Students received iPads last week Ready for tech’s benefits, parents worry about costs and risks

Former JHS principal Mike Newell shows the new iPad. Newell is now the new Director of Operations for Jacksonville city schools.

Mike Newell stood in Jacksonville High School’s cafeteria last week and showed a compact piece of aluminum and glass to a crowd of students and parents.

Newell, a school administrator, held an Apple iPad, a device smaller than a textbook but with the capacity to store a library’s worth of information. Then came a presentation of rules — starting with all the “do-nots.”

Jacksonville is issuing 1,100 iPads this week and next to students in grades 4-12 at sessions like the one held Tuesday for 11th-graders. Parents, some of whom were seeing the tablet computers for the first time, were excited about what their children

will learn with the devices, but some also worried.

Some wonder what will happen if their sons or daughters break or lose one of the $759 iPads. Some wonder how to keep kids from getting into online mischief. And some wonder whether all families can handle the $50 fee for the devices.

“There are always concerns when you’re taking on a project of this magnitude,” said Thomas Abernathy, who spoke with a reporter after the presentation as his son and daughter headed upstairs to be issued their iPads.

School officials say they’re aware of parents’ concerns and are planning for them, though they acknowledge they haven’t solved every issue. Superintendent Jon Paul Campbell said the school system is working to make sure all students get access to the devices

and to help families understand the benefits and risks of the Internet.

“One of the biggest reasons we are doing this is to level the playing field so that whatever your background, you’ll have the tools to take advantage of this learning,” Campbell said.

Students will use the devices to do Internet research, to make presentations, to do group work and to take tests. Using examples, Campbell said students might use the devices to make a movie instead of doing a book report, or to have a video chat with someone on another continent during history class.

“There are a lot of opportunities that can be there that maybe weren’t there before,” Campbell said.

Jacksonville’s school board voted Thursday to handle students’ most serious discipline problems in a new way.

Criminal offenses such as drug use and sexual misconduct — what the Board of Education now terms “Class 4 offenses” — are punishable only by expulsion or placement in alternative school, after the board’s vote at a Thursday meeting.

“I want our code of conduct to be something that’s easily understood by our students,” said Superintendent Jon Paul Campbell.

Before the change, the school’s code of conduct contained just three violation classifications. The changes were ■ See SCHOOL BOARD, page 7

OPINION/EDITORIAL TOWN & GOWN

Cody Lee prepares to fly This Town and Gown was written by Julie Skinner in Jacksonville State University’s Office of Public Relations.

On Friday, August 2, Jacksonville State University sent forth another group of graduates into the world. From nurses to educators, each graduate exhaled a sigh of relief when finally having the diploma they worked so hard for resting in their hands.

Now is the time to fly; it’s time to combine all the sleepless nights of studying, the rainy walks to class, the tests, the comps, the reading, and the pages upon pages of notes.

It’s time to make a difference, and to show the world that all the hard work has paid off.

Cody Lee, who received his master’s degree in public administration Friday night, is ready to spread his wings.

Graduating with a 4.0 grade point average, Cody left an impact on his professors that will surely linger.

Dr. Lori Owens of the political science department had Cody for several classes, both during his undergraduate classes and graduate years.

“He’s just one of those students you wish for the first day of class,” Owens says. “You just know he’s going to be attentive.”

Owens points out that Cody is in Pi Sigma Alpha, the National Political Science Honor Society, and has worked as a graduate assistant in the department while obtaining his master’s degree. When Anniston Mayor Vaughn Stewart contacted JSU’s political science department to set up an internship program through his office, Owens promptly thought of Cody.

“We’re very proud of Cody, because he’s the first student we’ve sent to the mayor’s office when they were getting their internship program off the ground,” Owens says. “It was a good opportunity for the City of Anniston, and also for Cody to be on the ground floor of rebuilding and revitalizing the City of Anniston.”

Cody says that during his internship, he’s been able to shadow the mayor and see how public administration works in practice, instead of learning the theory of it in class. Though he only needed 120 hours for his internship, he successfully completed

that, and decided to stay on to enjoy the experience. One thing he’s enjoyed is meeting so many new people.

Dr. Tim Barnett, a professor in the political science department, had Cody in six of his classes.

“Cody’s very composed, attentive, careful with his statements, and respectful of his fellow students,” Barnett says. “He’s truly one of the finest students I’ve had in the last 10 years here at JSU.” Barnett recalls him all the way back to 2008 in his political parties class with a challenging text that looked at the evolution of political parties. Though the text was difficult, Barnett says Cody was always prepared.

“I still remember coming back to my office after class just feeling elated to have a student like Cody who would come prepared to discuss our readings with so much clarity,” Barnett explains.

In another class, which was online, Barnett remembers being impressed at Cody’s contributions even while Cody was travelling through Washington D.C. and upper New England at the time. Barnett sees Cody possibly working for the state department someday.

“I think he would be a perfect fit as an American diplomat for the state department.

He’s such a careful listener, and he has a high respect for other people,” Barnett says.

“He’s able to listen to opinions, and then he’s careful to provide reasons that not only further his ideas, but add something to what other people are trying to express.”

One thing that’s impacted Cody’s life so positively is his four-year stay at the International House. While there, he was surrounded with many different cultures and world views.

“It’s been the best experience of my life so far,” Cody says. “I don’t know if I would’ve made as many friends as I did in college had I not lived in the International House. It’s more than a dorm; it’s more a community of people who share their lives.”

While at the International House, Cody met his best friend, Emil Loeken, and was recently a groomsman in Loeken’s wedding.

“Cody and I became best friends the second

Lee and Loeken met through JSU’s International House Program and became fast friends. we met,” Loeken says. “He has some unique characteristics that many around him find to be very comforting. While being a down-toearth kind of guy, he has some impressive goals and ambitions. I remember many late nights talking about how he wanted to be a U.S. ambassador around the world, and I remember thinking how he would make a great president.”

Though Cody has never been out of the country, he plans to eventually take a job where he’s able to travel, see the world, and make a difference.

When he’s not applying for jobs or studying, he likes to run three to four miles a day, play tennis or video games, and spend time with friends. He’s described by so many as a well-rounded good guy.

“I’m so appreciative for students like Cody.

He’s a person with character and strong work ethic, and that’s what makes you want

to teach,” Owens says. “It makes you feel better to know that students like him are going out into the world and going to make a difference.”

Though Cody received admissions letters from many different colleges and could have chosen any of them, instead he chose to attend Jacksonville State University.

“I love JSU,” Cody says. “We have great faculty here, and they care about students. If you want to go in and talk to them, they’re there. They know every student by name.

That’s not something you’re going to get elsewhere.”

JSU is proud to have students like Cody going into the world to do great things, but also know that he’ll always be a part of the Gamecock family, no matter where his drive and vivid personality take him.

‘The hostess with the mostest’ stress

Three months ago, I began planning a party at my house; this party was to coincide with a meeting of the Writers of Calhoun County on July 25. I decided we would meet first and then move to my house to eat and have fun.

I set the party that far in advance, hoping the ample time would surely give me the opportunity to avoid the usual stress related to preparations. However, as usual, I put off doing too many things until the day of the party. Four hours before it took place, I wondered why I had ever wanted to host a party.

There were some things that occurred the day of the party that I could not help. An unexpected event came up, which took longer than I expected. Then, an editor called and needed a last-minute article, which I hurried to complete

Sherry Kughn

Sherry-Go-Round within an hour. All of those lastminute tasks left me with little time to do what I needed to do the most – straighten and clean my house.

Hosts and hostesses know that, on party days, we see dirt we normally never see. Dust bunnies pop up on the floor. Food drips emerge on surfaces, such as the top of the dishwasher and the refrigerator shelf, places I never notice on other

days. Bathrooms always need a last-minute swish or two. So, just before the meeting, I was faced with several tasks and also needed to freshen my hair and make-up.

Before doing any of these things, I sat down and took a few deep breaths. My guests would certainly want a relaxed hostess. Afterward, I looked in the mirror. I fluffed my hair, droopy from the high summer humidity. There was no time to apply fresh makeup. I wiped surfaces, I swiped doorknobs, and I vacuumed for about 30 minutes.

I promised myself I would clean more on another day. The next thing I knew, preparation time was over. My friend who was picking me up knocked on the door, and we left for the meeting. Once there, Beth Duke talked to us writers about how important it is to write daily, even if only an hour a day.

We had a good crowd, and about a dozen members went to my home afterward.

Thirty minutes later, I sat in a lawn chair on my newly renovated concrete patio and laughed with my guests. Some members read excerpts from humorous quotations.

One friend played us a gospel song on his guitar and sang. One told a meaningful story. Another shared a poignant moment from her week.

We ate sandwiches made of chicken salad; and we ate snacks the others brought, including cupcakes that our speaker had made. (Beth, you write and speak well and you bake.

I’m glad to know you.) We drank lemonade punch and enjoyed the 75-degree evening.

As I sat and listened to my talented friends, I remembered why I like being a hostess. Successful parties give us a much-needed

opportunity to enjoy time with friends who feel like family members. My party was one of those happy times to share with friends. I was also reminded that everything worthwhile requires effort and probably some lastminute stress.

Best of all, I forgot that my makeup needed freshening, and I did not mind because a smiling face is the best makeup of all.

By the way, any writers are welcome who might want to join the Writers of Calhoun County.

We’ll meet again in September. I can’t promise another party, but we will enjoy our programs.

Email me, and I’ll add you to our roster. The meetings are free and open to beginning and advanced writers.

What about the four secondary state offices?

Last week we predicted that all three of our top constitutional officeholders will win reelection to a second four-year term in next year’s election. The election will be in June next year. Since we are now a one party state when it comes to statewide political races, winning next year’s June 3rd Republican Primary is tantamount to election. Folks, that is only 10 months away. The actual bell to begin campaigning rang out two months ago when candidates could officially begin raising money.

Gov. Robert Bentley, Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey and Attorney General Luther Strange should have smooth sailing in their efforts to garner another four years in their posts. In addition, Sen. Jeff Sessions is a prohibitive favorite to win reelection for another six-year term in Washington.

What about the other four secondary statewide offices?

Former banker, Young Boozer, is finishing his first term as Treasurer. He will have very little, if any, opposition in his

bid for a second term.

Boozer was the most qualified candidate to run for the office Steve of treasurer in my Flowers lifetime of following Alabama politics. His previous experience could not have been more perfectly scripted to manage the state’s Inside The Statehouse treasury. Boozer has lived up to his resume and has done an excellent job as treasurer. He has put in a lot of hours. His yeoman’s efforts may have salvaged the beleaguered PACT program.

Four years ago I marveled and chronicled the fact that we had candidates running for two state positions who were actually qualified for the offices they were seeking. They seemingly were aspiring to the posts for the purpose of doing the job as opposed to seeking the office in order to run for governor. One was the treasurer’s race with Young Boozer.

The other was the Agriculture Commissioner post.

Four years ago there were three candidates running for Agriculture Commissioner who were uniquely qualified to administer this important constitutional office. John McMillan, Dorman Grace or Glen Zorn would have been chosen for the job if their resumes had been put into a merit system register.

Any one of the three would have been good for Alabama. John McMillan emerged as the winner at the polls.

McMillan has indeed done a good job under trying circumstances. His budget has been cut drastically by the legislature, along with all General Fund agencies. He will more than likely win reelection to a second term. He made sure Zorn would not oppose him by hiring him soon after the election.

The office of Secretary of State is an open seat, so to speak, in 2014. The five constitutional offices previously discussed

have incumbents seeking reelection. However, Beth Chapman quit as Secretary of State with 17 months to go on her term.

She was prohibited from running for a second four-year term.

With an open seat, this office is receiving interest from some very well qualified men.

Rep. John Merrill of Tuscaloosa announced almost a year ago that he was running. He has been campaigning throughout the state for the past year. Crenshaw County Probate Judge Jim Perdue recently switched parties in order to run for the statewide job, which is similar to being a state probate judge.

Another veteran probate judge is also in the race. Former Montgomery County Probate Judge Reese McKinney has thrown his name into the hat. These gentlemen may not be the only ones in the fray. This one is shaping up to be one of the best contests of the year.

The State Auditor’s job is also wide open. Samantha Shaw has served her two-term limit like Chapman. Probably a host of aspiring young politicians will seek to run for this seemingly irrelevant position. Mrs. Shaw more than likely will not run for anything herself. She may instead simply help her husband seek reelection to his seat on the State Supreme Court. Justice Greg Shaw is the only judge on the high court up for election next year.

There are two seats on the Court of Criminal Appeals on the ballot. Judges Mary Windom and Beth Kellum should be reelected.

The Court of Civil Appeals also has two of its members up for election. Judges William Thompson and Scott Donaldson should be favored to retain their seats on the appellate court.

The most active races in the state next year will be on the local level. There will be battle royales throughout the state for the 105 House of Representative seats as well as the 35 State Senate seats. You may see some tough intra-party brawls within the Republican Party.

It will be fun to watch.

Sue Chastain likes for residents to have fun Jacksonville Health and Rehab employees help each other

S

ue Denham Chastain began her career at Jacksonville Health and Rehab Center as a certified nursing assistant in 1995. She quickly fell in love with the residents and knew she had chosen the best occupation for herself.

“I got more and more familiar with the activities program and got interested in it,” said Sue. Everyone saw Sue’s interaction with the residents as a nursing assistant, and it didn’t take long for her to become activities assistant.

“I enjoy being involved with the residents,” she said.

“I like getting to know them better, talking to them and spending time with them. We have a social gatherings and do reminiscing with games, parties and outings. I learn a lot from them. We try to keep them happy. We don’t wasn’t them to be bored. It’s their home, and they should be able to enjoy being in their home.”

Sue said what makes her job even more enjoyable is the fact that she has great co-workers and they all help each other.

“I wouldn’t be able to do what I do if it weren’t for my co-workers,” she said.

Sue was born in Coldwater and grew up in Anniston.

She and her husband, David, have been married 30 years and have lived in Anniston the entire time. David installs dry walls.

They have two daughters. Misty Thacker and her husband, Stephen, have a 5-year-old son, Bradyn, and are expecting a daughter in November. They live in Alexandria. Misty works for attorneys Ghee and Draper.

Melissa Chastain and her fiancé Brent Green live in Munford. Sue and David will be grandparents again in February when Melissa and Brent’s baby is born.

Melissa works at Regions Bank.

Sue’s sisters are Nadine Cates and Joann Hodges of Anniston and Lorene Carroll and Sandra Maye

of Ohatchee. Her brother, Charles Denham, lives in Anniston. Sue is the youngest in her family.

District 4 seniors compete at community center Twenty-two from Jacksonville participated Ninety seniors, including dancing groups from Pell City and Moody, participated in this year’s District 4 Masters Games of Alabama at the community center Friday. The games were sponsored by the East Alabama Commission Area Agency on Aging in cooperation with the City of Jacksonville and the parks and recreation department. The 22 participants from Jacksonville were awesome, according to senior center director Wendy Thompson.

“The day went so well,” said Thompson. “Hosting the games takes a lot of planning and preparation. I have so

many vendors that I rely on that help me year after year, and we were glad to have some new faces this year.”

The Saks First Baptist Church youth group helped with retrieving balls and assisting the vendors at each event. The Jacksonville seniors and senior staff and Retired Senior Volunteer Program volunteers worked for weeks on decorations and preparing for the day.

Maurine Harmon, 97, of Anniston has been competing since 1980 and is in the Masters Games Hall of Fame.

She was the state winner in horseshoes in 1979.

Games included domino singles, shuffleboard, softball

throw, Nerf and Frisbee basketball and softball, line dancing, Checkers and Rook.

“It’s so much fun that we just all get into masters mode and winning at the district level so that we can travel to state in October of each year,” said Thompson.

“We had our annual fundraiser back in March and we have already raised the money that we’ll need to stay the first night so the seniors can play at the state level. I’m so proud of all of our seniors, and I encourage those 50 and older to find out more about the Masters Games of Alabama and become involved.”

The Human Condition The Bible provides us with many good examples of humanity. Adam, Moses, and Jesus are archetypes of humanity. But, it is also true that being human is radically different now than it was in Biblical times. Culture and technology have changed us to such an extent that being human in the modern world is fundamentally different than it was in the ancient world, or even a few hundred years ago. Our species may not have changed much in terms of biology, but in terms of psychology and culture, the differences are vast. This goes beyond such superficial questions as whether Jesus would have a Twitter account or a Facebook page were he alive today. Part of what defines us as human is that we are cultural beings. That is, we grow up within a culture and that particular culture is grafted onto us. This is one of the reasons why the humanities are important as an area of study. They help us to understand what it is to be human. Works of fiction are sometimes denigrated by those with a practical bent, but good fiction is often an exploration of what it is like to be a human being. Humanity is constantly reinventing itself, all the while questioning the implications of that reinvention. One reason to study the Bible is because it gives a number of very deep answers to the question of what it means to be human.

-Christopher Simon No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.

Ecclesiastes 8:17

JHS: Some question the $50 usage fee, especially those who have more than 1 child From page 1

day night who questioned whether the $50 usage fee would be too much for some families to pay, especially those with more than one child.

“Public education is supposed to be free. Unfortunately we’ve arrived at a time where there is some cost associated,” Abernathy said. “Somebody has to bear the cost of the device.”

The school system is paying most of the nearly $1 million cost of the program

with local money from the 1 cent sales tax Campbell said he was aware that some parents might have trouble paying the $50 fee, and said the school system plans to work with families to be sure all students have access to the devices, though he didn’t share specifics.

Menzo Parker, another father of two students, said he worries what will happen if one of his children accidentally loses a device.

Parker said he wants to buy a school-recommended insurance policy to cover

the cost of the replacing or repairing lost, stolen or damaged devices.

“That’s a huge concern,” Parker said.

He asked school officials at Tuesday’s session how much the insurance will cost, and was frustrated when they couldn’t provide an answer. A link on the school system’s Web site had information about the insurance coverage, provided by a company called GoCare. The company’s Web site showed prices of $37 to $61 per device per

year, depending on the type of policy.

Lesley Cunningham, mother of a Jacksonville High student, said she worries about students having access to devices that allow them to use the Internet in unsupervised settings.

“It makes me nervous,” Cunningham said.

Currently she and her husband keep a family computer in the living room, so they can monitor how the Internet is used in their home.

Tuesday they lost that ability because their son’s iPad

can go everywhere he goes, she said.

School officials pointed out that there are some safeguards in place that should prevent students from accessing inappropriate sites and from downloading popular social networking apps, like Facebook.

Some parents also said they worried about what would happen to students who don’t have Internet access at home. They worried too about parents and grandparents who aren’t computer literate trying to

help their children, and to monitor kids’ Internet use.

Campbell said the school system is working to address those concerns.

Officials are compiling a list of businesses and public places that have free wireless Internet access, he said. ÊAnd, he said, hosting classes to teach students’ families how to use the Internet would be a good idea.

BOE: Previous code gave administrators more disipline leeway From page 1

requested by new Jacksonville High School Principal Rick Carter and recommended by Campbell.

“It will be clearly defined as to what is accepted and what is not accepted,” Carter said.

“Without safety and security of schools, it’s hard for education to go on,” Carter said. “I believe in disciplined, orderly environments.”

The previous code of conduct gave administrators more leeway to decide how students would be disciplined. The school board could choose from among suspension, expulsion and placing students in an alternative school.

In other business Thursday, the board eliminated its policy that had forbidden close relatives from working in a supervisor/subordinate situation.

The vote came moments before the board hired Shannon Carter, Rick Carter’s wife, to serve as a counselor at Jacksonville High.

“We realized we would have to change that policy,” Campbell said, adding that it is better to give the board more discretion in hiring. “I think it gives the board control on a case-by-case basis.”

Before taking jobs at Jacksonville High the Carters worked with each other at Wellborn High School, where Shannon Carter was also a counselor.

“In this particular case, they have a proven track record of huge success together.” Campbell said.

Campbell said he thinks the board did the right thing to keep the couple together because they were successful at Wellborn.

“If I didn’t think it was the best thing for students, I wouldn’t have made that recommendation,” Campbell said. “He had to sell me on it.”

MCGINNIS: Couple have been married 41 years

Locally Owned & Operated

From page 1

McGinnis won’t say that he was deserving of the honor, but what he will say is that he was “really surprised. They all got on Facebook and planned it. We went out to eat after church and it was really good.”

McGinnis said it’s something he’ll never forget.

McGinnis spent his childhood attending First Baptist Church of Ohatchee. After he and the former Maxine Phillips married, he joined Bonnie Brook Baptist and has been a member 40 years. He teaches the senior adult Sunday school class.

He and Maxine have four children and eight grandchildren.

Tracy Parris and her husband, Gary, live in Hokes Bluff with their sons, Dylan and Bradley. Richard and his wife, the former Kelly Mason, live in Guntersville. Their children are Madison and Brodey. Brandi Wood and her husband, Scott, live in Canton, Ga., with their children, MacKaila and Asher. Chad and his wife, the former Melissa Head, live in Gainesville, Fla.. Their children are Mae Jewell (named after her great-grandmothers) and Eliza.

Johnny and Maxine have been married 41 years. They attended Jacksonville High School at the same time and began dating with some help from Maxine’s minister, Rev. Knox Blount, who pastored at Bonny Brook Baptist at that time.

“He worked at Western Auto,” said McGinnis. “I went in one day to get an eight track tape player for my car from him. I asked him about her. I figured she was married. He told me no and said she’s not dating anyone. He carried my tape to my car and I thought that was unusual. He told me many years later that he did that to see if there was any alcohol smell in my car. After he couldn’t smell anything, he told me that I needed to call her sometime.”

McGinnis did just that. Rev. Blount married them a year and a half later.

McGinnis has worked for AT&T, South Central Bell and Bell South. He started as a lineman in 1969 at South Central Bell and was later an installed and repaired telephones. He retired as an electronics technician with AT&T in 2000, but not before taking two computer classes at Jacksonville State University.

Five years after he retired, he spent five months in Louisiana and Mississippi helping those who were affected

by Hurricane Katrina.

“In Lyman, Miss., they had what they called a tent city,” he said. “There were a bunch of tents set up for all of us -- tents for eating, tents for showers, tents for sleeping and tents for food. We were lucky when we got into a motel in Guia, Miss., about 30 miles from the Alabama line. They sent me to work in Bay St. Louis. I drove 79 miles to my job every morning.”

He came home to attend the funeral of his friend and neighbor, Harold Kilgore. He would have to attend another funeral before going back to Mississippi.

“I got home Friday night and the next morning I went into my mother-in-law’s room to see her,” he said. “She was staying with us. I went into the kitchen to drink a cup of coffee with my wife. When my wife went in to check on her, she was dead. I had just talked to her 10 minutes before.

Harold died May 10 and Jewell (Phillips) died May 13. I was supposed to go back to Gulfport, but I had to stay three extra days.”

Retired isn’t the correct word to use when describing the

Johnny and Maxine McGinnis current employment status of McGinnis. After retiring from working on telephones, he went out and got himself another job as custodian for Ohatchee High School. He then went to Ohatchee Elementary School and has been custodian at the community center for almost two years.

McGinnis considers himself blessed with his family, church and job.

“I feel very fortunate to work for the good people that I get to work for,” he said. “The mayor is a good man, and Janis Burns, my boss, is a good lady.”

McGinnis is the son of the late James and Frances (Rollins) McGinnis. His mother died in 2005; his father in 2002. He has two brothers, Danny of Piedmont, and Billy of Heflin.

McGinnis said if anyone wants to know what his hobby is, just ask his wife.

It will only take her a second to say it’s riding on his John Deere tractor.

McGinnis confessed that it’s true, he is on his tractor a lot, but said it’s necessary to keep his nine acres in the bush hogged and cleared off.

He and Maxine enjoy going on cruises together and vacationing and being with their children.

“We started cruising about seven years ago,” he said. “I like it, but to be honest with you, my most favorite thing to do is go to church. I love my church.”

McGinnis is thankful that his sons chose to go into the 1001174.1 ministry.

Cunningham has fast start with Braves ATLANTA - Braves outfielder Todd Cunningham took full advantage of his first chance to get into a Major League game last week, pinch-hitting for starter Alex Wood in the seventh inning and lining a single into left field off lefty Jeff Francis for his first big league hit in his first at-bat.

The former Jacksonville High and Jacksonville State star was elated.

“They have all the advance scouting reports and stuff in the dugout, so I kind of read over it,” Cunningham said after the Braves’ 11-3 victory. “So I knew [Francis] featured the fastball away, threw his changeup a lot and then had that slow curveball. I was just looking fastball away, got the changeup and kind of hooked it in the hole.”

Cunningham later scored his first career run in the inning, then remained in the game to play left field and was greeted with raucous cheers from the outfield pavilion as he ran to his position to start of the eighth.

“He’s one of those guys who is a solid baseball player who the more you watch, the more you appreciate,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

After Cunningham and some of his Triple-A Gwinnett teammates returned to the Atlanta area on Monday night, they went to Lake Lanier to spend time at David Hale’s father’s house.

As they were hanging out on the dock around midnight, Cunningham received a call from Gwinnett manager Randy Ready. Knowing the Trade Deadline was just two days away, he feared the worst as he walked away from the group to talk to Ready.

When Cunningham returned wearing a bright grin, his Gwinnett teammates immediately knew that Ready had called to inform Cunningham that he had been promoted to the Major League level.

“They knew something was up because I took the call and kind of walked off,” Cunningham said. “So it was kind of that awkward silence when I re-approached the group. It was kind of like, ‘What side of the news was it?’ There were lots of hugs and celebration. So it was a fun time.”

When the Braves placed Reed Johnson on the disabled list, they opted to promote Cunningham, who has hit .279 with 18 stolen bases and a .709 OPS in 99 games with Gwinnett. He is capable of playing each of the three outfield positions.

Since his opening game Cunningham has played in five games with five at bats and two singles. He has a .400 batting average heading into tonight’s game against Washington.

Community’s older generation is up, moving LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com Fall sports are already cranking up in Jacksonville. The Marching Southerners can be heard practicing meaning that football will soon be upon us. Area gyms are filled with volleyball teams getting ready for the upcoming arduous schedule.

Runners can be seen training for cross-country season.

Yet while the upcoming fall sports season promises to be an exciting and rewarding one Jacksonville, there are others out there putting in a lot of time to get, or stay, in shape.

Jacksonville’s older generation is taking advantage of many programs that are offered in Jacksonville to keep active and moving.

Over 40 members take advantage of classes taught through JSU’s Health Department.

Aubrey Crosson, who has been the Director of the Senior Adult Wellness, is over the water exercise classes, floor fitness and yoga. Some of the classes meet daily, others just a couple of times each week.

“These classes are offered year round based on the semester schedule,” said Crosson. The ages range from 65-84. Crosson says that some of the members have been coming for 15 years.

A lot of the participants are recovering from surgeries or have arthritis, “They talk about how much better they feel after they exercise,” remarked Crosson. “It’s very good for them, they have a social group and when they aren’t working out they spend the time talking and chatting with each other.”

Just a short walk from the coliseum is the JSU track where on any given morning you can see a group of seniors walking and running on the track. One group, who didn’t want to be identified, said they have been doing this now for over 34 years. The group spends at least one hour on the track and runs/walks three miles a day.

Jacksonville recently held District competition for the Masters Games of Alabama. 26 Jacksonville residents competed with 18 qualifying for state competition, some in multiple events, that will be held in Valley in early October.

Belva Durham, who is with the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission Area Agency on Aging, says that the Masters Games actually originated in Oxford when councilwoman Norma Martin pushed to have the games. Over 200 people competed the first year and that number has now risen to nearly 1,000.

Durham has been especially impressed with the efforts in Jacksonville where she says that training and competition are year round as opposed to other districts that train just for the district event in July and the state events in October.

Wendy Bussey, Senior Citizen Coordinator for the City of Jacksonville says that when the program started in Jacksonville five years ago there were four participants. That number has grown now to 26.

While most people believe that the Masters Games of Alabama is just for those who are members of Senior Citizen Centers, Bussey says this isn’t so. “This is a huge misconception,” noted Bussey. “While five or six years ago you had to be affiliated with a senior citizen center this is not longer the case.”

Individuals can enter the games without any affiliation and the age has been dropped to 50. “Fifty-year olds don’t consider themselves seniors,” said Bussey. “Fifty to sixty-year olds are still very competitive. They want to prove to themselves that they can still do it.”

While the “younger group” may be highly competitive, don’t kid yourself; the others are training just as hard and with amazing results.

Jacksonville’s Sue Campeaux is the reigning state champion

Lori Tippets

Former JHS quarterback Clarence McGinnis prepares to throw a frisbee at the District Masters Games of Alabama. in the basketball free throw competition in the 60-64 year old age group, last year having made 20 of her 21 shots. Campeaux will be competing in her fifth state games in October and has won the state championship in basketball four times. The last two years she has won seven gold medals and two silver medals in swimming. She is also a champ in the nerf football throw, the Frisbee throw, and shuffleboard. Campeaux practices 10 months of the year for the events.

“The Games are a huge motivational factor for me,” explained Campeaux. “To get up and move and exercise and be involved and the social interaction…it’s good for the body, mind, soul and spirit.

“The first time I was in a pool I looked at the other side and

really wasn’t sure I was gong to make it. To go from that to swimming 40 laps in practice helped my lung capacity and energy level.”

Clarence McGinnis, a former JHS quarterback, is still going strong in the sport having taken a silver medal at the games last year in the 80-84 age group.

Participants take place in a large group of events to include basketball, softball, Frisbee, football throw, dominoes, checkers, shuffleboard, line dancing and at the state level billiards, bowling, golf, horseshoes, swimming, tennis and a 5K. While the focus soon will be on high school and college sports, take note of another generation out there working just about as hard to maintain fitness and keep in shape.

Jacksonville State begins practice

Head football coach Bill Clark ran Jacksonville State through its first practice of the preseason on Friday evening and was extremely pleased with the opening day of drills.

The Gamecocks worked in helmets and shorts on Friday evening as Clark was able to mix all of his signees with the returning players.

“It was exciting,” Clark said following the two-plus hour workout. “Anytime you get out there for the first time, there is a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I felt like our guys really came back in great shape and that was something that we really stressed.

“We wanted to get bigger, faster and stronger in the off-season. We saw that and we practice at a pretty high rate of speed, so to see them handle that and do it with a lot of effort and enthusiasm is great to see,” added Clark.

Clark, a 1990 graduate of JSU and the 13th head coach in the modern era of Gamecock football, was hired to lead the program on Dec. 18 said that he was very pleased with the first day of practice.

“You are just getting acclimated to helmets,” Clark said of the first workout of the preseason.

“Now, you are also trying to install as much of your offense, defense and special teams you can, and there is a system to doing that. But, just being back out there as a unit is the biggest thing when you start.”

Clark and his staff inherited a program that has had 10-straight winning seasons but won just one conference title since 2004. The Gamecocks are picked fourth in the preseason OVC polls with new systems to be installed on both sides of the ball before the Gamecocks open the season on August 31 at Alabama State.

CONSOLIDATED PUBLISHING

LAURA GADDY Consolidated Publishing Friday Pulitzer Prizewinning writer Rick Bragg stood beneath the lights of JSU Stadium holding an honorary doctorate degree and told graduates that he wished he had earned it.

“I’d love to be among you, but I ain’t giving it back,” Bragg said. “Every one of you is smarter than me and if I can do it, you should be able to do it holding a concrete block.”

Bragg, 54, grew up just a few miles from Jacksonville and achieved fame as a man of the written word, first in newspapers, from The Anniston Star to The New York Times, and later in best-selling novels. Bragg graduated from Jacksonville High School in 1977 and started school at JSU soon after, but he never made it past the first semester.

“All my life I’ve driven past this place with a certain amount of regret,” Bragg said. “Every day after I quit, dropped out or was sent packing, I would drive by here wishing I had stuck it out.”

Bragg may not have needed a degree to find professional success, but the JSU graduates who walked away with degrees Friday are betting that they will.

“The opportunities I’ve had here have given me the opportunity to follow my dreams,” said Delana Parker. “I think it opens a lot of doors.”

Parker just returned from an internship at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

She said she majored in communications with a focus in broadcast and would like to as a motorsports reporter.

Brittany Fisher-Pinkard received a diploma for completing JSU’s nursing program. Fisher-Pinkard, 31, a wife and a mother to four children, received an associate’s degree years ago, but came back to JSU to get a bachelors degree.

“I needed it, of course, for the income,” Fisher-Pinkard said. “It just didn’t work out that I finished in four years.”

But Fisher-Pinkard said, for her, earning a bachelor’s degree was about more than just the power to earn a living.

“It’s me setting an example and letting my kids know no matter what obstacles get in your way, you can always overcome them,” FisherPinkard said.

The degrees also hold significance for the graduates’ families. Amanda Maynard’s mom and stepfather, Ramona and Jim Springs, traveled all the way from Iowa to watch the graduation ceremony.

“We are proud of her because she has shown determination,” Jim Springs said.

“It’s kind of a dream to step up and be a college graduate.”

iley Green couldn’t be more pleased with the turnout and success of the Back 40 Bash Saturday on Harold Boozer Road.

A crowd of about 1,400 came to be entertained by Green and his band, as well as Ricky Carden, Blake Flood and Joey Irby.

“I think it went very well for a first-time event,” said Green. “We were all very surprised at how many came out. We weren’t ready for that many people. This year was a learning experience. We hope to make it an annual event and we’ll make it even better next year. It was definitely a success.

Everybody had a good time.”

Marty Boyles of Jacksonville Auto Sales said he would be interested in seeing it become an annual event and he would sponsor it again.

“The turnout was excellent,” said Boyles.

“Everything went real well. The response from the community was wonderful.”

Sponsors were Mark Almaroad Construction, Jacksonville Home Center, Jacksonville Auto Sales, Jacksonville Book Store, Loco Mex, Modern Woodmen, Fortenberry Recycling, and Elegant Tan. Entertainment began at 6 p.m. and ended at 11 p.m.
