Truck flips on Free food at Buford Grove
Dornbush Road
KATHIE COLGROVE
NCR Reporter
Just before 9 p.m. Saturday, a truck entered the curve on
Dornbush Road near Bea Road and entered the ditch, flipping
onto its side. Damien Boatright, 21, of Callahan was arrested
at the scene. According to an incident report from the Nassau
County Sheriff’s Office, he was a bystander who refused to step
away from the vehicle so deputies could help the occupants.
Boatright was charged with resisting an officer, obstruction
without violence. The Florida Highway Patrol worked the
crash but did not reply to a media request by press time. Photo

Buford Grove Baptist Church
in Hilliard hosts a food giveaway
for area families April 18.
The free food distribution will
be held from 9 a.m. to noon on
a first come, first served basis,
according to organizer and Youth
Pastor Mike Pruitte.
Residents may arrive earlier
but they must preregister.
“We want to have 100 registered by 8 a.m.,” Pruitte said.
Pruitte regularly organizes
food distributions at the church,
but this is the first time that
Farm Share has partnered with
Buford Grove Baptist and distributed food in western Nassau. Up
to 20,000 pounds of food will be
given away as part of a combined
effort with Farm Share.
“I knew that they did this in
special areas and they asked me
if I would host this in Nassau

The Railroad Day Festival
returns for its 10th run in
Callahan – a milepost for train
enthusiasts.
West Nassau Historical Society
members host the family friendly event at the Callahan Depot
grounds from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
April 18. Proceeds benefit the
non-profit’s efforts to preserve and
promote Nassau County’s past.
“We’re attracting visitors from
Georgia, Macclenny, Jacksonville
and St. Augustine so we’re a
regional event,” said society president Emily Baumgartner. “And
we welcome anyone who loves
trains and history to come see all
of the new and wonderful exhibits we have at the Railroad Day
Festival and also at our museum.”
Previously held for two days,
this year’s festival was reduced
to one day to alleviate overnight
security coverage and concerns
and to provide flexibility for
vendors, vice president John
Hendricks said.
A variety of food selections, art,
crafts and children’s activities will
be available. Model trains will be
on display. Brothers Mike and
Danny Thornton will demonstrate
antique gas-powered farm tractor engines. Cochrane’s Collision
Center hosts a car show 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m.
The Shriners will lead a parade
down U.S. 1 at 11 a.m.
Children are encouraged to
dress as hobos in keeping with
the tradition of hobos who rode
trains as means of transportation.
The hobo’s tendency to reuse and
recycle is a nod to Earth Day April
22, Hendricks said.
Area middle school students,
whether homeschooled or attending public or private schools, may
submit essays to compete in the
Nassau County Record’s 2015

Contest. See page A5 for information.
Hendricks stressed the importance of the community’s involvement with historical preservation.
“It’s our 10th Railroad Day
(Festival),” he said. “It’s our time
to pause and reflect on the past
and look toward the future by getting the kids involved. Our depot
is a decade older. Our members
are 10 years older. Our responsibility is to preserve the future by

A discussion over water usage
becomes a bit territorial as council
members express opinions.
Hilliard town officials drafted
a letter to county officials as a
way to best utilize water usage
with Nassau County Fire Rescue
Station 40 personnel.
The Hilliard Town Council
voted 4-1 March 19 to require
the NCFR to give Hilliard Public
Works Director David Thompson
72-hour notice before training
with the town’s water supply.
Failure to provide notice would
result in loss of privilege.
The letter was ready to send
at the meeting’s end, but Hilliard
Volunteer Fire Chief Jerry
Johnson was unable to attend
the meeting. He arrived afterward
and asked the mayor to hold the
letter until the April 2 meeting.
Johnson told the council last week
that he and Thompson had agreed
that a 12-hour notice would be
sufficient.
“Since the original letter was
sent to the county, we’ve not
trained one time with it,” Johnson
said. “My intent with writing this
draft letter was to use the water
we use more efficiently. I would
also like to drop the warning part
in that. I don’t think it’s necessary
to warn them if they don’t comply. … It’s a given that the water
department and the council members have the right to give it or
take it away if it’s being misused.”
“Let me ask you this because
up to now, they ain’t cared what
was said, so why wouldn’t you put
that in there?” Councilman Kenny
Sims asked.
“I do understand that,”
Johnson replied. “But I just think
that you don’t have to tell them
that, you know, for P.R. purposes. You know, you’re giving them
permission to use it. You can take
it away. Because every time that
they train or we train, we have to
call the water department so if we
have misused it, then all he’s got
to say is, ‘No, you’ve misused it so
it’s no longer available.’”
Council President John
Beasley said that there has not
been any contact between the
town and the county and that is
why the letter is necessary.
“This is where we’re at right
now,” Johnson said. “This is what
we’re going to do in the future.
And you know we’ve got to start
somewhere.”
Beasley interjected, “How far
in advance do you know when
you’re going to do training?”
Johnson said that it was difficult to schedule training 72 hours
ahead of time because of emergencies.
Beasley said that a 12-hour
window may be too soon.
Johnson said that because of
the letter, Thompson will receive
a call since there will be repercussions if he is not contacted.
Sims reiterated his desire for
those repercussions to be stated
in the letter.
“I mean there’s no sense in
telling them what to do if there’s
going to be no repercussions for
them not doing what you tell them
to do,” he said.
Later in the discussion,
Land Use Administrator Glenn
Higginbotham said, “We might

The Hilliard Town Council
looks ahead to possible business
expansion in western Nassau.
Nassau County Economic
Development Board Executive
Director Laura DiBella updated
the council on business prospects
April 2.
She was at the meeting to
accept a $750 donation from
Mayor David Buchanan and to
stay updated on council proceedings.
“The West Side is a very, very
big focus for us,” DiBella said.
With Hilliard’s northernmost
location in the state, it could be
a viable possibility when trying
to attract manufacturers. Some
land parcels have been identified
as possible industrial sites.
“The airport is very interesting
that you have here,” DiBella said.
“It’s had some eyes on it recently and I see no change in that.
Again, I can’t say enough. I’m
really excited with the activity
that we’ve had so far in the six
short months that I’ve been here.
I can promise you that you will
see a very large return on your
investment since I’ve been in this
position.”

Free gun
locks
POLICE REPORT
For the Record
Nassau County Sheriff
Bill Leeper announces the
distribution of a limited
number of free gun locks
to county residents.
Locks are
available while supplies
last at the
sheriff’s administrative office, 76001
Bobby Moore
Circle, Yulee
Leeper
Monday through Friday,
9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The cable-style gun
locks are provided through
Project Child-Safe in an
effort to promote safe
handling and storage of
firearms, and protect children from being injured by
securing firearms with a
lock in the home.
“We encourage residents
to pick up a Project ChildSafe safety kit so that they
can store their firearm,”
said Leeper. “Each kit
contains a safety curriculum and a cable-style gun
lock. The locks fit on most
types of handguns, rifles
and shotguns. The goal is
to prevent a child or any
other unauthorized person
from accessing a firearm in
your home.”
Firearm accidents in the
home often result from an
unauthorized individual,
often a child, finding a loaded and unsecured firearm.
“If we can prevent just
one accidental shooting, it
is well worth our effort to
distribute gun locks to our
community,” Leeper said.
The police report is
compiled and written by
CNI reporter Angela Daughtry
from oral and written reports
by the Nassau County Sheriff’s
Office and other agencies.
Arrest indicates suspicion of
a crime, not guilt.
Reward offered
Nassau County Sheriff’s
detectives are investigating two “smash and grab”
break-ins that occurred
March 9 and March 30,
according to reports.
An unknown suspect was
viewed on a surveillance
video breaking the glass
front door of the BP gas
station on A1A near I-95 on
March 30, the report stated.
The burglar, who was wearing a mask and gloves, was
viewed bringing in a trash
can to load a large number of cigarettes using the
”smash and grab” method
in which the thief takes
as many items as possible
before fleeing.
According to the report,
a Sunoco station at 463152
S.R. 200 was burglarized
the same way.
The NCSO asks for anyone with information on the
burglaries to call 904-2250331 or First Coast Crime
Stoppers at 866-845-8477.
Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible for a
$3,000 cash reward if the
tip leads to an arrest.
Drunk stunned
Fernandina Beach police
used a stun gun on a man
outside the Palace Saloon
before arresting him early
March 28 due to “belliger-
ent and combative behavior,” according to a police
report.
Officers arrived outside
the bar around 2 a.m. after
a patrolman asked for assistance in handing an intoxicated 39-year-old man, the
report stated. The man was
reportedly “yelling loud
obscenities and challenging (Palace Saloon) staff to
a fight,” which was causing
a disturbance and attracting a crowd.
After leading the man
to a police vehicle, officers
attempted to calm him
down, but as he continued
to be loud and belligerent
he was placed under arrest.
The man continued to
scuffle with police and
attempted to pull away as
they tried to handcuff him.
An officer deployed his
stun gun, hitting the man
in the back and causing
him to fall to the ground.
Officers were then able to
handcuff him and place him
in a patrol car.
The man was transported to Baptist Medical
Center a short time later for
medical evaluation. Once
cleared, he was brought to
Nassau County Jail and
charged with disorderly
intoxication and resisting
arrest without violence.
Stolen cards
City police discovered
a Fernandina Beach man
had stolen multiple credit
cards in Nassau County and
Georgia after he was caught
stealing a bag from a man at
Main Beach, according to a
press release.
A visitor to Main Beach
reported March 21 that he
saw a man walk off with his
beach bag and get into a car.
The bag thief left the
parking lot in a white
Impala with North Carolina
tags after being confronted
by the owner of the bag.
According to the police
report, city and county
police were alerted as to
the driver’s whereabouts
and a Nassau County deputy pulled him over.
The driver, Jamie Lee
Call, 32, was arrested when
an officer saw the victim’s
beach bag in plain sight.
During an inventory of
Call’s possessions, police
found multiple credit cards.
The names on the credit
cards reportedly matched
additional burglaries in
Yulee, Jacksonville and St.
Marys, Ga. Police departments in Jacksonville and
St. Marys are conducting
investigations as a result of
the local arrest.
Call, of 96128 Pine Grove
Road, was charged with
grand theft. Additional
Nassau County charges are
pending for a theft in Yulee.

Services Taxing Unit. “The
fund levies a 1.6 mil ad
valorem tax only on property owners within the unincorporated areas of Nassau
County. Property owners
within the incorporated
areas of Fernandina Beach,
Hilliard and Callahan do
not pay into the MSTU,”
according to the article.
Ultimately, county officials
want to find a way to tax
property owners across
the board. McConnell said
he did not see this as a
benefit for the town’s citizens because they will be
required to pay extra for
fire services, animal control
and law enforcement within
the new guidelines.
Prior to the vote, Councilman Lee Pickett said,
“I know there’s some bad
feelings between the (county and the) town. But the
guys that’s on these trucks
that’s training, they’re not
in this contest we’re having.
It’s all about safety. I know
some of you disagree with
me on that. But I think the
peeing contest needs to stop
in that aspect of it. Let the
firemen do their part.”
He continued, “And if it
gets out of hand, we’ll take
care of it. But I don’t think
the firemen themselves
are in this fight. … They’re
here to help everybody. And
because this board and that
board ain’t seeing eye to eye
– we need to take that out
of the equation.”
McConnell replied, “Mr.
Pickett if you don’t think
the firefighters or the firefighters’ local union are
pushing this to get rid of
volunteers, you’re living
behind closed doors, son.”
“I think that some of
them are,” Pickett said.
“A lot of them are,”
McConnell said.
“That’s kind of high up
on the ladder,” Pickett said.
The council voted 4-1,
with McConnell dissenting.
The councilman held to the
‘no’ vote he cast in March.
He reiterated April 2 that
he did not object to the firefighters using the town’s
water for emergencies but
utilizing water “without
accountability is an issue.”
Because town officials must
account for water usage,
McConnell said he did not
want the water wasted
unnecessarily with training.

FIRST PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
The Town of Hilliard is considering applying to the Florida Department
of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for a FFY 2014 Small Cities Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) of up to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($650,000.00). These funds must be used for one of the following purposes:
• To benefit low and moderate income persons;
• To aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or
• To meet other community development needs of recent origin having
a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and
immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and
where other financial resources are not available to meet such needs.
The categories of activities for which these funds may be used are in the areas
of housing, neighborhood revitalization, commercial revitalization, or economic
development and include such improvement activities as acquisition of real property, loans to private-for-profit business, purchase of machinery and equipment,
construction of infrastructure, rehabilitation of houses and commercial buildings,
and energy conservation. Additional information regarding the range of activities
that may be undertaken will be provided at the public hearing. For each activity
that is proposed, at least 70% of the funds must benefit low and moderate income
persons.
In developing an application for submission to DEO, the Town of Hilliard must
plan to minimize displacement of persons as a result of planned CDBG activities.
In addition, the Town of Hilliard is required to develop a plan to assist displaced
persons.
A public hearing to receive citizen views concerning the community’s economic and community development needs will be held at the Town of Hilliard on
Thursday, April 16, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. For information concerning the public
hearing contact Mrs. Lisa Purvis, Town Clerk, Town of Hilliard, 15859 West CR

A4 – Thursday, April 9, 2015 NASSAU COUNTY RECORD
Opinion
Small business Budget may increase education funds
declining in U.S.
The U.S. economy is facing a big problem – the
number of small businesses is getting smaller.
For the first time in 30 years, more small businesses are closing than new ones are opening in the U.S.
In census terms, business deaths are outnumbering
births.
It is difficult to ascertain the reason, according to
the Brookings Institution, the author of the study. The
Brookings Institution is a highly regarded, nonprofit
think tank that conducts independent
research on things like this.It is tasked
with providing practical recommendations based upon such research. These
are aimed at fostering economic opportunity and social advancements.
The research report on the state of
small businesses was cited within an
article in the Washington Post recently. The report, “Declining Business
Dynamism in the United States,”
Steve
addressed the rates of creation and
destruction of businesses since 1978.
Nicklas
“The American economy is less
entrepreneurial now than at any point
in the last three decades,” the Post
article stated. “During the most recent three years of
the study – 2009, 2010 and 2011 – businesses were
collapsing faster than they were being formed, a first.”
A hangover from the financial collapse of 2008
could have something to do with these numbers,
indeed. Small business closed at alarming rates
during the ensuing economic downturn. However,
Brookings cites a “decline in business dynamism” as
a cause. The lack of dynamism has not been isolated
to states or regions, sectors of the economy, or sizes of
companies.
Small businesses and potential entrepreneurs have
become averse to risk-taking, hoarding cash and staying put where they are. While Brookings does not provide an explanation for this change in culture, others
can. For instance, an additional $73 billion in government regulations could have an impact. So could the
400 employers who have cut their employees’ hours or
positions due to the new requirements of Obamacare.
Brookings does have a response to this. The institute recommends that the government “adopt policies
that better facilitate entrepreneurship,” while increasing visas for foreign students with science, technology,
engineering and math degrees.
A few other antidotes to the small business fever
include: more availability of loans through the Small
Business Administration, and simpler and lower
taxes. In terms of reducing taxes, new businesses
could receive a special status for five years – as an
“e-corp” for entrepreneurs, for instance.
The famed institute comes to an ominous conclusion in the report, however. “If the decline persists, it
implies a continuation of slow growth for the indefinite future.”
A high-ranking financial official made a plea to a
House Small Business Committee about this same
issue. “America’s entrepreneurs need help,” John
Dearie told members of Congress. Dearie, executive vice president of the Financial Services Forum,
summed up the start-up environment for new businesses. He said all vital signs “are flashing red alert.”
Small businesses cannot endure the “stifling effect
of regulatory burden,” according to Dearie. This is
especially true about new businesses. This is because
they “lack the resources and scale of larger firms over
which to absorb and amortize the costs of compliance.”
And as new regulations are created, on top of existing rules, “Businesses are faced with the challenge
of navigating an increasingly complex regulatory
regime.”

Printed on recycled paper.
Week five of the legislative session began with the
drive back to Tallahassee
Sunday. My son was scheduled to serve as a page and
required to report for duty
at 8 a.m. Monday.
The legislative week
starts early for most lawmakers. In between meetings and remaining focused
on your policy and budget
priorities, you also need
ample time to plan ahead.
Upon my arrival, I created
my to-do list for the day.
My biggest priority was to
draft an amendment to my
pension bill, HB 1279.
The bill that deals with
the administration and
governance of the local
fire and police pension
plans was scheduled to be
heard in the Finance and
Tax committee Tuesday.
The deadline to file any
amendments was before 6
p.m. Monday. Drafting an
amendment can be quite
tedious and time consuming. You must be careful
that each word achieves
the desired changes and
does not create unintended
consequences.
As I worked with the
Florida League of Cities, it
became apparent that the
number of changes would
be substantial. Because the
changes encompassed large
sections of the bill, it was
clear to me that I would
need to draft a strike-all
amendment.
It begins with the words
“strike everything after the
enacting clause and insert
the following amendment.”
It is easier to present the
committee with one strikeall amendment, rather
than several small amendments. It adds clarity to
the process surrounding
the changes from the original bill filing.
Just after noon on
Monday, it was time to
work with bill-drafting
staff to get it done. HB
1279 deals with Florida
Statutes 175 and 185
and pertains to the local
municipal pension plans
for firefighters and police
officers. Although we were
making the same changes
in both statutes, it was
critical that the wording be
just right in both sections.
As the afternoon wore on,
we went back and forth
with the bill-drafting staff.
By 4 p.m., I was satisfied
that the amendment was
correct.
We sent it to the
Finance and Tax committee staff for it to be
included in the next day’s
committee packet. The
strike-all amendment
reverted the composition
of the local pension boards
back to the original statute
that allows the municipality to select two members,
the unions to select two
members and then the four
select the fifth member.
There was one caveat that
the fifth member could not
be a beneficiary of the pension plan.
Monday afternoon, the
Federal and Local Affairs
Committee published its
agenda for Wednesday.
I had not been expecting
HB 1201, which pertains
to the Ocean Highway and
Port Authority board, to be
on the agenda which was
previously full. I had to
prepare to present this bill
in committee.
Roughly 2,000 bills are
filed each legislative session. Most of these bills
die; but rarely do they die
through a vote of the committee. Generally speaking,
when a bill is placed on
a committee agenda, it is
likely to pass that committee with a favorable vote.
Bills that are not placed
on agenda “die” and it is
the committee chair who
decides what bills will be
heard in committee.
When a bill is viewed as
hostile by a special interest group, generally, the
group will appeal to the
committee chair and staff
to prevent it from being
heard. As we head into the

it is easy to say that you

thing to demonstrate it

House members debated
the budget on Thursday.
When a member wants to
debate on the House floor,
you must be recognized
by the speaker. To be recognized, you raise your
microphone up in the air
and hope that the speaker
sees you. It is important
that you have a clear
sight of the person you
are debating and that you
follow the house rules and
demonstrate respect for
those that you are engaged
in debate.
After about four hours
of debate, we were finally
ready to vote on the House
budget plan and send our
proposal to the conference
committees to be negotiated over the next few weeks.
With a vote of 86 yeas
and 29 nays, the budget
bill easily passed with a
bipartisan vote. The vote
to adopt the budget signals
that we are headed toward
the end of session. The next
step involves the appointment of the conference
committees to negotiate the
details between the Senate
and House budgets.
This year there is a $4
billion difference between
the two, mostly centered on
how to pay for hospital care
for the low income. The
Senate wants to expand
Medicaid and use more federal funding and the House
is opposed to this, as this
will create future liabilities
that may negatively impact
taxpayers.
I hope everyone had a
blessed Easter remembering Christ’s resurrection.

Courage to stand up for Christianity
Last week we read that
148 college students in
Kenya were killed because
they were Christians.
I cannot even imagine
what those students
went through. They were
in their chapel having
prayers at the time the
men came in and attacked
them.
The media stated,
“They asked the ones
that were Christians to
stand and they shot them
or beheaded them, while
the Muslims went free.”
If that were to happen to
you, what would you do?
I have thought about it
and I pray I would have
the courage to say, “Yes,
I am a Christian.” These
students certainly demonstrated courage.

live a life of steady goodness so that only good
deeds will pour forth. And
if you do not brag about

will be truly wise,” (James
3:13-14).
James discusses the difference between true wisdom and false wisdom. He
is not thinking about how
much knowledge a man
has, but how he lives from
day to day. The amount of
wisdom we have will take
us a long way.

The great hockey player Wayne
Gretzky wisely counseled that “You
will miss one-hundred percent of the
shots you don’t take.” Of course the
flip side of this is that you will miss a
lot of the shots you do take, though it
is bound to be less than one-hundred
percent. Wise men and women have
always advised us to take calculated
risks, and remind us that when nothing
is ventured, nothing is gained. The
wise man who penned Ecclesiastes
advised us to “Give a portion to seven,
or even to eight, for you know not
what disaster may happen on earth.”
(Ecclesiastes 11:2) This seems to be
suggesting that we diversify, i.e., to
not put all our eggs in one basket,
but rather to invest a bit in seven or
even eight different ventures. This is
certainly good advice when it comes
to our finances, but what about our
spiritual treasures? Should we treat our
souls, or our salvation as an investor
thinking about where to put our
money? Definitely not, for in the realm
of spirit, you have to be “all in.” God
doesn’t want halfhearted followers, so
in deciding where to put your spiritual
wealth, we should indeed put all of our
eggs in one basket.

NASSAU COUNTY RECORD Thursday, April 9, 2015 NEWS – A9
NCSO battles appraiser’s office
Callahan seeks
motorcycle safety
Kathie Colgrove
NCR Reporter
On Saturday rain dampened a game between the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office and Nassau County
Property Appraiser’s Office. They squared off in a softball game to raise awareness and funds to benefit
local charities. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Katie Ride for Life, United Way and the
James Page Scholarship Fund all benefited from the event’s proceeds. The game was played at the Yulee
Sports Complex at the second annual Nassau County Government Day. The event included refreshments
sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance and Coca-Cola, activities for kids including an Easter egg hunt,
and many other activities. The Easter egg hunt was coordinated by members of the Nassau County School
Board and featured over 1,000 eggs with prizes inside. County commissioners Pat Edwards, Danny Leeper,
Steve Kelley and George Spicer served as umpires, Tax Collector John Drew, Commissioner Junior
Boatwright and Judge Robert Foster served as game announcers and Florida State Senator Aaron Bean
served as the emcee. The game was stopped in the bottom of the third inning due to severe weather with
the NCSO in the lead 4-3. Submitted
Motorcyclists and
teachers received municipal support in Callahan
Monday night.
Callahan Mayor Bobby
Rau read a proclamation
during the Callahan Town
Council meeting, designating May as Motorcycle
Safety Awareness Month.
The annual observance
is part of the American
Bikers Aimed Toward
Education initiative. A
group of motorcyclists will
present the proclamation
to state legislators during
an upcoming motorcycle
ride to Tallahassee, Rau
said.
Also, the council will
sponsor a table for a
teachers appreciation
breakfast hosted by the
Greater Nassau County
Chamber of Commerce.
For the past 15 years,
the GNCCC has hosted
the breakfast, honoring
Nassau County Public
School teachers on the
West SIde. This year’s
breakfast will be held
at 8 a.m. May 27 in the
West Nassau High School
cafetorium. The council voted 4-0 to approve
the $100 sponsorship
expense. Councilman
Marty Fontes was absent.
Before the meeting’s
close, Councilwoman
Kathy Smith asked
about getting assistance
to clear an area leading
to a nature trail at Ewing
Park. Council President
Ken Bass said that a volunteer men’s group at
First United Methodist
Church of Callahan has
expressed interested in
assisting in park projects. He said they could
be utilized provided it
isn’t a liability for the
town. Town Manager
Mike Williams said that
it should not be an issue.

Fire damages
flea market
A fire rages through the Pecan Park Flea Market
late Monday evening as about 100 Jacksonville firefighters battle the blaze. The fire consumed the
middle building of the popular flea market located
near the Jacksonville International Airport. Several
Nassau County residents operate booths within the
market. The extent of the damage was unknown at
press time. The state fire marshal’s office continues
to investigate the fire. Photo courtesy of the Jacksonville
Association of Firefighters
Veteran assistance
For the Record
In an effort to continue
their focus on providing
community based services,
Best Friends Home Health
and Companion Care
obtained a contract with the
Veterans Administration to
offer home care services to
veterans and their surviving spouses.
Jamie Deonas, founder
and CEO of the local home
health company, explains
the importance of this new
service.
“These services will
allow veteran’s to receive
skilled home care, home-
maker and health aide services while remaining in
the comfort of their home.
Who better to serve than
our own American heros?”
Based upon certain
qualification criteria, the
VA offers several programs
that can reimburse veterans for home care services
as well as respite care for
veterans and their family
caregiver.
Best Friends Home
Health and Companion
Care serves Nassau, Duval,
Clay, Baker and St. Johns
counties.
For more information,
call 904-277-0006.

announces the launch of
Apple Pay, adding VyStar
to the list of early adopters

You simply pay with a single touch of the finger.
Terry West, president/

their iTunes account into
the Passbook home screen

secure element on the Apple
device.
