WISE — One swing of the batultimately made the differencein Wednesday’s nonconferencebaseball game between WiseCounty rivals Eastside andCentral.

Eastside freshman ColeHarness delivered a single upthe middle and to score AdamKetron from second base in thetop of the seventh inning andgive the Spartans a 1-0 win overCentral at Mack Shupe Field.

“It was above my hands, butI just went for it and it workedout,” Harness said of the game-winning hit.

The hit was only the fifth oneof the game surrendered byCentral pitcher Jake Jessee,who suffered the hard-luck loss.

Eastside (10-3) counteredwith senior hurler Matt Green,who held Central’s bats in checkfor the game. The Warriorsmanaged only three hits againstGreen, who finished with 10strikeouts and only one walk, anintentional pass to NateThompson in the fifth inning.

The fifth frame was the bestscoring opportunity for theWarriors (7-4).

Caleb Mills reached on anerror with one out and moved tosecond on a single from J.P.Stallard. The two base runnersmoved to second and thirdwhen Jarrett Jessee laid down abunt. Green then intentionallywalked Thompson to load thebases with two outs. Greenworked out of the inning with aground ball hit back to him forthe third out.

Central never really threat-ened any other time in thegame.

“Excellent job by Green,”Warriors coach Brian Mills saidin summing up his team’s loss.

“I though he controlled us thewhole game.”

Central’s Jake Jessee keptEastside in check for most of thegame, striking out six and walk-ing only one.

The Spartans never reallythreatened until the top of thefinal inning when AustinSmallwood led off the frame by


BIG STONE GAP —Tuesday’s game was a bigone for the Union Bearsand junior Will Hubbardcame up with a big game.

The right-hander scat-tered six hits and gave uponly one run, whilerecording four strikeoutsand one intentional walkto help guide the Bears toa key 2-1 Clinch MountainConference baseball winover the John BattleTrojans at Buster TaylorField.

Hubbard also came upbig at the plate for theBears (10-3, 4-2). He fin-ished 2-for-3 at the platewith two doubles and pro-vided the game-winningRBI.

“This was a complete-team effort. We got the jobdone when it mattered themost,” said Hubbard.

While Hubbard wasshining for the Bears,John Battle ace GavinFelty took the hard-luckloss for the Trojans (8-6,2-4). Felty went the dis-tance on the mound, giv-ing up only five hits, whilerecording five strikeouts

and four hit batters.“In every conference

game you’ve got an acethat you’re facing,” saidHubbard. “Every team in

this conference has goodpitching.”

Battle coach KeithDavis could not agreemore with Hubbard.

“This conference isloaded with quality pitch-ing,” Davis said after histeam suffered a one-runloss to Union for the sec-

ond time this season.“We’ve got to find a way toscore more than one ortwo runs.

“I thought Felty went

out and competed andHubbard was strong. Itjust comes down to youhave to score more runsthan one or two.”

The Trojans got on thescoreboard early whenAustin Widner led off thecontest with a single,moved to second on a sac-rifice bunt from HunterBrown, stole third baseand then scored on a RBI-single from Felty.

The Lady Bears scoredseven runs on four hits and fourCentral Lady Warrior errors inthe third inning and addedthree more in the seventh totake a 10-7 Clinch MountainConference softball win at BillDotson Sr. Field.

Union (8-7, 4-3) pounded out9 hits in the contest and playederror-free ball in the field,while Lady Bears freshmanEmilee Mullins picked up thepitching win. Mullins went thedistance scattering nine hits,while striking out seven.

“I thought our freshmanthrew a whale of a game andour bats were going well,” saidUnion coach Mike Rhodes.“She kept us in the ball gamethe whole time and she stayedcomposed.”

Central (6-5, 2-4) struggledto keep its composure in the

third inning. After building 2-0lead by scoring a run in each ofthe first two innings, the LadyWarriors defense started tostruggle in the top of the third.

Union scored sevenunearned runs in the frame tobuild a 7-2 lead. Jenna Wade,Sydnie Blake, Hailea Gilliamand Olivia Gibson all had hitsin the inning. The Lady Bearsalso took advantage of Central’sdefensive woes.

The four errors in the thirdwere the first of seven in thegame for Central.

“You can’t make that manyerrors and expect to win, Idon’t care who you play. That’snot us,” said Central coachJustin Sturgill. “When you playin this conference you havebring your best every day towin. And this wasn’t our best. Itwasn’t close.”

The Lady Warriors battledback in the third inning whenRachel Porchie walked andKaitlyn Stratton singled to putrunners on first and third. AfterPorchie scored, Kerri Mullins

doubled to put runners on sec-ond and third. One out laterEmilee Vance delivered a dou-ble down the left field line toscore two more runs and cutthe Union lead to 7-5.

Central tied the game at 7-7in the bottom of the sixth inningwith a two-out rally.

Carrie Cantrell walked andlater moved to third on a singlefrom Logan Reynolds. Porchie

Blake reached on an error tostart the inning. Gilliam andMullins followed with back-to-back singles. Gilliam’s singlescored Blake from second togive Union the go-ahead run.

The Lady Bears tacked ontwo more runs when MicahElkins delivered an infield sin-gle that allowed Gilliam toscore from third. HannahBarnett, running for Mullins,then scored on an error for thefinal run of the contest.

NORTON — Tuesday’sCumberland Conference base-ball doubleheader between theJ.I. Burton Raiders and the RyeCove Eagles ended in a splitdecision with the Eagles win-ning the first game 1-0 and theRaiders defeating Rye Cove 6-5in the second game at Lawson -Fitchko Stadium.

The first game was a pitch-ers’ duel with Rye Cove’s EricHill holding the Raiders (10-5,5-2) to four hits and striking outseven, while surrendering twowalks.

Burton’s Matthew Branhamthrew a one-hitter, whilerecording seven strikeouts and

one walk. A timely hit by Eagles

Bradley Hensley led to the onlyrun of the game. Hensley’s hitscored Jacob Dishner in thethird inning and the run held upfor the Rye Cove upset.

Both teams saw their batscome to life in the second game.

Burton’s Branham startedthe second game and held RyeCove (5-8, 4-5) off for fourinnings.

“I relied on my mechanicsand hit the spots I needed to hitand trusted my defense. It real-ly got me through those nineinnings,” he said.

The Raiders jumped aheadwith a run in the first inningand three more in the fourthinning before Rye Cove

responded strong in the top ofthe fifth.

The Eagles exploded scoringfive runs with Brian Pearcy,Jacob Dishner, Jeremy Isbel,Payton Qualls, and BradleyHensley all making theirrounds on the bases to take a 5-4 advantage.

In the bottom of the fifth,Austin Johnson delivered a one-out single, then moved to sec-ond base on a wild pitch.Branham then tripled to left toscore Johnson and tie the gameat 5-5. Branham attempted toscore on an off-the-mark throw,but was tagged out at the platefor the second out in the finalinning.

Burton’s Isaac Perriganreached first on an error and

Matthew Jones followed with asingle. Senior Blakelee Cavinsthen beat out an infield singlethat allowed Perrigan to scoreand give the Raiders the win.

“Honestly it wasn’t even me.I don’t really know, I was justhappy I pulled through andhelped the team. I was justthinking just do what you can toput one into play and see whathappens,” said Cavins.

Raiders coach Jim Adamswas happy with his team’s abil-ity to come back after a loss inthe first game.

“I thought that in the firstgame we had a couple of oppor-tunities and we let them getaway early,” said Adams. “I gota couple of guys thrown out onthe bases and that’s kind of who

we are and that’s what we’vedone all year long. We let onethat probably we shouldn’t letget away from us. But with thatsaid, with the defensive mis-cues that we made in the laterstages of the second game weprobably won one that we didn’tdeserve to win. As well as theyplayed to get back in that ballgame down four runs, to let itget away from them I’m sure isas devastating as the first lossdevastated our dugout.

“Matthew (Branham)pitched nine great innings, min-imized his pitches he was stillunder 110 pitches. And then putthe bat in Blake’s hand there atthe end and he came throughand got the run in and the rest ishistory.” u

COEBURN — Eastside unloaded16 runs on Thomas Walker over fourand half innings and 14 runs in thebottom of the first inning of a dou-bleheader against the LadyPioneers to sweep its CumberlandConference foe by identical 16-0 16-0 scores at Carl McConnell StadiumMonday.

While the Lady Spartans (10-6, 7-1) scored the runs, Eastside alsocombined for 26 hits in the twogames.

Eastside coach Suzi Atwood wasstill concerned with the Spartanshitting focus on the afternoon.

“I don’t think we were veryfocused on our hitting today,”replied Atwood. “Hopefully, we’llimprove on that.”

The Lady Spartans’ Lacey Austinwas the big run producer forEastside as she pounded in fourRBI’s in the contest on two hits.Kaylee Jones and Kelly Sykes hadthree hits apiece. Jones slammed a

pair of doubles and Sykes added onedouble for the game.

After going through the battingorder twice in order, the LadySpartans’ Emily Moore and GraceMcCowan came up with two hitsapiece in game two of the double-header, with McCowan recordingtwo RBIs. At the plate, ThomasWalker could only muster three hitsin game one and was unable to put ahit on the scoreboard in game two.

“I thought our pitchers did areally good job tonight,” comment-ed Atwood after the game. “They hittheir spots and we did a good jobwith our pitching today.”

Atwood said several teams stillhave a shot at winning the confer-ence’s regular-season title.

“It’s wide open for anybody thatwants to take it and we’re going tofind out who wants it the most.” u

HONAKER — In a battlebetween two Group 1A baseballpowers, it was the home teamthat came out on top.

The Eastside Spartansdefeated the Honaker Tigers 9-0in the first game of the season,but in the return engagementHonaker outscored the Spartans9-7 at Harding Field on Mondayas the two clubs split the regularseason series.

“I think this will really helpmy kids to win this game,” saidcoach Tom Harding in his 45thyear of directing the Tigers.“They had beat us rather handi-ly over at their place.

“I can’t say enough about myteam, they were finally serious

about a game. My kids reallycame to the front tonight.”

Derek Gilbert hadn’t throwna lot for Honaker (11-4). Thejunior right-hander wasn’t over-powering but was solid keepingEastside (9-3) under controlmost of the game as he pitchedinto the seventh inning.

“I felt I had good commandof my pitches and good veloci-ty,” Gilbert said. “But mydefense made some great playsand really helped me out.

“Eastside has a really goodteam, I’m proud of the win. Wehave some young players thatare getting better every day andthis team is improving as theseason goes on.”

Gilbert had thrown a total ofseven innings through theTigers first 14 games. He threw

over 100 pitches, walked fourwith five strikeouts in six andtwo-third innings. Only four ofthe seven runs were earned.Each team committed fourerrors and had several othermiscues that didn’t go down aserrors in the scorebook.

“There was some horriblebaseball,” Eastside coach ChrisClay said. “That being said, wedid a lot of good things andHonaker did a lot of good things.How we respond to losing atough one will say more aboutus than losing tonight.”

Matt Green pitched the firstthree innings for the Spartansand Logan Austin tossed thenext two. The contest was tied atfour, after five innings. ButHonaker came up with five runsin the bottom of the sixth to take

a large lead. Casey Dye hadwhat proved to be the game win-ning RBI with a double in thesixth. Gilbert, Hunter Lesterand Josh Miller added run scor-ing singles in the inning.

Eastside didn’t go down with-out a fight in the seventh. WesYeary reached on an error andKody Bledsoe singled to startthe inning. Adam Ketron sin-gled in a run. Cole Harness sin-gled in a run and another runscored when the ball got by theHonaker center fielder to pullthe Spartans within two.

“I was incredibly proud of abunch of guys in the seventh,”stated Clay. “All a coach can askwhen you’re down more thanone run in the final inning is tobring the tying run to the plateand we did that. We battled

there and had some great at-bats. Some guys put the teamfirst to reach base and that wasa positive.”

With two outs and a runneron third, the Tigers went to thebullpen and Dye. It took Dyeonly five pitches to induce a flyout by Green to end the game, asDye picked up a save.

“I hated to take Gilbert outwhen I did,” Harding said. “Buthe was out of gas, I had to gethim. Dye came in and did a goodjob.

“We did what we needed todo to win and that is what’simportant.”

Adam Ketron had two hits tolead Eastside. Gilbert led theHonaker offense with three hits.Miller and Brandon Looney hadtwo hits each for the Tigers. u

Wednesday’sgame with Haysi.

LLOYD COMBSSPORTS WRITER

HAYSI — It may have been the lastHaysi versus Clintwood anything, butthe way it played out it was almost anti-climactic.

Hunter Sutherland tossed a four-hit-ter in his first start on the mound thisseason and Clintwood’s fifth error of thegame brought home the final two runs ofa 12-2 Haysi victory Wednesday eveningat Flannagan Dam.

The game was interrupted a half anhour by lightning and it ended in the bot-tom of the sixth inning under the 10-runmercy rule.

After playing just seven games in thefirst five-plus weeks of the season it wasHaysi’s third win in two days in themidst of a five-game week.

“We’ve got five games this week andfour next,” said veteran Haysi coachDewayne Stanley, who admitted he’sbeen too focused on trying to remake histeam’s schedule to realize it was the endof the line for the longtime rivals whowill join forces at the new RidgeviewHigh School in August.

“I hadn’t really thought about itbefore now to be honest with you,” hesaid. “All we’ve been trying to do is playthem out, whoever we have that day, andnot worry about anything past that.

“It’s been a good rivalry, but baseballhas never had the intensity that footballhad. We’ve always gotten along good andI’ve always been good friends with theircoaches and it’s not been as intense.”

Haysi (6-4) scored in every inning,including three runs in the first andthree more in the sixth. Jalen Sykes sin-gled in one run in the first and two morein the second inning. The senior reachedbase three times and scored three runs.

Nick Mullins added two hits and NickGentry stroked a two-run single to rightin the fifth.

“We’re coming around,” Stanley

added. “We’re finally getting to playsome games, get some swings in, that’sit. You’re in a game, live situations, offsomebody other than your coaches andit makes a difference.”

Dakota Dahley had two ofClintwood’s four hits, including a RBItriple in the fourth, when the Greenwave(3-10) scored both its runs.

The senior righthander deserved abetter fate on the mound. Dahley struckout 10 in five innings of work. Six ofHaysi’s 12 runs were unearned.

“Dahley’s a beast,” Clintwood coachSteve Mullins said. “He did all he coulddo. We didn’t hit the ball extremely well.

“But, we’re a young team and I thinkwe’re getting better every game. Webrought two JV kids up. I couldn’t bemore proud of how these (other) ninekids we’ve got have stuck together.We’ve got six more regular seasongames and who knows what happens.”

Sutherland fanned five and onlywalked two, despite the 30-minute delay,which came in the top of the third.

Stanley was pleased with his junior’sperformance and even more pleasedthat he was simply able to get back onthe mound after an ankle injury heldhim back since the end of the basketballseason.

“It was good to have him back outthere throwing,” Stanley said. “He’donly thrown an inning the whole year, soit’s something we’ve been missing.

“He got a little tired, but that’s justconditioning, he’s not thrown any. Hegave us five really good innings and thenthat last inning he got a little tired.”

Mullins said he hated to see the rival-ry end, but said he and his younger play-ers are looking forward to the future,too.

“It’s a sad thing, but next year isgonna be exciting, merging with themand coming together in all sports,” hesaid. “Hopefully, we’ll all get along welland make some noise next year.” u

Bean soup has been served inthe United States Senate diningroom for more than 100 years.This tradition began with a 1907resolution that stated while theSenate is in session no day shallpass without bean soup on themenu. There has been one onlyexception to this decree.

On Sept. 14, 1943, bean soupwas unavailable because of WorldWar II rationing. But according toformer Senator Bob Dole, “Somehow, bythe next day, more beans were found and bowls havebeen ladled up without interruption ever since.”

The basic ingredients in Senate Bean Soup are navyor great northern beans, ham bone or ham hocks, andonions. Some recipes include a cup of mashed potatoes.This soup is generally nutritious with one cup havingonly 237 calories, 3 g of fat (1 g saturated fat), 12 mgcholesterol, 83 mg sodium, 37 g carbohydrates, 10 gfiber, and 14 g protein.

In our kitchen on Mill Creek, we recently madeSenate Bean Soup from a Taste of Home recipe.

SENATE BEAN SOUPPrep time: 30 minutes + standing time; Cooking

time: 3 hours + cooling. Yield: 8-10 serv-ings.

1 pound dried great northern beans1 meaty ham bone or 2 smoked ham

hocks3 medium onions, chopped3 garlic cloves, minced3 celery ribs, chopped

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley1 cup mashed potatoes or 1/3 cup instant

Rinse and sort beans. Place beans in a Dutch ovenor soup kettle; add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring toa boil; boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and letstand 1 to 4 hours or until beans are softened. Drainand rinse, discarding liquid. In a large Dutch oven orsoup kettle, place beans, ham bone or hocks and 3quarts water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover andsimmer 2 hours.

Skim fat if necessary. Add onions, garlic, celery,parsley, potatoes, salt and pepper; simmer one hourlonger. Set aside ham bones until cool enough to handle.Remove meat from bones; discard bones. Cut meat into

R.J. ROSEFIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, COEBURN

“So, you had an accident?” thesurgeon posed the question mere-ly to begin a dialogue. He knewthe answer. The left side of myface was black and blue and myeye was swollen shut. The emer-gency room doctor told me Ineeded to make an appointmentwith a plastic surgeon to havefacial reconstruction surgery torepair the damage. “Tell me whathappened,” he continued.

For several minutes I explainedthe gory details. Then to lightenthe mood I explained, “And youwon’t believe it, but before theaccident I was muscular, hand-some and had a full head of hair,but now I’m bald, fat, and ugly!”I chuckled and asked “Can youfix that?”Catching my humor he replied,

“I can do whatever you want, butit’ll cost you,” He paused andlooked me over. “And it will costyou a lot!” he snickered, withemphasis on the “you.”

I sighed. I didn’t have thatmuch money.

Kids teased me as a child that Ihad a face only a mother couldlove. I used to take it as a compli-ment. “Thanks,” I’d say. Thenone day I was struck by the harshrealization that it wasn’t a com-pliment at all. At least mom lovedmy face.This Mother’s Day we’re

reminded of a mother’s love. As

far as a mother is concerned, herchildren are the most beautiful,most intelligent, most wonderfulchildren on the planet. And any-one that would disagree with herwould suffer a mother’s wrath. Amother’s love is the closest toGod’s love that any human canexpress. Much like God, a moth-er can see beyond the outwardappearance and see her child’sheart.When God sent Samuel to

anoint a new king of Israel toreplace King Saul, he sent him tothe house of Jesse. He lookedover Jesse’s sons, all fine speci-mens of men in physical appear-ance, but none were chosen to beking. Puzzled that God hadn’tchosen these men, Samuel askedJesse if he had any other children.Jesse had one other son, David,who was out in the fields with thesheep. For whatever reason, Jessedidn’t bother to call David to thegathering at first. Maybe Jessedidn’t think David to be “king”material. But God saw somethingnobody else saw. 1 Samuel 16:7records “But the LORD said untoSamuel, Look not on his counte-nance, or on the height of hisstature; because I have refusedhim: for the LORD seeth not asman seeth; for man looketh on theoutward appearance, but theLORD looketh on the heart.”Happy Mother’s Day! Thanks

Mom for a love that looks beyondappearance and sees the heart. u

Cancer fundraiser enjoys ‘amazing’ supportGLENN GANNAWAYPOST NEWS EDITOR

Everybody, as Makayla Boyd says, isaffected by cancer in one way or another.

That’s one reason a project she beganfive years ago as a way of coping withcancer in her family has struck a chordin the community.

Although Boyd doesn’t want personalrecognition — she stresses that the eventdepends on volunteers and communitygenerosity — she started a fundraiserthat is touching an increasing number ofpeople. The Country Cabin II on oldHighway 23 between Appalachia andNorton sponsored and hosted the fifthannual “Hootenanny for Hooters” lastFriday. The musical event, which includ-ed performances by Benny Jones andCMT Country and Bluegrass Circle,capped a daylong fundraising effort thatincluded the sale of lunches. And onMonday, Boyd was able to deliver a$1,360 check to the Southwest VirginiaCancer Center Patient Fund.

The patient fund helps people intreatment with routine expenses such asgas for transportation and food.

“It’s bad enough to have cancer any-way; they shouldn’t have to worry aboutwhere that $50 in groceries is going tocome from because they had to spendthat money on gas to get treatment,”Boyd said. “That’s what fuels me to keepdoing this — making it a little easier onsomebody.”

“I personally don’t want to be recog-nized for it; I just want somebody to behelped,” Boyd said.

And that feeling is mutual amongBoyd’s fellow Country Cabin boardmembers, the bands, and the businesses

that attend — all donate their time and,Boyd said, “that’s what matters to me.They all want to help.”

Boyd estimated Friday night’s paidattendance was 150, with all of the pro-ceeds going to the cancer center dona-tion. With the bands, the Country Cabinline dancers, volunteers and businesses,about 200 people enjoyed a festive night.

And there was a solemn momentwhen Boyd asked any cancer survivorsin the audience to stand up and be rec-ognized. “I’ve been going to the Cabin for

six years now, and there were people Ididn’t even know had survived cancer.Everybody is affected by cancer in oneway or the other. Whether it’s friends, afamily member or self,” Boyd said.

Boyd, a 2002 Powell Valley HighSchool graduate who now lives in Nortonwith husband Reece, an AppalachiaHigh graduate, lost her mother-in-law tobreast cancer five years ago. She hadalready lost both paternal grandparentsto the disease. Breast cancer was theinspiration for the “Hootenanny for

Hooters” name, which was coined byBoyd’s friend Jeff.

Husband Reece came up with theidea of pre-selling lunches during theday. Reece, Boyd said, “is a wonderfulcook” and didn’t leave the kitchen Fridayfrom 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 that night.

After losing her mother-in-law tobreast cancer, “I tried to use my copingto try to help others, because I saw howbad she suffered,” Boyd said. “And shehad treatments at the cancer center inNorton, and I knew a little bit about it.”

Boyd at first considered organizing afundraiser through established namessuch as Susan G. Komen or the AvonWalk for Cancer, but found that shewould be required to pay fees. So Boydcontacted Southwest Virginia CancerCenter Manager Sandy Franklin, whosuggested she donate money to thepatient fund to help pay for everydayexpenses.

“When I first started doing it, I didn’tknow what was going to happen,” Boydsaid of her fundraiser. “I just wanted tosee what was going to happen. I reallywas surprised at how many people came.It really did kind of overwhelm me,because I thought, I’m just me — I can’tget people together and do this.”

“Every year I get nervous, but italways ends up going wonderfully,” sheadded. “I think that’s what keeps yougrounded — a little nerves — then it goesgreat. It’s an overwhelming feelingknowing that people are so dedicated.They give their time and their money.”

“That’s what amazes me,” she said.“Our area is so economically depressedright now, but people still come out andhelp other people. That’s something youcan’t buy and you can’t duplicate.” u

Garden Club commemorates Arbor Day

In 1872, J. Sterling Morton declared the FirstArbor Day - a tree planting holiday. More than onemillion trees were planted that day. He dedicated hislife work to this cause.

Today Arbor Day is celebrated in other countriesas well: Israel, South Korea, India, Japan, Mexicoand Kenya.

Members of the Town and Country Garden Clubin Wise presented a program commemorating ArborDay at the Wise Primary School.

Those who participated are Teresa Adkins,Beverly Viers, Patsy Stephens, Merry Lu Prior,Frances Sturdavant, Gigi Pippin, Nancy Culbertson,Brenda Edwards, Wayne Edwards, Sandy Yun andleader Martha Blackburn.

Six Kindergarden classrooms were engaged in thecelebration of trees. Members of the Garden Clubread Margret and H.A. Rey’s book, Curious GeorgePlants A Tree, and several illustrations were enlistedto accompany their presentations.

A maple sapling was introduced to the students toshow the various parts of a young tree and an accom-panying Maple seed was viewed to instill the idea ofthe key components needed for growing a tree.

The tree saplings were planted in a small contain-er of soil and watered. Students were instructed towatch the sapling grow in their classroom and then

later plant it in an attractive good spot within theearth.

A good fruitful time of discussion and interactivedialogue ensued. An informative question-and-answer session followed. All members of the classeswere given a fruit from a tree to enjoy eating. Appleslices were used to illustrate the internal seeds andeach student was able to partake in the delectablegifts from an apple tree.

The Town and Country Club enjoyed a fulfillingtime of mutual learning and sharing.

Treasure discovered, unveiled, revealed with theplanting of a tree.

You plant a sprig of:Hope for the future that brings forthJoy for the children to enfoldPeace for meditation and reflection.Pleasure during one’s youth, providing strength to

embrace the good use ofTime for establishing an enduringLove for this earth that knits a bond to our hearts

and pulls us together with our friends, towns andfamilies to make this earth a friendly inviting envi-ronment for all its inhabitants. u
