A Congressman-elect’s life is
heck. Charles Taylor has not
even been sworn into office and at
least in Polk County, it seems the
Democrats want him beheaded.
We have to live with
Congressman-elect Taylor for the
next two years. Let's at least give
the man a chance to represent us.
A reader brought us a copy of
“The World's Greatest
Newspaper Ever,” recently. It's
The Dick E. Bird News of Acme,
Michigan and for $1 a copy you
get the “best darn birdstories
ever told.”
For instance, did you know the
story behind Marie Antoinette’s
famous statement, “Let them eat
cake!" Why it was birds she was
talking about, says Dick E. Bird.

Brevard Rallies To
Beat Polk In Classic
Brevard rallied in the final two
minutes of the third quarter and
pulled ahead of Polk County for
good in the finals of the inaugural
Blue Devil Christmas Classic
tournament at Brevard Saturday
night.
Polk had edged Landrum out
Friday night with a 58-56 victory.
Against Brevard, Polk was
ahead 47-35 with two minutes
remaining in the third period,
when Brevard took advantage of
the Wolverines’ shooting woes.
Polk missed every shot in the
final two minutes and Brevard hit
everything imaginable, including
Rick Smith’s half-court shot at
the quarter’s end, taking a 48-47
lead into the final period.
Polk’s problems continued in
the final period as the Wolverines
hit only two of six free throws in
the final eight minutes. Brevard
led 58-51 with 3:44 remaining in
the game. Polk closed the margin
to 65-62 on a 3-point goal by Larry
Fagan with 14 seconds left, but 2
Mark Perrin free throws and a
Norman layup gave the Blue
Devils the final margin.
Scoring for Polk were Canady
17, Miller 8, Gregory 2, Fagan 11,
Suber 7, Taylor 3, Anderson 10
and Wood 4.
Dwight Canady and Kerry
Miller of Polk and Benjie Smith
of Landrum were each named to
the boys’ all-tournament team.
Against Landrum, the scoring
for Polk was keyed by Dwight
Canady who scored 15 of his 19
points in the second half. Suber
