Haiti is a forlorn half of an is-land in the Caribbean Sea. One of the poorest countries in existence. A country gripped by war, poverty, corruption. And now a country that has been so desperate in needs, suffered the unkindest cut, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The 2010 Haiti earthquake was acatastrophi-cone, occurring approximately 16 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti’scapital. The earthquake oc-curred on Tuesday, 12 January 2010. By 24 January, at least 52af-tershocksmeasuring 4.5 or greater had been recorded. An estimated three million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian Govern-ment reported that an estimated 230,000 people had died, 300,000 had been injured and 1,000,000 made homeless. They also esti-mated that 250,000residencesand 30,000commercial buildingshad collapsed or were severely dam-aged. Part of the of!cial United States government response to aid Haiti was the deployment of the resourc-es of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. Included in the mix were the assets of Savannah’s Air Force, the 165thAirlift Wing, Georgia Air National Guard. When disaster strikes like Hur-ricane Katrina or the Flint River "oods, most people assume the normal air assets of the 165thAW are deployed, and they are usually right. And in this case, the 165th AW placed a C-130 aircraft and crew on standby for the relief effort as ordered by the National Guard Bureau. But the true responders from the unit were some of the least pro!led individuals in the units, the often overlooked Airmen of the Services Squadron. This little known group of men and women are the Airmen who provide meals, accommodations, and unfortunately, mortuary ser-vices. As it goes with the Guard, no one knows when that call up will happen. For these men and women, their call came in January and soon they were shipping out to Haiti in the last week of Janu-ary. Nine individuals in total with the main purpose of establishing a food kitchen for the military based at Port Au Prince’s international airport, the hub of the relief effort. With the armed services of nu-merous countries rushing in along with other aid workers, the airport soon was teeming with relief work-ers, cargo, and other aid to help relieve the struggling nation. The
165thForce Sustainment Squadron (FSS) established a kitchen and dining area, one of !fteen in the burgeoning military areas of the city. In their area, they were and still are serving more than three hundred hot meals at each sitting. Beyond taking care of the Airmen and Soldiers in their area, they have been able to provide surplus food to a local hospital, serving both victims and relief workers. According to Lieutenant Colo-nel Jeff Thetford, Commander of the 165thSupport Group, the 165th FSS is working in an austere envi-ronment where everyday amenities are non-existent. “The ‘kitchen’ they operate out of is a tent. The meals are prepared in a heat index of more than 100 degrees, without air conditioning. Yet, despite all that they have to deal with includ-ing long hours, separation from home, and minimal creature com-
forts, they have maintained a great attitude,” Thetford said. “Their willingness to serve un-der such dif!cult circumstances is a tribute to the kind of folks we have in the 165thand the Georgia
ANG. The Mission Support Group leadership team is very proud of what they have accomplished and we all look forward to their safe re-

Lying near the banks of the Sa-
vannah River is the historical town
of New Ebenezer. The Trustees of
the colony of Georgia extended an
invitation to 300 Salzburgers who
were seeking religious freedom.
The group arrived January 8th,
1734 and those who survived the
long voyage from the Province of
Salzburg (present day Austria),
built a new life here in America.
The population continued to
grow until the Revolutionary War
when it was burned by the British.
The town never recovered and now
275 years later, it largely remains
untouched. The Jerusalem Luther-
an Church, where the Salzburgers
worshiped, remains on the land, as
well as the !rst orphanage building
(which is used as the museum to-
day) and an old homestead.
Mere feet from these historic
landmarks lay the New Ebenezer
Family Retreat and Conference
Center, built in 1977. The center
welcomes corporate groups, school
groups, family reunions, banquets,
religious groups, and anyone else
who would like to get away from
the daily grind and enjoy nature.
The center is a non-pro!t organi-
zation which relies on the generos-
ity of guests and others who seek
to keep the center up and running.
The Scholarship fund, which is
funded by people like you, allows
kids and adults who wouldn’t be
able to attend their school group or
church retreat otherwise. The cen-
ter stays active in the community
by participating and hosting vari-
ous events and festivities through-
out the year such as their Annual
5K Forest Run/Walk. The event at-
tracts avid runners as well as those
who simply enjoy a good jog.
They also host three Hand Bells
festivals, a beginners, an interme-
diate, and an advanced. During the
275th Salzburger Heritage Day this
past year, they hosted the sculptors
of the Rev. Johann Boltzius statue
and set up a booth that highlighted
their hit education program, “Eb-
enezer Alive”. The program is of-
fered from September to May.
This program has attracted
students from Georgia, Alabma,
Florida, North Carolina and South
Carolina for the 48 hour retreats.
Many of these groups visit the cen-
ter annually, but there are always
those who are visiting for their !rst
time. During their stay, the kids
will learn from three main catego-
ries: Local History and Heritage,
Nature/Environmental Science,
and Character Education. There
are several different packages to
be chosen from and classes range
from participating in a DNR wild-
life workshop to exploring the
Indian Council House to getting
hands on in an Archeology Lab.
Their facilities include a large
main building, classrooms, two
types of cabins (which together
can sleep 175+), conference/meet-
ing rooms, two kitchens, volleyball
and basketball courts, swimming
pool, and a camp!re. All of this
is set on land rich in trees and a
creek, very similar to when the Sal-
zburgers !rst settled it.

turn home very soon.” 165th AW Chaplain, Captain Brannon Bowman visited with them on a church mission trip to Haiti. He brought with him cards and letters from family, friends, and coworkers which only brightened the team’s labor-intensive days. “The cards and letters brought laughs and tears, a welcome breath of fresh air in a sea of desolation,” said Chaplain Bowman. Bowman had the opportunity to see the devastation that was wrought on Haiti, and found the U.S. military presence is making a difference. Bowman concluded, “The men and women are making an impact, albeit slow and recovery will take awhile, but what a bless-ing to see our Airmen in the midst of the effort and making a differ-ence in this needy nation.” Still to this day, six members of the team remain in Haiti, according to Senior Master Sergeant Brent In-gram, the Services Squadron’s su-perintendent. “They work in this austere environment but they are satis!ed because they are helping
people,” said Ingram. Hopefully they will return home soon to family and friends. They also will return home to the military recognition of a job well done and the Humanitarian Ser-vice Medal. Their lives will have been changed forever by the in-ternal satisfaction of helping their
fellow man and knowing that they saved lives and made a difference.
Lieutenant Colonel David Si-mons is the Public Affairs Of!cer with the 165th AW and went to Haiti on a mission trip seven months prior to the earthquake.
Technical Sergeant Maurlen Whitaker, Senior Airman Patricia Gardner, and Staff Sergeant Paul Folsome share a moment to look at their cards
and letters brought into Haiti by Chaplain Bowman.

The annual Memorial Day pro-gram at the Veterans Park is set for Memorial Day afternoon at 6pm. This year the program will once again recognize by name all those who have given their life in com-bat, beginning with the Revolu-tionary War. We will also be hearing a report from the deployment of the local National Guard unit, Alpha Bat-
tery, regarding their time in Afgani-stan. Also participating in the pro-gram will be the Effingham Com-munity Orchestra and the Junior ROTC unit from Effingham Coun-ty High School. “It is a time for remembrance... we urge citizens to come out with their friends, relatives and neigh-bors for this special time set aside
in our country for remembering. We currently have 61 individu-als recognized as ‘killed-in-action’ by the in-laid stones on the plaza near the flame. It is our opportu-nity to recognize that we have citi-zens who go forth and ‘give all’, the supreme sacrifice, their life,” said Ruth Lee, chairperson of Veteran Park Board.

Hillary Clinton did it and it worked for her when she ran for the Senate in New York, so now Republicans will give it a go. It’s the listening tour, except unlike Hillary, who traveled from town to town, Republicans plan to stay in one place and invite you to come to them. House Republicans announced on Tuesday a new Website (www.americaspeakingout.com). It in-vites people to submit their ideas in five categories: American pros-perity, fiscal accountability, Ameri-can values, national security and an “open mic” section on which you can recommend anything not covered by the other four. I do not wish to discourage anyone from asking for good ideas, but isn’t this what we elect our rep-resentatives to do? If they have run out of good ideas that work and can improve the country, maybe it’s time for them to leave office and allow people with good ideas to serve in their place. Given the toxic nature of our politics, what makes anyone think that a good idea from a Democrat would be accepted by a Republican and vice versa? Would it even be labeled “good” if the idea came from the opposition? I doubt it. Are we the first generation out of the cave? Has nothing been tried before? We know what works and what doesn’t. Is there any doubt that we are under a crushing load of debt because we spend too much on “entitlements” that are really just bribes for votes? Aren’t individual liberty and economic in-dependence good ideas? A surgeon wouldn’t ask pa-tients in a hospital for suggestions
on how to perform an appendec-tomy. Why, then, are Republicans asking the public to do their job? But since they asked, here are some recommendations: Economy: If Republicans re-gain power, they should promise to immediately declare a national fiscal emergency during which every federal program and agency, including every “entitlement,” will be required to justify its contin-ued existence. If it cannot do so, it should be eliminated. People must be told that the gravy train isn’t go-ing to stop at their station any lon-ger so they’d better get about the business of taking care of them-selves and their families. This will hurt, at first, like quitting nicotine or caffeine cold turkey, but the end result will be independence. This might also require us to redefine the “American Dream,” which ought to be less about ac-cumulating stuff and more about acquiring character. That worked for previous generations. Education: Money doesn’t im-prove grades. Eliminate the De-partment of Education and reduce school staff (not good teachers). Allow for school choice. The ini-tial focus will be on disadvantaged children who have proven that they can learn in the right envi-ronment and with the proper en-couragement and motivation. The cycle of poverty will be broken and African Americans, especially, will thank Republicans by returning to their pre-Roosevelt roots and vot-ing for them out of gratitude for saving their children. Social issues: With the excep-tion of adultery and physical abuse, divorce should be made more dif-ficult and so should marriage. People should be required to see a counselor before marrying or di-
vorcing. The social cost of divorce has been staggering. It should be discouraged. Abortion should also be discouraged and every woman who thinks she wants one should be required to view a sonogram of that which she is about to termi-nate. That would save many abort-ed babies and increase the number of taxpayers. National defense: National defense begins with going after those who are going after us. Yes, we intend to identify, pursue (and deport from America) those terror-ist leaders who use religion as an excuse to murder innocent civil-ians. Never has “the best defense is a good offense” had greater mean-ing. These are some of my ideas, Re-publicans. I have more (including health care), but do these and the rest won’t be necessary. Don’t you already know these things? If so, what’s the point of the Website?

Nurses have been a part of the school setting since the late 1800s. With the widespread use of antibi-otics and vaccines the role of the school nurse has evolved to new levels. Last week was National Nurses Week, and we want to say ‘thank you’ to our school nurses. School nurse day was established in 1972 to recognize and improve understanding of the role of nurses in the schools. Happy nurses week to the school nurses of our area. You are appreciated for all of the attention and care you give to our children. The nurses of Chatham, Effing-ham, and Bryan Counties promote student health and safety. They ac-complish health services by imple-menting a healthy environment, counseling and education, as well as parent and community involve-ment. Students must be healthy to
learn. School nurses are an im-portant part of the education team that supports student success. The school health services program fo-cuses on child health and safety as well as assisting parents to obtain needed health services. Keeping students well and healthy helps them learn better, lowers absentee-ism, lowers dropout rates, and im-proves test scores and graduation rates. Years ago, school nurses often were not nurses at all but volun-teers or office staff who put on Band-Aids, gave out sympathy, and called parents. That isn’t enough in
today’s schools. Growing numbers of students have special health care needs and chronic illnesses such as insulin dependent diabetes, asth-ma, severe allergies, cancer, and more. More children take prescrip-tion medicines or treatments that require professional nurse assess-ment and interventions at school. School nurses provide routine screenings for vision, hearing, and dental problems, scoliosis, and im-munization checks. As if they did not have enough duties, school nurses are also CPR/AED and first aid certified; many are instructors, and are able to provide life saving interventions. In addition, health teaching for students, their parents, and staff is provided on a daily basis by this unwavering staff. We recognize and appreciate our school nurses. Thank you for your commitment to student health and safety.
We are thankful for school nurses.

May 29thGod saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be,
So He closed His arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.”In tears we saw you sinking and watched you fade away, though
you fought so hard to stay.But when we saw you sleeping, so free from the pain, we could not
wish you back to suffer again.God keep Your arms around him, and keep him in Your care,
For all that he suffered, it seems so unfair.
Lovingly missed by: Your daughter, Patricia Dees Weaver and Family
To the family of,
REV. RALPH DAVIS“Our thoughts and prayers are with you.”

A band with “vision” minis-tered at Abundant Life Church in Springfield last Sunday morning, providing a blend of inspired gos-pel music and comedy that had many in the congregation rockin’ and rollin’ in the aisles. Taking the stage was Eternal Vision, a Knoxville-based band that combines faith, family, warmth and outstanding musical ability. There’s Mike Shelby, the found-er of the band, who sings lead vo-cals and plays guitar and piano. He started the group in 1989 after playing lead guitar in several gospel groups. His wife, Gail, the daughter of a Baptist minister, is an original member of the group. Starting out as the bass player, she took over alto/tenor vocals in 1998. Their son, Shannon, didn’t fall too far from the piano. Joining the group in 1997 as the drummer, he plays lead guitar, bass, keyboards, piano and harmonica with passion and style. On Sunday, for instance, he performed on the piano with a flair that called to mind Jerry Lee Lewis or Liberace, striking the keys in an exaggerated manner and singing with impressive power and range. He’s also a songwriter and musical arranger. Stuart Stallings joined Eter-nal Vision in 2004 after singing bass with Won Heart for six years. Regarded as having one of the smoothest bass voices in Southern Gospel, he’s also a songwriter and guitarist. Not to be overlooked is his ability to make audiences laugh. On Sunday, for example, Stall-ings told Mike that “Best Western had called and wanted its bed-spread back.” He also said “it’s been
so dry that two trees were fighting over a dog.” Pastor Don Burkhalter , who has over 35 years of experience as a minister, says he has never heard anyone more anointed or better ministers of the Word. He adds that he also enjoyed the variety of songs. “They have a lot of vari-ety, which appeals to different age groups,” Burkhalter notes. Ben Fullerwood and Shayna Lockard were among the younger demographic in attendance, and they both gave Eternal Vision ex-cellent reviews. “They put the pep in the step,” says the 20-year-old. “They knew what they were doing. “They were different. I really liked the comedy.” Lockard says the group is one of the greatest Christian bands she’s seen. “They had different vocals and different kinds of music,” she explains. “I really liked that.” The members travel and live on a bus that has logged over one million miles to churches and other venues around the country; on Sun-day, they had some issues with the
bus air conditioner, and they pre-viously had to rely on the benevo-lence of a local company to replace bus tires that had worn down but, inexplicably, hadn’t t deteriorated further despite logging significant additional mileage. In July, the group will hit the water (not in the bus, hopefully) and perform on an Alaskan cruise ship. They’ve also done concerts in Europe. Despite a well-traveled bus and expenses of $50,000, Eternal Vision contributes to several charities and stays true to its goal of serving as a ministry. As it states on the groups’ website, “We feel honored to be given the opportunity to serve God all across the country through the vehicle of Southern Gospel Music. We ask that you remember us in our prayers as we strive to do God’s will.” For further information or for concert dates, go to www.eternalvi-sion.net. They will be performing at Ardsley Park Baptist in June. Keep watching The Spirit for more details.

MY ANSWERBy Billy Graham
Q: We get mail all the time from or-ganizations asking for money, and we just get confused. We want to help, but how do we decide where we ought to give? We can’t support everything and we know our little bit doesn’t make much difference anyway. -- S.H.M.
A: Do you remember the widow in the Bible who only had two very small coins to give to God’s work? In the eyes of most people her gift was use-less -- but Jesus commended her to His disciples: “This poor widow has put in more than all the others” (Luke 21:3). Why did Jesus say this? One rea-son was because in God’s eyes it wasn’t the size of her gift that mattered, but her attitude of sacri!ce and love for God. In addition, Jesus knew that God could take even the smallest gift and use it for His glory. And the same is true for us. If Christ is !rst in our lives, our desire will be to support His work in every way we possibly can. Is this your goal? Ask God to guide you in your giving. No, you can’t support every cause that comes your way -- nor should you try. But you can seek God’s will for your giving, asking Him to direct you to give to those that need it most. Pray too for those organizations, that God will help them use their resources wisely and carefully. Above all, seek to follow the Bible’s teaching in your giving: “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7). May this be true for you -- and it will be, as you put Christ !rst in your life.

Solace at Sunset Life appears empty sometimes. Times like losing a job, ending a marriage, loss of a loved one, or fi-nancial collapse. All endings. I guess that’s it. Things that end remain empty and hard to fill, replace or let go. Then how do you explain sun-sets? It is indeed an end to some-thing or many things. The day ends, the celebration concludes, the band stops playing, the dance is over, the lights go out and we “call it a day.” Seems empty to me. Why then do we love sunsets? It seems to go so fast when you don’t want the day to end and
much too slow when you can’t wait for it to be over. My curiosity asked “How long is a sunset?” My searching found this answer. Rather factual, cold and lacking any emotional ties to the experience, still the answer. “It very much depends on the observer’s latitude. On the equa-tor, it would take about 2 minutes because the Sun is moving perpen-dicular to the horizon.. At other latitudes, it moves at a shallower angle. For example, at latitude 50 degrees, it takes about 4 minutes. From the north or south pole, it takes more than a day because it is a function of the Earth’s orbital mo-tion, not its rotation. Atmospheric refraction makes the Sun appear higher in the sky and will tend to slightly increase these times.” (Ya-
hoo Answers) “How long does a sunset take?” A sunset takes the colors of the day, the beauty of a collection of moments, the very essence of ever having been, and squeezes them into enough time to remem-ber, forget, embrace, let go, fall in love, sigh, kiss, wave goodbye or say “thanks.” It does all that and means much more depending on what you believe, where you are in life and where you live on Earth. Perhaps it is not so much the event that captures my heart but knowing it will all happen again, but never the same. It is knowing that, that gives me “Solace at Sunset.”

Cabbage Patch Kid Logan Byrd wins the award for biggest Cabbage Patch Kid this year. She took a cabbage seedling home from Marlow El-ementary School, and planted it at Grandaddy’s place in Pooler. That’s Mr. Byrd’s garden on the corner of South Skinner and Manden Lane. “I told her to let’s plant it on the end of my potato row,” Mr. Byrd explained. The cabbage has grown to be four feet wide!

By Jonah Goldberg Tribune Media Services
It has already become a cliche on the right to tut-tut at U.S. Sen-ate candidate Rand Paul’s “rookie” mistake of trying to conduct a “lib-ertarian seminar” during the cam-paign. I’m not so sure. For starters, if you’re not invested in Paul’s politi-cal career, why not seize this rare opportunity for one of those eter-nally sought but never achieved “national conversations” on race? Besides, Paul’s not going to lose because of his reservations about some aspects of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He’s from Kentucky, a very red state. And contrary to what you might suspect from read-ing the national media, not only has he not made repealing the law the centerpiece of his campaign, he has no desire to do so if elected. Indeed, it’s worth noting that the only people who are really jazzed to reopen the argument about the Civil Rights Act are lib-erals. And they have good reason: They won that argument, politi-cally and morally. This is a fact lib-erals never stop reminding us, and themselves, about. Like a paunchy middle-aged man who scored the winning touchdown in the high school championship, nostalgic liberals don’t need an excuse to bring up their glory days (which were not the Democratic Party’s glory days, by the way). Give them a living, breathing politician who suggests, no matter how im-precisely or grudgingly, that the Civil Rights Act wasn’t perfect, and they’ll talk your ear off like a drunk uncle at a wedding. How many activist groups in-sist that their plight is sublimely analogous to the civil rights strug-gle? How many times did the Dem-ocrats try to make health-care re-form a continuation of civil rights? “When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) intoned as he tried to ram health-care reform through, “some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today.” What really makes this debate
remarkable is that someone has volunteered to be the straw man liberals are always creating. It’s also proof that conservatives just can’t win. During the Bush years, liberals elevated libertarian-ism as the “good” right-wing ide-ology, sanctifying Barry Goldwater as the betrayed founding father of a more noble anti-statist tradition than the one presided over by the crazed apostate George W. Bush (whose racial views happened to be more benign than Goldwater’s). For instance, Robert F. Kenne-dy Jr. wrote an afterword to Gold-water’s “Conscience of a Conser-vative” lionizing the late Arizona senator as the sort of honorable conservative all liberals respect. Goldwater’s granddaughter pro-duced a documentary in which Hillary Rodham Clinton, James Carville and other liberals sang AuH20’s praises. And yet, when a very clearly nonracist libertarian politician merely raises the possibility -- with admirable honesty and sincerity -- that Goldwater might have been a teensy-weensy bit right to vote against the 1964 bill (Goldwater had voted consistently for civil rights laws before then), it’s an out-rage. For the record, Paul and Gold-water were both wrong. The liber-tarian position is not to defend Jim Crow but to condemn it, and not just because of its unjust bigotry but because of its economic folly that served to entrench that big-otry. Paul weeps for the lost right of white businessmen to refuse black customers (even though he rejects the practice himself). But he fails to appreciate the perverse irony that one of Jim Crow’s greatest evils was its intrusion on the property rights of whites. Jim Crow wasn’t
merely some “Southern tradition” undone by heroic good govern-ment. Jim Crow laws were imposed by government. And they banned white businessmen from serving blacks (Plessy vs. Ferguson, which enshrined “separate but equal” in the Constitution for another six decades, was largely about how blacks could be treated on rail-roads). Liberals often deride the liber-tarian notion that the free market could have solved segregation. I think libertarians have a pretty good argument in theory, but the simple truth is we’ll never know because the market wasn’t free under Jim Crow. Nonetheless, it’s certainly repugnant and bizarre for libertarians like Paul to lament the lost rights of bigots rather than to rejoice at the restored rights of in-tegrationists.

Regarding Hospital Growth...Dear Editor, Yes, I support the Hospital. We hear a lot about the cost, where the money is coming from, has the hospital designed what is really needed… the list could go on and on. Yes, I support the hospital for very personal reasons. I think that sometime in the future that I may need it again as I did nearly three years ago. You don’t need the de-tails, but I did have what I have
always considered a minor heart attack. They tell me there are no minor ones. I have used many other ser-vices, but this is the one that grabs your attention when it happens to you. I would only add that I believe that it is the county government’s responsibility to assure that the citizens of this county have good and up to date, 21st century medi-cal care. And, further, I believe that it is the hospital’s responsibility to be prudent in their planning. So what I really want is for the
hospital and the county to get to-gether and figure out a way to go forward with the financing to do what we must do for our hospital’s future. Maybe both sides should be listening to the other side a little more closely and with an open mind. Whatever, the case is clear for the need to have an up to date modern facility for medical care in Effingham for many reasons. Many, like me, say we need it for our own very personal reasons.
