Language fun - two words pronounced differently

By Linda Waggener

Two words teased my ears while listening to a podcast recently. The speaker's pronunciation of the following made me smile:

- Medi-te-RARE-ian (speaking about the popular Mediterranean diet), and

- EGG-Zorb (speaking of the body's ability to absorb nutrients).

Phillip Wood Coffey - Dream

Oh, there has been so many sightings of Elvis
Although hear tell he's been gone since August 1977.
But how many of us have seen David Bowie, long gone
Standing on the side of Bramlett Road in their dreams?

There he was, being a country fella - picked him right up.
Said he had fell on hard times - needed a transmission repaired.
Well I said,"don't that beat all, with all that money, needing my help."
Still you be so lowly - an Englishman - driving an old junker like me.

Thanks to community from Reliford family

By LaVerne Reliford

Thank you to everyone who has been so kind to us at Jerry's death.

Our family would like to thank everyone who sent food, donated to our Church, or maybe you sent flowers. So many of you came to Gerald's funeral to show your love and respect. We were overwhelmed at your love and appreciation for his life. Your thoughts and memories of Gerald were healing to our hearts. We especially want to thank Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home for the respect and care they showed to our family.

Again, thank you Adair County and everyone who came.
