John Willoughby: Greene Publishing, Inc. As a new school year begins, two Madison

women are already making a difference in the lives of many by providing free hygiene products to local Madison County students.

As named by ministry-founder Denise Carver Dyal, Care Closets are now available to Madison County High School (MCHS) and Madison County Central School (MCCS) students who are in need. "The kids in school today have so much to deal with and their hygiene should not be an item of ridicule or bullying," said Dyal, who recently took

part in the summer feeding program for local youth.

The closets are available upon request to Coleen Agner (MCHS) and Jennifer Williams (MCCS), and the following items are available for pick-up: shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, feminine products, toothbrushes and toothpaste and other basic hygiene products. Students who pick-up supplies will remain completely anonymous.

This initiative was made possible with the help of Sonical Murphy-Mitchell, who Dyal calls a "super good couponer." Murphy-Mitchell has prior experience helping students who are making their way to their first year of college, so being a part of the local Care Closets is nothing new to her.

Dyal states that monetary donations are accepted to help continue this ministry. It is a goal to expand Care Closet to local elementary schools as well. "Join the blessing of helping our kids get the best education possible without having to worry about their hygiene," Dyal states.

If you are an individual or a church, business or organization, and would like to donate or host a drive, call Dyal at (850) 869-3052.

John Willoughby: Greene Publishing, Inc. With the approval of a new grant from the

Florida Department of Transportation to repave select roads within the Town of Greenville, Greenville Councilman Calvin Malone raised concerns over the lack of weight restrictions in the western Madison County town.

During Town of Greenville's regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, Aug. 12, Councilman Malone stated his concerns regarding loaded semi-trucks driving through Greenville streets, pulling in and leaving from drivers' homes. "Our streets are not designed for these loaded trucks," Malone stated, who mentioned that he didn't want the incoming, newly-repaved roads tore up "in a year."

Councilman Malone informed the council of his intentions to propose an ordinance to restrict or limit certain weight on roads in Greenville. Town Manager Edward Dean suggested waiting to bring a proposed ordinance to a vote due to the fact that the council has

Rick Patrick: Greene Publishing, Inc. During the regularly scheduled meeting

of the Madison County District School Board on Monday, Aug. 19, the board agreed to allow the Madison County Athletic Boosters to collect $5 per car for parking at Boot Hill Stadium during home football games this season.

Prior to the 2018 season, Justin Burt, President of the Madison County Athletic Boosters, approached the board with the idea of charging a fee for parking at the stadium during home football games. This money was to be earmarked for improvements to the athletic field house and weight room used by the student athletes from Madison County High School (MCHS) and Madison County Central School (MCCS). Following lengthy discussion, the board approved the request on a season-by-season basis.

When Burt spoke to the board during the Aug. 19 meeting, he

died in a fatal, single-vehicle crash on Interstate 10, and while Florida Highway Patrol investigators have possible identifications on both the deceased and injured individual, nothing is official yet.

First responders were dispatched to the scene of the wreck, just east of the U.S. Hwy. 221/Interstate 10 interchange in Greenville at approximately 7:39 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 19. A female occupant was driving a 2008 Chevrolet pick-up with a male passenger when the vehicle, traveling eastbound, collided with a tree.

The female occupant was pulled out of the vehicle and transported to

roads?

I had a college professor tell me once that a study had been done that found the sport of football somehow makes a connection to a guy's brain. I don't remember the details of all this, but it went on to attempt to explain why so many guys like to watch

football. Turns out that, for a lot of us at least, we can't help it.

With that in mind, you can probably guess that I have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time. This weekend marks the beginning of the college and high school football seasons. The first time I see the opening segment to ESPN's

college football show on Saturday mornings is honestly an emotional experience for me. I guess it is somewhat similar to the experience I had at this time of year when I was a much younger person and it would be the first Saturday of the new season of Saturday morning cartoons.

Usually, the new cartoon season would be around the middle of September and, on rare occasions, the new cartoon season would begin on my birthday (Sept. 13, just in case you want to avoid the holiday shopping rush). Think about how fun that day was. One cartoon I saw when I was a youngster was about college football. Perhaps you can imagine the level of unbridled ecstasy I felt whenever that little gem would come on TV. Or perhaps, you can't. It would be very difficult to explain, if you don't understand already. I have friends to whom football has never

been much of a source of entertainment. I have to admit, I don't fully understand those friends, either.

If I were a space alien from way out there in the far-off galaxy and I happened to land on Earth (probably near a trailer park somewhere, because that's where those space alien types tend to land) and I happened to see a football game going on, I might think it to be strange. One group of guys running up and down a pasture, carrying an oddly-shaped leather bag, while another group of guys violently attempt to stop them.

I do imagine that to a space alien, football may seem a bit odd. I would also imagine that if I were to land in an alien's trailer park way out there in the far-off galaxy, I might think their Saturday games were a bit odd. Their Saturday morning cartoons might be kinda cool though.

September is almost here and

that means we will be kicking-off a

new 4-H year in Madison County.

Nelson A. Pryor: Guest Columnist When looking back is easier than looking forward,

we find refuge in people who made us feel whole. Reader's Digest chief, ‘icon' of the right, William M. Schulz, 80, is dead.

By some accounts, two people die every second, thousands every hour, tens of millions every year. Every life matters! As did Mr. Schulz.

Mr. Schulz, was a writer of narrative brilliance and moral clarity. And he used to drive the political left bonkers.

In high school, this columnist was always admonished by the English teachers to give up reading works, such as the Reader's Digest, and read instead the works of the likes of: George B. Shaw (an Englishman who had publicly renounced our U. S. Constitution-"Junk It!"); or maybe, Ernest Hemingway, who was troubled.

Ed Feulner, a co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, described Mr. Schulz as a "reliable icon" for such basic principles of conservatism as a freemarket economy, competition and "keeping government out of areas where it did not belong."

From 1967 until he retired in 2003, Mr. Schulz was a Reader's Digest editor, a period in which the magazine's monthly circulation reached 50 million. In the Cold War years especially, "Bill helped keep the Digest vibrantly anti-communist," author and journalist Dave Shiflett wrote in the Wall Street Journal, on July 23, 2019, a day after the death.

Making a Difference? Sometimes, one cannot make a difference. For

instance, in 2005, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees public radio and television, was looking for "ombudsmen" to provide cover for its many left wing programs. NBC newsman Ken Bode and Mr. Schulz were appointed to defuse the drumbeat of complaints against the programming.

After participating for about a year, Mr. Schulz resigned, realizing that PBS programming wasn't being changed, and he was wasting his time.

His Life William Martin Schulz was born Jan. 12, 1939 in

New York City, where his father worked in a family typewriter business. He attended the academically selectice Bronx High School of Science.

His conservative political views formed as he attended lectures on political economy at NYU given by the prominent Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises.

Mr. Schulz moved to Washington to work for conservative columnist and radio commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr., an outspoken anti-communist and supporter of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.)

William F. Buckley Jr., and M. Stanton Evans, two early conservative leaders of the 1950s, were among Mr. Schulz's mentors. He was active in Young Americans for Freedom, a conservative youth group, and began a long affiliation with Human Events, a leading weekly newspaper of that day.

In 1960, Mr. Schulz attended a gathering of young conservatives, (to become know as YAF), at Buckley's home in Connecticut that produced the Sharon Statement, a document of principles for the American conservative movement. It espoused "limited government… individual freedom…the free market system" and declared that "Communism must be defeated, not contained."

Throughout his working life, Mr. Schulz operated mainly out of the public spotlight with little or no publicity.

VIEWPOINTS & OPINIONS2 ~ Friday, August 23, 2019 The Madison Enterprise-Recorder

I'm a geek for live music. Don't believe me? I just went to see a Skillet concert two Saturdays ago, marking the 16th time I've seen the band since 2011. Do you believe me now? I could name the number of bands I've seen live, but it would literally take me all day to tell

you. Some include Aerosmith, Brad Paisley, Big Daddy Weave, tobyMac, Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen, Newsboys, Kari Jobe, Building 429, Casting Crowns, Rascal Flatts, just to name a few.

What makes a live show so special? I'm a sucker for music in general; especially good music that speaks to me. But being able to witness music being made is awesome. The sounds of the strings, drums and bass are sounds that can be imitated by radio speakers, but not perfected like that of a live show.

Even some of the best memories are made at concerts because you have a connection with the artist and sometimes you're able to hear their heart behind a certain song. It's beautiful, for lack of a better term. Not only that, certain lighting or video elements exemplify the experience which is nearly unforgettable.

We all can say that we enjoy live music, and we can all agree that what makes the excitement of the show is the multiple elements that come with it. But we rarely see, or think, about the work that occurs before a live show takes off.

I could talk for days on end about the logistics and work that goes into putting on a live show. It's pretty fun to say the least and I even had the pleasure of being a stagehand and technician for a live show/album recording in 2015. The show was held at the Polk Theatre in Lakeland, Fla.

My day began around noon on the day before the show. We unloaded over 40 "road cases" that held professional Chauvet-branded lighting equipment, guitars, drums and even generators. The stage had been crowded with cases and people frantically preparing for the event which began at 7 p.m. the next night.

Long before people lined up for the show, it was my duty to hook up generator lines and make sure trusses were secured so as not to fall on the musicians or the crowd. The amplifiers that sat on the ground were larger than I was. Imagine trying to fit one of those things through a three-foot-wide door! The lights were bright and soundcheck rocked nonetheless.

The lights went out later in the evening after I grabbed a bite to

eat from the catering room and I enjoyed the show with the others until the end. The job was completed in just two-and-a-half hours after the show ended. All 40 cases were loaded into the semi-truck and I went home with sore arms and a smile on my face.

Next time you go to a live show, enjoy it thoroughly. If you see a guy or gal dressed in all black with a headset and a radio on, thank them for bringing the show to you. Without the forgotten heroes I called "roadies," that amazing country or rock show wouldn't be so amazing.

Alcohol has not been ruled out and is pending investigation. Charges are also pending investigation.

FHP's Lieutenant Mark Boatwright informed Greene Publishing, Inc. that officials are unsure of the identities of both individuals. "We have several possible names, but nothing in concrete," Lt.

Boatwright stated, adding that the identification process is proving to be difficult.

Trooper R. White served as the crash investigator and Corporal Azrak was the homicide investigator. FHP was assisted at the scene by Madison County Fire Rescue (MCFR) and MCFR Chief Chris Williams.

Florida's fiscal forecasters have

revised short-term criminal justice projections to factor in declines in prison and jail populations that dropped below expectations during the first six months of 2019.

According to a Criminal Justice Estimating Conference (CJEC) analysis, Florida's prison population was 95,626 on June 30, falling 649, or 0.7 percent, below the conference's February estimate of more than 96,000 inmates.

A truth-in-forecasting review of new data by the CJEC, comprised of state Economic Development Division Director Amy Baker, House Justice Appropriations Committee budget chief Kristin Gusky, Senate Criminal/Civil Justice Subcommittee Staff Director P.K. Jameson and Katie Cunningham of the Governor's Office, was scheduled to adjust prison admissions and population projections it posted in February.

The conference cited good news in declining crime rates and in decreases in the growth of state inmate populations over the first six months of 2019, but noted increasing arrests, convictions, incarceration rates and lengths of sentences documented in 2018 threaten to derail the Legislature's tentative criminal justice reform effort to trim the state's $2.7 billion corrections budget.

The report documents that 12,246

inmates entered the state prison system between February and June, 263 fewer, or 2.1 percent below, numbers the CJEC projected in early 2019.

The number of offenders on active parole or probation supervision also fell, by 1.1 percent to 101,915 on June 30, 2019, according to the CJEC report.

Citing the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the FBI's annual Uniform Crime Report (UCR), the report reaffirmed what law enforcement agencies have documented: There were fewer crimes reported in Florida in 2018 than any year since 1973.

In 2018, Florida's crime rate declined for the 10th straight year, by 7.4 percent. The number of reported violent offenses decreased by 4.2 percent, while the number of nonviolent offenses decreased by 7.9 percent.

Yet, according to the CJEC's analysis, while reported crimes were down, the number of arrests statewide in 2018 were up by 0.7 percent, from 711,831 in 2017 to 716,653 in 2018, and more people were sent to prison last year than the year before.

According to the CJEC, "there were 29,187 admissions to prison in FY 18-19, up 2.3 percent from FY 17-18. This reverses the decline observed the previous five fiscal years."

Also, after five years of declines, the report notes, the number of felony filings continued to increase in 2018,

by 2.5 percent, after spiking by 3.8 percent in 2017.

The analysis also cites a growing trend in "year-and-a-day" sentences and warns that the spike in "new commitments" – individual offenders with newly imposed county jail/state prison sentences – is problematic for efforts to reduce incarceration costs.

"New commitments" to the prison and jail systems statewide, who account for 96 percent of all admissions, increased by three percent last year, according to the CJEC.

"In looking at new commitments by calendar year, new commitments in 2018 increased by 0.8 percent from the previous calendar year," the report states. "This is the first year increase following a decrease of four calendar years."

"Drugs and/or weapons offenses have shown consistent growth that has contributed to the eventual rise in new commitments," it states, noting property theft/fraud/damage are the third most common category of crimes that new commitments are sentenced for.

"Drugs" and "weapons" offenses average a little over three years in sentence length, while "property theft/fraud/damage" offenses average a little over two years in sentence length.

After decreasing to an average state prison sentence of 59.5 months in 2018, in June 2019, the

average sentence length of new commitments was 60.2 months (five years, two months), according to the CJEC.

The number of 10-20 year to life inmates continues to increase. On June 30, there were 12,065 offenders who had received sentences under this statute, representing nearly 13 percent of Florida's prison population, the report documents.

The number of year-and-a-day sentenced new commitments grew by 15.4 percent in FY 2018, reversing a 2017 decline in these sentences.

The largest increase was in Hillsborough County, where these sentences increased by 42.6 percent. Miami-Dade (33.6 percent) and Volusia (17.8 percent) also experienced large increases.

The CJEC report also documents the state's inmate population has aged significantly over the last 20 years

"While the percentage of 18 to 24 year olds has declined, the percentage of those older than 50 has grown steadily," the CJRC states, noting "inmates aged 50 to 59, and inmates aged 60+, now make up a greater share of the prison population than 18 to 24 year olds" do.

Florida crime rate down again, yet arrests, incarceration up again

Story courtesy of FDLE Agents with the Florida Department of Law

Enforcement (FDLE) arrested Coty Allen Hartsfield, 29, of Perry, for online solicitation of a minor for sex acts and transmission of material harmful to minors by electronic device. The Taylor County Sheriff's Office assisted with this case.

The investigation began after FDLE received a tip from the National

Center for Missing and Exploited Children that a person was transmitting child pornography through a

social media account. The investigation shows Hartsfield was communicating through social media with a teenage female with whom he was acquainted. Through social media chats, Hartsfield repeatedly asked the teen to strip for him and urged her to send lewd photographs and videos.

Hartsfield was arrested on Tuesday, Aug. 20, and booked into the Taylor County Jail. The Office of the State Attorney, 3rd Judicial Circuit will prosecute this case.

accumulated "a pretty robust legal bill this year," as Dean states. "I'm on board with getting an ordinance, and we can do it now, or we can try to stagger it, maybe until the next Fiscal Year so we don't take a bigger hit. We've got the money coming in for our

cell phone towers in December," said Dean. "I'm just putting this out as we move forward; these things are getting pricey."

Town Attorney John Reid suggested to roll the proposed ordinance, if brought to the board, onto the incoming MuniCode, a unifying document for town ordinances, which will be finalized in December.

It was the pleasure of the board to move forward in the direction Attorney Reid provided, however, the item was unofficially tabled until a further date. It is not immediately clear which roads will limit certain weight, however, it is speculated more discussion will ensue toward the end of the year.

requested collecting a parking fee again this coming football season, stating that the collection had been a successful fundraising effort last season. With the money collected from the parking fees last season, Burt said the boosters were able to

make roofing repairs to the field house. The boosters also used those funds to purchase a storage building in which to securely store a golf cart that had been donated to the football team. The MCHS basketball program was also able to earn $1,800 by collecting the parking fees each night. Burt noted that there were many improvements still needing to be made, namely the restrooms at the stadium, the press box and others. Burt also mentioned that the air conditioner in the field house was not working and

was posing a health hazard to the students with the hot summer months still upon the area. "[The field house was] a piece of junk years ago, it's a piece of junk now," said Burt.

Board member Carol Gibson expressed concern over the fact that Madison County is a very poor county and many people may not be able to afford the $5 parking fee. "I want the board to keep in mind that out of 67 counties [in the state], we are number 67 in terms of the poverty level," said Gibson. "We have very few opportunities for entertainment for these families and children. This [paying for parking] is an added burden."

A motion was made to allow the boosters to continue collecting a parking fee for the upcoming season. The motion passed on a 4-1 vote, with Gibson casting the dissenting vote.

Addressing the potential threat of long-term care expenses may be one of the biggest financial challenges for individuals who are developing a retirement strategy.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 69 percent of people over age 65 can expect to need extended care services at some point in their lives. So, understanding the various types of long-term care services – and what those services may cost – is critical as you consider your retirement approach.

What Is Long-Term Care? Long-term care is not a single activity. It refers to a variety of medical and non-medical services needed by those who have a chronic illness or disability that is most commonly associated with aging.

Long-term care can include everything from assistance with activities of daily living – help dressing, bathing, using the bathroom, or even driving to the store – to more intensive therapeutic and medical care requiring the services of skilled medical personnel.

Long-term care may be provided at home, at a community center, in an assisted living facility, or in a skilled nursing home. And long-term care is not exclusively for the elderly; it is possible to need long-term care at any age.

How Much Does Long-Term Care Cost? Long-term care costs vary state by state and region by

region. The national average for care in a skilled care facility (semi-private in a nursing home) is $85,775 a year. The national average for care in an

assisted living center is $45,000 a year. Home health aides cost a median $18,200 per year, but that rate may increase when a licensed nurse is required.

Individuals who would rather not burden their family and friends have two main options for covering the cost of long-term care: they can choose to self-insure or they can purchase long-term care insurance.

Many self-insure by default – simply because they haven't made other arrangements. Those who self-insure may depend on personal savings

and investments to fund any long-term care needs. The other approach is to consider purchasing long-term care insurance, which can cover all levels of care, from skilled care to custodial care to in-home assistance.

When it comes to addressing your long-term care needs, many look to select a strategy that may help them protect assets, preserve dignity, and maintain independence. If those concepts are important to you, consider your approach for long-term care.

We, the undersigned residents of Madison County, Fla. share a message with all our County Commissioners: Please, do not change the ordinances that currently prohibit alcohol sales on Sundays in the unincorporated areas of our county.

We love living here. We are your neighbors, your co-workers and your family. We realize our county has some chal-lenges, but we do not believe selling alcohol on Sundays will resolve any of those.

Sunday has been a special day for over 2,000 years, ever since Jesus Christ was resurrected from the grave in Je-rusalem. While we may sometimes fail to give it all the honor it deserves, we do not want to see alcohol sold on Sundays as if it is just another day of the week. So we are encouraging you, our elected Commissioners, to not change any of the current ordinances that prohibit alcohol sales on Sundays in the unincorporated areas of our county. Thank you.

Please, No Alcohol Sales On Sundays

Rick Patrick: Greene Publishing, Inc. During his Tuesday, Aug. 20 coach's show on WJHC Talk 107.5,

Madison County High School (MCHS) Head Coach Mike Coe talked about the Cowboys' performance during the "Kickoff Classic" game against Wakulla High School on Friday, Aug 16. The game, which didn't count as part of the official record, was called off at halftime with the Cowboys ahead 27-26. Coach Coe mentioned the fact that, on the defensive side of the ball, only one player, Chalon Howard, had any more than four starts in their high school career. Most Cowboy players on the defensive unit had not started any games. Coach Coe did not use this as any kind of excuse. Instead, he used the opportunity to challenge the players, telling them, "It's your turn. It's your time. Let's go."

Coach Coe seemed to be pleased with the play of the special teams unit during the pre-season game. "We had one kickoff run back for a touchdown and one run back inside their 20 [yard line] and another one inside their 45 [yard line]," said Coach Coe. With former running back Vinsonta Allen taking the role of quarterback, freeing Robert Hiers to take most of the snaps at running back, the Cowboys were able to move the ball effectively. "I like being able to put Vinsonta and Robert in the backfield at the same time. They are both talented and I would not want to try and defend against them," said Coach Coe. "Vinsonta has a good arm and his passing will improve." On the defensive side of the ball, the Cowboys' inexperience showed with misalignments and penalties that allowed the War Eagles to continue drives. "The good part is, we can fix those things; and we will," said Coach Coe. "We have had a really good couple of days of practice, working on those issues. We'll be ready for Crescent City."

The Cowboys begin their regular season on the road in Crescent City this evening to face the Raiders of Crescent City High School. This will be the first game in a season that could prove to be the toughest schedule faced by

the Cowboys in many years. "This is probably the toughest schedule we've had since I have been here," said Coach Coe. This evening, the Cowboys face a good Raiders team that made a deep playoff run in 2018, before being defeated in the Region Final by Hawthorne High School. "They [Crescent City] have good skill players and an electrifying quarterback," said Coach Coe. "They have a defense that will get after you."

The Cowboys begin their season tonight at Crescent City High School. The school is located at 2201 S. U.S. Hwy 17, in Crescent City, Fla. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Live play-by-play of the game can be heard on the Madison County Cowboy Football Facebook page.

"Let's go!" Cowboys begin tough schedule

Rick Patrick: Greene Publishing, Inc.

Brady Browning and Jared Grant combined for nearly 300 yards on

the ground to help lead the Aucilla Christian Academy (ACA) Warriors to a 42-0 shutout of the Eagles of Sherwood Christian Academy, from Albany, Ga. The road win sets the Warriors' record at 1-0 for the season, so far.

Grant had 151 yards on six carries and three touchdown runs. Browning carried the ball eight times for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Tag Williams went two-for-two in passing with 47 yards and two touchdown passes.

Defensively, Dalton Anderson had 13 total tackles for the Warriors. Austin Hebert had 10 total tackles. Nathan Dukes had nine tackles, including one tackle-for-loss. Will Sullivan had eight tackles, with two tackles-for-loss.

Grant and Brown shared Players of the Week honors for the offense. Anderson was named Defensive Player of the Week. The Warrior of the Week honor went to Dukes.

Next up for the Warriors will be a home game against the Oak Hall Eagles, from Gainesville, Fla. The game is set for Friday, Aug. 30. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Story submitted: Norman Bush World War II came and the Brooks family,

surrounded by young men, were one of the first to see their boys go off to war. To see their young men be put in harms way was not taken lightly by Ma and Pa Brooks, but as patriotic Americans, they watched them leave to foreign places of unknown origins.

The Brooks family, like others in the community, were farmers and their livelihood depended on their success to provide for their family. There was Charlie, who was the oldest; Paul; Herbert; and Frank, who was the youngest son. Then there were Kate and Elenor, who was referred to as El. The Brooks lived in one of the biggest houses in the Lovett community, which still stands today, occupied by Paul Brooks Jr. and wife, Pat, who is the descendent of the Brooks family.

Charlie Brooks married Emma Stokes prior to being drafted in the service. After his tenure in the service, he returned home and had a son and daughter: James and Francis respectively. Later, Paul and Herbert returned home after the war and continued on the farm. During Paul's enlistment, he was sent to Washington D.C. where he met his beautiful wife, Lilly Schroeder, who was employed by the federal government at the United States Pentagon. They later married and returned to the Lovett community and raised seven children: Abbie, Donna, Jean, Roger (often called Butch), Joycie, Paul Jr. and Lillie Jane.

Paul Brooks Sr. farmed and worked at a paper mill. Holding down two jobs wasn't easy, but this was a way of life for him – one that he enjoyed.

Herbert Brooks came home after the war and married Monett Kelley, who was his next door neighbor. They had one son, called Hubby, and four daughters: Monney, Dot, Beth and Lee. Leaving the Lovett community some 30 years ago and returning causes one to forget faces and names. After all, these youngsters now have grandchildren of their own. Time waits on no one.

In researching the Brooks family records, we find a limited amount of information concerning the Brooks brothers and their time spent in the military. We do know that Charlie was drafted and found himself in North America with Major General George Patton, who was commanding the North African Campaign. The campaign lasted from 1940 to 1942 and several battles were fought including Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Maurithania, Sudan, Tunisia and the western Sahara. We believe that Charlie was involved in the battle of Kasserine Pass in Tunisia, which involved the 1st Battalion, 25th Regiment and 16th Infantry, along with the 19th Combat Engineer Regiment and the 6th artillery.

We believe that Charlie was with the 16th

Infantry division. At any rate, he was one of the men who helped General Patton defeat Romel, the Desert Fox, who was never captured in Africa even though thousands of his troops surrendered. The story goes that Hitler knew that he was losing the desert war and pulled Romel out so as not to be embarrassed with the loss of one of his best generals.

Through the defeat, the fighting was not over for Charlie as he followed General Patton into the invasion of Sicily. From the heat of the desert to the snow covered mountains of Sicily, Charlie fought his way with comrades falling all around him. Charlie was the oldest in his company and many of his buddies called him "pawpaw." One thing is for sure: Charlie Brooks carried his load. Being a farm boy, he knew how to shoot straight.

With men falling all around, he held his ground, firing back at the enemy and hitting his target. Charlie Brooks returned home and raised a family, but passed away on Aug. 8, 1967, leaving behind his wife and children. He never talked much about his experiences during the war and some memories are reported to have went to the grave with him.

While Charlie was away in Sicily fighting the ground battle, Frank Brooks was assigned to the 389th Bomber Command, 8th Air Force as a turret belly gunner on a B-24 Liberator by the name of Lady Liberty, flying out of Jenneby, Germany. The turret gunners made life miserable for the Luftwaffe fighter of Hitler's regime.

Small in stature, Frank was selected and trained to be a turret gunner; the men who were cramped in those bubbles had to be small due to the limited space. Lest we not forget the sub-temperatures of the cold. He did have at his disposal two .50 caliber machine guns to fire at the enemies, whom he called his "babies."

Like his brothers, Frank grew up to work hard, play hard and enjoy life. It has been said that Frank loved fast cars and spent a lot of his time modifying old jalopies owned by the Brooks family. It's been said that you could hear Frank coming down the road before you could see him. One has to remember that the country roads during his time were dirt roads and when driving, you had to be careful or else you would end up in the ditch.

Research shows that the B-24 bombers were a work of art, built by the Consolidated Aircraft Corps to withstand anything. With four supercharged radial engines with 14 cylinders each, each engine had the equivalent of 1,200 horsepower. The bombays were loaded with bombs, which could total up to 12,000 Kg., depending on the distance to the target.

The fly boys of the 389th were ready to bring destruction to the enemy. On the morning of Nov. 2, 1943, just before daybreak, the B-24's were lined up

and ready for take off. In the cockpit among Frank and behind the yoke of Lady Liberty was pilot 1LT. Norval O. Peterson, of Stratford, Ct. Next to him was 1LT. Leory R. Bossetti, of Sandusky, Ohio. Behind them was 2LT. Eugene F. McKean, from New York City, N.Y. In the bombadier position was 2LT. Harman Hays Jr., from Atchison, Kan. Waist gunners included SSGT. Charles F. Openlander, from Norristown, Pa.; and SSGT. James R. Yarbrough, from Dothan, Ala.

This was Frank's third time out. As the plane was waiting for take off, his thoughts were of home and some of Ma Brooks' home cooking, no doubt.

Meanwhile back at the Brooks household, Ma and Pa Brooks waited each and every day to hear from Charlie and Frank. Charlie's wife, Emma, was staying with Ma and Pa Brooks. Around lunch time on Nov. 13, 1943, a big black limousine turned in the driveway and two men got out and approached the house. The Brooks family knew this was bad news. During that time, a funeral director and clergy always brought the news of a deceased soldier.

The preacher handed Pa Brooks the telegram, sealed formally in an envelope. Pa Brooks refused to open it and he knew it was one of his sons, he just didn't know which one it was. At the moment, he didn't want to know.

Around 3 p.m., Emma couldn't stand it any longer and asked Pa Brooks to open the envelope. It was good news for Emma, but bad news for the family as Frank had died.

History shows that on the same day the Brooks family received the telegram, Lady Liberty had been struck by German anti-aircraft fire. The pilots were left without control. Lady Liberty had gone down, striking another B-24 bomber. Approximately 20 sacrificed their lives that day because America asked them to.

Frank's body was not recovered until many years after the war. This writer remembers attending his funeral at Shiloh Methodist Church, the first military funeral I ever attended. A 21-gun salute, along with Taps, were displayed as a part of the full military honors offered.

Even as a young man, I could not hold back my tears. Frank Brooks' remains were buried beside his Mother and Father.

Bush has fond memories of the Brooks family. The tobacco fields and working on the farm was a way of life. Oftentimes, we would find ourselves out in the fields cropping tobacco, which was a primary crop for farmers in those days.

A special thanks goes to the Brooks family, especially James, Joycie and Paul Jr. who have shared much of the information concerning the family. God bless the Brooks family and God bless the United States of America.

Mickey Starling: Greene Publishing, Inc. Very few of us ever escape the need to

repair those pesky holes that are so easily created in drywall. Kids are especially gifted at poking holes in the wall with sharp objects or kicking toys into the wall that leave lasting and deep impressions.

Fortunately, drywall repair is not difficult. With the right directions and a reasonably steady hand, you can do the job without having to call a contractor or handyman. The necessary tools for the job are a drywall sander, drywall saw, dust mask, paintbrush, screw gun, taping knife and a utility knife. Materials needed will include drywall, drywall screws, drywall tape and joint compound.

One of the first things you need to do is measure the drywall thickness. Most drywall is a half-inch thick, but you need to be certain of the thickness you need. Also, you can save money by asking the store for large pieces of damaged drywall, since you can cut out the size needed, rather than buying a full sheet.

Before screwing in the new drywall, nail in some backboard for the drywall to attach to. It is best to use a soft, lightweight wood, such as pine. Space the screws about six inches apart. The trickiest part is next. To create a smooth finish, you will need to apply a coat of compound and a strip of tape to each joint. The compound will need to be thinned slightly by adding a small amount of water. This helps the tape to imbed better. Smooth the tape with a six-inch knife, pulling out from the center towards each end. Squeeze some of the compound out from under the tape so that you don't create humps in the wall. Immediately apply another light coating of compound over the tape and smooth it out onto the wall.

You will need to apply a few more coats of compound to blend and smooth the taped joints so that it will be invisible when painted. Use a straightedge to check for any dips or bumps. Use the taping knife to knock off bumps and ridges and add more coats as needed. Now, you are ready to sand, prime and paint.

Repairing your own drywall saves money

Savannah Reams: Greene Publishing, Inc. According to

Energy Star, a program from the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the coolest you should keep your home while inside is 78 degrees. The program goes on to say that the thermostat should be set at 85 degrees when you're away and 82 degrees while you're sleeping.

Research conducted by Consumer Reports

shows that families can save nearly three percent on their utility bill for every degree they raise the

temperature in their home. Ceiling fans are recommended. They also suggest opening windows at night and closing them first thing in the morning. During the day, they recommend to draw shades or curtains to prevent the sun from heating your home.

With summer's highest temperatures

ranging between 90 and 100 degrees, the question remains, have any of these people actually visited Florida?

Home should be kept at 78 degrees, according to EPA

Mickey Starling: Greene Publishing, Inc. Weed eating is a common chore for all

of us during the summer. Few of us are blessed with yards that can be taken care of entirely by mowers. Trees, shrubs and fences often force us into cranking up a weed eater.

Presently, my yard would be happy to see an electric or gas weed eater, but having used both types in the past, I can make some helpful observations. The primary issue to consider is yard size. An electric weed eater is limited by the length of your extension cord, unless you are using a battery powered model. The battery powered units are great, except the batteries lose power quickly, especially as the battery ages. Stocking up on extra batteries solves that issue, but it adds to the expense of it all, since they cost between $35 and $50.

If you have plenty of extension cord, the electric version works pretty well and requires very little maintenance. You will need to keep the vents on the motor clear of debris because failing to do so will cause the motor to burn up. Electric units typically require very specific replacement spools for trimming line, so pay close attention to your model specifics when it's time to buy replacements. The only other drawback to electric weed eaters is that the power level is slightly lower than the gas models.

However, if your yard is large or presents the need for greater power, you will want to go with a gas model. There are some issues to consider. Many brands require the mixing of gas and oil to properly fuel them. This can be remedied by buying pre-mixed fuel. Something else that is common is that gas trimmers can be difficult to start. I've become exhausted just looking at my gas trimmer. I have tried all of the standard recommendations about keeping the gas tank empty when putting the trimmer away for the season and only using non-ethanol gas. Both of these suggestions are important to improving the life of the trimmer, but I have never owned a gas trimmer that wasn't eventually hard to start.

For my money and effort, the electric unit is the best and I highly recommend the Black and Decker brand, because they are usually more dependable and last longer. The cranking issues were the deciding factor for me. Plug in the electric trimmer and push a button and you are trimming. Just be sure not to mistake your extension cord for weeds. This will make for a short day's work but you might get to the pool sooner.

ENTERTAINMENT12 ~ Friday, August 23, 2019 The Madison Enterprise-Recorder

Growing up can be difficult. New terms, new friends and new experiences are around every corner. In the new film "Good Boys", the major transition for the beanbag boys, as they call themselves, is from fifth grade to sixth grade and all of the "adult" things that will change life as they know it.

Max (Jacob Tremblay), Lucas (Keith L. Williams) and Thor (Brady Noon) are trying to fit in. When Max is invited to his first kissing party, he, of course, wants to go with his best friends. But there is one problem for the trio: No one knows how to kiss.

Together, the normally good kids skip school to prepare for the party by helping Max learn how to kiss. Along the way they will play with drones, drink beer, run in traffic and so much more -- you know, all the things you would hope your ordinary sixth-grade boy would skip school to do. (Yes, that comment is best read with full sarcasm.)

This is a film loaded with extremely raw language and shocking adult moments for our young stars. But, at the core, it is about the innocence and naiveté that we leave behind as we grow up. Lessons aside, there are just many moments of pure

laughter in "Good Boys". Sure Tremblay, Williams and Noon

shouldn't technically view this R-rated film, but they are the people who make this film work so well. Each one of the boys has a moment in the sun and takes turns with their scene-stealing moments.

There are some moments that are lazy as stereotypes reign supreme, but for those of us adults who have not walked the halls of a middle school any time recently, it's eye opening and,

generally speaking, I found myself drawn to the film.

Coming-of-age films have always been a staple of American cinema, but rarely have we dug into the struggles

that exist, even in the realm of the kids we consider the "good kids" in school.

Grow up. When are you going to act your age? I've heard it all, and kids today have heard it all. But why should we? Some days, I wish I could revert to the days of discovery again. The days when I just did and not worried about what everyone thought. I do it every day through various media outlets, but I temper everything else. These good boys help me remember the innocence of youth and, along the way, do a really good job at making me laugh as well.
