Former St. Johns County
Commissioner Karen Stern
may have lost her seat on the
commission this year, but her
voice and influence on
regional and county issues
will far from dwindle.
Stern was appointed Nov. 7
by Gov. Jeb Bush to serve on
the Northeast Florida
Regional Council until 2009
as a gubernatorial delegate
representing St. Johns
County.
The move has the new
members on the County
Commission Republicans
Ron Sanchez and Tom Manuel
- scratching their heads.
"I'm not real happy about
it," Sanchez said in an inter-
view last week.
"I can certainly see that it
[Stern's appointment] may
cause some problems."
Manuel said he was "sur-
prised" to learn of her
appointment.
He said he intends to ask
fellow commissioners to elect
him to the-council as a dele-
gate of the County)
Commission, and',isaid I he
hopes he and Stern can work
well together.
The 35-member regional
counci-ols.,.made up "bf dele-
gates from seven counties,
among them St. Johns and
Duval counties.
The council was Qsjablishies
in 1977 with the pOrp6se' of
identifying the area's natural,
economic and social issues
and coordinating efforts to
manage these issues.
Two-thirds of the delegates
are locally elected county and
municipal officials and one-
third are gubernatorial
Karen Stern
appointees.
Stern said Tuesday that she
sees no potential problems
arising between her and the
new members of the St. Johns
County Commission.
"One of my strengths is to
be able to work with all types
of personalities," she said.
She said she would have
"no problem" working with
either Manuel or Sanchez.
Stern was the St. Johns
County Commission's repre-
sentative on the council for
the past four years, and she
was council president in her
last year.
During that time, .the coun-1
cil appointed her as chair of
the Regional Task Force for
Affordable Housing.
The council assured her that
she would be able to stay on
as chair of the task force even
after she left office as a com-
missioner, she said Tuesday.
Then she learned of her
appointment from Bush.

Deputy dog welcomed
by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF 1FWRITER
Despite the drooping lips, the
floppy ears and the excessive
, drooling, "Kahlua" doesn't play
around.
The 9-month-old police certified
bloodhound can pick up the scent
of someone she's tracking even if
they are driving in a car.
This is bad news for local crimi-
nals, because now Kahlua works
for the St. Johns County Sheriff's
Office.
"You cannot get away from
these dogs if they're trained," said
dog owner and breeder Duke
Snodgrass, who dropped off
Kahlua at the Sheriff's Office in St.
Augustine Tuesday morning.
Snodgrass is the owner and
founder of the Kody Snodgrass
Memorial Foundation also
known as the 832 K-9's Deputy
Dogs Inc. which breeds, raises
and trains bloodhounds to be used
as police trackers.
The foundation is based out of a
facility in Homosassa, Fla., and
now has a branch in Georgia.
The foundation was named after
Snodgrass' son Kody, who died in
a 'traffic accident in October 2001,
just two weeks shy of his 25th
birthday.
Kody Snodgrass' was a blood-
hounrd handler for the Lake
County (Floridal Sheriff's Office
and saved many lives by tracking
missing persons. His badge nuni-
ber was 0832.
For many years, Duke Snodgrass
was a dog breqder up north.
After Kody's death, Duke and his
wife Angie took up their son's
cause, breeding police certified *
bloodhounds and donating them
to law enforcement agencies
around the country and the world.
"We are honored to be the recip-
ients of this," Sheriff David Shoar
told Snodgrass Tuesday in front of
the Sheriff's Office.
"I can assure .you that his
[Kody's] legacy, will continue."
Shoar said Tuesday that police
dogs, particularly those trained to
track, have become a "vital part"
of law enforcement.
Kahlua is replacing the Sheriff's
Office previous bloodhound, who
retired in September. She will be
used mainly for finding missing
or abducted persons, and for track-
ing fugitives, deputies said.
According to Snodgrass and
Kahlua's trainer, Tim McGuire,
"bloodhounds were originally bred
for the sole purpose of tracking for
long periods of time and over long
distances.
They were the very first police
dogs, McGuire said.
The bloodhound breed stems
from England, where they used to
be called Saint Hubbard Hounds,
he said.
Bloodhounds require less water -
than most dogs because they con-
stantly salivate, and thorns and
briers roll off their loose skin, he
said.
They have the uncanny ability
to follow a scent composed only of
dead skin cells that constantly fall
from the human body, Snodgrass
said.

Stern: Fund-raising surpassed others
Continued from A-1
"It just seemed like a natu-
ral move," Stern said.
In her run for reelection to
the District 2 seat, Stern raised
more money than any other
commission candidate, with
the runner-up, Bruce Maguire,
a distant second. Both are
Republicans, as is Bush.
Stern collected $197, 470 in
donations, and Maguire col-
lected $140,640.
Sanchez, who ousted Stern
in the Sept. 5 primary, raised
$12,920, and Manuel,, who
ousted Maguire in the same
primary, raised $15,790.
Stem said she is aware that
some residents, mainly those
who worked to oust her from
her commission seat, oppose
'her appointment, on the council.

Bloodhound: You can run, not hide
Continued from A-I
As part of the dogs' training,
Snodgrass said, each dog is
given the scent of a person
who has driven about 20 miles
down a paved road and turned
left or right.
The trainers then take the
dogs to the intersection where
the car turned, and they are
able to lead trainers in the
direction the car turned based
solely on the person's scent as
it was expelled through the
vehicle's exhaust, Snodgrass
said.
As of Sept. 30, the Kody
Snodgrass Memorial
Foundation has given away 62
trained bloodhounds.
They have bred so many
dogs that they began assigning
a theme to each litter, naming
each puppy in that litter
accordingly.
Some of the themes include
TV shows, movie stars and
even rock 'n roll songs. Kahlua
and her brothers and sisters
were all named after alcoholic
beverages.
Each dog costs about
$14,500 to raise and profes-
sionally train.
The Snodgrasses rely on vol-
unteers for the training and
" care of these dogs, but with
"piles" of requests from law
enforcement agencies for dogs,
the need .to hire full-time
employees looms in the future.
Among the items on the'
"Not so Humble Wish List" are
a new kennel, additional train-
ing land'and the expansion of
Sthe training facility in Georgia.

Adams: Meeting was 'amicable'
Continued from A-i
Rich said that during com-

sought the board's approval of
a resolution against former
commissioner Karen Stern's
appointment to the Northeast
Florida Regional Council.
Stern was appointed by Gov.
jeb Bush earlier this month. -
Rich said Commissioner
Cyrndi Stevenson walked out of
the meeting at that time and
didn't return. Stevenson could
not be reached Tuesday for
comment.
According to Jerry Cameron,
Rich's commissioner aide,
Adams told Rich in their meet-

the county in January and
would stay on as a consultant
until his replacement could be
found.
"It was .very, very amicable,"
Cameron said of the meeting
between the two.
Adams could not be reached

The Agency has agreed to provide $176,000 from tax Available fron
increment funds each year for community policing in
the downtown redevelopment district. There is a hitch.
The tax increment district designation for downtown
that allows the redevelopment agency to capture tax dol-
lars that would otherwise go into county coffers expires
in 2013. As Development Director Steve Lindorff so aptly
.. put it, Jacksonville Beach will have seven or eight years
to find more traditional funding to finance the needed
policing downtown.
S- In the meantime, that problem is pushed out to 2014.
: For now, downtown Jacksonville Beach will get a real
boost in policing. Hopefully, the area will be a safer and

available and the perception of risk associated with the
area will be dispelled. S.T.O .P.P.En

a notice.
The windshield mounted
identification decal is a visi-
ble reminder of parental
supervision. It is hoped that
the advisory notification
received will' help diminish
the. number of young drivers
involved in motor vehicle
accidents and give you, as a
responsible parent, a means
of correcting behavior before
your child is injured, or
worse.
If a registered- vehicle is
toppedd 'while'beingr'dpeya t'ea
byio-nbiiunderage :diliivet, -the
officer will complete a notifi-
cation card providing you
with the following informa-
tion:
*Time and location of the
vehicle being stopped.
*Driver's name and number
of passengers.
eReason why the vehicle
was stopped.
*Whether or not any traffic
tickets were issued.
The notification will be
mailed to the address you
supplied with your vehicle
registration and program
enrollment form. The notifi-
cation process is an addition-
al method you can employ to
reinforce positive driving les-
sons. A notification can also
become a warning to you as a
parent and be an effective aid
in your efforts to supervise
teenage driving privileges.
The first step is to register
all vehicles that will be oper-
ated by a driver under 18
years of age. That can -be
accomplished by mail or sim-
ply by completing the online
form on our website at
www.sjso.org. Next, you will
receive a numbered decal to
affix to the windshield of
each of your registered vehi-
cles. That will be all that is
ever needed.
If local law enforcement
officers have a reason to stop
your vehicle in the future,
you will automatically be
notified of the circumstances

Beware the kitchen zone

Rutgers
returns
A ppaently, Rutgers, my,
alma mater, hasn't_ `
A .exactly been'a house-
hold word around here. I sus-
pect this is at least partly
because it's the state university
of New Jersey and hasn't had
a really good football team for
a long time.
That is, until now. When
Rutgers edged out the high-
ranked University of Louisville
recently on big-time TV, local
college gridiron fans could see
that the Scarlet Knights are a
football force to be reckoned
with. The modern "Scarlet
Letter," a large R, is no longer
a mark of pigskin poorness.
Fame. is elusive, though.
Probably not a whole lot of
sports fans hereabouts know
that the very first intercolle-
giate football game was played
on November 6, 1869,
between Rutgers and
Princeton (N.J.) University,
and Rutgers won. The rules
were way different from those
of today and the "uniforms"
were comically makeshift.
According to a university-
issued account, "...the players
stripped off their hats, coats,
and vests and bound their sus-
penders around the.waist-
bands of their trousers. For
headgear, the Rutgers team
wound their scarlet scarves
into turbans atop their heads."
Presumably there was no'..'"
other resemblance to Turkish
soldiers.
The field was a plot of
ground on the Rutgers campus
in New Brunswick, N.J...'There
was no problem arranging for
luxury spectator suites such as
at Alltel Stadium, because
there weren't any. In fact,
there were no regular. outdoor
seats. Reportedly, most of.the
approximately 100 attendees
"sat on a low wooden fence." I
assume there was no press
box.
Thus, having drawn, a crowd
of well over 40,000 in. their
new stadium against-
Louisville, the Scarlet Knights
have obviously come a long
way since 1869. As I type this,
the 2006 Rutgers juggernaut is
loss-free. If they were to meet
the powerful University of
Florida combo on the grid-
iron, it would be neat, even
though confounding to me.
After all, I've been a Gator
groupie for donkey's (or alliga-
tor's) years. Being so ambiva-
lent, I expect I'd root (silently)
for both, on and off.
Meanwhile, I'd be getting
my daily exercise, going back
and forth to the refrigerator.
Actually, that's a joke,
although I tend to agree with
another football filbert who
complained, "They say foot-
ball builds strong bodies, big
muscles, rippling biceps. Not
so. I watch it ten hours every,
weekend. Nothing!"
Anent my imagined Rutgers-
UF conflict, I ask, partially
impartially, Is there anything ,
greater than a Gator? Maybe a
Knight? Right.

flame erupted from the back
of the range, prompting me
to wonder whether this is
the same kind of light one
expects to guide them into
the hereafter.
It was only the day before
Thanksgiving and already
my kitchen was filled with
smoke and the relentless
wail of my smoke detector.
At least I know it works.
The hanger was stripped of
its rubber coating and the
crooked. question mark was
rendered both red hot and
stick-straight'by the heat.
I might as well have flown
a kite with a key attached in
the midst of a lightning
storm. .
Finally, I was able to pull
the hanger free from the
back of the stove where it
had arced against the plug.
I went to the circuit break-
er and cut off power to the
range but not before check-
ing the control panel for
signs of life. Luckily, we both
still had some left.
I Strangers rarely offer me
candy and I know better
than to walk out in front of. a
moving car. The next time I
lose something behind a
kitchen appliance, -I will
decide whether it's worth
more than my life.

STAFF WRITER
The Atlantic Beach Police
Department may be getting a
makeover, or a new. location,
according to City Manager Jim
Hanson.
Keith Reeves from Architects
Design, Group, Inc. reviewed
the facilities in Atlantic Beach
and gave a presentation to the
city commission at a workshop
meeting Monday\.
The facility, which is about 20
years old,. does not meet build-
irig code requirements, accord-
ing to Reeves.

ordinance,
is rethought
FROAI STAFF
Administrative changes to
the Atlantic Beach tree protec-
tion ordinance discussed at a
city commission meeting
Monday were deferred.
Staff reviewed the ordi-
nance and made some adjust-
ments, such as requiring a
tree permit for the removal,.of
public trees, according to a
report from Public Works
Director Rick Carper .
However, the issue that
sparked the most debate was
whether to increase the fine
for "clear cutting" trees, that
is, removing trees during a
construction project without
getting a permit first, specifi-
cally in cases where it is not
possible to decipher what was
there in the beginning. The
fine is currently $1 per square
foot of land cleared..
Staff recommended that the
fine be increased to '$5 per
squaree, .foot, but .t ,omrrimis-
slon'.ws. no.t .s,ur'e,,that,.t:.s
amount would be adequate
enough to- cause a deterrent
from the problem.
"What cities are compara-
ble?," asked Commissioner
Sylvia Simmons, who thought
that the fine should compare
with similar cities.
.The commission decided to
defer the issue until they can
get more information on
other cities and their fines as
well as input from the city
attorney as to the legal limits.

space, according to Hanson.
The sallyport, where patrol cars
drive to bring in prisoners, is
currently being used for evi-
dence storage, for example,
because storage space, is over-
crowded.
"The building is far smaller
than most other police depart-
ments for. a city. of this size,"
Hanson said.
Apart from a lack of size and
storage, there are other pressing
issues. The current building
might not be able to withstand
a hurricane. There is also a risk
of flooding in equipment areas,
according to Hanson.
Several options were dis-
cussed including expanding the
current facility or moving to a
new location.
The city commission, manag-
er, police chief and architects
toured the Jacksonville Beach
Police Department facility, to
explore some of the more cur-
rent options available, although
Hanson said that city officials
would also like to look at other
facilities in other cities.
Reeves estimated the cost of
either expanding or building a
new facility would be between
roughly $5 or $6 million.
According to Hanson, the city
may be able to obtain grants to
help pay for the, .cost, but the
majority of the costs would be
paid for by the city. ,
The commission did not
make any decisions and will dis-
cuss the options in another
workshop meeting when more
information is available.

Barbara Williams gives
some tips to her advanced
acting students Saturday at
Players By-The-Sea in
Jacksonville Beach. The
students will give a charity
performance Thursday.
In one of his last letters
home during World War
'II, Chailes Byron Mann of
Maypprt joked about the
new-fangled Navy ship he
would soon serve on in the
Pacific: A strange-looking
amphibious vessel known as
a,landing ship medium.
"I'll bet when you were in
the Navy, if you saw some-
thing like the thing I'm on,
you would have reported to
sick bay for a mental check-
up," Mann told his father,
Richard Mann, in a letter
postmarked June 24, 1944.
"This doesn't remind me of
a PT boat, but maybe I'm
lucky in that respect. PTs see
a little too much action for a
peace-loving person like
myself."
Ironically, Mann, a 1942
Fletcher High graduate,
would perish on the first and
,only.ship he served on dur-
ing the war: LSM-20.
A remembrance article on
Mann was published in The
Beaches Leader before
Veterans Day, minus a photo
of him and several of his let-
ters, which did not arrive
before the story went to
print.
After reading the letters, it
seemed only fitting to add a
postscript to Mann's remark-
able story.
The letters help fill in
some blanks about Mann's
training and mindset leading
up to the Battle of Leyte Gulf
in the Philippines.
Mann, 19, died a few
weeks after that epic naval
encounter in one of the first
Japanese kamikaze attacks of
the war.
"It's goi e ttpe a wonder-
ful feelingW hUh Hitler and
Tojo cash in their chips," a
letter Mann wrote to his
father says.
"Thanks for having so
much confidence in me. I
don't ever expect to make
out as well as Johnny did. If I
don't, it won't be because I
didn't try."
Johnny Mann, Byron's
older brother, served in John
F. Kennedy's PT boat
squadron and reached the
rank of chief petty officer
several months before Bvron
did.
Johnny Mann was the
brawnier of the two brothers,
having won a Golden Gloves
boxing title as a teenager.
Bvion Mann also boxed
(his nickname was
"punchy"), but he was more
introspective and expressive,
as evidenced by his letters.
Byron Mann scored high
on mechanical aptitude tests
in the Navy, and was selected
to oversee the engine room
on LSM-20.
The assignment meant
Mann would be responsible
for "the engineering of that

tub." his May 6, 1944, letter
to his mother says.-
"Uncle Sam is rushing this
LSM training quite a bit. In.
two more weeks I'm going to
be as salty as the Navy food
is."
According to an April 11,
1944 dispatch, Mann was
appointed "acting chief" of "
the engine room before his!.
ship was even built in
Houston. f
LSI's, also known as
"sandscrapers," could be
built and launched in 53
days. The lightly armed ships
carried tanks, troops and
cargo.
Mann's vessel was commis-
sioned on June 1-, 1944, for'
one express purpose: to par-'
ticipate in the large-scale
invasion of the Philippines
four months later.
LSNI-20 was among a van-
guard of amphibious ships
involved in the Battle of
Leyte Gulf, considered the
biggest and most multifac-
eted in naval history.
Mann, who was too young
to serve on PT boats like his
brother, was briefly consid-
ered for the submarine setr-
ice, according to one of his
earliest letters home.
"If I make it, tell Mom that
the modern subs have inner
spring mattresses and air
conditioning," a Jan. 19,
1943, letter says.
Before shipping out for the
Pacific, Mann, a motor
machinist's mate "spot-
rated" a chief petty officer
when he came aboard LSM-'
20, told his folks in a letter:
"I've just about convinced
myself that it doesn't matter
much where I go during the
war. The future is what
counts most."
Mann planned to go into.-
business with his father after
the war, but those dreams
died when a bomb-laden
kamikaze plane struck LSM- '
20 on Dec. 5, 1944, in the
Surigao Strait. '
Mann was one of eight
sailors killed in the attack.
His ship sunk in 20 minutes.

Young, who moved to

in cooking while reading

By the time she was prac-

become confident in her
ability to cook and entertain.

she began catering on the
side.

bring people together for an

The parties proved td be a

menu (built around a one-

said.
. Young's dinner began with
a few hors d'oeurves that
could be easily passed to the

Young chose to serve a

Recipes: Boeuf Bourguignon as the main course
Cont. from A-9
Seafood is always popular
for the holiday parties anc
good choice is oysters sern
freshly shucked with a ch;
pagne mignonette sauce.
Oysters are a nice change
pace from the shrimp that
often served at holiday co
tail parties, said Young.
Gougeres, or small cheese
puffs, are one of Young's
favorite choices for hors
d'oeurves. These are best
warm and crisp from the
oven so they definitely
require last minute effort.
The dough can be mixed
together a couple of days
ahead of time and the puf
baked shortly before guest
arrive.
Classic Wild Mushroom
Soup is rich and creamy. A
small shot glass (or espres:
or small tea cup) full is ju,
the right amount to enjoy
a first course.
For the main course, Yot
chose a classic Boeuf
Bourguignon served with
Potatoes Anna and a greer
salad. In keeping with her
informal holiday theme,
Young served the stew froi
large red enamel pot place
on the dining room table.
After the guests filled th
plates, they moved to livli
room for comfortable seat:
and conversation while th
enjoyed the meal.
Following the main couw
everyone was offered a vai
ety of cheeses served on a
tray garnished with the fr
and nuts of the season.
To go with coffee and a
selection of port wine and
cordials, Young served the
traditional French Christn
dessert, Buche de Noel. Th
dessert doesn't need to be
homemade, she said.
Purchase small pastries an
individual tarts, the Buche
de Noel, or another festive
dessert from a local busine

Handwriting club begins Jan. 8 at Wolfson clinic
St. Johns County schools
Superintendent Joseph
Joyner said this week that
Nease High School's sports
violations can provide "les-
sons in character."
In his weekly Web posting
Monday, Joyner said that the
Nease administration's
reporting of the possible vio-
lation of Florida High School
Athletics Association rules is
itself a "demonstration that
'Victory With Honor' is alive
and well in St. Johns
County."
The FHSAA levied a
$20,000 fine and placed the
Nease. Athletic Department
on six years of probation
after finding violations of
rules prohibiting induce-
ments for players.
The two former adjunct
assistant football coaches
involved one of whom
provided work for the foot-
ball player's father and the
other of whom provided
housing for the father and
boy and transportation for
the boy have appealed the
ruling, saying their actions
were not used to induce the
player to transfer to or stay at
Nease.
The player was not found
ineligible, and Nease was not
prevented from,going to the
playoffs..
"As a district, we filly rec-
ognize and respect the
authority of the governing
agency and will always make
every effort to follow the let-
ter and spirit of the rules,"
Joyner said in his message on
the School District's Web site
i www.st johns. kl2.fl.us i.
"While I am disappointed
with the actions on the part
of a few and their obvious
lack of knowledge and under-
standing of the regulations, I
am encouraged that the
administration at Nease acted
promptly in reporting what
they saw as a potential viola-
tion," he said.
"It would be disingenuous
to deny some disturbing
trends in high school athlet-
ics. However, it w-uld be
equally unfair to fail to recog-
nize the many positive con-
tributions to the growth of
our students and the lessons
in character that can be
taught and learned," Joyner
said on the posting.
"You have my sincere com-
mitment that I will continue
to vigorously pursue 'Victory
With Honor' and that St.
lohns County will be held to
the highest level of integri-
ty."

Panthers capitalize on turnovers to win
Points off Seabreeze
mistakes key victory
By JOHNNY WOODHOUSE
.4SSOCL4TE EDITOR
Danny Cowgill said it best
Friday night, following Nease
High's 24-14 state playoff tri-
umph over visiting Daytona
Beach Seabreeze.
"The deeper you go [in the
state playoffs], the turnovers are
magnified," Cowgill, Nease
High's .defensive coordinator,
explained Friday as Nease
.clinched a berth in the Class 4A
state semifinals
for the second
vear in a row.
"We had a
tremendous
-amount of
penalties, but
the one thing
you can't have
is self-inflicted
wounds," added
Nease head
coach Craig
Howard, whose
top-ranked SANDCRA
team 113-0, 4A
No. 1i travels PANTHEF
Friday to
Tallahassee's Gene Cox Stadium
to face unranked Lincoln High
i8-3.).
"You certainly have to secure
the football in the playoffs."
Nease accrued 10 penalties for
91 yards Friday, but won the all-
important plus-minus turnover
ratio.
The Panthers scored the go-
ahead touchdown off the first of
three Seabreeze turnovers in the
fourth quarter.
Senior Zach Tronti 122 carries,
110 rushing yards) waltzed into
the end zone six plays later on a
1-yard run to break a 14-all tie
with 7:57 to play.
Allen Schaefer capped the
scoring with a 32-yard field goal
with 3:05 remaining to oust the
No. 9 Sandcrabs (10-31 from the
regional finals.
"\Ve made too many mistakes
to beat a good team like Nease."
said Seabreeze head coach Marc
Beach after the game.
"The backbreaker was when it
was 14-14 and we give them the
ball right back [on a Jared
NMacNaught interception at the
Nease 4-yard line].
"That's part of football.
Somebody is 'going to do it, and
somebody is not."
NMacNaught's first of two sec-
ond-half interceptions broke
open a tight game between a
pair of mirror teams.
Nease and Seabreeze run
spread offenses steered by fleet-
footed junior quarterbacks.
The difference-maker is that
Nease hugs the ground more on
offense behind a grinding run
game.
That wiild card was evident
Friday as the Panthers lugged the
leather on 43 of their 64 plays.
Tronti had 82 second-half
yards, including a 40-yard burst
to set up Schaefer's three-point-
er.
Quarterback Ted Stachitas
(878 rushing yards this season)
had 63 yards on 16 carries for
the game and threw for 195
yards on 15 of 21 passing.
Seabreeze got ample produc-
tion out of its junior QB Troy
Dannehower (151 rush, 120
pass), but 1,000-yard rusher
Leroy Houston was held to 37
yards on 12 carries and for
minus 14 yards in the second
half.
,The Sand-
crabs also had a
chance to go up
17-14 at half-
time, but could-
n't convert a
28-yard field
goal to cap a 13-
play, 86-yard
drive that con-
sumed the final
six minutes of
the second
BS 14 quarter.
"That missed
S 24 field goal hurt
us, momentum-
.wie," added-Beach, whose team
fell to St'. Augustine in the 2002
regional finals.
"\Ve came away with zero and
that's counted as a turnover. We
played the run pretty good on
defense except for their quarter-
back scrambling."
Stachitas and Dannehower
traded big runs all night.
Both had at least six runs of 9
yards or more, with Danne-
hower scoring on an 80-yard run
on the game's opening play.
Stachitas scored on a 20-yard
TD pass from Tronti and threw a
25-yard scoring strike to Collins
Lee to give Nease a 14-7,lead late
in the first quarter.
Dannehower hit Daniel Pigott
in the flat for a 25-yard TD pass
to knot theco.re at 14 fth 9:14
to play in the first half.
Neither team scored for the
next 25 minutes until Houston
fumbled a pitchout with 10:39
left in the fourth. .A,
Ben Cowell recovered the
giveaway and Hunter Bates
recovered a muffed kickoff by
Issac Brown to preserve the vic-
tory, Nease's 22,nd in a row.
MacNaught hauled in his sec-
ond pick with 1:51 remaining.
Nease converted only one of
its four takeaways into points,
but held Dannehower and
Seabreeze's five-wide offense out
of the end zone in the second
half.
"Their quarterback is a runner.
We had chances to get him on
the ground but he broke tack-
les," said Cowgill, whose unit
has given up only six second-
half points in the playoffs.
"We didn't tackle very well in
the first half, but we played bet-
ter defense in' the second. We
went to a single-high safety to
take away their run game."

against Daytona Seabreeze. It was the first of two key picks for MacNaught as the Panthers defeated the Sandcrabs, 24-14, to
advance to this week's state semifinal al Tallahassee Lincoln.
"When the defense got that
fumble, we capitalized on it,"
added Howard, one'of 17 nomi-
nees for 4A Coach of the Year.
"Normally, we don't miss that
many tackles, so I wanted to get
the game under control by run-
ning more on offense.
"People think we throw it
every 'down, but we, can also
drive the ball. I think' the thing
that always helps us is that we
are balanced [on offense]."
NOTES: Christian Dennis led
Nease with six catches for 65
yards. Graham Bates hauled in
the game's longest pass: a 61-
yard post route. Seven different
receivers caught balls, includ-
ing junior C.J. Thompson.
Right guard Larson Miniard
provided the key trap block
that sprung Tronti on the 40-
yard counter play. Schaefer
booted a 36-yard FG that was
nullifed by a procedure penalty.
Zack Cooper had three 50-yard
punts, two touchbacks and a
punt and a kickoff inside the
10-yard line.
"His kicks inside the 10 were
instrumental in keeping us alive
in this ball game," said Howard.
"We almost got a safety on
one of those."
Seabreeze was without its
best player, Division I prospect
James Scott 177.'tacklesi, who
sat out the contest due to
injury.

FROM STAFF
The Panthers boys soccer
team dominated St. Augustine
at home Monday night arruid
thick fog and an eene atmos-
phere.
Nease rolled to a 4-1 victory
on goals by Myles Wright, Joe
McKinley, Austin Nelson and'
Palmer Davis. McKinley's goal
came off a free kick in the first
half, while Davis's goal was on a
comer kick taken by teammate
Max Lang.
Caleb Sturgis scored the
Yellow Jackets' lone goal.
Nease outshot St. Augustine

Hanburry scored second-half

It was the first loss of the sea-

ACC CHAMPIONSHIP
While it's somewhat unusual
for a punter or placekicker to be
instrumental to the season-long
success of a football team, that's
the case for the Wake Forest
Demon Deacons and Fletcher
High grad Sam Swank.
Following Saturday's 38-24
victory over Maryland, Wake
Forest finds itself in this week's
ACC Championship Game and
Swank returns to the
Jacksonville area as a potential-
ly key player as the Demon
Deacons get set to battle
Georgia Tech.
Swank, a sophomore, was
flawless this season in convert-
ing 32 extra points and also
connected on 18 of 24 field
goals. He scored 86 points and
had five field goals of at least 50
yards.
In strong contention for the
Lou Groza award as college
football's best kicker, the 6'2",
206-pound Swank also handled
punting duties for Wake Forest,
averaging 41.3 yards per
attempt and booming one for
86 yards.
Four times this season Swank
was named Specialist of the
Week by the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
Against Maryland, Swank
booted a 36-yard field goal in
the third quarter.

m OPINION
ONIONN'
Coughli an intense coachand cg man
Tr' he passing of long-time'
SMichigan head coach Bo
L. Schembechler last week
at the age of 77 brought to
mind other great football
coaches who have been
known for being tough and
unrelenting, but just the
opposite to those who truly
know them.
Paul "Bear"
Bryant, Vince
Lombardi, John
McKay, Gen.
Bob Nevland
and Wallace
Butts, to name
just a few, were
all of that pat-
tern. One can
add Tom
Coughlin to
that list as well.
You wouldn't
call any of REX EDM
those coaches PRES.
"pussycats,"
exactly, but
their families
might.
Anyone, either as a player, a,
fan or a member of the
media, who had the chance to
know Coughlin in his time in
Jacksonville knew him not as
a stringent, hard-as-nails lead-
er but as an understanding
man with a determination to
win. And as a man who cared.
Coughlin did win for the
first part of his coaching
tenure here. Had it not been
for the salary cap, which near-
ly caused the Jaguars to go
belly-up starting in 2000,
Jacksonville surely would
have made the Super Bowl
I
and in so doing have set a
record for accomplishinig-that
feat in the shortest time.
The players who were inter-
viewed last week as
Coughlin's New York Giants
came to town knew him far
better than those of us in the
media who often got to wit-
ness his ire. I got along with
Father Tom (named him in
honor of his
religious convic-
tions and occa-
sional fatherly
image). I never
seemed to ask
him anything
that brought
out Mr. Hyde. If
: '. \ g I had, i might
not be here
SN today.
S Much has
been written
ONDSON about
BOX Coughlin's fine
charitable work,
but other little
things often go
unwritten. We've seen him
help people at the airport and
elsewhere. He cares so much
about his players he does per-
sonal things for them that
many coaches might over-
look. i
Maybe the most objection-
able thing to the media was
one of Tom's Golden Rules:
"Thou shalt not talk to the
assistant coaches." Everything
had to come through the
head coach.
To many of us who had
been in the business for
decades before Tom Coughlin
.came, it seemed ludicrous. But'
the man" had his reasons aind
nobody challenged them..
One day I almost did.
Running into an assistant.in a
hallway at Alltel Stadium with
nobody around; I asked how
he was doing and he replied,
"Fine." Thenr I remembered.
the rule.
"Oops. You won't tell that I
spoke to you, will you?" I
said. He laughed, put a finger
to his lips and said softly,, ".
won't if you don't tell that I
answered you".
But mostly it was all in fun.,
Somebody said Tom never
laughed. I said, "Oh, yes. I
saw him laugh one day when
a reporter slipped and landed
on his rear."
Still, we were sorry to see
Coughlin go and we're
delighted he's kept a home
here. A man of Tom
Coughlin's character and class
comes along all too rarely.
Especially in pro sports.

Montessori Tides School celebrates 20
years of joyful learning at the Beaches
For the past two decades, the
faculty and staff of nationally
recognized Montessori Tides
School in Jacksonville Beach
have dedicated themselves to
offering young learners a
unique environment one
that follows a traditional
Montessori approach to educa-
tion.
"In 1986 we opened our
Y doors as a privately owned and I
operated Montessori school for
children ages three to six
..years," said Kathy Graham,
founder, director and owner of
the school. "Since then we've
expanded twice in 1997 our
program included toddlers
through grade 6, and in 2005
we expanded yet again
through grade 8."
Fully accredited by the .
American Montessori Society,
the Florida Kindergarten,
Council and the Southern
Association of Colleges and
.Schools,-Montessori Tides has
also played a major role in the t..
expansion of Montessori in The students at Montessor
Duval County's public schooltraditional Montessorappr
system and as a model. school, traditional Montd Leslisoe. app
many of its former' teachers Emily, Lucy and Leslie.
have gone on to become
nationally certified teachers, owners of other Montessori
schools, or teacher-educators. I '
In addition to its national recognition and national,
regional and state accreditation, Montessori Tides School is
unique, .said Graham. "We enable children to learn
through self-motivation while at the same time provide
the environment for them to discover the feelings of per-
sonal joy generated by personal accomplishment," she
said. "We-also help them learn how to work to completion
without stopping so they can experience the excitement of
persevering with something, which eventually they are
able to finish all by themselves!"
Montessori Tides School bases its philosophy on the tra-
ditional Montessori that first and foremost considers what
is best for each individual child. "We also have ah interna-
tional orientation," said Graham, who was not only
trained by one of the "pioneers" who brought Montessori
education to the United States but also is the only
Montessori director in Northeast Florida' who holds an
internationally recognized diploma and is an active trainer
for future. Montessori teachers.
So what is Montessori?
The Montessori instructional method is based on a
unique pedagogical philosophy developed almost 100
years ago by Dr. Maria Montessori. "Basically, Dr.
Montessori's philosophy aims fdr the fullest possible devel-
topte. of,-t-he human potential as preparation for life,"
a a td. "nf, g.ssc.ri, learpj.. s, d pami"ro-q
cess in which a child's WHOLE personality must be active-
ly engaged -'that means we give the child the freedom to
develop physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritu-
ally."
The method is based on one crucial value: a child's own
self-motivation, according to Graham. "This doesn't mean
that teachers are observers only, however," she said. "First,
teachers prepare the environment for learning, direct,
learning activities, serve as guides and offer the child stim-
ulation. Then they stay back and observe the child reveal
herself/himself through their :'work,' which becomes the
child's motivating force."

i Tides School experience thejoy of learning with the school's
coach to education. Pictured above are students (left to right)
With this philosophy in mind, Montessori Tides School
has two goals, Graharn said. "First, we believe that each
child should be allowed to experience the excitement of
learning by his or her choice rather than being forced," she
said. "Secondly, we help the children perfect their individ-
ual learning skills so their abilities will be at a maximum in
future learning situations."
What is the Montessori learning environment like?
Graham cites three characteristics. "First, we focus on the
unique styles of learning of every child, rather than on cur-
riculum expectations and standardss" she said. "We also
design a carefully prepared learning environment to meet
the children's interests, development and abilities. The
teachers do this by designing and adapting the environ-
ment and by modifying the educational materials so that
the needs of the children are best served."
Learning activities at Montessori Tides School include
many opportunities for hands-on learning, which are
motivated by the child's natural desire. for exploration and
discovery. All of the. activities are.developmentally appro-
priate based on scientific observation and research.
Is Montessori Tides the right place for your.child?
Graham said no one educational approach can be right
for. every learner. "The most relevant question in selecting
a Montessori school is to consider. how well it matches
your sense of what you want for you child and then to seek
out the best fit not only between your child and the
schooliiujua.ilsibeAween..-your own parental values and
goals for your child's education and what a particular
school can deliver," she said..
To this end, Graham invites parents and grandparents to
call Montessori Tides to make arrangements to visit the
9,000-square-foot school, observe classes, meet its top-
notch certified faculty and staff and learn more about the
Montessori approach to education.
Montessori Tides School is located at 1550 Penman Rd.
in Jacksonyille Beach. For more information about the
school, .its philosophy and upcoming events, please call
