SUMMER - NEWS FROM THE HILLS

- by Alyce Faye Bragg
Summer weather exploded in our hills this past week, with hot days and mild nights, a real change from the frosty nights we endured just a short time ago. June spreads her flowered garments over the land, bringing roses, lacy white ash bushes and blushing brides. June is a perfect month for the youngsters to enjoy their summer break from school.
One of the best memories I have of this time was waking up on a June morning with a breeze blowing through the open bedroom window, carrying the sweet...

I heard the rumor down at the feed store, later in the afternoon. We had a real live Sherlock Holmes in our community, and he was our local barber, Curtis Naismith.
"What do you mean?" I asked Julie, the stout girl hired to carry 100-pound sacks of grain out to waiting trucks.
"Curtis can tell," she said. "He can tell where you've been and what you've been doing, and it's a kind of magic, like that e.s.p. stuff."
This was big news here, of course, and I had to go see for myself. I was getting...

June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, so it is only fitting that I share this cat quilt conundrum with you.
It starts of all places at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church where longtime parishioners Steve and Judy Wiwi learn that I restore quilts. They share with me that they have some family quilts and they want me to take a look at a couple of them. The years pass.
Then suddenly last November Judy tells me she is going to bring a quilt to church. It is a family quilt made by her...
A SPECIAL WELCOME

- by Ronnie McBrayer
I've been involved in ministry or "church work" for over two decades. Don't let my youthful persona fool you; I'm now closer to drawing Social Security than I am to drawing Crayola inspired pictures on construction paper. Obviously, Social Security may not be an option for me or my generation, but that's a column for another time.
Back to the ministry: Yes, the church has been my life. I have loved it and hated it; embraced it and attacked it; been welcomed by it with open arms, and been told...

It doesn't matter which way you go, as long as you get there.
Just the Bare Facts
The Supreme Court recently ruled that people charged with minor offenses, like traffic violations or public intoxication, can be strip searched, even if there is no reasonable doubt that they might be concealing weapons, drugs, or other contraband. I guess The Supreme Court wants to insure that the police get to see the bare facts.

76-year-old country music singer, Jerry Lee Lewis, was recently married...
