Dr. Katherine Falwell is a clinical child psychologist and the chief executive officer of Keystone Behavioral Pediatrics and Keystone Child Development Center. She lives in Ponte Vedra with her husband Breon and three children. Dr. Katherine Falwell By Jennifer Logue
What services do Keystone Behavioral Pediatrics and Keystone Child Development Center provide? Keystone Behavioral Pediatrics offers integrated healthcare by a collaborative, interdisciplinary team of 130 child psychologists, mental health counsel- ors, social workers, behavior analysts and techni- cians, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, teachers, and pediatrician working in 17 specialized clinics. We focus on health and wellness, the whole child, and all issues that affect a child’s potential for success including physical, developmen- tal, learning, behavioral and social-emotional issues. We believe that early identification, intervention and treatment are the most effective ways to maximize potential and prevent major challenges throughout a child’s life. To accomplish these goals, we offer a wide spectrum of care, including outpatient, day treatment, educational, community and home-based programs. Keystone Child Development Center offers safe, nurturing and stimulating preschool and early inter- vention services from infancy through kindergarten. We have a minimum of two teachers in each classroom and a child development team that works with the teachers to focus on intellectual, social and behavioral success for each child. With maximum class sizes of 12, we are able to create individualized learning plans. We also offer a Before and After School Enrichment Membership Program open to all children in the com- munity. What led you to focus on behavioral pediatrics?

By Jennifer Logue
The walls of the historic Casa Marina are adorned with vintage photographs and postcards depicting the historic hotel through the years – from the Roaring Twenties and World War II through 1964’s Hurricane Dora and right up to the modern day. Now the Casa Marina will have new photos to add to its walls, enabling future generations of visitors to marvel that the landmark 1925 hotel situated right on Jacksonville Beach made it through Hur- ricane Matthew, cementing its place in Beaches lore as the only remaining ocean- front resort from the early 20th century to survive storms, fires and more. “It was obviously built right,” General Manager Mark Vandeloo said. “To weather all that it has over the years, it’s almost as though it sits on protected land.” The Casa Marina weathered Hurricane Matthew so well, in fact, that just 24 hours after the storm hammered the First Coast with Category 3 winds and a storm surge that flooded much of the Jacksonville Beach area, the hotel hosted a wedding for the historic hotel, stacked sandbags and a thankful North Florida bride and groom. helped relocate guests.

By Jerry Norton Barring a complete collapse by the district-leading Sharks in their final con- ference game against Parker, last Friday night’s football matchup against the Bishop Kenny Crusaders would determine the winner of the Class 5A District 4 title. Both teams seemed to realize that and played with the intensity a championship game demanded, albeit not without sev- eral critical mistakes by both teams. In the end, the Sharks had too much Nick Tronti and Marshall Few for BK and came out on the long end of the 28-21 final score. Tronti connected on 22 of 33 passes – seven to Marshall Few – for 285 yards and four touchdowns. In addition, the quar- terback rushed for 68 yards. Few, who is having an All-Everything season, caught three of his receptions for touchdowns and Parker Shannon recovers a Kenny fumble in gained 147 yards on the night. the end zone.

Panthers fall to Broncos 20-6 By Jon Blauvelt
With the exception of an early scor- ing drive, the Nease Panthers struggled to overcome turnovers and penalties and move the ball effectively against the Middleburg Broncos at home Oct. 14, ultimately losing 20-6 on Homecoming night and dropping out of District 4-6A contention. “We did a poor job across the board,” said Tim Krause, Nease head coach. “We really didn’t play winning football.” Nease (1-4, 0-2), last year’s district Photo by Jon Blauvelt champion, has now lost three straight After Nease quarterback Leighton Alley threw an interception on the first play of the third quarter, the momentum shifted to Middleburg, and the Broncos mounted this scoring drive, which was capped off by a goal line touchdown run by fullback Alex Joe.
