perfect."
"They have figured out
pr.,olo ', CUC< ADAMS

Thursday as she listens to
some of the Grateful Undead
pledge to stick with healthy liv-
ing habits.
that Life is short and we're
not here forever on this
planet," Holloway-Smith
said in a recent telephone
interview.
The attitude exhibited by
the group's members, she
said, is this: "Let's make each
day count. Let's appreciate
each other. Let's focus on the
important things in life."
The cardiac patients who
were to become the Grateful
Undead began meeting
about three years ago, said
Holloway-Smith.
Each had completed the
initial cardiac rehabilitation
period usually two to
three months, she said -
thus becoming a "graduate"
encouraged to stay in rehab
Although other patients '
have regular rehab times at
Baptist Beaches, Holloway-
Smith said, this group
proved to be unique.
Most of them are in their
50s, she'said, "so they're a
younger cardiac population."
Many are still working and
all are "very vital and full of
life," she said.
"Common problems and
understanding created bonds
which are strongly accented
with good humor," Grateful
Undead Lewis E. Story
explained in an e-mail.
"You might say a fraternity
broke out," he said.
"No event is too small to
cause a party to break out."
Last Thursday, for exam-
ple, the group gave a surprise
birthday party for Holloway-
Smith.
Instead of a birthday cake,
Brown made her a taco pie
using fat-free refried beans,
fat-free sour cream, low-fat
shredded cheese and ground
turkey.
The birthday candle was
in the shape of a question
mark, "because we didn't
want to get in trouble with
the warden," Brown said,
playfully referring to
Holloway-Smith.
The following evening,
many of the Grateful
Lindead attended a party to
mark Brown's 60th birthday,
held'at the Ponie Vedra Gdlf
and Country Club min'''-''
Sawgrass Players Club.
There, the husband of a
rehab nurse dressed in a
gorilla costume to provide
some entertainment.
The gorilla costume was
introduced back when one of
the rehab nurses was leaving
for a teaching job, Brown
said.
Group members felt that
because she had "held our
arms taking our blood pres-
sure so much, that she must
be able to identify people by
their arms," Brown said in a
telephone interview Monday.
During her goodbye party
at rehab, the nurse was
blindfolded and felt her way
past the first three arms, he
said. The fourth arm was
that of Brown wearing the
gorilla costume.
"When she felt the arm,
she flipped the blindfold off,
and, of course, I scooped her
up in my arms as King
Kong," he said.

COLUMNIST
T rained in the classical
European tradition of
the culinary arts, Sarah
Wiggins Bove of Jacksonville
Beach said she credits that
education with her current
i knowledge and appreciation
of food. .
After growing up-in.
Jacksonville and graduating
from the University of Florida,
Bove:moved to Washington,
D.C., where sheworked at the
Smithsonian Institute.
Influenced, in part, by a
good friend and by her "culi-
nary urges," Bove enrolled in
the L'Academie d'Cuisine,
based in Bethesda, Md.
During her childhood, Bove
was exposed to her grand-
mother's southern cooking
and her mother's dedication
to family booking.
(Bove's mother,
FrancesWiggins, was the sub-
ject of an earlier "Kathy's
Cooks" column.)
As a teenager, Bove watched
Julia Child's cooking show on
public television, and had an
"awakening," she said.
"She introduced me to
sauces and cooking tech-
niques," added Bove, who was
exposed to many ethnic foods
while living in D.C., among
them, Mexican, Thai and
Japanese cuisines.
Inspired by these influences
and believing that she had an
ability to cook and under-
stand food, she began classes
at L'Academie, a school run by
two brothers, Pascal and
Francois Dionot.
The pair taught students- -
Rriflle-skilis,' ho\ to' bai h'e'r--
meat, how to make pastry,
stocks, and, what Bove called
the "mother sauces," vinai-
grette, mayonnaise, tomato,
brown, and bechamel.
Bove said she was fortunate
to do her L'Academie "extem-
ship" at The Tabard Inn on
Dupont Circle. She said the
D.C. restaurant had "many
talented cooks in an extreme-
ly creative kitchen."
Bove eventually joined the
staff at The Tabard Inn and
after a few years was recruited
by Chef Roberto Donna to,
work at one of his
Washington-area restaurants, I
Matti.
Bove learned northern
Italian cooking there and
eventually was promoted to
sous chef.
A typical workday in the
fast-paced environment of a
high-profile D.C. restaurant,
according to Bove, begins at 9
a.m. and lasts until 10 or 11
p.m. with an hour's break in
between.
After several years of this
LlCOOKS
physically demanding work
pace, Bove decided it was time
for a less intense work envi-
ronment.
In 1993, she returned to
North Florida; settling in
Jacksonville Beach to live clos-
er to her family. She worked
as the pastry chef for the
Village Bread Market, the
Sawgrass Marriott resort, and
other area restaurants.
Eventually, Bove said she
"found her niche" working for
Publix Supermarkets.
"Publix was interested in
my culinary and managerial
experience," added Bove, who
advanced from an entry-level
position in Publix's Sawgrass
Village bakery to bakery man-
ager at the Publix in Atlantic
Beach.
Her current title is adminis-
trative coordinator and trainer
for Publix.
"T Lings have come ful cir-
cle," said Bove, adding that
she now uses her culinary tal-
ent and training to cook sole-
ly for her "loved ones."
At home, she finds the same
pleasure in cooking that she
had in her teens when she
was inspired to make her first
cheese sauce by Julia Child.
Cooking the basics well,
Bove said, is what interests her
most now. By seasoning well
and cooking properly, she
jid, "even a meatloaf can
fti'dck yot'r sockls cff.'"'':' -
Her recipe for Ginger Soy',
Marinade is versatile enough
to use for grilled chicken, fish,
beef, or pork. The marinade
has what she describes as
"Eastern flavors" that are
sweet, salty, hot, and tart.
Strata with Bacon, Spinach,
and Mushrooms is a more ele-
gant and flavorful variation of
the standard strata recipe.
Bove uses bacon, spinach,'
and mushrooms and either
Gruyere, Jarlsberg, or Swiss
cheese to flavor the bread and
cheese custard casserole.
Bake the strata in a round
souffle dish and then unmold
it onto a serving plate for a
beautiful presentation.
Bove describes Mintywiches
as "a superb cookie for
Christmas or any special occa-
sion."

"The ministry, however, to forward-deployed Catholic
soldiers who stand and serve in harm's way'on a daily
basis has been very rewarding."

Musical computer for older kids now on market
by ZANE BINDER
COMPUTER GL'RL
Corgi USA has introduced a
musical computer for slightly
older children. The Corgi iCar
plugs right into your iPod (or
similar device) and really puts
on a show!
As parents, you might
remember Corgi from your
youth. They're the worldwide
pioneer of collectible die-cast
models and replicas. The
firm's celebrating its 50th
anniversary this year and
coincidentally has entered the
computer age. Picture, if you
will, a 1/24th scale model
Cadillac Escalade sitting atop
what could be a bedside radio.
Just plug in your MP3 player,
CD unit, stereo, PC, iPod or
anything with a standard
headphone jack. Suddenly, the
music will pour forth from the
car, but it's also designed to
put on a show simultaneously.
The iCar rocks right to left,
front to back and up and
down. Colored lights illumi-
nate the wheel wells, rims,
undercarriage, trunk and
engine areas. Even if you don't
own a portable plug-in musi-
cal .device, have no fear. The
iCar has numerous tunes
already installed.
The iCar runs on six'AA bat-
teries or an AC adapter. For
$35, don't expect sound repro-
duction like a top-line
Nakamichi, but it isn't bad. It's
available at Wal-Mart,' ,
Amrazon.com, Target and
numerous other retailers. The
iCar is truly unique!

using a secret code that comes

ly, you'll receive an adoption

Your kids will enter a magi-
cal world where theyill feed
and nurture their new pal,
dress it and create rooms for it
to enjoy. You'll also be able to
contact other Webkinz owners
to play games, figure out trivia
quizzes and learn simple
money management. Be
'wL ,
aware, though, the User
Agreement you're mandated
to sign to gain access to
WVebkinz World contains lim-
its on your pet's access.
Registration expires in approx-
imately one year, and if you
want to keep your Webkinz
enrollment active, you must
buy a neqv pet! If you forget
your username or password,
you'll also have a difficult but
not impossible task reactivat-
ing your membership.
The Webkinz idea is a good
one, but making kids and par-
ents jump through hoops or
spend additional money to
buy another Webkinz, isn't.
Overall, the iCar and
Webkinz are decent ideas. As
with other toys, check them
carefully before buying. Both
you and your kids will be glad
you did!

Undead: Spirit, support
Continued from A-8
rehab] at least once a month,
said Brown, aka Tommy
Bahama.
Each Grateful Undead has
a nickname, he said. Brown's
came about because of a
flowered shirt he wore to
rehab and a shipping compa-
ny of his that shipped most-
ly to the Caribbean, he said.
The Grateful Undead
known as "Dawg" is a big
Georgia fan; "Spiderman"
climbs up high in his job
with an electric utility;
"Viking" is a tall woman
from Norway, and "King
Bruce" once posed as the
king in "a little one-act play
for one young lady who was
leaving," Brown said.
Story, who takes photos at
all Grateful Undead func-
tions, is known as "Flash."
Grateful Undead celebra-
tions outside rehab typically
include Holloway-Smith and
rehab nurses, plus everyone's
spouse.
But it is the twice-weekly
sessions that are the founda-
tion of the Grateful Undead
family, whose members cred-
it Holloway-Smith with
much of their success.
"She keeps you inspired,"
Brown said. "And then the
other thing is the cama-
raderie of the guys and gals
in our group.
"We just look forward to
Tuesday and Thursday after-
noons to get together and
tell stories and tease each
other and conspire for the
next birthday party," Brown
said.
"This bunch will not let
you give up," Story said, not-
ing the group has "a spirit
of support, understanding
and togetherness that I
doubt could be found else-
where.
"We are all survivors who
are extremely thankful for
the physical and emotional
support that we found with
each other under Sara's
wing."
"They really are a grateful
group," Holloway-Smith
said, "[and] I am grateful to
have them."

Recipes: Strata with bacon, spinach, mushrooms
Cont. from A-8
candy filling. The recipe,
which originated from "The
Washington Post," has been
part of her collection for more
than 25 years.
Fresh Cranberry Relish is
made from a family recipe
and is delicious both with
turkey and pork.
Bove remembers all the chil-
dren in her family helping her
mother make this dish for the
holidays. Back then they used
a meat grinder instead of a
food processor and the texture
of the relish was even better
made the old-fashioned way,
she said
Thet follow ig are recipes from
Sarah it igims Bove.

Nease marches onto regional final
Panthers overcome
mistakes in victory
over Merritt Island
B\ JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
A.SSOCLTE EDITOR
Any high school football
team that commits three
turnovers in the second
round of the state playoff is
hanging up
the helmets
on
Thanksgiving
week.
Any team,
that is. except
Nease.
The top-
ranked

iClass 4A No.
11 overcame a
trio of mis-
takes to throt-
tle visiting
Merritt Island
49-20 Friday
in a regional
semifinal at
Panther
Stadium.
The victory

have been 42-" at halftime,
but those turnovers killed us
in the first half," Craig
Howard, Nease's fourth-vear
head football coach, said
after the win, his team's 21st
in a row.
"But we have a philosophy
about turnovers. We tell the
kids to flush it, move on and
concentrate on the next play.
"At halftime, we said we
can't have those turnovers in
the second half."
The Panthers, who turned
the ball over three times in a
seven-minute stretch of the
second quarter, led 28-14 at
the break.
Merritt Island 15-71 closed
to within 28-20 with 6:08 to
play in the third quarter after
driving 78 yards on 12 plays.
The Mustangs were driving
for the potential tying touch-
down with 1:3,- remaining in
the third when Nease safety
Hunter Bates atoned for a
first-half fumble with an
interception at the Panthers
1-yard line.
Nease converted the pick
99-yard scoring drive,
re-establishing
-.. r its dominance
With two more
S TD drives to
cap the con-
test.
"If Hunter
hadn't inter-
cepted it, they'
would have
scored and
went for the
2-point con-
version to
20 tie," surmised
49 Howard.
"That was
the turning
point. Then
we drove the
thing length of the
field and it
e tell was over."
wvery- "That Q9-
vard drive

ersity added Nease

Danny
Cowgill,
g'Q f whose unit

turnovers,
two in the
second half
off interceptions
"Anytime something bad
happens, we tell the boys
that everybody makes mis-
-tak-eT-ut it's ho\% they

Nease also muffed a punt
against Lake City on Oct. 20.
The fumble gave the Tigers a
first-and-goal situation.
But Nease strong safety
lared MNacNaught rectified
the miscue with a caused
fumble at the Nease 1.
"That's kind of our mental
state," said Bates, a junior
whose father, Bill, was the
first NFL player to be named
an All-Pro special teamer in
1984.
"When we get in adverse
situations, we have to put it
out of our minds and make
plays. If one person doesn't
do his job, it's a bust."
Pr.ro ryv ROB DeANGELC,
Nease High running back Zach Tronti, right, drags Merritt Island defensive back Tray Stevens for a first down during last Friday
night's second-round playoff game at Panther Stadium. Tronti rushed for 118 yards including touchdown jaunts of 35 and 11 yards
as the Panthers cruised to a 49-20 victory. Nease hosts Daytona Seabreeze Friday night in the regional final.
Nease was all business in
the first half, rushing for 179
yards and passing for 202.
Junior quarterback Ted
Stachitas was 13 of 19 pass-
ing with a 35-yard scoring
strike to Quinton Huggins
weight catches, 114 yards.
Stachitas (149 rushing
electrified the home crowd
with a 65-yard TD run with
7:08 gone in the first quarter.
The run put Nease up 14-0.
"On that particular play,
Ted made a great read
because we were trying to
throw a screen pass and he
saw that they had it defend-
ed," said Howard.
"They had three lineback-
ers floating right to it so I
just took off and there was a
giant gap [in the defense],"
added Stachitas, who finished
with 351 all-purpose yards.
"We knew we could pass
on them so we took advan-
tage of that early on. After
my interception, we went
back to the run."
Safety Brandon Tuck picked
off Stachitas at the Merritt
Island 2, and the Mustangs.
scored three plays later on a
58-yard TD pass.
Nease's Chris Johnson (83
yards on 9 carries) fumbled
on the Panthers ensuing pos-
session, and Bates muffed a
punt a few minutes later.
The Panthers 1568 total
yards) also lost the handle on
an onside kick that Merritt
Island converted into a 2-
yard TD run to open the sec-
ond quarter.
Nease pounded the rock in
the second half behind senior
Zach Tronti (118 yards), who
scored on runs of 35 and 11
yards.
The Panthers booked 15
runs of 10 or more yards in
the game, six by Tronti and
five by Stachitas. They also
had eight explosive plays of
20 yards or more.
Bates and senior Justin
Grant (nine picks) recorded
interceptions and senior
Danny Russell had a fumble
.~ Me-niTt TiWH'O,, the District
7-4A champ, amassed 142
yards on the ground and 196
through the air, but couldn't
keep pace with Nease's prolif-
ic spread offense.
"When they need to score,
regardless if it's nine yards or
99, they put it in the end
zone," Mustangs coach Lance
Jenkins said after the game.
"They are a championship
team and that's what cham-
pions do. We knew we had to
play mistake-free football. It
was like getting into the ring
with Mike Tyson in his
prime. You make a mistake
and your back is on the
mat."
NOTES: Cowgill was St.
Augustine's.secondary coach
in 2002 when the Yellow
Jackets defeated Seabreeze 49-
21 in the third round of the
3A playoffs. "I called all the
coverages for that game," he
recalled Friday. "They had
Xavier Lee at quarterback
back then. Obviously, they
don't have him back'there
now, but the kid they have is
really good, too."
Seabreeze, under head
coach Mark Beach, runs a
high-scoring spread offense,
.much like Nease. The state-
ranked Sandcrabs were the
district run-ners-up to Merritt
Island, losing 23-17. They
beat 6A Sandalwood 17-9 and
lost to 5A No. 3 Daytona
Mainland 23-13 to close out
the regular season.

GIRLS SOCCER
Bartram Trail 0, Fletcher

Friday night's cold weather
couldn't keep Fletcher High
fans from coming out to sup-
port the girls soccer team.
In an eagerly-anticipated,
early-season match-up
between two of the area's
powerhouses, Bartram Trail
paid a visit to Jack Taylor
Stadium although the result
left both sides unfulfilled.
The 0-0 final score wasn't
indicative of the back-and-
forth pl.y between the Bears
and Senators in both halves.
Still, the nil-all draw left a
bad taste in the mouth of
Fletcher head coach Megan
Pardue.
"1 hate ties," she said. "I
think we could have won,
but we have to learn to play
against bigger and faster
teams."
In the first grueling 40-
minute half, Senators sopho-
more Carolina Lencina had
the best scoring opportunity
from outside the box, but the
Bears goalkeeper was up to
the task and kept the prolific
Lencina from netting a goal.
The talented sophomore,
who made a splash last year
after transferring from
Argentina, is the Senators'
leading scorer this season
and has had hat tricks in two
of the team's five games.
The second half was more
of the same great defense
punctuated by few good scor-
ing chances for either team.

FISHING
Some good catches of speckled trout, redbass
E excellent catches of speck-
led trout, along with a
few redbass, were report-
ed over the weekend in the
river. The "Mayport Princess"
tied up with anglers coming
off with hefty grouper, cobia,
amberjack and coolers filled
with beeliners and seabass.
Capt. Butch Garvin used live
shrimp on a cork rig not too far
from the Coast Guard Station"
last Wednesday and caught 25
speckled trout. And on
Thursday, Butch and John
Campbell tries the Coast Guard
Station and several other spots
near the little jetties and netted
35 speckled trout.
Capt. Kirk Waltz, on his
"Enterprise" with the Mike
Brown party last Tuesday in
the Sisters Creek area, used
live shrimp and jigs and iced
down 15 speckled trout and a
flounder. They also caught
eight big reds.
On Thursday morning,
Capt. Kirk took Mary Jane
Ament and her husband,
Frank, down the river toward
the Buckman Bridge and
fished the drop off for a pair
of 30-inch redbass.

Dyrssen and Cal.Williams put
their live shrimp a stone's
throw away from the new
Wonderwood Bridge and
caught 10 speckled trout, a
flounder and two blues. Five
of their trout were too small to
keep.
Captains David King and
Mike Morris .made the
sheepshead run on Monday
and Tuesday mornings and
weren't disappointed. Using*
live fiddlers along the big
rocks, they lifted 28 '
sheepshead on Monday, and
on Tuesday sacked up 17
sheepshead and five reds. On
Wednesday morning, David
and Mike took the "Crusty
Crab" westward along the
river banks near Sisters Creek.
They used artificial and
caught 50 speckled trout

pounds, six redbass and three
flounder from the
"Bodacious." In the afternoon,
they took fiddlers to the jetties
and caught 11 sheepshead.
Cindy and Steven Bohn
anchored their rig along the
rocks on Monday morning.
Cindy lifted four sheepshead
and a redbass off the rocks and
Steven, using fiddlers, caught
three hefty sheepshead.
Al Wiltshire and John
Burroughs fished near the old
bridge in St. Augustine last
Monday morning and caught a
mixed bag of 25 whiting,
se4bass and yellowmouth. On ,
Wednesday, they took
"Sharkey's Den" outside along
the beach and, using dead
shrimp for bait, caught 55
whiting. Al said the whiting

Jacksonville Beach Pier man-
ager Faye Cottner reports
much better fishing last week.
The pompano are still a little
small but the whiting were
showing up in better numbers.
Walter Harris left the pier
Saturday morning with a good
catch of large whiting in his
cooler.
Troy Thompson, from
Detroit, Michigan, caught a
four-pound tripletail and sev-
eral whiting Saturday morning
from the end of the pier. And
anglers on the very end of the
pier are still releasing redbass
too large to keep.
Capt. George Strate didn't
have to take his anglers too far
offshore last week to catch
plenty of fish. On Monday,. his
anglers brought up nine big
grouper, six jacks, two cobia,
two kings and an excellent
catch of beellners and seabass.
It was the same story on two
.other trips. Big grouper, a few
snapper, amberjack to 45
pounds, cobia and lots of
stringer fish.
Capt. David Crist and Steve
Proctor had another produc-
tive trip last Tuesday. They
came home with nine grouper,
a snapper and plenty of
seabass.

sheepshead, four speckled
trout and 12 croakers.
Capt. Fred took the "Little
Yvonne" back to the rocks
Wednesday morning with his
guests Pat and Diane Ryan.
They brought up 15
sheepshead.
Jim Oliver and his son,
Jimmy, fished both Friday and
Saturday with Fred and what
great days they had. They
caught 48 speckled trout to
three pounds, 45 reds to 23
pounds, three flounder and
seven blues.
George Atelevich and Brian
Curren used live finger mullet
near Blount Island last
Monday morning and brought
20 flounder out of the mud.
On Tuesday, Larry
"Fishman" Finch, his wife,
Murphy, and their daughter,
Laurie, fished the surf at Ponte
Vela.. They used sand fleas to
catch seven pompano and 35

each.
Capt. Dave Sipler, with
guests Dennis De St. Jour and
his 8-year-old son,
Montgomery, along with
friend Cody, came home last
Tuesday with 15 speckled trout
weighing up to two pounds.
On Friday, Capt. Dave took
Greg Vestor and his friend,
Chuck, for a catch of 20 trout.
And on Saturday morning
with Qave Cohen along the
river bank near Mayport, Capt.
Dave reports another fine
catch of 30 speckled trout to
three pounds, a drum, a man-
grove snapper and several
blues. All were caught on live
shrimp.
I won't have a report next
week, but I'll be back the fol-
lowing week with more great
news about local catches.

OPINION
FSU can salvage season Saturday against Gators
rhe road back to lost
| glory at least the start
., of it comes for Bobby
Bowden Saturday at noon at
Doak Campbell Stadium.
That's when those horrid
Florida Gators come to call in
the biggest game of the sea-
son for the Florida State
Seminoles.
Not only does Uncle Bobby:
have to win a game to offset
his dismal losing record this
season, but some of the pres-
tige and honor he's lost during
this campaign amid the firing
(?) or resignation (?) of his son.
Jeff Bowden, who struggled as
FSU's offensive coordinator for
what seems like years, gave in
to the howling of wolves er,
fans and threw in the towel.
He did the right thing, as
painful as it had to be in the
Bowden family.
The ineptness of the
Seminoles offense wasn't all
Jeff's fault, but it might as
well have been. The result was
the same no matter who was
to blame. And all that blame
wasn't aimed at son Jeff, one
might imagine. It might have
been a thinly-disguised attack
on the eldest Bowden.
The angry mob might have
been saying, while toting
REX EDMONDSON
PRESS BOX
torches, tar and feathers,
"Hey, Bobby, isn't it about,
time to turn in your dinner
pail, too? You've given us a
great ride, but there comes a
time ."
No matter. Right now the
object at hand is Florida State
to show they're still alive by
beating Florida, which fields
probably its best team since
the glory days of Steve
Spurrier.
It won't be easy. Florida
State's quarterbacks seem to
be about as steady as the
American policy in Iraq.
That's just the opposite of the
Gators' signal-callers, with
senior Chris Leak fighting to
finish his career and Tim
Tebow (who has already been
awarded the Heisman Trophy
by fans and medial crawling
up his back.
The Gators are good, but at
times even they forget and
commit a few penalties.
Coach Urban Meyer isn't
fooled by the Gators' 62-0
slaughter of Western
Somebody. That was just a
warm-up and even the rookies
were taxed 90 yards. They
were just following what their
elders have been doing all sea-
son.
But Florida is going, no
matter what, to the SEC
championship game. And the
Seminoles, no matter what,
aren't going to theirs.
Jacksonville gets Georgia
Tech as one representative in
the ACC title game. Speaking
of the Hokies, they will have
to battle their hated foes, the
Georgia Bulldogs, in Atheris.
Which Georgia team will
show up? The one that lost to
Vanderbilt and Kentucky, or
the one that destroyed
Auburn? Coach Mark Richt
would love to know himself.
And the Jaguars go to
Buffalo. It's on the schedule,
not a punishment for the way
they've acted this year.

Instant Air Sends Greetings
for a Warm, Safe Holiday
It's that time of year again! "
Yes, it's that time'of year -
time to give thanks for all
things good that have come
into our lives, time to go
Christmas shopping, time to
decorate our homes for the
season (and hopefully win
the grand prize tor the most
creatively decorated house in
the neighborhood) and time
to get our heating systems
serviced and checked.
You read correctly: Now is
the time to get the heater -:
serviced and checked. "I
know, I know, it doesn't
seem to fit in with the rest of
the festivities, but let me
assure you that it does," said With their motto "Fi
Craig Eddy Jr., who along Air in Atlantic Beac
with his 'wife, Dee, owns ice. Pictured above
Instant Air in Atlantic Beach.
Eddy explains why. "I can almost hear you
ask 'Why?' It's just a'heater,'" he says. "True, it
is a heater, but would it be 'just a heater' if it
decided to break down in the middle of the
coldest night of the year? Of course it
wouldn't be! Because if that happened then it
would no longer be 'just a heater' but anoth-
er challenge to be addressed among a million
other challenges during a very busy holiday
season. Arid, to top it all off, vou have fami-
ly staving with you (read: in-faws) who may
get a little antsy'because they're cold."
Eddy offers some additional food for
thought that may debunk the "it's just a
heater" comment. Did you know you and
your family's safety coufd be compromised?
"I challenge you to research and find news
stories relating to how a house may have
burned down or how a family may have been
.sent to the hospital poisoned by carbon
monoxide- all due to a poorly maintained
heating system that isn't working properly,"
he said.
That's where the professionally trained,
background-checked and drug-tested comfort
specialists at Instant Air can help, according
to Eddy. They have in their arsenal two types
Q!,the most comprehensive services offered at
the Beaches designed to alert you, -the con-
cerned homeowner, to any potential hazards
or breakdowns before they happen!
The first is a Safety Inspection, which is a
general, comprehensive inspection of your
system and is free to all Silver Club Instant Air
members. The second is a Super Tune-Up,
which is not only a safety inspection but also
a thorough cleaning of your system. It
includes a cleaning of the blower wheel,
blower housing and the evaporator coil. And

xed Fast. Fixed Right@," the comfort specialists at Emory Instant
h are dedicated to providing Beaches customers top-notch serv-
are owners Eddy and Dee.
something Instant Air added to its Super
Tune-Up just this year it also includes an
inspection of ductwvork for any potential air
leaks. The Super Tune-Up is free to all Gold
Club Instant Air members.
"Instant Air, like all businesses, is always
striving to improve and grow," said Eddy.
"That's why we added the inspection of the
ductwork to our Super Tune-Up, not to men-
tion the fact that all homes will lose 20 to 40
percent of conditioned air due to improperly
sealed ductwork."
Eddy also said that in an effort to better
serve their clients and Club Members Instant
Air has added an exclusive after-hours secret
service number. When asked what it was Eddy
said with a smile, "If I told you then it would-
n't be 'secret' anymore!" But he did say that
it's exclusive to Club Instant Air (CIA) mem-
bers and that if they ever did have a challenge
with their systems'after hours, on weekends
or holidays,' all they have to do is call the
secret number to talk to live person,
24/7/365.
Stay tuned for the plans Instant Air has for
the new year. But for right now Eddy and Dee
are enjoying the season and want you to have
a,.trouble- and,w,orry-free, holiday season. And
thev wish you a safe and healthy Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
Instant Air is located at 1198 Mlayport Rd.,
