Council Votes On Rezoning

Call NOW For Details - 877-368-2110$

Eagleville City Council voted 3 to 1 on rezoning a 12-acre parcel next to the new city park from general industrial to heavy industrial to allow a concrete mixing plant to come in. The action took place at the regular council meeting on Aug. 23. A public hearing and two more readings of a rezoning ordinance will be required before a fi nal vote can be taken on the measure. Councilmen voting for the proposal on the fi rst vote were Harold Vincion, Terry Zumbro and Ronnie Hill. Coun-cilman Greg Buchanan voted against the proposal and Councilman M.A. Smitty was absent from the meeting. The rezoning is being considered at the request of Metro Ready Mix, which has 14 plants in Middle Tennes-see including two in Murfreesboro. If the current proposal goes through, the concrete facility would be located on Highway 41-A between Tru-Line Tool and Manufacturing Co. and Kelley Creek. The council’s vote was based on a recommendation from the planning commission to change the zoning of the 12-acre parcel of land owned by Robert Poe of Franklin

from Industrial 1 (I-1) to Industrial 2 (I-2). The planning commission met in a special called meeting Aug. 20 to hear Metro Ready Mix representative’s request and then voted to recommend the rezoning to the city council at the Aug. 23 meeting. Mayor Nolan Barham and Councilman Harold Vincion are the only council members on the planning commission. Vincion, who brought the rezoning recommendation to the council meeting, was reluctant to tell the remaining coun-cil members the name of the company that triggered the rezoning request. At least two of the councilmen, Ronnie Hill and Greg Buchanan, said they had no knowledge of the rezon-ing proposal before they reached the council meeting because the agenda they received before the meeting did not

Construction Underway On The New Rockvale Middle School

Work is progressing rapidly at the new Rockvale Middle School site on Highway 99 across from the current elementary school. The goal is to have the 160,000 square foot building open by the start of the school year next August, accord-ing to James Evans, spokesman for the Rutherford County School District. The new one-story facility will house up to 1,000 students and will serve sixth, seventh and eighth grade students. Once the middle school opens the elementary school will revert to a kindergarten through fi fth grade school instead of the current kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) one. The current K-8 elementary school at Rockvale is also designed for up to 1,000 students and is almost full, Evans said. The new middle school is projected to cost about $30 million. The gen-eral contractor on the project is R.G. Anderson of Nashville. The school will be similar to the Stewart Creek Middle School, with a gymnasium, a media center and an auditorium. The colors may be different, though, Evans said.

A high school and playing fi elds are also planned for the 175-acre site, with the high school projected to open by about 2010. “They are building the new middle school now right across the street from the elementary school,” Evans said. “Then they will come back and build the high school next door to the middle school on the same property.” Looking from Highway 99, the middle school will be toward the front on the left side of the property with the high school in the back left corner, and the playing fi elds will be to the right to keep them away from the existing homes, Evans said “Hopefully the kids will go through Rockvale elementary, middle school and high school, and keep them close,” he said. Currently students in the Rockvale community can either go to Blackman, Riverdale or Eagleville High School with most of the students going to either Riverdale or Blackman. The new school complex will be served by a sewer line coming from Murfreesboro.

Eagleville is getting a another new eatery on Main Street which will be called the Billy Goat Café. “It will not be a café but will be a coffee shop with cappuccino, bagels muffi ns and an ice cream place,” owner Doyle Wood said. The facility will offer soft serve and hand dipped ice cream, smoothies, milk shakes and other ice cream items. The Billy Goat Cafe will be in the former Huckleberry’s Cafe at the corner of Highway 99 and Allisona Road, which Wood has bought. The new eatery prob-ably will not open for about three months because of renovation work. Wood also owns the new Eagle Roost Smokehouse and Grill, located in the former When Pigs Fly restaurant next to Regions Bank. He and his son, Chris, hope to open the smokehouse and grill sometime in October. Since Huckleberry’s has closed, the Eagle Roost will now offer breakfast. “We plan to serve breakfast, dinner and lunch six days a week,” Wood said. Workers are now building a new kitchen and dining porch behind the main part of the Eagle Roost restaurant. The entire restaurant will have menus with waiter and waitress services includ-ing the porch, Wood said.

“It will not be walk-up and take your plate up even on the porch,” he said. The porch will be at least a summer dining spot with fans and possibly will be heated for the winter. “We’ll just have to wait and see,” Wood said. The restaurant will also have a window for those who want to order food to go. The menu at the Eagle Roost will include typical breakfasts, and for lunch and dinner, barbecue ribs, chicken, burg-ers, grilled chicken, grilled meatloaf and smoked bologna. Several side dishes will be offered plus a couple of types of dinner salads. “It will be what people are looking forward to,” Wood said. The Woods have taken some of their recipes to another restaurant that has a similar size kitchen to the Eagle Roost and tried them out. Son Chris said they were pleased with the results. Sun Country Tanning Salon, Wood’s third business on Eagleville’s Main Street, opened recently and for now has busi-ness hours from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. All three of Wood’s businesses are closed on Sundays. The tanning salon is located upstairs at the Eagle Roost Smokehouse and Grill.

mention the item. The agenda given to them at the council meeting referenced the rezoning proposal as “recommendation for plan-ning commission – zoning change for parcel 7.04 property.” “So we are to vote on changing this and we don’t know what goes there,” Hill asked. “When it is making an im-pact on the zoning we do need to know what is coming there.” Upon questioning by Hill, Vincion said that the rezoning would allow in such businesses as a concrete plant, as-phalt plant and other uses but he would not name the specifi c company. After more probing by Hill, Vincion said “let’s say for a ready-mix or batch-ing station” and added that he had only said the “possibility” of a new business coming in. “If I could tell you there is a com-pany that wants to come in here and do that I would say, ‘Yeah, this company wants to come in but we don’t know,” he said. After Hill continued to press for a company name, Barham revealed that Metro Ready Mix was the company making the request that led to the rezon-ing issue. Barham also announced that the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), which is made up of the planning commission members, also met the same night as the called planning commission meeting and granted a special exception to allow the concrete plant in an I-2 zone. “The BZA did meet and approved the usage of it,” Barham said. Eagleville’s zoning ordinance does

not specifi cally name concrete mixing operations in its list of uses permitted in the I-2 zone, but does permit such an industry as a special exception. The Eagleville Times, however, could not get any clear answers by its deadline on other provisions in the city’s zoning ordinance that might keep a heavy industrial operation such as the concrete mixing plant from locating on the Poe property. The zoning ordinance is the offi -cial document that guides the planning commission’s and BZA’s actions. The zoning ordinance’s site location criteria for the I-2 zone says, in part, that the proposed site will be located apart “from community facilities where con-centrations of people will be present,” which appears to describe the city park. Mayor Barham said in an interview last week that the city would be inves-tigating any issue that might hinder the concrete plant being built on the Poe property, which is next to the park. “There are several facets of this thing with the rezoning being just one aspect of it,” he said. “We can go through the public hearing and two readings but until this is clarifi ed we will not have the third and fi nal reading. If some of this stuff doesn’t come through it will not pass.” Another provision in the zoning ordinance is that a heavy industrial (I-2) usage can not be put on a site located within a 100-year fl oodplain or wetland. Placement of buildings and activities in a fl oodplain or wetland is also governed by federal and state rules. Vincion indicated in the council meeting that the city is aware of the

fl oodplain issue and that planning of-fi cials have already told Metro Ready Mix that the company will have to have an engineering study done on the pro-posed site. “FEMA takes precedence over every-thing else,” Barham said, indicating that without the go ahead from FEMA the rezoning process would stop. The Fed-eral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is associated with defi ning the 100-year fl oodplain areas. Barham indicated the planning commission went ahead and made the recommendation to the council at this time to get the rezoning process in place so Metro Ready Mix could move for-ward on the engineering study and other aspects. “If people come in and they want to have a business here, we want to try to accommodate them the best we can,” he said. “We are not going to run over anybody or do something illegal but are going through everything we have to have and just trying to cut down on some time limits for them.” Barham also said he called the spe-cial planning commission meeting two weeks before the regularly scheduled one because someone involved with the Metro Ready Mix proposal requested it. “If anyone asks for a special meet-ing on that and they are trying to buy property and have a deadline we have always done that,” he said. “We try to be accommodating to people.” Barham said notice of the special meeting was posted outside city hall as required. The zoning ordinance also says that an applicant requesting a rezoning pay

for a notifi cation sign to be placed on the property to be rezoned “14 days prior to consideration of the planning commis-sion meeting which will remain in place until action by the city council.” The planning commission considered the item on Aug. 20 and the city council took action Aug. 23, but as of Aug. 28, no sign was visible on the property. Barham suggested the sign did not have to be in place until after the council had its fi rst vote concerning the rezon-ing. “If the council did not vote on it in the fi rst reading, there was no reason to put it up there,” he said. “Once the council votes on it the sign will be put up and stay up there longer than needed anyway.” Councilman Ronnie Hill said he voted for the rezoning initially because he didn’t want to vote against a new business coming to town. “I didn’t like what I knew about it as far as it going next to the park,” he said. “After further thought I don’t think it is a good idea.” Councilman David Rigsby said he did not vote for the concrete company to come in but just voted to rezone the property. “We are going to have to do some-thing in the city of Eagleville because look at the businesses we have lost,” he said. “I am 100 percent toward prog-ress.” Zumbro and Vincion or a representa-tive of Metro Ready Mix could not be reached for comment.

A citizens group has formed in an ef-fort to stop Eagleville offi cials from pos-sibly allowing a concrete mixing plant to locate on a 12-acre plot on Highway 41A next to the Eagleville City Park. The Eagleville Citizens for Respon-sible Government group is protesting an application from Metro Ready Mix concerning building a plant on the parcel which is located between Tru-Line Tool and Manufacturing Co. and Kelley Creek. The property is owned by Robert Poe. Eagleville city councilmen have given preliminary approval to rezone the property to allow such a business as a concrete plant to locate on the site. The council action was in response to a recommendation by the planning com-mission.

The citizens group is circulating a petition which says “the under-signed are in strong opposition” to the council approving the plant next to the park.The petition reads:“We are equally concerned about the daily exposures to the hundreds of students who attend nearby Eagleville School. We are alarmed and frightened to think our children will be subjected to environmental dangers including, but not limited to, chemical leaks and airborne particles, heavy truck traffi c and unbearable noise.” The citizens group is hosting a meeting to discuss issues concern-ing the proposed concrete plant location at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Eagleville Community Center.

When the Tennessee Titans hit the fi eld for a new season, there’s always a few new faces. This goes for the cheerleaders too. This year there’s a local connection. Carrie Appleton of Chapel Hill tried out, along with about 200 other hopefuls, for one of the coveted spots. Carrie was a cheerleader throughout Junior and Senior High School. She also took dance lessons and competed with DC Dance Factory. Although she graduated, went to college, and got married she continued with her dance lessons. She and her husband

Chris both have busy jobs and have just completed building their dream home. Both lead very busy lives but with the support of Chris and her family she de-cided to try out for the team. Her diligence certainly paid off.

Proud parents are Ron & Janie Patterson of Chapel Hill. Her brother, Grant, who’s always thought she was cool, thinks she’s even cooler now that she’s a Titans Cheerleader. Now when we cheer for the Titans we also cheer for a very special cheerleader - “Go Titans...Go Carrie”.

The following article, a focus on the Eagleville Senior Class of 1948-49, was taken from a 1949 school annual. The annual, The Lone Eagle, published by the Senior Class was dedicated to Mrs. Scott (Lady Mary) Williams, a faculty member. CLASS HISTORYA ship set sail in 1945 with a crew of eleven girls and nine boys under the lead-ership of Miss Sandell Dalton. After glid-ing over the seas for four long years, now in 1949, under the command of Mr. U. R. Elmore the vessel is speedily coming into port with its crew of twelve, six girls and six boys, ten of whom have attended the twelve years of schooling together.During our fi rst year of high school we had a rather hard time of it, as we were ig-norant of the sea on which we were afl oat. On April 1, all of the freshman girls stayed

PAGES FROM THE PAST – EAGLEVILLE HIGH SCHOOLout of class the fi rst period, because we thought it would be a lively April fool’s joke; but soon we became worried about our lunch and returned to class. It was, in truth, a prosperous year and one fi lled with accidents as well as incidents.During our four years of basketball we have helped to win 4 sportsmanship, 2 mythical league and 2 runners-up trophies.And now we are sailing into our port. We are coming into harbor to prepare for a larger and more important voyage than ever, one into the broad and open world. May every member of our class go out and prove themselves worthy of the dear old school they have left behind.May each of us ever have a tender feeling for all the teachers who have helped us over the rough spots and who have tried to prepare us to meet the many confl icts and

struggles of life.PROPHECY OF SENIOR CLASSSeveral of the Eagleville Seniors of 1949 met and planned an automobile trip for the purpose of checking up on those members of the class of whom we had heard noth-ing for several years.As we were passing through Nashville we had a car accident and were sent to the St. Thomas Hospital. We were met in the hospital by the head nurse, Cath-eryn Barnes. We learned from her that Mary Ellen Taylor owns a beauty salon in Nashville.We had our car repaired and were ready to continue our journey. As we were speed-ing on to our hometown, Eagleville, we were stopped by a state patrol. He came to the car and said, “Cast your peepers on this ticket.” Guess who it was? Lt. Bob

Clary! We talked a long time about our school days.We could hardly wait until we reached Eagleville because most of our schoolmates were residents of that town. When we reached there we noticed that Buford Smith had bought Parker Theatre. As we were talking to some friends we learned that William Boyce owns a large farm south of Eagleville and that James Rowland owns a dairy farm.Our next stop was the school. As we were visiting the rooms, who would you guess met us at the sophomore door? Mary Jean Hay! She was conducting an algebra class. We talked with her for several minutes about our schoolmates. She told us that Herbert Manier is playing the French harp and other musical instruments over station W.S.M in Nashville.

A Step Back in Time By Bobbie Sue Shelton-Lonas

Our next stop was Memphis. Cynthia Scott has fi nished at Southwestern and is teaching there.We were now enroute to Florida and at last reached Miami where Jean Elmore is a stewardess on Eastern Airlines. When we returned to Murfreesboro we saw Ha-zel Ralston. She is a Home Demonstra-tion Agent for Rutherford County. Last of the Seniors is Buddy Lowe, I’ll give you one guess what happened. Yes, he married a wealthy girl.CLASS WILL We, the seniors of 1949 in sound minds, without regard to our four years of high school, wish to will everything we have left to the Juniors. What money we have left in the trea-

sury, which will be very little, we leave to the Junior Class. Jean Elmore wishes to will her chair by the window to Bobby Bellenfant as he proceeds to get it every day. Hazel Ralston wills her good notebook to her bosom friend, Dorothy Lynch. All year Bob Clary has kept his books in a very nice place, on top of his desk, so he wills this habit to Peggy McClaran who does the same thing. Mary Jean Hay and Mary Ellen Taylor get the paper every day during b bas-ketball season and predict the winners. This ability to foresee the outcome of the games, we are sure, will be left to Mary Alice Manier. Cynthia Scott leaves all her chewing gum to Marie Ghee since she likes to chew as well as Cynthia. You should see

some of the bubbles. Mary Catheryn Barnes doesn’t have much temper and neither does Ann Bel-lenfant. But you know these redheads. So Cat leaves what temper she has to Ann. Buford Smith leaves all his talk on Parker Theatre to Jack Abernathy. Ju-niors, you surely have our sympathy. William Boyce and Herbert Manier have always stuck very close together so their over-the-radiator-talks are left to Billy Isom and James Earl Wilson. When teachers ask James Rowland a question, he usually asks them six in return. James wills this ability to Ramsey Macon. Also the seniors will leave to the Ju-niors their skill in playing basketball since eight out of the twelve are on the teams. We, the senior girls, leave our fi rst place in line at lunch to the Juniors. Step on it girls.

Continued from previous page.....

Mrs. Lady Mary Williams

We hope that the Juniors will accept this legacy and that they will treasure it all during their Senior year. Good luck to all of you!

Little Stories About You & Me By Nancy Allen

When I said it didn’t make any sense to me—sit-ting with your knees under your chin,

three or four abreast, traveling 500 miles an hour, more than two miles up in the air; Kathy McFarlane said, “it doesn’t make sense to me either.” She and her husband, Bill, fl y gliders. A person is stretched out with plenty of leg room, with unobstructed vision of the sights below, fl ying with the hawks, eagles and other soaring birds that use the thermal lift. Bill said, “a glider is like sitting in the open air. It’s like being a bird.” At fi rst, a tow plane takes the glider up. When the glider releases from the plane, it’s fl ying free. Although it’s moving forward, the glider is coming down all the time. At some point the glider must fi nd a thermal and circle in it to receive a lift before it can continue forward. Bill told about one new pilot who had not ventured away from the airport. But, one day he decided to go further. He said, “What if I get lost?” His instructor told him, “Just fi nd a big fi eld and land. Call us and we’ll come after you.” Sure enough the young pilot lost his way. He found a big fi eld, landed and walked over to a house. He told the man he needed to use the phone to have his instructor come for him. The man said, “Why don’t you just walk across the highway?” The pilot had landed across from the airport! Bill said, “It’s hard for an inexperienced per-son to recognize landmarks from the air.” Bill and Kathy used to take part in contests. At one time, Kathy was the only woman among 30 men. Bill said, “At fi rst the men huddled around her asking if they could help her; but after she took third place, they didn’t help anymore.”

In Flight On a recent return fl ight from Germany where Kathy went to participate in a Fibromyalgia workshop, on one of those double decker super jets with two isles, Kathy had one isle seat and a tall, injured soccer player was wedged into one of the middle seats. There were two other women seated on the row. The injured gentleman had spent several weeks in the hospital having surgery on his legs where pins were now holding them together. Kathy and the woman in the seat next to the soccer player took it upon themselves to make sure their seat mate survived the long fl ight without cramps and blood clots. Kathy massaged his neck and shoulders while the other woman worked on his legs. Since Kathy is a licensed massage thera-pist she would have certainly been derelict of her duty had she not come to the aid of this handsome athlete. While embarking the plane a man approached Kathy. He said, “I was really hurting and I could have used a back rub, but I didn’t ask. I was afraid your husband would object.” Kathy said, “My husband wouldn’t ob-ject. He’s back in Rover Tennessee taking care of our airport.” Bill and Kathy operate the Russell Puckett Airfi eld where people come to fl y gliders and small planes. The site was begun in the early 1950s when Russell Puckett began using the property as a landing fi eld. In 1967 Garland Pack began operating a glider training business there called Eagleville Soaring School which became one of the busiest glider ports in the south. In 1981 Bill and Kathy bought the business. According to “Aviation in Tennessee—Tennessee’s Aviation His-tory in the Stories of People, Places and Events,” Puckett Field qualifi es as one of the oldest continuously operated, privately owned, airports in the state.

I’m not a man-basher. Really, I’m not. If I do say something uncom-plimentary about

my husband or men in general, it’s only because they deserved it. I love my hus-band all the time, but sometimes I don’t understand him. I don’t understand why he can’t eat Froot Loops in front of other people. He tells me it’s not a manly cereal, and he wouldn’t be caught dead eating them, even though he likes them. He eats things like granola and trail mix because they sound manly. Well…and because he likes them, too. But that’s beside the point. I don’t understand a man’s obsession with his barbeque grill, either. In my eyes, a grill is a grill. You use it to cook hot dogs and steaks and when it doesn’t work anymore, you fi x it. My husband needs to be steered away from the outdoor section of a department store lest he drool on the biggest, baddest outdoor grill/barbeque station they have. I don’t know if these stores have drooling policies, but I’m pretty sure that it’s an unspoken rule that if you drool on it you have to buy it. My brother just bought a new grill. It’s a really nice one and, of course, he is obsessive about it. He cleans and pol-ishes it everyday. He hates to cook on it because he doesn’t want to get it dirty. All of his neighbors have to close their blinds because the UV rays refl ecting off his over-polished outdoor grill have the ability to fry their small children and pets. In fact, NASA once issued a statement that their astronauts in the International Space Station could see a bright light beaming from the vicinity of my brother’s back-yard. They said he might have to douse it because he might be sending hostile mes-sages to alien planets. Our grill is about eight years old and is still functional after we recently bought a new burner for it. After seeing my brother’s new grill, however, my husband is now scoping out mega-grills as if there

A Man and His Grill........were a real possibility of owning one of them. He’s looking at those L-shaped, wrap-around models that have enough grilling space to cook hot dogs for the entire 82nd Airborne division. In fact, everyone could eat at the same time. We’d have to build a whole new deck to accom-modate this monster-grill. People would come to visit and instead of seeing our beautiful backyard and all the fl owers I planted with painstaking care, they’d say, “Uh…Nice grill.” Of course, if it’s a guy that’s visiting, we’d have to wipe the drool off of it. The automatic switch for lighting our grill stopped working a short time ago. So now my husband is using that for an excuse to buy a new grill. This is a man who would wear a pair of shoes until they literally fall off his feet before he would buy another pair. This is a man who, I am convinced, will try to pay my daughter to elope rather than pay for a big wedding one day. The lighting switch on the grill stops functioning, though, and this man thinks it’s time to pull out all the stops and buy a grill so expensive that the lighting switch would never have the audacity to break; a gas grill that comes with titanium parts, a twenty-year warranty, and a thirty-year mortgage. I looked at this madman and said, “How about I just go out and buy a box of matches?” Dejected, he answered, “Oh alright,” as he kicks an imaginary pebble, “But make sure they are the blue tip ones…And make sure they are the really long ones…And don’t get the cheap ones, because they never light on the fi rst try.” I went out and bought my husband the biggest, longest, most expensive box of matches I could fi nd. Only the best for my man.

“OLD SHOES BECOME UNBEARABLE”

By Cornelia Elmore

Returning to Normalcy? I retired from teaching in 1978. I continue to enjoy re-arranging my home regularly; moving furniture and “stuff” seemingly gives me inspiration. I hope I never, ever have to give up driving because life is monotonous without seeing other people and the beauties of Middle Tennessee here in the U. S. A. As I travel about locally, I always try to come and go using different routes. I am an early riser. For 33 ½ years I have been up at 4:30 a.m. enjoying our beautiful world. I meditate as I travel from swamps to high hills and back to swamps. (I have no reservations about indulging myself with an extended mid-

afternoon nap!) I delighted in our Friday night thunderstorm this week and its 1 ½ inches of rainfall ac-companied by a three hour power outage. In “Home Away From Home” we are studying about Tennessee and its early settlers as well as the Tennesseans who became U. S. President and Governor. We read nursery rhymes that teach us morals and study newspapers to learn about cur-rent events. What is better than investing your retirement years volunteering and working with the youngest of children?

QUOTE“Let us, then, be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; Still

achieving, still pursuing, learn to labour and to wait.”

Garden Thyme With TeeBy Tee Billingsley

I absolutely love my cast iron Dutch oven and skillets. My cast iron is over 30 years old and it’s better than ever! I inherited from my father-in-law who has passed away. I have particular items that I only cook in my cast iron. My husband prepares a pot roast that will melt in your mouth. I attribute its tenderness to the cookware and the slow cooking method. We have a cast iron cookware company right here in Tennessee. It is called Lodge Manufacturing and its located in South Pittsburgh. It is America’s oldest manu-facturer and foundry. The company has many types of cookware for your indoor and outdoor cooking needs. Many of you have cast iron cookware and probably share the same sentiments that I do. Cast iron cookware has been this country’s favorite cookware for over 100 years. It is extremely durable and has wonderful heat retention. If you don’t believe it, try grabbing the handle when you’ve been cooking something very hot! Ouch! I must say that “seasoning” your iron-ware is very important. Original Finish cast iron should be seasoned before using. After washing the pan with warm soapy water, dry with a towel and apply a thin coat of melted shortening and bake on the top rack of a 350 degree oven upside down for about one hour. (Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack to catch any dripping.) Let the cookware cool to room tempera-ture in the oven. Over time the pan will darken to a black patina, a lasting non-stick finish. After using and washing my cast iron, I apply a light coat of shortening before storing it away. This will prevent your iron from rusting. You must remem-ber to never harshly scour your cast iron or wash it in dishwasher. Did you know that Lodge Manufactur-ing has come out with a revolutionary new line of seasoned, ready to use cast iron cookware? The company applies electro-static spray system that evenly coats the entire surface of the iron with a propri-etary vegetable oil prior to the cookware moving into very hot industrial gas oven. The high temperature allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the cast iron surface creating that prized heirloom finish. It may not stop squabbles over the benefi-

Cast Iron Cooking: From Generation to Generation

Despite the unfavorable weather, Jesse Rigsby has proven to be the King of Cucumbers this year. In addition to his regular baskets, Jesse has cucumbers on the garden fence. Jesse supplied his greater family and still had enough to share with me. I canned twenty-nine jars of pickles. My visiting grandchildren from Miami ate cold, crispy cucumbers the size of my thumb and thought they were better than apples.Remember to do the following in your garden now:· Rake leaves and begin the compost pile. Combine four inches of leaves, four inches of manure, and two inches of grass or veggie scraps. I put the mixture on my vegetable garden and let it decompose there. I also have a compost pile for my fl owers that I made by wrapping chicken wire around the bases of four trees situated in something like a square. · Scratch in balanced fertilizer around roses for more blooms in October.· Keep dying leaves and limbs pruned from roses.· Cut back Veronica and catmint to have new blooms in October.· Spray Thiodan on peaches, plums, and nectarines to kill borers.· Scatter canterbury bell seeds in your fl ower bed and cover lightly. Then, scatter foxglove, goat‛s beard,

columbine, larkspur, and honesty plant seed on top of the canterbury seeds, but do not cover these to get an English garden look.· Cut Annabelle hydrangea stems that have blooms to dry for the fall. This hydrangea does well in full sun if you keep it watered.· Water any hydrangea that is wilted in the morning. I have all four types of hydrangeas. The panicle (Pee Gee) is tolerating the drought better than the others are.· Water with a water-soluble fertilizer like Peters or Grandma‛s tonic. This helps during a drought by putting food right in the leaves.· Groom tomatoes of all yellow leaves. Fertilize with 15-15-15 around the base to get more tomatoes until October.· Pot some of your peppers and tomatoes in fi ve-gallon buckets. Put in a sunny place to have fresh peppers and tomatoes later in the winter.· Leave questions for me in Eagleville Times drop box at Ralston‛s Antique Shop.

ciary of the family’s cast iron cookware, but it does eliminate the time and effort of seasoning cast iron. When my family goes camping we al-ways take my Dutch oven. You can prepare beans, stews, cobbler, biscuits, and many various food items in the oven right over the coals. I do suggest that you read up on this method as it does take some practice, as the coals tend to be really hot. You can purchase cookbooks just for Dutch oven cooking and they are really helpful. As I leave you now, I will include a recipe for biscuits cooked outdoors in a Dutch oven. I wish you Good Luck and Happy Cooking!

DUTCH OVEN BISCUITSThis is quick and easy to make. The dry ingredients can be combined with shorten-ing ahead of time and taken to camp in a plastic bag. When ready just combine the milk and bake. You can also make this in your own oven.4 cups all purpose flour2 tbsp. Baking Powder4 tbsp. Sugar1 tsp. Baking Soda½ tsp. Salt1 cup Shortening or Lard 1 ½ cups Milk or ButtermilkCombine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening or lard until it resembles course corn meal. Stir in milk and knead 10 times on cutting board. Let the dough rest for a few minutes. Lightly flour cutting board surface and roll dough 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, dip cutter in flour and cut straight down thru dough (DO NOT TWIST CUTTER). Place biscuit on baking sheet pan if using oven or set aside until Dutch Oven is hot. Continue cutting biscuits, re-shaping dough as needed.Pre-heat a Dutch Oven and the Dutch Oven Top until hot (350 degrees), quickly add biscuits into greased Dutch Oven and cover. Place 7 coals on bottom and 14 coals on top and bake for 10 minutes. Quickly remove biscuits from Dutch Oven and serve.

3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup light brown sugar 1 1/8 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 cups rolled oats (not instant) 1 1/2 cups all-purpose fl our 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 cups raisins

Grandparents are our heritage. We have an opportunity to spend some time with your grandparent or your “adopted” grandparent. You can have fun and create a project together that spotlights their life!

In 1970, a West Virginia housewife with 15 children, Marian Lucille Herndon Mc-Quade, initiated a campaign to set aside a special day just for Grandparents. In 1973, the governor of West Virginia proclaimed the state’s fi rst Grandparents Day. Five years later in 1978, the United States Congress passed legislations proclaiming the fi rst Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. Mrs. McQuade’s primary motivation was to make sure that elderly people in nursing homes weren’t lonely. She wanted to persuade grandchildren and people to tap into the wisdom and heritage that their grandparents could provide.

The Wizard of Id by Brant Parker and Johnny Hart

There was a blind girl who hated her-self because she was blind.She hated everyone, except her lov-ing boyfriend. He was always there for her.She told her boyfriend, “If I could only see the world, I will marry you.”One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, She was able to see every-thing, including her boyfriend.He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situ-ations.**Life Is a Gift**Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of some-one who has nothing to eat.Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of some-one who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn’t clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.And when you are tired and com-plain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.But before you think of pointing the fi nger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER.And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you’re alive and still around.
