    THRILLER from page A9

    Freshman Corey Armstrong fell behind in the count one ball and two strikes before grounding to Rickard at third. Rickard’s throw to fi rst was low and in the dirt, allowing Arm-strong to reach safely and Graham to score from second base.

    As good as Donofro was against the Aggies, he couldn’t have won the game alone. Once again, the Bulldog defense rose to the occasion, making all the routine plays and some not-so-routine plays.

    Crestview right fi elder Justin Rebholz made the defensive play of the game in the top of the fourth in-ning. With two outs and a runner on second base, Rickard sent a sinking line drive into shallow right-center fi eld.

    Rebholz did his best belly fl op as he made the diving catch to end the Aggie threat.

    “I knew there was a runner on base that could have scored,” Reb-holz said. “When the ball went up, I knew I had to do it to help my team.”

    Gillis couldn’t express just how big the catch was by Rebholz.

    “It was absolutely an unbelievable play,” he said. “He’s such a great kid. He’s a warrior.

    “He’s been a winner his whole life. That play saved us.”

    Aggie pitcher J.T. Granat took the hard luck loss. Granat allowed the two hits to Donofro and one hit each to Rebholz and Dean. Granat struck out seven Bulldog batters while allowing just two walks, but the unearned run made the game’s difference.

    Brunson continued to stress the importance of hav-ing a physical team as the Gators prepare to practice in pads for the fi rst time on Monday. He said he wants to see his players come off the ball with good pad level (to gain leverage), to beat the opposition to the fi rst punch and for them to continue moving and driving their feet after making the fi rst contact so they can win the line of scrimmage.

    One of the more inter-esting things to watch this spring will be the battle be-tween Jon Beck and Ben

    Crowson for the starting quarterback job.

    Brunson said in the end, both players will see action at quarterback in the fall, and it’s nice to have two tal-ented players at the key po-sition on the fi eld.

    “Both of those quarter-backs are very capable of running our offense, and we are going to keep working both of them,” Brunson said. “And again, Ben is going to see some time on defense, so it’s going to be a very good situation to have two guys that can do what those two guys can do.”

    Hatten’s philosophy is that by practicing fast and being in con-stant motion, the conditioning will take care of itself. That’s not to say the players won’t run and condition during the summer, but this spring Hatten wants to spend as much practice time working on the nuts and bolts of football.

    Even as Hatten is trying to fi g-ure out who some of the players are, there were some who didn’t disappoint him in his fi rst live look.

    “Obviously, the guys I think are pretty good players are pretty good players,” he said referring

    to Emmanuel Reed and Jaylynne Robinson. “They are pretty easy to fi nd out there.”

    A large part of the spring will be spent trying to get the new offense from the thinking pro-cess for the players to reaction process.

    “With us, we’ve got be real cognitive and make sure we are thinking,” Hatten said. “Once that thinking becomes second na-ture, your aggressiveness comes out on offense.

    “You can’t do a lot of thinking; it has to be reactive, but it’s a pro-cess and we will get there.”

    CRESTVIEW — An animal rescuer will care for an injured Twin Hills Park Muscovy duck after a Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis-sion-licensed rehabilitator provides treatment.

    Public Works Department staff-ers on Wednesday captured the 10-pound waterfowl, which had eluded rescue since December.

    The duck, with distinctive red head markings, had been a concern for park regulars who noticed fi sh-ing line wrapped around its swollen left leg.

    Ronda Bell on Monday noticed the duck’s injured leg had fallen off

    over the weekend. “Bless his heart,” she said. Public Works Director Wayne

    Steele said his department, which oversees Parks and Recreation, re-ceived many calls about the bird.

    Public Works, Parks and Recre-ation staff, and Panhandle Animal Welfare Society animal control offi -cers tried unsuccessfully to capture him.

    Rescued by the local ‘Duck Dynasty’

    “He’s able to fl y, and he’s a good fl yer,” Steele said. “He’s real strong.”

    The duck tried to take fl ight and was about 3 feet off the ground when

    he and Kenny Martin, Ricky Go-miller and Cody Suggs from his de-partment moved in to capture him, Steele said.

    “I dove and got him by the wing and it was just enough to get him slowed down until Cody behind me got the net over him,” Steele said.

    As Steele wiped mud from the front of his shirt, the result of his dive for the duck, the men laugh-ingly compared themselves to cast members of A&E’s “Duck Dynasty,” a reality TV series about a rural Louisiana family.

    “I think Kenny was like Uncle Si,” Steele said, referring to the show’s Silas Robertson. “He was telling us what to do.”

    Something about a duck

    Injured Twin Hills Park duck receiving treatment following rescue

    BRIAN HUGHES | News Bulletin

    This Muscovy duck, rescued Wednesday morning at Twin Hills Park, lost its leg last week after becoming entangled in fi shing line.

    See DUCK A3

    3031905

  • Crestview News Bulletin | A3Saturday, May 4, 2013

    The duck spent a couple hours Wednesday nestled in a cage at the Public Works maintenance ware-house until wildlife reha-bilitator Tomy Thompson took it to her north Crest-view home.

    “When I first saw (the leg socket) I thought maybe it might need some medical attention, but when I saw it today it looks like a clean break, and it looks like it

    hasn’t got any gangrene,” Thompson said. “It should be OK. He’s a fighter!”

    After Thompson reha-bilitates the fowl, Bell — who said she has rescued horses, dogs and cats, “but never a duck” — will pro-vide a home for the duck, which Thompson named Lucky.

    Because the duck has one leg, it cannot run from snapping turtles, loose

    Steele said he and his crew were glad to finally get the duck the rehabilita-tion it needs.

    “There’s a lot of facets to this job,” he said. “It makes you glad when you’re able to do some good for the community and sometimes for our animal friends.”

    A Day at the DerbyBy BRIAN HUGHES

    682-6524 | @[email protected]

    CRESTVIEW — An afternoon of tea and fashion has gar-nered new volunteers and money for Covenant Hospice.

    The annual A Day at the Derby Fashion Spree and Tea on April 27 attracted more than 50 area women, raised $1,600 and recruited Blue Jean Ball fundraiser committee volunteers and a new hostess for next year’s tea, organiz-ers said.

    Eight women served as tea hostesses, transforming the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall into a tea parlor. Each hostess decorated her table, selected teas and refresh-ments and served her guests.

    Though hostesses also offered donations — some as much as $500 — to Covenant Hospice, fundraising was not the tea’s main purpose.

    “It’s more of a friend-raiser than a fundraiser, because what we’re able to do is exponentially reach out to the host-esses’ friends and use their connections,” Covenant Hos-pice development manager Jenni Perkins said.

    Tea, fashion and hatsThe annual Kentucky Derby-themed event was the

    brainchild of Covenant volunteer Bonnie Grundel.“When you use nice china, whether it be old or new, you

    get the sense that you need to be gentle and slow in your movements and actions,” she said. “Your conversation tends to follow suit.”

    A Churchill Downs backdrop, painted by former Lau-rel Hill School art teacher Sabine Lyons, helped set the theme.

    As the women sipped tea and nibbled sandwiches and baked goods, volunteer models paraded Red Raspberry Boutique’s spring fashions.

    “One of my favorite charities is Covenant Hospice,” bou-tique owner Donna Howard said. “I have personally seen their dedication in providing compassionate care to patients and their loved ones during times of life-limiting illnesses.”

    Hannah Bray, 5, won an award for wearing the best hat.Grundel and her co-hostess, Delilah Lewis, won the best

    table décor award for their cherub vase with greenery, 19th-century china and tea served from an antique teacart.

    “The wonderful thing about this event is it’s a nice, quiet intimate time,” Perkins said. “We ... get to know each other better and have those meaningful conversations you can’t have at bigger, louder events.”

    CRESTVIEW — Downtown Crestview is going to the dogs with two new businesses teaming up to reach Crestview canine lovers.

    All Doggy Diva’s and Rockstars and Pawsitively Scrumptious Bark Bakery and Boutique are promoting each other’s efforts.

    Certifi ed dog groomer Alicia Medina and her husband, Johnny — who own the Woodruff Avenue business — have referred customers to the canine treat provider and boutique on the corner of Woodruff Avenue and Main Street. April Meier, the boutique’s owner, has returned the favor.

    The groomer will offer free dog nail clippings to visitors at the boutique’s grand opening event, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.

    Meier’s business offers

    baked dog treats, veterinary products for cats and dogs, and other items including pet toys, clothing and leashes.

    Meier plans to promote other area dog grooming businesses and veterinary clinics at her store.

    “If businesses that are similar work together, I think the customers are better served,” she said. “There is plenty of business to go around.”

    SANFORD — Gov. Rick Scott plans to eliminate a sales tax that manufacturers pay when purchasing equipment in Florida.

    The proposed tax cut could help create more manufacturing jobs in Florida. The state’s 4.2 percent manufacturing

    employment fi gure ranks at 43rd in the nation.

    No other state in the southeastern United States ranks lower than Florida in manufacturing employment as a percentage of total employment or in percentage of gross state product that comes from manufacturing, the governor’s offi ce stated.

    FAITH

    FROM STAFF REPORTS

    CRESTVIEW — The Florida Legislature has passed a bill that

    implements $80 million in teacher pay raises.

    The $2,500-per-teacher raise reportedly takes effect in June 2014.

    One evening while at a dinner with friends, our hosts told us about how they acquired their golden lab, Bud.

    Bud showed up at their house one day, carrying a bone in his mouth and about 20 ticks on his body. The family felt sorry for this poor dog.

    After several days, they realized the dog wasn’t leaving, so they took him to a vet to learn about his health and get him cleaned up.

    Bud behaved well, but it was obvious he had not been treated well in the past.

    He seemed shy about sleeping in the garage. When his family said goodnight, he looked at them as if to say, “Are you sure? You don’t want me outside, rather than in here?”

    When Bud received a pillow on

    which to sleep, he looked at his family as if to say, “Are you sure? This is for me?” The family said, “It’s for you! It’s okay! Go ahead and sleep on it.”

    They placed a stuffed toy before him and Bud just looked at it. He seemed to not know what to do with it. Once again, he looked at his family as if to say, “Are you sure? This is for me? To keep? To play with?” The family said, “It’s for you! It’s okay! Go ahead and play with it. It’s all yours!”

    Now, he carries that toy everywhere.

    Bud transformed. He received new life. Before he met this family, he had very little to call his own. He received a warm place to sleep, a bed, a toy, food and water.

    More importantly, he received the love and care of those who welcomed him into their home. He did nothing to earn it.

    We have been given the same kind of opportunity as Bud.

    We have received the gift of new life in Jesus Christ. We might think we don’t deserve it because of the way we have been treated in life.

    But Jesus continuously reiterates we are worthy of his love.

    We are worthy of new life. We are worthy of the kindness

    and generosity that come only from him.

    Jesus says, “It’s for you.” And indeed it is.The Rev. Mark Broadhead is

    Laurel Hill Presbyterian Church and First Presbyterian Church of Crestview’s pastor.

    CRESTVIEW — The Big Red Machine’s con-cert and symphonic bands each scored high during last week’s State Music Performance Assessment.

    The concert band achieved an overall su-perior during the assessment, which occurred April 26-27 simultaneously at Northwest Flor-ida State College and two other locations.

    “This is an incredible accomplishment,” band director Jody Dunn said. “There will be very few concert bands in the state to achieve this.”

    The symphonic band scored all superior and “straight A” ratings, which Dunn called “an extremely rare and special achieve-ment,” and earned the Otto J. Kraushaar Award, the Florida Bandmasters Associa-tion’s highest honor, he said.

    Crestview High School band members earned the opportunity to perform at state level after scoring the highest rating ear-lier this spring at district competition in Pensacola.

    The Big Red Machine is rehearsing for its annual spring concert at 7 p.m. May 16 in the high school’s Pearl Tyner Auditorium.

    CRESTVIEW — Sarah Downs, Antioch Elementary School’s lit-eracy coach, has been named the Okaloosa County school district’s elementary school Litera-cy Coach of the Year.

    Superintendent Mary Beth Jackson presented the award during an April 26 literacy coach meeting.

    Downs trains Antioch teachers on new tech-niques for teaching the district’s evolving cur-riculum. She has prepared teachers for Common Core State Standards, a new form of com-puter-based testing, which the state is implementing. Common Core replaces the Florida Com-prehensive Assessment Test for the 2014-15 school year.

    “She is a respected and col-laborative member of the lit-eracy coach cadre and works diligently to help the teachers

    at Antioch Elementary School to understand the instructional shifts needed to implement the Common Core State Standards and to use data to drive instruc-tion,” Ann Flanagan, a reading specialist for the school district, said in an email.

    Downs has worked in Okaloosa County since 2006, spending the last three years at Antioch.

    “I can’t imagine be-ing anywhere else,” she said. “They have made me feel like family.”

    Karen Ott, of Lewis School in Valparaiso,

    earned the secondary Literacy Coach the Year award.

    Fellow literacy coaches work-ing in the school district vote for the Literacy Coach of the Year.

    Editor’s Note: This is the fi fth in our north Okaloosa County Teacher of the Year series.

    CRESTVIEW — Betsy Cun-ningham, a second-grade teacher at Riverside El-ementary School, aims to make learning memorable.

    “I get the students to

    participate with me rather than just teaching to the class,” said the Mil-ton resident, who teaches science and math.

    That means hands-on activities from measuring items to planting vegetation.

    Coordinating with third-grade teachers and learning

    about their lesson plans helps Cun-ningham target sec-ond-graders’ early learning.

    Riverside teach-ers named her the school’s 2013 Teach-er of the Year.

    Students praised their teacher’s

    efforts.“She always helps us with

    our math and our reading,”

    Charity Orloske, 8, said.“What I enjoy a lot about

    her is when she reads books to us, because she reads books that are fun,” Mar-shall Greer, 8, said. His favor-ite book is Kate DiCamillo’s “The Tale of Despereaux.”

    Cunningham frequently has education in mind, even during the 30-minute com-mute to work.

    “I listen to a lot of books on tape,” she said.

    CRESTVIEW — More than 30 residents, religious and community leaders paused for a 15-minute observance of the National Day of Prayer at noon Thursday in front of City Hall.

    “If there was ever a time in our country that public officials need prayer, it’s now,” Mayor David Cadle said during opening remarks.

    Congress established the National Day of Prayer during the Abraham Lincoln administration; a presidential proclamation observes it annually, Cadle said.

    “Prayer brings communities together,” Cadle said, quoting

    President Barack Obama’s 2013 proclamation.

    “There’s never been a time in our country when Christians have been more under attack,” Cadle said.

    However, when Christianity comes

    under attack, it binds the community closer together, he said.

    The Rev. Dale Walters of Joy Fellowship church offered a hopeful message, saying, “I believe my God is bigger

    than any decline in America. My God is a God of hope.”

    After Walters’ remarks, the Rev. Patrick Pfrimmer of Woodlawn Baptist Church closed the observance with a prayer.

    Payne, who was born on the Fourth of July, 1943, was interred Thursday at Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola.

    “He was probably drill sergeant for some of the guys he’s with now,” Roberts said.

    LAUREL HILL — The City Council on Thursday unanimously selected Preble-Rish Inc. to serve as the grant writer and engineering firm to handle public improvement grants.

    The firm, which has an office in Fort Walton Beach, will help the city

    secure grants to upgrade the water system and Gene Clary Park, City Clerk Nita Miller said.

    The Community Development Block Grant, if secured, would fund road repair work for city streets.

    In addition, city leaders approved a resolution that would amend the city’s water service payment plan. The mayor can set a base price and payment

    schedule to help some residents afford connection and impact fees, under the resolution.

    Also, the council unanimously voted to award a $1,000 scholarship to Laurel Hill School senior John Cunningham.

    Among the deciding factors were Cunningham’s grade point average, school involvement and financial need, city leaders said.

    She has visited several medical specialists, including physical therapists and chiropractors. The recovery process has been slow, but there have been strides. In March, she regained use of her right arm.

    “I was reaching for something in my sleep, and it jarred me,” Pate said. “O-M-G was all I

    “I am confident that something will happen soon,” she said.

    For now, she hopes to walk for a daughter’s upcoming birthday party and an upcoming wedding anniversary.

    “We are just praying; that is our goal,” Bryant said. “I don’t know how deep (everyone’s) faith is, but that is how deep our faith is.”

    With Tahnee at the wheel, “I won’t say that they broke any laws but they got me to the hospital in about three minutes flat,” Fouquet said.

    Jessica Fouquet said that emergency room doctors believe Elizabeth had a virus that led to the seizure. The toddler has now recovered.

    “She’s doing great now,” Jessica said. “She’s back to running around and being her own crazy self.”

    “Out of all those people

    who drove by, thank God there were three people who weren’t in a hurry for something more important,” Jeremy Fouquet said. “They were on their way to do college girl stuff. They didn’t have to stop and help.”

    “Angels never know when they’re doing God’s work,” Ward Fouquet said.
