No one in attendance seemed more thrilled than Superin- tendent Jamie Chapman. “Thank the Good Lord it’s over,” Chapman said. And as he told the Herald later, “This was a victory for the children of Pickens County.” With the implementation of the tax increase, the Board has projected to gain an additional $900,000 per year to help supplement the ever-increasing costs of education in Pickens County. Chapman said the best case scenario for the tax to actually begin being implemented is August 1. “We’ll be lucky to get four months out of this year,” Chapman said. The initial plan for the money coming in from the tax is to create a one-month operating reserve as a safety net for the Board. “We need to take a strong look at one-month’s operating funds,” Chapman said. “That’s our first obligation. Chapman said if the Board doesn’t want the state to come in and remedy the current situation in the school system, hav- ing that one-month’s reserve fund would be the first step.

Mayberry tribute artist Allan Newsome, posing as Floyd the Barber, offered to give the Governor a haircut before he spoke, but Mayor Patterson cautioned him not to accept as he had already tackled Patterson’s bald head. Bentley also met another Mayberry tribute artist Christie McLendon, who portrays Andylina Darling (the daughter of Charlene Darling from The Andy Griffith Show), who mugged for the cameras with the Governor. He joked with her, “You look better in person that you do on camera,” and then added, “but so do I.” On stage, Bentley said he has been to Mule Day many times before in the past 10 or 15 years, but it was probably to visit Gordo and see many of his former Pickens County dermatology patients. Bentley commended the town for what it does for this part of West Alabama, and he thanked the audience for its support. “This is one of my favorite parts of the state. I think it’s home.” The only political talk Bentley engaged in was to mention the four-laning of Highway 82. He said he wants the Alabama Depart- ment of Transportation to have the highway four-laned all the way to Columbus, Miss. “before I get out of office.” Bentley spent the next couple of hours signing autographs and posing for pictures with the crowd. CITIZEN OF THE YEAR Rusty Adams of the Gordo Chamber pre- sented the Citizen of the Year award to Mayor Patterson. Adams noted Patterson arrived in Gordo in June of 1994. “He came here with the knowledge that Gordo was a special place ... a place to raise a family, a place to become part of a strong community family, and a place to create a haven where people feel comfortable to drink coffee and browse for books at the local book store.” Patterson was born into a family of two Christian parents, a brother and a sister on Dec. 14, 1961. He attended several schools in Tuscaloosa before graduating from Central High School in 1980. He then went on to at- tend Shelton State Community College where he stayed for a year before entering the U.S. Navy. Patterson went to boot camp in San Diego, Cal. and then to Gulfport, Miss for “A” School. Patterson returned to Shelton to finish his data processing/computer pro- gramming degree and moved into his grand- parents’ old home place in Tuscaloosa County. Patterson held many different jobs during the time he was in school, from working at a gas station to helping the City of Tuscaloosa put together the first garbage carts. He also worked at Harco Central Drug, Gayfers De- partment Store and Alabama Institutional Foods. Patterson married the love of his life, Robin Tilley, in June of 1983. He continued to work at Alabama Institutional Foods and continued to live in his grandparents’ house after his marriage. In 1984, Patterson took the civil service test for the City of Northport. In January 1985 he was hired and sent to the Al- abama Fire College in which he finished in May. Patterson was blessed with his first son Cory, who was born in 1985.

Patterson, Junkin, Burkhalter honored(Continued from Page 1)later, after moving to the Holman commu-
nity (with a Gordo address), he was blessedwith his second son, Drew Thomas.
Cory played littled league baseball inGordo, so Patterson and his family met manypeople from Gordo. The Pattersons were im-pressed with the people they met in Gordoand decided to raise their children in thiswonderful community. They wanted theirchildren to attend school in Gordo and be-come Greenwaves. The Pattersons joined thechurch, his wife became a substitute teacher,and the boys became students at Gordo.
Patterson tried two times to run for a po-sition on the Gordo Town Council. As fatewould have it, after two close election losses,he was appointed to the council after a tragicevent. After serving on the council, Pattersonran for Mayor of Gordo and won in 2008. Hewas retired from the Navy Reserves with therank of Chief Petty Officer and from beingFire Chief in Northport, and here was startinga new adventure. In 2012, the people ofGordo reelected Patterson as the mayor onceagain.
Along with the role as mayor, Pattersonhas fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning hisown book store, Starboard Rail Books. Hislove of reading was instilled in him by his fa-ther who taught him to love westerns writtenby Louis L’Amour. He has always been a col-lector of books, and now he is able to sharethis love of books with this communitythrough his bookstore. Patterson values theopportunity the bookstore gives him to sharethe love of reading with others.
“Patterson is a true asset to Gordo. He is atrue family man who was delighted with hisson Cory and daughter-in-law Andrea pre-senting him with a granddaughter GabbyMac in which he receive a new name, Pop,”said Adams.
Adams concluded, “He is also a true com-munity leader, supporter and participant. Youwill see him at school events, running aroundtown, at meetings, cooking for the GHShome baseball games (for the past 11 years),and maybe even driving a garbage truck. Butwhatever you see him doing, rest assure it isto make Gordo an even better place, andknow that it is done with true love for a town
that is as special as its mayor.”In accepting the award, Patterson said,
“There are a lot more deserving people in thecrowd. I appreciate it. There’s not a betterplace than Gordo.” He said he knows a lot ofpeople who were born in Gordo, but he wasone of the lucky ones “who found it.”
Mayor pro tem Tim Washington presentedPatterson with a resolution passed by StateRep. Alan Harper in the Alabama House ofRepresentatives. Washington also presentedthe Mayor with a resolution naming June 6as Craig Patterson Citizen of the Year Day inGordo.
PIONEER OF THE YEARDistrict Attorney Chris McCool presented
the Pioneer of the Year award to Junkin. Mc-Cool began by quoting Proverbs 22:29 “Seestthou a man diligent in his business?”
He said the honoree has been diligent hiswhole life, is now 93 years old and is part ofthe Greatest Generation. Junkin was bornJan. 18, 1921 to Arthur and Martha “Matt”Junkin in the Zion community, the middle offive children. He grew up during the GreatDepression, attending Zion School and grad-uated from Gordo High School in 1942.
Since World War II was going on, he wentto join the Army but was turned down due tolimited eyesight in his right eye from a child-hood injury. Two weeks later, he was draftedfor limited service and served his country atFort Oglethorpe, Ga. He was honorably dis-charged from the Army in April 1946.
Junkin was married to Clara Mae Stine onMay 10, 1943. They were married 69 yearsat the time of her death in 2012. They boughta farm in the Zion community and beganfarming and started their family. He was oneof the first poultry farmers for Herman Hick-man (who later founded Peco Foods). In Au-gust of 1956 we went to work at BryceHospital where he worked for 26 years beforehis retirement in 1982.
The Junkins had four children--ClermonJunkin, Glendon Junkin, Melba Junkin Mont-gomery and Sherry Junkin Stephens--and sixgrandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
After his retirement, he and Clara Mae en-joyed traveling with the Pickens CountyAARP and the LLL Club. They were able tovisit 48 states. He continues to farm and en-
joys his small number of cattle. He is wellknown for his gardening abilities, and at theage of 93 still wants to raise enough crops tobe able to give some to the “widow womenand old folks” in the community.
Junkin is active in the American Legion,Pickens County Cattlemen’s Association, andAlabama Retired State Employees’ Associa-tion. He joined the Gordo Masonic Lodge in1957, earning his EA and MA degrees by Oc-tober 1957. In 2007 he earned his 50-yearpin. He now holds the office of Tiler.
Junkin is a long-time poll worker, servingat the Fairview/Zion precinct. He volunteeredas a guide for several years at the Tom BevillLock and Dam. He helped build the newDouble Branch Independent Baptist Churchwhere he was a member and deacon for sev-eral years. He now enjoys attending ZionPrimitive Baptist Church.
Junin has been a regular participant atMule Day since its inception. He looks for-ward to driving his tractor in the parade everyyear. He also thoroughly enjoys country andbluegrass music, and can sit and listen to itfor hours, especially if there is a fiddle in theband.
On a person note, McCool said last fall hisdoorbell rang and there was Junkin, bringinghim a pot of brunswick stew he had boughtin Reform. “He’s always giving to people.We ought to be the one giving to him,” saidMcCool. Even though h is 93, he “has theheart of a 15-year-old.” said McCool.
In accepting the award, Junkin said it wascompletely unexpected. “Thank you, thankyou, thank you.”
Mayor pro tem Washington presentedJunkin with a resolution passed by State Rep.Alan Harper in the Alabama House, and aresolution naming June 6 as Oliver Junkin Pi-oneer of the Year Day in Gordo.
ROBERTSON AWARD WINNERGene Burkhalter was presented the Cecil
Robertson Memorial Award by PeggyRobertson, widow of the late Cecil Robert-son, one of the founders of Mule Day.
Burkhalter was presented the award forhis long-time unselfish and loyal service toMule Day/Chickenfest. He has photographedand videotaped the event for over 20 years,almost from the beginning.
“This is a shock; I wasn’t expecting any-thing like this,” said Burkhalter.
Emcee Junkin joked with Burkhalter andasked him if he still waterskis barefoot, andBurkhalter said he hasn’t done so since his80th birthday, when he skied for four miles.
PARADE WINNERSWinners of the Saturday parade of mule-
and horse-drawn wagons were John Hardy ofReform, first place; Dale Baines of Gordo,second place; and Wayne and Patsy Cham-pion of Fayette, third place. The wagonwhich came the farthest distance was JohnnySullivan of Winfield.

However,Browning said Cowart knewwhat was best to do for hisoffice. Ezelle agreed, but headded that the building be-longs to the Commission.
After more discussion, theCommission felt the carpetshould be replaced.
Mrs. Bowles said theCommission chambers wasone of the few rooms whichdid not have damage to thewalls, but if the other roomsare going to be painted, sheasked the commissioners ifthey wanted to paint theirchambers too. After somediscussion, they agreed to seeif the contractor will includepainting the council cham-bers.

Secretary of State Jim Bennett said the first election usingthe new photo voter ID law at the polls was a great start tothe implementation of the program. Of the over 600,000 vot-ers that came to the polls on June 3rd, his office has only re-ceived only a few calls concerning issues with the new law.
“There were some calls and concerns but nothing that can-not be fixed with educational outreach which we plan to con-tinue before the July run-off and the November generalelection,” Bennett said. “All in all, we believe the programworked and our efforts to ensure that those who needed a freephoto voter ID card had the opportunity to receive one werepositive.”
Bennett said that certain groups have pointed out in newsarticles some instances of people being “turned away” fromthe polls for lack of photo ID. In fact, Bennett said, suchpersons under the law would not be turned away and must beoffered a provisional ballot which is what the law requires ifthe proper photo ID is not produced.
“Certainly we regret any time that a voter is not able tocast a regular ballot. However, there are provisions in the lawfor someone who does not have an acceptable form of photoID to vote,” he added.
Bennett said that every voter also has the opportunity togo to their local Board of Registrars even on Election Day toreceive a free photo voter ID.
“We have met and worked with various groups like theNAACP since the beginning of the implementation processand they have been helpful in getting the word out about thenew photo voter ID requirement,” he added. “We also con-ducted an extensive media campaign to inform voters andmade 93 stops with mobile photo units travelling 12,000miles around the state.”
Bennett said another way a voter without a photo ID canvote a regular ballot would be if the voter could be positivelyidentified by two election workers. This portion of the lawhas been called into question by some groups recently.
“This is a failsafe system pre-cleared by the Justice De-partment back in 2003,” Bennett added. “It was adopted as ameans to help citizens living in rural areas where most peopleknow one another.”
The system was put in place when Nancy Worley, the cur-rent state Democratic Party chairman, was secretary of state.
Bennett said some people see racial motivations behind
Bennett: Photo ID offto a good start at polls
Inside the StatehouseBy Steve FlowersThere is an old adage that says the more things change the
more they remain the same. This is certainly apropos for thisyear’s primary elections.
On election night, I kept looking for some upset or sur-prise. It was not forthcoming. Essentially every incumbentwon reelection, especially when it came to State Senate andHouse races.
The Legislature is where the power is in state government.There is a valid political maxim that says the Governor pro-poses but the Legislature disposes. The Legislature is wherethe rubber meets the road.
Despite the low voter turnout on June 3, the polling wasright on the money. The polling going into Election Day re-vealed that the incumbents were going to be reelected andthat is what happened. Therefore, the status quo will prevail.You will have a very conservative pro business super major-ity Republican Senate. There will more than likely be a 24to 10 Republican majority in the upper chamber.
The pro business groups snuffed out every challengebrought by the Alabama Education Association. The AEAwill not only find themselves in an even more tenuous posi-tion, but they will have a bevy of Senators with their sightsset on strident retribution towards the teachers’ union.
President Pro Tem Del Marsh of Anniston easily defeateda challenger financed by AEA. A ton of money was lost mak-ing the Pro Tem angry. Marsh won 60 to 40.
Popular veteran Wiregrass Senator Jimmy Holley alsocrushed his AEA selected and financed opponent by the same60 to 40 margin.
AEA bet heavily on State Rep. Todd Greeson to win anopen State Senate seat in northwest Alabama. However, busi-nessman Steve Livingston won the Senate seat 56 to 44.
Two east Alabama incumbent Senators were targeted butprevailed. Tom Whatley turned back Andy Carter 53 to 47and Gerald Dial survived a close call 51 to 49.
State Rep. Dr. Jim McClendon trounced incumbent JerryFielding 63 to 37 in a redrawn Senate seat in St. Clair andTalladega Counties. McClendon carved the seat out in reap-portionment to enhance his chances to move to the Senateand also to give a Senate seat to growing St. Clair County.
All of these aforementioned Senate races were decidedwithin the Republican Primary. Three new Republican Sen-
ators will be chosen on July15. There will be runoffs inthree open Senate seats. ShayShelnutt and Brett King willsquare off in a runoff in Sen-ate Seat 17 in Jefferson andBlount Counties. They led aseven-person field to takeScott Beason’s place in theSenate.
The southwest AlabamaSenate Seat 22 being vacated by Marc Keahey will be pickedup by a Republican. Harry D’Olive and Greg Albritton willfaceoff in a runoff after emerging from a five-person field.
Clyde Chambliss of Autauga County and Harris Garnerof Elmore County are headed for a runoff in the open SenateSeat 30 north of Montgomery. It is one of the most Republi-can districts in the state.
The AEA tried to knock off Speaker of the House MikeHubbard in his Lee County House seat. Hubbard won his dis-trict by a 60 to 40 margin even with over $300,000 spentagainst him.
However, the AEA can claim some solace in the House.They defeated six of Hubbard’s allies in the House of Rep-resentatives. This should give them some traction in thatbody.
There was also a victory for those of you who lament neg-ative advertising. In the 6th District Congressional race twoof the six well-financed candidates saw polling that indicatedthat Paul DeMarco was going to make the runoff and thatthey needed to attack each other in order to finish second andsecure a spot in the runoff with DeMarco. Will Brooke andChad Mathis trashed each other with fervor. Their fight al-lowed positive campaigner Gary Palmer to make the runoff.Mathis and Brooke finished fourth and fifth, respectively.The rest of the story will be told on July 15.
See you next week.

Dear Editor,Mayberry characters have
moved to Carrollton, Ala-bama and are alive and well.It is amazing to me that thenational media has not had afield day covering the localpolitics and events that sur-round them.
First, our mayor’s racewas embarrassing with eachcandidate being arrested fordestroying each other’s signs,and the cases being thrownout with no one found guilty.
Second, the Town of Car-rollton voted to go wet, andthe council approved an alco-hol ordinance so no existingbusiness could qualify to geta license except for one thatchose not to sell beverages.The ordinance from Fayette,Alabama was the exampleour town went by with theircity limits at least five ormore times the corporate lim-its of Carrollton, so this wasa slam dunk no alcoholwould be sold.
Third, I asked the mayorabout the rumors that Car-rollton Food Mart was clos-ing due to lack of businessand that Mr. Victor Patel saidhe needed to sell alcohol tostay in business. The mayorsaid the budget was stretched
and their closure would put ahamper on the budget. Themayor also said Alicevillewas laughing at Carrolltonfor losing all the tax moneyby not selling alcohol. A votewas coming. And, as the re-scinded minutes stated, “it isabout revenue.”
Fourth, as to the article inthe Pickens County Heralddated June 11, 2014, the townhas now rescinded the vote ofthe May 1 amendment. Myobjection to this is that if thecouncil was going to amendthe alcohol ordinance, whythey did not consult thetown’s attorney for a legalopinion before the May 1meeting?
Even though the intent ofthe council’s vote was toallow the sale, there was aguess at the distance fromwhich a business could sellthe beverages. This in itselfshows an inability to think;rather, it was an action thatwas just a reaction to pass theamendment. Now, the town’sattorney is giving an opinionafter the fact, and his silenceis extremely deafening to methat he was silent during thefirst meeting unless he wasnot asked to render an opin-ion prior to the May 1
agenda.First on the list is that now
there might be litigationagainst the Town of Carroll-ton as reported in the PickensCounty Herald. When deal-ing with situations in our na-tion’s culture today, it takestime and careful planning in-stead of a motion, a vote, andthen go backwards on youraction at the next meeting be-cause the “A” word is spokenin Carrollton, causing afirestorm as the paper calls it.
If the town settles a law-suit, then the insurance willgo up. If the town loses thelawsuit, then the citizens willface additional taxes to payoff the judgment. If the De-partment of Justice becomesinvolved, then we will be la-beled as a hateful town andwill probably pay out abunch of money this towndoes not have.
If Mr. Patel closes thestore, there will be the unfor-tunate that will suffer by notbeing able to get out of townto buy groceries. Will theself-righteous folks that arethe firestorm give of their re-sources and time to take themout of town to buy groceries?I doubt it. As my grandfatherwould pray, “Lord, please de-liver us from the self-right-eous Christians.”
Last, the Pastor of Carroll-ton United MethodistChurch, Donnie Patterson,whose name has been men-tioned by this paper, and tomy knowledge, they have notasked for his side of the story.This reminds me of the na-tional media. I know somewill question my Christianityfor writing this letter, but Iworry now, for God knowsmy heart, and I try to pleaseGod and not people.
I see an injustice, and I amspeaking out about it, notonly for Mr. Patel, but for thecitizens of Carrollton. Thank-fully, I go to a church thatdoes not condemn others fortheir decisions, right orwrong, but is a church that isfull of God’s Grace.
The real firestorm may bearound the bend if Mr. Patelelects to exercise his rights.
Charles B. Quarles Jr.Carrollton, AL

This winner of eight TonyAwards, including Best Mu-sical, is family-friendly andpiled bouffant-high withlaughter, romance, and deliri-ously tuneful songs. It's1962 in Baltimore, and thelovable teen Tracy Turnbladhas only one desire – todance on the popular CornyCollins Show. When herdream comes true, Tracy istransformed from social out-cast to sudden star.

Directing this productionof Hairspray is University ofAlabama alumnus and cur-rent New York residentMichael Thomas Walker.Theatre Tuscaloosa Execu-tive Producer Tina Turleysaid she is excited to seeHairspray come togetherunder Walker’s guidance.
“I had the pleasure ofteaching Michael when hewas in college, and last Jan-uary he performed his one-man show Bubba as a part ofour SecondStage program,”Turley said. “I am thrilled tohave him back this summerto direct Hairspray.”
After graduating from TheUniversity of Alabama with aBachelor of Arts in Theatre,Walker moved to New YorkCity.

Walker said audiencesshould expect an exciting andhilarious musical comedy
with a message.“Hairspray is set in the
1960s, but it’s still relevant intoday’s society. The songsare catchy, the dance num-bers are big, and there are alot of humorous moments,but it also speaks about is-sues that are important rightnow such as bullying, iden-tity, segregation and racism,”Walker said.

Practical ChristianityThe Gospel: Light or Life?
By Elder Tim McCoolPastor, Bethlehem Prim-
itive Baptist ChurchDoes the gospel cause a
person to get eternal life? Ordoes it serve to bring “light”to the born again child ofGod?
The reason this is impor-tant has to do with givingcredit where credit is due. Ifthe Lord says He is the Life-Giver (which He is), then thegospel doesn’t serve to givelife. But it does serve atremendous purpose in thelife of the child of God.
Here is what the Biblesays is the purpose of thegospel: 2 Tim. 1:10 …Christ,who hath abolished death,and hath brought life and im-mortality to light through thegospel…” Notice the lan-guage. It does not say that weare brought “life” through thegospel. No, it says we arebrought “light” through thegospel. What is the differ-ence?
The other night there wasa tremendous electricalstorm. I stood on the frontporch and took multiple pic-tures of lightning strikes inthe distance. It was reallybeautiful. It is hard to time apicture just right to catch astrike. One picture I took wasat the exact moment of astrike. It was dark while thiswas happening, but that onepicture was so bright (be-cause of the LIGHT of thelightning) it looked like day-time. I showed the picture to
some people and it was sobright in contrast to the pic-tures all around it, that theyactually thought I insertedthat picture!
But it was not inserted, itwas just good timing. Sowhat did the lightning do? Itmerely lit up the darkness.The buildings were alreadythere. The sky was alreadythere. The trees were there.The lightning did not placeany of those things there. Itjust illuminated what was al-ready there. That is the waythe gospel works – it isLIGHT, not life. The light ofthe gospel shows the child ofGod what is already there.
Take these two examples.Cornelius, the Roman Centu-rion of Acts 10, was a bornagain child of God. The Lordhad already cleansed, orborned him again (Acts 10:2-3, 15). So what did Peter dowhen he came down? Cor-nelius needed light, not life.He already had life. So Peterput some lightning in his life!Peter saw the spiritual life
that was already there (Acts10:34-37). What did thatborn again child of God do?He walked in the light andwas baptized.
Consider Saul, who be-came known as Paul theApostle. In Acts 9 we findhim on the road to Damascusto persecute and kill Chris-tians! But Jesus gave HimLIFE by penetrating Hisheart and borning Him again.Paul wasn’t asking Jesus tocome in or inviting Him tosave him. Jesus just did it!No help from us, no helpfrom man, no help fromPaul’s Mom or Dad. Jesusgave Him life.
Then what happened?Paul needed LIGHT after Hewas given LIFE. He said,“Who are thou Lord?” In thissituation, Jesus Himself gavePaul light! “I am Jesus whomthou persecutest…” That wassome revelation of light forPaul! The very One he wasworking against was the Onethat gave Him life! ThenJesus gives light. He tellsPaul to go and wait for an-other preacher (Ananias) tocome along and tell him whatto do. Three days later Paulwas baptized.
The gospel is the greatlight for the child of God.The Lord is the Life-Giver.May we give credit wherecredit is due. The Lord givesthe life, then we preach thelight to tell His children whatis happening! And that lightis powerful like a lightningstrike.
Solidarity with the SaviorThrough Worship
By Minister Alfred J.Cooper
Shady Grove MissionaryBaptist Church, Aliceville
Make no mistake, mybrothers and sisters, about theimportance of Christian edu-cation or its accuracy as it isshared with those who seekto know Jesus more fully andto live for Him better. We arechallenged to make the un-known common by means ofthe known. We must teach tochange lives. Our teachingmust be intentional, empow-ering our charges to modifytheir behavior and creating athirst for more. We mustcome before them full andtaught by the Holy Spirit our-selves.
In the field of ChristianEducation, we are allowed avery narrow margin for error,so we must be well studied.
•A doctor’s mistake isburied.
•A lawyer’s mistake is im-prisoned.
•An accountant’s mistakeis written off.
•A dentist’s mistake ispulled.
•A plumber’s mistake isstopped.
•An electrician’s mistakeis shocked.
•A printer’s mistake isreprinted.
*But a teacher’s mistakeis never erased.
Other professions are al-lowed errors but ours can lasta lifetime and have eternalconsequences.
The subject before us is“Solidarity with the SaviorThrough Worship.” It is in-cumbent upon us to rightlydivide the Word when itcomes to defining worship.The church today has al-lowed the worshipper’s tasteto characterize worship. Somany congregants have ac-quired a Burger King mental-ity when it comes to worshippreferences... “have it yourway”... “traditional” vs.“contemporary.” The churchof the living God now catersto whims of the culture... noteven sacred songs will do. Ifby chance we sing one...it hasto be a remix with a worldlybeat.
Some have preached andnot shared one Scripture ormentioned God, yet sanctuar-
ies are filled with thousandsand they call the gatheringworship.
But what disturbs memore than our style of wor-ship is the worshipper and hisperspective of what true wor-ship is. In John 4:23, Jesusreplied, “the time is coming_indeed it’s here now_ whentrue worshippers will wor-ship the Father in spirit and intruth.” So I ask, Are we trueworshippers or backsliders?“...true worshippers will wor-ship the Father in spirit and intruth.”
There is a question be-fore us... “Are We True Wor-shippers or Backsliders?” Forthere to be “Solidarity withthe Savior Through Our Wor-ship”, we must probe the an-swer to the ensuing questionof being true worshippers orbacksliders.
There is much today thatseparates God’s people whenit comes to corporate worshipas it did the Gentiles andJews; barriers that divide usfrom other Christians: age,race, appearance, economicand educational status, theo-logical perspective, andmore. We hinder the love ofChrist because we arefriendly only with those welike. But Christ removed thebarriers and united all believ-ers in one family. The crossshould be the focal point ofour unity; and by the aid ofthe Holy Spirit we must lookbeyond the barriers to theunity we are called to enjoy.
If we are to be in union (atoneness) with the interest,purposes and fellowship ofresponsibilities with the Sav-ior we must answer the ques-tion...are we true worshippersor backsliders? To answerthis question we must knowtwo things...who we worshipand what worship is.
In Luke 9:18-27 a dia-logue commenced betweenJesus and his disciples, as towho he was. Away from thecrowds he asked them, “Whodo people say I am?” “Well,”they replied, some say Johnthe Baptist, some say Elijah,and others say you are one ofthe other ancient prophets,risen from the dead. Then heasked them, “But who do yousay I am?” Peter replied,“You are the Messiah sentfrom God!” (“The Christ ofGod.” “Thou art the Christ,the Son of the living God.”)
I ask now, do you knowwho he is? Since this amonologue instead of a dia-logue, may I tell you who heis?
He is the Son of man, whosuffered many terrible things.He was rejected by the eld-ers, the leading priests, andthe teachers of the law. Hewas killed, but on the thirdday he was raised from thedead.
If you’re going to havesolidarity with the Saviorthrough your worship,you’ve got to know who heis! He’s the one who said, “Ifyou want to be my disciple,you must turn from your self-ish ways, take up your crossdaily, and follow me.”
He’s the one who said, “Ifyou try to hang on to yourlife, you will lose it.” Who ishe? He’s the one who taughtus about the value of oursouls through a question...And what do you benefit ifyou gain the whole world butare yourself lost or de-stroyed?
He is the one who warned,If anyone is ashamed of meand my message, the Son ofMan will be ashamed of thatperson when he returns in theglory of the Father and theholy angels.
If there is to be common-ality with the Savior in ourworship we must know whohe is.
Secondly, we must knowwhat worship is! Worship isany action or attitude that ex-presses praise, love, and ap-preciation for God. Worshipcan be expressed throughobedience. To be a true wor-shipper you must be obedi-ent. There was a trial goingon in the Old Testament bookof Micah, chapter six. The

(Continued from Page 9)Lord was making his case against Israel. What have I doneto make you tired of me? Answer me! said the Lord (v. 3).And you ask...What can we bring to the Lord? What kind ofofferings should we give to him? Should we bow before Godwith offerings of young calves? Should we sacrifice our firstborn children to pay for our sins? (v. 6, 7) Verse 8 is the an-swer, “No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, andthis is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to lovemercy, and to walk humbly with your God.”
If we expect to have solidarity with the Savior throughour worship...we must know what worship is; which is to dowhat he said. Worship is expressed through obedience. It isalso expressed through the way we treat people. In Matthew25, Jesus tells of the final judgment, wherein the Son of Mancomes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he willsit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gatheredunto him and he will separate the people as a shepherd sep-arates the sheep from the goats. Remember now, worship isexpressed in how we treat people.

Board elated over passage of school tax(Continued from Page 1)
Members of the board were overwhelm-ingly appreciative of Chapman and everyoneinvolved in making the tax increase a reality.
Board Chairman Nick Tolstick was thefirst to speak up and said, “I would like tothank Mr. Chapman and his staff for whatthey did.”
Board Member Debbie Holley alsopraised Chapman by saying, “I appreciateyour leadership.”
Board Member Michael Hinton thankedthe voters, both those who voted in favor ofthe tax increase and those who didn’t, fortheir participation in making it happen.
Also thankful to the voters was Boardmember Annie Jackson who said, “Kudos tothe board. We put the truth out there for thepeople. Everybody has their right to vote, andthanks to those who did and didn’t.”
Board Member LaSonja Richardson of-fered perhaps the most enthusiastic responseby saying, “I’m thrilled to death. It is imper-ative that we invest in our children, and thisis a step in the right direction.”
Chapman said efforts to extend the tax’spurpose to as many people as possible bene-fitted the cause.
“We wanted to reach everyone in thecounty,” Chapman said. “We’ve been open,and we appreciate the trust and listening towhat we tell [residents]. The vote said a lotof things, but I think it shows they trust us.”
He also ensured those in attendance thatthe Board will remain “accountable andtransparent” with the tax funds.
CAREER TECH CENTERA portion of that tax revenue will be used
to assist in the revamping of a career techni-cal education center at LaDow, currently thelocation of the Central Office.
One of the first issues the Board faces withthe center, currently scheduled to open in Au-gust, is what it will actually be named.
“We definitely need a new name,” Holleysaid.
Chapman discussed the policy related toassigning a name to a specific building orschool as a whole, which states, “When aschool is to be named, the Board will providean opportunity for comments and recommen-
dations from citizens, Board members andschool personnel.”
For right now, Chapman said that theBoard will advertise that the center will beopened, but will take input and do what heand the Board think is best in terms of nam-ing it.
Also discussed in the meeting were bidsfor training equipment to be housed at thecenter. Career Technical Education DirectorAlma Somerville went over bids that theboard had received for several pieces of train-ing equipment, like mechanical drives sys-tems and electric motor control systems.Rather than having to purchase 11 types ofequipment, some of them were able to per-form more than one task and only nine dif-ferent types were needed.
The Board approved Ms. Somerville’s bidrecommendations, and are hoping that thepurchases help spur a potential career techpartnership with Bevill State CommunityCollege.
EMPLOYEE SCREENINGAlso on the agenda was a discussion of a
new employee screening service to use forBoard employees, including long-term vol-unteers.
Chapman said that using EmploymentScreening Services, or ESS, to do back-ground checks and other screening tasks onpotential employees, including volunteers,could end up being a cheaper, although stilleffective, method.
“This is a safety net for us,” said ChapmanA list of employees and long-term volun-
teers, such as volunteer coaches, will be com-piled by the principal of each individualschool; these lists will then be sent to theBoard, and the Superintendent will then makerecommendations on who should be screenedfor background checks and other criteriathough ESS.
Board member Jackson said the screeningmethod is one of many ways to help ensurethat the children in our schools are protected.

Aberdeen Lock to be named for WaldonCOLUMBUS, MS--The
U.S. Congress has recog-nized Don Waldon, a formerAdministrator of the Ten-nessee-Tombigbee WaterwayDevelopment Authority, anda long-time proponent of the
waterway by renaming oneof its locks and dams in hishonor.
The legislation was spon-sored by CongressmanRobert Aderholt of Alabamaand Senator Roger Wicker(MS), with support from Sen-ators Thad Cochran (MS)and Jeff Sessions (AL), itwas included in the WaterResources Reform and De-velopment Act of 2014 thatwas signed by the Presidenton Tuesday, June 10.
The law states: “It is thesense of Congress that, at anappropriate time in accor-dance with the rules of theSenate and the House of Rep-resentatives, to recognize thecontributions of Donald G.Waldon, whose selfless de-termination and tirelesswork, while serving as ad-ministrator of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway for 21years, contributed greatly to
the realization and success ofthe Tennessee-TombigbeeWaterway DevelopmentCompact, that the lock anddam located at mile 357.5 onthe Tennessee-TombigbeeWaterway should be knownand designated as the Don-ald G. Waldon Lock andDam.”
The designated lock anddam is the Aberdeen Lockand Dam, one of 10 locks onthe waterway. The lakeformed by these structureswill continue to be called Ab-erdeen Lake.
“I congratulate my goodfriend, Don Waldon, on thisachievement and commendhis many years of service anddedication to the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.” Sen-ator Roger Wicker said.“This is an honor befitting alongtime public servant whohas contributed so much tocommunities throughout the
South.“Don Waldon dedicated
his career to the efficient andeffective operation of theTenn-Tom, and we’re all bet-ter off for those efforts. Theinland waterway is an eco-nomic asset for Mississippithat continues to foster eco-nomic opportunities through-out the region,” said SenatorThad Cochran.
Waldon served as Admin-istrator of the waterway’s de-velopment authority from1984 until he retired in 2005.He joined the four-stateagency in 1975, the first fouryears on loan from the fed-eral government and later asits deputy administrator.Waldon was Deputy Assis-tant Secretary for the U.S.Department of the Interiorduring the Nixon-Ford ad-ministration and earlier was aPrincipal Budget Examinerin the Office of Management
and Budget of the ExecutiveOffice of the President. Hebegan his career as a CivilEngineer with the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers in Mo-bile, Alabama, focusing onwater resources develop-ment.
“Having spent many yearsof my career involved withthe Tenn-Tom there is not amore personal honor I couldreceive than to have myname associated with thisgreat project that is so impor-tant to the economic well-being of this region and thenation”, said Waldon. “WhenI joined the Tenn-Tom, con-struction was less than one-half completed and Iwitnessed the engineering,legal, and political challengesto complete the waterway, atthat time the largest and mostcomplex water resourcesproject ever built by theCorps of Engineers. I later
had the privilege of leadingthe four-state compact’s ef-forts to promote and developTenn-Tom’s economic, trade,recreation, and tourism po-tential. During those decades,I can name many individualswho helped the waterway re-alize the success it hasachieved. They certainly de-serve as much or more thanme this kind of recognitionby the Congress for their im-portant contributions,” hesaid.
The designation of theDonald G. Waldon Lock andDam will serve to continuallyremind Tenn Tom’s users andbeneficiaries of Waldon’slegacy as a champion of thenation’s inland waterwaysand his lasting contributionsthroughout his career.
