TIFTON —
Ethics and business are at the core of Rotary International, so it is fitting that the Rotary Club of Tifton has established the Tifton Rotary Ethics in Business Award to recognize a local business that has demonstrated exceptional ethical behavior. The Tifton Rotary Club initiated the new award as part of its 75th anniversary celebration this year.
“This annual award represents the basic values of Rotary and is a way for our Rotary Club to publicly recognize those businesses that adhere to high ethical standards as they serve our community,” said Frank Sayles Jr., president of the Rotary Club of Tifton. “We have many fine businesses in Tift County that contribute to our area’s well-being and that help make Tifton the excellent community that it is today.”
Tifton Rotary Club board members selected the criteria for the award, which will go to a business physically located in Tifton or Tift County. The nominated business must have consistently demonstrated high ethical standards of honesty and integrity in dealing with employees, customers and contractors while enhancing the economic well-being of the company and providing local jobs, opportunity and profits.
In addition, the business must have participated in activities beneficial to the community beyond the provision of economic benefits of the business and must adhere to fair and truthful business practice reflected in the Rotary 4-Way Test: Is it the truth?; Is it fair to all concerned?; Will it build goodwill and better friendship?; and Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
Nomination applications may be obtained from Sayles or any Tifton Rotary Club member. Applications must be submitted and received by March 1 to be considered in this year’s competition.
Nominations may be made by anyone other than an owner or manager of, or family member of an owner or manager of, the nominated business. Nominations should be mailed to the Tifton Rotary Club, P.O. Box 1354, Tifton, Ga. 31793 (attn: Rotary Ethics in Business Award).
A thorough review process involving the Ethics in Business committee of the Tifton Rotary Club, as well as a committee of faculty and students from the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College business school, will select the winner.
The winner will be announced and recognized with an engraved plaque at a meeting of the Tifton Rotary Club in late April or early May.

Identity Theft: Do all you can to protect your credit, debit cards
Pictured are a couple of skimmers, used here on an ATM machine and gas pump. The devices usually fit right over the original card reader or key pad, but are loose when tugged.
It's summertime and there may be only two words on your mind – road trip. As we hit the roads this summer for vacations we all make stops at the gas station and the ATM.

Unfortunately, so do identity thieves. They set up machines called skimmers on gas pumps and ATMs that are designed to fool you and benefit them. The devices read your debit or credit card and record the number, which the thief can collect by retrieving the skimmer or even remotely using a smartphone and a wireless Internet connection. The information will then be used to create a duplicate card bearing the number, but a different name. - Tift Sheriff’s Office investigating scam

Fields played, coached three eras of basketball
Imagine a player averaging 29 points per game for a career and receiving no college scholarship offers. That happened to Dona Fields.
Fields, as Dona Gaskins, is easily Berrien High's all-time leading scorer. She scored her 1,000th point as a sophomore and during her last three seasons was the Rebelettes' leading scorer in every game. She received no college attention, no offers. - Kilgore resigns baseball post at ABAC
