Storm ravages Hart CountyBy Michael IsomStaff writer

A line of severe storms rum-bled through Hart County just after midnight last Thursday causing county-wide damage and power outages.

“The worst storm damage was out there by Cateechee (Golf Club) or out there on Bowman Highway next to the Ag Cen-ter,” said Hart County Sheriff Mike Cleveland on Thursday.

The sheriff’s department started getting phone calls from Hart County residents when the storm began.

The storm ripped the roof off Corey Price and Patience Free-man’s Whippoorwill Trail home. They and their five-year-old daughter, Kamrelyn, were at

Freeman’s parents’ home next door when the storm hit.

“I’ve always been scared of storms, and people used to make fun of me for it,” said Freeman. “This time I’m glad I was scared and decided to leave the house.”

Price said the front wall of his home had caved in and had to be braced. Countless personal items were damaged.

James Fulghum lives on Bow-man Highway near the Agri-science Center and was awoken by the storm.

“I don’t get scared that often, but I have to admit that really scared me,” said Fulghum.

Fulghum lost power for about three-and-a-half hours that

BOE sets aside funds for HCMSBy Vivian MorganEditor

The Hart County Board of Education approved almost a million dollars in improve-ments to Hart County Middle School during its Monday night meeting.

According to David Sea-graves, director of operations for Hart County Schools, the guaranteed maximum price on i m p r o v e m e n t s w i l l b e $972,999.

“It’s a pretty extensive proj-ect,” he said.

The construction project calls for an update of the old portion of the middle school, including the plumbing, new restroom fa-cilities for the four restrooms in the front hall and two restrooms in the gym.

The extent of the renovations needed even prompted one board member to refer to the middle school as a money pit.

“The restrooms have outlived their useful life,” Seagraves added. “This is certainly an in-vestment in the future of the building.”

In addition to the restroom renovations, there will be reno-vations to the locker rooms and external work will be done on the front and side parking lots, curbing and gutters for the parking lot near the baseball field and stormwater drain-age.

“We want to start as quickly as we can after school is out,” Seagraves said.

It was reported during the meeting that the district re-ceived 116 complete enrollment packets for Pre-K registration and that all classes for the 2017-2018 school year have been filled. There is currently a waiting list of 25 children.

It was also reported that reg-

lenging. It’s been a while since I have been in the editor’s seat, but I have been around journalism all my life,” Morgan said Monday. “I’m very community driven. I believe in community journalism and I be-lieve in Hart County.”

Morgan has more than 20 years of newspaper experience, begin-ning her career at United Press International in Nashville, Tennes-see.

Through her career, she has served as a writer and editor at several newspapers across Georgia and Tennessee, including the last year-and-a-half as a staff writer at The Hartwell Sun.

Morgan was a former staff writer at The Griffin Daily News in Grif-fin.

She was the director of publica-tions at Clark Atlanta University and was the editor of the Chats-worth Times.

Morgan was also the assistant editor at the Crossroads News in Decatur.

“I am very pleased to have a pas-sionate community newspaper per-son like Vivian. She has been work-ing with us since 2015 and I have the utmost respect for her profes-sionalism and enthusiasm,” said publisher Peggy Vickery. “She has planted her roots in Hartwell and I feel like this is just an added bonus. Her leadership as editor will be fair and balanced. She has already done a tremendous job for us and I know that she will con-tinue to as our editor of The

Hartwell Sun.”Morgan graduated from Middle

Tennessee State University with a degree in journalism.

She is currently working on a second bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in African and Af-rican studies at the University of Memphis.

Morgan plans to pursue a doctor-ate degree in 2018.

“We relocated to Hart County several years ago and fell in love with the people here,” Morgan said. “So I feel as editor I can be an asset to the community and have the op-portunity to serve the community in a greater capacity.”

Morgan began her new duties on Monday and can be reached at [email protected].

where I worked a number of different jobs, just try-ing to find my spot,” Isom said. “But something al-ways kept bringing me back to journalism.”

The Sun publisher Peggy Vickery says she is ecstatic to have Isom join the team.

“He’s from here so he is able to hit the ground running,” Vickery said. “He is so enthusiastic. He is willing. His attitude is just so good. It’s good to have somebody local on board. And we have Viv-ian (Morgan) and she will do a great job of teaching

him.”For Isom, who most re-

cently worked in Clem-son, South Carolina, it’s just good to be back home.

“What I love the most about being back is that I feel like I am a part of something important,” he

said. “My family, my roots and my heart are here. I’m now part of an organi-zation that keeps the citi-zens of this county well informed. You can’t beat that.”

Isom is the son of Danny Isom and the late Kathy Isom.

A Hart County woman was arrested on multiple charges after allegedly leading Hart County sher-iff’s deputies on a high speed chase at approxi-mately 11 p.m. last Thurs-day on Elberton High-way.

Tamara Elizabeth Wil-liford, age 50, of 567 Cedar Pond Road, was arrested and charged with felony fleeing and attempting to elude a police officer for a felony offense.

She was also charged with DUI-second offense, open container, and fail-ure to maintain lane, all misdemeanors.

“We received several calls from (Hart County) EMS stating they were behind a vehicle that was stopping in the road and traveling on the wrong side of the road,” said Hart County sheriff’s dep-uty Chris O’Barr on Fri-day. “Those are just gen-eral signs of an impaired driver.”

According to O’Barr, Hart County captain Tracy Mize got there first

and tried to initiate a traf-fic stop.

“At that point he went around the vehicle to try to get in front of it and slow it down or possibly get it to stop that way,” O’Barr said. “I stepped up my response and got up to them and the vehicle was pretty close to (Mize). We continued on that way going about 40 to 60 mph.”

O’Barr said the pursuit reached approximately 90 mph at times.

The Elbert County Sheriff’s Department and Georgia State Patrol were also contacted and joined the chase.

“As we got closer to El-bert County (Hart Coun-ty) dispatch told us that Elbert County could de-ploy stop sticks at High-way 368, i f needed,” O’Barr said. “We told them to deploy them be-cause of the manner in which the car was being driven and we felt like if we didn’t, someone could get hurt.”

Williford was released on a $9,050 bond on April 7.

night. Daylight revealed several snapped trees and an entire row of downed power l ines across the street from his house.

Lynne Adams had a similar experience at her Ross Road home.

“I have lived in this house nearly 30 years, and haven’t, until now, heard a hailstorm like

this here,” she said. “I seriously thought the windows might break.”

According to Ed Hoy, supervisor of system op-erations with Hart EMC, over 1,500 members were without power at the height of the storm. The biggest concentration of incidents were reported in the Liberty Hill and Sardis areas.

“Enough praise cannot be given to the (Hart County) Fire Department and the volunteers and the (Hart County) Road Department. They were actually the hands-on chain saws, tractors, and whatever was needed to get the job done,” Cleve-land said. “It was just amazing the amount of huge trees in the road.

We aren’t talking about one tree. We are talking about multiple trees.”

Hart EMC brought in extra crews from Pike Electric to help with re-storing power. By last Thursday afternoon, the number of active power outages was down to less than 100 in Hart Coun-ty.

By Vivian MorganEditor

The first thing you notice when you walk into Cateechee Golf Club and Conference Center this week is the smell of fresh paint. But, fresh paint is only the tip of the iceberg of the many changes that are taking place at the golf club since the re-cent change in ownership.

New owners Charly and Kelli Schell have undertaken a major overhaul of the golf club and its programs.

“It is awesome to have something like this available in the commu-nity,” said Charly Schell. “There are a lot of reasons to fall in love with Hartwell. When you have this as a venue, that makes it even eas-ier.”

At the top of the list of improve-ments are the changes that have been made to the club’s member-ship.

In the past, the only reason to hold a membership at Cateechee was if you golfed. Now, the club is offering a social membership for in-dividuals who do not golf but want to enjoy the club’s other amenities.

The cost of the social membership is $179 a month and comes with a $100 a month food credit at Water-fall Grille. In addition, social mem-bers are given an additional 15 per-cent discount on all food purchases in the restaurant. They also receive a discount on lodging and room rentals, and will have unlimited use of the club’s 24-hour fitness center and the clay tennis courts.

“If you eat out here once or twice a week for lunch and then once or twice a month for dinner, the mem-

bership is essentially free,” Schell said. “We really want the public to understand that we are doing this for the community. But, it’s a bal-ance.”

There are also corporate, student, out-of-state, and full memberships available.

Schell says he and his wife are focused on providing the highest quality of food and service that they can for the community.

“We are not looking for people who are looking for the cheapest place in town to eat,” he said. “But if you are going to attract people out here for important events, then the quality of what you are provid-ing needs to be commensurate with that expectation. We are working every single day, incrementally, on improving the quality of what we are offering.”

According to Schell, most golf clubs are either public or private. Cateechee is more of a hybrid.

“What we have found in discuss-ing how to make this work is that balance. When you are semi-pri-vate, that is very difficult,” Schell said. “When the restaurant is one of the key components of what the public will use, the question is how do you strike the appropriate bal-ance between having it open to the public but consistently making your members feel like they are getting the value and the service they de-serve.”

The Schells believe the 15 percent discount on food as well as the food credit fit that bill.

Angie Isley, project manager for Cateechee, is working with Kelli Schell on making improvements to the lodging aspects of Cateechee.

“We recognize that most folks in Hartwell don’t know we have lodg-ing here,” Isley said. “It is available to the public but members do get a discount.”

Currently, there are four suites upstairs at Cateechee. Those suites are getting a facelift.

The former Lintel, Inc. offices are also being converted to an executive suites area that will house four suites.

“We are doing a complete renova-tion in that space,” Isley said. “Ad-ditionally, we have a cabin that we are doing a total renovation on.

Renovations on the three-bed-room cabin are expected to be com-plete in about two weeks; the exist-ing suites are almost ready; and the executive suites will be ready by June 15.

“When people have special events and have guests in from out of town, they can use this place for that special event,” Schell said. “When you are having an anniver-sary and you have family members come in but don’t have enough room at your house, this is the perfect place to lodge your guests.”

All-in-all, Cateechee has 28 to 30 available beds on site and 16 beds available at a lake home owned by the Schells.

Another major improvement that is taking place at Cateechee will be on the greens.

“We will be closing the entire golf course for 10 to 12 weeks and in-vesting in all new greens,” Schell said. “That is an expensive process but we have to make sure that the quality of what we are offering is at the highest level.”

Cateechee making upgrades

BOA prepares for meeting

By Michael IsomStaff writer

County Administrator Terrell Partain delivered specifics regarding the feasibility of adding onto the existing jail in his re-port to the Hart County Board of Commissioners Tuesday night.

BOC Chairman Dorsey led into the issue at the meeting as a topic the BOC “dreads” talking about.

“I hate to say it that way, but it is what it is,” said Dorsey.

The BOC had asked Partain and Sheriff Mike Cleveland at the last reg-ular meeting to begin looking at cost analysis as they prepare to make de-cisions on SPLOST (Spe-cial Purpose Local Option Sales Tax).

The first time this issue with the jail was investi-gated was 2007. In that assessment, certain func-tions the jail lacks were highlighted.

Three separate firms in-vestigated the issue, and all reported that it would be cheaper to gut the old jail and turn it into ad-ministrative offices rather than add on to it for the purpose of housing in-mates.

The possibility of add-ing administrative offices and minimum security metal buildings was also discussed.

Partain stated the main question for now is which direction to start looking and the seriousness of making a decision.

“Well, we’ve got to do something,” said Dorsey. “I think we just need to have a separate work ses-sion meeting where we can sit down and discuss and do some brainstorm-ing.”

Partain reiterated there are some significant is-sues.

According to Dorsey, re-gardless of SPLOST, the BOC must be prepared to move forward once a deci-sion is made.

“There’s got to be some-thing done, SPLOST or no SPLOST,” said Partain.

The BOC agreed to schedule a work session to further discuss the issue after their next regular meeting on April 25.

In other business, Dors-ey went over the county financial report. Expendi-tures are 8.95 percent below budget, while reve-nues are 22 percent above budget.

Dorsey stated there is

some catching up to do in regards to EMS fees and vehicle title fees, but over-all everything looks good from a budgetary stand-point.

Damage f rom las t week’s severe storms was discussed, including the question of why there is no shelter available to citizens before the onset of severe weather.

Partain explained that there is no way to deter-mine how severe the storms will get or where they will hit.

Partain stressed the im-portance of citizens regis-tering for code red emer-gency notifications using a link at www.hartcoun-tyga.gov. The notifica-tions come directly from the National Weather Service to your phone. Those who wish to regis-ter can also call the 911 addressing office to regis-ter if desired.

The motion to add vend-ing machines in govern-ment buildings at no cost to the county was carried unanimously.

The authorization to file a satellite market modifi-cation request pertaining to Greenville stations and/or Atlanta stations being available in the county was also on the agenda.

According to Partain, whether or not both mar-kets can be readily avail-able to the area once a decision is made is un-known at this time.

A motion to table the issue until a clear answer is defined was passed unanimously.

An amendment to the policy in which newly ap-pointed members of the Hart County Board of As-sessors begin their term in the month of October to allow time for attending courses before the end of the year was carried unanimously.

The BOC unanimously approved an amendment to the fiscal year 2017 Legacy Link Contract. In it there will be $185 bud-geted to the county’s pay out portion regarding meals for the senior cen-ter.

A decision on a beer and wine license to Bottom Groove Racing, LLC on Lavonia Highway was tabled until the next regu-lar meeting to allow time for further investigation of regulatory specifics.

Dorsey abstained from the vote due to a conflict of interest.

The Hart County Board of Assessors met Monday morning for a work ses-sion to discuss 2017 sales data and ratios.

The mainpurpose of the work session was to pres-ent findings and prepare the board to perform due diligence prior to voting in next week’s meeting. They will be voting to submit the finalized 2017 assessments by the May 15 deadline.

With the preliminary ratios, the board can then determine if there are any issues that need to be addressed.

The raw numbers in-clude city, lake, commer-cial and large-acre farm tracts among others. The Georgia Department of Revenue determines a range for the ratios of .36 to .44. Hart County has the third best ratios in the state according to the Georgia Department of Audits.

Chief Appraiser Wayne

Patrick went over the re-sults with board mem-bers and hit key points. According to Patrick, some counties only adjust their schedules for deter-mining ratios once every three years, but Hart County adjusts every year.

“The market is chang-ing a little bit,” said Pat-rick. “But it’s not chang-ing enough that we can’t keep up with it from one year to the next.”

The next regular meet-ing is scheduled for 9

a.m. Tuesday in the prop-erty appraiser’s office on Cade Street.

BOC talks jail

The community lost an icon early Wednesday morn-ing when Maurice Vickery transitioned from this life to the next.

His wife, Wassie Vickery, was the longtime editor of The Hartwell Sun and she continues as the editor emeritus.

But, Maurice is easily remembered for his own at-tributes. While many can remember the wonderful cheese biscuits he was known for making, others will always remember him as “the littlest hobo,” a charac-ter he created to help raise funds for special needs children.

He also had a tremendous impact on his son, Terry, in that Maurice served as fire chief for the City of Hartwell, just as Terry does today.

Members of First Baptist Church will remember Maurice as the talented artist who created the art-work that adorned the church bulletin for so many years.

His passing leaves a gaping hole in this community but the fond memories of his life will endure forever.

We will miss you, Maurice.

Having the oppor-tunity to work at the paper allows

us to meet so many peo-ple within our communi-ty that we might not oth-erwise cross paths with.

This week I had the

pleasure of meeting, in person, Linda Diane Jor-dan Carey. She has been writing letters to the paper for several years.

Just like me, she grew up in Vanna and for the last 25 years she has been writing poems, short sto-ries and articles and even published a book.

After the death of her mother, Shirley Ann Gra-ham, Linda found comfort in writing.

“Going through grief I found so much comfort in writing and I also wanted to write things that would help others who might be going through the same experiences, said the 65-year-old author.”

In 1984, Linda was able

to meet Hall of Fame au-thor Terry Kay. Kay, also from Vanna. He was hav-ing a book signing in Lavonia. Linda wanted to purchase his latest book, “The Story of Marie” and have him sign it.

To her surprise, Kay told her he had purchased a copy of her first book, “Roses on my Shoulder.” They were able to ex-change conversation and

he truly encouraged her to continue to write.

Recently, Kay mailed her a letter along with a journal to encourage her to keep writing.

“I was so honored to re-ceive such a meaningful gift. I couldn’t believe he took the time to mail me a letter and this beautiful journal,” she said as she smiled down looking at it.

A godly woman, she feels so blessed to be able to do this and hopes and prays that her writings will inspire and help other people.

She is going to let me know when she has her second book complete to share with the world.

Letter of thanks

Editor,To the people of Hart

County whose generos-ity knows no bounds, we offer our greatest and most sincere thanks. It is such an honor to live in a community that is so supportive and uplift-ing. Everyone’s thoughts and prayers have made this horrible time in our lives a little bit easier. We cannot thank every-one enough for the love and support they have shown us.

To everyone that do-nated to Parker on open-ing day we just want you to know how much it is appreciated. It will help us out so much with the expenses that we will incur while battling this horrible disease. This money has helped to cover his deductible for this year, so it is greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to help in the future please donate to the American Cancer So-ciety in honor of Parker to help fund research so that more people do not have to go through what he is having to endure right now.

We would also like to extend a big a thank you to the Hart County Little League for organizing this generous fundraiser for us, and also for al-lowing Parker to throw out the first pitch. It is a memory that we will

cherish for a lifetime. In conclusion we would ask for continuous prayers for God’s healing hands to continue to provide strength and healing for Parker.

Our greatest and most humble thanks,

Tyler, Chase, Amelia, and Parker Whisnant

Lesson learned

Editor,This is a story of a

young man raised by Christian parents. He had a loving and caring life.

As time went by it was time for graduation from high school. The young man told his parents af-ter graduation, you both know I will go to col-lege. His loving parents told the young man, you know son we will be very proud of you and we al-ways have been.

When their son gradu-ated from high school he went home with his par-ent getting ready for col-lege. He said to his par-ents, I know you have a

gift for me, right!The father gave his son

a new Bible. He told his father, I wanted a new truck to go to college in, what a gift it is nice, but I wanted a truck. I am hurt with you mom and dad, why did you do this to me?

He left with friends to go to college. He did not call his parents for years still mad, upset. He did not open the Bible his father gave him on his graduation day from high school.

He kept the Bible while in college but for-got to study God’s word. He was caught up in his studies and a material world. One day his moth-er called and she said, son your father died to-day. He missed you very much. You did not call so we waited for you to call, but you never did.

Did you read in the Bi-

ble in 1 John or any vers-es? The young man said, no mother I did not. I am so sorry we lost dad.

Do you have the Bible he gave you? The son said yes. The mother said turn to 1 John in the Bible, the son turned to 1 John read a few verses and found an envelope saying my dear son I love you always dad.

Also in the envelope was a check for just enough to buy a new truck to drive to college.

He dropped to his knees crying. Oh Lord what have I done. I can’t see dad to apologize. I am so ashamed of myself.

His loving mother told him to come to his dad’s funeral.God will forgive you son if you ask him but you learned a lesson from God.

God bless you.Linda Diane Jordan

By Richard SilpeContributing writer

The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan, April 10–18. It commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is ob-served by avoiding leav-en, and highlighted by the Seder meal that in-cludes four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus.

In Hebrew it is known as Pesach (which means “to pass over”), because God passed over the Jew-ish homes when killing the Egyptian firstborn on the very first Passover eve.

The Haggadah, which is read during the Seder, is the fulfillment of the biblical obligation to tell to our children the story of the Exodus on the night of Passover. It be-gins with a child asking the traditional “Four Questions.”

Why is this night differ-e n t f r o m a l l o t h e r nights?

On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this night only matzah.

On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only bitter herbs.

On all other nights, we don’t dip our food even once, and on this night we

dip twice.On all other nights we

eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline.

The answers tell of slavery and freedom.

Why only matzah?Slavery: Matzah was

the bread of slaves and poor, it was cheap to pro-duce and easy to make.

Freedom: Matzah also commemorates the fact that the bread did not have enough time to rise when the Jews hastily left Egypt.

Why bitter herbs?Slavery: The maror

(bitter herbs) reminds us of the bitterness of slav-ery in Egypt.

Why dip twice?Slavery: The salt water

into which we dip the karpas (potato, onion, or other vegetable) repre-sents the tears we cried while in Egypt. Similarly, the charoset (fruit-nut paste) into which the bit-ter herbs are dipped re-minds us of the cement we used to create the bricks in Egypt.

Freedom: Dipping food is considered a luxury; a sign of freedom -- as op-posed to the poor (and en-slaved) who eat “dry” and un-dipped foods.

Why recline?Freedom: We commem-

orate our freedom by re-clining on cushions like royalty.

Next year, we’ll be in Jerusalem.

The perfect companionYoung Ray Lindstrom had been waiting a long time to get a dog. We wanted to do all we could to find the perfect companion and make Ray’s experience a good one. Abby Rae was a timid Lab. mix we rescued from Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter. Volunteers worked with the sweet dog to build her confidence, we felt her spirit was worth the extra effort. Look at her now! Abby Rae is living the good life with a best friend in Penn-sylvania. Ray asked in lieu of gifts for his birthday, donations be made in honor of Abby Rae’s rescue. Wow, six hundred dollars was raised to help care for other animals in need! Thank you Ray Lindstrom for loving a rescued pet and for caring for others still wait-ing.

St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital an-nounced April 4 that it is a recipient of the Healthgrades 2017 Pa-tient Safety Excellence Award™, a designa-tion that recognizes su-

perior performance in hospitals that have pre-vented the occurrence of serious, potentially avoidable complications for patients during hos-pital stays.

The distinction plac-es St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital among the top five percent of all short-term acute care hospitals report-ing patient safety data to the Centers for Med-icaid and Medicare. Sa-cred Heart received the award for its excellent performance as evaluat-

ed by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive in-formation about physi-cians and hospitals. St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital has received the award three years in a row and is the only hospital in Northeast Georgia to be named among the top five per-cent in the nation for Patient Safety for two consecutive years (2016-2017).

During the 2013-2015 study period, Health-grades found that pa-

tients treated in hos-pitals receiving the Patient Safety Excel-lence Award were, on average:

•40 percent less likely to experience an acciden-tal puncture or lacera-tion during a procedure than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

•44.6 percent less likely to experience a collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or around the chest than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

•54.4 percent less

likely to experience catheter-related blood-stream infections ac-quired at the hospital than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

•50.2 percent less likely to experience pres-sure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital than patients treated at non-recipient hospitals.

“Patient safety is our top priority,” said Jeff English, president of St. Mary’s Sacred Heart Hospital. “Our staff and medical staff work hard to implement and

maintain best practices for clinical quality, pa-tient safety and patient experience. Keeping ahead of changes in our fast-paced industry re-quires a rigorous con-tinuous improvement process. We are deeply honored that our efforts have been recognized by Healthgrades as among the best in the nation.”

C.J. Hamilton (10-4) of Con-temporary Martial Arts defeated Jesse Bazzi (6-1) by unanimous decision at Legacy Fight Alliance (LFA) 8 last Friday at the TD Convention Center in Greenville, South Carolina.

It was the first ever televised mixed martial arts event in South Carolina

The entire main event was televised live and nationwide on AXS TV.

Hamilton is currently on a six-fight winning streak after de-feating Bazzi in the main event.

Hamilton said on Monday it felt good to pick up the win.

“(Bazzi) was trash talking a lot and he bit off a little bit more than he could chew. I guess in some of those interviews (with other magazines) you have to say something,” Hamilton said. “Now it’s just on to the next fight.”

CMA trainer Chuck Cawthon said Hamilton has been very willing to do anything asked in order to win.

“If I say jump, he says ‘how high’ and if I tell him he needs to train at this gym he says ‘yes sir’,” Cawthon said Monday. “He

trains on his own. He does strength and conditioning and puts in the work.”

Hamilton said he broke Bazzi down during the fight.

“I knew that he thought he could stand with me, but with

the people I train with and my style, it is very hard to do that,” Hamilton said. “I can defend takedowns and I can take you down. It’s things that Chuck (Cawthon) has me involved in every day.”

Cawthon said Hamilton could have beaten Bazzi in kick-box-ing, wrestling, boxing, jiu jitsu, and in mixed-martial arts.

“I think what happened in this fight was that Jesse Bazzi kept saying all he had to do was put

his left hand on C.J. to get the win,” Cawthon said. “I think that kind of put a chip on C.J.’s shoul-der. In the second round C.J. could have easily taken his back and finished the fight with a rear-naked choke. C.J. just de-cided to show this kid how he could strike and beat him at his own game.”

Hamilton will fight in a to-be-determined fight in either June or July.

Also fighting on the card from CMA was Jay Gray, who lost by split-decision in his first fight after taking a year off.

Gray lost to Roger Pratcher.“(Gray) had switched jobs and

just didn’t have the time to train. He had to be at work the same time training was,” Cawthon said. “(Gray) was prepared. He outstruck him, cut him under both eyes, and busted his nose. Throughout rounds Pratcher was spitting blood into buck-ets.”

Cawthon said in the end, the bigger fighter won the fight.

“(Gray) won one round, accord-ing to all three judges, and it was tough,” Cawthon said. “After a year layoff and losing by split-decision, Jay knows what he needs to do to get this next win.”

This photo is from an orphanage in India. Naveli and Nitya visited it in 2012 . Charity Dresses has sent clothing there over the years.

RHODE ISLAND – When Nicolas Lowinger was five years old, he got a new pair of light-up sneakers. Boy, was he happy!

Then his mom took him to volunteer at a local homeless shelter and he saw children with shoes that were falling apart. Some kids didn’t have shoes at all.

When he was twelve, Nicholas started a non-profit called Gotta Have Sole. His organization collects shoes and money to buy shoes.

So far, he has donated more than 56,300 shoes to kids!

CALIFORNIA – For some families, Sundays are spent collecting, washing and packing clothes; clothes that can save lives.

They do this because of two young sisters in San Ramon, California.

Naveli and Nitya Garg came up with an idea of how to help people facing dire poverty around the world.

When she was six years old, Naveli asked her mom, “Santa gives us so much, what does he want in return?”

Her mom replied, “He wants you to help the poor.”

Naveli and her sister started a club called Charity Dresses to collect clothing and give it to

poor people around the world.

“I have seen some of the poor people in India. It is a miserable state, sometimes with no clothes. They are freezing cold,” explains Naveli Garg.

Since the Garg sisters started their first Charity Dresses club, another eight clubs have been started. If you would like to start a club in your community, learn how at www.charitydress.com

Match each pair of shoes. Can you find the single shoe that

has no match?

Can you get this shirt into the donation box?

Knowing how to spend, invest and save your money carefully also includes donating your time and treasure to make your community a better place. This is called philanthropy.

Receive or Give?

Some say it is better to give than receive. Do you agree?

Why or why not?

The adjective dire means extremely serious or urgent.

“JUST THE FACTS, MA’AM”

In the TV series Dragnet , Sgt. Friday was famous for instructing witnesses to stick to the facts. So, what are the facts about the death and resurrection of Jesus?

The facts are: Jesus was crucified on a tree. He was buried in a rich man’s tomb. Jesus’ death caused his disciples to lose hope. The tomb where Jesus was buried was found to be empty a few days after his burial. Many witnesses saw Jesus in his glorified body following his resurrection. Christianity spread throughout the world, with Jesus’ death and res - urrection as the central theme.

How do you deal with these facts? If you ignore them or reject them, may God open your eyes to the truth.
