The Crossville Quilts of Valor (QOV) group hon-ored Jesse Bowman on Jul. 23, presenting him with a handmade quilt for his service in the military to this country. Melissa Wesley and Doris Smith, co-leaders of the Crossville QOV, were thrilled to have the opportunity to thank him for his service. Doris Smith said, “The first time I spoke to Deb-ra Bowman, I could hear

the pride in her voice as she talked about her son, Jesse, and his military career. She had read an article in her local paper about one of our recent presentations and want-ed to know if she could get a quilt for Jesse.”Jesse Bowman has served in the military a total of 14 years. Four years he was active Army while the last 10 he has served in the Ten-nessee National Guard. He was deployed for two 12-month tours in Iraq and a 10-month tour in Afghanistan. He

earned a Bronze Star in Afghanistan for his dis-tinguished service as the Assistant Convoy Commander and also received a Meritorious Service Medal for his service as the Lead Vehi-cle Commander in Iraq. In all three deployments, Bowman was in a trans-portation company haul-ing supplies, including ammunition, food fuel, and repair parts. He has six years until he retires. Smith continued, “’He is definitely eligible to receive one,’ I told [his mother] and the request

process began. I am so happy we were able to follow through. I could see the pride of serving his country in his eyes and also his mother’s. What an honorable young man.” Melissa Wesley, Cross-ville QOV co-leader, said, “He is an Iraq vet-eran, a young man who is so down to earth and was very appreciative and very humble to be recognized for his ser-

The Monterey Food Bank has found a new home in the Cate-Gil Of-fice Building on Craw-ford Ave. neighbor-ing the Standing Stone Care and Rehabilitation Center. Monterey Food Bank volunteers are working diligently to get

everything organized and maintained, follow-ing state standards and requirements. The food bank was for-merly housed in the Monterey Fire Hall sharing the space with the fire department. It was a nice space for the Monterey Food Bank, but the fire department really needed the space to itself. After the Ice

Storm of 2015 hit, shar-ing the building proved futile when emergency services were desper-ately needed and there wasn’t enough space to accommodate both services. After several city board discussions, it was decided to lease the space in the Cate-Gil Building for $1 per year to move the Monterey Food Bank operations.

The Monterey Branch Library (MBL) made a splash with the Back to School Bash on Jul. 25 inviting area children

and youth to come and soak up a little extra summer fun. The free, day-long event offered a huge water slide, ice cream and school supply items to kick off the new school year. To accom-modate the littlest Back

to School bashers, a slip and slide was set up and there was no shortage of puddle jumping avail-able. “We have had so many children come out with us today,” beamed Doylene Farley, MBL manager. “It has been so fun and the children were all so good!”Droves of children scrambled up the stairs and tumbled down the slippery slope to the cool pool below. Having such a good time, little squeals and screams

(StatePoint) When the school year begins, students need to quickly get back into the swing of things. Staying organized from day one can ease the transition.While every individual needs to tweak his or her routine to best suit personality quirks and study habits, here are a few tried-and-true orga-nization tricks that will work for most anyone:Get ScheduledWhile the word “bed-time” may have no meaning on summer vacation, during the school year, it’s vital. A regular sleep schedule can mean better quality sleep and higher alert-ness at school. Like-wise, a morning routine can help students focus and prep for the day.Family members should share their schedules with each other to en-sure everyone gets to practice, club meetings and other activities on time. Install a house-hold calendar or bulletin board in a central loca-tion to ensure everyone

stays in the know.Stomp out ClutterLockers and backpacks need to stay organized. Whether notebooks, binders and textbooks are arranged by se-quence of the day, sub-ject or color isn’t im-portant so long as the system works for you. To create more storage space in your locker, add durable, stackable locker shelving.For on-the-go book haul-ing, look for a backpack such as the Five Star Ex-pandable Backpack that features two expanding compartments providing additional space, along with protected storage for laptops.Its patented zipper al-lows you to quickly get inside your backpack while it’s hanging in your locker. Ergonomic patent-pending straps distribute weight to comfortably support a heavy load.To cheer up your locker with a boost of color and add a place for quick re-minders and mementos, try the Five Star Mag-

netic Mirror + Push Pin Board. Its slam-resistant magnets will keep it affixed to the inside door of your locker. There isn’t much time be-tween classes, so a mirror is a welcome locker feature when there isn’t time for the bathroom.Organizational tools such as these can keep your ducks in a row all year long. Also remember to

set time aside weekly to clean out your locker and backpack, throwing out candy wrappers and crumpled notes.Personal OrganizationStudents need to be able to keep more be-longings than ever with them throughout the day -- traditional school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics. A binder that can contain it all will give students a chance to make sure their lives are in order, not just a class at a time. For a secure method of carrying supplies, look for the Trapper Keeper Zipper binder, with pockets and dividers to keep items organized, and the Five Star Zip-per Binder + Expansion Pocket, which features storage for textbooks and a tablet, and has an adjustable strap that al-lows you to carry the binder messenger style or on your back.At home, it’s easy to get distracted from impor-tant tasks like studying and homework. Create a dedicated work space away from televisions and other distractions. Make sure the area is comfortable, well-lit and conducive to great work.More study tools and tips can be found at www.Mead.com.The right tools and hab-its can empower stu-dents for a successful and organized school year.

The July City Meet-ing was called to order by Mayor Bill Wiggins, III, on July 6. A quorum was present with Alder-men Dale Welch, Johnny Looper, Mark Farley, Amy Clark and Nathan Walker in attendance. After the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance, the June 1 and June 22 meeting minutes were approved and the board moved to consider the bills and voted to pay them as listed. The following ordinanc-es were read: 2ND READING OF ORDINANCE #15-527 – AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE MONTEREY ZONING REGULATIONS PER-TAINING TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDEN-TIAL DEVELEOP-MENT: Dale Welch made a motion and was sec-onded by Johnny Looper to pass the 2nd Reading of Ordinance #15-527.

TEREY, TENNESSEE, ADOPTING A BUD-GET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2015 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2016: Johnny Looper made a motion and was seconded by Dale Welch to pass the 1st Reading of Ordinance #15-526. Johnny Looper stated, “Each of you should have a sheet that tells what we intend to put in the bud-get. The very first one is a two (2%) percent cost of living increase across the board for each em-ployee. The next one is a $1.00 an hour increase for Larry Vaughn as the driver of the sanitation truck. Ella Dishman a $2.00 an hour increase for city recorder munici-pal clerk certification that she has gotten and she has to pass some pretty hard tests to get this cer-tification. Chucky Speck is to be moved from the street department to the garage as a mechanic with an increase of $1.76 per hour. Here is one that you all are going to have to tell me if you want to leave it in or not, that is the alderman pay to $1,200 a year and $25.00 per meeting for the com-mittee. I would like to

find out how you all feel and we need to leave it in there or change it.” Amy Clark responded, “I am fine with it as it is, but if you increase it I don’t think the $25 per meeting every time you have a committee meeting or special called meeting is necessary.” Johnny Looper inquired, “So, you do feel that the increase to $1,200 a year is a line item?” Clark an-swered, “I am fine with it as is, but if you do in-crease it, I would say in-crease it only to that and not the $25 per meet-ing.” Nathan Walker said, “A problem that I have with increasing the alderman pay, is if you have a city employee or the fire chief, our fire chief has worked with the city here for 30 some odd years and he puts in a lot of hours and he is not paid anything, am I correct?” Ella Dishman stated that the fire department vol-unteers get paid around $11,000 or $12,000 a year. Upon further inves-tigation, Dishman found that fire department vol-unteers receive $14,096 per year. Dale Welch inquired whether an in-crease in pay be for the next board rather than the present board. Amy Clark stated, “If there is

any money in the budget for that, I wouldn’t be opposed to dispersing it to others that has worked harder. I say we turn that in to the fire chief’s bo-nus,” before suggesting to table that line for fur-ther discussion. “If we could table that one line and then talk about those volunteers that are work-ing for our city and have not received recognition and then place that mon-ey to be divided among them. So, we will elimi-nate that line item.” Mayor Wiggins remind-ed the board there was already a motion and a second to approve the budget as submitted. “When you get through with your summation we will have to do amend-ments to that motion to exclude these items so we can get back to voting on the original motion,” said Wiggins. Johnny Looper brought up the discussion about taking the MHS scholarships out of the budget be-cause the ladies that got the scholarships last time had so many that they re-ally didn’t need it. “My ideal is that if we take [the scholarships] out we could add that in as a bonus to the fire chief,” said Looper. Amy Clark advocated for MHS hav-ing the scholarships and

said, “But it should be dispersed more wisely for those that don’t re-ceive as much as others. I think that it needs to stay in.” To which Mark Far-ley agreed. Clark contin-ued, “I think we should just be more selective in who receives them.” Mayor Wiggins made a suggestion to the board to establish criteria for awarding the scholar-ship if it is to stay in the budget. Johnny Looper stated that the last item of the budget discussion were miscellaneous do-nations.“I understand that we had a request from the nursing home to send some of their residents on vacation,” said Loop-er, who then asked Steve Looper what the amount was. Steve Looper, from Signature Health, stat-ed, “We needed to raise around $5,000 to make the Disney trip happen. This is an all-expense paid trip for them.” Johnny Looper then brought up the sale of military equipment. Chief Randolph ex-plained, “I would allow 40% to the police depart-ment, 40% to the fire department and 20% go

Did you know Diabetes can affect your heart? According to the Cen-ter for Disease Control (CDC), two out of three people with Diabetes die of heart disease or stroke. The CDC breaks it down to approximate-ly 20 percent of deaths from heart attack and 13 percent from strokes. This means having Dia-betes puts you two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke. This doesn’t seem like great odds but there are things you can do to prevent your risks!First of all, smoking doubles the risk of heart disease in people with Diabetes! Talk to your doctor about quitting today, especially if you are Diabetic. Maintain-ing a healthy weight is also key for Diabetes control and the preven-tion of heart disease. This is the one that many of us struggle

with: Staying active is definitely the key! You can do this by taking a 30-minute walk four to five times a week. Making healthy food choices is also very im-portant. Here are some pointers:*Eat more vegetables, especially the non-starchy ones *Choose whole grain foods over ones made with refined grains and flours*Choose lean protein foods*Use fruits to curb your sweet tooth*Drink alcohol only in moderation (two or less a day for men and one or less a day for wom-en)The CDC recommends knowing the ABC’s of Diabetes to maintain a healthy heart! A- for the A1C test! This shows what your blood sugars have been over the past three months. High blood sugars can

harm your heart, blood vessels, kidneys, feet, and your eyes. B- for blood pressure! High blood pressure (over 140/90) makes your heart work too hard. It can cause heart attacks, strokes, or kid-ney disease. C- for cholesterol. The LDL type of cholesterol can build up and clog your blood vessels and can cause heart attack or stroke. Ask your doc-tor to explain all of your cholesterol numbers to you.“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will af-fect its successful out-come.” -William James

In every junkateer’s journey, a pilgrimage to the mecca to the holiest of yard sales, and all that is junking, is made by the 127 Corridor Sale. Officially held the sec-ond weekend in August, many vendors set up the first weekend to open all week, and junkateers travel in droves to pay homage to the world’s longest yard sale. Miles and miles of

Hwy. 127, 690 miles to be exact, is filled with awesome finds, unique items, antiques, junk, repurposed, refurbished, rusted, loved, and must-haves. For those of us whose lives are lucky enough to revolve around the Cumberland Plateau, the 127 Sale is a skip, hop and a jump. Monterey area locals are already buzzing about the sale making a point to revisit familiar ven-dors, hunt up some in-teresting finds and sniff out a great deal. These days, nostalgia is all the rage and the 127 has got it covered from Alabama to Michigan. Amy Callahan Martin makes a point to make a

mini vacation out of the affair every year. “I’ll probably go ev-eryday until it’s over. I look at everything,” said Martin. “I learn a lot. I look at all sorts of items and talk to people. The vendors have become friends over the years.” She usually looks for old fishing lures and has been on the hunt for a cool mood ring for the past few years.

Lions install officers

Photo submittedMonterey Lions Club installed new officers for 2015-16 on July 24. New officers are President Ed Warren, Vice-President Wendy Warren, 2-Year Director Eric Kirk, Secretary Sheila Callahan, Treasurer Joy Callahan, Tail Twister Roy Dishman, and Membership Director Brian Eads.

Besides the main wait-ing and office area, the space has four sizeable rooms to which each was assigned a use. One is the “backpack” room where volunteers pack weekend food and snacks before taking them to the schools to be put in the backpacks of the students who have been recommended by the guidance counsel-ors that there is a need. The Ministerial Associa-tion, the Monterey Food Bank, the school guid-ance counselors. “They get a good variety of food and we enjoy it,” said Pat Williams, Mon-terey Food Bank Di-rector. “We kind of get hooked on these kids, too.” Making sure the food bank is receiving funds, the Ministerial Asso-ciation also sponsors the “backpack packs” get-ting supported regularly by a few of the local churches and individual

contributors. The Mon-terey Food Bank vol-unteers then makes out a budget to manage the need and orders the food. The school guidance counselors compile a list of students whose needs are the most compel-ling. All of these groups work together to coordi-nate this effort and make the food care packages available to the students of the community who need it the most. Another room is the “commodities” room where the USDA regu-lated foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats, are stored in refrigerators and deep freezers. These are the foods that have their own standards and guidelines and the food bank is inspected regu-larly, like any restaurant, to be able to continue to operate. The Monterey Food Bank is completely op-erated by volunteers. “This is a joint effort. We drive to Cookeville and pick up supplies. We have to do it on our own,” said Williams. “Any money that is do-

nated to the food bank goes to buy the food. So, I am very proud of my volunteers.” They drive to Cookeville to pick up the backpack supplies and to pick up the food they’ve ordered from Second Harvest. “The little Cub Scouts had a food drive and they gave us over 800 cans of food,” beamed Williams. “I was so proud of them,

you know, because they are so little. Then they introduced me and I was expecting any kind of a question from them. The one that stayed with me the most was one little boy asked me, ‘If some-one came in and needed food and was hungry and you didn’t have any food, would you let him go hungry?’ I told him, ‘No, honey, I would go

around to my home and other homes, the grocery stores and wherever else I could to beg food for him.’ ‘Okay,’ he said. He was satisfied then. After I got home I said, ‘He’s been hungry.’”The Monterey Food Bank gets other support with food drives from the Post Office, from the lo-cal scout troops, the high school, and more, and

even from individuals who bring in items from home. There are some ladies who save their grocery store bags and bring them in and save them from having to buy bags. “It’s an effort by everybody. It’s not any one person’s food bank; it’s everybody’s food bank and we’re proud of it,” said Williams. Judy Webster, Pauline Seese, Andy Combs, and Pat Williams are the regu-lar volunteers and oth-ers who help when they can. “So, I never worry about having a volunteer because there is always somebody stepping up,” said Williams. Williams explained that since she started working with the Mon-terey Food Bank, it has moved five times. “The City has been very nice, very cooperative. [The new space] is bigger. Each time that we have moved, it’s been a big-ger place and a better place,” said Williams. “So, God looks after us. We feel blessed. I hope we are home this time.”

Part 3: Old things new The ultimate on antiques, yard sales, junk, and thrift- 127 Corridor Sale

“I love it more than Christmas. I count the days until so much fun and the food,” said Martin. This year she found marijuana burlap sacks to use as quirky Christmas stockings for her three children and a couple of old magazines from the 1930s. She was interested in purchasing a Case knife and learned a lot about knives as a result. She ended up with a beautiful yellow bone Case pocket knife. Martin also found some great bamboo pillows with which she plans to outfit several beds in her home. “There’s so much to look at, though, and nostalgic items from all decades. [I] love it; just learning,” she en-thused. “I do plan to eat a burger at the [Cumber-land Mountain] General Store’s 50s diner. The diner is great. It’s worth the trip anytime of the year; old-fashioned-ice cream-soda fountain style.”Martin generally shops the Clarkrange area but sometimes ventures into Crossville. She adores the art deco and the “highbrow” pieces. “I enjoy art history, though, and studied it for a couple of years in college,” said Martin. “So, I like to conduct my own little personal Antiques Road Show and see how my Price is Right estimate turns out.”

Martin admits she doesn’t haggle although she has also never paid the asking price. “Most always, after I spend a little time with the ven-dor, talking to them and finding out about a piece or the history of an item, they almost always say, ‘I tell you what, I’ll let you have it for-,’” re-vealed Martin. “I enjoy the people, the atmo-sphere and the unique items.”

Martin explained that the 127 Sale is the mark of her Christmas shop-ping season. She finds unique things to give and always finds some-thing for the Callahan Family Dirty Santa gift game. “I have three large Christmas stock-ings to fill for my kids. Everything that I put in then is picked up with thought for each one. If anyone I love gets a gift from me from the 127, they’re pretty special to me.”The 127 Sale is the ul-timate, one-stop-shop-ping haven even for the most avid junkateer and a collector’s paradise. There are so many sto-ries to be told about the items, the experiences, the people, that there’s no doubt you will defi-nitely get more than you bargain for. The 127 Corridor Sale will officially begin on Aug. 6 and continue through Aug. 10. But, be sure to cash in on the presale fun, makes some new friends, tell some stories, and bring home the best junk the world’s longest yard sale has to offer.

The long awaited completion date has been projected to be late November, with a month for double checking the punch list, and then moving students in over Christmas Break. All this depends on a host of conditions. MHS students, parents, faculty, staff, and administration are poised and resilient despite the unpractical temporary school setting and the delay. They are adamant that the new school year will bring as much progress and as many successes just the same. Putnam County School Board next meeting is slated for Aug. 7 at the BOE at 5 p.m.

To witness pure joy and summertime fun on their faces made for a really fantastic day. The children and youth of the area who were able to attend came at their leisure but only left when absolutely forced. Farley organized the event just before Putnam Co. schools reconvened for the 2015-16 aca-demic school year in an effort to make the transi-tion to school easier, en-courage area students in their studies by marking the end of an incredible

summer. No doubt, there were wishes that days like that of the MBL Back to School Bash would never end. But, to everything there is a sea-son. MBL created a day to remember in wishing students a happy school

year.“We just wanted to be able to encourage the children as they go back to school with one last fun day,” said Farley. “The Depot provided the ice cream and friends of the Monterey Branch

Library paid for the water slide.”For more MBL event information call 839-2103 or visit the Monterey Branch Library Facebook page for updates.

vice.” He was nothing short of surprised, and said, “Thank you to the ladies who stitched together this fine quilt and to the [QOV] organization for the support of the men and women who answer the call to serve.”“Most of our veterans have been WWII, Ko-rean and Vietnam Vet-erans, and it reminds us that all these men were young men like Jesse when they served. We cannot thank these vet-erans enough for the ser-vice and sacrifice they have made to protect our freedoms throughout the years. All have given so much for the freedoms we enjoy in our coun-try,” said Wesley. The Crossville QOV is a nonprofit, volunteer based group that meets once per month to come together and piece to-gether quilts of gratitude to present to local Amer-ican veterans. The beau-tiful quilts the group makes and presents to veterans are made with donations from indi-viduals and businesses supporting this great cause. The Crossville QOV is an open group and encourages anyone interested to join them. Volunteers who enjoy sewing may bring their

machines and sew quilt-ing blocks or bring their needle and thread to bind quilts. There are many areas a volunteer can serve in the QOV even if a potential mem-ber does not sew. Some members prefer not to sew but are a great help with cutting out quilt blocks to make kits for others to sew together. Volunteer members are always appreciated. The Crossville QOV also ac-cepts quilt quality 100% cotton fabrics in red, white, blue, patriotic prints, golds, grays, and off-whites. “It is such an honor to give all veterans a quilt; to wrap them in the love and appreciation we feel for their service and sac-rifice so each of us may enjoy the life we live

today in the beautiful country of ours,” said Wesley.If someone would like to request a Quilt of Val-or for a veteran please go to http://www.qovf.org/req-quilt.html.

I know what you did this summer...

(StatePoint)

Getting kids to be more active and motivated for outdoor adventure can be a challenge in today’s world of cool technol-ogy. With so many compelling reasons to stay indoors, like smart-phones and streaming video, how do you con-vince your little ones that the great outdoors is, well, great?Here are a few ideas to inspire outdoor play and even to use their love of

technology to help lure them outdoors:Plan a Scavenger HuntTurn a simple day out-side into an exciting adventure. Create a the-matic challenge that can be carried out in the yard or a nearby playground and set the kids loose for a mental and physical challenge.Use your kids’ interests to get them motivated to participate, or help foster a new interest by having kids seek out specific items in nature.

Record the ActionEncourage outdoor ac-tivity with cameras and wearable devices de-signed with kids in mind. For example, the afford-able VTech Kidizoom Action Cam features a robust, durable design and comes complete with mounts for attach-ing to a bike, skateboard or scooter. The water-proof case allows kids to take videos and pictures up to six feet underwater -- perfect for snorkeling and splashing fun.

The camera, which was named the number one breakout hit on the TTPM Summer Play List, features a 1.4 inch color LCD screen and can take stop-motion vid-eos and time-lapse pho-tos in addition to regular videos and photos. It lets kids get creative with features, effects, frames and photo filters. It also includes three games and a micro USB cable to make it easy to upload photos and videos to a computer. More infor-

mation can be found at www.VTechKids.com/ActionCam.Mix Things UpYour own backyard can be home to new and ex-citing adventures every day, especially for chil-dren with active imagi-nations. Nevertheless, kids will welcome an op-portunity for a change of scenery. From the play-ground to the pool to the skate park, take kids on mini field trips whenev-er you get a chance.Build Confidence

For many, a lack of con-fidence may be a barrier to getting involved in neighborhood pick-up sports and other local activities outdoors. Bear this in mind and strive to build your child’s confi-dence.Even if your home pos-sesses a state of the art home theater and all the latest gadgets, with a few simple strategies, you’ll have kids off the couch and begging to play outside.

Vine’s Ridge Baptist Church

Christians are reminded by James to model the patience of Job. The ESV translates patience as steadfastness.“Behold, we consider those blessed who re-mained steadfast. You have heard of the stead-fastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and mer-ciful.” — James 5:11It is important as a church to be encour-aged to endure suffer-

ing as Job did. His pa-tience is a model for us to emulate as we lean on and trust our Lord in all things. If mercy and compassion seem to be lacking, it is faith and trust in HIM that will eventually reveal what mercy and compassion truly are. The Apostle Peter reminds us to not be shocked when trials come our way. He also encourages the Christian not to bring suffering on himself as we are all prone to do from time to time.“12 Beloved, do not be

surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you…..15 But let none of you suf-fer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.” — 1 Peter 4:12, 15Not all suffering is a trial by God. Far too often, we bring suffering onto ourselves through med-dling in business not our own. The meddler is the busybody, the gossip, the nosy person who has nothing better to do than to cause suffering for others. However, it is the busybody, the gossiper, who will eventually bring trouble on himself.

The Apostle Paul en-courages the Corinthian church following a harsh battle with his accusers. A small group of busy-bodies infiltrated the church and discredited the Apostle with gossip and lies. Paul’s heart is expressed to the church in the situation:“Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.” — 2 Corin-thians 2:5See, the truth about gos-sip is that it hurts not just one person, but the body of Christ. I admire Paul’s attitude toward his accusers. He takes

no personal offense at the troublemakers. In-stead he shows that the true victim of busybod-ies and gossips is the church of our Lord. It is the body of Christ that suffers when idle talk and gossip stir up trou-ble. Peter and Paul han-dled troublemakers the same way. Not by taking personal offense, but by showing that the church as a whole suffers and should not tolerate idle gossip from those within its ranks.Job endured the lies and attacks of his three friends and was counted as an example to the ear-ly church. As those out-side of the faith attack

those within the faith, the true Christian will endure the suffering, but will also stand firm in the gospel. As a result, it is God and his church that stands strong. The busy-bodies who infiltrate the church, who have noth-ing better to do than to spread lies and rumors, only bring harm to them-selves while attempting to harm the church.How do you handle idle gossip and rumors? Do you join in the talk? Or do you remind the per-son stirring up trouble that it is the church they are harming rather than the individual they are attacking?

The Official REVIEW10A Entertainment

I have always consid-ered myself to be some-what of a film buff, but I know very little about the horror genre because I have never been much of a fan. Growing up I was never the girl who excitedly participated in slasher movie marathons at slumber parties. My imagination ran too wild and my nightmares were too vivid. Not much has changed. Even as an adult, I tend to steer away from the fright-

ful. However, when the Scream franchise of films began in the 90s, I found myself enjoying a scary movie for the first time ever.

Perhaps it was because I was older, but Scream presented something different for me. The violence and gore was almost secondary to the plot, instead of the other way around. Scream had more depth, more mean-ing behind the madness. However, it probably should have come to an end after the second or third film. It also prob-ably should not have spurred a TV series, but it has; almost 20 years since the premiere of the original Scream.I binge-watched the first three episodes of MTV’s

serial version of Scream and I really was not ex-pecting much from it. The idea that a series could be created from a popu-lar slasher movie fran-chise just did not seem possible, even with an all new premise and cast of characters. The pilot episode was well done, though, and scarier than I would have thought. But, by episode three, I was completely disillu-sioned if not downright bored. However, I still think this series has po-tential. Airing during the summer, I am sure it is a popular viewing choice for young teens. But if the show is to find long-term success there are numerous kinks that need to be worked out. Even though most dra-mas are approximately one hour long, I was sur-

prised to find that this particular series was. After sitting through an hour of Scream, things feel somewhat resolved and void of any antici-pation for upcoming episodes. Moreover, two episodes or more feels like a full-length movie. For that reason it may not be the best series to binge-watch. Nevertheless, I think it would have been better to package this series in thirty-minute segments to maximize viewer interest from week to week. A full hour al-lows for too much time to drag things out and I think people will tire of that fairly quickly. Another major problem I have with this series is that it is not clear what prompts the sudden murder spree. Is it the

filming and online post-ing of a private moment that ignites the killer’s rage or is it the resur-facing of a decade’s old murder mystery? So far, at least, the answer is

not clear. The new Scream takes advantage of all the technology that didn’t quite exist when the original Scream pre-miered. Teens make full use of web cams, video chatting, and texting. One even communicates with the killer through Twitter. This took me out of the story, because while all of that technol-ogy would make it easier for the killer to com-municate it should also make it easier to find said killer. Of course, no one thought to call a tech expert to help track him down. Another update is the use of a different mask for the killer. I actually think this was a smart move since the original mask has been featured

in so many parodies, not to mention Halloween costumes. As a result it has lost most of its origi-nal creepiness. Scream is not a must-see series, particularly for adults. I suspect it will mostly resonate with young viewers who were not around for the premiere of the original film. I do have to won-der, though, how long a show like this can hold their attention. I think that will largely depend on how attached they be-come to the characters, who unfortunately are mostly unlikeable.

Scream airs Tuesday nights at 10/9c on MTV.

Sons of Privilege: Wards of the State by Ken Hall is an autobiographi-cal chronicle of life at Castle Heights Military Academy in Lebanon, Tn. It has to be said that there isn’t enough book to sate the palate. The up close and personal look at an era passed, in a mil-itary school setting that doesn’t exist anymore, is about a Hall’s youth-ful experiences while attending Castle Heights Military Academy from 1966-71. The short memoir is so refresh-ingly candid and down-

to-earth, a reader almost craves more anecdotes. A humorous dessert of a read, Sons of Privilege gives a unique coming of age perspective and personal piece of valu-able Tennessee history. Naturally, mischief en-sues when, as Hall ex-plains it, “Placing seven hundred hormonally charged teenage boys in a non-female environ-ment can be an explosive situation.” But, the com-radery and the brother-hood that was created is a bond that will never be broken and, in this day and age, may never be matched. Sons of Privilege is an honest expose featur-ing “the West Point of the South,” the boyhood shenanigans and man-hood lessons. The book even answers the ques-tion, “How many coats of paint does it take to cover a multitude of a young man’s sins?”

The individual collec-tion of memories and isms that resulted in Sons of Privilege is what every mother needs to know about her son and a playbook of mischief and hilarity that no son needs to read until he is a father. From the an-tics of the Rice Tower Terrors and how a dime can be used as a weapon to the war between the Goobers and the Greas-ers, Sons of Privilege is an amusing account of the truth in the saying, “Boys will be boys.” An excerpt from its pag-es, Hall sums up his ex-periences beautifully:“The reason Castle Heights live on through each of us lies in the very fact that young men were allowed to dream, to scheme, to plan and to execute under the watchful eye of these seasoned soldiers who knew that this was these young men’s last chance

at youth.That magnificent insti-tution closed its doors a quarter of a century ago but her heart still beats in the chests of her proud former cadets. The memories of our glory days and the part she played in them still live on in each of us.”Sons of Privilege is a greatly entertaining read; engaging and endearing, nostalgic and witty. By the end, you feel a sense of pride as though you were a one of Castle Heights’ many children. Hail Castle Heights!Sons of Privilege: Wards of the State is $12 per copy and available through Ken Hall. Order by mailing your name, address, email, and phone, a personal check or money order to Hall at 1018 Calfkiller Hwy., Monterey, Tn. 38574.

to the general fund as discussed in the commit-tee.” Discussion ensued regarding state regu-lations in this matter. Johnny Looper said that they were police funds to which Nathan Walker added, “As I understand it, all the equipment is free and clear for the po-lice to sell it at their own discretion.” Mayor Wiggins pointed out that they now had to summarize the changes and for someone make a motion to amend the original motion to ap-prove the budget as sub-mitted. “We have two changes. The alderman pay and the fire department,” said Wiggins. Mark Far-ley made a motion and was seconded by Na-than Walker to strike the aldermen’s pay and the fire department down to $10,000 for the SCBA breathing apparatus. Mo-tion carried. The original motion was passed. MISSION PRES-ENTS TO BOARD: Steve Looper and Tony Phipps came to repre-sent the Soup, Socks and Scarves community mission. “Basically, Sig-nature Healthcare and

Silver Angels are in the process of becoming a 501C3 company to serve poor, homeless, women in need and those that are disenfranchised in our community. Pres-ently, we handout about 25 dry good food boxes in our community once a month. Something that has come up that we are envisioning this fall, around fall-break time, to do community outreach mission type that would involve minor home im-provements, minor re-pairs that we could do at low cost but involve our community churches,” said Steve Looper. “We are hoping that the part the city could do, if you have some funds avail-able, for that in order to buy minimum amount of materials. My under-standing, and correct me if I’m wrong, Signature Healthcare resumed this year, in giving a check for $50,000. Hopefully, that money is spent in the community to bless and help our commu-nity. If those funds here and some available we would like to request $5,000 to make this a reality.” Nathan Walker informed that the healthcare com-mittee would have to oversee that money and Looper could put a re-

quest in with that com-mittee.

I asked Warren Nevad, our MTAS consultant. War-ren’s response was this, ’I believe military leave is 20 days per year – use that then go to his vaca-

tion leave.’ With that, I did look up the TCA code and that is what the TCA code states also.” Mayor Wiggins stated that we need to address this on a temporary ba-sis and then have Warren to submit a personnel policy addendum for us to adopt.

Motion carried to accept the police com-mittee recommendation. Amy Clark introduced into the meeting Duane Jarrett and Nathaniel Green to present the board with an update to explain some water loss issues, some sewer issues and distribution issues. Duane Jarrett be-gan the dialogue about sewer issues. “I felt like this would come 2018 or

2019 for the sewer up-grade. It looks like it is going to happen sooner rather than later,” said Jarrett. Nathaniel Green said, “I am going to give you a corrective action plan for some of the things that you have vio-lated on. Monterey has a nitrite/nitrate limit which is just to flow what they have going out. [TDEC] told us that we need to have a short term solu-tion and to see if we can lower the limit.” In the corrective action plan, called for adding a chemical, like molas-ses for a short term so-lution to get the nitrate numbers down. TDEC informed Green of the requirements from the town. One is to add the nitrite/nitrate violation to the current agreed or-der; two is Monterey’s effluent limits will be-come stricter with the 2018 permit; three is Monterey is to begin ex-perimenting with a short-term fix for the problem; and four is Monterey to being planning for a long-term solution.
