Chef, owner and manager of Doo Wop Diner in Fernandina, Lisa Deringer loves cooking, the 50s era and seeing people hap-py. Those things are what drove her to open up her own diner. After owning 13 Subway franchises in 14 years, she was ready to have her own restaurant.

“With this, I’m making my own decisions and not working for a corporation and having to do what they say,” Deringer said.

On any given day, one can walk in the diner and see an Elvis movie or “I love Lucy” playing in black and white on the TV screens. She loves James Dean and named one of their hot dogs after him, which is topped with chili, jalapenos, bacon, onions and melted cheddar cheese and is served with fries and cole slaw.

She has plenty of regular customers. One man comes in and sits at the bar for breakfast every day.

“He doesn’t miss a day,” Deringer said. Lauren Jones/The Nassau News

Taking Fernandina Beach back to the 50s


Amelia Community Theatre (ACT) is celebrating the com-pletion of their new theatre with the opening of Pirates of Pen-zance. The theatre still stands next to the old one, which is still used for storage and extra dress-ing rooms.

Director Toni D’Amico has been with the theatre for four years and says this play is a great choice to show off the theatre. There is a ship and hand made props on stage.

“What could be more com-munity-friendly for Fernandina Beach than a pirates’ play?” D’Amico said.

“With a thought, a plan and a dream, this all finally came to-gether,” Mary Williams said.

D’Amico says the new stage

allows for more room on stage and more opportunities for dif-ferent sets. The new theatre holds 144 guests. The old one only had room for 88. Producer Linda McClane says every seat is a good spot.

“The entire first weekend is already sold out,” McClane said.

Pirates of Penzance follows the story of a man conflicted with all the duties he has to perform in his life. Frederic was to be an ap-prentice to be a a pilot but his nurse heard pirates and he be-came a pirate himself. He was to be released on his twenty-first birthday, but found out he was born on a leap year and when he wanted out, he was only five. He waned out even more because he fell in love with a woman. It is a family-friendly play and the ac-tors at ACT are thrilled to be a part of it.

Williams plays Ruth in the play and was on the original Board of Directors for the thea-tre, since 1981. Her husband is also her husband in character in the play. Bob Williams plays Major General.

“We got a ship and the first song is a drinking song,” D’Amico laughed.

Williams has been involved in at least 20 shows with ACT. Knowing she could sing in high school, Williams simply decided to audition ACT’s first play and has been involved ever since then.

“I love the art of drama and how it involves different skill sets and it takes a whole team to put on a play,” she said.

She says The Pirates of Pen-zance is an operetta with a lot of comical, over-the-top characters and engaging characters. The au-

dience will find it familiar as well, she says. There is also a band that plays in the background, instead of a recorded set of music. Susan Raab plays the donated piano. She pokes her head out from behind the curtain during prac-tice and points the piano with a thumbs up. She is there for every practice.

The cast is made up of high school seniors to senior citizens and is what makes the theatre unique.

“You won’t find that kind of team anywhere else,” D’Amico said.

Williams says the plays and people have changed over the years, but the real sense of com-munity has never changed.

“Every play brings a new group of people and volunteers. It is a unique asset to the com-munity,” Williams said.

Pedro Juan Ocacia Alcazar, 38 of Jack-sonville was arrested on Friday, April 2 and charged with six counts of vehicular homicide. He is held with a $300,000 bond.

Alcazar was traveling south on the inside lane on

U.S. 1 in Callahan in a 1995 Chev-rolet. He was driving behind a 2010 Nissan occupied by a family of six, according the Florida Highway Pa-trol report. A truck with a flat-bed trailer was traveling north on U.S. 1. Alcazar’s car passed the Nissan on the right. He lost control while he was in front of the Nissan. It struck the left side of Alcazar’s Camaro. Both cars swerved across the median and into the northbound lanes in front of the truck. The truck driver attempted to avoid the two cars by swerving left of the median. The Nissan swerved onto the median and the truck rolled on top of the the Nissan. Both vehicles were overturned. Alcazar’s Camaro stopped on the east shoulder of the road facing south.

The driver of the Nissan, Melissa Mitchell, 39 of Lawrenceville, GA, the passenger, Brenda Mitchell Ed-wards, 58 of Jacksonville, Mitchell’s three children and Edward’s grand-child all died in result of the crash.

Alcazar has a previous record of traffic violations. Alcazar suffered minor injuries. He was speeding and the accident happened around 5 p.m. The passenger of the truck went to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

April 8, 2010| The Nassau News 3

At our church on Easter Sunday, we car-ried in a single white candle. This candle, first lit at Christmas in celebration of the birth of Christ, now shouted that this sin-gle light has staying power. This light can pierce through the darkest hour. This light can overcome destruction. This light rolls stones away from the darkest tombs.

When pain occurs, it can’t stop the rain from falling. Can’t stop the petals of the daisies from bursting open. Can’t stop the sun from peering from behind the clouds. Can’t stop children from laughing. Can’t stop the song birds from sing-ing. Everywhere you go, you can see light that shines in the dark-ness, life that blossoms and hope that surges.

Our mind always rushes to cre-ate answers in the midst of seem-ingly confusing and unanswerable questions and life events. Without a doubt, Mary and others were in the throes of grief as the founda-tional stories of the Christian faith unfolded. The disciples could have sunk in despair at the loss of their friend and leader, but they arose themselves in answer to what must have been their question, “What now?” The disciples real-ized there was something about the teach-ings of Christ that they must not let die. I think that’s what resurrection calls us to – they woke up; they were aroused to grab life and not sink into complacency. They sought to bring life and zeal, new life and re-creation, to their lives and the lives of others. In that same way, the season of Easter invites us to come to our faith in ex-pectation of something, to come in antici-pation of life and transformation.

We are stymied by plenty of dark tombs

– deadlocks on healthcare reform, news of warfare almost every day, six killed in a car crash because one sped selfishly, and the lingering effects of the recession.

The strength and mystery of the spirit of God endows us with the stamina to move through darkness. God instills in us the courage to peek into the depths of our soul so that we might learn and pray and replen-ish ourselves. God calls us into compas-sionate community so that we never have to go it alone, inspires us in anticipation of

what new life awaits us, and calls us forth to make our newness of life contagious.

Resurrection is about life which won’t be contained, won’t be held back, which bursts forth because that is its way. There was something absolutely contagious about the way the disciples an-swered, “What now?” For here we are, centuries later, still talk-ing about those same familiar stories.

The movement of the breath of the Spirit forever calls us to open

our hearts to what is holy, to explore the well of the sacred within us. Our question also is, “What now?” A cup of cold water, a bag of groceries, a plate of food, a basket of money, an outstretched hand – whatever form it takes – the well of life within us is not meant to be contained but poured out for many. You are called to a contagious new life!

Our economy has been on a decline for the past year or so. Many of our clients have lost their jobs, been laid off or had their hours cut back. This affects all businesses, as well as our own. To save money, some of our clients have had to cut down on care for their pets, or to go to low cost clinics run by nonprofit (non-tax paying) organizations. To do so, they pay more for gas and spend a great deal of time travelling back and forth to these distant clinics. In order to help our clients, their pets and ourselves, we are going head-to-head against these nonprofits. We will do our best to match any of their prices for surgery, services and products. Call us with your prices from these clinics and we will do our best to match them. Keep it local! Save gas! Save time! Thanks. Walter Swanson, D.V.M.

As an investor, you might think it’s easy to evalu-ate your investments’ performance. After all, the big-ger the gain, the better, right? This statement is true enough, but as an investment strategy, it’s incomplete — and, if followed rigidly, it could lead you to make some mistakes that could hinder your progress toward your financial goals.

What are some of these potential mistakes? Here are a few to consider:

• Evaluating performance over a short period of time — If you measure an investment’s performance over a relatively short period of time, you may be more tempted to invest emotionally — that is, you’ll buy more shares of an investment when you “feel good” about it because its price has risen, and you’ll sell more shares when you “feel bad” because the in-vestment’s price has fallen. This behavior is the oppo-site of the classic piece of investment advice: “Buy low and sell high.” Try not to make investment decisions based on short-term performance. Instead, look at an investment’s long-term track record. While it’s true, as you have no doubt heard, that “past performance

can’t guarantee future results,” it’s nonetheless useful to see how an investment has fared in different market environments.

• Neglecting the impact of contributions and with-drawals — If you put more money into an invest-ment, it will be worth more — until the price drops — and if you take money out of an investment, it will be worth less — until the price rises. Yet many people mistakenly attribute their investments’ performance to these inflows and outflows.

• Failing to distinguish between “growth” and “in-come” investments — To help achieve your long-term goals, you’ll need a mix of growth-oriented invest-ments, such as stocks, and income-producing vehi-cles, such as bonds. However, bonds will typically not add much growth to your overall portfolio, so keep this in mind when you look at the year-to-year change in value on your investment statements.

• Maintaining unrealistic expectations — In 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 19%, while the S&P 500 jumped more than 23%. But if you anticipate such unusually high returns annually,

and you base your investment strategy on them, you’ll likely be disappointed and have trouble meeting your goals. For a variety of reasons, most investment ex-perts foresee relatively modest returns in the financial markets over the next few years, so you’ll want to plan accordingly.

• Comparing investments to benchmarks — Try not to compare the performance of your investments to benchmarks such as the Dow Jones Industrial Av-erage or the S&P 500. If you’ve chosen an aggressive investment mix, your returns may show wide swings, beating the benchmarks substantially in some years while trailing them significantly in others. On the other hand, if you’re a conservative investor, your re-turns may consistently lag the major benchmarks, but you’ll probably experience less volatility.

Once you know what to expect from your invest-ments, you’ll be less likely to be disappointed at your returns — and you’ll be better prepared to create and follow an investment strategy that works for you.

Correctly evaluating investments’ performance

Internet television al-lows its users to choose the program or the TV show they want to watch from an archive of programs or from a channel direc-tory. The two ways to view Internet television are streaming the content di-rectly to a media player or simply downloading the program to the user’s com-puter. One such popular site for streaming television and movies is Hulu (found at www.hulu.com) Pick from hundreds of episodes.

“Well that’s great Bill but what’s the advan-tage to me, an average viewing consumer per-son?” you ask. With more people utilizing the

internet, their personal computers and smart phones, downloading your popular program or TV show has gotten that much easier. Many of us have DVRs for recording shows and viewing at a later time which is nice but with internet television, you can choose at any time to watch practically any program or episode you wish. Internet TV is available in very high resolution, usually 720p.

Now, the really cool thing: More and more televisions are capable of acquiring the inter-net content you seek with just a few touches

of the remote. These TV’s are able to select movies from such services as Netflix or play On Demand music from Pandora (Netf-lix.com/Pandora.com). As long as there is

wireless internet service in your home, these televisions will seek out the service and pro-vide access to some of these streaming audio and video companies. If you thought waiting a couple of days for your Netflix movie to ar-rive was cool how about just a couple of min-utes via your TV?

Some people see this as a further increase in how lazy we have become but as a techie kind of guy, I see it as such an awesome advance-ment and I can’t wait to see what’s next. The convenience of these new advances saves us not only time but also money. I’m not jump-ing in the car running to a video rental store or kiosk. Instead, I download content for us to enjoy and viola, more family time!

The only drawbacks with these new advanc-es in technology are for many of us who just bought a television, say a couple of years ago that does not have these features. The changes

happen so fast and often we would have to buy new electronics about every six months to keep up. If you have any questions on how to access some of these neat online features, feel free to drop me an e-mail or call. I will be more than happy to see what we can do with your existing equipment.

If you have wireless internet in your home, go ahead, log into one of the services I men-tioned and see how easy it is to watch an episode of your favorite show in a matter of second,s with limited commercial interrup-tion, I might add.

Next time on Tech Talk….”What to do with my old television?” Cheers!

She says people come from Folkston to order her potato cheddar soup. They always call ahead to make sure she has it and if she doesn’t, she’ll make it.

Many customers tell her she has the best burgers on the island. All the food is made to order, so one should be patient. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is avail-

able all day and they serve beer and wine. They cater for businesses as well. Deringer says she loves making milkshakes for her son’s baseball team and giving food to the homeless.

I have spent the last few weeks in the woods chasing an elusive gobbler with little success. A friend of mine told me his son killed a nice bird this past week-end so I told him to send me a picture and a small report. What I got was what you are about to hopefully read. As I read, it gave me some hope for our younger generation. Spending time out-doors is highly self-gratifying sometimes, but it is also a great time to spend with family and friends. If you fish, grab a small Zebco set-up for your kid. If you hunt, invite a friend. Just spending qual-ity time with someone outside beats munching on chips in front of the old boob tube any day of the week. Caleb Causey wrote the following play-by-play analysis of his hunt with his grandfather and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Until next week, good luck and be safe out there.

When the alarm sounded off at 5 a.m. on this past, foggy Saturday morning, I immediately hit snooze, thanks to the 4 hours of sleep I had. Then I thought of the thunder chick-ens out in the club that gave me the slip the past two weekends in a row and the adrenaline rush that came with them. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my 12-gauge and headed to the woods with my Papa.

At about 7 a.m. it was just becom-ing daylight. I hit the hoot owl call and off to my left, about 200 yards, I heard three different gobbles in the same spot. Immediately, my Papa and I ran to the creek and crossed it. We then walked about 500 more yards to circle them and hit the call again, thinking we were in the right spot.

To our surprise and the way luck

would have it, when they gobbled they were exactly where we started from. We kicked it into high gear and started tracking through the pine rows. As we crossed a strand, I saw three big gobblers in full strut facing away from me. On instinct, my Papa and I hit the forest floor. I grabbed my hen decoy, held it up and clucked two times. All I heard was the thunder as the turkeys sounded off repeatedly

one after another.So without hesitation,

I set the hen down and crawled for cover behind a cluster of palmettos, know-ing on that morning I had their attention and they were coming. I sat, called off and on with a few and knew what that was.

My nervousness really set in when they were about sixty yards away. At forty-five yards, I couldn’t stand

it anymore. The dominant bird took two more steps. With my heart beat-ing faster than ever and my limbs trembling, I took my Remington off safety, took aim and fired a barrage of lead his way.

I saw him drop and start flapping so I sprinted over and tried grabbing him trying to avoid his spurs, which were kicking in my direction. Then fi-nally, as I saw his chest deflate with his last breath of air, I grinned knowing he was all mine. After that was all was said and done I came to find out he was a very mature bird at 18 pounds and had a 9-inch beard with 1 1/8th inch spurs.

I would like to thank my Papa for putting me on him and sharing the experience with me. I wouldn’t trade you for the world.

Some people might think weight management clinics are a joke. They only give out drugs and send you on your way.

But the staff at Medical Weight Management Clinic (MWMC) in Fernandina works with patients individ-ually and keeps relationships after treatment on the jour-ney to becoming healthier.

Christopher Mahoney, PA in General Medicine and Anethesia and MS in Nutri-tion/Diatetics says the best thing about his job is seeing people take control of their lives.

“It’s so unfortunate to see a lot of the society become so unhealthy,” he said. “I like seeing [patients] make healthy choices on their own. That’s really beneficial.”

MWMC focuses on do-ing a complete evaluation for each patient and giving them a plan to stick to, as well as constant support throughout the process.

“There’s nothing I can’t correct. We have to spend time together and I will call a patient if I haven’t heard from them in a while,” Ma-honey said.

He says a lot of diabetes and hypertension is caused by people eating out and just not thinking about what they eat. He says he has patients who were diabetic and pre-diabetic and are now cleared of it.

He has one patient who came in almost two years ago. She was depressed and wasn’t accomplishing what

she wanted in life. She now has lost 106 pounds and completed nursing school.

“She has maintained her weight loss and she has a completely different person-ality,” Mahoney said.

The clinic is a family busi-ness. Mahoney’s father and sister work with him. He says he loves working in a clinic and working one on one with people.

“When I was in the hos-pital, I was working with people who I was putting to sleep, so I didn’t get to talk to them a whole lot,” Mahoney laughed.

Since the office has been open for the past four years,

there has been a total weight loss of more than 4.5 tons. Mahoney is proud of that be-cause he can think of all the individual accomplishments of people he has helped.

MWMC sells meal re-placement items and Ma-honey says they are an afford-able service. He is looking forward to the benefits of the new health care laws because it will give them a tax incen-tive. They are a preventative service and is what the bill is designed to promote more of.

The clinic is located at 961687 Gateway Blvd., Suite 101-J in Fernandina.

Christopher Mahoney, owner of MWMC, says the best thing about his job is seeing people take control of their lives.

making healthy choicesToday we will delve into the ex-

citing world of facials! More and more clients consider a facial their favorite part of a salon visit. In our busy lives of school, work and community, a facial is like a small “oasis” of peace. A facial can actu-ally boost self-confidence. They are particularly valuable to those whose skin problems may cause anxiety.

The best facial procedure begins with a thorough consultation be-tween you and the

technician. Do you have concerns, or

a particular is-sue? What are

you hoping to achieve. The ma-jority of c l i e n t s w a n t to re-

lax while improving

the appear-ance of their face. About 3 out of 10

proce-

dures include men. After the consultation, the client lies down on a comfortable table and is draped with a sheet. The lights are dimmed, a candle lit and the music begins. It is a very peaceful environment.

All facials involve four basic steps in this order: cleanse, exfoli-ate, tone and moisturize. Cleans-ers are designed for each skin type. They remove dirt and excess oil (sebum). Exfoliation means to remove dead skin cells on the sur-

face of the face. These two steps have now removed the natural Ph level of the skin so, we tone the skin. This restores the healthy Ph (potential hydrogen) levels of the skin. And finally, the technician will Moisturize the face for comfort and to protect their efforts. The moisturizer should include an SPF protectant. An organic product is healthier for your skin.

Did I mention the mid-service massage? Oh yeah... the products are gently massaged on to the face and often includes the neck, shoulders, hands and feet. Very, very nice. A complimentary make-up application is typically done (guys can skip that part). You emerge relaxed, confident and ready to “face” the world.

Now your skin will match a beautiful smile.

STATE OF FLORIDADEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE PERMIT

The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to issue a permit to Weisz Real Estate & Maintenance, Inc., to operate the Goodbread Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF), an existing 0.005 million gallons per day (MGD)annual average daily flow (AADF) permitted capacity extended aeration domestic WWTF consisting of two surge tanks, an aeration basin, a secondary clarifier, a chlorine contact chamber, tablet feeder equipment for dechlorination, and an aerobic digester. Treated effluent is discharged to an on-site pond.The pond intermittently over flows into a ditch that flows into an unnamed tributary of Lofton Creek. Domestic waste water residuals are transported to the JEA Buckman Residual Management Facility for treatment. The facility is located at latitude 30°38’57.26” N, longitude 81°37’3.1” W on Goodbread Road, Yulee, Florida 32034 in Nassau County.

The intent to issue and application file are available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department’s Northeast District Office, 7825 Baymeadows Way, Suite B200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256-7577, at phone number (904)807-3300.

The Department will issue the permit with the attached conditions unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, within fourteen days of receipt of notice. The procedures for petitioning for a hearing are set forth below.

A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative proceed-ing (hearing) under Sections 120.569and120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the Clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.

Under Rule 62-110.106(4), Florida Administrative Code, a person may request an extension of the time for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. The request must be filed (received by the Clerk) in the Office of General Counsel before the end of the time period for filing a petition for an administrative hearing.

Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, must be filed within fourteen days of publication of the notice or within fourteen days of receipt of the written notice, which ever occurs first Section 120.60(3), Florida Statutes, however, also allows that any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication.

The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant a tthe address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person tofile a petition or request for an extension of time within fourteen days of receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, Florida Administrative Code.

A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information, as indicated in Rule 28-106.201, Florida Administrative Code:

(a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known;(b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; thename, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if

any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substan-tial interests will be affected by the determination;

(c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the Department’s decision;(d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate;(e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the

Department’s proposed action;(f ) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the Department’s proposed action; and(g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action petitioner wishes the Department to take with respect to the

Department’s proposed action.

Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Department’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

In addition to requesting an administrative hearing, any petitioner may elect to pursue mediation. The election may be accomplished by filing with the Department a mediation agreement with all parties to the proceeding (i.e., the applicant, the Department, and any person who has filed a timely and sufficient petition for a hearing). The agreement must contain all the information required by Rule 28-106.404, Florida Administrative Code. The agreement must be received by the Clerk in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, within ten days after the deadline for filing a petition, as set forth above. Choosing mediation will not adversely affect the right to a hearing if mediation does not result in a settlement.

As provided in Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, the timely agreement of all parties to mediate will toll the time limitations imposed by Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, for holding an administrative hearing and issuing a final order. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the mediation must be concluded within sixty days of the execution of the agreement. If mediation results in settlement of the administrative dispute, the Department must enter a final order incorporating the agreement of the parties. Persons seeking to protect their substantial interests that would be affected by such a modified final decision must file their petitions within fourteen days of receipt of this notice, or they shall be deemed to have waived their right to a proceeding under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. If mediation terminates without settlement of the dispute, the Department shall notify all parties in writing that the administrative hearing processes under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes, remain available for disposition of the dispute, and the notice will specify the deadlines that then will apply for challenging the agency action and electing remedies under those two statutes.
