Neune Beach ADER h. Neptune Beach and Mayport since 1963 50Ct Police & fire ask for' radios BY LAURI FOWLER STAFF WRITER A new $15 million commu- nications system that would allow the St. Johns County Fire and Rescue Department to talk with other emergency agencies via radios is past due, according to Fire Chief Bobby Hall. In January 2003, an analysis of the communications system for the department concluded that more than half of its radio and dispatch equipment was obsolete. Now, at a time when emer- gencies such as Hurricane Katrina may threaten Florida's coast, Hall is preparing to ask the Board of County' Tassie Beard, at her home in Vicar's Commissioners for a new, up- Ricci, members of the Landrum Midd to-date system. formal attire, made annual Valentine See RADIOS, A-3 Hearing delayed Opponents ask time to ready - rezoning reply BY LAURA FOWLER STAFF \\'WRTER At the request of lawyers seeking more time to prepare their argu- ments, a hearing to consider the rezoning of an oceanfront lot at 829 Ponte Vedra Blvd. was postponed Monday. The owner of the 200-foot-wide lot is seeking to have it rezoned from R- 1-A, which requires a minimum frontage of 150 feet for a home, to R- 1-B, which requires only 100 feet of frontage. According to Rachael Bennett, sen- ior planner with England-Thims and Miller, the firm representing the owner, two single family homes would be built on the lots one for the owner and one for his business colleague. In Monday's meeting of the Ponte Vedra Zoning and Adjustment Board, lawyers Brenna Durden and Sid Ansbacher, who represent residents opposing'.the., rezoning, requested more time to collect court case files and other documents to support their cases. Board chair Robert Metcalf agreed that the board should'see all the rele- vant information "1 think to do our job right we need to see the same information that they% see," NMetcalf told other members of the board Monday. The application to divide the parcel was submitted in June for review by county staff, but Durden said no neighbors were informed about it. Signs announcing Monday's hear- ing with the Ponte Vedia Zoning and Adjustment Board were posted in mid .January, about 20 days before the board's meeting. The signs must be posted at least 15 days.before a hearing to comply with Florida law, county planner Da\-id Harrell said in Monday's meeting.

Patrols eyed for waterway in Valley By' KATHY HARTMAN EDITOR The board of the Palm Valley Community Association wants the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office to step up enforcement on the Intracoastal Waterway, where a no-wake zone had been suggested by some residents. The board also wants the St. Johns County Commission to ask the state for informational signs to be posted along the Intracoastal in Palm Valley, with the goal of slowing boats and calming wakes. Informational signs saying, for example, "Watch your wake narrow channel," would not be enforceable, as would regulatory signs such as "no wake," said Greg Leonard, presi- dent of the association. "There are legitimate issues here, but it is clear there is no basis for regulatory signs ... at this time," Leonard said at Monday's meeting of the association. Leonard referred to last month's association meeting at Landrum Middle School, when res- idents opposed to a no-wake zone in Palm Valley far outnumbered those in favor. A representative of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which would look at boating accident statistics when considering a no-wake zone, said at that meet- ing that the number of accidents in Palm Valley is considered low. The commission has reports of four acci- dents in the past three years on the waterway in Palm Valley. But the commission also knows that increas- ing development will worsen conditions on the Intracoastal, Leonard said at the meeting held at the Palm Valley Community Center on Canal Boulevard. To keep statistics on waterway incidents in Palm Valley, the Palm Valley Community Association board plans to ask Sheriff David Shoar to assign a "point person" to accept and keep track of data. "The more information we gather over time, the more we can request their presence," said Nels Frostenson, a temporary board member. The Sheriff's Office has one boat for patrolling all waterways in St. Johns County, Leonard said. "There's quite a bit of water in St. Johns 6 County," he said. "One boat is only slightly better than nothing."

BEAM and others speak to AB commission by JEFFREY MINTON STAFF I'RITTER With temperatures dropping into the 30s, some Beaches area families were forced to sleep in their vehicles and others in tents at Hanna Park Monday night as they have been evicted from their homes along Mayport Road "to make way for high-priced condos," according to representatives from a group of local agencies attempting to help the families relocate. Some of the representatives from the recently formed Beaches Housing Coalition attended Monday night's Atlantic Beach City, Commission meeting and pleaded for the city's elected officials to help the people, some of whom are Navy fami- lies. "There are families tonight out at Hanna Park sleeping in tents," said Cindy Funkhouser, Executive Director for the Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry (BEAfM) a not for profit agency who has teamed with other local agencies to address the problem. Toni Sable of the Beaches Neighborhood Partnership for the Protection of Children - another agency which has joined the coalition said she is receiving numerous calls each day from parents with young children that don't know what to do. "I've got people living in cars right now. They have children going to school tomorrow," Sable said, adding that teachers at the schools are struggling with whether they should call the Department of Children and Families. "They're [the teachers] saving 'what do I do about this?' And I'm telling them to give the par- ents a chance to fix the problem ... Because if the children are homeless [in this instance], they can't help that." Within the last six months hundreds of low-income fami- lies have been forced out of their residences along Mayport Road and adjacent areas due to their apartment complexes and mobile home parks being bought by developers who plan to construct upscale condomini- ums and office and retail com- plexes. : According to the coalition, the' apartment complexes and mobile home parks which have been or are in the process of evicting its residents are: *The Buccaneer Mobile Home Park 100 residences. *The Palms See HOMELESS, A-3 I Lklmm -- Subscribe to the Ponte Vedra Leader delivered Wednesday and Friday in the mail at 1/2 the newsstand price.

"And if that day comes we will not be able to talk to each other." Hall described a recent situa- tion in which communication between agencies would have helped: Hall had responded to a traffic accident but .was unable to communicate with a St. Johns County Sheriff's deputy directing traffic a quar- ter mile away. Hall said he finally had to walk down the road to tell the officer to close a traffic lane, then walk back to the scene of the accident. With the Sheriff's Office and the Fire Department using dif- ferent communication and dis- patch systems, personnel in each department cannot directly communicate through their radios at an emergency scene. Instead, deputies and fire fighters must contact their dis- patchers at their respective sta- tions to send a message to the other department. This message-relaying sys- tern doesn't always work, Hall said. "The success or failure of any operation depends on the abil- .ity of the emergency respon- ders to communicate, and in St. Johns County we cannot do that,"he said. Officials from every depart- ment in the county that relies on radio communications have been working on the feasibility of providing such an Intergov- ernmental communications system, Hall said. The next step, according to Hall, is for county commission- ers to decide whether the county can come up with the funding. "The board has to make the decision on how they want to move forward," Hall said. Hall is planning to make a presentation to commissioners in upcoming months on the master plan that was devel- oped in 2003 for the Fire Department. The master plan includes plans to replace and relocate some of the existing fire sta- tions to provide better response times. One of those is Station 9 just south of the Guana River dam off State Road ALA south of 'Ponte Vedra, scheduled to be .replaced this year. !The master plan also includes a new Fire Rescue Headquarters on eight acres in "St. Augustine donated by the St. Johns County School Board. In addition, Hall said the Fire Department staff will need to be doubled within the next five to seven years,' adding another 200 firefighters. Commissioner Bruce Maguire of Ponte Vedra said Tuesday that he supports the concept of improving commu- nications between county departments, but he's not sure how it would be funded. "If you look at the potential complications [of the current system]. the first question you come up with is 'why not?'" Maguire said. "There's no doubt that the system is needed," he said, but. "where do we get the money, from?" Commissioner Ben Rich said he would be more inclined to approve such a system if it were needed to meet state or, federal requirements and were accompanied with state or fed- eral funding.

Accepting the check are Bill Tevepaugh, president of the Board of Directors of Mission House, and Jan Flager, executive director of Mission House. "The Plantation members participated with great enthusiasm: to give something back to the community," said Gene Grimmius. "Mission House was selected for the good work it does, for the less fortunate members of our community." Mission House, located at 800 Shetter Avenue in Jacksonville Beach, has assisted over 10,000 men, women, and children since serving its first meal in 1~997, according to the facility.

Nautica Point Apartments 100 residences. Funkhouser said a total of 649 low-income families will lose their homes over 2,000 Beaches area residents. And she said that some are being evicted with as little as 30 days notice and they don't have the money to move any- where else in the area. "The problem along the Mayport Road Corridor is over- whelming," Funkhouser said, adding that there is no longer :any available affordable hous- ing at the Beach for the:6fllrfi- -ies to mov:. '"Thexi h vlritv o money to finance a move ... even if they had the money, there is no place to move in this community." "They are not only being forced out of their homes, but out of their communities as well." Sable said Tuesday that she is upset because the apartment complexes' management and local officials knew about the sales but did little to notify the residents. "People knew that this was going to happen but then did- n't tell the people," she said. "Atlantic Arms [Apartment's residents] did not find out about it [being sold] until it was printed in the paper." Sable said she is frustrated because she helped relocate many people who were evicted from the Palms Apartments last year move into other apart- ments which are now closing. "I moved people from the L3nmsi [Apartmgnts] torfakeside ,L[q .bile,,1Home ,Park] -and,.to Nautica Point [Apartments] and now they haven't even been there a year and they're closed downn" Sable said. "I've, got people calling me asking "What do I do now?" "We have people that absolutely, positively have no idea where to go or what to do." Sable, who served in the mil- itary, said the the Navy should have done more to help its families avoid moving into the apartments which were being eyed for development changes. "The military should have been made aware [of the devel- opment plans] six months ago. They could have told the fami- lies not to move into those apartments," she said. She said Mayport Navy Station was contacted by Atlantic Beach city officials. Tuesday morning and that, Mayport officials told them there are approximately 300 -housing units on base which 'ae "open," but are not afford- able to all military members. Sable said she is frustrated that local officials are not 'doing more to help the fami- lies. "If you don't want poor peo- ple at the beach that's fine," she -said. "It sucks. But then' .help me get them off the beach." ,Atlantic Beach Mayor Don Wolfson at Monday's meeting said many of the residences in question are located in Jacksonville, outside Atlantic Beach city limits, ianid that the' county must.be made aware of the problem. "We have our hands tied. We can take care of what we can take care of .in our area," -Wolfson said.- He told the group that he will contact Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton and other county officials to make them aware of the issues, "We will get attention to the matter..im-mediately.'l'Wolifon sa id ,-,| ,. l ar Cont. from A-l Office, said the sheriff's marine posse patrols waterways on weekends and holidays, "but doesn't just put in an eight- Shour shift every day."

"Our law enforcement main- ly is on .the. land," Kelshaw' said. The" Palm Valley Community Association board met after the Landrum meet-, ing, which Frostenson likened to :"a.Dick Chenev hunting party," and agreed on an approach to "wake manage- ment" in Palm Valley.. The board agreed to ask for informational signs (which must be suggested by a local government, hot individual residents), to seek a point per- son for collecting data and to request more enforcement, from the Sheriff's Office. .

History museum to open March 7 FROM SIT.FF A dream of Jean McCormick of Ponte Vedra Beach is about to become a reality, residents of Palm \alley were told Monday. "lean's dream has finally come true," Holly Beasley, executive director of the Beaches Area Historical Society (BAHSi, said at the monthly meeting of the Palm Valley Community Association. The dream, Beaslev said, is the 12,097-square-foot BAHS museum and its park, which together occupy about three blocks north of Beach Boulevard and %west of Third Street in Jacksonville Beach. The two-story structure, with a permanent exhibit displaying photographs, artifacts and other two- and three-dimen- sional bits of memorabilia, is ,scheduled to open March 7, Beasley said. ' McCormick is a founder of the BAHS and remains an active member of the board, doing volunteer work several times a week, Beasley said. The historical society is a repository for the history of six Beaches communities, Beasley said: Mayport, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Palm Valley and Ponte Vedra. The permanent display will feature bits of history "that make each of these communi- ties unique," she said. Annual membership fees are $30 for individuals and $50 for families, she said. Moms with children age 10 and under will be allowed free entry to the train display once they have paid a $5 admission, she said. Admission will be $5 for adults, $4 for those 65 and older, $3 for ages 6 to 17 and free for agej5 and under. The museum will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, she said. 829: At the end of the meeting, however, several board mem- bers said they felt that 15 days isn't enough time. Those board members asked. Harrell to look into extending the required notification to 30 days. Property owners near the parcel in question say allowing two homes where one exists could set a bad precedent. Nearby lots in both directions are at least 150 feet wide. County staff, the Ponte Vedra Municipal Service District and the Ponte Vedra Community Association have opposed the rezoning. $49 to ENROLL (Regularly $149) Call 904-220-1592 for a FREE 1 -day pass and club tour.

Jack Quinn BG, U.S. Army, ret JOHN HAOUMsNsCK COLUMNIST Legions may join Legion thanks to the Freedom Car T he American Legion may be welcoming legions of new members, according. to Jerick Johnson. I chatted with him on Saturday, February 11, while he visited Legion Post 316 in Atlantic Beach. He's the driver of a new competitor in NASCAR auto racing, dubbed, appropriately, the Freedom Car and num- bered 76 in honor of the year, 1776, that landmark in U.S. history. Painted red, white, and blue, the car will be rac- ing as the result of a unique partnership, between the American Legion and Team Johnson MNotorsports. The Legion is providing no up- front money for its sponsor- ship. Support of the car is coming from purchase of sou- venir merchandise; e.g., T- shirts, hats, clocks, window stickers. Available items are shown on the Internet at www.emblem.legion.org. Jerick is predicting that the Legion will benefit by acquir- ing new members out of the 75 million NASCAR fans, since many are veterans or would be otherwise eligible. He himself is a member of the Sons of the American Legion. His father, Jack Johnson, is a former race- track operator and is the owner of Team Johnson Motorsports. Regarding the sponsorship tie-in, the elder Johnson has said, "Wartime- era veterans of all ages have shown support and enthusi- asm for NASCAR as dedicated fans. Sponsoring #76, The American Legion Freedom Car, is our way of saying 'thank you' for serving our great country and for their contin- ued support of this great American pastime." , Before the Freedom Car pro- gram began, Jerick had already established himself promi- nently among racecar drivers. When I mentioned reading about his successes, he con- firmed it. "I did well. I won' three track championships back in the Midwest." One of the sites he compet- ed at was the Mizzou Speedway in Missouri, owned by his dad, When he told me this, I remarked that the name sounded Japanese and won- dered if the Japanese were tak- ing over car racing, too. He laughed and pointed out that the title is an abbreviation for Missouri. Hey, wadda I know? I'm originally from New Joisey. Reportedly, the Freedom Car is quite an expensive and macho machine, with a 660 horsepower engine and a top speed of 195 MPH. I got a lit- tle antsy while waiting at Post 316 for Jerick and his team- mates to arrive. Hearing sirens, I was relieved to learn that the car collision out front didn't involve his. As a con- genital worrywart, I asked him if he needed auto insurance on it. He laughed again.. Send letters to: The Editor, The Leader, P.O.

Turner Butler Boulevard. I The $7 million expansion will decrease the size of the existing garden center from 7,000 to approximately'6,000-square-feet, utilizing the remaining space to complete- ly remodel'the interior including new ceil- ings, flooring and shelves to equal the size of the full-line stores. Manager Chrissy Sullivan Tuesday called 'the project a standard Target expansion that while increasing the floor space from 630,000-square-feet to 647,000-square-feet will also allow the store to offer, a wider range of products.

S My mother used to type : for a living. She loves to type, and yet, just like most of us, this computer world left her and about 400 mil- lion of the rest of us in a state of panic. I still panic, for crying out loud. Every morning before I turn on the computer, I get on both knees, light a can- dle and gently run my fin- gers over the keyboard as a kind of technology caress hoping that my computer will turn back on. I've taught my mother how to do this as well, only she thinks you have to do this in order to turn on the computer. I did not want to take any chances with the computer gods, so OK, I lied, but at least she can e-mail me. Actually, most of the e- mails I get from my mother are complaints about things thatpop up on her screen, don't print, print wrong, warning signs that a virus plough through her comput- er or a connection that is so slow she'd be better off typ- ing and mailing a note. The other day, I drove over to where they live (they do have flush toilets, by the way) to help her update her virus protection. This was a two-martini job. It was also a wake-up call. Note to self: Never move into a rural area where you cannot get a fast con- nection. The martinis were gin martinis because this was a big job. For smaller jobs, like deleting files of crapola, helping her open a photo- graph of yet another place she will never be able to see, and notifying a few thou- sand of the other virus pro- tection companies that we are not going to renew any- thing, I usually have vodka. Vodka is for the easy jobs, and sometimes, when I am just taking a peek and mak- ing certain she has enough candles to light and that r she'd dusted the computer properly, I just have a nice pinot grigio. Actually getting the com- puter into the house proves that modern miracles do exist. My brothers, sister and I started suggesting years ago that it would be a great way to see the world if they couldn't leave home, stay in contact with friends, and try to appear hip. Six years later, and count- less trips to the liquor store, we succeeded, and truth be told, my mother does pretty darn well, and my father is now at least saying the word, computer, and he makes the ice cubes. S Actually, I think it was *peer pressure. My mom's girlfriends were e-mailing each other, and she didn't want to miss anything. Lately, I've been leaving my cell phone on the table, right next to the wine bot- tie, when I, visit. It's a start, don't you think? ' I'd say a cell phone set-up is worth what? Maybe a 12- pack of really dark micro- beer. Author's children are characters in book made from his letters by KATHY HARTMAN EDITOR Once upon a time there were four little children whose dad went to a land far, far away to fight in a war called Vietnam. So begins the story of the Michalove children, a story that wound its way to Ocean Palms Elementary School this week, when the dad who went to war now the grandfather of nine read aloud some tales of the four little children. The tales are contained in a book published in 2005, 35 years after they first grew from the fertile mind of Larry Michalove, a retired Air Force officer and father of the four little children. "I've always told stories to my kids," Mlichalove, 73, said before settling down in a folding chair to read heFOur, to dozens of TheFour L Ocean Palms ':." -Ukfl third-graders , gathered at - his feet -Monday.. characters in the book, "The Four Little Children," are the four Michalove children: Lisa, David, Stacy and Karen.

"All four children are in all the stories," Freedman said in a telephone interview. Letters from Thailand The stories, created by Michalove in 1970 .nd 1971, were contained in his letters from Thailand to his family outside Birmingham, Ala. "He would write every single day," said his wife, Sybil Michalove, who saved all the letters. About once a week, she said, a letter ehilrepn would con- le tain a story S Oy. for the chil- dren. "Once a week we L._k-wouJd .sit, the stories," said the mom, who is "Mother" in the 37 tales. "MNy older sister remem- bers my halove.. mom reading the stories," said L"wnrr-'" Freedman, 37, who was a tot when her dad was navi- gator on an AC-130 gunship that flew into Vietnam from Ubon, Thailand. The mission of the 16th Special Operations Squadron iSOS) was to stop enemy trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which was used to transport men and supplies from North Vietnam to the battlefields of South Vietnam. But Michalove took on another mission keeping in touch with his children, ages 2 to 9-1/2, through magical adventures under the sea, on top of the world and points in between. A "magical character" named Ramore "took them on all their adventures and watched over them while their father was away at war," Freedman said. '*.qe were, po@tamfe;co i s.'aTnts,--: -.a" and-jfl-'vas-'al-' magical," she said. Bound for safe keeping The tales remained folded up in Michalove's letters until ,1986, when they were copied and bound into four green vinyl keepsake books - one for each of the sib- lings. Then about two years ago, after David's wife had been reading the stories to their child Sarah Michalove, the author was invited to read some of the tales in Sarah's kindergarten class. At the suggestion of the kindergarten teacher, Michalove put the stories into a book, which was self- published last year. "I did it because a teacher in Atlanta encouraged me to put them [the stories] in a book," the author told the Ocean Palms youngsters, many of whom held their own copies of the book. Michalove explained that the photographs of his chil- prolo Dy KATH I Y A I MAN Sybil Michalove signs an autograph in an Ocean Palms stu- dent's copy of 'The Four Little Children," written by Michalove's husband decades ago for their children. dren on the book's cover are the same photographs he kept in his hootch in Thailand. The landscape on the cover, he said, is a replica of a favorite painting that hung in the three-bedroom'apart- ment where his family lived while he was away. "That's the tree in the story where they meet the magical man," he told the See AUTHOR, A-10 Family meals priority with Wilkinsons by KATHY NICOLETTI COLL'MNIS T Family meals are a priority for Dana and Thom Wilkinson of Ponte Vedra Beach. They believe that sharing good food and conversation daily during breakfast and din- ner contributes to the close- ness of their family. The Wilkinsons have more flexibility in the morning than most other families have.

Some of her favorite recipes include an ele- gant'Cr6me Brulee, a simply delicious chocolate cake, and a unique Ten to twelve layer ,cake. .: : " Dana said her Griddle Cake is made from "an. old-time recipe." The 10 to 12 layers of the cake are baked individually in a seasoned cast iron skillet in the oven., ';Wilkinson said that no other type of bakeware will work as well.Each of the layers bakes quickly and evenly with the right amount of crispness on the edges in the heat-retaining cast iron skillet. Wilkinson makes, lemon icing as filling between each layer and on top of the cake. Other types of icing can also be used, and years ago homemade jelly would have been used instead of icing. The finished cake is not beautiful to look at but tastes delicious, she said. For the past several years, Wilkinson has made a Griddle Cake for Christmas gifts for both her parents and her husband's par- ents. The cake keeps in the refrigerator for about a month and both sets of parents look forward to enjoying the cake for several weeks during the holidays. ,Since ,each layer is made individually, it takes several hours to make Griddle Cakes with a single skillet. Wilkinson said that she really appreciated a Christmas gift of a second seasoned cast iron skillet from her mother-in-law who also has made Griddle Cakes. The recipe for Chocolate Chocolate Cake was handed down to Wilkinson by her mother and it probably was in her family farther back than' See RECIPES, A-10 Photo by KATHY NICOLET'I Dana Wilkinson serves squares of Chocolate Chocolate Cake made from a family recipe. 7,. - February 15. 2006 Ellarjements photo submitted The Mayport Council of the Navy League installed new Officers at their regular meeting in January at Ocean Breeze, Naval Station Mayport.

When Mlichalove said he had been in Vietnam, several youngsters said their grand- fathers had been there, too. Flying night missions Michalove told the stu- dents that his missions were done under cover of dark- riess. "I only flew at night because I had a great big air- plane," he said. The AC-130 gunship, developed from the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, "destroyed or damaged an average of 10,000 trucks per year over the Ho Chi MNtinh Frail," according to a descrip- tion of the 16th SOS on a WXVeb site twww.globalsecuri- ty.org). The aircraft, which had a. crew of a dozen or more, became operational at Ubon in 1968 and "participated in every major campaign" in Southeast Asia until the end of the war, according to the site. The airplane's "distin- guished record in Southeast Asia was not achieved with- out cost," the site notes, adding, "52 aircrew members w'ere killed in action." Nlichalove said the crew of his gunship came perilously close to becoming part of the statistics. One night, the airplane took a hit from 37 mm anti- aircraft fire and had to make an emergency landing, he said. "I had on my parachute,. Michalove said. , That was March 26, 1971, a date he remembers because it is his wife's birthday. i It was also eerily similar to an incident that took place the year before to another AC-130 crew, he said. That plane, also hit by 37 mm fire, went down within five miles of where Michalove's plane was hit, Michalove said. The navigator aboard that ill-fated gunship was a friend of Michalove's, who had written to Michalove about a month 'before the crash, Michalove said. The friend, Lt. Col. Charles S. Rowley, and all but one of the crew were lost, Michalove said. Within the past several months, Michalove said, he contacted Rowley's daughter and sent her the letter Rowley wrote to Michalove shortly before he went down. The letter Michalove wrote home the day his crew had its close call contained no reference to the incident, Sybil NMichalove said, adding that it wasn't until months later that she found out. A happy ending He kept some information out of his letters to his wife, he said. "She had enough to worry about." None of the children's sto- ries make reference to their father's work, either. Not the 114 combat missions he took part in, nor the eight air medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses he was awarded. When the dad's overseas tour was ending, he let his children know about it through a story. "Soon your father will return home from the war to look after you and your beauru!i hmothel," hamoie tells the children in the final tale. ' "Your dad will be home safely next week now isn't that a happy ending to all our adventures."

It would be hard for any chocolate lover to resist this soft and light chocolate cake made with buttermilk and topped with fudgy icing. The cake is mixed easily in a saucepan and baked in a large rectangular pan. Then the icing is cooked until it becomes like fudge and quick- ly cooled and beaten to spread- ing consistency. Wilkinson serves Creme Brulee with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a colorful and delicious dessert. The cus- tard is made in several steps and the technique produces a rich and smooth finished product. Vanilla is one of the key ingredients and Wilkinson' recommends only using real vanilla extract and high quali- .ty eggs for the best flavor. The finished custard is topped with a layer of brown sugar which is caramelized under the broiler to form a crispy, sweet crust. This is a good choice for a dessert for entertaining or special occa- sions since the custard can be made a couple days in advance and the crust can be made sev- eral hours before serving. The following are some of Dana Wilkinson's cake and dessert recipes and Thorn Wilkinson's recipe for Oysters Rockefeller. Griddle Cake two and two-thirds cups self rising flour two and two-thirds cup sugar one and one-third cup cook- ing oil 1 cup milk 7 regular eggs 10-inch cast iron skillet :In a mixer bowl add all ingredients. Beat until "bub- bly." Pour one-half cup of mix- ture into greased griddle/skil- let. (Use Pam Spray.) Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the layer and place each layer to cool on a wax paper sheet. Repeat the steps, adding one- half cup of mixture to skillet and baking. Yields 10 to 12 lay- ers. Icing: 1 cup all purpose flour two and two-thirds cup sugar two and one-half cups boil- ing water 4 egg yolks lots of lemon zest juice of 1 to 2 lemons Mix flour and sugar in the top of a double boiler. Add boiling water slowly, stirring constantly. Beat egg yolks.Add a little hot filling to yolks, then add yolks to the rest of the hot mixture. Add lemon juice and zest. Taste ,and add more lemon to your liking. Stir fill- ing constantly until thickened. Cornstarch can be added for extra thickening if needed. Icing/filling is ready to spread on cake layers. Creme Brulee 1 quart whipping cream 4 T sugar 3 tsp. real vanilla extract 8 egg yolks (Eggland eggs recommended) pinch of salt one and one-quarter cups brown sugar sliced fresh strawberries and blueberries In a large saucepan, scald the cream. Remove from heat. Add sugar; stir well until sugar is completely dissolved. Add vanilla and stir well. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until light lemon color. Then, carefully stir hot cream mixture into yolks. (Temper the hot mixture first by adding small amounts to egg yolks.) Add a pinch of salt. Strain mixture into a 10- inch deep dish pie plate or 8 4 oz. ramekins. Place dish/dishes in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or 30 to 40 minutes for ramekins. Cool. Refrigerate until well chilled. For brown sugar crust, pre- heat broiler. Spread brown sugar on top of chilled custard, making a layer one-quarter inch thick. The brown sugar must be lump free. Broil for 2 to 5 minutes, turning the dish as necessary to broil evenly. Broil until sugar has caramelized. Chill or cool before serving. Serve with fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries. *The custard may be prepared 2-3 days in advance. The crust may be made several hours before serving. Chocolate Chocolate Cake 2 sticks butter 1 cup water 4 T cocoa 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp. soda '61 11"ai NU o n e 'ni one and one-Hall tsp. vanilla 2 cups sugar one-half cup buttermilk 2 eggs In a 2 quart sauce pan, melt the butter. Remove the pan from the heat. To this, add the cocoa, water, and sugar. After this is blended, add the dry ingredients. To the half cup of buttermilk, add the soda and 2 slightly beaten eggs. Add this to the cake along with the vanilla. Pour into a greased and floured 9x12 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. Icing: 1 cup water one-third cup cocoa one-third cup milk one-third cup butter 1 tsp. vanilla In a sauce pan, mix together all of the ingredients except the vanilla. Cook to a slow boil. Cook until a soft ball is formed when droplets are placed into a cup of cool water. At this stage, remove from heat and add the vanilla. Place the saucepan in a large bowl of sink with ice cold water. Hand beat the icing until the mix- ture has slightly thickened. Spread on the warm cake. Oysters Rockefeller 1 cup butter one-half cup plain flour 2 cloves of garlic, minced one-half tsp. salt one-quarter tsp. pepper 2 pkgs. frozen spinach cayenne chopped 1 tsp. anchovy paste 1 lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled I pint standard oysters grated Parmesan cheese Tabasco sauce Baking shells (use about 24 small shells for one oyster each) Cook bacon well, drain and crumble. Melt butter in a skil- let. Add the flour, stir and cook about 5 minutes until well blended. Blend in oyster water, garlic, salt, cayenne, and anchovy paste.

This may be done ahead and frozen. Using cook- ie sheets, cover with crumpled aluminum foil. Place baking shells on foil. The crumpled foil holds the shells in place and makes clean-up easier. Place one oys- ter in each shell. Top with a spoon of spinach mixture, 3 drops of Tabasco or any hot sauce, crumbled bacon, .and then dust with Parmesan cheese. Place in the middle of the oven and broil for 8 to 10 minutes until bubbly.Serve about three as an appetizer. This can be made into a casse- role. Also the spinach is deli- cious as a vegetable.

Fishing Leader B-3 SClassifieds B-4 February 15, 200Soccer photos B-8 February 15, 2006 Hanburry's goal the.difference as Nease blanks Merritt Island By ROBERT DeANGELO SPORTS EDITOR FORT LAUDERDALE - Dynasty begins with "D." And though Nease girls soccer coach Dave Silverberg was apprehen- sive about calling his program a dynasty following the Panther.s second consecutive state cham- pionship (and third in the past five years) Saturday night, he did praise the team's defense as key to the title drive. The Panther's defeated Merritt Island 1-0 Saturday evening at Fort Lauderdale's Lockhart Stadium in a back and forth game that turned on Stacey Hanburry's goal nine minutes into the second half. Senior midfielder Nikki Lombardo blasted a free kick from just left of the penalty box that curved toward the net. Mustangs keep- er Natalie Feller got a fingertip on the ball, but it found the right shoulder of a charging Hanburry for the only score of the Class 4A championship game. "I usually play forward but I was playing defense this game. I had to mark [Mustangs star for- ward Cara Bortz] so I knew I wouldn't get many chances on offense," a beaming Hanburry said. "Nikki just gave a perfect ball, I couldn't ask for a better ball and it was my only opportunity to score so I just ran straight to the ball and knocked it in with my shoulder." Silverberg praised Hanburry for tenacious defense on Bortz, who scored 38 goals this season. In fact, Bortz had only one shot on goal, and that was from way outside the box late in the first half. PANTHERS 1 MUSTANGS 0 Nease's strategy was to shad- ow Bortz wherever she went on the field. "I had to make sure I knew where she was at all times," Hanburry said, "and not lose track of her. I did O.K. I real- ly have no idea why I was picked" Silverberg cited the 5'8 Hanburry's ability to win balls out of the air as one reason she was selected to mark Merritt Island's most dangerous scoring threat. The coach then credited the entire Panthers defense for: securing the championship. "Each of our title seasons has been so different," Silverberg said. "Last year was kind of a perfect season because we had no injuries and no major prob- lems. "This year it was injury after injury and kids kept stepping up .. but I have to say it was our defense that carried us through the playoffs. Time and again they came through and our defense is really the reason we won tonight." From Catherine O'Donnell in goal, to defenders Erin Hoover, Jessica Gambill and Dani Nelson, along with midfielder Jamie Silverberg and the special assignment Hanburry drew against Merritt Island, the Panthers thwarted every offen- sive surge Saturday. The Mustangs were limited to only two shots on goal in the first half, but by pushing everyone forward for most of the second half in search of the equalizer, finished with 10 shots on goal and'two corner kicks. "They put a lot of pressure on us after we scored and they had some good opportunities, some good shots," said Panthers soph- omore keeper O'Donnell. "They put a lot of shots on net in the final minutes [but] I was ready." The Nease defense was so effective it kept the high-pow- ered Mustangs off the board for only the second time this sea- son. "I don't know if we could have played differently," said Merritt Island forward Michelle Photo by ROB DeANGELO Stacey Hanburry (8) deflects the ball off her right shoulder to score the only goal of the game as the Panthers defeated Merritt Island to wrap up their second consecutive state championship. Bush. "Every single one of us who came in left everything they had on the field.", Earning a second straight state title was anything but a cakewalk for Nease. Plagued by late-season injuries, Silverberg's troops relied heavily on unsung heroes to step in at key posi- tions. The Panthers also got a boost in Friday's state semifinal game when senior forward Lauren Crossan returned from a sprained ankle to score both goals in a 2-0 shutout over Pensacola Washington High. On Saturday, it was midfielder Kristen Hoover who gave her teammates a lift by getting back on the field after sustaining a knee injury against St. Augustine in last week's regional final. Hoover only played about five minutes for Nease, but the Panthers scored their lone goal during that time. "I found out Wednesday I could play a little," said Hoover, who sported a large brace on her leg. "I have a second-degree tear of my MCL... I couldn't do too much but I just had to be a part of the championship game." Nease finished the season with a 27-2-2 record, its only losses coming against Class 5A soccer powerhouse Satellite High School. ~I~e~"""~"-""-% -T9AA~;L..Um rAI February 15, 2006 Ultimate 16 Physique Transfr PROGRAM INCLUDES: Complete Fitness Assessment Nutrition Plan Before and After Pictures 50 Sessions of One-On-One Personal Training in our Private Suites * Weekly Nutritional Counseling Reassessments In just 8 weeks, Corn lost 3% body fat and doubled her pushups!

The Lady Panthers traveled to West Port, where a fourth quar- ter rally fell three points short. Senior co-captain Kate Russi led Nease with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore Molly Manning chipped in with 17 \ ;t I points. , "A great leader, a great per- son," Nease coach Sherri Anthony said Monday of Russi, . one of her senior co-captains. "She has contributed so much." The girls team loses Russi, Liz Rosenfeld, Danielle Cox and Alison Gabrielle.

They got the rebound and made a layup that put them up by three," said Anthony. Cox made a pair of free throws with two minutes left that brought Nease back. "We played in a hostile envi-' ronment, on the road, against a 24-2 team. We did everything we needed to do to win," said Anthony. "We shot better than 55 percent from the' floor, 75 from the [free throw] line, They were-averaging 65 per game, we were averaging 51. We had 51, they had 54." The Nease girls, 1998-99 state titleists, finished 19-9 after going 20-8 last year. The Lady Panthers have made 12 playoff appearances. Counting last week's defeat by West Port, they've lost in the regional quarterfinals five years in a row. "The kids played tough, played inspired coming off the district loss," said Anthony, Each team split with Atlantic during the season. The Lady Panthers won at, Port Orange 63-51 Dec. 1, then lost to the Sharks at home 52-34 Jan. 5. The boys lost to Atlantic at home 53-50 in OT pec. 1, then beat the Sharks at Port Orange 46-42 Jan. 5. The boys team was seeded second to Clay in last week's district tourney. Junior Christian Dennis led Nease with 13 points in the losing cause. Senior co-captain Zach Paterick added 10. The boys finished with a '17-8 record, compared to a 10-12 mark in 2004-05 that broke a string of five consecutive play- off appearances. The Nease boys, state champs in 20.01-02, have. made six playoff appear- ances. "Kind 6f unfortunate," Nease boys coach Bud Beech ,said' Monday of his team's loss to Atlantic. "We thought we were primed to win a district cham- pionship this year. We played a pretty good team. They played tough defense, caused us prob- lems on offense. "The Atlantic team had a lit- tle more, of the aggressiveness on defense. We, were on our heels' the whole night," said Beech. Nease tied the game in the third quarter 42-all on a three- pointer by David Swendsenri. "At that point we turned it over," said Beech. "They jumped out to a five-point lead [from which Nease couldn't recover]." Beech said he was pleased with the final record and sec- ond seed in the district tourna- ment, plus a 53-49 conference championship victory at Orange Park.

The Secret To Great-Looking Drywall Surfaces Whether you're building a new home or adding a new room, homeowners can ensure a top-quality drywall instal- lation by following a few basic but very important gypsum board appli- cations and finishing guidelines. Installing drywall panels isn't an overly complex process. The panels are available in a variety of sizes, with 4- by 8-foot and 4- by 12-foot sheets being the most commonly used. If you're doing the work yourself, the smaller 4- by 8-foot panels are easier to handle. Drywall panels are most commonly available in 1/2- and 5/8-inch thick- nesses. The 1/2-inch panels are ideal for most wall surfaces, while ceilings gen- erally require a 5/8-inch thickness to EQUIPMENT R AL bygi TUCKERR ---- Rentals & Sales QUALITY PRODUCTS COMPETITIVE PRICES SUPERIOR SERVICE TABLES & CHAIRS BOBCAT | DITCH WITCH CONCRETE SAW COMPRESSORS PRESSURE WASHERA-,' Is GENERATORS LAWN EQUIPMENT iFV1 SCAFFOLDING, MIXERS AIRLESS SPRAYERS I " MON.

Drywall panel installation techniques are fairly stan- dard. The real trick to achieving great- looking results lies in how well the pan- els are finished. A poorly finished drywall surface may show visible "joint banding" or "photographing" problems. These terms refer to a noticeable difference in appearance between the drywall panel and the .treated joint areas. The prob- lem stems from the fact that the dry- wall face paper and the joint com- pounds used to finish panel joints have different porosities and textures. That means that they accept paint different- ly, and those differences can remain visible even after the surface has been painted. These problems are especially a con- cern in larger rooms with an abun- dance of critical lighting (lighting that strikes wall and ceiling surfaces at an angle) or when semi-gloss or eggshell paints are used. Priming or sealing the drywall surface prior to painting often doesn't solve the problem. Conventional primers can help equalize the texture differences between the drywall face paper and treated joints, but they may not equal- ize the porosity differences. Sealers, on the other, are typically effective at equalizing porosity differences, but often do not correct texture variations. To completely eliminate drywall joint banding and telegraphing, drywall con- tractors use a technique called "skim coating," which involves covering the entire gypsum board surface with a thin coat of joint compound. This process leaves a film thick enough to fill imperfections in the joint work, smooth the paper texture and provide a uniform surface for decorating. After the skim coat has dried, a high-quality drywall primer is applied prior to paint- ing. Whether using a professional or as a do-it-yourself project, remember. that there are no shortcuts for creating great-looking gypsum board walls and ceilings. Each step of the installation process must be done carefully and cor- rectly, including board finishing, which has a major impact on how well the finished drywall surface will look. = U 100f Stisaction Guareed Heating, Air Condtioning, Indoor Air Odality Now, this is easy money! - r; I 0 Page 8B I The Beaches Leader[Ponte %l'edra Leader ry VISA~J Contact Us | Permissions | Preferences | Technical Aspects | Statistics | Internal | Privacy Policy © 2004 - 2010 University of Florida George A.
