• A special showing of the new movie on golfer Bobby Jones will be Saturday at the San Marco Theatre. It’s a benefit for The First Tee golf program here and that’s why the ticket prices are a rather un-movielike $50 each. John Donahoo at the Bank of America will take your money.

• Bill Mason’s fund-raising expertise built a lot of the Baptist Medical System and now he’s helping the academics. He’s filling in as head of the Florida Community College at Jacksonville Foundation while they look for a new director.

• If you still need a tax form, the IRS Service Center in the 550 Water Street building has them. But remember to bring some identification. Because it’s a government office there’s a security guard on duty checking IDs.

• The Jacksonville Transportation Authority is hosting an Intelligent Transportation Systems Summit Thursday at the Radisson. Several transportation experts from around the country will be in town to see if ITS would work here.

• Mayor’s office spokesperson Susie Wiles says her dad, former NFL player and hall-of-fame broadcaster Pat Summerall, is doing well following a liver transplant last weekend. Wiles said surgery kept Summerall from watching Sunday’s final round of the Masters, a golf tournament that he used to call for CBS. Summerall did get to watch good friend Arnold Palmer’s last round at Augusta on Friday and will get to watch Phil Mickelson’s back-9 duel with Ernie Els on video when he feels up to it, she said.

• Miss Teen Jacksonville apparently caught the politics bug on a recent visit to City Hall. Fresh off a March 18 meeting with Mayor John Peyton, 17-year-old Stevie Rivenbark contacted Peyton about a possible summer internship. Rivenbark is heading to Florida State in the fall to study political science and Chinese.

• Big sale at The Plaza at Berkman: a condo went for $1.3 million.

• It’s another first at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. Edward Waters College will play its first-ever game at the stadium at 4 p.m. when they face the Bees of Savannah College of Arts and Design. The game will follow the Suns contest against Greenville.

• Florida Coastal School of Law’s annual Northeast Florida Environmental Summit will address the Super Bowl’s impact on Jacksonville’s resources. The school has asked Mayor John Peyton to attend the Nov. 18 forum to address the effects of increased noise and air pollution, littering and increased use of eco-tourism locations.
