Fund-raiser bumps annual free concert
by KATHY HARTMAN
The free Jacksonville
Symphony Memorial weekend
concert, presented by BRASS
for the past six years at the TPC
Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach,
has been bumped for a fund-
raising concert.
The seventh annual BRASS
concert was on the orchestra's
schedule but gave way to
Friday's "Celebrate! A Evening
of Music and Moonlight,"
which will benefit the Cultural
Center at Ponte Vedra Beach
and the Jacksonville
Symphony Orchestra.
"There's so many people that
are disappointed we're not
doing it," said Holly Dunlap,
president of BRASS (Beaches
Residents Actively Supporting
the Symphony).
She said she had received
many calls from residents who
were looking forward to the
event, held annually since
2002 over Memorial Day week-
end on the grounds of the
Tournament Players Club at
Guests would bring food,
drink, blankets, chairs, tables
and sometimes candles to the
concert, which featured patri-
otic music highlighted by a
medley of theme songs from
each of the branches of mili-
Typically it was held on a
fairway, but last year it moved
to the area behind the new
TPC clubhouse, which opened
for the May 2007 The Players
This year, however, the free
event was canceled, replaced
by an evening of dinner, enter-
tainment and live and silent
auctions that is a fund-raiser
for the arts.
"It's a colliding of two won-
derful events," said Jim Van
Vleck, chairman of the
Symphony Association Board
and interim director of the
"We finally had to almost
flip a coin and say we had to
do one or the other," said

Fire fee
gets 1st
The St. Johns County
Commission has agreed to hold
hearings on a possible change in
the way fire services are funded
in the county.
The vote May 13 was 4-1, with
Commissioner Ben Rich saying
he needed "to do a lot more
research" before considering "a
complete change in the 'way the
county does its business."
Two public hearings must still
be held to make the change,
which would fund fire services
with an assessment on each ben-
efiting property instead of the
existing method of funding with,
a property tax.
Through a Municipal Service
Benefit Unit (MSBU), properties
would be assessed a fee - which
would be included on a property
tax bill - based on an estimated
cost of providing the services to
that property.
For example, businesses that
house flammable products would
pay more than homes because
such a business would have a
higher risk than would a home.
Also, larger buildings have a
greater potential for a large fire,
which would require more water
to extinguish.
A study done by Government
Services Group of Tallahassee
estimated a home with 900
square feet would be assessed
$144 per year compared with
$360 for a home with 3,500
square feet.
No hearing date was set.

A decade has passed since
Ponte Vedra Beach resident
Warren Cooke of Yellowcard
shared the same stage with all
five of the original band.
This weekend, Cooke will
reunite in Jacksonville Beach
with former frontman Ben
Dobson, drummer Longineau
"L.P." Parsons III, lead guitarist
Ben Harper and vocalist and
guitarist Todd Clary to perform
as Where We Stand - a tribute
to the last album recorded with
that lineup.
Where We Stand will take the
stage at 10:45 p.m. Saturday at
Freebird Live, 200 1st St. N. His
Name is Iron and Does It Matter
will open the all-ages show.
Tickets are $10.
For Cooke, who plays the
bass, the trip down memory
lane isn't without a price. Most
of the former members have
kept a toehold in the music
industry, but playing the songs
that helped launched the fledg-
ling punk artists is as challeng-
ing as keeping up with latter day
lineup changes.
"We have been rehearsing
every day," Cooke said in a tele-
phone interview Monday on his
way to practice. "We haven't
played these songs in over 10
Cooke lives in Ponte Vedra
Beach with his wife, the former
Morgan Hargrove, and his two
sons from a previous marriage.
Harper flew in from his
California home to perform
with his former bandmates, and
Ben Dobson arrived later in the
Yellowcard originated at
Douglas Anderson School of the
Arts in Jacksonville in 1997 -
the same year they issued their
freshman release "Midget
Tossing." 'Where We Stand" was
released two years later in 1999
to rave reviews and appearances
on big name tours.
But the ride came to a halt for
Cooke shortly after the band
recorded The Underdog EP in
2002. Parsons also left to pursue
other ventures.
Clary and Dobson, who was
replaced by vocalist Ryan Key,
were the first two to leave.
Harper's departure in 2005 sig-
naled some dissension in the
remaining ranks when the band
issued an official statement
announcing Harper's plans to
move on "to focus on his indie
label .. .which was the original
imprint to release Yellowcard
records as far back as 1997."
The Freebird show might be
the last chance for Cooke to per-
form on a home stage before

Barrels for B.E.A.M. is a
week-long food collection
project that began Tuesday
and will end May 27.
Barrels placed in local gro-

Beach has three barrel sites -
participants can drop non-
perishable food items.
At the end of the week, the
barrels will be collected and
the food will be disbursed by

in need.
"The summer is the time
we get the least amount of
food, but we need it the
most," said B.E.A.M.
Executive Director Cindy
People are on vacation dur-
ing the summer months,
which is also when children
are home from school and
families need the extra help,
Funkhouser said.
"We are hoping that people
will buy some extra food as
they do their regular grocery
shopping and drop it into the
"Barrels for B.E.A.M.,"
Funkhouser said.
The project was initiated by
a church group that adopted
B.E.A.M. as a local mission to

member of BRASS.
Both events planned to have the Symphony
perform at the PGA Clubhouse one week apart.
"Trying to fit those together ... [was] kind of
a scheduling nightmare," he said, noting that
other events also crowd the Symphony's calen-
dar, such as the Mother's Day free concert in
Jacksonville Beach.
Dunlap said BRASS could have tried to find a
different venue for its concert but didn't want to
"compete and take away from" The Players'

"For the first time ever, the TPC, the Ponte

forces to bring a lovely evening under the stars
on Friday, May 23," Dunlap writes in the
"Although we will all miss our Memorial Day
concert this year, 'Celebrate' is an evening not to
be missed. The potential financial benefit to the
Symphony is great. I hope that all of you will
support 'Celebrate' and thus support our JSO,"
the message says.
"Be assured however, your BRASS Board is at
work pursuing possibilities for the 2009
Memorial Day Community Concert!"
"Truthfully, we're thrilled with both of the
events," Van Vleck said. "It was one of those
things that you just couldn't find a way to
divide the baby."
Dunlap said BRASS plans to return its free con-
cert to Memorial weekend next year because the
audience enjoys the military theme.

Principal Dane Gilbert said
he notified the list makers
that the Neptune Beach
school met criteria to be
ranked as high as 89 "or

schools based on the number
of students who take
Advanced Placement (AP)
exams and the number in the
graduating class.

increased significantly since
then and "I knew we would
be going up in the rankings."
Instead, Fletcher was left
off the list entirely, Gilbert
said, adding he noticed the

Newsweek to make list makers
aware of the oversight and

At Fletcher, students took a
total of 1,759 AP exams in
the 2006-07 school year. That

The Leader's Opinion
Street vendor plan may
prove costly for AB
Beware the law of unintended consequences.
That caveat should be at the forefront of any dis-
cussion about allowing outdoor vendors in Atlantic
It has been suggested that street vendors be per-
mitted to operate in the city.
Exactly who could sell what and where has not
been settled.
The answers to those concerns are critical.
City officials should be concerned that pushcarts
could clog roadways and sidewalks - and even the
beachfront if permitted.
Goods for sale could be as simple as just hot dogs
and soft drinks - but even that could take business
away from brick and mortar establishments that are
stakeholders in the community and bet their bottom
line on having hungry crowds to feed.
If a wider range of goods is available - such as sun-
tan lotions, flip flops, beach towels, ... - there will
always be another guy who wants a kiosk for his spe-
cialty. Think of the countless tacky possibilities. The
unintended consequences of inviting street vendors
into the city's streets and byways could be a dimin-
ished quality of life.
Where will the city draw the line? And, just as
importantly, what will it cost the city to defend that
Allowing street vendors has been suggested as a
means to jumpstart things during a slow economic
Without substantial consideration and planning,
allowing street vendors could prove costly.

Appreciate the kindness of so many
To the editor:
On April 19 I had the unfor-
tunate luck of having a bad
wreck while out roadbiking. I
was in south Jacksonville
Beach and went down hard
after having a cat run into my
tire. After crashing I was imme-
diately helped by three very
kind gentlemen. One called
911, one sat with me and one
took care of my bike and hel-
met. When the paramedics
arrived, again I was taken very
good care of.
I know it's their job, but I
truly appreciated how well
they did it in my time of need.
I don't know any of their
names, and that I regret, but I
want all of them to know how
much I appreciate them help-
ing me.
I also want to thank Dr.
Fleck and her staff at Baptist
Medical Center Beaches. Her
kind words while delivering
bad news were perfect. I have a
long road to recovery ahead of
me, but I'm comforted by the
fact that I live in a great com-
munity with great people.
What started out as a terrible
day has been followed up by
one kind act after another by
strangers, family and friends. I
cannot thank everyone

AB teen council losing a mentor
To the editor:
With the retirement of John
Goelz, as Atlantic BeachTeen
Council mentor, this very
special program seems to be
at risk. The council provides
teens access to local govern-
ment and encourages them to
become leaders within their
city.Teens have had an oppor-
tunity to influence skateboard
issues and have provided
staffing power for events such
as Marsh Fest, Art in the Park
and Dancing in the Streets.
The council also provides
activities and entertainment
for the young people of
Atlantic Beach. Past events
have included a surf contest,
movies in Bull Park and an
annual concert in Jack Russell
Park featuring local youth
bands, as well as a youth
acoustic music event at Bull
,Park. The Teen Council also
raises money to provide for
an Atlantic Beach Teen
Scholarship. Programs like
this should be provided with
continued financial support
from the city of Atlantic
Beach as well as the leader-
ship to assist these youths in
this process. At a time when
our youth are encouraged to
devote volunteer hours for a
Bright Futures requirement it
would behoove us to assist
our youths with various
opportunities to help our city
remain our "hidden gem" but
also to supply roles that
encourage initiative in our
youth as well as recreational
I am proud to live in a city
that offers its youth opportu-
nities to grow in roles of lead-
ership as well as volun-
John Goelz has contributed
to this wonderful endeavor
for many years by encourag-
ing Atlantic Beach youth to
lead and mentor other
Atlantic Beach teens as well as
providing various forms of
entertainment during special
events I send kudos to him.

Please define resort casual
W e are getting ready
to go out and the
inevitable question
comes my way. What are
people wearing?
It's a couple thing: a ritual.
The Big Guy knows to check.
Living on an island has
taught us that "resort casual"
usually does it. You can count
on seeing everything when
you go out. The term "resort
casual" has always struck me
as funny. Is there a resort for-
mal? Who comes up with
these terms?
For men it is the question
of the ages. Jacket or no jack-
Always have a traditional
blazer at the ready, I advise

Living in the South has lots
of bonuses. I no longer have
to dress for success and, best
of all, I do not have to wear
panty hose.
When I am old, I will wear
purple; right now I will wear
whatever I want. Island wear
is determined by the weather.
Layering is the best strategy,
especially with colder than
cold air conditioning in some

The hotter the weather the
more loads of wash. A sultry,
humid day demands many
clothing changes. It might be
golf or tennis or gardening.
Once in the house after a
project the first stop is the
washing machine. If it does-
n't go in the dishwasher or
washing machine, it doesn't
last long at our house.
Our washer is a machine in
constant motion and we con-

cise: lIt's tougher for guys; 'the'

goes from shorts and polo all
the way to full penguin, the

looser, but potentially more
emotional. We often check to
see what the girl friends are
going to wear. Not sure of an
upcoming event, I play the
costume game. Will I be in
black and sultry, or cute and

More letters to the editor:
Vendor plan will jeopardize local merchants' stores
To the editor:
Street vendors in Atlantic
Beach is not a good idea.
Our local merchants are
struggling in this economy
to keep their doors open.
They currently hold long
term leases, writing checks
out monthly for overhead,
taxes and operating licenses.
These hard working area
business owners, employ
our area residents. Why do
we want small vendors to
set up shop in front of the
merchants who already sell
ice cream, tee shirts and
local merchandise?
The local color of these
small shops and restaurants
will be replaced by "for rent"
signs in vacant windows.

Animal control is overzealous in Atlantic Beach
To the editor:
After reading letters in
your paper from concerned
citizens in Atlantic Beach
regarding the animal control
issue in our community, I
decided that I too needed to
express my thoughts on the
subject after witnessing the
events of this past weekend
in Jack Russell Park.
During a youth soccer
practice, one of the parents
let their yellow lab off the
leash. The dog was walking
around the group of kids for
a few minutes then lay
down. Animal Control offi-
cers were passing by on
Plaza, spotted the dog and
drove over to the group of
However, instead of stop-
ping the truck and walking
over to discuss the issue with
the owner, the male, officer
drove directly into the mid-
dle of the kids' practice field,
running over some of their
equipment in the process.
Of course, this angered the
parents so they confronted
the officer with the damage,
which he denied doing. An
Atlantic Beach.police officer
was then called to the scene
by Animal Control because
they felt threatened, and
they continued to deny run-
ning over and damaging any
of the soccer equipment.
Taxpayers of Atlantic
Beach would like to know
how the city justifies two
Animal Control officers rid-
ing together in one truck
when even the police ride
alone. It does not take two
officers to ticket owners of
passive dogs lying down in a
When calling the number
for Animal Control, one
often gets a recording saying
to leave a message, which
does no good if there is real-
ly a dangerous dog on the
loose. Why is one officer not
on dispatch duty and the
other patrolling?
In these times of financial
.crisis and serious budget
issues, it is time to answer
some serious questions relat-
ing to the Animal Control
department of Atlantic
Beach. Citizens need to
know that they are safe from
dangerous animals running
free in our neighborhoods,

ed by overstaffed, over zeal-

How does an
Army chaplain
explain why a
good soldier
is killed?
everybody liked Staff
Sgt. Ronnie Sanders
because he always
looked after his soldiers,
the platoon he led in Iraq.
So Chaplain Brandon
Moore wasn't surprised
when the sergeant came to
him and asked, "Hey, chap-
lain, how many more of
these bandanas do you
Sanders was talking about
the bandanas of Operation
Bandanas, an organization
that a military wife and
mother, Mary Gray, started
at Fort Bragg, N.C., to offer
spiritual support and
encouragement to people
in the military. Printed on
each one is Psalm 91. "He
who dwells in the shelter of
the Most High shall abide
under the shadow of the
Almighty," it begins.
"All of his teeth in front
were gold," the chaplain
said, describing Sanders,
"so every time he smiled,
he had this big, gold smile."
Moore told Sanders he
had about 15 bandanas left
and that he'd give him a
d6zef'to give bi 'Mis"i'men
vfh i'ldidn't al'Bilt'dy 'haVe�"''
one. Most of the bandanas
had been handed out on
Jan. 2, 2007, at Fort Bragg
as the first unit of the new
surge prepared to leave for
14 months in Iraq.
On Feb. 3, 2007, Sgt.
Sanders, who had just said
goodbye to his wife, Rachel,
and his newborn twins, was
leading a mission of his
transportation unit when a
makeshift bomb detonated
near his vehicle in
Baghdad. He was killed. It
was the unit's first mission
of the new tour in Iraq.
The next day, the entire
platoon was called to for-
mation. That's when every-
body learned what hap-
"Nobody wanted to go
out there because our pla-
toon sergeant was like
Superman," said Sgt.
Lindell Shamley, one of
Sanders' friends and a
squad leader. "If something
happened to him, well,
what 'about us?" But they
did go out that day, and
they accomplished the mis-
sion their sergeant had
But what about God's
protecting us, as Psalm 91
says? What happened?
It was up to Chaplain
Moore to try to explain, if
there was an explanation,
at Sanders' memorial serv-
ice. Psalm 91 is a Psalm of
victory, he said in an inter-
view from Fort Bragg, but
there are other Psalms of
questions. "They say, 'God,
our enemy seems to be
gloating over me. How
come you're not there?'"
But he is there, Moore
said. God even has night
vision. And when someone
dies, that doesn't mean God
doesn't care. It means we
have choices to go and do
good, just as people have
choices to go and do bad.
In the midst of all that,
casualties happen.
So the bandana does not
lie, he said. God is there,
and groups all over the
nation are sending" dona-
tions to buy more ban-
"I stuck mine in my left
breast pocket, and it never
left," said Chief Warrant
Officer Four Terry Roberts.
Ronnie Sanders' bandana,
along with other belong-
ings, was shipped home to
his wife and twins.

Motown divas bring Celebrate PV full circle
by KATHY HARTMAN
A vocal quartet paying trib-
ute to women's groups of the
Motown music era will share
the stage with the
Jacksonville Symphony
Orchestra Friday in Ponte
Vedra Beach.
The event, "Celebrate: An
Evening of Moonlight and
Music," begins with dinner at
7 p.m. at the TPC Clubhouse,
followed by the concert at
8:45 p.m.
The event developed from
an annual fund-raiser of the
Cultural Center at Ponte
Vedra Beach, and although
this year's event has some
noticeable changes from
those of the past, it has
retained its early focus of food
and music under the stars.
Among the changes are a
second beneficiary - the
Jacksonville Symphony
Orchestra - live and silent
auctions and a shift in
responsibilities for organizing
and executing the event -
from the Cultural Center to
The Players Championship.
"For this year we broadened
the event to a fund-raiser for
the arts," Sheila McLenaghan,
senior vice president for cus-
tomer relations for the PGA
Tour, said Tuesday.
The committee that includ-
ed representatives from The
Players, the symphony and
the Cultural Center organized
what is considered a new
event, she said.
This year's showcased tal-
ent, the Las Vegas-based
group Radiance, brings the
event full circle from the 1998
event, when the Ponte Vedra
Leader noted, "Motown will
come to your town as Mary
Wilson of the Supremes head-
lines Celebrate Ponte Vedra
on Saturday, June 13."
Celebrate was in its second
year, having started in June
1997 as a "Music and Art
,Extravaganza" at Sawgrass
Village, running June 12 to
June 15 and featuring numer-
ous performers, demonstra-
tions by artists, fireworks and
a patron's tent set up on the
field area of Sawgrass Village
now occupied by a hotel and
parking lot.
Tables for eight were avail-
able for $500 and included a
dinner basket with wine,
according to a Leader report,
which also quoted a Center
volunteer saying the event
was nearly a year in the plan-
The following year, the
event, now called Celebrate
Ponte Vedra, was pared down
to one day and five musical
acts staged in the PGA Tour's
parking lot off County Road
Before the music began at
1:30 p.m., there was a dog
file photo right and submitted image above
Mary Wilson of the Supremes (right) per-
forms June 13, 1998, at Celebrate Ponte
Vedra, the second year of the annual spring
fund-raiser for the Cultural Center at Ponte
Vedra Beach and the first time the word
"Celebrate" was used for the event.
Featuring five musical acts that began at
1:30 p.m. under a tent in the PGA Tour
parking lot off County Road 210, Celebrate
also included a "Ponte Vedra Pooch" con-
test and arts activities for children. A decade
later, Radiance (above) is scheduled to offer
a tribute to the women who popularized the
Motown music of the 1960s and 1970s at
Friday's event at the PGA Clubhouse at the
TPC at Sawgrass. The event, which grew
out of the decade-earlier fund-raiser, has
been expanded to include three types of
seating for dinner and two kinds of auctions
to raise money for both the Cultural Center
at Ponte Vedra Beach and the Jacksonville
Symphony Orchestra.
contest, "Ponte Vedra Pooch,"
and art activities for children.
Once again, $500 would
buy a table for eight under a
tent, this time featuring din-
ner from Carrabbas, accord-
ing to the Ponte Vedra Leader.
The Cultural Center, an arts
and education organization
begun in 1994; was located in
1,800 square feet of space
leased from Continental
Cable on State Road A1A
when the third annual
Celebrate Ponte Vedra was
held May 15, 1999.
The Center board, search-
ing for a per-
manent, more spacious site,
had plans to build on a parcel
at A1A and Corona Road but
dropped the idea in the face
of community opposition.
The organization eventual-
ly purchased and renovated
the 6,570-square-foot former
postal annex building on
Executive Way, where it
resides today,, offering
exhibits, programs and classes
for adults and children.
The Center's annual fund-
raiser changed little after
1998. Most years, a singing
group or groups featuring
early rock or Motown per-
formed under a tent at the
PGA Tour parking lot or the
Sawgrass Village parking lot,
with patron seating offered at
about $85 and grounds seat-
ing for listeners at $5 or $10.
The 2001 event moved to
World Golf Village for an
evening performance by Jack
Jones and the Jacksonville
Symphony, a Mother's Day
brunch and, back at the
Center, the fourth annual
Ponte Vedra Pooch contest.
The year 2006 marked a
change, with music, food,
drinks and tarot card readings
held. at the Center for
"Celebrate Carnival" on May
The PGA Tour first became
involved in the fund-raiser
last year, after being
approached by Cultural
Center representatives who
wanted to use the new club-
house, McLenaghan said.
The June 9 event was billed
as "The PGA Tour presents A
Magical Mystery Tour," with
the Beatles tribute band
Revolution performing after
Cocktails and dinner at the
newly opened clubhouse.
Tickets were $150 each for
indoor dinner and outdoor
concert, $30 each for concert
"Last year's Celebrate event
was one of the most success-
ful events the Cultural Center
has ever had, and we credit
the. PGA Tour leadership and
staff with its success," said
Sandy Wilson, marketing
director for the Cultural
The event raised about
$70,000 for the Cultural
Center, McLenaghan said,
adding that this year's "lofty
goal . . . is to try and make
that much for each of the
organizations," that is, the
Center and the Symphohy.
Having silent and live auc-
tions for the first time will
help with that goal, she said.
"I have been told by the
Cultural Center . . . people
that this is their main fund-
raising effort for the year,"
McLenaghan said.
She said it will also be a
boon for the Symphony,
which is "at a point where
they're going to have to find
some new sources of rev-

their daughters Viola, 4, and Lydia, 1.
By "family friendly," Barquilla said
she does not mean chicken nuggets and

receptive to different foods and they
almost always enjoy helping with any
type of food preparation.
Barquilla looks for interesting recipes
that include several food groups and
offer high nutritional value. Since she is

Barquilla said.
Pasta with Sausage, Fennel, and
Tomatoes is a versatile dish that is good

series of points shown on a map, choosing routes, both on and off established trails, which will
allow the participant to find all the points and get back to the finish in the shortest amount of time.
Times are a'changin
To increase efficiency, the
St. Johns County School
District is changing the mid-
dle school schedule for next
school year to maximize stu-
dent contact time in core
and elective classes.
The middle school day is
being shortened by 20 min-
utes but instructional time
will remain the same. The
new schedule closely resem-
bles a high school schedule,
with six periods and a 30-
minute lunch. The only
thing being eliminated is the
extended homeroom period.
The change also requires a
shift, in school starting and
ending times.
Middle schools will start at
7:50 a.m. and dismiss at 2
p.m. Elementary schools will
start at 8:30 a.m. and dismiss
at 2:50 p.m. High schools
will start at 9:15 a.m. and
dismiss at 3:45 p.m.
If the elementary and high
school schedules remained
the same, middle schools
would have an additional
wait period for buses. There
also would be no staff avail-
able for adequate supervision
since teachers are teaching
all six periods.
All schools will observe
early release on Wednesdays
for the purpose of staff devel-
opment, teacher planning
and parent conferences. An
advantage of having the
same early release day for all
grade levels is that it pro-
vides a consistent weekly
schedule for families.
There may be minor fluctu-
ations in these schedules,
and actual bell schedules will
be communicated by each
school. School begins on
Friday, Aug. 22.

McLarty makes history in BFAST opener
This year's Beaches Fine Arts
Series of sprint triathlons
kicked off with an unusual
and historical twist last
Saturday: Sara McLarty topped
everyone in the field - men
included - to earn her first
victory of the season.
McLarty, 25, blitzed through
the three-event course in 51
minutes and 13 seconds, fin-
ishing more than a minute
ahead of men's co-winners
Steve Pettit and James
Sweeney. Because the top-
ranked men start first, both

two competi- SE F
tors, Justin
Jacobs in the final race of
2006 and Will Pearce twice
last year, have clocked faster
times than McLarty.
It was not, however, the first
time McLarty has tasted suc-
cess in the series. As a 19-year-
old in 2002, she won the first
and third races of the summer,
missing out on the overall
women's championship
because she did not compete
in all three of the season's
On Saturday, the Deland
native was the first woman
out of the water, completing
the quarter-mile ocean swim
in 4:24. After hustling through
the first transition area in
1:43, McLarty remained in the
lead by clocking 25:50 in the
10.5-mile bicycle race.
Changing from bike gear to
running shoes in just 38 sec-
onds, McLarty celebrated her
victory by doing the Florida
Gators chomp with her arms
as she crossed the finish line
18 minutes and 40 seconds
after embarking on the 3.1-
mile run.
As an illustration of just
how quickly McLarty complet-

The 47-year-old Pettit com-
pleted the swim in 5:27, 20
seconds ahead of Sweeney.
While Sweeney, 39, made up
the difference on the bike,
besting Pettit by a minute and

things by clocking 19:36 in
the run to Sweeney's 19:44.

And despite opening next
school year with an estimated
900 fewer students, the 2007
Class 4A state runner-up
Panthers are not giving up on
a fifth consecutive state play-
off run.
"The goal doesn't change,"
Cowgill said before Saturday's
final spring scrimmage at
Panther Stadium.
"High expectations are what
you want. You don't want to
be at a place where they are
happy if you go 5-5."
After three weeks of practice,
Nease will cap spring drills on
Thursday with an exhibition
game with Fleming Island.

be linebacker James McVeigh
(5-10, 210).
Run defense is an obvious
team strength with the likes of
Gallagher (6-4, 252) and Souza
(6-4, 285) anchoring the
defensive line.
Last season, Gallagher, a first
team all-state rush end who
has committed to Wake Forest
University, booked 104 tackles
and a team-high 14.5 sacks.
Souza, another Demon
Deacon recruit, had 101 stops
as a junior, including 24 for
"Nobody is going to run on
John and Frank," said Cowgill,
a former Nease linebacker and
the Panthers' defensive coordi-
nator the past five seasons.
"We wil always have big
strong guys. We tell our kids,
we win games from January to
August [in the weight room]."
Souza tied for eighth place
among heavyweights at April's
state weightlifting tournament
with a 335-pound bench press
and 350-pound clean and jerk.
Junior defensive lineman
Dylan March (6-4, 228)
benched 330 in 238-pound
weight class.
Cowgill said March and ris-
ing senior Thad Foster (6-1,
215) haye been impressive this
spring on defense. He also sig-
naled out Weir (5-10, 170),
who backed up all-state QB
Ted Stachitas last season.
Weir threw mostly high-per-
centage passes during
Saturday's two-hour scrim-
mage, operating out of the
shotgun in mostly three-
receiver formations.
Barker, who caught 30 passes
for 548 yards last year, is
Nease's top returning receiver,
followed by Leighty, who
hauled in 15 passes for 157
yards in five postseason games,
including a team-high seven

the playoffs, mostly on wide
receiver sweeps, but its Leighty

A midfielder on Nease's state

"We changed
some things up,
as far as some

adding that

defensive coach Matt Toblin,
defensive coach Gordie

Geoff Stephens.
Also returning are off-cam-
pus coaches Wesley Haynes,
Frankie Franklin, Steve Walters
and Jason LaBarbera.
"Having five coaches on
campus is huge," said Cowgill,
who lost only special teams
coach Bill Bates to neighboring
Ponte Vedra High.
"And with the school split,
it's good to have that kind of
staff continuity."
Nease listed 100 players on
its freshmen team last season,
and 60 on its junior varsity. A
number of those kids will suit
up for the PV High Sharks next
season, a move that will
impact Nease's depth in the
years to come.

excitement last Thursday
as veteran pier angler Dick
Brislin fought and landed the
season's first king. The "big
boy" hit a big ladyfish and
didn't slow. down until he
took 100 yards of Dick's line.
This is the second time Dick
has caught the season's first
king. In 1986 he caught a 13-
pounder to initiate the king-
fish season from the pier. That
40-pounder this year took 30
minutes to land.
Other anglers on the pier
last week weighed up trout,
drum, pompano and whiting
during the week. Rich Perez
caught two six-pound black
drum and Spencer Brogdan

Bedtime USA can help you
get the rest you deserve
Today's hectic schedules keep us on the
go, and getting the uninterrupted sleep
researchers say we need can be a challenge.
A top-quality mattress can be the first step
to quality sleep. Dave Fox, factory-trained
and -certified mattress specialist and owner
of Bedtime LISA in Jacksonville Beach, can
help you find a mattress tailored to your
individual preferences so you can get the
rest you need - and deserve.
Family-owned and operated and cele-
brating five years in business in
lacksonville Beach, Bedtime USA is your
mattress headquarters. Dave and his staff
have the expertise and inventory you need
to help you find the right mattress at the
right price.
"We are not a chain, yet we are one of the
only stores in northeast Florida and south-
east Georgia that carries such a complete
line of mattresses and bedding products,"
said Dave, who himself has more than 20
years of experience in the business and has
lived at the Beaches for nine years. "We
have more than 40 mattresses on display,
and we'll help you find the one that's just
right for you - and your budget!"
No matter what type of mattress you're
looking for, Bedtime USA most likely has it.
The list of brand-name products available
is impressive, including mattresses by
Tempur-Pedic, Simmons, Englander,
Restonic, Spring Air, Chattam & Wells, and
futons by Night and Day Furniture and
Anchor Furniture.
Bedtime USA carries all nine models of
the popular Tempur-Pedic brand - includ-
ing the GrandBed and the new Alura Bed.
"Tempur-Pedic is often described as the
"Cadillac" of mattresses because of its
extravagant design and unsurpassed luxu-
ry," Dave said. "No matter what type of
mattress you prefer - a natural latex mat-
tress, a visco-elastic memory foam mat-
Bedtime USA owner Dave Fox says there's only one thing better than sleeping
at the beach - and that's sleeping at the beach on one of the top-of-the-line
mattresses, adjustable beds and futons available at Bedtime USA in
Jacksonville Beach.

tress, a traditional innerspring mattress or
any combination of these, we carry it," he added.
The importance of a good night's sleep becomes apparent
when Dave reminds customers that they'll spend one third
of their lives in bed. "So at Bedtime USA customer comfort
is our no. 1 priority - comfort in a mattress and comfort in
its price," Dave said.
"Because we have so many mattresses in our inventory, we
can offer our customers the most comfortable mattress avail-
able in the most comfortable price range for them," he
added. "For example, we have twin sets for as low as $199.95
and queen sets for as low as $299.95."
Bedtime USA also sells Tempur-Pedic mattresses at the
lowest price the manufacturer allows, which means queen
Tempur-Pedic mattresses start as low as $1.199.
But Bedtime USA has more than the mattress of your
dreams (pun intended). "We also carry a wide selection of
adjustable beds plus bed frames, platform-type beds, head-
boards, futons, futon covers, pillows, bolsters, bed pads,
mattress protectors and even some beachy' decorative
items," Dave said.
Expecting overnight guests this summer? Bedtime USA
can help. "WVe carry Night and Day Furniture, which manu-
factures some of the best futons available," Dave said. "They
offer 40 different designs of futons, and we showcase 10
models in our store, not to mention more than 300 fabric
samples from SIS Fabrics, a leader in designer furniture
upholster)." Plus, Bedtime LISA adds a futon mattress cover

USA we take care of our customers, work with them one on
one and help them make sound purchasing decisions."
Bedtime USA also offers free delivery throughout the

but we also give them a call when the delivery truck leaves
the store," Dave said.
