dated for several years. Hunter explained, “Travis was

an unusual young man, in that he asked permission of Lindsey’s fa-ther to date her. I think that made an impression on several of us, including Lindsey and her father and mother. “Travis and Lindsey were so well matched, enjoying similar things including the outdoors, dogs, goats, chickens, cows, etc. They had differences, of course, which mostly added spice and variety to their relationship. Though Tra-vis was strong and independent minded, Lindsey is also strong and independent minded. Again, they were a good match for each other.”

The couple married on May 8, 2014, Lindsey Allison-Waldroup’s birthday.

The statement said, “Travis’s family, his mother, father, siblings and others, watched him continue to grow and mature. He continued

with that sweet smile and those warm, loving blue eyes. He had a quiet spirit about him. He insisted on not being the center of attention. He did not want fanfare or any-thing that would draw attention to him. He was even seemingly bashful with playing the guitar and singing in church, again related to his not wanting to draw attention to himself.”

Early Saturday morning, Aug. 6, the BRMEMC Facebook page posted condolences about the 31-year-old man.

“BRMEMC is mourning the loss of one of our employees, Travis Waldroup,” the site said. “Travis lost his life in a farming accident on Friday, August 5th. He was a dispatcher with BRMEMC and has a beautiful wife, Lindsey. Please help us in remembering this family in your prayers during this very difficult time.”

BRMEMC Director of Economic Development Erik Brinke said,

“He was a fantastic employee who passed way too early in life.”

The comments posted on the EMC’s Facebook echoed those sentiments, saying what a great human being the young man was. Several commented how he would be missed.

BRMEMC’s new general man-ager, Jeremy Nelms, issued this statement about Waldroup, “Tra-vis Waldroup was an exemplary EMC employee who could al-ways be counted on to do his job well. While Travis was a quiet person who avoided calling any attention to himself, he became a well-respected member of the Blue Ridge EMC team through his dedi-cation to his career, his consistency and loyalty to our mission. Travis has left a lasting impression on those privileged to know and work with him and he is already sorely missed by his BRMEMC family.”

Travis Waldroup’s family add-ed, “Perhaps if Travis could have

seen all the crowds of people he drew to his funeral, he might have thought he failed in avoid-ing drawing attention. But he did not fail in that area. For as we, his family, soon realized and beyond our far-reaching imagination, this young man had touched the lives of so many: students he had gone to school with, teachers, admin-istrators, co-workers, employers, and many, many others that we have no idea who or how much he had touched their lives. For in this quiet-spirited young man, he had spoken volumes in the way he lived his daily life,” they continued. “He did not have to be the center of attention or become a great singer, businessman, preacher, cowboy, or any professional in particular. He lived a simple life, respected others’ lives, and wanted to live his life on the farm with his wife, Lindsey.”

“We, his family, cannot express our heartfelt gratitude for all the

love and outpouring of support we have received from so many through this trying time,” the statement ended. “We are very sad at losing this precious young man from our lives. He made our lives so much better. We do not worry about where he is, for he was a fine, young Christian man. He was human and, therefore, not perfect. However, his life was and will con-tinue to be a testimony for the way he lived. We will carry him in our hearts and minds. We hope many of you have been changed for the better for having known him.”

Judy Waldroup will always cher-ish the memory of her son. “He was always a sweet little boy,” she said.

The Towns County Sheriff’s of-fice did not have an official report, but Sheriff Chris Clinton did offer this, “The Towns County Sheriff’s Office hurts for this family and ask for your thoughts and prayers for Mr. Waldroup’s family.”

ACCIDENT CoNtiNued

Economic Development Director Aaron Patton ad-dress the County Commis-sioners’ meeting Thursday evening.

Clay County Tax Collector Rehnaye Talley had pro-posed that the tax office work closely with the attor-ney on delinquent taxes.

on the matter. Because Leek has not been involved in a previous sale of county surplus property, he would prefer to go through Jones for this first sale, he said.

“I’m all for local people unless we delay,” Penland noted.

1,500 loads of dirtcoming for ball fieldsPenland said Alvin Led-

ford of Alvin D. Ledford Grading in Hayesville has offered 1,500 loads of dirt for the ball fields and he will strip away the topsoil for $7,500. The dirt would cost about $150,000 if the county had to buy it, Penland said.

“I don’t disagree with some of the things Penland said and certainly we don’t want to lose $150,000 worth of dirt, but I have several questions and concerns,” Commissioner Robert Peck interjected and proceeded to point them out.

These included no previ-ous mention of a time frame, site preparation, any erosion control plan, whether re-moved topsoil will degrade over time and the matter of no bids going out.

“I’m not an environmental engineer or a soil scientist,” Peck said. “How are we go-ing to pay for it?” Later in the discussion, he noted, “My initial conversations were that we were to stockpile this dirt at no cost to the county.”

Commission Chairman Randy Nichols said, “I’ve always been very adamant about having bids on ev-erything that’s being done and I feel no different about this.”

Nichols and Peck opposed the motion made by Pen-

land to accept the dirt. The remaining commissioners voted for the motion and it passed 3-2.

Under old business, Peck pointed out that Marie Gunther at the Clay County Transportation Department and Kevin Sheehan at the Clay County Transfer Station have been working under the title interim director. Wasn’t it time to remove the interim titles and address their pay?

“Your people are your greatest asset,” Peck pointed out, making made a motion to remove the word interim from the respective titles. Since the county could pay $7,500 for ball field dirt the commission should have a discussion “on taking care of our folks,” he suggested.

The motion to remove the interim title passed without opposition but the commis-sion did not directly address the salary issue. Sheehan’s current salary is equivalent to the previous interim di-rector’s and 85 percent of

Gunther’s comes from fed-eral transportation funds.

Collecting back taxesTalley had proposed that

the tax office work closely with Jones in the collection of delinquent taxes. The commissioners agreed to pay Jones for preparation of a letter to be sent to tax scofflaws.

At Talley’s suggestion the board also agreed to sign a contract with Business In-formation Systems to assist in the installation of credit card machines for payment of taxes. The BIS bid was one of three submitted. “This company will accept elec-tronic checks and all major credit cards and will charge a 3 percent convenience fee to do so,” Talley said.

Talley told the commis-sioners that Clay County’s tax collection rate is at 96.49 percent, up slightly from the previous year ’s 96.1 percent. Of the 3.4 percent

in outstanding taxes from last year, the county has col-lected more than 50 percent, she said.

“We are doing garnish-ments, attaching rents, talking to taxpayers on the phone and we’ll be sending out letters,” she said. “Some we’ll proceed with foreclo-sures.”

The commissioners passed a resolution to authorize, empower and command Tal-ley’s office to collect the back taxes, place liens on all real property where appropriate and use the county attorney where necessary to do so.

“Come back and see if we need to appoint that attorney to give you help on that,” Logan told her.

“We’re trying to get the tax bills for this (fiscal) year out,” Talley said. “We’re gearing up to do the reappraisals and I’m working on an audit.” When these are completed she will turn her attention to collecting delinquent taxes and she promised to give the commissioners a progress report.

Under old business, Leek read and asked for revision of a resolution noting that Clay County opposes any additions to wilderness area designations by the Forest Service.

The resolution expressly named areas around Shoot-ing Creek, Cherry Cove, Chunky Gal, Tusquittee Bald including most of the Fires Creek watershed and the Tusquittee and Valley River mountains.

“The Forest Service said our resolution had no teeth

and we were not specific” in the previous resolution Clay County passed opposing additional wilderness area designations, Logan said. “They own almost 50 percent of Clay County. We need to fight to try to keep these ar-eas open. For our economic best interests we need to try to keep a little control over our forests so we can have bike trails, horse trails, camping and open roads so people can drive on it.”

On the U.S. Forest Service Web site, the National Wil-derness Preservation System reports: “More than 12 mil-lion people visit wilderness each year to hike, hunt, fish, ride horses, raft, ski and take pictures.”

Downtown jobs addedSandy Zimmerman pre-

sented reinvestment statis-tics from the Small Town Main Street Program and told commissioners that 10 full-time jobs have been added in downtown Hayes-ville during the past year with a total investment of $237,050.

“What helps the town helps the county,” she said.

Economic Development Director Aaron Patton said because the county is listed as a “distressed” county by the Appalachian Regional Commission the county is eligible to apply for ARC grants of up to $300,000.

The grants require a 20

percent match, but this match can also be met with in-kind contributions.

The $65,465 value in vol-unteer hours contributed under last year’s Small Town Main Street program could be used as an in-kind match, he said.

In other action at Thurs-day’s meeting, the com-missioners appointed Bar-bara Ford, Deena Collins and Judy Herr to the Clay County Council on Aging Leadership Team.

ing before the temperatures increase too much. “We have recorded 105 degrees in there,” he said.

“Sales are up. More people are traveling and sales are up around the state,” Pat-terson added. June and July combined had $415,593.56 in revenues. After costs and expenses, the net ordinary in-come for June was $15,387.39 and $19,650.17 for July.

After the June manda-tory and profit distributions, that month’s net income was -$81,076.91 and July’s was $19,675.42. Both months combined were -$61,401.49. When large distributions are made, the monthly numbers usually appear to be low.

Are the taxpayers of Clay Coun-ty aware that we will be expected to foot the bill for a proposed ball field? It appears that our county commissioners think that Clay County residents are wealthy and able to absorb the $1 million cost for the project through our property taxes and the ¼ cent pro-posed sales tax increase. Further-more, the $1 million is just a start as the ball field will be completed in phases. The final cost of this project will be approximately $5 million as mentioned at the com-missioners meeting of Aug. 4.

According to the published July 14 Progress article, “an estimated $96,000 has been given to do the engineering work alone.” Com-missioner Ed Roach said in the same article that the fields would be a “significant economic impact to our county.” I have to ask Roach if Clay County is planning on hosting a world olympics? The only economic impact that I can imagine is the hardship that this cost would put on the taxpayers.

Already there is a long list in tiny print of Clay County resi-dents whose property taxes are in

arrears. How many more taxpayer names will appear on the back tax rolls when the top employer in Clay County is the welfare and Social Security programs? Come on, commissioners, if you’re so eager to spend a bunch of money, why not put it to good use and help better fund our sheriff’s department. We need a well equipped sheriff’s department with more well trained officers who will serve our entire county and all of its residents. Not new ball fields.

Commission strikes out on ball-field funding

Opinions are just that, opinions; they may be logical, based on experience and knowledge, but in the end, it’s up to you to find them relevant, logical and truth-ful. Just remember that truth can be elusive and the claim of truth should always be questioned, even fact checked when possible at: www.factcheck.org or Snopes? A contributor accused others of liberal speak, a maligned term, like conservative, and not speak-ing the truth, but these are his opinions. It is always up to you to find the truth, a process based on reading inclusively, finding reliable sources and a continuing thirst for knowledge.

Now another opinion. After weathering the long primaries and conventions, it’s time to study the important issues. For many this is not an easy task, but for others who vote along party lines,

it’s a foregone conclusion based on an allegiance to one party, one platform.

I have at times struggled with party allegiance. Is it based on family history, the ideology of parents, grandparents, etc.? Is it a marital decision, as in until death do we part? Or has it been a jour-ney, a choice based on your per-sonal experience and knowledge? Whatever the method, consider that ideologies can change. The chemistry of such an important choice is not for the faint of heart. So many changes, so many ques-tionable candidates.

For myself, I try to vote along humanitarian lines, morality first, party second. To that end, I hope you will compare your party’s platform to your moral platform. Do you believe we are created equal and deserve equal oppor-tunity? Do you denounce racist

symbols and behavior, do you believe in We, not I and promote social issues such as free health care, social security, equal wages and a livable minimum wage, free quality public education, the right to vote without restriction other than age and citizenship, the freedom to practice your religious belief but not to impose that belief on others and the right of women, like men, to control their own bodies.

I’m sure I have missed a few, but in general, these rights are part of my moral platform. Many religious deities, Buddha, Dalai Lama, Gandhi and Jesus Christ, lived among the poor, caring for them, professing peace and most importantly, without judgment. In the end, I hope this is an impor-tant criterion for determining your platform.

Ruth Ballard

Seeking truth, relevance and logic in opinions

Fred Jackson wrote a very good letter last week on the Democratic convention. So very true. Our mayor wrote a pathetic one. A woman president is long overdue in the United States but not this woman. Hillary is no Margaret Thatcher.

Clay County Progress is trying to influence voters with their obvious bias against Trump. You should be ashamed of yourselves, you are no better than the rest of the media.

Hillary and Bill have been involved in criminal activity, shady dealings and scandals since their humble beginnings

in Arkansas. From Whitewater to Benghazi their record speaks for itself. Why not print some of these true stories. You run down Trump but would you rather trust your national security to someone who rakes in millions of dollars through illegal finances from for-eign governments?

Would you choose as your Commander in Chief a woman who coldly lies to grieving parents of four dead Americans as their coffins are unloaded?

This woman created a private e-mail server to avoid the Freedom of Information Act requests shar-ing classified information with her

yes men selling her information in the State Department to the highest bidder. She attempted to destroy evidence of wrongdoing and when faced with the truth has still boldly lied to the American people. There is so much more to be told.

Clay County Progress, why will you not print the truth? People have the right to know the rest of the story. Hillary will destroy what is left of America. Trump is a business man who turned $1 million into a billion. I believe he can turn this country around. He needs to be given that chance .

Ruth Newsome Nelson

Newspaper obviously biased against Trump

Raise county’s revenue by increasing its jobsI’ve been wanting to write this

for a long time, but was not too inspired until I read in the news-paper, where the commissioners want a .025 percent sales tax in-crease and to reappraise property so they can get more money to spend.

Why don’t they get off of their appeared lazy back sides and get some big businesses here? That

will employ more than 36 people or so, like Target, this is Walmart’s biggest competitor or another grocery store like Kroger to give Ingles competition, they need it.

I’ve lived here 32 years and all I see is two new banks and two closed, one grocery store and one closed, two gas stations and three closed, two new drug stores and one closed.

Is this what they call progress? We have so-called one of the best schools in North Carolina, but after graduation they have to go elsewhere to find work and live.

So the commissioners keep putting the tax burden on us who live here.

Why?Vernon

Media bias, is it

real?It’s certainly been the year

for accusations of media bias and allegations of it are particularly prevalent in the presidential election.

I’m sure, like other profes-sions, there are folks who would abuse the public’s trust by taking comments out of context, making mountains out of mole hills or just giving candidates zillions of dollars worth of free advertising because it provides an entertaining show. But that is rare in real news coverage.

People often confuse commentators on broad-cast news with journalists. There’s a big difference and in many cases these com-mentators you see arguing the virtues of Hillary Clin-ton and Donald Trump are paid by TV stations.

CNN hired Trump’s former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski to share his expertise on the campaign with viewers.

I’m sure there are former staffers or others closely associated with Clinton who are also on a network payroll.

Many viewers tune in and assume they are watching news coverage as these paid surrogates spout their candidate’s virtues. They rarely give honest or direct answers to questions anyway so what have they contributed to the campaign coverage?

I don’t know why any news outlet of any kind would tread so deeply into murky ethical waters.

Besides, there are a mil-lion experts and candidate insiders who love to hear themselves talk and would gladly share their commen-tary on national TV for no charge, nada.

Anyone can see why viewers get confused. If you’re in a right-leaning mood and you’re longing for some Crooked Hillary is the Devil commentary, why, you can just flip the chan-nel to Sean Hannity on Fox News and get your fix.

Maybe you’re leaning heavily to the left and you’re in the mood for a few Trumpisms. What better place to get a rundown of his crazy antics and insult-ing comments than on “Hardball With Chris Mat-thews” just a few channels up from Fox on MSNBC.

I don’t consider either of these stations unbiased news channels and they don’t really even pretend to be.

Sometimes I think if a journalist is tough in ques-tioning our candidate of choice we feel a little nudge of mistrust toward the inter-viewer. Hard questions can make our candidates look uninformed and dishon-est. It’s a much easier out for candidates to claim the media is biased than offer direct, intelligent answers. You’ll know a journalist is unbiased when they refuse to let the candidates off the hook.

Is media biased? I don’t think so. anyway.

What is the new phenomenon on the square? No, not Pokemon, trash. It seems a rash of trash has popped up on the square.

The square has become the stop-ping place for candy wrappers, fast food items, dog poop and cigarette butts. There are trash receptacles located around the square to prevent the clutter of litter.

The people you see almost daily on the square planting plants, watering

the plants and caring for the flowers and plants are not hired by the county or the town. They are all volunteers with the common goal to keep the town square a beautiful place for all to enjoy.

Although you might not belong to one of the non-profit groups work-ing together in this effort, you can do your part by using the trash cans to discard your trash and cigarette butts. As a responsible dog owner with your

dog, you should not leave home with-out a baggie to pick up anything your pet leaves on the ground.

Don’t assume someone else will pick up the candy wrapper you are walking past on the square. Take a second and be a volunteer, throw it away. Working together we can con-tinue to keep the courthouse square a beautiful place for all.

Disagree with last week’s opinion regarding ‘open carry’ regulationsThis is written as a response to

“Open carry doesn’t apply to all establishments.”

I am a man who has owned guns most of my life and one who carries every time I leave my house, so I can’t help but disagree with Mr. Kowel’s opinion.

First, Mr. Kowel, openly carry-ing a firearm “while consuming alcohol or while alcohol or a con-trolled substance is in the blood,” probably should not be listed as “one of the five places one can open carry.”

Considering that, you would in fact be referring to a physical and mental state and not an actual location.

Furthermore, I can find no North Carolina laws or statutes that allow open carry while con-suming alcohol or under the in-

fluence of a controlled substance.The next bone of contention

was the cheap-shot, pun intend-ed, that you, Mr Kowel, took at our police officers and every sin-gle one of us law abiding citizens who choose to carry, by insinuat-ing that the police or the citizens would quite possibly shoot any person who wasn’t white if that person were carrying a gun.

To that I say, “no sir.” You may not put that on our local police, who I respect or our citizens who have every right to defend themselves. Save your social justice warrior rhetoric and politi-cal hyperbole for a more gullible audience.

We prefer facts, not supposition and not fiction with an agenda. Here are a few places you can go read the facts for yourself: www.

americangunfacts.com, www. atf.gov/resource.center and www.fbi.gov.

While we’re on the subject of facts, Mr Kowel, here’s another fact for you, black, brown, white, yellow or red; no matter what ones’ skin color, if that person is an adult American citizen, then they have the same right to keep and bear arms.

Pertaining to open carry, you likened it to “the Wild West,” and asked the question, “What message does this send to our children?”

I happen to think the message is a strong, clear one of confi-dence, security and self-empow-erment. That should a desperate situation arise in which help isn’t readily available they still have a fighting chance of protecting

themselves.The message that we all, as

citizens, have an inalienable and constitutionally guaranteed right to defend ourselves and others from those that would do them harm.

My suggestion to you, Mr. Kowel, since you feel “intimi-dated” and “publicly threatened” by people exercising their rights, would be for you to move to a place where guns are banned such as Australia or the United Kingdom.

Before you start packing, though, you might want to read their crime stats. As you might have guessed — little gun crime. Plenty of rapes, sexual assault, beatings, cuttings, muggings, stabbings, etc., but at least you won’t feel “intimidated.”

One more thing, the next time you decide to make an unin-formed, generalized, all-inclusive statement like, “Civilians visibly carrying guns in the streets and businesses makes us all less safe,” think again and only speak for yourself, because I don’t know a single person who agrees with your opinion.

“Among the natural rights of colonists are these: First, a right to life, second, to liberty, thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can.

These are evident branches of rather than deductions from the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.” — Samuel Adams, Nov. 20, 1772

YOur Views

As a Murphy resident, I had the opportunity to meet and discuss member-ship issues for both the VFW and American Legion locally and nationally with Commander Byers. As a former VFW and American Legion member and my letter dated Dec. 20, 2014 to the VFW and American Le-gion was part of our discus-sion and explains why I’m “currently” not a member of either organization.

As with any organiza-

tion, it’s always the few, enablers, doing all of the work for the majority, tak-ers.

Until the leadership of both the National VFW and American Legion has a par-ticipation requirement for its members, I along with many others will no longer be willing to contribute our time or energy to either of these organizations.

Both of these organiza-tions need to pay particular attention to the younger

veterans that might be asking, “What’s in it for me and why would I want to join?”

The VFW and American Legions provide many vet-eran benefits and it would be wise of all veterans to contribute their time to these organizations or as Commander Byers stated, “He believes in 10-15, the VFW in Andrews will no longer exist” and only their members or lack of mem-bers will determine their

future.What would be wrong

with requiring all members to invest 40 hours per year in helping themselves and other veterans by getting involved?

I was flattered to be asked by Commander By-ers to become a member and leader in his post but for the reasons stated, I’m not ready to take that step but did offer to help Com-mander Byers to showcase the efforts of his post if he

lets me know what they’re doing.

Mayor Baughn and council members Sarah Buckley and Joe Slaton, and look forward to becoming more and more involved in the great work that is already going on and the future of our beautiful town,” Penland said.

Penland’s appearance on the council was the major item of business at the evening’s meeting. Mayor Baughn gave a brief recap of the town’s awnings project. Metal samples of replacement awnings were received and displayed, he said, and two colors were on view for owners and business operators to decide which they preferred.

“Unfortunately, most of the business owners seem split right down the middle,” Baughn said. “We will need a meeting with the town owners to complete this project.”

The council approved a resolution ac-cepting a 300-page hazard mitigation plan

developed with Macon County. The plan already passed the Clay County Commis-sion. It outlines emergency preparedness procedures.

The mayor also reported on the cutting of damaged maple trees on the square.

Included in the evening’s public input was a report from Sandy Zimmerman that she had presented to the Clay County Com-missioners last week. The downtown area reports a net gain of 10 full-time and two part-time jobs over the past year. Three new businesses have opened, one has closed and five others have expanded, she said.

The Small Town Main Street Program, which meets next Tuesday evening, Aug. 16, is seeking grants and awaiting word on two previously submitted grant applications. Word is expected on those applications some-time this month, she said.

Be delivered from practical-atheismThis morning I talked with an inquisi-

tive lady. She commented on last week’s sermon “Awake My Soul.” “The part about practical-atheism really struck me.” She said. “You said practical atheism is liv-ing our life as though everything were up to human accomplishment. Well I thought about it and decided that’s how I live my life, like ev-erything is up to me. I wondered — what’s the alternative?”

Now that’s an interesting question — especially in the dog days of summer while political campaigns endlessly drudge on. What’s the alternative to living as though everything depends on human accomplishment? My an-swer was simple. “The church is the alternative.”

“What do you mean?” She asked. “Well,” I said “our whole life we’ve been told that if we make it or if we fail, depends wholly on what we think and do. But in the church, we stand up weekly and say that the most impor-tant actions in the world are actions by God: Creation, covenant, the Word becoming flesh, the cross, resurrection, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the mysteries of prayer, healing, infant-baptism and the Lord’s Supper. All these strange things are primarily about what God is doing and only distantly and secondarily about us.”

I went on to give this example. “People often rightly talk about being

logical, practical and rational. But that assumes there’s only one logic and rationality out there. Because of the faithfulness of our members, we’ve

come upon a surplus of money this year. Now, one sound logic would say, “Save it.” Another logic might say, “Give it all to the poor.” But we chose another logic.

All four gospel writers tell about a sinful woman that interrupted a dinner

Jesus attended. She flies into the room and dumps a jar of expensive perfume all over Jesus, weeps and dabs his soaked feet with her hair. Indignantly, the good religious people respond. “He’s clearly no prophet or he’d know what a sinner she is” and “Hey, sell that stuff and we could feed a bunch of poor folks.” That was Judas, another savvy economist and we know what he’d do with 30 pieces of silver.

Jesus commends the woman, though. “You’ll always have the poor among you. Her sins,” Jesus says, “which are many are forgiven; hence she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”

Our church’s upcoming “Pig Pickin’ and concert” on Sunday, Aug. 14. I was encouraged by some to make it a fund-raiser. Others even questioned why we’d do such an elaborate event while trying to pay off debt. Our church, however, ultimately decided it’s a gift and an offering.

At Hickory Stand’s event last week,

many people asked, “Why are you doing this for free?” My response was simple. “We want this to be a fragrant offering, a gift for Jesus.” I should have said, “We’ve been forgiven for much, so we love much.”

That’s the alternative to practical atheism — the church. Knowing we have some debt; knowing there’s poor to feed; we leave the confines of the sanctuary and throw an extravagant party for the community in the name of Jesus. That means we trust that the world turning out right isn’t up to us. We trust money will keep coming in and we don’t have to hoard or twist arms for finances. That’s looking at a world that separates people by finances and class and saying, “We want to hang out and eat with you and we’re taking down all the barriers that normally keep us separate. Some of you can’t afford a concert and dinner. Come anyway. It’s free. Some of you had bad experiences in sanctuaries. We’re hanging out at the lake. Come taste and see.”

You see, it’s a different sort of logic that we use in the church. It’s the logic of the table in the shadow of the cross, the Lord’s Table. It’s the logic of gift and sacrifice and new creation. It’s the only logic where everybody gets the same invitation. Come, taste and see that the Lord is good.

I’m so proud of our churches. We’re being delivered from practical-atheism. Hallelujah. Amen.

For we are laborers together with GodIn my boyhood, I wanted to be with

my dad. I loved to work with him, but since he worked on a public job, I didn’t have many opportunities to do so, but I recall a spe-cial period of time in my boyhood when this was not the case. When I was 11, my parents decided to build a new house.

Dad chose to build this new house completely by himself. What I mean by completely is, he cut the logs, hauled them to the mill, helped at the

mill, hauled the lumber back home and stacked it, dug and poured the footings,

helped lay the blocks and did the framing and the finish work.

Many Saturdays, I helped my dad and he paid me $5 a day. Five-dollars may not seem like much, but the im-portant thing was I got to labor with my dad.

My dad and I had a great personal re-lationship and I worked with him, not for him. There is a big difference.

The same is true concerning our work for the Heavenly Father. We should work with him, not for him. I Corinthi-ans 3:9, For we are labourers together with God. Yes, with God. Just to think that I am laboring with God is exciting to me. Are you a laborer with God? Are you engaged in his work?

God seeks those who are seeking the truthThe Samaritan woman was among

those who would spend two days with Jesus. I guess that at some point she got her water. She probably even drank some of the water out of Jacob’s well. Let’s listen to a conver-sation as the Samaritan woman testifies. I can see her now. She is smiling. She is talking with other people of Sychar about this Jew whose conversa-tion with her was about living water. He never gave me any water. Now I know and understand what he is talk-ing about. In him is the living water. He is from God and he is the eternal man. For me this is an amazing thing that the Savior of the world stopped in our town and stayed two days helping us understand the true nature of God. I can see that God is not a respecter of persons. I had no idea of how tied up I

was in the circumstances of my life until I met this Jesus who is the Messiah of the world.

Listen to him. He says that God loves us and can you believe that his mission is to die. He says here I am. I am the Fa-ther’s sacrifice for you. I will overcome the world with the power of God’s love for you. This man says that he is the revela-

tion of the very God and I believe him. Listen to his words. He is so humble and graceful. No man has ever spoken like him. Don’t you just love him? He has a radiance on him and the atmo-sphere changes when I am in his pres-ence. Surely the most high God is with us this day.

Listen to the Samaritans. We are so thankful that you came and told us about this man. Now we have heard

him for ourselves and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world. They have received Jesus and they are basking in his light. They are soaking up his words like a dry sponge in water.

Jesus knows that in heaven the an-gels are celebrating. This day the Son of God soaks up the love of the Father as these people receive him and they give back to God pure sweet worship because they hungered and thirsted for truth. Now the very truth of God is with them in bodily form and they rejoice in God’s truth. Can you see the electric atmosphere in this Samaritan town of Sychar? The living water is gushing out. It is flowing up into the atmosphere and raining down the very Spirit of the liv-ing God. Open your heart and mind to receive this beautiful Spirit of Truth.

The chronic hum of the almost famous worker bees fills the air at Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. With the fabulous fall festival only eight weeks away, savvy shoppers will be thrilled to learn that dona-tions have already exceeded all previous festivals.

The festival slueth has had an exciting sneak peek of the silent auction. A beautiful

roll top desk, a stately pewter collection, a wide selection of bicycles, several inviting sets of outdoor furniture and beautiful hand crafted tables were the first items in view. Plans for additional weekly sluething are in place. One of the festival largest booths, The White Elephant, is filled beyond capacity and the pricing is awesome.

The areas largest fall festival is scheduled for Friday-Sunday, Sept. 30, Oct. 1 - 2. Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is located on Highway 515, Blairsville, Ga.Verse to Remember

The Young Harris College Com-munity Band will kick off its fall concert season on Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Under the direction of YHC adjunct instructor of music Kerry Rittenhouse. The band provides an opportunity for local musicians to perform quality musical literature,

it serves as an educational resource for area schools and it presents several free concerts every year for the residents of Young Harris and surrounding areas.

All local band musicians are en-couraged to become a part of the band. While there is no audition, members need to regularly attend rehearsals and be responsible for the preparation of their music. The band rehearses weekly from

6:30-8:30 p.m. on Tuesday nights in the band room of YHC’s Fine Arts Annex.

Music selections are chosen to accommodate the group's overall ability and vary in difficulty. Re-hearsal is paced and scheduled to accommodate all ability levels within the band. If you are a local musician that is a regular player or someone who hasn't played in a while, there is a place for you in

the YHC community band.The band was originally founded

as the performing ensemble of the college. As the college band grew in numbers, ability and quality, the community band evolved into a separate performing ensemble of YHC. Members of the band come from many different professions, range in age from 14-82 and hail from North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.

The band will commemorate Veteran's Day with a special concert on Thursday, Nov. 10, on the YHC campus. The community is invited to enjoy patriotic music and band classics as we recognize and honor our Armed Forces veterans.

For details, visit the Young Har-ris College Community Band’s Facebook page or e-mail: Dr. Rit-tenhouse at: [email protected].

Karen Hurtubise and John Clarke, of Qualla Berry Farm in Hayesville, will give a presentation on their experience growing organic ginger and turmeric in the western North Carolina mountains. They have been growing and selling the fresh rhizomes of these amazing tropi-cal plants since 2013.

The presentation will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Moss Memorial Library.

Hurtubise and Clarke came to the area from Oregon in the early ‘80s to learn homesteading and crafts at the John C. Campbell Folk School. Hur-tubise is originally from Tennessee and Clarke from Chicago. They have gardened organically since 1982 in Hayesville and won first place in the

southeast in Organic Gardening Maga-zine’s Garden of the Year contest in 1984. Hurtubise is a full time licensed massage therapist since 1987 and owns Sweetwater Healing Center in Young Harris where this spring they taught the first growing great turmeric and ginger class.

She is also resident artist for gar-dening and nature studies at the Folk School and teaches on pollinator gar-dens and growing your best tomato. Clarke built houses for many years as a building contractor and is now buildings and grounds manager at the folk school. He keeps bees and will be teaching a folk school class on fall beekeeping in 2017.

They started Qualla Berry Farm or-ganically growing red raspberries in 1996 and started a small scale U-pick farm in 2001. When the spotted wing

drosophila pest appeared in 2011 they were unable to continue with the rasp-berries as before and with help from the Natural Resources Conservation Service built a high tunnel hoophouse in 2012. It turns out to be a good place to grow ginger and turmeric because it extends the growing season into late fall and early winter.

Hurtubise and Clarke will discuss plant history, share their growing methods and suggest ways people can grow their own ginger and turmeric on a small scale. Their presentation will also cover ways they have learned to use these ancient spice plants for drinking and cooking. Their Web site is: www.quallaberryfarm.com. They begin harvesting fresh baby ginger in October and fresh turmeric in November.

For details call 389-4381. Funded by The Fred A. Moss Charity Trust.

Every Saturday morn-ing from 8 a.m.- 12 p.m., our town's Mountain Valley Farmers and Craft Market is actively open for business on the Hayesville square, so come on down. You'll instantly be drawn into our special small town's Norman Rockwell experience.

This week’s vender of the week is Judy Sabo who is a long-term participating vendor at our marketplace. Many locals know her as "Judy's Bonsai Trees." Each and every Saturday morn-ing now through the end of October, Sabo is available at Hayesville's downtown square to all local residents and other visitors traveling

to our area. You'll always find her selling a vast ar-ray of beautifully crafted home-grown bonsai trees, as well as a large variety of other unique flowering potted plants and hanging planters.

Originally hailing from Chicago, Sabo and her hus-band came to our Hayes-

ville area 22 years ago as full-time residents. She has been actively involved sell-ing her many items at our hometown farmers market for more than 20 years. In addition, she periodically has a fresh selection of sea-sonal fruits and vegetables to choose from. When you meet her for the first time,

you'll be instantly drawn to her big smile and sincere enthusiasm for her love of plants as well as our farmers market. She provides excel-lent customer service, going above and beyond for her customers. She even offers to meet her any customer by appointment, if necessary, for their convenience.

Sabo and all other vendors can be found every Saturday from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. at our local Mountain Valley Farm-ers and Craft Market located downtown on the Hayesville square.

As market coordinator, I hope to continue to build this local farmers market by reaching out to new vendors who may be interested in joining us. I encourage all those who may still wish to participate, to contact me. There is still plenty of time for new vendors or other community groups to sell or showcase your items on the square every week through the end of October. For de-tails call (863) 287-4482.

To paraphrase the An-cient Mariner, “water, water everywhere and not a drop to sink into my garden.” Our beautiful Lake Chatuge shimmers crystal blue re-freshment, but my mowed weeds just crunch when I walk on them — what a summer.

A neighbor who receives North Carolina stations on his television spoke of watch-ing rain models come across the state only to bypass Clay County. Was it something we said?

This drought does give us a chance to get back into wa-ter saving strategies, which is always a good thing.

Rain barrels are one option. These are large containers attached to the downspout of a gutter system using a diverter.

The most commonly avail-able models hold between 50 and 80 gallons of rainwater.

The container is placed on a raised platform, cinder blocks are a good choice, so that the spout at the bottom of the barrel can be accessed with either a hose or a water-ing can.

There are many directions for making one which is your cheapest option, but they can also be purchased for about $75 to $200. I think it would be necessary to have more than one of these to make an impact in your garden.

An interesting fact is it takes 27,154.25 gallons of water to cover an acre of land to a depth of one inch. If my reckoning is correct, that would mean about 20 gallons of water for a 4’X8’ bed.

Another way to improve

the efficiency of watering is to install an irrigation system. I watched my 12-year-old grandson water tomatoes at noon by spray-ing overhead using a hose while he checked messages on his phone.

Every part of that was wrong. Drip irrigation uses small diameter hoses with emitters placed in a prede-termined pattern to bring water to a plant’s root zone so that every ounce of water gets where it is needed with little or no evaporation or runoff. I highly recommend this system for raised beds, landscaping plants around the house and flower beds, but I have also seen it used in large-scale farming situa-tions. That would necessitate installing and removing each season. Soaker hoses are also useful. These are made of a porous material allow-ing water to leak or seep all along their length. I buried a soaker hose in one bed at the front of my house about

10 years ago and am grateful every year.

I was soaking some laun-dry in a mixture of Clorox 2 and wondered about using the leftover water for plants — what is called grey water. After some research how-ever, that would have been a disaster.

So what kind of water is okay? Any that does not con-tain fecal matter or products with salts, boron or chlorine bleach. Placing a pail in the shower to collect excess water is one example of us-able grey water. Washing machine water containing a natural detergent, water used to wash vegetables in the kitchen, and pet bath wa-ter are other examples. There are even systems that can be purchased when building or remodeling a home to collect grey water before it reaches a septic system.

It did rain last night — 1 whole inch. That is no excuse for wasting this precious resource.

One of my favorite T-shirt slogans is: “I wanted to grow my own food, but I couldn’t find bacon seeds.”

I got an E-mail from a reader wanting to know how to dispose of bacon grease. It should never, ever, be poured into any drain, including utility sinks or the toilet. Nor should it be put into the compost pile.

If you only have a little grease, you can pour it into a paper towel-lined bread wrapper or other plastic bag, tie it up and put it in the trash.

If you have quite a bit of grease and don’t want it sit-ting in the trash, refrigerate or freeze it in a disposable container, preferably with a tight fitting lid and put in the trash on pick-up day.

I read one suggestion for

combining it with peanut butter and seeds to make suet cakes for birds, but that raised some concerns among birders and environmental-ists regarding the nitrates in bacon.

Before nitrates and satu-rated fats were an issue, my parents kept an aluminum canister labeled “GREASE” in the refrigerator. Under the tight fitting lid was per-forated tray to strain out the solids. When I see those can-isters in antique stores and flea markets, I think of my mom’s German potato salad

and wilted lettuce salad and of course, my dad’s sunny-side-up eggs fried in bacon grease.

Folks who would not dream of throwing away bacon grease use it in deli-cious and creative ways: To give sautéed potatoes and other vegetables a slightly smoky flavor, add pork fla-vor to caramelized onions, rub on chicken breasts before roasting and spread on pizza crust before adding the top-pings. Spread it on grilled cheese sandwiches and use it to cook pancakes, French toast or waffles.

Collard, mustard and tur-nip greens get their southern credentials from a gener-ous dollop or two of bacon grease. And that crackle-crusted cornbread that gets dipped in the pot liquor?

It, too, is made with bacon grease.

CORN AND ZUCCHINI MELODY

Servings: 4In a large, deep skillet,

cook four slices of bacon over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Remove ba-con to paper towels. Drain grease, leaving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. Crumble ba-con.

Heat drippings over me-dium heat. Sauté 2 cups chopped zucchini, 1½ cups fresh or frozen corn and 1 small chopped onion until tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes. Season with pep-per. Spoon vegetables into a bowl; sprinkle with chopped bacon and ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

(Recipe from: www.allreci-pes.com)

Creamy mushroom pasta sauce: Melt a few spoon-fuls of bacon fat in a skil-let, then add thinly sliced mushrooms; cook until they release their liquid and are browned. Stir in a cupful of cream cheese and a handful of grated Parmigiano-Reg-giano cheese until melted. Add some snipped chives and toss with cooked pasta of your choice.

Sautéed cabbage: Melt a few spoonfuls of bacon fat in a hot skillet, add a chopped onion and cook until soft-ened, then add half a head of cabbage that has been cored and shredded. Cook until wilted and soft. Season with pepper.

Spicy Brussels sprouts: Melt a few spoonfuls of ba-con fat in a hot skillet. Add a pinch of crushed red pep-

per flakes, then add Brussels sprouts halved lengthwise and sauté until bright green and softened as desired. Toss with julienned kimchee and mint leaves. This also works well with green beans in-stead of Brussels sprouts.

(These ideas are from De-cember 2013 Bon Appetit magazine.)

And finally …To remove bacon grease

or other grease stains from clothing, rub a little dish soap into stains and let stand before washing. This will even remove old grease stains that have been washed and dried, according to: www.thekitchn.com’s Emma Christensen.

Deborah "Deby Jo" Ferguson is a sergeant at the Clay County De-tention Center. She is the daughter of Juanita Booe, of Hayesville and the late Joe Peen Booe. She married her school sweetheart on her 16th birthday, Larry Dee Ferguson who was also 16 at the time. They will celebrate their 46th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 18.

Larry has worked most of their married life doing electrical work and was the owner of Ferguson’s Energy Electric until he retired to care for their grandson.

They have one son, Larry Dee Tony Ferguson, married to Ann Rhodes Ferguson, two grandsons: Larry Aaron-Lee Ferguson, a junior at UNC Asheville and Jordan Dee Ferguson better known as “the man in charge.”

Deby Jo was born in Winston Salem, N.C. where she met Larry in the ninth grade. Larry is origi-nally from Aquone N.C. Loving the mountains, they moved to Hayes-ville nearly 30 years ago.

Deby finished high school with

her GED at Forsyth Tech and mi-nus one class, which is algebra she has two years of study at Tri Coun-ty Community College in criminal justice. “I loved the criminal justice classes, made great grades, guess it’s the rebel in me, at what point did someone go and put letters in a perfect system of numbers,” Deby explained.

With a passion for writing Deby Jo worked more than 10 years at the Clay County Progress and sister paper, Cherokee Scout as sports writ-er and photographer. “I’ve been blessed, got to fulfill most of my childhood dreams, always wanted to be a reporter, work with kids that drive you crazy within the juvenile system or be an airline stewardess. Two out of three isn’t bad. Not in the juvenile system but I think I made the better choice.”

Deby left her mark as sports writer when she got player of the week at Hayesville High School as the only one who made a play against Murphy one Friday night.

It cost her a sideline tackle by Coach McClure's son and a No. 33 Bulldog, resulting in a broken nose and an EMS ride to Murphy

Medical Center after regaining consciousness. “The doctors at the hospital were most attentive as each made their way to my room and asked if the Bulldogs were still ahead. Not all was lost I got the photo I wanted and ‘Player Of The Week’ in the Hayesville High School newspaper.”

This profession led Deby Jo to become an author with several books and awards from the his-torical society. She has written three

on mountain history, “Whispers Among the Laurels,” “Vietnam: A Soldier’s Cry For Honor,” “Captiv-ity in Satan’s Vineyard” and “A Walk Through Hell” interviews with WWII ex POWs of Bataan and Corregidor and others.

She begin her career in detention under the administration of now retired Sheriff Tony Woody. Then worked part-time for Joe Shook who was elected to the position of sheriff after Woody’s retirement.

Deby Jo also made her mark in Clay County history as Hayes-ville’s only female candidate to run for sheriff in 2009-10 on the Democratic Party against Shook. “It was an experience, one I don’t’ really plan on repeating but never the less one I have no regrets about doing. I learned a lot that year and was proud to stand up for what I believe.

“As a sergeant at the detention center I have grown in many ways, I believe one is innocent until prov-en guilty. It’s not my job to judge, but I have no issues about doing my job when and how it needs to be handled. I also believe that right is right and wrong is wrong no matter

who does it. As officers we must all remember by the grace of God the inmates who we have responsibil-ity for could be one of our children or family members so it is my goal to treat all inmates with the same respect that I insist they show me. I can honestly say that 90 percent of the time I’m not disappointed,” she said.

Deby’s educational background includes SWCC, Detention Officer Certification, Oleoresin Capsicum training and Electronic Impulse Devise. Wake County Community College: human trafficking, mo-tivating correctional staff, inmate tactics, notorious gangs, Asian gangs, inside bloods and crips; leadership and mentoring, mo-torcycle gangs, domestic violence, preventing and managing distur-bances, methamphetomine aware-ness, understanding addiction, games criminals play, strategies for redirecting inmate decep-tion, stress management, Bloods/ United Blood Nation; Norteno’s and Surenos; Hispanic Gangs; 1st Line Supervision. Guilford County Community College: child abuse and neglect.

The Clay County Republi-can Party will hold its regular monthly meeting beginning with refreshments at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18, at the Senior Center on Rit-ter Road. All are welcome to attend regardless of party affiliation.

Many people have sug-gested that a “Convention of States” be convened to consider various changes to our constitution — most notably syndicated talk show host and best-selling author Mark R. Levin. Come to this meeting and hear the facts on this idea from Mike Faulkenberry, the North Carolina State Chairman for this effort.

As a lover of liberty, Faulk-enberry supports the found-er’s original intent regarding the Constitution, including all of Article V. Faulkenberry is a Christian father of two

sons and a native North Carolinian. He is a retired Charlotte Mecklenburg Po-lice Captain and a small busi-ness owner. Faulkenberry is a firearms dealer, an NRA certified pistol instructor and teaches the N.C. Concealed Carry class. He also does background investigations for various federal, state and local entities as part of their hiring processes.

For details, call Roni Davis at 389-6890 or 389-4794.

The Clay County Demo-cratic Party hosted a meet and greet for two Demo-cratic candidates running for offices this year. Deborah Ross is campaigning for the United States Senate seat now occupied by Republican Richard Burr and Jane Hipps is campaigning for the State Senate District 50 seat.

The meeting was held at the Democratic Party head-quarters, located just off the main square in downtown Hayesville, on Monday, Aug. 1. Democrats from all seven precincts in Clay County attended to hear the candi-dates and discuss issues of concern.

Ross was born in a small town in North Carolina, at-tended public schools and obtained her law degree

from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Af-ter several years practicing civic rights law and teach-

ing at Duke University, she entered public service by serving as a state legislator from 2003-2013.

Throughout her career, she has stressed her commitment to work for a government that benefits all Americans and not just the privileged few and the special inter-ests.

She supports Social Se-curity and Medicare for the needs of the elderly and not-ed that her opponent Repub-lican Richard Burr has voted to cut Social Security benefits and even co-authored a bill to privatize Medicare so that private insurance companies would make more profits. He also accepted $1 million from the same insurance companies that would profit.

Ross is also a firm supporter of a strong and efficient military to protect Ameri-cans from possible foreign aggression.

Hipps emphasized her career as a teacher in North Carolina's public schools. She wants to rebuild North Carolina's reputation as a state where a quality educa-tion is provided by qualified teachers earning competi-tive pay.

She opposes taking tax-payer money from our pub-lic schools and providing that money in the form of vouchers to private schools which are not accountable. Both Hipps and Ross are greatly concerned about the crushing debt so many college students are bur-

dened with because of the loans they now need to get through school.

Both candidates would like to see more good-paying jobs in our western counties and would support funding for a major national effort to repair our infrastructure, dangerous bridges, unsafe tunnels, crumbling roads, old water and sewer lines. Attendees also expressed the need for accessible, quality health care and some better controls on the high cost of prescription drugs.

The need to respect our veterans and our Gold Star families was supported by everyone at the meeting. Charles Penland, Chair of the CCDP, thanked everyone for their participation.

Blairsville, Ga. leaders of Old Unicoi Trail Chap-ter 3117, Georgia National Society Daughters of the American Revolution kicked off a new chapter this year by participating in the Georgia State Society’s annual work-shop.

Three hundred forty-five daughters and guests at-tended the workshop held at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga. Of-ficers received updates on chapter performance expec-tations, genealogy research, DAR committee work and DAR Schools and DAR sup-ported schools.

Among others, schools include Tamassee in nearby Tamassee S.C., Kate Duncan Smith School in Grant Ala. and Berry College in Rome, Ga.

Representing Old Unicoi Trail Chapter were recording

secretary Sharon Griffith, of Morganton, Ga.; treasurer Sandie Harbuck, of Blairs-ville; librarian Liz Salvatore, of Murphy; and correspond-ing secretary Ann Atchison, of Young Harris.

Georgia State Regent Joyce Ball Patton, of Lake Spivey, Ga., led the workshop.

The first state goal this year is to strengthen chap-ters by increasing Georgia’s membership through genea-logical research assistance to chapters.

Old Unicoi Trail has 14 prospective members whose lineage is being researched by registrar Mary Ann, Fos-ter of Blairsville.

The second goal is to con-tinue the restoration of Geor-gia’s Meadow Garden in Au-gusta Ga. The Georgia State Society owns and maintains Meadow Garden, known as the historic home of George Walton, a Georgian and the youngest man to sign the Declaration of Indepen-dence. Guided tours are

available five days a week. The home features 18th and 19th Century American and English furnishings, porce-lains, paintings and primi-tive household equipment.

The home is located at 1320 Independence Drive, Augusta, Ga. The phone is (706) 724-4174. The home is open from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesdays–Saturdays.

The last tour begins at 3 p.m. The third goal of the

state society is to digitize proceedings of the Georgia State Society.

At i ts annual picnic Wednesday, Aug. 17, Old Unicoi Trail Chapter will kick off a year-long celebration of the 20th anniversary of its founding Aug. 17, 1997.

Charter and organizing members will be recog-nized.

The DAR was founded in 1890 to promote historic

preservation, education and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American inde-pendence during the Revo-lutionary War.

Members of Old Unicoi Trail come primarily from Clay and Cherokee counties and Union, Towns and Fan-nin counties in Georgia.

The next regular meeting of the Old Unicoi Trail Chap-ter is at 10:30 a.m., Saturday,

Sept. 10 at Mountain Presby-terian Church, 3831 Hwy 76, Blairsville, Ga. The speaker will be Dr. Lee March of Young Harris College who will speak on the impact of the Vietnam War on United States policy.

If you are a prospective Daughters of the American Revolution chapter member and would like to attend as a guest, e-mail: [email protected].

Georgia State Society’s workshop welcomes locals

There is no simple or easy explanation on how to begin researching military records. Your research path will de-pend on aspects such as: what branch of service your ancestor was in, which con-flict, what dates, whether regular Army or a volunteer unit, whether your ancestor was an officer or enlisted personnel and whether there was a pension application.

The approach to research-ing records of enlisted men and women, officers and for the different branches of the military is described in an article – An Overview of Records at the National Archives Relating to Military Service. You can read this ar-ticle at: www.archives.gov.

When researching vol-unteers who served in the military for a particular war, you should start with the compiled military service records. You can also see many of these records online at: www.fold3.com.

Since the War Department did not compile military service records for those who served in the regular Army, start your research with:

• Enlisted men: Regular Army Enlistment Papers, 1798-1894.

• Officers: Francis B. Heit-man's Historical Register.

• Dictionary of the Unites

States Army, From Its Or-ganization, September 29, 1789, to March 2, 1903, two volumes.

Many of the bounty land application files relating to Revolutionary War and War of 1812 service have been combined with the pension files.

There is also a series of unindexed bounty land war-rant applications based on service between 1812 and 1855, which includes disap-proved applications based on Revolutionary War ser-vice. This series is arranged alphabetically by name of veteran.

The National Archives holds Federal military ser-vice records in two reposi-tories: Revolutionary War to 1912 is housed in the Na-tional Archives Building in Washington, D.C. If you are looking for service records from World War I to present then you will have to send your research query to the National Military Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Miss.

To obtain copies of recent

military service records most veterans and their next-of-kin can obtain free copies of their DD Form 214 and other military and medical records several ways. You can use the eVetRecs system to create your request: www.archives.gov/veterans/military-ser-vice-records.

You can learn more about requesting military service records at: www.archives.gov/veterans/military-ser-vice-records/other-request-methods.

As mentioned previously older military personnel records are on file at the Na-tional Archives and Records Administration, Old Military and Civil Records Branch, Washington, D.C. 20408.

You can order service re-cords and pension claim files for service from the

American Revolution to pre-World War I and bounty-land warrant applications for Federal military service before 1856, online at: www.tinyurl.com/39xozh

You can order service re-cords and pension claims and bounty-land warrant applications via the mail using NATF Form 85/86. These forms are available at: www.archives.gov/contact/inquire-form.

If you want to learn how to research your family history, be sure to sign up for one of my genealogy courses I am offering at Tri-County Community College. The list of those courses is posted on my Family Roots and Branches blog at: www.fam-ily-genealogy.blogspot.com. You can call Lisa Long, (828) 835-4241 at TCCC Con Ed

ily historian and genealogy instructor/lecturer.

Fans of The Band Kelley may enjoy another oppor-tunity to attend free per-formances by the award-winning sibling group. Not only will there be a free community concert and bar-becue for the community at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 14, the band will lead worship for the 9 a.m. Sunday services at Hickory Stand United Meth-odist Church and for the 11 a.m. services at Oak Forest United Methodist Church on Sunday, Aug. 14, as well.

A free pig pickin’ with all the fixin’s will be open to the community followed by a special concert by The Band Kelley with Rob Tiger as the opening act.

Oak Forest UMC will host

the afternoon event at 68 Wonderview Drive, which is located on Hinton Center Road. Attendees are encour-aged to bring a chair and stay awhile, but nothing else is needed.

Pastor Bryan Wilson, lead pastor of both churches, contacted the band when he developed his sermon series based on Mumford and Sons songs. Wilson’s churches decided to bring the band to their services for four Sundays and to host free concerts for local residents to enjoy, along with free food. Wilson said the Bible is full of references to music and food so the idea is a natural way to reach out to the com-munity. Everyone, regardless of church affiliation, is in-vited to the church services, as well as the barbecue and

concert. Also known as The Band

of Kelleys, the family from Appling, Ga., is described as a novelty band with an excel-lent combination of vocal prowess and instrumental virtuosity. The group formed after oldest brother, 23-year-old Timothy Kelley, began to teach his four younger siblings to play fiddle.

Now the group uses a variety of instruments from guitar and fiddle to mando-lin and bass to play blue-grass, gospel and traditional country music which shows their love for God, family and country.

The band has won several talent competitions, both as a group and individually. Lead vocalist and mandolin player, 13-year-old Victoria Kelley has taken home first

place awards for her perfor-mances while sixteen year old Bethany Kelley has won several fiddle champion-ships.

She also plays banjo and sings with the group. Ten year old Daniel Kelley has

placed in talent competi-tions for playing a stand-up bass as tall as he is. Oldest brother, Timothy Kelley, still teaches music as well as traveling with his younger siblings to perform.

All events are free for

everyone. Hickory Stand UMC is at 16 Hickory Stand Lane in Brasstown and Oak Forest UMC is at 990 Oak Forest Road in Hayesville. Visit: www.oakforestchurch.org or either church's Face-book page.

Kelley concerts and barbecue on tap

The Band Kelley will be performing at Hickory Stand and Oak Forest United Methodist Churches, Sunday, Aug. 14. The community is invited to the free event which includes a barbecue.

Auditions for the Peacock’s fall thriller, “Dial M for Murder” will be held from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Saturdays, Aug. 20 and 27 and from 6-8 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, Aug. 22-23.

Rehearsals will begin Tuesday, Sept. 6 and performance dates are Fridays-Sundays, Oct. 14-16 and 21-23.

This is the tingling play which was turned into the classic 1954 Hitchcock film starring Ray Milland, Grace Kelly and Robert Cum-mings about a former tennis pro who married Margot for her money and who now plans to murder her for the same reason — add to that blackmail, a former boyfriend of the wife, a murder and you have the perfect offering for

whodunit fans. Needed are four men and one woman and

all are lead roles. Tony Wendice, tennis pro and the man

who married for and will kill for money; Max Halliday, a former boyfriend of Tony’s wife, Margot, who is visiting and dragged unknowingly into the plot; Captain Lesgate, also known as Swann, an old college chum of Tony’s with a past that makes him easy prey; inspector Hubbard, the detective, assigned to investigate the murder; Margot, a wealthy woman who married Tony for love and has no idea her husband is planning to kill her.

Call the box office for details at 389-2787 or to arrange an audition outside this schedule. Scripts are available in the office weekdays from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. for checkout with a $5 refundable deposit.

It’s time to make your reservations to see “Doublewide, Texas,” the over-the-top comedy opening Friday, Aug. 12 at the Peacock Performing Arts Center in Hayesville. Why? Because it promises laughter aplenty provided by a strong cast.

Joveeta Crumpler, BJ Foster, has had it up to here, having been passed over again for a promotion in Tugaloo — this time to heart-breaker, Lomax Tanner, Harry Baughn. On top of this, she has an ongoing battle keeping her feisty mother, Caprice, Karen Alley, out of the local bar and worries that

her good-ol’-boy brother, Baby Crum-pler, Michael Saturno, is taking his participation in a womanless beauty pageant way too seriously. Joveeta’s big-hearted best friend, Georgia Dean Rudd, Janice Minette, is struggling to keep her diner and finances afloat, but she just can’t stop taking in every stray possum and armadillo — including Lark, Raven Black, a homeless stranger. Big Ethel Satterwhite, Suzanne West, who’s nobody’s fool, is continually frus-trated by her mule-headed husband, O.C., who shows far more affection for his BarcaLounger than he does for her. And all are plagued by Haywood Sloggett, Tom Payne, the curmudgeon from across the road, who loathes their

trailer-trash ways. When they are in-formed that Tugaloo is about to annex them against their wishes, rebellion unites all these friends and enemies against the big guys.

“Doublewide, Texas” plays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Aug. 12–13 and Aug. 19-20, at 2:30 p.m. Sundays, Aug. 14 and 21 at the Peacock Perform-ing Arts Center, 301 Church Street, Hayesville.

Seating is reserved and tickets are on sale now: $18 adults, $9 students; group discounts available. Visit the box office weekdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or call 389-2787 for details, visit: www.peacockplayhouse.org or stop by Ti-ger’s Mercantile on the square.

Mongo Gone Fishin' 2016

RealParent™ Maxine wor-ried about her humanoid output; in long past Rudy Valley, mortal cave mate Bev worried, too: if Mongo's chip implant wasn't updated soon, it would automatically switch off, leaving only his birth brain created from re-covered Cro-Magnon DNA by RealPeople™ Inc. Time travel would be impossible — he would be stranded.

Papa, bearded, waders knee deep in the moving water, glanced at Mongo's

wrist action with the fly rod and grinned,

"Here, let me show you again. Just flick your wrist, easy does it."

There's a fine line between fly fishing and standing hip deep in the water like an idiot: Hemingway was glad for the company and contemplated a new fishing

story about this lumber-ing giant who smelled like guano and never stopped smiling.

Shamble golf played at Chatuge Shores

By Desna Wallin Jarrett

Guest writer

So what is shamble golf? According to golf about.com, a shamble is a type of golf tournament format in which a team of golfers selects the one best drive among them after teeing off, then all four play their own golf balls from that position into the hole. You can think of a shamble as a scramble of the tee and then regular stroke play into the hole.” The format was a different one than usu-ally played and provided all players with the opportunity to hit their second shot from a long-ball tee shot. The scor-ing was a two best balls for the foursome. Lots of fun for all and everyone had a chance to score well.

The winning shamble four-somes were:

• First place: Lorene Av-ery, Cathy Clement, Pat See-ley and Kathy Stewart with a 92 net.

• Second place: Mary An-derson, Barb Boswell, Star Glock and Vickie Hunt with a 100 net score.

• Third place: Susan Pal-mich, blind draw, Sandy Jersey, Opal Rose and Nancy Steck with 104 net.

Following play, members enjoyed the regular first Tuesday luncheon and gen-eral meeting. The Ace of the Month award was an-nounced with Kathy Stewart winning for low gross and

Nancy Steck for low net. Members were also re-

minded that August is Food Pantry Month. Members may bring contributions of non-perishable food items, as well as soap, shampoo, dia-pers and similar items and place them in the barrel at the front of the pro shop.

Those who would rather write a check are welcome to do so and turn it in to Judy Schmitt or Jersey. Items will be distributed to food pantries in Clay, Towns and Cherokee counties.

Tri County Racetrack opened its gates on Friday, Aug. 5 for “Fan Apprecia-tion Night.” Racing fans were treated to a discounted ticket price as well as an autograph session featuring their favorite drivers. Track staff also gave away several prizes to show appreciation to the fans.

As part of the celebration, racing kicked off with the annual kid’s bicycle race before the cars hit the track. Once the people-powered machines exited the clay oval, the heavy hitters of the Street Stock division lined up for their feature event. Defending champion Drew Bowers and Lynn Burch-field made up the front row. When the green flag flew, the two battled side by side through turns one and two and drag-raced down the backstretch before Burch-field got the advantage in turn three to claim the top spot. Bowers fell in behind the leader but wasn’t content with second place. The pair battled each other through lap traffic and Burchfield had a scary moment when he made contact with the slower car of Brayden Rob-erts. The contact was minor and Burchfield’s car was able to continue on but the incident did allow Bowers to mount a challenge for

the lead. With laps winding down, Bowers went into turn one a little deeper than usual which caused his No. 05 car to get loose in turn two. Bow-ers was able to keep the car from spinning but couldn’t keep his momentum and fell back through the field. Burchfield was first under the checkered flag with Ty Crisp in second and Shannon Smith in third. Smith’s car failed post race inspection which moved Marlin Gunter into the third spot.

Kenny Taylor put his No. 5 in the lead on lap one of the Modified Sportsman race and never looked back. The battle for second was a great one with four cars jockeying for the position. Jim Twiggs, Greg Sudderth, Charles Devine Jr. and Danny Mc-Cloud were all within a half second of each other for

several laps. The action was hot and heavy with a bit of blocking and a bit of rubbing before things settled down and the wheel-men decided who should be where. Taylor got the win with Devine Jr. claiming second and Greg Sudderth crossing the stripe in third.

Two titans from the Crate Late Model division lined up on the front row for their feature event. Jason Deal won the pole with the quick-est qualifying lap but Adam Smith’s second starting spot put him in the preferred line. That line paid off on the start as Smith powered around the outside of Deal in the middle of turns one and two. Deal then jumped up in the outside line to prevent others from passing him. With Deal hot on his heals, Smith con-tinued to run smooth laps,

limiting Deal’s opportuni-ties to pounce. Meanwhile, Anthony Rhymer and his No. 2 broke out of the pack and made it a three-way battle for the lead. Each time Deal would make a move on Smith, Rhymer would look to the outside of Deal. With no mirrors allowed in dirt cars, Smith had to go by feel and sound to know which line the second and third place cars were in. He was able to do so masterfully and won the event. Deal held on to second and Rhymer fin-ished a career best, third.

The Limited Late Model race stole the show for the evening. Charlie Parker started from the pole with Kip Cochran on the outside. Parker has been dominant this season but Cochran had an advantage. He had a hand in building Parker’s

car. When the green flag flew, Cochran rode the cushion with Parker staying even on the low side. Cochran was able to clear Parker on the front-stretch to take the lead. Parker continued to work the middle groove, getting the nose of his car to Cochran’s door, but Cochran would pull away in the straits. As the two battled, Danny Ledford closed to within a car-length and was ready to capitalize on a mistake by the leaders. Cochran continued to lead but Parker kept chip-ping away.

The two made contact several times but not enough to cause major damage or slow the pace. With just a handful of laps to go, Parker was finally able to complete the pass off of turn number four and slid up in front of Cochran. The field screamed

under the checkered flag with Parker in first, Cochran in second and Ledford in third.

Shawn Chastain’s No. X15 led the Super Late Models to the green and quickly moved in front of Danny Ledford’s No.4 to secure the top spot. Ledford remained close however, forcing Chastain to drive hard. Halfway through the main event, Chastain’s car slowed on the back-stretch with mechanical is-sues. Ledford blew past Chastain to take the lead. Murphy’s Jamie Oliver then moved into role of predator as he pursued Ledford. Oli-ver got to Ledford’s bumper as they worked through slower traffic but Ledford was able to hold off the “Murphy Bulldog.” Ledford got the win with Oliver set-tling for second and George Mashburn finished third. It was the Warne natives first Super Late Model win of the season.

In other action, Jamey Sanouke won the Pony race and Chris Hedden claimed his second win in the Rookie 602 class.

The track will host it’s an-nual “Back to School Nickel Night” on Friday, Aug.12. Students will be turned loose on the track which will be covered with 10,000 nick-els. Participants will get to keep the money they collect to help with cost of school supplies.

Well, the Olympics are underway in Rio. Once again the finest athletes the world has to offer have gathered to compete for the title of “Best in the World.”

For the first time in his-tory the Olympics are be-ing held in South America. Brazil, and more specifically Rio, won the right to be in the spotlight this summer. Unfortunately, the light is exposing some major issues that should have been ad-dressed.

One problem was pretty well known even without light due to the sense of smell.

Apparently the task of wrangling in human waste is too much for Rio officials to tackle. Last week, a satel-lite image of raw sewage pouring out into the sea shocked most people, myself included.

In the 1860s, a French-man by the name of John Louis Mouras invented what

would eventually evolve into the septic tank. That gives Rio roughly 150 years to figure out how to dig a hole, throw a tank in the ground, hook some PVC to it and cover that bad boy up.

Instead, in the villages just outside of Rio, streams of sewage and disease run through the paths. This of course leads to major medi-cal problems for the villag-ers. Not to mention the issue of smell.

However, Brazil decid-ed money would be better spent on multi-million dollar sporting facilities. Instead of investing in the health

of their countrymen, they invested in three weeks of sporting contests. The latest estimate is that Brazil has spent more than seven bil-lion dollars on the Olympics. That’s “billion” with a “b.”

Then, for their opening ceremony, the Brazilians and the Olympic committee brains decided to lecture the world on global warming.

Look, this is not a column about global warming and it’s effects or lack thereof. This is a column about com-mon sense.

Your people are wading through filth, your sewage is pouring out into the sea and

you have the nerve to tell the rest of us we are ruining the planet?

A man who lives in a glass house shouldn’t throw rocks and a man standing in “peo-ple mud” shouldn’t lecture me on being healthy.

Imagine a man goes to the doctor. The doctor evalu-ates the man and says “Sir, you have cancer and if you don’t take action it will kill you within a year.” The man looks at the doctor and says “But I’m more worried about a meteor killing me.”

Brazil is in a bad situation now and instead of address-ing it, it’s using resources to

build a platform on which it can stand and lecture us about a meteor that might or might not be heading towards earth.

My point, Brazil, is this: If you don’t get the diseases contained, you won’t be around for global warming death.

And to the I.O.C, before you award the next Olym-pic games, the absolute first thing you should check is if the city has a toilet that flush-es and takes the contents to a place unseen. Then, a good time will be had by all.

Nancy Outlaw, Ridges La-dies Golf Association Presi-dent and Jackie Bell, Ridges Pro Shop Manager, have been diligently working all spring and summer setting up and organizing weekly games and events for the 30 plus members of The Ridges Country Club Ladies Golf Association.

On Thursday, Aug. 4, at the after-golf luncheon the ladies showed their appre-ciation by presenting Out-law and Bell with a framed, Ridges Flag bearing all the members signatures.

Both ladies were truly moved by the gesture and

completely surprised. The task of collecting all the sig-

natures was given to Diana Azor and she dutifully went

out contacting the mem-bers and getting the flags

signed. “It took a little time to get

everyone to sign, but all of our members eagerly came through meeting me all over town to get this done”, said Azor.

It was important to show appreciation to Outlaw and Bell as they have worked tirelessly during the season to set up fun, competitive events that all levels of golf-ers can enjoy.

The Ridges Ladies Golf Association is open to all interested lady golfers in the area.

The group meets, plays and has lunch every Thurs-day at 9 a.m.

Pickleball: not just a game for parents and grandparents

By Sally c Brock Guest writer

Members of Mountain Lakes Pickleball are enjoying a fun summer on the courts with play each morning and many afternoons. In addition to those players who participate on a regular basis, summer has brought new faces to the courts as visitors to the area have joined in also.

Several young players have joined their parents and grandparents during summer vacation to compete on the pickleball courts in multi-generational play.

Although pickleball is often considered

an activity for retirees, it is in fact an excit-ing sport enjoyed by all ages. Many schools teach pickleball as part of their physical education programs. Local and national pickleball tournaments feature players in all age divisions.

Area groups are also seeing more younger players participate and have been particu-larly pleased to have several high school and college age players join play during summer breaks.

Mountain Lakes welcomes all new players to participate at the Clay County Recreation Park. Instructional clinics are held each Tues-day from 10-11 a.m. at the outdoor courts.

The Hayesvi l le High School volleyball program along with coach Tammy Dills would like to congratu-late Danny and Susan Guth-rie for winning the $500 Visa gift card raffle. Abbie Combs, daughter of Bobbie Lynn Jones, sold the lucky ticket. After receiving the Visa card, the Gutheries insisted on giving the card back to the volleyball program.

“It was very humbling to accept the winnings back,”

said Dills. The team would like to

thank everyone who bought tickets or donated money to help support the program.

Dills also thanked local businesses saying “A huge ‘thank you’ goes to Jacky Jones Ford; Nantahala Bank; Julie Ledford D.D.S.; Jacky Jones Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Robert C. Peck D.C. who donated $100 each so all of our ticket sales would be total profit.

What is sexual violence? Sexual violence is any

type of unwanted sexual contact.

This can include words and actions of a sexual na-ture against a person’s will and without their consent.

Reasons someone might not consent include fear, age, illness, disability and/or influence of alcohol or other drugs.

Remember the basics:• Consent is giving per-

mission for something to happen; agreeing to do something.

• Without consent means not giving permission for something to happen. Not agreeing to do something.

People who sexually abuse target someone they know: a friend, classmate, neighbor, coworker or rela-tive.

Sexual violence affects people of all genders, ages, races, religions, incomes, abilities, professions, ethnic-ity and sexual orientations.

Sexual assault facts that will astonish us and bring about a change are:

• Among adult victims of rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an inti-mate partner, 22 percent of women and 15 percent of men first experienced some form of partner violence be-tween 11 and 17 years.

• One in three women in the United States has expe-rienced rape or attempted rape some time in their lives. From Black et al., 2011.

• One in 71 men has ex-perienced rape or attempted rape. From Black et al., 2011.

• Approximately nine percent of high school stu-dents report being hit, slapped or physically hurt on purpose by a boyfriend or girlfriend.

From National Center for

Injury Prevention and Con-trol Division of Violence Prevention.

A person may use force, threats, manipulation or co-ercion to commit sexual vio-lence and anyone can expe-rience sexual violence, including children, teens, adults and elders.

Those who sexually abuse can be acquaintances, fam-ily members, trusted indi-viduals or strangers.

Teen dating violence is defined as the physical, sex-ual, psychological or emo-tional violence within a dat-ing relationship, including stalking. It can occur in per-son or electronically and might occur between a cur-rent or former dating part-ner. Several different words are used to describe teen dating violence.

Below are just a few:• Relationship abuse.• Intimate partner vio-

lence.• Relationship violence.• Dating abuse.• Domestic abuse.• Domestic violence.Teens often think some

behaviors, like teasing and name calling, are a normal part of a relationship. Teens receive messages about how to behave in relationships from peers, adults in their lives and the media.

All too often these exam-ples suggest that violence in a relationship is normal, but

violence is never accept-able.

Some factors that increase the risk for harming a dat-ing partner include:

• Belief that dating vio-lence is acceptable.

• Depression, anxiety and other trauma symptoms.

• Aggression toward peers and other aggressive behavior.

• Substance use.• Early sexual activity

and having multiple sexual partners.

• Having a friend in-volved in dating violence.

• Conflict with partner.• Witnessing or experi-

encing violence in the home.

Teen dating violence is a type of intimate partner vio-lence. It occurs between two people in a close relation-ship. The nature of dating violence can be physical, emotional or sexual.

Physical occurs when a partner is pinched, hit, shoved, slapped, punched or kicked.

Psychological-emotional means threatening a partner or harming his or her sense of self-worth. Examples in-clude name calling, sham-ing, bullying, embarrassing on purpose or keeping him/her away from friends and family.

Sexual is forcing a partner to engage in a sex act when he or she does not or cannot

consent. This can be physi-cal or nonphysical, like threatening to spread ru-mors if a partner refuses to have sex.

Stalking refers to a pat-tern of harassing or threat-ening tactics that are un-wanted and cause fear in the victim.

Don’t’ forget dating vio-lence can take place in per-son or electronically, such as repeated texting or posting sexual pictures of a partner online.

Youth who experience dating violence are more likely to experience the fol-lowing:

• Symptoms of depres-sion and anxiety.

• Engagement in un-healthy behaviors, such as tobacco and drug use and alcohol involvement in an-tisocial behaviors

• Thoughts about sui-cide.

• Additionally, youth who are victims of dating violence in high school are at higher risk for victimiza-tion during college.

Communicating with your partner, managing un-comfortable emotions like anger and jealousy and treating others with respect are a few ways to keep rela-tionships healthy and non-violent.

Dating violence can be prevented when teens, fam-ilies, organizations and

communities work together to implement effective pre-vention strategies such as talking with your teen about developing healthy, respect-ful relationships before they start dating. The Centers for Disease Control has a train-ing video series for educa-tors and youth-serving or-ganizations titled “Dating

Matters: Understanding Teen Dating Violence Pre-vention.” Other programs are available to prevent dat-ing violence through chang-es to the school environ-ment or training influential adults, like parents, caregiv-ers and coaches, to work with youth to prevent dat-ing violence.
