Honoring A Decorated Vietnam Veteran…Meet Al Owen
Dawn S. West
As we prepare to celebrate Veterans
Day, it is my pleasure to honor local
Veterans. Our community is filled
with them. This Saturday morning a
special ceremony will be held to honor
all of our local Veterans at the Veterans
Appreciation Ceremony at the Hilliard
Airpark at 8:30 a.m. Make sure to come
and enjoy some coffee and donuts prior
to the ceremony at 9 a.m. The service
is to honor you, so make sure to make
plans to attend!
Alva Al Owen of Hilliard is one of the
most decorated Veterans I have talked
with. I shared with him that he should
write a book about the experiences he
has witnessed in his life. He is one of
the friendliest people in Hilliard and
welcomed me into his home like I was
one of his own! As we sat and talked,
his wife Sarah sat listening and also
remembering many of the times he
reflected on.
Al grew up around airplanes
and learned about them
his entire life so it’s not
surprising that his career
choice involved flying. He
was a sophomore in college
when he received his notice
of the draft. He was advised
to join the US Army for
their flight schools. Al
joined in June 1967 at the
age of 20. He quickly went
through Basic Primary Flight School
and headed home to marry Sarah in
November 1967. He returned to school
and graduated from Advanced Flight
Training in April, had a 30 day leave
and then headed for Vietnam where he
served a one-year tour. The duty of his
crew was to replace a crew that was
killed in a mid-air collision. His crew
wasn’t told of this at first but eventually
found out. His first night in Vietnam,
they were mortared. He learned very
quickly what to do when
that happened. “We were
with a great company. We
all looked out for each
other,” said Al. “The war
was difficult and we really
relied on each other for
strength and security.”
He has an amazing
recollection of many of the
events that happened while
serving in Vietnam. Many
things have been written
Dawn S. West
As Veterans Day approaches, all of
our Veterans will be recognized and
celebrated at a special ceremony in their
honor Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at
the Hilliard Airpark. The event will be
held prior to the opening of the Hilliard
Timberfest.
As we celebrate the two, Veterans
and Timberfest, local resident and
Vietnam Veteran Carrol Franklin
brought it to our (Westside Journal)
attention about a local late Veteran, Mr.
Spencer Haddock. Mr. Haddock lived
in the Kings Ferry area and his father
ran one of the saw mills there. The elder
Mr. Haddock was hauling logs before
Rayonier and Container were here.
Spencer Haddock was a WWII Veteran
who served his time in Germany. Mr.
Haddock passed away
in 1996. “Spencer was
a
respectable
hard
working man. He taught
his children how to log
and they learned early,”
said Carrol Franklin. “I
know when those boys
got home from school
they went to the woods
to help their father.”
Spencer left quite
a legacy behind of
respect, character and loyalty with his
children and grandchildren. Spencer
and his wife had four children, Evalina,
Wayne, Sidney and Rowland. Each of
the children still have logging in their
families as you see:
Their daughter, Evalina, married
Harold Pickett. Two of
their sons, Harry and
Roger, continue to be
in the logging business.
Harry Pickett is the
owner and operator of
Pickett Logging. Harry
was chosen Logger of the
Year for the southeast in
2012. Harry’s son Jarrod
also works alongside
his dad in the business.
Roger Pickett owns and
operates P & S Logging.
The oldest son Wayne owns
Haddock Logging and his son Ed, owns
Ed Haddock Timber.
Sidney Haddock owns and operates
Sidney Haddock Timber. His son
Lynn is also a logger by trade as is his
in a journal form and reads just as if
you are going through it with them. In
February of 1967 he was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross for Heroism
while participating in an aerial flight
evidenced by voluntary actions above
and beyond the call of duty. In November
1968 he received the Award of the Air
Medal for Heroism while engaged in an
aerial flight in connection with military
operations against a hostile force. These
are just a couple of the many awards and
medals he received during his service.
Each one of the awards can be followed
up with the exact scenario of what
happened in that particular incident. He

grandson Brandon.
Rowland Haddock owns and
operates Roland Haddock Logging.
Rowland was chosen ‘Logger of the
Year’ in 1986 for the entire southeast.
He has two sons Rowland ‘Peanut’, Jr.
(deceased 2004) and Rodney Haddock
who owns and operates Haddock
Timber, Inc. Sidney’s grandson Gavin
Wilkes works with Rodney in the
logging industry. Rowland’s grandson
Blake works with his grandfather in his
business.
The legacy of logging lives on, not
only in this family but in many logging
families in our area. The logging
business has come a long way since
Spencer Haddock began with the use
of cross cut saws to today’s high tech

served his country in active duty with
the US Army for 3 years and 4 months.
He then joined the Florida National
Guard as an Instructor. The awards and
accolades didn’t
stop while serving
active duty, he
also received them
as an instructor.
In March 1978
while instructing
a pilot flying a
helicopter doing
static line jumps,
the helicopter suffered a complete
separation of the 90 degree gearbox
and tail rotor. Al was able to handle the
situation and although the helicopter
was destroyed, all of the crew walked
away uninjured in the accident. He
received the Award of the Florida Cross
for his actions that day and saving the
crew from death. Other awards and
medals received are: Distinguished
Flying Cross Medal Ribbon; Bronze
Star Medal Ribbon; Air Medal Ribbon;
Republic of Vietnam (RVN) Campaign
Medal Ribbon; Army Good Conduct
Medal Ribbon; Reserve Good Conduct
Medal; National Defense Service Medal
Ribbon; and The Vietnam Service
Medal Ribbon.
Earlier this year, Al returned to
Vietnam for a 15 day trip with his

son John and a member of his flight
crew. “The trip was wonderful and the
country is beautiful. Nothing like it was
back then,” added Al. “The country has
changed so much.
There were only
a couple of things
that
resembled
old times. I really
would like to go
back again!”
He continued
with the Florida
Air
National
Guard until 1980 when the schedule just
wasn’t working out with his fulltime job
at the FAA. He retired from the FAA
after 30 years of service. Al still owns
a plane, which his father built with the
help of Al and his two brothers Kimmel
and Bryan. The plane is housed at the
Hilliard Airpark. His company has
reunions every two years and Al and
Sarah try to attend when they can. He
has a special place in his home for many
of his memories and photos.
“I loved serving my country and I
loved the organization and discipline of
the military,” continued Al. “I probably
would have stayed in longer but the
schedule didn’t work. I loved what I did
but I was faithful and concerned for my
family. That was my priority.”

Letters to the Editor
Thank you!
Dear Editor,
A huge “Thank You” to folks who
attended the Northeast Florida Fair on
“Feed The Hungry Monday, October 20,
and brought food for the Barnabas Food
Pantry. Barnabas would especially like to
“Thank” all the volunteers who helped with
the collection, sorting and packing of the
donated food. A very special “Thank You”
is due Pastor Gerald Wollitz of the Rivers
Edge Church in Hilliard for coordinating
volunteers from the church congregation to
assist.
It’s amazing what great things can be
accomplished when a few compassionate
people join together to help their neighbors
struggling to make ends meet. Barnabas
Food Pantry received over 3,339 pounds of
food from the Monday night fair attendees
which is over 1,200 pounds more than what
was collected the previous year.
Over the past year, Barnabas experienced
over a 50% increase in food provided to more
than 14,000 people in Nassau County. To
keep pace with the growing need, Barnabas
recently expanded its food pantry to provide
more fresh and frozen food to people who
need it. Last year Barnabas provided 1,666
households with food equating to 143,000
meals to Nassau County residents.
Barnabas Center is a multi-service
organization that serves as a safety net for
Nassau County residents in crisis by providing
assistance with rent or mortgage payments,
utility payments, and comprehensive health
services (i.e., medical and dental care) and
mental health counseling for lower income
adults.
For more information about Barnabas
programs, please visit www.BarnabasNassau.

Thank you,
Barnabas Center

This week's Bible verse is from Mr. Paul Stephens. It is Psalm 92:1, "It is good to
give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High."
Sometimes in the midst of life's craziness it is good to have a reminder that the
Lord needs to hear our thankfulness! Thank you Mr. Paul for your verse!

loggers were lucky to get one load

haul around 400 loads each week. These

They are all top professionals and love

proud of the fine example each of these
people live each and every day.

Just My Opinion
Roger R. West
As I sat here on the day before
the mid-term elections reading and
reflecting on the dire straits our country
is in due to the left wing radicals, I
tended to become very discouraged.
Then I thought about an email that I
received from a good friend and it made
me realize that the best is yet to come!
The email contained a short story about
vanilla. I do not know who the original
author is but I just have to share it with
you. It is titled: Vanilla Ice Cream
Defies Evolution…
Nearly everyone has enjoyed a
yummy bowl of vanilla ice cream.
It is a wonderfully delicious dessert.
However, vanilla ice cream wouldn’t
exist if evolution were true. Let’s start
out with a little history. Until more
recent times, Mexico was the only
producer of vanilla. In the 1520s, a man
by the name of Hernan Cortes traveled
down to Mexico and loved vanilla. So he
brought some back with him to Europe.
For the next 300 years Europeans tried
but were never able to produce vanilla.
See, vanilla grows up a tree as a vine.
Eventually the vine produces an orchid.
In order to make the vanilla bean, the
orchid must be pollinated. The problem
is, it only blooms one morning per year
for pollination. If it isn’t pollinated
within 12 hours, it withers. To make
things more difficult, a hood-like
membrane covers the part of the vanilla
orchid which produces pollen. This
makes the production of the vanilla
bean very difficult.
In 1836, Charles Francois Antoine
Morren traveled down to Mexico to
figure out why they weren’t able to
produce vanilla in Europe. As Morren
was studying the vanilla orchids, his
attention was drawn to a little bee
(the Mexican Melipona Bee). The bee
landed on the orchid, lifted up the little
hood-like membrane, collected pollen,
and flew off to the next flower. This bee
was pollinating the orchids. After some
time, the orchid produced a vanilla
bean. To this day, the Mexican Melipona
Bee is the only insect that knows how to
pollinate the vanilla orchid.
This simple fact puts evolution in an
extremely difficult position. Without
the Mexican Melipona Bee, we simply
would not have vanilla today. The bee
and the vanilla vine had to be made at
the exact same time. Not to mention
this bee had to be given specific
information about how to pollinate the
vanilla orchid. Again, no other insect
knows how to do this. This bee had to
be made, designed, and purposefully
created to pollinate the vanilla orchid,
and thus produce vanilla.
So much of our world points to the
Creator. As silly as it sounds, even
vanilla ice cream proclaims the glory of
God. So, the next time you sit down to
enjoy a full bowl of vanilla ice cream,
remember that you are enjoying a tasty
treat which is only possible through the
power of God!
So you might ask why I feel the best
is yet to come. It is because I already
know how the whole story ends. There
is a Creator, there is a God, and He will
redeem his followers from this wicked
world. So, yes, this life is short and
the best is yet to come for those who
believe.
Now that’s not just my opinion…
that’s God’s promise!

Jesus Lifted His Eyes to Pray
Pastor Tim Carpenter, Friendship Alliance Church, Callahan
We know that body language can communicate our
moods, attitudes, and thoughts to others. Sometimes we are
unaware of what we are saying. Other times, those around
us may not pick up the hints. But I do believe that our own
body language can impact our own thinking, too.
Consider the position we take in prayer. Often we
bow our heads and close our eyes so we can shut out
distractions. There are some times we may need to do
that. But should we always pray that way? I believe that
our body language can impact our prayer life.
When Jesus stood before the tomb of Lazarus in full view of everyone, He needed
the miracle of His life. He did not close His eyes and bow His head. He lifted His
eyes up to the broad expanse of the heavens, and prayed an unimaginable prayer…
the restoration of a man dead for four days! To pray beyond our thinking we need to
gaze into the infinite.
On the night when Jesus was about to cross the Kidron to enter the garden, face
the cross, and impact the future of all His disciples for all the ages, He did not bow
His head and close His eyes to pray. He lifted up His eyes to heaven. He saw The
Father’s glory. He saw what had been done for His disciples and what needed yet to
be done. And He saw us. He prayed for the generations of believers who would be
impacted by His disciples. He saw the unimaginable and prayed for it to be done.
Our body language can impact our prayer life. When we need God to do His will
outside our tiny perspective, we need to look up into the starry night to see God’s
will beyond our thoughts. When we need God to prepare us for His work to be done
for the future generations, we need to look into that blue expanse and columns of
clouds with splashes of rainbow splattered all about.
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ needs to pray beyond our traditional ruts
now because we are facing greater challenges than the Church has ever encountered
before. We are on the edge of the end of the Last Days. The time of tribulation and
persecution of the church is rising like a wave coming upon the beach. The church in
the United States is weak from its riches and spoiled life of favor and privilege. The
younger generations are right in questioning the legitimacy of what we now proclaim
because we fail to live it. In our own town we cannot get the pastors together to
pray as we ought in these times, let alone God’s people in gatherings outside our
closed doors and walls of our buildings. We need to pray beyond our own limited
imaginations. We need to pray for God’s will to be done in ways we never thought
possible.
And we need to begin praying like that right now! Will you answer the Holy
Spirit’s prompting to pray like Jesus for His people to be one and His love to be
clearly evident to a hurting world?
Life is about God and He is about right relationships.

Dawn S. West
The Town of Callahan Town Council
met Monday night for their first meeting
of November. The first order of business
was the second and final public hearing
on the Land Development Regulations.
Ordinance No. 2014-O04 passed with
four amendments revised.
In other business,
Resolution 2014-R26
was approved which
concerned donating
$500 to the American
Cancer Society Relay
for Life.
Cheer Coordinator
Cherree Griffin, representing Callahan
Athletic Association Pop Warner
Cheerleaders, was on-hand requesting
monetary assistance for a cheer
competition which will be for two
cheer teams that include 28 girls and
sponsors. The council gave a figure
of $500 for discussion. “I don’t feel
like this is something we need to do,
not that they are not deserving, but we
have been giving out a lot of money,”
said Councilman Marty Fontes. “I don’t
really see where we will get a return on
our investment. Probably none of these
girls even live in Callahan, maybe 30
percent.”
“I disagree,” said Town Treasurer
Cathy Smith. “These girls are
representing Callahan. We have a sign
with two different cheerleading squads
that ranked in the state for competition.”
Resolution 2014-R27 was also
approved by a vote of 4-1, which
concerned donating
$500 to the Callahan
Athletic Association
Pop
Warner
Cheerleaders for a

Councilman Bass advised the council
that the Board of County Commissioners
are set to vote on the contract with the
town at their November 10 meeting.

announced to the council that this
was her last night serving as the Town
Treasurer. “I have really enjoyed the job
and learned a lot while serving.”
Councilwoman

Mildred Lee Caulkins
Mildred
Lee
Caulkins
passed peacefully on November
1, surrounded by her loving and
devoted family.
Mrs. Mildred Caulkins, of
Callahan, celebrated her 100th birthday July
16. She was born in Buffalo, Texas on July
16, 1914 to Commodore and Mattie Lee. She
was the youngest of six children. Her father
was in law enforcement, known as the Town
Marshall and her mother was a homemaker,
who died when Mildred was very young.
She remembers her father bringing home
the prisoners he had at the jail and chained
them to the tree in the front yard for lunch. If
the weather was bad, he chained them to the
porch. Times have somewhat changed!
Mildred held many jobs over the years,
which included working at an ammunition
plant during World War II; working at a
truck line transportation company; and at a
neighborhood grocery store. However, her
favorite profession was a homemaker, mother
and grandmother.
She married Vance F. Caulkins, who
worked for the railroad. Mildred raised
six children. She also raised two of her
grandchildren. Mildred attributed her
long life to her independent nature and an
occasional beer with good barbecue! She
enjoyed sitting on her carport and watching
all the activities going on in Ewing Park and
watching FOX news. Mrs. Caulkins lived
in her Callahan home with her dog Max!
Mildred is pre-deceased by her husband
Vance Forest Caulkins; and a granddaughter
Evelyn Manning.
The Town of Callahan honored Mrs.
Caulkins at a town meeting proclaiming July
16th Mildred Caulkins Day in Callahan. She
was honored by the town council and Mayor
of Callahan with a dozen yellow roses and an
engraved clock.
Mildred is survived by her six children
Jack (Sheila) Caulkins of Jacksonville, Bobby
(Vickie) Cotie of St. Paul, Minnesota, Vance
(Martha) Caulkins of Cullowhee, North
Carolina, Billy (Lois) Caulkins of Hilliard,
Ellen (Euell) Ogden of Odom, Georgia, and
Janet (Bobby) Gill of Fernandina Beach;
many grandchildren; great-grandchildren;
and great-great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers were her grandsons and a
great-grandson: Vance Lee Caulkins, Jr.,
Lane Maverick Caulkins, James Everett
Howard, Jr., William Forest Caulkins, Jr.,
Derek Austin Sharp, Brett Lawrence Sharp,
Weston William Gill and Richard VanceForrest Beeny.

Arthur Ira McMillan
Arthur Ira McMillan, 54, of
Jacksonville was surrounded by
loved ones when he passed away Sunday,
November 2 after a short illness. Mr.
McMillan served his country when at a
young age he joined the U.S. Army. He
received an honorable discharge after many
years of faithful service. Besides his family,
he had two loves; one was working on and
rebuilding any and every old car he could get
his hands on; and the second and probably
most important was his passion for college
football. He stayed true to his favorite team,
the Florida Gators to the very end.
Mr. McMillan suffered greatly not just
from the illness that ultimately took his life
but by the loss he suffered many years ago
when he received the news that his mother
Zula Juanice Cheshire McMillan and his two
young children Timothy Lee McMillan (13)
and baby girl Kimberly Sue McMillan (3) had
all three died in a tragic house fire. He was
predeceased by his youngest brother James
Henry McMillan who lost his life at the very
young age of 13.

Daniel McMillan, Sr.; three daughters
Elizabeth Faye McMillan, Christina Marie
McMillan and Evelyn Mira McMillan; two
step daughters Laura Elizabeth Steinbacher
and Layonia Jayhes Konn; two sons Louis
James McMillan and Arthur Ira McMillan,
Jr.; one sister Felecia Ann Morris; and one
brother Thomas Daniel (Jessica) McMillan,
Jr.; as well as six grandchildren.

a.m. Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m.

Bulldogs Defeat the Warriors
The West Nassau Warriors hosted the
Bolles Bulldogs in a district matchup Friday
night. The Bulldogs showed up in full force
and took control of the game from the
beginning. The first quarter was all Bolles
as they scored on two different possessions
not allowing the Warriors near the end zone.
As the second quarter began, the Warriors
had the ball and were successfully moving
it down the field. Davion Dubose was able
to get into the end zone from 1 yard out.
The extra point attempt failed. The Warrior
defense played strong however Bolles was
allowed to score one time in the second
quarter. The score as the halftime buzzer
sounded was West Nassau, 6; Bolles, 21.
The third quarter once again belonged
to Bolles, as they scored on three different
possessions. The Warrior offense just
couldn’t get anything going. After a very
difficult third quarter the Warriors never
gave up during the fourth. Bolles scored
one time during the entire quarter. West
Nassau was able to get the ball into the end
zone nearing the end of the game. They
scored on a 31-yard pass reception from
Colton Paliana to Dubose. The Warriors
went for two on the conversion and got it
on a pass from Paliana to Garrett Delano.
The score at the end of the game was West
Nassau, 14; Bolles, 48.
Even though this was a difficult game
for the Warriors, they were able to tally up
10 first downs and 202 rushing and passing
yards. Individual leaders for the game were
Davion Dubose with 18 carries for 80 yards
and 6 receptions for 75 yards; Brandon
Jackson with 9 carries for 32 yards; Quinn
Coxwell with 2 carries for 30 yards; and
Colton Paliana was 7 of 16 attempts for 81
yards passing.
This Friday the Warriors will host their
county rival the Yulee Hornets at Warrior
field for their final game of the regular
season at 7:30 p.m. The game will also be
senior night where all the senior players,
cheerleaders, band members, ROTC
members will be recognized at halftime.

Eagles Quiet the Flashes
Nick Clark
Another hard fought battle took place
in Hilliard last Friday night. Episcopal
came into Hilliard and struck quickly on
a 60-yard run only 26 seconds into the
game. After that, it became a defensive
struggle until Episcopal scored again on a
41-yard field goal. Hilliard came roaring
back as Bryce Jenkins hit Brian Clark on
a crossing route and Clark went 45 yards
for the first Hilliard score. The extra point
was blocked. Episcopal got the ball to start
the second quarter but was forced to punt.
When Hilliard got the ball back they took
over five minutes to drive down the field
before Jenkins dove in from 3 yards out.
Brayden Carroll added the extra point.
Episcopal took the ball and drove down and
scored on a 6-yard run aided by a huge pass
interference call on third and long. Hilliard
with a chance to drive and take the lead
going into to the half was forced to punt.
Episcopal returned the punt 60 yards for
another score. The score at the half was
Hilliard, 13; Episcopal, 24.
The second half was a defensive battle
on both sides. The Flashes defense only
allowed the Eagles one score in the third
quarter. Hilliard was unable to make it to
the end zone the remainder of the game.
The score at the final buzzer was Hilliard,
13; Episcopal, 31.
Jenkins ended the night with 19
completions on 40 attempts for 193 yards
and 1 touchdown and also had a rushing
touchdown. Clark ended the night with
81 yards on 6 catches with 1 touchdown.
The leading rusher for Hilliard was
Armani Scott with 51 yards on 18 carries.
Defensively, Thomas Castleberry lead the
way with two solo tackles, eight assists and
one tackle for a loss.
After the game, Coach Allison talked to
the team about working hard and continuing
to grow and improve as a team. This is the
second year in the last three seasons that
Hilliard has been in the playoffs.
Hilliard plays their last home game
Friday night at 7:30 p.m. against Cedar
Creek Christian and will also celebrate
Senior Night! Everyone come out and cheer
on the 16 seniors as they play their last
home game ever in Hilliard.
Friday, November 14 the Flashes will
travel to Hamilton County for the first
round of the state playoffs.
