(Continued on page 13) The St. Augustine Alligator Farm is happy to announce the hatching of Mugger Crocodiles here at the park. The parents of these animals are the only pair of Mugger Crocodiles that currently reside within any AZA facility in the United States. The Alligator Farm has not produced any Mugger Crocodiles since a single hatching in 1996, so we are very happy about our new arrivals. Mugger Crocodiles are native to India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Iran, and Pakistan. In some parts of their range this species is threatened or even feared to be extinct. The strongest population are in India and Sri Lanka. Captive breeding in India has been very successful but there has been very little successful breeding outside of India. Unlike the American Alligator, which builds mounds, the Mugger Crocodile digs a hole to deposit their eggs in. This is considered a medium to large sized crocodile reaching lengths up to 13 feet. We currently have 2 babies that have hatched and another 5 eggs in the incubator. The remaining 5 eggs were incubated at a lower temperature so we are not expecting them to hatch for another week or two. A crocodilians sex is determined by the temperature that they are incubated. The 2 babies that have already hatched should be males since they were incubated at higher temperatures. We are expecting boys and girls from the remaining 5 eggs. We are very excited about our new additions and we hope they will thrive here at the park. New Baby Mugger Crocodiles at Alligator Farm On Saturday, August 24th, the Friends of the St. Augustine Amphitheatre Amphitheatre, from 4:00 PM 10:00 PM.

Givers & Growlers John Quincy Adams The signers intended the declaration of Independence to officiate the separation be tween America and Great Britain. However, they based the Declaration which has served as a foundation to the beginnings of the American nation upon a greater foundational belief that Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declara actions were to hire military chaplains and to purchase 20,000 Bibles to remedy a national shortage. Although America was already a free nation during the presidency of George Wash ington, the first president of the United States, he suggested that only religion could uphold its morality.

St. Augustine Beaches News Journal July 2013 7 St. Augustine Beach City Manager CONNECTIONS II Financial Focus Information Provided By Edward Jones 4108 A1A South www.edwardjones.com Member SIPC MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING Call today to start taking steps Happy Connie Reep Financial Advisor Ben Reep Financial Advisor This week, we celebrate Independence parades. Amidst the hoopla, though, its always enjoy in this country. And as an individual, you may want to use the occasion to think of another type of independence youd like to enjoy In some ways, we are living in a Were still recovering from the bursting of the housing bubble and the lingering effects of the Great Recession. Furthermore, wage stagnation is a real problem. In fact, median income for working-age households those headed by someone under age 65 actually slid 12.4 percent from 2000 to 2011. Taken together, these factors certainly impose challenges on anyone eventually enjoy a comfortable retirement. Still, you need to do everything you independence. For starters, make full use of whatever resources are available to you. If you have a 401(k) or similar retirement plan at work, try to contribute as much as you can possibly afford and every time you get a raise in salary, increase your contributions. At the very least, put in enough to earn your employers matching contribution, if one is offered. Also, within your 401(k) or similar plan, choose an investment mix that offers you the chance to achieve the growth you will need to make progress toward the type of retirement lifestyle youve envisioned. In addition to contributing to your 401(k), you can also take advantage of another retirement account: a traditional or Roth IRA. Like a 401(k), a traditional IRA grows tax deferred, while a Roth IRA can grow tax free, provided you meet certain conditions. Plus, you can fund your IRA with virtually any type of of deposit and Treasury securities. What else can you do to help yourself one thing, dont become dependent on hot about The Next Big Thing in the investment world from so-called experts who often have poor prognostication records. Even more importantly, though, their advice may simply be inappropriate for your needs and risk tolerance. Finally, consider these two suggestions: Maintain adequate liquidity and keep your debt levels as low as possible. By having enough cash reserves to cover unexpected costs, such as a major car repair or a new air-conditioning unit, you wont have to dip into your long-term investments. And by keeping your debt payments down, youll have more money available to save and invest for your future. Each one of these suggestions will require a commitment on your part, along independence there just arent any short cuts. But with a consistent effort, you can keep moving along on your journey toward your own Financial Independence Day. Plan Ahead for Your Own Financial Independence Day Fourth of July As we enjoy this Independence Day, let us also celebrate our freedom. We are free to set goals, make choices and take steps to prepare for the future we want to live. In last months essay, I told you that in 1964 I was one of about 30 recent American university graduates who were recipients of a Fulbright grant to teach and study for the academic year in India. I described how, an American in such a far off country had no connection, other than a snail mail letter now and then, to his or her family and life back in the U.S. This separation from all that was familiar created a dilemma: How to form in India connections to its people that would help lessen the overwhelming feeling of being an alien in an alien world. The Fulbright India Foundation director had divided us into groups of four, and I was sent with Keith, Bill and Wendell to a university, Sardar Vallabhai Vidypeeth, near the city of Anand in the western state of Gujarat. Initially, we four didnt adjust well. Yes, our Indian colleagues were welcoming, our students friendly and curious about us. Yet all the cultural clues and cues that had ordered and given structure to our lives were gone, and daily we were bombarded by new sights, sounds, smells, and the unfamiliar, and therefore to us odd, behavior of the people. So often one of us would begin the conversation at the supper table with Youll never guess what I saw today or Ill never understand these people (the Indians). The result of our constant battle with perplexity was what youd expect: We clung to what was known. We borrowed a reel-to-reel tape recorder and tapes of folk music by Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and others. We spent our evenings playing bridge and listening to Voice of America broadcasts, or socializing with the one-arm Salvation Army doctor and his wife, both Americans, who ran a bungalow of an American family, Roy and Betty, and their children, pre-teen Charles and teenage Jurette. They were from Bellevue, Washington state, and also on a Fulbright grant at the university. Betty, tall, buxom, with loud laugh and sardonic sense of humor, mothered us through our occasional bouts of stomach distress. An older Scottish couple, who lived near our bungalow, would invite us to share the food they imported from the home country. We four were at risk of becoming members of an insular, expatriate social ghetto, with the consequence of having no more than the incredible richness of their countrys culture. how it happened for Bill, Keith and Wendell. For me, it began with one of those paths crossing moments that leave you marveling for years at how inexplicably accidental life can be at times: you went in one direction instead of another, opened this door instead of that, and your life thereafter was changed. Zarir wasnt one of my students, but we met somehow, probably as the result of one of my students introducing me to him. He stood out, not only because at 5 he was several inches taller than most English (as well as Gujarati and Hindi, the national language), and was a chatty, joke-cracking extrovert. Not for him any shyness with the foreigner (me); and not for him any culturally mandated social distance because I was a meat eater, or my cook was from the Untouchable caste. Zarir wasnt a Hindu, and was thus, like myself, not of any caste. He was a Parsi, a member of one of the worlds oldest monotheistic religions. Its prophet, Zoroaster, lived in Persia (modern day Iran) 600 years before Christ. About the 8th century A.D., most of the Parsis migrated to western India to escape the persecution that came with the rise of Islam in Persia. Zarir introduced me to his friends, a group of about 10 students, who were upper caste Hindus from the East African countries of Kenya and Uganda, where their families owned businesses. They also spoke English, as well as Gujarati and Hindi, had relatives in London and other foreign cities, and were thus much more cosmopolitan in background and outlook than the local students. petals, some of the intricacies of life in India were revealed to me, thanks to Zarir and his pals. They took me to Hindi language movies, which were usually musicals with a fascinating blend of Western and Indian instruments: violins, accordions, sitars, tablas. Theyd whisper the plot to me as it progressed with much singing and dancing. The common theme was one Westerners but with such Indian subtleties as a relationship requiring the approval of both sets of parents, who would then arrange the marriage. My new friends also took me to vegetarian restaurants, where I learned the names of various dishes. In time, I came to prefer Indian vegetarian (continued page 10) If not in our please get your copy at these locations: Anastasia Island St. Augustine

St. Augustine Beaches News Journal July 2013 8 St. Augustine Beaches Advisory Committee Ann Palmquist, Committee Member Palmquist@comcast.net Spiritually Speaking By Fr. Nicholas A. Marziani, D. Min. askfrnicholas@aol.com Seminary Grows Up Pastor, St. James Church, a Catholic Community of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter Email: undine@anastasialaw.net 107 A 11th Street www.anastasialaw.net Well, it seems that seminary school is not what it used to be. In the old days it inevitably meant that the fresh-faced, young graduate (nearly ensconced in an appreciative congregation, having paid his dues into a system of training that parishioners (and I mean that generically, across the denomination spectrum) would respect and reward with smiling faces and congenial nods at the end of the Sunday service. That was the old days. Today, seminary graduates (again, across the denomination spectrum) more and more larger society around them as managers of 17th Washington Post article by Michelle physicians. The fact is that while the church and even society at large generally acknowledge by schools of theology and ministry, the application of that style of education more were, very much in the mode of where the new bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, feels his own ministry is called to be. The church-at-large for its part has to bear some responsibility that so many of its seminary graduates feel turned-off by the institution, and are seeking useful employment and activity outside of its accountable purview. As one very highly placed prelate of the Catholic church, which I do gratefully serve in the ranks of its ordained ministers, put it, Folks, let me tell you, Jesus only promised that the Church could only teach the Truth; He never said that it would be run intelligently. Ha, ha but its the truth. And less than fully intelligent management of the spiritual patrimony of our historic churches have, on the one hand, deprived us of some very devoted and talent people in pulpit and altar ministry. HOWEVER, there is a quid pro quo here, and in a way maybe its all just as well. WHY, oh why, should theological training only incline one toward a paid staff will tell you that the world is in dire need of folks in every profession business, law, medicine, you name it, who understand in a deep way the theological traditions that underpin the more substantive elements of the human psycho-spiritual genome. In church should really serve to so train up the respective traditions who then can go out and bless the world in deep and meaningful ways. I once had a seminary professor who said that every believer (and Ill extend that beyond the Christian context) should be both a theologian and a mystic. One might say that the left and right brains, respectively, should be running on all spiritual pistons. Theological education pertains more to the the mystical and contemplative disciplines more to the intuitive dimension. Seminaries today are supplying that raw intellectual material to ministers of every walk of life who will apply those insights to their own inner lives, and the professions and callings I say, its a welcome shift. The spiritual life is just too important to leave it strictly to the experts! Blessings to you all, Fr. Nick. Luxury 1-acre home site with newer dock. Premium Crescent Beach location.

Getting together we have the chance to summon our collective memories when we gather at the sea shore, in a park, at camp sites, beside lakes or along a river bank, at backyard picnics or at family reunions. We share and listen to stories and know our oral are more recent. These collective histories provide foot notes, missing pages, and in some cases full chapters are added and help to expand our understanding of our history. Remembering and retelling stories of our fractured families and frazzled lives is akin to seeing a beautiful handmade patchwork quilt where worn frayed fabric has been patched and loose threads rewoven. The results is a tapestry both rich in texture and a compelling work of folk art. Advisory Committee (BAC) is pleased to serve and be part of the history of the city. Your BAC has seven members and two alternates all with diverse backgrounds, expertise, extensive training, and an almost passionate belief in public service. All are volunteers who epitomize the essence of service and all could have been the subject of an old recruiting poster WE WANT YOU! TO SERVE. The BAC works to address issues and advise on projects that continue to make a positive contribution. Some of the important goals of your BAC include promoting the principles of Florida Friendly Yards, FFY, selecting the right plant for the right place, endorsing water conservation through use of rain barrels, use of drought tolerant native plants, and encouraging FFY landscape designs. The meetings are always open and the agenda and complete minutes are available. Visitors are always encouraged to attend and suggestions are welcome. The recent Arbor Day Celebrations were successful according to Public Works Director Joe Howell who said over two hundred eighty trees and plants were given to those who attended. These plants will continue to grow and enhance the community. Way to go! July 4th will always be more that just a birthday bash. From the start it has been about service. Service, vision and duty are factors needed for those interested in public service and the members of the BAC continue to meet the challenge. Gratitude is in order for Mr. Greg Crum who has served in December of 2008, and as Chair 2011 and 2012 and part of 2013. Mr. Crum shared the following: During these turbulent years our fair city has experienced a slow down in development and redevelopment here at the beach. As a result, the citys long term visioning plan has been put mostly on hold until the economy recovers. Fortunately, things appear to be turning in the right direction and hopefully the City can start to refocus on implementing some of these plans. Under the leadership of a past chairman, Roger Miller, the P&Z conducted many workshops in regards to the implementation priorities of the visioning plan. Now that we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel, I hope review the suggestions and get to work on undoubtedly beautify our City in the years to come. Mr. Crum has offered his time, talent and service to make this community a better place for all of us. Thank you Greg. It started with the words, we the people, and that means YOU. Beautiful St. Augustine Beach is a great place for families to get together and make a little history, so sand crunches under you feet and each wave washes your cares away but most of all its the people in the most beautiful city by the sea.

In the case of a group life insurance policy, such as one offered by an employer, first contact the group plan sponsor or the human resources department at the contact the employer, you may contact the life insurance company directly. Submit a certified copy of the death certificate (or acceptable alternative) from the funeral director with the policy claim.

They taught me rudimentary Gujarati, so that I could have fumbling (on my part) conversations with students who couldnt speak English well. My friends brought me into their dormitories to meet other students, who invited me to participate with them in major Hindu festivals. As my immersion in Indian life deepened, my attention became focused on the present and not on the life I had left behind in the United States. Most of all, it was Zarir and his family who provided for me the strongest connection to India. They lived in Baroda, a city 25 miles south of Anand. The father, Sohrab, 6 foot in height with broad shoulders, a square jaw and closely cut gray hair, was a handsome giant of a man. He was an inspector for the governmentowned Western Railroad. His wife, whose name is now lost to me, made certain I was overfed. There were three daughters: Rupi, age 21, a Sophia Loren lookalike; 15 year old shy, quiet Firoza, who bloomed as an adult into a slender, beautiful woman; and 12 year old mischievous, ever-smiling Tehnaz. There was an absent son, Nozer, age 26, who had emigrated to California and started a business. I think one of the reasons this family adopted me was because they saw me as a connection to Nozer, the son and brother they loved and missed deeply. It didnt matter that I came from Kansas, over 1500 miles from California. What mattered was that my presence in their home brought America and, by proxy, Nozer to them. One night in particular with the family stands out. Sohrab liked to have a peg of something alcoholic before dinner. Though Gujarat was a Prohibition state, the law was ignored by many and bootleg booze was readily available. As a foreigner, I could get a permit to purchase a limited number of bottles each month of legally made liquor, beer or wine from a government warehouse. This one night I decided to bring a bottle of Indian rum and introduce the family to rum and Coca Cola. It was a hot night. As always before we ate supper at 8:30, we were sitting in the sparsely in the high ceil and a fan that languidly stirred the air. I poured some rum and Coke into three smacked his lips and said good. I think he was being polite. Zarir echoed him and passed his glass to his mother and his sisters, each of whom had a sip. They all grimaced, giggled and began chatting rapidly to each other in Gujarati. My opinion of the concoction was that it could be improved with a lot more Coca Cola. Really a lot more. Sohrab raised his glass. A faint sheen of sweat glistened on his forehead. To Nozer, he said, and then added to America. Zarir had retrieved his glass and there was the tinkle of ice cubes as we three drank the toast. The wife and daughters smiled and applauded, and at that moment I sensed a curious symmetry in that parlor: that I, a citizen from one of the worlds youngest major countries, had been embraced by a family whose members were believers of an ancient religion and descendants from an ancient civilization, road outside the bungalow, the whistling and chugging of the steam locomotives at the railroad station a quarter of a mile away all this receded. I knew then that I had found a family and a home in a distant land. CONNECTIONS II (continued from page 7) Healing Waters Clinic & Herb Shop Digestive Issues? Nothing Helps? Isabell G.

ENJOY A TASTE OF TONIGHT St. Johns County Sheriffs Corner By David Shoar, St. Johns County Sheriff It has been nearly 49 years since a hurricane struck the first coast directly from the east and that hurricane, Hurricane Dora has been the only one to strike from the east since records have been kept dating back to 1851. There are only a very small percentage of folks who remember the destruction that Hurricane Dora caused in the early morning hours of 10 September 1964. The storm made a direct hit at then sparsely populated Vilano Beach with its 120 mph winds and a storm surge of 12 feet. Dora continued east to Lake City and then made a right turn and traveled north through Georgia and the Carolinas before going out to sea. The storm caused one death directly and $280 million damage. Although we have been spared from devastating storms we should not let down our guard and be prepared if a hurricane is headed our way, remember it was not too long ago, we had the outer effects of three storms coming from the west coast that caused substantial damage. I would like to once again devote this months column on Hurricane Awareness or Safety. Hurricane season began at the beginning of last month and lasts until the end of November and meteorologists are predicting an above normal season in the Atlantic basin with a possibility that the season could be very active. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts that there will be 13 to 20 named storms. Of those they say between seven and 11 could reach hurricane strength and of those, three to six could become a major hurricane. You should be familiar with the terms Hurricane Watch and Hurricane Warning. A Watch is issued when conditions are favorable that a hurricane could strike in 36 hours. A Warning is issued when hurricane force winds are expected to strike in 24 hours. By this time you should already have an emergency plan for yourself and family and begin implementation of that plan. Some things to consider in your preliminary plans are: angles, it may not look the same once the storm passes. care at a shelter or at home. a storm. located. to the storm. items on your structures (shutters, screens, eaves, gutters, antennas, satellites). chart do if you have to evacuate. them in safe area.

Sometimes a hurricane path may not be predictable and evacuation orders could come at any time. If you are asked to evacuate, please do so early and know the route you will be taking. Remember there will be many folks taking the same route from a very large area so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to leave safely. Finally, if you refuse to leave following an evacuation order, here are some safety tips for riding out the storm: constructed. cold. the electricity goes off you can use the ice to keep food cold in the refrigerator. the authorities. water. too strong. even if covered. or closet. doors. other sturdy object. Now is the time to go over your hurricane preparedness. If you have not made any emergency plans, you should do them now. Planning ahead will save you unnecessary stress from not knowing what to do or not having the supplies you will need to get you through the hurricane watch, warning, storm, and aftermath. Print and post this list on the refrigerator or somewhere it will be easily seen. Please visit our website, www.sjso.org for additional information concerning Hurricane Preparedness and of course feel free to drop me a line at dshoar@ sjso.org. It is our hope at the St. Johns and happy summer.

But one thing I do not try to hang on to is dysfunction. ing our life time; some more significant than others. We typically brush ourselves off and press-on never thinking of the long-term consequences. We were young, healthy and time to get things checked out.

Perhaps the re-focus is due to our more active baby-boomers, or changes in healthcare and insurance policies. Regardless requires movement and proper movement keeps us healthy.

St. Augustine Beaches News Journal July 2013 16 "El Galeon", a 170 foot, 495 ton, wooden replica of a Spanish galleon, wrapped up a 4-city tour of Florida with a visit to Old St Augustine. This sailing wonder hails from Seville, Spain. Although "El Galeon" dwarfed every other vessel in the harbor, she is considerably smaller than the similarly designed ship, "San Pelayo", which brought Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles to these shores in 1565. Weighing in at a reported 906 tons, El Conquistador's behemoth flagship was one of the most powerful ships in the world when it entered local waters; her fleet carried 800 soldiers and colonists, as well as horses, livestock and weaponry. The sheer size of "San Pelayo" prevented entry into the protected, natural harbor of St Augustine; she remained anchored off Anastasia Island before sailing back to Hispaniola. FYI: the term 'galleon" comes from the oar-powered war "galleys" of the Middle Ages. By the 16th century any large, multi-decked, square rigged, fighting ship was known as a galleon (man-of-war is the English equivalent). This sailing design dominated the world's oceans for 250 years. This Florida box turtle was found foraging in an island back yard. An endemic species, this seemingly gentle little creature is actually a voracious omnivore and will eat pretty much anything it can clamp its sharp beak onto. It favors insects, fruits, vegetables and fungi. Easily recognizable by its highly domed shell, hinged plastron and carapace of brightly radiating yellow stripes, the Florida box has become an increasingly rare sight around The Beaches. Although it looks like a tortoise it is, in fact, a terrestrial member of the terrapin family.The Passion flower is a well known native vine. 16th century Spanish conquistadors first came upon a specimen while exploring Peru, and immediately interpreted it as a good omen; they named the bloom after the Passion of Christ. This stunning and exceptionally complex flower is featured in the "La Florida" stamp. The USPS issued the new Forever stamp, "La Florida" in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the first Spanish visit to North America. In April of 1513, with a charter from King Ferdinand, Juan Ponce de Leon set out in search of the fabled land of "Bimini". During Easter week he sighted a lush, verdant island which he named La Florida, in honor of the Catholic celebration, "Pascua Florida" (Feast of the Flowers). A few days later the crew stumbled ashore and formally took possession in the name of the Spanish Crown. Although Florida does, indeed, have the most colorful and abundant foliage anywhere in the United States, the native flora has nothing to do with its name. Furthermore, the debate rages on as to where exactly Ponce de Leon first landed; Great Abaco in the Bahamas, Melbourne Beach and Ponte Vedra all have their supporters. For the latest take on this argument, here are two recent books: "A People's History of Florida 1513-1876" by Adam Wasserman & "Finding Florida: The True History of the Sunshine State" by T.D. Allman. "I once found a list of diseases as yet unclassified by medical science, and among these there occurred the word Islomania, which was described as a rare but by no means unknown affliction of spirit. There are people...who find islands somehow irresistible. The mere knowledge that they are on an island, a little world surrounded by the sea, fills them with an indescribable intoxication." Lawrence Durrell "Reflections on a Marine Venus", 1953 The St Augustine Beaches News Journal July 2013
