By TSgt Richey O. LeamerGeilenkirchen NATO AB, Germany I had volunteered, and had the honor of, participating as a wreath bearer at the Memorial Day Cer-emony last weekend, held at Mar-graten American Cemetery, in the Netherlands. The beginning went okay, with a little rain shower be-fore it started, and then it became calm. Finally, we lined up, and the Dignitaries arrived. Queen Bea-trice from the Netherlands, Retired General Shinseki, and many others were in attendance. As I got into position by the !rst wreath (1 of 6 for the day for me, there were over 40 wreaths), I looked at the giver. The country of France! I quickly snapped out of where my mind was taking me and reminded myself why I was there, and, that they lost people in WWII also. Little did I know at that time how this day would impact my life. After several guest speakers (our feet had already went to sleep and our shoulders and elbows throbbed from being at “parade rest” for at least an hour), it was !-nally our turn. I was paired up with a member of the Dutch military. We walked out as wreath #6, the last of the !rst group to walk out in front of the Queen of the Netherlands, and Ret. Gen Shinseki, represent-ing the President of the United States. We reached our spot, and wait-ed for the French General to take his place in front of us, and as he placed his hands on the wreath, we guided it into place. As soon as it was in place, and we were sure it was stable,(they were big enough that they had to be carried by 2 people), we slowly stood up to at-tention and together, my colleague and I faced the front. The French General, slowly saluted, turned and walked back. He had the look on his face like he had other things he could be doing, but he was here. We received our command to “Left face, forward march,” and we went back to get in line for the next one. After we were off of the !eld, the Queen and the General sat down, and we started going up in pairs, from both sides as the wreath holders were in a horseshoe shape. As I picked up the next wreath, I looked at the banner. I don’t re-member exactly the number on the banner, I think it was the 371st, or 381st Bomb Group (heavy, prob-ably a B-17 Group). We were in the front walking out on our side as a pair, and we waited for the hon-

ored member to appear to place the wreath. I was facing my partner, so I could not see how far away they were, and it seemed to be taking some time. The two wreaths on the other side had already been placed, and we are still waiting. It was then that a fragile, elderly gentleman, wearing a suite with his military decorations crudely put on (not exactly uniform and I could tell he did it himself, proudly), walking with a cane, and being steadied by the usher at his side. As he approached, he handed the cane to the usher, and slowly walked forward, with baby steps, and placed his hands on the wreath which we slowly lowered onto the stand. He took 2 steps back, and as with it took all of his might, snapped to attention, and saluted

REMEMBERING THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE


The Margraten American Cemetery in the Netherlands___________________________________

I know... opening last week’s Spirit, and not finding Steve’s Shorts on page two must’ve been like opening a box of Cracker Jack’s and not finding a prize inside. Sorry, we just ran outta time, and space. I’d gone to the Rincon WalMart last Tuesday afternoon, and a woman was trying to make her way across the frontage road, weaving her way through the traffic stopped waiting on the light to turn green so they could turn onto Hwy 21. She’d apparently just stepped on the accelerator to get across the road to Kentucky Fried Chicken and she T-Boned my van, totalling it and leaving me with a cracked rib. (Ever sneezed with a cracked rib? Painful!) Anyway, I got off to a slow start Wednesday having to go get a rental van to get around and deliver newspapers with.

...Which brings me to this Pub-lic Safety announcement courtesy of Pooler City Manager Robbie Byrd... the median on Benton Blvd. at Home Depot and Towne Center Blvd. will be sealed off with con-crete barricades starting next Mon-day. The intersection will become a right in and right out only. Robbie says there have been many acci-dents there, and in fact, he called me back a few hours after asking me to put it in the paper to say that there had been another accident just after we got off the phone. He’s gotten the recommenda-tion of the Police Chief and the Fire Chief, as well as the members of City Council. Robbie’s planning on putting a traffic light in there if

some of the nearby businesses, in-cluding WalMart and Home Depot, will chip in to help defray the cost.

...I apologized a couple of weeks ago for getting so political in our May 6th issue with our story on Senator Lester Jackson’s Political Ambitions clouding his decision to not support Garden City’s attempt to provide a dual referendum for their citizens and for residents of Southbridge to vote on annexation. I should have pointed out that Sen. Jackson contacted me about want-ing to provide his point of view on the issue on Tuesday, May 11th. In an effort to be fair and bal-anced, I offered to let him write a Letter to the Editor if he could get it to us by noon on Wednesday for that Thursday’s paper. We’re still waiting on it.

...Pete Nichols with Chatham County asked us, and apparently all other Chatham County media, to pass this one along...

Dean Forest Road Closure Please be advised that a section of Dean Forest Road will be closed between US 17 and I-16 beginning June 14th. It will remain closed until August 16th. This closure is necessary for the installation of bridge culverts under the roadway. Thru traffic will be detoured to Chatham Parkway while Dean For-est is closed. The County appreciates your patience while we make these im-provements to our roadway and drainage systems. If you have any questions, please call the Chatham County Engineering Office at 652-7800.

...We’ve had some problems

with our website, but I believe we’ve got those problems worked out now. So if you’re one of those who normally read our paper on-line, you should be able to read us this week.

...A final comment... I always ask you, our readers, to support our advertisers and tell them you appreciate them supporting our paper. I had the manager of one of our best car dealers tell me he’s had several people come up and thank him for supporting The Spirit, and actually knows of two sales that the customer drove to Bluffton to make a purchase when they could have gotten the exact same vehicle, the exact same offer, from two dealers in the Savannah market, but they wanted to support a dealership that supported Spirit Newspapers. I’d really like to thank you two folks personally for taking the time to tell him that. That makes a world of difference, especially in these trying economic times when businesses are generally looking to cut advertising budgets rather than increase them. I also would like to thank those customers who mentioned the same thing to the manager of Badcock Furniture on Memorial Day, when the Rincon store led all of the Badcock stores in percentage increase for the day’s sales!

...“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 re-joice!”

...Take care this week, stay safe, and in the words of the great Red Skelton, “May God Bless.”

Talkin’ Out OfTurn• If a turtle doesn’t have a shell, ...is he homeless or naked?

• I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

• I don’t suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

the wreath. Tears started rolling down his face, and still holding the salute, looked me directly in the eye and whispered, “Thank You.” It was all I could do to maintain my position of attention as my own tears started rolling. The usher gently stepped up, and said “Sir, we need to go,” but he stood there holding his salute. He was looking at the wreath, my partner and then me again, almost as if he was looking for closure for a very close, lost friend or family member. The usher stepped up to him again, and putting his cane out for him, said, “Sir?” It was then that the gentleman lowered his salute, whispered thank you again to my partner and I, looking us directly in the eye, and then he slowly walked away. I cannot describe the feelings that were tearing through me at that moment. I felt like my whole insides were ripped out, put in a blender, and poured back in. I had to focus and pay attention for the command to move, facing forward looking at all of the people as I was on center stage, in front of a Queen,

and many VIP’s. It seemed like an eternity, standing at attention facing the crowd, waiting for the for the older gentleman and other folks to clear the !eld, and then we turned and marched off. The other wreaths went smooth, with eye contact and thank you’s, just not as much emo-tion as was displayed before. After the last one, we had a couple more speakers, and as the Jewish Rabbi started down came the rain, HARD. Shortly after he !nished, it slowed up as the choir started signing. Taps was played, and there was a !ring squad. The "y by was canceled due to weather. As the colors, and the forma-tion of Dutch, then American, and then another Dutch formation were beginning the “Pass and Re-view” in front of the dignitaries,

it started to pour again. Just after that, it was time for the Queen and distinguished guest to leave. The music of choice for the exiting was, “Lord, have Mercy” and just as mu-sic started, it poured cats and dogs ... It was almost surreal. As soon as they said the !rst “Lord have Mer-cy,” the pouring rain was as if it was an answer. As I type this I am still emotion-al, and will never forget the look on the gentleman’s face as he stood in front of me, holding his best salute possible, tears rolling down his face, whispering “thank you.” I am eternally grateful and thankful for all of those that he humbly represented and honored, and how he displayed the raw, hon-est, and true meaning of Memorial Day to not only me, but in front all who witnessed this phenomenal event.

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.

Rain did not stop the patriotic citizens of Effingham County from gathering Monday evening for the annual Memorial Day program. Paying respect to fallen soldiers was planned to be held at Springfield’s Veteran Park, however chairperson Ruth Lee organized and re-grouped the gathering at the Board of Edu-cation on Ash Street in Springfield. The crowd wore red, white, and blue as they stood in atten-tion singing tributes to America. Tears were wiped in remembrance and respect. Memorial Day was completed by honoring the men and women of Effingham County who have served during the time of the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Viet Nam and Gulf Wars, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Master of Ceremony, retired military member and former coun-ty administrator, Lamar Crosby led the Memorial Day program as Bible Lutheran Church pastor, Rev. Andrew Krey gave the invocation. Mayor of Springfield, Hon. Jeff Northway welcomed the group by reciting Charles Province‘s well-known poem, ‘It is the Soldier that gave us freedom’. Ruth Lee echoed patriotism as she explained the meaning of Memorial Day being born out of compassion and empa-thy for cherished loved ones. The Effingham County J.R.O.T.C. posted the colors. In-structor Major Danny Burgstiner read names of Effingham County

soldiers who had been killed in ac-tion through war history as the Ef-fingham County Orchestra led by Andrea Huff and Chris Dooley per-formed. It was noted that we owe a great debt to these, that can never be paid; those who have given the full measure. As each branch of the military was recognized and veterans stood to attention, six gentlemen arose as servicemen of World War II. One more gentlemen in the front of the room was included in this group; he sat in a wheelchair due to an amputated leg, his name was Mr. Hartley Botsford. As respect was shown, Lamar Crosby pointed out something that could not be seen by the crowd. Mr. Botsford wore a Silver Star, the highest honor for bravery. With overwhelming pride, a thank you applauded from the group.

A special couple was present at the Memorial Day ceremony, Capt. Larry Groover, and his wife, Mon-ica. It was appropriate that Mrs. Groover had part in the program by leading the group in the Pledge to the Flag. Capt. Larry Groover is the Commander of the Alpha Bat-tery, Effingham’s National Guard Unit. He told in his presenta-tion that it was the admiration of his Grandfather that led him to join the military. His grandfather earned a bronze star and two pur-ple hearts during his career. Capt. Groover explained that he is proud of the country’s past military and he is proud of our military today fighting a solid mission. As the Memorial Day program concluded, Debra Lafferty and Michael Mathis led the crowd in singing the continual prayer, “God Bless America”.

The Effingham County Orchestra performed as leaders honored fallen soldiers at Memorial Day Program in Springfield.

Honoring the Fallen, Memorial Day, 2010

Repeat Champions! On Tuesday, May 18th, Pooler Elementary became the Upper Ele-mentary Quiz Bowl Champions for the second year in a row! These up-per elementary students had to read 6 novels and know them inside and out in order to answer questions about them when pitted against the teams from the other schools. Each team consisted of eight students who had been reading, studying, and practicing all year to prepare for the competition. At the competition, teams met head-to-head in rounds consisting of 18 questions. Points were awarded for the first team to answer each ques-tion correctly. Once each team had played every other team, points were totaled, and the winners re-ceived medals and a trophy. A big ‘THANK YOU’ goes out to West Chatham Elementary for again hosting the competition and doing such a fantastic job!

The Team members are 5th grad-ers; Mary P. Clark, Ashlyn Jeffcoat, Andrew Parsons, and Madeline Williams. 4 graders; Jessie Barre, Ethan Key, Luke MacIver and Mi-chael Pascuzzi.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

By Ashley [email protected] On Saturday, May 29th, reen-actors from the Low Country fell upon Ft. McAllister Historic Park, located in beautiful Richmond Hill. Henry Ford, who owned the property the fort sits on in the late 1930’s, funded the preservation of the historic fort and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources now maintains the property. The fort was abuzz with the scent of summer and guests were instantly greeted by a beautiful grassy field lined on both sides with Live Oaks. Civil War Soldiers and their families fill the fort area making visitors pick up their pace and hurry to the action. A short walk brings one to the Civil War Camp area where the bunks and cooking area lie. Living Historian Lance Dob-son, from Marietta, presented a history of civil war period cook-ing. Mr. Dobson also put together examples of what would be found on the typical Union and Confed-erate soldier, with it all laid out for visitors to see and touch. Also demonstrating their skills were Blacksmith Darryl Kotz and Wood-worker Russ Powell. Most of the living historians/

reenactors present were from the 8th Georgia Infantry, a local re-enactment group led by Captain Rick Phillips. This group stands out from many because of their openness to allowing anyone from any background, race, religion, or sex. Anyone who is interested in joining is encouraged to contact the group by visiting their site at www.8thgeorgiacalvary.home-stead.com. Others who were pres-ent were from South Carolina, some bring part of the 47th Geor-gia, Company G. Captain Phillips has been reen-acting for nearly twenty years and is a member of the Sons of Con-federate Veterans. He served in the Army for six and a half years, leav-ing as a Sgt. In regards to why he and the others travel around to var-ious events he explained, “We all do this to honor our ancestors and present history in a way that oth-ers can understand better.” Cap-tain Phillips went on to say that he enjoys explaining the life of the soldier and talking about how they were equipped. He had numerous chances to do so throughout the day as many guests toured the sta-tions.

The beginning of reenacting goes back to during the war it-self, when veterans would recreate battles for family and friends. This practice served as a way for veter-ans to honor their fallen comrades and explain to others what the war was really like. Modern reenacting is believed to have begun during the Civil War centennial commem-orations, growing in popularity in the 80’s and 90’s. Musket and cannon firings were a big hit with young and older guests as they learned how troops fired their muskets as a unit and how it took a team of six to safely fire cannons. Nearest the actual fort, were more soldiers who also presented common items found on the soldiers such as letters from home, eating utensils, foods, mu-nitions, and such. Those who participate in reen-acting and presenting living histo-ry are all volunteers. They pay for their uniforms and all the gear to accurately “be the part”. Whatever their reasons for getting involved in the activity, they are valuable resources that deserve a big thanks for their commitment to breathing life into history.

By Ashley [email protected] Local American Legion Posts hosted a Memorial Day service at Bonaventure Cemetery in Thun-derbolt. Those in attendance, num-bering upwards of 200, congregat-ed at the American Legion section of the cemetery. Veterans from all wars, beginning with WWII, and their families were present to re-member, reflect, and honor those service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Bonaventure Cemetery holds 145 of those fallen service members. A huge American flag flew high above the heads of those present as American Legion Post 322 Ad-junct, Joe Garcia, welcomed every-one and Post 322 Chaplain Chester Livingston, gave the Invocation. (Post Commander and Pooler Mayor, Mike Lamb, was unable to participate due to his wife being in the hospital.) After the National Anthem was sung and the Changing of Colors had taken place, Rep. Ann Pur-cell gave a moving and powerful speech honoring those who gave their life serving our country and encouraged the crowd to stand up for America and realize what a great land we live in, a land that so many have believed worth dying for. Jim Dunigan III, who was un-able to serve in the military due to medical issues, understands the fire Rep. Purcell has for her coun-try. He is a member of the Active Honor Guard for Chatham County Veterans Council. Serving in the Honor Guard is Jim’s way of serv-ing his country, as he is “protect-ing the colors on the home front,” he said. Jim comes dressed in vin-tage WWI “Doughboy” attire. His grandfather, Jim Dunigan I, fought in WWII as part of the 509th Com-posite Group assigned to the B-29 under command of Paul Tibbetts (who dropped the Atom bomb on Japan).

His uncle, Henry Padgett, quit high school two weeks shy of grad-uation in order to sign up in the Army. He went on to serve in WWII as a Dukw (pronounced “Duck”) Driver and upon landing in Africa in 1943, fought all the way to Ger-many in 1945. Out of 500 men in his battalion (the 832nd Amphibi-ous Group), he was one of only three to survive. This family his-tory explains Jim III’s intense de-sire to continue carrying the torch in his family and serve his country any way he can. Rep. Purcell participated with WWII Veteran, Jim McNear, in the laying of the wreath. Jim, who is originally from Savannah, served in the U.S. Marine Corp 1st Marine Division in the South Pacific. He received his draft notice from Pres-

ident Roosevelt on his 18th birth-day in January of 1944. Instead of being mortified, Jim said, “It was really a great thing to get greetings from your president saying, ‘Hey, come serve your country.’” Jim was in the last campaign of the war and made beach landing

on Okinawa Easter Sunday morn-ing, April 1, 1945. He spent four months touring the islands, dur-ing which time, the Atomic Bomb was dropped ending the war. He soon came back home and joined the Marine Reserves Dog Company 10th Infantry Battalion. Then in August of 1950, the Korean War broke out and his unit was activated again. Thank-fully Jim didn’t have to go to Ko-rea, unlike most of his comrades in Dog Company. He shared his feelings towards serving saying, “It has been a great honor to serve my country and if I was able and young enough, I would do it again!” When asked how it makes him feel that some Americans have for-gotten the importance of this day, Jim stated, “When we forget our heritage, our country, and what this country stands for… it really irritates me to see people just takes it for granted… and young peo-ple… they just don’t know what it’s all about.” Jim and his wife Faye were blessed with a son, Frank, their only child. Frank wanted to fol-low in his father’s footsteps by also serving in the Marines, but his parents persuaded him not to join, simply because he is their only son. Loving his parents and respecting their input, he instead joined the 165th Air National Guard. This is yet another family whose heritage is deeply rooted in serving their country, a story that can be found in every state, city, and town. The day’s program continued on as the Savannah-Chatham Met-ro Police Department took care of

the Salute with Arms and the play-ing of Taps. Adjunct Garcia then invited everyone to the luncheon and the event closed with Ms. An-gela Jernigan singing “God Bless America” and Chaplain Livingston giving the Benediction. Afterwards, many hung around

to talk with friends and family. It was then that I asked WWII and Vietnam Vet, Hal Beddow, how he and his family typically spend Me-morial Day. He told me they actu-ally start the night before, celebrat-ing with friends in Emmet Park at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. They then celebrate actual Memo-rial Day by attending services at Bonaventure, finishing up the day by attending the luncheon pro-vided by American Legion Post 184. When the potential for a rainy day was mentioned, Mr. Beddow shared, “The Lord said “No it’s not going to rain… because this is my day.”” As I was beginning to leave, I stumbled upon a somber gentle-man, Vietnam Vet John Sansare. Mr. Sansare sat down at the grave of his very good friend, Henry Wheeler, and popped open a cold one for each of them which is a yearly tradition. With tear filled eyes, Mr. Sansare pointed at Hen-ry’s tombstone and said, “He was a good man.” One last reminder of the sacrifices made by so many men and women and the family and friends they leave behind. Many then went on to the lun-cheon provided by Thunderbolt Post 184 at their post. It is because of people like Jim Dunigan III, Jim McNear, Hal Beddow, John San-sare, and every other veteran with us and not that our country is kept united and protected, regular folks who will serve their country at any cost. If you missed this year’s Me-morial Day service at Bonaventure, plan on coming out next year as it is a must for all.

RANTS & RAVESBy Allison W. Hartley##Just a small RANT ... Am I the only one that is NOT shocked that Joran van der Sloot (longtime suspect in the disappear-ance and probable murder of 18 year old Natalee Holloway in Aruba in May of 2005), is the prime sus-pect in the horrific and brutal stab-bing death of a 21 year old woman in Lima? She had been stabbed to death, wrapped in a blanket and left in a hotel room that was regis-tered in van der Sloot’s name.He’s already fled the area and offi-cials are speculating that he is en route to Argentina. His guilt was evident in 2005 in the Holloway case but he wasn’t charged due to insufficient evidence (lack of a body), and not to mention that his father was a well known, powerful attorney.What a sad and unjustified tragedy in both cases. Regarding Natalee’s disappearance, van der Sloot has confessed on several different oc-casions in detail. However, because his stories show inconsistencies, he has never formally been charged. I really wish that someone could help me understand that. I need

to know why he wasn’t sent to his maker in the town square in 2005 ...#But a!couple of BIG!RAVES ... Many of you remember my cousin, Waylon Whitley, and his column “Northern Lights” that we published weekly here at The Spirit several years ago. I know that he made an impact because we still have people occasionally ask us about him. I am excited to tell ya’ll that Waylon has given us permis-sion to run a wonderful, heartfelt prayer that he has written recently as our spiritual message this week! I hope you all enjoy it - it’s power-ful! The front page story this week was written by my brother-in-law, Rich Leamer. He and my sister are both full-time active US Air Force stationed in Germany. Rich re-counts his experience at the Me-morial Day Celebration held in the Netherlands,# and describes it as being “an unforgettable honor.” I hope his story touches you all as much as it did me. Memorial Day should not be observed just one day a year, and is not just a day to cook on the grill,

float in the lazy river and shop the big sales. It is a profound realiza-tion that deserves reverence and should be observed each and every day. After all, everything that we are afforded as Americans is be-cause of their sacrifice. Freedom is nearly everything ... but free.

Thank you for reading The Spirit! Hope you all have a won-derful and blessed week. May God continue to Bless America.#“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

~ James D. Miles

School books have been put away for a few months and chil-dren in Effingham County are looking forward to the lazy days of summer which could include go-ing to summer camps. But before kids head out for summer fun, par-ents are encouraged to make sure that all immunizations are up to date. “We want children to enjoy a happy, healthy summer and one way to ensure that is to get them immunized against potentially dangerous diseases,” said Coast-al Health District Immunization

Coordinator, Marianne Pappas. “Whether it’s whooping cough or H1N1 flu, children need to be pro-tected, especially when they’re go-ing to be in close contact with a lot of their peers.” The Effingham County Health Department can help parents de-termine if their child’s immuniza-tions are current. The Health De-partment has vaccine available for children who need to be immu-nized. “People don’t usually think about immunizing their children this time of year but it’s a good idea

because not only will it help protect them during summer break but it also helps parents avoid the back-to-school rush to get children im-munized in the fall,” said Pappas. Daycare and school-aged chil-dren are required by State law to get certain immunizations before entering school; however, vacci-nating young people against addi-tional diseases, such as the H1N1 flu, is encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion, the Georgia Department of Community Health, and the Coast-al Health District.

MAKE SURE CHILDREN ARE UP-TO-DATE ON IMMUNIZATIONS BEFORE ATTENDING SUMMER CAMP

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.

“When Jesus wept, the falling tear in mercy flowed beyond all bound. When Jesus groaned, a trembling fear seized all the guilty world around.”Words: The New England Psalm Singer, 1770Music: When Jesus Wept, William Billings (American composer, 1746-1800)

As Christians, we are called to do very important work: love oth-ers, minister to the suffering, pray for those in need, rejoice in God’s abundant creation. We are chal-lenged to open our hearts in the face of rejection, like Jesus did. It’s easy to love people we feel compas-sion for--a sick child, for example--but how do we love those who may hate us? In my own life I have been both liked and disliked, as we all have. More times than not, admittedly, I have opened my heart to those who liked me and closed my heart to those who were angry at or dis-approving of me. It’s human nature. Instincts kick in, and we shut down to pro-tect ourselves. Today during my morning prayer time, I found myself saying again familiar words I have said of-ten in the past few weeks. “God, open my heart,” I pleaded. When I say this prayer, I focus on the sensations in my heart area, feel the warmth there, and envision it opening and expanding. When my heart is open I can receive God’s love. This is what I normally feel when I do this prayer. I feel connected to God and more loving toward the people in my life. Today, however, I felt some-thing else. My mind turned to those peo-

ple in my life who have rejected me despite my best efforts to win them over. I felt deeply sad, disap-pointed, a little angry. “What do I do with this?” I thought. Then a still, small voice said to me, “Keep your heart open to them.” We all have these people in our lives. They exist in our families, so-cial circles, and work places. They push our buttons and challenge us in sometimes primal ways. My own instinct is to shut down by getting angry, feeling hurt, or any of the endless varieties of self protection-ism I’ve learned over the years. And then I think about Jesus. How sad he must have felt when the people he loved “beyond all bound” rejected him in such a pro-found way! I often picture Jesus as the ultimate loving figure, but I rarely stop to consider that with such an open heart he must have also felt a range of dark emotions around his rejection: sadness, dis-appointment, frustration. The pain he felt was not just physical but emotional, too. Hymns are one of the great blessings of our spiritual tradition.

I find tremendous solace in them. Billings’ wonderful setting of the text evokes the mix of pain and compassion Jesus must have felt as he hung on the cross, waiting to die. Literally, the text refers not to the crucifixion but to the death of Lazarus (John 11). However, we can apply the sentiment here also. Jesus did not weep because he was sad for himself. The “falling tear” flowed in mercy--even for those who hated him. At this year’s evening service on Good Friday, the choristers sang Billings’ “When Jesus Wept” from the loft at the end of the service. A silence fell over the church. Je-sus was no longer the triumphant figure entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday but a broken, rejected--and deeply sad--man, crucified by peo-ple he loved. Yet his heart remained open. I pray that God will open my own heart so that I may receive love and, like Jesus, remain open and accepting toward those who may dislike me. Amen.

The Open Heart: A Meditation on “When Jesus Wept”

The Church Bulletin Board

The Picnic A Jewish Rabbi and a Catholic Priest met at the town’s annual 4th of July picnic. Old friends, they began their usual banter. “This baked ham is really delicious,” the priest teased the rabbi. “You really ought to try it. I know it’s against your religion, but I can’t understand why such a wonderful food should be for-bidden! You don’t know what you’re missing. You just haven’t lived until you’ve tried Mrs. Hall’s prized Virginia Baked Ham. Tell me, Rabbi, when are you going to break down and try it?” The rabbi looked at the priest with a big grin, and said, “At your wedding.” ___________________________________

Ladies first: Ms. Handel, Why would you condemn a man on hearsay? Is he not entitled to a writ of Habeas Corpus? What is your point? Mary, the Mother of Jesus gave birth to Jesus Christ at the age of fourteen, the Father, God. Mr. Oxendine, My mortgage insurance increased about 25% in one year. What part did you play in this? You are the Insurance Com-missioner, are you not? Mr. Johnson, Eric, I have known you for a long time. You have always been Pro-Govern-ment. Did you, or did you not, say that the Government would lose control if a consumer tax was in-

stalled instead of property taxes? The Government is not supposed to be in control of the people, the people are supposed to be in con-trol of the Government. The U.S. Constitution is in place to protect the rights of the people, not Gov-ernment. The 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that, “We the People will be secure in our possessions.” Any tax, such as property tax, abrogates this protec-tion. Mr. McBerry and Mr. Deal, You appear to be what this coun-try needs. But, are you accessible? Where are your phone numbers? Are you answering your phone calls? If you are not accessible now, you will be even less accessible af-ter you are elected. In the meetings

that are held, everything is orches-trated. Are you politicians all alike? It appears that all that politicians want is our money and vote. No in-put. Your minds are already made up. You each have your own per-sonal agenda, you are textbook politicians. About States Rights: The 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitu-tion states that the rights of the U.S. Citizen that are not protected by the U.S. Constitution will be States Rights, which are limited. What the citizens of this country want is Constitutional Law. The 28th Amendment to our Constitution should repeal all ex-isting taxes and replace them with a consumer tax. Only then will We The People be in charge.

A Few Words On Our Candidates For Governor

The Spirit welcomes guest editorials from our readers, in response topreviously published stories, or on matters of concerns to our communities.

By Cal Thomas Tribune Media Services

Three modern myths have been sold to the American people: the promise of a transparent admin-istration (President Obama); the promise of a more ethical Congress (Speaker Pelosi); and the myth of “global warming,” or climate change. The first two are daily proving suspect and now the third is sink-ing with greater force than melt-ing icebergs, if they were melting, which many believe they are not. After spending years promot-ing “global warming,” the media are beginning to turn in the face of growing evidence that they have been wrong. The London Times re-cently reported: “Britain’s premier scientific institution is being forced to review its statements on climate change after a rebellion by mem-bers who question mankind’s con-tribution to rising temperatures.” It gets worse, or better, depend-ing on your perspective. Newsweek magazine, which more than 30 years ago promoted global cool-ing and a new ice age -- and more recently has been drinking the global warming Kool-Aid -- head-lined a story, “Uncertain Science: Bickering and Defensive, Climate Researchers Have Lost the Public’s Trust.” Newsweek does its best to cling to its increasingly discredited doctrine, but the growing body of contrary evidence only adds to the public’s disbelief. In Canada, the polar bear -- which has been used by global warming promoters to put a cuddly face on the issue -- is in danger of not being endangered any longer. CBC News reported that the polar bear’s designation as a “species of special concern” has been suspend-ed “while the government reviews the polar bear’s status and decides

whether to renew the classification or change it.” The New York Times recently lamented “global warmism’s loss of credibility” in a story about hun-dreds of “environmental activists who met to ponder this question: “if the scientific consensus on cli-mate change has not changed, why have so many people turned away from the idea that human activity is warming the planet?” The “consen-sus” never was a consensus. Most of us may not have gotten an “A” in science, but we can sense when we are being bamboozled. The German online news mag-azine “Focus” recently carried a story, “Warm Times Will Soon Be Over!” Commenting on the “new NASA high temperature record,” which may be set, the magazine blames it on El Nino. Meteorolo-gists, like Joe D’Aleo of The Weath-er Channel, are publicly distancing themselves from the false doctrine of global warming. D’Aleo says, “We’ll have La Nina conditions be-fore the summer is over, and it will intensify further through the fall and winter. Thus we’ll have cooler temperatures for the next couple of years.” Remember the scare ignited in 2007 by supposed melting Arctic ice caps? The Star Canada says a new analysis shows that the appar-ent change was the result of “shift-ing winds,” while an expedition last year to the North Pole discov-ered the ice “100 percent thicker than expected.” Much of this information -- and more -- is available at the useful Website www.climatedepot.com. It is a given that America needs new sources of energy. Environ-mentalists have inhibited efforts at exploration by supporting policies that have forced some domestic exploration too far offshore (thus increasing chances of an ecological

disaster as is occurring in the Gulf of Mexico). Instead of trying to sell us a dubious doctrine at an estimated cost of $100 billion a year world-wide (so far), environmentalists would have done themselves and the world more good had they chosen a different strategy, such as not sending oil money to countries that want to destroy us. This would have increased our patriotic spirit and had the additional benefit of not only diversifying our energy supply, but also depriving our en-emies of money they use to under-write terrorism. Watch for the hardcore “glob-al warming” cultists to continue clinging to their beliefs; but also watch increasing numbers of sci-entists and eventually politicians to abandon this once “certain” faith and to look for other ways to con-trol our lives. In that pursuit, the left never quits. Rather than ac-knowledge their error, they will go on to make new mistakes, knowing they will never be held account-able.
