Column For Week of Sept. 19th

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Gen 3:15 KJV)

Prayer list this week includes: William Rice, Bobbie Moseley, and continue to remember the families of those who have lost loved ones over the past few weeks. It seems like we had a battery of deaths over a short time period.

Birthdays this week include: Avery Skelton (Sept. 17), Ashlyn Skelton (Sept. 19), Linda Knight (Sept. 20), Tony Atkins (Sept. 20), Herbert Moring (Sept. 21), Paula Splawn (Sept. 21), Brandi Green (Sept. 21), Peyton Sinclair (Sept. 23), Chris Hopson (Sept. 24), Marly Rawls (Sept. 24), Myla Rawls (Sept. 24).

Happy Anniversary to Brian and Dena Chancellor (Sept. 22)

More cool weather and some rain bring relief to the area these past few days.

Fire Department News: The first two weeks of October will be scheduled for basic Intro and protective gear classes in the evenings at the station. If you're interested in joining the department and receiving training as a fire fighter, contact Randy or Steven Linzy or any firefighter in the area as soon as possible. There's a plague of armchair fire chiefs in the area who like to criticize the NEFD but can't quite seem to find the guts to show up, suit up, and school us on how it's done. Now's the time to demonstrate what you're made of.

We're coming close to the “Last Ten Year Reunion” which will be on Oct. 8. from 4pm to 8:30pm in the West Saline Community Center cafeteria. It revolves around the classes of 1975 to 1985, the last ten senior classes of NEHS, but is completely open to anyone who attended NEHS at any time. The meal will be potluck. Many are excited about this event, as am I.

The board meeting for Shady Grove Cemetery will be Oct. 2 at 2pm at First Methodist Church in town. Anyone who has an interest in Shady Grove Cemetery is invited to attend.

The New Edinburg Museum will be open this Sunday afternoon from 1pm to 5pm and is located in one room of the West Saline Community Center (NEHS school building). Everyone is welcome to come by. Admission is free. NEHSers are doubly welcome. Visitors last Sunday included Barbara Word Milburn, Sheila Currier and Bruce McLeod.
