� e loud, fast-paced buzz of the 25,000 square foot building is intriguing to the senses.

Florida Sun Printing in Cal-lahan on Cravey Road has been in business since 1963. � e original building was on Bran-dy’s Lane. President and Gen-eral Manager Mark � ompson has grown up in the printing industry.

A family in Alabama were the � rst owners of Florida Sun. Its original building was one of the � rst web printers around. � e Alabama family also had a tri-weekly newspaper and a few more printing plants through-out the southeast.

Later, Florida Sun Printing was bought by a newspaper chain in Texas and then they sold it to � ompson and his family � ve years ago.

� ompson says he was pulled out of school to help work at the press. His entire family worked in the process. His mother was a bookkeeper and his sister worked in composition. He and his brother worked in dif-ferent departments as well.

Florida Sun now has regular customers as far away as the Ba-hamas to New Jersey and who have been with them since they started in 1963. � ey print around 350 publications and have a regular customer base of 30 to 40 weekly publications.

� ey are one of the few cold-web printers, meaning the ink is absorbed into the paper and doesn’t dry right away. � e ink is not sent through an oven and the chemicals of the ink are not released into the air, which is also environmentally friendly.

� ompson says everything they use at the press is recycled; the plates, the ink which is a soy-based formula, the paper and waste water. � eir paper is dropped o� , used to print and returned to the same company to be recycled. It is one of the unique services o� ered by Flor-ida Sun.

� e economy has not a� ect-ed the press too much. � ey are not the cheapest press, � omp-son says, but they o� er the bet-ter quality.

He says they have modern-ized and they buy new equip-ment every year to keep up to date.

“We are probably down a small percentage from where we were a year ago, but we are still busy,” � ompson said.

� ey guarantee what they do and they work on the weekends

when needed in order to com-plete a printing job. � ey will send out their salesman to plac-es such as Atlanta for a couple nights to be able to complete their sales calls.

� e process of printing a paper takes an average of two hours. A paper starts out as a PDF. � ey rip it and then put that onto a template. � e im-ages are extracted from the PDF and automatically opened in photoshop. � e white point is set, sharpened and lightened. � e entire PDF is then burned by UV light onto four di� erent plates for the black, red, blue and yellow ink. � ompson says the updated equipment has decreased the time of burning the image onto a plate from 30 minutes to about � ve min-utes. It also increases the dots per inch quality. � e plates are

then sent to the actual printer where a machine prints the im-age, folds the pages of the paper and spits it back out.

� ey also mail from their lo-cation in Callahan and get their address lists directly from the post o� ce.

� ey can print an average of 21,000 prints per hour. To ensure quality, it is not entirely done by machines. � ey have workers who check the colors and adjust them as needed. A lot of the adjustments require the knowledge of engineering and chemistry. Some of the inserting is done by hand as well. Some of the women who work there inserting papers are in their 80s and are dubbed by others as the resident cooks.

“If you like pound cake, it’s a good place to work,” � omp-son laughed.

A look into Nassau’s locally owned and operated press

Florida Sun Printing has been operating in Callahan since

1963.

Florida Sun Printing employs 26 people. All of the employees, with one exception, are from Nassau County.

Volunteer of the year named

David Bullen, the 2010 recipient of the Chaplin Roland Knight Volunteer of the Year award, received this honor at the Barna-bas Center Annual Meeting in early January.

He was chosen from a group of seven � -nalists all of whom were worthy candidates. � ey are Vivian DeCanio, Ken Ford, Bob Green, Bob Powell, Larry Reader, Chuck Russo and Dr. Tom Washburn. All were rec-ognized for their major contributions in one or more of the many services areas that the Center provides.

David is a retired dentist from Chicago. He spends all his spare hours reaching out to those in the community who need help.

“It is amazing how many need food, cloth-ing, physical assistance and essential minor repair work that they simply cannot af-ford, particularly in the winter,” Bullen said. “To contribute your spare time is incredibly rewarding.”

� e Barnabas Center is grateful to David, and to all of their volunteers for their dedica-tion and constant giving of time and energy.

Board President Craig True, Executive Director Susan Holden-Dodge, Volunteer of the Year Dave Bullen and Barnabas Chaplain Roland Knight. Knight was also recognized recently in the Florida Times-Union in the “10 Who Make a diff erence” series.

On behalf of � e Nassau County Vol-unteer Center, I want to thank the 2,000-plus volunteers who gave of their time, tal-ent and resources to insure that our needy friends in Nassau County had a merry holi-day season. � is was the 20th Annual Holi-day Program sponsored by the Volunteer Center and it was a display of tremendous support from our community. Over 140

families with a total of 466 recipients were helped by donors. Of those people served, 240 were children who were adopted by do-nors. Business organizations not only from Nassau County, but Camden County as well, held food drives for both � anksgiv-ing and Christmas and collected thousands of pounds of food, which was distributed by our volunteers.

� e donors were from every sector of the community, all ages, ethnicities and creeds. Local businesses, civic groups, churches, schools, government o� ces and individuals spent countless hours and expended thou-sands of dollars to make certain that those in need were not forgotten during the holi-day season.

Agencies and organizations whose clients were recipients of these donations included Barnabas Center, Nassau Council on Aging, Head Start Peck, Head Start Callahan, Nas-sau County Family Support Services, NE Florida Community Action Agency, Sutton Place, Toys for Tots and individuals. Kudos to the Center’s volunteers who shopped, wrapped gifts and spent countless hours or-ganizing and distributing food throughout the county during the holiday season.

In spite of the economic downturn, the response to our annual holiday program was exemplary and is an indication of the kindred spirit of the citizens in our commu-nity toward those in need. I know I speak for all the recipients of this kindness when I extend thanks to the donors and volunteers involved. We trust that this giving spirit will remain in their hearts throughout the year.

Gail A. Shults, Executive DirectorNassau County Volunteer Center

THANK YOU FROM THE NASSAU COUNTY VOLUNTEER CENTER

Alex Mazur - JuniorFernandina Beach High School

When Alex Mazer says that she likes being busy she isn’t kidding. Her extra curricular activities are above and beyond your average high school junior. Alex is the Secretary of Arms for the National Honors Society where one of her duties is to coordinate a weekly tutoring program for the second graders at Southside Elementary. She loves kids and has been a camp councelor at the rec center for the last fi ve years. She is also involved in student government, Little Women and the ASAP Winter Guard. She participates in band, symphonic and jazz where she plays percussions, (which has been playing for the last seven years.) Alex has also started to dance and has been taking classes at the Ballroom Youth Academy.

Her goal is to graduate at the top of her class and earn enough scholarships to support her collegiate career. We think she is well on her way.

STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

Lindsey Jones - SeniorWest Nassau High School

Lindsey Jones is the president of the National Honors Society and according to the NHS sponsor, Lynne Pulliam, “she has done a very good job setting goals for the group and keeping her fellow students motivated and on task.” Lindsey is also involved in Beta Club, FCA and HOSA.

Lindsey is a big outdoors girl. She plays several sports which include volleyball, track, fl ag football, bowling and swimming. She also loves to hunt and fi sh.

About two years ago she had knee surgery which sparked an interest in pursuring a career in the fi eld. “I think orthopedics is fun, but I also want to have a life.” After she graduates she plans on attending UNF, (for at least two years, then she might switch to UF), to earn her bachelor of science in nursing and then probably her masters.

Cassie Ott - SeniorYulee High School

Cassie Ott has gone through her high school career with her parents’ encouragement as her driving force. “They always told me that I could do anything that I want to, but to just make sure it’s what I want to do.” As Cassie’s high school career comes to a close she knows exactly what she wants to do. She wants to teach. Cassie is still trying to decide between teaching at the high school or elementary level, but she knows she has time to decide.

Cassie has a close group of friends who she considers to be her core. “I would do anything for my friends.”

Cassie is the senior class secretary as well as the National Honors Society secretary. She helped organize a Toys for Tots drive that brought in over 1,000 toys. She has already been accepted to the University of South Florida.

January 28, 2010| The Nassau News 3

I imagine many are wres-tling with the “why” and the “how” of the tragedy in Haiti. We have all heard it said (or have said it ourselves), “How could a good God allow such a terrible thing to happen?” Is it something they did wrong? One particular tele-evange-list says it was because Haiti “made a pact with the devil,” and so this is the result of their actions. While I have heard it is true that some pact was formed (if that is even possible to do) I do not believe what happened in Haiti was a message for Haitians alone or even the direct result of it. No, this message is for all of us.

� e disciples took a similar ap-proach to answering such ques-tions. In the time of Christ, a local disaster in which 18 lives were lost by a collapse of the Tower of Siloam was fresh in the minds of the people. � e consensus was that these 18 people must have done some-thing wrong that earned them such a tragic death. But Jesus rebukes this idea in Luke 13. “[D]o you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” Let’s

be clear: Jesus is NOT vindi-cating the 18 who died from guilt of sin. � ey were not “more guilty” than anyone else in Jerusalem or for that man-ner anyone else in the world. � e religious movers and shak-ers today seem to miss this. In 2004, one of them said Florida was hit with so many hurri-canes because Disney catered to the homosexual community.

Ironically, Dis-ney didn’t sus-tain too much damage in those hurricanes. But my pastor at the time sus-tained signi� -cant damage to his home near Orlando which took months to repair. Why those 18 peo-ple? Why over

150,000 Haitians? Why those 200,000 in the Asian Tsunami in 2004? Why all those who died on 9/11/01? We cannot answer this question. But we can say that every disaster that occurs in the world does serve as a warning to me, to you and to the whole world that God who is Holy is on his throne and calls the world to repent and turn to Christ. Every one of us must see this earthquake as what we all deserve. I know I deserve to be under a pile of rubble ten times over because

of my sin and rebellion. Only for the grace and mercy of God in Christ Jesus, I have not re-ceived what I deserved. Instead I have received what Christ de-serves by faith.

But we still have to wrestle with how a good God could al-low this to happen. Ultimately I do not know the answer. I cannot fathom all the ways of God. But I do know we must have a solid footing on which to stand while we wrestle with such questions. So let me say that this question emphasizes God’s goodness at the expense of his holiness. He is both. When we lose his holiness we � nd it easy to think we deserve certain treatment from God. We are quick to cry out in an-ger for one day of tragedy but never pause to praise Him for the other 364 days of peace and blessings. It never occurs to us things could be much worse and the only reason that they are not worse is because he is so incredibly good, pa-tient and merciful!

What has happened in Haiti is a terrible tragedy over which we must weep and pray. May we all do everything we can to show kindness and mercy to them. But let us also take a step back and consider the message as it pertains to each one of us. � is earthquake, along with all other disasters, is an arrow that points to the fact

If you have had the time or the courage to � sh the past couple of weeks you know as well as I do the bite has been tremendously slow. With water temperatures strug-gling to make it into the � fties, the � sh are not active at all. As I have commented in the past few weeks, the only success that I have had is � shing very slow on the bottom.

� is has been one of the worst weeks that I can remember in a long time. I � shed four days and had almost no luck at all. A few of the days I did not catch a � sh at all. It was not for the lack of see-ing � sh either. I located several nice schools of red � sh in the Ame-lia River and worked them with everything in my arsenal. Noth-

ing produced results. I was literally putting bait right in front of their faces and the � sh would ei-ther swim over the top of it or just plain turn their nose up and high tail it out of there.

I do not take not catch-

ing � sh very well so I called a few friends up to see if they were hav-ing any success and what they were using. As I suspected others were having about the same luck as I was having. � e � sh were just not eating anything.

After I pretty much had given up all hope, I received a call from a friend who was actually having some success. Capt. Dan Flynn was using a little di� erent ap-proach and was still catching some good numbers. He informed me of some plastic baits that he was using

and caught my attention immedi-ately. He told me that he would let me take a few to try out so I left immediately to take him up on his o� er.

Capt. Flynn explained very thor-oughly how he was presenting the baits and after he gave me a few I set out to try them in the water. It was the best decision that I made all week. � e � sh were all over these things. � e bait that I am referring to is the MinnowZ by Z man. � e ElaZtech plastic ° oating bait is unlike anything that I have used before. Not only are these some of the most durable plastics that I have ever used but their pres-entation in the water is second to none.

� e bait itself ° oats on top of the water. I was using it with an eight-ounce jig head to get it on the bottom. Unlike most plastics that just lay straight down, Min-nowZ actually ° oats above the jig head to simulate a bait � sh feed-ing on the bottom. I tried several di� erent colors while working the bait slowly on the bottom near

some oysters. When I tied on the new penny colored minnow I re-ceived instant results. � e � sh were all over this thing. Within an hour and a half, I caught up to thirty trout and several nice red� sh.

If you are anything like me, you use what’s in your tackle box and are very stubborn about trying new things. Sometimes you have to in-vite new ideas in, especially when it comes to � shing. Pure results do not lie. If you would like to try some of these baits, their e-mail address is www.zman� shing.com. Check out some of their other items. I also received a couple of their shrimp that I am dying to try in the right circumstance.

Remember, there is only one week left of trout season before it closes for the entire month of February. Go out there and get them while you can. If you do tie in to some nice trout or reds, send all your pictures and infor-mation to [email protected]. Until next time, enjoy all your outdoor adventures and be safe out there.

� e corporate world was just not for Michelle Meeks. She has been doing hair for 15 years and a year ago decided to open her own hair studio. She says she has a good group of girls who came with her on her new adventure in opening up a studio.

Meeks owns Studio Karma in Fernandina Beach. It is not your conventional hair salon. Meeks and her employees have put in as much of their own personal touch into the studio as they possibly could. � e decor is an eclectic mix of paint-ings, music and nicknacks given to them from customers and collected by Meeks and the employees. � ey painted the walls and doors them-selves and still plan to paint more.

“It’s a work in progress,” Meeks said.

Studio Karma o� ers services for the entire family.

“We give a really good service for the price we charge,” Meeks said.

Studio Karma was robbed early one morning last year. Meeks was opening up and she was alone. Not much was taken and Meeks doesn’t look at it as a setback.

“We’ve come out of it and we’re doing well,” Meeks said. “� is is my hometown and this hasn’t happened before.”

Meeks says she has a regular cli-ent base who followed her from her previous jobs. She says it is a ° exible and fun job that seems to never be-come boring.

If you’re waiting for a haircut, you can peruse the diverse collection of vinyls brought in by regular clients. � ey have an old record player that � ts in with their retro atmosphere.

For Meeks, this is much better than the corporate world.

With so many Americans feeling the strain of a down economy, now more than ever we have to pay close attention to what our politi-cians are saying and what they are doing.

� ere is a tendency in our political system to take advantage of situations when things are not going well for so many people.

When the economy is down, whether it be our national economy or our own personal economy, it’s easier for pol-iticians to create a sense of urgency to get things passed through Con-gress that normally might not have been passed.

� e federal bailouts of the bank-ing and automobile industries are prime examples of this. We were told that if the bailouts didn’t hap-pen within days, that our entire economy could run the risk of col-lapsing.

In the case of the bank bailouts, many of the banks that received money did not want or need it, but they still were pushed to take it. Others didn’t use it in the manner we were told it would be used.

� e automobile industry bailouts resulted in the industry giving up a huge portion of control of their companies - to the federal gov-

ernment. America’s wealth and power as a world lead-

er has been built by having a privately owned, free-market society primarily based on sup-ply and demand. You o� er a product or serv-ice that people need or want, at a fair price, and they buy it from you. If there is a large demand for your products or services, other

companies or people jump on the “band wagon” and begin to provide those products and services as well.

If one company lowers its price to gain more of the market share, the other companies either drop their price, too, or try to increase the quality or appearance of their products and services to justify why their product is worth the higher price tag.

Now, consider this. If the fed-eral government inadvertently takes control of a company or institution and lowers the prices of products

and services to make them “a� ordable to eve-ryone,” the other companies and institutions in that arena are going to be forced to lower their prices as well.

Sound good? On the surface it does. But

POLITICAL VIEWPOINTS

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a liberal doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns out-lawed.

If a conservative is a veg-etarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is homo-sexual, he quietly leads his life. I a liberal is homosex-ual, he demands legislated respect.

If a person of color is con-

servative, they see themselves as independently successful. � eir liberal counterparts see themselves as victims in need of government protection.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal demands the gov-ernment take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liber-als demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-

believer, he doesn’t go to church. A liberal non-be-liever wants any mention of God and religion silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or chooses a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

If a conservative slips and falls in a store, he gets up, laughs and is embarrassed. I a liberal slips and falls, he grabs his neck, moans like he’s in labor and then sues.

Conservative or liberal?

Whenever I am asked whether a subwoofer is necessary to complete a home theater sys-tem, I always answer with this description of a sub: It is an “optional, necessity! It is the Jurassic in Jurassic Park. Not that you want it to ripple your beverage glass at every impact but it de� nitely pro-vides the subtle rumble encoded in many movie scenes. I have lit-erally altered artwork on the wall by having the sub a little too loud, usually provoking a certain look from my wife.

But is it this big, ugly, expen-sive, black cube standing alone like the monolith from 2001 A Space Odyssey? Not at all. Sub-woofers come in various shapes, sizes and colors without breaking the bank. � ey do not have to be out in the open, as some think because a sub is a non-directional speaker. What I mean is a sub usu-ally consists of a 1, 8, 10 or 12-inch speaker, a woofer. It is enclosed by a speaker box of many shapes. � ere is always a “port” or hole where the back pressure caused by the sub’s woofer releases much of the air within the box, actually producing most of the rumble you hear. Because the sub is non directional, it can be placed about anywhere in a room, or

even inside a cabinet or closet. Heck, I’ve hid-den them behind walls and used an air vent grill to allow air and sound ° ow. A powered subwoofer has its own ampli� er to provide watts of power and needs to be plugged in

to an outlet. A powered sub usually has two control knobs as well. One for actual volume and the other for Hertz (Hz) control: how deep of a base you want!

A non-powered sub is called a “passive” sub and uses a crossover circuit to remove the lower deci-bels and produce some rumble. � e non-powered sub is not my choice because you have very little control over the amount of “thump” you can produce and it uses the power of your surround receiver. If your

sub needs to sit out and is visible, there are so many shapes and sizes you should be able to blend it into your décor. Color, wood grains and stains vary tremendously.

As many people know, one of my all time favorite surround movies to this day is still “Top Gun.” I never knew how much of the movie I was missing until I watched it in sur-round sound. � e roar of a � ghter jet scream-ing past the carrier deck would never be the

Are subwoofers necessary?

Tech tips cont. on page 7


� is week’s topic is about the won-derful world of hair conditioners. � e basic function of conditioner is to coat the hair shaft with ingredients that patch damaged areas of the cuti-cle, seal in needed moisture and help protect against further harm. Condi-tioner is temporary. It is only e� ective until the next shampoo. Once the hair is damaged, it remains damaged until removed. My favorite haircut always begins by removing as much damaged hair as possible.

Conditioners have a common base formula: water and emollients. Emol-lient is another word for oils. � e amount of emollient to water determines how intensive the conditioner. When hair is feeling especially dry or dull, a deep conditioning treatment is the way to go. Protein packs are thick with protein and are meant to be left in the hair longer than daily conditioners. Many are heat activated, allowing the hair shaft to open and absorb moisture.

Hair masks include clay and minerals. � ese are good for oily hair because clay draws mois-

ture out. People with light colored hair should avoid hair masks. � ey often contain copper which may leave a re-sidual tinge.

Hot oil treatments are just that: mix-tures of di� erent oils; usually plant, ani-mal or silicone. � ese oils seal in mois-ture while adding softness to the hair. I recommend a deep conditioning treat-ment at least once a month. When ap-plying conditioner, concentrate on the mid-shaft to the ends of your hair. � e scalp’s natural oil takes care of things on top. To keep your color looking fresh, alternate your regular conditioner with

a color added conditioner once a week. When the hair looks especially dull, it’s time for a clari-fying shampoo and a deep conditioning treat-ment. To perform one at home, shampoo, apply deep conditioner and wear a shower cap while watching your favorite movie!

Meanwhile, the best feature will always be your smile.

that we live in a fallen world and that we are fallen creatures who must repent. But they also point us to the cross where God brought an in� nite number of earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes and terrorists attacks crashing down upon His beloved Son. God did not spare his own Son whom he loved from tragedy and disaster! Why? So that you and I could escape his wrath! At the end of the day, the tragedies we experience are nothing in comparison with the wrath Jesus faced on the cross. While, I cannot answer the question to everyone’s satisfaction, I can say that when I consider how God did not spare his own Son from a much worse tragedy, I � nd it easier to have faith in him and his goodness in the face of tragedy.

ANNOUNCEMENT

when you stop to think about it, the gov-ernment does not need to make a pro� t to operate. It not only prints the money, but also forcefully takes money from taxpaying citizens like you and me. � is allows govern-ment to run inde� nitely at a loss and just add those losses to the federal de� cit.

� e privately owned companies do not have that advantage. � ey must make a pro� t to stay in business. If they can’t make a pro� t and stay in business, American jobs are lost.

Doesn’t sound so good now, does it?We as Americans need to wake up and be

cautious who we are voting for in the polls this next election. Mid-term elections are just around the corner and we need to re-search and KNOW who these candidates are and what they stand for before election day. You’ve seen and heard about the ordeal over healthcare reform. It seems to me that most in Congress want more power and control, regardless what impacts it will have on the American people, our jobs and our economy. It has just taken them awhile to decide on whose plan they want to use to achieve that power and control. Is this really the direction we want America to go?
