Exceptional Performer Award
Our very own Larry Badger is the recipient of
February's Exceptional Performer Award by the
Appeal-Democrat. The Appeal-Democrat said these
kind words about his work as their visuals editor,
"...that title doesn't begin to detail all of his
responsibilities, which includes creating daily maps
and graphics, coordinating Saturday's Faith and
Family section, overseeing the US profiles and
making sure they follow page-design guidelines.
Most recently, Larry worked exceptionally hard to
design and implement new formats in the newspapers,
including the return of local coverage to the C1
section front.
A longtime newsroom veteran, Larry also provides
invaluable institutional knowledge about the
Mid-Valley area, which is crucial for our new
coverage decisions."

Carl Adams - The article on Carl appeared on June 17, 2006 (no
link available). Carl did a wonderful job of
describing not only the importance of his faith but also how he
lived out his faith. He gives praise to God for creating him as a
wondrously structured miracle and for giving him perspective on the
priorities of life.
He also quotes James 2:20, “Faith without works is dead.”, to
explain that not only are we to recognize the talents and abilities
we have and that they came from our creator, but also that we are to
use those gifts to improve the lives of all that He surrounds us
with. He further explains that we do our best when we do the things
that utilize these talents and not only that but we are our happiest
when doing things that we like. Carl contributes all his joy,
happiness and success to following God’s plan.
