By this time next month, Nashville’s Downtown Redevelopment Project will be just about complete.
Van Narron, of Narron Contracting, told downtown business owners last week during a monthly update that the project was on schedule and that he fully expected the project to be substantially complete by the April 28 deadline.
“We will be finished on time,” Narron said.
Someone, somewhere in this country is probably going to get some teeth knocked out, some hair pulled, or maybe even shot at before this month is out – over a college basketball game.
No, it won’t be because of a bet, or some personal involvement. It will be because of a close game, or a bad call by a ref (defined as: any call that goes against your team), or a phrase poorly chosen and uttered at the worst possible time.
I can barely remember how life was in fifth grade but there are certain things I do remember and boy, was fifth grade the start of a challenging time in my life.
As a fifth grader, you are at an age where you start to make vital decisions in life. You start getting introduced to things that teach you the importance of “no.”

We found this photo in the 1961 archives at The Graphic. If you recognize her, give us a call at 459-7101.
One thing I learned early in life, being raised up around folks in the Coopers Community, is if you throw a challenge their way, you best get ready to see some dust fly and results happen.
And that is exactly what happened Saturday. Well, maybe there was no dust flying, but there sure was a lot of hair hitting the floor and a lot of “bald men” – and a girl – walking around afterwards!

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for recently bestowing their “Business of the Year” award to us at Ward Drug Company of Nashville.

Sooner than later, the unfair and outdated property tax is going to fade into the history books. Sooner, if local public officials exercise some long needed wisdom and a little later if we must wait for the upcoming financial meltdown. Either way, it’s days as the primary source of local tax revenue are being numbered, by reality, if nothing else.

It is a shame when North Carolinians must resort to annexation repeal bills to get their voices heard. It is time that we had meaningful annexation reform which provides for a vote for those wishing to be annexed and for those who have been selected to be annexed. At no time should an annexation proceed without a vote of the people being annexed.

Jimmy Dozier wasn’t sure if Plow Day would return this year. But thanks to encouragement from Cowboys for Christ, the show will go on, though in a different location.

Someone planned on giving our group a gift Friday morning. They sought me out but they didn’t surprise us. We have six announcers. They start barking the moment a foot or a tire hits our driveway!
Lady is our guard dog. She seems very friendly, unless you touch us without having the stand-down command. She is very protective of her family, but she will allow you on the property.

Whomever it was that first said: “The more things change, the more they stay the same” got a big “Amen!” from me during opening day of spring Turkey Season, when I carried Grandpa Swanson’s old homemade box call on a hunt to surprise my dad. It was just as if Grandpa was looking over my shoulder as I worked the call to get a gobbler into range for my dad to shoot.
There were 85 in attendance in Sunday school including two visitors. Matthew Morgan read the Bible verse for today. Barbara Morgan was pianist for Sunday school. Barbara Manning provided a pretty pink hydrangea for the altar table. Thank you.
Our choir sang “I Just Keep Trusting My Lord” for the call to worship. Pastor Rogerson welcomed everyone and prayed the prayer of invocation. Hymns of worship were “O How I Love Jesus” and “Shelter in the Time of Storm.”
Sunday school began Sunday morning at 9:45. Kenneth Massengale welcomed everyone, asked about those who wanted to be on our prayer list, and had prayer. There were several on our prayer list but Carolean Hyde had requested special prayer. She has not been doing well for some time but especially this week. Keep her in your prayers, along with others you may know about.
The Baptist Men’s breakfast and meeting was held on Sunday, March 20.
