“A first hint of the power of the electronic
media to bring disaster directly into
living rooms came with the radio
broadcast of the explosion of the zeppelin
“Hindenburg,” in 1937.”

Reports
Bryan County
• Deputies received a call about a
woman at the convenience store
at I-16 and Hwy 280 selling parts
of a pickup truck that belongs
to the city of Brunswick. So they
show up and find the woman, acting strange, and began to question
her. She admitted that she’d stolen
the truck, saying that she noticed
it running in the city yard and she
just decided to take it and go to Savannah to visit some friends. After
getting confirmation that the truck
had been stolen, the woman was
arrested and turned over to Glynn
County Deputies. (There should be
a law against stupid!)
• The convenience store clerk told
Deputies she was extremely busy
when the man with dark hair, dark
eyes, and a goatee, and wearing
a puffy jacket, driving a Toyota
pickup, came inside, grabbed a
strawberry milk and left without
paying for it. The man returned a
short time later, and she advised
him that if he wasn’t going to pay
for the milk, he needed to leave.
Apparently he did so before the
Deputies arrived. (If you recognize
the description, how ‘bout harassing him until he can show you a receipt where he’s gone back and paid
for his strawberry milk!)
• A Deputy stopped a white Dodge
for not having a working tag light.
While speaking with the driver, he
quickly recognized that she’d just
smoked a joint. He searched the
Dodge and found a bunch of pills
and a marijuana pipe. She was arrested and taken to jail.
• A man told Deputies he ran his
credit report for the first time in a
long, long time, and found that a
collection company was coming
after him for the debts of an internet business. An internet business
that he believes was started by his
ex-wife using his personal information.
Garden City
• Just past 8pm, an Officer spotted
a Toyota Camry on Minus Avenue
that didn’t have a working tag light.
He made a traffic stop and recognized the odor of marijuana as he
spoke with the driver. He asked
the man to step out of his car and

The Forgotten Flyers Of WWII
US Navy blimp crews escorted ships, bombed U-Boats
By Clark Byron
On January 21 of this year,
Paul Sedelmeyer turned 90 years
old, one of a quickly disappearing
generation that is called America’s
greatest. Sedelmeyer, a Seaman
First Class at the time of his separation from the Navy, had served
for the entire duration of WWII,
and then some, from December 10,
1941 to his honorable discharge on
October 18, 1947.
Sedelmeyer was a blimp man.
Today, blimps are for fun and commerce. Great balloons filled with
helium, shaped like fat torpedoes
with a tail of fins and a gondola
or “car” underneath that holds the
crew and the propeller engines that
move them forward at what seems
like a snail’s pace. They say “Good
Year,” “Metlife,” or “Direct TV”
on the sides. They sport the latest
camera and video technology and
provide birds’ eye views of football
games.
But in World War II, they said
US Navy and they spelled death for
German submarines known as UBoats. These enemy subs patrolled
perilously close to the US coastlines. The mission of the blimps
was to escort ships from the docks
and out to sea, protecting them
from early sub attacks while still
close to shore. These behemoths
were 250 feet long and propelled
by two 1850 Pratt Whitney engines. They would fly at about 500
feet in the air patrolling the coastlines only during daylight hours.
At night, German U-Boats could
surface undetected and fire their
20mm cannons into the air and
easily bring down one of these fat
targets.
Sedelmeyer was stationed in
Galveston in the Gulf of Mexico.
The blip flights would last about
18 hours each. Sedelmeyer had
over 3,400 hours of flight time in
the blimps. “We lost a lot more
ships in the Atlantic Ocean until
we started doing this blimp program,” said Sedelmeyer. “We’d just
patrol the coast and we’d pick up
a German sub. Sometimes, ships
would quickly move in the direction of the sub and drop ash cans
(depth charges).”
The Navy had more than 135
of these airships during the war,
escorting warships and liberty
ships out to sea. The blimps were
big, bloated fighting machines.
They were equipped with two to
four bombs, a .50 caliber machine
gun, and some primitive radar and
sonar. But they could ferret out U-
Boats and blow them to pieces before the subs had the chance to torpedo our warships. “We knew if we
had hit one by the oil slick we saw.”
he said. “I was credited with getting two subs. I got a set of wings
sent to me after I got out and it had
two stars on it. Our whole crew got
one.”
The blimps carried a crew of
nine, including a pilot, co-pilot,
navigator, and Airship Riggers.
Sedelmeyer was a Rigger. Airship
Riggers did everything from standing watch to mooring the blimp
to operating the machine gun to
dropping the bombs to cooking.
“We had a hot plate and a coffee
pot,” said Sedelmeyer. “We’d cook
breakfast and we’d take a slice of
bread and take out the center and
put an egg in there.”
Sedelmeyer related a story
about when he was stationed in
Jamaica. “I was supposed to be on
a flight when I was stationed in Ja-
maica. Somebody took my place
that day,” he said. “The blimp went
down and everybody survived except the guy to replaced me.”
Another time, Sedelmeyer and
his crew went on an unusual journey. Leaving from Galveston in the
fog, the blimp went off course. “We
took off from Galveston to escort
a ship on the Gulf of Mexico. If
we didn’t stay close, a German sub
would get them,” said Sedelmeyer.
“The fog rolled in and the crew
lost their bearings. We ended up in
Kosciusko, Mississippi.”

10 Stories That Prove Guns Save Lives
By John Hawkins
In a nation that already has
more than 200 million guns, gun
control does little other than make
the work of rapists, robbers, murderers and nuts like Adam Lanza
easier. When faced with gun control laws, the law abiding citizen
has no choice other than to disarm
or become an outlaw, but people
with bad intentions are faced with
no such moral dilemma. That’s
why the best friend of a rapist or
a potential Adam Lanza is the gun
control advocate who’s working
tirelessly to insure that his targets
can’t adequately defend themselves.
On some level, even diehard
advocates of gun control know
this, which is why they want people with guns defending them. Our
police aren’t going to disarm, the
military isn’t going to try to fight
our enemies with non-violent protests and the White House will never become a “gun free zone.” But,
what happens when the bad man
with the gun is right there and the
military, the police, and the President’s Secret Service aren’t on the
scene? Then having a gun may be
the difference between living or
dying, between being raped or
being okay, between saving your
children or watching them die.
The hypocrites who want men
with guns to protect them when
they’re in trouble, but want to
prevent other law abiding citizens
from defending themselves love
to use anecdotal evidence to make
their case. Those of us who are
pro-Second Amendment then usually talk about our Constitutional
rights or reel off statistics to counter them, but we have our own
stories. There are thousands of
good and decent Americans who
are alive today precisely because
they had guns. Gun control advocates might think the world would
be a better place if those people
and the ones you’re about to read
about were dead and the people
menacing them had gotten away
with their crimes, but those of us
who are serious about our Second
Amendment rights disagree.
1) On February 12, 2007, a lone
gunman, Sulejman Talovic, opened
fire at the crowded Trolley Square
shopping mall, killing five bystanders. Armed with a shotgun with a
pistol grip, a 38-caliber handgun
with rubber grips, and a backpack
full of ammunition, he set forth on
his rampage through the mall.
But he did not get as far as he
had hoped. He was stopped by offduty police officer Kenneth Hammond of the Ogden City Police
Department, who was at Trolley
Square having an early Valentine’s
Day dinner with his pregnant wife.
When they heard shots, she called
911 and he drew his weapon and
confronted Talovic. He was joined
by Sgt. Andrew Oblad of the Salt
Lake City Police Department. They
pinned down Talovic, stopping
further deaths, until a SWAT team
from the Salt Lake City Police Department killed him.
Hammond, a man with a
weapon, was credited with saving
“countless lives.”
2) That’s right. There was not
a mass killing spree in Atlanta on
Thursday, but there could have
been. We’ll never know -- and
thankfully so, because an armed
guard stepped in.
As reported by USA Today, “A
14-year-old student was shot at an
Atlanta middle school Thursday afternoon, and another student was
taken into custody, police said.”
An armed guard disarmed the
shooter moments after the 1:50
p.m. shooting in a courtyard at the
Price Middle School in southeast
Atlanta.
Atlanta Public Schools public
information officer Steve Alford
said the teen’s wound was more
toward the back of the neck, WXIA-TV reported.
An armed off-duty Atlanta
police officer who works at the
school subdued the shooter and
had him drop his weapon, Police
Chief George Turner said.

In the Night
God is our refuge and strength, an
ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
Lucy is one of my husband’s
favorite relatives. She is a gentle
person. Exactly the kind of mother, grandmother, aunt, or neighbor
you would want. Her hair is white
and curled, and patted down to
cover the balding thinness. She
walks bent over from the great
hump on her back from osteoporosis.
Lucy always has a ready and
listening ear. She always has something kind and encouraging to say.
You just feel better being around
her.
She stays busy with friends and
family, but lives alone. Her husband and best friend of 45 years,
died. I asked her, “How are you really doing?” She paused, then said,
“It’s hardest in the night. Everything is worse at night.”
Lucy’s peaceful and pleasant
demeanor covers her real feelings
of ongoing loneliness and anxiety.
In the book of Samuel, in the Bible,
it says we look at what we can see,
but God looks at the heart.
Sometimes we look all “together” when really we are in our
“night.” God alone sees into our
deepest heart of hearts. He knows
what is written there.
He is always about the business of comforting us. He actually
provides us with His very presence.
That word of hope is real good
news.
Especially in the night.

The Seasons Change, But God Doesn’t
By Pastor Gary Cubbedge
As February is now with us, it
is interesting how fast the seasons
go by. While we still have some
cold weeks to go, it is easy to see
on these 80 degree weather days
that Spring will be here soon.
The seasons of the weather
may change but as Christians we
can take comfort in the fact that we
serve a God and Risen Savior that
does not change from month to
month, day to day, or hour to hour.
God Himself says in the book of
Numbers, “I am the Lord and I do
not change.”
By God’s own words, we know
that He is constant with His commands. The most important is of
course, that whatever year, month
or day, that God should be first in
our lives.
The Gift
It was almost the middle of
January and the snow had been
on the ground since before Christmas. Storm after storm had hit us
with no breaks in-between. Almost
6 feet of the white stuff had fallen
in 6 weeks here. The bitterly cold
temperatures had largely kept the
snow from melting too. The arctic air had crept through the walls
of my house and into my bones
as well. All in all, it was the perfect recipe for a case of the Winter
blahs.
To lighten my mood then, I
got out my old Christmas records
that I had owned since I was a boy.
I turned on the old record player
I had bought at a yard sale a few
That’s harder than it sounds.
Do you stay in touch with God? Do
you spend time in prayer, on the
Word each day? We have a unique
access to God with prayer and His
written Word. With prayer, we always have an open line to Him and
He is never too busy to listen.
We can go to Him with our
problems and our trials, our good
fortune, and our praise to Him. God
never says, “yes” to all prayers, but
He does say, “I care, I listen,” and if
we put God and His will first in our
lives, we will find that our journey
in life will be one that brings the
satisfaction of doing God’s will and
living a life that matters.
A life that matters not only to
ourselves, but a life that can be
an example to others. That others
can say, “You know ... How does
that person get through life with a
smile?”
Does this mean the Christian
doesn’t face adversity? Of course
not, but it does mean that when the
roadblocks occur, we don’t have to
face them alone. We serve a Risen
Savior who lives within us, who
gives us the strength to carry on, to
minister to the other guy, to further
the cause for Christ.
If you haven’t found a church
home, or you don’t know Jesus
Christ as your Savior, I invite you
to join us at Tusculum Christian
Church, GA Hwy 17, about 5 miles
outside of Guyton.
God Bless and have a good
week.
years ago and put the needle to the
vinyl. Soon the sweet sounds of
“Silver Bells”, “Silent Night”, “Joy
to the World”, “Carol of the Bells”,
and “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” filled the air. Even the January snow looked more beautiful
with “The Christmas Song” playing in the background.
As I sang along I could feel the
loving and joyous music heat up
my heart and my home. It didn’t
matter that my home was no longer decorated, that there was no
tree in the corner or presents under it, or that Christmas dinner
had been replaced with hot dogs
today. What mattered was that the
gift of Christmas lived on inside of
me. What mattered was that God’s
Love and Oneness filled my spirit
not just on December 25th but every single day of my life.
Don’t put the gift of Christmas up on some shelf on December 26th. Unwrap it and carry it
in your heart all through the year.
Its spirit will warm your Winter,
brighten your Spring, make your
Summer more special, and put
even more Awe in your Autumn.
It will remind you of God’s unconditional love for you and help you
to keep your own life focused on
love as well. It will allow you to
live everyday from your soul. And
it will even allow you to sing the
“Hallelujah Chorus” be it December, May, January, or June.
Salt of the Earth
Matthew 5:13... You are the salt
of the earth, but if the salt has lost
its taste, how shall its saltiness be
restored? It is no longer good for
anything except to be thrown out and
trampled under people’s feet. (ESV)
In my genealogical research
As the Countess of Huntington lay
dying, she said, “My work is complete,
and I have nothing to do but to go to my
Father.”
Sarah, a woman of faith and courage
whose story is found in the Old Testament, believed that her work was nearing completion. One day, God spoke to
her husband who was 100 years old and
said to him, “Sarah will give you a son!”
When Sarah heard this, she laughed
because she was 90 years old. God had
a very special plan for her in her old age,
even if she did not think it possible.
God knew that her work was not
done. And, just as God said, she gave
birth to a son and named him Isaac.
Sarah is an example of someone who
trusted God, and became known as a
woman of great faith.
These are days when each of us
comes to the conclusion that our best
days have passed us by. But God never
comes to that conclusion. His Word
reminds us that the best is always in
front of us and that we can always do
more for Him and through Him.
Our age does not matter. What matters is for us to always believe that God
has something great for us to do.
Visit us at www.TheSower.com
of early history in my area of the
North American continent, I found
that salt was an important commodity for the early settlers. Before
refrigeration, salt was an important
preservative for meats of various
kinds.
An important social event
took place in the autumn during
the mullet season on the Florida
gulf coast. Wagon trains pulled
by mules transported the families
to the coast. At night the wagons
were placed in circles and families
slept in and under them for safety.
They would seine for mullet, clean
and salt them down. The wagons
were then loaded with the salted
fish and next year’s supply of salt.
When Jesus spoke of salt as be-

Church in Tusculum, GA)

ing salty, he was not speaking of
the flavor salt added to the food,
but its ability to preserve meats—
to keep them from becoming rancid and protect them from worms.
As Christians today, we are
mixed into a society where we
should heal and preserve the culture by our witness. If we are to
be the salt of the earth, we must
act as a preservative and purifier in
society.
Are we as followers of Christ
today adding flavor to society and
preserving the Christian way of life
for those who come after us? Can
people tell we are Christian by the
flavor we add to life? Has our salt
lost its taste?
By Ivie Bozeman and passed along
by www.christianvoices.org.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
Heavenly Father,
I ask first, Lord, that you forgive me of my sins and wash my soul
clean so that I may come into your presence without blemish. Thank you
for forgiveness Lord, and showing mercy on my soul dear Lord.
I want to thank you also for the countless blessings that you have
given me. Blessings that I do not deserve but you have graciously showered upon my life. Please help me to be mindful of all that you have
given me and continue to supply me with.
As unworthy as I am, I ask Lord, with a humble heart, that you continue to meet my needs and heal me, physically, emotionally, financially
and spiritually. Help me Lord in my walk with you, as I desire to be a
witness and servant for you.
Thank you especially for Jesus and His sacrifice for not just me, but
for all who seek Him with their heart.
Please bless me, my family and friends, our nation and those we hold
very dear to us.
Please also bless and give peace and comfort to those who have lost
loved ones in our community, Lord, and heal their hurt.
I give praise to you, Lord, and will continue to do so at every opportunity, and will look forward to the day of your promised return. Thank
you for hearing my prayer.
~ Amen

The Highest Priority
Have you ever been in a hurry
and buttoned up a long overcoat
with lots of buttons and when you
were done, found out that the coat
was uneven? What went wrong?
I’ll tell you what went wrong.
When you don’t get the first button
in the right hole, all the rest are out
of sequence too, right?!
That’s a parable about life. Jesus
said it this way in the Sermon on
the Mount: “Seek first God’s king-
dom and his righteousness, and all
these things shall be yours as well.”
(Matthew 6:33)
If the Lord is not the high priority in your life, then, like the
overcoat, so many other things in
life will be out of whack as well.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Regarding Wild,
Wild Horses...
Dear Editor,
A tremendous thank you to all
our neighbors in Sangrena Woods
for helping us round up our horses
and getting them back home. We
appreciate it more than you could
ever know. You thwarted what
could have been a real tragedy if
they had made it to Hwy 80.
Again, we thank you Sangrena
neighbors!
-Ike and Elaine Laroche
and Family
Regarding The Islamic
Threat To America...
Dear Editor,
Regarding your Front Page
Cover last week, the Islamist
Threat to the United States... There
is a way to eliminate this threat.
(A) - Recognize Islam as a political
agenda instead of a religious exercise. Thusly Islam can be regulated
accordingly and phased out.
(B) - Recognise the Koran as a political text rather than a religious
text, (ditto)
(C) - Withdraw the United States
and, God willing, Canada will follow us, out of the UN and NATO...
(D) relocate The UN to her original
position at Geneva Switzerland.
(E) - Sufficiently guard all borders
leading into and out of the United
States (The southern border more
so than the northern border)
(F) - Re-establish full working
agreement between the Untied
States and the OAS...(Organization
of American States)
(G) - Recognize in full the Doctrine of President James Monroe.
(H) - Strengthen and Hyperexpand
Europe, NATO, United Nations as
to include Russia and Israel (Eurussia) Full diplomatic and military ties established between OAS
- EURUSSIA -(On the Same Page
- so to speak)
This will create a military force
more powerful than anything Ancient Rome and Greece combined,
Caligula and Alexander could have
scarce dreamt. Face the truth, the
Islamists cannot overtake FRANCE
AND MALI when they are on the
same page! What in the name of
God would they do with OAS - EURUSSIA in agreement?

• WalMart Security was watching
the women’s clothing section and
spotted a couple of young girls
putting some items inside their
purse. When confronted, they said
they didn’t know the items were in
their purse... no idea how they got
there. Due to their age, WalMart
decided not to prosecute, and they
were turned over to their mother.
(Let’s hope she had the good sense
to spank their little bottoms! I’m
guessing she didn’t...)
• Officers responded to an anonymous call about two men exchanging sexual favors in the bathroom
at Triplett Park. The caller gave a
description of the men involved
and described the vehicle one of
them had parked at the scene. The
Officers found only the one man
with the vehicle present when
they arrived. The man claimed he’d
been in the restroom by himself,
and that he uses the bathroom to
wash and clean himself before going to work at a local restaurant. He
added that he works at a seafood
warehouse during the morning
and doesn’t have time to go home
to clean up before going to his
job as a waiter. While the Officers
were talking to him, two cyclists,
who didn’t want to be identified,
rode up and said they’ve seen the
man on several occassions at the
bathroom, and had even gotten
into a verbal altercation with him
after walking in on the man and another man while they were... well,
use your imagination. Further, the
cyclist said that he’s seen children
trying to use that restroom and
thought it was inappropriate for
the man to be having sex there.
And the Police let the man go with
a warning not to be using the public restroom as a shower. (I’m doing my best not to type something
that can be used against me in a
court of law some day...)
• The innkeeper called Police after
smelling marijuana burning in one
of the hotel rooms. He used his
master key to open the room after
no one responded to their knocks
on the door. A man in his boxers
had to removed the latch to let
them inside. A nekkid woman was
in the bed, and the Officer asked
them about the marijuana joint laying on the floor. They didn’t know
anything about it, and the man
claimed he didn’t even know the
woman or the other people who’d
been in the room with them. Both
were arrested after the Officer
found a baggie of pot in the bathroom. But the man, still trying to
get out of trouble and explaining
that he didn’t want a drug arrest on
his record, told the Officer that the
woman had more drugs with her,
and that her boyfriend had more
drugs and lots of cash with him.
The Officer asked how he knew so
much about her and her boyfriend
if he’d just claimed he didn’t even
know them. He had no answer for
that. But that did lead the Officers
to search the backpack the woman
had in the room with her. She was
soon under arrest for cocaine and
the man was charged with possession of marijuana.
• A woman told Officers that she’d
been in the Publix parking lot returning to her car when a man offered to help her. He pointed out
a leak underneath her Toyota. He
said he was a mechanic and that he
could fix it for her. He walked over
to his truck, a beat up ‘95 GMC Sierra, and returned with an auto part
that he just happened to have with
him. He popped the hood and fixed
the problem for her. She asked
how much she owed him, and he
said he didn’t want to charge her
for his work, but she could pay him
the $37 for the part. So she did.

Broadnax
SSU’s Head Men’s Basketball Coach Uses Toughness to Get Success
By C. Edward Wilson
Savannah State University can
thank their interstate-rival and
fellow member of the Mideastern Athletic Conference Bethune
Cookman for getting their former
Head Men’s Basketball Coach Horace Broadnax to sign on the dotted
line eight years ago. His signing
began the wheels moving forward
to change the culture of almost two
decades of losing programs in Savannah.
Broadnax left the Daytona
Beach campus in 2002, after what
he called ‘basketball burnout.’ He
took off three years to work in the
legal profession as an attorney-atlaw in Florida. He returned at the
beckoning call of SSU in the fall of
2005 after the team had suffered
through a debilitating 0-28 season
in 2004-2005.
The decision to come back to
the sport he played and excelled in
both high school and college was
that he became reinvigorated for
the game and he thought it would
be a tremendous opportunity for
him and his family.
“You always want to lead with
your strengths and basketball was
always something I wanted to be
better at,” said Broadnax, in his
office at SSU. “For the most part,
things have been successful, because I have always been competitive.”
With a high school championship under his belt in Florida in the
early 80’s, and another even more
coveted national NCAA championship in basketball at Georgetown
in the mid-80’s, Broadnax came to
the reality that he was not going
to play professional basketball and
began life outside of the sport in
his early 20’s.
In 1982, he was the state’s basketball ‘High School Player of the
Year’ in Division 4-A, and led his

OUTDOOR TRUTHS
Voted Savannah’s BEST Golf Course
(Editor’s Note: Outdoor Truths is a weekly sportsman’s article that appears in newspapers and regional magazines
across 13 states in the South, and Midwest. It is a blend of observations and experiences that have come over time from
being in God’s great outdoors. We’re proud to offer this column for the outdoor sportsmen in our area.)
I’m still not sure about this
whole global warming thing, but I
do know that the winters where I
live are not as cold and snowy as
they used to be. I can remember
the days when you could always
count on hunting in the snow on
Thanksgiving Day. Now there’s no
guarantee that you’ll even have a
measurable amount of snow at any
time during the winter season.
The same goes for February.
The last couple of days have
warmed up considerably and our
good weather folks are predicting
temperatures in the 70’s tomorrow.
If it’s even close, we’ll think that
spring has sprung.
I’ve noticed over the years
how the changes in weather have
affected the hunting and fishing
seasons. Years ago our wives could
rest assured that Saturdays in
February would find us at home
doing some chore that we had put
off for too long. But last Saturday

the boats were out in full force,
headed to the lake like a tired horse
headed for the barn.
The lines were once clearly
defined as to when the fishing
and hunting seasons opened and
closed, but today the line is vague if
not altogether gone. Deer season at
one time closed early in December
in my area. Now it’s nearly the
middle of January. It once opened
in October, now Kentucky opens
the first day or two of September.
All of these changes have made us
hunting and fishing types have to
discipline ourselves when it comes
to the time spent in our favorite
outdoor place.
And for most men this selfdiscipline is difficult. The truth
is we need structure. We need
parameters. We need rules and
guidelines. This makes life so
much easier, even though we bark
against them from time to time. We
don’t want anyone telling us what
to do… but we need them to.
We need to know when too
much is too much. We need to
know when we are neglecting
the things that we shouldn’t be
neglecting. Women seem to have
a knack for knowing these things.
Men don’t and that’s why we need
the accountability that comes from

Then, she returned to Publix a couple of days later, and saw the man
doing the same thing to another
victim. As the Officer was on the
radio talking with dispatch, a Port
Wentworth Officer overheard the
report and recognized the scam.
He contacted the Pooler Officer,
who verified the Port Wentworth
man’s license plate number matching the one the woman had given
him. He’ll be arrested soon on flim
flam charges.
• A woman told Police she’d purchased several items, including
two boxes of Lantus insulin, valued
at $700, at WalMart and stopped
in the McDonald’s before leaving
the store. A man came and spoke
to her as she was waiting in line,
and when she turned to place her
order, he apparently pushed her
buggy out of the restaurant and
then out into the parking lot. That
was confirmed by watching the
surveillance videotape. Police are
hoping further examination of videotape will give them the vehicle
and license plate the man left in.
(I just told ya’ll how expensive that
stuff is... just wondering how this
schmuck’s gonna find a diabetic willing to buy stolen insulin?!!)
• Police responded to a fight at one
of Pooler’s Mexican restaurants.
The bartender had cut off the tequila for a group of about ten men.
One of them then walked up to the
bartender, took his arm and began
looking at the man’s watch and
wedding ring. Then, with his other
hand, he punched the man in his...
umm... his gentle-tals. Soon it was a
free for all with the employees and
manager coming to the aid of their
bartender. Three of the men were
taken to jail on disorderly conduct
and simple battery charges.

responded to the call and walked
up to the man as he was standing
in line in the sporting goods department. In addition to the DVD’s, the
man also had a candy bar he’d stolen in the store and a package of
flares. That’s in addition to a little
bit of marijuana and a dozen pills.
He was taken to jail.

• An Officer took a report from a
woman who’d called at 3am to tell
them she’d seen men on the roof
of the laundromat. As the Officer
was responding, she called back to
say that the men were now, possibly, in her back yard. When he got
there, the woman pointed to the
roof, and where he saw large vent
pipes, she saw people. Further, she
saw people on other roofs in the
area, and even described shining
her flashlight in the face of a man
sitting in a chair on the upper level
deck of a nearby home. The Officer
went and noticed the dew on the
deck, with no footprints in the dew.
He returned to the woman and
began discussing her medication
with her. He finally told her that
he’d have other Officers place her
home on extra patrol, and for her
to call back if she felt the need in
the future. She called back around
5:30am with the same complaint.
This time, the Officer called EMS
to come and check her. They could
find no medical reasons for her hallucinations, so the Officer again assured her of the extra patrol of the
Police in her neighborhood.
• And then she called back around
6pm that day and reported seeing
large worms around her home, an
iguana, and more people sleeping
on a wood pile and standing in a
field near her home. Members of
her family were on hand this time,
and they agreed to take her to her
mother’s home and to keep an eye
on her.

and drove down a dead end street
in a neighborhood and noticed

team to the Florida State Championship that same year. He also
played running back and the widereceiver position for his football
team and was a member of the
baseball team. He was considered
one of the toughest athletes in the
area at the time.
Broadnax, who hails from Plant
City, Florida, credits his mother
and father with creating an atmosphere at home that led to his success both on and off the court. He
was surprised, or better yet, caught
off guard at the problems that occurred in other households with
some of his friends.
“There was never a lot of arguing and drinking in my household,”
said Broadnax. “I always wanted to
go home when I got a chance to.
There was always a lot of love in my
house.”
The coach likes to refer to the
game of sports as nothing more
than repetition and preparation. He
compares it to the rules of handling
yourself well in the courthouse.
At his practices, Broadnax goes
over the same play over and over on
offense and defense until his play-

ers get it right. He counts on the
other team to breakdown at some
point and that is when his team will
seize the opportunity to make them
pay for their loss of focus.
“I like it when my team plays
tough defense, because it throws
the other team’s rhythm off,” said
Broadnax. “My high school coach
taught defense and that takes a lot
of physical and mental intensity
during the game,” he added.
As the SSU program has started
to evolve into one of the best in the
country, Broadnax recruits players
that are not the first choice of some
of other bigger programs, yet he
gets the most out of what he does
get via the junior college route, or
from incoming freshmen. He actually recruits players who want
to play defense. He knows the importance of that side of the game,
because when the offense breaks
down from a tenacious defense being thrown at them all game long,
his team can take advantage of that,
which leads to easy baskets in the
transition game.
“I want to bring players here,
who want to be here,” said Broadnax. “Our motto has always been
that, even when we were not in a
conference. I want kids to evalu-

ate themselves and feel good about
shutting another player down.”
The coaching staff at SSU is
headed by Broadnax, but assistant
coaches Clyde Wormley and Jay
Gibbons are given free reign to add
any input as needed. Things sometimes get very intense as the players
try to take on the personna of the
coaching staff, which has been in
place for eight years.
That type of intensity could be
frightening to some players, but
Broadnax knows that when you
cross those lines to play the game,
you had better be ready to be at the
top of what you have been taught,
or you are going to lose. He does
what he has to do within reason to
get some of his player’s attention,
even if it means sending them to
the locker room during practice or
games.
The members of the 2011-2012
team were given their MEAC regular season championship rings
during a ceremony at Tiger Arena
on January 19 of this year. When
asked how he felt about his players
getting those rings, he said, “It felt
good and it was something they deserved, because we are in the business of winning championships. I
was excited for the team and it was

fulfilling in front of our crowd.”
“Getting that one (ring) is motivation and if there is a tendency to
forget, they can look at the ring and
realize that one is good, but two is
better,” he added.
As his team heads into the final month of the regular season,
Broadnax knows that any post-season tournament is special for a college team. He would like to get to
the NCAA tournament or the “Big
Dance” as it is called, but being one
of the 32 teams in the National Invitational Tournament is nothing to
sneeze at either.
“I won’t be overly disappointed
if we don’t get to the NCAA tournament,” said Broadnax. “If we
play well at a high level and do the
things necessary, it will take care of
itself. It won’t be from lack of sacrifice.”
This is from a coach, who by
his own standards wants the best
out of life for everyone. He knows
hard work, focus and taking care of
the small things will equal success.
Just ask those other 63 teams that
fell short in their quest to win it all,
but was won by Broadnax and his
Georgetown Hoyas teammates (led
by Patrick Ewing) back in 1984.
The team almost repeated in 1985,
before losing to Villanova in the finals.
In the January 22 of this year,
ESPNU broadcasted live from the
Savannah campus in a nationally
televised game. The Tigers played
another defense gem against Bethune-Cookman. The Tigers prevailed by 43-40 count. Broadnax
smiled, and so did his team. He
brought both programs from the
point of despair during his career.
We’re just fortunate he’s with our
team now.
Playing tough defense has its
rewards. Just ask the rest of the
MEAC. They don’t like playing the
Horace Broadnax led Tigers. Because, he holds court, both in the
legal profession, and on the roundball floor. Broadnax knows, ‘March
Madness’ calls for ‘repetition’ and
‘preparation’ and this coach excels
at both.

High School Sports
By C. Edward Wilson
National Signing Day was Wednesday
Yesterday was the biggest day
of the year for many high school
football players all over the nation.
Dubbed “National Signing Day”
by the media, many high school
athletes signed a national letter of
intent to play for their favorite college.
Right after Lou Saban won his
latest national title, the best college
coach in the nation hit the road
to start his last leg of his recruiting process. The Crimson Tide will
undoubtedly get the players they
are seeking, but schools like Savannah State University and Georgia Southern will have to out-bid
Georgia Tech, University of Georgia and now Georgia State to get
the athletes they want from inside
of the state borders.
The most sought after athlete
has been running back Josh Mercer of South Effingham. He is supposed to be going to North Carolina State University. The rest of
the players in the area have kept
their intentions mostly secretive
to this point and unfortunately for
our paper, the deadline is around
noon on Wednesdays and we won’t
be able to expound on who these
players are until next week.
Regular Week of High School Basketball
There are only a sprinkling of
games remaining on this week’s
Westside basketball schedule as
the season begins to wind down.
Teams like Effingham County and
Jenkins High will have to wait
until a coin-toss is settled to see
who gets the top seed in Region
3-AAAAA. The same thing will
have to probably occur with Savannah High and Johnson, who have
lost only one game in region play
to each other. The same is the case
for Effingham and Jenkins, who are
currently 12-1 in the region.
Regardless of who gets the
homecourt advantage, it will be a
world-wind of a season for both
teams to be hosting other teams
from different regions with a possible winner going to the state finals.
Next week, the high school
basketball pairings for boys and
girls team will be posted on the
Georgia High School Association’s
website. The pairings will have to
wait until the conclusion of games
played on this coming weekend.

• YOGA CLASS OUTLINE 6 WEEKS
SCHEDULE... FIRST CLASS NO
CHARGE!!
Regardless of age or physical
ability, yoga is for every body! Yoga
increases muscular strength as well
as flexibility, improves concentration, boosts your mood, helps with
back and neck pain, increases your
resilience to stress – the list goes
on and on.
This 6-week practice sequence
has been designed to introduce
you to the basics of hatha yoga.
All asanas (poses) are taught and
practiced mindfully, with an emphasis on safe alignment, and can
be modified to meet YOU where
YOU are today. Each class includes
a centering warm-up, brief meditation and a blissful relaxation. If
you’ve ever wanted to try yoga,
this is the perfect time!
Week 1 – Standing Poses (Feb 7)
Standing poses build strength, stability and concentration, and are
the foundation of practice.
Week 2 – Forward Bends (Feb 14)
Forward bends lengthen the back
body (especially hamstrings) and
invite introspection.
Week 3 – Backbends (Feb 21) Backbends are exhilarating! Practiced
mindfully, they expand the chest,
opening the heart, and strengthen
the long muscles of the back.
Week 4 – Twists (Feb 28) Twists
stimulate the internal organs and
bring a delicious freedom to the
spine, chest, shoulders and hips.
Week 5 – Strength (Mar 7) Who says
yoga is for wimps? These poses will
build strength and stamina in the
legs, arms and core.
Week 6 – Hips & Shoulders (Mar 14)
Our hips and shoulders are notorious for holding onto tension. These
poses will teach you to release the
tight muscles surrounding these
joints.
Class Time Thursday 6:30pm7:30pm at the Ed Young Senior
Center, 103 Turnberry Street in Port
Wentworth. For more information, call the Leisure Services Dept.
