Tonight is spring football for several area teams;
The Tate Aggies will travel to Pine Forest for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
The Northview Chiefs will host Jay at 7 p.m. Admission is $6. Northview and Jay fans should take note of the following information released by NHS:
Visitors to the Northview High School campus for Friday night’s Spring Game are to be advised that there is construction in the stadium area. There are concrete sidewalks being poured, beginning at the entrance all the way by the concession stand. Each visitor is advised to remain alert to obstacles along pathways. Caution tape will be used to alert visitors to dangerous areas. In addition, all possible lighting will be utilized. The ticket booth at baseball will not be open, due to construction.
Parking for the handicapped is available along the fence south of the football practice field. In addition, a driver for a handicapped person may enter the asphalt parking area adjacent to the new weight room, proceed toward the ticket booth, unload any passenger who has difficulty walking, turn around, exit, and park in the regular parking area. The turn-around area is for handicapped only, not for the general public.
Parking in the concession stand area is reserved for concession stand workers, press box workers, chain gang workers, and officials.

Reimagine Century Today: Food, Clothing And Much More For Those In Need
May 16, 2015
The faithful will reach out during Reimagine Century today to touch the hearts and lives of area residents in need.
“Reimagine Century is going to be better than last year. It’s going to be an event where businesses, the community, agencies, industries and churches come together to not only bless the impoverished, but to unite and serve each other,” said organizer Linda English.
She said the volunteers are on a mission to serve those less fortunate — both their physical and spiritual needs.
“We do this first and foremost to emphasize that we are one body of Christ. We have lots of denominations, we have racial division, so for one day come together and all that racial division falls down, all that denomination differences fall down, and we just serve Jesus, the one thing we have in common,” she said. “As we do that, we get the benefit of doing what the Bible says, which is to love on each other and love on the poor.”
“It’s honor to serve those individuals that are in need,” English said.
The event will include a wide variety of activities, including a 15,000 pound food giveaway, health screenings, AIDS testing, diabetes information, live music, fishing lessons from Mission Fishin’, free manicures, information from community agencies, a clothing giveaway, free lunch, free haircuts, youth and teen activities and sports, a diaper giveaway and more.
Reimagine Century 2015 will be held today 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the old Century High School at 440 Hecker Road. The event will go on rain or shine.
Reimagine Century is sponsored in part by numerous organizations, including NorthEscambia.com.
