Deadline looms


for MSD sewers


by LAURA FOWLER
STAFF WRITER
The Jan. 1 deadline for con-
necting to JEA's new sewer sys-
tem in the Ponte Vedra
Municipal Service District
(lNSDi is rapidly approaching,
and just over half of the 675
properties have connected.
Of the total, 357 had con-
nected by this week and an
additional 242 had paid the
connection fee one of the
first steps needed to connect -
leaving 76 properties still in
question.
But contrary to what one
MSD trustee said at Monday's
MSD meeting, JEA will not
apply a minimum monthly
sewer charge to those who
don't meet the deadline.
"\Ve would not charge until
someone is actually connected
to our system," Greg Corcoran,
spokesman for JEA, said in an
interview Thursday.
Trustee Rob Becker said
Monday that lEA would start
sending out bills for a mini-
mum monthly sewer charge to
those who have not connected
by Jan. 1.
Corcoran said Thursday that
JEA has pledged to work with
customers who have not been
able to schedule a plumber, to
do the work.
Although state law requires
property owners to hook into a
sewer within one year after it is
available that one-year
deadline, August, was extended
to Jan. 1 IEA has no author-
ity to enforce that law,


Holiday hugs

Ocean Palms Elementary students bearing gifts for foster children (above) rush from
the school Wednesday toward vehicles that will deliver the goods. Sophia Lettuca
(right) carries a box full of gifts at the Landrum Lane school', where the program
began several years ago when a class of special needs children collected coins.
The program expanded, and a foundation was formed to benefit foster children at
the urging of Sandra Nasca of Ponte Vedra Beach, who has parented many foster
children over the years. The foundation, How 'bout a Hug for Foster Kids, counts
Ocean Palms as one of its regular benefactors, and this holiday season the school
will provide gift bags for nearly 60 children, with the Sawgrass Women's Club con-
tributing gifts for an additional 44 foster children.
pr.noic b CHUCK ADAMS


Corcoran said.
Enforcement would fall on
the St. Johns County
Department of Code
Enforcement.
Becker said Monday that the
county is willing to work with
residents who have shown an
intent to get connected.
John Schwab, special proj-
ects coordinator for St. Johns
County, said the county will
contact homeowners who have
not connected by the deadline.
"Sometimes people just
don't think about it," Schwab
said in an interview this week.
"If there's an intent to con-
nect, we're poing to work with
them."
Because only a few plumbers
are working on the MSD proj-
ect, there is a long waiting list
for their services, Becker said.
He said the best thing to do
is have a written estimate or
contract from a plumber to
show that at least an attempt
to connect has been made.
He said the county also
understands the heavy costs
associated with connecting
and will work with residents
who may have financial prob-
lems.
.JEA's original connection fee
was $1,025 per household until,
that, increased to $1,274 on
Jan. 1, according to Corcoran.
Another $778 is charged as a
growth capacity fee.

PV couple on Jeb Bush's holiday cards


by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF It'PJTER
The likeness of a Ponte Vedra
Beach couple will find its way to
20,000 of Gov. Jeb Bush's nearest
and dearest friends and family this
holiday season.
The couple, Glenn and Karen
Johnson, are featured in a work of
"art ringhti selected for the gover-
nor's holiday greeting card and cre-
ated by their granddaughter, Blake
Bryant.
Blake, 9, a Beaches Episcopal
School fourth grader, won the
Florida Pride Holiday Card contest,
putting the drawing on the cards.
Her artwork, titled "Together
Always Like Glue and Paper," was
one of 800 submitted by Florida
students in kindergarten through


grade 12.
"She's very excited," said Dana
Johnson, Bryant's mother and an
art teacher at Landmark Middle
School in Jacksonville.
"And we're excited to think that
the current President [George \V.
Bush] and a former President
[George H.W\V. Bush] will both be
receiving her artwork."
Bryant's likeness appears on the
card with those of her mother,
maternal grandparents and pets.
She's a sixth-generation Beaches
resident who comes from a long
line of teachers, among them her
grandfather, who teaches at
Wolfson High School, and grand-
mother, who teaches at Fletcher.
"I'm actually ecstatic," said Dana
Johnson "Any patent would be
pleased, but as an art teacher it was


very rewarding."
Art runs in Johnson's family. Her
grandmother and mother also were
art teachers.
"I was floored when she won,
competing with students almost
twice her age.
"I think it is important for the
community to see examples of how
electives [such as art] support and
reinforce core academic classes,"
Johnson said.
"This contest required the stu-
dents to supply a written artist state-
ment to accompany their artwork."
Blake's statement reads, "Like all
good artwork, my family is made up
of different shapes, sizes, textures
and colors. When my mother,
grandmother, grandfather and I are
put together, we create a great col-
lage."


Group helps Rotarian 's

wounded warrior, 20


by CHUCK ADAMS
STAFF It'RITER
Ponte Vedra Beach Rotarian
Jim Hoener wasn't aware of a
military support program
called the Wounded Warrior
Project until after a nephew
was critically wounded Sept. 27
in Iraq.
But what followed led
Hoener to introduce Wourided
Warrior and its executive direc-
tor, John Melia, to the Ponte
Vedra Rotary Club at its weekly
meeting Thursday at Marsh
Landing Country Club.
"This is an opportunity to
bring some visibility to that
organization, to let people
know what is being done for all
of our critically wounded men
and women who serve in


harm's way," said Hoener,
whose nephew, Marine Lance
Cpl. John McClellan, 20, was
shot through the head by a
sniper in Haditha, Iraq
Hoener said McClellan was
given "very little chance to sur-
vive." That. prompted a call to
Dan McCarthy, Jacksonville's
director of veterans affairs, to
ask what Hoener could do to
help..
McCarthy suggested a call to
Melia.
The Wounded Warrior
Project began in 2003 in the
basement of Melia's home,
then in Roanoke, Va.
Melia told the Rotarians that
he recognized there was a gap
in support for wounded

Valley parade seen as peak event


FROM STAFF
For some Palm Valley resi-
dents, Saturday's boat parade
along the Intracoastal is a
chance to host a party with
free, live entertainment.'
For some dock owners along
the 'parade route, the event is a
time to decorate with lights
and compete for prizes. (See
story, B-1).
But for the boaters who will
make up the flotilla, the event
is the Holy Grail, the "Super
Bowl of light parades," organiz-
er Phil Kelly said Thursday.
Wednesday's final captain's
meeting at LuLu's Waterfront
Grille was charged with com-
petitive energy, Kelly said..
"We've got all the grand
champions of all the parades
[already held in the area]," said
Kelly, who is in charge of


recruiting boats for the annual
event.
"Now the gloves are off,
'cause this is the last parade of
the year."
From the Westside comes
this year's winner of the
Jacksonville parade in the
under-30-feet category, Capt.
Steve DiPema.
Capt. Don Shirley, winner of
last week's St. Augustine Light
Parade, "is looking to win his
first Palm Valley champi-
onship," Kelly said.
Capt. David Gonzalez and
his musical Rockin' Santa boat
"has added three backup
singers" in his quest for
Saturday's top prize, Kelly said.
Last year, Gonzalez came in
second in Palm Valley while
winning three other contests,
just missing the Grand Slam,


Kelly said.
Also joining in is the "always
popular 'Helga the Viking
Ship,' operated by Capt.
Eric Nord and his 'Sons of
Norway' club," Kelly said.
Last year's Palm Valley
champion, Helga has gotten
"'several new additions" as
crew members, who dress in
Viking costume, try for a
return victory.
"This is going to be the
showdown for braggin' rights,"
Kelly said. Although prizes are
awarded $1,500 went to last
year's winner organizers are
pushing for donations to
sweeten the pot.
"The boaters are viewing our
parade as the championship
parade," he said.

Oar House site OK for offices

STAFF WRITER
The owner of the Oar House
Restaurant in Ponte Vedra is one step
closer to selling the community land-
mark after having it on the market for
about a year.
Chris Beladi, the Realtor who listed the
property on Mickler Road just west of
State Road AlA, met with a St. Johns
County. Development Review
Committee Wednesday to discuss possi-
ble development options for the proper-
ty.
The best possible scenario for the 2-1/2
acre property, according to the commit-
tee, is an office complex.
"It's good to have a preapplication
meeting... because they give you a level
of expectation for development," Beladi
said Wednesday.
Beladi submitted two different scenar-

dential units a use that would increase-

Delegation gives charter OK
The St. Johns County Legislative
Delegation agreed Wednesday to take a
charter proposal for St. Johns County
government to the legislative session that
begins March 6.
The delegation, which is made up of
area representatives from the Florida
House and Senate, will consider propos-
ing the charter as a special act to be
placed on a ballot for St. Johns County'
voters.
Proponents say the chapter would give'
citizens more control over their local gov-

the density and one for offices.
According to comments made by
county staff, the property, which is cur-
rently zoned Open Rural, will soon be
rezoned Commercial by county adminis-
tration.
Because the county's Comprehensive
Plan prohibits increasing the density of
property in coastal areas, the property
must stay commercially zoned, making
condo's or apartments out of the ques-
tion.
Beladi said the meeting helped shed
some light on how the property can be
used so that future interested buyers will
know the property's potential up front.
"Anything that goes there is going to
be a positive thing for the community,"
Beladi said.
"I don't think that any development
there will impact the neighborhood neg-
atively."
Beladi said there has been a lot, of
:interest in the property, which is listed
for $2.995 million.

Sewers: 76 properties remain in question


Continued from A-1
Many residents have complained
of escalating costs.'
Some plumber's bills have
reached as high as $20,000, Bruce
Maguire, former County
Commissioner, said at a May com-
mission meeting.
Corcoran said after Jan. 1, JEA
plans on manually checking each


pod, or sewer collection chamber,
to see how many homes are actual-
ly connected to the system.
He said JEA fears plumbers may
be forgetting to notify them when a
connection is made.
Technically, once JEA approves a
plumber's installation of sewer
valves on the pods, the rest of the
connection to each home can ,be'


made, Corcoran said.C
Plumbers or homeowners are sup-
.posed to notify JEA when the con-
nection is made, and that may not
always be the case, he said.
Corcoran said residents with
questions about connection fees or
sewer charges should call JEA's
sewer preservice department at 665-
5260.

military personnel, who are rushed
out of combat zones, leaving their
belongings behind.
Melia began collecting basic
necessities for' those servicemen,
but the project has evolved into an,
effort to help military personnel get
their lives back.
. "We're involved in counseling,"
said Melia. "We've written and had
passed the most sweeping piece of
veterans legislation in the past 30
years, the Wounded Warrior Bill,
which provides traumatic injury
insurance to wounded service mem-
bers and their families. We.do 62
rehabilitative :sporting events
around the country.
"The project has become so much
more than I ever intended'it to be,"
he said. "We now have 18 people
who work full time.I.It's a national
effort. We have thousands of volun-
teers."
The Wounded Warrior Project
and its executive director relocated
this summer to the Jacksonville,
area. It's headquartered off Butler
Boulevard in the Belfort area.
Hoener said McClellan is "doing
remarkably well," given the fact he,
was given virtually no chance to
survive the first night. "
He was transported the next day
to Germany, then to Bethesda (Md.)
Naval Hospital, where he stayed
one, month. He spent. another 30.
days--in the VA Hospital in Tampa,
arid ls"'noxv an outptlient' in


2Missouri.'
Hoener said McClellan can talk
and see and is .learning to walk,
although he has "lost his joy."
"We're hoping one day the light
comes on," Hoener said.
McClellan's head wound brought
his third Purple Heart. Two others
were given in Afghanistan. .
Hoener said his nephew's latest
award was presented by the' Marine
Corps Commandant, .who said
McClellan was only the second,
Marine to whom he had given a
third Purple Heart. The other came.
in the Vietnam era.
Among other organizations that
help military families in their times
of need are Semper Fi, a Marine
Corps support group that provided
transportation and accommoda-
tions for McClellan's parents.
Also, Homes *for Our Troops
which builds houses for handi-
capped military, and the Fallen
Intrepid Heroes Fund works with
families of servicemen who have
been killed and is involved with a
$40-million project to build a cen-
ter for amputees, slated to open in
January in Texas.
"I think this is a longtime effort,"
Melia said of' all those groups'
efforts.
"If the war were to end tomorrow,
our work-will continue for the next'
five to 10 years, at least."

As part of his presentation, Melia
showed, two. tapes that featured
some of the amputees and one
blinded soldier Wounded Warriors

"I'm not disabled, just inconve-

The Leader's Opinion


Hiring unknown

is not businesslike

If you had responsibility for a business, would you hire
someone you had never met to manage the enterprise?
No, probably not. It would not be a prudent or busi-
nesslike move to hire a stranger sight unseen.
Yet that is exactly what the St. Johns County
Commission did this week.
Three of the five commissioners voted Monday to hire
an interim county administrator.
Commission Chair Ben Rich asked Wally Kropacek, a
retired U.S. Customs agent and former campaign worker
for him, to fill the county's top administrative spot. He
convinced two other commissioners, Tom Manuel and
Ron Sanchez, to go along with him and ,hire Kropacek -
a stranger to the two- to oversee operations for up to six
months until a permanent replacement is found. ,
That is not how the public's business should be. done.
Kropacek, who was to begin work Wednesday, acknowl-
edged afterward he is a little rusty, but promised to get up
to speed. After the vote to hire him, he then met his new
bosses.
To their credit, commissioners Jim Bryant and Cyndi
Stevenson strongly opposed the hiring. Both suggested
filling the interim slot with one of the assistant adminis-
trators who is familiar with county staff and procedures.,
That could have been done. Or Kropacek could have
been asked to meet the.commissionersand nd a vote could
have been postponed for a week. There is no county
emergency that requires an immediate hiie
In a blatant disregard for businesslike hiring processes,
the majority chose to accept Rich'sassurances that his for-
mer boss was a good choice. Maybe he is. but each com-
missioner should have made that determination inde-
pendently after careful review. That is how elected offi-
cials should conduct business -not rubberstamping a
peer's pet pick.
The public's business should be run like a business, not
a fraternity.

Gloating excessive bySJ trio


To the editor:
rs I A letter-writer asserts that
h "Those not in bloc on SJ com-
mission should quit pouting
and whining" '(The Leader
Dec. 8). Funny, I haven't
heard any whining or seen
evidence of pouting from
Commissioners Bryant and
Stevenson, just opposition to
illegal maneuvering. But, I
have heard some aggressive
gloating.
It was once written, '.Hell

Time for less negativity in J

so city council can do its jol


To the editor :
Abraham Lincoln said; "You
can fool some of the people
all of the time, all of the peo-
ple some of the time, but you
can't fool all of the people all
of the time".
The Beaches Watch Group
candidate for Jacksonville
Beach City Council Scott
Chestnut, lost. Oh, I know
that Ms. [Sandy] Golding says
that the BWG does not sup-
port candidates. I'll let you be
the judge.
Core members [of the
group] contributed over
$1,600 to Scott's campaign.
As I said, I'll let you be the
judge.
The same group supported
Dean Thompson in his losing
. effort to defeat the Home


Depot application for [a] store
in the South Beach Regional
Shopping Center.
[Certain core] members at
one time or another spoke in
opposition to Home Depot at
the Planning Commission
meeting and at both council
meetings when the hearings
were held. Once again Ms.
Golding will say the BWG
does not support issues.
Since the inception of the
BWG, I cannot remember one
instance when they projected
a positive position on any
subject. It has always been
negative, negative, negative.
It has been abundantly
clear to me that the citizens
of Jacksonville Beach want a
positive approach to their city
government. In a Republic


form of government, the peo-
ple elect their officials and
the elected officials make the
laws.
Once again the voters in
Jacksonville Beach elected
three excellent new members
to the City Council.
Just as Honest Abe said;
"You can't fool all of the peo-
ple all of the time".
Maybe it's time for Ms.
Golding to take her BWG and
set sail on her boat from St.
Augustine and let the new
Jacksonville Beach City
Council perform their elected
duties Without interference
from such a negative group.

ple on tile floor. He asked me
if I can help and, I said I'll try,
I'll try.
For the last 6 years, I'have
raised funds in my nail salon
to help my village because it
is a very poor and rural area.
Their houses are make of
coconut leaves and the floor
is' just plain dirt. They are
lacking many basic needs.
Over 6 years, I 'have raised
over $10,000 and wired
money directly home to the
people I trusted. With the vol-
unteers there, they built wells,
gave out rice and medicine
and hel ed poor children
with c1tes: and, schplssup-


plies.
Now the' effects of the
typhoon are much bigger. I
really need your help.
I hope to raise some money
to help them get the basic
needs like food, water, blan-
kets and mosquito nets so
they can feel some comfort
after losing so much to the
natural disaster. Please consid-
er this as another call at
Christmas and share some-
thing .to the people that have

Schools should stick to basics


To the editor:
I read with interest the letter
from a Mkfayport Middle School
teacher defending "Mix It Up"
Day against my earlier criti-
cisms.
His first claim is that the pro-
gram was voluntary. The article
does not make this clear. Even
if it were, however, "voluntary,"
my criticisms would still
remain valid. In my experi-
ence, as a victim of American
public education, such pro-
grams are about as "voluntary"
as the Hitler Youth or the
Young Pioneers.
Administrators and teachers:
have a million ways to pressure
a student to be involved, from
lowering grades on schoolwork
which is graded by subjective
'criteria, to ignoring his .ques-
tions in the classroom, or to
refusing to give the otherwise
deserving student his cheesy
"Honor Student" bumper stick-
er.
I did not call the school an
"armed camp," as the writer
alleges. My objection was to
uniform members of the
American armed forces lending
the prestige of their uniforms
and their presence to an event
so perfectly un-American. The
use of military personnel, in
uniform, to encourage children
to engage in any particular
brand of "right thinking" is the
stuff of authoritarian govern-
ments, not free societies.
The writer calls this a "purely
innocent event." It is not that
at all, but is an' attempt to
indoctrinate students. Francis
Xavior, one of the leaders of an
earlier authoritarian period
called the Counter-
Reformation, said "Give me the
child until he is seven."
The people who gave us
"Mayport Mix It Up" Day
apparently feel that having the
child in seventh grade will suf-


fice. It is not the job of a tax-
payer-supported public school
to interfere with children's
thoughts about each other, no
matter how politically incor-
rect they may be. That is the
job of parents; If America still
remains a free country, it
means that (despite the best
efforts of the people who
brought us "Mix It Up" Day) a
Klansman, a Nazi, a
Communist, a follower of the
Nation of Islam, or a supporter
of Osama bin Laden all have
the right to bring up their chil-
dren as they wish without
those rights being interfered
with government functionar-
ies.
The only exceptions to this
occur when the child is being
physically harmed by his par-
ents or if he is harming other
children. Schools should focus
on teaching matters like
Language Arts, Mathematics
and Science, and leave the
socialization to the parents and
kids themselves.
SThe writer ignores complete-
ly the fact that I devoted con-
siderable space to means of
solving the alleged problem of,
bullying without infringement
on the rights of all students, or
trampling on the prerogatives
of parents. Punishments such
as in-house detentions, suspen-
sions, transfers of schools for
discipline problems or even
incarceration are available.
There is no need to infringe on
the American sttident's First
Amendment right to free asso-
ciation and there is no need to
infringe on the citizen's Second
and Ninth Amendment rights
to. gun ownership in order to
combat street crime. Such
infringements are the stuff that
totalitarians who want govern-
ment to have at monopoly of
force over the citizenry and or
to indoctrinate children into

Seasonal message set to song


by ALEXANDRA KUMMERNES
STAFF WRITER
Warmth and cheer are usual-
ly exemplified during the holi-
days and one Beach resident
has harmonized the senti-
ments in a Christmas song she
wrote.
The song has been recorded
and is being sold in some local
stores.
Barbara Hubbard, an Atlantic
Beach resident of 12 years,
began writing poetry when the
events of 9/11 "struck a chord"


and compelled her to begin
writing poems for the first time
in her life.
"They just started coming to
me," she said of the poems,
explaining that the hour
before dawn is when she is at
her most creative.
Hubbard was so inspired by'
the kindness that flourished as
people banded together to help
the victims of 9/11 and their
families that she began to write
poems.
"The hero came out in every-
, .,- Tfc :,. g'eg-.

one," she said.
Hubbard, .who has been a
Realtor for 20 years, said she
strives to exemplify the grace
and generosity :she so much
admires in others, especially
the "everyday heroes" encoun-
tered during 9/11.
"It just makes, you want to
try harder," shie said, "Our
common days catch up with
us."
For the past five years,
Hubbard said h.er writing has
become her passion and she
has written a variety of poems,
some of which have been pub-
lished. She was approached by
a recording studio to turn one
of her poems in to a song.
Hubbard selected two poems.
and sent them, in. Her song,
"There'll Always Be
Christmas," is ia testament to
her faith and reflects her out-
look on life, she said.
"Its just the feeling from my
heart. It's' what Christmas
means to me," she said.
The song begins with the
words "There'll always be
Christmas, fior there will
always be Jesus Christ," some-
*thing, which' she said she,
believes deeply and has taught
her children.
"I've always ;tried to raise my
children to r.iake sure Christ
stays in Christmas," she said.
The sorig is, not only about
Christmas, buikt it is also about
having faith, no matter where,
you are. Hul bard, whose for-
mer husband is a Vietnam vet-
eran, is deeply patriotic. One
of 'the reasons she. agreed to
work with thb recording studio
on the "Home for Christmas"
CD is that some CDs will be
sent to.soldie-rs in Iraq.
"You feel Inke you're doing a
little something," she said.
The record company chose
an artist and; Hubbard collabo-
rated with them to decide how
her song should be put to
music. The !ong is now sold in
some local stores and has been
sent to radio stations.
"I'm just thrilled to be a part'
of it," she sidd.

The Plan: Nease head coach Craig Howard ponders a 4th-and-one situation with Panthers quarterback Ted Stachitas during last
Saturday's Class 4A state championship game at Dolphin Stadium in Miami. Stachitas had been injured on second down but sat'
out only one play before returning.


High-octane offense is the calling card



of Nease High's successful head coach


"You get a maverick, you get
one kid and that starts the
pipeline going. If it works for one
kid, it works for another."
-Darrell "Mouse" Da'is

O ut of work four years'..
ago, Craig Howard
almost took a rare hia-
tus from football.
He had briefly toyed with
the thought of moving his
family cross country to take a
college coaching job in
California.
But the timing wasn't right.
With few high school, foot-
ball positions open in Florida,
Howard, a journeyman coach
since 1974, had resigned him-
self to the fact that maybe
unemployment had its bene-
fits.'
It was August 2002, six
months before Howard landed
at Nease High School; where
he is 41-10 overall with one
state title and one state run-
ner-up trophy.
"I thought I was going to sit,
out a year and study football,
but I just couldn't do that,"
Howard,.who turns 54 in
January, -recalled in a postsea-
son interview this week.
"I had to coach.; The head
football job at Apalachicola
High was open so I took it.
When I got there, the field
hadn't been cut, there were,


II L-'

only 13 kids out for football
and two dads were coaching
the Wing-T.
"I said, 'Dads, Ilove ya, but
go sit in the stands because-
I'm going to coach these boys
my way.' "
Howard's way of coaching is
to blaze down the gridiron
with a wide-open, thrill-a-
minute offense that scores in
bushels. :
It's a potent scheme that
leans heavily on the run-and-
shoot, a high-powered offense
developed in the Pacific
Northwest by former Oregon
high school coach Darrell
"Mouse" Davis.,
Howard coached against
Davis as a budding defensive
assistant in the mid-1970s at
Oregon's Roseburg High.

The Result: Howard reacts as Stachitas scores on a QB keep-
er on the fourth down play late in the third quarter.


When Howard was hired in
1981 as the defensive coordi-
nator at Portland State '
University, he was able to
study a wealth of game tapes
leftover from Davis' run-arid-
shoot regime.
The spread offense Howard
runs at Nease is the-same'one
he installed at.Apalachicola-,;-
Mandarin, and Bishop Kenny
highs between 1994-2002.
It's the same no-holds-
.barred attack he employed at
Raines in 2000 and at Edward
Waters College .in.2001, where
he served as offensive coordi-
nator.
"The origin of the whole
thing is run-and-shoot,"
Howard said this week, only
days after his top-ranked and
previously unbeaten Nease
Panthers lost 25-21 to Tampa
Plant in the Class 4A state
championship game at
Dolphin Stadium.
"I spent 25 years as a defen-
sive coach studying all the
good [offensive] stuff, and it
was really at Bishop Kenny
where I said I'm going to run
the offense this way and with
a little bit of Howard style to
it.
"At Oregon Tech [where he
was head coach from 1990-
92], I brought in Mouse Davis
and June Jones to work with
our quarterbacks because I did-
n't know how. I was a line-
backer coach. At Kenny, they
needed something to get the
kids out for football. I knew
we would have to build the
program with a offense that
had some excitement to it."
In two years at BK (1994,
1995), where his teams went
7-3 and 7-4 overall, the
Crusaders led the Greater
Jacksonville area in total
offense.
He ran the same offense at
Mandarin from 1996-99, set-
ting school records that still
stand.
But tiny Apalachicola would
be a real litmus test.
The Class 1-A Sharks would
need a major infusion of
excitement to overcome their
annual state of fall football
doldrums.
Enter Craig Howard, a start-
up specialist.
No, Howard didn't turn
Apalachicola into a overnight
state power. Far from it. The
Sharks tasted victory only
once in 10 games in 2002, but
they definitely had some bite.
The school put up some big
numbers offensively, and man-
aged at times to put much
larger opponents on the ropes.
It was the ultimate David
versus Goliath'story in Florida
high school football that sea-
son, but also a story that
nobody knew because nobody
cared about a small school in
the Panhandle with 13 players
and one coach.


Howard's statement game
came at season's; end when the
lowly Sharks, everybody's
Homecoming game that year,
traveled to Fort Walton Beach
High for a so-called "gate
game" with the state playoff
bound Vikings.
-irthdink theytp.Aida, smraea
thifgelik 1 90Q0tto play:,Anq
them," Howard fondly
recalled.
"We were a single-A school
and they were a big 4A school
playing Tallahassee Lincoln in
the playoffs the next week. We
ran the no-huddle and scored
28 points. I used every trick
play in the book."




I spent 25 years as
a defensive coach,
studying all the
good [offensive]
stuff, and.it was
really at Bishop
Kenny where I said
I'm, going to run the
offense this way and'
with a little bit of
Howard style to it.



Craig Howard
Panthers head coach

Howard threw his well-trav-
eled hat into the ring when
the Nease football job came
open in January 2003.
A few members of the Nease
selection committee ques-
tioned whether a 1-9 coach
with a wide-open offense
could turn around the for-
tunes of a Panthers program
that .was well on its way to
becoming a perennial loser.
But Howard got the job,
interesting enough on his
birthday, and then did what
he has always done: Play flat-
out on offense and treat the
players like they were his own
sons.
"So many offenses are a one-
tailback type and everybody
knows who is getting the
ball," Howard said.
"When the ball is snapped
at Nease, we're hoping you
don't know who's getting it.
And balance and tempo are
important to me.
"Balance means you can run
and pass and it also means
that you can go to this guy
and that guy. Some coaches
don't take into consideration
that there is a 25-second clock.
We have different tempos dur-
ing the game. Our goal is to
score 50 points and make the


defense throw up."
And Howard never runs a
play the same way in a game,
or in succeeding weeks for that
matter.
He's always tinkering or
window-dressing plays, always
keeping one or two set-up
plays in his back pocket for
just the right down and dis-
tance situation.
"It's not the same offense
from week to week," he added.
"Some coaches adhere to the
philosophy..that they are going
to run five plays and master
them. With us, what you see
in Week 1 is'different in Week
4.
"When you say spread
offense, it can go from A to Z.
Some are no-huddle, some are
not. Our offense has always
been no-huddle.".
Last year, Howard said Nease
took more big aerial shots
down the field. This past sea-
son, the Panthers ran a more
high-percentage passing attack
and mixed in more option
runs.
But the key is the no hud-
dle. It dictates the defense
and controls the tempo.
At Kenny, Howard ran a
more under-center spread
offense that dropped back into
the shotgun only 25 percent
of the time.
During his first three years
at Nease, record-setting quar-
terback Tim Tebow was in the
shotgun 75 ,percent of the
time. This past season with
junior Ted Stachitas at the
controls, Nease went to the
gun 90 percent of the time,
Howard added.
S"I've always been able to
adapt the offense to, the play-
ers I've got," he said.
"I didn't know we were
going to have Zach Tronti
until he showed up. I knew
what I had in Stachitas. He's a
high-percentage passer with
4.4-second speed."
Over the years, Howard has
studied different offenses to
sharpen his play-calling acu-
men. He has a vast collection
of football books in his home,
and operates it as a sort of
lending; library ;fpr the benefit
of other coaches.',-,' '. '."
And he's not shy about
swiping plays from other suc-
cessful programs.
"There are four plays that
I've taken out of Coach Urban
Meyer's offense and run the
past two years," Howard
explained.
"They've 'gotten away from
them at Florida, but I'm still
running them. When
Clemson put in its offense
under Tommy Bowden, I
spent four days up there with
Rich Rodriquez Ithen the
offensive coordinator, now
head coach at West Virginia].
"I still talk to Mouse Davis
and [former NFL head coach]
June Jones. Before Meyer
came to Florida, I was study-
ing his offense at Bowling
Green. There's even elements
of Steve Spurrier in our
offense."
Howard's spread option this
past season is a lot like what
West Virginia will run in the
upcoming Gator Bowl at Alltel
Stadium.
When Howard watches
West Virginia quarterback
Patrick White and tailback
Steve Slater, he sees Ted
Stachitas and Zach Tronti,
albeit on a different level.
When Tebow played at
Nease, he resembled
Clemson's scrambling Woody
Danzler and Tulane's Shaun
King.
And Howard had a backup
plan if Stachitas ever went
down this past season.
In his library of football
source material are tapes on
Don Markham's potent dou-
ble-wing offense.
Markham, a prep coach in
southern California, set the
national scoring record (65
points per game) in the mid-
1970s.
Howard calls the run-orient-
ed scheme "super power."
"That was our change-up
offense this season," said
Howard, whose team scored
more than 460 points in 15
games.
"We practiced it every day
for 10 minutes. We started
that back in two-a-days. We
spent 10 minutes every day
running an offense we never
used.
"We were going to go to


tight splits on the line and
hammer you with Tronti. So,
if Ted got hurt, our plan was
to set the state record for scor-
ing."
And knowing Howard, that
just might have happened.

dd, isn't it, how things
so often happen in
pairs? Just as we got a
new spy flick, 'Casino
Royale," with none other
than 007, James Bond him-
self, I found myself confront-
ed by another mystery man.
"The name is Quickly; just
Quickly," he furtively whis-
pered to me in the telephone.
"I have an upstanding career
in' the local area and I am in
no mood to lose it, so it is
best that you just refer to me
as Quickly."
That worried me; what had
I gotten into? "Of course," I
replied, as though I was Bob
Woodward talking with
Deepthroat and an entire-
government was teetering,
about to fall with Quickly's
every utterance, "Your secret's
safe with me."
This was too much; too
much danger, too much
intrigue, too much too much
for a nervous columnist just
trying to gather facts for his
next piece..
I had the feeling that my.
source would bolt; hang up
the phone and be gone, but-

tinued.

"It?" This doesn't sound

time that we've done it,"
Quickly said. Then he
uncharacteristically 'revealed
something about himself: "[

fall to me."
Then, "We are not as
organized and hard-core as
some, but we know what


we're doing and we get on
with it.
"It will go on for three or
four miles or so, who .
knows?" Quickly said. "There
will be some Stops. Some of
the Stops will be at perfectly
innocent looking establish-'
ments-restaurants, bars, that
sort of thing. But some of
them may be pre-set, like
maybe out in the woods or at
the abode of someone known
to us. The Stops could be
brief or they could be long;
maybe over half-an-hour if
we'are in the mood."
I swallowed hard and
inquired sheepishly: "What:
will be at these places that,
you call Stops?"
"That's for me to know and
you to find out," Quickly said
in a tone that made me want
to be the one to bolt. "But
this much I will tell you:
There will be beer, lots of it,
and camaraderie too, it'll
blow your mind." .,
. My knees buckled, "Oh
please don't.talk of mind
blowing; I have children!" I
thought to myself.
"You know how it started,
don't.you?" Quickly slyly
asked. "It began with a bunch
of British soldiers stationed in
Egypt years ago. It was, based
upon the old chase of the
Hare and Hounds .
"The Hare sets off with the


Hounds in hot pursuit. No
one knows which way the
Hare is going but he leaves a
'trail' of flour behind him as
goes. The Hounds must fol-
low until the "trail" leads to


not coming to the On-In; our
most magnificent, end-of-the-

And it's pure torture to miss
that."
"Right," I said. "The On-In

one of the Stops. Then, the
beer left at that Stop, must be
completely consumed before
the Hounds can go on."
He continued: "Those are
the rules. Too bad for him
that breaks the rules." '
Warily I enquired, "What
might happen to him?"
"\ell," said Quickly
emphatically, "he's definitely


sounds like real fun, in fact it
all does, but could you give..
me the details one more

Somehow I could tell he
was growing impatient: ,
"Again? All right, listen up!

Annual Christmas Hash. ,
"It starts at the FCCI Kent.
Campus at 3939 Roosevelt


Boulevard on the West side.
We are pretty loose about the
exact starting time but we're
shooting for four o'clock;

"We rendezvous on

everybody to bring ten bucks.
That covers the essential
ingredients, like beer. Tell 'em
to be prepared for a late

a good idea."
"You coming? he asked in
a rather threatening voice.
"Sure," I shakily replied. "I'll
.do everything I can to be
there, but I don't have a code
name."
Quickly quipped: "I can
think of plenty of names for
you but they're all unprint-
able. Ha! Oh, and if anyone
needs to know more about it,
tell-'em to call you, not me."
So if you are out in the
Avondale/Ortega area on the
23rd and you hear voices
yelling, "On-on!" don't think
it's Santa screaming at his

given evening's forecast, it is.
likely we will be able to pick
one up the next day and
still be prepared.
i hope your plant material
faired well, and that you
have followed through with
ample watering, especially
since it has been a warm
week thus far.
I continue to watch sod
being laid and am con-
cerned that the homeowner
is in the dark about the risks
Involved with planting at
this time of year. Be a good
neighbor and talk to them
about the necessity of daily
waterings for at least the
fust two weeks.
Today's article will again
be short. I want to offer a
few ideas for the gardener in
your life in the form of gifts.
For me, the best gift has
l'wvav. been in extra pair of
hands and feet to do some
of the jobs my husband and
1 simply are not able to per-
form any longer. And sec-
ond to that, having some-
one who can haul off plant
debris that would otherwise
form a mountain at my
curb! I live in a community
where we are not allowed to
leave yard trash curbside
except for the evening lust
prior to pickup.
Great for the neighbor-
hood's appearance, but quite
impractical, as I know many
of y'ou would agree. I miss
the ability to have a huge
compost pile where this
stuff would go; but so it
goes, and my yardman's
truckbed often,contains my
yard trash which he is then
able to take to his huge
piece of property somewhere
out there in the country.
He is a jewel and I will
not share h:m with you.
So, onto more practical
things such as gifts: Ones
that can be purchased
always include my number
one item, a pair of hand
pruners, usually the curved
anvil type. About the size of
a good pair of scissors, these
puppies do tons of work,
and if the money is spent
on a decent pair, they will
not need sharpening, will
not rust, can fit into your
pocket, and do a multitude
of tasks. They even will
chop gigantic Landlubber
grasshoppeis into bits.
Another favorite of mine
is the longer handled
pruners for branches about
an inch or larger in diame-
ter, used frequently on my
crepes, vitex and angel
trumpets, all very vigorous
growers.
The instrument is called a
lopper, and to get a'good
pair, you'll probably be
spending about $25, but it is
well worth it. These two
tools, the hand pruners and
the loppers are a must for
the gardener/homeowner.
They cost a total of $50.
Good quality steel is the
key.
Personally I like to carry a
folding, curved hand saw
which easily slips into my
pocket. It takes away the
frustration of trying to
prune a branch which is just
a tad bigger than what the


lopper can handle; you can
whip it out of your pocket

Docks decked out for parade

While the push is on to
attract more boats to the
annual Palm Valley Boat and

for a fierce yet friendly -

The parade of decorated
boats along the Intracoastal
Waterway heads north from
the Palm Valley bridge at 6-30
p.m. Saturday.
Public -iewing is available
at the bridge and three restau-
rants along the path.
Moving at a leisurely pace as
far north as Marsh Landing,
the boats making the nine- or
10-mile trek pass within yards
of numerous private docks at
properties on Roscoe
Boulevard.
And although many of the
Roscoe residents decorate for
the terrestrial half of the com-
petition, two in particular
have become known for their
dueling docks.
"We've always been decorat-

the big two, said this week of
his family's holiday tradition,
which started more than 10
years ago.

ASSOCL4TE EDITOR
"W\Ve Axe Marshall," an inspi-
rational sports film due out
Dec. 22, pays tribute to a
small West Virginia college
and its hard-luck football team
that experienced what one
journalist termed "the worst
tragedy in American sports."
Marshall University football
players, coaches and several
fans perished in a horrific
plane crash on Nov. 14, 1970.
Southern Airlines Flight 932,
a chartered DC-9, clipped a
West Virginia hillside and
crashed nose first into the
ground.
All 75 on board died.
The movie picks up the
story as Marshall attempts to
rise from the ashes with a new
coach and a few players who
were not on the ill-fated
flight.
On the 30th anniversary of
the crash. ESPN broadcast
"Remembering Marshall:
Looking Back at the Tragedy
that Touched the Nation."
The 49-minute documen-
tary, recently released as a
DV'D by ESPN Home
Entertainment, features inter-
views with surviving family'
members and several players
who helped bring Marshall
football back from the abyss.
Reggie Oliver, Marshall's
quarterback from 1971 to
1974, said teammate Larry
Sanders gave him $3 before
Sanders boarded the plane.
"Larry said, 'Have me a 6-
pack of Colt 45 ready when I
get back,' Oliver says on the
DVD.
A post-game recruiting trip
spared the life of assistant
coach Red fLawsoh, a Florida
State University graduate who
helped recruit many of the
players who lost their lives.
"The last time I saw the
players and the coaches was
outside the dressing room
after the game," Dawson
recalls.
"I was heading up to Ferrum
(Va.) [to recruit a junior col-
lege player] and they were
going back to Huntington."
Marshall's team had traveled
by plane to East Carolina
University for a game they
believed they would win.
A late field goal by the host
team dealt Marshall a crush-
ing 16-14 defeat. /
Robert Harris, whose son,
Bobby, was a quarterback,
drove down to the game with
his wife.
"We were the only parents
that made it to that game,"
Harris said.


"We sat with the boosters
who came down on the plane
and who returned on the
plane."
Harris wanted to drive his
son back to Marshall but head
coach Rick Tolley was so upset
by the loss that Harris' son
didn't have the nerve to ask
the coach if he could ride
home with his parents.
"That's the thing that
haunts me to his day," said
Robert Harris, who blames
himself for not being more
"persistent."
Florida native and defensive
back Nate Ruffin was bumped
from the flight so a booster
could have his seat. He said
the team was excited about
making its first plane trip.
On the return flight, the air-
port near Marshall was socked
in with fog and rain.
Seconds before the crash as
the plane prepared to land,
the co-pilot asks the pilot, "Is
that the approach?"
Ruffin, now a high school
football coach, helped identify
many 'of the dead.
Back at Marshall, students in
a high-rise dorm where many
of the football players lived
were fielding phone calls from
distraught parents wondering
if their sons were on the
plane.
Pay phones were ringing in
the halls and girls were
"pounding on the doors of
their dead boyfriends," sports-
writer and former Marshall
student Chuck Landon recalls.
After viewing the crash
scene, a Marshall spokesman
told the press: "I saw no sur-
vivors or evidence of sur-
vivors."
West Virginia Gov. Archie
Moore described the incident
as "a tragedy that is beyond all
comprehension."
Said local sportswriter Ernie
Salvatore: "We lost not only a
football team, but also some

Denzel plays smart copin 'Deja Vu'
Den jasarVcoui


"Deja Vu" is surely the
most ironic title of onre of
the best movies of the year.
The only way in which
this movie is formulaic is
that it resembles John
Travolta's "Blow-Out".
(1981), another Superb and
underrated thriller in which
the hero grasps at technolo-
gy to try and save a
woman's life.
Denzel Washington plays
vet another cop, but after
'Out of Time" and "The
Inside Man," what a treat to
see him play a 'smart' cop.
Here he's Doug Carlin, a
New Orleans ATF agent
called in to help find an
assassin-terrorist who set off
a bomb that killed hundreds
of people on a ferry.
Carlin is put on the case
because he has a way of
sniffing out relevant details.
This turns out to be
extremely helpful when the
New Orleans police are
shown to have technology
that can show, the where-
abouts of anybody, any-
where, three-and-a-half days
before a given event.
!* Carlin has discovered that
an innocent and now-dead
woman was a pawn in the
assassin's plot, so he has the
technologists look at her life
just prior to her death.


STEVE
BAILEY


The late woman is, of
course, too beautiful for
words, and we're given long,
loving shots in which Carlin
beholds her gorgeousness.
At this point, you figure
that the movie will be a bar-
gain-rate version of "Laura"
in which a slack-jawed cop
falls in love with a dead
woman. And you wonder
why the brilliant techno-
geeks are letting this guy use
their up-to-the-minute soft-
ware to pursue some lurid
fantasy. And it is at precisely
this point that you have
gotten it all wrong.
I can't bear to give away
any more plot points.
Suffice.to say, the cop is far
smarter than we thought,
and so is the movie a film
with extremely thoughtful
ideas, that engages its audi-


ence instead of allowing
them to be passive viewers.
The last movie I can think
of that offered so many
clever concepts to chew on
was "Contact" (and that was
10 years ago).
"Dela \u" is worlds
removed from that sci-fi
gem, yet it has the same sort
of plot twists that come out
of left field and yet seem
wholly plausible when they
add up to the bigger picture.
For once, credit goes to
everyone. To screenwriters
Bill Marsilii and Terry Rossio
for writing such a satisfying
convoluted script. To direc-
tor Tony Scott, who (like his
brother Ridley) seems to be
making better movies in his
later years than he did two
decades ago.
And to stars Washington,
Val Kilmer (his best work in
years), and just about every-
one else in the sterling cast.
Like most viewers, I put
off seeing "Deja Vu" after
seeing middling reviews that
complained how convoluted
its plot is. I think a lot of
people have forgotten that
you can engage your brain
at a movie and still have a
great time with it.
"Deja Vu" is rated PG-13
for adult language, and
graphic images of violence.

Docks: Fierce but friendly rivalry on tap


Cont. from B-1
"He [Pindili] always wins."
Pindili was not available for
comment, but the head of the
parade committee, Philip
Kelly, agreed: that Pindili may
be the one to watch.,
"Our 'big dog' is clearly"
' Angelo Pindili;"-Kelly said in
an e-mail message. "He always
does a big theme, and has won
many of our past yearss"
Holtsinger admitted with. a
chuckle that he has only won
the dock contest once.
Pindili has won almost every
year with his elaborate themes,
which change every year and
usually include people in cos-
tumes, Holtsinger said.
The competition between
the two is nothing more than a
friendly neighborhood rivalry,'
which climaxes every year
with the crowning of the best
dock decorator, Holtsinger
said.
The docks are judged, by the
contestants in the boats as
they cruise past each dock, and
a; judge's panel made tip of
people watching from the "
docks grade each decorated
boat. -
As of Monday, 28 boats were
,registered for the Palm Valley
parade, said Kelly, adding that
there may be 30 or 31 by show-
time,
'Although the parade has
grown over the years, becom-
ing the second-biggest of the,
major boat parades in
Northeast Florida, Kelly said,
organizers hope to one day be
No.. .
The Jacksonville light
parade, held Dec. 2, had 57
boats this year, Kelly said at
Monday's meeting of the Palm
Valley Community
Association.
The St. Augustine parade,
usually the second-biggest,
had 19 boats in its Dec. 9
event, Kelly said.
Boat owners are attracted by
better prizes, Kelly said,
adding, "That's what has built
the [Palm Valley] parade."
This year, the parade com-
mittee was expanded, and

requests for donations went
out to more than the usual
donors, Kelly said.
As of Monday, $7,000 had
been raised, compared with
last year's $5,000 plus $1,500
worth of gift certificates.
Last year, the first-place
boater won $1,500 and- the
first-place dock owner got
$1,000, Kelly said. This year's
prizes will be similar, he said.
All boat entrants and most
dock entrants get some kind of
.prize, he said.
One hurdle :to attracting
boats to the Palm Valley
parade has been the distance
boat. owners have to travel to
get to the parade. -
Palm Valley has no marina,
and a 'boat owner .from
Jacksonville might spend $500
to bring his or her craft to the
valley, Kelly said.
To get around that, Kellyr


said, boaters entering the Palm
Valley parade can get a free slip
at Palm Cove Marina, on the
north side of Beach Boulevard
on the west side of the
Intracoastal.
"\e need boats, and we
need people talking about-the
parade,^ Kelly sald. --
"We've advertised it as Palm
Valley's Christmas card to
Northeast Florida."
In addition to viewing at the
Palm Valley bridge, guests can
watch the parade from the
restaurant at the bridge, from
Barbara Jeans at Wards
Landing, 15. S. Roscoe Blvd.,
and at LuLu's Waterfront
Grille, 301 N. Roscoe.
Kelly said the parade should
reach LuLu's about 9 p.m. to
9:30.

"That crash humanized
Marshall. It was flesh and
blood people who lost their
lives."
From the ashes, Marshall
regrouped, hiring coach Jack
Lengyel and fielding a team of
mostly injured players who
didn't make the flight, walk-
ons and freshmen, according
to Ruffin.
The university's comeback is
the jumping off point in the
film starring Matthew
McConaughey as Lengyel and
David Strathain as the univer-
sity president.
Marshall went on to become
the winningest college foot-
ball program of the 1990s and
is the alma mater of several
NFL players, including
Jacksonville Jaguars quarter-
back Byron Leftwich.
Marshall's first game back
on the field after the tragedy
was one of storybook propor-
tions.
Years later, when the school
was winning conference titles
and college bowl games, fans
unfurled banners in the stands
that read: "From the ashes of
tragedy to the glory of cham-
pions. We are Marshall."
Oliver said the 1970 team,
mere mortals, you might say,
who have gone on to play at
the next level, lives on
"through myself and people
-like me."

12th player is the people who
died in that crash."


for a year's subscription, and
comes out every other month
with a wealth of information.
My last suggestion is a sim-
ple one: a wheelbarrow.
Yes, there are all kinds, all
expense levels, all sizes from
which to select, but every
homeowner who does any
work in the yard needs a
wheelbarrow.
Sometimes we forget the
most obvious items and go for
the specialty snazzy lights or
sparkly water fountains, but a
plain old wheelbarrow is
worth its weight in gold. .


And if you want to give the
gift that keeps you from hav-
ing to put it together, buy one
already assembled and ready
to rumble.
The list could go on and on,
but these items are the back-
bone of any gardener's stash
of stuff.
Gardening in Florida is not
an easy task. Let's keep the
challenges manageable so the
trend to go to zero lotlines
and colored stones, rubber
mulches and fancy pavers do
not eliminate all the green
spaces that we have.

of its firefighter heroes (Nicolas

"Talladega Nights: The

rejoice in Sacha Baron Cohen
'playing Ferrell's French rival.


"The Devil Wears Prada" -

maniacal fashion editor (Meryl
Streep).
"Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C 1st

who found it strange to see a

spending six years at a six-

'Quiet Earth barely makes a ripple in America


by SARAH LINWOOD
CONTRIBUTOR
licks about the end of the
world fascinate adults and
children alike.
Perhaps it has something to
do with the world's major reli-
gions, all of which recognize
some kind of afterlife or rein-
carnation...
Conjecture about. what hap-
pens when we leave this veil
of tears can't help but worry
and/or amuse: one day every
one of us will find what lies
beyond mortality. -
Over the years, there have ,
been many such films, 'the
genre perhaps reaching its
peak in the 10 years following
World War II.
People believed nuclear war
was inevitable and coming
soon. One of the best of the
end-of-the-world films, lensed
in the '80s, was titled "The
Quiet Earth."


It hardly made a ripple in
North America because it was
filmed in New Zealand; distri-
bution to both theaters and
on videotape here suffered
greatly for lack of promotional
cash. .
Now, though, Anchor Bay
Entertainment has acquired
the rights to "The Quiet
'Earth" and is selling it for $25.
.~b 'ome standacrds; it's bizarre;
despite this, it's interesting to
watch!
The flick opens slowly. The
late Bruno Lawrence wakens
one morning to an unusual
quiet. The unending sound of.
passing traffic heard from his
tiny apartment is missing; no
birds twitter in the trees.
Even the radio and televi-
sion are silent. That our hero's
apparently some kind of reclu-
sive weirdo is evident from
the opening scenes, though
exactly what kind is never


defined. Eventually, he wan-
ders outside: even if no one's
around he still has a living to
make.
Things become even
stranger on his way to work.
Planes with no one in them
have fallen from the sky.
Even a baby carriage with:
all the signs of a nearby dot-
ing mother is empty. Finally.
he arrives at his w rkplace, a
binational installation work--
ing on Project Flashlight.
Supposedly, both New
Zealand and the U.S. are
working together to keep
planes aloft 24 hours daily
without using conventional
fuel..-
Lawrence suddenly realizes
Project Flashlight has gone
ghastly wrong, perhaps even
being responsible for life's
absence.
Lawrence then wanders
aimlessly, and either mentally'


snaps or acts appropriately in
view of mankind's catastro-
phe. Suddenly, he finds he's
not completely alone: Alison
Routledge has survived too.
Later, they encounter Pete
Smith, another survivor, but
no one knows why anyone
was spared.
Unlike other disaster
moues, the trio only loosely
bonds or' the common' good.
All three cast members in
this 91-nminute, R-rated film
do a fine job; even director
Geoff Murphy, best known for
his work on "The Lord of the
Rings" trilogy, shows meticu-
lous behind-the-scenes vision.
Though unconventional,
the flick's available every-
where in addition to
vww.anchorbaventertain-
ment.com.
If you're a fan of apocalyptic
sci-fi, "The Quiet La r th" is a
flick for yoiu!

Entertaining


D dressing up your holiday table is as simple as
taking a second look at a holiday standard -
Real Butter; With the addition of a few choice
ingredients, butter can take on an unexpected
but appetizing new flavor one that is sure to
have your guests reaching for more. Flavored
butters, both savory and sweet, are perfect for spreading on
breads, melting on vegetables and embellishing the main
dish, from turkey to steak.
Use the following recipes to incorporate some of the sea-
son's most popular ingredients and flavor combinations -
from fragrant clementines and sweet pomegranate to honey
sesame and marjoram shallot.
For additional flavored butter recipes and a short video
demonstrating how to make flavored butters, visit
www.ButterlsBest.com.

Tips for Serving flavored Butters
Remember that you can make flavored butters ahead of
time and freeze them for up to one month.
Allow refrigerated crocks or containers filled with
flavored butter to sit at room temperature 15 minutes
before serving.
Refrigerate flavored butter logs until chilled solid; slice
into 1/2-inch-thick rounds and arrange on a butter dish
prior to serving.
Dress up a butter log by rolling it in colorful chopped
nuts, fresh herbs or dried fruit before refrigerating.
Present flavored butter as a delicious hostess gift wrap
it up with a holiday bow and attach your favorite ways
for using the butter.

Around the Home





Finding gifts that stand out a challenge


W hen Christmas rolls
around, finding the
gift that stands out
can be a challenge.
Over the course of this past
year, I've written topics rang-
ing from in-home massage
rooms to outdoor showers.
Many of these had items
that can help you fill out your
shopping list and some are
items I truly love. Best of all.
they re a far cry from the
usual holiday gifts.
1. Towel warmer. Just like a
swimming pool, a towel
warmer is a decadent luxury
to someone who doesn't have
one and a must-have for
someone who does. Another
plus? No more cold, damp
towels. Put your bathrobe
around it and it wjll be snug-
gly warm on a chilly morning.
1. Martha Stewart's
Homekeeping Handbook.
This weighty tome answers
everything you wanted to
know about homekeeping.
Just like the Joy of Cooking,
Martha's Homekeeping
Handbook is a good all-
around home reference book
that every home should have.
3. Massage table. If you
know someone who gets regu-
lar massages, nothing could
be better than having a per-
sonal massage table to use at
home. No more driving away
from a massage appointment
a greasy, slimy mess. A decent
table runs between $100 and
$200.
-1. Eureka Quick Up Cordless
Stick Vacuum. This is a god-
send that I use every single
dav and wouldn't live with-
out. At $29 it's a bargain for
the amount of clean it can
give you oil both hard and
carpeted floors.
5. Fun at the door.
Beautiful doors can be ruined
Sb a "ding-v" doorbell.
Instead, why not go for fun?
Musicaldoorbell.com sells a
doorbell with over 100 pro-
grammable sounds and
chimes. Live on a ranch?


KATHRYN WEBER
HOME COLUMNIST

Make your door "moo" when
someone comes. Trophy
hunter? An elephant trumpet-
ing could signal the arrival of
guests' It's fun and only
about $50.
6. Fountain. Whether it's a
simple whisky barrel or a
more elaborate waterfall, hav-
ing a fountain around the
house creates a relaxing and
enjoyable sound and they're
beautiful to look at. I have a
fountain at the front door and
in the backyard and the
minute I hear them, I relax.
7. DVR. This will revolu-
tionize the way you watch TV
- and that's not an over-exag-
geration. Simple recording is
the biggest benefit. Most can
record just by selecting a show
and pressing "R." Anyone can
do it. Check with your local
satellite or cable service or
purchase a Tivo system from
an electronics store. It's the
electronic must-have for this
year.
8. Luggage rack. If "ou have
guests often, buy a luggage
rack from your home and
linen store. They cost about
$40, but a real back saver for
your guests and they make
the guest room look neater,
too. Again, it's one of those
things that if you don't have,
it doesn't seem important. If
you do have it, you can't live
without it.
9. Custom items. Every


A massage is great but a massage at home is incredible. Put a massage table on your holiday shopping list for the massage
enthusiast in your life.


home needs something hand-
made and custom. This year
my handmade item was a
beautiful custom-sized pasta
platter ithehairypotters.comi.
Or, turn your photos into
paintings cra-pro.com,
paintyourlife.com, or check
with your local photo shop.


Custom items are extra special
and aren't as expensive as you
might think.
10. Family Handyman mag-
azine. This magazine is a
wonderful gift for both
women and men. It features
all kinds of handy things to
make, clever ideas for the


home, and even shows igulpi
women using power tools. I
look forward to it every
month as much than my
Food & \Wine magazine.
This year, put your living
space on your shopping list.
A gift for your home is always
appreciated and is more likely


to be something you'll use
regularly making it even
that more special.

Timely

Tips

by KATE WORTH
HEEL FIX Most women
have been in this predicament.
You're walking along and sud-
denly, your heel breaks off
Vour shoe. I'm always prepared
tor this eventuality. I carry a
tube of super bonding glue in
my purse. I use it to glue the
heel to the shoe. I then slip on
the shoe and apply pressure
with min foot until the heel
holds. Karen Z.
CLOTHES ENCOUNTER -
Like most kids, m- children
aren't exactly thrilled when
thev receive clothes for
Christmas or birthdays.
However, my sister came up
with a great idea. If she gives
them clothing, she slips little
goodies into the pockets, such
a, loose change, small toys, etc.
tie kids are always delighted.
Melissa C.
DINNER SHORTCUT -
W\hien I'm pressed for time and
need to get dinner on the table
in a hurry, I stop at the local
supermarket on my way home
frion work. I then pick up vari-
ous vegetables at the salad bar.
Since they're already washed
and chopped. it makes it a lot
easier for me to prepare the
meal with little fuss and cuts
down'on prep time. Ella D.
HOW SWEET IT IS It's
inevitable that honey will crys-
tallize over time. However, that
doesn't mean it's rancid. To get
the honey back to usable con-
sistency, place the unopened
jar in a pot of simmering water
(one inch over a very low
.flame After it's cool, you can
use it as you normally would.
It will take several weeks for it
to harden again, but you can
repeat the process. If you like,
use the microwave, on high, at
intermittent 10-second inter-
vals. Beatrice A.
