The Wrigley Wildcats Boys Basketball Team asked Coach James Kidd if they won "it all" – which meant if they won the whole District Tournament – if he would do do something for them. He said he would. They said ,"If we win the District Tournament we want you to shave your beard off.. as Logan Spencer said, "I want it as smooth as this" as he touched his baby face. The Wrigley Wildcats Boys Basketball Team went undefeated, A Team and B team boys. Then went on to win the District Tournament. Recently Coach Kidd went to have “before” and “after” pictures taken with his team. Coach Kidd kept his promise to them, and above is the “after” photo. His face might not be as slick as his players’, but he is now clean-shaven, mustache, beard and all. He has not been clean-shaven in over 10 years. Congratulations to the boys on their win!

Katie Hall

Katie Hall has signed with Toccoa Falls College, Toccoa, Georgia, for the 2015 volleyball season. Hall is a senior, outside hitter at Flowery Branch High School, in Flowery Branch, Georgia, where she was a starter and team captain her junior and senior years. Her awards include Scholar Athlete 2012-2014, All Area Honorable Men-tion 2013 And 2014, a Wendy’s Heisman Nominee and she was selected for FCA Captains Camp in 2013 and 2014. She currently plays for North Geor-gia Heat Volleyball Club.

Hall said of her decision to sign with Toccoa Falls, I am very excited to be playing for TFC and Coach Slate. I really feel like this is a team that I can thrive in and continue to improve through my collegiate volleyball career.

TFC’s head coach Selina Slate said, Katie is a great fit for TFC and our volleyball pro-gram. Her love for the sport and for the Lord is evident on and off the court, and I am looking forward to coaching her at the collegiate level.

Flowery Branch High School Coach Richard Godfrey called Hall one of the most dedicated players he has coached. He said Katie is a great example for her teammates and younger play-ers. She led the team in almost every statistic and is proof that hard work pays off. He stated, Katie is never satisfied with be-ing “pretty good” and is always striving for perfection. Her passion for the sport, athletic ability and work ethic make her “one of a kind”. I look forward to watching Katie continue to play the sport she loves at Toc-

coa Falls College. TFC really signed one of Flowery Branch’s best, stated Coach Godfrey.

North Georgia Heat Vol-leyball Club Coach Ted Deppe said Katie is an absolute joy to be around. Katie is willing to do whatever it takes to make herself and those around her better. Coach Deppe stated, Katie is a hard worker and is very dedicated to the sport of volleyball. Above all else, Katie is a very devoted follower of Jesus Christ which is the most important thing in life. I know

that many good things will come from this young lady’s life because she will always allow God to lead her. I know that she will do a great job at Toccoa Falls College.

Katie is the daughter of Vic and Pam (Whitt) Hall, of Flow-ery Branch, Georgia; the sister of Dalton Hall, of Flowery Branch, Georgia; and the grand-daughter of Carter and Versie Couch, of Flowery Branch, Georgia; Berchie Whitt, of Wellington; and Marge Payne, of Lakeland, Florida.

Your SocialSecurity

Security Is Our MiddleName

On March 6, Americans rec-ognize Middle Name Pride Day.

At the Social Security Ad-ministration, our middle name is “Security,” and every day, we do everything we can to live up to that name. As part of protecting our vital services, we safeguard against all forms of Social Security fraud.

Social Security has zero-tolerance for fraud and those who try to cheat the system. While we can’t prevent all fraud schemes any more than the best police force can stop all crime, we work aggressively with our Office of the Inspector General to investigate and prosecute people who commit fraud.

Acting Commissioner Caro-lyn Colvin’s message to those who would defraud Social Security is clear: “We will find you; we will prosecute you; we will seek the maximum punish-ment allowable under the law; and we will fight to restore to the American public the money you’ve stolen.”

We provide benefits to one-fifth of the American popula-tion, including elderly retirees, people with severe illnesses, and widows and children after the death of a wage earner. Our beneficiaries also include wounded warriors and the chronically ill, all of whom tend to be the most vulnerable of our population. Protecting our criti-cally important programs from fraud can be challenging. Yet, our standard is absolute--any fraud is unacceptable. And, our focus on preventing fraud works.

Our Office of the Inspec-tor General works in concert with our frontline employees to identify fraud and bring of-fenders to justice. together, we use a number of tools to help us accurately predict where fraud may occur. By monitor-ing cases closely, we identify fraud sooner rather than later--and often we prevent it before it happens. We also have stiff penalties that discourage people from committing fraud, includ-ing hefty fines, suspension of benefits, and even jail time for the most severe offenses.

We take our middle name seriously and so should you. If

you suspect someone is com-mitting Social Security fraud, we ask that you report it online at http://oig.ssa.gov/report or call the Social Security Fraud Hotline at 1-800-269-0271 im-mediately.
