Frances Easterling moved from her house on Oakley Wells road this week. She is moving to North Carolina to be near some family members. The house will soon be occupied by William and Elsie Hunter. We hope everyone is happy with their change in locations.
Union City Ruritan will meet Monday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. Since there is no regular meeting in December, this will be the last meeting of 2009. It will be good for all members to be present as we plan for the new year.
Did anyone hear gun fire at the home of William Haden Harris last Saturday? Nothing criminal or bloody was happening. Men from Union City Christian Church gathered at noon for a steak dinner and then spent the afternoon shooting at clay pigeons.
Health insurance is a big topic these days. If you do not have insurance or know someone without insurance, you will be interested in this meeting.

On a personal note, I had the privilege of speaking for the homecoming service at my home church, River Drive Christian, in Irvine last Sunday. An added bonus was music that day by the Diggles Family from Lexington. They were kind enough to allow me to play violin with them on one song. We had a great time of fellowship and remembering 49 years of the church’s history.
Thanks to Johnny Bowen of Richmond who taught Sunday school and preached at Flatwoods in my absence.
Happy Birthday this week to Chuck VanWinkle, Friday; Donald Wells, Sunday; Daniel Wells and Millard Middleton, Monday; Frenus Masters and Eva Curry, Nov. 19.

Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?
Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

Common-sense job hunting
I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new job.
He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.
Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job. -
It’s a love thing
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

Managing the calving season
Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed. -
Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore
A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
“Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible! -
Topping trees is a bad practice
Topping damages hundreds of trees each year in Kentucky.
Many people are unaware of the detrimental effects of this practice.
Topping involves the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees leaving stubs.
Topping can make a tree hazardous and reduce its life. -

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
Hi!
... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
(I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol) - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
