'Tree law
doomed
again
MICHAEL PARNELL
News-Leader
It's back to the drawing board
for a proposed tree protection law
following a series of public hear-
ings hosted by Nassau County
Commissioners.
Four commissioners made plain
during the public hearings, the last
one Feb. 21 in Fernandina Beach,
that they want no part of a law that
restricts small private property
owners' right to cut trees in unin-
corporated Nassau County. The
city of Fernandina Beach has such
a law, and there are limits in unin-
corporated Amelia Island.
Commissioners Tom Branan,
Jim B. Higginbotham, Barry
Holloway and Marianne Marshall
all have voiced support for some
kind of tree ordinance, but not this
one. Mike Boyle, co-chair of a com-
mittee that spent six months com-
ing up with the proposal, said he
was disappointed with the outcome..
The committee will meet again
and seek compromise language.
"It might be limited to parcels
under development on major road-
ways," Growth Management
Director Walter Fufidio said
Wednesday.
Commissioners have com-
plained about the cleaircutting of
trees to make way for shopping
centers along A1A, for example,
but the public hearings were dom-
inated by West Side residents who
wanted no part of a law to limit

Community Newspapers
Nassau County Commissioners
approved Monday increasing the
size of the county planning and zon-
ing board from eight to 11 mem-
bers.
The quorum for the flew board
to take action on matters before it
will be six members.
Five of the appointees will serve
in an "at-large" capacity, with no
residential restrictions; five will rep-
resent each of the county's political
geographic districts; and one will
represent the school board.
Appointees now will "serve at
the will of the board" in an effort to
help ensure that those appointed
are informed of zoning procedures.
"I want to make sure that every
person sitting on that board is pay-
ing attention, they understand and
they participate," said Commission
Chair Marianne Marshall. She
cited concerns about absenteeism
and performing other work during
meetings.
"If I hear of one being more
interested .in other things, doing
other work, they should be imme-
diately terminated. That is how
important that position is," said
Marshall.
Vice Chair Mike Boyle shared
the concern, saying, "If there is an
issue with absences I would replace
them quickly."
Commissioners are looking at a
pool of candidates from among
applications submitted to the coun-
ty.
The planning board's size was
reduced from nine members to
seven in 2004 because absenteeism
frequently prevented it from having
a quorum. It then became- eight
members when the school board
representative was added, poten-
tially thwarting the board from

A$1.2 million reduction in funds
this.year has prompted Nassau
County Schools Superintendent
John Ruis to impose financial con-
straints throughout the school dis-
trict
Ruis issued to all principals,
directors and coordinators a Feb.
12 memorandum outlining restrict-
ed operational and purchasing pro-
cedures, effective immediately, "in
anticipation of budget adjust-
ments," he said.
"It doesn't look like it's going
to be a good year financially," he
told the school board Feb. 14. Next
year there will be "personnel and
staff reductions as a result of the
shortfalls we're anticipating."
The clamp down comes after
the district "absorbed a 2 percent,
or approximately $1.2 million
reduction in funds from the initial
2007-8 legislative appropriation,"
Ruis wrote.
The district anticipates a sec-
ond 1.25 percent, or $900,000,
reduction in early March.

Restoring family is key to success

She grew up in Yulee sur-
rounded by a large extended fam-
ily.
Members of that family sur-
rounded Joanhe Mitchell Martin
again on Saturday when she
returned home to serve as speak-
er for the Nassau County Com-
munity Development Corporation's
28th annual Peck Community
Banquet.
"Restoring the Family" was the
focus of this year's event that ben-
efits the organization's scholarship
fund.
Martin, co-founder and execu-
tive director of The National Great
Blacks in Wax Museum in
Baltimore, Md., told the gathering
"blacks have a strong helping tra-
dition."
Traditions serve as a guide to
the ancestors' expectations, Martin
said. "Our ancestors definitely
wanted us to help one another."
That tradition emphasizes the
importance of the collective above
that of the individual. "We, and not'
I, was the law of African life,"
Martin said.
The NCCDC remembered two
of its dedicated supporters, Ele
Colborn and Cassandra Mitchell,
who died last year.
Mitchell had served as the city
of Fernandina Beach's first black
city clerk. Colborn chaired the
city's ad hoc Peck Committee and
became a central figure in the
restoration of Peck High School,
the former segregated school for
black students. The building cur-
rently serves as a community cen-
ter.
"Her leadership is truly
missed," NCCDC executive direc-
tor Annette Myers said.
Colborn was "a dedicated,
courageous and devoted chairla-
dy"who "worked most sincerely in
the interest of Peck High School,"
Myers said.
Martin played basketball and
graduated valedictorian of her
Peck High class in 1965. She later
received a bachelor's degree from

EMBEZZLE Continued from 1A
the help of her daughter had been
writing business checks to herself
and depositing them into her per-
sonal bank account while telling
her employer she was spending
the money on supplies for the busi-

this for six years, to the tune of
about $5,000 to $10,000 a week.
Ogletree's daughter, 20-year-old
Amanda Renee Coker of 76525 East
Johnson Lake Road in Yulee, was
not an employee of the nursery,
but she had a key to the business
and was known to come in and help
her mother with office chores.
What she was also helping her
mother do, according to investiga-
tors, is cover her tracks. Seagraves
said Coker would delete financial
files from the company computer
"in an effort to conceal Ogletree's
crimes."

Ogletree reportedly embezzled
about $600,000 over the course of
six years, and stole another
$350,000 in cash.
"On the embezzlement side, she
would go to the owner to get blank
checks signed and tell him it was

then she would make the check
out to herself and deposit it into

on the stealing side, she was just

Coker was arrested in Yulee and

NOTICE FROM TAX COLLECTOR
John M. Drew
Nassau County Tax Collector
96135 Nassau Plaece
Yulee, FL 32097
www.nassautaxes.com
Wednesday, February 29, 2008
Dear Taxpayers:
Though many taxpayers may not be aware of it, Florida Law provides that prop-
erty owners may pay their property taxes by an installment method. The proce-
dure, as outlined in Statute 197.222, provides that you may elect to break your
taxes into four payments.
There are some requirements. For example, the estimated tax must exceed
$100. Like the regular annual tax billing process, the installment method provides
for discounts on taxes due:
First Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimated taxes dis-
counted at 6 percent.
Second Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimated taxes
discounted at 4 1/2 percent.
Third Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimated taxes, plus
or minus, as the case may be, one-half of any adjustment pursuant to a
determination of actual tax liability discounted at 3 percent.
Fourth Installment Payment: One quarter of the total estimated taxes,
plus or minus, as the case may be, one-half of any adjustment pursuant to
a determination of actual tax liability. No discount.
The deadline for applying for the installment method is April 30, 2008. Please be
advised that you would be applying for an installment plan relating to the upcom-
ing 2008 Tax Roll, which will open on November 1st. (Your application would not
affect taxes that were due as of November 1, 2007, which is the current Tax
Roll.)
To apply please visit or call the Tax Collector's Office or email: jwhite@nas-

At least two Nassau County offi-
cials are receiving pensions from
previous county employment while
earning salaries from current coun-
ty jobs.
Clerk of Court John A.'
Crawford and his deputy, former
clerk of court Jerry Greeson, were
the only two county officials listed
among state public officials draw-
ing retirement checks while they
continue to earn paychecks from
taxpayers.
The-St.-Petefs-ir-gTimes news-
paper this week named more than
400 elected officials or senior man-
agement public employees --taking
advantage of a loophole carved into
the state retirement law a few years
ago that allows double dipping -
.collecting a state pension while still
getting a regular paycheck from
taxpayers."
The Times said more than 7,763'
regular state employees collect
retirement benefits and full-time
paychecks.
The cost to the state retirement
fund was more than $300 million
last year, according to the story
written by Times senior corre-
spondent Lucy Morgan.
According to the Times list
online, Crawford earns $72.40 a
Crawford Greeson
month in retirement pay on top of
his $104,462 annual salary. That
relatively meager amount was
earned by Crawford during his
service as a county commissioner
for eight years.
.Greesoh earns $4,680.47 in
retirement pay each month. He
was clerk of court or deputy clerk
of court for almost 40 years before
his retirement Jan. 1, 1997. He
returned as Crawford's deputy
three years ago and earned $81,314
in salary in 2006-7.
According to the Times, law-
makers quietly amended a retire-
ment bilLon the last day of the reg-
ular session in 2001 to allow elected
officials to receive retirement ben-
efits as well as regular pay while
remaining in the same job.

Legislature.
Former Nassau tax collector
Gwen Miller took advantage of that
provision before her retirement
two years ago.
Most state employees getting
a salary and a pension are enrolled
in the state's Deferred Retirement
Option Program, called DROP. It
was created in 1998.to encourage
retirement of senior employees to
make room for advancement by
younger, lower-paid employees.
To enter DROP, employees who
reach retirement age or 30 years of
employment agree to retire within
five years. When they leave the
program they usually collect hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in
deferred compensation.
Among the double dippers cited
by the Times, the top moneymak-
er is Miami Dade Community
College president Eduardo J.
Padron. On May 31, 2006, he ter-
minated his participation in DROP,
collected $893,286 in lump sum
benefits and began receiving
$14,631 a month in retirement pay.
He still collects his annual salary of
$328,860, the Times reported.
The newspaper said six state
senators and 10 House members.
receive state pensions based on
longtime government employment
. plus annual salaries of $31,000 for
work as part-time lawmakers.
Twenty-two sitting judges are
double dipping, including Supreme'
Court Justice Harry Anstead.
When the newspaper asked for
a list of elected officials and senior
management officers who are dou-
ble dipping, the state Department
of Management Services said'
retiree lists are exempt from the'
public records law. But Gov.
Charlie Crist ordered the list
released.
When officials choose an invest-'
ment plan instead of a pension and
deferred compensation, the law'
exempts all information from the'
public record. That left the Times'
unable to identify benefits received'
by about 45 of the state's double
dippers.

43,740 registered
voters in Nassau
MICHAEL PARNELL
News-Leader
There were 43,740 registered
voters in Nassau County on
Wednesday, fewer than those reg-
istered for the general election in
November 2006.
But the number that is regis-
tered to vote this November likely
will be higher than the 44,032 reg-
istered two years ago as new resi-
dents register and current resi-
dents update their addresses.
Nassau County Supervisor of
Elections Vicki Cannon said her
office purged voters last year as
part of its routine maintenance of
lists.
'This. past year, we sent new
voter information cards to every
voter in Nassau County," Cannon
said. "Any v,. er whon;e (voter infor-
mation card) was returned as
undeliverable from the postal serv-
ice was sent a final notice giving
the voter 30 days to notify our
office of an address change. If the
voter did not respond within the 30-
day period, they were placed in an
'inactive' status. They are still eli-
gible to vote but are required to
update their address before vot-
ing."
Many of those "inactive" voters
became active when they updated
.their addresses before the state
presidential primary elections and
property tax referendum in
January.
Others are likely to do so before
the April 8 city election for resi-
dents of Fernandina Beach. Still:
more are likely to do so before'
Republican and Democratic local'
primary elections in August, and'
before the general election Nov.:
4.
"However, if they do not con-
tact our office or vote within the
next two general elections, they
will be placed in an 'ineligible' sta-'
tus and will have to re-register'
before voting," Cannon said. 'This'
process is performed to keep the
voter registration list current" '
She said "although our 'active'-
voters decreased as a result of the
list maintenance process, our 'inac-
tive' list increased. When we per-'
form list maintenance, we find that'
many voters have moved to anoth-
er county or state, relocated with-'
in Nassau County, etc. It is a;
mandatory process that'we must'
perform to keo`ddtr' egistritio'i

Emergency center plans advance
KAIH IIE COLGROVEL
Community Newspapers
Design plans for Nassau
County's new emergency opera-
tions center are moving closer to
completion. The new 6,143-square-
foot center will be built adjacent to
the judicial annex and courthouse
in Yulee, and builders plan to begin
construction by summer.
Ensuring that the structure is
both environmentally friendly and
energy efficient, while keeping
costs down, is the primary concern
for Nassau County Commissioners
and architects at Mandese White
Construction, Inc.
Planners are seeking construc-
tion materials and furnishings that
are considered "green," which
means some of the components
may be made of recycled materials
or may be derived from compo-
nents that have a low impact ori the
environment.
"By building to a higher build-
ing code criteria, there are aspects
already of the project that address
higher energy efficient materials
and site orientation," said Nancy
Freeman, director of Nassau
County Emergency Management,
adding, "We're looking long term to
increase cost savings over time."
The county expects another $1
million allocation to come from a
combination of state and federal
grants to further fund the project;
the board has already approved ini-
tial funding.
One of the design elements
includes roofing and windows stur-
dy enough to withstand wind
speeds up to 165 miles per hour,
enabling emergency officials to'
continue communications and
other duties during hurricanes or
other dire conditions.
"We can build a roofsystem that
can withstand the impact," said
Howard .1. McLean Jr., the project's
architect, at a presentation Feb 13.
A discussion ensued ii ,i : hi 'l
commissioners about the pitch of
the proposed roof. They cited pre-
vious problems with work per-
formed by other contractors, such
as leaky windows at other facilities
and subsequent repair costs.
Commissioner Jim B.
Higginbotham said he "could not
understand why we have a flat
roof," because of the number of
times the jail's roof has been
repaired. The jail was built in 2002.
Other design features for the
proposed facility will include a
media area available for print and
television news personnel, bunk
accommodations and other ameni-
ties necessary to sustain those who
are encamped.
The building's facade will coor-
dinate with the surrounding facili-
ties to help give it a unified look.
The center is one of approxi-
mately 24 that will be built across
the state, according to Freeman.
Architects are reviewing some of
the design elements suggested by
the board, such as roof design and
landscaping.

"Here, let me put it in the

Some quick rearranging

"Hey, we can't sit down either,
these bags are in the way."
"What are you talking
about?" I reply and take a look for
myself. Uggggggh. I forgot about
the two huge black garbage bags
for the Barnabas Center in the
back row.
This is going to be a trick fit-

"You argled one lsaver, that would

My kids are learning that their

for a helping hand is another sign
of being human. Sometimes
doing things on our own saves
face, but not our sanity. Finding
that balance is the key. Hmmm -

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29.2008/News-Leader
VIEWPOINT/ELI LEHRER/THE JAMES MADISON INSTITUTE
Insurers flee Florida
A year has passed since
Gov. Charlie Crist and a
nearly unanimous
Legislature hailed the
arrival of a new era for Florida's
property insurance system. They
promised lower rates, greater
availability of insurance and a
more vibrant insurance market.
Today, however, the outcome
appears increasingly clear: The
"'reforms'' have failed to achieve
lasting rate reductions, and they
have led many private insurers
to reduce or eliminate their
exposure to Florida's daunting
risks.
- Worse, in the event of a major
disaster on a scale of Hurricane
Katrina, these reforms also
could lead to massive hikes in
taxes and insurance premiums
for almost everyone in the state.
Although the legislation con-
tained dozens of new provisions,
its crux lies in two related sets of
regulations. One lets the Florida
Citizens Property Insurance
Corp. (a state agency) compete
with private insurers.
The other key provision vast-
ly expands the Florida
Hurricane Catastrophe Fund's
role in providing backup reinsur-
ance coverage for Citizens and
the private companies operating
in the state. This backup cover-

Depend On Us For Life:-
Fostercare
On behalf of Family Support
Services of North Florida, Inc., our
foster parents, the GAL, the
Dependency Court Judges, DCF
and the children, we would like to
thank the Nassau County Commis-
sion and the Fernandina Beach City
Commission for their proclamation
of Foster Care Awareness Month in
Nassau County and the city of
Fernandina Beach.
On the First Coast on any given
day of the year, there are approxi-
mately 3,200 children in the foster
care system. In this region alone,
we see a weekly average of 32 new
children coming through the doors
of the Nassau/Duval County court-
houses. The good news is that the
majority of these children have lov-
ing biological families that open up
their homes, but there are many,
other children that need a "foster"
family to care for them while their
parents try to rebuild their lives.
Solutions to the root causes of
why we have a foster care system
are not as numerous as one would
anticipate. Some of the reasons are
financial, substance abuse, domes-
tic violence and, in rare cases, phys-
ical abuse and abandonment. These.
children come in to the foster care
system at no fault of their own.
What we do know is that children
are more likely to develop posi-
tively when they live in a home with
a stable, permanent family. The mis-
sion of Family Support Services of
North Florida, Inc., is that when
children must be removed from
home because of abuse or neglect,
the goal is to place them in a safe,
permanent home as soon as possi-
ble, with their own family or an
adoptive family.
As lead agency for foster care
and adoption on the First Coast,
Family Support Services knows
well the unselfish, sacrificial love
poured into the lives of our chil-
dren in foster care by Nassau
County foster families. Our foster
parents provide a safe haven of sta-
bility, shelter and support to chil-
dren who come into our care due to
abuse or neglect. We have limited
words in our vocabulary to thank
these families who literally change
the future for children. But we also
realize that children belong with
their biological families when there
is a safe, loving environment for
the children.
Sadly I report that the number
of children entering the foster care
system is outpacing the number of
qualified persons in Nassau County
who are willing to be licensed to
care for them. Becoming a foster
parent isn't difficult and the length,
of time you open your home to one
of our children is completely up to
you. Some of our families foster
children for years, some for only a
day or a week. Some of our foster
parents serve for a short season
and care for one or two children,
some for more than 30 years, shel-
tering more than 800!
Log on to www.fssjax.org for
additional information. Perhaps
being a foster parent isn't for you?
Don't worry, there are a lot of other
opportunities for you to touch the
lives of these children such as
remembering them on their birth-
day by sending a card, mentoring,
providing respite care for a foster
parent, sponsoring a child for a
sports, art or music activity or just
remembering these delicate chil-
dren in your prayers at church. :
Thank you again for helping
bring awareness of the children's
need for additional foster parents in
Nassau County and for helping cel-
ebrate those already providing
much needed shelter in the storm
for hurting children and teens. You
know, these aren't THOSE chil-
dren, or THEIR children, these are
OUR children and OUR future.

As I get older, there are few things that get
me more riled than phony, overt displays
of "patriotism" and "religious faith." The
self-appointed, squawking nanny guardians
of these two virtues have too long decreed what is
and isn't acceptable. If you're as sick of it as I am, I
invite you to join me in telling these chattering idiots,
in the colorful idiom of our British brethren Sod

The Brits sometimes substitute a similar term
that begins with P and conveys stronger sentiment. I
actually prefer that one when dealing with these
morons.
This is not an endorsement of Sen. Barack
Obama's presidential bid. But if I hear one more nin-
compoop say the man's not patriotic because (A) He
didn't put his hand over his heart while singing the
'National Anthem or (B) He has decided not to follow
political sheep everywhere by wearing an American
flag lapel pin in his sleep, I'm going to puke.

with other politicians during the National Anthem.

one ever sings it right. If we're going to honor this
great country of ours, why not do it with the sweep-

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Greenway
Like several others in the community with close ties
to the Egans Creek Greenway, I think there is a basic
lack of understanding that is carrying this discussion
on to excess. That point is: I, among others, have no
reason to want to see a grand experiment carried out
in my backyard (NIMBY?).
There seems to be a lack of understanding among
those on the periphery or are lacking an understand-
ing of the "wants" of the adjacent landowners. We
want it back like it was eight years ago, not 200 years
ago. No experiments. No science. No unsolicited opin-
ions.
The city commission has voted twice to restore
the area from Jasmine south to freshwater. A point to
be aware of: the idea of using wastewater to improve
the freshwater flow to better facilitate an estuarine
system is full of trouble. The gray water is called many
other less fancy names because it is not usable at any
point for human contact. Thus the use of effluent
becomes the end of man's use of the creek. With no
human contact and bans on eating anything from the
creek, what has been gained. I would offer, what has
been lost?
This game has proceeded too far. The objections
have been allowed by the St Johns River Water
Management District (SJRWMD). The objections
offered are supposed to be couched in "the effect on
the substantial interests of the petitioner." It was dis-
missed once for lack of standing. The second request
did nut address any of th-eeons forh Vfle.isjssai}.1
It should be turned down again But hy-law,-the'petbi,
tioner will get a third try,-right or wrong. We are
stymied by someone who has no understanding of
the situation but an understanding of the law.

Tiger conservation
A world without tigers may be easy for some to live
in. But for me and other tiger conservationists, it
would be a very sad time. This magnificent species is
being poached at an alarming rate. It is said that at least
one tiger is poached every day, and that by the year
2010 all tiger sub-species will be extinct in the wild.
It is astonishing to imagine that a species that has
been around for one million years is going to go extinct
in a little over 100 years. Many people have no idea just
how endangered the tiger is. This is their time to edu-
cate and to be educated.
Three sub-species of tiger have already gone
extinct. As a tiger conservationist, I urge all of you to
help protect the remaining five. We can do this by
raising awareness of the threats tigers face, by edu-
cating your children and future generations and donat-
ing to tiger protection agencies such as www.save
thetigerfund.org. All of these things put together can
* help end the pointless slaughter of this beautiful ani-
mal.
. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people that do not
even know what a tiger is. For those people and the rest
of you, I have a roaring good place for you to visit: the
Catty Shack Ranch Wildlife Sanctuary. This is a non-
profit rescue center for unlawfully owned and mis-
treated cats. The majority of the residents are Siberian
.tigers. But we also have lions, mountain lions, leopards,
serval and a couple of arctic foxes. Come out and see
-the new tiger cubs, they're so adorable!
The next fundraiser date is Saturday, March 8.
-This a nighttime feeding event, from 4-7 p.m. Feeding
starts at 7 p.m. and usually lasts 30 minutes. Cost is $10
per person, 7 years old and up, children 3-6 are $5, 2
years and under free. If you stay for the night feeding
it is $5 extra for 3 and up, 2 and under is still free.
You can get directions from the website at www.cat-

tory here with twice weekly presentations, this year
focusing on three exceptional individuals, and partic-
ularly one of our island's true heroes Robert Sutton.
He was a man born into slavery more than 150 years
ago, whose story stills speaks to us, and yet is not well
known.
In late February 1862, only a year into the Civil War,
the Union Army, 15,000 men strong, came to Amelia
Island on 20 ships, and the Confederate forces on the
island left without a fight, accompanied by the white
population and as many of their slaves as they could
find. Within weeks, escaped slaves began flocking to
the island and freedom. Robert Sutton was one of
those escaped slaves and, like many enslaved men, he
came to the island first by himself to check out the sit-
uation, and then returned to bring out his wife and fam-
ily
In the summer of 1862, Lincoln made the fateful
decision to free, and more importantly arm, the slaves.
Amelia Island immediately became one of the prime
sites for recruitment of African-Americans into the
Union Army. Many of these new recruits were then
sent to Hilton Head where they became part of the first
all black regiment the First South Carolina
Volunteers. Among those who joined was Robert
Sutton.
Very few, North or South, believed in the fall of 1862
that slaves could make effective soldiers, and these
black soldiers were given the job of providing proof.
And so in January of 1863, parts of the regiment came,
commanded by white officers, but effectively led by
.,)Suttopytqjpri Clinch, where at dusk they headed up-,
the St Marys Rivemrlooking for a fight. The island was
nearly all black at that time, save for the garrisoning
Union soldiers, so it is a certainty that the entire pop-
ulation of the island lined the banks of the Amelia
River that night to see such an astounding thing, their
husbands, their brothers, their sons, wearing Union
blue and going up a river to fight for their freedom, and
for that of 4.5 million other enslaved human beings.
After midnight, somewhere above the town of St
Marys, they disembarked and marched into the woods
where they came across a group of Confederate cav-
alry ironically out that night searching for slaves head-
ed to Amelia Island and freedom. There was a sharp
fight and Sutton was wounded three times, once in the
head. But the men proved what they had to prove, that
black men would stand, and they would fight as sol-
diers.
Six days later they went up that river again, this time
to retrieve bricks lying around at an old brickyard.
They had no trouble getting up the river and getting
the bricks, but as they were returning to Fort Clinch
they ran into murderous fire from the banks of the nar-
row St Marys River. Robert Sutton was in the pilot-
house firing two rifles beside the white captain. The
captain was shot dead, and Sutton took the wheel and
returned them safely to Fort Clinch.
The Civil War may have been fought long ago, but
its aftermath lingers today. We should do more to rec-
ognize these brave men who fought so well for their
freedom here, and particularly Robert Sutton.
This month at the Amelia Island Museum of History
we have been celebrating Robert Sutton and other
heroes who can teach us so much about the value of
freedom, and how precious it is. But we need to do
more. It is time for a plaque prominently displayed and
placed along the Amelia River commemorating these
men, and particularly Robert Sutton.

Dumb and dumber
Damn Coleman ("In U.S., ignorance is not bliss,"
Feb. 22), I didn't need NBC to tell me Americans are
dumber -just look at how many of them are registered
as Democrats! They are so dumb here in Florida they
supposedly couldn't figure how to cast a ballot or
punch a chad out! Funny how it's never Republicans
who file lawsuits claiming ballots are too confusing or
providing a photo I.D. is too intrusive. Just the dumb
ones!
As for science, what about the "junk science" you
guys are always pimping called "global warming"?
You've become just another self-annointed shill for
the left.

I have two dog-related businesses in this county.
One is Dog Leg Productions, a kennel and dog train-

HEATHER A. PERRY
News-Leader
Whether writing in defense of eggs, decrying
transfats or applauding the elimination of sodas in
schools, Willyne Blanchard has been a frequent
contributor to the Voice of the People column for
many years.
In addition to health issues, recent letter topics
include praise for University of Florida quarter-
back Tim Tebow and Jacksonville Jaguars Head
Coach Jack Del Rio as well as comparing friend
and former city commissioner Patricia Thompson
to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"I'm a truth seeker," said Blanchard, "and care
about people of all ages from womb to tomb; if
only one person is helped by my shared knowl-
edge, it's worth it."
Originally from Louisiana, Blanchard moved to
Amelia Island in 1954 when her husband began
working at Smurfit-Stone.
While raising her four children in 1966,
dog food company and a member of the first over-
sight committee to separate Nassau County Animal
Control and Nassau Humane Society.
My website contains my .philosophy and mission
statement as a professional in the dog industry. It
states do everything possible to keep the dog in its
home barring no unusual circumstances. The second
refers to keeping children safe from dogs with bad
behaviors. Please let us remember that,dogs are not
born bad.
This is why I am writing this letter:
1) I am tired of the bickering among the media, the
think-they-knowers, the government sector and the
concerned citizens.
2) The first oversight committee should have been
allowed more time to accomplish their goals.
3) The Nassau Humane Society was invited to join
the Pet Alliance Nassau and they chose to wait.
4) The 501(c)3 animal rescue groups involved in
PAN have a mission: to help dogs and cats stay healthy
and loved. PAN was formed to help these groups raise
money, educate the public, promote adoptions, encour-
age spay/neuter.
5) Help Tommy Seagraves, the sheriff, to take over
the department of Animal Control.
a) If this happens the name needs to be changed to
animal services and enforcement.
b) There needs to be a dispatcher for incoming calls
c) A new image campaign
d) A director who can delegate with experience and
lead with clear vision.
e) At least four animal control officers on the road
f) At least six kennel technicians 7 days a week so
they can rotate and have regular days off.
g) One person in-house who can be all about the
publics'concerns
h) Accurate, open and efficient record keeping.
This is from my heart, from my experience and
from my frustrations. Stop the talking and start the vol-
unteering. We will need foster families for sick puppies,
heartworm positive quiet homes for recovery, homes
where dropped-from-car window kittens can mend,
warm hearts who can give time and comfort to senior
citizen dogs who were given up and abandoned
because their health needs were expensive and more
Blanchard wrote play reviews for the News-Leader
Then-editor Don Caldwell asked Blanchard if she
would also write stories about people in the com-
munity along with a photograph.
"I told Don, 'I'll never find enough words for a
story each week.'"
Caldwell said she would and he was right
Blanchard continued writing a weekly feature col-
umn for the News-Leader until 1976.
A nutrition conference she attended in 1984
began another writing career; that of letters to the
editor author.
After hearing Dr. Ruth Yale Long speak in
Houston, Blanchard says she "became 'born

"It's a topic I've always been drawn to," said
Blanchard. "Even as a child."

Sisterdcity
How would you like to-become a sister town to
Sag Harbor, a historic, bayside whaling village in the
Hamptons on Long Island, N.Y.? The town is a two-hour
drive from Manhattan and buses and trains are avail-
able for transportation to the Big City.
As sister towns, we could exchange houses, have
writers, seminars, art gatherings and inter-galleries,
work exchanges and barter opportunities (and what-
ever you can think oft).
Right now is a moment in time before the taxes get
too high for artists and small, quaint shops to stay in
town.
Fernandina and Sag Harbor have a lot in common.
At the end of the shopping district, is, yes, a harbor,
where you can see the water and go out on the dock,
just like Fernandina Beach.
Both towns have charming historic buildings,
wonderful restaurants, art galleries, community
parades and events and friendly people. Like
Fernandina, Sag Harbor has mostly middle-class res-
idents where the locals really work and the young
families go to church. The. beautiful sweeping
ocean beaches are a short drive away. The wealthy
settle on the coast amidst old-timer early settlers,
who had the sense to stake their ground on the
hotspot.
I'd like to know who is willing in participating in this.
Is there interest out there? Let me know and I'll put it
in the works. Mail me at: 75 Ridge Road, Sag Harbor,
NY 11963.

There truly is no place like home
ENGAGEMENTS
There is no place like home. Dorothy
said it. Most of us say it when we return
from trips away. Not everyone has a home
that is safe or one to which we want to
return. Thanks to Micah's Place Domestic
Violence Shelter, women in our county have
a place to go and escape from abuse and find
a temporary home and, hopefully, a perma-
nent home that is peaceful and safe.
Each year just as spring begins to tease
our island azaleas and buds are popping, the
Micah's Place annual Home and Garden
Tour offers a unique opportunity to tour
some of the island's most beautiful homes.
"The Home and Garden Tour generates
vital funds to sustain critical programs
offered by Micah's Place," according to
Shandra Riffey, executive director.
Traditionally, the homes selected for
each spring tour are very different, reflect-
ing the lives and personalities of those gen-
erous enough to open their private resi-
dences for tours.
One home reflects its owner's worldwide
travel. Its architecture is reminiscent of a
French chateau. Jean and Mike Luke's
house stands 19 feet above sea level with
views of the Atlantic Ocean and the
Intracoastal Waterway. Each room and level
offers museum-quality treasures. Among the
many treasures are an Elliot grandfather
clock, circa 1849, and ancient Chinese sculp-
tures. Another room is filled with Third
World artwork.

First Baptist Church celebrates the risen Christ
Pastor's Ponderings by Senior Pastor Jeff
Overton, First Baptist Church: "A man was
coming out of church one .day and the
preacher was standing at the door as he
always is to shake hands. He grabbed the
man by fhe hand and pulled him aside.
"The pastor said to him, 'You need to join
the Army of the Lord!' The man replied, 'I'm
already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.'
"The pastor questioned, 'How come I
don't see you except at Christmas and
Easter?' He whispered back, Tm in the
secret service.'
"I'm really not sure that God has a secret
service. I think He wants us to live out our
faith in a bold manner. He wants others to
see that we belong to Him so that they too
may come to a saving knowledge of Jesus
Christ This has been God's plan and we
need to implement it Look with me at this
verse as Paul writes to the church at Second
Corinthians 9:12-14. (Please read.)

not only meet the needs of God's people, the

God for what they see in you. You see, our
service is our obedience. No one has been
called to sit on a pew. All of us have been
called to serve. We talk a lot about worship
services but real surrender involves our
worship through service. As we move for-
ward to our new facility and ministries, there
will be more opportunities for service than
ever before. He does not need a secret serv-
ice. Make the decision today to take your
place of service."
First Baptist Church, Fernandina Beach,
celebrates "The Risen Christ." The Easter
season is upon us once again. First Baptist
swings into full gear to celebrate. What bet-
ter reason do we, as believers, have to
rejoice than in our risen Savior? At Easter,
we traditionally remember the suffering,
death and sacrifice of Jesus. But it's impor-
tant for us to realize that the primary focus
of the early church what changed the per-
ception of reality and transformed them into
a band of revolutionary messengers -was
not the crucified Christ, but the risen Christ.

stepped up to the microphone
and thanked everyone for allow-
ing them to participate in such a
special evening. 'This will be our
last song," he announced. "We
hope you all-have a wonderful
night and a safe drive home."
And then, it happened; out
onto the dance floor stepped a
dad with his little girl, fast asleep
and resting on his shoulder. As
the band played its final song, it
was clear that it was the father
who was enjoying the last dance
while his sleeping daughter was
totally unaware of what was
going on.
I can't help but see the heart
of God in this beautiful little
story. In the book of
Deuteronomy, chapter thirty-two
and verse nine, the Bible tells us
that the Lord's portion is His peo-
ple. Have you ever stopped and
considered the fact that we are
not the only ones who are
blessed by having a relationship
with God? That's right, He actual-
ly gets pleasure from us. Like the
little girl fast asleep in her dad's
arms, it's not our activities that
are the source of His pleasure,
but simply who we are: His sons
and daughters. I've found
whether I'm awake or asleep,
there's no better place to be.

TOWN COUNCIL
TOWN OF CALLAHAN, FLORIDA
A classic way to save
money is purchasing
during a down market.
Coats are cheaper at
the end of winter. Bakery bread
made Monday is heavily dis-
counted by Tuesday. Knick-
knacks left over at the end of a
garage sale often are given away
So with some home prices
rolled back to 2003 levels, now
may be the time to buy.
Consumers, however, need to
remain prudent researchers as
they seek value in the down-
turn. General trends prices
nationally and in Florida are
falling may take on a particu-
lar nuance in a specific market.
For instance, recent national
analysis from Zillow.cdm,
a website that estimates home
values, prompted this conclu-
sion.
"With consecutive declines
over the past five quarters, we
haven't seen the housing mar-
ket hit bottom yet, and it may
very well get worse before
things get better," Zillow vice
president of data and analytics
Stan Humphries said in a news
release.
But throughout Florida,
some areas have touched bot-
tom while others remain prone
to further price erosion. Zillow's
data shows the following raw
numbers:
In Orange County/
Orlando, the median price (the
point where exactly half the
houses cost more and exactly
half cost less) for an "average"
house in December was
$211,922 a one-year decline of
12 percent.
In Miami/Fort Lauderdale
(different from Miami-Dade
County), the median price in
December was $259,659 a 14
percent drop from a year ago.
In Leon County (including
Tallahassee), the median home
price was $187,024 a 1.4 per-
cent drop from a year ago.
While there's no way to
absolutely know when home
prices have hit bottom, con-
sumers can learn more by con-
sulting with local realtors and
real estate attorneys. Some ana-
lysts say that prices in South
Florida still may be dropping,
while parts of the Panhandle
and the Orlando area are

ESTATE as well as

When inquiring about a spe-
cific market, getting a feel for
inventory is another important
piece of information: The more
houses on the market, the more
pressure for prices to fall. Jobs
and wages alsoare key ele-
ments, and chambers of com-
merce can be good starting
points there.
Once research indicates that
a particular home or neighbor-
hood may be a good deal, the
basics of home buying take
hold. These can include:
Keeping resale in mind:
The home design might be
unique, but will a future buyer
think the same? Understand
what nearby development -
commercial and residential is
planned and how it may impact
the way the house and neigh-
borhood are perceived in the
future. Be wary if your intent is
the quick-flip. Just because a
property has increased by dou-
ble-digit percentage points in
the past is no guarantee of
future performance. Also, tight-
ening loan requirements may
have cut down on the potential
pool of buyers.
Getting your financial
house in order: More stringent
loan rules might impact you.
Many lenders now require at
least a 10 percent down pay-
ment -$20,000, for example, on
a $200,000 purchase price.
Before you bid on a house, shop
for a mortgage and know what
you qualify for. Buyers with
secured financing present a
stronger position.
Negotiating everything:
Nearly everything in the trans-
action is on-the table,;-f'om-(elo-

be shy about requesting that

sellers pay all fees and commis-'
sions. Sellers are more motivat-'
ed than usual, polishing their
homes to a high sheen.
Especially with builders sitting
on large inventories, be sure to
ask for concessions, including
price cuts, free landscape addi-
tions, free clubhouse fees and ,
closing-cost waivers.
Asking questions: Know a
seller's motivation by asking.
Find out what the seller paid
and how long ago (these
answers typically are on file with
the county property appraiser's'
office and, depending on the
county, may be available
online). If a seller is changing
jobs, an astute buyer can be part
of the solution by offering a
quick sale.
Consumers can find some of
the best home prices in five
years. As with stocks, it's impose
sible to time the housing mar-
ket.

crucial element. The market _4

SPORTS MEDICINE
GREIGORY SMIn.m M.D.
Zednik is
recovering
from injury
I see very few sports
injuries anymore that
make me catch my
breath. However, every
now and then there is one that
gives you that twinge in the
pit of your stomach. The first
one I can remember was
when the Redskins' Joe
Theisman's tibia snapped in
two when he was sacked by
Lawrence Taylor years ago.
The most recent one took
place on the ice in Buffalo
Feb. 10. The Florida Panthers
were taking on the Buffalo
Sabres. Panther Olli Jokinen
came across the ice, was
upended, his feet went up
awkwardly in the air and one
of his skates came across the
neck of teammate Richard
Zednik.
Zednik immediately put his
hand to his throat, but it was
not enough to stop the flow of
blood spilling onto the ice. His
carotid artery had been sliced
in half. Zednik made it to the
sideline and was quickly
attended to by medical staff
and rushed to Buffalo General
Hospital, where he underwent
two hours of surgery to sew
the artery back together.
Zednik lost five units of
blood and very nearly lost his
life. Unbelievably, Zednik suf-
fered no brain injury from this
and is expected to make a full
recovery in just 6-8 weeks.
The Panthers' website has
received more than 20,000
get-well messages. Zednik
also took a call from the presi-
dent of his native Slovakia,
Ivan Gasparovic.
The 32-year-old Zednik
said he instantly felt the stab-
bing pain in his neck,
assumed the worst and knew
he had to get to the bench
before he'passed out.'He said
liat once there, he began to -
think of his four-year-old
daughter, Ella.
"I remember thinking, 'Am
I going to see her grow up?'"
Zednik said.
"We're all skating out
there, basically, with two
knives attached to our feet,"
said veteran forward Glen
Metropolit, one pf Zednik's
linemates.
Many are now looking for
the National Hockey League
to consider mandatory neck
protection. While many ama-
teur hockey programs
throughout the U.S., Canada
and Europe require neck pro-
tection for its players, the
same cannot be said for the
NHL. A quick survey showed
only about half of NHL goalies
wear some extra neck protec-
tion and few, if any, NHL for-
wards or defensemen wear
neck guards.
Despite the fact that play-
ers know they offer a measure
of protection, once they reach
the professional ranks, they
discard them because they
find them too confining, claus-
trophobic or simply too hot..
The NHL Players Association
is planning to look into a num-
ber of safety issues, including
eye and neck protection, and ,
will increase focus on educat-
ing players about on-ice safety.
However, most do not feel this
protection should be mandato-
ry because players are resist-
ant to change and, although
Sthe consequences of injury
can be devastating, the likeli-
hood of this type of injury is
low.
The injury has been
viewed on YouTube more
than a million times, but
Zednik said he has seen the
footage only once and won't
watch it again.
"At first when I was in the
Buffalo hospital, I was like,
'No, I don't want to watch.' I
was like still kind of in shock.
But then when I got back to
SFlorida... I was curious, exact-
ly, how the skate came to the
neck," he said. "I watched it
once. That's enough."

News-Leader
The Pirates won all of their matches Wednesday
when they hosted the Hornets at the Amelia Island
Plantation. The Pirates won 14-0.
S "Yulee is a real new team that seems to be getting
better every year," said Mark Durr, head tennis coach
at Fernandina Beach High School. 'Their coach,
Richard Schweitzer, will make some real progress
over time with their program."
In boys singles action,Tyler Nowakowski defeat-
ed Joe McDonald 8-1; Austin Moule defeated Joey
Wade 8-0; Andrew Wood beat Terry Mott 8-3; Jason
Olbina defeated Jeff Beluesat 8-1; and Patrick Wells
topped Josh Welson 8-2.
Nowakowski teamed up with Moule to defeat
Wade and McDonald 8-4 in doubles action. Wood
and Olbina beat Josh Hopper and Mott at No. 2.
Rachel Gillespie was playing the No. 1 spot for the
Lady Pirates. She defeated Britney Dove 8-3. Ashleigh
Mullis beat Jennie Clark 8-0; Kelli Gies beat Brook
Milane 8-1; Meghan Smith won over Kaglan Towers
8-1; and Michelle Hamscomb defeated Courtney
Lowery 8-0.
In doubles, Gillespie and Mullis teamed up to beat
Dove and Courtney Lathrop 8-1. Smith and Gies
defeated.Ashley Burris and Chelsey Stisbilla 8-0.
"We are off to a good start at 3-0," Durr said of the
FBHS boys team. "We are in an extremely tough dis-
trict, but we are focussing on one match and even one
game at a time. Our boys team is stronger than it has
been in years.
"Our entire varsity line-up is returning players,
which includes the core of our team. Tyler, Austin and
Andrew, Nos. 1, 2 and 3, are all seniors who have been
with us for four years. These young men are and
have been extremely valuable for us. They all have
exceptional attitudes and have done what it takes in
the offseason as far as practicing and conditioning to
be able to compete at this level.
"Tyler is our leader on the court. His game is
stronger than we have ever seen from him. He's not
only hitting with more power, but is much more accu-'
rate at placing the ball all around the court. He's
become a very intelligent player over the years and
is at the top of his game right, now.
,., "J,,un and atriatNlos. 4 and 5, ae.also return,
ing ahtd are major contributors to our succession pite
of an injury that occurred during soccer season.
Jason Olbina has stepped in at number four and has
been real solid for us. Patrick is another one of those
who has obviously dedicated himself during the off-
season to being, a better player. He exemplifies the
kind of blue collar character we have on this boys
team."
The Lady Pirates are also 3-0 on the season.
"Our girls team has more youth than the boys,"
Durr said. "We are glad to have our one senior leader
in Kelli Gies. She keeps us all in line and is playing a
real solid number three.
"Our No. 1 is Rachel Gillespie, a 10th grader who
jumps all the way from No. 5 last year. Needless to say,
we are all really pleased with Rachel's progress. She
is another soccer player who brings constant energy
and focus with her on the tennis court. We don't
think there is a ball that Rachel can't get to. We love
her hustle.
"Ashleigh, our No. 2, is our core. She does every-
thing we ask her to and, with a smile. She's the exam-
Spie of what is Lady Pirate tennis. This is her third sea-
" son with us. Her game has come along way thanks to
the work and dedicated efforts that she has put in her-
self.
"We are really excited about our ninth grader who
has broken into the varsity lineup, Meghan Smith.
Meghan is a strong and aggressive player who real-
ly is hitting the ball well, especially for someone as
young. We're excited to have her for four years.
"We have been very lucky to have the wonderful
staff at Amelia Island Plantation open up their fantastic
facility to us for all of our home matches. It is a real
special treat for us as well as our opponents to play in
such a tennis friendly environment."

lives on Amelia Island.

because of Iriends and then I knew
the volleyball program would be
strong," Peppler said.

potential to play at the next level,"
said Jackson, who is also the head

lot to their team, not only skill-
wise. They're coachable. They're
true team players. This is going to
be a great move for them.

nursing.

Fishermen hooking red, black drum
Puppy drum and red drum
are fired up in the bays,
tidal estuaries and shal-
low flats during the past
few days. Black drum are run-
ning during the flood tide, while
red drum are feeding during the
falling tides.
"During a recent fishing trip
to Cumberland Sound, Hank
Martinez and I did quite well
with both red and black drum,"
Don Whitman said. "During the
flooding tide, we caught black
drum while fishing the deep
sides of oyster bars with fresh
shrimp on the bottom. As the
tide turned and began to fall, we
began catching red drum while
drifting live shrimp and popping
cork combos over oyster bars."
Backwater fishermen have
done real well this past week
during the falling tide while drift-
ing live shrimp under boat
docks. The best technique is to
drift a float and live shrimp
combo in one to three feet of
. water under the dock during the
high falling tide. As the tide falls,
Suzanne
Cooper
caught this
nice Amelia
Island red
while work-
ing a led
head jig and
bullhead
minnow
combo slowly
along a shell
bottom.

Striped bass are running in
both the St. Marys and Nassau
River systems during the high
falling tides. However, this week-
end you will need to get on the
water early as high tide at both
the 1-95 bridges on both the St.
Marys and Nassau rivers arrives
at 7 a.m.
There is a four-hour lag time
in the tides between the mouth
of the Cumberland Sound and
the 1-95 Bridge at the St. Marys
River. The same holds true
between the mouth of Nassau
Sound and 1-95 bridge on the
Nassau River.
Spotted sea trout are legal to
keep beginning March 1. The St.
Marys jetty rocks are holding
specks during the falling tide
while drifting live shrimp under a
trout float deep along the rocks.
The mouth of Sawpit Creek at
Nassau Sound and Christopher
Creek are both holding specks
as well.
The News-Leader encourages
local anglers to submit photo-
graphs of their catches. The News-
Leader will publish them in this
space on Fridays. E-mail photos to
bjones@Jbnewsleadercom, mail
them to P.O. Box 766, Fernandina

FREE "LIVING TRUST" SEMINAR
Find out how you may be able to
Transfer your Estate to Your Family Quickly Without Probate Fees & Minimum Estate Taxes
If you own a home...or have assets worth at least $100,000...you owe it to
yourself and your family to get the facts on living trusts. If you think
you're protected with a simple Will...think again...In many cases a Will guar-
antees your estate will go through probate, which means your family will not
be able to take possession of your estate for many months or even years!
Plus, if your entire estate, which includes life insurance and retirement plans,
is over $1,000,000 in 2011, your family may owe estate taxes which could
amount to 41-55% of the value of your estate. This means that your family
may have to sell some assets just to pay the estate taxes! '
A living trust can eliminate probate and minimize estate taxes. Plus, a living
trust may protect your estate if you become incapacitated during your life-
time by avoiding a guardianship. This means your estate may be managed
as you see fit, not as a court-appointed guardian sees fit. To find out more
about the benefits of living trusts attend one of these free seminars.

Sometimes dramatic irony occurs
when you least expect it like at a
recent production of "Company" at the
Alhambra Dinner Theatre.
Act 1 of the Stephen Sondheim
musical comedy about a bachelor
exploring the pleasures and perils of
love and marriage through his mar-
ried friends was under way when out
popped a couple or three swear words
from one of the characters on stage.
That was enough to send one audi-
ence member into conniptions, as she
announced to her table and far beyond
love odyssey
that she "wasn't going to sit there and
listen to cuss words" a fact she
repeated loudly, several times, on her
way out the door.
Left to slink in his chair was her
husband and his friends, while on
stage the scene about the square wife
and her loving but frustrated husband
played out. (To his credit, the hus-
band stayed until intermission.)
Word to the public: "Company" is
an edgy adult musical with some
swear words, drinking, smoking, drug
use and, yes, sex.

automotive history
For the News-Leader
d'Elegance March 7-9 will honor racing leg-
end Parnelli Jones, while the iconic
Thomas Flyer will serve as the featured
marque and General Motors will celebrate
100 years of automotive history.
During his diverse career, Jones raced just about every kind of car
around, including sports cars, sprint cars, Indy cars, midget racers,
stock cars and off-road vehicles. His 1963
Indy 500 win was one for the ages and,,
in 1967, he piloted one of the most
famous race cars to ever run at
the "Brickyard," the controver-
sial STP-sponsored, turbine-
powered entry. A successful
businessman after his racing
career ended, Jones is a mem-
ber today of more than 20 automotive halls of fame.
The Thomas Flyer secured a historic win 100 years ago in the
famed New York-to-Paris "Great Race." Friday's seminar will be
devoted to the grueling race and will be led by Jeff Mahl, great-
grandson of George Schuster, one of the drivers of the winning car.
Additionally, the National Automobile Museum (formerly The
Harrah Collection) in Reno, Nevada, has agreed to let the concours
display the winning Thomas Flyer on show day.
The horsepower-hungry Trans-Am series of the late 1960s will be
the subject of Saturday's seminar, with some of the series' top drivers
recounting their experiences in a panel discussion with questions
and answers afterwards.
In addition to Parnelli Jones, the 1970 series champion, the con-
cours will welcome Dan Gurney, George Follmer, Sam Posey and
John Morton, the series' under 2.5 liter champion, to The Ritz-
Carlton, Amelia Island.

"I Am Woman" is a statement both on the charac-

find their way to the ai ilace of the canvas as she

Macon. Ga. After choosing to .. .. .
,devote herself to a life of creat-
ingart she quit the corporate world and went back
to school to study art. After some life threatening
health, issues she began painting in earnest. A sec-

Chicago 10
(Documentary. R. 103 minutes)
Brett Morgen's documentary
about the violence at the 1968
Democratic National Convention
and the subsequent show trial of
.,the-yippies accused of organiz-
"ing the demonstrations, com-
bines stock footage and zippy
motion-capture animated re-cre-
ations taken directly from court
transcripts. It's an act of "political
theater," and that's its subject as
well. Rousing, funny and enter-
taining. Rating: *** -' (Jim
Emerson)
The Counterfeiters
(Drama R. 98 minutes)
A true story of the Nazis'
massive wartime counterfeiting
operation, run out of a concen-
tration camp. It's a noble effort,
but nothing inspired. The
Austrian winner for Best Foreign
Language Film of 2007, it plays
like just that: a rather dull pres-
tige picture that is all too good at
fitting the horrors of the
Holocaust into a generic movie
format. Rating: -** (Jim
Emerson)
Semi-Pro
(Comedy. R. 90 minutes)
Comedic MVP Will Ferrell
slam-dunks this Guy Flick, play-
ing the coach, GM, power for-
ward and promotions chief of the
Flint Tropics, an ABA franchise
on the verge of extinction in
1976. With Woody Harrelson
again showing off his white-
man's leap, it's a nonstop laugh-
in that's not just for hoops
junkies. Rating: **--*
TheOther]oleyn Qr1
(Historical drama. PG-13.
115 minutes)
It's Anne Boleyn (Natalie
Portman) versus her sister Mary
(Scarlett Johansson) and Henry
VIII (Eric Bana) in this familiar
genre picture about treachery in
the House of Tudor. It's a histori-
cal drama about backstabbing
and decapitation in the court of
Henry VIII, with ancestors in
Shakespeare's illustrious
Henry Histories. It's also a politi-
cal thriller, roiling with plots,
power plays and internecine
intrigue; a family melodrama
about two sisters vying for the
favors of the king; and a royal
bodice=ripper, although the only'
chest exposed is Eric Bana's.
because it's PG-13. Rating **

Treasure of Amelia Island'
Amelia Island is featured in a new novel by First
Coast journalist, M.C. Finottl The Treasure of
Amelia Island is historical fiction for young adults
ages 9 and up and tells the story of Ana Jai Kingsley
and her children. It is published by Pineapple Press,
an award-winning regional publisher based in
Sarasota.
Finotti will sign copies of her novel at The Book
Loft at 214 Centre St. in Fernandina Beach on
March 22 from 1-3 p.m.
The novel is set in 1813, a tumultuous time for
the Spanish colony of La Florida, and for 11-year-old
Mary Kingsley. Patriots from the United States want
to kick Spain out of Florida, take the land for them-
selves and enslave any freed people of color, like
Mary and her family.
. In the middle of all this, Mary decides to search
for a legendary pirate treasure with her brother,
George, and half-brother, Diego. The treasure hunt
changes Mary Kingsley forever.
'Through the eyes of a child, M.C. Finotti is able
to seamlessly weave a captivating fictional tale into
the unbelievable but true history of the Kingsley
family," said Carmen Godwin, director of the Amelia
Island Museum of History, in a press release.
The novel is something of a departure for Finotti,
a former television reporter turned wedding colum-
nist for the Florida Times-Union. 'There's romance
in this novel," said Finotti. "I was inspired to write it
after literally falling in love with Kingsley Plantation
years ago. It's a special place and Ana Jai Kingsley
and her children were special people in Florida his-
tory," she said.
Cummer Family Day
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, 829
Riverside Ave., will host a Literacy and Art Family
Day on March 1 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The entire famli-
ly will enjoy a day at the museum filled with live
music, storytelling and literary art projects. Family
Day events will be held throughout the museum,
gardens and Art Connections. Admission is free.
'Reading Lolita'
Azar Nafisi, best-selling author of Reading Lolita
in Tehran: A Memoir in Books, will discuss 'The
Republic of the Imagination" at 7:30 p.m. March 4 at
the University Center Banquet Hall on the
University of North Florida campus.
Reading Lolita electrified its readers with a com-
passionate and often haf-rowing portrait of the
Islamic revolution in Iran and how it affected one

The Amelia Plantation
Chapel Choir presents
"Requiem" by John Rutter and
directed by Richard A. Dickson at
the 9:15 a.m. worship service on
March 16. The public is invited to.
attend.
COMPANY Continued from 1B
bachelor Robert (Matthew Jay
Campbell) contemplates the
unique qualities of each of his
three girlfriends and gathers rela-
tionship advice from his married
friends around his 35th birthday.
Marta (Michelle Barry) is sexy
and tough; Kathy (Kristen Owen)
is kind and old-fashioned; and
April (Andrea Daveline) is a doe-
eyed airline hostess a la Reese
Witherspoon in the "Legally
Blonde" franchise.
Then there is the wealthy Man-
hattan society pair with several
divorces behind them; the long
married Harry and Esther, who
finish each other's sentences and
turn a blind eye to their partner's
vices; the new parents navigating
the pitfalls of family, newlyweds
for whom the sparkle has worn
off; and a bride with cold feet and
a doting fiance.
As the play unfolds in a series
of vignettes, we see love and mar-
riage from Robert's viewpoint in
his interactions with his friends,
who also act as the chorus of his
life. New York City is as much a
character as any of them and is
captured by Sondheim in all its
gritty, glamorous and neurotic
glory.
Robert discovers that relation-
ships, while often boring, some-
times unkind, once in a while
downright mean, occasionally
delusional and never perfect, are
essential to "Being Alive."
Other aptly named numbers
include "Sorry Grateful," "You
Could Drive a Person Crazy,"
"Getting Married Today" and
"Have I Got a Girl For You."
"Company" first opened on
Broadway in 1970 and ran for 690
performances, winning six Tony
awards. It was revived in 2006 and
won the Tony for Best Musical
Revival.
While it may be 38 years since
"Company" debuted, it remains as
fresh and relevant today a sign
that when it comes to love and
marriage, some things never
change.

CONCOURS Continued from 1B
ry of motoring this year. There will be a class
of special Model Ts on the "Field of Dreams"
to recognize this historic automobile and its
contribution to America's emergence as an
industrial power in the early 1900s.
The Automotive Fine Arts Society also will
host its 13th annual art show at the 2008
Amelia Island Concours. Sponsored by
Mazda North America, the exclusive art
show will portray automotive subjects in a
variety of mediums including watercolors,
acrylics, oils, wood and various metals. AFAS
members create works for art'connoisseurs
and auto enthusiasts across the globe.
'The demand for automotive art grows
exponentially each year and the Amelia Island
Concours offers the ideal setting to continue
promoting our craft," said Ken Eberts, presi-
dent of the AFAS, in a press release. 'The
gorgeous scenery, rare cars and wonderful
patrons have kept us coming back for over a
decade to unveil our latest works. It's truly a
pleasure to participate in this world-class
event."
The Amelia Island Concours is among the
most popular automotive events in the coun-
try. Celebrities, industry leaders, art collec-
tors and automotive enthusiasts attend the
annual event and the AFAS exhibit.
"As a longtime collector of automotive art,
I really look forward to the return of the
AFAS every year," said Bill Warner, founder
and chairman of the Amelia Island Concours
d'Elegance. 'The artists and their creations
are truly first-class and central to our automo-
tive themes each year. Whether big or small,
it's always a good time to add a new piece to
any automotive fine art collection."
