SEEN & HEARD IN ROANE COUNTY

By O.I. Seenya

 Someone calling for an ambulance because they got hair color in their eyes.  A lady, sitting on a 10 foot bench outside a store, smoking. Another woman walks over, sits right beside her, then pulls out her cell phone and says. “Some people are so rude. There's a lady sitting here with me blowing her cigarette smoke all over me." Instead of slapping the anti-smoker silly, the lady calmly finished her cigarette, got up and walked away. Hopefully, the complainer fell on her way to her car and landed in someone's used, sticky gum on the pavement.  A house in Kingston with a big sign on the front porch that reads, "If your not family, keep out!"  Two little girls selling empty cups of lemonade at the road side. After they ran out of lemonade they still managed to bring in a whopping $5.00. Both have salesman written all over them.  A flat dirt race track and a new motorcross race track comming to Roane County.

(Or as us Southerner's would say) Words that just don't make any sense at all

Infidel Music An Arab Muslim enters a taxi cab in Dallas, Texas . . . Once he is seated he asks the cab driver to “turn off the radio because he must not hear music as decreed by his religion and in the time of the prophet, there was no music, especially Western music, which is music of the infidel's and certainly no radio.” So the cab driver politely switches off the radio, pulls over to the side, stops the cab and opens the back door. The Arab asks him: “What are you doing, man?”The Texan answers: “In the time of the prophet there were no taxis. So get out, stand on the curb and wait for a camel.”

Precious Memories By: Kay Christopher

The Canslers Part of my memories of Emory Gap included the Cansler family. They lived on the left just past Fairmont School in a flat top house. Back in the day, you didn’t call adults by their first name, so we kids referred to them as Mr. or Mrs. Cansler, although their first names were Geneva and Vernon. Vernon was a good man, and my Dad really liked him. He died several years ago, but Geneva still lives on the property. They had four daughters, Teresa, Rhonda, Sandra and Beverly. Me and Teresa were best friends all through grade school, and I spent the night with her many times. Their family was very close, and they went to church every Sunday. Well, I don’t remember Mr. Cansler ever going, but the rest of them grew up in South Harriman Baptist Church. I remember they had a dog named Bo Bo. I think he was a collie and he was the most gentle dog I’ve ever seen. We moved from Emory Gap when I was in the 7th grade, and I attended Little Emory Elementary, while Teresa attended South Harriman. We went to separate schools until we were rejoined again at Harriman High School. But, we kept in touch via the telephone and Mrs. Cansler would bring the girls up to visit us on Sundays. She and Mama would sit on the front porch while all us kids played. The Canslers were model parents, and they were always very nice to me, even when me and Teresa and her sisters would almost tear the walls down in her bedroom while we were playing when I stayed the night. Us kids in Emory Gap didn’t need drugs or alcohol to get us through our childhoods, we just enjoyed growing up and doing what kids should do, having good, clean fun.

2016: Obama’s America

2016 Obama's America takes audiences on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world. Immersed in exotic locales across four continents, best selling author Dinesh D’Souza races against time to find answers to Obama’s past and reveal where America will be in 2016. During this journey he discovers how Hope and Change became radically misunderstood, and identifies new flashpoints for hot wars in mankind’s greatest struggle. The journey moves quickly over the arc of the old colonial empires, into America’s empire of liberty, and we see the unfolding realignment of nations and the shape of the global future. Emotionally engaging, 2016 Obama’s America will make you confounded and cheer as you discover the mysteries and answers to your greatest aspirations and worst fears. Love him or hate him, you don’t know him. About the Filmmakers Gerald R. Molen has produced many of the most memorable films in the last three decades including blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Twister, Days of Thunder, Hook and Minority Report. He was a producer for the Academy Award winning film Schindler’s List and co-producer for Rain Man which won the Oscar for Best Picture. Dinesh D’Souza: Born in Mumbai, India, he has truly lived the American Dream. He moved to the United States to attend Dartmouth College and upon graduation he went to work in the Reagan White House as a policy analyst.

Mark Twain

*Samuel Langhorne Clemens* 11-30-1835 to 4-21-1910 Cause of Death: Angina Pectoris (coronary artery disease) Gravesite: Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira, New York Directions to Cemetery: From I-17, take Exit 56 and follow Church Street 1 /3/4 miles to Walnut Street. Turn right and, after about a mile, Walnut Street ends at the cemetery. Enter the cemetery and turn at the second right. Then turn at the second left and stop. The Twain plot is on the right. **Mark had been born with Halley's Comet clearly visible in the heavens, and he predicted he'd "go out with the comet." While it streaked through the skies almost 75 years later, Mark slipped into a coma and died.

CORRECTION

In last month's issue was about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans we mentioned that the museum was located in Apple Valley, CA. One of our readers called us and told us the museum had moved to Branson, MI. After further research we found this to be true, but we also learned the museum is now closed, the last day of operation was December 12th, 2009. You can learn more about this story by going to www.royrogers.com/announcement. If you would like to learn more about his life go to www.royrogers.com.

On growing up an only—or is it lonely?--child By: Debra Carpenter

Watching my daughter grow up and learn new things brings back so many memories from my own childhood. Since my daughter is an only child, her childhood will definitely be a little different than most. I can attest to this because for 12 years, I was an only child. When you’re an only child, you have to make a few changes to the traditional childhood rules in order to get the same effect. It doesn’t hurt to beg your parents for another sibling if you’re really miserable on your own. It worked for me. When you are an only child, alone, without siblings, you are left with a slim choice of playmates. Mom and dad are options (i.e. they are better than no one to play with at all), but they will usually decline your polite offer to play Candy Land or school, where you are the teacher and they are the student. This ends with you playing both the teacher and the student, which can get really weird, really fast. When you are the only person in your house under the age of 35, the adults are, without question, in charge. This means they reserve the right to punish you when you misbehave. There is no chance that you will do something wrong and your brother will get blamed for it, because you don’t have a brother. For the next 18 years or so, you are the only suspect in the house when anything goes wrong. No pressure. When you are an only child, you are your parent’s very first experiment with the whole “have a family” thing. They have never done this before, and they probably still aren’t totally sure what they’re doing (trust me on this). You could find a little comfort in the fact that, if you had siblings, they would be just as dysfunctional as you (should the parenting experiment not work out so well). However, this isn’t the case, because you don’t have any siblings. So, let’s hope everything goes well for you. I mentioned before that I begged my parents for a sibling. One exception: no sisters. I realize that this significantly cut down on my parent’s options for having more children. I got my wish--my brother was born when I was 12, and just like that, I was no longer an only child. I was the big sister. But becoming a sibling when I was already a preteen didn’t change my only-child mindset. I still thought all the attention was owed to me, that I topped everyone’s priority charts, and that I wouldn’t need to make any sacrifices. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. So what will happen to my daughter, sibling-less and spoiled? Her self esteem will really get a boost from playing all those board games alone (and winning every time), and always being the smartest, the cutest, the funniest, and our favorite child by default. She will learn to entertain herself, something that I have found is very useful as I begin to get a grip on life as an adult. And who knows what the future holds? Maybe she won’t be an only child forever. Thanks for reading my column! Talk to me at debra.carp@yahoo.com and read my weekly blog (Mother, Interrupted) at http://www.interruptedmum.blogspot.com. Until next time! Debra

New round of blonde jokes

A friend told the blonde: "Christmas is on a Friday this year" The blonde then said, "Let's hope it's not the 13th. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two blondes find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station. One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?" The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blond is in the bathroom and her husband shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?" She says, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do...it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blonde goes to the vet with her goldfish. "I think it's got epilepsy," she tells the vet. The vet takes a look and says, "It seems calm enough to me". The blonde says, "I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blond spies a letter lying on her doormat. It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND ". She spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blond man shouts frantically into the phone "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor. "No", he shouts, "This is her husband!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blonde was driving home, drunk as a skunk. Suddenly she has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another. A cop car pulls her over, so she tells the cop about all the trees in the road. The Cop says "That's your air freshener swinging about!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A blonde's dog goes missing and she is frantic. Her husband says "Why don't you put an ad in the paper?" She does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing. "What did you put in the paper?" her husband asks. "Here boy!" she replies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Instructor asks a blonde: "Why do Scuba divers always fall backwards off their boats?" To which the blonde replies: "If they fell forward, they'd still be in the boat."

I recently had the misfortune of an ambulance being called to my home for my husband who was having a stroke. My office is 7-8 minutes from my home and I immediately left work in the pouring rain to get to my house. I drove fast, watching through my rearview mirror, afraid that I would be in the way of the ambulance that would be coming up behind me. I was disappointed when I didn’t see one. I pulled in front of my house, and to my surprise, the ambulance was already in my driveway and the medical emergency team was already in my house, caring for my husband. He had a mini-stroke, and thanks to their speed and the medical care they provided to him, he is not seriously disabled from it. Roane County’s emergency response teams are the best, and we are very fortunate to have them. Kay Christopher

WE CAN ALWAYS COMPLAIN!

7 The Roane Reader

Complaining! Must we contend with the habit of complaining all the time. It does not matter how blessed we are or what wondrous freedoms we enjoy, we can still complain about something. Consider Adam and Eve in the paradise of Eden. Surrounded by everything they needed, but they set their eyes on the one thing they commanded not to have. They could eat from any tree in the garden, but they wanted the fruit from the one tree that they were not to touch. The children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt by God’s power. They witnessed the parting of the Red Sea, tasted the water that poured from a rock, and dined on manna that was constantly available. All this was due to God’s love for them, but instead of rejoicing in His love they focused on the negative. They were essentially a bunch of grumblers. Several times they complained about their circumstances and their situation as in Number 14:2, “All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them. “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this desert!” What were those in these two examples seeking? The first desired fruit they were not to eat rather than the many they could? The people of Israel did not want the manna God gave them, but the food of slaves in Egypt. We should also ask, “what are we seeking?” Let it not be a negative desire or a complaining view of life. Instead it ought to be that which is positive and godly as children of the King ought to live. Consider the way of life described in Philippians 4:3-8, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Let’s have a positive outlook on life. Use every day to do good and to praise God.

GOD’S CREATIONS - AMAZING FACTS !!

This is awesome! How Great is our God!!!God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.. . .For example:the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days; those of the canary in 14 days; those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days; those of the mallard in 35 days; The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days. (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of days in a week!) God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The fourlegs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction.No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily. The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation! God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains.-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.-Each orange has an even number of segments.-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

What people say can lead to life or death. So those who enjoy talking must bear its fruit, whether good or bad. We should be warned by this proverb, especially if we love to talk. Read James 3:1-12. The Bible warned us to watch our tongues. It is more destructive than any other weapon known to man. It can start wars, ruin relationships, wreck homes, split churches and cause hatred. God has a divine a purpose for our tongues. Our tongues are for glorifying God. Our words should comfort the heartbroken, encourage the faint and teach truth and wisdom. Our words should be bathed in prayer. They ought to be soaked in praise.

God is never wrong

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances would always say “my king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect. He makes no mistakes!”One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman asked "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows why these things happened. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!"Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave. Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by savages who engaged in human sacrifices. On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods. So they released the King. Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave. He received the slave affectionately. He asked his slave, "my dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"The slave answered, "my King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in jail so I would not be with you on the hunt."

Household Hints

 Opening new jars? Instead of banging a jar of jam, pickles, etc., with a knife until it loosens up, simply reach into the drawer and pull out the handy nutcracker. It adjusts to the size of the jar, simply give it a good twist and off pops the lid!  To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to boil on stovetop.  Spray your plastic ware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.  When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.  When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.  To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.  Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.  Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.  To prevent eggshells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.  Potatoes will take food stains off your fingers. Just slice and rub raw potato on the stains and rinse with water.

You can only let someone throw so many stones at you before you pick them all up, put them together and build a wall to keep them from doing it again!

Penny Pinchers  To get the last bit of paste out of a toothpaste tube, use a rolling pin to push the contents up to the top.  Don't throw away old wrapping paper - you can reuse it. Simply iron out the creases with a warm iron. This will also help to remove the adhesive tape. It's unlikely you can reuse the old tag, however.  If postage stamps have stuck together, don't fret. Put a piece of thin paper over them and press with a warm iron until they come apart easily. It's much cheaper to buy rolls of  surgical cotton wool than cotton-wool balls.  If you use steel-wool pads to clean, cut them in half before use. Once used, they'll rust, so this trick should make them go twice as far.  Save old toothbrushes, sterilize them with boiling water and use them as cleaners. They're ideal for cleaning around taps and, in the kitchen, for cleaning graters.  Scrunched up newspaper is just as good for cleaning windows and mirrors as a chamois leather cloth.  You can remove dirt marks on wallpaper and items like playing cards with scrunched up, crust-less white bread. No, really!  Lemons freeze well, so you can always store unused portions in the freezer; cut into quarters if you only use small bits at a time.  Freeze leftover pieces of cake until you have enough to make a trifle.

Aunt Hattie's "Hurry-Up" Recipes HATTIE SHILLINGS

It's Football Time in Tennessee! Here's some tasty treats for your Big Orange parties

Fresh Taco Dip 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened 1 pint, sour cream 1.5 oz. pack taco seasoning mix 3/4 head, lettuce, chopped

1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered 4 green onions, chopped 2 cups, shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup, sliced black olives

Mix cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Spread this mixture on the bottom of a 12"x12" platter and chill for 3 hours. Chop veggies and drain well, blotting on a paper towel if necessary. Layer the veggies on top of the cream cheese mixture: first the lettuce, then the tomatoes, then the onions, then the olives, then the cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.

Glazed Meatballs 1 (14 ounce) bottle ketchup 1 (10 ounce) jar grape jelly 2 Tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 of a medium onion, diced 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar 32 oz. bag of frozen meatballs

Combine the first five ingredients in a large sauce pan. Stir well to combine and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil (it will spatter, that's why I recommend a deep pan). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally. Place frozen meatballs in a slow cooker. Pour sauce over meatballs and stir to coat all meatballs. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. If you can, move the meatballs around once or twice so the meatballs on the top are moved to the bottom.

Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Legs Juice of 1-2 lemons 3 cloves of garlic, minced ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 Tablespoon dried oregano

1 Tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon salt 6-8 chicken legs (skin on or off, your preference)

Place the first 6 ingredients in a zip style bag. Gently squeeze the bag near the contents to mix them together. Place chicken legs in the bag, seal, and turn the bag so that the marinade coats all of the legs. Place the bag in a bowl in the refrigerator (to prevent leaks!) and allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 10 hours (whatever you have time for). Grill until chicken is thoroughly cooked (about 40-45 minutes with medium heat).

1. Political Ads: Stop the negativity against each other and just tell me what you are going to do about my country, the economy, the unemployment, our soldiers getting killed everyday, health issues, etc. These attack ads are so childish. Grow up! I don't need to know the bad things about your opponent, I need to know the good things about you! 2. Yard Sale Animals: If you want me to stop and buy something at your yard sale, for Heaven's sake tie up your cat or dog that's running around everywhere sniffing and rubbing all over everybody. Gross! Just because you love your little darling pet doesn't mean everybody else does. 3. Security Guards: Surely they have better things to *secure* than nosying around to see if I'm smoking or not on the business or hospital property they are securing. I'm in a remote area, and yes, away from everybody, but still, here they come telling me to put my cigarette out! Go walk around the corner and see if someone is trying to break down a door or break into a car or something. Leave me alone. I'm not bothering anybody. Geesh... 4. Stupid Drivers: Don't pull out directly in front of me, go slow, and then (usually without a signal) turn 1/2 block onto another street! Don't do it! Stop it! That's me right on your bumper blaring my horn several times. I know it doesn't do any good but it makes me feel a little better! 5. Trash: People...please. Take your used tissue out of the buggy BEFORE I start to use it for my grocery shopping. Yulk! Do you actually think someone wants to pick it up and put it in the trash can for you? Take your trash out of the buggy before you leave it. Ok? Ok.

Moron of the Month By: Jerry Lemons

Lindsay Lohan

This bozo doesn't know when to quit. Here is a list of just some of her offenses and arrests: Hit and run; Driving while impaired; Shoplifting (over $1000 item); Violation of probation. If an ordinary person committed any of those crimes, they would receive a hefty fine and jail-time. But not Lindsay Lohan. For she's a star. All she has had to do for the crimes she's committed is pay fines, serve a few hours in jail, do community service, and be on probation. The case of Lindsay Lohan is a perfect example of the double standard of justice that goes on. She gets a slap on the wrist, while the ordinary person gets punished to the full extent of the law. When Lohan was released from probation recently, she almost immediately got into fights with two women, and hosted Saturday Night Live where she mocked the justice system. I think Lohan is a child in a woman's body. Her behavior is infantile, and she feels an overwhelming urge to be the center of attention. So far she has been handled with velvet gloves, and to her way of thinking she's gotten away with everything she's done so far, so why not keep doing it? But there are limits, and I believe that sometime in the future, Lohan will reach and go beyond one of those limits and commit some act that cannot be excused or overlooked, and she will receive substantial jail-time. Then what will she be or do? She'll be a convicted felon who can't find tv or film work, and will be too old to pose for magazines, and will have ruined her body through drugs and alcohol. What we've witnessed with Lindsay Lohan is a promising attractive young talented person, who could have made it in films, but who wasted her life doing stupid illegal stuff. She could be the poster "child" for A Wasted Life.

"In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice." -Bobby Rahal Southern Regional Racing Series By: John Griffin

Smoky Mountain Speedway played host to the Southern Regional Racing Series Aug. 11th. A strong field of cars showed up to hopefully take home the checkers in the Ole Smoky Mountain Classic. After the trials had been completed, it was Billy Ogle, Jr. of Knoxville, in the Blount Excavating Chevrolet setting fast time for the feature race. In the feature, it was Billy Ogle, Jr. leading all 35 laps to take the checkers for his 1st win of the season. Ogle Jr. got the monkey off his back as he had 12 races where he finished 2nd, Mark Vineyard took the 2nd position with Dale McDowell 3rd, Skip Arp 4th, Riley Hickman 5th, Skylar Marlar 6th, Vic Hill 7th, and Ty Dillon who races in the Truck Series with Nascar 8th. In the Limited Late Model Feature, it was Mike Weeks taking the checkers with Josh Collins 2nd, Cory Hedgecock 3rd, Mark Rosner 4th, and Matt Henderson 5th. Trevor Bane raced in the Limited Late Models and finished 12th. In the Street Stock Feature it was Travis Reno taking the checkers with Dale Watson 2nd, and James Price 3rd. Another feature saw Paul Johnson take the checkers with Buddy Norwood 2nd, and Marvin Romines 3rd. Smoky Mountain’s next race will be Friday, Aug. 31st with a Limited Late Model Streethead Feature paying $1500 to win. It will be a 2 day show with 411 as they will run Sat. Sept. 1st. PIT NOTES: Look for Trevor Bane to run more dirt races this season at Smoky Mountain.

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary. 2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 21seconds for the same reason as answer number 1. 3. Why are his gloves wet? His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time and, if not, why not? He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across the path,he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder. 5. How often are the guards changed? Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twentyfour hours a day, 365 days a year. 6. What are the physical traits of the guard limited to? For a person to apply for guard duty at the tomb, he must be between 5' 10' and 6' 2' tall and his waist size cannot exceed 30. They must commit 2 years of life to guard the tomb, live in a barracks under the tomb, and cannot drink any alcohol on or off duty for the rest of their lives. They cannot swear in public for the rest of their lives and cannot disgrace the uniform or the tomb in any way. After two years, the guard is given a wreath pin that is worn on their lapel signifying they served as guard of the tomb. There are only 400 presently worn. The guard must obey these rules for the rest of their lives or give up the wreath pin. The shoes are specially made with very thick soles to keep the heat and cold from their feet. There are metal heel plates that extend to the top of the shoe in order to make the loud click as they come to a halt. There are no wrinkles, folds or lint on the uniform. Guards dress for duty in front of a full-length mirror. The first six months of duty a guard cannot talk to anyone nor watch TV. All off duty time is spent studying the 175 notable people laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. A guard must memorize who they are and where they are interred. Among the notables are: President Taft, Joe Lewis {the boxer}Medal of Honor winner Audie L. Murphy, the most decorated soldier of WWII and of Hollywood fame. Every guard spends five hours a day getting his uniforms ready for guard duty.. Inscribed in the tomb are the following words: ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM. In 2003 as Hurricane Isabelle was approaching Washington, DC, our US Senate/House took 2 days off with anticipation of the storm. On the ABC evening news, it was reported that because of the dangers from the hurricane, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment. They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!" Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment, it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a service person. The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.

Something Different To Chew Over on Labor Day

Do Snack Food Preferences Affect Job Choices? According to a snack food study, the average American will have three to five careers, 10 to 12 jobs and will hold each job for an average of 3.5 years throughout his or her lifetime. Chip lovers are ambitious and successful: If you crave potato chips, you should be a lawyer, tennis pro, police officer, CEO; they are competitive and have high expectations, not only of themselves, but of those around them. Pretzels: fire-fighter, journalist, flight attendant, veterinarian or pediatrician. Lively and energetic, those who crave pretzels seek novelty and easily become bored by routine. Tortilla Chips: farmer, travel agent, chef, clergy or news reader; they are perfectionists who are also humanitarians. Sticklers for punctuality, you will rarely see a tortilla eater late for an appointment. Cheese Curls: real estate agent, psychiatrist or producer. Formal, always proper, conscientious and principled, people who crave this have a highly developed sense of integrity and maintain the moral high ground with their family, co-workers and romantic partners. They plan ahead for any possible catastrophe. Popcorn: teacher, artist, truck driver, nurse, judge or neurosurgeon. They are self-assured and confident, those who prefer popcorn are best described as "take charge sort of people." A popcorn enthusiast will not hesitate to assume extra work on the job or take on extra duties at social gatherings. Nuts: plumber, architect, sanitation worker, cardiologist or politician. Those who prefer nuts tend to be easygoing, empathic and understanding. When confronted with an emotionally charged situation, they can be counted on to keep calm and not join the fray, allowing time for the emotional upheaval to pass. Snack Crackers: stockbroker or professional race car driver. Snack cracker devotees tend to be contemplative and thoughtful, and base their decisions on solid reasoning instead of their emotions. Meat Snacks: dentist or bartender. Those who crave a satisfying stick of beef jerky or a mouth-watering bag of pork rinds are the life of the party. Gregarious and social, meant snack lovers are at their best amidst the company of others.

Contrary To Popular Belief Cinderella did not wear glass slippers to the ball Cinderella wore fur slippers to the ball. French writer Charles Perrault retold the ancient and international Cinderella story in his book, Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals published in 1697. Instead of giving Cinderella pantoufles en vair (slippers made of white squirrel fur), as told in old French version of the story, Perrault wrote that Cinderella wore pantoufles en verre (slippers made of glass), confusing the two similarly pronounced words. The mistake has been passed down to this day.

Wall Street's five biggest banks reported the worst start to a year since 2008. They're still asking investors to be patient. JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Citigroup Inc. (C), Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) had combined first-half revenue of $161 billion, down 4.5 percent from 2011 and the lowest since $135 billion four years ago. The firms blamed the decline on low interest rates and a drop in trading and deal-making driven by concerns about European government finances and slowing growth in the U.S. and China. Most of the banks have failed since 2009 to earn a return that exceeds their cost of capital, said Roy Smith, a finance professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and a former Goldman Sachs partner. The impact of new capital requirements and legislation such as the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act is having a more profound effect on profitability than managements seem willing to acknowledge, he said. "I've been wondering how long this has to go on before people started to take it seriously," Smith said in a telephone interview. "This is a long time for this to continue, and it's just getting worse." Since 2005, the banks have posted lower revenue in the second half of the year than in the first, company reports show, signaling even worse to come. While Goldman Sachs said it will seek $500 million in expense cuts focused on personnel costs this year after reporting an 11 percent drop in second-quarter profit, the New York-based firm, like its competitors, has resisted calls for more radical changes to its business model. The day after the bank reported its lowest first-half revenue in seven years, Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein explained the dilemma he faces as he asks shareholders to wait for the rebound he's expecting. "There are certain things that are cycles and that it's not very good for us to overreact to," Blankfein, 57, said at a July 18 Economic Club of Washington lunch. Even so, "cycles can be severe and they can last a long time and if you get killed in the bad part of a cycle because you don't manage your business closely enough, when the cycle turns you're still dead." While Bank of America's second-quarter profit of $2.46 billion showed an improvement over a record $8.83 billion loss in the same period last year, shareholders were spooked by a jump in mortgage-bond repurchase demands that cast doubt on whether the bank's recovery will last. The lender, the second- biggest in the U.S. by assets, plans to trim $3 billion in annual expenses from investment banking, trading and wealthmanagement units. More Cuts‌"We continue to have work to do, as you can see in the numbers," Brian T. Moynihan, 52, CEO of the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, said of his company's earnings on a July 18 conference call with analysts and investors. "But we've put ourselves in a position to be successful." Morgan Stanley, which reported a 50 percent drop in second- quarter profit that missed analysts' estimates, said it will eliminate 700 more jobs by the end of 2012, bringing the total for the year to 4,000. "It's tough to make money in this environment, and so I think there's going to be a further round" of cuts, Charles Peabody, an analyst at Portales Partners LLC in New York, said in an interview. It is a shame the biggest and best of these advice givers, can’t run their own businesses on a profitable basis! Investors are running not walking away from these buffoons!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF COLE DUANE HEIDE Who went to be with his Heavenly Father, September 16, 2003 If we had known it would be the last time we would see you fall asleep, we would have tucked you in more tightly and pray the Lord your soul to keep. If we had known it would be the last time we would see you walk out the door, we would have given you MORE hugs and kisses and call you back for even more. If we had known it would be the last time we would hear your voice, we would have video taped even more actions and words so we would have more of them to play back day after day. If we had known it would be the last time or laugh together or cry together or make all those plans for your future, "IF" Tomorrow is not promised to anyone and today may be the last chance you have to hold your loved ones tight, give them that extra smile, hug or kiss. So hold your loved ones close, take time to say, "I'm Sorry", "Forgive me", "Thank you", or "Everything will be okay". We Love you Cole, we can't believe you have been gone for 9 years! We will never forget your sweet smile, the way you could make us laugh, how loving you were, always needing a hug and a kiss. We will NEVER forget you. We will miss you until we see you again in Heaven.

Love Forever

Words of Wisdom

By: Elsie Wyrick I was putting new batteries in my flashlight, and of course, I got them mixed up and put them in wrong, so it didn’t work. I knew negative on one end--positive on the other end. It took awhile but I figured it out! Now, in our lives, we are often faced with situations we can’t fix ourselves and we just give up and accept defeat; does the problem go away--no, they don’t and sometimes get even worse. In our negative and positives, we must not place them together wrong, or like my flashlight, they won’t work for us. Of course, here I go---if we let our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ give us directions in our daily lives and we follow up on them, we will have good results everytime! Try His Way!

The History of Ice Cream Many nations claim to have invented ice cream, just as various individuals take credit for it. Still, it makes for a chilling drama. So grab a bowl of your favorite flavor, and dig in. A.D 54–68: For centuries, iced desserts were a luxury. Roman Emperor Nero is said to have sent his slaves into the mountains to fetch snow to mix with nectar, fruit pulp, and honey, although this widely told tale may be a myth. A.D. 618–907: The origins of ice cream date back to China's T'ang period, probably as a dish for the country's rulers. The founder of the dynasty, King T'ang of Shang, kept 94 "ice men" on hand to lug ice to the palace to make a dish made of koumiss (heated, fermented milk), flour, and camphor. 1744: American colonists brought along recipes from Europe. On May 19, 1744, a group of VIP's dined at the home of Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen. Present was a Scottish colonist who described "a Dessert...Among the Rarities of which is was Compos'd, was some fine Ice Cream which, with the Strawberries and Milk, eat most deliciously." This is the first written account of ice cream consumption in the new colonies. 1782: Ever hear how Martha Washington left a bowl of sweet cream on the back steps of Mount Vernon one night, and the next morning discovered ice cream? Nice story, but not true. George Washington did have, described in his ledger, "a cream machine for ice." 1843: Until September 9, 1843, ice cream was made by the "pot freezer method," but on this day, Nancy M. Johnson of Philadelphia got her "artificial freezer" patented, containing a tub, cylinder, lid, dasher, and crank. This design is still widely used today. 1850: Baltimore dairyman Jacob Fussell opened the first commercial ice cream factory. He had a surplus of cream—so he build an ice cream factory in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, and shipped it to Baltimore by train. Business boomed, and Fussell became the father of the wholesale ice cream industry. 1880: Buffalo, NY; Evanston, IL; Two Rivers, WI; and Ithaca, NY all claim to have invented the ice cream sundae. Wherever it happened, it first started appearing in soda fountains during the 1880's. It was invented because ice cream sodas weren't allowed to be sold on Sundays; the ice cream sundae was a way to circumvent that restriction. On September 22, 1903, there is a recorded application for a patent for the ice cream cone by Italo Marchiony. 1939: Grocery stores didn't start selling ice cream until the 1930's, and by WWII, ice cream had become so popular that it turned into somewhat of an American symbol (Mussolini banned it in Italy for that same reason). Ice cream was great for troop morale, and in 1943, the U.S. Armed Forces were the world's largest ice cream manufacturers!

The 1962-1963 October Fire Prevention Week activities were said to be the best ever at High Wycombe. In fact, during the annual 1962 Fire Prevention Week competition, judged by 7th Air Division staff officers, High Wycombe was rated number one among the five bases under 7th Air Division command. The local on-base elementary school, chapel, commissary and service club all participated in our programs, which added to the success in getting full support throughout the base. I was always seeking new ways to gain support for my firemen and during one training exercise I invited the Base Civil Engineering Officer, Major Green, to participate by using his authority to conduct a reenlistment ceremony for one of my firemen. He thought this to be a great idea and gladly accepted my request. So halfway during the exercise I stopped the training on the pretense that something was going wrong with the operation. To the surprise of the fire pumper operator, the Major walked over to him and asked him to raise his hand so that he could be sworn in for his reenlistment. The airman was in total shock but was pleasantly surprised. Of course the base photographer was on hand and the base newspaper covered the entire story. A real challenge confronted me during this duty tour. I was assigned duty to a Headquarters 7th Air Division Headquarters “War Readiness Order Record Player Evaluation” team which required my accompanying staff level officers and NCO’s on inspections of Brize Norton, Fairford, Greenham Common and Upper Heyford Air Bases. This required me to inspect each of the fire departments at these bases. By ”challenge” I mean, how could I possibly go against my fellow Fire Chiefs during these inspections? As I arrived at each base my advice to each Fire Chief was to furnish me with information on items where they could not get base command support. This way I could not only assist my counter parts in getting help but I would not ruffle any feathers. This system worked out just fine. Yes, this was politics at its best. My off duty time was very productive as I was active in the base chapel by accepting a Sunday School teaching position for teenagers. The base Protestant Chaplain, Capt. Raspberry asked me to periodically visit a nearby British retirement rest home and give a short message as well as use a record player to provide Christian music to the residents. I also volunteered my time along with others to an off base “Meals on Wheels” program that provided warm, delicious meals to various shut-ins each day. A fire department bowling team was formed with winning results. There was also a Toastmaster’s International Chapter on base and I participated in that program to improve my skills in public speaking. A highlight at one of our monthly meetings was the appearance as keynote speaker, Gen. Chappie James, one of our famous AF Generals. Our 5 year-old twin daughters were accepted for admission in the elementary school and put in different classes. My wife and I volunteered for parent classroom duties and accompanied teachers and children on several outings for two school years. We visited places such as the National Zoo and Natural Museum in London and assisted teachers during school performances. But alas, the two years of duty finally ended. It was very difficult to leave as my wife and I had established strong roots in the base community. For my performance during the two years I was assigned, I was awarded my first Air Force Commendation medal. When orders finally arrived for our new duty assignment to Whiteman AFB in Missouri we said our good-byes. While waiting for our transportation to arrive at base headquarters the Base Commander, Colonel Scanlan was there to wish us good luck for the future. Normally a station wagon was dispatched from the motor pool for the trip to Heathrow Airport in London but Col. Scanlan said that he had made his staff car available to take us to the airport. He said that this was to show his appreciation for the fine work I had accomplished while under his command. A gesture such as this was typical of personnel stationed at High Wycombe.

If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day.

The coupon page is a great new service which will benefit the business owner, the reader and many others through out Roane County. By having all the coupons grouped together on one page gives the reader one page to view all the great deals from our local businesses. This will allow them to cut out the whole page and take it with them rather than only having small cut up coupons that get lost or torn easily. The business owner will benefit by having there coupon noticed more often with better return, face it people love coupons. Placing your coupon on the coupons page rather than on your ad gives you more room for extra information and keeps people from cutting out your ad so others have a chance of seeing it also. I wanted to start this page as a way to give back to the advertisers that we cherish so much. The last thing we want is businesses paying for ads and not getting results.

by: Travis Harmon

Hello, my name is Travis Harmon, and it’s very nice to meet you. When this type of formal introduction happens, there’s usually a rush of judgments going on in the minds of the newly introduced. People are either respected or red-flagged depending on their body size, clothing style, facial hair, tattoos, or lack thereof. We superficially pinpoint traits that we’ve predetermined our own attitudes about. This is called prejudice, but our appearances do not necessarily define us. On September 11, 2001, our country experienced one of the most horrific event of our history. With thousands of lives lost, our country stood together to reunite and rebuild amidst the destruction. The event was catastrophic, but it didn’t define us. Our problems don’t define us. I was recently approached by a church that asked me to interview for a job. The only requirement they had given me was to verify that I was a proud member of their denomination. I believe we lose God’s bigger picture of the church when we seclude ourselves to these titles. I believe our theology is an important part of who we are, but I quickly realized that my denomination doesn’t define me. I bought my car many years ago while I was in college. I bought the car with a cracked headlight. I decided that I would protest our culture’s warped sense of cultural pressure to define ourselves by our automobiles. I’ve never paid the fifteen dollars to have it fixed. I made a promise to myself that I would drive the ‘Tank’ until it would no longer run. More than 10 years later, I still can’t kill it. However, my car doesn’t define me. A friend recently expressed the hurt he had felt over a pastor addressing him as an ex-convict. As a Christian, an incredibly talented musician, a tender hearted husband, father and friend, he rightfully struggled to be identified by his past mistakes. We live with the consequences of our past sins, but our past sins don’t define us. Our problems don’t define us. Our denominations don’t define us. Our transportation doesn’t define us. Our past failures don’t define us. Our skin color doesn’t define us. Our homes don’t define us. Our neighborhoods don’t define us. Our family doesn’t define us. You can learn a lot about a person by the friends they have, but even still our friends don’t define us. Our jobs don’t define us. Our bank accounts don’t define us. Our trophies don’t define us. Our possessions will never define us. I recently read that ‘we are spiritual beings having a human experience.’ When we allow material possessions to define us, we lose sight of the ultimate purpose of our humanity. When our lives are completely focused on our humanity, we lose sight of the spiritual life we were created to exercise. When we allow ourselves to be defined by our past failures we deny God’s ability to continue to script our future! When we allow ourselves to be defined by anyone other than ourselves, we enslave ourselves inside the prison of identity crisis. Stop letting your car identify you. Stop feeling inadequate if your house isn’t featured on MTV cribs. Stop working for your bank account. Learn to make your bank account work for you. Stop letting your past mistakes define you. Today is a new opportunity to fix the brokenness of the past. No matter where you may find yourself today, in a jail cell or in your subdivision, realize that God’s purpose for your life is to use all of the physical things we have to serve Him spiritually. Even our struggles. Find a new identity today in Christ! 1 Peter chapter 2 further explains our dilemma. In one verse it says “you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.” It’s time we realize who we are in Christ, and stop being hindered by things that only slow us down in our chase for the purpose of the cross. It’s time we begin to live Philippians 2:5 and let our attitude reflect our faith, and not our ______________.

A pencil-maker told the pencil 5 important lessons just before putting it in the box:

1. Everything you do will make a mark. 2. You can correct the mistakes you make. 3. What is important is what is inside of you. 4. In life, you will undergo painful sharpenings, which will only make you better. 5. To be the best pencil, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

Rockwood Memories By: Ray Collet

Hello readers, This isn't a Rockwood memory just yet, but it will be one eventually. The other day I was sitting under the carport enjoying a nice day and trying to come up with an article for this month's Roane Reader. Sometimes my mind draws a blank and nothing seems to click, and the deadline draws closer and closer. We all need to be sharpened. May this parable encourage you to know that you are a special person, with Anyway, while sitting there trying to come up with something to unique God-given talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. write, two guys wearing white shirts rode up on their bicycles. I got Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, off of the chaise lounge about the same time as they dismounted. As like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are is what’s inside of you. I wondered, what brought them to see me, one of them said , "Are you a Christian? " Knowing that I had some new neighbors that moved in recently, I replied, "No, not me...Maybe the folks up the street." I thought their last name was Christiansen. The other one said to me, "No, are you lost?" Now that bothered me a little, so I told him that I was raised here and wasn't lost, I knew just about everybody, seemed to me that they were the ones who were lost. Finally one of them said, "Well, are you ready for the Big Day?" The only big day I could think of around here was Little Caesar's Pizza Place opening up, so I asked them, "When is going to be?" One of them replied, "We don't know." So I told them, "Well, when you find out when it is going to be, Let me know . My wife might want to go and beat the crowd." The two guys got back on their bicycles and rode off shaking their heads and murmuring to themselves. So I logged back onto my computer and sat, trying to get an idea of something to write about. Maybe I will think of something soon.....
