March 2013Precious MemoriesBy: Kay Christopher

As most of you know, my early school years was spent at Fairmont School.If anyone of you dont know where that is, it is the school on the

hill behind where Clayton Homes is now located in Emory Gap.It was a good school, with teachers who cared about their students,

as well as their own morals and reputations.Our teachers dressed in their best clothes. Men teachers wore a suit

and tie, and female teachers wore their best dresses or skirts and blouses. No female, not even the students, wore pants, unless you wore a skirt over them, (which we did on those freezing winter days)Speaking of cold, we all walked to school, and yes, it was uphill-

-not both ways, but getting there on a icy, cold morning was rough.I will say, that on mornings when the temperatures was in the

single digits, Daddy or my uncle J.B. would heat up the car, and fill it up with kids, so we wouldnt freeze to death walking to school.Back in those days, the cars were so big, you could pack ten to

fifteen kids in them.That I remember, the school only used two school buses. One

brought kids from the Cardiff area, and the other from Ash Cabin Road, and Martin Hollow. Very few kids were driven to school by their parents. Most of their Dads worked, and their Mamas didnt drive, and besides, you didnt just jump in your car and go places. Times were tough, and you saved all you could. So, we walked.Most kids took their lunch to school, or either walked home to eat.

Mama would always make me a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and would put either an apple or a banana in there with it. She would give me 2 cents to buy milk with. I remember the small, waxed, paper cartons with the paper straws. Boy, that was the coldest milk you could get. I loved lunchtime.When I was in the fourth grade, Mama let me walk home for lunch.

I walked down the hill, then took a shortcut by Milsaps, (behind where the first WalMart was in Emory Gap) crossed the creek in the backyard, ate lunch, or dinner as we called it then, watched the game show Concentration on TV, then headed back up the hill to school.When I attended grammar school, there were no clothes with

labels, or symbols advertising what brands you could afford. The girls wore hand-me-downs, and the boys wore blue jeans that had to be rolled up. Everyone was poor, but like I have repeatedly stated, we didnt know we were poor--because everyone was.

5. KICK A__ 2 June 28, 2013 Kick A__ is packed with over-the-top violence and the sequel is sure to deliver more of the same. AND Theyve added comedy heavyweight Jim Carrey to the mix. 4. THE LONE RANGER July 3, 2013Theres no doubt The Lone Ranger will be visually stunning and full of amazing action. Its just a shame they forgot to REALLY include the titular character in the first trailer. Johnny Depp is a global star after all and it certainly looks like he has created another memorable character. But seriously, Depp does look awesome as Tonto. 3. ELYSIUM August 9, 2013 District 9 Not much is known about the film outside of the people who saw and raved about the comic-con footage so here is a synop-sis: In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government ofcial, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesnt stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds. 2. FAST & FURIOUS 6 May 24, 2013 Fast 5 changed the game and took the franchise in a completely different direction. They added The Rock and suddenly, the Fast & Furious series became a heist franchise. I thought Fast 5 was great especially with the revelation in the end credits. Why not? I like the characters. I like the new direction. Bring on Part 6. 1. AFTER EARTH June 7, 2013 In After Earth, one thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanitys escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankinds new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige (played by Will Smith) returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai (played by Jaden Smith). When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitais craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. His whole life, Kitai has wanted nothing more than to be a soldier like his father. Today, he gets his chance.

Recycle them. Pop out the glass lenses and put them in a glass recycling bin. If the frames are metal or plastic, you can recycle those also, if your city offers those recycling services.Donate them. Many charities, such as the Lion's Club, collect

glasses to give to people in need who can't afford them. Ask your eye doctor if he knows of such a charity, or simply give them to a thrift store such as Goodwill. You could also ask the director of a nearby nursing home or retirement center if they are in need of glasses for their residents.Save them. Glasses make a great accessory to many costumes.

Remember Harry Potter? Children all over the world were clamor-ing for glasses on Halloween. Include them in your daughter or granddaughter's stash of dress-up clothing.Hand your old glasses down. If they are simple reading glasses,

chances are someone in your family could use them after you've graduated out of them. Ask around with your family and friends.Use them again. If you like the frames, ask your local optical shop

to switch out the lenses for your current prescription, or make them into sunglasses. Alternately, if the prescription is good but the frames are outdated, simply purchase new frames.Make your old glasses into a work of art. Be creative. Attach a pair

of glasses to a pot for a plant, and glue a nose and a mouth under-neath them.Get silly. Put your old glasses on your children's snowman. It will

be the best looking snowman on the block.Send them on a trip. Visions Aid Overseas is a charity that sends

optometrists overseas, along with glasses, to help communities in developing countries.Use them as a gag gift for your friends and family members who

are having a milestone birthday, such as a 40th birthday. Attach them neatly to the top of a gift box, in the center of the bow, or wrap them up and include a hat so that both their eyes and imminent baldness are covered.

Within moments your cough will subsidein the morning youll wake up a new, hacking free woman.3. Achy Breaky Muscles - Vicks relieves sore, overworked muscles. It increases circulation and provides almost instant aid. Use a generous portion and apply it all over the aching area. (Be sure to warn your bedmate as the stench can ensure a nookie-free night.)4. Get Rid of Nasty Nail Fungus - Rub VapoRub on your toenails if you suspect you have a fungus. Within days, the nail will turn darkthis means the Vicks is killing the fungus. As your toenail grows out, the dark part will grow off and you will have fungus-free feet. Keep applying the ointment over a period of two weeks to fully cleanse nail beds of any remaining bacteria.5. Stop Your Cat from Scratching - Cats are notorious for scratching every hard surface they get their claws on. To prevent Miss Kitty from ruining your doors, walls, and windows, apply a small amount of VapoRub to these areas. Cats detest the smell and will steer clear. Vicks can also be applied to your arms and legs if your kitty is prone to scratching you.6. Pet Pee-Pee Deterrent - If your dog or cat is not yet potty trained, put an open bottle of Vicks on the area he or she likes to mark as their territory.

The mentholated scent will release pressure in your head and instantly relieve pain.8. Humidify Your Sleep - Vicks VapoRub can be used in special types of humidifiers and vaporizers. Ensure your humidifier has an aromatherapy compartment before using. The humidifier will circulate Vicks through-out the air and keep you breathing easy all night long.9. Paper Cuts and Splinters - To prevent infection and speed up healing time, dab a small amount of Vicks on any small cut or splinter.10. Ticks and Bugs - If you get bitten by a tick, apply Vicks immediately. The strong odor might help get the critter to release itself and stop bugging you.11. Reek-free Racehorses - Professional racers smother VapoRub under the nostrils of racehorses on race day. The strong stench deters the stallions from the alluring odor of the female pony and keeps them focused on the race.12. Go Away Mosquitoes - Vicks wards off mosquitoes. Apply small dabs of Vicks VapoRub to your skin and clothes and mosquitoes will steer clear. If you do get bitten, apply Vicks to the area and cover it with a Band-Aid to relieve itching.

Near the L & N railroad depot, which was just across the tracks from my house, was a lumberyard with several 15-foot high stacks of cut lumber. Climbing to the top of the stacks was a challenge to 7 & 8 year old kids. This was another favorite play area. One day a couple of us decided to try smoking a roll your own cigarette made from a plant we called rabbit tobacco. We became very dizzy and almost fell off one of the lumber stacks. Needless to say we didnt try that again. Another use of the dirt areas to the back of the house was for mumblety-peg, spinning wooden tops,

marble games, yo-yo competition, playing the jews harp, playing the harmonica, leap frog and flying kites. My friends- Tight Eye, Acorn Head, Nick, G.A., and B.D. - all had small two blade pocketknives and

competition was serious. Mumblety-peg was a boys game in which a jackknife must be tossed from a number of positions so that it always landed upright with a blade stuck in the ground, the loser having to draw a peg from the ground with ones teeth. A game with different size wooden tops was used competitively to try and knock over the tops of other

players. The marble game was even more competitive. Different players used small and large marbles and even ball bearings called steelies. A large or medium size ring was drawn on the ground and two players placed a set amount of marbles within the circle. The purpose was to have your marble blast as many marbles out of the ring as possible. These were called keepers for the player. If a miss occurred the other player would take a try. The game would last until the players won all the marbles. This game was sure rough on the knuckles as the play marble was placed between the first finger and thumb and flipped with the knuckles on the ground. Another dare devil challenge was to cross the RR trestle on the outskirts of Roane Street and jump off

the trestle into the Emory river. These were mostly older boys who could swim really well. I never tried that jump, as I was too young and too scared. Near my house on Crescent Street, which was located very near the railroad tracks, my pals and I would

put pennies on the RR tracks to see how much damage would occur to each penny. On Siluria Street just west of the hosiery mill was a nice house with a watermelon patch. During the

night of the ripe season boys would try to sneak into the patch and grab a melon or two. The owner had it already figured out though. He loaded his shotgun with grains of salt instead of buckshot pellets so as not to really hurt someone if they were hit by his high shots. Boys will be boys and things we did were often dumb. Once G.A. and I walked up the railroad tracks

to the junction where we dared each other to walk across the RR trestle, which crossed the Emory River. Little did we realize that an oncoming train would catch us in the middle of the trestle. Fortunately every few yards a small ledge existed for 55 gallon barrels of water, in case of fire on the wooden cross ties. Enough room on each ledge allowed us to hang on for dear life, as we were well clear of the train engine and cars on the shaking ledge. Needless to say we never tried that again.

Because of thermal expansion the Eiffel Tower is 15cm taller in summer than in winter.The human head contains 22 bones.A bolt of lightning contains enough energy to toast 160,000 pieces of bread. Unfortunately, the bolt only takes 1/10,000 of a second - so turning the bread over might prove difficult! The tomato is the world's most popular fruit.In 1313, King Edward II stated that, 'You are forbidden from dying in parliament.'In Melbourne, Australia it is illegal for men to parade in strapless dresses, however, they are allowed to cross-dress in anything with sleeves.Ravens are kept in the Tower of London because, according to myth, the British throne will come to a fall if the ravens leave the tower. The wings of the ravens are clipped to prevent them from flying away.The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. But not in that order.When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither theory works.It cost 7 million dollars to build the Titanic, and 200 million to make a film about it.

Totally useless information

Have you ever had a headache? Chances are you have; almost all of us do once in a while. And chances are you took some kind of medicine to ease your headache. That medicine was most likely a relative of aspirin.You may also have taken aspirin or its relatives for other problems,

like inflammation (swelling of joints or other parts of the body) or fever. But did you know that about 80 billion aspirin tablets are taken per year for these problems, as well as many others? For example, millions of people take aspirin to help prevent heart attacks. There are good reasons a doctor might say, "Take two aspirin and call me in the morning."Aspirin is a member of a family of chemicals called salicylates.

These chemicals have been known to people interested in medicine for centuries.One of the first and most influential physicians, Hippocrates, wrote

about a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that could ease aches and pains and reduce fevers as long ago as the fifth century B.C. In the 1700s, the scientist Reverend Edmund Stone wrote about the success of the bark and the willow in the cure of the "agues," or fevers with aches. With a bit of chemical detective work, scientists found out that the part of willow bark that was (1) bitter and (2) good for fever and pain is a chemical known as salicin.

No topic in the history of metallic-colored adhesives has been as hotly debated as the exact name of duct tape. "Duct tape" sounds like "duck tape," which of course makes people think it's called "duck tape," when in fact it's called "duct tape". The original name of the substance was "duck tape." At any rate, go back to WWII, when "duck tape" was invented. History has given us many reasons for the original name, but basically it refers to the tape's ability to repel water, much like a duck's feathers. Now, its "modern" name is duct tape. The tape was renamed as such because it was often used to seal (you guessed it!) ducts. However, upon extensive research it was found that duct tape, though frequently used to seal ductwork, should never be used to seal...ductwork. Duct tape is actually an extremely unsafe substance to rely on for such a project--in fact, California has completely banned the stuff for building. But, heres some great ideas to use your duct tape for:

Duct Tape

1. Hanging posters. 2. Decorative book cover. 3. Fix broken tail light on vehicle. 4. Twist a long piece into rope (thousands more uses). 5. Tape wires down on floor or out of the way. 6. Tape wires back together after splicing (much wider than electricians' tape). 7. Reattach rear view mirror.

8. Repair cracked windshield/window. 9. Patch ripped clothing. 10. Hide unsightly wallpaper seams. 11. Repair broken hoses. 12. Repair broken fan belt. 13. Use as art medium. 14. Fix broken book binding. 15. Band-Aid for really big cuts. 16. Attach leg splint to broken leg.

Boiling Water Salt added to water makes the water boil at a higher temperature, thus reducing cooking time (it does not make the water boil faster).Peeling eggs Eggs boiled in salted water peel more easily.Poaching eggs - Poaching eggs over salted water helps set the egg whites.Testing egg freshness Place the egg in a cup of water to which two teaspoonfuls of salt has been added. A fresh egg sinks; a doubter will float.Prevent browning Apples, pears and potatoes dropped in cold, lightly salted water as they are peeled will retain their color.Shelling nuts - Soak your nuts in salt brine overnight and they will crack out of their shells whole. Just tap the end of the shell with a hammer to break it open easily.Preventing sugaring A little salt added to cake icings prevents them from sugaring.Washing spinach If spinach is washed in salted water, repeated cleanings will not be necessary.Crisping salads Salting salads immediately before serving will keep them crisp. Lettuce and spinach can be prepped and stored in a salt water bath in your fridge. They will remain crisp and clean. Just rinse and serve!Improving boiled potatoes Boiled potatoes will be given a fine, mealy texture by sprinkling with salt after draining, then returning them to the pan and shaking them back and forth quickly to get rid of the excess moisture.Crispier fried potatoes Soak potatoes in salt water for several hours before you use them. This will help to leech out some of their starch content.Cleaning tarnished silverware - Rub silver with salt before washing.

Practical Uses For Salt

Spring break for a 13 year old - on taxpayers dime.. Malia on break in Mexico Obamas 13 year-old daughter went, with 12 friends on spring break to Oaxaca Mexico. She took two jets, 12 friends and 25 secret service men. A thirteen year-old! Why havent you heard about it? The Obama Administration had the Secret Service scouring the web ordering that any website mentioning this be taken down because letting the travel plans out could endanger the presidents daughters security. Nonsense, the royal couple just want to hide the way they are ripping off the U.S. taxpayer. Only a few Canadian Web-sites still have it up. This trip cost more than most Americans make in their entire lifetimes

Obamas daughters Spring Break--and were paying for it!

Why have I never heard of this?

Tired of stopping on every floor of the building every time you use the elevator. Hold the 'close door' button and keep holding while

you select your floor number. This will allow you to skip all other floors and go straight to your destination.

To help young kids figure out which shoe goes on which foot, cut a sticker in half and place the right half inside the right shoe and left

half inside the left shoe. Kids can then match up the sticker.

Ever lose your cellphone and end up having your spouse/ friend/ boyfriend call it so you can follow the sound of your ringtone to

the place you last left it? What happens when you lose your phone and no one is around to call it for you? Go to

http://www.wheresmycellphone.com/. Enter your phone number and the computer will call it for you.

To find the original source of a photo open two windows one with Google home page and another with the photo you want to find.

Click on the photo and drag it over to the Google search bar. Google will come up with a list of searches that match that photo.

Don't store medicine in you medicine cabinet! Due to frequent water usage (showers, baths, hand washing) bathrooms often

contain a lot of moisture in the air. This can greatly shorten the life of your medicines, causing them to go bad long before the expira-tion date listed on the bottle. Medicines last longer when kept in a dry, dark and cool location such as the pantry or bedroom closet.

Heavenly HumorAn inexperienced preacher was to hold a graveside burial service at a pauper's cemetery

for an indigent man with no family or friends. Not knowing where the cemetery was, he made several wrong turns and got lost. When he eventually arrived an hour late, the hearse was nowhere in sight, the backhoe was next to the open hole, and the workmen were sitting under a tree eating lunch.The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place.

Feeling guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased to the great beyond in style.As he returned to his car, he overheard one of the workman say to the other, "I've been

putting in septic tanks for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like that."

A Sunday School teacher said to her children, "We have been learning about how power-ful the kings and queens were in Biblical times. But there is a higher power. Who can tell me what it is?" Tommy blurted out, "I know, Aces."

A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt." His son asked, "What happened to the flea?"

To make veils or doilies look new or stiffer place a sheet of wax paper over the item before ironing.Add grated lemon or orange rind when you are preparing apple sauce at home. Just stir it in when you add the sugar after cooking the apples.If lime deposits have stained glasses, jars or vases just pour milk in them and let sit until the milk sours. Empty and wash and the lime deposits will disappear.To keep granite pans and dishes from rusting out on the chipped places, paint the chipped areas with aluminum pain. It really works.When cleaning your oven, set a small dish of household ammonia in the oven overnight. Next morning it can be cleaned without any scrubbing, as the fumes soften the scorched spots so that they can be easily wiped off.When painting woodwork cut strips of old newspapers 3 to 4 inches wide, wet them and then stick them on the floor or wall along the woodwork to be painted and you won't mess up the other surfaces with paint. When through remove the paper strips and enjoy the nice job you've done.Display maps on a handy roll-up window shade. Fine for a study or child's room or a classroom and you can always roll them back up out of the way.Keep a pair of heavy canvas work gloves near your home freezer chest. Slip them on when retrieving or rearranging frozen foods in the freezer to protect your hands from the cold.You dont have to buy glass cleaners and paper towels to clean your mirrors. Just some vinegar and an old newspaper is all you need to keep your mirrors shining as new. Your house will look cleaner if the mirrors are clean.Does your oven get used every day? Someday if youre not using your oven, give it a quick spray of oven cleaner and keep it like that till the next day. Before you turn on your oven the next day, give it a quick wipe down. The baked on stuff comes off much easier than ever.

Butter Replacement - Most recipes that use butter can be cooked with peanut butter instead. In cookies and cakes this can make a wonderful and subtle taste difference. Next time you are making fudge brownies, try using peanut butter instead it will be like eating a huge Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. You can also stir peanut butter into a sauce instead of butter to give it a nutty finish.Mousetrap Bait - Mice are not particularly fond of cheese so it is strange that it is the first food people go for when they are baiting their mousetraps. What most people dont know is that mice prefer peanut butter how this has been proven I do not know, but the fact that peanut butter is so much cheaper than cheese, makes this tip a very handy and frugal one. So next time you need to bait a mouse trap, dont bother loading it with camembert or 5 year aged cheddar, stick on some trusty peanut butter.Price Tag Removal - Despite the major advances in science in recent years, no one seems to have managed to invent a label that can be removed easily without leaving any glue behind. Fortunately, we have peanut butter. Rub some of the tasty spread on the label glue and rub with a cloth it works brilliantly.De-fish the house - If you have ever fried fish, you will know that it leaves behind a rather unpleasant fishy smell in the house. To help eradicate the smell, take a tablespoon of peanut butter after you have finished frying the fish, drop it in the frying pan and fry it off for a minute or two. The smell of peanut butter in the house is much more enjoyable than stale fish and oil.Leather Cleaner - Peanut butter is an excellent cleaner for leather furniture. Just rub a small amount on and work it in in a circular motion. Remove with a buffing cloth and there you have it! The caveat to this tip is peanut-butter smelling furniture. To avoid that you might want to mix a little perfume oil in it but not too much. Also, if you do add the perfume, make sure you dont mix up your jars or you will end up with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that tastes like mouth wash.Gum Remover - While it doesnt happen quite so often to us adults, children often end up with gum in their hair. This would normally be followed up by a lot of tugging and pulling with a comb to remove it, and the eventual chopping of the locks. But what most people dont realize, is that peanut butter is a perfect gum remover not only will it remove gum from hair, but it will remove it from carpet and any other object that is tainted with the chewy stuff. Just rub some peanut butter into the gum and you can wipe the whole mess off with a cloth.Shave With It - Believe it or not, peanut butter makes a great shaving gel. Just apply it like you would apply the gel, and shave as normal. It works just as well and anyone that has bought a container of shaving gel will know, it is a lot cheaper. The end result is a very smooth shave and, as a bonus, the oils in the peanut butter are very good for your skin, so you dont need to spend even more money on mois-turizer for your legs or face.

Other Uses for Peanut ButterWal-Mart vs. The Government1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour, every day.2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March17th) than Target sells all year.4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco+K-Mart combined.5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bank-ruptcy.9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.You may think I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground-work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy. This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!! To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature, it is now official that the majority of you are corrupt morons: a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 238 years to get it right and it is broke.b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 78 years to get it right and it is broke.c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 75 years to get it right and it is broke.d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 49 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and trans-ferred to"the poor" and they only want more.e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 48 years to get it right and they are broke.f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 43 years to get it right and it is broke.g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 36 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure. You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars. AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??

In talking with Chris Corum, who is the manager of the motor-cross we talked about in previous issues, the new Atomic that is going to be built is still a go.Chris told me that an engineer had been up there and had laid out the new track, and now track owner Doug Sopha is waiting on the state permits so he can break ground. Look for the track to hopefully be back racing at the new Atomic Motorcross by late spring or early summer.

The D&R Racing Team out of Kingston has a new driver by the name of Steve Cassebolt. They have already won the Bama Bash, which paid $16,016 to win, and he ran 2nd last weekend at Volun-teer Speedway in Bulls Gap.We wish the team a very successful season.

SOUTH HARRIMAN SCHOOLS ALUMNI AND FRIENDS BEGIN A SPECIAL CELEBRATION YEAR!

There is a new billboard near the highway in South Harriman. Arranged and provided by the South Harriman Schools Alumni and Friends Organization, the striking display announces the fact that the year 2013 marks 50 years since the last class graduated from South Harriman High School in May 1963. Its erection also denotes the begin-ning of a year-long celebration of this Golden Homecoming for all former students and associates of the schools at South Harriman. This celebration, spearheaded by the Alumni Organization, will emphasize special provisions for all the groups regular community projects (e.g., Bicycle presentations for students with perfect attendance at Bowers Elementary School, Scholarships for 4-H camp for Bowers students, Memo-rial and Veteran Day Displays at the site of the former high school) and a special Golden Homecoming Dinner and Program to be held at Roane State Community College on May 25, 2013. It is expected that 350-400 alumni will be attending the homecoming and participating in the special activities through the year. As the billboard attests, the buildings may be gone and the classes no longer exist but for all former South Harriman Pirates, The Spirit Lives On!

You know those awesome vacations you go on with the love of your life when your child is safe with the grandparents all weekend? No? Thats okay. Most parents probably have trouble remembering the last time they got to do that. If I couldnt remember it, there might be cause for concern, considering we took a trip like this just last weekend. My husband and I got to get away to Chattanooga and celebrate our anniversary. Since our daughter stayed with grandparents both nights, the only responsibility we had was representing Middle Tennessee (I should really look into becoming an ambassador) and refraining from jaywalking. That kept us in check, alright. We had an interesting concept for our anniversary trip: we would camp out the first night, go hiking,

explore the area, and generally enjoy nature. This is something we loved to do before having a baby and we dont get to do it enough these days. The second night, we made reservations for a highly rated Inn on Lookout Mountain, the Sky Harbor Bavarian Inn. We made sure to book the suite that came complete with champagne and a Jacuzzi. After a night of sleeping on the ground and shivering nonstop, we got to sleep on the mountain in a big, comfy bed, soak in the Jacuzzi, and enjoy our balconys panoramic view of the river and city. While I enjoy mud under my fingernails as much as the next guy, I think its pretty clear which night we enjoyed more. Sorry, nature.The campground we stayed in turned out to be extremely family-friendly. We saw tons of kids walking

around and playing. At that point, I felt like we should have brought our daughter along. But does anyone bring their children on anniversary trips? Plus, its hard to get any good hiking in when youre traveling at a 2 year olds pace. You know what I mean. Youre walking, and you finally make it 3 feet without interruption or slowing down. ThenMama! Look! Grass! You acknowledge that there is, in fact, grass there. As you continue walkingOh! Look! Tree! Another tree! And before you know it, its getting dark, and youre still only 20 feet from the trail head. Grocery shopping with toddlers is similar. Since Chattanooga is where we spent our honeymoon, it was the perfect destination for our 3rd anniver-

sary trip. We spent a little time downtown, a little time on the Mountain, and a lot of time together. See, I firmly believe that parents just operate better when theyve had a wee little break from the wee little ones. They need that special one-on-one time to reconnect and remember why they decided to create children in the first place. Maybe a little time to drink champagne in a Jacuzzi while they gaze out at the view of the city and a nearby mental hospital. Im just saying. The highlights of our trip: visiting Cravens House on Lookout Mountain, Raccoon Mountain TVA

Pumped Storage Visitor Center (seriously, though!), our Jacuzzi at Sky Harbor, and the time we got to spend together. The worst parts of the trip: Hearing my daughter say she did not miss me yet and wasnt ready to come home (two hours before we came home), the rain on the last day of the trip, and the lack of sleep during our first nights stay. You can check out some photos from the trip on my website. We had a fabulous time, and I guess my little girl was just bluffing when she said she didnt miss me. I

got a great big hug and tons of kisses when she saw me. Later, as we were snuggled up on the couch, watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, she leaned over and whispered, I missed you, Mama. So much. And after dabbing my eyes a little, I vowed that I would never leave her side again. Okay, maybe if theres a Jacuzzi involved. Love, Mom - www.motherinterrupted.com - [email protected]

By: Debra CarpenterMother, Interrupted: Anniversary in the Noog March 201314 The Roane Reader How to avoid Spring Cleaning

1. Vacuuming too often weakens the carpet fibers. Say this with a serious face, and shudder delicately whenever anyone mentions Carpet Fresh. 2. Dust bunnies cannot evolve into dust rhinos when disturbed. Rename the area under the couch "The Galapagos Islands" and claim an ecological exemption. 3. Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter against harmful and aging rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of 5 and leave it alone. 4. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduces the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood?" 5. In a pinch, you can always claim that the haphazard tower of unread magazines and newspapers next to your chair provides the valuable Feng Shui aspect of a tiger, thereby reducing your vulner-ability. Roll your eyes when you say this. 6. Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways by claiming you are collecting it there to use for stuffing handsewn play animals for underprivileged children. 7. If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say, "I'd love you to see our Den, but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive." 8. Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons, and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, "Junior did this the week before that unspeakable accident... I haven't had the heart to clean it..." 9. Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of water in a spray bottle. Mist the air lightly. Leave dampened rags in conspicuous locations. Develop an exhausted look, throw yourself onto the couch, and sigh, "I clean and I clean and I still don't get anywhere..."

Tic TacsThis is a great idea for storing

your change--put it in a Tic Tac container.These little containers have

been floating around for years, and heres some more uses that make them so handy.Store buttons, needles and

thread and stash in your purse for an emergency sewing kit. Keep an empty one in your purse or pocket to store small items and keep them from getting lost Button that fell off your

blouse or shirt. Replacement screws for your

eyeglasses, sunglasses. Band-aidsSafety pins. Salt for a picnic.Rubber bands.Fishing hooks and sinkers. Toothpicks.Screws.And of course, Candy.

1. Gather a cloth bag or basket for collecting flowers. Pack a light snack or a picnic lunch to bring along to make the outing an event.2. Take a walk outside with your mom or grandmother and search for dandelion flowers. They are easy to spot in most back yards and along the edges of fields.3. Collect a batch to use for the card-making project. Be sure to pluck dandelions at the base of the stem. 4. Set out sheets of 8 1/2 by 11 recycled laser paper or cut brown paper bags into squares or rectangles. Set out one watercolor set per child and a small glass of water for dipping. 5. To make a Dandelion Flower Paintbrush Card, lightly dip the flower head into water and then into the water color paint. Brush, press, or twirl the dandelion flower across the paper to create a pattern. Experiment with different colors, different movements.

Heres a great idea to help Mom make something she will really love. Beeswax candles. They are the newest obsession! Not only is pure beeswax a beautiful golden color, it has a cleansing effect on the air in your home. Beeswax is naturally scented. The scent is great. It's fresh and pretty, but not overpower-ing... a little bit like honey! Here's how to make them: 1. Supplies: beeswax, jars, candle wick, scissors, and masking tape.2. Begin by having Mom heat up the wax on the stove in a pot to 140. You don't want the temperature to exceed 185. Pour a small layer into the base of a jar and place a piece of candle wick into the center of the jar.3. Hold this in place until the wax is dry enough to where the the wick stays in place.4. Next, make an X with tape over the top of the jar, poke a hole through the top and pull the wick through. Fill up the jar with melted wax till the desired height. We filled ours 1/2 an inch from the top.5. After the wax is completely solid, have her cut the wick so that it's 1/2 inch tall.6. Let Mom light it, and you can enjoy it with her!

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow color-ing and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

Is The Dow Jones Average Really at a Record High?In spite of what you may have read, the Dow Jones industrial average did not hit a new high recently as far as the value of money is concerned.

After adjusting for inflation, the Dow was higher in 2000 than it is today. It was also higher in 2007. It would need to rise another 10 percent or so to hit an all time high in real (i.e., inflation-adjusted) terms.

By only watching the price of the Dow Jones Industrial Average does little to inform us about the real health of the US economy.While the Dow is representative of the stock value or lack thereof, of some of our largest companies, the figures do not necessarily imply that a

solid recovery is underway. When considering other numbers that change over time, it's routine to adjust for inflation. So when people talk about wages stagnating for Ameri-

can households, it means that, after you adjust for inflation, the median wage is roughly the same as it was 15 years ago. If you didn't adjust for inflation, you would say the median wage has risen by more than 40 percent over the past 15 years. But that would be a meaningless, misleading statement.

It's equally meaningless for the Dow. And even if the Dow did hit a real, inflation-adjusted, all-time high, it wouldn't mean much anyway. The Dow average, drawn out to two decimal places, may seem like some perfectly scientific number, but it's far from it. A small committee selects 30 big companies I.B.M.,

G.E., McDonald's, Disney and so forth and then adds up the price of their stocks. Then the analysts divide it by the Dow Divisor, a misleadingly precise-seeming number formu-lated to account for things like dividends and splits that right now is about 0.132129493. The resulting figure is repeated throughout the country.

What is troubling is that it ignores the overall size of companies and pays attention to only their share prices. This causes all sorts of idiosyncrasies. ExxonMobil, for example, divides its value into nearly five billion lower-cost shares, while Caterpillar has around 650 million more expensive ones. Therefore ExxonMobil, one of the largest companies in history, puts less weight on the Dow than a company less than a fifth its size. An interesting point is that when a company doesnt perform it can be swapped out of the Dow and replace with a better performer. So, the Dow of yesteryear is not the same as the Dow of today!

Looking at stock market averages and drawing significant conclusions from them may have been somewhat more justifiable 50 or 75 years ago when monetary stimulation was less extreme. But today, the stock market price gain has been mainly the result of the various quantitative easing that the Fed has carried out.

When the Dow Jones average is adjusted for inflation, it is still below the high that it hit in 2007. But even this is misleading because the market brought about those numbers due to additional intense Federal Reserve pump-priming.

In 2007, market averages were at an all time high and by 2008 the US economy was in ruins. This should be enough to do away with the idea that the stock market itself is an indica-tor of national prosperity. It is not.

The stock market is easily manipulated by money flows. When central banks generate large money flows via their printing presses, some of this money inevitably finds its way into the financial markets and pushes them higher. The mainstream media then does its best to explain that the financial averages are a sign of recovery.

Today, however, stock averages are more disconnected from underlying economic realities than ever before. One could argue that the Dow currently measures the volume of finan-cial manipulation rather than the underlying health of the economy.

When we look at other indicators to determine economic health, including overall GDP, the employment rate and public assistance programs.

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat. Those with money had plates made of pewter. England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive... So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.

When I was young, I'd play outside until the dark would come my mom would call me in at dusk, or just at set of sun."C'mon home" she would call, "it's getting dark," it's time to come on home"Oh how I miss her lovely voice and her melodious tone.Every meal was cozy, at the table, where we satwe all held hands while dad said grace where we all were at.It was comforting to be together, at each mealIt made us feel that we were loved a special way to feelnow I am old, my hair is white and most family members gone homebut I'm looking forward to supper in heaven when this world I no longer roam.I'll hear Jesus call, C'mon home Chris,He'll beckon me safely inside.Where all of my family are gathered,Forever, with God, to abide!

Supperby: Chris Salamon

We are not our own,We belong to Christ,

Bought by His Blood,Paid for with His life.

No one else has given usA gift which measures up,

To the love the LORD poured out for us,When He drank that bitter cup.

I wonder what it felt likeTo have them spitting in His face,

Precious Lamb upon the altar,So full of mercy, love and grace.

Completely alone, He bore the stripes,The beatings on His back,The agony He bore for us

As the whip gave out unending cracks. The cross, the nails, the crucifixion,

Do we realize what was done? Do we fully know that all our sinWas poured out on God's Son?

Righteousness became accursedAs He hung upon a tree,

Treated worse than a common criminal,For the likes of you and me.

He deserves to receive our everythingLet us give Him what is due

And worship Him in sincerityWith hearts which are pure and true.

God saw him getting tired, a cure was not to be.He wrapped him in his loving arms, and whispered, "Come with me."He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend.He faced his pain with courage, until the very end.He tried so hard to stay with us, but his fight was not in vain.God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain.

We love you and miss you!Loving wife, Marjorie

Loving children, Carolyn, Tim, and David

In Loving Memory of Oscar Edwards who passed

from this life on March 31, 1992

Scott McCluenATTORNEY AT LAW

Scott McCluenATTORNEY AT LAW


No matter what your purpose is in court on any particular day, there are some steadfast rules that cross all state lines. It doesn't matter what the offense/issue is; be it traffic summons, divorce proceedings or arranging parental visitations.

1. Dress appropriately. Avoid sweat suits, belly shirts, mini skirts, sneakers, low riding pants, anything spandex, jeans, character shirts, (i.e. Tweety Bird, Scarface, etc.) If you do not own a suit or dress clothes, clean, plain jeans with a collar or button down shirt, with shoes or boots work well. You would choose clothing for court, as if you were choosing clothing for a job interview or for attending religious service.2. Throw your gum/candy away. You don't want to speak to a judge with gum rolling around your mouth.3. Turn off your cell phone. Turn off your cell phone. You know what? Turn off your cell phone. When a judge hears that phone ring, or sing a song, anything you have to say after that moment will fall on deaf ears. A judge turns off there phone before coming into court, because they are is going to focus on what they are doing. You should return the courtesy. If you absolutely must have your phone on for extenuating circumstances, put it on vibrate.4. Be on time. Better yet, be early. It is better you sit and wait then miss a court appointed time. (Bring something to read.)5. Have all your paperwork with you. Have at least one extra copy of everything, just in case the judge, lawyer, advocate, etc needs a copy. Have your papers in order, in a folder, not shoved haphazardly into your bag or pockets.6. Be respectful, not just to the judge, but to everyone, whether they are the police/court officers at the courthouse, lawyers, or other people waiting for their case to be called. A court house, whether its Family, Criminal Court or Supreme Court is often a place of tension, emotion, and a place of outcomes. If you are angry and frustrated, kicking benches and punching doorways, swearing and talking loudly on your phone you are annoying at best, intimating at worst. Imagine a battered woman coming in to file an Order of Protec-tion against her abusive husband; she's nervous and upset, and there you are yelling into a cell, stalking around the room. etc. Imagine how she feels. Yes, you may be upset, but you must contain yourself and behave yourself while in the courthouse.7. It is your Constitutional right to have a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, tell the judge and she will give you an 18B attorney, which is a court appointed attorney. If you do not meet financial limits required for an 18B attorney, you may ask the judge if she has an advocate resource, which is an organization, (the types differ from state to state and city to city), that can help you find affordable law representation.8. When addressing the judge use the terms, "Your Honor" or the judge's last name. I.e. Judge Doe. If you need to interject something, say, "Excuse me, Your Honor, if I may..." and wait for their answer. If they indicate you may speak, do so. If they tell you not to, do not argue.8. Lastly, listen to the judge. Court proceeding can go quickly, so pay attention. If your emotions are distracting you, bring a friend to sit in the back, observe, and even take notes. If the judge asks who they are, say a friend, who is there only to observe. It is also your right to bring someone in with you, other than your lawyer, be it a friend, pastor, or family member. Speak clearly, and slowly. Answer the question the judge asks you. As long as you are truthful the judge will see that.

Up until this time structural and crash fire trucks were far below the minimum requirements for base fire protection. I kept contacting headquarters and was continually told more fire equipment was on the way. Fortunately, at this time very little air traffic was arriving at U-Tapao due to ramp and runway construction. When the arrival of the first Strategic Air Command personnel began, I asked for a personal meeting

with the new SAC Wing Commander. I went into his office and introduced myself as the Fire Chief. I noticed his name was Colonel White and asked him if he had ever been stationed at Turner AFB at Albany, Georgia. He said he had been there back in 1957-59 as operation officer in one of KB-29 tanker squadrons. I then asked him if one of his daughters had won a first prize in one the Fire Prevention Week contests. He looked surprised and said, yes. I told him I had been the sergeant in charge of the contest and I had remembered him. It was quite a surprise for both of us.I briefed him on the lack of adequate fire protection for the incoming KC-135 and B-52 aircraft. He

stated that he had been briefed prior to his arrival that the base had adequate fire protection. I told him what was available and he was shocked. He picked up his red phone and talked to his headquarters about our conversation. After a few minutes he hung up and said, I believe adequate fire equipment will be arriving very soon.After I arrived back at my office I received a phone call from my Pacific Air Command headquarters.

They were very irritated about my visit with the SAC Wing Commander. I explained that I kept telling them about my need for additional crash equipment and felt it necessary to explain my shortage to SAC folks, as SAC aircraft were to arrive shortly. Needless to say with
