RECYCLING
NEW BINS CAUSING CONFUSION Program improvements are scheduled to take place Wednesday
By LAURA GADDY Consolidated News Service Jacksonville City Clerk Dot Wilson spent part of Monday sorting through confusion about recycling program improvements, which are scheduled to take effect Wednes-
day. Since the 95-gallon recycling bins were issued this month, some residents have asked city officials to take them back, others have had questions about collection times and a few residents have become confused about which items they can leave in the large recycling cans. Some of the confusion came
because the flyers that were attached to the bins included conflicting information and some confusion came because some people never spotted the informational flyers that were supposed to be issued with the recycling cans, city employees said. “I’ve had a lot of people call in and say there was nothing on their carts,” said Mary

Dr. David Wade is on the brink of doing something he wanted to fresh out of high school. He’s leaving in September to attend medical school a t Wa s h i n g t o n University of Health and Sciences in San Pedro, Belize, on the island of Ambergris Cay. He heard good things about the Dr. David Wade school from a friend and, after doing a lot of checking, he realizes this is the school for him. After graduating from Balboa High School in the Republic of Panama in 1974, Wade enrolled at Jacksonville State University in that same year. His plan was to join the ROTC, stay four years at JSU and let the military pay for his medical education. His plan changed when he received a scholarship to the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N. Y. He graduated from there in 1978 with a degree in engineering, but not before injuring his neck while playing rugby in 1976. ■ See WADE, page 7

TOWN & GOWN
JSU, Taizhou University in study tour together By Heather Greene, a graduate assistant in the Office of Public Relations at JSU
This summer a group of eight honors students and two instructors from Jacksonville State University had the opportunity to travel to Taizhou University (TU) in Linhai City, China (about 5 hours south of Shanghai) for an unforgettable study tour. The honors students selected for the trip were: Noah Trudeau, Lyndsey Bonner, Trent Ford, Whitney Gaut, Gregory Felch, Lea Isbell, Kayla Falvo, and Zane Alexander. For three of the students, this was their second experience in China, as they had been a part of the study tour that went in May 2012. Dr. Teresa Reed, Professor of English, and Dr. Aaron Garrett, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, are both Honors Board members and were selected to lead the study tour. Before leaving for China, the students met in early July as a class and were required to read articles by Alain de Botton on travel literature and a book by Polly Evans called Fried Eggs with Chopsticks. After a total of 16 hours en route to China, the students arrived at Taizhou University, which is relatively the size of JSU, but situated in a city of about six million. With lessons about Chinese music, literature, and language in addition to Kongfu and TaiChi sessions, the group’s schedule was packed. After a day full of Chinese activities and experiences, the students would often go out around town at night to eat, shop, or explore. One evening, some Chinese students introduced the JSU group to KTV, which is basically a large karaoke bar. They enjoyed this dining experience so much that they returned twice during their stay at Taizhou. Gregory Felch, a senior art major, found the KTV to be his favorite experience of this trip. Lea Isbell, a junior at JSU, explains she is considering working towards certification to teach English as a second language and returning to TU to teach. In fact, a couple of the JSU students returned to America with an interest to possibly return to TU to teach English. During their time at TU, the JSU students and instructors attended the graduation performance of the Senior Performing Arts students, which had been postponed just so that the JSU guests could be a part of it, despite the fact that this placed the performance in the middle of the Taizhou students’ final exam week. So, a school of about 17,000 students delayed the biggest night of their year for their 10 JSU guests. “This was hard to believe; we felt like rock stars,” said

Jacksonville State University and Taizhou students in China. Dr. Reed. “This is just another example of how gracious the Chinese people and specifically the faculty, staff, and students at Taizhou are.” “I can’t begin to explain in so few words how much I loved this trip,” said business major Noah J. Trudeau. “JSU is beyond lucky to be able to have such a friendship with Taizhou University and I hope many more students get a chance to have this experience.” Dr. Garrett, like everyone else on the trip, said, “The best thing about the trip, hands down and by far, was the people. All of the people we met were amazing! The Taizhou students and faculty and administrators were so gracious and giving of their time and assistance…The goodbyes on the last day were tearful for pretty much everyone.” This cultural exchange does not stop with JSU’s trip to China, but is a two-way relationship with TU. JSU recently welcomed a group of two Taizhou teachers and 15 students for their own study tour in America. From the moment the Chinese students landed in America, their days were scheduled to give them an idea of what it would be like to be a JSU student. A special performance by K.B. Solomon, a trip to
see the JSU Storybook Theater performance of “Snow White,” Zumba lessons, a tour of the new film studio in Jacksonville and shopping excursions were among the various activities planned for the visiting students. As the JSU students were thoroughly impressed with the kindness of everyone from TU, so were the Chinese students impressed with the southern hospitality they met with in Jacksonville. One TU student, a biology major who hopes to become a journalist, was greatly impressed with the JSU stadium, indoor basketball coliseum, and the apples she tried while on campus. Not only was the trip an enhancing and enjoyable experience for the students from TU, but the TU instructors also greatly relished their time at JSU. Wa Lan, an instructor from TU on his second trip to JSU, enjoyed their study tour as much as the students and felt that he will be leaving with many more friends this time. He feels that his students were able to greatly learn about America and what it is like living in the American culture.

We should insist on a quieter world When my three children were teenagers, sometimes I would tell them that their music was too loud. Their reply: “Mom, if it’s too loud, you are too old.” Payback came last year. My daughter and I were riding along with her two children in the backseat. They were listening to music on some sort of devices, and they were talking, too. “Be quiet and turn that music off,” she told them as she looked at me, as if in dread. I could not help but say, “Now, you’re the one who is too old.” Loud noises have negative effects on us, no matter our age. They damage our ears, make us nervous, cause hypertension, and contribute to stress. Also, some people who have attended a late-night concert can attest to the fact that hearing loud noises before going to bed interferes with sleep. I used to hear and read much more about the dangers of noise pollution than I do now, and I wonder why. Maybe the issue has taken a back seat to other types of pollution, but it is still a danger – one I no longer tolerate, if I can help it. I have walked out of three events in the past two years because they were too loud. One event I almost walked out of was the latest Superman movie. It was painfully loud so my movie

companion and I decided to leave. We stopped by the customer-service desk to complain. Four young people listened politely to our complaints, smiled weakly, and said they were sorry. My friend and I walked away. “They don’t get it,” she
said and shrugged. Sadly, young people do not listen to the things we people of a more mature age try to tell them. Noises are not the only issues. Some include using more sunscreen, eating more fruits and vegetables, taking vitamins, and avoiding bodily stresses. I guess the younger generations will learn the hard way, as my generation has. Regarding noise, though, too many of my friends are suffering from hearing loss because of noise stress earlier in their lives. How I wish young people would take note.
Following are some ways all of us can cut down on damage to our ears: Wear protective ear plugs. Ask the makers of lawnmowers, blowers, and lawn trimmers to cut back on the noise. Communicate with television producers and let them know we dislike being blasted with commercials, a situation that seems to have improved lately. Ask for low-noise products. I used to buy low-noise hairdryers. I can’t find them anymore. Recently, I was driving in another city. Apparently they had no noise ordinance against loud radios, mufflers, or motorcycles. One good thing about living in Anniston is that drivers can be held responsible for too much noise. This year, I have heard only one super loud car radio on Quintard Avenue. Of course, some loud noises are necessary, such as those made by ambulances and fire trucks. Car and house alarms need to be loud, I suppose, but owners should be more aware of accidentally tripping them, especially in the middle of the night as one of my neighbors tends to do. The responsible thing here is to speak out politely (and quietly). We need to have a quieter world. We would all be better off for it. Email Sherry at sherrykug@hotmail.com
Next year will have key elections across state
Last week we handicapped the 2014 Governor’s Race but it is definitely not the only race on the ballot next year. In fact, all constitutional offices are up for election as well as all 140 seats in the legislature and all 67 sheriffs. Indeed, this is the big election year in Alabama. Many states in the union point to the presidential year as their big year. They have their governors running concurrently with the president. That is not the case here in the Heart of Dixie. Our founding fathers appear intuitive in retrospect. They somehow perceived that we would be more interested in who is our governor, sheriff or state representative than who is president when they put all of

our good races in our gubernatorial years. Historically, more people have shown up Steve vote for governor Flowers to than president in Alabama. So what do we have to look forward to next year besides the governor’s Inside The Statehouse race? It has gone completely under the radar but our junior senator, Jeff Sessions, is up for election next year. Sessions will probably only have token opposition. He has voted lockstep with most Alabama voters on all issues since his arrival on the Potomac. Sessions is considered one of the three most conservative senators in Washington. That is appropriate since we are one of the most conservative states in America. He is a safe bet to return to the senate for another six years. In the past the job of lieutenant governor was a very powerful post in state politics. They not only presided over the state senate, they actually controlled this important decision making institution. The lieutenant governor appointed all the committees, assigned all the bills and controlled the flow of legislation. That power was withdrawn in the 1990’s and taken back by the senate. The president pro tem of the majority party now holds that power. That is Senator Del Marsh. The lieutenant governor still has the gavel as well as a significant staff to use to run for reelection. Kay Ivey has taken to this role effectively. She is in a good position to garner a second term. The best launching pad to land in the governor’s office or the U.S. Senate is from the office of attorney general. Luther Strange is in good shape to win a second fouryear term as attorney general. Luther spent the first two
decades of his career as a Washington corporate lobbyist. Therefore, those who know him best believe that his ultimate ambition is to take a seat in the U.S. Senate. He developed a close friendship with both Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions during his Washington years. The problem Luther has is that neither Shelby nor Sessions have any plans to retire anytime soon. Sessions is a prohibitive favorite to win reelection this year and Shelby has made it clear that he has no intentions of retiring. He has already said he plans to seek reelection in 2016. He adheres to the old saying that was delivered by veteran stalwart southern senators of bygone years, “I’m only leaving Washington by one of two routes – by the ballot box or in a pine box.” The latter is the likeliest route for Shelby. Big Luther is not a spring chicken. He is fast approaching 60 and that is not the optimum age to embark on a senatorial career. Given the importance of seniority in Washington, he would never really be able to be a player. The 2018 Governor’s Race is probably Luther’s logical route, assuming he wins reelection as attorney general this year. As the state’s top prosecutor he has stepped on some big toes. However, he should be a safe bet for reelection. Last week we looked at the governor’s race. This week we discussed the reelection chances of lieutenant governor and attorney general. My assessment thus far is that Gov. Robert Bentley, Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey and Attorney General Luther Strange are in good shape to win reelection next year. Next week we will look at the offices of treasurer, agriculture commissioner, secretary of state and state auditor. In addition, we have a couple of state judicial contests on the menu as well as the all important legislative races. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Jacksonville to consider establishing new municipal court program By LAura Gaddy Consolidated News Service First-time offenders could soon be more likely to get a second chance when they go to municipal court in Jacksonville. At the urging of Municipal Judge Joe Maloney, the City Council is considering a program that would give qualifying first-time offenders a second chance at a clean record. Through the program, defendants charged with some crimes would have the chance to enter a guilty plea, pay a fee and agree to certain terms in exchange for a clear record. If the program is successfully completed, a judge could dismiss the case, which would, in effect, restore a first-time offender’s record. If defendants fail to comply with the terms of the agreement, they could still face sentencing, said Barry Matson, the deputy director of the Alabama District Attorney’s Association. As a long-time district attorney, Matson served as a prosecutor in Talladega County and is familiar with such programs, which are known as pretrial diversion programs. When the option was extended to municipal court this spring, it was also extended to district attorneys throughout the state through the passage of a separate bill. ÊOfficials are developing a database with the state program to log each person who takes part in the programs. That database, which is expected to become operational next month, can be used by city prosecutors and district attorneys to be certain the same person isn’t processed through pretrial diversion programs multiple times, Matson said. If passed, the resolution would formalize steps the judge and city prosecutor Richard Rhea already take to clear some first-time offenders’ records, but it would give the municipal court judge more guidance, Maloney said. That’s because it would require officials to make a list of charges that qualify. “I want guidance,” Maloney told the council Monday. “I don’t really
want discretion. I like to treat everybody the same.” The city could, for example, decide that people charged with violent offenses don’t qualify for the program. By formalizing the program, the city would also be able to charge participants for admittance and to give every qualifying offender a shot at a clean record, Matson said. “The thing that must be in place is fairness,” Matson said. “It should be available to everyone on an equal footing.” Maloney said he made the request in response to a new state law passed in May that gives cities the authority to set up such programs. The fee defendants would pay to participate is a key element of the program, and Rhea said it’s unknown how much money the fee would generate. A court representative said court officials would like to give 50 percent of the money to police for vehicle maintenance and equipment. The officials would also like to split the remaining funds between the city’s general fund and court offices. Maloney said they don’t want to turn court into a money-making business, but they would like for it to be self-sustaining. “I think we ought to have a formal program and a formal procedure,” Rhea said. Maloney said he thinks the city should look to modify an existing resolution used by another Alabama city to fit Jacksonville. “We don’t have to reinvent the wheel,” Maloney said. Maloney provided a copy of a similar ordinance drafted by the city of Hoover and asked the council to review it. The council could vote on the item at a future meeting. Through similar programs the municipal judges can require the defendant to take part in remedial activities, such a drug rehab or to pursue a GED. The judge could also restrict the defendant from leaving the state or to pay child support, in addition to any number of other requirements, Matson said. Staff Writer Laura Gaddy: 256-2353544.

Kay Griffin continued her love of piano into adulthood
K
Sings in choir at First Baptist MARGARET ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT
ay Griffin acquired a love of piano at a young age and decided she wanted her own. The 6-yearold knew she’d have to prove to her parents how badly she wanted one, so she saved $100 and gave it to them for a down payment. That piano has a place of honor in her home today. She said it “plays just fine.” Kay took lessons from Martha Harris Leonard and Jan Calhoun Rhodes and, as she grew older, her love affair with the piano grew. She began to play in churches and sometimes at events. Music has always played an important role in her life. “In the past few years, I’ve learned to enjoy contemporary Christian music,” she said. “But my favorite will always be southern gospel.” Kay also likes classic country and Elvis Presley. Her 8x10 walk-in closet is painted pink and is adorned with photos of Elvis. “I know people think I’m crazy, but I’ve loved him since I was a child,” she said. “I can remember being small and going to the drive-in with mother and daddy to see his movies.” Kay retired from the federal government in 2010. She thought she’d enjoy being home and she actually did for awhile. It didn’t take her long to find out that because her children were older they didn’t need her as much and there was only so much cleaning she could do. She felt that she still had a lot to offer and set out to find another job. In January 2012, she was hired as secretary for coliseum sports by the Jacksonville State University Athletic Department. “It’s the most fun job I’ve ever had,” she said “The coaches are great. I get to see athletes all the time. They’re always in and out. I just love them. We have a very good group of kids here at JSU. They never come in without saying hello to me, and several will not leave without a hug.” Kay said basketball is her busiest season. “I wouldn’t call it stressful because I enjoy it so much, but we are busy then,” she said. “I get to see the teams play and can even travel with them some. I get so attached to the kids. It’s almost like they’re all mine.” Kay works with men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, volleyball, track and field and cross country.

“They’re spread out enough through the year that we have something going on all the time,” she said. Kay was born and reared in the Angel community, the daughter of Jim and Mary (Angel) Hyde. She and her husband, Kenny, have two children. Matt, 23, is majoring in secondary education at JSU, and Rebecka, 21, has just completed two years at JSU. She will move to Auburn Thursday to begin the pre-pharmacy program. Kenny, who is from Locust Fork, works out of his home for Pruett Forest Products of Tuscaloosa. He and Kay met when they worked at Fort McClellan. Kay worked in the administrative office and Kenny was one of the fort’s foresters. Kay’s sister and brother-in-law, Lea and Rick Davis, live in Jacksonville and have four children -- Drake Davis, Jordan Kittrell, Noah Davis and Tara Kittrell. Kay and her family are members of First Baptist Church. She sings in the choir and is a member of the Praise Team. Kenny is sound technician for the 11 a.m. Praise Team service, and Matt plays the lead guitar in the Praise Team band.

She enjoys playing the piano, walking and interior decorating. “I’m always rearranging in my own home,” she said. “I like to paint and decorate.” All of the Griffins like sports. Kay said she likes to cook “if everybody is out of my way and I have time. I’m not one of those old time cooks who can just throw things together. I have to have a recipe in front of me.” She said with her family’s unusual schedules, it’s difficult to find time to share meals, but they cherish the times when they can do so. Kay has several recipes that are meaningful to her. Peanut Butter Pie was always one of her mother’s most asked for recipes. Her aunt, Pauline Angel Johnson, was known for making delicious Squash Dressing Casserole. Another aunt, Betty Angel Noah, made equally delicious Santa Fe Soup. One of Kay’s own favorites is Breakfast Buttermilk Biscuit Casserole. (Contact Margaret at pollya922@gmail.com)

THE JACKSONVILLE NEWS
Traffic study to help choose school site BY LAURA GADDY Consolidated News Service The findings of a recent traffic study will help the Jacksonville Board of Education determine where to build a new elementary school, the superintendent said this week. The study, conducted by Skipper Consulting Inc., suggests building the new school on land across from Jacksonville High School rather than rebuilding it where Kitty Stone Elementary School now stands. The engineering firm made the decision because the site near the high school would offer better traffic flow when parents pick up and drop off their children. “That gives us some valuable information,” Superintendent Jon Paul Campbell said. “That data will be important for the board.” The school board decided in the spring to pursue funding for a new elementary school because of the deteriorating condition of
a portion of Kitty Stone Elementary. According to the study, it would take 20 minutes to clear the new site of traffic. That’s compared to the 40 minutes to clear traffic at Kitty Stone. The study states that pickup and dropoff periods cause traffic congestion and require daily road closures near the existing site, while “all pickups and drop-offs could be contained on the prospective campus.” While the new site was evaluated positively for being quicker to clear, the existing site outscored the prospective site in two areas: most students live closer to it, and it has more sidewalks, making it friendly to pedestrians. The study revealed that 95 percent of Kitty Stone students live within a 10-minute drive of the campus, while 70 percent of students live within 10 minutes of the prospective site. The study also notes that, aside from the Chief Ladiga Trail, both sites lack bicycle facilities. Some in the community, including board President Mike
Poe, have said that they want students to have safe walkable and bikeable routes to school. The city has also placed an emphasis on making the community more accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, adding bike racks to the Public Square, placing “share the road” signs along streets and developing a bicycle advisory committee. Safe walkable and bikeable routes are also of some importance to Campbell, who said the city is planning to build sidewalks near the prospective site. “I think there is a clear need for sidewalks in that area,” Campbell said. The engineering firm also conducted traffic counts on the streets that border the prospective sites. It found that traffic flows on streets near both sites are nearly identical. Some residents have concerns about the potential changes. Not far from the proposed new school site is the planned new home for the municipal court, Police Department, jail and Fire
Department. It may also include a new City Hall. Some residents, including Susan Di Biase, who heads a quality of life committee in the city, have said the heart of Jacksonville will become less vital if the school moves. “Private investment tends to follow public investment,” Di Biase said. She also said she worries that the traffic volume will create safety problems along George Douthit Drive if the municipal development and new school are built along the road, where the high school and a Walmart already are located. Officials acknowledge that George Douthit Drive is already one of the busiest roads in town, but they don’t foresee significant traffic problems because of the development. Mayor Johnny Smith said police and fire trucks leaving the city complex will primarily use Branscomb Drive, a block south of George Douthit Drive. Smith added that he doesn’t think the municipal
development will significantly increase the traffic volume near it, because he said relatively few people will use it daily. Campbell said the two schools would dismiss at different times and the study states elementary school traffic would use James Hopkins Road, preventing traffic congestion on George Douthit Drive. Campbell also said the school system plans to consider several other factors before the board decides where to build the school. One of those factors, public opinion, will likely be of interest to Di Biase and others who share her concerns. “The impression that people have gotten is that it’s a done deal,” Di Biase said. “I think they just haven’t had the chance to express their views.” Campbell said the board plans to hold public forums later this summer or early next fall to discuss the development.

BROWN: Goal is for more people to take interest in preservation From page 1
One such structure, the Dr. Francis Museum, has received a makeover, thanks in part to the association and a completely volunteer workforce. “Several of us have been putting in one or two days a week working on it,” he said. “It’s been a long and tedious process, but we’ve heard nothing but positive remarks. We’re hoping the city will encourage museum tours, and hopefully some groups can hold meetings there as well.” Brown said the work has been done, thanks to financial help from the city and donations from volunteers as well as others.
Brown himself is in the process of renovating one of Jacksonville’s earliest homes, the Gen. John Forney house, built in the 1840s. It also was in the path of a bulldozer, and Brown didn’t want to see such an important home lost. Two years ago, he had it moved from its original location on the north side of West Mountain Street, just a few feet down the street to the south side, where he owns two plots of land and another historical home. The Forney house, he said, is actually in better shape than the other house. “The Victorian house is having to be completely rebuilt, from the ground up,” he said.
Brown admits getting the historical structures renovated is time c o n s u m i n g , b u t h e ’s dedicated to finishing the projects. The Forney house is about 2800 square feet, said Brown and right now, he’s not sure what he will do with it once it’s renovated. For the time being, he’s happy he saved it from an uncertain fate. “I feel that it’s a great thing that people are taking notice of preservation in Jacksonville,” he said. “It’s becoming more of a talking topic and more noticed. Many people talked about it in the past, but so little was done. I think many people are more active now and
more aware of preservation. My goal is for it to become more widespread. Other cities are promoting their historic assets and are being successful; hopefully we’ll be equally successful. Long term, It’ll be certainly good for the town.” Brown said one of his goals in life is to get citizens interested in good stewardship of historic places and buildings in Jacksonville. Brown graduated from Saks High School in 1997 and received a BFA degree in fine arts from Jacksonville State University in 2001. He is the son of Rhonda Brown of Anniston and the late Doug Brown. He has worked out of his photography studio, Jerrod Brown Studios in Birmingham, for the past 13 years. Earning a merit badge in Boy Scouts is what led him to have an interest in photography. He began to earnestly pursue it while at JSU. He photographs mostly weddings and services a handful of commercial clients. “Weddings are definitely challenging,” he said. “It’s always interesting.
Summer is always the busiest season.” Anyone interested in Brown’s services can contact him at 256-525-6503 or visit his website at www. jerrodbrown.com. When Brown is not working on old houses and creating images, he is traveling. He’s been all over Asia, South America and Europe. “Japan is beautiful,” he said. “Vietnam and Cambodia are wild and amazing; Bangkok (Thailand) is hot and chaotic. Brazil and Argentina are two of my favorites in South America.

WADE: Prevention, nutrition and fitness are keys to living a longer life From page 1
He was treated medically and aggravated the injury in 1978 while working on the SS Manhattan in Valdez, Alaska. He came home and his father carried him to see a local chiropractor and JSU supporter, Dr. James Lett, in Anniston. “That was my first experience with chiropractic,” said Wade. “After my success with chiropractic, I changed career paths and ended up buying Dr. Lett’s practice from him. I became an engineer, then a chiropractor and am now going to medical school. I asked God why now, why not back then. He told me that if I’d gone to medical school then, I’d have missed out on the fact that He is the source of healing.” Wade said he made a promise to God that he’d go out into the world and, with His help, spend his life healing. Now is the time, Wade believes, to move on to the next chapter in his life. “I’m still going to be involved in health care,” he said, “but it’s going to be a career path shift. I believe that an integrated multi- discipline approach of dealing with health is a
better overall picture. So if I can integrate things I’ve learned about the power the body has and apply that to some medical care, not to put people on medicines necessarily, but to be able to help get them off medicines, I can help them stay healthy without having to do drugs or surgery.” Wade has been offered a position teaching anatomy in the undergrad program at Washington University. He will begin in January. “Honestly, it’s a little bit scary thinking about disconnecting and going,” he said. It will take about five years to get the degree. Wade will take basic science classes in Belize and will do clinical rotations in the United States. “I’ve been teaching a program based on living healthy until the age of 100,” he said. “There’s an estimated number of years left in your future. They call that your innate potential. It’s a calculated number where you take the oldest person in your family tree, then you subtract your current age.” Wade’s great-grandfather lived to be 93; Wade is 56. “So that means I’ve got 37 more years for me,” he said. “This is sometimes called your m-pyr (pronounced Empire). I’ve
just started my 30th year of chiropractic practice, and I am committed to keeping my offices open, but I’m excited about expanding our services to the community for the future.” Wade said that he’s been teaching people how to stay healthy during his career and one of the things he stresses is fitness. “The idea is you can be healthy progressively if you take responsibility over your health and are proactive,” he said. “Instead of letting nature take its course, do something preventive. If you keep your body moving and flexible, then you’re going to have an excellent chance of living longer and meeting or exceeding, your potential years.” Instead of accepting the idea that age causes stiffness, he suggests practicing strength and endurance exercises and maintaining your structure balance with Lifestyle Chiropractic Care. Wade said swimming, walking, biking, yoga, massage and some type of resistance are good exercises. “If you want to live a long, healthy life, you’ve got to be proactive and do something, and that’s what we teach in our outreach workshops,” he said. “We’ve partnered with the Buy Local, Buy Healthy
Campaign and the Gathering Place of the Jacksonville Farmers Market and we talk about good nutrition. Eating healthy provides good dividends.” Wade said that grocery shopping habits can be changed. Rather than shopping in the aisles, “where the bad stuff -chemicals and preservatives -- are, learn to stay on the edge, where the fruits and vegetables are. We get into trouble when we go into the aisles.” Prevention, nutrition and fitness, he believes are the key factors in living a longer, healthier life. His goal is to teach and emphasize that for at least the next 37 years of his life. Wade opened his office on Snow Street in Oxford in March 1984, almost 30 years ago. This time last year, he opened an office on South Pelham, in the same location as Calhoun County Insurance Center. Dr. Carol Evancho is on staff there, and Wade said he’ll bring another doctor in soon. He
also offers massage therapy as well. “The community of Jacksonville has been awesome in accepting us,” he said. “We’ve expanded three time since we’ve been here and more than doubled our office space. We had a lot of patients living in this area that we’ve taken care of over the years, and I wanted to try to make it easier for them to access our services. We have a great team, and
I will continue to be back between terms from school for patients” Wade received his chiropractic degree in 1984 from Life University in Marietta, Ga. He and his wife, Lisa, have nine children and seven grandchildren. They are members of Word Alive Church and enjoy kayaking. Lisa is the business manager for both his practices.

company for residents. “There is a little confusion but we’re just trying to work through it,” Wilson said. For the past several years Jacksonville residents have received handheld recycling bins that were collected weekly at the curbside, but earlier this month waste management company Republic Services began work on a plan to change that. This summer Jacksonville residents received
larger 95-gallon recycling cans, which look like trash cans with green lids. They were disbursed to residents throughout the city and now the recyclable goods will be collected every-other week on Wednesdays. The company divided the city into two routes. Those who live south of Francis Street should roll their recycling cart to the curb to be collected this Wednesday by 7 a.m. and every other Wednesday that follows. Those dates are Aug. 14 and Aug. 28.
While those who live north of Francis Street should wait until Wednesday, August 7, to roll their new recycling bins to the curb. They too should continue rolling their recycling cans to the curb every other Wednesday after their first collection date. Those dates are Aug. 21 and Sept. 4. The company also continues to collect plastics, paper, small cardboard boxes and all the other items it previously collected, city officials who spoke with the company said Monday.

Proper insulation can save you up to 30% on your cooling costs. Add more insulation in your attic, basement or crawlspace if you find hot spots around your home.
Weatherstripping and caulk also help control energy costs and insulate by keeping hot air from seeping into and conditioned air out of your home.
Look for light and feel for warm air around doors, windows, electrical outlets and other similar places. Seal and insulate where necessary.
Window treatments can serve as insulation too. Close drapes and blinds during the heat of the day to cut down on solar heat gain.

Charles Barry with the ram he brought down in Nevada.
Barry bags another ram Charles Barry is one persistent hunter. Most men who are 85 years old would settle for hunting smaller game. Not Barry. He goes for the tougher game and his persistence has paid off in a big way. Barry, a native of Calhoun County, finally got to hunt desert sheep in Nevada after applying for many years. However, there were a few problems. First, Barry broke two ribs as he trained for the hunt. Then he was climbing an oak tree to remove mistletoe when his foot slipped and his foot got caught in a fork of a branch. He had to swing back and forth until he got free but in doing so he ruptured his tendon from his
knee to his ankle. “I had to have therapy, so I wasn’t sure how the foot would be for this hunt,” Barry said. Barry set the nine-day hunt for December with Hide N Seek Outfitters. On the fhe first day out the hunting party, led by Lupe Gallegos, saw 52 rams and one hill had 34. However, they couldn’t get close to the rams. On the fourth day, the group was in a different area. In addition to Barry and Gallegos, they were joined by Gary Gallegos, Dave Raynor and Darrell Garvin. There was a dry wash that angled below five rams. “We worked our way to within
255 yards,” Barry said. “Gary set up my shooting stick and I got in a kneeling position. I still wasn’t steady, so Gary put a stick under my right arm. I fired. The sheep took four steps and it was over.” The sheep scored 165 1/8 SCI. “It was a great hunt with a great crew,” Barry said. “They all helped the old man get up and down the mountain.” It was the ninth sheep Barry has bagged. “The guide had an EMT on every hunt not taking any changes on the old guy,” he said. Barry’s two brothers – James and Hubert – live in Jacksonville and his sister Mary Mann resides in Anniston.
