(0 7 12 FL 3261- 'FL 6 7007 99th Year -32nd Issue to ,..TS It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Lake Butler BY TIFFANY CLARK Times Editor Lake Butler City Council members and volunteers from New Perceptions, Inc., out of Starke joined efforts at city hall on Dec. 2 by packing goody bags for children to be passed out at the Lake Butler pavilion after the Christmas parade on Dec. 3. The combined efforts of volunteers and.council members kicked off the celebrations to follow. The Christmas parade was almost cancelled due to lack of entries for participation, but at the last minute, entries came in to provide enough participants to hold the celebration as planned. City hall was in charge of planning the event and announced at the last council meeting that they were fortunate enough to get a Santa for the parade free of cost this year. City council members present for the packing of the goodie bags were: Mayor Fred Sirmones, Vice Mayor Lonnie Norman, City Manager David Mecusker and city council members, Scott Cason, LeRoy Stalvey and Jimmy Beasley. New Perceptions, Inc., volunteers were: Mary Kay Hall, Rudy .Bradley, Casey Westcott, Boyd Hall, Theresa Lacen and Farah Marcellus. The goody bags were packed with an orange, an apple, a coloring kit, marshmallow Santas, marshmallow North Poles, candy canes, assorted candies, assorted chocolates, a pencil and bubbles. The parade began just after dark on Dec. 3. The Union County Sheriff's Office blocked the roads and led the way, as usual. The Union County High School Tigerettes followed, dressed in their seasonal Mrs. Claus outfits, with the UCHS band following close behind. Each band member's pants were lined with purple lights as they marched and performed for the surrounding crowds. Afterward, a variety of floats decorated for the holidays followed. Floats and participants included: Union County Cub Scouts with a Sponge Bob theme; the Lake Butler Rotary Club with elves and Christmas d6cor; Grace Christian Fellowship Church; See PARADE page 2A (L-R) Santa poses with attending children Morgan Lamb and Kendalyn Newman. Officers report a third arson BY TIFFANY CLARK Times Editor The members of Kountry Kids 4-H waved at the crowds.

LEFT: Mary Kay Hall takes a break from packing goody bags long enough to pose for the camera. Another act of arson was committed at the Lake Butler Lake in the female restroom facility. A trashcan inside the restroom was set on fire the evening of Nov. 29. The fire caused little damage to the facility, being that it is concrete, but the smell of smoke still lingers inside. There is a small amount of smoke damage noticeable on the ceiling and a large soot mark on the corner of the floor. This is the third act of arson committed in Union County within the last month. The fist fire was on Nov. 17. The fire was reported at the old Lake Butler wastewater facility located on Southwest 1 h Street. The old operator's office located at the facility was set on fire, leaving only half of the building intact. The second fire occurred on Nov. 20, at a house located on Southeast 5'h Avenue, next to the Union County Public Library. The back of the residence was severely damaged, leaving very little of the roof intact. A large amount of soot remains in the corner of the female restroom located at the Lake Butler lake. This act of arson is the third incident in Lake Butler within the last month. According to detectives with the Division of State Fire Marshal's Bureau of Fire and Arson Investigations and Fire Chief Mike Banks, all three fires were deliberately set. All three arson fires are under investigation. It is unknown at this time if the fires are linked. A reward is being offered to anyone with information leading to an arrest. If you have any information related to these incidents contact either Jerry Baker or David Young at 904-798-5804 or 1- 877-NO-ARSON. Heilbronn firefighters blaze trail to reach hunter injured in fall BY DAN HILDEBRAN StarkeJournal.com Editor Three Heilbron Springs fire/ rescue volunteers chainsawed their way one mile into a heav- ily wooded area Nov. 30, leading a party that rescued an injured hunter. The 74-year-old man fell ap- proximately 17 feet from a tree stand, and lay injured for around two hours while his hunting com- panion tried to get help. According to one rescue worker, the area where the man fell is close to the Bradford/ Union County line. When the friend tried to dial 911, he at first had no cell service. In sub- sequent attempts, he reached Union County, then Clay County dispatchers. He finally had to walk approximately one mile to his truck, and then drove to Northside Baptist Church, where he met Heilbron volunteers and medics from Starke. He then guided the rescuers from North- west C.R. 225, onto Northwest 212th Street, and through a se- ries of roads, gates, clearings and paths to within one mile of the tree stand. From there, the firefighters and medics loaded equipment and personnel into EMS Director Brian Johns' pickup, and contin- ued into the woods. Three Heil- bronn Springs volunteers: Chief Terry McCarthy, his son, 18- year-old Brandon.and Joel Haas, walked in front of the pickup with two chainsaws, clearing a path for the rescue party, while two paramedics trailed the truck on foot. The firefighters felled around six trees, approximately six inches in diameter to make way for the truck. Terry McCarthy said the patient was conscious, but in pain. EMS PIO Michael Heeder added the victim suffered non- life-threatening injuries, includ- ing back pain. After rescuers put the victim on a backboard, they loaded him in the back of Johns' pickup for the one-mile trip back to an am- bulance. Paramedics then transported the man to Orange Park Regional Medical Center. Big Red Drive needs your help...

The group will be having its winter show at the Bradford County fairgrounds through .Saturday, Dec. 10. The club began in 1986 down at the truck stop. in Waldo. There were about 20 members that first year, but it has grown to 140-150 mem- bers. The intent is to let peo- ple know how their ancestors worked with the equipment. Some of the machines are more than 100 years old. It's amazing to see how these ma- chines are still working after so long. Included in the list of many machines that will be at the fairgrounds is the 15 horse- power Reed oil field engine with twin five-foot flywheels. iThis engine is housed as a permanent display at the fair- grounds. There are others that are jut as interesting. This is an excellent way to have fun with the family and teach the younger generation about the history of farm life. There will be something for everyone. The club' would like to in- vite residents from Bradford, Union and Clay counties to come out and see what this liib is about. The show is small compared to some, but anyone who has an engine, tractor or farm-related equip- ment to exhibit or sell will.be welcome. Vendors are also welcome.

Many today portray baptism as something that is not essential for one to receive salvation. However, when one examines the Bible passages on the subject of baptism we find a completely different reality. Jesus says, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved" (Mark 16:16). According to Christ both belief and baptism are necessary for salvation. Peter said, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins" (Acts 2:38). Here we learn one has not received the remission of sins until they repent and are baptized. Peter-would later write, "There is also an antitype which now saves us baptism" (1 Peter 3:21). The Bible clearly teaches that baptism saves us. Hence, if we are going to be saved from our sins it is necessary that we are baptized.

WILL ROGERS 1879-1935 BD E E3 2011 ND eAo B Section Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011 FEATURES S* CRIME SOCIALS OBITUARIES m EDITORIAL' NEWS FROM BRADFORD COUNTY, UNION COUNTY AND THE LAKE REGION- Tigers' postseason ends with loss to Jefferson County Prince Alexander (right) gives chase to Jefferson County's Alphonso Footman., BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Union County's defense entered the game giving up an average of eight points a game, but it was Jefferson County's defense that made a statement, holding the Tigers to 73 yards and three first downs in :Jefferson's 27-6 win in a Class IA semifinal football game on Dec. 2 in Monticello. "They're clearly a better team than we are," Union head coach Ronny Pruitt said. "They beat us up front." Jefferson (8-5), which will now play Chipley for the Class IA championship, fell behind 3-0, but scored two touchdowns in a span of approximately four minutes to go up 14-3. Union (11-1) later added another Joaquin Lovo field goal that left the Tigers trailing by eight at the half, but the offense never mounted much of an attack against the home team. The Tigers, whose two red-zone opportunities were created by'a turnover and a 15- Union head coach Ronny Pruitt speaks with his players, including Kendall Wright, during a time out. yard penalty, rushed for 32 yards on 15 carries in the first half. Pruitt said Jefferson's speed had an effect on his offense, adding the team is fast in areas other teams don't normally have speed at. "They came across the line so fast," Pruitt said. "We had a hard time blocking them." Jefferson's brother tandem of running back Alphonso Footman and Lenorris .Footman combined for four touchdowns and more than 230 yards. Jefferson, which accumulated 18 first downs and close to 300 yards, has now outscored its three playoff opponents by a combined score of 121-25. It was a shaky start for the Jefferson offense, though, as Union's Daquin Edwards scooped up a fumble on the home team's first play from scrimmage. Edwards' 7-yard return set the Tigers up for first-and-goal at the 5. Union's first play from there, though, was a 1-yard loss by running back Walter Mabrey. Mabrey picked up 2 yards on second down, but the Tigers were flagged for holding on third down. After an incomplete pass on third down from the 14, Lovo connected on a 31-yard field goal for a 3-0 Union lead at the 7:39 mark of the opening quarter. Three straight carries by Alphonso Footman, who finished the game with 128 yards on 28 carries, moved Jefferson from its own 23 to' its 40 on the ensuing possession. Lenorris Footman then avoided a sack and heaved a pass downfield to Tre'veyon Edwards for a 42-yard gain to the Union 18. Runs of 3, 5 and 3 yards set Alphonso Footman up for a 7-yard touchdown run that put Jefferson up 6-3 with Running back Josh Tyson fights for yards against the Jefferson County defense. 4:01 to play in the first quarter. The PAT was no good. Momentum stayed on Jefferson's side when a fumbled exchange by the Tigers gave the ball back to the home team at the Union 37. Lenorris Footman was sacked for a 5-yard loss on the first play after the turnover, but Ladarian Smiley followed that up with a 15-yard run to pick up a first down. A personal foul penalty on Union helped move the ball to the 10, but a personal foul by Jefferson backed the home team up to the 19 for a second- and-19 play. A 12-yard reception by Edwards set up third down at the 7. Alphonso Footman had a 4-yard carry to the 3, forcing Jefferson to face a fourth-down play. Lenorris Footman hooked up with Revonte Robinson for a touchdown from there. Kenny Madison's run on the two- point conversion made it a 14- 3 game with 36 seconds left in the first quarter. Union's defense forced a three-and-out the next time Jefferson had the ball, with Greg Edwards breaking up a third-down pass attempt. A 29- yard punt gave the Tigers the ball at the Jefferson 41. A 6- yard run by Josh Tyson, coupled with a personal foul penalty, moved the Tigers to the 20, but they had to settle for Lovo's 34-yard field goal, which made the score 14-6 at the 7:47 mark of the second quarter. The home team seemed well on its way to a 65-yard scoring drive as running backs Robinson and Alphonso Footman refused to be brought down by initial contact. The two backs had 31 yards each on the drive, but Footman was held just shy of a first down on a third-and-4 play from the 6.

Sessions has spent this past ,year serving as one of 39 -lieutenant governors of the state-level club, dedicating herself to service and working :-for'the benefit of good causes. 1,,: She admitted, though, it still surprises her when she goes to a meeting and experiences the professionalism she and her colleagues display when following parliamentary procedure and passionately discussing potential projects. "While we.all act like adults, we're all still really goofy," Sessions said. "When we have our free time, we're all just teenagers. We're normal. "In the meetings, you would never guess that. You'd think we were all just little adults." The seeds of Sessions' role as lieutenant governor were planted, though, before she even reached her teen years as she was a member of Kiwanis clubs for elementary and middle school/junior high students-K-Kids at McRae Elementary School and then Builders Club at KHHS KHHS did not have a Key Club, a Kiwanis Club for high school students, so Sessions and several other students who were in Builders Club.with her helped charter one. The KHHS Key Club was chartered in September 2010. Not long after that, Sessions found herself serving at the state level. She attended a Key Club conference in January of this year at Palatka High School. Division 4, of which the KHHS Key Club is a member, was in need of a lieutenant governor. Sessions was approached by several people inquiring if anyone in the KHHS club would be interested in serving in such a capacity. Sessions said she wasn't even sure what a lieutenant governor was and thought to herself, "Not me. Not me." However, KHHS teacher Pam Wells, who is the school's Key Club adviser, thought it was a position Sessions would be good in. Sessions said Wells told her she had the leadership skills to do it.

Toys en route for Christmas Child Dear Editor: It is with great joy that I write again this year about Operation Christmas Child, an evangelistic ministry of Samaritan's Purse. A total of 3,126 shoeboxes came 'in to the Keystone Heights relay center for poor children around the woild! This high number in a poor economy reveals the love and sacrifice that is an integral part of our Lake Region. These simple gifts of small toys, school supplies and hy- "giene items are now en route to the countries of Panama, Baha- mas, Seychelles, Ukraine, Leba- non, Belize, Ecuador, Mace- donia, and the African countries of Benin, Kenya, Madagascar, Namibia, Tanzania, Togo and Uganda. My family served in the At- lanta Processing Center over Thanksgiving weekend where we helped to set a record of processing over 103,000 shoe boxes in a day for the countries, of Panama and Ukraine. A big thank you goes to eve- ryone who packed a shoebox or in some way helped to promote this ministry of compassion to impoverished children. This was my fifth year of act- ing as the Keystone Heights relay center coordinator. Once again, I was thrilled to see a giving response by so many in our community. Stores and res- taurants advertised with colorful posters. The Lake Region Monitor encouraged participa- tion through articles and photos. Beall's Outlet store donated countless numbers of empty shoeboxess to wrap and pack. Red. and green decorative OCC Sshoeboxes were offered at Bon- nie's Pizza, Hedrick's Hair Sa- -lon, Johnny's Barbecue and Mallard's Dollarama to fill. McDonald's donated 600 Happy Meal toys as fillers. The .Salvation Army donated color- ing books, crayons, stuffed la- -dybugs, transformable teddy bears, Barbie dolls and other small toys to multiple shoe- Sboxes. Ladies knitted hats to put in shoeboxes and men made wooden cars. Johnny's adver- tised Trinity Baptist Church as the relay center for shoebox drop-off on its sign. Friendship Bible Church informed people to pray for OCC during the Na- tional Moment of Prayer. Bryan's Ace Hardware and Elixson Wood Products.helped to transport 161 heavy cartons of shoeboxes to the Gainesville collection center. Forty-two volunteers served to collect, count and pack the shoeboxes at the relay center over an eight-day period. Rising to the top were the 26 churches, six civic groups, four schools and two families who sacrificed their time to pack the 3,126 shoeboxes. Considerate donors, you did an incredible job! You have made a difference in the lives of 3,126 boys and girls. Not enough thanks can be given to the Lake Region for your compassionate giving of shoeboxes. We have been the hands of Jesus in giving these 'beautiful, gifts. Pray for the children vho6 will receive our! "shebbxes Research shows that one shoebox touches the lives of 10 people!

That effort has served the district and its citizens well. As a diligent steward of tax- payer dollars, the district has tightened its belt, readjusted priorities, eliminated non-critical staff positions, sought outsourcing where it made sense, downsized or cut pro- grams that didn't meet our core mission principals, acquired funding through grants and part- nerships and generally found ways to do more with less. For example, this past year the district completed its water supply assessment study and designated four water resource caution areas in an effort to en- sure adequate groundwater re- sources to meet future demands for the next 20 years. The district embarked on a joint regional water supply plan with neighboring St. Johns River Water Management District to develop and implement a mini- mum flows and levels preven- tion and recovery strategy when withdrawals in one district con- tribute to water resource impacts in the other district. This landmark agreement is vital to successfully addressing future protection of our rivers, lakes, springs and natural sys- tems. We also strengthened our partnership with the state of Georgia, where roughly 55 per- cent of the Suwannee River Ba- sin is located. The district has accomplished much, but there is still so much left to do. Fiscal challenges will not dampen the district's deter- mination to "get the water right." Losing our springs and other precious water resources is not an option, and with the contin- ued support of the legislature and the Department of Envi- ronmental Protection, the district will continue to find innovative, cost-effective ways to meet the needs of its citizens while pro- tecting our environment. Donald Jt. Quincey Jr.. Chairman, Suwcnnee River Water Management District Governing Board There are still some Good Samaritans Dear Editor: There are still some Good Samaritans! On Nov. 23, 1 discovered that there are still people who are compassionate and willing to go out of their way to help. Some- time around 4:15 p.m., a me- dium-size, brownish/reddish dog was hit by a car near Madison Street Baptist Church on S.R. 100. From the information I received through a phone call, he was hit and trying to get up, and he had a friend with him. I just happened to be at the lo- cal dog shelter picking up pic- tures of all the dogs and cats presently in our shelter so that I could send them out to rescue groups when the call came in. I volunteered to go to the scene to check out what was happening (knowing that this close to a holiday that it might take some time for the request to go through the proper channels) and left with these wise words ot wisdom ringing in my ears- "Don't get bit." As I drove to the site, I hon- estly was hoping that I wouldn't find the dog alive. I knew if I did find the dog alive, but hurt, that I was going to throw my carefully planned evening and holiday out the window with a visit to a veterinarian some- where. As I drove up, there were two other cars pulled to the side of the road with two people stand- ing by the dog and one young woman crying in a car. The story I pieced together was that the dog was struck by a vehicle that sped up and left the scene after it hit the dog.. A mother was there because her daughter was upset by what she saw and the young man that was there had pulled the dog from he road to the sidewalk and ife dog was dead. They stayed until they were sure that he was going to be taken care of. I am not sure that I thanked these Good Samaritans for their compassion and willingness to stop their cars and help a wounded animal. So I want to say it now-thank you! I wish there were more like you. The world would be a better place. This beautiful dog was buried in a backyard in the neighbor- hood. I took a picture of him in case I found his owner and we tried to handle him as carefully and humanely as we could. As we dug the hole to bury him, we wondered who he belonged to, why he was out so that he could get hit by a car, whether some- one was even going to miss him. We may never know the an- swers to these questions, but we do know that he was cared for at the end. If you think he is your dog, give me a call at 904-263-8099 and I will be happy to show you a picture so that you can have closure. The story of this unfortunate dog is a good reminder to allfof us not to lose track of our pets. As we celebrate this holiday season, let us reevaluate how x e take care of our pets. I.et's re- dedicate ourselves to involving them in our lives and caring for them as they should be cared for. The rewards will be price- less. Tracv C. George Founder/President, Support- ers of Sheltered Animals Inc. There are many in this old world of ours who hold that things break about even for all of us.

Pediatric Associates at Argyle, P.A.- Starke Basketball legend Laettner works with players at NCA BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Being on the same court with Duke University great Christian Laettner may sound like a dream, but the U.S. Olympic "Dream Team" member made that a reality for players at Hope Christian Academy, Northside Christian .Academy and the other schools that make up the Southeastern Christian Conference. :.Laettner conducted skills .-clinics for boys and girls as .part of the Southeastern Christian Conference preseason jamboree that was held at Starke's Northside .Christian Dec. 2-3. "It's still fairly unreal for us to have someone like Christian come," Northside Principal Toby Roehm said in the midst of the Dec. 3 activities. "Just the possibility of him coming was preat " Roehm said Chris Walls, the principal of Beaches Chapel School in Jacksonville, mentioned he might be able to get Laettner to come and work with the players. Laettner, who lives in Ponte Vedra, had done some work with the Beaches Chapel programs in the past. Beaches Chapel's girls' team won the conference championship last year, while the boys' team was runner-up. Sean Hanson of Northside tries to rip the ball from Christian Laettner's grasp. Therefore, the chance to watch Laettner working with the players was an opportunity for the rest of the Southeastern Christian Conference coaches. "Really, we've seen the dividends., it has paid at Beaches Chapel," Roehm said. "I know as far as Northside is concerned, we definitely plan to take advantage of all that (Laettner) has offered. Hopefully, that will improve our basketball (program)." Laettner, who conducts player and coaching clinics as part of his basketball academy, said he enjoys working with youth. It helps fill a hole in his life that came with the end of his playing career-though he is a part-time member of the ABA Jacksonville Giants- and feels like anything but work. "It's easy for me to go out there and help the kids and give them some suggestions," Laettner said. "It's a lot of fun." During the boys' clinic, Laettner, who is a few inches shy of 7 feet, was mixing it up with the players during a drill. Northside player Sean Hanson was faced with the task of trying to rip the ball from Laettner's grasp, while Hope player Andre Canady had to contend with Laettner's large frame as he drove to the basket for a layup attempt. "I do like to goof around with them and treat them rough once in a while," Laettner said. Roehm was of course thrilled to have Laettner work with the kids, but as you might imagine, the kids had no clue who Laettner was, Roehm said. Laettner said that's usually the case with any young people he works with, but in this day and age, they can easily find out who he is. "Because of the wonderful Internet, they can go Google it or YouTube it, and it shows them real fast," Laettner said. "When March Madness rolls around and all these little kids are watching, they'll see my highlight." That highlight, of course, is the turn-around jump shot he sank before the buzzer of a 104-103 overtime victory over Kentucky in the 1992 East Regional final. It has become an iconic image of March Madness and is looked upon fondly by Laettner so many years later. "It means a lot," Laettner Hope's Caleb Jones won the free-throw contest. Joe Moore of Hope Christian has his work cut out for him as he tries to move the ball past Christian Laettner. said of being involved in such a play. "It's not a bad thing to happen to a guy. I love it, even if I'm real quiet about it and don't mention it to my kids." Laettner played in four straight Final Fours at Duke and was a member of two straight national championship teams. He was the only college player selected for the original Dream Team and was selected third overall in the 1992 NBA draft. He played 13 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2005. It's hard to single out one career highlight from among so many, Laettner said, though he did say, "The thing I'm probably the most proud of is the first championship at Duke. You try to get good at basketball so you can win a championship. The first one is a really good feeling." Christian Laettner demonstrates how he wants players to pass the ball from one hand to the other between their legs as Northside Christian's Dustin Elder looks on. NO INTEREST FINANCING A AVAILABLE!

"(Wells) said, 'Just run for it, and you'll learn later.'" Wells wasn't the only one who encouraged Sessions to take the position. "I had a bunch of people from all over the state who were there and other lieutenant -governors 6f the past telling ime, 'It's like the most fun thing you could ever do. Colleges love it, and you really get a chance to serve.' That kind of pushed me to do it," :Sessions said. : She gave a speech on why she thought she would be a good leader in the community, and then was voted into the ,position. Since then, she has ;given more speeches, including talking to her adult :peers at Kiwanis Club meetings in the area. It has helped her hone her public-speaking skills. "The first one I did, I went .to Lake City Kiwanis," Sessions said. "I had no idea what I was supposed to speak on. They asked me to be a guest speaker. I was like, 'Oh, my goodness.' "Basically, I just tried to instill in them the values Key Club has and that we really wanted to work with them, because that's a really big goal of.Key Club this year." Besides speaking to Kiwanis clubs, Sessions has attended a number of Florida Key Club board meetings, attended the Florida Key Club district convention in May and participated in leadership training conferences. It makes for a whirlwind schedule for Sessions, who is also involved in cheerleading and weightlifting at KHHS. She said it sometimes seems like she's attending some Key Club/Kiwanis function every other day. "Every once in a while, it gets a little bit crazy, and my mom has to remind me to breathe," Sessions said. "It's something I love. I love having ,important things to do and always having a task to do. "Even though it's a little crazy, and sometimes I get overwhelmed, it's worth it." Interactiii'g'Wifi fdllow teens from thfio-~d Qh'th- state has* - been a joy, but what Sessions really loves is doing something to help others. That's why she takes great pride in the Kiwanis International/UNICEF Eliminate Project, which is raising money to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus around the world. "I'm encouraging all my ' (Division 4) clubs to raise $250 for the cause," Sessions said. Sessions is selling Eliminate Project T-shirts, saying that each shirt sold saves five lives. She planned a recent bowling fundraiser in conjunction with a division council meeting in which $1 per game played went toward the Eliminate Project, while she and her fellow KHHS Key Club Members trick or treated for small monetary donations this past Halloween. "We're trying to find fun ways to raise money," Sessions said. It was her experience in K- Kids, stuffing Christmas stockings for needy children and taking part in other service activities, that helped foster her desire to help others, Sessions said. "I guess when I was really *S ) J'^^^^-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^- Indians, Raiders tie for second time in soccer BY CLIFF SMELLEY Regional News/Sports Editor Trina Sessions (foreground) speaks at a division council meetinca. young-third or fourth grade-was when I really started to realize that there are kids who actually need help. They need toys for Christmas," Sessions said. "I started to realize that no matter where you are in life, there's always someone who has it worse off, who needs your help. "That's what really inspired me." Sometimes it's hard to find the time to remain involved in the Key Club at KHHS when she's busy in Key Club at the state level, but Sessions said she does what she can. Her school club is her passion, she said, and she has goals for the club before she graduates. "I would really love to see 100 -members-to hit triple digits, and 'hopefully have a majority of them be active members and not just paid members," Sessions said. "I think that would be amazing. The more people you have serving, the more you can do." As for the rest of her tenure as lieutenant governor, Sessions said one of the things she is looking forward to is next year's district convention at which the lieutenant governors will play an important role. "All the lieutenant governors are in charge of setting up, writing the maunscripts and being in charge of pretty much all the things you'd think adults would be in charge of," Sessions said. "I'm really interested to see how that all works out and to see what all I can help with." Teenagers performing adult duties and acting like adults when it comes to conducting meetings-it has made an impression on Sessions. It is, however, simply the continuation of a growth process that began in K-Kids and one that will most likely continue after she graduates from high school. Sessions anticipates being a part of Kiwanis' college organization-Circle K International-and then as part of a Kiwanis Club itself somewhere. "I'm pretty much a Kiwanian for life," Sessions said. If you would like to help Sessions in her fundraising efforts for the Eliminate Project or purchase an Eliminate Project T-shirt, please email her at division4@floridakeyclub. com.

He harvested the deer with his .243 on a private hunt club in Troy, Ala. Logan Tomlinson, 9, killed his first deer-a 6-point buck-on Dec. 5 on Little Hell Hunting Club. He shot the deer with a .243 rifle and dropped it while riding through the woods with his father. TIGERS Continued from Page 1B Jefferson's Lenorris Footman was then stopped short on a fourth-down sneak as Union's defense kept it an eight-point game. Jeffersdn threatened to score again in the first half, but Union's Tyson intercepted a pass in the end zone. Pruitt said he felt good about being within eight points at the half, but a costly mistake after the break helped Jefferson add seven points to its lead. Jefferson received the second-half kickoff and drove past midfield, but Carl Alexander's 6-yard sack forced the home team to punt. The Jefferson punter bobbled the snap, but managed to get a kick off. The punt, which bounced backward from where it hit the ground, touched a Union player. Jefferson recovered the ball at the 30. Pruitt said he didn't think the player in question touched the ball. "(The officials) said he did," Pruitt said. "I don't know. I didn't think he did, but it is what it is." The end result was a 14-yard touchdown run by Alphonso Footman with 5:12 to play in the third quarter. The PAT put Jefferson up 21-6. Union came close to picking up its second first down of the game on its first series of the second half, but Mabrey was held to no gain on a third-and- 2 play. The Tigers went for the first down on fourth down, but .quarterback Austin Harden's pass was incomplete, giving Jefferson the ball at the Union 45. Alphonso Footman had Jefferson on the move again with runs of 5 and 9 yards to help his team move to the 20. Union's Alexander planted Footman for a I-yard loss on a first-down play from there, but the next play saw Edwards take a screen pass from Lenorris Footman and score to put Jefferson up 27-6 10 seconds into the final quarter. The PAT was no good. Lenorris 'Footman finished the game 7-of-10 for approximately 100 yards. The Tigers picked up two first downs on the ensuing drive, though one was the result of another personal foul penalty on Jefferson. The only first down the Union offense actually earned was a 5-yard pass from Harden to Dylan Clark, which put the Tigers at the Jefferson 35-yard line. Harden, who finished the game 1l-of-19 for 42 yards, completed seven passes on the .drive, but his 4-yard pass to Mabrey on a fourth-down play left the Tigers 2 yards shy of a first down at the 19-yard line. Pruitt said he felt bad for this year's seniors, who helped the team improve from a 5-5 season in 2010 to an undefeated regular season this year and to within one win of playing for it all. "They have been such good leaders, especially to these younger guys," Pruitt said. "They laid their hearts out on this field. I'm proud of them. I can honestly say in all my years of coaching, I've never been so proud of a team than I am with this group of kids." / Quarterback Austin Harden looks for an open receiver downfield. Harden finished the game with 11 completions. Holiday fun at WinterFEST! Fin exlusivevacion JaCksonville's annual Winter on the Water celebration ]* li isback.
