Neighbors: St. Augustine Four seek role models
The "rite'' of passage is not necessarily a "right'' of passage. The St. Augustine Four's "Embrace Our Youth Committee'' would like to see that it is at least a viable possibility. Just as most people can be mothers and fathers, though not all can be parents, so also it is usually inevitable that most boys can grow to be men, given the proper passage of time. But not all men will become responsible role models for impressionable boys.

Life in a Nutshell: Diary of a week off at home
Dear Diary, So this marks my big week off at home, with nothing to do but play with the kid and do some house projects I've been planning since Ford invented the Model T. Nothing too big or difficult. Should be fun. And the temperature is only 160 degrees outside, so maybe the elastic in my underwear won't melt to me like last year.

Swingin' jazz and dancing
There's a new spot in town that is unlike any other. The new Milano Room at Amici Italian Restaurant reminds me of what some call a "supper club."

At the Movies: capsule reviews of new films
'The Ant Bully' Another week, another animated movie with a scorchingly starry vocal cast. Meryl Streep! Julia Roberts! Nicolas Cage! (Though the best work comes from Bruce Campbell, best known for the cult favorite "Evil Dead" series.) There's not much new here. Structurally, it's reminiscent of this summer's superior "Monster House," with an awkward boy (Zach Tyler Eisen) experiencing adventures and learning to trust what he'd once feared while his clueless parents are on vacation. Thematically, it calls to mind "Over the Hedge," with its ideas about suburban sprawl destroying nature (it even features a villainous exterminator, voiced by ... Paul Giamatti!). And visually, it's similar to "Antz" from 1998. As in, it looks just like "Antz." But the movie certainly means well, and its worthwhile message (teamwork is good, selfishness is bad) should penetrate the brains of kids old enough to stay in their seats and listen. PG for some mild rude humor and action. 90 min. Two stars out of four.

Saturday evening event
It's a party from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday on San Marco Avenue in uptown St. Augustine. Uptown Saturday Night takes place the last Saturday of each month at shops located between Ripley's museum and the Mission of Nombres de Dios. Art galleries, antiques and specialty shops, and other merchants hold late hours and offer special exhibits for patrons. Join the fun!

'Miami Vice'
Unlike other recent film versions of TV shows like "The Dukes of Hazzard," "Starsky & Hutch" and "Bewitched," which toyed with the innate campiness of their source material, "Miami Vice" plays it completely straight. Deadly straight, actually. It's so self-serious at times, it'll make you laugh out loud at moments that aren't supposed to be funny.

Nonsense makes good sense
Join a cast of colorful characters during the twelth season of Summer Musical TheatreCamp by children enrolled in the Academy of Music and Arts.

It's Showtime: 'Love, Sex, and the IRS' at the Alhambra is a wildly hysterical farce

Column: Color your way into healthy living
We've all heard "a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease." We continually read health claims stressing the importance of eating plenty of fruits and vegetables everyday. Seven to eight servings a day of fruits and vegetables is the recommended amount. Yet the average American diet is only three servings a day. Many times those servings consist of iceberg lettuce, French fries, and a little ketchup for color. A color palette of fruits and vegetables is needed to meet daily nutritional requirements. Color is an easy way to think about adding variety to your diet. Eating regularly from each color in the chart is one sure way to healthy living. Individuals with the highest intake of fruits and vegetables have the lowest incidence of obesity and healthy digestive systems.

Thomas Sowell: How we faced war then vs. how we face it now

Opinion: Rumors of World War III are exaggerated
The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, July 23: The increasingly violent Middle East of 2006 isn't the pretext for the third world war that Americans of Cold War vintage expected. To them, World War III resembled Harry Potter's Lord Voldemort -- a specter not to be mentioned aloud, yet intensely knowable for its menace and fury. World War III would bring near-total annihilation in a nuclear holocaust -- a mutual immolation of the United States, the Soviet Union and their multitudes of collateral allies.

There's good news, and interesting news, in the city of St. Augustine's proposed millage rate increase for the coming year. The good news is there isn't one.
