J.O.Y. Ministries asks for your gifts this holiday season

The J.O.Y. Ministries Crisis Resource Center is currently working to provide Christmas gifts to struggling families and to build an emergency shelter in partnership with local government to house those who need immediate shelter after a crisis. All these efforts require funds, so we want to make this our biggest fund-raising campaign ever!

By Maggie Coleman

Thank you very much for the support that you have shown to J.O.Y. Ministries in the past. Many in our community and beyond have donated generously to support our local Missions Week and international mission trips, the Paz-Holley Project, or the general fund that runs the Crisis Resource Center. It is time for J.O.Y. to undertake our annual fundraiser. We have chosen the theme "Experience J.O.Y. this Christmas" and set a goal to raise $15,000.

Tampico, Tampico-on-the-Pike, Coburg

Compiled from notes by Ann Heskamp Curtis, Jim, and Mike Watson, 2018

The post office, and thus the community of "Tampico on the Pike," as it was often known, was located on or near the Adair-Taylor County line. The post office often shifted from Taylor to Adair, due to the close proximity of the county line and in whose store or building it then housed. The post office with this name was originally established in Taylor County.

James A. Sublett was postmaster at Sublett's Store, in Taylor County, as of 5 October 1855 and the name was officially changed to Tampico on 29 January 1857.

Kayaking checkup of Arnolds Landing on Casey Creek

By Linda Waggener, led by guide Mitzi Bault

I admire my niece Mitzi McKinley Bault so much. She is a hero in so many ways to so many people - so it made sense to put my fear of deep water in my back pocket and follow her lead looking for fall pictures, bouncing over the backroads of Adair County to landings where she and her friends put in for their Kayaking journeys. What a trip!

Mitzi posted in her nightly journal:
It’s been a wonderful day!

This afternoon I went and picked up Linda Marcum Waggener. Yep, she got the hang of getting in a Jeep. And yes, Ricky Bault, we got mud on your Jeep. It was all in the line of work. Linda was taking pictures while I was driving.

The Snake Creek boat ramp is all under water and you could not get to Arnold’s Landing for high water.

It was just a beautiful day for pictures.

Hope all had a great day. Lot’s of love from McKinley Lane... 'Nite. - MB

Thanksgiving in the midst of war, November 1943

"...Surely then, to us left on the home front, this Thanksgiving will be not only a time for thanks, but will, also, more than we have been doing in the past, to bring back peace to the world, so that we can be united families and may have turkey 'with all the trimmin's,' and sunshine and laughter in homes again."

By JIM

Late November 1943 found America two years emmeshed in the global conflict which by then had raged for over four years. Many hundreds of young Adair County men and women already had joined the armed services, and the November 24th edition of the News, published the day before Thanksgiving, announced some five dozen more local men would be examined for military fitness come December.

Not surprisingly, several other war related stories dotted the front page. Robert Naylor, late of the Breeding section, had just been promoted from First Lieutenant to Captain (he had been commissioned Second Lieutenant scarcely a year earlier), and Aviation Cadet James E. Lacy, also of Breeding, had just been graduated from the Army Air Force Training Command School and now proudly wore the gold bars of a Second Lieutenant.
