JobsPlus in Crestview has recently partnered with the Okaloosa County Jail to assist inmates that are soon to re-enter the workforce. On a monthly basis, representatives from JobsPlus career center go to the jail and assist in-mates in fi nding a job.

Representatives from JobsPlus career center, lo-cated on Wilson Street, use their specialized mobile one-stop unit.

Travis B. Hiers Sr., 95, of Crestview, passed away Feb. 18, 2012. He was born in Ehrhardt, S.C., and raised in Tallahassee by his late parents, Bernard and Lottie Hiers.

In 1939 he and his wife, Ruth Carmack Hiers, gave birth to a son, Travis B Hiers Jr. In 1942 he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard and retired honorably in 1969.

His retirement brought him to Fort Walton Beach, where

he found work in the engineering department of Centel Telephone Company. During this time, he became an active volunteer of the American Legion. He served as post commander and judge advocate. During his service with the legion he spent many years assisting with the Boys State Program. In his final years he was comfortably accommodated and loved by the staff at Carington Manor.

Though his hearing and voice were not as good as they once were, “Papa” was still in charge.

Pop, as he was known to his family, is survived by his daughter-in-law, Charlene Hiers; granddaughter, Cherrie Loomis; grandson, Nicholas Loomis; and a great-great-granddaughter, Stella Rose Loomis.

A time of visitation was on Thursday, Feb. 23, from 4-6 p.m. at Crestview

Memorial Funeral Home. Graveside services with honors were at Beal Memorial Cemetery on Friday, Feb. 24, at 10 a.m.

In lieu of flowers the family requested that donations be made to the American Legion.

Arrangements were entrusted to Crestview Memorial Funeral Home. You may offer condolences, share memories and sign the guest book at www.crestviewmemorialfh.com.

Northwest Florida. The only state managed land that matches the criteria outlined in the bills is the Blackwater State Forest.

“Blackwater is the only state land that is designated for multi-use, and oil and gas exploration is one of those uses,” Evers’ chief legislative assistant Mike Bascom said.

This concerns Weston Audu-bon Society of Pensacola Presi-dent Dana Timmons, whose organization was asked by the Blackwater Forestry Center to conduct a census of birds in the forest. Timmons’ group also has been instrumental in efforts to revive a rare, endangered bird species found in the forest.

“We have more than 2,000 hours invested in the forest,” Simmons said. “The red-cockad-ed woodpecker is an endangered bird and is found in that forest. Our Audubon group has a big investment in the forest and we hate to see things interrupted.”

Bascom said that under exist-ing state laws, the forest’s board of trustees must approve oil and gas prospecting in Blackwater. However, nothing in the law pro-hibits other oil companies from moving in and drilling once a rival company locates gas or oil reserves.

Bascom described Evers’ bill as “just the procedure how we move it forward. Who gets to bid on what and how we’d move forward is what the bill addresses.”

The bill doesn’t authorize drilling, Bascom said, but would allow an oil company to request an oil lease without waiting for it to be offered by the state. Before the state acquired the land from the federal government, oil and gas exploration had already oc-curred on it.

“There’s been prospecting in the past which has interrupted the forest, and it cost the taxpay-ers money to restore those areas which had been damaged from past drilling operations,” Tim-mons said in an interview with WUWF radio. “We as taxpay-ers and people who care about the environment should be con-cerned about what kind of recip-rocal damage we may receive.”

State law prohibits drilling within a mile of water, including the Blackwater River, which is popular with canoeists. Bascom said Evers would expect that the forest’s trustees would require as part of a mining lease a bond assuring that any damage to the environment would be repaired, including cleaning up spills and replanting any deforested areas, “so the state isn’t on the hook.”

“The senator is interested in making sure we’re protecting our natural resources,” Bascom said.

On Feb. 13, Evers’ bill passed the Senate Communications, Energy, and Public Utilities Committee. The Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee has adjourned as senators prepared for the start of the Legislative session.

Ford’s version passed the House Energy and Utilities Sub-committee, the Appropriations Committee and the State Affairs Committee. Follow its progress at www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2012/695.

“I don’t think they’ll be drill-ing right away, but let’s use the procedures we have in place now. I don’t think that needs to change,” Timmons said. “Basi-cally, we don’t want to see any in-terruptions in what the Forestry Department has done up there in the recovery of the forest.”

“It is our hope that they can leave here and overcome their circumstances.”

Although some might ques-tion why someone would hire the inmates, program administra-tors said they can give several reasons why employers should consider them.

For one thing, there are sev-eral tax credit incentives avail-able for employers who hire those convicted of a crime. They also pointed to a little-known federal program that protects employers.

The Federal Bonding pro-gram acts as an insurance policy for employers that hire at-risk applicants. The program pro-tects employers from employee theft; including larceny, forgery or embezzlement.

The program is not only for individuals that are about to be released from incarceration, but also for those that have trouble keeping a steady job or are de-pendent on welfare.

Inmates also have used the program to enroll for federal as-sistance programs to help them while they search for a job.

One inmate, Jessica Steven-son, even has used the program to apply for a federal Pell grant in order to attend college.

Stevenson, 28, is scheduled to be released soon. A former Val-paraiso resident residing in Ten-nessee, she is serving a short stint for violation of probation on a charge of driving with a sus-pended or revoked license. She praised both JobsPlus and the Okaloosa County Department

of Corrections for putting this program together. Stevenson used the program to apply for financial aid and put together a resume. She said she hopes to attend college and become a medical assistant.

“The program is very eye-opening,” Stevenson said. “It has provided endless avenues of opportunities for us.”

Perry Robinson, 29, a Crest-view native, was released on Valentine’s Day on a charge of driving without a valid license. Robinson was so impressed with the staff at JobsPlus that, before his release, he planned to use the Crestview location, along with its staff and resources.

“To have them push you in the right direction really helps,”

Robinson said. “They treat you like family.”

“They are going to be some-body’s neighbors,” JobsPlus Manager Rita Smith said of the inmates. “If we can help them to reintegrate to life outside those walls, into the workplace and become self-sufficient, then I certainly think we have done our part in helping them out.”

say the Pledge of Allegiance to that flag.”

Mayor David Cadle recited the poem “My Name is Old Glory” by Howard Schnauber, a New York farm boy who joined the Marine Corps and fought in World War II in the Pacific Theater.

“I am proud. My name is Old Glory. Dear God, long may I

wave,” the poem read in part.After the Crestview Fire

Department’s honor guard pre-sented the colors, Young Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Warren, 16, led the assembly in the recita-tion of the pledge. Local singer Sandra Daggs, who had sung a stirring rendition of “America the Beautiful” earlier in the ceremo-

ny, then sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Among those saluting as the pledge was said and the col-ors subsequently retired was Garnett McMullen, a member of the American Legion and a veteran of World War II. He said he was proud to represent his comrades in arms at the

Presidents Day ceremony.“I graduated high school on

the fourth day of June in 1942. On the 16th of June, I enlisted in the old Army Air Corps,” McMullen said.

He fought in North Africa as well as the European Theater of Operations. “The only thing I was disappointed in was I wanted to

cross the Rhein River,” he said. “I got to the edge of it but I never got across.”

Cox promised that the Ex-change Club would return each year at the same time to lead members of the community in saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

“We look forward to seeing you in February of 2012,” Cox said.

wreaths and give the majority of each sale back to the group.”

Carey Williams is another Crestview businesswoman who pitched in to help after learning about the team’s need for uniforms. “I am very excited that within a couple of days of posting on Facebook and word of mouth, I was able to secure $300 in donations for these

wonderful children,” Williams said. “I have noticed that not many people in this community are even aware that the special needs team exists. I also opened a Scentsy (wickless scent warmer and fragrances) party online to donate a percentage of my commissions to the team.”

“I am touched to see these great kids having this great

opportunity to cheer their hearts out and I just want to help,” Williams said.

In addition to Brooks, Candace Floyd, Joseph Floyd and Jonathan Brooks also help coach the team, which meets from 5:30-7 p.m. Fridays at the Triple Threat Studio at 912 N. Ferdon Blvd. Classes are free.

“All Special Olympics competitions in the state have

certified coaches who work with the teams and with the volunteers,” Candace Floyd said. “You take your strengths and interests and volunteer in that area and they train you to help these athletes to improve every day.”

Crestview’s new city clerk, Bet-sy Roy, has been in office for less than two months, but already is identifying improvements to pro-cedures and technology that can be implemented in her department. In a report to the city council, she deferred to Finance Director Patti Beebe, who updated the council on progress in several areas.

“The first quarter of fiscal year 2012 is pretty much on track,” Bee-be said. “Water, sewer and garbage (revenue) has increased. Sewer is up 9 percent.”

Fewer water and sewer con-nections, however, have lowered revenue in overall utility fund rev-enue, Beebe said, but its expendi-tures are on track.

“Overall we’re doing pretty good,” she said.

Progress also continues to be made in implementing the recom-mendations of consultants who evaluated the Utilities Billing De-partment last year, Beebe said. Among them, the department has gone to two-cycle monthly billing and taken over the responsibility of meter reading, a task formerly

handled by Public Works.In addition, steps have been

taken to integrate data from vari-ous sources into the city’s billing and usage system. The next step is to integrate data from the Code Enforcement and Planning and Zoning departments into the sys-tem, a process Beebe said might be accomplished by the summer.

Council members encouraged the department to utilize new technology to benefit citizens, in-cluding implementing electronic payments over the Internet. A

challenge, Beebe said, is that the city has no full-time technology staff member and must rely on a contractor who is only paid to ad-dress the city’s entire IT needs twice a week.

“If we’re going to stay on top of technology, would you guys con-sider implementing a technology department in the future?” Beebe asked the council.

“We have an immediate need for getting into the 21st century as far as online technology,” council member Robyn Helt said. “That’s something I’d like to see us very aggressively pursue. Right now, we’re doing a disservice to the citizens because we cannot offer that capability. We’re behind the times.”

Council member Tim Grand-berry noted in neighboring Nice-ville, citizens can pay their util-ity bills at some area stores. “We have to have a mindset that says, we want to be progressive,” Helt said.

“Our limitations to this point are not due to what we want to do, but what our equipment can do,” Roy said. “I can assure you the clerk’s office is very, very forward thinking.”

In related matters: • After researching how other

communities handle the matter of citizens being compelled to pay for garbage collection they may not want when they sign up for water and sewer service that they do need, Roy reported, “It is our recommendation from our office that we do not change solid waste disposal at this time.”

“It is good to see what other cit-ies do, but we don’t need other cit-ies dictating what our city does,” said resident Thomas Gordon, who raised the issue when he was billed for garbage collection he doesn’t use and was provided a garbage bin after he complained about the policy.

“We don’t need the government dictating my trash service,” Gor-don said.

The council offered no action following Roy’s report.

• The council voted unani-mously to grant the city clerk’s of-fice discretionary duty to oversee the content of promotional fliers inserted in city water bills. Roy said waiting for approval from another department often slowed the timely insertion of the an-nouncements.

John was a very poor speller. The time came for the class to have its weekly test, and he wasn’t doing very well with some rather difficult words. The whisper came very softly from the Tempter, “Look at Jane’s paper. She is really smart.”

John gave in to that suggestion and copied down a couple of words from her paper. The teacher noticed this and was very surprised because John was normally a very good student who worked on his own and would never cheat.

When it came time to turn in the tests, all of the students brought their papers forward. The teacher noticed that John was still sitting there with his head bowed. Then he lifted his head and tore up his paper and started to walk out of the class.

The teacher called him up and said, “John, I was watching you and I want you to know that I am very proud of what you have just done. Today you really passed a much greater examination than your spelling test.”

Just after Jesus had just been baptized he needed to go off into the wilderness to spend some time alone prior to beginning his ministry. He didn’t eat during that time. At the end of the 40 days he was hungry. That was an opportune time and the Tempter approached Jesus and presented him with three very plausible

and reasonable scenarios.

Jesus had fasted 40 days and was probably hungry, weak, and tired, so the Tempter said to himself, “OK. It’s time to set the hook.” Then he said to Jesus, “Look, you’re hungry.

God has given you some wonderful powers. Turn these stones into bread. Satisfy your hunger.”

I can imagine Jesus pondering, “Should I do that? Should I use the power God has given me and take care of my own need and feed myself?” Then Jesus probably thought, “But if I do that for myself, will others expect me to do the same thing for them? Will they expect me to meet their physical needs? There would be nothing wrong with that, but what they really need is for me to meet their spiritual needs.”

Giving people what they wanted — food, clothing, necessities of life — would have been like bribing them. No, he knew there was something deeper within people that he needed to feed: their spiritual hunger, their need for God.

So, Jesus resisted the temptation to take the easy route to people’s hearts by meeting their physical needs. He chose the more challenging, yet infinitely more fulfilling route — using his gifts to feed people’s spiritual hunger. So Jesus responded to the devil by saying, “People do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes

from the mouth of God.” In the second

temptation, Jesus saw himself standing on a mountain from which the whole civilized world could be seen. The Tempter said, “Worship me and all of this will be yours.” In a way he was saying, “Compromise yourself. Don’t take this God stuff too seriously. Surely God didn’t intend for you to follow everything he has said. Why don’t you just pick and choose those few things that are good for you and then do the rest for me and all of this will be yours.”

How did Jesus respond? He said, “You shall worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” In other words, we are not to compromise our faith.

But isn’t that what so many people do today, compromise their faith? They seem to pick and choose which of God’s commands they are going to follow.

If it suits their needs or purposes, they’ll follow it. If it is too difficult they won’t. This is where Christianity gets the label of “hypocrite” in the eyes of so many. Cursing, lying, cheating, gossiping, compromising integrity and so on.

The temptation is to not take God’s teachings too seriously all the time, to believe we deserve to misbehave a little now and then. And when we buy into that we stop focusing upon God and start focusing upon ourselves. We are to remain firm in our faith.

The third temptation was perhaps the most subtle of them all. It was a

lie disguised very cleverly as the truth. It was almost as if the devil was saying, “OK. You are pretty strong and I admit completely that you are God’s son. Therefore, I’m sure you can expect no more hardship in your life. Since you’re God’s son, certainly from this time forward he is going to protect you from anything that could hurt you. Into whatever seeming danger you might go, he will bear you up so that you don’t get hurt.”

Jesus saw himself standing on the pinnacle of the temple. It was sheer drop of 450 feet to the valley below. The devil said, “Jump and God will protect you.”

The devil was cleverly trying to deceive Jesus into believing, “This will be a sign to you that you are God’s chosen. Nothing bad will ever happen to you.” Jesus could have accepted that. It sounded reasonable to believe that if he was chosen by God, and if he was good enough, nothing bad would happen to him.

But Jesus knew he could not expect God to do something God never promised to do. He would not make God prove himself in any way. Jesus replied, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

The temptations Jesus faced were tailor-made just for him. Ours are too. The Tempter knows when we are tired. He knows when we are struggling. He knows where we are weak. That’s exactly when and where we get hit.

It is important to remember that God has not promised us a perfect life. He knows there will be

times of difficulty, times of challenge and temptations to be faced.

God promised that when we go through difficult times — notice that word “when,” not “if” — He will be with us to help us through. He will sustain us. He will help make us stronger.

But God never promised to take difficulties and temptations away from us. So don’t buy into the temptation to expect from God what he never promised in the first place.

Expect from God what he has promised – his loving presence, his forgiveness and grace and life eternal in Jesus Christ.

One of Davidson’s three robotics teams, Pantherbotz, is going to state level competition after taking fi rst place in Robot Performance during the Feb. 4 regional First Lego League contest in Panama City. The state competition is being hosted in Melbourne by the Florida Institute of Technology. The theme for this year’s FLL contest is Food Factor Challenge, which deals with food safety issues.

First Lego League is a robotics program where elementary through high school age students use science, technology, engineering and math to program NXT Robotics and design research projects based on current world issues. They also learn about problem solving teamwork, and professionalism through the research-based project.

Currently coached by teacher Tim Sexton, the Davidson teams have participated in the FLL tournaments for the past three years.

Okaloosa County teams competing in the regional part of the tournament also included Bob Sikes Elementary School, Shoal River Middle School, and Destin Elementary School.

Bob Sikes has two FLL robotics teams, the Rockin Robots and the Robotic Bullpups, coached by teachers Kathy Morris and Ulaunda Nunn.

They have competed in three local area competitions and received several awards. At the regional tournament, the Bob Sikes teams received second place out of 14 teams from across the region for Best Robot Performance and Best

Research Project. In addition to that, both teams scored high enough to receive bids to the state FLL tournament in Melbourne Florida hosted by FIT, Florida Institute of Technology.

Davidson and Bob Sikes faculty and staff members are proud to have such strong STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) programs in the north end of the district. The students are very motivated and want to continue in robotics as they move through elementary school, middle school and high school. The FLL program provides students with an exciting vehicle for launching a lasting interest in science, technology, engineering and math careers.

Their potential to succeed is limitless, however, they desperately need sponsors to continue in their mission and move along in competition. We live in an area rich in the technology and engineering fi eld. The students on the robotics teams are looking for sponsors with a vested interest in STEM education and fostering future engineers for America.

Kiwanis Club to host Pancake Day March 3

New music store fills needed niche

By Brian [email protected]

In a community that boasts a nationally recognized, 250-mem-ber high school band that is fed by two complete middle school bands, not to mention instrumental music programs in several elementary schools, Dick Reinlie feels pretty confident that he’s chosen the right place to open a new music store.

Reinlie’s Upbeat Music, tucked between Tractor Supply Co. and Pic-N-Sav at 316 W. James Lee Blvd., held its soft opening recent-ly. He and his staff might not have been quite ready, but his customers certainly were.

“We’re still stocking, but so many people have been putting their noses in the door we decided to go ahead and open,” Reinlie said. “We didn’t want to open without a full store, but we’ve had so many peo-

ple stopping by.”No stranger to the business,

Reinlie and some of his staff mem-bers have had careers in other Northwest Florida music stores. Noticing that a substantial percent-age of their customers came from Crestview, they realized they could fulfill a need.

“I’d help customers from Crest-view every day,” sales associate Lacy Gatlin said. “Almost 40 per-cent of our customers were from up here.”

Upbeat Music specializes in gui-tars, including familiar brands such as Ibanez, Fender, Martin, Crafter, Segal and Yamaha; band instru-ments by Jupiter; and Yamaha and Casio keyboards. The store also car-ries drums, sheet music, and music accessories. A special front room displays a selection of fine acoustic guitars.

Reinlie said his store will con-tinue to support his customers with services including instruction and instrument repair after they’ve pur-chased or rented their instruments.

“We’ll be teaching guitars,

drums, voice, violin and all the band instruments,” he said.

Four lesson rooms with six inches of blown insulation between them, including a drum practice room with 10 inches of insulation, are behind the showroom. Also off the showroom is a recital room with a small stage for performances and open-mic nights.

Assisting Reinlie, in addition to Gatlin, are J.C. Murphy, who will specialize in online sales through the store’s PriceBeatMusic.com website, and Reinlie’s son John, who, as drummer for Dread Clam-pett, also is no stranger to the music industry.

It has been many years since Crestview last had a music store, despite being the hometown of the county’s first band. Upbeat Music is proud to fill that void, Reinlie said, and looks forward to serving musi-cians from Crestview, neighboring communities, counties and out of state.

“One thing we’re trying to do is have a store that will attract people regionally,” he said.

The annual Crestview Kiwanis Club Pancake Day will be from 7-11 a.m. Sat-urday, March 3, at Coach & Four Restaurant in Crest-view. The fundraiser has been a part of the organi-zation’s fundraising efforts for more than 50 years, Ki-wanis President Mike Roy said.

“The money raised an-nually goes to fund local projects,” Roy said. “We support several local proj-ects with this money. We have an adopted classroom in each school in the Crest-view area.

“We also support the United Methodist Church’s Children’s Home here in Crestview, as well as two scholarships at Northwest Florida State College. We give funds to the Seniors versus Crime program and the No Child Without Health Care program. So

we raise funds for many nonprofits in our area and Pancake Day is a big part of that.”

Tickets are $5 each and may be purchased in ad-vance through any member of the Crestview Kiwanis Club or at the door the morning of the event.

Crestview Kiwanis meets each Wednesday at noon at the Coach & Four for lunch, network-ing and includes a guest speaker.

For more information about Pancake Day or Ki-wanis, call Mike Roy at 225-3532.

Tuesday was a tough night for the Crestview baseball team.

Bulldog pitchers walked seven batters, hit another, and the Crest-view offense managed just three hits in a 5-3 loss to Mosley in Dis-trict 2-6A play.

In the early going a gloomy fi n-ish didn’t seem to be headed Crest-view’s way.

Starting pitcher Dylan Lee held the Dolphins without a hit in the fi rst three innings and Mosley had just one base runner, who reached on a Bulldog error.

Crestview (1-2, 0-2) scored three times in the bottom of the third to take a lead that at the time seemed to be enough with the way Lee was pitching in the early going.

The Bulldog rally started with a one-out base hit off the bat of Den-nis Gibbons. Lee and Dakota Dean then drew back-to-back walks to load the bases.

With the bases full Derek Lovelace barely beat out a slow roller to the short to score Gib-bons. Justin Rebholtz, who was running for Lee, scored as Kamer-

on Miller walked. And Dean closed out the scoring, crossing the plate on a wild pitch by Mosley reliever Aaron Thompson.

Thompson, who replaced start-er Andrew Deramo, struck out Seth Thomason and Tyler Hender-son to end the Bulldog rally.

The rest of the game belonged to the Dolphins.

Mosley picked up a pair of runs in the fourth and two more in the fi fth and an insurance run in the sixth. And the Dolphins scored the fi ve runs while getting just four hits.

Things might have been worse if Crestview’s pitcher had not picked three Dolphin base runners off of fi rst base.

The Bulldogs continued to struggle through the fi nal four in-nings getting just one hit, a single by Dean in the fi fth inning, the rest of the night.

Even with the struggles, Crest-view still had a chance to tie or win the game in the seventh inning.

Tate Sweatt and Jimmy Crou-soure reached on walks and Lovelace was safe on a two-out error by the Dolphins that brought Miller to the plate.

Miller made good contact with the fi rst pitch, delivering a wicked line drive just past the third base coaching box. The loud fi rst strike was as close as Miller got to a hit and he struck out to end the game.

Bulldog coach Tim Gillis wasn’t happy with the way the game un-folded or the start of the Crestview season.

“You can’t walk 10 and get just three hits and beat good baseball teams and that’s what we did to-night,” he said. “I’ve done a bad job of preparing these guys getting ready to play at this level.

“But we’ve got a long way to go and we’ve got to get a lot better in a lot of areas of the game. We are very poor right now.”

Crestview falls to Dolphins

By Randy [email protected]

There is a popular saying that minor league baseball fans see the Major League stars of tomorrow.

And while I agree with that statement, and I look forward to going to Pensacola this year to see Pensacola’s new Double A minor league team, I would contend that fans can see some Major League stars of the future in local high school ballparks.

If you were in this area and followed high school baseball in 1963, your memories might include a young right-handed pitcher from Tate that went on to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Don Sutton.

Maybe you are like me and weren’t in the area when Sutton played at Tate, or you were just too

young to remember. That’s OK because anyone that has followed high school baseball in Northwest Florida for any amount of time has seen state championship teams, number one draft picks and more future Major League players than one region should be allowed to claim.

Crestview has even sent a guy to the big leagues, John Bale. And former Crestview and Louisiana State star Blake Dean is currently trying to climb the ladder to the big leagues. Laurel Hill had Nate Moore, who played a few years in the Kansas City Royals organization.

I remember the excitement surrounding the CHS program when Dean was pitching and playing center fi eld for the

Bulldogs. It was fun arriving at the ballpark and seeing baseball scouts, with radar guns in hand, monitoring his every move.

And before I get any emails or phone calls, I know there are several players from Crestview who spent some time in the minor leagues, including Dexter Day,

Anthony Brown and current Bulldog baseball coach Tim Gillis.

As much as any aspect of the job, I enjoy my afternoon and evenings covering high school baseball and softball as I set up shop in my favorite chair behind the backstop just off center of home plate.

I still marvel at the skills of these young men and women as they swing the bat, fl ash some

defense and make strong and accurate throws.

There is something about the games that remind me of an earlier time when I was in the spring of life and nothing was better than a nice spring day with freshly cut grass and the sights and sounds of the game.

This year should be another strong year for the Crestview baseball team, which is coming off a district championship. The Bulldog softball team should be OK too if given enough time.

Baker’s softball team and baseball teams could contend in the new District 2-1A. And Laurel Hill could be in the mix for things in baseball and softball in District 1-1A.

At this time of year hope springs eternal for every team. Yes, it’s time to play ball.

With spring upon us, it is time to play ball

Ben Kimbrough enters his seventh season as the Crestview tennis coach with a mixed bag of expectations.

Kimbrough expects the Lady Bulldogs, who were 3-1 prior to Thursday’s match with Tate, to be very competitive. His expectations for the Bulldogs, who were 0-4 pri-or to Thursday’s play, were a little more guarded.

“The girls team is pretty strong,” he said. “The boys team is really young, but we are trying to put some things together.

“The girls beat Fort Walton Beach, Choctaw and Lincoln. We lost to Niceville, but we didn’t get swept there, which is a positive.”

Being good for the girls might not be good enough in a District

1-3A that includes defend-ing state champion Leon along with Lincoln, Mosley and Okaloosa County rivals Choctawhatchee, Fort Walton Beach and Niceville.

An already strong Nice-ville team got a big boost when Brooke Durden trans-

ferred from South Walton. Durden was 17-1 last year while playing for the Class 1-A Seahawks, with her only loss coming in the state fi nals.

“This is the toughest district we’ve been in for a long time and the level of play on the girls side is higher all the way through,” Kim-brough said. “I don’t see any breaks (powder puff wins) this season.”

The Crestview girls are led by No. 1 seed Foster Lux, a sophomore. Jackie Hanners is the two seed and Sydney Pinkert is the three seed. Brittany Didonato is the four seed and Megan Adams the fi ve seed.

Hanners is a junior. Pinkert, Didonato and Adams are all seniors. Didonato picked up the only win for Crestview in the loss to Niceville.

Hanners and Lux are the number one doubles team and Didonato and Pinkert are the number two doubles squad.

The boys team isn’t nearly as experienced or deep as their female counterparts.

No. 1 seed Paul Tilley is the lone Bulldog with any real varsity experience.

“He’s our only senior on the team,” Kim-brough said. “He had a win against Lincoln in the number one match.

“There are a couple of other boys on the team that stand out — a freshman named Sage Boho is our number four player and he just got his fi rst high school win. And then

we’ve got a sophomore, Ryan Edwards, who had a win against Choctaw. This is his fi rst year playing too.”

Kimbrough said a big problem with the boys is often they aren’t introduced to tennis until they get to high school.

“A lot of times they don’t pick up the game until they get to high school here in

Crestview,” he said. “The girls have always been pretty strong because they see it as a sport they can play and get into.

“Most of the top tier boys concentrate on baseball, football and basketball and now even soccer, so there’s a lot of competition with the sport. We’ve just got to get them in the game earlier and see if we can take ad-vantage of that.”

“The girls beat Fort Walton Beach, Choctaw and Lincoln. We lost to Niceville, but we didn’t get swept there, which is a positive.”

Being good for the girls might not be good enough in a District

1-3A that includes defend-ing state champion Leon along with Lincoln, Mosley and Okaloosa County rivals Choctawhatchee, Fort Walton Beach and Niceville.

An already strong Nice-ville team got a big boost when Brooke Durden trans-

ferred from South Walton. Durden was 17-1 last year while playing for the Class 1-A Seahawks, with her only loss coming in the state fi nals.

“This is the toughest district we’ve been in for a long time and the level of play on the girls side is higher all the way through,” Kim-brough said. “I don’t see any breaks (powder puff wins) this season.”

The Crestview girls are led by No. 1 seed Foster Lux, a sophomore. Jackie Hanners is the two seed and Sydney Pinkert is the three seed. Brittany Didonato is the four seed and Megan Adams the fi ve seed.

Hanners is a junior. Pinkert, Didonato and Adams are all seniors. Didonato picked up the only win for Crestview in the loss to Niceville.

Hanners and Lux are the number one doubles team and Didonato and Pinkert are the number two doubles squad.

The boys team isn’t nearly as experienced or deep as their female counterparts.

No. 1 seed Paul Tilley is the lone Bulldog with any real varsity experience.

“He’s our only senior on the team,” Kim-brough said. “He had a win against Lincoln in the number one match.

“There are a couple of other boys on the team that stand out — a freshman named Sage Boho is our number four player and he just got his fi rst high school win. And then

we’ve got a sophomore, Ryan Edwards, who had a win against Choctaw. This is his fi rst year playing too.”

Kimbrough said a big problem with the boys is often they aren’t introduced to tennis until they get to high school.

“A lot of times they don’t pick up the game until they get to high school here in

Crestview,” he said. “The girls have always been pretty strong because they see it as a sport they can play and get into.

Readers familiar with our annual baseball/softball section know that middle school teams have been a part of the section for many years.

Unfortunately, middle school programs won’t be included in the section this year. The reason is the starting dates for 2012 middle school baseball and softball seasons have been moved to the third week in April.

The season starts April 19 and doesn’t wrap up until May 16. With the later starting and ending days most middle schools were still in the process of selecting their teams as we hit the deadline for the special section.

But don’t worry, while the middle schools aren’t in this special section, the News Bulletin will run all the middle school photos, rosters and schedules as the season approaches in April.

Okaloosa County School District Coordinator of Student Services Jerry Sansom said there is a simple explanation for the late start.

“The reason we had to do that was because the umpire association we use are unable to call our games before then, he said. “When we submitted our schedule for the season they were already booked with high school tournaments.

“We didn’t want to use umpires from outside the area because we would have had to pay their travel

expenses and that would have cost us more.”

Mike Martello, who coaches the middle school baseball team at Baker, said the schedule offers some unique problems.

“It’s a little bit aggravating because when we get into the end of the year we have so many other activities going on,” he said. “We would like to have our sports programs concluded before we get into the academic portion of the year when they have to start studying for semester exams.

“Getting down there toward the end of it is when teachers in the classroom really want them focused on the academics of it.”

Given the available options, Martello can see why the decision was made for the later start of the season.

“I completely understand why they chose to go with the later one (starting date),” he said. “The alternative was to play for a couple of weeks and then take a couple of weeks off in the middle of the season when the umpires were going to be busy doing something else and then come back after that for a couple of more weeks.

“That option wasn’t as good because you have that long time off in the middle.”
