One-month-old Jordan Pendergrass, of Castalia, spent his first Halloween at Nashville’s Cooley Library on Saturday afternoon.
Maybe no one else realized it, but for me, it was a sweet moment, one to be savored – the highlight of my rec league soccer coaching career.
With just a few minutes left in the last game of the season, the ball was struck well enough to cross the goal line before the thundering herd of defenders could sweep it clear. Unable to control myself and caught up in the moment, I threw both arms in the air and let out a “Yeah!”
On Monday, commissioners voted 4-3 to rezone a piece of property that will eventually be the home of Sanderson Farms, a chicken processing plant.
First of all, let me just say that the county claims this is not a done deal yet, that Monday’s meeting was just to rezone the property, not to approve any specific industry. But in reality, the rezoning just puts the county one step closer to signing the deal. Of course, in my opinion, this whole thing is already a done deal.
Boy am I ever glad this year’s election is over.
Though while I’m writing this column, things are still in full swing, by the time it’s published, all will be said and done!
The political mudslinging has been abundant this year, mostly between candidates running for state seats. Local school board and county commissioner candidates have run clean, positive campaigns, which I respect far more than the desperate last-minute attempts to turn voters in a different direction.
