The overnight snowfall Sunday night and Monday caused the postponement of the Gibson County Commission Monday morning Jan. 10.

The meeting, with numerous resolutions scheduled for review, will be moved to Mon., Jan. 24 at 9 a.m. at the Ed Jones Agricomplex in Trenton.

Mayor Tom Witherspoon

and Emergency Management Director Rickey Graves evaluated weather and road conditions before 6 a.m. Monday after snow fell much of the night.

Early Monday, officials used the FM emergency alert system, text messaging and phone calls to get the word out about the postponement of the meeting to members of the County Commission,

other county officials and the media.

Commissioners have a long agenda of resolutions planned Jan. 24. Several elected positions will also be addressed.

A Humboldt businessman had his final curtain call when 2010 came to a close. Jeff Brown, a business partner with Michael Longmire and Jason Tubbs, is leaving ReelTime Entertainment, owners of Humboldt Plaza 3 movie theater.

“This was my sole decision to leave and has nothing to do with Mike or Jason,” Brown said last week. “I’m having to deal with some family health issues plus my work with my church.”

In January 2007, the three friends formed ReelTime Entertainment and purchased the movie theater. They rolled up their sleeves and did major renovations to the Plaza including

renovating the lobby and totally renovating the upstairs No. 3 theater with a new sound system, seats and curtains. They also upgraded the lower two theaters and added new items to the concessions.

“We revitalized a downtown business,” Tubbs noted. “That was important to us and something all three of us are proud of.”

“Jeff had something weighing on his heart and we talked before Christmas,” Longmire said. “We got everything worked out and resolved. We relinquished him from the partnership.”

Plans have been finalized for the 25th celebration of the observance of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday.

Humboldt’s community of citizens has continued to work cooperatively since 1986 to celebrate the achievements of Dr. King.

On Sunday, January 16, 2011, the two-day celebration will begin at Morning Star Baptist Church in Humboldt beginning at 5 p.m. with a musical.

Monday, January 17, 2011 will be the Grand King Parade beginning at 9 a.m. at the John H. Mathis Center near Morning Star Baptist Church.

Rejoice, reclaim, renew is theme

The theme of the Sunday event will be “The Dream, Rejoice, Reclaim, Renew” featuring drama, orations, and music.

Following the music will be the Minister’s Hour. All ministers, preachers, pastors, evangelists, male and female, an extended invitation to honor the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., first a preacher of the Gospel, who later entered the civil and social arena on the international level.

The keynote speaker for the occasion will be the Reverend Dr. Davis Willis, pastor of the Springhill Baptist Church, Eaton, Tenn.

Dr. Willis is president of the NAACP Chapter, Humboldt, dean of the Mississippi Valley District Association, member of Prince Hall Mason, Memphis, Tenn. and a member of Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.

He holds a Bachelor Degree from Lane College and Master of Theology and Doctor in Ministry from Memphis Theological Seminary, Memphis, Tenn.

A large crowd of Gibson Co. volunteer fire fighters turned out in Trenton Jan. 5, complaining to county officials about insufficient maintenance of equipment and other concerns.

Fire fighters said equipment such as air packs is faulty. They said they have to repair vehicles because Fire Chief Carmon Lannom “becomes angry that it will cost any amount of money” and threatens to take vehicles out of service.

Unpaid fire fighters also said training is not readily available, and that they have to pay out of pocket for first responder training.

Officials blamed some problems on lack of funds. The fire dept. budget was

cut 10-percent last year and has dropped by $20,000 in seven years to $156,000. Chief Lannom is the only paid member of the department.

By the end of the near three-hour meeting, officials and fire fighters agreed to improve communication and develop better systems of addressing needs.

ComplaintsAn estimated 45 volunteer

firefighters and first responders attended the meeting of the Fire, Rescue and Emergency Committee at the Emergency Services Complex. A list of complaints was presented to Chief Lannom, Mayor Tom Witherspoon and

The guest speaker will be Rev. Quill Brabham, the pastor of Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church.

Rev. Brabham served in the U.S. Air Force and retired after 21 years of service. He has served in numerous

Commissioners will also vote on adopting a 5-year strategic economic development plan, a requirement for counties and cities seeking state certification as Three-Star communities.

In county elections, three incumbents are recommended for new terms on the Agriculture Committee. Terms are for two years, and members can serve up to three terms. Incumbents are Jerry Hill (first term expiring Jan. 2011); Bruce Williams (second term expiring Jan. 2011); and Donna Parkins (second term expiring Jan. 2011).

On the Lake Planning Committee, Willie Wardlow, Jr. is recommended to replace the late Rev. John Mathis.

The term expires Sept. 2014.

But the three stress it was a mutual agreement and there was no “falling out” or other reasons for Brown leaving the business. In fact, Brown will stay on in some capacity as an advisor, promoter and even fill in when Tubbs or Longmire are away. Longmire joked and called Brown an ex-officio.

Brown’s leaving the business will in no way change the way the theater is operated other than patrons not seeing his smiling face every third weekend. In the past, the three would rotate weekends and split up the fourth, each working one day.

“We always have an owners’ presence,” Tubbs explained.

“We want to keep in touch with our customers,” Longmire added.

“That interaction is vital,” Brown noted.

The day-to-day

operations will change a bit with Brown’s leaving but Tubbs and Longmire praised their staff and emphasized the theater will still have the exact same friendly service the customers have grown to know.

“We have nine good employees,” Longmire said. “Manager Teresa Reece, she keeps this place going.”

The three admit that there were many naysayers when they decided to start their business. They knew going

in that many times friends and business do not mix.

“It’s hard when friends work together,” Brown said. “But we’ve hashed out problems or issues, and then gone out to lunch together. That stems back to our friendship.”

This is apparent by life outside of the movie theater. They formed a barbecue cooking team called ReelTime Cookers. They get together and cook three or four times a year. They sponsored the Strawberry Festival

Barbecue Cookoff for the past several years.

“We want the community to know this is not a blow-up,” Longmire said. “No one is being fired. There is no ill will.”

“We respect his decision,” Tubbs added. “The door is open for him to come back.”

“We were friends long before the business. We’ll be friends long after we walk out the doors,” Brown said.

“Our friendship bond is stronger than ever.”

A traffic stop in Gibson County prompted two arrests recently.

A Gibson County deputy and a THP trooper on patrol stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation on T.J. Scott Road near Milan. During the stop officers noted a strong chemical odor coming from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Further investigation found substances that are associated with the manufacturing of methamphetamine. White powdery substance found in the vehicle field tested positive for methamphetamine.

The operator, identified as Rusty Dale Ricketts, 29, of

570 Broad Street, Greenfield was immediately taken into custody. A passenger in the vehicle, Jessica Nicole Knight, 21, of 114 S. Main, Gibson was also found to be in possession of a bag of green plant material, which field tested positive for marijuana.

Ricketts is charged with possession of Schedule II methamphetamine, promoting to manufacture methamphetamine and manufacture of a controlled substance.

Knight is charged with possession of Schedule II methamphetamine, possession of Schedule IV marijuana, promoting to manufacture m e t h a m p h e t a m i n e , manufacture of a controlled substance and tampering with evidence.

Both were transported to the Gibson County Correctional Complex. Ricketts is currently held under $35,000 bond.

Knight was processed and released under $25,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 11 in Gibson County General Sessions Court at Trenton. Agents of the West Tennessee Violent Crime and Drug Task Force assisted in the collection of evidence.

A swearing in ceremony was held for the newly elected mayor and alderwoman prior to the Three Way City Board meeting January 3. A reception with refreshments was enjoyed beforehand by those attending.

During November’s election, Mayor Jimmy Hill and Alderwoman Mary Ann Tremblay, both incumbents, won their bids for re-election.

Hill, the city’s first mayor in 1999, is now serving his fourth term while Tremblay begins her second term on the board.

Madison County Judge Christy Little administered the oaths of office. After city officials were sworn in, it was business as usual for the board.

Mayor Hill updated the board and those attending the meeting on the progress of the new mayor’s office. He said the portable building is almost completed. The city purchased two heating and air units for the office. Mayor Hill delivered the units to the fabrication plant to be installed prior to delivery. He explained that workers would be able to cut vent holes in the walls before installing siding, which would look much better than cutting holes in the siding.

He said the building should be delivered this week.

This office will be a temporary site until city officials develop a

permanent plan for a city hall in the City of Three Way Municipal Complex. The temporary building will be located inside the maintenance area of the complex.

In other Three Way business:

•The board unanimously passed the first reading of an ordinance to amend the official city map. This will include rezoning property on Sanders Bluff Rd. The property, currently zoned highway business, will be rezoned to light industrial.

This property will be the future site for Quality Outdoors Products, which manufactures and sells metal carports. While the current zoning would allow for retail sales, it would not allow for fabrication.

Alderman Danny Wade motioned to approve the ordinance, which was seconded by Alderwoman Tremblay. A second reading of the ordinance will be held before rezoning takes effect.

•Marty Clements, director for Madison County Emergency Management Agency, requested the city approve a hazard mitigation plan. This plan allows Three Way to be a separate entity while still being included in the county plan.

The board unanimously approved a resolution for the hazard mitigation plan.

Clements said he must now get the same approval from the city of Jackson and Medon before submitting

the plan to the state.•Mayor Hill appointed

John Nichols to the City of Three Way Appeals Board.

Nichols will replace Mary Boykin who resigned after serving three years on the board of appeals.

Blake Shaver graduated from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Dec. 18, 2010, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. The dean’s list scholar will be attending law school in the fall of 2011.

He is the son of Priscilla and Randy Shaver and the grandson of Betty Jo Shaver of Humboldt. He is also the nephew of Audrey Smith of Humboldt.

ROTARY SPEAKER – Ricky Graves, director of Gibson County Emergency Management Agency was the featured speaker last Friday during the Humboldt Rotary Club’s weekly meeting. Graves talked about an upcoming national exercise in May that will include the FBI, TBI, Coast Guard, National Guard and several other agencies. Graves is putting together Point of Disaster (POD) teams to participate in the exercise and asked the Rotary Club to form a team. Pictured with Graves are club president, Terri Crider (left) and club treasurer, Sam Blackwell.

HILL TAKES OATH – Three Way Mayor Jimmy Hill is sworn into office and will now serve his fourth term as mayor. Madison County judge, Christy Little, administers the oath of office to Mayor Hill. Hill, the only mayor Three Way has had, first took office in 1999.

TREMBLAY SWORN IN – Judge Christy Little (right) administers the oath of office to newly elected Three Way alderwoman, Mary Ann Tremblay. Tremblay won her bid for re-election in November and is now serving her second term.

CIVIL WAR PROGRAM – Milan native, Brent Cox, a professor of U.S. History at the University of Tenn. Martin, will present a program on the Civil War in West Tennessee and Gibson Co. Jan. 25 in Trenton. The program at the Majestic Steak House begins at 6:30 p.m. and is hosted by the Univ. of Tenn. Alumni Chapter.

Dear Chronicle:I was pleased that the Chronicle addressed the rumor

concerning the future changing of the guard at the Humboldt Utilities office.

Thank you very much for the far and unbiased report.My concern is, if the rumor was true, we were treating

the citizens of Humboldt unfairly especially since we have a potential candidate that is in place and that is qualified with an electrical engineering degree from the University of Tennessee and includes business credits from Union University.

Surely we would not be guilty of the “good old boy system” when considering the head of the utility department.

I pray we will take advantage of finding a citizen of Humboldt (if that is possible), and someone who is both qualified and conscientious.

It has come to my attention that a representative from the city board of aldermen will represent the city on the utility board. Hmmm….

We need to stay informed and alert to the comings and goings of business that affect our lovely town. I thank the Chronicle for doing just that.

Judy M. Bowers

If you follow such things in the news, you may have noticed that you don’t read much these days about global warming any more.

Especially this week. I asked one of my global warming advocate friends about the current cold wave, and she said it’s part of “climate change.”

Whatever it is, it’s cold.We don’t like cold, and we never have. Nearly all the

cold references in metaphors and similes are negative. A cold-hearted woman. Cold as death. Cold as ice. A cool reception. An icy stare. In cold blood. You get the picture.

But we have to have cold. After all, it kills insects, doesn’t it? And in other forms, it is essential to our way of life. We hate to walk around or work in it, but we use cold in a thousand different ways.

Take air-conditioning, for example. Nobody’s thinking about it this month, but picture life in the American South or Southwest without it. Cities like Las Vegas would still be sleepy little villages without it. All sorts of buildings would never have been built were it not for air-conditioning. We may hate the cold in the winter, but we love the cool in the summer.

And that freezer compartment in your refrigerator? The one that is about five or six times larger than the one in your grandmother’s refrigerator was. Think about all that food in it that you would never get to eat if it weren’t for that cold. Most Americans alive today don’t remember a time without frozen pizza, but not so very long ago, nothing much but ice could be found in the average home refrigerator freezer

I was reminded of this the other day when I saw a 1953 ad in a magazine for a new home freezer, a revolutionary new home freezer according to the ad. They touted it as if it were a miracle, and in truth, it was, and is. I remember our refrigerator at home at the time. The freezer compartment was about 15 by 15 inches. It had four trays of ice in it, and when we ran out in the summer, that was it. If we bought ice cream we only bought a pint, because that’s all the freezer would hold. Even if frozen vegetables and fruits had been available, we wouldn’t have had room for them. Today’s freezers take up a third of refrigerator space, and even that isn’t enough for most people.

Now we buy ice cream by the gallon, and frozen meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables and boxes of hundreds of different kinds of prepared foods that we sometimes keep for months and months. And while the vegetables and fruits do not usually taste (as promised in the 1953 freezer ad) “as fresh as just picked”, their flavor usually is better than canned goods, and most people could no longer do without them.

ndeed, entire meals, already prepared, in portions large enough for entire families, are sitting in grocery store freezer sections right now, just waiting to be heated in the microwave oven and served.

Think of the time frozen foods save cooks. People

who yearn for the good old days probably never had to cook in them. And think of the things we eat today, all during the year,

that our grandparents only tasted occasionally, if at all. Seafood, for example, or raspberries. And a thousand flavors of ice cream.

Ah, ice cream. I read the other day that the average American now eats four gallons of ice cream a year. That’s something else that is relatively new.

Ice cream has a pretty interesting history. There is a cherished American myth that ice cream was introduced in America (some even say she invented it) by Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, when she served frozen strawberry custard pies at a banquet. Apparently the pies had been stored outside, and had not been brought into the kitchen in time to thaw, but the caterer served them anyway.

Supposedly, so the story goes, one guest took a bite and yelled out, “Poison!” (Many people in that era thought that eating frozen food was deadly.) Ms. Madison coolly took a bite of her own dessert, however, and proclaimed it delicious. The other guests followed suit and did likewise. After that, frozen custard took the city by storm.

Nice story, but it didn’t happen. Ms. Madison did serve strawberry ice cream at the White House, but so had President Thomas Jefferson before her. George Washington didn’t serve it, but he had eaten it at a party in Philadelphia. People in the Middle East had been eating/drinking a slushy, icy drink/food called “sharbia” since the 1400’s. The Italians first got into the gelato business in the 1500’s.

By the 1700s English noblemen and women were enjoying “cream ice”, introduced to them by the French, and naturally it made its way to America.

But back then it was a novelty to be experienced only by the very wealthy. It wasn’t available to common folk until 1846 when the ice cream churn was invented, not surprisingly, by an American. Then, suddenly, everyone screamed for ice cream. It was sold on street corners in nearly every city in America.

In the early 1900s, an ice cream cone making machine was invented, and in 1923 the individual serving size Dixie Cup (the one with the lid with the little flap) was invented, and ice cream sales really took off. During the 1920s immigration officials at Ellis Island served ice cream to new immigrants to give them a taste of the good life awaiting them in America.

Afterward, as home refrigeration advanced, so did the sales of ice cream. In the 1960s “gourmet” ice creams were introduced, at prices of up to four times those of regular ice creams, and amazingly, we couldn’t get enough of them either. We do love our ice cream, in every flavor imaginable. Even when it’s as cold as it is this week.

Hmm. That reminds me. I think there’s a little bit of that Moose Tracks left in the freezer. Yum!

Diet and obesity are currently hot topics. As is my wont, I now recall my diet in the early part of the last century.

Being the only child of my widowed mother, I grew up loathing vegetables, while she ate little meat other than chicken. I was able to vote before I was able to eat tomatoes.

Greens made me gag as they seemed to be cooked weeds. As corn bread was served with the detested vegetables, I preferred it crumbled in a glass of buttermilk. Sweet milk I brought home in a molasses bucket every evening after milking time. For years I would not drink cold milk. It had to be still warm from the cow.

A treat was peanut butter spread on a sliced banana and sprinkled with sugar. For breakfast it was biscuits (only ate them in the morning) and a large bowl of oatmeal. We collected boxes of depression glass included with the oatmeal which later in my ignorance was given away.

Ah, but we had fast food then too. Simply go to one of the many grocery stores and buy ten cents worth of bologna and crackers. For another dime you got a Hi-Rock drink and a Moon Pie. For a quarter you got a plate lunch at some of the groceries, and for a nickel more a slice of homemade pie.

As to diet, families bought flour in 24 or 48 pound sacks. Lard was bought in 10 to 25 pound buckets. Most meat was home grown, leaving sugar, salt and coffee to be staples ‘store bought’. Vitamin was an unknown word and hard work six days a week took care of exercise. By today’s standards few people were fat.

This has whetted my appetite, so I’ll see some of you soon at McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Burger King checking out the senior citizen discounts.

Dear Editor:Congratulations to the Chronicle on the article about the

Utility Dept. rumors. Along with a number of people, I have heard for the past several months that the mayor was interested in the manager’s job when Stan Little retires.

Mayor Barker is doing a good job running the city and I hope he decides to stay in that job.

The Utility Dept., as the article in the paper said, is one of Humboldt’s shining stars. They have real good people working there. One of these people has all the credentials for the job, both professional and thru on the job training.

I hope the job as manager of the Utility Dept. does not become political.

These are my thoughts on the situation. I would like to hear what other people think.

W.T. (Ted) Jones, Jr.

Have you heard what I have heard?

I got the urge to call from my memory, sounds that I heard as a child on the farm. One thing that is very different in the sounds of today and the sounds of my growing up years, is that, today, there are so many more and much louder sounds around me.

Sounds that seem to be mixing together, each one “wanting” to be the loudest, until what I hear today are “buzzing like” sounds. Sounds so jumbled that I can’t tell where they are coming from.

Car and truck engines, their exhaust pipes roaring, boom boxes “whop whopping,” helicopters “thump thump thumping,” motorcycles “whinning,” jet airplanes distant roar as they go streaking across the sky, leaving long white trails behind them. Sirens from police cars, fire trucks, ambulance’s speeding along, sounds of manufacturing plants, lawn mowers “humming” and leaf blowers “screetching.” Almost as one sound as they drawn out the sounds of people, animals, and the beautiful quiet sound of nature.

Oh, how different are the sounds of today.

It is refreshing to go back in my memory to the sounds that a sharecropper’s daughter heard and became a part of her world.

Here are some of the sounds that I remember. See if you can call them up from your memory bank.

Most of my morning sounds began with the “awakening call” of the Rhode Island Red rooster from his appointed place on the gate post of the chicken yard, “cock-a-doodle do.”

Then there was the “slop slop slop” as daddy sharpened his straight razor on the leather “strop”, the sound of the little round shaving breeth handle rattling against the side of his shaving mug as he worked the soap into a lather

to cover his chin before he shaved with his straight razor. If one listened closely they could even hear the scrape of the razor against his chin.

Then there was the pl-o-op, pl-o-o-p, as the water bubbled up in the perculator cap of the coffee pot sitting on the back burner of our wood burning kitchen stove, the scrape of the cast iron skillet across the cast iron eye, the “creek” of the oven door, the sizzle of bacon, the “crack” of eggs being opened into another skillet.

From the kitchen table you could hear tiny “sputters” coming from the “coal oil” lamp, as the oil was converted into revealing light (a miracle at work).

The “thump thump” as my brother Howard and sisters Imogene and Christine, rubbing sleepy eyes, gathered in the kitchen.

The “clank”of the “dipper” as it struck against the water bucket on the back porch and filled with well water. Water that was a staple of our lives, our cleanser, our soother, our quencher of thirst.

The scrape of “cane bottom” chairs as they were pulled up to the table.

Outside, the sound of “curly” my white pig, “grunting” and “rooting” at his feeding trough, or the “scratch, scratch” as he rubbed his right ham against the fence post.

Old “Red”, our cow, as she lay down in the feed lot with her head up, eyes wide open, “smack smacking” noisily as she chewed on her “cud”.

Annie, our mule, stomping her hoofs and swishing her tail to the rhythm of the “trace” chains “rattling” while daddy hooked her up to the wagon.

The “squeak” of the crib doors rusty hinges followed by corn ears being “shucked” and mama peeling the grain of corn off the “cobs” into the spread of her apron as she prepared corn to feed her chickens, even her “screech” as a rat

rutted its way inside the pile of corn nearby.

Mama’s chickens “scratching and clucking” as they went after the corn that Mama spread out for them.

The speckled guinea hen making her special sounds as she went around the yard searching for her food in the form of bugs, fleas and ticks.

The mourning dove “coo cooing” from her flat nest on the limb of the wild cherry tree, while big black crows called for one another as they flew across the sky on the way to the corn field.

Spread out flat against the trunk of the pecan tree, with head down, a squirrel “barked” at Mama as she watered her chickens and we gathered their eggs.

The big red rooster, with feathers raised up, prancing, as he beat his wings, just daring me to come inside his domain.

My dog “puppy” aggravating the goose, until, the goose stretched out her neck, lowered her head and “went after” her tormentor sending him yelping on his way, pleading for someone to help him.

Down the road, the sound of Mr. Baucum calling out to his boys to get at their chores.

The jingle and squeak as daddy hung the cotton scales onto its hook on the pale mounted on the back corner of the wagon, and the sound of cotton socks dragging along the ground as we came to the wagon. The squeak of the wagon side boards, the crunch of the steel rims of the wagon wheels against the road gravel. The slap of the reins against Annie’s back, the clap clop” of her hoofs in response, the “tink tink” as the water jugs hit together when the wagon ran over a bump, the rhythm of the trace chains clicking together as we rode to the waiting cotton field.

In the cotton field we heard the “squeaking” of the Killdeer as she folded

out her wing and scattered along like she was injured, to draw us away from her little speckled eggs laid on the ground against a cotton plant.

The “whurning” sudden sound of a covey of quail as we scared them up into flight.

Then Daddy’s call to get “every bit” of cotton and to pick it “clean”. The sound of Pearl singing her “spirituals” as her quick long fingers filled her cotton sack.

The noise a mason jar lid makes, being opened, as we got to the end of a row and were rewarded with a welcomed drink of water while we anxiously listened for the distant sound of someone’s dinner bell calling out “eating time”.

So many soothing sounds, the flapping of clothes on the clothes line. The “ch-chunk ch-chunk” of the “dasher” in the “churn” as one of us kids churned for butter.

The high pitched buzz of the mosquitoes. The clucking of the mama hen as she fluffed out her feathers to hide her chicks from the hawk in the top of a dead tree.

The sound of the whistle and hiss of escaping steam as a distant train passed through Gibson on its way to parts unknown.

The sound of the night birds as the settled into the trees outside my bedroom window. The howl of a distant hound dog talking to the full moon. The hoot of the barn owl. The rustle of the grass as some night animal hurried along.

The “belly deep” “belly deep” of the bull frogs on the pond banks.

I remember these sounds of people, animals, and things, even the absence of sounds, as I lay in my feather bed.

The most missed of all sounds, though, is the sound of Mama’s tiptoes as she comes to the door to look in to see that I am truly safe and sound.

Church anniversaryGreater Sixth Street Missionary Baptist Church, Pastor

Thomas Emery, Humboldt will be celebrating their church anniversary January 16, 2011 at 2 p.m. Special guests will be Pastor Robert Jones, Hill’s Chapel Church from Memphis, Tenn. and Pastor John Paul Jones (former pastor of First Baptist Church in Jackson, Tenn.). Sunday services begin at 11 a.m., with Bible study on Tuesday nights at 6 p.m.

The heavy metal band Korn banged on their instruments, rasping out lyrics I couldn’t understand. I didn’t care. I was anxiously awaiting Ozzie Osborne—the headliner.

This was nine years ago. Screaming, spilled beer and the whiffs of marijuana smoke framed the atmosphere. Even though I was over 40, this seemed normal.

The Bible says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to destruction.”

My life seemed right. It was hip to be over 40 going to a rock concert. My construction business was flourishing. A disciplined exercise routine kept me in top physical shape. I had a beautiful wife. And I was well thought of in the community.

The truth. I was tired of rock concerts. Work was consuming my life. My exercise program was an egotistical, often pleasureless pursuit. My marriage was a disaster. And if my 15 year secret addiction ever became public . . . an instant pile-of-rubble image crash.

Destruction was catching me in the race of life.

At work a few months later, a fellow non-believer

approached me, “Hey, check this out.” A Christian-rock radio station? I didn’t know such a thing existed—I got hooked.

Lyrics like, “People say I’m strange; does that make me a stranger? My best friend was born in a manger,” gripped my soul. More importantly the radio preachers’ messages injected life into my dying existence.

It could have been just another trip to the lumber yard.On the radio that day, Pastor Greg Laurie said, “Are you

tired of the life your living? Isn’t it time you invited Jesus Christ into your life?” Right there in my truck, I prayed to Jesus and committed my life to following Him.

Now, I’m anxiously awaiting Jesus.

Happy birthday wishes go to Sandra Cole as she’s celebrating a birthday this week. Truly hope she has a great day.

Also happy birthday greetings go to Mrs. Myrtrice Griffin as she’ll be celebrating a memorial birthday January 13. As usual her children will see that she has a great birthday.

We extend get well wishes to Garland Kail. Garland was rushed to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital Friday and is receiving treatment there. We wish you a rapid recovery Garland.

Sorry to hear of Doris Langford’s fall, but glad there were no broken bones. Doris had an accident three or four years ago and used a walker for a long time when her daughter Susan stayed with her day and night, while healing. We are lucky to have family members by your side.

It must be a year for falling as Lois Hench fell in the bath tub this morning and her help called for Louise Prince to come help her. Again, no broken bones.

We are all looking for snow, at this period of writing, but my jonquils are peeping through and sometimes we have blooms in January.

BY PAT DUNLAPAND SUSAN WILSON

I have been so blessed all my life but, the last 11 years is somewhat a miracle. I was diagnosed with lung cancer and amazingly I was successful in a strong recovery. My dad, Lawrence Byno Carter, died at age 60 with lung cancer. I was 60 when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. This was so depressing for me and I shut down for two days. I have always had a well check up each year and had I not someone else would be writing this article. The late Martha Tillman was diagnosed a couple of months before I was. We had the same type of cancer, but she, like I, had a choice of going through chemo and brain radiation. She chose not to. That was in 2001. Many years later I was diagnosed with breast cancer and once again

I went through six weeks of radiation. It is very hard to find cancer from a chest x -ray. A cat scan is the way, but not many if any doctors prescribe a cat scan for a well check up. I was blessed as the cancer showed up on a chest x-ray. Please get a check up each year.

Congratulations to Big Boy Graves for having a new great-granddaughter.

Lift up Bob Duvall, Hudson Atkins, Lois Smith, Silva Caldwell Hills, the father of our minister Rev. Justin Ramer, Johnnie Gall, Susan Cooper, Dr. Billy Couch, Franklin Stills, Jesse Freeman and James Sims in your prayers.

Coming to the senior citizens center on Central will be a line dancing class taught by Bill Yates. I am very excited and will be going. This will be Tuesday mornings from 9:30 until 11

Many of us have been saddened by the death of little two-year-old twin great-granddaughter of Jack and Mary Ed Ramsey. The little blonde twin just did not wake up. After an autopsy I think she had had meningitis with no symptons. Special prayer is going up for the entire Ramsey family.

Many are saddened by the death of Sammy Forsythe. He was a very young man and will be missed deeply. Another sad death was the daughter of Geraldine Couch Persons and the late Dr. Charlie Couch. Jere was bludgeoned to death in her Memphis home. She was only 51 years old. Her friend was shot to death.

Firefightersthe committee chaired by Com. Bruce Williams of Humboldt.

“A lot of your concerns are not so much Carmon’s concern as it is ours,” said Williams. “We cut his budget by $20,000; we’re asking him to do more with less. We try to listen to taxpayers

the document. Chris Plunkett, assistant

chief at Moore’s Chapel was a key speaker. He said Lannom rarely attends station meetings when equipment is tested. “Needs are relayed to Chief Lannom and are never addressed,” he said. “It’s like we’re talking to deaf ears.”

If a volunteer persists in seeking to have equipment repaired, Lannom “hastily complies and treats that person with total disrespect,” noted the complaint.

Plunkett and Trey Rollins, Moore’s Chapel fire chief, showed an air pack they said needed repairing and said other packs were in similar condition. “How are you supposed to be safe in a house fire when you know there are safety features that are not working?” asked Plunkett.

“We’re not taking this lightly,” said Bruce Williams. “We want (equipment) to be safe where you can go into a fire where you don’t have to slow down and you can feel comfortable with it. We need a better system of addressing this so you’re not frustrated.”

There was applause from the audience when Com. Wayne Morris, a committee member said it would be beneficial to invite stations’ chiefs to attend committee meetings.

Plunkett asked why the county does not have scheduled maintenance for fire vehicles when Chief Lannom’s vehicle is maintained. He questioned liability risks of volunteers making repairs. “If one of these members works on truck and something happens, who’s going to be at fault?” said Plunkett. “If oil leaks out the first thing you’ll want to know is, ‘Who worked on that truck?’”

Firemen said there have been long delays in qualified mechanics making complex repairs. Chief Lannom and Milan Fire Chief James Fountain said only one or two mechanics in West Tennessee are certified to perform some work. “I don’t

know of any fire department that doesn’t have issues with equipment,” said Fountain. “A lot of these issues go back to funding. You only have so much money to work with.”

Bruce Williams said Lannom “acted wisely” in not spending funds at times. Lannom said the county had to have matching funds on hand to secure grants, such as grants to buy two, new tanker trucks. Williams said new equipment can help avoid repair costs. Lannon was credited for collecting insurance payments on house fires, something the former chief did not do, officials said.

Training needsChris Plunkett said

training benefits fire fighters but complained that volunteers have to pay out of pocket and are not adequately notified about training opportunities. “It’s not right that we have to pay for our training,” said Plunkett.

“This is something this committee needs to consider - how can we be more user friendly for y’all about training,” said Williams. “We have been remiss in probably not funding more for the training.”

Ryan Shanklin, a county volunteer and Bradford asst. fire chief said he would try to hold training classes for volunteers. “It’s harder to cut hair in Tennessee than it is to fight fires; that’s not right,” said Shanklin. “I personally want the person that’s with me going into that house to know what they’re doing. There needs to be more funding added to his budget for training. You’re asking these guys and girls to come out on their own time and take these classes.”

New commissioner Melvin Morris, in the audience, criticized the lack of support given volunteer fire fighters. “They’re not asking for anything tonight that they haven’t been asking for the last several years,” said Morris. “But they can’t get it. Everybody wants to be treated fairly,

and we know for a fact that hasn’t happened.”

Bruce Williams said station chiefs should put requests in writing and when not satisfied file complaints to the fire committee. Fire fighters will also be invited to committee meetings.

“I appreciate you bringing your concerns,” said Williams. “Sometimes you don’t know how mad your wife is until she throws a skillet at you.”

Mayor Witherspoon said funding for fire equipment and training has to be budgeted by county commissioners. “I can’t thank you enough for what you do,” Witherspoon told volunteers. “It’s our responsibility to be as fair to you as we can be. I’ll work within the confines of the budget. We can eliminate a lot of these problems by communicating effectively.”

Trey Rollins and Chris Plunkett said they hoped the meeting will help resolve problems.

“At least we got a road started, and we can start driving down the road,” said Plunkett. “We’ll follow up and see where we can get.”

Chief Lannom, in his seventh year, said he would try to improve communication with chiefs.

“Some good points and good concerns were brought out,” said Lannom after the meeting. “Those concerns will be addressed, not overnight, but as quickly as we can. The bottom line is money. You can only do what you can pay for.”

He noted two utility bills for fire stations were $561 and $898.

“We’ve got a good county fire department,” Lannom added. “When things get to going (the volunteer fire fighters) are always there. They did good work during the floods and the tornadoes. I think we have one of the best fire departments in Tennessee.”

“We’re going to have closer communication talking to the station chiefs,” Lannom said.

and not continually raise taxes. Putting first responder vehicles in his stations has nothing to do with his budget.”

“We’re not adversarial here,” said Williams, a former volunteer chief. “We want to find a path to make this work. We value each and every one of you. I’m a

product of the fire service, and I still feel like we have the very best fire and rescue service in the state of Tennessee.”

Many complaints were critical of Lannom. “Chief Lannom refuses to pay for the cost of simple training programs that can benefit every department,” stated

LASHLEE CROWNED - Medina Middle School Homecoming was held in December. Fraley Lashlee was crowned queen. Lashlee (third from right) is joined by members of the court, (from left) Christen King, Hailey Hudgings, Shaelyn Horner, (Queen Fraley Lashlee), Josie Estes and Rebecca Ferrell.

For the second year, employees of Humboldt’s Reinhausen Manufacturing brightened the faces of children at Christmas.

Employees participated in being Santa Claus to a boy and girl, 10 and 11 years old.

The children provided a Christmas wish list, and employees put their money together and collected over $ 300 to buy gifts for them. The girl received various gifts including slouch boots, jewelry, sweaters, and more. A special Mongoose bicycle was purchased for the young boy.

The children reside at Southern Christian Home (SCH) in Morrilton, Arkansas. SCH provides for

children that are orphaned, dependent, neglected or abused.

This seemingly small effort in turn brightened the faces of Reinhausen employees.

“It really does make you feel good when you give from the heart,” says Joyce Garrison of Reinhausen. Wanda Grabe and Mario Ondarza coordinated this effort.

REINHAUSEN SANTAS - Among employees playing Santa are Karen King, Jennifer Kail, Tommy Martin, Latonya Carter (sitting), Molly Ward, Laurie White, Joyce Garrison, and Mario Ondarza.

assured themselves with an above .500 record as they won twice last week. The Jr. Lady Vikings went on the road to Milan and got the New Year going with a 28-21 win over the Jr. Lady Bulldogs. Then on Thursday night the Jr. Lady Vikings won their ninth game of the season with a 37-34 win over WTAC foe Northview Lady Mustangs on Parents’ Night. Humboldt is now 9-5 overall and 6-4 in conference play.

BY BARRY DELOACHHumboldt Middle won their final

home game on Thursday night on Parents’ Night. There was a huge crowd on hand to witness the Jr. Vikings thump the Northview Mustangs 59-41. Earlier in the week the Vikings lost a tough game at Milan 44-40. The team was without head coach Junior Reid on the sidelines. Coach Reid left Tuesday’s game with some chest pain. Reid had a stint put in early Wednesday morning and is doing great. Assistant Coach George Yarbrough did a great job on preparing the team on Thursday and evened their record to 7-7.

Jr. Vikings 59 Mustangs 41Coach Reid received a standing

ovation during the parent’s recognition when his name was called out and then his team went out and whipped Northview by 18 points. Humboldt barely beat the Stangs at their place but played a complete game at home on Thursday.

Daylon Ballard and Octavious Ferguson gave Humboldt Middle the early lead at 5-0. Ballard hit another trey at the 3:54 mark and Ferguson made a steal and hit a lay-up to give Humboldt a 10-1 advantage. After Ballard hit his third bomb in less than four minutes, Northview called a timeout as they were down 13-2. The Jr. Vikes’ biggest lead of the quarter came when K.D. Thomas made a steal and hit an easy lay-up to make it 18-4. The Stangs hit two late buckets and trailed by 10 after one.

Northview continued their good play in the second period as they went on a 6-0 run and

BY BARRY DELOACHIt’s been a difficult stretch

for the Vikings the last few weeks as they fell from the undefeated ranks at the Gibson Co. Christmas tournament to Peabody. On Tuesday night, Humboldt lost a second consecutive game in a non-district match-up with powerhouse North Side. Then on Friday night at home, the Vikings escaped with a 72-66 overtime win over District 14A foe South Fulton. South Fulton came ready to play and nearly took down the Vikings. Humboldt improves to 11-2 overall but remains undefeated at 7-0 in district play.

Vikings 72 S. Fulton 66The Red Devils are used to

getting pounded by the Vikings but Friday night at home, South Fulton came ready to play. Humboldt was a little short handed with Tevin Bryson out with a stomach virus. South Fulton shot the ball well and gave Humboldt all they wanted the entire game. The Red Devils led 9-4 with 4:47 to play in the first. Humboldt took their first lead of the night at 13-11 as J.K. Kimble scored at the 2:23 mark. A 10-2 run by the Vikings gave Humboldt an 18-13 lead after one quarter.

Humboldt could not shake the pesky South Fulton team as they shot the ball well from beyond the 3-point arc and rebounded the ball as well. Midway through the second frame, South Fulton went on a 9-2 run and retook the lead from the Vikings with 3:10 left in the half. Antonio Brooks hit an NBA three with 48 seconds left to put Humboldt up 30-28. The Vikes led by one at the half.

In the second half, the Red Devils took their time on each possession running clock and not wanting to get into a track meet with the Vikings. Humboldt played zone defense most of the night, which was to the liking of the Red Devils coach. The lead bounced back and forth early in the third period but Humboldt took the lead back on a shot from C.C. Moody. Devonte Pirtle’s three and Quan Campbell’s floater gave Humboldt their biggest lead of the night thus far at 45-39. South Fulton hit a bomb at the buzzer to cut it to three points.

BY BARRY DELOACHOn Friday night at home, the

Humboldt Lady Vikings pulled out a win South Fulton with the help of a technical foul. Humboldt trailed 52-42 with 3:42 left in the game. With the game tied at 53, Humboldt’s Ashley Brown hit 1-of-2 from the line and Dominique Shivers hit two free throws to post a 56-53 victory. On Tuesday night, Humboldt stepped out of district play and lost 65-50 to the North Side Lady Indians.Lady Vikes 56 S. Fulton 53Humboldt played at the first

of the game and then again at the end of the game to come away with a hard-earned 3-point win in District 14A.

Shakayla Gaines scored Humboldt’s first five points to give Humboldt a 5-2 advantage. Points from Amber Pearson, Breuna Lenon and Shivers led to a 12-2 lead for Humboldt. South Fulton began to crawl back into the game but by the end of the quarter, Pearson scored at the buzzer to make it 16-8.

The second quarter was a series of runs. South Fulton started out with a 6-0 run to pull within two points. Coach Louis Johnson called a timeout and Humboldt answered with a 6-0 run of their own to push the lead to 22-14. The Lady Red Devils didn’t quit as they counter with an 8-2 run and Humboldt led 24-22 at the half.

The game went back and forth at the beginning of the third period. There were four lead changes before the Lady Red Devils began to pull away

Lady Vikings handily beat the Lady Mustangs by 14 points but Thursday night’s final home game was a little more difficult.

The first quarter looked like it would be a blowout like the last game as Karnesha Meadows and Shanteria Marable led Humboldt with four and five points respectively. Meadows’ bucket with 36 seconds on the clock made it 9-2 in favor of the Jr. Lady Vikes.

In the second frame, Humboldt could not find the rim, at least not from field. The Jr. Lady Vikings were 0 for whatever. Humboldt

however was 6-of-10 from the charity stripe to help stay in the game. Northview, who had just two points in the first quarter, scored 13 in the second frame and tied the game at 15-15 at the break.

As well as Northview played in the second period, they played badly in the third. Humboldt on the other hand, took control of the game in third quarter with a 10-0 blitz. Kierra Conner got the half started with a bucket. Kaylah Johnson then scored four straight

the lead was down to four points with 3:02 left in the half. Coach Yarbrough called a timeout and the Jr. Vikings answered with a 5-1 run. Humboldt pushed the lead back to double digits as Troy Agnew scored a couple of buckets but the Mustangs cut it to 27-21 at the break.

Ballard and Ferguson picked up right where they had left off from the start of the game as they combined for an 8-2 run by the Jr. Vikings. Ferguson’s big three made it 35-23 with five minutes on the scoreboard in the third period. After a Mustang bucket, Jaylon Strayhorn hit a bomb and with 29 seconds left in the third. Joseph Rice got in on the fun from three point land as he hit

Humboldt’s sixth 3-pointer of the night. Ferguson scored with 12 seconds left and the Jr. Vikes had a huge 47-29 lead headed to the fourth.

Humboldt led by as many as 21 points in the fourth before Coach Yarbrough pulled his starters and the Jr. Vikings went onto a 59-41 victory.

Humboldt Middle had three players in double digits with Ballard at 20, Ferguson with 13 and Agnew had 12. Other Humboldt scorers were Jaylon Fair with four, Thomas, Strayhorn and Rice with three apiece and Cornelius Watson with one.

Northview cut it seven points with 4:21 left in the game until Denisha Emerson canned a long-range three with four minutes left in the game. It ended up being a huge bucket as that was the final margin of the game. Conner scored with 3:36 left in the game to make it 30-21. Northview went into foul mode and after hitting 3-of-6, Humboldt Middle led 35-24 with 1:22 on the clock. Over the next 82 seconds, the Lady Mustangs closed the gap to five points until Marable scored with 18 seconds left to lead 37-30. Northview scored two quick buckets but it wasn’t enough as Humboldt won 37-34.

Marable was the leading scorer with 11 points followed by Johnson with 10, Conner with six, Meadows with four, Emerson with three and LaDestiny Cox with three.

by four points. Brown hit a 3-point bomb with 3:49 left in the third to make it 34-33. South Fulton then went on a 7-1 run to end the third quarter and led by seven.

In the fourth, South Fulton pushed their lead to double digits at 52-42 with 3:41 left on the clock and appeared on their way to a win over the Lady Vikings. Lenon and Shivers then combined to lead the Lady Vikes to within four. Shivers hit a huge “3” with 44 seconds left to make it 53-51. Humboldt then went for a steal and with 24 seconds left, Latia Collings stole the ball at midcourt and hit a streaking Gaines to tie the game at 53. Humboldt played great defense the last 17 seconds and got the rebound with 3.4 seconds left. During the timeout, the South Fulton coach was assessed a technical foul for arguing a missed foul call. Brown hit 1-of-2 on the tech. Then on the inbounds play, Shivers was fouled, went to the line and sank two free throws for the 56-53 district win.

Shivers had 14 of her season high 15 points in the all-important fourth period. Pearson had 13 points and Gaines had 12 big points as she got the start on the night. Lenon had seven points and had made crucial steals in the fourth quarter. Brown had six points followed by LaShunta Cook with two and Zana Morris with one.North Side 65 Humboldt 50

North Side looked like they would spank the Lady

scoring affair and continued to be patient on offense. Humboldt did push the lead to as high as seven points as Pirtle hit a couple of free throws to make it 49-42. Moments later, another bomb from South Fulton got them right back into the game. It stayed close the rest of the game and with 41 seconds left, the Red Devils tied the game on their fifth 3-pointer of the night. Humboldt had the ball and took the last shot as Campbell hit a floater but he was called for charging and the ref wiped the basket away sending the game into overtime tied at 60-60.

Chris McLilly hit the first bucket of the overtime period but South Fulton responded with four straight points and took the lead. After a timeout, Coach Boykin set up a play for Brooks and he knocked down a three to put Humboldt ahead to stay with 1:09 on the clock. After a missed shot by the Red Devils, Campbell hit a lay-

Campbell hit two free throws with 30 seconds left to put the Vikes up 70-64. South Fulton hit a jumper to cut it to four but Campbell was fouled on the next possession. He sank two more free throws to seal the overtime win at 72-66.

Campbell led the way with 17 big points. Martin had 16 points and numerous rebounds. Kimble had 14 points, Brooks with eight, Moody and McLilly with six each and Pirtle finished with five.North Side 85 Vikings 73Humboldt took on a

talented Indian team to begin the 2011 part of the basketball season and came away with their second loss of the season. The Indians and Vikings fought tooth and nail the first period as Humboldt had the best of

the visitors to begin the game. Martin was a force on the inside and had eight big points. Bryson had four points in the paint and Brooks knocked down a three-ball as the Vikes led 15-12 after one period.

In the second frame, North Side began to assert themselves on the boards and had several blocked shots in the period. With 2:40 left in the half, Martin hit 1-of-2 free throws to pull the Vikings to within 25-22. The Indians went on an 11-0 to end the half and had a commanding 14-point lead at the half.

Midway through the third quarter, the 14-point bulge crept its way to the 20s. With 4:58 left in the third, North Side led 48-28. Humboldt whittled away at the lead in third as they made a couple of mini-runs against the Indians and cut the deficit down to 14 points. Campbell had a big quarter with 13 points and Bryson chipped in eight points to help keep Humboldt close.

Humboldt went on a 6-2 run to begin the fourth to cut the lead down to 10 points. After an Indian timeout,

Vikings in warm-ups but midway through the first quarter, the Lady Indians knew they were in for a fight. Humboldt got a great defensive effort in the first and second quarters to stay close. There were eight lead changes in the first period as five different Lady Vikes scored.

Humboldt trailed 14-13 after one period but a 7-1 run at the beginning of the second gave North Side a bigger lead. Santia Pettigrew and Lenon got Humboldt back into the game. With 1:04 on the clock, Humboldt had pulled to within 23-21. North Side led 25-21 at the break.

The Lady Vikings started the second half a little flat and North Side took advantage. Midway through the period, a 12-2 run by the Lady Indians put the game away. The 7-point lead went to 17 with 1:16 left on the board. Humboldt cut to 14 by the end of the quarter.

In the final period, North Side made one more run and took their biggest lead of the night at 18. Humboldt could have quit but didn’t. Shivers, Pearson and Pettigrew combined for a Lady Viking 10-0 run and cut it to 54-44 with 5:22 left in the game. Humboldt would not make a late run as they simply ran out of gas and lost the game by the final score of 65-50.

Three players were in double figures with Lenon at 13, Shivers 12, Pettigrew 11 followed by Pearson with six, Morris with four and Cox with four.

North Side hit a bucket but Brooks answered with a three. Martin scored three the old-fashioned way plus another bucket with 4:31 on the clock to make it 68-62. North Side called another timeout to stop the Humboldt run. The Vikes had gotten back into the game with defense, which led to easy buckets. After a steal by Campbell, he was fouled. Campbell hit 1-of-2 and the Vikes were within five with still plenty of time on the clock. The Indians then reeled off five unanswered the lead was back to 10. Humboldt didn’t quit as Martin and Campbell took the ball to the hoop and kept getting fouled, hitting 7-of-8 to narrow the deficit down to 77-72. North Side went on an 8-1 run in the last 90 seconds of the game to win 85-73. The Vikes dug a hole too big to get out of as they lost their second straight game.

Campbell and Martin led the Vikes with 23 points each. Bryson had 14 points in the paint followed by Brooks with nine, Moody with two and Williams with one.

Humboldt got 2011 off to a good start with a win at Milan on Tuesday last week. In their first meeting, the Jr. Lady Vikes won 28-20. It was an almost identical score as Humboldt won 28-21.

The ladies led 10-6 after one period of play as five different players scored for Humboldt Middle.

Then in the second, the Jr. Lady Vikes went stone cold and did not score a bucket. Milan had just three points in the second period but Humboldt still had a slim 10-9 lead.

In the third quarter, Humboldt out scored Milan 8-6 and increased their lead to 18-15 with one period to play.

In the fourth quarter, Johnson had six big points and Cox had four as Humboldt held on for a 28-21 victory.

Johnson led Humboldt with eight points. Marable and Cox had six each, Meadows had four, and two each for Emerson and Conner.

but Milan got their revenge on Tuesday night in the first game of the New Year.

The Jr. Vikings got off to a slow start as Milan led 12-7 after one period.

Humboldt played a little better in the second frame but still faced a 17-14 deficit at the half.

The first part of the second half is always important and Humboldt was never really got on track. The Jr. Bulldogs out scored the Jr. Vikings 15-9 in the third period and built a 9-point advantage.

Humboldt tried to rally in the fourth as Ballard had a huge quarter scoring 11 of the Jr. Vikings’ 17 points. Humboldt outscored Milan 17-12 in the fourth but it wasn’t enough as the Jr. Dogs held on for a 44-40 win.

Ballard finished with 17 points, the only player in double figures for Humboldt. Thomas had nine, Agnew with six, Watson with five, Malik Epperson with two, and one point each for Ferguson and Ben Koffman.

The Jr. Vikings are 7-7 on the season and are 7-3 in the WTAC standings.

JUST TOO QUICK - Octavious Ferguson blows past a Northview Mustang player after a steal for two of his season high 13 points. Humboldt thumped Northview by 19 points.

BACKCOURT PRESSURE - Humboldt Middle’s Denisha Emerson applies backcourt pressure on this Lady Mustang during Humboldt’s 37-34 WTAC win over Northview.

RUNNER IN THE PAINT - Senior Rendell Martin had a season high 23 points against South Fulton. The Vikes needed every point as they held off the Red Devils in overtime 72-66.

OFF THE GLASS - Lady Viking Zana Morris scores in the paint against North Side. Morris had four points in the Lady Vikes’ 65-50 loss to the Lady Indians.
