"I knew it was bad. I didn't know
it was this bad," David Phipps said
about the estimated number of peo-
ple living with HIV/AIDS and malar-
ia worldwide. "I'm definitely going
to do something to help."
Learning about the MDGs

"We have the science. We have

The students expressed disap-
pointment that the U.S. has con-
tributed just 0.2 percent of the
agreed upon 0.7 percent of each
nation's wealth to address the goals.
But they have confidence that
poverty, educational and health dis-

'The kids are on top of things ...
I'm very impressed," she said.
Dennis Todd, a psychologist
with the Nassau County School
District, also visited the forum.
'This generation of kids is more
aware and involved outside of them-
selves than previous generations,"
Todd said.
The generation that grew up in
the 1960s and 1970s were "more
caught up in themselves and their
own fulfillment," he said.
Young people in the current gen-
eration demonstrate a motivation
to help others, Todd said. He
describes them as "more conser-
vative" than in the past. From
Todd's perspective, they "have bet-
ter values . and fewer psycho-
logical problems."
"I think the students have done
incredibly well," Watson said.
'They've shocked me, actually. I
wasn't sure how much they would
tune into this."

That person also used it to
access Wall's personal informa-
tion, like her Social Security num-
ber, which they then used to
obtain credit in her name.
Fernandina Beach Police Capt.
Jim Coe said it is not uncommon
for people with access to the per-
sonal information of others for
example, from the customer data-
base of a business to sell it to
others, who then use it to set up
accounts in someone else's name.
Coe said such crimes are
extremely difficult to investigate
and prosecute.
An FBPD detective was
assigned to Wall's case, but Coe is
not optimistic about a happy res-
olution to what he called an
"inside job" of hacking her cell
phone account.
"Unfortunately, she's probably
got a long haul ahead of her," Coc
said of Wall's job now to re-estab-
lish her credit and clear her name
off the accounts. "... I would say
three to five years would be a min-
imum."
Wall has begun that task, but
was warned the process could be
lengthy. She continues to learn of
new ways her identity has been
violated.
Coe said unfortunately, some
kinds of identity theft including
phone hacking are difficult or
impossible to prevent, though he
said it appears Wall did take pre-
cautions.
'There are things you can do
to avoid becoming a victim," he
said. "But even that's not iron-
clad."

challenge to meet each week at noon.
The new club was chartered with 31
members that included 11 tralsfer-
ring from the original club and 21
new Rotarians or transferring from
other clubs outside the area.
The Rotary Club of Fernandina

That's the message from Sean

his latest quarterly state and region-

Snaith's report also provides a

In regards to the Jan. 29 refer-

of Save Our Homes would create a
privileged class of longtime home-
owners, similar to Dr. Seuss' Star-
-bellied Sneetches---those quirky
yellow creatures that snub their

low toasts, they have to pay higher
taxes than their neighbor forev-
er," Snaith said.
Snaith says property tax reform
has been a Sisyphean struggle for
state lawmakers, and one that
points to a larger problem of state
funding. Tax woes won't vanish
with a single vote, he says. And he
calls on the state to reexamine its
tax structure to tackle bigger
issues facing Florida's economy.
"Florida can no longer be tout-
ed as a cheap place to live or do
business and therefore we can no
longer govern on the cheap,"
Snaith said. 'The state needs to
rethink the tax structure from ttp ..
to bottom, and all possible types of
tax reform must be coInsidered,
including the dreaded income tax."
Other highlights of the report:
Florida's housing sector has
gone from an eagle to an albatross.
And Snaith says the excess hous-
ing supply will not instantaneous-
ly be absorbed as a result of cutting
interest rates or freezing

Unfinished business:
A 10p 1
Even though 2007 is drawing
to a close, there are many local
issues that have received little
resolution.
Since resolutions are a big
part of new-year planning, let's
review the status of these prob-
lematic, open-ended issues. We'll
make it a Top-10 list for ease of
planning (not necessarily in order
of importance).
1. Forest of Death. It seems
the so-called "study" phase of
resolving the saltwater seepage
from the Egans Creek Greenway
is taking longer than anticipated.
State officials are apparently hav-
ing difficulty figuring out a way to
prevent salt water from traveling
under Jasmine Street into the for-
est south of it. You can identify
the area by the gray, dying trees.
2. Hoover Dam? Not only
have state officials waffled on a
cure for the saltwater seepage,
but they've also spent a ridiculous
amount of time and money resolv-
ing another shortsighted error.
They have spent between $1 mil-
lion and $2 million resolving ero-
sion caused by the free-flowing
waters of Egans Creek.
As part of the Greenway
restoration, Egans Creek has
been allowed to flow freely under
Atlantic Avenue. A bulkhead orig-
inally constructed by state offi-
cials along the bank south of
Atlantic Avenue nearly fell down,
so they've come back with a
deluxe concrete barrier that
resembles Hoover Dam. Maybe
they didn't want to be criticized a
second time for a second error
- so they went overboard with a
new, ridiculously stout bulkhead.
3. Fernandina Beach
Waterfront. Though there have
been many hours of efforts
already put into redoing the
waterfront area at the foot of
Centre Street, much work still
lies ahead. Current plans include
an expanded marina, walkways,
parks and commercial/residential

PLACE
locations. It
can be some-
thing really
special.
4. A1A
Logjam. The
congestion
and spiraling
construction
along this piv-
otal corridor
is a pressing
issue.
Alternative
roads and
beautification
and widening
of A1A are all
possibilities.
The time to put these into action
is now.
5. Unrealistic Property
Assessments. Except for home-
owners protected by the home-
stead exemption, all others are
getting clobbered by excessive
property assessments. These
assessments determine how
much you are taxed. The over-
taxed entities include businesses,
investment properties, and com-
mercial locations.
A zealous property appraiser
is conjuring up taxable valuations
that, in the current market, are
nowhere near the prices for
which properties can sell. It is
killing local businesses and
investment properties here.
6. Local Taxes. Tax rates
here are coming down.in a
refreshing move. Most of the
reduction is due to a state man-
date for local municipalities to cut
taxes. Even though this is occur-
ring, many people will not feel the
benefit. You see, as part of the tax
equation, the tax rate is multi-
plied by the assessed value of a
property to determine your taxes
due. With soaring assessments,
even lower tax rateswill result in
little savings for local residents.
This will suffocate our local and
state economy if not addressed.
7. County Finances. While
there is still work to do,-the coun-
ty has succeeded in improving its
financial status. There is still a
mountain of long-term debt that
has to be overcome, but with
Clerk John Crawford questioning
expenditures and financial guru
Ted Selby making the numbers
work, the county's situation has
improved.
8. County Landfill. The land-
fill's outlook has improved as a
sizable debt attached to the land-
fill has been lifted. Now, the next
step is to decide how to operate it
the most efficiently and with the
most longevity.
9. Congestion. Though it's
nothing compared to urban-
sprawl areas such as Atlanta, the
traffic congestion here has steadi-
ly worsened. It will truly be
noticed as tourists continue to
gravitate here, especially during
the summer.
10. Open/Green Space. It
seems that Fernandina Beach
officials have a lot of open space
in their possession, and want to
keep it that way. It took a hard-
fought debate to approve a water
slide for the empty, sand-spur-
filled lot at Main Beach. Some
city officials wanted to preserve
their "open/green space," while
others saw a mutual benefit in a
private/public venture.
The city currently sits on
some millions of dollars of vacant
properties, which generate no
taxes and provide little public
benefit (other than providing a
place to put a sign). Since when
did the city get into the real
estate business, anyhow?

Florida Department of Transportation contractors move the remaining piles of dirt and rocks
from Egans Creek Park in an effort to make final repairs to a retaining wall separating a resi-
dence on Atlantic Avenue from Egans Creek. The project was scheduled to be finished in
December. The wall was as the result of a botched FDOT project to create a saltwater marsh in

OPINION
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2008/NEWS-LEADER
VIEWPOINT/J. CHARLES CRIPPS/FERNANDINA BEACH
Work is the only true source of wealth
The only true source of
wealth is work. The
work force, called
'"slaves" "employees" or
"work force," is the source of
wealth. People all over the USA
and the world have been falsely
taught that the true source of
wealth is invested money or
possession of the means of pro-
duction. This is not true. All
invested money originally came
from work. All means of produc-
tion require work to create and
operate them. The person who
does the investing may not be
the one who did the work, but
someone originally did do the
work.
Money merely represents
work. Money is a medium of
exchange. Money (representing
work) is exchanged for other
things.
No natural resource food,
clothing, shelter, medicines,
water, metals, oil, timber, gold,
diamonds, etc. may be gained
except by work. The work force
is absolutely essential in gaining
wealth. Any material possession
may only be. had because .some-
one worked to produce it
People have been taught that
"it is better to own the apple
orchard." This is true only if
someone plants the apples, nour-
ishes the apples and harvests the
apples. Without the work force
the orchard is useless. Wealth
cannot be had from it unless'
someone works.
A farm requires work. A
restaurant requires work. Every
product and every service
known to mankind requires
work. The work force cannot be
eliminated from the equation.
Computers and machines may
seemingly do all of the work, but
someone had to build and pro-
gram those computers, and
someone had to run those
machines. The fuel to run them
had to be gained by work.
A nation is wealthy in propor-
tion to the number of people
doing productive work.
Members of the work force
need to realize that they are the
most important factor in making
the products and performing the
services and ultimately creating
the wealth. They, and they alone,
are actually and justly entitled to
the greatest portion -of the wealth
produced. ,
In every primitive society, the
hunter ate first. This is because
sustaining his life was necessary
to continue the process of repeat-
edly gaining wealth (food) from
hunting.
Dollars, money (whether
American dollars or Eurodollars
or Chinese yuan, or coins or
are worth. You can starve to
death holding on to your posses-
sions if none of them can get you
the food that you need.
A nation may have great natu-
ral resources, but these
resources have to be turned into
value by the work people do with
them. Metal left in the ground is
worthless. Oil left in the ground
is worthless until someone
works to bring it out and to pro-
duce something with it.
The United States did not
become a great and powerful
nation because of the natural
resources found here but
because of the work people did
to put those resources to some
good use to make something,
to be of service to someone. It is
not our physical might that
makes us great, but rather what
we do with it. Bullying other
nations doesn't make us great.
The only way we become great is
by what we do that is of value to
others. It is when others value
the work we do that we become
valuable in their eyes. America is
not valuable for what it has. It is
valuable for what it does.
It is the work force in
America and what is done with
and by that work force that does
or does not make America great-
and valuable in the eyes of the
world. People who have great
gold dust) are merely a medium
of exchange representing
work.
Owning the means of produc-
tion does not mean that anything
will be produced. Only when
work is done is anything pro-
duced. So what does work bring
forth that is most valuable?
Those things that sustain life
are most valuable: food, clothing,
shelter, medicine and medical
care, water, the air we breathe.
Other things are valuable in
varying degrees. We may like
and value the glitter of gold, but
we cannot eat gold and survive.
Work is a natural phenomenon.
The true source of wealth in a
nation is the work that is done in
that nation. If people stop work-
ing, they produce nothing, they
do no service, and there is no
wealth.
Today we have ceased to
value work. We value things. We
have even come to value people
in terms of what they possess.
The ancient hunter wasn't valued
just for the results of his hunt but
also for his being able to hunt
again. It wasn't what he pos-
sessed but what he was that was
valuable. ,
People have value because
God created them. He values
them, but to themselves and to
one another their value is work
they do.
Today, people have come to
see themselves as valuable only
because of what they own. This
is not true. They are valuable
because God values them, and
we value them; they can work.
What they own was gotten by
work. It is not what they own that
makes them valuable. What they
own is valuable because of the
work that went into producing it.
You, the worker, are
immensely valuable because of
what you are and what you can
do. If you do not do anything, if
you do not produce anything, if
you do not perform any service,
you're becoming worthless.
If you are starving and you
cannot exchange diamonds or
money for food, these are sud-
denly worthless to you regard-
less of what people may say they
possessions but do nothing
worthwhile are essentially worth-
less.
The celebration of Labor
Day in the United States has
become a sad joke because of
misplaced values. Labor is
thought to have little or no
value. But this is a mistake in
thinking. Once the slave recog-
nizes how his work is being con-
trolled and its value stolen from
him, he becomes resentful and
stops working. The way to get
the maximum work out of a per-
son is by assuring that he
receives the maximum value
from his work.
Today the world is dominated
by people that own things (got-
ten through someone's work)
and who control people to extract
value from their-work. This
should not be. The people who
do the work should be the ones
who control how things are and
get the largest part of the value
from their work.
If you are a member of the
work force, start valuing what
you do, who you are, and don't
work unless you get just value
from it Working people working
together can accomplish much
more than if they seek justice
singly. The value of the work
force must be restored in our
country for it to survive.

How to cure
a hangover
The best cure for a hangover, of course,
is not to indulge in the first place.
Having failed that, the remedies range
from "hair of the dog that bit you" con-
suming more of what got you into the sorry state
you're in to replenishing what you've lost dur-
ing your indulgence -vitamins and liquids, in the
case of too much alcohol.
Too much of a good thing leads one to ponder,
as a new year dawns; lifestyle changes such as
diet and exercise. Slimming down economically
also is a good way to wear off the splurges that
beset us now, as individuals, businesses and gov-
ernments.
Our real estate industry is in the doldrums,
restaurants are closing, other businesses are
trimming hours or services and workers are los-
ing their jobs. Yet our governments, which
depend on us to finance their wastrel ways; have
yet to sober up.
Now is the-time for a set ofies.olutions to put
ui onrti'e right path.
Property values are falling, yet the property
taxes that finance our local governments are still
rising or, at least, not dropping. Yet.
But a year from now this could be very differ-
ent. These declining property values should lead
to less property tax revenue for local govern-
ments. Not to mention what Floridians may
decide about property tax reform in a state elec-
tion Jan. 29.
Sales tax revenues, another staple of local gov-
ernment revenue, also are bound to decline. As
each of us tightens our belts, we tighten govern-
ment's as well.
We haven't yet heard much talk from the city
or county commissions or school board about
what steps they're taking to cut back. In the mid-
dle of a fiscal year, the lost income is not yet
apparent.
But other local governments in Florida are .
already facing cuts in'local services, layoffs of
employees and other tough decisions. These are
likely coming our way. ,
We call on our local governments to begin
now to trim expenditures, to bolster rather than
spend reserves and to take a sharp pencil to their
budgets in advance of the gathering storm. If it is
not raining yet, the storm clouds are gathering.
Cut us off now, barkeeper. We'll thank you for
it in the morning.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Forever grateful
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you
to all the individuals and church congregations that
supported me during my tour in Iraq with the 1st
Infantry Division, U.S. Army.
There are far too many people to thank individually
in this letter as I received care packages, cards and
prayers from people in South Carolina down through
Central Florida. Your prayers lifted me up and I know
kept me safe during combat operations and periods of
physical exhaustion. For this I will be forever grateful.
As one of the fortunate ones to complete my tour
and make it back, I can assure you that your support
was appreciated and still needed for the remaining
troops.

Historic District
There is a lot of talk lately about the denial of the
Hardiboard siding replacement on a home in the
Historic District ("City needs 'compassion' in Historic
District rulings," Dec. 26), and I'd like to jump in by
offering my two cents worth on the subject.
As I can clearly see the benefit of real wood to the
historic accuracy of an old home, I can also see the ben-
efit to the owner of a cementious siding product. But
let me sit squarely on the fence here and offer a com-
promise: tax credits.
Yep. Real estate tax credits are the answer to this
dilemma. For many years the owners of these won-
derful homes have complained about the specific, his-
tory-related requirements handed down by the Historic
District Council and city commission. It was only a mat-
ter of time before a disgruntled owner and an anxious
lawyer would get together to "straighten out" this lit-
tle town! Looks like we are heading into a lawsuit now
due to this Hardiboard denial
However, we can avoid crises like this with a sim-
ple tax credit against the real estate tax. This way the
council gets their product and design of choice, and the
owner gets a break on taxes. Who would argue with
that? Plus, the added advantage is that owners would
be far more willing to use genuine materials and be less
likely to avoid the requirements if they knew that
their taxes would be reduced according to the added
expense of the HDC requirements.
To this end, I have already asked the city com-
mission to review this idea, and they have agreed to
do so. Currently, city staff is looking this over, and I am
hopeful that we can get past most of these recurring
problems and resolve a problem issue that has exist-
ed for many years.
The Historic District is a revenue-generating, job-
producing and irreplaceable asset that must be pro-
tected and preserved. I am hopeful that our commis-
sioners will help us secure this opportunity for a
solution, not just a lawsuit.

Awarding runners
Re: "Undignified" (Dec. 21).
My wife and I have been participating in running
races for many years. Since she is very competitive, she
often faces the situation the letter writer described
where she is the fastest Masters woman (over 40),
fastest Grandmasters (over 50) and also fastest in her
65-69 age group.
In the letter writer's opinion she should receive
all three awards.
She doesn't see it that way. She has chosen to con-
tinue her training regimen so that she still performs
almost as well as when she was younger. Therefore,
she feels that she is competing with all the women in
the race, not just her age-group peers.
Many older men and women may just be getting
into running to improve their general fitness and are
encouraged if they can win one of the seniors awards.
They would certainly be discouraged if all the awards
for older men and women were snatched up by the
"hotshot" seniors.
When my wife attends one of the few races where
duplicate awards are given, she feels embarrassed
and advises the race directors that it shouldn't be
done that way. She feels that each runner should
receive only the highest award to which they are enti-
tled so that others can also have the satisfaction of win-
ning an award.

'Little Duck' is king of the pond
PAT FOSTER-TURLEY/FORTHE NEWS-LEADER
A male hooded merganser's white hood is distinctive among the reddish heads
of the females, above. Pied-bill grebes, below, are smaller than mergansers and
usually solitary.
It's winter again and the ducks are
back. Many of our freshwater
retention ponds this time of year
become host to flocks of hooded
mergansers, unmistakable with the
large reddish crests of the females, and
flashy white "hoods" of the males.
Most ponds, that is, except for ours.
Our pond is a one duck pond.
Again this year our "Little Duck"
reigns over this choice domain. Little'
Duck is not really a duck. He/she is a
pied-billed grebe, a smaller floating
bird, with lobed toes and not webbed
duck-like feet. Every winter for years
now, this grebe, or another one just
like it, moves into our pond. With noth-
ing to identify a male from a female,
and very little distinctive coloration at
all, our winter resident grebe is always
"Little Duck" to us.
Little Duck may be small but what
Little Duck lacks in size is more than
made up for with courage. As long as
this little bird is around no other swim-
ming bird is allowed to move into the
pond.
The large white great egret, the
even larger great blue heron and the
diminutive little green heron are
allowed to fish along the pond banks.
Little Duck pays them no heed.
. But when the hooded mergansers
try to move in, most winters our resi-
dent Little Duck springs into action.
One year I watched as Little Duck
slipped underwater and snuck up on a
flock of mergansers. The poor'befud-
dled mergansers didn't know what hit
them Little Duck was biting their feet
underwater. With my binoculars across
the pond I watched as the mergansers
franticly lifted their feet one after
another in obvious distress, and before
long took off in flight, never to return
to this pond again.
This year it was
Bucko who got to
watch the excite-
ment when a single
male merganser
tried to set up shop
in the pond. For a
couple of days, the
male merganser
pat stayed on one side
of the pond, far
Foster-Turley away from Little
- ... Duck. But, one day
WILD WAYS the merganser
cruised into the
middle of the
pond, and that was his downfall. Across
the other side of the pond, Bucko
watched as Little Duck quietly sunk in
the water out of sight. (Grebes like
Little Duck are one of the few water
birds that can adjust their buoyancy
and sink without diving.) Moments
later the merganser flapped off into
startled flight and right where he had
been up popped Little Duck, king of
the pond again.
Every winter we look forward to the
first sighting of whatever pied-billed
grebe gets to our pond first, the Little
Duck of the year.
SWith all our Little Duck watching
over the past seven years, you can
imagine how fond we are of pied-billed
grebes. Yes, the hooded mergansers
are more beautiful, there's no doubt.
But as far as entertaining animal,
behavior goes, nothing can compare to
our feisty Little Duck..
Except that is, for the otters. One
morning a couple of months ago, the
Three Stooges trio of river otters visit-
ed. the pond -(Wild Ways, Nov. 7) and
Little Duck was already in residence.
Oh no! Otters eat grebes! Talk about
torn emotions. Otters, as everyone
who knows me knows, are my favorite
animals. I love otters. But pied-billed
grebes, and especially our own Little
Duck, have a firm place in my heart
too.
With binoculars in hand, and a
determination not to interfere with
nature, I held my breath and watched
the action. The otters circled the
pond, catching crayfish along the
banks, and the grebe, well, I needn't
have worried. Little Duck knew just
what to do.
With no telltale ripple to betray its
presence, Little Duck quietly sank out
of sight in the middle of the pond. The
otters were oblivious, busy catching
prey of a different sort. While the
otters were in the pond, maybe 15 min-
utes or longer, Little Duck disappeared
entirely.
I knew that Little Duck could not
hold his breath for that long, and the
otters on the pond's edge did not flush
him out so where did he go?
Only when I reread my bird behav-
ior books did I learn the secret. Not
only can pied-billed grebes submerge
without a trace, when hiding from
predators they can also stay sub-
merged with just their beak above
water.
Even after seven years of pied-billed
grebe watching, each winter holds a
new discovery. Other retention pond
homeowners catn admire your hooded
mergansers. As.fo'r.me, I'm happy with
my Little Duck.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2.2008 NEWS News-Leader
This was written by Shannon
Malcom of the News-Leader from
oral and written reports by the
Nassau County Sheriffs Office, the
city of Fernandina Beach Police
Department and other agencies.
Arrest indicates suspicion ofa crime,
not guilt.
Anyone with information about
criminal activity can contact the
Fernandina Beach Police
Department at 277-7342 or the
Nassau County Sheriff's Office
anonymously by calling 225-0147
in Yulee and Fernandina Beach or

Robber kicked in groin
A man attempted to rob a Yulee
business office on US 17 on Dec.
19; he did not appear to be armed.
A female employee at Amelia
Island Graphics, 850895 US 17, told
police she was "finishing up some
work" when she heard the back
door open. She asked who was
there and when she did not get an
answer, went to the back door and
found a white man standing inside
with a shirt wrapped around his
head and face.
He said, "Give me the money,"
and she kicked him in the groin,
ran from the office and called 911,
according to a report from the
Nassau County Sheriff's:Office.
The employee said the back
door was unlocked but the suspect
had to force it open because it was
stuck. The incident is under inves-
tigation.
Inmate charged
Removing 'his jail-issued arm-
band resulted in criminal charges
for a 36-year-old inmate at the
Nassau County Jail.
James Alton Johnson of 2295
Dawson Road, Yulee, was arrested
Dec. 20 after a Nassau County
deputy noticed he was not wearing
his armband. It was found in his

told any attempt to remove the
band would be considered .an
attempted escape from the jail.
Johnson is charged with

a deadly weapon.
According to police, Kubiak
went to the victim's home over a
child custody issue; when he told
Kubiak she was not allowed on his
property, she drove her car for-
ward and struck him.
"The victim was forced onto the
hood and (Kubiak) continued to

getting hot
onjags as
playoffs
approach
O K, Jags fans, you
wanted national
respect and now
you've got it. As of
Dec. 28, only three teams -
New England (duh), Indiana-
polis and Dallas- were rated
ahead of Jacksonville in both .
the cbssportsline.com and
espn.com power rankings.
Sports.aol.com had the Jags
rated No. 2, just behind the
Patriots.
The hot topic on sports
radio is that if mighty New
England is to fall this season,
Jacksonville might be the
team to take Tom Brady and
company down. On various
Internet sites, the boys in teal
are being pinned as a "team of
destiny" and "the hottest team
in the NFL."
The next few weeks will
determine whether the Jags
will be remembered as a pass-
ing fancy or a true power-
house. A win in the first round
this weekend legitimizes the
hype and sets the stage for
next season. A second-round
victory over the Patriots earns
Jacksonville an eternal spot in
NFL annals...
With all the above said,
don't go to Vegas just yet.
Because an NFL expert,
moonlighting as a super cen-
ter cashier, assured me the
Jags would have absolutely
zero chance of defeating the
Patriots should the two match
up in the second round.
It's a good thing the NFL
strategically places insiders in
the most covert places or
we would all be less enlight-
ened ...
University of Miami QB
Kirby Freeman has reportedly
been released from his schol-
arship with the 'Canes and will
look to transfer to a college
closer to Texas, his home
state. The problem is, he has a
big "U" tattooed on his back.
Now how will that go over
with his new teammates?
Sure, Freeman could have
expensive surgery to remove
the design but he still might
have a U-shaped scar to
remind him of his time in
Coral Gables. So why not get
creative and have tattooed let-
ters added to and around the
"U," not only to avoid going
under the laser but also to
express his feelings about
wasting two years of eligibility
in Miami? How about
"Unfortunate mistake,"
"Unappreciated" or
"Underutilized?"
Seriously, Freeman's
departure from Miami seems
like a raw deal handed a guy
who, by all accounts, sold out
for his team. Word has it that
Miami plans to open up the
quarterback competition next
spring and Freeman wasn't
part of those plans.
Maybe it's for the best.
After all, the 'Canes don't
exactly resemble a program
on the rise and Freeman
would likely have taken the
i brunt of the criticism if things
continued to head south the
next two seasons.
Still, there's the "U" tattoo
to consider. Maybe Freeman
can view his transfer as a res.
cue and include the "U" in the
phrase "Jumped Ship."...
Next Monday's BCS
Championship game between
LSU and Ohio State might be
the final barometer to either
S validate or dismiss the notion
S that SEC teams, from top to
S bottom, are faster than Big 10
S (two) teams.
The topic has been a hot
one ever since the University
S- of Florida ran over, around
and by the Buckeyes to easily
capture last year's title. I'm
predicting similar success for
LSU. Speed kills, and the
Tigers have more of it.
Prediction: LSU 34, OSU 17.

2006's winless season. But the Pirates didn't settle for just
one win. They collected eight en route to an 8-3 overall
record and made the playoffs for the first time since 1995 -
when current Pirate quarterback Emory Wingard was just
five years old.
"Our goal was to make the playoffs," said Wingard,
Nassau County's most valuable player for 2007. "But before
the season started, I didn't really know."
Wingard, 17, ajunior at Fernandina Beach High School,
said it started sinking in after win No. 3 -the Pirates won
their first six games, the best start for the FBHS program
since 1962. They lost just two games during the regular
season and advanced to the first round of the playoffs. South
Sumter High brought the season to an abrupt halt.
"It was exciting to be there," Wingard said. "I just wish
we could have done better. It was a long ride home."
After going 0-10 in 2006, Wingard said winning felt pret-
ty good.
"That made it a whole lot better, not winning a game
last year then turning it around and only losing three," he
said.
Wingard said he was especially pleased with wins over
Keystone Heights and Bishop Kenny. Despite routs at the
hands of Bolles and South Sumter, Wingard said he regrets
that first loss of the season to West Nassau by a point.
'That one hurt," Wingard said.
Wingard is already preparing for his senior season.
"I've got to learn how to read coverages better, read
what the defenses are doing to me," he said. "I've got to work
on that. Work on my footwork. I can always improve that.
"We're looking to make it back to the playoffs. We're
going to work hard to make it back to that point and we're
going to work even harder to do well once we get there."
Wingard, who started his career as a lineman at Yulee
Middle School, switched to quarterback a year later in the
Pop Warner league. He returned to the YMS squad his
eighth grade year and remained in the QB spot.
"I've been playing quarterback since," he said. "I guess
I just stuck with it."
Good thing. Wingard (5-foot-1l 1/2 and 180 pounds) put
up impressive numbers for the Pirates this season. He com-
pleted 97 of 183 passes for 1,527 yards and 19 touchdowns
with just eight interceptions. He also scored a pair of rush-
ing TDs.
"I give credit to the line," Wingard said. "They improved
a whole lot from last year. Our receivers stepped up a lot and,
with the help of the line,we had a running game this year."
Wingard is still nursing an injury a slight separation
of his shoulder sustained the ninth game of the season
against Ribault.
"He finished the season with it," FBHS Coach Ed "Puggy"
Brown said. "All season long he got beat up and he stayed
in there."
"I'm going to try to do weightlifting this year if my shoul-
der gets better," Wingard said.
Otherwise, he'll be idle until spring football season when
he and his teammates return to the gridiron to get ready for
2008.
Pirate quarterback Emory Wingard threw for
1,527 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.
"He's going to push us so we can top 2007," Wingard said
of Brown. "We have a big group of juniors coming back
and the core of our defense too. The offensive line was half
and half with juniors and seniors. We have a few sopho-
mores and they'll be stepping in to fill holes."
Wingard was named the offensive player of the year for
FBHS.
"Emory is an excellent student and athlete," Brown said.
"He really grew up a lot and showed a lot of maturity. He
worked extremely hard in the offseason. He handled the
pressure very well. We couldn't have gotten as far as we did
without him.
"Our goal was to get to the playoffs. Nowwe have to win
a playoff. That's our goal."
And Wingard will be back to help steer the Pirates
towards that goal.

Bill Roberts,
Jim Crews
and Jim
Tuten, from

in the largest
king macker-
el during the
25th annual
Nassau
Sport
Fishing
Association's
Tournament
of Cham-
pions king-
fish tourna-
ment. The
winning
mackerel
weighed
39.02
pounds.
Redfish, wahoo
top the action
for 2007 season
"I believe the redfishing was best in 2007," Don
Whitman said. "At least the. majority of my tackle
shop customers were purchasing fishing tackle
directly related with redfishing. And they would
often return with some pretty good redfish stories."
You couldn't argue the point that some of the
best fishing during the 2007 fishing season came
from several large schools of redfish that made
their home in Amelia Island waters.
"I can't think of a better fall
run of redfish," Robert Walker
said. "We caught and released
several reds measuring over
50 inches during the peak of
the fall run, which lasted right
up into early December."
However, many fishermen
will contend that the wahoo
fishing offered the best fishing
action during the 2007 fishing
season, particularly during Terry Lacoss
winter and fall. In fact, when ...
weather permitted, blue water
fishing boats were catching up OUTDOORS
to 10 wahoo per trip at
Northeast Florida's Big Ledge and several big
wahoo were landed busting the 80-pound mark.
During the sixth annual Bluewater Shootout
Fishing Tournament, the largest wahoo weighed
just 3L26-pounds and was caught by the "N-tropic,"
captained by Benny Hendrix. The sports fishing
boat "X-Stream" captured first-place honors in the
popular event. The team included Tim Kauffman,
George Lawrence, Howard Murphy and Larry
Gove.
Fernandina Beach did not have a really big run
of kingfish in 2007. In fact; during the 25th annual
Nassau Sport Fishing Association Tournament of
Champions kingfish tournament, many of the big
money king mackerel were either caught far off-
shore or south along the Jacksonville beaches.
Jim Crews, Bill Roberts and Jim Tuten weighed
in the largest kingfish during the popular event
while fishing off Jacksonville's beaches. Their win-
ning king mackerel weighed 39.02 pounds.
Bear Croft captained his "Bear Caught" fishing
team to first-place honors during the Greater
Jacksonville AT&T Kingfish Tournament while
weighing in a 48.6-pound kingfish. Also on board
were Debby Portier, Rick Dopson and Ed
Mecchella. During the 2005 Jacksonville kingfish
tournament, Croft took second-place honors.
Kenny Crawford and the "AT&T Real Yellow
Pages Fishing Team" also won big in 2007, captur-
ing the St. Augustine Kingfish Challenge and the
Darien, Ga., Kingfish Tournament. Team members
included Doreen, Trip and Hunter Fletcher.
-""_-Once-agaitnmany of-the winning-tottrnament-'
kingfish were taken from the popular Elton Bottom
and the Nassau live bottom. During the heat of the
kingfish season, including the months of June and
July, a good run of king mackerel staged at the
many nearshore fish havens. These were schooling
kingfish, weighing from 8-15 pounds. However,
there was a big void of kingfish along the beaches
of Amelia Island and at the St Marys inlet.
Drum fishing was also excellent in 2007 with
Robert Haddock weighing in the largest black
drum during the NSFA's annual Drum Fishing
Tournament There were a record number of
entries in 2007, but none bested Haddock's 88.42-
pound black drum.
Greg Nissen weighed in the largest sea trout
during the NSFA annual Les Sutton Memorial
Trout Tournament. The big speck weighed 3.52
pounds. Bruce Comrie weighed in the largest
speck, 3.5 pounds, during the annual Knox Wyatt
Memorial Trout Tournament. Trout fishing was
also excellent during the 2007 sea trout season,
producing excellent catches of 2- to 3-pound sea
trout
All in all, it was a good fishing season in 2007
with the lack of hurricanes and tropical storms.
Water temperatures also remained stable without
fish-repelling thermoclines.
More fishermen were practicing catch and
release during 2007. Along with better fish manage-
ment programs, Amelia Island fishing can only get
better.

New fees for licenses
A new fee schedule is in effect
for all recreational licenses
issued by the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation
Commission. During its 2007
session, the Florida Legislature
passed a bill to increase the fees
for all recreational saltwater and
freshwater fishing and hunting
licenses. Hunting license fees
were last increased in 1979 and
fishing license fees in 1989.
All the fees from these licens-
es go back into conserving fish
and wildlife resources and bene-
fit anglers and hunters. The
increased revenue, expected to
total $10 million annually within
four years, will not create new
programs, but will offset a pre-
dicted $12.5 million deficit by
2010. In addition to issuing the
licenses, FWC is charged with
directly conserving fish and
wildlife resources, and it creates
and enforces rules and regula-
tions regarding hunting and fish-
ing in the state as well as promot-
ing boating safety and access.
FWC presented its findings to
the Legislature earlier this year.
The projected deficit would leave
revenue streams for marine fish-
eries, freshwater fisheries and
hunting in jeopardy.
Purchase recreational licens-
es online at MyFWC.com, or by
calling 1-888-347-4356 or 1-888-
486-8356, or from numerous
sporting goods retailers and at
tax collectors' offices. If licenses
are not purchased at tax collec-
tors' offices, additional process-
ing fees will be applied.

Kingsley celebrati(
set for February
For the News-Leader _: T-:- --.- _T'__"__T_
After nine years as an annual
October event, the Kingsley
Heritage Celebration has moved
to February.
The public is invited to join
the staff at the Timucuan
Ecological and Historic
Preserve in Jacksonville for the
10th annual Kingsley Heritage
Celebration each Saturday in
February. Each weekend will
feature a special afternoon
event, beginning Feb. 2 with the
"Other War of 1812" with Dr.
James Cusick, curator of the P.
K Yonge Library of Florida
History at the University of
Florida.
A highlight of the event
series will be a descendants'
reunion on Feb. 23, which is
open to the public.
Sponsored by the National
Park Service's Timucuan
Ecological and Historic
Preserve and the Florida
Humanities Council, the event
series is free and open to the
public.
The goal of the Kingsley
Heritage Celebration is to help
the local community explore cul-
tural traditions found in modern
American society that originated
during the plantation period.
According to Timucuan
Preserve Superintendent
Barbara Goodman, "We are very
excited to move the Kingsley
Heritage Celebration to
February and Black History
Mohth. Each Saturday afternoon
throughout February the pre-
sentations will offer unique
insight into both the lives of the
enslaved men, women and chil-
dren who toiled here on Fort
George Island as well the lives
of the owner's families, includ-
ing the Kingsley family. History
will be brought alive through a
wide variety of entertainment.
The month-long celebration will
culminate with a rare opportuni-
ty to hear from descendants of
the people who lived at Kingsley
Plantation. Descendants will
gather with the public on the
last Saturday to share family sto-
ries."
The schedule includes story-
telling, music, genealogy talks,
historical presentations, special
In
SFeb.2- Learn about the "Other War o
Cusitck curator of the P. K. YonQe Library
exhibits, and a descendants'
reunion.
Kingsley Plantation is a unit
of the National Park Service's
46,000-acre Timucuan
Ecological and Historic
Preserve in Jacksonville. It is
named for Zephaniah Kingsley
(and his African wife Anna), who
owned and operated a 1,000-acre
plantation there during the first
half of the nineteenth century.
Today, the public can visit the
grounds, which include Florida's
oldest standing (1798) plantation
house, kitchen' building, barn
and waterfront. The still-stand-
ing remains of 25 slave cabins
offer perhaps the most graphic
evidence of slave living quarters
and daily life experiences in the
state, if not the South.
Located off Heckscher
Drive/AlA one-half mile north
of the St. Johns River ferry land-
ing, Kingsley Plantation is open
daily at no charge from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. For more information,
call (904) 251-3537 or visit

Veterans project explores
Air War in SoutheastAsia
For the News-Leader
The Amelia Island Museum of
History Heroes Among Us
Luncheon Program Series,
Program 9: "Air War in Southeast
Asia" featuring Col. Mickey
Baity, United States Air Force,
retired, will be held Jan. 24 at St.
Peter's Episcopal Church, Eighth
Street and Atlantic Avenue,
Fernandina Beach.
Lunch begins at 11:15 a.m.
and the program at noon. Tickets
are $20 per person and include
buffet lunch and program.
Proceeds benefit the museum's
Veterans
History
Project
and the
Episcopal
Church
Women.
The
event is
open to
the public.
Reservations and advance pay-
ment are required by Jan. 18.
Call 261-7378, ext. 100, for more
information or to make reserva-
tions.
Baity served in Southeast
Asia from 1968-72. First assigned
to F-4's flying out of Cam Ranh
Bay, he flew missions into North
Vietnam, Laos and Thailand and
worked closely with Special
Forces.
By 1970, he was on his sec-
ond tour flying with the 8th
Attack Fighter Wing, 433rd
Squadron also known as the
Pay Boy Squadron. His third and
final tour in Southeast Asia was
with the 4th Tactical Fighter
Wing. During his Southeast Asia
tours he flew more than 3,000
hours on 413 missions. Baity will
speak about his experiences dur-
ing this eventful period of
American military history.
Even as a young boy, Baity's
goal in life was to become a fight-
er pilot. He completed his under-
graduate degree and ROTC train-
ing at University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill in three
years, fearing that any more time
spent in school might cause him
to miss the Vietnam War.

Vietnam War, above, and today, inset. The retired pilot now
lives on Amelia Island and will speak about his experiences
during the war on Jan. 24 at St. Peter's Episcopal Church as
part of the Amelia Island Museum of History Heroes Among
Us Luncheon Program Series.
In 1966 he received his Air
Force commission and immedi-
ately began training to fly fighter
planes. During three tours and
413 missions in Southeast Asia
between 1968-72, Baity flew F-4s
out of South Vietnam's Cam
Ranh Bay and Ubon, Thailand.
His missions welte varied. He
flew close air support; he
dropped "Pay Boys," early laser-
guided bombs; and he also flew
chaff drops to distract enemy
radar.
Following his service in
Southeast Asia, Baity returned to
the United States for additional
training and duty as an instruc-
tor. He went on to serve several
security assistance assignments
with foreign air forces, including
those of Iran, Kenya, Egypt and
Jordan. In 1987, Baity returned
to the United States for an
assignment serving on the
Secretary of Defense's Staff on
Policy on the Middle East, Near
East and South Asia. In that posi-
tion, his assignments were varied
and included working with many
familiar civilian defense leaders,
including Richard Armitage,
Caspar Weinberger and Richard
Cheney.
He retired from the Air Force
in 1992, working briefly as a con-
sultant on disarmament talks as a
civilian. Baity and his family
