Hollywood director seeking early out; sheriff denies deal By Derby Waters STAFF WRITER A Dec. 23 hearing scheduled for Wayne County Superior Court on a motion to re- lease Holly- wood film di- rector Randall Miller failed to material- ize. For now, Miller’s at- torneys and Wayne County Sheriff John Carter remain in sharp disagreement over state- ments contained within the motion. Miller was convicted of felony involuntary manslaughter and crimi- nal trespass in the Feb. 20 death of camera assis- tant Sarah Jones, who was struck by a train on the Doctortown trestle. Jones was part of a crew that was filming Mid- night Rider, a film about Georgia music legend Greg Allman. Miller has been serv- ing his sentence in the Wayne County Jail since March, but his attorneys say that his health is failing and that he should be released. The motion to modify the sentence “asks the Court to reduce the custodial sentence imposed be- cause of his [Miller’s] model behavior … and because of his current deteriorating health.” In arguing for Miller’s sentence to be reduced to the time served, Miller’s team of attorneys, led by Ed Garland, stated that it had been a pre-sen- tencing agree- ment that Miller would serve only one of the two years of incar- ceration to which he was sentenced. Garland said that Carter had agreed to a two-for-one compu- tation of the time served if Miller was a model prisoner. “First of all, starting with 10 years probation [stated in the motion], that’s not true. He was sentenced to 10 years with two years incarcer- ation and eight years probation,” Carter told Deadline Hollywood. The sheriff told The Press-Sentinel earlier this month that he was under no obligation to grant early release to Miller. He said that it is up to his discretion to allow model prisoners to be released early. State law actually allows a sheriff to grant release up to a four-to-one com- putation of the sentence to award good behavior. The sheriff said that he has granted several model prisoners to be re- leased under what is commonly called “two- for-one.” “I could give him [Miller] two-for-one, but I have not decided that yet,” the sheriff said. Carter noted that two- for-one is normally granted for model pris- oners convicted of a mis- Muslims live simply at Mecca Circle By Drew Davis STAFF WRITER The first thing that strikes a visitor to the Muslim community at Mecca Circle is the feeling of normalcy. Behind a farm gate, the dirt road leads to a small collection of manufactured homes and a couple of medium-sized block buildings (a mosque and a schoolhouse). In the middle of the buildings, a child re- motely flies a toy air- plane. Several gray cats move easily among the structures. There are no walls around the community, and no fence extends from the front gate. A picket fence does sur- round a small cemetery toward the back of the property, while a wire fence keeps a couple of small goats penned in behind the home of the community’s leader, Hajj Muhammad Yusuf Kareem. In short, the commu- nity is a far cry from the images conjured up when some people sometimes refer to Wayne County’s “Mus- lim compound” off Lanes Bridge Road near the Appling County line.

Local student was in deadly Texas tornado By Derby Waters STAFF WRITER When Madilyn Harrell traveled to Garland, Texas, last week for her brother Greg’s wedding, she ex- pected to see some kicked- up heels during the cele- bration. What she didn’t expect was to be in the middle of Mother Na- ture’s kicking up her heels. In fact, there was any- thing but celebration as an F-4 tornado tore through the Dallas sub- urb, gouging a path of death and destruction. In that path was the home of Madilyn’s grandfather. And inside that house was the young Wayne County High School senior. Harrell and her cousin Leah had left the wed- ding early to avoid an approaching storm. While her parents re- mained there, about an hour away, the two youngsters returned to the house in Garland. “We were standing at the front door watching because the wind was really blowing,” Harrell said. That was about the same time that a limb tore through the roof and knifed into the kitchen. “We ran from there to the bathtub,” Harrell said.

SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ARE IN EFFECT.
Good-bye to 2015 and four friendsAs I reflect on the past 30
days, I think of four friends whoanswered Heaven’s roll call dur-ing December:
Nancy LarsonShe was a contemporary of
my late mother, Marjorie. HerOlympic-gold-medalist son,David, brought glory to ourhometown in 1984. In my senioryear, 1965-1966, Mrs. Larsonopened my mind in her psychol-ogy class. In those days, the po-litical-correctness police weren’tpatrolling the halls of WayneCounty High School. She said,“One thing to always rememberabout ‘crazy’ people is that theyalways think everyone else is‘crazy.’”
Today, we’d say that in asofter, more sensitive tone.Still, the message is the same.Some of you probably think thatI’m “not quite right.” However,I’m smart enough to know thatMrs. Larson was a splendidteacher. And we stayed friendsfor 50 years.
Margaret DentAnother gifted Wayne
County teacher was MargaretDent. As a young widow, sheforged ahead, nurturing her fivechildren—Marie, Jamie, Dou-glas, Louis and George. Whenshe retired after 34 years, shedidn’t sigh and settle down in arocking chair.
Mrs. Dent shared her energyand talents as a mother, grand-mother, great-grandmother,community volunteer andfriend. Travel was her passion,too. She made laps aroundAmerica’s 50 states and multi-
ple points onthe globe,too. TheDent familyjoke was:“Where’sMother thisweek?”
I knew herbest throughmy highschool class-mate, Marie.And if you
knew Margaret Dent, you lovedand admired the difference shemade in the world during her95 years.
Thomas StricklandWe lived next door to his
dad, Leroy. If you thoughtThomas was a fun-loving char-acter, he got it honestly fromLeroy. When I think aboutThomas, I flash back to thedays he scrubbed the love bugsoff my windshield at Lucky’sService Station while comment-ing on world affairs.
Then there were those Sun-day-morning BrotherhoodBreakfast gatherings at FirstBaptist Church. Thomas wasfinicky about how we servedourselves at his station—theBunn coffeemaker. “Pour fromthe top pot.” If you forgot,Thomas would remind you: Ifyou lifted the bottom pot, thecoffee would drip and sizzle onthe burner.And I hope Thomas wore his
favorite color of socks to the
Pearly Gates. Grinning, he’dsay, “I never get my socks mixedup. I only buy one color—red.”
Dorothy KenerlyThe Kenerlys’ backyard cor-
nered with our backyard. Awell-traveled path cut throughthe hedge to their house. As lit-tle ones, Alan, Emily and Ericwere always anxious to seewhat was going on inside PoppaJohn and D-Dot’s workshop.

THE P-S OPINION� � �
Looking back,looking ahead
The Roman god Janus—who is widelycredited as the namesake for the month ofJanuary—takes the concept of being two-faced to a higher level.Unlike other Roman gods, such asJupiter (the equivalent of the Greek Zeus)and Mars (the equivalent of the GreekAres), Janus was a distinctly Roman godwith no Greek equivalent. He is consid-ered to be the god of beginnings and tran-sitions and thus of doors. His two faceslook toward both the past and the future.Like Janus, we look toward both thepast and the future at this time of year.We reflect on the achievements and lossesof the past year, and we revel in the op-portunity for new beginnings and new op-portunities that the new year brings.Just as every ending signals a new be-ginning, so too does the past year holdlessons that can help us navigate our waythrough the new year. Thus looking backand looking ahead become intertwined,for as George Santayana warned us,“Those who cannot remember the past arecondemned to repeat it.”Let us cherish our memories of 2015,but more than that, let us learn fromthem to make 2016 a brighter year thatwill leave us with even greater memoriesfrom the next 12 months.
Celebrateresponsibly
It’s customary to celebrate the coming ofa new year. But it’s important to do so re-sponsibly.Some people may stay at home, watch-ing the ball drop in Times Square whileRyan Seacrest (or some other celebrityhost) smiles amiably during the playingof “Auld Land Syne.” Nothing wrong withthat.Some may even turn in early, confidentthat the new year will arrive whether ithas a formal welcoming committee or not.There’s nothing with that, either.And some may join with others for amore festive atmosphere and a liveliercelebration. That’s fine, too—as long asbeing festive doesn’t turn into being reck-less.For those who choose to celebrate withadult beverages, though, care should beexercised. Those planning robust celebra-tions should either stay put or have a des-ignated driver.Drinking and driving can quickly trans-form a celebration into a tragedy. Andthat’s no way to greet the new year.So by all means, celebrate if you’re so in-clined. But if you celebrate with alcoholicbeverages, remember that being underthe influence and being behind the wheelshould be mutually exclusive conditions.(And don’t text while driving, either.There’s nothing you need to say that’smore important than paying attention tothe road.)

Last week, I shared Elizabeth Car-swell’s amazing six-month journey offaith, hope and love. Christmas Eve, Iwas copied on this e-mail from her fa-ther, Don, a 1965 graduate of WayneCounty High School. The Rev. EdBacon, a classmate of Don’s and mu-tual friend, has in his congregation Dr.Stephen Forman, Elizabeth’s doctor atthe City of Hope hospital in Duarte,Calf. Don wrote:
Dear Ed,Please give Stephen Forman an
extra big hug for me. He called Eliza-
beth just now with the wonderful newsthat the marrow biopsy he did yester-day came back showing no “blasts”(cancer cells) in her marrow. He is, in-deed, a gifted physician and healer.Thanks for all copied for prayers.They worked!
Merry Christmas to all,Don
And all God’s children sang, inthanksgiving, “Hallelujah!”
Elizabeth Carswell gets special Christmas gift
elizabeth Carswellholds her son, Hudson,who was born on Aug. 24in the middle of his mom’sfour rounds of intensechemotherapy for acutemyeloid leukemia (AML).
When it comes to politicians,there was a lot to criticize thisyear. It would be wrong, how-ever, to end the year without not-ing some people who deservecommendations for what they ac-complished in 2015.For example, there is State
Rep. David Stover, a conserva-tive Republican legislator fromCoweta County. Stover dis-played courage and indepen-dence when he stood up to hisown party’s leadership on its toplegislative priority, the gasoline-tax increase. Gov. Nathan Deal and House
Speaker David Ralston, amongothers, wanted to raise themotor-fuel tax to pay for highwayconstruction. Stover noted thatin an improving economy, taxrevenues were already growingby nearly a billion dollars a year.The state should use that newmoney to fix roads rather thanimpose a major tax increase, heargued.“So many times here in the
capitol, we forget that we’reelected to serve those thatelected us to these positions,”Stover said in a stern speech crit-icizing the governor. “In fact,
we’re pres-sured toonly haveone branchof govern-ment.Somehow,we havelost ourway in thelegislativeprocess.”The tax
increasepassed, but
Stover stuck to his guns on theissue. You won’t see many politi-cians willing to take a stand thatis so unpopular with the powersthat be.Tom Newsome is a financial
analyst at the Public ServiceCommission who has tried tokeep the state’s consumers frombeing hit by higher electricitybills. Several years ago, Newsome
recommended that the PSCadopt a risk-sharing policy whereGeorgia Power’s shareholderswould have to absorb some of the
potential cost increases associ-ated with building nuclear reac-tors at Plant Vogtle.Georgia Power didn’t like the
idea, and the commissionerssided with the utility, ignoringtheir own staff’s recommenda-tion. The projected cost of theVogtle reactors has subsequentlyincreased by roughly $4 billionfrom initial estimates, and thatwill probably be passed along tocustomers in the form of higherbills.More recently, Georgia Power
ran up more than $600 million inlosses from trying to predict thefuture prices of natural gas onthe commodities market (theutility buys a lot of gas to run itsgenerators). The lost money wasrecovered through the monthlybills of Georgia Power customers. Newsome recommended that
the PSC put some restrictions onGeorgia Power’s commodities-market activities in an attemptto hold down the size of these fi-nancial losses. Georgia Powerobjected to the restrictions. The commissioners once again
ignored their own staff’s recom-mendations and voted to allowGeorgia Power to continue bet-
ting on the future prices of nat-ural gas.Newsome and other PSC
staffers have tried to hold downelectricity bills for consumers.Unfortunately, their bosses onthe commission sometimes ne-glect to listen to them.Ted Terry is the youthful
mayor of Clarkston, which hasbecome one of America’s most di-verse cities because so manyrefugees have found homesthere. Terry has pushed backagainst demands by the governorand other politicians to ban theresettlement of Syrian refugees. Terry points out that Clarkston
has been a destination for Syrianand Muslim refugees for manyyears, and the city has not seenany bombings or other terroristactivities. Quite the opposite, infact–the municipality has at-tracted national attention for itsefforts to assimilate refugee fam-ilies into our culture.Syrian families continue to be
resettled in Clarkston. Some-how, Georgia has survived. Finally, I want to call attention
to the lobbyists who work fornonprofit organizations that tryto help children and low-income
families. These people don’thave the resources that corpo-rate lobbyists do, which meansthey can’t afford to wine and dinelegislators at fancy Atlantarestaurants. What they can do is persuade
lawmakers to put some money inthe budget for programs thatclean up the environment andhelp families who don’t havehealth insurance or who struggleto obtain food and shelter.These are groups such as
Voices for Georgia’s Children,Georgians for a Healthy Future,Families First, the Riverkeepers,Georgia Watch, GreenLaw, AllAbout Developmental Disabili-ties, the Georgia Council onAging, and many other public-in-terest organizations. They provide a voice for the
powerless who don’t have theirown lobbyists. We should thankthem for that.

OPINION
Don't hinder workof service dogsI am writing on behalf of my hus-
band, Sean, who is a disabled vet-eran and has a service dog for mo-bility and other issues that he has toface daily.My husband has frequent falls
due to MS and needed a larger dogthat is capable of helping him to his
feet; therefore, we selected a GreatDane. VA would not pay for eitherthe training or purchase of the dog,so we went out of pocket to raise andteach Tuesday, his service dog, our-selves. We thought these were thebiggest challenges that we wouldface, but we were extremely short-sighted.Great Danes are few and far be-
tween in Jesup, and this makesTuesday quite the spectacle while
we're shopping around town. Theseare a few of the situations we havehad to deal with:People follow Tuesday throughout
a store, snapping photos on theircell phones, and when my husbandturns around, they hide in the nextaisle. Tuesday's main purpose is to help
my husband keep his balance andprevent falls, but she cannot do thisif someone is constantly trying to
pet her. When she is in her vest,that means she's on the job. Howwould you feel if a doctor was per-forming CPR on your family mem-ber, but people kept asking him tostop and give them a hug?The final group I would like to dis-
cuss are the "Fred Sanfords." Thisgroup will scream and grab theirchests and feign a heart attack.They act as though Tuesday is sec-onds from tearing them into pieces
when in reality she isn't so much aslooking in their direction.These are only a few of the reac-
tions my husband deals withweekly. Please try to be more mind-ful of service dogs and their ownersbecause he and other disabled indi-viduals are fighting battles that youknow nothing about.

MUSLIMSContinued from page 1A
A presence in WayneA New York native,
Kareem leads a smallgroup of U.S.-bornAfrican-American Mus-lims—primarily fami-lies, mostly related, andfairly even distributedbetween men andwomen—who movedhere about 20 years ago.The group had moved
to Jacksonville, Fla., in1986 but soon startedlooking for their ownproperty. They wantedto leave urban areasand raise their familiesin a rural environment.So they turned their at-tention to southeastGeorgia.“We’re not very afflu-
ent,” Kareem says.“Land in Florida is very,very expensive.”It’s natural for the
members of the group tolive close to each otherand do things together,he explains.“As Muslims, we pray
five times a day,” hepoints out.He adds, “Once we
moved here, we wantedto be transparent.”To that end, the group
sponsored a program atthe Wayne County Li-brary to introducethemselves and explaintheir beliefs. Less thana handful of peopleshowed up, though.Members of the group
can be seen around thecommunity—for exam-ple, shopping. Andthough the children arehome-schooled, Ka-reem’s sister, SaadiaAbdul Kareem, is quickto point out that theyare heavily involved incounty recreation pro-grams. Some residentshave also been involvedwith a local boxing gym.In addition, Mecca Cir-cle residents can be seenat festival booths. Andthey take part in fooddrives and have sup-ported the Good Samar-itan Center.
Muslim beliefsThe local group con-
sists of Sunni (Sufi)Muslims and is affili-ated with Muslims ofAmerica.“Muslims believe in
one Almighty Creator,”Kareem says.Muslims call the Cre-
ator Allah, though Ka-reem notes that Arabic-speaking Christiansand Jews also use thisname for God.“Jesus is considered
very dear to us,” Ka-reem says, explainingthat Muslims see Jesusas one of the prophetsleading up to Muham-mad, seen by Muslimsas the last prophet ofIslam (and by non-Mus-lims as Islam’s founder).Kareem is quick to
condemn “any form ofextremism,” and of radi-cal Muslim terrorists,he says simply, “They’re
not Muslims.”In fact, the terrorists
have killed more Mus-lims than Americans,Kareem points out.The extremists have
“hijacked” his religion,Kareem says, and wantto divide Muslims andother Americans.“Inside America, there
are 6 million Muslims,primarily African-Amer-ican,” he notes.The idea that most
Muslims would want toharm America is ludi-crous, according to Ka-reem, because Muslimssee America as a placewhere they can practicetheir religion freely.That patriotism can
be seen in the patrioticsongs, such as “Americathe Beautiful,” whoselyrics hang on the wallsof the community’sschoolhouse. It can beseen in Kareem’s copiesof The Islamic Post, aMuslim newspaper thatfeatures such headlinesas “ISIS terrorism islike a cancer; it can onlybe cured by unitingMuslims and Chris-tians.” And it can beheard in Kareem’s voiceas he talks about howhis late father, a Viet-nam veteran, was partof the generation thatintegrated the U.S. mil-itary.
IslamophobiaBecause some people
do stereotype Muslims,though, Kareem andother members of hiscommunity are sensi-tive to the problem of Is-lamophobia.According to Kareem,
the local community hasgood relations with thesheriff, the neighborsand local businesses,and anti-Muslim behav-ior directed at them hasbeen minimal.Yet they do fear a dou-
ble standard in how peo-ple perceive news aboutMuslisms. While terror-ist incidents perpe-trated by Muslims arewell-publicized, manyAmericans may be lessfamiliar with violencedirected at Muslims.For example, Robert
Doggart, who ran forCongress in Tennesseejust last year, has beenindicted for master-minding a plot to attacka Muslim community inHancock, N.Y. (The Is-lamic Post refers to peo-ple such as Doggart asthe “American Tal-iban.”)Those predisposed to
demonize Muslimswould probably be sur-prised to see how com-monplace the lifestyle ofWayne’s Muslim com-munity really is.While the children are
home-schooled, they at-tend a schoolhouse de-signed, according to Ka-reem, to provide themwith a “more formal”learning atmosphere.The classrooms areadorned with standardschool posters—frommultiplication tablesand maps of the solarsystem to inspirationalmessages—and theMuslim communityworks with the WayneCounty school system toensure a strong curricu-lum. In fact, some of thechildren have gradu-ated and gone on tohigher education.Kareem himself is a
bank official and self-professed “techie.” Mod-ern technology allowshim to work out of asmall building next tohis home, and he has togo to his bank office inJacksonville only a cou-ple of times a year.Sitting back with a
cup of tea, Kareem, withhis siblings’ help, triesto answer every ques-tion posed by a visitingreporter. Finally, whenasked what else hewants people to know,he looks thoughtful.Then he says softly, “Ijust want the people ofWayne County to feel atease.”

Wayne County Sher-iff John Carter doesn’tlaughwhen hetalksaboutthe“bun-ker” onMeccaCircle.Those well-ac-
quainted with the vet-eran lawman, though,can hear the shadowof a chuckle in hisvoice when he tellsthe story in his mat-ter-of-fact law-en-forcement tone.A caller had re-
ported that a bunkerwas being installed atthe small Muslimcommunity. Carterdutifully went toMecca Circle to checkout the report, and hequickly found the“bunker” that some-one had spotted.It was a septic tank.Such calls are noth-
ing new for Carter.His office (like ThePress-Sentinel) regu-larly receives callsabout the “terroristtraining camp” in
Wayne County.These calls mostly
come from outside thecounty—usually fromsomeone who, whilesurfing the Internet,has just found adecade-old right-wingreport on accusationsleveled at Muslims ofAmerica communitiesby a far-right Christ-ian organization. (Thecallers typicallyhaven’t seen the laterreports, by reputablenews organizations,that discredited thoseaccusations.)Of Mecca Circle,
Carter says flatly, “Wehaven’t had any prob-lems ... of any kind.”He continues,
“They’re pretty muchfamily-oriented. ...Some people call it acompound. It’s morelike a community.”The last conversa-
tion he had with rep-resentatives of thecommunity wasprompted by theirconcerns over anti-Muslim behaviorbeing reported else-where.“They get the same
protection as anyoneelse in the county,”Carter says.

demeanor. Miller’s con-viction is for a felonycharge.“Mr. Miller pled guilty
to the charges … [and]was sentenced to 10years probation. A spe-cial condition of his pro-bation was that he servetwo years in the WayneCounty Detention Cen-ter with time to be com-puted by the Sheriff whocommitted to a two-for-one computation of ser-vice,” the motion stated.Carter disputed that
statement and said thathe had not made anykind of an agreementwith Miller’s attorneys.He said that all he hadagreed to was to houseMiller in the jail for twoyears.“He [the sheriff] may
not remember what tookplace in the pre-trialconference and in thehallway when this wasnegotiated. My memoryis that he was in thepre-trial conference, butI’m not sure on that.There was a meeting in
the hallway with himpresent, the DA, theADA, two other attor-neys (Miller’s attorneyAmanda Clark Palmerwas one) and myself,and that was the agree-ment reached, and hespecifically said hewould do that,” Garlandtold Deadline.No mention of a two-
for-one agreement isfound in the court sen-tencing of Miller.Carter agreed that
Miller has been a modelprisoner. He said he hastaught GED classes toother inmates and hasbeen helpful in puttingtogether a film aboutthe local drug court. Hesaid that Miller had ob-tained some very expen-sive film equipment thathas been donated to thecounty.“To date, Mr. Miller
has completed 1,955hours of community ser-vice, including teachingthe GED classes andworking on the DrugCourt project,” accord-
ing to the motion.The motion states that
53-year-old Miller has“inexplicably” gained 39pounds in recent weeksand has developed ele-vated blood pressure,swelling of his legs, per-sistent cough and short-ness of breath. His at-torneys say that doctorswho were consulted saythat Miller is in need of“an extensive cardiacworkup.”The hearing on the
motion was canceled,and attorneys haveagreed to make their ar-guments in writtenbriefs, Wayne Countycourt clerk Betty Taylortold The Press-Sentinelthis week. She addedthat an additional peti-tion had been filed ask-ing that the court notconsider the signaturesof a petition onmoveon.org. That docu-ment has more than5,100 signatures ofthose who say thatMiller should remain be-hind bars.

borhood woman toldthem to leave the areabecause a second tor-nado was believed to beapproaching. She saidthey moved about fiveblocks to a safer area,where the damage wasnot so bad.Harrell said she called
her mother, who was inthe middle of themother-son dance at the
wedding, and excitedlyreported what she hadbeen through.“She said she would
never let me leave any-thing early again,” Har-rell said.Monday Harrell was
back in Jesup. She saidthat her grandfatherhad moved furnitureand household itemsinto two rooms of hishome and was preparedto stay at the damagedhouse until it can be re-
paired. Leah, who liveswith him, was alsothere.The massive storm
took the lives of 11 peo-ple in the Dallas area,eight of them in Gar-land. Investigators saidthat winds had reachedmore than 180 mph andwas the first storm ofsuch magnitude in thatarea of Texas since the1930s.
this photo was taken by Madilyn Harrell’s cousin Leah. Above is an exterior viewof their grandfather’s damaged house, which the girls were in when an F4 tornadostruck the Gardlan, Texas, area.
Above is one of the damaged bedrooms after the tor-nado. The roof has been partially ripped off and insu-lation covers the bedroom furniture. Although thehouse was badly damaged, neither of the girls presentwas hurt.

CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS� � �
What to do when your star trek ends with nothing?Matthew 2:1-12Our conduct is usually
controlled by our expecta-tions.We docertainthings inanticipa-tion ofcertainresults.But whathappenswhenyou’vebeen fol-lowing astar with the idea in mindthat it will lead you tosomething spectacularbut, instead, it leads youto something humble andunassuming? What do you do when,
after dreaming that youwill find a pot of gold atthe end of your rainbow,you end up beside a rust-ing, empty pot? Instead of finding the
pomp and ceremony of aregal king in a palace, thewise men that followed apromising bright star forso long found themselvesin a humble dwelling witha little toddler in the armsof his teenaged mother. Think of the disappoint-
ment those magi musthave experienced whentheir journey ended up inthe little town of Bethle-hem! They had stopped at the
most logical place to find aKing--the Palace inJerusalem. But the onlyking they found wasHerod, who, after a briefconsultation with hissages, redirected them tonowheresville. And now what? The star
they had been followingstopped suddenly and hov-ered over a peasantdwelling. Surely thiscouldn’t be the place.Their expectations hadbeen so high! How do wisemen react when they fol-low a shining star faith-fully, only to see theirfondest hopes dashed andtheir desires unfulfilled?Although Wise Men may
not find exactly what theyanticipate, they do severalthings that we ought toemulate. First of all, they…1. Rejoice with exceed-
ing great joy. We tend togauge happiness on get-
ting things we want or ex-periencing certain plea-sures. It is illusive andtransitory. Joy, however, isan inner, deep-seatedemotion that is not basedon outward circum-stances, things or peo-ple. The world can’t givejoy. If your shining starcauses your heart to leapfor joy despite the long, ar-duous journey and regard-less of the plainness of theplace where it leads, em-brace it. Get off your highhorse (or camel, as thecase may be), and enter inexpectantly. What youfind inside may be far bet-ter than a pot of gold. Infact, it may move you toopen your treasures andinvest yourself in some-thing that the world viewsas not at all promising sofar as yielding a return isconcerned. They who arewise will not only findcause for rejoicing whentheir star stops suddenly,they will also …2. Fall on their face and
worship God. Wise menalways believe, “God issomewhere in this situa-tion.” Whether that wiseperson is Joseph in prison,Moses in the desert, Jobon an ash heap, David inthe wilderness, Daniel in alion’s den, or Paul inprison, he looks for God’sfingerprints, and, findingthem, he worships. Thedifference between a weakChristian and a strongChristian is right here.Weak Christians see Godonly in the good and thegrand and the place ofblessing, but the maturebelievers see God also inthe bad and the mundaneand the place of cursing.Worship is not predicatedon “Look what the Lordhas done,” but on “I seethe Lord, and he is highand lifted up.” Full of joyand with a heart of wor-ship, the wise will …3. Offer the very best
they have. When we findsomething humble and or-dinary instead of grandand sensational, we maybe tempted to hold backfrom giving our best. WiseMen don’t give any less be-cause it is a baby in apeasant house as opposedto a King on a throne.They give their all, andthey offer their very best,
withholding nothing. Aswise men open their trea-sures and present them toChrist, they …4. Experience a change
of direction in life that willspare them a lot ofheartache down theroad. Have you ever had a“trails end” experiencethat humbled andchanged you? After theWise Men followed theStar to Bethlehem, theyreceived a divine mandate--a summons to change di-rection. As a result, theirlives were spared. Theywere saved from being de-stroyed.During this Christmas
season, we need to have afresh realization of whatGod did for us. The greatand glorious God of all cre-ation allowed Himself tobe born of a virgin. Helooked through humaneyes so that He would un-derstand and relate to us.Simeon and Anna clung
to their star of hopethrough anxious days andlong nights of waiting.Notwithstanding the “twoturtledoves” offered by apoor young couple with an8-day-old babe in arms,their eyes beheld the sal-vation of the Lord. Lowly shepherds had an
angelic visitation thatburst through the dark-ness of their Judean nightand directed them to amanger scene where ababe lay wrapped in swad-dling clothes. And whenthe wise men followed hisStar, it led them to a littlechild who was destined tobe the savior of allmankind--the Lord ofglory and the King ofkings.Go ahead, wise guy. Fol-
low your star. Pursue thedistant glow. And don’t besurprised when it leadsyou to a place and a per-son and an experiencethat awakens great joy inyour heart, elicits trueworship from your soul,moves you to empty your-self of earthly treasures,and changes your direc-tion in life. Follow yourdream relentlessly allthrough the longnight “until the day dawn,and the day star arise inyour hearts”--2 Peter1:19b.

Theyare being published asa series over the nextfew weeks. The WayneCounty Sports Hall ofFame is looking for anyitems from this time pe-riod of minor-leaguebaseball in Jesup. Ifyou have an old jerseyor other item you wouldlike to donate to theHall of Fame, pleasecall 427-3757.)
•••After Dr. T.G. Ritch
and Jimmy Sullivan re-turned to Jesup, therewere many start-upthings to do. One of the first was to
select a name. The per-son who submitted thename chosen to be theteam name would re-ceive a year's free passto all the games. Mrs.Roy (Geneva) Hender-son, who along withPete and Sara Carterowned and operatedCarter's Five and Tenon Cherry Street, sub-mitted "Bees" asJesup's official baseballname.
Jesup's York BeeCompany was owned byHarvey York. York'sbees were in great de-mand annually for pol-lination and hundredsof his hives of bees leftJesup each year for thenorthern states andCanada because beesthere could not survivethe cold winters. Also,hundreds of York'scolonies of bees weresold to individuals bySears and Roebuck.Although Geneva and
Roy Henderson hardlyever went to baseballgames, they did go tothe opening-nightgame, where she wasrecognized for namingthe Jesup Bees.Now with a name,
uniforms had to be or-dered, so 24 home andaway uniforms with“Jesup Bees” on thefront and a number onthe back soon were inJesup, waiting for theplayers.
Picking the Jesup Bees as a name
By Candice McKinleySTAFF WRITER
What’s the toughesttask in golf? Apart fromwinning the Masters,some sources say“shooting your age.”And Edgar Shaw hasbeen shooting his agesince 2003.What is “shooting
your age?” It happenswhen you play a roundof golf and your score isequal to or less thanyour age. A full round of18 holes must beplayed in order to claimthis achievement.To understand the ex-
ceptional skill a golfermust have to shoot hisor her age, one needs toknow that the averagegolf course has a par of72. “Par” is the numberof strokes an expertgolfer is expected toneed to complete an in-dividual hole. “Most people will
never score under parbecause only one inevery 7,000 golfers willbreak par in their life-time,” according to onesource.The golfers that shoot
their age start doing soat about the age of 72.Shaw shot his age for
the first time at the ageof 69, putting him inthe ranks of those ex-pert golfers who haveshot under par in theirlifetime. Shaw, though,has shot under parmore than once.He and his wife, Lucy,
moved to Jesup in1961, and he startedplaying golf aroundthat time. He workedat the Georgia Depart-ment of Transportationuntil his retirement.Both he and Lucy re-tired in 1990, he fromthe DOT and she fromWayne County HighSchool.Shaw first shot his
age at Pine ForestCountry Club and has
continued to do so for12 consecutive years.He just celebrated his81st birthday in Au-gust. He frequentlyshoots par and shootswithin the 70s aboutonce a month, accord-ing to his family, and heis the only person onrecord to have shot hisage at Pine Forest.Pine Forest Country
Club was built by ar-chitect John Bredemusin 1945. Bredemus isfamed as a golf archi-tect, having designeddozens of golf coursesin his day. In 1949,Pine Forest played hostto the Houston Open,where golfer JohnnyPalmer took home thewinning trophy.The Shaws have en-
joyed living and raisinga family in Jesup. They
have one son, and theycelebrated their 58thwedding anniversarylast week.Most weeks, Shaw
can be found among the12:30 Golf Group atPine Forest. He plays acouple of times a weekwith the group, whichencompasses 15-25players a day. “We’ve very fortunate
to live in an area wheregolf is a year-roundpursuit,” his wife says.“... That makes it awhole lot simpler toshoot your age.”Lucy Shaw considers
her husband’s golfingability “very excep-tional” and can tellmost of his story her-self—another kind ofexceptional feat onecan do after 58 years ofmarriage.
Edgar Shaw has ‘shothis age’ for last decade
Edgar Shaw is known for shooting his age in golf.
