A Tribute to Uncle John Bennet Cooper *Note: This story is long so it will be published over the next few weeks. Also this is typed exactly like it is written. Part 4: I left John's campfire then and picked up my sack of sugar and went to Polecat Mountain where I had barrels of nash made from cornmeal and hot water. I never did chew tobacco but bought it for John because he kept a lookout in the mountains for strangers who might be county and federal officers. I followed moonshining around 3 years and kept in touch with John most of the time. He always informed me if he saw men in the mountains he suspected to be officers. I always give John booze for scouting the mountains around my still looking for strangers. Before John was sent to prison he was a dealer in livestock but was never married. My grandpaw hated John because he took to the mountains and would not work. My grandmaw loved John her only living boy. She slipped food, coffee and tobacco out into the woodlands for John unbeknown by my grandpaw. My grandpa and grandma took me to their home in 1911. This was the year my mother died. They raised me till I was ten years old then I ran away. After John leaving society and losing faith in humanity because of inhuman treatment while in prison John talked and bit-

terly crused to himself the rest of his days on earth. Cursing the guards and warden at Brushy Mountain Pententientry for their cruelty to him and other prisoners. People would give John shoes at times. He would not wear them. He would wear overalls and blue work shirts that people gave him. But he would slit the clothes to pieces with a knife and he never wore a hat. Johns feet had a heavy callous on their bottom, coal black and appeared to be near an inch thick and looked exactly like the bottom of a bears foot. He went barefooted summer and winter. People used to say that John Cooper can outrun a buck deer when he thought the law was on his trail to arrest him for being a vagabond. After John leaving civilization and going to spend his life out in the wilds he was given several different names by the mountain people who knew him. One named was wild John Cooper. One John Eastman Cooper. Another Scouting John Cooper. Another Cussing John Cooper. Another Tabcat! for Tabcat Creek. John walked fast gait and looking down at the earth and cursing continuel as he walked. Then there was time John would be real merry for a while. I have been in John's locality many a day and night and heard John laughing hundreds of yards

Weekly Update From Rep. Heath Shuler As I get ready to return to Washington, I have been reflecting on the experiences I’ve had during this district work period. I was happy to see examples of jobs being created and our local economy beginning to improve, but I also witnessed far too much unemployment, underemployment and hardship. There is still plenty of work to be done in Washington to address the issues of joblessness and financial struggle around the country, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find solutions to these issues in the coming weeks and months. Last week, I joined the hard-working and dedicated

staff and volunteers at Manna Food Bank in Asheville for the release of the results of their 2010 Hunger Study.

Graham County American Red Cross Blood Drives The American Red Cross urges residents in the Graham County area to donate blood. All blood types are needed at this time. Because blood can be separated into three components— red cells, plasma and platelets—a single donation can save up to three lives. In the more than 100 area hospitals served by the American Red Cross, pre-mature babies, accident victims and patients with cancer or recovering from surgery need approximately 1,500 units of blood or blood products each day.

Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors must have a form of positive identification in order to donate.

World's Largest Puzzle Unveiled & Dedicated at Mills River Presbyterian Church

MILLS RIVER, N.C. – On Sunday, April 18, 2010, the public is invited to the unveiling and dedication of the World’s Largest Jigsaw Puzzle at the Mills River Presbyterian Church. The event takes place at 12:30pm and includes a potluck luncheon. The puzzle, entitled “LIFE: The Great Challenge” contains 24,000 pieces, and was created by 142 church members and area residents in January, 2010. Now framed and hung with draping until the unveiling, the completed puzzle qualifies the Mills River Presbyterian Church as the first church in the world

to complete the puzzle and the first organization in North Carolina to finish the puzzle. “We had tremendous community and church member support for this project and the overall puzzle assembly,” says Pastor Randall Boggs. “We started with a 24-hour weekend marathon on January 8. Then we moved into a 9am to 9pm working schedule on January 11. The puzzle was completed on January 22 with the total time for construction of 330 hours and 2 minutes.” People who contributed their efforts to the puzzle assembly and the general public are

invited to attend the April 18th unveiling to view the finished and mounted puzzle for the first time. “This event brought everyone together during a very cold, snowy winter for fun and fellowship,” says Boggs. “We had all age ranges from children to senior citizens contribute to the puzzle.” The World’s Largest Puzzle, which features hundreds of animals, sailboats, undersea creatures, hot air balloons and the solar system, was constructed in four panels of 6,000 pieces each. The panels were connected together in January and have

since been glued, mounted and framed in the church’s Fellowship Hall. The 151-year-old church is using the theme in 2010 of “Putting the Pieces Together at Mills River Presbyterian Church.” The church is located at 10 Presbyterian Church Road in Mills River (off of School House Road). For more information on the world’s largest puzzle and the church’s successful entry into the Hall of Fame, visit www.worldslargestpuzzle.com/hof4.html. For more information on the church and the event, call 828-891-7101.

It’s a chance to celebrate the outdoors and earn big money and bragging rights all for doing what you love.” The May issue of Field & Stream (on newsstands now)

features “The Total Outdoorsmen Guide Book” with instruction from five of the nation’s most successful hunting and fishing guides.

Update Continued from page 1A

optimistic that we’ve finally reached a turning point in our economy, in part due to legislation such as the HIRE (Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment) Act which strengths small businesses through tax credits and accelerated write-offs allowing them to expand and hire. That bill created roughly 300,000 jobs throughout the country. I was greatly encouraged by some of the small business owners I had the opportunity to meet with during this past week. I spent some time in Jackson County and met with several business owners whose companies are perfect examples of how our economy is finally starting to turn around. Stonewall Packaging in Sylva is now running two shifts and plans on going to three soon.

They are currently employing 40 workers and will expand to 60 when the plant transitions to three shifts. Similarly, Annie and Joe Ritota, owners of Annie’s Bakery & Wholesale Specialty in Sylva, employ 27 workers now but are expanding in July and will then hire 13 additional workers. Small businesses generate 60 percent of new jobs in this country. They are the backbone of our American economy and nowhere is that more evident than in Western North Carolina. I’m proud to be able to help our local economy through tax relief and other legislation in the U.S. House. I will continue to keep you informed of my efforts to create jobs and improve our economy, and always appreciate you sharing your experiences, suggestions and needs with me.

case for lack of jurisdiction because Wilson had not refuted that her action was based on allegations publicly disclosed in the county and state reports, which it held were “administrative reports� under the FCA’s (False Claims Act) public disclosure bar. The Fourth Circuit court reversed that decision because the reports had been generated solely by state and local entities. The main difference of opinion was as to whether the reports already available qualified as a “public disclosure of allegations or transactions� at

the federal level. The reports, having been local and state reports, did not nullify the payment to a whistleblower, according to the Fourth Circuit Appeals. This case eventually went to the U. S. Supreme Court, and was argued by the court in the October 2009 term, and decided March 2010 with Justices Stevens, Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, Ginsburg, and Alito joining in the decision. Scalia concurred in part, and Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion in which Breyer joined.

He staired at the ground all the time he was engaged in a conversation with people. He would not take a gift from a persons hand but would say lay it down I'll get it. Which he did. John told me lots about his life while in prison and lots of incidents in his boyhood days; and of terrible snows and sub zero freezing weather that he slept out in lying under rock cliffs, in holler logs and in heavy hemlock wooded areas. He told me at different time he would be high in the Smokies searching for chestnuts to eat and terrible snows would be falling so fast that he could not travel. Snow would be three or four

feet deep overnight. He would build fires and be without food as much as five days. There is plenty of people living in TN now who knew John well. All will say that John Cooper was a truthful man. And never give any person trouble in his years of hiding in the mountains. And always give attention with his campfires so as not to cause fire to kill timber and burn up wild game. John was never considered by people to be insane but a man who had been driven to hateward and lost confidence in the human race because of cruel treatment while in prison. A very few people were trustworthy in Johns opinion but I was one he seemed to trust. *To be continued next week.

RALEIGH, N.C.—The North Carolina Symphony will pay tribute to the men and women who have kept America safe for generations, as well as some of our country’s distinctive places, in the fivestop Red, White and Blue Tour, which will include several North Carolina military bases. U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Christal Sanders Rheams, a Raleigh native, joins Music Director Grant Llewellyn and the orchestra in songs including the World War II hits “Rosie the Riveterâ€? and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.â€? Opening the program will be Aaron Copland’s unforgettable Fanfare for the Common Man, and audiences will hear the Symphony at full throttle in the Finale from AntonĂ­n Dvok’s Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.â€? “The Symphony is enormously proud to partner with our men and women in uniform and to present these patriotic concerts at military bases around our great state,â€? says

North Carolina Symphony President and CEO David Chambless Worters. “In keeping with the Symphony’s long tradition of statewide service, this is a perfect opportunity to bring the state of North Carolina’s orchestra to our active duty personnel, their families and their host communities.� The tour begins in Goldsboro at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base on June 1, then continues to Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock on June 2 and Fort Bragg on June 4. A performance for troops stationed at Camp Lejeune and the New River Air Station will take place at Riverwalk Crossing Park in Jacksonville on June 3. The tour concludes during the Symphony’s Summerfest 2010 season at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, on June 5. “The British flag, the Union Jack, is made from the same red, white and blue as the Stars and Stripes,� says Llewellyn, “and I

feel the same allegiance toward the American armed forces as I feel toward my own British troops, amongst whom my grandfather, father and uncles served in the First and Second World Wars. It’s an honor to entertain the brave men and women of these military bases, here in our orchestra’s home state of North Carolina .� The June 1-4 concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. and are free. These concerts are open to the public, except at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. The Red, White and Blue Tour is presented by First Citizens Bank along with Media Partner Our State magazine.

Freedom. The Brigade’s area of operations was in Baghdad and rural areas to the south of the city. With Iraqi Security Forces in the lead, Brigade and Iraqi Security Forces together killed or captured hundreds of insurgents. The Brigade also brought hope to the region with water, school, road, sewer and electrical grid projects. The Brigade Soldiers’ farming skills aided local agribusiness. The 30th suffered 29 wounded in action and seven killed in action. Five of those killed were North Carolina National Guard Soldiers. The 30th returned home in February. The Brigade is made of two combined arms battalions, an artillery battalion, a special troops bat-

talion and a brigade support battalion, located in armories across eastern and central North Carolina, an armored reconnaissance squadron in West Virginia, and for its recent deployment, a military intelligence company from Colorado. The 30th is headquartered in Clinton, N.C. For the next several months, the Soldiers and their Families will begin the Yellow Ribbon Campaign, a series of events across the state to help the Citizen Soldiers and their Families transition back to civilian life. The re-integration program brings seminars, training and other resources to make the transition back to their homes, jobs and communities easier.

Rushing Water

My wife and I went for a nice evening walk by the Nantahala River. The area we were walking, was where the last falls are, just before they take the rafts out of the river. The water was rushing really strong at those falls. In the past, when we rafted, they told us to watch out for the hydraulic pressure of the water after the falls. It is

amazing just to see the volume of water and the force of the water, there at those falls. I noticed something, right at the falls. On both sides of the river there were large trees. Now this is too simple, to be profound, but the fact that the trees were large, meant that they had been there for a long time. Those trees had been right next to that pressure for many years and were still standing. How did they survive? How often are we next to, or in, pressure filled situations? The pressure wants to take us down. It is unnerving to be next to, or in an atmosphere of pressure. How can we survive? Those trees had pretty elaborate root systems that went in many directions to help them stand strong. The banks were also very rocky, which I’m sure provided additional strength and stability. Ephesians 3:14-19 says, “For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
