She won an award in el- ementary school for her poem about a polar bear. “Writing was an escape when I was a child, as I had a rather tumultuous child- hood,” Brunskill says. Brunskill continued to write through her childhood and teen- age years. She met her husband in college and through his in- volvement with a band started writing music reviews and in- terviews. Her first interview was with the late punk rocker Joey Ramone.

However, Lara is far braver than I am. Also, my find had nothing to do with any historic statues. Lara’s search is wrapped up in our Waving Girl’s story. It was an emotional release in that I could share what it feels like to see a stranger in the mirror. Adoptees have no source to pin them- selves to. They don’t see resem- blance.

Busy as a mother and marketing copy writer, she had to squeeze in time to write her novel. “I wrote while waiting in line to pick up my daughter from school, in front of the Wav- ing Girl statue and even in the lobby of the Marriott Riverfront Hotel,” Brunskill says. “It was a hot mess when I finished it. I spent the next three years rewriting it.” Brunskill says she’s always dreamed of writ- ing a novel and describes it as a labor of love in that it shares some of the be- liefs she holds dear. An avid supporter of adopt- ed rights, she recognizes the search process for many adoptees is daunt- ing and necessary to feel whole. The novel also gives Brunskill a chance to showcase her adopted city of Savannah. “Savannah’s a beau- tiful, stunning city,” Brunskill says. “My novel offers a tour of Savannah in which you don’t even have to break a sweat. I adore Savannah’s history and wanted to share that love with the world.” As to the title of her book, Brunskill says it’s inspired by the natural tendency of people to look back at their roots and ancestors. “You learn a lot about yourself as a person by looking back,” says Brunskill, noting that her novel will appeal to anyone who likes a mystery and coming of age story.

_________________________________Continued on page A3
Looking forward to the Re-publican debate Thursday night, but let me point this out first. This primary season has been hijacked by a wealthy egomaniac with no record of real accom-plishment who is running for President as a narcissistic vanity project... but enough about Hill-ary Clinton. (Thanks to cartoonist Bob Gorell!)
...Congratulations to CNN’s Jake Tapper for asking White House Spokesmoron Josh Earnest about the recent Planned Parent-hood videos. His pointed ques-tion was why the White House would go overboard in defending them when they haven’t even had anybody in the White House actually watch them! Earnest admitted the videos were shocking, and he implied that they’d been “edited to gross-ly distort the position and the policies of Planned Parenthood.” I guess no one’s told him that the entire content of each of the five videos can be seen online. The videos of abortion doctors negotiating the sale of aborted fetus body parts is the most disgusting thing any person can watch. The fifth one includes scenes that would not be allowed in the most horrific horror movie ever shown on the big screen. On Monday, only two Democrats voted to shift Planned Parenthood’s federal funding to other organizations that could use the money for real women’s
health issues, like mammograms that Planned Parenthood doesn’t perform. Hillary Clinton actu-ally ran an ad claiming that the Republicans’ attempt to defund Planned Parenthood was a “full-n assault on women’s health!” Just last year, Planned Parent-hood performed over 325,000 abortions. The style of many of those abortions was modified to get complete baby parts, which is illegal. Illegal partial birth abor-tions were also committed to get complete limbs and organs from the fetuses. Most editorials I’ve read on this issue compare Planned Parenthood to the Nazis and to the inhuman experiments that Dr. Josef Mengele performed on Jews at Auschwitz. And the reac-tion of the Democrat Party and of most of the mainstream media is just like that of the German people who claimed they had no idea what was going on in the concentration camps. Well, now we have gruesome video of some-thing more horrible... infanticide. How can we stand by and not only allow this to continue, but allow our federal tax dollars to fund this evil by sending over a half a billion dollars to Planned Parenthood?
...Do unborn black lives mat-ter? Did you know that 78% of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in minority communi-ties? Did you realize that blacks make up only 12% of America’s population, but account for 35% of Planned Parenthood’s abor-tions? Even without going into the history of Planned Parent-hood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, and her racist hatred of black people, doesn’t this seem like genocide?
...Obviously what we need now is a video named Cecil the Fetus!
...My Italian American friend is very self-conscious about his height, or lack thereof. So I always steer clear of the subject. One day, he and I went to lunch at a Sub shop. “I’ll take the Italian,” he said to the guy behind the counter. “Salami, Provolone, and peppers.” Do you want a full hero or half one?” came the reply. “Ah... gimme a half,” my friend says. After placing our orders, we took our seats. A few minutes later, my friend grimaced when we heard... “Small Italian, your order is up!”
...Things I learned while looking up other things... • Trying to shoot an armadillo, Larry McElroy’s bullet ricocheted off the animal, hit a fence, and entered his mother-in-law’s mobile home in Lee County, Georgia, shooting her through her chair. (At least, that’s how he explained it to the Police!)• Medieval kings had a royal bottom wiper on call. He was known as the “Groom of the stool.” (Don’t you know his father was proud!)
...A young Arkansas lad goes off to college. Half way through the semester, having foolishly squandered all of his money on his girlfriend, he calls home. “Dad,” he says, “You won’t believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here at Hendrix that will teach our dog, Ole’ Blue how to talk!” “That’s amazing,” his Dad says. “How do I get Ole’ Blue in that program?” “Just send him over here with $1,000” the young Arkie says “and I’ll get him in the course.” So, his Father sends the dog and $1,000. About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home. “So how’s Ole’ Blue do-ing son?” his Father asks. “Awesome, Dad, he’s talking up a storm,” he says, “but you just won’t believe this -- they’ve had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!” “Read!?” says his Father, “No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?” “Just send $2,500, I’ll get him in the class.” The money promptly arrives. The Arkie and his girlfriend are
able to buy enough marijuana to last the whole semester. But our hero has a problem. At the end of the year, his Father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read. Even though he was always pretty much able to lie his way out of trouble, the Arkie asked his girlfriend to help him think of a really good lie to tell his Dad. She very quickly came up with a plan for him. So she has him shoot the dog. When he arrives home at the end of the year, his Father is all excited. “Where’s Ole’ Blue? I just can’t wait to see him read something and talk!” “Dad,” the boy says, “I have some grim news. Yesterday morn-ing, just before we left to drive home, Ole’ Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does. Then Ole’ Blue turned to me and asked, ‘So, is your Daddy still messing around with that little redhead who lives down the street?’” The Father went white and exclaimed, “I hope you shot that lying dog before he talks to your Mother!” “I sure did, Dad!” “That’s my boy!” The kid married his girl-friend, and they both went on to law school in Fayetteville. He be-came Governor of Arkansas and President of the United States, then she was appointed Secretary of State and is now running for President.
...Bernie Sanders, not even a Democrat but an avowed Social-ist, is now tied with Hillary in New Hampshire polls in the race to be the Democrat nominee for 2016. The Democrats put all their eggs in one basket with Hillary Clinton. Now, with Hill-ary dropping in the polls like a pair of concrete water skis, Joe Biden, the basket case, is about to jump in the race. Wonder how Sanders will fare against Crazy Joe...
...One more reason I don’t want to see Donald Trump suc-ceed... From the Washington Post... Bill Clinton called Trump before he announced his run for the Presidency, and encour-aged him to play a bigger role in Republican politics during this Presidential campaign.
...I think I’m beginning to un-derstand why Obama wants Iran developing nuclear power. He’s taken steps now to force power companies to convert to wind and solar energies for producing electricity. Maybe he thinks we’ll be able to import electricity from Iran’s nuclear bombs... er... power stations?
...Finally, in last week’s Chain Baseball article, we said that Mi-chael Hargis, the academy’s op-erations manager, stated that the city and county don’t promote baseball as much as soccer and football. We further quoted him as saying they don’t care about baseball and don’t put the budget into it. We should have pointed out that these are his views and are not those of Chain Baseball. The Spirit Newspaper supports Chain Baseball and recognizes and ap-plauds its role in helping develop young men on and off the field. We were proud to cite their many positive accomplishment in last week’s article and in this column last week.
...If your business needs more customers, I’d love an opportuni-ty to show you how cost effective advertising in The Spirit is for small businesses!
...I love my Pastor, love my church family, and would love to have you join us Sunday morning at 11am... Ardsley Park Baptist Church, at the corner of Bull and 56th Streets in Savannah! Oh... and Sunday School starts around 9:45am!
...“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice!”
...Take care this week, stay safe, and in the words of the great Red Skelton, “May God Bless.”
... God had only one son, and He was a missionary. -David Liv-ingstone

of Lara, according to her creator. “The character Lara tells me she would like to do a bit more trav-eling,” she says. “There will be a sequel.” Brunskill adds that she’s also planning a rock mem-oir about the decade she spent interviewing national bands and has a “ton of funny stories and interviews to share from that pe-riod of time.” Most of her writing income still comes from non-fiction, but Brunskill’s true passion with the written word lies with Lara, the Waving Girl and their ilk. “I prefer writing fiction be-cause it is all imagined and while there are style rules, they are no-where as stringent as journalism writing rules,” Brunskill says. “As a novelist, I have a bit more freedom of expression.” Brunskill will sign copies of her book Saturday, Sept. 19th from 2-4 pm at E Shaver Book-seller in Savannah and Saturday, Oct. 17th from noon-3 p.m. at the Cadre Shop in Richmond Hill.

Morgan Rushing and Sophie Usher are among 10 students statewide to receive a 2015 Georgia Farm Bureau Scholar-ship for Agriculture. Rushing, a 2015 graduate of South Effingham High School (SEHS), is the daughter of Pat and Suzanne Rushing of Guy-ton. Usher, a 2015 graduate of Effingham County High School (ECHS), is the daughter of Tim-othy and Holly Usher of Clyo. Both were among the seven stu-dents statewide to receive a $750 scholarship each. An additional three students received scholar-ships of $3,000 each. The scholarships, intended to recognize and assist deserving and outstanding young people pursuing college degrees in agri-culture and related fields, are for students who plan to enroll in a unit of the University System of Georgia or Berry College for the 2014-2015 academic year. “Based on the quality ap-plications Georgia Farm Bureau received for our scholarship pro-gram, I’m confident in saying the future of Georgia agriculture looks bright. Our judges had a tough time selecting the top ten finalists and top three scholar-ship recipients from the 143 outstanding applications we re-ceived,” said GFB Zippy Duvall. “These students are the future leaders of Georgia agriculture, and Georgia Farm Bureau is glad to help them prepare for this role by offering these scholarships.” Rushing plans to enter the University of Georgia this fall and pursue a degree in animal science. She has been a member of the SEHS FFA since 2011 dur-ing which time she has served as her chapter president, secretary and reporter.

NakedTruth Is...
We Sell Chevrolets For Less!
Neither did the Nazis. To be sure, in CMP’s fourth video release, investigators re-veal “undercover footage [that] shows Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ Vice President and Medical Director, Dr. Savita Ginde, negotiating a fetal body parts deal, agreeing multiple times to illicit pricing per body part harvested, and suggesting ways to avoid legal consequences.” “When the actors request intact fetal specimens,” contin-ues CMP, “Ginde reveals that
in PPRM’s abortion practice, ‘Sometimes, if we get, if some-one delivers before we get to see them for a procedure, then we are intact.’” Yes, you read that right. This is a high-ranking Planned Par-enthood offi cial admitting that they “sometimes” deliver live babies, murder them and then sell their “intact” bodies for “medical research.” “It’s a baby,” Ginde admits to the undercover investigators while pointing at various body parts on a tray. “And another boy!” jokes her medical assistant. This is a holocaust no less
real, no less evil than that per-petrated by the Nazi regime. We’ve simply moved from the gas chambers to the abortion chamber – from Auschwitz to Planned Parenthood. To live under Roe v. Wade is to live in shame. To live under pro-abortion leadership is to live under the Fourth Reich. Whereas the Nazis were responsible for the wholesale murder of more than 6 million Jews, those today who support the practice of abortion homi-cide are no less complicit in the systematic slaughter of 55-mil-lion-and-counting equally pre-cious human beings post Roe v.
Wade. The parallels are undeni-able and the science unequivo-cal. Murder is murder whatever stage of development the hu-man victim. Dietrich Bonhoeff er was a German pastor who famously faced the gallows for his eff orts to end the Nazi holocaust and assassinate Adolf Hitler. He was likewise an outspoken abortion opponent and pro-life advocate. “Destruction of the embryo in the mother’s womb is a vio-lation of the right to live which God has bestowed upon this na-scent life,” he once wrote. “To raise the question whether we are here concerned already with a human being or not is merely to confuse the is-sue. The simple fact is that God certainly intended to create a
human being and that this na-scent human being has been deliberately deprived of his life. And that is nothing but mur-der,” he concluded. Indeed, Psalm 139:13 says, “For you created my inmost be-ing; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.” If pro-life advocates like those at CMP are modern-day Dietrich Bonhoeff ers, and they are, then what does that make abortion supporters and provid-ers? In the years leading up to and during World War II, many Germans who were otherwise generally good people suc-cumbed to Nazi propaganda and acquiesced to the horrifi c Jewish persecution that escalat-ed from a slow boil to a red-hot torrent around them. In eff ect, they bought into exactly the same kind of dehumanizing, eu-phemistic, semantical garbage embraced by those who today call themselves “pro-choice.” In the heart of Washing-ton D.C. sits the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum. Someday, Lord willing, there will be an Abortion Holocaust Museum nearby, and on that day people will walk through it and experience the same sense of shame, sadness and disgust felt by those who today visit the Nazi Holocaust Museum. There remains good and evil in the world. Hitler, Josef Mengele, Nazis and Nazi supporters were evil. Cecile Richards, Savita Ginde, Planned Parenthood and its “pro-choice” supporters are evil. They are one and the same. If you consider yourself “pro-choice,” you are woefully deceived. As did many of the German people before you, you support mass murder. You em-brace a culture of death. History will not treat you well. Repent now and join the culture of life. If you are an individual sup-porter or corporate sponsor of Planned Parenthood, then shame on you. Stop! You are helping to fi nance this holo-caust. The blood of millions of innocents is on your head. If you are an elected offi cial, no more excuses. Immediately withholding all taxpayer fund-ing to Planned Parenthood is a no-brainer, but it’s only the be-ginning. These crimes against humanity must cease, and Planned Parenthood offi cials must be thoroughly investigat-ed and, where supported by the weight of the evidence, pros-ecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This is your Nuremberg, Planned Parenthood. Matt Barber is an attorney concentrating in constitutional law.

Life • Health • Retirement215 W. Collins Street • Pooler
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgat-ing woman immediately hit her horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer
was waiting with her personal effects. He said, “I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, waving your fist at the guy off in front of you, and swearing at him. I noticed the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘What Would Jesus Do” bumper sticker, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday School’ bumper sticker and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car.” Ouch! We are often eager to communicate our faith by putting cute little bumper stick-ers on our cars or by wearing jewelry that contains Christian imagery. And there’s nothing wrong with that unless we think that the bumper sticker and jew-elry can serve as a substitute for actually living a Christ-like life. Few people will be converted by a bumper sticker. But people WILL be impacted (and per-
haps eventually changed) by a lifestyle that seeks to put God’s Word into practice. And, just as surely, people will be repulsed by a religion that allows the hypoc-risy of talking about God with-out the desire to live for God. “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but
has no deeds? Can such faith save him?.....But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’Show me your faith without
deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.”
(James 2:14,18)
May Christ shine through you in what you do and what you say today (whether you have a bumper sticker or not). Have a great day!

We The PeopleThe View From Up Here Incorporated
President of the United States of America, this is a subject citizens should pay more attention to. Since WWII this nation has been in a steady decline. The government no long respects the hardworking citizens who are paying taxes to keep this country going.
The 4th Amendment of the Constitution states “we the people are to be secured in our papers and pos-session”. Our property is taken for property taxes. Our air and water are being polluted by industry that the government is allowing to do this. Our number one resource which is our men and women are being used to police the world and are being killed and maimed.
Some politicians tell us when they are running for office that we are number one then when they are elect-ed they treat us like number two. Our national debt is sky rocking! There is global conflict everywhere even here in the USA. Are we really satisfied with the status quo? The hardworking citizens are asked or told to do the minable task but when it comes to having a say in our government, we are only allowed to vote for those wealthy candidates that are picked out for us!
The election rules are rigged to limit the President of the USA to those that are rich. Isn’t it time that we the people change all of this. Don’t you think it is time to stand our ground for what is the birth right of every US citizen. Just one person can’t afford to run for President, but with the support of hard working Americans anything is possible. I’m asking you to think about the Republican debates this past Thursday. Do we really have a viable candidate?
The candidates keep mentioning the middle class. If there is a middle class then there is an upper class and a lower class. Obviously, these upper candidates are trying to create a cast system in this country. It is my opinion that “we the people” of the United States of America are all equal, there is no cast system in the USA. I was inducted in the armed forces in 1944 to help prevent just such a thing from happening.
I don’t drink or smoke but with the kind of people we are electing to office it’s becoming harder and harder not to. I took at general technology test when I was 20 and needed a score of 108 to go to officer’s candidate school, my score was 116. I have the intelligence to know how the job of President should be handled. So at age 89, do I need to step up and run for office?
One of our politicians, Eric Johnson, was running for governor, against Nathan Deal. He said, “if we do away with property taxes, the government would lose control of the people.” This is a prime example of what “we the people” do not need.
Hillary Clinton was questioned about Benghazi and she said, “at this point, what difference does it make?” Yet, practically the whole line up of republican and democratic candidates are on this same level of thinking.
Trump said that he wants to build a fence on the border. This has already been tried. I believe that we all have seen people climbing the fence that has already been built. All of these candidates are doing one thing, praying the American voters are too ignorant to question their stance. I can assure these candidates that the average US citizen is not ignorant or stupid.
What we need in a President is someone to lead us out of this mess that these rich people have gotten us into. How do you think that they got rich? There are approximately 315 million people in the USA. There are approximately 125 million registered voters in the USA. It is not how much money one of us has, but a few dollars from each of us “lower and middle class” citizens that can make a difference. Together we can change this Presidential race.
The USA is made up of every ethnic group and nationality from every point on this globe. That is what makes this country so great. We are a unique group of people. I have had my DNA done and I’m a living ex-ample of this mixing. “We the people” of the United States are made up of the best of the best. I know because a lot of you are my friends. Thanks!
In 1996 I was involved with a group that filed a suit against the EPA. Judge Marvin Schoob issued a court order, in that suit, demanding that EPA make EPD do their job. It never happened. If you don’t believe me look it up for yourself. I have a copy of the Clean Water Act and I can assure you that EPD is still not doing their job. Industry is supposed to use the Best Available Technology “BAT”. But they don’t. One sure way to control this problem is for one of us to run for President and issue an executive order! EPA was created in 1970 by President Nixon, by executive order.
I started getting involved in environmental issues in 1988. In 1989, a good friend and I started a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the Ogeechee River called The Ogeechee River Valley Association. So you can see that I’m serious about protecting our environment.
A few months back, I made a statement in Judge Robbie Turner’s court room, under oath, that there were three documents that I hold in the highest regards. They were the Holy Bible, the US Constitution and my Marriage License. The Holy Bible is absolute. It does not need changing. The same holds for my Marriage li-cense. The US constitution on the other hand, needs a little tweaking. It is a work in progress.
In a true democracy every person is entitled to the same protection of the laws, just as it says in the 14th Amendment. Nothing is said about how much money you have. Also, there is this thing about people sitting in judgment of the people that are not elected by the people. This is not how the government should work. That is all laid out in our US Constitution and Federal laws.
I am exploring the possibility of forming an exploratory committee to help identify the best Presidential candidate for 2016. Do you think that this coun-try is not working right? If you the people think it is time to form a committee, then I am ready. If there are enough of us that think that we have been exploited enough, then stand up and be counted. Now is the time for all of us to be emanci-pated. Our future depends on citizens making the right choice in 2016. It is time for, “Of the people, by the people and for the people”, to mean just that.
I am the president of three corporations. I believe that I have one of the best reputations around and I would like to lend my support to forming this commit-tee. This way we can investigate the best candidate for President of the USA and support that candidate. Surely there is a candidate that would like to run on the peoples agenda. Otherwise, I may have to run Myself!

Back in May, Alexis Mercer wrapped up her college softball career at Armstrong State Univer-sity with an armload of honors. The Rincon native was named a second-team All-American by the NFCA, 2015 NFCA Division II All-Southeast Region first team, 2015 Daktronics Inc./Division II CCA Softball All-Southeast Region second team and 2015 Peach Belt All-Conference Soft-ball first team. During her senior campaign, she became the Peach Belt Con-ference’s (PBC) all-time home run leader this season with 60 career homers. Mercer ended the year hitting .418 with 14 home runs, 41 runs batted in, 23 stolen bases and drew 41 walks. As a freshman at ASU, Mer-cer started 40 games and hit .291 with nine doubles, seven home runs and 36 RBI. In 2013, during her sophomore year, she started all 55 games and was named the 2013 Peach Belt Confer-ence Player of the Year. She also earned second-team NFCA and Daktronics/CoSIDA All-Region honors. For the season, she hit .339 with eight doubles, 13 home runs and 44 RBI. She ranked sec-ond in the PBC in home runs, fourth in total bases (109), sixth in slugging percentage (.637) and seventh in on-base percent-age (.438).
As a junior, Mercer Started 47 games for the Pirates and was named the 2014 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year, earned NFCA Division II and Daktronics/CoSIDA First-Team All-American honors, earned first-team All-Peach Belt Confer-ence and NFCA and Daktronics/CoSIDA All-Southeast Region honors and was voted the 2014 Daktronics/CoSIDA Southeast Region Player of the Year. She hit .434 with a school- and PBC single season-record 26 home runs and 55 RBI. She earned NCAA Softball World Se-ries All-Tournament Team hon-ors for clubbing a record four home runs at the tournament, led NCAA Division II in home runs per game, ranked second in slugging percentage (1.098) and tied for second in total home runs. She also ranked 10th in on-base percentage and led the PBC in walks, RBIs, doubles and runs scored while ranking second in batting average. Even though she earned All-American honors, Alexis was not totally satisfied but at the same time was thankful. It feels good. I was a little dis-appointed with my performance my senior year. I got 2nd team All-American, and my junior year I got 1st team All American. It would have been nice to have been a 1st team All American both years but I can’t complain. I
gave it all I had 110% of the time and I am more than thankful to be named an All-American. God gets all the glory for that, and so much more. I am thankful to have even had the opportunity to step foot on a college field and live out my dream of being a col-lege athlete. It flew by too fast.” On game days, Alexis had a pre-game ritual. “Every season I always had a specific teammate braid my hair before every game, another teammate do my eye-black and another teammate put my bow in my hair. Nothing too crazy but it was something I did before every game.” When college careers are over, most athletes are forced to re-enter mainstream society and sometimes that means just being a fan. Mercer says she has no com-plaints about her transition from being student athlete. “So far it’s going great,” she says. “I am giving hitting les-
sons weekly as well as helping coach my old high school softball team.” She went on to add “I’m also really big into fitness- I love working out. I’m actually do-ing a “figure competition” at the end of August so I have been on about 12 week long prep- which includes a strict diet which is the toughest part for me but I am adapting well.” One piece of interesting trivia that many people don’t know is that Alexis’ first name is Savan-nah. “Everyone thinks my first name is Alexis because that’s what I have went by my entire life.” When asked how did her parents came up with the name Savannah she responded “I’m not sure why. I’m assuming my parents loved Alexis a little bit more than Savannah. And I’m also assuming they came up with Savannah because of the city but

told her he’d be back to sell her more meat. After the man left, she plugged his name into her com-puter’s search engine. The first site that popped up was the Florida Sexual Offenders site, and it showed that the man is a convicted sex offender from Jacksonville. As the Deputy was leaving the woman’s home, an-other neighbor approached and told him she’d also bought some meat from the man. He’d told her he has several other clients in the neighborhood, and that he’s been doing this for 13 years. The Deputy noted that this sub-division is very close to a local Middle School. Once back at the Sheriff’s De-partment, the Deputy searched the website for the man, and confirmed that he is a sexual offender. He’s forwarded the information to the appropriate departments dealing with the sexual offenders registry. (To be fair, some “sexual offenders” were 17 year olds dating 16 year olds, or so I’m told. Not sure I’d buy anything from a door to door meat salesman, especially if he’s dragging it around in a cooler!)• A man called Deputies to meet him in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot on Hwy 280. He told them he’d been traveling down Hwy 280 behind a Coca Cola delivery truck when something fell from the truck and hit his hood and windshield. One Deputy made a note about the dents and two small scratches on the wind-shield. Then the Deputy spoke with the Coke man, who explained that he’s not allowed to drive the truck with the trailer door open, so he didn’t know how anything could have fallen from the truck. He added that the man had ap-proached him and told him if he’d just give him a couple of cases of Coke, he wouldn’t call the Police.• At midnight thirty, a Deputy was patrolling the Buckhead subdivision in Richmond Hill. When he approached the traffic circle on Hwy 144, he noticed the white Chevy pickup as it crossed the yellow centerline. Then the driver corrected back into the lane, but crossed all the way over the white fog line. Then back over the yellow centerline. Then back again all the way over the white fog line. Then back across the yellow centerline, and the Deputy hit his blue lights and made a traffic stop. He approached the driver’s window and asked the man for his license and insurance papers. The man took about a minute to locate his insurance papers, and handed them over, but still no driver’s license. The Deputy asked for the license again, and the man’s hands were shaking as he searched through his wallet and finally located it. He handed it over, and dispatch said the tag and the man’s license were valid. The Deputy asked the man if he was chewing tobacco, and the man said he was. The Dep-uty asked him to spit it out, and when he did, the smell of alco-hol on the man’s breath became overwhelming. So the Deputy had him submit to the sobriety tests. He failed them all, includ-ing doing the moonwalk on the walk and turn test. He was ar-rested for DUI Refusal when he refused to blow into the alcosen-sor at the Sheriff’s Office.• Around 10:30pm, a Deputy no-

also “Savannah Alexis” goes to-gether pretty well.” Alexis admits she views her-self as a very competitive person who like many hate to lose. “It gets me in trouble sometimes,” she adds. Some of the competitiveness may have come from her parents and brother. Her father, Tim, played tennis at Savannah Chris-tian while her mother, Jamie, was a cheerleader at Savannah High. Her older brother, Matt, played basketball and golf at SEHS. Alexis was a multi-sports ath-lete in her younger days, but in the end chose softball. “Growing up I played soft-ball, basketball and ran track. I tried soccer but that lasted not even half of a season. It was too much running for me. I played basketball from rec ball (about 8 years old) all the way up to my freshman year in high school. I ran track from 6th grade to 10th grade. I decided to give up both of those sports to dedicate all of my extra time to softball and school. It was a tough decision but I’m glad I made it.” While playing at South Eff-ingham, Alexis was a outstand-ing athlete. She was named the 2010 Region 2-AAAA Player of the Year, was a two-time all-state honoree (2009 & 2010) and competed in the 2011 North vs. South All-Star game. When it came time to select a college, Alexis wanted to stay close to home. She admits she is defi nitely a homebody but it was a family illness that led her re-main in the area. “What really led my decision to staying super close to home was my mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2010, a few months before my senior year of high school started. It was around the time I needed to com-mit to a school. I wanted to stay close to her during that journey, which I didn’t know how long it would last, so I decided to com-mit to Armstrong. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I had always wanted to go “big” (Divi-sion I) but I know God had big-ger and better plans for me so I followed that path and I was lead to Armstrong. I had a handful of other schools interested in me but they were all too far for my
liking and not in my interest so I didn’t give them too much atten-tion.” When asked about the cur-rent condition of her mom, she states that she is cancer free. Mercer also credits a strong family bond that has kept her grounded. “The support from my family has truly been a blessing. They have supported me from the day I stepped foot on a softball fi eld to my very last game this past May. And they still heavily support me in anything I decide to take on. I am 100% positive I have the best family I could have ever dreamed of. “ Alexis started out study-ing nursing at Armstrong but switched majors. “I’m actually no longer doing nursing. I switched my major to rehabilitation science last year so I will get my bachelors in that in May of 2016, then I plan on go-ing to physician assistant school, hopefully at South University in Savannah.” Her brother is also studying to be a part of the medical fi eld. “He is fi nishing up his nurse anesthetist degree at Duke Uni-versity. He will also be done in May of 2016.” Working in the medical fi eld will be a dream job for Alexis. “I’ve always wanted to work in the medical fi eld. Nursing was the “most common” so I fi gured I would go that route. After a while I learned that’s not ex-actly what I wanted to do. So I switched to rehab science which is still in the medical fi eld, just a little bit different. I like wounds closed, not so much open. I have a queasy stomach when it comes to graphic injuries and I know if I went the nursing route I would come across things like that pret-ty often.” Many athletes want to take a turn at coaching once their play-ing days are done but not Alexis, who worships at Community Bible Church of Savannah. “I’ve never wanted to be a head coach of a team but I do enjoy giving private one-on-one hitting lessons to young girls as well as helping coach my alma mater.” After graduation, Alexis wants to stay in the Savannah area because she wants to remain close to the water and fi shing is an added advantage. “I do fi sh a lot. My brother, dad and boyfriend are big fi sh-erman. I love going. My biggest fi sh was a Goliath grouper which I caught off of the Florida Keys. They aren’t good eating fi sh but they are tons of fun to catch & ginormous! I thought I was reel-ing up a car.” Another reason is because she likes that small town feel. “I really like how Effi ngham is a small county. It’s defi nitely growing, but I really like know-ing a lot of people around here. Everyone pretty much knows everyone. If you go to the gas station or grocery store you’re bound to see someone you know. And I just like that it’s small, nothing too big. I don’t think I could survive in a city like At-lanta. Savannah is pushing it for me,” she says with a chuckle.
Alexis has no regrets about picking Armstrong. “My career at Armstrong has been nothing short of amazing. Four years of softball was a dream come true. I met life-long friends and made countless amount of memories and that’s truly what it’s all about.” Like with anybody who at-tends college, they often make friendships that last a lifetime. She did just that with her Pirate teammates. “Of course! Each team was different each year but I still keep in touch with almost all of them whether it be thru Facebook or if we talk on the daily. We all still keep in touch. They’re friend-ships I’ll have forever… even with my coaches too! This entire experience has been wonderful.” Another advantage of attend-ing ASU was that it allowed her to become closer with her grand-mother, Patricia Horne Coleman who lives in nearby Windsor For-est. “Of course! I could relax all day at her house if I had the time and if she was closer- we are beg-ging her to come move up here to Effi ngham LOL. But, I try to visit her as much as I can. She is too good to me. She is absolutely a fabulous woman!” Now that her college athletic career is over, Alexis plans on be-coming more active in school and giving back to the community. “This year I will have more time to focus on my studies with me not playing softball so I plan on being more involved with class and study sessions as much as possible. I try to give back to the community whenever I’m able to—It’s usually thru sports… but softball has done so much for me so it’s a blessing being able to give back and share my knowledge with young girls- not only to help them become better athletes- but better individuals as well.” When Armstrong lost to Georgia College in the South-east Regionals in May, Alexis had two hits and drove in a run. When asked what went through her mind once she realized that would be her last collegiate game as player, she responded “oh I don’t even want to talk about it!!! It’s still a sore subject. I remember we were almost getting run ruled and I was at short stop and I re-alized the score and how much time we had left until I was done for the rest of my life and I’m go-ing to be honest- tears fi lled my eyes. I had to refocus in case a ball was hit to me LOL but it was defi nitely an emotional moment there for a second but looking back, we came a long way this past season and I couldn’t have been more proud of our team.” Alexis has a hall of fame in her future. Perhaps in Effi ngham County or Armstrong State...or both. When asked what she thinks she will be most remem-bered for she said “I honestly don’t know- maybe my hitting. Don’t get me wrong, I loved short stop and playing defense but there was something special about being up at the plate...just you and the pitcher. I surprised myself my college career. I was never a home run hitter through high school- I even used to bat left handed a little bit just to get little base hits and get on base. But Coach Evans has an amazing hitting philosophy and it shows. Just about everyone on in our line up could hit with power. We lead the conference in homer runs al-most all 4 years I was there and I know they will continue to do so.” Now, the South Effi ngham High School grad is ready to move on to the next chapter in her life. She has earned plenty of accomplishments and there are plenty more waiting for her down the road.

ticed the Chevy S-10 crossing the centerline and fog line repeat-edly on Wilma Edwards Road. He made a traffic stop and im-mediately detected the odor of alcohol while speaking with the driver. He asked the man if he’d been drinking, and the man re-plied that he’d only had about three cocktails. He had the man step out of his truck, and saw the man was having some problems with that gravity thing. After the man tested posi-tive for alcohol, he was placed under arrest for DUI. The Deputy sat him in the rear seat of his pa-trol car, then ran a check on his license plate. It returned belong-ing on a Mercury Grand Marquis. The man apparently overheard this over the Deputy’s radio, and quickly explained that he’d just bought the truck and hadn’t reg-istered it in his name yet. He was taken to jail while the truck was towed to the impound yard.

walked to the beer aisle and picked up two cases of beer priced at $15 each. Then he walked out the door with the cashier chasing behind him. She confronted the man and asked if he was going to pay for them. The man looked at her and said he didn’t know what she was talking about. So she pointed to the two cases in the rear seat of his car. The man then got in his 2008 Honda Accord and drove off. The cashier wrote down his license plate, and Deputies traced it to a man in Rincon. The Deputy went to the man’s home, but he wasn’t there. So he then checked to see if the man had a Facebook page. He did. The Dep-uty showed the cashier a picture of the man from his Facebook
page, and she confirmed he was the shoplifter. Warrants have been issued for his arrest. (I just can’t stand a thief!)• Deputies responded to a Guy-ton residence where a woman told them her son had acciden-tally shot himself in the foot as he was getting ready to go duck hunting! (Rabbit Hunting!! Duck Hunting!!! Rabbit Hunting!!!!) Her son said he thought the gun’s safety was on when he picked the gun up. The Deputy saw the hole in the porch floor where the bullet passed through the young man’s foot. He was trans-ported to Memorial Hospital for treatment.• At 10pm, Deputies responded to a Rincon residence where a drunk man was becoming dis-orderly. They pulled up to see a man and a woman trying to escort the man from their prop-erty. The man was too drunk to stand up, was slurring his words, and could barely talk. The Depu-ty couldn’t understand anything the man said. Nevertheless, he was able to get the man hand-cuffed and seated in his patrol
car. The man then began unload-ing a bunch of racial slurs and cuss words at the Deputy. The man who’d been carry-ing the drunk said that they’d been out to a local bar, and when they got back to his house, the man began getting disorderly and tried to pick a fight with the victim’s dogs. The offender end-ed up throwing a punch at the victim, who punched the man back. By now, the offender had fallen asleep in the patrol car. He was charged with disorderly con-duct, public drunk, and criminal trespass and taken to jail.• A Deputy was on his way to an off-duty job at 11:30pm, head-ing southbound on Dean Forrest Road when a white Ford F150 pulled out of the parking lot at Blueberry Hill Bar. The driver began pulling over into the Deputy’s lane without yielding. The Deputy had to change lanes quickly to avoid an accident. The driver then quickly accelerated and pulled to a stop at the red light at the westbound exit ramp to I-16. After being stopped for maybe five seconds, this idiot decides to run the red light. With the Deputy stopped right beside him. The man nearly struck the concrete curb of the median. At least that’s what the Deputy thinks happened. He had to look to the right instinctively as the man got close to striking the pa-trol car when he took off. The Deputy caught up with him quickly, and got him pulled over on Sunshine Avenue. He held the man there until the Gar-den City Police could arrive and handle the DUI arrest.• A convenience store clerk told Deputies she set her cellphone down on the cash register, and walked away. She suspects
another female, a regular cus-tomer, as the person who stole the phone. The phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, valued at $800. Deputies will be review-ing the store’s surveillance video to figure out if the woman was the actual thief. ($800 for a cell-phone?!!! It must have had a solid gold case to keep it safe!)• At 2am, a Deputy was behind a white Honda on Hwy 21 South in Rincon, and noticed the oc-cupants of the car were moving around a lot. The driver then switched to the left lane without using a turn signal, and then back into the left hand lane before pulling into the left turn lane at Goshen Road. The Deputy hit his blue lights, and the driver pulled into the church parking lot there. When he made contact with the driver, he recognized her as still of high school age, with only a learner’s permit. So he knew already that she shouldn’t be driving at this time of night without an adult in the car. And that was about the time that he first caught a whiff of the green marijuana coming from the car. The two passengers appeared to be very nervous as the young woman looked for her license to hand over. A Deputy with a K-9 part-ner soon showed up, and the dog alerted on the car. A quick search turned up bits and pieces of marijuana and a set of scales for measuring the dope for sale. The driver and passengers were pat-searched, and a baggie was found in the pants pocket of one of the young men. By that point, he was beginning to get an atti-tude with the Deputy. So they searched him again, and found another baggie of pot in the pocket of the pants he was wearing underneath his
blue jeans. He was then arrested on charges of possession with intent to distribute. The other young man was arrested for pos-session of alcohol by an under-age person. Both were taken to jail. The young girl driver was re-leased to drive home.• A Deputy was running radar in that two to three mile stretch of I-95 in Effingham County and clocked a southbound car at 91mph in the 70mph zone. He made a traffic stop and ap-proached the driver, who ex-plained that he was active duty Navy and was on his way home to Hinesville. He admitted he was speeding, though he didn’t know exactly how fast he was going. He was also unable to pro-vide a driver’s license. A check with dispatch revealed that the young man had never had more than a learner’s permit, and it had been suspended for seri-ous moving violations under the age of 21. The Deputy, noting the young man’s service to our country, simply issued citations to him and had a licensed family member come and pick him up.• A woman called Deputies about her ex-husband driving past her home trying to see his kids. The woman pointed out that she has primary custody of the kids, and until her ex-hus-band pays her the $66,000 in past due child support, she’s not gonna let him see his kids. Both the man and woman were re-ferred to seek legal counsel and settle the matter in court. (How do you get $66,000 behind in your child support?!!)• At 10:30pm, Deputies respond-ed to a Guyton residence for the removal of an unwanted person. They were met in the driveway by a man who pointed to the white Nissan parked in the front yard. The man claimed the woman in the house wouldn’t give him his keys back so he could leave. The woman came out and said the

As a young teenager, many of my summer days were spent fishing at the local canal. I remember the unique art to catching carp using whole kernel corn as my bait. I also remember the little country store where I bought that corn. What I remember most about that store however, was not my corn purchases but my candy ones. Edna (the lady who ran the store) had a candy counter that was strategically placed just to one’s left as soon as you walked in. The glass front was positioned low enough for the smallest youngun’ to press his nose against and carefully decide just what sugary morsel he would purchase on that day. The patience of Edna had to be God-like. After all, there were a whole bunch of youngsters that stood in line to make life-altering selections. And while those memories are special, there is still one more that trumps the selection stage. It was the post-purchase loitering. I can remember sitting on the front porch of Edna’s store with my Coke and candy.
And I can still remember the wonderful cool sensation that I felt when I would lay down on that smooth concrete during the summer. The Coke, candy, and concrete made for the best recovery after a morning of fishing or an afternoon of baseball. I’m glad she never ran us off. Her hospitality and patience were always taken for granted until we were old enough to realize how special it really was. That’s the way most of life is. Rarely do we see the value in people or their actions until time has passed. This is especially true for the virtues that lack fanfare. Kindness, hospitality, and patience are naturally provided without pomp. They are abstract and bodiless and thus are lost most of the time in the shadow of more tangible acts. It is only as we pause and look back that we recall these quiet gestures that now stand out as monuments. If you can recall these moments maybe it is important that you make some of your own – to those who may not
appreciate them until later. Kindness, hospitality, and patience are like the pocket change I once handed to Edna. It not only buys me initial satisfaction but it also builds a porch for those who need a cool place to rest and recover. And everyone needs that.

Deputy that she would have had sects with him, but she became fearful that he had an S.T.D. Then, when she told him it wasn’t going to happen that night, he began “acting all cra-zy!” The Deputies served the man with a Criminal Trespass notice not to ever return to the woman’s home. Then they found the man’s car keys in the yard near the roadway and let him park in a neighbor’s yard,
and he was allowed to catch a ride to a friend’s house.• A woman called Deputies and complained that her ex-boy-friend had posted a nude picture of her on her Facebook page, then changed her password so that she couldn’t delete it. The Deputies all gathered together around the computer, and a cou-ple of hours later suggested that she contact Facebook and see if they could do anything about it.
