Parents get
way to eye
new drivers
by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The St. Johns County
Sheriff's Office launched a pro-
gram this week that will enable
parents to extend a watchful
eye over their young drivers.
S.T.O.P.P.E.D., or Sheriffs
Telling Our Parents and
Promoting Educated Drivers, is
a program that allows parents
to register the vehicles of their
teen drivers so that they can be
notified when, where and why
the young driver is stopped by
a police officer.
"I think it's going to be very
popular because it just
makes, perfect sense," Sheriff
David Shoar said in a tele-
phone interview Tuesday.
For parents, it means finding
out about a traffic ticket before
all those fliers and pamphlets
about driving school arrive in
the mail.
"We're finding most
teenagers do not go home and
tell mom and dad that they got
stopped," Shoar said.
It also means being immedi-
ately notified through the sher-
iff's dispatch office if their
child is in an accident.
Each year more than 3,000
drivers between. .:.6_.,ai .. '21
years old die in the United
States as a result of car crashes,
according to the National
Highway Safety Traffic
Administration.
In St. Johns County, young
drivers- -represent 3 percent of
all drivers in fatal crashes and
23 percent of all drivers
involved in personal injury
automobile crashes, according
to the St. Johns County
Sheriffs Office...
Like the more in-depth driv-
ers education program that
began over the summer, Shoar
said, he started this program to
help reduce the number of
teens involved in accidents.
"I'll be signing my daughter
up for it," he said Tuesday.
Shoar said the program is not
unique. Other law enforcement
agencies throughout the coun-
try have used similar programs.
St. Johns County's program
is completely voluntary for par-
ents and is for drivers younger
than 18.

Tree-shopping season starts
S L.. JAURA FOWLER
S STAFF~J~, WRITER
TodayI- the day after
Thanrksgiving is consid-
ered' the biggest shopping
day of the year.
.It's also,when business
really begins to pick up on
Christmas tree lots, which
began to pop up as early as
the end of last week.
Severt's Fraser Firs, on the
corner of County Road 210
and State Road AlA in
Ponte Vedra Beach, set up
its red and white striped
tent Monday, after receiving
a surprisingly early ship-
ment of trees from North
Carolina on Saturday.
"We did start a little bit
early [this year]," said Adam
Graham, who works at the
Christmas tree lot.
"But we like to get started
before everybody else."'
Severt's is perhaps the
earliest tree lot to open in
Ponte Vedra and is likely to
be one of only a few places
where Christmas trees will
be sold in Ponte Vedra.
Trees at the lot range
from "table top" specimens,
which are only a few feet
tall, to Fraser firs that reach
12 feet in height.
Prices typically range by
size, from about $20 to
$200, depending on the size
and type of tree.
The Fraser firs are the
most popular, according to
Kevin Varnadoe, who runs
the Ponte Vedra lot as well
as several others through-
out Jacksonville.
Varnadoe said the current

Teens attending Nease High
School next year will be able to
sleep in an extra hour and a
half on 15 days during the
school year thanks to a new
schedule approved this week
by the St. Johns County School
Board.
School will start
at Nease at 10 a.m.
on those 15 days.
In addition,
Landrum Middle
School students
will have early
release on the
same 15 days -
\V e d n es da y s ,
scheduled about
every other week
throughout the !
school year.
The changes, Bill Fe
approved by the
School Board Tuesday evening,
are designed to give. teachers at
middle schools and high
schools extra time for training
and developimefi,' 'just as
teachers at the county's ele-
mentary schools already have.
The new pla.}, makes no
change in the. "ekisiiig early

rather than 8:30 a.mi. at 'Nease
under the new early
release/late start schedule.
The other high schools in
the School Distfri-t will'.have
similar late starts, although
exact times may differ.
Landrum students will be
dismissed at 2 p.m. rather than
3:30 p.m. on those days, as
will students at the other five
middle schools in the School
District.
The plan "will provide 15.

Superintendent
Joseph Joyner.
SBill Fehling of
"Ponte Vedra Beach,
School Board mem-
hling ber in District 4,
said Wednesday
that the 22.5 hours of teacher
development time will be
made up by adding five .min-
utes to each school day .and
eliminating four existing,, two-
hour early release days..
The extra five minutes for
each of the 180 school days
totals .15 hours. Adding the
eight hours by eliminating the
four early, releases brings *the
total to 23 .hours ,added back
into the school schedule'.?"'
"It's a wash," he said of the
time adjustments.

just last weekend.
Sometimes when it snows
at the farms where the trees
are harvested, tightly
packed snow can be found
in the trees when they
reach Florida, Varnadoe
said.
Workers may occasionally
be found in the middle of a
snowball fight when that
occurs, he said.
Graham said business
over this week has been
slow but steady. Things will
really kick into gear this
weekend and will stay con-
stant for three to four
weeks, he said.
Budding scientists head to regionals
by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
Twenty Landrum Middle
School students who entered
the school's science fair are
advancing to the River Region
East competition for St. Johns
County' schools.
Awards were given Monday
in the Landrum science fair,
which drew about 300 partici-
pants.
"We have many exceptional,
really absolutely wonderful
projects," said science teacher
Helen Seymour, in her fifth
year of coordinating the
Landrum fair.
"Mark Lewis, from the [St.
Johns] county [School District]
office, came by. His comment
was if every school could just
interest their children in doing
more of the science fair stuff,
they would be able to get a bet-
ter understanding of the
nature of science, which is like
a fourth of the FCAT require-
ments," she said.
"They really want the kids
to learn about the scientific
process. And in doing these
projects, they work through
that and learn a lot, a lot, a lot
of things."
The students who are
advancing include 14 individ-
ual projects and six team mem-
bers.
The regional portion of the
annual competition will be
Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at the First
Coast Technical Institute in St.
Augustine.
The 2007 State Science and
Engineering Fair finals will be
April 11 to April 13 at Florida
Gulf Coast University at Ft.
Myers.
Seymour said this year's sci-
ence fair was bigger and better
and buffered by volunteers
from the community, includ-
ing 35 judges.
"It's been a real concerted
effort from the whole commu-
nity'. I couldn't do it without
them," said Seymour, who sin-
gled out Dr. Nancy Yurko, dean
of Liberal Arts on FCCJ's South
Campus, for her support.
The Landrum students who
advanced either won or fin-
ished second in their cate-
gories. A list of those advanc-
ing to the regionals, and the
category and title of their proj-
ects, are as follows:

Mayport Road overlay
plan is still urged
Limited staff in the coun-
try's planning and develop-
ment department is slowing
development of an overlay
district on Mayport Road, but
the Mlayport Waterfront
Partnership has decided to
submit a tweaked proposal to
keep the issue active.
The Maypoit Waterfront
Partnership is trying to estab-
lish an overlay district to cre-
ate a uniform set of zoning
laws and continuity along
Nlayport Road, according to
Edward Lukacopic, the part-
nershi'p program manager
Both the city of Jacksonville
and the city of Atlantic Beach
would have to approve such a
district before it could be
used.
Because the process has
been slowed, Lukacovic sug-
gested that the partnership
continue to move forward on
its own and submit a propos-
al that a committee drafted -
basically adopting most of
Atlantic -Beach's regulations.
The draft was tweaked to
meet some of Jacksonville's
codes as well, he said.
The committee was not sure

Drivers: Parents get mail notification
Late Start: 'It's a wash'
Continued from A-1
To register a young driver's'
vehicle, parents must fill out -a
form which is available at area-
schools,' online or at the
Sheriffs Office in the Ponte
Vedra annex, just west of State
Road A1A on Palm Valley
Road.
*When a form is submitted,
;parents receive a sticker to
-place in the windshield that
will signal police officers to fill
out and send in the mail a
notification card.,
The card explains the time
and location of the stop, the
driver's name and number of
passengers, the reason for the
stop and whether 'any traffic
tickets were issued.
The sticker does not give
police officers the right to stop_
a vehicle arbitrarily, Shoar said
Tuesday.
/ Parents can obtain a registra-
tion form or learn more about
the program .on the She&iffs

To the editor:
As one of many concerned
residents of Neptune Beach, I
want to urge everyone to join us
on Nov. 30 at 6:30 at the
Neptune Beach City Hall to
show Wal-Mart we say NO to
their big-box store and tell local
officials we want them to reject
any compromise deal that
brings the unwanted super cen-
ter to our community.
A 24-hour destination store is
far too intense and would gen-
erate excessive noise and over-
whelming traffic on our already
congested roads. There are also
the environmental issues and
concerns caused by parking lot
rain storm run off and excessive
water and sewer usage, not to
mention increased crime. We
do not want property values
and the quality of living
decreasing, while taxes increase,
due to a big-box store being
constructed on the proposed
Atlantic Boulevard site in our
neighborhood. This type of
store does not fit in with our
"bedroom community" and the
reason we chose to live here.
.We need appropriately scaled
businesses that compliment our
small town charm. Please join
your "island" neighbors on the
30th to show Wal-Mart this
fight is not over.

Library needs upgrade
At 25,450 square feet, the Beaches Branch Library is less
than half the size of another nearby facility. It also has less
than half the computers of a neighboring library and a
much smaller budget for part time library employees.
Yet more than a quarter of a million visitors came to the
Third Street library during the first nine months of this year
that's better than 80 percent of the visitors that went to
the newer, better equipped branches nearby.
The numbers, all of which were furnished by the
Jacksonville library system, make it clear that the 20-year-
old Beaches branch needs attention now. The Beaches
Branch was a great addition to our community when it
opened in 1986 replacing a library that was literally
crammed into borrowed space in Jacksonville Beach's for-
mer community center.
The Beaches has grown tremendously since then and
many things have changed.
In 1986, the only surfing being done at the Beaches was
offshore. Now library patrons clamor for computer space to,
surf the Internet.
As the president of the Friends of the Library has said, "lit-
eracy today comes in many forms."
Another thing which was changed since 1986 is the
amount of tax revenue that flows from here to the county.
The inequities continue to grow between what the Beaches,
with its rapidly appreciating tax base, pay into county cof-
fers and what is returned here in county, expenditures.
Some of that revenue should be returned now to improve
the library, a county facility, so that it can adequately serve
the Beaches. Many volunteers work hard to make the library
a key asset for the community. But it is past time for the
county to ante up funds to improve the aging, slightly shab-
by and very inadequate facility
t was a picture-perfect day
with a cloudless sky, a warm,
gentle breeze and bright sun-
shine. My vehicle was front and
center as the Mayport Ferry left
the dock at Fort George Island. I
felt as if my van was gliding
across the water on its own.
Seagulls called from overhead as
the ferry shared the river with
pleasure boats and let Skis.'After
completing my shopping in
Atlantic Beach, I took my place
in the line of other vehicles and
waited for the return trip.
My fellow passengers includ-
ed several carloads of people
headed to a wedding on Amelia
Island. As they dashed between'
vehicles, filled with anticipation
for the upcoming nuptials, I
had no doubt this brief ride on
the ferry contributed to the
excitement of the day and
would be included in their
memories of it.
A family visiting our area
from the Midwest also enjoyed
. the short excursion.
They snapped photographs to
preserve the moment as their
children giggled and chattered
excitedly, watching the boats
and seabirds go past.
The Mayport Ferry has been
in operation since 1948, carry-
ing visitors and locals alike
between Fort George Island and
Mayport Village. But now it

Suggested ways to prevent

using a tax increment to finance
it or turning to the state of
Florida for assistance.
For $3.25 per vehicle, passen-
gers enjoy a short but memo-
rable ride across the St. Johns
River. I believe people would be
willing to endure a slight
increase in the fare if it meant
preserving this important land-
mark.
Traveling to Atlantic Beach
on the Mayport Ferry is one of
my favorite things to do. It's a
lovely trip from Fernandina
Beach down Heckscher Drive to
the ferry.
Passing by the sea-oat-cov-
ered dunes of Big and Little
Talbot islands, one gets a sense
of Old Florida, the way it was
,,before .developers, dim iisl.d
its beauty. .i:, ,_
When my son and his girl-
friend recently visited, we all
enjoyed our ferry ride, taking
pictures to remember the day.
Several other photographs were
taken on that same trip, by fam-
ilies visitingg our area from far
and near.
I hope a way can be found to
keep the ferry running so more
memories can be made aboard
it. And if contributing to.vaca-
tion snapshots of visiting fami-
lies doesn't seem a valid enough
reason, maybe those in charge
should remember that the ferry
also brings important tourist
dollars to both sides of the St.
Johns.

To the editor:
It seems everyone has their
opinion of what has hap-
pened regarding the FHSAA
sanctions against the Nease
High School football pro-
gram. These opinions, howev-
er, cannot be based on facts
because everyone involved
has been "silenced" for one
reason or another.
The superintendent has
silenced the principal; who
has subsequently silenced the
Booster Club; and the lawyers
have silenced their clients,
the coaches'.
The FHSAA Web site has
been the only source of infor-
mation, and what is stated
there could use some explana-
tion. An athlete was induced
to enroll after he was
enrolled? The people
involved Oiave not been
allowed to present their story,
and I know there is one.
As a result, much has been
written about Nease's football
program without the facts
getting in the way. The opin-
ions of various local' coaches
that have been defeated by
Nease (e.g., St. Augustine,
Ridgeview) have been print-
ed. Of course, in their minds
the only way they could have
been beaten was if Nease had
violated the rules.
So what do I know? I know
Nease's secret to success is the
kids. Ponte Vedra is fortunate
to have two youth football
programs, Pop Warner and
the Jr. Development Program.
These programs have over
300 kids participating. Nease's
football players largely come
from these programs, not
from transfers. As a former Jr.
Development coach, I know
first hand that we have 19
kids that are playing in the
Nease program and Pop
Warner has many as well.
[ also know that it's not the
weight room that makes the
team; it's the player that uses
the weight room. These kids
work hard, spending many
early morning summer hours
in the weight room.
I also know it's the volun-
teers that help make Nease
successful. It's the many thou-
sands of volunteer hours that
parents put in behind the
scenes to make the program
run. Those selling T-shirts and
working in the concessions
stand help bring in money to
pay for uniforms.
It's all those that painted
the stadium last summer and
those that help with the
games. It's all the fathers that
volunteer their time to coach
in the youth leagues as well as
on the Nease team.
The two Nease coaches
released both [have] sons on
the team. I know these coach-
es, and they would never
jeopardize the success of their
own son's team by doing
something that they under-
stood to be against thie rules.
So, it seems that I know a
lot more than I thought.

I'm hot
for chili
O ur weather's getting
chilly, so more chili
pots are steaming. It
was seasonally appropriate,
then, that I was asked recently
to be the judge for a chili
cook-off contest held at the
Jacksonville Beach Women's
Club by the Awakening Heart
Ministries (AHlM), a local reli-
gious group.
One of my main qualifica-
tions for such a function is that,
whenever I cook for others,
they always pray before they
eat. Another reason for having
me as the judge is that I truly
like Chili. I spent a week there
once and thought the capital,
Santiago, was a very nice city.
Despite my outstanding cre-
dentials, I had difficulty decid-
ing on the winning entry. Of
course, each 'sample was in a
separate dish. I believe if they
were all dumped in one dish, it
would have been even harder to
pick the winner. Naturally, each
dish was numbered, no name
shown. That way, I wouldn't
know whose entry it was and
thereby be able4to- determine
who I should sue if I got sick.
No, seriously, all the samples
were delicious, sol was stumped
about designating the one. to
get the blue ribbon.
I considered just counting the
beans in each bowl, because I
love. beans. Then again,, that
.wo.ld .aot have: "bean". f4ir.
Another approach was to-select
the chili that generated the
loudest burp. 1I discarded that
idea -since one of the cooks
might have an advantage, hav-
ing been b6rn in Brussels or
some other place in Belchin.
Not to be too flippant, I con-
fess that, in the end, I relied
completely on my taste buds,
such as they are. I was pleased
to note that no one apparently
had used some weird ingredi-
ents that have found their way
into chili recipes over the years;
e.g., chocolate, peanut butter,
pineapple, coffee, honey, and so
on. (Aaaargh!)
Members of the group obvi-
ously value honesty and fair-
ness. I would bet my Bible that
nobody pulled a gag which I
heard surfaced in another chili
contest. The (im)practical joker
entered a pot of store-bought,
canned chili, and the entry won
first prize! I'm confident that no
fragments of can labels' were
found in any of the AHM chili
pots.
No doubt, also, the attendees
of the AHlM affair had their
hunger happily awakened by
the chili served. It's been hap-
pening for ages. Allegedly, the
last words of Kit Carson, fron-
tiersman, were, "Wish I had
time for just one more bowl of
chili." Hey, maybe there's chili
in Heaven.

Help defeat retailing Goliath in NB
To the editor:
What's the point of a non-
binding mediation Nov.
30th? Does anyone seriously
think Wal-Mart is going to
give in and modify their
SuperCenter application to
bring it within NB's ordi-
nances regarding scale, bulk
and mass? Or that the NBW
City Council will concede
that failed Traffic
Concurrency no longer mat-
ters?
Their request for a media-
tion after their application for
. a SuperCenter ,in, -Neptune
Beach was rejected seems
more like an attempt at
intimidation by the land-
owners and Wal-Mart. They
offer us an "opportunity" to
avoid their $40 million law-
suit and it only requires that
we abandon the city ordi-
nances that were designed to
serve the community as a
whole to give permission for
unfettered development.
What part of "NO" don't they
get? NB's Planning and
Development Review Board
said "NO" for sound legal rea-
sons. The majority of the
City Council has served the
best interests of their commu-
nity well and said "NO" for
sound legal reasons.
If they haven't figured it
out yet, Wal-Mart should be
informed that the beaches
community also is NOT indif-
ferent to their tactics. Wal-
Mart has been told "We will
not be intimidated". I guess
they need to hear it again!
WAKE UP WAL-MART YOU
JUST DON'T FIT HERE AT
THE BEACH
Let's use this "opportunity"
that Wal-Mart themselves
have created to send THEM a
message loud and clear and
unmistakable. Just imagine:
ALL the people that care
about their quality of life here
at the Beaches RALLYing in
the parking lot at NB City
Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday
NOV. 30, just before the
Public Hearing portion of the
mediation starts at 7 p.m .
We all may not get to address
the' mediator, but what a
'grand opportunity for ALL of
us to show Wal-Mart how we
feel about their plans. The
more people that attend the
rally, the more impressive the
message! TV coverage will
help get the message out that
the Beaches are fighting back.'
Over 300 small towns in

Goliath. We can too.

Program to teach tol,*r-ance is wrong
To the editor:
I read your paper's article
titled 'MIX IT UP... at Mayport
Middle' in the Nov. 17, 2006
Beaches Leader with great
interest.
It is outrageous that school
officials believe that they
have the power to order chil-
dren to have lunch with those
who are not in their social cir-
cle.
* It is laughable beyond
measure that they believe that,
ordering children to have
lunch with other children will
defeat the problem of bully-
ing in schools. Just look at
this logically.
People with 'power, i.e.
school officials, compel peo-
ple without power, i.e. school-
children, to eat lunch with
those with whom they other-
wise would not choose to eat.
And this show of brute force
by school administrators issu-
ing mandates, as suit their
whimsy, is supposed to teach
children NOT to engage in
bullying, in precisely what
way?
The presence of uniformed
naval personnel at this event
is merely more evidence of its
essentially totalitarian flavor.
Dictators such as Hitler. to
, Stalin to Saddam have used
the child's admiration of uni-
formed personnel as a means
to compel 'right thinking.'
Simply put, the decisions of
children concerning whom
.they wish to associate with
are theirs alone, subject only
to parental approval. The
opinions of children about
others are theirs alone, as :is
their right in -our allegedly
free society.
If there is a problem with
physical assault in the. school,
then remove the wrongdoers,
place them in' schools for dis-.
cipline problems or juvenile
prisons as needed.
If 'there is a problem with,
students verbally harassing
others, there are legal protec-
tions all Americans (including
children) enjoy regarding a
safe workplace, and there are
more traditional means of.
punishing harassment.
Suspensions, parental con-
ferences, forcing, the wrong-
doer to stay after school, to
attend special counseling, or
even to spend' lunch and
recess away from his peers
and under special supervision
are all traditional means of
dealing with the student who
harasses others.
There, is no need for would-
be commissars to punish
'wrong thinking.'
All children, are entitled to
respect from each other arid
from school personnel. They
are entitled to be free from
bullying, and : from other
forms of harassment.
They, however, are entitled
to associate freely with those
with whom they wish to asso-
ciate, even if their, choices are
not politically cbrrect, with-
out those decisions being
mikromanaged by, taxpayer,
financed busybodies,.
Toss this totalitarian 'Mix It
Up Day" on the scrap heap of,
history, along with the
remains of the Berlin- Wall'
and the Lenin Statues..

Vocal criticism of some Nease
fans in the stands must stop
as it is unfair to student athletes
To the editor:
I would like to express my concern over the
behavior of some fans at Nease football games.
For the most part, Nease has wonderful fans
.that come out and support the players, cheer-
ing them on no matter what. The school is
lucky to have such enthusiastic people there
week after week who love to watch the team
play., :
Unfortunately, there are a few people in the
stands that ruin the games for others with their
judgmental comments and negativity. Many of
the players' families and friends have noticed a
couple of people that feel it necessary to tear
apart players' performances. Those boys are out
on the field playing a sport they love. Not only
are these boys athletes, but they are students
who have other responsibilities. These young
mehn put a, lot oiln the line to play football
including physical injury.
In the Merritt Island game, three players were
hurt and more have been hurt in practice and
previous games during the season. Each and
every player has tremendous dedication to
their team and coaches.. Itis so horrible to hear
people in the stands make disparaging com-
ments about the boys if they do something the
slightest bit wrong. j' .. I ,
I imagine those boys feel pretty awful when
they make mistakes out there in front of all the
people that come to watch them. Why is is
that those select few "fans" must announce to.
everyone seated around them the child's mis-
take and proceed to make critical remarks?;
What self-righteous person thinks that player's
friends and family want to hear'other people
talk that way about them and criticize the team
True or False:
Rats carry as many as ten diseases.
as a whole?
We must all keep in mind while Nease has an
'outstanding football team, it is still a group of
high school boys that are not perfect.
These few individuals that have been causing
distress to players' friends and families often do
not themselves have children on the team. I
would like these people to think how they
would' feel if a group of people came and
watched their children for three hours all the
while passing condescending remarks about
their flaws. I find it very discouraging that
these "people are so self-centered and unkind
that they can't think that perhaps their nega-
tivity is unwanted. The boys are fighting to win
on the fields. Your abuse in the stands in
uncalled for and mean-spirited. Those of you
that, are causing a problem, I ask you two
things: First, what are you .so insecure about
that the remedy is to come to a high school
football game and pass judgment on 15 to 18-
year-olds? Second, if a group of players' families
can guess your identify just from hearing about
your ugly running narration of the game from
someone having the bad luck to sit within
earshot of you, isn't it time to direct your focus
elsewhere?
To the fans. who are there every game sup-
porting our boys, we thank you. You are a huge
support of the team and the boys are truly
lucky to have that. To the other few who like
to,cut down the players, there is an old saying:
If you don't have anything nice to say don't say
anything at all.

Codes violations rise in JB,'
by LIZA MITCHELL
STAFF WRITER
Jacksonville Beach code
inspectors are working to
reduce the number of viola-
tions by educating the com-
munity about the city's poli-.
cies regarding junk, Work per-
mits and tree removal.
Code Inspector Debbie
White said people are often
unaware that canvas carports,
canopies and "Pod" portable
storage containers on their
property are prohibited.
White said one of the most
common violations includes
junk ranging from aban-
doned, inoperable or partially
dismantled vehicles, and nui-
sances classified as junk,
trash, debris or other unsight-
ly properties.
Vehicles, whether or not
they are operational, are also
required to have a' valid tag
affixed to the vehicle. Signs,
however, are prohibited' by
the city's Land Development
Code.
White said vehicles are
tagged with an orange sticker
to notify owners of a violation
and a time frame to correct
the infraction before it 'is
towed at the owner's expense.
Parking and storage of
heavy vehicles such, as,
campers, .motor homes, large
commercial trucks and boats
over 20' in length on residen-
tial property also violates city
code.
White said permits are
required to perform work on
structures including building,
electrical, plumbing, mechan-
ical, sign installation, 'addi-
tions, fences, sheds, windows,
driveways, brick pavers and
doors.
A stop work order requires
all work to cease until the nec-
essary permits are obtained.
Property owners are also cited
for completing work that was
not included in the permit.,
Zoning violations such as
building too close to property,
lines, exceeding lot coverage,
renting of illegal' dwelling
units and operating a business
in residential district are con-
sidered trouble areas, city
staffers said.
Property owners can also be
cited for lack of maintenance,
.unsafe conditions and over-
grown vegetation in both' resi-
dential and commercial, dis-
tricts.
Permits are required before
a tree can be removed. Only
pine trees, palms and those
identified on 'a, list off nui-
sance trees can be removed
without a permit. Property
owners that remove protected
trees with a permit still must'
meet the city's mitigation
requirement.
Questions about any Code
Enforcement issues can be
directed to the Planning
Department at 247-6232 from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday. City Hall is

After twice being denied permission to expand, Lynch's Irish
Pub finally gained approval to add to its lacksonville Beach
location.
The city's Board of Adjustment Tuesday granted a variance
for the pub at 514 1st Street North to add 1,500-square-feet in
lieu of the five required parking spaces.
General Manager Keith Doherty said the space will not
increase the pub's occupancy.
In the variance application, the size of the bathrooms and
the proximity of the dry storage area to a gas water heater were
listed as the reason for the variance.
"The space is much needed," Doherty said Wednesday. "It
will give us a chance to bring our bathrooms up to code. It will
be nice to have a real office. My office consists of a table at the
back door."
BOA member Keith Hall cast the sole vote against the vari-
ance, claiming that the expansion would increase the lot cov-
erage by 45 percent.
Jud Spence and Thad Moseley, who both own property in the
Central Business District, urged the board to deny the request
because public parking is at a premium, especially in the down-
town area.
Doherty said he believes the request was granted because the
expansion would not add to the patronage.
"I've not known of too many people who want to drink in
the toilet," he said. "It's not new construction. It is what it is."
A prior request to add 4,000-square-feet to construct new
restroom facilities with handicapped access, dry storage, office
and cooler space was denied because the proposal also includ-
ed an additional 2,100-square-feet of pub space to install a
third bar and add four new pool tables.
According to the city's guidelines, BOA members must deter-
mine if a variance request meets certain criteria for approval,
including the nature of the hardship.
The burden of proof is on the applicant to demonstrate the
hardship.
Variances are not permitted for expansions to existing busi-
nesses that are "manifestly designed to attract new customers,"
according to city code.

Uniform medians for
Mayport Road redo
The Mayport Waterfront
Partnership decided Tuesday to
adopt the same design plan as
Atlantic Beach for landscaping
medians along Mayport Road
to maintain uniformity.
There were three concepts
proposed for the medians
planned for the road, which
run through both 'Atlantic
Beach and a portion of
Jacksonville where the part-
nership has responsibility.
The city of Atlantic Beach
opted for a combination of two
of the concepts and the part-
nership decided to follow suit:
so that the look will be consis-
tent.
The medians will, have
stamped concrete, perennial
pea for the ground and
Medjool palms alternating
with crepe myrtle and sabal
palms, according to Rick
Carper, Atlantic Beach public
works director.
The work will begin In June
or July after it has been
approved& by the state
Department of Transportation,
the city of Jacksonville and the
city of Atlantic Beach, accord-
ing to Carper.
Affordable housing is
essential to Beaches
Saving affordable housing
and financial counseling are'
"part of the fabric" that makes
a good community, according
to Carolyn Ettlinger, executive
director qf the Housing
Partnership of Northeast
Florida.
.Ettlinger spoke at a Beaches
Business Association' meeting
Monday about the various pro-
grams the partnership offers to
the community and encour-'
aged business involvement.
The partnership was estab-
lished 14 years ago to address.
the broad spectrum of housing
needs in Duval County,
Ettlinger said.
It now offers several different
services to benefit the commu-
nity such as a neighborhood
rehabilitation, program, a
home ownership center which
offers, financial and credit'
counseling, a community
development program and
multi-family housirig.
Ettlinger encouraged busi-
nesses to participate in team-
building events such as "Paint
the Town," where multiple
groups consisting of 10 to 15
people help with the housing
repairs for a week in a specific
community each year.
Because the partnership is a
diverse reflection of people
from many areas of the
Jacksonville. Ettlinger urged
more businesses to get
involved through volunteering
and help the community as a
whole from 2000-2005 and
had managed country clubs
and hotels in North America
and Western Europe earlier in
his career.

Churches sponsoring basketball, cheerleading
.by KATHY NICOLETTI
S STAFF Il'RITER
San Pablo Baptist Church is
joining with Neptune Baptist
Church' to sponsor the 2007
season of Upward Basketball
and Cheerleading.
"The San Pablo partnership
will enable us to reach out to a
greater populace (not only the
church family but the Vest
Beaches area as .well)," said.
Barry Chandler, the Upward
.League Commissioner from
Neptune Baptist Church.
In 2006, the second year for
Upward Basketball and
Cheerleading at the beach,
about 180 children from first
through eighth grade partici-
pated, said Chandler.
"San Pablo is partnering with
Neptune Baptist and looking to
starting our own league in the
future," said Claude Ingle, San
Pablo's Coordinator for the.
faith-based sports program.
The nationally recognized
program emphasizes Biblical
teachings and Christian values
along with sports skills.
"It's not just about basket-
ball, it's about growing God's
kingdom," said Chandler.
Through Upward Basketball
and Cheerleading. we'vee ad
several decision's tor ( Chrst.'
". Our follow-up with the fam-
ilies encourages involvement-
with a church or children's
ministry program, said
Chandler.
"It's not about building the
membership at Neptune
Baptist or San Pablo," he said.
Age-appropriate devotional
and Bible verses are part oft
weekly practice session for
Upward Basketball or
Cheerleading.
Positive recognition is given
to the children for demonstrat-
ing Christian values.
pward is -an all-inclusive
program that places every chil-
dren on team and gives each
child equal playing time,
regardless of their experience
or skill level.
Player evaluations for
Upward Basketball and
Cheerleading will be from 6 to
8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 7 and
14 at the Boys and Girls Club
at 820 N. 20th Avenue in
lacksonville Beach.
The registration fee until
Dec. 18 is $75 and is $85 after-
wards. The deadline for regis-
tration is January 8.
The first game of the season
is scheduled for Feb. 4. All
games are held on Sundays at
Fletcher Senior High School
beginning at about noon.
, Coaches are still needed.
Volunteer coaches who are not
members of either church will
be partnered with a coach from
one of the churches, said
Chandler.'
An Upward Flag Football
team is the the planning
stages. Details are not available
yet a possible starting date is
spring 2007, he said.

Gators fans: Your
team isn't the sec-
ond best college football
team in the county. Even
beating Arkansas in the SEC
title game won't make it so.
There's no point going to the
BCS Championship Game
only to get waxed by Ohio
State. If the Gators take the
SEC crown, settle for the
Sugar Bowl and a chance to
win.
Speaking of college foot-
ball, have to laugh at all
the "experts" who went
through great pains to
explain why Rutgers
deserved a shot at the
national title if they fin-
ished unbeaten. Yeah,
how'd that work out?
Baseball waits too long to,.
announce it's end-of-season
award winners. Most fans
have already moved on to
the saturation of college and
pro football as well as the
start of the college basketball
season. WVant proof? Quick,

test tonight in Daytona
Seabreeze. While the -
Sandcrabs finished second to

much of which is head-
*quartered in New York, can
be very parochial at times.
Before the Giants-Jaguars
game Monday night, most
of the focus was on how
injuries have depleted the
Giants.. No mention was
made of missing Jaguars
Greg Jones, Mike Peterson.

Spurrier to Miami? It's a
tantalizing possibility
because of the perception
that Steve Superior would
love'the chance to be college
football king of Florida once
again.
Oscar de la Hoya appar-
ently believes he needs one
last great bout to cement
his legacy. That's why last
week he sighed to fight
welterweight champ Floyd
Mayweather, Jr. It's a huge
risk for de la Hoya --
Mayweather is considered
the best pound-for-pound
fighter on the planet but
the May 5 bout promises to
be a big boost for a sport
that lately has been sagging
on the ropes like a punch-
drunk contender;
Isn't it about time the Pro
Football Hall of Fame conve-
niently "misplaces" O.J.
Simpson's bust? Great player
on the gridiron, deplorable
human being in every other
regard. Thank goodness his
ill-fated book, "If I Did It"
will never hit shelves.
Ironic that the Jaguars
are looking forward to this
weekend's trip to Buffalo as
a chance to experience

Playoff game
could end up
a shootout of
potent aerial
attack teams
By ROBERT DeANGELO
SPORTS EDITOR
Is the Nease defense ready
for "Little Tebow?"
That's the nicknamegiven.
Seabreeze quarterback Troy
Dannehower in the Daytona
area.4 he 6-foot, 210-pound
junior has earned the moniker
this season with 1,384 yards
and 14 touchdowns through
the air, plus 675 yards and
seven TDs on the ground.
That type of production has
earned comparisons to former
Nease QB Tim Tebow,' who
lifted the Panthers to last
year's Class 4A state champi-
onship.
Dannehower led the
Sandcrabs to a 28-6 -ictory
over Gainesville Eastside last
week in the Region 2 semifi-
nals. He went,8-of-9 for 89
yards and two touchdowns,
throwing to five different
receivers and also racked up
38 yards and a score on seven
cares.
Seabreeze will no doubt test
the Panthers secondary Friday
night a game plan that
may prove costly with Div. I-
bound cornerbacks Mario
Butler and Justin Grant,
among others, patrolling tile
defensive backfield.
Grant, the 6-foot, 170-
pound transfer from Ribault,
has nine interceptions this
season including four run
back for touchdowns. Earlier
this season the senior verbally
committed to the University
of Florida.
Opposite Grant is the 6'2",
185-pound Butler who plays
epprtuni5tic. ,deten.se and Jisi'
threat as one of the Panthers
kick returners.
Throw into the mix Nease
defensive back Hunter Bates,
who had a timely pick in last
week's 49-20 victory over
Merritt Island, and strong
safety Jared McNaught who
caused a crucial Mustangs'
fumble at the Nease 1, and it's,
easy to see why passing
against the Panthers is a tricky
proposition.
Still, that's been the
Sandcrabs' modus operandi
throughout the season and it
doesn't look to change at
Panther Stadium.
"When we talk about bal-
ance on offense here, we don't
mean it like most programs
do," Seabreeze head coach
Marc Beach told the Daytona
Beach News-Journal last week.
V'We're not referring to the
run-pass balance, we're talking
about balancing the passing
game to get everybody
involved."
Among the Seabreeze play-
ers to, watch are 5'10", 150-
pound running back LeRoy
Hueston, who is adept at
catching screen passes and has

Pnolo Dy ROB DeANGELO
Panthers defensive back Justin Grant, above during the season-opener against Memphis University School, could be a key player
in Friday night's regional final against Daytona Seabreeze. Grant has picked off nine passes this season, returning four for TDs.
1,111 yards of total offense-
this season, and 6'3" wide
receiver Rashad Hall; who is a
favorite deep threat for
Dannehower.
Of course, even a prolific
passing attack has to try to
keep pace with Nease's offen-
sive juggernaut. Coach Craig
Howard's spread offense has
demonstrated remarkable flex-,
ibility this season. Against
Sanford Seminole Sept. 8, the
Panthers began with 16 con-
secutive passes en route to a
48-0 victory. A week later, it
was 10 straight runs to open
the ballgame on their way to
a 49-1,4 victory over Fleming-
Island. .
"We always want you to be
unsure what you're going to
get when you come up against
us," Howard said following
the win over Fleming Island.
"We want to show we can run
the ball and be physical or
pass the football when we
want to."
If it's a shootout Friday
night. Howard must like his
chances. The coach has said
his offensive philosophy is to
put 50 points on the board
and leave opposing defenses
gassed to the point of exhaus-
tion.
On the other hand, with
the ground-gaining ability of
Panthers quarterback Ted
Stachitas 1149 rushing yards
last week and the punishing
attack of running back Zach
Tronti, Nease could turn the
contest into a possession-type
game with clock-chewing
drives and a lower point total.
In several games during the
regular season, Howard has
opted to throw the ball and
build a substantial lead in the
first half, then get to what he
calls "Tronti time" and rely on
the ground game in the final
two quarters.
So while the Sandcrabs may
boast "Little Tebow," Nease
has Stachitas to continue
what the original Tebow start-
ed. The 6-foot. 180-pound QB
doesn't have the size of his
predecessor, but has proved an
exceptionally accurate passer
this season and is swift and
elusive when he tucks the ball
and runs.
"He's come up through the
system and was quarterback
behind Timmy," Howard said
in the preseason. "Well now
it's Ted's turn to be that same
kind of quarterback."

Stood. These really are reported
injuries, and I promise I am not
making this up.
Quarterback Brian Griese,
after having previously fallen
down in his driveway and
smashing his face, once tripped
over his dog, fell down the
stairs and sprained an ankle.
Former Jaguars punter Chris
Hanson once cut his leg with
an axe, chopping a log in the
locker room in What was sup-
posed to be a motivational
stunt. He had previously
missed time due to second
degree burns on his hands and
ankle from a fondue mishap.
And then there was the saga
of Thomas Jones, Arizona
Cardinals running back, who
" broke his hand while reaching
for the telephone.
However, the most ridiculous
excuse for missing game time
has to be from Kevin Mitchell,
former Redskins LB, who was
unable to play due to "strained
eyelids."
Baseball players seem to have
the most comical methods of
getting hurt. Former Braves'
pitcher Tom Glavine once
broke a rib while vomiting dur-
ing a team flight in 1992, and
John Smoltz once burned his
chest while ironing a shirt -
that he happened to be wearing
at the time.
Former Yankee Hall of Famer
Bill Dickey knocked himself
unconscious when he dove
into the dugout while celebrat-
ing the Yankees' winning the
pennant .
Rickey Henderson once got
frostbite, in August, when he
fell asleep while icing his ankle.
Terry Harper partially dislo-
cated his shoulder while wind-
milling a teammate home from
third base. Mark Quinn, out-
fielder for the Kansas City
Royals, cracked his ribs show-
ing his brother some kung fu
moves before the start of spring
training. Adam Eaton, pitcher,
stabbed himself in the stomach
with a knife trying to get the
shrink wrap. off of a DVD.

McDowell sustained a three-
inch gash on his hand while

It appears that the hotel

right., a sneeze caused him to
throw out his back.
Because of this Herculean
sneeze, Sosa developed back
spasms so bad that he required
epidural injections to calm this
down.
Injuries can be quite a pain
in the butt, as Tiger pitcher
Dave Rozema found out.
Teammate Kirk Gibson pulled a
locker room stool away from
Rozema, who happened to
have a glass bottle of cough
syrup in his back pocket. The
bottle crushed, the glass shards
ended up in his buttocks, and
Rozema missed his next start.
And finally in keeping with
the theme ot missed game time
for ridiculous reasons I give you
the case of Pascual Perez. The
former Atlanta Braves pitcher,
missed a scheduled start when
he got lost and couldn't find
the stadium for an Atlanta
home game.

COLUMNIST
Christmas trees
dry out quickly
Hope all of you with trop-
ical plants have taken the
steps talked about several
weeks ago so your plants are
protected.
A quick rehash: If you
have citrus and have not yet
covered the grafted area
with polyurethane foam,
sand or dirt, you'd better do
that first.
Then get your stash of
blankets, old sheets, newspa-
pers, etc. piled in a conven-
ient spot so you can hustle
to cover tender plants when
predictions for temperatures
in the 30's occur.
Tropical plants like
bougainvillea, mandevilla,
allemande, hibiscus, orchids,
poinsettias, some gingers,
newly-planted cold hardy
annuals, and some of the
more tender palms will need
protection from frosts.
However, some need protec-
tion even when the temp
drops to anything below 40.
Remember to remove the
coverings after morning ,
temperatures get above 40
or your plants will cook.
For those of you who will
be buying Christmas trees,
remember that the stands
that are providing protec-
tion for the trees with tents
or heavy tree canopy are the
best places to look.
Keeping in mind that
these trees were probably
cut back in late September,
they have been slowly dry-
ing out, so by the time they
are unwrapped here, they
are in dire need of a drink of
water.
Your best places will do
that on a daily basis, and
they will also have a chain
saw ready to make a fresh
horizontal cut across the
trunk so that when you get
the tree home, you can
either put it in a water-filled
bucket until you are ready
to take it inside, or if imme-
diately taken indoors, your
tree stand should be the
type that holds water and
you can do fill it right away.
Keeping the tree from dry-
ing out and presenting a fire
hazard is the goal.
The Cooperative
Extension Service has a cur-
rent list of U-Cut Christmas
Tree farms, so if that is your
idea, give them a call for the
locations and phone num-
bers before you head out.
Keep in mind that orce cut,
the tree will start its drying
process, so be sure and
either put it up immediately
or manage its time outside
so it gets sprayed a few
times a day with water, and
the bucket is always full
with fresh water.
Make a fresh cut to the
trunk just prior to bringing
it indoors; sap clogs the
pores preventing the uptake
of water and nutrients once
the tree is cut.
And, there is no research
that proves the addition of
sugar, or other magical
ingredients like baking soda,
vinegar, etc., etc. actually
make the tree flame retar-
dant or fresher. Just thought
I'd throw that in.
So many' folks, me includ-
ed, have resorted to fake
trees, and 1,11 tell you I was
really reluctant to go that
route. I mean, how could a
New Englander buy a fake
Christmas tree? That's about
as hypocritcal as it gets.
My tree always goes in our
family room which has a
wall of windows with full
western exposure. Within
days of putting the tree up,
needles were falling down

that evokes happy feelings,
in part because of her hus-
band's cancer and for others
to enjoy, in general.
i'-ionti is not 'your typical
afrist. Much of her work,
which is mostly abstract, is
created on a computer using
a fractal, which is a geomet-
ric formula, according to
Lidnti. Although her work is
done on a computer, Lionti
equates the process to a dif-
ferent form of painting.
Using several computer pro-
grams, Lionti is able to layer
colors and "paint with light"
as she describes it.
She inputs the formula
into the computer and cre-
ates abstract images, full of
bold color and light. Her art
feels like an ebb between
light-hearted and mysterious
- much like she does.
For example, one of her
paintings, "Glass Worlds,"
actually,looks as if the float-
ing orbs in the painting are
glowing. The effect is other-
worldly.
Perhaps that is because
many of Lionti's ideas are
inspired by her dreams.
"I get my ideas at 3 o'clock
in the morning," said Lionti,
who can't sleep on an idea
and feels compelled to work
when the thought strikes.
Oneiof her next projects
involves a sculpture that she
has seen repeatedly in a reoc-
curring dream which rotates
so she can see how it should
be made.
Her work today is often
inspired by the images and
cultures she has been sur-
rounded by in her travels.
Many of her pieces are
inspired by the water, which
she loves. For example, she
created "Bayou Mysteries"
from her memories of living
near the swamps in
Mississippi. The painting
evokes feelings of mystery
and intrigue with swirling
tendrils of dark color.
"The swamps fascinated
me," she said.
While some of her work
eludes to a more enigmatic
side of her personality,
Lionti has a playful and
quirky spirit.
She is currently creating an
"artist's environment," a
themed setting that artists
use to express ideas and
thoughts to the world. Some
artists create religious mon-
tages, for example, others,
such as Lionti take a more
humorous approach.
"When people come here,
it'll make them smile," she
said. Her goal is to create a
happy place for she and her
husband to enjoy as well as
to spread happiness to oth-
ers.
When the environment is
complete, it will include a
"wall of wisdom," full of
quotes, a geodesic sphere,
covered in glass, and toilets
converted into mosaic chairs
for the front porch.
While Lionti wants her art
to bring some deep meaning
to people, she also likes to
make it fun, she said.

A.SSOCL4TE EDITOR
.lames Bond, the dashing.
British secret agent.in Ian
Fleming's debut novel,
"Casino RoVale,"-drove a vin-
tage Bentley, gambled and
smoked heavily and uttered
politically incorrect phrases
such as "women are for recre-
ation."
The first of Fleming's 007
novels, "Casino Rovale"
(1953) is the basis for the lat-
est Bond film starring Daniel
Craig.
Unlike Bond in the film,
Bond never fires a shot or
throws a punch, in the book.
Most of the.action is relegated
to the baccarat!table, .where
007 matches witsyvith a high-
rolling Russianopeirtive "on
the brink of a financial crisis."
And despite having two kills
to his credit, the introspective
secret agent downplays his
Double-O status.
"It's not:difficult to get a
Double 0 number, if you're
prepared'to kill. people," Bond
tells his first and last true
love, Vesper Lynd in the book.
"It's nothing to be particu-
larly proud of. One does what
one is told."
This is a budding Bond,
more emotionally and physi-
cally vulnerable than in later
novels, or films, for that mat-
ter.
As much as he likes to play
the field, Bond is smitten by%
the beautiful Lynd, and the
romance has dirqpconse-
quences for both.
In the novel, Bond drives
his battleship-grey Bentley
"hard and well agid .with.an
almost sensual pla'su-e.'" '
To him, woman are like
luck, "to be softly wooed or
brutally ravaged, never pan-
dered to or pursued," the book
says.

REI17EI'ER
You just finished a
Thanksgiving dinner that was
alternately satisfying and
bloating. Now you can check
out some holiday movies that
will have the same effect on
you.
Opening this week:
"Deck the Halls" Two
neighbors iDanny DeVito and
Matthew Broderick) compete
to see who has the biggest, er,
Christmas lights. This one
looks like "Surviving Christmas
2" to me.
"Bobby" Emilio Estevez
wrote and directed this bio-
Gambling, something
Fleming admitted he was
never good at in his personal
life, is the novel's dark under-
belly.
"The grass-green base bat-
tlefield soaks up the blood of
its victims," writes Fleming
about the evil-tinged card
table.
"The scent and sweat of a
casino are nauseating at three
in the morning. The soul ero-
sion produced by high gam-
bling a compost of greed
and fear and nervous tension."
If nothing else, the reader
comes away with at least a
rudimentary knowledge of
high-stakes baccarat and
Bond's back story.
Never before "melted" by a
woman, Bond falls in love in
"Casino Royale," but is double
crossed in the end.
The emotional scar silences
his heart and strengthens his
resolve "to take on SMERSH
and hunt it down."
"The business of espionage
could be left to the white-col-
lar guys," the book concludes.
"He would go after the
threat behind the spies, the
threat that made them spy."
flick about the late Sen. Robert
Kennedy. Well-intentioned,
but it's already getting bad
buzz -- and who's dying to see
Lindsay Lohan in a bouffant?
"For Your Consideration" -
Another improv-fest from
Christopher Guest & Co. ("Best
In Show"), about some movie
actors who go crazy when their
flick is said to generate Oscar
buzz.
"Tenacious D: The Pick of
Destiny" Jack Black and Kyle
Gass do their mock-rock rou-
tine about a musical duo in
search of the Holy Grail of gui-
tar picks. Yes, folks, in today's
world, this passes for a movie
plot.

ARTS
Scholarly Sanchez exhibit now at J. Johnson
W words of a master
painter with whom I
studied: "Forget
everything you have ever
learned in art classes and put
something down on the can-
vas."
These-words came to mind
when viewing the new exhibit
of works by Yolanda Sanchez .'
at theJ. Johnson Gallery in
Jacksonville Beach.
Sanchez's exhibit opened
last week.
Beautiful shades of pink,
yellow, orange, a dab here and
there of deep green and black
lirnes running through all
these lovely colors are dis-.
played on large white canvas-
es. '
This is not what you would
expect from the scholarly
Sanchez with the impressive
educational background.
It is almost childlike and
will provoke adverse criticism
from those who enjoy only
photographic realism.
However, it took courage,
imagination, a knowledge of
color and experimentation to
create these truly original
works of art. They cannot be
copied and represent the
imagination and skill of an
artist who understands color
and is not afraid to use it.
See this exhibit through Jan.
26 at 177 4th Ave. N. Call

tion.

"Police Squad! The

comedies, see where it all
began with this hysterical 1982

'Think Unique'
1. Gift boxes come in a vari-
ety of colors, so why hide them
Under gift wrap? Use the box
itself to. create a personalized
package. Simply cut out pat-
terns in the box, such as a
snowflake, snowman, candle,
etc., depending upon the occa-
sion. Use a sharp cutting tool
like an X-acto knife. Line the
box with colored tissue paper,
and the color will show
through the cutouts you've cre-
ated.
2. Wallpaper can be used for
much more than just home
decor. With its varied color
palettes and styles, -creating
one-of-a-kind gift wrap is easy.
While more expensive than'
paper gift wrap, wallpaper can

fabric will be on hand come
next year. Or browse the rem-
nants bin for small pieces of
fabric that can form a patch-
work or wrap small gifts.
4. Other housewares items
can also be used when wrap-
ping. Use drapery tassels to tie
up gifts in lieu of ribbon. It can
make the gift look elegant and
expensive. With some drapery
tassels costing about $1.00 at a
discount store, this can be an
inexpensive touch that just
looks like a lot was spent on it.
S. Make the wrapping part of
the gift. Use decorative scarves,
hair clips, towels and similar
items.
6. Don't throw out all of
those' scraps of ribbon that
often become left over. Weave
them together so that they
cover the lid and bottom of a
gift box completely. The result
will certainly be a unique gift
wrap.
7. For,.tbose with a "Dollar
Store" nearby, browse the aisles
for other inexpensive trinkets
or ideas into thoughtful and
creative gift wrap.
8. Sometimes simple materi-
als have the most impact.
Brown postal paper stamped
with a pattern and tied off with
raffia will set gifts apart.
9. Creativity should not only
lie in the gift wrap. Think of
clever ways to present the gift

Eight ways I make my kitchen cook
Love to cook and am pretty
good at it, too. Dinner's on
the table every night at six
and no one leaves hungry.
But, what helps me most is
not the years I've spent refin-
ing my culinary skills, it's the
tools that I've built into the
kitchen that makes me the
most efficient and able to turn
out great-tasting food quickly.
See if these tips don't help
you, too.
1. Large sink. The problem
with double sinks is that few
use the double-bowl wash and
rinse method anymore.
Today, a large one bowl sink
makes the most sense. In my
kitchen, I have one extra large
bowl with a small disposal
bowl and built-in drain board.
Farm or.
2. Spice storage. For season-
ings I use daily, I attached a
wall hanger next to the stove
and put my cooking spray,
favorite spices, salt and pepper
here. I even keep a bottle of
olive oil here so it's at the
ready.
3. More refrigeration.
When people complain about
the refrigerator, it's usually
because there's not enough of
it. An often overlooked option
is the single door "all refriger-
ator" and "all freezer."
Instead of the combination
unit, I have an individual
refrigerator and freezer in my
kitchen.
With these two units, I have
a whopping 35 square feet of
space instead of the usual 25
or so square feet of space
available in a combination
refrigerator/freezer.
Best of all, I got a high-end
amount of storage with a reg-
ular.refrigerator price tag.
4. Go big. Recently I needed
a utensil holder but the ones
at the home center only held
about six items. So, I took a
spatula to my garden center to
size up a new utensil holder. I
bought a beautiful ceramic
pot to hold all my utensils.
Think about size in your
kitchen. You need items large
enough to suit your needs. If
you don't find what you need
off the rack, improvise or have
something custom made for
you. I had a giant platter cus-
tom made for me by The
Hairy Potters nvi that holds a
whole pound of cooked pasta.
Don't think custom is out of
your reach.
5. Kitchen garden. Nothing
makes your good cooking sing
like fresh herbs and vegeta-
bles. I have a kitchen garden
that I couldn't live without.
Take the time to take your
kitchen outdoors and plant
some herbs and lettuces.
Nly kitchen garden consists
of mesclun lettuce, radishes,
dill, basil, thyme, shallots,
mint, and oregano.
6. Towel bar. If you're like
me, you're always looking for
a dishtowel to handle a hot
pan or to place a wet dish on.
Instead of hooks in a cabinet
door, install a small towel rail
on your island or cabinet.
7. Quality cookware. If
you're tired of scorching your
foods, try cast iron. Funny,
but this old stand-by is now
being favored by cooks like
Emeril Lagasse.
Yes, it's extremely heavy
and that's what I don't like
about it, but it goes from'
stovetop to oven and doesn't
cost an arm and a leg. Even
simple combrnbad can be ".i
transformed from yellow
blandness to gustatory heights
with the crunchy-golden crust
cast iron makes.
8. Organization. Kitchen
organization makes every-
thing go easier. Whether it's a
cabinet over the dishwasher
where dishes can be unloaded
without walking or a well-
organized pantry, organization
will make you work less and
be more efficient in the
kitchen.
Even unsightly trashcans
can be put under the sink
with a pull-out trash can.
Pull out organizers and bas-
kets are extremely useful and
easy to retrofit into most cabi-
nets.

A kitchen garden with lettuces and herbs ready for snipping is a wonderful addition to anykitchen
and can be planted in a small amount of space. Many kinds of herbs and lettuces, radishes, and
other small salad items can be grown in many parts of the country in,the winter.
