The mission was host- ed by Next Step Ministries, where they provide job sites, housing, food, and worship time. The week-long trip con- The First Baptist Church sisted of jobs such as putting siding on a house and build- ing a foundation for a fam- ily whose house had burnt to the ground 12 years ago. However, the jobs did not stop there. The week the group had gone, a terrible storm of 90 mph winds had gone through taking out most of West Virginia's power, wa- ter, and gas. The FBC group worked closely with the Na- tional Guard in delivering food and water and prepar- ing loads of food to be taken to different counties in West Virginia. Several members of the FBC team had police es- corts in taking food through- out the different counties in West Virginia. The group had a blessed time and prais- es God for what they could do to serve Him! The Press-Dispatch try scene of a wooden fence and trees and a building with a half moon on the door and the caption says "Ken- tucky's Official Rest Stop." On the back "The Out- house" (many structures still stand in rural KY), the card says, "Thankfully, we did not have to use any of these! Had a blast in Cave City, KY." Gary and Ashley Riggs, and John and Mar- la Jones. Thank you John, Marla, Ted and Teresa Nicholson in the passing of Ted's broth- er. Remember all the good times you all had and share your memories with others and more memories will be added to yours.

Sweets Column hopes mission for the Edna Martin Christian Center. This center is in the inner-city and provides daycare for children in first through eighth grades. The youth are pictured with the children to whom they were able to minister. Activities the FBC group did with the Edna Martin Christian Center were tutoring, reading together, swimming, gymnastics, dancing, "hanging out," and sharing God's word through the group's hands and feet. The group also served lunches and provided the children with a snack. On the last day of the mission Some of the First Baptist Church of Petersburg youth went to Indianapolis this summer to serve on a PFBC youth serve on mission trip in Indianapolis week, the youth traveled to the main office to help with the food pantry and any other needs that the cen- ter asked to be done. that every child in all grades starting back to school try their best to learn what is taught by their teachers and don't make it feel like you have to do it, but you want to learn about everything. We have been getting some rain and the flowers and grass are coming alive with blooms and green grass again and we all hope that some of the temps stay in the comfortable stage without the humidity, and we hope that the weather has changed for the good in your area also.

It's time to dim the lights for this week so slow down and watch for stopped school buses, keep an eye on family and friends, and smile, wave and say hi to ev- eryone you see this week. Wildlife Habitat assistance available es Conservation Service (NRCS) field officer Erica Burkemper reminds land owners, producers and op- erators they need to call the office "as soon as possible" to file for assistance from the Wildlife Habitat Incen- tives Program (WHIP) re- garding the 2012 drought. The drought of 2012 has USDA Natural Resourc- By James Capozella 6120, ext. 3. The funding will be for a caused serious degradation to many natural resource con- cerns in the state and Pike County including wildlife cov- er, livestock forage, wildlife and livestock water and soil quality according NRCS state conservationist Jane Hardisty. The agency will have a spe- cial sign-up to assist drought- stricken producers through the WHIP with a deadline for application of August 20. The local contact number is 354- specific set of practices that can address wildlife habitat and drought resource con- cerns. Examples of practic- es include deferred grazing through access control, conservation crop rotation, cover crops, forage and bio- mass planting and water- ing facilities. Several sup- porting practices are also allowed and include ponds, pumps, pipeline, wells and other similar practices. The purpose of the WHIP sign-up is to protect wildlife habitat by providing wild- life access to cover and wa- ter during fall and winter, and allow pastures to recov- er from the drought accord- ing to Hardisty. Hardisty said she was also concerned because drought- stressed crops did not use the applied nitrogen fertil- izer, which may now be lost due to rain. WHIP funds can help provide cover crops to tie up these nutrients, mak- ing them available for the next crop. "This saves farm- ers money and protects wa- ter quality, along with wild- life benefits," according to Hardisty. Pike County landowners and producers can make ap- plication and find out more about the program require- ments by visiting the local USDA-NRCS field officer or go to www.in.nrcs.usda.gov. drought.html. newsworthy?
