Now... I am Strong

By Regina Randolph

All I wanted was for it to be over so I could feel normal again and go on with my life.

A very aggressive, fast-growing, with a tendency to recur, cancer.

Triple-Negative. Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The name of the chemo cocktail of Adriamycin is called the Red Devil”. And it was the devil…

I told myself it was only hair and not to be upset when it fell out. It would grow back. Not to be vain. Well, I completely fell apart watching all that hair hit the floor.

I hated seeing the worry on my kid’s faces. I missed playing with my grandchildren and that wig itched like crazy! Every day at work was a surprise.

People were very good to me. So many prayers, cards, gifts, food. Survivors, people I didn’t know, came by to tell me their stories and encourage me. It was amazing, the love I felt.

Friends from work, mowing my grass, washing my dog, bringing me food.

Driving me home when I got sick at work. I will never forget all they did. The nurses and technicians at the Cancer Center were all so gentle and kind. I don’t know how they manage to work around all the

I was not brave.

I did not fight like a girl.

I was mad!

I was weak...

I stayed rolled up in a fetal position most of the time, begging God to make it stop.

We are Survivors

DeKALB COUNTY, Ala. — Two local women have fought and conquered the same type of breast cancer diagnosis within one year of each other.

Misty Bruce and Jenni Bobo were both diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma on February 20, 2014, and July 13,

2015, respectively.

According to the Mayo Clinic, invasive lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that starts in the milk-producing glands of the breast. Early symptoms include an area of thickening in the part of the breast, a new area of fullness or swelling, or a change in the texture or appearance of the skin over the breast.

Bruce received eight chemotherapy treatments and

36 radiation treatments during her fight, while Bobo had four chemotherapy treatments and 20 radiation treatments.

Misty Bruce has now been cancer-free for seven years as of February 2021.

“The biggest fear I faced was if I was going to be alive to watch my children grow up,” said Bruce. “I remember saying ‘please take care of my kids’ to my husband and family.”

“I would not have made it

through my journey without my faith in God,” she continued. “I committed to giving it to God and that every step of my journey would glorify Him. God gave me a peace that no one else could.”

Jenni Bobo has been cancerfree for six years as of July 2021.

“My first thought was: how will this affect my family? And how hard is it going to be to get through this?” said Bobo. “I was never sick, never tired, and never missed a ball game. You have to

southerners who had connections to our southern senators. If you got in an elevator in the nation’s capital, you often-times would hear southern accents.

That is not true now, today you would hear a foreign accent or foreign language.

Our southern senior senators knew how to bring home the bacon like nobody’s business.

The roll call included Stennis and Eastland from Mississippi, the southern lion Richard Russell from Georgia, Strom Thurmond from South Carolina, Russell Long from Louisiana, and last but not least our, our dynamic duo of distinguished, erudite powers, Lister Hill and John Sparkman. For this reason, a good many of our nation’s military bases are in the south.

Ft. Benning in Georgia is there because of Richard Russell, and probably its location on Alabama’s eastern border of Columbus/ Phenix City is no accident. Russell was

granting deference to Hill and Sparkman, who really did not need any help.

Eastland and Stennis did pretty well for Mississippi’s Gulf Coast when it comes to military and ship building facilities. Eglin and Tyndall Air Force Bases in the Florida panhandle are there thanks to one Bob Sikes “The He-Coon.”

However, no state has benefitted more from military defense related locations than us in the good ole Heart of Dixie, thanks in large part to Lister Hill and John Sparkman. If you took the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, the Maxwell/Gunter Air Bases in Montgomery and Ft. Rucker in the Wiregrass out of Alabama, we would be more than wiped out.

Our senior senator, Richard Shelby, has been the salvation for sustaining and saving our sacred military facilities. Shelby has not only been Chairman of the U.S. Senate Appropriations

During the Great Depression and coming out of World War II, the deep south had immense power in Washington. We were fortunate to have a cadre of southern senators, who were seniority laden and knew how to bring home the bacon. This group of deep south southern democrats controlled most of the prominent and consequential major committees in the United States Senate.

In that era, all the jobs in the United States Capitol, as well as our state capitol, were patronage jobs or really could be called political jobs. Every clerk, stenographer, research analyst, secretary and even elevator attendants were granted their jobs based on who you knew, not what you knew. Most people in Washington were working there because they were

Committee, but he also retained the Chairmanship of the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee. He has made the difference for Redstone, Maxwell and Rucker for the last decade. Folks, Shelby is retiring at the end of next year and Alabama is going to be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

I am here to tell you that national defense spending is very important to Alabama, but more importantly, it is vitally important to our nation’s security and future. Senator Shelby is sounding the alarm as the senate is crafting the next fiscal year’s budget. He is saying you cannot adhere to the Biden Democratic calls to cut defense spending.

The national defense strategy provides a roadmap for our Department of Defense. The Democrats efforts to undermine the

importance of strategic, long-term defense readiness plays into the hands our competitors China and Russia.

The Democratic Biden Administration budget proposal would allow Russia and China to overmatch our investments in readiness, state of the art equipment, and technology.

China seeks hegemony militarily, technologically, financially and is making unprecedented investments to see that come to fruition.

Russia is also quietly building a massive military modernization program that saw its defense spending increase 30% over the last 10 years.

We must outpace Russia and China in defense spending.

Our state, and more importantly our nation, must adhere to Senator Shelby’s admonition that we as a nation cannot

afford to cut military spending as President Biden and liberal Democratic Senators in Washington are advocating.

The two things that our country still does best and indeed the two most important things we need to do best are having the most superior military in the world and the ability to grow our own food and fiber. Military and Agriculture are America’s salvation and, by the way, defense dollars and agriculture are Alabama’s salvation.

We as Alabamians can and should look closely as to who can and will work the hardest to protect defense and agriculture when we vote for the person to succeed Senator Richard Shelby in Washington in the U.S. Senate. That person would not be Mo Brooks.

See you next week.

Reservations Required

By Marla Jones Managing Editor

RAINSVILLE, Ala.-- (Full video on Southern Torch Facebook) The Rainsville City Council held their regularly scheduled meeting on October 18.

Councilman Brandon Freeman brought up the fact that Pavilions in the City Park had been on a first come, first serve basis for several years. Due to a recent disagreement at the park over this practice, Freeman suggested that pavilions should be reserved. Freeman stated that he did not feel that making the citizens pay to use the facilities would be right but those reservations could be made at the City Hall to avoid any

additional conflict.

Rickey Byrum stated that in previous administrations, the pavilions were rented out for a cost of $10 for smaller pavilions and $25 for the larger pavilion.

After much discussion, Freeman made a motion to reserve pavilions at no cost to citizens which was seconded

by Arlan “Monk” Blevins.

Councilmember Derek Roson and Monk Blevins voted to require a deposit that was refundable.

Mayor Rodger Lingerfelt called for a vote, with some council members not voting.

Southern Torch reached out to Councilman Brandon Freeman and Mayor Lingerfelt for clarification.

Freeman stated that the vote was unclear and would be

discussed for reconsideration at the next meeting of the Rainsville City Council. At this time, Freeman stated that the pavilions would need to be reserved

at no cost, at the Rainsville City Hall.

At press time, the Mayor had not returned our call.

Police Chief Michael Edmondon informed the Council

that the department had been approved for a 50/50 Grant for the purchase of nine new vests and carriers, saving the City $2,800.

In other business, the Council approved the following: • Hire Dylan Haney Full-Time Patrolman starting October 27 at $14.97 per hour • Hire Caleb McSpadden Full-Time Patrolman starting October 27 at $14.97 per hour • Move Joey Walden from Part-Time to Full-Time Fireman beginning October 20 at $13.06 per hour • Move Greg Welch for sanitation truck driver to Mechanic beginning October 13 at $16.16 per hour • Purchase of Camera for the Police Department

$514.99 • Trajectory Laser Kit for crime scene investigations for the Police Department $600.00 • Six sets of Turnout gear for the Fire Department in the amount of $17,000 • Sponsorship of $1000.00 to the Stock Dog Association • Sponsorship of $2000.00 to the Bull Bash The Council made the following Board Appointments: • Add Stuart Mitchell—Public Building Authority (Position previously held by Councilmember Arlan Blevins) • Add Brooke Debtor—Agri-Center Board (Position previously held by Councilmember Arlan Blevins The next Rainsville Council Meeting will be held on November 1, 2021

A public hearing shall be held during the regular meeting of the County Commission on November 9, 2021 at approximately 10:00 am in the Commission Chambers located at the DeKalb County Activities Building at 111 Grand Avenue, SW, Fort Payne, Alabama.

The proposed map can be reviewed at the County Commission Office and would move approximately

The proposed district would begin on CR 56, then turn south on CR 43 to CR 72, then east on CR 72 to the intersection of Lands Street and the Fyffe Town Limits, thus continuing as currently exists.

Each milestone gave me renewed hope that cancer would not return.

Through it all was an awareness of a closer walk with God. I felt His sweet, precious presence and calmness everywhere.

He revealed to me that He had been there those dark days when I was terrified of that stupid cancer. Of all the things I ever thought I wanted, God gave me reassurance that all I ever really

day because those are gifts from God.” Both of these survivors stated they felt so thankful to win their battles with this disease. This diagnosis changed both of their lives for the better, because “they wouldn’t take anything for the journey...you realize what is important in life.”

On a personal note, please have your yearly mammogram and self-check because early detection could be the key to saying, “I’m a survivor.”
