SUNDAY, MAY 13, 2018 LOCAL LAKE CITY REPORTER 3A ‘I just know that it makes their day’ 80 baskets for moms, kids in shelters. By COREY ARWOOD [email protected]

If you had to start over with nothing, no one and nowhere to go, what would you need to survive day to day? That was the question a church secretary asked congregation members collecting items for local women and their children seeking refuge in shelters on Mother’s Day. Janine Flegert is secretary of Lake City Church of Christ. She learned about the effort from Randy Free, a member of the church and the 32-year owner of a local fencing company. Free provided 100 pocket bibles for Mother’s Day baskets after he saw a request for 80 in a social media post made by Lake City resident Susie Langston. Langston was closing in on the final leg of her annual Mother’s Day project which she conducts COURTESY PHOTOS through her organization Volunteers sort through called God’s Helping gift baskets for mothers and Hands. their children at Lake City She calls it a ministry, Church of Christ, which were and its principle, much then loaded in to vehicles like Flegert’s, was based and distributed to area shel- on the Golden Rule. ters for Mother’s Day. “If it was Mother’s Day of online contributors who and I was living in a shel- send in items to her yearly ter,” Langston said. “It’s a projects from across the special holiday and they’re country. in there with their chil- Langston calls them dren and we just wanted “angels.” them to know that they’re “It’s the community, it’s not forgotten that God my church and its people loves them that they do from all over the U.S.,” matter in this community.” she said.

OUR OPINION Not a happy day for some s you mark the holiday with your loved ones, please keep in mind that A not everyone is joyous today. One local woman, Lindsay Wiggins, learned just Thursday that her mother, who had been missing for weeks, was dead. We got to know Ms. Wiggins back in March when she came to us seeking help in the search for Theresa “Terri” Cox, already missing for a week back then. As time passed Ms. Wiggins began to sense things might not end well, but kept up her hope as best she could. Remember her today.

By TONY BRITT [email protected] About a year ago, a pair of armed robbers stormed into a local internet cafe and robbed the establishment. Not only did the robbers take all the cash they could find, but they also shot the two security guards at the business. By the time authorities arrived at the scene, the robbers were long gone with the loot and security guards could provide little to no information about the suspects. However, days later, authorities were able to arrests the two suspects. The major break in the case came from tips provided through the Columbia Photos by TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter County Crime Stoppers program. LEFT: Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Cpl.

A Wikipedia search confirmed the common knowledge that Kayaks were invented by the Inuit Eskimos living in the subarctic circle. Early explorers to the North American continent discovered Eskimos using Kayaks made of Seal skins stretched around a simple wooden frame. The little boats were lightweight, extremely maneuverable and could transport a decent pay- load. Now hundreds of years later, we’re still using Kayaks. Although the modern Kayak uses roto molded plastic for their construction instead of Seal skins, the design is still very much the COURTESY PHOTOS same. Kayak fishing is all the rage right now, and it’s for good reason. Kayaks are much cheaper than traditional gas burners. A few weeks ago, Kenney Scott showed me some pictures but they caught nothing.

Smith also threw touchdowns to Jaden Williams and T.J Jones, who caught a deflection off the hands of Marquez Bell and walked into the end zone. The Gold team was made up of the first team offense/second team defense while the Purple squad con- sisted of the second team offense/first team defense. Multiple players on the first-team defense made an impact in the game in addition to Williams. Brandon Scott had two deflections, including one that led to Williams’ interception, and the defensive line combined for three sacks. “Our defense is pretty good. I’m not going to lie,” Fulton said. “We battle everyday in practice, getting each other better and everybody is getting better as a whole.” Smith found himself under pressure a lot throughout the night, forcing him to scram- Photos by BRENT KUYKENDALL/Lake City Reporter ble outside the pocket.

The rising rising junior rushed for 46 junior tossed four touchdowns in the Gold team’s 33-21 scrimmage win. Smith is one of many key returners for CHS this season. yards on 17 carries. Columbia’s offensive line has been its biggest question mark this spring and it didn’t show the strides head coach Brian Allen wanted to see under the lights. There are only four guys competing for three new starting spots and Allen believes those four needs more competition behind them to make them better. That means incoming freshmen this summer may have an opportunity to win a starting job up front. “There aren’t enough that are pushing the ones that are in front to keep their position so that’s one of the biggest things we’re going to be looking for going into the summer, is who is going to be willing to compete for those jobs because at the end of the day the best kids are going to play,” Allen said. “If you’re LEFT: Columbia’s Ty Weinger unloads against the Gold team defense Friday night. MIDDLE: Columbia running back Dominique not one of them, you’re going Jones shakes off a defender during the scrimmage.

You’re able to see it from the sideline or wherever you’re at. We have guys running free from not understanding what’s going on or lack of effort. There are still instances of too much of that going on.” Columbia also had issues snapping the ball, especially on special teams. The first long snap of the night went over the punter’s head and into the end zone, which surely would have led to a safety in a real game. There were also a few other instances where the ball two- hopped to the punter in addition to a couple of low snaps on extra points, one of which forced the kicker to get up and run with the ball.

Volunteer and Marketing Coordinator Dianna Swisher called it a kick off for summer.

At the event, county teachers were entered into a raffle for about 110 prizes with the top prize, a $500 classroom makeover from Moe’s in Lake City. “It’s really just a chance to honor the teachers, they just give 100 percent all year long and this is kind of the mark of, you know, school’s almost over,” saiod Swisher. “You can make it.” Paddles, rafts, and cold, fast waters in Alaska
