celebrating on the centre
By lauren Jones
Editor
There are not a lot of things you can
get for free these days. Concerts are cer-
tainly not one of them.
But Sounds on Centre is one of those
exceptions. On the first Friday of every
month from March until October,
a different band will play on Centre
Street in downtown Fernandina for the
free event.
The event is put on by the Histor-
ic Fernandina Business Association
(HFBA). Its sole purpose is to promote
the downtown area and its businesses
as well as draw people downtown who
would otherwise not go there, President
of the HFBA, Max Wohlfarth said.
Businesses in the downtown area
benefit from the free event as well. It
brings a huge crowd of people down-
town and as Wohlfarth says, it is basi-
cally eight months of advertising. It is
a great opportunity for businesses to
promote themselves.
Some local business owners said they
benefited from the event but they ex-
pect even more business when it is not
so cold next month.
“There was definitely an influx of
people walking around. It probably
helped. It certainly didn’t hurt,” Steve
La Torre, owner of La Torre’s Gallery
and Gift Shop said.

SHERIFF MAKES IT EASIER
TO GIVE MONEY TO YOUR
HONEY BEHIND BARS
The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office is updating the way
inmates at the detention center receive money for their ac-
count. Funds can now be deposited into the new commis-
sary kiosk, a machine similar to an ATM.
Family members and friends no longer have to stand in a
long line to deposit money into an inmate’s account. Instead
of cashier’s checks or money orders, they can bring cash or
a credit or debit card and instantly deposit money into an
account.
With the new kiosk system, family members can also de-
posit money into an inmate’s account online at inmatede-
posits.com or by phone (866-345-1884).
The Nassau County Detention Center also has another
kiosk that allows inmates to receive a debit card with the
amount left in their account when they are released from
jail. Previously, a check was mailed to them about a week
later.
The kiosks will save time and help the facility become
more eco-friendly. There are currently more than 170 in-
mates housed in the detention center. Family members can now deposit money into inmate’s accounts online.

of sin. But this does not mean sin is now a
non-issue we can ignore. The cross itself is a
constant reminder of the seriousness of sin
and of how humans still offend God today.
It still communicates the two basic princi-
ples of God’s holiness and our sin and need
for cleansing. Upon the cross, God the Fa-

on his beloved Son who was our substitute.

A Year After Market Low, How Should You Invest?

It’s been about a year since stock prices hit their
low point during the long bear market. Since then,
of course, we’ve seen a big rally, but some of the deci-
sions you made when the market was at its lowest
point may still be affecting your portfolio’s perform-
ance and prospects. So now that we’ve reached the
one-year anniversary of the market bottom, it’s a
good time to see where you are today and how you
can prepare for tomorrow.

(CDs). And a lot of those CDs had one-year maturi-
ties, which means they’re now coming up for renewal.
When you bought your CDs a year ago, you prob-
ably did so for their ability to preserve your principal,
but in the process, you made some trade-offs. First,
you accepted a relatively meager income stream, be-
cause short-term interest rates, like those paid on
your CDs, were low. And second, you relinquished
the growth potential you might have gotten from
other investments, such as stocks. So now that we’re a
year removed from the bottom of a bear market, can
you use the money from your maturing CDs to help
you make progress toward your financial goals?
Actually, now that you may have these maturing
CDs coming due, it’s a very good time to review your
overall investment strategy, possibly with the help of
a professional financial advisor. Take a close look at
your portfolio. Is it well suited for your individual risk
tolerance, time horizon and long-term objectives, or
do you need to make some changes? Is it too aggres-
sive for your needs, or too conservative? Is it prop-
erly diversified among investments suitable for your
particular situation. ? While diversification, by itself,
cannot guarantee profits or protect against loss, it can
help reduce the effects of volatility and give you more
chances for success. Keep in mind that while CDs are
FDIC insured, other investments carry certain risks
that you should understand before investing.
Of course, if you have investments held in a bro-
kerage account, it’s likely not your only portfolio
— you may well be investing through your 401(k)
or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. If so,
keep in mind that you probably don’t want your in-
vestments to duplicate those inside your 401(k) ac-
count. Instead, look at your entire investment picture
“holistically” and seek to diversify through all your
accounts.
Once you’ve reviewed your portfolio and identified
any possible gaps, you can then consider where the
money from your maturing CDs can be used most
effectively.
You probably won’t see any festivities marking the
one-year anniversary of the market low. But you can
celebrate in your own way — by embracing available
investment opportunities.

When it comes to the flu, car lot attributes quality

we’re not out of the woods
Swine flu may seem like last year’s news.
But health officials are urging those who
have not been vaccinated against the virus —
or the regular seasonal flu — to do so.
“It’s not too late for people to get their flu
shot because flu season typically peaks at this
time year,” said Nassau County, Fla., Health
Department spokesman Wade Sparkman.
“We have seen a substantial decline in cases
of H1N1, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of
the woods yet.”
One Nassau County resident died last No-
vember due to the H1N1 virus. Widespread
influenza activity, the highest level of infec-
tion, was not reported by any counties early
this month. Thirty counties reported no ac-
tivity, with the rest reporting only sporadic
activity.
While swine flu (H1N1) is on the de-
cline, the predominant strain of circulating
influenza virus remains H1N1. But doctors
and other health professionals expect that
to change in the coming weeks. “H1N1 is
still out there, and is probably going to stick
around for a while,” said Dr. E. Ngo-Seidel,
Director of the Nassau County Health De-
partment. “But people need to remember
there’s another flu virus out there — the
regular seasonal flu generally peaks in the
second or third week of February, and that
strain kills 36,000 adults a year.
Ngo-Seidel encourages residents to get
protected against both the seasonal flu and
H1N1, especially those with medical con-
ditions who are at higher risk of flu-related
complications. She said residents should be
able to avoid the frustration some experi-
enced over limited H1N1 vaccine supplies
when swine flu peaked last fall. Some clinics
to it’s thriving business
have even dropped their prices slightly due
to the apparent glut of vaccine doses.
“There’s plenty of vaccine to go around,”
said Sparkman. “People should also remem-
ber that anyone can get vaccinated. We are
no longer asking priority groups or those at
greatest risk of complications from the flu to
get vaccinated first, which was the message
the CDC was putting out when supplies
were limited.”
While health officials are no longer hold-
ing free mass vaccination events at schools,
malls and other locations, some county
health departments, such as Nassau, are ex-
tending their hours. The health department
is actively contacting nursing homes, schools
and other locations where there are vulner-
able populations to vaccinate. Residents
should check with the county health depart- Lilliston Ford Staff lauren Jones/The Nassau News

the low def. channels.
PLASMA PROS – More natural coloriza-
tion or lifelike picture. Has been becoming less
expensive than other formats. No burn in issue
anymore and much more energy conscious than
before.
PLASMA CONS – Heavy, subject to glare (it
is a glass screen), Emits a good amount of heat,
sizes tend to start at 42 inches. That might be
a little big for the bathroom. (What? You don’t
have a TV in your bathroom? Call me!)
LED PROS – The WOW factor. Very thin,
approx. 1 ¾” thick, low heat emissions, energy
efficient, beautiful lifelike picture, not very heavy.
LED CONS - Cost (about double the same
sized LCD), can sometimes be too close to the
wall for some wiring situations, glare due to glass
screen, limited choices in brands (not everyone is
on board yet.)
3-D PROS – Blows away LED’s WOW factor.
good fiscal health is cutting the size of government
Dear Chairman Boyle and
Commissioners:
While you have heard a pres-
entation recently on possible
options for navigating the up-
coming budget season, I have
heard no mention of actually
reducing the size of government
itself. Merely delaying capital
expenditures until the economy
is again healthy may temporar-
ily reduce current expenditures,
but that is not an actual reduc-
tion in the size of government.
Further, using up reserves to
avoid a reduction in the ongo-
ing “operational and personnel
costs” of government only raises
the certainty of a severe tax in-
crease in the near future while
reducing the county’s ability to
counter any possible unforeseen
catastrophes.
The key to good fiscal health
is doing that which is hardest for
politicians, namely, actually cut-
ting the size of government. Tax-
payers demand it, candidates for
political office espouse it in their
campaigns, but it never seems to
be accomplished. You have to
look no further than Tallahas-
see or Washington to see how
not to run government. Bor-
rowing against the taxpayers tab
or just printing new money will
never solve the real problem. It
can only be solved by cutting
the government itself. I would
recommend that you consider
the following starting points for
reducing the cost of government
to Nassau County taxpayers:
Freeze capital projects indefi-
nitely. Any project that is not
absolutely mandated by state or
federal law should be removed
from the Capital Improvement
Plan immediately.
Address the overly-generous
automatic step raises, seniority
pay, sick leave payouts at retire-
ment, post-retirement benefit
package, expensive health in-
surance, bonus days and other
perks that those who are paying
our salaries are going without in
the private sector. All benefits,
both union and non-union,
should be re-addressed imme-
diately regardless of current
agreements. To not do so only
raises the probability of a future
forced reduction in costs via em-
ployee reductions.
Appoint a commissioner and
each of the other five Constitu-
tional Officers to bring recom-
mendations back to the Board
that will moderate the rather
rich and disparate employee
benefit packages from one office
to another.
Please let me know how I
may assist you in this endeavor.
The burden of weathering this
present fiscal crisis is rightfully
on the shoulders of all of us who
have been entrusted by the tax-
payers. Let’s together do that
which is hardest. Let’s cut gov-
ernment now.
Sincerely,
John A. Crawford

3-D CONS – Oh boy, cost, cost and cost.
Granted, 3-D will find its correct cost range
soon but as of now, it is the number one issue.
Upgrade Fatigue… buying the same movie you
already own but now in another format. Lack
of 3-D content. Not only the expense of the set
but heavy, expensive glasses that must be worn
by each viewer. Some people have a vision issue
known as monocular vision. These folks cannot
even see in 3-D and often get headaches after
watching a 3-D movie. (Sorry Alice in Wonder-
land, which is a great movie.) Give 3-D a few
years to find its niche within the electronic com-
munity.
Well, there you have it: some opinions based
on fact. I’ve always said that a good site survey
will help determine what television is right for
you, your lifestyle and the room.
Maybe Star Wars wasn’t too far off when R2-
D2 played the holographic laser transmission of
Princess Leia on a table for 360 degrees of view-
ing. It’s only a matter of time I am sure!

"My son is 9. He was on the edge of failure and about to
give up on himself. Now he turns in assignments early
and said just this morning, 'I'm PROUD of myself!' He
often credits Sylvan and so do I. I have already
recommended you to a friend." Vicki K., Sylvan Parent
